00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.240
 Very good to see you all back with us here this morning. Please take out your copy of God's Word, which I hope you have with you.

00:00:05.240 --> 00:00:06.240
!

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:36.299
 Come this morning and enjoy each other's company and see Jesus Christ exalted you.

00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:40.740
 Praise God for what has been happening amongst us in these past years.

00:00:41.359 --> 00:00:53.460
 Also in that six-year time, there has never been a Sunday where Wes wakes up early that morning and is just too sick to be here and to sing.

00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:55.820
 It's happened to me a number of times concerning preaching.

00:00:55.820 --> 00:01:01.060
 It's never happened to Wes concerning music, but we've talked about what we would do if that ever were the case.

00:01:01.219 --> 00:01:04.719
 You know, Wes vomiting on a Sunday morning. What would we do?

00:01:05.140 --> 00:01:10.120
 And I said, my hope is an encouragement to a don't worry about it.

00:01:10.140 --> 00:01:13.859
 If that ever happens, we've got a plan B. There's something we could do.

00:01:13.939 --> 00:01:20.060
 And my solution is to do what all the preachers of old did, and I'd just get up and lead you a cappella in a couple of songs.

00:01:20.060 --> 00:01:25.900
 I believe that Wes has taken that more as a threat than an encouragement to him.

00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:31.640
 And so he always manages somehow to get here, and when he can't sing, to find somebody who can fill in for him.

00:01:31.719 --> 00:01:36.640
 And so I appreciate you guys for filling in, Reese and Patrick this morning, and helping out.

00:01:37.140 --> 00:01:38.700
 Phillip, excuse me, in that way.

00:01:40.700 --> 00:01:43.700
 Sometimes my mouth gets ahead of my brain on Sunday mornings.

00:01:43.700 --> 00:01:49.719
 This morning we're going to look together at Mark chapter 14, verses 12 through 25.

00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:53.859
 I'm going to read through 26, but we'll look at 12 through 25 together.

00:01:53.939 --> 00:01:55.900
 So please join me in reading God's Word.

00:01:56.700 --> 00:02:01.500
 And on the first day of unleavened bread, when they sacrificed the Passover lamb,

00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:03.400
 his disciples said to him,

00:02:03.980 --> 00:02:06.700
 Where will you have us go and prepare for you to eat the Passover?

00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:09.599
 And he sent two of his disciples and said to them,

00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:12.539
 Go into the city, and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you.

00:02:12.939 --> 00:02:13.520
 Follow him.

00:02:13.699 --> 00:02:16.179
 And wherever he enters, say to the master of the house,

00:02:16.659 --> 00:02:17.659
 The teacher says,

00:02:18.179 --> 00:02:21.659
 Where is my guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?

00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:26.639
 And he will show you a large upper room, furnished and ready, there prepare for us.

00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:29.159
 And the disciples set out and went to the city,

00:02:29.219 --> 00:02:32.280
 and found it just as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover.

00:02:33.199 --> 00:02:35.000
 And when it was evening, he came with the twelve,

00:02:35.079 --> 00:02:37.560
 and as they were reclining at table and eating, Jesus said,

00:02:38.179 --> 00:02:42.500
 Truly I say to you, one of you will betray me, one who is eating with me.

00:02:42.500 --> 00:02:46.419
 They began to be sorrowful and to say to him one after another,

00:02:46.419 --> 00:02:47.239
 Is it I?

00:02:47.799 --> 00:02:48.659
 He said to them,

00:02:48.899 --> 00:02:52.399
 It is one of the twelve, one who is dipping bread into the dish with me.

00:02:52.839 --> 00:02:55.319
 For the Son of Man goes as is written of him,

00:02:55.439 --> 00:02:58.419
 but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed.

00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:01.539
 It would have been better for that man if he had not been born.

00:03:01.539 --> 00:03:04.060
 And as they were eating, he took bread,

00:03:04.579 --> 00:03:07.280
 and after blessing it, broke it and gave it to them, and said,

00:03:07.620 --> 00:03:09.359
 Take, this is my body.

00:03:09.899 --> 00:03:11.919
 And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks,

00:03:11.959 --> 00:03:14.019
 he gave it to them, and they all drank of it.

00:03:14.399 --> 00:03:15.280
 And he said to them,

00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:18.439
 This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many.

00:03:19.239 --> 00:03:22.120
 Truly I say to you, I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine

00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:25.479
 until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.

00:03:26.060 --> 00:03:27.359
 And when they had sung a hymn,

00:03:27.979 --> 00:03:29.219
 they went out to the Mount of Olives.

00:03:29.219 --> 00:03:31.539
 This is God's word to us.

00:03:31.639 --> 00:03:34.639
 It was written for his glory and for our good.

00:03:35.099 --> 00:03:37.539
 We would all do well this morning to listen to it

00:03:37.539 --> 00:03:41.300
 in order to believe its promises and obey its commands.

00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:42.439
 Let's pray together.

00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:47.340
 Father God, we do praise you this morning

00:03:47.340 --> 00:03:49.599
 for the gathering of your church.

00:03:50.500 --> 00:03:52.439
 I thank you for every soul that is in this room

00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:56.159
 that you brought them here for a purpose this morning.

00:03:56.159 --> 00:04:00.039
 And as we seek out the mystery of that purpose,

00:04:00.180 --> 00:04:05.079
 as we long to know what it is you intend to do with us,

00:04:05.139 --> 00:04:09.620
 we thank you for your word that speaks with might and authority,

00:04:09.620 --> 00:04:12.400
 that has effect in our lives.

00:04:12.579 --> 00:04:16.500
 It is profitable for so many things.

00:04:16.500 --> 00:04:22.920
 And Father, there is no degree of preparation or study on my part

00:04:22.920 --> 00:04:26.199
 which makes this sermon of any value to anyone.

00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:30.560
 It is by your spirit that you work through my words

00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:32.500
 as I speak from your word.

00:04:33.220 --> 00:04:35.480
 So we would ask that you would do a miracle amongst us today,

00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:38.740
 a miracle in my speaking and a miracle in all of our hearing,

00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:42.860
 that you would take the activity of our minds and orient it properly,

00:04:42.860 --> 00:04:44.699
 that our hearts might be guided,

00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:47.420
 that we may be changed from one degree of glory to another,

00:04:47.500 --> 00:04:50.439
 that we may look more like Jesus Christ,

00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:52.460
 our hope and our Redeemer.

00:04:54.460 --> 00:04:56.500
 It is the great desire of this congregation

00:04:56.500 --> 00:04:59.840
 that he be exalted in all that we do this morning.

00:05:00.980 --> 00:05:03.639
 We ask that you would help us, enable us,

00:05:03.740 --> 00:05:05.379
 empower us to do this very thing.

00:05:06.199 --> 00:05:07.960
 And we pray this in the precious and holy

00:05:07.960 --> 00:05:09.280
 and high-lifted name of Christ.

00:05:10.360 --> 00:05:10.680
 Amen.

00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:10.819
 Amen.

00:05:12.860 --> 00:05:17.420
 Well, let me say to you that we're going to primarily deal with

00:05:17.420 --> 00:05:20.780
 verses 22 through 25 this morning,

00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:24.220
 the institution of the Lord's Supper.

00:05:24.420 --> 00:05:27.580
 But to make some comments for you in getting to that place,

00:05:27.620 --> 00:05:30.240
 I don't want to entirely neglect the verses before that,

00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:32.800
 but I believe that Mark is giving these things to us

00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:38.139
 to move us along to the major point of what's before us today.

00:05:38.139 --> 00:05:41.240
 And we see a number of prophecies.

00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:45.879
 One that's made and fulfilled in verses 12 through 16.

00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:49.340
 He tells the disciples how it is they are to find the room

00:05:49.340 --> 00:05:53.280
 in which they're going to have this very last Passover feast

00:05:53.280 --> 00:05:57.460
 and the very first Lord's Supper all at the same time.

00:05:57.800 --> 00:05:59.240
 We see it come to pass.

00:05:59.319 --> 00:06:00.699
 We see it come true.

00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:05.740
 Again, Mark speaking of the authority and the power of Jesus Christ.

00:06:05.740 --> 00:06:09.100
 And then in verses 17 through 21,

00:06:09.100 --> 00:06:11.800
 again, another prophecy made.

00:06:11.800 --> 00:06:15.420
 Not yet fulfilled, although we see a bit of a shadow of it

00:06:15.420 --> 00:06:18.819
 as we look back in chapter 14, verses 10 through 11,

00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:22.600
 that Judas has already gone and made plans to betray Jesus.

00:06:22.740 --> 00:06:25.600
 He has yet to actually do so.

00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:27.879
 But Jesus is very aware of the plan.

00:06:28.019 --> 00:06:31.480
 He knows the person who will do this very thing.

00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:36.520
 And this prophecy itself is soon to come to pass.

00:06:36.620 --> 00:06:42.759
 And so we get more efficacy to who Jesus is in his person

00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:45.660
 as we're led up to verse 22.

00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:50.540
 Now, to remind you where we are in the Passion Week,

00:06:50.540 --> 00:06:53.379
 it's this final week leading up to Jesus' crucifixion

00:06:53.379 --> 00:06:57.080
 at approximately 3 o'clock on Friday afternoon.

00:06:57.319 --> 00:07:01.939
 We have seen and continue to see this timeline of the Passion Week

00:07:01.939 --> 00:07:06.400
 as a beautiful expression of God's providence.

00:07:07.840 --> 00:07:10.680
 Many people celebrate and teach

00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:16.060
 that Jesus entered into Jerusalem on Sunday of the week.

00:07:16.120 --> 00:07:16.960
 And we have shown you,

00:07:17.020 --> 00:07:18.660
 and I won't take the time to do so this morning,

00:07:18.660 --> 00:07:21.720
 that it was, in fact, Monday that he did so.

00:07:21.840 --> 00:07:24.140
 Just as the Passover lambs are being chosen

00:07:24.140 --> 00:07:25.700
 and brought into Jerusalem,

00:07:25.700 --> 00:07:28.700
 the lamb who takes away the sins of the world,

00:07:28.900 --> 00:07:30.720
 who was chosen by God,

00:07:31.380 --> 00:07:32.380
 enters into Jerusalem.

00:07:33.200 --> 00:07:36.600
 On Tuesday, Jesus overturns the money changers' tables.

00:07:37.460 --> 00:07:40.200
 On Wednesday, Jesus deals with confrontations

00:07:40.200 --> 00:07:41.180
 from the religious leaders

00:07:41.180 --> 00:07:43.700
 and makes predictions about what the disciples

00:07:43.700 --> 00:07:46.120
 and we would encounter in future days.

00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:50.360
 Wednesday evening, Jesus is anointed by the woman in Bethany

00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:53.259
 and Judas plots to betray him.

00:07:54.420 --> 00:07:57.519
 Thursday, the disciples celebrate the Passover meal with Jesus

00:07:57.519 --> 00:08:00.600
 and he is later betrayed and arrested.

00:08:00.759 --> 00:08:04.399
 This is the evening we find ourselves in our text today.

00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:07.800
 Friday, as the Passover lambs are being slaughtered,

00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:08.860
 Jesus is crucified

00:08:08.860 --> 00:08:12.560
 so that one day we might join the chorus in heaven singing,

00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:14.840
 worthy is the Lamb who was slain

00:08:14.840 --> 00:08:18.060
 to receive power and wealth and wisdom

00:08:18.060 --> 00:08:22.740
 and might and honor and glory and blessing.

00:08:23.480 --> 00:08:27.400
 It's a picture that John sees in Revelation 5.12.

00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:30.259
 Saturday is a day of mourning,

00:08:30.379 --> 00:08:31.080
 but on Sunday,

00:08:31.580 --> 00:08:33.639
 the tomb that Jesus was buried in is found empty

00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:35.100
 and he has been raised from the dead.

00:08:35.100 --> 00:08:39.740
 He is alive so that we may have life.

00:08:41.180 --> 00:08:43.399
 Now, there becomes a bit of a question

00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:45.480
 about the day of the week

00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:47.600
 and as you get into this, chapter 14,

00:08:48.139 --> 00:08:49.620
 it gets a little bit complex

00:08:49.620 --> 00:08:52.220
 in trying to understand the very timeline

00:08:52.220 --> 00:08:53.779
 that Mark records for us.

00:08:54.960 --> 00:08:58.220
 Now, I spent a lot of time sorting out

00:08:58.220 --> 00:09:00.440
 and being sure of what I'm going to tell you,

00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:02.820
 the timeline that I spoke to you already

00:09:02.820 --> 00:09:04.220
 and what I'm about to say.

00:09:04.379 --> 00:09:06.020
 And let me just say that I'm going to leave

00:09:06.020 --> 00:09:07.560
 the cooking in the kitchen

00:09:07.560 --> 00:09:09.940
 and just tell you what it means.

00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:11.620
 If you'd like to talk about it further later,

00:09:11.700 --> 00:09:12.879
 I'd be happy to do so.

00:09:13.220 --> 00:09:14.760
 But for the sake of time this morning,

00:09:14.800 --> 00:09:17.320
 it's just really not that important

00:09:17.320 --> 00:09:18.960
 to get into it.

00:09:19.140 --> 00:09:21.020
 But you'll note, as I'm saying,

00:09:21.180 --> 00:09:23.160
 that the disciples are going to celebrate

00:09:23.160 --> 00:09:26.400
 the Passover meal on Thursday evening.

00:09:27.120 --> 00:09:29.820
 The rest of Jerusalem is going to celebrate it

00:09:29.820 --> 00:09:31.720
 on Friday evening.

00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:33.620
 And why is that?

00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:35.600
 Why is there seem to be a discrepancy here

00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:36.399
 in this case?

00:09:36.480 --> 00:09:38.100
 Some would say that Jesus just really wanted

00:09:38.100 --> 00:09:39.560
 to get that Passover meal in.

00:09:40.019 --> 00:09:41.879
 He knew he'd be dead by the time

00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:43.279
 other people were celebrating it.

00:09:43.379 --> 00:09:45.700
 But I've come to discover that

00:09:45.700 --> 00:09:48.259
 the disciples, being Galilean Jews,

00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:50.620
 they celebrated Passover meal

00:09:50.620 --> 00:09:52.540
 on Thursday evening,

00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:54.779
 which for them was Friday.

00:09:55.540 --> 00:09:57.920
 So it would have been Friday for them

00:09:57.920 --> 00:09:59.480
 rather than Saturday

00:09:59.480 --> 00:10:00.980
 when it was typically celebrated

00:10:00.980 --> 00:10:02.279
 by so many other Jews,

00:10:02.360 --> 00:10:03.080
 particularly the Jews

00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:04.100
 that would have resided

00:10:04.100 --> 00:10:06.519
 in and around Jerusalem.

00:10:07.220 --> 00:10:07.340
 Right?

00:10:07.580 --> 00:10:09.820
 So this is the discrepancy settled

00:10:09.820 --> 00:10:11.100
 in that way.

00:10:12.060 --> 00:10:15.740
 This is, for Jesus and the disciples,

00:10:16.460 --> 00:10:18.360
 the last Passover

00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:22.259
 and the first Lord's Supper.

00:10:22.259 --> 00:10:24.259
 And it should be observed by us

00:10:24.259 --> 00:10:26.620
 as well as the last Passover

00:10:26.620 --> 00:10:28.059
 and the first Lord's Supper.

00:10:28.819 --> 00:10:30.539
 The Passover meal was to serve

00:10:30.539 --> 00:10:33.000
 as a reminder of God's protection

00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:35.059
 as the angel of death

00:10:35.059 --> 00:10:36.700
 inflicted the Egyptian people

00:10:36.700 --> 00:10:40.340
 and the Israelites' subsequent delivery

00:10:40.340 --> 00:10:42.539
 from bondage to the Egyptians.

00:10:42.700 --> 00:10:43.819
 Do you recall the story

00:10:43.819 --> 00:10:47.240
 at the forefront of the book of Exodus?

00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:49.399
 And Moses goes back and asks

00:10:49.399 --> 00:10:50.620
 that God's people be set free

00:10:50.620 --> 00:10:51.340
 from bondage,

00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:52.419
 which is meant to symbolize

00:10:52.419 --> 00:10:53.440
 the bondage that we are under

00:10:53.440 --> 00:10:53.980
 to sin.

00:10:54.539 --> 00:10:56.600
 And Pharaoh refuses to do so.

00:10:56.659 --> 00:10:58.620
 And so God brings upon him

00:10:58.620 --> 00:11:00.340
 these ten different plagues.

00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:02.120
 And this is the tenth and final

00:11:02.120 --> 00:11:03.379
 that the angel of death came

00:11:03.379 --> 00:11:04.399
 and killed the firstborn

00:11:04.399 --> 00:11:05.639
 of all the Egyptians.

00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:07.600
 But the Israelites were commanded

00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:10.100
 to kill a spotless lamb,

00:11:10.259 --> 00:11:11.399
 to take its blood,

00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:13.440
 to spread it over the doorposts,

00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:14.659
 over the top of the door,

00:11:14.659 --> 00:11:17.700
 so that the angel would pass over.

00:11:17.700 --> 00:11:19.740
 They were later told

00:11:19.740 --> 00:11:21.360
 in Exodus chapter 12

00:11:21.360 --> 00:11:23.920
 to observe the Passover meal

00:11:23.920 --> 00:11:26.360
 in remembrance of this thing

00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:28.160
 that God had done for them.

00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:29.320
 And I want you to see this with me.

00:11:29.379 --> 00:11:31.700
 So turn to Exodus 12, verse 21.

00:11:31.700 --> 00:11:46.980
 Genesis, Exodus,

00:11:47.160 --> 00:11:48.120
 the second book in your Bible,

00:11:48.379 --> 00:11:51.580
 beginning in verse 21.

00:11:51.580 --> 00:11:54.160
 Then Moses called all the elders of Israel

00:11:54.160 --> 00:11:55.200
 and said to them,

00:11:55.440 --> 00:11:57.720
 Go and select lambs for yourselves

00:11:57.720 --> 00:11:58.820
 according to your clans

00:11:58.820 --> 00:12:01.200
 and kill the Passover lamb.

00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:02.840
 Take a bunch of hyssop

00:12:02.840 --> 00:12:03.480
 and dip it in blood

00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:04.100
 that is in the basin

00:12:04.100 --> 00:12:05.020
 and touch the lentil

00:12:05.020 --> 00:12:05.960
 and the two doorposts

00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:07.000
 with the blood that is in the basin.

00:12:07.760 --> 00:12:08.560
 None of you shall go out

00:12:08.560 --> 00:12:09.260
 of the door of his house

00:12:09.260 --> 00:12:09.760
 until morning,

00:12:09.820 --> 00:12:10.879
 for the Lord will pass through

00:12:10.879 --> 00:12:11.879
 to strike the Egyptians.

00:12:12.440 --> 00:12:13.600
 And when he sees the blood

00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:14.140
 on the lentil

00:12:14.140 --> 00:12:15.120
 and on the two doorposts,

00:12:15.160 --> 00:12:16.360
 the Lord will pass over the door

00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:18.040
 and will not allow the destroyer

00:12:18.040 --> 00:12:19.180
 to enter your houses

00:12:19.180 --> 00:12:20.040
 to strike you.

00:12:20.280 --> 00:12:20.940
 Verse 24,

00:12:21.060 --> 00:12:21.860
 if you need to catch up.

00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:23.680
 You shall observe this rite

00:12:23.680 --> 00:12:24.940
 as a statute for you

00:12:24.940 --> 00:12:27.740
 and for your sons forever.

00:12:27.740 --> 00:12:29.320
 And when you come to the land

00:12:29.320 --> 00:12:30.159
 the Lord will give you

00:12:30.159 --> 00:12:30.940
 as he has promised,

00:12:31.039 --> 00:12:32.360
 you shall keep this service.

00:12:32.799 --> 00:12:34.200
 And when your children say to you,

00:12:34.299 --> 00:12:35.860
 what do you mean by this service?

00:12:35.919 --> 00:12:36.779
 You shall say,

00:12:37.279 --> 00:12:38.080
 it is the sacrifice

00:12:38.080 --> 00:12:39.379
 of the Lord's Passover.

00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:41.060
 For he passed over the house

00:12:41.060 --> 00:12:42.360
 of the people of Israel in Egypt

00:12:42.360 --> 00:12:43.779
 when he struck the Egyptians

00:12:43.779 --> 00:12:45.480
 but spared our houses.

00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:47.960
 And the people bowed their heads

00:12:47.960 --> 00:12:49.340
 and worshipped.

00:12:50.019 --> 00:12:51.500
 So not only were they to do this act,

00:12:51.539 --> 00:12:52.519
 but they were to continue

00:12:52.519 --> 00:12:54.799
 to celebrate the sacrifice

00:12:54.799 --> 00:12:55.939
 of the Passover lamb

00:12:55.939 --> 00:12:57.919
 in times to come

00:12:57.919 --> 00:12:59.059
 that they might remind

00:12:59.059 --> 00:13:00.859
 their children and themselves

00:13:00.859 --> 00:13:02.620
 what it was that the Lord

00:13:02.620 --> 00:13:04.159
 had done on their behalf.

00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:07.019
 But we now,

00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:08.379
 with fuller revelation,

00:13:09.059 --> 00:13:10.299
 having now the scriptures

00:13:10.299 --> 00:13:11.519
 in their entirety,

00:13:12.179 --> 00:13:13.259
 see that it was ultimately

00:13:13.259 --> 00:13:14.120
 meant to serve

00:13:14.120 --> 00:13:16.779
 as a shadow of a thing

00:13:16.779 --> 00:13:18.779
 yet to come.

00:13:19.179 --> 00:13:20.439
 I've talked to you extensively

00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:21.900
 about types.

00:13:22.860 --> 00:13:24.280
 The Passover lamb

00:13:24.280 --> 00:13:26.560
 is a type for Christ

00:13:26.560 --> 00:13:27.920
 meant to show us

00:13:27.920 --> 00:13:29.340
 the greater thing,

00:13:29.420 --> 00:13:30.000
 what would be called

00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:31.400
 the anti-type.

00:13:32.020 --> 00:13:33.800
 The greater realization

00:13:33.800 --> 00:13:35.240
 of the thing,

00:13:35.340 --> 00:13:36.580
 the symbol that's meant

00:13:36.580 --> 00:13:38.360
 to show us the greater thing.

00:13:38.440 --> 00:13:40.240
 It's a shadow of the reality

00:13:40.240 --> 00:13:41.440
 that is to come.

00:13:41.560 --> 00:13:42.260
 The Christ,

00:13:42.760 --> 00:13:45.120
 the final Passover lamb.

00:13:46.280 --> 00:13:47.240
 This is told to us

00:13:47.240 --> 00:13:47.860
 a number of places

00:13:47.860 --> 00:13:48.720
 in the New Testament.

00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:50.920
 Peter expresses this reality

00:13:50.920 --> 00:13:52.160
 in 1 Peter 1,

00:13:52.759 --> 00:13:54.139
 verses 18 and 19.

00:13:55.160 --> 00:13:56.200
 Knowing that you

00:13:56.200 --> 00:13:57.220
 were ransomed

00:13:57.220 --> 00:13:58.360
 from the futile ways

00:13:58.360 --> 00:13:59.960
 inherited from your forefathers,

00:14:00.360 --> 00:14:02.240
 not with perishable things

00:14:02.240 --> 00:14:03.500
 such as silver or gold,

00:14:03.660 --> 00:14:05.860
 but with the precious blood

00:14:05.860 --> 00:14:06.740
 of Christ,

00:14:07.180 --> 00:14:08.420
 like that of a lamb

00:14:08.420 --> 00:14:09.840
 without blemish

00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:11.300
 or spot.

00:14:12.139 --> 00:14:14.000
 Paul says in 1 Corinthians 5,

00:14:14.080 --> 00:14:14.519
 7,

00:14:14.639 --> 00:14:15.399
 for Christ,

00:14:15.740 --> 00:14:17.340
 our Passover lamb,

00:14:17.340 --> 00:14:19.320
 has been sacrificed.

00:14:20.420 --> 00:14:21.139
 John the Baptist

00:14:21.139 --> 00:14:22.000
 calls Jesus

00:14:22.000 --> 00:14:22.899
 the Lamb of God

00:14:22.899 --> 00:14:24.379
 in John 1, 29,

00:14:24.860 --> 00:14:25.759
 and verse 36.

00:14:27.259 --> 00:14:28.759
 It's implicitly taught

00:14:28.759 --> 00:14:30.340
 in John's Gospel account

00:14:30.340 --> 00:14:31.700
 in John 19,

00:14:32.080 --> 00:14:33.740
 32-36,

00:14:34.220 --> 00:14:34.879
 because

00:14:34.879 --> 00:14:37.680
 we find in Exodus 12, 46

00:14:37.680 --> 00:14:38.660
 that when the lamb

00:14:38.660 --> 00:14:40.320
 was roasted and eaten,

00:14:40.840 --> 00:14:41.680
 none of its bones

00:14:41.680 --> 00:14:42.280
 were to be broken.

00:14:42.379 --> 00:14:43.420
 This is a commandment

00:14:43.420 --> 00:14:44.580
 given to the Israelite people.

00:14:44.580 --> 00:14:45.440
 They were not meant

00:14:45.440 --> 00:14:46.540
 to break the bones

00:14:46.540 --> 00:14:48.639
 of the Passover lamb.

00:14:49.460 --> 00:14:50.900
 It was customary

00:14:50.900 --> 00:14:52.759
 during execution

00:14:52.759 --> 00:14:53.780
 by crucifixion

00:14:53.780 --> 00:14:55.220
 to break the legs

00:14:55.220 --> 00:14:56.540
 of the prisoners.

00:14:56.960 --> 00:14:57.520
 They were given

00:14:57.520 --> 00:14:58.379
 a little block of wood

00:14:58.379 --> 00:14:59.060
 to stand on

00:14:59.060 --> 00:14:59.980
 and they could push up

00:14:59.980 --> 00:15:00.580
 on that

00:15:00.580 --> 00:15:02.600
 and slow down

00:15:02.600 --> 00:15:03.500
 asphyxiation

00:15:03.500 --> 00:15:04.220
 by the weight

00:15:04.220 --> 00:15:05.080
 of their own body

00:15:05.080 --> 00:15:06.540
 and often

00:15:06.540 --> 00:15:07.740
 to speed along

00:15:07.740 --> 00:15:08.700
 the process,

00:15:09.060 --> 00:15:09.840
 their legs would be broken

00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:10.820
 so they could no longer

00:15:10.820 --> 00:15:11.680
 push up.

00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:12.159
 In fact,

00:15:12.459 --> 00:15:13.739
 both of the prisoners

00:15:13.739 --> 00:15:14.339
 that were hanging

00:15:14.339 --> 00:15:15.099
 on Jesus' left

00:15:15.099 --> 00:15:15.779
 and right legs

00:15:15.779 --> 00:15:16.259
 were broken,

00:15:16.379 --> 00:15:18.599
 but his were not.

00:15:19.139 --> 00:15:20.199
 He was already dead.

00:15:21.500 --> 00:15:22.739
 It's implicitly taught

00:15:22.739 --> 00:15:23.959
 there to us in John.

00:15:24.139 --> 00:15:28.319
 Jesus is the Passover lamb.

00:15:29.699 --> 00:15:31.099
 So this we find

00:15:31.099 --> 00:15:33.879
 is the final Passover.

00:15:34.099 --> 00:15:35.059
 We don't celebrate

00:15:35.059 --> 00:15:35.919
 the Passover meal

00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:36.539
 any longer

00:15:36.539 --> 00:15:37.740
 as those who are

00:15:37.740 --> 00:15:38.799
 followers of Christ.

00:15:39.299 --> 00:15:40.319
 Certainly we can celebrate

00:15:40.320 --> 00:15:42.360
 the event of the Passover,

00:15:42.720 --> 00:15:43.280
 the deliverance

00:15:43.280 --> 00:15:44.100
 of God's people,

00:15:44.480 --> 00:15:45.280
 what it means

00:15:45.280 --> 00:15:46.200
 and its final

00:15:46.200 --> 00:15:47.200
 and full fulfillment

00:15:47.200 --> 00:15:48.500
 in Jesus Christ.

00:15:48.580 --> 00:15:49.260
 But we no longer

00:15:49.260 --> 00:15:49.879
 sit down

00:15:49.879 --> 00:15:52.260
 and have the Passover meal.

00:15:52.460 --> 00:15:54.020
 But we do have

00:15:54.020 --> 00:15:56.320
 the First Lord's Supper.

00:15:56.740 --> 00:15:57.440
 We have that

00:15:57.440 --> 00:15:58.379
 and we continue that

00:15:58.379 --> 00:15:59.540
 and we celebrate that

00:15:59.540 --> 00:16:00.420
 because it is

00:16:00.420 --> 00:16:01.020
 the fulfillment

00:16:01.020 --> 00:16:02.480
 of what the Passover meal

00:16:02.480 --> 00:16:03.400
 was meant

00:16:03.400 --> 00:16:04.960
 to teach us.

00:16:05.600 --> 00:16:06.700
 So let's read together

00:16:06.700 --> 00:16:07.960
 verses 22

00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:09.519
 through 25

00:16:09.519 --> 00:16:10.360
 once again.

00:16:10.360 --> 00:16:11.800
 And as they were eating,

00:16:11.940 --> 00:16:12.620
 He took bread

00:16:12.620 --> 00:16:14.220
 and after blessing it,

00:16:14.280 --> 00:16:14.780
 broke it

00:16:14.780 --> 00:16:15.800
 and gave it to them

00:16:15.800 --> 00:16:16.440
 and said,

00:16:16.960 --> 00:16:17.460
 Take,

00:16:17.780 --> 00:16:18.840
 this is my body.

00:16:19.460 --> 00:16:20.639
 And He took a cup

00:16:20.639 --> 00:16:21.600
 and when He had given thanks,

00:16:21.660 --> 00:16:22.560
 He gave it to them

00:16:22.560 --> 00:16:24.100
 and they all drank of it.

00:16:24.759 --> 00:16:25.660
 And He said to them,

00:16:25.879 --> 00:16:27.480
 This is my blood

00:16:27.480 --> 00:16:28.320
 of the covenant

00:16:28.320 --> 00:16:29.360
 which is poured out

00:16:29.360 --> 00:16:30.320
 for many.

00:16:31.060 --> 00:16:31.879
 Truly I say to you,

00:16:31.900 --> 00:16:32.700
 I will not drink again

00:16:32.700 --> 00:16:33.500
 of the fruit of the vine

00:16:33.500 --> 00:16:34.060
 until the day

00:16:34.060 --> 00:16:35.180
 when I drink it new

00:16:35.179 --> 00:16:38.439
 in the kingdom of God.

00:16:39.639 --> 00:16:40.799
 And so this ordinance

00:16:40.799 --> 00:16:41.979
 of the Lord's Supper

00:16:41.979 --> 00:16:43.539
 or an ordinance

00:16:43.539 --> 00:16:45.079
 as an authoritative order

00:16:45.079 --> 00:16:46.819
 or a decree

00:16:46.819 --> 00:16:49.239
 began and is continued

00:16:49.239 --> 00:16:51.679
 in our congregational gatherings

00:16:51.679 --> 00:16:53.339
 because of what it means

00:16:53.339 --> 00:16:55.459
 now for us.

00:16:56.759 --> 00:16:58.719
 The hope would have been

00:16:58.719 --> 00:17:00.839
 for all of the spectators,

00:17:00.959 --> 00:17:01.799
 all of the people

00:17:01.799 --> 00:17:03.779
 that saw what happened

00:17:03.779 --> 00:17:05.379
 on the cross that day

00:17:05.379 --> 00:17:06.420
 that they would have understood

00:17:06.420 --> 00:17:08.899
 Jesus to be the Passover Lamb.

00:17:09.960 --> 00:17:12.599
 He is our Passover Lamb.

00:17:13.059 --> 00:17:14.059
 He is the ultimate

00:17:14.059 --> 00:17:15.740
 and final sacrifice.

00:17:16.339 --> 00:17:18.259
 And this is to be the focus

00:17:18.259 --> 00:17:19.639
 of the Lord's Supper.

00:17:19.819 --> 00:17:20.879
 It's the object

00:17:20.879 --> 00:17:22.299
 that we set our attention

00:17:22.299 --> 00:17:23.980
 and our affection on

00:17:23.980 --> 00:17:25.259
 when we take the Lord's Supper

00:17:25.259 --> 00:17:26.139
 together.

00:17:26.259 --> 00:17:27.359
 It's that remembering

00:17:27.359 --> 00:17:28.160
 the person

00:17:28.160 --> 00:17:29.119
 and the work

00:17:29.119 --> 00:17:30.480
 of Jesus Christ.

00:17:30.480 --> 00:17:30.599
 Christ.

00:17:31.839 --> 00:17:32.799
 No doctrine

00:17:32.799 --> 00:17:33.819
 stays alive

00:17:33.819 --> 00:17:35.039
 in the mind

00:17:35.039 --> 00:17:35.920
 by itself.

00:17:36.019 --> 00:17:37.220
 It has to be fed.

00:17:37.539 --> 00:17:38.700
 We have to remember

00:17:38.700 --> 00:17:40.180
 the work of Christ

00:17:40.180 --> 00:17:41.400
 on our behalf.

00:17:42.120 --> 00:17:42.740
 So this morning

00:17:42.740 --> 00:17:43.380
 I want to

00:17:43.380 --> 00:17:44.579
 tell you

00:17:44.579 --> 00:17:45.779
 three specific ways.

00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:47.079
 I'm sure there are more

00:17:47.079 --> 00:17:48.299
 categorically

00:17:48.299 --> 00:17:49.599
 likely

00:17:49.599 --> 00:17:51.460
 I think that these are good

00:17:51.460 --> 00:17:52.819
 three specific ways

00:17:52.819 --> 00:17:53.500
 that we can

00:17:53.500 --> 00:17:55.079
 wrap our minds around

00:17:55.079 --> 00:17:56.180
 and remember

00:17:56.180 --> 00:17:56.880
 what we're meant

00:17:56.880 --> 00:17:57.480
 to remember

00:17:57.480 --> 00:17:58.900
 as we take the Lord's Supper

00:17:58.900 --> 00:18:00.080
 together each and every

00:18:00.080 --> 00:18:01.040
 Lord's Day

00:18:01.040 --> 00:18:01.880
 when we meet

00:18:01.880 --> 00:18:02.660
 as a congregation.

00:18:03.320 --> 00:18:04.060
 So three things

00:18:04.060 --> 00:18:05.060
 when we celebrate

00:18:05.060 --> 00:18:05.600
 the Lord's Supper

00:18:05.600 --> 00:18:06.320
 we remember

00:18:06.320 --> 00:18:07.120
 number one

00:18:07.120 --> 00:18:09.420
 Christ's death.

00:18:10.280 --> 00:18:10.860
 Number one

00:18:10.860 --> 00:18:11.560
 Christ's death.

00:18:14.259 --> 00:18:15.640
 The symbols themselves

00:18:15.640 --> 00:18:16.259
 are pictures

00:18:16.259 --> 00:18:18.180
 of His body broken

00:18:18.180 --> 00:18:19.680
 and His blood

00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:20.740
 poured out.

00:18:21.700 --> 00:18:22.080
 Paul writes

00:18:22.080 --> 00:18:22.700
 in 1 Corinthians

00:18:22.700 --> 00:18:23.460
 chapter 11

00:18:23.460 --> 00:18:24.940
 verse 23

00:18:24.940 --> 00:18:25.820
 and 26

00:18:25.820 --> 00:18:26.880
 you should turn there

00:18:26.880 --> 00:18:27.720
 we won't need Mark

00:18:27.720 --> 00:18:28.259
 any longer.

00:18:28.400 --> 00:18:29.059
 So why don't you turn

00:18:29.059 --> 00:18:30.079
 with me to 1 Corinthians

00:18:30.079 --> 00:18:30.819
 chapter 11.

00:18:46.759 --> 00:18:47.740
 Here we find

00:18:47.740 --> 00:18:48.920
 Paul's account

00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:49.940
 of what Jesus

00:18:49.940 --> 00:18:50.960
 said

00:18:50.960 --> 00:18:52.960
 when He instituted

00:18:52.960 --> 00:18:53.620
 the ordinance

00:18:53.620 --> 00:18:54.380
 of the Lord's Supper

00:18:54.380 --> 00:18:55.559
 on this very night.

00:18:55.559 --> 00:18:57.220
 1 Corinthians

00:18:57.220 --> 00:18:57.700
 chapter 11

00:18:57.700 --> 00:18:58.720
 beginning in verse 23

00:18:58.720 --> 00:19:00.619
 For I

00:19:00.619 --> 00:19:01.319
 being Paul

00:19:01.319 --> 00:19:02.399
 received from the Lord

00:19:02.399 --> 00:19:03.200
 what I also

00:19:03.200 --> 00:19:04.379
 delivered to you

00:19:04.379 --> 00:19:05.480
 the Corinthian believers

00:19:05.480 --> 00:19:06.259
 the Lord Jesus

00:19:06.259 --> 00:19:07.179
 on the night

00:19:07.179 --> 00:19:07.940
 when He was betrayed

00:19:07.940 --> 00:19:09.119
 took bread

00:19:09.119 --> 00:19:10.279
 and when He had given

00:19:10.279 --> 00:19:11.179
 thanks He broke it

00:19:11.179 --> 00:19:11.700
 and said

00:19:11.700 --> 00:19:13.000
 this is my body

00:19:13.000 --> 00:19:14.319
 which is for you

00:19:14.319 --> 00:19:15.819
 do this

00:19:15.819 --> 00:19:16.579
 in remembrance

00:19:16.579 --> 00:19:18.099
 of me.

00:19:18.899 --> 00:19:19.679
 In the same way

00:19:19.679 --> 00:19:20.500
 He also took the cup

00:19:20.500 --> 00:19:20.980
 after supper

00:19:20.980 --> 00:19:21.339
 saying

00:19:21.339 --> 00:19:21.980
 this cup

00:19:21.980 --> 00:19:23.000
 is the new covenant

00:19:23.000 --> 00:19:23.659
 in my blood

00:19:23.660 --> 00:19:25.259
 do this

00:19:25.259 --> 00:19:26.180
 as often

00:19:26.180 --> 00:19:26.740
 as you drink

00:19:26.740 --> 00:19:26.980
 it

00:19:26.980 --> 00:19:27.759
 in remembrance

00:19:27.759 --> 00:19:29.259
 of me.

00:19:29.920 --> 00:19:30.560
 For as often

00:19:30.560 --> 00:19:31.100
 as you eat

00:19:31.100 --> 00:19:31.720
 this bread

00:19:31.720 --> 00:19:32.600
 and drink

00:19:32.600 --> 00:19:33.240
 the cup

00:19:33.240 --> 00:19:34.340
 you proclaim

00:19:34.340 --> 00:19:36.140
 the Lord's death

00:19:36.140 --> 00:19:38.080
 until He comes.

00:19:38.940 --> 00:19:39.779
 So Paul gives us

00:19:39.779 --> 00:19:40.340
 a little more

00:19:40.340 --> 00:19:41.500
 description

00:19:41.500 --> 00:19:42.860
 than Mark does.

00:19:42.940 --> 00:19:43.160
 In fact

00:19:43.160 --> 00:19:43.740
 Paul's account

00:19:43.740 --> 00:19:44.400
 is a little more

00:19:44.400 --> 00:19:45.240
 close to the

00:19:45.240 --> 00:19:45.860
 Lucan account

00:19:45.860 --> 00:19:47.080
 of what was said

00:19:47.080 --> 00:19:47.900
 by Jesus.

00:19:48.040 --> 00:19:48.519
 We're meant

00:19:48.519 --> 00:19:49.220
 to do this

00:19:49.220 --> 00:19:50.000
 very thing

00:19:50.000 --> 00:19:51.000
 to remember

00:19:51.000 --> 00:19:51.660
 Christ

00:19:51.660 --> 00:19:52.779
 and specifically

00:19:52.779 --> 00:19:53.620
 as Paul tells us

00:19:53.620 --> 00:19:54.480
 in verse 26

00:19:54.480 --> 00:19:56.560
 the Lord's death.

00:19:57.220 --> 00:19:57.800
 To remember

00:19:57.800 --> 00:19:59.120
 what He did

00:19:59.120 --> 00:20:01.060
 on our behalf.

00:20:01.180 --> 00:20:02.500
 The ultimate sacrifice

00:20:02.500 --> 00:20:04.060
 paid for us.

00:20:04.380 --> 00:20:04.940
 We had an

00:20:04.940 --> 00:20:06.240
 infinite debt

00:20:06.240 --> 00:20:06.720
 of sin

00:20:06.720 --> 00:20:07.400
 against an

00:20:07.400 --> 00:20:08.240
 infinite God

00:20:08.240 --> 00:20:08.940
 and therefore

00:20:08.940 --> 00:20:10.680
 the sacrifice

00:20:10.680 --> 00:20:12.500
 must have been

00:20:12.500 --> 00:20:13.340
 infinite

00:20:13.340 --> 00:20:14.300
 and we celebrate

00:20:14.300 --> 00:20:15.160
 that together

00:20:15.160 --> 00:20:16.440
 every time

00:20:16.440 --> 00:20:17.440
 we take the Lord's

00:20:17.440 --> 00:20:17.680
 Supper

00:20:17.680 --> 00:20:19.160
 rightly together.

00:20:20.440 --> 00:20:20.960
 Secondly,

00:20:20.960 --> 00:20:22.460
 when we celebrate

00:20:22.460 --> 00:20:23.079
 the Lord's Supper

00:20:23.079 --> 00:20:23.799
 we remember

00:20:23.799 --> 00:20:25.380
 our participation

00:20:25.380 --> 00:20:26.860
 in the benefits

00:20:26.860 --> 00:20:28.579
 of Christ's death.

00:20:29.140 --> 00:20:30.299
 Our participation

00:20:30.299 --> 00:20:31.500
 in the benefits

00:20:31.500 --> 00:20:33.240
 of Christ's death.

00:20:33.460 --> 00:20:34.200
 Now

00:20:34.200 --> 00:20:36.079
 and forever.

00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:37.900
 Now

00:20:37.900 --> 00:20:39.000
 we have

00:20:39.000 --> 00:20:40.100
 spiritual

00:20:40.100 --> 00:20:41.039
 life

00:20:41.039 --> 00:20:42.180
 in Christ

00:20:42.180 --> 00:20:42.759
 because of His

00:20:42.759 --> 00:20:43.220
 person

00:20:43.220 --> 00:20:44.640
 and His work.

00:20:45.039 --> 00:20:45.740
 Turn to John

00:20:45.740 --> 00:20:46.440
 chapter 6.

00:20:49.079 --> 00:20:49.799
 Someone's getting

00:20:49.799 --> 00:20:50.319
 directions to our

00:20:50.319 --> 00:20:50.579
 building.

00:20:50.960 --> 00:20:53.860
 You're here.

00:20:57.440 --> 00:20:58.360
 John chapter 6

00:20:58.360 --> 00:20:59.200
 verse 53

00:20:59.200 --> 00:21:01.840
 So Jesus

00:21:01.840 --> 00:21:02.539
 said to them

00:21:02.539 --> 00:21:04.720
 Truly, truly

00:21:04.720 --> 00:21:05.360
 I say to you

00:21:05.360 --> 00:21:05.940
 unless you eat

00:21:05.940 --> 00:21:06.579
 the flesh of the

00:21:06.579 --> 00:21:07.019
 Son of Man

00:21:07.019 --> 00:21:07.600
 and drink His

00:21:07.600 --> 00:21:07.940
 blood

00:21:07.940 --> 00:21:08.779
 you have no

00:21:08.779 --> 00:21:09.799
 life in you.

00:21:10.740 --> 00:21:11.500
 Whoever feeds

00:21:11.500 --> 00:21:12.299
 on my flesh

00:21:12.299 --> 00:21:13.079
 and drinks

00:21:13.079 --> 00:21:13.819
 my blood

00:21:13.819 --> 00:21:14.900
 has eternal

00:21:14.900 --> 00:21:15.319
 life

00:21:15.319 --> 00:21:15.680
 and I will

00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:16.340
 raise him up

00:21:16.340 --> 00:21:16.840
 on the last

00:21:16.840 --> 00:21:17.220
 day.

00:21:18.039 --> 00:21:18.779
 For my flesh

00:21:18.779 --> 00:21:20.039
 is true food

00:21:20.039 --> 00:21:21.220
 and my blood

00:21:21.220 --> 00:21:21.940
 is true

00:21:21.940 --> 00:21:22.579
 drink.

00:21:23.440 --> 00:21:23.639
 Whoever

00:21:23.639 --> 00:21:24.399
 feeds on my

00:21:24.399 --> 00:21:24.899
 flesh and

00:21:24.899 --> 00:21:25.359
 drinks my

00:21:25.359 --> 00:21:26.240
 blood abides

00:21:26.240 --> 00:21:26.799
 in me

00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:27.659
 and I

00:21:27.659 --> 00:21:28.259
 in him.

00:21:28.899 --> 00:21:29.279
 As the

00:21:29.279 --> 00:21:29.759
 living Father

00:21:29.759 --> 00:21:30.299
 sent me

00:21:30.299 --> 00:21:31.000
 I live

00:21:31.000 --> 00:21:31.740
 because of

00:21:31.740 --> 00:21:32.220
 the Father

00:21:32.220 --> 00:21:33.139
 so whoever

00:21:33.139 --> 00:21:34.000
 feeds on

00:21:34.000 --> 00:21:34.319
 me

00:21:34.319 --> 00:21:35.379
 he also

00:21:35.379 --> 00:21:36.240
 will live

00:21:36.240 --> 00:21:37.039
 because

00:21:37.039 --> 00:21:38.700
 of me.

00:21:38.819 --> 00:21:39.180
 We have

00:21:39.180 --> 00:21:39.639
 our very

00:21:39.639 --> 00:21:40.480
 beginning in

00:21:40.480 --> 00:21:40.900
 Christ

00:21:40.900 --> 00:21:41.279
 and we

00:21:41.279 --> 00:21:41.940
 then have

00:21:41.940 --> 00:21:42.279
 our

00:21:42.279 --> 00:21:43.380
 sustenance

00:21:43.380 --> 00:21:43.640
 our

00:21:43.640 --> 00:21:44.500
 sustaining

00:21:44.500 --> 00:21:45.759
 in Christ

00:21:45.759 --> 00:21:47.079
 as well.

00:21:48.039 --> 00:21:48.240
 Now there

00:21:48.240 --> 00:21:48.620
 are two

00:21:48.620 --> 00:21:49.180
 ordinances

00:21:49.180 --> 00:21:49.480
 of the

00:21:49.480 --> 00:21:49.759
 Christian

00:21:49.759 --> 00:21:50.240
 church

00:21:50.240 --> 00:21:51.440
 and only

00:21:51.440 --> 00:21:51.880
 two

00:21:51.880 --> 00:21:52.460
 to be

00:21:52.460 --> 00:21:53.099
 very clear

00:21:53.099 --> 00:21:53.480
 on this

00:21:53.480 --> 00:21:53.860
 point.

00:21:54.360 --> 00:21:54.599
 We have

00:21:54.599 --> 00:21:55.299
 baptism

00:21:55.299 --> 00:21:56.480
 believers

00:21:56.480 --> 00:21:57.079
 baptism

00:21:57.079 --> 00:21:58.480
 and

00:21:58.480 --> 00:21:59.360
 the

00:21:59.360 --> 00:21:59.660
 Lord's

00:21:59.660 --> 00:21:59.860
 Supper.

00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:00.200
 So those

00:22:00.200 --> 00:22:00.480
 are two

00:22:00.480 --> 00:22:00.860
 believers

00:22:00.860 --> 00:22:01.259
 baptism

00:22:01.259 --> 00:22:01.900
 and

00:22:01.900 --> 00:22:02.860
 the

00:22:02.860 --> 00:22:03.140
 Lord's

00:22:03.140 --> 00:22:03.380
 Supper.

00:22:04.259 --> 00:22:04.680
 Baptism

00:22:04.680 --> 00:22:05.400
 signifies

00:22:05.400 --> 00:22:06.640
 new birth

00:22:06.640 --> 00:22:07.720
 and entrance

00:22:07.720 --> 00:22:08.680
 into the

00:22:08.680 --> 00:22:08.880
 covenant

00:22:08.880 --> 00:22:09.240
 community

00:22:09.240 --> 00:22:09.680
 of God.

00:22:09.799 --> 00:22:10.279
 The thing

00:22:10.279 --> 00:22:10.579
 that has

00:22:10.579 --> 00:22:11.000
 happened

00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:11.500
 in your

00:22:11.500 --> 00:22:11.960
 heart

00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:12.559
 by the

00:22:12.559 --> 00:22:12.759
 grace

00:22:12.759 --> 00:22:13.180
 of God.

00:22:13.259 --> 00:22:13.640
 It's a

00:22:13.640 --> 00:22:13.920
 symbol

00:22:13.920 --> 00:22:14.259
 of that.

00:22:14.359 --> 00:22:14.539
 It's a

00:22:14.539 --> 00:22:14.920
 picture

00:22:14.920 --> 00:22:15.319
 of what

00:22:15.319 --> 00:22:15.460
 has

00:22:15.460 --> 00:22:15.859
 happened.

00:22:16.039 --> 00:22:16.440
 Put to

00:22:16.440 --> 00:22:16.779
 death

00:22:16.779 --> 00:22:17.539
 and raised

00:22:17.539 --> 00:22:17.880
 to new

00:22:17.880 --> 00:22:18.299
 life.

00:22:19.019 --> 00:22:19.519
 The

00:22:19.519 --> 00:22:19.920
 Lord's

00:22:19.920 --> 00:22:20.240
 Supper

00:22:20.240 --> 00:22:21.059
 the

00:22:21.059 --> 00:22:21.599
 ongoing

00:22:21.599 --> 00:22:22.059
 practice

00:22:22.059 --> 00:22:22.519
 of it

00:22:22.519 --> 00:22:23.579
 signifies

00:22:23.579 --> 00:22:23.839
 the

00:22:23.839 --> 00:22:24.299
 spiritual

00:22:24.299 --> 00:22:24.839
 feeding

00:22:24.839 --> 00:22:25.220
 of that

00:22:25.220 --> 00:22:25.440
 new

00:22:25.440 --> 00:22:25.920
 life

00:22:25.920 --> 00:22:26.579
 and

00:22:26.579 --> 00:22:26.720
 the

00:22:26.720 --> 00:22:27.180
 continuing

00:22:27.180 --> 00:22:27.980
 relationship

00:22:27.980 --> 00:22:28.559
 with the

00:22:28.559 --> 00:22:28.799
 covenant

00:22:28.799 --> 00:22:29.339
 community

00:22:29.339 --> 00:22:30.579
 of God.

00:22:31.359 --> 00:22:31.700
 In

00:22:31.700 --> 00:22:32.059
 fact this

00:22:32.059 --> 00:22:32.359
 is where

00:22:32.359 --> 00:22:32.620
 the

00:22:32.620 --> 00:22:33.579
 term

00:22:33.579 --> 00:22:33.960
 the

00:22:33.960 --> 00:22:34.279
 coined

00:22:34.279 --> 00:22:34.720
 term

00:22:34.720 --> 00:22:35.620
 communion

00:22:35.620 --> 00:22:36.900
 actually

00:22:36.900 --> 00:22:37.299
 comes

00:22:37.299 --> 00:22:37.720
 from.

00:22:38.000 --> 00:22:38.500
 Augustine

00:22:38.500 --> 00:22:38.980
 coined

00:22:38.980 --> 00:22:39.460
 that term

00:22:39.460 --> 00:22:39.740
 and he

00:22:39.740 --> 00:22:40.039
 didn't

00:22:40.039 --> 00:22:40.360
 mean

00:22:40.360 --> 00:22:40.720
 that

00:22:40.720 --> 00:22:40.839
 we're

00:22:40.839 --> 00:22:41.240
 communing

00:22:41.240 --> 00:22:41.420
 with

00:22:41.420 --> 00:22:41.900
 Christ

00:22:41.900 --> 00:22:42.120
 he

00:22:42.120 --> 00:22:42.299
 meant

00:22:42.299 --> 00:22:42.420
 that

00:22:42.420 --> 00:22:42.539
 we're

00:22:42.539 --> 00:22:42.960
 communing

00:22:42.960 --> 00:22:43.180
 with

00:22:43.180 --> 00:22:43.680
 the

00:22:43.680 --> 00:22:44.380
 community

00:22:44.380 --> 00:22:45.279
 of God's

00:22:45.279 --> 00:22:45.620
 people.

00:22:45.620 --> 00:22:46.200
 That was

00:22:46.200 --> 00:22:46.579
 what he

00:22:46.579 --> 00:22:47.440
 meant by

00:22:47.440 --> 00:22:48.500
 that term

00:22:48.500 --> 00:22:49.460
 as so many

00:22:49.460 --> 00:22:49.860
 terms get

00:22:49.860 --> 00:22:50.339
 hijacked

00:22:50.339 --> 00:22:50.680
 this is

00:22:50.680 --> 00:22:51.019
 certainly

00:22:51.019 --> 00:22:52.220
 one of

00:22:52.220 --> 00:22:52.440
 them.

00:22:52.440 --> 00:22:53.860
 in a

00:22:53.860 --> 00:22:54.080
 sermon

00:22:54.080 --> 00:22:54.740
 entitled

00:22:54.740 --> 00:22:55.680
 fencing

00:22:55.680 --> 00:22:55.920
 the

00:22:55.920 --> 00:22:56.299
 table

00:22:56.299 --> 00:22:56.980
 by

00:22:56.980 --> 00:22:57.299
 Charles

00:22:57.299 --> 00:22:57.620
 Spurgeon

00:22:57.620 --> 00:22:57.820
 which

00:22:57.820 --> 00:22:57.920
 is

00:22:57.920 --> 00:22:58.059
 one

00:22:58.059 --> 00:22:58.180
 I

00:22:58.180 --> 00:22:58.340
 would

00:22:58.340 --> 00:22:59.100
 strongly

00:22:59.100 --> 00:22:59.460
 encourage

00:22:59.460 --> 00:22:59.600
 you

00:22:59.600 --> 00:22:59.840
 to go

00:22:59.840 --> 00:23:00.039
 read

00:23:00.039 --> 00:23:00.340
 at some

00:23:00.340 --> 00:23:00.620
 point

00:23:00.620 --> 00:23:00.920
 in your

00:23:00.920 --> 00:23:01.259
 life

00:23:01.259 --> 00:23:02.660
 he said

00:23:02.660 --> 00:23:03.660
 others

00:23:03.660 --> 00:23:04.360
 come to

00:23:04.360 --> 00:23:04.500
 the

00:23:04.500 --> 00:23:04.880
 communion

00:23:04.880 --> 00:23:05.759
 as a

00:23:05.759 --> 00:23:06.019
 piece

00:23:06.019 --> 00:23:06.200
 of

00:23:06.200 --> 00:23:06.640
 sheer

00:23:06.640 --> 00:23:07.700
 superstition

00:23:07.700 --> 00:23:08.900
 really

00:23:08.900 --> 00:23:09.519
 believing

00:23:09.519 --> 00:23:10.160
 poor

00:23:10.160 --> 00:23:10.940
 deluded

00:23:10.940 --> 00:23:11.420
 souls

00:23:11.420 --> 00:23:11.880
 that

00:23:11.880 --> 00:23:12.660
 when they

00:23:12.660 --> 00:23:12.980
 take

00:23:12.980 --> 00:23:13.180
 the

00:23:13.180 --> 00:23:13.440
 wafer

00:23:13.440 --> 00:23:13.640
 into

00:23:13.640 --> 00:23:13.799
 their

00:23:13.799 --> 00:23:14.039
 mouths

00:23:14.039 --> 00:23:14.240
 they

00:23:14.240 --> 00:23:14.820
 actually

00:23:14.820 --> 00:23:15.400
 eat

00:23:15.400 --> 00:23:15.720
 the

00:23:15.720 --> 00:23:16.120
 flesh

00:23:16.120 --> 00:23:16.140
!

00:23:16.140 --> 00:23:16.820
 of

00:23:16.820 --> 00:23:17.279
 Christ

00:23:17.279 --> 00:23:18.539
 I

00:23:18.539 --> 00:23:19.000
 love

00:23:19.000 --> 00:23:19.839
 Spurgeon

00:23:19.839 --> 00:23:20.079
 I'm

00:23:20.079 --> 00:23:20.220
 letting

00:23:20.220 --> 00:23:20.399
 him

00:23:20.399 --> 00:23:20.619
 say

00:23:20.619 --> 00:23:20.799
 it

00:23:20.799 --> 00:23:21.460
 for

00:23:21.460 --> 00:23:21.700
 me

00:23:21.700 --> 00:23:22.480
 such

00:23:22.480 --> 00:23:22.660
 a

00:23:22.660 --> 00:23:23.399
 monstrous

00:23:23.399 --> 00:23:23.879
 doctrine

00:23:23.879 --> 00:23:24.079
 as

00:23:24.079 --> 00:23:24.359
 that

00:23:24.359 --> 00:23:24.539
 is

00:23:24.539 --> 00:23:24.980
 only

00:23:24.980 --> 00:23:25.399
 fit

00:23:25.399 --> 00:23:25.639
 for

00:23:25.639 --> 00:23:26.379
 cannibals

00:23:26.379 --> 00:23:26.899
 it

00:23:26.899 --> 00:23:27.000
 is

00:23:27.000 --> 00:23:27.359
 not

00:23:27.359 --> 00:23:27.539
 a

00:23:27.539 --> 00:23:27.859
 doctrine

00:23:27.859 --> 00:23:28.200
 of

00:23:28.200 --> 00:23:28.759
 Christianity

00:23:28.759 --> 00:23:29.940
 what

00:23:29.940 --> 00:23:30.119
 a

00:23:30.119 --> 00:23:30.819
 profaning

00:23:30.819 --> 00:23:31.000
 of

00:23:31.000 --> 00:23:31.139
 the

 we

00:23:44.160 --> 00:23:44.399
 don't

 John

 chapter

00:23:46.299 --> 00:23:46.639
 that

00:23:46.639 --> 00:23:46.799
 he's

00:23:46.799 --> 00:23:47.000
 saying

00:23:47.000 --> 00:23:47.159
 that

00:23:47.159 --> 00:23:47.259
 you

 nourished

 physically

00:23:49.279 --> 00:23:49.740
 by

00:23:49.740 --> 00:23:50.019
 my

00:23:50.019 --> 00:23:50.779
 actual

00:23:50.779 --> 00:23:51.579
 body

00:23:51.579 --> 00:23:52.059

00:23:52.059 --> 00:23:52.399
 blood

00:23:52.399 --> 00:23:53.059
 that's

00:23:53.059 --> 00:23:53.679
 lunacy

00:23:53.679 --> 00:23:54.720
 Spurgeon

00:23:54.720 --> 00:23:55.079
 agrees

00:23:55.079 --> 00:23:55.259
 with

00:23:55.259 --> 00:23:55.399
 me

00:23:55.399 --> 00:23:55.579
 it's

00:23:55.579 --> 00:23:55.779
 only

00:23:55.779 --> 00:23:56.139
 fit

00:23:56.139 --> 00:23:56.659
 for

 cannibals

00:23:57.379 --> 00:23:59.199
 Catholics

00:23:59.199 --> 00:24:00.179
 and

 some

 other

00:24:00.619 --> 00:24:01.500
 denominations

00:24:01.500 --> 00:24:02.519
 call it

00:24:02.519 --> 00:24:02.659
 a

00:24:02.659 --> 00:24:03.079
 sacrament

00:24:03.079 --> 00:24:03.319
 and

00:24:03.319 --> 00:24:03.460
 the

00:24:03.460 --> 00:24:03.799
 belief

00:24:03.799 --> 00:24:04.119
 is

00:24:04.119 --> 00:24:04.299
 that

 it

00:24:04.460 --> 00:24:05.299
 administers

 is

00:24:08.079 --> 00:24:08.559
 actually

00:24:08.559 --> 00:24:09.119
 a

00:24:09.119 --> 00:24:09.759
 stacking

00:24:09.759 --> 00:24:10.179
 up

00:24:10.179 --> 00:24:10.359
 of

00:24:10.359 --> 00:24:10.819
 grace

00:24:10.819 --> 00:24:11.259
 a

 putting

00:24:12.460 --> 00:24:12.819
 good

00:24:12.819 --> 00:24:13.179
 things

00:24:13.179 --> 00:24:13.439
 in

00:24:13.439 --> 00:24:13.619
 the

 good

00:24:14.879 --> 00:24:15.039
 of

00:24:15.039 --> 00:24:15.359
 stuff

00:24:15.359 --> 00:24:15.500
 if

00:24:15.500 --> 00:24:15.679
 we've

00:24:15.679 --> 00:24:15.799
 got

00:24:15.799 --> 00:24:15.979
 a

00:24:15.979 --> 00:24:16.459
 scale

00:24:16.459 --> 00:24:16.659
 that

00:24:16.659 --> 00:24:16.799
 will

00:24:16.799 --> 00:24:16.959
 be

00:24:16.959 --> 00:24:17.299
 weighed

00:24:17.299 --> 00:24:17.679
 by

00:24:17.679 --> 00:24:17.979
 it's

00:24:17.979 --> 00:24:18.619
 putting

00:24:18.619 --> 00:24:19.179
 extra

00:24:19.179 --> 00:24:19.559
 stuff

00:24:19.559 --> 00:24:19.699
 on

00:24:21.619 --> 00:24:22.500
 rather

00:24:22.500 --> 00:24:22.740
 than

00:24:22.740 --> 00:24:22.879
 it

00:24:22.879 --> 00:24:23.179
 simply

00:24:23.179 --> 00:24:23.579
 being

 already

00:24:26.159 --> 00:24:26.559
 brought

 Christ

00:24:28.439 --> 00:24:29.019
 beloved

00:24:29.019 --> 00:24:29.399
 we must

00:24:29.399 --> 00:24:29.539
 be

00:24:29.539 --> 00:24:29.759
 very

00:24:29.759 --> 00:24:30.219
 careful

00:24:30.219 --> 00:24:31.099
 at

00:24:31.099 --> 00:24:31.299
 this

00:24:31.299 --> 00:24:31.719
 point

00:24:31.719 --> 00:24:32.559
 what

00:24:32.559 --> 00:24:32.939
 are

00:24:32.939 --> 00:24:33.199
 we

00:24:33.199 --> 00:24:33.799
 celebrating

00:24:33.799 --> 00:24:34.339
 when

00:24:34.339 --> 00:24:34.459
 we

00:24:34.459 --> 00:24:34.959
 celebrate

00:24:34.959 --> 00:24:35.519
 the

 Lord's

00:24:35.839 --> 00:24:36.119
 Supper

00:24:36.119 --> 00:24:37.559
 not

00:24:37.559 --> 00:24:37.759
 a

 giving

00:24:38.199 --> 00:24:38.899
 of

00:24:38.899 --> 00:24:40.240
 grace

00:24:40.240 --> 00:24:40.419
 at

00:24:40.419 --> 00:24:40.619
 that

00:24:40.619 --> 00:24:41.000
 moment

00:24:41.000 --> 00:24:41.179
 but

00:24:41.179 --> 00:24:41.319
 a

00:24:41.319 --> 00:24:41.779
 celebration

00:24:41.779 --> 00:24:41.959
 of

00:24:41.959 --> 00:24:42.039
 the

 been

00:24:50.360 --> 00:24:50.740
 goes on

00:24:50.740 --> 00:24:51.080
 to say

00:24:51.080 --> 00:24:52.300
 it is

00:24:52.300 --> 00:24:52.920
 not a

 converting

00:24:53.640 --> 00:24:54.460
 ordinance

 an

 establishing

00:26:58.299 --> 00:26:58.600
 and

00:26:58.600 --> 00:26:59.180
 institutes

00:26:59.180 --> 00:26:59.299
 of

00:26:59.299 --> 00:26:59.380
 the

00:26:59.380 --> 00:26:59.560
 Christian

00:26:59.560 --> 00:26:59.940
 religion

00:26:59.940 --> 00:27:01.720
 by

00:27:01.720 --> 00:27:01.920
 the

00:27:01.920 --> 00:27:02.340
 showing

00:27:02.340 --> 00:27:02.560
 of

00:27:02.560 --> 00:27:02.720
 the

00:27:02.720 --> 00:27:03.140
 symbol

00:27:03.140 --> 00:27:04.180
 the

00:27:04.180 --> 00:27:04.539
 thing

00:27:04.539 --> 00:27:05.200
 itself

00:27:05.200 --> 00:27:05.580
 is

00:27:05.580 --> 00:27:06.200
 also

00:27:06.200 --> 00:27:07.420
 shown

00:27:07.420 --> 00:27:08.920
 for

00:27:08.920 --> 00:27:09.160
 unless

00:27:09.160 --> 00:27:09.320
 a

00:27:09.320 --> 00:27:09.480
 man

00:27:09.480 --> 00:27:09.820
 means

00:27:09.820 --> 00:27:10.000
 to

00:27:10.000 --> 00:27:10.279
 call

00:27:10.279 --> 00:27:10.600
 God

00:27:10.600 --> 00:27:10.720
 a

00:27:10.720 --> 00:27:11.220
 deceiver

00:27:11.220 --> 00:27:12.080
 he

00:27:12.080 --> 00:27:12.240
 would

00:27:12.240 --> 00:27:12.440
 never

00:27:12.440 --> 00:27:12.840
 dare

00:27:12.840 --> 00:27:13.360
 assert

00:27:13.360 --> 00:27:13.940
 that

00:27:13.940 --> 00:27:14.120
 an

00:27:14.120 --> 00:27:14.460
 empty

00:27:14.460 --> 00:27:14.980
 symbol

00:27:14.980 --> 00:27:15.279
 is

00:27:15.279 --> 00:27:15.480
 set

00:27:15.480 --> 00:27:15.779
 forth

00:27:15.779 --> 00:27:16.100
 by

00:27:16.100 --> 00:27:16.440
 him

00:27:16.440 --> 00:27:17.420
 and

00:27:17.420 --> 00:27:17.580
 the

00:27:17.580 --> 00:27:17.940
 godly

00:27:17.940 --> 00:27:18.180
 ought

00:27:18.180 --> 00:27:18.360
 by

00:27:48.180 --> 00:27:48.340
 therefore

00:27:48.340 --> 00:27:48.680
 those

00:27:48.680 --> 00:27:48.820
 of

00:27:48.820 --> 00:27:49.019
 us

00:27:49.019 --> 00:27:49.220
 who

00:27:49.220 --> 00:27:50.019
 desire

00:27:50.019 --> 00:27:50.200
 to

00:27:50.200 --> 00:27:50.400
 take

00:27:50.400 --> 00:27:50.539
 the

00:27:50.539 --> 00:27:50.840
 Lord's

00:27:50.840 --> 00:27:51.080
 Supper

00:27:51.080 --> 00:27:51.980
 rightly

00:27:51.980 --> 00:27:53.259
 should have

00:27:53.259 --> 00:27:53.779
 our minds

00:27:53.779 --> 00:27:54.320
 and our hearts

00:27:54.320 --> 00:27:54.880
 affections

00:27:54.880 --> 00:27:55.920
 turned towards

00:27:55.920 --> 00:27:56.560
 Jesus

00:27:56.560 --> 00:27:58.080
 the one that the symbols

00:27:58.080 --> 00:27:59.000
 are there

00:27:59.000 --> 00:28:00.320
 to represent

00:28:00.320 --> 00:28:03.539
 now as we've talked about the

00:28:03.539 --> 00:28:05.759
 benefits that are brought to us

00:28:05.759 --> 00:28:06.960
 we're celebrating that

00:28:06.960 --> 00:28:07.820
 remembering that

00:28:07.820 --> 00:28:08.580
 Christ's death

00:28:08.580 --> 00:28:11.440
 let's recall that the benefits of Christ's death

00:28:11.440 --> 00:28:13.960
 bear out in the way

00:28:13.960 --> 00:28:15.279
 that we live

00:28:15.279 --> 00:28:15.720
 that has

00:28:15.720 --> 00:28:15.720


00:28:15.720 --> 00:28:16.240
 it has

00:28:16.240 --> 00:28:16.859
 present

00:28:16.859 --> 00:28:17.599
 implication

00:28:17.599 --> 00:28:19.079
 we are given

00:28:19.079 --> 00:28:20.559
 spiritual life

00:28:20.559 --> 00:28:21.460
 in Christ

00:28:21.460 --> 00:28:23.059
 and that means something

00:28:23.059 --> 00:28:24.700
 for what we're going to look like

00:28:24.700 --> 00:28:26.599
 and the way we're going to conduct ourselves

00:28:26.599 --> 00:28:27.759
 in this world

00:28:27.759 --> 00:28:29.599
 another text for you to turn to

00:28:29.599 --> 00:28:31.039
 Colossians chapter 3

00:28:31.039 --> 00:28:42.899
 I know I don't always make you turn so much

00:28:42.899 --> 00:28:44.220
 but it gives me a chance to drink water

00:28:44.220 --> 00:28:46.480
 and my throat is terribly dry this morning

00:28:46.480 --> 00:28:49.819
 Colossians 3

00:28:49.819 --> 00:28:50.799
 1 through 4

00:28:50.799 --> 00:28:52.960
 and it's of great value for you to see it for yourself too

00:28:52.960 --> 00:28:54.000
 if then

00:28:54.000 --> 00:28:56.400
 you have been raised with Christ

00:28:56.400 --> 00:28:58.559
 seek the things that are above

00:28:58.559 --> 00:28:59.740
 where Christ is

00:28:59.740 --> 00:29:01.740
 seated at the right hand of God

00:29:01.740 --> 00:29:04.460
 set your minds on things that are above

00:29:04.460 --> 00:29:05.819
 not on things that are on earth

00:29:05.819 --> 00:29:06.819
 for

00:29:06.819 --> 00:29:08.620
 you have died

00:29:08.620 --> 00:29:11.519
 and your life is hidden with Christ

00:29:11.519 --> 00:29:13.180
 in God

00:29:13.180 --> 00:29:14.840
 when Christ

00:29:14.840 --> 00:29:15.720
 who is your life

00:29:15.720 --> 00:29:16.259
 appears

00:29:16.259 --> 00:29:18.400
 then you also appear

00:29:18.400 --> 00:29:19.380
 with him

00:29:19.380 --> 00:29:20.819
 in glory

00:29:20.819 --> 00:29:23.539
 you see the language of our participation

00:29:23.539 --> 00:29:24.659
 in Christ's death there

00:29:24.659 --> 00:29:25.119
 right

00:29:25.119 --> 00:29:26.220
 we have died

00:29:26.220 --> 00:29:27.419
 our life is hidden with Christ

00:29:27.419 --> 00:29:28.480
 and Christ is now

00:29:28.480 --> 00:29:30.039
 our life

00:29:30.039 --> 00:29:31.579
 we're talking of

00:29:31.579 --> 00:29:32.539
 the spiritual things

00:29:32.539 --> 00:29:33.099
 not the temporal

00:29:33.099 --> 00:29:34.579
 but the spiritual thing

00:29:34.579 --> 00:29:35.839
 the old us

00:29:35.839 --> 00:29:36.639
 has died

00:29:36.639 --> 00:29:37.799
 and the new us

00:29:37.799 --> 00:29:38.919
 should be coming to bear

00:29:38.919 --> 00:29:40.299
 in the way in which

00:29:40.299 --> 00:29:40.960
 we live

00:29:40.960 --> 00:29:41.859
 our lives

00:29:41.859 --> 00:29:42.939
 further down

00:29:42.939 --> 00:29:43.960
 in Colossians

00:29:43.960 --> 00:29:44.740
 if you just notice

00:29:44.740 --> 00:29:46.099
 beginning in verse 5

00:29:46.099 --> 00:29:47.220
 Paul writes

00:29:47.220 --> 00:29:48.379
 put to death

00:29:48.379 --> 00:29:49.039
 therefore

00:29:49.039 --> 00:29:50.799
 and gives us a whole list

00:29:50.799 --> 00:29:51.339
 of things

00:29:51.339 --> 00:29:52.500
 that we ought not

00:29:52.500 --> 00:29:53.139
 be doing

00:29:53.139 --> 00:29:54.779
 as Christians

00:29:54.779 --> 00:29:55.419
 as those

00:29:55.419 --> 00:29:56.599
 who claim the name of Christ

00:29:56.599 --> 00:29:57.639
 who are disciples of his

00:29:57.639 --> 00:29:59.119
 and then beginning in verse 12

00:29:59.119 --> 00:29:59.619
 he says

00:29:59.619 --> 00:30:00.819
 put on then

00:30:00.819 --> 00:30:02.879
 as chosen ones

00:30:02.879 --> 00:30:03.799
 another list

00:30:03.799 --> 00:30:04.359
 of things

00:30:04.359 --> 00:30:05.440
 that we are to be doing

00:30:05.440 --> 00:30:06.859
 activity that should exist

00:30:06.859 --> 00:30:08.019
 in our lives

00:30:08.019 --> 00:30:08.359
 that are

00:30:08.359 --> 00:30:10.119
 activities that are nourished

00:30:10.119 --> 00:30:11.419
 by the very fact

00:30:11.419 --> 00:30:12.220
 that Christ died

00:30:12.220 --> 00:30:13.940
 on our behalf

00:30:13.940 --> 00:30:17.819
 so we're remembering this

00:30:17.819 --> 00:30:19.159
 we're remembering our participation

00:30:19.160 --> 00:30:20.340
 the benefit of Christ's death

00:30:20.340 --> 00:30:21.120
 now

00:30:21.120 --> 00:30:21.740
 and we're also

00:30:21.740 --> 00:30:22.460
 remembering it

00:30:22.460 --> 00:30:23.600
 forever

00:30:23.600 --> 00:30:25.000
 turn to Revelation

00:30:25.000 --> 00:30:25.900
 chapter 19

00:30:25.900 --> 00:30:40.540
 let me remind you

00:30:40.540 --> 00:30:41.380
 of the words of Jesus

00:30:41.380 --> 00:30:42.560
 in chapter 14

00:30:42.560 --> 00:30:43.640
 Mark chapter 14

00:30:43.640 --> 00:30:44.519
 verse 25

00:30:44.519 --> 00:30:45.200
 he says

00:30:45.200 --> 00:30:46.180
 truly I say to you

00:30:46.180 --> 00:30:48.019
 I will not drink again

00:30:48.019 --> 00:30:49.200
 of the fruit of the vine

00:30:49.200 --> 00:30:50.599
 until that day

00:30:50.599 --> 00:30:51.900
 when I drink it new

00:30:51.900 --> 00:30:53.660
 in the kingdom of God

00:30:53.660 --> 00:30:55.779
 with that in mind

00:30:55.779 --> 00:30:56.079
 let's read

00:30:56.079 --> 00:30:57.059
 Revelation 19

00:30:57.059 --> 00:30:58.440
 verses 6-9

00:30:58.440 --> 00:31:01.080
 then I heard

00:31:01.080 --> 00:31:01.860
 what seemed to be

00:31:01.860 --> 00:31:02.380
 the voice

00:31:02.380 --> 00:31:03.420
 of a great multitude

00:31:03.420 --> 00:31:04.880
 like the roar

00:31:04.880 --> 00:31:05.799
 of many waters

00:31:05.799 --> 00:31:06.600
 and like the sound

00:31:06.600 --> 00:31:07.779
 of mighty peals

00:31:07.779 --> 00:31:08.220
 of thunder

00:31:08.220 --> 00:31:09.180
 crying out

00:31:09.180 --> 00:31:10.160
 hallelujah

00:31:10.160 --> 00:31:12.039
 for the Lord our God

00:31:12.039 --> 00:31:13.299
 the Almighty reigns

00:31:13.299 --> 00:31:14.500
 let us rejoice

00:31:14.500 --> 00:31:15.200
 and exult

00:31:15.200 --> 00:31:16.259
 and give him the glory

00:31:16.259 --> 00:31:17.299
 for the marriage

00:31:17.299 --> 00:31:18.400
 of the Lamb

00:31:18.400 --> 00:31:19.279
 has come

00:31:19.279 --> 00:31:20.240
 and his bride

00:31:20.240 --> 00:31:22.120
 has made herself ready

00:31:22.120 --> 00:31:23.980
 it was granted her

00:31:23.980 --> 00:31:24.860
 to clothe herself

00:31:24.860 --> 00:31:25.740
 with fine linen

00:31:25.740 --> 00:31:27.299
 bright and pure

00:31:27.299 --> 00:31:28.579
 for the fine linen

00:31:28.579 --> 00:31:29.779
 is the righteous deeds

00:31:29.779 --> 00:31:30.700
 of the saints

00:31:30.700 --> 00:31:32.740
 and the angel said to me

00:31:32.740 --> 00:31:34.180
 write this

00:31:34.180 --> 00:31:35.680
 blessed are those

00:31:35.680 --> 00:31:36.259
 who are invited

00:31:36.259 --> 00:31:37.659
 to the marriage supper

00:31:37.659 --> 00:31:39.000
 of the Lamb

00:31:39.000 --> 00:31:40.500
 and he said to me

00:31:40.500 --> 00:31:42.220
 these are the true words

00:31:42.220 --> 00:31:43.339
 of God

00:31:43.339 --> 00:31:43.899
 and so we see

00:31:43.899 --> 00:31:44.759
 one day

00:31:44.759 --> 00:31:45.980
 Jesus will be

00:31:45.980 --> 00:31:46.799
 united

00:31:46.799 --> 00:31:47.859
 with his bride

00:31:47.859 --> 00:31:48.460
 the church

00:31:48.460 --> 00:31:49.240
 and we will all

00:31:49.240 --> 00:31:50.559
 feast with him

00:31:50.559 --> 00:31:52.019
 forever

00:31:52.019 --> 00:31:53.460
 this is what

00:31:53.460 --> 00:31:54.379
 the Lord's Supper

00:31:54.379 --> 00:31:55.779
 also does for us

00:31:55.779 --> 00:31:56.919
 it reminds us

00:31:56.920 --> 00:31:57.880
 this participation

00:31:57.880 --> 00:31:58.880
 in the midst of Christ's death

00:31:58.880 --> 00:31:59.860
 has implication

00:31:59.860 --> 00:32:00.400
 now

00:32:00.400 --> 00:32:01.140
 it means something

00:32:01.140 --> 00:32:02.160
 now praise God

00:32:02.160 --> 00:32:03.400
 but it also means

00:32:03.400 --> 00:32:04.420
 something for

00:32:04.420 --> 00:32:05.660
 eternity

00:32:05.660 --> 00:32:07.900
 this is John's glimpse

00:32:07.900 --> 00:32:08.740
 into this event

00:32:08.740 --> 00:32:09.880
 that is one day

00:32:09.880 --> 00:32:11.120
 going to come

00:32:11.120 --> 00:32:12.779
 to pass

00:32:12.779 --> 00:32:15.340
 thirdly

00:32:15.340 --> 00:32:17.519
 when we celebrate

00:32:17.519 --> 00:32:18.160
 the Lord's Supper

00:32:18.160 --> 00:32:19.480
 we remember

00:32:19.480 --> 00:32:21.060
 our unity

00:32:21.060 --> 00:32:23.620
 in Christ's

00:32:23.620 --> 00:32:23.960
 death

00:32:23.960 --> 00:32:25.039
 so we've

00:32:25.039 --> 00:32:25.640
 remembered

00:32:25.640 --> 00:32:26.600
 Christ's death

00:32:26.600 --> 00:32:27.759
 we've remembered

00:32:27.759 --> 00:32:28.500
 our participation

00:32:28.500 --> 00:32:29.420
 in the benefits

00:32:29.420 --> 00:32:30.900
 of Christ's death

00:32:30.900 --> 00:32:32.820
 but we also

00:32:32.820 --> 00:32:33.600
 remember our

00:32:33.600 --> 00:32:34.540
 unity

00:32:34.540 --> 00:32:36.340
 in Christ's death

00:32:36.340 --> 00:32:37.259
 do you recall

00:32:37.259 --> 00:32:37.980
 me saying to you

00:32:37.980 --> 00:32:38.580
 that baptism

00:32:38.580 --> 00:32:39.820
 is this thing

00:32:39.820 --> 00:32:40.460
 representing

00:32:40.460 --> 00:32:41.740
 the new life

00:32:41.740 --> 00:32:42.060
 that has been

00:32:42.060 --> 00:32:42.759
 brought to bear

00:32:42.759 --> 00:32:43.660
 in us

00:32:43.660 --> 00:32:44.380
 that we are now

00:32:44.380 --> 00:32:45.140
 part of the covenant

00:32:45.140 --> 00:32:46.280
 community of God

00:32:46.280 --> 00:32:47.960
 and the Lord's Supper

00:32:47.960 --> 00:32:49.280
 now is a continuing

00:32:49.280 --> 00:32:50.480
 picture of our

00:32:50.480 --> 00:32:51.240
 communion

00:32:51.240 --> 00:32:52.759
 with the people

00:32:52.759 --> 00:32:53.900
 of God

00:32:53.900 --> 00:32:55.000
 our unity

00:32:55.000 --> 00:32:56.559
 in Christ's

00:32:56.559 --> 00:32:57.059
 death

00:32:57.059 --> 00:32:58.740
 there slipped

00:32:58.740 --> 00:32:59.299
 into the

00:32:59.299 --> 00:33:00.620
 Christian vernacular

00:33:00.620 --> 00:33:01.680
 a phrase

00:33:01.680 --> 00:33:02.420
 which I think

00:33:02.420 --> 00:33:03.180
 is particularly

00:33:03.180 --> 00:33:04.160
 harmful

00:33:04.160 --> 00:33:05.640
 and you will hear

00:33:05.640 --> 00:33:06.660
 it in most

00:33:06.660 --> 00:33:07.200
 churches

00:33:07.200 --> 00:33:08.680
 this Sunday

00:33:08.680 --> 00:33:09.160
 morning

00:33:09.160 --> 00:33:10.819
 personal

00:33:10.819 --> 00:33:12.019
 relationship

00:33:12.019 --> 00:33:13.440
 with Jesus

00:33:13.440 --> 00:33:13.960
 Christ

00:33:13.960 --> 00:33:15.900
 now it is

00:33:15.900 --> 00:33:16.700
 certainly true

00:33:16.700 --> 00:33:17.220
 that we do

00:33:17.220 --> 00:33:17.740
 have

00:33:17.740 --> 00:33:18.740
 personal

00:33:18.740 --> 00:33:19.600
 relationships

00:33:19.600 --> 00:33:20.380
 that now

00:33:20.380 --> 00:33:21.279
 as those

00:33:21.279 --> 00:33:21.980
 saved

00:33:21.980 --> 00:33:22.480
 by the grace

00:33:22.480 --> 00:33:22.960
 of God

00:33:22.960 --> 00:33:23.720
 he speaks

00:33:23.720 --> 00:33:24.299
 to us

00:33:24.299 --> 00:33:25.720
 he is a

00:33:25.720 --> 00:33:26.240
 friend

00:33:26.240 --> 00:33:27.460
 he communicates

00:33:27.460 --> 00:33:28.299
 clearly

00:33:28.299 --> 00:33:29.120
 to us

00:33:29.120 --> 00:33:30.000
 by his word

00:33:30.000 --> 00:33:31.100
 through his spirit

00:33:31.100 --> 00:33:32.240
 this is true

00:33:32.240 --> 00:33:34.039
 but this type

00:33:34.039 --> 00:33:34.720
 of language

00:33:34.720 --> 00:33:35.240
 has caused

00:33:35.240 --> 00:33:36.120
 so many people

00:33:36.120 --> 00:33:36.880
 to think

00:33:36.880 --> 00:33:37.660
 that what they

00:33:37.660 --> 00:33:38.240
 can do on a

00:33:38.240 --> 00:33:38.759
 Sunday morning

00:33:38.759 --> 00:33:39.700
 is sleep in

00:33:39.700 --> 00:33:40.700
 and then watch

00:33:40.700 --> 00:33:41.019
 a little

00:33:41.019 --> 00:33:41.860
 TBN

00:33:41.860 --> 00:33:42.720
 later on

00:33:42.720 --> 00:33:44.420
 not okay

00:33:44.420 --> 00:33:45.079
 we've been

00:33:45.079 --> 00:33:45.880
 saved to a

00:33:45.880 --> 00:33:46.720
 community

00:33:46.720 --> 00:33:48.100
 of believers

00:33:48.100 --> 00:33:49.140
 we've been

00:33:49.140 --> 00:33:49.880
 called out

00:33:49.880 --> 00:33:50.460
 of darkness

00:33:50.460 --> 00:33:51.100
 to be part

00:33:51.100 --> 00:33:51.460
 of a

00:33:51.460 --> 00:33:52.220
 people

00:33:52.220 --> 00:33:53.079
 to the

00:33:53.079 --> 00:33:53.480
 praise of

00:33:53.480 --> 00:33:53.839
 God

00:33:53.839 --> 00:33:55.079
 not individuals

00:33:55.079 --> 00:33:56.460
 parts that

00:33:56.460 --> 00:33:57.019
 we play

00:33:57.019 --> 00:33:57.500
 but that's

00:33:57.500 --> 00:33:58.079
 not the

00:33:58.079 --> 00:33:59.279
 the impetus

00:33:59.279 --> 00:33:59.920
 of what's

00:33:59.920 --> 00:34:00.559
 being communicated

00:34:00.559 --> 00:34:01.500
 in the

00:34:01.500 --> 00:34:02.059
 New Testament

00:34:02.059 --> 00:34:03.019
 concerning

00:34:03.019 --> 00:34:03.799
 our

00:34:03.799 --> 00:34:04.579
 salvation

00:34:04.579 --> 00:34:05.640
 we are

00:34:05.640 --> 00:34:06.360
 saved as

00:34:06.360 --> 00:34:06.640
 a

00:34:06.640 --> 00:34:07.640
 people

00:34:07.640 --> 00:34:09.059
 1 Corinthians

00:34:09.059 --> 00:34:09.699
 10

00:34:09.699 --> 00:34:10.780
 verses 16

00:34:10.780 --> 00:34:11.240
 and 17

00:34:11.240 --> 00:34:11.940
 expresses this

00:34:11.940 --> 00:34:12.539
 Paul says

00:34:12.539 --> 00:34:14.380
 the cup

00:34:14.380 --> 00:34:15.000
 of blessing

00:34:15.000 --> 00:34:15.380
 that we

00:34:15.380 --> 00:34:15.780
 bless

00:34:15.780 --> 00:34:16.139
 is talking

00:34:16.139 --> 00:34:16.420
 about the

00:34:16.420 --> 00:34:16.720
 Lord's

00:34:16.720 --> 00:34:16.900
 supper

00:34:16.900 --> 00:34:17.320
 the cup

00:34:17.320 --> 00:34:17.720
 of blessing

00:34:17.720 --> 00:34:18.000
 that we

00:34:18.000 --> 00:34:18.400
 bless

00:34:18.400 --> 00:34:19.800
 is it not

00:34:19.800 --> 00:34:20.700
 a participation

00:34:20.700 --> 00:34:21.480
 in the blood

00:34:21.480 --> 00:34:22.099
 of Christ

00:34:22.099 --> 00:34:23.480
 the bread

00:34:23.480 --> 00:34:23.940
 that we

00:34:23.940 --> 00:34:24.519
 break

00:34:24.519 --> 00:34:26.039
 is it not

00:34:26.039 --> 00:34:26.800
 a participation

00:34:26.800 --> 00:34:27.900
 in the body

00:34:27.900 --> 00:34:28.539
 of Christ

00:34:28.539 --> 00:34:29.960
 because there

00:34:29.960 --> 00:34:30.420
 is one

00:34:30.420 --> 00:34:30.980
 bread

00:34:30.980 --> 00:34:32.680
 we who are

00:34:32.680 --> 00:34:33.539
 many are

00:34:33.539 --> 00:34:34.579
 one body

00:34:34.579 --> 00:34:35.840
 for we all

00:34:35.840 --> 00:34:36.460
 partake

00:34:36.460 --> 00:34:37.700
 of the one

00:34:37.700 --> 00:34:38.180
 bread

00:34:38.180 --> 00:34:39.240
 you see what

00:34:39.240 --> 00:34:39.579
 he's trying to

00:34:39.579 --> 00:34:40.300
 communicate to us

00:34:40.300 --> 00:34:40.800
 here with all

00:34:40.800 --> 00:34:41.400
 of these plural

00:34:41.400 --> 00:34:42.200
 pronouns

00:34:42.199 --> 00:34:44.000
 we are

00:34:44.000 --> 00:34:45.759
 a community

00:34:45.759 --> 00:34:46.879
 praise God

00:34:46.879 --> 00:34:47.539
 for that

00:34:47.539 --> 00:34:48.739
 that we

00:34:48.739 --> 00:34:49.239
 are his

00:34:49.239 --> 00:34:50.000
 people

00:34:50.000 --> 00:34:50.799
 and it

00:34:50.799 --> 00:34:51.019
 has been

00:34:51.019 --> 00:34:51.679
 given to us

00:34:51.679 --> 00:34:52.399
 to draw

00:34:52.399 --> 00:34:53.119
 his other

00:34:53.119 --> 00:34:53.599
 people

00:34:53.599 --> 00:34:54.159
 the sheep

00:34:54.159 --> 00:34:54.419
 that are

00:34:54.419 --> 00:34:55.059
 not yet

00:34:55.059 --> 00:34:55.379
 of this

00:34:55.379 --> 00:34:56.000
 fold

00:34:56.000 --> 00:34:57.159
 into the

00:34:57.159 --> 00:34:57.500
 fold

00:34:57.500 --> 00:34:58.099
 to make

00:34:58.099 --> 00:34:58.639
 them part

00:34:58.639 --> 00:34:59.079
 of this

00:34:59.079 --> 00:34:59.879
 fellowship

00:34:59.879 --> 00:35:00.639
 that we

00:35:00.639 --> 00:35:01.460
 experience

00:35:01.460 --> 00:35:03.000
 there are

00:35:03.000 --> 00:35:03.199
 many

00:35:03.199 --> 00:35:04.019
 expressions

00:35:04.019 --> 00:35:05.059
 of God's

00:35:05.059 --> 00:35:05.659
 global

00:35:05.659 --> 00:35:06.639
 church

00:35:06.639 --> 00:35:07.500
 I would

00:35:07.500 --> 00:35:07.760
 give that

00:35:07.760 --> 00:35:08.320
 a capital

00:35:08.320 --> 00:35:08.760
 c

00:35:08.760 --> 00:35:09.740
 church

00:35:09.740 --> 00:35:10.019
 the

00:35:10.019 --> 00:35:11.000
 universal

00:35:11.000 --> 00:35:12.019
 church

00:35:12.019 --> 00:35:12.679
 which includes

00:35:12.679 --> 00:35:13.199
 not just

00:35:13.199 --> 00:35:13.699
 all those

00:35:13.699 --> 00:35:14.119
 who claim

00:35:14.119 --> 00:35:14.500
 Christ

00:35:14.500 --> 00:35:14.840
 now

00:35:14.840 --> 00:35:15.220
 but those

00:35:15.220 --> 00:35:15.539
 who claim

00:35:15.539 --> 00:35:15.920
 Christ

00:35:15.920 --> 00:35:16.480
 past

00:35:16.480 --> 00:35:17.119
 and

00:35:17.119 --> 00:35:18.340
 future

00:35:18.340 --> 00:35:19.579
 but there

00:35:19.579 --> 00:35:20.300
 are local

00:35:20.300 --> 00:35:20.980
 expressions

00:35:20.980 --> 00:35:21.699
 of this

00:35:21.699 --> 00:35:22.039
 which is

00:35:22.039 --> 00:35:22.300
 what

00:35:22.300 --> 00:35:22.920
 Christ

00:35:22.920 --> 00:35:23.300
 family

00:35:23.300 --> 00:35:24.280
 church

00:35:24.280 --> 00:35:24.900
 is

00:35:24.900 --> 00:35:26.599
 do you

00:35:26.599 --> 00:35:26.840
 come

00:35:26.840 --> 00:35:27.340
 together

00:35:27.340 --> 00:35:28.119
 because

00:35:28.119 --> 00:35:28.900
 we're

00:35:28.900 --> 00:35:29.679
 a people

00:35:29.679 --> 00:35:31.179
 saved

00:35:31.179 --> 00:35:31.500
 by the

00:35:31.500 --> 00:35:31.679
 grace

00:35:31.679 --> 00:35:32.159
 of God

00:35:32.159 --> 00:35:32.500
 by the

00:35:32.500 --> 00:35:32.839
 accomplished

00:35:32.839 --> 00:35:33.119
 work

00:35:33.119 --> 00:35:33.279
 of

00:35:33.279 --> 00:35:33.779
 Christ

00:35:33.779 --> 00:35:34.799
 or

00:35:34.799 --> 00:35:35.079
 because

00:35:35.079 --> 00:35:35.319
 you

00:35:35.319 --> 00:35:35.619
 like

00:35:35.619 --> 00:35:35.879
 the

00:35:35.879 --> 00:35:36.039
 way

00:35:36.039 --> 00:35:36.199
 we

00:35:36.199 --> 00:35:36.399
 put

00:35:36.399 --> 00:35:36.779
 together

00:35:36.779 --> 00:35:37.579
 programs

00:35:37.579 --> 00:35:38.619
 I hope

00:35:38.619 --> 00:35:38.759
 it's

00:35:38.759 --> 00:35:38.919
 the

00:35:38.919 --> 00:35:39.219
 former

00:35:39.219 --> 00:35:40.239
 and not

00:35:40.239 --> 00:35:40.399
 the

00:35:40.399 --> 00:35:40.619
 latter

00:35:40.619 --> 00:35:40.799
 because

00:35:40.799 --> 00:35:40.879
 I

00:36:01.179 --> 00:36:01.279
 should

00:36:01.279 --> 00:36:01.759
 remember

00:36:01.759 --> 00:36:02.039
 we

00:36:02.039 --> 00:36:02.379
 celebrate

00:36:02.379 --> 00:36:02.559
 the

00:36:02.559 --> 00:36:02.819
 Lord's

00:36:02.819 --> 00:36:03.039
 Supper

00:36:03.039 --> 00:36:03.579
 that

00:36:03.579 --> 00:36:03.699
 we're

00:36:03.699 --> 00:36:03.879
 doing

00:36:03.879 --> 00:36:04.039
 it

00:36:04.039 --> 00:36:04.599
 collectively

00:36:04.599 --> 00:36:05.379
 together

00:36:05.379 --> 00:36:05.940
 you know

00:36:05.940 --> 00:36:06.319
 we've

00:36:06.319 --> 00:36:06.419
 been

00:36:06.419 --> 00:36:06.659
 doing

00:36:06.659 --> 00:36:06.799
 the

00:36:06.799 --> 00:36:07.000
 Lord's

00:36:07.000 --> 00:36:07.159
 Supper

00:36:07.159 --> 00:36:07.460
 every

00:36:07.460 --> 00:36:07.779
 single

00:36:07.779 --> 00:36:07.980
 Lord

00:36:07.980 --> 00:36:08.199
 today

00:36:08.199 --> 00:36:08.539
 together

00:36:08.539 --> 00:36:09.059
 for quite

00:36:09.059 --> 00:36:09.299
 some

00:36:09.299 --> 00:36:09.659
 time

00:36:09.659 --> 00:36:10.179
 some

00:36:10.179 --> 00:36:10.419
 of you

00:36:10.419 --> 00:36:10.980
 look so

00:36:10.980 --> 00:36:11.539
 miserable

00:36:11.539 --> 00:36:11.899
 when we're

00:36:11.899 --> 00:36:12.379
 doing it

00:36:12.379 --> 00:36:13.099
 and I

00:36:13.099 --> 00:36:13.599
 know

00:36:13.599 --> 00:36:14.000
 you're

00:36:14.000 --> 00:36:14.419
 not

00:36:14.419 --> 00:36:16.019
 I

00:36:16.019 --> 00:36:16.399
 believe

00:36:16.399 --> 00:36:16.619
 it's

00:36:16.619 --> 00:36:16.859
 just

00:36:16.859 --> 00:36:17.519
 because

00:36:17.519 --> 00:36:18.199
 it's

00:36:18.199 --> 00:36:18.339
 been

00:36:18.339 --> 00:36:18.639
 given

00:36:18.639 --> 00:36:18.980
 to you

00:36:18.980 --> 00:36:19.119
 as

00:36:19.119 --> 00:36:19.299
 some

00:36:19.299 --> 00:36:19.559
 kind

00:36:19.559 --> 00:36:19.659
 of

00:36:19.659 --> 00:36:19.819
 a

00:36:19.819 --> 00:36:20.500
 somber

00:36:20.500 --> 00:36:21.480
 moment

00:36:21.480 --> 00:36:21.899
 in

00:36:21.899 --> 00:36:22.239
 the

00:36:22.239 --> 00:36:22.699
 life

00:36:22.699 --> 00:36:23.339
 of a

00:36:23.339 --> 00:36:23.859
 congregation

00:36:23.859 --> 00:36:25.759
 I

00:36:25.759 --> 00:36:26.319
 smile at

00:36:26.319 --> 00:36:26.440
 the

00:36:26.440 --> 00:36:26.679
 person

00:36:26.679 --> 00:36:26.919
 that I

00:36:26.919 --> 00:36:27.119
 get

00:36:27.119 --> 00:36:27.599
 the

00:36:27.599 --> 00:36:27.839
 Lord's

00:36:27.839 --> 00:36:27.960
 Supper

00:36:27.960 --> 00:36:28.339
 elements

00:36:28.339 --> 00:36:28.639
 from

00:36:28.639 --> 00:36:28.940
 and I

00:36:28.940 --> 00:36:29.079
 say

00:36:29.079 --> 00:36:29.339
 thank

00:36:29.339 --> 00:36:29.539
 you

00:36:29.539 --> 00:36:30.460
 that's

00:36:30.460 --> 00:36:30.799
 okay

00:36:30.799 --> 00:36:32.400
 we're

00:36:32.400 --> 00:36:32.619
 a

00:36:32.619 --> 00:36:33.119
 community

00:36:33.119 --> 00:36:33.519
 taking

00:36:33.519 --> 00:36:33.920
 the

00:36:33.920 --> 00:36:34.239
 meal

00:36:34.239 --> 00:36:35.199
 together

00:36:35.199 --> 00:36:36.259
 in fact

00:36:36.259 --> 00:36:36.440
 I

00:36:36.440 --> 00:36:36.579
 would

00:36:36.579 --> 00:36:36.920
 argue

00:36:36.920 --> 00:36:37.159
 that

00:36:37.159 --> 00:36:37.319
 the

00:36:37.319 --> 00:36:37.519
 way

00:36:37.519 --> 00:36:37.679
 that

00:36:37.679 --> 00:36:37.839
 we

00:36:37.839 --> 00:36:38.000
 do

00:36:38.000 --> 00:36:38.159
 the

00:36:38.159 --> 00:36:38.440
 Lord's

00:36:38.440 --> 00:36:38.659
 Supper

00:36:38.659 --> 00:36:39.239
 is

00:36:39.239 --> 00:36:39.599
 probably

00:36:39.599 --> 00:36:39.900
 not

00:36:39.900 --> 00:36:40.159
 the

00:36:40.159 --> 00:36:41.000
 purest

00:36:41.000 --> 00:36:41.420
 expression

00:36:41.420 --> 00:36:41.679
 of

00:36:41.679 --> 00:36:41.860
 it

00:36:41.860 --> 00:36:42.920
 we

00:36:42.920 --> 00:36:43.400
 see

00:36:43.400 --> 00:36:43.880
 particularly

00:36:43.880 --> 00:36:44.039
 in

00:36:44.039 --> 00:36:44.119
 the

00:36:44.119 --> 00:36:44.259
 book

00:36:44.259 --> 00:36:44.400
 of

00:36:44.400 --> 00:36:44.819
 Corinthians

00:36:44.819 --> 00:36:45.099
 the

00:36:45.099 --> 00:36:45.420
 believers

00:36:45.420 --> 00:36:45.639
 were

00:36:45.639 --> 00:36:46.139
 gathering

00:36:46.139 --> 00:36:46.460
 around

00:36:46.460 --> 00:36:46.659
 a

00:36:46.659 --> 00:36:47.059
 table

00:36:47.059 --> 00:36:47.900
 the

00:36:47.900 --> 00:36:48.139
 great

00:36:48.139 --> 00:36:48.799
 admonition

00:36:48.799 --> 00:36:49.019
 to

00:36:49.019 --> 00:36:49.219
 them

00:36:49.219 --> 00:36:49.440
 by

00:36:49.440 --> 00:36:49.779
 Paul

00:36:49.779 --> 00:36:49.940
 is

00:36:49.940 --> 00:36:50.079
 that

00:36:50.079 --> 00:36:50.239
 there

00:36:50.239 --> 00:36:50.400
 were

00:36:50.400 --> 00:36:50.719
 some

00:36:50.719 --> 00:36:50.880
 who

00:36:50.880 --> 00:36:51.000
 were

00:36:51.000 --> 00:36:51.199
 getting

00:36:51.199 --> 00:36:51.460
 off

00:36:51.460 --> 00:36:51.619
 of

00:36:51.619 --> 00:36:52.380
 early

00:36:52.380 --> 00:36:52.920
 and

00:36:52.920 --> 00:36:53.000
 they

00:36:53.000 --> 00:36:53.099
 were

00:36:53.099 --> 00:36:53.460
 starting

00:36:53.460 --> 00:36:53.659
 the

00:36:53.659 --> 00:36:53.920
 meal

00:36:53.920 --> 00:36:54.219
 before

00:36:54.219 --> 00:36:54.519
 those

00:36:54.519 --> 00:36:54.659
 who

00:36:54.659 --> 00:36:54.839
 got

00:36:54.839 --> 00:36:55.019
 off

00:36:55.019 --> 00:36:55.299
 late

00:36:55.299 --> 00:36:55.659
 particularly

00:36:55.659 --> 00:36:55.900
 the

00:36:55.900 --> 00:36:56.239
 slaves

00:36:56.239 --> 00:36:56.400
 could

00:36:56.400 --> 00:36:56.639
 come

00:36:56.639 --> 00:36:56.759
 and

00:36:56.759 --> 00:36:56.880
 eat

00:36:56.880 --> 00:36:57.179
 and

00:36:57.179 --> 00:36:57.279
 the

00:36:57.279 --> 00:36:57.440
 food

00:36:57.440 --> 00:36:57.599
 was

00:36:57.599 --> 00:36:58.039
 gone

00:36:58.039 --> 00:36:58.420
 the

00:36:58.420 --> 00:36:58.759
 Lord's

00:36:58.759 --> 00:36:58.980
 supper

00:36:58.980 --> 00:36:59.199
 had

00:36:59.199 --> 00:36:59.359
 been

00:36:59.359 --> 00:36:59.960
 consumed

00:36:59.960 --> 00:37:00.779
 before

00:37:00.779 --> 00:37:01.000
 they

00:37:01.000 --> 00:37:01.279
 ever

00:37:01.279 --> 00:37:01.940
 got

00:37:01.940 --> 00:37:02.159
 there

00:37:02.159 --> 00:37:02.319
 I

00:37:02.319 --> 00:37:02.500
 think

00:37:02.500 --> 00:37:02.639
 the

00:37:02.639 --> 00:37:02.880
 most

00:37:02.880 --> 00:37:03.440
 pure

00:37:03.440 --> 00:37:03.940
 expression

00:37:03.940 --> 00:37:04.199
 of

00:37:04.199 --> 00:37:04.299
 it

00:37:04.299 --> 00:37:04.420
 is

00:37:04.420 --> 00:37:04.619
 us

00:37:04.619 --> 00:37:04.839
 sitting

00:37:04.839 --> 00:37:05.359
 together

00:37:05.359 --> 00:37:05.599
 in

00:37:05.599 --> 00:37:06.119
 community

00:37:06.119 --> 00:37:06.359
 and

00:37:06.359 --> 00:37:06.679
 sharing

00:37:06.679 --> 00:37:07.359
 food

00:37:07.359 --> 00:37:07.539
 with

00:37:07.539 --> 00:37:07.679
 one

00:37:07.679 --> 00:37:07.980
 another

00:37:07.980 --> 00:37:08.599
 and

00:37:08.599 --> 00:37:09.319
 particularly

00:37:09.319 --> 00:37:10.699
 commemorating

00:37:10.699 --> 00:37:11.239
 Christ

00:37:11.239 --> 00:37:11.779
 in our

00:37:11.779 --> 00:37:12.199
 gathering

00:37:12.199 --> 00:37:13.079
 together

00:37:13.079 --> 00:37:14.699
 however

00:37:14.699 --> 00:37:16.099
 I do

00:37:16.099 --> 00:37:16.259
 think

00:37:16.259 --> 00:37:16.460
 that the

00:37:16.460 --> 00:37:16.759
 elements

00:37:16.759 --> 00:37:16.940
 are

00:37:16.940 --> 00:37:17.199
 there

00:37:17.199 --> 00:37:17.219
!

00:37:17.219 --> 00:37:18.000
 great

00:37:18.000 --> 00:37:18.380
 juice

00:37:18.380 --> 00:37:18.860
 as

00:37:18.860 --> 00:37:19.079
 we've

00:37:19.079 --> 00:37:19.340
 said

00:37:19.340 --> 00:37:20.440
 I

00:37:20.440 --> 00:37:20.579
 don't

00:37:20.579 --> 00:37:20.699
 know

00:37:20.699 --> 00:37:20.840
 that

00:37:20.840 --> 00:37:21.000
 it's

00:37:21.000 --> 00:37:21.239
 all

00:37:21.239 --> 00:37:21.420
 that

00:37:21.420 --> 00:37:21.739
 important

00:37:21.739 --> 00:37:21.900
 that

00:37:21.900 --> 00:37:22.019
 it

00:37:22.019 --> 00:37:22.260
 has

00:37:22.260 --> 00:37:22.400
 to

00:37:22.400 --> 00:37:22.719
 be

00:37:22.719 --> 00:37:23.559
 necessarily

00:37:23.559 --> 00:37:23.980
 fruit

00:37:23.980 --> 00:37:24.079
 of

00:37:24.079 --> 00:37:24.159
 the

00:37:24.159 --> 00:37:24.400
 vine

00:37:24.400 --> 00:37:24.619
 although

00:37:24.619 --> 00:37:24.860
 this

00:37:24.860 --> 00:37:25.000
 is

00:37:25.000 --> 00:37:25.239
 the

00:37:25.239 --> 00:37:26.019
 element

00:37:26.019 --> 00:37:26.320
 that

00:37:26.320 --> 00:37:26.599
 Jesus

00:37:26.599 --> 00:37:27.139
 himself

00:37:27.139 --> 00:37:27.940
 used

00:37:27.940 --> 00:37:28.139
 as

00:37:28.139 --> 00:37:28.340
 well

00:37:28.340 --> 00:37:28.699
 as

00:37:28.699 --> 00:37:29.500
 bread

00:37:29.500 --> 00:37:29.780
 someone

00:37:29.780 --> 00:37:30.159
 say

00:37:30.159 --> 00:37:30.400
 that

00:37:30.400 --> 00:37:30.539
 our

00:37:30.539 --> 00:37:30.739
 bread

00:37:30.739 --> 00:37:30.900
 is

00:37:30.900 --> 00:37:31.420
 leavened

00:37:31.420 --> 00:37:31.519
 and

00:37:31.519 --> 00:37:31.760
 that's

00:37:31.760 --> 00:37:31.900
 not

00:37:31.900 --> 00:37:32.179
 good

00:37:32.179 --> 00:37:32.480
 because

00:37:32.480 --> 00:37:32.800
 Jesus

00:37:32.800 --> 00:37:33.260
 used

00:37:33.260 --> 00:37:34.099
 unleavened

00:37:34.099 --> 00:37:34.300
 bread

00:37:34.300 --> 00:37:34.579
 because

00:37:34.579 --> 00:37:34.679
 it

00:37:34.679 --> 00:37:34.780
 was

00:37:34.780 --> 00:37:34.920
 the

00:37:34.920 --> 00:37:35.300
 Passover

00:37:35.300 --> 00:37:35.619
 meal

00:37:35.619 --> 00:37:35.960
 again

00:37:35.960 --> 00:37:36.619
 I

00:37:36.619 --> 00:37:36.760
 don't

00:37:36.760 --> 00:37:36.940
 think

00:37:36.940 --> 00:37:37.099
 it's

00:37:37.099 --> 00:37:37.300
 all

00:37:37.300 --> 00:37:37.860
 that

00:37:37.860 --> 00:37:38.260
 terribly

00:37:38.260 --> 00:37:38.280
!

00:37:39.059 --> 00:37:39.380
 important

00:37:39.380 --> 00:37:40.139
 I

00:37:40.139 --> 00:37:40.340
 do

00:37:40.340 --> 00:37:40.860
 believe

00:37:40.860 --> 00:37:41.140
 because

00:37:41.140 --> 00:37:41.320
 we

00:37:41.320 --> 00:37:41.579
 have

00:37:41.579 --> 00:37:41.760
 the

00:37:41.760 --> 00:37:42.200
 proper

00:37:42.200 --> 00:37:42.680
 elements

00:37:42.680 --> 00:37:42.940
 the

00:37:42.940 --> 00:37:43.400
 symbols

00:37:43.400 --> 00:37:43.860
 once

00:37:43.860 --> 00:37:44.200
 again

00:37:44.200 --> 00:37:45.240
 that

00:37:45.240 --> 00:37:45.360
 were

00:37:45.360 --> 00:37:45.620
 within

00:37:45.620 --> 00:37:45.760
 the

00:37:45.760 --> 00:37:46.000
 biblical

00:37:46.000 --> 00:37:46.460
 boundaries

00:37:46.460 --> 00:37:46.700
 of

00:37:46.700 --> 00:37:47.140
 celebrating

00:37:47.140 --> 00:37:47.320
 it

00:37:47.320 --> 00:37:47.440
 in

00:37:47.440 --> 00:37:47.539
 the

00:37:47.539 --> 00:37:47.840
 way

00:37:47.840 --> 00:37:48.640
 that

00:37:48.640 --> 00:37:48.760
 we

00:37:48.760 --> 00:37:49.039
 do

00:37:49.039 --> 00:37:50.900
 there

00:37:50.900 --> 00:37:51.000
 are

00:37:51.000 --> 00:37:51.200
 some

00:37:51.200 --> 00:37:52.420
 challenges

00:37:52.420 --> 00:37:53.240
 concerning

00:37:53.240 --> 00:37:54.720
 having

00:37:54.720 --> 00:37:54.940
 our

00:37:56.280 --> 00:37:56.820

00:37:56.820 --> 00:37:57.280
 the

00:37:57.280 --> 00:37:57.440
 way

00:37:57.440 --> 00:37:57.599
 that

00:37:57.599 --> 00:37:57.720
 it

00:37:57.720 --> 00:37:58.019
 is

00:37:58.019 --> 00:37:58.680
 and

00:37:58.680 --> 00:37:58.780
 if

00:37:58.780 --> 00:37:58.880
 you

 our

00:38:03.220 --> 00:38:03.720
 crowd

00:38:03.720 --> 00:38:04.120
 being

00:38:07.260 --> 00:38:07.500
 a

00:38:07.500 --> 00:38:08.539
 fringe

00:38:08.539 --> 00:38:09.400
 fluctuating

00:38:09.400 --> 00:38:09.880
!

00:38:10.860 --> 00:38:12.860
 We

00:38:12.860 --> 00:38:13.860
 love

00:38:13.860 --> 00:38:13.800

00:38:14.079 --> 00:38:14.640

00:38:14.640 --> 00:38:15.180

00:38:15.180 --> 00:38:15.340
 there

00:38:15.340 --> 00:38:15.460

00:38:16.860 --> 00:38:17.059

00:38:17.059 --> 00:38:17.300
 I

00:38:17.300 --> 00:38:17.519
 just

00:38:17.519 --> 00:38:17.800
 really

00:38:17.800 --> 00:38:18.140
 don't

00:38:18.140 --> 00:38:18.559
 know

00:38:18.559 --> 00:38:20.240
 about

00:38:20.860 --> 00:38:21.039

00:38:21.039 --> 00:38:21.160
 I

00:38:21.160 --> 00:38:21.260
 went

00:38:21.260 --> 00:38:21.400
 to

00:38:21.400 --> 00:38:21.519
 one

00:38:21.519 --> 00:38:21.620

00:38:22.740 --> 00:38:23.240
 and

00:38:23.240 --> 00:38:24.039
 the

00:38:24.039 --> 00:38:24.240
 girl

00:38:24.240 --> 00:38:24.360
 that

00:38:24.360 --> 00:38:24.480
 was

00:38:24.480 --> 00:38:24.700
 handing

00:38:24.700 --> 00:38:24.980
 out

00:38:24.980 --> 00:38:25.660
 programs

00:38:25.660 --> 00:38:26.200
 said

00:38:26.200 --> 00:38:26.700
 Nathan

00:38:26.700 --> 00:38:27.500
 hey

00:38:27.500 --> 00:38:27.960
 when I

00:38:27.960 --> 00:38:28.200
 walked

00:38:28.200 --> 00:38:28.400
 in

00:38:28.400 --> 00:38:28.800
 and I

00:38:28.800 --> 00:38:29.000
 didn't

00:38:29.000 --> 00:38:29.500
 recognize

00:38:29.500 --> 00:38:29.840
 her

00:38:29.840 --> 00:38:30.840
 no

00:38:30.840 --> 00:38:31.360
 idea

00:38:31.360 --> 00:38:32.180
 and I

00:38:32.180 --> 00:38:32.320
 felt

00:38:32.320 --> 00:38:32.740
 horrible

00:38:32.740 --> 00:38:32.980
 for

00:38:32.980 --> 00:38:33.240
 that

00:38:33.240 --> 00:38:33.460
 but

00:38:33.460 --> 00:38:33.660
 she

00:38:33.660 --> 00:38:33.960
 probably

00:38:33.960 --> 00:38:34.160
 was

00:38:34.160 --> 00:38:34.360
 part

00:38:34.360 --> 00:38:34.440
 of

00:39:03.980 --> 00:39:04.260
 knew

00:39:04.260 --> 00:39:04.480
 was

 of

00:39:07.579 --> 00:39:07.960
 repentance

00:39:07.960 --> 00:39:08.240
 he

00:39:08.240 --> 00:39:08.320
 would

00:39:08.320 --> 00:39:08.440
 give

00:39:09.619 --> 00:39:09.720
 they

00:39:09.720 --> 00:39:09.840
 would

 escort

00:39:10.559 --> 00:39:13.260
 maybe

 a

00:39:13.440 --> 00:39:13.559
 little

00:39:13.559 --> 00:39:14.019
 severe

00:39:14.019 --> 00:39:15.720
 I

00:39:15.720 --> 00:39:15.900
 don't

00:39:15.900 --> 00:39:16.200
 know

00:39:16.200 --> 00:39:17.320
 we

00:39:17.320 --> 00:39:17.500
 are

00:39:17.500 --> 00:39:17.639
 a

00:39:17.639 --> 00:39:17.880
 church

 there

00:39:20.420 --> 00:39:20.579
 is

 place

00:39:20.960 --> 00:39:21.200

00:39:21.340 --> 00:39:21.480
 that

00:39:21.480 --> 00:39:21.700
 we

00:39:21.700 --> 00:39:21.920
 ought

00:39:21.920 --> 00:39:22.079
 to

 I

 am

00:39:25.559 --> 00:39:25.800
 led

00:39:25.800 --> 00:39:25.960
 to

00:39:25.960 --> 00:39:26.260

 that

00:39:26.460 --> 00:39:26.599
 it

00:39:26.599 --> 00:39:27.019
 is

00:39:27.019 --> 00:39:27.559
 okay

00:39:27.559 --> 00:39:28.599
 for

00:39:28.599 --> 00:39:28.760
 us

00:39:28.760 --> 00:39:28.980
 to

 give

 to

00:39:31.960 --> 00:39:32.260
 people

00:39:33.140 --> 00:39:33.300
 this

00:39:33.300 --> 00:39:33.440
 if

00:39:33.440 --> 00:39:33.540
 you're

00:39:33.540 --> 00:39:33.680
 not

00:39:35.220 --> 00:39:35.560
 sense

00:39:35.560 --> 00:39:35.700
 for

00:39:35.700 --> 00:39:35.780
 you

 that

00:39:36.740 --> 00:39:36.980
 has

00:39:36.980 --> 00:39:37.140
 not

00:39:38.260 --> 00:39:38.600
 because

00:39:38.600 --> 00:39:38.740
 it

00:39:38.740 --> 00:39:38.860
 is

00:39:38.860 --> 00:39:39.020
 a

00:39:39.020 --> 00:39:39.320
 symbol

00:39:39.320 --> 00:39:39.720
 right

00:39:39.720 --> 00:39:39.900
 it's

00:39:39.900 --> 00:39:40.100
 not

 administration

00:39:41.280 --> 00:39:41.860
 of

 to

00:39:42.840 --> 00:39:43.020
 you

00:39:43.020 --> 00:39:43.220
 it's

00:39:43.220 --> 00:39:43.420
 a

00:39:43.420 --> 00:39:43.760
 symbol

00:39:43.760 --> 00:39:44.480
 I'm

00:39:44.480 --> 00:39:44.780
 encouraged

00:39:44.780 --> 00:39:45.140
 by

00:39:45.140 --> 00:39:45.620
 the

 words

00:39:45.820 --> 00:39:45.980
 of

00:39:47.100 --> 00:39:47.540
 28

00:39:47.540 --> 00:39:48.940
 where

00:39:48.940 --> 00:39:49.060
 he

00:39:49.060 --> 00:39:49.280
 says

00:39:49.280 --> 00:39:49.600
 let

00:39:49.600 --> 00:39:49.740
 a

00:39:49.740 --> 00:39:50.140
 person

00:39:50.140 --> 00:39:50.760
 examine

00:39:50.760 --> 00:39:51.860
 himself

00:39:51.860 --> 00:39:53.560
 then

00:39:53.560 --> 00:39:54.560
 and

00:39:54.560 --> 00:39:54.800
 so

00:39:54.800 --> 00:39:54.980
 eat

00:39:54.980 --> 00:39:55.080
 of

00:39:56.880 --> 00:39:57.760
 and

00:39:57.760 --> 00:39:57.840
 so

00:39:57.840 --> 00:39:57.980
 we

00:39:57.980 --> 00:39:58.179
 have

00:39:58.179 --> 00:39:58.740
 Paul's

00:39:58.740 --> 00:39:59.380

00:39:59.380 --> 00:39:59.599
 here

00:39:59.599 --> 00:39:59.740
 that

00:39:59.740 --> 00:39:59.900
 we're

00:39:59.900 --> 00:40:00.200
 also

00:40:00.200 --> 00:40:00.360
 to

00:40:00.360 --> 00:40:00.519
 be

00:40:00.519 --> 00:40:01.480
 introspective

00:40:01.480 --> 00:40:01.700
 of

00:40:01.700 --> 00:40:02.539
 ourselves

00:40:02.539 --> 00:40:03.139
 that

00:40:03.139 --> 00:40:03.400
 there's

00:40:03.400 --> 00:40:03.579

00:40:05.000 --> 00:40:05.280
 in

00:40:06.760 --> 00:40:06.900
 that

00:40:06.900 --> 00:40:07.159
 somebody

00:40:07.159 --> 00:40:07.480
 may

00:40:07.480 --> 00:40:07.679
 be

00:40:07.679 --> 00:40:08.159
 excluded

00:40:10.099 --> 00:40:10.260
 being

00:40:10.260 --> 00:40:10.820
 called

00:40:10.820 --> 00:40:11.000
 a

00:40:11.000 --> 00:40:11.380
 believer

00:40:11.380 --> 00:40:11.700
 the

00:40:11.700 --> 00:40:11.900
 church

00:40:11.900 --> 00:40:12.059
 may

00:40:12.059 --> 00:40:12.260
 say

00:40:12.260 --> 00:40:12.420
 to

00:40:12.420 --> 00:40:12.679
 somebody

00:40:12.679 --> 00:40:12.820
 at

00:40:12.820 --> 00:40:13.000
 some

00:40:13.000 --> 00:40:13.340
 point

00:40:13.340 --> 00:40:13.820
 we

00:40:13.820 --> 00:40:14.079
 don't

00:40:14.079 --> 00:40:14.480
 believe

00:40:14.480 --> 00:40:14.639
 that

00:40:14.639 --> 00:40:14.840
 you're

00:40:14.840 --> 00:40:15.139
 even

00:40:15.139 --> 00:40:15.519
 in

00:40:15.519 --> 00:40:16.059
 Christ

00:40:16.059 --> 00:40:16.280
 and

00:40:16.280 --> 00:40:16.619
 therefore

00:40:16.619 --> 00:40:17.220
 you

00:40:17.220 --> 00:40:17.360
 have

00:40:17.360 --> 00:40:17.519
 no

00:40:25.440 --> 00:40:26.260
 examine

00:40:26.260 --> 00:40:27.280
 himself

00:40:27.280 --> 00:40:28.619
 or

00:40:28.619 --> 00:40:29.179
 herself

00:40:29.179 --> 00:40:30.420
 there be

00:40:30.420 --> 00:40:30.700
 some

00:40:30.700 --> 00:40:31.420
 moments

00:40:31.420 --> 00:40:31.679
 of

00:40:31.679 --> 00:40:32.740
 introspection

00:40:32.740 --> 00:40:33.139
 that you

00:40:33.139 --> 00:40:33.940
 be sure

00:40:33.940 --> 00:40:34.300
 that you're

00:40:34.300 --> 00:40:34.860
 taking

00:40:34.860 --> 00:40:35.500
 the

 Lord's

00:40:35.900 --> 00:40:36.179
 Supper

00:40:36.179 --> 00:40:37.760
 rightly

00:40:37.760 --> 00:40:39.940
 recall

00:40:39.940 --> 00:40:39.940


00:40:39.940 --> 00:40:40.800
 as a

00:40:40.800 --> 00:40:41.139
 summary

00:40:41.139 --> 00:40:42.079
 when we

00:40:42.079 --> 00:40:42.440
 celebrate

00:40:42.440 --> 00:40:42.619
 the

00:41:04.139 --> 00:41:04.299
 if

00:41:04.299 --> 00:41:04.419
 we're

00:42:47.739 --> 00:42:48.159
 something

00:42:48.159 --> 00:42:48.440
 that

00:42:48.440 --> 00:42:48.579
 we're

00:42:48.579 --> 00:42:49.019
 not

 confession

00:42:52.279 --> 00:42:52.539
 is

00:42:52.539 --> 00:42:52.779
 about

00:42:52.779 --> 00:42:53.119
 how

00:42:53.119 --> 00:42:53.360
 you've

 you've

00:42:56.259 --> 00:42:56.599
 treated

00:42:56.599 --> 00:42:56.839
 it

00:42:56.839 --> 00:42:57.059
 and

 been

00:42:57.299 --> 00:42:58.019
 dismissive

00:42:58.019 --> 00:42:58.039

00:42:58.659 --> 00:42:59.219
 Maybe

00:42:59.219 --> 00:42:59.420
 that

00:43:05.599 --> 00:43:05.799
 this

00:43:05.799 --> 00:43:05.940
 is

00:43:07.980 --> 00:43:09.199
 together

00:43:09.199 --> 00:43:10.500

00:43:10.500 --> 00:43:10.839
 celebrate

00:43:10.839 --> 00:43:11.000
 the

00:43:11.000 --> 00:43:11.199
 Lord's

00:43:11.199 --> 00:43:11.360
 supper

00:43:11.360 --> 00:43:11.519

00:43:11.519 --> 00:43:11.900
 remember

00:43:11.900 --> 00:43:12.319
 Christ's

00:43:12.319 --> 00:43:12.519
 death

00:43:12.519 --> 00:43:12.679

 benefit

00:43:13.779 --> 00:43:13.940
 of

 Christ's

00:43:14.299 --> 00:43:14.500
 death

00:43:14.500 --> 00:43:15.139
 and

00:43:15.139 --> 00:43:15.460
 our

00:43:15.460 --> 00:43:15.779
 unity

00:43:15.779 --> 00:43:15.960
 as

 church

00:43:16.440 --> 00:43:17.339
 in

00:43:17.339 --> 00:43:18.299
 Christ's

00:43:18.299 --> 00:43:18.539
 death

00:43:18.539 --> 00:43:18.759
 if you

00:43:18.759 --> 00:43:19.039
 want to

00:43:19.039 --> 00:43:19.539
 hear it

00:43:19.539 --> 00:43:20.099

 another

00:43:20.699 --> 00:43:21.119
 way

00:43:21.119 --> 00:43:21.539
 maybe

00:43:21.539 --> 00:43:21.759
 a

00:43:21.759 --> 00:43:22.039
 simpler

00:43:22.039 --> 00:43:22.480
 way

 the

00:43:24.960 --> 00:43:25.440
 past

00:43:25.440 --> 00:43:26.500
 the

00:43:26.500 --> 00:43:27.039
 implications

00:43:27.039 --> 00:43:27.360
 for

00:43:27.360 --> 00:43:27.619
 us

00:43:27.619 --> 00:43:27.839
 in

00:43:27.839 --> 00:43:27.960
 the

00:43:27.960 --> 00:43:28.360
 present

00:43:28.360 --> 00:43:29.259
 and
