WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:16.699 Hi everyone, so the reading today is from Matthew chapter 1 verses 18 to 25. 00:00:16.699 --> 00:00:34.859 Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit. 00:00:34.859 --> 00:00:54.939 And her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly. But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 00:00:54.939 --> 00:01:00.839 She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins. 00:01:01.679 --> 00:01:11.599 All this took place to fulfil what the Lord had spoken by the prophet. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which means God with us. 00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:22.519 When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him. He took his wife, but knew her not until she had given birth to a son, and he called his name Jesus. 00:01:24.939 --> 00:01:33.519 God to know. My name is Bo, and I am one of the elders of the church. 00:01:38.739 --> 00:01:43.039 Today's message, the title is Bringing Many Sons to Glory. 00:01:43.979 --> 00:01:54.000 This title, while we are doing Matthew 1, verses 18 to 25, this title is taken from Hebrews 2, chapter 2, verse 10. 00:01:54.000 --> 00:02:11.460 In this verse, only sons are mentioned. 00:02:11.460 --> 00:02:12.360 What happens to daughters? 00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:23.380 Because in the New Testament, sons represent those who are to inherit, or having the right for inheritance. 00:02:24.100 --> 00:02:26.860 And that's why everyone who is in Christ are sons. 00:02:27.300 --> 00:02:29.540 Similarly, we are all daughters in Christ as well. 00:02:30.060 --> 00:02:34.360 Daughters are used in the Bible as people who, like daughters of Jerusalem, 00:02:34.940 --> 00:02:40.380 just people who depend on God for their life or for their significance. 00:02:40.379 --> 00:02:43.879 So, it's not so much gender-based. 00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:45.319 Okay. 00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:50.740 And I've been thinking, like, last, when I first started this, preparing the sermon, 00:02:50.939 --> 00:02:55.379 I was thinking the title, like, A Better Life or Bitter Life. 00:02:56.180 --> 00:03:02.939 But then, towards the last weekend, it came to me that this could be the title I should use, 00:03:03.180 --> 00:03:05.359 but I wasn't sure whether I could cover it. 00:03:05.419 --> 00:03:07.000 It's quite a big title. 00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:16.419 But then, last Sunday, for the household song, both morning and afternoon service, 00:03:17.379 --> 00:03:20.000 the household song was the same. 00:03:20.520 --> 00:03:23.259 It was chosen by two different people independently, 00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:27.659 and it was, how deep the Father's love for us. 00:03:27.659 --> 00:03:30.840 So, the first verse says, 00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:33.219 How deep the Father's love for us, 00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:35.159 how vast beyond all measure, 00:03:36.500 --> 00:03:43.199 that he should give his only son to make a wretch his treasure. 00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:47.599 How great is the pain of sharing loss, 00:03:47.839 --> 00:03:49.479 the Father turns his face away, 00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:52.879 as wounds which mar the chosen one, 00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:55.079 bring many sons to glory. 00:03:55.819 --> 00:04:00.839 So, I thought, well, since those two people chose the song, 00:04:01.299 --> 00:04:10.359 that would confirm for me to speak on this title for today's sermon. 00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:12.720 Shall we pray before we begin? 00:04:16.660 --> 00:04:20.819 Oh, Father God, we thank you for the grace that is awaiting us, 00:04:21.540 --> 00:04:24.180 even as we read your word and listen to you. 00:04:25.060 --> 00:04:29.439 And we also thank you for reminding us that we are made in your image. 00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:33.600 Even though we see everywhere in the world the shadow remains, 00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:39.700 we know that you are doing something to restore us and restore your creation. 00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:43.640 And we await that day to come. 00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:47.120 And as we do so, help us to live a life worthy of calling. 00:04:47.580 --> 00:04:48.240 Thank you, Father. 00:04:48.340 --> 00:04:49.560 We pray in Jesus' name. 00:04:50.300 --> 00:04:50.560 Amen. 00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:51.560 Amen. 00:04:54.360 --> 00:04:56.420 On 17th April 1975, 00:04:58.819 --> 00:05:00.780 the inhabitants of Nong Peng, 00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:02.579 that is the capital of Cambodia, 00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:04.399 they were very excited. 00:05:04.780 --> 00:05:06.920 They were celebrating on the street 00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:10.699 because they've been fighting 00:05:10.699 --> 00:05:14.220 with their own government for a long time. 00:05:14.220 --> 00:05:19.560 the government that was under King Suhano, 00:05:19.760 --> 00:05:21.200 that is very corrupted. 00:05:23.060 --> 00:05:23.540 And so, 00:05:24.060 --> 00:05:26.620 people, they are not happy. 00:05:26.740 --> 00:05:28.660 They were looking for a better government, 00:05:28.860 --> 00:05:29.560 a better life. 00:05:30.520 --> 00:05:31.060 And so, 00:05:31.860 --> 00:05:33.340 for years before that day, 00:05:34.440 --> 00:05:37.600 Pol Pot was leading the rebellion 00:05:37.600 --> 00:05:40.080 with the communist army 00:05:40.080 --> 00:05:42.600 under the help of Chinese communists. 00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:43.560 So, 00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:44.220 eventually, 00:05:44.860 --> 00:05:45.340 and finally, 00:05:45.520 --> 00:05:47.220 they won the war 00:05:47.220 --> 00:05:48.720 and toppled the king. 00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:52.800 And people were very happy on that day. 00:05:54.340 --> 00:05:54.560 So, 00:05:55.320 --> 00:05:57.460 Pol Pot and his army marched into the city. 00:05:58.660 --> 00:05:59.760 And on the same day, 00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:02.800 Pol Pot executed 800 people, 00:06:03.280 --> 00:06:05.580 all those top officials of the whole government. 00:06:06.220 --> 00:06:06.980 And the same day, 00:06:06.980 --> 00:06:10.560 he ordered 2.5 million of the inhabitants of Nong Peng 00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:13.220 to march out to the rural area 00:06:13.220 --> 00:06:17.000 because he didn't trust any of those people. 00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:18.660 And so, 00:06:18.740 --> 00:06:19.620 many people died 00:06:19.620 --> 00:06:21.920 as they went out under the hot sun 00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:23.920 and with very little provision. 00:06:24.899 --> 00:06:26.439 And over the next four and a half, 00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:28.279 four years and four months, 00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:30.019 one in four of the population 00:06:30.019 --> 00:06:34.259 died because of Pol Pot's regime. 00:06:34.259 --> 00:06:40.439 And there was no education 00:06:40.439 --> 00:06:43.099 over those four years and four months. 00:06:43.219 --> 00:06:43.939 No industry, 00:06:44.120 --> 00:06:44.779 no development. 00:06:46.719 --> 00:06:48.339 And it took 20 years 00:06:48.339 --> 00:06:51.079 after Pol Pot was toppled 00:06:51.079 --> 00:06:52.019 for the nation 00:06:52.019 --> 00:06:53.360 to start developing again. 00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:53.899 So, 00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:56.819 it's quite a big blow 00:06:56.819 --> 00:06:58.519 to the whole nation. 00:06:58.519 --> 00:07:01.740 What happened to Pol Pot's vision? 00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:03.159 You see that at the beginning, 00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:03.719 Pol Pot, 00:07:03.919 --> 00:07:06.839 I think he did want to give people of Cambodia 00:07:06.839 --> 00:07:07.680 a better life. 00:07:08.419 --> 00:07:10.539 But he ended up giving them death. 00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:13.519 The Cambodians' dream of a better life 00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:14.259 became a nightmare. 00:07:15.180 --> 00:07:16.120 The problem was that 00:07:16.120 --> 00:07:17.699 Pol Pot tasted power. 00:07:18.899 --> 00:07:20.000 We all like to have power. 00:07:20.799 --> 00:07:22.319 Power means that we can achieve 00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:23.659 the desire of our hearts. 00:07:24.819 --> 00:07:26.039 Pol Pot also had the backing 00:07:26.040 --> 00:07:27.900 of the communist ideology. 00:07:28.760 --> 00:07:29.700 Pol Pot was convinced 00:07:29.700 --> 00:07:31.260 that communism was a way 00:07:31.260 --> 00:07:33.540 to achieve utopia for his people. 00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:35.740 He therefore needed to kill 00:07:35.740 --> 00:07:36.939 all the potential threats 00:07:36.939 --> 00:07:38.180 to protect himself 00:07:38.180 --> 00:07:39.660 and the ideology. 00:07:41.520 --> 00:07:42.780 Human hearts are both 00:07:42.780 --> 00:07:43.740 short-sighted 00:07:43.740 --> 00:07:45.620 and self-centered. 00:07:46.320 --> 00:07:47.180 We do anything 00:07:47.180 --> 00:07:48.420 to protect our own interests, 00:07:48.960 --> 00:07:50.000 often not considering 00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:51.000 the things we do 00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:52.700 may eventually destroy us. 00:07:53.080 --> 00:07:53.980 When we all do that, 00:07:54.080 --> 00:07:55.879 even the food that we eat right now 00:07:55.879 --> 00:07:57.319 could be destroying us 00:07:57.319 --> 00:07:57.920 slowly. 00:07:58.040 --> 00:07:58.680 We don't even know 00:07:58.680 --> 00:07:59.839 because we enjoy doing it. 00:08:00.319 --> 00:08:01.379 Or anything that we do, 00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:02.579 the movie that we watch, 00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:05.879 the work that we do, 00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:08.620 they all can be 00:08:08.620 --> 00:08:10.819 damaging to our bodies 00:08:10.819 --> 00:08:12.219 or our souls. 00:08:12.379 --> 00:08:13.819 We just didn't know 00:08:13.819 --> 00:08:14.759 or didn't think about it. 00:08:15.540 --> 00:08:16.459 The king of Cambodia 00:08:16.459 --> 00:08:17.500 allowed his officials 00:08:17.500 --> 00:08:18.620 to oppress his people 00:08:18.620 --> 00:08:20.139 because he gained much wealth 00:08:20.139 --> 00:08:22.379 from that corrupt behavior. 00:08:23.019 --> 00:08:23.839 He did not think that 00:08:23.839 --> 00:08:24.739 this would eventually 00:08:24.739 --> 00:08:25.919 lead to his own demise. 00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:27.899 The people of Cambodia 00:08:27.899 --> 00:08:30.060 supported Paul Port 00:08:30.060 --> 00:08:31.359 and his ideology 00:08:31.359 --> 00:08:32.779 because they wanted to escape 00:08:32.779 --> 00:08:34.939 from their corrupt government. 00:08:36.539 --> 00:08:37.139 And Paul Port 00:08:37.139 --> 00:08:38.000 oppressed the people 00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:38.879 more than the government 00:08:38.879 --> 00:08:39.539 he toppled 00:08:39.539 --> 00:08:41.539 so as to maintain his power. 00:08:42.279 --> 00:08:42.839 He thought that 00:08:42.839 --> 00:08:44.559 by killing all the educated people 00:08:44.559 --> 00:08:45.500 and leaders, 00:08:45.959 --> 00:08:47.139 no one would challenge him. 00:08:47.839 --> 00:08:48.779 He did not expect 00:08:48.779 --> 00:08:49.879 his own official 00:08:49.879 --> 00:08:50.539 were the ones 00:08:50.539 --> 00:08:51.839 to finally rebel 00:08:51.839 --> 00:08:53.279 against him. 00:08:54.819 --> 00:08:55.939 Humans have been trying 00:08:55.939 --> 00:08:57.399 to build a better society 00:08:57.399 --> 00:08:58.980 to live since history began. 00:08:59.819 --> 00:09:00.399 We all think 00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:01.319 that we could do better 00:09:01.319 --> 00:09:02.399 than our forefathers. 00:09:03.659 --> 00:09:04.860 We think that we can 00:09:04.860 --> 00:09:05.879 have better marriages, 00:09:06.559 --> 00:09:07.339 better families, 00:09:07.740 --> 00:09:08.379 better governments, 00:09:08.860 --> 00:09:09.939 or even better churches, 00:09:10.360 --> 00:09:10.939 but we fail. 00:09:12.379 --> 00:09:13.099 If you remember 00:09:13.099 --> 00:09:14.539 1 Kings chapter 19 00:09:14.539 --> 00:09:15.539 when 00:09:15.539 --> 00:09:17.039 when 00:09:17.039 --> 00:09:19.579 who is that 00:09:19.579 --> 00:09:22.559 I just have a 00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:23.500 mental blank 00:09:23.500 --> 00:09:24.079 when the prophet 00:09:24.079 --> 00:09:25.139 Elijah 00:09:25.139 --> 00:09:27.459 asked God 00:09:27.459 --> 00:09:28.319 to take his life 00:09:28.319 --> 00:09:28.679 he said 00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:30.019 I'm no better 00:09:30.019 --> 00:09:31.039 than my forefathers 00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:32.339 even though 00:09:32.339 --> 00:09:34.019 Elijah was such a 00:09:34.019 --> 00:09:35.480 great man 00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:36.299 a great prophet 00:09:36.299 --> 00:09:37.919 but he 00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:39.259 he was 00:09:39.259 --> 00:09:40.620 still trying to 00:09:40.620 --> 00:09:41.279 do something 00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:42.639 better than his forefathers 00:09:42.639 --> 00:09:44.379 and he felt so disappointed 00:09:44.379 --> 00:09:45.699 that he couldn't achieve it. 00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:46.799 And that 00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:48.179 so the best 00:09:48.179 --> 00:09:49.319 even the best of us 00:09:49.319 --> 00:09:50.319 would feel that 00:09:50.319 --> 00:09:51.220 we could not 00:09:51.220 --> 00:09:54.000 make a better society 00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:55.500 make a better church 00:09:55.500 --> 00:09:57.000 or make a better family 00:09:57.000 --> 00:09:57.319 even. 00:09:58.500 --> 00:09:59.240 I suppose 00:09:59.240 --> 00:09:59.799 you can see 00:09:59.799 --> 00:10:00.699 that the disappointing 00:10:00.699 --> 00:10:01.399 outcomes 00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:02.360 should be expected 00:10:02.360 --> 00:10:03.340 if you understand 00:10:03.340 --> 00:10:04.059 that the problem 00:10:04.059 --> 00:10:06.039 is with the raw material. 00:10:06.879 --> 00:10:07.580 The humans 00:10:07.580 --> 00:10:09.100 who make up 00:10:09.100 --> 00:10:09.580 the marriages 00:10:09.580 --> 00:10:10.379 and societies 00:10:10.379 --> 00:10:10.960 are rotten. 00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:12.200 So when you mix 00:10:12.200 --> 00:10:12.879 rotten eggs 00:10:12.879 --> 00:10:13.400 together 00:10:13.400 --> 00:10:14.400 you should not 00:10:14.400 --> 00:10:15.060 expect to get 00:10:15.060 --> 00:10:15.800 something good 00:10:15.800 --> 00:10:16.640 out of it. 00:10:18.180 --> 00:10:19.120 We see this 00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:19.960 even clearer 00:10:19.960 --> 00:10:20.500 in the 00:10:20.500 --> 00:10:22.740 story of Exodus. 00:10:23.560 --> 00:10:24.440 So God provided 00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:25.360 the Israelites 00:10:25.360 --> 00:10:26.480 the best 00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:27.720 human leader possible 00:10:27.720 --> 00:10:29.379 to rescue them 00:10:29.379 --> 00:10:30.400 from the Egyptians. 00:10:31.640 --> 00:10:32.480 And on their way 00:10:32.480 --> 00:10:34.400 to the promised land 00:10:34.400 --> 00:10:35.400 the Israelites 00:10:35.400 --> 00:10:36.259 complained 00:10:36.259 --> 00:10:37.540 bitterly 00:10:37.540 --> 00:10:38.200 and repeatedly 00:10:38.200 --> 00:10:40.220 about being 00:10:40.220 --> 00:10:41.020 mistreated 00:10:41.019 --> 00:10:42.139 by Moses 00:10:42.139 --> 00:10:42.799 or misguided 00:10:42.799 --> 00:10:43.419 by Moses. 00:10:44.319 --> 00:10:44.939 Every time 00:10:44.939 --> 00:10:45.460 the Israelites 00:10:45.460 --> 00:10:46.079 complained 00:10:46.079 --> 00:10:46.759 Moses prayed 00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:47.139 to God 00:10:47.139 --> 00:10:47.579 for them 00:10:47.579 --> 00:10:48.019 and God 00:10:48.019 --> 00:10:48.620 provided their 00:10:48.620 --> 00:10:48.939 needs 00:10:48.939 --> 00:10:50.220 but they 00:10:50.220 --> 00:10:51.059 kept complaining. 00:10:52.500 --> 00:10:53.360 Why did they 00:10:53.360 --> 00:10:54.039 keep complaining? 00:10:55.039 --> 00:10:55.939 Because they were 00:10:55.939 --> 00:10:56.579 short-sighted 00:10:56.579 --> 00:10:57.399 and self-centered. 00:10:58.259 --> 00:10:59.039 Their slogan was 00:10:59.039 --> 00:11:00.419 what do we want? 00:11:01.539 --> 00:11:03.000 We want a better life. 00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:04.799 When do we want it? 00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:05.879 We want it now. 00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:08.259 And this slogan 00:11:08.259 --> 00:11:09.019 has been repeated 00:11:09.019 --> 00:11:10.679 ever since then 00:11:10.679 --> 00:11:11.480 until now. 00:11:12.220 --> 00:11:13.720 The Israelites 00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:14.379 wanted to get 00:11:14.379 --> 00:11:15.480 into the promised land 00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:16.059 straight away 00:11:16.059 --> 00:11:17.480 because God 00:11:17.480 --> 00:11:18.000 had promised 00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:18.840 to bring them 00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:19.360 to the land 00:11:19.360 --> 00:11:19.939 flowing with 00:11:19.939 --> 00:11:20.799 milk and honey. 00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:23.240 Do you know 00:11:23.240 --> 00:11:23.939 what would happen 00:11:23.939 --> 00:11:24.899 if you put 00:11:24.899 --> 00:11:25.519 rotten people 00:11:25.519 --> 00:11:26.220 into a land 00:11:26.220 --> 00:11:26.700 flowing with 00:11:26.700 --> 00:11:27.399 milk and honey? 00:11:28.379 --> 00:11:29.000 You can imagine 00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:29.679 they would start 00:11:29.679 --> 00:11:31.080 fighting for more 00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:31.759 milk and honey. 00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:33.620 they would start 00:11:33.620 --> 00:11:34.299 fighting to 00:11:34.299 --> 00:11:35.819 be the most 00:11:35.819 --> 00:11:36.960 prominent person 00:11:36.960 --> 00:11:38.000 and basically 00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:38.819 they would spoil 00:11:38.819 --> 00:11:40.080 the place 00:11:40.080 --> 00:11:41.259 as they are 00:11:41.259 --> 00:11:42.100 and they did. 00:11:42.279 --> 00:11:42.419 I mean, 00:11:42.439 --> 00:11:43.439 eventually they went in 00:11:43.439 --> 00:11:43.980 and they did spoil 00:11:43.980 --> 00:11:44.460 the place. 00:11:45.639 --> 00:11:46.700 But the fact that 00:11:46.700 --> 00:11:47.620 we are always looking 00:11:47.620 --> 00:11:48.620 for something better, 00:11:49.179 --> 00:11:50.000 a better life, 00:11:50.299 --> 00:11:51.439 a better marriage, 00:11:51.799 --> 00:11:52.460 better government 00:11:52.460 --> 00:11:53.639 tells us 00:11:53.639 --> 00:11:54.379 that we 00:11:54.379 --> 00:11:55.419 have been created 00:11:55.419 --> 00:11:56.200 for something better. 00:11:57.259 --> 00:11:58.240 We fail again 00:11:58.240 --> 00:11:58.720 and again 00:11:58.720 --> 00:11:59.539 to build a better 00:11:59.539 --> 00:12:00.120 society 00:12:00.120 --> 00:12:00.980 with education 00:12:00.980 --> 00:12:01.740 and civilization 00:12:01.740 --> 00:12:03.259 because our minds 00:12:03.259 --> 00:12:03.800 are crooked 00:12:03.800 --> 00:12:04.480 and our hearts 00:12:04.480 --> 00:12:04.920 are rotten. 00:12:06.220 --> 00:12:06.980 It takes someone 00:12:06.980 --> 00:12:08.000 with a right mind 00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:08.879 and a pure heart 00:12:08.879 --> 00:12:10.300 to start the process. 00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:12.320 We cannot produce 00:12:12.320 --> 00:12:13.060 someone from 00:12:13.060 --> 00:12:13.960 within ourselves. 00:12:15.539 --> 00:12:16.180 We needed to 00:12:16.180 --> 00:12:16.920 come from 00:12:16.920 --> 00:12:17.259 it 00:12:17.259 --> 00:12:18.700 it needed to come 00:12:18.700 --> 00:12:19.680 from outside 00:12:19.680 --> 00:12:21.080 of us. 00:12:22.100 --> 00:12:22.740 Just like the 00:12:22.740 --> 00:12:23.560 computer 00:12:23.560 --> 00:12:25.460 programming terms 00:12:25.460 --> 00:12:26.180 garbage in, 00:12:26.259 --> 00:12:26.779 garbage out. 00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:28.379 So we cannot use 00:12:28.379 --> 00:12:29.039 garbage 00:12:29.039 --> 00:12:30.060 to produce 00:12:30.059 --> 00:12:31.719 good things. 00:12:32.500 --> 00:12:33.039 And so 00:12:33.039 --> 00:12:35.359 that's how 00:12:35.359 --> 00:12:35.899 this story 00:12:35.899 --> 00:12:36.419 comes in 00:12:36.419 --> 00:12:36.839 today. 00:12:38.839 --> 00:12:39.039 So 00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:40.519 going back 00:12:40.519 --> 00:12:40.899 to 00:12:40.899 --> 00:12:42.000 last week 00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:42.559 from 00:12:42.559 --> 00:12:44.119 Matthew 1 00:12:44.119 --> 00:12:45.279 verses 1 00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:46.279 to 17 00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:47.439 it tells us 00:12:47.439 --> 00:12:48.919 about God's plan 00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:49.579 and the 00:12:49.579 --> 00:12:50.739 genealogy. 00:12:51.399 --> 00:12:52.059 So despite 00:12:52.059 --> 00:12:53.099 the Israelites 00:12:53.099 --> 00:12:54.119 short-sightedness 00:12:54.119 --> 00:12:55.339 and self-centeredness, 00:12:55.779 --> 00:12:56.299 God did not 00:12:56.299 --> 00:12:57.059 leave the Israelites 00:12:57.059 --> 00:12:57.539 alone 00:12:57.539 --> 00:12:58.719 because he promised 00:12:58.719 --> 00:12:59.879 their ancestor 00:12:59.879 --> 00:13:00.339 Abraham 00:13:00.339 --> 00:13:01.539 that his 00:13:01.539 --> 00:13:02.079 descendants 00:13:02.079 --> 00:13:02.639 would become 00:13:02.639 --> 00:13:03.639 a big nation 00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:04.299 and become 00:13:04.299 --> 00:13:05.899 all the nations 00:13:05.899 --> 00:13:06.539 of the earth 00:13:06.539 --> 00:13:07.480 will be blessed 00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:08.019 through them. 00:13:09.159 --> 00:13:10.319 God does not 00:13:10.319 --> 00:13:10.939 leave the world 00:13:10.939 --> 00:13:11.579 alone either. 00:13:12.120 --> 00:13:12.679 He promised 00:13:12.679 --> 00:13:13.759 Adam and Eve 00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:15.279 that an offspring 00:13:15.279 --> 00:13:16.419 of woman 00:13:16.419 --> 00:13:17.459 would abolish 00:13:17.459 --> 00:13:18.120 the curse 00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:18.879 of their fall. 00:13:20.179 --> 00:13:20.860 God has 00:13:20.860 --> 00:13:21.360 an eternal 00:13:21.360 --> 00:13:22.799 plan for his 00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:23.120 kingdom 00:13:23.120 --> 00:13:24.559 and this plan 00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:25.259 will be fulfilled. 00:13:25.259 --> 00:13:26.980 The fulfillment 00:13:26.980 --> 00:13:27.779 of God's promise 00:13:27.779 --> 00:13:28.319 to Abraham 00:13:28.319 --> 00:13:29.059 is part of 00:13:29.059 --> 00:13:29.620 the fulfillment 00:13:29.620 --> 00:13:31.879 of his promise 00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:32.659 to Adam and Eve. 00:13:33.299 --> 00:13:34.019 Today we have 00:13:34.019 --> 00:13:34.860 come to the beginning 00:13:34.860 --> 00:13:35.600 of the fulfillment 00:13:35.600 --> 00:13:36.740 of both promises, 00:13:37.279 --> 00:13:38.279 the coming of the Christ. 00:13:39.460 --> 00:13:40.419 The Christ 00:13:40.419 --> 00:13:41.200 or the Messiah 00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:42.200 means someone 00:13:42.200 --> 00:13:43.539 who is anointed 00:13:43.539 --> 00:13:44.840 or chosen by God 00:13:44.840 --> 00:13:46.080 to establish 00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:46.840 his kingdom. 00:13:47.939 --> 00:13:48.879 The existence 00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:49.840 of Israel 00:13:49.840 --> 00:13:50.899 was to prepare 00:13:50.899 --> 00:13:51.480 for the coming 00:13:51.480 --> 00:13:52.059 of Christ. 00:13:53.059 --> 00:13:54.080 We read in Galatians 00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:55.580 chapter 4 verse 4 00:13:55.580 --> 00:13:58.060 but when the fullness 00:13:58.060 --> 00:13:59.160 of time had come 00:13:59.160 --> 00:14:00.500 God sent forth 00:14:00.500 --> 00:14:01.400 his son 00:14:01.400 --> 00:14:02.920 born of woman 00:14:02.920 --> 00:14:04.500 born under the law 00:14:04.500 --> 00:14:05.680 to redeem those 00:14:05.680 --> 00:14:06.740 who were under the law 00:14:06.740 --> 00:14:08.259 so that we might 00:14:08.259 --> 00:14:09.320 receive adoption 00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:10.860 as sons. 00:14:12.720 --> 00:14:14.000 The birth of Christ 00:14:14.000 --> 00:14:14.940 had to be unique 00:14:14.940 --> 00:14:15.840 if it was that 00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:16.700 someone who came 00:14:16.700 --> 00:14:17.820 from outside of us. 00:14:18.759 --> 00:14:19.280 This someone 00:14:19.280 --> 00:14:20.240 needed to be holy 00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:20.780 like God 00:14:20.780 --> 00:14:21.660 to redeem us. 00:14:22.560 --> 00:14:23.060 He also needed 00:14:23.059 --> 00:14:23.919 to be one of us 00:14:23.919 --> 00:14:25.199 to represent us. 00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:26.619 He needed to be 00:14:26.619 --> 00:14:27.279 both God 00:14:27.279 --> 00:14:28.039 and man 00:14:28.039 --> 00:14:29.519 both holy 00:14:29.519 --> 00:14:30.399 and common. 00:14:31.819 --> 00:14:32.619 The virgin birth 00:14:32.619 --> 00:14:33.239 was therefore 00:14:33.239 --> 00:14:33.719 necessary 00:14:33.719 --> 00:14:34.559 to make this 00:14:34.559 --> 00:14:35.739 combination possible. 00:14:36.939 --> 00:14:37.419 You may think 00:14:37.419 --> 00:14:38.359 that virgin birth 00:14:38.359 --> 00:14:39.279 is scientifically 00:14:39.279 --> 00:14:40.519 impossible. 00:14:42.599 --> 00:14:43.739 You can think 00:14:43.739 --> 00:14:44.959 deeper again. 00:14:45.039 --> 00:14:45.559 If scientists 00:14:45.559 --> 00:14:46.059 can make 00:14:46.059 --> 00:14:47.319 test tube babies 00:14:47.319 --> 00:14:48.279 why could not 00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:48.739 God make 00:14:48.739 --> 00:14:49.419 a baby 00:14:49.419 --> 00:14:50.139 from a woman? 00:14:51.599 --> 00:14:52.439 Eve was made 00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:53.100 from a man 00:14:53.100 --> 00:14:54.140 without a woman? 00:14:55.000 --> 00:14:55.720 Adam was made 00:14:55.720 --> 00:14:56.420 without a man 00:14:56.420 --> 00:14:57.120 or a woman. 00:14:58.060 --> 00:14:59.080 Even for all 00:14:59.080 --> 00:14:59.820 of us who are 00:14:59.820 --> 00:15:01.000 made because of 00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:02.080 one man and one woman 00:15:02.080 --> 00:15:03.560 it's still 00:15:03.560 --> 00:15:05.020 miraculous. 00:15:05.680 --> 00:15:06.480 If you know 00:15:06.480 --> 00:15:07.920 how many things 00:15:07.920 --> 00:15:08.820 can go wrong 00:15:08.820 --> 00:15:09.620 for pregnancy 00:15:09.620 --> 00:15:10.180 to happen 00:15:10.180 --> 00:15:11.140 for a child 00:15:11.140 --> 00:15:11.840 to be born 00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:12.800 you will know 00:15:12.800 --> 00:15:13.500 that each 00:15:13.500 --> 00:15:14.980 birth is a miracle 00:15:14.980 --> 00:15:15.700 in itself. 00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:17.700 So even though 00:15:17.700 --> 00:15:18.620 we said that 00:15:18.620 --> 00:15:19.700 the virgin birth 00:15:19.700 --> 00:15:20.300 is a miracle 00:15:20.300 --> 00:15:21.759 actually any birth 00:15:21.759 --> 00:15:23.140 is a miracle 00:15:23.140 --> 00:15:23.840 if you know 00:15:23.840 --> 00:15:26.500 how many things 00:15:26.500 --> 00:15:27.420 could go wrong 00:15:27.420 --> 00:15:27.920 in any 00:15:27.920 --> 00:15:29.200 consciousness of birth. 00:15:30.320 --> 00:15:32.060 So the virgin birth 00:15:32.060 --> 00:15:32.720 though we call it 00:15:32.720 --> 00:15:33.220 virgin birth 00:15:33.220 --> 00:15:33.980 actually is virgin 00:15:33.980 --> 00:15:34.580 conception 00:15:34.580 --> 00:15:36.020 so it's the 00:15:36.020 --> 00:15:37.100 more appropriate 00:15:37.100 --> 00:15:37.440 term 00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:38.700 and the 00:15:38.700 --> 00:15:39.820 virgin conception 00:15:39.820 --> 00:15:40.540 is necessary 00:15:40.540 --> 00:15:41.460 because 00:15:41.460 --> 00:15:43.820 Jesus needed 00:15:43.820 --> 00:15:44.340 to come 00:15:44.340 --> 00:15:45.180 from outside 00:15:45.179 --> 00:15:47.479 of human beings 00:15:47.479 --> 00:15:48.599 but he also 00:15:48.599 --> 00:15:49.459 needed to be 00:15:49.459 --> 00:15:50.459 part of human beings. 00:15:51.359 --> 00:15:51.959 But like most 00:15:51.959 --> 00:15:52.519 people 00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:53.239 Joseph could not 00:15:53.239 --> 00:15:53.819 believe this 00:15:53.819 --> 00:15:55.120 and how could 00:15:55.120 --> 00:15:55.899 Mary explain 00:15:55.899 --> 00:15:56.359 to Joseph 00:15:56.359 --> 00:15:57.459 about her pregnancy? 00:15:58.339 --> 00:15:59.019 The Holy Spirit 00:15:59.019 --> 00:15:59.799 made me pregnant 00:15:59.799 --> 00:16:01.299 or 00:16:01.299 --> 00:16:03.679 Mary could 00:16:03.679 --> 00:16:04.339 also 00:16:04.339 --> 00:16:05.179 tell 00:16:05.179 --> 00:16:05.819 Joseph 00:16:05.819 --> 00:16:06.639 if you do not 00:16:06.639 --> 00:16:07.159 believe me 00:16:07.159 --> 00:16:08.439 you can ask 00:16:08.439 --> 00:16:08.939 my cousin 00:16:08.939 --> 00:16:09.359 Elizabeth. 00:16:10.319 --> 00:16:10.939 Actually God 00:16:10.939 --> 00:16:11.579 did not leave 00:16:11.579 --> 00:16:13.120 Mary on her own 00:16:13.120 --> 00:16:13.819 there was 00:16:13.820 --> 00:16:15.500 someone 00:16:15.500 --> 00:16:16.379 who can 00:16:16.379 --> 00:16:20.500 confirm 00:16:20.500 --> 00:16:21.160 Mary's 00:16:21.160 --> 00:16:21.700 story. 00:16:24.300 --> 00:16:24.600 But 00:16:24.600 --> 00:16:26.260 Joseph 00:16:26.260 --> 00:16:27.120 did not 00:16:27.120 --> 00:16:28.140 bother 00:16:28.140 --> 00:16:29.200 to go 00:16:29.200 --> 00:16:29.540 and 00:16:29.540 --> 00:16:30.900 see 00:16:30.900 --> 00:16:31.320 Elizabeth 00:16:31.320 --> 00:16:31.879 is some 00:16:31.879 --> 00:16:32.540 distance away 00:16:32.540 --> 00:16:32.940 I suppose 00:16:32.940 --> 00:16:34.420 so he decided 00:16:34.420 --> 00:16:36.820 to cancel 00:16:36.820 --> 00:16:37.379 the marriage. 00:16:40.860 --> 00:16:41.880 So Mary's 00:16:41.880 --> 00:16:42.520 pregnancy 00:16:42.520 --> 00:16:43.020 presented 00:16:43.020 --> 00:16:43.380 a huge 00:16:43.379 --> 00:16:43.700 problem 00:16:43.700 --> 00:16:44.580 to Joseph. 00:16:45.779 --> 00:16:46.080 I think 00:16:46.080 --> 00:16:46.460 he loved 00:16:46.460 --> 00:16:46.879 Mary 00:16:46.879 --> 00:16:47.700 but he was 00:16:47.700 --> 00:16:48.720 an Israelite 00:16:48.720 --> 00:16:50.100 a person 00:16:50.100 --> 00:16:50.559 who was 00:16:50.559 --> 00:16:51.379 born under 00:16:51.379 --> 00:16:51.820 the law. 00:16:52.939 --> 00:16:53.320 To him 00:16:53.320 --> 00:16:53.740 marriage 00:16:53.740 --> 00:16:54.399 was sacred 00:16:54.399 --> 00:16:55.039 and audient 00:16:55.039 --> 00:16:55.539 by God. 00:16:56.340 --> 00:16:56.600 To have 00:16:56.600 --> 00:16:59.100 to be seen 00:16:59.100 --> 00:16:59.360 to have 00:16:59.360 --> 00:17:00.480 premarital sex 00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:00.980 would mean 00:17:00.980 --> 00:17:01.439 disrespect 00:17:01.439 --> 00:17:03.059 to God's 00:17:03.059 --> 00:17:03.340 will
