00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.500
 Good morning. If y'all will, go ahead and turn with me to Psalm 130.

00:00:05.940 --> 00:00:07.000
!

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:37.500
 We've particularly been trying to hide this information, but we haven't been like a complete open book either.

00:00:38.140 --> 00:00:47.060
 So before you freak out, yes is the answer to that, that we probably are moving, but you've likely got us for another year.

00:00:47.060 --> 00:00:55.719
 So I'm from Paulding County. All my family lives there. There's like a water's hole section of land.

00:00:55.719 --> 00:01:02.799
 And many of y'all know my sister Chelsea, my brother-in-law Sam, who were CFC people a few years back.

00:01:03.019 --> 00:01:10.319
 They just built a house down there. Of course, y'all know the Stricklands, and they're moving to Paulding as well.

00:01:11.140 --> 00:01:17.859
 And most of Margaret's family is also down there. They all live in Cobb County, which is neighboring to Paulding.

00:01:17.859 --> 00:01:25.780
 And I say all that to say, ever since Everett was born, I've realized how much I valued time with my grandparents.

00:01:26.939 --> 00:01:38.879
 I was always a 75-yard walk up a hill to them, and my grandparents are currently still living and want to give us some land if we would want it that we could build on.

00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:46.500
 And with a lot of our family being really like-minded with us and all of the practical helps that being so close to family would bring.

00:01:47.299 --> 00:01:58.519
 And honestly, Margaret and I just really wanting Everett to grow up around cousins and aunts and uncles and grandparents and even great-grandparents right now.

00:01:59.399 --> 00:02:06.280
 We'd toy around with the idea of moving for a really, really long time, but it seems like we are heading that way.

00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:12.060
 So I know a lot of you guys knew that, but I wanted to clue y'all into that.

00:02:12.219 --> 00:02:18.740
 Y'all, I don't know, I think I've processed a lot of the emotions behind it because we've been thinking about it for so long.

00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:29.159
 But we go like one direction to the other of being super happy and excited to really sad, to really happy back to really sad.

00:02:29.300 --> 00:02:33.240
 So I wanted to let everyone know about that.

00:02:33.240 --> 00:02:41.379
 And I promise for right now not to try to recruit all of the other CFC people with Paulding County roots.

00:02:43.719 --> 00:02:45.500
 But for right now.

00:02:46.460 --> 00:02:54.760
 Anyway, I say all that to say, yeah, we'll be missing a few Sundays coming up to check out some churches down there.

00:02:55.060 --> 00:03:00.240
 And we're okay, but we likely are heading that direction.

00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:03.659
 So, okay, I'm going to try to not get all emotional.

00:03:03.820 --> 00:03:04.840
 So let's get into Psalm 130.

00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:09.340
 I'm sure y'all will hear lots more about the potential of us moving and coming up.

00:03:09.600 --> 00:03:10.820
 But Psalm 130.

00:03:11.420 --> 00:03:15.200
 Some of y'all may remember a while back, I think it was just over a month ago,

00:03:15.640 --> 00:03:19.219
 I did the little homily right before the Lord's Supper on this psalm.

00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:23.700
 And I really enjoyed doing the little bit of studying for that that I did then.

00:03:23.699 --> 00:03:27.639
 And I think this is a psalm that we could really think through well as a church.

00:03:28.659 --> 00:03:29.819
 And so let's get into it.

00:03:30.019 --> 00:03:33.799
 So I'll read it, and then we'll get into just a little bit of background on it,

00:03:33.799 --> 00:03:35.459
 and then we'll get into the main part of our study.

00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:37.000
 So Psalm 130.

00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:41.500
 Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord.

00:03:42.379 --> 00:03:43.860
 O Lord, hear my voice.

00:03:44.099 --> 00:03:47.659
 Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my pleas for mercy.

00:03:48.599 --> 00:03:51.759
 If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand?

00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:55.099
 But with you there is forgiveness that you may be feared.

00:03:56.259 --> 00:03:57.340
 I wait for the Lord.

00:03:57.420 --> 00:03:58.479
 My soul waits.

00:03:58.920 --> 00:04:00.259
 And in his word I hope.

00:04:00.920 --> 00:04:04.300
 My soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen for the morning.

00:04:04.620 --> 00:04:06.439
 More than watchmen for the morning.

00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:08.719
 O Israel, hope in the Lord.

00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:13.340
 For with the Lord there is steadfast love, and with him is plentiful redemption.

00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:17.879
 And he will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:20.660
 So this is our psalm this morning.

00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:27.019
 Psalms are often broken down into different categories just based on their themes or based on the context.

00:04:27.579 --> 00:04:29.699
 This one's often called a penitential psalm.

00:04:30.220 --> 00:04:34.040
 And that group of psalms focuses a lot on sorrow over sin,

00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:36.860
 seeing a need for the Lord's forgiveness,

00:04:37.340 --> 00:04:39.520
 a desire to turn away from sin,

00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:41.620
 and to look to the Lord for help.

00:04:42.379 --> 00:04:44.340
 You could call them psalms of repentance,

00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:46.980
 as we would likely say more often.

00:04:46.980 --> 00:04:51.540
 Probably the most well-known psalm of this type is Psalm 51.

00:04:51.980 --> 00:04:55.379
 And we know that David there was repenting of his sin with Bathsheba.

00:04:55.900 --> 00:05:00.920
 And some of that familiar wording from that psalm is probably coming to our minds already.

00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:03.540
 Think about verses 1 through 4 of that psalm where it says,

00:05:03.540 --> 00:05:05.900
 Have mercy on me, O God.

00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:09.040
 According to your steadfast love, according to your abundant mercy,

00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:10.780
 blot out my transgressions.

00:05:11.400 --> 00:05:14.439
 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.

00:05:14.900 --> 00:05:17.960
 For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me.

00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:22.180
 Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight,

00:05:22.600 --> 00:05:25.780
 so that you may be justified in your words and blameless in your judgment.

00:05:26.580 --> 00:05:29.379
 You might think of verses 10 through 13 of that psalm.

00:05:29.379 --> 00:05:33.699
 Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.

00:05:34.219 --> 00:05:37.819
 Cast me not away from your presence, and take not your Holy Spirit from me.

00:05:38.439 --> 00:05:43.199
 Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit.

00:05:43.699 --> 00:05:46.899
 Then I will teach transgressors your ways, and sinners will return to you.

00:05:48.019 --> 00:05:52.019
 Another common one is Psalm 32, where David says,

00:05:52.120 --> 00:05:54.779
 I acknowledge my sin to you, and I did not cover my iniquity.

00:05:55.079 --> 00:05:57.639
 I said, I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,

00:05:57.639 --> 00:05:59.459
 and you forgave the iniquity of my sin.

00:06:00.539 --> 00:06:05.879
 Those two are probably the most common psalms when we think of psalms that are showing repentance.

00:06:06.819 --> 00:06:13.419
 But then we get to this one, probably the most common, and the next most common.

00:06:14.500 --> 00:06:17.439
 And with it, I want to structure it in a couple of ways.

00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:21.039
 But there's that phrase that's so striking at the beginning,

00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:23.259
 the out of the depths.

00:06:23.259 --> 00:06:28.360
 And that's kind of how this whole psalm flows from that.

00:06:29.259 --> 00:06:32.039
 Spurgeon once summarized this psalm by saying,

00:06:32.699 --> 00:06:37.439
 Out of the depths we cry, wait, watch, and hope.

00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:42.800
 And I'd like to borrow a bit of that, and use that for part of our structure this morning.

00:06:42.980 --> 00:06:44.980
 So we're going to look at three different parts of it.

00:06:45.339 --> 00:06:47.240
 Firstly, out of the depths we cry.

00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:51.819
 Secondly, out of the depths we watch and wait.

00:06:53.480 --> 00:06:55.980
 And then thirdly, out of the depths we hope.

00:06:57.319 --> 00:06:59.180
 So that's how we're going to structure it this morning.

00:06:59.460 --> 00:07:02.420
 And be aware that point number one will be the longest.

00:07:02.579 --> 00:07:04.800
 So when I've gone 20 minutes on that one, don't be too worried.

00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:08.840
 So let's start with, Out of the depths we cry.

00:07:09.220 --> 00:07:13.220
 We're going to look at the first four verses with this one.

00:07:13.220 --> 00:07:17.800
 So our psalm begins with, Out of the depths we cry.

00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:23.400
 When we hear that word depths, we might be thinking of at least a couple of different things.

00:07:23.540 --> 00:07:28.820
 We might think of just being in a really hard situation, a circumstance that's really pressing on us.

00:07:29.220 --> 00:07:34.240
 Or we might think instead of really battling sin struggles in ourself.

00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:40.699
 In this psalm, though, I think the phrase is made pretty clear, even with just looking at our English translation,

00:07:41.259 --> 00:07:43.900
 of what type of depths are being talked about here.

00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:46.340
 Why I say that is look in verse three.

00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:50.879
 We begin seeing talks of iniquities and forgiveness.

00:07:51.620 --> 00:07:56.920
 As we see our psalmist begin to state that if the Lord truly marked all our iniquities and counted those against us,

00:07:57.019 --> 00:07:58.300
 that no one could stand.

00:07:58.300 --> 00:08:03.639
 Given that context, I think that's a pretty clear indicator that in verse one,

00:08:04.220 --> 00:08:08.300
 the psalmist is not just talking about a hard, non-moral situation,

00:08:08.819 --> 00:08:14.600
 but instead the psalmist is talking about really struggling against sin, battling against sin.

00:08:15.699 --> 00:08:21.519
 And in this battle of sin, I want us to notice something about the urgency of how the psalmist is speaking.

00:08:21.519 --> 00:08:25.919
 We have the wording, out of the depths, but getting a little bit past that,

00:08:26.740 --> 00:08:31.419
 you might see something even more intense, maybe.

00:08:32.039 --> 00:08:37.639
 So we have the depths, the deep pit of sorrow, shame, guilt, maybe even a little bit of just self-hatred.

00:08:38.279 --> 00:08:40.779
 But then notice, out of the depths we cry.

00:08:40.779 --> 00:08:49.220
 Not an out of the depths I come to you, or out of the depths I reach out to you, Lord,

00:08:49.559 --> 00:08:52.419
 or out of the depths I call to you.

00:08:53.659 --> 00:08:56.919
 Now, while the psalmist is currently certainly doing those things,

00:08:57.019 --> 00:08:59.720
 coming to the Lord, reaching out to the Lord, calling on his name,

00:09:00.419 --> 00:09:06.059
 those are not the word that he chose to use to describe what he's doing.

00:09:06.240 --> 00:09:08.179
 Instead, he uses the word cry.

00:09:08.179 --> 00:09:12.059
 He's not in an emotional state where he's thinking,

00:09:12.259 --> 00:09:15.359
 Oh, Lord, I'm just struggling with sin again.

00:09:16.439 --> 00:09:20.439
 He's instead really hit with the weight of his sin,

00:09:20.779 --> 00:09:24.059
 and therefore he cries out to the Lord.

00:09:24.899 --> 00:09:27.199
 And look at verse 2, where it says,

00:09:27.339 --> 00:09:29.379
 Oh, Lord, hear my voice.

00:09:29.539 --> 00:09:32.959
 Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my pleas for mercy.

00:09:32.960 --> 00:09:37.800
 We see the psalmist calling the name of the Lord again.

00:09:38.820 --> 00:09:39.620
 And note what he says.

00:09:39.700 --> 00:09:44.160
 He doesn't say, Lord, answer my prayer, or give me what I want.

00:09:44.240 --> 00:09:46.120
 Give me exactly what I ask.

00:09:47.560 --> 00:09:50.920
 But instead, he asks the Lord to hear him.

00:09:52.340 --> 00:09:57.920
 Ask the Lord to hear his voice, to be attentive to his pleas for mercy.

00:09:57.919 --> 00:10:01.620
 Let's make me think a little bit about kids

00:10:01.620 --> 00:10:07.379
 and how kids can often struggle with thinking that they know better than their parents

00:10:07.379 --> 00:10:08.459
 what would be best for them.

00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:13.159
 We even already see this with Everett when he's just about to turn one.

00:10:14.039 --> 00:10:17.199
 He always wants to eat bread, and that's not a good situation.

00:10:17.200 --> 00:10:24.180
 We might think of a kid that is wanting to hold something or touch something

00:10:24.180 --> 00:10:26.720
 that their parent knows is dangerous,

00:10:27.500 --> 00:10:30.060
 or a kid wanting to stay up past their bedtime

00:10:30.060 --> 00:10:33.700
 when their parent knows that that would totally wreck them for the next day.

00:10:35.560 --> 00:10:40.600
 And I bring that up to say the psalmist is not like this at all.

00:10:40.600 --> 00:10:47.540
 Well, he's recognizing that our Lord knows what he needs much more than he himself.

00:10:48.899 --> 00:10:52.139
 When we're seeing him not asking the Lord to answer his prayer,

00:10:52.220 --> 00:10:53.240
 but just to hear him,

00:10:53.899 --> 00:10:56.320
 that yes, he will argue his case before the Lord,

00:10:56.480 --> 00:10:59.340
 pour out his heart before the Lord,

00:10:59.480 --> 00:11:03.800
 but ultimately what he's asking here is he wants the Lord to hear him.

00:11:04.899 --> 00:11:08.460
 And then he will entrust his soul to the Lord, our faithful creator,

00:11:08.460 --> 00:11:12.440
 for what the Lord decides to do in the situation.

00:11:14.580 --> 00:11:19.160
 When we're in repentance, do we have that same level of humility?

00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:24.780
 Do we have that same level of just pouring out our hearts to God,

00:11:25.540 --> 00:11:28.740
 trusting him to do what would be best for us?

00:11:29.620 --> 00:11:32.660
 Or, I think something I can often struggle with,

00:11:32.700 --> 00:11:33.879
 when we're coming in repentance,

00:11:35.019 --> 00:11:38.060
 do we already seem to know all of the answers?

00:11:38.059 --> 00:11:40.719
 Do we put ourselves in the place of God and know,

00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:42.919
 this is exactly what I should do to fix this?

00:11:43.479 --> 00:11:46.159
 Do we seem to have the solutions to all our problems,

00:11:46.259 --> 00:11:48.899
 all worked out with our solution, right?

00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:55.799
 Do we even ask the Lord at times to give us exactly what we want in prayer,

00:11:55.939 --> 00:11:57.259
 which turns our prayers into,

00:11:57.959 --> 00:12:00.059
 let our will be done, not yours, Lord.

00:12:01.899 --> 00:12:05.659
 Spurgeon once made the following statement when reflecting about this verse.

00:12:05.659 --> 00:12:08.539
 If the Lord will hear us,

00:12:08.639 --> 00:12:10.759
 we will leave it to his superior wisdom

00:12:10.759 --> 00:12:13.459
 to decide whether he will answer us or not.

00:12:14.139 --> 00:12:17.639
 It is better for our prayer to be heard than answered.

00:12:18.379 --> 00:12:20.600
 If the Lord were to make an absolute promise

00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:22.179
 to answer all our requests,

00:12:22.439 --> 00:12:24.679
 it might be rather a curse than a blessing,

00:12:25.079 --> 00:12:28.120
 for it would be casting the responsibility upon ourselves,

00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:30.939
 and we should be placed in a very anxious position.

00:12:30.940 --> 00:12:33.760
 But now the Lord hears our desires,

00:12:34.020 --> 00:12:35.000
 and that is enough.

00:12:35.540 --> 00:12:37.320
 We only wish him to grant them

00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:38.960
 in his infinite wisdom.

00:12:39.520 --> 00:12:42.640
 He sees that it would be good for our good and for his glory.

00:12:43.560 --> 00:12:44.960
 So we call to the Lord,

00:12:45.860 --> 00:12:47.600
 and let's really be thankful

00:12:47.600 --> 00:12:50.380
 that he doesn't grant everything that we ask,

00:12:51.020 --> 00:12:54.200
 because his wisdom is so much higher than ours.

00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:58.360
 Our growth, our salvation, our sanctification,

00:12:58.560 --> 00:13:00.680
 even whether our prayers are answered,

00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:03.680
 are ultimately orchestrated by the Lord,

00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:04.980
 who in his infinite wisdom

00:13:04.980 --> 00:13:09.180
 always has his glory and our good in mind.

00:13:10.440 --> 00:13:12.100
 So the psalmist is called to the Lord,

00:13:12.820 --> 00:13:15.320
 pleading that the Lord would hear his cry,

00:13:15.420 --> 00:13:17.280
 would be attentive to his pleas for mercy.

00:13:17.920 --> 00:13:19.240
 Now let's get down into verse 3,

00:13:19.300 --> 00:13:21.060
 and I think verse 3 is the verse

00:13:21.060 --> 00:13:23.600
 that brings so many people to the psalm.

00:13:24.200 --> 00:13:26.879
 And I think many of us really like to use it

00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:29.360
 to talk about the heart of the gospel.

00:13:29.580 --> 00:13:31.000
 And so let's reread it again now.

00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:32.120
 Verse 3,

00:13:32.160 --> 00:13:33.900
 If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities,

00:13:34.120 --> 00:13:36.080
 O Lord, who could stand?

00:13:37.640 --> 00:13:39.540
 I think this verse is so framing

00:13:39.540 --> 00:13:43.040
 in the way we should think through this whole psalm.

00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:47.720
 The psalmist initially is in such deep sorrow over sin.

00:13:47.759 --> 00:13:49.180
 He's seeing the depths of himself.

00:13:49.379 --> 00:13:51.980
 He sees his sin very clearly,

00:13:51.980 --> 00:13:53.639
 and he sees a holy God,

00:13:53.759 --> 00:13:55.960
 and he realizes the depth of his need.

00:13:57.360 --> 00:14:00.340
 And notice also how often he's addressing the Lord.

00:14:00.820 --> 00:14:02.200
 You might just look through the psalm

00:14:02.200 --> 00:14:06.659
 and so quickly see how often he's just calling the Lord,

00:14:06.740 --> 00:14:08.340
 the reverence that he's showing

00:14:08.340 --> 00:14:11.159
 in his position compared to that of the Lord.

00:14:11.159 --> 00:14:12.919
 And then in verse 3,

00:14:12.980 --> 00:14:15.339
 I think it drives that idea home

00:14:15.339 --> 00:14:17.559
 that if the Lord should mark iniquities,

00:14:18.039 --> 00:14:19.120
 who could stand?

00:14:19.379 --> 00:14:19.860
 In other words,

00:14:19.899 --> 00:14:22.139
 if our sin was truly counted against us,

00:14:22.199 --> 00:14:23.620
 would there be anyone left?

00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:26.100
 Would anyone pass the test?

00:14:28.319 --> 00:14:31.659
 He's not only feeling the need to cry out in brokenness,

00:14:31.659 --> 00:14:32.939
 but in this verse,

00:14:32.980 --> 00:14:34.439
 he's truly confessing

00:14:34.439 --> 00:14:36.500
 that he could not stand before God.

00:14:37.299 --> 00:14:39.399
 In fact, that no one could.

00:14:39.799 --> 00:14:42.079
 I think we would all give the obvious answer

00:14:42.079 --> 00:14:43.419
 to this rhetorical question.

00:14:44.120 --> 00:14:44.639
 No one,

00:14:45.179 --> 00:14:47.199
 no one could stand before the Lord.

00:14:47.740 --> 00:14:50.219
 Other scripture that's probably already popping into your mind

00:14:50.219 --> 00:14:51.120
 makes this so clear.

00:14:51.539 --> 00:14:52.500
 Think about Romans 3

00:14:52.500 --> 00:14:54.459
 that's actually quoting a couple different psalms.

00:14:55.120 --> 00:14:55.779
 None is righteous,

00:14:55.939 --> 00:14:56.519
 no, not one.

00:14:56.620 --> 00:14:57.439
 No one understands,

00:14:57.579 --> 00:14:58.519
 no one seeks for God.

00:14:58.579 --> 00:14:59.600
 All have turned aside.

00:14:59.600 --> 00:15:01.700
 Together they have become worthless.

00:15:01.980 --> 00:15:03.000
 No one does good,

00:15:03.700 --> 00:15:04.639
 not even one.

00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:07.080
 None of us could stand

00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:09.600
 if our sin were truly counted against us.

00:15:10.320 --> 00:15:11.560
 I would wager to say

00:15:11.560 --> 00:15:12.779
 that none of us could stand

00:15:12.779 --> 00:15:15.240
 if we just looked at our lives

00:15:15.240 --> 00:15:16.600
 over this past morning.

00:15:17.659 --> 00:15:20.980
 From the people that get up crazy early around 4

00:15:20.980 --> 00:15:24.220
 to the people that are rolling out of bed around 9.45.

00:15:25.180 --> 00:15:27.200
 I bet all of us,

00:15:27.200 --> 00:15:31.100
 no matter if we've had just a couple hours of being awake

00:15:31.100 --> 00:15:33.620
 or if we've had six hours of being awake,

00:15:34.300 --> 00:15:35.540
 I would wager to say

00:15:35.540 --> 00:15:36.759
 that all of us could pinpoint

00:15:36.759 --> 00:15:38.280
 some sort of sin

00:15:38.280 --> 00:15:39.759
 that we've struggled with today.

00:15:40.160 --> 00:15:41.480
 Whether it be an action

00:15:41.480 --> 00:15:43.680
 or whether it just be something in our minds,

00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:45.600
 something in our hearts,

00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:47.620
 none of us could stand.

00:15:48.780 --> 00:15:50.200
 But then we see verse 4.

00:15:50.680 --> 00:15:52.980
 And I think the sweetness of verse 4

00:15:52.980 --> 00:15:55.920
 really drives the rest of the psalm.

00:15:56.639 --> 00:15:58.960
 Let's read 3 and 4 again together

00:15:58.960 --> 00:16:00.039
 so we can remember that flow.

00:16:01.039 --> 00:16:02.639
 If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities,

00:16:02.879 --> 00:16:04.220
 O Lord, who could stand?

00:16:05.080 --> 00:16:06.639
 But with you there is forgiveness

00:16:06.639 --> 00:16:08.480
 that you may be feared.

00:16:09.680 --> 00:16:11.740
 A while back when I did this psalm

00:16:11.740 --> 00:16:12.879
 at the beginning of the Lord's Supper,

00:16:13.320 --> 00:16:17.019
 I compared this to the other but-gods in Scripture

00:16:17.019 --> 00:16:19.159
 of us maybe even thinking Ephesians 2,

00:16:19.820 --> 00:16:21.200
 right, of but God being rich in mercy

00:16:21.200 --> 00:16:22.920
 because of the great love of which he loved us, right?

00:16:22.980 --> 00:16:25.060
 That kind of thing of Paul explaining the gospel

00:16:25.060 --> 00:16:28.660
 after explaining our sin.

00:16:29.300 --> 00:16:30.420
 And the psalmist is doing

00:16:30.420 --> 00:16:32.580
 a very, very similar thing.

00:16:33.100 --> 00:16:34.080
 He's cried out to the Lord

00:16:34.080 --> 00:16:37.160
 with a deep pit of sorrow over sin.

00:16:37.280 --> 00:16:39.300
 He's pleading his cry for mercy.

00:16:39.900 --> 00:16:42.420
 He has acknowledged that no one can stand

00:16:42.420 --> 00:16:45.480
 in light of a holy God based on our sin.

00:16:46.200 --> 00:16:47.759
 But then he makes this such wonderful,

00:16:48.160 --> 00:16:48.980
 freeing statement

00:16:48.980 --> 00:16:50.360
 about the character of our Lord.

00:16:51.200 --> 00:16:52.820
 But with you there is forgiveness

00:16:52.820 --> 00:16:54.700
 that you may be feared.

00:16:55.560 --> 00:16:57.020
 Elsewhere in another psalm,

00:16:57.180 --> 00:16:58.640
 Psalm 86, verse 5,

00:16:59.080 --> 00:16:59.740
 we read,

00:16:59.879 --> 00:17:02.240
 For you, O Lord, are good and forgiving,

00:17:03.040 --> 00:17:04.400
 abounding in steadfast love

00:17:04.400 --> 00:17:05.940
 to all who call upon you.

00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:09.539
 We know the psalmist had a really clear picture

00:17:09.539 --> 00:17:13.779
 that the Lord was a very forgiving God

00:17:13.779 --> 00:17:16.559
 to a very undeserving people.

00:17:16.559 --> 00:17:20.460
 This might make us think back to Old Testament text

00:17:20.460 --> 00:17:22.779
 where the Lord proclaims his character.

00:17:22.940 --> 00:17:25.839
 Think about after Moses had broken the tablets

00:17:25.839 --> 00:17:27.639
 and the Lord was asking him to make new ones.

00:17:27.740 --> 00:17:30.019
 Exodus 34, verses 6 and 7 say,

00:17:30.019 --> 00:17:32.559
 The Lord passed before him and proclaimed,

00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:33.779
 The Lord, the Lord,

00:17:33.879 --> 00:17:35.200
 a God merciful and gracious,

00:17:35.859 --> 00:17:38.200
 slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love

00:17:38.200 --> 00:17:39.759
 and faithfulness,

00:17:40.240 --> 00:17:41.819
 keeping steadfast love for thousands,

00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:44.039
 forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin,

00:17:44.400 --> 00:17:46.539
 but who will by no means clear the guilty,

00:17:47.259 --> 00:17:49.660
 visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children

00:17:49.660 --> 00:17:50.799
 and the children's children

00:17:50.799 --> 00:17:52.440
 to the third and the fourth generation.

00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:54.680
 And I bring all that up

00:17:54.680 --> 00:17:58.039
 to say that there was some strong knowledge

00:17:58.039 --> 00:17:58.920
 and awareness,

00:17:59.180 --> 00:18:00.019
 even at this time,

00:18:00.080 --> 00:18:02.259
 of the great mercy of our God.

00:18:03.539 --> 00:18:05.960
 While the how, the why of Christ

00:18:05.960 --> 00:18:07.580
 was not yet fully understood,

00:18:07.820 --> 00:18:09.980
 fully realized to these people in this day,

00:18:10.039 --> 00:18:11.100
 there was some good understanding

00:18:11.100 --> 00:18:14.140
 that the Lord was a very forgiving God,

00:18:14.299 --> 00:18:16.019
 merciful, gracious, slow to anger,

00:18:16.860 --> 00:18:18.380
 abounding in steadfast love,

00:18:18.380 --> 00:18:22.920
 but also a God who will by no means clear the guilty.

00:18:23.980 --> 00:18:25.060
 And so with that reality,

00:18:25.160 --> 00:18:26.480
 the psalmist is pleading,

00:18:26.760 --> 00:18:27.600
 knowing that with the Lord,

00:18:27.660 --> 00:18:29.520
 he has been given such mercy

00:18:29.520 --> 00:18:31.140
 and how thankful he is,

00:18:31.180 --> 00:18:32.320
 how humble he is

00:18:32.320 --> 00:18:34.300
 as acknowledging that

00:18:34.300 --> 00:18:36.640
 he's not deserving of this mercy at all,

00:18:37.280 --> 00:18:38.760
 that truly no one deserves it,

00:18:38.900 --> 00:18:40.880
 but we in the psalmist here

00:18:40.880 --> 00:18:43.660
 has been graciously given it by the Lord.

00:18:45.100 --> 00:18:45.860
 Spurgeon, again,

00:18:45.940 --> 00:18:46.900
 I'm going to quote Spurgeon a lot,

00:18:47.260 --> 00:18:48.200
 once said of this verse,

00:18:48.380 --> 00:18:50.760
 free, full, sovereign pardon

00:18:50.760 --> 00:18:52.840
 is in the hand of the great king.

00:18:53.500 --> 00:18:54.980
 It is his prerogative to forgive

00:18:54.980 --> 00:18:57.140
 and he delights to exercise it.

00:18:57.500 --> 00:18:59.100
 Because his nature is mercy

00:18:59.100 --> 00:19:01.780
 and because he has provided a sacrifice for sin,

00:19:02.320 --> 00:19:03.760
 therefore forgiveness is with him

00:19:03.760 --> 00:19:05.760
 and for all that come to him

00:19:05.760 --> 00:19:07.120
 confessing their sins.

00:19:08.200 --> 00:19:10.780
 All those who come to the Lord in faith

00:19:10.780 --> 00:19:11.920
 may have this forgiveness.

00:19:12.740 --> 00:19:14.540
 We as modern day Christians

00:19:14.540 --> 00:19:17.460
 may have an even greater understanding

00:19:17.460 --> 00:19:20.240
 that while we can look back

00:19:20.240 --> 00:19:21.539
 to the person and work of Christ,

00:19:21.680 --> 00:19:23.160
 the psalmist in this day looked forward

00:19:23.160 --> 00:19:24.980
 and trusted in the forgiving character

00:19:24.980 --> 00:19:25.559
 of the Lord.

00:19:26.600 --> 00:19:27.740
 Now let's consider that blessing

00:19:27.740 --> 00:19:28.680
 of that clarity

00:19:28.680 --> 00:19:30.980
 of that hope we have.

00:19:32.440 --> 00:19:35.160
 That not based on any goodness of ourselves,

00:19:35.579 --> 00:19:37.240
 we have been given such grace

00:19:37.240 --> 00:19:38.100
 from the Lord.

00:19:38.099 --> 00:19:40.500
 The clarity of it,

00:19:40.639 --> 00:19:42.399
 think of what we have in the New Testament

00:19:42.399 --> 00:19:43.419
 explaining it now.

00:19:43.519 --> 00:19:44.539
 Think of Romans 5,

00:19:44.619 --> 00:19:45.480
 verses 6 through 11.

00:19:45.639 --> 00:19:46.319
 Y'all turn with me there.

00:19:46.439 --> 00:19:46.939
 Romans 5.

00:19:55.559 --> 00:19:56.219
 Romans 5,

00:19:56.259 --> 00:19:57.000
 verses 6 through 11,

00:19:57.059 --> 00:19:57.959
 I think makes this

00:19:57.959 --> 00:19:58.980
 so clear

00:19:58.980 --> 00:20:00.139
 and so precious to us.

00:20:01.980 --> 00:20:03.059
 Picking up in verse 6,

00:20:03.059 --> 00:20:03.279
 it says,

00:20:03.279 --> 00:20:04.619
 For while we were still weak,

00:20:04.740 --> 00:20:05.679
 at the right time,

00:20:05.779 --> 00:20:07.299
 Christ died for the ungodly.

00:20:07.899 --> 00:20:09.059
 For one will scarcely die

00:20:09.059 --> 00:20:10.039
 for a righteous person,

00:20:10.119 --> 00:20:11.659
 though perhaps for a good person,

00:20:11.799 --> 00:20:12.940
 one would dare even to die.

00:20:13.480 --> 00:20:14.819
 But God chose his love for us

00:20:14.819 --> 00:20:16.539
 in that while we were still sinners,

00:20:17.039 --> 00:20:18.000
 Christ died for us.

00:20:18.519 --> 00:20:20.179
 Since therefore we have now been justified

00:20:20.179 --> 00:20:21.000
 by his blood,

00:20:21.220 --> 00:20:22.779
 much more shall we be saved by him

00:20:22.779 --> 00:20:23.779
 from the wrath of God.

00:20:24.339 --> 00:20:25.359
 For while we were enemies,

00:20:25.500 --> 00:20:26.539
 we were reconciled to God

00:20:26.539 --> 00:20:27.559
 by the death of his son.

00:20:27.960 --> 00:20:29.619
 Much more now that we are reconciled,

00:20:29.659 --> 00:20:31.039
 shall we be saved by his life.

00:20:31.039 --> 00:20:32.440
 More than that,

00:20:32.559 --> 00:20:34.180
 we also rejoice in God

00:20:34.180 --> 00:20:35.639
 through our Lord Jesus Christ,

00:20:35.879 --> 00:20:36.859
 through whom we have now

00:20:36.859 --> 00:20:37.879
 received reconciliation.

00:20:39.659 --> 00:20:41.279
 And our hope is not just there.

00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:42.639
 Think of Galatians 2.20.

00:20:42.759 --> 00:20:44.319
 I have been crucified with Christ.

00:20:44.839 --> 00:20:46.359
 It is no longer I who live,

00:20:46.440 --> 00:20:47.599
 but Christ who lives in me.

00:20:48.220 --> 00:20:49.299
 And the life I now live,

00:20:49.359 --> 00:20:50.379
 I live in the flesh,

00:20:50.579 --> 00:20:51.039
 or excuse me,

00:20:51.359 --> 00:20:52.740
 the life I now live in the flesh,

00:20:52.859 --> 00:20:54.720
 I live by faith in the Son of God

00:20:54.720 --> 00:20:55.480
 who loved me

00:20:55.480 --> 00:20:56.680
 and gave himself for me.

00:20:57.920 --> 00:20:58.720
 Or think about probably

00:20:58.720 --> 00:20:59.960
 the most well-known verse.

00:20:59.960 --> 00:21:01.600
 For God so loved the world

00:21:01.600 --> 00:21:02.759
 that he gave his only Son,

00:21:03.240 --> 00:21:04.420
 that whoever believes in him

00:21:04.420 --> 00:21:05.220
 should not perish,

00:21:05.340 --> 00:21:07.019
 but have eternal life.

00:21:07.779 --> 00:21:08.819
 Let's always remember

00:21:08.819 --> 00:21:10.440
 that hope that we have

00:21:10.440 --> 00:21:12.160
 through the forgiveness

00:21:12.160 --> 00:21:14.100
 we have in the Lord.

00:21:15.380 --> 00:21:15.660
 Okay.

00:21:16.000 --> 00:21:16.700
 Y'all might have noticed

00:21:16.700 --> 00:21:17.380
 we've been talking about

00:21:17.380 --> 00:21:18.620
 verse 4 for a while,

00:21:18.700 --> 00:21:19.680
 but we haven't talked about

00:21:19.680 --> 00:21:20.880
 the back end of it.

00:21:22.440 --> 00:21:24.000
 Reading verse 4 one more time.

00:21:24.860 --> 00:21:26.200
 But with you there is forgiveness

00:21:26.200 --> 00:21:28.200
 that you may be feared.

00:21:28.200 --> 00:21:31.279
 It might seem interesting to us

00:21:31.279 --> 00:21:32.319
 the phrasing of it.

00:21:32.400 --> 00:21:33.019
 To our mind,

00:21:33.100 --> 00:21:34.160
 we might think it would be

00:21:34.160 --> 00:21:35.259
 more likely to say

00:21:35.259 --> 00:21:35.980
 something different.

00:21:36.460 --> 00:21:36.840
 Like,

00:21:37.700 --> 00:21:38.580
 with you there is forgiveness

00:21:38.580 --> 00:21:39.940
 that you might be loved.

00:21:40.160 --> 00:21:41.460
 Or with you there is forgiveness

00:21:41.460 --> 00:21:43.019
 that your grace might be shown.

00:21:43.500 --> 00:21:44.580
 Or maybe even,

00:21:44.700 --> 00:21:45.559
 with you there is forgiveness

00:21:45.559 --> 00:21:46.819
 that you may be glorified.

00:21:47.480 --> 00:21:47.960
 Or,

00:21:48.700 --> 00:21:50.120
 even someone treating salvation

00:21:50.120 --> 00:21:50.620
 flippantly.

00:21:50.740 --> 00:21:51.580
 With you there is forgiveness

00:21:51.580 --> 00:21:52.700
 so there is no longer

00:21:52.700 --> 00:21:54.160
 a need to put away sin.

00:21:54.720 --> 00:21:55.840
 We know Paul shot that down

00:21:55.839 --> 00:21:56.299
 in Romans.

00:21:56.939 --> 00:21:57.240
 But,

00:21:57.359 --> 00:21:57.740
 instead,

00:21:58.000 --> 00:21:58.839
 we have something different.

00:21:59.019 --> 00:21:59.539
 We have,

00:21:59.939 --> 00:22:01.240
 with you there is forgiveness

00:22:01.240 --> 00:22:02.720
 that you may be feared.

00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:04.299
 This fear,

00:22:04.399 --> 00:22:04.659
 of course,

00:22:04.740 --> 00:22:06.159
 does denote a reverence

00:22:06.159 --> 00:22:07.199
 and awe,

00:22:07.319 --> 00:22:08.639
 a why me

00:22:08.639 --> 00:22:10.319
 kind of idea

00:22:10.319 --> 00:22:11.419
 that we should be amazed

00:22:11.419 --> 00:22:12.720
 that the Lord has shown us

00:22:12.720 --> 00:22:14.199
 such great mercy

00:22:14.199 --> 00:22:16.159
 when he couldn't have

00:22:16.159 --> 00:22:17.179
 just totally wiped us out.

00:22:17.859 --> 00:22:18.139
 Right?

00:22:18.279 --> 00:22:19.039
 That would be the

00:22:19.039 --> 00:22:20.339
 just thing to do.

00:22:21.159 --> 00:22:22.279
 And that way we fear him.

00:22:22.699 --> 00:22:23.899
 I think of a hymn that,

00:22:23.900 --> 00:22:25.920
 maybe we should start back

00:22:25.920 --> 00:22:27.060
 doing some more here

00:22:27.060 --> 00:22:28.080
 that is,

00:22:28.259 --> 00:22:29.220
 How Sweet and Awful.

00:22:30.080 --> 00:22:31.300
 How sweet and awful

00:22:31.300 --> 00:22:32.100
 is the place

00:22:32.100 --> 00:22:32.780
 with Christ

00:22:32.780 --> 00:22:33.700
 within the doors

00:22:33.700 --> 00:22:35.480
 while everlasting love

00:22:35.480 --> 00:22:36.640
 displays the choicest

00:22:36.640 --> 00:22:37.540
 of our stores.

00:22:38.600 --> 00:22:39.660
 While all our hearts

00:22:39.660 --> 00:22:40.620
 and all our songs

00:22:40.620 --> 00:22:42.019
 join to admire the feast,

00:22:42.180 --> 00:22:42.820
 each of us cry

00:22:42.820 --> 00:22:43.620
 with thankful tongues,

00:22:43.740 --> 00:22:43.840
 Lord,

00:22:43.920 --> 00:22:45.100
 why was I

00:22:45.100 --> 00:22:46.420
 a guest?

00:22:47.180 --> 00:22:48.000
 Why was I made

00:22:48.000 --> 00:22:48.840
 to hear thy voice

00:22:48.840 --> 00:22:49.660
 and enter

00:22:49.660 --> 00:22:50.560
 while there's room

00:22:50.560 --> 00:22:51.640
 while thousands

00:22:51.640 --> 00:22:52.880
 make a wretched choice

00:22:52.880 --> 00:22:54.240
 and rather starve

00:22:54.240 --> 00:22:55.060
 than come?

00:22:56.080 --> 00:22:56.980
 It was the same love

00:22:56.980 --> 00:22:57.980
 that spread the feast

00:22:57.980 --> 00:22:59.700
 that sweetly drew us in,

00:23:00.140 --> 00:23:01.020
 else we had still

00:23:01.020 --> 00:23:02.060
 refused to taste

00:23:02.060 --> 00:23:03.220
 and perished in our sin.

00:23:04.480 --> 00:23:05.340
 Pity the nations,

00:23:05.480 --> 00:23:05.880
 O our God,

00:23:05.980 --> 00:23:07.180
 constrain the earth to come,

00:23:07.700 --> 00:23:08.780
 send thy victorious word

00:23:08.780 --> 00:23:09.220
 abroad,

00:23:09.380 --> 00:23:10.740
 and bring the strangers home.

00:23:11.580 --> 00:23:12.580
 We long to see

00:23:12.580 --> 00:23:13.460
 thy churches full,

00:23:13.580 --> 00:23:14.680
 that all the chosen race

00:23:14.680 --> 00:23:15.800
 may with one voice

00:23:15.800 --> 00:23:16.760
 and heart and soul

00:23:16.760 --> 00:23:18.640
 sing thy redeeming grace.

00:23:18.640 --> 00:23:21.460
 So we've been giving

00:23:21.460 --> 00:23:24.060
 such great forgiveness

00:23:24.060 --> 00:23:24.820
 in Christ

00:23:24.820 --> 00:23:26.800
 while we did not

00:23:26.800 --> 00:23:28.180
 deserve it one bit.

00:23:29.000 --> 00:23:30.580
 Such undeserved forgiveness.

00:23:31.940 --> 00:23:33.020
 Why were we chosen?

00:23:33.500 --> 00:23:34.660
 While others choose

00:23:34.660 --> 00:23:37.580
 to reject that same invitation.

00:23:38.120 --> 00:23:39.520
 While we are just as

00:23:39.520 --> 00:23:40.740
 undeserving as they.

00:23:42.080 --> 00:23:42.900
 And so the psalmist

00:23:42.900 --> 00:23:45.020
 very much understands

00:23:45.020 --> 00:23:45.560
 that reality.

00:23:45.559 --> 00:23:46.700
 out of the depths

00:23:46.700 --> 00:23:48.639
 crying out,

00:23:49.759 --> 00:23:50.779
 acknowledging his sin,

00:23:50.859 --> 00:23:52.379
 and that he's so undeserving

00:23:52.379 --> 00:23:53.659
 of forgiveness.

00:23:55.319 --> 00:23:55.639
 Okay.

00:23:55.980 --> 00:23:57.019
 So I've probably been

00:23:57.019 --> 00:23:57.639
 about 20 minutes

00:23:57.639 --> 00:23:58.159
 on that point.

00:23:58.579 --> 00:23:59.240
 But I promise

00:23:59.240 --> 00:23:59.819
 the others will be

00:23:59.819 --> 00:24:00.799
 much, much shorter.

00:24:01.700 --> 00:24:02.639
 So let's get down

00:24:02.639 --> 00:24:03.639
 past verse 4

00:24:03.639 --> 00:24:05.200
 into second point.

00:24:05.700 --> 00:24:06.460
 Out of the depths

00:24:06.460 --> 00:24:07.440
 we watch

00:24:07.440 --> 00:24:08.779
 and wait.

00:24:09.319 --> 00:24:10.119
 Out of the depths

00:24:10.119 --> 00:24:10.960
 we watch

00:24:10.960 --> 00:24:12.179
 and wait.

00:24:12.399 --> 00:24:13.859
 Let's read verses 5 and 6

00:24:13.859 --> 00:24:14.460
 again.

00:24:14.460 --> 00:24:14.920
 And you'll see

00:24:14.920 --> 00:24:15.340
 the waiting,

00:24:15.579 --> 00:24:15.860
 watching,

00:24:16.019 --> 00:24:16.420
 and hoping

00:24:16.420 --> 00:24:17.460
 all of those words

00:24:17.460 --> 00:24:18.279
 all throughout here.

00:24:19.480 --> 00:24:20.299
 I wait for the Lord.

00:24:20.400 --> 00:24:21.380
 My soul waits.

00:24:21.680 --> 00:24:22.600
 And in his word

00:24:22.600 --> 00:24:23.259
 I hope.

00:24:24.200 --> 00:24:24.980
 My soul waits

00:24:24.980 --> 00:24:25.579
 for the Lord

00:24:25.579 --> 00:24:26.720
 more than watchmen

00:24:26.720 --> 00:24:27.559
 for the morning.

00:24:28.039 --> 00:24:29.299
 More than watchmen

00:24:29.299 --> 00:24:30.120
 for the morning.

00:24:31.200 --> 00:24:32.200
 So this waiting

00:24:32.200 --> 00:24:33.079
 we might ask

00:24:33.079 --> 00:24:34.120
 what is this waiting

00:24:34.120 --> 00:24:35.519
 really for?

00:24:36.360 --> 00:24:37.400
 This waiting here

00:24:37.400 --> 00:24:38.220
 seems to be

00:24:38.220 --> 00:24:38.960
 twofold.

00:24:39.240 --> 00:24:39.680
 And I think

00:24:39.680 --> 00:24:40.200
 you all will see

00:24:40.200 --> 00:24:41.480
 why I believe that.

00:24:42.259 --> 00:24:42.720
 Firstly

00:24:42.720 --> 00:24:43.279
 at the beginning

00:24:43.279 --> 00:24:43.779
 of the psalm

00:24:43.779 --> 00:24:44.200
 we noted

00:24:44.200 --> 00:24:44.980
 just the state

00:24:44.980 --> 00:24:45.440
 of being

00:24:45.440 --> 00:24:47.619
 down in the depths.

00:24:48.200 --> 00:24:49.180
 My family

00:24:49.180 --> 00:24:49.619
 growing up

00:24:49.619 --> 00:24:50.160
 often said

00:24:50.160 --> 00:24:50.779
 I'm just feeling

00:24:50.779 --> 00:24:51.799
 down in the dump.

00:24:52.420 --> 00:24:53.279
 You could use

00:24:53.279 --> 00:24:54.139
 that similar

00:24:54.139 --> 00:24:54.960
 phrasing.

00:24:56.200 --> 00:24:57.200
 Having a really,

00:24:57.440 --> 00:24:58.019
 really strong

00:24:58.019 --> 00:24:58.700
 sorrow

00:24:58.700 --> 00:25:00.000
 over sin.

00:25:01.519 --> 00:25:02.359
 This waiting

00:25:02.359 --> 00:25:03.079
 on the Lord

00:25:03.079 --> 00:25:03.879
 seems to be tied

00:25:03.879 --> 00:25:04.500
 to redemption

00:25:04.500 --> 00:25:05.359
 both now

00:25:05.359 --> 00:25:07.119
 and full

00:25:07.119 --> 00:25:07.980
 and final

00:25:07.980 --> 00:25:08.500
 redemption

00:25:08.500 --> 00:25:09.720
 in the future.

00:25:09.720 --> 00:25:10.960
 And the reason

00:25:10.960 --> 00:25:11.400
 I'm saying

00:25:11.400 --> 00:25:12.120
 this is

00:25:12.120 --> 00:25:12.759
 verses 7

00:25:12.759 --> 00:25:13.120
 and 8.

00:25:13.279 --> 00:25:13.680
 So let's get

00:25:13.680 --> 00:25:14.120
 into those

00:25:14.120 --> 00:25:14.880
 a little bit

00:25:14.880 --> 00:25:16.299
 because I think

00:25:16.299 --> 00:25:16.740
 they help us

00:25:16.740 --> 00:25:17.259
 understand

00:25:17.259 --> 00:25:17.920
 verses 5

00:25:17.920 --> 00:25:18.480
 and 6.

00:25:19.120 --> 00:25:19.640
 So let's read

00:25:19.640 --> 00:25:19.920
 those.

00:25:20.100 --> 00:25:20.519
 Oh Israel

00:25:20.519 --> 00:25:21.140
 hope in the

00:25:21.140 --> 00:25:21.559
 Lord for

00:25:21.559 --> 00:25:21.860
 with the

00:25:21.860 --> 00:25:22.259
 Lord there

00:25:22.259 --> 00:25:22.860
 is steadfast

00:25:22.860 --> 00:25:23.920
 love and

00:25:23.920 --> 00:25:24.500
 with him

00:25:24.500 --> 00:25:25.240
 is plentiful

00:25:25.240 --> 00:25:26.579
 redemption and

00:25:26.579 --> 00:25:27.400
 he will

00:25:27.400 --> 00:25:28.220
 redeem Israel

00:25:28.220 --> 00:25:28.940
 from all

00:25:28.940 --> 00:25:29.700
 his iniquities.

00:25:30.860 --> 00:25:31.480
 So in

00:25:31.480 --> 00:25:32.019
 verse 7

00:25:32.019 --> 00:25:32.799
 we see a

00:25:32.799 --> 00:25:33.339
 call to

00:25:33.339 --> 00:25:33.720
 Israel,

00:25:33.839 --> 00:25:34.200
 a call to

00:25:34.200 --> 00:25:34.539
 the people

00:25:34.539 --> 00:25:34.980
 of God

00:25:34.980 --> 00:25:35.519
 to hope

00:25:35.519 --> 00:25:35.799
 in the

00:25:35.799 --> 00:25:36.100
 Lord.

00:25:37.279 --> 00:25:37.779
 Why hope

00:25:37.779 --> 00:25:37.980
 in the

00:25:37.980 --> 00:25:38.140
 Lord?

00:25:38.140 --> 00:25:39.120
 Because with

00:25:39.120 --> 00:25:39.540
 him there

00:25:39.540 --> 00:25:40.380
 is steadfast

00:25:40.380 --> 00:25:40.840
 love.

00:25:41.340 --> 00:25:41.700
 We can have

00:25:41.700 --> 00:25:42.620
 confidence that

00:25:42.620 --> 00:25:43.220
 his love

00:25:43.220 --> 00:25:44.220
 is constantly

00:25:44.220 --> 00:25:45.400
 on us

00:25:45.400 --> 00:25:46.380
 and plentiful

00:25:46.380 --> 00:25:46.980
 redemption.

00:25:48.600 --> 00:25:48.960
 And then in

00:25:48.960 --> 00:25:49.700
 verse 8

00:25:49.700 --> 00:25:51.200
 he will

00:25:51.200 --> 00:25:52.420
 not he may

00:25:52.420 --> 00:25:53.420
 but he will

00:25:53.420 --> 00:25:54.140
 redeem Israel

00:25:54.140 --> 00:25:54.720
 from all

00:25:54.720 --> 00:25:55.500
 his iniquities.

00:25:56.560 --> 00:25:57.259
 Now I'm

00:25:57.259 --> 00:25:57.580
 bringing up

00:25:57.580 --> 00:25:58.040
 these verses

00:25:58.040 --> 00:25:58.540
 because I

00:25:58.540 --> 00:25:59.120
 think they

00:25:59.120 --> 00:26:00.060
 show exactly

00:26:00.060 --> 00:26:00.480
 what the

00:26:00.480 --> 00:26:00.960
 psalmist is

00:26:00.960 --> 00:26:01.520
 waiting on.

00:26:01.759 --> 00:26:02.440
 Both a

00:26:02.440 --> 00:26:03.700
 mindset of

00:26:03.700 --> 00:26:04.520
 having hope

00:26:04.520 --> 00:26:04.780
 in the

00:26:04.780 --> 00:26:05.000
 Lord.

00:26:05.160 --> 00:26:05.480
 He wants

00:26:05.480 --> 00:26:05.980
 his heart

00:26:05.980 --> 00:26:06.500
 to catch

00:26:06.500 --> 00:26:07.340
 up with

00:26:07.340 --> 00:26:08.000
 the reality

00:26:08.000 --> 00:26:09.220
 of what

00:26:09.220 --> 00:26:09.660
 his mind

00:26:09.660 --> 00:26:10.279
 understands

00:26:10.279 --> 00:26:11.019
 of there's

00:26:11.019 --> 00:26:11.579
 plentiful

00:26:11.579 --> 00:26:12.039
 redemption

00:26:12.039 --> 00:26:12.319
 in the

00:26:12.319 --> 00:26:12.519
 Lord.

00:26:13.400 --> 00:26:13.819
 He wants

00:26:13.819 --> 00:26:14.299
 to feel

00:26:14.299 --> 00:26:14.819
 that but

00:26:14.819 --> 00:26:15.460
 also

00:26:15.460 --> 00:26:17.980
 notice that

00:26:17.980 --> 00:26:19.059
 more full

00:26:19.059 --> 00:26:19.960
 and final

00:26:19.960 --> 00:26:20.859
 redemption

00:26:20.859 --> 00:26:21.579
 at the

00:26:21.579 --> 00:26:21.839
 end.

00:26:21.940 --> 00:26:22.819
 He will

00:26:22.819 --> 00:26:24.599
 redeem

00:26:24.599 --> 00:26:25.000
 Israel.

00:26:26.119 --> 00:26:26.680
 Many of

00:26:26.680 --> 00:26:27.039
 you guys

00:26:27.039 --> 00:26:27.420
 I know

00:26:27.420 --> 00:26:28.119
 have picked

00:26:28.119 --> 00:26:28.839
 up one

00:26:28.839 --> 00:26:29.359
 of those

00:26:29.359 --> 00:26:30.099
 many copies

00:26:30.099 --> 00:26:30.519
 of Gentle

00:26:30.519 --> 00:26:30.539
!

00:26:30.539 --> 00:26:31.000
 and Lowly

00:26:31.000 --> 00:26:31.539
 that are

00:26:31.539 --> 00:26:31.759
 in the

00:26:31.759 --> 00:26:32.019
 hallway.

00:26:34.019 --> 00:26:34.420
 And in

00:26:34.420 --> 00:26:34.920
 that book

00:26:34.920 --> 00:26:35.460
 he makes

00:26:35.460 --> 00:26:35.620
 some

00:26:35.620 --> 00:26:36.059
 really

00:26:36.059 --> 00:26:36.940
 wonderful

00:26:36.940 --> 00:26:38.380
 observations

00:26:38.380 --> 00:26:39.319
 about the

00:26:39.319 --> 00:26:39.980
 love that

00:26:39.980 --> 00:26:40.360
 the Lord

00:26:40.360 --> 00:26:41.660
 has for

00:26:41.660 --> 00:26:42.019
 us.

00:26:42.600 --> 00:26:43.100
 And in

00:26:43.100 --> 00:26:43.799
 talking about

00:26:43.799 --> 00:26:44.539
 what our

00:26:44.539 --> 00:26:45.360
 response should

00:26:45.360 --> 00:26:46.259
 be when

00:26:46.259 --> 00:26:46.779
 we're struggling

00:26:46.779 --> 00:26:47.380
 with sin

00:26:47.380 --> 00:26:48.620
 whether that's

00:26:48.620 --> 00:26:49.720
 a like

00:26:49.720 --> 00:26:50.559
 battling

00:26:50.559 --> 00:26:52.039
 our sin

00:26:52.039 --> 00:26:52.500
 in a

00:26:52.500 --> 00:26:52.980
 worldly

00:26:52.980 --> 00:26:53.519
 way of

00:26:53.519 --> 00:26:53.980
 just getting

00:26:53.980 --> 00:26:54.819
 so down

00:26:54.819 --> 00:26:55.200
 and just

00:26:55.200 --> 00:26:55.579
 fighting

00:26:55.579 --> 00:26:55.980
 ourselves

00:26:55.980 --> 00:26:56.460
 or running

00:26:56.460 --> 00:26:56.759
 to the

00:26:56.759 --> 00:26:57.120
 Lord with

00:26:57.120 --> 00:26:57.960
 godly grief

00:26:57.960 --> 00:26:59.340
 over our

00:26:59.340 --> 00:27:00.319
 sin instead

00:27:00.319 --> 00:27:00.680
 of that

00:27:00.680 --> 00:27:01.319
 wallowing

00:27:01.319 --> 00:27:02.179
 in it.

00:27:03.240 --> 00:27:03.619
 Dane

00:27:03.619 --> 00:27:03.879
 Ortlund

00:27:03.879 --> 00:27:04.220
 says,

00:27:04.679 --> 00:27:05.319
 speaking of

00:27:05.319 --> 00:27:05.759
 our Lord,

00:27:06.159 --> 00:27:06.399
 he does

00:27:06.399 --> 00:27:06.799
 not get

00:27:06.799 --> 00:27:07.319
 flustered

00:27:07.319 --> 00:27:08.200
 and frustrated

00:27:08.200 --> 00:27:09.079
 when we

00:27:09.079 --> 00:27:09.359
 come to

00:27:09.359 --> 00:27:09.720
 him for

00:27:09.720 --> 00:27:10.079
 fresh

00:27:10.079 --> 00:27:10.579
 forgiveness,

00:27:11.319 --> 00:27:12.000
 for renewed

00:27:12.000 --> 00:27:12.480
 pardon

00:27:12.480 --> 00:27:14.000
 with distress

00:27:14.000 --> 00:27:14.839
 and need

00:27:14.839 --> 00:27:15.740
 and emptiness.

00:27:16.379 --> 00:27:16.960
 That's the

00:27:16.960 --> 00:27:17.559
 whole point.

00:27:17.740 --> 00:27:18.339
 It's what

00:27:18.339 --> 00:27:18.799
 he came

00:27:18.799 --> 00:27:19.439
 to heal.

00:27:20.200 --> 00:27:20.519
 He went

00:27:20.519 --> 00:27:21.019
 down into

00:27:21.019 --> 00:27:21.559
 the horror

00:27:21.559 --> 00:27:22.240
 of death

00:27:22.240 --> 00:27:23.439
 and plunged

00:27:23.439 --> 00:27:23.779
 out through

00:27:23.779 --> 00:27:24.079
 the other

00:27:24.079 --> 00:27:24.919
 side in

00:27:24.919 --> 00:27:25.319
 order to

00:27:25.319 --> 00:27:25.839
 provide a

00:27:25.839 --> 00:27:26.319
 limitless

00:27:26.319 --> 00:27:27.220
 supply of

00:27:27.220 --> 00:27:28.339
 mercy and

00:27:28.339 --> 00:27:28.819
 grace to

00:27:28.819 --> 00:27:29.339
 his people.

00:27:31.319 --> 00:27:32.059
 This seems

00:27:32.059 --> 00:27:33.139
 to be so

00:27:33.139 --> 00:27:34.179
 similar to

00:27:34.179 --> 00:27:34.500
 what the

00:27:34.500 --> 00:27:35.379
 psalmist is

00:27:35.379 --> 00:27:35.819
 exhorting

00:27:35.819 --> 00:27:36.119
 here.

00:27:36.659 --> 00:27:37.059
 Go to

00:27:37.059 --> 00:27:37.579
 the Lord,

00:27:37.720 --> 00:27:37.879
 right?

00:27:38.019 --> 00:27:38.579
 Know your

00:27:38.579 --> 00:27:39.019
 redemption.

00:27:39.339 --> 00:27:39.700
 Know the

00:27:39.700 --> 00:27:40.619
 steadfast love

00:27:40.619 --> 00:27:41.559
 that the

00:27:41.559 --> 00:27:42.159
 Lord has

00:27:42.159 --> 00:27:42.740
 for you.

00:27:43.740 --> 00:27:44.139
 Go to

00:27:44.139 --> 00:27:44.519
 the Lord

00:27:44.519 --> 00:27:44.879
 to know

00:27:44.879 --> 00:27:45.079
 your

00:27:45.079 --> 00:27:45.579
 forgiveness

00:27:45.579 --> 00:27:46.599
 when struggling

00:27:46.599 --> 00:27:47.079
 with sin.

00:27:47.839 --> 00:27:48.200
 I think

00:27:48.200 --> 00:27:48.539
 that's part

00:27:48.539 --> 00:27:48.819
 of what

00:27:48.819 --> 00:27:49.220
 is being

00:27:49.220 --> 00:27:50.000
 weighted on

00:27:50.000 --> 00:27:50.460
 in verse

00:27:50.460 --> 00:27:50.960
 five.

00:27:51.319 --> 00:27:51.939
 That sense

00:27:51.939 --> 00:27:52.500
 of redemption,

00:27:52.759 --> 00:27:53.159
 that sense

00:27:53.159 --> 00:27:53.819
 of steadfast

00:27:53.819 --> 00:27:54.240
 love.

00:27:55.119 --> 00:27:55.519
 But that

00:27:55.519 --> 00:27:56.299
 twofold part

00:27:56.299 --> 00:27:56.599
 again,

00:27:56.799 --> 00:27:57.079
 that and

00:27:57.079 --> 00:27:57.539
 he will

00:27:57.539 --> 00:27:57.879
 redeem

00:27:57.879 --> 00:27:58.379
 Israel

00:27:58.379 --> 00:27:59.299
 from all

00:27:59.299 --> 00:27:59.439
 his

00:27:59.439 --> 00:27:59.980
 iniquities,

00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:01.159
 that sure

00:28:01.160 --> 00:28:02.300
 complete and

00:28:02.300 --> 00:28:03.400
 final sound

00:28:03.400 --> 00:28:04.259
 of that

00:28:04.259 --> 00:28:04.680
 verse,

00:28:05.160 --> 00:28:05.500
 redeeming

00:28:05.500 --> 00:28:05.720
 Israel,

00:28:05.860 --> 00:28:06.140
 redeeming

00:28:06.140 --> 00:28:06.420
 God's

00:28:06.420 --> 00:28:06.880
 people from

00:28:06.880 --> 00:28:07.500
 all their

00:28:07.500 --> 00:28:07.920
 iniquities,

00:28:08.220 --> 00:28:08.660
 that's a

00:28:08.660 --> 00:28:09.259
 different kind

00:28:09.259 --> 00:28:09.840
 of longing

00:28:09.840 --> 00:28:10.279
 for the

00:28:10.279 --> 00:28:10.779
 day when

00:28:10.779 --> 00:28:11.000
 we will

00:28:11.000 --> 00:28:11.759
 be fully

00:28:11.759 --> 00:28:13.000
 set free

00:28:13.000 --> 00:28:13.640
 from sin

00:28:13.640 --> 00:28:15.400
 and fully

00:28:15.400 --> 00:28:15.940
 sanctified.

00:28:16.040 --> 00:28:16.320
 That's a

00:28:16.320 --> 00:28:16.759
 hope for

00:28:16.759 --> 00:28:17.320
 eternity.

00:28:18.200 --> 00:28:18.660
 I believe

00:28:18.660 --> 00:28:19.480
 so many of

00:28:19.480 --> 00:28:19.860
 us can get

00:28:19.860 --> 00:28:20.519
 frustrated with

00:28:20.519 --> 00:28:21.720
 ourselves about

00:28:21.720 --> 00:28:22.240
 our sin,

00:28:22.880 --> 00:28:23.279
 feeling like

00:28:23.279 --> 00:28:23.800
 we keep doing

00:28:23.800 --> 00:28:24.320
 the same

00:28:24.320 --> 00:28:25.140
 thing over

00:28:25.140 --> 00:28:26.380
 and over

00:28:26.380 --> 00:28:26.840
 again and

00:28:26.840 --> 00:28:27.279
 long for

00:28:27.279 --> 00:28:27.680
 eternity.

00:28:27.860 --> 00:28:28.259
 We long for

00:28:28.259 --> 00:28:28.759
 that day when

00:28:28.759 --> 00:28:29.040
 we'll be

00:28:29.040 --> 00:28:29.720
 finally and

00:28:29.720 --> 00:28:30.580
 fully freed

00:28:30.579 --> 00:28:31.359
 from sin

00:28:31.359 --> 00:28:31.839
 when all

00:28:31.839 --> 00:28:32.240
 things will

00:28:32.240 --> 00:28:32.559
 be made

00:28:32.559 --> 00:28:32.819
 new.

00:28:33.839 --> 00:28:34.220
 And that

00:28:34.220 --> 00:28:34.679
 longing for

00:28:34.679 --> 00:28:35.179
 eternity I

00:28:35.179 --> 00:28:35.460
 think is

00:28:35.460 --> 00:28:36.299
 exactly what

00:28:36.299 --> 00:28:37.259
 verse 8 is

00:28:37.259 --> 00:28:37.779
 talking about.

00:28:38.199 --> 00:28:38.740
 So we'll get

00:28:38.740 --> 00:28:39.299
 into verse 7

00:28:39.299 --> 00:28:39.980
 and 8 a bit

00:28:39.980 --> 00:28:40.319
 more in a

00:28:40.319 --> 00:28:41.199
 sec, but

00:28:41.199 --> 00:28:41.639
 think about

00:28:41.639 --> 00:28:42.220
 these waiting

00:28:42.220 --> 00:28:43.139
 and watching

00:28:43.139 --> 00:28:44.299
 words.

00:28:45.220 --> 00:28:46.019
 It's not a

00:28:46.019 --> 00:28:46.779
 sit around and

00:28:46.779 --> 00:28:47.319
 do nothing

00:28:47.319 --> 00:28:47.980
 kind of

00:28:47.980 --> 00:28:48.480
 waiting.

00:28:48.839 --> 00:28:49.639
 It's not a

00:28:49.639 --> 00:28:50.259
 standing in

00:28:50.259 --> 00:28:50.559
 line at

00:28:50.559 --> 00:28:51.199
 Walmart getting

00:28:51.199 --> 00:28:52.399
 bored kind

00:28:52.399 --> 00:28:52.799
 of waiting.

00:28:53.240 --> 00:28:54.079
 It's a much

00:28:54.079 --> 00:28:55.299
 more intense

00:28:55.299 --> 00:28:56.439
 kind of waiting.

00:28:56.579 --> 00:28:56.939
 Notice the

00:28:56.939 --> 00:28:57.199
 wording.

00:28:57.200 --> 00:28:58.220
 I wait for

00:28:58.220 --> 00:28:58.600
 the Lord

00:28:58.600 --> 00:28:58.920
 and even

00:28:58.920 --> 00:28:59.779
 more emphasis

00:28:59.779 --> 00:29:00.759
 my soul

00:29:00.759 --> 00:29:01.539
 waits.

00:29:02.299 --> 00:29:02.840
 In fact my

00:29:02.840 --> 00:29:03.420
 soul waits for

00:29:03.420 --> 00:29:03.880
 the Lord more

00:29:03.880 --> 00:29:04.559
 than watchmen

00:29:04.559 --> 00:29:05.100
 for the morning

00:29:05.100 --> 00:29:05.519
 more than

00:29:05.519 --> 00:29:06.240
 watchmen for

00:29:06.240 --> 00:29:06.700
 the morning.

00:29:07.299 --> 00:29:08.160
 We get the

00:29:08.160 --> 00:29:08.799
 picture of

00:29:08.799 --> 00:29:09.620
 guards around

00:29:09.620 --> 00:29:10.100
 the city

00:29:10.100 --> 00:29:11.980
 watching for

00:29:11.980 --> 00:29:13.180
 attackers and

00:29:13.180 --> 00:29:14.140
 wearying

00:29:14.140 --> 00:29:14.740
 themselves by

00:29:14.740 --> 00:29:15.380
 staying up

00:29:15.380 --> 00:29:16.460
 waiting for

00:29:16.460 --> 00:29:17.019
 the morning.

00:29:17.440 --> 00:29:18.360
 Or you might

00:29:18.360 --> 00:29:18.980
 think of

00:29:18.980 --> 00:29:19.620
 Matthew

00:29:19.620 --> 00:29:20.019
 Carnegie

00:29:20.019 --> 00:29:21.160
 guarding his

00:29:21.160 --> 00:29:21.680
 campers from

00:29:21.680 --> 00:29:22.120
 a bear.

00:29:23.120 --> 00:29:23.980
 Mostly kidding.

00:29:23.980 --> 00:29:26.220
 But you

00:29:26.220 --> 00:29:26.599
 might think of

00:29:26.599 --> 00:29:27.039
 something so

00:29:27.039 --> 00:29:27.440
 much more

00:29:27.440 --> 00:29:28.160
 serious as

00:29:28.160 --> 00:29:28.460
 well.

00:29:28.660 --> 00:29:29.539
 Of someone

00:29:29.539 --> 00:29:30.460
 staying awake

00:29:30.460 --> 00:29:30.860
 through the

00:29:30.860 --> 00:29:31.440
 night caring

00:29:31.440 --> 00:29:32.000
 for a sick

00:29:32.000 --> 00:29:32.579
 loved one.

00:29:33.339 --> 00:29:34.099
 Making sure

00:29:34.099 --> 00:29:34.700
 they are okay

00:29:34.700 --> 00:29:35.240
 or even

00:29:35.240 --> 00:29:36.700
 waiting at a

00:29:36.700 --> 00:29:37.360
 time when you

00:29:37.360 --> 00:29:37.880
 believe someone

00:29:37.880 --> 00:29:38.480
 will pass.

00:29:40.799 --> 00:29:41.640
 Thinking about

00:29:41.640 --> 00:29:42.559
 just being

00:29:42.559 --> 00:29:44.420
 outside overnight

00:29:44.420 --> 00:29:46.000
 and maybe

00:29:46.000 --> 00:29:46.460
 you're hunting

00:29:46.460 --> 00:29:47.000
 but whatever

00:29:47.000 --> 00:29:48.599
 it is you

00:29:48.599 --> 00:29:49.140
 get that

00:29:49.140 --> 00:29:50.539
 glimpse of

00:29:50.539 --> 00:29:51.400
 sun in the

00:29:51.400 --> 00:29:51.720
 morning.

00:29:52.339 --> 00:29:52.839
 You know that

00:29:52.839 --> 00:29:53.339
 you've got to

00:29:53.339 --> 00:29:53.740
 just make it

00:29:53.740 --> 00:29:54.019
 through a

00:29:54.019 --> 00:29:54.319
 little bit

00:29:54.319 --> 00:29:54.940
 more cold

00:29:54.940 --> 00:29:55.339
 and there

00:29:55.339 --> 00:29:55.480
 will be

00:29:55.480 --> 00:29:56.099
 these rays

00:29:56.099 --> 00:29:56.640
 hitting you

00:29:56.640 --> 00:29:57.059
 and it's

00:29:57.059 --> 00:29:58.160
 wonderful.

00:30:00.539 --> 00:30:01.120
 Do we

00:30:01.120 --> 00:30:01.519
 wait?

00:30:01.700 --> 00:30:01.940
 Do we

00:30:01.940 --> 00:30:03.400
 watch in

00:30:03.400 --> 00:30:03.839
 this way?

00:30:03.920 --> 00:30:04.140
 Do we

00:30:04.140 --> 00:30:04.779
 long to

00:30:04.779 --> 00:30:05.339
 know the

00:30:05.339 --> 00:30:06.880
 assurance of

00:30:06.880 --> 00:30:07.640
 our salvation

00:30:07.640 --> 00:30:09.039
 or long

00:30:09.039 --> 00:30:09.799
 for eternity,

00:30:10.019 --> 00:30:10.480
 long for the

00:30:10.480 --> 00:30:10.980
 day of our

00:30:10.980 --> 00:30:11.700
 Lord in this

00:30:11.700 --> 00:30:11.940
 way?

00:30:12.759 --> 00:30:13.339
 Do we

00:30:13.339 --> 00:30:13.720
 want to

00:30:13.720 --> 00:30:14.440
 know full

00:30:14.440 --> 00:30:15.559
 freedom from

00:30:15.559 --> 00:30:17.120
 sin this

00:30:17.120 --> 00:30:17.559
 much?

00:30:18.460 --> 00:30:19.019
 Do we

00:30:19.019 --> 00:30:19.359
 want to

00:30:19.359 --> 00:30:19.759
 meet the

00:30:19.759 --> 00:30:20.079
 one who

00:30:20.079 --> 00:30:20.519
 saved us

00:30:20.519 --> 00:30:20.759
 and who

00:30:20.759 --> 00:30:21.200
 kept us

00:30:21.200 --> 00:30:21.599
 by his

00:30:21.599 --> 00:30:22.559
 grace this

00:30:22.559 --> 00:30:22.940
 much?

00:30:23.740 --> 00:30:24.000
 What do

00:30:24.000 --> 00:30:24.120
 we

00:30:24.120 --> 00:30:24.579
 long for?

00:30:24.700 --> 00:30:24.880
 Where

00:30:24.880 --> 00:30:25.240
 are our

00:30:25.240 --> 00:30:26.059
 minds at

00:30:26.059 --> 00:30:27.019
 when we

00:30:27.019 --> 00:30:27.460
 daydream?

00:30:27.940 --> 00:30:28.259
 Do we

00:30:28.259 --> 00:30:28.559
 long to

00:30:28.559 --> 00:30:28.880
 be free

00:30:28.880 --> 00:30:29.500
 from sin?

00:30:29.660 --> 00:30:29.880
 Do we

00:30:29.880 --> 00:30:30.240
 long for

00:30:30.240 --> 00:30:30.559
 eternity?

00:30:30.720 --> 00:30:30.940
 Do we

00:30:30.940 --> 00:30:32.519
 wait for

00:30:32.519 --> 00:30:33.059
 the Lord

00:30:33.059 --> 00:30:34.000
 more than

00:30:34.000 --> 00:30:34.920
 watchmen for

00:30:34.920 --> 00:30:35.440
 the morning?

00:30:37.200 --> 00:30:37.859
 Okay, let's

00:30:37.859 --> 00:30:38.220
 get to our

00:30:38.220 --> 00:30:38.759
 last point.

00:30:39.079 --> 00:30:39.500
 Number three,

00:30:39.779 --> 00:30:40.099
 out of the

00:30:40.099 --> 00:30:40.660
 depths we

00:30:40.660 --> 00:30:41.200
 hope.

00:30:42.240 --> 00:30:42.859
 Out of the

00:30:42.859 --> 00:30:43.299
 depths we

00:30:43.299 --> 00:30:43.680
 hope.

00:30:44.440 --> 00:30:45.180
 We've spoken

00:30:45.180 --> 00:30:45.620
 about our

00:30:45.620 --> 00:30:46.299
 hope all

00:30:46.299 --> 00:30:46.779
 throughout the

00:30:46.779 --> 00:30:47.740
 sermon because

00:30:47.740 --> 00:30:48.160
 I believe it

00:30:48.160 --> 00:30:48.779
 was necessary

00:30:48.779 --> 00:30:49.500
 to do so in

00:30:49.500 --> 00:30:49.819
 order to

00:30:49.819 --> 00:30:50.319
 properly

00:30:50.319 --> 00:30:51.079
 understand some

00:30:51.079 --> 00:30:51.480
 of the other

00:30:51.480 --> 00:30:51.799
 verses.

00:30:51.799 --> 00:30:53.259
 In fact,

00:30:53.339 --> 00:30:53.839
 all of our

00:30:53.839 --> 00:30:54.440
 crying,

00:30:54.619 --> 00:30:54.919
 waiting,

00:30:55.319 --> 00:30:55.680
 watching,

00:30:55.859 --> 00:30:56.259
 and hoping

00:30:56.259 --> 00:30:56.759
 are all

00:30:56.759 --> 00:30:57.799
 tied so

00:30:57.799 --> 00:30:58.319
 closely

00:30:58.319 --> 00:30:59.440
 together.

00:31:00.419 --> 00:31:00.759
 Isaac

00:31:00.759 --> 00:31:01.359
 Ambrose once

00:31:01.359 --> 00:31:01.919
 said this on

00:31:01.919 --> 00:31:02.539
 your bulletin,

00:31:03.079 --> 00:31:03.720
 that hope is a

00:31:03.720 --> 00:31:04.480
 faculty of the

00:31:04.480 --> 00:31:04.940
 soul that

00:31:04.940 --> 00:31:05.700
 looks out for

00:31:05.700 --> 00:31:06.519
 mercy and

00:31:06.519 --> 00:31:07.519
 waits for the

00:31:07.519 --> 00:31:07.779
 same.

00:31:08.940 --> 00:31:09.619
 Let's notice a

00:31:09.619 --> 00:31:09.980
 couple things

00:31:09.980 --> 00:31:10.500
 about that

00:31:10.500 --> 00:31:10.759
 hope.

00:31:10.899 --> 00:31:11.559
 Firstly, in the

00:31:11.559 --> 00:31:12.740
 middle of our

00:31:12.740 --> 00:31:13.299
 waiting and

00:31:13.299 --> 00:31:14.099
 watching verses,

00:31:14.579 --> 00:31:15.440
 we see our

00:31:15.440 --> 00:31:16.099
 hope in the

00:31:16.099 --> 00:31:16.559
 waiting and

00:31:16.559 --> 00:31:17.440
 watching stages.

00:31:18.139 --> 00:31:18.839
 It's the

00:31:18.839 --> 00:31:19.559
 Lord's word.

00:31:19.559 --> 00:31:20.279
 I wait for

00:31:20.279 --> 00:31:20.519
 the Lord,

00:31:20.579 --> 00:31:21.019
 my soul

00:31:21.019 --> 00:31:21.339
 waits,

00:31:21.419 --> 00:31:21.679
 and in

00:31:21.679 --> 00:31:22.159
 his word

00:31:22.159 --> 00:31:22.759
 I hope.

00:31:24.279 --> 00:31:24.859
 Think about

00:31:24.859 --> 00:31:25.220
 the hope

00:31:25.220 --> 00:31:26.619
 that the

00:31:26.619 --> 00:31:27.220
 psalmist

00:31:27.220 --> 00:31:28.339
 had that

00:31:28.339 --> 00:31:29.039
 we see in

00:31:29.039 --> 00:31:29.639
 7 and 8

00:31:29.639 --> 00:31:30.039
 that is

00:31:30.039 --> 00:31:30.659
 coming from

00:31:30.659 --> 00:31:31.259
 the Lord's

00:31:31.259 --> 00:31:31.679
 word,

00:31:32.119 --> 00:31:32.879
 not fully

00:31:32.879 --> 00:31:33.299
 knowing the

00:31:33.299 --> 00:31:33.799
 redemption of

00:31:33.799 --> 00:31:34.000
 the Lord,

00:31:34.059 --> 00:31:34.359
 but knowing

00:31:34.359 --> 00:31:34.599
 the Lord

00:31:34.599 --> 00:31:35.099
 had a plan

00:31:35.099 --> 00:31:35.419
 for his

00:31:35.419 --> 00:31:35.839
 people to

00:31:35.839 --> 00:31:36.379
 show them

00:31:36.379 --> 00:31:37.899
 such great

00:31:37.899 --> 00:31:38.679
 mercy,

00:31:39.279 --> 00:31:39.720
 that they

00:31:39.720 --> 00:31:40.179
 would be

00:31:40.179 --> 00:31:41.339
 his people

00:31:41.339 --> 00:31:42.019
 and he

00:31:42.019 --> 00:31:42.480
 would be

00:31:42.480 --> 00:31:43.700
 their God.

00:31:43.879 --> 00:31:44.279
 And now

00:31:44.279 --> 00:31:44.819
 we having

00:31:44.819 --> 00:31:45.559
 a full

00:31:45.559 --> 00:31:46.059
 revelation

00:31:46.059 --> 00:31:46.700
 have so much

00:31:46.700 --> 00:31:48.019
 reason to

00:31:48.019 --> 00:31:48.379
 hope.

00:31:48.380 --> 00:31:49.380
 even more

00:31:49.380 --> 00:31:49.920
 understanding

00:31:49.920 --> 00:31:50.280
 that they

00:31:50.280 --> 00:31:50.600
 had.

00:31:51.080 --> 00:31:51.500
 That while

00:31:51.500 --> 00:31:52.000
 we see the

00:31:52.000 --> 00:31:52.520
 great weight

00:31:52.520 --> 00:31:52.800
 of our

00:31:52.800 --> 00:31:53.000
 sin,

00:31:53.080 --> 00:31:53.520
 when we're

00:31:53.520 --> 00:31:54.220
 in the

00:31:54.220 --> 00:31:54.680
 depths,

00:31:55.220 --> 00:31:55.820
 calling to

00:31:55.820 --> 00:31:56.200
 the Lord,

00:31:56.320 --> 00:31:56.720
 we can be

00:31:56.720 --> 00:31:57.240
 confident,

00:31:58.000 --> 00:31:58.440
 think about

00:31:58.440 --> 00:31:59.180
 Philippians 1

00:31:59.180 --> 00:31:59.640
 verse 6,

00:31:59.720 --> 00:32:00.100
 that I am

00:32:00.100 --> 00:32:01.360
 sure of

00:32:01.360 --> 00:32:01.720
 this,

00:32:02.260 --> 00:32:02.540
 that he

00:32:02.540 --> 00:32:02.900
 who began

00:32:02.900 --> 00:32:03.120
 a good

00:32:03.120 --> 00:32:03.440
 work in

00:32:03.440 --> 00:32:03.660
 you will

00:32:03.660 --> 00:32:03.920
 bring it

00:32:03.920 --> 00:32:04.040
 to

00:32:04.040 --> 00:32:04.380
 completion

00:32:04.380 --> 00:32:04.660
 at the

00:32:04.660 --> 00:32:04.880
 day of

00:32:04.880 --> 00:32:05.060
 Jesus

00:32:05.060 --> 00:32:05.500
 Christ.

00:32:06.040 --> 00:32:06.400
 We can

00:32:06.400 --> 00:32:06.840
 be so

00:32:06.840 --> 00:32:07.320
 confident

00:32:07.320 --> 00:32:07.740
 that the

00:32:07.740 --> 00:32:08.320
 Lord who

00:32:08.320 --> 00:32:08.940
 began the

00:32:08.940 --> 00:32:09.280
 work in

00:32:09.280 --> 00:32:09.560
 us will

00:32:09.560 --> 00:32:10.140
 finish

00:32:10.140 --> 00:32:11.320
 the work

00:32:11.320 --> 00:32:11.780
 in us.

00:32:13.740 --> 00:32:14.020
 And then

00:32:14.020 --> 00:32:14.500
 think about,

00:32:14.940 --> 00:32:15.480
 this will be

00:32:15.480 --> 00:32:15.880
 another place

00:32:15.880 --> 00:32:16.160
 for y'all to

00:32:16.160 --> 00:32:16.280
 turn.

00:32:16.360 --> 00:32:16.600
 Y'all go

00:32:16.600 --> 00:32:16.780
 ahead and

00:32:16.779 --> 00:32:17.079
 turn with

00:32:17.079 --> 00:32:17.339
 me to

00:32:17.339 --> 00:32:17.980
 John 6.

00:32:18.339 --> 00:32:18.879
 John 6.

00:32:26.980 --> 00:32:27.480
 This is

00:32:27.480 --> 00:32:27.740
 another

00:32:27.740 --> 00:32:28.759
 passage that

00:32:28.759 --> 00:32:30.039
 is talked

00:32:30.039 --> 00:32:30.420
 about really

00:32:30.420 --> 00:32:30.899
 well in

00:32:30.899 --> 00:32:31.319
 Gentle and

00:32:31.319 --> 00:32:31.639
 Lowly.

00:32:33.079 --> 00:32:33.599
 Let's look

00:32:33.599 --> 00:32:33.859
 at a few

00:32:33.859 --> 00:32:34.379
 verses here,

00:32:34.460 --> 00:32:35.480
 verse 35

00:32:35.480 --> 00:32:36.279
 through 40.

00:32:37.839 --> 00:32:38.579
 Jesus said

00:32:38.579 --> 00:32:38.960
 to them,

00:32:39.259 --> 00:32:39.940
 I am the

00:32:39.940 --> 00:32:40.259
 bread of

00:32:40.259 --> 00:32:40.639
 life.

00:32:41.019 --> 00:32:41.200
 Whoever

00:32:41.200 --> 00:32:41.720
 comes to

00:32:41.720 --> 00:32:42.039
 me shall

00:32:42.039 --> 00:32:42.559
 not hunger,

00:32:42.759 --> 00:32:43.119
 and whoever

00:32:43.119 --> 00:32:43.839
 believes in

00:32:43.839 --> 00:32:44.319
 me shall

00:32:44.319 --> 00:32:45.059
 never thirst.

00:32:45.799 --> 00:32:46.279
 But I

00:32:46.279 --> 00:32:46.599
 said to

00:32:46.599 --> 00:32:46.819
 you,

00:32:47.299 --> 00:32:47.859
 excuse me,

00:32:47.920 --> 00:32:48.160
 but I

00:32:48.160 --> 00:32:48.460
 said to

00:32:48.460 --> 00:32:48.899
 you that

00:32:48.899 --> 00:32:49.180
 you have

00:32:49.180 --> 00:32:49.599
 seen me,

00:32:49.700 --> 00:32:49.899
 and yet

00:32:49.899 --> 00:32:50.399
 you do

00:32:50.399 --> 00:32:51.039
 not believe.

00:32:51.480 --> 00:32:51.940
 All that

00:32:51.940 --> 00:32:52.279
 the Father

00:32:52.279 --> 00:32:52.779
 gives me

00:32:52.779 --> 00:32:53.180
 will come

00:32:53.180 --> 00:32:53.519
 to me,

00:32:53.579 --> 00:32:53.920
 and whoever

00:32:53.920 --> 00:32:54.460
 comes to

00:32:54.460 --> 00:32:54.759
 me I

00:32:54.759 --> 00:32:55.259
 will never

00:32:55.259 --> 00:32:56.099
 cast out.

00:32:56.759 --> 00:32:57.079
 For I

00:32:57.079 --> 00:32:57.299
 have come

00:32:57.299 --> 00:32:57.660
 down from

00:32:57.660 --> 00:32:58.119
 heaven not

00:32:58.119 --> 00:32:58.359
 to do

00:32:58.359 --> 00:32:58.779
 my own

00:32:58.779 --> 00:32:59.000
 will,

00:32:59.119 --> 00:32:59.379
 but the

00:32:59.379 --> 00:32:59.680
 will of

00:32:59.680 --> 00:32:59.960
 him who

00:32:59.960 --> 00:33:00.200
 sent

00:33:00.200 --> 00:33:00.420
 me.

00:33:01.220 --> 00:33:01.779
 All this

00:33:01.779 --> 00:33:02.039
 is the

00:33:02.039 --> 00:33:02.299
 will of

00:33:02.299 --> 00:33:02.559
 him who

00:33:02.559 --> 00:33:02.759
 sent

00:33:02.759 --> 00:33:02.960
 me,

00:33:03.259 --> 00:33:03.579
 that I

00:33:03.579 --> 00:33:03.740
 should

00:33:03.740 --> 00:33:03.960
 lose

00:33:03.960 --> 00:33:04.660
 nothing of

00:33:04.660 --> 00:33:04.920
 all that

00:33:04.920 --> 00:33:05.139
 he has

00:33:05.139 --> 00:33:05.319
 given

00:33:05.319 --> 00:33:05.559
 me,

00:33:05.759 --> 00:33:06.299
 but raise

00:33:06.299 --> 00:33:06.579
 it up

00:33:06.579 --> 00:33:06.819
 on the

00:33:06.819 --> 00:33:07.079
 last

00:33:07.079 --> 00:33:07.339
 day.

00:33:08.019 --> 00:33:08.220
 For

00:33:08.220 --> 00:33:08.559
 this is

00:33:08.559 --> 00:33:08.660
 the

00:33:08.660 --> 00:33:08.859
 will of

00:33:08.859 --> 00:33:09.000
 my

00:33:09.000 --> 00:33:09.279
 Father,

00:33:09.399 --> 00:33:09.539
 that

00:33:09.539 --> 00:33:09.859
 everyone

00:33:09.859 --> 00:33:10.079
 who

00:33:10.079 --> 00:33:10.419
 looks on

00:33:10.419 --> 00:33:10.559
 the

00:33:10.559 --> 00:33:10.799
 Son

00:33:10.799 --> 00:33:10.979
 and

00:33:10.979 --> 00:33:11.359
 believes

00:33:11.359 --> 00:33:11.519
 in

00:33:11.519 --> 00:33:11.799
 him

00:33:11.799 --> 00:33:12.599
 should

00:33:12.599 --> 00:33:12.799
 have

00:33:12.799 --> 00:33:13.099
 eternal

00:33:13.099 --> 00:33:13.500
 life,

00:33:13.599 --> 00:33:13.779
 and I

00:33:13.779 --> 00:33:13.879
 will

00:33:13.879 --> 00:33:14.099
 raise

00:33:14.099 --> 00:33:14.259
 him

00:33:14.259 --> 00:33:14.519
 up

00:33:14.519 --> 00:33:14.859
 on

00:33:14.859 --> 00:33:14.979
 the

00:33:14.979 --> 00:33:15.219
 last

00:33:15.219 --> 00:33:15.479
 day.

00:33:16.779 --> 00:33:17.139
 Sometimes

00:33:17.139 --> 00:33:17.639
 passages

00:33:17.639 --> 00:33:18.079
 like this

00:33:18.079 --> 00:33:18.579
 seem too

00:33:18.579 --> 00:33:18.919
 good to

00:33:18.919 --> 00:33:19.359
 be true.

00:33:20.359 --> 00:33:20.459
 I

00:33:20.459 --> 00:33:21.019
 think we

00:33:21.019 --> 00:33:21.359
 as

00:33:21.359 --> 00:33:22.459
 believers

00:33:22.459 --> 00:33:23.379
 often slip

00:33:23.379 --> 00:33:23.719
 into a

00:33:23.719 --> 00:33:24.019
 workspace

00:33:24.019 --> 00:33:24.500
 mindset

00:33:24.500 --> 00:33:24.939
 again,

00:33:25.079 --> 00:33:25.559
 that we

00:33:25.559 --> 00:33:26.500
 treat our

00:33:26.500 --> 00:33:27.019
 salvation

00:33:27.019 --> 00:33:27.419
 as coming

00:33:27.419 --> 00:33:27.639
 from

00:33:27.639 --> 00:33:27.919
 grace,

00:33:28.019 --> 00:33:28.259
 but we

00:33:28.259 --> 00:33:28.559
 treat our

00:33:28.559 --> 00:33:29.079
 sanctification

00:33:29.079 --> 00:33:29.419
 as if

00:33:29.419 --> 00:33:29.559
 it's

00:33:29.559 --> 00:33:29.799
 all a

00:33:29.799 --> 00:33:29.959
 work

00:33:29.959 --> 00:33:30.099
 of

00:33:30.099 --> 00:33:30.419
 us.

00:33:31.240 --> 00:33:31.699
 Maybe

00:33:31.699 --> 00:33:31.879
 we

00:33:31.879 --> 00:33:32.159
 believe

00:33:32.159 --> 00:33:32.299
 that

00:33:32.299 --> 00:33:32.399
 the

00:33:32.399 --> 00:33:32.519
 Lord

00:33:32.519 --> 00:33:32.679
 has

00:33:32.679 --> 00:33:33.000
 forgiven

00:33:33.000 --> 00:33:33.259
 all

00:33:33.259 --> 00:33:33.359
 of

00:33:33.359 --> 00:33:33.479
 our

00:33:33.479 --> 00:33:33.859
 past

00:33:33.859 --> 00:33:34.279
 sins

00:33:34.279 --> 00:33:35.079
 before

00:33:35.079 --> 00:33:35.319
 we

00:33:35.319 --> 00:33:35.579
 became

00:33:35.579 --> 00:33:35.740
 a

00:33:35.740 --> 00:33:36.000
 believer,

00:33:36.399 --> 00:33:36.659
 but we

00:33:36.659 --> 00:33:37.079
 struggle

00:33:37.079 --> 00:33:37.339
 to

00:33:37.339 --> 00:33:37.639
 believe

00:33:37.639 --> 00:33:37.839
 that

00:33:37.839 --> 00:33:37.979
 the

00:33:37.979 --> 00:33:38.159
 Lord

00:33:38.159 --> 00:33:38.339
 is

00:33:38.339 --> 00:33:38.639
 also

00:33:38.639 --> 00:33:39.079
 forgiving

00:33:39.079 --> 00:33:39.759
 our

00:33:39.759 --> 00:33:40.199
 current

00:33:40.199 --> 00:33:40.679
 sin

00:33:40.679 --> 00:33:41.119
 struggles.

00:33:41.979 --> 00:33:42.439
 We

00:33:42.439 --> 00:33:42.659
 believe

00:33:42.659 --> 00:33:42.799
 that

00:33:42.799 --> 00:33:42.899
 he

00:33:42.899 --> 00:33:43.039
 must

00:33:43.039 --> 00:33:43.179
 get

00:33:43.179 --> 00:33:43.459
 so

00:33:43.459 --> 00:33:43.939
 frustrated

00:33:43.939 --> 00:33:44.179
 with

00:33:44.179 --> 00:33:44.339
 us

00:33:44.339 --> 00:33:44.479
 when

00:33:44.479 --> 00:33:44.599
 we

00:33:44.599 --> 00:33:44.899
 still

00:33:44.899 --> 00:33:45.319
 sin

00:33:45.319 --> 00:33:46.519
 after

00:33:46.519 --> 00:33:46.899
 that.

00:33:47.179 --> 00:33:47.319
 Now,

00:33:47.379 --> 00:33:47.679
 while

00:33:47.679 --> 00:33:48.119
 we

00:33:48.119 --> 00:33:48.519
 should

00:33:48.519 --> 00:33:48.879
 endeavor

00:33:48.879 --> 00:33:49.119
 to

00:33:49.119 --> 00:33:49.579
 always

00:33:49.579 --> 00:33:49.919
 live

00:33:49.919 --> 00:33:50.559
 lives

00:33:50.559 --> 00:33:51.419
 worthy

00:33:51.419 --> 00:33:51.740
 of the

00:33:51.740 --> 00:33:52.019
 calling

00:33:52.019 --> 00:33:52.299
 to which

00:33:52.299 --> 00:33:52.479
 we've

00:33:52.479 --> 00:33:52.599
 been

00:33:52.599 --> 00:33:52.939
 called,

00:33:53.599 --> 00:33:53.919
 we

00:33:53.919 --> 00:33:54.119
 must

00:33:54.119 --> 00:33:54.759
 constantly

00:33:54.759 --> 00:33:55.379
 remember

00:33:55.379 --> 00:33:55.799
 that

00:33:55.799 --> 00:33:56.000
 the

00:33:56.000 --> 00:33:56.339
 whole

00:33:56.339 --> 00:33:56.939
 point

00:33:56.939 --> 00:33:57.199
 of

 gospel

00:33:57.740 --> 00:33:58.579
 is

00:33:58.579 --> 00:33:58.759
 that

00:33:58.759 --> 00:33:58.979
 we

00:33:58.979 --> 00:33:59.179
 are

00:33:59.179 --> 00:33:59.579
 not

00:33:59.579 --> 00:33:59.979
 worthy

00:34:03.359 --> 00:34:04.279
 that

00:34:04.279 --> 00:34:04.459
 the

00:34:04.459 --> 00:34:04.619
 Lord

00:34:04.619 --> 00:34:04.959
 shows

00:34:04.959 --> 00:34:05.119

 great

00:34:05.299 --> 00:34:05.479
 love

00:34:05.479 --> 00:34:05.679
 for

00:34:05.679 --> 00:34:05.839
 us

00:34:05.839 --> 00:34:05.939
 and

00:34:05.939 --> 00:34:06.099
 that

00:34:06.099 --> 00:34:06.299
 while

00:34:06.299 --> 00:34:06.459
 we

00:34:06.459 --> 00:34:06.579
 were

00:34:06.579 --> 00:34:06.959
 yet

00:34:08.619 --> 00:34:08.859
 died

00:34:08.859 --> 00:34:09.039
 for

00:34:09.039 --> 00:34:09.420
 us.

00:34:10.239 --> 00:34:10.460
 And

 according

00:34:11.119 --> 00:34:11.500
 passage

00:34:11.500 --> 00:34:11.739
 we

00:34:11.739 --> 00:34:12.019
 just

00:34:12.019 --> 00:34:12.380
 read,

00:34:13.599 --> 00:34:13.799
 will

00:34:13.799 --> 00:34:14.079
 not

00:34:14.079 --> 00:34:14.420
 cast

00:34:27.819 --> 00:34:27.980
 He

00:34:27.980 --> 00:34:28.099
 will

00:34:28.099 --> 00:34:28.400
 bring

 But

00:34:42.880 --> 00:34:43.800
 all

00:34:43.800 --> 00:34:44.340
 suffering

00:34:46.880 --> 00:34:48.099
 and

00:34:48.099 --> 00:34:48.180
 we

00:34:48.180 --> 00:34:48.320
 will

00:34:48.320 --> 00:34:48.480
 live

00:34:48.980 --> 00:34:49.460

00:34:50.200 --> 00:34:50.440
 Think

00:34:50.440 --> 00:34:50.599
 about

00:34:50.599 --> 00:34:50.780
 the

00:34:52.840 --> 00:34:54.000
 then

00:34:54.000 --> 00:34:54.079
 I

00:34:54.079 --> 00:34:54.240
 saw

00:34:55.980 --> 00:34:56.139
 for

00:34:56.139 --> 00:34:56.280
 the

00:34:58.040 --> 00:34:58.300
 passed

00:34:58.300 --> 00:34:58.640
 away

00:34:58.640 --> 00:34:58.820
 and

00:34:58.820 --> 00:34:58.980
 the

00:34:58.980 --> 00:34:59.140
 sea

00:34:59.140 --> 00:34:59.360

00:34:59.780 --> 00:35:00.800

 saw

00:35:01.040 --> 00:35:01.180
 the
