WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.639 Luke chapter 1 verses 30 through 35. 00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:34.240 The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David. 00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:38.460 And he will reign over the house of Jacob forever. 00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:42.439 And of his kingdom there will be no end. 00:00:43.560 --> 00:00:45.299 Then Mary said to the angel. 00:00:45.899 --> 00:00:48.760 How can this be since I do not know a man? 00:00:48.760 --> 00:00:51.539 And the angel answered and said to her. 00:00:52.379 --> 00:00:54.799 The Holy Spirit will come upon you. 00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:58.840 And the power of the highest will overshadow you. 00:00:59.700 --> 00:01:03.200 Therefore also the Holy One who is to be born. 00:01:03.720 --> 00:01:05.880 Will be called the Son of God. 00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:08.520 The word of God for the people of God. 00:01:09.579 --> 00:01:10.760 Thanks be to God. 00:01:10.900 --> 00:01:11.520 Please be seated. 00:01:12.780 --> 00:01:14.520 The grass withers, the flower fades. 00:01:14.620 --> 00:01:17.180 But the word of the Lord stands forever. 00:01:17.180 --> 00:01:20.740 No word from God shall be void of power. 00:01:23.020 --> 00:01:24.000 Let's pray. 00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:30.120 Oh God. 00:01:30.579 --> 00:01:36.240 We ask that you please breathe life through your word as it's read and preached. 00:01:36.900 --> 00:01:39.740 We pray Lord that your Holy Spirit will minister. 00:01:41.219 --> 00:01:44.939 The work of Jesus Christ to us as people today. 00:01:45.620 --> 00:01:47.620 And that in the person of Jesus Christ. 00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:50.359 We will enjoy more and more and more. 00:01:50.879 --> 00:01:52.180 Of the life of God. 00:01:52.180 --> 00:01:52.580 Amen. 00:01:57.140 --> 00:02:04.820 The most important moments in life are often marked by both trembling and delight. 00:02:04.819 --> 00:02:07.819 Has that been the case in your experience? 00:02:08.780 --> 00:02:09.719 It's a big moment. 00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:11.620 You're shaking in your boots. 00:02:11.859 --> 00:02:13.840 And at the same time there's a great delight in it. 00:02:13.879 --> 00:02:14.900 It becomes unforgettable. 00:02:15.780 --> 00:02:17.060 Maybe it was a big performance. 00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:18.500 Or a game. 00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:22.639 For some of you maybe the first day of school. 00:02:22.819 --> 00:02:23.719 At a new place. 00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:24.780 Or in high school. 00:02:25.620 --> 00:02:26.659 First day of college. 00:02:26.699 --> 00:02:27.519 Or a new job. 00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:29.599 Certainly the wedding day. 00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:31.280 There's both trembling and delight. 00:02:33.139 --> 00:02:35.879 There was a moment for me where I'll never forget. 00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:40.359 We had just found out that we were about to have our first child. 00:02:40.500 --> 00:02:41.099 Our first son. 00:02:41.180 --> 00:02:43.159 Just like Mary found this out from the angel. 00:02:43.819 --> 00:02:45.539 And I was trembling. 00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:47.379 And also delighted. 00:02:47.539 --> 00:02:48.319 But mostly trembling. 00:02:48.599 --> 00:02:50.139 And we went into Babies R Us. 00:02:50.979 --> 00:02:53.180 And I could not stay in the store. 00:02:53.259 --> 00:02:54.159 I had to walk out. 00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:57.579 And just sit down on a bench out there next to a smoker. 00:02:57.580 --> 00:03:01.120 Because I just was so overwhelmed by those feelings. 00:03:02.219 --> 00:03:02.660 Delight. 00:03:02.880 --> 00:03:04.760 But so insufficient. 00:03:05.460 --> 00:03:06.260 How can this be? 00:03:07.820 --> 00:03:10.200 Well I've never given birth like Mary has. 00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:12.700 But this is me trying to relate. 00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:15.560 There's moments that it's both trembling and delight. 00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:18.840 And those two emotions I really think. 00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:22.080 Said the tone of this entire passage. 00:03:22.600 --> 00:03:25.480 And even though this is a unique experience. 00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:27.080 In redemptive history. 00:03:27.580 --> 00:03:29.960 Our response to Christ is the same. 00:03:31.020 --> 00:03:31.560 We tremble. 00:03:32.700 --> 00:03:33.780 And we delight. 00:03:34.540 --> 00:03:36.040 By the help of his spirit. 00:03:36.460 --> 00:03:37.260 That's my prayer. 00:03:37.480 --> 00:03:38.500 That will be the application. 00:03:39.460 --> 00:03:41.500 As we marvel at our Lord Jesus. 00:03:41.980 --> 00:03:43.900 Taking on flesh to save us. 00:03:45.260 --> 00:03:46.300 Three movements. 00:03:46.700 --> 00:03:47.280 In doing so. 00:03:47.380 --> 00:03:49.180 The first is the majesty. 00:03:50.160 --> 00:03:51.480 Focused on his holiness. 00:03:51.740 --> 00:03:52.980 The second is the might. 00:03:53.540 --> 00:03:54.439 Of Jesus. 00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:57.020 Focused on his sovereignty. 00:03:57.020 --> 00:03:59.460 And the third one is mercy. 00:04:00.460 --> 00:04:03.439 Focused on this gracious act of God to save us. 00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:05.080 So majesty, might, and mercy. 00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:07.400 So here's our first one. 00:04:08.860 --> 00:04:10.180 We first tremble. 00:04:10.920 --> 00:04:13.939 Then we delight in Christ's majesty. 00:04:13.939 --> 00:04:21.139 Listen in this passage for the words describing the holiness of Jesus Christ. 00:04:22.180 --> 00:04:23.500 This holiness. 00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:29.319 It first reaches Mary from a holy messenger. 00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:30.600 A spirit warrior. 00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:32.720 A soldier of glorious light. 00:04:33.379 --> 00:04:35.100 Visiting her. 00:04:35.100 --> 00:04:38.000 Look back at verse 19. 00:04:40.540 --> 00:04:41.980 I am Gabriel. 00:04:42.700 --> 00:04:47.140 Who stands in the presence of the holy God. 00:04:48.260 --> 00:04:51.620 In the holy throne room of the creator. 00:04:51.620 --> 00:04:52.780 The holy God. 00:04:52.780 --> 00:04:54.920 The holy God. 00:04:55.560 --> 00:04:58.240 Is reaching down to earth in a moment of time. 00:04:59.579 --> 00:05:02.280 Now look at the first few words in verse 30. 00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:04.860 Do not be afraid, Mary. 00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:06.199 She's trembling. 00:05:06.199 --> 00:05:12.819 When creatures like us encounter the holy God. 00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:13.659 We must tremble. 00:05:15.019 --> 00:05:15.939 What is holiness? 00:05:16.099 --> 00:05:17.240 I keep using this word. 00:05:17.899 --> 00:05:18.839 Divine holiness. 00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:22.039 The Hebrew word for it means set apart. 00:05:23.539 --> 00:05:25.500 God is holy means God is other. 00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:29.620 God is unlike anything creaturely. 00:05:29.620 --> 00:05:32.060 Thomas Watson commented. 00:05:32.060 --> 00:05:35.519 Holiness is the most sparkling jewel of God's crown. 00:05:35.899 --> 00:05:39.120 In fact, it's the name by which God is known. 00:05:39.939 --> 00:05:41.840 Think of all the scriptures that comes to mind. 00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:44.639 God said, I am holy. 00:05:45.879 --> 00:05:47.300 Hosea 11.9. 00:05:47.860 --> 00:05:49.800 God is the holy one. 00:05:50.300 --> 00:05:51.699 Isaiah 1.11.9. 00:05:52.139 --> 00:05:54.819 Holy and awesome is his name. 00:05:56.379 --> 00:05:57.620 1 Samuel 2.2. 00:05:57.620 --> 00:06:00.439 No one is holy like the Lord. 00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:02.740 There is no one like you. 00:06:03.699 --> 00:06:05.519 Do you get what holiness is? 00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:06.780 According to scripture. 00:06:08.100 --> 00:06:10.579 And the angel Gabriel tells her in verse 31. 00:06:10.780 --> 00:06:13.319 You will bring forth a son. 00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:16.780 She says in verse 34. 00:06:17.300 --> 00:06:17.920 How shall I? 00:06:18.420 --> 00:06:19.160 How shall this be? 00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:20.980 Since I do not know a man. 00:06:21.860 --> 00:06:23.340 See the holiness of God. 00:06:24.280 --> 00:06:26.620 In bringing this conception to Mary. 00:06:26.620 --> 00:06:27.180 Mary. 00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:29.620 It's underscored by her virginity. 00:06:30.860 --> 00:06:32.740 What she's asking. 00:06:32.980 --> 00:06:33.939 It's not unbelief. 00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:36.199 It's biological logic. 00:06:37.500 --> 00:06:38.019 And she says. 00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:39.079 I do not know. 00:06:39.139 --> 00:06:40.980 In the present continuing state. 00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:43.939 Confirming her virginity. 00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:46.199 See. 00:06:46.699 --> 00:06:48.019 God is holy. 00:06:48.699 --> 00:06:51.000 And his holiness will not be tainted. 00:06:51.500 --> 00:06:53.220 By him being born of Mary. 00:06:53.220 --> 00:06:56.460 That's what's emphasized for us in this passage. 00:06:57.900 --> 00:07:02.440 The divine holiness of the person of Jesus Christ. 00:07:03.280 --> 00:07:04.080 Marvel at this. 00:07:05.640 --> 00:07:07.280 George Swinock wrote. 00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:11.680 Divine holiness is that excellence in the divine nature. 00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:14.840 By which he acts from himself. 00:07:14.840 --> 00:07:15.860 For himself. 00:07:15.860 --> 00:07:18.920 And in perfect accord with himself. 00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:23.660 Divine nature is the only pattern of holiness. 00:07:24.460 --> 00:07:27.899 God's will is the only rule for holiness. 00:07:29.480 --> 00:07:31.060 Stephen Charnock wrote. 00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:35.600 Holiness is the beauty of all of God's attributes. 00:07:35.600 --> 00:07:38.080 This is the divine holiness. 00:07:38.580 --> 00:07:40.720 In the person of Jesus Christ. 00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:44.879 That should cause any creature like us to tremble. 00:07:46.420 --> 00:07:48.680 But notice with this wonderful revelation. 00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:49.500 After trembling. 00:07:49.640 --> 00:07:52.620 Mary could also receive this by faith. 00:07:53.700 --> 00:07:54.340 And with that. 00:07:54.939 --> 00:07:57.320 A great delight in this promise of God. 00:07:57.680 --> 00:07:58.660 That he is fulfilling. 00:07:59.080 --> 00:08:00.020 Look at verse 35. 00:08:00.780 --> 00:08:01.540 How will this be? 00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:02.000 She asked. 00:08:02.080 --> 00:08:02.660 Verse 35. 00:08:02.660 --> 00:08:04.380 The Holy Spirit. 00:08:04.820 --> 00:08:06.060 The Holy Spirit. 00:08:06.560 --> 00:08:07.600 Will come upon you. 00:08:08.780 --> 00:08:09.500 This verb. 00:08:09.640 --> 00:08:10.300 To come upon. 00:08:10.860 --> 00:08:13.320 It's the same word used in Acts 1.8. 00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:15.420 For the coming of the Holy Spirit. 00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:17.140 On the church at Pentecost. 00:08:17.760 --> 00:08:18.900 It's a powerful. 00:08:19.400 --> 00:08:19.920 Sovereign. 00:08:20.580 --> 00:08:22.280 Descent of the third person. 00:08:23.600 --> 00:08:24.600 To dwell. 00:08:25.740 --> 00:08:26.560 And to create. 00:08:28.020 --> 00:08:29.340 In Genesis 1. 00:08:29.540 --> 00:08:30.280 Verse 2. 00:08:30.280 --> 00:08:31.360 Which parallels this. 00:08:31.800 --> 00:08:32.259 Verb. 00:08:32.259 --> 00:08:33.200 We're told. 00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:34.319 That the Spirit of God. 00:08:34.519 --> 00:08:34.980 Was hovering. 00:08:35.439 --> 00:08:36.340 Over the face. 00:08:36.460 --> 00:08:37.120 Of the deep. 00:08:38.720 --> 00:08:39.759 And then verse 35. 00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:40.419 She's told. 00:08:40.600 --> 00:08:41.120 The power. 00:08:41.500 --> 00:08:42.340 Of the highest. 00:08:42.480 --> 00:08:42.679 Will. 00:08:43.439 --> 00:08:43.960 Overshadow. 00:08:44.480 --> 00:08:44.679 You. 00:08:46.059 --> 00:08:46.799 The verb. 00:08:47.039 --> 00:08:47.559 Overshadow. 00:08:47.559 --> 00:08:48.279 Is a rare. 00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:49.340 And beautiful term. 00:08:50.899 --> 00:08:51.899 In Exodus. 00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:53.139 Chapter 40. 00:08:53.200 --> 00:08:53.960 Verses 34. 00:08:54.039 --> 00:08:54.659 And 35. 00:08:55.240 --> 00:08:55.779 This term. 00:08:56.039 --> 00:08:56.600 Overshadow. 00:08:56.779 --> 00:08:57.799 Is used to describe. 00:08:58.179 --> 00:08:59.000 The Shekinah. 00:08:59.100 --> 00:08:59.799 Glory cloud. 00:08:59.799 --> 00:09:01.199 That settled upon. 00:09:01.199 --> 00:09:02.459 The tabernacle. 00:09:03.059 --> 00:09:04.679 So the use of the language. 00:09:04.679 --> 00:09:05.099 Is tying. 00:09:06.219 --> 00:09:06.939 Mary's womb. 00:09:07.979 --> 00:09:09.259 To the holy of holies. 00:09:09.459 --> 00:09:10.579 In the tabernacle. 00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:12.859 The only fitting place. 00:09:12.859 --> 00:09:13.939 For the holy one. 00:09:14.319 --> 00:09:15.059 To dwell. 00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:17.740 Therefore also. 00:09:18.139 --> 00:09:19.279 That holy one. 00:09:19.699 --> 00:09:21.039 Who is to be born. 00:09:21.039 --> 00:09:21.699 The holy one. 00:09:22.779 --> 00:09:24.179 He's going to be born. 00:09:24.299 --> 00:09:24.899 Of Mary. 00:09:25.219 --> 00:09:26.679 Highlighting the very humanity. 00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:28.259 That Christ assumed. 00:09:28.719 --> 00:09:29.240 Would be. 00:09:29.699 --> 00:09:30.360 The humanity. 00:09:30.360 --> 00:09:31.579 Of the holy one. 00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:34.639 From the point of conception. 00:09:34.839 --> 00:09:35.159 He was. 00:09:35.379 --> 00:09:36.079 Set apart. 00:09:36.339 --> 00:09:36.980 Sanctified. 00:09:37.939 --> 00:09:38.699 He was. 00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:39.599 Protected. 00:09:39.599 --> 00:09:40.379 From the corruption. 00:09:40.379 --> 00:09:41.059 Of the fall. 00:09:42.079 -->

00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:49.399 That the holy spirit. 00:09:49.699 --> 00:09:50.759 Overshadowed the virgin. 00:09:51.360 --> 00:09:52.639 Not only to manifest. 00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:53.639 The power of God. 00:09:53.720 --> 00:09:53.840 But. 00:09:54.220 --> 00:09:54.980 To sanctify. 00:09:55.100 --> 00:09:55.740 The conception. 00:09:56.659 --> 00:09:57.100 Mary too. 00:09:57.139 --> 00:09:57.679 Was a sinner. 00:09:59.080 --> 00:09:59.439 Lest. 00:09:59.559 --> 00:09:59.799 Any. 00:09:59.939 --> 00:10:00.539 Of the common. 00:10:00.679 --> 00:10:01.159 Pollution. 00:10:01.299 --> 00:10:02.159 Of the human race. 00:10:02.480 --> 00:10:02.980 Should reach. 00:10:03.059 --> 00:10:03.779 The son of God. 00:10:04.299 --> 00:10:05.080 He will be. 00:10:05.419 --> 00:10:06.299 The holy one. 00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:08.759 Mary first. 00:10:08.759 --> 00:10:09.179 Trembled. 00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:10.319 But then she could delight. 00:10:10.500 --> 00:10:11.700 In this glorious revelation. 00:10:12.360 --> 00:10:13.039 As a believer. 00:10:14.319 --> 00:10:14.779 We too. 00:10:14.899 --> 00:10:15.360 Must first. 00:10:15.539 --> 00:10:15.939 Tremble. 00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:17.480 At Christ's. 00:10:17.480 --> 00:10:18.019 Majesty. 00:10:18.139 --> 00:10:18.720 And holiness. 00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:20.940 He is holy. 00:10:21.060 --> 00:10:21.160 And. 00:10:21.759 --> 00:10:22.680 We are not holy. 00:10:23.160 --> 00:10:23.860 But in Christ. 00:10:23.940 --> 00:10:24.279 He says. 00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:25.120 You be holy. 00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:26.120 As I am holy. 00:10:27.000 --> 00:10:28.580 We fall short of his glory. 00:10:28.580 --> 00:10:29.180 On our own. 00:10:30.379 --> 00:10:31.600 And what we deserve. 00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:32.820 Is capital punishment. 00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:34.379 And eternal torment. 00:10:35.820 --> 00:10:36.560 Martin Luther. 00:10:36.920 --> 00:10:38.259 Meditated on God's holiness. 00:10:38.440 --> 00:10:38.740 He wrote. 00:10:39.180 --> 00:10:39.879 God's holiness. 00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:41.879 Is his very nature. 00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:44.559 It is that which makes him God. 00:10:44.879 --> 00:10:46.840 It is a consuming fire. 00:10:47.220 --> 00:10:48.500 To all that is. 00:10:48.939 --> 00:10:49.539 Unholy. 00:10:50.139 --> 00:10:51.279 We need to tremble. 00:10:51.519 --> 00:10:52.460 At God's holiness. 00:10:55.100 --> 00:10:56.019 Dear friends. 00:10:56.159 --> 00:10:56.799 Jesus Christ. 00:10:56.960 --> 00:10:57.799 Took on flesh. 00:10:57.919 --> 00:10:59.700 Without compromising. 00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:01.939 This divine holiness. 00:11:01.939 --> 00:11:03.299 That consumes everything. 00:11:03.779 --> 00:11:04.779 That is unholy. 00:11:05.779 --> 00:11:07.120 Not by an ounce. 00:11:07.539 --> 00:11:08.799 Was the holiness of God. 00:11:08.799 --> 00:11:09.379 Diminished. 00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:11.200 In the person of Jesus Christ. 00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:13.679 Think of the proof of this. 00:11:14.179 --> 00:11:14.960 If Jesus Christ. 00:11:15.139 --> 00:11:15.679 Were conceived. 00:11:15.919 --> 00:11:16.539 By the seed. 00:11:16.740 --> 00:11:17.759 Of a sinful man. 00:11:18.200 --> 00:11:19.100 Like by Joseph. 00:11:20.620 --> 00:11:21.439 Mary's son. 00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:23.000 Would have. 00:11:23.519 --> 00:11:24.600 Been from this corrupted. 00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:25.320 Human race. 00:11:25.500 --> 00:11:26.759 Inheriting the curses. 00:11:27.039 --> 00:11:27.899 Upon Adam. 00:11:28.220 --> 00:11:29.200 Ever since the fall. 00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:31.840 We would not have. 00:11:32.019 --> 00:11:33.039 An unblemished. 00:11:33.340 --> 00:11:33.659 Lamb. 00:11:34.720 --> 00:11:35.720 Walk to the cross. 00:11:36.899 --> 00:11:38.120 He may have died. 00:11:38.120 --> 00:11:38.940 But he would have been. 00:11:39.259 --> 00:11:39.840 Powerless. 00:11:40.139 --> 00:11:41.559 To resurrect himself. 00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:44.299 There is no greater proof. 00:11:44.299 --> 00:11:45.259 That Jesus Christ. 00:11:45.259 --> 00:11:47.159 Is the holy one. 00:11:47.360 --> 00:11:48.620 Than the empty tomb. 00:11:50.939 --> 00:11:51.840 It is proof. 00:11:51.980 --> 00:11:52.980 That he was sinless. 00:11:53.240 --> 00:11:53.740 Holy. 00:11:54.460 --> 00:11:55.580 Accepted by God. 00:11:56.460 --> 00:11:57.500 And this holy one. 00:11:57.919 --> 00:11:58.279 Lives. 00:11:58.639 --> 00:11:59.480 As our mediator. 00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:02.039 Revelation 15. 00:12:02.159 --> 00:12:02.500 4. 00:12:02.919 --> 00:12:04.039 Praises him for this. 00:12:04.700 --> 00:12:06.159 Who shall not fear you. 00:12:06.220 --> 00:12:06.779 O Lord. 00:12:07.059 --> 00:12:08.500 And glorify your name. 00:12:09.179 --> 00:12:10.000 This is revelation. 00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:11.240 The apostle John. 00:12:11.580 --> 00:12:12.279 Bearing witness. 00:12:12.279 --> 00:12:13.980 For you alone. 00:12:14.220 --> 00:12:15.480 Are holy.

00:12:25.419 --> 00:12:26.940 By the work of his spirit. 00:12:27.059 --> 00:12:28.299 We can delight in him. 00:12:29.340 --> 00:12:30.700 We can delight in knowing. 00:12:31.139 --> 00:12:33.159 We are saved by the only holy one. 00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:35.240 Charles Spurgeon wrote. 00:12:35.579 --> 00:12:36.539 Christ's holiness. 00:12:36.539 --> 00:12:38.219 Is the terror of the wicked.

00:12:58.899 --> 00:12:59.799 Is the light. 00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:01.500 That guides us to the father. 00:13:01.500 --> 00:13:03.200 Oh we can delight. 00:13:03.500 --> 00:13:04.840 In the holiness

00:13:11.659 --> 00:13:12.059 Holy. 00:13:13.460 --> 00:13:13.980 Harmless. 00:13:14.220 --> 00:13:14.899 Undefiled. 00:13:15.419 --> 00:13:15.919 Separate. 00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:16.759 From sinners. 00:13:16.940 --> 00:13:17.820 And has become. 00:13:18.179 --> 00:13:19.100 Higher than the heavens. 00:13:22.299 --> 00:13:23.480 This is so great. 00:13:25.340 --> 00:13:26.799 May the Lord give us space. 00:13:26.899 --> 00:13:27.559 To receive it. 00:13:27.559 --> 00:13:30.719 This illustration. 00:13:30.719 --> 00:13:31.459 Might be helpful. 00:13:31.559 --> 00:13:32.439 It was helpful for me. 00:13:33.539 --> 00:13:34.379 The sun. 00:13:34.819 --> 00:13:36.359 It blazes in its might. 00:13:36.500 --> 00:13:37.179 It's set apart. 00:13:37.179 --> 00:13:38.559 From every other celestial. 00:13:39.179 --> 00:13:39.619 Being. 00:13:40.859 --> 00:13:41.659 The light of the sun. 00:13:41.779 --> 00:13:42.659 Is so intense. 00:13:43.179 --> 00:13:44.119 That to look upon it. 00:13:44.139 --> 00:13:45.439 Directly with the naked eye. 00:13:45.699 --> 00:13:47.199 Will blind our eyes. 00:13:48.539 --> 00:13:50.219 Yet it is that very thing. 00:13:50.299 --> 00:13:51.279 That gives beauty. 00:13:51.659 --> 00:13:52.339 And color. 00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:53.759 To everything else. 00:13:53.959 --> 00:13:54.399 On earth. 00:13:54.399 --> 00:13:56.720 Just as the sun. 00:13:56.879

00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:04.559 He is the holiness. 00:14:04.959 --> 00:14:06.000 Of God himself. 00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:08.720 We tremble. 00:14:09.319 --> 00:14:10.259 At its intensity. 00:14:10.439 --> 00:14:11.220 Yet we recognize. 00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:12.539 That without. 00:14:12.759 --> 00:14:13.840 Its set apart purity. 00:14:13.980 --> 00:14:14.500 The world. 00:14:14.799 --> 00:14:15.799 Would be a cold. 00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:16.620 Dark. 00:14:16.919 --> 00:14:17.699 And lifeless. 00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:18.519 Void. 00:14:18.779 --> 00:14:19.100 Amen. 00:14:20.279 -->

through Jesus Christ. 00:14:27.779 --> 00:14:29.819 He was made sin for us. 00:14:30.179 --> 00:14:31.219 But Jesus was never. 00:14:31.459 --> 00:14:31.860 A sinner. 00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:35.099 Boston celebrated this. 00:14:35.579 --> 00:14:36.699 The holiness of Jesus. 00:14:36.699 --> 00:14:37.779 Was the shield. 00:14:38.139 --> 00:14:39.019 That quenched. 00:14:39.379 --> 00:14:40.240 The fiery darts. 00:14:40.240 --> 00:14:41.240 Of law's curse. 00:14:41.799 --> 00:14:42.399 Matthew Henry. 00:14:42.539 --> 00:14:43.019 He is called. 00:14:43.099 --> 00:14:43.879 The son of God. 00:14:44.159 --> 00:14:45.439 Not only because he is. 00:14:45.679 --> 00:14:47.240 Of his eternal generation. 00:14:47.579 --> 00:14:48.559 But because of his. 00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:49.860 Miraculous conception. 00:14:50.339 --> 00:14:51.519 He is the holy one. 00:14:51.519 --> 00:14:53.539 Because he is the source. 00:14:53.539 --> 00:14:54.939 Of all holiness. 00:14:55.000 --> 00:14:56.279 In his people. 00:14:57.079 --> 00:14:58.079 Apart from Christ. 00:14:58.199 --> 00:14:58.879 There can be. 00:14:59.279 --> 00:14:59.819 No holiness. 00:15:00.360 --> 00:15:01.159 In his people. 00:15:02.799 --> 00:15:04.199 Well brothers and sisters. 00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:06.939 No matter how you came in. 00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:07.840 To worship today. 00:15:08.980 --> 00:15:10.220 Let's take our eyes. 00:15:10.220 --> 00:15:11.220 Off of our own sin. 00:15:11.299 --> 00:15:11.840 And put them. 00:15:12.279 --> 00:15:12.559 Back. 00:15:12.879 --> 00:15:13.799 On Jesus Christ. 00:15:14.740 --> 00:15:15.579 His infinite. 00:15:16.259 --> 00:15:16.740 Holiness. 00:15:17.559 --> 00:15:18.559 As our savior. 00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:20.639 He is the holy one. 00:15:21.199 --> 00:15:22.059 His blood carries. 00:15:22.239 --> 00:15:22.679 Infinite. 00:15:23.179 --> 00:15:23.519 Value. 00:15:23.659 --> 00:15:24.459 To wash away. 00:15:24.879 --> 00:15:25.939 Our darkest stains. 00:15:27.519 --> 00:15:29.459 If Jesus were a mere man. 00:15:30.099 --> 00:15:31.719 He could not save us. 00:15:31.799 --> 00:15:32.359 But he is. 00:15:32.699 --> 00:15:33.379 The holy one. 00:15:33.500 --> 00:15:34.339 Born of the spirit. 00:15:34.459 --> 00:15:35.219 And his righteousness. 00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:36.259 Covers. 00:15:37.079 --> 00:15:37.859 Even our most. 00:15:38.059 --> 00:15:38.439 Wretched. 00:15:38.919 --> 00:15:39.239 Guilt. 00:15:40.759 --> 00:15:41.819 If his holiness. 00:15:41.819 --> 00:15:42.679 Were small. 00:15:43.079 --> 00:15:44.379 Our hope would be small. 00:15:45.899 --> 00:15:47.219 But Christ's holiness. 00:15:47.220 --> 00:15:48.399 Is immense. 00:15:49.860 --> 00:15:51.480 The holiness of God himself. 00:15:52.259 --> 00:15:53.519 So our hope in him. 00:15:54.040 --> 00:15:54.660 Is great. 00:15:56.340 --> 00:15:57.259 First tremble. 00:15:57.620 --> 00:15:58.379 Then delight. 00:15:58.540 --> 00:15:59.660 In Christ's. 00:15:59.660 --> 00:16:01.160 Majestic holiness. 00:16:02.519 --> 00:16:03.100 Number two. 00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:04.100 Tremble. 00:16:04.220 --> 00:16:04.720 Then delight. 00:16:04.860 --> 00:16:05.740 In Christ's. 00:16:05.740 --> 00:16:06.340 Might. 00:16:07.200 --> 00:16:08.060 The focus next. 00:16:08.160 --> 00:16:08.899 On these same verses. 00:16:09.139 --> 00:16:09.399 Is on. 00:16:09.899 --> 00:16:10.540 The sovereignty. 00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:11.540 Of Jesus Christ. 00:16:12.840 --> 00:16:13.680 In verse 32. 00:16:13.840 --> 00:16:14.259 He's called. 00:16:14.379 --> 00:16:14.920 The son. 00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:16.160 Of the highest. 00:16:16.159 --> 00:16:17.319 Do you see that? 00:16:17.980 --> 00:16:18.519 The son. 00:16:18.579 --> 00:16:19.179 Of the highest. 00:16:20.519 --> 00:16:21.559 Calvin commented. 00:16:21.719 --> 00:16:22.399 By the title. 00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:23.360 Son of the highest. 00:16:23.860 --> 00:16:24.419 The angel. 00:16:24.600 --> 00:16:25.120 Signifies. 00:16:25.279 --> 00:16:25.539 That the. 00:16:26.019 --> 00:16:26.419 Majesty. 00:16:26.419 --> 00:16:27.059 Of Christ. 00:16:27.159 --> 00:16:27.679 Is equal. 00:16:27.679 --> 00:16:28.079 To that. 00:16:28.100 --> 00:16:28.659 Of the father. 00:16:29.079 --> 00:16:30.059 And that his power. 00:16:30.059 --> 00:16:31.039 Is not borrowed. 00:16:31.439 --> 00:16:32.779 But it is his. 00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:33.860 By right. 00:16:34.219 --> 00:16:35.199 Of his divine. 00:16:35.699 --> 00:16:36.000 Nature. 00:16:38.199 --> 00:16:39.679 And the Lord God. 00:16:39.939 --> 00:16:40.519 Will give him. 00:16:40.620 --> 00:16:41.159 The throne. 00:16:41.339 --> 00:16:42.120 Of his father. 00:16:42.699 --> 00:16:43.139 David. 00:16:44.120 --> 00:16:44.879 In verse 33. 00:16:44.879 --> 00:16:46.159 And he shall reign. 00:16:48.299 --> 00:16:49.120 In the Greek. 00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:50.379 It's a future indicative. 00:16:51.220 --> 00:16:52.159 This is not just. 00:16:52.259 --> 00:16:53.059 A possibility. 00:16:53.759 --> 00:16:55.159 He shall reign. 00:16:55.639 --> 00:16:56.399 With certainty. 00:16:57.059 --> 00:16:57.939 It's a reality. 00:16:57.939 --> 00:16:59.159 That is coming true. 00:17:00.039 --> 00:17:00.919 He will reign. 00:17:00.919 --> 00:17:01.679 Over the house. 00:17:01.899 --> 00:17:02.700 Of Jacob. 00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:03.559 Forever. 00:17:04.619 --> 00:17:05.660 And of his kingdom. 00:17:06.019 --> 00:17:06.819 There will be. 00:17:07.319 --> 00:17:07.799 No end. 00:17:07.799 --> 00:17:13.159 Ken pointed out. 00:17:13.279 --> 00:17:14.000 In our Bible study. 00:17:14.220 --> 00:17:14.899 In Sunday school. 00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:15.539 God. 00:17:16.139 --> 00:17:16.619 Keeps. 00:17:16.740 --> 00:17:17.460 His promises. 00:17:19.099 --> 00:17:19.899 And you all. 00:17:20.139 --> 00:17:20.519 Have been. 00:17:20.839 --> 00:17:21.579 Studying the book. 00:17:21.619 --> 00:17:22.240 Of first Samuel. 00:17:22.440 --> 00:17:23.519 You know this promise. 00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:25.779 This is called. 00:17:25.859 --> 00:17:26.500 The Davidic. 00:17:26.700 --> 00:17:27.000 Covenant. 00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:30.380 God. 00:17:30.380 --> 00:17:31.740 Will rule over his people. 00:17:31.880 --> 00:17:33.160 He will be the Lord of his people. 00:17:33.259 --> 00:17:34.259 Forever and ever and ever. 00:17:34.500 --> 00:17:35.500 How will he do this? 00:17:36.039 --> 00:17:37.160 He uses language. 00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:38.119 Attached to. 00:17:38.220 --> 00:17:38.799 To David. 00:17:38.900 --> 00:17:39.380 The God who. 00:17:39.579 --> 00:17:41.079 The king who God chose. 00:17:41.440 --> 00:17:42.440 And put over to rule. 00:17:42.480 --> 00:17:43.299 As his mediator. 00:17:43.680 --> 00:17:44.460 As the servant. 00:17:45.299 --> 00:17:46.220 Now David's a sinner. 00:17:46.400 --> 00:17:46.839 He's. 00:17:47.059 --> 00:17:48.160 Has no divine nature. 00:17:48.259 --> 00:17:49.420 He's incapable of ruling. 00:17:49.559 --> 00:17:50.420 Perfectly and well. 00:17:50.759 --> 00:17:51.740 And as goes the kingdom. 00:17:51.900 --> 00:17:52.380 So goes. 00:17:52.799 --> 00:17:53.519 As goes the king. 00:17:53.599 --> 00:17:54.339 So goes the kingdom. 00:17:54.339 --> 00:17:54.980 And with David. 00:17:54.980 --> 00:17:56.200 It becomes an utter failure. 00:17:56.839 --> 00:17:57.779 And so this is God. 00:17:57.880 --> 00:17:59.480 Being true to all of his promises. 00:17:59.960 --> 00:18:01.099 Piled up on the mediator. 00:18:01.500 --> 00:18:02.960 The fulfillment of the Davidic. 00:18:03.259 --> 00:18:03.620 Covenant. 00:18:04.980 --> 00:18:06.059 Jesus Christ came. 00:18:07.420 --> 00:18:08.720 And who is it that rules. 00:18:08.900 --> 00:18:10.400 With the promises of a kingdom. 00:18:11.440 --> 00:18:12.920 It's the son of the highest. 00:18:13.160 --> 00:18:13.660 Himself. 00:18:14.819 --> 00:18:16.940 Jesus Christ is the rightful heir. 00:18:17.220 --> 00:18:18.420 To the eternal throne. 00:18:18.740 --> 00:18:19.500 Whose power. 00:18:19.860 --> 00:18:21.440 Extends over all creation. 00:18:21.440 --> 00:18:23.319 Through all the ages. 00:18:24.980 --> 00:18:27.220 Because he is the uncreated creator. 00:18:27.779 --> 00:18:28.400 His might. 00:18:28.900 --> 00:18:29.539 Is derived. 00:18:29.940 --> 00:18:31.059 By his divine nature. 00:18:31.440 --> 00:18:32.380 Just like his holiness. 00:18:34.079 --> 00:18:35.039 Jesus Christ. 00:18:35.400 --> 00:18:35.880 Possesses. 00:18:36.519 --> 00:18:37.680 The omnipotence. 00:18:37.900 --> 00:18:38.620 Of the creator. 00:18:38.759 --> 00:18:39.039 God. 00:18:39.500 --> 00:18:40.620 There are no bounds. 00:18:40.960 --> 00:18:41.640 To his power. 00:18:43.960 --> 00:18:45.099 So in declaring. 00:18:45.279 --> 00:18:46.180 The kingdom of heaven. 00:18:46.339 --> 00:18:47.059 Come to earth. 00:18:47.120 --> 00:18:48.200 In the person of Jesus. 00:18:48.759 --> 00:18:50.200 It's not by the permission. 00:18:50.200 --> 00:18:50.799 Of men. 00:18:51.539 --> 00:18:52.920 It's by the decree. 00:18:53.240 --> 00:18:53.880 Of God. 00:18:53.880 --> 00:18:53.880 00:18:55.040 --> 00:18:56.000 Psalm 89. 00:18:56.100 --> 00:18:56.880 Verse 27. 00:18:57.460 --> 00:18:58.080 God says. 00:18:58.260 --> 00:18:59.880 I will make him my firstborn. 00:19:00.340 --> 00:19:01.880 The highest of the kings. 00:19:02.040 --> 00:19:02.680 Of the earth. 00:19:03.980 --> 00:19:05.540 And our confession of faith. 00:19:05.620 --> 00:19:06.240 In chapter 8. 00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:06.700 Verse 1. 00:19:06.820 --> 00:19:07.360 Summarizes. 00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:08.740 The teaching of scripture. 00:19:09.300 --> 00:19:10.560 It pleased God. 00:19:10.880 --> 00:19:12.200 In his eternal purpose. 00:19:12.520 --> 00:19:13.500 To choose. 00:19:13.620 --> 00:19:14.360 And ordain. 00:19:14.480 --> 00:19:15.220 The Lord Jesus. 00:19:15.620 --> 00:19:16.980 His only begotten son. 00:19:16.980 --> 00:19:18.420 To be the king. 00:19:18.900 --> 00:19:19.760 And the head. 00:19:20.300 --> 00:19:20.960 And the savior. 00:19:20.960 --> 00:19:21.720 Of the church. 00:19:21.720 --> 00:19:22.579 The heir. 00:19:22.680 --> 00:19:23.559 Of all things. 00:19:23.700 --> 00:19:24.559 And the judge. 00:19:24.880 --> 00:19:25.779 Of all the world. 00:19:28.940 --> 00:19:30.120 Jesus rules. 00:19:31.799 --> 00:19:33.500 As the king of kings already. 00:19:34.940 --> 00:19:36.259 He rules over all. 00:19:36.319 --> 00:19:38.000 And he will one day judge all. 00:19:39.299 --> 00:19:40.779 We may ignore his laws. 00:19:41.319 --> 00:19:43.059 But we cannot escape. 00:19:43.059 --> 00:19:43.759 His kingdom. 00:19:45.299 --> 00:19:46.420 There's no corner. 00:19:46.420 --> 00:19:47.519 Of the universe. 00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:49.160 Where the authority. 00:19:49.160 --> 00:19:50.180 Of Jesus Christ. 00:19:50.299 --> 00:19:51.079 Does not reach. 00:19:51.720 --> 00:19:53.920 If we refuse Jesus. 00:19:53.920 --> 00:19:55.120 As a savior now. 00:19:56.319 --> 00:19:57.319 We're choosing. 00:19:57.519 --> 00:19:58.180 To face him. 00:19:58.259 --> 00:19:59.019 As judge. 00:19:59.259 --> 00:19:59.519 Later. 00:20:00.700 --> 00:20:01.600 We must tremble. 00:20:02.100 --> 00:20:02.900 At the thought. 00:20:02.940 --> 00:20:04.339 Of standing before the king. 00:20:04.500 --> 00:20:05.279 Whose reign. 00:20:05.360 --> 00:20:06.279 Has no end. 00:20:07.460 --> 00:20:08.600 And being found. 00:20:08.759 --> 00:20:09.279 Outside. 00:20:09.620 --> 00:20:10.319 Of the grace. 00:20:10.400 --> 00:20:11.440 He's so freely offered. 00:20:11.440 --> 00:20:11.980 To us. 00:20:13.700 --> 00:20:15.420 Let us kiss the son. 00:20:15.960 --> 00:20:16.940 Lest he be angry. 00:20:16.940 --> 00:20:17.720 And we perish. 00:20:17.940 --> 00:20:18.519 By the way. 00:20:19.360 --> 00:20:19.880 Psalm 2. 00:20:19.880 --> 00:20:21.500 Daniel 7. 00:20:21.500 --> 00:20:21.980 14. 00:20:21.980 --> 00:20:22.820 His dominion. 00:20:22.820 --> 00:20:24.640 Is an everlasting dominion. 00:20:24.640 --> 00:20:26.380 Which shall not pass away. 00:20:26.380 --> 00:20:27.400 And his kingdom. 00:20:27.520 --> 00:20:27.860 The one. 00:20:28.060 --> 00:20:28.820 Which shall not. 00:20:28.820 --> 00:20:30.280 Be destroyed. 00:20:32.600 --> 00:20:34.120 Charles Spurgeon commented. 00:20:34.120 --> 00:20:34.680 The kingdom. 00:20:34.940 --> 00:20:36.300 Kingdoms of this world. 00:20:36.480 --> 00:20:38.020 Are but as the foam. 00:20:38.020 --> 00:20:39.040 Upon the wave. 00:20:39.420 --> 00:20:41.040 But the kingdom of Christ. 00:20:41.040 --> 00:20:41.840 Is the rock. 00:20:42.060 --> 00:20:43.800 That defies the tide. 00:20:44.660 --> 00:20:45.620 He shall reign. 00:20:45.620 --> 00:20:47.240 When the sun grows dim. 00:20:47.240 --> 00:20:48.839 And the stars fall. 00:20:48.839 --> 00:20:50.339 Like autumn leaves. 00:20:51.079 --> 00:20:52.859 That's the end of Spurgeon's quote. 00:20:53.680 --> 00:20:54.519 We must tremble. 00:20:54.740 --> 00:20:55.700 At the majesty. 00:20:55.839 --> 00:20:56.400 The power. 00:20:57.140 --> 00:20:57.680 The might. 00:20:57.900 --> 00:20:58.579 The sovereignty. 00:20:58.720 --> 00:20:59.599 Of Jesus Christ. 00:21:01.220 --> 00:21:02.359 We must see him. 00:21:02.420 --> 00:21:03.099 For who he is. 00:21:04.559 --> 00:21:05.799 And after trembling. 00:21:06.259 --> 00:21:08.099 We behold God's grace. 00:21:08.859 --> 00:21:09.839 In Jesus Christ. 00:21:09.940 --> 00:21:10.400 To us. 00:21:10.799 --> 00:21:11.740 And we delight. 00:21:12.180 --> 00:21:13.279 In this very power. 00:21:13.279 --> 00:21:16.619 The throne. 00:21:16.619 --> 00:21:18.039 Of his father David. 00:21:19.500 --> 00:21:20.619 2 Samuel 7. 00:21:21.139 --> 00:21:21.680 16. 00:21:21.920 --> 00:21:22.579 God promised. 00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:23.339 Your house. 00:21:23.700 --> 00:21:24.480 And your kingdom. 00:21:25.200 --> 00:21:26.139 Shall be established. 00:21:26.539 --> 00:21:26.899 Forever. 00:21:27.480 --> 00:21:28.099 Before you. 00:21:29.559 --> 00:21:30.980 Jesus is the true king. 00:21:30.980 --> 00:21:32.339 Who restores the fallen. 00:21:32.700 --> 00:21:33.639 House of David. 00:21:34.240 --> 00:21:35.160 Ruling not over. 00:21:35.480 --> 00:21:36.819 A mere earthly territory. 00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:37.759 But over the hearts. 00:21:37.759 --> 00:21:38.420 Of his people. 00:21:39.740 --> 00:21:41.539 And extending this empire. 00:21:41.720 --> 00:21:42.619 To all nations. 00:21:43.279 --> 00:21:44.240 Isaiah 9. 00:21:44.359 --> 00:21:44.639 7. 00:21:44.720 --> 00:21:45.779 Is fulfilled in Jesus. 00:21:46.359 --> 00:21:47.879 Of the increase of his government. 00:21:48.200 --> 00:21:48.819 And peace. 00:21:48.940 --> 00:21:50.079 There will be no end. 00:21:50.399 --> 00:21:51.839 Upon the throne of David. 00:21:52.099 --> 00:21:53.200 And over his kingdom. 00:21:53.399 --> 00:21:54.279 To order it. 00:21:54.359 --> 00:21:55.319 And establish it. 00:21:55.500 --> 00:21:56.319 With judgment. 00:21:56.700 --> 00:21:57.500 And righteousness. 00:21:58.579 --> 00:21:59.920 This is the wonderful. 00:22:00.180 --> 00:22:01.220 Rule of Christ. 00:22:01.359 --> 00:22:02.420 That we can rest in. 00:22:04.039 --> 00:22:05.519 Nehemiah Cox commented. 00:22:05.519 --> 00:22:06.480 The covenant. 00:22:06.980 --> 00:22:07.680 Made with David. 00:22:08.000 --> 00:22:08.519 Was a typical. 00:22:09.240 --> 00:22:10.000 Or typological. 00:22:10.359 --> 00:22:10.519 Representation. 00:22:11.220 --> 00:22:12.299 Of the spiritual kingdom. 00:22:12.299 --> 00:22:13.299 Of Christ. 00:22:13.960 --> 00:22:15.319 Jesus is the true David. 00:22:15.319 --> 00:22:16.839 The beloved of God. 00:22:16.940 --> 00:22:18.559 Who sits upon the throne of grace. 00:22:18.720 --> 00:22:20.379 To order all things. 00:22:20.779 --> 00:22:21.399 For the good. 00:22:21.720 --> 00:22:22.559 Of his elect. 00:22:25.339 --> 00:22:26.960 Our Lord Jesus rules. 00:22:28.960 --> 00:22:30.119 Not as a man. 00:22:31.079 --> 00:22:32.299 Not even as angels. 00:22:33.460 --> 00:22:34.319 But he rules. 00:22:34.539 --> 00:22:35.639 As God the creator. 00:22:36.259 --> 00:22:37.799 Who sends forth his spirit. 00:22:37.799 --> 00:22:39.119 Over the hearts. 00:22:39.119 --> 00:22:39.759 Of his people. 00:22:41.819 --> 00:22:42.899 Think of that power. 00:22:42.899 --> 00:22:43.720 Working in us. 00:22:43.720 --> 00:22:44.419 As Christians. 00:22:44.419 --> 00:22:45.700 When Jesus is truly. 00:22:45.700 --> 00:22:46.919 The king in our lives. 00:22:47.559 --> 00:22:48.339 Bringing everything. 00:22:48.339 --> 00:22:49.079 Into order. 00:22:49.559 --> 00:22:50.759 As a good king does. 00:22:53.399 --> 00:22:55.119 This is the power of God. 00:22:55.279 --> 00:22:56.839 Who created the universe. 00:22:57.220 --> 00:22:58.980 Who upholds all things. 00:22:58.980 --> 00:23:02.539 He is the one. 00:23:02.539 --> 00:23:03.839 Who rules in the lives. 00:23:03.839 --> 00:23:04.460 Of his people. 00:23:05.460 --> 00:23:06.579 There is no sin. 00:23:07.480 --> 00:23:08.460 Past or present. 00:23:08.519 --> 00:23:08.960 Or future. 00:23:09.599 --> 00:23:11.380 That he cannot overcome. 00:23:13.200 --> 00:23:14.500 There is no disorder. 00:23:14.660 --> 00:23:15.860 That remains in our flesh. 00:23:15.860 --> 00:23:16.740 In our minds even. 00:23:17.220 --> 00:23:18.740 That he cannot heal. 00:23:19.460 --> 00:23:20.059 Or curb. 00:23:20.220 --> 00:23:21.160 Or protect us from. 00:23:22.079 --> 00:23:23.220 There is no attack. 00:23:23.319 --> 00:23:23.900 From the enemy. 00:23:25.000 --> 00:23:26.140 That will overcome. 00:23:26.220 --> 00:23:26.880 His sovereign. 00:23:27.140 --> 00:23:27.960 Loving care. 00:23:27.960 --> 00:23:28.680 For his people. 00:23:29.660 --> 00:23:31.059 He is almighty. 00:23:31.660 --> 00:23:32.640 And we can delight. 00:23:32.759 --> 00:23:33.440 In his power. 00:23:34.400 --> 00:23:35.700 And though we do suffer. 00:23:36.799 --> 00:23:37.579 And there are thorns. 00:23:37.579 --> 00:23:38.240 In our flesh. 00:23:38.240 --> 00:23:39.019 In this life. 00:23:39.620 --> 00:23:40.680 It does not diminish. 00:23:40.680 --> 00:23:41.319 His power. 00:23:41.319 --> 00:23:42.140 Or his might. 00:23:44.480 --> 00:23:45.460 We tremble. 00:23:45.600 --> 00:23:46.400 At his power. 00:23:47.200 --> 00:23:47.880 And we delight. 00:23:48.680 --> 00:23:49.660 That Jesus Christ. 00:23:49.819 --> 00:23:50.120 Is. 00:23:50.819 --> 00:23:51.740 The almighty God. 00:23:51.840 --> 00:23:52.279 Himself. 00:23:54.680 --> 00:23:55.539 Well our third. 00:23:55.640 --> 00:23:56.319 And final movement. 00:23:56.460 --> 00:23:56.940 For today. 00:23:57.960 --> 00:23:59.360 Is to focus on. 00:23:59.360 --> 00:23:59.980 His mercy. 00:24:01.039 --> 00:24:01.720 On this. 00:24:01.880 --> 00:24:02.480 Incarnation. 00:24:02.480 --> 00:24:03.600 As God's gracious. 00:24:03.600 --> 00:24:04.120 Act. 00:24:04.319 --> 00:24:04.819 To save. 00:24:04.880 --> 00:24:05.519 And to redeem. 00:24:07.200 --> 00:24:08.000 When we are. 00:24:08.319 --> 00:24:09.620 Facing our holy creator. 00:24:10.319 --> 00:24:11.160 By faith. 00:24:11.259 --> 00:24:11.779 We tremble. 00:24:11.860 --> 00:24:12.400 At our sin. 00:24:12.480 --> 00:24:13.180 In his presence. 00:24:14.880 --> 00:24:16.019 But then we behold. 00:24:16.120 --> 00:24:16.819 What he has done. 00:24:16.880 --> 00:24:17.400 In the person. 00:24:17.440 --> 00:24:18.299 Of Jesus Christ. 00:24:18.340 --> 00:24:19.180 And we delight. 00:24:19.559 --> 00:24:20.319 In his mercy. 00:24:21.680 --> 00:24:22.160 Notice. 00:24:22.160 --> 00:24:22.960 God's grace. 00:24:22.960 --> 00:24:23.680 In the person. 00:24:23.740 --> 00:24:24.200 Of Jesus. 00:24:24.660 --> 00:24:25.579 In these wonderful. 00:24:25.579 --> 00:24:26.179 Verses. 00:24:27.319 --> 00:24:28.099 God the son. 00:24:28.240 --> 00:24:28.500 Took. 00:24:28.819 --> 00:24:29.720 Upon himself. 00:24:29.720 --> 00:24:30.879 A human nature.

00:24:36.740 Because he is holy. 00:24:37.059 --> 00:24:38.199 He accomplished this. 00:24:38.259 --> 00:24:39.460 Because he is powerful. 00:24:40.240 --> 00:24:41.439 And in verse 30. 00:24:41.539 --> 00:24:42.359 He tells Mary. 00:24:42.899 --> 00:24:43.839 You have found. 00:24:44.359 --> 00:24:44.720 Favor. 00:24:45.139 --> 00:24:45.779 With God. 00:24:47.059 --> 00:24:48.259 The word favor. 00:24:48.759 --> 00:24:49.599 In the Greek. 00:24:49.720 --> 00:24:50.419 Is charis. 00:24:50.980 --> 00:24:51.980 You have found. 00:24:52.539 --> 00:24:52.899 Grace. 00:24:52.900 --> 00:24:52.980 Grace. 00:24:53.300 --> 00:24:53.920 With God. 00:24:58.540 --> 00:24:59.680 This is not something. 00:24:59.680 --> 00:25:00.259 Mary did. 00:25:00.380 --> 00:25:00.880 To earn it. 00:25:01.640 --> 00:25:02.900 It was God's grace. 00:25:03.380 --> 00:25:04.160 Finding her. 00:25:05.500 --> 00:25:06.200 God said this. 00:25:06.240 --> 00:25:07.560 At another significant moment. 00:25:07.660 --> 00:25:08.560 In redemptive history. 00:25:09.280 --> 00:25:10.000 He told Noah. 00:25:10.280 --> 00:25:11.580 After looking up on the earth. 00:25:11.680 --> 00:25:11.840 Noah. 00:25:11.960 -->

00:25:16.940 That deserve wrath. 00:25:17.019 --> 00:25:17.500 And judgment. 00:25:18.200 --> 00:25:19.000 But God's grace. 00:25:19.180 --> 00:25:19.960 Has found you. 00:25:19.960 --> 00:25:25.920 In the incarnation. 00:25:26.920 --> 00:25:29.380 We see how unmerited favor. 00:25:29.380 --> 00:25:30.220 From God. 00:25:31.880 --> 00:25:33.220 Is poured out. 00:25:33.700 --> 00:25:34.940 From

00:25:44.779 --> 00:25:45.799 In redemptive history. 00:25:46.360 --> 00:25:47.759 You will conceive in your womb. 00:25:48.160 --> 00:25:49.299 And bring forth the son. 00:25:49.299 --> 00:25:51.480 And shall call his name. 00:25:52.039 --> 00:25:52.419 Jesus. 00:25:54.279 --> 00:25:56.139 God even picked the name. 00:25:56.399 --> 00:25:57.200 Of the redeemer. 00:25:58.180 --> 00:25:59.079 It's Jesus. 00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:00.839 Yeshua. 00:26:01.919 --> 00:26:02.899 It literally means. 00:26:03.059 --> 00:26:03.619 Jehovah. 00:26:04.180 --> 00:26:05.240 God himself. 00:26:05.440 --> 00:26:05.940 The God. 00:26:06.240 --> 00:26:07.319 That keeps his covenant. 00:26:07.500 --> 00:26:08.480 Throughout all of scripture. 00:26:09.240 --> 00:26:09.799 Jehovah. 00:26:10.079 --> 00:26:10.500 Is. 00:26:10.960 --> 00:26:11.519 Salvation. 00:26:12.659 --> 00:26:13.899 That's what Jesus means. 00:26:14.980 --> 00:26:16.399 This name was not chosen. 00:26:16.399 --> 00:26:17.279 By Joseph. 00:26:17.279 --> 00:26:17.859 For Mary. 00:26:17.859 --> 00:26:19.740 But God himself. 00:26:19.740 --> 00:26:20.419 Said this. 00:26:21.199 --> 00:26:22.619 Lift up the name of Jesus. 00:26:22.759 --> 00:26:23.459 That God. 00:26:23.579 --> 00:26:24.519 Is salvation. 00:26:26.599 --> 00:26:27.579 Lift it up. 00:26:28.019 --> 00:26:29.039 Declare his name. 00:26:29.939 -->

sins. 00:26:36.779 --> 00:26:37.279 Acts 4. 00:26:37.319 --> 00:26:37.639 12. 00:26:37.759 --> 00:26:38.899 Their salvation. 00:26:39.740 --> 00:26:41.759 Is not found in any other. 00:26:41.759 --> 00:26:43.399 There is no other name. 00:26:43.740 --> 00:26:44.419 Under heaven. 00:26:44.539 --> 00:26:45.319 Given among men. 00:26:45.319 --> 00:26:47.319 By which we must be saved. 00:26:49.319 --> 00:26:50.500 God did not send. 00:26:50.579 --> 00:26:51.599 A mere philosopher. 00:26:52.700 --> 00:26:54.039 Or a good teacher. 00:26:55.639 --> 00:26:56.720 To help us. 00:26:57.379 --> 00:26:58.639 He sent his own son. 00:26:59.200 --> 00:27:00.879 To be conceived in the womb. 00:27:00.960 --> 00:27:01.419 And born. 00:27:01.659 --> 00:27:02.419 Of a woman. 00:27:05.039 --> 00:27:05.939 This is because. 00:27:06.079 --> 00:27:07.659 Our condition is so lost. 00:27:09.059 --> 00:27:10.179 Think of the depths. 00:27:10.180 --> 00:27:10.920 That God went. 00:27:10.920 --> 00:27:11.960 To redeem us. 00:27:13.140 --> 00:27:13.980 The incarnation. 00:27:13.980 --> 00:27:15.080 Is the loudest. 00:27:15.080 --> 00:27:15.840 Alarm clock. 00:27:15.840 --> 00:27:16.600 In the universe. 00:27:16.720 --> 00:27:17.500 As someone put it. 00:27:17.900 --> 00:27:18.680 It tells you. 00:27:18.820 --> 00:27:19.560 That you are. 00:27:19.900 --> 00:27:20.440 So lost. 00:27:20.560 --> 00:27:21.120 That nothing. 00:27:21.560 --> 00:27:21.880 Less. 00:27:22.840 --> 00:27:24.039 Than God himself. 00:27:24.740 --> 00:27:26.060 Taking on a body. 00:27:26.060 --> 00:27:27.220 To
