00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.379
 We're preaching through the gospel according to John, the fourth gospel.

00:00:04.600 --> 00:00:09.279
 Today our sermon text, it's the final words of Jesus while he's still in the upper room.

00:00:09.640 --> 00:00:12.919
 At the end of chapter 14, you see he calls his disciples out of there.

00:00:13.859 --> 00:00:16.559
 You could say this is the calm before the storm.

00:00:17.679 --> 00:00:21.559
 And the last words he gives his disciples in the quiet in that upper room

00:00:21.559 --> 00:00:27.580
 are the words that will remain with them until the Holy Spirit comes fulfilling everything he promises.

00:00:27.579 --> 00:00:32.820
 So as I read from John 14 beginning at verse 15,

00:00:33.899 --> 00:00:39.439
 remember this is God's inspired, inerrant, infallible, clear, and sufficient word.

00:00:39.879 --> 00:00:42.560
 It's God's very own word for you, his people.

00:00:42.839 --> 00:00:48.259
 If you believe that, if you receive it that way, I'll say this is the word of the Lord and we say thanks be to God.

00:00:49.579 --> 00:00:52.879
 John 14 starting at verse 15.

00:00:52.880 --> 00:00:59.560
 If you love me, keep my commandments.

00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:03.740
 And I will pray the Father and he shall give you another comforter,

00:01:04.379 --> 00:01:06.960
 that he may abide with you forever.

00:01:08.100 --> 00:01:13.099
 Even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive because it seeth him not,

00:01:13.579 --> 00:01:20.219
 neither knoweth him, but ye know him, for he dwelleth with you and shall be in you.

00:01:20.219 --> 00:01:23.400
 I will not leave you comfortless.

00:01:23.679 --> 00:01:24.900
 I will come to you.

00:01:25.500 --> 00:01:30.359
 Yet a little while in the world shall see me no more, but ye shall see me.

00:01:31.159 --> 00:01:34.060
 Because I live, ye shall live also.

00:01:35.560 --> 00:01:42.140
 At that day you shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.

00:01:43.599 --> 00:01:46.180
 He that hath commandments and keepeth them,

00:01:46.180 --> 00:01:51.000
 He it is that loveth me, and he that loveth me shall be loved by my Father,

00:01:51.260 --> 00:01:55.440
 and I will love him, and I will manifest myself to him.

00:01:56.800 --> 00:01:58.960
 Judas saith unto him,

00:01:59.320 --> 00:02:01.220
 That's not as scary, O Lord.

00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:06.460
 How is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us and not unto the world?

00:02:07.020 --> 00:02:09.920
 Jesus answered and said unto him,

00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:15.559
 If a man love me, he will keep my words, and my Father will love him,

00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:19.919
 and he will come unto him and make our abode with him.

00:02:20.399 --> 00:02:21.159
 Verse 24,

00:02:21.819 --> 00:02:25.519
 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings,

00:02:25.799 --> 00:02:30.419
 and the word which ye hear is not mine, but my Father's which sent me.

00:02:31.159 --> 00:02:32.000
 Verse 25,

00:02:32.399 --> 00:02:36.139
 These things I have spoken unto you, being yet present with you,

00:02:36.139 --> 00:02:39.439
 but the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, from the Father,

00:02:40.199 --> 00:02:41.479
 who he will send in my name,

00:02:41.559 --> 00:02:45.279
 he shall teach you all things, and shall bring all things to your remembrance.

00:02:45.959 --> 00:02:47.919
 Whatsoever I have said unto you,

00:02:48.919 --> 00:02:50.739
 Peace I leave with you,

00:02:51.139 --> 00:02:53.279
 my peace I give unto you,

00:02:53.859 --> 00:02:55.639
 not as the world giveth,

00:02:56.219 --> 00:02:57.699
 give I unto you.

00:02:58.779 --> 00:03:00.799
 Let not your heart be troubled,

00:03:01.379 --> 00:03:02.619
 neither let it be afraid.

00:03:02.620 --> 00:03:05.960
 Ye have heard how I said unto you,

00:03:06.099 --> 00:03:08.180
 I go away and come again unto you.

00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:09.640
 If you love me,

00:03:09.860 --> 00:03:10.780
 you would rejoice,

00:03:11.140 --> 00:03:11.939
 because I said,

00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:13.099
 I go unto the Father,

00:03:13.500 --> 00:03:15.700
 for my Father is greater than I.

00:03:16.379 --> 00:03:17.759
 And now I have told you,

00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:19.219
 before it will come to pass,

00:03:19.420 --> 00:03:21.379
 that when it does come to pass,

00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:22.740
 you might believe.

00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:24.840
 This is the word of the Lord.

00:03:25.379 --> 00:03:26.379
 Thanks be to God.

00:03:26.540 --> 00:03:27.740
 Thanks be to God indeed.

00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:28.420
 You may be seated.

00:03:28.419 --> 00:03:46.560
 Would you pray with me?

00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:46.579
 Would you pray with me?

00:03:46.580 --> 00:03:57.160
 Speak, O Lord,

00:03:58.060 --> 00:04:00.840
 until your church is built for your glory.

00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:03.939
 May your Holy Spirit with power

00:04:03.939 --> 00:04:06.439
 shed your light on these words, Father.

00:04:06.540 --> 00:04:07.680
 Give us understanding,

00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:10.340
 these words of life that Jesus Christ

00:04:10.340 --> 00:04:12.540
 has spoken to his disciples,

00:04:13.260 --> 00:04:14.060
 to his church.

00:04:14.060 --> 00:04:17.019
 Help us to receive your word with faith,

00:04:17.660 --> 00:04:20.439
 that our faith would be like an empty beggar's hand

00:04:20.439 --> 00:04:23.019
 holding on to Jesus Christ.

00:04:23.620 --> 00:04:24.399
 We pray, Lord,

00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:25.780
 that your Spirit will minister

00:04:25.780 --> 00:04:27.040
 and apply your truth,

00:04:27.340 --> 00:04:29.160
 that you will give us hearts to rejoice,

00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:31.240
 that you will comfort us, Lord,

00:04:31.340 --> 00:04:32.639
 that we will put our hope

00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:34.259
 in the finished work of Jesus.

00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:36.560
 By the power of the Spirit in us,

00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:37.079
 we ask.

00:04:37.500 --> 00:04:37.779
 Amen.

00:04:37.779 --> 00:04:37.899
 Amen.

00:04:37.899 --> 00:04:38.339
 Amen.

00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:44.279
 G.K. Chesterton once wrote,

00:04:45.299 --> 00:04:46.699
 The riddles of God

00:04:46.699 --> 00:04:48.819
 are more satisfying

00:04:48.819 --> 00:04:51.000
 than the solutions of man.

00:04:52.639 --> 00:04:54.039
 In this upper room,

00:04:54.359 --> 00:04:55.379
 our Lord Jesus is giving

00:04:55.379 --> 00:04:57.519
 some of the most glorious promises,

00:04:58.000 --> 00:04:59.759
 yet it's like they're bouncing off

00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:01.419
 the ears of his disciple like riddles.

00:05:02.099 --> 00:05:03.539
 What does Jesus mean?

00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:06.980
 I grasp that if I can understand

00:05:06.980 --> 00:05:08.100
 and receive what he says,

00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:09.280
 these are words of life.

00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:10.819
 But what does he mean?

00:05:11.540 --> 00:05:13.480
 These are difficult things you are saying, Lord.

00:05:14.120 --> 00:05:15.340
 And Judas, not as scary,

00:05:15.460 --> 00:05:16.060
 the other Judas,

00:05:16.320 --> 00:05:18.260
 he asked that question in verse 22.

00:05:18.760 --> 00:05:20.140
 Lord, how is it

00:05:20.140 --> 00:05:21.580
 that you're going to do this?

00:05:21.640 --> 00:05:24.060
 You said you will manifest yourself to us

00:05:24.060 --> 00:05:26.580
 and that the world won't see you any longer,

00:05:26.580 --> 00:05:27.560
 but we will know you

00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:29.140
 and we will have you.

00:05:29.400 --> 00:05:30.200
 How can this be?

00:05:31.139 --> 00:05:32.979
 How is it that you will manifest yourself

00:05:32.979 --> 00:05:35.139
 to us and not to the world?

00:05:37.779 --> 00:05:40.539
 Because if you have seen Jesus,

00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:42.860
 if you have ears to hear and eyes to see,

00:05:43.039 --> 00:05:44.240
 and you believe this promise

00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:44.920
 that he's given you,

00:05:44.980 --> 00:05:45.740
 you have life.

00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:46.919
 And Jesus says,

00:05:47.039 --> 00:05:48.039
 if you reject my words,

00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:49.120
 you're rejecting the Father.

00:05:49.459 --> 00:05:50.339
 He's the one who sent me

00:05:50.339 --> 00:05:51.399
 and gave me these words.

00:05:52.319 --> 00:05:54.480
 So if you receive these promises,

00:05:55.060 --> 00:05:56.039
 it means everything

00:05:56.039 --> 00:05:58.279
 for your life now and for eternity.

00:05:58.279 --> 00:06:01.059
 If you don't have ears to hear

00:06:01.059 --> 00:06:02.479
 and you reject the word

00:06:02.479 --> 00:06:03.219
 that Christ gives

00:06:03.219 --> 00:06:03.979
 and these promises,

00:06:04.659 --> 00:06:05.500
 then these promises

00:06:05.500 --> 00:06:06.899
 are not for you.

00:06:08.939 --> 00:06:10.139
 In the book of Revelation,

00:06:10.339 --> 00:06:11.339
 Jesus is depicted

00:06:11.339 --> 00:06:12.719
 not as what he will look like,

00:06:12.779 --> 00:06:13.839
 but as who he is.

00:06:14.500 --> 00:06:15.799
 And who is Jesus Christ?

00:06:16.339 --> 00:06:18.339
 From his mouth comes a sword.

00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:20.359
 And that sword is sharp

00:06:20.359 --> 00:06:21.459
 and it divides

00:06:21.459 --> 00:06:23.199
 between bone and marrow.

00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:26.159
 That's what the word of Jesus,

00:06:26.839 --> 00:06:28.319
 going out into all the world,

00:06:28.579 --> 00:06:29.620
 that's what it does.

00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:31.599
 Do you have ears to hear?

00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:34.279
 The most important thing

00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:35.599
 you can reflect on today

00:06:35.599 --> 00:06:36.659
 is whether or not

00:06:36.659 --> 00:06:38.980
 these promises are for you.

00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:42.579
 In this glorious passage,

00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:43.519
 Jesus says,

00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:46.560
 I will not leave you orphans.

00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:49.199
 But if these promises

00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:50.100
 are not for you,

00:06:50.220 --> 00:06:51.480
 you are alone.

00:06:52.699 --> 00:06:53.280
 Jesus says,

00:06:53.459 --> 00:06:55.120
 My Father will give you

00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:57.060
 another advocate in my name.

00:06:58.259 --> 00:06:59.439
 But if these promises

00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:00.319
 are not for you,

00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:02.300
 you don't have an advocate

00:07:02.300 --> 00:07:04.579
 before the holy, just God.

00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:06.420
 Jesus says,

00:07:06.779 --> 00:07:09.120
 I will come again for you.

00:07:10.079 --> 00:07:11.360
 But if these promises

00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:12.759
 are not for you,

00:07:13.259 --> 00:07:14.300
 then Christ will come

00:07:14.300 --> 00:07:15.840
 bringing the wrath of God

00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:16.879
 and the judgment of God.

00:07:17.679 --> 00:07:18.619
 He will not come

00:07:18.619 --> 00:07:19.459
 to rescue you

00:07:19.459 --> 00:07:20.319
 if you are outside

00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:21.619
 of his salvation.

00:07:23.259 --> 00:07:24.759
 Jesus says in this passage,

00:07:25.119 --> 00:07:26.659
 I will dwell with you

00:07:26.659 --> 00:07:27.459
 by my spirit.

00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:29.399
 But if these promises

00:07:29.399 --> 00:07:30.319
 are not for you,

00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:31.879
 you do not have

00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:32.699
 the Holy Spirit

00:07:32.699 --> 00:07:34.019
 dwelling in you.

00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:35.579
 God is not making

00:07:35.579 --> 00:07:36.979
 his home in you.

00:07:41.219 --> 00:07:42.620
 Jesus Christ is promising

00:07:42.620 --> 00:07:43.620
 comfort,

00:07:44.620 --> 00:07:45.000
 peace,

00:07:45.839 --> 00:07:46.619
 rejoicing

00:07:46.619 --> 00:07:48.279
 to all those

00:07:48.279 --> 00:07:49.259
 who receive

00:07:49.259 --> 00:07:49.979
 his promises.

00:07:50.619 --> 00:07:51.699
 Are these promises

00:07:51.699 --> 00:07:52.339
 for you?

00:07:52.939 --> 00:07:53.939
 How can you know

00:07:53.939 --> 00:07:55.539
 whether or not

00:07:55.539 --> 00:07:56.199
 these promises

00:07:56.199 --> 00:07:57.019
 are for you?

00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:00.379
 My objective today,

00:08:00.459 --> 00:08:01.379
 what I've been praying for,

00:08:01.459 --> 00:08:02.219
 is that by walking

00:08:02.219 --> 00:08:04.339
 through seven conditions

00:08:04.339 --> 00:08:05.179
 that Jesus gives

00:08:05.179 --> 00:08:06.259
 attached to his promises,

00:08:06.439 --> 00:08:07.179
 you'll be able to

00:08:07.179 --> 00:08:08.199
 ask the Spirit

00:08:08.199 --> 00:08:08.819
 to search you

00:08:08.819 --> 00:08:09.519
 and reflect

00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:11.120
 and discern.

00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:12.099
 Yes,

00:08:12.179 --> 00:08:12.779
 these promises

00:08:12.779 --> 00:08:13.519
 are for me

00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:15.599
 and I receive them.

00:08:16.299 --> 00:08:16.819
 And if not,

00:08:16.919 --> 00:08:17.759
 that the Lord

00:08:17.759 --> 00:08:18.459
 would take away

00:08:18.459 --> 00:08:19.500
 any false assurance

00:08:19.500 --> 00:08:20.139
 that his Spirit

00:08:20.139 --> 00:08:21.099
 would convict you

00:08:21.099 --> 00:08:22.039
 of your need

00:08:22.039 --> 00:08:22.719
 for your Savior

00:08:22.719 --> 00:08:23.620
 and that you would

00:08:23.620 --> 00:08:24.539
 run to the cross

00:08:24.539 --> 00:08:25.479
 of Jesus Christ

00:08:25.479 --> 00:08:26.299
 today.

00:08:27.479 --> 00:08:28.279
 So number one,

00:08:29.339 --> 00:08:30.139
 Christ's promises

00:08:30.139 --> 00:08:31.259
 are for you

00:08:31.259 --> 00:08:33.079
 if you love him.

00:08:33.460 --> 00:08:34.399
 Look at verse 15.

00:08:35.059 --> 00:08:35.620
 Jesus says,

00:08:35.620 --> 00:08:36.779
 if you love me,

00:08:37.379 --> 00:08:38.480
 you will keep

00:08:38.480 --> 00:08:39.259
 my commandments.

00:08:40.799 --> 00:08:41.120
 Well,

00:08:41.159 --> 00:08:41.679
 how do I know

00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:42.460
 if I love God?

00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:44.100
 His promises

00:08:44.100 --> 00:08:44.840
 are only for me

00:08:44.840 --> 00:08:45.580
 if I love him.

00:08:47.100 --> 00:08:48.019
 And he says

00:08:48.019 --> 00:08:49.100
 in the Bible,

00:08:49.580 --> 00:08:50.259
 look at the fruit

00:08:50.259 --> 00:08:51.179
 and you'll know the tree.

00:08:51.580 --> 00:08:52.320
 Is it a good tree

00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:52.980
 or a bad tree?

00:08:53.460 --> 00:08:53.620
 See,

00:08:53.659 --> 00:08:54.419
 this is very different

00:08:54.419 --> 00:08:54.940
 than saying

00:08:54.940 --> 00:08:56.320
 your good behavior

00:08:56.320 --> 00:08:57.539
 is what saves you.

00:08:57.639 --> 00:08:58.240
 This is saying

00:08:58.240 --> 00:08:59.500
 if you are grafted

00:08:59.500 --> 00:09:00.180
 into Christ,

00:09:00.980 --> 00:09:01.799
 his good fruit

00:09:01.799 --> 00:09:02.399
 will begin

00:09:02.399 --> 00:09:03.080
 to be born

00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:04.240
 in your life.

00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:06.460
 So the promises

00:09:06.460 --> 00:09:07.360
 are not for you

00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:08.400
 if you are defiant

00:09:08.400 --> 00:09:09.460
 toward King Jesus.

00:09:10.360 --> 00:09:11.200
 If you're still

00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:11.680
 holding on

00:09:11.680 --> 00:09:13.080
 to your self-righteousness

00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:14.420
 or trying to muster up

00:09:14.420 --> 00:09:14.980
 good deeds

00:09:14.980 --> 00:09:16.240
 to prove yourself worthy,

00:09:16.920 --> 00:09:17.639
 then his promises

00:09:17.639 --> 00:09:18.960
 are not for you

00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:19.480
 or for me.

00:09:20.900 --> 00:09:22.460
 This same apostle John

00:09:22.460 --> 00:09:23.379
 in 1 John 2,

00:09:23.420 --> 00:09:24.879
 he wrote to the church

00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:25.360
 and he said,

00:09:25.759 --> 00:09:26.620
 my little children,

00:09:26.920 --> 00:09:27.940
 I am writing you

00:09:27.940 --> 00:09:28.660
 these things

00:09:28.660 --> 00:09:30.080
 that you may not sin.

00:09:30.660 --> 00:09:31.800
 I'm reminding you

00:09:31.800 --> 00:09:32.620
 of the gospel

00:09:32.620 --> 00:09:34.039
 and it will play out

00:09:34.039 --> 00:09:34.720
 in its life,

00:09:34.940 --> 00:09:35.700
 in your life.

00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:38.279
 See,

00:09:38.340 --> 00:09:39.700
 God is love

00:09:39.700 --> 00:09:41.940
 and the love of God

00:09:41.940 --> 00:09:43.700
 is not a distant love.

00:09:44.080 --> 00:09:45.279
 Love is action.

00:09:46.379 --> 00:09:47.340
 Love initiates.

00:09:48.220 --> 00:09:49.320
 While we were yet sinners,

00:09:49.700 --> 00:09:50.779
 God sent his son

00:09:50.779 --> 00:09:51.639
 to save us.

00:09:53.519 --> 00:09:54.360
 If you look at

00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:55.840
 two different families,

00:09:56.179 --> 00:09:56.899
 you can peek into

00:09:56.899 --> 00:09:57.360
 a living room

00:09:57.360 --> 00:09:58.039
 this afternoon.

00:09:59.180 --> 00:09:59.840
 Can you tell

00:09:59.840 --> 00:10:00.560
 whether a dad

00:10:00.560 --> 00:10:01.560
 loves his little baby?

00:10:01.559 --> 00:10:03.559
 Well,

00:10:03.699 --> 00:10:04.359
 you can tell

00:10:04.359 --> 00:10:05.299
 by the way

00:10:05.299 --> 00:10:05.879
 they show it,

00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:06.099
 right?

00:10:06.239 --> 00:10:07.099
 Love is action.

00:10:08.199 --> 00:10:09.319
 If you see a dad

00:10:09.319 --> 00:10:10.699
 who doesn't have

00:10:10.699 --> 00:10:11.199
 the time

00:10:11.199 --> 00:10:12.559
 to spend with his family,

00:10:13.219 --> 00:10:13.919
 love is action.

00:10:14.759 --> 00:10:15.659
 You see the dad

00:10:15.659 --> 00:10:17.399
 who pinches his nose

00:10:17.399 --> 00:10:18.259
 and changes

00:10:18.259 --> 00:10:19.539
 yet another poopy diaper,

00:10:20.059 --> 00:10:20.799
 love is action.

00:10:20.899 --> 00:10:21.379
 He's showing

00:10:21.379 --> 00:10:22.739
 he loves his son.

00:10:23.500 --> 00:10:24.799
 If you love God,

00:10:25.739 --> 00:10:26.819
 it'll show up

00:10:26.819 --> 00:10:27.779
 as fruit in your life,

00:10:27.839 --> 00:10:28.439
 as action.

00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:29.400
 It will not be

00:10:29.400 --> 00:10:30.520
 resisting the moral

00:10:30.520 --> 00:10:31.160
 law of God.

00:10:31.380 --> 00:10:32.180
 It will be asking

00:10:32.180 --> 00:10:32.940
 for more and more

00:10:32.940 --> 00:10:33.860
 and more of his spirit

00:10:33.860 --> 00:10:35.520
 working out that fruit

00:10:35.520 --> 00:10:36.320
 of his law

00:10:36.320 --> 00:10:37.440
 in your life.

00:10:38.820 --> 00:10:40.340
 Think of the Ten Commandments

00:10:40.340 --> 00:10:41.300
 as a description

00:10:41.300 --> 00:10:42.400
 of what this looks like.

00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:44.500
 If you love God,

00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:45.540
 number one,

00:10:45.580 --> 00:10:46.220
 you will show

00:10:46.220 --> 00:10:47.000
 your love

00:10:47.000 --> 00:10:48.020
 by worshiping him.

00:10:49.100 --> 00:10:49.840
 You're not

00:10:49.840 --> 00:10:50.800
 too worried

00:10:50.800 --> 00:10:51.620
 about what's going on

00:10:51.620 --> 00:10:52.440
 on TV right now.

00:10:52.520 --> 00:10:52.900
 You are here

00:10:52.900 --> 00:10:53.400
 to worship

00:10:53.400 --> 00:10:54.120
 the creator

00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:55.160
 of the universe.

00:10:55.159 --> 00:10:57.019
 Number two,

00:10:57.819 --> 00:10:58.659
 you will be humble

00:10:58.659 --> 00:10:59.219
 and joyful

00:10:59.219 --> 00:10:59.799
 to worship

00:10:59.799 --> 00:11:00.500
 the way God

00:11:00.500 --> 00:11:01.159
 has appointed

00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:02.139
 and how he's shown you

00:11:02.139 --> 00:11:02.939
 to do that

00:11:02.939 --> 00:11:03.740
 the best you can.

00:11:04.360 --> 00:11:05.439
 And throughout a lifetime,

00:11:05.579 --> 00:11:06.399
 we will be reforming

00:11:06.399 --> 00:11:07.100
 more and more and more

00:11:07.100 --> 00:11:08.600
 to conform with his word.

00:11:09.299 --> 00:11:09.779
 Number three,

00:11:09.860 --> 00:11:11.240
 you will hallow his name.

00:11:11.839 --> 00:11:13.079
 The name of our Lord

00:11:13.079 --> 00:11:14.039
 Jesus Christ,

00:11:14.620 --> 00:11:15.860
 Father, Son, and Spirit

00:11:15.860 --> 00:11:17.199
 will be precious to you.

00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:19.459
 You will hallow his name.

00:11:20.220 --> 00:11:20.679
 Number four,

00:11:20.779 --> 00:11:21.539
 you will long

00:11:21.539 --> 00:11:22.379
 for his kingdom

00:11:22.379 --> 00:11:23.299
 to come.

00:11:23.299 --> 00:11:24.779
 And you will delight

00:11:24.779 --> 00:11:26.599
 to rest in his finished work

00:11:26.599 --> 00:11:27.719
 in a special way

00:11:27.719 --> 00:11:28.759
 on the Lord's day.

00:11:28.899 --> 00:11:29.559
 We need this.

00:11:30.059 --> 00:11:31.159
 Our souls and our bodies

00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:32.979
 need to rest in him.

00:11:34.099 --> 00:11:34.759
 Number five,

00:11:35.299 --> 00:11:35.859
 you will honor

00:11:35.859 --> 00:11:37.039
 the authorities above you.

00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:37.620
 Number six,

00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:38.479
 you will defend

00:11:38.479 --> 00:11:39.500
 human life

00:11:39.500 --> 00:11:40.199
 and flourishing.

00:11:40.699 --> 00:11:41.179
 Number seven,

00:11:41.299 --> 00:11:42.379
 you will treat your body

00:11:42.379 --> 00:11:43.879
 as the holy vessel

00:11:43.879 --> 00:11:45.500
 where the Spirit dwells.

00:11:45.979 --> 00:11:46.500
 Number eight,

00:11:46.599 --> 00:11:47.479
 you will labor

00:11:47.479 --> 00:11:48.419
 diligently

00:11:48.419 --> 00:11:49.179
 as a steward

00:11:49.179 --> 00:11:49.939
 of everything God

00:11:49.939 --> 00:11:50.699
 has put in your hands

00:11:50.699 --> 00:11:51.120
 for now.

00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:52.579
 Number nine,

00:11:52.580 --> 00:11:53.200
 you will love

00:11:53.200 --> 00:11:54.280
 to promote truth

00:11:54.280 --> 00:11:55.800
 and when you do lie,

00:11:56.120 --> 00:11:56.920
 you will confess

00:11:56.920 --> 00:11:58.120
 and you will ask the Lord

00:11:58.120 --> 00:11:59.320
 to tame your tongue

00:11:59.320 --> 00:12:00.460
 and refine you

00:12:00.460 --> 00:12:01.440
 to be more like Christ.

00:12:02.020 --> 00:12:02.620
 Number ten,

00:12:03.100 --> 00:12:04.200
 you will be content

00:12:04.200 --> 00:12:04.840
 in him.

00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:06.400
 The world can be

00:12:06.400 --> 00:12:07.240
 upside down.

00:12:07.940 --> 00:12:08.560
 Your work,

00:12:08.759 --> 00:12:09.340
 your relationships

00:12:09.340 --> 00:12:10.560
 can be on the rocks,

00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:11.860
 but you will find

00:12:11.860 --> 00:12:12.960
 deep contentment

00:12:12.960 --> 00:12:13.660
 for your soul.

00:12:13.860 --> 00:12:14.780
 Even if it means

00:12:14.780 --> 00:12:16.100
 praying Psalm 77

00:12:16.100 --> 00:12:17.640
 in the middle of the night

00:12:17.640 --> 00:12:18.440
 on your knees,

00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:19.420
 your soul

00:12:19.420 --> 00:12:20.379
 is content

00:12:20.379 --> 00:12:21.399
 with the Lord.

00:12:23.860 --> 00:12:26.379
 In 1 John 2.1,

00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:27.419
 he goes on to say,

00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:29.919
 I wrote so you won't sin,

00:12:30.080 --> 00:12:31.279
 but if anyone,

00:12:31.379 --> 00:12:32.320
 any one of you Christians

00:12:32.320 --> 00:12:33.019
 does sin

00:12:33.019 --> 00:12:34.259
 because if a Christian

00:12:34.259 --> 00:12:35.360
 thinks he is without sin,

00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:36.340
 he deceives himself,

00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:38.820
 we have an advocate

00:12:38.820 --> 00:12:40.259
 with the Father,

00:12:40.639 --> 00:12:41.439
 Jesus Christ,

00:12:41.779 --> 00:12:42.340
 our Lord.

00:12:42.840 --> 00:12:44.340
 He is the righteousness

00:12:44.340 --> 00:12:45.480
 that advocates

00:12:45.480 --> 00:12:46.259
 on our behalf.

00:12:47.059 --> 00:12:48.120
 The reason I highlight

00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:48.879
 this verse now

00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:50.399
 is because you need to know

00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:52.139
 who is your first advocate

00:12:52.139 --> 00:12:52.980
 before you appreciate

00:12:52.980 --> 00:12:53.720
 the promise of

00:12:53.720 --> 00:12:55.139
 another advocate.

00:12:55.460 --> 00:12:56.460
 You have an advocate.

00:12:56.879 --> 00:12:58.299
 It is God the Son

00:12:58.299 --> 00:12:59.379
 at the right hand

00:12:59.379 --> 00:12:59.980
 of the Father.

00:13:00.379 --> 00:13:01.700
 The righteousness of God

00:13:01.700 --> 00:13:03.600
 advocating for you.

00:13:05.059 --> 00:13:06.500
 So our Lord Jesus Christ

00:13:06.500 --> 00:13:07.259
 promises that

00:13:07.259 --> 00:13:08.080
 if you love him,

00:13:08.159 --> 00:13:08.919
 you will keep

00:13:08.919 --> 00:13:09.779
 his commandments

00:13:09.779 --> 00:13:10.899
 and this is a promise.

00:13:11.659 --> 00:13:12.580
 This is a promise.

00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:14.120
 It's not law

00:13:14.120 --> 00:13:14.980
 to save yourself.

00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:16.620
 It's his promise.

00:13:16.620 --> 00:13:18.220
 Your advocate telling you

00:13:18.220 --> 00:13:19.620
 if you love me,

00:13:19.680 --> 00:13:20.300
 you will want

00:13:20.300 --> 00:13:21.060
 to obey me.

00:13:21.879 --> 00:13:22.580
 It won't be fighting

00:13:22.580 --> 00:13:23.019
 each other.

00:13:23.899 --> 00:13:24.519
 He promises

00:13:24.519 --> 00:13:25.779
 you will obey him.

00:13:26.220 --> 00:13:26.779
 You will delight

00:13:26.779 --> 00:13:27.360
 in his law.

00:13:27.899 --> 00:13:28.660
 It will be a joy

00:13:28.660 --> 00:13:29.259
 and a blessing

00:13:29.259 --> 00:13:30.480
 to know him more

00:13:30.480 --> 00:13:30.860
 that way

00:13:30.860 --> 00:13:31.480
 and to submit

00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:32.360
 to the king

00:13:32.360 --> 00:13:33.120
 who saves you.

00:13:34.019 --> 00:13:34.399
 Number two,

00:13:34.519 --> 00:13:35.820
 Christ's promises

00:13:35.820 --> 00:13:36.840
 are for you

00:13:36.840 --> 00:13:38.940
 if his spirit

00:13:38.940 --> 00:13:40.580
 dwells in you.

00:13:41.259 --> 00:13:42.420
 Look at verse 16.

00:13:42.419 --> 00:13:44.799
 I will ask the Father

00:13:44.799 --> 00:13:45.979
 and he will give you

00:13:45.979 --> 00:13:47.319
 another helper,

00:13:47.559 --> 00:13:48.299
 another comforter,

00:13:48.439 --> 00:13:49.299
 another advocate

00:13:49.299 --> 00:13:51.079
 to be with you forever.

00:13:52.079 --> 00:13:52.799
 Verse 17,

00:13:52.979 --> 00:13:54.360
 Even the spirit

00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:55.419
 of truth

00:13:55.419 --> 00:13:56.539
 whom the world

00:13:56.539 --> 00:13:57.579
 cannot receive

00:13:57.579 --> 00:13:58.360
 because it neither

00:13:58.360 --> 00:13:59.059
 sees him

00:13:59.059 --> 00:14:00.219
 nor knows him

00:14:00.219 --> 00:14:01.579
 but you know him

00:14:01.579 --> 00:14:03.360
 for he dwells

00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:04.099
 with you

00:14:04.099 --> 00:14:05.719
 and will be

00:14:05.719 --> 00:14:06.639
 with you.

00:14:06.639 --> 00:14:11.699
 The Greek word

00:14:11.699 --> 00:14:12.659
 is paraclete.

00:14:13.039 --> 00:14:13.779
 Paraclete can be

00:14:13.779 --> 00:14:14.659
 translated helper,

00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:15.960
 comforter,

00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:16.639
 advocate.

00:14:17.319 --> 00:14:18.000
 When we think

00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:18.899
 of a lawyer now

00:14:18.899 --> 00:14:19.559
 we think someone

00:14:19.559 --> 00:14:20.460
 who knows the law

00:14:20.460 --> 00:14:21.019
 very well

00:14:21.019 --> 00:14:21.980
 and can be assigned

00:14:21.980 --> 00:14:22.879
 to defend you

00:14:22.879 --> 00:14:23.720
 or maybe just

00:14:23.720 --> 00:14:24.720
 to clarify a contract.

00:14:24.939 --> 00:14:25.600
 So lawyer

00:14:25.600 --> 00:14:26.679
 is a really broad term.

00:14:27.139 --> 00:14:27.799
 In the New Testament

00:14:27.799 --> 00:14:28.559
 a lawyer would be

00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:29.120
 like a teacher

00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:29.679
 of the law.

00:14:30.039 --> 00:14:30.559
 So it's more

00:14:30.559 --> 00:14:31.200
 of a scholarly

00:14:31.200 --> 00:14:33.559
 really technical job.

00:14:34.120 --> 00:14:34.679
 That's not

00:14:34.679 --> 00:14:35.519
 what's in mind here.

00:14:35.580 --> 00:14:35.980
 That's not

00:14:35.980 --> 00:14:36.600
 how the spirit

00:14:36.600 --> 00:14:37.300
 is described.

00:14:37.980 --> 00:14:38.519
 A paraclete

00:14:38.519 --> 00:14:39.100
 is more like

00:14:39.100 --> 00:14:40.840
 a trustworthy witness.

00:14:41.840 --> 00:14:43.019
 So if you have

00:14:43.019 --> 00:14:43.740
 to stand in court

00:14:43.740 --> 00:14:44.580
 and you're being accused

00:14:44.580 --> 00:14:45.220
 a paraclete

00:14:45.220 --> 00:14:45.639
 would be someone

00:14:45.639 --> 00:14:46.320
 that knew you

00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:47.759
 for much of your life

00:14:47.759 --> 00:14:48.980
 ever since you were a boy

00:14:48.980 --> 00:14:49.360
 and they could

00:14:49.360 --> 00:14:50.960
 advocate and say

00:14:50.960 --> 00:14:52.360
 I know the character

00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:53.060
 of this person.

00:14:53.659 --> 00:14:54.100
 I know that what

00:14:54.100 --> 00:14:54.879
 he's being accused of

00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:55.879
 does not match

00:14:55.879 --> 00:14:56.800
 what I've seen.

00:14:57.259 --> 00:14:58.740
 That's what a paraclete does.

00:15:00.480 --> 00:15:01.659
 The word another

00:15:01.659 --> 00:15:03.240
 it could mean

00:15:03.240 --> 00:15:03.659
 in English

00:15:03.659 --> 00:15:04.840
 a couple different things.

00:15:04.840 --> 00:15:06.240
 Sinclair Ferguson

00:15:06.240 --> 00:15:07.280
 gave a great illustration.

00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:07.920
 It could mean

00:15:07.920 --> 00:15:10.340
 I loved this chocolate

00:15:10.340 --> 00:15:11.320
 chip cookie

00:15:11.320 --> 00:15:12.120
 may I have another

00:15:12.120 --> 00:15:12.500
 please.

00:15:13.100 --> 00:15:13.860
 It's another

00:15:13.860 --> 00:15:15.000
 of the exact same kind.

00:15:15.100 --> 00:15:16.160
 I know this is what I want.

00:15:16.740 --> 00:15:17.560
 Or it could mean

00:15:17.560 --> 00:15:19.100
 I'm allergic to nuts

00:15:19.100 --> 00:15:20.480
 do you have another option?

00:15:20.660 --> 00:15:20.800
 You know

00:15:20.800 --> 00:15:21.600
 a different kind.

00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:23.440
 The way he's describing it here

00:15:23.440 --> 00:15:24.320
 the word is

00:15:24.320 --> 00:15:26.180
 another of the same kind.

00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:28.040
 So you have

00:15:28.040 --> 00:15:29.180
 another advocate.

00:15:29.940 --> 00:15:31.019
 The Lord Jesus Christ

00:15:31.019 --> 00:15:32.100
 knows you.

00:15:32.100 --> 00:15:33.740
 He called you

00:15:33.740 --> 00:15:34.420
 by name.

00:15:34.980 --> 00:15:36.320
 He is your good shepherd

00:15:36.320 --> 00:15:37.720
 who watches over

00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:38.659
 your entire life

00:15:38.659 --> 00:15:39.340
 and your soul.

00:15:39.860 --> 00:15:40.879
 And he's at the right hand

00:15:40.879 --> 00:15:41.440
 of the Father.

00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:42.820
 And you're saying

00:15:42.820 --> 00:15:43.840
 yes may I have another

00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:44.279
 please.

00:15:44.879 --> 00:15:45.980
 May I have a Holy Spirit

00:15:45.980 --> 00:15:47.340
 who will be dwelling in me

00:15:47.340 --> 00:15:48.080
 to advocate.

00:15:48.879 --> 00:15:49.820
 The same kind.

00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:50.899
 And this is why

00:15:50.899 --> 00:15:51.860
 Romans 8-9

00:15:51.860 --> 00:15:53.159
 calls the Holy Spirit

00:15:53.159 --> 00:15:55.040
 the Spirit of Christ.

00:15:55.639 --> 00:15:56.920
 It's not a different God.

00:15:57.879 --> 00:15:59.200
 It's the Son

00:15:59.200 --> 00:16:01.180
 in his glorified seat

00:16:01.180 --> 00:16:02.180
 at the right hand

00:16:02.180 --> 00:16:02.580
 of the Father

00:16:02.580 --> 00:16:03.680
 ruling over everything

00:16:03.680 --> 00:16:04.720
 all power and authority

00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:05.460
 in his hands

00:16:05.460 --> 00:16:06.879
 and the Holy Spirit

00:16:06.879 --> 00:16:07.740
 of Christ

00:16:07.740 --> 00:16:09.080
 the same God

00:16:09.080 --> 00:16:10.140
 ministering

00:16:10.140 --> 00:16:10.980
 advocating

00:16:10.980 --> 00:16:12.240
 on your behalf.

00:16:14.680 --> 00:16:15.500
 He says

00:16:15.500 --> 00:16:16.500
 I will ask

00:16:16.500 --> 00:16:17.180
 the Father

00:16:17.180 --> 00:16:18.560
 and he will give you

00:16:18.560 --> 00:16:19.600
 another advocate.

00:16:20.360 --> 00:16:21.200
 You might be thinking

00:16:21.200 --> 00:16:21.900
 why wait?

00:16:22.020 --> 00:16:22.980
 Why didn't that just happen

00:16:22.980 --> 00:16:23.420
 right then?

00:16:25.300 --> 00:16:26.560
 See Jesus had

00:16:26.560 --> 00:16:27.640
 a work to do.

00:16:27.639 --> 00:16:29.559
 He had a work

00:16:29.559 --> 00:16:30.460
 to do as God

00:16:30.460 --> 00:16:31.100
 incarnate

00:16:31.100 --> 00:16:31.699
 before he could

00:16:31.699 --> 00:16:33.240
 open up the floodgates

00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:34.699
 of the blessed presence

00:16:34.699 --> 00:16:35.740
 of God on the earth.

00:16:36.319 --> 00:16:37.279
 His work was not

00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:37.980
 yet finished.

00:16:38.639 --> 00:16:39.899
 This upper room

00:16:39.899 --> 00:16:41.080
 discourse is taking place

00:16:41.080 --> 00:16:41.740
 on the Thursday

00:16:41.740 --> 00:16:42.840
 before Good Friday.

00:16:43.799 --> 00:16:45.139
 In 24 hours or so

00:16:45.139 --> 00:16:45.960
 he would be hanging

00:16:45.960 --> 00:16:46.659
 on the cross

00:16:46.659 --> 00:16:47.559
 and he would say

00:16:47.559 --> 00:16:49.059
 now it is finished.

00:16:49.600 --> 00:16:50.259
 When the Father

00:16:50.259 --> 00:16:51.439
 raises him from the dead

00:16:51.439 --> 00:16:52.259
 he accepts that

00:16:52.259 --> 00:16:53.319
 finished work of Christ.

00:16:54.059 --> 00:16:54.700
 And when the Lord

00:16:54.700 --> 00:16:55.840
 Jesus ascends

00:16:55.840 --> 00:16:57.059
 the church gathers

00:16:57.059 --> 00:16:58.000
 on the Lord's day

00:16:58.000 --> 00:16:58.959
 and the Spirit

00:16:58.959 --> 00:16:59.799
 is poured out

00:16:59.799 --> 00:17:01.219
 like a tsunami

00:17:01.219 --> 00:17:02.419
 of water upon them

00:17:02.419 --> 00:17:04.039
 and it spills over

00:17:04.039 --> 00:17:05.179
 into every new region

00:17:05.179 --> 00:17:06.500
 until the glorious

00:17:06.500 --> 00:17:07.500
 presence of God

00:17:07.500 --> 00:17:08.940
 fills the earth

00:17:08.940 --> 00:17:10.179
 through his church.

00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:13.720
 In church history

00:17:13.720 --> 00:17:14.619
 there is a big debate

00:17:14.619 --> 00:17:15.139
 who is it

00:17:15.139 --> 00:17:16.139
 that sends the Spirit?

00:17:16.619 --> 00:17:17.240
 Is the Spirit

00:17:17.240 --> 00:17:18.480
 sent only by the Father?

00:17:19.299 --> 00:17:19.960
 And you can get that

00:17:19.960 --> 00:17:20.799
 because Jesus says

00:17:20.799 --> 00:17:21.700
 I will ask the Father

00:17:21.700 --> 00:17:22.740
 and he will send the Spirit.

00:17:23.859 --> 00:17:24.539
 But look down

00:17:24.539 --> 00:17:25.480
 at verse 26

00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:26.639
 how does the Father

00:17:26.639 --> 00:17:27.460
 send the Spirit?

00:17:28.500 --> 00:17:29.220
 That helper

00:17:29.220 --> 00:17:29.920
 that comforter

00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:30.980
 that paraclete

00:17:30.980 --> 00:17:32.379
 the Holy Spirit

00:17:32.379 --> 00:17:34.000
 the Father will send

00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:35.139
 what are the next

00:17:35.139 --> 00:17:35.680
 three words?

00:17:36.359 --> 00:17:38.000
 In my name.

00:17:39.000 --> 00:17:39.619
 So from this

00:17:39.619 --> 00:17:40.259
 we conclude

00:17:40.259 --> 00:17:40.740
 the doctrine

00:17:40.740 --> 00:17:42.420
 that the Holy Spirit

00:17:42.420 --> 00:17:43.720
 proceeds from both

00:17:43.720 --> 00:17:44.180
 the Father

00:17:44.180 --> 00:17:45.279
 and the Son.

00:17:45.379 --> 00:17:45.940
 It's the Father

00:17:45.940 --> 00:17:46.519
 and the Son

00:17:46.519 --> 00:17:47.119
 the finished work

00:17:47.119 --> 00:17:47.599
 of the Son

00:17:47.599 --> 00:17:48.539
 breathing out

00:17:48.539 --> 00:17:49.200
 the Holy Spirit

00:17:49.200 --> 00:17:51.079
 onto the church.

00:17:51.079 --> 00:17:53.779
 a Puritan

00:17:53.779 --> 00:17:54.740
 in the Netherlands

00:17:54.740 --> 00:17:55.980
 named Herman Witsius

00:17:55.980 --> 00:17:57.519
 he had some

00:17:57.519 --> 00:17:58.059
 very helpful

00:17:58.059 --> 00:17:58.839
 comments on this.

00:17:58.919 --> 00:17:59.119
 He said

00:17:59.119 --> 00:17:59.759
 the Holy Spirit

00:17:59.759 --> 00:18:00.819
 is called Spirit

00:18:00.819 --> 00:18:03.199
 because of the

00:18:03.199 --> 00:18:04.139
 distinct mode

00:18:04.139 --> 00:18:05.259
 of procession.

00:18:05.960 --> 00:18:06.460
 So Spirit

00:18:06.460 --> 00:18:07.319
 comes from the word

00:18:07.319 --> 00:18:08.359
 to spirate.

00:18:08.980 --> 00:18:09.799
 Think of other words

00:18:09.799 --> 00:18:10.839
 that have that Latin root

00:18:10.839 --> 00:18:11.460
 you know

00:18:11.460 --> 00:18:12.799
 to be inspired

00:18:12.799 --> 00:18:14.059
 or if something

00:18:14.059 --> 00:18:14.799
 expires

00:18:14.799 --> 00:18:15.059
 you know

00:18:15.059 --> 00:18:16.039
 breathed its last breath

00:18:16.039 --> 00:18:17.139
 and now is

00:18:17.139 --> 00:18:18.039
 spiritless.

00:18:18.699 --> 00:18:19.859
 So to be spirated

00:18:19.859 --> 00:18:21.319
 is to be breathed out.

00:18:22.099 --> 00:18:22.599
 The Father

00:18:22.599 --> 00:18:25.139
 God the Father

00:18:25.139 --> 00:18:26.459
 is the sender

00:18:26.459 --> 00:18:27.139
 of the Spirit.

00:18:27.339 --> 00:18:28.159
 God so loved the world

00:18:28.159 --> 00:18:28.939
 that he sent

00:18:28.939 --> 00:18:30.339
 his only begotten Son

00:18:30.339 --> 00:18:31.179
 and the Father

00:18:31.179 --> 00:18:32.500
 will send another helper.

00:18:32.619 --> 00:18:33.079
 That's the role

00:18:33.079 --> 00:18:33.619
 of the Father.

00:18:34.399 --> 00:18:34.839
 The Son

00:18:34.839 --> 00:18:36.399
 is God incarnate

00:18:36.399 --> 00:18:37.219
 the Word

00:18:37.219 --> 00:18:38.519
 that is Creator God

00:18:38.519 --> 00:18:39.279
 in John 1

00:18:39.279 --> 00:18:40.699
 that became flesh

00:18:40.699 --> 00:18:42.240
 and through his name

00:18:42.240 --> 00:18:42.659
 the Spirit

00:18:42.659 --> 00:18:43.359
 is now sent.

00:18:43.779 --> 00:18:44.299
 The blessing

00:18:44.299 --> 00:18:45.759
 of dwelling with God

00:18:45.759 --> 00:18:46.740
 is only possible

00:18:46.740 --> 00:18:47.599
 by the work

00:18:47.599 --> 00:18:48.639
 of God the Son

00:18:48.639 --> 00:18:49.259
 the mediator.

00:18:49.859 --> 00:18:51.259
 And then the Spirit

00:18:51.259 --> 00:18:51.959
 is God

00:18:51.959 --> 00:18:53.000
 spired

00:18:53.000 --> 00:18:54.159
 or spirated.

00:18:54.599 --> 00:18:55.259
 He is the God

00:18:55.259 --> 00:18:56.779
 who has been breathed out

00:18:56.779 --> 00:18:57.879
 by the Father

00:18:57.879 --> 00:18:58.619
 through the name

00:18:58.619 --> 00:18:59.139
 of the Son.

00:19:00.159 --> 00:19:01.359
 Our Lord Jesus Christ

00:19:01.359 --> 00:19:02.319
 promises that

00:19:02.319 --> 00:19:03.259
 you now

00:19:03.259 --> 00:19:04.759
 have two advocates

00:19:04.759 --> 00:19:06.000
 through the work

00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:07.000
 of the Holy Spirit.

00:19:07.939 --> 00:19:08.559
 The Son

00:19:08.559 --> 00:19:09.240
 in Heaven

00:19:09.240 --> 00:19:10.879
 and the Holy Spirit

00:19:10.879 --> 00:19:12.259
 that dwells

00:19:12.259 --> 00:19:12.879
 in you

00:19:12.879 --> 00:19:13.919
 advocating

00:19:13.919 --> 00:19:14.839
 for you.

00:19:15.899 --> 00:19:17.039
 And if God

00:19:17.039 --> 00:19:17.919
 is for you

00:19:17.920 --> 00:19:19.220
 the Son

00:19:19.220 --> 00:19:20.060
 is for you

00:19:20.060 --> 00:19:20.480
 in Heaven

00:19:20.480 --> 00:19:21.259
 the Spirit

00:19:21.259 --> 00:19:22.019
 is for you

00:19:22.019 --> 00:19:22.940
 dwelling in you

00:19:22.940 --> 00:19:23.920
 who can be

00:19:23.920 --> 00:19:24.519
 against you?

00:19:26.100 --> 00:19:27.140
 So if Christ's promises

00:19:27.140 --> 00:19:27.960
 are for you

00:19:27.960 --> 00:19:29.320
 then you can know

00:19:29.320 --> 00:19:30.039
 that his Spirit

00:19:30.039 --> 00:19:31.480
 is dwelling in you.

00:19:31.940 --> 00:19:32.840
 Well what's that like?

00:19:33.800 --> 00:19:34.220
 Number three

00:19:34.220 --> 00:19:34.980
 Christ's promises

00:19:34.980 --> 00:19:35.720
 are for you

00:19:35.720 --> 00:19:37.340
 if he manifests

00:19:37.340 --> 00:19:38.580
 his life

00:19:38.580 --> 00:19:39.180
 in you.

00:19:39.180 --> 00:19:42.960
 How do I know

00:19:42.960 --> 00:19:43.519
 if the Holy Spirit

00:19:43.519 --> 00:19:44.340
 is dwelling in me?

00:19:44.400 --> 00:19:45.140
 He will manifest

00:19:45.140 --> 00:19:46.539
 himself to me.

00:19:47.340 --> 00:19:48.000
 Verse 18

00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:48.600
 Jesus says

00:19:48.600 --> 00:19:49.700
 I will not leave you

00:19:49.700 --> 00:19:50.279
 as orphans

00:19:50.279 --> 00:19:51.180
 I will come

00:19:51.180 --> 00:19:51.840
 to you

00:19:51.840 --> 00:19:53.440
 yet a little while

00:19:53.440 --> 00:19:53.980
 and the world

00:19:53.980 --> 00:19:54.960
 will see me no more

00:19:54.960 --> 00:19:56.400
 but you will see me

00:19:56.400 --> 00:19:57.759
 because I live

00:19:57.759 --> 00:19:58.440
 you also

00:19:58.440 --> 00:19:59.480
 will live.

00:20:00.140 --> 00:20:00.680
 In that day

00:20:00.680 --> 00:20:01.299
 you will know

00:20:01.299 --> 00:20:02.279
 that I am

00:20:02.279 --> 00:20:03.740
 in my Father

00:20:03.740 --> 00:20:04.740
 and you in me

00:20:04.740 --> 00:20:06.519
 and I in you.

00:20:06.940 --> 00:20:07.880
 You will know this.

00:20:07.880 --> 00:20:08.880
 He says

00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:09.500
 you will know this

00:20:09.500 --> 00:20:09.980
 in that day

00:20:09.980 --> 00:20:10.900
 when the Holy Spirit

00:20:10.900 --> 00:20:11.780
 ministers.

00:20:12.020 --> 00:20:12.640
 Verse 21

00:20:12.640 --> 00:20:14.400
 Whoever has my commandments

00:20:14.400 --> 00:20:15.260
 and keeps them

00:20:15.260 --> 00:20:16.380
 he it is

00:20:16.380 --> 00:20:17.120
 who loves me

00:20:17.120 --> 00:20:18.840
 and he who loves me

00:20:18.840 --> 00:20:19.920
 will be loved

00:20:19.920 --> 00:20:21.040
 by my Father

00:20:21.040 --> 00:20:22.860
 and I will love him

00:20:22.860 --> 00:20:23.880
 and manifest

00:20:23.880 --> 00:20:24.640
 myself

00:20:24.640 --> 00:20:25.920
 to him.

00:20:27.040 --> 00:20:27.940
 So how do you know

00:20:27.940 --> 00:20:28.680
 if the Holy Spirit

00:20:28.680 --> 00:20:29.480
 dwells in you?

00:20:30.320 --> 00:20:31.180
 Jesus Christ

00:20:31.180 --> 00:20:32.180
 is manifesting

00:20:32.180 --> 00:20:32.620
 himself

00:20:32.620 --> 00:20:34.320
 in your life.

00:20:34.440 --> 00:20:35.220
 That's the ministry

00:20:35.220 --> 00:20:36.340
 of the Holy Spirit.

00:20:37.200 --> 00:20:37.740
 Verse 20

00:20:37.740 --> 00:20:38.220
 the ministry

00:20:38.220 --> 00:20:38.980
 of the Holy Spirit

00:20:38.980 --> 00:20:40.740
 is to make you know

00:20:40.740 --> 00:20:41.680
 that Jesus

00:20:41.680 --> 00:20:43.019
 is in the Father.

00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:44.620
 Jesus Christ

00:20:44.620 --> 00:20:45.940
 is very God

00:20:45.940 --> 00:20:46.700
 of very God

00:20:46.700 --> 00:20:47.640
 in the Father

00:20:47.640 --> 00:20:48.779
 and you

00:20:48.779 --> 00:20:50.500
 by his shed blood

00:20:50.500 --> 00:20:51.039
 by his work

00:20:51.039 --> 00:20:51.620
 as mediator

00:20:51.620 --> 00:20:53.200
 you are in Jesus Christ

00:20:53.200 --> 00:20:54.480
 and Jesus Christ

00:20:54.480 --> 00:20:55.500
 is in you

00:20:55.500 --> 00:20:56.460
 by the ministry

00:20:56.460 --> 00:20:57.740
 of the Holy Spirit.

00:20:59.740 --> 00:21:00.819
 Verse 21

00:21:00.819 --> 00:21:01.640
 The Holy Spirit

00:21:01.640 --> 00:21:02.940
 manifests God

00:21:02.940 --> 00:21:03.620
 to you.

00:21:04.519 --> 00:21:05.740
 He will manifest it.

00:21:05.740 --> 00:21:07.380
 We want to see

00:21:07.380 --> 00:21:07.980
 this don't we?

00:21:08.099 --> 00:21:08.819
 We want to see

00:21:08.819 --> 00:21:09.299
 and know

00:21:09.299 --> 00:21:10.460
 that it is God

00:21:10.460 --> 00:21:11.440
 who is moving

00:21:11.440 --> 00:21:12.160
 in his people.

00:21:13.819 --> 00:21:15.019
 How do we see that?

00:21:16.480 --> 00:21:17.359
 Well Jesus keeps it

00:21:17.359 --> 00:21:17.960
 very simple.

00:21:18.120 --> 00:21:18.480
 He says

00:21:18.480 --> 00:21:19.319
 it will show up

00:21:19.319 --> 00:21:20.460
 by your life.

00:21:21.579 --> 00:21:22.339
 Do you love me?

00:21:22.460 --> 00:21:23.140
 Do you obey me?

00:21:23.259 --> 00:21:24.279
 That's how it will show up.

00:21:25.200 --> 00:21:26.079
 We want to see

00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:27.120
 a mighty moving

00:21:27.120 --> 00:21:27.960
 of the Holy Spirit.

00:21:28.500 --> 00:21:29.420
 We know that the Spirit

00:21:29.420 --> 00:21:30.940
 is represented

00:21:30.940 --> 00:21:31.700
 throughout Scripture

00:21:31.700 --> 00:21:32.460
 as a wind

00:21:32.460 --> 00:21:33.259
 and blowing

00:21:33.259 --> 00:21:33.860
 and life.

00:21:35.440 --> 00:21:36.420
 We take it all the way

00:21:36.420 --> 00:21:37.640
 back to Genesis 1-2

00:21:37.640 --> 00:21:38.579
 it's the Ruach

00:21:38.579 --> 00:21:39.720
 Spirit of God

00:21:39.720 --> 00:21:40.579
 that hovered.

00:21:40.819 --> 00:21:41.240
 You picture

00:21:41.240 --> 00:21:42.240
 the flapping wings

00:21:42.240 --> 00:21:42.779
 that hover.

00:21:43.140 --> 00:21:44.680
 It's generating wind

00:21:44.680 --> 00:21:46.259
 that from that

00:21:46.259 --> 00:21:47.640
 movement of the Spirit

00:21:47.640 --> 00:21:48.480
 the Word of God

00:21:48.480 --> 00:21:50.059
 created order

00:21:50.059 --> 00:21:51.039
 out of chaos

00:21:51.039 --> 00:21:52.120
 and light

00:21:52.120 --> 00:21:53.120
 out of darkness.

00:21:53.819 --> 00:21:54.779
 In John 3-8

00:21:54.779 --> 00:21:56.360
 Jesus told Nicodemus

00:21:56.360 --> 00:21:57.680
 that the wind blows

00:21:57.680 --> 00:21:58.920
 wherever it wishes

00:21:58.920 --> 00:22:00.240
 and you hear its sound

00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:01.779
 but you do not know

00:22:01.779 --> 00:22:03.240
 from where it comes

00:22:03.240 --> 00:22:04.299
 or where it goes

00:22:04.299 --> 00:22:05.079
 and so it is

00:22:05.079 --> 00:22:05.779
 with everyone

00:22:05.779 --> 00:22:07.500
 born of the Spirit.

00:22:08.880 --> 00:22:09.620
 There's that

00:22:09.620 --> 00:22:10.299
 pneuma

00:22:10.299 --> 00:22:11.500
 it's like we get

00:22:11.500 --> 00:22:12.160
 the word pneumonia

00:22:12.160 --> 00:22:12.779
 for the lungs

00:22:12.779 --> 00:22:13.559
 it's the breathing

00:22:13.559 --> 00:22:14.380
 it's the movement

00:22:14.380 --> 00:22:15.079
 you don't know

00:22:15.079 --> 00:22:16.019
 where it comes from

00:22:16.019 --> 00:22:16.880
 or where it's going next

00:22:16.880 --> 00:22:18.079
 but that's God

00:22:18.079 --> 00:22:19.400
 working into His people

00:22:19.400 --> 00:22:20.440
 the promises

00:22:20.440 --> 00:22:21.059
 that Christ

00:22:21.059 --> 00:22:22.059
 has secured for them.

00:22:22.920 --> 00:22:24.200
 In Acts 2

00:22:24.200 --> 00:22:24.819
 verse 2

00:22:24.819 --> 00:22:26.759
 listen to how this

00:22:26.759 --> 00:22:27.759
 is actually fulfilled.

00:22:27.759 --> 00:22:30.640
 Suddenly there came

00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:31.279
 from heaven

00:22:31.279 --> 00:22:32.079
 a sound

00:22:32.079 --> 00:22:33.220
 like a mighty

00:22:33.220 --> 00:22:34.299
 rushing wind

00:22:34.299 --> 00:22:35.420
 and it filled

00:22:35.420 --> 00:22:37.039
 the entire house

00:22:37.039 --> 00:22:37.779
 where the disciples

00:22:37.779 --> 00:22:38.740
 were sitting

00:22:38.740 --> 00:22:39.379
 and praying.

00:22:39.900 --> 00:22:41.039
 That's what it was like

00:22:41.039 --> 00:22:41.619
 to be filled

00:22:41.619 --> 00:22:42.859
 with the Holy Spirit.

00:22:44.119 --> 00:22:45.240
 And so the church

00:22:45.240 --> 00:22:45.940
 is set in motion

00:22:45.940 --> 00:22:46.859
 but how do we know

00:22:46.859 --> 00:22:47.839
 now if we have

00:22:47.839 --> 00:22:48.500
 the Holy Spirit?

00:22:49.900 --> 00:22:50.799
 Well we're told

00:22:50.799 --> 00:22:51.420
 that the Spirit

00:22:51.420 --> 00:22:52.740
 will bear this fruit

00:22:52.740 --> 00:22:53.460
 of obedience.

00:22:54.039 --> 00:22:54.579
 This is why

00:22:54.579 --> 00:22:56.119
 the righteousness

00:22:56.119 --> 00:22:56.660
 of Christ

00:22:56.660 --> 00:22:57.740
 working into our lives

00:22:57.740 --> 00:22:58.120
 is called

00:22:58.120 --> 00:22:58.579
 the fruit

00:22:58.579 --> 00:22:59.579
 of the Spirit.

00:23:00.019 --> 00:23:00.759
 It is God alone

00:23:00.759 --> 00:23:01.319
 who can bear

00:23:01.319 --> 00:23:02.240
 these fruits in us

00:23:02.240 --> 00:23:03.240
 and when you see

00:23:03.240 --> 00:23:03.880
 that in your life

00:23:03.880 --> 00:23:04.819
 never perfectly

00:23:04.819 --> 00:23:05.620
 but increasingly

00:23:05.620 --> 00:23:06.720
 and you see that

00:23:06.720 --> 00:23:07.339
 in one another

00:23:07.339 --> 00:23:08.680
 you know that God

00:23:08.680 --> 00:23:09.220
 is fulfilling

00:23:09.220 --> 00:23:09.940
 this promise

00:23:09.940 --> 00:23:11.279
 to dwell in you.

00:23:11.680 --> 00:23:12.240
 Like he said

00:23:12.240 --> 00:23:13.259
 in Colossians 3

00:23:13.259 --> 00:23:14.759
 12-14

00:23:14.759 --> 00:23:16.779
 therefore as God's

00:23:16.779 --> 00:23:17.660
 chosen people

00:23:17.660 --> 00:23:19.519
 holy and dearly loved

00:23:19.519 --> 00:23:20.539
 clothe yourselves

00:23:20.539 --> 00:23:21.460
 with compassion

00:23:21.460 --> 00:23:22.420
 kindness

00:23:22.420 --> 00:23:23.500
 humility

00:23:23.500 --> 00:23:24.460
 gentleness

00:23:24.460 --> 00:23:25.579
 and patience.

00:23:26.079 --> 00:23:27.059
 Bear with each other

00:23:27.059 --> 00:23:27.579
 and forgive

00:23:27.579 --> 00:23:28.500
 whatever grievances

00:23:28.500 --> 00:23:29.180
 you may have

00:23:29.180 --> 00:23:30.359
 against one another.

00:23:30.819 --> 00:23:32.140
 Forgive as the Lord

00:23:32.140 --> 00:23:33.279
 forgave you

00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:34.900
 and over all these things

00:23:34.900 --> 00:23:36.220
 bind them up

00:23:36.220 --> 00:23:36.940
 with love.

00:23:37.680 --> 00:23:38.299
 And so there it is

00:23:38.299 --> 00:23:39.379
 the picture of the church

00:23:39.379 --> 00:23:40.400
 being clothed

00:23:40.400 --> 00:23:41.400
 in Christ's righteousness

00:23:41.400 --> 00:23:43.140
 bound by his love.

00:23:43.140 --> 00:23:44.380
 How do you know

00:23:44.380 --> 00:23:45.259
 if you've been forgiven

00:23:45.259 --> 00:23:46.620
 if you're united to Christ?

00:23:47.220 --> 00:23:48.720
 Forgive as the Lord

00:23:48.720 --> 00:23:49.820
 forgave you.

00:23:50.660 --> 00:23:51.380
 You're forgiven

00:23:51.380 --> 00:23:52.740
 and it will show up

00:23:52.740 --> 00:23:53.740
 by how you forgive

00:23:53.740 --> 00:23:55.140
 your Christian brothers

00:23:55.140 --> 00:23:55.740
 and sisters.

00:23:56.780 --> 00:23:57.780
 Our Lord Jesus Christ

00:23:57.780 --> 00:23:58.740
 promises that

00:23:58.740 --> 00:24:00.400
 by the ministry

00:24:00.400 --> 00:24:01.140
 of his Spirit

00:24:01.140 --> 00:24:02.300
 you are not alone.

00:24:02.500 --> 00:24:03.400
 You are not left

00:24:03.400 --> 00:24:04.259
 orphans.

00:24:04.880 --> 00:24:06.080
 God is with you

00:24:06.080 --> 00:24:07.400
 by his Spirit

00:24:07.400 --> 00:24:08.280
 right now

00:24:08.280 --> 00:24:09.920
 and you will know

00:24:09.920 --> 00:24:11.500
 that you are in Christ

00:24:11.500 --> 00:24:12.860
 and that he is in you.

00:24:14.120 --> 00:24:14.660
 Number four

00:24:14.660 --> 00:24:15.759
 Christ's promises

00:24:15.759 --> 00:24:16.620
 are for you

00:24:16.620 --> 00:24:18.800
 if God is making

00:24:18.800 --> 00:24:19.860
 his home

00:24:19.860 --> 00:24:20.880
 with you.

00:24:21.720 --> 00:24:22.920
 If God is making

00:24:22.920 --> 00:24:24.220
 the home of God

00:24:24.220 --> 00:24:25.500
 in your life

00:24:25.500 --> 00:24:26.660
 then you can know

00:24:26.660 --> 00:24:27.480
 that Christ's promises

00:24:27.480 --> 00:24:28.200
 are for you.

00:24:29.620 --> 00:24:30.759
 In verse 22

00:24:30.759 --> 00:24:31.259
 Judas

00:24:31.259 --> 00:24:32.140
 not Iscariot

00:24:32.140 --> 00:24:32.960
 asked the question

00:24:32.960 --> 00:24:33.940
 everybody's wanting

00:24:33.940 --> 00:24:34.680
 to understand.

00:24:35.080 --> 00:24:35.300
 Lord

00:24:35.300 --> 00:24:36.160
 how is it

00:24:36.160 --> 00:24:37.020
 that you will manifest

00:24:37.020 --> 00:24:38.120
 yourself to us

00:24:38.120 --> 00:24:39.759
 but not to the whole world?

00:24:40.680 --> 00:24:41.600
 That's a riddle.

00:24:41.599 --> 00:24:44.119
 Verse 23

00:24:44.119 --> 00:24:45.079
 Jesus answered him

00:24:45.079 --> 00:24:46.199
 if anyone loves me

00:24:46.199 --> 00:24:48.259
 he will keep my word

00:24:48.259 --> 00:24:49.240
 and the Father

00:24:49.240 --> 00:24:50.099
 will love him

00:24:50.099 --> 00:24:51.959
 and we will come to him

00:24:51.959 --> 00:24:53.099
 and make our home

00:24:53.099 --> 00:24:53.899
 with him.

00:24:54.579 --> 00:24:56.079
 Whoever does not love me

00:24:56.079 --> 00:24:58.119
 does not keep my words

00:24:58.119 --> 00:24:59.679
 and the word that you hear

00:24:59.679 --> 00:25:00.639
 is not mine

00:25:00.639 --> 00:25:01.959
 but the Father's

00:25:01.959 --> 00:25:02.899
 who sent me.

00:25:05.059 --> 00:25:05.959
 See Jesus

00:25:05.959 --> 00:25:07.219
 calls the whole world

00:25:07.219 --> 00:25:08.039
 to hear

00:25:08.039 --> 00:25:09.419
 his gospel truth.

00:25:09.420 --> 00:25:10.240
 He says

00:25:10.240 --> 00:25:12.180
 shake the bushes

00:25:12.180 --> 00:25:12.940
 go to the hedges

00:25:12.940 --> 00:25:13.440
 the byways

00:25:13.440 --> 00:25:13.880
 the highways

00:25:13.880 --> 00:25:14.779
 invite them all

00:25:14.779 --> 00:25:15.680
 to the banquet feast

00:25:15.680 --> 00:25:16.980
 call whoever has an ear

00:25:16.980 --> 00:25:17.600
 to repent

00:25:17.600 --> 00:25:18.560
 and to believe

00:25:18.560 --> 00:25:19.820
 so the gospel call

00:25:19.820 --> 00:25:20.920
 goes out universally

00:25:20.920 --> 00:25:21.740
 calling all men

00:25:21.740 --> 00:25:22.480
 to God

00:25:22.480 --> 00:25:24.340
 but it's a special work

00:25:24.340 --> 00:25:25.100
 of the Holy Spirit

00:25:25.100 --> 00:25:26.300
 it's an effectual call

00:25:26.300 --> 00:25:27.640
 that draws those

00:25:27.640 --> 00:25:28.779
 who will believe.

00:25:29.880 --> 00:25:30.960
 The whole world

00:25:30.960 --> 00:25:31.740
 is invited

00:25:31.740 --> 00:25:32.880
 to love Christ

00:25:32.880 --> 00:25:33.900
 and keep his commandment

00:25:33.900 --> 00:25:35.039
 but then the law

00:25:35.039 --> 00:25:35.519
 shows you

00:25:35.519 --> 00:25:36.180
 I can't

00:25:36.180 --> 00:25:37.580
 I have this burden

00:25:37.579 --> 00:25:38.179
 on my back

00:25:38.179 --> 00:25:39.439
 a guilty conscience

00:25:39.439 --> 00:25:41.519
 and it's the spirit

00:25:41.519 --> 00:25:42.019
 of God

00:25:42.019 --> 00:25:43.500
 that dwelling in you

00:25:43.500 --> 00:25:44.519
 takes the righteousness

00:25:44.519 --> 00:25:45.220
 of Christ

00:25:45.220 --> 00:25:46.279
 he frees you

00:25:46.279 --> 00:25:46.779
 of this burden

00:25:46.779 --> 00:25:47.759
 Christ paid it all

00:25:47.759 --> 00:25:49.159
 and he puts the love

00:25:49.159 --> 00:25:49.859
 that can only come

00:25:49.859 --> 00:25:50.379
 from God

00:25:50.379 --> 00:25:51.639
 into your heart.

00:25:53.119 --> 00:25:54.460
 See Judas' question

00:25:54.460 --> 00:25:55.059
 is getting at

00:25:55.059 --> 00:25:55.939
 exactly that

00:25:55.939 --> 00:25:57.460
 why won't everyone

00:25:57.460 --> 00:25:58.000
 believe?

00:25:58.579 --> 00:25:59.339
 How will you manifest

00:25:59.339 --> 00:25:59.980
 yourself to

00:25:59.980 --> 00:26:00.960
 your disciples

00:26:00.960 --> 00:26:02.179
 but yet the world

00:26:02.179 --> 00:26:02.720
 won't know

00:26:02.720 --> 00:26:03.720
 that you're alive?

00:26:04.759 --> 00:26:05.619
 Jesus' answer

00:26:05.619 --> 00:26:06.579
 is not direct

00:26:06.579 --> 00:26:07.439
 Jesus says

00:26:07.439 --> 00:26:08.480
 if anyone

00:26:08.480 --> 00:26:09.460
 loves me

00:26:09.460 --> 00:26:11.220
 because

00:26:11.220 --> 00:26:12.279
 only those

00:26:12.279 --> 00:26:13.099
 who love Christ

00:26:13.099 --> 00:26:13.939
 will want

00:26:13.939 --> 00:26:14.960
 to keep his word.

00:26:15.659 --> 00:26:16.319
 Do you want to know

00:26:16.319 --> 00:26:17.199
 if you are effectually

00:26:17.199 --> 00:26:17.559
 called?

00:26:17.819 --> 00:26:18.519
 Then repent.

00:26:19.079 --> 00:26:19.799
 That's what he calls

00:26:19.799 --> 00:26:20.659
 the world to do

00:26:20.659 --> 00:26:22.259
 but only those

00:26:22.259 --> 00:26:23.599
 who love Christ

00:26:23.599 --> 00:26:24.419
 will want to keep

00:26:24.419 --> 00:26:24.919
 his word

00:26:24.919 --> 00:26:25.939
 and Jesus says

00:26:25.939 --> 00:26:26.839
 in verse 23

00:26:26.839 --> 00:26:28.599
 if anyone loves me

00:26:28.599 --> 00:26:29.139
 he will

00:26:29.139 --> 00:26:30.059
 keep my word

00:26:30.059 --> 00:26:30.859
 that's a promise.

00:26:31.759 --> 00:26:32.460
 So you will know

00:26:32.460 --> 00:26:33.199
 that the Father

00:26:33.199 --> 00:26:33.819
 loves you

00:26:33.819 --> 00:26:34.859
 if you love

00:26:34.859 --> 00:26:35.460
 his Son.

00:26:35.559 --> 00:26:35.879
 Do you want

00:26:35.880 --> 00:26:36.280
 the Father

00:26:36.280 --> 00:26:36.860
 to love you

00:26:36.860 --> 00:26:37.560
 and forgive you?

00:26:38.540 --> 00:26:39.020
 Well search

00:26:39.020 --> 00:26:39.500
 your heart

00:26:39.500 --> 00:26:40.440
 that's the most

00:26:40.440 --> 00:26:41.340
 fundamental question

00:26:41.340 --> 00:26:43.180
 do you love Jesus?

00:26:43.800 --> 00:26:44.500
 Who is Jesus

00:26:44.500 --> 00:26:45.040
 to you?

00:26:46.540 --> 00:26:47.540
 In verse 23

00:26:47.540 --> 00:26:48.520
 Jesus says

00:26:48.520 --> 00:26:49.040
 he will keep

00:26:49.040 --> 00:26:49.540
 my word

00:26:49.540 --> 00:26:50.300
 my Father

00:26:50.300 --> 00:26:51.140
 will love him.

00:26:52.720 --> 00:26:53.540
 In John

00:26:53.540 --> 00:26:54.300
 chapter 1

00:26:54.300 --> 00:26:54.940
 verse 14

00:26:54.940 --> 00:26:55.520
 we were told

00:26:55.520 --> 00:26:56.060
 that the word

00:26:56.060 --> 00:26:57.060
 became flesh

00:26:57.060 --> 00:26:58.300
 and dwelt

00:26:58.300 --> 00:26:59.280
 among us.

00:27:00.060 --> 00:27:00.520
 See God

00:27:00.520 --> 00:27:00.980
 the Father

00:27:00.980 --> 00:27:02.340
 took on a body

00:27:02.340 --> 00:27:03.340
 and he identified

00:27:03.340 --> 00:27:03.900
 with those

00:27:03.900 --> 00:27:04.200
 who came

00:27:04.200 --> 00:27:04.740
 to save

00:27:04.740 --> 00:27:06.120
 for his life

00:27:06.120 --> 00:27:06.800
 and now

00:27:06.800 --> 00:27:07.340
 it's the same

00:27:07.340 --> 00:27:08.320
 spirit of God

00:27:08.320 --> 00:27:09.440
 who is dwelling

00:27:09.440 --> 00:27:10.500
 not physically

00:27:10.500 --> 00:27:11.060
 like Christ

00:27:11.060 --> 00:27:11.420
 did but

00:27:11.420 --> 00:27:12.180
 spiritually

00:27:12.180 --> 00:27:13.000
 with his people.

00:27:13.880 --> 00:27:14.620
 We have seen

00:27:14.620 --> 00:27:15.620
 his glory

00:27:15.620 --> 00:27:16.840
 John wrote

00:27:16.840 --> 00:27:17.720
 bearing witness

00:27:17.720 --> 00:27:19.000
 glory as of

00:27:19.000 --> 00:27:19.880
 the only Son

00:27:19.880 --> 00:27:20.780
 from the Father

00:27:20.780 --> 00:27:22.500
 full of grace

00:27:22.500 --> 00:27:23.240
 and truth

00:27:23.240 --> 00:27:24.080
 and though you

00:27:24.080 --> 00:27:24.720
 and I are called

00:27:24.720 --> 00:27:25.600
 to believe in Christ

00:27:25.600 --> 00:27:26.320
 and to see him

00:27:26.320 --> 00:27:26.940
 by faith

00:27:26.940 --> 00:27:28.120
 not by sight

00:27:28.120 --> 00:27:29.519
 we can say

00:27:29.519 --> 00:27:30.300
 that by the power

00:27:30.300 --> 00:27:31.220
 of the Holy Spirit

00:27:31.220 --> 00:27:32.279
 the same God

00:27:32.279 --> 00:27:33.279
 working in us

00:27:33.279 --> 00:27:34.740
 he is that

00:27:34.740 --> 00:27:35.700
 direct agent

00:27:35.700 --> 00:27:36.920
 that causes us

00:27:36.920 --> 00:27:37.500
 to behold

00:27:37.500 --> 00:27:38.380
 that same thing

00:27:38.380 --> 00:27:39.620
 the glory

00:27:39.620 --> 00:27:40.640
 of Jesus Christ

00:27:40.640 --> 00:27:41.500
 from the Father

00:27:41.500 --> 00:27:43.240
 full of grace

00:27:43.240 --> 00:27:44.279
 and truth.

00:27:45.819 --> 00:27:47.120
 Our Lord Jesus Christ

00:27:47.120 --> 00:27:47.940
 promises that

00:27:47.940 --> 00:27:48.920
 if he makes

00:27:48.920 --> 00:27:49.920
 his home with you

00:27:49.920 --> 00:27:51.900
 and you obey him

00:27:51.900 --> 00:27:53.980
 then that is because

00:27:53.980 --> 00:27:55.640
 God has loved you

00:27:55.640 --> 00:27:57.140
 and given you eyes

00:27:57.140 --> 00:27:57.960
 to behold him.

00:27:57.960 --> 00:28:01.660
 One commentator said

00:28:01.660 --> 00:28:02.140
 maybe you are

00:28:02.140 --> 00:28:03.140
 picturing your life

00:28:03.140 --> 00:28:04.620
 before you became

00:28:04.620 --> 00:28:05.079
 a Christian

00:28:05.079 --> 00:28:05.640
 or right after

00:28:05.640 --> 00:28:06.420
 you became a Christian

00:28:06.420 --> 00:28:07.140
 as a simple

00:28:07.140 --> 00:28:08.279
 little country cottage

00:28:08.279 --> 00:28:09.900
 two rooms

00:28:09.900 --> 00:28:11.019
 shared space

00:28:11.019 --> 00:28:11.460
 for a lot of

00:28:11.460 --> 00:28:12.019
 different things

00:28:12.019 --> 00:28:12.680
 very simple

00:28:12.680 --> 00:28:14.720
 well God has moved

00:28:14.720 --> 00:28:15.860
 into your little cottage

00:28:15.860 --> 00:28:17.100
 he has filled it

00:28:17.100 --> 00:28:17.880
 with his glory

00:28:17.880 --> 00:28:19.299
 and he has

00:28:19.299 --> 00:28:20.620
 much more in mind

00:28:20.620 --> 00:28:21.240
 for your life

00:28:21.240 --> 00:28:21.880
 than you ever knew

00:28:21.880 --> 00:28:22.539
 was possible

00:28:22.539 --> 00:28:24.120
 and it hurts sometimes

00:28:24.120 --> 00:28:24.940
 he busts out

00:28:24.940 --> 00:28:25.779
 an entire wall

00:28:25.779 --> 00:28:26.920
 and he is building

00:28:26.920 --> 00:28:27.880
 this amazing

00:28:27.880 --> 00:28:28.860
 wraparound deck

00:28:28.860 --> 00:28:29.800
 and he is filling

00:28:29.800 --> 00:28:30.400
 more and more

00:28:30.400 --> 00:28:31.240
 and more of your heart

00:28:31.240 --> 00:28:33.039
 the life that he is

00:28:33.039 --> 00:28:33.759
 dwelling in

00:28:33.759 --> 00:28:35.380
 he becomes the home maker

00:28:35.380 --> 00:28:37.779
 I will make my home

00:28:37.779 --> 00:28:39.279
 inside of you

00:28:39.279 --> 00:28:41.620
 so if the Lord

00:28:41.620 --> 00:28:42.259
 is doing that

00:28:42.259 --> 00:28:42.940
 and it hurts

00:28:42.940 --> 00:28:44.480
 and he is refining you

00:28:44.480 --> 00:28:45.400
 and purifying you

00:28:45.400 --> 00:28:46.840
 realize that he is

00:28:46.840 --> 00:28:47.720
 your loving father

00:28:47.720 --> 00:28:49.039
 he is expanding

00:28:49.039 --> 00:28:50.019
 your life

00:28:50.019 --> 00:28:51.060
 he is expanding

00:28:51.060 --> 00:28:52.039
 your heart and soul

00:28:52.039 --> 00:28:53.039
 he is increasing

00:28:53.039 --> 00:28:53.800
 his glory

00:28:53.800 --> 00:28:54.640
 in you

00:28:54.640 --> 00:28:56.100
 even by that work

00:28:56.099 --> 00:28:57.480
 of knocking out walls

00:28:57.480 --> 00:28:59.259
 and extending the foundation

00:28:59.259 --> 00:29:00.859
 and equipping you

00:29:00.859 --> 00:29:02.399
 to belong to his kingdom

00:29:02.399 --> 00:29:03.000
 the temple

00:29:03.000 --> 00:29:04.240
 in which he will dwell

00:29:04.240 --> 00:29:05.619
 and the spirit's job

00:29:05.619 --> 00:29:06.339
 is to make it

00:29:06.339 --> 00:29:08.059
 a beautiful dwelling

00:29:08.059 --> 00:29:08.959
 for the father

00:29:08.959 --> 00:29:09.779
 and the son

00:29:09.779 --> 00:29:12.379
 number five

00:29:12.379 --> 00:29:13.159
 Christ's promises

00:29:13.159 --> 00:29:13.819
 are for you

00:29:13.819 --> 00:29:14.219
 if

00:29:14.219 --> 00:29:15.539
 God's Holy Spirit

00:29:15.539 --> 00:29:16.639
 is teaching you

00:29:16.639 --> 00:29:18.339
 Christ's word

00:29:18.339 --> 00:29:20.859
 verse 25

00:29:20.859 --> 00:29:21.519
 Jesus says

00:29:21.519 --> 00:29:22.099
 these things

00:29:22.099 --> 00:29:23.159
 I have spoken to you

00:29:23.160 --> 00:29:24.019
 while I am still

00:29:24.019 --> 00:29:24.700
 with you

00:29:24.700 --> 00:29:26.500
 verse 26

00:29:26.500 --> 00:29:27.320
 but the helper

00:29:27.320 --> 00:29:28.600
 the Holy Spirit

00:29:28.600 --> 00:29:29.440
 whom the father

00:29:29.440 --> 00:29:31.019
 will send in my name

00:29:31.019 --> 00:29:32.400
 he will teach you

00:29:32.400 --> 00:29:33.800
 all things

00:29:33.800 --> 00:29:35.320
 and bring to your

00:29:35.320 --> 00:29:35.820
 remembrance

00:29:35.820 --> 00:29:37.240
 all that I have

00:29:37.240 --> 00:29:38.279
 said to you

00:29:38.279 --> 00:29:40.779
 are you understanding

00:29:40.779 --> 00:29:41.400
 God's word

00:29:41.400 --> 00:29:41.980
 more and more

00:29:41.980 --> 00:29:43.400
 do you understand

00:29:43.400 --> 00:29:44.800
 more of the glory

00:29:44.800 --> 00:29:45.259
 of God

00:29:45.259 --> 00:29:46.040
 from the Bible

00:29:46.040 --> 00:29:47.100
 now than you did

00:29:47.100 --> 00:29:47.960
 six months ago

00:29:47.960 --> 00:29:50.000
 then praise God

00:29:50.000 --> 00:29:50.900
 that's the ministry

00:29:50.900 --> 00:29:51.900
 of the Holy Spirit

00:29:51.900 --> 00:29:52.620
 that should give you

00:29:52.620 --> 00:29:53.320
 assurance

00:29:53.320 --> 00:29:54.200
 that the Spirit

00:29:54.200 --> 00:29:54.960
 is teaching you

00:29:54.960 --> 00:29:55.860
 all things

00:29:55.860 --> 00:29:57.740
 we get three things

00:29:57.740 --> 00:29:57.900
 here

00:29:57.900 --> 00:29:58.440
 that Spirit

00:29:58.440 --> 00:29:59.060
 number one

00:29:59.060 --> 00:30:00.040
 illuminates

00:30:00.040 --> 00:30:00.660
 God's word

00:30:00.660 --> 00:30:02.480
 it's closed

00:30:02.480 --> 00:30:03.560
 but the Lord

00:30:03.560 --> 00:30:04.500
 opened up

00:30:04.500 --> 00:30:04.960
 the scriptures

00:30:04.960 --> 00:30:05.400
 to us

00:30:05.400 --> 00:30:05.920
 and our hearts

00:30:05.920 --> 00:30:06.980
 burned within us

00:30:06.980 --> 00:30:07.920
 when he did that

00:30:07.920 --> 00:30:08.480
 that's the work

00:30:08.480 --> 00:30:09.060
 of the Spirit

00:30:09.060 --> 00:30:10.160
 to illuminate

00:30:10.160 --> 00:30:10.759
 God's word

00:30:10.759 --> 00:30:11.660
 number two

00:30:11.660 --> 00:30:12.320
 the Holy Spirit

00:30:12.320 --> 00:30:13.519
 applies God's word

00:30:13.519 --> 00:30:14.700
 he teaches you

00:30:14.700 --> 00:30:15.500
 all things

00:30:15.500 --> 00:30:17.140
 he tells Timothy

00:30:17.140 --> 00:30:18.060
 that Timothy

00:30:18.060 --> 00:30:19.180
 as you shepherd

00:30:19.180 --> 00:30:19.680
 this flock

00:30:19.680 --> 00:30:20.160
 you're not even

00:30:20.160 --> 00:30:20.640
 an apostle

00:30:20.640 --> 00:30:21.660
 you're a regular man

00:30:21.660 --> 00:30:22.860
 and you're sickly

00:30:22.860 --> 00:30:23.740
 but you will be

00:30:23.740 --> 00:30:24.620
 fully equipped

00:30:24.620 --> 00:30:26.080
 to minister

00:30:26.080 --> 00:30:26.780
 if you have

00:30:26.780 --> 00:30:27.340
 God's word

00:30:27.340 --> 00:30:28.140
 and the Holy Spirit

00:30:28.140 --> 00:30:29.060
 you have all

00:30:29.060 --> 00:30:29.620
 that you need

00:30:29.620 --> 00:30:30.520
 he will show you

00:30:30.520 --> 00:30:31.220
 how to apply

00:30:31.220 --> 00:30:32.140
 his word

00:30:32.140 --> 00:30:33.380
 in all things

00:30:33.380 --> 00:30:34.940
 and number three

00:30:34.940 --> 00:30:35.980
 the Holy Spirit

00:30:35.980 --> 00:30:36.940
 brings to memory

00:30:36.940 --> 00:30:37.960
 I think the

00:30:37.960 --> 00:30:38.920
 first application

00:30:38.920 --> 00:30:39.759
 is the disciples

00:30:39.759 --> 00:30:40.740
 would be

00:30:40.740 --> 00:30:42.220
 enabled by the Holy Spirit

00:30:42.220 --> 00:30:43.180
 to write down

00:30:43.180 --> 00:30:44.280
 the gospels

00:30:44.280 --> 00:30:45.000
 the Holy Spirit

00:30:45.000 --> 00:30:45.660
 would breathe out

00:30:45.660 --> 00:30:45.960
 to them

00:30:45.960 --> 00:30:46.720
 the true teaching

00:30:46.720 --> 00:30:47.440
 when the Lord

00:30:47.440 --> 00:30:47.920
 came back

00:30:47.920 --> 00:30:48.640
 from the resurrection

00:30:48.640 --> 00:30:49.700
 and walked them

00:30:49.700 --> 00:30:50.400
 through the scriptures

00:30:50.400 --> 00:30:51.540
 they are remembering

00:30:51.540 --> 00:30:52.240
 this by the help

00:30:52.240 --> 00:30:52.740
 of the Spirit

00:30:52.740 --> 00:30:53.680
 and giving it

00:30:53.680 --> 00:30:54.259
 to the church

00:30:54.259 --> 00:30:54.900
 for generations

00:30:54.900 --> 00:30:55.460
 to come

00:30:55.460 --> 00:30:56.500
 in the New Testament

00:30:56.500 --> 00:30:57.759
 that's the most

00:30:57.759 --> 00:30:58.780
 immediate application

00:30:58.780 --> 00:31:00.680
 but that same ministry

00:31:00.680 --> 00:31:01.280
 of the Holy Spirit

00:31:01.280 --> 00:31:02.180
 is true for every one

00:31:02.180 --> 00:31:02.940
 of us as well

00:31:02.940 --> 00:31:03.700
 even though we're

00:31:03.700 --> 00:31:04.280
 not apostles

00:31:04.280 --> 00:31:05.600
 he brings to our

00:31:05.600 --> 00:31:06.300
 memories

00:31:06.300 --> 00:31:07.480
 he helps us

00:31:07.480 --> 00:31:08.940
 remember his truth

00:31:08.940 --> 00:31:10.720
 you've had this

00:31:10.720 --> 00:31:11.240
 happen to you

00:31:11.240 --> 00:31:11.680
 haven't you

00:31:11.680 --> 00:31:13.960
 you out of nowhere

00:31:13.960 --> 00:31:14.620
 out of nowhere

00:31:14.620 --> 00:31:15.320
 you're in the middle

00:31:15.320 --> 00:31:16.019
 of a situation

00:31:16.019 --> 00:31:16.980
 you're in a conversation

00:31:16.980 --> 00:31:18.259
 and a phrase

00:31:18.259 --> 00:31:19.039
 or a Bible verse

00:31:19.039 --> 00:31:19.799
 comes to mind

00:31:19.799 --> 00:31:20.960
 and you're able

00:31:20.960 --> 00:31:22.200
 to find the comfort

00:31:22.200 --> 00:31:22.799
 of holding on

00:31:22.799 --> 00:31:23.500
 to that promise

00:31:23.500 --> 00:31:24.200
 you have

00:31:24.200 --> 00:31:25.700
 through a disciplined

00:31:25.700 --> 00:31:26.099
 study

00:31:26.099 --> 00:31:26.740
 had God's word

00:31:26.740 --> 00:31:27.700
 dwell richly in you

00:31:27.700 --> 00:31:28.200
 and the Spirit

00:31:28.200 --> 00:31:29.259
 brings it to your memory

00:31:29.259 --> 00:31:30.380
 and reminds you

00:31:30.380 --> 00:31:30.720
 of that

00:31:30.720 --> 00:31:31.700
 you could not do

00:31:31.700 --> 00:31:32.319
 that on your own

00:31:32.319 --> 00:31:32.799
 you and I

00:31:32.799 --> 00:31:33.740
 we're too broken

00:31:33.740 --> 00:31:35.240
 our flesh is too strong

00:31:35.240 --> 00:31:36.160
 but the Spirit

00:31:36.160 --> 00:31:36.900
 draws it back

00:31:36.900 --> 00:31:37.440
 to our memory

00:31:37.440 --> 00:31:38.519
 and he shows us

00:31:38.519 --> 00:31:39.759
 how to use his word

00:31:39.759 --> 00:31:41.120
 so that we are always

00:31:41.120 --> 00:31:42.200
 fully equipped

00:31:42.200 --> 00:31:43.120
 to walk with him

00:31:43.120 --> 00:31:44.880
 this is what we do

00:31:44.880 --> 00:31:45.299
 every week

00:31:45.299 --> 00:31:45.919
 as a congregation

00:31:45.919 --> 00:31:46.720
 when we gather

00:31:46.720 --> 00:31:47.659
 we just sing this

00:31:47.659 --> 00:31:48.619
 as a prayer

00:31:48.619 --> 00:31:50.159
 speak oh Lord

00:31:50.159 --> 00:31:51.720
 as we come to you

00:31:51.720 --> 00:31:53.180
 to receive the food

00:31:53.180 --> 00:31:54.119
 of your holy word

00:31:54.119 --> 00:31:55.960
 take your truth

00:31:55.960 --> 00:31:57.579
 plant it deep in us

00:31:57.579 --> 00:31:59.500
 shape and fashion us

00:31:59.500 --> 00:32:00.460
 in your likeness

00:32:00.460 --> 00:32:02.180
 that the light of Christ

00:32:02.180 --> 00:32:03.220
 might be seen today

00:32:03.220 --> 00:32:05.319
 in our acts of love

00:32:05.319 --> 00:32:07.119
 in our deeds of faith

00:32:07.119 --> 00:32:08.599
 speak oh Lord

00:32:08.599 --> 00:32:10.119
 and fulfill in us

00:32:10.119 --> 00:32:11.839
 all your purposes

00:32:11.839 --> 00:32:13.680
 for your glory

00:32:13.680 --> 00:32:14.919
 that's the ministry

00:32:14.920 --> 00:32:16.279
 of the Holy Spirit

00:32:16.279 --> 00:32:17.259
 with the church

00:32:17.259 --> 00:32:19.460
 so our Lord Jesus Christ

00:32:19.460 --> 00:32:20.640
 promises that his spirit

00:32:20.640 --> 00:32:21.300
 will help you

00:32:21.300 --> 00:32:23.039
 to learn Christ

00:32:23.039 --> 00:32:24.420
 the word of God

00:32:24.420 --> 00:32:26.420
 God's living word

00:32:26.420 --> 00:32:27.259
 the gospel

00:32:27.259 --> 00:32:29.380
 the person of the son

00:32:29.380 --> 00:32:30.400
 you will know him

00:32:30.400 --> 00:32:31.480
 you will learn him

00:32:31.480 --> 00:32:32.340
 he will teach you

00:32:32.340 --> 00:32:33.060
 Christ

00:32:33.060 --> 00:32:34.740
 and he'll do that

00:32:34.740 --> 00:32:35.920
 through his scripture

00:32:35.920 --> 00:32:36.620
 through the Bible

00:32:36.620 --> 00:32:38.580
 number six

00:32:38.580 --> 00:32:39.900
 Christ's promises

00:32:39.900 --> 00:32:40.759
 are for you

00:32:40.759 --> 00:32:41.940
 if you know

00:32:41.940 --> 00:32:43.320
 the heavenly peace

00:32:43.319 --> 00:32:44.539
 that only Christ

00:32:44.539 --> 00:32:45.599
 can give you

00:32:45.599 --> 00:32:47.379
 and that's really

00:32:47.379 --> 00:32:48.079
 the theme of this

00:32:48.079 --> 00:32:48.919
 entire chapter

00:32:48.919 --> 00:32:49.759
 chapter 14

00:32:49.759 --> 00:32:51.039
 we've seen how

00:32:51.039 --> 00:32:52.139
 the disciples

00:32:52.139 --> 00:32:53.159
 were troubled in heart

00:32:53.159 --> 00:32:54.159
 and Jesus tells them

00:32:54.159 --> 00:32:55.839
 let not your hearts

00:32:55.839 --> 00:32:56.359
 be troubled

00:32:56.359 --> 00:32:57.240
 and he repeats

00:32:57.240 --> 00:32:58.159
 that refrain here

00:32:58.159 --> 00:32:59.200
 at the end of this

00:32:59.200 --> 00:33:00.139
 passage as well

00:33:00.139 --> 00:33:02.059
 we saw that before that

00:33:02.059 --> 00:33:03.259
 Jesus was troubled

00:33:03.259 --> 00:33:03.720
 of heart

00:33:03.720 --> 00:33:05.299
 and he came into the world

00:33:05.299 --> 00:33:06.460
 to give the peace

00:33:06.460 --> 00:33:06.859
 of heaven

00:33:06.859 --> 00:33:07.539
 and he did that

00:33:07.539 --> 00:33:08.740
 by putting himself

00:33:08.740 --> 00:33:09.679
 in trouble

00:33:09.680 --> 00:33:11.539
 in verse 27

00:33:11.539 --> 00:33:12.259
 he tells them

00:33:12.259 --> 00:33:13.019
 peace

00:33:13.019 --> 00:33:14.560
 I leave with you

00:33:14.560 --> 00:33:15.720
 what kind of peace

00:33:15.720 --> 00:33:16.900
 my peace

00:33:16.900 --> 00:33:18.100
 I give to you

00:33:18.100 --> 00:33:19.320
 not as the world

00:33:19.320 --> 00:33:20.759
 gives do I give to you

00:33:20.759 --> 00:33:22.720
 that's why you can

00:33:22.720 --> 00:33:23.980
 let not your hearts

00:33:23.980 --> 00:33:24.620
 be troubled

00:33:24.620 --> 00:33:26.180
 and neither let them

00:33:26.180 --> 00:33:27.279
 be afraid

00:33:27.279 --> 00:33:29.600
 Jesus is about

00:33:29.600 --> 00:33:30.480
 to take the disciples

00:33:30.480 --> 00:33:31.279
 into the garden

00:33:31.279 --> 00:33:32.440
 of Gethsemane

00:33:32.440 --> 00:33:33.620
 this is the calm

00:33:33.620 --> 00:33:34.440
 before the storm

00:33:34.440 --> 00:33:35.900
 this is the quiet

00:33:35.900 --> 00:33:36.480
 gathering

00:33:36.480 --> 00:33:37.519
 the selah

00:33:37.519 --> 00:33:38.259
 the pause

00:33:38.259 --> 00:33:39.400
 before they go

00:33:39.400 --> 00:33:40.500
 to spiritual war

00:33:40.500 --> 00:33:43.180
 well how is the peace

00:33:43.180 --> 00:33:43.660
 of Christ

00:33:43.660 --> 00:33:44.700
 even in that moment

00:33:44.700 --> 00:33:46.259
 before his great work

00:33:46.259 --> 00:33:47.099
 leading up to

00:33:47.099 --> 00:33:48.619
 and finished on the cross

00:33:48.619 --> 00:33:49.400
 how is it different

00:33:49.400 --> 00:33:49.879
 than the world

00:33:49.879 --> 00:33:50.900
 of the peace

00:33:50.900 --> 00:33:51.539
 that this world

00:33:51.539 --> 00:33:52.140
 can offer

00:33:52.140 --> 00:33:54.140
 all that this world

00:33:54.140 --> 00:33:54.799
 can offer

00:33:54.799 --> 00:33:55.819
 is creaturely

00:33:55.819 --> 00:33:57.059
 it is dependent

00:33:57.059 --> 00:33:58.240
 and temporary

00:33:58.240 --> 00:34:00.900
 someone said

00:34:00.900 --> 00:34:01.440
 that the peace

00:34:01.440 --> 00:34:01.879
 of the world

00:34:01.879 --> 00:34:03.519
 is a fragile truce

00:34:03.519 --> 00:34:05.220
 that can be upended

00:34:05.220 --> 00:34:06.240
 at any time

00:34:06.240 --> 00:34:07.500
 by one single act

00:34:07.500 --> 00:34:08.280
 of violence

00:34:08.280 --> 00:34:10.139
 but the peace

00:34:10.139 --> 00:34:11.059
 that comes from heaven

00:34:11.059 --> 00:34:12.639
 it's not temporary

00:34:12.639 --> 00:34:14.239
 it is everlasting

00:34:14.239 --> 00:34:15.559
 untouchable

00:34:15.559 --> 00:34:16.760
 because it's the peace

00:34:16.760 --> 00:34:18.179
 from God himself

00:34:18.179 --> 00:34:19.780
 and there's no shadow

00:34:19.780 --> 00:34:20.880
 of turning in God

00:34:20.880 --> 00:34:23.099
 it is not dependent

00:34:23.099 --> 00:34:24.119
 and therefore

00:34:24.119 --> 00:34:24.920
 it will never

00:34:24.920 --> 00:34:25.880
 fade away

00:34:25.880 --> 00:34:31.360
 the Holy Spirit

00:34:31.360 --> 00:34:32.059
 came to take

00:34:32.059 --> 00:34:33.260
 that same peace

00:34:33.260 --> 00:34:34.260
 that Jesus Christ

00:34:34.260 --> 00:34:36.100
 accomplished

00:34:36.100 --> 00:34:37.320
 and merited

00:34:37.320 --> 00:34:37.960
 not because he

00:34:37.960 --> 00:34:38.520
 lacked anything

00:34:38.520 --> 00:34:39.280
 but because we

00:34:39.280 --> 00:34:39.960
 lack everything

00:34:39.960 --> 00:34:40.460
 and the Spirit

00:34:40.460 --> 00:34:41.360
 takes the peace

00:34:41.360 --> 00:34:42.600
 that Jesus Christ

00:34:42.600 --> 00:34:44.060
 received from the Father

00:34:44.060 --> 00:34:45.620
 having finished his work

00:34:45.620 --> 00:34:46.380
 and the Spirit

00:34:46.380 --> 00:34:47.380
 applies it out

00:34:47.380 --> 00:34:48.680
 to the church now

00:34:48.680 --> 00:34:51.040
 see you and I

00:34:51.040 --> 00:34:51.680
 are in need

00:34:51.680 --> 00:34:52.340
 of peace

00:34:52.340 --> 00:34:52.800
 aren't we

00:34:52.800 --> 00:34:54.720
 and Jesus said

00:34:54.720 --> 00:34:56.160
 if you follow me

00:34:56.160 --> 00:34:57.140
 you're going to need

00:34:57.140 --> 00:34:58.040
 to take up your cross

00:34:58.040 --> 00:34:58.540
 daily

00:34:58.539 --> 00:35:00.219
 in this world

00:35:00.219 --> 00:35:01.139
 you will

00:35:01.139 --> 00:35:02.039
 have trouble

00:35:02.039 --> 00:35:03.639
 but I give you

00:35:03.639 --> 00:35:04.500
 my peace

00:35:04.500 --> 00:35:04.900
 he says

00:35:04.900 --> 00:35:05.820
 in verse 27

00:35:05.820 --> 00:35:08.519
 but God's peace

00:35:08.519 --> 00:35:09.500
 is not for everyone

00:35:09.500 --> 00:35:10.619
 who is it

00:35:10.619 --> 00:35:11.679
 that gets this peace

00:35:11.679 --> 00:35:14.039
 see peace

00:35:14.039 --> 00:35:15.619
 requires faith

00:35:15.619 --> 00:35:17.759
 and you and I

00:35:17.759 --> 00:35:18.800
 we need peace

00:35:18.800 --> 00:35:19.980
 and we need the faith

00:35:19.980 --> 00:35:20.860
 that comes before

00:35:20.860 --> 00:35:21.519
 that peace

00:35:21.519 --> 00:35:22.820
 Ephesians 2

00:35:22.820 --> 00:35:23.940
 says by grace

00:35:23.940 --> 00:35:25.920
 God has saved you

00:35:25.920 --> 00:35:27.100
 through faith

00:35:27.100 --> 00:35:28.240
 and even this

00:35:28.240 --> 00:35:29.380
 is not your own doing

00:35:29.380 --> 00:35:30.300
 it is the gift

00:35:30.300 --> 00:35:30.820
 of God

00:35:30.820 --> 00:35:32.880
 Jesus says

00:35:32.880 --> 00:35:33.960
 you have

00:35:33.960 --> 00:35:34.820
 this faith

00:35:34.820 --> 00:35:35.460
 of salvation

00:35:35.460 --> 00:35:36.820
 if you obey me

00:35:36.820 --> 00:35:37.360
 but you and I

00:35:37.360 --> 00:35:38.440
 we can't obey him

00:35:38.440 --> 00:35:39.800
 we need his help

00:35:39.800 --> 00:35:41.240
 to even obey him

00:35:41.240 --> 00:35:42.240
 and to know

00:35:42.240 --> 00:35:43.120
 whether we have

00:35:43.120 --> 00:35:44.039
 the saving faith

00:35:44.039 --> 00:35:45.440
 and it is the Spirit

00:35:45.440 --> 00:35:46.440
 your helper

00:35:46.440 --> 00:35:47.820
 we're told in

00:35:47.820 --> 00:35:48.840
 2 Corinthians 10

00:35:48.840 --> 00:35:49.240
 5

00:35:49.240 --> 00:35:50.400
 who will help you

00:35:50.400 --> 00:35:51.700
 take every thought

00:35:51.699 --> 00:35:52.500
 captive

00:35:52.500 --> 00:35:54.039
 to obey Christ

00:35:54.039 --> 00:35:56.119
 we need peace

00:35:56.119 --> 00:35:57.199
 he gives the peace

00:35:57.199 --> 00:35:57.919
 we need faith

00:35:57.919 --> 00:35:58.679
 he's the one

00:35:58.679 --> 00:35:59.359
 who gives the faith

00:35:59.359 --> 00:36:01.419
 we need to obey him

00:36:01.419 --> 00:36:02.619
 and he's the one

00:36:02.619 --> 00:36:03.639
 who helps us

00:36:03.639 --> 00:36:05.239
 to obey him

00:36:05.239 --> 00:36:07.779
 if you love me

00:36:07.779 --> 00:36:08.599
 you will obey me

00:36:08.599 --> 00:36:09.299
 Jesus says

00:36:09.299 --> 00:36:10.319
 and to obey

00:36:10.319 --> 00:36:11.639
 you need God's love

00:36:11.639 --> 00:36:12.980
 in 1 John 4

00:36:12.980 --> 00:36:13.359
 19

00:36:13.359 --> 00:36:14.679
 we don't even have

00:36:14.679 --> 00:36:15.219
 the love

00:36:15.219 --> 00:36:16.079
 that would make us

00:36:16.079 --> 00:36:16.879
 want to obey

00:36:16.879 --> 00:36:18.359
 but we love

00:36:18.359 --> 00:36:19.379
 because God

00:36:19.379 --> 00:36:19.980
 first

00:36:19.980 --> 00:36:21.119
 loved us

00:36:21.119 --> 00:36:22.319
 do you see

00:36:22.319 --> 00:36:23.199
 how our salvation

00:36:23.199 --> 00:36:24.579
 our sanctification

00:36:24.579 --> 00:36:25.179
 all the way

00:36:25.179 --> 00:36:25.679
 to the end

00:36:25.679 --> 00:36:27.159
 it begins with God

00:36:27.159 --> 00:36:28.199
 it ends in God

00:36:28.199 --> 00:36:29.639
 for the glory of God

00:36:29.639 --> 00:36:30.759
 from start to finish

00:36:30.759 --> 00:36:32.039
 so that no man

00:36:32.039 --> 00:36:32.880
 can boast

00:36:32.880 --> 00:36:33.920
 and even a small

00:36:33.920 --> 00:36:35.239
 aspect of it

00:36:35.239 --> 00:36:36.359
 all glory be

00:36:36.359 --> 00:36:37.199
 to God

00:36:37.199 --> 00:36:41.559
 our Lord Jesus Christ

00:36:41.559 --> 00:36:42.779
 was going to war

00:36:42.779 --> 00:36:43.980
 he was going to

00:36:43.980 --> 00:36:45.159
 march down the stairs

00:36:45.159 --> 00:36:46.079
 of that upper room

00:36:46.079 --> 00:36:46.799
 into the garden

00:36:46.799 --> 00:36:48.679
 he was going to

00:36:48.679 --> 00:36:49.579
 sweat blood

00:36:49.579 --> 00:36:51.960
 intense spiritual war

00:36:51.960 --> 00:36:53.440
 in moments

00:36:53.440 --> 00:36:55.400
 and he tells the disciples

00:36:55.400 --> 00:36:57.599
 I'm doing that

00:36:57.599 --> 00:36:58.819
 I'm walking that road

00:36:58.819 --> 00:36:59.340
 of the cross

00:36:59.340 --> 00:37:00.019
 so you

00:37:00.019 --> 00:37:01.579
 can have my peace

00:37:01.579 --> 00:37:02.779
 the peace

00:37:02.779 --> 00:37:03.539
 I have shared

00:37:03.539 --> 00:37:04.159
 for eternity

00:37:04.159 --> 00:37:05.299
 with my father

00:37:05.299 --> 00:37:05.779
 in heaven

00:37:05.779 --> 00:37:10.860
 my peace

00:37:10.860 --> 00:37:11.799
 I give you

00:37:11.799 --> 00:37:13.159
 independent of anything

00:37:13.159 --> 00:37:13.920
 on this earth

00:37:13.920 --> 00:37:15.179
 by the power

00:37:15.179 --> 00:37:16.000
 of God

00:37:16.000 --> 00:37:17.119
 through the Holy Spirit

00:37:17.119 --> 00:37:18.859
 everything

00:37:18.859 --> 00:37:20.239
 God has purposes

00:37:20.239 --> 00:37:21.460
 I will accomplish

00:37:21.460 --> 00:37:23.099
 for you my people

00:37:23.099 --> 00:37:24.480
 by the great

00:37:24.480 --> 00:37:25.900
 second advocate

00:37:25.900 --> 00:37:26.639
 that will come

00:37:26.639 --> 00:37:27.359
 in my name

00:37:27.359 --> 00:37:28.579
 to bring you

00:37:28.579 --> 00:37:29.380
 and prepare you

00:37:29.380 --> 00:37:29.880
 for heaven

00:37:29.880 --> 00:37:32.119
 so our Lord Jesus Christ

00:37:32.119 --> 00:37:32.839
 promises that

00:37:32.839 --> 00:37:33.779
 his spirit will give

00:37:33.779 --> 00:37:34.960
 a heavenly peace

00:37:34.960 --> 00:37:36.259
 in your heart

00:37:36.259 --> 00:37:37.359
 if you

00:37:37.359 --> 00:37:38.359
 love him

00:37:38.359 --> 00:37:39.819
 so that he gets

00:37:39.819 --> 00:37:40.460
 all the glory

00:37:40.460 --> 00:37:42.679
 number seven

00:37:42.679 --> 00:37:43.659
 Christ promises

00:37:43.659 --> 00:37:44.460
 are for you

00:37:44.460 --> 00:37:46.059
 if you rejoice

00:37:46.059 --> 00:37:47.900
 in the son's

00:37:47.900 --> 00:37:48.440
 submission

00:37:48.440 --> 00:37:49.679
 to the father

00:37:49.679 --> 00:37:51.860
 see in verse 28

00:37:51.860 --> 00:37:52.699
 Jesus says

00:37:52.699 --> 00:37:53.599
 you heard me say

00:37:53.599 --> 00:37:54.179
 to you

00:37:54.179 --> 00:37:55.480
 I am going away

00:37:55.480 --> 00:37:57.440
 and I will come

00:37:57.440 --> 00:37:57.840
 to you

00:37:57.840 --> 00:37:59.179
 and if you loved me

00:37:59.179 --> 00:38:00.000
 you would rejoice

00:38:00.000 --> 00:38:01.780
 because I am going

00:38:01.780 --> 00:38:02.880
 to the father

00:38:02.880 --> 00:38:03.659
 for the father

00:38:03.659 --> 00:38:04.880
 is greater than I

00:38:04.880 --> 00:38:06.159
 and now I have

00:38:06.159 --> 00:38:06.639
 told you

00:38:06.639 --> 00:38:07.460
 this

00:38:07.460 --> 00:38:08.579
 before it takes place

00:38:08.579 --> 00:38:09.500
 so that when it does

00:38:09.500 --> 00:38:10.220
 take place

00:38:10.220 --> 00:38:11.500
 you may believe

00:38:11.500 --> 00:38:12.699
 the disciples

00:38:12.699 --> 00:38:13.220
 are troubled

00:38:13.219 --> 00:38:14.279
 because Jesus is saying

00:38:14.279 --> 00:38:15.079
 he's going away

00:38:15.079 --> 00:38:15.899
 and they don't know

00:38:15.899 --> 00:38:16.480
 the way to where

00:38:16.480 --> 00:38:16.939
 he's going

00:38:16.939 --> 00:38:17.579
 how are we ever

00:38:17.579 --> 00:38:18.519
 going to see you again

00:38:18.519 --> 00:38:19.899
 and Jesus says

00:38:19.899 --> 00:38:20.659
 if you understood

00:38:20.659 --> 00:38:21.759
 I'm doing this

00:38:21.759 --> 00:38:22.679
 out of obedience

00:38:22.679 --> 00:38:23.379
 to my father

00:38:23.379 --> 00:38:24.219
 you would rejoice

00:38:24.219 --> 00:38:25.419
 that I'm going away

00:38:25.419 --> 00:38:26.399
 I'm going back to him

00:38:26.399 --> 00:38:27.480
 it means my work

00:38:27.480 --> 00:38:28.539
 is finished on this earth

00:38:28.539 --> 00:38:29.579
 the mission I came

00:38:29.579 --> 00:38:30.039
 to accomplish

00:38:30.039 --> 00:38:30.959
 is done

00:38:30.959 --> 00:38:34.139
 you won't

00:38:34.139 --> 00:38:35.319
 you won't rejoice

00:38:35.319 --> 00:38:35.819
 at Christ

00:38:35.819 --> 00:38:36.699
 going to the right

00:38:36.699 --> 00:38:37.500
 hand of the father

00:38:37.500 --> 00:38:39.000
 until you see

00:38:39.000 --> 00:38:39.579
 your need

00:38:39.579 --> 00:38:40.679
 for the great work

00:38:40.679 --> 00:38:42.779
 of God the father

00:38:42.779 --> 00:38:43.739
 God the son

00:38:43.739 --> 00:38:45.219
 and God the spirit

00:38:45.219 --> 00:38:46.599
 to save sinners

00:38:46.599 --> 00:38:47.339
 like you and me

00:38:47.339 --> 00:38:48.539
 when we see

00:38:48.539 --> 00:38:49.339
 our great need

00:38:49.339 --> 00:38:50.960
 and what God required

00:38:50.960 --> 00:38:52.259
 to satisfy his justice

00:38:52.259 --> 00:38:53.119
 we will see

00:38:53.119 --> 00:38:54.659
 that work of Christ

00:38:54.659 --> 00:38:55.739
 that march he takes

00:38:55.739 --> 00:38:56.799
 to the cross

00:38:56.799 --> 00:38:58.299
 and then his death

00:38:58.299 --> 00:38:58.759
 and burial

00:38:58.759 --> 00:38:59.639
 and his resurrection

00:38:59.639 --> 00:39:00.539
 and ascension

00:39:00.539 --> 00:39:01.719
 we will see that

00:39:01.719 --> 00:39:02.699
 and we will rejoice

00:39:02.699 --> 00:39:04.299
 that's how great

00:39:04.299 --> 00:39:05.179
 our need was

00:39:05.179 --> 00:39:06.279
 so that we can be

00:39:06.279 --> 00:39:06.960
 with our God

00:39:06.960 --> 00:39:08.000
 and we can have

00:39:08.000 --> 00:39:08.859
 his peace now

00:39:08.859 --> 00:39:10.179
 in this troubled world

00:39:10.179 --> 00:39:11.399
 because his work

00:39:11.399 --> 00:39:12.379
 is finished

00:39:12.379 --> 00:39:14.619
 the son

00:39:14.619 --> 00:39:15.719
 made himself

00:39:15.719 --> 00:39:17.440
 submissive to the father

00:39:17.440 --> 00:39:19.299
 so that you can rejoice

00:39:19.299 --> 00:39:20.960
 the son

00:39:20.960 --> 00:39:22.119
 declared to you

00:39:22.119 --> 00:39:22.659
 disciples

00:39:22.659 --> 00:39:23.119
 he says

00:39:23.119 --> 00:39:24.419
 the father is greater

00:39:24.419 --> 00:39:24.859
 than I

00:39:24.859 --> 00:39:26.059
 I came on a mission

00:39:26.059 --> 00:39:27.319
 to be the servant

00:39:27.319 --> 00:39:28.879
 I made myself

00:39:28.879 --> 00:39:30.039
 low for you

00:39:30.039 --> 00:39:32.480
 the son

00:39:32.480 --> 00:39:33.099
 took on

00:39:33.099 --> 00:39:33.799
 flesh

00:39:33.799 --> 00:39:35.399
 and he lived

00:39:35.399 --> 00:39:36.480
 and he rose

00:39:36.480 --> 00:39:37.339
 for you

00:39:37.339 --> 00:39:38.799
 the son

00:39:38.799 --> 00:39:39.679
 ascended

00:39:39.679 --> 00:39:40.919
 and took his place

00:39:40.919 --> 00:39:41.599
 as the prophet

00:39:41.599 --> 00:39:41.940
 priest

00:39:41.940 --> 00:39:42.319
 and king

00:39:42.319 --> 00:39:42.899
 of heaven

00:39:42.899 --> 00:39:44.359
 to minister

00:39:44.359 --> 00:39:44.819
 to you

00:39:44.819 --> 00:39:45.980
 to be your advocate

00:39:45.980 --> 00:39:46.980
 at the right hand

00:39:46.980 --> 00:39:47.940
 of the father

00:39:47.940 --> 00:39:49.919
 the son promises

00:39:49.919 --> 00:39:51.359
 he will come to earth

00:39:51.359 --> 00:39:52.159
 again

00:39:52.159 --> 00:39:53.419
 for you

00:39:53.419 --> 00:39:54.359
 who believe

00:39:54.359 --> 00:39:55.679
 for you

00:39:55.679 --> 00:39:56.799
 who receive

00:39:56.799 --> 00:39:57.739
 his promises

00:39:57.739 --> 00:39:58.519
 by faith

00:39:58.519 --> 00:40:00.059
 and you can rejoice

00:40:00.059 --> 00:40:01.259
 at his mission

00:40:01.259 --> 00:40:02.079
 accomplished

00:40:02.079 --> 00:40:03.860
 and you can rejoice

00:40:03.860 --> 00:40:04.840
 that every one

00:40:04.840 --> 00:40:05.599
 of these promises

00:40:05.599 --> 00:40:06.920
 are for you

00:40:06.920 --> 00:40:08.319
 because you put

00:40:08.319 --> 00:40:08.799
 your hope

00:40:08.799 --> 00:40:09.199
 in life

00:40:09.199 --> 00:40:09.719
 and in death

00:40:09.719 --> 00:40:10.679
 and the finished work

00:40:10.679 --> 00:40:11.860
 of Jesus Christ

00:40:11.860 --> 00:40:13.039
 in your place

00:40:13.039 --> 00:40:15.539
 the riddles

00:40:15.539 --> 00:40:16.099
 of God

00:40:16.099 --> 00:40:18.079
 are more satisfying

00:40:18.079 --> 00:40:19.420
 than the solutions

00:40:19.420 --> 00:40:20.739
 of man

00:40:20.739 --> 00:40:21.799
 as Chesterton

00:40:21.799 --> 00:40:22.299
 put it

00:40:22.299 --> 00:40:23.920
 do you hear

00:40:23.920 --> 00:40:24.639
 Christ today

00:40:24.639 --> 00:40:27.319
 does your soul

00:40:27.319 --> 00:40:28.059
 rejoice

00:40:28.059 --> 00:40:28.779
 within you

00:40:28.779 --> 00:40:30.019
 at his finished work

00:40:30.019 --> 00:40:31.300
 to save you

00:40:31.300 --> 00:40:33.719
 as you read

00:40:33.719 --> 00:40:34.420
 these passages

00:40:34.420 --> 00:40:35.280
 and understand

00:40:35.280 --> 00:40:35.920
 the ministry

00:40:35.920 --> 00:40:36.480
 of Christ

00:40:36.480 --> 00:40:37.800
 you hear the words

00:40:37.800 --> 00:40:38.300
 he spoke

00:40:38.300 --> 00:40:39.259
 do you believe

00:40:39.259 --> 00:40:41.599
 do you believe

00:40:41.599 --> 00:40:42.519
 in Jesus Christ

00:40:42.519 --> 00:40:43.519
 the only savior

00:40:43.519 --> 00:40:45.900
 if so

00:40:45.900 --> 00:40:47.980
 then all of the promises

00:40:47.980 --> 00:40:49.059
 fulfilled in Christ

00:40:49.059 --> 00:40:49.940
 are applied

00:40:49.940 --> 00:40:50.800
 to you

00:40:50.800 --> 00:40:52.360
 by his grace

00:40:52.360 --> 00:40:54.599
 the Holy Spirit

00:40:54.599 --> 00:40:55.420
 will cause you

00:40:55.420 --> 00:40:57.120
 to rejoice more

00:40:57.120 --> 00:40:58.260
 and to want

00:40:58.260 --> 00:40:59.180
 to obey him

00:40:59.180 --> 00:41:00.200
 more and more

00:41:00.200 --> 00:41:00.680
 and more

00:41:00.680 --> 00:41:01.880
 so that he will be

00:41:01.880 --> 00:41:02.740
 more glorified

00:41:02.740 --> 00:41:03.860
