00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.339
 There is some debate about the exact timing of the events recorded here in Mark chapter 12.

00:00:09.720 --> 00:00:17.059
 But one of the things that we are certain of is that these discussions that Jesus is having here

00:00:17.059 --> 00:00:24.740
 between these different groups of religious leaders took place somewhere between 24 and 48 hours

00:00:24.740 --> 00:00:28.480
 prior to the Passover celebration in Jerusalem.

00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:33.679
 And we've talked about this a little bit in the build-up through these last couple of chapters

00:00:33.679 --> 00:00:40.480
 at the busyness that would have been the city of Jerusalem at that time.

00:00:41.120 --> 00:00:45.679
 You remember maybe some weeks ago we talked about an early historian, Jewish historian,

00:00:45.880 --> 00:00:52.579
 had talked about just a few years after this about two and a half million people had gathered in Jerusalem

00:00:52.579 --> 00:00:55.079
 for the Passover celebration.

00:00:55.079 --> 00:01:00.619
 So you can just imagine in old city Jerusalem, not the metropolis that it is now,

00:01:00.699 --> 00:01:04.900
 but old city Jerusalem, you can imagine just hordes of people,

00:01:05.060 --> 00:01:08.019
 the busyness that comes along really even around the temple

00:01:08.019 --> 00:01:12.239
 with the events leading up to the Passover celebration

00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:15.980
 and the Feast of Unleavened Bread that would follow thereafter.

00:01:15.980 --> 00:01:24.680
 And in the midst of all of that, there's no question that the gospel authors intended for us to understand

00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:31.280
 this section of Jesus' life and teaching in light of the Passover itself,

00:01:31.980 --> 00:01:37.939
 in light of the theological significance of what the Passover was in the Old Testament

00:01:37.939 --> 00:01:46.340
 and for the Jews and what that was going to mean in regards to Jesus' life and his death and his resurrection.

00:01:46.819 --> 00:01:49.539
 But I'm certain that during this Passover week,

00:01:50.579 --> 00:01:55.900
 thoughts of the Messiah would have been ever present in the minds

00:01:55.900 --> 00:01:59.640
 and in the conversations of the people in Jerusalem.

00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:02.320
 It just makes sense, right?

00:02:02.420 --> 00:02:06.900
 The point of the Passover is to reflect on the Exodus coming out of Egypt, right?

00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:10.319
 They're reflecting on the goodness of God in that Exodus

00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:14.580
 and then in the midst of that, they are anticipating another Exodus.

00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:21.000
 They're anticipating a Messiah who will come and rescue them in their minds

00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:30.699
 from Roman oppression in the same way that God had delivered the nation out of Egyptian oppression so many years before.

00:02:30.699 --> 00:02:36.900
 For this particular Passover week, the presence of Jesus in Jerusalem

00:02:36.900 --> 00:02:45.680
 certainly would have tremendously heightened this awareness of Messianic prophecy and expectation.

00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:55.319
 So it makes perfect sense then that Jesus would teach a lesson on the identity and purpose of the Christ,

00:02:55.700 --> 00:02:59.040
 which is exactly what verses 35 to 37 are.

00:03:00.040 --> 00:03:04.180
 He's asking questions in order that he might get the people to consider

00:03:04.180 --> 00:03:10.060
 or perhaps reconsider their thoughts about the Messiah and his purpose.

00:03:10.060 --> 00:03:16.759
 So the religious leaders have taken their turns at trying to trap Jesus in his words,

00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:24.659
 but his responses to their, quote, unanswerable questions are not only adequate, they're profound.

00:03:25.580 --> 00:03:30.219
 So that we read in our last passage that no one dared ask him another question.

00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:33.080
 And so Jesus turns the tables now.

00:03:33.539 --> 00:03:38.460
 He asks a question of his own, a question as far as the New Testament records are concerned,

00:03:38.460 --> 00:03:42.879
 were unanswered by the people in the crowd.

00:03:43.640 --> 00:03:52.560
 Using the Bible, Jesus challenged the errant assumptions about the Messiah that were so common in Israel,

00:03:53.100 --> 00:03:57.180
 and he was leading them to examine his true identity.

00:03:57.939 --> 00:04:01.460
 Now, do you remember Mark's purpose in writing this gospel?

00:04:01.980 --> 00:04:05.480
 All the way back in the very first verse of chapter one,

00:04:05.780 --> 00:04:07.719
 what does Mark say his intent is?

00:04:07.719 --> 00:04:16.300
 His aim is to proclaim the good news that Jesus of Nazareth is the Messiah and the Son of God.

00:04:16.579 --> 00:04:19.959
 And everything that follows in Mark's gospel is serving that purpose.

00:04:20.220 --> 00:04:22.500
 Now we get to these three verses here.

00:04:22.680 --> 00:04:27.399
 And in a public forum in the midst of the temple area in Jerusalem,

00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:30.040
 Jesus takes on that same aim.

00:04:30.519 --> 00:04:32.180
 That's what these verses are doing.

00:04:32.180 --> 00:04:40.060
 Jesus is proclaiming the good news that he is the Messiah and the Son of God.

00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:42.079
 He's the Son of David.

00:04:43.280 --> 00:04:44.540
 He's the Son of God.

00:04:44.540 --> 00:04:51.080
 And I want to show you as we work through these verses that the Lord's questions here, rhetorical as they were,

00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:53.420
 were a matter of interpretation.

00:04:54.220 --> 00:04:55.819
 They're a matter of inspiration.

00:04:56.540 --> 00:04:59.220
 And then they're a matter of identification.

00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:07.640
 And my prayer is that we'll all come to hear him as gladly as the crowd heard him there in verse 37.

00:05:07.639 --> 00:05:10.779
 First, let's see a matter of interpretation.

00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:12.800
 A matter of interpretation.

00:05:13.300 --> 00:05:14.879
 Look with me at verse 35 again.

00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:17.300
 Jesus taught in the temple.

00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:19.139
 He said,

00:05:20.060 --> 00:05:25.500
 How can the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David?

00:05:26.199 --> 00:05:27.639
 That's the initial question.

00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:30.500
 Now, there's a lot of scribes around.

00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:35.399
 And Jesus is going to keep dealing with scribes as he goes on even beyond this conversation.

00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:39.259
 But as the midst of this great crowd that is gathered with him in the temple,

00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:40.539
 his first question is,

00:05:40.659 --> 00:05:43.759
 How can these fellows over here, your experts,

00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:51.259
 how can they say that Jesus, or not Jesus, but the Christ is the Son of David?

00:05:51.259 --> 00:05:57.300
 And just in case there may be anyone who is a little confused by that language,

00:05:57.639 --> 00:06:03.800
 let me just take a quick minute to refresh us on what we mean when we use this term Messiah.

00:06:04.139 --> 00:06:04.319
 Okay?

00:06:05.039 --> 00:06:06.939
 It starts all the way back in Genesis.

00:06:07.459 --> 00:06:07.620
 Right?

00:06:08.139 --> 00:06:15.240
 Genesis 3 records the very first sin committed by the very first people God created.

00:06:15.699 --> 00:06:17.759
 We know their names, Adam and Eve.

00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:20.099
 Because God is holy,

00:06:20.100 --> 00:06:22.480
 He has to judge sin.

00:06:23.320 --> 00:06:26.160
 And Adam's disobedience to the Lord in the garden

00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:28.960
 plunges the created world,

00:06:29.520 --> 00:06:30.780
 God's created world,

00:06:31.220 --> 00:06:33.480
 into and underneath

00:06:33.480 --> 00:06:36.160
 the wrath of God's judgment,

00:06:36.460 --> 00:06:37.760
 the curse of God's judgment.

00:06:37.860 --> 00:06:39.400
 That's what's happening in Genesis 3.

00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:41.980
 And the pinnacle of that judgment

00:06:41.980 --> 00:06:43.000
 is what?

00:06:43.820 --> 00:06:44.300
 Death.

00:06:45.180 --> 00:06:46.200
 That's the pinnacle of it.

00:06:46.220 --> 00:06:47.820
 There's lots of things related to the curse,

00:06:47.819 --> 00:06:54.399
 but it all eventually leads to the reality of and the certainty of death.

00:06:54.879 --> 00:07:00.959
 But while God is proclaiming those consequences in Genesis chapter 3,

00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:03.379
 He tucks in this promise.

00:07:03.379 --> 00:07:07.639
 This promise that He would, at some point,

00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:09.300
 send a Savior,

00:07:10.019 --> 00:07:13.159
 who would, as the Bible goes on to explain,

00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:15.719
 would defeat death

00:07:15.719 --> 00:07:18.339
 and would restore creation

00:07:18.339 --> 00:07:20.659
 to God's intended purpose.

00:07:20.660 --> 00:07:21.920
 God is saying,

00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:23.100
 and in His patience,

00:07:23.540 --> 00:07:25.280
 and in His long-suffering,

00:07:25.900 --> 00:07:27.660
 God allows man

00:07:27.660 --> 00:07:29.400
 to continue to exist.

00:07:29.780 --> 00:07:30.860
 Have you ever considered that?

00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:33.520
 God told Adam and Eve

00:07:33.520 --> 00:07:34.760
 one thing not to do.

00:07:35.540 --> 00:07:36.020
 And He said,

00:07:36.100 --> 00:07:37.480
 In the day that you eat of the tree,

00:07:37.960 --> 00:07:39.220
 you shall surely die.

00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:41.400
 And the day that they ate of it,

00:07:41.940 --> 00:07:43.980
 it would have been perfectly just

00:07:43.980 --> 00:07:44.640
 and within

00:07:44.640 --> 00:07:46.100
 the rightness

00:07:46.100 --> 00:07:47.400
 and righteousness of God

00:07:47.399 --> 00:07:49.359
 to do away with Adam and Eve

00:07:49.359 --> 00:07:50.699
 and to take away their lives

00:07:50.699 --> 00:07:51.699
 immediately in that moment.

00:07:52.219 --> 00:07:54.000
 But in His patience and long-suffering,

00:07:54.699 --> 00:07:56.979
 He continues to allow them to live

00:07:56.979 --> 00:07:58.500
 in a cursed world,

00:07:58.899 --> 00:07:59.799
 but they live.

00:07:59.959 --> 00:08:01.039
 That's a part of God's grace

00:08:01.039 --> 00:08:02.599
 coming through even from the very beginning.

00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:04.179
 And God has allowed

00:08:04.179 --> 00:08:06.379
 mankind to continue to exist

00:08:06.379 --> 00:08:07.579
 ever since.

00:08:08.560 --> 00:08:09.719
 But then He made

00:08:09.719 --> 00:08:11.799
 all of these different promises

00:08:11.799 --> 00:08:13.639
 at different points in history.

00:08:14.479 --> 00:08:15.000
 Covenants

00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:16.479
 He makes with His people.

00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:18.360
 each one

00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:20.080
 building on the other,

00:08:20.520 --> 00:08:22.480
 explaining how He is going

00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:24.240
 to send this Savior,

00:08:24.400 --> 00:08:26.060
 how He is going to provide

00:08:26.060 --> 00:08:27.680
 this redemption,

00:08:27.980 --> 00:08:30.600
 how He is going to make things right,

00:08:30.780 --> 00:08:32.340
 and He's going to set the course

00:08:32.340 --> 00:08:33.899
 of the world

00:08:33.899 --> 00:08:35.759
 back to its intended purpose.

00:08:36.360 --> 00:08:37.940
 And this coming Savior

00:08:37.940 --> 00:08:40.340
 that the Bible continues to speak of,

00:08:40.659 --> 00:08:41.940
 that's what we mean,

00:08:42.300 --> 00:08:43.600
 that's who we're referring to

00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:44.800
 when we use words like

00:08:44.799 --> 00:08:46.719
 Messiah and Lord

00:08:46.719 --> 00:08:48.019
 and Christ.

00:08:49.120 --> 00:08:50.120
 And those covenants

00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:52.819
 were provided through God's people,

00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:54.539
 His chosen nation, Israel,

00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:56.099
 which is why the Jews

00:08:56.099 --> 00:08:57.639
 are so significantly concerned

00:08:57.639 --> 00:08:59.079
 about this particular topic.

00:08:59.959 --> 00:09:01.779
 And so Jesus' question

00:09:01.779 --> 00:09:02.779
 in verse 35

00:09:02.779 --> 00:09:04.799
 is a direct challenge

00:09:05.319 --> 00:09:08.079
 to their interpretation

00:09:08.080 --> 00:09:09.639
 of the identity

00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:09.639


00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:10.580
 and purpose

00:09:10.580 --> 00:09:11.820
 of this Savior.

00:09:12.440 --> 00:09:13.300
 That's what's happening.

00:09:13.400 --> 00:09:14.240
 That's the backdrop

00:09:14.240 --> 00:09:15.020
 to all of this.

00:09:15.340 --> 00:09:17.180
 They have this mindset

00:09:17.180 --> 00:09:18.780
 of who this Savior will be,

00:09:19.120 --> 00:09:20.259
 what He will be like,

00:09:20.379 --> 00:09:21.440
 and what He will do.

00:09:21.680 --> 00:09:22.800
 And what Jesus is doing

00:09:22.800 --> 00:09:23.600
 with this question

00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:24.980
 is He's challenging

00:09:24.980 --> 00:09:26.480
 that interpretation

00:09:26.480 --> 00:09:27.620
 that they have,

00:09:27.620 --> 00:09:29.860
 specifically as it relates

00:09:29.860 --> 00:09:30.539
 to a title,

00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:32.200
 Son of David.

00:09:33.220 --> 00:09:33.919
 The Son of David

00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:35.340
 is a common title

00:09:35.340 --> 00:09:36.279
 used by the Jews

00:09:36.279 --> 00:09:37.440
 to refer to this

00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:38.399
 Messianic figure.

00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:40.220
 And it's actually rooted

00:09:40.220 --> 00:09:41.580
 in one of those covenants.

00:09:42.019 --> 00:09:43.240
 2 Samuel chapter 7.

00:09:43.259 --> 00:09:44.279
 I think I may actually have this

00:09:44.279 --> 00:09:45.179
 on the screen for you to see.

00:09:45.580 --> 00:09:46.840
 2 Samuel chapter 7.

00:09:47.200 --> 00:09:48.340
 God says this to David.

00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:50.039
 When your days are fulfilled

00:09:50.039 --> 00:09:51.039
 and you lie down

00:09:51.039 --> 00:09:51.779
 with your fathers,

00:09:52.279 --> 00:09:53.480
 I will raise up

00:09:53.480 --> 00:09:55.560
 your offspring after you.

00:09:55.639 --> 00:09:56.680
 Offspring there is singular.

00:09:56.679 --> 00:09:57.879
 I will raise up

00:09:57.879 --> 00:09:58.879
 your offspring after you

00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:00.679
 who shall come from your body

00:10:00.679 --> 00:10:02.120
 and I will establish

00:10:02.120 --> 00:10:02.799
 His kingdom.

00:10:03.299 --> 00:10:04.919
 He shall build a house

00:10:04.919 --> 00:10:06.099
 for my name

00:10:06.099 --> 00:10:07.679
 and I will establish

00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:08.859
 the throne of His kingdom

00:10:08.859 --> 00:10:09.939
 forever.

00:10:10.659 --> 00:10:11.939
 A covenant made with David.

00:10:12.500 --> 00:10:13.819
 I am bringing one

00:10:13.819 --> 00:10:15.139
 from your lineage.

00:10:15.699 --> 00:10:16.519
 This Messiah,

00:10:17.039 --> 00:10:17.579
 this Savior,

00:10:17.659 --> 00:10:18.239
 He's going to build

00:10:18.239 --> 00:10:19.699
 a house for me forever.

00:10:20.219 --> 00:10:21.319
 When we get to the New Testament

00:10:21.319 --> 00:10:22.000
 we find out

00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:22.579
 that's a house

00:10:22.579 --> 00:10:23.659
 not made with hands.

00:10:24.059 --> 00:10:24.899
 That's a people

00:10:24.899 --> 00:10:26.519
 that God is redeeming

00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:27.519
 for His glory

00:10:27.519 --> 00:10:28.340
 and for His purpose

00:10:28.340 --> 00:10:29.779
 as the church of Christ.

00:10:29.939 --> 00:10:30.740
 Now that may not seem

00:10:30.740 --> 00:10:32.819
 like very significant to us,

00:10:33.019 --> 00:10:34.179
 a promise made to David

00:10:34.179 --> 00:10:34.899
 so many thousands

00:10:34.899 --> 00:10:35.559
 of years ago.

00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:37.799
 But this fact

00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:39.220
 of a Davidic Messiah

00:10:39.220 --> 00:10:40.720
 is echoed

00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:42.340
 over and over

00:10:42.340 --> 00:10:43.240
 and over

00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:44.240
 in the Old Testament.

00:10:44.799 --> 00:10:46.199
 Especially in the Psalms

00:10:46.199 --> 00:10:47.100
 and in the prophets.

00:10:47.460 --> 00:10:48.059
 And I want to show you

00:10:48.059 --> 00:10:49.439
 a few passages about this.

00:10:49.980 --> 00:10:51.799
 Psalm 89 verses 3 and 4.

00:10:51.799 --> 00:10:53.819
 You have said,

00:10:54.139 --> 00:10:55.120
 I have made a covenant

00:10:55.120 --> 00:10:56.459
 with my chosen one.

00:10:56.899 --> 00:10:58.759
 I have sworn to David

00:10:58.759 --> 00:10:59.500
 my servant.

00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:00.939
 I will establish

00:11:00.939 --> 00:11:02.099
 your offspring forever

00:11:02.099 --> 00:11:03.799
 and build your throne

00:11:03.799 --> 00:11:05.240
 for all generations.

00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:07.000
 David echoes the covenant.

00:11:08.059 --> 00:11:09.339
 Isaiah chapter 9.

00:11:10.299 --> 00:11:11.479
 We usually quote this

00:11:11.479 --> 00:11:11.959
 at Christmas

00:11:11.959 --> 00:11:13.799
 but think about these words.

00:11:14.799 --> 00:11:15.500
 For unto us

00:11:15.500 --> 00:11:16.500
 a child is born.

00:11:17.339 --> 00:11:18.779
 To us a son is given.

00:11:18.779 --> 00:11:20.959
 The government shall be

00:11:20.959 --> 00:11:21.839
 upon His shoulder.

00:11:22.579 --> 00:11:23.899
 His name shall be called

00:11:23.899 --> 00:11:25.579
 Wonderful Counselor,

00:11:26.100 --> 00:11:26.819
 Mighty God,

00:11:27.539 --> 00:11:28.740
 Everlasting Father,

00:11:29.360 --> 00:11:30.299
 Prince of Peace.

00:11:31.100 --> 00:11:31.779
 Of the increase

00:11:32.319 --> 00:11:33.159
 of His government

00:11:33.159 --> 00:11:34.159
 and of peace

00:11:34.159 --> 00:11:35.120
 there will be no end.

00:11:35.620 --> 00:11:37.459
 On the throne of David

00:11:37.459 --> 00:11:39.559
 and over His kingdom

00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:41.299
 to establish it

00:11:41.299 --> 00:11:42.419
 and to uphold it

00:11:42.419 --> 00:11:43.159
 with justice

00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:44.299
 and with righteousness

00:11:44.299 --> 00:11:45.559
 from this time forth

00:11:45.559 --> 00:11:46.699
 and forevermore.

00:11:47.179 --> 00:11:48.480
 The zeal of the Lord of hosts.

00:11:48.779 --> 00:11:49.839
 will do this thing.

00:11:51.399 --> 00:11:53.459
 Jeremiah chapter 23.

00:11:54.819 --> 00:11:55.240
 Behold,

00:11:55.519 --> 00:11:56.439
 the days are coming

00:11:56.439 --> 00:11:57.419
 declares the Lord

00:11:57.419 --> 00:11:59.139
 when I will raise up

00:11:59.139 --> 00:12:00.199
 for David

00:12:00.199 --> 00:12:01.959
 a righteous branch.

00:12:02.059 --> 00:12:02.779
 Notice branch

00:12:02.779 --> 00:12:03.659
 is capitalized

00:12:03.659 --> 00:12:04.299
 in our Bibles

00:12:04.299 --> 00:12:05.699
 because that's a reference

00:12:05.699 --> 00:12:07.339
 to this messianic figure.

00:12:07.740 --> 00:12:08.539
 I will raise up

00:12:08.539 --> 00:12:09.079
 for David

00:12:09.079 --> 00:12:10.159
 a righteous branch.

00:12:10.519 --> 00:12:11.339
 He shall reign

00:12:11.339 --> 00:12:12.100
 as king

00:12:12.100 --> 00:12:13.500
 and deal wisely

00:12:13.500 --> 00:12:14.459
 and shall execute

00:12:14.459 --> 00:12:15.279
 justice

00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:16.379
 and righteousness

00:12:16.379 --> 00:12:17.220
 in the land.

00:12:17.220 --> 00:12:18.660
 in His days

00:12:18.660 --> 00:12:19.139
 Judah

00:12:19.139 --> 00:12:20.340
 will be saved.

00:12:20.700 --> 00:12:21.100
 Israel

00:12:21.100 --> 00:12:22.000
 will dwell

00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:22.879
 securely

00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:24.460
 and this is the name

00:12:24.460 --> 00:12:25.779
 by which He will be called.

00:12:26.139 --> 00:12:26.660
 The Lord

00:12:26.660 --> 00:12:27.560
 is our

00:12:27.560 --> 00:12:28.560
 righteousness.

00:12:29.720 --> 00:12:30.940
 Have you ever wondered

00:12:30.940 --> 00:12:32.440
 why the Old Testament

00:12:32.440 --> 00:12:33.700
 is so concerned

00:12:33.700 --> 00:12:34.600
 with all of those

00:12:34.600 --> 00:12:35.600
 genealogies?

00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:37.279
 You ever get on your

00:12:37.279 --> 00:12:38.460
 one year Bible reading

00:12:38.460 --> 00:12:39.100
 program

00:12:39.100 --> 00:12:40.540
 and you get

00:12:40.540 --> 00:12:41.440
 just a little ways

00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:41.980
 into it

00:12:41.980 --> 00:12:42.680
 probably around

00:12:42.680 --> 00:12:43.399
 this time of year

00:12:43.399 --> 00:12:43.860
 and you start

00:12:43.860 --> 00:12:45.180
 hitting those genealogies

00:12:45.180 --> 00:12:46.159
 and you're like

00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:47.500
 why in the world

00:12:47.500 --> 00:12:48.340
 does God want me

00:12:48.340 --> 00:12:49.019
 to read this?

00:12:49.580 --> 00:12:50.580
 Why in the world?

00:12:51.259 --> 00:12:52.159
 That's not about

00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:54.659
 simple historical records.

00:12:54.820 --> 00:12:55.279
 That's not why

00:12:55.279 --> 00:12:55.840
 that's there.

00:12:56.519 --> 00:12:56.779
 Do you know

00:12:56.779 --> 00:12:57.300
 what they're for?

00:12:58.159 --> 00:12:59.120
 They're tracking

00:12:59.120 --> 00:13:00.300
 the promise of God.

00:13:01.000 --> 00:13:01.920
 They're tracking

00:13:01.920 --> 00:13:02.600
 the covenants

00:13:02.600 --> 00:13:03.100
 of God.

00:13:03.860 --> 00:13:05.180
 As they recorded

00:13:05.180 --> 00:13:06.620
 the lineage of David

00:13:06.620 --> 00:13:07.879
 they're showing

00:13:07.879 --> 00:13:08.980
 that God's promise

00:13:08.980 --> 00:13:09.860
 is reliable

00:13:09.860 --> 00:13:11.040
 and they're showing

00:13:11.040 --> 00:13:11.960
 that God's promise

00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:12.980
 is active

00:13:12.980 --> 00:13:14.800
 and it all comes back

00:13:14.800 --> 00:13:16.180
 to this covenant

00:13:16.180 --> 00:13:18.600
 this Davidic Messiah

00:13:18.600 --> 00:13:19.560
 that God is going

00:13:19.560 --> 00:13:20.220
 to send

00:13:20.220 --> 00:13:21.440
 to redeem

00:13:21.440 --> 00:13:22.300
 His people.

00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:22.800
 We could go to

00:13:22.800 --> 00:13:23.720
 many more passages

00:13:23.720 --> 00:13:24.940
 but my point

00:13:24.940 --> 00:13:25.779
 is to show you

00:13:25.779 --> 00:13:27.019
 that there's a really

00:13:27.019 --> 00:13:27.960
 good reason

00:13:27.960 --> 00:13:28.680
 why

00:13:28.680 --> 00:13:30.320
 Son of David

00:13:30.320 --> 00:13:31.899
 became a prevalent

00:13:31.899 --> 00:13:33.899
 messianic title

00:13:33.899 --> 00:13:34.860
 in the time

00:13:34.860 --> 00:13:35.459
 of Jesus.

00:13:36.319 --> 00:13:37.699
 Remember in chapter 10

00:13:37.699 --> 00:13:38.799
 blind Bartimaeus

00:13:38.799 --> 00:13:39.860
 what is it

00:13:39.860 --> 00:13:40.699
 that he yells for

00:13:40.699 --> 00:13:41.840
 as Jesus walks by?

00:13:42.600 --> 00:13:42.939
 Jesus

00:13:42.939 --> 00:13:44.419
 Son of

00:13:44.419 --> 00:13:45.340
 David

00:13:45.340 --> 00:13:47.059
 Messiah

00:13:47.059 --> 00:13:48.419
 Lord

00:13:48.419 --> 00:13:51.220
 So what's Jesus

00:13:51.220 --> 00:13:51.740
 getting at

00:13:51.740 --> 00:13:52.659
 with this question then?

00:13:53.720 --> 00:13:54.340
 Notice back

00:13:54.340 --> 00:13:55.039
 in verse 35

00:13:55.039 --> 00:13:55.459
 what is it

00:13:55.459 --> 00:13:56.000
 that he asks?

00:13:57.279 --> 00:13:58.340
 How is it

00:13:58.340 --> 00:14:00.460
 that the scribes

00:14:00.460 --> 00:14:01.800
 can say

00:14:01.800 --> 00:14:02.840
 that the Christ

00:14:02.840 --> 00:14:03.860
 is the

00:14:03.860 --> 00:14:04.620
 Son of David?

00:14:06.220 --> 00:14:07.120
 Well we just went

00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:07.560
 to a bunch

00:14:07.560 --> 00:14:08.160
 of passages

00:14:08.160 --> 00:14:09.460
 that show

00:14:09.460 --> 00:14:09.940
 exactly

00:14:09.940 --> 00:14:10.460
 why they

00:14:10.460 --> 00:14:11.139
 could say

00:14:11.139 --> 00:14:12.620
 that the Messiah

00:14:12.620 --> 00:14:13.800
 is the

00:14:13.800 --> 00:14:14.300
 Son of David

00:14:14.300 --> 00:14:14.980
 so what's Jesus

00:14:14.980 --> 00:14:15.840
 getting at here?

00:14:16.759 --> 00:14:17.840
 Is he denying

00:14:17.840 --> 00:14:18.860
 that the Messiah

00:14:18.860 --> 00:14:19.879
 is David's son

00:14:19.879 --> 00:14:20.519
 that he will come

00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:21.519
 from David's line?

00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:22.780
 No.

00:14:23.980 --> 00:14:24.700
 Matthew's account

00:14:24.700 --> 00:14:25.420
 I think helps us

00:14:25.420 --> 00:14:26.080
 understand what's

00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:26.580
 happening here

00:14:26.580 --> 00:14:27.480
 just a little bit better.

00:14:28.259 --> 00:14:29.420
 Matthew chapter 22

00:14:29.419 --> 00:14:30.819
 he writes

00:14:30.819 --> 00:14:32.000
 now while the Pharisees

00:14:32.000 --> 00:14:33.079
 were gathered together

00:14:33.079 --> 00:14:35.019
 Jesus asked them

00:14:35.019 --> 00:14:35.639
 a question

00:14:35.639 --> 00:14:36.240
 saying

00:14:36.240 --> 00:14:37.879
 what do you think

00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:38.679
 about the Christ?

00:14:39.079 --> 00:14:40.439
 Whose son is he?

00:14:40.799 --> 00:14:41.339
 And here's how

00:14:41.339 --> 00:14:41.839
 they answer

00:14:41.839 --> 00:14:43.620
 they said to him

00:14:43.620 --> 00:14:45.120
 the Son of David

00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:46.659
 now remember

00:14:46.659 --> 00:14:48.439
 the common belief

00:14:48.439 --> 00:14:49.240
 among the Jews

00:14:49.240 --> 00:14:50.899
 was that the Christ

00:14:50.899 --> 00:14:51.500
 the Messiah

00:14:51.500 --> 00:14:52.519
 would be a political

00:14:52.519 --> 00:14:53.959
 and military figure

00:14:53.959 --> 00:14:55.419
 whose purpose

00:14:55.419 --> 00:14:56.299
 was to deliver

00:14:56.299 --> 00:14:57.299
 Israel from Rome

00:14:57.299 --> 00:14:58.379
 that was their mind

00:14:58.379 --> 00:14:59.220
 that's what they thought

00:14:59.220 --> 00:15:00.439
 he was going to do

00:15:00.439 --> 00:15:02.519
 they thought of him

00:15:02.519 --> 00:15:03.939
 only as a human

00:15:03.939 --> 00:15:04.679
 authority

00:15:04.679 --> 00:15:06.340
 with an earthly

00:15:06.340 --> 00:15:07.299
 purpose

00:15:07.299 --> 00:15:09.480
 when they said

00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:10.179
 the Christ

00:15:10.179 --> 00:15:11.039
 is David's

00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:11.580
 son

00:15:11.580 --> 00:15:12.600
 they meant

00:15:12.600 --> 00:15:13.559
 he was nothing

00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:14.120
 more

00:15:14.120 --> 00:15:15.580
 than David's

00:15:15.580 --> 00:15:16.419
 son

00:15:16.419 --> 00:15:18.860
 and this is the idea

00:15:18.860 --> 00:15:20.059
 that Jesus is challenging

00:15:20.059 --> 00:15:20.879
 in verse 35

00:15:20.879 --> 00:15:22.320
 he's not challenging

00:15:22.320 --> 00:15:22.860
 the title

00:15:22.860 --> 00:15:23.620
 he's not challenging

00:15:23.620 --> 00:15:24.139
 the fact

00:15:24.139 --> 00:15:25.600
 that he was indeed

00:15:25.600 --> 00:15:26.919
 from the line of David

00:15:26.919 --> 00:15:28.059
 he's challenging

00:15:28.059 --> 00:15:28.779
 the mindset

00:15:28.779 --> 00:15:29.379
 of the people

00:15:29.379 --> 00:15:29.879
 that says

00:15:29.879 --> 00:15:30.979
 that the Christ

00:15:30.979 --> 00:15:31.779
 is nothing more

00:15:31.779 --> 00:15:32.699
 than the son of David

00:15:32.699 --> 00:15:33.379
 he's nothing more

00:15:33.379 --> 00:15:34.740
 than an earthly king

00:15:34.740 --> 00:15:35.879
 that will come

00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:36.819
 and will rule

00:15:36.819 --> 00:15:37.639
 on this

00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:38.699
 earth

00:15:38.699 --> 00:15:41.360
 he didn't deny

00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:41.819
 that

00:15:41.819 --> 00:15:44.199
 he was the son of David

00:15:44.199 --> 00:15:45.079
 he insisted

00:15:45.079 --> 00:15:47.240
 that he was more

00:15:47.240 --> 00:15:48.279
 than that

00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:49.919
 he insisted

00:15:49.919 --> 00:15:51.000
 that he was more

00:15:51.000 --> 00:15:52.519
 than just a political

00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:53.759
 savior

00:15:53.759 --> 00:15:55.179
 and James Edwards

00:15:55.179 --> 00:15:56.100
 frames it this way

00:15:56.100 --> 00:15:56.439
 and I think

00:15:56.439 --> 00:15:57.139
 this is helpful

00:15:57.139 --> 00:15:58.720
 Jesus invites

00:15:58.720 --> 00:15:59.919
 the temple audience

00:15:59.919 --> 00:16:01.840
 to reconsider

00:16:01.840 --> 00:16:04.000
 whether son of David

00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:06.840
 is conceptually

00:16:06.840 --> 00:16:07.919
 adequate

00:16:07.919 --> 00:16:09.399
 to explain

00:16:09.399 --> 00:16:09.980
 the Messiah

00:16:09.980 --> 00:16:12.639
 is the son of David

00:16:12.639 --> 00:16:14.779
 conceptually adequate

00:16:14.779 --> 00:16:15.580
 let me explain

00:16:15.580 --> 00:16:17.399
 the modern equivalent

00:16:17.399 --> 00:16:18.039
 to this

00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:19.679
 modern equivalent

00:16:19.679 --> 00:16:21.159
 is when people

00:16:21.159 --> 00:16:21.500
 say

00:16:21.500 --> 00:16:22.239
 Jesus

00:16:22.239 --> 00:16:23.699
 is

00:16:23.699 --> 00:16:25.579
 nothing more

00:16:25.579 --> 00:16:27.279
 than a great

00:16:27.279 --> 00:16:27.899
 teacher

00:16:27.899 --> 00:16:30.599
 he is a moral

00:16:30.599 --> 00:16:31.659
 example

00:16:31.659 --> 00:16:32.399
 to us

00:16:32.399 --> 00:16:34.199
 he is an amazing

00:16:34.199 --> 00:16:35.159
 miracle

00:16:35.159 --> 00:16:36.539
 worker

00:16:36.539 --> 00:16:38.479
 and when we

00:16:38.479 --> 00:16:39.139
 challenge

00:16:39.139 --> 00:16:39.959
 that thought

00:16:39.959 --> 00:16:40.639
 in our culture

00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:41.959
 we're not denying

00:16:41.959 --> 00:16:42.620
 that Jesus

00:16:42.620 --> 00:16:43.419
 is indeed

00:16:43.419 --> 00:16:44.139
 those things

00:16:44.139 --> 00:16:45.500
 what we're saying

00:16:45.500 --> 00:16:46.139
 is Jesus

00:16:46.139 --> 00:16:47.120
 is more

00:16:47.120 --> 00:16:48.000
 than just

00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:48.700
 those things

00:16:48.700 --> 00:16:49.899
 he is more

00:16:49.899 --> 00:16:50.759
 than just

00:16:50.759 --> 00:16:51.539
 a good teacher

00:16:51.539 --> 00:16:52.620
 he is more

00:16:52.620 --> 00:16:53.120
 than just

00:16:53.120 --> 00:16:53.720
 a moral

00:16:53.720 --> 00:16:54.379
 example

00:16:54.379 --> 00:16:55.320
 he is more

00:16:55.320 --> 00:16:56.240
 than just

00:16:56.240 --> 00:16:56.919
 a miracle

00:16:56.919 --> 00:16:57.759
 worker

00:16:57.759 --> 00:16:58.860
 he's more

00:16:58.860 --> 00:16:59.360
 than just

00:16:59.360 --> 00:16:59.940
 a religious

00:16:59.940 --> 00:17:01.320
 leader

00:17:01.320 --> 00:17:02.519
 he's the

00:17:02.519 --> 00:17:03.360
 son of God

00:17:03.360 --> 00:17:04.660
 he's the

00:17:04.660 --> 00:17:05.359
 savior of the

00:17:05.359 --> 00:17:05.740
 world

00:17:05.740 --> 00:17:06.900
 he's the

00:17:06.900 --> 00:17:07.339
 lord

00:17:07.339 --> 00:17:08.240
 of all that

00:17:08.240 --> 00:17:08.539
 is

00:17:08.539 --> 00:17:09.200
 and to

00:17:09.200 --> 00:17:10.180
 estimate him

00:17:10.180 --> 00:17:10.720
 as anything

00:17:10.720 --> 00:17:11.579
 less than

00:17:11.579 --> 00:17:11.859
 that

00:17:11.859 --> 00:17:12.880
 is wrong

00:17:12.880 --> 00:17:13.839
 and it

00:17:13.839 --> 00:17:14.579
 misses the

00:17:14.579 --> 00:17:15.059
 point

00:17:15.059 --> 00:17:16.119
 altogether

00:17:16.119 --> 00:17:17.619
 and that's

00:17:17.619 --> 00:17:18.019
 essentially

00:17:18.019 --> 00:17:18.839
 what is

00:17:18.839 --> 00:17:19.299
 happening

00:17:19.299 --> 00:17:19.759
 with the

00:17:19.759 --> 00:17:20.019
 Jews

00:17:20.019 --> 00:17:20.559
 in general

00:17:20.559 --> 00:17:21.119
 and especially

00:17:21.119 --> 00:17:21.819
 the scribes

00:17:21.819 --> 00:17:22.599
 what Jesus

00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:23.379
 is challenging

00:17:23.379 --> 00:17:24.259
 is the fact

00:17:24.259 --> 00:17:25.500
 that the scribes

00:17:25.500 --> 00:17:26.139
 refer to the

00:17:26.139 --> 00:17:26.539
 Messiah

00:17:26.539 --> 00:17:27.059
 as the

00:17:27.059 --> 00:17:27.419
 son of

00:17:27.419 --> 00:17:27.699
 David

00:17:27.699 --> 00:17:28.339
 and it's

00:17:28.339 --> 00:17:28.739
 not that

00:17:28.739 --> 00:17:29.119
 it isn't

00:17:29.119 --> 00:17:29.479
 true

00:17:29.479 --> 00:17:30.379
 it's just

00:17:30.379 --> 00:17:30.839
 that it's

00:17:30.839 --> 00:17:31.139
 not

00:17:31.139 --> 00:17:32.399
 conceptually

00:17:32.399 --> 00:17:33.159
 adequate

00:17:33.159 --> 00:17:34.839
 to communicate

00:17:34.839 --> 00:17:35.639
 all that

00:17:35.639 --> 00:17:36.239
 the Messiah

00:17:36.239 --> 00:17:36.899
 is

00:17:36.899 --> 00:17:38.159
 and does

00:17:38.159 --> 00:17:39.699
 so Jesus

00:17:39.699 --> 00:17:40.219
 challenges

00:17:40.219 --> 00:17:40.519
 their

00:17:40.519 --> 00:17:41.339
 interpretation

00:17:41.339 --> 00:17:42.740
 and keep

00:17:42.740 --> 00:17:43.240
 in mind

00:17:43.240 --> 00:17:44.859
 he's stirring

00:17:44.859 --> 00:17:45.359
 up these

00:17:45.359 --> 00:17:46.199
 conversations

00:17:46.199 --> 00:17:46.939
 about the

00:17:46.939 --> 00:17:47.459
 Christ

00:17:47.459 --> 00:17:48.839
 within two

00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:49.419
 days

00:17:49.419 --> 00:17:50.119
 of his

00:17:50.119 --> 00:17:50.339
 own

00:17:50.339 --> 00:17:51.259
 crucifixion

00:17:51.259 --> 00:17:52.959
 and what

00:17:52.959 --> 00:17:53.199
 would be

00:17:53.199 --> 00:17:53.699
 the purpose

00:17:53.699 --> 00:17:54.159
 in that

00:17:54.159 --> 00:17:56.379
 he's not

00:17:56.379 --> 00:17:56.720
 only

00:17:56.720 --> 00:17:57.779
 identifying

00:17:57.779 --> 00:17:59.079
 reframing

00:17:59.079 --> 00:17:59.559
 their minds

00:17:59.559 --> 00:17:59.959
 about what

00:17:59.959 --> 00:18:00.379
 the Christ

00:18:00.379 --> 00:18:00.679
 is

00:18:00.679 --> 00:18:01.279
 he's going

00:18:01.279 --> 00:18:01.919
 to demonstrate

00:18:01.919 --> 00:18:02.439
 what the

00:18:02.439 --> 00:18:02.899
 Christ was

00:18:02.899 --> 00:18:03.259
 meant to

00:18:03.259 --> 00:18:03.619
 do

00:18:03.619 --> 00:18:04.579
 within 48

00:18:04.579 --> 00:18:05.139
 hours of

00:18:05.139 --> 00:18:05.639
 this moment

00:18:05.639 --> 00:18:06.299
 he's going

00:18:06.299 --> 00:18:06.679
 to show

00:18:06.679 --> 00:18:06.980
 them

00:18:06.980 --> 00:18:09.099
 matter of

00:18:09.099 --> 00:18:09.699
 interpretation

00:18:09.699 --> 00:18:10.459
 number two

00:18:10.460 --> 00:18:11.259
 it's a matter

00:18:11.259 --> 00:18:12.140
 of inspiration

00:18:12.140 --> 00:18:13.579
 a matter

00:18:13.579 --> 00:18:13.980
 of

00:18:13.980 --> 00:18:15.200
 inspiration

00:18:15.200 --> 00:18:16.340
 look with me

00:18:16.340 --> 00:18:17.160
 at verse 36

00:18:17.160 --> 00:18:17.539
 now

00:18:17.539 --> 00:18:19.700
 David himself

00:18:19.700 --> 00:18:20.420
 in the Holy

00:18:20.420 --> 00:18:20.799
 Spirit

00:18:20.799 --> 00:18:22.279
 declared

00:18:22.279 --> 00:18:23.720
 the Lord

00:18:23.720 --> 00:18:24.539
 said to my

00:18:24.539 --> 00:18:24.900
 Lord

00:18:24.900 --> 00:18:26.319
 sit at my

00:18:26.319 --> 00:18:27.019
 right hand

00:18:27.019 --> 00:18:28.259
 until I put

00:18:28.259 --> 00:18:28.880
 your enemies

00:18:28.880 --> 00:18:29.840
 under your

00:18:29.840 --> 00:18:30.220
 feet

00:18:30.220 --> 00:18:32.539
 so to make

00:18:32.539 --> 00:18:33.019
 his point

00:18:33.019 --> 00:18:33.420
 Jesus

00:18:33.420 --> 00:18:34.660
 quoted the

00:18:34.660 --> 00:18:35.319
 first verse

00:18:35.319 --> 00:18:36.360
 of Psalm

00:18:36.360 --> 00:18:37.160
 110

00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:39.420
 which is

00:18:39.420 --> 00:18:40.100
 quoted more

00:18:40.099 --> 00:18:40.559
 than any

00:18:40.559 --> 00:18:40.899
 other

00:18:40.899 --> 00:18:41.419
 Psalm

00:18:41.419 --> 00:18:41.879
 any

00:18:41.879 --> 00:18:42.179
 other

00:18:42.179 --> 00:18:42.379
 Old

00:18:42.379 --> 00:18:42.679
 Testament

00:18:42.679 --> 00:18:43.159
 passage

00:18:43.159 --> 00:18:43.539
 for that

00:18:43.539 --> 00:18:43.899
 matter

00:18:43.899 --> 00:18:44.679
 in all

00:18:44.679 --> 00:18:44.899
 of the

00:18:44.899 --> 00:18:45.039
 New

00:18:45.039 --> 00:18:45.480
 Testament

00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:47.000
 now why

00:18:47.000 --> 00:18:47.279
 would you

00:18:47.279 --> 00:18:47.619
 think that

00:18:47.619 --> 00:18:48.019
 so

00:18:48.019 --> 00:18:49.819
 Jesus'

00:18:50.059 --> 00:18:50.419
 argument

00:18:50.419 --> 00:18:50.799
 with the

00:18:50.799 --> 00:18:51.219
 scribes

00:18:51.219 --> 00:18:51.439
 here

00:18:51.439 --> 00:18:53.000
 is so

00:18:53.000 --> 00:18:53.719
 strong

00:18:53.719 --> 00:18:54.779
 that the

00:18:54.779 --> 00:18:55.299
 apostles

00:18:55.299 --> 00:18:55.899
 followed

00:18:55.899 --> 00:18:56.379
 the Lord

00:18:56.379 --> 00:18:57.099
 and they

00:18:57.099 --> 00:18:57.659
 quote

00:18:57.659 --> 00:18:58.480
 this Psalm

00:18:58.480 --> 00:18:58.980
 or allude

00:18:58.980 --> 00:18:59.359
 to this

00:18:59.359 --> 00:18:59.599
 Psalm

00:18:59.599 --> 00:19:00.579
 33

00:19:00.579 --> 00:19:01.879
 times

00:19:01.879 --> 00:19:02.579
 in the

00:19:02.579 --> 00:19:02.740
 New

00:19:02.740 --> 00:19:03.099
 Testament

00:19:03.099 --> 00:19:03.480
 more than

00:19:03.480 --> 00:19:03.679
 any

00:19:03.679 --> 00:19:03.899
 other

00:19:03.899 --> 00:19:04.099
 Old

00:19:04.099 --> 00:19:04.399
 Testament

00:19:04.399 --> 00:19:05.019
 passage

00:19:05.019 --> 00:19:05.879
 you'll

00:19:05.879 --> 00:19:06.159
 find it

00:19:06.159 --> 00:19:06.480
 not only

00:19:06.480 --> 00:19:06.679
 in the

00:19:06.679 --> 00:19:07.099
 Gospels

00:19:07.099 --> 00:19:07.319
 you'll

00:19:07.319 --> 00:19:07.619
 find it

00:19:07.619 --> 00:19:08.159
 in Acts

00:19:08.160 --> 00:19:08.600
 you'll

00:19:08.600 --> 00:19:08.920
 find it

00:19:08.920 --> 00:19:09.420
 in Paul's

00:19:09.420 --> 00:19:09.660
 letters

00:19:09.660 --> 00:19:10.120
 you'll

00:19:10.120 --> 00:19:10.380
 find it

00:19:10.380 --> 00:19:10.920
 in Peter's

00:19:10.920 --> 00:19:11.180
 letters

00:19:11.180 --> 00:19:11.680
 you'll

00:19:11.680 --> 00:19:12.120
 find it

00:19:12.120 --> 00:19:12.960
 in the

00:19:12.960 --> 00:19:13.279
 book of

00:19:13.279 --> 00:19:13.560
 Hebrews

00:19:13.560 --> 00:19:14.019
 as well

00:19:14.019 --> 00:19:14.759
 so let's

00:19:14.759 --> 00:19:15.180
 look at it

00:19:15.180 --> 00:19:15.420
 and see

00:19:15.420 --> 00:19:15.759
 why it's

00:19:15.759 --> 00:19:16.400
 so significant

00:19:16.400 --> 00:19:18.220
 there's two

00:19:18.220 --> 00:19:18.740
 things about

00:19:18.740 --> 00:19:19.340
 this Psalm

00:19:19.340 --> 00:19:20.279
 that Jesus

00:19:20.279 --> 00:19:20.660
 and the

00:19:20.660 --> 00:19:20.940
 scribes

00:19:20.940 --> 00:19:21.279
 agreed

00:19:21.279 --> 00:19:21.620
 about

00:19:21.620 --> 00:19:22.900
 first thing

00:19:22.900 --> 00:19:23.380
 is this

00:19:23.380 --> 00:19:24.660
 they agreed

00:19:24.660 --> 00:19:25.820
 that the

00:19:25.820 --> 00:19:26.220
 Psalm

00:19:26.220 --> 00:19:27.120
 was referring

00:19:27.120 --> 00:19:27.560
 to the

00:19:27.560 --> 00:19:27.860
 coming

00:19:27.860 --> 00:19:28.519
 Messiah

00:19:28.519 --> 00:19:29.560
 they agreed

00:19:29.560 --> 00:19:30.120
 about that

00:19:30.120 --> 00:19:31.200
 in fact

00:19:31.200 --> 00:19:31.620
 why don't

00:19:31.620 --> 00:19:31.900
 you just

00:19:31.900 --> 00:19:32.340
 turn back

00:19:32.340 --> 00:19:32.640
 there with

00:19:32.640 --> 00:19:32.740
 me

00:19:32.740 --> 00:19:32.900
 let's

00:19:32.900 --> 00:19:33.140
 go to

00:19:33.140 --> 00:19:33.360
 Psalm

00:19:33.360 --> 00:19:33.640
 110

00:19:33.640 --> 00:19:34.000
 in your

00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:34.340
 Bible

00:19:34.340 --> 00:19:35.080
 and I'm

00:19:35.080 --> 00:19:35.259
 not going

00:19:35.259 --> 00:19:35.380
 to read

00:19:35.380 --> 00:19:35.640
 the whole

00:19:35.640 --> 00:19:35.900
 thing

00:19:35.900 --> 00:19:36.100
 I'm going

00:19:36.099 --> 00:19:36.299
 to leave

00:19:36.299 --> 00:19:36.599
 that to

00:19:36.599 --> 00:19:36.919
 you

00:19:36.919 --> 00:19:38.480
 in your

00:19:38.480 --> 00:19:39.059
 own time

00:19:39.059 --> 00:19:39.639
 but I want

00:19:39.639 --> 00:19:40.099
 you to see

00:19:40.099 --> 00:19:40.779
 exactly what

00:19:40.779 --> 00:19:41.279
 they're referring

00:19:41.279 --> 00:19:41.699
 to here

00:19:41.699 --> 00:19:42.019
 Psalm

00:19:42.019 --> 00:19:42.619
 110

00:19:42.619 --> 00:19:52.679
 this

00:19:52.679 --> 00:19:53.099
 this

00:19:53.099 --> 00:19:53.639
 Psalm

00:19:53.639 --> 00:19:54.980
 and maybe

00:19:54.980 --> 00:19:55.219
 you'll

00:19:55.219 --> 00:19:55.899
 maybe you'll

00:19:55.899 --> 00:19:56.559
 you'll skim

00:19:56.559 --> 00:19:56.959
 it as I'm

00:19:56.959 --> 00:19:57.439
 even talking

00:19:57.439 --> 00:19:57.779
 here for

00:19:57.779 --> 00:19:58.099
 just a

00:19:58.099 --> 00:19:58.299
 moment

00:19:58.299 --> 00:19:59.639
 this Psalm

00:19:59.639 --> 00:19:59.939
 is it

00:19:59.939 --> 00:20:00.339
 it's an

00:20:00.339 --> 00:20:00.819
 amazing

00:20:00.819 --> 00:20:01.359
 description

00:20:01.359 --> 00:20:02.059
 of

00:20:02.059 --> 00:20:02.959
 Christ

00:20:02.959 --> 00:20:03.639
 eternal

00:20:03.639 --> 00:20:04.240
 rule

00:20:04.240 --> 00:20:05.519
 as

00:20:05.519 --> 00:20:06.079
 prophet

00:20:06.079 --> 00:20:07.119
 priest

00:20:07.119 --> 00:20:08.019
 and king

00:20:08.019 --> 00:20:09.039
 and it's

00:20:09.039 --> 00:20:09.460
 this very

00:20:09.460 --> 00:20:10.019
 first verse

00:20:10.019 --> 00:20:10.460
 that Jesus

00:20:10.460 --> 00:20:10.819
 quotes

00:20:10.819 --> 00:20:11.199
 look at it

00:20:11.199 --> 00:20:11.439
 with me

00:20:11.439 --> 00:20:11.779
 a Psalm

00:20:11.779 --> 00:20:12.199
 of David

00:20:12.199 --> 00:20:12.919
 the Lord

00:20:12.919 --> 00:20:13.779
 says to

00:20:13.779 --> 00:20:14.460
 my Lord

00:20:14.460 --> 00:20:15.419
 sit at

00:20:15.419 --> 00:20:15.839
 my right

00:20:15.839 --> 00:20:16.299
 hand

00:20:16.299 --> 00:20:17.399
 until I

00:20:17.399 --> 00:20:17.879
 make your

00:20:17.879 --> 00:20:18.359
 enemies

00:20:18.359 --> 00:20:19.659
 your footstool

00:20:19.659 --> 00:20:20.500
 now stay

00:20:20.500 --> 00:20:20.799
 there in

00:20:20.799 --> 00:20:20.960
 Psalm

00:20:20.960 --> 00:20:21.179
 110

00:20:21.179 --> 00:20:21.419
 we're going

00:20:21.419 --> 00:20:21.759
 to reference

00:20:21.759 --> 00:20:22.220
 back to

00:20:22.220 --> 00:20:23.019
 that particular

00:20:23.019 --> 00:20:23.500
 verse and

00:20:23.500 --> 00:20:23.839
 the way it

00:20:23.839 --> 00:20:24.139
 looks in

00:20:24.139 --> 00:20:24.439
 your Bible

00:20:24.439 --> 00:20:24.699
 here in

00:20:24.699 --> 00:20:24.960
 just a

00:20:24.960 --> 00:20:25.159
 moment

00:20:25.159 --> 00:20:27.519
 it's an

00:20:27.519 --> 00:20:28.179
 amazing

00:20:28.179 --> 00:20:28.899
 description

00:20:28.899 --> 00:20:29.460
 of Christ

00:20:29.460 --> 00:20:29.839
 eternal

00:20:29.839 --> 00:20:30.220
 rule

00:20:30.220 --> 00:20:31.839
 and that's

00:20:31.839 --> 00:20:32.279
 something

00:20:32.279 --> 00:20:33.259
 that the

00:20:33.259 --> 00:20:33.659
 scribes

00:20:33.659 --> 00:20:34.059
 agreed

00:20:34.059 --> 00:20:34.439
 with

00:20:34.440 --> 00:20:36.440
 historically

00:20:36.440 --> 00:20:36.900
 this

00:20:36.900 --> 00:20:37.279
 Psalm

00:20:37.279 --> 00:20:37.600
 was

00:20:37.600 --> 00:20:38.259
 sung

00:20:38.259 --> 00:20:38.580
 as a

00:20:38.580 --> 00:20:39.259
 coronation

00:20:39.259 --> 00:20:39.740
 hymn

00:20:39.740 --> 00:20:40.980
 when Israel

00:20:40.980 --> 00:20:41.360
 would have

00:20:41.360 --> 00:20:41.680
 a new

00:20:41.680 --> 00:20:42.080
 king

00:20:42.080 --> 00:20:43.500
 and they

00:20:43.500 --> 00:20:44.140
 didn't sing

00:20:44.140 --> 00:20:44.620
 that at the

00:20:44.620 --> 00:20:45.180
 coronation

00:20:45.180 --> 00:20:45.700
 of Israel's

00:20:45.700 --> 00:20:45.940
 kings

00:20:45.940 --> 00:20:46.519
 because they

00:20:46.519 --> 00:20:47.380
 thought that

00:20:47.380 --> 00:20:48.480
 king was

00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:49.180
 the fulfillment

00:20:49.180 --> 00:20:49.620
 of this

00:20:49.620 --> 00:20:49.840
 Psalm

00:20:49.840 --> 00:20:50.519
 that's not

00:20:50.519 --> 00:20:50.860
 why they

00:20:50.860 --> 00:20:51.320
 sang it

00:20:51.320 --> 00:20:52.200
 they sang

00:20:52.200 --> 00:20:52.680
 it because

00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:53.360
 they believed

00:20:53.360 --> 00:20:53.980
 that the

00:20:53.980 --> 00:20:54.880
 role of

00:20:54.880 --> 00:20:55.480
 king in

00:20:55.480 --> 00:20:56.059
 Israel

00:20:56.059 --> 00:20:57.559
 was a

00:20:57.559 --> 00:20:58.420
 type of

00:20:58.420 --> 00:20:59.059
 the king

00:20:59.059 --> 00:20:59.940
 the great

00:20:59.940 --> 00:21:00.440
 king

00:21:00.440 --> 00:21:01.140
 who was

00:21:01.140 --> 00:21:01.580
 to come

00:21:01.580 --> 00:21:02.059
 from the

00:21:02.059 --> 00:21:02.259
 line

00:21:02.259 --> 00:21:02.720
 of David

00:21:02.720 --> 00:21:03.519
 whose

00:21:03.519 --> 00:21:04.360
 throne

00:21:04.360 --> 00:21:04.720
 would be

00:21:04.720 --> 00:21:05.160
 established

00:21:05.160 --> 00:21:05.680
 forever

00:21:05.680 --> 00:21:06.680
 based on

00:21:06.680 --> 00:21:07.100
 the covenant

00:21:07.100 --> 00:21:07.620
 of God

00:21:07.620 --> 00:21:09.880
 all rabbinical

00:21:09.880 --> 00:21:10.620
 teaching that

00:21:10.620 --> 00:21:11.340
 we can find

00:21:11.340 --> 00:21:12.000
 historically

00:21:12.000 --> 00:21:13.000
 about Psalm

00:21:13.000 --> 00:21:13.600
 110

00:21:13.600 --> 00:21:15.259
 up to the

00:21:15.259 --> 00:21:15.660
 time of

00:21:15.660 --> 00:21:16.059
 Jesus

00:21:16.059 --> 00:21:17.759
 affirms

00:21:17.759 --> 00:21:18.519
 that this

00:21:18.519 --> 00:21:18.860
 is a

00:21:18.860 --> 00:21:19.519
 messianic

00:21:19.519 --> 00:21:20.120
 psalm

00:21:20.120 --> 00:21:21.960
 it was only

00:21:21.960 --> 00:21:22.720
 after the

00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:23.100
 time of

00:21:23.100 --> 00:21:23.700
 the apostles

00:21:23.700 --> 00:21:25.080
 that the

00:21:25.080 --> 00:21:25.860
 leaders in

00:21:25.860 --> 00:21:26.380
 Judaism

00:21:26.380 --> 00:21:27.120
 conveniently

00:21:27.120 --> 00:21:27.840
 denounced

00:21:27.840 --> 00:21:28.680
 it as such

00:21:28.680 --> 00:21:29.340
 and decided

00:21:29.340 --> 00:21:30.480
 this is no

00:21:30.480 --> 00:21:30.960
 longer

00:21:30.960 --> 00:21:31.920
 about this

00:21:31.920 --> 00:21:32.200
 coming

00:21:32.200 --> 00:21:32.660
 Messiah

00:21:32.660 --> 00:21:33.160
 this has

00:21:33.160 --> 00:21:33.480
 something

00:21:33.480 --> 00:21:34.039
 specifically

00:21:34.039 --> 00:21:34.560
 to do

00:21:34.560 --> 00:21:35.240
 with David

00:21:35.240 --> 00:21:36.279
 but everything

00:21:36.279 --> 00:21:37.000
 going up

00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:37.279
 to the

00:21:37.279 --> 00:21:37.660
 time of

00:21:37.660 --> 00:21:37.960
 Jesus

00:21:37.960 --> 00:21:38.880
 and during

00:21:38.880 --> 00:21:39.279
 the time

00:21:39.279 --> 00:21:39.480
 of the

00:21:39.480 --> 00:21:39.900
 apostles

00:21:39.900 --> 00:21:40.740
 the Jews

00:21:40.740 --> 00:21:41.340
 recognized

00:21:41.340 --> 00:21:41.840
 this psalm

00:21:41.840 --> 00:21:42.519
 as messianic

00:21:42.519 --> 00:21:43.060
 so they're

00:21:43.060 --> 00:21:43.759
 agreeing about

00:21:43.759 --> 00:21:44.360
 those things

00:21:44.360 --> 00:21:44.640
 okay

00:21:44.640 --> 00:21:45.400
 that's important

00:21:45.400 --> 00:21:45.799
 for us to

00:21:45.799 --> 00:21:46.180
 understand

00:21:46.180 --> 00:21:46.640
 I'll explain

00:21:46.640 --> 00:21:46.960
 why in a

00:21:46.960 --> 00:21:47.180
 moment

00:21:47.180 --> 00:21:47.980
 number two

00:21:47.980 --> 00:21:49.220
 they agreed

00:21:49.220 --> 00:21:50.580
 on the

00:21:50.580 --> 00:21:51.160
 doctrine of

00:21:51.160 --> 00:21:51.799
 inspiration

00:21:51.799 --> 00:21:53.380
 they agreed

00:21:53.380 --> 00:21:53.640
 on the

00:21:53.640 --> 00:21:54.080
 doctrine of

00:21:54.080 --> 00:21:54.660
 inspiration

00:21:54.660 --> 00:21:56.240
 back in

00:21:56.240 --> 00:21:56.680
 Mark chapter

00:21:56.680 --> 00:21:57.000
 2

00:21:57.000 --> 00:21:57.380
 in verse

00:21:57.380 --> 00:21:57.940
 35

00:21:57.940 --> 00:21:58.920
 Jesus

00:21:58.920 --> 00:21:59.380
 says

00:21:59.380 --> 00:22:00.200
 David

00:22:00.200 --> 00:22:01.200
 himself

00:22:01.200 --> 00:22:02.140
 says

00:22:02.140 --> 00:22:03.580
 in

00:22:03.580 --> 00:22:03.880
 the

00:22:03.880 --> 00:22:04.160
 Holy

00:22:04.160 --> 00:22:04.680
 Spirit

00:22:04.680 --> 00:22:05.600
 and then

00:22:05.600 --> 00:22:05.920
 he quotes

00:22:05.920 --> 00:22:06.400
 the verse

00:22:06.400 --> 00:22:07.140
 or if you

00:22:07.140 --> 00:22:07.440
 like

00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:08.380
 by

00:22:08.380 --> 00:22:09.019
 the

00:22:09.019 --> 00:22:09.279
 Holy

00:22:09.279 --> 00:22:09.840
 Spirit

00:22:09.840 --> 00:22:11.200
 affirming

00:22:11.200 --> 00:22:11.799
 the fact

00:22:11.799 --> 00:22:12.340
 that

00:22:12.340 --> 00:22:12.840
 Psalm

00:22:12.840 --> 00:22:13.380
 110

00:22:13.380 --> 00:22:14.700
 was a

00:22:14.700 --> 00:22:15.019
 work

00:22:15.019 --> 00:22:15.240
 of

00:22:15.240 --> 00:22:15.960
 inspiration

00:22:15.960 --> 00:22:16.860
 from

00:22:16.860 --> 00:22:17.299
 the

00:22:17.299 --> 00:22:17.680
 mouth

00:22:17.680 --> 00:22:18.200
 of

00:22:18.200 --> 00:22:18.519
 God

00:22:18.519 --> 00:22:19.860
 now

00:22:19.860 --> 00:22:20.220
 remember

00:22:20.220 --> 00:22:21.980
 when we

00:22:21.980 --> 00:22:23.019
 say

00:22:23.019 --> 00:22:23.519
 that

00:22:23.519 --> 00:22:23.860
 the

00:22:23.860 --> 00:22:24.080
 Holy

00:22:24.080 --> 00:22:24.500
 Spirit

00:22:24.500 --> 00:22:25.279
 inspired

00:22:25.279 --> 00:22:25.799
 David

00:22:25.799 --> 00:22:27.299
 we

00:22:27.299 --> 00:22:27.659
 don't

00:22:27.659 --> 00:22:27.980
 mean

00:22:27.980 --> 00:22:28.259
 that

00:22:28.259 --> 00:22:28.480
 he

00:22:28.480 --> 00:22:29.059
 inspired

00:22:29.059 --> 00:22:29.379
 him

00:22:29.379 --> 00:22:29.500
 in

00:22:29.500 --> 00:22:29.680
 the

00:22:29.680 --> 00:22:30.039
 same

00:22:30.039 --> 00:22:30.460
 way

00:22:30.460 --> 00:22:30.919
 that

00:22:30.919 --> 00:22:31.180
 an

00:22:31.180 --> 00:22:31.659
 artist

00:22:31.659 --> 00:22:32.359
 is

00:22:32.359 --> 00:22:32.980
 inspired

00:22:32.980 --> 00:22:33.539
 by

00:22:33.539 --> 00:22:33.919
 a

00:22:33.919 --> 00:22:34.440
 beautiful

00:22:34.440 --> 00:22:35.519
 mountainous

00:22:35.519 --> 00:22:35.879
 scene

00:22:35.879 --> 00:22:36.519
 okay

00:22:36.519 --> 00:22:37.619
 we don't

00:22:37.619 --> 00:22:37.799
 mean

00:22:37.799 --> 00:22:38.099
 that

00:22:38.099 --> 00:22:39.220
 we don't

00:22:39.220 --> 00:22:39.539
 mean

00:22:39.539 --> 00:22:39.839
 in the

00:22:39.839 --> 00:22:40.099
 same

00:22:40.099 --> 00:22:40.440
 way

00:22:40.440 --> 00:22:40.779
 that

00:22:40.779 --> 00:22:41.039
 a

00:22:41.039 --> 00:22:41.460
 child

00:22:41.460 --> 00:22:41.700
 is

00:22:41.700 --> 00:22:42.440

 their

00:22:43.480 --> 00:22:43.980
 to

00:22:43.980 --> 00:22:44.899
 do

00:22:44.899 --> 00:22:45.299
 something

00:22:45.299 --> 00:22:45.559
 with

 their

00:22:45.740 --> 00:22:46.159
 lives

00:22:46.159 --> 00:22:46.440
 that

00:22:46.440 --> 00:22:47.000
 is

00:22:47.000 --> 00:22:47.639
 helpful

00:22:47.639 --> 00:22:47.919
 to

00:22:47.919 --> 00:22:48.079
 the

00:22:48.079 --> 00:22:48.419
 community

00:22:48.419 --> 00:22:49.039
 that's

00:22:49.039 --> 00:22:49.279
 that's

00:22:49.279 --> 00:22:49.379
 not

00:22:49.379 --> 00:22:49.519
 what

00:22:49.519 --> 00:22:49.659
 we

00:22:49.659 --> 00:22:49.799
 mean

00:22:53.859 --> 00:22:54.039
 that

00:22:54.039 --> 00:22:54.299

00:22:54.299 --> 00:22:55.079
 breathed

00:22:55.079 --> 00:22:55.500
 out

00:22:57.420 --> 00:22:57.700
 this

00:22:57.700 --> 00:22:57.879

 imagination

00:23:32.579 --> 00:23:33.519
 to

00:23:33.519 --> 00:23:33.819
 write

00:23:33.819 --> 00:23:34.160
 this

00:23:34.160 --> 00:23:34.599
 psalm

00:23:34.599 --> 00:23:34.720
 in

00:23:34.720 --> 00:23:34.839
 the

00:23:34.839 --> 00:23:35.019
 way

00:23:35.019 --> 00:23:35.220
 that

00:23:35.220 --> 00:23:35.500
 he

00:23:35.500 --> 00:23:35.819
 thought

00:23:35.819 --> 00:23:36.140
 things

00:23:36.140 --> 00:23:36.380
 might

00:23:36.380 --> 00:23:36.859
 unfold

00:23:36.859 --> 00:23:37.599
 that's

00:23:37.599 --> 00:23:37.720
 not

00:23:37.720 --> 00:23:37.900
 what

00:23:37.900 --> 00:23:38.160
 Jesus

00:23:38.160 --> 00:23:38.599
 means

00:23:38.599 --> 00:23:39.960
 he

00:23:39.960 --> 00:23:40.380
 means

00:23:40.380 --> 00:23:40.579
 that

00:23:40.579 --> 00:23:40.779
 the

00:23:40.779 --> 00:23:41.039
 Holy

00:23:41.039 --> 00:23:41.480
 Spirit

00:23:41.480 --> 00:23:41.700
 of

00:23:41.700 --> 00:23:42.019
 God

00:23:42.019 --> 00:23:42.960
 spoke

00:23:42.960 --> 00:23:43.440
 these

00:23:43.440 --> 00:23:43.880
 words

00:23:43.880 --> 00:23:44.720
 through

00:23:44.720 --> 00:23:45.299
 the

00:23:45.299 --> 00:23:45.779
 pen

00:23:45.779 --> 00:23:46.160
 of

00:23:46.160 --> 00:23:46.539
 David

00:23:46.539 --> 00:23:46.980
 so

00:23:46.980 --> 00:23:47.200
 that

00:23:47.200 --> 00:23:47.880
 David's

00:23:47.880 --> 00:23:48.360
 words

00:23:48.360 --> 00:23:48.860
 were

00:23:48.860 --> 00:23:49.620
 God's

00:23:49.620 --> 00:23:50.400
 words

00:23:50.400 --> 00:23:51.200
 that's

00:23:51.200 --> 00:23:51.360
 a

00:23:51.360 --> 00:23:51.780
 Christian

00:23:51.780 --> 00:23:52.500
 understanding

00:23:52.500 --> 00:23:52.740
 of

00:23:52.740 --> 00:23:53.400
 inspiration

00:23:53.400 --> 00:23:54.580
 okay

00:23:54.580 --> 00:23:55.900
 an

00:23:55.900 --> 00:23:56.420
 understanding

00:23:56.420 --> 00:23:56.640
 of

00:23:56.640 --> 00:23:57.220
 inspiration

00:23:57.220 --> 00:23:57.480
 that

00:23:57.480 --> 00:23:57.680
 the

00:23:57.680 --> 00:23:58.140
 scribes

00:23:58.140 --> 00:23:58.320
 that

00:23:58.320 --> 00:23:58.660
 Jesus

00:23:58.660 --> 00:23:58.920
 was

00:23:58.920 --> 00:23:59.240
 speaking

00:23:59.240 --> 00:23:59.460
 to

00:23:59.460 --> 00:23:59.580
 in

00:23:59.580 --> 00:23:59.720
 the

00:23:59.720 --> 00:23:59.980
 temple

00:23:59.980 --> 00:24:00.900
 agreed

00:24:00.900 --> 00:24:01.300
 with

00:24:01.300 --> 00:24:02.160
 they

00:24:02.160 --> 00:24:02.280
 were

00:24:02.280 --> 00:24:02.360
 in

00:24:02.360 --> 00:24:02.700
 agreement

00:24:02.700 --> 00:24:03.000
 about

00:24:03.000 --> 00:24:03.520
 that

00:24:03.520 --> 00:24:04.380
 Psalm

00:24:04.380 --> 00:24:04.700
 110

00:24:04.700 --> 00:24:04.920
 is

00:24:04.920 --> 00:24:05.640
 messianic

00:24:05.640 --> 00:24:06.880
 it

00:24:06.880 --> 00:24:07.020
 is

00:24:07.020 --> 00:24:07.340
 also

00:24:07.340 --> 00:24:08.020
 inspired

00:24:08.020 --> 00:24:08.860
 by

00:24:08.860 --> 00:24:09.300
 God

00:24:09.300 --> 00:24:09.600
 it

00:24:09.600 --> 00:24:09.780
 is

00:24:09.780 --> 00:24:10.380
 God's

00:24:10.380 --> 00:24:11.000
 words

00:24:11.000 --> 00:24:11.220
 which

00:24:11.220 --> 00:24:11.560
 means

00:24:11.560 --> 00:24:11.780
 that

00:24:11.780 --> 00:24:12.040
 it

00:24:12.040 --> 00:24:12.500
 is

00:24:12.500 --> 00:24:13.600
 truth

00:24:13.600 --> 00:24:14.580
 so

00:24:14.580 --> 00:24:14.800
 what's

00:24:14.800 --> 00:24:14.940
 the

00:24:14.940 --> 00:24:15.260
 point

00:24:15.260 --> 00:24:16.700
 look

00:24:16.700 --> 00:24:16.920
 at the

00:24:16.920 --> 00:24:17.120
 verse

00:24:17.120 --> 00:24:17.260
 you're

00:24:17.260 --> 00:24:17.400
 there

00:24:17.400 --> 00:24:17.500
 in

00:24:17.500 --> 00:24:18.180
 Psalm

00:24:18.180 --> 00:24:18.440
 110

00:24:18.440 --> 00:24:19.460
 look at

00:24:19.460 --> 00:24:19.559
 the

00:24:19.559 --> 00:24:19.839
 verse

00:24:19.839 --> 00:24:21.380
 we have

00:24:21.380 --> 00:24:21.500
 in

00:24:21.500 --> 00:24:21.799
 English

00:24:21.799 --> 00:24:22.240
 the word

00:24:22.240 --> 00:24:22.559
 Lord

00:24:22.559 --> 00:24:23.319
 twice

00:24:23.319 --> 00:24:24.220
 do you

00:24:24.220 --> 00:24:24.480
 notice

00:24:24.480 --> 00:24:24.779
 anything

00:24:24.779 --> 00:24:25.240
 different

00:24:25.240 --> 00:24:25.700
 about that

00:24:25.700 --> 00:24:25.940
 in your

00:24:25.940 --> 00:24:26.339
 Bible

00:24:26.339 --> 00:24:27.759
 in the

00:24:27.759 --> 00:24:28.319
 first one

00:24:28.319 --> 00:24:28.980
 most likely

00:24:28.980 --> 00:24:29.259
 in your

00:24:29.259 --> 00:24:29.559
 Bible

00:24:29.559 --> 00:24:30.119
 all four

00:24:30.119 --> 00:24:30.400
 letters

00:24:30.400 --> 00:24:30.559
 are

00:24:30.559 --> 00:24:31.259
 capitalized

00:24:31.259 --> 00:24:32.180
 in the

00:24:32.180 --> 00:24:32.680
 second one

00:24:32.680 --> 00:24:33.339
 it's not

00:24:33.339 --> 00:24:33.720
 just the

00:24:33.720 --> 00:24:34.180
 first letters

00:24:34.180 --> 00:24:34.839
 capitalized

00:24:34.839 --> 00:24:36.140
 anytime you

00:24:36.140 --> 00:24:36.500
 see all

00:24:36.500 --> 00:24:37.039
 four letters

00:24:37.039 --> 00:24:37.660
 capitalized

00:24:37.660 --> 00:24:38.099
 with Lord

00:24:38.099 --> 00:24:38.839
 it means

00:24:38.839 --> 00:24:39.220
 that the

00:24:39.220 --> 00:24:39.619
 name that

00:24:39.619 --> 00:24:39.980
 was used

00:24:39.980 --> 00:24:40.480
 in Hebrew

00:24:40.480 --> 00:24:41.359
 was Yahweh

00:24:41.359 --> 00:24:42.539
 the covenant

00:24:42.539 --> 00:24:43.019
 name of

00:24:43.019 --> 00:24:43.359
 God

00:24:43.359 --> 00:24:44.740
 that's the

00:24:44.740 --> 00:24:45.380
 high and

00:24:45.380 --> 00:24:45.859
 holy name

00:24:45.859 --> 00:24:46.240
 that's the

00:24:46.240 --> 00:24:46.719
 name that

00:24:46.719 --> 00:24:47.439
 that God

00:24:47.439 --> 00:24:48.219
 gave Moses

00:24:48.219 --> 00:24:49.099
 at the

00:24:49.099 --> 00:24:49.799
 burning bush

00:24:49.799 --> 00:24:50.379
 when when

00:24:50.379 --> 00:24:51.099
 Moses says

00:24:51.099 --> 00:24:51.959
 who should I

00:24:51.959 --> 00:24:52.639
 tell them sent

00:24:52.639 --> 00:24:53.279
 me what is

00:24:53.279 --> 00:24:53.779
 your name

00:24:53.779 --> 00:24:54.439
 and God

00:24:54.439 --> 00:24:55.179
 says I

00:24:55.179 --> 00:24:55.639
 am that

00:24:55.639 --> 00:24:56.099
 I am

00:24:56.099 --> 00:24:56.699
 I am the

00:24:56.699 --> 00:24:57.619
 self-existent

00:24:57.619 --> 00:24:58.000
 one

00:24:58.000 --> 00:24:59.039
 I am the

00:24:59.039 --> 00:25:00.019
 only God

00:25:00.019 --> 00:25:00.419
 I am

00:25:00.419 --> 00:25:01.339
 Yahweh

00:25:01.339 --> 00:25:02.119
 Jehovah

00:25:02.119 --> 00:25:03.119
 we say

00:25:03.119 --> 00:25:03.859
 sometimes

00:25:03.859 --> 00:25:04.439
 okay that's

00:25:04.439 --> 00:25:04.839
 the first

00:25:04.839 --> 00:25:05.159
 Lord

00:25:05.159 --> 00:25:06.319
 second Lord

00:25:06.319 --> 00:25:06.599
 is not

00:25:06.599 --> 00:25:07.019
 Yahweh

00:25:07.019 --> 00:25:08.500
 second Lord

00:25:08.500 --> 00:25:09.599
 is Adonai

00:25:09.599 --> 00:25:10.639
 Adonai

00:25:10.640 --> 00:25:12.780
 this word

00:25:12.780 --> 00:25:13.180
 is used

00:25:13.180 --> 00:25:15.000
 450 times

00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:15.840
 in the

00:25:15.840 --> 00:25:16.420
 Old Testament

00:25:16.420 --> 00:25:18.500
 almost

00:25:18.500 --> 00:25:19.380
 exclusively

00:25:19.380 --> 00:25:21.100
 in relation

00:25:21.100 --> 00:25:21.780
 to God

00:25:21.780 --> 00:25:23.220
 but they

00:25:23.220 --> 00:25:23.780
 used it

00:25:23.780 --> 00:25:24.340
 to relate

00:25:24.340 --> 00:25:24.840
 to this

00:25:24.840 --> 00:25:25.840
 messianic

00:25:25.840 --> 00:25:26.540
 figure

00:25:26.540 --> 00:25:27.780
 this Lord

00:25:27.780 --> 00:25:28.360
 this

00:25:28.360 --> 00:25:29.240
 master

00:25:29.240 --> 00:25:30.640
 Adonai

00:25:30.640 --> 00:25:31.320
 with the

00:25:31.320 --> 00:25:31.960
 implication

00:25:31.960 --> 00:25:33.340
 of deity

00:25:33.340 --> 00:25:34.040
 now that's

00:25:34.040 --> 00:25:34.600
 important

00:25:34.600 --> 00:25:36.800
 in other words

00:25:36.800 --> 00:25:37.240
 under the

00:25:37.240 --> 00:25:37.920
 inspiration

00:25:37.920 --> 00:25:38.259
 of the

00:25:38.259 --> 00:25:38.900
 Holy Spirit

00:25:38.900 --> 00:25:41.040
 David wrote

00:25:41.040 --> 00:25:41.480
 that the

00:25:41.480 --> 00:25:42.060
 Messiah

00:25:42.060 --> 00:25:43.740
 was not

00:25:43.740 --> 00:25:44.540
 merely someone

00:25:44.540 --> 00:25:45.019
 who would

00:25:45.019 --> 00:25:45.820
 come after

00:25:45.820 --> 00:25:46.220
 him

00:25:46.220 --> 00:25:48.380
 but is

00:25:48.380 --> 00:25:49.060
 someone who

00:25:49.060 --> 00:25:49.400
 has

00:25:49.400 --> 00:25:50.900
 preceded

00:25:50.900 --> 00:25:51.759
 him

00:25:51.759 --> 00:25:53.600
 under the

00:25:53.600 --> 00:25:54.200
 inspiration

00:25:54.200 --> 00:25:54.500
 of the

00:25:54.500 --> 00:25:55.019
 Holy Spirit

00:25:55.019 --> 00:25:55.960
 David himself

00:25:55.960 --> 00:25:56.740
 did not

00:25:56.740 --> 00:25:57.500
 recognize the

00:25:57.500 --> 00:25:58.060
 Christ as

00:25:58.060 --> 00:25:58.620
 simply his

00:25:58.620 --> 00:25:58.940
 future

00:25:58.940 --> 00:25:59.400
 offspring

00:25:59.400 --> 00:26:00.140
 but he

00:26:00.140 --> 00:26:00.640
 acknowledged

00:26:00.640 --> 00:26:01.100
 him as

00:26:01.100 --> 00:26:01.880
 his present

00:26:01.880 --> 00:26:02.640
 Lord

00:26:02.640 --> 00:26:03.720
 and Master

00:26:03.720 --> 00:26:04.820
 and God

00:26:04.820 --> 00:26:05.500
 and to

00:26:05.500 --> 00:26:05.900
 David

00:26:05.900 --> 00:26:07.000
 this Messiah

00:26:07.000 --> 00:26:08.280
 was before

00:26:08.280 --> 00:26:08.700
 him

00:26:08.700 --> 00:26:09.480
 and was

00:26:09.480 --> 00:26:10.000
 greater

00:26:10.000 --> 00:26:11.259
 than him

00:26:11.259 --> 00:26:11.900
 and his

00:26:11.900 --> 00:26:12.580
 perspective

00:26:12.580 --> 00:26:13.240
 was not

00:26:13.240 --> 00:26:13.620
 one of

00:26:13.620 --> 00:26:13.960
 future

00:26:13.960 --> 00:26:14.580
 hope

00:26:14.580 --> 00:26:15.340
 but of

00:26:15.340 --> 00:26:16.019
 present

00:26:16.019 --> 00:26:16.880
 worship

00:26:16.880 --> 00:26:18.080
 and praise

00:26:18.080 --> 00:26:18.940
 the Lord

00:26:18.940 --> 00:26:19.640
 Yahweh

00:26:19.640 --> 00:26:20.240
 has said

00:26:20.240 --> 00:26:21.580
 to my

00:26:21.580 --> 00:26:22.299
 Lord

00:26:22.299 --> 00:26:23.539
 this messianic

00:26:23.539 --> 00:26:24.140
 figure that's

00:26:24.140 --> 00:26:24.720
 supposed to

00:26:24.720 --> 00:26:25.100
 come from

00:26:25.100 --> 00:26:25.779
 my line

00:26:25.779 --> 00:26:26.620
 David is

00:26:26.620 --> 00:26:27.200
 calling him

00:26:27.200 --> 00:26:27.779
 Lord

00:26:27.779 --> 00:26:29.080
 and Savior

00:26:29.080 --> 00:26:30.240
 and God

00:26:30.240 --> 00:26:30.799
 he does not

00:26:30.799 --> 00:26:31.259
 only come

00:26:31.259 --> 00:26:31.819
 after him

00:26:31.819 --> 00:26:32.519
 he comes

00:26:32.519 --> 00:26:33.779
 before him

00:26:33.779 --> 00:26:34.539
 in David's

00:26:34.539 --> 00:26:35.000
 words

00:26:35.000 --> 00:26:37.160
 I'm reminded

00:26:37.160 --> 00:26:37.740
 of a song

00:26:37.740 --> 00:26:38.299
 it's a newer

00:26:38.299 --> 00:26:38.819
 song by

00:26:38.819 --> 00:26:39.079
 Matt

00:26:39.079 --> 00:26:39.400
 Papa

00:26:39.400 --> 00:26:39.700
 and Matt

00:26:39.700 --> 00:26:40.140
 Boswell

00:26:40.140 --> 00:26:40.480
 called

00:26:40.480 --> 00:26:41.279
 Christ the

00:26:41.279 --> 00:26:41.720
 True and

00:26:41.720 --> 00:26:41.960
 Better

00:26:41.960 --> 00:26:42.660
 and the

00:26:42.660 --> 00:26:43.480
 last verse

00:26:43.480 --> 00:26:44.380
 refers to

00:26:44.380 --> 00:26:44.940
 this thing

00:26:44.940 --> 00:26:45.740
 Christ the

00:26:45.740 --> 00:26:46.420
 true and

00:26:46.420 --> 00:26:46.700
 better

00:26:46.700 --> 00:26:47.279
 David

00:26:47.279 --> 00:26:48.799
 lowly

00:26:48.799 --> 00:26:49.279
 shepherd

00:26:49.279 --> 00:26:49.740
 mighty

00:26:49.740 --> 00:26:50.299
 king

00:26:50.299 --> 00:26:51.680
 he the

00:26:51.680 --> 00:26:52.180
 champion

00:26:52.180 --> 00:26:52.680
 in the

00:26:52.680 --> 00:26:53.160
 battle

00:26:53.160 --> 00:26:54.160
 where

00:26:54.160 --> 00:26:54.900
 oh death

00:26:54.900 --> 00:26:55.819
 is now

00:26:55.819 --> 00:26:56.660
 thy sting

00:26:56.660 --> 00:26:58.319
 in our

00:26:58.319 --> 00:26:59.019
 place

00:26:59.019 --> 00:26:59.880
 he bled

00:26:59.880 --> 00:27:00.579
 and conquered

00:27:00.579 --> 00:27:02.220
 crown him

00:27:02.220 --> 00:27:02.740
 Lord of

00:27:02.740 --> 00:27:03.339
 majesty

00:27:03.339 --> 00:27:04.740
 he shall

00:27:04.740 --> 00:27:05.119
 be the

00:27:05.119 --> 00:27:05.359
 throne

00:27:05.359 --> 00:27:05.839
 forever

00:27:05.839 --> 00:27:07.419
 we shall

00:27:07.419 --> 00:27:07.879
 heir his

00:27:07.879 --> 00:27:08.299
 people

00:27:08.299 --> 00:27:09.299
 be

00:27:09.299 --> 00:27:10.980
 and this

00:27:10.980 --> 00:27:11.359
 is a

00:27:11.359 --> 00:27:12.159
 matter of

00:27:12.159 --> 00:27:12.839
 inspiration

00:27:12.839 --> 00:27:14.480
 because what

00:27:14.480 --> 00:27:15.379
 God says

00:27:15.379 --> 00:27:16.199
 about the

00:27:16.199 --> 00:27:16.639
 Christ

00:27:16.639 --> 00:27:17.599
 is far

00:27:17.599 --> 00:27:18.379
 more important

00:27:18.379 --> 00:27:19.639
 than what

00:27:19.639 --> 00:27:20.319
 our opinions

00:27:20.319 --> 00:27:20.819
 about the

00:27:20.819 --> 00:27:21.399
 Christ are

00:27:21.399 --> 00:27:23.399
 and that's

00:27:23.399 --> 00:27:23.839
 the purpose

00:27:23.839 --> 00:27:24.279
 of Jesus

00:27:24.279 --> 00:27:25.039
 his challenge

00:27:25.039 --> 00:27:27.179
 it doesn't

00:27:27.179 --> 00:27:27.799
 matter what

00:27:27.799 --> 00:27:28.359
 the reigning

00:27:28.359 --> 00:27:29.559
 experts think

00:27:29.559 --> 00:27:30.099
 about the

00:27:30.099 --> 00:27:30.539
 things of

00:27:30.539 --> 00:27:30.919
 God

00:27:30.920 --> 00:27:32.200
 what matters

00:27:32.200 --> 00:27:32.740
 is what

00:27:32.740 --> 00:27:33.340
 God has

00:27:33.340 --> 00:27:34.200
 revealed about

00:27:34.200 --> 00:27:34.920
 himself

00:27:34.920 --> 00:27:35.940
 in the

00:27:35.940 --> 00:27:36.500
 inerrant

00:27:36.500 --> 00:27:37.860
 infallible

00:27:37.860 --> 00:27:39.000
 inspired

00:27:39.000 --> 00:27:40.400
 word of

00:27:40.400 --> 00:27:40.759
 God

00:27:40.759 --> 00:27:41.840
 that's what

00:27:41.840 --> 00:27:42.340
 matters

00:27:42.340 --> 00:27:43.360
 and Jesus

00:27:43.360 --> 00:27:44.320
 is insisting

00:27:44.320 --> 00:27:44.640
 on that

00:27:44.640 --> 00:27:45.279
 once again

00:27:45.279 --> 00:27:46.200
 how can

00:27:46.200 --> 00:27:46.700
 the scribe

00:27:46.700 --> 00:27:47.220
 say he's

00:27:47.220 --> 00:27:47.680
 David's

00:27:47.680 --> 00:27:47.960
 son

00:27:47.960 --> 00:27:48.640
 David

00:27:48.640 --> 00:27:49.500
 himself

00:27:49.500 --> 00:27:50.700
 calls him

00:27:50.700 --> 00:27:51.880
 Lord

00:27:51.880 --> 00:27:53.039
 it's a matter

00:27:53.039 --> 00:27:53.840
 of interpretation

00:27:53.840 --> 00:27:55.019
 it's a matter

00:27:55.019 --> 00:27:56.600
 of inspiration

00:27:56.600 --> 00:27:57.640
 finally

00:27:57.640 --> 00:27:58.519
 it's a matter

00:27:58.519 --> 00:28:00.160
 of identification

00:28:00.160 --> 00:28:00.480
 identification

00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:02.480
 identification

00:28:02.480 --> 00:28:03.779
 verse 37

00:28:03.779 --> 00:28:04.220
 if you're back

00:28:04.220 --> 00:28:04.740
 and go back

00:28:04.740 --> 00:28:05.500
 to Mark

00:28:05.500 --> 00:28:06.019
 chapter 12

00:28:06.019 --> 00:28:06.279
 now

00:28:06.279 --> 00:28:08.560
 verse 37

00:28:08.560 --> 00:28:11.820
 David himself

00:28:11.820 --> 00:28:12.259
 calls him

00:28:12.259 --> 00:28:12.540
 Lord

00:28:12.540 --> 00:28:14.820
 how is he

00:28:14.820 --> 00:28:15.279
 his son

00:28:15.279 --> 00:28:16.980
 David himself

00:28:16.980 --> 00:28:17.440
 calls him

00:28:17.440 --> 00:28:17.700
 Lord

00:28:17.700 --> 00:28:19.200
 how is he

00:28:19.200 --> 00:28:19.720
 his son

00:28:19.720 --> 00:28:21.980
 so Jesus

00:28:21.980 --> 00:28:22.680
 forces the

00:28:22.680 --> 00:28:23.019
 people

00:28:23.019 --> 00:28:24.720
 to reevaluate

00:28:24.720 --> 00:28:25.380
 their position

00:28:25.380 --> 00:28:27.220
 and he's

00:28:27.220 --> 00:28:27.620
 essentially

00:28:27.620 --> 00:28:28.279
 asking this

00:28:28.279 --> 00:28:28.740
 question

00:28:28.740 --> 00:28:30.140
 how can

00:28:30.140 --> 00:28:30.759
 the Christ

00:28:30.759 --> 00:28:32.180
 be David's

00:28:32.180 --> 00:28:32.480
 son

00:28:32.480 --> 00:28:33.279
 and

00:28:33.279 --> 00:28:34.640
 David's

00:28:34.640 --> 00:28:34.900
 Lord

00:28:34.900 --> 00:28:36.000
 how is that

00:28:36.000 --> 00:28:36.740
 even possible

00:28:36.740 --> 00:28:38.519
 again

00:28:38.519 --> 00:28:39.259
 Jesus isn't

00:28:39.259 --> 00:28:39.940
 denying the

00:28:39.940 --> 00:28:40.279
 fact

00:28:40.279 --> 00:28:41.160
 that the

00:28:41.160 --> 00:28:41.539
 Messiah

00:28:41.539 --> 00:28:42.039
 would come

00:28:42.039 --> 00:28:42.759
 from David's

00:28:42.759 --> 00:28:43.180
 lineage

00:28:43.180 --> 00:28:44.779
 remember

00:28:44.779 --> 00:28:45.319
 all of this

00:28:45.319 --> 00:28:46.079
 began with

00:28:46.079 --> 00:28:46.779
 the scribe's

00:28:46.779 --> 00:28:47.240
 answer

00:28:47.240 --> 00:28:47.839
 insisting

00:28:47.839 --> 00:28:48.200
 that the

00:28:48.200 --> 00:28:48.599
 Christ

00:28:48.599 --> 00:28:49.720
 was only

00:28:49.720 --> 00:28:50.440
 the son

00:28:50.440 --> 00:28:50.920
 of David

00:28:50.920 --> 00:28:52.099
 and Jesus

00:28:52.099 --> 00:28:52.559
 is now

00:28:52.559 --> 00:28:53.099
 using the

00:28:53.099 --> 00:28:53.480
 scripture

00:28:53.480 --> 00:28:56.160
 inspired by

00:28:56.160 --> 00:28:56.620
 God

00:28:56.620 --> 00:28:57.640
 to prove

00:28:57.640 --> 00:28:57.960
 that the

00:28:57.960 --> 00:28:58.360
 Messiah

00:28:58.360 --> 00:28:58.720
 was

00:28:58.720 --> 00:28:59.440
 indeed

00:28:59.440 --> 00:28:59.819
 both

00:28:59.819 --> 00:29:00.620
 son

00:29:00.620 --> 00:29:01.099
 of David

00:29:01.099 --> 00:29:02.240
 and his

00:29:02.240 --> 00:29:02.579
 Lord

00:29:02.579 --> 00:29:04.500
 but how

00:29:04.500 --> 00:29:04.740
 is it

00:29:04.740 --> 00:29:05.160
 possible

00:29:05.160 --> 00:29:07.120
 there's only

00:29:07.120 --> 00:29:07.539
 one way

00:29:07.539 --> 00:29:07.799
 that's

00:29:07.799 --> 00:29:08.180
 possible

00:29:08.180 --> 00:29:09.920
 this

00:29:09.920 --> 00:29:10.420
 Messiah

00:29:10.420 --> 00:29:11.980
 must be

00:29:11.980 --> 00:29:13.160
 a divine

00:29:13.160 --> 00:29:14.220
 human

00:29:14.220 --> 00:29:15.059
 being

00:29:15.059 --> 00:29:17.579
 the only

00:29:17.579 --> 00:29:18.120
 way for

00:29:18.120 --> 00:29:18.759
 the Christ

00:29:18.759 --> 00:29:19.819
 to fulfill

00:29:19.819 --> 00:29:20.920
 the scriptures

00:29:20.920 --> 00:29:21.819
 requirements

00:29:21.819 --> 00:29:22.859
 for the

00:29:22.859 --> 00:29:23.319
 Messiah

00:29:23.319 --> 00:29:24.359
 he had

00:29:24.359 --> 00:29:24.819
 to be

00:29:24.819 --> 00:29:25.259
 both

00:29:25.259 --> 00:29:26.079
 divine

00:29:26.079 --> 00:29:27.379
 and

00:29:27.379 --> 00:29:28.460
 human

00:29:28.460 --> 00:29:30.059
 he was

00:29:30.059 --> 00:29:30.619
 not only

00:29:30.619 --> 00:29:31.159
 David's

00:29:31.159 --> 00:29:31.460
 son

00:29:31.460 --> 00:29:32.740
 he was

00:29:32.740 --> 00:29:33.299
 God's

00:29:33.299 --> 00:29:33.599
 son

00:29:33.599 --> 00:29:35.700
 co-equal

00:29:35.700 --> 00:29:37.439
 co-eternal

00:29:37.439 --> 00:29:38.559
 with God

00:29:38.559 --> 00:29:39.139
 the Father

00:29:39.139 --> 00:29:41.700
 think about

00:29:41.700 --> 00:29:42.319
 the Messiah's

00:29:42.319 --> 00:29:42.659
 role for

00:29:42.659 --> 00:29:42.980
 just a

00:29:42.980 --> 00:29:43.259
 moment

00:29:43.259 --> 00:29:45.859
 the Jews

00:29:45.859 --> 00:29:46.259
 thought of

00:29:46.259 --> 00:29:46.659
 him as a

00:29:46.659 --> 00:29:46.939
 human

00:29:46.939 --> 00:29:47.339
 ruler

00:29:47.339 --> 00:29:49.179
 he was

00:29:49.179 --> 00:29:49.419
 going to

00:29:49.419 --> 00:29:49.980
 deliver the

00:29:49.980 --> 00:29:50.319
 nation

00:29:50.319 --> 00:29:50.740
 from the

00:29:50.740 --> 00:29:51.200
 oppression

00:29:51.200 --> 00:29:51.759
 of Rome

00:29:51.759 --> 00:29:52.920
 but God

00:29:52.920 --> 00:29:53.519
 doesn't need

00:29:53.519 --> 00:29:54.079
 a Messiah

00:29:54.079 --> 00:29:54.779
 to deliver

00:29:54.779 --> 00:29:55.420
 a nation

00:29:55.420 --> 00:29:56.859
 he doesn't

00:29:56.859 --> 00:29:57.140
 need a

00:29:57.140 --> 00:29:57.379
 Messiah

00:29:57.379 --> 00:29:57.759
 to do

00:29:57.759 --> 00:29:58.039
 that

00:29:58.039 --> 00:29:59.799
 think about

00:29:59.799 --> 00:30:00.240
 the Old

00:30:00.240 --> 00:30:00.619
 Testament

00:30:00.619 --> 00:30:01.259
 examples

00:30:01.259 --> 00:30:02.039
 where God

00:30:02.039 --> 00:30:02.640
 delivered the

00:30:02.640 --> 00:30:03.119
 nation of

00:30:03.119 --> 00:30:03.359
 Israel

00:30:03.359 --> 00:30:04.440
 without a

00:30:04.440 --> 00:30:04.740
 prominent

00:30:04.740 --> 00:30:05.180
 figure

00:30:05.180 --> 00:30:07.660
 think about

00:30:07.660 --> 00:30:08.319
 even coming

00:30:08.319 --> 00:30:08.579
 out of

00:30:08.579 --> 00:30:08.859
 Egypt

00:30:08.859 --> 00:30:09.940
 all Moses

00:30:09.940 --> 00:30:10.579
 was was a

00:30:10.579 --> 00:30:11.200
 spokesman

00:30:11.200 --> 00:30:12.579
 God

00:30:12.579 --> 00:30:13.279
 delivers those

00:30:13.279 --> 00:30:13.660
 people

00:30:13.660 --> 00:30:14.839
 remember in

00:30:14.839 --> 00:30:15.539
 Isaiah the

00:30:15.539 --> 00:30:16.019
 story of

00:30:16.019 --> 00:30:16.799
 Sennacherib

00:30:16.799 --> 00:30:18.480
 hundreds of

00:30:18.480 --> 00:30:19.059
 thousands of

00:30:19.059 --> 00:30:19.680
 soldiers are

00:30:19.680 --> 00:30:20.240
 camped out

00:30:20.240 --> 00:30:21.359
 near Jerusalem

00:30:21.359 --> 00:30:22.000
 and the

00:30:22.000 --> 00:30:22.399
 king of

00:30:22.399 --> 00:30:22.859
 Jerusalem

00:30:22.859 --> 00:30:23.619
 of Judah

00:30:23.619 --> 00:30:24.039
 goes and

00:30:24.039 --> 00:30:24.639
 he prays to

00:30:24.639 --> 00:30:24.939
 God and

00:30:24.939 --> 00:30:25.479
 he lays out

00:30:25.479 --> 00:30:25.899
 the letter

00:30:25.899 --> 00:30:27.740
 the criticisms

00:30:27.740 --> 00:30:28.740
 from Sennacherib

00:30:28.740 --> 00:30:29.779
 and he prays

00:30:29.779 --> 00:30:30.379
 and says Lord

00:30:30.379 --> 00:30:31.179
 the only way

00:30:31.179 --> 00:30:31.819
 that anything

00:30:31.819 --> 00:30:32.419
 happens with

00:30:32.419 --> 00:30:32.919
 this is if you

00:30:32.919 --> 00:30:33.500
 do it and

00:30:33.500 --> 00:30:33.879
 they go out

00:30:33.879 --> 00:30:34.179
 the next

00:30:34.179 --> 00:30:34.619
 morning they

00:30:34.619 --> 00:30:35.139
 find that all

00:30:35.139 --> 00:30:35.519
 the soldiers

00:30:35.519 --> 00:30:35.959
 are dead

00:30:35.959 --> 00:30:37.079
 in the middle

00:30:37.079 --> 00:30:37.479
 of the night

00:30:37.479 --> 00:30:38.039
 God kills

00:30:38.039 --> 00:30:38.199
 them

00:30:38.199 --> 00:30:39.740
 God doesn't

00:30:39.740 --> 00:30:40.059
 need a

00:30:40.059 --> 00:30:40.699
 Messiah to

00:30:40.699 --> 00:30:41.339
 deliver an

00:30:41.339 --> 00:30:42.059
 earthly nation

00:30:42.059 --> 00:30:42.619
 from another

00:30:42.619 --> 00:30:43.879
 earthly nation

00:30:43.879 --> 00:30:45.399
 but to deliver

00:30:45.399 --> 00:30:46.339
 his people from

00:30:46.339 --> 00:30:47.099
 sin and death

00:30:47.099 --> 00:30:47.519
 however

00:30:47.519 --> 00:30:47.900
 God

00:30:47.900 --> 00:30:49.099
 required a

00:30:49.099 --> 00:30:49.440
 Savior

00:30:49.440 --> 00:30:50.660
 and it

00:30:50.660 --> 00:30:51.519
 required one

00:30:51.519 --> 00:30:52.059
 who was not

00:30:52.059 --> 00:30:52.799
 only human

00:30:52.799 --> 00:30:54.299
 but divine

00:30:54.299 --> 00:30:56.279
 so the Jews

00:30:56.279 --> 00:30:57.759
 misunderstood the

00:30:57.759 --> 00:30:58.660
 Messiah's purpose

00:30:58.660 --> 00:31:00.259
 so that they

00:31:00.259 --> 00:31:01.279
 failed to

00:31:01.279 --> 00:31:02.059
 understand his

00:31:02.059 --> 00:31:03.079
 identity as

00:31:03.079 --> 00:31:03.440
 well

00:31:03.440 --> 00:31:04.799
 so Jesus

00:31:04.799 --> 00:31:05.480
 was working

00:31:05.480 --> 00:31:06.059
 it backwards

00:31:06.059 --> 00:31:07.400
 he's teaching

00:31:07.400 --> 00:31:08.379
 them about his

00:31:08.379 --> 00:31:09.099
 true identity

00:31:09.099 --> 00:31:10.440
 so that after his

00:31:10.440 --> 00:31:10.879
 death and

00:31:10.879 --> 00:31:11.379
 resurrection

00:31:11.379 --> 00:31:12.500
 they could

00:31:12.500 --> 00:31:13.420
 understand his

00:31:13.420 --> 00:31:14.900
 true purpose

00:31:14.900 --> 00:31:16.860
 because he

00:31:16.860 --> 00:31:17.960
 Jesus of

00:31:17.960 --> 00:31:18.440
 Nazareth

00:31:18.440 --> 00:31:19.460
 is this

00:31:19.460 --> 00:31:20.460
 divine human

00:31:20.460 --> 00:31:21.560
 Messiah about

00:31:21.560 --> 00:31:22.100
 which David

00:31:22.100 --> 00:31:22.440
 wrote

00:31:22.440 --> 00:31:24.400
 he perfectly

00:31:24.400 --> 00:31:25.720
 fulfilled all

00:31:25.720 --> 00:31:26.500
 of those covenant

00:31:26.500 --> 00:31:27.380
 promises and

00:31:27.380 --> 00:31:28.259
 prophecies written

00:31:28.259 --> 00:31:29.100
 in the Old

00:31:29.100 --> 00:31:29.840
 Testament and

00:31:29.840 --> 00:31:30.440
 this is the

00:31:30.440 --> 00:31:31.000
 message of the

00:31:31.000 --> 00:31:31.840
 Bible that

00:31:31.840 --> 00:31:33.160
 Jesus is the

00:31:33.160 --> 00:31:33.860
 son of David

00:31:33.860 --> 00:31:35.000
 and the son

00:31:35.000 --> 00:31:35.500
 of God

00:31:35.500 --> 00:31:36.640
 this is Mark's

00:31:36.640 --> 00:31:37.200
 purpose in

00:31:37.200 --> 00:31:37.940
 writing this

00:31:37.940 --> 00:31:39.060
 Jesus of

00:31:39.060 --> 00:31:39.759
 Nazareth the

00:31:39.759 --> 00:31:40.680
 good news is

00:31:40.680 --> 00:31:42.140
 that he is the

00:31:42.140 --> 00:31:43.200
 Messiah and

00:31:43.200 --> 00:31:43.980
 the son of

00:31:43.980 --> 00:31:44.340
 God

00:31:44.339 --> 00:31:45.720
 Jesus' purpose

00:31:45.720 --> 00:31:46.220
 in verses

00:31:46.220 --> 00:31:48.119
 35-37 is to

00:31:48.119 --> 00:31:49.199
 say he is not

00:31:49.199 --> 00:31:50.379
 only David's

00:31:50.379 --> 00:31:51.319
 son he is

00:31:51.319 --> 00:31:52.679
 God's son which

00:31:52.679 --> 00:31:54.179
 makes only him

00:31:54.179 --> 00:31:55.480
 capable of

00:31:55.480 --> 00:31:56.879
 delivering and

00:31:56.879 --> 00:31:58.679
 bringing salvation

00:31:58.679 --> 00:32:00.359
 let me give you a

00:32:00.359 --> 00:32:01.019
 few more verses

00:32:01.019 --> 00:32:01.720
 about this

00:32:01.720 --> 00:32:03.619
 remember those

00:32:03.619 --> 00:32:04.539
 genealogies we

00:32:04.539 --> 00:32:04.980
 talked about

00:32:04.980 --> 00:32:05.419
 earlier

00:32:05.419 --> 00:32:07.319
 Matthew starts

00:32:07.319 --> 00:32:08.000
 with one at the

00:32:08.000 --> 00:32:08.659
 very beginning of

00:32:08.659 --> 00:32:08.919
 the New

00:32:08.919 --> 00:32:09.319
 Testament

00:32:09.319 --> 00:32:11.279
 why

00:32:11.279 --> 00:32:13.500
 he's showing

00:32:13.500 --> 00:32:14.759
 that in this

00:32:14.759 --> 00:32:15.779
 genealogy of

00:32:15.779 --> 00:32:16.619
 David's line

00:32:16.619 --> 00:32:17.640
 it leads all

00:32:17.640 --> 00:32:18.819
 the way up to

00:32:18.819 --> 00:32:20.140
 this backwater area

00:32:20.140 --> 00:32:21.140
 in Nazareth

00:32:21.140 --> 00:32:23.259
 with Joseph and

00:32:23.259 --> 00:32:25.339
 Mary and where

00:32:25.339 --> 00:32:26.339
 Jesus is born

00:32:26.339 --> 00:32:28.460
 Jesus is in this

00:32:28.460 --> 00:32:29.619
 line that's its

00:32:29.619 --> 00:32:30.019
 purpose

00:32:30.019 --> 00:32:32.200
 then we see in

00:32:32.200 --> 00:32:32.740
 Romans chapter

00:32:32.740 --> 00:32:33.180
 one

00:32:33.180 --> 00:32:35.019
 Paul says

00:32:35.019 --> 00:32:35.700
 concerning his

00:32:35.700 --> 00:32:37.299
 son who was

00:32:37.299 --> 00:32:38.259
 descended from

00:32:38.259 --> 00:32:39.299
 David according to

00:32:39.299 --> 00:32:41.019
 the flesh and was

00:32:41.019 --> 00:32:42.119
 declared to be the

00:32:42.119 --> 00:32:43.000
 son of God in

00:32:43.000 --> 00:32:44.859
 power according to

00:32:44.859 --> 00:32:45.539
 the spirit of

00:32:45.539 --> 00:32:47.519
 holiness by his

00:32:47.519 --> 00:32:48.420
 resurrection from

00:32:48.420 --> 00:32:49.980
 the dead Jesus

00:32:49.980 --> 00:32:50.819
 Christ our Lord

00:32:50.819 --> 00:32:51.960
 you know why you

00:32:51.960 --> 00:32:52.639
 need to work hard

00:32:52.639 --> 00:32:53.480
 at bringing someone

00:32:53.480 --> 00:32:54.559
 to Easter service

00:32:54.559 --> 00:32:55.279
 Sunday resurrection

00:32:55.279 --> 00:32:56.799
 Sunday because they

00:32:56.799 --> 00:32:58.039
 need to hear that

00:32:58.039 --> 00:32:58.559
 without the

00:32:58.559 --> 00:32:59.940
 resurrection none of

00:32:59.940 --> 00:33:00.839
 this means anything

00:33:00.839 --> 00:33:02.440
 the thing that makes

00:33:02.440 --> 00:33:04.180
 us know that Jesus

00:33:04.180 --> 00:33:05.539
 is the Messiah is

00:33:05.539 --> 00:33:06.379
 the fact of his

00:33:06.379 --> 00:33:07.539
 resurrection the

00:33:07.539 --> 00:33:08.619
 thing that first

00:33:08.619 --> 00:33:10.199
 tells us and proves

00:33:10.199 --> 00:33:11.359
 to us that this

00:33:11.359 --> 00:33:12.619
 Bible is inerrant

00:33:12.619 --> 00:33:13.579
 that it is true is

00:33:13.579 --> 00:33:15.039
 the fact of Jesus's

00:33:15.039 --> 00:33:16.519
 resurrection and

00:33:16.519 --> 00:33:17.379
 that's what Paul's

00:33:17.379 --> 00:33:18.399
 saying concerning his

00:33:18.399 --> 00:33:19.719
 son he came from the

00:33:19.719 --> 00:33:20.819
 line of David but he

00:33:20.819 --> 00:33:22.019
 was also declared to

00:33:22.019 --> 00:33:24.119
 be God's son in power

00:33:24.119 --> 00:33:26.119
 through the resurrection

00:33:26.119 --> 00:33:26.959
 from the dead

00:33:26.959 --> 00:33:28.500
 Galatians chapter

00:33:28.500 --> 00:33:29.759
 four when the

00:33:29.759 --> 00:33:30.719
 fullness of time had

00:33:30.719 --> 00:33:32.699
 come God sent forth

00:33:32.699 --> 00:33:35.599
 his son born of

00:33:35.599 --> 00:33:37.139
 woman born under the

00:33:37.140 --> 00:33:38.700
 law to redeem those

00:33:38.700 --> 00:33:39.360
 who were under the

00:33:39.360 --> 00:33:40.980
 law so that we

00:33:40.980 --> 00:33:42.240
 might receive adoption

00:33:42.240 --> 00:33:44.940
 as sons Philippians

00:33:44.940 --> 00:33:45.600
 2 is my favorite

00:33:45.600 --> 00:33:48.840
 one verse 6 though

00:33:48.840 --> 00:33:49.740
 he was in the form

00:33:49.740 --> 00:33:51.560
 of God in other

00:33:51.560 --> 00:33:54.280
 words he was God he

00:33:54.280 --> 00:33:55.460
 did not count equality

00:33:55.460 --> 00:33:56.400
 with God a thing to

00:33:56.400 --> 00:33:58.220
 be grasped but he

00:33:58.220 --> 00:34:00.480
 emptied himself by

00:34:00.480 --> 00:34:01.700
 taking on the form of

00:34:01.700 --> 00:34:03.880
 a servant being born

00:34:03.880 --> 00:34:04.759
 in the likeness of

00:34:04.759 --> 00:34:07.120
 men and being found in

00:34:07.119 --> 00:34:08.859
 human form he humbled

00:34:08.859 --> 00:34:10.960
 himself became obedient

00:34:10.960 --> 00:34:12.059
 to the point of death

00:34:12.059 --> 00:34:14.079
 even death on a cross

00:34:14.079 --> 00:34:17.659
 therefore God has highly

00:34:17.659 --> 00:34:20.519
 exalted him and bestowed

00:34:20.519 --> 00:34:22.259
 on him the name that is

00:34:22.259 --> 00:34:24.059
 above every name so that

00:34:24.059 --> 00:34:25.940
 the name of Jesus every

00:34:25.940 --> 00:34:27.859
 knee should bow in heaven

00:34:27.859 --> 00:34:29.400
 and earth and under the

00:34:29.400 --> 00:34:30.679
 earth and every tongue

00:34:30.679 --> 00:34:32.679
 confess that Jesus Christ

00:34:32.679 --> 00:34:34.299
 is Lord to the glory of

00:34:34.299 --> 00:34:35.319
 God the Father you know

00:34:35.320 --> 00:34:36.200
 what that sounds like to

00:34:36.200 --> 00:34:37.580
 me that sounds like an

00:34:37.580 --> 00:34:38.700
 eternal throne that will

00:34:38.700 --> 00:34:39.960
 never be diminished in any

00:34:39.960 --> 00:34:41.260
 way that's the covenant

00:34:41.260 --> 00:34:42.700
 made to David that's

00:34:42.700 --> 00:34:43.720
 applied to Jesus of

00:34:43.720 --> 00:34:45.059
 Nazareth the Son of God

00:34:45.059 --> 00:34:50.539
 Hebrews 1 long ago at

00:34:50.539 --> 00:34:51.580
 many times and in many

00:34:51.580 --> 00:34:53.300
 ways God spoke to our

00:34:53.300 --> 00:34:54.539
 fathers by the prophets

00:34:54.539 --> 00:34:57.640
 but in these last days he

00:34:57.640 --> 00:35:00.920
 has spoken to us by his

00:35:00.920 --> 00:35:04.159
 son he's appointed him

00:35:04.159 --> 00:35:06.260
 heir of all things through

00:35:06.260 --> 00:35:07.619
 whom also he created the

00:35:07.619 --> 00:35:09.579
 world he's the radiance of

00:35:09.579 --> 00:35:11.220
 the glory of God the exact

00:35:11.220 --> 00:35:13.039
 imprint of his nature he

00:35:13.039 --> 00:35:14.440
 upholds the universe by the

00:35:14.440 --> 00:35:16.240
 word of his power and after

00:35:16.240 --> 00:35:18.619
 making purification for sins

00:35:18.619 --> 00:35:20.780
 that's the purpose he sat

00:35:20.780 --> 00:35:22.720
 down at the right hand of the

00:35:22.720 --> 00:35:23.659
 majesty on high

00:35:23.659 --> 00:35:27.339
 second Timothy 2 remember

00:35:27.339 --> 00:35:30.179
 Jesus Christ risen from the

00:35:30.179 --> 00:35:33.219
 dead the offspring of David

00:35:33.219 --> 00:35:35.420
 as preached in my gospel

00:35:35.420 --> 00:35:38.440
 when Jesus challenged the

00:35:38.440 --> 00:35:40.059
 scribe that day in the

00:35:40.059 --> 00:35:43.099
 temple he wasn't only forcing

00:35:43.099 --> 00:35:44.699
 them to reevaluate their

00:35:44.699 --> 00:35:47.019
 thoughts of the Messiah he was

00:35:47.019 --> 00:35:49.279
 leading them to understand that

00:35:49.279 --> 00:35:52.440
 he is that promised Savior

00:35:52.440 --> 00:35:56.679
 here Kent Hughes wrote this

00:35:56.679 --> 00:35:59.019
 Jesus's exchange with the

00:35:59.019 --> 00:36:01.280
 scribes was a veiled self

00:36:01.280 --> 00:36:04.119
 enunciation that he himself

00:36:04.119 --> 00:36:06.900
 was Messiah the divine human

00:36:06.900 --> 00:36:08.360
 fulfillment of this prophecy

00:36:08.360 --> 00:36:12.519
 before the week was over he the

00:36:12.519 --> 00:36:14.539
 son of David would die in

00:36:14.539 --> 00:36:17.700
 fulfillment of prophecy then his

00:36:17.700 --> 00:36:19.179
 mighty resurrection would make

00:36:19.179 --> 00:36:21.340
 everything clear concerning his

00:36:21.340 --> 00:36:24.960
 humanity and divinity that's the

00:36:24.960 --> 00:36:25.280
 point

00:36:25.280 --> 00:36:31.360
 to view the Christ as only a

00:36:31.360 --> 00:36:34.300
 political Savior was ultimately

00:36:34.300 --> 00:36:37.460
 no lasting help for the people of

00:36:37.460 --> 00:36:37.760
 Israel

00:36:37.760 --> 00:36:42.120
 there's no help if all they're

00:36:42.120 --> 00:36:44.460
 doing is getting a restoration of

00:36:44.460 --> 00:36:45.320
 an earthly kingdom

00:36:45.320 --> 00:36:48.740
 their shooting and their

00:36:48.740 --> 00:36:51.200
 expectations are far too small

00:36:51.200 --> 00:36:53.800
 but God's intention was far

00:36:53.800 --> 00:36:54.600
 greater than that

00:36:54.600 --> 00:37:00.760
 in the same way to view Jesus as

00:37:00.760 --> 00:37:02.900
 anything less than Savior and Lord

00:37:02.900 --> 00:37:05.980
 is no less lasting help to me and

00:37:05.980 --> 00:37:06.300
 to you

00:37:06.300 --> 00:37:11.880
 this is true of Jesus this is who he is

00:37:11.880 --> 00:37:15.780
 this is why he came and he demands our

00:37:15.780 --> 00:37:17.880
 repentance and faith in light of that

00:37:17.880 --> 00:37:18.420
 fact

00:37:18.420 --> 00:37:21.480
 look at the end of verse 37 this is

00:37:21.480 --> 00:37:22.200
 where we'll close

00:37:22.200 --> 00:37:27.140
 I know it's 1115 and you're just blew

00:37:27.140 --> 00:37:28.340
 your mind that I said this is we're

00:37:28.340 --> 00:37:29.300
 going to close then it

00:37:29.300 --> 00:37:30.880
 verse 37

00:37:30.880 --> 00:37:34.300
 the great throng heard him gladly

00:37:34.300 --> 00:37:37.000
 the great throng heard him gladly

00:37:37.000 --> 00:37:40.240
 and Mark doesn't clarify what he means

00:37:40.240 --> 00:37:40.720
 by that

00:37:40.720 --> 00:37:43.380
 it could be

00:37:43.380 --> 00:37:46.519
 that they received Jesus's words by

00:37:46.519 --> 00:37:48.440
 faith and began to follow him as Lord

00:37:48.440 --> 00:37:50.260
 could be

00:37:50.260 --> 00:37:54.160
 it could be that they were only intrigued

00:37:54.160 --> 00:37:57.760
 by a fresh and exciting perspective of

00:37:57.760 --> 00:38:00.600
 Psalm 110 or that they were just really

00:38:00.600 --> 00:38:03.900
 happy anytime the arrogant scribes were

00:38:03.900 --> 00:38:06.120
 stumped by another teacher there's

00:38:06.120 --> 00:38:07.560
 probably a lot of truth in that as

00:38:07.560 --> 00:38:07.840
 well

00:38:07.840 --> 00:38:12.180
 what we know from other passages is

00:38:12.180 --> 00:38:14.200
 that immediately following Jesus's

00:38:14.200 --> 00:38:16.340
 resurrection the amount of people

00:38:16.340 --> 00:38:19.280
 following him was relatively small

00:38:19.280 --> 00:38:22.660
 but Mark calls this a great throng

00:38:22.660 --> 00:38:26.700
 which indicates to me that many were

00:38:26.699 --> 00:38:28.339
 happy to hear Jesus

00:38:28.339 --> 00:38:31.919
 few were willing to believe Jesus

00:38:31.919 --> 00:38:37.379
 and my point with that is that it is

00:38:37.379 --> 00:38:40.779
 entirely possible to sit in services like

00:38:40.779 --> 00:38:44.259
 this week after week and be very happy to

00:38:44.259 --> 00:38:48.779
 hear from and about Jesus without ever

00:38:48.779 --> 00:38:50.619
 actually believing in him

00:38:50.619 --> 00:38:55.460
 without ever actually following him alone

00:38:55.460 --> 00:38:57.139
 for salvation

00:38:57.139 --> 00:39:02.500
 it's entirely possible to be a follower of

00:39:02.500 --> 00:39:06.559
 Christianity and not be a disciple of Christ

00:39:06.559 --> 00:39:10.880
 so my question for you this morning as it is most Sunday

00:39:10.880 --> 00:39:11.239
 morning

00:39:11.239 --> 00:39:16.199
 is not to cause you to doubt your salvation

00:39:16.199 --> 00:39:17.219
 that's not the question

00:39:17.219 --> 00:39:19.599
 my question is just simply to say

00:39:19.599 --> 00:39:23.059
 do you gladly hear Jesus

00:39:23.059 --> 00:39:28.500
 or do you gladly receive by faith

00:39:28.500 --> 00:39:31.639
 what you hear from Jesus

00:39:31.639 --> 00:39:34.279
 there's a difference in those two things

00:39:34.279 --> 00:39:39.599
 lots of people go to church because they're happy to hear about Jesus and

00:39:39.599 --> 00:39:40.679
 they're happy to hear from him

00:39:40.679 --> 00:39:44.079
 lots of crowds gathered around Jesus in the gospels

00:39:44.079 --> 00:39:47.119
 for that reason they were glad to hear him

00:39:47.119 --> 00:39:50.179
 they were glad to see what he could do

00:39:50.179 --> 00:39:52.880
 they were glad to be witnesses of those things

00:39:52.880 --> 00:39:54.779
 it was entertaining if not anything else

00:39:54.779 --> 00:39:58.860
 but very few at least at this point

00:39:58.860 --> 00:40:03.500
 seem to be glad to receive what he was actually saying

00:40:03.500 --> 00:40:06.019
 to receive him

00:40:06.019 --> 00:40:08.960
 to follow him

00:40:08.960 --> 00:40:11.280
 to turn from sin

00:40:11.280 --> 00:40:13.099
 to turn from Judaism

00:40:13.099 --> 00:40:15.460
 to turn from secularism

00:40:15.460 --> 00:40:17.220
 to turn from whatever

00:40:17.220 --> 00:40:18.159
 ism

00:40:18.159 --> 00:40:19.480
 you may claim

00:40:19.480 --> 00:40:21.800
 and follow Christ alone

00:40:21.800 --> 00:40:25.900
 and the point of verses 35 and 30 through 37

00:40:25.900 --> 00:40:27.079
 is to say

00:40:27.079 --> 00:40:29.019
 this is who Jesus is

00:40:29.019 --> 00:40:32.760
 and he leaves no room for indifference to us

00:40:32.760 --> 00:40:36.720
 cannot be indifferent to the person of Christ

00:40:36.719 --> 00:40:39.279
 you either follow him

00:40:39.279 --> 00:40:41.459
 or you reject him

00:40:41.459 --> 00:40:43.599
 and I'm going to leave you

00:40:43.599 --> 00:40:45.579
 and we'll close with this from John chapter 3

00:40:45.579 --> 00:40:47.259
 these are Jesus's words

00:40:47.259 --> 00:40:48.739
 he says

00:40:48.739 --> 00:40:50.779
 for God did not send his son

00:40:50.779 --> 00:40:53.159
 into the world to condemn the world

00:40:53.159 --> 00:40:57.099
 but in order that the world might be saved through him

00:40:57.099 --> 00:40:59.899
 whoever believes in him

00:40:59.899 --> 00:41:01.659
 is not condemned

00:41:01.659 --> 00:41:04.219
 you know what I love about that

00:41:04.219 --> 00:41:06.099
 that on your worst day

00:41:06.099 --> 00:41:07.579
 if you're in Christ

00:41:07.579 --> 00:41:08.959
 you're still in Christ

00:41:08.959 --> 00:41:11.079
 on your worst day

00:41:11.079 --> 00:41:14.939
 on the days when you're really struggling

00:41:14.939 --> 00:41:17.039
 with that besetting sin perhaps

00:41:17.039 --> 00:41:18.739
 that the book of Hebrews talks about

00:41:18.739 --> 00:41:19.599
 or the thing and you're just

00:41:19.599 --> 00:41:21.239
 you're feeling all the shame

00:41:21.239 --> 00:41:23.279
 that comes from falling again

00:41:23.279 --> 00:41:24.500
 and again and again

00:41:24.500 --> 00:41:25.799
 if you are in Christ

00:41:25.799 --> 00:41:27.019
 you are still in Christ

00:41:27.019 --> 00:41:28.739
 you are not condemned

00:41:28.739 --> 00:41:32.019
 and he says

00:41:32.019 --> 00:41:33.099
 go and sin no more

00:41:33.099 --> 00:41:35.500
 but you are safe in him

00:41:35.500 --> 00:41:36.259
 I love that

00:41:36.259 --> 00:41:37.619
 but the verse isn't in there

00:41:37.619 --> 00:41:39.639
 whoever believes in him

00:41:39.639 --> 00:41:40.579
 is not condemned

00:41:40.579 --> 00:41:41.500
 but

00:41:41.500 --> 00:41:44.059
 whoever does not believe

00:41:44.059 --> 00:41:46.179
 is condemned already

00:41:46.179 --> 00:41:48.860
 because he has not believed

00:41:48.860 --> 00:41:49.460
 in the name

00:41:49.460 --> 00:41:50.440
 of the only

00:41:50.440 --> 00:41:51.559
 son of God

00:41:51.559 --> 00:41:53.980
 and that's the tragedy

00:41:53.980 --> 00:41:54.599
 of those

00:41:54.599 --> 00:41:55.460
 who sit

00:41:55.460 --> 00:41:56.679
 Sunday after Sunday

00:41:56.679 --> 00:41:57.900
 in church services

00:41:57.900 --> 00:41:58.639
 like ours

00:41:58.639 --> 00:41:59.659
 and are glad

00:41:59.659 --> 00:42:00.440
 to hear

00:42:00.440 --> 00:42:01.099
 Jesus

00:42:01.099 --> 00:42:01.900
 glad to hear

00:42:01.900 --> 00:42:02.800
 about Jesus

00:42:02.800 --> 00:42:04.200
 but never truly

00:42:04.200 --> 00:42:05.240
 follow him

00:42:05.240 --> 00:42:06.500
 they're not

00:42:06.500 --> 00:42:07.059
 disciples

00:42:07.059 --> 00:42:07.840
 of him

00:42:07.840 --> 00:42:08.800
 they're not glad

00:42:08.800 --> 00:42:09.579
 to receive

00:42:09.579 --> 00:42:11.039
 what he has said

00:42:11.039 --> 00:42:11.619
 by faith

00:42:11.619 --> 00:42:13.119
 and those people

00:42:13.119 --> 00:42:13.740
 are condemned

00:42:13.740 --> 00:42:14.500
 already

00:42:14.500 --> 00:42:16.579
 in this moment

00:42:16.579 --> 00:42:18.579
 they stand condemned

00:42:18.579 --> 00:42:21.679
 and the only hope

00:42:21.679 --> 00:42:22.679
 that any of us have

00:42:22.679 --> 00:42:25.059
 is the wonderful grace

00:42:25.059 --> 00:42:26.279
 of Jesus

00:42:26.280 --> 00:42:30.180
 asNINGNING

00:42:30.180 --> 00:42:31.580
 as

00:42:31.580 --> 00:42:31.580
