00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.080
 and would no longer have felt guilty for their sins.

00:00:07.660 --> 00:00:13.519
 Now we don't have a temple to go to today, and we don't go running around sacrificing animals.

00:00:13.679 --> 00:00:16.640
 We'd have the animal rights group after us if we did things like that.

00:00:17.100 --> 00:00:20.960
 But I think we still make our own little sacrifices, don't we?

00:00:23.580 --> 00:00:26.900
 Paul Tripp, a great writer who I encourage you to read,

00:00:26.899 --> 00:00:33.939
 in this little book of his it's called Whiter Than Snow, Meditations on Sin and Mercy.

00:00:34.119 --> 00:00:39.780
 It's just one page little writing, some of them stories, some of them poems.

00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:48.459
 And in this one he writes about us offering our sacrifices to deal with our guilt.

00:00:48.679 --> 00:00:53.159
 This is what he says, perhaps if I give you some of my time,

00:00:53.859 --> 00:00:56.159
 perhaps if I give you some of my strength,

00:00:56.899 --> 00:00:59.500
 perhaps if I give you some of my things,

00:01:00.199 --> 00:01:02.579
 perhaps if I give you some of my thoughts,

00:01:03.579 --> 00:01:05.859
 perhaps if I give you some of my success,

00:01:06.859 --> 00:01:09.200
 perhaps if I give you some of my relationships,

00:01:09.819 --> 00:01:14.340
 surely these sacrifices would bring you delight.

00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:19.259
 Surely these offerings will bring you joy.

00:01:20.239 --> 00:01:22.079
 I'm quite willing to give a tithe.

00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:25.159
 I'm quite willing to interrupt my schedule.

00:01:25.159 --> 00:01:27.700
 I'm quite willing to volunteer to serve.

00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:29.799
 I'm quite willing to do my part.

00:01:30.939 --> 00:01:33.379
 But I get the sense it will never satisfy.

00:01:34.459 --> 00:01:37.599
 I get the sense that this momentary giving,

00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:40.500
 this momentary service,

00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:43.019
 this momentary ministry,

00:01:43.799 --> 00:01:45.859
 this momentary sacrifice,

00:01:46.900 --> 00:01:51.120
 will not satisfy or deal with guilt.

00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:55.300
 The problem is,

00:01:56.300 --> 00:02:02.480
 our sacrifices do nothing to clean our guilty conscience.

00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:05.240
 Look at verse 2 again.

00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:06.900
 If it could,

00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:11.200
 would we not have stopped offering our sacrifices?

00:02:12.200 --> 00:02:14.860
 They would have cleansed us once and for all,

00:02:14.860 --> 00:02:20.640
 and we would no longer feel guilty for our sins,

00:02:21.140 --> 00:02:22.040
 past and present.

00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:28.520
 So what can deal with our guilty conscience?

00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:33.640
 Well, first thing we want to look at is,

00:02:33.820 --> 00:02:37.320
 why our sacrifices always fail.

00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:40.080
 Our sacrifices always fail.

00:02:40.620 --> 00:02:41.560
 Our sacrifice,

00:02:41.760 --> 00:02:43.280
 whatever form it takes,

00:02:43.820 --> 00:02:46.400
 never deals with the problem of guilt.

00:02:47.500 --> 00:02:50.219
 Look at the middle of verse 1 of chapter 10.

00:02:51.540 --> 00:02:52.980
 Or we'll read all of verse 1.

00:02:52.979 --> 00:02:56.479
 The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming,

00:02:56.619 --> 00:02:58.399
 not the realities themselves.

00:02:58.899 --> 00:02:59.780
 For this reason,

00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:00.959
 it can never,

00:03:01.339 --> 00:03:04.259
 by the same sacrifices repeated endlessly,

00:03:04.839 --> 00:03:06.179
 year after year,

00:03:06.579 --> 00:03:10.339
 make perfect those who draw near to worship.

00:03:11.719 --> 00:03:15.479
 The same idea is expressed back in chapter 9, verse 9.

00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:18.539
 Here he's been talking about the whole temple

00:03:18.539 --> 00:03:20.239
 and sacrificial system,

00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:21.500
 and this is his conclusion.

00:03:21.500 --> 00:03:22.060
 He says,

00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:25.639
 this is an illustration for the present time,

00:03:25.979 --> 00:03:29.340
 indicating that the gifts and the sacrifices being offered

00:03:29.340 --> 00:03:34.939
 were not able to clear the conscience of the worshipper.

00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:36.120
 Literally,

00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:40.219
 these sacrifices could never perfect the conscience

00:03:40.219 --> 00:03:42.420
 of the one coming to God.

00:03:43.620 --> 00:03:45.920
 Now, it's important for us to grasp

00:03:45.920 --> 00:03:49.039
 how useless our sacrifices are.

00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:50.080
 Two things.

00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:51.020
 First,

00:03:51.020 --> 00:03:51.040
 first,

00:03:51.219 --> 00:03:55.440
 our sacrifices don't clean us of our guilt.

00:03:56.040 --> 00:03:57.920
 Look at verse 2 of chapter 10.

00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:00.080
 If they could,

00:04:00.180 --> 00:04:01.900
 would they not have stopped being offered?

00:04:02.620 --> 00:04:08.060
 For the worshippers would have been cleansed once and for all,

00:04:08.860 --> 00:04:10.860
 and would no longer have felt guilty.

00:04:10.860 --> 00:04:13.480
 It's not surprising,

00:04:13.480 --> 00:04:13.860
 is it,

00:04:13.860 --> 00:04:16.520
 that whenever we say or do something wrong,

00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:21.860
 we have this feeling of being dirty and unclean.

00:04:21.960 --> 00:04:23.720
 We've all experienced that.

00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:28.120
 And in a desperate attempt to try and feel clean,

00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:30.180
 we sacrifice.

00:04:30.980 --> 00:04:33.140
 We make more of an effort in our lives.

00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:34.560
 We get more involved,

00:04:34.700 --> 00:04:36.900
 or we take part in a new ministry,

00:04:37.080 --> 00:04:38.840
 or we give a bit more money,

00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:42.439
 but they don't make us clean on the inside.

00:04:43.479 --> 00:04:44.299
 Chapter 9,

00:04:44.419 --> 00:04:45.379
 verse 13.

00:04:47.779 --> 00:04:48.839
 It says there,

00:04:48.839 --> 00:05:18.839


00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:19.219
 it's a mask,

00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:20.339
 it's a cover-up.

00:05:21.259 --> 00:05:24.459
 We feel a little bit better when we do something good.

00:05:25.399 --> 00:05:28.899
 Others look at us and think that we're also doing very well,

00:05:28.899 --> 00:05:30.299
 but inside,

00:05:30.899 --> 00:05:32.939
 we're unclean.

00:05:33.679 --> 00:05:34.739
 We feel dirty.

00:05:35.699 --> 00:05:39.199
 Still suffering under a weight of condemnation.

00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:43.179
 Still feeling a useless failure.

00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:46.379
 No good to God or to anybody else.

00:05:48.799 --> 00:05:51.419
 Sacrifices don't clean us of guilt.

00:05:52.319 --> 00:05:52.639
 Second,

00:05:53.739 --> 00:05:57.060
 they just remind us of all of our guilt.

00:05:57.060 --> 00:06:00.500
 Look at verse 3 of chapter 10.

00:06:02.339 --> 00:06:07.560
 But those sacrifices are an annual reminder of sins.

00:06:08.220 --> 00:06:12.500
 Because it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sin.

00:06:12.939 --> 00:06:13.240
 You know,

00:06:13.340 --> 00:06:16.040
 every time we sin and every time we mess up,

00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:18.279
 we fall into this trap of thinking,

00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:20.699
 I can deal with my guilt.

00:06:21.259 --> 00:06:25.980
 All I need to do is just add a little bit more to my little sacrifices,

00:06:25.980 --> 00:06:28.220
 and then everything is going to be okay.

00:06:28.700 --> 00:06:31.000
 But in the act of sacrificing,

00:06:31.259 --> 00:06:34.520
 whether it's just giving up a little bit of time to help somebody else,

00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:37.360
 whether it's reading my Bible a little bit more,

00:06:37.520 --> 00:06:39.900
 or just putting in an extra few prayers,

00:06:40.379 --> 00:06:42.480
 every time we sacrifice,

00:06:43.420 --> 00:06:46.860
 all we're doing is just reminding ourselves again and again

00:06:46.860 --> 00:06:50.620
 of my sin today and my sin from the past.

00:06:51.340 --> 00:06:52.560
 That's all we're doing.

00:06:53.319 --> 00:06:55.960
 We're heaping guilt upon guilt.

00:06:57.360 --> 00:07:00.180
 Sacrifices don't clear our conscience.

00:07:01.139 --> 00:07:03.420
 All they do is remind us

00:07:03.420 --> 00:07:05.699
 of how terrible we are

00:07:05.699 --> 00:07:07.680
 and what a failure we are.

00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:12.459
 That is the problem of our sacrifices.

00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:15.099
 They just fail.

00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:18.219
 Look back at verse 1,

00:07:18.300 --> 00:07:20.079
 the middle of verse 1 of chapter 10.

00:07:21.420 --> 00:07:22.740
 For this reason,

00:07:23.339 --> 00:07:24.180
 it can never,

00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:26.120
 by the same sacrifices

00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:27.680
 repeated endlessly

00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:29.519
 year after year,

00:07:30.019 --> 00:07:30.919
 make perfect

00:07:30.919 --> 00:07:33.180
 those who draw near to worship.

00:07:33.180 --> 00:07:37.780
 Now how many of us

00:07:37.780 --> 00:07:40.319
 live in that relentless cycle?

00:07:41.220 --> 00:07:43.400
 Making repeated sacrifices

00:07:43.400 --> 00:07:45.400
 week after week,

00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:47.780
 year after year,

00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:50.720
 struggling with sins of the past,

00:07:51.180 --> 00:07:53.019
 struggling with sins of today,

00:07:53.439 --> 00:07:55.019
 with the weight of it upon us

00:07:55.019 --> 00:07:57.740
 somehow trying to get it out of our lives

00:07:57.740 --> 00:07:59.519
 and the memory of it gone.

00:08:00.379 --> 00:08:02.340
 And we increase our commitment,

00:08:02.339 --> 00:08:04.299
 we raise our effort,

00:08:04.619 --> 00:08:06.439
 we take on more responsibility,

00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:08.519
 or we just hide away

00:08:08.519 --> 00:08:09.639
 and we suffer

00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:11.379
 with our guilty conscience

00:08:11.379 --> 00:08:13.000
 that just cripples us

00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:14.519
 and crushes us.

00:08:19.319 --> 00:08:21.159
 It reminds us

00:08:21.159 --> 00:08:24.000
 that we are in desperate need

00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:26.579
 of a better sacrifice

00:08:26.579 --> 00:08:28.939
 than what we could ever offer.

00:08:28.939 --> 00:08:33.100
 And that's the big second picture

00:08:33.100 --> 00:08:34.639
 that I want us to grasp.

00:08:35.139 --> 00:08:37.279
 That not only do our sacrifices

00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:38.440
 always fail,

00:08:39.980 --> 00:08:42.080
 but the sacrifice of Jesus

00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:44.100
 is so much better.

00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:47.759
 Instead of us making sacrifices,

00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:50.759
 Jesus becomes the sacrifice

00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:52.039
 for us.

00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:54.419
 Verse 5 of chapter 10.

00:08:54.419 --> 00:08:56.019
 Therefore,

00:08:56.019 --> 00:08:57.939
 when Christ came into the world,

00:08:58.079 --> 00:08:58.659
 he said,

00:08:59.379 --> 00:09:00.959
 quoting Psalm 40,

00:09:01.219 --> 00:09:03.019
 sacrifice and offering

00:09:03.019 --> 00:09:04.479
 you did not desire,

00:09:05.079 --> 00:09:06.839
 but a body you prepared for me.

00:09:06.899 --> 00:09:08.159
 He's saying it's

00:09:08.159 --> 00:09:09.719
 when Christ came into the world,

00:09:09.819 --> 00:09:12.099
 he came in as a physical human being

00:09:12.099 --> 00:09:13.099
 like one of us.

00:09:13.659 --> 00:09:14.939
 With burnt offerings

00:09:14.939 --> 00:09:15.799
 and sin offerings,

00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:16.879
 you were not pleased.

00:09:17.259 --> 00:09:18.259
 Then he said,

00:09:18.459 --> 00:09:19.459
 here I am,

00:09:19.539 --> 00:09:20.759
 it is written about me

00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:21.459
 in the scroll,

00:09:21.460 --> 00:09:23.879
 I have come to do your will,

00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:24.639
 O God.

00:09:25.500 --> 00:09:26.820
 Well, what is God's will

00:09:26.820 --> 00:09:28.740
 for Jesus and for us?

00:09:28.820 --> 00:09:29.680
 Look at verse 8.

00:09:31.280 --> 00:09:32.200
 Then he said,

00:09:32.320 --> 00:09:33.759
 sacrifices and offerings

00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:34.759
 and burnt offerings

00:09:34.759 --> 00:09:35.740
 and sin offerings

00:09:35.740 --> 00:09:37.600
 you did not desire,

00:09:38.560 --> 00:09:40.540
 nor were you pleased with them,

00:09:41.540 --> 00:09:43.040
 although the law required them

00:09:43.040 --> 00:09:43.780
 to be made.

00:09:44.680 --> 00:09:47.060
 Yes, God had said in his law

00:09:47.060 --> 00:09:49.440
 that sacrifices were to be made,

00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:52.320
 but only because they pointed forward

00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:53.120
 to a better

00:09:53.120 --> 00:09:55.640
 and a greater sacrifice to come.

00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:56.660
 Verse 9.

00:09:57.260 --> 00:09:58.080
 Then he said,

00:09:58.880 --> 00:09:59.780
 here I am,

00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:01.860
 I have come to do your will.

00:10:02.200 --> 00:10:04.000
 He sets aside the first,

00:10:04.080 --> 00:10:06.180
 he puts aside this old system

00:10:06.180 --> 00:10:08.740
 to establish the second,

00:10:08.880 --> 00:10:10.420
 to bring about a new way,

00:10:10.560 --> 00:10:11.600
 a new sacrifice.

00:10:13.040 --> 00:10:15.380
 The sacrifices of the animals

00:10:15.380 --> 00:10:16.320
 that we read about

00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:17.460
 in the Old Testament,

00:10:17.460 --> 00:10:19.340
 all they are there to do

00:10:19.340 --> 00:10:20.700
 is to point us forward

00:10:20.700 --> 00:10:22.560
 to something better

00:10:22.560 --> 00:10:25.000
 and to someone greater.

00:10:26.060 --> 00:10:27.500
 Or go back to chapter 10,

00:10:27.560 --> 00:10:28.139
 verse 1.

00:10:29.440 --> 00:10:30.639
 He says there the law

00:10:30.639 --> 00:10:31.800
 which is encompassing

00:10:31.800 --> 00:10:32.879
 the whole of this whole

00:10:32.879 --> 00:10:34.379
 sacrificial system,

00:10:34.379 --> 00:10:36.600
 he says it's only a shadow

00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:38.379
 of the good things

00:10:38.379 --> 00:10:39.080
 that are coming.

00:10:39.700 --> 00:10:41.879
 They are not the realities themselves.

00:10:44.040 --> 00:10:45.360
 And if we are to follow

00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:46.500
 the shadow through

00:10:46.500 --> 00:10:47.419
 of the Old Testament,

00:10:47.820 --> 00:10:49.460
 all these old sacrifices,

00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:50.940
 if we follow that shadow

00:10:50.940 --> 00:10:52.659
 and we reach the end

00:10:52.659 --> 00:10:53.419
 of that shadow,

00:10:54.259 --> 00:10:55.460
 we meet the person

00:10:55.460 --> 00:10:56.919
 of Jesus Christ,

00:10:57.139 --> 00:10:58.820
 the true sacrifice.

00:10:59.179 --> 00:11:00.179
 It is his shadow

00:11:00.179 --> 00:11:01.120
 that falls back

00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:02.200
 across the Old Testament

00:11:02.200 --> 00:11:03.879
 and it's the person of Jesus

00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:05.500
 that we meet in the new.

00:11:05.940 --> 00:11:07.019
 And he's saying to us

00:11:07.019 --> 00:11:08.379
 in these few verses here,

00:11:08.799 --> 00:11:10.200
 the only sacrifice

00:11:10.200 --> 00:11:11.600
 that is going to work,

00:11:11.899 --> 00:11:13.120
 the only sacrifice

00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:14.159
 that is going to deal

00:11:14.159 --> 00:11:15.519
 with our guilty conscience,

00:11:15.679 --> 00:11:16.719
 past and present,

00:11:17.699 --> 00:11:19.539
 is that of Jesus Christ.

00:11:22.100 --> 00:11:24.120
 Two things about this sacrifice.

00:11:24.919 --> 00:11:25.399
 First,

00:11:25.860 --> 00:11:27.399
 the sacrifice of Jesus

00:11:27.399 --> 00:11:30.719
 makes us perfect.

00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:32.899
 Look at verse 10.

00:11:32.899 --> 00:11:36.840
 He says,

00:11:36.919 --> 00:11:37.980
 and by that will

00:11:37.980 --> 00:11:40.519
 we have been made holy

00:11:40.519 --> 00:11:42.419
 through the sacrifice

00:11:42.419 --> 00:11:43.480
 of the body

00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:44.879
 of Jesus Christ.

00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:45.779
 Through his death

00:11:45.779 --> 00:11:46.480
 on the cross

00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:49.299
 we have been made holy.

00:11:49.779 --> 00:11:51.019
 We get the same idea

00:11:51.019 --> 00:11:52.139
 in verse 14.

00:11:53.039 --> 00:11:54.899
 Because by one sacrifice

00:11:54.899 --> 00:11:56.939
 he has made perfect

00:11:56.939 --> 00:11:57.679
 forever

00:11:57.679 --> 00:11:59.740
 those who are living

00:11:59.740 --> 00:12:01.059
 holy lives.

00:12:01.059 --> 00:12:03.279
 Now when we talk

00:12:03.279 --> 00:12:04.639
 about perfection here

00:12:04.639 --> 00:12:05.819
 being made perfect

00:12:05.819 --> 00:12:07.739
 we don't mean

00:12:07.739 --> 00:12:09.259
 a moral perfection

00:12:09.259 --> 00:12:11.739
 where we never mess up

00:12:11.739 --> 00:12:12.519
 and sin again.

00:12:12.799 --> 00:12:14.419
 It's not a moral perfection.

00:12:15.079 --> 00:12:16.339
 It's all about

00:12:16.339 --> 00:12:18.679
 a relational perfection

00:12:18.679 --> 00:12:20.699
 where we can now

00:12:20.699 --> 00:12:21.779
 relate to God

00:12:21.779 --> 00:12:22.899
 and enjoy God

00:12:22.899 --> 00:12:23.719
 and love God

00:12:23.719 --> 00:12:24.819
 and serve God

00:12:24.819 --> 00:12:26.319
 even though

00:12:26.319 --> 00:12:27.639
 we mess up

00:12:27.639 --> 00:12:28.479
 and fail

00:12:28.479 --> 00:12:30.099
 again and again.

00:12:31.059 --> 00:12:33.239
 it's not a moral perfection

00:12:33.239 --> 00:12:34.659
 where we will never

00:12:34.659 --> 00:12:35.699
 mess up and sin.

00:12:36.179 --> 00:12:36.759
 It's about

00:12:36.759 --> 00:12:38.299
 a relational perfection

00:12:38.299 --> 00:12:39.619
 where we can still

00:12:39.619 --> 00:12:40.579
 serve God

00:12:40.579 --> 00:12:41.719
 and relate to God

00:12:41.719 --> 00:12:42.939
 and enjoy God

00:12:42.939 --> 00:12:44.139
 even though

00:12:44.139 --> 00:12:44.839
 we keep

00:12:44.839 --> 00:12:45.839
 messing up

00:12:45.839 --> 00:12:47.339
 day after day.

00:12:48.619 --> 00:12:50.079
 Look back at chapter 7

00:12:50.079 --> 00:12:50.839
 and we'll try and get

00:12:50.839 --> 00:12:52.159
 a bigger picture of this.

00:12:52.539 --> 00:12:54.019
 Chapter 7 verse 18.

00:12:54.019 --> 00:13:01.559
 Again it's contrasting here

00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:03.340
 our sacrifice

00:13:03.340 --> 00:13:05.860
 and the perfect sacrifice

00:13:05.860 --> 00:13:06.399
 of Christ

00:13:06.399 --> 00:13:07.220
 and what that does

00:13:07.220 --> 00:13:07.799
 for us.

00:13:08.259 --> 00:13:09.980
 Verse 18 of chapter 7

00:13:09.980 --> 00:13:11.740
 The former regulation

00:13:11.740 --> 00:13:12.559
 that's the old

00:13:12.559 --> 00:13:13.500
 sacrificial system

00:13:13.500 --> 00:13:14.480
 is set aside

00:13:14.480 --> 00:13:15.179
 why?

00:13:15.379 --> 00:13:16.579
 Because it is weak

00:13:16.579 --> 00:13:17.419
 and useless

00:13:17.419 --> 00:13:18.559
 for the law

00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:19.840
 made nothing perfect.

00:13:20.100 --> 00:13:21.039
 Our sacrifices

00:13:21.039 --> 00:13:22.340
 do not do anything

00:13:22.340 --> 00:13:23.160
 for us.

00:13:24.300 --> 00:13:25.620
 And a better hope

00:13:25.620 --> 00:13:26.460
 is introduced.

00:13:26.860 --> 00:13:27.700
 That's Jesus

00:13:27.700 --> 00:13:29.800
 by which we draw

00:13:29.800 --> 00:13:31.060
 near to God.

00:13:31.160 --> 00:13:32.019
 By which we can

00:13:32.019 --> 00:13:33.180
 have a relationship

00:13:33.180 --> 00:13:33.740
 with God

00:13:33.740 --> 00:13:35.320
 and enjoy Him.

00:13:36.379 --> 00:13:37.580
 Go to chapter 9

00:13:37.580 --> 00:13:38.720
 verse 13 again.

00:13:40.259 --> 00:13:41.840
 Again look at the contrast.

00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:45.660
 Chapter 9 verse 13.

00:13:45.659 --> 00:13:47.480
 The blood of goats

00:13:47.480 --> 00:13:48.139
 and bulls

00:13:48.139 --> 00:13:48.659
 and the ashes

00:13:48.659 --> 00:13:49.279
 of a heifer

00:13:49.279 --> 00:13:50.299
 sprinkled on those

00:13:50.299 --> 00:13:51.399
 who are ceremonially

00:13:51.399 --> 00:13:52.240
 unclean

00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:53.459
 sanctify them

00:13:53.459 --> 00:13:54.120
 so that they are

00:13:54.120 --> 00:13:55.079
 outwardly clean.

00:13:55.819 --> 00:13:57.759
 How much more then

00:13:57.759 --> 00:13:59.740
 will the blood

00:13:59.740 --> 00:14:00.419
 of Christ

00:14:00.419 --> 00:14:01.000
 who through

00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:01.860
 the eternal

00:14:01.860 --> 00:14:02.500
 Spirit

00:14:02.500 --> 00:14:03.759
 offered Himself

00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:05.139
 unblemished to God

00:14:05.139 --> 00:14:07.000
 cleanse our

00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:08.259
 consciences

00:14:08.259 --> 00:14:10.899
 from acts

00:14:10.899 --> 00:14:12.000
 that lead to death

00:14:12.000 --> 00:14:14.279
 so that we can

00:14:14.279 --> 00:14:15.259
 or that we may

00:14:15.259 --> 00:14:15.840
 serve

00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:17.360
 the living God.

00:14:18.820 --> 00:14:20.120
 Christ's sacrifice

00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:21.600
 deals with

00:14:21.600 --> 00:14:22.519
 our guilt

00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:24.440
 so that we can

00:14:24.440 --> 00:14:25.179
 relate to God

00:14:25.179 --> 00:14:25.700
 that we can

00:14:25.700 --> 00:14:26.659
 enjoy Him.

00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:30.059
 Verse 14

00:14:30.059 --> 00:14:30.940
 is talking about

00:14:30.940 --> 00:14:31.860
 the blood of Christ

00:14:31.860 --> 00:14:32.799
 it's about His death.

00:14:32.919 --> 00:14:34.000
 When we think blood

00:14:34.000 --> 00:14:35.360
 we think a mess

00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:36.559
 we think a stain.

00:14:37.580 --> 00:14:38.820
 But the picture here

00:14:38.820 --> 00:14:39.240
 is that

00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:40.740
 through Jesus

00:14:40.740 --> 00:14:42.200
 His blood

00:14:42.200 --> 00:14:42.919
 becomes the

00:14:42.919 --> 00:14:44.220
 cleansing agent

00:14:44.220 --> 00:14:45.399
 for our guilty

00:14:45.399 --> 00:14:45.980
 conscience.

00:14:46.680 --> 00:14:47.480
 His sacrifice

00:14:47.480 --> 00:14:48.279
 applied to

00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:49.139
 our lives

00:14:49.139 --> 00:14:51.139
 perfects us

00:14:51.139 --> 00:14:52.560
 relationally

00:14:52.560 --> 00:14:53.960
 so that

00:14:53.960 --> 00:14:54.500
 look at the end

00:14:54.500 --> 00:14:55.360
 of verse 14

00:14:55.360 --> 00:14:56.200
 of chapter 9

00:14:56.200 --> 00:14:57.960
 so that we can

00:14:57.960 --> 00:14:59.399
 serve the living God

00:14:59.399 --> 00:15:00.820
 even though

00:15:00.820 --> 00:15:01.620
 we continually

00:15:01.620 --> 00:15:02.799
 mess up and fail.

00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:04.320
 How many times

00:15:04.320 --> 00:15:04.940
 do we get it

00:15:04.940 --> 00:15:05.600
 into our heads

00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:06.220
 that where something

00:15:06.220 --> 00:15:06.720
 goes wrong

00:15:06.720 --> 00:15:07.519
 we say something

00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:08.379
 or do something

00:15:08.379 --> 00:15:09.419
 we're overcome

00:15:09.419 --> 00:15:09.840
 with guilt

00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:10.200
 we think

00:15:10.200 --> 00:15:11.160
 we cannot serve

00:15:11.160 --> 00:15:11.780
 God anymore

00:15:11.780 --> 00:15:12.980
 I can't do it.

00:15:15.480 --> 00:15:17.000
 But He cleanses

00:15:17.000 --> 00:15:17.860
 our conscience

00:15:17.860 --> 00:15:19.200
 so that we can

00:15:19.200 --> 00:15:19.860
 serve

00:15:19.860 --> 00:15:21.520
 the living God.

00:15:22.740 --> 00:15:23.740
 I think I've

00:15:23.740 --> 00:15:24.320
 mentioned this

00:15:24.320 --> 00:15:25.500
 before but I was

00:15:25.500 --> 00:15:26.680
 plagued

00:15:26.680 --> 00:15:28.100
 as a teenager

00:15:28.100 --> 00:15:29.320
 with this.

00:15:30.100 --> 00:15:30.879
 For years

00:15:30.879 --> 00:15:31.820
 I had a Bible

00:15:31.820 --> 00:15:32.580
 beside me

00:15:32.580 --> 00:15:33.080
 and

00:15:33.080 --> 00:15:34.160
 well my parents

00:15:34.160 --> 00:15:35.100
 always encouraged

00:15:35.100 --> 00:15:35.820
 me to read it

00:15:35.820 --> 00:15:36.340
 and I would

00:15:36.340 --> 00:15:37.440
 constantly move it

00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:38.420
 I would never read it

00:15:38.419 --> 00:15:39.399
 but I would move it

00:15:39.399 --> 00:15:39.879
 around the room

00:15:39.879 --> 00:15:40.559
 just to give the

00:15:40.559 --> 00:15:41.219
 impression that

00:15:41.219 --> 00:15:42.059
 I'd read it.

00:15:42.839 --> 00:15:43.599
 But the reason

00:15:43.599 --> 00:15:44.379
 why I could never

00:15:44.379 --> 00:15:44.719
 read it

00:15:44.719 --> 00:15:45.339
 the reason why

00:15:45.339 --> 00:15:45.959
 I felt I could

00:15:45.959 --> 00:15:46.719
 never do anything

00:15:46.719 --> 00:15:47.179
 for God

00:15:47.179 --> 00:15:47.759
 was because

00:15:47.759 --> 00:15:48.599
 of guilt.

00:15:48.600 --> 00:15:52.279
 and I still

00:15:52.279 --> 00:15:53.220
 sometimes fall

00:15:53.220 --> 00:15:53.980
 into that trap

00:15:53.980 --> 00:15:54.820
 and we all

00:15:54.820 --> 00:15:55.180
 do.

00:15:55.860 --> 00:15:56.500
 We feel

00:15:56.500 --> 00:15:57.220
 we can't

00:15:57.220 --> 00:15:57.440
 serve

00:15:57.440 --> 00:15:58.019
 we can't

00:15:58.019 --> 00:15:58.560
 do anything

00:15:58.560 --> 00:16:00.519
 but He has

00:16:00.519 --> 00:16:01.279
 cleansed our

00:16:01.279 --> 00:16:01.779
 conscience

00:16:01.779 --> 00:16:02.519
 so that we

00:16:02.519 --> 00:16:02.899
 can.

00:16:04.420 --> 00:16:05.159
 The sacrifice

00:16:05.159 --> 00:16:05.779
 of Jesus

00:16:05.779 --> 00:16:06.399
 makes us

00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:06.840
 perfect.

00:16:07.060 --> 00:16:07.300
 Second

00:16:07.300 --> 00:16:07.960
 the sacrifice

00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:08.659
 of Jesus

00:16:08.659 --> 00:16:10.600
 is sufficient.

00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:12.340
 Verse 11

00:16:12.340 --> 00:16:13.300
 of chapter 10

00:16:13.299 --> 00:16:21.439
 Day after day

00:16:21.439 --> 00:16:22.459
 every priest

00:16:22.459 --> 00:16:23.519
 stands

00:16:23.519 --> 00:16:24.899
 and performs

00:16:24.899 --> 00:16:25.839
 his religious

00:16:25.839 --> 00:16:26.439
 duties.

00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:27.759
 Again and again

00:16:27.759 --> 00:16:28.519
 he offers the

00:16:28.519 --> 00:16:29.479
 same sacrifice

00:16:29.479 --> 00:16:30.620
 which can never

00:16:30.620 --> 00:16:31.719
 take away sins.

00:16:32.019 --> 00:16:32.799
 But when this

00:16:32.799 --> 00:16:33.219
 priest

00:16:33.219 --> 00:16:34.019
 that's Jesus

00:16:34.019 --> 00:16:34.859
 had offered

00:16:34.859 --> 00:16:35.839
 for all time

00:16:35.839 --> 00:16:37.159
 one sacrifice

00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:37.759
 for sins

00:16:37.759 --> 00:16:39.059
 he sat down

00:16:39.059 --> 00:16:39.659
 at the right

00:16:39.659 --> 00:16:40.939
 hand of God.

00:16:40.940 --> 00:16:43.020
 Like our

00:16:43.020 --> 00:16:43.820
 sacrifices

00:16:43.820 --> 00:16:44.960
 the priest

00:16:44.960 --> 00:16:45.460
 here

00:16:45.460 --> 00:16:46.380
 had to offer

00:16:46.380 --> 00:16:47.120
 sacrifices

00:16:47.120 --> 00:16:48.160
 again and

00:16:48.160 --> 00:16:49.080
 again and

00:16:49.080 --> 00:16:49.440
 again.

00:16:50.100 --> 00:16:50.900
 He was so

00:16:50.900 --> 00:16:51.820
 busy making

00:16:51.820 --> 00:16:52.600
 sacrifices

00:16:52.600 --> 00:16:53.740
 look at verse 11

00:16:53.740 --> 00:16:54.680
 he was always

00:16:54.680 --> 00:16:55.860
 having to stand

00:16:55.860 --> 00:16:57.000
 and perform

00:16:57.000 --> 00:16:57.600
 his religious

00:16:57.600 --> 00:16:58.060
 duties.

00:16:58.380 --> 00:16:58.920
 He could never

00:16:58.920 --> 00:16:59.580
 sit down

00:16:59.580 --> 00:17:00.040
 and have a

00:17:00.040 --> 00:17:00.420
 break.

00:17:00.760 --> 00:17:01.180
 No sooner

00:17:01.180 --> 00:17:01.740
 was one

00:17:01.740 --> 00:17:02.580
 sacrifice done

00:17:02.580 --> 00:17:02.980
 then he had

00:17:02.980 --> 00:17:03.560
 to do another

00:17:03.560 --> 00:17:04.039
 one and by

00:17:04.039 --> 00:17:04.420
 the time

00:17:04.420 --> 00:17:04.860
 he'd finished

00:17:04.860 --> 00:17:05.480
 that the

00:17:05.480 --> 00:17:05.940
 person who

00:17:05.940 --> 00:17:06.539
 had started

00:17:06.539 --> 00:17:07.279
 was there

00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:07.680
 again.

00:17:09.740 --> 00:17:10.160
 And no

00:17:10.160 --> 00:17:10.660
 sooner do

00:17:10.660 --> 00:17:11.220
 we make

00:17:11.220 --> 00:17:12.140
 one sacrifice

00:17:12.140 --> 00:17:12.660
 for sin

00:17:12.660 --> 00:17:13.380
 then we're

00:17:13.380 --> 00:17:13.840
 having to

00:17:13.840 --> 00:17:14.380
 make another

00:17:14.380 --> 00:17:15.220
 one again

00:17:15.220 --> 00:17:16.259
 and again.

00:17:18.060 --> 00:17:18.779
 But when

00:17:18.779 --> 00:17:19.300
 Jesus

00:17:19.300 --> 00:17:20.060
 sacrificed

00:17:20.060 --> 00:17:21.019
 himself for

00:17:21.019 --> 00:17:21.360
 us

00:17:21.360 --> 00:17:22.040
 verse 12

00:17:22.040 --> 00:17:22.640
 look at

00:17:22.640 --> 00:17:22.900
 what he

00:17:22.900 --> 00:17:23.259
 does.

00:17:23.960 --> 00:17:24.580
 He's not

00:17:24.580 --> 00:17:25.480
 standing and

00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:26.259
 performing his

00:17:26.259 --> 00:17:27.240
 religious duties

00:17:27.240 --> 00:17:29.400
 what does he

00:17:29.400 --> 00:17:29.640
 do?

00:17:29.759 --> 00:17:30.300
 He sat

00:17:30.300 --> 00:17:30.800
 down

00:17:30.800 --> 00:17:31.880
 at the

00:17:31.880 --> 00:17:32.360
 right hand

00:17:32.360 --> 00:17:32.880
 of God.

00:17:34.040 --> 00:17:34.880
 It's telling

00:17:34.880 --> 00:17:35.440
 us that his

00:17:35.440 --> 00:17:35.920
 sacrifice

00:17:35.920 --> 00:17:37.480
 is complete.

00:17:38.759 --> 00:17:39.360
 It's

00:17:39.359 --> 00:17:39.839
 sufficient.

00:17:41.039 --> 00:17:41.579
 We don't

00:17:41.579 --> 00:17:42.579
 need to

00:17:42.579 --> 00:17:43.079
 be adding

00:17:43.079 --> 00:17:44.079
 our little

00:17:44.079 --> 00:17:44.939
 acts of

00:17:44.939 --> 00:17:45.500
 sacrifice.

00:17:45.939 --> 00:17:46.719
 It's done.

00:17:46.919 --> 00:17:47.719
 It's final.

00:17:47.919 --> 00:17:48.639
 It's over.

00:17:48.639 --> 00:17:49.579
 It is

00:17:49.579 --> 00:17:50.639
 finished.

00:17:53.159 --> 00:17:54.139
 But more

00:17:54.139 --> 00:17:54.539
 than that

00:17:54.539 --> 00:17:55.539
 the impact

00:17:55.539 --> 00:17:56.179
 of this

00:17:56.179 --> 00:17:56.599
 what we

00:17:56.599 --> 00:17:57.259
 might call

00:17:57.259 --> 00:17:58.500
 a once

00:17:58.500 --> 00:17:59.059
 for all

00:17:59.059 --> 00:17:59.740
 sacrifice

00:17:59.740 --> 00:18:01.399
 is that

00:18:01.399 --> 00:18:01.659
 it's

00:18:01.659 --> 00:18:02.419
 eternal.

00:18:03.459 --> 00:18:03.839
 Look at

00:18:03.839 --> 00:18:04.639
 verse 14.

00:18:06.639 --> 00:18:07.159
 Because

00:18:07.159 --> 00:18:08.019
 by one

00:18:08.019 --> 00:18:08.679
 sacrifice

00:18:08.680 --> 00:18:09.740
 he has

00:18:09.740 --> 00:18:10.080
 made

00:18:10.080 --> 00:18:10.900
 perfect

00:18:10.900 --> 00:18:13.779
 forever.

00:18:15.400 --> 00:18:16.140
 He doesn't

00:18:16.140 --> 00:18:16.519
 make us

00:18:16.519 --> 00:18:17.180
 perfect for

00:18:17.180 --> 00:18:17.680
 one day

00:18:17.680 --> 00:18:18.080
 and then we

00:18:18.080 --> 00:18:18.400
 have to

00:18:18.400 --> 00:18:18.820
 kind of go

00:18:18.820 --> 00:18:19.380
 back again

00:18:19.380 --> 00:18:19.880
 and start

00:18:19.880 --> 00:18:20.360
 all over

00:18:20.360 --> 00:18:20.700
 again.

00:18:21.400 --> 00:18:21.900
 It doesn't

00:18:21.900 --> 00:18:22.279
 mean that

00:18:22.279 --> 00:18:22.720
 kind of at

00:18:22.720 --> 00:18:23.100
 the end

00:18:23.100 --> 00:18:23.360
 of a

00:18:23.360 --> 00:18:23.740
 month or

00:18:23.740 --> 00:18:23.960
 at the

00:18:23.960 --> 00:18:24.220
 end of

00:18:24.220 --> 00:18:24.600
 a year

00:18:24.600 --> 00:18:25.060
 we kind

00:18:25.060 --> 00:18:25.259
 of have

00:18:25.259 --> 00:18:25.600
 to do

00:18:25.600 --> 00:18:26.000
 something

00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:26.360
 extra

00:18:26.360 --> 00:18:26.880
 special.

00:18:27.320 --> 00:18:27.539
 No,

00:18:27.640 --> 00:18:28.160
 because of

00:18:28.160 --> 00:18:28.580
 one

00:18:28.580 --> 00:18:29.299
 sacrifice

00:18:29.299 --> 00:18:30.060
 he has

00:18:30.060 --> 00:18:30.320
 made

00:18:30.320 --> 00:18:30.880
 perfect

00:18:30.880 --> 00:18:32.080
 forever.

00:18:35.360 --> 00:18:36.460
 He removes

00:18:36.460 --> 00:18:37.220
 the stain

00:18:37.220 --> 00:18:37.740
 of our

00:18:37.740 --> 00:18:38.120
 guilt

00:18:38.120 --> 00:18:39.180
 perfectly

00:18:39.180 --> 00:18:39.840
 and

00:18:39.840 --> 00:18:40.519
 sufficiently.

00:18:42.519 --> 00:18:43.120
 Everything

00:18:43.120 --> 00:18:43.539
 dealt

00:18:43.539 --> 00:18:43.880
 with.

00:18:46.759 --> 00:18:47.500
 Now the

00:18:47.500 --> 00:18:48.140
 big question

00:18:48.140 --> 00:18:48.840
 is this.

00:18:50.079 --> 00:18:50.840
 How can

00:18:50.840 --> 00:18:51.200
 we,

00:18:51.779 --> 00:18:52.299
 how can

00:18:52.299 --> 00:18:52.860
 I

00:18:52.860 --> 00:18:54.360
 experience

00:18:54.360 --> 00:18:55.100
 a

00:18:55.100 --> 00:18:55.799
 cleansed

00:18:55.799 --> 00:18:56.160
 guilty

00:18:56.160 --> 00:18:56.860
 conscience

00:18:56.860 --> 00:18:58.180
 so that

00:18:58.180 --> 00:18:58.519
 I can

00:18:58.519 --> 00:18:59.079
 live my

00:18:59.079 --> 00:18:59.759
 life fully

00:18:59.759 --> 00:19:00.380
 for God

00:19:00.380 --> 00:19:01.019
 and no

00:19:01.019 --> 00:19:01.579
 longer be

00:19:01.579 --> 00:19:02.180
 plagued

00:19:02.180 --> 00:19:02.720
 and bogged

00:19:02.720 --> 00:19:03.039
 down

00:19:03.039 --> 00:19:03.920
 in my

00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:04.320
 guilt?

00:19:07.140 --> 00:19:07.759
 Well,

00:19:07.840 --> 00:19:08.160
 third,

00:19:08.560 --> 00:19:09.220
 how the

00:19:09.220 --> 00:19:09.700
 sacrifice

00:19:09.700 --> 00:19:10.420
 of Jesus

00:19:10.420 --> 00:19:11.640
 is

00:19:11.640 --> 00:19:12.400
 experienced

00:19:12.400 --> 00:19:13.220
 and becomes

00:19:13.220 --> 00:19:13.920
 a reality

00:19:13.920 --> 00:19:15.060
 in our

00:19:15.060 --> 00:19:15.560
 lives.

00:19:16.340 --> 00:19:17.140
 If we're

00:19:17.140 --> 00:19:17.519
 going to

00:19:17.519 --> 00:19:18.120
 experience

00:19:18.120 --> 00:19:19.120
 the benefits

00:19:19.120 --> 00:19:19.900
 of a

00:19:19.900 --> 00:19:20.420
 cleansed

00:19:20.420 --> 00:19:20.740
 guilty

00:19:20.740 --> 00:19:21.299
 conscience

00:19:21.299 --> 00:19:23.019
 then we

00:19:23.019 --> 00:19:23.560
 need two

00:19:23.560 --> 00:19:24.120
 things

00:19:24.120 --> 00:19:25.360
 and we

00:19:25.360 --> 00:19:25.840
 find them

00:19:25.840 --> 00:19:26.259
 in verses

00:19:26.259 --> 00:19:27.019
 15 to

00:19:27.019 --> 00:19:27.440
 18.

00:19:27.560 --> 00:19:27.900
 The two

00:19:27.900 --> 00:19:28.360
 things we

00:19:28.360 --> 00:19:28.720
 need

00:19:28.720 --> 00:19:29.640
 is the

00:19:29.640 --> 00:19:30.140
 word of

00:19:30.140 --> 00:19:30.519
 God

00:19:30.519 --> 00:19:32.639
 and the

00:19:32.639 --> 00:19:33.079
 spirit

00:19:33.079 --> 00:19:33.319
 of

00:19:33.319 --> 00:19:33.639
 God.

00:19:34.519 --> 00:19:35.160
 Not

00:19:35.160 --> 00:19:35.700
 separately

00:19:35.700 --> 00:19:37.240
 but

00:19:37.240 --> 00:19:37.680
 together.

00:19:37.799 --> 00:19:38.180
 The word

00:19:38.180 --> 00:19:38.680
 of God

00:19:38.680 --> 00:19:39.420
 and the

00:19:39.420 --> 00:19:39.759
 spirit

00:19:39.759 --> 00:19:40.299
 of God

00:19:40.299 --> 00:19:41.059
 working

00:19:41.059 --> 00:19:41.619
 together

00:19:41.619 --> 00:19:42.099
 in

00:19:42.099 --> 00:19:42.859
 partnership.

00:19:45.500 --> 00:19:46.119
 First,

00:19:46.240 --> 00:19:46.539
 the word

00:19:46.539 --> 00:19:46.960
 of God,

00:19:47.059 --> 00:19:47.779
 verse 15.

00:19:48.740 --> 00:19:49.379
 The Holy

00:19:49.379 --> 00:19:50.619
 Spirit also

00:19:50.619 --> 00:19:51.660
 testifies to

00:19:51.660 --> 00:19:52.139
 us about

00:19:52.139 --> 00:19:52.519
 this.

00:19:53.319 --> 00:19:54.000
 First he

00:19:54.000 --> 00:19:54.400
 says,

00:19:55.119 --> 00:19:55.639
 this is the

00:19:55.639 --> 00:19:56.240
 covenant I

00:19:56.240 --> 00:19:56.680
 will make

00:19:56.680 --> 00:19:57.160
 with them.

00:19:57.619 --> 00:19:58.160
 After that

00:19:58.160 --> 00:19:58.519
 time,

00:19:58.639 --> 00:19:58.980
 says the

00:19:58.980 --> 00:19:59.220
 Lord,

00:19:59.400 --> 00:20:00.099
 I will put

00:20:00.099 --> 00:20:00.799
 my laws

00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:01.159
 in their

00:20:01.159 --> 00:20:02.740
 hearts and

00:20:02.740 --> 00:20:03.059
 I will

00:20:03.059 --> 00:20:03.779
 write them

00:20:03.779 --> 00:20:04.459
 on their

00:20:04.459 --> 00:20:05.059
 minds.

00:20:06.619 --> 00:20:07.179
 Now some

00:20:07.179 --> 00:20:07.599
 of you will

00:20:07.599 --> 00:20:07.959
 know that

00:20:07.959 --> 00:20:08.539
 this quote

00:20:08.539 --> 00:20:08.939
 here in

00:20:08.939 --> 00:20:09.579
 verse 16

00:20:09.579 --> 00:20:10.119
 is a quote

00:20:10.119 --> 00:20:10.500
 from the

00:20:10.500 --> 00:20:10.779
 prophet

00:20:10.779 --> 00:20:11.459
 Jeremiah

00:20:11.459 --> 00:20:13.639
 about a

00:20:13.639 --> 00:20:14.339
 new covenant,

00:20:14.500 --> 00:20:14.899
 a new

00:20:14.899 --> 00:20:15.579
 relationship

00:20:15.579 --> 00:20:16.219
 that God

00:20:16.219 --> 00:20:16.740
 has promised

00:20:16.740 --> 00:20:17.159
 to his

00:20:17.159 --> 00:20:17.459
 people,

00:20:17.579 --> 00:20:17.879
 one we

00:20:17.879 --> 00:20:18.699
 enjoy today.

00:20:19.439 --> 00:20:20.219
 But instead

00:20:20.219 --> 00:20:21.000
 of saying

00:20:21.000 --> 00:20:21.419
 in verse

00:20:21.419 --> 00:20:21.959
 15,

00:20:22.419 --> 00:20:22.839
 Jeremiah

00:20:22.839 --> 00:20:24.099
 testifies to

00:20:24.099 --> 00:20:24.500
 them,

00:20:24.980 --> 00:20:25.319
 look at

00:20:25.319 --> 00:20:25.619
 what it

00:20:25.619 --> 00:20:25.980
 says,

00:20:26.699 --> 00:20:27.679
 the Holy

00:20:27.679 --> 00:20:28.859
 Spirit also

00:20:28.859 --> 00:20:29.939
 testifies to

00:20:29.939 --> 00:20:30.659
 us.

00:20:32.500 --> 00:20:33.079
 What

00:20:33.079 --> 00:20:33.599
 Jeremiah

00:20:33.599 --> 00:20:34.439
 spoke to

00:20:34.439 --> 00:20:34.939
 the people

00:20:34.939 --> 00:20:37.299
 then is

00:20:37.299 --> 00:20:37.919
 the same

00:20:37.919 --> 00:20:38.659
 word that

00:20:38.659 --> 00:20:39.219
 the Holy

00:20:39.219 --> 00:20:40.219
 Spirit speaks

00:20:40.219 --> 00:20:40.799
 to us

00:20:40.799 --> 00:20:41.639
 today.

00:20:42.679 --> 00:20:43.399
 As we

00:20:43.399 --> 00:20:44.199
 read the

00:20:44.199 --> 00:20:44.599
 word of

00:20:44.599 --> 00:20:44.979
 God,

00:20:46.019 --> 00:20:46.619
 so the

00:20:46.619 --> 00:20:47.359
 Spirit of

00:20:47.359 --> 00:20:48.099
 God takes

00:20:48.099 --> 00:20:48.959
 that same

00:20:48.959 --> 00:20:50.659
 word and

00:20:50.659 --> 00:20:51.319
 applies it

00:20:51.319 --> 00:20:52.000
 to our

00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:52.599
 lives.

00:20:54.139 --> 00:20:54.939
 So what

00:20:54.939 --> 00:20:55.299
 does this

00:20:55.299 --> 00:20:55.819
 word tell

00:20:55.819 --> 00:20:56.179
 us?

00:20:56.180 --> 00:20:57.740
 Well,

00:20:57.779 --> 00:20:58.019
 look at

00:20:58.019 --> 00:20:58.440
 the end

00:20:58.440 --> 00:20:58.779
 of verse

00:20:58.779 --> 00:20:59.320
 16.

00:21:00.539 --> 00:21:01.039
 He says,

00:21:01.120 --> 00:21:01.299
 I will

00:21:01.299 --> 00:21:01.720
 put my

00:21:01.720 --> 00:21:02.480
 laws in

00:21:02.480 --> 00:21:02.680
 their

00:21:02.680 --> 00:21:04.440
 hearts and

00:21:04.440 --> 00:21:04.759
 I will

00:21:04.759 --> 00:21:05.440
 write them

00:21:05.440 --> 00:21:05.920
 on their

00:21:05.920 --> 00:21:06.560
 minds.

00:21:07.080 --> 00:21:07.960
 So rather

00:21:07.960 --> 00:21:08.420
 than our

00:21:08.420 --> 00:21:09.160
 hearts being

00:21:09.160 --> 00:21:09.779
 filled with

00:21:09.779 --> 00:21:10.259
 a guilty

00:21:10.259 --> 00:21:11.019
 conscience,

00:21:11.820 --> 00:21:12.840
 our hearts

00:21:12.840 --> 00:21:13.279
 are now

00:21:13.279 --> 00:21:13.840
 filled with

00:21:13.840 --> 00:21:14.279
 God's

00:21:14.279 --> 00:21:14.660
 word.

00:21:15.600 --> 00:21:16.160
 Rather

00:21:16.160 --> 00:21:16.660
 than our

00:21:16.660 --> 00:21:17.500
 minds being

00:21:17.500 --> 00:21:18.220
 weighed down

00:21:18.220 --> 00:21:18.660
 with an

00:21:18.660 --> 00:21:19.220
 unclean

00:21:19.220 --> 00:21:19.980
 conscience,

00:21:20.779 --> 00:21:21.779
 our minds

00:21:21.779 --> 00:21:22.240
 are now

00:21:22.240 --> 00:21:22.799
 set on

00:21:22.799 --> 00:21:23.259
 God's

00:21:23.259 --> 00:21:23.820
 pure

00:21:23.820 --> 00:21:24.759
 word.

00:21:24.759 --> 00:21:26.579
 And the

00:21:26.579 --> 00:21:27.420
 Spirit takes

00:21:27.420 --> 00:21:27.839
 that which

00:21:27.839 --> 00:21:28.119
 is in

00:21:28.119 --> 00:21:28.599
 our hearts

00:21:28.599 --> 00:21:28.960
 and our

00:21:28.960 --> 00:21:30.259
 minds and

00:21:30.259 --> 00:21:30.720
 he begins

00:21:30.720 --> 00:21:31.299
 to work

00:21:31.299 --> 00:21:31.720
 it out

00:21:31.720 --> 00:21:32.420
 into our

00:21:32.420 --> 00:21:33.019
 lives.

00:21:34.779 --> 00:21:35.539
 Which brings

00:21:35.539 --> 00:21:36.019
 us to the

00:21:36.019 --> 00:21:36.640
 second part

00:21:36.640 --> 00:21:36.960
 of this.

00:21:37.039 --> 00:21:37.339
 It's not

00:21:37.339 --> 00:21:37.680
 just the

00:21:37.680 --> 00:21:37.980
 word of

00:21:37.980 --> 00:21:38.319
 God we

00:21:38.319 --> 00:21:38.539
 need,

00:21:38.579 --> 00:21:38.859
 we need

00:21:38.859 --> 00:21:39.359
 the Spirit

00:21:39.359 --> 00:21:39.799
 of God.

00:21:39.900 --> 00:21:40.640
 Verse 17.

00:21:41.519 --> 00:21:42.019
 Then he

00:21:42.019 --> 00:21:42.440
 adds,

00:21:43.259 --> 00:21:44.000
 their sins

00:21:44.000 --> 00:21:45.000
 and lawless

00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:46.099
 acts I

00:21:46.099 --> 00:21:46.779
 will remember

00:21:46.779 --> 00:21:47.420
 no more.

00:21:48.400 --> 00:21:48.920
 And where

00:21:48.920 --> 00:21:49.400
 these have

00:21:49.400 --> 00:21:50.119
 been forgiven,

00:21:50.879 --> 00:21:51.319
 there is

00:21:51.319 --> 00:21:52.059
 no longer

00:21:52.059 --> 00:21:53.319
 any sacrifice

00:21:53.319 --> 00:21:54.660
 for sin.

00:21:55.680 --> 00:21:56.420
 Our

00:21:56.420 --> 00:21:57.059
 conscience

00:21:57.059 --> 00:21:58.099
 has been

00:21:58.099 --> 00:21:58.759
 cleansed.

00:21:59.160 --> 00:21:59.539
 Therefore,

00:22:00.299 --> 00:22:01.099
 verse 17,

00:22:01.519 --> 00:22:02.019
 God has

00:22:02.019 --> 00:22:02.960
 no remembrance,

00:22:03.619 --> 00:22:04.019
 he has

00:22:04.019 --> 00:22:05.019
 no record

00:22:05.019 --> 00:22:05.660
 of our

00:22:05.660 --> 00:22:05.920
 sin.

00:22:07.579 --> 00:22:08.500
 And the

00:22:08.500 --> 00:22:09.400
 Spirit takes

00:22:09.400 --> 00:22:10.019
 that word,

00:22:10.140 --> 00:22:10.779
 the truth

00:22:10.779 --> 00:22:11.740
 about Jesus

00:22:11.740 --> 00:22:12.259
 and what he

00:22:12.259 --> 00:22:12.640
 has done

00:22:12.640 --> 00:22:13.220
 for us,

00:22:13.920 --> 00:22:14.640
 and he

00:22:14.640 --> 00:22:15.359
 constantly

00:22:15.359 --> 00:22:16.660
 reminds us

00:22:16.660 --> 00:22:17.539
 of what

00:22:17.539 --> 00:22:18.220
 we have.

00:22:18.660 --> 00:22:19.759
 Every time

00:22:19.759 --> 00:22:20.440
 we think

00:22:20.440 --> 00:22:21.240
 of our

00:22:21.240 --> 00:22:22.039
 sin and

00:22:22.039 --> 00:22:22.460
 we think

00:22:22.460 --> 00:22:23.339
 I'm useless,

00:22:23.339 --> 00:22:24.339
 I'm too

00:22:24.339 --> 00:22:24.740
 much of

00:22:24.740 --> 00:22:25.259
 a failure,

00:22:25.459 --> 00:22:25.759
 I can

00:22:25.759 --> 00:22:26.000
 do

00:22:26.000 --> 00:22:26.619
 nothing.

00:22:28.639 --> 00:22:29.159
 Supernaturally,

00:22:29.799 --> 00:22:30.639
 the Spirit

00:22:30.639 --> 00:22:31.279
 takes the

00:22:31.279 --> 00:22:31.699
 word and

00:22:31.699 --> 00:22:32.419
 brings to

00:22:32.419 --> 00:22:33.099
 our memory

00:22:33.099 --> 00:22:34.319
 that our

00:22:34.319 --> 00:22:34.759
 guilt is

00:22:34.759 --> 00:22:35.119
 gone.

00:22:35.480 --> 00:22:35.679
 There's

00:22:35.679 --> 00:22:36.159
 sins and

00:22:36.159 --> 00:22:36.480
 lawless

00:22:36.480 --> 00:22:36.879
 acts I

00:22:36.879 --> 00:22:37.259
 remember

00:22:37.259 --> 00:22:37.720
 no more,

00:22:37.919 --> 00:22:38.439
 I remember

00:22:38.439 --> 00:22:38.959
 no more,

00:22:39.179 --> 00:22:39.819
 I remember

00:22:39.819 --> 00:22:40.419
 no more.

00:22:44.139 --> 00:22:44.959
 But more

00:22:44.959 --> 00:22:45.579
 than that,

00:22:45.859 --> 00:22:46.500
 look back at

00:22:46.500 --> 00:22:47.220
 verse 16

00:22:47.220 --> 00:22:47.519
 again,

00:22:47.599 --> 00:22:47.959
 the last

00:22:47.959 --> 00:22:48.319
 part.

00:22:48.319 --> 00:22:48.980
 He says,

00:22:48.980 --> 00:22:49.259
 I will

00:22:49.259 --> 00:22:50.279
 put my

00:22:50.279 --> 00:22:51.779
 laws in

00:22:51.779 --> 00:22:52.480
 their hearts

00:22:52.480 --> 00:22:53.799
 and I

00:22:53.799 --> 00:22:54.380
 will write

00:22:54.380 --> 00:22:55.360
 them on

00:22:55.360 --> 00:22:56.019
 their minds.

00:22:57.279 --> 00:22:58.000
 It's like

00:22:58.000 --> 00:22:58.660
 the Spirit

00:22:58.660 --> 00:22:59.460
 takes the

00:22:59.460 --> 00:23:01.160
 word and

00:23:01.160 --> 00:23:02.039
 carves

00:23:02.039 --> 00:23:03.360
 conscience

00:23:03.360 --> 00:23:04.339
 cleansed

00:23:04.339 --> 00:23:05.500
 across our

00:23:05.500 --> 00:23:06.019
 hearts.

00:23:07.319 --> 00:23:08.120
 It's as if

00:23:08.120 --> 00:23:08.500
 it's been

00:23:08.500 --> 00:23:09.480
 carved into

00:23:09.480 --> 00:23:10.380
 our lives.

00:23:11.160 --> 00:23:11.860
 So every

00:23:11.860 --> 00:23:12.599
 time we're

00:23:12.599 --> 00:23:13.259
 tempted to

00:23:13.259 --> 00:23:14.960
 think of

00:23:14.960 --> 00:23:15.620
 how awful

00:23:15.620 --> 00:23:16.460
 or how

00:23:16.460 --> 00:23:16.980
 bad,

00:23:16.980 --> 00:23:18.460
 the Spirit

00:23:18.460 --> 00:23:19.140
 helps us

00:23:19.140 --> 00:23:19.980
 to see

00:23:19.980 --> 00:23:21.799
 what Christ

00:23:21.799 --> 00:23:23.000
 has done.

00:23:24.640 --> 00:23:25.299
 You see,

00:23:25.360 --> 00:23:25.819
 a heart

00:23:25.819 --> 00:23:26.240
 that is

00:23:26.240 --> 00:23:27.579
 filled with

00:23:27.579 --> 00:23:28.120
 God's

00:23:28.120 --> 00:23:29.579
 word will

00:23:29.579 --> 00:23:30.039
 no longer

00:23:30.039 --> 00:23:30.620
 be crushed

00:23:30.620 --> 00:23:31.339
 by guilt.

00:23:32.019 --> 00:23:32.960
 A mind

00:23:32.960 --> 00:23:33.640
 that is

00:23:33.640 --> 00:23:34.220
 filled with

00:23:34.220 --> 00:23:34.660
 God's

00:23:34.660 --> 00:23:35.380
 word will

00:23:35.380 --> 00:23:35.839
 no longer

00:23:35.839 --> 00:23:36.720
 be crippled

00:23:36.720 --> 00:23:37.539
 by guilt

00:23:37.539 --> 00:23:38.819
 because the

00:23:38.819 --> 00:23:39.599
 Holy Spirit

00:23:39.599 --> 00:23:40.380
 takes that

00:23:40.380 --> 00:23:40.759
 word,

00:23:41.180 --> 00:23:41.880
 applies it

00:23:41.880 --> 00:23:42.299
 to our

00:23:42.299 --> 00:23:42.779
 lives,

00:23:43.200 --> 00:23:43.839
 constantly

00:23:43.839 --> 00:23:44.500
 reminding

00:23:44.500 --> 00:23:44.900
 us,

00:23:45.360 --> 00:23:46.259
 speaking to

00:23:46.259 --> 00:23:46.680
 us,

00:23:46.980 --> 00:23:47.599
 that our

00:23:47.599 --> 00:23:48.299
 conscience

00:23:48.299 --> 00:23:49.400
 has been

00:23:49.400 --> 00:23:50.200
 cleansed.

00:23:53.640 --> 00:23:54.319
 The

00:23:54.319 --> 00:23:54.900
 documentary

00:23:54.900 --> 00:23:55.360
 that I

00:23:55.360 --> 00:23:55.740
 mentioned

00:23:55.740 --> 00:23:56.099
 at the

00:23:56.099 --> 00:23:56.440
 beginning,

00:23:57.579 --> 00:23:58.140
 one of

00:23:58.140 --> 00:23:58.360
 those

00:23:58.360 --> 00:23:58.920
 children,

00:24:00.180 --> 00:24:00.559
 he was

00:24:00.559 --> 00:24:00.940
 standing

00:24:00.940 --> 00:24:01.559
 before an

00:24:01.559 --> 00:24:02.039
 audience

00:24:02.039 --> 00:24:02.660
 just like

00:24:02.660 --> 00:24:03.120
 this,

00:24:04.120 --> 00:24:04.460
 and he

00:24:04.460 --> 00:24:05.039
 was talking

00:24:05.039 --> 00:24:05.460
 about

00:24:05.460 --> 00:24:07.319
 all the

00:24:07.319 --> 00:24:08.019
 atrocities

00:24:08.019 --> 00:24:08.380
 that had

00:24:08.380 --> 00:24:08.740
 happened

00:24:08.740 --> 00:24:09.400
 in World

00:24:09.400 --> 00:24:10.019
 War II,

00:24:10.160 --> 00:24:11.599
 and he

00:24:11.599 --> 00:24:12.240
 was reminding

00:24:12.240 --> 00:24:12.779
 the people

00:24:12.779 --> 00:24:13.200
 there that

00:24:13.200 --> 00:24:14.200
 his grandfather

00:24:14.200 --> 00:24:15.240
 was responsible

00:24:15.240 --> 00:24:16.000
 for all

00:24:16.000 --> 00:24:16.420
 of those

00:24:16.420 --> 00:24:17.039
 acts.

00:24:18.599 --> 00:24:18.980
 And one

00:24:18.980 --> 00:24:19.380
 of the

00:24:19.380 --> 00:24:20.000
 pupils

00:24:20.000 --> 00:24:20.720
 asked,

00:24:21.059 --> 00:24:21.480
 how did

00:24:21.480 --> 00:24:21.940
 he feel,

00:24:22.019 --> 00:24:22.240
 and he

00:24:22.240 --> 00:24:22.460
 said,

00:24:22.519 --> 00:24:22.839
 I just

00:24:22.839 --> 00:24:23.539
 feel this

00:24:23.539 --> 00:24:24.440
 overwhelming

00:24:24.440 --> 00:24:26.200
 sense of

00:24:26.200 --> 00:24:27.460
 guilt and

00:24:27.460 --> 00:24:27.839
 shame.

00:24:29.920 --> 00:24:30.519
 And then

00:24:30.519 --> 00:24:30.799
 there was

00:24:30.799 --> 00:24:31.420
 this old

00:24:31.420 --> 00:24:32.380
 man in

00:24:32.380 --> 00:24:32.900
 the corner,

00:24:33.900 --> 00:24:34.720
 and he

00:24:34.720 --> 00:24:35.299
 waved his

00:24:35.299 --> 00:24:35.779
 hand,

00:24:36.779 --> 00:24:37.779
 and he

00:24:37.779 --> 00:24:38.079
 said,

00:24:38.079 --> 00:24:39.460
 I was in

00:24:39.460 --> 00:24:39.799
 one of

00:24:39.799 --> 00:24:40.480
 those camps.

00:24:40.480 --> 00:24:42.599
 my family

00:24:42.599 --> 00:24:43.579
 had been

00:24:43.579 --> 00:24:45.059
 killed by

00:24:45.059 --> 00:24:45.400
 your

00:24:45.400 --> 00:24:46.099
 grandfather.

00:24:46.960 --> 00:24:47.539
 And he

00:24:47.539 --> 00:24:48.180
 walked up

00:24:48.180 --> 00:24:48.500
 to the

00:24:48.500 --> 00:24:48.940
 front,

00:24:50.559 --> 00:24:51.420
 and he

00:24:51.420 --> 00:24:52.779
 embraced

00:24:52.779 --> 00:24:54.259
 this man,

00:24:54.500 --> 00:24:55.039
 embraced

00:24:55.039 --> 00:24:55.380
 him.

00:24:56.120 --> 00:24:56.539
 And they

00:24:56.539 --> 00:24:56.960
 cried,

00:24:57.059 --> 00:24:57.319
 it was

00:24:57.319 --> 00:24:57.900
 emotional,

00:24:59.180 --> 00:24:59.460
 and he

00:24:59.460 --> 00:24:59.640
 said,

00:24:59.740 --> 00:25:00.160
 it's not

00:25:00.160 --> 00:25:02.099
 remembered,

00:25:02.599 --> 00:25:04.039
 it's gone,

00:25:04.700 --> 00:25:05.480
 it's gone.

00:25:05.480 --> 00:25:07.519
 And I

00:25:07.519 --> 00:25:08.039
 think just

00:25:08.039 --> 00:25:08.819
 that image,

00:25:08.980 --> 00:25:09.779
 that picture,

00:25:10.380 --> 00:25:10.720
 and that's

00:25:10.720 --> 00:25:11.220
 what I want

00:25:11.220 --> 00:25:11.839
 us to go

00:25:11.839 --> 00:25:12.380
 away with

00:25:12.380 --> 00:25:12.779
 here,

00:25:13.640 --> 00:25:14.259
 is that

00:25:14.259 --> 00:25:14.680
 it's like

00:25:14.680 --> 00:25:15.420
 the Spirit

00:25:15.420 --> 00:25:16.420
 and the

00:25:16.420 --> 00:25:17.640
 Word come

00:25:17.640 --> 00:25:18.700
 to us,

00:25:19.779 --> 00:25:20.640
 and they

00:25:20.640 --> 00:25:22.140
 embrace us

00:25:22.140 --> 00:25:22.799
 and put

00:25:22.799 --> 00:25:23.640
 their arms

00:25:23.640 --> 00:25:25.299
 around us,

00:25:26.460 --> 00:25:26.940
 reminding

00:25:26.940 --> 00:25:27.900
 us and

00:25:27.900 --> 00:25:28.799
 telling us,

00:25:29.860 --> 00:25:30.579
 your guilty

00:25:30.579 --> 00:25:31.460
 conscience

00:25:31.460 --> 00:25:33.059
 has been

00:25:33.059 --> 00:25:33.920
 cleansed.

00:25:35.480 --> 00:25:35.779
 you don't

00:25:35.779 --> 00:25:36.120
 need to

00:25:36.120 --> 00:25:36.539
 bring it

00:25:36.539 --> 00:25:37.059
 with you

00:25:37.059 --> 00:25:38.279
 anymore.

00:25:39.200 --> 00:25:39.779
 It's

00:25:39.779 --> 00:25:40.160
 gone.

00:25:40.819 --> 00:25:41.299
 It's

00:25:41.299 --> 00:25:41.839
 finished.

00:25:42.500 --> 00:25:43.059
 It's

00:25:43.059 --> 00:25:43.480
 over.

00:25:46.759 --> 00:25:47.400
 Let's

00:25:47.400 --> 00:25:48.019
 pray.

00:25:48.019 --> 00:25:48.140
 Let's

00:25:48.140 --> 00:25:48.160
 pray.

00:25:48.160 --> 00:26:04.120
 I'm

00:26:04.120 --> 00:26:06.400
 just

00:26:06.400 --> 00:26:06.840
 going to

00:26:06.840 --> 00:26:07.220
 read

00:26:07.220 --> 00:26:09.900
 a verse

00:26:09.900 --> 00:26:10.540
 that comes

00:26:10.540 --> 00:26:10.820
 from

00:26:10.820 --> 00:26:11.700
 Hebrews 10

00:26:11.700 --> 00:26:12.620
 verse 22.

00:26:14.460 --> 00:26:15.120
 And then

00:26:15.120 --> 00:26:15.460
 I'm going

00:26:15.460 --> 00:26:16.200
 to pause

00:26:16.200 --> 00:26:17.940
 and I'd

00:26:17.940 --> 00:26:18.340
 just like

00:26:18.340 --> 00:26:18.680
 there to

00:26:18.680 --> 00:26:20.460
 be some

00:26:20.460 --> 00:26:21.100
 silence

00:26:21.100 --> 00:26:22.019
 that each

00:26:22.019 --> 00:26:22.759
 one here

00:26:22.759 --> 00:26:24.220
 can reflect

00:26:24.220 --> 00:26:24.640
 on what

00:26:24.640 --> 00:26:24.920
 we've

00:26:24.920 --> 00:26:25.259
 said,

00:26:26.360 --> 00:26:28.819
 can confess

00:26:28.819 --> 00:26:29.279
 where we

00:26:29.279 --> 00:26:29.700
 need to

00:26:29.700 --> 00:26:30.259
 confess,

00:26:32.019 --> 00:26:33.160
 and can

00:26:33.160 --> 00:26:34.080
 ask God

00:26:34.080 --> 00:26:36.180
 that by

00:26:36.180 --> 00:26:36.840
 His Spirit

00:26:36.840 --> 00:26:37.279
 He would

00:26:37.279 --> 00:26:37.860
 take His

00:26:37.860 --> 00:26:38.220
 Word

00:26:38.220 --> 00:26:41.140
 and give

00:26:41.140 --> 00:26:41.539
 us that

00:26:41.539 --> 00:26:43.019
 sense of

00:26:43.019 --> 00:26:43.740
 a cleansed

00:26:43.740 --> 00:26:44.360
 conscience.

00:26:44.359 --> 00:26:48.479
 let us

00:26:48.479 --> 00:26:49.000
 draw near

00:26:49.000 --> 00:26:49.539
 to God

00:26:49.539 --> 00:26:50.000
 with a

00:26:50.000 --> 00:26:50.579
 sincere

00:26:50.579 --> 00:26:51.119
 heart

00:27:20.900 --> 00:27:21.620
