00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.020
 Church program here which tells you who's going to be speaking throughout July and August,

00:00:07.179 --> 00:00:12.820
 but Tom is speaking today and the very last one I think as well, isn't that right Tom, the end of August.

00:00:13.660 --> 00:00:16.800
 So do please be praying for all those who will be preaching.

00:00:17.519 --> 00:00:21.660
 Some don't do it regularly and so it's a little bit more daunting.

00:00:22.219 --> 00:00:28.480
 So pray for them in their preparation that God would not only speak to them but speak to us as a church.

00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:32.179
 So 2 Thessalonians chapter 1 verses 1 to 12.

00:00:32.579 --> 00:00:37.980
 Let's hear God speak to us as we hear his word.

00:00:40.659 --> 00:00:43.280
 Paul, Silas and Timothy.

00:00:44.439 --> 00:00:49.200
 To the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

00:00:49.400 --> 00:00:54.439
 Grace and peace to you from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

00:00:54.439 --> 00:01:00.500
 We ought always to thank God for you, brothers and sisters, and rightly so,

00:01:01.059 --> 00:01:08.159
 because your faith is growing more and more and the love every one of you has for each other is increasing.

00:01:09.179 --> 00:01:17.359
 Therefore, among God's churches we boast about your perseverance and faith in all the persecutions and trials you are enduring.

00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:28.819
 All this is evidence that God's judgment is right and as a result you will be counted worthy of the kingdom of God for which you are suffering.

00:01:29.980 --> 00:01:31.500
 God is just.

00:01:33.140 --> 00:01:42.079
 He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you and give relief to you who are troubled and to us as well.

00:01:42.079 --> 00:02:12.060
 God is just.

00:02:12.219 --> 00:02:23.360
 This includes you because you believed our testimony to you.

00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:31.340
 With this in mind, we constantly pray for you that our God may count you worthy of his calling

00:02:31.340 --> 00:02:39.320
 and that by his power he may fulfil every good purpose of yours and every act prompted by your faith.

00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:48.199
 we pray this so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you and you in him

00:02:48.199 --> 00:02:52.819
 according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:57.359
 Tom, you want to come and speak?

00:03:00.259 --> 00:03:01.939
 Can I pray for you first?

00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:05.439
 It's always a delight and an encouragement to have Tom.

00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:06.680
 Many of you know Tom.

00:03:07.939 --> 00:03:09.259
 Let's pray for him.

00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:10.620
 And for us now.

00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:14.019
 Father, we thank you for your people.

00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:17.379
 We thank you for the gift that you give to us.

00:03:17.959 --> 00:03:19.439
 We thank you for Tom.

00:03:19.939 --> 00:03:23.419
 And we thank you for his understanding of your word.

00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:29.900
 And we ask now that you would fill him afresh and us with your Holy Spirit.

00:03:30.819 --> 00:03:34.500
 Please help him to speak your word carefully and clearly.

00:03:34.500 --> 00:03:46.020
 And we pray for us ourselves that we would not only understand with our heads and our minds, but that our hearts and our lives would be changed and transformed.

00:03:46.020 --> 00:03:54.460
 And that we would be counted worthy of your people and of the kingdom that is to come.

00:03:55.460 --> 00:03:57.580
 We pray this in Jesus' name.

00:03:57.580 --> 00:03:58.700
 Amen.

00:03:58.699 --> 00:04:03.819
 I just want to have to take some p

00:04:03.819 --> 00:04:06.739
 And thank you for your point.

00:04:06.739 --> 00:04:07.319
 Take it.

00:04:07.319 --> 00:04:09.019
 I am sure you can't open it.

00:04:09.019 --> 00:04:10.799
 I am sure you don't have to take any signs.

00:04:10.799 --> 00:04:11.780
 Come on.

00:04:11.780 --> 00:04:12.699
 I am sure you don't have to take any signs.

00:04:12.699 --> 00:04:14.699
 Justice.

00:04:14.699 --> 00:04:16.699
 Justice.

00:04:36.699 --> 00:04:37.379
 Justice.

00:04:39.379 --> 00:04:41.000
 Is there any in the world?

00:04:42.699 --> 00:04:47.699
 I was a stickler for people who cheated.

00:04:47.699 --> 00:04:49.699
 I hated injustice.

00:04:49.699 --> 00:04:53.699
 I hated when things went against the rules.

00:04:53.699 --> 00:04:56.699
 Johnny mentioned the World Cup.

00:04:56.699 --> 00:04:57.699
 It's nearly over.

00:04:57.699 --> 00:05:01.699
 But for some, it might drag up old memories of injustice.

00:05:01.699 --> 00:05:03.699
 Five years ago.

00:05:03.699 --> 00:05:06.699
 Thierry Henry.

00:05:06.699 --> 00:05:09.699
 But now it just becomes a joke.

00:05:09.699 --> 00:05:15.699
 We were watching the BBC coverage of one of the matches and they were reviewing a handball in the box.

00:05:15.699 --> 00:05:19.699
 Thierry Henry said, no, not a penalty.

00:05:19.699 --> 00:05:20.699
 His arm was there.

00:05:20.699 --> 00:05:25.699
 Gary Lineker says, have you ever got away with a handball, Thierry?

00:05:25.699 --> 00:05:26.699
 No, never.

00:05:26.699 --> 00:05:28.699
 It's just a joke.

00:05:28.699 --> 00:05:29.699
 Injustice.

00:05:29.699 --> 00:05:31.699
 Luis Suarez.

00:05:31.699 --> 00:05:33.699
 On the pitch.

00:05:33.699 --> 00:05:35.699
 Bite another player.

00:05:36.699 --> 00:05:38.699
 On the pitch, nothing happens.

00:05:38.699 --> 00:05:40.699
 But yet severely punished.

00:05:40.699 --> 00:05:42.699
 Justice was done.

00:05:42.699 --> 00:05:46.699
 And a large part of this passage is dealing with God's justice.

00:05:46.699 --> 00:05:49.699
 Ultimate justice in the world.

00:05:49.699 --> 00:05:52.699
 Is God fair?

00:05:52.699 --> 00:05:55.699
 Will he deal fairly with what happens in the world?

00:05:55.699 --> 00:05:58.699
 Will people get away with their wrongdoing?

00:05:59.699 --> 00:06:04.699
 So we need to remember the context that Paul is writing to in 2 Thessalonians.

00:06:04.699 --> 00:06:07.699
 Why is Paul writing to these people?

00:06:07.699 --> 00:06:08.699
 It's a letter.

00:06:08.699 --> 00:06:10.699
 Like we might receive a letter today.

00:06:10.699 --> 00:06:15.699
 And there was a teaching that was coming from other people.

00:06:15.699 --> 00:06:16.699
 Not from Paul.

00:06:16.699 --> 00:06:20.699
 About when the Lord Jesus would return.

00:06:20.699 --> 00:06:22.699
 And people were getting unsettled.

00:06:22.699 --> 00:06:23.699
 Flick into chapter 2.

00:06:23.699 --> 00:06:25.699
 It's just the next chapter.

00:06:25.699 --> 00:06:26.699
 Verses 1 and 2.

00:06:26.699 --> 00:06:29.699
 Look at the context of this passage.

00:06:29.699 --> 00:06:55.699
 So there was this teaching that this day of the Lord.

00:06:55.699 --> 00:06:58.699
 That Jesus' return had already come.

00:07:00.699 --> 00:07:02.699
 But yet the Thessalonians were still suffering.

00:07:04.699 --> 00:07:07.699
 So it's understandable why they might go to think.

00:07:08.699 --> 00:07:09.699
 Is God fair?

00:07:09.699 --> 00:07:11.699
 I thought he said the suffering was going to finish.

00:07:12.699 --> 00:07:14.699
 But Paul writes to reassure them.

00:07:14.699 --> 00:07:15.699
 And encourage them.

00:07:16.699 --> 00:07:18.699
 Amidst the suffering of persecution.

00:07:18.699 --> 00:07:21.699
 So we're going to quickly flick back to Acts chapter 19.

00:07:23.699 --> 00:07:24.699
 Verse 1 to 7.

00:07:24.699 --> 00:07:26.699
 So if you can flick back to Acts.

00:07:26.699 --> 00:07:28.699
 This will give us a foundation.

00:07:28.699 --> 00:07:31.699
 About the Thessalonian church.

00:07:31.699 --> 00:07:33.699
 This is when Paul was first there.

00:07:36.699 --> 00:07:38.699
 So Acts 19 verse 1 to 7.

00:07:46.699 --> 00:07:47.699
 Or maybe Acts 17.

00:07:47.699 --> 00:07:48.699
 Sorry, Acts 17.

00:07:48.699 --> 00:07:49.699
 Okay, so Acts 17.

00:07:49.699 --> 00:07:50.699
 Okay, so Acts 17.

00:07:50.699 --> 00:07:52.699
 Okay, so Acts 17.

00:07:52.699 --> 00:08:04.699
 When Paul and his companions had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue.

00:08:04.699 --> 00:08:16.699
 As was his custom, Paul went into the synagogue, and on three Sabbath days he reasoned with them from the scriptures, explaining and proving that the Messiah had to suffer and rise from the dead.

00:08:16.699 --> 00:08:18.699
 And then he said,

00:08:18.699 --> 00:08:20.699
 This Jesus I am proclaiming to you is the Messiah, he said.

00:08:20.699 --> 00:08:30.699
 Some of the Jews were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas, as did a large number of God-fearing Greeks and quite a few prominent women.

00:08:30.699 --> 00:08:32.700
 But other Jews were jealous.

00:08:32.700 --> 00:08:38.700
 So they rounded up some bad characters from the marketplace, formed a mob, and started a riot in the city.

00:08:38.700 --> 00:08:44.700
 They rushed to Jason's house in search of Paul and Silas, in order to bring them out to the crowd.

00:08:44.700 --> 00:08:51.700
 But when they did not find them, they dragged Jason and some other believers before the city officials, shouting,

00:08:51.700 --> 00:08:59.700
 These men who have caused trouble all over the world have now come here, and Jason has welcomed them into his house.

00:08:59.700 --> 00:09:05.700
 They are all defying Caesar's decrees, saying that there is another king, one called Jesus.

00:09:05.700 --> 00:09:10.700
 When they heard this, the crowd and the city officials were thrown into turmoil.

00:09:10.700 --> 00:09:14.700
 Then they made Jason and the others postpone and let them go.

00:09:14.700 --> 00:09:21.700
 So we can see the gospel at work in this place called Thessalonica, a bit of a tongue twister.

00:09:21.700 --> 00:09:26.700
 But there was persecution that they were facing from those around them.

00:09:26.700 --> 00:09:30.700
 So this letter, firstly, is a greeting from God's workers.

00:09:30.700 --> 00:09:32.700
 Look in verse 1 and 2.

00:09:32.700 --> 00:09:34.700
 Paul, Silas and Timothy.

00:09:34.700 --> 00:09:40.700
 As was Paul's custom, he opened his letter to the Thessalonian church with a greeting.

00:09:40.700 --> 00:09:45.700
 The three, his team, that were in Thessalonica when they first heard the gospel.

00:09:45.700 --> 00:09:49.700
 He is now writing to them again, now that he is not with them.

00:09:49.700 --> 00:09:56.700
 To the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

00:09:56.700 --> 00:10:02.700
 He addresses them as the church in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

00:10:02.700 --> 00:10:08.700
 They are a group of people brought together and united by God and by the work of Jesus.

00:10:08.700 --> 00:10:10.700
 They are not a social club.

00:10:10.700 --> 00:10:12.700
 This isn't a political party.

00:10:12.700 --> 00:10:17.700
 It is a group of people brought together by the one and only God.

00:10:17.700 --> 00:10:20.700
 And he gives to Jesus his full title.

00:10:20.700 --> 00:10:23.700
 Lord Jesus Christ.

00:10:23.700 --> 00:10:26.700
 Which reminds us of all that we have in him.

00:10:26.700 --> 00:10:28.700
 Lord and God over all.

00:10:28.700 --> 00:10:31.700
 The man who died on a cross.

00:10:31.700 --> 00:10:35.700
 Who is the promised saving king who rose again.

00:10:35.700 --> 00:10:40.700
 We could spend this whole time just looking at this one verse.

00:10:40.700 --> 00:10:46.700
 But Paul wishes the great, in the greeting, he wishes the church grace and peace.

00:10:46.700 --> 00:10:50.700
 Again from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

00:10:50.700 --> 00:10:54.700
 He repeats the phrase, grace and peace.

00:10:54.700 --> 00:10:59.700
 It is only by grace that these people are saved and brought together.

00:10:59.700 --> 00:11:01.700
 And the result is peace.

00:11:01.700 --> 00:11:05.700
 And these things are from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

00:11:05.700 --> 00:11:09.700
 Paul is making very clear that these gifts are from them.

00:11:09.700 --> 00:11:15.700
 And the Lord wants his church to have his grace and his peace and to experience that.

00:11:15.700 --> 00:11:16.700
 And that is for us today.

00:11:16.700 --> 00:11:19.700
 Not just in Thessalonica, but today.

00:11:19.700 --> 00:11:22.700
 So that is the initial greeting.

00:11:22.700 --> 00:11:25.700
 So Paul goes on in verses 3 to 4.

00:11:25.700 --> 00:11:28.700
 In giving thanks for God's work.

00:11:28.700 --> 00:11:32.700
 Here we have Paul seeing the need to give thanks for God's work.

00:11:32.700 --> 00:11:34.700
 Which was an answer to prayer.

00:11:34.700 --> 00:11:35.700
 What does it say?

00:11:35.700 --> 00:11:37.700
 We ought always to thank God for you brothers and sisters.

00:11:37.700 --> 00:11:38.700
 And rightly so.

00:11:38.700 --> 00:11:41.700
 Because your faith is growing more and more.

00:11:41.700 --> 00:11:44.700
 And the love all of you have for one another is increasing.

00:11:44.700 --> 00:11:50.700
 Flick back to 1 Thessalonians 3.

00:11:50.700 --> 00:11:53.700
 Which was a former letter that Paul wrote to the same church.

00:11:53.700 --> 00:11:57.700
 And look at verse 10.

00:11:57.700 --> 00:12:00.700
 This is Paul speaking again.

00:12:00.700 --> 00:12:08.700
 Night and day we pray most earnestly that we may see you again and supply what is lacking in your faith.

00:12:08.700 --> 00:12:09.700
 Verse 12.

00:12:09.700 --> 00:12:15.700
 May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else.

00:12:15.700 --> 00:12:17.700
 Just as ours does for you.

00:12:18.700 --> 00:12:21.700
 So their faith is growing more and more.

00:12:21.700 --> 00:12:24.700
 And their love for one another is increasing.

00:12:24.700 --> 00:12:28.700
 And Paul seeks the need to give thanks for this answered prayer.

00:12:28.700 --> 00:12:31.700
 He prayed for them.

00:12:31.700 --> 00:12:34.700
 And he's seen the fruit of this prayer.

00:12:34.700 --> 00:12:37.700
 And he's so thankful to God for us.

00:12:37.700 --> 00:12:40.700
 And we too need to be thankful people.

00:12:40.700 --> 00:12:44.700
 Now, as I was brought up, as you may know Ross and Joy,

00:12:44.700 --> 00:12:47.700
 I was always taught to say thank you.

00:12:47.700 --> 00:12:49.700
 After everything that I did, I had to say thank you.

00:12:49.700 --> 00:12:50.700
 It's a great thing to do.

00:12:50.700 --> 00:12:51.700
 It's a great habit to have.

00:12:51.700 --> 00:12:53.700
 I would finish gymnastics.

00:12:53.700 --> 00:12:55.700
 I have to say thank you to my coach.

00:12:55.700 --> 00:12:56.700
 I leave my friend's house.

00:12:56.700 --> 00:12:58.700
 I have to say thank you for having me.

00:12:58.700 --> 00:13:00.700
 I have nice spaghetti bolognese.

00:13:00.700 --> 00:13:01.700
 Guess what?

00:13:01.700 --> 00:13:03.700
 I have to say thank you.

00:13:03.700 --> 00:13:06.700
 So this is a great attitude to have.

00:13:06.700 --> 00:13:09.700
 But I suggest it's not exactly the same with God.

00:13:09.700 --> 00:13:11.700
 But that it goes much deeper.

00:13:11.700 --> 00:13:15.700
 I could say thank you, even if Ross's spaghetti wasn't very nice.

00:13:15.700 --> 00:13:18.700
 Or even if I had a rubbish time at gymnastics.

00:13:18.700 --> 00:13:22.700
 But with God, we need to be people with hearts of thanks.

00:13:22.700 --> 00:13:26.700
 We need to be thankful, always thankful for what he's done.

00:13:26.700 --> 00:13:33.700
 Not necessarily having to pray the words thank you after each blessing or after each good thing in our lives.

00:13:33.700 --> 00:13:39.700
 But we need to have hearts that are thankfully aware of God's good blessings and gifts.

00:13:39.700 --> 00:13:47.700
 So we see here Paul tells us about two vital aspects of the lives of the Thessalonians.

00:13:47.700 --> 00:13:51.700
 Their faith in God and their love for each other.

00:13:51.700 --> 00:13:54.700
 These are the things he's giving thanks for.

00:13:54.700 --> 00:13:57.700
 So relationships aren't static things.

00:13:57.700 --> 00:14:03.700
 It's true that we can say we're in a relationship with someone or we're not.

00:14:03.700 --> 00:14:08.700
 We might say I'm in love with someone or I'm not in love.

00:14:08.700 --> 00:14:12.700
 But Paul highlights the growing nature of Christian relationships.

00:14:12.700 --> 00:14:14.700
 So firstly with God.

00:14:14.700 --> 00:14:17.700
 Faith in God needs to be growing.

00:14:17.700 --> 00:14:24.700
 Yes, we can have faith or not have faith in God.

00:14:24.700 --> 00:14:29.700
 But it's not enough to simply have faith in that you have it or you don't.

00:14:29.700 --> 00:14:31.700
 It's a growing thing.

00:14:31.700 --> 00:14:37.700
 As some of you know, I got married nearly three years ago to the wonderful Grace.

00:14:37.700 --> 00:14:41.700
 But marriage isn't just about the ring on the finger.

00:14:41.700 --> 00:14:42.700
 I'm married now.

00:14:42.700 --> 00:14:43.700
 That's it.

00:14:43.700 --> 00:14:45.700
 It's not just about signing the legal piece of paper.

00:14:45.700 --> 00:14:46.700
 That's done.

00:14:46.700 --> 00:14:47.700
 Official.

00:14:47.700 --> 00:14:49.700
 Marriage.

00:14:49.700 --> 00:14:53.700
 It's a life of growing together.

00:14:53.700 --> 00:14:56.700
 In love for God and for each other.

00:14:56.700 --> 00:14:57.700
 It's not a static thing.

00:14:57.700 --> 00:14:58.700
 It's not a status.

00:14:58.700 --> 00:15:01.700
 But it's a growing relationship together.

00:15:01.700 --> 00:15:05.700
 And we need to be people who are growing in faith.

00:15:05.700 --> 00:15:08.700
 What a challenging thing.

00:15:08.700 --> 00:15:10.700
 Think about it in your own heads.

00:15:10.700 --> 00:15:16.700
 Where were you at with the Lord this time last year?

00:15:16.700 --> 00:15:19.700
 Maybe five years ago.

00:15:19.700 --> 00:15:24.700
 Maybe ten years ago in your walks with the Lord.

00:15:24.700 --> 00:15:29.700
 Did I grow exponentially in my faith in a few months?

00:15:29.700 --> 00:15:33.700
 And then just leveled off and was happy with that?

00:15:33.700 --> 00:15:38.700
 No, we need to be striving to grow in faith in our wonderful God.

00:15:38.700 --> 00:15:44.700
 We should never stop growing in faith until that day where faith is no longer needed.

00:15:44.700 --> 00:15:46.700
 And we'll be with the Lord forever.

00:15:46.700 --> 00:15:53.700
 And the second aspect that Paul is giving thanks for is that relationship with other people.

00:15:53.700 --> 00:15:56.700
 We need to be people who are growing in love for each other.

00:15:56.700 --> 00:16:03.700
 As fellow believers in Jesus, we need to love our brothers and sisters.

00:16:03.700 --> 00:16:05.700
 Which I'm sure we say we do.

00:16:05.700 --> 00:16:09.700
 And maybe sometimes it's in the sense that because we have to.

00:16:09.700 --> 00:16:12.700
 Or we love them because they're our family in the Lord.

00:16:12.700 --> 00:16:17.700
 Well, we need to be growing in our love for our brothers and sisters in Christ.

00:16:17.700 --> 00:16:21.700
 We need to love his people more and more.

00:16:21.700 --> 00:16:26.700
 Not just put up with people, but really love them in an increasing way.

00:16:26.700 --> 00:16:29.700
 Others people's needs have to come first.

00:16:29.700 --> 00:16:34.700
 This will get worked out in different ways, but it's a love that needs to be worked at.

00:16:34.700 --> 00:16:36.700
 Not just assumed.

00:16:36.700 --> 00:16:39.700
 Of course I love my church family.

00:16:39.700 --> 00:16:42.700
 Of course I love my Christian brothers and sisters.

00:16:42.700 --> 00:16:45.700
 But are you increasing in love for them?

00:16:45.700 --> 00:16:48.700
 Look in verse 4.

00:16:48.700 --> 00:16:56.700
 Among God's churches we boast about your perseverance and faith in all the persecutions and trials you're enduring.

00:16:56.700 --> 00:17:04.700
 So Paul tells us that through their perseverance and faith, in the face of persecution and trials,

00:17:04.700 --> 00:17:08.700
 they're serving as an example to other churches.

00:17:08.700 --> 00:17:13.700
 Paul and his team in fact boast about the church in Thessalonica in other churches,

00:17:13.700 --> 00:17:20.700
 as they put their faith and love into practice, despite the trouble that they are experiencing.

00:17:20.700 --> 00:17:25.700
 In our churches, are we serving as examples to others?

00:17:25.700 --> 00:17:33.700
 Not that we should boast about ourselves, but in Karagline.

00:17:33.700 --> 00:17:37.700
 Are you a church that we can boast about when we go back to Middleton?

00:17:37.700 --> 00:17:40.700
 Look at what they are doing for the Lord.

00:17:40.700 --> 00:17:47.700
 And can you here in Karagline boast about what we in Middleton are doing as we seek to serve the Lord there?

00:17:47.700 --> 00:17:53.700
 So we see Paul giving thanks for God's work in his church in these ways.

00:17:53.700 --> 00:17:58.700
 So the next thing Paul moves on to, and this is the big section of the chapter.

00:17:58.700 --> 00:18:03.700
 This is God's justice and the justice of his work.

00:18:03.700 --> 00:18:08.700
 And we can't look at it thoroughly, but we will try to address some of the issues.

00:18:08.700 --> 00:18:12.700
 So let's look at verse 5.

00:18:12.700 --> 00:18:23.700
 All this is evidence that God's judgment is right, and as a result you will be counted worthy of the kingdom of God for which you are suffering.

00:18:23.700 --> 00:18:37.700
 So the Thessalonians' faith, their growing love and perseverance in the midst of persecution is evidence, Paul says, that God's judgment is right.

00:18:37.700 --> 00:18:49.700
 God saw the situation they faced, the persecution, and his judgment was that the Thessalonian believers would be blessed even though they suffered.

00:18:49.700 --> 00:19:00.700
 God saw that they were doing what was right, and he gave them the grace to grow in faith and love and to persevere.

00:19:00.700 --> 00:19:02.700
 Look at the first part of verse 6.

00:19:02.700 --> 00:19:07.700
 Paul moves on to very, no messing about with Paul, very concise, very clear.

00:19:07.700 --> 00:19:13.700
 God is just.

00:19:13.700 --> 00:19:19.700
 God in his very nature is just in who he is and in all that he does.

00:19:19.700 --> 00:19:21.700
 What does just mean?

00:19:21.700 --> 00:19:25.700
 It's almost like you feel God is just, just what?

00:19:25.700 --> 00:19:29.700
 Maybe that's how we sometimes use the word in our culture today.

00:19:29.700 --> 00:19:32.700
 But it means it's right or fair.

00:19:32.700 --> 00:19:42.700
 It's an adjective that describes something that's based on or behaving according to what is morally right and fair.

00:19:42.700 --> 00:19:44.700
 So God is just.

00:19:44.700 --> 00:19:46.700
 He is right and fair.

00:19:46.700 --> 00:19:52.700
 So I'm going to try and ask a few questions as we look through these verses.

00:19:52.700 --> 00:19:59.700
 Okay, so is it fair that God's people suffer?

00:19:59.700 --> 00:20:05.700
 Look at verse 6.

00:20:05.700 --> 00:20:07.700
 God is just.

00:20:07.700 --> 00:20:11.700
 He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you.

00:20:11.700 --> 00:20:16.700
 God won't let the persecutions that these believers are facing go unnoticed.

00:20:16.700 --> 00:20:22.700
 He says he will repay those who are doing the persecuting.

00:20:22.700 --> 00:20:26.700
 Those who persecute God's people won't simply be let off the hook.

00:20:26.700 --> 00:20:31.700
 Their defiance of God will not be tolerated by him.

00:20:31.700 --> 00:20:36.700
 We hear stories of Christians around the world, don't we?

00:20:36.700 --> 00:20:39.700
 Suffering unimaginably for their faith.

00:20:39.700 --> 00:20:43.700
 How is that fair or just?

00:20:43.700 --> 00:20:49.700
 Well, Paul teaches us here that those injustices will not be left unpunished.

00:20:49.700 --> 00:20:58.700
 Those who persecute others, the unjust acts of people, will not simply be swept under the carpet and forgotten.

00:20:58.700 --> 00:21:03.700
 In fact, he goes on to say that those who are now suffering will be given relief.

00:21:03.700 --> 00:21:09.700
 What an encouragement to these people and to those who are facing persecution.

00:21:09.700 --> 00:21:12.700
 But how do we respond to persecution?

00:21:12.700 --> 00:21:18.700
 I certainly, myself, don't find myself in the sort of situations that the Thessalonians would have been facing.

00:21:18.700 --> 00:21:20.700
 Remember in Acts.

00:21:20.700 --> 00:21:24.700
 Jason was dragged in front of the courts.

00:21:24.700 --> 00:21:26.700
 Called to account.

00:21:26.700 --> 00:21:29.700
 Riots in the city.

00:21:29.700 --> 00:21:34.700
 I certainly don't face the struggles of Christians in Syria.

00:21:34.700 --> 00:21:36.700
 China.

00:21:36.700 --> 00:21:38.700
 North Korea.

00:21:38.700 --> 00:21:39.700
 You have been threatened.

00:21:39.700 --> 00:21:42.700
 Told you must convert to a different religion.

00:21:42.700 --> 00:21:45.700
 You must adhere to our rules.

00:21:45.700 --> 00:21:47.700
 Or face death.

00:21:47.700 --> 00:21:48.700
 Imprisoned.

00:21:48.700 --> 00:21:49.700
 Beaten.

00:21:49.700 --> 00:21:50.700
 Executed.

00:21:50.700 --> 00:21:56.700
 So for our brothers and sisters who are being persecuted like this for their faith,

00:21:56.700 --> 00:21:58.700
 we need to help.

00:21:58.700 --> 00:22:03.700
 The Lord commands us and tells us that we can help.

00:22:03.700 --> 00:22:07.700
 Look at Hebrews chapter 13.

00:22:07.700 --> 00:22:10.700
 Verse 3.

00:22:10.700 --> 00:22:16.700
 Continue to remember those in prison as if you were together with them in prison.

00:22:16.700 --> 00:22:22.700
 And those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering.

00:22:22.700 --> 00:22:28.700
 We need to be people of prayer for our persecuted brothers and sisters.

00:22:28.700 --> 00:22:32.700
 And not only of prayer, there's a way we can take action.

00:22:32.700 --> 00:22:36.700
 There are organizations we can write to.

00:22:36.700 --> 00:22:39.700
 We can advocate for people who are suffering.

00:22:39.700 --> 00:22:40.700
 And this is a challenge to me.

00:22:40.700 --> 00:22:42.700
 This isn't something I've thought about to do.

00:22:42.700 --> 00:22:49.700
 But we need to be the people who speak up for those who are being persecuted and suffering.

00:22:49.700 --> 00:22:53.700
 Okay, so that's our suffering brothers and sisters.

00:22:53.700 --> 00:22:54.700
 But are we persecuted?

00:22:54.700 --> 00:22:56.700
 Yes, I think at times we are.

00:22:56.700 --> 00:22:57.700
 I think it's different.

00:22:57.700 --> 00:23:00.700
 I think we suffer in our schools.

00:23:00.700 --> 00:23:02.700
 I think we suffer in our workplaces.

00:23:02.700 --> 00:23:05.700
 I think we suffer with our families and with our friends.

00:23:05.700 --> 00:23:08.700
 Because we choose to follow Jesus.

00:23:08.700 --> 00:23:12.700
 It's different, but we suffer.

00:23:12.700 --> 00:23:21.700
 And it's a relief for us to know that God will bring relief to all those who are suffering for Jesus.

00:23:21.700 --> 00:23:25.700
 So God will not let these injustices go unpunished.

00:23:27.700 --> 00:23:29.700
 But when will God demonstrate this justice?

00:23:29.700 --> 00:23:31.700
 This is the next question.

00:23:31.700 --> 00:23:34.700
 I started this morning with a question about justice.

00:23:34.700 --> 00:23:35.700
 Is God fair?

00:23:35.700 --> 00:23:39.700
 Well, God's word so far has told us that he is.

00:23:39.700 --> 00:23:42.700
 Those who are persecuting God's people will be punished.

00:23:42.700 --> 00:23:46.700
 And those who are being persecuted will be given relief.

00:23:46.700 --> 00:23:48.700
 That sounds, on the balance, fair.

00:23:51.700 --> 00:23:54.700
 Well, if we simply looked at the world from a purely human perspective,

00:23:54.700 --> 00:23:57.700
 we might begin to think that God is not fair.

00:23:58.700 --> 00:24:00.700
 That he's not just.

00:24:01.700 --> 00:24:03.700
 But what does God's word say?

00:24:03.700 --> 00:24:04.700
 That's what's important.

00:24:04.700 --> 00:24:05.700
 Not what we say.

00:24:05.700 --> 00:24:06.700
 Not what we see.

00:24:06.700 --> 00:24:08.700
 But what God's word says.

00:24:08.700 --> 00:24:09.700
 Look in verse 7.

00:24:09.700 --> 00:24:11.700
 The second part of verse 7.

00:24:11.700 --> 00:24:21.700
 This will happen when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven in blazing fire with his powerful angels.

00:24:22.700 --> 00:24:27.700
 He will punish those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.

00:24:28.700 --> 00:24:35.700
 They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might.

00:24:35.700 --> 00:24:38.700
 So when will all this happen?

00:24:38.700 --> 00:24:44.700
 Well, the truth is that he's already shown his justice in what Jesus has done.

00:24:45.700 --> 00:24:55.700
 But yet there is a day that is coming that his justice will be enacted against all those who have yet been unpunished.

00:24:55.700 --> 00:25:02.700
 We don't know the exact date or time of when God is going to write all things, bring about his kingdom of peace.

00:25:03.700 --> 00:25:06.700
 But we know that it will happen when Jesus returns.

00:25:07.700 --> 00:25:14.700
 When he returns, when Jesus is revealed, that will be the end of history.

00:25:14.700 --> 00:25:20.700
 As Christians, we believe that history of the world is linear.

00:25:21.700 --> 00:25:22.700
 It's a line.

00:25:22.700 --> 00:25:24.700
 It doesn't go in circles.

00:25:24.700 --> 00:25:28.700
 We don't get recreated every time and it goes on and on for all eternity.

00:25:29.700 --> 00:25:30.700
 God created.

00:25:31.700 --> 00:25:32.700
 Man sinned.

00:25:34.700 --> 00:25:35.700
 Jesus came to save us.

00:25:36.700 --> 00:25:38.700
 We're waiting for his return.

00:25:38.700 --> 00:25:43.700
 And with his return, the world as we know it will come to an end.

00:25:46.700 --> 00:25:49.700
 Revelation is a strange book in our context.

00:25:50.700 --> 00:25:58.700
 We sometimes don't understand the images, but it can be helpful to listen to the picture language that John uses.

00:25:59.700 --> 00:26:03.700
 Listen to his description of Jesus' return in Revelation chapter 19.

00:26:03.700 --> 00:26:04.700
 Verse 19.

00:26:04.700 --> 00:26:13.700
 I saw heaven standing open, and there before me was a white horse whose rider is called Faithful and True.

00:26:14.700 --> 00:26:17.700
 With justice he judges and wages war.

00:26:18.700 --> 00:26:22.700
 His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns.

00:26:23.700 --> 00:26:27.700
 He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself.

00:26:27.700 --> 00:26:33.700
 He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the word of God.

00:26:34.700 --> 00:26:40.700
 The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean.

00:26:41.700 --> 00:26:46.700
 Coming out of his mouth is a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations.

00:26:47.700 --> 00:26:49.700
 He will rule them with an iron scepter.

00:26:49.700 --> 00:26:55.700
 He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty.

00:26:56.700 --> 00:27:04.700
 On his robe and on his thigh he has the name written King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

00:27:07.700 --> 00:27:11.700
 God will bring about this justice with Jesus' return.

00:27:11.700 --> 00:27:15.700
 But who will be punished?

00:27:16.700 --> 00:27:19.700
 So is it fair that God's people suffer?

00:27:20.700 --> 00:27:21.700
 When will this justice come about?

00:27:22.700 --> 00:27:24.700
 Who will be punished?

00:27:25.700 --> 00:27:27.700
 Well, let's look at the truth in verse 8.

00:27:28.700 --> 00:27:38.700
 He will punish those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.

00:27:38.700 --> 00:27:41.700
 The Lord will punish those who do not know Him.

00:27:41.700 --> 00:27:54.700
 The Lord will punish those who do not know Him.

00:27:54.700 --> 00:28:14.700
 If we reject the glorious gospel of Jesus, then we face His unavoidable punishment.

00:28:15.700 --> 00:28:18.700
 It cannot be avoided, and it's terrifying.

00:28:18.700 --> 00:28:24.700
 It will be those who don't obey His gospel.

00:28:25.700 --> 00:28:28.700
 The amazing gospel that is saving us.

00:28:29.700 --> 00:28:30.700
 That is saving those who believe.

00:28:34.700 --> 00:28:35.700
 But what will this punishment be?

00:28:36.700 --> 00:28:37.700
 Look at verse 9.

00:28:38.700 --> 00:28:41.700
 They will be punished with everlasting destruction,

00:28:42.700 --> 00:28:44.700
 and shut out from the presence of the Lord,

00:28:45.700 --> 00:28:47.700
 and from the glory of His might.

00:28:48.700 --> 00:28:51.700
 Isaiah says the splendor of His power in one version.

00:28:52.700 --> 00:28:53.700
 Everlasting destruction.

00:28:54.700 --> 00:28:57.700
 Shut out from the presence of the Lord.

00:28:58.700 --> 00:29:04.700
 A punishment of being faced with an eternity of separation from the presence of the Lord.

00:29:05.700 --> 00:29:09.700
 All that is good, all that is right, all that is enjoyable,

00:29:10.700 --> 00:29:11.700
 will be removed.

00:29:11.700 --> 00:29:14.700
 And only the opposite will remain.

00:29:14.700 --> 00:29:15.700
 Forever.

00:29:18.700 --> 00:29:23.700
 So how on earth is God just in doing this?

00:29:24.700 --> 00:29:27.700
 How is that fair?

00:29:27.700 --> 00:29:28.700
 How is that fair?

00:29:28.700 --> 00:29:29.700
 How is that fair?

00:29:30.700 --> 00:29:31.700
 Well, because of our rebellion,

00:29:32.700 --> 00:29:35.700
 the most heinous of crimes that we hear on the radio,

00:29:36.700 --> 00:29:39.700
 down to what we see as the most smallest of sins,

00:29:40.700 --> 00:29:43.700
 are both deserving of this punishment.

00:29:44.700 --> 00:29:46.700
 That's the seriousness of sin.

00:29:46.700 --> 00:29:52.700
 But the Lord has provided a way for it to be paid for us.

00:29:53.700 --> 00:29:56.700
 The gospel of the Lord Jesus, that's why it's good news,

00:29:57.700 --> 00:30:00.700
 is that Jesus died to take our punishment.

00:30:00.700 --> 00:30:05.700
 He rose again in victory over death and sin.

00:30:06.700 --> 00:30:08.700
 And through faith in Jesus,

00:30:09.700 --> 00:30:10.700
 our punishment is taken.

00:30:11.700 --> 00:30:12.700
 And there's no more to be feared.

00:30:13.700 --> 00:30:15.700
 But it does need to be paid.

00:30:16.700 --> 00:30:17.700
 That's why it's fair.

00:30:18.700 --> 00:30:19.700
 Either by us,

00:30:20.700 --> 00:30:21.700
 or by Jesus.

00:30:23.700 --> 00:30:25.700
 Sin never goes unpunished.

00:30:26.700 --> 00:30:28.700
 But we don't have to face it ourselves.

00:30:28.700 --> 00:30:31.700
 Look in verse 10.

00:30:32.700 --> 00:30:34.700
 Look at the outcome for those who do believe.

00:30:37.700 --> 00:30:40.700
 On the day he comes to be glorified in his holy people,

00:30:41.700 --> 00:30:43.700
 and to be marveled at among all those who have believed.

00:30:45.700 --> 00:30:46.700
 This includes you.

00:30:47.700 --> 00:30:50.700
 Because you believed our testimony to you.

00:30:52.700 --> 00:30:57.700
 Jesus will be glorified in and marveled at by his people.

00:30:57.700 --> 00:30:58.700
 Those who believe.

00:30:58.700 --> 00:31:01.700
 Instead of being shot out from the presence of God,

00:31:01.700 --> 00:31:03.700
 we will be with him forever.

00:31:04.700 --> 00:31:08.700
 Paul writes in a similar way in his first letter to the Thessalonians,

00:31:09.700 --> 00:31:10.700
 chapter 4.

00:31:10.700 --> 00:31:12.700
 After that,

00:31:12.700 --> 00:31:14.700
 we who are still alive and are left

00:31:15.700 --> 00:31:17.700
 will be caught up together with them in the clouds

00:31:18.700 --> 00:31:19.700
 to meet the Lord in the air,

00:31:20.700 --> 00:31:23.700
 and so we will be with the Lord forever.

00:31:23.700 --> 00:31:24.700
 Forever.

00:31:24.700 --> 00:31:28.700
 Look how Paul is encouraging the Thessalonian church.

00:31:29.700 --> 00:31:30.700
 Verse 10.

00:31:30.700 --> 00:31:32.700
 This includes you.

00:31:33.700 --> 00:31:35.700
 You will be counted amongst these holy people.

00:31:36.700 --> 00:31:37.700
 Why?

00:31:38.700 --> 00:31:42.700
 Because they believed the gospel that Paul presented to them.

00:31:42.700 --> 00:31:47.700
 Paul and his team told them the gospel,

00:31:47.700 --> 00:31:48.700
 and they believed.

00:31:49.700 --> 00:31:52.700
 Now I recognize that there's a lot to digest in here.

00:31:53.700 --> 00:31:55.700
 Where do we stand before the Lord?

00:31:56.700 --> 00:31:57.700
 Before the Lord Jesus?

00:31:58.700 --> 00:32:01.700
 Where do our family and friends stand?

00:32:02.700 --> 00:32:04.700
 We need to plead with them.

00:32:04.700 --> 00:32:07.700
 We need to urgently be praying for them.

00:32:08.700 --> 00:32:12.700
 Now this may be slightly unusual,

00:32:13.700 --> 00:32:17.700
 but I just want to take a minute just to reflect where we are at.

00:32:18.700 --> 00:32:22.700
 How urgent it is to come to Jesus in faith,

00:32:23.700 --> 00:32:26.700
 and to plead and pray for others to do the same.

00:32:26.700 --> 00:32:27.700
 We need to take a minute just to do the same.

00:32:27.700 --> 00:32:57.140
 So we've seen Paul's greetings

00:32:57.140 --> 00:32:59.340
 from the workers.

00:32:59.840 --> 00:33:02.380
 We've seen thanksgiving for all that God is doing.

00:33:03.580 --> 00:33:06.040
 And we've seen the amazing justice

00:33:06.040 --> 00:33:07.440
 of God and his work

00:33:07.440 --> 00:33:10.800
 and the amazing good news

00:33:10.800 --> 00:33:12.700
 about that justice.

00:33:13.660 --> 00:33:15.640
 And finally, we can see Paul

00:33:15.640 --> 00:33:18.160
 praying for God's work.

00:33:20.340 --> 00:33:22.140
 Look in verses 11 and 12.

00:33:23.780 --> 00:33:26.680
 With this in mind, we constantly pray for you.

00:33:27.140 --> 00:33:29.820
 That our God may make you worthy of his calling

00:33:29.820 --> 00:33:31.900
 and that by his power

00:33:31.900 --> 00:33:34.040
 he may bring to fruition

00:33:34.040 --> 00:33:36.040
 your every desire for goodness

00:33:36.040 --> 00:33:38.660
 and your every deed prompted by faith.

00:33:39.580 --> 00:33:40.820
 We pray this

00:33:40.820 --> 00:33:42.840
 so that the name of our Lord Jesus

00:33:42.840 --> 00:33:44.900
 may be glorified in you

00:33:44.900 --> 00:33:46.300
 and you in him

00:33:46.300 --> 00:33:48.900
 according to the grace of our God

00:33:48.900 --> 00:33:50.780
 and the Lord Jesus Christ.

00:33:50.779 --> 00:33:55.899
 He prays that God would make them worthy

00:33:55.899 --> 00:33:57.359
 of his calling

00:33:57.359 --> 00:33:59.379
 of God's calling in their lives.

00:34:00.099 --> 00:34:02.220
 Now, not that they would need to earn

00:34:02.220 --> 00:34:03.720
 in any way

00:34:03.720 --> 00:34:05.619
 that they would need to be worthy first.

00:34:07.299 --> 00:34:08.559
 That was a free gift.

00:34:09.000 --> 00:34:10.179
 That was the grace.

00:34:11.400 --> 00:34:14.179
 Not because of what they could do or did

00:34:14.179 --> 00:34:17.139
 but they needed to live up to

00:34:17.139 --> 00:34:18.399
 that calling

00:34:18.399 --> 00:34:19.759
 of following Jesus.

00:34:21.679 --> 00:34:23.139
 God is working in us

00:34:23.139 --> 00:34:24.500
 as one author puts it

00:34:24.500 --> 00:34:26.460
 to narrow the gap

00:34:26.460 --> 00:34:28.619
 between what we were

00:34:28.619 --> 00:34:29.679
 when he called us

00:34:29.679 --> 00:34:31.319
 and what we should be

00:34:31.319 --> 00:34:33.019
 and shall be.

00:34:34.019 --> 00:34:35.519
 Like Johnny mentioned at the start

00:34:35.519 --> 00:34:38.380
 we one day will be like Jesus

00:34:38.380 --> 00:34:40.900
 and with Jesus

00:34:40.900 --> 00:34:43.320
 and we need his help in that.

00:34:43.719 --> 00:34:44.840
 By his Holy Spirit

00:34:44.840 --> 00:34:46.300
 we need to pray

00:34:46.300 --> 00:34:48.840
 for God's changing work in us.

00:34:49.659 --> 00:34:50.860
 We need to be praying for this

00:34:50.860 --> 00:34:51.519
 for each other

00:34:51.519 --> 00:34:53.460
 so that we will be getting

00:34:53.460 --> 00:34:55.259
 to be more like what we should be

00:34:55.259 --> 00:34:56.539
 like Jesus.

00:34:57.539 --> 00:34:59.380
 More like him in how we love God

00:34:59.380 --> 00:35:01.559
 in our faith before him

00:35:01.559 --> 00:35:03.259
 in how we love others

00:35:03.259 --> 00:35:05.159
 in how we care for those in need

00:35:05.159 --> 00:35:07.000
 in how we pray.

00:35:09.239 --> 00:35:10.279
 And the second thing

00:35:10.279 --> 00:35:11.179
 Paul is praying for

00:35:11.179 --> 00:35:14.339
 so the first

00:35:14.339 --> 00:35:16.839
 is that they will be worthy

00:35:16.839 --> 00:35:17.500
 of his calling.

00:35:18.480 --> 00:35:19.000
 The second

00:35:19.000 --> 00:35:21.480
 is he's praying for the power of God

00:35:21.480 --> 00:35:24.719
 would bring about the good desires

00:35:24.719 --> 00:35:26.000
 and deeds of his people.

00:35:27.039 --> 00:35:27.399
 Well he say

00:35:27.399 --> 00:35:29.440
 he may bring to fruition

00:35:29.440 --> 00:35:30.839
 your every desire for goodness

00:35:30.839 --> 00:35:32.480
 and your every deed

00:35:32.480 --> 00:35:33.899
 prompted by faith.

00:35:35.159 --> 00:35:37.980
 We need to be people

00:35:37.980 --> 00:35:38.579
 who pray

00:35:38.579 --> 00:35:40.679
 that the Lord

00:35:40.679 --> 00:35:42.460
 would use us

00:35:42.460 --> 00:35:43.139
 in this world.

00:35:43.819 --> 00:35:44.559
 This is a challenge

00:35:44.559 --> 00:35:45.500
 to me

00:35:45.500 --> 00:35:47.199
 because I'm not very good

00:35:47.199 --> 00:35:47.619
 at praying.

00:35:48.299 --> 00:35:49.460
 I get caught up in

00:35:49.460 --> 00:35:50.379
 how I'm feeling

00:35:50.379 --> 00:35:52.379
 or whether I should pray

00:35:52.379 --> 00:35:53.319
 or I shouldn't pray.

00:35:54.000 --> 00:35:54.619
 That's rubbish.

00:35:55.960 --> 00:35:57.159
 We need to be people

00:35:57.159 --> 00:35:57.920
 who pray

00:35:57.920 --> 00:35:59.179
 for God

00:35:59.179 --> 00:35:59.839
 to be working

00:35:59.839 --> 00:36:01.019
 powerfully in us

00:36:01.019 --> 00:36:02.379
 and in this world.

00:36:02.380 --> 00:36:04.700
 we need to change

00:36:04.700 --> 00:36:06.160
 and the world

00:36:06.160 --> 00:36:07.019
 needs to change

00:36:07.019 --> 00:36:08.180
 and only God

00:36:08.180 --> 00:36:08.820
 can do it.

00:36:10.119 --> 00:36:11.420
 So we need to ask.

00:36:13.960 --> 00:36:15.539
 But why did Paul pray?

00:36:15.880 --> 00:36:16.920
 Why should we pray?

00:36:18.519 --> 00:36:19.400
 Verse 12

00:36:19.400 --> 00:36:21.320
 We pray this

00:36:21.320 --> 00:36:22.400
 so that the name

00:36:22.400 --> 00:36:23.300
 of our Lord Jesus

00:36:23.300 --> 00:36:24.700
 may be glorified in you

00:36:24.700 --> 00:36:26.099
 and you in him

00:36:26.099 --> 00:36:27.880
 according to the grace

00:36:27.880 --> 00:36:28.559
 of our God

00:36:28.559 --> 00:36:30.300
 and the Lord Jesus Christ.

00:36:30.860 --> 00:36:32.119
 So that the name

00:36:32.119 --> 00:36:33.039
 of Jesus

00:36:33.039 --> 00:36:35.079
 would be glorified in us

00:36:35.079 --> 00:36:36.400
 and we

00:36:36.400 --> 00:36:37.539
 in him.

00:36:39.000 --> 00:36:39.480
 Amazingly

00:36:39.480 --> 00:36:40.500
 it's not just when

00:36:40.500 --> 00:36:41.700
 Jesus comes back

00:36:41.700 --> 00:36:43.240
 that he will be glorified

00:36:43.240 --> 00:36:43.980
 in his people

00:36:43.980 --> 00:36:45.679
 but in fact

00:36:45.679 --> 00:36:47.199
 that process begins now

00:36:47.199 --> 00:36:48.240
 it's already begun

00:36:48.240 --> 00:36:50.539
 when his people

00:36:50.539 --> 00:36:51.539
 who live here

00:36:51.539 --> 00:36:52.719
 when we live lives

00:36:52.719 --> 00:36:53.800
 that are worthy

00:36:53.800 --> 00:36:54.480
 of his calling

00:36:54.480 --> 00:36:56.059
 when we're seeking

00:36:56.059 --> 00:36:57.119
 to grow in faith

00:36:57.119 --> 00:36:57.639
 and love

00:36:57.639 --> 00:36:59.440
 when we act

00:36:59.440 --> 00:36:59.940
 in the ways

00:36:59.940 --> 00:37:00.619
 that we should act

00:37:00.619 --> 00:37:01.880
 speak the things

00:37:01.880 --> 00:37:02.579
 we should speak

00:37:02.579 --> 00:37:04.219
 we're bringing glory

00:37:04.219 --> 00:37:05.300
 honour

00:37:05.300 --> 00:37:06.920
 fame

00:37:06.920 --> 00:37:09.219
 to Jesus' name

00:37:09.219 --> 00:37:09.920
 in our lives

00:37:09.920 --> 00:37:10.639
 his name

00:37:10.639 --> 00:37:13.719
 the phrase

00:37:13.719 --> 00:37:16.099
 he gets a good name

00:37:16.099 --> 00:37:17.400
 from us

00:37:17.400 --> 00:37:18.719
 he gets the glory

00:37:18.719 --> 00:37:19.659
 through our lives

00:37:19.659 --> 00:37:22.579
 and amazingly

00:37:22.579 --> 00:37:23.779
 when we do this

00:37:23.779 --> 00:37:25.440
 we in turn

00:37:25.440 --> 00:37:26.539
 will be seen

00:37:26.539 --> 00:37:27.079
 as people

00:37:27.079 --> 00:37:28.199
 being made

00:37:28.199 --> 00:37:29.159
 more and more

00:37:29.159 --> 00:37:30.519
 into the image

00:37:30.519 --> 00:37:31.279
 of God

00:37:31.279 --> 00:37:33.879
 through faith

00:37:33.879 --> 00:37:34.460
 in Jesus

00:37:34.460 --> 00:37:35.480
 we ourselves

00:37:35.480 --> 00:37:36.659
 are glorified

00:37:36.659 --> 00:37:37.159
 in him

00:37:37.159 --> 00:37:39.879
 through union

00:37:39.879 --> 00:37:40.460
 with him

00:37:40.460 --> 00:37:42.000
 God's people

00:37:42.000 --> 00:37:42.900
 are seen

00:37:42.900 --> 00:37:44.260
 in their true

00:37:44.260 --> 00:37:45.039
 humanness

00:37:45.039 --> 00:37:46.400
 as the image

00:37:46.400 --> 00:37:46.900
 of God

00:37:46.900 --> 00:37:48.900
 life

00:37:48.900 --> 00:37:50.420
 as it is meant

00:37:50.420 --> 00:37:50.920
 to be

00:37:50.920 --> 00:37:52.139
 can be seen

00:37:52.139 --> 00:37:52.940
 through lives

00:37:52.940 --> 00:37:53.860
 lived for Jesus

00:37:53.860 --> 00:37:58.059
 but it's all

00:37:58.059 --> 00:37:58.699
 by grace

00:37:58.699 --> 00:38:00.780
 look at the second

00:38:00.780 --> 00:38:02.019
 part of verse 12

00:38:02.019 --> 00:38:05.000
 according

00:38:05.000 --> 00:38:06.079
 to the grace

00:38:06.079 --> 00:38:07.920
 grace of who

00:38:07.920 --> 00:38:09.440
 of our God

00:38:09.440 --> 00:38:09.940
 God

00:38:09.940 --> 00:38:11.039
 and the Lord

00:38:11.039 --> 00:38:11.820
 Jesus Christ

00:38:11.820 --> 00:38:14.960
 we need the Lord's

00:38:14.960 --> 00:38:15.800
 help to glorify

00:38:15.800 --> 00:38:16.320
 his name

00:38:16.320 --> 00:38:17.460
 and so we need

00:38:17.460 --> 00:38:18.300
 to pray for his

00:38:18.300 --> 00:38:19.220
 grace and help

00:38:19.220 --> 00:38:21.159
 the grace of our

00:38:21.159 --> 00:38:21.579
 Lord

00:38:21.579 --> 00:38:23.780
 of our God

00:38:23.780 --> 00:38:27.559
 so we began

00:38:27.559 --> 00:38:28.059
 by thinking

00:38:28.059 --> 00:38:28.579
 about whether

00:38:28.579 --> 00:38:29.559
 God is fair

00:38:29.559 --> 00:38:31.039
 and God's word

00:38:31.039 --> 00:38:31.880
 is very clear

00:38:31.880 --> 00:38:33.519
 that who God

00:38:33.519 --> 00:38:33.860
 is

00:38:33.860 --> 00:38:35.019
 and what God

00:38:35.019 --> 00:38:35.440
 does

00:38:35.440 --> 00:38:36.599
 is just

00:38:36.599 --> 00:38:37.500
 and fair

00:38:37.500 --> 00:38:38.539
 and right

00:38:38.539 --> 00:38:39.960
 for all of

00:38:39.960 --> 00:38:40.279
 time

00:38:40.279 --> 00:38:43.539
 and we can

00:38:43.539 --> 00:38:44.159
 give thanks

00:38:44.159 --> 00:38:44.639
 for God's

00:38:44.639 --> 00:38:44.940
 work

00:38:44.940 --> 00:38:47.139
 we can rest

00:38:47.139 --> 00:38:48.079
 in that justice

00:38:48.079 --> 00:38:49.420
 of God

00:38:49.420 --> 00:38:50.179
 and in his work

00:38:50.179 --> 00:38:51.799
 and be praying

00:38:51.799 --> 00:38:52.599
 for the work

00:38:52.599 --> 00:38:54.380
 that God is doing

00:38:54.380 --> 00:38:55.779
 in this world

00:38:55.780 --> 00:38:58.019
 in closing

00:38:58.019 --> 00:38:58.760
 listen to the

00:38:58.760 --> 00:38:59.140
 words

00:38:59.140 --> 00:39:00.360
 of Deuteronomy

00:39:00.360 --> 00:39:01.519
 chapter 32

00:39:01.519 --> 00:39:03.480
 verses 4 and 5

00:39:03.480 --> 00:39:05.660
 the song we sang

00:39:05.660 --> 00:39:06.000
 earlier

00:39:06.000 --> 00:39:07.140
 is based on

00:39:07.140 --> 00:39:07.700
 these words

00:39:07.700 --> 00:39:10.260
 I will proclaim

00:39:10.260 --> 00:39:11.160
 the name of

00:39:11.160 --> 00:39:11.600
 the Lord

00:39:11.600 --> 00:39:14.280
 oh praise

00:39:14.280 --> 00:39:15.000
 the greatness

00:39:15.000 --> 00:39:15.900
 of our God

00:39:15.900 --> 00:39:18.340
 he is the rock

00:39:18.340 --> 00:39:19.620
 his works

00:39:19.620 --> 00:39:20.540
 are perfect

00:39:20.540 --> 00:39:22.000
 and all his

00:39:22.000 --> 00:39:22.500
 ways

00:39:22.500 --> 00:39:23.700
 are just

00:39:23.699 --> 00:39:25.759
 a faithful

00:39:25.759 --> 00:39:26.239
 God

00:39:26.239 --> 00:39:27.379
 who does

00:39:27.379 --> 00:39:28.159
 no wrong

00:39:28.159 --> 00:39:30.059
 upright

00:39:30.059 --> 00:39:31.079
 and just

00:39:31.079 --> 00:39:32.279
 is he

00:39:32.279 --> 00:39:35.679
 father we thank

00:39:35.679 --> 00:39:36.219
 you for your

00:39:36.219 --> 00:39:36.579
 word

00:39:36.579 --> 00:39:41.439
 I pray that you

00:39:41.439 --> 00:39:41.859
 would give us

00:39:41.859 --> 00:39:42.399
 an insight

00:39:42.399 --> 00:39:43.239
 and understanding

00:39:43.239 --> 00:39:44.599
 as we deal

00:39:44.599 --> 00:39:45.059
 with things

00:39:45.059 --> 00:39:45.539
 that are very

00:39:45.539 --> 00:39:46.019
 difficult

00:39:46.019 --> 00:39:47.239
 to swallow

00:39:47.239 --> 00:39:48.899
 as we look

00:39:48.899 --> 00:39:49.579
 at the reality

00:39:49.579 --> 00:39:50.339
 and truth

00:39:50.339 --> 00:39:52.279
 of what your

00:39:52.279 --> 00:39:53.019
 word says

00:39:53.019 --> 00:39:54.460
 Lord we thank

00:39:54.460 --> 00:39:55.079

00:39:55.079 --> 00:39:55.559
 that you are

00:39:55.559 --> 00:39:56.880
 doing in us

00:39:56.880 --> 00:39:58.539
 in our lives

 that our very

00:40:04.380 --> 00:40:05.539
 beings cry

00:40:05.539 --> 00:40:06.300
 for justice

00:40:06.300 --> 00:40:07.440
 and that is

00:40:07.440 --> 00:40:08.079
 who you are
