WEBVTT

00:00:00.260 --> 00:00:04.500
 who has been with us the last couple of services and will be with us again this evening.

00:00:05.320 --> 00:00:10.320
 And we trust that he too will know God's blessing as he leads us in this worship of God.

00:00:10.660 --> 00:00:11.040
 Thank you.

00:00:15.320 --> 00:00:17.699
 Thank you very much. Thank you for your warm welcome.

00:00:17.940 --> 00:00:23.280
 What a joy it is to be with you, to be in a sense at home.

00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:32.679
 My watch has got artificial intelligence going on and it spoke to me when I left my mother's house today

00:00:32.679 --> 00:00:39.020
 and said it was three hours and 57 minutes to the Free North in Inverness.

00:00:39.719 --> 00:00:45.939
 I'm not sure if I can manage that in the little car, the VW that we have.

00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:48.400
 I don't think it'll work.

00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:55.560
 So artificial intelligence aside, we are glad to be together and in the house of God.

00:00:56.119 --> 00:01:03.359
 And wherever we are with God's people, with God's word, and with the help of God's spirit,

00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:09.280
 we are at home and we look forward to the Lord, our host,

00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:17.659
 welcoming us to his sign of the supper, to his table where he will feed us.

00:01:17.659 --> 00:01:21.799
 So let us lift up our hearts to God and worship today,

00:01:22.500 --> 00:01:27.099
 praising God in the words of Psalm 23 from Sing Psalms.

00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:32.019
 Psalm 23 in Sing Psalms, page 28.

00:01:33.039 --> 00:01:34.179
 The tune Tarwathi.

00:01:35.459 --> 00:01:37.739
 The Lord is my shepherd.

00:01:38.739 --> 00:01:40.620
 No want shall I know.

00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:46.340
 He makes me lie down where the green pastures grow.

00:01:46.340 --> 00:01:52.579
 He leads me to rest where the calm waters flow.

00:01:53.219 --> 00:01:56.400
 Let us stand and sing praise to our glorious shepherd.

00:01:57.180 --> 00:01:57.820
 Amen.

00:01:59.180 --> 00:02:06.140
 The Lord is my shepherd.

00:02:06.180 --> 00:02:10.460
 No want shall I know.

00:02:10.460 --> 00:02:19.460
 He makes me lie down where the green pastures grow.

00:02:19.460 --> 00:02:29.219
 He leads me to rest where the calm waters flow.

00:02:29.219 --> 00:02:40.379
 My wandering steps he brings back to his way.

00:02:40.379 --> 00:02:49.680
 In straight paths of righteousness making me stay.

00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:58.680
 And this he has done his great name to display.

00:02:58.680 --> 00:03:09.560
 Though I walk in death's valley where darkness is near.

00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:18.939
 Because you are with me, no evil I'll fear.

00:03:18.939 --> 00:03:28.560
 Your rod and your staff bring me comfort and cheer.

00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:38.900
 In the sight of my enemies a table you spread.

00:03:38.900 --> 00:03:48.180
 The oil of rejoicing you pour on my head.

00:03:48.180 --> 00:03:57.740
 My cup overflows and I'm graciously fed.

00:03:57.740 --> 00:04:07.740
 So surely your covenant mercy and grace

00:04:07.740 --> 00:04:16.920
 Will follow me closely in all of my ways.

00:04:16.920 --> 00:04:25.340
 I will dwell in the house of the Lord Almighty.

00:04:25.339 --> 00:04:27.339
 Jesus.

00:04:31.339 --> 00:04:36.759
 We can unite our hearts together in prayer as we come near to God.

00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:43.459
 Lord, our gracious God and our gracious and good shepherd,

00:04:44.219 --> 00:04:51.279
 we acknowledge our need of help today as we meet together for worship.

00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:56.779
 Draw near to us as you have promised in your word.

00:04:56.779 --> 00:05:02.079
 And grant to us the joy of our Savior Jesus Christ,

00:05:02.979 --> 00:05:07.739
 that shepherd of the sheep who died to unite his flock,

00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:14.659
 to cleanse them and to feed them with his own body and with his own blood.

00:05:14.660 --> 00:05:25.860
 We ask that we will not draw back in unbelief and that we will not be influenced by the tide of the times that we are living in.

00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:30.460
 To turn away from the Lord and from your word.

00:05:30.459 --> 00:05:39.439
 But help us to be open before the eye of the Lord and before the voice of the Lord,

00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:44.680
 that we might meet with God today and receive a blessing.

00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:50.220
 We bless the Lord for the gift of living bread,

00:05:50.860 --> 00:05:53.280
 the manna that has come down from heaven,

00:05:54.019 --> 00:05:55.079
 Jesus Christ,

00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:58.340
 and for the written word of God,

00:05:59.280 --> 00:06:01.740
 also living bread.

00:06:02.660 --> 00:06:06.120
 Nourish us with fellowship with yourself,

00:06:06.939 --> 00:06:09.860
 with fellowship with our Savior Jesus,

00:06:09.860 --> 00:06:18.180
 and with fellowship a shared life and love for one another and for all your people.

00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:24.860
 Be our teacher and increase our hunger and our thirst

00:06:24.860 --> 00:06:29.199
 for the one who is the way and the truth and the life.

00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:36.120
 And grant that we may delight in having the word of God broken for us,

00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:40.139
 so that we might feed on it and share it with others.

00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:44.480
 Give us a holy joy and a holy excitement,

00:06:45.160 --> 00:06:46.819
 a thrill in our hearts,

00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:50.879
 as we are reminded of truths we know already,

00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:53.439
 and as we learn, perhaps,

00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:57.220
 to see the truth afresh and anew,

00:06:57.860 --> 00:07:02.060
 and to learn new things about our great God and King.

00:07:02.060 --> 00:07:04.220
 We pray for the young,

00:07:05.019 --> 00:07:05.939
 for children,

00:07:06.300 --> 00:07:08.040
 for young adults,

00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:09.540
 for families,

00:07:09.860 --> 00:07:11.379
 and for every individual

00:07:11.379 --> 00:07:16.259
 who is part of the body of Christ in this place.

00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:21.459
 Bless this church as a light and a witness in this community,

00:07:22.459 --> 00:07:24.199
 the office bearers,

00:07:24.879 --> 00:07:25.519
 the ministers,

00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:27.279
 and their families,

00:07:27.279 --> 00:07:32.059
 and all who serve in different ministries and in different ways.

00:07:32.819 --> 00:07:33.759
 And even today,

00:07:34.159 --> 00:07:37.219
 we ask that the kingdom of God will advance.

00:07:38.259 --> 00:07:40.099
 We ask the blessing of heaven

00:07:40.099 --> 00:07:42.939
 on the Gallic section of the congregation,

00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:44.039
 meeting together,

00:07:44.739 --> 00:07:47.379
 on Mr. MacDonald as he leads their worship.

00:07:48.199 --> 00:07:51.719
 We pray blessing on every gospel church,

00:07:52.299 --> 00:07:54.239
 gathering as we do today,

00:07:54.739 --> 00:07:55.959
 across our nation,

00:07:55.959 --> 00:07:57.979
 and even in this community,

00:07:57.979 --> 00:08:03.359
 when other congregations are also remembering the Lord's death

00:08:03.359 --> 00:08:05.259
 until he come again.

00:08:05.859 --> 00:08:09.979
 We ask that the blessing we long for

00:08:09.979 --> 00:08:12.779
 will break out here

00:08:12.779 --> 00:08:15.139
 and in every place

00:08:15.139 --> 00:08:18.839
 where the Lord's people seek his face.

00:08:19.539 --> 00:08:23.279
 Show us how to help and encourage one another

00:08:23.279 --> 00:08:26.219
 and how to pray for one another

00:08:26.219 --> 00:08:31.619
 and how to pray for different fellowships and congregations

00:08:31.619 --> 00:08:35.799
 that each might thrive to the glory of God.

00:08:36.659 --> 00:08:38.919
 We remember the sick and the suffering.

00:08:39.779 --> 00:08:43.199
 We remember those with burdens and concerns today.

00:08:44.159 --> 00:08:45.959
 Comfort those who are grieving

00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:48.540
 and bring near to us

00:08:48.540 --> 00:08:52.379
 the face of the one that we love

00:08:52.379 --> 00:08:55.160
 and that we look forward to seeing

00:08:55.160 --> 00:09:00.080
 when he comes in his might and power and glory.

00:09:00.940 --> 00:09:02.460
 May we welcome him.

00:09:03.400 --> 00:09:07.080
 We recognize that many have gone before us

00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:10.320
 and that they sleep in Jesus

00:09:10.320 --> 00:09:14.639
 waiting for the day of his glorious appearing.

00:09:15.420 --> 00:09:17.920
 They already see his face

00:09:17.920 --> 00:09:21.220
 but they await the resurrection

00:09:21.220 --> 00:09:24.320
 and all the joy that that will bring.

00:09:25.139 --> 00:09:27.259
 May we share in the hope

00:09:27.259 --> 00:09:30.240
 of the church through ages past

00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:32.419
 that in Jesus Christ

00:09:32.419 --> 00:09:36.500
 death is swallowed up in victory.

00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:39.139
 May we have no fear today.

00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:41.620
 May we not be disturbed

00:09:41.620 --> 00:09:44.139
 by the work of the wicked one

00:09:44.139 --> 00:09:48.720
 but may we know that supernatural grace and peace

00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:51.000
 that flows from the one

00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:53.639
 who was wounded for us,

00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:56.139
 who was crushed for us

00:09:56.139 --> 00:09:58.639
 and who conquered death

00:09:58.639 --> 00:10:00.480
 and was raised

00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:02.360
 on the third day.

00:10:03.379 --> 00:10:05.039
 Lord, where there is darkness,

00:10:05.819 --> 00:10:07.299
 shine your light.

00:10:08.220 --> 00:10:09.799
 Lord, where there is fear,

00:10:10.720 --> 00:10:11.840
 bring your peace

00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:14.080
 and grant that today

00:10:14.080 --> 00:10:17.000
 will be a day that we will remember

00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:18.960
 for meeting

00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:21.179
 the Lord Jesus.

00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:23.899
 Bless us and keep us

00:10:23.899 --> 00:10:27.459
 and we pray through Jesus Christ

00:10:27.459 --> 00:10:30.840
 seeking peace and pardon.

00:10:31.959 --> 00:10:32.600
 Amen.

00:10:35.959 --> 00:10:37.059
 Boys and girls,

00:10:37.159 --> 00:10:38.600
 I'm not going to take long

00:10:38.600 --> 00:10:39.899
 to speak to you today.

00:10:40.019 --> 00:10:41.360
 It's just lovely to see

00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:43.620
 children and young people here.

00:10:44.059 --> 00:10:46.019
 I grew up in this church

00:10:46.019 --> 00:10:49.000
 and it was about 40 years ago

00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:50.659
 when I was 15

00:10:50.659 --> 00:10:53.779
 that I first was helped

00:10:53.779 --> 00:10:55.959
 to sit at the Lord's table

00:10:55.959 --> 00:10:59.159
 and begin to know something

00:10:59.159 --> 00:11:02.459
 of growing in the knowledge of God

00:11:02.459 --> 00:11:04.719
 through the things that were being taught.

00:11:05.319 --> 00:11:06.600
 But that didn't happen

00:11:06.600 --> 00:11:08.600
 without lots of people helping

00:11:08.600 --> 00:11:10.000
 and praying for me

00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:11.259
 as a child,

00:11:11.839 --> 00:11:13.519
 family and Sunday school

00:11:13.519 --> 00:11:14.539
 and what have you.

00:11:15.019 --> 00:11:16.559
 And I want to thank God

00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:18.299
 for all those people

00:11:18.299 --> 00:11:20.659
 who taught me

00:11:20.659 --> 00:11:21.799
 the way of Jesus.

00:11:22.059 --> 00:11:23.519
 And I am sure

00:11:23.519 --> 00:11:24.319
 there are people

00:11:24.319 --> 00:11:25.399
 teaching you

00:11:25.399 --> 00:11:26.839
 the way of Jesus

00:11:26.839 --> 00:11:27.679
 as well.

00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:29.119
 Some of you

00:11:29.119 --> 00:11:30.139
 will be Christians,

00:11:30.359 --> 00:11:31.759
 you will be believers,

00:11:31.939 --> 00:11:32.959
 maybe very young

00:11:32.959 --> 00:11:35.179
 and that's a wonderful thing.

00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:36.539
 And it's good

00:11:36.539 --> 00:11:37.919
 to tell other people

00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:39.639
 when we are praying

00:11:39.639 --> 00:11:41.139
 and when we know

00:11:41.139 --> 00:11:42.199
 that God is hearing

00:11:42.199 --> 00:11:43.000
 our prayers.

00:11:43.500 --> 00:11:44.219
 And it's good

00:11:44.220 --> 00:11:45.600
 to ask for help

00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:47.519
 but most of all

00:11:47.519 --> 00:11:48.560
 it's good

00:11:48.560 --> 00:11:49.879
 to ask the Lord himself

00:11:49.879 --> 00:11:51.019
 to show us

00:11:51.019 --> 00:11:52.660
 the next steps

00:11:52.660 --> 00:11:53.800
 and the way

00:11:53.800 --> 00:11:55.060
 that we are to

00:11:55.060 --> 00:11:56.480
 glorify him.

00:11:57.279 --> 00:11:58.200
 And that might be

00:11:58.200 --> 00:11:59.759
 even as a child

00:11:59.759 --> 00:12:00.960
 or a young person

00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:02.519
 finding out

00:12:02.519 --> 00:12:03.660
 what it means

00:12:03.660 --> 00:12:04.379
 to belong

00:12:04.379 --> 00:12:06.000
 to God's people

00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:07.399
 as a member,

00:12:07.700 --> 00:12:08.980
 as a professing

00:12:08.980 --> 00:12:09.940
 Christian

00:12:09.940 --> 00:12:10.779
 and follower

00:12:10.779 --> 00:12:12.320
 of Jesus.

00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:13.879
 That happened

00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:14.539
 for me

00:12:14.539 --> 00:12:16.439
 40 years ago

00:12:16.439 --> 00:12:18.100
 in this church.

00:12:19.000 --> 00:12:20.120
 You can do the maths

00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:20.740
 and you'll know

00:12:20.740 --> 00:12:21.639
 how old I am.

00:12:22.580 --> 00:12:22.980
 But

00:12:22.980 --> 00:12:25.179
 I am thankful

00:12:25.179 --> 00:12:26.840
 that God

00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:28.299
 has never

00:12:28.299 --> 00:12:29.360
 taken his eye

00:12:29.360 --> 00:12:30.460
 off

00:12:30.460 --> 00:12:32.299
 that boy

00:12:32.299 --> 00:12:33.519
 who became

00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:34.039
 a man.

00:12:34.980 --> 00:12:35.899
 And if you

00:12:35.899 --> 00:12:36.580
 are walking

00:12:36.580 --> 00:12:37.519
 with Jesus,

00:12:38.019 --> 00:12:39.340
 girl or boy,

00:12:39.899 --> 00:12:40.879
 whatever stage

00:12:40.879 --> 00:12:41.460
 you're at,

00:12:41.460 --> 00:12:43.200
 God will never

00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:44.660
 take his eye

00:12:44.660 --> 00:12:46.120
 off you.

00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:47.860
 You can trust him.

00:12:48.660 --> 00:12:49.960
 And we pray together

00:12:49.960 --> 00:12:51.160
 the words

00:12:51.160 --> 00:12:51.780
 that Jesus

00:12:51.780 --> 00:12:52.620
 gave us.

00:12:52.620 --> 00:12:54.620
 our Father,

00:12:55.200 --> 00:12:56.560
 which art in heaven,

00:12:57.179 --> 00:12:58.539
 hallowed be thy name.

00:12:59.139 --> 00:13:00.379
 Thy kingdom come.

00:13:01.179 --> 00:13:02.620
 Thy will be done

00:13:02.620 --> 00:13:03.560
 on earth

00:13:03.560 --> 00:13:04.600
 as it is

00:13:04.600 --> 00:13:05.320
 in heaven.

00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:07.320
 Give us this day

00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:08.600
 our daily bread

00:13:08.600 --> 00:13:10.279
 and forgive us

00:13:10.279 --> 00:13:11.080
 our debts

00:13:11.080 --> 00:13:12.259
 as we

00:13:12.259 --> 00:13:13.039
 forgive

00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:14.139
 our debtors.

00:13:14.779 --> 00:13:15.960
 And lead us not

00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:17.120
 into temptation,

00:13:17.779 --> 00:13:18.919
 but deliver us

00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:19.740
 from evil.

00:13:19.740 --> 00:13:21.299
 for thine

00:13:21.299 --> 00:13:22.360
 is the kingdom,

00:13:23.039 --> 00:13:23.759
 the power

00:13:23.759 --> 00:13:25.259
 and the glory

00:13:25.259 --> 00:13:26.500
 forever.

00:13:27.240 --> 00:13:27.919
 Amen.

00:13:29.060 --> 00:13:30.139
 I believe

00:13:30.139 --> 00:13:30.620
 the children

00:13:30.620 --> 00:13:31.440
 are coming back

00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:32.340
 into church

00:13:32.340 --> 00:13:33.440
 at the end

00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:34.259
 of our service

00:13:34.259 --> 00:13:35.759
 and we pray

00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:36.759
 God's blessing

00:13:36.759 --> 00:13:38.080
 on all you do

00:13:38.080 --> 00:13:38.820
 and learn

00:13:38.820 --> 00:13:39.480
 together.

00:13:40.100 --> 00:13:40.840
 We are going

00:13:40.840 --> 00:13:41.720
 to sing,

00:13:42.259 --> 00:13:42.720
 we're going to

00:13:42.720 --> 00:13:43.519
 read God's word

00:13:43.519 --> 00:13:44.580
 now in John's

00:13:44.580 --> 00:13:45.000
 Gospel,

00:13:45.200 --> 00:13:46.200
 chapter 19.

00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:46.820
 John,

00:13:47.320 --> 00:13:48.720
 chapter 19.

00:13:49.740 --> 00:13:51.980
 On Friday

00:13:51.980 --> 00:13:52.360
 evening,

00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:53.240
 Saturday evening,

00:13:53.840 --> 00:13:54.399
 we began

00:13:54.399 --> 00:13:55.039
 to work

00:13:55.039 --> 00:13:55.659
 our way

00:13:55.659 --> 00:13:56.120
 through

00:13:56.120 --> 00:13:57.320
 this great

00:13:57.320 --> 00:13:57.759
 chapter

00:13:57.759 --> 00:13:58.680
 that speaks

00:13:58.680 --> 00:13:59.399
 of Christ

00:13:59.399 --> 00:14:00.299
 on the cross.

00:14:01.519 --> 00:14:02.639
 We saw

00:14:02.639 --> 00:14:03.019
 him

00:14:03.019 --> 00:14:04.580
 as

00:14:04.580 --> 00:14:06.320
 the man

00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:07.560
 being presented

00:14:07.560 --> 00:14:09.240
 to Jerusalem

00:14:09.240 --> 00:14:10.919
 by Pontius Pilate.

00:14:11.180 --> 00:14:12.039
 Did they want him?

00:14:12.600 --> 00:14:13.220
 Did they want

00:14:13.220 --> 00:14:13.639
 Jesus

00:14:13.639 --> 00:14:15.180
 for their king?

00:14:15.299 --> 00:14:16.139
 Behold the man,

00:14:16.259 --> 00:14:17.100
 behold the king.

00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:18.639
 And they were

00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:19.539
 rejecting him.

00:14:19.740 --> 00:14:21.240
 We saw him

00:14:21.240 --> 00:14:22.060
 as the son,

00:14:23.019 --> 00:14:23.720
 God's son

00:14:23.720 --> 00:14:24.680
 and Mary's son,

00:14:25.440 --> 00:14:26.120
 but also

00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:26.820
 as the one

00:14:26.820 --> 00:14:27.720
 who carries

00:14:27.720 --> 00:14:29.279
 shame

00:14:29.279 --> 00:14:31.039
 to the cross.

00:14:31.879 --> 00:14:32.779
 And today,

00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:33.779
 we are going

00:14:33.779 --> 00:14:34.399
 to see him

00:14:34.399 --> 00:14:35.120
 on the cross

00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:35.700
 dying,

00:14:36.299 --> 00:14:37.360
 so behold

00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:38.120
 today,

00:14:38.899 --> 00:14:40.000
 behold the one

00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:40.680
 they have

00:14:40.680 --> 00:14:41.700
 pierced.

00:14:42.220 --> 00:14:42.879
 And that

00:14:42.879 --> 00:14:43.360
 scripture

00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:44.620
 is in John

00:14:44.620 --> 00:14:45.320
 19

00:14:45.320 --> 00:14:46.480
 from verse

00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:47.360
 28

00:14:47.360 --> 00:14:48.399
 onwards.

00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:51.179
 Then they

00:14:51.179 --> 00:14:52.079
 led Jesus

00:14:52.079 --> 00:14:53.620
 from,

00:14:53.819 --> 00:14:54.919
 I beg your

00:14:54.919 --> 00:14:55.159
 pardon,

00:14:55.279 --> 00:14:56.819
 John 19

00:14:56.819 --> 00:14:58.199
 and verse

00:14:58.199 --> 00:14:59.000
 20,

00:14:59.240 --> 00:15:00.019
 28.

00:15:00.480 --> 00:15:01.340
 After this,

00:15:01.439 --> 00:15:01.699
 Jesus,

00:15:01.939 --> 00:15:02.759
 knowing that

00:15:02.759 --> 00:15:03.519
 all was now

00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:04.039
 finished,

00:15:04.179 --> 00:15:04.519
 said,

00:15:04.779 --> 00:15:05.620
 to fulfill

00:15:05.620 --> 00:15:06.360
 the scripture,

00:15:06.360 --> 00:15:09.100
 I thirst.

00:15:10.100 --> 00:15:11.060
 A jar full

00:15:11.060 --> 00:15:11.820
 of sour

00:15:11.820 --> 00:15:12.940
 wine stood

00:15:12.940 --> 00:15:13.399
 there.

00:15:14.039 --> 00:15:14.700
 So they put

00:15:14.700 --> 00:15:15.580
 a sponge

00:15:15.580 --> 00:15:16.539
 full of the

00:15:16.539 --> 00:15:17.399
 sour wine

00:15:17.399 --> 00:15:18.759
 on a hyssop

00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:19.340
 branch

00:15:19.340 --> 00:15:20.779
 and held

00:15:20.779 --> 00:15:22.000
 it to

00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:22.779
 his mouth.

00:15:23.779 --> 00:15:24.820
 When Jesus

00:15:24.820 --> 00:15:26.340
 had received

00:15:26.340 --> 00:15:27.060
 the sour

00:15:27.060 --> 00:15:27.639
 wine,

00:15:28.639 --> 00:15:29.480
 he said,

00:15:29.480 --> 00:15:31.659
 it is

00:15:31.659 --> 00:15:32.159
 finished.

00:15:33.800 --> 00:15:34.600
 And he

00:15:34.600 --> 00:15:35.220
 bowed his

00:15:35.220 --> 00:15:35.600
 head

00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:37.460
 and gave

00:15:37.460 --> 00:15:37.800
 up

00:15:37.800 --> 00:15:38.899
 his

00:15:38.899 --> 00:15:39.360
 spirit.

00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:42.000
 Since it

00:15:42.000 --> 00:15:42.659
 was the

00:15:42.659 --> 00:15:43.039
 day

00:15:43.039 --> 00:15:43.860
 of

00:15:43.860 --> 00:15:44.620
 preparation

00:15:44.620 --> 00:15:46.039
 and so

00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:46.360
 that the

00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:46.720
 bodies

00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:47.240
 would not

00:15:47.240 --> 00:15:47.759
 remain on

00:15:47.759 --> 00:15:48.320
 the cross

00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:48.740
 on the

00:15:48.740 --> 00:15:49.039
 Sabbath,

00:15:49.700 --> 00:15:50.259
 for that

00:15:50.259 --> 00:15:50.920
 Sabbath was

00:15:50.920 --> 00:15:51.519
 a high

00:15:51.519 --> 00:15:51.940
 day,

00:15:52.820 --> 00:15:53.300
 the Jews

00:15:53.300 --> 00:15:53.680
 asked

00:15:53.680 --> 00:15:54.180
 Pilate

00:15:54.180 --> 00:15:54.980
 that their

00:15:54.980 --> 00:15:55.639
 legs might

00:15:55.639 --> 00:15:56.360
 be broken

00:15:56.360 --> 00:15:57.879
 and that

00:15:57.879 --> 00:15:58.379
 they might

00:15:58.379 --> 00:15:59.100
 be taken

00:15:59.100 --> 00:15:59.840
 away.

00:16:00.899 --> 00:16:01.480
 So the

00:16:01.480 --> 00:16:02.279
 soldiers came

00:16:02.279 --> 00:16:02.759
 and broke

00:16:02.759 --> 00:16:03.279
 the legs

00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:03.600
 of the

00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:04.779
 first and

00:16:04.779 --> 00:16:05.220
 of the

00:16:05.220 --> 00:16:06.000
 other who

00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:06.379
 had been

00:16:06.379 --> 00:16:06.820
 crucified

00:16:06.820 --> 00:16:07.620
 with him.

00:16:08.419 --> 00:16:08.919
 But when

00:16:08.919 --> 00:16:09.440
 they came

00:16:09.440 --> 00:16:10.039
 to Jesus

00:16:10.039 --> 00:16:10.700
 and saw

00:16:10.700 --> 00:16:11.019
 that he

00:16:11.019 --> 00:16:11.639
 was already

00:16:11.639 --> 00:16:12.159
 dead,

00:16:12.960 --> 00:16:13.440
 they did

00:16:13.440 --> 00:16:14.480
 not break

00:16:14.480 --> 00:16:15.360
 his legs.

00:16:16.259 --> 00:16:16.740
 But one

00:16:16.740 --> 00:16:17.039
 of the

00:16:17.039 --> 00:16:17.580
 soldiers

00:16:17.580 --> 00:16:18.259
 pierced

00:16:18.259 --> 00:16:19.240
 his side

00:16:19.240 --> 00:16:20.460
 with a

00:16:20.460 --> 00:16:21.060
 spear,

00:16:22.080 --> 00:16:22.539
 and at

00:16:22.539 --> 00:16:23.120
 once

00:16:23.120 --> 00:16:24.480
 there came

00:16:24.480 --> 00:16:24.980
 out

00:16:24.980 --> 00:16:26.340
 blood

00:16:26.340 --> 00:16:28.019
 and

00:16:28.019 --> 00:16:29.660
 water.

00:16:31.320 --> 00:16:32.040
 He who

00:16:32.040 --> 00:16:32.680
 saw it

00:16:32.680 --> 00:16:34.120
 has borne

00:16:34.120 --> 00:16:34.840
 witness.

00:16:36.080 --> 00:16:36.560
 His

00:16:36.560 --> 00:16:37.360
 testimony

00:16:37.360 --> 00:16:38.820
 is

00:16:38.820 --> 00:16:39.360
 true,

00:16:40.080 --> 00:16:40.899
 and he

00:16:40.899 --> 00:16:41.480
 knows

00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:41.980
 that he

00:16:41.980 --> 00:16:42.600
 is telling

00:16:42.600 --> 00:16:43.560
 the truth,

00:16:44.379 --> 00:16:45.240
 that you

00:16:45.240 --> 00:16:46.840
 also may

00:16:46.840 --> 00:16:47.940
 believe.

00:16:49.139 --> 00:16:49.980
 For these

00:16:49.980 --> 00:16:50.759
 things took

00:16:50.759 --> 00:16:51.379
 place,

00:16:51.759 --> 00:16:52.340
 that the

00:16:52.340 --> 00:16:52.920
 scripture

00:16:52.920 --> 00:16:53.900
 might be

00:16:53.900 --> 00:16:54.639
 fulfilled,

00:16:55.139 --> 00:16:55.759
 not

00:16:55.759 --> 00:16:57.179
 one of

00:16:57.179 --> 00:16:58.120
 his bones

00:16:58.120 --> 00:16:58.840
 will be

00:16:58.840 --> 00:16:59.399
 broken.

00:17:00.439 --> 00:17:01.340
 And again,

00:17:01.679 --> 00:17:02.259
 another

00:17:02.259 --> 00:17:02.960
 scripture

00:17:02.960 --> 00:17:03.799
 says,

00:17:04.660 --> 00:17:05.660
 they will

00:17:05.660 --> 00:17:06.400
 look

00:17:06.400 --> 00:17:08.019
 on him

00:17:08.019 --> 00:17:09.619
 whom

00:17:09.619 --> 00:17:10.119
 they

00:17:10.119 --> 00:17:11.539
 have

00:17:11.539 --> 00:17:12.420
 pierced.

00:17:13.480 --> 00:17:14.680
 This is

00:17:14.680 --> 00:17:15.180
 the word

00:17:15.180 --> 00:17:15.500
 of the

00:17:15.500 --> 00:17:15.900
 Lord,

00:17:16.519 --> 00:17:17.359
 holy and

00:17:17.359 --> 00:17:17.960
 inspired.

00:17:18.619 --> 00:17:19.799
 Thanks be

00:17:19.799 --> 00:17:20.419
 to God.

00:17:22.419 --> 00:17:23.259
 We sing

00:17:23.259 --> 00:17:23.659
 praises

00:17:23.659 --> 00:17:24.240
 from

00:17:24.240 --> 00:17:25.799
 Psalm 40

00:17:25.799 --> 00:17:26.119

 Sing

00:17:29.039 --> 00:17:29.419
 Sing

00:17:29.419 --> 00:17:30.159
 Psalms,

00:17:30.700 --> 00:17:31.099
 and we're

00:17:31.099 --> 00:17:31.680
 taking up

00:17:31.680 --> 00:17:32.180
 the singing

 at verse

00:17:32.680 --> 00:17:33.299
 13.

00:17:34.159 --> 00:17:34.799
 The tune is

00:17:34.799 --> 00:17:35.519
 Herongate,

00:17:35.659 --> 00:17:36.599

00:17:37.259 --> 00:17:37.799

00:17:40.259 --> 00:17:41.279

00:17:48.279 --> 00:17:48.539

00:17:48.539 --> 00:17:48.939
 Shall we

00:17:48.939 --> 00:17:49.539
 stand and

00:17:49.539 --> 00:17:50.299
 sing in

00:17:57.700 --> 00:17:59.200

 O Lord,

00:18:25.500 --> 00:18:26.839
 shame

00:18:26.839 --> 00:18:27.740

00:18:27.740 --> 00:18:29.299
 turmoil

00:18:29.299 --> 00:18:30.819
 be

00:18:30.819 --> 00:18:34.240
 repaid.

00:18:35.000 --> 00:18:35.620
 May

00:18:35.620 --> 00:18:37.440
 all

00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:38.079

00:18:48.119 --> 00:18:50.119
 the way

00:18:50.119 --> 00:18:51.119
 they

00:18:51.119 --> 00:18:53.119
 came

00:18:53.119 --> 00:18:54.119
 me

00:18:54.119 --> 00:18:55.119
 to

00:18:55.119 --> 00:18:56.119
 my

00:18:56.119 --> 00:18:58.119
 face

00:18:58.119 --> 00:18:59.119
 be

00:18:59.119 --> 00:19:01.119
 come

00:19:01.119 --> 00:19:02.119
 upon

00:19:02.119 --> 00:19:04.119
 not

00:19:04.119 --> 00:19:05.119
 their

00:19:05.119 --> 00:19:06.119
 own

00:19:06.119 --> 00:19:08.119
 shame

00:19:08.119 --> 00:19:10.119
 but

 let

00:19:11.119 --> 00:19:12.119
 all

00:19:13.119 --> 00:19:14.119
 who

00:19:14.119 --> 00:19:16.119
 seek

00:19:16.119 --> 00:19:21.119
 your

00:19:21.119 --> 00:19:22.119
 face

00:19:24.119 --> 00:19:25.119
 joyful

00:19:25.119 --> 00:19:27.119
 in

00:19:27.119 --> 00:19:28.119
 you

00:19:28.119 --> 00:19:29.119
 all

00:19:29.119 --> 00:19:30.119
 their

 days

00:19:32.119 --> 00:19:33.119
 let

 those

00:19:35.119 --> 00:19:36.119
 who

00:19:36.119 --> 00:19:37.119
 love

00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:39.119
 salvation

00:19:39.119 --> 00:19:41.119
 say

00:19:41.119 --> 00:19:43.119
 exalted

00:19:43.119 --> 00:19:44.119
 be

00:19:44.119 --> 00:19:47.119
 the

00:19:47.119 --> 00:19:49.119
 Lord

00:19:49.119 --> 00:19:51.119
 always

00:19:51.119 --> 00:19:53.119
 yet

00:19:53.119 --> 00:19:55.119
 I

00:19:55.119 --> 00:19:56.119
 am

00:19:56.119 --> 00:19:57.119
 poor

00:19:57.119 --> 00:19:58.119
 and

00:19:58.119 --> 00:19:59.119
 in

00:19:59.119 --> 00:20:00.119
 great

00:20:00.119 --> 00:20:01.119
 need

00:20:01.119 --> 00:20:02.119
 need

00:20:02.119 --> 00:20:03.119
 Lord

00:20:03.119 --> 00:20:04.119
 take

00:20:04.119 --> 00:20:05.119
 on

00:20:05.119 --> 00:20:06.119
 me

00:20:06.119 --> 00:20:07.119
 I

00:20:07.119 --> 00:20:09.119
 humbly

00:20:09.119 --> 00:20:11.119
 pray

00:20:11.119 --> 00:20:12.119
 you

00:20:12.119 --> 00:20:13.119
 are

00:20:13.119 --> 00:20:14.119
 my

00:20:14.119 --> 00:20:15.119
 savior

00:20:15.119 --> 00:20:17.119
 and

00:20:17.119 --> 00:20:18.119
 my

00:20:18.119 --> 00:20:19.119
 help

00:20:19.119 --> 00:20:21.119
 come

00:20:21.119 --> 00:20:22.119
 oh

00:20:22.119 --> 00:20:24.119
 my

00:20:24.119 --> 00:20:25.119
 God

00:20:25.119 --> 00:20:27.119
 do

00:20:27.119 --> 00:20:28.119
 not

00:20:28.119 --> 00:20:29.119
 delay

00:20:29.119 --> 00:20:30.119
 do

00:20:30.119 --> 00:20:31.119
 not

00:20:31.119 --> 00:20:32.119
 delay

00:20:32.119 --> 00:20:37.119
 at this

00:20:37.119 --> 00:20:53.119
 point we're going to focus on God's word for the next little while in the gospel of John and in chapter 19 be helpful to have that portion of God's word open the story of our savior

00:20:53.119 --> 00:20:55.119
 on the cross

00:20:55.119 --> 00:20:57.119
 on the cross

00:20:57.119 --> 00:20:59.119
 on the tree behold the one

00:20:59.119 --> 00:21:00.119
 they have

00:21:00.119 --> 00:21:01.119
 they have

00:21:01.119 --> 00:21:03.119
 pierced

00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:13.119
 I don't know if you've ever worked out how many days or weeks you have been alive

00:21:13.119 --> 00:21:18.119
 it might be a strange thing to do but we know that the Lord Jesus life

00:21:18.119 --> 00:21:24.119
 was cut short at around 33 years of age

00:21:24.119 --> 00:21:46.119
 even that in the ancient world was a reasonable life span he was not old when he died but he had lived for over 30 years and that amounts to about 1700 weeks but the Bible

00:21:46.119 --> 00:21:48.119
 but the Bible

00:21:48.119 --> 00:21:52.119
 tells the story in great detail

00:21:52.119 --> 00:21:54.119
 of only one of those weeks

00:21:54.119 --> 00:21:56.119
 of only one of those weeks

00:21:56.119 --> 00:21:58.119
 he lived for over 30 years

00:21:58.119 --> 00:22:02.119
 but the Bible focuses

00:22:02.119 --> 00:22:04.119
 on his last week

00:22:04.119 --> 00:22:06.119
 and especially on his last day

00:22:06.119 --> 00:22:08.119
 and especially on his last hours

00:22:08.119 --> 00:22:10.119
 and especially on his last hours

00:22:10.119 --> 00:22:14.119
 because the central story of the scripture

00:22:14.119 --> 00:22:20.119
 is that the God who came among us the word who was made flesh died

00:22:20.119 --> 00:22:24.119
 suffered and died

00:22:24.119 --> 00:22:28.119
 tested death

00:22:28.119 --> 00:22:34.119
 that is where all four gospels head

00:22:34.119 --> 00:22:36.119
 about a third of Matthew

00:22:36.119 --> 00:22:38.119
 Mark and Luke and John

00:22:38.119 --> 00:22:40.119
 is devoted to the last week

00:22:40.119 --> 00:22:42.119
 and last day

00:22:42.119 --> 00:22:44.119
 and last hours

00:22:44.119 --> 00:22:46.119
 of the life of Jesus

00:22:46.119 --> 00:22:48.119
 the very heart

00:22:48.119 --> 00:22:50.119
 of our faith

00:22:50.119 --> 00:22:52.119
 is that our God

00:22:52.119 --> 00:22:54.119
 took our flesh

00:22:54.119 --> 00:22:56.119
 and died

00:22:56.119 --> 00:22:58.119
 for his people

00:22:58.119 --> 00:23:02.119
 we have been commanded by Jesus

00:23:02.119 --> 00:23:04.119
 in the sign of the Lord's Supper

00:23:04.119 --> 00:23:08.119
 to remember his death

00:23:08.119 --> 00:23:12.119
 we could have been given a sign

00:23:12.119 --> 00:23:14.119
 to remember his birth

00:23:14.119 --> 00:23:16.119
 and that he took flesh

00:23:16.119 --> 00:23:18.119
 but that is not what we were given

00:23:18.119 --> 00:23:22.119
 there are two gospel signs

00:23:22.119 --> 00:23:24.119
 that bind us together

00:23:24.119 --> 00:23:26.119
 as the covenant people of God

00:23:26.119 --> 00:23:30.119
 the sign of baptism

00:23:30.119 --> 00:23:32.119
 using water

00:23:32.119 --> 00:23:34.119
 a sign of washing

00:23:34.119 --> 00:23:37.119
 and using bread and wine

00:23:37.119 --> 00:23:40.119
 in the supper of the lamb

00:23:40.119 --> 00:23:42.119
 a reminder of his body

00:23:42.119 --> 00:23:43.119
 and his blood

00:23:43.119 --> 00:23:44.119
 and of his death

00:23:44.119 --> 00:23:47.119
 but both those signs

00:23:47.119 --> 00:23:50.119
 both baptism and communion

00:23:50.119 --> 00:23:53.119
 are reminders of the cross

00:23:53.119 --> 00:23:55.119
 they are reminders

00:23:55.119 --> 00:23:58.119
 that we need to be washed and cleansed

00:23:58.119 --> 00:24:00.119
 and receive new life

00:24:00.119 --> 00:24:02.119
 and we need to be joined

00:24:02.119 --> 00:24:04.119
 to be joined

00:24:04.119 --> 00:24:05.119
 to the people of God

00:24:05.119 --> 00:24:07.119
 and become members of his body

00:24:07.119 --> 00:24:09.119
 parts of his body

00:24:09.119 --> 00:24:13.119
 these two gospel signs

00:24:14.119 --> 00:24:16.119
 are both connected

00:24:17.119 --> 00:24:18.119
 to the cross

00:24:19.119 --> 00:24:21.119
 and to the work of salvation

00:24:21.119 --> 00:24:22.119
 of redemption

00:24:22.119 --> 00:24:24.119
 right through history

00:24:25.119 --> 00:24:26.119
 there are so many connections

00:24:27.119 --> 00:24:28.119
 with the exodus

00:24:28.119 --> 00:24:29.119
 with the way God

00:24:29.119 --> 00:24:30.119
 revealed himself

00:24:30.119 --> 00:24:31.119
 in the old covenant

00:24:31.119 --> 00:24:32.119
 in the old covenant

00:24:32.119 --> 00:24:33.119
 in the old testament

00:24:33.119 --> 00:24:34.119
 and with all the acts

00:24:34.119 --> 00:24:36.119
 of the Holy Spirit

00:24:36.119 --> 00:24:38.119
 in the new testament

00:24:38.119 --> 00:24:40.119
 I want us to see

00:24:40.119 --> 00:24:42.119
 three things this morning

00:24:42.119 --> 00:24:43.119
 in our message

00:24:43.119 --> 00:24:45.119
 and the first is to focus

00:24:45.119 --> 00:24:48.119
 on Jesus' last words

00:24:48.119 --> 00:24:50.119
 Jesus' last words

00:24:50.119 --> 00:24:52.119
 then we will think

00:24:52.119 --> 00:24:54.119
 about Jesus' last strength

00:24:54.119 --> 00:24:56.119
 and then we will think

00:24:56.119 --> 00:24:58.119
 Jesus' last gift

00:24:58.119 --> 00:24:59.119
 to us

00:24:59.119 --> 00:25:03.119
 so Jesus' last words

00:25:03.119 --> 00:25:05.119
 they are recorded for us

00:25:05.119 --> 00:25:07.119
 in John's gospel

00:25:07.119 --> 00:25:08.119
 and in the short reading

00:25:08.119 --> 00:25:09.119
 that we had today

00:25:09.119 --> 00:25:13.119
 we saw that Jesus was conscious

00:25:13.119 --> 00:25:15.119
 that everything was now

00:25:15.119 --> 00:25:18.119
 finished, fulfilled

00:25:19.119 --> 00:25:21.119
 and he said to fulfill scripture

00:25:21.119 --> 00:25:23.119
 to finish scripture

00:25:23.119 --> 00:25:24.119
 to finish scripture

00:25:24.119 --> 00:25:25.119
 I thirst

00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:30.119
 a few verses later

00:25:30.119 --> 00:25:32.119
 we hear the very last word

00:25:32.119 --> 00:25:34.119
 and we know from the other gospels

00:25:34.119 --> 00:25:36.119
 it wasn't a weak word

00:25:36.119 --> 00:25:37.119
 it was a strong

00:25:37.119 --> 00:25:38.119
 a loud word

00:25:38.119 --> 00:25:40.119
 a single word

00:25:40.119 --> 00:25:41.119
 in the Greek language

00:25:41.119 --> 00:25:42.119
 that the new testament

00:25:42.119 --> 00:25:43.119
 was written in

00:25:43.119 --> 00:25:45.119
 and his last word was

00:25:45.119 --> 00:25:46.119
 as a shout

00:25:46.119 --> 00:25:47.119
 it is finished

00:25:47.119 --> 00:25:48.119
 it is finished

00:25:48.119 --> 00:25:49.119
 I am thirsty

00:25:49.119 --> 00:25:51.119
 I thirst

00:25:51.119 --> 00:25:53.119
 he takes a drink

00:25:53.119 --> 00:25:54.119
 in fulfillment

00:25:54.119 --> 00:25:55.119
 of prophecy

00:25:55.119 --> 00:25:56.119
 and scripture

00:25:56.119 --> 00:25:58.119
 and having taken the drink

00:25:58.119 --> 00:26:00.119
 it is finished

00:26:01.119 --> 00:26:04.119
 and he dismisses his soul

00:26:05.119 --> 00:26:06.119
 he bows his head

00:26:07.119 --> 00:26:09.119
 he is in an instant

00:26:10.119 --> 00:26:11.119
 physically dead

00:26:12.119 --> 00:26:14.119
 and his soul

00:26:14.119 --> 00:26:15.119
 his spirit

00:26:15.119 --> 00:26:17.119
 is with his father

00:26:17.119 --> 00:26:19.119
 in the kingdom of heaven

00:26:19.119 --> 00:26:22.119
 the bitter cup

00:26:22.119 --> 00:26:24.119
 that the father

00:26:24.119 --> 00:26:26.119
 has asked him to drink

00:26:27.119 --> 00:26:28.119
 has been drunk

00:26:29.119 --> 00:26:31.119
 to the very last drop

00:26:32.119 --> 00:26:33.119
 that phrase

00:26:34.119 --> 00:26:35.119
 it is finished

00:26:35.119 --> 00:26:36.119
 is often preached on

00:26:37.119 --> 00:26:39.119
 it is a wonderful word

00:26:40.119 --> 00:26:41.119
 tetelestai

00:26:41.119 --> 00:26:42.119
 it is finished

00:26:42.119 --> 00:26:43.119
 and lots of things

00:26:43.119 --> 00:26:44.119
 have been said about it

00:26:44.119 --> 00:26:46.119
 but what I want you to notice

00:26:46.119 --> 00:26:47.119
 this morning

00:26:47.119 --> 00:26:48.119
 in these last words

00:26:48.119 --> 00:26:49.119
 of Jesus

00:26:49.119 --> 00:26:51.119
 is just the emphasis

00:26:52.119 --> 00:26:53.119
 on the thirst

00:26:53.119 --> 00:26:54.119
 and the drink

00:26:54.119 --> 00:26:56.119
 and it being finished

00:26:57.119 --> 00:26:58.119
 that word

00:26:59.119 --> 00:27:00.119
 spoken by Jesus

00:27:00.119 --> 00:27:01.119
 on the cross

00:27:01.119 --> 00:27:02.119
 it is finished

00:27:03.119 --> 00:27:05.119
 it is actually in the text

00:27:06.119 --> 00:27:07.119
 three times

00:27:08.119 --> 00:27:09.119
 twice

00:27:10.119 --> 00:27:12.119
 in kind of an identical form

00:27:12.119 --> 00:27:13.119
 a verbal form

00:27:13.119 --> 00:27:14.119
 a verbal form

00:27:14.119 --> 00:27:15.119
 it is finished

00:27:15.119 --> 00:27:16.119
 it is finished

00:27:16.119 --> 00:27:18.119
 it is there in verse 28

00:27:18.119 --> 00:27:19.119
 Jesus knowing

00:27:19.119 --> 00:27:21.119
 that all was now

00:27:21.119 --> 00:27:22.119
 finished

00:27:23.119 --> 00:27:24.119
 said

00:27:25.119 --> 00:27:26.119
 but the next little phrase

00:27:27.119 --> 00:27:28.119
 that is in brackets

00:27:28.119 --> 00:27:29.119
 in the ESV

00:27:29.119 --> 00:27:30.119
 to fulfill

00:27:31.119 --> 00:27:32.119
 the scripture

00:27:32.119 --> 00:27:33.119
 well the word for fulfilling

00:27:33.119 --> 00:27:35.119
 is really from the same root

00:27:36.119 --> 00:27:37.119
 as the word for finishing

00:27:37.119 --> 00:27:38.119
 to fill

00:27:38.119 --> 00:27:39.119
 to fulfill

00:27:39.119 --> 00:27:40.119
 to fulfill

00:27:40.119 --> 00:27:41.119
 and to finish

00:27:41.119 --> 00:27:43.119
 you can see how they are connected

00:27:44.119 --> 00:27:45.119
 even in English

00:27:46.119 --> 00:27:47.119
 you get to the fulfillment

00:27:47.119 --> 00:27:48.119
 you have finished

00:27:50.119 --> 00:27:52.119
 then the word on the cross

00:27:53.119 --> 00:27:54.119
 after the drink

00:27:55.119 --> 00:27:56.119
 it is

00:27:57.119 --> 00:27:58.119
 finished

00:28:00.119 --> 00:28:02.119
 he came to finish

00:28:02.119 --> 00:28:04.119
 the task that the father gave him

00:28:04.119 --> 00:28:07.119
 he did not stumble

00:28:07.119 --> 00:28:09.119
 the scripture

00:28:10.119 --> 00:28:11.119
 was finished

00:28:12.119 --> 00:28:13.119
 the scripture

00:28:14.119 --> 00:28:16.119
 was fulfilled

00:28:17.119 --> 00:28:18.119
 Jesus' last words

00:28:19.119 --> 00:28:20.119
 but secondly

00:28:21.119 --> 00:28:22.119
 we are going to think

00:28:23.119 --> 00:28:25.119
 about Jesus' last strength

00:28:26.119 --> 00:28:27.119
 what he did

00:28:28.119 --> 00:28:31.119
 with the last grace and strength

00:28:31.119 --> 00:28:33.119
 that God gave to him

00:28:34.119 --> 00:28:35.119
 what was he doing

00:28:35.119 --> 00:28:36.119
 what was he doing

00:28:36.119 --> 00:28:37.119
 on the cross

00:28:38.119 --> 00:28:39.119
 that took his last strength

00:28:40.119 --> 00:28:41.119
 what was he doing

00:28:42.119 --> 00:28:43.119
 as he took those last

00:28:44.119 --> 00:28:45.119
 bitter sips of bitter wine

00:28:46.119 --> 00:28:47.119
 on a sponge

00:28:48.119 --> 00:28:49.119
 soaked with wine vinegar

00:28:50.119 --> 00:28:51.119
 and held up to him

00:28:52.119 --> 00:28:53.119
 on a hyssop plant

00:28:54.119 --> 00:28:55.119
 on the branch of a hyssop

00:28:56.119 --> 00:28:57.119
 what was he doing?

00:28:58.119 --> 00:28:59.119
 well we know

00:28:59.119 --> 00:29:01.119
 he was fulfilling

00:29:02.119 --> 00:29:03.119
 scripture

00:29:03.119 --> 00:29:04.119
 deliberately

00:29:04.119 --> 00:29:05.119
 and consciously

00:29:05.119 --> 00:29:06.119
 others were fulfilling

00:29:06.119 --> 00:29:07.119
 scripture

00:29:07.119 --> 00:29:08.119
 maybe not

00:29:08.119 --> 00:29:09.119
 realizing that they were

00:29:09.119 --> 00:29:10.119
 doing it

00:29:10.119 --> 00:29:11.119
 maybe their

00:29:11.119 --> 00:29:12.119
 their own

00:29:12.119 --> 00:29:13.119
 sinful inclinations

00:29:13.119 --> 00:29:14.119
 and sinful

00:29:14.119 --> 00:29:15.119
 wills

00:29:15.119 --> 00:29:16.119
 leading them to do

00:29:16.119 --> 00:29:17.119
 things

00:29:17.119 --> 00:29:18.119
 that God

00:29:18.119 --> 00:29:19.119
 had long before

00:29:20.119 --> 00:29:21.119
 foreordained

00:29:21.119 --> 00:29:22.119
 would come to pass

00:29:23.119 --> 00:29:24.119
 for his glory

00:29:25.119 --> 00:29:26.119
 and for our

00:29:26.119 --> 00:29:27.119
 salvation

00:29:27.119 --> 00:29:29.119
 but Jesus

00:29:29.119 --> 00:29:30.119
 is using

00:29:30.119 --> 00:29:31.119
 his last strength

00:29:31.119 --> 00:29:34.119
 to fulfill

00:29:34.119 --> 00:29:35.119
 the Passover

00:29:36.119 --> 00:29:38.119
 to be the true

00:29:39.119 --> 00:29:40.119
 Lamb of God

00:29:40.119 --> 00:29:41.119
 who takes away

00:29:41.119 --> 00:29:42.119
 the sins

00:29:42.119 --> 00:29:43.119
 of the world

00:29:44.119 --> 00:29:45.119
 the one

00:29:45.119 --> 00:29:46.119
 John the Baptist

00:29:46.119 --> 00:29:47.119
 pointed to

00:29:48.119 --> 00:29:49.119
 on the first page

00:29:49.119 --> 00:29:50.119
 of this gospel

00:29:51.119 --> 00:29:52.119
 God's Lamb

00:29:53.119 --> 00:29:54.119
 the sin carrying

00:29:55.119 --> 00:29:56.119
 Lamb of God

00:29:57.119 --> 00:29:58.119
 the Passover

00:29:58.119 --> 00:29:59.119
 is looking

00:29:59.119 --> 00:30:00.119
 forward

00:30:00.119 --> 00:30:02.119
 to its

00:30:02.119 --> 00:30:03.119
 fulfillment

00:30:04.119 --> 00:30:05.119
 in Jesus

00:30:05.119 --> 00:30:06.119
 it is at

00:30:06.119 --> 00:30:07.119
 a Passover

00:30:07.119 --> 00:30:08.119
 that he

00:30:08.119 --> 00:30:09.119
 gives his

00:30:09.119 --> 00:30:10.119
 first sign

00:30:10.119 --> 00:30:11.119
 in John's

00:30:11.119 --> 00:30:12.119
 Gospel

00:30:12.119 --> 00:30:13.119
 chapter 2

00:30:14.119 --> 00:30:15.119
 the Passover

00:30:15.119 --> 00:30:16.119
 that he went up to

00:30:16.119 --> 00:30:17.119
 at Jerusalem

00:30:18.119 --> 00:30:19.119
 at the beginning of his

00:30:19.119 --> 00:30:20.119
 public ministry

00:30:20.119 --> 00:30:21.119
 and the first sign

00:30:21.119 --> 00:30:23.119
 by which he showed

00:30:23.119 --> 00:30:24.119
 his glory

00:30:24.119 --> 00:30:26.119
 and now his ministry

00:30:26.119 --> 00:30:27.119
 is ending

00:30:27.119 --> 00:30:28.119
 and the last

00:30:28.119 --> 00:30:29.119
 great sign

00:30:29.119 --> 00:30:31.119
 of John's

00:30:31.119 --> 00:30:32.119
 Gospel of signs

00:30:32.119 --> 00:30:33.119
 will be the

00:30:33.119 --> 00:30:34.119
 resurrection

00:30:34.119 --> 00:30:35.119
 of the Passover

00:30:35.119 --> 00:30:36.119
 Lamb

00:30:38.119 --> 00:30:39.119
 it is amazing

00:30:39.119 --> 00:30:40.119
 how the scripture

00:30:40.119 --> 00:30:41.119
 comes together

00:30:41.119 --> 00:30:44.119
 and at the Passover

00:30:44.119 --> 00:30:45.119
 he eats the Passover

00:30:45.119 --> 00:30:46.119
 in Jerusalem

00:30:46.119 --> 00:30:47.119
 with his disciples

00:30:47.119 --> 00:30:49.119
 in the upper room

00:30:49.119 --> 00:30:51.119
 and amazingly

00:30:51.119 --> 00:30:53.119
 the Gospel of John

00:30:53.119 --> 00:30:55.119
 doesn't focus

00:30:56.119 --> 00:30:57.119
 on the action

00:30:57.119 --> 00:30:58.119
 in the Passover

00:30:58.119 --> 00:30:59.119
 with bread

00:30:59.119 --> 00:31:00.119
 and wine

00:31:00.119 --> 00:31:02.119
 the other Gospels

00:31:02.119 --> 00:31:03.119
 will tell you

00:31:03.119 --> 00:31:04.119
 about that

00:31:05.119 --> 00:31:06.119
 John wants you

00:31:06.119 --> 00:31:07.119
 to know

00:31:07.119 --> 00:31:09.119
 about the conversation

00:31:09.119 --> 00:31:10.119
 and the worship

00:31:10.119 --> 00:31:11.119
 and the foot washing

00:31:11.119 --> 00:31:12.119
 and the praying

00:31:12.119 --> 00:31:15.119
 because John's

00:31:16.119 --> 00:31:17.119
 Passover

00:31:17.119 --> 00:31:18.119
 Passover

00:31:18.119 --> 00:31:20.119
 is really going to happen

00:31:20.119 --> 00:31:22.119
 not in the upper room

00:31:22.119 --> 00:31:24.119
 with the apostles

00:31:24.119 --> 00:31:25.119
 gathered around

00:31:25.119 --> 00:31:26.119
 a table

00:31:28.119 --> 00:31:29.119
 John's Passover

00:31:29.119 --> 00:31:32.119
 is not on Thursday night

00:31:32.119 --> 00:31:33.119
 but on Friday

00:31:34.119 --> 00:31:37.119
 at the place of the skull

00:31:38.119 --> 00:31:39.119
 at the place

00:31:39.119 --> 00:31:41.119
 where the last strength

00:31:42.119 --> 00:31:43.119
 of the Lamb

00:31:44.119 --> 00:31:45.119
 is given

00:31:45.119 --> 00:31:46.119
 is given

00:31:46.119 --> 00:31:47.119
 to die

00:31:47.119 --> 00:31:48.119
 as the Lamb

00:31:48.119 --> 00:31:51.119
 I

00:31:51.119 --> 00:31:52.119
 thirst

00:31:52.119 --> 00:31:56.119
 it

00:31:56.119 --> 00:31:57.119
 is

00:31:57.119 --> 00:31:59.119
 finished

00:31:59.119 --> 00:32:02.119
 what kept

00:32:02.119 --> 00:32:03.119
 Jesus going

00:32:04.119 --> 00:32:06.119
 was this desire

00:32:06.119 --> 00:32:07.119
 this longing

00:32:07.119 --> 00:32:08.119
 to obey

00:32:08.119 --> 00:32:09.119
 his Father

00:32:10.119 --> 00:32:11.119
 to the very end

00:32:12.119 --> 00:32:13.119
 and he was sent

00:32:13.119 --> 00:32:14.119
 to be that Lamb

00:32:14.119 --> 00:32:16.119
 part of

00:32:16.119 --> 00:32:17.119
 his mission

00:32:17.119 --> 00:32:18.119
 was to be

00:32:18.119 --> 00:32:19.119
 a perfect Lamb

00:32:19.119 --> 00:32:21.119
 not a bone

00:32:21.119 --> 00:32:22.119
 of his body

00:32:22.119 --> 00:32:23.119
 could be broken

00:32:23.119 --> 00:32:25.119
 when the soldiers

00:32:25.119 --> 00:32:26.119
 came to

00:32:27.119 --> 00:32:28.119
 hasten the deaths

00:32:28.119 --> 00:32:29.119
 of the three men

00:32:29.119 --> 00:32:30.119
 who were being crucified

00:32:30.119 --> 00:32:31.119
 because the

00:32:32.119 --> 00:32:34.119
 the Friday sunset

00:32:34.119 --> 00:32:35.119
 would begin

00:32:36.119 --> 00:32:37.119
 the Sabbath

00:32:38.119 --> 00:32:39.119
 and it was a special Sabbath

00:32:39.119 --> 00:32:40.119
 a Passover Sabbath

00:32:40.119 --> 00:32:42.119
 a high Sabbath

00:32:42.119 --> 00:32:44.119
 and there was no question

00:32:44.119 --> 00:32:46.119
 the Jews would not be happy

00:32:46.119 --> 00:32:47.119
 to have the land

00:32:47.119 --> 00:32:48.119
 under a curse

00:32:48.119 --> 00:32:50.119
 because a dead body

00:32:50.119 --> 00:32:51.119
 was hanging on a tree

00:32:51.119 --> 00:32:53.119
 cursed by God

00:32:53.119 --> 00:32:54.119
 overnight

00:32:54.119 --> 00:32:55.119
 and over a Sabbath

00:32:55.119 --> 00:32:56.119
 it couldn't be allowed

00:32:56.119 --> 00:32:57.119
 so hurry up

00:32:57.119 --> 00:32:58.119
 the execution

00:32:58.119 --> 00:33:00.119
 get rid of these men

00:33:00.119 --> 00:33:01.119
 get rid of their bodies

00:33:01.119 --> 00:33:03.119
 throw them in their graves

00:33:03.119 --> 00:33:06.119
 well there's no need

00:33:06.119 --> 00:33:07.119
 to hurry up

00:33:07.119 --> 00:33:08.119
 the death of Jesus

00:33:08.119 --> 00:33:11.119
 he has used

00:33:11.119 --> 00:33:12.119
 his last strength

00:33:13.119 --> 00:33:16.119
 to take the bitter drink

00:33:17.119 --> 00:33:18.119
 that Psalm 22

00:33:18.119 --> 00:33:19.119
 and Psalm 69

00:33:20.119 --> 00:33:22.119
 said he would take

00:33:23.119 --> 00:33:25.119
 and without a bone

00:33:25.119 --> 00:33:26.119
 of his body

00:33:26.119 --> 00:33:27.119
 being broken

00:33:28.119 --> 00:33:30.119
 he is the perfect

00:33:30.119 --> 00:33:32.119
 Paschal Lamb

00:33:32.119 --> 00:33:33.119
 Exodus 12

00:33:33.119 --> 00:33:34.119
 verse 46

00:33:34.119 --> 00:33:35.119
 Numbers 9

00:33:35.119 --> 00:33:36.119
 verse 12

00:33:36.119 --> 00:33:37.119
 the Lamb

00:33:37.119 --> 00:33:38.119
 must be perfect

00:33:38.119 --> 00:33:39.119
 and no bone

00:33:39.119 --> 00:33:40.119
 can be broken

00:33:40.119 --> 00:33:41.119
 not even

00:33:41.119 --> 00:33:42.119
 as its blood

00:33:42.119 --> 00:33:43.119
 is being drained

00:33:43.119 --> 00:33:44.119
 from it

00:33:44.119 --> 00:33:45.119
 or as it is being

00:33:45.119 --> 00:33:46.119
 prepared

00:33:46.119 --> 00:33:47.119
 to be roasted

00:33:47.119 --> 00:33:48.119
 and consumed

00:33:49.119 --> 00:33:50.119
 by those

00:33:50.119 --> 00:33:51.119
 who are in fellowship

00:33:51.119 --> 00:33:52.119
 with God

00:33:52.119 --> 00:33:53.119
 and in fellowship

00:33:53.119 --> 00:33:54.119
 with their Lamb

00:33:54.119 --> 00:33:55.119
 who has died

00:33:55.119 --> 00:33:56.119
 for them

00:33:56.119 --> 00:33:58.119
 so that they

00:33:58.119 --> 00:33:59.119
 so that they

00:33:59.119 --> 00:34:00.119
 do not die

00:34:00.119 --> 00:34:01.119
 so that they

00:34:01.119 --> 00:34:02.119
 go free

00:34:02.119 --> 00:34:03.119
 from Egypt

00:34:03.119 --> 00:34:04.119
 go free

00:34:04.119 --> 00:34:05.119
 from Pharaoh

00:34:05.119 --> 00:34:06.119
 go free

00:34:06.119 --> 00:34:07.119
 from the bondage

00:34:07.119 --> 00:34:08.119
 that has held them

00:34:08.119 --> 00:34:10.119
 Passover is liberation

00:34:11.119 --> 00:34:12.119
 Passover is salvation

00:34:13.119 --> 00:34:15.119
 Passover is the Lamb

00:34:15.119 --> 00:34:17.119
 dead in every house

00:34:17.119 --> 00:34:18.119
 and the blood of the Lamb

00:34:18.119 --> 00:34:19.119
 on the doorposts

00:34:20.119 --> 00:34:21.119
 of every house

00:34:21.119 --> 00:34:23.119
 and Jesus is fulfilling

00:34:23.119 --> 00:34:24.119
 that picture

00:34:25.119 --> 00:34:27.119
 he is the source of life

00:34:27.119 --> 00:34:29.119
 of life and freedom

00:34:29.119 --> 00:34:31.119
 and his last strength

00:34:32.119 --> 00:34:33.119
 is to say

00:34:33.119 --> 00:34:34.119
 I thirst

00:34:35.119 --> 00:34:36.119
 Psalm 22

00:34:36.119 --> 00:34:38.119
 my tongue sticks to my jaws

00:34:39.119 --> 00:34:42.119
 but Psalm 22 ends

00:34:43.119 --> 00:34:44.119
 with worship

00:34:45.119 --> 00:34:47.119
 and tell the nations

00:34:48.119 --> 00:34:50.119
 the Lord has done it

00:34:51.119 --> 00:34:52.119
 it's done

00:34:53.119 --> 00:34:55.119
 it's achieved

00:34:55.119 --> 00:34:57.119
 it's finished

00:34:57.119 --> 00:34:58.119
 it's finished

00:34:58.119 --> 00:35:02.119
 Psalm 69

00:35:03.119 --> 00:35:04.119
 they gave me poison

00:35:04.119 --> 00:35:05.119
 for food

00:35:05.119 --> 00:35:06.119
 and for my thirst

00:35:06.119 --> 00:35:08.119
 they gave me sour wine

00:35:08.119 --> 00:35:09.119
 to drink

00:35:10.119 --> 00:35:13.119
 surrounded by wild animals

00:35:14.119 --> 00:35:15.119
 surrounded by men

00:35:16.119 --> 00:35:17.119
 like beasts

00:35:18.119 --> 00:35:20.119
 he uses his strength

00:35:20.119 --> 00:35:23.119
 to finish

00:35:23.119 --> 00:35:24.119
 to finish

00:35:26.119 --> 00:35:27.119
 isn't it strange

00:35:28.119 --> 00:35:30.119
 that they picked up

00:35:30.119 --> 00:35:32.119
 a branch of hyssop

00:35:33.119 --> 00:35:34.119
 to give him the drink

00:35:35.119 --> 00:35:36.119
 that he asked for

00:35:37.119 --> 00:35:38.119
 to finish the mission

00:35:38.119 --> 00:35:39.119
 he was sent

00:35:39.119 --> 00:35:40.119
 to do

00:35:41.119 --> 00:35:42.119
 hyssop

00:35:43.119 --> 00:35:44.119
 the same plant

00:35:45.119 --> 00:35:46.119
 that they used

00:35:46.119 --> 00:35:47.119
 in the Passover

00:35:47.119 --> 00:35:48.119
 in the book of Exodus

00:35:48.119 --> 00:35:51.119
 to paint their door frames

00:35:51.119 --> 00:35:53.119
 with the lamb's blood

00:35:54.119 --> 00:35:55.119
 nothing

00:35:56.119 --> 00:35:57.119
 no detail

00:35:57.119 --> 00:35:58.119
 in this story

00:35:59.119 --> 00:36:00.119
 is random

00:36:00.119 --> 00:36:01.119
 or accidental

00:36:02.119 --> 00:36:03.119
 Jesus

00:36:04.119 --> 00:36:05.119
 last words

00:36:06.119 --> 00:36:07.119
 Jesus

00:36:08.119 --> 00:36:09.119
 last strength

00:36:10.119 --> 00:36:11.119
 and then thirdly

00:36:12.119 --> 00:36:13.119
 Jesus

00:36:14.119 --> 00:36:15.119
 last

00:36:15.119 --> 00:36:16.119
 gift

00:36:16.119 --> 00:36:19.119
 what did he give us

00:36:20.119 --> 00:36:21.119
 as he was dying

00:36:22.119 --> 00:36:24.119
 verse 30

00:36:25.119 --> 00:36:26.119
 when Jesus had received

00:36:26.119 --> 00:36:27.119
 the sour wine

00:36:27.119 --> 00:36:28.119
 he said

00:36:28.119 --> 00:36:29.119
 it is finished

00:36:29.119 --> 00:36:30.119
 and he bowed his head

00:36:30.119 --> 00:36:31.119
 and he gave up

00:36:31.119 --> 00:36:32.119
 his spirit

00:36:33.119 --> 00:36:34.119
 verse 34

00:36:35.119 --> 00:36:36.119
 one of the soldiers

00:36:36.119 --> 00:36:37.119
 came

00:36:37.119 --> 00:36:38.119
 to break his legs

00:36:39.119 --> 00:36:40.119
 but the one of the soldiers

00:36:40.119 --> 00:36:41.119
 instead

00:36:41.119 --> 00:36:42.119
 pierced his side

00:36:42.119 --> 00:36:43.119
 with a spear

00:36:43.119 --> 00:36:45.119
 and at once

00:36:46.119 --> 00:36:47.119
 there came out

00:36:48.119 --> 00:36:49.119
 what came out of Jesus' body

00:36:50.119 --> 00:36:52.119
 his last gift

00:36:52.119 --> 00:36:53.119
 to his people

00:36:54.119 --> 00:36:55.119
 blood

00:36:56.119 --> 00:36:57.119
 and water

00:36:58.119 --> 00:37:02.119
 that could just be an incident

00:37:03.119 --> 00:37:04.119
 being recorded

00:37:04.119 --> 00:37:05.119
 because well that's what happened

00:37:06.119 --> 00:37:08.119
 and that's what the witness saw

00:37:08.119 --> 00:37:09.119
 saw

00:37:11.119 --> 00:37:14.119
 but the verses that come after it

00:37:15.119 --> 00:37:16.119
 make a big deal of it

00:37:17.119 --> 00:37:19.119
 they are important

00:37:20.119 --> 00:37:21.119
 to the writer

00:37:21.119 --> 00:37:22.119
 of this gospel

00:37:23.119 --> 00:37:26.119
 and as we've seen a few times

00:37:27.119 --> 00:37:28.119
 in looking at this chapter

00:37:29.119 --> 00:37:31.119
 and if you're familiar with the rest of John's gospel

00:37:31.119 --> 00:37:32.119
 you will know

00:37:33.119 --> 00:37:35.119
 that often John will refer to himself

00:37:35.119 --> 00:37:38.119
 almost with a sense of embarrassment

00:37:38.119 --> 00:37:41.119
 he will find an oblique way

00:37:41.119 --> 00:37:42.119
 to refer to himself

00:37:42.119 --> 00:37:44.119
 as the disciple Jesus loved

00:37:44.119 --> 00:37:46.119
 the beloved disciple

00:37:47.119 --> 00:37:49.119
 he's the one

00:37:49.119 --> 00:37:51.119
 who's to take Mary home

00:37:51.119 --> 00:37:52.119
 from the cross

00:37:53.119 --> 00:37:56.119
 and we found out last night

00:37:56.119 --> 00:37:57.119
 in verse 27

00:37:57.119 --> 00:37:59.119
 that from that hour

00:38:00.119 --> 00:38:03.119
 John was to take Mary

00:38:03.119 --> 00:38:05.119
 and care for her

00:38:05.119 --> 00:38:06.119
 and take her to his own home

00:38:06.119 --> 00:38:07.119
 but from that hour

00:38:07.119 --> 00:38:09.119
 does not mean that

00:38:09.119 --> 00:38:10.119
 John and Mary left the cross

00:38:11.119 --> 00:38:12.119
 right then

00:38:14.119 --> 00:38:15.119
 because the hour

00:38:15.119 --> 00:38:16.119
 is the moment

00:38:16.119 --> 00:38:18.119
 this gospel has been moving towards

00:38:19.119 --> 00:38:20.119
 of the death of the Lamb of God

00:38:21.119 --> 00:38:24.119
 and I'm pretty firmly convinced

00:38:24.119 --> 00:38:26.119
 that John was there

00:38:27.119 --> 00:38:28.119
 to see how Jesus died

00:38:29.119 --> 00:38:30.119
 and how that spear

00:38:30.119 --> 00:38:32.119
 that lance was put to his side

00:38:32.119 --> 00:38:34.119
 and how

00:38:35.119 --> 00:38:36.119
 there was no heartbeat

00:38:38.119 --> 00:38:39.119
 there was no life in the body

00:38:40.119 --> 00:38:43.119
 to keep the fluids of his body together

00:38:44.119 --> 00:38:47.119
 there was blood that flowed from his side

00:38:49.119 --> 00:38:50.119
 a dead man

00:38:51.119 --> 00:38:54.119
 and there was water that had been parted from that blood

00:38:55.119 --> 00:38:56.119
 flowing from his side

00:38:56.119 --> 00:38:58.119
 and in that order

00:38:58.119 --> 00:38:59.119
 water first

00:38:59.119 --> 00:39:00.119
 and then blood

00:39:01.119 --> 00:39:02.119
 John saw it

00:39:02.119 --> 00:39:03.119
 John is the eyewitness

00:39:04.119 --> 00:39:05.119
 because he says

00:39:05.119 --> 00:39:06.119
 he who saw it has borne witness

00:39:07.119 --> 00:39:08.119
 his testimony is true

00:39:08.119 --> 00:39:10.119
 and he knows that he's telling the truth

00:39:11.119 --> 00:39:12.119
 that you also may believe

00:39:13.119 --> 00:39:15.119
 for those things took place

00:39:16.119 --> 00:39:17.119
 that the scripture might be fulfilled

00:39:17.119 --> 00:39:19.119
 not one of his bones will be broken

00:39:20.119 --> 00:39:21.119
 and again another scripture says

00:39:21.119 --> 00:39:25.119
 they will look on him whom they have pierced

00:39:26.119 --> 00:39:27.119
 his last gift to us

00:39:28.119 --> 00:39:31.119
 is that he allowed his body to be pierced

00:39:32.119 --> 00:39:36.119
 in fulfillment of the prophecies of the Old Testament

00:39:38.119 --> 00:39:40.119
 and the proof that he was dead

00:39:41.119 --> 00:39:44.119
 was that he was violently pierced with a spear

00:39:44.119 --> 00:39:47.119
 and his blood flowed out of him

00:39:48.119 --> 00:39:50.119
 and water flowed out of him

00:39:51.119 --> 00:39:55.119
 what does that last gift mean?

00:39:56.119 --> 00:39:58.119
 in a gospel where there is often

00:39:59.119 --> 00:40:01.119
 symbolism and meaning

00:40:02.119 --> 00:40:03.119
 in all the details

00:40:04.119 --> 00:40:05.119
 what does it mean?

00:40:06.119 --> 00:40:09.119
 John Calvin believed

00:40:10.119 --> 00:40:12.119
 that the Old Testament

00:40:12.119 --> 00:40:15.119
 way of peace with God

00:40:16.119 --> 00:40:17.119
 could be

00:40:18.119 --> 00:40:19.119
 gathered together

00:40:20.119 --> 00:40:21.119
 under two headings

00:40:22.119 --> 00:40:23.119
 sacrifices

00:40:24.119 --> 00:40:26.119
 of blood

00:40:27.119 --> 00:40:30.119
 and washings

00:40:31.119 --> 00:40:32.119
 the law

00:40:33.119 --> 00:40:34.119
 the old covenant

00:40:35.119 --> 00:40:36.119
 the way to draw near to God

00:40:37.119 --> 00:40:38.119
 before Jesus came

00:40:39.119 --> 00:40:41.119
 and before his sacrifice and fulfillment

00:40:42.119 --> 00:40:44.119
 was a covenant

00:40:44.119 --> 00:40:45.119
 was a covenant

00:40:45.119 --> 00:40:46.119
 expressed in

00:40:47.119 --> 00:40:48.119
 blood sacrifice

00:40:49.119 --> 00:40:50.119
 and water

00:40:51.119 --> 00:40:52.119
 washing

00:40:55.119 --> 00:40:57.119
 I don't think Calvin is wrong

00:40:58.119 --> 00:40:59.119
 to see God working

00:41:00.119 --> 00:41:01.119
 and the Spirit working

00:41:02.119 --> 00:41:03.119
 to bring life and salvation

00:41:04.119 --> 00:41:05.119
 and cleansing

00:41:06.119 --> 00:41:07.119
 through the blood shed

00:41:08.119 --> 00:41:10.119
 that cleanses

00:41:10.119 --> 00:41:12.119
 this is

00:41:13.119 --> 00:41:14.119
 this is a one-off gift

00:41:15.119 --> 00:41:17.119
 this is a gift that

00:41:18.119 --> 00:41:19.119
 had never happened before

00:41:20.119 --> 00:41:22.119
 although the worship of the old covenant

00:41:22.119 --> 00:41:23.119
 pointed forward to it

00:41:24.119 --> 00:41:25.119
 it was partial

00:41:26.119 --> 00:41:27.119
 it was symbolic

00:41:27.119 --> 00:41:28.119
 it was provisional

00:41:29.119 --> 00:41:30.119
 it was a shadow

00:41:31.119 --> 00:41:32.119
 now

00:41:33.119 --> 00:41:34.119
 the Lamb of God

00:41:34.119 --> 00:41:35.119
 true Lamb

00:41:35.119 --> 00:41:36.119
 dies

00:41:36.119 --> 00:41:37.119
 now

00:41:37.119 --> 00:41:38.119
 the Passover Lamb

00:41:38.119 --> 00:41:39.119
 is offered

00:41:39.119 --> 00:41:40.119
 now

00:41:40.119 --> 00:41:41.119
 his blood

00:41:41.119 --> 00:41:42.119
 is offered

00:41:42.119 --> 00:41:43.119
 to mark you

00:41:43.119 --> 00:41:44.119
 safe

00:41:44.119 --> 00:41:46.119
 from God's judgment

00:41:47.119 --> 00:41:48.119
 now

00:41:49.119 --> 00:41:51.119
 water is poured out

00:41:51.119 --> 00:41:52.119
 cleansing

00:41:53.119 --> 00:41:54.119
 water

00:41:54.119 --> 00:41:55.119
 water

00:41:55.119 --> 00:41:56.119
 that stands for

00:41:57.119 --> 00:41:58.119
 the process of birth

00:41:58.119 --> 00:41:59.119
 birth from water

00:41:59.119 --> 00:42:02.119
 you must be born again

00:42:02.119 --> 00:42:06.119
 you must be made new

00:42:07.119 --> 00:42:09.119
 the Spirit often in Scripture

00:42:10.119 --> 00:42:12.119
 using the symbol of water

00:42:12.119 --> 00:42:14.119
 to describe his work

00:42:15.119 --> 00:42:18.119
 the Spirit applying the work of the Son

00:42:19.119 --> 00:42:22.119
 blood and water

00:42:23.119 --> 00:42:25.119
 in the story of the Exodus

00:42:25.119 --> 00:42:26.119
 in the story of the Passover

00:42:26.119 --> 00:42:27.119
 the Passover

00:42:27.119 --> 00:42:29.119
 the blood comes first

00:42:30.119 --> 00:42:32.119
 on the night of the Passover

00:42:33.119 --> 00:42:34.119
 the Lamb is consumed

00:42:34.119 --> 00:42:37.119
 and the Lamb's blood is over the doorposts

00:42:37.119 --> 00:42:38.119
 and the lintels

00:42:39.119 --> 00:42:40.119
 and the people go free

00:42:41.119 --> 00:42:42.119
 they are saved that night

00:42:43.119 --> 00:42:44.119
 but they immediately

00:42:45.119 --> 00:42:46.119
 journey to the sea

00:42:47.119 --> 00:42:48.119
 and they pass through

00:42:49.119 --> 00:42:50.119
 the waters of the sea

00:42:51.119 --> 00:42:53.119
 parted for them by God

00:42:53.119 --> 00:42:54.119
 and they are baptized

00:42:54.119 --> 00:42:56.119
 into Moses

00:42:57.119 --> 00:42:58.119
 in the water

00:42:59.119 --> 00:43:00.119
 in the sea

00:43:01.119 --> 00:43:02.119
 they are identified

00:43:03.119 --> 00:43:04.119
 as God's people

00:43:05.119 --> 00:43:06.119
 saved and marked as saved

00:43:07.119 --> 00:43:08.119
 at Passover

00:43:08.119 --> 00:43:10.119
 and separated from their old life

00:43:10.119 --> 00:43:11.119
 that they are leaving behind

00:43:12.119 --> 00:43:14.119
 and the pursuit of their enemies

00:43:15.119 --> 00:43:17.119
 they pass through water

00:43:18.119 --> 00:43:20.119
 blood and water

00:43:20.119 --> 00:43:23.119
 in that order

00:43:24.119 --> 00:43:25.119
 is at the cross

00:43:26.119 --> 00:43:29.119
 surely it is an echo of the Exodus

00:43:30.119 --> 00:43:33.119
 and surely it is a fulfillment

00:43:34.119 --> 00:43:36.119
 of all the sacrifices

00:43:37.119 --> 00:43:38.119
 of all the drink offerings

00:43:39.119 --> 00:43:41.119
 of all the altars that were raised up

00:43:42.119 --> 00:43:44.119
 and had water poured over them

00:43:45.119 --> 00:43:47.119
 or wine poured over them

00:43:47.119 --> 00:43:49.119
 under the old covenant

00:43:50.119 --> 00:43:51.119
 what is his gift

00:43:52.119 --> 00:43:54.119
 his last gift

00:43:55.119 --> 00:43:56.119
 his blood

00:43:57.119 --> 00:43:58.119
 makes

00:43:59.119 --> 00:44:00.119
 the sinful

00:44:01.119 --> 00:44:02.119
 clean

00:44:03.119 --> 00:44:05.119
 his blood

00:44:06.119 --> 00:44:07.119
 sets

00:44:08.119 --> 00:44:09.119
 the prisoner

00:44:10.119 --> 00:44:11.119
 free

00:44:12.119 --> 00:44:13.119
 it

00:44:14.119 --> 00:44:15.119
 is

00:44:15.119 --> 00:44:16.119
 finished

00:44:16.119 --> 00:44:17.119
 and

00:44:18.119 --> 00:44:19.119
 John

00:44:19.119 --> 00:44:20.119
 who saw it

00:44:21.119 --> 00:44:22.119
 bears witness

00:44:23.119 --> 00:44:24.119
 and his testimony

00:44:25.119 --> 00:44:26.119
 is true

00:44:27.119 --> 00:44:28.119
 and he knows

00:44:28.119 --> 00:44:30.119
 he is telling the truth

00:44:31.119 --> 00:44:33.119
 you will hear him say something very similar

00:44:34.119 --> 00:44:35.119
 in the next chapter

00:44:36.119 --> 00:44:38.119
 that you also may

00:44:39.119 --> 00:44:40.119
 believe

00:44:40.119 --> 00:44:41.119
 believe

00:44:41.119 --> 00:44:44.119
 do you believe

00:44:44.119 --> 00:44:45.119
 in this

00:44:46.119 --> 00:44:47.119
 Jesus

00:44:48.119 --> 00:44:49.119
 do you believe

00:44:50.119 --> 00:44:51.119
 that his obedience

00:44:52.119 --> 00:44:53.119
 was for your salvation

00:44:54.119 --> 00:44:55.119
 and that he has tasted

00:44:56.119 --> 00:44:57.119
 death for you

00:44:58.119 --> 00:44:59.119
 and that you will not

00:45:00.119 --> 00:45:01.119
 taste death

00:45:02.119 --> 00:45:03.119
 because of that

00:45:04.119 --> 00:45:05.119
 do you believe

00:45:06.119 --> 00:45:07.119
 that he has cleansed you

00:45:07.119 --> 00:45:08.119
 every sin

00:45:08.119 --> 00:45:10.119
 and washed you

00:45:10.119 --> 00:45:11.119
 as his bride

00:45:12.119 --> 00:45:15.119
 do you believe

00:45:16.119 --> 00:45:18.119
 that you were there

00:45:19.119 --> 00:45:20.119
 at the cross

00:45:21.119 --> 00:45:22.119
 because he loved you

00:45:23.119 --> 00:45:25.119
 and he knew your name

00:45:26.119 --> 00:45:28.119
 and he was thinking

00:45:29.119 --> 00:45:30.119
 about his father

00:45:31.119 --> 00:45:32.119
 and about you

00:45:32.119 --> 00:45:34.119
 then come

00:45:35.119 --> 00:45:36.119
 and worship him

00:45:37.119 --> 00:45:38.119
 at his table

00:45:39.119 --> 00:45:40.119
 and come

00:45:41.119 --> 00:45:42.119
 and remember him

00:45:42.119 --> 00:45:43.119
 at his table

00:45:44.119 --> 00:45:45.119
 and come

00:45:45.119 --> 00:45:46.119
 and feed on him

00:45:47.119 --> 00:45:48.119
 looking forward to the day

00:45:49.119 --> 00:45:50.119
 when you handle

00:45:51.119 --> 00:45:52.119
 his hands

00:45:53.119 --> 00:45:54.119
 you see his face

00:45:55.119 --> 00:45:56.119
 you hear his voice

00:45:57.119 --> 00:45:59.119
 and you are with him

00:45:59.119 --> 00:46:00.119
 forever

00:46:00.119 --> 00:46:01.119
 forever

00:46:03.119 --> 00:46:04.119
 Lord God

00:46:04.119 --> 00:46:05.119
 Adam slept

00:46:06.119 --> 00:46:07.119
 and you took a bride

00:46:08.119 --> 00:46:09.119
 from his side

00:46:10.119 --> 00:46:11.119
 and gave the bride

00:46:12.119 --> 00:46:13.119
 to the man

00:46:14.119 --> 00:46:15.119
 in death

00:46:25.119 --> 00:46:27.119
 out of his substance

00:46:28.119 --> 00:46:29.119
 out of water

00:46:30.119 --> 00:46:31.119
 and blood

00:46:32.119 --> 00:46:33.119

 exalt his name

00:48:24.119 --> 00:48:26.119
 with me

00:48:27.119 --> 00:48:30.119
 I sought the Lord

00:48:30.119 --> 00:48:34.119
 his answer came

00:48:35.119 --> 00:48:37.119
 from fears

00:48:37.119 --> 00:48:40.119
 he set me free

00:48:40.119 --> 00:48:45.119
 the righteous

00:48:45.119 --> 00:48:47.119
 cry the Lord

00:48:47.119 --> 00:48:50.119
 the Lord responds

00:48:50.119 --> 00:48:53.119
 and frees them

00:48:53.119 --> 00:48:57.119
 when distressed

00:48:57.119 --> 00:49:05.119
 the Lord draws near the broken heart

00:49:05.119 --> 00:49:07.119
 heart and rest

00:49:07.119 --> 00:49:12.119
 use the depressed

00:49:12.119 --> 00:49:18.119
 from all the troubles

00:49:18.119 --> 00:49:21.119
 of the just

00:49:21.119 --> 00:49:27.119
 the Lord will set him free

00:49:27.119 --> 00:49:36.119
 the Lord protects his every poor

00:49:36.119 --> 00:49:42.119
 and broken none will be

00:49:42.119 --> 00:49:51.119
 the wicked are condemned to death

00:49:51.119 --> 00:49:58.119
 all those who hate the just

00:49:58.119 --> 00:50:02.119
 God saves his own

00:50:02.119 --> 00:50:06.119
 they're not condemned

00:50:06.119 --> 00:50:12.119
 for in the Lord they trust

00:50:12.119 --> 00:50:13.119
 they trust

00:50:13.119 --> 00:50:26.119
 the Lord Jesus looked forward to being in the upper room with his friends

00:50:27.119 --> 00:50:30.119
 and showing them that he was their Passover

00:50:30.119 --> 00:50:31.119
 he was their lamb

00:50:32.119 --> 00:50:36.119
 he was giving his body and his blood for them

00:50:38.119 --> 00:50:41.119
 he looked forward to the climax of teaching and discipling

00:50:42.119 --> 00:50:43.119
 his friends

00:50:43.119 --> 00:50:46.119
 his friends in the upper room

00:50:47.119 --> 00:50:50.119
 but the Lord Jesus looks forward to every time

00:50:51.119 --> 00:50:53.119
 his people meet in his name

00:50:54.119 --> 00:50:57.119
 to remember his death until he comes

00:50:58.119 --> 00:51:00.119
 and just as eagerly

00:51:01.119 --> 00:51:04.119
 he looks forward to sitting in his kingdom

00:51:05.119 --> 00:51:07.119
 with you

00:51:08.119 --> 00:51:10.119
 and with all his saints

00:51:10.119 --> 00:51:13.119
 when death is no more

00:51:13.119 --> 00:51:15.119
 and sorrow is no more

00:51:15.119 --> 00:51:17.119
 and today

00:51:17.119 --> 00:51:19.119
 is a help

00:51:20.119 --> 00:51:21.119
 a reminder

00:51:22.119 --> 00:51:23.119
 an encouragement

00:51:24.119 --> 00:51:25.119
 to keep feeding

00:51:25.119 --> 00:51:27.119
 because you will be feasting

00:51:28.119 --> 00:51:29.119
 to keep near

00:51:30.119 --> 00:51:31.119
 because you will be nearer

00:51:32.119 --> 00:51:33.119
 to keep turning

00:51:33.119 --> 00:51:34.119
 and confessing your sins

00:51:35.119 --> 00:51:38.119
 because they have already been nailed to the tree

00:51:38.119 --> 00:51:40.119
 we are called by Christ

00:51:40.119 --> 00:51:42.119
 to live in communion

00:51:43.119 --> 00:51:44.119
 with him

00:51:45.119 --> 00:51:47.119
 with the triune God

00:51:48.119 --> 00:51:51.119
 and to live in trinity

00:51:52.119 --> 00:51:53.119
 fellowship and union

00:51:54.119 --> 00:51:58.119
 with all those in whom God's love resides

00:51:58.119 --> 00:52:01.119
 when we break bread together

00:52:01.119 --> 00:52:03.119
 we are expressing our unity

00:52:04.119 --> 00:52:05.119
 and our love for one another

00:52:06.119 --> 00:52:08.119
 our need of each other

00:52:09.119 --> 00:52:11.119
 our care and respect for one another

00:52:12.119 --> 00:52:15.119
 we need the older ones

00:52:16.119 --> 00:52:17.119
 we need the younger ones

00:52:18.119 --> 00:52:21.119
 we need the ones who have many problems in their lives

00:52:22.119 --> 00:52:24.119
 that need our care and support

00:52:24.119 --> 00:52:26.119
 we need the straightforward ones

00:52:26.119 --> 00:52:27.119
 we need the complicated ones

00:52:27.119 --> 00:52:30.119
 and the blood is over the doorposts

00:52:31.119 --> 00:52:32.119
 and it says stay together

00:52:33.119 --> 00:52:34.119
 as the family

00:52:35.119 --> 00:52:36.119
 stay together

00:52:37.119 --> 00:52:38.119
 under the blood

00:52:39.119 --> 00:52:41.119
 don't be jealous of one another

00:52:42.119 --> 00:52:43.119
 don't despise one another

00:52:44.119 --> 00:52:45.119
 forgive one another

00:52:46.119 --> 00:52:47.119
 maintain unity

00:52:48.119 --> 00:52:50.119
 if he is your lamb

00:52:50.119 --> 00:52:51.119
 and you love him

00:52:51.119 --> 00:52:53.119
 and these are your people

00:52:53.119 --> 00:52:54.119
 and you love them

00:52:55.119 --> 00:52:57.119
 there is one place where we need to be

00:52:58.119 --> 00:53:01.119
 and that is eating and drinking

00:53:02.119 --> 00:53:03.119
 in memory of him

00:53:04.119 --> 00:53:06.119
 celebrating our saviour's love

00:53:07.119 --> 00:53:08.119
 and victory

00:53:09.119 --> 00:53:10.119
 his Passover

00:53:11.119 --> 00:53:12.119
 his exodus

00:53:13.119 --> 00:53:14.119
 and then at the table

00:53:14.119 --> 00:53:15.119
 we are not saying look at me

00:53:16.119 --> 00:53:18.119
 we are saying look at my saviour

00:53:18.119 --> 00:53:21.119
 who gave his body and his blood

00:53:21.119 --> 00:53:22.119
 to wash

00:53:23.119 --> 00:53:24.119
 me

00:53:25.119 --> 00:53:27.119
 what is the right way to come

00:53:28.119 --> 00:53:30.119
 confessing our sins to the Lord

00:53:31.119 --> 00:53:32.119
 in confidence

00:53:33.119 --> 00:53:35.119
 that they are blotted out

00:53:36.119 --> 00:53:37.119
 at the cross

00:53:38.119 --> 00:53:40.119
 and to come expecting

00:53:41.119 --> 00:53:43.119
 more of Jesus

00:53:44.119 --> 00:53:46.119
 more of the Lord

00:53:46.119 --> 00:53:47.119
 the Lord

00:53:47.119 --> 00:53:48.119
 who has given us

00:53:48.119 --> 00:53:49.119
 his all

00:53:49.119 --> 00:53:53.119
 I just want to

00:53:54.119 --> 00:53:55.119
 pray that we might all

00:53:56.119 --> 00:53:58.119
 be right with God

00:53:59.119 --> 00:54:00.119
 and confess our sins

00:54:01.119 --> 00:54:02.119
 and if there is someone

00:54:03.119 --> 00:54:04.119
 who is not at the table

00:54:05.119 --> 00:54:06.119
 who perhaps ought to be

00:54:07.119 --> 00:54:08.119
 will you do something about that

00:54:09.119 --> 00:54:11.119
 merciful Father you have

00:54:12.119 --> 00:54:13.119
 given your son

00:54:13.119 --> 00:54:15.119
 and there is no greater gift

00:54:16.119 --> 00:54:17.119
 and he has given his body

00:54:18.119 --> 00:54:19.119
 and his blood

00:54:20.119 --> 00:54:21.119
 and the water that flowed

00:54:22.119 --> 00:54:24.119
 he has given his all

00:54:25.119 --> 00:54:26.119
 it is finished

00:54:27.119 --> 00:54:28.119
 forgive us when we

00:54:29.119 --> 00:54:30.119
 forget him

00:54:31.119 --> 00:54:32.119
 and his sacrifice

00:54:33.119 --> 00:54:34.119
 forgive us when we

00:54:35.119 --> 00:54:36.119
 blunder into sin and forget

00:54:37.119 --> 00:54:38.119
 that we are crucifying the Lord

00:54:38.119 --> 00:54:39.119
 Lord all over again

00:54:40.119 --> 00:54:42.119
 forgive us that our

00:54:43.119 --> 00:54:44.119
 love is such a poor return

00:54:45.119 --> 00:54:46.119
 for his love

00:54:47.119 --> 00:54:50.119
 enable us to come and sit at this table today

00:54:51.119 --> 00:54:52.119
 forgiven

00:54:53.119 --> 00:54:54.119
 washed

00:54:55.119 --> 00:54:56.119
 cleansed

00:54:57.119 --> 00:54:58.119
 and in fellowship with God

00:54:59.119 --> 00:55:00.119
 through Jesus Christ our Lord

00:55:01.119 --> 00:55:02.119
 Amen

00:55:03.119 --> 00:55:04.119
 we will

00:55:04.119 --> 00:55:05.119
 be seated

00:55:05.119 --> 00:55:06.119
 if we are not already seated

00:55:06.119 --> 00:55:07.119
 at the table

00:55:08.119 --> 00:55:09.119
 for sharing in communion

00:55:24.119 --> 00:55:25.119
 when I was in my haste

00:55:25.119 --> 00:55:27.119
 that all men liars be

00:55:28.119 --> 00:55:30.119
 what shall I render to the Lord

00:55:31.119 --> 00:55:32.119
 for all his gifts

00:55:33.119 --> 00:55:34.119
 to me

00:55:35.119 --> 00:55:36.119
 we stand and sing

00:55:36.119 --> 00:55:37.119
 I said

00:55:37.119 --> 00:55:40.119
 I said

00:55:41.119 --> 00:55:46.119
 when I was in my haste

00:55:47.119 --> 00:55:48.119

 for all his gifts to me

00:56:14.119 --> 00:56:16.119
 I'll love salvation

00:56:16.119 --> 00:56:18.119
 take the cup

00:56:18.119 --> 00:56:21.119
 on God's name

00:56:22.119 --> 00:56:25.119
 will I call

00:56:26.119 --> 00:56:38.119
 I'll pay my vows now to the Lord

00:56:39.119 --> 00:56:44.119
 before his people all

00:56:44.119 --> 00:56:50.119
 dear in God's sight

00:56:51.119 --> 00:56:54.119
 is his saints death

00:56:55.119 --> 00:56:57.119
 thy servant

00:56:58.119 --> 00:57:01.119
 Lord am I

00:57:02.119 --> 00:57:04.119
 thy servant

00:57:05.119 --> 00:57:06.119
 sure

00:57:07.119 --> 00:57:09.119
 thine handmaid

00:57:10.119 --> 00:57:11.119
 son

00:57:11.119 --> 00:57:14.119
 thy

00:57:14.119 --> 00:57:18.119
 guy

00:57:19.119 --> 00:57:22.119
 the

00:57:23.119 --> 00:57:25.119
 name

00:57:25.119 --> 00:57:28.119
x

00:57:28.119 --> 00:57:32.119
提

00:57:32.119 --> 00:57:35.480
 call. I'll

00:57:35.480 --> 00:57:39.579
 pay my vows now

00:57:39.579 --> 00:57:43.980
 to the Lord before

00:57:43.980 --> 00:57:49.920
 his people all.

00:57:50.699 --> 00:57:53.900
 Within the

00:57:53.900 --> 00:57:57.980
 courts of God's own

00:57:57.980 --> 00:58:00.259
 house, within

00:58:00.260 --> 00:58:04.240
 the midst of

00:58:04.240 --> 00:58:07.120
 thee, O

00:58:07.120 --> 00:58:10.400
 city of

00:58:10.400 --> 00:58:12.440
 Jerusalem,

00:58:14.320 --> 00:58:16.440
 praise to

00:58:16.440 --> 00:58:18.460
 the Lord

00:58:18.460 --> 00:58:20.520
 give ye.

00:58:28.100 --> 00:58:30.020
 Brothers and sisters,

00:58:30.260 --> 00:58:31.440
 as we gather

00:58:31.440 --> 00:58:32.380
 together at the

00:58:32.380 --> 00:58:34.240
 Lord's table, it is

00:58:34.240 --> 00:58:35.360
 right that we should

00:58:35.360 --> 00:58:37.080
 remind ourselves of

00:58:37.080 --> 00:58:38.560
 the words of

00:58:38.560 --> 00:58:40.760
 institution and that

00:58:40.760 --> 00:58:42.400
 we should use these

00:58:42.400 --> 00:58:43.920
 to help us to

00:58:43.920 --> 00:58:45.200
 prepare our hearts

00:58:45.200 --> 00:58:46.880
 for where we are

00:58:46.880 --> 00:58:48.400
 and what we are

00:58:48.400 --> 00:58:49.500
 here to do.

00:58:50.600 --> 00:58:52.240
 Paul says in

00:58:52.240 --> 00:58:53.500
 1 Corinthians 11,

00:58:53.500 --> 00:58:54.659
 for I received from

00:58:54.659 --> 00:58:56.059
 the Lord what I

00:58:56.059 --> 00:58:57.079
 also delivered to

00:58:57.079 --> 00:58:57.480
 you.

00:58:58.159 --> 00:58:59.380
 The Lord Jesus on

00:58:59.380 --> 00:59:00.239
 the night which he

00:59:00.239 --> 00:59:01.239
 was betrayed took

00:59:01.239 --> 00:59:01.679
 bread.

00:59:02.480 --> 00:59:02.940
 And when he had

00:59:02.940 --> 00:59:03.940
 given thanks, he

00:59:03.940 --> 00:59:05.239
 broke it and said,

00:59:05.400 --> 00:59:06.940
 this is my body

00:59:06.940 --> 00:59:09.039
 which is for you.

00:59:09.780 --> 00:59:11.059
 Do this in

00:59:11.059 --> 00:59:12.599
 remembrance of me.

00:59:13.679 --> 00:59:14.619
 In the same way

00:59:14.619 --> 00:59:16.360
 also, he took the

00:59:16.360 --> 00:59:17.519
 cup after supper

00:59:17.519 --> 00:59:19.679
 saying, this cup is

00:59:19.679 --> 00:59:20.500
 the new covenant

00:59:20.500 --> 00:59:21.779
 in my blood.

00:59:22.539 --> 00:59:23.639
 Do this as often

00:59:23.639 --> 00:59:24.739
 as you drink it

00:59:24.739 --> 00:59:26.799
 in remembrance of me.

00:59:27.699 --> 00:59:28.719
 For as often as you

00:59:28.719 --> 00:59:29.500
 eat this bread

00:59:29.500 --> 00:59:30.960
 and drink this cup,

00:59:31.639 --> 00:59:32.539
 you proclaim

00:59:32.539 --> 00:59:34.579
 the Lord's death

00:59:34.579 --> 00:59:36.179
 until

00:59:36.179 --> 00:59:38.339
 he comes.

00:59:38.340 --> 00:59:41.400
 in the moment

00:59:41.400 --> 00:59:42.460
 we're going to

00:59:42.460 --> 00:59:44.140
 give our thanks

00:59:44.140 --> 00:59:44.920
 in prayer

00:59:44.920 --> 00:59:46.059
 and then

00:59:46.059 --> 00:59:47.760
 express our thanks

00:59:47.760 --> 00:59:49.079
 in sharing

00:59:49.079 --> 00:59:50.539
 this gospel

00:59:50.539 --> 00:59:51.140
 sign

00:59:51.140 --> 00:59:52.700
 with one another.

00:59:53.920 --> 00:59:54.960
 The gospel

00:59:54.960 --> 00:59:55.920
 of John

00:59:55.920 --> 00:59:57.600
 has a Passover

00:59:57.600 --> 00:59:58.620
 near the beginning

00:59:58.620 --> 01:00:00.519
 and a Passover

01:00:00.519 --> 01:00:01.680
 right at the end.

01:00:02.700 --> 01:00:03.200
 The Passover

01:00:03.200 --> 01:00:04.100
 at the beginning

01:00:04.100 --> 01:00:05.480
 is marking

01:00:05.480 --> 01:00:06.120
 the beginning

01:00:06.120 --> 01:00:07.340
 of Jesus' ministry

01:00:07.340 --> 01:00:08.180
 and after his

01:00:08.180 --> 01:00:09.240
 first sign,

01:00:10.160 --> 01:00:11.300
 what does Jesus do?

01:00:12.620 --> 01:00:13.720
 He goes into

01:00:13.720 --> 01:00:14.880
 his father's house

01:00:14.880 --> 01:00:17.220
 and he is appalled.

01:00:18.420 --> 01:00:19.579
 They're making money

01:00:19.579 --> 01:00:20.960
 and they're making

01:00:20.960 --> 01:00:21.660
 a mockery

01:00:21.660 --> 01:00:23.380
 and he wants

01:00:23.380 --> 01:00:24.740
 to cleanse the house

01:00:24.740 --> 01:00:27.320
 not because he's angry

01:00:27.320 --> 01:00:29.640
 but because poor ones,

01:00:29.800 --> 01:00:30.740
 sinful ones

01:00:30.740 --> 01:00:32.100
 are not getting

01:00:32.100 --> 01:00:33.220
 near the gospel

01:00:33.220 --> 01:00:35.860
 through all the nonsense

01:00:35.860 --> 01:00:37.120
 and the politics

01:00:37.119 --> 01:00:37.960
 and the commerce

01:00:37.960 --> 01:00:40.259
 and he makes

01:00:40.259 --> 01:00:40.759
 a whip

01:00:40.759 --> 01:00:42.380
 and he chases

01:00:42.380 --> 01:00:42.920
 away

01:00:42.920 --> 01:00:44.460
 these fakes

01:00:44.460 --> 01:00:45.500
 and frauds

01:00:45.500 --> 01:00:47.199
 who only care

01:00:47.199 --> 01:00:47.920
 about power

01:00:47.920 --> 01:00:48.500
 and money.

01:00:50.400 --> 01:00:51.079
 And the scripture

01:00:51.079 --> 01:00:52.000
 was quoted,

01:00:53.859 --> 01:00:54.579
 zeal,

01:00:55.579 --> 01:00:57.000
 zeal

01:00:57.000 --> 01:01:00.859
 for your heart

01:01:00.860 --> 01:01:03.120
 has eaten

01:01:03.120 --> 01:01:03.860
 has eaten me up.

01:01:05.860 --> 01:01:06.440
 It's right

01:01:06.440 --> 01:01:07.059
 at the beginning

01:01:07.059 --> 01:01:08.559
 of the public ministry.

01:01:10.059 --> 01:01:10.980
 He's going to

01:01:10.980 --> 01:01:11.860
 purify

01:01:11.860 --> 01:01:12.860
 a temple

01:01:12.860 --> 01:01:17.640
 by exposing

01:01:17.640 --> 01:01:18.420
 lies

01:01:18.420 --> 01:01:21.120
 and showing

01:01:21.120 --> 01:01:21.700
 the glory

01:01:21.700 --> 01:01:22.380
 of God.

01:01:22.920 --> 01:01:23.480
 He's going to

01:01:23.480 --> 01:01:24.660
 build a temple,

01:01:25.079 --> 01:01:26.280
 unite a temple

01:01:26.280 --> 01:01:27.720
 and it will not

01:01:27.720 --> 01:01:28.600
 be a temple

01:01:28.600 --> 01:01:29.600
 with stone

01:01:29.600 --> 01:01:30.500
 and lime

01:01:30.500 --> 01:01:31.820
 with gold

01:01:31.820 --> 01:01:32.980
 and wools.

01:01:33.980 --> 01:01:35.700
 It will be a temple

01:01:35.700 --> 01:01:37.320
 of his body.

01:01:39.320 --> 01:01:40.700
 Well, he did that

01:01:40.699 --> 01:01:43.859
 and his body

01:01:43.859 --> 01:01:44.799
 gathers

01:01:44.799 --> 01:01:45.879
 Lord's day

01:01:45.879 --> 01:01:47.119
 by Lord's day

01:01:47.119 --> 01:01:48.460
 to worship

01:01:48.460 --> 01:01:50.139
 and the head

01:01:50.139 --> 01:01:50.759
 of the body

01:01:50.759 --> 01:01:51.759
 is with the body

01:01:51.759 --> 01:01:53.879
 and he gave

01:01:53.879 --> 01:01:54.539
 his body

01:01:54.539 --> 01:01:56.099
 to nourish

01:01:56.099 --> 01:01:57.239
 you

01:01:57.239 --> 01:01:58.059
 his body.

01:01:59.339 --> 01:02:00.779
 So be encouraged.

01:02:02.219 --> 01:02:02.619
 Jesus

01:02:02.619 --> 01:02:03.899
 will build

01:02:03.899 --> 01:02:05.159
 and is building

01:02:05.159 --> 01:02:07.179
 his church

01:02:07.179 --> 01:02:08.920
 across the world

01:02:08.920 --> 01:02:09.519
 today.

01:02:10.859 --> 01:02:12.079
 It's a small part

01:02:12.079 --> 01:02:12.440
 of it

01:02:12.440 --> 01:02:13.960
 but his eye

01:02:13.960 --> 01:02:14.519
 is on it

01:02:14.519 --> 01:02:15.480
 and he loves it

01:02:15.480 --> 01:02:17.339
 and he will

01:02:17.339 --> 01:02:18.819
 never take his eye

01:02:18.819 --> 01:02:19.940
 off his people.

01:02:21.019 --> 01:02:22.139
 So lift up

01:02:22.139 --> 01:02:23.000
 your heart

01:02:23.000 --> 01:02:24.619
 in worship

01:02:24.619 --> 01:02:25.239
 and in

01:02:25.239 --> 01:02:25.980
 thanksgiving.

01:02:27.199 --> 01:02:28.079
 Gracious Lord,

01:02:28.079 --> 01:02:29.179
 we find

01:02:29.179 --> 01:02:30.359
 ourselves again

01:02:30.359 --> 01:02:32.339
 at a table

01:02:32.339 --> 01:02:33.420
 that we do not

01:02:33.420 --> 01:02:34.899
 deserve to be at

01:02:34.900 --> 01:02:37.539
 but our shame

01:02:37.539 --> 01:02:39.599
 and dishonor

01:02:39.599 --> 01:02:41.119
 was nailed

01:02:41.119 --> 01:02:41.980
 to the tree

01:02:41.980 --> 01:02:43.700
 and so

01:02:43.700 --> 01:02:45.480
 in Jesus' name

01:02:45.480 --> 01:02:47.680
 and for his sake

01:02:47.680 --> 01:02:49.660
 we draw near

01:02:49.660 --> 01:02:51.660
 and we ask

01:02:51.660 --> 01:02:52.380
 that today

01:02:52.380 --> 01:02:53.039
 again

01:02:53.039 --> 01:02:54.320
 the Lord

01:02:54.320 --> 01:02:55.059
 will build

01:02:55.059 --> 01:02:56.119
 his people up

01:02:56.119 --> 01:02:57.320
 and build

01:02:57.320 --> 01:02:58.420
 his house up

01:02:58.420 --> 01:02:59.920
 give us

01:02:59.920 --> 01:03:00.680
 a zeal

01:03:00.680 --> 01:03:02.280
 for Christ

01:03:02.280 --> 01:03:03.460
 and his work

01:03:03.460 --> 01:03:05.820
 may we learn

01:03:05.820 --> 01:03:06.860
 from his zeal

01:03:06.860 --> 01:03:09.159
 to pay a price

01:03:09.159 --> 01:03:11.000
 to be holy

01:03:11.000 --> 01:03:13.159
 and to pay a price

01:03:13.159 --> 01:03:14.679
 to be bold

01:03:14.679 --> 01:03:16.280
 and to be witnesses

01:03:16.280 --> 01:03:18.440
 and to pay a price

01:03:18.440 --> 01:03:20.380
 to be on the side

01:03:20.380 --> 01:03:21.099
 of truth

01:03:21.099 --> 01:03:22.920
 may we not

01:03:22.920 --> 01:03:23.720
 draw back

01:03:23.720 --> 01:03:24.579
 in unbelief

01:03:24.579 --> 01:03:26.300
 but may we go

01:03:26.300 --> 01:03:27.099
 forward

01:03:27.099 --> 01:03:28.380
 in faith

01:03:28.380 --> 01:03:29.860
 and trust

01:03:29.860 --> 01:03:31.760
 to the one

01:03:31.760 --> 01:03:32.980
 whose side

01:03:32.980 --> 01:03:34.079
 was torn

01:03:34.079 --> 01:03:36.380
 so that blood

 this cup

01:03:54.640 --> 01:03:57.140
 sign of your blood

01:03:57.139 --> 01:03:59.119

01:03:59.119 --> 01:03:59.679

01:03:59.679 --> 01:04:00.359

01:04:00.359 --> 01:04:01.839
 as we eat

01:04:01.839 --> 01:04:02.500
 and drink

01:04:02.500 --> 01:04:03.759
 may we do

01:04:03.759 --> 01:04:04.619
 all this

01:04:04.619 --> 01:04:06.339
 to your glory

01:04:06.339 --> 01:04:09.339
 on the night

01:04:09.339 --> 01:04:10.019
 that our

01:04:10.019 --> 01:04:10.719
 saviour

01:04:10.719 --> 01:04:11.639
 was betrayed

01:04:11.639 --> 01:04:12.759
 he took bread

01:04:12.759 --> 01:04:13.519
 and having given

01:04:13.519 --> 01:04:14.039
 thanks

01:04:14.039 --> 01:04:14.859
 he broke it

01:04:14.859 --> 01:04:15.219
 saying

01:04:15.219 --> 01:04:16.119
 take eat

01:04:16.119 --> 01:04:17.299
 this is my

01:04:17.299 --> 01:04:17.859
 body

01:04:17.859 --> 01:04:18.839
 which is

01:04:18.839 --> 01:04:19.379
 broken

01:04:19.379 --> 01:04:20.279
 for you

01:04:20.279 --> 01:04:22.019
 do this

01:04:22.019 --> 01:04:23.639
 in remembrance

01:04:23.639 --> 01:04:25.059
 of me

01:04:25.059 --> 01:04:30.880
 our saviour

01:04:30.880 --> 01:04:31.460
 took the

01:04:31.460 --> 01:04:31.880
 cup

01:04:31.880 --> 01:04:33.119
 saying

01:04:33.119 --> 01:04:33.779
 this cup

01:04:33.779 --> 01:04:34.139
 is the

01:04:34.139 --> 01:04:34.759
 new covenant

01:04:34.759 --> 01:04:35.219
 the new

01:04:35.219 --> 01:04:35.679
 testament

01:04:35.679 --> 01:04:36.199
 in my

01:04:36.199 --> 01:04:36.739
 blood

01:04:36.739 --> 01:04:37.880
 drink you

01:04:37.880 --> 01:04:38.920
 all of it

01:04:38.920 --> 01:04:39.639
 when you

01:04:39.639 --> 01:04:40.039
 eat this

01:04:40.039 --> 01:04:40.420
 bread

01:04:40.420 --> 01:04:40.940
 and drink

01:04:40.940 --> 01:04:41.679
 this cup

01:04:41.679 --> 01:04:42.900
 you proclaim

01:04:42.900 --> 01:04:43.880
 the lord's

01:04:43.880 --> 01:04:44.400
 death

01:04:44.400 --> 01:04:45.920
 until he

01:04:45.920 --> 01:04:46.739
 comes

01:04:46.739 --> 01:04:49.000
 the bread

01:04:49.000 --> 01:04:50.019
 of his

01:04:50.019 --> 01:04:50.739
 presence

01:04:50.739 --> 01:04:52.239
 the bread

01:04:52.239 --> 01:04:52.880
 that speaks

01:04:52.880 --> 01:04:53.680
 of his body

01:04:53.680 --> 01:04:55.180
 the cup

01:04:55.180 --> 01:04:56.140
 of his blood

01:04:56.140 --> 01:04:57.579
 his covenant

01:04:57.579 --> 01:04:58.860
 his love

01:04:58.860 --> 01:05:00.840
 eat and drink

01:05:00.840 --> 01:05:01.900
 the gifts

01:05:01.900 --> 01:05:02.640
 of God

01:05:02.640 --> 01:05:04.140
 to the glory

01:05:04.140 --> 01:05:04.740
 of God

01:05:04.740 --> 01:05:09.860
 it's lovely

01:05:09.860 --> 01:05:11.460
 to see you

01:05:11.460 --> 01:05:12.480
 and to be

01:05:12.480 --> 01:05:13.140
 with you

01:05:13.140 --> 01:05:14.440
 and to share

01:05:14.440 --> 01:05:14.940
 and worship

01:05:14.940 --> 01:05:15.619
 with you

01:05:15.619 --> 01:05:17.280
 and there is

01:05:17.280 --> 01:05:19.240
 a connection

01:05:19.240 --> 01:05:20.420
 that we have

01:05:20.420 --> 01:05:21.880
 with one

01:05:21.880 --> 01:05:22.280
 another

01:05:22.280 --> 01:05:23.780
 and with

01:05:23.780 --> 01:05:24.340
 our lord

01:05:24.340 --> 01:05:25.019
 when we are

01:05:25.019 --> 01:05:25.420
 able to

01:05:25.420 --> 01:05:25.860
 break

01:05:25.860 --> 01:05:27.200
 the bread

01:05:27.200 --> 01:05:29.460
 and share

01:05:29.460 --> 01:05:30.059
 the cup

01:05:30.059 --> 01:05:31.320
 with one

01:05:31.320 --> 01:05:31.700
 another

01:05:31.700 --> 01:05:32.220
 that is

01:05:32.220 --> 01:05:33.960
 a wonderful

01:05:33.960 --> 01:05:34.960
 signpost

01:05:34.960 --> 01:05:35.340
 of the

01:05:35.340 --> 01:05:35.760
 future

01:05:35.760 --> 01:05:37.880
 of a world

01:05:37.880 --> 01:05:38.599
 that we have

01:05:38.599 --> 01:05:39.059
 not yet

01:05:39.059 --> 01:05:39.480
 seen

01:05:39.480 --> 01:05:41.780
 of a love

01:05:41.780 --> 01:05:43.659
 and of a

01:05:43.659 --> 01:05:44.119
 peace

01:05:44.119 --> 01:05:45.960
 that we

01:05:45.960 --> 01:05:46.760
 can hardly

01:05:46.760 --> 01:05:47.500
 imagine

01:05:47.500 --> 01:05:49.639
 today

01:05:49.639 --> 01:05:50.599
 is supposed

01:05:50.599 --> 01:05:51.460
 to strengthen

01:05:51.460 --> 01:05:52.599
 us on the way

01:05:52.599 --> 01:05:54.739
 when we

01:05:54.739 --> 01:05:55.199
 come to

01:05:55.199 --> 01:05:55.760
 the lord's

01:05:55.760 --> 01:05:56.219
 table

01:05:56.219 --> 01:05:59.000
 we come

01:05:59.000 --> 01:06:00.980
 to

01:06:00.980 --> 01:06:01.920
 experience

01:06:01.920 --> 01:06:03.199
 two postures

01:06:03.199 --> 01:06:05.719
 two ways

01:06:05.719 --> 01:06:06.480
 of being

01:06:06.480 --> 01:06:08.820
 one is

01:06:08.820 --> 01:06:09.539
 lowly

01:06:09.539 --> 01:06:11.860
 to humble

01:06:11.860 --> 01:06:12.539
 ourselves

01:06:12.539 --> 01:06:15.320
 but by

01:06:15.320 --> 01:06:16.159
 design

01:06:16.159 --> 01:06:16.899
 the other

01:06:16.899 --> 01:06:17.579
 posture

01:06:17.579 --> 01:06:19.139
 is not

01:06:19.139 --> 01:06:19.639
 lowly

01:06:19.639 --> 01:06:20.019
 but it

01:06:20.019 --> 01:06:20.359
 is to

01:06:20.359 --> 01:06:20.539
 be

01:06:20.539 --> 01:06:20.980
 lifted

01:06:20.980 --> 01:06:21.859
 up

01:06:21.859 --> 01:06:24.239
 for

01:06:24.239 --> 01:06:24.839
 he

01:06:24.839 --> 01:06:25.500
 went

01:06:25.500 --> 01:06:26.239
 down

01:06:26.239 --> 01:06:27.480
 for us

01:06:27.480 --> 01:06:29.359
 on the

01:06:29.359 --> 01:06:29.779
 cross

01:06:29.779 --> 01:06:31.159
 and he

01:06:31.159 --> 01:06:31.639
 has now

01:06:31.639 --> 01:06:32.339
 been lifted

01:06:32.339 --> 01:06:32.879
 up and

01:06:32.879 --> 01:06:33.460
 exalted

01:06:33.460 --> 01:06:35.559
 so when

01:06:35.559 --> 01:06:35.980
 we come

01:06:35.980 --> 01:06:36.359
 to the

01:06:36.359 --> 01:06:36.779
 table

01:06:36.779 --> 01:06:37.719
 by faith

01:06:37.719 --> 01:06:40.480
 we say

01:06:40.480 --> 01:06:41.219
 even with

01:06:41.219 --> 01:06:41.559
 some of

01:06:41.559 --> 01:06:42.000
 the old

01:06:42.000 --> 01:06:42.480
 church

01:06:42.480 --> 01:06:43.000
 fathers

01:06:43.000 --> 01:06:43.619
 from long

01:06:43.619 --> 01:06:43.980
 ago

01:06:43.980 --> 01:06:45.599
 that we

01:06:45.599 --> 01:06:46.280
 have to

01:06:46.280 --> 01:06:46.900
 repent

01:06:46.900 --> 01:06:48.460
 not only

01:06:48.460 --> 01:06:48.840
 of our

01:06:48.840 --> 01:06:49.500
 wickedness

01:06:49.500 --> 01:06:50.039
 but even

01:06:50.039 --> 01:06:50.480
 of our

01:06:50.480 --> 01:06:51.099
 righteousness

01:06:51.099 --> 01:06:53.380
 our good

01:06:53.380 --> 01:06:53.900
 things are

01:06:53.900 --> 01:06:54.280
 not as

01:06:54.280 --> 01:06:54.639
 good as

01:06:54.639 --> 01:06:55.300
 we imagine

01:06:55.300 --> 01:06:57.480
 we've got

01:06:57.480 --> 01:06:57.920
 to give it

01:06:57.920 --> 01:06:58.639
 all up and

01:06:58.639 --> 01:06:59.320
 say Jesus

01:06:59.320 --> 01:06:59.920
 you are the

01:06:59.920 --> 01:07:00.320
 one I

01:07:00.320 --> 01:07:00.619
 need

01:07:00.619 --> 01:07:01.039
 that's

01:07:01.039 --> 01:07:01.360
 going

01:07:01.360 --> 01:07:01.840
 down

01:07:01.840 --> 01:07:04.179
 and he

01:07:04.179 --> 01:07:04.880
 reaches out

01:07:04.880 --> 01:07:05.659
 his hand

01:07:05.659 --> 01:07:07.719
 and he

01:07:07.719 --> 01:07:08.579
 feeds us

01:07:08.579 --> 01:07:10.739
 and he

01:07:10.739 --> 01:07:11.380
 says let

01:07:11.380 --> 01:07:11.759
 me lift

01:07:11.759 --> 01:07:12.279
 you up

01:07:12.279 --> 01:07:14.400
 spend the

01:07:14.400 --> 01:07:14.880
 rest of

01:07:14.880 --> 01:07:15.460
 this day

01:07:15.460 --> 01:07:15.940
 as my

01:07:15.940 --> 01:07:16.539
 ambassador

01:07:16.539 --> 01:07:17.960
 spend the

01:07:17.960 --> 01:07:18.380
 rest of

01:07:18.380 --> 01:07:19.019
 this week

01:07:19.019 --> 01:07:19.579
 as my

01:07:19.579 --> 01:07:20.259
 ambassador

01:07:20.259 --> 01:07:21.819
 go from

01:07:21.819 --> 01:07:22.699
 this place

01:07:22.699 --> 01:07:23.860
 and say

01:07:23.860 --> 01:07:25.599
 my lord

01:07:25.599 --> 01:07:27.239
 was good

01:07:27.239 --> 01:07:27.779
 to me

01:07:27.779 --> 01:07:30.159
 my lord

01:07:30.159 --> 01:07:32.159
 gave his

01:07:32.159 --> 01:07:33.360
 side

01:07:33.360 --> 01:07:35.659
 to the

01:07:35.659 --> 01:07:36.079
 spear

01:07:36.079 --> 01:07:37.860
 for me

01:07:37.860 --> 01:07:40.900
 my lord

01:07:40.900 --> 01:07:41.840
 washed me

01:07:41.840 --> 01:07:44.199
 and I

01:07:44.199 --> 01:07:44.759
 am clean

01:07:44.759 --> 01:07:46.779
 rock of

01:07:46.779 --> 01:07:47.239
 ages

01:07:47.239 --> 01:07:47.819
 cleft

01:07:47.819 --> 01:07:48.400
 for me

01:07:48.400 --> 01:07:49.799
 let me

01:07:49.799 --> 01:07:50.279
 hide

01:07:50.279 --> 01:07:51.000
 myself

01:07:51.000 --> 01:07:51.559
 in thee

01:07:51.559 --> 01:07:52.960
 let the

01:07:52.960 --> 01:07:53.480
 water

01:07:53.480 --> 01:07:54.319
 and the

01:07:54.319 --> 01:07:54.840
 blood

01:07:54.840 --> 01:07:56.259
 from thy

01:07:56.259 --> 01:07:56.699
 riven

01:07:56.699 --> 01:07:57.400
 side

01:07:57.400 --> 01:07:57.739
 which

01:07:57.739 --> 01:07:58.079
 flowed
