[0:00] Welcome. Thank you for choosing to listen to another faith-building message by Pastor David Entry. Faith comes by hearing and by hearing the Word of God.

[0:12] May your knowledge of Jesus Christ increase as you listen. Be blessed. Hebrews chapter 2 Therefore we must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away.

[0:27] For if the Word spoken through angels proved steadfast and every transgression and disobedience received a just reward, how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation?

[0:39] Say, so great a salvation. So great a salvation. Say, so great a salvation. So great a salvation. How can we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord and was confirmed to us by those who heard him?

[0:55] God also bearing witness both with signs and wonders and various miracles and gifts of the Holy Spirit according to his own will. For he has not put the world to come of which we speak in subjection to angels.

[1:11] But one testifies in a certain place saying, What is man that you are mindful of him or the son of man that you care for him? You have made him a little lower than the angels.

[1:23] You have crowned him with glory and honor and set him over the works of your hands. You have put all things in subjection under his feet.

[1:35] For in that he put all things, someone say all things. All things. All things in subjection under him. He left nothing that is not put under him.

[1:49] But we do not yet see all things put under him. But we see Jesus. Who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death.

[2:04] Crown with glory and honor. That he, by the grace of God, might taste death for everyone. For it is fitting for him.

[2:17] From whom are all things and by whom are all things. In bringing many sons to glory. To make the captain of their salvation. Say salvation. Say salvation. To make the captain of their salvation perfect through suffering.

[2:30] For both he who sanctifies and those who are being sanctified are of one. For which reason he is not ashamed to call them brethren. Saying, I will declare your name to my brethren.

[2:42] And in the midst of the assembly, I will praise. I will sing praises to you. Again, I will put my trust in him. Again. Saying, here am I and the children whom God has given me.

[2:55] Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood. He himself likewise shared in the same true death. He might destroy him who has the power of death.

[3:06] That is the devil. And release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. For indeed he does not give aid to angels. But he does give aid to the seed of Abraham.

[3:20] Therefore, in all things, he had to be made like his brethren. That he might be a merciful and faithful high priest.

[3:33] In things pertaining to God. And to make propitiation for the sins of the people. For in that he himself has suffered being tempted. He is able to aid those who are tempted.

[3:50] Somebody say amen. Amen. In the whole of scripture, there is no chapter. That is so condensed with five aspects of Jesus' work.

[4:03] All of them at the same time in one chapter. His incarnation. His crucifixion. His resurrection. His ascension.

[4:16] And his glorification. All these five major aspects of Jesus' life. Have been manifested clearly in this chapter.

[4:27] As I have been explaining. Angels don't qualify to die for, save us. Because angels were not put in command of everything God has done.

[4:38] He could have given it to angels. But I say, what is man that you allow him to be in charge of? Man is not that essential. When you compare the power of God.

[4:50] The grandeur of man. The power of man. The grandeur of man. The limitation. The confines of man. Why would you have to put him in charge of everything like that? He said, yet we don't see everything under him.

[5:00] Because man didn't learn how to stay under authority. In order to gain authority. So because the authority God gave us was a delegated authority. And man lost the place.

[5:13] And it was death. Everyone was plunged into death. Now in the verse nine. It says that. But we see Jesus. Who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death.

[5:26] Crowned with glory and honor. That he might, by the grace of God. He might taste death for everyone. Now that word everyone there. Doesn't mean human beings alone.

[5:37] Okay. The word everyone there. The original Greek doesn't just connotes every human being. It ocularies everything created in the universe. Everything physically created.

[5:51] Was plunged. Subjected to futility. Romans chapter eight verse 19. It says that. For the endless expectation of the creation. Eagerly awaits for the revelation. Verse 20. I'll come back to 19 later.

[6:03] For the creation was subjected toward futility. Death. I told you the other time. That death in that text. Does not mean the funeral.

[6:14] Which is the final part of the death. The maturation. When the crystallization of death. Is when you die out of this earth. Okay. But then death in all forms.

[6:26] Uselessness. Futility. Hopelessness. Sickness. Diseases. They are all incipient death. Manifestation of death in a certain form. Creation was.

[6:37] That's why when you leave your food. Your meat. Without putting it in the fridge. It goes bad. Because everything has been subjected to death. We try to be in control of everything. But still.

[6:48] Have you realized that. We love to control the things that we can't control. We find difficult to give up anything we can't control. We want to be in control. Have you realized that.

[7:00] At every point in your life. No human being has ever gotten to the place where you said. I have been able to achieve everything I wanted. I have been able to do everything I planned to do.

[7:11] Anyone here like that. We just have to look at your exam results. You planned. Even just the driving test.

[7:22] Theory. You couldn't get 100%. You got 98. You got 98. Invested to get A. Get A. It's not.

[7:33] You don't have to get 90 to get A. Because no one can get it. So depending on your investing. Sometimes even 70. If you get 70.

[7:43] It's A. 75. A star. Ah. Some people would be boasting. Had A stars. They're talking about the under 80. Because.

[7:56] Human nature has been subjected to futility. That no one can. Be able to. Fulfill everything that you want to do. That's why we all need Jesus. So we need Jesus.

[8:07] But I want you to know that. The entire creation was subjected to death. So in Colossians chapter 2 verse 20. So Jesus' redemption does not. Listen.

[8:18] What I'm trying to say is. The redemption that Christ brings. Does not only cover human beings. In Colossians chapter 1 verse 20. And by him to reconcile all things to himself.

[8:30] By him whether things on earth. The things in heaven. Having made peace through the blood of his cross. So he. His blood of. The blood of his cross was not to just reconcile human beings to God. It covers all things created.

[8:43] He had. In. Verse 10 again. 10 of Hebrews chapter 2. He says that. For it is fitting for God. For whom.

[8:54] That's God. All. For whom are all things. By whom are all things. In bringing many sons to glory. He may have to spend a bit of time on the chapter 10. A verse 10. To make the captain of their salvation.

[9:07] Perfect true suffering. Verse 9. I wanted to check something. But we see Jesus. Who was made a little lower than the angels. For the suffering of death. Why was he made a little lower than the angels.

[9:19] For your information. Angels don't die. It's human being created. Things that die. And he had to die. Because all of us have been subjected to death. Death has creeped in and taken over.

[9:32] And so Jesus had to come and face death. He has to come and face death. Put you on the screen again. That. He was made a little lower than angels. For the suffering of death.

[9:44] Crowned with glory and honor. That. Why? That he. By the grace of God. That he might do what. Might test death for everyone. Everything that has been subjected to death. He came to test death on that behalf.

[9:55] On behalf of that thing. Amen. That he might exp. Because. God can die. So. If you say Jesus is God. When Jesus died on the cross. Where was God? He didn't die as God.

[10:07] God doesn't die. Even angels don't die. Let alone God. Spirits don't die. So when he was born. In the manger and crying. Was that God crying?

[10:19] God. The creator of everything. He wrapped himself. He said. So it was the human. God wrapped himself with humanity. And the human. That's what is called incarnation.

[10:30] The incarnation. The identification. Of the incarnation. Because we. Watch this. Because you and I. Are human beings in flesh. And he had to help us. He had to identify with us.

[10:41] Other than that. He doesn't qualify to save us. You know what it means to be a woman. Or to be a man. And be tempted. Be a woman. And be tempted by gossip.

[10:55] Does he know that? So you say that. That's it. God doesn't understand. No, no. He said. He walked where I walked. He stood where I stood. He felt what I felt. Yet without sin. And he understand. God with us.

[11:06] So close to us. That's why he came. And that's. That's the. Where I'm going on. With this message. But watch this. Bible says that. He. He became human beings. That he might taste.

[11:18] Death for us. So when he died on the cross. It wasn't. God. Who has died. Because spirits don't die. He said. Into your hands. I.

[11:28] I release my spirit. I. I give my spirit. Spirits don't die. When someone dies. They say. It's gone. Where is it gone? Can you imagine.

[11:39] When you die. People don't even refer you as. They say. Where is the body? Bring the body. Let's put the body. Where are they? The body. You are not referred to as the body.

[11:50] Because the you. Has left the body. The you. Because spirits don't die. That's why. If you live your life. As though everything is about.

[12:00] What you are getting physically. You are making a big mistake. You say. You can say. I don't believe in God. Just to help you. Escape the real. Grim reality of godliness. When someone say.

[12:11] I don't believe in God. It's not because they are so intelligent. It's because they are trying to. Stretch their intelligence. To cover something. That doesn't really exist. To overstretch it.

[12:23] So that. Because if I admit there is God. Then it's. There's a lot of consequence. I have to give an account. Of the way I'm behaving. So the best way to live.

[12:34] As though. I'm free from anything. To say there is no God. You are lying. Because you know there is God. There are so many things you can't stand. Big bang. Big bang. Big bang. Big bang. Science. Law of motion.

[12:45] They tell law of motion. It says that. Every object. Continues to be in a continuous. Or continue in motion. Or in a state of rest. Unless.

[12:56] An external force is applied. You said you understand science. Common sense. That thing has always been there. And then suddenly there was a bang. I mean. How can someone. Something.

[13:07] Bang. What caused the bang? What caused that so called big bang? What caused it? They don't know the answer. Because it defies the law.

[13:18] Because if you said nothing. There was nothing before everything. And just something just existed. By itself. No way. Just was there.

[13:29] And suddenly. Boom. It exploded. And turned into nice organized world. God. Bible says. Bible says. In Romans chapter 1.

[13:39] Verse 20. Verse 19 and 20. For since the creation of the world. The invisible attributes are clearly seen. Being understood. By the things that are made. Even his eternal power and godless.

[13:51] So that they are without excuse. You can't say. I don't know. There is no God. So the things that are created. Are clearly. He said. He said. Since the creation of the world. The invisible attributes.

[14:02] We can't see God. His invisible attributes. Are clearly seen. Being understood. Just. If you have a little bit of common sense. You can tell that there is God. Being understood.

[14:14] The things that are made. So you look at the things that are made. As I say. You look at your watch. It tells you there is God. Anything made tells you. There must be a maker. And everything came from something.

[14:28] Everything came from something. Everything came from. You. You didn't just show up. You came from somewhere. You can't claim. You don't have a mother. You are. You be a big liar. We all know that you are out of your money. If you say you don't have a mother.

[14:39] Everybody. Even if you are developing the test. You grew up in a womb. Yeah. That's right. That's right. Everybody came from. Everything came from. You like your iPad so much.

[14:49] It came from somewhere. There are raw materials. Those raw materials. Were extracted from somewhere. Their chair came from somewhere. Their carpets came from. Everything. Okay. So the original things. The raw materials. Where did they come from?

[15:00] Yeah. They just showed up. Oh come on. Give me a break. I thought you were quite a bit more intelligent than that. How can things just show up? People even.

[15:11] Science even tell you that. Matter does not. Matter changes from one state to the other. Matter can't disappear. So. The thing that is.

[15:22] Must have. Someone must be behind it. There is a creator. But the ignorance. The ignorance. Will tell you. When Jesus died. God died.

[15:32] No. It was the human Jesus. The physical Jesus. Do you know why? He had to be like us. So that he can die. Right. Right. Other than that. He can't die. But we have been subjected to death.

[15:45] Someone must enter death. And disengage death. On your behalf. So. The road. Of the life. And ministry of Jesus. Always led to the cross. Everything he says that.

[15:55] The cross. Everything was leading to the cross. He came. That true death. He might deliver those. Who all their lifetime. Have been subject to bondage. Because of the fear of death.

[16:07] So he came. But he said. That he might. Verse 9. He was made little older than the angels. For their. Suffering of death. He had to be.

[16:17] Like that. He had to be. A human being. So he can experience death. Or you would have preferred him. Being a goat. Goats are lesser human beings. A horse. Lesser creatures. Human beings are the highest.

[16:29] Of all creation. If you kill a horse. Your. Your. Your sentence. If you are guilty. If you are guilty. Your sentence. Would not be like killing a human being. When a horse. Is killing.

[16:40] Or. A lion. They've kept the lion. In the zoo. For about 15 years. One of the best. Like. Inhabitants. Of the zoo. People travel from all over. And this lion.

[16:51] Now manage to jump out. And begin to run. 18 people. Is a best. But they have to. Put that. By on down. Because the fact that. Is a threat. Is a threat. To human life.

[17:02] Why? Because the human life. Is the highest of all lives. Yeah. That's right. Of everything created. Yeah. Human life. So if Jesus is coming to die for us. Then he didn't have come like a lion.

[17:13] He can't come as a lion. Because a lion doesn't qualify. To pay for you. That's right. If you have a son. And someone says. Well I have bought a lion. If you give me a son.

[17:24] I'll give you the lion. Let's exchange. Will you do that? You must. Social service must come after you. And police must arrest you. Because there's something wrong with you. You give up your son for a lion. Even though sometimes.

[17:35] It looks like in our society. People would like to give up human beings for dogs. Dog. Dog. Yeah. It's a reflection of. Incipient death. That has crept into humanity.

[17:47] Anyway. So Jesus had to come. Like human beings. So that. He would die. For the purpose of death. For the suffering of death. That he might taste death. Verse 9.

[17:59] That he might taste death. For everyone. Everything created. Through death. The death of the cross. Shout hallelujah. Hallelujah. Then he goes on.

[18:10] He said. For. For it is fitting. God. I mean. Can you imagine. In John chapter 12. In John chapter 12. Verse 21. The disciples came to him.

[18:21] Saint Paul came and said. We want to see Jesus. And the disciples came and told Jesus. That some guys want to see you. Okay. So. They came to Philip. Who was from Bethsaida of Galilee.

[18:32] And asked him. Saying. Say. We want to see Jesus. Verse 22. Then Philip came and told Andrew. And Andrew in turn. And Philip. Told Jesus. And what did Jesus say? Look at this. This is very interesting.

[18:42] He says that the hour has come. Verse 20. But Jesus answered and said. The hour has come. That the son of man. Should be glorified. Is it because people are coming to look for him? No. Is it because he's going to gain fame?

[18:53] No. What is he talking about? When people are coming to look for him. We think about popularity. He doesn't think of popularity. He's thinking about destiny. Fulfillment of assignment.

[19:04] So. Verse 24. He said. Except a grain of wheat. Falls to the ground and dies. I said to you. Unless a grain of wheat. Falls to the ground and dies. It. It. It remains alone. But if he dies.

[19:14] It produces much grain. So he's going to the cross. He's about to die. He says that. Now the hour has come. For God to be glorified. For the son of man to be glorified. So.

[19:26] Sometimes. Human beings. Our definitions are warped. Crisscross. Sometimes. It's got. There's no wonder God said. My ways are not your ways. Now that I might touch your tongue.

[19:36] You are thinking that. You are thinking. Getting a new job. Means that the blessing is not flowing. But. Sometimes. Losing a job. Is a sign that blessings. Beginning to flow. Amen. Amen.

[19:47] Very interesting. How God does this. You might think that. Buying a new house. Is the beginning of glory. You might think that. Getting someone who is saying.

[19:58] Now I want to marry. Is the beginning of glory. But sometimes. Someone saying. Who has promised that we are going to marry. Coming to you and saying. No. I don't think we want to marry. It's the beginning of glory. I'm not saying all the way.

[20:08] That's why. That's just. I'm going to. I'm going to. I'm going to show you. How. God doesn't choose you. Based on your will. But based on his will. Maybe the message title will be.

[20:24] Wrong. But chosen. So. So. So sometimes. We may be looking at things from different angles. Elizabeth. And. Elizabeth. And. The husband. Zachariah.

[20:35] They were believing God for a child. For so many years. Never happened. They. But they didn't give up. They were still going to church and serving. Because. In you. For human beings. They say. They are failing.

[20:45] You are failing. No. The way. That. The human. The human beings. The definition of failure. Is not always the definition of. Failure to God. Sometimes. Our definition of success. Is not how God defines success. So they will think.

[20:59] Elizabeth has failed. Old lady. Still no child. But. God. You are going to church every day. You're going to church. What can you show for it? You're going to church. No. No job. No house. No money. And you're coming to ask people money.

[21:09] Let your church give you. Don't worry. Let them keep saying that. Very soon. They will find out that God. Is a God of Isaac. Elizabeth.

[21:21] But in God's plan. They can't give birth. Prematurely. If they are giving birth. 20 years ago. It should have been premature. Why?

[21:32] No. Because. It wasn't yet time for Jesus to come. And God has given in their destiny. The privilege of their son. Introducing the Messiah. So when they were thinking.

[21:43] Why? Why? God. What does that happen? God said that. I have my plan. It's not about you. My plan. And you are privileged to be in the center. My plan. So just follow me and keep quiet. And in the process of time.

[21:54] You show. That I am the God of power. I am the God of all flesh. I am the God of glory. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. So it says that.

[22:04] The hour has come for the son of man to be glorified. I mean. You are going to die. He said glorified. Yes. God. This is why I came. He said. I think in John chapter 12 verse 36. I suppose.

[22:15] He said. For this hour. Have I come into the world. For this reason. Have I been born. Jesus was born. So he would die. Even though all of us are dying.

[22:27] The day you are born. That's when you start to die. But Jesus' assignment. Was to come and die. That. He might taste that.

[22:37] For it is fitting for him. For whom are all things. And by whom are all things. In bringing medicines to glory. Say glory. Glory.

[22:48] Someone say glory. Glory. Remember last week. I quoted. For those he foreknew. He also predestined to be conformed. Romans chapter 8 verse 29. To be conformed to the image of his son.

[22:58] That he might be the firstborn. Amongst many brethren. That is so important. After now. Destination. Christ. Many brethren. Verse 20. Verse 30. And those he. For those he predestined. He also called.

[23:09] Those he called. He also justified. Those he justified. He also glorified. Where is our end? Glory. Glory. Now listen to this. This is very important. I want you to understand.

[23:20] That. Our glory. God has called us. And is bringing us. Into a state of glory. God is a God of glory. In. Thank you Jesus. In 1st Peter chapter 1 verse 3.

[23:30] It talks about. Blessed be God. The father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Who has. Who has given. Blessed be the God. The father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Who according to his abundant message. How did he do it? His abundant message. Because he didn't deserve it.

[23:41] But according to his abundant message. Have begotten us again. To a lively hope. This is what it means. We're born again. Not going to church. You have been born. To a lively hope. He has begotten us again.

[23:52] Into. To a lively hope. Through the. How did he do it? Through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. From the dead. Verse 4. From the dead. To an inheritance. Incorruptible.

[24:03] And defiled. That does not fade away. Reserved in heaven for us. So. We have been begotten. Into a lively hope. Into a lively hope.

[24:13] Thank you Jesus. Hallelujah. Amen. Remember this. For those he justified. He glorified. Bible says that. In Hebrew chapter 2.

[24:24] Verse 10. In. It is fitting for God. In bringing many sons. To glory. So where is our destination? Glory. In Colossians.

[24:36] Philippians chapter 3. Verse 21. In Philippians chapter 3. Verse 21. It talks about how. We will be changed. Who will transform our lowly bodies. That it may be.

[24:47] Conformed to his glorious body. You see. So. At times it's coming. When you use your. This is your lowly. Cheap body. Lowly. You know what I'm talking about. It's cheap.

[24:57] As compared to what it can be. Because. Why do you get tired? Because. It's a lowly body. Why do you have to wash every day? Twice. Why do you?

[25:08] Why? Why do you have to spend money on makeup? Because it's a lowly body. If you don't make. If you don't make up. You. People won't like the way you look. It's a lowly body. You will scare children.

[25:20] So. I mean. You have to. You know. Some people can never go out. Of their door. Even to go and put. Their rubbish. In the bin.

[25:31] Without making up. Because they will trigger. An alarm. In the hole. I mean. Lowly bodies. That's what I'm talking about. Lowly bodies. Lowly bodies. You look at. A man. In his forties.

[25:42] And his stomach looks very funny. His shape looks. I mean. Lowly body. Only women knows.

[25:53] What sometimes goes on. In their legs. Some of my sisters. When I was growing. Some of them. They used to have sores here. Because of their shoes. It was always. Hurting their.

[26:04] The back of their hair. In their legs. How many. How long can you see a woman. When a high heel. For something. They wear a feather. They put it in their. Put it aside. Is when they are about.

[26:15] To step out. In their legs. But most of the time. Some are here. And they've removed it. Because they are suffering. Lowly bodies. He said.

[26:25] He will change. Our lowly bodies. Watch this. Watch this. In. Lowly bodies. To. His glorious. We are. Our destination is glorious.

[26:41] To his glory. It sounds. Shall glory. Glory. Glory. It is fitting for God. In bringing many sons. To glory. So. As a matter of fact. Romans chapter 8.

[26:51] Verse 19. 20 and 21. Bible says that. The entire creation. Is waiting. For the manifestation. That manifestation. Can also be rendered. The glorification.

[27:03] Manifestation of. The endless expectation. Of creation. Eagerly waits. For the revealing. Of manifestation. Or glorification. Of the sons of God. Creation is waiting. For our glory. To begin to show. I'll show you.

[27:16] Go to the next verse. And see. For. For. For creation. Was made subject. To vanity. Not willingly. But by the reason. Of him. Who has subjected. The same.

[27:27] In hope. Look at the next verse. Verse 21. Because creation. Is self also. Will be delivered. From the bondage. Of corruption. Into what? The glorious liberty. Of the children of God.

[27:38] You see. It will be delivered. Into the glorious liberty. We have a glorious. Into glory. We have a glorious liberty. We are getting into. Very soon. Creation will be delivered.

[27:48] Into the. That's why creation. Is eagerly. Awaiting for our. Glorious. Shout hallelujah. Hallelujah. Actually in revelations. Chapter 21.

[27:59] Verse 11. And verse 21. Verse 23. Chapter 20. Revelations 21. Verse 11. It talks about how. It says that. Having the glory of God. That's talking about. The new Jerusalem.

[28:10] It has what? The glory of God. Her light was like. The most precious stone. Like Jasper's stone. Clear as. Clear as. That's the. The glory in the new Jerusalem.

[28:21] Look at verse 23. Look at verse 23. It talks about. The city. I like this. The city. That's talking about. The new Jerusalem. The city had no need. Of sun. Or moon. To shine in it.

[28:31] Why? For the glory. Of. Yay. Shout glory. It is fitting for him. In bringing many sons.

[28:43] Into glory. In. In 1st Corinthians. Chapter 2. Verse 7. 1st Corinthians. Chapter 2. Verse 10. We have been designed. For glory. 1st Corinthians. Chapter 2. Verse 7.

[28:53] Put it on the script please. But we speak. The wisdom of God. In a mystery. Hidden. Hidden. The hidden mystery. Hidden wisdom. Which God has ordained before. Ages forward.

[29:04] Our glory. It talks about. For we have been changed. Glory. 2nd Corinthians. Chapter 3. Verse 18.

[29:15] It said. As we behold. We beholding like in a glass. For we all. With an unveiled. With unveiled face. Beholding us in a mirror. The glory of the Lord. The glory of the Lord. The glory of the Lord. The glory of the Lord. The glory of the Lord. Are being transformed.

[29:26] Into the same image. From glory. To glory. Just as. Just as. By the spirit of the Lord. So. Every time. What this one. This particular one. Is talking about the word of God. The more you look at the word of God.

[29:38] See. What you see. Determines. What you become like. That's why your encounters. Are so important. What you discover. What you find out about Jesus.

[29:49] It determines what you become like. Said. We all. Put it back on. It says. We all. We all. With unveiled faces. Beholding in a mirror. In a mirror. The glory of the Lord.

[30:00] Are being transformed. Into the same. From glory. To glory. From glory. To glory. From glory. To glory. Shout.

[31:16] But how is he going to do it? Looking at how. Unglorious we are. You know human beings got problems. That's why we always have to dress them up.

[31:30] Because we got problems. There are some things I found out there. They are called embarrassing illnesses. Huh? You are coming to glory. That is why I personally believe.

[31:41] In my opinion. I believe that. The glory. As we look into the world of God. We are being changed. So you don't wait for the end. It's working now. So there are certain things. That are not permitted. To stay in your body. Because glory.

[31:54] Faces them out. Glory. Faces them out. Flashes them out. Flashes them out of your body. I see certain sicknesses. Avocating permanently. Hallelujah. Don't use your mouth.

[33:04] Verse three. He says. He has brought us into a lively hope. By the resurrection of Christ. So when he died. He was in the grave. And when he was resurrecting.

[33:16] He resurrected. And then paved the way. He's a forerunner. Human. That's the first time. Any human being. Went to sleep. And got out by himself. From dead. From the grave.

[33:28] The tombstone couldn't keep him. He just came out. And walked. But. So it was fitting for God. In bringing many sons to glory. To make the captain of our salvation. Remember I've mentioned that when salvation.

[33:40] Chapter two. Verse three. He says that. How can we escape. If we neglect so great a salvation. In chapter one. Verse fourteen. He says that. The angels. Are. Ministry.

[33:52] Spree. Sent to minister. To ask the heirs of salvation. So. In. He being the captain of our salvation. He's the one. The pioneer. The originator. How did he do it?

[34:02] By the resurrection. So Hebrews. First of all. Remember we're talking about his incarnation. We're talking about that. He might take his death. His death. Now. By the resurrection. In bringing many sons to glory.

[34:14] By the. To make the captain. He's the forerunner. In Hebrews chapter six. Verse twenty. Hebrews chapter six. Verse twenty. It talks about. Jesus has entered the place already for us. Bible says that.

[34:25] Where the. Oh. You see how he calls Jesus. What's his name there? What's his title? Who is he there? The forerunner. Let's not really. Let's go. Where the forerunner has entered for us.

[34:35] Even Jesus. Having become a high priest forever. According to the order of Melchizedek. So he's the forerunner. Jesus is the forerunner. He's. He's. He entered into glory ahead of us.

[34:46] For our sake. So. How do you know where you are going? Look at where Jesus is. Oh. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

[34:58] Okay. So I'm just. So Jesus. He's the. He's the forerunner of our. The captain of our salvation. The engineer. The pioneer. Hallelujah.

[35:19] Ak. Mon. Mono. Ak. Above. On top of everyone. Ruling. When we talk about. Ak. Enemy. The top of your enemies.

[35:30] Ak. Angel. The top of the angel. That's that. The English word. It's just a combination of different. Prefaces and surfaces. And stuff like that. So. This one is. Ak.

[35:42] Greek word. Ak. Ak. Ak. Ak. Ak. The one on top. Who has gone ahead. The one ahead of others. The Ak. Ak. The captain of our salvation. It is fitting to bring. For God.

[36:04] Perfect. In. Who is the. Who is the captain of our salvation? Jesus. I can't hear you. Jesus. I can't hear you. Jesus.

[36:15] Jesus. Jesus being. The captain of our salvation. Bible says. It is fitting for God. In bringing many sons to glory. Making Jesus.

[36:25] Perfect. Ah. Perfect. So he wasn't perfect. Teleo. Greek word. Tele. T. T. L. T. E. L. E. I. O.

[36:36] O. Teleo. Teleo. Teleo. In making Jesus perfect. Are you trying to say he wasn't perfect? So when he was a baby in the mother's. When he was born in the manger. Was he not perfect?

[36:47] Because he's God in the flesh. So was he not perfect? When he was living. He didn't make any mistakes. Was he not perfect? So what does he mean by? In making the captain of our salvation perfect. Isn't he already perfect?

[36:58] Are you guys in the point of making? But Jesus should have been perfect already before he'd be qualified to save us. Now. Perfection there. Is not talking about sinlessness. It's not talking about impeccability.

[37:10] It's talking about fulfillment. So you know when somebody's young. Okay. Let's say 20 year old man.

[37:21] Most of the time he's. If you compare 20 year old man to 85 year old man. An 85 year old man. The 85 year old man doesn't have a perfect strength.

[37:33] But the 20 year, 19 year old man. Yes. Perfect strength. Okay. Perfect. But he hasn't perfected his work. Doesn't even have a wife.

[37:43] Doesn't even have a child. Doesn't even have a good job yet. So he said. But then he has finished. He has finished raising his sons. He's wonderfully married. Taking good care of his wife.

[37:54] His children are all doing well. And now he's retired. Because he's perfected his job. Am I communicating? In bringing many sons to glory.

[38:06] Okay. It is fitting for God. In bringing many sons to glory. Making the captain of their salvation perfect. What does that mean? This is very important. Listen. This is an important aspect of the teaching.

[38:18] Making perfect. How? Put you on the screen. Let's not read it from the screen. Everything from the beginning. Let's go. For him. Louder. Louder. Let's go. For it is fitting for him. For whom are all things.

[38:30] And by whom are all things. In bringing many sons to glory. To make the captain of their salvation. Perfect through. So. How is he going to make him perfect? Through. Suffering.

[38:41] How is he going to make him perfect? Through. Not suffering. So. Suffering. Say. Say. Say. Say. Many. Many sufferings. Say. Say. Say. You're only one suffering God deliver.

[38:51] You think that's all. No. Life is full of. Sufferings. Uh huh. That's what will make you perfect. Ah. Wow. Alright. Let me. In making perfect.

[39:02] Now listen to this. If Jesus had come on earth. As a full grown man. Like Adam. Is it the difference between Adam and Jesus?

[39:13] Uh huh. Adam. He didn't live. He was just full grown. Uh huh. He was created. Full grown man.

[39:24] But Jesus was born. As a baby. He went through every stage of human experience. Oh. Awesome. So.

[39:36] To make him perfect. Through suffering. He went through every stage of human being. And lived a full grown human life. He could have. Why didn't he come as Adam came?

[39:48] Could have. Jesus could have come as a man. Because he went. As a man. He just went. Went up. It was just. Invisibles test. And he was going. They saw him. Bible said. In Acts chapter 1 verse 11.

[39:58] And the cloud received him from their side. Chapter. Verse 10 and verse 11. Verse 10. The cloud received. He went. They were watching him as he was going. So it could have come the same way. By this time.

[40:10] It's coming the same way. No. He said it's Acts chapter 1 verse 11. He said it's going to come the same way. You saw him go. This Jesus. He said it's going to come the same way. As you saw him go into heaven.

[40:21] Coming to come the same way. But let me not get you through it. By the way. By the way. By the way. Now. Wouldn't he have been sufficient? Why did he come? On earth. Today. Why did he come on earth? Today. You forgot this also.

[40:32] Today. Why did he come on earth? Today. Why did he come on earth? Today. To die. So why didn't he come on Monday? Big man. And die Friday. Like Easter. Everything. Within Monday and Friday.

[40:43] Teach everything he taught. All the things. Multiply the bread. He multiplied. Ten water. He could have done different things. Because he's no Superman. He could have done this. And then die on Friday.

[40:55] Die on Friday. Resurrect on Sunday. Like he did. Die the same way he died. Why did he have to live? In fact. From the age of 12. To the age of 30.

[41:05] We just. When he was born. After he was born. After Christmas. After Christmas. I don't know if you will be thinking every day. Every year. After Christmas. We didn't hear anything about Jesus. Then.

[41:17] Maybe when he was two years. They ran. They fled to Egypt. And all that. Oh. His infancy. We didn't really hear anything about. Then when he was 12. He went to the temple. That's all. And then after he was 12. We didn't hear anything about him.

[41:28] Until he was 30. Why are you so much. Eager for people to know about you? You're so eager. You want to announce your presence. Every time.

[41:39] Prematurely. Premature exposure can cause you. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. One of the dangers of ministry. Dangers of ministry. Is trying to be like Benihin.

[41:50] Very early. Any money you get. You go by white shoes. White shoes. Right. And then when you ask. You come and lead prayer. You are coming to Sunday.

[42:01] Everybody lift up your heart. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Live life. Live life. Stop trying to mimic people. You are not yet at their level. You are forcing to buy cars.

[42:12] You can't afford. The fact that you can pay for it. Doesn't mean you can't afford to drive it. You are pushing your husband. To try and move from where you guys live.

[42:25] Premature exposure. It will kill you before your time. Moses was taken out of Egypt. To be hidden. Because he was getting prematurely exposed.

[42:36] By thinking I can help people. God said. It's okay. It's okay. Have it. Come on. Go to your wilderness. Your wilderness experience is necessary for you. You need it.

[42:48] Don't cut it short. Don't cut it short. Go through the process for your development. Bible says. In the last verse. Of Luke. The last verse. The last verse.

[42:59] In chapter one. Rather. The last verse in chapter one. He was kept at the back side of the desert. He was in the desert. You don't like the desert life. But sometimes. It's good for your development. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.

[43:09] Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. And the child grew. And became strong in spirit. And was in the desert. He became strong in spirit. Some of us. We are not even yet strong in spirit. You want to get a puppy to be preaching.

[43:42] It's this person's 21st death day. It's this person's 40th death day. Oh, come on. Let's put red carpet. Let's walk. He was kept at the back side of the desert.

[43:54] For how long? Until the day of his. The day of your manifestation is coming. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. The day of your manifestation is coming. Yes.

[44:04] The day of your manifestation is coming. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. It is part of your rocket podcast. Yes.

[44:31] In hate for manifestation. Don't. Take your time. Walk in God. Trust God. Don't cut it short. Don't compare yourself. Run your own race.

[44:42] Don't be running like others are running. Run your own race. In honesty, sincerity, and love for God. Don't be in a hurry to be seen. That shoe is okay. Don't change it.

[44:53] Don't change it. You're fine with that shoe. Don't change it. Don't change it. The head, there's nothing wrong with it. It's just about three weeks old. It's fine. Keep it. It's okay. Your wedding. Don't do your wedding based on what others are doing.

[45:05] They want to rent a limousine. So you also want to rent a limousine. Lamborghini Countach. You want to outdo somebody?

[45:17] Your wedding. Listen. Don't forget. You just got your job not too long ago. About three years now. Some others have been working for 25 years. So if they are going to holiday in Barbados, please don't think you are at their level.

[45:29] Yeah. It is fitting for God in bringing many sons to glory to make the captain of their salvation perfect through suffering.

[45:43] Wait for your perfection to happen. But what does it mean? Jesus has to be made perfect through suffering. Because other than that he doesn't qualify to really save us. He has to be made perfect. He has to go through the process of human experience, of human suffering, of human. He was hungry.

[45:59] He cried. He was tired. He was thirsty. He was tempted. You know, just like the same things we go through. He was beaten and he died. So that every sphere fear of human experience basically, he went through it for us.

[46:19] And passed. Take, take, take, take, take, take, take, take. So all the credit he accrued in his human living, he saved it in an account.

[46:29] When you come to him, he even though you have a bad record, he gives you his record before God. So when you come before God, he doesn't see your record. He sees the record of Jesus because he lived a human life.

[46:40] Thank you. For it is fitting for him in bringing many sons to glory to make the captain of their salvation perfect through suffering.

[46:57] Perfect through suffering. The Bible says that count it all joy if you go to, when you go to diverse trials and temptation. Knowing this, that the trial of your faith, the more the heat is turned up, produces maturity. He produces, he said, and let patience have its perfect work.
