We thank God you've tuned into this message by David Entry at Caris Church. No hand can help you with the fulfillment of your destiny but the Word of God. [0:11] May God's hand align you further into your destiny through this word. Matthew chapter 1. Matthew chapter 1. Reading from verse 18. [0:22] Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise. When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit. [0:42] Then Joseph, her husband, being a just man and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away bravely. [0:55] But while he thought on these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. [1:20] And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus, for he shall save his people from their sins. [1:32] Now all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which by interpretation is God with us. [1:52] Then Joseph, being raised from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him and took unto him his wife. [2:03] And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son, and he called his name Jesus. Amen. [2:14] Amen. Here ends the reading of God's word. Amen. Let's pray. Father, thank you so much. Thank you for the privilege of hearing your word, being together, lifting your name, praising your name, and hearing your word taught. [2:29] As your word is taught, give us access into your wisdom, into your power. God, give us access into your program. [2:43] Let us understand your word that our lives cannot be the same again. Let miracles be released. Let convictions take place. [2:54] Let empowerment to walk in holiness be granted. Let faith come alive. Let the world be notified that Jesus is still on the throne. [3:09] We thank you in Jesus' name. Amen. Amen. Please be seated. I've never, not never, but I've not really, as I said last Thursday, I've not really been a fan, kind of, of Christmas. [3:26] Not because of Christmas, but because I'm really not a fan of parties and celebrations. Which, there's nothing wrong with parties, there's nothing wrong with celebrations. [3:39] Jesus attended a wedding party. And the first miracle was at a feast, wedding feast. But, naturally, I am bent in a certain way that doesn't make me enjoy just giving to activities, celebrations. [4:03] So, because of that, it made me feel, really, there's no big deal about Christmas. But, recently, the sound of that word Christmas puts a leap in my heart. [4:21] When I hear the word Christmas, it puts a spark in my heart. Like Mary said, when I, at the sound of your greetings, in Luke chapter 1, from verse 41, He said, at the sound of your, the baby in my womb leapt for joy. [4:39] When I hear this, that word Christmas, when I remember, when I call to memory, Christmas, without any illustration and explanation, my heart leaps. [4:53] Why? Because of the meaning of Christmas. I am so sold out to the gospel message that anything close to the gospel message captures me entirely. [5:14] And I found out, Christmas is at the base. When I say Christmas, not the celebrations and the, but the whole, the idea, what is behind, what we are celebrating, what we are actually celebrating. [5:31] It's a very serious matter. It's a very serious matter. At the base of Christianity, without this Christianity is useless. At the base of Christianity, which a lot of people are not aware about it, they even think they are Christians. [5:44] At the base of Christianity is the deity of Christ. The real meaning of Christianity is God became man. To save man from God. [5:55] That's the meaning of Christianity. Without that, you, listen, without that you don't understand Christianity. Without that, all the nice things and good things, they are all nice. But anybody at all can do that. [6:09] What makes you a Christian is your belief in Christ. Aha. Now, if your belief in Christ is what makes you a Christian, then we have to explore what we believe about Christ. [6:24] That may, because somebody also might believe Christ is, I mean, he lived one day and he died and he's gone. Is that the belief we are talking about? So, believe in, everybody will have some belief about Christ. [6:37] But what are we talking? What is the kind of belief about Christ that makes you a Christian? And fundamentally, first and foremost foundational belief about Christ that makes any person a Christian is that Christ is God in the flesh. [6:55] Without that, people, somebody is on his way to hell. It doesn't matter how good you behave. It doesn't matter how good you behave. It doesn't matter how nice. It doesn't matter how many religious boxes you take. [7:07] It's not good enough to please God. Because Christ didn't come to save us from the devil. He came to save us from God's justice. [7:18] So, what good can you do to meet the justice of God? Now, Christmas. Now, Christmas. If Christ is God, the implication is our salvation. [7:36] If Christ is not God, the implication is our condemnation. So, the reason why, even the Apostles' Creed has it embedded in there. [7:51] Born of the Virgin Mary. Yes. Briefly, I want to talk about the Virgin birth. The Virgin birth. [8:03] I submit to you, my mother and your mother. Okay. So, some of you, when you're growing up, you didn't know. But, no mother, no mother can be a virgin. [8:18] You can never see a woman pregnant and is a virgin. But, Jesus' mother was a virgin. Hello. That's where this whole thing is going. I want to submit something to you. [8:29] Probably, we haven't noticed. The miracle was not about his birth. The birth was ordinary. [8:40] There was nothing extraordinary about his birth. The birth of Jesus Christ, when he was being born, in fact, he was born in a manger. He was born in a manger. [8:53] The woman was in labor. Because there was no room in the inn. And she was in labor. So, they found a place in the manger. And before the crusade jack, she had given birth to her first son. [9:05] She gave birth without epidural. She gave birth like that. There was nothing, watch this. [9:17] There was nothing extraordinary about his birth. The difference was in his conception. [9:29] The uniqueness about Mary's having this child, Jesus, was not their birth, but was their conception. [9:41] So, the text, the first Bible reading said, Isaiah prophesied that God will give you a sign. And God, in that sign, God will give you a son. [9:54] And in that sign, God will give you a savior. It said, the Lord himself shall give you a sign. What's the sign? [10:05] Something that has never, there have been quite interesting births, unusual births in human history. There have been kind of some interesting unusual births. [10:18] But this one is different. And it's not about the birth, but about the conception. And there are, interestingly, some misconceptions about his conception. [10:30] Some believe, some, in those days, some thought, some Roman soldier had some relation with Mary. Yeah, I'm telling you all kinds. [10:42] When people don't want to believe God, they believe in all kinds of foolishness. Yeah. Like a whole professor who can tell you that human beings just, the whole world was created by some aliens coming from some land. [10:56] A whole professor. Simply because they don't want to believe God, they end up believing very stupid things. So, you can... [11:11] So, Jesus Christ's conception was a sign from God. As I taught you some time ago, there is one in science, something that is called the parthenogenesis. [11:27] That's a conception without the seed of a male. And there are now in this even artificial parthenogenesis in some plants and some bees, you know, where they cross. [11:44] They're able to create a hybrid, or not a hybrid, sorry. An offspring without male, female crossing. [11:56] But it's not common in man. It's not common in man. There have been rare, unusual incidents, one or two in human history. [12:08] There have been over 100 billion people who have lived on this earth from Adam. And there have been only about one or two or few rare instances where a woman had, without the involvement of a man, has been pregnant. [12:28] It happens in certain animals, one in a while. It's not common in mammals. And in human beings, very rare. But in all those cases, they only produce female. [12:44] Because the female has X. It has not got the Y. It can do all kinds of scientific apparatus. It's still an X. [12:56] So, in all cases, where there's parthenogenesis, it produces only female. But God said through Isaiah, 700 years before Jesus was born, the Bible reading we had, that God, the Lord himself shall give you a sign. [13:14] Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son. That is interesting. It's going to bear a son. And the text I just read, the Bible says that the birth of Jesus was on this wise. [13:33] Matthew was not. It's the first book in the New Testament, isn't it? The first chapter in the first book of the New Testament. It said the birth of Jesus was on this wise. When, as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, shall we all say that together? [13:51] Before they came together. Please say it again. Before they came together. Before they came together. Before they came together. Before they came together. She was already found to be with child of the Holy. [14:06] The Holy Spirit has impregnated her. So this is what natural is. People who don't understand how God does this and who are so basic in their understanding. [14:22] They say, so are you trying to say the Holy Spirit had sexual relations with Mary? They didn't need to do that. The Holy Spirit is not natural being to have dark enough. [14:34] He doesn't need that. That's why she was a virgin. Her egg was fertilized or inseminated from inside. [14:49] Do you understand that? Do you understand that? God didn't have to come from outside. God is in here. God was working inside her. How did he do it? [15:00] Just by a word. God. God. In the beginning was the word. No word was with God. The word was God. In the beginning. [15:15] In the beginning. In the beginning was the word. [15:37] Thank you guys, you are the best! Bible says that this is so deep about Christmas that in the beginning was the word the word was with God and the word was God and then this word which was God God himself the verse 14 said and the word became flesh it is said that the word mutated the word transformed it was the word and became was found that is the conception the miraculous conception there's a difference between miraculous conception and immaculate what's immaculate conception my Catholic brothers have a theology which I mean not with any disrespect to they have a theology that says that Mary when the Catholics say immaculate conception they are not referring to Jesus they are referring to Mary that Mary was not conceived naturally [16:53] Mary was conceived supernaturally so she didn't even have the sin of Adam for her to be able to produce a sinless child she shouldn't have that sin so the Catholic theology puts the focus on Mary's conception how she Mary was conceived in an immaculate way and because of that it makes her conducive to be a mother of God Mary was as sinful as any human being how do you know she said herself that I'm also looking for a savior Mary sang the magnificat Luke chapter 1 from verse 40 Mary from verse 45 okay no no put it there I just saw what you put there the immaculate conception the doctrine that the virgin Mary Mary was free of original sin from the moment of her conception that is the Catholic theology which we the Pentecostals do not subscribe to that theology because Mary was as ordinary as any other human being when you study the scriptures there's no human being that was unusual even Abraham had human flaws [18:20] Abraham David Moses all of Moses was an ex-medra you know God has an interesting way of using ordinary human beings for his extraordinary purposes on earth and it's not it's not a shame to admit that I use them you didn't know I was talking about you that God wants to use you God is about to use you to accomplish some extraordinary things and your naysayers and opposers will be shocked that God chose you and God will say yes I chose him yes I chose her you knew too much about her that's why you are struggling but I still use her those who don't know much about her are happy to accept her are happy to accept him see people who don't know much about people God uses are usually very open to receive them so God used Mary and Mary as I said in Luke chapter 1 verse 45 [19:22] Mary says that blessed is she who believe let's go to the verse 46 verse 46 quickly and Mary said my soul that magnifies the Lord my spirit and my spirit has rejoiced in in she couldn't have been immaculate she needed a savior she said God is my savior so Mary was an ordinary person like all of us and God still chose her on those days people were expecting the arrival of the Messiah one way or the other and so every Jewish girl might believe that maybe God can use me one day to be the man of the Messiah maybe God might but Mary didn't expect that then in Luke chapter 1 from verse 26 Bible says God sent an angel a numerous address God sent an angel to Nazareth to a city of Nazareth city of Galilee named Nazareth to a virgin already engaged to a man alright called Joseph who is of the house of David and the virgin's name was have you seen the stress on the virgin there the stress was on the virgin and the virgin's name was Mary and the angel when she saw the angel she was afraid and the angel said blessed are you amongst women and he says the angel said to her let's go on he says that the angel said to her do not be afraid Mary for you found favor before with God and behold you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a son and shall call his name [21:04] Jesus he said wait wait wait wait I'm not yet married I'm engaged and then number two you are talking about me conceiving how can he be these are logical scientific facts she was thinking like everybody would think what do you mean by I'm going to be I'm going to be pregnant and have a baby so look at what the angel said and then no no no go back to verse 31 verse 31 behold you will conceive verse 32 says that he will be great and will be called the son what's that he will be called the son of the highest he said you are going to bring forth a son and he will be called the son of the highest you know those days that when they say the highest the most high God that's what Melchizedek said about Abraham Abraham's description said the blessed be Abraham the servant of the most high God and Elchizedek was a priest of the most high God [22:13] El Elyon they said that you are going to have a son and the angel said to Mary he will be the son of the highest and the Lord God will give him the throne of his father David who is his father his father David because Mary you are from the line of David and so he's going to inherit the throne of David then look at the next verse and he says that and he will reign over the house of Jacob this forever kingship forever reign and his king and of his kingdom there shall be no end I'm going to have this kind of child then Mary said okay that's amazing but there's a problem I'm a virgin the angel said yes that's why we came to you I came to you because this child can only be born by a virgin that's why the angel came to Mary because he had to be born by a virgin listen [23:19] I'm talking about something so fundamental in Christianity if you miss this you've missed Christianity not just about the celebrations of Christmas but the message of Christianity at the heart of the message of Christianity is the deity of God now the deity of Christ now if the deity of Christ is it really God living amongst men or is it just man with some deified status that's what the virgin birth explains I've written six points quickly and six points the implication of the virgin birth number one the implication of the virgin birth number one if you if Jesus Christ was born by a virgin that means he's not really a seed of Adam so what does that mean [24:25] Genesis chapter 3 verse 15 God prophesied God preached he preached and prophesied and the audience was Satan I've told you the first gospel ever preached was preached by God himself and he preached it to the devil so God told Satan I'll put I'll put enmity between you and the woman and between your seed and her women don't have seed women don't have seed there's no woman who can be pregnant without some brother participating so usually you are the seed of your father your father sent a seed to inseminate your mother's egg for you to start materializing so women don't have seed now let me show you something when you look at Matthew chapter 1 the genealogy of Jesus it starts with the [25:34] Matthew 1 the book of the genealogy or generations of Jesus Christ the son of David the son of Abraham then it starts verse 2 says that Abraham begot Isaac Isaac begot Jacob Jacob begot Judah and his brothers let's go on quickly let's be fair Judah begot Perez and Zerah by by that's the first woman mentioned and she wasn't a good girl she wasn't a good girl they only mentioned the bad girls why didn't they mention Sarah they should have said Abraham begot Isaac by Sarah no you know Tama Tama pretended because her father in law her husband died and her father in law didn't want to give her son normally that's the tradition if your husband died they have to give you his brother and her father in law didn't want to give so she said no I have to have children so she pretended like she was a prostitute and in the father in law day of trouble he found himself using her services she used her services and she conceived and then they came later when they found out you conceived no this son cannot be immaculate conception who is behind it who is behind it and she was quiet they called the whole family meeting quiet but when before the man used her she said before he starts when the man was ready and you know when they get to a certain level stop button stops their heart is gone if you tell them that you know it's not good they say don't worry let me die they say now now or never it must happen yes what do you want up to half of my kingdom so the man said what do you want tell me she said nothing just give me your stuff and your scarf take it let me add my coat and he had pleasure but you see you think you are playing with sin but sin is not playing with you yeah sin will always take you farther than you plan to go sin will always cost you more than you plan to pay sin will always keep you longer than you intended to stay some people understand exactly what I'm talking about you are playing with sin sin ain't playing with you so he thought he was just going to have fun [28:42] I had a good man of God say this it blessed me so much he said God is slow to wrath God is very slow to anger the anger of God takes time God is very slow to anger but the man of God said if we are slow to repent slow wrath will catch God is slow to wrath but if we are slow to repent slow wrath will catch up with us Jacob went into another story and later on it's called a meeting the woman said we have to know who did it Jacob said he has to speak then he said whoever owns this scarf he's the one then Jacob realized what so is me she's been more righteous than me they mentioned her in the genealogy so Perez and she had twins too [29:44] God has a sense of humor this woman should have given birth to some caricature but she had twins Jacob begat Perez and Zerah by Tamar Perez begat Hezron and Hezron begat Ram Ram Abinadab and Abinadab begat Nashon Nashon begat Samon Samon begat Obed Boaz Ruth Moabites Moabites are rough rubbish they can't come into the bloodline of a Jew but God integrated her and that's sorry before Ruth Rahab do you know Rahab she was not just a is it core or [30:45] I forgot she was she owned the institution can't imagine she the thing is you'll find this in any holy text that's what makes the Bible very human they brought Rahab into the bloodline of Jesus do you know why I'm just going do you know why I'll show you look at the next one so Boaz begat Ruth sorry Obed no please go back five please so Boaz begat Obed by Ruth and Moabite that's also no good at all then Obed begat Jesse Jesse begat David the king he was only who had the title that means there are so many kings but they are not recognized David the king [31:47] David the king begat Solomon another another bad woman appeared again somebody's wife but you never saw the appearance of strange man only strange women only strange women because the seed comes from the man not the woman so God can afford to just bring some other women in to the continuity of humanity so the woman gives the humanity but the seed comes from the man so that's why they mentioned men men men they brought the women in just to tell you that there are some bad girls around but Mary was the only good girl eventually verse 18 no let's go to verse 16 [32:47] I have to finish now verse 16 says but Jacob and Jacob began Joseph the husband of Mary of whom was born Jesus who is called the Christ so that's Mary was born Jesus so now verse 18 says that before when they came before they could come together this is the way Jesus Christ birth happened so focus came on Mary Mary doesn't have a seed but God has prophesied in Genesis that there's a seed that this woman is going to give women don't have seed so how did it happen God himself entered the womb by that word in the beginning was the word that word it was a word or no sorry not a word it the word that entered the egg of Mary when she was ovulating [33:52] Bible says that in the fullness of time so everything was working with time in the ovulation period the word entered her and the word that entered her fertilized the egg so then who you really are your where you are coming from your real you is from the seed you carry every one of us was born in Adam we are all continuation and offshoot of Adam but Christ is not just he's not a seed of Adam he's the seed of the woman not a seed of Adam even though the humanity of Adam was part of the woman gave her Christ is the seed of God that's why the woman had to be a virgin a virgin who has not been visited by any man nobody has visited her her womb has not been touched and [35:03] God himself starts watch this you see people who you always have a problem you know if you don't believe in miracles you have problems because creation was a miracle creation is a miracle it's not repeatable for you to try and discover it by science you were not there when the one who created is telling us how he created it you said no you are wrong so number one Christ the virgin birth means that he is not the seed of Adam that is very important let me look up let me show you that number two Bible in second Corinthians chapter chapter chapter 15 verse 45 first Corinthians 15 verse 5 talks about how and so it is written the first man is it okay we've read it from the screen shall we let's go let's go oh it looks like there are two Adams okay the first man is called [36:08] Adam but there's another last Adam the last Adam I submit to you is Jesus Christ okay the last Adam so the original father of Adam who is Adam's father God because Adam came directly from God Adam came I can give you a text in Luke chapter 4 sorry chapter 3 verse 38 I think the last verse Luke 3 38 I believe so Enos son sorry and the son of Enos sorry the son of Enos the son of Seth the son of Adam the son of so Adam whose father is who is Adam's father what does that mean it means that Adam his origin came from God so he became all of us and what happened to Adam which is called the original sin you don't have to sin once you are born you're already stained and tainted with that nature that's very important so everybody who is born is tainted and tainted with that nature so needs a savior as long as you're born in [37:26] Romans chapter 5 verse 12 it said sin and death therefore just as through one man sin entered the world and death through sin and death spread to all men because of sin through one man so because of what Adam did because of what Adam did one person's sin how many of you understand federal representation representation UK we have parliamentarians so your MP when he goes to parliament what he says he says on your behalf you can say I don't agree with him he said it for you the parliament is working because he's your representative so whether you agree or not he's representing you yes Adam was representing us so whatever he voted for we have voted for and he voted to disobey God and so Bible says that we all became disobedient verse Romans chapter 5 verse 17 and verse 19 look at verse 17 for if by one man's offense death reigned through that one man and much more those who receive abundance of grace let's go verse 19 for us by one man's disobedience many were made sinners many were made sinners it's one man he did his own thing and all of us it's not fair it's not fair what's not fair [38:52] God has brought a second Adam that through his obedience many will be made so it's not what you did what he did is what determines your stage before God so in in Adam all died he was not in that's why he's not necessarily the seed of Adam do you understand that that's why he's not necessarily because he's the last Adam he's the second man the first man took us in a certain direction the second man is taking us to a certain direction the first man is taking us to hell the second man is bringing us to heaven so if you are born we are all born into the first man if you want to change direction you have to be born another time do you understand that your first birth gives you puts you into Adam your second birth puts you into [39:54] Christ who is the last Adam or the second man so then what am I saying the point here his virgin birth made God made his direct source the male seed that was responsible for him is God just as the male seed responsible for Adam if I should say that was God so there are only two human beings who came directly from God men one is the first Adam or the first man Adam and then the other one is the last Adam or the second man Christ so the virgin birth made him directly from does that make sense quickly number three oh I like number three this the song had the herald angels sing glory to the new king peace on earth and mercy! [40:51] God and sinners reconcile the second stanza says that Christ by highest heaven adore Christ the everlasting Lord late in time behold he came offspring of the virgin's womb I like that the next point offspring of the veiled in the flesh veiled in flesh the God had seen hail the incarnate deity now this please with us with flesh to dwell that bit some older versions some older versions render differently some older versions put it this way they put it the he was begotten not created so Christ even though he was born he was not created like you and I we are creatures he is not a creature because he existed before he was born he was the only one who existed before he was born right how many of you existed before you were born he only one who chose his date of birth he chose the day he chose the day he died and when he got up it is not ordinary so the point here is that the virgin birth the implication is the significance is that [42:19] Jesus Christ was God begotten but not made he wasn't made he wasn't created that's why he existed and then chose to wrap himself in the womb of a woman to be born that means he existed already virgin birth he was there and then he just wrapped himself does that make sense quick the next one quickly because I have to round up now this was good the angel told Mary he will be called the son of God if he was born by a virgin that means that he is not somebody son who is his father God that is bringing the message of Christianity home he says if you don't believe Jesus is the son of God I almost said it the way the Bible says but now it is political correctness I was going to if you don't believe Jesus is the son of [43:19] God you don't have a home in heaven that's the only thing that guarantees your place in heaven it's strange it's interesting he says the son of God the reason why he was born by a virgin is because he is the son of God no man can claim ownership of him the Bible never called Joseph his! [43:45] Joseph was his father but the Bible always in Matthew chapter 1 we told Joseph take the son take the child and his mother take the child and his son not your son and even in Matthew the one we just read earlier on it says that before they could come together she was found to be with child and then he had a dream that Jacob when he was thinking of had a dream and while I was thinking of these things an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said Joseph son of David do not be afraid to take Mary to be your wife for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit look at the next verse and she will bring forth your son she is going to give birth to a son not your son he's a son of God so the virgin birth makes him not the son of man not the son of a human being no matter what virgin birth makes him without the original sin see that sin that came through [44:52] Adam that was transferred to every human being that arrives he didn't get it so when we say Jesus was without sin we are not just talking about he didn't commit sin which he didn't but the original sin that makes all men sinners he didn't have that original sin so he cannot be classified! [45:20] verse 15 that this is a faithful saying Christ came into the world to save sinners Jesus himself said I came to save sinners he couldn't be one of the people he came to save so he wasn't a sinner but that is very important because he was born by a virgin he didn't have the original sin how did the virgin conceive we know it already supernatural conception the supernatural conception made him not have the full transfer of Adam's sin and nature including the sin the woman carried the human nature but the man carried the sin nature that's why everybody has a father and if you have a father that means you are a sinner and you need your sin you don't have to do anything but the day you are born you! [46:18] haven't done anything you are a sinner that's why no child gets born laughing have you seen a child was born no they cry that oh no and their fists are always clenched every child people are born with clenched fists they die with open arms number six quickly the only way he could be truly man and truly God was through the virgin! [46:46] birthed so he was 100% human being and yet 100% God he wasn't 50-50 and the virgin birth was at the base of that so that God could disseminate an egg of a human being in her womb with his nature and so that seed that was growing was fully God he had the nature of God the word became flesh so the word wrapped himself so it was fully the word not like as I said eggs and then they clean out the one leg you know deformed eggs no it was fully the word which took on flesh so that's why the virgin birth it made it possible for him to be fully or the theological terminology is truly truly and fully but truly in every sense of the word he was man and in every sense of the word he was [47:52] God and then finally the implication of the virgin birth is the only way he could be qualified to be all sufficient or the all sufficient savior of the world if he wasn't born by a virgin he would the original sin and he couldn't be the savior of the world he couldn't be the savior of the world because do you know he would have needed a savior so he would have been asked can you sit aside you need a savior too but Mary says that God my savior Jesus is the only human being who lived and never needed a savior why because he was born by a virgin born by a woman born by a woman makes him entirely human entirely human Galatians 4 4 shall we read it from the screen if you so wish let's go when the fullness of time was come [48:52] God sent forth did you notice that terminology God sent he's already there God sent him forth he sent him forth and when he got to the earth he was born by a woman he never had humanity until he was conceived his conception gave him humanity God was never human but in his conception in Jesus' conception or in his incarnation God for the first time became human so that he has to be God to be able to take up watch this watch this is a serious one to be able to absorb all the wrath the full wrath of God even the whole universe cannot accommodate the full wrath of God it to bless us one it's only God who can absorb all the full wrath of [49:57] God infinitely on our behalf so that's why he actually had to be God in the flesh so when he died on the cross he was absorbing all the wrath of God against him the virgin thank thank you for listening to this message by David Entry we pray you have been strengthened and enlightened you can connect with David Entry on all relevant social media platforms including Instagram and LinkedIn you can also hear more messages from David Entry on all relevant streaming platforms and the Caras Church app don't forget to like and share the message be blessed you
