00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.859
 Let's begin our worship singing in Psalm 95.

00:00:03.760 --> 00:00:07.759
 Psalm number 95 in the Scottish Psalter, that's on page 357.

00:00:09.339 --> 00:00:13.220
 The tune is Lingam, verses 1 to 6.

00:00:14.580 --> 00:00:21.440
 O come, let us sing to the Lord. Come, let us everyone a joyful noise make to the rock of our salvation.

00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:25.800
 Let us before his presence come with praise and thankful voice.

00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:30.800
 Let us sing psalms to him with grace and make a joyful noise.

00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:34.980
 Verses 1 to 6, and if you're able to stand, please stand for the singing.

00:00:55.799 --> 00:01:17.039
 A joyful noise make to the rock of our salvation, of our salvation, of our salvation, of our salvation.

00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:29.040
 Let us before his presence come with praise and thankful voice.

00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:33.040
 Let us sing psalms to him with praise and make a joyful noise.

00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:47.040
 Let us sing psalms to him with praise and make a joyful noise.

00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:57.040
 And make a joyful noise.

00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:14.040
 For God a great, God a great King, above all God's He is, above all God's He is.

00:02:14.039 --> 00:02:44.019
 The strength of His, above all God's He is.

00:02:44.020 --> 00:02:48.020
 hymn I am magnified.

00:02:48.020 --> 00:02:51.020
 For God's Jesus, above all God's He is.

00:02:51.020 --> 00:02:53.020
 Before His, above all God's He is on earth.

00:02:53.020 --> 00:02:59.020
 For God's He is a great King of His, above all God's He is.

00:02:59.020 --> 00:03:15.500
 His hands, it's for my worship here, it's for my worship here, it's for my worship here.

00:03:15.500 --> 00:03:40.580
 O come, let us worship him, let us bow down with all, let us bow down with all, and on our knees before the Lord.

00:03:40.580 --> 00:03:56.340
 O come, let us bow down with all, let us bow down with all, let us bow down with all.

00:04:00.340 --> 00:04:01.900
 Let's now join together in prayer.

00:04:01.900 --> 00:04:06.460
 Our prayer at this point is for the young folks in the Sunday School and tweenies especially.

00:04:06.460 --> 00:04:08.460
 So let's join together in prayer.

00:04:10.580 --> 00:04:16.520
 Lord our God, we give thanks that you have reminded us and taught us in these great words we have sung,

00:04:16.520 --> 00:04:21.759
 that you are our God and our King, that you are worthy of all our worship,

00:04:22.500 --> 00:04:29.460
 that you are the one who has created us and brought us into being and sustains us, keeps us from day to day.

00:04:29.459 --> 00:04:36.199
 We thank you today that we are here together in relation to the gospel, to the worship of your name.

00:04:36.839 --> 00:04:47.979
 Help us to be, as we were singing, a people who draw near to God, to give him thanks, to call upon his name, to receive our strength from you.

00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:58.339
 Blessed today we pray, our young people, we give thanks for them and we give thanks that they are assured they belong to the congregation and are valuable to us.

00:04:58.339 --> 00:05:02.319
 We give thanks, Lord, especially that they are precious in your eyes.

00:05:02.919 --> 00:05:05.299
 We pray that your blessing will be with them today.

00:05:06.179 --> 00:05:12.139
 And as they receive teaching from your word, help them, we pray, to take this into their own hearts

00:05:12.139 --> 00:05:17.779
 and enable them to act accordingly and live in accordance with your truth.

00:05:17.779 --> 00:05:22.159
 And keep them as well in the world, O Lord, from all that is harmful.

00:05:23.119 --> 00:05:25.939
 Shield them about, we pray, with your own protective care.

00:05:26.779 --> 00:05:33.259
 And give them from day to day to know that you are their God and their King also.

00:05:34.039 --> 00:05:39.759
 So bless them now, we pray, and help them in all that they do in school and in their time of holiday

00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:46.339
 to reflect upon God and to think upon him and to realize the preciousness of knowing him

00:05:46.339 --> 00:05:48.759
 and of placing their trust in him.

00:05:49.620 --> 00:05:53.159
 Hear us now, we pray, and pardon our sin for Jesus' sake.

00:05:53.420 --> 00:05:53.719
 Amen.

00:05:56.759 --> 00:06:03.139
 Okay, today I'm going to ask you to remember 3, 2, 1.

00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:04.819
 Do you think I'll remember that?

00:06:04.819 --> 00:06:07.980
 3, 2, 1.

00:06:08.699 --> 00:06:09.680
 Quite easy to remember.

00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:12.139
 What do I mean remembering 3, 2, 1?

00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:19.019
 Well, 3 days, 2 events, and 1 person.

00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:23.000
 Can anybody think of what the 3 days might be?

00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:30.740
 The 3 days are the 3 days from the time that Jesus was crucified

00:06:30.740 --> 00:06:35.500
 until he rose from the dead 3 days after that.

00:06:36.340 --> 00:06:38.759
 3 important days.

00:06:38.920 --> 00:06:45.220
 Probably the 3 most important days in the whole history of the world or of mankind.

00:06:45.939 --> 00:06:54.800
 Because in these 3 days, the Son of God, Jesus, gave himself to die on the cross for our sins.

00:06:55.259 --> 00:07:00.120
 The middle day, nothing happened, but his body was still in the tomb.

00:07:00.740 --> 00:07:06.360
 And then on the 3rd day, he rose again from the dead, conquering death.

00:07:07.960 --> 00:07:13.060
 And so went afterwards back to heaven to God's right hand.

00:07:13.819 --> 00:07:16.720
 3 important days.

00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:22.820
 And the things that happened on these 3 important days are also important events.

00:07:22.940 --> 00:07:28.400
 So 3 important days, but 2 important events.

00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:32.340
 Firstly, his death on the cross.

00:07:33.200 --> 00:07:38.560
 And then secondly, his resurrection arising from the dead.

00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:39.560
 2 important events.

00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:44.500
 2 important events during these 3 important days.

00:07:44.939 --> 00:07:52.180
 His death on the cross was the death that was due to us for our sins.

00:07:53.019 --> 00:07:57.340
 But he took our sins and he died that death.

00:07:57.339 --> 00:08:03.659
 And after he had died, his body was placed in the sepulcher.

00:08:04.659 --> 00:08:11.759
 And the death of Jesus is presented in the Bible to us as so, so important.

00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:18.899
 Because by his death and then his resurrection afterwards, we come to be saved.

00:08:19.379 --> 00:08:26.240
 When we come to trust in him, all that he did by his death on the cross and his resurrection from the grave,

00:08:26.819 --> 00:08:33.620
 all that he did, all that that means, the salvation that that obtained for us,

00:08:34.120 --> 00:08:36.919
 becomes ours as we trust in him.

00:08:36.919 --> 00:08:44.159
 So the 2 important events, the death of Jesus and the resurrection of Jesus.

00:08:44.759 --> 00:08:50.219
 You'll find in the Gospels a description of how the disciples, Peter and John especially,

00:08:50.579 --> 00:08:52.500
 went to where he had been buried.

00:08:53.379 --> 00:08:54.620
 And his body wasn't there.

00:08:55.799 --> 00:08:57.099
 And 2 angels were there.

00:08:58.219 --> 00:09:00.759
 And they were told that he had risen from the dead.

00:09:00.759 --> 00:09:06.919
 And he met with them afterwards, sometime later, and with others.

00:09:08.279 --> 00:09:09.799
 Because he was now alive.

00:09:10.879 --> 00:09:16.500
 And that is the most important event along with his death in the history of the world.

00:09:16.939 --> 00:09:18.019
 Three important days.

00:09:19.279 --> 00:09:20.600
 Two important events.

00:09:21.819 --> 00:09:23.480
 One important person.

00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:27.779
 Because it's all about Jesus.

00:09:27.779 --> 00:09:30.939
 It's all about Jesus.

00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:34.000
 This Bible is all about Jesus.

00:09:34.220 --> 00:09:40.419
 The Lord describes God the Father, God the Holy Spirit, ourselves, the creation, so many, many things.

00:09:41.439 --> 00:09:45.100
 But Jesus really is the main figure in it.

00:09:45.699 --> 00:09:49.480
 The Savior who came to save us as sinners.

00:09:50.939 --> 00:09:51.919
 3-2-1.

00:09:51.919 --> 00:09:58.559
 If I ask you tomorrow, 3-2-1, do you think you'll remember what 3-2-1 means?

00:09:59.299 --> 00:10:00.240
 I know you will.

00:10:01.259 --> 00:10:01.959
 Three days.

00:10:02.819 --> 00:10:03.599
 Two events.

00:10:04.519 --> 00:10:06.179
 One person.

00:10:07.379 --> 00:10:07.679
 Okay.

00:10:08.139 --> 00:10:09.500
 We're going to say the Lord's Prayer together.

00:10:09.599 --> 00:10:10.539
 Let's say the Lord's Prayer.

00:10:11.839 --> 00:10:16.059
 Our Father, which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.

00:10:16.659 --> 00:10:17.819
 Thy kingdom come.

00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:21.099
 Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

00:10:21.100 --> 00:10:23.680
 Give us this day our daily bread.

00:10:23.899 --> 00:10:27.680
 And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors.

00:10:27.879 --> 00:10:31.980
 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

00:10:32.460 --> 00:10:36.399
 For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever.

00:10:37.060 --> 00:10:37.560
 Amen.

00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:41.759
 We're going to sing again now to God's praise this time.

00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:42.840
 It's in Psalm 40.

00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:47.200
 Sing Psalms in Psalm 40, verses 1-5.

00:10:48.660 --> 00:10:49.720
 The tune is Walton.

00:10:49.720 --> 00:10:53.160
 I waited long upon the Lord.

00:10:53.300 --> 00:10:55.220
 He heard my cry and turned to me.

00:10:56.000 --> 00:10:57.960
 He raised me from the slimy pit.

00:10:58.440 --> 00:11:00.759
 And from the mire he pulled me free.

00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:05.300
 He set my feet on solid rock, a place to stand both firm and broad.

00:11:06.019 --> 00:11:07.840
 He put a new song in my mouth.

00:11:08.300 --> 00:11:11.200
 A joyful hymn of praise to God.

00:11:11.300 --> 00:11:13.220
 Verses 1-5 of Psalm 40.

00:11:13.220 --> 00:11:15.680
 I waited long upon the Lord.

00:11:15.680 --> 00:11:15.700
 I waited long upon the Lord.

00:11:15.700 --> 00:11:36.759
 He heard my cry and turned to me.

00:11:36.759 --> 00:11:45.000
 He raised me from the slimy pit.

00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:53.000
 And from the mire he pulled me free.

00:11:53.000 --> 00:12:11.000
 He set my feet on solid rock, a place to stand both firm and broad.

00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:19.000
 He put a new song in my mouth.

00:12:19.000 --> 00:12:21.000
 And from the mire he put a new song in my mouth.

00:12:21.000 --> 00:12:24.580
 And from the mire he puts a new song in my mouth.

00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:25.220
 And from the mire he put a new song in my mouth.

00:12:25.220 --> 00:12:28.360
 to God.

00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:33.920
 Then he will live with

00:12:33.920 --> 00:12:40.160
 godly fear, and on the

00:12:40.160 --> 00:12:44.420
 Lord alone rely.

00:12:45.779 --> 00:12:50.639
 Blessed are they who

00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:54.620
 trust the Lord, who

00:12:54.620 --> 00:13:00.440
 shone the proud and lost

00:13:00.440 --> 00:13:03.019
 the light.

00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:09.799
 The wonders you have done,

00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:15.679
 O Lord, how many and

00:13:15.679 --> 00:13:19.659
 how great they are.

00:13:19.659 --> 00:13:24.879
 Your plans, what else are

00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:28.939
 far beyond our

00:13:28.939 --> 00:13:30.819
 how to

00:13:30.819 --> 00:13:35.480
 number or declare.

00:13:35.480 --> 00:13:42.420
 Let's turn now to read God's word.

00:13:43.379 --> 00:13:45.480
 We find that today in Acts chapter 4,

00:13:47.220 --> 00:13:49.820
 book of the Acts of the Apostles, chapter 4.

00:13:50.800 --> 00:13:52.940
 We're going to read verses 1 to 22.

00:13:52.940 --> 00:14:10.400
 This is just following on the account we have of Peter and John and some of the ways in which they addressed the people.

00:14:10.399 --> 00:14:13.679
 So at chapter 4 at the beginning,

00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:15.459
 as they were speaking to the people,

00:14:16.220 --> 00:14:19.699
 the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came upon them,

00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:26.360
 greatly annoyed because they were teaching the people and proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.

00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:33.159
 And they arrested them and put them in custody until the next day, for it was already evening.

00:14:33.159 --> 00:14:39.879
 But many of those who had heard the word believed, and the number of the men came to about five thousand.

00:14:40.839 --> 00:14:52.279
 On the next day, the rulers and elders and scribes gathered together in Jerusalem with Annas, the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and all who were of the high priestly family.

00:14:52.279 --> 00:14:56.120
 And when they had set them in the midst, they inquired,

00:14:56.779 --> 00:14:59.899
 By what power or by what name did you do this?

00:15:00.740 --> 00:15:03.480
 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them,

00:15:04.279 --> 00:15:11.059
 Rulers of the people and elders, if we are being examined today concerning a good deed done to a crippled man,

00:15:11.720 --> 00:15:13.819
 by what means this man has been healed,

00:15:14.579 --> 00:15:18.259
 let it be known to all of you and all the people of Israel

00:15:18.259 --> 00:15:21.799
 that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth,

00:15:22.220 --> 00:15:23.259
 whom you crucified,

00:15:24.100 --> 00:15:25.620
 whom God raised from the dead,

00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:29.439
 by him this man is standing before you well.

00:15:30.439 --> 00:15:34.620
 This Jesus is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders,

00:15:35.159 --> 00:15:37.080
 which has become the cornerstone.

00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:40.100
 And there is salvation in no one else,

00:15:40.879 --> 00:15:44.220
 for there is no other name under heaven given among men

00:15:44.220 --> 00:15:46.539
 by which we must be saved.

00:15:46.539 --> 00:15:50.079
 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John,

00:15:50.659 --> 00:15:53.439
 and perceived that they were uneducated, common men,

00:15:53.879 --> 00:15:54.980
 they were astonished,

00:15:55.500 --> 00:15:58.139
 and they recognized that they had been with Jesus.

00:15:59.259 --> 00:16:02.579
 But seeing the man who was healed standing beside them,

00:16:03.059 --> 00:16:04.839
 they had nothing to say in opposition.

00:16:05.799 --> 00:16:07.860
 But when they had commanded them to leave the council,

00:16:08.379 --> 00:16:10.079
 they conferred with one another,

00:16:10.620 --> 00:16:10.980
 saying,

00:16:11.419 --> 00:16:13.059
 What shall we do with these men?

00:16:13.059 --> 00:16:16.859
 For that a notable sign has been performed through them

00:16:16.859 --> 00:16:19.799
 is evident to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem,

00:16:19.799 --> 00:16:21.399
 and we cannot deny it.

00:16:22.299 --> 00:16:24.879
 But in order that it spread no further among the people,

00:16:25.599 --> 00:16:29.199
 let us warn them to speak no more to anyone in this name.

00:16:30.219 --> 00:16:31.059
 So they called them,

00:16:31.539 --> 00:16:34.439
 and charged them not to speak or teach at all

00:16:34.439 --> 00:16:35.879
 in the name of Jesus.

00:16:35.879 --> 00:16:38.700
 But Peter and John answered them,

00:16:39.419 --> 00:16:41.299
 Whether it is right in the sight of God

00:16:41.299 --> 00:16:43.220
 to listen to you rather than to God,

00:16:43.700 --> 00:16:44.539
 you must judge,

00:16:45.379 --> 00:16:46.860
 for we cannot but speak

00:16:46.860 --> 00:16:48.899
 of what we have seen and heard.

00:16:49.679 --> 00:16:51.439
 And when they had further threatened them,

00:16:51.939 --> 00:16:52.779
 they let them go,

00:16:53.080 --> 00:16:54.559
 finding no way to punish them,

00:16:55.039 --> 00:16:56.120
 because of the people,

00:16:56.620 --> 00:16:59.259
 for all were praising God for what had happened.

00:16:59.259 --> 00:17:03.340
 For the man on whom this sign of healing was performed

00:17:03.340 --> 00:17:07.240
 was more than forty years old.

00:17:08.519 --> 00:17:09.039
 Amen.

00:17:09.160 --> 00:17:12.460
 May God follow with this blessing that reading of his word.

00:17:12.940 --> 00:17:14.819
 Let's again call upon his name in prayer.

00:17:17.779 --> 00:17:19.180
 Our gracious God,

00:17:19.819 --> 00:17:23.420
 we give thanks for the assurance that your word gives us

00:17:23.420 --> 00:17:26.319
 of your own resurrection from the dead,

00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:29.339
 that you preside over all things

00:17:29.339 --> 00:17:33.059
 for your church and the happenings of this world.

00:17:34.099 --> 00:17:35.500
 We thank you today, Lord,

00:17:35.559 --> 00:17:37.059
 that we are gathered to worship you.

00:17:37.879 --> 00:17:40.720
 We would not be here without the desire to worship you.

00:17:41.439 --> 00:17:43.019
 We pray that that desire, Lord,

00:17:43.119 --> 00:17:45.200
 may find its fruition

00:17:45.200 --> 00:17:49.259
 in another knowledge of you in our hearts,

00:17:49.359 --> 00:17:52.419
 another experience of your spirit

00:17:52.419 --> 00:17:54.720
 applying your word to us.

00:17:54.720 --> 00:17:58.720
 Lord, we pray today that as we gather here,

00:17:58.839 --> 00:18:00.480
 so you would come to meet with us.

00:18:01.100 --> 00:18:03.559
 We thank you that you indwell your people

00:18:03.559 --> 00:18:05.019
 by your Holy Spirit.

00:18:05.940 --> 00:18:08.539
 We pray that we may know that you are here in our midst.

00:18:09.279 --> 00:18:10.759
 We ask for your blessing.

00:18:10.940 --> 00:18:12.140
 We pray for your blessing.

00:18:12.880 --> 00:18:15.079
 But we know that without your blessing, O Lord,

00:18:15.920 --> 00:18:18.480
 the purpose of our gathering will not be fulfilled.

00:18:19.259 --> 00:18:21.799
 Even though we could find ourselves following

00:18:21.799 --> 00:18:25.240
 matter and form in our worship and in our gathering,

00:18:25.680 --> 00:18:28.399
 it is your spirit alone that quickens us.

00:18:29.139 --> 00:18:32.440
 It is your spirit alone that applies your word savingly to us.

00:18:33.259 --> 00:18:35.220
 We pray to you today that that spirit

00:18:35.220 --> 00:18:38.960
 will actually be manifested in our midst

00:18:38.960 --> 00:18:41.139
 and active in our own experience.

00:18:41.140 --> 00:18:44.120
 We ask your blessing today, Lord,

00:18:44.700 --> 00:18:46.460
 upon all the gatherings of your people,

00:18:46.560 --> 00:18:47.380
 wherever they be.

00:18:48.340 --> 00:18:50.180
 We thank you today that there are many,

00:18:50.380 --> 00:18:51.720
 many people throughout the world

00:18:51.720 --> 00:18:55.340
 who gather as we do on this Lord's Day,

00:18:56.040 --> 00:18:57.660
 a day that reminds us, O Lord,

00:18:57.740 --> 00:19:01.080
 and teaches us of your own resurrection from the dead,

00:19:01.720 --> 00:19:03.360
 not only at this time of year,

00:19:03.480 --> 00:19:05.620
 but every Lord's Day that passes,

00:19:06.360 --> 00:19:09.140
 every Lord's Day that we come to experience,

00:19:09.140 --> 00:19:11.800
 is one that reminds us of the resurrection

00:19:11.800 --> 00:19:13.320
 of our Lord from the dead.

00:19:14.140 --> 00:19:15.640
 And we do thank you today, Lord,

00:19:15.740 --> 00:19:17.220
 for this reminder once again,

00:19:17.860 --> 00:19:19.380
 as we gather here today,

00:19:20.040 --> 00:19:22.100
 that we come before you to give thanks

00:19:22.100 --> 00:19:23.340
 for the risen Jesus,

00:19:24.160 --> 00:19:26.500
 for the Christ who died and rose from the dead,

00:19:27.259 --> 00:19:29.920
 and from the way that in being made acceptable

00:19:29.920 --> 00:19:31.320
 to yourself in all,

00:19:31.940 --> 00:19:34.980
 that he did as his Father in heaven.

00:19:34.980 --> 00:19:37.420
 So we too are gathered, Lord,

00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:39.660
 under all that he has obtained,

00:19:40.519 --> 00:19:42.920
 and pray and plead these things in your presence

00:19:42.920 --> 00:19:45.019
 for our acceptance also.

00:19:45.819 --> 00:19:48.400
 We ask your blessing to be with us here as a congregation.

00:19:49.400 --> 00:19:51.400
 We pray that all our activities, Lord,

00:19:51.480 --> 00:19:54.220
 in association with the life of the congregation

00:19:54.220 --> 00:19:56.599
 may go on being blessed by you.

00:19:57.360 --> 00:19:59.860
 We thank you for every encouragement that you give us,

00:20:00.460 --> 00:20:02.400
 that your work is going on amongst us,

00:20:02.400 --> 00:20:03.600
 that your Spirit is active,

00:20:04.340 --> 00:20:06.920
 that your people are engaged in the work of the Gospel,

00:20:07.780 --> 00:20:09.660
 that there are others who are interested, Lord,

00:20:09.759 --> 00:20:12.980
 in the Gospel and in all that it has to say to them.

00:20:13.580 --> 00:20:15.800
 We pray today that for each one of us,

00:20:16.300 --> 00:20:19.780
 your Word may be alive and vibrant in our experience,

00:20:20.500 --> 00:20:22.600
 that we may know it, Lord, as your Word,

00:20:23.280 --> 00:20:25.900
 piercing into the inmost parts of our souls

00:20:25.900 --> 00:20:29.360
 and giving us to further our knowledge of you

00:20:29.360 --> 00:20:32.860
 and giving us especially to rejoice in your salvation,

00:20:33.680 --> 00:20:36.019
 to rejoice in the victory that you have achieved

00:20:36.019 --> 00:20:38.820
 in your triumph over sin and over death.

00:20:39.880 --> 00:20:40.980
 So bless, we pray,

00:20:41.560 --> 00:20:43.940
 each and every aspect of the congregation's life,

00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:46.740
 every home, every family, every individual.

00:20:47.259 --> 00:20:49.740
 We commend ourselves, Lord, to you today

00:20:49.740 --> 00:20:52.200
 and ask that you would richly bless us

00:20:52.200 --> 00:20:55.620
 even beyond what we are able to ask or even think.

00:20:56.580 --> 00:20:58.799
 Remember those of our number today

00:20:58.799 --> 00:21:00.039
 who cannot be with us,

00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:03.000
 those at home through illness or old age,

00:21:03.100 --> 00:21:03.940
 we pray for them.

00:21:04.680 --> 00:21:06.840
 We thank you for the facility of livestream

00:21:06.840 --> 00:21:10.500
 by which they and others are able to partake

00:21:10.500 --> 00:21:11.840
 of this time of worship.

00:21:12.660 --> 00:21:14.420
 We pray that you would be with them, Lord,

00:21:14.500 --> 00:21:15.519
 in their circumstances.

00:21:16.420 --> 00:21:18.380
 We pray for those who are receiving treatment

00:21:18.380 --> 00:21:19.180
 at this time.

00:21:19.860 --> 00:21:21.160
 We ask that you would be pleased

00:21:21.160 --> 00:21:23.480
 to bless that to them and bless them under it.

00:21:24.200 --> 00:21:25.740
 We pray that you would bless those

00:21:25.740 --> 00:21:28.300
 who are anticipating treatment or surgery

00:21:28.300 --> 00:21:29.240
 in days to come.

00:21:29.960 --> 00:21:33.060
 We ask, Lord, that you would be with them also

00:21:33.060 --> 00:21:36.300
 to give them the calmness of heart and of mind

00:21:36.300 --> 00:21:38.300
 that would trust in yourself

00:21:38.300 --> 00:21:42.100
 and realize that all things do work together for good

00:21:42.100 --> 00:21:44.040
 to those who love the Lord,

00:21:44.660 --> 00:21:46.460
 who are called according to His purpose.

00:21:46.460 --> 00:21:48.579
 We pray too, O Lord,

00:21:48.660 --> 00:21:53.059
 for those who at this time are anxious over loved ones,

00:21:53.920 --> 00:21:56.480
 those who have difficulties of mental health,

00:21:57.180 --> 00:21:59.019
 difficult to do with addictions,

00:21:59.920 --> 00:22:02.779
 other things that cause anxiety among families,

00:22:03.600 --> 00:22:05.279
 those who have bereavement and sorrow

00:22:05.279 --> 00:22:06.299
 to contend with,

00:22:06.779 --> 00:22:08.140
 the loss of loved ones.

00:22:08.259 --> 00:22:09.759
 We commend them all to you today

00:22:09.759 --> 00:22:13.200
 and ask, O Lord, as we come together here

00:22:13.200 --> 00:22:15.720
 that we would remember them constantly,

00:22:16.480 --> 00:22:18.860
 for we know that there are so many in the world

00:22:18.860 --> 00:22:20.680
 who have problems greater than our own.

00:22:21.660 --> 00:22:23.059
 We pray for those today, Lord,

00:22:23.160 --> 00:22:26.640
 who watch over loved ones injured in hospital.

00:22:27.480 --> 00:22:29.559
 We pray again for William Graham

00:22:29.559 --> 00:22:32.660
 as he spends time in recovery.

00:22:33.480 --> 00:22:35.519
 Lord, we pray that your good hand

00:22:35.519 --> 00:22:36.759
 will be upon him today

00:22:36.759 --> 00:22:38.779
 and that the slight improvements

00:22:38.779 --> 00:22:40.480
 that he has shown over the past week

00:22:40.480 --> 00:22:43.140
 will themselves be an indication,

00:22:43.460 --> 00:22:44.839
 Lord, that your hand is upon him.

00:22:45.619 --> 00:22:46.920
 We pray that your good hand

00:22:46.920 --> 00:22:48.940
 will lead him to further health and strength,

00:22:49.660 --> 00:22:51.140
 be with Morag and with the family

00:22:51.140 --> 00:22:53.180
 at this anxious time for them

00:22:53.180 --> 00:22:55.779
 and with all in the wider family as well.

00:22:56.420 --> 00:22:57.859
 We ask, O gracious God,

00:22:58.480 --> 00:23:01.819
 that you be pleased to lay your healing touch upon him,

00:23:02.460 --> 00:23:04.339
 be near to him in his soul as well.

00:23:04.339 --> 00:23:07.419
 Lord, we thank you that even when outwardly

00:23:07.419 --> 00:23:08.720
 there may be little sign

00:23:08.720 --> 00:23:13.179
 or only a small sign of consciousness,

00:23:13.459 --> 00:23:15.599
 yet, Lord, we know that you are able

00:23:15.599 --> 00:23:17.579
 to reach into our inmost soul.

00:23:18.159 --> 00:23:19.740
 So we pray for him and for his family

00:23:19.740 --> 00:23:20.819
 and commend them to you

00:23:20.819 --> 00:23:22.539
 and all other families today

00:23:22.539 --> 00:23:25.039
 who have experiences like this

00:23:25.039 --> 00:23:27.759
 and who we know may not belong to us

00:23:27.759 --> 00:23:28.539
 as a congregation,

00:23:28.720 --> 00:23:30.339
 and yet we know of them

00:23:30.339 --> 00:23:31.759
 and we know of them in our community.

00:23:32.399 --> 00:23:33.919
 We pray for them again today.

00:23:34.740 --> 00:23:35.699
 Bless us as a nation.

00:23:35.919 --> 00:23:38.079
 Bless us in these tumultuous times.

00:23:38.839 --> 00:23:41.639
 We ask for your own blessing, Lord,

00:23:41.740 --> 00:23:43.279
 for those in government over us.

00:23:44.000 --> 00:23:46.019
 We pray that you would lead them in your ways.

00:23:46.779 --> 00:23:47.859
 Help them to value

00:23:47.859 --> 00:23:50.419
 and to live by your truths,

00:23:50.659 --> 00:23:52.019
 your commands, your promises.

00:23:53.019 --> 00:23:54.119
 We long for the day, Lord,

00:23:54.179 --> 00:23:56.759
 when we will see a movement of that kind

00:23:56.759 --> 00:23:57.419
 in our nation.

00:23:58.139 --> 00:23:59.679
 We pray to you as the God

00:23:59.679 --> 00:24:00.839
 who is able to do this

00:24:00.839 --> 00:24:03.459
 and turn us again into your ways.

00:24:04.359 --> 00:24:06.359
 So be with us now throughout the day, we pray.

00:24:07.199 --> 00:24:08.799
 Hear us now and pardon our sins

00:24:08.799 --> 00:24:11.179
 and cleanse us for Jesus' sake.

00:24:11.439 --> 00:24:11.759
 Amen.

00:24:11.759 --> 00:24:15.400
 We'll sing once more

00:24:15.400 --> 00:24:18.119
 before we turn back to this passage of Scripture

00:24:18.119 --> 00:24:19.039
 in the book of Acts.

00:24:19.940 --> 00:24:21.500
 We'll sing in Psalm 68

00:24:21.500 --> 00:24:23.519
 in the Scottish Psalter,

00:24:24.240 --> 00:24:25.500
 verses 18 to 20

00:24:25.500 --> 00:24:27.160
 to the tune Covenanters.

00:24:27.160 --> 00:24:50.180
 And in the book of Acts and Ephesians,

00:24:50.980 --> 00:24:52.440
 it's made clear to us

00:24:52.440 --> 00:24:53.720
 that these words are prophetic

00:24:53.720 --> 00:24:56.860
 of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ

00:24:56.860 --> 00:24:57.460
 from the dead,

00:24:58.319 --> 00:24:59.819
 as he has ascended up on high

00:24:59.819 --> 00:25:02.100
 and led captivity.

00:25:02.420 --> 00:25:02.860
 In other words,

00:25:02.900 --> 00:25:05.600
 has overcome sin and death

00:25:05.600 --> 00:25:06.920
 and left them vanquished.

00:25:08.039 --> 00:25:09.400
 So we'll sing these four verses.

00:25:09.400 --> 00:25:12.299
 Thou hast, O Lord, most glorious.

00:25:23.720 --> 00:25:29.940
 Ascended upon high

00:25:29.940 --> 00:25:34.860
 and in triumph, victorious

00:25:34.860 --> 00:25:39.200
 and captive, captive, captive,

00:25:39.200 --> 00:25:44.860
 captive, captive, captive, captive,

00:25:44.860 --> 00:25:51.860
 captive, captive, captive, captive,

00:25:51.859 --> 00:25:57.000
 and in triumph, victorious,

00:25:57.000 --> 00:26:02.000
 and captive, captive, captive,

00:26:02.000 --> 00:26:09.919
 thou hast received it for men,

00:26:10.000 --> 00:26:14.819
 for such a child to rebel,

00:26:14.819 --> 00:26:17.000
 in the book of Acts.

00:26:17.000 --> 00:26:19.960
 In the book of Acts,

00:26:19.960 --> 00:26:21.279
 the Lord is the Lord,

00:26:21.419 --> 00:26:26.279
 in the midst of them I dwell.

00:26:26.279 --> 00:26:30.960
 In the midst of them I dwell.

00:26:30.960 --> 00:26:37.379
 In the midst of them I dwell.

00:26:37.380 --> 00:26:49.520
 In the midst of them I dwell.

00:26:49.520 --> 00:26:55.520
 Let's feed the Lord to his true trust,

00:26:55.520 --> 00:27:00.780
 of our salvation God.

00:27:00.779 --> 00:27:06.920
 Who live with his benefit,

00:27:06.920 --> 00:27:12.599
 as well as he has seen the Lord.

00:27:12.599 --> 00:27:18.500
 As well as he has seen the Lord.

00:27:18.500 --> 00:27:23.920
 As well as he has seen the Lord.

00:27:23.920 --> 00:27:30.060
 Who live with his benefit,

00:27:30.060 --> 00:27:35.740
 as well as he has seen the Lord.

00:27:35.740 --> 00:27:41.980
 He of salvation is our God,

00:27:42.060 --> 00:27:47.000
 who is our God most strong.

00:27:47.000 --> 00:27:53.140
 And unto God the Lord from death,

00:27:53.140 --> 00:27:57.319
 the issues to belong.

00:27:57.319 --> 00:28:02.960
 The issues to belong.

00:28:02.960 --> 00:28:08.640
 The issues to belong.

00:28:08.640 --> 00:28:15.780
 And unto God the Lord from death,

00:28:15.780 --> 00:28:22.780
 the issues to belong.

00:28:26.780 --> 00:28:28.880
 Let's turn now to Acts chapter 4,

00:28:28.880 --> 00:28:32.200
 where we read a short time ago.

00:28:32.200 --> 00:28:35.400
 And let's read again from verse 8.

00:28:35.400 --> 00:28:37.180
 Then Peter filled with the Holy Spirit,

00:28:37.180 --> 00:28:38.600
 said to them,

00:28:38.599 --> 00:28:40.099
 Rulers of the people and elders,

00:28:40.099 --> 00:28:41.559
 if we are being examined today

00:28:41.559 --> 00:28:44.599
 concerning a good deed done to a crippled man,

00:28:44.599 --> 00:28:46.599
 by what means this man has been healed,

00:28:46.599 --> 00:28:48.679
 let it be known to all of you

00:28:48.679 --> 00:28:50.059
 and to all the people of Israel,

00:28:50.059 --> 00:28:53.059
 that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth,

00:28:53.059 --> 00:28:53.939
 whom you crucified,

00:28:54.699 --> 00:28:56.219
 whom God raised from the dead,

00:28:56.599 --> 00:28:59.959
 by him this man is standing before you well.

00:29:01.019 --> 00:29:03.159
 This Jesus is the stone that was rejected

00:29:03.159 --> 00:29:04.240
 by you the builders,

00:29:04.859 --> 00:29:06.699
 which has become the cornerstone.

00:29:06.700 --> 00:29:09.740
 And there is salvation in no one else,

00:29:09.740 --> 00:29:12.759
 for there is no other name under heaven

00:29:12.759 --> 00:29:14.700
 given among men

00:29:14.700 --> 00:29:18.460
 by which we must be saved.

00:29:23.880 --> 00:29:27.180
 Prejudice always blinds people

00:29:27.180 --> 00:29:29.779
 to some aspects of reality,

00:29:29.779 --> 00:29:33.019
 even to the most important things

00:29:33.019 --> 00:29:34.539
 that we should know.

00:29:35.859 --> 00:29:38.500
 Prejudice always has that effect.

00:29:38.779 --> 00:29:40.700
 It closes minds.

00:29:41.799 --> 00:29:44.899
 Minds not prepared to think of any other possibilities,

00:29:45.279 --> 00:29:47.899
 but that which prejudice thinks of

00:29:47.899 --> 00:29:50.220
 as the only important thing.

00:29:50.779 --> 00:29:52.920
 And you can see that here in this chapter.

00:29:53.779 --> 00:29:55.740
 You can see here in verse 9, for example,

00:29:55.740 --> 00:29:58.140
 if we are being examined today

00:29:58.140 --> 00:30:01.559
 concerning a good deed done to a crippled man,

00:30:02.079 --> 00:30:04.140
 by what means this man has been healed,

00:30:04.440 --> 00:30:05.960
 let it be known to all of you.

00:30:06.460 --> 00:30:06.980
 In other words,

00:30:07.279 --> 00:30:08.400
 Peter is really saying,

00:30:08.900 --> 00:30:11.359
 what is the sense in you focusing on

00:30:11.359 --> 00:30:13.799
 what you're focusing on to these Sadducees

00:30:13.799 --> 00:30:15.380
 and the priests and the captain,

00:30:15.480 --> 00:30:16.519
 the rulers there,

00:30:16.640 --> 00:30:18.220
 the spiritual rulers at the time?

00:30:18.539 --> 00:30:19.980
 What is the sense in focusing

00:30:19.980 --> 00:30:22.740
 with your objections to what we're doing

00:30:22.740 --> 00:30:24.940
 when you can see for yourselves

00:30:24.940 --> 00:30:27.319
 that a good deed,

00:30:28.660 --> 00:30:29.480
 a good deed,

00:30:29.539 --> 00:30:32.180
 a deed which really is a holy deed,

00:30:32.900 --> 00:30:34.359
 to a crippled man,

00:30:34.779 --> 00:30:37.059
 a man who really was in dire need

00:30:37.059 --> 00:30:38.420
 of such a thing,

00:30:38.480 --> 00:30:40.059
 of such help being given to him,

00:30:40.380 --> 00:30:42.799
 what is the sense

00:30:42.799 --> 00:30:44.980
 in just ignoring that,

00:30:45.380 --> 00:30:47.079
 in just putting that to the side

00:30:47.079 --> 00:30:48.919
 and focusing instead

00:30:48.919 --> 00:30:51.759
 on your objections to us

00:30:51.759 --> 00:30:53.240
 and to the Lord

00:30:53.240 --> 00:30:55.559
 and the gospel that we preach.

00:30:56.659 --> 00:30:58.220
 They should have rejoiced

00:30:58.220 --> 00:31:00.679
 that this man who had been crippled

00:31:00.679 --> 00:31:02.399
 and is now restored,

00:31:03.579 --> 00:31:05.480
 that they should have rejoiced

00:31:05.480 --> 00:31:08.419
 that this was indeed the case now with him.

00:31:10.299 --> 00:31:10.919
 Instead,

00:31:11.759 --> 00:31:14.419
 they're finding fault with James,

00:31:14.420 --> 00:31:16.080
 with Peter and John

00:31:16.080 --> 00:31:17.800
 and the other disciples.

00:31:17.800 --> 00:31:19.320
 They're finding fault with them

00:31:19.320 --> 00:31:20.740
 for what they're doing.

00:31:20.800 --> 00:31:21.360
 Now, they knew,

00:31:22.160 --> 00:31:22.640
 fine,

00:31:22.740 --> 00:31:24.120
 when they were asking this question,

00:31:24.700 --> 00:31:26.940
 who has actually given you the power?

00:31:27.019 --> 00:31:27.560
 In verse 7,

00:31:28.039 --> 00:31:28.820
 by what power

00:31:28.820 --> 00:31:29.779
 or by what name

00:31:29.779 --> 00:31:30.860
 did you do this?

00:31:31.400 --> 00:31:32.519
 They knew very well

00:31:32.519 --> 00:31:34.039
 by what name

00:31:34.039 --> 00:31:35.240
 they were doing this

00:31:35.240 --> 00:31:35.920
 because you go back

00:31:35.920 --> 00:31:37.060
 to the beginning of the chapter,

00:31:37.420 --> 00:31:38.259
 as they were speaking,

00:31:38.400 --> 00:31:38.779
 the priests

00:31:38.779 --> 00:31:39.900
 and the captain of the temple

00:31:39.900 --> 00:31:40.560
 and the Sadducees

00:31:40.560 --> 00:31:41.380
 came upon them

00:31:41.380 --> 00:31:42.779
 greatly annoyed

00:31:42.779 --> 00:31:44.960
 because they were teaching the people

00:31:44.960 --> 00:31:47.240
 and proclaiming in Jesus

00:31:47.240 --> 00:31:49.599
 the resurrection from the dead.

00:31:49.759 --> 00:31:50.940
 They well knew

00:31:50.940 --> 00:31:52.160
 by what name

00:31:52.160 --> 00:31:53.200
 they were doing this.

00:31:53.839 --> 00:31:54.599
 They well knew

00:31:54.599 --> 00:31:55.859
 the nature of the message

00:31:55.859 --> 00:31:56.779
 that they were giving,

00:31:57.160 --> 00:31:58.339
 that it was about Jesus

00:31:58.339 --> 00:31:59.920
 and about the resurrection.

00:32:01.180 --> 00:32:01.579
 And yet,

00:32:01.619 --> 00:32:02.680
 they are so prejudiced

00:32:02.680 --> 00:32:03.599
 against these men

00:32:03.599 --> 00:32:04.440
 and against Jesus

00:32:04.440 --> 00:32:05.859
 that this is what

00:32:05.859 --> 00:32:06.859
 they're focusing on.

00:32:08.059 --> 00:32:09.279
 And Peter responds,

00:32:09.279 --> 00:32:11.200
 and it's interesting

00:32:11.200 --> 00:32:11.940
 and important,

00:32:12.500 --> 00:32:13.740
 the beginning of verse 8 there,

00:32:13.799 --> 00:32:14.819
 that you see the description,

00:32:15.539 --> 00:32:16.740
 Peter filled

00:32:16.740 --> 00:32:18.579
 with the Holy Spirit

00:32:18.579 --> 00:32:19.779
 said to them.

00:32:20.720 --> 00:32:21.660
 Peter was not giving

00:32:21.660 --> 00:32:22.440
 his own opinion.

00:32:23.879 --> 00:32:24.720
 Peter was not doing

00:32:24.720 --> 00:32:25.740
 anything less

00:32:25.740 --> 00:32:26.420
 than speaking

00:32:26.420 --> 00:32:27.460
 in the name of God

00:32:27.460 --> 00:32:29.039
 and by the Spirit of God.

00:32:30.160 --> 00:32:30.500
 And so,

00:32:30.660 --> 00:32:32.899
 what he said to them here

00:32:32.899 --> 00:32:34.339
 was something

00:32:34.339 --> 00:32:35.099
 that had come

00:32:35.099 --> 00:32:37.099
 from the Holy Spirit's

00:32:37.099 --> 00:32:38.639
 indwelling of his person.

00:32:39.279 --> 00:32:40.299
 And therefore,

00:32:40.579 --> 00:32:42.720
 added even more

00:32:42.720 --> 00:32:44.279
 significance to it.

00:32:45.599 --> 00:32:46.359
 And two things

00:32:46.359 --> 00:32:46.980
 I want to take

00:32:46.980 --> 00:32:47.839
 from this passage

00:32:47.839 --> 00:32:49.000
 briefly today

00:32:49.000 --> 00:32:50.759
 about Jesus.

00:32:51.559 --> 00:32:52.180
 First of all,

00:32:52.240 --> 00:32:52.899
 here is Jesus

00:32:52.899 --> 00:32:55.259
 the powerful Savior.

00:32:56.399 --> 00:32:57.240
 And secondly,

00:32:57.379 --> 00:32:58.099
 here is Jesus

00:32:58.099 --> 00:33:00.359
 the only Savior.

00:33:01.279 --> 00:33:02.960
 Jesus the powerful Savior.

00:33:03.859 --> 00:33:05.379
 Jesus the only Savior.

00:33:06.339 --> 00:33:06.779
 Now, they see,

00:33:06.879 --> 00:33:07.740
 they had asked them here

00:33:07.740 --> 00:33:08.859
 in verse 7,

00:33:08.859 --> 00:33:10.059
 by what name,

00:33:10.639 --> 00:33:11.500
 by what power,

00:33:11.579 --> 00:33:12.559
 or by what name

00:33:12.559 --> 00:33:13.859
 do you do this?

00:33:14.199 --> 00:33:16.039
 And Peter in his reply,

00:33:16.539 --> 00:33:17.699
 let it be known to you

00:33:17.699 --> 00:33:18.639
 and to all the people

00:33:18.639 --> 00:33:19.059
 of Israel,

00:33:19.219 --> 00:33:20.019
 by the name

00:33:20.019 --> 00:33:21.419
 of Jesus Christ

00:33:21.419 --> 00:33:22.240
 of Nazareth,

00:33:22.719 --> 00:33:23.659
 by him,

00:33:24.219 --> 00:33:25.159
 this man is standing

00:33:25.159 --> 00:33:26.139
 before you well.

00:33:27.279 --> 00:33:28.279
 Now, the name

00:33:28.279 --> 00:33:29.379
 is something

00:33:29.379 --> 00:33:30.299
 that goes back

00:33:30.299 --> 00:33:31.759
 to the Old Testament.

00:33:31.759 --> 00:33:34.220
 because the name of God

00:33:34.220 --> 00:33:36.599
 was associated

00:33:36.599 --> 00:33:37.720
 with the character,

00:33:38.480 --> 00:33:39.619
 with the attributes,

00:33:39.980 --> 00:33:40.920
 with the ability

00:33:40.920 --> 00:33:42.059
 of God.

00:33:42.779 --> 00:33:43.220
 You go back

00:33:43.220 --> 00:33:43.720
 away to,

00:33:44.180 --> 00:33:44.740
 for example,

00:33:44.920 --> 00:33:46.220
 to Exodus,

00:33:47.359 --> 00:33:48.279
 chapter 34

00:33:48.279 --> 00:33:49.039
 of Exodus.

00:33:49.720 --> 00:33:50.500
 Remember God

00:33:50.500 --> 00:33:51.119
 revealing himself

00:33:51.119 --> 00:33:52.079
 there to Moses.

00:33:53.220 --> 00:33:54.099
 And when,

00:33:54.240 --> 00:33:54.920
 especially in verses

00:33:54.920 --> 00:33:56.019
 5 to 7,

00:33:56.539 --> 00:33:57.500
 we read that the Lord

00:33:57.500 --> 00:33:58.480
 came down

00:33:58.480 --> 00:33:59.099
 in the presence

00:33:59.099 --> 00:33:59.819
 of Moses.

00:34:00.599 --> 00:34:01.500
 The Lord descended

00:34:01.500 --> 00:34:02.179
 in the cloud

00:34:02.179 --> 00:34:03.240
 and stood with him there

00:34:03.240 --> 00:34:04.599
 and proclaimed

00:34:04.599 --> 00:34:05.799
 the name

00:34:05.799 --> 00:34:06.740
 of the Lord.

00:34:07.319 --> 00:34:08.159
 And that explains

00:34:08.159 --> 00:34:08.659
 to us

00:34:08.659 --> 00:34:09.679
 what is meant

00:34:09.679 --> 00:34:10.699
 by proclaiming

00:34:10.699 --> 00:34:11.639
 the name of the Lord

00:34:11.639 --> 00:34:12.619
 by God himself.

00:34:13.380 --> 00:34:14.420
 The Lord passed

00:34:14.420 --> 00:34:15.000
 before him

00:34:15.000 --> 00:34:15.699
 and proclaimed

00:34:15.699 --> 00:34:16.860
 the Lord,

00:34:17.219 --> 00:34:17.940
 the Lord,

00:34:18.259 --> 00:34:19.420
 a God merciful

00:34:19.420 --> 00:34:20.400
 and gracious,

00:34:20.960 --> 00:34:21.920
 slow to anger,

00:34:22.319 --> 00:34:22.880
 abounding

00:34:22.880 --> 00:34:24.199
 in steadfast love

00:34:24.199 --> 00:34:25.480
 and faithfulness,

00:34:25.819 --> 00:34:27.099
 keeping steadfast love

00:34:27.099 --> 00:34:27.860
 for thousands,

00:34:28.319 --> 00:34:29.460
 forgiving iniquity

00:34:29.460 --> 00:34:30.679
 and transgression

00:34:30.679 --> 00:34:31.719
 and sin,

00:34:32.299 --> 00:34:32.860
 but who will

00:34:32.860 --> 00:34:33.719
 by no means

00:34:33.719 --> 00:34:34.819
 clear the guilty

00:34:34.819 --> 00:34:35.380
 and so on.

00:34:35.619 --> 00:34:36.119
 In other words,

00:34:36.559 --> 00:34:37.500
 what is happening

00:34:37.500 --> 00:34:38.159
 there is God

00:34:38.159 --> 00:34:39.519
 is actually unfolding

00:34:39.519 --> 00:34:40.319
 for Moses

00:34:40.319 --> 00:34:41.880
 the contents

00:34:41.880 --> 00:34:42.940
 of his name,

00:34:43.159 --> 00:34:44.019
 what his name

00:34:44.019 --> 00:34:44.860
 signifies,

00:34:45.279 --> 00:34:45.920
 what his name

00:34:45.920 --> 00:34:46.339
 is actually

00:34:46.339 --> 00:34:47.219
 to be understood

00:34:47.219 --> 00:34:48.199
 as containing,

00:34:48.779 --> 00:34:49.920
 what God's character

00:34:49.920 --> 00:34:50.440
 is like,

00:34:50.639 --> 00:34:51.599
 what God's attribute

00:34:51.599 --> 00:34:51.980
 is like,

00:34:52.159 --> 00:34:53.519
 what God is like.

00:34:53.659 --> 00:34:54.299
 And you take that

00:34:54.299 --> 00:34:54.860
 with you

00:34:54.860 --> 00:34:55.820
 into Acts,

00:34:55.940 --> 00:34:56.980
 the name of Jesus.

00:34:57.460 --> 00:34:58.059
 And as you read

00:34:58.059 --> 00:34:58.760
 through these early

00:34:58.760 --> 00:34:59.640
 chapters of Acts,

00:34:59.720 --> 00:35:00.880
 you'll find that sometimes

00:35:00.880 --> 00:35:01.980
 all it says

00:35:01.980 --> 00:35:02.380
 is that,

00:35:02.620 --> 00:35:03.039
 for example,

00:35:03.160 --> 00:35:03.880
 they were accounted

00:35:03.880 --> 00:35:05.599
 worthy themselves,

00:35:06.240 --> 00:35:06.940
 they saw themselves

00:35:06.940 --> 00:35:07.920
 worthy of suffering

00:35:07.920 --> 00:35:09.360
 for the name.

00:35:10.220 --> 00:35:11.180
 Because the name

00:35:11.180 --> 00:35:12.880
 is really identical

00:35:12.880 --> 00:35:13.760
 with Jesus

00:35:13.760 --> 00:35:14.539
 who is identical

00:35:14.539 --> 00:35:15.440
 with God.

00:35:16.039 --> 00:35:16.780
 And here is

00:35:16.780 --> 00:35:18.340
 the name of Jesus,

00:35:18.980 --> 00:35:20.200
 the name that really

00:35:20.200 --> 00:35:21.940
 means exactly the same

00:35:21.940 --> 00:35:22.680
 as what it means

00:35:22.680 --> 00:35:23.620
 in the Old Testament,

00:35:23.619 --> 00:35:25.159
 the name of God,

00:35:25.359 --> 00:35:26.279
 the contents

00:35:26.279 --> 00:35:27.259
 of the name of God,

00:35:27.339 --> 00:35:28.739
 the attributes of God.

00:35:29.900 --> 00:35:32.460
 Remember in John chapter 1,

00:35:32.539 --> 00:35:33.059
 for example,

00:35:33.579 --> 00:35:35.000
 speaking about the way

00:35:35.000 --> 00:35:35.699
 in which Jesus,

00:35:36.199 --> 00:35:36.880
 the Son of God,

00:35:36.980 --> 00:35:38.019
 came into the world.

00:35:38.980 --> 00:35:40.199
 He came to his own,

00:35:40.380 --> 00:35:40.960
 but his own

00:35:40.960 --> 00:35:42.279
 did not receive him.

00:35:42.859 --> 00:35:43.559
 But to those

00:35:43.559 --> 00:35:45.420
 who did receive him,

00:35:45.739 --> 00:35:46.819
 to them he gave

00:35:46.819 --> 00:35:47.659
 the authority,

00:35:48.139 --> 00:35:48.619
 the power,

00:35:48.719 --> 00:35:49.259
 the authority,

00:35:50.039 --> 00:35:50.719
 to become

00:35:50.719 --> 00:35:51.539
 or be known

00:35:51.539 --> 00:35:53.039
 as the children of God.

00:35:53.619 --> 00:35:54.579
 to all those

00:35:54.579 --> 00:35:55.299
 who believed

00:35:55.299 --> 00:35:58.279
 in his name.

00:35:59.440 --> 00:36:00.519
 In his name.

00:36:01.079 --> 00:36:02.039
 Who took him

00:36:02.039 --> 00:36:03.239
 to be what he himself

00:36:03.239 --> 00:36:04.279
 claimed to be.

00:36:04.940 --> 00:36:06.259
 Who saw in him,

00:36:06.519 --> 00:36:07.539
 in his characteristics

00:36:07.539 --> 00:36:08.299
 and character

00:36:08.299 --> 00:36:09.179
 and attributes,

00:36:09.679 --> 00:36:10.719
 the very God

00:36:10.719 --> 00:36:11.519
 who is the Savior

00:36:11.519 --> 00:36:12.319
 of his people.

00:36:13.279 --> 00:36:13.880
 And this is what

00:36:13.880 --> 00:36:15.199
 Peter is presenting

00:36:15.199 --> 00:36:16.079
 to them here

00:36:16.079 --> 00:36:17.239
 in this incident

00:36:17.239 --> 00:36:19.199
 in Acts chapter 4.

00:36:19.940 --> 00:36:20.900
 You see the same thing

00:36:20.900 --> 00:36:22.360
 in chapter 3.

00:36:23.720 --> 00:36:24.340
 You go back

00:36:24.340 --> 00:36:25.260
 to verse 16

00:36:25.260 --> 00:36:26.180
 of chapter 3.

00:36:27.280 --> 00:36:28.079
 His name,

00:36:28.760 --> 00:36:30.300
 by faith in his name,

00:36:30.680 --> 00:36:32.360
 has made this man strong

00:36:32.360 --> 00:36:33.619
 whom you see and know.

00:36:34.119 --> 00:36:34.940
 And the faith

00:36:34.940 --> 00:36:35.740
 that is through Jesus

00:36:35.740 --> 00:36:37.079
 has given this man

00:36:37.079 --> 00:36:38.720
 this perfect health

00:36:38.720 --> 00:36:39.760
 in the presence

00:36:39.760 --> 00:36:40.559
 of you all.

00:36:40.599 --> 00:36:41.059
 You see the way

00:36:41.059 --> 00:36:41.840
 the name again

00:36:41.840 --> 00:36:43.280
 is a feature there.

00:36:43.639 --> 00:36:44.780
 And his name.

00:36:45.240 --> 00:36:46.720
 By faith in his name.

00:36:46.719 --> 00:36:47.799
 But there's the extra,

00:36:48.179 --> 00:36:49.359
 the added detail there.

00:36:49.579 --> 00:36:51.219
 By faith in his name.

00:36:51.500 --> 00:36:52.359
 Which of course

00:36:52.359 --> 00:36:54.000
 is such an important addition.

00:36:55.239 --> 00:36:56.219
 It's not just the fact

00:36:56.219 --> 00:36:57.039
 of knowing

00:36:57.039 --> 00:36:58.599
 who Jesus is,

00:36:58.919 --> 00:37:00.219
 but knowing Jesus

00:37:00.219 --> 00:37:01.339
 for yourself

00:37:01.339 --> 00:37:02.959
 that brings you

00:37:02.959 --> 00:37:04.399
 in to experience

00:37:04.399 --> 00:37:05.159
 the benefits

00:37:05.159 --> 00:37:06.659
 of all that he has done

00:37:06.659 --> 00:37:08.219
 by his death

00:37:08.219 --> 00:37:08.959
 and resurrection.

00:37:09.719 --> 00:37:11.699
 Faith in his name.

00:37:11.779 --> 00:37:12.319
 You see he's saying

00:37:12.319 --> 00:37:13.019
 we're looking

00:37:13.019 --> 00:37:14.179
 at the power of Jesus.

00:37:14.339 --> 00:37:15.719
 Jesus the powerful Savior.

00:37:15.719 --> 00:37:15.839
 Savior.

00:37:16.359 --> 00:37:17.519
 But you only come

00:37:17.519 --> 00:37:18.319
 to experience

00:37:18.319 --> 00:37:19.759
 the power of Jesus

00:37:19.759 --> 00:37:20.699
 for yourself

00:37:20.699 --> 00:37:21.879
 when you place

00:37:21.879 --> 00:37:22.419
 your faith

00:37:22.419 --> 00:37:23.199
 and your confidence

00:37:23.199 --> 00:37:24.480
 and your trust in him.

00:37:24.819 --> 00:37:25.379
 When you come

00:37:25.379 --> 00:37:27.339
 to believe in his name.

00:37:27.599 --> 00:37:28.639
 When you receive him

00:37:28.639 --> 00:37:29.439
 as he's offered

00:37:29.439 --> 00:37:30.159
 in the gospel.

00:37:30.480 --> 00:37:31.419
 When you actually say

00:37:31.419 --> 00:37:33.079
 this is the Savior I need.

00:37:33.319 --> 00:37:34.899
 This is the Savior I want.

00:37:35.000 --> 00:37:35.639
 This is the Savior

00:37:35.639 --> 00:37:37.000
 that I require.

00:37:37.719 --> 00:37:38.559
 This Savior who has

00:37:38.559 --> 00:37:39.659
 all of these attributes

00:37:39.659 --> 00:37:40.619
 and characteristics.

00:37:41.839 --> 00:37:42.839
 This must be

00:37:42.839 --> 00:37:43.919
 my Savior too.

00:37:43.920 --> 00:37:46.420
 who believe

00:37:46.420 --> 00:37:48.200
 in his name.

00:37:49.700 --> 00:37:50.760
 Who believe in him.

00:37:51.720 --> 00:37:52.500
 By him,

00:37:52.740 --> 00:37:53.260
 Peter says,

00:37:53.320 --> 00:37:53.840
 this man

00:37:53.840 --> 00:37:55.099
 is standing

00:37:55.099 --> 00:37:56.139
 before you well.

00:37:57.260 --> 00:37:58.280
 But then he went on

00:37:58.280 --> 00:37:59.960
 to add to that

00:37:59.960 --> 00:38:02.280
 whom you crucified.

00:38:02.519 --> 00:38:03.740
 This Jesus of Nazareth.

00:38:03.860 --> 00:38:05.320
 You see he's describing him

00:38:05.320 --> 00:38:06.659
 with all of these words.

00:38:07.280 --> 00:38:09.019
 Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

00:38:09.099 --> 00:38:09.519
 In other words,

00:38:09.559 --> 00:38:09.840
 he's saying

00:38:09.840 --> 00:38:11.120
 the very same

00:38:11.120 --> 00:38:12.300
 historical figure

00:38:12.300 --> 00:38:13.280
 that you knew

00:38:13.280 --> 00:38:15.440
 prior to his crucifixion.

00:38:16.220 --> 00:38:17.920
 This Jesus of Nazareth

00:38:17.920 --> 00:38:19.460
 whom you crucified,

00:38:20.260 --> 00:38:21.519
 whom God raised

00:38:21.519 --> 00:38:22.440
 from the dead,

00:38:22.860 --> 00:38:23.820
 by him,

00:38:24.700 --> 00:38:25.880
 this man is standing

00:38:25.880 --> 00:38:27.680
 before you well.

00:38:30.620 --> 00:38:31.320
 What a lot,

00:38:31.440 --> 00:38:32.280
 Peter packs into

00:38:32.280 --> 00:38:33.320
 that one statement.

00:38:33.320 --> 00:38:36.400
 the name of Jesus,

00:38:37.080 --> 00:38:38.039
 the characteristics

00:38:38.039 --> 00:38:38.920
 of God,

00:38:39.680 --> 00:38:43.059
 the historical figure

00:38:43.059 --> 00:38:43.640
 of Jesus,

00:38:43.800 --> 00:38:45.059
 the actual person

00:38:45.059 --> 00:38:46.140
 who lived

00:38:46.140 --> 00:38:47.780
 as Jesus of Nazareth,

00:38:48.260 --> 00:38:49.559
 who was crucified,

00:38:50.740 --> 00:38:52.360
 who rose from the dead,

00:38:52.420 --> 00:38:53.460
 or whom God raised

00:38:53.460 --> 00:38:54.260
 from the dead.

00:38:54.620 --> 00:38:55.059
 In other words,

00:38:55.260 --> 00:38:57.019
 God set his own

00:38:57.019 --> 00:38:57.760
 imprimatur

00:38:57.760 --> 00:38:58.539
 or acceptance

00:38:58.539 --> 00:38:59.280
 on him,

00:38:59.500 --> 00:39:00.660
 his mark of acceptance,

00:39:00.820 --> 00:39:01.400
 and raising him

00:39:01.400 --> 00:39:01.960
 from the dead.

00:39:02.200 --> 00:39:02.579
 Remember,

00:39:02.680 --> 00:39:03.280
 the resurrection

00:39:03.280 --> 00:39:04.039
 of Jesus

00:39:04.039 --> 00:39:05.500
 is itself

00:39:05.500 --> 00:39:06.559
 an indication

00:39:06.559 --> 00:39:08.760
 of God's full acceptance

00:39:08.760 --> 00:39:09.680
 of the death

00:39:09.680 --> 00:39:10.940
 he died on the cross.

00:39:13.340 --> 00:39:14.340
 And God is really saying

00:39:14.340 --> 00:39:15.400
 by the resurrection

00:39:15.400 --> 00:39:16.960
 of Christ from the dead,

00:39:17.119 --> 00:39:18.280
 by raising his son

00:39:18.280 --> 00:39:18.940
 from the dead,

00:39:19.240 --> 00:39:20.800
 everything that that cross

00:39:20.800 --> 00:39:21.480
 has done,

00:39:21.860 --> 00:39:22.700
 everything that happened

00:39:22.700 --> 00:39:23.639
 on that cross,

00:39:23.940 --> 00:39:24.619
 has covered

00:39:24.619 --> 00:39:26.300
 all of my requirements

00:39:26.300 --> 00:39:26.960
 as God

00:39:26.960 --> 00:39:28.519
 with respect to sin.

00:39:31.400 --> 00:39:32.639
 And so he is now

00:39:32.639 --> 00:39:33.660
 raised from the dead

00:39:33.660 --> 00:39:36.200
 and set him

00:39:36.200 --> 00:39:37.380
 at his own right hand.

00:39:39.119 --> 00:39:40.099
 This Jesus,

00:39:40.260 --> 00:39:40.500
 he says,

00:39:40.599 --> 00:39:41.200
 by him

00:39:41.200 --> 00:39:43.039
 is this man

00:39:43.039 --> 00:39:43.579
 standing

00:39:43.579 --> 00:39:44.940
 before you

00:39:44.940 --> 00:39:46.760
 whole or healed.

00:39:49.480 --> 00:39:49.920
 You see,

00:39:50.000 --> 00:39:51.420
 this is the emphasis

00:39:51.420 --> 00:39:52.280
 of the gospel.

00:39:53.700 --> 00:39:55.420
 The very one

00:39:55.420 --> 00:39:56.619
 who died

00:39:56.619 --> 00:39:57.340
 on the cross,

00:39:57.920 --> 00:39:58.860
 the very one

00:39:58.860 --> 00:39:59.840
 who came

00:39:59.840 --> 00:40:00.440
 as Jesus

00:40:00.440 --> 00:40:01.160
 of Nazareth

00:40:01.160 --> 00:40:02.420
 to live

00:40:02.420 --> 00:40:03.099
 amongst us

00:40:03.099 --> 00:40:03.820
 human beings,

00:40:04.140 --> 00:40:04.900
 the very one

00:40:04.900 --> 00:40:05.680
 who was raised

00:40:05.680 --> 00:40:06.460
 from the dead

00:40:06.460 --> 00:40:08.079
 by God the Father.

00:40:08.519 --> 00:40:09.780
 He is the Savior.

00:40:10.140 --> 00:40:11.480
 He is the powerful one.

00:40:11.740 --> 00:40:12.460
 He is the one

00:40:12.460 --> 00:40:13.440
 who has the ability

00:40:13.440 --> 00:40:14.400
 to change lives,

00:40:14.480 --> 00:40:15.599
 to turn things around.

00:40:19.200 --> 00:40:19.940
 The one

00:40:19.940 --> 00:40:20.400
 who is

00:40:20.400 --> 00:40:21.820
 despised

00:40:21.820 --> 00:40:23.700
 because of

00:40:23.700 --> 00:40:24.140
 his death

00:40:24.140 --> 00:40:24.820
 on the cross.

00:40:26.080 --> 00:40:27.100
 It's the very one

00:40:27.100 --> 00:40:27.880
 that did this

00:40:27.880 --> 00:40:28.680
 is what Peter

00:40:28.680 --> 00:40:29.180
 is saying.

00:40:30.580 --> 00:40:31.039
 And that's why

00:40:31.039 --> 00:40:32.160
 really the language

00:40:32.160 --> 00:40:32.720
 he's using

00:40:32.720 --> 00:40:33.559
 is a language

00:40:33.559 --> 00:40:35.019
 that is really

00:40:35.019 --> 00:40:35.800
 setting before

00:40:35.800 --> 00:40:36.400
 these people,

00:40:36.500 --> 00:40:36.680
 you know,

00:40:37.200 --> 00:40:38.680
 it's as if he was saying,

00:40:38.880 --> 00:40:39.059
 you know,

00:40:39.100 --> 00:40:40.039
 it's remarkable

00:40:40.039 --> 00:40:42.260
 that when you know

00:40:42.260 --> 00:40:43.680
 what this man

00:40:43.680 --> 00:40:44.800
 has been

00:40:44.800 --> 00:40:45.519
 and is now,

00:40:45.620 --> 00:40:46.620
 this crippled man,

00:40:47.180 --> 00:40:47.820
 and when you know

00:40:47.820 --> 00:40:48.800
 that's by the message

00:40:48.800 --> 00:40:49.700
 that we present

00:40:49.700 --> 00:40:50.940
 of Jesus of Nazareth

00:40:50.940 --> 00:40:52.260
 that he has done this,

00:40:52.579 --> 00:40:53.179
 it's remarkable

00:40:53.179 --> 00:40:54.099
 that you're still

00:40:54.099 --> 00:40:54.960
 so prejudiced

00:40:54.960 --> 00:40:55.920
 in your views,

00:40:56.679 --> 00:40:57.860
 that you're still

00:40:57.860 --> 00:41:00.019
 against him

00:41:00.019 --> 00:41:02.380
 and against the idea

00:41:02.380 --> 00:41:03.920
 of resurrection.

00:41:05.700 --> 00:41:06.300
 Jesus,

00:41:07.300 --> 00:41:08.900
 the powerful Savior,

00:41:10.240 --> 00:41:11.780
 do you know him

00:41:11.780 --> 00:41:12.840
 for yourself today?

00:41:15.039 --> 00:41:16.139
 Has he come

00:41:16.139 --> 00:41:19.480
 into your experience

00:41:19.480 --> 00:41:22.159
 as the powerful Savior?

00:41:24.740 --> 00:41:26.019
 Have you been rescued

00:41:26.019 --> 00:41:27.280
 from your sins?

00:41:28.420 --> 00:41:29.500
 Have your sins

00:41:29.500 --> 00:41:30.619
 been dealt with

00:41:30.619 --> 00:41:31.719
 in the sense

00:41:31.719 --> 00:41:32.699
 in which the cross

00:41:32.699 --> 00:41:33.260
 of Christ

00:41:33.260 --> 00:41:34.900
 has particularly

00:41:34.900 --> 00:41:36.320
 been taken by you

00:41:36.320 --> 00:41:37.440
 as God's answer

00:41:37.440 --> 00:41:38.380
 for your sins?

00:41:39.219 --> 00:41:40.500
 Has this Christ

00:41:40.500 --> 00:41:41.360
 who died

00:41:41.360 --> 00:41:42.599
 today come

00:41:42.599 --> 00:41:44.480
 to live in your life?

00:41:45.039 --> 00:41:45.900
 Have you come

00:41:45.900 --> 00:41:47.119
 to place your faith

00:41:47.119 --> 00:41:48.000
 in his name?

00:41:48.000 --> 00:41:49.639
 is your trust

00:41:49.639 --> 00:41:50.579
 in this name

00:41:50.579 --> 00:41:51.699
 that carries

00:41:51.699 --> 00:41:53.460
 all the characteristics

00:41:53.460 --> 00:41:55.000
 and the attributes

00:41:55.000 --> 00:41:56.039
 of God

00:41:56.039 --> 00:41:58.420
 so as to rescue us

00:41:58.420 --> 00:41:59.500
 from our sins?

00:42:00.159 --> 00:42:01.199
 Are we today

00:42:01.199 --> 00:42:01.960
 saved

00:42:01.960 --> 00:42:04.340
 through faith

00:42:04.340 --> 00:42:06.179
 in the name

00:42:06.179 --> 00:42:06.940
 of Jesus?

00:42:08.539 --> 00:42:09.639
 The powerful

00:42:09.639 --> 00:42:11.079
 Savior.

00:42:12.079 --> 00:42:13.119
 That's one thing

00:42:13.119 --> 00:42:14.139
 to be able

00:42:14.139 --> 00:42:14.519
 to say,

00:42:14.639 --> 00:42:15.099
 I know he's

00:42:15.099 --> 00:42:15.980
 the powerful Savior

00:42:15.980 --> 00:42:16.900
 Savior from what

00:42:16.900 --> 00:42:17.619
 I find written

00:42:17.619 --> 00:42:18.440
 in the Bible,

00:42:19.059 --> 00:42:19.940
 from what other

00:42:19.940 --> 00:42:21.059
 people tell me.

00:42:22.480 --> 00:42:23.019
 But friend,

00:42:23.119 --> 00:42:23.740
 you have to be

00:42:23.740 --> 00:42:24.420
 able to say

00:42:24.420 --> 00:42:25.659
 as I have to be

00:42:25.659 --> 00:42:26.340
 able to say,

00:42:27.599 --> 00:42:29.360
 he is my

00:42:29.360 --> 00:42:30.400
 powerful Savior.

00:42:31.740 --> 00:42:32.659
 He's a powerful

00:42:32.659 --> 00:42:34.320
 Savior to me

00:42:34.320 --> 00:42:34.740
 also.

00:42:36.500 --> 00:42:37.300
 So Jesus,

00:42:37.460 --> 00:42:38.380
 the powerful Savior,

00:42:38.559 --> 00:42:38.980
 and secondly,

00:42:39.079 --> 00:42:39.380
 Jesus,

00:42:39.860 --> 00:42:40.920
 the only Savior.

00:42:40.920 --> 00:42:42.039
 Peter went on

00:42:42.039 --> 00:42:45.200
 that this

00:42:45.200 --> 00:42:45.700
 Jesus,

00:42:45.960 --> 00:42:46.599
 in verse 11,

00:42:47.059 --> 00:42:47.860
 is the stone

00:42:47.860 --> 00:42:48.780
 that was rejected

00:42:48.780 --> 00:42:49.360
 by you,

00:42:49.440 --> 00:42:49.900
 the builders,

00:42:50.639 --> 00:42:51.380
 which has become

00:42:51.380 --> 00:42:52.300
 the cornerstone,

00:42:52.980 --> 00:42:53.880
 and there is salvation

00:42:53.880 --> 00:42:54.780
 in no one else,

00:42:55.300 --> 00:42:56.139
 for there is no other

00:42:56.139 --> 00:42:57.340
 name under heaven

00:42:57.340 --> 00:42:58.240
 given among men

00:42:58.240 --> 00:42:59.619
 by which we must

00:42:59.619 --> 00:43:00.099
 be saved.

00:43:00.139 --> 00:43:00.820
 Now he speaks here

00:43:00.820 --> 00:43:02.159
 of the cornerstone,

00:43:02.240 --> 00:43:02.860
 and that's going back

00:43:02.860 --> 00:43:03.639
 to the Old Testament

00:43:03.639 --> 00:43:03.980
 too,

00:43:04.039 --> 00:43:04.460
 as you know,

00:43:04.740 --> 00:43:05.599
 back to the likes

00:43:05.599 --> 00:43:06.740
 of Psalm 118,

00:43:07.000 --> 00:43:07.740
 where it's mentioned

00:43:07.739 --> 00:43:10.159
 as the cornerstone

00:43:10.159 --> 00:43:10.759
 that the builders

00:43:10.759 --> 00:43:11.399
 rejected,

00:43:11.899 --> 00:43:12.859
 the same has become

00:43:12.859 --> 00:43:14.259
 the head of the corner.

00:43:14.879 --> 00:43:15.359
 In fact,

00:43:16.000 --> 00:43:16.899
 you'll find in

00:43:16.899 --> 00:43:19.479
 Matthew chapter 21,

00:43:19.619 --> 00:43:20.479
 you'll find a reference

00:43:20.479 --> 00:43:21.059
 to that

00:43:21.059 --> 00:43:22.539
 on the part of

00:43:22.539 --> 00:43:23.439
 Jesus himself,

00:43:23.539 --> 00:43:24.119
 who obviously

00:43:24.119 --> 00:43:24.799
 saw himself

00:43:24.799 --> 00:43:26.199
 as the fulfillment

00:43:26.199 --> 00:43:27.379
 of the cornerstone

00:43:27.379 --> 00:43:28.799
 of the spiritual temple,

00:43:29.519 --> 00:43:30.099
 as he's there

00:43:30.099 --> 00:43:30.779
 in the parable

00:43:30.779 --> 00:43:31.439
 of the tenants,

00:43:31.659 --> 00:43:34.039
 and in Matthew 21,

00:43:34.759 --> 00:43:35.879
 you come to verse 42,

00:43:36.000 --> 00:43:36.659
 Jesus said to them,

00:43:36.739 --> 00:43:37.599
 have you never read

00:43:37.599 --> 00:43:38.219
 in the Scriptures?

00:43:39.099 --> 00:43:39.900
 The stone that the

00:43:39.900 --> 00:43:40.739
 builders rejected

00:43:40.739 --> 00:43:41.420
 has become

00:43:41.420 --> 00:43:42.380
 the cornerstone.

00:43:43.059 --> 00:43:43.980
 This was the Lord's

00:43:43.980 --> 00:43:44.360
 doing,

00:43:44.860 --> 00:43:45.500
 and marvelous

00:43:45.500 --> 00:43:46.559
 in our eyes,

00:43:46.619 --> 00:43:47.000
 and so on.

00:43:47.019 --> 00:43:47.679
 So there is Jesus

00:43:47.679 --> 00:43:49.219
 obviously presenting

00:43:49.219 --> 00:43:50.000
 himself as the

00:43:50.000 --> 00:43:51.039
 fulfillment of that

00:43:51.039 --> 00:43:51.799
 great prophecy.

00:43:52.239 --> 00:43:52.860
 And what is the

00:43:52.860 --> 00:43:53.360
 cornerstone?

00:43:53.480 --> 00:43:54.460
 Well, the cornerstone

00:43:54.460 --> 00:43:55.940
 literally is the

00:43:55.940 --> 00:43:56.940
 chief foundation

00:43:56.940 --> 00:43:58.179
 stone of a building,

00:43:58.299 --> 00:43:58.980
 especially in those

00:43:58.980 --> 00:43:59.360
 days.

00:44:00.519 --> 00:44:02.960
 And not only is it

00:44:02.960 --> 00:44:04.940
 the chief foundation

00:44:04.940 --> 00:44:06.139
 stone that takes

00:44:06.139 --> 00:44:06.699
 a lot of the

00:44:06.699 --> 00:44:08.099
 strain of the

00:44:08.099 --> 00:44:08.420
 building,

00:44:08.539 --> 00:44:09.000
 but it also,

00:44:09.359 --> 00:44:10.679
 it's the stone

00:44:10.679 --> 00:44:12.119
 that sets the

00:44:12.119 --> 00:44:12.879
 angle of the

00:44:12.879 --> 00:44:13.519
 walls that

00:44:13.519 --> 00:44:15.799
 follow out from

00:44:15.799 --> 00:44:16.539
 it, if you like.

00:44:16.900 --> 00:44:17.960
 The stone had to

00:44:17.960 --> 00:44:18.559
 be a perfect

00:44:18.559 --> 00:44:19.139
 shape,

00:44:19.679 --> 00:44:20.619
 perfectly angled,

00:44:20.779 --> 00:44:21.539
 so that every

00:44:21.539 --> 00:44:22.339
 other stone that

00:44:22.339 --> 00:44:23.239
 was then set in

00:44:23.239 --> 00:44:23.980
 relation to it

00:44:23.980 --> 00:44:24.440
 would actually

00:44:24.440 --> 00:44:25.539
 have a proper

00:44:25.539 --> 00:44:26.519
 straight line or

00:44:26.519 --> 00:44:27.039
 be in the right

00:44:27.039 --> 00:44:27.619
 direction.

00:44:28.319 --> 00:44:29.319
 So the cornerstone

00:44:29.319 --> 00:44:31.179
 is the vital stone

00:44:31.179 --> 00:44:32.159
 in the building.

00:44:32.639 --> 00:44:33.400
 It's not the stone

00:44:33.400 --> 00:44:34.460
 at the top of an

00:44:34.460 --> 00:44:35.119
 arch, as some

00:44:35.119 --> 00:44:35.800
 people think it

00:44:35.800 --> 00:44:36.220
 might be.

00:44:36.700 --> 00:44:37.300
 It's actually a

00:44:37.300 --> 00:44:38.360
 stone set in the

00:44:38.360 --> 00:44:39.460
 foundation, takes

00:44:39.460 --> 00:44:40.380
 some of the strain,

00:44:40.500 --> 00:44:41.220
 a lot of the strain,

00:44:41.460 --> 00:44:42.559
 but it also sets the

00:44:42.559 --> 00:44:43.220
 angles for the

00:44:43.220 --> 00:44:43.480
 building.

00:44:43.559 --> 00:44:43.960
 In other words,

00:44:44.059 --> 00:44:45.860
 Jesus, as he is the

00:44:45.860 --> 00:44:47.420
 cornerstone spiritually

00:44:47.420 --> 00:44:48.660
 of the spiritual

00:44:48.660 --> 00:44:50.920
 temple, the angles of

00:44:50.920 --> 00:44:52.460
 our lives are set by

00:44:52.460 --> 00:44:52.880
 that.

00:44:53.240 --> 00:44:54.300
 The direction of your

00:44:54.300 --> 00:44:55.619
 life is set by that.

00:44:55.800 --> 00:44:56.800
 The direction of the

00:44:56.800 --> 00:44:58.039
 church of God, as it's

00:44:58.039 --> 00:44:59.200
 founded upon Jesus,

00:44:59.599 --> 00:45:00.480
 founded upon that

00:45:00.480 --> 00:45:02.240
 foundation, as it is

00:45:02.240 --> 00:45:03.820
 really related to that

00:45:03.820 --> 00:45:04.920
 foundation stone.

00:45:06.000 --> 00:45:08.159
 He is the vital angle

00:45:08.159 --> 00:45:09.179
 setter, if you like,

00:45:09.240 --> 00:45:10.039
 for your life, the

00:45:10.039 --> 00:45:12.240
 direction setter for

00:45:12.240 --> 00:45:14.760
 your life and for the

00:45:14.760 --> 00:45:15.619
 life of his people.

00:45:18.099 --> 00:45:19.260
 And of course, the Jews

00:45:19.260 --> 00:45:20.500
 were waiting for that

00:45:20.500 --> 00:45:21.000
 fulfillment.

00:45:22.420 --> 00:45:23.480
 They knew the Messiah,

00:45:23.860 --> 00:45:24.940
 the promised Messiah,

00:45:25.059 --> 00:45:26.619
 was coming, that he was

00:45:26.619 --> 00:45:27.619
 coming into the world,

00:45:28.480 --> 00:45:29.179
 that it was going to

00:45:29.179 --> 00:45:30.779
 happen in the history

00:45:30.779 --> 00:45:31.539
 of humanity.

00:45:35.239 --> 00:45:36.399
 But they rejected

00:45:36.399 --> 00:45:38.500
 Jesus as their

00:45:38.500 --> 00:45:38.960
 Messiah.

00:45:42.980 --> 00:45:44.099
 They're still waiting

00:45:44.099 --> 00:45:44.899
 for their Messiah,

00:45:45.000 --> 00:45:45.739
 most of the Jewish

00:45:45.739 --> 00:45:47.379
 people are, who have

00:45:47.379 --> 00:45:49.199
 that religious attitude

00:45:49.199 --> 00:45:50.000
 to life.

00:45:53.759 --> 00:45:55.639
 He has been set as the

00:45:55.639 --> 00:45:58.420
 cornerstone through his

00:45:58.420 --> 00:45:59.539
 death and resurrection.

00:45:59.799 --> 00:46:01.019
 The cornerstone was set

00:46:01.019 --> 00:46:03.000
 by God through the

00:46:03.000 --> 00:46:05.179
 incarnation, the God

00:46:05.179 --> 00:46:06.619
 Son taking our

00:46:06.619 --> 00:46:08.699
 humanity, and then his

00:46:08.699 --> 00:46:09.799
 death and his

00:46:09.799 --> 00:46:10.900
 resurrection and his

00:46:10.900 --> 00:46:12.359
 ascension, but especially

00:46:12.359 --> 00:46:13.339
 his death and his

00:46:13.339 --> 00:46:13.759
 resurrection.

00:46:14.179 --> 00:46:15.920
 These are the means by

00:46:15.920 --> 00:46:17.779
 which the stone was set,

00:46:17.859 --> 00:46:18.900
 by which he was set as

00:46:18.900 --> 00:46:20.480
 the cornerstone in the

00:46:20.480 --> 00:46:20.739
 building.

00:46:20.859 --> 00:46:21.400
 That's where the

00:46:21.400 --> 00:46:22.420
 offense is.

00:46:23.099 --> 00:46:24.359
 Who's going to accept

00:46:24.360 --> 00:46:25.780
 somebody who was

00:46:25.780 --> 00:46:27.400
 crucified on the cross?

00:46:27.960 --> 00:46:28.820
 Somebody who couldn't

00:46:28.820 --> 00:46:29.980
 save himself as it was

00:46:29.980 --> 00:46:30.860
 put at the time?

00:46:31.180 --> 00:46:32.760
 How can he be the

00:46:32.760 --> 00:46:33.660
 Savior of sinners?

00:46:33.940 --> 00:46:35.019
 How can he be

00:46:35.019 --> 00:46:35.660
 almighty?

00:46:35.840 --> 00:46:37.079
 How can he be the one

00:46:37.079 --> 00:46:38.079
 that has power over

00:46:38.079 --> 00:46:38.660
 death?

00:46:39.200 --> 00:46:39.720
 Well, of course, you're

00:46:39.720 --> 00:46:40.460
 going to come to

00:46:40.460 --> 00:46:41.800
 appreciate that when you

00:46:41.800 --> 00:46:42.900
 really believe in him

00:46:42.900 --> 00:46:43.820
 and trust in him and get

00:46:43.820 --> 00:46:45.160
 to know him and realize

00:46:45.160 --> 00:46:46.380
 his power in your own

00:46:46.380 --> 00:46:47.000
 life, that that is

00:46:47.000 --> 00:46:48.340
 exactly who he is.

00:46:48.340 --> 00:46:52.800
 The death and

00:46:52.800 --> 00:46:53.660
 resurrection and

00:46:53.660 --> 00:46:55.320
 exaltation of Jesus,

00:46:56.079 --> 00:46:58.240
 the cornerstone of God's

00:46:58.240 --> 00:47:01.420
 spiritual temple, what a

00:47:01.420 --> 00:47:05.039
 tragedy that they rejected

00:47:05.039 --> 00:47:07.860
 having examined him, as

00:47:07.860 --> 00:47:10.079
 they did literally before he

00:47:10.079 --> 00:47:10.700
 was crucified.

00:47:11.900 --> 00:47:14.019
 We have no other king but

00:47:14.019 --> 00:47:14.539
 Caesar.

00:47:14.539 --> 00:47:18.139
 having examined him, they

00:47:18.139 --> 00:47:19.320
 came to the conclusion, no,

00:47:19.360 --> 00:47:20.440
 he's not for us.

00:47:21.460 --> 00:47:23.320
 He doesn't meet with our

00:47:23.320 --> 00:47:25.840
 expectations, with our

00:47:25.840 --> 00:47:26.880
 measurements of the

00:47:26.880 --> 00:47:27.599
 cornerstone.

00:47:29.079 --> 00:47:30.940
 And so, crucify him.

00:47:32.039 --> 00:47:32.960
 Crucify him.

00:47:36.960 --> 00:47:39.719
 What a great tragedy that was

00:47:39.719 --> 00:47:40.800
 for them at the time.

00:47:40.800 --> 00:47:44.340
 What a great tragedy that

00:47:44.340 --> 00:47:45.480
 that's still happening in

00:47:45.480 --> 00:47:46.120
 our world.

00:47:48.519 --> 00:47:50.560
 That this Jesus presented

00:47:50.560 --> 00:47:52.640
 in the gospel, this cross

00:47:52.640 --> 00:47:53.940
 of Christ, this death of

00:47:53.940 --> 00:47:54.960
 Christ, this resurrection

00:47:54.960 --> 00:47:57.580
 from the dead, is so much

00:47:57.580 --> 00:47:59.220
 not only put aside but often

00:47:59.220 --> 00:48:00.760
 ridiculed as being absolutely

00:48:00.760 --> 00:48:02.019
 ridiculous nonsense.

00:48:03.140 --> 00:48:04.860
 Who can possibly believe in

00:48:04.860 --> 00:48:06.180
 such a thing as foundational

00:48:06.180 --> 00:48:08.240
 for the development of human

00:48:08.240 --> 00:48:09.900
 life and human expectations?

00:48:10.800 --> 00:48:13.539
 You see, that's the tragedy

00:48:13.539 --> 00:48:15.680
 that human beings like you

00:48:15.680 --> 00:48:17.539
 and I, and most of us

00:48:17.539 --> 00:48:18.860
 probably did the same until

00:48:18.860 --> 00:48:21.240
 we came by God's grace to

00:48:21.240 --> 00:48:22.740
 know the truth for ourselves.

00:48:26.440 --> 00:48:28.660
 The very one who meets all

00:48:28.660 --> 00:48:32.039
 our need is the one that we

00:48:32.039 --> 00:48:33.019
 choose to reject.

00:48:35.640 --> 00:48:37.440
 This very one, that's what

00:48:37.440 --> 00:48:38.380
 Peter is getting at.

00:48:38.380 --> 00:48:41.119
 This Jesus of Nazareth,

00:48:42.220 --> 00:48:43.320
 whom you crucified,

00:48:43.860 --> 00:48:45.460
 whom God raised from the dead,

00:48:45.760 --> 00:48:47.860
 by him is this man standing

00:48:47.860 --> 00:48:49.000
 before you well.

00:48:49.460 --> 00:48:51.000
 This Jesus is the stone

00:48:51.000 --> 00:48:52.860
 that was rejected by you,

00:48:52.940 --> 00:48:53.460
 the builders,

00:48:53.860 --> 00:48:56.119
 but has become the cornerstone.

00:48:56.200 --> 00:48:57.340
 Whether they like it or not,

00:48:57.599 --> 00:48:58.900
 that's really what has happened.

00:48:59.240 --> 00:49:00.059
 And that's what the gospel

00:49:00.059 --> 00:49:01.019
 is saying to us today.

00:49:01.280 --> 00:49:02.880
 It doesn't matter how many

00:49:02.880 --> 00:49:04.180
 millions of people in the world

00:49:04.180 --> 00:49:05.360
 think otherwise.

00:49:05.780 --> 00:49:07.340
 He is the cornerstone.

00:49:07.340 --> 00:49:09.440
 He is the foundation of hopes

00:49:09.440 --> 00:49:10.680
 for human beings.

00:49:11.200 --> 00:49:12.980
 He is the foundation of our salvation,

00:49:13.320 --> 00:49:14.160
 of our redemption.

00:49:15.680 --> 00:49:17.220
 Nothing's going to change that.

00:49:17.840 --> 00:49:19.440
 And even if the likes of you

00:49:19.440 --> 00:49:21.059
 and I go on refusing him,

00:49:21.380 --> 00:49:22.579
 it's not going to change

00:49:22.579 --> 00:49:24.440
 who he is,

00:49:25.180 --> 00:49:26.019
 what he has done,

00:49:26.700 --> 00:49:27.740
 what he is for,

00:49:28.700 --> 00:49:29.660
 why he's important.

00:49:29.659 --> 00:49:34.739
 And he goes on to say,

00:49:35.059 --> 00:49:35.779
 there is salvation

00:49:35.779 --> 00:49:37.920
 in no one else.

00:49:38.699 --> 00:49:39.599
 And Peter is being

00:49:39.599 --> 00:49:42.579
 so emphatic in what he says.

00:49:43.539 --> 00:49:44.319
 He's the stone

00:49:44.319 --> 00:49:45.819
 that was rejected by you.

00:49:46.239 --> 00:49:47.579
 There is salvation

00:49:47.579 --> 00:49:49.879
 in no one else.

00:49:50.719 --> 00:49:52.219
 For there is no other name

00:49:52.219 --> 00:49:52.859
 under heaven

00:49:52.859 --> 00:49:54.259
 given among men

00:49:54.259 --> 00:49:57.159
 by which we must be saved.

00:49:57.159 --> 00:49:57.279
 saved.

00:49:59.500 --> 00:50:00.779
 And the word saved,

00:50:00.859 --> 00:50:01.539
 as you find it there

00:50:01.539 --> 00:50:02.399
 in verse 12,

00:50:03.500 --> 00:50:04.759
 is exactly the same word

00:50:04.759 --> 00:50:06.539
 as you find in verse 9,

00:50:07.099 --> 00:50:07.879
 for healed.

00:50:09.079 --> 00:50:10.259
 And you'll find that often

00:50:10.259 --> 00:50:11.019
 in the Gospels

00:50:11.019 --> 00:50:12.599
 that some of the miracles

00:50:12.599 --> 00:50:13.819
 that Jesus did

00:50:13.819 --> 00:50:16.239
 actually include

00:50:16.239 --> 00:50:18.379
 an emphasis on being made whole.

00:50:19.440 --> 00:50:20.399
 Being made whole.

00:50:20.659 --> 00:50:21.119
 For example,

00:50:21.199 --> 00:50:21.839
 you find a woman

00:50:21.840 --> 00:50:23.740
 with the hemorrhage of blood

00:50:23.740 --> 00:50:25.539
 where you find

00:50:25.539 --> 00:50:27.280
 Matthew chapter 9,

00:50:27.320 --> 00:50:27.900
 verse 22,

00:50:28.019 --> 00:50:29.500
 and the other accounts

00:50:29.500 --> 00:50:30.140
 of it as well.

00:50:30.720 --> 00:50:31.380
 You'll find this is

00:50:31.380 --> 00:50:32.420
 what Jesus said to her.

00:50:32.640 --> 00:50:35.120
 Your faith has made you whole.

00:50:35.600 --> 00:50:36.000
 Literally.

00:50:36.180 --> 00:50:36.880
 It may be not always

00:50:36.880 --> 00:50:37.880
 translated that way,

00:50:38.140 --> 00:50:38.920
 but that's exactly

00:50:38.920 --> 00:50:39.940
 what this word means.

00:50:40.019 --> 00:50:41.019
 To be saved,

00:50:41.100 --> 00:50:41.400
 you see,

00:50:41.720 --> 00:50:44.200
 means to have your whole person

00:50:44.200 --> 00:50:47.260
 brought under the provision

00:50:47.260 --> 00:50:48.440
 that Christ has made

00:50:48.440 --> 00:50:49.160
 of salvation

00:50:49.159 --> 00:50:50.980
 so that ultimately,

00:50:51.899 --> 00:50:52.759
 if you think of it

00:50:52.759 --> 00:50:54.440
 ultimately in heaven,

00:50:54.679 --> 00:50:56.059
 that is what human beings

00:50:56.059 --> 00:50:56.679
 in heaven

00:50:56.679 --> 00:50:58.579
 in their state of resurrection

00:50:58.579 --> 00:50:59.819
 and glory will be.

00:51:00.119 --> 00:51:01.319
 They will be whole.

00:51:02.920 --> 00:51:04.359
 They will be entire.

00:51:05.139 --> 00:51:05.679
 Mentally,

00:51:06.159 --> 00:51:06.719
 spiritually,

00:51:07.239 --> 00:51:07.699
 physically,

00:51:08.759 --> 00:51:10.519
 they will be perfect.

00:51:11.920 --> 00:51:13.379
 They will be saved.

00:51:14.480 --> 00:51:15.839
 All the vestiges

00:51:15.840 --> 00:51:19.500
 of sin,

00:51:20.160 --> 00:51:20.860
 of death,

00:51:21.660 --> 00:51:22.360
 will have gone.

00:51:24.500 --> 00:51:25.660
 That's what Jesus

00:51:25.660 --> 00:51:27.280
 came into the world for.

00:51:27.940 --> 00:51:29.620
 To make us whole.

00:51:32.200 --> 00:51:33.519
 To put together

00:51:33.519 --> 00:51:34.180
 what we,

00:51:34.539 --> 00:51:35.340
 by our sin,

00:51:35.600 --> 00:51:36.260
 fragmented

00:51:36.260 --> 00:51:38.300
 and tore apart.

00:51:39.900 --> 00:51:41.620
 And He came into the world

00:51:41.619 --> 00:51:43.460
 to mend this.

00:51:44.400 --> 00:51:45.759
 To fix this.

00:51:47.400 --> 00:51:48.819
 To make us whole.

00:51:50.739 --> 00:51:51.779
 To be the kind

00:51:51.779 --> 00:51:52.759
 of human beings

00:51:52.759 --> 00:51:54.839
 that God

00:51:54.839 --> 00:51:56.960
 created us for.

00:51:59.400 --> 00:51:59.940
 Salvation,

00:52:00.099 --> 00:52:00.380
 you see,

00:52:01.079 --> 00:52:02.299
 really restores

00:52:02.299 --> 00:52:02.859
 everything.

00:52:04.519 --> 00:52:05.299
 It restores

00:52:05.299 --> 00:52:07.299
 everything we lost

00:52:07.299 --> 00:52:08.639
 in our sin

00:52:08.639 --> 00:52:09.539
 against God.

00:52:09.539 --> 00:52:11.179
 restores

00:52:11.179 --> 00:52:12.000
 our righteousness.

00:52:13.320 --> 00:52:13.820
 Restores

00:52:13.820 --> 00:52:14.900
 our perfect holiness

00:52:14.900 --> 00:52:15.719
 ultimately.

00:52:16.659 --> 00:52:17.059
 Restores

00:52:17.059 --> 00:52:17.880
 our relationship

00:52:17.880 --> 00:52:18.779
 with God.

00:52:19.599 --> 00:52:20.340
 Our relationship

00:52:20.340 --> 00:52:21.659
 to God's requirements.

00:52:21.940 --> 00:52:22.279
 Everything

00:52:22.279 --> 00:52:23.779
 that we require

00:52:23.779 --> 00:52:24.579
 is restored

00:52:24.579 --> 00:52:25.320
 in Christ.

00:52:28.599 --> 00:52:29.679
 Go your way,

00:52:29.759 --> 00:52:30.539
 He said to the woman.

00:52:31.960 --> 00:52:32.559
 Your faith

00:52:32.559 --> 00:52:33.759
 has made you whole.

00:52:35.340 --> 00:52:35.940
 Salvation

00:52:35.940 --> 00:52:36.820
 is making you

00:52:36.820 --> 00:52:37.739
 whole,

00:52:38.360 --> 00:52:38.860
 entire.

00:52:39.539 --> 00:52:40.739
 the very thing

00:52:40.739 --> 00:52:41.519
 that we need.

00:52:43.099 --> 00:52:43.960
 And there is no other

00:52:43.960 --> 00:52:45.360
 name given

00:52:45.360 --> 00:52:46.139
 amongst men

00:52:46.139 --> 00:52:46.539
 whereby

00:52:46.539 --> 00:52:49.259
 we must be saved.

00:52:50.119 --> 00:52:50.820
 You see the name,

00:52:51.340 --> 00:52:52.440
 the word name

00:52:52.440 --> 00:52:53.420
 is used again there.

00:52:53.759 --> 00:52:55.039
 There is no other

00:52:55.039 --> 00:52:56.519
 name under heaven

00:52:56.519 --> 00:52:57.779
 given among men

00:52:57.779 --> 00:52:59.000
 by which we must be saved.

00:52:59.199 --> 00:52:59.579
 In other words,

00:53:00.119 --> 00:53:00.579
 he's really,

00:53:01.519 --> 00:53:02.239
 Peter is really

00:53:02.239 --> 00:53:03.420
 making his point again

00:53:03.420 --> 00:53:04.139
 forcibly

00:53:04.139 --> 00:53:05.039
 and emphatically.

00:53:05.039 --> 00:53:06.840
 there is no one

00:53:06.840 --> 00:53:07.739
 else that has

00:53:07.739 --> 00:53:08.599
 these attributes

00:53:08.599 --> 00:53:09.900
 that Jesus has.

00:53:10.400 --> 00:53:11.000
 Nobody else

00:53:11.000 --> 00:53:11.840
 has the name

00:53:11.840 --> 00:53:12.559
 that he has

00:53:12.559 --> 00:53:13.559
 because he is God.

00:53:13.639 --> 00:53:14.420
 Nobody but God

00:53:14.420 --> 00:53:15.579
 has that name,

00:53:15.719 --> 00:53:16.759
 has these attributes,

00:53:16.900 --> 00:53:17.659
 these qualities.

00:53:19.199 --> 00:53:20.380
 No other name

00:53:20.380 --> 00:53:20.860
 is given

00:53:20.860 --> 00:53:21.420
 under heaven

00:53:21.420 --> 00:53:22.440
 amongst men.

00:53:23.440 --> 00:53:24.659
 It's all in him.

00:53:24.659 --> 00:53:29.399
 Muhammad doesn't have it.

00:53:30.619 --> 00:53:32.019
 Buddha doesn't have it.

00:53:33.539 --> 00:53:34.539
 Hindu gods

00:53:34.539 --> 00:53:35.239
 don't have it.

00:53:37.239 --> 00:53:38.579
 The Christ of liberal

00:53:38.579 --> 00:53:39.279
 theologians

00:53:39.279 --> 00:53:40.039
 doesn't have it.

00:53:41.159 --> 00:53:41.799
 Secularism

00:53:41.799 --> 00:53:42.559
 doesn't have it.

00:53:43.559 --> 00:53:44.119
 Atheism

00:53:44.119 --> 00:53:44.859
 doesn't have it.

00:53:44.860 --> 00:53:47.120
 It's nowhere else.

00:53:48.440 --> 00:53:49.740
 It's all here

00:53:49.740 --> 00:53:51.180
 in the person

00:53:51.180 --> 00:53:51.800
 of Jesus.

00:53:52.460 --> 00:53:53.320
 There is no

00:53:53.320 --> 00:53:54.720
 other name

00:53:54.720 --> 00:53:56.400
 given under heaven

00:53:56.400 --> 00:53:58.840
 whereby we must

00:53:58.840 --> 00:54:00.400
 be saved.

00:54:02.019 --> 00:54:02.680
 You know,

00:54:02.720 --> 00:54:03.680
 I think we've lost

00:54:03.680 --> 00:54:05.800
 in our nation

00:54:05.800 --> 00:54:06.380
 and even through

00:54:06.380 --> 00:54:07.059
 the church,

00:54:08.260 --> 00:54:09.099
 in a wider sense

00:54:09.099 --> 00:54:09.579
 at least,

00:54:09.960 --> 00:54:12.360
 we've lost

00:54:12.360 --> 00:54:13.720
 something of

00:54:13.720 --> 00:54:14.720
 the dishonor

00:54:14.719 --> 00:54:15.359
 that's done

00:54:15.359 --> 00:54:16.139
 to Jesus

00:54:16.139 --> 00:54:18.519
 when any alternatives

00:54:18.519 --> 00:54:19.539
 are placed along

00:54:19.539 --> 00:54:20.000
 with him

00:54:20.000 --> 00:54:21.219
 as the means

00:54:21.219 --> 00:54:22.079
 to salvation.

00:54:23.799 --> 00:54:25.119
 It's a dishonor

00:54:25.119 --> 00:54:25.759
 to the name

00:54:25.759 --> 00:54:26.339
 of Jesus.

00:54:26.779 --> 00:54:27.399
 It's an honor

00:54:27.399 --> 00:54:28.439
 to the reputation

00:54:28.439 --> 00:54:29.079
 of Jesus.

00:54:29.379 --> 00:54:30.019
 It's a dishonor

00:54:30.019 --> 00:54:30.879
 to the person

00:54:30.879 --> 00:54:31.599
 of Jesus.

00:54:32.579 --> 00:54:33.159
 It's an honor

00:54:33.159 --> 00:54:33.919
 to the work

00:54:33.919 --> 00:54:34.399
 of Jesus,

00:54:34.519 --> 00:54:35.079
 to the death

00:54:35.079 --> 00:54:35.899
 and to the resurrection

00:54:35.899 --> 00:54:36.519
 of Jesus,

00:54:36.699 --> 00:54:38.000
 to even suggest

00:54:38.000 --> 00:54:39.119
 that there could be

00:54:39.119 --> 00:54:39.899
 a semblance

00:54:39.899 --> 00:54:41.239
 of qualification

00:54:41.239 --> 00:54:42.119
 on the part

00:54:42.119 --> 00:54:42.699
 of anyone

00:54:42.699 --> 00:54:43.739
 or anything else

00:54:43.739 --> 00:54:44.779
 but him.

00:54:47.779 --> 00:54:48.679
 And actually,

00:54:49.539 --> 00:54:50.000
 you and I

00:54:50.000 --> 00:54:50.959
 are doing the same

00:54:50.959 --> 00:54:53.219
 when we refuse

00:54:53.219 --> 00:54:54.079
 to accept him

00:54:54.079 --> 00:54:54.659
 and bow

00:54:54.659 --> 00:54:55.799
 in obedience

00:54:55.799 --> 00:54:56.959
 to his authority.

00:54:58.259 --> 00:54:59.159
 That's really

00:54:59.159 --> 00:55:00.599
 just going back

00:55:00.599 --> 00:55:01.539
 into yourself,

00:55:03.319 --> 00:55:04.539
 trusting in yourself.

00:55:04.539 --> 00:55:10.219
 today,

00:55:10.219 --> 00:55:11.059
 if you and I

00:55:11.059 --> 00:55:11.699
 are rejecting

00:55:11.699 --> 00:55:12.279
 Jesus,

00:55:12.920 --> 00:55:14.259
 we are

00:55:14.259 --> 00:55:15.179
 dishonoring him.

00:55:16.659 --> 00:55:17.219
 We're

00:55:17.219 --> 00:55:18.420
 dishonoring his name.

00:55:19.980 --> 00:55:20.759
 We're saying,

00:55:21.460 --> 00:55:21.960
 I know that

00:55:21.960 --> 00:55:22.579
 this is what

00:55:22.579 --> 00:55:23.079
 the Bible

00:55:23.079 --> 00:55:23.779
 tells me

00:55:23.779 --> 00:55:24.400
 about him

00:55:24.400 --> 00:55:26.440
 and I wouldn't

00:55:26.440 --> 00:55:27.360
 say it's untrue

00:55:27.360 --> 00:55:27.679
 but,

00:55:28.000 --> 00:55:28.500
 but,

00:55:28.739 --> 00:55:28.960
 but,

00:55:28.960 --> 00:55:33.340
 please don't

00:55:33.340 --> 00:55:34.820
 dishonor Christ,

00:55:35.519 --> 00:55:36.820
 dishonor his cross,

00:55:37.340 --> 00:55:38.679
 dishonor his resurrection

00:55:38.679 --> 00:55:40.460
 by refusing

00:55:40.460 --> 00:55:41.519
 to receive him

00:55:41.519 --> 00:55:42.360
 into your life

00:55:42.360 --> 00:55:44.099
 as your Savior too.

00:55:45.800 --> 00:55:46.900
 Because there is

00:55:46.900 --> 00:55:47.420
 no other.

00:55:49.159 --> 00:55:49.880
 And to have

00:55:49.880 --> 00:55:50.599
 any other

00:55:50.599 --> 00:55:52.159
 is to dishonor

00:55:52.159 --> 00:55:52.480
 him,

00:55:53.119 --> 00:55:54.260
 the only Savior

00:55:54.260 --> 00:55:55.179
 who exists.

00:55:55.179 --> 00:55:57.000
 And you see,

00:55:57.119 --> 00:55:57.399
 finally,

00:55:58.319 --> 00:55:58.859
 by whom

00:55:58.859 --> 00:56:00.719
 we must

00:56:00.719 --> 00:56:01.619
 be saved.

00:56:02.659 --> 00:56:03.460
 Doesn't say

00:56:03.460 --> 00:56:04.419
 might be saved.

00:56:05.119 --> 00:56:05.940
 Doesn't say

00:56:05.940 --> 00:56:06.940
 could be saved.

00:56:07.919 --> 00:56:08.739
 It says

00:56:08.739 --> 00:56:09.359
 by whom

00:56:09.359 --> 00:56:10.759
 we must

00:56:10.759 --> 00:56:11.599
 be saved.

00:56:12.379 --> 00:56:12.619
 You see,

00:56:12.739 --> 00:56:13.639
 being saved

00:56:13.639 --> 00:56:14.919
 is an

00:56:14.919 --> 00:56:15.859
 indispensable

00:56:15.859 --> 00:56:17.139
 thing for us.

00:56:17.699 --> 00:56:18.199
 And because

00:56:18.199 --> 00:56:19.199
 being saved

00:56:19.199 --> 00:56:20.099
 or salvation

00:56:20.099 --> 00:56:21.659
 is indispensable

00:56:21.659 --> 00:56:22.819
 for human beings

00:56:22.819 --> 00:56:23.719
 like you and I,

00:56:24.159 --> 00:56:25.019
 therefore the call

00:56:25.019 --> 00:56:25.659
 of the gospel

00:56:25.659 --> 00:56:27.199
 is in the imperative.

00:56:30.039 --> 00:56:31.139
 It's in the way

00:56:31.139 --> 00:56:31.460
 of a,

00:56:31.639 --> 00:56:31.860
 yes,

00:56:31.900 --> 00:56:32.679
 it's an invitation

00:56:32.679 --> 00:56:33.139
 of course,

00:56:33.500 --> 00:56:34.119
 but it's also

00:56:34.119 --> 00:56:34.739
 an invitation

00:56:34.739 --> 00:56:35.380
 in the form

00:56:35.380 --> 00:56:36.139
 of a command.

00:56:36.880 --> 00:56:37.400
 Repent.

00:56:38.079 --> 00:56:38.780
 Believe.

00:56:39.400 --> 00:56:40.400
 Come to me.

00:56:41.739 --> 00:56:42.759
 Because salvation

00:56:42.759 --> 00:56:44.900
 is indispensable

00:56:44.900 --> 00:56:45.500
 for us.

00:56:45.559 --> 00:56:46.179
 How can we

00:56:46.179 --> 00:56:47.119
 think of it

00:56:47.119 --> 00:56:48.119
 as anything else?

00:56:50.280 --> 00:56:50.800
 Therefore,

 today,

 sinners,

00:57:19.179 --> 00:57:19.960
 by confessing

 simplest

00:57:27.199 --> 00:57:28.759
 language,

 believing

00:57:31.199 --> 00:57:32.659

00:57:48.960 --> 00:57:49.640
 freedom with

00:57:50.280 --> 00:57:50.800
 makes us

00:57:50.800 --> 00:57:51.120
 free.

00:57:52.160 --> 00:57:52.640
 We may

00:57:52.640 --> 00:57:53.000
 know the

00:57:53.000 --> 00:57:53.480
 righteousness

00:57:53.480 --> 00:57:53.980
 that He

00:57:53.980 --> 00:57:55.120
 died to

00:57:55.120 --> 00:57:55.780
 achieve for

00:57:55.780 --> 00:57:56.320
 His people.

00:57:57.320 --> 00:57:57.680
 We may

00:57:57.680 --> 00:57:58.060
 know that

00:57:58.060 --> 00:57:58.900

00:57:58.900 --> 00:57:59.519
 You, our

00:57:59.519 --> 00:58:00.000
 God and

00:58:00.000 --> 00:58:00.560
 Father in

00:58:02.740 --> 00:58:03.280
 into Your

00:58:03.280 --> 00:58:04.900
 presence as

00:58:04.900 --> 00:58:05.420
 those who are

00:58:05.420 --> 00:58:05.960
 no longer

00:58:05.960 --> 00:58:06.720
 regarded as

00:58:06.720 --> 00:58:07.460
 guilty before

00:58:07.460 --> 00:58:08.940
 You, but

00:58:08.940 --> 00:58:09.760
 freed and

00:58:09.760 --> 00:58:10.280
 washed from

00:58:10.280 --> 00:58:10.980
 our sins.

00:58:11.659 --> 00:58:12.599
 We ask, O

00:58:12.599 --> 00:58:13.119
 Lord, that

00:58:13.119 --> 00:58:13.599
 through this

00:58:13.599 --> 00:58:15.260
 day Jesus

00:58:15.260 --> 00:58:15.760
 may be

00:58:15.760 --> 00:58:16.420
 precious to

00:58:16.420 --> 00:58:17.619
 us more

00:58:17.619 --> 00:58:18.159
 and more,

00:58:19.099 --> 00:58:19.500
 and may it

00:58:19.500 --> 00:58:20.000
 be so for

00:58:20.000 --> 00:58:20.639
 us as life

00:58:20.639 --> 00:58:21.280
 goes by,

00:58:22.079 --> 00:58:22.519
 that His

00:58:22.519 --> 00:58:23.300
 preciousness

00:58:23.300 --> 00:58:24.059
 increases in

00:58:24.059 --> 00:58:24.820
 our estimation

00:58:24.820 --> 00:58:26.220
 and our

00:58:26.220 --> 00:58:26.880
 commitment to

00:58:26.880 --> 00:58:27.659
 Him likewise.

00:58:28.820 --> 00:58:29.440
 So bless us

00:58:29.440 --> 00:58:29.980
 now we pray

00:58:29.980 --> 00:58:30.500

 cleansing all

00:58:32.340 --> 00:58:32.760
 that is of

00:58:32.760 --> 00:58:33.280
 sin in

00:58:33.280 --> 00:58:34.019
 Jesus' name.

00:58:34.659 --> 00:58:34.980
 Amen.

01:00:49.840 --> 01:00:50.539
 a

01:01:14.660 --> 01:01:16.820
 Save us,

01:01:16.820 --> 01:01:18.640
 O Lord,

01:01:23.019 --> 01:01:24.380
 O Lord,

01:01:25.380 --> 01:01:27.160
 we may
