00:07:06.53\00:07:09.26
FOR THE CHILDREN'S DIVISIONS
BECAUSE IT JUST TALKS ABOUT GOD
00:07:09.26\00:07:13.60
AND HIS GREATNESS AND HIS
CREATIVE POWER AND HOW MUCH HE
00:07:13.60\00:07:16.23
LOVES US. LET'S PRAY TOGETHER.
00:07:16.23\00:07:19.26
OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN, WE THANK
YOU SO MUCH THAT YOU CREATED
00:07:19.26\00:07:23.26
EVERYTHING AROUND US THAT
REMINDS US OF YOU AND YOUR
00:07:23.26\00:07:26.00
CREATIVE POWER. HOW
YOU FORMED THE WORLD -
00:07:26.00\00:07:29.50
YOU PLACED US HERE
NOT TO DIE, NOT TO SIN.
00:07:29.50\00:07:33.83
AND WE THANK YOU SO MUCH, LORD,
THAT YOU HAVE PROMISED THAT
00:07:33.83\00:07:36.83
YOU'RE GOING TO COME BACK AND
REDEEM US AND RESTORE US TO WHAT
00:07:36.83\00:07:39.43
YOU FIRST INTENTIONALLY MADE
US TO BE AND THAT IS A FRIEND TO
00:07:39.43\00:07:43.36
WALK WITH YOU FACE TO FACE.
WE LOOK FORWARD TO THAT DAY,
00:07:43.36\00:07:46.30

MY VOICE SOUNDS A LITTLE STRANGE
00:08:54.16\00:08:58.33
THIS MORNING BUT MAYBE IT'LL
WARM UP AS WE GO ALONG THIS
00:08:58.33\00:09:01.93
MORNING SO PRAY FOR ME.
WE'RE IN LESSON #5 ON THIS
00:09:01.93\00:09:06.90
QUARTERLY'S THEME, WHICH IS
'CHRIST AND HIS LAW' AND WE'RE
00:09:06.90\00:09:12.66
LOOKING, THIS WEEK, AT A VERY
PERTINENT SUBJECT: 'CHRIST AND
00:09:12.66\00:09:17.76
THE SABBATH' - AND THERE'S
A MEMORY TEXT THERE FROM MARK
00:09:17.76\00:09:21.36
CHAPTER 2:27 AND 28.
JESUS SAID, "THE SABBATH WAS
00:09:21.36\00:09:26.23
MADE FOR MAN, AND
NOT MAN FOR THE SABBATH.
00:09:26.23\00:09:30.03
THEREFORE THE SON OF MAN
IS ALSO LORD OF THE SABBATH."
00:09:30.03\00:09:36.20
NOW THERE IS, ON SUNDAY'S
SECTION - IT'S ACTUALLY A
00:09:36.20\00:09:42.60
QUESTION - IT SAYS,
"THE JEWISH SABBATH?"
00:09:42.60\00:09:46.00
BECAUSE I REMEMBER BEFORE I -
WELL, KIND OF ABOUT THE TIME I
00:09:46.00\00:09:50.96
WAS BECOMING A SEVENTH-DAY
ADVENTIST AND I WOULD TALK ABOUT
00:09:50.96\00:09:54.80
THE SABBATH, PEOPLE WOULD
SAY, 'OH, THE JEWISH SABBATH?'
00:09:54.80\00:09:57.93
AND YOU'VE PROBABLY
HEARD THAT YOURSELF.
00:09:57.93\00:09:59.56
'OH, IT'S THE JEWISH SABBATH.'
WELL, YEAH, THE JEWS HAD IT, BUT
00:09:59.56\00:10:04.53
IT'S FOR EVERYBODY. IN
FACT, LET'S BEGIN. LET'S GO TO
00:10:04.53\00:10:08.26
GENESIS CHAPTER 2 AND READ
VERSES 1, 2, AND 3 - GENESIS 2,
00:10:08.26\00:10:16.83
VERSES 1, 2, AND 3 AND WE'LL
JUST REFRESH OURSELVES ABOUT
00:10:16.83\00:10:23.16
THE ORIGIN OF THE SABBATH AND
WHO IT WAS ACTUALLY MADE FOR.
00:10:23.16\00:10:27.63
GENESIS 2, THE FIRST THREE
VERSES: "THUS THE HEAVENS AND
00:10:27.63\00:10:32.93
THE EARTH WERE FINISHED,
AND ALL THE HOST OF THEM.
00:10:32.93\00:10:37.60
AND ON THE SEVENTH DAY GOD ENDED
HIS WORK WHICH HE HAD MADE; AND
00:10:37.60\00:10:41.56
HE RESTED ON THE SEVENTH DAY
FROM ALL HIS WORK WHICH HE HAD
00:10:41.56\00:10:44.80
MADE. AND GOD
BLESSED THE SEVENTH DAY
00:10:44.80\00:10:47.70
AND SANCTIFIED IT:
BECAUSE THAT IN IT HE HAD RESTED
00:10:47.70\00:10:52.80
FROM ALL HIS WORK
WHICH GOD CREATED AND MADE."
00:10:52.80\00:10:57.70
NOW THE FIRST HUMAN MAN THAT WAS
MADE - WAS HIS NAME ABRAHAM OR
00:10:57.70\00:11:03.20
WAS HE CALLED
ADAM? ADAM. THAT'S RIGHT.
00:11:03.20\00:11:07.03
SO ADAM COMES ALONG AND, OF
COURSE, ALONG COMES HIS SWEET
00:11:07.03\00:11:10.56
WIFE, AFTER A LITTLE BIT OF
SURGERY ON HIS RIBCAGE, BUT THE
00:11:10.56\00:11:15.53
FIRST TWO HUMAN BEINGS WERE ADAM
AND EVE AND THEY WERE THE FIRST
00:11:15.53\00:11:20.66
TWO, ON THE SIXTH DAY, AS THE
SUN WENT DOWN, TO ENTER INTO THE
00:11:20.66\00:11:25.93
VERY FIRST SABBATH THAT GOD HAD
CREATED AND THEN HE BLESSED IT.
00:11:25.93\00:11:30.76
AND THEY WERE THERE, ACTUALLY,
TO BE A PART OF THAT - TO SEE
00:11:30.76\00:11:33.76
THAT HAPPEN. SO THE
SABBATH WAS GIVEN TO THEM
00:11:33.76\00:11:38.43
- THE FIRST PROGENITORS - THAT'S
A BIG WORD, BUT I THINK IT'S
00:11:38.43\00:11:41.63
RIGHT - OF THE HUMAN RACE -
THE FIRST MAN AND WOMAN AND THE
00:11:41.63\00:11:46.36
FIRST MOM AND DAD
- THERE THEY WERE.
00:11:46.36\00:11:48.73
AND SO THE SABBATH WAS GIVEN
TO THEM. NOW ABRAHAM DIDN'T
00:11:48.73\00:11:53.86
COME ALONG UNTIL CLOSE TO 1,900
- 2,000 YEARS THEREABOUTS -
00:11:53.86\00:11:58.50
JUST IN BALLPARK FIGURES THERE.
ABRAHAM DIDN'T COME ALONG UNTIL
00:11:58.50\00:12:03.06
ABOUT 2,000 YEARS
AFTER THE CREATION.
00:12:03.06\00:12:06.86
AND SO THIS IS WHERE OUR MEMORY
VERSE TIES IN: JESUS, IN MATTHEW
00:12:06.86\00:12:10.53
2:27 AND 28, HE REMINDS US THAT
THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR MAN.
00:12:10.53\00:12:17.30
AND THIS IS WHY, WHEN GOD
DECLARED HIS LAW VERBALLY - THE
00:12:17.30\00:12:24.20
TEN COMMANDMENTS FROM THE TOP OF
MOUNT SINAI, AND HE GOT TO THE
00:12:24.20\00:12:29.26
SABBATH COMMANDMENT, HE USED
THE WORDS - WHAT DID HE SAY?
00:12:29.26\00:12:32.43
HOW DID IT BEGIN? HE
SAID WHAT? 'REMEMBER' - RIGHT?
00:12:32.43\00:12:37.66
GOD SAID, 'REMEMBER THE
SABBATH DAY'. IN OTHER WORDS,
00:12:37.66\00:12:43.20
IF THE SABBATH WAS SOMETHING
BRAND NEW JUST FOR THE JEWS
00:12:43.20\00:12:46.10
HE WOULD HAVE SAID, 'HERE'S
SOMETHING NEW.' BUT HE SAID NO.
00:12:46.10\00:12:50.50
HE SAID, 'REMEMBER THE SABBATH
DAY' AND GOD IS REFERRING BACK
00:12:50.50\00:12:53.93
HERE TO WHEN THE SABBATH
WAS FIRST BROUGHT INTO BEING,
00:12:53.93\00:12:58.50
CREATED, AND BLESSED - AND THAT
WAS CREATION, WHEN IT WAS FIRST
00:12:58.50\00:13:03.60
ESTABLISHED FOR THE BENEFIT OF
ALL HUMANITY, NOT JUST FOR THE
00:13:03.60\00:13:09.43
JEWS. BUT YOU
KNOW AS WELL AS I DO,
00:13:09.43\00:13:14.93
THERE'S A LOT OF SUNDAY-KEEPING
CHRISTIANS WHO DON'T KNOW ANY
00:13:14.93\00:13:19.86
BETTER, SO LET'S BE VERY
GENTLE WITH THESE PEOPLE.
00:13:19.86\00:13:24.43
THEY DON'T KNOW ANY BETTER AND
THEY KEEP SUNDAY AND THEY HEAR
00:13:24.43\00:13:28.50
ABOUT THE SABBATH
- THE REAL SABBATH -
00:13:28.50\00:13:31.53
AND THEY SAY, 'OH,
IT'S THE JEWISH SABBATH.
00:13:31.53\00:13:33.86
IT WAS GIVEN JUST FOR THE JEWS.'
AGAIN, A LOT OF THEM DON'T
00:13:33.86\00:13:37.80
REALIZE THAT BUT SOMETIMES,
PERHAPS THEIR PASTORS OR SOME
00:13:37.80\00:13:41.83
BIBLE TEACHER WILL TELL
THEM, 'NO, LOOK, LET'S GO TO
00:13:41.83\00:13:46.53
DEUTERONOMY CHAPTER 5' - LET'S
TURN THERE BY THE WAY - LET'S GO
00:13:46.53\00:13:49.90
TO DEUTERONOMY CHAPTER 5 AND
THEY MAY BE GIVEN THIS KIND OF
00:13:49.90\00:13:54.86
INSTRUCTION: THEY SAY, 'LET'S
TURN TO DEUTERONOMY CHAPTER 5
00:13:54.86\00:13:59.56
AND LET'S NOTICE WHAT THE
SABBATH - WHO IT WAS GIVEN TO
00:13:59.56\00:14:03.83
AND WHY.' DEUTERONOMY CHAPTER 5
- BECAUSE THE SABBATH IS HERE -
00:14:03.83\00:14:12.26
REPEATED HERE IN DEUTERONOMY
CHAPTER 5, VERSES 12 THROUGH 15
00:14:12.26\00:14:19.50
- DEUTERONOMY 5:12-15.
AND IT SAYS, "KEEP THE SABBATH
00:14:19.50\00:14:27.33
DAY TO SANCTIFY IT, AS THE LORD
THY GOD HATH COMMANDED THEE.
00:14:27.33\00:14:33.23
SIX DAYS THOU SHALT
LABOR, AND DO ALL THY WORK:" -
00:14:33.23\00:14:36.93
NOW, IS THERE ANYTHING
HERE ABOUT CREATION YET?
00:14:36.93\00:14:39.26
NO, I DON'T SEE IT.
00:14:39.26\00:14:40.83
VERSE 14 - BUT I'M GOING TO COME
BACK TO SOMETHING IN A MOMENT -
00:14:40.83\00:14:44.03
"BUT THE SEVENTH DAY IS THE
SABBATH OF THE LORD THY GOD: IN
00:14:44.03\00:14:48.30
IT THOU SHALT NOT DO ANY
WORK, THOU, NOR THY SON, NOR THY
00:14:48.30\00:14:53.46
DAUGHTER, NOR THY MANSERVANT,
NOR THY MAIDSERVANT, NOR THINE
00:14:53.46\00:14:58.30
OX, NOR THINE ASS, NOR ANY
OF THY CATTLE, NOR THY STRANGER
00:14:58.30\00:15:02.93
THAT IS WITHIN THY GATES;
THAT THY MANSERVANT AND THY
00:15:02.93\00:15:07.03
MAIDSERVANT MAY
REST AS WELL AS THOU.
00:15:07.03\00:15:10.86
AND REMEMBER THAT THOU WAST
A SERVANT IN THE LAND OF EGYPT,
00:15:10.86\00:15:15.03
AND THAT THE LORD THY GOD
BROUGHT THEE OUT THENCE THROUGH
00:15:15.03\00:15:18.36
A MIGHTY HAND AND BY A STRETCHED
OUT ARM: THEREFORE THE LORD THY
00:15:18.36\00:15:22.60
GOD COMMANDED THEE TO
KEEP THE SABBATH DAY."
00:15:22.60\00:15:25.46
SO SOME BIBLE INSTRUCTORS WILL
TELL THEIR INQUIRING STUDENTS,
00:15:25.46\00:15:29.13
'SEE, LOOK, THERE'S THE SABBATH.
IT WAS GIVEN TO THE JEWS AS A
00:15:29.13\00:15:34.96
MEMORIAL THAT GOD BROUGHT
THEM OUT OF SLAVERY IN EGYPT.
00:15:34.96\00:15:41.40
WELL, THAT'S TRUE BUT IT'S NOT
THE WHOLE STORY AND THERE'S A
00:15:41.40\00:15:45.23
LITTLE GIVEAWAY HERE. IF
YOU GO BACK TO VERSE 12 OF
00:15:45.23\00:15:49.70
THIS SAME PASSAGE, GOD
SAYS, "KEEP THE SABBATH DAY TO
00:15:49.70\00:15:54.36
SANCTIFY IT, AS THE LORD
THY GOD HATH COMMANDED THEE."
00:15:54.36\00:15:58.80
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? HATH -
HATH - IT'S ANOTHER REMINDER -
00:15:58.80\00:16:03.80
KEEP THE SABBATH DAY AS I HAVE
PREVIOUSLY REMINDED YOU TO DO.
00:16:03.80\00:16:09.20
YOU GET THE POINT
HERE? AND SO WHAT IS THIS?
00:16:09.20\00:16:12.20
IT'S A REFERENCE THAT TAKES US
BACK AGAIN TO EXODUS CHAPTER 20
00:16:12.20\00:16:18.06
WHERE GOD SAID, 'REMEMBER THE
SABBATH DAY.' IN EXODUS 20 WHEN
00:16:18.06\00:16:21.76
IT SAYS, 'REMEMBER THE SABBATH
DAY' - THAT TAKES US RIGHT BACK
00:16:21.76\00:16:25.06
TO GENESIS CHAPTER
2, VERSES 1, 2, AND 3.
00:16:25.06\00:16:28.83
SO IT TAKES US ALL THE
WAY BACK AGAIN TO CREATION.
00:16:28.83\00:16:35.20
NOW IT'S - BUT OF COURSE, THIS
PASSAGE HERE IN DEUTERONOMY -
00:16:35.20\00:16:40.53
IT'S STILL TRUE, I
MEAN, WE CAN'T THROW IT OUT.
00:16:40.53\00:16:42.83
AND IT'S NOT ACTUALLY CLASHING
WITH THE GENESIS ACCOUNT OF
00:16:42.83\00:16:47.06
CREATION OR IN - ACCOUNT OF THE
SABBATH OR IN EXODUS 20, BUT GOD
00:16:47.06\00:16:52.60
IS BRINGING TO LIGHT HERE
TWO THINGS ABOUT THE SABBATH.
00:16:52.60\00:16:56.53
HE'S REMINDING US THAT HE IS
THE CREATOR - THAT HE MADE US -
00:16:56.53\00:17:02.43
BUT HE'S ALSO REMINDING US
AS WE EXTRAPOLATE HERE FROM
00:17:02.43\00:17:07.73
DEUTERONOMY CHAPTER 5, VERSE
15 THE FACT THAT HE'S ALSO OUR
00:17:07.73\00:17:14.63
REDEEMER. HE'S OUR
CREATOR AND HE'S OUR
00:17:14.63\00:17:17.96
REDEEMER AND IN THE SABBATH
COMMANDMENT IN EXODUS 20, WE'RE
00:17:17.96\00:17:22.40
REMINDED HE IS OUR CREATOR.
AND IN THIS ONE, AS WE DRAW THIS
00:17:22.40\00:17:27.20
LESSON OUT, AS HE'S SPOKEN
TO THE ISRAELITES, WE DRAW FROM
00:17:27.20\00:17:31.06
THIS THAT HE'S ALSO OUR
REDEEMER AND DELIVERER AND THE
00:17:31.06\00:17:34.40
SABBATH IS ALSO A
MEMORIAL OF THAT AS WELL.
00:17:34.40\00:17:38.66
LET'S GO BACK TO VERSE 15
AND SEE WHAT HE SAYS HERE TO THE
00:17:38.66\00:17:42.90
ISRAELITES, "AND REMEMBER THAT
THOU WAST A SERVANT IN THE LAND
00:17:42.90\00:17:48.10
OF EGYPT, AND THAT THE LORD
THY GOD BROUGHT THEE OUT THENCE
00:17:48.10\00:17:52.33
THROUGH A MIGHTY HAND AND BY A
STRETCHED OUT ARM: THEREFORE THE
00:17:52.33\00:17:56.33
LORD THY GOD COMMANDED
THEE TO KEEP THE SABBATH DAY."
00:17:56.33\00:18:02.13
AND SO WHAT HE TELLS THE
ISRAELITES THERE, 'YOU WERE A
00:18:02.13\00:18:08.06
SLAVE AND THE SABBATH IS THERE
TO REMIND YOU THAT YOU WERE
00:18:08.06\00:18:10.56
DELIVERED FROM
SLAVERY; THEREFORE KEEP IT
00:18:10.56\00:18:14.56
AS A MEMORIAL OF BOTH THINGS.
00:18:14.56\00:18:16.33
AND WHEN WE GO - I'M JUST
HARKING BACK A LITTLE BIT HERE
00:18:16.33\00:18:19.10
TO EXODUS 20, VERSE 1 - GOD
ACTUALLY MENTIONS THIS BONDAGE
00:18:19.10\00:18:24.43
THING AGAIN - EXODUS 20, VERSE
1, "AND GOD SPAKE ALL THESE
00:18:24.43\00:18:28.00
WORDS SAYING," - THIS IS ON THE
TOP OF MOUNT SINAI, JUST GETTING
00:18:28.00\00:18:31.93
READY TO RECITE THE TEN
COMMANDMENTS - "AND GOD SPAKE
00:18:31.93\00:18:36.33
ALL THESE WORDS SAYING, 'I
AM THE LORD THY GOD, WHICH HAVE
00:18:36.33\00:18:39.66
BROUGHT THEE OUT OF THE LAND
OF EGYPT, OUT OF THE HOUSE OF
00:18:39.66\00:18:44.36
BONDAGE.'" - SO IT'S ACTUALLY
IN 20 AS WELL - EXODUS 20 ALSO.
00:18:44.36\00:18:49.63
SO IT'S A WONDERFUL THING.
IT'S TO REMIND US OF GOD'S
00:18:49.63\00:18:51.93
CREATIVE POWER AND
ALSO HIS REDEMPTIVE POWER.
00:18:51.93\00:18:57.33
IN EXODUS 20, VERSE 2 - ACTUALLY
I'LL JUST MENTION THAT - EXODUS
00:18:57.33\00:19:01.26
20, VERSE 2 - WE LOOKED AGAIN
HOW YOU FIND THIS BONDAGE THING
00:19:01.26\00:19:04.63
ALSO MENTIONED WHEN GOD GAVE
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS FROM SINAI.
00:19:04.63\00:19:11.50
SO, FROM WHAT WE READ ABOUT
GOD SPEAKING TO THE ISRAELITES
00:19:11.50\00:19:16.96
SAYING, 'YOU WERE ONCE IN
BONDAGE AND THE SABBATH IS TO
00:19:16.96\00:19:19.70
REMIND YOU OF THAT,' THEN
THAT ALSO IS SOMETHING WE ALSO
00:19:19.70\00:19:22.83
CAN TAKE TO HEART OURSELVES,
CAN WE NOT? TO REMIND OURSELVES,
00:19:22.83\00:19:27.90
'HERE BUT BY THE GRACE OF GOD
GO I - HERE BUT BY THE GRACE OF
00:19:27.90\00:19:32.90
GOD - HERE I AM. I'M
BORN WITH A SINFUL NATURE.
00:19:32.90\00:19:36.90
I'M JUST PROGRAMMED TO DO
WHAT'S WRONG. I'M BORN WITH SIX
00:19:36.90\00:19:41.56
THOUSAND YEARS, THEREABOUTS,
OF SKEWED DNA AND EVERY -
00:19:41.56\00:19:44.63
I'VE SAID THIS BEFORE - EVERY
GENERATION THAT COMES ALONG IS
00:19:44.63\00:19:47.90
REALLY THE WEAKEST BECAUSE,
YOU KNOW, MY GRANDFATHER WAS BAD
00:19:47.90\00:19:53.23
ENOUGH, BUT I GOT HIS GENES AND
MY DAD'S GENES AND I, IN TURN,
00:19:53.23\00:19:57.23
PASSED THEM ON TO MY
KIDS AND TO MY GRANDCHILDREN.
00:19:57.23\00:20:00.03
SO EVERY GENERATION
IS ACTUALLY THE WEAKEST.
00:20:00.03\00:20:03.93
BUT BY THE GRACE OF GOD, THAT
DELIVERANCE FROM WHATEVER HOLDS
00:20:03.93\00:20:10.16
US IN THE BONDAGE OF
SIN, JESUS CAN SET US FREE.
00:20:10.16\00:20:15.93
AND SO, WHEN WE COME TO CHURCH
ON SABBATH, YOU SEE, WE SIT HERE
00:20:15.93\00:20:18.96
AND - WE SHOULD - AND
REJOICE AND YOU LOOK AT IT, THIS
00:20:18.96\00:20:21.60
BEAUTIFUL CALIFORNIA SUNSHINE -
I'M SORRY ABOUT EVERYBODY THERE
00:20:21.60\00:20:25.90
IN ENGLAND BUT WE'VE GOT
BEAUTIFUL CALIFORNIA SUNSHINE
00:20:25.90\00:20:29.60
HERE AND IT'S BEAUTIFUL, RIGHT?
00:20:29.60\00:20:32.86
AND AS WE SIT HERE WE'RE
REMINDED OF THE FACT THAT GOD
00:20:32.86\00:20:35.50
MADE US AND THIS IS THE
DAY FOR US TO REMEMBER THAT.
00:20:35.50\00:20:39.66
BUT WE'RE ALSO HERE THIS
MORNING, TO REMEMBER THE FACT
00:20:39.66\00:20:43.33
THAT JESUS NOT ONLY MADE
US BUT HE CAME TO REDEEM US.
00:20:43.33\00:20:47.96
AND SO, ON THIS BEAUTIFUL DAY
- THIS BEAUTIFUL SABBATH - I CAN
00:20:47.96\00:20:52.80
JUST BASK AND REJOICE IN THE
FACT THAT CHRIST HAS DELIVERED
00:20:52.80\00:20:58.56
ME. CAN YOU SAY 'AMEN' FOR THAT?
00:20:58.56\00:21:01.56
AND THERE'S NOTHING - THERE'S
NOTHING HE CANNOT DELIVER US
00:21:01.56\00:21:03.90
FROM. AND THE
BOOK COMES TO MIND -
00:21:03.90\00:21:06.46
'MINISTRY OF
HEALING' - I FORGET THE PAGE.
00:21:06.46\00:21:09.10
IT SAYS, 'IT DOES - IT MATTERS
NOT WHAT MASTER PASSION HOLDS
00:21:09.10\00:21:12.90
YOU IN BONDAGE, JESUS - JESUS
CAN SET YOU FREE.' LET'S GO TO
00:21:12.90\00:21:20.43
LUKE CHAPTER 4 - IN THE NEW
TESTAMENT - MATTHEW, MARK, LUKE
00:21:20.43\00:21:29.20
- LUKE CHAPTER 4. I
LOVE THIS PASSAGE HERE -
00:21:29.20\00:21:36.66
ESPECIALLY WHEN JESUS SPEAKS -
WE'RE GOING TO GO TO VERSE 16 -
00:21:36.66\00:21:41.03
LUKE 4:16 - LUKE CHAPTER
4, BEGINNING IN VERSE 16.
00:21:41.03\00:21:47.96
JESUS HAS JUST BEGUN HIS
MINISTRY - WE READ HERE, "AND HE
00:21:47.96\00:21:54.40
CAME TO NAZARETH, WHERE HE
HAD BEEN BROUGHT UP: AND, AS HIS
00:21:54.40\00:21:59.03
CUSTOM WAS, HE WENT INTO THE
SYNAGOGUE ON THE SABBATH DAY,
00:21:59.03\00:22:03.30
AND STOOD UP FOR TO READ.
00:22:03.30\00:22:06.20
AND THERE WAS DELIVERED UNTO HIM
THE BOOK OF THE PROPHET ESAIAS.
00:22:06.20\00:22:10.46
AND WHEN HE HAD OPENED THE BOOK,
HE FOUND THE PLACE WHERE IT WAS
00:22:10.46\00:22:13.46
WRITTEN," - I'D LOVE TO
HAVE HEARD THE VOICE - I'D LOVED
00:22:13.46\00:22:17.70
TO HAVE HEARD THE VOICE OF
JESUS - I JUST REALLY WOULD.
00:22:17.70\00:22:20.83
IT MUST HAVE JUST - OH - SO I'M
SORRY YOU HAVE TO PUT UP WITH
00:22:20.83\00:22:24.30
MINE, BUT TO HAVE
LISTENED TO HIM SPEAK.
00:22:24.30\00:22:29.40
AND HE'S ACTUALLY - WE'LL READ
HIS WORDS IN A MOMENT, BUT HE'S
00:22:29.40\00:22:33.23
ACTUALLY READING FROM ISAIAH
CHAPTER 61, A PROPHECY GIVEN
00:22:33.23\00:22:38.66
ABOUT 700 YEARS BY ISAIAH -
POINTING FORWARD TO THE MESSIAH.
00:22:38.66\00:22:46.46
AND HERE'S THIS, YOU
KNOW, THE CARPENTER'S SON.
00:22:46.46\00:22:49.26
HE GREW UP IN NAZARETH.
'OH, IT'S JUST THE CARPENTER'S
00:22:49.26\00:22:51.50
SON.' THEY DIDN'T SEE WHAT WAS
00:22:51.50\00:22:53.76
BEHIND THAT EXTERIOR. SO
THE CARPENTER'S SON GETS UP
00:22:53.76\00:22:56.86
TO SPEAK AND THOSE WORDS
MUST HAVE JUST BEEN SOMETHING.
00:22:56.86\00:23:03.23
AND SO HE'S READING THIS
AND HE'S READING ABOUT HIMSELF.
00:23:03.23\00:23:08.86
HE SAYS, "'THE SPIRIT OF THE
LORD IS UPON ME, BECAUSE HE HATH
00:23:08.86\00:23:14.43
ANOINTED ME TO PREACH THE GOSPEL
TO THE POOR; HE HATH SENT ME TO
00:23:14.43\00:23:19.30
HEAL THE BROKEN HEARTED,
TO PREACH DELIVERANCE TO THE
00:23:19.30\00:23:24.23
CAPTIVES, AND RECOVERING OF
SIGHT TO THE BLIND, TO SET AT
00:23:24.23\00:23:29.90
LIBERTY THEM THAT ARE BRUISED,
TO PREACH THE ACCEPTABLE YEAR OF
00:23:29.90\00:23:35.93
THE LORD.' AND HE CLOSED THE
BOOK," - IMAGINE HIM DOING IT
00:23:35.93\00:23:41.73
JUST VERY SLOWLY - CLOSED
THE BOOK - CLOSED THE SCROLL -
00:23:41.73\00:23:47.23
"AND HE GAVE IT AGAIN TO
THE MINISTER, AND SAT DOWN.
00:23:47.23\00:23:52.13
AND THE EYES OF ALL THEM THAT
WERE IN THE SYNAGOGUE WERE" -
00:23:52.13\00:23:54.60
NOTE, IT SAYS THEY
WERE - "FASTENED ON HIM."
00:23:54.60\00:23:56.80
NOW, THEY MUST HAVE HEARD PEOPLE
READ EVERY WEEK, YOU KNOW?
00:23:56.80\00:24:00.20
THEY READ VERY WELL. AND
THEY PROBABLY LISTENED TO
00:24:00.20\00:24:02.06
THEM AND WHILE HE'S HANDING THE
SCROLL, THEY PROBABLY LOOK DOWN
00:24:02.06\00:24:04.46
LIKE WE DO, YOU KNOW, YOU
SHUFFLE AROUND - YOU DO A FEW
00:24:04.46\00:24:06.60
THINGS - BUT EVERY
EYE WAS FASTENED ON HIM.
00:24:06.60\00:24:10.03
I'VE SOMETIMES THOUGHT ABOUT IT
- WHY WAS EVERY EYE FASTENED ON
00:24:10.03\00:24:12.20
HIM? BECAUSE
SOMEHOW, THE WAY HE READ
00:24:12.20\00:24:16.46
FROM THE WORD OF GOD,
THIS - THIS CARPENTER'S SON,
00:24:16.46\00:24:22.56
HE WAS DIFFERENT. EVERY
EYE WAS FASTENED ON HIM.
00:24:22.56\00:24:27.56
AND THEN HE SAYS THIS: "AND
HE BEGAN TO SAY UNTO THEM, 'THIS
00:24:27.56\00:24:33.63
DAY IS THIS SCRIPTURE FULFILLED
IN YOUR EARS.'" AND SOMEONE
00:24:33.63\00:24:40.16
PROBABLY THOUGHT,
'DID YOU HEAR THAT?
00:24:40.16\00:24:46.40
DID HE - THIS DAY IS SCRIPTURE
FULFILLED - THIS IS ABOUT THE
00:24:46.40\00:24:50.80
MESSIAH.' - "AND ALL BARE
HIM WITNESS, AND WONDERED AT THE
00:24:50.80\00:24:56.10
GRACIOUS WORDS WHICH
PROCEEDED OUT OF HIS MOUTH.
00:24:56.10\00:25:01.40
AND THEY SAID, 'IS
NOT THIS JOSEPH'S SON?'" -
00:25:01.40\00:25:04.33
ANYWAY, YOU KNOW THE REST OF
THE STORY - YOU KNOW THEY WANTED
00:25:04.33\00:25:06.40
TO THROW HIM OVER A CLIFF.
BUT TO HAVE HEARD JESUS SPEAK.
00:25:06.40\00:25:11.80
SO HERE HE IS, HE IS THE ONE
WHO, LOOKING AT CHRIST AND THE
00:25:11.80\00:25:16.00
SABBATH, HE WAS THE CREATOR.
WE DID HAVE SOME VERSES ABOUT -
00:25:16.00\00:25:21.46
I THINK I MUST HAVE
SKIPPED THEM SOMEWHERE.
00:25:21.46\00:25:24.76
WE'LL LOOK AT A
VERSE IN A MOMENT.
00:25:24.76\00:25:27.16
HERE IS THE CREATOR AND HE'S IN
THIS LITTLE SYNAGOGUE ON SABBATH
00:25:27.16\00:25:32.66
AND HE'S READING ABOUT HIMSELF.
WHAT HUMILITY AND MEEKNESS.
00:25:32.66\00:25:38.80
YOU KNOW, IF IT HAD BEEN 99,999
OTHER, YOU KNOW, RABBIS OUT
00:25:38.80\00:25:46.10
THERE, THEY WOULD HAVE PROBABLY
WANTED, YOU KNOW, THAT WERE
00:25:46.10\00:25:48.70
WANT TO OPEN THEIR TUNIC AND
LET - YOU KNOW, LIKE SUPERMAN -
00:25:48.70\00:25:54.70
BUT NOT JESUS. NO, NOT JESUS,
HE WAS JUST TOTALLY DIFFERENT.
00:25:54.70\00:26:03.10
AND IT'S A SAD THING THAT THEY
WANTED TO DO WHAT THEY DID TO
00:26:03.10\00:26:06.00
HIM, WHICH MAKES
ME WANT TO GO TO JOHN.
00:26:06.00\00:26:07.56
LET'S GO TO JOHN CHAPTER 1.
00:26:07.56\00:26:13.10
THE CREATOR - HE'S STANDING
THERE JUST IN ORDINARY GARB.
00:26:13.10\00:26:21.90
JOHN CHAPTER 1, VERSE 1, "IN THE
BEGINNING WAS THE WORD, AND THE
00:26:21.90\00:26:28.76
WORD WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD
WAS GOD. THE SAME WAS IN THE
00:26:28.76\00:26:34.06
BEGINNING WITH GOD." -
AND IT SAYS IN VERSE 3 -
00:26:34.06\00:26:36.83
"ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM;
AND WITHOUT HIM WAS NOT ANYTHING
00:26:36.83\00:26:41.60
MADE THAT WAS MADE. IN
HIM WAS LIFE; AND THE LIFE
00:26:41.60\00:26:46.73
WAS THE LIGHT OF MEN.
AND THE LIGHT SHINETH IN
00:26:46.73\00:26:50.60
DARKNESS; AND THE
DARKNESS COMPREHENDED IT NOT."
00:26:50.60\00:26:54.40
SO HERE HE STANDS AND THIS LIGHT
IS SHINING - BECAUSE MEN'S EYES
00:26:54.40\00:27:00.23
WERE SO DULL, THEY
COMPREHENDED THE LIGHT NOT.
00:27:00.23\00:27:05.66
AND IT SAYS IN VERSE 10, "HE WAS
IN THE WORLD, AND THE WORLD WAS
00:27:05.66\00:27:11.10
MADE BY HIM," - HERE HE IS AGAIN
- "AND THE WORLD KNEW HIM NOT."
00:27:11.10\00:27:17.06
- LOOK AT VERSE 11 - "HE CAME
UNTO HIS OWN," - AND WHAT DOES
00:27:17.06\00:27:20.50
IT SAY? - "AND HIS
OWN RECEIVED HIM NOT."
00:27:20.50\00:27:27.40
YOU KNOW, IT WAS WILLIAM BOOTH
WHO STARTED THE SALVATION ARMY.
00:27:27.40\00:27:37.16
HE - I THINK IT WAS IN THE EAST
END OF LONDON - AND HE WOULD
00:27:37.16\00:27:42.36
HAVE THESE PREACHING SERVICES
AND HIS HEART WOULD REJOICE AS
00:27:42.36\00:27:45.73
HE SAW PEOPLE
ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST.
00:27:45.73\00:27:48.66
BUT YOU KNOW THE
THING THAT REALLY HURT HIM?
00:27:48.66\00:27:52.00
HE REJOICED ON ONE HAND, BUT THE
THING THAT REALLY HURT HIM IS
00:27:52.00\00:27:55.40
WHEN HE SAW OTHERS TURN
AROUND AND GO OUT THE BACK DOOR.
00:27:55.40\00:27:59.76
THAT WAS THE THING - IT
WAS A BITTERSWEET EXPERIENCE.
00:27:59.76\00:28:02.96
IMAGINE WHAT IT WAS LIKE FOR
JESUS THE CREATOR - HE CREATED
00:28:02.96\00:28:06.53
EVERY SINGLE HUMAN BEING AND HE
COMES ALSO TO BE THEIR REDEEMER.
00:28:06.53\00:28:11.60
AND HE COMES AND HE SPEAKS THIS
TRUTH - HE IS THE LIGHT THAT
00:28:11.60\00:28:14.30
LIGHTS EVERY MAN - THAT COMES
INTO THE WORLD - AND HE GOES
00:28:14.30\00:28:17.50
BACK TO HIS LITTLE HOMETOWN
CHURCH AND HE SAYS, 'THIS DAY IS
00:28:17.50\00:28:21.50
THIS WORD FULFILLED IN YOUR
EARS' HOPING THAT THERE MIGHT BE
00:28:21.50\00:28:24.03
SOMEBODY THAT SAYS, 'I GET IT!
YOU'RE THE MESSIAH!' - NOT ONE.
00:28:24.03\00:28:30.43
HE HAD FEELINGS, YOU KNOW?
HOW DO YOU SUPPOSE HE FELT?
00:28:30.43\00:28:34.96
GOD GOES THROUGH A LOT OF
GRIEF - HE GOES THROUGH A LOT OF
00:28:34.96\00:28:38.16
GRIEF. WITH THESE
LITTLE THINGS DOWN
00:28:38.16\00:28:41.23
HERE WE GIVE HIM SO MUCH
GRIEF BUT, YET, HE NEVER STOPS.
00:28:41.23\00:28:45.70
JUST LIKE THE RELENTLESS TIDE
THAT KEEPS SMASHING UP AGAINST
00:28:45.70\00:28:49.03
THOSE ROCKS - DAY AFTER DAY,
YEAR AFTER YEAR, JUST SMASHING
00:28:49.03\00:28:54.93
UP AGAINST THOSE ROCKS. A
LOT OF TIMES, THOSE ROCKS,
00:28:54.93\00:28:58.80
THEY HARDLY SEEM TO DO ANYTHING,
BUT BY AND BY YOU FIND SOME
00:28:58.80\00:29:01.90
ROCKS - THEY
CRUMBLE AND THEY FALL.
00:29:01.90\00:29:05.30
AND I PRAY HERE IN THIS
SANCTUARY TODAY OR SOMEBODY
00:29:05.30\00:29:09.00
WATCHING - I HOPE YOU'RE NOT ONE
OF THOSE ROCKS WHERE JESUS, FOR
00:29:09.00\00:29:11.86
THE LONGEST TIME, HAS BEEN
SENDING IN THE FLOOD TIDE OF HIS
00:29:11.86\00:29:15.16
LOVE JUST SPLASHING ALL OVER YOU
AND HE'S TRYING TO TELL YOU THAT
00:29:15.16\00:29:19.53
HE'S YOUR SAVIOR AND YOU
NEED HIM. AND HE'S TELLING YOU,
00:29:19.53\00:29:23.03
'THIS DAY IS THIS WORD FULFILLED
IN YOUR EARS. YOU NEED ME.
00:29:23.03\00:29:26.03
I MADE YOU BUT I ALSO
REDEEMED YOU.' DON'T, DON'T,
00:29:26.03\00:29:31.96
DON'T RESIST
THOSE WAVES ANYMORE.
00:29:31.96\00:29:36.70
JUST SAY, 'LORD, JUST WASH ME
OUT AND WASH ME AWAY INTO YOUR
00:29:36.70\00:29:42.26
ARMS OF LOVE.' OH, GOD IS GOOD.
ANYWAY, JUST TO GET BACK HERE,
00:29:42.26\00:29:51.63
SO HE CAME TO PROCLAIM LIBERTY
TO THE CAPTIVES AND THE OPENING
00:29:51.63\00:29:55.46
OF THE PRISON TO THEM THAT ARE
BLIND. NOW, I WANT TO GO BACK
00:29:55.46\00:29:58.16
TO ISAIAH 61, WHICH JESUS WAS
ACTUALLY READING FROM IN LUKE
00:29:58.16\00:30:03.63
CHAPTER 4, BUT HE DIDN'T
- HE DIDN'T QUOTE ALL OF IT.
00:30:03.63\00:30:07.30
BUT I WANT TO GO BACK THERE -
ISAIAH 61 - AND I'M GOING TO -
00:30:07.30\00:30:17.76
WE'LL READ IT - IT'S
THREE VERSES AND JUST TRY AND
00:30:17.76\00:30:21.30
TAKE THIS IN. THIS IS
ALL JESUS: "THE SPIRIT
00:30:21.30\00:30:26.63
OF THE LORD GOD IS UPON ME;
BECAUSE THE LORD HATH ANOINTED
00:30:26.63\00:30:31.13
ME TO PREACH GOOD
TIDINGS UNTO THE MEEK;
00:30:31.13\00:30:34.70
HE HATH SENT ME TO BIND UP
THE BROKENHEARTED, TO PROCLAIM
00:30:34.70\00:30:39.53
LIBERTY TO THE CAPTIVES, AND THE
OPENING OF THE PRISON TO THEM
00:30:39.53\00:30:43.46
THAT ARE BOUND;" - THAT
EGYPTIAN BONDAGE, YOU SEE.
00:30:43.46\00:30:46.80
JESUS SETS YOU FREE - VERSE 2,
"TO PROCLAIM THE ACCEPTABLE YEAR
00:30:46.80\00:30:52.56
OF THE LORD, AND THE DAY OF
VENGEANCE OF OUR GOD;" - AND HE
00:30:52.56\00:30:56.30
SAYS, - "TO COMFORT ALL THAT
MOURN; TO APPOINT UNTO THEM THAT
00:30:56.30\00:31:00.96
MOURN IN ZION, TO GIVE UNTO THEM
BEAUTY FOR ASHES, THE OIL OF JOY
00:31:00.96\00:31:06.83
FOR MOURNING, THE GARMENT
OF PRAISE FOR THE SPIRIT OF
00:31:06.83\00:31:10.63
HEAVINESS; THAT THEY MIGHT BE
CALLED TREES OF RIGHTEOUSNESS,
00:31:10.63\00:31:15.03
THE PLANTING OF THE LORD,
THAT HE MIGHT BE GLORIFIED."
00:31:15.03\00:31:19.70
- ISN'T THAT BEAUTIFUL? TO
PROCLAIM LIBERTY - AND, YOU
00:31:19.70\00:31:25.16
KNOW, THE ONLY WAY THAT JESUS
CAN SET US FREE IS BY COMING IN.
00:31:25.16\00:31:36.26
AND THE ONLY WAY THAT JESUS CAN
COME IN THROUGH THAT DOOR INTO
00:31:36.26\00:31:41.66
OUR LIVES IS IF WE'RE
WILLING TO OPEN THAT DOOR.
00:31:41.66\00:31:48.76
THERE'S EGYPT AND HE CAN ONLY
OPEN THE DOOR AND LET US OUT OF
00:31:48.76\00:31:52.50
EGYPT IF WE'LL OPEN
ANOTHER DOOR AND LET HIM IN
00:31:52.50\00:31:56.30
AND THAT IS INTO THE DOOR OF OUR
HEARTS. AND WHEN THIS HAPPENS,
00:31:56.30\00:32:01.30
THEN THERE'S FREEDOM.
WE'RE NO LONGER IN BONDAGE - WE
00:32:01.30\00:32:04.30
HAVE THE NEW BIRTH EXPERIENCE.
YOU KNOW, YOU READ THE BIBLE AND
00:32:04.30\00:32:07.73
YOU READ ELLEN WHITE'S WRITINGS
- YOU KNOW WHAT IT ALL BOILS
00:32:07.73\00:32:09.83
DOWN TO SO OFTEN?
IT MEANS CONVERSION.
00:32:09.83\00:32:13.86
IT'S REALLY AS SIMPLE AS THAT
- CONVERSION - BEING BORN AGAIN.
00:32:13.86\00:32:18.93
YOU CAN'T HAVE CONVERSION -
YOU CAN'T BE BORN AGAIN UNLESS
00:32:18.93\00:32:21.20
YOU'RE WILLING
TO LAY IT ALL DOWN.
00:32:21.20\00:32:25.76
BUT IF WE WILL DO THAT,
JESUS WILL COME IN AND HE WILL
00:32:25.76\00:32:29.63
SANCTIFY IT - IT'LL BRING FORTH
THE FRUITS - THE SANCTIFYING
00:32:29.63\00:32:32.93
FRUITS OF HIS GLORY. THEN
THE SABBATH - THE SABBATH,
00:32:32.93\00:32:37.10
IN ALL ITS FULLNESS WILL BECOME
THE SIGNET - NOT JUST THE FACT
00:32:37.10\00:32:40.96
THAT HE CREATED ME, BUT ALSO
THE FACT THAT HE REDEEMED ME.
00:32:40.96\00:32:44.26
EZEKIEL 20:12 - SORRY, EZEKIEL
20, VERSE 12 - YEAH, I DID SAY
00:32:44.26\00:32:48.76
IT RIGHT. IT SAYS,
"MOREOVER ALSO I GAVE
00:32:48.76\00:32:51.23
THEM MY SABBATHS, TO BE A SIGN
BETWEEN ME AND THEM, THAT THEY
00:32:51.23\00:32:55.30
MIGHT KNOW THAT I AM THE
LORD THAT SANCTIFY THEM."
00:32:55.30\00:33:00.73
AND THOSE WHO ARE SANCTIFIED
THROUGH THE SPIRIT AND BORN
00:33:00.73\00:33:03.70
AGAIN, THEY ARE RECOGNIZED
AS THE CHILDREN OF GOD.
00:33:03.70\00:33:08.36
SO YOU CAN GO FROM A SLAVE TO
A SON. YOU CAN GO FROM A SLAVE
00:33:08.36\00:33:14.60
TO A DAUGHTER. YOU
CAN GO FROM A SLAVE IN
00:33:14.60\00:33:19.06
EGYPTIAN BONDAGE - BONDAGE
TO SIN - TO ONE WHO IS SET FREE
00:33:19.06\00:33:23.43
TO BECOME A SON
OR A DAUGHTER OF GOD.
00:33:23.43\00:33:28.06
AND THIS IS A WONDERFUL THING
- THAT GOD, THROUGH CHRIST, HAS
00:33:28.06\00:33:32.13
ALREADY ACCOMPLISHED FOR US ALL
THE GRACE - ALL THAT GRACE WAS
00:33:32.13\00:33:36.23
RELEASED THERE AT THE CROSS
AND THAT GRACE CONTINUES TO BE
00:33:36.23\00:33:40.93
RELEASED FROM THE MOST HOLY
PLACE WHERE JESUS INTERCEDES FOR
00:33:40.93\00:33:44.40
US AND IT'S JUST WAITING
- JUST WAITING IN ABUNDANCE.
00:33:44.40\00:33:48.40
I WANT TO READ FROM ROMANS 8 HOW
WE GO FROM SLAVES TO SONS AND
00:33:48.40\00:33:54.76
DAUGHTERS. ROMANS 8
- LET ME FIND IT HERE -
00:33:54.76\00:34:00.23
ROMANS 8, VERSE 9 - ROMANS 8,
VERSE 9 - IT SAYS - ACTUALLY THE
00:34:00.23\00:34:13.00
LATTER PART - IT SAYS, "BUT YE
ARE NOT IN THE FLESH, BUT IN THE
00:34:13.00\00:34:17.10
SPIRIT, IF SO BE THAT THE
SPIRIT OF GOD DWELL IN YOU.
00:34:17.10\00:34:20.86
NOW IF ANY MAN HAVE NOT THE
SPIRIT OF CHRIST, HE IS NOT OF
00:34:20.86\00:34:24.46
HIS." - IF YOU DON'T HAVE THAT
SPIRIT THROUGH THE NEW BIRTH
00:34:24.46\00:34:27.56
THEN YOU'RE NOT HIS
- YOU'RE NOT HIS CHILD.
00:34:27.56\00:34:31.10
BUT IF YOU ARE - IF YOU ARE BORN
AGAIN - IF YOU ARE CONVERTED -
00:34:31.10\00:34:34.56
ROMANS 8, VERSE 14 - IT SAYS,
"FOR AS MANY AS ARE LED BY THE
00:34:34.56\00:34:38.70
SPIRIT OF GOD, THEY ARE THE SONS
OF GOD." AND THE SABBATH IS A
00:34:38.70\00:34:42.76
SIGN OF THIS - HIS
CREATORSHIP AND HIS REDEMPTION.
00:34:42.76\00:34:47.36
THE SIGN OF OUR DELIVERANCE FROM
SPIRITUAL EGYPTIAN BONDAGE TO BE
00:34:47.36\00:34:52.90
MEN AND WOMEN IN CHRIST
JESUS WHO WAS SET FREE FROM SIN.
00:34:52.90\00:34:56.90
ANOTHER VERSE IN EZEKIEL 20 I'D
LIKE TO READ - EZEKIEL CHAPTER
00:34:56.90\00:35:04.63
20, VERSE 20 - NOW IN 12 HE SAYS
THIS - I'LL READ THIS AGAIN -
00:35:04.63\00:35:12.16
FIRST OF ALL HE SAYS, "MOREOVER
I ALSO GAVE THEM MY SABBATHS,
00:35:12.16\00:35:15.06
TO BE A SIGN BETWEEN ME AND
THEM, THAT THEY NIGHT KNOW THAT
00:35:15.06\00:35:17.76
I AM THE LORD THAT SANCTIFY
THEM." WE LOOKED AT THAT,
00:35:17.76\00:35:20.86
BUT IN VERSE 20 IT SAYS, "AND
HALLOW MY SABBATHS; AND THEY
00:35:20.86\00:35:24.30
SHALL BE A SIGN BETWEEN ME AND
YOU THAT YE MAY KNOW THAT I AM
00:35:24.30\00:35:27.90
THE LORD YOUR
GOD." WE'RE HIS CHILDREN.
00:35:27.90\00:35:31.83
PRAISE THE LORD FOR THAT.
OKAY, OUR TIME'S MOVING ON.
00:35:31.83\00:35:35.93
I WANT TO GO TO MONDAY - 'A TIME
FOR REST AND WORSHIP' - AND I'VE
00:35:35.93\00:35:44.23
ALREADY READ FROM JOHN 1 - THE
FIRST THREE VERSES AND VERSE 10
00:35:44.23\00:35:48.46
- BUT I WANT US TO LOOK
HERE IN COLOSSIANS 1, VERSE 16 -
00:35:48.46\00:35:53.53
COLOSSIANS 1:16 - SPEAKING,
AGAIN, OF JESUS THE CREATOR - IT
00:35:53.53\00:36:07.13
SAYS, "FOR BY HIM WERE ALL
THINGS CREATED, THAT ARE IN
00:36:07.13\00:36:11.20
HEAVEN, AND THAT ARE IN EARTH,
VISIBLE AND INVISIBLE, WHETHER
00:36:11.20\00:36:16.20
THEY BE THRONES, OR DOMINIONS,
OR PRINCIPALITIES, OR POWERS:
00:36:16.20\00:36:19.66
ALL THINGS WERE CREATED BY
HIM, AND FOR HIM:" - AND IN THE
00:36:19.66\00:36:23.33
LESSON IT MENTIONS THAT HE
CREATED THINGS INVISIBLE TOO.
00:36:23.33\00:36:27.43
NOW, THAT MAY MEAN, FROM AN
EARTHLY STANDPOINT, THINGS WHICH
00:36:27.43\00:36:30.80
ARE SO FAR AWAY
THEY'RE INVISIBLE TO US -
00:36:30.80\00:36:32.80
WE CAN'T SEE THEM. BUT
NOT JUST THAT, THE SABBATH -
00:36:32.80\00:36:36.70
CAN YOU
ACTUALLY SEE THE SABBATH?
00:36:36.70\00:36:39.03
NO, NO YOU
CAN'T SEE IT, CAN YOU?
00:36:39.03\00:36:41.40
YOU KNOW, SUDDENLY THE AIR
DOESN'T TURN BLUE OR PINK AND,
00:36:41.40\00:36:44.16
'OH, IT'S THE
SABBATH.' NO, WE CAN'T SEE IT.
00:36:44.16\00:36:46.93
IT'S AN INVISIBLE ENTITY.
CAN YOU SEE THE HOLY SPIRIT?
00:36:46.93\00:36:50.73
OF COURSE, CHRIST DIDN'T CREATE
THE HOLY SPIRIT, OF COURSE, BUT
00:36:50.73\00:36:54.06
THERE'S THINGS - THE SABBATH,
FOR EXAMPLE - THAT WE CANNOT
00:36:54.06\00:36:57.23
SEE, YET IT'S VERY TANGIBLE AND
IT'S VERY REAL WHEN WE HAVE THAT
00:36:57.23\00:37:02.26
SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE WITH JESUS.
HEBREWS CHAPTER 1, VERSE 2.
00:37:02.26\00:37:07.00
HEBREWS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE
BOOKS IN THE BIBLE AND HERE,
00:37:07.00\00:37:11.00
TOO, CHRIST IS BROUGHT TO LIGHT
AS THE CREATOR - HEBREWS 1 AND
00:37:11.00\00:37:16.50
VERSE 1 - IT SAYS, "GOD, WHO
AT SUNDRY TIMES AND IN DIVERSE
00:37:16.50\00:37:22.56
MANNERS SPAKE IN TIME PAST UNTO
THE FATHERS BY THE PROPHETS,
00:37:22.56\00:37:27.46
HATH IN THESE LAST DAYS SPOKEN
UNTO US BY HIS SON, WHOM HE HATH
00:37:27.46\00:37:33.00
APPOINTED HEIR OF ALL THINGS, BY
WHOM ALSO HE MADE THE WORLDS;"
00:37:33.00\00:37:39.30
- AND IN VERSE 10, AS WELL, HE
SAID, "AND, THOU, LORD," - THIS
00:37:39.30\00:37:42.06
IS GOD SPEAKING TO CHRIST AND
CALLING HIM LORD - "AND, THOU,
00:37:42.06\00:37:47.16
LORD, IN THE BEGINNING HAS LAID
THE FOUNDATION OF THE EARTH; AND
00:37:47.16\00:37:50.70
THE HEAVENS ARE THE WORKS OF
THINE HANDS:" - CAN YOU REALLY
00:37:50.70\00:37:56.60
GRASP THE ONE THAT
SPAKE AND IT WAS DONE?
00:37:56.60\00:38:02.63
COMMANDED AND IT STOOD FAST?
HE CAME DOWN HERE AND TOOK ON A
00:38:02.63\00:38:06.90
HUMAN FORM THAT
WAS SIX FOOT, MAYBE.
00:38:06.90\00:38:11.26
I DON'T KNOW - JUST A HUMAN
FORM - AND YET, IN THERE WAS THE
00:38:11.26\00:38:17.66
ETERNAL GOD OF THE UNIVERSE.
I - YOU KNOW, IN ALL ETERNITY
00:38:17.66\00:38:24.73
WE'LL NEVER
REALLY UNDERSTAND THAT.
00:38:24.73\00:38:27.33
WE'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO WRAP OUT
MINDS AROUND IT TO BE ABLE TO
00:38:27.33\00:38:32.73
CONTEMPLATE THE LENGTH AND THE
DEPTH AND THE BREADTH AND THE
00:38:32.73\00:38:36.26
HEIGHT OF THE LOVE OF GOD.
IN 'DESIRE OF AGES' IT SAYS
00:38:36.26\00:38:40.23
THERE THAT FOR JESUS TO
HAVE TAKEN ADAM'S PLACE IN HIS
00:38:40.23\00:38:45.76
UNFALLEN STATE WOULD
HAVE BEEN A - WHAT WAS IT?
00:38:45.76\00:38:49.96
- AN INFINITE HUMILIATION.
AND IT WOULD. HE IS GOD.
00:38:49.96\00:38:53.50
AND HE TOOK ADAM'S PLACE - IF
HE DID BEFORE ADAM SINNED - IT
00:38:53.50\00:38:56.80
WOULD STILL BE A SINLESS
BEING, BUT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN AN
00:38:56.80\00:38:58.73
INFINITE HUMILIATION. BUT
JESUS - JESUS TOOK ON HUMAN
00:38:58.73\00:39:06.43
FLESH AFTER 4,000 YEARS OF
SIN. YOU LOOK AT HIS GENEALOGY.
00:39:06.43\00:39:14.96
NOW IT'S TRUE HIS FATHER WAS THE
HOLY SPIRIT BUT MARY, SHE WAS OF
00:39:14.96\00:39:22.30
THE SEED OF DAVID - OTHERWISE
THE BIBLE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO
00:39:22.30\00:39:24.90
SAY THAT HE WAS OF THE SEED OF
DAVID, SO MARY HAD TO HAVE COME
00:39:24.90\00:39:28.33
FROM THE LINE OF DAVID.
JOSEPH DID, BUT HE WAS HIS LEGAL
00:39:28.33\00:39:31.00
FATHER. WE LOOK
AT THE ANCESTORS OF
00:39:31.00\00:39:33.56
JESUS AND HE TOOK UPON HIM THIS
FALLEN HUMAN FLESH AND WHAT AN
00:39:33.56\00:39:39.53
INFINITE HUMILIATION, REALLY,
BUT YET HE BORE THAT BECAUSE FOR
00:39:39.53\00:39:45.36
REASONS I DON'T FULLY UNDERSTAND
AND NEVER WILL AND I'M ASSUMING
00:39:45.36\00:39:49.33
FOR REASONS THAT YOU
DON'T FULLY UNDERSTAND.
00:39:49.33\00:39:52.30
EACH ONE OF US IS SO INFINITELY
LOVED BY GOD - AS THOUGH WE WERE
00:39:52.30\00:39:59.90
THE ONLY CREATURE THAT HE HAD
EVER CREATED THAT IF JUST ONE OF
00:39:59.90\00:40:04.50
US HAD FALLEN - WELL, YOU'VE
READ THAT STATEMENT IN 'STEPS TO
00:40:04.50\00:40:09.50
CHRIST' - THE RELATIONS BETWEEN
GOD ARE AS DISTINCT AND FULL AS
00:40:09.50\00:40:13.86
THOUGH THERE WEREN'T ANOTHER
HUMAN UPON EARTH TO SHARE HIS
00:40:13.86\00:40:16.60
WATCH CARE - NOT ANOTHER SOUL
FOR WHOM HE GAVE HIS BELOVED
00:40:16.60\00:40:20.06
SON. EVEN THE ANGELS, FOR ALL
ETERNITY - YOU KNOW THIS WILL BE
00:40:20.06\00:40:27.20
THE SCIENCE, EVEN OF THE
ANGELS, THAT GOD WAS IN CHRIST
00:40:27.20\00:40:30.53
RECONCILING THE
WORLD UNTO HIMSELF.
00:40:30.53\00:40:34.03
BUT, NONETHELESS, IN HIS
HUMANITY THE CREATOR WORSHIPED,
00:40:34.03\00:40:38.20
HIMSELF, ON THE DAY
THAT HE HAD INSTITUTED.
00:40:38.20\00:40:42.96
AND I'VE GOT MARK 4:17 DOWN HERE
BUT I'VE ALREADY READ IT SO I'M
00:40:42.96\00:40:46.33
GOING TO MOVE ON.
BUT ON MONDAY HERE, WE'RE
00:40:46.33\00:40:49.33
LOOKING AT 'A TIME FOR REST
AND WORSHIP' AND WOULD YOU AGREE
00:40:49.33\00:40:53.96
WITH ME THAT PRAISE IS
PART OF WORSHIP? YEAH, I MEAN,
00:40:53.96\00:41:02.13
WHAT IS WORSHIP IF YOU
CAN'T PRAISE GOD FOR SOMETHING?
00:41:02.13\00:41:05.13
YOU'RE SITTING HERE IN
CHURCH AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
00:41:05.13\00:41:07.23
'WELL, I'VE COME TO WORSHIP
GOD.' WELL, YOU COULD CHEER UP A
00:41:07.23\00:41:10.20
LITTLE BIT, COULDN'T YOU?
WELL, YOU KNOW, WE NEED TO
00:41:10.20\00:41:14.46
PRAISE HIM, EVEN WHEN WE
DON'T FEEL LIKE PRAISING HIM.
00:41:14.46\00:41:18.76
I'M NOT MAKING LIGHT OF THIS -
MAYBE SOME OF YOU HERE TODAY ARE
00:41:18.76\00:41:21.03
FEELING UNDER A CLOUD, SO I'M
NOT SPEAKING IN A MOCKING SENSE
00:41:21.03\00:41:26.16
HERE. BUT, YOU
KNOW, IF YOU'RE UNDER A
00:41:26.16\00:41:29.40
CLOUD IT'S ALL THE MORE
REASON TO MAKE A CHOICE AND SAY,
00:41:29.40\00:41:32.86
'LORD, OH! BUT LORD,
I'M GOING TO PRAISE YOU.'
00:41:32.86\00:41:37.26
YOU KNOW THERE'S
POWER IN PRAISE, THERE IS.
00:41:37.26\00:41:40.40
WE NEED TO PRAISE GOD.
THERE IS POWER IN PRAISE.
00:41:40.40\00:41:43.03
SO IF THERE'S SOMEBODY HERE WHO
IS LISTENING TO THIS GUY AT THE
00:41:43.03\00:41:47.33
FRONT - YOU THINK, 'OH, HE
DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HE'S TALKING
00:41:47.33\00:41:49.40
ABOUT.' TRUST ME, PRAISE GOD
WHETHER YOU FEEL LIKE IT OR NOT
00:41:49.40\00:41:54.10
BECAUSE THERE
IS POWER IN PRAISE.
00:41:54.10\00:41:56.83
SO, ALRIGHT, 'TIME
FOR REST AND WORSHIP'.
00:41:56.83\00:41:59.90
SO WE AGREE THEN, THAT
PRAISE IS PART OF WORSHIP.
00:41:59.90\00:42:05.46
WE NEED TO PRAISE GOD.
AND THAT'S ALL WELL AND GOOD.
00:42:05.46\00:42:09.53
AND, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A LOT OF
PRAISE SONGS - SOME I LIKE, SOME
00:42:09.53\00:42:13.00
I DON'T - THEY'RE JUST
MONOTONOUS AND JUST GO ON AND ON
00:42:13.00\00:42:15.80
AND ON AND ON AND ON.
BUT THERE'S SOME CONTEMPORARY
00:42:15.80\00:42:19.46
MUSIC - SOME VERY NICE
CONTEMPORARY MUSIC - PRAISE
00:42:19.46\00:42:22.46
SONGS - THAT ARE VERY,
VERY NICE. I LIKE THEM.
00:42:22.46\00:42:25.46
BUT, YOU KNOW, GETTING BACK NOW
TO THE SABBATH AND WORSHIP AND
00:42:25.46\00:42:29.20
PRAISE, OF ALL PEOPLE, THE ONES
WHO SHOULD BE ABLE TO OFFER GOD
00:42:29.20\00:42:39.10
PRAISE AND WORSHIP IN ITS
FULLEST ARE SABBATH KEEPERS.
00:42:39.10\00:42:46.56
DO YOU REALIZE THAT? I'M GOING
TO TAKE YOU TO A VERSE HERE.
00:42:46.56\00:42:52.33
I WANT TO GO TO PSALM 146 -
PSALM 146 - PSALM 146 AND WE'RE
00:42:52.33\00:43:05.20
GOING TO READ VERSE 1 AND
IT SAYS, "PRAISE YE THE LORD.
00:43:05.20\00:43:13.26
PRAISE THE LORD, O MY SOUL."
- AND VERSE 2 - "WHILE I LIVE
00:43:13.26\00:43:17.43
WILL I PRAISE THE LORD: I WILL
SING PRAISES UNTO MY GOD..."
00:43:17.43\00:43:22.70
THEN YOU GO DOWN TO VERSE 6 AND
IT SAYS, "WHICH MADE HEAVEN, AND
00:43:22.70\00:43:27.93
EARTH, THE SEA, AND ALL THAT
THEREIN IS:" - AND THEN THE LAST
00:43:27.93\00:43:32.36
VERSE IS, "THE LORD SHALL REIGN
FOR EVER, EVEN THY GOD, O ZION,
00:43:32.36\00:43:37.43
UNTO ALL GENERATIONS.
PRAISE YE THE LORD."
00:43:37.43\00:43:39.70
SO RIGHT HERE IT BEGINS WITH
PRAISE AND IT ENDS WITH PRAISE
00:43:39.70\00:43:43.16
AND PARTWAY DOWN THERE YOU'VE
GOT PRAISE AND YOU'VE GOT -
00:43:43.16\00:43:45.23
INVOLVED IN THIS IS HIM -
WORSHIP HEAVEN AND EARTH AND THE
00:43:45.23\00:43:49.43
SEA AND THAT IS THEREIN.
NOW, WE KNOW THAT THERE'S A LOT
00:43:49.43\00:43:58.23
OF PEOPLE WHO KEEP SUNDAY AND
THEY PRAISE GOD. NOW A LOT OF
00:43:58.23\00:44:00.80
THEM DON'T KNOW ANY BETTER
AND GOD ACCEPTS THEIR PRAISE.
00:44:00.80\00:44:03.83
BUT, YOU KNOW, AGAIN I WANT
TO SAY, WHO CAN REALLY OFFER GOD
00:44:03.83\00:44:09.06
THE FULLEST PRAISE BUT THOSE
CAN WHO RECOGNIZE HIM AS THEIR
00:44:09.06\00:44:14.66
CREATOR - NOT OVER LONG
DISTANCES OF TIME LIKE YOU FIND
00:44:14.66\00:44:19.20
SOME CHRISTIANS - YOU KNOW, THEY
BELIEVE IN INTELLIGENT DESIGN
00:44:19.20\00:44:21.80
AND THEY SAY, 'OH, GOD CREATED
BUT IT WAS OVER A PERIOD OF
00:44:21.80\00:44:24.46
EONS.' NO, THE BIBLE SAYS
LITERALLY SIX LITERAL 24-HOUR
00:44:24.46\00:44:29.00
DAYS. THAT'S WHAT I BELIEVE.
00:44:29.00\00:44:30.70
THAT'S THE TRUTH. AND
ANOTHER 24-HOUR DAY WHICH
00:44:30.70\00:44:33.40
WAS THE SEVENTH DAY ON WHICH HE
RESTED AND THAT WAS THE SABBATH.
00:44:33.40\00:44:36.46
SO I'M ON ABOUT THOSE
KINDS OF SABBATH KEEPERS.
00:44:36.46\00:44:39.70
THEY ARE THE ONES WHO, IN
ALL FULLNESS, CAN REALLY, REALLY
00:44:39.70\00:44:44.03
WORSHIP GOD AND REVERENCE
HIS SABBATH AND REVERENCE HIM AS
00:44:44.03\00:44:49.06
THEIR CREATOR. NOW, JOHN THE
REVELATOR SAW HUMANS IN HEAVEN
00:44:49.06\00:44:54.70
WORSHIPING GOD ON THE
BASIS OF HIS CREATORSHIP.
00:44:54.70\00:44:57.76
DID YOU KNOW THAT?
HE SAW HUMANS IN HEAVEN
00:44:57.76\00:45:00.50
WORSHIPING GOD PRAISING HIM
ON THE BASIS OF HIS CREATORSHIP.
00:45:00.50\00:45:04.43
LET'S GO TO REVELATION 4,
TALKING ABOUT THE 24 ELDERS.
00:45:04.43\00:45:10.70
REVELATION CHAPTER 4 - WE'RE
GOING TO READ VERSES 10 AND 11 -
00:45:10.70\00:45:21.80
SO HE WAS UP IN HEAVEN - HERE'S
JOHN WHILE HE SEES INTO HEAVEN -
00:45:21.80\00:45:25.50
REVELATION 4, VERSES 10 AND
11, AND AS "THE FOUR AND TWENTY
00:45:25.50\00:45:30.73
ELDERS" - I'D LOVE TO KNOW WHO
THEY WERE BUT WE DON'T KNOW YET
00:45:30.73\00:45:36.16
- "THE FOUR AND TWENTY ELDERS
FALL DOWN BEFORE HIM THAT SAT ON
00:45:36.16\00:45:41.56
THE THRONE, AND WORSHIP HIM THAT
LIVETH FOR EVER AND EVER, AND
00:45:41.56\00:45:45.83
CAST THEIR CROWNS
BEFORE THE THRONE, SAYING," -
00:45:45.83\00:45:50.06
WHAT DO THEY SAY? -
00:45:50.06\00:45:52.33
"'THOU ART WORTHY, O LORD,
TO RECEIVE GLORY AND HONOR AND
00:45:52.33\00:45:57.06
POWER: FOR THOU HAST CREATED
ALL THINGS, AND FOR THY PLEASURE
00:45:57.06\00:46:02.20
THEY ARE AND WERE CREATED.'" SO
HERE WE HAVE HERE THIS - HUMANS
00:46:02.20\00:46:09.76
IN HEAVEN PRAISING GOD -
OFFERING THE FULLEST PRAISE FROM
00:46:09.76\00:46:14.96
THE STANDPOINT THAT THEY HAD
BEEN REDEEMED FROM THE EARTH,
00:46:14.96\00:46:17.30
BUT ALSO THE FACT THAT HE
WAS THE ONE THAT CREATED THEM.
00:46:17.30\00:46:23.00
NOW, STILL IN
MONDAY, AS I MENTIONED HERE -
00:46:23.00\00:46:28.10
DID I READ THE RIGHT ONE HERE?
00:46:28.10\00:46:31.73
WE CAN BE SURE THAT THOSE 24
ELDERS UP IN HEAVEN, AS THEY'RE
00:46:31.73\00:46:36.80
PRAISING GOD, THEY DON'T SLEEP,
ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S TIME TO
00:46:36.80\00:46:42.20
WORSHIP GOD AND NEITHER SHOULD
WE - WHEN IT'S TIME TO WORSHIP
00:46:42.20\00:46:46.53
GOD ON THE SABBATH,
NEITHER SHOULD WE SLEEP.
00:46:46.53\00:46:48.56
WE DON'T NEED TO BE - WELL, I
GUESS YOU'RE ALL HERE SO I CAN'T
00:46:48.56\00:46:50.93
BROWBEAT YOU, BUT THERE MAY YET
BE SOME WHO HAVE YET TO ARRIVE
00:46:50.93\00:46:57.43
HERE THIS MORNING
TO SWELL OUR RANKS.
00:46:57.43\00:47:01.43
NOBODY SHOULD LIE IN BED ON
SABBATH MORNING UNTIL 9:00 AND
00:47:01.43\00:47:05.23
10:00 AND THEN JUMP OUT OF BED
AND, YOU KNOW, BRUSH YOUR TEETH
00:47:05.23\00:47:09.16
AND WHATEVER AND DRIVE TO
CHURCH TO GET HERE BEFORE THE
00:47:09.16\00:47:12.60
BENEDICTION AT THE
END OF THE CHURCH SERVICE.
00:47:12.60\00:47:15.66
GOD DID NOT GIVE US THE SABBATH
TO BE A DAY WHERE WE JUST LIE
00:47:15.66\00:47:19.40
AROUND. WE NEED TO GET
UP EARLY - GET UP EARLY.
00:47:19.40\00:47:25.00
OF ALL DAYS WHEN WE SHOULD BE
READY TO REST - SPIRITUALLY REST
00:47:25.00\00:47:30.66
- AND IT DOESN'T MEAN A SLEEPING
REST, IT MEANS A PAUSE - SETTING
00:47:30.66\00:47:36.26
ASIDE THAT TIME TO BE WITH GOD.
IT'S NOT SPEAKING OF - WELL, WE
00:47:36.26\00:47:41.16
PHYSICALLY REST FROM OUR USUAL
LABORS, YES, BUT IT IS A PAUSE.
00:47:41.16\00:47:45.30
IT IS PULLING AWAY FROM
THOSE THINGS AND SPENDING THAT
00:47:45.30\00:47:48.13
SPIRITUAL AND PHYSICAL TIME
WITH GOD. SO WE SHOULDN'T SPEND
00:47:48.13\00:47:53.60
THAT TIME IN BED. NOW,
I DIDN'T BRING IT WITH ME
00:47:53.60\00:47:55.63
AND I DID A COUPLE OF WEEKS
AGO, BUT IN VOLUME 6 OF THE
00:47:55.63\00:47:58.20
TESTIMONIES, THERE'S A WHOLE
SECTION THERE ON OBSERVANCE OF
00:47:58.20\00:48:01.70
THE SABBATH. I
WANT TO SAY IT AGAIN.
00:48:01.70\00:48:03.83
I MAY HAVE KIND OF GIVEN IT TO
YOU AS, PERHAPS, AN ASSIGNMENT,
00:48:03.83\00:48:07.96
BUT IF YOU HAVEN'T LOOKED AT IT
- IF YOU'VE GOT THE TESTIMONIES,
00:48:07.96\00:48:11.66
LOOK IN THERE AND YOU'LL SEE
'OBSERVANCE OF THE SABBATH' AND
00:48:11.66\00:48:14.30
IT BREAKS IT DOWN
INTO CERTAIN AREAS.
00:48:14.30\00:48:17.23
ONE IS
'PREPARATION FOR THE SABBATH'.
00:48:17.23\00:48:19.43
IT SAYS IN THERE THAT WE SHOULD,
BEFORE THE SABBATH - BEFORE THE
00:48:19.43\00:48:22.60
SUN SETS - I THINK IT SAYS ABOUT
- I MAY BE WRONG HERE, BUT I
00:48:22.60\00:48:26.30
THINK I READ TEN - FIFTEEN
MINUTES BEFORE THE SUN GOES
00:48:26.30\00:48:28.66
DOWN, WE NEED TO SIT DOWN.
WE NEED TO, IF YOU HAVE A VOICE,
00:48:28.66\00:48:34.30
SING. YOU KNOW,
HAVE YOUR BIBLE OPEN.
00:48:34.30\00:48:37.93
IF YOU'VE GOT KIDS - I KNOW IT'S
VERY EASY WHEN YOU HAVE KIDS
00:48:37.93\00:48:40.53
TO - IT'S
ALWAYS THE LAST MINUTE.
00:48:40.53\00:48:42.86
BUT TEACH YOUR CHILDREN -
THE SOONER YOU TEACH THEM AND
00:48:42.86\00:48:47.06
ESTABLISH THEM IN HOW TO REALLY
WORSHIP GOD AND HOW TO HONOR THE
00:48:47.06\00:48:50.46
SABBATH, YOU'RE GIVING
THEM A GOOD SOLID FOUNDATION.
00:48:50.46\00:48:55.03
SO I WON'T LABOR THAT POINT, BUT
DO READ THAT SECTION IN VOLUME
00:48:55.03\00:48:59.23
TESTIMONIES CHAPTER 6 - IT'S
VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY USEFUL
00:48:59.23\00:49:05.33
INFORMATION AND WE DON'T READ
THE TESTIMONIES, I DON'T THINK,
00:49:05.33\00:49:08.46
AS MUCH AS WE SHOULD. BUT
WE KNOW, AS WE'VE MADE THE
00:49:08.46\00:49:12.33
POINT HERE, THAT ONLY TRUE
SABBATH KEEPERS CAN REALLY OFFER
00:49:12.33\00:49:17.20
GOD THE FULL PRAISE AND
WORSHIP THAT HE DESERVES.
00:49:17.20\00:49:20.80
THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE TODAY
WHO ARE YET TO BE THESE SABBATH
00:49:20.80\00:49:25.90
- SEE, THESE PEOPLE WHO WORSHIP
GOD AND PRAISE HIM IN THE
00:49:25.90\00:49:28.63
FULLEST SENSE - THOSE WHO ARE
YET TO RECEIVE THE THIRD ANGEL'S
00:49:28.63\00:49:33.26
MESSAGE. I'M GOING
TO LOOK IN REVELATION
00:49:33.26\00:49:36.56
14, VERSES 6 AND 7 AND WE NOTICE
HERE THAT THERE IS THE GOSPEL,
00:49:36.56\00:49:42.53
BUT ALSO THERE IS A CALL BACK
TO WORSHIP GOD AS THE CREATOR.
00:49:42.53\00:49:47.03
SO GOD, IN THE THIRD ANGEL'S
MESSAGE, WHICH IS GOING TO THE
00:49:47.03\00:49:50.33
WORLD RIGHT NOW, IS CALLING
PEOPLE BACK TO HONOR THE SABBATH
00:49:50.33\00:49:53.50
AND BE THOSE THAT TRULY
WORSHIP HIM AND PRAISE HIM.
00:49:53.50\00:49:57.06
REVELATION 14:6, "AND I SAW
ANOTHER ANGEL FLY IN THE MIDST
00:49:57.06\00:50:02.76
OF HEAVEN, HAVING THE
EVERLASTING GOSPEL TO PREACH
00:50:02.76\00:50:05.60
UNTO THEM THAT DWELL ON THE
EARTH, AND TO EVERY NATION, AND
00:50:05.60\00:50:09.03
KINDRED, AND TONGUE, AND PEOPLE,
SAYING WITH A LOUD VOICE, FEAR
00:50:09.03\00:50:12.86
GOD, AND GIVE GLORY TO HIM;
FOR THE HOUR OF HIS JUDGMENT IS
00:50:12.86\00:50:16.60
COME: AND WORSHIP HIM THAT MADE"
- WHAT? - "HEAVEN, AND EARTH,
00:50:16.60\00:50:21.53
AND THE SEA, AND THE
FOUNTAINS OF WATERS."
00:50:21.53\00:50:24.20
SO RIGHT THERE IN THE HEART
OF THE FIRST ANGEL'S MESSAGE, IN
00:50:24.20\00:50:27.53
CONJUNCTION WITH THE EVERLASTING
GOSPEL, THERE IS A CALL TO CALL
00:50:27.53\00:50:32.20
PEOPLE BACK TO GOD AND RECOGNIZE
HIM AS THE CREATOR. AND THIS IS
00:50:32.20\00:50:37.00
TAKEN RIGHT OUT OF THE
FOURTH COMMANDMENT IN EXODUS 20.
00:50:37.00\00:50:41.70
IT'S REALLY - AND, YOU KNOW,
THERE'S ONLY ONE CHURCH ON THE
00:50:41.70\00:50:45.43
FACE OF THIS EARTH THAT
CAN PREACH THIS MESSAGE.
00:50:45.43\00:50:49.53
I SAY IT HUMBLY, BUT THE ONLY
CHURCH THAT CAN PREACH THIS IS
00:50:49.53\00:50:52.33
WHAT CHURCH?
YOU'RE SITTING IN ONE.
00:50:52.33\00:50:55.90
THE SEVENTH-DAY
ADVENTIST CHURCH.
00:50:55.90\00:50:58.66
IT SAYS HERE, 'THE HOUR OF HIS
JUDGMENT IS COME.' THERE'S ONLY
00:50:58.66\00:51:02.53
ONE DENOMINATION TEACHES WE'RE
IN THE HOUR OF GOD'S JUDGMENT
00:51:02.53\00:51:05.93
RIGHT NOW AND THAT IS THE
SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH.
00:51:05.93\00:51:10.26
THERE IS ONLY ONE CHURCH THAT IS
PREACHING THE GOSPEL ALONG WITH
00:51:10.26\00:51:15.76
THE SABBATH ON A WORLD-WIDE
BASIS. NOW YOU'LL FIND SOME
00:51:15.76\00:51:19.73
SMALLER LITTLE GROUPS
THAT KEEP THE SABBATH.
00:51:19.73\00:51:23.43
IT'S A FEW YEARS OLD NOW BUT
HAVE ANY OF YOU EVER SEEN THAT
00:51:23.43\00:51:26.50
TRACT THAT CAME FROM
THE AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY?
00:51:26.50\00:51:30.13
AND IT SHOWS - IT'S GOT LISTED
ALL - MOST OF THE CHRISTIAN
00:51:30.13\00:51:33.46
DENOMINATIONS YOU CAN THINK OF
- THE MAJOR ONES - IT'S GOT THEM
00:51:33.46\00:51:37.16
ALL. AND THEN
IT'S GOT LISTED A WHOLE
00:51:37.16\00:51:39.33
BUNCH OF COUNTRIES IN
THE WORLD JUST ONE AFTER ONE.
00:51:39.33\00:51:42.83
AND THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST
CHURCH - SMALL AS WE ARE,
00:51:42.83\00:51:47.33
RELATIVELY SPEAKING,
WE'RE IN THE MOST COUNTRIES
00:51:47.33\00:51:50.86
ACCORDING TO THE
AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY.
00:51:50.86\00:51:55.83
SO THIS ANGEL'S FLYING IN THE
MIDST OF HEAVEN ARE GOING AROUND
00:51:55.83\00:51:58.66
THE WHOLE WORLD PREACHING
THE HOUR OF GOD'S JUDGMENT AND
00:51:58.66\00:52:02.06
CALLING PEOPLE BACK
TO WORSHIP THE SABBATH.
00:52:02.06\00:52:05.30
THERE'S ONLY ONE
DENOMINATION THAT CAN FIT THERE,
00:52:05.30\00:52:07.40
THAT IS THE
SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH.
00:52:07.40\00:52:10.80
AND THERE'S ANOTHER THING,
AS WELL - I'M GETTING A BIT
00:52:10.80\00:52:12.53
SIDETRACKED BUT I'LL MENTION IT
- IN REVELATION 12:17 - ANOTHER
00:52:12.53\00:52:17.63
IDENTIFYING MARK THAT YOU'RE IN
THE RIGHT CHURCH, FRIENDS, AND
00:52:17.63\00:52:23.93
WE SHOULDN'T BE EMBARRASSED
ABOUT, YOU KNOW, ACKNOWLEDGING
00:52:23.93\00:52:28.63
THIS BECAUSE WE'RE NOT
BOASTING OF OURSELVES -
00:52:28.63\00:52:30.66
WE HAVE NO VIRTUE OURSELVES,
THE VIRTUE IS IN THE TRUTH
00:52:30.66\00:52:33.53
AND THAT TRUTH IS THERE
FOR EVERYBODY TO ACCEPT.
00:52:33.53\00:52:36.46
12:17, "AND THE DRAGON WAS WROTH
WITH THE WOMAN, AND WENT TO MAKE
00:52:36.46\00:52:39.50
WAR WITH THE REMNANT OF
HER SEED, WHICH KEEP THE
00:52:39.50\00:52:42.20
COMMANDMENTS OF GOD," - NOW
WHEN THE BIBLE SPEAKS OF THE
00:52:42.20\00:52:44.53
COMMANDMENTS OF GOD, HOW
MANY IS IT SPEAKING ABOUT? NINE?
00:52:44.53\00:52:48.70
ALL TEN, WHICH WOULD
INCLUDE THE FOURTH, RIGHT? YES.
00:52:48.70\00:52:53.00
SO HERE THIS REMNANT CHURCH IN
THE LAST DAY - KEEPING ALL TEN
00:52:53.00\00:52:56.76
COMMANDMENTS
INCLUDING THE SABBATH -
00:52:56.76\00:52:58.70
"AND HAVE THE
TESTIMONY OF JESUS CHRIST."
00:52:58.70\00:53:01.13
SO WHAT'S THE
TESTIMONY OF JESUS CHRIST?
00:53:01.13\00:53:02.96
REVELATION 19:10 -
THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY.
00:53:02.96\00:53:06.33
SO HERE GOD IS CALLING PEOPLE
IN THE WORLD TO BECOME PART OF A
00:53:06.33\00:53:11.23
BODY THAT, IN THE TRUEST SENSE,
WILL BE ABLE TO OFFER HIM THE
00:53:11.23\00:53:14.80
FULLEST WORSHIP AND THE FULLEST
PRAISE BECAUSE THEY KEEP THE
00:53:14.80\00:53:18.56
SABBATH AND THAT'S GOING TO BE
THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH
00:53:18.56\00:53:21.56
BECAUSE, AS WE JUST FOUND
OUT, THEY PREACH THE GOSPEL ON A
00:53:21.56\00:53:25.56
WORLD-WIDE BASIS, THEY PREACH
THE SABBATH, THEY PREACH THE
00:53:25.56\00:53:30.16
HOUR OF GOD'S
JUDGMENT AND, WHAT'S MORE,
00:53:30.16\00:53:31.83
THEY HAVE A PROPHET. THAT'S
A HARD ACT TO FOLLOW - AND
00:53:31.83\00:53:35.80
I DON'T WANT TO SOUND FLIPPANT.
YOU CAN FIND A FEW LITTLE
00:53:35.80\00:53:38.66
DENOMINATIONS THAT KEEP THE
SABBATH BUT THEY DON'T HAVE A
00:53:38.66\00:53:40.90
PROPHET - OR THEY MAY CLAIM TO
HAVE ONE BUT NOT A PROPHET SUCH
00:53:40.90\00:53:44.56
AS THE WAY ELLEN WHITE HAS
ESTABLISHED HERSELF AS A PROPHET
00:53:44.56\00:53:48.86
- THE MOST PROLIFIC WOMAN
WRITER IN THE UNITED STATES.
00:53:48.86\00:53:52.16
YOU MAY FIND SOME CHURCHES THAT
KEEP THE SABBATH BUT THEY DON'T
00:53:52.16\00:53:55.56
HAVE A PROPHET. BUT
HERE WE'RE SITTING IN ONE
00:53:55.56\00:53:58.53
THAT HAS ALL THE
HALLMARKS, SO ARE WE BLESSED?
00:53:58.53\00:54:03.83
YEAH, WE'RE TRULY BLESSED.
WE HAVE A LOT OF LIGHT, FRIENDS,
00:54:03.83\00:54:07.10
AN AWFUL LOT OF LIGHT. I
GOT A LITTLE SIDE-TRACKED
00:54:07.10\00:54:11.06
THERE BUT I JUST FELT I
WANTED TO SHARE THAT WITH YOU.
00:54:11.06\00:54:15.26
OUR TIME IS ABOUT GONE HERE, BUT
WHILE WE HAVE A MOMENT, I WANT
00:54:15.26\00:54:22.03
TO READ FROM THURSDAY'S SECTION
- PROBABLY CONCLUDE WITH ONE OF
00:54:22.03\00:54:28.33
THESE VERSES. THURSDAY'S
SECTION IS 'A NEW CREATION'.
00:54:28.33\00:54:34.46
AND WE'VE GOT SEVERAL VERSES
LISTED HERE, BUT I WANT TO GO TO
00:54:34.46\00:54:43.40
2 CORINTHIANS 5:17.
LET ME READ THE NOTE.
00:54:43.40\00:54:49.30
IT SAYS, "THE SABBATH NOT ONLY
REMINDS US OF GOD'S CREATIVE
00:54:49.30\00:54:51.50
ABILITY, BUT IT POINTS TO HIS
RESTORATIVE PROMISES AS WELL.
00:54:51.50\00:54:55.66
INDEED, OF EVERY HEALING OF
A PERSON ON THE SABBATH, THE
00:54:55.66\00:55:00.56
PROMISE OF ETERNAL RESTORATION
WAS POWERFULLY ENFORCED.
00:55:00.56\00:55:04.20
IN ITS OWN UNIQUE WAY, THE
SABBATH PROVIDES A VIEW THAT
00:55:04.20\00:55:06.90
REACHES BACK TO EARTH'S EARLIEST
HISTORY AND STRETCHES FORWARD
00:55:06.90\00:55:11.16
TO HUMANITY'S EVENTUAL DESTINY.
WE CAN SAY THAT THE SABBATH
00:55:11.16\00:55:16.00
POINTS BOTH TO
CREATION AND TO REDEMPTION.
00:55:16.00\00:55:19.33
AND IT DOES. AND YOU KNOW WHAT?
00:55:19.33\00:55:20.60
I'M GOING TO LEAVE THAT
ONE AND GO TO REVELATION 21.
00:55:20.60\00:55:24.06
LET'S GO TO REVELATION CHAPTER
21 AND I JUST LOVE THIS - I'M
00:55:24.06\00:55:31.73
GOING TO READ THE FIRST VERSE
AND ONE OR TWO OTHERS BESIDES.
00:55:31.73\00:55:38.03
JOHN SAYS, "AND I SAW A NEW
HEAVEN AND A NEW EARTH: FOR THE
00:55:38.03\00:55:42.20
FIRST HEAVEN AND THE FIRST EARTH
WERE PASSED AWAY; AND THERE WAS
00:55:42.20\00:55:45.73
NO MORE SEA." AND HE
SPEAKS HERE AND SAYS,
00:55:45.73\00:55:51.40
"AND I JOHN SAW THE HOLY CITY,
NEW JERUSALEM, COMING DOWN FROM
00:55:51.40\00:55:54.46
GOD OUT OF HEAVEN, PREPARED AS
A BRIDE ADORNED FOR HER HUSBAND.
00:55:54.46\00:55:59.16
AND I HEARD A GREAT VOICE OUT
OF HEAVEN SAYING, 'BEHOLD, THE
00:55:59.16\00:56:02.43
TABERNACLE OF GOD IS WITH MEN,
AND HE WILL DWELL WITH THEM, AND
00:56:02.43\00:56:06.83
THEY SHALL BE HIS PEOPLE, AND
GOD HIMSELF SHALL BE WITH THEM,
00:56:06.83\00:56:10.00
AND BE THEIR GOD." THIS
VERY EARTH WHERE GOD HAD TO
00:56:10.00\00:56:13.33
TURN HIS FACE AWAY AND
HIDE HIMSELF BECAUSE OF SIN,
00:56:13.33\00:56:17.23
THIS IS THE VERY PLANET, AFTER
REDEMPTION HAS FULFILLED ITS
00:56:17.23\00:56:21.43
PURPOSE, WHERE GOD HIMSELF IS
ACTUALLY GOING TO COME DOWN AND
00:56:21.43\00:56:24.30
LIVE HERE. AND
THIS RACE THAT HAD BEEN
00:56:24.30\00:56:28.30
PLUNGED THE DEEPEST INTO
DEBAUCHERY AND SIN, THIS IS THE
00:56:28.30\00:56:33.66
RACE THAT IS GOING TO BE
RENOVATED AND EXALTED TO A
00:56:33.66\00:56:36.76
POSITION EVEN
HIGHER THAN THE ANGELS.
00:56:36.76\00:56:40.40
I DON'T KNOW HOW GOD'S GOING
TO DO IT, BUT I ASSUME THE WHOLE
00:56:40.40\00:56:43.33
UNIVERSE ROTATES
AROUND THE THRONE OF GOD.
00:56:43.33\00:56:46.26
HE'S GOT TO DO A LITTLE
SWITCHING AROUND HERE BECAUSE
00:56:46.26\00:56:48.33
HE'S GOING TO
MOVE HIS THRONE HERE.
00:56:48.33\00:56:50.23
BUT HE HAS WAYS OF DOING THAT
WITHOUT GALAXIES STOPPING STILL
00:56:50.23\00:56:54.46
AND EVERYTHING FLYING OFF.
HE HAS HIS WAY OF DOING THAT.
00:56:54.46\00:56:57.46
LET'S NOT GET TOO TIED UP ON
THAT BUT - VERSE 5, "AND HE THAT
00:56:57.46\00:57:02.93
SAT UPON THE THRONE SAID,
'BEHOLD, I MAKE ALL THINGS NEW.
00:57:02.93\00:57:08.30
AND HE SAID UNTO ME, WRITE:
FOR THESE WORDS ARE TRUE AND
00:57:08.30\00:57:10.83
FAITHFUL. AND HE
SAID UNTO ME, IT IS DONE.
00:57:10.83\00:57:14.60
I AM ALPHA AND OMEGA,
THE BEGINNING AND THE END.
00:57:14.60\00:57:17.63
I WILL GIVE UNTO HIM THAT IS
ATHIRST OF THE FOUNTAIN OF THE
00:57:17.63\00:57:20.46
WATER OF LIFE FREELY. HE
THAT OVERCOMETH" - OR SHE
00:57:20.46\00:57:26.16
THAT OVERCOMETH - 'SHALL INHERIT
ALL THINGS; AND I WILL BE THEIR
00:57:26.16\00:57:30.43
GOD, AND THEY SHALL BE MY
CHILDREN.' AND THE SABBATH IS A
00:57:30.43\00:57:37.30
BEAUTIFUL MEMORIAL OF
THAT REDEMPTIVE - BEAUTIFUL
00:57:37.30\00:57:42.23
REDEMPTIVE ACT OF GOD ALONG WITH
THE MIRACLE OF CREATION THAT HE
00:57:42.23\00:57:49.00
BRINGS AROUND FOR US
EVERY SEVENTH DAY OF THE WEEK.
00:57:49.00\00:57:53.76
SO MAY WE ESPECIALLY REMEMBER
THESE THINGS TODAY ON WHAT DAY
00:57:53.76\00:57:57.93
BUT, PRAISE THE
LORD, THE SABBATH.
