The Book of
Philippians Chapter 2,
00:00:31.53\00:00:35.99
tells us about our Lord
00:00:36.02\00:00:38.97
this humble Jesus
00:00:39.00\00:00:41.25
that because of what He did,
00:00:41.28\00:00:43.49
"that God exalted
him to the highest place
00:00:43.52\00:00:48.17
and gave Him the name
that is above every name,
00:00:48.20\00:00:52.38
that at the very name of Jesus
00:00:52.41\00:00:55.29
every knee should bow,
00:00:55.32\00:00:57.10
in heaven and on earth
00:00:57.13\00:00:59.08
and under the earth,
00:00:59.11\00:01:00.14
and every tongue confess
that Jesus Christ is Lord,
00:01:00.17\00:01:04.67
to the glory of God the Father."

00:04:52.94\00:04:58.80
Your only Son, no sin to hide
00:05:22.73\00:05:28.75
But You have sent
Him from Your side
00:05:28.78\00:05:34.45
To walk upon this guilty sod
00:05:34.48\00:05:40.39
And to become the Lamb of God
00:05:40.42\00:05:45.58
Your gift of love they crucified
00:05:48.83\00:05:54.45
They laughed and
scorned Him as He died
00:05:54.48\00:06:00.15
The humble King
they named a fraud
00:06:00.18\00:06:05.88
And sacrificed the Lamb of God
00:06:05.91\00:06:11.65
Oh, Lamb of God,
sweet Lamb of God
00:06:11.68\00:06:17.41
I love the holy Lamb of God
00:06:17.44\00:06:22.90
Oh, wash me in
His precious blood
00:06:22.93\00:06:28.75
My Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God
00:06:28.78\00:06:33.95
I was so lost,
I should have died
00:06:52.29\00:06:58.03
But You have
brought me to Your side
00:06:58.06\00:07:03.66
To be led by Your staff and rod
00:07:03.69\00:07:09.54
And to be called a Lamb of God
00:07:09.57\00:07:15.00
Oh, Lamb of God,
sweet Lamb of God
00:07:15.03\00:07:20.96
I love the holy Lamb of God
00:07:20.99\00:07:26.36
Oh, wash me in
His precious blood
00:07:26.39\00:07:32.02
My Jesus,
Christ, the Lamb of God
00:07:32.05\00:07:37.43
Oh, Lamb of God,
sweet Lamb of God
00:07:37.46\00:07:43.03
I love the holy Lamb of God
00:07:43.06\00:07:48.49
Oh, wash me in
His precious blood
00:07:48.52\00:07:54.13
My Jesus,
Christ, the Lamb of God
00:07:54.16\00:08:00.85
Glory, hallelujah,
00:08:51.50\00:08:56.52
Heavenly father
00:08:56.55\00:09:01.21
I will give the glory,
00:09:01.24\00:09:04.44
Lord to you!
00:09:04.47\00:09:06.87
Marvelous and glorious,
00:09:10.51\00:09:15.30
loving Creator
00:09:15.33\00:09:20.03
I will give the
glory, Lord to you!
00:09:20.06\00:09:24.99
Be exalted, be exalted
00:09:28.80\00:09:31.47
Let your name be
lifted up forever
00:09:31.50\00:09:36.28
God unchanging,
you're my Lord and Savior
00:09:36.31\00:09:41.07
I will give the
glory, Lord to you!
00:09:41.10\00:09:47.43
God almighty God almighty
00:09:47.46\00:09:50.31
The heavens and the
earth belong to you, Lord
00:09:50.34\00:09:54.76
The sun, the moon, the stars,
the seas they're yours Lord
00:09:54.79\00:09:59.59
I will give the
glory, Lord to you!
00:09:59.62\00:10:01.86
Glory, Lord to you!
00:10:01.89\00:10:04.57
[Singing in foreign language]
00:10:24.99\00:10:28.15
Let's pray together.
00:13:12.53\00:13:15.50
Oh, God, that's,
that's the bottom line
00:13:15.53\00:13:18.62
on this last Sabbath
00:13:18.65\00:13:21.71
of another year on this campus
00:13:21.74\00:13:25.48
but the glory be to You alone.
00:13:25.51\00:13:29.24
As we make that
confession and testimony
00:13:34.89\00:13:38.73
would you say something
to us in return please,
00:13:38.76\00:13:42.97
something that will
take us from here to there
00:13:43.00\00:13:47.69
for the glory of
our Lord Jesus Christ.
00:13:47.72\00:13:51.09
We pray in His name, amen.
00:13:51.12\00:13:54.39
I want to crunch
some numbers with you.
00:13:58.14\00:14:01.68
For the sake of illustration
let's pretend you are a fervent
00:14:01.71\00:14:07.17
and passionate
Muslim, all right.
00:14:07.20\00:14:12.31
And that's also a soon that
part of that fervent passion
00:14:12.34\00:14:16.98
is that you are committed
00:14:17.01\00:14:18.04
to reproducing
yourself once a year.
00:14:18.07\00:14:21.19
I, He every single year
00:14:21.22\00:14:25.24
you will invest the
energies in another human being
00:14:25.27\00:14:27.93
so that other human
being will become as fervent
00:14:27.96\00:14:31.06
and passionate as
you are as a Muslim.
00:14:31.09\00:14:35.58
Let's do the arithmetic.
00:14:35.61\00:14:36.64
How long would it take
you to reach the entire world?
00:14:36.67\00:14:41.39
Okay year one
00:14:41.42\00:14:43.21
we just do right up
here we do it on our fingers.
00:14:43.24\00:14:45.80
Year one and you
reproduce yourself
00:14:45.83\00:14:48.45
what we have at the
end of the year one, two.
00:14:48.48\00:14:52.54
Year two if you both go
on and reproduce yourselves
00:14:52.57\00:14:55.56
what will we have at
the end of the year two?
00:14:55.59\00:14:57.67
Four.
00:14:57.70\00:14:58.73
Fervent Muslim year
one has now become four.
00:14:58.76\00:15:02.04
Year three will have eight.
Year four we will have 16.
00:15:02.07\00:15:09.20
Well, we want to
go up to year 10.
00:15:09.23\00:15:11.14
Year four will have 16.
Year five we will have 32.
00:15:11.17\00:15:15.60
Year six we will have 64.
00:15:15.63\00:15:18.49
Year seven we will have 128.
00:15:18.52\00:15:21.64
Year eight we will have 256.
00:15:21.67\00:15:24.76
Year nine we will have 512.
00:15:24.79\00:15:28.23
Year ten we will have
00:15:28.26\00:15:30.36
what began as one
fervent passionate Muslim
00:15:30.39\00:15:33.63
by year ten has
become 1, 024 Muslims.
00:15:33.66\00:15:40.15
And if we keep
going, watch this by year 20
00:15:40.18\00:15:46.76
and by the way Gary Burdick
00:15:46.79\00:15:47.91
physicist at Andrews University
has certified these numbers
00:15:47.94\00:15:50.42
so they are true.
00:15:50.45\00:15:52.95
Yep, he did.
00:15:52.98\00:15:54.51
By year 20 you reach a million.
00:15:54.54\00:15:57.65
Take it 20 years you start out
as one fervent passionate Muslim
00:15:57.68\00:16:01.57
by year 20 there
will be one million.
00:16:01.60\00:16:03.70
By year 30 there
will be one billion
00:16:03.73\00:16:08.07
and by year 35
00:16:08.10\00:16:10.11
you would have become five times
the population of planet earth.
00:16:10.14\00:16:15.28
What's going on, guys?
00:16:15.31\00:16:17.15
It's called
geometric progression.
00:16:17.18\00:16:19.95
You mathematic types
know all about it, don't you?
00:16:19.98\00:16:22.52
Yep, geometric progression.
00:16:22.55\00:16:24.07
You medical types
also know about it
00:16:24.10\00:16:25.68
because that's
the way virus behaves.
00:16:25.71\00:16:27.78
A virus works in the paradigm
of geometric progression.
00:16:27.81\00:16:31.16
Common cold is
caused by a virus.
00:16:31.19\00:16:32.80
So you sneeze on
me, I sneeze on her,
00:16:32.83\00:16:35.39
she sneezes on him and
overnight we can infect
00:16:35.42\00:16:37.79
an entire swath of the populace.
00:16:37.82\00:16:41.01
Geometric progression.
00:16:41.04\00:16:42.43
But here is good news,
00:16:42.46\00:16:43.73
you don't have to
be a mathematics type,
00:16:43.76\00:16:45.14
you don't have to a medical
type in order for this to work.
00:16:45.17\00:16:47.79
You don't have to even
be a Muslim for it to work.
00:16:47.82\00:16:50.19
You can't be a Christian
00:16:50.22\00:16:52.23
a Seventh-day
Adventist Christian at that
00:16:52.26\00:16:54.62
and in less than
half of your life time
00:16:54.65\00:16:57.42
you can infect the
human race five times
00:16:57.45\00:17:01.75
unless an half a
life time in 35 years.
00:17:01.78\00:17:04.89
You say, impossible.
00:17:04.92\00:17:07.46
It seems right, it
seems that way doesn't it?
00:17:07.49\00:17:09.27
But there is an obscure
line that you haven't read
00:17:09.30\00:17:11.72
I bet in all your life
that's in the Old Testament.
00:17:11.75\00:17:15.12
You may be read through it
but you haven't stop there.
00:17:15.15\00:17:18.04
I want to go to that
line the old Book of Isaiah
00:17:18.07\00:17:22.37
I want to take you to this line.
00:17:22.40\00:17:23.49
This is, this is
gonna blow your socks off
00:17:23.52\00:17:27.95
Isaiah Chapter 60,
00:17:27.98\00:17:29.44
if you didn't bring a
Bible you got to see this
00:17:29.47\00:17:31.10
pull out the Bible that's
in the pew rack in front of you
00:17:31.13\00:17:33.19
it will be the same
translation that mine is
00:17:33.22\00:17:35.57
which should be the
New King James Version
00:17:35.60\00:17:37.35
and if you do pull that one out
00:17:37.38\00:17:38.81
the page number
will be page 501.
00:17:38.84\00:17:41.90
All right, 501
Isaiah Chapter 60.
00:17:41.93\00:17:47.32
See there whatever
translation you have
00:17:47.35\00:17:50.72
this is amazing,
amazing, amazing.
00:17:50.75\00:17:52.97
Isaiah 60:22 the
last line of Isaiah 60
00:17:53.00\00:17:56.01
watch this and "A little
one shall become" how many?
00:17:56.04\00:18:01.10
"A thousand, and a
small one a strong nation.
00:18:01.13\00:18:06.21
For I, the Lord, will
hasten it in its time."
00:18:06.24\00:18:09.70
What's going on here?
00:18:09.73\00:18:10.88
Talked a way in the single
obscure Old Testament line
00:18:10.91\00:18:13.78
are two incredible realities.
00:18:13.81\00:18:16.84
If you will grasp
these two realities
00:18:16.87\00:18:19.75
it will breathe a whole new wind
of fresh hope into your future
00:18:19.78\00:18:24.79
because I got to
tell you some I--
00:18:24.82\00:18:26.13
be honest with you I have worry,
00:18:26.16\00:18:27.90
I have afraid about the feature,
the feature on its planet.
00:18:27.93\00:18:30.95
I mean how, how
was God gonna do it?
00:18:30.98\00:18:33.20
How is God gonna
reach the entire world?
00:18:33.23\00:18:34.84
It can't be done.
00:18:34.87\00:18:36.20
I mean, you just
do the arithmetic
00:18:36.23\00:18:37.53
here some more numbers,
00:18:37.56\00:18:38.59
in case you haven't heard
this numbers may I run this by?
00:18:38.62\00:18:40.79
Every single
second on planet earth
00:18:40.82\00:18:44.06
guess how many babies
are born every single second?
00:18:44.09\00:18:47.64
Four, four babies
00:18:47.67\00:18:50.35
every single
second on planet earth
00:18:50.38\00:18:52.76
two human beings die
00:18:52.79\00:18:55.26
leaving a net
growth of two per second.
00:18:55.29\00:18:58.37
Every six days that
produces one million people
00:18:58.40\00:19:01.00
and every year 60
million people are added
00:19:01.03\00:19:04.78
to the log of the human race.
00:19:04.81\00:19:06.75
We can't even keep up
with the people who are alive
00:19:06.78\00:19:09.51
much less reaching
those who are still coming.
00:19:09.54\00:19:12.23
How in the world
is God gonna do it?
00:19:12.26\00:19:14.78
Impossible. Oh, it's true.
00:19:14.81\00:19:17.19
I'd memories, I'd memories
the commands Matthew 24:14
00:19:17.22\00:19:20.88
"And this gospel of the
kingdom will be preached
00:19:20.91\00:19:22.40
in all the world as a
witness to all the nations,
00:19:22.43\00:19:24.36
and then shall
the end will come."
00:19:24.39\00:19:26.42
I'd memories those last
words of Matthew 28: 19, 20
00:19:26.45\00:19:30.69
"Go therefore and make
disciples of all the nations,
00:19:30.72\00:19:32.93
baptizing them in
the name of the Father
00:19:32.96\00:19:34.93
and of the Son
and of the" Holy Ghost
00:19:34.96\00:19:36.75
"'Holy Spirit,
teaching them to observe
00:19:36.78\00:19:38.80
every things I
have commanded you
00:19:38.83\00:19:39.89
and lo, I am with you always,
00:19:39.92\00:19:41.23
even to the end
of the age.' Amen."
00:19:41.26\00:19:43.44
But the problem is guys
00:19:43.47\00:19:45.68
how you gonna
put an Amen on that.
00:19:45.71\00:19:47.80
Come on with the
numbers that we just looked at.
00:19:47.83\00:19:50.39
Impossible.
00:19:50.42\00:19:52.24
Until I discovered two
rather obscure realities,
00:19:52.27\00:19:59.12
two uncommon phrases
00:19:59.15\00:20:02.62
tucked away in our Bible,
00:20:02.65\00:20:04.44
the realities of
which are tucked away.
00:20:04.47\00:20:07.37
If you will discover these
two and I'm telling you what
00:20:07.40\00:20:10.02
here is the last
Sabbath of the school year
00:20:10.05\00:20:11.77
I can't think two phrases
00:20:11.80\00:20:13.25
that can energies
and ignite your future
00:20:13.28\00:20:16.09
greater than these two.
00:20:16.12\00:20:17.15
Let me show in them
with you two uncommon phrases
00:20:17.18\00:20:19.87
and I will make
you this promise,
00:20:19.90\00:20:20.93
by the grace of
the Lord Jesus Christ
00:20:20.96\00:20:22.78
grasp reality of
these two uncommon phrases
00:20:22.81\00:20:25.10
and you will never be
00:20:25.13\00:20:26.56
the same again ever,
ever. Let's write them down.
00:20:26.59\00:20:30.04
Take your study guide out please
00:20:30.07\00:20:31.64
from your
worship bulletin today.
00:20:31.67\00:20:33.26
Take out study guide.
00:20:33.29\00:20:34.74
Its right there
brand new one ready to go.
00:20:34.77\00:20:36.82
Now ushers, let's
get some because I see
00:20:36.85\00:20:39.67
lot of people
have got in without,
00:20:39.70\00:20:41.09
without their worship bulletin.
00:20:41.12\00:20:42.62
So hold your hand up I
want to make sure you get this.
00:20:42.65\00:20:46.34
This will be material
you can brood on later
00:20:46.37\00:20:47.77
you can pass it on, pass it on.
00:20:47.80\00:20:50.27
And while the ushers doing now
00:20:50.30\00:20:51.33
don't forget
the balcony, ushers.
00:20:51.36\00:20:52.76
I want to say to those
of you were watching on
00:20:52.79\00:20:54.25
television right now
or listening on the radio.
00:20:54.28\00:20:56.35
You got a website let me
put it on the screen for you.
00:20:56.38\00:20:58.84
There it is www.pmchurch,
Pioneer Memorial Church
00:20:58.87\00:21:03.64
pmchurch.tv that's our TV app.
00:21:03.67\00:21:07.01
And to the website
and click on the series
00:21:07.04\00:21:09.91
this is the last of the
series "Mercy Came a Runnin',
00:21:09.94\00:21:13.29
Mercy Came a Runnin'.
00:21:13.32\00:21:15.98
I have been teaching to
class at the theological seminar
00:21:16.01\00:21:17.82
at this semester it's
a very concentrate class
00:21:17.85\00:21:19.75
we did it in five weeks.
00:21:19.78\00:21:21.52
And these guys been begging me,
00:21:21.55\00:21:22.87
begging me please
Dwight, don't have a final.
00:21:22.90\00:21:24.84
Please, don't have a final.
00:21:24.87\00:21:26.52
And the last day
I came into class
00:21:26.55\00:21:27.58
and they wrote it on the screen
00:21:27.61\00:21:29.05
regarding the final
Mercy Came a Runnin'.
00:21:29.08\00:21:33.20
Well, guys, I
just want to advice you
00:21:33.23\00:21:34.55
because I see a
bunch of them here
00:21:34.58\00:21:35.61
you just better
show up Tuesday 2 o'clock
00:21:35.64\00:21:38.55
because we will be in San Jose.
00:21:38.58\00:21:40.44
Okay, Mercy Came a
Runnin' today comes to an end.
00:21:40.47\00:21:42.27
The title of today's
teaching "Mercy Comes,
00:21:42.30\00:21:44.56
Mercy Goes."
00:21:44.59\00:21:45.62
Mercy Comes and Mercy Goes.
00:21:45.65\00:21:47.30
You see study guide talking
you watching on television
00:21:47.33\00:21:50.04
you see study guide
there at the website
00:21:50.07\00:21:51.76
click there you got
the same study guide.
00:21:51.79\00:21:53.69
Let's go.
00:21:53.72\00:21:54.75
Two uncommon phrases
with one uncommon truth.
00:21:54.78\00:21:58.18
Uncommon phrase
number one, write it down,
00:21:58.21\00:22:00.06
we just talked about
it geometric progression.
00:22:00.09\00:22:02.83
Write in the word, progression.
00:22:02.86\00:22:04.99
Let's go back to Isaiah 60
00:22:05.02\00:22:06.86
the last line of
Isaiah 60 again Isaiah 60:22,
00:22:06.89\00:22:10.27
"And a little one
shall become a thousand,
00:22:10.30\00:22:13.48
and a small one
a strong nation."
00:22:13.51\00:22:15.76
For I, the Lord, will hasten it
00:22:15.79\00:22:19.00
"I, the Lord, will
hasten it in its time."
00:22:19.03\00:22:21.00
Geo-- you know
geometric progression is
00:22:21.03\00:22:23.81
we just illustrated it--
00:22:23.84\00:22:25.24
it's an exponential
explosion of numbers they just--
00:22:25.27\00:22:30.10
they multiply faster
and faster and faster
00:22:30.13\00:22:32.86
that's geometric progression.
00:22:32.89\00:22:34.91
You start with just a little one
00:22:34.94\00:22:36.40
just start with
little one and God says
00:22:36.43\00:22:38.70
you gonna have a thousand
that's geometric progression.
00:22:38.73\00:22:41.95
Let's return to the
opening scenario for a moment
00:22:41.98\00:22:46.06
whether you are an odd Muslim
00:22:46.09\00:22:47.97
and it could be
some are watching
00:22:48.00\00:22:49.04
on the television right now
00:22:49.07\00:22:50.10
whether you are an odd Muslim
or you are an odd Christian
00:22:50.13\00:22:52.30
doesn't matter to me.
00:22:52.33\00:22:53.36
Let's just go
back to the scenario.
00:22:53.39\00:22:55.90
In order for this
geometric progression to work
00:22:55.93\00:22:57.86
it presupposes
that there are gonna be
00:22:57.89\00:22:59.71
two commitments
that you will make.
00:22:59.74\00:23:01.92
Jot these commitments down.
00:23:01.95\00:23:02.98
You got to make
these commitments.
00:23:03.01\00:23:04.04
Commitment number one,
you will make a fervent,
00:23:04.07\00:23:06.39
passionate
commitment to your Lord.
00:23:06.42\00:23:08.54
You want to call
Him Allah, that's fine.
00:23:08.57\00:23:10.62
You want to call
Him God, that's fine.
00:23:10.65\00:23:12.26
You want to call
Him Lord, that's fine.
00:23:12.29\00:23:14.12
But you may personally make a,
00:23:14.15\00:23:16.24
a fervent and passionate
commitment to your Lord.
00:23:16.27\00:23:18.55
And number two, you
also have to make a fervent,
00:23:18.58\00:23:21.39
passionate commitment to
reproduce yourself once a year.
00:23:21.42\00:23:25.92
Now that's a key,
you got to do that.
00:23:25.95\00:23:29.27
If you do the numbers work.
00:23:29.30\00:23:31.66
In fact, I want to
jot this numbers down
00:23:31.69\00:23:33.02
because you gonna
share this with others.
00:23:33.05\00:23:34.35
Lets just, let's
just do it again.
00:23:34.38\00:23:35.81
We won't go all
the way up to ten.
00:23:35.84\00:23:37.00
Year one, you are gonna--
00:23:37.03\00:23:38.58
the year will
end with two of you.
00:23:38.61\00:23:40.19
Year two, it will
end with four of you.
00:23:40.22\00:23:41.90
Year three, it will
end with eight of you.
00:23:41.93\00:23:43.79
Now let's skip-- let's go
to 10 write it down 1,024.
00:23:43.82\00:23:49.92
Just as passion is you
will be there 10 years later.
00:23:49.95\00:23:53.12
Write it down
year 20, one million.
00:23:53.15\00:23:56.56
In 20 years little old
you will become one million
00:23:56.59\00:23:59.74
and by year 30 you
become one billion, one billion.
00:23:59.77\00:24:05.44
Add just five more years
you will infect the earth
00:24:05.47\00:24:08.80
five times over five
times of population of earth
00:24:08.83\00:24:11.14
by year 35.
00:24:11.17\00:24:12.20
Isn't that amazing?
00:24:12.23\00:24:14.79
You say, oh, come on pastor,
that really work that way?
00:24:14.82\00:24:18.97
Yes, it does.
00:24:19.00\00:24:20.03
It's called
geometric progression,
00:24:20.06\00:24:21.41
precisely Isaiah's point.
00:24:21.44\00:24:23.28
In fact, let's put this
from the New Living Translation
00:24:23.31\00:24:26.89
and you have to fill it in.
00:24:26.92\00:24:27.96
I like that some of you
brought the NLT to church.
00:24:27.99\00:24:30.48
The smallest
family will multiply.
00:24:30.51\00:24:33.29
See geometric progression is
involved with multiplication.
00:24:33.32\00:24:35.82
"The smallest
family will multiply
00:24:35.85\00:24:37.81
into a large" of thousand.
00:24:37.84\00:24:40.24
The Hebrew says "a large clan.
00:24:40.27\00:24:41.74
The tiniest group will
become a mighty nation.
00:24:41.77\00:24:44.28
I, the Lord, will bring it
all the pass at the right time."
00:24:44.31\00:24:49.10
Now what's gonna happen?
00:24:49.13\00:24:50.16
This has to be
born out of a fervent,
00:24:50.19\00:24:51.81
passionate
commitment to the Lord
00:24:51.84\00:24:53.21
and a fervent,
passionate commitment
00:24:53.24\00:24:54.88
to reproduce
yourself once every year.
00:24:54.91\00:24:57.22
And here comes the caviar,
here's a caviar of course,
00:24:57.25\00:25:00.80
of course it can break down.
00:25:00.83\00:25:03.95
Because this assumes
00:25:03.98\00:25:05.43
that you will be fervent
and passionate every year.
00:25:05.46\00:25:08.43
If you say, no, I'm
taking this year off
00:25:08.46\00:25:09.69
I am not gonna be fervent
and passion it won't work.
00:25:09.72\00:25:12.81
This also assumes that
every body you bring in
00:25:12.84\00:25:15.56
to your Lord
00:25:15.59\00:25:16.72
will be as
fervent and passion as you
00:25:16.75\00:25:19.09
to make a
commitment to reproduce
00:25:19.12\00:25:21.24
him or herself once a year.
00:25:21.27\00:25:23.52
Anywhere along the
way you can stop it
00:25:23.55\00:25:25.35
meltdown the things ends.
00:25:25.38\00:25:26.95
I understand that
00:25:26.98\00:25:29.54
which way is
ladies and gentlemen,
00:25:29.57\00:25:33.22
uncommon phrase number one.
00:25:33.25\00:25:34.99
Would you write this down?
00:25:35.02\00:25:36.05
Uncommon phrase
number one, is insufficient.
00:25:36.08\00:25:39.34
You can't do it.
00:25:39.37\00:25:40.75
Just with
uncommon phrase number one,
00:25:40.78\00:25:42.50
you have to have
uncommon phrase number two
00:25:42.53\00:25:45.39
those two harness together
00:25:45.42\00:25:47.99
are they explosive formula
00:25:48.02\00:25:50.00
with an uncommon truth
to end the school year?
00:25:50.03\00:25:53.94
And so would you write
it down uncommon phrase
00:25:53.97\00:25:55.33
number two, what is it?
00:25:55.36\00:25:56.39
It's called divine
passive, the divine passive.
00:25:56.42\00:26:01.92
So what in the world is
that? Well, let's find out.
00:26:01.95\00:26:04.15
Go back to verse 22 Isaiah 60.
00:26:04.18\00:26:06.75
"A little one
shall become a thousand,
00:26:06.78\00:26:08.92
and a small one a strong nation.
00:26:08.95\00:26:12.26
For I, the Lord, will
hasten it in its time."
00:26:12.29\00:26:15.67
Now geometric
progression is hinted
00:26:15.70\00:26:16.93
in the first half the
verse, one becomes the thousand
00:26:16.96\00:26:19.52
and the divine passive
is hinted in the last half.
00:26:19.55\00:26:23.15
I, the Lord, I will
hasten it in its time.
00:26:23.18\00:26:26.95
What's the divine passive?
00:26:26.98\00:26:28.37
You say, oh, come on I
have heard this something that
00:26:28.40\00:26:30.11
something out of
this seminary probably.
00:26:30.14\00:26:33.64
Write it down, now
here is the definition
00:26:33.67\00:26:34.90
for the divine passive.
00:26:34.93\00:26:35.99
It's a Hebrew grammatical device
00:26:36.02\00:26:38.78
in which the
action of the passive verb
00:26:38.81\00:26:42.68
is understood to be
accomplished by God himself.
00:26:42.71\00:26:47.07
Now I know that those of
you they have freshmen comp
00:26:47.10\00:26:49.10
behind you now
are saying please,
00:26:49.13\00:26:51.42
I didn't think we get more comp
in the last Sabbath of church.
00:26:51.45\00:26:54.22
No, this is it.
00:26:54.25\00:26:56.69
I could ask you, do
you know how passive work,
00:26:56.72\00:26:58.15
do you remember passive,
00:26:58.18\00:26:59.31
remember there is active
in passive, active in passive.
00:26:59.34\00:27:02.06
How does a passive work?
00:27:02.09\00:27:03.12
Okay, let me
give you the active.
00:27:03.15\00:27:05.34
I hit the ball. All
right this is this season.
00:27:05.37\00:27:08.65
So, I hit the
ball, that's the active.
00:27:08.68\00:27:12.54
The subject acts
something happens.
00:27:12.57\00:27:14.49
But watch this, I
was, I was hit by the ball.
00:27:14.52\00:27:20.49
That's no longer active.
Subject didn't do a thing.
00:27:20.52\00:27:22.11
I was hit it happened
to me that's the passive.
00:27:22.14\00:27:25.06
Passive is a word of verb
goes back and gets the subject.
00:27:25.09\00:27:28.39
Does it go forward?
00:27:28.42\00:27:29.45
It goes backward
and gets the subject.
00:27:29.48\00:27:31.15
So, the Hebrew
define passive watch this
00:27:31.18\00:27:34.62
let's take, let's take one
of the great lines of scripture.
00:27:34.65\00:27:37.95
The first line of Genesis 2,
00:27:37.98\00:27:40.26
"Thus the heavens and the earth,
00:27:40.29\00:27:42.14
and all the host of
them, were finished."
00:27:42.17\00:27:47.75
There is a passive
verb there do you--
00:27:47.78\00:27:49.52
what's the passive
verb come on, scholars.
00:27:49.55\00:27:51.77
What's the passive
verb, we are finished.
00:27:51.80\00:27:54.08
Heavens and earth
every thing were finished.
00:27:54.11\00:27:56.44
By whom?
00:27:56.47\00:27:57.92
Don't say, no, no, don't say
00:27:57.95\00:28:00.13
but that's a
Hebrew divine passive.
00:28:00.16\00:28:02.45
They write as we
use the passive to mean
00:28:02.48\00:28:04.82
that in fact, as
Genesis 1 has already told us
00:28:04.85\00:28:07.21
the actor here of
the accomplishment
00:28:07.24\00:28:09.41
is God himself.
00:28:09.44\00:28:10.81
See the divine passive
means God is the actor.
00:28:10.84\00:28:13.33
He is left out of
it. Let's do another one.
00:28:13.36\00:28:15.48
John 19:30 Jesus
Christ out on the cross
00:28:15.51\00:28:19.01
"It is finished."
00:28:19.04\00:28:22.35
Now one of our
scholars came up to me
00:28:22.38\00:28:23.84
after a first
church is said Dwight,
00:28:23.87\00:28:25.22
you know that's
English and its not passive
00:28:25.25\00:28:27.04
it's the Greek
the Greek is passive.
00:28:27.07\00:28:31.27
No it doesn't
say who finished it.
00:28:31.30\00:28:33.08
it just says its finished.
00:28:33.11\00:28:36.66
Understood that even
has He was the soul player
00:28:36.69\00:28:41.41
in the creation
of the human race
00:28:41.44\00:28:44.03
at the end of
our tragic rebellions
00:28:44.06\00:28:46.69
let's put the screen up,
00:28:46.72\00:28:48.48
at the end of our sad, sad story
00:28:48.51\00:28:51.84
He becomes the soul
player all over again.
00:28:51.87\00:28:55.12
Let me tell you
some, listen, listen
00:28:55.15\00:28:58.03
God gets all the credit for
our creation and our redemption.
00:28:58.06\00:29:03.92
You can't do a
thing to save yourself,
00:29:03.95\00:29:05.22
you cannot save yourself.
00:29:05.25\00:29:08.05
It takes somebody outside of you
00:29:08.08\00:29:11.05
to perform that
action and to save you.
00:29:11.08\00:29:13.29
It's a divine passive.
00:29:13.32\00:29:16.25
You say, oh, man I
am really confused now.
00:29:16.28\00:29:18.47
Hold on.
00:29:18.50\00:29:19.53
Oh, come on don't,
don't check out of me yet.
00:29:19.56\00:29:21.71
I want to share
one more text with you,
00:29:21.74\00:29:23.12
this is explosive.
00:29:23.15\00:29:24.18
When you see it in this text
00:29:24.21\00:29:25.62
you see why
it's such great news.
00:29:25.65\00:29:27.35
Let's go to that text
00:29:27.38\00:29:28.92
that I quoted just a
moment ago from Mathew 24,
00:29:28.95\00:29:31.98
because Mathew has been our
theme book all this series long
00:29:32.01\00:29:36.87
so let's go back
I'll end up on this one.
00:29:36.90\00:29:38.48
Matthew 24, if you
have a Red Letter Bible
00:29:38.51\00:29:41.78
these words are
gonna be bright red
00:29:41.81\00:29:43.14
because this is just a few hours
00:29:43.17\00:29:45.38
just a three days
before Jesus is executed,
00:29:45.41\00:29:48.37
before the "It is
finished" is declared
00:29:48.40\00:29:50.43
that God has accomplished
the salvation of the human race.
00:29:50.46\00:29:55.64
Chapter 24 drop
down to verse 14,
00:29:55.67\00:30:00.49
Matthew 24:14
00:30:00.52\00:30:01.97
"And this gospel of
the kingdom" will be what?
00:30:02.00\00:30:06.65
Passive, passive, passive see,
00:30:06.68\00:30:08.66
it acts back on the gospel.
00:30:08.69\00:30:10.30
"And this gospel of the
kingdom will be preached
00:30:10.33\00:30:13.44
in all the world as a
witness to all the nations,
00:30:13.47\00:30:17.81
and then the end comes."
00:30:17.84\00:30:21.21
Passive verb.
00:30:21.24\00:30:24.71
My friend Ranko Stefanovic,
00:30:24.74\00:30:26.47
chair of the religion department
here at Andrews University
00:30:26.50\00:30:29.33
in his commentary on
the Book of Revelation,
00:30:29.36\00:30:32.57
he is the one
that taught me this
00:30:32.60\00:30:33.63
when I was reading
his commentary through.
00:30:33.66\00:30:35.57
He said this is divine
passive. You think about it.
00:30:35.60\00:30:38.85
Jesus could have
said and hey you guys
00:30:38.88\00:30:41.11
hey, you, you, you,
00:30:41.14\00:30:42.33
you will preach the
Gospel all over the world
00:30:42.36\00:30:44.50
and when you are
through then I come.
00:30:44.53\00:30:46.81
He could say
that but He does it.
00:30:46.84\00:30:49.12
He leaves us
completely out of the picture
00:30:49.15\00:30:50.87
and He just says by the way
00:30:50.90\00:30:52.28
the gospel is
gonna get preached,
00:30:52.31\00:30:53.52
it will be preached
and then I will come.
00:30:53.55\00:30:56.85
The divine passive
00:30:56.88\00:30:58.50
because what is the
divine passive mean,
00:30:58.53\00:31:00.49
what is it what's the
hint of the divine passive,
00:31:00.52\00:31:03.06
who is doing the
action? God is doing the action.
00:31:03.09\00:31:06.60
Good news, Jesus says,
hey guys you been sitting
00:31:06.63\00:31:09.40
around worried
about who is gonna finish,
00:31:09.43\00:31:11.11
who is gonna finish God's work?
00:31:11.14\00:31:12.51
I got some great
news for you, God will.
00:31:12.54\00:31:16.17
I will finish my work
myself, the divine passive.
00:31:16.20\00:31:22.83
We just precisely what
we just read in Isaiah 60:22
00:31:22.86\00:31:26.86
when God declares I the
Lord will hasten it in its time.
00:31:26.89\00:31:30.64
Listen to me God says,
I'm gonna do it in the end.
00:31:30.67\00:31:34.13
I will do the whole thing
trust Me, all I need is one,
00:31:34.16\00:31:37.80
I need one of you.
00:31:37.83\00:31:39.31
Will you be the volunteer?
00:31:39.34\00:31:40.48
I just need give me
one, just give me one.
00:31:40.51\00:31:42.80
If you will have a
fervent, passion for me,
00:31:42.83\00:31:45.16
if you will have fervent,
passion for the good news
00:31:45.19\00:31:47.77
the everlasting
Gospel I promise you
00:31:47.80\00:31:49.80
I can take you boy, girl,
00:31:49.83\00:31:51.91
I can take you and out of
you I'm gonna make a thousand.
00:31:51.94\00:31:54.93
You just give me you.
00:31:54.96\00:31:57.10
What you gonna be
when you get out of here?
00:31:57.13\00:31:58.36
A doctor, that
if Jessica doctor.
00:31:58.39\00:32:02.25
You're gonna be nurse,
you're gonna be a teacher,
00:32:02.28\00:32:06.43
you're gonna be a preacher,
00:32:06.46\00:32:08.26
you're gonna be farmer,
you're gonna be plumber.
00:32:08.29\00:32:10.12
I don't care God says
it doesn't matter to Me
00:32:10.15\00:32:12.80
what you choose to
become I just need you.
00:32:12.83\00:32:16.02
Give me you, just you
00:32:16.05\00:32:19.50
and I will take
geometric progression
00:32:19.53\00:32:21.66
and I will take
the divine passive
00:32:21.69\00:32:23.51
and you know what, I will
reach an entire civilization
00:32:23.54\00:32:27.31
in less than a
half of a life time.
00:32:27.34\00:32:31.81
Wow.
00:32:31.84\00:32:32.87
Jot it down will you
Isaiah 60:22 and Matthew 24:14
00:32:32.90\00:32:38.12
"Are God's promise to
combine 'geometric progression'
00:32:38.15\00:32:41.83
and the 'divine passive'
00:32:41.86\00:32:44.11
to reach an entire civilization
in half a generation.
00:32:44.14\00:32:49.83
Half a
generation, half of life time,
00:32:49.86\00:32:52.82
35 years I can do
it just like that.
00:32:52.85\00:32:55.56
And by the way, by the
way, He can do it quickly.
00:32:55.59\00:32:59.60
He doesn't have to
wait half of life time.
00:32:59.63\00:33:01.77
In fact, fill it in
your study guide Isaiah 60:22
00:33:01.80\00:33:04.85
for "I the Lord, will hasten"
write in that word hasten.
00:33:04.88\00:33:07.93
He can do it fast just like that
00:33:07.96\00:33:11.65
just like Mother
Nature by the way.
00:33:11.68\00:33:13.25
Just like Mother
Nature. How did you like that?
00:33:13.28\00:33:15.96
Did you, did you
hear the ominous whale
00:33:15.99\00:33:18.27
of the tornados
sirens on Thursday
00:33:18.30\00:33:21.11
wouldn't that something.
00:33:21.14\00:33:22.38
Wow, just like that
weather patterns change
00:33:22.41\00:33:27.11
and well hadn't to the basement.
00:33:27.14\00:33:28.41
Where would you go,
even outside inch is,
00:33:28.44\00:33:30.80
hey, bring it
on let me see this.
00:33:30.83\00:33:33.32
I want to see it.
00:33:33.35\00:33:35.38
Take a little camera
with you and everything.
00:33:35.41\00:33:39.46
Just like weather maps
can instantaneously change
00:33:39.49\00:33:43.07
even so human events can change
00:33:43.10\00:33:45.67
and God said that I
can change this thing,
00:33:45.70\00:33:46.86
I can do this thing overnight.
00:33:46.89\00:33:47.92
Look at this Romans 9:28
"For He will God will finish"
00:33:47.95\00:33:52.16
fill it in "He
will finish the work
00:33:52.19\00:33:54.65
and cut it short
in righteousness,
00:33:54.68\00:33:57.17
because the Lord will make
a short work upon the earth."
00:33:57.20\00:34:02.94
Short, short,
short did you get that
00:34:02.97\00:34:05.29
short, short,
short, short, short.
00:34:05.32\00:34:06.99
There are no numbers
that bother God today,
00:34:07.02\00:34:09.51
bothers me because
I'm running out of time.
00:34:09.54\00:34:11.53
Bothers you
because you're saying,
00:34:11.56\00:34:12.95
how can it be possible be done?
00:34:12.98\00:34:14.03
And God says what's the problem.
00:34:14.06\00:34:15.77
I can do this
whole thing myself.
00:34:15.80\00:34:17.80
I can do it in
the short. Finish it.
00:34:17.83\00:34:21.29
I just need one,
00:34:21.32\00:34:22.40
I just need one
volunteer step forward and say,
00:34:22.43\00:34:25.84
yes Sir, you can count
me and I will take You.
00:34:25.87\00:34:28.88
You have a passion
for me, you have a passion
00:34:28.91\00:34:30.56
to reproduce the
Gospel unless others of others
00:34:30.59\00:34:32.33
I will take you come here girl,
00:34:32.36\00:34:33.59
I will take
you, I will take you.
00:34:33.62\00:34:37.08
Reminds me well, these words
written, written 100 years ago,
00:34:37.11\00:34:39.87
"There will be a
series of events"
00:34:39.90\00:34:41.31
at the end of time "a
series of events revealing
00:34:41.34\00:34:43.69
that God is the
master of the situation.
00:34:43.72\00:34:47.56
And the final
events will be rapid ones."
00:34:47.59\00:34:52.77
The day is coming
when the divine passive
00:34:52.80\00:34:54.34
will explode in the
action and by the way,
00:34:54.37\00:34:57.59
God will not only do the
work He will finish the work.
00:34:57.62\00:35:02.70
But here is the
catch, here is the catch,
00:35:02.73\00:35:04.29
now here comes, you
see, let it be clear
00:35:04.32\00:35:08.62
that "The divine
passive will not become active
00:35:08.65\00:35:12.82
while we remain
passive" won't happen.
00:35:12.85\00:35:16.86
That's the uncommon truth
from two uncommon phrases,
00:35:16.89\00:35:18.81
would you write it down please?
00:35:18.84\00:35:20.17
"The divine passive
will not become active
00:35:20.20\00:35:23.66
while we remain passive."
00:35:23.69\00:35:26.47
Can happen, cannot happen.
00:35:26.50\00:35:29.25
Keep your pen moving.
00:35:29.28\00:35:30.66
That means "Once
mercy has come runnin' to us
00:35:30.69\00:35:34.07
we must go runnnin' for him."
00:35:34.10\00:35:37.20
Because capital
M mercy is a hymn.
00:35:37.23\00:35:40.10
Yes, it is hymn.
00:35:40.13\00:35:43.24
I think the Muslim world
will began this teaching today
00:35:43.27\00:35:48.45
thinking about them
we began to school year,
00:35:48.48\00:35:50.46
did we began the
school talking about Muslims.
00:35:50.49\00:35:53.89
I think of the Muslim
world 1.4 billion of them
00:35:53.92\00:35:59.17
a people with a
fervent, passionate commitment
00:35:59.20\00:36:02.45
just watch the evening
news they got it, they got it.
00:36:02.48\00:36:06.82
People by the way whose hearts
are as broken over the mayhem
00:36:06.85\00:36:10.32
in the Middle
East as our hearts are.
00:36:10.35\00:36:13.27
I saw a piece on
60 Minutes this week
00:36:13.30\00:36:15.66
Lawyer Logan was interviewing
a Sunni Muslim father
00:36:15.69\00:36:19.63
and who told her that his
solo mission every single day
00:36:19.66\00:36:24.61
is to get his
kids safely to school
00:36:24.64\00:36:27.72
and get them home
again without being killed
00:36:27.75\00:36:31.83
on the streets of the Baghdad.
00:36:31.86\00:36:33.99
His solo mission
00:36:34.02\00:36:35.47
is to keep my little
babies alive to and from school.
00:36:35.50\00:36:42.06
Lawyer Logan then asked him,
this- how does all affect you
00:36:42.09\00:36:48.05
and that's throughout
the Middle Eastern man,
00:36:48.08\00:36:52.51
his lip began tremble
00:36:52.54\00:36:54.93
and his eyes just
welled up the tears.
00:36:54.96\00:36:59.27
He couldn't even
talk and she reached out
00:36:59.30\00:37:01.21
and touched his knee, he didn't,
he didn't need to say a word.
00:37:01.24\00:37:04.88
She knew, we knew.
00:37:04.91\00:37:07.53
I will tell you
something I understand
00:37:07.56\00:37:10.94
I know there are evil terrorists
who is cruel massacres,
00:37:10.97\00:37:14.67
besmirches the
Islamic people of earth
00:37:14.70\00:37:16.93
but we should know
more blame Islam for them
00:37:16.96\00:37:22.02
then they should blame
Christianity for the slaughter
00:37:22.05\00:37:25.08
on our campuses
and in our cities.
00:37:25.11\00:37:30.52
Tired of hearing
people going around
00:37:30.55\00:37:32.09
blaming the
religion, blaming the people,
00:37:32.12\00:37:34.17
it's a problem with the Muslims.
00:37:34.20\00:37:36.13
What do you think they
are saying about America?
00:37:36.16\00:37:37.73
That's the problem
with the Christians.
00:37:37.76\00:37:40.36
They kill each other on campus,
00:37:40.39\00:37:42.50
they kill each
other in the city.
00:37:42.53\00:37:46.83
We all have the problem
00:37:46.86\00:37:49.03
and its two words
long Human Nature.
00:37:49.06\00:37:54.54
I don't blame Muslims.
00:37:54.57\00:37:55.90
Don't you suppose that
00:37:55.93\00:37:56.96
when mercy comes
runnin' it will come runnin'
00:37:56.99\00:38:00.40
for the Islamic peoples of
earth as well, don't you think?
00:38:00.43\00:38:03.65
Now has mercy gonna, how
is mercy gonna reach them?
00:38:03.68\00:38:06.41
It will reach in the
same way mercy reached you.
00:38:06.44\00:38:08.46
You have been reached,
you got reached I don't know
00:38:08.49\00:38:10.78
how you got reached
but you got reached.
00:38:10.81\00:38:13.28
How did mercy reach you?
00:38:13.31\00:38:14.55
Took somebody to run for mercy.
00:38:14.58\00:38:16.36
Somebody came to you
on in the name of mercy.
00:38:16.39\00:38:20.81
That's Matthew
24:14 is all about
00:38:20.84\00:38:22.69
"And this gospel of the kingdom
00:38:22.72\00:38:24.43
will be preached"
divine passive we know
00:38:24.46\00:38:26.56
who they helped
them the actor is here
00:38:26.59\00:38:28.35
who will compensate it Himself.
00:38:28.38\00:38:30.05
The gospel "will be
preached in all the world
00:38:30.08\00:38:33.06
as a witness to all nations,
and then the end will come."
00:38:33.09\00:38:37.13
Does not the divine
passive include the Muslims?
00:38:37.16\00:38:40.83
Doesn't it?
00:38:40.86\00:38:41.89
Don't you think
when mercy comes runnin'
00:38:41.92\00:38:43.68
His arms will be outstretched
to the children of the east
00:38:43.71\00:38:46.65
along with the
children of the west.
00:38:46.68\00:38:49.25
Please, BUT of course
and how will mercy reach them
00:38:49.28\00:38:52.67
the same way mercy reached you.
00:38:52.70\00:38:54.62
It came runnin'
through somebody else
00:38:54.65\00:38:58.13
which is why we
began with the school year
00:38:58.16\00:39:02.95
with an altar call
and which is why today
00:39:02.98\00:39:06.61
we are ending the
school year with an altar call.
00:39:06.64\00:39:11.74
Back in September a 160
of you students came forward
00:39:11.77\00:39:16.10
and said I will go, I will go,
00:39:16.13\00:39:17.81
I will go to the Muslim world,
00:39:17.84\00:39:20.16
I will go anywhere in the world.
00:39:20.19\00:39:21.23
I will take a year
out of my education
00:39:21.26\00:39:23.46
at Andrews University and
I will go as a missionary,
00:39:23.49\00:39:25.80
I will go as a
student missionary.
00:39:25.83\00:39:28.64
This last Sabbath of the year
00:39:28.67\00:39:30.10
I would like to ask you
to recommit to that decision
00:39:30.13\00:39:33.63
you who came forward on
that Sabbath in September.
00:39:33.66\00:39:37.27
In fact, I'm not only
ask you I'm gonna ask others
00:39:37.30\00:39:39.91
who had no idea
that this last Sabbath
00:39:39.94\00:39:42.19
would be in a
pew for you to go to.
00:39:42.22\00:39:45.48
I'm gonna ask you
to think about it.
00:39:45.51\00:39:47.00
I want end to the
story and while I am reading
00:39:47.03\00:39:49.19
this little storey
you think about it.
00:39:49.22\00:39:51.56
You can go. You can go.
00:39:51.59\00:39:54.22
You don't have to go today,
you don't have to go this summer
00:39:54.25\00:39:56.06
you go and come back
to school if you wish
00:39:56.09\00:39:58.26
but you could still
take a year, you can go.
00:39:58.29\00:40:02.38
I want to end with a story
of the graveyard at Miango.
00:40:02.41\00:40:07.17
Philip Yancey in
his marvelous book,
00:40:07.20\00:40:11.23
newest book it's
on prayer, does it,
00:40:11.26\00:40:13.45
Does It Make Any Difference?
00:40:13.48\00:40:15.09
Prayer, doesn't
make any difference?
00:40:15.12\00:40:17.28
In the book he tells
us, it actually concerns--
00:40:17.31\00:40:20.62
its involves a
Michigan professor
00:40:20.65\00:40:24.07
his name is Charles Edward White
00:40:24.10\00:40:25.81
and he is been taken
some relief teaching stance
00:40:25.84\00:40:29.02
over in Nigeria a predominantly
Muslim nation by the way.
00:40:29.05\00:40:32.54
Nigeria at the
University of Jos.
00:40:32.57\00:40:35.57
Assume that's how
you pronounce it J-O-S.
00:40:35.60\00:40:41.43
One of the
release stance over there
00:40:41.46\00:40:44.30
that God just left
Yancey pick it up here.
00:40:44.33\00:40:46.64
While there, while in
Nigeria Charles Edward White,
00:40:46.67\00:40:50.48
"he visited a
mission," look at this,
00:40:50.51\00:40:52.17
"a mission
graveyard in a quiet garden
00:40:52.20\00:40:54.67
beside a chapel on
Nigeria Central Plateau.
00:40:54.70\00:40:57.43
Most of the graves,
he noticed," strange.
00:40:57.46\00:40:59.73
"Most of the graves
are, were small two and three
00:40:59.76\00:41:03.60
foot mounts to accommodate
child-sized coffins."
00:41:03.63\00:41:08.01
In fact he went
into the arithmetic.
00:41:08.04\00:41:09.66
"Thirty three of
the fifty-six graves
00:41:09.69\00:41:12.48
in fact held the
bodies of small children.
00:41:12.51\00:41:16.02
The Tombstones
went back as far as 1928
00:41:16.05\00:41:18.99
but old timers in the
mission could tell them
00:41:19.02\00:41:20.53
only the stories of
the most recent deaths."
00:41:20.56\00:41:22.89
Begin to put the
stories together.
00:41:22.92\00:41:25.14
"Two of the infants
lived just one day."
00:41:25.17\00:41:26.84
You know, so he is reading,
00:41:26.87\00:41:27.93
he is reading the headstones
or the pieces of wood.
00:41:27.96\00:41:31.40
"Others lived a few years,
00:41:31.43\00:41:32.79
falling victim to
the tropical diseases
00:41:32.82\00:41:34.45
common in that
part of the world."
00:41:34.48\00:41:35.62
Now here comes,
here comes a moment.
00:41:35.65\00:41:37.43
"Melvin Louis Goossen was
12 when he and his brothers
00:41:37.46\00:41:41.50
fell off a suspension bridge
over a rain-swollen creek.
00:41:41.53\00:41:45.10
Their missionary
father Arthur Goossen
00:41:45.13\00:41:47.66
dived into the
creek to save one son.
00:41:47.69\00:41:50.16
When he went back into
the creek to save the other
00:41:50.19\00:41:52.65
both he and Melvin drowned."
00:41:52.68\00:41:56.08
And so both are buried
in the graveyard in Miango.
00:41:56.11\00:42:02.78
Charles Edward White
eventually came back,
00:42:02.81\00:42:06.55
he wrote a piece a little
essay for Christianity Today
00:42:06.58\00:42:10.12
in which he
reflects on Gods mercy
00:42:10.15\00:42:13.39
coming out of the
story of the graveyard.
00:42:13.42\00:42:14.83
Let me, let me read
a line from that essay.
00:42:14.86\00:42:17.58
"The graveyard at Miango
tells us something about God
00:42:17.61\00:42:21.38
and about His grace."
00:42:21.41\00:42:23.80
Listen to this,
"God's grace maybe free,
00:42:23.83\00:42:26.17
but it is not cheap.
00:42:26.20\00:42:28.63
Neither purchasing our salvation
00:42:28.66\00:42:30.70
nor letting us know of
the gift was inexpensive."
00:42:30.73\00:42:33.66
Was Calvary inexpensive?
00:42:33.69\00:42:34.72
No, no, no no, no
00:42:34.75\00:42:35.78
but this the new thought for me
00:42:35.81\00:42:37.47
is not only was the
purchase done 2, 000 years ago
00:42:37.50\00:42:40.60
not only was that expensive
00:42:40.63\00:42:43.74
somebody had to
get the news to me.
00:42:43.77\00:42:46.22
I don't know
about my family tree,
00:42:46.25\00:42:47.72
I don't know about
yours but there was somebody
00:42:47.75\00:42:49.62
there is an anonymous
missionary in your life.
00:42:49.65\00:42:52.46
Someone in your family tree
00:42:52.49\00:42:53.97
and we have no idea
what it cost that missionary
00:42:54.00\00:42:56.92
in Europe and South America
00:42:56.95\00:42:58.25
and Asia and Australia
and Africa, in North America
00:42:58.28\00:43:01.05
somebody came to
your folk, your kinfolk.
00:43:01.08\00:43:04.35
Somebody came and said that
00:43:04.38\00:43:05.57
I have some good
news to pass on to you
00:43:05.60\00:43:07.43
and because of that
anonymous missionary
00:43:07.46\00:43:09.46
you are sitting here today.
00:43:09.49\00:43:11.65
Somebody came to
you. At what cost?
00:43:11.68\00:43:15.42
I have no idea only
eternity will tell us the cost.
00:43:15.45\00:43:18.99
Boy, that's a line,
00:43:19.02\00:43:21.87
"God's grace maybe
free but its not cheap.
00:43:21.90\00:43:23.59
Neither purchasing our salvation
00:43:23.62\00:43:25.08
nor letting us know of
the gift was inexpensive."
00:43:25.11\00:43:27.40
Just letting us know.
00:43:27.43\00:43:28.90
Now, listen
"Beginning with Abel,"
00:43:28.93\00:43:31.33
he goes on,
"many of the witnesses
00:43:31.36\00:43:32.80
to divine grace sealed
their words with their blood.
00:43:32.83\00:43:35.43
Jesus asked the Jews
00:43:35.46\00:43:37.26
which of the
prophets was not persecuted?
00:43:37.29\00:43:39.82
Hey guys, it's a tough life.
00:43:39.85\00:43:41.68
It's a tough life.
00:43:41.71\00:43:44.26
"When he first
sent out His disciples,
00:43:44.29\00:43:45.56
he promised them
betrayal and death.
00:43:45.59\00:43:47.39
Then, at the
end of his ministry,
00:43:47.42\00:43:48.76
he promised his followers
that as they carried his word,
00:43:48.79\00:43:50.86
they would face
trouble and hatred."
00:43:50.89\00:43:52.70
And then Charles Edward
White makes this conclusion.
00:43:52.73\00:43:56.68
"The only way we can understand
00:43:56.71\00:43:58.67
the graveyard at
Miango is to remember
00:43:58.70\00:44:01.50
that God also buried his
Son on the mission field."
00:44:01.53\00:44:07.09
That is quiet a closer.
00:44:07.12\00:44:09.01
Would you write it down please?
00:44:09.04\00:44:10.49
Write it down, "The only way
00:44:10.52\00:44:12.76
we can understand the graveyard
at Miango is to remember
00:44:12.79\00:44:19.43
that God also buried his
Son on the mission field."
00:44:19.46\00:44:24.21
Nobody said becoming a
missionary would be easy.
00:44:28.59\00:44:35.47
But of mercy has come a runnin'
to the lives of you and me
00:44:35.50\00:44:38.17
you know, at some point,
00:44:38.20\00:44:39.42
at some point we must
go runnin' for mercy too.
00:44:39.45\00:44:43.45
You see mercy comes
and then mercy goes.
00:44:43.48\00:44:46.83
It can't stay,
it just can't stay.
00:44:46.86\00:44:50.02
It got to go.
00:44:50.05\00:44:51.22
When mercy comes to
you, you must go for mercy.
00:44:51.25\00:44:58.14
And so I'd like
you to invite you
00:44:58.17\00:44:59.20
to go for mercy
on behalf of mercy.
00:44:59.23\00:45:04.26
I'd like to
invite you to consider,
00:45:04.29\00:45:06.59
you may never have
considered this before
00:45:06.62\00:45:08.02
but I'd like to invite you
to open up yourself to mercy
00:45:08.05\00:45:11.57
and say, you know what,
I'm willing to go for you.
00:45:11.60\00:45:15.10
I'm willing to-- little owe me.
00:45:15.13\00:45:19.31
If you can turn one into
a thousand I'd go for you.
00:45:19.34\00:45:22.43
If you do the
work I'll go for you.
00:45:22.46\00:45:25.10
And some I want to
end with an altar call,
00:45:25.13\00:45:26.39
I want to invite those
who came forward in September
00:45:26.42\00:45:29.58
to come forward
again to recommit yourself.
00:45:29.61\00:45:32.61
Somebody have going right away.
00:45:32.64\00:45:34.60
Japhet De
Oliveira of the chaplain
00:45:34.63\00:45:36.56
in charge of
missions has told me,
00:45:36.59\00:45:38.02
said Dwight, you
got 27 going right now,
00:45:38.05\00:45:40.45
you got three waiting
till the, end of the summer,
00:45:40.48\00:45:44.61
rest planning the next year,
00:45:44.64\00:45:47.41
if you came forward in September
to the Muslim world fine,
00:45:47.44\00:45:51.69
not to the Muslim
world anywhere in the world
00:45:51.72\00:45:53.51
but if you'd be willing to say,
00:45:53.54\00:45:55.51
I'll go for mercy
as a student missionary
00:45:55.54\00:46:00.71
I like to invite you
to come forward right now.
00:46:00.74\00:46:04.52
Commit yourself right now.
00:46:04.55\00:46:05.90
You came forward before.
00:46:05.93\00:46:09.23
You come in forward today
for the first time that's fine.
00:46:09.26\00:46:14.43
I won't know.
00:46:14.46\00:46:15.60
Japhet is down near
you. He'll get your name.
00:46:15.63\00:46:18.98
Nobody is going tomorrow,
00:46:19.01\00:46:20.04
nobody is getting
on a plane tomorrow,
00:46:20.07\00:46:21.18
nobody is gonna have to
fly to a strange country
00:46:21.21\00:46:23.18
and learn to use
chopsticks by next week.
00:46:23.21\00:46:27.06
But somebody is
going to save Jesus.
00:46:27.09\00:46:30.12
You came a runnin' for me,
00:46:30.15\00:46:33.27
how can I not cease this moment
00:46:33.30\00:46:36.74
and go a runnin' for you.
00:46:36.77\00:46:38.79
I'm so proud of
our missionaries.
00:46:38.82\00:46:41.25
I'm so proud of you.
00:46:41.28\00:46:45.84
Mercy's gonna go
runnin' through you,
00:46:45.87\00:46:47.27
I've no idea where you're going,
00:46:47.30\00:46:48.56
I just know you are
going and mercy says go.
00:46:48.59\00:46:54.44
I will hasten it. I will do it.
00:46:54.47\00:46:58.20
You go just be one,
little one as Isaiah 60:22
00:46:58.23\00:47:01.81
just be a little one for
me I'll make into a thousand.
00:47:01.84\00:47:05.06
I'll make into a
thousand, promise you.
00:47:05.09\00:47:07.52
Geometric progression
in the divine passive,
00:47:07.55\00:47:09.80
I'll do it for you.
00:47:09.83\00:47:13.52
Are there any
other students here?
00:47:13.55\00:47:18.14
Students sure I didn't
commit to anything in September
00:47:18.17\00:47:21.05
but you know what,
I'm gonna open up my life
00:47:21.08\00:47:23.79
right now and say,
Jesus if this is something
00:47:23.82\00:47:26.40
we can pull off together
we got faculty advisors,
00:47:26.43\00:47:29.93
faculty who will
juggle the numbers
00:47:29.96\00:47:33.27
and re-crunch your curriculum,
00:47:33.30\00:47:35.81
they will do it, you can do it.
00:47:35.84\00:47:38.41
You say, neither
would I'd be willing to go.
00:47:38.44\00:47:41.03
Is another student here
up in the back at balcony?
00:47:41.06\00:47:44.70
Anybody else?
00:47:44.73\00:47:50.36
Anybody else? So proud of you.
00:47:50.39\00:47:56.22
You can all go
student missionaries,
00:47:56.25\00:47:57.64
come on we are not all students.
00:47:57.67\00:48:01.14
Can go.
00:48:01.17\00:48:02.82
Some of us can go as
adult missionary though.
00:48:02.85\00:48:06.69
We've got representatives
00:48:06.72\00:48:07.75
from the Adventist
Frontier Mission's right here.
00:48:07.78\00:48:10.36
I tell you what so fast
00:48:10.39\00:48:11.59
they would take your
names they would work with you.
00:48:11.62\00:48:13.84
We'll spend
months working with you.
00:48:13.87\00:48:15.74
If you want to go as an adult
00:48:15.77\00:48:19.03
somewhere on
earth for Jesus you go.
00:48:19.06\00:48:23.66
If you are an adult
here and you fit into that,
00:48:23.69\00:48:25.38
we are gonna sing
a hymn in a moment
00:48:25.41\00:48:26.51
you can quietly slip up
00:48:26.54\00:48:28.07
while we are singing that hymn.
00:48:28.10\00:48:30.44
But I want to
talk to the rest of you
00:48:30.47\00:48:31.50
'cause I'm a baby
boomer and when we grow up
00:48:31.53\00:48:34.39
you kind of became
an atman quick praying
00:48:34.42\00:48:36.06
for the
missionaries in the cowboys.
00:48:36.09\00:48:37.37
Just stop it, it's
just a repetitious prayer.
00:48:37.40\00:48:39.50
I want to say it to all of you
00:48:39.53\00:48:40.94
its time to get
off at that kick,
00:48:40.97\00:48:42.16
it's time to start praying
for the missionaries again.
00:48:42.19\00:48:45.28
We got people who are bearing
their dead across the sea.
00:48:45.31\00:48:48.79
They are doing it
at an incredible price.
00:48:48.82\00:48:53.25
It's time to not kick that
little phrase out of our prayer.
00:48:53.28\00:48:56.85
So there are three
ways you and I can respond.
00:48:56.88\00:48:58.28
We'll stand right here.
00:48:58.31\00:48:59.34
The three ways
number one, pray for them.
00:48:59.37\00:49:01.36
Pray for the missionaries.
You see these pray for them.
00:49:01.39\00:49:04.45
There are more where
these came from, pray for them.
00:49:04.48\00:49:06.25
Number two, give to missions.
00:49:06.28\00:49:07.87
You can give right
here at Andrews University,
00:49:07.90\00:49:09.35
Students Mission, you can
give at Pioneer on 13 Sabbath
00:49:09.38\00:49:11.80
and it'll go to
missions the whole world over.
00:49:11.83\00:49:13.81
You can give when
that little Sabbath school
00:49:13.84\00:49:15.80
play comes by give.
00:49:15.83\00:49:17.76
Give to missions.
00:49:17.79\00:49:18.82
Number one, pray
for missionaries,
00:49:18.85\00:49:20.48
number two, give to
missions, and number three,
00:49:20.51\00:49:24.55
number three you got
somebody a lot closer to you
00:49:24.58\00:49:27.63
than Iraq they
are right next door,
00:49:27.66\00:49:30.08
somebody is
right next door to you
00:49:30.11\00:49:31.85
become a
missionary where you live.
00:49:31.88\00:49:34.50
Of course, you have to
get out of your comfort zone.
00:49:34.53\00:49:35.85
Of course its, you're not gonna,
00:49:35.88\00:49:37.22
you are not gonna bury a child
like these missionaries did,
00:49:37.25\00:49:39.90
that will be the high
price you'll have to pay.
00:49:39.93\00:49:41.75
But you'll have to get over,
00:49:41.78\00:49:42.81
you just have to
kind of suck it up
00:49:42.84\00:49:46.01
and be little bit nervous
00:49:46.04\00:49:47.56
but start building a
friendship with the strangers,
00:49:47.59\00:49:49.31
start building a bridge
to somebody who is lost,
00:49:49.34\00:49:52.34
start caring for lost
people and ask God and say,
00:49:52.37\00:49:55.66
anybody lost in my
life that I should know
00:49:55.69\00:49:57.96
God will point them to you.
00:49:57.99\00:49:59.69
And then you, you
become God's bridge
00:49:59.72\00:50:01.76
let mercy come
in runnin' to you.
00:50:01.79\00:50:05.65
So, open your hymnal, please.
00:50:05.68\00:50:08.54
You guys stay right here,
we're gonna sing around you.
00:50:08.57\00:50:11.72
In 578 So Sinned
are You and as we sing,
00:50:11.75\00:50:15.93
as we sing these words
I'd like to invite you,
00:50:15.96\00:50:17.98
if you'd be willing to
commit yourself to be one
00:50:18.01\00:50:20.80
who prays for
missionaries, gives to missions
00:50:20.83\00:50:23.73
and becomes a missionary
right where you live right now
00:50:23.76\00:50:26.05
that you stand
when sing the same.
00:50:26.08\00:50:27.54
You stand with me and
by the act of standing
00:50:27.57\00:50:29.83
we are saying I'll be a
missionary for Christ as well.
00:50:29.86\00:50:32.77
I will be a
missionary for mercy.
00:50:32.80\00:50:35.12
Hymn 578, it's a beautiful,
00:50:35.15\00:50:37.05
beautiful prayer,
it's a commitment.
00:50:37.08\00:50:38.63
You want to send me Jesus says
00:50:38.66\00:50:39.90
as the Father
sends me I send you.
00:50:39.93\00:50:41.99
We say Jesus, send us please.
00:50:42.02\00:50:44.27
Let's stand.
00:50:44.30\00:50:45.33
You are standing in the back
00:50:45.36\00:50:46.39
you folks in the
front as well stand too.
00:50:46.42\00:50:48.74
Hymn 578.
00:50:48.77\00:50:50.09
So send I you,
00:51:07.52\00:51:10.85
by grace made strong to triumph
00:51:10.88\00:51:16.58
O'er hosts of hell,
00:51:16.61\00:51:20.03
o'er darkness, death, and sin
00:51:20.06\00:51:25.23
My name to bear,
00:51:25.26\00:51:28.75
and in that name to conquer
00:51:28.78\00:51:34.21
So send I you,
00:51:34.24\00:51:38.02
my victory to win
00:51:38.05\00:51:44.36
So send I you,
00:51:44.39\00:51:47.70
to take to souls in bondage
00:51:47.73\00:51:53.74
The word or truth
00:51:53.77\00:51:57.34
that sets the captive free
00:51:57.37\00:52:02.50
To break the bonds of sin,
00:52:02.53\00:52:07.48
to lost death's fetters
00:52:07.51\00:52:12.17
So send I you,
00:52:12.20\00:52:16.14
to bring the lost to Me
00:52:16.17\00:52:23.19
So send I you,
00:52:23.22\00:52:26.93
My strength to know in weakness
00:52:26.96\00:52:32.70
My joy in grief,
00:52:32.73\00:52:36.45
My perfect peace in pain
00:52:36.48\00:52:41.52
To prove My power,
00:52:41.55\00:52:45.51
My grace, My promised presence
00:52:45.54\00:52:51.25
So send I you,
00:52:51.28\00:52:55.45
eternal fruit to gain
00:52:55.48\00:53:02.53
So send I you,
00:53:02.56\00:53:05.98
to bear My cross with patience
00:53:06.01\00:53:12.61
And then one day
00:53:12.64\00:53:16.44
with joy to lay it down
00:53:16.47\00:53:22.21
To hear My voice,
00:53:22.24\00:53:26.20
Well done, My faithful servant
00:53:26.23\00:53:32.43
Come, share My throne,
00:53:32.46\00:53:36.20
My kingdom,
00:53:36.23\00:53:38.48
and My crown!
00:53:38.51\00:53:42.14
As the Father hath sent Me,
00:53:45.46\00:53:53.02
so send I you
00:53:55.57\00:54:03.47
As the Holy Christ you send us,
00:54:06.27\00:54:08.31
you send us we stand before You,
00:54:08.34\00:54:10.03
how could we
stay when you say go.
00:54:10.06\00:54:16.90
Oh, Father, for
these who have come forward
00:54:16.93\00:54:21.52
there is such joy in
the kingdom of heaven.
00:54:21.55\00:54:25.03
Mercy came runnin' to
him, mercy came runnin' to her
00:54:25.06\00:54:27.78
and out of an eternal gratitude
00:54:27.81\00:54:30.30
they're gonna run for mercy.
00:54:30.33\00:54:33.82
Father, seal them,
seal these decisions,
00:54:33.85\00:54:36.76
don't let
anything happen to them.
00:54:36.79\00:54:41.29
May the angel of the Lord encamp
00:54:41.32\00:54:49.25
we're under about
them and protect them.
00:54:49.28\00:54:54.51
Holy Christ, she
does not go in ignorance
00:55:02.51\00:55:06.81
he goes no way.
00:55:06.84\00:55:10.66
Look at this little boy
00:55:10.69\00:55:11.72
who came for our
Father just a boy.
00:55:11.75\00:55:15.51
He wants to go, raise
up our boys and girls,
00:55:15.54\00:55:20.45
raise up our young adults,
00:55:20.48\00:55:24.62
raise up this
church to go please.
00:55:24.65\00:55:29.94
And so we stand,
00:55:29.97\00:55:32.46
oh, God we,
there isn't one of us
00:55:32.49\00:55:35.94
that even now can faintly
comprehend the electric joy
00:55:35.97\00:55:41.37
that will serge
through the bodies
00:55:41.40\00:55:43.86
and hearts of those
missionaries one day
00:55:43.89\00:55:49.31
who with the gate
of the eternal kingdom
00:55:49.34\00:55:52.72
will be greeted by You
and You'll cry out to them,
00:55:52.75\00:55:58.03
well done good and
faithful missionaries,
00:55:58.06\00:56:03.46
you've been
faithful and a little arm
00:56:03.49\00:56:08.03
on an arm make
you ruler over much.
00:56:08.06\00:56:12.12
Enter into the joy of
your Lord forever and ever.
00:56:12.15\00:56:17.52
Oh, Father, may all of us
00:56:17.55\00:56:19.82
standing before You
hear those words one day
00:56:19.85\00:56:23.66
and may we never forget
00:56:23.69\00:56:27.47
that You had only one boy
00:56:27.50\00:56:31.45
and You made him a missionary.
00:56:31.48\00:56:35.68
In the name if our
missionary Savior Jesus
00:56:35.71\00:56:38.52
let all the
people say amen and amen.
00:56:38.55\00:56:44.16
Let me take one more moment
of your time to let you know
00:56:58.79\00:57:01.05

I received from this telecast
00:57:01.08\00:57:03.66
is being in touch
with viewers like you

Michiana and our nation

Sometimes it's a Bible question
00:57:11.74\00:57:13.44
other times it's an
observation or suggestion
00:57:13.47\00:57:15.72
and sometimes just a note
00:57:15.75\00:57:16.79
to share a prayer
or a prayer request.
00:57:16.82\00:57:19.16
