WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.540 Reading from Exodus 33, verses 7 through 23. 00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:40.100 While the Lord spoke with Moses, whenever the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the entrance to the tent, they all stood and worshipped, each at the entrance to his tent. 00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:44.380 The Lord would speak to Moses face to face as a man speaks to his friend. 00:00:45.079 --> 00:00:50.060 Then Moses would return to the camp, but his young assistant Joshua, son of Nun, did not leave the tent. 00:00:51.539 --> 00:00:58.079 Moses said to the Lord, You have been telling me, Lead these people, but you have not let me know whom you will send with me. 00:00:58.079 --> 00:01:02.299 You have said, I know you by name, and you have found favor with me. 00:01:02.500 --> 00:01:07.179 If you are pleased with me, teach me your ways so that I may know you and continue to find favor with you. 00:01:07.579 --> 00:01:09.500 Remember that this nation is your people. 00:01:10.239 --> 00:01:14.140 The Lord replied, My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest. 00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:19.500 Then Moses said to him, If your presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here. 00:01:20.379 --> 00:01:26.039 How will anyone know that you are pleased with me and with your people unless you go with us? 00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:30.740 What else will distinguish me and your people from all the other people on the face of the earth? 00:01:31.620 --> 00:01:37.740 And the Lord said to Moses, I will do this very thing you have asked because I am pleased with you, and I know you by name. 00:01:38.260 --> 00:01:40.380 Then Moses said, Now show me your glory. 00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:47.580 And the Lord said, I will cause all my goodness to pass in front of you, and I will proclaim my name, the Lord, in your presence. 00:01:48.340 --> 00:01:52.700 I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion. 00:01:52.700 --> 00:01:57.400 But he said, You cannot see my face, for no one may see me and live. 00:01:58.359 --> 00:02:02.379 Then the Lord said, There is a place near me where you may stand on a rock. 00:02:02.740 --> 00:02:09.259 When my glory passes by, I will put you in the cleft in the rock and cover you with my hand until I have passed by. 00:02:09.939 --> 00:02:14.900 Then I will remove my hand, and you will see my back, but my face must not be seen. 00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:16.819 This is the word of the Lord. 00:02:16.819 --> 00:02:21.039 Thank you, Keith. 00:02:21.819 --> 00:02:26.079 So we're thinking today about Jesus, our Emmanuel. 00:02:26.239 --> 00:02:30.259 Thinking about that as one of the big ideas that we find through the Bible. 00:02:30.379 --> 00:02:34.680 But I want to begin with a surprising treat that I had last week. 00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:39.039 Because last week I got to enjoy a new view of the city. 00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:43.060 Because I got to see Prince's Street from up on the roof. 00:02:43.060 --> 00:02:46.439 And it was wonderful to be able to get a great panorama. 00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:50.599 And then it was wonderful to see different details about the street. 00:02:50.659 --> 00:02:54.400 So then when I came down to street level, I had a new appreciation. 00:02:54.580 --> 00:02:57.719 Maybe you've had that experience with this whole earth from the air thing. 00:02:58.140 --> 00:03:01.740 A chance to see the familiar in a new way. 00:03:02.699 --> 00:03:06.780 Now I hope and pray that today Emmanuel might be like that. 00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:09.020 This idea of God with us might be like that for us. 00:03:09.020 --> 00:03:11.020 It's maybe a word we're familiar with. 00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:13.659 Especially at this time of year, we sing the songs. 00:03:13.820 --> 00:03:15.400 We do the readings. 00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:16.820 But to think together. 00:03:17.620 --> 00:03:21.960 To take the big panoramic view of God with us through the Bible. 00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:25.379 To see the Emmanuel principle through the whole Bible. 00:03:25.500 --> 00:03:29.020 To recognize that actually the goal of God saving people. 00:03:29.540 --> 00:03:31.980 Is it so we might enjoy life in his presence forever. 00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:33.100 That we'd understand that. 00:03:33.100 --> 00:03:37.939 And then we'd be able to think about the significance for our day-to-day life. 00:03:37.939 --> 00:03:39.800 That we'd have a new appreciation. 00:03:39.939 --> 00:03:40.979 Having seen the big story. 00:03:41.500 --> 00:03:45.500 We'd have a new appreciation for what it means for our salvation. 00:03:46.340 --> 00:03:48.879 And what it means for our fellowship with God. 00:03:49.379 --> 00:03:52.319 And what it means for our understanding of the beauty of God. 00:03:52.379 --> 00:03:54.539 As we recognize Jesus as Emmanuel. 00:03:55.219 --> 00:03:56.800 God with us. 00:03:57.120 --> 00:04:00.280 Okay, so we're going to begin with Emmanuel from the air. 00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:01.699 We're going to look at six locations. 00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:04.120 To see this theme through the whole Bible. 00:04:04.639 --> 00:04:06.780 To see God with us at the center. 00:04:06.780 --> 00:04:08.580 So we will begin at the beginning. 00:04:08.780 --> 00:04:12.240 So let me take us all to the Garden of Eden. 00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:14.920 And there in those first three chapters of the Bible. 00:04:15.060 --> 00:04:17.699 We discover the desire of God our creator. 00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:20.420 Is that he would dwell with people made in his image. 00:04:20.500 --> 00:04:22.040 To dwell with Adam and Eve. 00:04:22.339 --> 00:04:24.819 That they would see and enjoy his glory. 00:04:25.220 --> 00:04:28.160 And that glory would then spread from the Garden of Eden. 00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:29.379 To the ends of the earth. 00:04:29.459 --> 00:04:30.560 That was God's goal. 00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:32.800 Of course, Adam and Eve. 00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:33.680 If we know our Bibles. 00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:35.540 We know that they fell into sin. 00:04:35.620 --> 00:04:37.439 And rather than enjoying the presence of God. 00:04:37.519 --> 00:04:38.139 They're hiding. 00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:40.699 They find themselves under the curse. 00:04:41.060 --> 00:04:43.959 And ultimately, they find themselves banished from the Garden of Eden. 00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:47.240 And they see the angel with the flaming sword of God's judgment. 00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:49.220 Denying them access back in. 00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:52.280 But God's desire remains unchanged. 00:04:52.860 --> 00:04:55.519 He will be the God who is with his people. 00:04:56.079 --> 00:04:58.840 And now that's going to work out in the story of salvation. 00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:02.100 We're going to see that in the rest of the Bible. 00:05:02.100 --> 00:05:04.020 So the next place we'll go to. 00:05:04.760 --> 00:05:06.780 Is we'll go to the story of the Exodus. 00:05:06.960 --> 00:05:09.060 And ultimately to the promised land. 00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:11.140 So think with me of Moses. 00:05:11.620 --> 00:05:14.300 Moses, God's chosen redeemer. 00:05:14.480 --> 00:05:15.520 And Moses is called. 00:05:15.640 --> 00:05:17.200 And God says to him throughout his story. 00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:20.140 Remember, I am with you. 00:05:20.740 --> 00:05:24.240 As he is called to lead the nation of Egypt out of slavery. 00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:26.280 He's called to do that. 00:05:26.280 --> 00:05:32.360 So that the people of God might enjoy life in the promised land with their God. 00:05:33.180 --> 00:05:35.699 And we see God's presence all through the story. 00:05:35.800 --> 00:05:38.420 We see it as a pillar of cloud and a pillar of fire. 00:05:38.480 --> 00:05:39.939 Led them through the wilderness. 00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:42.780 We see it as they arrive at Mount Sinai. 00:05:42.819 --> 00:05:44.400 And there's God in the cloud. 00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:45.280 And there's the thunder. 00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:46.460 And there's the rumblings. 00:05:47.220 --> 00:05:49.379 We read about it in Exodus 33. 00:05:50.340 --> 00:05:54.019 Moses had that amazing privilege of talking with God face to face. 00:05:54.519 --> 00:05:58.099 And Moses recognized that God's people need God's presence. 00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:04.299 So he insists that God would be with them as they anticipate going into the promised land. 00:06:04.419 --> 00:06:05.819 Now, of course, Moses doesn't get there. 00:06:05.899 --> 00:06:09.659 But Joshua, his assistant, he does lead the people into the promised land. 00:06:09.719 --> 00:06:11.579 And again, Joshua chapter 1. 00:06:12.019 --> 00:06:15.240 Joshua is fearful of the responsibility he has. 00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:18.180 And God comes to him numerous times saying, I will be with you. 00:06:18.299 --> 00:06:20.139 I am with you. 00:06:20.500 --> 00:06:22.639 Leading the people into the promised land. 00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:25.399 And that promised land is for them like Eden. 00:06:25.579 --> 00:06:28.779 Here they are in God's place, under God's rule. 00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:30.379 And they're enjoying God's blessing. 00:06:30.519 --> 00:06:32.360 They know God with them. 00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:35.779 But their story, too, is marked by sin. 00:06:36.300 --> 00:06:37.219 Marked by rebellion. 00:06:37.419 --> 00:06:38.719 Marked by idolatry. 00:06:38.819 --> 00:06:40.139 We read Exodus 33. 00:06:40.139 --> 00:06:43.579 But Exodus 32 is the story of the golden calf. 00:06:44.839 --> 00:06:48.159 As they make an idol instead of worshiping the one true God. 00:06:48.219 --> 00:06:55.199 And ultimately, we know that the disobedience of the people is so great that numerous times they're driven into exile. 00:06:55.199 --> 00:07:00.959 Staying with the promised land, we're going to zoom into the temple. 00:07:01.379 --> 00:07:03.879 As our third location, we're also thinking about the tabernacle. 00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:11.180 Tabernacle and temple are the literal heart and center of the life of God's people. 00:07:12.099 --> 00:07:19.680 And God, in his kindness, as it were, set the tabernacle, then the temple, as his physical address on the earth. 00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:24.100 This is where God would meet with his people. 00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:29.560 That behind the curtain in the holy of holies was where God's throne was. 00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:31.720 That's where his presence resided. 00:07:31.819 --> 00:07:36.620 Although, as Solomon said, the whole earth and heavens couldn't contain the glory of our God. 00:07:37.019 --> 00:07:42.340 And we see in the story of Israel that the tabernacle and the temple are vital to their life. 00:07:42.399 --> 00:07:44.040 It's the place where they worship. 00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:46.680 It's the place where they offer sacrifice. 00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:51.860 And it's the place they go to meet with to enjoy the glory of God. 00:07:52.079 --> 00:07:56.079 But in their story, the temple, too, becomes unclean. 00:07:56.620 --> 00:07:57.780 There is false worship. 00:07:58.420 --> 00:08:04.819 The prophet Ezekiel anticipates a day when God's glory would depart, when he would leave his temple. 00:08:05.379 --> 00:08:08.780 So as you look at the Old Testament, as you look at the big picture of the Old Testament, 00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:13.399 you see God desires and God promises that he would be Emmanuel, God with his people. 00:08:13.399 --> 00:08:16.839 But we also see there's this great barrier, the people's sin. 00:08:17.259 --> 00:08:22.060 And so the question is, how is God going to fulfill this promise? 00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:25.039 And that takes us to our fourth location. 00:08:25.500 --> 00:08:29.399 And that takes us to the story of Advent. 00:08:30.719 --> 00:08:35.139 Matthew chapter 1, verses 21 to 23. 00:08:35.139 --> 00:08:40.939 The words that we read last week, let me read them again for us now, 00:08:41.199 --> 00:08:47.439 so that we can hear the words of the angel to Joseph and to recognize their significance. 00:08:48.220 --> 00:08:49.519 So verse 21. 00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:54.600 Mary will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, 00:08:55.519 --> 00:08:57.799 because he will save his people from their sins. 00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:02.039 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet. 00:09:02.039 --> 00:09:07.699 The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Emmanuel, 00:09:08.259 --> 00:09:10.719 which means God with us. 00:09:10.839 --> 00:09:12.799 The virgin birth is the great miracle. 00:09:13.259 --> 00:09:15.899 But the great miracle is also that here is God with us. 00:09:15.959 --> 00:09:18.860 This is who is to be born. 00:09:19.000 --> 00:09:22.759 That God's promise will be kept not in a tabernacle, not in a temple, 00:09:22.860 --> 00:09:28.480 but as the Son of God comes to take on flesh and dwell among us. 00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:30.759 John chapter 1, verse 14. 00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:33.379 The Word became flesh, and we've seen his glory. 00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:38.139 The glory is of the one and only, full of grace and truth. 00:09:38.220 --> 00:09:44.080 In the coming of Jesus, God's glory and God's presence comes up close and personal. 00:09:44.200 --> 00:09:51.220 We discover Jesus is God who saves, and he is the God who saves as the God who is with us. 00:09:51.220 --> 00:09:57.120 And so, as we look at the life of Jesus, we see the glory of God with his people, 00:09:57.560 --> 00:10:01.100 and then we see the wonder of his saving plan, 00:10:01.580 --> 00:10:05.620 that in the death and resurrection of Jesus, the one who is God with us, 00:10:05.660 --> 00:10:10.920 he now opens up for us the way of access back into life with God. 00:10:11.019 --> 00:10:13.540 The sin barrier is torn down. 00:10:13.700 --> 00:10:18.180 Jesus pays for sin so that new life with God is possible. 00:10:18.179 --> 00:10:23.639 Now, let's move from our fourth location from Nazareth to our fifth location 00:10:23.639 --> 00:10:28.639 as we think about this Emmanuel idea, and we need to come to the church. 00:10:29.859 --> 00:10:34.699 Now, sometimes people have the idea, maybe have the imagination, 00:10:34.939 --> 00:10:35.699 wouldn't it be wonderful? 00:10:36.699 --> 00:10:40.639 Wouldn't it be just the best thing ever to have walked with Jesus, 00:10:40.779 --> 00:10:43.659 to have talked with Jesus, to have been there as he did the miracles? 00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:45.079 And of course it would have been. 00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:50.879 But remember, for example, what Jesus said to Thomas in John chapter 20. 00:10:51.020 --> 00:10:54.620 He said, after Thomas saw the risen Lord Jesus, 00:10:54.740 --> 00:10:55.879 you have seen and believed. 00:10:56.280 --> 00:10:59.320 Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe. 00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:03.340 Or to think about Jesus' words to his disciples before going to the cross, 00:11:03.379 --> 00:11:05.379 when he said, it's better for you that I go away. 00:11:05.420 --> 00:11:07.560 And you're thinking, how can it be better? 00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:11.920 And the reason is that Jesus is going to come to be present with his people 00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:14.799 as the Spirit comes to dwell in us. 00:11:15.539 --> 00:11:19.860 The new address of Jesus on the earth is now in the hearts of his people. 00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:22.679 Jesus now dwells with his church. 00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:28.620 We become the living temple in which God dwells by his Spirit. 00:11:29.399 --> 00:11:31.639 And then to go back to Eden for a moment, 00:11:32.240 --> 00:11:35.699 you and I, just like Adam and Eve, we have, as Christians, the same task. 00:11:35.700 --> 00:11:39.379 We are image bearers and we have seen the glory of God 00:11:39.379 --> 00:11:43.120 and we are sent to spread the glory of God through the world, 00:11:43.560 --> 00:11:47.140 to spread the light of Jesus through the world. 00:11:48.420 --> 00:11:49.620 So that's our fifth location. 00:11:49.700 --> 00:11:50.800 We have one place to go. 00:11:50.920 --> 00:11:53.000 We started in Eden. 00:11:53.360 --> 00:11:55.180 We need to go right to the end of the Bible 00:11:55.180 --> 00:11:59.040 to think about the new heaven and the new earth. 00:11:59.640 --> 00:12:01.680 So remember, Advent is a time of waiting. 00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:04.859 We're not waiting for Jesus, our King, to come. 00:12:05.019 --> 00:12:07.599 The first time we're waiting for Jesus to return, 00:12:08.039 --> 00:12:11.139 to establish his kingdom and to make everything new. 00:12:11.620 --> 00:12:15.500 Turn with me, if you have a Bible, to Revelation 21. 00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:18.439 Here is the goal. 00:12:18.979 --> 00:12:22.979 Here is God with us as it reaches its climax. 00:12:23.319 --> 00:12:27.419 And as we read it, we recognize here too is the world 00:12:27.419 --> 00:12:31.019 that you and I want more than anything else. 00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:34.219 Revelation 21 at verse 3. 00:12:35.019 --> 00:12:37.839 I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, 00:12:38.099 --> 00:12:42.579 Look, God's dwelling place is now among the people 00:12:42.579 --> 00:12:45.199 and he will dwell with them. 00:12:45.839 --> 00:12:50.019 They will be his people and God himself will be with them 00:12:50.019 --> 00:12:51.879 and be their God. 00:12:52.699 --> 00:12:53.899 And what will this be like? 00:12:54.519 --> 00:12:57.240 He will wipe every tear from their eyes. 00:12:57.240 --> 00:13:02.440 There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain 00:13:02.440 --> 00:13:06.960 for the old order of things has passed away. 00:13:07.700 --> 00:13:10.320 That's the goal of our salvation right there. 00:13:10.460 --> 00:13:13.419 Eternal life in a restored world, 00:13:13.580 --> 00:13:16.340 enjoying the presence of God forever. 00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:18.259 So we think about Emmanuel from the air. 00:13:18.299 --> 00:13:19.840 And what do we see as we look through the Bible? 00:13:19.840 --> 00:13:24.920 We see God's unstoppable desire to call a people to himself 00:13:24.920 --> 00:13:27.280 so that we would enjoy his presence and glory. 00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:33.240 We see too Emmanuel as a principle that stands at the heart of this story of Christmas. 00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:37.200 Here is Jesus come to be God with us to keep God's promise. 00:13:38.600 --> 00:13:40.100 And we need to recognize this, 00:13:40.180 --> 00:13:40.960 that in Jesus, 00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:45.019 God is inviting you and me to enjoy his friendship, 00:13:45.019 --> 00:13:47.659 to enjoy life with God. 00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:50.980 It's an invitation to trust him and to worship him 00:13:50.980 --> 00:13:54.019 and to enjoy him this Advent, this Christmas, 00:13:54.319 --> 00:13:57.620 for all of our lives. 00:13:58.879 --> 00:14:00.079 So we've taken the tour. 00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:03.699 And hopefully you have that sense of wonder 00:14:03.699 --> 00:14:07.679 that this lies at the heart of the story of the Bible. 00:14:07.779 --> 00:14:08.699 But maybe we have the question, 00:14:08.799 --> 00:14:09.740 but now what? 00:14:10.299 --> 00:14:13.899 What's this got to do with me today or tomorrow or this week? 00:14:13.899 --> 00:14:16.799 So let's go back down to street level. 00:14:17.500 --> 00:14:18.659 Now let's think about Emmanuel, 00:14:18.840 --> 00:14:19.860 not from the air, 00:14:19.919 --> 00:14:21.699 but Emmanuel on the ground. 00:14:22.579 --> 00:14:24.259 Three things to think about. 00:14:24.779 --> 00:14:25.579 Three implications. 00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:27.779 First thing, 00:14:28.980 --> 00:14:32.279 salvation depends on Jesus, 00:14:32.879 --> 00:14:34.319 our Emmanuel. 00:14:35.399 --> 00:14:36.939 There is no salvation 00:14:36.939 --> 00:14:40.439 without Jesus becoming one of us. 00:14:40.440 --> 00:14:46.300 Maybe you can think with me of those signs 00:14:46.300 --> 00:14:48.220 that you sometimes see on building sites, 00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:49.820 depending on what kind of site they are. 00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:51.400 Something along the lines of, 00:14:51.640 --> 00:14:53.000 no unauthorized entry, 00:14:53.160 --> 00:14:54.920 danger of death. 00:14:55.740 --> 00:14:57.160 Well, the Bible would say that 00:14:57.160 --> 00:14:59.900 because of our sin nature, 00:15:00.840 --> 00:15:04.580 we are unable and unauthorized 00:15:04.580 --> 00:15:07.340 to enjoy life with God. 00:15:07.340 --> 00:15:09.759 Indeed, His perfect holiness 00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:13.139 and our sinfulness renders us 00:15:13.139 --> 00:15:15.399 in terrible danger. 00:15:17.060 --> 00:15:21.300 And our situation is hopeless without Jesus. 00:15:21.460 --> 00:15:24.040 We cannot enjoy the life we were made for 00:15:24.040 --> 00:15:25.259 by ourselves. 00:15:25.379 --> 00:15:28.660 We simply cannot ascend to God's level, 00:15:28.780 --> 00:15:30.240 try as we might. 00:15:31.340 --> 00:15:32.879 Perhaps we have tried that, 00:15:33.320 --> 00:15:35.759 tried to be really moral or really religious, 00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:37.679 but the reality is that we lack 00:15:37.679 --> 00:15:39.319 the perfect obedience, 00:15:39.559 --> 00:15:40.779 the absolute holiness, 00:15:41.259 --> 00:15:43.600 and the unwavering love 00:15:43.600 --> 00:15:45.159 that God expects. 00:15:46.740 --> 00:15:49.360 And if we try to ascend to God's level 00:15:49.360 --> 00:15:50.120 without Jesus, 00:15:50.120 --> 00:15:52.379 we will find ourselves full of insecurity 00:15:52.379 --> 00:15:54.139 and doubts and fears, 00:15:54.299 --> 00:15:56.899 and ultimately we will fail 00:15:56.899 --> 00:16:00.080 because we simply cannot go up to God. 00:16:00.139 --> 00:16:01.340 But the good news is that 00:16:01.340 --> 00:16:03.000 Jesus, our Emmanuel, 00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:05.879 has come down fully God 00:16:05.879 --> 00:16:06.960 and fully man, 00:16:07.159 --> 00:16:08.179 the glory of God 00:16:08.179 --> 00:16:09.200 has come down to us, 00:16:09.259 --> 00:16:10.220 the love of God 00:16:10.220 --> 00:16:11.220 has come down to us 00:16:11.220 --> 00:16:12.860 in Jesus, the Son of God. 00:16:14.139 --> 00:16:15.659 It's Jesus who will be born 00:16:15.659 --> 00:16:17.399 in Bethlehem 00:16:17.399 --> 00:16:19.799 to die at Calvary. 00:16:22.299 --> 00:16:23.500 Jesus, we know, 00:16:24.659 --> 00:16:27.860 dies on the outside of the city. 00:16:28.000 --> 00:16:29.919 He is on the outside. 00:16:30.100 --> 00:16:30.379 Why? 00:16:30.379 --> 00:16:32.200 So that we, by faith in Him, 00:16:32.279 --> 00:16:33.779 might be brought in 00:16:33.779 --> 00:16:34.960 and brought near. 00:16:35.939 --> 00:16:37.159 Jesus, we know, 00:16:37.559 --> 00:16:39.039 goes under the sword 00:16:39.039 --> 00:16:40.000 of God's judgment. 00:16:40.240 --> 00:16:40.539 Why? 00:16:40.700 --> 00:16:42.220 So that by faith in Him, 00:16:42.820 --> 00:16:44.360 we need not face 00:16:44.360 --> 00:16:45.539 that condemnation. 00:16:46.279 --> 00:16:47.240 Jesus on the cross 00:16:47.240 --> 00:16:48.439 loses a sense 00:16:48.439 --> 00:16:50.120 of His Father's presence. 00:16:51.740 --> 00:16:54.019 He feels the anger of God 00:16:54.019 --> 00:16:56.019 as He becomes our sin-bearer 00:16:56.019 --> 00:16:57.139 so that He cannot know 00:16:57.139 --> 00:16:58.320 and enjoy God's love. 00:16:58.320 --> 00:16:58.740 Why? 00:16:59.040 --> 00:17:00.340 So that we might know 00:17:00.340 --> 00:17:02.000 God's love for all eternity. 00:17:03.220 --> 00:17:05.820 Our salvation depends on Jesus, 00:17:06.039 --> 00:17:06.980 our Emmanuel, 00:17:07.940 --> 00:17:10.000 coming to be with us 00:17:10.000 --> 00:17:11.240 and for us. 00:17:11.880 --> 00:17:13.720 So if we don't know Him today, 00:17:14.519 --> 00:17:15.500 here is an invitation 00:17:15.500 --> 00:17:16.880 to turn to Him 00:17:16.880 --> 00:17:19.340 and to trust Him, 00:17:19.660 --> 00:17:20.380 to trust Him, 00:17:20.440 --> 00:17:22.160 to forgive our sin 00:17:22.160 --> 00:17:24.160 and to give us life 00:17:24.160 --> 00:17:25.200 with God. 00:17:26.259 --> 00:17:27.380 So that's the first 00:17:27.380 --> 00:17:28.400 implication 00:17:28.400 --> 00:17:31.080 of this Emmanuel principle. 00:17:31.279 --> 00:17:31.660 Secondly, 00:17:31.880 --> 00:17:32.180 Jesus, 00:17:32.440 --> 00:17:33.600 our Emmanuel, 00:17:34.480 --> 00:17:35.519 makes fellowship 00:17:35.519 --> 00:17:36.500 with God 00:17:36.500 --> 00:17:37.820 possible. 00:17:39.480 --> 00:17:41.620 There's this wonderful reality 00:17:41.620 --> 00:17:43.720 that we need to experience 00:17:43.720 --> 00:17:45.019 as Christians 00:17:45.019 --> 00:17:45.860 to recognize 00:17:45.860 --> 00:17:47.140 that we enjoy 00:17:47.140 --> 00:17:48.100 the same level 00:17:48.100 --> 00:17:48.779 of communion 00:17:48.779 --> 00:17:49.660 and friendship 00:17:49.660 --> 00:17:50.300 with God 00:17:50.300 --> 00:17:51.980 that the disciples had 00:17:51.980 --> 00:17:53.620 as they ate 00:17:53.620 --> 00:17:54.500 and as they spoke 00:17:54.500 --> 00:17:55.820 with the Lord Jesus. 00:17:56.540 --> 00:17:57.360 Because our God 00:17:57.360 --> 00:17:58.000 isn't a God 00:17:58.000 --> 00:17:58.600 who has stayed 00:17:58.600 --> 00:17:59.540 at arm's length. 00:17:59.700 --> 00:18:00.000 Rather, 00:18:00.360 --> 00:18:01.100 He has walked 00:18:01.100 --> 00:18:01.700 in our shoes 00:18:01.700 --> 00:18:02.420 and now He lives 00:18:02.420 --> 00:18:03.300 in our hearts. 00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:04.620 And He's promised 00:18:04.620 --> 00:18:05.660 to be with us 00:18:05.660 --> 00:18:06.820 always. 00:18:09.000 --> 00:18:09.900 Matthew's gospel 00:18:09.900 --> 00:18:10.500 begins 00:18:10.500 --> 00:18:11.860 with Emmanuel, 00:18:11.859 --> 00:18:11.939 Emmanuel, 00:18:12.579 --> 00:18:14.000 but He also 00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:15.099 ends with 00:18:15.099 --> 00:18:16.339 Emmanuel. 00:18:17.139 --> 00:18:17.659 Again, 00:18:17.740 --> 00:18:18.500 if you want to turn 00:18:18.500 --> 00:18:19.519 in your Bible 00:18:19.519 --> 00:18:21.759 to Matthew chapter 28, 00:18:22.799 --> 00:18:23.719 we come to 00:18:23.719 --> 00:18:24.399 what's known 00:18:24.399 --> 00:18:25.859 as the Great Commission. 00:18:26.019 --> 00:18:27.379 So Jesus has risen. 00:18:27.899 --> 00:18:28.579 He is shortly 00:18:28.579 --> 00:18:29.779 to ascend 00:18:29.779 --> 00:18:31.859 back to glory 00:18:31.859 --> 00:18:32.719 in heaven 00:18:32.719 --> 00:18:33.519 with His Father. 00:18:34.019 --> 00:18:35.779 And in Matthew chapter 28 00:18:35.779 --> 00:18:36.859 and verse 18, 00:18:37.659 --> 00:18:39.079 we read this, 00:18:39.179 --> 00:18:40.459 Jesus came to them, 00:18:40.460 --> 00:18:41.660 that's the eleven disciples, 00:18:41.960 --> 00:18:42.579 and said, 00:18:43.380 --> 00:18:44.180 All authority 00:18:44.180 --> 00:18:44.700 in heaven 00:18:44.700 --> 00:18:45.600 and on earth 00:18:45.600 --> 00:18:46.620 has been given to me. 00:18:47.200 --> 00:18:47.480 Therefore, 00:18:47.660 --> 00:18:48.620 go and make disciples 00:18:48.620 --> 00:18:49.740 of all nations, 00:18:50.480 --> 00:18:51.380 baptizing them 00:18:51.380 --> 00:18:51.759 in the name 00:18:51.759 --> 00:18:52.440 of the Father 00:18:52.440 --> 00:18:53.620 and of the Son 00:18:53.620 --> 00:18:54.700 and of the Holy Spirit 00:18:54.700 --> 00:18:56.319 and teaching them 00:18:56.319 --> 00:18:57.400 to obey everything 00:18:57.400 --> 00:18:59.000 I have commanded you. 00:18:59.960 --> 00:19:00.799 And surely, 00:19:01.340 --> 00:19:02.380 I am with you 00:19:02.380 --> 00:19:03.400 always 00:19:03.400 --> 00:19:04.660 to the very 00:19:04.660 --> 00:19:06.360 end of the age. 00:19:06.880 --> 00:19:07.799 The life 00:19:07.799 --> 00:19:08.900 of God's people 00:19:08.900 --> 00:19:10.100 is life 00:19:10.100 --> 00:19:11.160 with Jesus. 00:19:11.500 --> 00:19:12.320 The mission 00:19:12.320 --> 00:19:13.600 of God's people 00:19:13.600 --> 00:19:14.340 is mission 00:19:14.340 --> 00:19:14.980 we do 00:19:14.980 --> 00:19:16.420 with Jesus. 00:19:16.560 --> 00:19:17.380 Every moment 00:19:17.380 --> 00:19:18.040 of our life 00:19:18.040 --> 00:19:18.640 as Christians, 00:19:18.840 --> 00:19:19.820 we enjoy 00:19:19.820 --> 00:19:20.840 the presence 00:19:20.840 --> 00:19:21.960 of Jesus. 00:19:23.540 --> 00:19:24.240 Think about 00:19:24.240 --> 00:19:25.040 what that means 00:19:25.040 --> 00:19:25.460 for 00:19:25.460 --> 00:19:26.860 where we are 00:19:26.860 --> 00:19:27.460 right now. 00:19:28.840 --> 00:19:29.440 Perhaps 00:19:29.440 --> 00:19:30.580 the family tensions 00:19:30.580 --> 00:19:31.300 that we have, 00:19:31.420 --> 00:19:32.420 perhaps the new 00:19:32.420 --> 00:19:33.320 work patterns 00:19:33.320 --> 00:19:34.220 we're adjusting to, 00:19:34.280 --> 00:19:35.460 the big financial 00:19:35.460 --> 00:19:36.019 decisions 00:19:36.019 --> 00:19:36.660 we're having 00:19:36.660 --> 00:19:37.779 to make. 00:19:39.240 --> 00:19:40.079 But think too 00:19:40.079 --> 00:19:40.879 about the regular 00:19:40.879 --> 00:19:41.779 and the everyday. 00:19:42.859 --> 00:19:43.980 As we spend time 00:19:43.980 --> 00:19:45.099 with family and friends, 00:19:45.160 --> 00:19:45.980 as we look to share 00:19:45.980 --> 00:19:46.980 the meaning of Christmas 00:19:46.980 --> 00:19:47.819 with somebody 00:19:47.819 --> 00:19:48.619 who hasn't heard 00:19:48.619 --> 00:19:50.019 the good news yet, 00:19:50.259 --> 00:19:51.759 in all of those moments, 00:19:51.819 --> 00:19:52.440 if our faith 00:19:52.440 --> 00:19:53.039 is in Jesus, 00:19:53.200 --> 00:19:54.259 He is with us 00:19:54.259 --> 00:19:56.180 and we are never alone. 00:19:57.599 --> 00:19:57.940 And do you know, 00:19:57.980 --> 00:19:58.400 as Christians, 00:19:58.500 --> 00:19:58.900 that's something 00:19:58.900 --> 00:19:59.839 we must keep 00:19:59.839 --> 00:20:01.220 reminding ourselves of 00:20:01.220 --> 00:20:02.900 so that we would 00:20:02.900 --> 00:20:04.059 value this 00:20:04.059 --> 00:20:05.360 above anything 00:20:05.360 --> 00:20:06.900 in our lives. 00:20:08.059 --> 00:20:08.920 And one thing 00:20:08.920 --> 00:20:10.140 practically that means 00:20:10.140 --> 00:20:10.839 for us is that 00:20:10.839 --> 00:20:11.860 we should never 00:20:11.860 --> 00:20:12.680 neglect the 00:20:12.680 --> 00:20:13.779 ordinary means 00:20:13.779 --> 00:20:14.940 that God has given 00:20:14.940 --> 00:20:15.759 in His kindness 00:20:15.759 --> 00:20:16.720 for us to enjoy 00:20:16.720 --> 00:20:18.339 fellowship with Him. 00:20:18.819 --> 00:20:19.600 That's why we come 00:20:19.600 --> 00:20:20.279 to church. 00:20:21.339 --> 00:20:21.680 So, 00:20:21.860 --> 00:20:23.000 the Emmanuel principle 00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:23.519 is there at the 00:20:23.519 --> 00:20:24.380 beginning of Matthew, 00:20:24.500 --> 00:20:25.019 it's there at the 00:20:25.019 --> 00:20:25.700 end of Matthew, 00:20:25.740 --> 00:20:26.680 but it's also there 00:20:26.680 --> 00:20:27.579 in the middle, 00:20:28.059 --> 00:20:30.019 Matthew chapter 18. 00:20:30.019 --> 00:20:31.839 we find Jesus 00:20:31.839 --> 00:20:32.200 saying, 00:20:32.359 --> 00:20:33.099 where two or three 00:20:33.099 --> 00:20:34.500 gather in my name, 00:20:34.819 --> 00:20:36.759 I am with them. 00:20:38.339 --> 00:20:38.819 Now, 00:20:38.900 --> 00:20:39.819 we all know, 00:20:40.139 --> 00:20:41.519 whether we're at home 00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:42.240 or whether we're here, 00:20:42.319 --> 00:20:43.319 that church doesn't feel 00:20:43.319 --> 00:20:44.339 the way it used to. 00:20:46.039 --> 00:20:46.660 But here's this 00:20:46.660 --> 00:20:47.599 wonderful promise 00:20:47.599 --> 00:20:48.660 that regardless of how 00:20:48.660 --> 00:20:50.720 Jesus is with us 00:20:50.720 --> 00:20:51.740 right now 00:20:51.740 --> 00:20:53.519 in order to bless us 00:20:53.519 --> 00:20:54.079 and do us good 00:20:54.079 --> 00:20:54.879 and to remind us 00:20:54.879 --> 00:20:55.559 of the gospel 00:20:55.559 --> 00:20:56.960 and our hope. 00:20:58.059 --> 00:20:58.279 And so, 00:20:58.359 --> 00:20:59.039 church matters. 00:21:00.019 --> 00:21:01.859 whenever we read 00:21:01.859 --> 00:21:02.879 the Bible, 00:21:04.440 --> 00:21:05.619 Jesus would speak 00:21:05.619 --> 00:21:06.559 truth to us 00:21:06.559 --> 00:21:07.779 by the same Spirit 00:21:07.779 --> 00:21:09.639 who inspired the Word. 00:21:09.940 --> 00:21:10.759 That Spirit comes 00:21:10.759 --> 00:21:11.799 to illuminate 00:21:11.799 --> 00:21:12.839 our understanding, 00:21:12.980 --> 00:21:14.019 to make it alive, 00:21:14.660 --> 00:21:15.420 that we would know 00:21:15.420 --> 00:21:16.200 more of Jesus, 00:21:16.299 --> 00:21:16.940 that we would see 00:21:16.940 --> 00:21:19.039 Jesus on every page 00:21:19.039 --> 00:21:20.160 so that we might 00:21:20.160 --> 00:21:20.619 worship 00:21:20.619 --> 00:21:22.559 and enjoy Him. 00:21:22.559 --> 00:21:27.079 where else do we enjoy 00:21:27.079 --> 00:21:29.079 fellowship with the Lord? 00:21:29.240 --> 00:21:30.480 As we pray. 00:21:31.159 --> 00:21:32.579 I read an article this week 00:21:32.579 --> 00:21:33.779 by a pastor in the States 00:21:33.779 --> 00:21:34.659 called David Platt 00:21:34.659 --> 00:21:35.039 who said, 00:21:36.139 --> 00:21:37.240 stop praying for stuff, 00:21:37.980 --> 00:21:39.599 start praying for God. 00:21:39.599 --> 00:21:42.079 because he was coming 00:21:42.079 --> 00:21:42.619 to that point 00:21:42.619 --> 00:21:43.339 of understanding 00:21:43.339 --> 00:21:44.740 that the greatest thing 00:21:44.740 --> 00:21:45.459 that we need 00:21:45.459 --> 00:21:46.079 as Christians, 00:21:46.199 --> 00:21:46.980 the greatest gift 00:21:46.980 --> 00:21:47.500 we have 00:21:47.500 --> 00:21:48.279 to offer 00:21:48.279 --> 00:21:49.619 is the presence 00:21:49.619 --> 00:21:50.219 of God 00:21:50.219 --> 00:21:51.240 in our lives 00:21:51.240 --> 00:21:52.159 day by day 00:21:52.159 --> 00:21:53.019 by day. 00:21:53.599 --> 00:21:53.939 And so, 00:21:54.019 --> 00:21:54.539 we have church, 00:21:54.639 --> 00:21:55.199 we have Bible, 00:21:55.339 --> 00:21:56.099 we have prayer, 00:21:56.219 --> 00:21:56.799 we have fellowship, 00:21:56.899 --> 00:21:58.039 those ordinary means 00:21:58.039 --> 00:21:58.959 that God gives us 00:21:58.959 --> 00:21:59.299 so that 00:21:59.299 --> 00:22:00.980 that sense of being 00:22:00.980 --> 00:22:01.819 in the presence 00:22:01.819 --> 00:22:02.319 of Jesus 00:22:02.319 --> 00:22:03.480 might be everyday 00:22:03.480 --> 00:22:05.480 reality for us. 00:22:05.480 --> 00:22:09.180 One last implication. 00:22:11.599 --> 00:22:12.860 We see the beauty 00:22:12.860 --> 00:22:13.519 of God 00:22:13.519 --> 00:22:14.839 in Jesus 00:22:14.839 --> 00:22:16.559 our Emmanuel. 00:22:17.860 --> 00:22:18.339 You know, 00:22:18.420 --> 00:22:18.900 sometimes 00:22:18.900 --> 00:22:19.740 you'll hear 00:22:19.740 --> 00:22:20.360 maybe if there's 00:22:20.360 --> 00:22:21.799 particularly significant 00:22:21.799 --> 00:22:22.400 things happening 00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:23.140 up in the sky, 00:22:23.740 --> 00:22:24.799 not typically 00:22:24.799 --> 00:22:25.420 this time of year 00:22:25.420 --> 00:22:25.960 because we don't see 00:22:25.960 --> 00:22:26.559 much of the sun, 00:22:26.599 --> 00:22:26.860 but you know 00:22:26.860 --> 00:22:27.819 you get those warnings 00:22:27.819 --> 00:22:29.579 about looking at the sun. 00:22:30.180 --> 00:22:30.400 You know, 00:22:30.500 --> 00:22:31.799 His glory is so bright 00:22:31.799 --> 00:22:32.640 it would just burn 00:22:32.640 --> 00:22:33.860 our eyeballs. 00:22:33.980 --> 00:22:34.259 And so, 00:22:34.420 --> 00:22:35.240 if you want to look 00:22:35.240 --> 00:22:35.640 at the sun, 00:22:35.680 --> 00:22:36.500 you need a filter. 00:22:37.180 --> 00:22:37.359 And so, 00:22:37.420 --> 00:22:37.859 the people that say 00:22:37.859 --> 00:22:38.740 they need a filter 00:22:38.740 --> 00:22:39.640 to look on 00:22:39.640 --> 00:22:40.480 its glory. 00:22:40.660 --> 00:22:40.819 Now, 00:22:41.640 --> 00:22:42.559 let me take us back 00:22:42.559 --> 00:22:43.700 to Exodus 33. 00:22:43.839 --> 00:22:45.259 Remember Moses' request? 00:22:45.620 --> 00:22:46.960 He wanted to see God 00:22:46.960 --> 00:22:47.599 and God said, 00:22:47.759 --> 00:22:49.539 no one may see me 00:22:49.539 --> 00:22:50.880 and live. 00:22:51.960 --> 00:22:52.880 But now we come 00:22:52.880 --> 00:22:53.620 to the announcement 00:22:53.620 --> 00:22:54.299 of the angel 00:22:54.299 --> 00:22:56.099 in Matthew chapter 21 00:22:56.099 --> 00:22:57.400 and what's been told 00:22:57.400 --> 00:22:58.480 to us about Jesus. 00:22:58.660 --> 00:23:00.279 Jesus is God with us. 00:23:00.319 --> 00:23:00.480 So, 00:23:00.539 --> 00:23:02.160 Jesus is the filter 00:23:02.160 --> 00:23:03.759 by which you and I 00:23:03.759 --> 00:23:04.839 can safely see 00:23:04.839 --> 00:23:05.740 the glory of God 00:23:05.740 --> 00:23:06.899 and not be burned up, 00:23:06.959 --> 00:23:07.619 but rather, 00:23:08.500 --> 00:23:09.779 we can receive grace 00:23:09.779 --> 00:23:11.699 and we can receive life. 00:23:12.779 --> 00:23:13.939 Jesus makes the glory 00:23:13.939 --> 00:23:15.159 and the beauty of God 00:23:15.159 --> 00:23:17.059 relatable to us. 00:23:17.099 --> 00:23:18.139 As John Calvin said, 00:23:18.220 --> 00:23:19.459 His words and actions 00:23:19.459 --> 00:23:20.220 bring Him 00:23:20.220 --> 00:23:23.079 within human range. 00:23:23.740 --> 00:23:24.179 So, 00:23:24.240 --> 00:23:25.179 we might have the question, 00:23:25.299 --> 00:23:26.519 what is God like? 00:23:26.539 --> 00:23:27.899 And we can answer 00:23:27.899 --> 00:23:28.199 and say, 00:23:28.319 --> 00:23:29.299 look at Jesus. 00:23:29.299 --> 00:23:31.879 He is God with us. 00:23:32.579 --> 00:23:32.839 So, 00:23:32.899 --> 00:23:33.339 on the one hand, 00:23:33.379 --> 00:23:33.960 we can think about 00:23:33.960 --> 00:23:35.460 His absolute authority 00:23:35.460 --> 00:23:37.159 as He does those 00:23:37.159 --> 00:23:38.119 powerful miracles, 00:23:38.119 --> 00:23:39.500 as He heals the sick, 00:23:39.539 --> 00:23:40.599 as He still storms, 00:23:40.659 --> 00:23:41.659 as He raises the dead, 00:23:41.779 --> 00:23:44.119 and we see Him loving 00:23:44.119 --> 00:23:44.839 the poor 00:23:44.839 --> 00:23:45.700 and the weak 00:23:45.700 --> 00:23:46.500 and welcoming 00:23:46.500 --> 00:23:47.299 the children 00:23:47.299 --> 00:23:48.359 and the marginalized. 00:23:49.139 --> 00:23:50.379 We hear Jesus say, 00:23:50.720 --> 00:23:52.159 I am the only way to God 00:23:52.159 --> 00:23:53.159 because I am God, 00:23:53.240 --> 00:23:54.319 but we also see Him 00:23:54.319 --> 00:23:56.399 washing His disciples' feet 00:23:56.400 --> 00:23:59.100 and dying on the cross 00:23:59.100 --> 00:24:00.440 for sinners like you 00:24:00.440 --> 00:24:01.640 and like me. 00:24:02.560 --> 00:24:03.600 And as we see 00:24:03.600 --> 00:24:04.680 the beauty of God 00:24:04.680 --> 00:24:05.380 in Jesus, 00:24:06.280 --> 00:24:06.900 again, 00:24:07.640 --> 00:24:09.300 we are to trust Him. 00:24:09.880 --> 00:24:11.320 We are to worship Him. 00:24:11.740 --> 00:24:14.100 We are to enjoy Him. 00:24:15.060 --> 00:24:16.340 So, this Advent, 00:24:16.620 --> 00:24:17.880 we both worship 00:24:17.880 --> 00:24:20.320 and we wait for Emmanuel. 00:24:21.120 --> 00:24:21.960 We worship 00:24:21.960 --> 00:24:23.560 because Emmanuel has come 00:24:23.560 --> 00:24:25.019 and He's come 00:24:25.019 --> 00:24:26.140 bringing salvation 00:24:26.140 --> 00:24:27.680 He's come opening up 00:24:27.680 --> 00:24:28.400 the way for us 00:24:28.400 --> 00:24:29.400 to enjoy fellowship 00:24:29.400 --> 00:24:30.500 and friendship with God. 00:24:30.700 --> 00:24:31.700 He's come to reveal 00:24:31.700 --> 00:24:33.259 the glory of God to us, 00:24:33.320 --> 00:24:35.000 the glorious presence of God. 00:24:35.080 --> 00:24:35.820 We see it 00:24:35.820 --> 00:24:37.220 when we look at Jesus. 00:24:38.280 --> 00:24:39.380 But we're also waiting. 00:24:40.340 --> 00:24:41.360 We're also waiting 00:24:41.360 --> 00:24:43.320 for Emmanuel to return, 00:24:43.740 --> 00:24:45.280 to establish His kingdom 00:24:45.280 --> 00:24:47.140 once and for all, 00:24:47.880 --> 00:24:49.220 to establish that world 00:24:49.220 --> 00:24:50.420 without pain and sickness 00:24:50.420 --> 00:24:51.380 and tears and death, 00:24:51.440 --> 00:24:52.360 that world where He is 00:24:52.360 --> 00:24:53.020 at the center, 00:24:53.660 --> 00:24:55.040 where all is worship 00:24:55.039 --> 00:24:55.839 and joy, 00:24:56.500 --> 00:24:58.859 whereby faith in Jesus, 00:24:59.500 --> 00:25:00.700 we get to enjoy 00:25:00.700 --> 00:25:03.000 His presence
