00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.219
 Psalm 21, to the chief musician, a psalm of David.

00:00:04.219 --> 00:00:10.480
 The king shall have joy in your strength, O Lord, and in your salvation.

00:00:10.480 --> 00:00:13.019
! How greatly shall he rejoice!

00:00:13.939 --> 00:00:18.699
 You have given him his heart's desire and have not withheld the request of his lips.

00:00:19.480 --> 00:00:19.900
 Selah.

00:00:21.120 --> 00:00:24.320
 For you meet him with the blessings of goodness.

00:00:24.620 --> 00:00:27.519
 You set a crown of pure gold upon his head.

00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:33.320
 He asked life from you and you gave it to him, length of days forever and ever.

00:00:34.380 --> 00:00:36.600
 His glory is great in your salvation.

00:00:37.879 --> 00:00:40.539
 Honor and majesty you have placed upon him.

00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:44.700
 For you have made him most blessed forever.

00:00:45.799 --> 00:00:49.760
 You have made him exceedingly glad with your presence.

00:00:50.359 --> 00:00:53.359
 For the king trusts in the Lord.

00:00:53.359 --> 00:00:57.719
 And through the mercy of the Most High, he shall not be moved.

00:00:58.899 --> 00:01:00.780
 Your hand will find all your enemies.

00:01:01.159 --> 00:01:03.519
 Your right hand will find those who hate you.

00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:06.980
 You shall make them as a fiery oven in the time of your anger.

00:01:07.379 --> 00:01:09.719
 The Lord shall swallow them up in his wrath.

00:01:10.039 --> 00:01:11.760
 And the fire shall devour them.

00:01:13.099 --> 00:01:15.900
 Their offspring you shall destroy from the earth.

00:01:16.099 --> 00:01:17.960
 And their descendants from the sons of men.

00:01:17.959 --> 00:01:20.739
 For they intended evil against you.

00:01:21.259 --> 00:01:24.959
 They devised a plot which they are not able to perform.

00:01:25.699 --> 00:01:28.259
 Therefore you will make them turn their back.

00:01:28.839 --> 00:01:33.699
 You will make ready your arrows on your string toward their faces.

00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:37.719
 Be exalted, O Lord, in your own strength.

00:01:38.219 --> 00:01:40.939
 We will sing and praise your power.

00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:43.919
 The word of the Lord for the people of God.

00:01:44.699 --> 00:01:45.799
 Thanks be to God.

00:01:46.299 --> 00:01:46.979
 Please be seated.

00:01:46.980 --> 00:01:52.439
 Isaiah 40 tells us that the grass withers and the flower fades.

00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:55.340
 But the word of the Lord stands forever.

00:01:56.460 --> 00:02:01.420
 In Luke 1, the angel Gabriel who ministers in the presence of God himself.

00:02:01.880 --> 00:02:06.180
 Says that the word of God shall not be void of power.

00:02:07.080 --> 00:02:08.060
 May it be so.

00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:09.680
 Let's pray.

00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:09.759
 Amen.

00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:17.419
 Lord, we ask that your Holy Spirit will please make clear.

00:02:18.120 --> 00:02:21.899
 Illumine your word to your people today, Lord.

00:02:22.159 --> 00:02:27.759
 And to all that you have brought close enough to hear of the glory of Jesus Christ.

00:02:28.399 --> 00:02:30.780
 The Savior of sinners.

00:02:30.780 --> 00:02:37.259
 Lord, we ask that you will please apply your truth to our lives, Lord.

00:02:37.259 --> 00:02:39.000
 In a way that no preacher ever could.

00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:42.520
 In a way that our own minds could never conceive.

00:02:43.180 --> 00:02:45.680
 We pray that you will make our hearts tender.

00:02:46.420 --> 00:02:47.620
 Break up the hard soil.

00:02:48.379 --> 00:02:53.060
 May the gospel of Jesus Christ be implanted in our hearts.

00:02:53.060 --> 00:02:56.860
 And in the hearts of everyone that you redeemed and purchased by your blood.

00:02:57.140 --> 00:02:59.319
 All those that you are drawing near to yourself.

00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:02.780
 Please do this for your glory alone we ask.

00:03:03.199 --> 00:03:03.500
 Amen.

00:03:03.500 --> 00:03:03.620
 Amen.

00:03:03.620 --> 00:03:16.900
 Well, empathy means to undergo something or to feel something with another person.

00:03:18.180 --> 00:03:25.659
 When a person we are watching is in discomfort, we feel discomfort with them.

00:03:25.659 --> 00:03:33.939
 When a person we are watching is disappointed, we respond to make things better.

00:03:37.180 --> 00:03:38.859
 Think of how you have experienced this.

00:03:38.939 --> 00:03:42.579
 Your team was all watching your coach at halftime.

00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:45.060
 Or maybe your class is all watching the teacher.

00:03:46.300 --> 00:03:49.939
 And as kids, you have to watch your parents and respond accordingly.

00:03:49.939 --> 00:03:56.539
 When they are happy, when they are rejoicing, when they are walking through the house whistling or singing and humming,

00:03:57.240 --> 00:04:00.819
 then everyone's emotions seem to rise with them, don't they?

00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:10.000
 Well, in ancient Israel, under the old covenant, we see a very important principle that is still true for the kingdom of Christ.

00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:14.219
 As goes the king, so goes the kingdom.

00:04:14.219 --> 00:04:25.720
 In Psalm 20, the psalm from last week, remember the king was low because all the people gather around and they wish for the king to be lifted up by God.

00:04:26.019 --> 00:04:27.939
 As the king goes, so will we all go.

00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:33.920
 And now, in Psalm 21, the king is rejoicing.

00:04:34.879 --> 00:04:37.300
 And all the people will rejoice with the king.

00:04:37.300 --> 00:04:44.620
 So, beloved congregation of our Lord Jesus Christ and dear friends, who God has put you close enough to listen,

00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:50.720
 the question I invite us to wrestle with together as we walk through Psalm 21 is this.

00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:53.980
 Why does this king rejoice?

00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:57.040
 Why is it that this king rejoices?

00:04:59.500 --> 00:05:01.460
 I have three reasons that I see here.

00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:04.060
 The first, and we know the king is David.

00:05:04.180 --> 00:05:05.460
 It's a psalm of David.

00:05:05.459 --> 00:05:10.339
 He rejoices, first of all, because God answered his prayer.

00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:14.000
 God answered David's prayer.

00:05:14.799 --> 00:05:18.199
 Psalm 20 is the king and the people bringing their prayer before the Lord.

00:05:18.719 --> 00:05:22.439
 And Psalm 21 is how God has responded.

00:05:23.459 --> 00:05:27.659
 The occasion of Psalm 20 was the king and the nation preparing to go to war.

00:05:28.099 --> 00:05:33.139
 Now, the occasion of Psalm 21 is the king celebrating on the other side of the battle.

00:05:33.139 --> 00:05:39.039
 Celebrating the victory that God gave him once it's been accomplished.

00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:44.039
 It's a prayer that the king is singing in front of God's people.

00:05:45.039 --> 00:05:47.919
 It's from the lips of the king, but it's directed to God.

00:05:47.979 --> 00:05:49.240
 The whole thing, it's a prayer.

00:05:49.659 --> 00:05:52.120
 And the king is referring to himself in third person.

00:05:52.120 --> 00:05:59.800
 Notice how both the intro and the outro, so verse 1 and verse 13, if you could take a look,

00:06:01.160 --> 00:06:03.939
 they set the theme of the whole psalm.

00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:06.220
 They state what is true of God.

00:06:07.480 --> 00:06:11.620
 And the tense, the verbs, the tense of the verbs is very important throughout this psalm.

00:06:12.280 --> 00:06:17.379
 Verse 1 and verse 13, intro and outro, they both use the present tense.

00:06:17.379 --> 00:06:22.839
 Look at verse 1, the king shall have joy, he shall have joy in your strength.

00:06:23.219 --> 00:06:26.579
 And in your salvation, how greatly shall he rejoice.

00:06:26.939 --> 00:06:30.139
 And then he goes in to rejoice throughout the whole psalm and continue to pray that.

00:06:30.899 --> 00:06:33.079
 And verse 13, he says, be exalted.

00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:38.040
 Right now, in this moment, present tense, be exalted, O Lord, in your strength.

00:06:38.420 --> 00:06:40.159
 We will sing and praise your power.

00:06:40.899 --> 00:06:43.719
 The people are joining and praising the power of God.

00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:50.820
 There's a direct connection between Psalm 20 from last week, right before this.

00:06:50.880 --> 00:06:54.220
 You'll want to keep an eye at that one, and Psalm 21.

00:06:55.280 --> 00:06:58.860
 In Psalm 20, verses 4 and 5, they wish,

00:06:59.060 --> 00:07:05.400
 may the Lord fulfill all your petitions and grant your kings according to his heart's desire.

00:07:05.660 --> 00:07:08.300
 Do you see that in Psalm 20, verses 4 and 5?

00:07:09.100 --> 00:07:12.860
 Notice how that's answered now in Psalm 21, verse 2.

00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:20.980
 You, God, have given the king his heart's desire and have not withheld the request of his lips.

00:07:21.420 --> 00:07:22.820
 The prayer has been answered.

00:07:23.440 --> 00:07:24.900
 That's why the king's rejoicing.

00:07:25.780 --> 00:07:26.800
 One more example.

00:07:26.940 --> 00:07:29.180
 Look at Psalm 20, verse 7.

00:07:31.080 --> 00:07:34.880
 This is the great central part of this passage of this psalm.

00:07:35.140 --> 00:07:40.540
 They say, some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we will remember the name of the Lord our God.

00:07:40.540 --> 00:07:42.879
 And look at Psalm 21, verse 7.

00:07:43.879 --> 00:07:44.520
 It concludes,

00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:52.780
 The prayer has been answered.

00:07:53.220 --> 00:07:56.040
 Their trust in the Lord has not been disappointed.

00:07:56.920 --> 00:08:00.300
 And so Psalm 21 sings of God's faithfulness.

00:08:00.860 --> 00:08:02.660
 We put our trust and our faith in God.

00:08:02.660 --> 00:08:04.600
 We underwent the battle.

00:08:05.140 --> 00:08:08.300
 And we came out on the other side, praising the Lord victorious.

00:08:08.660 --> 00:08:10.020
 He's done it again.

00:08:11.320 --> 00:08:14.200
 Well, now the body of this psalm has two parts.

00:08:15.180 --> 00:08:17.460
 They can be divided by the tense as well.

00:08:17.760 --> 00:08:19.760
 The first part is in the past tense.

00:08:19.840 --> 00:08:22.160
 Looking back on this battle they just came through.

00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:28.160
 It's what the king witnessed God do.

00:08:29.060 --> 00:08:30.000
 Look at verse 3.

00:08:30.880 --> 00:08:35.220
 For you meet with him the blessings of goodness.

00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:37.720
 You set a crown of pure gold upon his head.

00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:40.540
 He asked you for life and you gave it to him.

00:08:40.940 --> 00:08:41.840
 Length of days.

00:08:42.899 --> 00:08:43.399
 Verse 5.

00:08:43.500 --> 00:08:45.440
 His glory is great in your salvation.

00:08:45.700 --> 00:08:47.820
 Honor and majesty you have placed on him.

00:08:48.180 --> 00:08:48.639
 Verse 6.

00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:50.559
 For you have made him most blessed.

00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:57.819
 You have made him exceedingly glad of the joy of happiness with your presence.

00:08:59.199 --> 00:09:02.539
 And literally verse 6 is saying you have brightened the king.

00:09:02.639 --> 00:09:08.899
 You have made his face glow with the countenance from being in the presence of God.

00:09:09.699 --> 00:09:12.419
 And this is an allusion to what God did to Moses.

00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:15.480
 God brought Moses in a special way into his presence.

00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:18.120
 As the mediator between God and the people.

00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:20.060
 And Moses came back glowing.

00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:23.500
 His face brightened from being in the presence of God.

00:09:24.460 --> 00:09:27.100
 And that's what King David experienced.

00:09:27.820 --> 00:09:29.139
 And declares to the people.

00:09:29.240 --> 00:09:31.259
 God is faithful and he was with me.

00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:33.600
 I was in his presence all the while.

00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:35.060
 And it's his joy.

00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:38.060
 It's his joy to look at this God.

00:09:38.700 --> 00:09:40.360
 And celebrate his strength.

00:09:40.960 --> 00:09:43.299
 And his faithfulness to answer prayer.

00:09:43.299 --> 00:09:47.079
 It's what God has already done.

00:09:47.079 --> 00:09:51.959
 And what King David witnessed God doing that he declares back to the people.

00:09:52.959 --> 00:09:56.299
 So this king rejoices because God has answered prayer.

00:09:56.759 --> 00:10:01.879
 And because he has gotten to witness with his own eyes what God is faithful to do.

00:10:02.679 --> 00:10:03.539
 He asked it.

00:10:04.059 --> 00:10:04.719
 God did it.

00:10:04.720 --> 00:10:06.080
 And now he thanks God.

00:10:06.080 --> 00:10:06.120
 God.

00:10:08.400 --> 00:10:12.920
 Even these first few verses are an important point of application for us.

00:10:13.620 --> 00:10:15.639
 We are to bring our request before God.

00:10:16.560 --> 00:10:19.060
 We are to ask God to minister through his word.

00:10:19.460 --> 00:10:21.220
 And open our eyes to what he is doing.

00:10:21.800 --> 00:10:23.780
 The spiritual advancement of his kingdom.

00:10:24.500 --> 00:10:25.400
 And to trust him.

00:10:25.759 --> 00:10:26.680
 And his faithfulness.

00:10:26.980 --> 00:10:28.900
 And his power and his strength to do it.

00:10:28.899 --> 00:10:32.120
 And by trusting him and walking with him in that way.

00:10:32.259 --> 00:10:33.620
 Through the spiritual battle.

00:10:34.019 --> 00:10:35.299
 We enjoy his presence.

00:10:35.860 --> 00:10:38.879
 Our face is brightened by walking with God.

00:10:39.659 --> 00:10:40.939
 But it doesn't stop there.

00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:44.360
 We are then to gather with his people and tell of God's goodness.

00:10:45.039 --> 00:10:46.779
 Bear witness to God's faithfulness.

00:10:47.480 --> 00:10:48.399
 Share with one another.

00:10:49.779 --> 00:10:51.340
 And through the hardest times.

00:10:51.539 --> 00:10:55.139
 Some of you have been through maybe the hardest week of your entire life.

00:10:55.579 --> 00:10:56.699
 These past six days.

00:10:56.700 --> 00:11:01.600
 We are to bear witness of God's faithfulness.

00:11:01.700 --> 00:11:03.320
 Time and time again.

00:11:04.840 --> 00:11:09.040
 One of our dear brothers has been a great example and a model to me.

00:11:10.460 --> 00:11:13.660
 There are a little bit over 30 households in our congregation.

00:11:13.900 --> 00:11:16.500
 And there's 30 or 31 days in each month.

00:11:16.900 --> 00:11:18.920
 So he prays for each one of you.

00:11:19.160 --> 00:11:20.320
 One day of the month.

00:11:23.180 --> 00:11:25.280
 Another great example from the Puritans.

00:11:25.279 --> 00:11:27.159
 From this brother.

00:11:27.360 --> 00:11:28.019
 From many of you.

00:11:28.159 --> 00:11:28.819
 From my wife.

00:11:29.120 --> 00:11:30.939
 Is to write down what we're praying for.

00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:32.000
 Keep a prayer journal.

00:11:32.600 --> 00:11:32.899
 Why?

00:11:33.699 --> 00:11:35.679
 Because we forget so quickly, don't we?

00:11:36.199 --> 00:11:38.159
 But you start looking back and you say, whoa.

00:11:38.639 --> 00:11:40.279
 We prayed for this a month ago.

00:11:40.639 --> 00:11:41.379
 Two months ago.

00:11:42.000 --> 00:11:43.679
 Look at this amazing answer to prayer.

00:11:43.779 --> 00:11:45.319
 Not the way we would have imagined it.

00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:47.240
 But look how faithful God is.

00:11:47.500 --> 00:11:50.120
 And then we move into Psalm 21 mode.

00:11:50.139 --> 00:11:51.039
 And we praise God.

00:11:51.579 --> 00:11:52.539
 We tell one another.

00:11:52.539 --> 00:11:54.279
 We don't let it go unnoticed.

00:11:54.779 --> 00:11:55.959
 God has been faithful.

00:11:56.099 --> 00:11:56.819
 Look what he has done.

00:11:59.199 --> 00:12:04.259
 Another good example is to encourage in your household and yourself devotionally.

00:12:04.959 --> 00:12:07.980
 Let's pray for one person or family in the congregation.

00:12:08.419 --> 00:12:09.360
 One of our relatives.

00:12:09.860 --> 00:12:10.620
 Some know the Lord.

00:12:10.719 --> 00:12:11.179
 They need prayer.

00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:12.039
 Some don't know the Lord.

00:12:12.240 --> 00:12:13.079
 They need prayer too.

00:12:13.699 --> 00:12:14.899
 Let's bring that to God.

00:12:14.899 --> 00:12:18.639
 And then let's pray for his kingdom.

00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:21.340
 Someone else that comes to mind from work or school.

00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:24.100
 And let's thank the Lord when he is faithful.

00:12:26.379 --> 00:12:29.399
 Well, there's one other reason why this king rejoices.

00:12:29.799 --> 00:12:31.000
 Starting at verse 8.

00:12:32.399 --> 00:12:34.659
 And if you're like me, it's a bit of a twist.

00:12:34.840 --> 00:12:36.179
 It catches you by surprise.

00:12:36.779 --> 00:12:39.240
 Let me summarize what he rejoices for next this way.

00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:42.159
 The king rejoices in what God will do.

00:12:42.240 --> 00:12:43.360
 It's in the future tense.

00:12:44.659 --> 00:12:52.320
 What God will do in the future is hunt down and utterly demolish God's enemies.

00:12:53.200 --> 00:12:55.639
 Those who seek to destroy God.

00:12:56.500 --> 00:13:05.960
 And the king rejoices and calls God's people to rejoice in that coming judgment of God upon all the enemies of God's advancing kingdom.

00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:07.980
 And he rejoices in this.

00:13:09.259 --> 00:13:11.680
 Look, we are not more compassionate than God.

00:13:12.300 --> 00:13:14.800
 We need to align our prayers to scripture.

00:13:15.860 --> 00:13:17.139
 Not the other way around.

00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:22.340
 So a lot of these verses, I don't want you to take my word for it.

00:13:22.360 --> 00:13:24.519
 I want you to study it carefully in light of all the scripture.

00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:29.040
 And you're going to hear me pulling in some of the folks that have more credibility than I do.

00:13:29.600 --> 00:13:31.420
 But that's what the king rejoices in.

00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:33.879
 He trusts in what God is still to do.

00:13:34.120 --> 00:13:34.840
 Look at verse 8.

00:13:34.840 --> 00:13:39.180
 Your hand will find all your enemies.

00:13:39.860 --> 00:13:44.100
 There's not going to be an enemy that gets to stay hiding behind a tree or behind a rock.

00:13:44.440 --> 00:13:46.160
 You oppose yourself to God.

00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:48.120
 He will come and find you.

00:13:49.480 --> 00:13:50.060
 Verse 9.

00:13:50.680 --> 00:13:58.280
 God shall make them as a fiery oven in the day or the time of God's anger.

00:13:59.780 --> 00:14:03.320
 There is a day in the future, a time that's coming.

00:14:03.320 --> 00:14:12.020
 And it's the wrath of the Holy Creator God poured out against all who have rebelled against him.

00:14:12.019 --> 00:14:14.019
 Augustine.

00:14:14.019 --> 00:14:15.779
 Augustine.

00:14:15.779 --> 00:14:24.299
 Thou shall make them on fire within by the consciousness of their ungodliness.

00:14:24.299 --> 00:14:25.819
 You notice verse 9.

00:14:25.819 --> 00:14:25.839
 You notice verse 9.

00:14:25.839 --> 00:14:26.219
 He says,

00:14:26.219 --> 00:14:29.259
 You shall make them as a fiery oven.

00:14:30.319 --> 00:14:42.639
 They themselves will be burning, said Augustine, with the fire within them that's lit by the consciousness of ungodliness.

00:14:42.639 --> 00:14:44.279
 Charles Spurgeon.

00:14:44.279 --> 00:14:51.340
 They shall not only be cast into a furnace of fire, according to Matthew 13, 42,

00:14:51.340 --> 00:14:54.819
 but they shall also be their own torment.

00:14:55.819 --> 00:15:05.019
 The reflections and terrors of their own consciousness will be the internal torment of God's enemies in hell.

00:15:05.019 --> 00:15:07.699
 That's the end of Spurgeon's quote.

00:15:09.199 --> 00:15:14.600
 Verse 9 goes on to say that the Lord shall swallow them up in his wrath.

00:15:14.600 --> 00:15:19.200
 And the fire shall devour them.

00:15:23.700 --> 00:15:25.960
 The wrath of God.

00:15:27.220 --> 00:15:31.639
 God who is the creator and sustainer of everyone and everything.

00:15:32.500 --> 00:15:40.240
 God who is eternal, immortal, all-powerful, holy, pure.

00:15:40.240 --> 00:15:47.139
 His wrath will swallow up, consume everything that's impure.

00:15:48.120 --> 00:15:51.259
 There's no place to hide from the wrath of God.

00:15:52.419 --> 00:15:56.220
 His sin will destroy sinfulness.

00:15:58.000 --> 00:15:59.680
 One commentator said,

00:15:59.679 --> 00:16:06.199
 It's like the picture in this Psalm 21 of a furnace where the fire is extremely hot and the heat,

00:16:06.620 --> 00:16:14.419
 it's striking upon them from all sides, from above, from below, from all about, on all surfaces.

00:16:14.899 --> 00:16:17.479
 And the door to this furnace is closed.

00:16:18.699 --> 00:16:20.139
 There's no getting out of it.

00:16:20.439 --> 00:16:22.579
 And there's no cool air coming in.

00:16:22.579 --> 00:16:22.639
 Amen.

00:16:22.639 --> 00:16:22.639


00:16:22.639 --> 00:16:22.639


00:16:29.679 --> 00:16:31.479
 In verse 10, he says,

00:16:31.620 --> 00:16:36.359
 Their offspring you shall destroy from the earth,

00:16:36.739 --> 00:16:39.500
 their descendants from among the sons of men.

00:16:42.779 --> 00:16:50.139
 There's a day when evil men and evil women will not walk on the earth any longer.

00:16:50.839 --> 00:16:56.000
 There will be no place for wicked sinners in the new heavens and the new earth.

00:16:56.000 --> 00:17:01.340
 There will be no future descendants for those who rebel against God.

00:17:02.879 --> 00:17:03.720
 Verse 11,

00:17:03.840 --> 00:17:06.119
 For they intended evil against God.

00:17:06.220 --> 00:17:10.559
 They devised a plot which they are not able to perform.

00:17:10.920 --> 00:17:16.039
 They put all their chips, they put all their weapons in a different kingdom,

00:17:16.900 --> 00:17:20.200
 thinking that they will be right in the end.

00:17:21.160 --> 00:17:25.420
 And God's kingdom is the one that will prevail and will stand at last.

00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:28.720
 The plots to stand against God will all fail.

00:17:29.740 --> 00:17:30.400
 Verse 12,

00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:34.339
 Therefore, God will make them turn their back.

00:17:34.859 --> 00:17:37.059
 As we've seen, this could be language of retreat,

00:17:37.559 --> 00:17:40.039
 turning and running away, fleeing from the advancing kingdom.

00:17:40.279 --> 00:17:43.440
 Or it could be language of utter submission.

00:17:44.180 --> 00:17:47.339
 Put your nose in the dirt like Joshua made the enemies and come step,

00:17:47.339 --> 00:17:51.500
 put the toe of your sandal on the back of their neck.

00:17:51.500 --> 00:18:01.880
 You will make ready your arrows on your string toward their faces.

00:18:02.720 --> 00:18:08.460
 The Bible doesn't get any more violent than this language of the holy God

00:18:08.460 --> 00:18:12.960
 unleashing and aiming his wrath against sinners.

00:18:14.039 --> 00:18:16.799
 Their faces looking at him defiant.

00:18:16.799 --> 00:18:22.940
 Just as our faces looked at Christ on the cross,

00:18:23.839 --> 00:18:25.159
 spitting in his face,

00:18:27.460 --> 00:18:30.960
 the holy God, just and powerful,

00:18:31.519 --> 00:18:38.440
 he makes ready his arrows on his string toward the faces of his enemies.

00:18:38.440 --> 00:18:42.340
 Matthew Henry commented,

00:18:42.519 --> 00:18:46.360
 Those who might have had Christ to rule over them and save them

00:18:46.360 --> 00:18:51.840
 will think of how they rejected him and made him their enemy instead.

00:18:53.200 --> 00:18:59.820
 That of itself will be enough to make them for eternity a fire inside of themselves.

00:18:59.819 --> 00:19:04.899
 Brothers and sisters, dear friends,

00:19:05.899 --> 00:19:09.859
 if by God's mercy he's causing you to hear this warning now,

00:19:10.079 --> 00:19:12.619
 it's because he's loving and compassionate,

00:19:12.939 --> 00:19:14.779
 and his grace is for you now.

00:19:15.899 --> 00:19:21.980
 Because there is a time coming for God's wrath against sin to be poured out.

00:19:21.980 --> 00:19:25.860
 When God's will is set,

00:19:26.140 --> 00:19:29.140
 it's his eternal decree and God is unchanging.

00:19:30.099 --> 00:19:32.839
 When his will is set to destroy sin,

00:19:33.839 --> 00:19:38.799
 all of God's attributes follow in accordance.

00:19:40.160 --> 00:19:42.920
 God's will is set against sin.

00:19:42.920 --> 00:19:48.100
 So his omniscience will seek out the object of his anger,

00:19:48.400 --> 00:19:49.279
 his providence.

00:19:50.320 --> 00:19:52.440
 It sharpens the sword of his wrath.

00:19:52.980 --> 00:19:56.560
 His almightyness lifts up, so to speak,

00:19:56.700 --> 00:19:58.580
 the full reserves of his arsenal,

00:19:59.039 --> 00:20:00.480
 and it heaves it down

00:20:00.480 --> 00:20:03.740
 with fierce power to crush his enemies.

00:20:04.800 --> 00:20:07.500
 God's will is set against sin.

00:20:08.840 --> 00:20:11.860
 So what hope do sinners like you and me have

00:20:11.859 --> 00:20:14.559
 of escaping God's wrath?

00:20:17.259 --> 00:20:21.059
 We have no hope of salvation on our own.

00:20:22.619 --> 00:20:25.939
 There is no ransom for people like you and me

00:20:25.939 --> 00:20:28.059
 from the holy God

00:20:28.059 --> 00:20:32.859
 except that it be given freely by the holy God himself.

00:20:33.399 --> 00:20:36.819
 And this he has done by giving his own son, Jesus Christ.

00:20:36.919 --> 00:20:37.159
 Amen?

00:20:37.159 --> 00:20:37.299
 Amen?

00:20:37.299 --> 00:20:37.379
 Amen?

00:20:40.619 --> 00:20:45.259
 Now we need to see what happens in Psalm 21

00:20:45.259 --> 00:20:48.579
 as the king rejoices in God's salvation.

00:20:50.619 --> 00:20:52.059
 I'm going to point this out to you

00:20:52.059 --> 00:20:54.220
 by looking at the first and the last psalm once more.

00:20:54.339 --> 00:20:57.019
 Psalm 21 verse 1 and verse 13.

00:20:58.299 --> 00:21:00.379
 As the king rejoices in verse 1,

00:21:00.579 --> 00:21:01.740
 that's how the psalm begins.

00:21:01.839 --> 00:21:03.500
 He begins by singing alone,

00:21:03.500 --> 00:21:07.940
 looking forward to rejoicing greatly in God's salvation.

00:21:08.140 --> 00:21:08.500
 Verse 1,

00:21:08.579 --> 00:21:12.680
 the king shall have joy in God's strength.

00:21:13.299 --> 00:21:14.700
 And in God's salvation,

00:21:14.940 --> 00:21:16.559
 how greatly he shall rejoice.

00:21:17.319 --> 00:21:18.839
 But notice how now the nation

00:21:18.839 --> 00:21:20.960
 that witnessed God deliver their king,

00:21:21.519 --> 00:21:23.420
 when the people heard their king rejoicing

00:21:23.420 --> 00:21:24.740
 on the other side of the victory,

00:21:25.099 --> 00:21:26.579
 they echo back with him.

00:21:26.779 --> 00:21:27.740
 In verse 13,

00:21:27.740 --> 00:21:30.440
 Be exalted, O Lord,

00:21:30.599 --> 00:21:32.140
 in your own strength.

00:21:32.759 --> 00:21:33.599
 Look at the next word.

00:21:33.680 --> 00:21:34.359
 It's in the plural.

00:21:35.079 --> 00:21:38.099
 We will sing and praise your power.

00:21:39.099 --> 00:21:40.900
 So what happens as the king rejoices

00:21:40.900 --> 00:21:42.140
 in God's great salvation

00:21:42.140 --> 00:21:44.660
 is that the rejoicing spreads.

00:21:45.380 --> 00:21:46.660
 The rejoicing of the king

00:21:46.660 --> 00:21:48.420
 is shared with his people.

00:21:48.420 --> 00:21:53.000
 So Psalm 21 ends

00:21:53.000 --> 00:21:54.700
 with all God's people together

00:21:54.700 --> 00:21:55.720
 with the king,

00:21:55.920 --> 00:21:56.519
 exalting,

00:21:56.900 --> 00:21:57.259
 singing,

00:21:57.640 --> 00:21:58.640
 and praising God

00:21:58.640 --> 00:22:00.800
 for his strength and power.

00:22:02.400 --> 00:22:03.680
 What a great scene

00:22:03.680 --> 00:22:05.360
 to picture this in ancient Israel.

00:22:07.039 --> 00:22:09.320
 But the good news gets even better.

00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:12.539
 The rejoicing gets shared

00:22:12.539 --> 00:22:14.080
 by even more people.

00:22:14.079 --> 00:22:18.299
 And this Psalm 21 itself

00:22:18.299 --> 00:22:19.519
 points us toward this.

00:22:19.819 --> 00:22:21.740
 Would you look at verses 4 and 6?

00:22:22.199 --> 00:22:23.599
 Psalm 21 verse 4

00:22:23.599 --> 00:22:27.299
 speaks of the king

00:22:27.299 --> 00:22:29.220
 having length of days

00:22:29.220 --> 00:22:30.439
 forever and ever.

00:22:31.279 --> 00:22:32.019
 Now it's possible

00:22:32.019 --> 00:22:33.639
 that this is royal hyperbole.

00:22:34.099 --> 00:22:34.639
 In other words,

00:22:34.720 --> 00:22:35.639
 we love how it is

00:22:35.639 --> 00:22:36.480
 under King David

00:22:36.480 --> 00:22:37.379
 who is under God.

00:22:37.799 --> 00:22:38.779
 May this never stop.

00:22:41.439 --> 00:22:43.579
 David only lived to age 70.

00:22:44.079 --> 00:22:46.659
 He did not live forever and ever.

00:22:47.199 --> 00:22:48.259
 What about verse 6?

00:22:49.139 --> 00:22:50.419
 You have made the king

00:22:50.419 --> 00:22:52.480
 most blessed forever.

00:22:53.179 --> 00:22:54.980
 Was David blessed forever?

00:22:56.139 --> 00:22:57.899
 The promise of verse 7

00:22:57.899 --> 00:23:00.960
 is that David would never be moved.

00:23:01.720 --> 00:23:03.399
 This was not fulfilled historically.

00:23:03.939 --> 00:23:04.859
 David did fall.

00:23:05.679 --> 00:23:06.960
 He fell to sin publicly,

00:23:07.139 --> 00:23:07.460
 greatly,

00:23:07.639 --> 00:23:08.619
 late in his reign.

00:23:09.259 --> 00:23:11.699
 He was not steadfast personally.

00:23:12.099 --> 00:23:13.079
 David was moved.

00:23:14.079 --> 00:23:15.139
 And David's line

00:23:15.139 --> 00:23:16.619
 very quickly lost the throne.

00:23:18.379 --> 00:23:19.199
 And what about

00:23:19.199 --> 00:23:20.539
 the complete annihilation

00:23:20.539 --> 00:23:21.699
 of the enemies of the king?

00:23:22.720 --> 00:23:23.939
 Did that ever happen?

00:23:25.079 --> 00:23:26.179
 Well, you could say

00:23:26.179 --> 00:23:27.059
 on one level

00:23:27.059 --> 00:23:28.439
 King David and King Solomon

00:23:28.439 --> 00:23:29.779
 extended the borders

00:23:29.779 --> 00:23:31.139
 and God was faithful

00:23:31.139 --> 00:23:32.679
 to all he promised to Israel.

00:23:33.259 --> 00:23:34.699
 But some of God's enemies

00:23:34.699 --> 00:23:36.539
 were married to King Solomon.

00:23:36.539 --> 00:23:38.420
 So there's no way

00:23:38.420 --> 00:23:39.420
 it could have been fulfilled

00:23:39.420 --> 00:23:41.079
 under David and Solomon.

00:23:42.399 --> 00:23:43.420
 And after them

00:23:43.420 --> 00:23:44.420
 it doesn't get any better

00:23:44.420 --> 00:23:45.539
 for national Israel.

00:23:47.639 --> 00:23:49.859
 Their reign was not long lasting.

00:23:50.659 --> 00:23:52.159
 So Psalm 21 forces

00:23:52.159 --> 00:23:53.440
 God's people

00:23:53.440 --> 00:23:54.519
 from every generation

00:23:54.519 --> 00:23:56.039
 to look forward

00:23:56.039 --> 00:23:57.460
 to an even more

00:23:57.460 --> 00:23:58.480
 final fulfillment.

00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:00.619
 Psalm 21

00:24:00.619 --> 00:24:02.240
 was given to God's people

00:24:02.240 --> 00:24:03.579
 to help us celebrate

00:24:03.579 --> 00:24:04.779
 the victory

00:24:04.779 --> 00:24:05.980
 of the Messiah.

00:24:06.779 --> 00:24:07.679
 The coming king.

00:24:09.000 --> 00:24:10.519
 The occasion of Psalm 20

00:24:10.519 --> 00:24:11.019
 you remember

00:24:11.019 --> 00:24:11.899
 it was the king

00:24:11.899 --> 00:24:13.059
 preparing to go to war.

00:24:13.619 --> 00:24:14.579
 And in Psalm 21

00:24:14.579 --> 00:24:15.519
 it celebrates

00:24:15.519 --> 00:24:16.139
 how that prayer

00:24:16.139 --> 00:24:16.740
 was answered.

00:24:17.659 --> 00:24:18.139
 The promise

00:24:18.139 --> 00:24:18.799
 that the mission

00:24:18.799 --> 00:24:19.839
 would be accomplished.

00:24:20.379 --> 00:24:20.819
 The battle

00:24:20.819 --> 00:24:21.500
 would be won.

00:24:21.899 --> 00:24:22.919
 The victory song

00:24:22.919 --> 00:24:23.759
 would be sung.

00:24:24.720 --> 00:24:25.319
 Psalm 21

00:24:25.319 --> 00:24:26.480
 would have encouraged

00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:27.879
 our Lord Jesus

00:24:27.879 --> 00:24:29.399
 as he knew

00:24:29.399 --> 00:24:30.559
 he was going into battle

00:24:30.559 --> 00:24:31.379
 for his people.

00:24:31.380 --> 00:24:33.080
 he would be victorious

00:24:33.080 --> 00:24:33.880
 on the other side.

00:24:34.160 --> 00:24:35.260
 He would get to receive

00:24:35.260 --> 00:24:36.180
 all of these promises.

00:24:36.740 --> 00:24:37.740
 He would get to sing

00:24:37.740 --> 00:24:38.780
 Psalm 21

00:24:38.780 --> 00:24:40.020
 on the other side.

00:24:42.360 --> 00:24:43.120
 Psalm 21

00:24:43.120 --> 00:24:45.260
 begins with the king

00:24:45.260 --> 00:24:46.380
 singing alone.

00:24:47.660 --> 00:24:48.500
 Looking forward

00:24:48.500 --> 00:24:49.720
 to rejoicing

00:24:49.720 --> 00:24:51.000
 in the deliverance

00:24:51.000 --> 00:24:51.860
 God would give him.

00:24:53.000 --> 00:24:53.780
 Think of this

00:24:53.780 --> 00:24:55.120
 from the lips

00:24:55.120 --> 00:24:56.160
 of Jesus Christ

00:24:56.160 --> 00:24:57.300
 the king of kings.

00:24:58.360 --> 00:24:59.460
 Trusting this promise

00:24:59.460 --> 00:25:00.260
 of verse 1

00:25:00.259 --> 00:25:01.640
 the king

00:25:01.640 --> 00:25:02.400
 the Messiah

00:25:02.400 --> 00:25:03.559
 the anointed one

00:25:03.559 --> 00:25:04.039
 of God

00:25:04.039 --> 00:25:06.279
 shall have joy

00:25:06.279 --> 00:25:07.680
 in God's strength

00:25:07.680 --> 00:25:08.319
 oh Lord

00:25:08.319 --> 00:25:09.700
 and in your salvation

00:25:09.700 --> 00:25:10.700
 how greatly

00:25:10.700 --> 00:25:11.579
 Jesus Christ

00:25:11.579 --> 00:25:12.700
 shall rejoice.

00:25:14.279 --> 00:25:15.339
 According to his

00:25:15.339 --> 00:25:16.119
 divine nature

00:25:16.119 --> 00:25:17.259
 our Lord Jesus

00:25:17.259 --> 00:25:18.140
 knew that his

00:25:18.140 --> 00:25:19.220
 victory and dominion

00:25:19.220 --> 00:25:20.619
 would be inaugurated

00:25:20.619 --> 00:25:21.359
 spiritually

00:25:21.359 --> 00:25:22.819
 at his resurrection

00:25:22.819 --> 00:25:24.140
 his ascension

00:25:24.140 --> 00:25:25.079
 and his session

00:25:25.079 --> 00:25:26.039
 at the right hand

00:25:26.039 --> 00:25:27.079
 of God Almighty

00:25:27.079 --> 00:25:27.579
 in heaven.

00:25:28.299 --> 00:25:29.240
 He also knew

00:25:29.240 --> 00:25:30.559
 that the total surrender

00:25:30.559 --> 00:25:32.339
 of all of God's enemies

00:25:32.339 --> 00:25:33.539
 those who oppose

00:25:33.539 --> 00:25:34.599
 his advancing kingdom

00:25:34.599 --> 00:25:35.519
 would be

00:25:35.519 --> 00:25:37.299
 consummately completed

00:25:37.299 --> 00:25:39.059
 at his return

00:25:39.059 --> 00:25:39.579
 to earth

00:25:39.579 --> 00:25:40.539
 the great day

00:25:40.539 --> 00:25:41.900
 on which he will judge

00:25:41.900 --> 00:25:42.680
 the living

00:25:42.680 --> 00:25:43.759
 and the dead.

00:25:45.120 --> 00:25:46.299
 And since there was

00:25:46.299 --> 00:25:47.039
 no army

00:25:47.039 --> 00:25:48.339
 around King Jesus

00:25:48.339 --> 00:25:49.099
 as he prepared

00:25:49.099 --> 00:25:49.880
 to go to battle

00:25:49.880 --> 00:25:51.160
 for you and for me

00:25:51.160 --> 00:25:52.900
 there was no

00:25:52.900 --> 00:25:54.500
 faithful soldiers

00:25:54.500 --> 00:25:55.099
 around him

00:25:55.099 --> 00:25:56.099
 to sing their part.

00:25:56.099 --> 00:25:57.399
 it would have been

00:25:57.399 --> 00:25:58.500
 God the Holy Spirit

00:25:58.500 --> 00:25:59.719
 who would have

00:25:59.719 --> 00:26:00.679
 reassured Jesus

00:26:00.679 --> 00:26:02.659
 of God's faithfulness.

00:26:03.059 --> 00:26:03.740
 The Holy Spirit

00:26:03.740 --> 00:26:04.539
 would have reminded

00:26:04.539 --> 00:26:05.859
 Jesus of all

00:26:05.859 --> 00:26:06.759
 that God the Father

00:26:06.759 --> 00:26:08.019
 promised he would

00:26:08.019 --> 00:26:08.639
 do for him

00:26:08.639 --> 00:26:09.859
 his anointed king.

00:26:12.500 --> 00:26:13.539
 Brothers and sisters

00:26:13.539 --> 00:26:14.559
 please pray for me

00:26:14.559 --> 00:26:15.939
 as I proclaim

00:26:15.939 --> 00:26:16.679
 Jesus

00:26:16.679 --> 00:26:17.939
 God our Savior

00:26:17.939 --> 00:26:19.179
 to whoever

00:26:19.179 --> 00:26:20.159
 has an ear to hear

00:26:20.159 --> 00:26:22.159
 may he be magnified

00:26:22.159 --> 00:26:22.899
 in his power

00:26:22.900 --> 00:26:24.540
 as we hold him up

00:26:24.540 --> 00:26:25.280
 crucified

00:26:25.280 --> 00:26:27.380
 for all who will

00:26:27.380 --> 00:26:28.040
 come to him

00:26:28.040 --> 00:26:31.340
 according to his

00:26:31.340 --> 00:26:32.220
 divine nature

00:26:32.220 --> 00:26:33.519
 being all knowing

00:26:33.519 --> 00:26:35.160
 our Lord Jesus Christ

00:26:35.160 --> 00:26:36.620
 knew he would have

00:26:36.620 --> 00:26:37.940
 a crown of thorns

00:26:37.940 --> 00:26:39.540
 pressed onto his head

00:26:39.540 --> 00:26:41.080
 in just a few hours.

00:26:42.340 --> 00:26:43.840
 Oh but the Holy Spirit

00:26:43.840 --> 00:26:44.680
 certainly would have

00:26:44.680 --> 00:26:45.560
 reminded Jesus

00:26:45.560 --> 00:26:47.380
 of the great truth

00:26:47.380 --> 00:26:48.100
 like we see in

00:26:48.100 --> 00:26:49.540
 Psalm 21 verse 3

00:26:49.539 --> 00:26:52.319
 Jesus God

00:26:52.319 --> 00:26:53.519
 will meet you

00:26:53.519 --> 00:26:54.399
 Messiah

00:26:54.399 --> 00:26:55.579
 with the blessings

00:26:55.579 --> 00:26:56.259
 of goodness

00:26:56.259 --> 00:26:57.539
 God will soon

00:26:57.539 --> 00:26:58.639
 set a crown

00:26:58.639 --> 00:27:00.000
 of pure gold

00:27:00.000 --> 00:27:01.200
 upon your head.

00:27:03.200 --> 00:27:04.119
 Think of when

00:27:04.119 --> 00:27:04.899
 Jesus turned to

00:27:04.899 --> 00:27:05.659
 his followers

00:27:05.659 --> 00:27:06.619
 and he reassured

00:27:06.619 --> 00:27:07.200
 of how good

00:27:07.200 --> 00:27:07.659
 the ministry

00:27:07.659 --> 00:27:08.700
 of the Spirit is.

00:27:08.960 --> 00:27:09.720
 He knew this

00:27:09.720 --> 00:27:10.259
 firsthand.

00:27:11.180 --> 00:27:12.220
 The Holy Spirit

00:27:12.220 --> 00:27:14.159
 is a good advocate.

00:27:15.119 --> 00:27:16.460
 He's your good counselor.

00:27:17.220 --> 00:27:18.720
 He's your faithful minister.

00:27:19.539 --> 00:27:20.159
 The Lord Jesus

00:27:20.159 --> 00:27:21.359
 received his ministry

00:27:21.359 --> 00:27:21.960
 personally

00:27:21.960 --> 00:27:24.460
 and it was in

00:27:24.460 --> 00:27:25.539
 the Garden of Gethsemane

00:27:25.539 --> 00:27:26.500
 where the Lord Jesus

00:27:26.500 --> 00:27:27.339
 agonized

00:27:27.339 --> 00:27:28.659
 so intensely

00:27:28.659 --> 00:27:29.480
 according to his

00:27:29.480 --> 00:27:30.099
 human nature

00:27:30.099 --> 00:27:32.159
 and surely

00:27:32.159 --> 00:27:33.039
 Christ's knowledge

00:27:33.039 --> 00:27:34.460
 of Psalm 21

00:27:34.460 --> 00:27:35.680
 verses 8 and 9

00:27:35.680 --> 00:27:36.960
 added

00:27:36.960 --> 00:27:38.240
 and multiplied

00:27:38.240 --> 00:27:39.460
 this agony.

00:27:40.180 --> 00:27:41.059
 Look at verse 8.

00:27:42.619 --> 00:27:43.339
 Think of this

00:27:43.339 --> 00:27:44.519
 as Jesus would

00:27:44.519 --> 00:27:45.639
 pray it in Gethsemane.

00:27:46.319 --> 00:27:47.200
 Oh God

00:27:47.200 --> 00:27:48.000
 on their own

00:27:48.000 --> 00:27:48.539
 my people

00:27:48.539 --> 00:27:49.619
 can only hate you

00:27:49.619 --> 00:27:50.819
 so I must

00:27:50.819 --> 00:27:51.519
 put myself

00:27:51.519 --> 00:27:53.019
 in the place

00:27:53.019 --> 00:27:54.220
 of your enemies.

00:27:55.839 --> 00:27:57.259
 I must put myself

00:27:57.259 --> 00:27:57.940
 in the place

00:27:57.940 --> 00:27:58.839
 of those

00:27:58.839 --> 00:27:59.519
 I will purchase

00:27:59.519 --> 00:28:00.380
 with my blood.

00:28:01.400 --> 00:28:03.339
 God's mighty hand

00:28:03.339 --> 00:28:04.099
 must first

00:28:04.099 --> 00:28:05.319
 come against me

00:28:05.319 --> 00:28:06.339
 instead of them.

00:28:07.339 --> 00:28:08.420
 I must become

00:28:08.420 --> 00:28:09.099
 the substitute

00:28:09.099 --> 00:28:09.920
 for these

00:28:09.920 --> 00:28:12.619
 God's beloved enemies.

00:28:12.619 --> 00:28:14.579
 I must endure

00:28:14.579 --> 00:28:15.559
 the torturous

00:28:15.559 --> 00:28:16.239
 punishments

00:28:16.239 --> 00:28:17.059
 they deserve.

00:28:17.839 --> 00:28:19.059
 God's all powerful

00:28:19.059 --> 00:28:20.179
 right hand

00:28:20.179 --> 00:28:21.139
 must crush

00:28:21.139 --> 00:28:22.500
 and slay me

00:28:22.500 --> 00:28:23.579
 instead of them.

00:28:23.579 --> 00:28:28.199
 how fierce

00:28:28.199 --> 00:28:29.079
 the anger

00:28:29.079 --> 00:28:30.099
 of the holy

00:28:30.099 --> 00:28:30.500
 God

00:28:30.500 --> 00:28:31.679
 against the sins

00:28:31.679 --> 00:28:32.699
 of his creatures.

00:28:34.240 --> 00:28:34.619
 Surely

00:28:34.619 --> 00:28:35.059
 that's why

00:28:35.059 --> 00:28:36.059
 Jesus in the garden

00:28:36.059 --> 00:28:36.939
 prayed in Luke

00:28:36.939 --> 00:28:37.879
 22 42

00:28:37.879 --> 00:28:38.359
 Father

00:28:38.359 --> 00:28:39.579
 if it is your will

00:28:39.579 --> 00:28:40.619
 take this cup

00:28:40.619 --> 00:28:41.460
 away from me

00:28:41.460 --> 00:28:42.319
 nevertheless

00:28:42.319 --> 00:28:43.599
 not my will

00:28:43.599 --> 00:28:44.439
 but yours

00:28:44.439 --> 00:28:45.019
 be done.

00:28:46.799 --> 00:28:47.740
 And that's what

00:28:47.740 --> 00:28:48.359
 our Lord Jesus

00:28:48.359 --> 00:28:49.179
 Christ did

00:28:49.180 --> 00:28:50.940
 as the old hymn

00:28:50.940 --> 00:28:51.519
 puts it

00:28:51.519 --> 00:28:52.299
 death

00:28:52.299 --> 00:28:53.660
 and the curse

00:28:53.660 --> 00:28:55.340
 were in our cup

00:28:55.340 --> 00:28:57.180
 O Christ

00:28:57.180 --> 00:28:58.140
 t'was full

00:28:58.140 --> 00:28:58.720
 for thee

00:28:58.720 --> 00:29:00.160
 but thou hast

00:29:00.160 --> 00:29:00.860
 drained

00:29:00.860 --> 00:29:01.980
 the last

00:29:01.980 --> 00:29:03.180
 dark drop

00:29:03.180 --> 00:29:04.320
 tis empty

00:29:04.320 --> 00:29:05.500
 now for me

00:29:05.500 --> 00:29:07.140
 that bitter cup

00:29:07.140 --> 00:29:08.039
 love

00:29:08.039 --> 00:29:09.120
 drink it down

00:29:09.120 --> 00:29:10.580
 now blessings

00:29:10.580 --> 00:29:11.420
 draft

00:29:11.420 --> 00:29:12.279
 for me.

00:29:13.500 --> 00:29:14.799
 Think of how much

00:29:14.799 --> 00:29:15.480
 weight

00:29:15.480 --> 00:29:16.299
 of sin

00:29:16.299 --> 00:29:17.380
 our Savior bore

00:29:17.380 --> 00:29:18.800
 all the worst

00:29:18.800 --> 00:29:19.540
 sins that you

00:29:19.540 --> 00:29:19.920
 and I

00:29:19.920 --> 00:29:20.760
 have committed

00:29:20.760 --> 00:29:21.560
 against him

00:29:21.560 --> 00:29:22.640
 plus

00:29:22.640 --> 00:29:23.520
 all of the

00:29:23.520 --> 00:29:24.360
 vilest deeds

00:29:24.360 --> 00:29:25.600
 of all those

00:29:25.600 --> 00:29:26.360
 who are his

00:29:26.360 --> 00:29:27.440
 from every single

00:29:27.440 --> 00:29:28.360
 generation.

00:29:29.600 --> 00:29:30.480
 Think of the

00:29:30.480 --> 00:29:31.080
 weight of that

00:29:31.080 --> 00:29:33.360
 like

00:29:33.360 --> 00:29:34.560
 a hundred thousand

00:29:34.560 --> 00:29:35.740
 tons of gross

00:29:35.740 --> 00:29:37.340
 concentrated evil

00:29:37.340 --> 00:29:38.300
 all of that

00:29:38.300 --> 00:29:39.480
 dropped

00:29:39.480 --> 00:29:40.360
 on his

00:29:40.360 --> 00:29:40.820
 holy

00:29:40.820 --> 00:29:41.860
 undefiled

00:29:41.860 --> 00:29:42.700
 body

00:29:42.700 --> 00:29:44.160
 and under

00:29:44.160 --> 00:29:44.760
 that weight

00:29:44.760 --> 00:29:46.160
 our Lord Jesus

00:29:46.160 --> 00:29:46.760
 labored

00:29:46.759 --> 00:29:47.680
 to breathe

00:29:47.680 --> 00:29:49.440
 and he knew

00:29:49.440 --> 00:29:50.500
 like Psalm 21

00:29:50.500 --> 00:29:51.240
 verse 9

00:29:51.240 --> 00:29:53.059
 my battle

00:29:53.059 --> 00:29:53.640
 on the mount

00:29:53.640 --> 00:29:54.299
 of the skull

00:29:54.299 --> 00:29:55.079
 will be the time

00:29:55.079 --> 00:29:55.980
 of God's anger

00:29:55.980 --> 00:29:57.079
 against the sins

00:29:57.079 --> 00:29:57.859
 of my people

00:29:57.859 --> 00:29:59.000
 in order to save

00:29:59.000 --> 00:29:59.319
 them

00:29:59.319 --> 00:30:00.519
 God must first

00:30:00.519 --> 00:30:01.180
 make me

00:30:01.180 --> 00:30:02.400
 a fiery oven

00:30:02.400 --> 00:30:03.920
 to save my beloved

00:30:03.920 --> 00:30:05.039
 God's wrath

00:30:05.039 --> 00:30:06.400
 must swallow up

00:30:06.400 --> 00:30:07.400
 my flesh

00:30:07.400 --> 00:30:08.099
 first

00:30:08.099 --> 00:30:09.180
 the fire

00:30:09.180 --> 00:30:10.200
 of God's justice

00:30:10.200 --> 00:30:11.319
 must devour

00:30:11.319 --> 00:30:11.740
 me

00:30:11.740 --> 00:30:12.920
 to pay for the

00:30:12.920 --> 00:30:13.299
 sins

00:30:13.299 --> 00:30:14.480
 of my church

00:30:14.480 --> 00:30:16.920
 this is what

00:30:16.920 --> 00:30:17.660
 our Lord Jesus

00:30:17.660 --> 00:30:18.779
 underwent

00:30:18.779 --> 00:30:20.259
 to redeem

00:30:20.259 --> 00:30:20.920
 his people

00:30:20.920 --> 00:30:26.299
 in just a few

00:30:26.299 --> 00:30:26.680
 moments

00:30:26.680 --> 00:30:27.279
 after praying

00:30:27.279 --> 00:30:27.799
 in the garden

00:30:27.799 --> 00:30:28.579
 God the son

00:30:28.579 --> 00:30:29.779
 would drag

00:30:29.779 --> 00:30:30.480
 his cross

00:30:30.480 --> 00:30:32.059
 up Calvary's hill

00:30:32.059 --> 00:30:33.819
 and he would

00:30:33.819 --> 00:30:34.660
 be nailed to it

00:30:34.660 --> 00:30:35.660
 and he would

00:30:35.660 --> 00:30:36.460
 be lifted up

00:30:36.460 --> 00:30:38.259
 silent

00:30:38.259 --> 00:30:39.779
 bleeding

00:30:39.779 --> 00:30:42.200
 the lamb

00:30:42.200 --> 00:30:42.960
 of God

00:30:42.960 --> 00:30:43.539
 foretold

00:30:43.539 --> 00:30:44.000
 of old

00:30:44.000 --> 00:30:45.279
 the pure

00:30:45.279 --> 00:30:46.019
 sacrifice

00:30:46.019 --> 00:30:46.859
 required by

00:30:46.859 --> 00:30:47.420
 the just

00:30:47.420 --> 00:30:47.980
 creator

00:30:47.980 --> 00:30:49.399
 the giver

00:30:49.399 --> 00:30:50.019
 of life

00:30:50.019 --> 00:30:51.099
 would die

00:30:51.099 --> 00:30:54.160
 oh but

00:30:54.160 --> 00:30:54.680
 Christ could

00:30:54.680 --> 00:30:55.559
 preach to himself

00:30:55.559 --> 00:30:56.420
 even as he hung

00:30:56.420 --> 00:30:57.059
 on the cross

00:30:57.059 --> 00:30:58.660
 like Psalm 21

00:30:58.660 --> 00:30:59.319
 verse 4

00:30:59.319 --> 00:31:00.440
 verse 4

00:31:00.440 --> 00:31:02.960
 this king

00:31:02.960 --> 00:31:04.279
 promised by God

00:31:04.279 --> 00:31:05.119
 from long ago

00:31:05.119 --> 00:31:06.879
 asks God

00:31:06.880 --> 00:31:07.660
 for life

00:31:07.660 --> 00:31:09.100
 and God

00:31:09.100 --> 00:31:10.000
 gives it to him

00:31:10.000 --> 00:31:11.820
 length of days

00:31:11.820 --> 00:31:12.680
 forever and ever

00:31:12.680 --> 00:31:13.680
 because soon

00:31:13.680 --> 00:31:14.440
 our Lord Jesus

00:31:14.440 --> 00:31:15.780
 though now he's

00:31:15.780 --> 00:31:16.620
 lifted up as a

00:31:16.620 --> 00:31:17.140
 spectacle

00:31:17.140 --> 00:31:18.120
 a failure

00:31:18.120 --> 00:31:18.860
 a shame

00:31:18.860 --> 00:31:19.800
 and disgrace

00:31:19.800 --> 00:31:20.740
 despised

00:31:20.740 --> 00:31:21.540
 rejected

00:31:21.540 --> 00:31:22.100
 abandoned

00:31:22.100 --> 00:31:22.820
 mocked

00:31:22.820 --> 00:31:23.520
 forsaken

00:31:23.520 --> 00:31:24.320
 soon

00:31:24.320 --> 00:31:25.620
 he could preach

00:31:25.620 --> 00:31:26.040
 to himself

00:31:26.040 --> 00:31:26.640
 verse 5

00:31:26.640 --> 00:31:27.580
 his glory

00:31:27.580 --> 00:31:28.380
 will be great

00:31:28.380 --> 00:31:29.860
 in God's salvation

00:31:29.860 --> 00:31:30.860
 honor

00:31:30.860 --> 00:31:31.780
 and majesty

00:31:31.780 --> 00:31:32.980
 God will once again

00:31:32.980 --> 00:31:34.040
 place upon

00:31:34.040 --> 00:31:34.920
 Jesus Christ

00:31:34.920 --> 00:31:37.420
 and it was in the

00:31:37.420 --> 00:31:37.980
 garden where

00:31:37.980 --> 00:31:38.680
 our Lord Jesus

00:31:38.680 --> 00:31:39.680
 Christ could find

00:31:39.680 --> 00:31:40.519
 that strength

00:31:40.519 --> 00:31:41.720
 by the ministry

00:31:41.720 --> 00:31:42.700
 of the Holy Spirit

00:31:42.700 --> 00:31:43.740
 to endure

00:31:43.740 --> 00:31:44.900
 this torturous

00:31:44.900 --> 00:31:45.640
 cross

00:31:45.640 --> 00:31:48.180
 he could trust

00:31:48.180 --> 00:31:48.740
 that he

00:31:48.740 --> 00:31:49.460
 the Messiah

00:31:49.460 --> 00:31:50.800
 shall have

00:31:50.800 --> 00:31:51.480
 joy

00:31:51.480 --> 00:31:52.920
 in God's

00:31:52.920 --> 00:31:53.620
 strength

00:31:53.620 --> 00:31:54.080
 oh Lord

00:31:54.080 --> 00:31:55.160
 and in God's

00:31:55.160 --> 00:31:55.660
 salvation

00:31:55.660 --> 00:31:56.900
 he will

00:31:56.900 --> 00:31:57.720
 again

00:31:57.720 --> 00:31:58.440
 greatly

00:31:58.440 --> 00:31:59.279
 rejoice

00:31:59.279 --> 00:32:02.680
 God the Holy Spirit

00:32:02.680 --> 00:32:03.620
 reminded Jesus

00:32:03.619 --> 00:32:04.479
 of the joy

00:32:04.479 --> 00:32:05.799
 set before him

00:32:05.799 --> 00:32:07.439
 and empowered

00:32:07.439 --> 00:32:09.719
 by the Holy Spirit

00:32:09.719 --> 00:32:11.099
 Jesus set his face

00:32:11.099 --> 00:32:11.939
 like flint

00:32:11.939 --> 00:32:13.259
 and he went

00:32:13.259 --> 00:32:14.199
 to fight the battle

00:32:14.199 --> 00:32:17.039
 Hebrews 12

00:32:17.039 --> 00:32:17.619
 2 says

00:32:17.619 --> 00:32:18.599
 that Jesus Christ

00:32:18.599 --> 00:32:19.219
 the author

00:32:19.219 --> 00:32:20.039
 and finisher

00:32:20.039 --> 00:32:20.979
 of our faith

00:32:20.979 --> 00:32:22.419
 for the joy

00:32:22.419 --> 00:32:23.319
 that was set

00:32:23.319 --> 00:32:24.139
 before him

00:32:24.139 --> 00:32:25.539
 endured the cross

00:32:25.539 --> 00:32:26.719
 despising

00:32:26.719 --> 00:32:27.759
 the shame

00:32:27.759 --> 00:32:30.299
 and he was

00:32:30.299 --> 00:32:31.019
 risen

00:32:31.019 --> 00:32:32.399
 and glorified

00:32:32.400 --> 00:32:35.259
 seated at

00:32:35.259 --> 00:32:36.259
 God's right hand

00:32:36.259 --> 00:32:37.740
 having accomplished

00:32:37.740 --> 00:32:38.820
 his mission

00:32:38.820 --> 00:32:40.000
 having won

00:32:40.000 --> 00:32:40.820
 the victory

00:32:40.820 --> 00:32:42.759
 so that he

00:32:42.759 --> 00:32:43.420
 could share

00:32:43.420 --> 00:32:44.120
 his great

00:32:44.120 --> 00:32:45.060
 rejoicing

00:32:45.060 --> 00:32:46.360
 with you

00:32:46.360 --> 00:32:47.720
 that he purchased

00:32:47.720 --> 00:32:48.600
 with his own

00:32:48.600 --> 00:32:49.240
 blood

00:32:49.240 --> 00:32:50.759
 so that you

00:32:50.759 --> 00:32:51.240
 could sing

00:32:51.240 --> 00:32:52.100
 of God's praise

00:32:52.100 --> 00:32:53.180
 you could sing

00:32:53.180 --> 00:32:53.800

00:32:58.320 --> 00:32:59.100
 well how do I

00:32:59.100 --> 00:32:59.560
 know whether

00:32:59.560 --> 00:32:59.980
 I'm one

00:32:59.980 --> 00:33:00.400
 that he

00:33:00.400 --> 00:33:01.180
 saved

00:33:01.180 --> 00:33:01.980
 that he

00:33:01.980 --> 00:33:02.400
 purchased

00:33:02.400 --> 00:33:02.860
 with his

00:33:02.860 --> 00:33:03.120
 blood

00:33:03.120 --> 00:33:03.780
 how do I

00:33:03.780 --> 00:33:04.100
 know

00:33:04.100 --> 00:33:06.320
 come to

00:33:10.540 --> 00:33:11.240
 freely

00:33:11.240 --> 00:33:12.240
 for you

00:33:12.240 --> 00:33:14.080

00:33:14.560 --> 00:33:14.940
 Jesus

00:33:14.940 --> 00:33:15.980
 it's because

00:33:15.980 --> 00:33:16.560
 his spirit

00:33:16.560 --> 00:33:17.160
 is drawing

00:33:19.259 --> 00:33:19.759
 you to him

00:33:19.759 --> 00:33:20.519
 because you

00:33:20.519 --> 00:33:21.440
 belong to him

00:33:21.440 --> 00:33:23.740

00:33:23.740 --> 00:33:24.360
 good shepherd

00:33:24.360 --> 00:33:25.120
 and his sheep

00:33:25.120 --> 00:33:26.259
 know his voice

00:33:26.259 --> 00:33:27.720
 the good shepherd

00:33:27.720 --> 00:33:28.700
 calls his sheep

00:33:28.700 --> 00:33:29.420
 by name

00:33:29.420 --> 00:33:30.660
 and they

00:33:30.660 --> 00:33:32.100
 come to him

00:33:32.100 --> 00:33:32.880
 and they

00:33:32.880 --> 00:33:33.680
 follow him

00:33:33.680 --> 00:33:35.860

00:33:43.360 --> 00:33:44.240
 singing alone

00:33:44.240 --> 00:33:46.200
 but it ends

00:33:46.200 --> 00:33:47.480
 with all those

00:33:47.480 --> 00:33:48.200

00:33:48.200 --> 00:33:48.640
