>>WELCOME TO CENTRAL
SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH IN
00:00:45.10\00:00:48.56
SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA. WE
ARE SO THRILLED THAT YOU'RE
00:00:48.56\00:00:52.10
JOINING US TO STUDY
GOD'S WORD TOGETHER.
00:00:52.10\00:00:56.03
WE KNOW THAT WE HAVE AN EXTENDED
FAMILY THAT COVERS THIS PLANET
00:00:56.03\00:01:01.23
AND WE GET TOGETHER EVERY WEEK
AND WE LOVE TO STUDY GOD'S WORD
00:01:01.23\00:01:04.93
BECAUSE WE LOVE HIM AND
I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THE DAY
00:01:04.93\00:01:07.40
THAT'S GOING TO BE VERY SOON,
WHEN WE CAN SEE JESUS FACE TO
00:01:07.40\00:01:11.10
FACE, ALL
TOGETHER, AND BOW BEFORE HIM.
00:01:11.10\00:01:14.66
BUT UNTIL THAT DAY WE WILL
KEEP STUDYING AND WE WILL KEEP
00:01:14.66\00:01:17.16
SINGING TOGETHER.
TODAY IS NO DIFFERENT.
00:01:17.16\00:01:19.63
WE'RE GOING TO START WITH HYMN
#255 - 'I CANNOT TELL WHY.' THIS
00:01:19.63\00:01:24.66
COMES AS A REQUEST FROM JOANN
IN CANADA, ANNESSA IN DENMARK,
00:01:24.66\00:01:28.66
JEAN, MERCY, MARY AND LIZA IN
ITALY AND ANUCIA IN THE MALDIVES
00:01:28.66\00:01:34.10
AND MANY OTHER PEOPLE AROUND THE
PLANET HAVE REQUESTED #255 - 'I
00:01:34.10\00:01:38.50
CANNOT TELL WHY.' WE'RE GOING
TO DO THE FIRST, THE SECOND, AND
00:01:38.50\00:01:41.96
THE LAST VERSES.
00:01:41.96\00:01:43.66

00:01:43.66\00:01:44.46
>>I AM SO LOOKING
FORWARD TO THAT DAY WHEN WE WILL
00:05:52.73\00:05:55.16
BE WITH JESUS FACE TO FACE,
LIVING FOREVER THE WAY THAT WE
00:05:55.16\00:05:59.20
WERE ORIGINALLY
MEANT TO BE, AMEN? AMEN.
00:05:59.20\00:06:02.90
AS YOU KNOW, WE HAVE BEEN GOING
THROUGH OUR HYMNAL LEARNING ALL
00:06:02.90\00:06:06.06
THE NEW HYMNS THAT ARE
UNFAMILIAR, NEW, HAVEN'T PICKED
00:06:06.06\00:06:12.06
UP FOR A LONG TIME -
TODAY'S NO DIFFERENT.
00:06:12.06\00:06:14.40
HYMN #151 - 'JESUS WALKED THE
LONESOME VALLEY.' AND THIS DOES
00:06:14.40\00:06:19.73
COME AS A REQUEST FROM DAVE
IN INDIANA AND DARREN IN TEXAS.
00:06:19.73\00:06:24.80
SO WE ARE GOING TO SING
ALL THREE VERSES OF #151 -
00:06:24.80\00:06:28.43
'JESUS WALKED
THIS LONESOME VALLEY.'
00:06:28.43\00:06:30.96
(MUSIC)
00:06:30.96\00:06:31.86
>>LET'S PRAY.
00:08:20.90\00:08:22.46
OUR HEAVENLY FATHER, WE ARE SO
GRATEFUL THIS MORNING THAT YOU
00:08:22.46\00:08:26.20
DID WALK THAT LONESOME VALLEY BY
YOURSELF AND THAT YOU PAID THE
00:08:26.20\00:08:30.23
PRICE THAT NO ONE ELSE COULD PAY
JUST TO SAVE US. WE'RE GRATEFUL
00:08:30.23\00:08:36.80
AND BECAUSE WE ARE GRATEFUL AND
WE LOVE YOU, WE COME TO WORSHIP
00:08:36.80\00:08:40.16
YOU - TO LEARN MORE ABOUT YOU
AND YOUR LOVE FOR US THAT WE CAN
00:08:40.16\00:08:43.56
TAKE THIS LOVE TO OTHERS AROUND
US AND THAT WE CAN SHOW OTHERS
00:08:43.56\00:08:48.03
OF WHAT YOU'VE DONE FOR US
AND WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR THEM.
00:08:48.03\00:08:51.83
PLEASE BE WITH PASTOR DOUG TODAY
AS HE BRINGS US YOUR WORD, LORD.

00:09:06.80\00:09:17.73
>>MORNING. HAPPY SABBATH.
THANK YOU TO OUR MUSICIANS,
00:09:17.73\00:09:22.10
JOLYNE AND DEBBIE. THE
VIOLIN SOUNDED VERY NICE
00:09:22.10\00:09:25.50
WITH THE PIANO FOR
THOSE SONGS. HOW IS EVERYBODY?
00:09:25.50\00:09:29.40
GOOD TO BE ABLE TO BE HERE WITH
YOU AND TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD
00:09:29.40\00:09:33.13
AND I WANT TO WELCOME THOSE WHO
ARE A PART OF THE CLASS AROUND
00:09:33.13\00:09:37.20
THE COUNTRY. LAST
WEEK I WAS IN MICHIGAN FOR
00:09:37.20\00:09:40.46
THE NATIONAL ASI MEETING
AND MET A LOT OF OUR FRIENDS.
00:09:40.46\00:09:43.46
THE PROGRAM WAS IN GRAND RAPIDS,
MICHIGAN, BUT PEOPLE CAME FROM
00:09:43.46\00:09:46.13
SEVERAL STATES AROUND MICHIGAN
AND SO WE MET A LOT OF FOLKS
00:09:46.13\00:09:49.76
WHO SAID THEY TUNE IN
FOR CENTRAL STUDY HOUR.
00:09:49.76\00:09:52.46
AND I WANT TO GREET YOU AGAIN
AND TELL YOU - I PROMISED THEM
00:09:52.46\00:09:55.70
WE WOULD WAVE BACK AT THEM
NEXT TIME SO THERE YOU HAVE IT.
00:09:55.70\00:09:59.10
AND, AGAIN, WE'RE GOING
TO BE GOING THROUGH OUR STUDY
00:09:59.10\00:10:03.50
DEALING WITH THE
TEACHINGS OF JESUS.
00:10:03.50\00:10:05.03
IF IT'S OKAY, I'D LIKE TO
MAKE AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT,
00:10:05.03\00:10:09.00

00:10:13.03\00:10:15.90
A VERY SPECIAL
EVANGELISTIC PROGRAM.
00:10:15.90\00:10:18.66
SOME OF YOU KNOW, PERIODICALLY,
FROM YEAR TO YEAR, WE HAVE
00:10:18.66\00:10:22.00
SOMETHING THAT'S LIKE A
SATELLITE EVANGELISTIC PROGRAM
00:10:22.00\00:10:24.90
OR A NET PROGRAM WHERE CHURCHES
AND HOMES AROUND THE COUNTRY -
00:10:24.90\00:10:29.76
IF YOU HAVE THE INTERNET OR
YOU'RE RECEIVING THESE PROGRAMS
00:10:29.76\00:10:32.93
VIA SATELLITE,
YOU CAN PARTICIPATE.
00:10:32.93\00:10:35.50

00:10:47.56\00:10:52.36
UPLINKING FROM ALBUQUERQUE,
NEW MEXICO. THAT'LL BE A FIRST.

00:10:56.33\00:10:59.66
COMING TOGETHER AT THE MARRIOTT
PYRAMID HOTEL - THAT'S RIGHT IN
00:10:59.66\00:11:03.60
THE DOWNTOWN
AREA OF ALBUQUERQUE.
00:11:03.60\00:11:05.33
WE'RE GOING TO BE UPLINKING
ON 3ABN AND AMAZING FACTS
00:11:05.33\00:11:08.46
TELEVISION SO ANY CHURCH, IF
YOU DON'T HAVE AN EVANGELISTIC
00:11:08.46\00:11:12.30
PROGRAM PLANNED, YOU CAN DO
SOME EVANGELISM IN YOUR CHURCH
00:11:12.30\00:11:15.36
AND IN YOUR HOME
BEGINNING OCTOBER 31.
00:11:15.36\00:11:18.20
THAT'S A GOOD WAY
TO SPEND THE NIGHT.
00:11:18.20\00:11:19.86
AND IT WILL BE GOING FOR 22
PRESENTATIONS AND SO ALL YOU'VE
00:11:19.86\00:11:25.43
GOT TO DO IS GO TO
'LANDMARKSOFPROPHECY.COM' - JUST
00:11:25.43\00:11:28.53
GO 'LANDMARKSOFPROPHECY.COM' -
THERE'S INFORMATION HOW YOU CAN
00:11:28.53\00:11:31.56
DOWNLOAD THE HANDBILLS, INVITE
YOUR FRIENDS - IF YOU WANT TO
00:11:31.56\00:11:35.16
GET THE LESSONS YOU CAN, BUT
ANYONE CAN DO IT FOR VIRTUALLY
00:11:35.16\00:11:38.36
NOTHING IF YOU GET THE
INTERNET OR THE SATELLITE AND
00:11:38.36\00:11:41.13
WE ENCOURAGE YOU
TO DO EVANGELISM.
00:11:41.13\00:11:42.83
SO I MIGHT SAY MORE ABOUT THAT
LATER BUT I JUST WANTED TO PUT A
00:11:42.83\00:11:45.93
PLUG IN THERE BECAUSE WE
BELIEVE IN EVANGELISM, AMEN?
00:11:45.93\00:11:48.90
NOW TODAY'S
LESSON IS VERY IMPORTANT.
00:11:48.90\00:11:51.23
WE'RE DEALING WITH 'THE LAW
OF GOD' - IT'S LESSON #10 IN OUR
00:11:51.23\00:11:55.20
QUARTERLIES - LESSON #10 IN OUR
QUARTERLIES AND THE MEMORY VERSE
00:11:55.20\00:11:59.40
IS ONE THAT I THINK EVERYONE
KNOWS FROM JOHN 14, VERSE 15.
00:11:59.40\00:12:05.76
MATTER OF FACT, IF I STARTED
I BET YOU COULD FINISH IT -
00:12:05.76\00:12:09.16
"IF YOU LOVE ME,
KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS."
00:12:09.16\00:12:12.26
LET'S DO THAT AGAIN.
JESUS SAID, "IF YOU LOVE ME,
00:12:12.26\00:12:15.80
KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS."
THIS IS A COMMANDMENT THAT
00:12:15.80\00:12:19.23
REALLY COVERS THE ESSENCE
OF WHAT SALVATION IS ALL ABOUT.
00:12:19.23\00:12:23.96
IT ALL IS BASED
UPON A LOVE RELATIONSHIP.
00:12:23.96\00:12:27.33
JESUS SAID THE GREAT
COMMANDMENTS ARE SUMMARIZED IN
00:12:27.33\00:12:29.90
LOVE FOR GOD AND
LOVE FOR EACH OTHER.
00:12:29.90\00:12:33.13
AND SO - WE'RE BASING - THESE
STUDIES TODAY ARE BASED UPON A
00:12:33.13\00:12:36.70
NUMBER OF VERSES - OH,
YOU KNOW WHAT I FORGOT?
00:12:36.70\00:12:40.16
YEAH, I WAS SO DISTRACTED
WANTING TO TALK ABOUT THE
00:12:40.16\00:12:43.53
EVANGELISTIC PROGRAM AND
FORGOT ABOUT THE FREE OFFER.
00:12:43.53\00:12:46.30
AND THIS IS - YOU KNOW, YOU
MIGHT NORMALLY THINK THAT WHEN
00:12:46.30\00:12:48.16
WE TALK ABOUT THE LAW OF GOD WE
WOULD GIVE OUT THE AMAZING FACTS
00:12:48.16\00:12:50.70
STUDY GUIDE THAT DEALS WITH THE
SUBJECT OF 'WRITTEN IN STONE'.
00:12:50.70\00:12:54.73
ACTUALLY, WE'RE OFFERING 'A LOVE
THAT TRANSFORMS' AND THIS IS
00:12:54.73\00:12:59.10
TALKING ABOUT LIVING A GODLY,
CHRISTIAN LIFE AND REALLY HOW
00:12:59.10\00:13:03.90
THAT ALL HAPPENS.
BECAUSE OF LOVE FOR GOD,
00:13:03.90\00:13:06.46
WE LIVE OBEDIENT LIVES.
00:13:06.46\00:13:08.36
AND SO IF YOU'D LIKE A
COPY OF THE STUDY 'A LOVE THAT
00:13:08.36\00:13:11.40
TRANSFORMS' JUST CALL THE
NUMBER ON THE SCREEN AND IT'S
00:13:11.40\00:13:15.56
866-STUDY-MORE OR
YOU DIAL 866-788-3966.
00:13:15.56\00:13:21.86
WE'LL SEND THAT TO YOU FOR FREE
- 'A LOVE THAT TRANSFORMS.' READ
00:13:21.86\00:13:25.16
IT - IT'S A GREAT STUDY -
AND SHARE IT WITH SOMEBODY ELSE.
00:13:25.16\00:13:29.10
ALRIGHT, BACK TO OUR LESSON.
AND WE ALREADY WENT THROUGH THE
00:13:29.10\00:13:32.90
MEMORY VERSE. OUR
LESSON - DEALING WITH THE
00:13:32.90\00:13:37.00
TEACHINGS OF JESUS
AND THE LAW OF GOD.
00:13:37.00\00:13:39.40
NOW, THERE'S A LOT IN THE NEW
TESTAMENT ABOUT THE LAW OF GOD -
00:13:39.40\00:13:42.20
CERTAINLY A LOT IN THE OLD
TESTAMENT TALKING ABOUT THE LAW
00:13:42.20\00:13:44.76
OF GOD. WE'RE
GOING TO PRINCIPALLY BE
00:13:44.76\00:13:47.43
DEALING WITH THE PLACES
WHERE JESUS TALKS ABOUT THE LAW.
00:13:47.43\00:13:50.80
UNDER SECTION #1 JESUS
DID NOT CHANGE THE LAW.
00:13:50.80\00:13:57.86
NOW THAT SHOCKS SOME PEOPLE.
PEOPLE THINK THAT, YOU KNOW,
00:13:57.86\00:14:01.13
THERE'S THE OLD TESTAMENT
CEREMONIAL LAWS - ARE WE STILL
00:14:01.13\00:14:07.20
REQUIRED TO SACRIFICE?
YEAH, WHAT SACRIFICE THOUGH?
00:14:07.20\00:14:14.13
IT'S THE LAMB OF GOD NOW, RIGHT?
BUT NO, WE DON'T HAVE TO CARRY
00:14:14.13\00:14:18.90
OUT THE CEREMONIAL
SACRIFICES ANYMORE.
00:14:18.90\00:14:21.70
IS THE NEW TESTAMENT CLEAR THAT
LAWS REGARDING CIRCUMCISION AND
00:14:21.70\00:14:25.03
A NUMBER OF THE TEMPLE LAWS
- THAT THEY ARE NAILED TO THE
00:14:25.03\00:14:28.36
CROSS - AND THAT'S WHY THE VEIL
WAS RIPPED WHEN JESUS DIED ON
00:14:28.36\00:14:31.06
THE CROSS. THE
VEIL IN THE TEMPLE WAS
00:14:31.06\00:14:32.93
RIPPED FROM TOP TO BOTTOM.
WE'RE NOT UNDER THE SANCTUARY
00:14:32.93\00:14:37.30
ECONOMY NOW, IT IS
A SPIRITUAL SANCTUARY.
00:14:37.30\00:14:40.46
JESUS SAID, 'DESTROY THIS TEMPLE
MADE WITH HANDS AND IN THREE
00:14:40.46\00:14:43.63
DAYS I WILL MAKE ONE WITHOUT
HANDS.' AND SO CHRIST WAS
00:14:43.63\00:14:47.43
SPEAKING OF HIS BODY AND THE
CHURCH IS THE BODY OF CHRIST AND
00:14:47.43\00:14:50.46
YOU ARE NOW LIVING STONES BUILT
ON THE CORNERSTONE FOUNDATION OF
00:14:50.46\00:14:54.70
JESUS CHRIST SO ALL OF THE
CEREMONIAL LAWS HAD A SYMBOLIC
00:14:54.70\00:15:01.13
FULFILLMENT THAT IS VERY REAL
NOW, BUT JESUS DID NOT DO AWAY
00:15:01.13\00:15:06.50
WITH THE LAW OF GOD, WHICH
IS SUMMARIZED IN THE COVENANT OF
00:15:06.50\00:15:11.23
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. WE'RE NOW
LIVING UNDER THE TIME OF THE NEW
00:15:11.23\00:15:15.00
COVENANT, WHICH IS THE
SAME LAW WRITTEN IN A NEW PLACE.
00:15:15.00\00:15:20.76
HEBREWS CHAPTER 8, VERSE 10,
'A NEW COVENANT I WILL MAKE WITH
00:15:20.76\00:15:24.70
THEM...I WILL WRITE MY LAW ON
THEIR HEARTS.' SO LEST SOMEBODY
00:15:24.70\00:15:29.40
MISUNDERSTAND THIS - OH, WE'LL
JUST GET PEOPLE SET UP - WE HAVE
00:15:29.40\00:15:32.73
SOME MICROPHONES AND
IF - WHO HAS LUKE 16:17?
00:15:32.73\00:15:38.86
YOU'LL BE FIRST - WHEREVER
YOU ARE. HOLD YOUR HAND UP.
00:15:38.86\00:15:41.83
MANJEET - LET'S GET A MICROPHONE
OVER HERE FOR MANJEET.
00:15:41.83\00:15:44.80
AND I THINK THE NEXT ONE IS
GOING TO BE MATTHEW 7:12 - AND
00:15:44.80\00:15:49.16
THAT'LL BE OVER HERE.
OKAY, JOLYNE, YOU CAN TAKE THAT
00:15:49.16\00:15:51.53
MICROPHONE THERE.
DID JESUS CHANGE THE LAW?
00:15:51.53\00:15:55.73
ROMANS 10:4 - IT SAYS, "FOR
CHRIST IS THE END OF THE LAW FOR
00:15:55.73\00:16:03.30
RIGHTEOUSNESS TO EVERY ONE THAT
BELIEVETH." HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE
00:16:03.30\00:16:06.40
HEARD IT SAID BEFORE THAT JESUS
CAME TO DO AWAY WITH THE LAW?
00:16:06.40\00:16:09.96
'HE CAME TO - WE'RE NOT UNDER
THAT OLD LAW ANYMORE, WE'RE NOW
00:16:09.96\00:16:13.56
UNDER THE LAW OF LOVE.' AND THEN
THEY READ VERSES LIKE THIS HERE
00:16:13.56\00:16:16.73
IN ROMANS 10:4, 'CHRIST IS THE
END OF THE LAW - PERIOD - SO WE
00:16:16.73\00:16:21.16
DON'T HAVE LAW ANYMORE. WE
ARE NOW NOT UNDER THE LAW -
00:16:21.16\00:16:24.60
WE'RE UNDER GRACE.' BUT YOU
PLAY THAT OUT THE WAY THAT SOME
00:16:24.60\00:16:29.16
PEOPLE SAY IT AND
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
00:16:29.16\00:16:31.60
DOES THAT MEAN IT'S
OKAY, NOW, TO BREAK THE LAW?
00:16:31.60\00:16:33.83
AND I'VE BEEN IN MANY CHURCHES
WHERE I'VE HEARD SERMONS ABOUT
00:16:33.83\00:16:36.46
'WE'RE NOT UNDER THE LAW NOW,
WE'RE UNDER GRACE.' AND PEOPLE
00:16:36.46\00:16:39.23
SAY, 'AMEN.' AND YOU AND I
BELIEVE THAT TOO, DON'T WE?
00:16:39.23\00:16:42.20
RIGHTLY
UNDERSTOOD WE BELIEVE IT.
00:16:42.20\00:16:43.66
BUT DOES THAT MEAN THAT NOW THAT
WE'RE UNDER GRACE AND WE'RE NOT
00:16:43.66\00:16:47.63
UNDER THE LAW, CHRISTIANS
ARE FREE TO STEAL? NO.
00:16:47.63\00:16:52.93
DOES IT MEAN CHRISTIANS ARE FREE
TO WORSHIP OTHER GODS OR PRAY TO
00:16:52.93\00:16:55.93
IDOLS? OR USE HIS
NAME IN VAIN OR TO
00:16:55.93\00:16:58.36
COMMIT ADULTERY OR
TO KILL OR TO COVET?
00:16:58.36\00:17:01.46
IS THAT WHAT IT
MEANS? NO, OF COURSE NOT.
00:17:01.46\00:17:05.36
SO WHEN JESUS SAYS - OR PAUL,
ACTUALLY - SAYS THAT WE'RE NOT
00:17:05.36\00:17:09.50
UNDER THE LAW BUT WE'RE UNDER
GRACE AND PAUL SAYS THAT CHRIST
00:17:09.50\00:17:12.03
IS THE END OF THE LAW, DOES THAT
MEAN IT'S THE END OF THE TEN
00:17:12.03\00:17:15.90
COMMANDMENTS - THAT WE'RE NO
LONGER UNDER OBLIGATION TO KEEP
00:17:15.90\00:17:18.36
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS? YOU
THINK ABOUT WHAT THAT WOULD
00:17:18.36\00:17:21.13
MEAN AND - OBVIOUSLY NOT BECAUSE
SIN IS THE TRANSGRESSION OF THE
00:17:21.13\00:17:25.56
LAW. AND DO PEOPLE STILL SIN?
00:17:25.56\00:17:29.33
SO THEY MUST STILL BE
TRANSGRESSING THE LAW OF GOD,
00:17:29.33\00:17:31.63
RIGHT? AND THE TEN
COMMANDMENTS IS THE
00:17:31.63\00:17:34.46
CLEANEST
EXPRESSION OF GOD'S LAW.
00:17:34.46\00:17:37.06
THE FIRST FOUR COMMANDMENTS
DEAL WITH OUR LOVE FOR GOD.
00:17:37.06\00:17:39.53
THE LAST SIX COMMANDMENTS
DEAL WITH OUR LOVE AND OUR
00:17:39.53\00:17:41.50
RELATIONSHIP WITH MANKIND.
ALL OF THE LAW - THE TEN
00:17:41.50\00:17:44.53
COMMANDMENTS - IS SUMMARIZED IN
THIS LOVE RELATIONSHIP AND THIS
00:17:44.53\00:17:48.30
LOVE RELATIONSHIP. THAT
IS ETERNAL. IT IS UNCHANGING.
00:17:48.30\00:17:52.03
WHAT PAUL MEANT WHEN HE SAID
CHRIST IS THE END OF THE LAW -
00:17:52.03\00:17:54.83
YOU READ THE END OF THE VERSE.
HE IS THE END OF THE LAW FOR
00:17:54.83\00:17:57.70
RIGHTEOUSNESS TO
EVERYONE WHO BELIEVES.
00:17:57.70\00:18:01.70
SO WE DO NOT OBTAIN
RIGHTEOUSNESS BY OBEDIENCE.
00:18:01.70\00:18:07.33
IS ANYONE GOING TO BE IN HEAVEN
BECAUSE THEY WERE MADE RIGHTEOUS
00:18:07.33\00:18:11.30
BY VIRTUE OF OBEYING.
'OH, BUT WHAT ABOUT IN THE OLD
00:18:11.30\00:18:15.50
TESTAMENT, WERE THEY SAVED
BY WORKS AND NOW WE'RE SAVED BY
00:18:15.50\00:18:17.96
GRACE?' ABRAHAM
BELIEVED GOD AND IT WAS
00:18:17.96\00:18:21.53
COUNTED TO HIM
FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
00:18:21.53\00:18:23.06
ABRAHAM WAS SAVED BY FAITH AS
SURELY AS YOU AND I ARE SAVED BY
00:18:23.06\00:18:27.03
FAITH. WE ARE ALL CONDEMNED.
'THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NO NOT
00:18:27.03\00:18:31.33
ONE. WE HAVE ALL
BROKEN GOD'S LAW.
00:18:31.33\00:18:33.63
WE HAVE ALL FALLEN SHORT.'
THEM IN THE OLD TESTAMENT.
00:18:33.63\00:18:36.93
US IN THE NEW TESTAMENT TIMES.
00:18:36.93\00:18:38.46
WE ALL NEED TO
BE SAVED BY GRACE.
00:18:38.46\00:18:41.06
THEY WERE SAVED BY FAITH LOOKING
FORWARD TO THE CROSS AND SO, AS
00:18:41.06\00:18:46.06
A SIGN OF THAT THEY HAD THE
COVENANT OF CIRCUMCISION AND
00:18:46.06\00:18:49.23
THEY SACRIFICED LAMBS, ALL
LOOKING FORWARD TO THE DAY WHEN
00:18:49.23\00:18:52.73
JOHN THE BAPTIST WOULD SAY,
'BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD.' WE ARE
00:18:52.73\00:18:55.83
NOW SAVED BY FAITH AND SOMETHING
THAT WE SEE HAPPENED WHEN JESUS
00:18:55.83\00:18:59.50
DIED ON THE CROSS.
WE'RE SAVED BY FAITH LOOKING
00:18:59.50\00:19:01.70
BACK AT THE CROSS. BUT
WE'RE ALL SAVED BY FAITH IN
00:19:01.70\00:19:04.00
THE CROSS. NOBODY IS
SAVED BY RIGHTEOUSNESS.
00:19:04.00\00:19:07.26
WE ARE SAVED BY BELIEVING
IN CHRIST. ISN'T THAT RIGHT?
00:19:07.26\00:19:11.33
SO GOD'S - GOD'S METHOD OF
SAVING MAN HAS ALWAYS BEEN BY
00:19:11.33\00:19:15.53
THE VIRTUES OF CHRIST.
NOBODY'S GOING TO BE IN HEAVEN
00:19:15.53\00:19:17.93
AND YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE OLD
TESTAMENT CHRISTIANS - BELIEVERS
00:19:17.93\00:19:21.26
- WALKING UP TO NEW
TESTAMENT CHRISTIANS AND SAY,
00:19:21.26\00:19:23.60
'YOU GUYS ARE LUCKY.
YOU WERE SAVED BY FAITH.
00:19:23.60\00:19:25.50
WE HAD TO WORK OUR WAY IN.' BUT
THAT'S THE WAY IT'S PREACHED.
00:19:25.50\00:19:29.56
THERE'S TWO DISPENSATIONS AND
THERE'S ONE GROUP THAT'S GOING
00:19:29.56\00:19:32.10
TO BE IN HEAVEN, 'MOSES IS THERE
BECAUSE OF HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS.'
00:19:32.10\00:19:36.36
MOSES SINNED AND ABRAHAM SINNED
AND DAVID SINNED AND THEY WERE
00:19:36.36\00:19:44.53
ALL SAVED BY THE MERCY OF GOD.
READ PSALM 51. AND SO THAT'S A
00:19:44.53\00:19:49.03
BIG MISUNDERSTANDING.
LISTEN TO WHAT JESUS SAID IN
00:19:49.03\00:19:51.90
MATTHEW 5:17. THIS
IS A REALLY CLEAR VERSE.
00:19:51.90\00:19:55.50
"DO NOT THINK THAT I AM
COME TO DESTROY THE LAW, OR THE
00:19:55.50\00:19:59.26
PROPHETS: I AM NOT COME
TO DESTROY, BUT TO FULFIL."
00:19:59.26\00:20:03.23
MATTER OF FACT, IN LUKE
HE DOESN'T EVEN USE THAT WORD
00:20:03.23\00:20:05.23
'FULFIL' BUT SOME PEOPLE THINK
FULFILL MEANS 'TO DO AWAY WITH.'
00:20:05.23\00:20:08.53
HAVE YOU HEARD THAT?
00:20:08.53\00:20:10.23
JESUS FULFILLED THE LAW AND WHAT
THEY SAY WHEN THEY MEAN THAT -
00:20:10.23\00:20:13.80
OR WHEN THEY SAY THAT THEY
MEAN HE DID AWAY WITH THE LAW.
00:20:13.80\00:20:17.30
WELL, JESUS WAS THE FULFILLMENT
OF CERTAIN CEREMONIAL LAWS BUT
00:20:17.30\00:20:21.43
JESUS SAID, 'DO NOT THINK THAT
I CAME TO DESTROY THE LAW OR THE
00:20:21.43\00:20:23.93
PROPHETS.' HE'S TALKING ABOUT
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS BECAUSE HE
00:20:23.93\00:20:26.76
RECITES SEVERAL OF THE TEN
COMMANDMENTS IN THE FOLLOWING
00:20:26.76\00:20:29.70
VERSES IN THE SERMON ON THE
MOUNT. WHAT DOES FULFILL MEAN?
00:20:29.70\00:20:35.33
WHEN JESUS CAME TO JOHN THE
BAPTIST AND JOHN, KNOWING HE WAS
00:20:35.33\00:20:38.83
THE MESSIAH SAID, 'OH LORD,
WHY ARE YOU COMING FOR BAPTISM?
00:20:38.83\00:20:42.53
THAT REPRESENTS CLEANSING FROM
SIN AND YOU'RE THE SINLESS ONE.
00:20:42.53\00:20:45.33
YOU NEED TO BAPTIZE ME.' AND
JESUS SAID, 'NO, SUFFER IT TO BE
00:20:45.33\00:20:49.40
SO NOW, FOR THUS IT BECOMES US
TO FULFILL ALL RIGHTEOUSNESS.'
00:20:49.40\00:20:55.00
DOES THE WORD 'FULFIL'
MEAN 'TO DO AWAY WITH?'
00:20:55.00\00:20:58.40
DID JESUS COME TO
DO AWAY WITH THE LAW?
00:20:58.40\00:21:00.40
WOULD JESUS SAY TO JOHN, 'I'M
GETTING BAPTIZED TO DO AWAY WITH
00:21:00.40\00:21:04.00
ALL RIGHTEOUSNESS?'
FULFILL MEANS 'TO FILL SOMETHING
00:21:04.00\00:21:07.06
FULL.' IF I HAND YOU A PITCHER
AND SAY, 'FULFILL IT.' YOU
00:21:07.06\00:21:11.13
WOULDN'T DUMP IT
OUT, YOU'D FILL IT UP.
00:21:11.13\00:21:14.93
AND SO FULFILL MEANS
'TO COMPLETE.' JESUS CAME TO
00:21:14.93\00:21:19.00
COMPLETE ALL RIGHTEOUSNESS.
HIS LIFE WAS A PERFECT LIFE.
00:21:19.00\00:21:23.00
THAT'S WHAT
THAT'S TALKING ABOUT.
00:21:23.00\00:21:24.73
SO - LET ME FINISH READING WHAT
IT SAYS HERE IN MATTHEW 5:17,
00:21:24.73\00:21:29.40
"DO NOT THINK THAT I CAME TO
DESTROY THE LAW OR THE PROPHETS.
00:21:29.40\00:21:31.83
I DID NOT COME TO
DESTROY BUT TO FULFILL.
00:21:31.83\00:21:35.00
FOR ASSUREDLY, I SAY TO YOU,
TILL HEAVEN AND EARTH PASS AWAY,
00:21:35.00\00:21:38.73
ONE JOT OR ONE TITTLE WILL BY NO
MEANS PASS FROM THE LAW TILL ALL
00:21:38.73\00:21:42.90
IS FULFILLED." - A
JOT AND TITTLE WERE IN THE
00:21:42.90\00:21:45.13
HEBREW WRITING, SIMILAR TO OUR
LITTLE PERIOD OR THE CROSSING OF
00:21:45.13\00:21:49.36
A 'T' - THE SMALLEST CHARACTERS.
HE'S SAYING, 'EVEN THE SMALLEST
00:21:49.36\00:21:52.50
CHARACTER OF THE LAW - THE
PUNCTUATION WILL NOT CHANGE TILL
00:21:52.50\00:21:56.00
ALL IS FULFILLED
OR KEPT OR FILLED UP.
00:21:56.00\00:22:01.30
AND THEN HE GOES ON AND SAYS,
"WHOEVER THEREFORE BREAKS ONE OF
00:22:01.30\00:22:04.96
THE LEAST OF THESE COMMANDMENTS,
AND TEACHES MEN SO, SHALL BE
00:22:04.96\00:22:09.16
CALLED LEAST" - AND THAT WORD
'CALL' THERE MEANS 'SPOKEN OF;
00:22:09.16\00:22:12.03
AS' - HE WILL BE SPOKEN OF
AS LEAST "IN THE KINGDOM OF
00:22:12.03\00:22:15.63
HEAVEN;" - THEY'RE NOT THERE
BUT THE PEOPLE IN THE KINGDOM OF
00:22:15.63\00:22:18.63
HEAVEN SPEAK OF THEM
AS LEAST. YOU GOT THAT?
00:22:18.63\00:22:22.23
IT'S NOT SAYING THEY'LL BE
IN HEAVEN, THEY'LL JUST HAVE A
00:22:22.23\00:22:23.76
LOWER POSITION; IT MEANS THOSE
IN THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN SPEAK
00:22:23.76\00:22:26.73
OF THEM AS THE LOWEST.
WHOEVER DOES - WHOEVER BREAKS
00:22:26.73\00:22:30.70
THE LAW AND TEACHES OTHERS
TO BREAK - ISN'T THAT WHAT THE
00:22:30.70\00:22:33.23
DEVIL DOES? TEACHES
PEOPLE TO BREAK THE LAW?
00:22:33.23\00:22:36.53
WHOEVER DOES THAT IS SPOKEN OF
AS THE LEAST IN THE KINGDOM OF
00:22:36.53\00:22:40.23
HEAVEN. "BUT
WHOEVER DOES AND TEACHES
00:22:40.23\00:22:43.86
THEM, HE SHALL BE CALLED
GREAT IN THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN."
00:22:43.86\00:22:46.96
SO IF THIS MORNING YOU THINK
PASTOR DOUG'S BEING LEGALISTIC
00:22:46.96\00:22:49.93
BECAUSE I BELIEVE IN
DOING AND TEACHING THE LAW.
00:22:49.93\00:22:52.13
ACCORDING TO JESUS, THEY ARE
SPOKEN OF AS THE GREATEST IN THE
00:22:52.13\00:22:54.80
KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. HE
WANTS YOU TO BE A DOER AND A
00:22:54.80\00:22:58.13
TEACHER OF THE LAW
- AND THAT'S GREAT.
00:22:58.13\00:23:01.53
ALRIGHT, GO AHEAD, WE'RE
GOING TO READ LUKE 16:17.
00:23:01.53\00:23:05.56
MANJEET, I THINK
WE'RE READY FOR THAT.
00:23:05.56\00:23:07.50
>>LUKE 16:17, "AND IT IS EASIER
FOR HEAVEN AND EARTH TO PASS
00:23:07.50\00:23:13.23
AWAY THAN FOR ONE
TITTLE OF THE LAW TO FAIL."
00:23:13.23\00:23:18.73
>>YOU KNOW ONE REASON GOD SAID
IT'S EASIER FOR HEAVEN AND EARTH
00:23:18.73\00:23:21.80
TO PASS AWAY? FIRST OF
ALL, WHAT DID GOD WRITE
00:23:21.80\00:23:25.23
THE TEN
COMMANDMENT LAW ON? STONE.
00:23:25.23\00:23:28.83
DO YOU WRITE ANYTHING ON STONE
IF YOU WANT IT TO BE TEMPORARY?
00:23:28.83\00:23:32.66
HE WROTE IT ON STONE.
AND THEN WHERE WAS IT PLACED?
00:23:32.66\00:23:37.00
THE TEN
COMMANDMENTS WERE PLACED WHERE?
00:23:37.00\00:23:39.50
IN THE ARK OF THE COVENANT.
WHEN YOU READ IN REVELATION AND
00:23:39.50\00:23:44.26
IT SAYS - AND I THINK IT'S - IS
IT CHAPTER 11, VERSE 19, "THEN
00:23:44.26\00:23:48.06
THE TEMPLE OF GOD WAS OPENED
IN HEAVEN, AND THE ARK OF HIS
00:23:48.06\00:23:51.10
COVENANT WAS
SEEN IN HIS TEMPLE."
00:23:51.10\00:23:52.46
TEMPLE OF GOD OPENED IN
HEAVEN - ARK OF THE COVENANT -
00:23:52.46\00:23:54.66
WHAT'S IN THE ARK? TEN
COMMANDMENTS - SO FOR YOU TO
00:23:54.66\00:23:57.73
DO AWAY WITH THE LAW OF GOD,
YOU HAVE TO DO AWAY WITH HEAVEN
00:23:57.73\00:24:02.10
BECAUSE GOD HAS A COPY THERE.
SOME PEOPLE ARGUE THAT THE
00:24:02.10\00:24:05.73
ORIGINAL IS THERE BUT
I THINK IT'S A DUPLICATE.
00:24:05.73\00:24:08.76
I WON'T GO INTO THAT -
OH, MAYBE A LITTLE BIT.
00:24:08.76\00:24:11.06
WHEN MOSES BROUGHT THE TEN
COMMANDMENTS DOWN, HOW MANY
00:24:11.06\00:24:14.66
TABLES WERE THERE? TWO. HOW
MANY SIDES WERE THEY WRITTEN ON?
00:24:14.66\00:24:21.16
BOTH SIDES - IT SAYS, 'WRITTEN
ON THE FRONT AND THE BACK' -
00:24:21.16\00:24:24.40
TWO TABLES. THAT
COULD MEAN TWO COPIES.
00:24:24.40\00:24:27.63
WHEN YOU MAKE A CONTRACT, HOW
MANY COPIES ARE THERE - IF YOU
00:24:27.63\00:24:29.43
MAKE A COVENANT WITH
SOMEBODY? ONE FOR YOU.
00:24:29.43\00:24:31.70
ONE FOR THEM. ONE ON
EARTH. ONE IN HEAVEN.
00:24:31.70\00:24:35.23
SO HIDDEN SOMEWHERE IN JERUSALEM
IS THE ARK OF THE COVENANT.
00:24:35.23\00:24:38.66
I THINK THE TWO
TABLES ARE IN THERE.
00:24:38.66\00:24:40.53
I THINK THAT
GOD MAY HAVE A COPY.
00:24:40.53\00:24:43.73
I DON'T KNOW BUT I THINK
THERE'S A COPY IN HEAVEN.
00:24:43.73\00:24:46.23
BUT SOMEWHERE HIDDEN IN A CAVE
IN JERUSALEM, I THINK, IS THE
00:24:46.23\00:24:48.96
ARK OF THE COVENANT. BUT IN
REVELATION IT APPEARS IN HEAVEN.
00:24:48.96\00:24:52.53
SOME HAVE WONDERED, IN THE SAME
WAY THAT GOD TOOK THE TREE OF
00:24:52.53\00:24:55.16
LIFE TO HEAVEN BEFORE THE
FLOOD - BECAUSE IT'S IN THE NEW
00:24:55.16\00:24:57.43
JERUSALEM, RIGHT? MAYBE
HE TOOK THE ARK UP BEFORE
00:24:57.43\00:25:01.13
JERUSALEM WAS DESTROYED. I
WAS JUST TELLING YOU WHAT SOME
00:25:01.13\00:25:04.23
OF THE THEORIES ARE. I
THINK IT'S STILL HIDDEN IN A
00:25:04.23\00:25:06.33
CAVE OVER THERE.
ALRIGHT, THAT WAS TOO MUCH
00:25:06.33\00:25:10.10
INFORMATION. MALACHI
3:6 - DOES GOD CHANGE?
00:25:10.10\00:25:15.26
"FOR I AM THE LORD, I DO NOT
CHANGE;" - HEBREWS 13:8, "JESUS
00:25:15.26\00:25:20.36
CHRIST IS THE SAME
YESTERDAY, TODAY, AND FOREVER."
00:25:20.36\00:25:23.03
AND, BY THE WAY, WHO
IS THE ONE WHO DELIVERED
00:25:23.03\00:25:24.80
THE TEN
COMMANDMENTS TO HUMANITY?
00:25:24.80\00:25:27.60
WHO WAS UP THERE ON
THE MOUNTAIN WITH MOSES?
00:25:27.60\00:25:30.06
'ALL THINGS' - THE BIBLE SAYS,
'ALL THINGS THAT WERE MADE WERE
00:25:30.06\00:25:33.43
MADE BY HIM AND WITHOUT HIM
WAS NOT ANYTHING MADE THAT WAS
00:25:33.43\00:25:36.56
MADE.' AND SO, WHEN IT SAYS
THE LORD HEWED THESE STONES AND
00:25:36.56\00:25:40.20
WROTE WITH HIS FINGER, ALL
THINGS THAT WERE MADE WERE MADE
00:25:40.20\00:25:43.50
BY HIM. WHO WROTE
THAT LAW? IT'S JESUS' LAW.
00:25:43.50\00:25:47.96
JESUS DOESN'T HAVE A
DIFFERENT LAW FROM THE FATHER.
00:25:47.96\00:25:50.36
I JUST - PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT
THINK THERE'S ONE GOD IN THE OLD
00:25:50.36\00:25:52.70
TESTAMENT AND JESUS IS VERY
DIFFERENT FROM THE GOD OF THE
00:25:52.70\00:25:55.23
OLD TESTAMENT AND THE FATHER IS
A TYRANT AND HE'S CRUEL IN THE
00:25:55.23\00:25:58.06
OLD TESTAMENT AND JESUS IS
LOVING. AND JESUS CAME TO TRY
00:25:58.06\00:26:01.50
TO SAVE US FROM THE WRATH OF THE
FATHER THAT WANT TO DESTROY US.
00:26:01.50\00:26:04.33
PEOPLE HAVE THIS PICTURE IN
THEIR MIND AND THEY FORGET THAT
00:26:04.33\00:26:06.63
JESUS SAID, 'MY FATHER HIMSELF
LOVES YOU.' AND JESUS SAID, 'FOR
00:26:06.63\00:26:11.56
GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD' - THE
FATHER - 'THAT HE GAVE' - THE
00:26:11.56\00:26:14.23
SON. SO WHO'S GIVING
MORE? WHAT WOULD HURT MORE?
00:26:14.23\00:26:19.86
SO THIS IDEA THAT THEY'RE TWO
DIFFERENT GODS - BUT PEOPLE HAVE
00:26:19.86\00:26:22.36
THAT PICTURE IN THEIR MIND THAT
JESUS IS TRYING TO SAVE US FROM
00:26:22.36\00:26:25.20
THE WRATH OF THE FATHER AND IT'S
THE FATHER WHO'S THE LAW GIVER
00:26:25.20\00:26:28.96
AND JESUS WHO'S THE GRACE
GIVER. NO, THEY'RE THE SAME GOD.
00:26:28.96\00:26:33.36
'HEAR, O ISRAEL, THE LORD OUR
GOD IS ONE GOD.' IT'S NOT TWO
00:26:33.36\00:26:36.80
DIFFERENT GODS. THAT
LAW IS THE LAW OF JESUS.
00:26:36.80\00:26:41.00
ALRIGHT, LET'S GO
TO THE NEXT SECTION.
00:26:41.00\00:26:42.40
'JESUS DEEPENED THE MEANING OF
THE LAW.' ALRIGHT, ISAIAH 42:21
00:26:42.40\00:26:48.16
- THIS IS A PROPHECY ABOUT THE
COMING MESSIAH AND IT SAYS, "THE
00:26:48.16\00:26:52.40
LORD IS WELL PLEASED FOR
HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS' SAKE; HE WILL
00:26:52.40\00:26:56.56
MAGNIFY THE LAW
AND MAKE IT HONORABLE."
00:26:56.56\00:27:00.66
SO WHAT WOULD THE MESSIAH
DO WITH THE LAW? MAGNIFY.
00:27:00.66\00:27:04.50
WHEN YOU MAGNIFY
YOU SHRINK, RIGHT?
00:27:04.50\00:27:08.36
YOU HAVE A SHRINKING RAY
GUN AND YOU MAKE IT SMALLER.
00:27:08.36\00:27:10.86
NO, MAGNIFY DOES WHAT?
IT BLOWS IT UP. IT ENLARGES.
00:27:10.86\00:27:16.53
SO WHEN JESUS CAME IN HIS
TEACHING, DID HE DETRACT FROM
00:27:16.53\00:27:19.66
THE LAW OR DID HE MAGNIFY THE
LAW? WHY WOULD HE MAGNIFY THE
00:27:19.66\00:27:23.93
LAW? BECAUSE HE WAS A
LEGALIST? LET ME EXPLAIN.
00:27:23.93\00:27:29.00
WHEN YOU MAGNIFY THE LAW, YOU
MAGNIFY THE LORD BECAUSE THE LAW
00:27:29.00\00:27:34.96
OF GOD IS A PERFECT
EXPRESSION OF THE LORD.
00:27:34.96\00:27:39.76
THE LAW IS A
REFLECTION OF HIS CHARACTER.
00:27:39.76\00:27:42.53
NOW I'LL TRY TO
INCLUDE THIS WITH MY NOTES.
00:27:42.53\00:27:45.53
I DON'T KNOW IF DIANNE IS
LISTENING IN THE STUDIO BUT SHE
00:27:45.53\00:27:48.13
ALWAYS REMINDS ME
TO PUT MY NOTES ONLINE.
00:27:48.13\00:27:50.10
DON'T LET ME FORGET TO ALSO
PUT THIS SPECIAL STUDY ONLINE.
00:27:50.10\00:27:52.86
I DIDN'T WRITE THIS.
I DON'T KNOW WHO DID.
00:27:52.86\00:27:55.26
IT'S JUST ON THE
INTERNET STANDING ALONE.
00:27:55.26\00:27:59.40
THERE'S NO NAME ON IT BUT IT'S A
GREAT STUDY I'VE USED BEFORE AND
00:27:59.40\00:28:04.16
IT SIMPLY HAS DIFFERENT
ATTRIBUTES AND IT SHOWS
00:28:04.16\00:28:08.43
SCRIPTURE WHERE YOU FIND THESE
ARE THE ATTRIBUTES OF GOD'S
00:28:08.43\00:28:12.26
CHARACTER AND THEN YOU FIND THE
SAME SCRIPTURES THAT SAY THEY
00:28:12.26\00:28:15.96
ARE ATTRIBUTES OF THE
LAW - OR SIMILAR SCRIPTURES.
00:28:15.96\00:28:19.46
FOR INSTANCE, THE
BIBLE SAYS THAT GOD IS LOVE.
00:28:19.46\00:28:23.10
ISN'T THAT RIGHT? WE ALL KNOW
THAT. 1 JOHN 4:8, 1 JOHN 4:16.
00:28:23.10\00:28:27.93
THE BIBLE SAYS THE
TEN COMMANDMENTS IS LOVE -
00:28:27.93\00:28:31.43
ROMANS 3:8-10 - GALATIANS 5:14.
00:28:31.43\00:28:34.66
THE BIBLE SAYS GOD IS PERFECT
MATTHEW 5:48 - IT ALSO SAYS HIS
00:28:34.66\00:28:40.00
LAW IS PERFECT - JAMES 1:25;
PSALM 19:7, "THE LAW OF THE LORD
00:28:40.00\00:28:45.26
IS PERFECT, CONVERTING
THE SOUL." THE BIBLE SAYS,
00:28:45.26\00:28:48.03
'GOD IS HOLY.' I WON'T
GIVE YOU ALL THE SCRIPTURES.
00:28:48.03\00:28:51.63
YOU'LL HAVE TO DOWNLOAD
THIS BECAUSE THAT'S A LOT OF
00:28:51.63\00:28:53.86
SCRIPTURES - WE'LL BE HERE
FOR AWHILE - WON'T GET INTO THE
00:28:53.86\00:28:55.86
LESSON. LET ME JUST GO THROUGH
WHAT THE CHARACTERISTICS ARE.
00:28:55.86\00:28:58.76
IT SAYS GOD IS
HOLY; HIS LAW IS HOLY.
00:28:58.76\00:29:02.10
GOD IS ETERNAL;
HIS LAW IS ETERNAL.
00:29:02.10\00:29:04.10
GOD IS TRUTH; HIS LAW IS TRUTH.
GOD IS PURE; THE LAW IS PURE.
00:29:04.10\00:29:08.30
GOD IS GOOD; THE LAW
IS GOOD. GOD IS SPIRITUAL;
00:29:08.30\00:29:10.73
THE LAW IS SPIRITUAL.
GOD IS JUST; THE LAW IS JUST.
00:29:10.73\00:29:13.10
GOD IS FAITHFUL;
THE LAW IS FAITHFUL.
00:29:13.10\00:29:15.63
THEY'RE BOTH
LIGHT. THEY'RE BOTH LIFE.
00:29:15.63\00:29:18.13
THEY'RE BOTH
RIGHTEOUS. THEY'RE BOTH TRUE.
00:29:18.13\00:29:19.76
THEY'RE BOTH PEACE.
THEY'RE BOTH HONORABLE.
00:29:19.76\00:29:21.40
THEY'RE BOTH GREAT.
THEY'RE BOTH WONDERFUL.
00:29:21.40\00:29:22.70
THEY'RE BOTH THE
WAY. THEY'RE BOTH SURE.
00:29:22.70\00:29:24.10
THEY'RE
UNCHANGING. THEY'RE WISE.
00:29:24.10\00:29:25.33
THEY'RE
ENLIGHTENED. THEY'RE BLESSED.
00:29:25.33\00:29:27.16
THEY'RE HAPPY. THEY'RE MERCIFUL.
00:29:27.16\00:29:28.23
THEY'RE
UNDERSTANDING. THEY'RE DELIGHT.
00:29:28.23\00:29:29.96
THEY'RE LIBERTY.
THEY'RE KNOWLEDGE.
00:29:29.96\00:29:31.26
THEY'RE HOPE.
THEY'RE OUR MEDITATION.
00:29:31.26\00:29:33.33
EVERYTHING THE BIBLE SAYS ABOUT
GOD IT ALSO SAYS ABOUT THE LAW.
00:29:33.33\00:29:37.16
SO WHEN PEOPLE DIMINISH THE
LAW WHO ARE THEY DIMINISHING?
00:29:37.16\00:29:42.46
THEY'RE DIMINISHING GOD.
ANOTHER REASON IT'S IMPORTANT TO
00:29:42.46\00:29:45.26
MAGNIFY THE LAW -
THIS IS WHY JESUS CAME.
00:29:45.26\00:29:47.93
HE WAS THE EMBODIMENT OF
THE LAW. HE LIVED THE LAW.
00:29:47.93\00:29:50.80
HE SAYS, 'I HAVE KEPT
MY FATHER'S COMMANDMENTS -
00:29:50.80\00:29:52.73
WHAT HE SAID? - SOME
PEOPLE SAY, 'DIDN'T JESUS
00:29:52.73\00:29:55.50
SIN BECAUSE HE
BROKE THE SABBATH?
00:29:55.50\00:29:57.83
NO, JOHN IS SAYING THE PHARISEES
ACCUSED HIM OF BREAKING THEIR
00:29:57.83\00:30:01.16
SABBATICAL LAWS - THEY
WEREN'T FLAWS IN THE BIBLE.
00:30:01.16\00:30:04.76
JESUS WAS ALSO ACCUSED BY THE
PHARISEES OF BEING A GLUTTON.
00:30:04.76\00:30:07.96
WAS HE? HE WAS
ACCUSED OF BEING A SAMARITAN.
00:30:07.96\00:30:10.33
HE WAS ACCUSED
OF HAVING A DEMON.
00:30:10.33\00:30:11.73
THEY ACCUSED HIM OF
ALL KINDS OF THINGS.
00:30:11.73\00:30:13.40
JESUS NEVER SINNED. HE
IS THE SINLESS ONE, AMEN?
00:30:13.40\00:30:16.63
AND SO HE CAME TO MAGNIFY
THE LAW. NOW, WHAT IS SIN?
00:30:16.63\00:30:25.16
SIN IS THE TRANSGRESSION OF
THE LAW - THAT'S THE MOST CLEAR
00:30:25.16\00:30:27.90
BIBLE - IT'S ALMOST
LIKE A DICTIONARY DEFINITION.
00:30:27.90\00:30:31.03
WHY DID JESUS DIE?
00:30:31.03\00:30:35.46
ANGEL TOLD MARY, 'YOU'LL CALL
HIS NAME JESUS FOR HE WILL SAVE
00:30:35.46\00:30:38.63
PEOPLE FROM THEIR SIN.' IF YOU
DON'T HAVE A LAW - PAUL SAYS,
00:30:38.63\00:30:44.36
'WHERE THERE IS NO LAW THERE IS
NO SIN.' DOESN'T HE SAY THAT -
00:30:44.36\00:30:47.26
ROMANS? SO IF YOU HAVE NO
LAW YOU HAVE WHAT? NO SIN.
00:30:47.26\00:30:51.93
IF YOU HAVE NO
SIN, WHO NEEDS A SAVIOR?
00:30:51.93\00:30:56.46
WHEN YOU MAGNIFY THE LAW, WE
LOOK IN THE PERFECT LAW LIKE A
00:30:56.46\00:31:01.13
MIRROR, WE SEE OUR SIN, WE
REALIZE OUR NEED OF THE SAVIOR,
00:31:01.13\00:31:04.40
WE RUN TO JESUS. THE
DEVIL HATES THE LAW BECAUSE
00:31:04.40\00:31:07.33
WHERE THERE'S NO LAW THERE'S
NO SIN - NO SIN, YOU DON'T NEED
00:31:07.33\00:31:09.63
JESUS. YOU GOT THAT?
00:31:09.63\00:31:12.00
SO HE'S ALWAYS
ATTACKING THE LAW.
00:31:12.00\00:31:13.70
HE'S DIMINISHING THE LAW -
EVEN IN CHRISTIAN CHURCHES.
00:31:13.70\00:31:16.86
AND SO THEY BECOME SOME OTHER
KIND OF CHURCH WHERE THEY GET
00:31:16.86\00:31:19.10
TOGETHER FOR ALL KINDS OF OTHER
SOCIAL REASONS AND HAVE SOME
00:31:19.10\00:31:22.46
KIND OF COUNTERFEIT
CONCEPT OF WHAT SALVATION IS.
00:31:22.46\00:31:25.16
BUT IF YOU REALLY LOVE THE LORD,
YOU WILL LOVE HIS LAW BECAUSE
00:31:25.16\00:31:28.46
THEY'RE ONE AND THE SAME.
HOW CAN YOU SAY YOU LOVE JESUS
00:31:28.46\00:31:31.20
AND YOU LOVE
MURDER AT THE SAME TIME?
00:31:31.20\00:31:35.60
YOU KNOW, YOU JUST GO
THROUGH THE COMMANDMENTS.
00:31:35.60\00:31:37.30
HOW CAN YOU SAY YOU LOVE JESUS
AND THEN YOU ABUSE HIS NAME?
00:31:37.30\00:31:42.46
OF COURSE, IF YOU LOVE THE LORD
YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE HIS LAW.
00:31:42.46\00:31:46.13
ALRIGHT, KEEP GOING.
00:31:46.13\00:31:48.10
'JESUS DEEPENED THE MEANING
OF THE LAW.' 2 CORINTHIANS 3:5,
00:31:48.10\00:31:54.33
"NOT THAT WE ARE SUFFICIENT OF
OURSELVES TO THINK OF ANYTHING
00:31:54.33\00:31:58.06
AS BEING FROM OURSELVES, BUT
OUR SUFFICIENCY IS FROM GOD, WHO
00:31:58.06\00:32:01.46
ALSO MADE US SUFFICIENT AS
MINISTERS OF THE NEW COVENANT,
00:32:01.46\00:32:05.26
NOT OF THE LETTER BUT OF THE
SPIRIT; FOR THE LETTER KILLS,
00:32:05.26\00:32:09.70
BUT THE SPIRIT GIVES LIFE."
NOW WHAT IS PAUL TALKING ABOUT?
00:32:09.70\00:32:13.43
JESUS CAME TO MAGNIFY THE LAW,
ESPECIALLY SHOWING THE SPIRIT OF
00:32:13.43\00:32:19.13
THE LAW WHERE THE PHARISEES
WERE EMPHASIZING THE LETTER.
00:32:19.13\00:32:23.20
LET ME GIVE YOU
AN EXAMPLE OF THAT.
00:32:23.20\00:32:25.50
MATTHEW 5:21 AND 22 - RED LETTER
- JESUS IS SPEAKING - "YOU HAVE
00:32:25.50\00:32:30.73
HEARD THAT IT WAS SAID TO THOSE
OF OLD," - FROM A LONG TIME AGO
00:32:30.73\00:32:34.30
- "'YOU SHALL NOT MURDER.'" -
NOW WHERE DOES THAT COME FROM?
00:32:34.30\00:32:38.20
TEN COMMANDMENTS.
NOTICE JESUS DOESN'T SAY
00:32:38.20\00:32:40.43
'DO NOT KILL.'
BECAUSE THE HEBREW
00:32:40.43\00:32:42.20
ACTUALLY SAYS, 'DO NOT MURDER.'
IF YOU PLUCK A WEED, YOU'RE
00:32:42.20\00:32:45.30
KILLING, TECHNICALLY,
BUT THAT'S NOT BREAKING
00:32:45.30\00:32:46.93
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. IF
YOU SQUASH A MOSQUITO, YOU'RE
00:32:46.93\00:32:49.03
KILLING, BUT IT'S NOT
MURDER. MURDER'S DIFFERENT.
00:32:49.03\00:32:51.60
MURDER IS THE TAKING OF ONE
HUMAN OF ANOTHER HUMAN INNOCENT
00:32:51.60\00:32:57.16
LIFE. WHEN
POLICE SHOOT SOMEONE IN
00:32:57.16\00:33:01.33
SELF DEFENSE THAT'S NOT MURDER.
WHEN A SOLDIER FIGHTS AN ENEMY,
00:33:01.33\00:33:06.90
DO WE CALL THEM MURDERERS? NO.
PEOPLE HAVE MISUNDERSTOOD THAT
00:33:06.90\00:33:10.70
COMMANDMENT. THEY
SAY, 'WHY DOES GOD SAY
00:33:10.70\00:33:12.13
'DON'T KILL.' AND THEN HE
SENDS DAVID OUT TO KILL GOLIATH.
00:33:12.13\00:33:15.56
THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.' WELL,
IT'S NOT MURDER FOR SOLDIERS.
00:33:15.56\00:33:19.46
MURDER IS A TAKING OF INNOCENT
HUMAN LIFE.' SO JESUS QUOTES IT
00:33:19.46\00:33:23.06
THE CORRECT WAY HERE IN THE
NEW TESTAMENT. HE SAID, 'YOU'VE
00:33:23.06\00:33:25.96
HEARD IT SAID BY THEM OF
OLD, 'YOU SHALL NOT MURDER.' AND
00:33:25.96\00:33:28.63
WHOEVER MURDERS WILL BE
IN DANGER OF THE JUDGMENT.
00:33:28.63\00:33:31.40
BUT I SAY TO YOU, 'WHOEVER IS
ANGRY WITH HIS BROTHER WITHOUT A
00:33:31.40\00:33:35.16
CAUSE WILL BE IN
DANGER OF THE JUDGEMENT.
00:33:35.16\00:33:37.60
AND WHOEVER SAYS
'RACA!' - OR 'YOU FOOL!'
00:33:37.60\00:33:39.56
- SHALL BE IN DANGER OF
THE COUNCIL. BUT WHOEVER SAYS,
00:33:39.56\00:33:41.30
'YOU FOOL!' SHALL BE
IN DANGER OF HELL FIRE.'
00:33:41.30\00:33:44.93
RACA MEANS 'WORTHLESS ONE.'
AND SO WHAT DOES CHRIST SAY?
00:33:44.93\00:33:49.43
'I'VE COME TO SHOW YOU THE
SPIRIT OF THE LAW.' THE SPIRIT
00:33:49.43\00:33:52.56
OF THE LAW IS NOT JUST LITERALLY
MURDERING SOMEBODY, IT'S BEING
00:33:52.56\00:33:57.50
ANGRY AND HAVING
MURDER IN YOUR HEART.
00:33:57.50\00:34:01.06
IT'S NOT JUST THE
ACTION, IT'S THE ATTITUDE.
00:34:01.06\00:34:05.40
IT'S NOT JUST THE
LETTER, IT'S THE SPIRIT.
00:34:05.40\00:34:07.93
AND HE GIVES
SEVERAL OTHER EXAMPLES.
00:34:07.93\00:34:12.43
AND I MAY BE
RUNNING AHEAD OF MYSELF.
00:34:12.43\00:34:15.60
JESUS SAID, 'YOU'VE HEARD IT
SAID BY THEM OF OLD YOU SHALL
00:34:15.60\00:34:17.53
NOT COMMIT ADULTERY.' THAT'S THE
LETTER OF THE LAW - ONE OF THE
00:34:17.53\00:34:20.43
TEN COMMANDMENTS - 'BUT I SAY
UNTO YOU, WHOEVER LOOKS UPON A
00:34:20.43\00:34:24.33
WOMAN TO LUST AFTER HER IN
HIS HEART' - AND LADIES, IT GOES
00:34:24.33\00:34:27.16
BOTH WAYS - 'IS GUILTY OF
ADULTERY.' NOW IT'S NOT JUST THE
00:34:27.16\00:34:32.00
ACTION OF ADULTERY, IT'S
THE ATTITUDE, JESUS SAID.
00:34:32.00\00:34:38.20
HE NOT ONLY WANTS TO CHANGE OUR
BEHAVIOR, HE WANTS TO CHANGE OUR
00:34:38.20\00:34:40.40
HEARTS BECAUSE IF YOU GET THE
SPIRIT OF THE LAW, YOU WILL KEEP
00:34:40.40\00:34:43.90
THE LETTER. IF I
LEARN TO FORGIVE MY BROTHER
00:34:43.90\00:34:47.83
IN MY HEART AND I'M NOT ANGRY
WITH MY BROTHER, AM I GOING TO
00:34:47.83\00:34:50.30
CONTEMPLATE MURDER? SO IT STARTS
IN THE HEART. IF I CAN LEARN
00:34:50.30\00:34:53.83
NOT TO LUST IN MY HEART,
AM I GOING TO COMMIT ADULTERY?
00:34:53.83\00:34:57.96
SO WHEN YOU'RE KEEPING THE
SPIRIT OF THE LAW, YOU WILL KEEP
00:34:57.96\00:35:00.86
THE LETTER OF THE LAW. NOW
WHILE I'M ON THAT POINT, LET
00:35:00.86\00:35:04.33
ME TALK ABOUT THE SABBATH FOR A
MINUTE. OH, BY THE WAY, JESUS -
00:35:04.33\00:35:07.66
HE USES SEVERAL OTHER EXAMPLES
OF THE SPIRIT AND THE LETTER.
00:35:07.66\00:35:10.96
JESUS SAID, 'COME UNTO ME
AND I'LL GIVE YOU REST.' AND HOW
00:35:10.96\00:35:15.56
MANY OF YOU HAVE HEARD SOMEONE
SAY, 'WELL, WE DON'T NEED TO
00:35:15.56\00:35:18.03
KEEP THE SABBATH COMMANDMENT
ANYMORE BECAUSE WE HAVE THE
00:35:18.03\00:35:21.86
SPIRIT OF THE LAW NOW,
WE DON'T NEED THE LETTER.'
00:35:21.86\00:35:24.80
HAVE YOU HEARD THAT? BUT
WHEN YOU KEEP THE SPIRIT OF
00:35:24.80\00:35:29.53
THE LAW, WILL
YOU BREAK THE LETTER?
00:35:29.53\00:35:32.30
IF YOU'RE KEEPING THE SPIRIT OF
THE LAW THAT SAYS, 'DON'T COMMIT
00:35:32.30\00:35:34.53
ADULTERY, ARE YOU GOING TO
PHYSICALLY COMMIT ADULTERY?
00:35:34.53\00:35:36.90
'SEE, I'M NOT THINKING IT IN MY
HEART, I'M JUST DOING IT WITH MY
00:35:36.90\00:35:38.66
BODY.' OR IF YOU SAY, 'I'M
NOT GOING TO REALLY MURDER, I'M
00:35:38.66\00:35:42.76
GOING TO KEEP THE LETTER OF
THE LAW' - I MEAN, 'I'M GOING TO
00:35:42.76\00:35:45.80
KEEP THE SPIRIT OF THE LAW,
I'M NOT GOING TO THINK MURDEROUS
00:35:45.80\00:35:48.40
THOUGHTS. I AM
GOING TO ACTUALLY SHOOT
00:35:48.40\00:35:49.86
PEOPLE, BUT I'LL HAVE THE
RIGHT ATTITUDE IN MY HEART.
00:35:49.86\00:35:52.46
I'M KEEPING THE SPIRIT OF THE
LAW.' WHENEVER YOU REALLY KEEP
00:35:52.46\00:35:55.80
THE SPIRIT OF THE LAW YOU
WILL ALSO KEEP THE LETTER.
00:35:55.80\00:35:58.46
AND SO, IF YOU'RE KEEPING THE
SPIRIT OF THE LAW, 'COME UNTO ME
00:35:58.46\00:36:01.10
AND I'LL GIVE YOU REST.' WILL
YOU WANT TO REST THAT SPECIAL
00:36:01.10\00:36:04.56
HOLY DAY THAT
GOD'S GIVEN YOU WITH HIM?
00:36:04.56\00:36:07.56
SO WHOEVER IS KEEPING THE SPIRIT
WILL WANT TO KEEP THE LETTER AS
00:36:07.56\00:36:10.60
WELL. ALRIGHT, WHO
HAS - TALKING ABOUT
00:36:10.60\00:36:13.40
THE DEEPER MEANING OF THE LAW
- SOMEBODY HAS MATTHEW 7:12 -
00:36:13.40\00:36:17.03
OVER HERE. I THINK WE'RE READY.
00:36:17.03\00:36:19.50
>>MATTHEW 7:12, "THEREFORE ALL
THINGS WHATSOEVER YE WOULD THAT
00:36:19.50\00:36:23.86
MEN SHOULD DO TO YOU,
DO YE EVEN SO TO THEM:
00:36:23.86\00:36:27.96
FOR THIS IS THE
LAW AND THE PROPHETS."
00:36:27.96\00:36:31.30
>>MORE THAN ONCE JESUS SUMS
UP THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS IN
00:36:31.30\00:36:34.76
SAYING IT'S LOVE FOR GOD AND
LOVE FOR YOUR NEIGHBOR. AMEN?
00:36:34.76\00:36:39.23
AND HE SAID, FOR INSTANCE,
IN MATTHEW 22:35, ONE WHO WAS A
00:36:39.23\00:36:43.30
LAWYER "ASKED HIM A QUESTION,
TESTING HIM, AND SAYING,
00:36:43.30\00:36:46.43
'TEACHER, WHICH IS THE
GREAT COMMANDMENT IN THE LAW?'
00:36:46.43\00:36:49.60
JESUS SAID TO HIM, 'YOU SHALL
LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL
00:36:49.60\00:36:51.56
YOUR HEART, WITH ALL YOUR SOUL,
AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.' THIS IS
00:36:51.56\00:36:53.76
THE FIRST AND GREAT COMMANDMENT.
AND THE SECOND IS LIKE IT:
00:36:53.76\00:36:57.03
'YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR
AS YOURSELF.' ON THESE TWO
00:36:57.03\00:36:59.86
COMMANDMENTS HANG ALL
THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS."
00:36:59.86\00:37:03.10
NOW I HAVE HEARD PEOPLE
SAY - YOU PROBABLY HAVE TOO -
00:37:03.10\00:37:06.26
JESUS CAME TO FULFILL THE LAW.
00:37:06.26\00:37:08.50
WE DON'T HAVE TO KEEP THE TEN
COMMANDMENTS ANYMORE BECAUSE HE
00:37:08.50\00:37:10.80
GAVE US THE NEW COVENANT, WHICH
IS 'LOVE THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR
00:37:10.80\00:37:13.30
HEART AND LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS
YOURSELF.' HAVE YOU HEARD THAT?
00:37:13.30\00:37:17.16
WHERE DID JESUS GET 'THOU
SHALT LOVE THE LORD WITH ALL THY
00:37:17.16\00:37:21.73
HEART?' DID HE
THINK THAT UP OR WAS HE
00:37:21.73\00:37:23.30
QUOTING THE OLD
TESTAMENT? THAT'S DEUTERONOMY.
00:37:23.30\00:37:26.90
THAT'S THE OLD
TESTAMENT - CHAPTER 6.
00:37:26.90\00:37:29.06
AND WHERE DID JESUS GET
'THOU SHALT LOVE THY NEIGHBOR AS
00:37:29.06\00:37:32.06
YOURSELF?' LEVITICUS 19:18.
00:37:32.06\00:37:35.00
I ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT ONE
BECAUSE I THINK ABOUT WORLD WAR
00:37:35.00\00:37:36.53
I - 1918 - AT
LEAST FOR US IT WAS.
00:37:36.53\00:37:40.70
SOME OTHER
COUNTRIES GOT IN THERE SOONER.
00:37:40.70\00:37:42.83
SO THAT REALLY IS
THE OPPOSITE OF THAT.
00:37:42.83\00:37:45.86
IT'S LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR, RIGHT?
00:37:45.86\00:37:48.16
AND SO JESUS WAS SIMPLY SAYING
THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE SUMMARY
00:37:48.16\00:37:52.40
OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS - LOVE
THE LORD AND LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR.
00:37:52.40\00:37:55.43
AND YET, I HEAR PASTORS
SAY, 'OH, WE DON'T NEED THE TEN
00:37:55.43\00:37:57.76
COMMANDMENTS ANYMORE,
JESUS GAVE US A NEW LAW.
00:37:57.76\00:37:59.93
JUST LOVE THE LORD AND LOVE YOUR
NEIGHBOR.' BUT IF YOU LOVE THE
00:37:59.93\00:38:02.03
LORD WILL YOU KEEP THE
FIRST FOUR COMMANDMENTS?
00:38:02.03\00:38:05.20
AND IF YOU LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR
YOU'LL KEEP THE LAST SIX THAT'S
00:38:05.20\00:38:08.46
WHY HE SAID, ALL THE LAW AND THE
PROPHETS HANG UPON - IS HELD UP
00:38:08.46\00:38:12.23
BY - THESE TWO
GREAT COMMANDMENTS.
00:38:12.23\00:38:15.90
AND AGAIN YOU HAVE JESUS
SAYING HE HAS A NEW COVENANT.
00:38:15.90\00:38:19.83
IN MARK 14:24. "THIS
IS MY BLOOD OF THE NEW
00:38:19.83\00:38:23.40
COVENANT, WHICH IS SHED
FOR MANY." SO NO QUESTION,
00:38:23.40\00:38:25.76
JESUS SAID 'NEW COVENANT.'
NOW, WHEN DID JESUS DO THAT?
00:38:25.76\00:38:30.30
COMMUNION SERVICE - LAST SUPPER
- WHAT WE CALL THE LAST SUPPER -
00:38:30.30\00:38:33.66
THE LORD'S SUPPER.
WHAT WAS THE LORD'S SUPPER?
00:38:33.66\00:38:37.50
PASSOVER. WE ALL
STILL IN AGREEMENT?
00:38:37.50\00:38:40.20
HE SAID, 'I'VE LONGED TO EAT
THIS PASSOVER WITH YOU.' WHAT
00:38:40.20\00:38:42.50
WAS THE PASSOVER ALL
ABOUT? THE ANGEL OF JUDGMENT WAS
00:38:42.50\00:38:45.70
PASSING BY BECAUSE THEY
HAD THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB.
00:38:45.70\00:38:48.86
THEY WERE GOING TO HAVE DEATH
OF THE FIRSTBORN OF THE FAMILY
00:38:48.86\00:38:52.10
UNLESS THEY HAD THE BLOOD OF THE
LAMB APPLIED TO THE DOOR - OR
00:38:52.10\00:38:55.33
THE THRESHOLD AND
DOOR OF THE HOUSE.
00:38:55.33\00:38:59.30
AND BECAUSE OF THAT, THAT
ANGEL OF JUDGMENT WENT BY.
00:38:59.30\00:39:02.96
WELL, JESUS WASN'T DOING AWAY
WITH THE LAW, HE WAS SHOWING THE
00:39:02.96\00:39:06.03
FULL MEANING OF IT. THAT
ANGEL OF JUDGMENT PASSES BY
00:39:06.03\00:39:09.16
US BECAUSE OF THE
BLOOD OF CHRIST. SO HE SAID
00:39:09.16\00:39:12.40
'A NEW COMMANDMENT.' JOHN 13:34,
"A NEW COMMANDMENT I GIVE TO
00:39:12.40\00:39:16.40
YOU, THAT YOU LOVE ONE ANOTHER;
AS I HAVE LOVED YOU, THAT YOU
00:39:16.40\00:39:20.70
ALSO LOVE ONE ANOTHER."
DID JESUS HAVE PERFECT LOVE?
00:39:20.70\00:39:27.06
DID JESUS HAVE THE KIND
OF LOVE HE WANTS US TO HAVE?
00:39:27.06\00:39:30.16
DID JESUS KEEP HIS
FATHER'S COMMANDMENTS?
00:39:30.16\00:39:33.73
AND SO, IF WE LOVE LIKE JESUS
LOVED, AND CHRIST SAID, 'FATHER,
00:39:33.73\00:39:39.00
I PRAY THAT THE APOSTLES AND
BELIEVERS WILL BE ONE WITH EACH
00:39:39.00\00:39:43.33
OTHER THE WAY YOU AND I ARE ONE.
HOW ARE JESUS AND THE FATHER
00:39:43.33\00:39:47.00
ONE? PERFECT LOVE. AND
JESUS OBEYED THE LAW OF THE
00:39:47.00\00:39:51.00
FATHER. HE SAID SO.
HOW ARE WE TO BE ONE?
00:39:51.00\00:39:54.56
THE SAME WAY CHRIST
AND THE FATHER WERE ONE.
00:39:54.56\00:39:57.06
SO THIS IDEA THAT THIS NEW
COVENANT MEANS THAT NOW WE ARE
00:39:57.06\00:40:00.50
LIBERATED TO DISOBEY, THAT IS SO
INCONGRUOUS WITH THE TEACHINGS
00:40:00.50\00:40:06.40
OF JESUS. BUT
SOMEHOW THE DEVIL HAS GOT
00:40:06.40\00:40:08.46
THESE DIABOLICAL DOCTRINES BEING
PREACHED FROM CHRISTIAN PULPITS
00:40:08.46\00:40:11.66
THAT ONCE YOU'RE SAVED YOU
ARE NOW FREE FROM OBEDIENCE.
00:40:11.66\00:40:16.03
IS OBEDIENCE LEGALISM OR IS
OBEDIENCE THE RESULT OF LOVE?
00:40:16.03\00:40:21.73
'IF YOU LOVE ME'
- JESUS SAID - WHAT?
00:40:21.73\00:40:25.06
- 'KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS.' THE
LAST THING IT SAYS IN THE NEW
00:40:25.06\00:40:27.30
TESTAMENT, REVELATION 22,
'BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO KEEP HIS
00:40:27.30\00:40:30.80
COMMANDMENTS THAT THEY MIGHT
HAVE A RIGHT TO ENTER INTO THE
00:40:30.80\00:40:33.80
GATES OF THE CITY AND
EAT FROM THE TREE OF LIFE.
00:40:33.80\00:40:36.30
HERE IS THE PATIENCE OF THE
SAINTS; HERE ARE THOSE WHO KEEP
00:40:36.30\00:40:39.93
THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD AND HAVE
THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS.' I MEAN,
00:40:39.93\00:40:43.43
YOU JUST - AND
THAT'S, AGAIN, REVELATION.
00:40:43.43\00:40:45.40
YOU SEE IT ALL THROUGH THE BIBLE
- THIS PRINCIPLE - AND YET IN
00:40:45.40\00:40:47.80
CHRISTIAN PULPITS I'M HEARING
PASTORS - IT BREAKS MY HEART -
00:40:47.80\00:40:51.03
TELLING PEOPLE 'DON'T WORRY
ABOUT THE LAW.' YES, YOU DON'T
00:40:51.03\00:40:53.83
HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE
CEREMONIAL LAW, BUT THE TEN
00:40:53.83\00:40:56.13
COMMANDMENTS? YES,
IF YOU LOVE THE LORD,
00:40:56.13\00:40:59.13
YOU'LL WANT TO DO HIS WILL.
WHAT'S THE BEST EXPRESSION OF
00:40:59.13\00:41:03.10
GOD'S WILL? IT SAYS,
'I LOVE TO DO THY WILL.
00:41:03.10\00:41:07.23
THY LAW IS IN MY HEART.' THE
LAW OF GOD IS THE WILL OF GOD.
00:41:07.23\00:41:13.63
IT'S THE VERY NATURE OF GOD.
00:41:13.63\00:41:15.26
ALRIGHT, SOMEONE LOOK UP
FOR ME 1 CORINTHIANS 7:10.
00:41:15.26\00:41:18.46
I DON'T KNOW WHO
WOULD HAVE THAT VERSE.
00:41:18.46\00:41:20.06
WE GAVE OUT SOME VERSES - THEY
LOOK LIKE BIG FORTUNE COOKIES.
00:41:20.06\00:41:22.73
OKAY. JUST A - WE'LL
GET TO YOU IN JUST A MOMENT.
00:41:22.73\00:41:25.13
WE'RE NOT QUITE READY. JESUS
AND THE SEVENTH COMMANDMENT.
00:41:25.13\00:41:29.13
WHAT'S THE SEVENTH COMMANDMENT?
'THOU SHALT NOT COMMIT
00:41:29.13\00:41:33.33
ADULTERY.' RIGHT.
THIS IS A TEST, FRIENDS.
00:41:33.33\00:41:35.56
YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT. I
MEAN, WE OUGHT TO KNOW -
00:41:35.56\00:41:38.00
EVERY SUNDAY
SCHOOL CHILD SHOULD KNOW
00:41:38.00\00:41:39.93
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, RIGHT?
AND SO WE OUGHT TO KNOW THESE.
00:41:39.93\00:41:43.00
THIS ISN'T JUST FOR
PASTORS TO KNOW THAT.
00:41:43.00\00:41:45.16
YOU REMEMBER WHEN THE RICH
YOUNG RULER TALKED TO JESUS.
00:41:45.16\00:41:49.03
HE SAID, 'GOOD MASTER,' - THIS
IS LATER IN THE LESSON - 'WHAT
00:41:49.03\00:41:51.36
GOOD THING SHALL I DO THAT
I MIGHT HAVE ETERNAL LIFE?'
00:41:51.36\00:41:54.10
CHRIST SAID, 'WHY
CALLEST THOU ME GOOD.
00:41:54.10\00:41:56.40
NONE IS GOOD
SAVE ONE, THAT IS GOD.
00:41:56.40\00:41:58.86
BUT IF YOU WOULD ENTER INTO
LIFE, KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS.' HE
00:41:58.86\00:42:01.00
SAID, 'WHICH ONES?'
JESUS STARTS GOING THROUGH THE
00:42:01.00\00:42:03.13
TEN COMMANDMENTS. HE
SAYS, 'ALL THESE I'VE KEPT
00:42:03.13\00:42:05.03
FROM MY YOUTH.' - EVERY CHILD
KNOWS THAT - EVERY JEWISH BOY
00:42:05.03\00:42:07.86
AND GIRL KNEW
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:42:07.86\00:42:10.56
THEY'RE DOING BETTER
THAN SOME CHRISTIANS, RIGHT?
00:42:10.56\00:42:14.43
DO YOU KNOW IF YOU GO OUT ON THE
STREET - I OUGHT TO DO THIS - GO
00:42:14.43\00:42:18.46
OUT ON THE STREET AND ASK THE
AVERAGE PERSON - FIND CHRISTIANS
00:42:18.46\00:42:20.93
- SAY, 'CAN YOU QUOTE
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS TO ME?'
00:42:20.93\00:42:24.26
SOME OF THEM CAN
MAYBE GET 50%. IT'S AMAZING.
00:42:24.26\00:42:29.83
WE OUGHT TO BE ABLE TO QUOTE
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, AMEN?
00:42:29.83\00:42:33.10
ALRIGHT, MATTHEW 5:27, "YOU HAVE
HEARD THAT IT WAS SAID TO THOSE
00:42:33.10\00:42:38.53
OF OLD, 'YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT
ADULTERY.' BUT I SAY TO YOU THAT
00:42:38.53\00:42:41.53
WHOEVER LOOKS AT A WOMAN
TO LUST FOR HER HAS ALREADY
00:42:41.53\00:42:43.83
COMMITTED ADULTERY
WITH HER IN HIS HEART."
00:42:43.83\00:42:46.20
SO CHRIST IS SAYING THE BEST WAY
TO PRESERVE MARRIAGES IS TO MAKE
00:42:46.20\00:42:49.76
SURE YOUR HEART IS NOT
GOING IN THE WRONG PLACE.
00:42:49.76\00:42:52.96
YOU KNOW, TYPICALLY,
HOW ADULTERY HAPPENS?
00:42:52.96\00:42:55.93
VERY RARELY DOES A HAPPY -
HAPPILY MARRIED COUPLE HAVE ONE
00:42:55.93\00:43:00.13
OF THE PARTNERS - SPOUSES - WAKE
UP ONE DAY AND SAY, 'YOU KNOW,
00:43:00.13\00:43:05.76
TODAY I THINK I'LL
JUST COMMIT ADULTERY.
00:43:05.76\00:43:09.16
I'M GOING TO GO SEE IF I CAN
FIND SOMEONE TO COMMIT ADULTERY
00:43:09.16\00:43:11.90
WITH.' IT DOESN'T
USUALLY HAPPEN THAT WAY.
00:43:11.90\00:43:14.80
THEY ENTER INTO AN
INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP.
00:43:14.80\00:43:17.63
FIRST OF ALL, THERE'S PROBLEMS
WITH INTIMACY, USUALLY, WITHIN
00:43:17.63\00:43:21.33
THE MARRIAGE. THERE'S PROBLEMS
WITH THEIR RELATIONSHIP.
00:43:21.33\00:43:25.10
THEY'RE NOT IN -
THEY'RE NOT BEING ONE THE WAY
00:43:25.10\00:43:28.36
THEY SHOULD BE
ONE AND IN COMMUNION.
00:43:28.36\00:43:30.36
AND, AS A RESULT OF THAT,
SOMEBODY ELSE - AT THE OFFICE OR
00:43:30.36\00:43:34.90
SOME OTHER FRIEND OF A FRIEND
STARTS SHOWING AN INTEREST AND
00:43:34.90\00:43:38.23
THEY START SAYING, 'BOY, THIS
PERSON'S SO NICE - UNLIKE MY
00:43:38.23\00:43:41.76
HUSBAND OR MY WIFE.' AND THEY
SEEM TO HAVE ALL THESE STRENGTHS
00:43:41.76\00:43:46.60
AND ALL THESE CHARACTERS AND
'BOY, IF I COULD FIND A MAN OR A
00:43:46.60\00:43:49.20
WOMAN LIKE THAT.' AND THEN THEY
START TO TALK TOGETHER AND THEY
00:43:49.20\00:43:51.40
START SHARING THINGS THEY
SHOULDN'T SHARE AND IN THEIR
00:43:51.40\00:43:53.96
MINDS THEY BEGIN TO OPEN A DOOR.
IT HAPPENS IN THE HEART FIRST.
00:43:53.96\00:43:59.16
AND THEN, ALL OF A SUDDEN,
THE MAN PLACES HIS HAND ON HER
00:43:59.16\00:44:03.43
SHOULDER BECAUSE SHE STARTS TO
CRY. AND THEN SHE THROWS HERSELF
00:44:03.43\00:44:07.60
- HER HEAD - ON HIS SHOULDER AND
STARTS TO SOB, 'MY MARRIAGE IS
00:44:07.60\00:44:11.06
FALLING APART.' AND HE
SAYS, 'COME, LET ME HELP YOU.
00:44:11.06\00:44:16.13
I'LL COMFORT YOU.' AND
THAT'S OFTEN HOW IT HAPPENS.
00:44:16.13\00:44:20.93
ONE THING LEADS TO ANOTHER AND
IF WE DON'T ALLOW IT TO HAPPEN
00:44:20.93\00:44:25.86
IN THE HEART, IT WILL
NEVER HAPPEN IN THE LIFE.
00:44:25.86\00:44:30.23
YOU JUST DON'T EVEN GO
THERE. SO JESUS' TEACHING ON THE
00:44:30.23\00:44:34.16
SEVENTH COMMANDMENT WAS NOT THAT
- HE DIDN'T LOWER THE STANDARD.
00:44:34.16\00:44:37.60
NOTICE THIS: MATTHEW 5:31,
"FURTHERMORE, IT HAS BEEN SAID,"
00:44:37.60\00:44:42.33
- SPEAKING, AGAIN, IN OLD
TESTAMENT - "'WHOEVER WILL PUT
00:44:42.33\00:44:45.23
AWAY HIS WIFE, LET HIM GIVE
HER A WRITING OF DIVORCEMENT.'
00:44:45.23\00:44:48.10
BUT I SAY TO YOU," -
NOW IS HE GOING TO LOWER THE
00:44:48.10\00:44:50.66
STANDARD OR RAISE IT? SO
JESUS DIDN'T COME TO MAKE THE
00:44:50.66\00:44:53.93
LAW SMALLER, HE CAME TO MAKE
IT BIGGER - "BUT I SAY TO YOU,
00:44:53.93\00:44:58.40
WHOEVER WILL PUT AWAY HIS
WIFE SAVING FOR THE CAUSE OF
00:44:58.40\00:45:00.76
FORNICATION CAUSES HER TO COMMIT
ADULTERY; AND WHOEVER SHALL
00:45:00.76\00:45:04.13
MARRY HER THAT IS
DIVORCED COMMITS ADULTERY."
00:45:04.13\00:45:07.26
MATTER OF FACT, THE DISCIPLES
- MATTHEW 19, VERSE 7, THEY CAME
00:45:07.26\00:45:12.63
TO JESUS AND SAID, "WHY
THEN DID MOSES COMMAND TO GIVE A
00:45:12.63\00:45:15.86
CERTIFICATE OF
DIVORCE, AND TO PUT HER AWAY?"
00:45:15.86\00:45:18.66
'IT'S BIBLICAL TO DIVORCE.
00:45:18.66\00:45:21.26
WHY DID MOSES ALLOW THIS?'
- "HE SAID TO THEM, 'MOSES,
00:45:21.26\00:45:24.20
BECAUSE OF THE HARDNESS OF YOUR
HEARTS," - GOD MADE A PROVISION
00:45:24.20\00:45:28.93
TO PROTECT WIVES BECAUSE OF THE
HARDNESS OF YOUR HEARTS - BUT
00:45:28.93\00:45:33.20
THIS WAS NOT THE BEGINNING -
IT WAS NOT SO - "I SAY TO YOU,
00:45:33.20\00:45:36.60
WHOEVER DIVORCES HIS WIFE EXCEPT
FOR SEXUAL IMMORALITY, AND
00:45:36.60\00:45:40.03
MARRIES ANOTHER, COMMITS
ADULTERY; AND WHOEVER MARRIES
00:45:40.03\00:45:42.63
HER WHO IS
DIVORCED COMMITS ADULTERY."
00:45:42.63\00:45:44.46
THAT'S MATTHEW 19. IT
SAYS A SIMILAR THING IN MARK.
00:45:44.46\00:45:48.56
SO DID JESUS - HOW
DID HE FEEL ABOUT DIVORCE?
00:45:48.56\00:45:52.33
YOU KNOW, IT'S INTERESTING.
PEOPLE THINK THAT JESUS CAME TO
00:45:52.33\00:45:56.50
REDUCE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
YOU KNOW ONE OF THE ONES I HEAR?
00:45:56.50\00:46:00.13
IT'S VERY INTERESTING.
'WE DON'T HAVE TO PAY TITHE
00:46:00.13\00:46:03.90
ANYMORE, THAT WAS
AN OLD TESTAMENT LAW.
00:46:03.90\00:46:07.36
AND I THINK, WELL, DID
JESUS COME AND LOWER THE GIVING
00:46:07.36\00:46:12.56
STANDARD FOR NEW
TESTAMENT CHRISTIANS?
00:46:12.56\00:46:15.60
IF IT'S NOT TITHE, WHAT IS
IT FOR NEW TESTAMENT CHRISTIANS?
00:46:15.60\00:46:20.93
IT'S HIGHER, NOT LOWER.
YOU READ IN THE NEW TESTAMENT -
00:46:20.93\00:46:26.13
IN THE BIBLE - OLD TESTAMENT
- TITHES AND OFFERINGS.
00:46:26.13\00:46:29.13
TITHE WAS A TENTH,
OFFERINGS YOU COULD DETERMINE.
00:46:29.13\00:46:31.83
IN THE NEW TESTAMENT NO MAN SAID
THAT ALL - AUGHT THAT HE HAD WAS
00:46:31.83\00:46:37.13
HIS OWN, BUT THEY SOLD THEIR
HOUSES AND LANDS - LIQUIDATED
00:46:37.13\00:46:41.86
THEIR ASSETS AND LAID
THEM AT THE DISCIPLES' FEET.
00:46:41.86\00:46:45.56
SO PEOPLE WHO SAY,
'TITHE, WHY? WE'RE NOT UNDER
00:46:45.56\00:46:48.53
THE OLD TESTAMENT.
THAT'S TOO EXPENSIVE.
00:46:48.53\00:46:50.40
TITHE - TEN PERCENT - ARE YOU
KIDDING ME?' OH, YOU WANT TO BE
00:46:50.40\00:46:53.20
A NEW TESTAMENT
CHRISTIAN, THAT'S FINE.
00:46:53.20\00:46:55.53
YOU LOOK AT WHAT THEY DID
IN THE NEW TESTAMENT WITH THEIR
00:46:55.53\00:46:58.40
POSSESSIONS AND, BOY,
IT WASN'T TEN PERCENT.
00:46:58.40\00:47:02.46
I MEAN,
BARNABAS, HE SOLD HIS LAND.
00:47:02.46\00:47:04.83
THEY WERE SELLING THEIR HOUSES.
THEY WERE PUTTING IT ON THE
00:47:04.83\00:47:06.26
ALTAR TO SPREAD THE GOSPEL.
I MEAN, IT WASN'T A LOWER
00:47:06.26\00:47:09.26
STANDARD. IT WAS
A HIGHER STANDARD.
00:47:09.26\00:47:11.40
YOU WOULD BE HAPPY TO GO
BACK AND AT LEAST KEEP THE OLD
00:47:11.40\00:47:13.43
TESTAMENT TITHE. WE'VE
GOT CHRISTIANS THAT AREN'T
00:47:13.43\00:47:15.76
EVEN PAYING A TITHE TODAY AND
THEY THINK THEY'RE CHRISTIANS.
00:47:15.76\00:47:19.06
THEY DON'T WANT TO KEEP A
NEW TESTAMENT GIVING STANDARD -
00:47:19.06\00:47:21.46
THEY'RE NOT EVEN KEEPING THE
OLD TESTAMENT GIVING STANDARD.
00:47:21.46\00:47:24.36
ISN'T THAT RIGHT? NEW
TESTAMENT IS A HIGHER STANDARD.
00:47:24.36\00:47:28.40
AND IT'S THAT WAY
WITH MARRIAGE TOO.
00:47:28.40\00:47:31.80
BUT, SADLY - YOU KNOW, THERE'S
A STATISTIC GOING AROUND - IT'S
00:47:31.80\00:47:36.06
ACTUALLY NOT TRUE - THERE'S
A STATISTIC THAT SAYS THAT THE
00:47:36.06\00:47:38.43
DIVORCE RATE IN THE CHURCH
IS JUST AS HIGH AS IN THE WORLD.
00:47:38.43\00:47:41.06
THAT'S ACTUALLY NOT TRUE.
OF PROFESSED CHRISTIANS, THE
00:47:41.06\00:47:46.00
DIVORCE RATE IN THE
AMERICAN CULTURE AMONG PROFESSED
00:47:46.00\00:47:48.96
CHRISTIANS IS JUST AS
HIGH AS THE PUBLIC IN GENERAL.
00:47:48.96\00:47:52.83
BUT THAT'S NOT
TELLING AN HONEST PICTURE.
00:47:52.83\00:47:54.60
A LOT OF PROFESSED CHRISTIANS
DON'T ACTUALLY ATTEND CHURCH.
00:47:54.60\00:47:59.23
BARNA DID A STUDY - THE CHURCH
SURVEY GROUP - AMONG CHURCH-
00:47:59.23\00:48:04.96
GOING CHRISTIANS - MARRIAGES
FARE BETTER THAN THE PUBLIC.
00:48:04.96\00:48:10.50
BUT THERE'S STILL A
VERY HIGH DIVORCE RATE.
00:48:10.50\00:48:13.00
WHEREAS, IN THE WORLD - I FORGET
THE EXACT PERCENTAGE - IT MAY BE
00:48:13.00\00:48:15.40
UP TO 50 PERCENT - IN THE
CHURCH, IT MAY BE 38 PERCENT.
00:48:15.40\00:48:20.26
SO IT'S BETTER, BUT
IT'S STILL PRETTY BAD.
00:48:20.26\00:48:23.20
AND SO, WHAT WAS JESUS'
STANDARD ABOUT MARRIAGE?
00:48:23.20\00:48:27.43
BY THE WAY, READ WHAT PAUL SAYS
ABOUT MARRIAGE - AND THAT'S THE
00:48:27.43\00:48:29.83
NEXT VERSE IN 1
CORINTHIANS 7:10 - WHO HAS THAT?
00:48:29.83\00:48:34.16
OVER HERE. GO AHEAD, YOU'RE UP.
00:48:34.16\00:48:36.03
>>"NOW TO THE MARRIED I
COMMAND, YET NOT I BUT THE LORD:
00:48:36.03\00:48:39.40
A WIFE IS NOT TO DEPART FROM HER
HUSBAND. BUT EVEN IF SHE DOES
00:48:39.40\00:48:42.70
DEPART, LET HER REMAIN UNMARRIED
OR BE RECONCILED TO HER HUSBAND.
00:48:42.70\00:48:46.73
AND A HUSBAND IS NOT
TO DIVORCE HIS WIFE."
00:48:46.73\00:48:49.43
>>ALRIGHT, SO AGAIN,
NOTICE WHAT PAUL IS SAYING.
00:48:49.43\00:48:52.13
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
THE TEACHINGS OF JESUS.
00:48:52.13\00:48:53.70
PAUL SAYS, 'NOT I, BUT THE
LORD.' SO HE SAYS, 'I'M QUOTING
00:48:53.70\00:48:56.23
WHAT THE LORD JESUS SAID.'
AND HE'S REFERRING BACK TO THESE
00:48:56.23\00:48:58.53
VERSES IN MATTHEW AND MARK THAT
WE JUST READ ABOUT MARRIAGE,
00:48:58.53\00:49:01.20
THAT SOMETIMES THERE ARE
IRRECONCILABLE DIFFERENCES AND
00:49:01.20\00:49:06.20
IF TWO CHRISTIANS ARE MARRIED
AND, FOR WHATEVER REASON, THEY
00:49:06.20\00:49:11.20
SEPARATE. HE
SAYS REMAIN UNMARRIED.
00:49:11.20\00:49:14.50
YOU DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT
TO BOUNCE FROM MARRIAGE TO
00:49:14.50\00:49:16.66
MARRIAGE, BIBLICALLY. I
KNOW THAT SOUNDS PRETTY STERN.
00:49:16.66\00:49:19.93
THERE ARE ONLY TWO CASES I
FIND IN THE NEW TESTAMENT WHERE
00:49:19.93\00:49:23.30
REMARRIAGE - WELL, THREE
CASES - REMARRIAGE IS ALLOWED.
00:49:23.30\00:49:26.50
PAUL SAYS, 'IF A SPOUSE DIES.'
THAT'S WHY, DURING THE WEDDING
00:49:26.50\00:49:29.93
VOWS, IT SAYS, 'TILL
DEATH DO YOU PART.' RIGHT?
00:49:29.93\00:49:32.86
YOU'RE FREE TO
REMARRY. PAUL SAYS THAT, RIGHT?
00:49:32.86\00:49:36.00
IF YOU ARE TWO PAGANS -
NOW LISTEN CAREFULLY, THIS IS 1
00:49:36.00\00:49:39.36
CORINTHIANS 7, 'IF YOU'RE
TWO PAGANS AND ONE OF YOU LEARNS
00:49:39.36\00:49:43.33
ABOUT CHRIST AND YOU SAY,
'I WANT TO BE A CHRISTIAN.' AND
00:49:43.33\00:49:48.23
YOUR PAGAN SPOUSE - HUSBAND OR
WIFE - SAYS, 'I DIDN'T SIGN UP
00:49:48.23\00:49:52.10
FOR THAT. I'M GOING TO CONTINUE
WORSHIPING JUPITER.' THIS
00:49:52.10\00:49:55.33
HAPPENED A LOT WHEN THE GOSPEL
WAS SPREADING. AND HE SAYS,
00:49:55.33\00:49:58.46
'OH, I'M LEAVING YOU. I
DON'T WANT TO BE A CHRISTIAN.
00:49:58.46\00:50:00.60
I'M OUT OF HERE.' AND YOU'RE
ABANDONED BY YOUR HUSBAND OR
00:50:00.60\00:50:02.76
WIFE - PAUL SAYS, 'IF THEY'RE
WILLING TO STAY WITH YOU, STAY
00:50:02.76\00:50:05.73
MARRIED EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE
PAGANS BECAUSE YOU BEING A
00:50:05.73\00:50:08.06
BELIEVER WILL HAVE A
SANCTIFYING, CONVERTING
00:50:08.06\00:50:09.93
INFLUENCE ON YOUR UNBELIEVING
SPOUSE AND YOUR CHILDREN.
00:50:09.93\00:50:14.83
STAY IN THE MARRIAGE IF AT ALL
POSSIBLE. THAT'S WHAT HE SAYS.
00:50:14.83\00:50:17.73
THAT'S WHY PETER SAYS THAT THE
BELIEVING WIFE, BY HER CHASTE
00:50:17.73\00:50:22.26
CONVERSATION CAN HAVE A
CONVERTING INFLUENCE ON HER
00:50:22.26\00:50:24.93
UNBELIEVING HUSBAND AS THEY
BEHOLD YOUR HUMBLE BEHAVIOR.
00:50:24.93\00:50:29.60
STAY TOGETHER IF YOU CAN.
BUT IF THEY ARE DETERMINED TO
00:50:29.60\00:50:32.30
LEAVE, IT SAYS,
'LET THEM DEPART.'
00:50:32.30\00:50:34.16
A BELIEVER IS NOT
UNDER BONDAGE IN SOME CASES.
00:50:34.16\00:50:36.90
IF YOU'RE ABANDONED AND YOU DID
NOT MARRY WITH THE COVENANT OF
00:50:36.90\00:50:41.33
BEING A CHRISTIAN - YOU DIDN'T
UNDERSTAND THAT, THEN YOU'RE
00:50:41.33\00:50:43.90
FREE, IT SAYS, TO REMARRY.
GOD DID NOT EXPECT YOU THEN TO
00:50:43.90\00:50:48.06
RAISE YOUR CHILDREN ALONE.
SO DO YOU GET THE DIFFERENCE
00:50:48.06\00:50:50.66
THERE? SO THAT'S
THE OTHER DIFFERENCE.
00:50:50.66\00:50:52.80
AND THEN THE THIRD CAVEAT
IS CHRIST SAYS, 'SAVING FOR THE
00:50:52.80\00:50:56.96
CAUSE OF FORNICATION. IF
ONE OF THE PARTNERS VIOLATES
00:50:56.96\00:51:01.76
THE WEDDING VOWS AND - THROUGH
FORNICATION - THROUGH ADULTERY -
00:51:01.76\00:51:06.66
THEN THE OTHER
IS TECHNICALLY FREE.
00:51:06.66\00:51:09.56
THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU
SHOULDN'T TRY TO RECONCILE.
00:51:09.56\00:51:12.86
RECONCILIATION IS ALWAYS BETTER.
AND SO IF THERE'S ANY REDEEMABLE
00:51:12.86\00:51:17.20
QUALITIES IN THE
RELATIONSHIP, RECONCILE.
00:51:17.20\00:51:20.50
THERE ARE CASES WHERE PASTORS
HAVE RECOMMENDED DIVORCE.
00:51:20.50\00:51:24.30
I MEAN, I'VE TALKED,
BEFORE, TO MEN OR WOMEN THAT ARE
00:51:24.30\00:51:27.66
PERPETUALLY HAVING
SCANDALOUS RELATIONSHIPS.
00:51:27.66\00:51:31.46
I KNEW THIS ONE LADY, HER
HUSBAND WAS ALWAYS ON THE ROAD,
00:51:31.46\00:51:34.00
AND HE WAS PHILANDERING WITH THE
RED-LIGHT DISTRICT AND WAS NOT
00:51:34.00\00:51:40.16
AT ALL REPENTANT. AND
SHE SAID, 'WHAT DO I DO?'
00:51:40.16\00:51:42.86
I SAID, 'HE'S NOT
EVEN REMORSEFUL ABOUT IT.
00:51:42.86\00:51:45.66
HE'S FLAUNTING IT.' I SAID, 'I'D
DIVORCE BECAUSE YOU CAN CATCH A
00:51:45.66\00:51:48.83
DISEASE, FOR ONE THING.' I SAID,
'THERE'S TIMES WHEN - IT'S VERY
00:51:48.83\00:51:52.93
SAD - BUT THERE ARE BIBLICAL
GROUNDS.' SO JESUS' STANDARD,
00:51:52.93\00:51:57.26
THOUGH, IS A VERY HIGH STANDARD.
ALRIGHT, I'VE SAID TOO MUCH ON
00:51:57.26\00:51:59.76
THAT SUBJECT. NOW
WE'RE GOING TO GO TO JESUS
00:51:59.76\00:52:02.26
AND THE FIFTH COMMANDMENT,
'HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER.'
00:52:02.26\00:52:04.53
WHO'S GOING TO
READ FOR ME MARK 10:19?
00:52:04.53\00:52:07.66
DO WE HAVE A
MICROPHONE SOMEWHERE?
00:52:07.66\00:52:10.13
OVER HERE. JOLYNE?
WE'LL GET YOU READY.
00:52:10.13\00:52:12.10
I'M GOING TO READ MARK 7,
VERSE 10 - WAIT, YOU KNOW WHAT?
00:52:12.10\00:52:17.90
I'M GOING TO START WITH EXODUS
21:17 - NOTICE THIS: EXODUS
00:52:17.90\00:52:22.40
21:17, "AND HE WHO CURSES
HIS FATHER OR HIS MOTHER SHALL
00:52:22.40\00:52:26.73
SURELY BE PUT TO
DEATH." THAT'S PRETTY SERIOUS.
00:52:26.73\00:52:33.10
SO HOW - HOW SERIOUS WAS
IT, IN BIBLE TIMES, TO SPEAK
00:52:33.10\00:52:40.46
DISRESPECTFULLY - HAVE YOU EVER
SEEN TEENAGERS CURSING AT THEIR
00:52:40.46\00:52:43.73
PARENTS? YOU EVER
- HAVE YOU EVER BEEN
00:52:43.73\00:52:46.46
OUT IN PUBLIC AND YOU SEE
TEENAGERS YELLING AT THEIR
00:52:46.46\00:52:48.56
PARENTS AND TALKING
BACK TO THEIR PARENTS?
00:52:48.56\00:52:51.56
OH BOY - AND AS HARD OF A TIME
AS I GAVE MY PARENTS, I - YOU
00:52:51.56\00:52:57.86
SASSED YOUR PARENTS - MY
GRANDMOTHER, SHE TAUGHT ME THAT.
00:52:57.86\00:53:02.66
I TALKED BACK TO MY GRANDMOTHER
ONE TIME AND SHE SAID, 'LET ME
00:53:02.66\00:53:05.70
SEE YOUR TONGUE.' I STUCK OUT MY
TONGUE - SHE SLAPPED ME ON THE
00:53:05.70\00:53:08.43
BOTTOM OF MY JAW -
MADE ME BITE MY TONGUE.
00:53:08.43\00:53:12.36
I'M NOT RECOMMENDING THAT, I'M
JUST TELLING YOU WHAT MY GRANDMA
00:53:12.36\00:53:14.50
DID. BUT, YOU KNOW, YOU MAKE
THIS CONNECTION BETWEEN PAIN AND
00:53:14.50\00:53:19.33
EVENTS AND YOU
JUST DON'T FORGET.
00:53:19.33\00:53:22.53
AND SO, EVERY TIME I'D TALK BACK
TO HER, BOY GRANDMA CAME DOWN
00:53:22.53\00:53:26.13
HARD. AND SHE KNEW
YOU'VE GOT TO OBEY YOUR ELDERS.
00:53:26.13\00:53:30.26
YOU NOTICE HOW, SOMETIMES,
YOU LEARN BEST WITH PAIN?
00:53:30.26\00:53:34.96
I WAS RIDING MY FOUR-WHEELER
AROUND IN THE HILLS ONE DAY AND
00:53:34.96\00:53:40.03
I PARKED FOR A SECOND AND ALL OF
A SUDDEN I GOT SHOT - I THOUGHT
00:53:40.03\00:53:45.63
- IT TURNS OUT I GOT STUNG BY
A YELLOW JACKET AND THEN ANOTHER
00:53:45.63\00:53:47.93
ONE. I HAD PARKED
ON A YELLOW JACKET
00:53:47.93\00:53:49.60
NEST AND I DIDN'T
KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING.
00:53:49.60\00:53:51.60
ALL OF A SUDDEN I FELT
LIKE I'D BEEN SHOT. I WENT 'OW!
00:53:51.60\00:53:54.06
WHAT WAS THAT?' AND
'OH!' YOU KNOW, AND PRETTY
00:53:54.06\00:53:55.90
SOON I REALIZED THAT THIS
WAS A CLOUD OF YELLOW JACKETS.
00:53:55.90\00:53:57.73
AND I TOOK OFF - I GOT
OUT OF THERE IN GREAT PAIN.
00:53:57.73\00:53:59.86
I DON'T KNOW HOW
MANY TIMES I GOT STUNG.
00:53:59.86\00:54:02.30
I STILL RIDE AROUND THOSE SAME
HILLS - THIS HAS BEEN 20 YEARS
00:54:02.30\00:54:06.83
AGO - I ALWAYS
REMEMBER THAT SPOT.
00:54:06.83\00:54:11.36
PAIN TEACHES YOU, YOU KNOW THAT?
YOU WILL NEVER FORGET THAT SPOT.
00:54:11.36\00:54:14.73
THE YELLOW JACKETS -
THEY'RE DEAD AND GONE LONG AGO.
00:54:14.73\00:54:17.46
THEY'RE NOT THERE ANYMORE, BUT
I NEVER FORGET THAT LITTLE HILL
00:54:17.46\00:54:20.43
WHERE THAT HAPPENED.
SOMETIMES GOD HAS TO TEACH US
00:54:20.43\00:54:24.00
THAT WAY, DOESN'T HE?
BECAUSE YOU JUST - THAT'S HOW
00:54:24.00\00:54:26.40
YOU REMEMBER
SOMETIMES, THROUGH SUFFERING.
00:54:26.40\00:54:28.36
HOW DID I GET ON THAT? OH,
HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER.
00:54:28.36\00:54:32.63
ALRIGHT, READ FOR
ME, JOLYNE, MARK 10:19.
00:54:32.63\00:54:36.13
>>MARK 10:19, "YOU KNOW THE
COMMANDMENTS: 'DO NOT COMMIT
00:54:36.13\00:54:40.20
ADULTERY,' 'DO NOT MURDER,' 'DO
NOT STEAL,' 'DO NOT BEAR FALSE
00:54:40.20\00:54:44.46
WITNESS,' 'DO NOT DEFRAUD,'
00:54:44.46\00:54:46.30
'HONOR YOUR
FATHER AND YOUR MOTHER.'"
00:54:46.30\00:54:49.00
>>SO AMONG THE
COMMANDMENTS THAT JESUS REPEATS
00:54:49.00\00:54:51.96
TO THE YOUNG RULER - 'HONOR YOUR
FATHER AND YOUR MOTHER.' RIGHT?
00:54:51.96\00:54:56.36
AND THEN JESUS GOES ON TO SAY
- MARK 7:10, "FOR MOSES SAID,
00:54:56.36\00:55:00.53
'HONOR YOUR FATHER AND YOUR
MOTHER'; AND, 'HE WHO CURSES
00:55:00.53\00:55:02.70
FATHER OR MOTHER, LET HIM BE PUT
TO DEATH.' BUT YOU SAY, 'IF A
00:55:02.70\00:55:08.20
MAN SAYS TO HIS FATHER OR
MOTHER, 'WHATEVER PROFIT YOU
00:55:08.20\00:55:10.93
MIGHT HAVE RECEIVED FROM ME
IS KORBAN' - (THAT IS, A GIFT TO
00:55:10.93\00:55:12.86
GOD)," - BY WHATEVER YOU MIGHT
HAVE PROFITED BY ME, HE'S FREE.
00:55:12.86\00:55:15.30
LET ME EXPLAIN
WHAT KORBAN MEANS.
00:55:15.30\00:55:16.86
THE PHARISEES HAD MANUFACTURED
A LAW THAT IF YOU DIDN'T WANT TO
00:55:16.86\00:55:20.66
HAVE TO SUPPORT YOUR PARENTS IN
THEIR OLD AGE, ALL YOU HAD TO DO
00:55:20.66\00:55:24.20
WAS DECLARE THAT ALL OF YOUR
POSSESSIONS WOULD BE WILLED TO
00:55:24.20\00:55:27.30
THE TEMPLE WHEN YOU'RE GONE.
THEN YOU'RE FREE TO LIVE ON THEM
00:55:27.30\00:55:30.23
AS LONG AS YOU WANT AND YOU
CAN'T GIVE IT TO ANYBODY ELSE
00:55:30.23\00:55:33.46
BECAUSE IT'S HOLY MONEY NOW.
AND IT WAS THIS LOOPHOLE SO YOU
00:55:33.46\00:55:37.03
COULD LIVE WITH ALL YOUR
MONEY ANY WAY YOU WANTED.
00:55:37.03\00:55:40.16
BUT YOU COULDN'T GIVE IT
TO ANYONE ELSE BECAUSE YOU
00:55:40.16\00:55:42.16
PROMISED TO WILL
IT TO THE TEMPLE.
00:55:42.16\00:55:43.76
THEY MADE UP THIS LAW TO ENRICH
THEMSELVES TO VIOLATE THE LAW
00:55:43.76\00:55:47.30
THAT SAYS 'HONOR YOUR PARENTS IN
THEIR OLD AGE AND TAKE CARE OF
00:55:47.30\00:55:49.60
THEM.' THEY HAD NO SOCIAL
SECURITY OR MEDICARE BACK THEN.
00:55:49.60\00:55:53.00
YOUR CHILDREN TOOK
CARE OF YOU IN YOUR OLD AGE.
00:55:53.00\00:55:54.83
JESUS SAID, 'YOU HAVE MADE
THE COMMANDMENT OF GOD OF NONE
00:55:54.83\00:55:57.20
EFFECT BY YOUR TRADITIONS.'
SO JESUS DID NOT LOWER THE
00:55:57.20\00:56:00.83
STANDARD, HE SAYS, 'NOT ONLY DO
YOU HONOR YOUR PARENTS, BUT ONE
00:56:00.83\00:56:03.66
WAY YOU HONOR THEM IS - THEY
TOOK CARE OF YOU WHEN YOU WERE
00:56:03.66\00:56:06.73
YOUNG. IF THEY GET OLD AND
FEEBLE, YOU TAKE CARE OF THEM,'
00:56:06.73\00:56:11.16
RIGHT? AND SO HE
RAISED THE STANDARD.
00:56:11.16\00:56:15.93
AND I'M RUNNING OUT OF TIME.
'JESUS AND THE ESSENCE OF THE
00:56:15.93\00:56:18.93
LAW.' LET ME JUMP ALONG
TO THIS LAST SECTION HERE.
00:56:18.93\00:56:21.46
MATTHEW 19, VERSE 20 - NOW I'M
GOING TO JUMP OVER - I'M GOING
00:56:21.46\00:56:26.13
TO JUMP DOWN TO JAMES
1:25, "BUT HE WHO LOOKS INTO THE
00:56:26.13\00:56:30.33
PERFECT LAW OF LIBERTY AND
CONTINUES IN IT, AND IS NOT A
00:56:30.33\00:56:35.00
FORGETFUL HEARER
BUT A DOER OF THE WORK,
00:56:35.00\00:56:37.40
THIS ONE WILL BE
BLESSED IN WHAT HE DOES."
00:56:37.40\00:56:40.00
WHAT IS THIS PERFECT LAW
OF LIBERTY WE'RE TO LOOK INTO?
00:56:40.00\00:56:43.16
JAMES EXPLAINS IN THE NEXT
CHAPTER - JAMES 2, VERSE 11,
00:56:43.16\00:56:47.36
"FOR HE WHO SAID, 'DO NOT COMMIT
ADULTERY,' ALSO SAID, 'DO NOT
00:56:47.36\00:56:51.20
MURDER.' NOW IF YOU DO NOT
COMMIT ADULTERY, BUT YOU DO
00:56:51.20\00:56:54.30
MURDER, YOU HAVE BECOME
A TRANSGRESSOR OF THE LAW."
00:56:54.30\00:56:56.33
WHAT TWO
COMMANDMENTS ARE THOSE ABOUT?
00:56:56.33\00:56:59.03
THE TEN
COMMANDMENTS, AREN'T THEY?
00:56:59.03\00:57:00.80
'DO NOT COMMIT ADULTERY,' 'DO
NOT MURDER' - PART OF THE TEN
00:57:00.80\00:57:02.46
COMMANDMENTS. IT SAYS YOU'RE
A TRANSGRESSOR OF THE LAW.
00:57:02.46\00:57:05.43
LISTEN TO HOW HE CLOSES.
I'M STILL IN JAMES 2, VERSE 12,
00:57:05.43\00:57:08.43
"SO SPEAK AND SO DO" - WHAT DOES
GOD WANT US TO DO WITH THE TEN
00:57:08.43\00:57:13.16
COMMANDMENTS? DO IT. "SO
SPEAK AND SO DO AS THOSE WHO
00:57:13.16\00:57:17.20
WILL BE JUDGED BY
THE LAW OF LIBERTY."
00:57:17.20\00:57:21.96
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS IS
CALLED THE LAW OF LIBERTY.
00:57:21.96\00:57:23.93
I THINK GEORGE MACDONALD IS THE
ONE WHO SAID, "A FREE WILL IS
00:57:23.93\00:57:27.70
NOT LIBERTY TO DO WHATEVER ONE
LIKES, BUT THE POWER OF DOING
00:57:27.70\00:57:31.26
WHATEVER ONE SEES OUGHT TO
BE DONE, EVEN IN THE FACE OF
00:57:31.26\00:57:34.60
OTHERWISE AN
OVERWHELMING IMPULSE.
00:57:34.60\00:57:37.10
HERE LIES FREEDOM, INDEED."
IN DOING WHAT YOU KNOW OUGHT TO
00:57:37.10\00:57:40.76
BE DONE IS WHERE
REAL FREEDOM COMES FROM.
00:57:40.76\00:57:43.06
IT'S IN DOING THE LAW OF
GOD AND THE WILL OF GOD, AMEN?
00:57:43.06\00:57:45.70
WELL, THERE'S MORE ABOUT THE LAW
OF JESUS AND - PLEASE SEND FOR
00:57:45.70\00:57:49.00
THE FREE RESOURCE THAT
IS CALLED, 'A LOVE THAT
00:57:49.00\00:57:51.30
TRANSFORMS.' IT'S
866-STUDY-MORE - 866-STUDY-MORE.
00:57:51.30\00:57:55.73
WE'LL SEND YOU THAT STUDY GUIDE.
00:57:55.73\00:57:57.76
GOD BLESS YOU UNTIL WE
STUDY TOGETHER AGAIN NEXT WEEK.
00:57:57.76\00:58:02.76
(MUSIC)
00:58:02.76\00:58:03.76
