WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.820 So if you've got your Bibles or devices, open them up to chapter 19 in Exodus, starting at verse 1. 00:00:08.400 --> 00:00:16.879 On the first day of the third month, after the Israelites left Egypt, on that very day, they came to the desert of Sinai. 00:00:17.679 --> 00:00:24.980 After they set out from Rephidim, they entered the desert of Sinai, and Israel camped there in the desert in front of the mountain. 00:00:24.980 --> 00:00:31.080 Then Moses went up to God, and the Lord called to him from the mountain and said, 00:00:31.660 --> 00:00:37.600 This is what you are to say to the descendants of Jacob and what you are to tell the people of Israel. 00:00:38.560 --> 00:00:47.679 You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt and how I carried you on eagles' wings and brought you to myself. 00:00:47.679 --> 00:00:57.179 Now, if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession. 00:00:58.259 --> 00:01:05.859 Although the whole earth is mine, you will be for me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation. 00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:10.239 These are the words you are to speak to the Israelites. 00:01:10.239 --> 00:01:19.719 So Moses went back and summoned the elders of the people and set before them all the words the Lord had commanded him to speak. 00:01:20.479 --> 00:01:22.819 The people all responded together, 00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:26.759 We will do everything the Lord has said. 00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:30.780 So Moses brought their answer back to the Lord. 00:01:30.780 --> 00:01:33.180 The Lord said to Moses, 00:01:33.180 --> 00:01:41.460 I am going to come to you in a dense cloud so that the people will hear me speaking with you and will always put their trust in you. 00:01:42.320 --> 00:01:45.260 Then Moses told the Lord what the people had said. 00:01:46.420 --> 00:01:48.240 And the Lord said to Moses, 00:01:48.780 --> 00:01:51.719 Go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow. 00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:55.920 Have them wash their clothes and be ready by the third day, 00:01:55.920 --> 00:02:01.820 because on that day the Lord will come down on Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people. 00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:06.240 Put limits for the people around the mountain and tell them, 00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:11.719 Be careful that you do not approach the mountain or touch the foot of it. 00:02:12.379 --> 00:02:15.680 Whoever touches the mountain is to be put to death. 00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:19.259 They are to be stoned or shot with arrows. 00:02:19.420 --> 00:02:21.439 Not a hand is to be laid on them. 00:02:22.180 --> 00:02:24.840 No person or animal shall be permitted to live. 00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:31.620 Only when the ram's horn sounds a long blast may they approach the mountain. 00:02:33.879 --> 00:02:36.819 After Moses had gone down the mountain to the people, 00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:39.680 he consecrated them and they washed their clothes. 00:02:40.500 --> 00:02:41.640 Then he said to the people, 00:02:42.099 --> 00:02:43.939 Prepare yourselves for the third day. 00:02:44.759 --> 00:02:46.300 Abstain from sexual relations. 00:02:47.480 --> 00:02:49.180 On the morning of the third day, 00:02:49.420 --> 00:02:53.219 there was thunder and lightning with a thick cloud over the mountain 00:02:53.219 --> 00:02:55.840 and a very loud trumpet blast. 00:02:56.740 --> 00:02:58.819 Everyone in the camp trembled. 00:02:59.860 --> 00:03:03.360 Then Moses led the people out of the camp to meet with God 00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:05.979 and they stood at the foot of the mountain. 00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:09.180 Mount Sinai was covered with smoke 00:03:09.180 --> 00:03:12.680 because the Lord descended on it within fire. 00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:16.659 The smoke billowed up from it like smoke from a furnace 00:03:16.659 --> 00:03:19.579 and the whole mountain trembled violently. 00:03:19.579 --> 00:03:23.680 As the sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder, 00:03:24.099 --> 00:03:26.960 Moses spoke and the voice of God answered him. 00:03:27.979 --> 00:03:30.740 The Lord descended to the top of Mount Sinai 00:03:30.740 --> 00:03:32.939 and called Moses to the top of the mountain. 00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:34.879 So Moses went up. 00:03:35.639 --> 00:03:38.120 Let's jump to chapter 20 starting at verse 1. 00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:42.240 And God spoke all these words. 00:03:43.640 --> 00:03:45.580 I am the Lord your God 00:03:45.580 --> 00:03:48.180 who brought you out of Egypt, 00:03:48.740 --> 00:03:50.439 out of the land of slavery. 00:03:51.780 --> 00:03:55.040 You shall have no other gods before me. 00:03:55.920 --> 00:03:58.740 You shall not make for yourself an image 00:03:58.740 --> 00:04:01.080 in the form of anything in heaven above 00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:02.840 or on the earth beneath 00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:04.659 or in the waters below. 00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:07.960 You shall not bow to them or worship them. 00:04:07.960 --> 00:04:12.560 For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, 00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:15.640 punishing the children for the sin of the parents 00:04:15.640 --> 00:04:17.439 to the third and fourth generation 00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:19.420 of those who hate me, 00:04:20.100 --> 00:04:23.660 but showing love to a thousand generations 00:04:23.660 --> 00:04:26.460 of those who love me and keep my commandments. 00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:32.680 You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God. 00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:36.220 For the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless 00:04:36.220 --> 00:04:37.780 who misuses his name. 00:04:37.959 --> 00:04:42.939 Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. 00:04:44.259 --> 00:04:47.279 Six days you shall labour and do all your work, 00:04:47.779 --> 00:04:51.939 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. 00:04:52.779 --> 00:04:54.879 On it you shall not do any work, 00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:57.439 neither you nor your son or daughter, 00:04:57.959 --> 00:04:59.740 nor your male or female servant, 00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:01.279 nor your animals, 00:05:01.679 --> 00:05:04.159 nor any foreigner residing in your towns. 00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:10.020 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, 00:05:10.460 --> 00:05:13.120 the sea and all that is in them, 00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:15.740 but he rested on the seventh day. 00:05:16.880 --> 00:05:19.620 Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day 00:05:19.620 --> 00:05:20.860 and made it holy. 00:05:20.860 --> 00:05:25.160 Honour your father and your mother, 00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:30.300 so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you. 00:05:30.300 --> 00:05:33.540 You shall not murder. 00:05:35.280 --> 00:05:37.620 You shall not commit adultery. 00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:40.939 You shall not steal. 00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:45.639 You shall not give false testimony against your neighbour. 00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:50.000 You shall not covet your neighbour's house. 00:05:50.599 --> 00:05:52.399 You shall not covet your neighbour's wife 00:05:52.399 --> 00:05:54.159 or his male or female servant, 00:05:54.519 --> 00:05:55.719 his ox or donkey, 00:05:56.219 --> 00:05:58.659 or anything that belongs to your neighbour. 00:05:59.800 --> 00:06:02.240 This is the Lord's word and law to us today. 00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:09.480 Well, good morning, everyone. 00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:14.639 A warm welcome if you're visiting this morning. 00:06:14.740 --> 00:06:15.439 My name is David. 00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:17.060 I'm a pastor here. 00:06:17.840 --> 00:06:20.319 Will you please pray with me as we come to God's word? 00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:30.319 Lord, I'm conscious that my words can't display your greatness 00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:33.300 as we've just sung, but your words can. 00:06:34.159 --> 00:06:37.759 And I ask that you would speak powerfully through your word 00:06:37.759 --> 00:06:40.240 and point us to the Lord Jesus Christ. 00:06:41.079 --> 00:06:43.079 Pour out your spirit among us now. 00:06:43.219 --> 00:06:44.199 In Jesus' name I pray. 00:06:44.779 --> 00:06:45.100 Amen. 00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:52.639 Well, you might think all this fire and being afraid, 00:06:53.039 --> 00:06:57.659 this is maybe why you don't really like coming to church 00:06:57.659 --> 00:06:59.399 and this Bible reading. 00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:03.839 But maybe Bob Dylan can help us see 00:07:03.839 --> 00:07:07.759 how freeing the Ten Commandments are. 00:07:09.259 --> 00:07:10.159 Here's Bob Dylan. 00:07:10.399 --> 00:07:13.179 You may be an ambassador to England or France. 00:07:14.039 --> 00:07:15.359 You may like to gamble. 00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:16.620 You may like to dance. 00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:19.099 You may be the heavyweight champion of the world. 00:07:20.279 --> 00:07:23.339 You might be a socialite with a long string of pearls. 00:07:24.579 --> 00:07:27.799 You may be a businessman or some high-degree thief. 00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:28.920 You may call... 00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:32.460 They may call you doctor or they may call you chief. 00:07:33.379 --> 00:07:35.319 John called me chief just the other day. 00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:35.699 Thanks, John. 00:07:37.939 --> 00:07:41.819 You may be a preacher preaching spiritual pride. 00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:45.400 You may be a city councilman taking bribes on the side. 00:07:45.399 --> 00:07:51.299 But you're going to have to serve somebody. 00:07:52.120 --> 00:07:53.159 Yes, you are. 00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:55.739 You're going to have to serve somebody. 00:07:57.319 --> 00:07:58.939 Serve somebody. 00:08:01.459 --> 00:08:04.099 Well, there's Bob Dylan, if I can't convince you. 00:08:04.219 --> 00:08:07.699 To be human is to live for something. 00:08:07.779 --> 00:08:08.819 You've got to live for something. 00:08:08.819 --> 00:08:13.439 And whatever that something is gives your life meaning, 00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:15.680 whether it's in your business as a businessman 00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:18.120 or a socialite with your long string of pearls. 00:08:19.519 --> 00:08:21.659 Whatever you centre your life on, 00:08:22.019 --> 00:08:24.920 whatever is part of that core of who you are 00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:26.100 that gives your life meaning, 00:08:26.659 --> 00:08:28.100 whatever is at the centre, 00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:30.759 you're serving that thing. 00:08:31.060 --> 00:08:32.480 You've got to serve somebody. 00:08:33.939 --> 00:08:35.159 You've got to live for something. 00:08:35.659 --> 00:08:37.179 Whatever you're living for, you're serving. 00:08:37.179 --> 00:08:43.179 Well, the Hebrews were slaves to... 00:08:44.259 --> 00:08:46.579 They were serving an absolute monarch, 00:08:46.779 --> 00:08:47.839 Pharaoh, in Egypt. 00:08:49.000 --> 00:08:51.579 They were burdened with heavy work 00:08:51.579 --> 00:08:53.659 to build Pharaoh's cities. 00:08:54.299 --> 00:08:57.620 They were afflicted, their boys thrown into the Nile. 00:08:59.319 --> 00:09:01.039 God heard their cries. 00:09:01.219 --> 00:09:03.500 He came with power in the ten plagues 00:09:03.500 --> 00:09:05.219 and rescued them. 00:09:05.220 --> 00:09:07.300 And Pharaoh chased after them. 00:09:07.680 --> 00:09:08.820 And at the Red Sea, 00:09:09.019 --> 00:09:10.580 they walked through on dry ground. 00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:12.240 And Pharaoh, 00:09:12.500 --> 00:09:14.660 all their enemies are destroyed in a moment. 00:09:16.040 --> 00:09:17.620 Now, if we were writing Exodus, 00:09:17.860 --> 00:09:19.540 if we were reading Exodus, 00:09:19.680 --> 00:09:22.320 maybe we want the story to stop there. 00:09:22.940 --> 00:09:23.460 They're free. 00:09:24.560 --> 00:09:25.800 That's freedom, isn't it? 00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:29.399 It's a blank slate. 00:09:29.540 --> 00:09:30.160 They're in the wilderness. 00:09:31.019 --> 00:09:33.200 They don't have any masters over them. 00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:37.120 Isn't that what our culture says freedom is? 00:09:37.220 --> 00:09:38.540 Freedom from all restraints? 00:09:38.920 --> 00:09:41.320 Freedom to give expression to your desires, 00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:44.100 to build your identity on whatever you want. 00:09:44.160 --> 00:09:44.800 I'm an architect. 00:09:45.160 --> 00:09:47.180 I play for the junior nights. 00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:52.060 I'm an involved mum with career aspirations. 00:09:53.360 --> 00:09:54.520 That's freedom, isn't it? 00:09:54.580 --> 00:09:54.940 Wilderness. 00:09:54.940 --> 00:10:01.040 As we come to the Ten Commandments, 00:10:01.460 --> 00:10:04.380 are Israel swapping one tyrant for another? 00:10:09.820 --> 00:10:13.380 Because Yahweh's repeated goal of setting them free 00:10:13.380 --> 00:10:14.680 is really clear. 00:10:14.860 --> 00:10:16.380 He says to Pharaoh again and again, 00:10:16.380 --> 00:10:18.380 let my people go, 00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:22.640 that they may serve me in the wilderness. 00:10:24.940 --> 00:10:28.400 We're only going to see life and freedom 00:10:28.400 --> 00:10:31.860 if we agree with Bob Dylan. 00:10:34.220 --> 00:10:35.860 You've got to serve somebody. 00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:36.760 You've got to. 00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:39.100 The question is, 00:10:39.180 --> 00:10:40.500 are you building your life 00:10:40.500 --> 00:10:43.980 on the right thing, 00:10:44.040 --> 00:10:44.840 on the right someone? 00:10:44.840 --> 00:10:44.960 Right. 00:10:44.960 --> 00:10:52.600 We find it really, really hard, 00:10:52.820 --> 00:10:55.200 I think close to impossible, 00:10:56.019 --> 00:10:57.840 without God's help, 00:10:57.920 --> 00:11:01.720 to understand God's desire for our obedience. 00:11:02.700 --> 00:11:04.259 We find this so hard. 00:11:06.019 --> 00:11:08.320 The obedience God demands 00:11:08.320 --> 00:11:10.740 is in response to salvation. 00:11:10.740 --> 00:11:12.960 It's not to earn salvation. 00:11:13.460 --> 00:11:15.320 And that's true here for Israel. 00:11:16.500 --> 00:11:18.159 If you're following along in your Bibles, 00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:19.440 19 verse 4, 00:11:21.340 --> 00:11:24.759 you yourselves have seen what I did to the Egyptians 00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:27.080 and how I bore you on eagles' wings 00:11:27.080 --> 00:11:29.560 and brought you to myself. 00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:31.740 Now therefore, 00:11:31.740 --> 00:11:39.000 God's initiative, 00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:40.560 God's choice, 00:11:40.899 --> 00:11:41.940 God's doing, 00:11:42.299 --> 00:11:43.299 God's grace, 00:11:44.580 --> 00:11:49.299 saved, 00:11:49.560 --> 00:11:50.180 therefore, 00:11:51.240 --> 00:11:51.580 obey. 00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:54.100 We find that so hard 00:11:54.100 --> 00:11:54.940 to get our heads around. 00:11:55.560 --> 00:11:56.580 In ancient times, 00:11:56.899 --> 00:11:59.200 they built their cities around mountains 00:11:59.200 --> 00:12:01.240 or a man-made mountain 00:12:01.240 --> 00:12:03.240 so that they could climb up, 00:12:04.320 --> 00:12:06.140 offer the sacrifices to the gods 00:12:06.140 --> 00:12:08.720 and bring the blessing down on their lives. 00:12:09.860 --> 00:12:12.140 That might sound primitive to us today, 00:12:12.280 --> 00:12:15.759 but aren't we still climbing? 00:12:17.600 --> 00:12:19.580 Isn't our society still, 00:12:19.780 --> 00:12:20.800 by our own resources, 00:12:21.020 --> 00:12:22.520 climb, climb, climb, 00:12:22.640 --> 00:12:24.220 bring blessing down on your life? 00:12:25.300 --> 00:12:26.180 Work harder. 00:12:27.259 --> 00:12:28.000 Be smarter. 00:12:29.200 --> 00:12:33.640 Climb the social competition, 00:12:33.860 --> 00:12:35.100 climb the corporate ladder. 00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:39.140 Get into the property market 00:12:39.140 --> 00:12:40.259 by your own resources. 00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:42.320 Climb, climb, climb 00:12:42.320 --> 00:12:44.100 and bring blessing down on yourself. 00:12:47.020 --> 00:12:49.320 God's city is built 00:12:49.320 --> 00:12:51.440 on totally opposite, 00:12:52.560 --> 00:12:53.840 which is what principle, 00:12:54.100 --> 00:12:55.340 it's totally opposite principle. 00:12:55.480 --> 00:12:56.680 God comes down. 00:12:56.679 --> 00:12:58.779 We don't climb up. 00:12:59.659 --> 00:13:00.799 He comes down. 00:13:03.419 --> 00:13:06.139 You are completely accepted. 00:13:07.579 --> 00:13:09.579 You have nothing to prove. 00:13:11.199 --> 00:13:13.500 You already fully belong to me. 00:13:13.919 --> 00:13:14.919 I did it all. 00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:17.419 Therefore, 00:13:18.500 --> 00:13:18.739 obey. 00:13:18.740 --> 00:13:23.200 We struggle to get our head around that. 00:13:27.159 --> 00:13:28.080 But if we do, 00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:29.840 it radically changes our motivation 00:13:29.840 --> 00:13:30.779 for obedience. 00:13:32.060 --> 00:13:35.399 Because if God has given all of himself to us, 00:13:36.399 --> 00:13:38.139 or to Israel, 00:13:38.220 --> 00:13:40.139 he now wants Israel to reciprocate, 00:13:40.680 --> 00:13:42.820 give all of themselves to him. 00:13:42.820 --> 00:13:50.200 I think part of the proof 00:13:50.200 --> 00:13:52.200 that we don't get this is, 00:13:53.520 --> 00:13:54.860 I wonder if your mind, 00:13:55.060 --> 00:13:56.120 your heart is asking, 00:13:56.520 --> 00:13:56.740 well, 00:13:57.400 --> 00:13:59.860 if it's all God's doing, 00:14:00.760 --> 00:14:02.080 if I'm accepted, 00:14:03.160 --> 00:14:04.860 I'm valued, 00:14:05.080 --> 00:14:05.720 I'm loved, 00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:07.140 all by God's doing, 00:14:07.139 --> 00:14:10.139 what's the motivation to obey? 00:14:11.580 --> 00:14:13.439 If the fear of punishment is removed, 00:14:13.539 --> 00:14:14.539 what's the motivation? 00:14:19.659 --> 00:14:22.120 Let's have a look at God's purposes for the law. 00:14:23.960 --> 00:14:25.559 Israel's high calling. 00:14:26.340 --> 00:14:27.759 Look at chapter 19, 00:14:27.840 --> 00:14:28.939 verses 5 and 6. 00:14:28.940 --> 00:14:55.300 Ancient monarchs, 00:14:55.300 --> 00:14:56.160 they owned everything. 00:14:57.200 --> 00:14:57.800 The roads, 00:14:58.040 --> 00:14:58.520 the buildings, 00:14:58.519 --> 00:14:59.419 the citizens. 00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:02.159 But, 00:15:02.840 --> 00:15:04.100 there would be certain items 00:15:04.100 --> 00:15:05.980 they would have for their own enjoyment. 00:15:06.899 --> 00:15:07.620 There would be people 00:15:07.620 --> 00:15:09.600 they would invite to sit at their table 00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:11.579 to enjoy their presence. 00:15:13.480 --> 00:15:15.159 The Lord owns everything. 00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:18.559 He owns North Korea. 00:15:18.740 --> 00:15:20.360 He owns all the nations. 00:15:21.240 --> 00:15:22.319 He owns the stars. 00:15:22.699 --> 00:15:23.299 And Israel, 00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:25.419 when you obey me, 00:15:25.419 --> 00:15:27.539 you can know that I'm treasuring you. 00:15:28.519 --> 00:15:39.259 The law tells Israel how to please God. 00:15:42.259 --> 00:15:43.980 When you fall in love with someone, 00:15:44.980 --> 00:15:47.559 what you do is you work out what, 00:15:47.559 --> 00:15:48.799 what does it, 00:15:49.439 --> 00:15:50.860 what pleases that person? 00:15:50.860 --> 00:15:55.600 And you want to give it. 00:15:55.600 --> 00:15:57.399 And it doesn't feel like coercion. 00:15:58.220 --> 00:15:59.879 Because your happiness is, 00:16:00.440 --> 00:16:02.360 you place it in their happiness. 00:16:02.360 --> 00:16:08.580 God hasn't left us aiming in the dark 00:16:08.580 --> 00:16:09.720 to know what he wants. 00:16:09.879 --> 00:16:10.639 He says to Israel, 00:16:10.800 --> 00:16:12.519 here's how you can please me. 00:16:12.879 --> 00:16:13.899 And when you do this, 00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:14.879 you can know 00:16:14.879 --> 00:16:16.980 I'm treasuring you. 00:16:19.519 --> 00:16:20.279 You're mine. 00:16:20.940 --> 00:16:22.419 You're my special possession. 00:16:22.419 --> 00:16:31.240 Obey so that you know 00:16:31.240 --> 00:16:32.339 that I'm treasuring you. 00:16:34.459 --> 00:16:36.439 This was never meant to remain 00:16:36.439 --> 00:16:37.899 the sole privilege of Israel. 00:16:38.039 --> 00:16:39.360 And we see this with the other 00:16:39.360 --> 00:16:41.419 descriptions of their calling. 00:16:43.500 --> 00:16:45.519 They to be a kingdom of priests 00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:47.240 and a holy nation. 00:16:47.240 --> 00:16:49.759 God wants all the nations 00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:51.039 to look at Israel 00:16:51.039 --> 00:16:54.080 and see justice 00:16:54.080 --> 00:16:55.379 and peace 00:16:55.379 --> 00:16:58.100 and prosperity 00:16:58.100 --> 00:17:02.519 and a satisfaction 00:17:02.519 --> 00:17:04.620 in God treasuring them. 00:17:05.700 --> 00:17:07.120 He wants Israel to be a light 00:17:07.120 --> 00:17:07.740 for the nations. 00:17:07.900 --> 00:17:08.660 I know priests 00:17:08.660 --> 00:17:12.220 is a term 00:17:12.220 --> 00:17:13.200 that is mixed up 00:17:13.200 --> 00:17:14.880 with pretty negative stuff 00:17:14.880 --> 00:17:15.880 for us in Australia 00:17:15.880 --> 00:17:17.019 given all the scandals. 00:17:17.620 --> 00:17:18.500 But if you think about 00:17:18.500 --> 00:17:19.299 what a priest is, 00:17:19.359 --> 00:17:20.099 a priest has 00:17:20.099 --> 00:17:22.859 access to God. 00:17:24.420 --> 00:17:26.420 A priest knows God. 00:17:27.779 --> 00:17:28.660 Or ought to. 00:17:28.779 --> 00:17:29.700 These are all ought to. 00:17:29.819 --> 00:17:32.160 A priest goes in to God 00:17:32.160 --> 00:17:33.200 on someone else's behalf. 00:17:33.420 --> 00:17:34.700 The whole nation of Israel 00:17:34.700 --> 00:17:36.740 would have access 00:17:36.740 --> 00:17:37.400 to this God. 00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:38.480 This God will be dwelling 00:17:38.480 --> 00:17:39.680 in their midst. 00:17:40.799 --> 00:17:41.920 The way they live 00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:43.900 was to represent 00:17:43.900 --> 00:17:45.240 the nations 00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:46.859 and bring the nations 00:17:46.859 --> 00:17:47.859 to God. 00:17:52.660 --> 00:17:54.339 If they obey the law, 00:17:54.620 --> 00:17:55.579 their society 00:17:55.579 --> 00:17:57.059 would just be so different 00:17:57.059 --> 00:17:58.660 from every other society 00:17:58.660 --> 00:17:59.359 on earth. 00:18:02.019 --> 00:18:03.059 Their calling 00:18:03.059 --> 00:18:03.900 is to attract 00:18:03.900 --> 00:18:05.140 the nations to God, 00:18:05.480 --> 00:18:06.259 to show the world 00:18:06.259 --> 00:18:07.359 a radically different way. 00:18:08.920 --> 00:18:10.240 So treasured possession 00:18:10.240 --> 00:18:12.160 is why they should obey. 00:18:12.660 --> 00:18:14.019 To draw the nations 00:18:14.019 --> 00:18:15.500 to God 00:18:15.500 --> 00:18:16.620 as a kingdom of priests 00:18:16.620 --> 00:18:18.700 being so different 00:18:18.700 --> 00:18:20.440 from every other culture 00:18:20.440 --> 00:18:21.019 that lives. 00:18:21.019 --> 00:18:27.920 God wants to be known 00:18:27.920 --> 00:18:29.559 first by Israel 00:18:29.559 --> 00:18:30.779 and then all the world. 00:18:34.460 --> 00:18:35.879 That's really good news 00:18:35.879 --> 00:18:36.940 that God wants to be known. 00:18:37.240 --> 00:18:38.440 We see here 00:18:38.440 --> 00:18:40.240 he wants to make 00:18:40.240 --> 00:18:40.799 a covenant. 00:18:43.220 --> 00:18:44.400 This isn't just 00:18:44.400 --> 00:18:45.460 head knowledge about God. 00:18:45.519 --> 00:18:45.900 He wants 00:18:45.900 --> 00:18:48.500 covenant binding 00:18:48.500 --> 00:18:49.299 commitment 00:18:49.299 --> 00:18:50.200 like a marriage. 00:18:51.019 --> 00:18:54.119 Now instead of signing 00:18:54.119 --> 00:18:54.900 the marriage 00:18:54.900 --> 00:18:55.920 certificate 00:18:55.920 --> 00:18:57.240 at the end 00:18:57.240 --> 00:18:57.879 of this covenant 00:18:57.879 --> 00:18:58.920 in chapter 24 00:18:58.920 --> 00:19:00.339 they sacrifice 00:19:00.339 --> 00:19:01.000 animals 00:19:01.000 --> 00:19:02.119 and Moses 00:19:02.119 --> 00:19:02.920 gets the blood 00:19:02.920 --> 00:19:04.000 and sprinkles 00:19:04.000 --> 00:19:05.940 it. 00:19:08.440 --> 00:19:09.480 Sprinkles the blood 00:19:09.480 --> 00:19:10.059 on the people. 00:19:12.819 --> 00:19:14.599 It's quite a visual sign 00:19:14.599 --> 00:19:15.519 of God wants 00:19:15.519 --> 00:19:16.579 a binding 00:19:16.579 --> 00:19:17.759 commitment. 00:19:17.940 --> 00:19:18.740 The blood saying 00:19:18.740 --> 00:19:19.980 so be it done 00:19:19.980 --> 00:19:20.680 to me. 00:19:21.019 --> 00:19:22.720 if I break this. 00:19:28.279 --> 00:19:29.359 He wants 00:19:29.359 --> 00:19:30.519 binding commitment. 00:19:31.079 --> 00:19:31.639 He wants 00:19:31.639 --> 00:19:32.500 to be known. 00:19:32.639 --> 00:19:33.559 He's coming down. 00:19:34.460 --> 00:19:35.680 But we see 00:19:35.680 --> 00:19:36.700 here how hard 00:19:36.700 --> 00:19:37.379 it is 00:19:37.379 --> 00:19:38.700 for sinful people 00:19:38.700 --> 00:19:39.359 to get close 00:19:39.359 --> 00:19:39.900 to God. 00:19:39.900 --> 00:19:44.500 one of my first 00:19:44.500 --> 00:19:45.480 theology essays 00:19:45.480 --> 00:19:46.080 at Bible 00:19:46.080 --> 00:19:46.519 college 00:19:46.519 --> 00:19:48.340 I picked 00:19:48.340 --> 00:19:49.100 a subject 00:19:49.100 --> 00:19:49.680 a topic 00:19:49.680 --> 00:19:50.040 that 00:19:50.040 --> 00:19:51.540 some of my 00:19:51.540 --> 00:19:51.860 classmates 00:19:51.860 --> 00:19:53.140 didn't dare to pick 00:19:53.140 --> 00:19:54.100 and I think 00:19:54.100 --> 00:19:54.900 I was pretty smug 00:19:54.900 --> 00:19:55.220 and 00:19:55.220 --> 00:19:57.220 people were 00:19:57.220 --> 00:19:57.880 asking me 00:19:57.880 --> 00:19:58.240 while I was 00:19:58.240 --> 00:19:58.660 writing 00:19:58.660 --> 00:19:59.240 about my 00:19:59.240 --> 00:19:59.860 research 00:19:59.859 --> 00:20:02.159 then I got 00:20:02.159 --> 00:20:02.699 my mark 00:20:02.699 --> 00:20:03.099 back. 00:20:05.639 --> 00:20:06.339 I'm not 00:20:06.339 --> 00:20:06.699 going to tell 00:20:06.699 --> 00:20:07.259 you my mark 00:20:07.259 --> 00:20:07.579 but 00:20:07.579 --> 00:20:08.579 you might 00:20:08.579 --> 00:20:09.079 fire me 00:20:09.079 --> 00:20:09.259 but 00:20:09.259 --> 00:20:11.159 I was 00:20:11.159 --> 00:20:11.979 emotionally 00:20:11.979 --> 00:20:13.859 and psychologically 00:20:13.859 --> 00:20:14.679 crushed 00:20:14.679 --> 00:20:15.639 for weeks. 00:20:16.199 --> 00:20:16.659 It just 00:20:16.659 --> 00:20:17.359 put me 00:20:17.359 --> 00:20:18.159 into a spin. 00:20:18.160 --> 00:20:23.940 imagine if I 00:20:23.940 --> 00:20:24.840 came face 00:20:24.840 --> 00:20:25.519 to face 00:20:25.519 --> 00:20:27.279 with theology 00:20:27.279 --> 00:20:28.019 himself 00:20:28.019 --> 00:20:30.500 if a mark 00:20:30.500 --> 00:20:31.300 could do that 00:20:31.300 --> 00:20:31.680 to me. 00:20:34.180 --> 00:20:34.860 Imagine 00:20:34.860 --> 00:20:35.620 if God 00:20:35.620 --> 00:20:38.380 if I got 00:20:38.380 --> 00:20:39.180 close to God 00:20:39.180 -->
