00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.240
 Our text for this morning is Hebrews chapter 9 verses 1 through 14.

00:00:06.179 --> 00:00:09.800
 Before I lead us in reading it, I want to remind you, beloved, that this is God's word to us.

00:00:10.140 --> 00:00:12.300
 It was written for His glory and our good.

00:00:13.200 --> 00:00:18.820
 We would all do well to listen to it in order to believe its promises and to obey its commands.

00:00:19.820 --> 00:00:22.080
 Hebrews chapter 9 verse 1 and following.

00:00:23.640 --> 00:00:29.960
 Now even the first covenant had regulations for worship and an earthly place of holiness.

00:00:30.940 --> 00:00:36.740
 For a tent was prepared, the first section in which were the lampstands and the table and the bread of presence.

00:00:37.100 --> 00:00:39.100
 It is called the holy place.

00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:43.679
 Behind the second curtain was a second section called the most holy place,

00:00:44.179 --> 00:00:48.700
 having the golden altar of incense and the ark of the covenant covered on all sides with gold,

00:00:48.700 --> 00:00:55.480
 in which was a golden urn holding the manna and Aaron's staff that budded and the tablets of the covenant.

00:00:55.479 --> 00:01:00.599
 Above it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat.

00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:04.140
 Of these things we cannot now speak in detail.

00:01:05.359 --> 00:01:09.679
 These preparations having thus been made, the priests go regularly into the first section,

00:01:09.780 --> 00:01:11.399
 performing their ritual duties.

00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:17.359
 But into the second only the high priest goes, and he but once a year, and not without taking blood,

00:01:17.740 --> 00:01:22.520
 which he offers for himself and for the unintentional sins of the people.

00:01:23.340 --> 00:01:28.660
 By this the Holy Spirit indicates that the way into the holy places is not yet opened

00:01:28.660 --> 00:01:34.160
 as long as the first section is still standing, which is symbolic for the present age.

00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:41.500
 According to this arrangement, gifts and sacrifices are offered that cannot perfect the conscience of the worshiper,

00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:49.019
 but deal only with food and drink and various washings, regulations for the body imposed until the time of reformation.

00:01:49.959 --> 00:01:54.199
 But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things that have come,

00:01:54.759 --> 00:02:00.840
 then through the greater and more perfect tent, not made with hands, that is, not of this creation,

00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:04.640
 He entered once for all into the holy places,

00:02:05.240 --> 00:02:09.259
 not by means of the blood of goats and of calves, but by means of His own blood,

00:02:09.819 --> 00:02:12.819
 thus securing an eternal redemption.

00:02:13.819 --> 00:02:18.640
 For if the blood of goats and bulls and the sprinkling of defiled persons with the ashes of a heifer

00:02:18.640 --> 00:02:21.740
 sanctify for the purification of the flesh,

00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:24.439
 how much more will the blood of Christ,

00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:29.039
 who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God,

00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:34.599
 purify our conscience from dead works to serve the living God.

00:02:35.500 --> 00:02:44.139
 This morning's text is all about the penal substitutionary atonement of Jesus Christ.

00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:49.019
 This doctrine, though rarely mentioned in these terms,

00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:52.139
 is considered weekly in our gatherings,

00:02:52.519 --> 00:02:56.620
 and I hope that it's treasured and pondered by each of you daily.

00:02:56.620 --> 00:03:01.560
 It is the very core of the Christian faith.

00:03:02.580 --> 00:03:06.360
 We have no justification, no redemption, no adoption,

00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:10.200
 no sanctification, no future glorification

00:03:10.200 --> 00:03:15.920
 without the penal substitutionary atonement of Jesus Christ.

00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:20.340
 Penal substitutionary atonement is the doctrine that states

00:03:20.340 --> 00:03:23.060
 that when Jesus died on the cross,

00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:25.759
 He took the wrath of God,

00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:28.980
 the penalty, penal of God,

00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:31.140
 due our sin,

00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:35.580
 was ours to bear because of our sin,

00:03:36.219 --> 00:03:38.259
 thus the substitutionary,

00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:41.180
 He died in our place,

00:03:41.819 --> 00:03:43.060
 and in so doing,

00:03:43.460 --> 00:03:46.800
 He appeased the wrath of God for our sin.

00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:48.280
 The atonement.

00:03:48.480 --> 00:03:51.700
 Penal substitutionary atonement.

00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:56.120
 This is central truth.

00:03:57.080 --> 00:03:58.740
 Everything else Christians believe

00:03:58.740 --> 00:04:02.120
 falls apart without it.

00:04:03.180 --> 00:04:04.060
 And you remember,

00:04:04.380 --> 00:04:05.500
 if you've been with us,

00:04:05.700 --> 00:04:07.880
 that this little church,

00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:10.140
 this little Hebrew church,

00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:14.380
 had been suffering for a belief in this Christ.

00:04:14.379 --> 00:04:19.420
 They had been tempted to go back to Judaism.

00:04:20.259 --> 00:04:22.600
 Back to the Aaronic priesthood

00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:23.719
 and all that it included.

00:04:23.860 --> 00:04:25.879
 All of its rites and rituals.

00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:28.019
 They were tempted to think,

00:04:28.219 --> 00:04:31.279
 isn't that an acceptable worship of God?

00:04:31.639 --> 00:04:34.579
 Isn't it sufficient for us?

00:04:35.740 --> 00:04:36.860
 And the author of Hebrews

00:04:36.860 --> 00:04:40.040
 is altogether and in many ways saying,

00:04:40.259 --> 00:04:42.699
 no, absolutely not.

00:04:42.699 --> 00:04:46.519
 And here he brings it kind of to a head,

00:04:46.620 --> 00:04:47.319
 as he says.

00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:50.099
 This central theme.

00:04:50.839 --> 00:04:52.579
 As he states this reality

00:04:52.579 --> 00:04:56.819
 that Christ died in our stead.

00:04:58.279 --> 00:05:00.480
 I suppose this is why Paul states

00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:02.500
 in 1 Corinthians 2,

00:05:03.139 --> 00:05:04.279
 the first two verses.

00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:05.560
 He says,

00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:07.139
 And when I came to you, brothers,

00:05:07.319 --> 00:05:09.000
 did not come proclaiming to you

00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:10.680
 the testimony of God

00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:13.459
 with lofty speech or wisdom.

00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:17.000
 For I decided to know nothing among you

00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:19.160
 except Jesus Christ

00:05:19.160 --> 00:05:21.720
 and Him crucified.

00:05:23.100 --> 00:05:23.300
 Now,

00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:26.740
 at a first reading of 1 Corinthians 2,

00:05:26.780 --> 00:05:27.460
 verses 1 and 2,

00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:27.899
 you'd think,

00:05:28.060 --> 00:05:29.939
 Paul, you didn't teach them anything else?

00:05:30.819 --> 00:05:32.579
 Doesn't the resurrection

00:05:32.579 --> 00:05:34.639
 have great bearing on their faith?

00:05:34.819 --> 00:05:36.879
 Absolutely, it does.

00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:40.319
 I believe what Paul is trying to say

00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:42.360
 is that I came and I taught you

00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:44.519
 the central doctrine

00:05:44.519 --> 00:05:48.219
 and the things that flow out of it.

00:05:49.100 --> 00:05:50.139
 But simply,

00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:52.259
 the central doctrine.

00:05:53.519 --> 00:05:55.459
 Penal substitutionary atonement.

00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:59.519
 Christ died in our place.

00:06:01.300 --> 00:06:02.379
 Charles Spurgeon once said,

00:06:02.459 --> 00:06:04.259
 and this quotation is on your bulletin,

00:06:04.259 --> 00:06:06.539
 I believe that if I should preach to you

00:06:06.539 --> 00:06:08.279
 the atonement of our Lord Jesus

00:06:08.279 --> 00:06:09.680
 and nothing else,

00:06:10.259 --> 00:06:11.800
 twice every Sabbath day,

00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:15.519
 my ministry would not be unprofitable.

00:06:16.620 --> 00:06:17.360
 And he went on to say,

00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:19.639
 perhaps it might be more profitable

00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:21.439
 than it is.

00:06:22.560 --> 00:06:23.939
 Central doctrine.

00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:26.199
 The death of Christ

00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:28.259
 on our behalf.

00:06:29.779 --> 00:06:31.779
 And so I want to consider that a bit this morning

00:06:31.779 --> 00:06:34.619
 as we look at these first 14 verses.

00:06:35.379 --> 00:06:36.459
 But to get there,

00:06:37.039 --> 00:06:40.539
 to consider the adequacy

00:06:40.539 --> 00:06:43.599
 of what Christ accomplished on the cross,

00:06:44.179 --> 00:06:46.039
 we need to first consider

00:06:46.039 --> 00:06:49.399
 the inadequacy of the Old Covenant.

00:06:49.959 --> 00:06:51.419
 We've talked about this a bit

00:06:51.419 --> 00:06:53.319
 over the past weeks.

00:06:53.939 --> 00:06:56.239
 Keep in mind that this was a letter written

00:06:56.239 --> 00:06:57.759
 and it would have been read all together,

00:06:57.859 --> 00:06:58.899
 all at one time.

00:06:58.899 --> 00:07:01.279
 And we've broken it up into very small,

00:07:01.500 --> 00:07:03.159
 digestible pieces.

00:07:04.279 --> 00:07:06.219
 I hope that the theme

00:07:06.219 --> 00:07:07.899
 of the inadequacy of the Old Covenant

00:07:07.899 --> 00:07:10.459
 is not growing tired to you

00:07:10.459 --> 00:07:13.219
 because it's helping us to understand

00:07:13.219 --> 00:07:14.919
 in greater measure,

00:07:15.099 --> 00:07:16.120
 greater clarity,

00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:19.079
 the adequacy of the New Covenant.

00:07:20.379 --> 00:07:21.699
 And so that's our simple outline

00:07:21.699 --> 00:07:22.679
 this morning for the text.

00:07:22.779 --> 00:07:23.099
 Number one,

00:07:23.139 --> 00:07:24.719
 the inadequacy of the Old Covenant.

00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:26.500
 And number two,

00:07:26.680 --> 00:07:29.640
 the adequacy of the New Covenant.

00:07:30.300 --> 00:07:32.940
 But before we get into these two points,

00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:36.080
 I think we need to talk a little bit

00:07:36.080 --> 00:07:37.560
 about the tabernacle

00:07:37.560 --> 00:07:41.180
 and tabernacle worship.

00:07:41.900 --> 00:07:43.540
 The last part of verse 5,

00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:45.040
 the author of Hebrews says,

00:07:45.600 --> 00:07:46.500
 of these things,

00:07:46.980 --> 00:07:50.520
 we cannot now speak in detail.

00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:52.280
 Why not?

00:07:52.279 --> 00:07:54.199
 He had somewhere he was going

00:07:54.199 --> 00:07:55.579
 with this letter.

00:07:56.139 --> 00:07:59.119
 He's bringing them along to a point

00:07:59.119 --> 00:08:04.199
 and they already knew the details.

00:08:05.139 --> 00:08:06.919
 These are Hellenistic Jews,

00:08:07.039 --> 00:08:08.739
 Greek-speaking Jews.

00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:11.500
 They have been part of this practice,

00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:14.179
 this type of worship.

00:08:14.859 --> 00:08:17.819
 They were most likely much more familiar

00:08:17.819 --> 00:08:19.399
 with their Old Testament,

00:08:19.559 --> 00:08:20.519
 their Scripture of the day,

00:08:20.519 --> 00:08:23.240
 than we are today.

00:08:23.439 --> 00:08:24.199
 And so I think,

00:08:24.279 --> 00:08:25.919
 and we don't have a lot more time,

00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:26.819
 but I think this morning

00:08:26.819 --> 00:08:27.659
 it would be good for us

00:08:27.659 --> 00:08:29.159
 to take a few moments

00:08:29.159 --> 00:08:30.799
 to consider the tabernacle

00:08:30.799 --> 00:08:34.620
 and tabernacle worship.

00:08:35.379 --> 00:08:36.699
 In order to do so,

00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:37.879
 Kent Hughes,

00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:39.840
 who wrote a wonderful commentary

00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:41.379
 on the book of Hebrews,

00:08:41.579 --> 00:08:42.679
 I've been using it much,

00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:44.299
 wrote some really nice,

00:08:44.539 --> 00:08:46.480
 succinct summaries to this end.

00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:48.860
 And I'm just going to read those to you.

00:08:48.860 --> 00:08:50.399
 I think his words will serve you

00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:52.240
 better this morning than mine.

00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:54.240
 So I want to read just a bit to you

00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:56.659
 about first the tabernacle.

00:08:57.620 --> 00:08:58.500
 He writes,

00:08:59.500 --> 00:09:00.899
 Israel's tabernacle

00:09:00.899 --> 00:09:03.340
 was a portable tent shrine

00:09:03.340 --> 00:09:05.460
 that was always situated

00:09:05.460 --> 00:09:07.820
 at the geographical heart of Israel,

00:09:08.080 --> 00:09:10.419
 with all the tribes camped around it

00:09:10.419 --> 00:09:12.600
 in designated orderly formation.

00:09:13.800 --> 00:09:15.100
 Approaching the tabernacle,

00:09:15.100 --> 00:09:16.580
 one first would see

00:09:16.580 --> 00:09:18.180
 the white linen walls

00:09:18.180 --> 00:09:19.840
 of the court of the tabernacle,

00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:21.960
 which formed an enclosure

00:09:21.960 --> 00:09:23.800
 150 feet long

00:09:23.800 --> 00:09:25.600
 and 75 feet wide.

00:09:26.300 --> 00:09:27.820
 The uniform whiteness

00:09:27.820 --> 00:09:29.139
 of the enclosure's walls

00:09:29.139 --> 00:09:31.220
 broadcast the holiness

00:09:31.220 --> 00:09:32.620
 of its function.

00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:35.379
 When a worshiper entered the courtyard,

00:09:36.060 --> 00:09:37.120
 he was immediately in front

00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:38.740
 of the altar of burnt offering,

00:09:39.139 --> 00:09:40.600
 a large bronze altar

00:09:40.600 --> 00:09:41.840
 with a horn at each

00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:42.899
 of its four corners

00:09:42.899 --> 00:09:45.000
 to which offerings could be tied.

00:09:45.740 --> 00:09:47.500
 This was as far as the layman

00:09:47.500 --> 00:09:48.579
 could come.

00:09:48.860 --> 00:09:49.699
 And it is the place

00:09:49.699 --> 00:09:50.799
 where he laid his hands

00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:52.659
 on the head of the sin offering.

00:09:53.459 --> 00:09:54.379
 Behind the altar

00:09:54.379 --> 00:09:55.480
 and a little to the right

00:09:55.480 --> 00:09:58.139
 stood the bronze laver,

00:09:58.439 --> 00:10:00.459
 which is like a big wash basin

00:10:00.459 --> 00:10:01.659
 with spouts that water

00:10:01.659 --> 00:10:02.980
 would come out of.

00:10:03.379 --> 00:10:04.360
 A wash basin

00:10:04.360 --> 00:10:05.840
 for the exclusive use

00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:06.740
 of the priests,

00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:08.620
 which, if neglected,

00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:10.340
 imperiled their lives.

00:10:10.519 --> 00:10:11.500
 They had to be purified

00:10:11.500 --> 00:10:12.600
 upon coming in.

00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:14.740
 Directly behind the laver

00:10:14.740 --> 00:10:15.720
 was the tabernacle,

00:10:16.539 --> 00:10:18.259
 a flat-roofed oblong tent

00:10:18.259 --> 00:10:20.059
 15 feet in height and width

00:10:20.059 --> 00:10:21.919
 and 45 feet long.

00:10:22.500 --> 00:10:24.379
 It was covered with three layers.

00:10:25.039 --> 00:10:26.159
 The first consisted

00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:28.200
 of gorgeous woven tapestries

00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:29.700
 of blue, purple,

00:10:29.960 --> 00:10:31.759
 and scarlet yarns and linen,

00:10:32.240 --> 00:10:33.440
 which was then overlaid

00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:35.059
 with two layers of animal skins.

00:10:36.120 --> 00:10:37.299
 Inside, the tabernacle

00:10:37.299 --> 00:10:38.860
 was divided into two rooms

00:10:38.860 --> 00:10:40.279
 by an ornate veil

00:10:40.279 --> 00:10:42.300
 woven of the same colors

00:10:42.300 --> 00:10:43.480
 along with gold

00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:45.500
 and embroidered with cherubim.

00:10:46.180 --> 00:10:47.500
 The veil was supported

00:10:47.500 --> 00:10:49.399
 by four golden columns

00:10:49.399 --> 00:10:51.259
 set on silver bases.

00:10:52.019 --> 00:10:53.419
 The first outer room

00:10:53.419 --> 00:10:55.680
 was called the holy place,

00:10:56.200 --> 00:10:58.100
 and the second inner compartment,

00:10:58.820 --> 00:11:00.700
 the most holy place,

00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:03.899
 or holy of holies.

00:11:03.899 --> 00:11:05.819
 And the author of Hebrews

00:11:05.819 --> 00:11:08.419
 gives some very brief explanation

00:11:08.419 --> 00:11:10.459
 of these two rooms,

00:11:10.620 --> 00:11:12.819
 beginning in verse 1.

00:11:13.220 --> 00:11:14.340
 Now, even the first covenant

00:11:14.340 --> 00:11:15.759
 had regulations for worship

00:11:15.759 --> 00:11:17.539
 and an earthly place

00:11:17.539 --> 00:11:18.899
 of holiness.

00:11:19.220 --> 00:11:20.819
 He goes on to explain,

00:11:21.559 --> 00:11:22.579
 For a tent was prepared,

00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:23.480
 the first section

00:11:23.480 --> 00:11:25.220
 in which were the lampstands

00:11:25.819 --> 00:11:26.980
 and the table

00:11:26.980 --> 00:11:28.779
 and the bread of the presence

00:11:28.779 --> 00:11:30.720
 is called the holy place.

00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:31.759
 I just mentioned

00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:34.420
 in Kent Hughes' commentary, right?

00:11:34.500 --> 00:11:36.160
 And there's some things in there,

00:11:36.200 --> 00:11:36.700
 and we won't get into

00:11:36.700 --> 00:11:37.180
 the significance

00:11:37.180 --> 00:11:38.100
 of each of those things

00:11:38.100 --> 00:11:38.980
 and what they represented

00:11:38.980 --> 00:11:40.200
 this morning,

00:11:40.300 --> 00:11:41.779
 but very careful instruction

00:11:41.779 --> 00:11:42.519
 was given.

00:11:43.139 --> 00:11:44.680
 All of it aimed at

00:11:44.680 --> 00:11:46.379
 the people understanding

00:11:46.379 --> 00:11:48.399
 the great carefulness

00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:49.840
 by which they were

00:11:49.840 --> 00:11:51.779
 to approach God.

00:11:52.420 --> 00:11:53.840
 The weightiness

00:11:53.840 --> 00:11:55.040
 of their sinfulness

00:11:55.040 --> 00:11:56.639
 and the way

00:11:56.639 --> 00:11:58.580
 that it separated them

00:11:58.580 --> 00:12:00.100
 from God.

00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:02.139
 Verse 3,

00:12:02.220 --> 00:12:03.840
 Behind the second curtain

00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:05.560
 was a second section

00:12:05.560 --> 00:12:08.160
 called the most holy place.

00:12:09.019 --> 00:12:11.120
 Having the golden altar

00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:11.899
 of incense.

00:12:12.180 --> 00:12:13.560
 And an interesting point here,

00:12:13.680 --> 00:12:14.920
 the altar of incense,

00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:16.340
 if you go and read

00:12:16.340 --> 00:12:17.960
 in, say, the book of Numbers

00:12:17.960 --> 00:12:19.320
 and you hear that this was

00:12:19.320 --> 00:12:20.120
 in the holy place,

00:12:20.160 --> 00:12:20.740
 it was,

00:12:20.800 --> 00:12:22.560
 but it stood just outside

00:12:22.560 --> 00:12:24.500
 the passageway

00:12:24.500 --> 00:12:26.960
 into the most holy place.

00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:29.800
 It belonged to the holy of holies,

00:12:29.799 --> 00:12:31.899
 although it sat outside

00:12:31.899 --> 00:12:33.139
 of the holy of holies.

00:12:34.299 --> 00:12:35.659
 And the ark of the covenant

00:12:35.659 --> 00:12:36.879
 covered on all sides

00:12:36.879 --> 00:12:37.399
 with gold,

00:12:37.479 --> 00:12:38.779
 in which was a golden urn

00:12:38.779 --> 00:12:39.959
 holding the manna,

00:12:40.439 --> 00:12:41.399
 and Aaron's staff

00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:42.019
 that budded,

00:12:42.339 --> 00:12:43.199
 and the tablets

00:12:43.199 --> 00:12:44.659
 of the covenant.

00:12:45.179 --> 00:12:46.319
 All of this

00:12:46.319 --> 00:12:48.059
 was contained within.

00:12:48.959 --> 00:12:49.439
 Verse 5,

00:12:50.079 --> 00:12:51.559
 Above it were the cherubim

00:12:51.559 --> 00:12:52.259
 of glory,

00:12:52.539 --> 00:12:52.759
 right?

00:12:52.759 --> 00:12:54.100
 Part of the ark,

00:12:54.319 --> 00:12:55.759
 the statues that were created,

00:12:56.259 --> 00:12:57.179
 overshadowing

00:12:57.179 --> 00:12:59.000
 the mercy seat.

00:12:59.419 --> 00:13:00.679
 And it was in this place

00:13:00.679 --> 00:13:01.700
 that God tabernacled

00:13:01.700 --> 00:13:02.240
 with His people.

00:13:02.360 --> 00:13:03.980
 His visible glory

00:13:03.980 --> 00:13:05.139
 dwelt inside

00:13:05.139 --> 00:13:07.480
 of this place.

00:13:08.340 --> 00:13:09.539
 Both representing

00:13:09.539 --> 00:13:11.159
 that God dwelt

00:13:11.159 --> 00:13:12.399
 amongst His people

00:13:12.399 --> 00:13:13.419
 and

00:13:13.419 --> 00:13:14.799
 that there were

00:13:14.799 --> 00:13:16.360
 reasons that they were

00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:17.059
 separated

00:13:17.059 --> 00:13:18.500
 from Him.

00:13:19.539 --> 00:13:21.139
 So this is the tabernacle.

00:13:21.139 --> 00:13:23.019
 This is what He's referring to

00:13:23.019 --> 00:13:24.240
 in our text

00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:25.340
 in Hebrews.

00:13:26.580 --> 00:13:27.100
 Then,

00:13:27.480 --> 00:13:28.840
 verses 6 and 7,

00:13:29.340 --> 00:13:30.419
 we see that there's a

00:13:30.419 --> 00:13:31.500
 form and order

00:13:31.500 --> 00:13:32.899
 for the tabernacle

00:13:32.899 --> 00:13:34.220
 worship.

00:13:34.860 --> 00:13:35.519
 Let me read a bit

00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:36.159
 to you again

00:13:36.159 --> 00:13:37.439
 from Kent Hughes.

00:13:38.259 --> 00:13:39.899
 When you have a feel

00:13:39.899 --> 00:13:41.139
 for the tabernacle,

00:13:41.639 --> 00:13:42.799
 you can begin to appreciate

00:13:42.799 --> 00:13:43.759
 its worship.

00:13:44.720 --> 00:13:45.740
 Its daily worship

00:13:45.740 --> 00:13:47.159
 was continual.

00:13:47.480 --> 00:13:47.919
 It's happening

00:13:47.919 --> 00:13:48.879
 all the time.

00:13:49.899 --> 00:13:50.620
 Worshippers brought

00:13:50.620 --> 00:13:51.460
 their sacrifices

00:13:51.460 --> 00:13:52.700
 to the great bronze altar

00:13:52.700 --> 00:13:54.159
 in the outer courtyard

00:13:54.159 --> 00:13:55.919
 one after another.

00:13:56.639 --> 00:13:57.620
 Week by week,

00:13:57.779 --> 00:13:58.620
 priests were chosen

00:13:58.620 --> 00:13:59.480
 by lots,

00:13:59.600 --> 00:14:00.419
 like casting lots,

00:14:00.659 --> 00:14:02.080
 for the high honor

00:14:02.080 --> 00:14:02.960
 of their career

00:14:02.960 --> 00:14:03.679
 to serve

00:14:03.679 --> 00:14:04.899
 in the first room,

00:14:05.419 --> 00:14:06.240
 the holy place.

00:14:07.200 --> 00:14:07.940
 There they tended

00:14:07.940 --> 00:14:09.440
 to the seven lampstands

00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:10.279
 morning and evening,

00:14:10.480 --> 00:14:11.740
 keeping them full-flamed

00:14:11.740 --> 00:14:13.360
 and stoked the coals

00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:14.500
 on the altar of incense

00:14:14.500 --> 00:14:15.639
 upon which they dropped

00:14:15.639 --> 00:14:16.759
 handfuls of incense,

00:14:17.360 --> 00:14:18.159
 filling the room

00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:19.819
 with a delicious cloud.

00:14:21.079 --> 00:14:21.339
 Weekly,

00:14:21.459 --> 00:14:21.980
 they exchanged

00:14:21.980 --> 00:14:22.980
 the bread with fresh

00:14:22.980 --> 00:14:24.259
 and then were privileged

00:14:24.259 --> 00:14:24.839
 to partake

00:14:24.839 --> 00:14:25.899
 of the sacred loaves.

00:14:26.219 --> 00:14:27.620
 But none even dared

00:14:27.620 --> 00:14:28.399
 to glance

00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:29.600
 into the most holy place

00:14:29.600 --> 00:14:31.639
 on pain of death.

00:14:31.939 --> 00:14:33.379
 They had no access

00:14:33.379 --> 00:14:34.620
 whatsoever.

00:14:36.399 --> 00:14:37.740
 Ministry in the Holy of Holies

00:14:37.740 --> 00:14:38.500
 was the domain

00:14:38.500 --> 00:14:39.759
 of the high priest

00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:43.459
 and only once a year.

00:14:44.159 --> 00:14:46.079
 And what a day it was.

00:14:46.080 --> 00:14:48.080
 During New Testament times,

00:14:48.520 --> 00:14:49.180
 the high priest

00:14:49.180 --> 00:14:50.200
 underwent rigorous

00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:52.280
 preparations for that day.

00:14:52.940 --> 00:14:53.780
 Seven days before

00:14:53.780 --> 00:14:54.460
 the Day of Atonement,

00:14:54.560 --> 00:14:55.400
 the priest left home

00:14:55.400 --> 00:14:56.600
 and stayed day and night

00:14:56.600 --> 00:14:57.460
 in the temple.

00:14:58.200 --> 00:14:58.840
 During the week,

00:14:58.900 --> 00:15:00.200
 he practiced what he would do

00:15:00.200 --> 00:15:01.660
 on that great day

00:15:01.660 --> 00:15:02.740
 so that he would make

00:15:02.740 --> 00:15:03.520
 no mistake

00:15:03.520 --> 00:15:04.759
 at the pain of death.

00:15:04.920 --> 00:15:05.080
 Right?

00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:05.639
 He went through

00:15:05.639 --> 00:15:06.620
 the rehearsal of it

00:15:06.620 --> 00:15:07.700
 to make sure he got it

00:15:07.700 --> 00:15:09.280
 just right.

00:15:10.160 --> 00:15:11.600
 He was especially cautious

00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:13.060
 not to come close

00:15:13.060 --> 00:15:13.759
 to anything

00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:14.899
 that would make him

00:15:14.899 --> 00:15:17.139
 ceremonially unclean.

00:15:18.200 --> 00:15:18.919
 Then on the morning

00:15:18.919 --> 00:15:19.960
 of the Day of Atonement,

00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:21.080
 the high priest

00:15:21.080 --> 00:15:22.539
 offered a burnt offering.

00:15:23.439 --> 00:15:24.100
 Following this,

00:15:24.200 --> 00:15:25.120
 he ritually bathed

00:15:25.120 --> 00:15:25.980
 his entire body

00:15:25.980 --> 00:15:26.500
 and then,

00:15:26.639 --> 00:15:27.460
 instead of putting on

00:15:27.460 --> 00:15:28.139
 his traditional

00:15:28.139 --> 00:15:29.460
 gorgeous robes,

00:15:29.860 --> 00:15:30.779
 donned a sacred

00:15:30.779 --> 00:15:32.559
 white linen tunic

00:15:32.559 --> 00:15:33.539
 along with white

00:15:33.539 --> 00:15:34.299
 undergarments

00:15:34.299 --> 00:15:35.799
 and a white sash

00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:37.259
 and white turban,

00:15:37.779 --> 00:15:38.860
 thus symbolizing

00:15:38.860 --> 00:15:40.000
 that he was free

00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:41.139
 from defilement.

00:15:41.139 --> 00:15:42.480
 Next,

00:15:42.519 --> 00:15:43.480
 he placed his hands

00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:44.460
 on the head of a bull,

00:15:45.059 --> 00:15:46.159
 selected as a sacrifice

00:15:46.159 --> 00:15:47.720
 for his own sins

00:15:47.720 --> 00:15:49.480
 and those of his family

00:15:49.480 --> 00:15:51.259
 and he prayed this,

00:15:52.159 --> 00:15:52.639
 O God,

00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:53.860
 I have committed iniquity,

00:15:54.159 --> 00:15:55.000
 transgressed,

00:15:55.120 --> 00:15:56.080
 and sinned before thee.

00:15:56.559 --> 00:15:57.539
 I and my house,

00:15:58.019 --> 00:15:58.659
 as is it written

00:15:58.659 --> 00:15:59.220
 in the law

00:15:59.220 --> 00:16:00.379
 of thy servant Moses,

00:16:00.879 --> 00:16:02.000
 for on this day

00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:02.659
 shall atonement

00:16:02.659 --> 00:16:03.519
 be made for you

00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:04.240
 to cleanse you

00:16:04.240 --> 00:16:05.360
 from all your sins

00:16:05.360 --> 00:16:06.340
 shall you be clean

00:16:06.340 --> 00:16:07.200
 before the Lord.

00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:08.620
 And they answered

00:16:08.620 --> 00:16:09.319
 after him,

00:16:09.439 --> 00:16:10.259
 blessed be the name

00:16:10.259 --> 00:16:10.819
 of the glory

00:16:10.819 --> 00:16:11.700
 of his kingdom

00:16:11.700 --> 00:16:14.039
 forever and ever.

00:16:15.220 --> 00:16:15.700
 Then,

00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:16.519
 leaving the bull

00:16:16.519 --> 00:16:17.480
 for a few moments,

00:16:18.059 --> 00:16:19.200
 he turned to two goats

00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:20.240
 nearby and chose

00:16:20.240 --> 00:16:21.200
 lots over them.

00:16:21.819 --> 00:16:22.919
 One was designated

00:16:22.919 --> 00:16:24.120
 for Jehovah

00:16:24.120 --> 00:16:24.919
 and the other

00:16:24.919 --> 00:16:26.559
 for Azazel,

00:16:27.019 --> 00:16:28.139
 the scapegoat.

00:16:28.860 --> 00:16:30.419
 A piece of crimson wool

00:16:30.419 --> 00:16:31.500
 was tied to the horns

00:16:31.500 --> 00:16:32.360
 of the scapegoat

00:16:32.360 --> 00:16:33.319
 and a thread

00:16:33.319 --> 00:16:34.139
 was bound around

00:16:34.139 --> 00:16:34.600
 the goat

00:16:34.600 --> 00:16:35.600
 to be slaughtered.

00:16:36.080 --> 00:16:36.639
 Then the goats

00:16:36.639 --> 00:16:37.120
 were left

00:16:37.120 --> 00:16:38.340
 standing together.

00:16:38.340 --> 00:16:40.000
 The high priest

00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:40.920
 now turned to the bull

00:16:40.920 --> 00:16:42.139
 and sacrificed it.

00:16:42.720 --> 00:16:42.960
 Next,

00:16:43.019 --> 00:16:44.040
 he filled a censer

00:16:44.040 --> 00:16:44.879
 with burning coals

00:16:44.879 --> 00:16:45.480
 from the altar

00:16:45.480 --> 00:16:46.259
 of burnt offerings

00:16:46.259 --> 00:16:46.820
 and entered

00:16:46.820 --> 00:16:47.780
 the Holy of Holies

00:16:47.780 --> 00:16:48.800
 where he poured

00:16:48.800 --> 00:16:49.620
 two handfuls

00:16:49.620 --> 00:16:50.000
 of incense

00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:50.940
 on the coals

00:16:50.940 --> 00:16:52.120
 so that a cloud

00:16:52.120 --> 00:16:52.759
 of incense

00:16:52.759 --> 00:16:54.480
 covered the mercy seat.

00:16:55.180 --> 00:16:55.960
 This done,

00:16:56.180 --> 00:16:56.740
 he exited,

00:16:57.200 --> 00:16:57.800
 obtaining some

00:16:57.800 --> 00:16:58.660
 of the bull's blood

00:16:58.660 --> 00:16:59.660
 which he then sprinkled

00:16:59.660 --> 00:17:00.480
 on the mercy seat

00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:01.540
 and then seven times

00:17:01.540 --> 00:17:02.040
 on the ground

00:17:02.040 --> 00:17:03.420
 before the cover.

00:17:04.279 --> 00:17:05.019
 After this,

00:17:05.079 --> 00:17:06.180
 he sacrificed the goat

00:17:06.180 --> 00:17:07.320
 designated for Jehovah

00:17:07.320 --> 00:17:08.299
 and performed

00:17:08.299 --> 00:17:09.180
 the same ritual

00:17:09.180 --> 00:17:10.460
 in the Holy of Holies.

00:17:11.299 --> 00:17:12.000
 Upon emerging,

00:17:12.140 --> 00:17:12.880
 he mixed the blood

00:17:12.880 --> 00:17:13.480
 of the bull

00:17:13.480 --> 00:17:14.140
 and the goat,

00:17:14.660 --> 00:17:15.580
 put it on the horns

00:17:15.580 --> 00:17:16.240
 of the altar

00:17:16.240 --> 00:17:17.759
 and sprinkled the altar

00:17:17.759 --> 00:17:18.620
 seven times

00:17:18.620 --> 00:17:19.640
 to consecrate it

00:17:19.640 --> 00:17:21.039
 from the uncleanliness

00:17:21.039 --> 00:17:22.100
 of the Israelites.

00:17:23.380 --> 00:17:24.019
 Then came

00:17:24.019 --> 00:17:25.480
 the patently joyous

00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:27.100
 part of the day's ceremonies.

00:17:27.840 --> 00:17:29.060
 The priest laid both hands

00:17:29.060 --> 00:17:29.519
 on the head

00:17:29.519 --> 00:17:30.320
 of the live goat

00:17:30.320 --> 00:17:31.200
 and confessed

00:17:31.200 --> 00:17:32.380
 all the iniquities

00:17:32.380 --> 00:17:33.480
 of the people of Israel

00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:35.460
 and all their transgressions,

00:17:35.460 --> 00:17:36.539
 all their sins

00:17:36.539 --> 00:17:37.720
 and he shall put them

00:17:37.720 --> 00:17:38.700
 on the head

00:17:38.700 --> 00:17:39.779
 of the goat.

00:17:39.900 --> 00:17:41.660
 That's from Leviticus 16.21.

00:17:42.660 --> 00:17:43.860
 The goat was then led away

00:17:43.860 --> 00:17:44.559
 into the desert

00:17:44.559 --> 00:17:45.420
 amidst the jeering

00:17:45.420 --> 00:17:46.279
 of the people.

00:17:46.799 --> 00:17:47.880
 Bear our sins

00:17:47.880 --> 00:17:48.840
 and be gone.

00:17:49.779 --> 00:17:50.360
 After this,

00:17:50.420 --> 00:17:51.140
 the high priest

00:17:51.140 --> 00:17:52.640
 put off his white garments,

00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:53.559
 bathed again,

00:17:54.140 --> 00:17:54.920
 arrayed himself

00:17:54.920 --> 00:17:56.299
 in his gorgeous robes

00:17:56.299 --> 00:17:57.200
 and completed

00:17:57.200 --> 00:17:58.039
 the burnt offerings

00:17:58.039 --> 00:17:58.720
 of the bull

00:17:58.720 --> 00:17:59.700
 and the goat

00:17:59.700 --> 00:18:01.380
 plus other offerings.

00:18:02.180 --> 00:18:02.720
 The remains

00:18:02.720 --> 00:18:03.180
 were carried

00:18:03.180 --> 00:18:04.180
 outside the camp

00:18:04.180 --> 00:18:05.539
 and burned.

00:18:06.340 --> 00:18:07.340
 And all along

00:18:07.340 --> 00:18:08.220
 on this day

00:18:08.220 --> 00:18:09.000
 of atonement,

00:18:09.299 --> 00:18:11.039
 people waited

00:18:11.039 --> 00:18:13.240
 with bated breath.

00:18:14.580 --> 00:18:16.000
 The one man,

00:18:16.200 --> 00:18:17.640
 the one time of year

00:18:17.640 --> 00:18:18.539
 who gets to enter

00:18:18.539 --> 00:18:19.380
 into the presence

00:18:19.380 --> 00:18:20.539
 of God

00:18:20.539 --> 00:18:22.940
 and make this sacrifice

00:18:22.940 --> 00:18:24.640
 on this day

00:18:24.640 --> 00:18:25.279
 of atonement,

00:18:25.480 --> 00:18:27.240
 will he do it right?

00:18:28.460 --> 00:18:30.060
 Will he survive

00:18:30.059 --> 00:18:31.440
 in the presence

00:18:31.440 --> 00:18:32.059
 of God

00:18:32.059 --> 00:18:32.899
 as he makes

00:18:32.899 --> 00:18:34.000
 this sacrifice

00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:36.259
 on our behalf?

00:18:36.379 --> 00:18:38.619
 It was a tense day

00:18:38.619 --> 00:18:39.839
 until finally

00:18:39.839 --> 00:18:41.019
 the high priest emerges

00:18:41.019 --> 00:18:42.460
 and sends away

00:18:42.460 --> 00:18:43.720
 the scapegoat

00:18:43.720 --> 00:18:44.319
 and then there was

00:18:44.319 --> 00:18:45.399
 great rejoicing

00:18:45.399 --> 00:18:46.639
 and celebration

00:18:46.639 --> 00:18:47.960
 to be had.

00:18:49.159 --> 00:18:50.179
 I want to draw

00:18:50.179 --> 00:18:50.819
 your attention

00:18:50.819 --> 00:18:51.359
 to something

00:18:51.359 --> 00:18:52.740
 in verse 7.

00:18:52.740 --> 00:18:56.339
 The high priest

00:18:56.339 --> 00:18:57.539
 goes

00:18:57.539 --> 00:19:00.259
 and he makes

00:19:00.259 --> 00:19:02.380
 offering for himself

00:19:02.380 --> 00:19:04.640
 and for the

00:19:04.640 --> 00:19:06.500
 unintentional sins

00:19:06.500 --> 00:19:08.140
 of the people.

00:19:09.420 --> 00:19:10.259
 Just note

00:19:10.259 --> 00:19:11.859
 the great mercy

00:19:11.859 --> 00:19:12.880
 of God

00:19:12.880 --> 00:19:14.120
 to the Israelites.

00:19:14.960 --> 00:19:15.960
 Ways being made

00:19:15.960 --> 00:19:16.259
 for them

00:19:16.259 --> 00:19:16.940
 to make sacrifice

00:19:16.940 --> 00:19:17.559
 for their sin

00:19:17.559 --> 00:19:18.720
 all throughout the year

00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:20.500
 and God

00:19:20.500 --> 00:19:21.519
 makes a way

00:19:21.519 --> 00:19:22.160
 for their

00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:24.339
 unintentional sins

00:19:24.339 --> 00:19:25.360
 to also

00:19:25.360 --> 00:19:27.140
 be forgiven.

00:19:27.640 --> 00:19:28.920
 This day of atonement

00:19:28.920 --> 00:19:31.079
 was so incredibly

00:19:31.079 --> 00:19:32.339
 significant

00:19:32.339 --> 00:19:34.100
 to Jewish worship

00:19:34.100 --> 00:19:34.880
 of God

00:19:34.880 --> 00:19:35.920
 but

00:19:35.920 --> 00:19:37.600
 it was inadequate.

00:19:38.539 --> 00:19:39.819
 It was inadequate.

00:19:40.180 --> 00:19:41.559
 It was a divinely

00:19:41.559 --> 00:19:42.579
 instructed

00:19:42.579 --> 00:19:43.779
 dress

00:19:43.779 --> 00:19:45.059
 rehearsal

00:19:45.059 --> 00:19:46.380
 because this

00:19:46.380 --> 00:19:47.240
 had to be repeated

00:19:47.240 --> 00:19:47.920
 again

00:19:47.920 --> 00:19:48.920
 and again

00:19:48.920 --> 00:19:49.960
 and again

00:19:49.960 --> 00:19:51.120
 and again.

00:19:51.680 --> 00:19:52.180
 It was meant

00:19:52.180 --> 00:19:53.039
 to show them

00:19:53.039 --> 00:19:54.319
 something greater.

00:19:54.880 --> 00:19:56.539
 A greater sacrifice.

00:19:56.779 --> 00:19:58.660
 A higher priest

00:19:58.660 --> 00:20:00.299
 who would come

00:20:00.299 --> 00:20:00.940
 and make

00:20:00.940 --> 00:20:02.000
 a final

00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:03.039
 atoning

00:20:03.039 --> 00:20:04.799
 for all the people

00:20:04.799 --> 00:20:05.859
 who belonged

00:20:05.859 --> 00:20:06.440
 to God.

00:20:07.620 --> 00:20:08.779
 The mosaic

00:20:08.779 --> 00:20:09.620
 worship

00:20:09.620 --> 00:20:11.339
 this tabernacle

00:20:11.339 --> 00:20:11.900
 worship

00:20:11.900 --> 00:20:13.680
 was a sort

00:20:13.680 --> 00:20:14.640
 of parable

00:20:14.640 --> 00:20:16.079
 in action.

00:20:16.079 --> 00:20:18.039
 as they observed

00:20:18.039 --> 00:20:18.559
 this

00:20:18.559 --> 00:20:20.220
 bloody affair

00:20:20.220 --> 00:20:21.799
 they were meant

00:20:21.799 --> 00:20:22.599
 to be drawn

00:20:22.599 --> 00:20:23.059
 to

00:20:23.059 --> 00:20:24.299
 a greater

00:20:24.299 --> 00:20:25.519
 more sufficient

00:20:25.519 --> 00:20:26.659
 sacrifice

00:20:26.659 --> 00:20:28.079
 for them.

00:20:29.299 --> 00:20:30.079
 So let's look

00:20:30.079 --> 00:20:30.519
 a little bit

00:20:30.519 --> 00:20:30.980
 further

00:20:30.980 --> 00:20:31.699
 at the

00:20:31.699 --> 00:20:32.639
 inadequacy

00:20:32.639 --> 00:20:33.519
 of the

00:20:33.519 --> 00:20:34.000
 old

00:20:34.000 --> 00:20:35.039
 covenant.

00:20:36.039 --> 00:20:36.759
 First

00:20:36.759 --> 00:20:37.519
 the old

00:20:37.519 --> 00:20:37.899
 covenant

00:20:37.899 --> 00:20:38.460
 had

00:20:38.460 --> 00:20:39.579
 limited

00:20:39.579 --> 00:20:41.059
 access.

00:20:41.879 --> 00:20:42.399
 Limited

00:20:42.399 --> 00:20:43.319
 access.

00:20:43.519 --> 00:20:43.859
 And you see

00:20:43.859 --> 00:20:44.339
 this in

00:20:44.339 --> 00:20:45.359
 verse 6

00:20:45.359 --> 00:20:45.759
 and through

00:20:45.759 --> 00:20:46.099
 the first

00:20:46.099 --> 00:20:46.500
 part

00:20:46.500 --> 00:20:47.019
 of

00:20:47.019 --> 00:20:48.579
 verse 9.

00:20:49.319 --> 00:20:50.199
 All these

00:20:50.199 --> 00:20:50.879
 preparations.

00:20:51.299 --> 00:20:51.819
 All these

00:20:51.819 --> 00:20:52.579
 things going

00:20:52.579 --> 00:20:53.099
 about.

00:20:53.419 --> 00:20:54.219
 First

00:20:54.219 --> 00:20:54.879
 that priests

00:20:54.879 --> 00:20:55.559
 had to

00:20:55.559 --> 00:20:56.359
 make

00:20:56.359 --> 00:20:57.000
 sacrifice

00:20:57.000 --> 00:20:57.919
 in any

00:20:57.919 --> 00:20:58.259
 day

00:20:58.259 --> 00:20:58.579
 that a

00:20:58.579 --> 00:20:58.979
 sacrifice

00:20:58.979 --> 00:20:59.579
 was being

00:20:59.579 --> 00:20:59.939
 made.

00:21:00.339 --> 00:21:00.619
 And then

00:21:00.619 --> 00:21:01.459
 this high

00:21:01.459 --> 00:21:01.839
 priest

00:21:01.839 --> 00:21:02.500
 the one

00:21:02.500 --> 00:21:02.939
 man

00:21:02.939 --> 00:21:03.519
 once

00:21:03.519 --> 00:21:04.359
 a year

00:21:04.359 --> 00:21:04.879
 who was

00:21:04.879 --> 00:21:05.059
 given

00:21:05.059 --> 00:21:05.639
 access

00:21:05.639 --> 00:21:06.759
 to God.

00:21:07.299 --> 00:21:08.019
 Very

00:21:08.019 --> 00:21:08.439
 limited.

00:21:09.279 --> 00:21:09.500
 God

00:21:09.500 --> 00:21:09.919
 dwelt

00:21:09.919 --> 00:21:10.519
 amongst

00:21:10.519 --> 00:21:11.000
 his people

00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:11.480
 in the

00:21:11.480 --> 00:21:12.079
 tabernacle.

00:21:12.259 --> 00:21:12.559
 What a

00:21:12.559 --> 00:21:13.019
 blessing.

00:21:13.839 --> 00:21:14.099
 But the

00:21:14.099 --> 00:21:14.920
 access to

00:21:14.920 --> 00:21:15.259
 him

00:21:15.259 --> 00:21:16.079
 was

00:21:16.079 --> 00:21:16.960
 extremely

00:21:16.960 --> 00:21:18.440
 limited.

00:21:19.759 --> 00:21:20.279
 The author

00:21:20.279 --> 00:21:20.619
 of Hebrews

00:21:20.619 --> 00:21:21.279
 writes in

00:21:21.279 --> 00:21:22.299
 verse 8,

00:21:23.299 --> 00:21:23.980
 by this

00:21:23.980 --> 00:21:24.700
 the Holy

00:21:24.700 --> 00:21:25.339
 Spirit

00:21:25.339 --> 00:21:26.480
 indicates,

00:21:26.660 --> 00:21:26.940
 and he's

00:21:26.940 --> 00:21:27.680
 referring to

00:21:27.680 --> 00:21:28.900
 the

00:21:28.900 --> 00:21:29.839
 inspired

00:21:29.839 --> 00:21:30.859
 instructions

00:21:30.859 --> 00:21:32.180
 for how

00:21:32.180 --> 00:21:32.900
 the tabernacle

00:21:32.900 --> 00:21:33.299
 was to be

00:21:33.299 --> 00:21:33.819
 arranged and

00:21:33.819 --> 00:21:34.119
 how the

00:21:34.119 --> 00:21:34.619
 tabernacle

00:21:34.619 --> 00:21:35.420
 worship was

00:21:35.420 --> 00:21:36.180
 to take

00:21:36.180 --> 00:21:36.660
 place.

00:21:36.819 --> 00:21:37.480
 By this

00:21:37.480 --> 00:21:38.400
 the Holy

00:21:38.400 --> 00:21:38.819
 Spirit

00:21:38.819 --> 00:21:39.759
 indicates

00:21:39.759 --> 00:21:41.099
 that the

00:21:41.099 --> 00:21:41.799
 way into

00:21:41.799 --> 00:21:42.099
 the

00:21:42.099 --> 00:21:42.440
 holy

00:21:42.440 --> 00:21:43.059
 places

00:21:43.059 --> 00:21:43.900
 is not

00:21:43.900 --> 00:21:44.259
 yet

00:21:44.259 --> 00:21:44.799
 opened

00:21:44.799 --> 00:21:46.200
 as long

00:21:46.200 --> 00:21:46.779
 as the

00:21:46.779 --> 00:21:47.240
 first

00:21:47.240 --> 00:21:47.799
 section

00:21:47.799 --> 00:21:49.059
 is still

00:21:49.059 --> 00:21:49.920
 standing.

00:21:50.759 --> 00:21:51.200
 Verse 9,

00:21:51.259 --> 00:21:51.500
 the first

00:21:51.500 --> 00:21:51.779
 part,

00:21:51.879 --> 00:21:52.119
 which is

00:21:52.119 --> 00:21:52.579
 symbolic

00:21:52.579 --> 00:21:53.740
 for the

00:21:53.740 --> 00:21:53.980
 present

00:21:53.980 --> 00:21:54.319
 age.

00:21:54.700 --> 00:21:54.900
 Now,

00:21:54.960 --> 00:21:55.359
 there is a

00:21:55.359 --> 00:21:55.779
 lot of

00:21:55.779 --> 00:21:56.339
 complication

00:21:56.339 --> 00:21:56.799
 about the

00:21:56.799 --> 00:21:57.220
 translation

00:21:57.220 --> 00:21:57.779
 of verse

00:21:57.779 --> 00:21:58.400
 8 and

00:21:58.400 --> 00:21:58.640
 9,

00:21:58.700 --> 00:21:58.940
 and I'm

00:21:58.940 --> 00:21:59.140
 going to

00:21:59.140 --> 00:21:59.879
 spare you

00:21:59.879 --> 00:22:00.460
 it this

00:22:00.460 --> 00:22:00.779
 morning.

00:22:01.819 --> 00:22:02.539
 I don't

00:22:02.539 --> 00:22:03.259
 think the

00:22:03.259 --> 00:22:03.640
 ESV

00:22:03.640 --> 00:22:04.160
 version that

00:22:04.160 --> 00:22:04.779
 I'm using,

00:22:04.900 --> 00:22:05.259
 ESV,

00:22:05.799 --> 00:22:06.279
 does it

00:22:06.279 --> 00:22:07.180
 the best

00:22:07.180 --> 00:22:07.920
 justice.

00:22:08.660 --> 00:22:09.240
 I think

00:22:09.240 --> 00:22:09.799
 more

00:22:09.799 --> 00:22:10.339
 accurately,

00:22:10.599 --> 00:22:10.920
 we would

00:22:10.920 --> 00:22:11.819
 say something

00:22:11.819 --> 00:22:12.140
 like,

00:22:12.200 --> 00:22:12.539
 by this

00:22:12.539 --> 00:22:12.960
 the Holy

00:22:12.960 --> 00:22:13.259
 Spirit

00:22:13.259 --> 00:22:14.039
 indicates

00:22:14.039 --> 00:22:15.019
 that the

00:22:15.019 --> 00:22:15.339
 way into

00:22:15.339 --> 00:22:15.620
 the holy

00:22:15.620 --> 00:22:16.039
 places

00:22:16.039 --> 00:22:16.799
 is not

00:22:16.799 --> 00:22:17.539
 opened as

00:22:17.539 --> 00:22:18.319
 long as

00:22:18.319 --> 00:22:18.579
 the

00:22:18.579 --> 00:22:19.460
 tabernacle

00:22:19.460 --> 00:22:20.579
 is still

00:22:20.579 --> 00:22:21.380
 standing.

00:22:22.359 --> 00:22:23.319
 Verse 9,

00:22:23.440 --> 00:22:24.000
 which is

00:22:24.000 --> 00:22:24.799
 symbolic

00:22:24.799 --> 00:22:26.140
 to that

00:22:26.140 --> 00:22:26.819
 age.

00:22:27.880 --> 00:22:28.460
 What he's

00:22:28.460 --> 00:22:29.019
 trying to

00:22:29.019 --> 00:22:29.539
 communicate

00:22:29.539 --> 00:22:30.759
 is that the

00:22:30.759 --> 00:22:31.319
 Spirit in

00:22:31.319 --> 00:22:31.960
 all of that

00:22:31.960 --> 00:22:32.579
 temple worship,

00:22:32.759 --> 00:22:33.039
 as I've

00:22:33.039 --> 00:22:33.599
 already mentioned,

00:22:33.680 --> 00:22:34.099
 was pointing

00:22:34.099 --> 00:22:34.700
 to something

00:22:34.700 --> 00:22:35.799
 greater that

00:22:35.799 --> 00:22:36.799
 is realized

00:22:36.799 --> 00:22:38.220
 in Christ.

00:22:38.899 --> 00:22:39.460
 And contextually

00:22:39.460 --> 00:22:39.980
 that makes a lot

00:22:39.980 --> 00:22:40.259
 of sense,

00:22:40.319 --> 00:22:40.599
 because that's

00:22:40.599 --> 00:22:41.220
 exactly where

00:22:41.220 --> 00:22:41.559
 the author

00:22:41.559 --> 00:22:41.980
 of Hebrew

00:22:41.980 --> 00:22:43.839
 goes next.

00:22:44.539 --> 00:22:44.779
 So,

00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:45.480
 the author

00:22:45.480 --> 00:22:45.879
 of Hebrews

00:22:45.879 --> 00:22:46.379
 tells us

00:22:46.379 --> 00:22:46.599
 that the

00:22:46.599 --> 00:22:47.099
 Holy Spirit,

00:22:47.220 --> 00:22:48.240
 the inspirer

00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:48.940
 of the divine

00:22:48.940 --> 00:22:49.379
 instruction,

00:22:49.579 --> 00:22:50.819
 did so to

00:22:50.819 --> 00:22:51.519
 teach us

00:22:51.519 --> 00:22:52.159
 that the

00:22:52.159 --> 00:22:52.759
 old covenant

00:22:52.759 --> 00:22:54.119
 was inadequate.

00:22:55.720 --> 00:22:56.460
 They and

00:22:56.460 --> 00:22:57.159
 we could

00:22:57.159 --> 00:22:58.299
 not gain

00:22:58.299 --> 00:22:59.099
 access to

00:22:59.099 --> 00:23:00.779
 God by

00:23:00.779 --> 00:23:01.079
 it.

00:23:01.419 --> 00:23:01.680
 Right?

00:23:01.940 --> 00:23:02.680
 Could not

00:23:02.680 --> 00:23:03.680
 gain access

00:23:03.680 --> 00:23:04.640
 by it.

00:23:04.680 --> 00:23:04.860
 There was

00:23:04.860 --> 00:23:05.400
 limited

00:23:05.400 --> 00:23:06.600
 access.

00:23:07.700 --> 00:23:08.120
 Secondly,

00:23:08.580 --> 00:23:09.120
 the old

00:23:09.120 --> 00:23:09.380
 covenant

00:23:09.380 --> 00:23:09.940
 was inadequate

00:23:09.940 --> 00:23:11.320
 because of

00:23:11.320 --> 00:23:12.080
 its limited

00:23:12.080 --> 00:23:13.440
 efficacy.

00:23:14.600 --> 00:23:15.000
 What it

00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:15.960
 could accomplish

00:23:15.960 --> 00:23:17.759
 was limited.

00:23:18.920 --> 00:23:19.700
 Last half

00:23:19.700 --> 00:23:20.320
 of verse

00:23:20.320 --> 00:23:20.840
 9

00:23:20.840 --> 00:23:21.960
 and through

00:23:21.960 --> 00:23:22.340
 10.

00:23:23.100 --> 00:23:23.600
 According to

00:23:23.600 --> 00:23:24.360
 this arrangement,

00:23:25.460 --> 00:23:26.340
 this working

00:23:26.340 --> 00:23:26.940
 of the high

00:23:26.940 --> 00:23:27.440
 priest on

00:23:27.440 --> 00:23:27.740
 the day of

00:23:27.740 --> 00:23:28.120
 atonement,

00:23:28.740 --> 00:23:29.140
 gifts and

00:23:29.140 --> 00:23:29.840
 sacrifices are

00:23:29.840 --> 00:23:30.680
 offered that

00:23:30.680 --> 00:23:31.299
 cannot

00:23:31.299 --> 00:23:33.460
 perfect the

00:23:33.460 --> 00:23:34.039
 conscience

00:23:34.039 --> 00:23:35.279
 of the

00:23:35.279 --> 00:23:35.740
 worshiper,

00:23:36.240 --> 00:23:37.039
 but deal

00:23:37.039 --> 00:23:37.519
 only with

00:23:37.519 --> 00:23:37.940
 food and

00:23:37.940 --> 00:23:38.360
 drink and

00:23:38.360 --> 00:23:39.279
 various washings,

00:23:39.360 --> 00:23:40.440
 regulations for

00:23:40.440 --> 00:23:41.059
 the body

00:23:41.059 --> 00:23:42.600
 imposed until

00:23:42.600 --> 00:23:43.259
 the time

00:23:43.259 --> 00:23:44.440
 of

00:23:44.440 --> 00:23:45.120
 reformation.

00:23:45.559 --> 00:23:46.259
 It had a

00:23:46.259 --> 00:23:46.620
 limited

00:23:46.620 --> 00:23:47.680
 efficacy.

00:23:48.140 --> 00:23:48.460
 It could

00:23:48.460 --> 00:23:49.680
 clean up

00:23:49.680 --> 00:23:50.299
 on the

00:23:50.299 --> 00:23:50.900
 outside,

00:23:51.819 --> 00:23:53.220
 but not

00:23:53.220 --> 00:23:54.779
 on the

00:23:54.779 --> 00:23:55.299
 inside.

00:23:56.100 --> 00:23:56.779
 This outward

00:23:56.779 --> 00:23:57.240
 cleansing,

00:23:57.460 --> 00:23:58.000
 but not

00:23:58.000 --> 00:23:59.039
 an inward

00:23:59.039 --> 00:24:00.200
 one.

00:24:01.299 --> 00:24:01.900
 Just a bit

00:24:01.900 --> 00:24:02.240
 ago,

00:24:02.240 --> 00:24:03.539
 Daryl read

00:24:03.539 --> 00:24:04.000
 for us

00:24:04.000 --> 00:24:04.779
 from Psalm

00:24:04.779 --> 00:24:05.839
 51.

00:24:06.420 --> 00:24:06.740
 Turn with

00:24:06.740 --> 00:24:07.039
 me if you

00:24:07.039 --> 00:24:07.519
 will to

00:24:07.519 --> 00:24:09.180
 Psalm 51.

00:24:11.980 --> 00:24:12.940
 I selected

00:24:12.940 --> 00:24:13.579
 Psalm 51

00:24:13.579 --> 00:24:14.059
 to be read

00:24:14.059 --> 00:24:14.559
 this morning,

00:24:14.980 --> 00:24:16.799
 and until

00:24:16.799 --> 00:24:17.420
 he read it

00:24:17.420 --> 00:24:17.759
 and I

00:24:17.759 --> 00:24:18.160
 listened to

00:24:18.160 --> 00:24:18.559
 him reading

00:24:18.559 --> 00:24:18.799
 it,

00:24:18.980 --> 00:24:19.440
 I did

00:24:19.440 --> 00:24:19.819
 not make

00:24:19.819 --> 00:24:19.980
 the

00:24:19.980 --> 00:24:20.319
 connection

00:24:20.319 --> 00:24:21.079
 to this

00:24:21.079 --> 00:24:21.460
 text.

00:24:23.960 --> 00:24:24.400
 How's

00:24:24.400 --> 00:24:24.700
 that for

00:24:24.700 --> 00:24:25.140
 providence?

00:24:28.079 --> 00:24:28.359
 Remember

00:24:28.359 --> 00:24:28.660
 that Psalm

00:24:28.660 --> 00:24:29.279
 51 is

00:24:29.279 --> 00:24:29.579
 written

00:24:29.579 --> 00:24:31.079
 after David

00:24:31.079 --> 00:24:32.119
 has committed

00:24:32.119 --> 00:24:32.699
 egregious

00:24:32.699 --> 00:24:32.980
 sin.

00:24:33.059 --> 00:24:33.379
 He's been

00:24:33.379 --> 00:24:33.799
 a murderer

00:24:33.799 --> 00:24:34.240
 and an

00:24:34.240 --> 00:24:35.220
 adulterer.

00:24:35.759 --> 00:24:36.259
 And this

00:24:36.259 --> 00:24:36.579
 is him

00:24:36.579 --> 00:24:37.759
 crying out

00:24:37.759 --> 00:24:38.240
 to God

00:24:38.240 --> 00:24:38.579
 that God

00:24:38.579 --> 00:24:39.299
 would forgive

00:24:39.299 --> 00:24:40.559
 him for

00:24:40.559 --> 00:24:40.899
 this.

00:24:41.059 --> 00:24:41.579
 Verse 1

00:24:41.579 --> 00:24:42.079
 and 2,

00:24:42.919 --> 00:24:43.599
 Have mercy

00:24:43.599 --> 00:24:44.000
 on me,

00:24:44.039 --> 00:24:44.339
 O God,

00:24:44.439 --> 00:24:45.259
 according to

00:24:45.259 --> 00:24:46.199
 your steadfast

00:24:46.199 --> 00:24:46.599
 love,

00:24:46.899 --> 00:24:47.379
 according to

00:24:47.379 --> 00:24:48.259
 your abundant

00:24:48.259 --> 00:24:48.659
 mercy,

00:24:48.779 --> 00:24:49.519
 blot out my

00:24:49.519 --> 00:24:50.439
 transgressions.

00:24:51.019 --> 00:24:51.579
 Wash me

00:24:51.579 --> 00:24:52.159
 thoroughly

00:24:52.159 --> 00:24:52.639
 from my

00:24:52.639 --> 00:24:53.319
 iniquity and

00:24:53.319 --> 00:24:54.059
 cleanse me

00:24:54.059 --> 00:24:55.960
 from my

00:24:55.960 --> 00:24:56.419
 sin.

00:24:57.419 --> 00:24:58.259
 Crying out

00:24:58.259 --> 00:24:58.680
 to God,

00:24:58.740 --> 00:24:59.200
 because of

00:24:59.200 --> 00:24:59.680
 who you

00:24:59.680 --> 00:25:00.119
 are,

00:25:00.240 --> 00:25:00.799
 O God,

00:25:01.900 --> 00:25:02.519
 cleanse me,

00:25:03.200 --> 00:25:03.579
 make me

00:25:03.579 --> 00:25:05.220
 pure within.

00:25:05.700 --> 00:25:06.099
 He asked

00:25:06.099 --> 00:25:06.379
 him to,

00:25:06.720 --> 00:25:07.160
 verse 10,

00:25:07.279 --> 00:25:07.660
 create in

00:25:07.660 --> 00:25:07.960
 me a

00:25:07.960 --> 00:25:08.720
 clean heart,

00:25:08.839 --> 00:25:09.279
 O God,

00:25:09.460 --> 00:25:10.039
 and renew

00:25:10.039 --> 00:25:10.559
 a right

00:25:10.559 --> 00:25:12.180
 spirit within

00:25:12.180 --> 00:25:12.420
 me.

00:25:12.460 --> 00:25:12.859
 Verse 11,

00:25:12.940 --> 00:25:13.519
 don't cast

00:25:13.519 --> 00:25:14.160
 me away

00:25:14.160 --> 00:25:15.379
 from your

00:25:15.379 --> 00:25:16.299
 presence.

00:25:17.220 --> 00:25:17.599
 And then

00:25:17.599 --> 00:25:18.039
 in verse

00:25:18.039 --> 00:25:19.720
 16 and

00:25:19.720 --> 00:25:20.220
 17,

00:25:21.400 --> 00:25:21.920
 he says,

00:25:22.019 --> 00:25:22.319
 for you

00:25:22.319 --> 00:25:23.099
 will not

00:25:23.099 --> 00:25:24.299
 delight in

00:25:24.299 --> 00:25:24.879
 sacrifice,

00:25:25.160 --> 00:25:25.579
 or I

00:25:25.579 --> 00:25:26.000
 would give

00:25:26.000 --> 00:25:26.220
 it.

00:25:26.819 --> 00:25:27.019
 You

00:25:27.019 --> 00:25:27.359
 would not

00:25:27.359 --> 00:25:27.920
 be pleased

00:25:27.920 --> 00:25:28.220
 with a

00:25:28.220 --> 00:25:28.440
 burnt

00:25:28.440 --> 00:25:29.000
 offering.

00:25:29.740 --> 00:25:30.080
 For the

00:25:30.080 --> 00:25:30.660
 sacrifices

00:25:30.660 --> 00:25:31.140
 of God

00:25:31.140 --> 00:25:31.480
 are a

00:25:31.480 --> 00:25:31.800
 broken

00:25:31.800 --> 00:25:32.360
 spirit,

00:25:32.480 --> 00:25:33.100
 a broken

00:25:33.100 --> 00:25:33.480
 and

00:25:33.480 --> 00:25:34.060
 contrite

00:25:34.060 --> 00:25:34.440
 heart,

00:25:34.620 --> 00:25:35.200
 O God,

00:25:35.980 --> 00:25:36.440
 you will

00:25:36.440 --> 00:25:36.860
 not

00:25:36.860 --> 00:25:38.140
 despise.

00:25:39.340 --> 00:25:39.940
 Recognize

00:25:39.940 --> 00:25:40.500
 that David

00:25:40.500 --> 00:25:41.060
 saw the

00:25:41.060 --> 00:25:41.880
 inadequacy

00:25:41.880 --> 00:25:42.480
 of the

00:25:42.480 --> 00:25:42.920
 sacrifice.

00:25:44.140 --> 00:25:44.539
 He saw

00:25:44.539 --> 00:25:44.880
 that it

00:25:44.880 --> 00:25:45.279
 really

00:25:45.279 --> 00:25:45.860
 didn't

00:25:45.860 --> 00:25:46.400
 accomplish

00:25:46.400 --> 00:25:47.080
 for him

00:25:47.080 --> 00:25:47.500
 what he

00:25:47.500 --> 00:25:48.180
 desperately

00:25:48.180 --> 00:25:48.580
 needed,

00:25:48.660 --> 00:25:48.860
 which was

00:25:48.860 --> 00:25:49.560
 an inward

00:25:49.560 --> 00:25:51.080
 cleansing.

00:25:52.380 --> 00:25:52.640
 And so

00:25:52.640 --> 00:25:53.100
 we believe

00:25:53.100 --> 00:25:53.759
 that David

00:25:53.759 --> 00:25:54.660
 saved,

00:25:54.800 --> 00:25:55.519
 was God's,

00:25:55.620 --> 00:25:56.140
 is with

00:25:56.140 --> 00:25:56.900
 God now

00:25:56.900 --> 00:25:57.120
 in his

00:25:57.120 --> 00:25:57.500
 presence,

00:25:57.620 --> 00:25:57.840
 has

00:25:57.840 --> 00:25:58.420
 unlimited

00:25:58.420 --> 00:25:59.560
 access,

00:26:00.500 --> 00:26:01.259
 did so

00:26:01.259 --> 00:26:02.580
 believing

00:26:02.580 --> 00:26:03.160
 there would

00:26:03.160 --> 00:26:03.860
 be a

00:26:03.860 --> 00:26:05.200
 way that

00:26:05.200 --> 00:26:05.880
 this old

00:26:05.880 --> 00:26:06.340
 system,

00:26:06.460 --> 00:26:07.040
 this old

00:26:07.040 --> 00:26:07.400
 covenant,

00:26:07.519 --> 00:26:08.200
 was pointing

00:26:08.200 --> 00:26:09.360
 towards

00:26:09.360 --> 00:26:09.860
 something

00:26:09.860 --> 00:26:10.880
 greater,

00:26:11.360 --> 00:26:11.880
 a way that

00:26:11.880 --> 00:26:12.360
 he could

00:26:12.360 --> 00:26:12.860
 in fact

00:26:12.860 --> 00:26:14.200
 be restored

00:26:14.200 --> 00:26:15.540
 to God.

00:26:16.720 --> 00:26:17.300
 So the

00:26:17.300 --> 00:26:17.800
 old covenant

00:26:17.800 --> 00:26:19.400
 was inadequate,

00:26:19.900 --> 00:26:20.740
 limited access,

00:26:21.480 --> 00:26:21.960
 and limited

00:26:21.960 --> 00:26:23.200
 efficacy.

00:26:23.200 --> 00:26:23.340
 efficacy.

00:26:24.539 --> 00:26:25.519
 I'm aware

00:26:25.519 --> 00:26:27.279
 that it

00:26:27.279 --> 00:26:28.120
 is most

00:26:28.120 --> 00:26:28.539
 probable

00:26:28.539 --> 00:26:28.920
 that there

00:26:28.920 --> 00:26:29.319
 was no

00:26:29.319 --> 00:26:29.920
 one here

00:26:29.920 --> 00:26:31.299
 listening to

00:26:31.299 --> 00:26:31.660
 me say

00:26:31.660 --> 00:26:32.220
 anything about

00:26:32.220 --> 00:26:32.519
 the old

00:26:32.519 --> 00:26:32.840
 covenant

00:26:32.840 --> 00:26:33.319
 that is

00:26:33.319 --> 00:26:33.920
 still a

00:26:33.920 --> 00:26:34.460
 keeper of

00:26:34.460 --> 00:26:34.779
 the old

00:26:34.779 --> 00:26:35.140
 covenant,

00:26:35.860 --> 00:26:36.660
 trying to

00:26:36.660 --> 00:26:37.460
 gain acceptance

00:26:37.460 --> 00:26:38.819
 with God

00:26:38.819 --> 00:26:39.860
 by keeping

00:26:39.860 --> 00:26:40.720
 the old

00:26:40.720 --> 00:26:41.420
 covenant.

00:26:41.920 --> 00:26:42.500
 I don't

00:26:42.500 --> 00:26:42.759
 know where

00:26:42.759 --> 00:26:43.039
 you'd go

00:26:43.039 --> 00:26:43.360
 make the

00:26:43.360 --> 00:26:43.860
 sacrifices.

00:26:43.980 --> 00:26:44.180
 The day

00:26:44.180 --> 00:26:44.600
 of atonement

00:26:44.600 --> 00:26:44.900
 doesn't

00:26:44.900 --> 00:26:45.840
 happen any

00:26:45.840 --> 00:26:46.640
 longer.

00:26:47.140 --> 00:26:47.620
 Anyway,

00:26:48.299 --> 00:26:48.940
 I know this

00:26:48.940 --> 00:26:49.559
 is not what

00:26:49.559 --> 00:26:50.279
 you're trying

00:26:50.279 --> 00:26:50.879
 to do,

00:26:51.379 --> 00:26:52.019
 but many

00:26:52.019 --> 00:26:52.519
 of us,

00:26:52.619 --> 00:26:53.240
 so many

00:26:53.240 --> 00:26:53.740
 of us,

00:26:54.039 --> 00:26:54.660
 try to

00:26:54.660 --> 00:26:55.480
 earn God's

00:26:55.480 --> 00:26:56.079
 favor in

00:26:56.079 --> 00:26:57.259
 our works.

00:26:58.660 --> 00:26:59.440
 Whether we

00:26:59.440 --> 00:26:59.879
 have been

00:26:59.879 --> 00:27:00.619
 delivered by

00:27:00.619 --> 00:27:01.480
 Christ already,

00:27:01.639 --> 00:27:02.180
 found in

00:27:02.180 --> 00:27:02.519
 Him,

00:27:02.720 --> 00:27:03.220
 we often

00:27:03.220 --> 00:27:03.779
 go back

00:27:03.779 --> 00:27:04.059
 to that

00:27:04.059 --> 00:27:04.700
 old self,

00:27:04.799 --> 00:27:05.240
 that old

00:27:05.240 --> 00:27:05.720
 tendency

00:27:05.720 --> 00:27:06.480
 that God

00:27:06.480 --> 00:27:06.960
 would accept

00:27:06.960 --> 00:27:08.019
 us because

00:27:08.019 --> 00:27:08.680
 of now

00:27:08.680 --> 00:27:09.519
 our working,

00:27:10.420 --> 00:27:11.460
 which He

00:27:11.460 --> 00:27:12.240
 never does,

00:27:12.519 --> 00:27:12.859
 which He's

00:27:12.859 --> 00:27:13.639
 never pleased

00:27:13.639 --> 00:27:14.019
 with.

00:27:14.819 --> 00:27:15.660
 It's because

00:27:15.660 --> 00:27:16.859
 of Christ's

00:27:16.859 --> 00:27:18.059
 working that

00:27:18.059 --> 00:27:18.559
 we're accepted.

00:27:18.559 --> 00:27:20.659
 it's because

00:27:20.659 --> 00:27:20.940
 of who

00:27:20.940 --> 00:27:21.700
 Jesus is

00:27:21.700 --> 00:27:21.980
 and what

00:27:21.980 --> 00:27:22.319
 Jesus

00:27:22.319 --> 00:27:22.839
 accomplished,

00:27:23.200 --> 00:27:23.579
 and because

00:27:23.579 --> 00:27:24.159
 by placing

00:27:24.159 --> 00:27:24.559
 our faith

00:27:24.559 --> 00:27:24.759
 in Him,

00:27:24.819 --> 00:27:25.039
 we are

00:27:25.039 --> 00:27:25.960
 found in

00:27:25.960 --> 00:27:27.500
 Him that

00:27:27.500 --> 00:27:27.720
 we are

00:27:27.720 --> 00:27:28.079
 accepted.

00:27:29.519 --> 00:27:29.899
 So let's

00:27:29.899 --> 00:27:30.279
 look at the

00:27:30.279 --> 00:27:31.799
 adequacy of

00:27:31.799 --> 00:27:32.279
 the new

00:27:32.279 --> 00:27:33.000
 covenant.

00:27:33.879 --> 00:27:35.039
 The adequacy

00:27:35.039 --> 00:27:35.940
 of the new

00:27:35.940 --> 00:27:36.519
 covenant.

00:27:37.099 --> 00:27:37.759
 First,

00:27:38.539 --> 00:27:39.339
 in the new

00:27:39.339 --> 00:27:39.659
 covenant,

00:27:39.940 --> 00:27:40.460
 we have

00:27:40.460 --> 00:27:42.119
 unlimited

00:27:42.119 --> 00:27:43.519
 access.

00:27:44.559 --> 00:27:44.899
 We have

00:27:44.899 --> 00:27:46.619
 unlimited

00:27:46.619 --> 00:27:47.720
 access.

00:27:47.720 --> 00:27:47.920
 this.

00:27:47.920 --> 00:27:48.680
 We no

00:27:48.680 --> 00:27:49.400
 longer have

00:27:49.400 --> 00:27:50.180
 need for

00:27:50.180 --> 00:27:50.620
 priests.

00:27:51.360 --> 00:27:52.100
 We no

00:27:52.100 --> 00:27:52.759
 longer have

00:27:52.759 --> 00:27:53.440
 need for

00:27:53.440 --> 00:27:54.240
 sacrifice

00:27:54.240 --> 00:27:55.620
 because

00:27:55.620 --> 00:27:57.140
 Christ has

00:27:57.140 --> 00:27:57.900
 accomplished

00:27:57.900 --> 00:27:58.920
 this.

00:27:59.700 --> 00:28:00.259
 He has

00:28:00.259 --> 00:28:01.059
 fulfilled

00:28:01.059 --> 00:28:02.160
 all that

00:28:02.160 --> 00:28:02.460
 the old

00:28:02.460 --> 00:28:02.759
 covenant

00:28:02.759 --> 00:28:03.380
 required,

00:28:03.660 --> 00:28:04.319
 and He

00:28:04.319 --> 00:28:05.059
 is our

00:28:05.059 --> 00:28:05.600
 great

00:28:05.600 --> 00:28:06.720
 high priest.

00:28:06.839 --> 00:28:07.059
 If you've

00:28:07.059 --> 00:28:07.420
 been with

00:28:07.420 --> 00:28:07.559
 us,

00:28:07.600 --> 00:28:07.960
 you know

00:28:07.960 --> 00:28:08.160
 we've

00:28:08.160 --> 00:28:08.640
 been talking

00:28:08.640 --> 00:28:09.200
 about His

00:28:09.200 --> 00:28:10.100
 Melchizedekian

00:28:10.100 --> 00:28:10.900
 priesthood,

00:28:11.039 --> 00:28:11.440
 that He

00:28:11.440 --> 00:28:12.420
 lives forever

00:28:12.420 --> 00:28:12.759
 making

00:28:12.759 --> 00:28:13.440
 intercession

00:28:13.440 --> 00:28:14.839
 for us.

00:28:14.839 --> 00:28:16.539
 verse 25

00:28:16.539 --> 00:28:17.439
 of chapter

00:28:17.439 --> 00:28:17.919
 7.

00:28:19.599 --> 00:28:20.500
 We no

00:28:20.500 --> 00:28:21.359
 longer need

00:28:21.359 --> 00:28:22.019
 these things.

00:28:22.119 --> 00:28:22.599
 You don't

00:28:22.599 --> 00:28:23.179
 come to

00:28:23.179 --> 00:28:23.939
 God through

00:28:23.939 --> 00:28:24.740
 me,

00:28:25.019 --> 00:28:25.619
 praise God.

00:28:26.699 --> 00:28:27.179
 You don't

00:28:27.179 --> 00:28:27.899
 come to

00:28:27.899 --> 00:28:28.399
 God through

00:28:28.399 --> 00:28:29.259
 an Aaronic

00:28:29.259 --> 00:28:29.859
 priest.

00:28:30.480 --> 00:28:30.959
 You come

00:28:30.959 --> 00:28:31.399
 to God

00:28:31.399 --> 00:28:32.000
 through

00:28:32.000 --> 00:28:33.379
 Christ.

00:28:34.059 --> 00:28:34.480
 And in

00:28:34.480 --> 00:28:34.919
 Christ,

00:28:35.119 --> 00:28:35.720
 we have

00:28:35.720 --> 00:28:37.659
 unlimited

00:28:37.659 --> 00:28:39.419
 access.

00:28:41.039 --> 00:28:41.619
 Verse 11,

00:28:41.879 --> 00:28:42.399
 praise God,

00:28:42.400 --> 00:28:43.019
 starts with

00:28:43.019 --> 00:28:43.320
 the most

00:28:43.320 --> 00:28:43.980
 precious

00:28:43.980 --> 00:28:44.680
 conjunction,

00:28:45.440 --> 00:28:45.640
 but.

00:28:47.300 --> 00:28:48.160
 This was

00:28:48.160 --> 00:28:48.620
 the old

00:28:48.620 --> 00:28:48.960
 covenant.

00:28:49.180 --> 00:28:49.420
 This was

00:28:49.420 --> 00:28:49.840
 all of

00:28:49.840 --> 00:28:50.519
 its inadequacy.

00:28:50.620 --> 00:28:50.759
 The author

00:28:50.759 --> 00:28:50.980
 of Hebrews

00:28:50.980 --> 00:28:51.420
 is saying,

00:28:52.040 --> 00:28:53.340
 but when

00:28:53.340 --> 00:28:54.200
 Christ

00:28:54.200 --> 00:28:55.019
 appeared

00:28:55.019 --> 00:28:56.100
 as a

00:28:56.100 --> 00:28:56.880
 high priest

00:28:56.880 --> 00:28:57.400
 of the

00:28:57.400 --> 00:28:58.200
 good things

00:28:58.200 --> 00:28:58.580
 that have

00:28:58.580 --> 00:28:59.019
 come,

00:28:59.900 --> 00:29:00.380
 then through

00:29:00.380 --> 00:29:00.940
 the greater

00:29:00.940 --> 00:29:01.640
 and more

00:29:01.640 --> 00:29:02.259
 perfect

00:29:02.259 --> 00:29:02.820
 tent,

00:29:02.960 --> 00:29:03.280
 not made

00:29:03.280 --> 00:29:03.700
 with hands,

00:29:03.759 --> 00:29:04.019
 that is,

00:29:04.080 --> 00:29:04.600
 not of

00:29:04.600 --> 00:29:05.540
 this creation,

00:29:05.660 --> 00:29:05.900
 and again,

00:29:05.920 --> 00:29:06.380
 I'll spare you

00:29:06.380 --> 00:29:06.740
 the long

00:29:06.740 --> 00:29:07.200
 explanation,

00:29:07.340 --> 00:29:07.519
 but He's

00:29:07.519 --> 00:29:07.900
 talking about

00:29:07.900 --> 00:29:08.220
 His own

00:29:08.220 --> 00:29:08.700
 flesh,

00:29:09.440 --> 00:29:09.680
 Jesus'

00:29:09.900 --> 00:29:10.240
 flesh.

00:29:11.040 --> 00:29:11.660
 He entered

00:29:11.660 --> 00:29:12.220
 once for

00:29:12.220 --> 00:29:12.779
 all into

00:29:12.779 --> 00:29:13.160
 the holy

00:29:13.160 --> 00:29:13.680
 places,

00:29:14.100 --> 00:29:14.779
 not by

00:29:14.779 --> 00:29:15.420
 means of

00:29:15.420 --> 00:29:15.779
 the blood

00:29:15.779 --> 00:29:16.420
 of goats

00:29:16.420 --> 00:29:17.180
 and calves,

00:29:17.259 --> 00:29:17.519
 but by

00:29:17.519 --> 00:29:17.980
 means of

00:29:17.980 --> 00:29:18.420
 His own

00:29:18.420 --> 00:29:18.840
 blood,

00:29:19.320 --> 00:29:20.519
 thus securing

00:29:20.519 --> 00:29:22.040
 an eternal

00:29:22.040 --> 00:29:23.600
 redemption.

00:29:24.720 --> 00:29:25.420
 Every year,

00:29:25.540 --> 00:29:26.100
 the high priest

00:29:26.100 --> 00:29:26.500
 entered the

00:29:26.500 --> 00:29:27.060
 Holy of Holies

00:29:27.060 --> 00:29:27.620
 for one

00:29:27.620 --> 00:29:27.900
 day,

00:29:28.160 --> 00:29:28.820
 and every

00:29:28.820 --> 00:29:29.100
 year,

00:29:29.200 --> 00:29:29.480
 he did

00:29:29.480 --> 00:29:30.360
 so by

00:29:30.360 --> 00:29:30.660
 the blood

00:29:30.660 --> 00:29:31.180
 of goats

00:29:31.180 --> 00:29:32.240
 and calves,

00:29:32.440 --> 00:29:32.620
 right?

00:29:32.680 --> 00:29:33.019
 He went

00:29:33.019 --> 00:29:33.460
 through all

00:29:33.460 --> 00:29:33.759
 of that

00:29:33.759 --> 00:29:34.440
 process to

00:29:34.440 --> 00:29:35.000
 make himself

00:29:35.000 --> 00:29:36.200
 ceremonially

00:29:36.200 --> 00:29:37.080
 pure so

00:29:37.080 --> 00:29:37.259
 that he

00:29:37.259 --> 00:29:37.700
 could enter

00:29:37.700 --> 00:29:38.100
 into the

00:29:38.100 --> 00:29:38.980
 presence of

00:29:38.980 --> 00:29:39.240
 God,

00:29:39.320 --> 00:29:39.500
 right?

00:29:39.600 --> 00:29:40.040
 He went

00:29:40.040 --> 00:29:40.380
 through this

00:29:40.380 --> 00:29:41.100
 process of

00:29:41.099 --> 00:29:41.799
 these inadequate

00:29:41.799 --> 00:29:42.679
 sacrifices,

00:29:42.679 --> 00:29:44.099
 but now we

00:29:44.099 --> 00:29:44.959
 have unlimited

00:29:44.959 --> 00:29:45.779
 access because

00:29:45.779 --> 00:29:47.039
 Jesus Christ

00:29:47.039 --> 00:29:47.919
 offered up

00:29:47.919 --> 00:29:48.919
 himself.

00:29:50.059 --> 00:29:51.219
 He is

00:29:51.219 --> 00:29:52.559
 the adequate

00:29:52.559 --> 00:29:54.119
 sacrifice,

00:29:54.459 --> 00:29:54.639
 right?

00:29:54.859 --> 00:29:56.659
 He makes

00:29:56.659 --> 00:29:58.039
 atonement,

00:29:58.219 --> 00:29:58.359
 right?

00:29:58.740 --> 00:29:59.759
 Satisfies the

00:29:59.759 --> 00:30:01.219
 wrath of God

00:30:01.219 --> 00:30:02.279
 in our

00:30:02.279 --> 00:30:04.099
 place.

00:30:05.879 --> 00:30:06.259
 Beloved,

00:30:06.339 --> 00:30:07.039
 you must

00:30:07.039 --> 00:30:07.919
 understand

00:30:07.920 --> 00:30:07.960
 sin.

00:30:09.180 --> 00:30:09.700
 Whether you

00:30:09.700 --> 00:30:10.539
 feel the

00:30:10.539 --> 00:30:11.000
 weight of

00:30:11.000 --> 00:30:11.519
 your sin

00:30:11.519 --> 00:30:12.100
 or not,

00:30:12.200 --> 00:30:12.779
 it has

00:30:12.779 --> 00:30:13.860
 an eternal

00:30:13.860 --> 00:30:15.700
 weight because

00:30:15.700 --> 00:30:16.580
 it is against

00:30:16.580 --> 00:30:17.279
 the holiness

00:30:17.279 --> 00:30:18.120
 of an

00:30:18.120 --> 00:30:18.800
 eternal

00:30:18.800 --> 00:30:20.160
 God.

00:30:20.980 --> 00:30:21.860
 It flies

00:30:21.860 --> 00:30:22.720
 in his

00:30:22.720 --> 00:30:23.800
 face.

00:30:25.019 --> 00:30:25.240
 And the

00:30:25.240 --> 00:30:25.700
 guilt and

00:30:25.700 --> 00:30:26.140
 the shame

00:30:26.140 --> 00:30:26.380
 that you

00:30:26.380 --> 00:30:26.880
 feel for

00:30:26.880 --> 00:30:27.380
 the things

00:30:27.380 --> 00:30:27.960
 that you

00:30:27.960 --> 00:30:28.720
 do is

00:30:28.720 --> 00:30:29.400
 only a

00:30:29.400 --> 00:30:29.800
 tiny

00:30:29.800 --> 00:30:31.519
 measure of

00:30:31.519 --> 00:30:32.300
 the wrath

00:30:32.300 --> 00:30:33.100
 that is due

00:30:33.100 --> 00:30:33.960
 your sin.

00:30:33.960 --> 00:30:34.519
 It is an

00:30:34.519 --> 00:30:35.180
 eternal

00:30:35.180 --> 00:30:37.259
 wrath because

00:30:37.259 --> 00:30:37.500
 you have

00:30:37.500 --> 00:30:37.839
 rejected

00:30:37.839 --> 00:30:38.240
 his

00:30:38.240 --> 00:30:38.759
 good

00:30:38.759 --> 00:30:39.759
 order.

00:30:41.200 --> 00:30:41.960
 And God,

00:30:42.079 --> 00:30:42.579
 because he

00:30:42.579 --> 00:30:43.599
 is just

00:30:43.599 --> 00:30:43.980
 and he

00:30:43.980 --> 00:30:44.759
 is always

00:30:44.759 --> 00:30:45.680
 all that

00:30:45.680 --> 00:30:46.220
 he is,

00:30:47.039 --> 00:30:47.779
 he doesn't

00:30:47.779 --> 00:30:48.740
 lay aside

00:30:48.740 --> 00:30:49.480
 his justice.

00:30:50.220 --> 00:30:50.940
 He doesn't

00:30:50.940 --> 00:30:51.920
 overlook

00:30:51.920 --> 00:30:53.240
 your sin.

00:30:54.000 --> 00:30:54.680
 If you're

00:30:54.680 --> 00:30:55.619
 in Christ,

00:30:56.180 --> 00:30:57.059
 he punished

00:30:57.059 --> 00:30:57.680
 your sin

00:30:57.680 --> 00:30:58.539
 on the

00:30:58.539 --> 00:30:58.960
 cross.

00:30:59.740 --> 00:31:00.480
 If you're

00:31:00.480 --> 00:31:00.960
 not in

00:31:00.960 --> 00:31:01.359
 Christ,

00:31:01.440 --> 00:31:01.680
 he will

00:31:01.680 --> 00:31:02.079
 punish

00:31:02.079 --> 00:31:02.980
 your sin

00:31:02.980 --> 00:31:04.220
 in you

00:31:04.220 --> 00:31:04.819
 forever.

00:31:04.819 --> 00:31:06.379
 But if

00:31:06.379 --> 00:31:06.859
 you are

00:31:06.859 --> 00:31:07.419
 in Christ,

00:31:07.539 --> 00:31:08.119
 he poured

00:31:08.119 --> 00:31:09.179
 out his

00:31:09.179 --> 00:31:10.240
 wrath

00:31:10.240 --> 00:31:11.919
 in Christ.

00:31:13.079 --> 00:31:13.259
 You

00:31:13.259 --> 00:31:13.899
 recall Jesus

00:31:13.899 --> 00:31:14.179
 in the

00:31:14.179 --> 00:31:14.460
 Garden of

00:31:14.460 --> 00:31:14.899
 Gethsemane

00:31:14.899 --> 00:31:15.339
 praying,

00:31:15.759 --> 00:31:15.980
 if there's

00:31:15.980 --> 00:31:16.740
 any way

00:31:16.740 --> 00:31:17.919
 that this

00:31:17.919 --> 00:31:18.779
 cup might

00:31:18.779 --> 00:31:19.519
 pass for

00:31:19.519 --> 00:31:19.879
 me,

00:31:20.339 --> 00:31:20.859
 he's picking

00:31:20.859 --> 00:31:21.439
 up Old

00:31:21.439 --> 00:31:21.799
 Testament

00:31:21.799 --> 00:31:22.519
 imagery of

00:31:22.519 --> 00:31:23.059
 the cup

00:31:23.059 --> 00:31:23.980
 of God's

00:31:23.980 --> 00:31:24.799
 wrath.

00:31:24.980 --> 00:31:25.619
 He knew

00:31:25.619 --> 00:31:26.379
 that's what

00:31:26.379 --> 00:31:26.720
 he was

00:31:26.720 --> 00:31:27.460
 going to

00:31:27.460 --> 00:31:28.359
 go and

00:31:28.359 --> 00:31:28.679
 do.

00:31:29.399 --> 00:31:30.039
 So drink

00:31:30.039 --> 00:31:31.460
 fully of

00:31:31.460 --> 00:31:32.039
 the wrath

00:31:32.039 --> 00:31:32.720
 of God

00:31:32.720 --> 00:31:33.460
 for all

00:31:33.460 --> 00:31:34.039
 who would

00:31:34.039 --> 00:31:34.420
 believe

00:31:34.420 --> 00:31:35.380
 in him.

00:31:35.940 --> 00:31:36.600
 This was

00:31:36.600 --> 00:31:37.259
 the significant

00:31:37.259 --> 00:31:37.940
 thing that

00:31:37.940 --> 00:31:38.819
 happened on

00:31:38.819 --> 00:31:39.120
 the cross

00:31:39.120 --> 00:31:39.460
 of Jesus

00:31:39.460 --> 00:31:39.900
 Christ.

00:31:40.059 --> 00:31:40.380
 Not

00:31:40.380 --> 00:31:41.799
 merely his

00:31:41.799 --> 00:31:42.539
 physical

00:31:42.539 --> 00:31:43.400
 death.

00:31:44.480 --> 00:31:44.860
 And hear

00:31:44.860 --> 00:31:45.019
 me,

00:31:45.039 --> 00:31:45.279
 and hear

00:31:45.279 --> 00:31:45.779
 me carefully.

00:31:46.600 --> 00:31:47.160
 If it

00:31:47.160 --> 00:31:47.839
 meant saving

00:31:47.839 --> 00:31:48.279
 the people

00:31:48.279 --> 00:31:48.740
 in this

00:31:48.740 --> 00:31:49.019
 room,

00:31:49.140 --> 00:31:49.620
 I would

00:31:49.620 --> 00:31:50.120
 die for

00:31:50.120 --> 00:31:50.900
 you guys.

00:31:51.299 --> 00:31:51.860
 A physical

00:31:51.860 --> 00:31:52.259
 death.

00:31:52.880 --> 00:31:53.360
 That I

00:31:53.360 --> 00:31:53.819
 would do.

00:31:53.920 --> 00:31:54.180
 I would

00:31:54.180 --> 00:31:54.600
 volunteer

00:31:54.600 --> 00:31:56.019
 myself for

00:31:56.019 --> 00:31:56.299
 that.

00:31:56.380 --> 00:31:56.960
 I love

00:31:56.960 --> 00:31:57.519
 you that

00:31:57.519 --> 00:31:58.000
 way.

00:31:58.519 --> 00:31:58.900
 What I

00:31:58.900 --> 00:31:59.460
 could not

00:31:59.460 --> 00:32:00.900
 do is

00:32:00.900 --> 00:32:01.360
 bear the

00:32:01.360 --> 00:32:01.860
 wrath of

00:32:01.860 --> 00:32:02.380
 God for

00:32:02.380 --> 00:32:02.900
 your sin.

00:32:03.680 --> 00:32:03.880
 I

00:32:03.880 --> 00:32:04.120
 couldn't

00:32:04.120 --> 00:32:04.500
 do it.

00:32:04.760 --> 00:32:04.840
 I

00:32:04.840 --> 00:32:05.420
 couldn't

00:32:05.420 --> 00:32:05.860
 hold up

00:32:05.860 --> 00:32:06.180
 to it.

00:32:06.820 --> 00:32:07.040
 I'm

00:32:07.040 --> 00:32:07.240
 not

00:32:07.240 --> 00:32:07.820
 created

00:32:07.820 --> 00:32:08.320
 for that

00:32:08.320 --> 00:32:08.620
 very

00:32:08.620 --> 00:32:09.520
 thing as

00:32:09.520 --> 00:32:10.200
 Jesus

00:32:10.200 --> 00:32:11.640
 was.

00:32:12.160 --> 00:32:12.820
 Eternal.

00:32:13.060 --> 00:32:13.180
 The

00:32:13.180 --> 00:32:13.580
 God

00:32:13.580 --> 00:32:14.100
 man

00:32:14.100 --> 00:32:14.860
 could

00:32:14.860 --> 00:32:15.420
 bear

00:32:15.420 --> 00:32:16.180
 God's

00:32:16.180 --> 00:32:16.760
 wrath.

00:32:17.000 --> 00:32:17.380
 All

00:32:17.380 --> 00:32:17.820
 that

00:32:17.820 --> 00:32:18.840
 eternality

00:32:18.840 --> 00:32:19.140
 of his

00:32:19.140 --> 00:32:19.520
 wrath

00:32:19.520 --> 00:32:20.860
 for our

00:32:20.860 --> 00:32:21.820
 sin.

00:32:23.100 --> 00:32:23.520
 So,

00:32:24.440 --> 00:32:25.360
 for God

00:32:25.360 --> 00:32:26.460
 to forgive

00:32:26.460 --> 00:32:27.360
 you of

00:32:27.360 --> 00:32:28.600
 your sin,

00:32:28.800 --> 00:32:29.400
 it must

00:32:29.400 --> 00:32:30.240
 be punished

00:32:30.240 --> 00:32:31.740
 in someone

00:32:31.740 --> 00:32:32.160
 else.

00:32:32.380 --> 00:32:33.000
 And that

00:32:33.000 --> 00:32:33.780
 is the

00:32:33.780 --> 00:32:34.180
 person

00:32:34.180 --> 00:32:35.800
 of Christ.

00:32:36.740 --> 00:32:37.080
 Matthew

00:32:37.080 --> 00:32:37.340
 chapter

00:32:37.340 --> 00:32:38.000
 27,

00:32:38.540 --> 00:32:39.120
 verse 50

00:32:39.120 --> 00:32:39.960
 and 51,

00:32:40.600 --> 00:32:40.940
 Matthew

00:32:40.940 --> 00:32:41.540
 records for

00:32:41.540 --> 00:32:41.860
 us,

00:32:42.040 --> 00:32:42.300
 Jesus

00:32:42.300 --> 00:32:42.780
 hangs on

00:32:42.780 --> 00:32:43.260
 the cross

00:32:43.260 --> 00:32:44.720
 and Jesus

00:32:44.720 --> 00:32:45.380
 cried out

00:32:45.380 --> 00:32:46.680
 again with

00:32:46.680 --> 00:32:47.040
 a loud

00:32:47.040 --> 00:32:47.660
 voice and

00:32:47.660 --> 00:32:48.200
 he doesn't

00:32:48.200 --> 00:32:48.720
 tell us what

00:32:48.720 --> 00:32:49.340
 he says,

00:32:49.460 --> 00:32:49.740
 but I

00:32:49.740 --> 00:32:50.080
 think from

00:32:50.080 --> 00:32:50.700
 John 19

00:32:50.700 --> 00:32:51.020
 30,

00:32:51.160 --> 00:32:51.500
 we know

00:32:51.500 --> 00:32:51.800
 what he

00:32:51.800 --> 00:32:52.260
 cries at

00:32:52.260 --> 00:32:52.760
 that point

00:32:52.760 --> 00:32:53.140
 is,

00:32:53.320 --> 00:32:54.380
 it is

00:32:54.380 --> 00:32:55.380
 finished.

00:32:56.000 --> 00:32:56.660
 I have

00:32:56.660 --> 00:32:57.440
 now drunk

00:32:57.440 --> 00:32:57.840
 to the

00:32:57.840 --> 00:32:58.660
 very bottom

00:32:58.660 --> 00:32:59.220
 of the

00:32:59.220 --> 00:32:59.500
 cup,

00:32:59.600 --> 00:33:00.060
 the wrath

00:33:00.060 --> 00:33:00.800
 of God

00:33:00.800 --> 00:33:02.720
 and yielded

00:33:02.720 --> 00:33:03.680
 up his

00:33:03.680 --> 00:33:04.140
 spirit.

00:33:04.580 --> 00:33:05.360
 Verse 51

00:33:05.360 --> 00:33:05.920
 says,

00:33:06.040 --> 00:33:06.600
 and behold,

00:33:06.960 --> 00:33:07.620
 the curtain

00:33:07.620 --> 00:33:08.920
 of the

00:33:08.920 --> 00:33:09.300
 temple

00:33:09.300 --> 00:33:10.480
 was torn

00:33:10.480 --> 00:33:11.400
 in two

00:33:11.400 --> 00:33:12.279
 from top

00:33:12.279 --> 00:33:13.120
 to bottom

00:33:13.120 --> 00:33:13.480
 and the

00:33:13.480 --> 00:33:14.259
 earth shook

00:33:14.259 --> 00:33:15.000
 and the

00:33:15.000 --> 00:33:15.420
 rocks

00:33:15.420 --> 00:33:16.540
 were split.

00:33:16.539 --> 00:33:18.619
 we are

00:33:18.619 --> 00:33:19.220
 granted

00:33:19.220 --> 00:33:19.799
 in

00:33:19.799 --> 00:33:20.500
 Christ

00:33:20.500 --> 00:33:21.639
 full

00:33:21.639 --> 00:33:22.440
 access

00:33:22.440 --> 00:33:24.240
 to God

00:33:24.240 --> 00:33:24.779
 himself,

00:33:25.279 --> 00:33:25.779
 to the

00:33:25.779 --> 00:33:26.200
 holy

00:33:26.200 --> 00:33:26.940
 places,

00:33:27.099 --> 00:33:27.480
 the author

00:33:27.480 --> 00:33:28.500
 of Hebrews

00:33:28.500 --> 00:33:29.799
 says.

00:33:31.319 --> 00:33:31.899
 And so,

00:33:32.039 --> 00:33:32.519
 if you're in

00:33:32.519 --> 00:33:33.240
 Christ this

00:33:33.240 --> 00:33:33.619
 morning,

00:33:34.619 --> 00:33:35.460
 you can

00:33:35.460 --> 00:33:36.240
 step in

00:33:36.240 --> 00:33:36.519
 to the

00:33:36.519 --> 00:33:36.960
 presence

00:33:36.960 --> 00:33:38.139
 of God.

00:33:38.579 --> 00:33:39.200
 You can

00:33:39.200 --> 00:33:39.639
 go to

00:33:39.639 --> 00:33:40.379
 him with

00:33:40.379 --> 00:33:41.180
 anything.

00:33:41.720 --> 00:33:42.059
 When he

00:33:42.059 --> 00:33:42.539
 looks at

00:33:42.539 --> 00:33:42.659
 you,

00:33:42.740 --> 00:33:43.359
 he sees

00:33:43.359 --> 00:33:44.200
 Christ

00:33:44.200 --> 00:33:44.960
 and Christ

00:33:44.960 --> 00:33:45.519
 himself

00:33:45.519 --> 00:33:45.960
 is seated

00:33:45.960 --> 00:33:46.299
 at his

00:33:46.299 --> 00:33:46.740
 right hand

00:33:46.740 --> 00:33:47.700
 praying on

00:33:47.700 --> 00:33:48.619
 your behalf.

00:33:49.579 --> 00:33:49.779
 Beloved,

00:33:49.839 --> 00:33:50.079
 we have

00:33:50.079 --> 00:33:50.879
 unlimited

00:33:50.879 --> 00:33:52.099
 access

00:33:52.099 --> 00:33:53.339
 to him.

00:33:54.720 --> 00:33:55.180
 My

00:33:55.180 --> 00:33:56.000
 prayer life

00:33:56.000 --> 00:33:56.720
 is so

00:33:56.720 --> 00:33:57.659
 rocked

00:33:57.659 --> 00:33:59.079
 by contemplating

00:33:59.079 --> 00:33:59.980
 this reality.

00:34:00.819 --> 00:34:02.240
 How often

00:34:02.240 --> 00:34:03.200
 I don't

00:34:03.200 --> 00:34:04.200
 go and

00:34:04.200 --> 00:34:05.059
 pray to

00:34:05.059 --> 00:34:05.799
 our God

00:34:05.799 --> 00:34:07.099
 when I

00:34:07.099 --> 00:34:07.720
 am in

00:34:07.720 --> 00:34:08.519
 Christ.

00:34:09.239 --> 00:34:09.920
 Unlimited

00:34:09.920 --> 00:34:11.380
 access.

00:34:12.519 --> 00:34:12.880
 I may not

00:34:12.880 --> 00:34:13.300
 know what

00:34:13.300 --> 00:34:13.800
 to pray.

00:34:14.239 --> 00:34:14.699
 I'm feeling

00:34:14.699 --> 00:34:15.579
 some guilt

00:34:15.579 --> 00:34:16.039
 for something

00:34:16.039 --> 00:34:16.420
 that I've

00:34:16.420 --> 00:34:16.820
 done and

00:34:16.820 --> 00:34:17.039
 don't

00:34:17.039 --> 00:34:17.820
 feel worthy

00:34:17.820 --> 00:34:18.519
 of entering

00:34:18.519 --> 00:34:19.840
 his presence.

00:34:20.800 --> 00:34:21.259
 The truth

00:34:21.259 --> 00:34:21.480
 is,

00:34:21.619 --> 00:34:22.400
 I'm not,

00:34:22.519 --> 00:34:22.860
 but in

00:34:22.860 --> 00:34:23.340
 Christ,

00:34:23.559 --> 00:34:24.300
 I can.

00:34:25.119 --> 00:34:25.360
 In

00:34:25.360 --> 00:34:25.739
 Christ,

00:34:25.880 --> 00:34:26.480
 I am

00:34:26.480 --> 00:34:26.980
 found

00:34:26.980 --> 00:34:27.759
 worthy

00:34:27.759 --> 00:34:28.800
 to step

00:34:28.800 --> 00:34:29.099
 into the

00:34:29.099 --> 00:34:29.500
 presence

00:34:29.500 --> 00:34:30.519
 of God.

00:34:30.820 --> 00:34:31.320
 This

00:34:31.320 --> 00:34:32.139
 is an

00:34:32.139 --> 00:34:32.960
 astounding

00:34:32.960 --> 00:34:33.820
 truth.

00:34:35.559 --> 00:34:36.380
 Sometimes I

00:34:36.380 --> 00:34:37.019
 wish we

00:34:37.019 --> 00:34:37.639
 had an

00:34:37.639 --> 00:34:39.480
 ability to

00:34:39.480 --> 00:34:40.259
 time travel,

00:34:40.639 --> 00:34:41.179
 take us

00:34:41.179 --> 00:34:41.940
 all back

00:34:41.940 --> 00:34:43.019
 and let

00:34:43.019 --> 00:34:43.960
 us live

00:34:43.960 --> 00:34:44.599
 in the

00:34:44.599 --> 00:34:45.019
 days of

00:34:45.019 --> 00:34:45.480
 limited

00:34:45.480 --> 00:34:46.219
 access,

00:34:47.259 --> 00:34:48.299
 physically

00:34:48.299 --> 00:34:49.299
 seeing

00:34:49.299 --> 00:34:50.119
 at the

00:34:50.119 --> 00:34:50.799
 tabernacle

00:34:50.799 --> 00:34:51.719
 or seeing

00:34:51.719 --> 00:34:52.659
 the temple,

00:34:53.299 --> 00:34:53.980
 seeing the

00:34:53.980 --> 00:34:54.659
 way in

00:34:54.659 --> 00:34:55.139
 which it

00:34:55.139 --> 00:34:55.719
 was closed

00:34:55.719 --> 00:34:56.239
 off,

00:34:56.460 --> 00:34:57.500
 so that we

00:34:57.500 --> 00:34:58.419
 could really

00:34:58.419 --> 00:34:59.679
 comprehend how

00:34:59.679 --> 00:35:00.699
 significant it

00:35:00.699 --> 00:35:02.039
 is that we

00:35:02.039 --> 00:35:02.639
 have unlimited

00:35:02.639 --> 00:35:03.239
 access.

00:35:03.239 --> 00:35:05.139
 all I

00:35:05.139 --> 00:35:05.579
 can do

00:35:05.579 --> 00:35:06.659
 myself and

00:35:06.659 --> 00:35:07.479
 encourage you

00:35:07.479 --> 00:35:08.059
 to do is

00:35:08.059 --> 00:35:08.939
 to have an

00:35:08.939 --> 00:35:09.519
 imagination

00:35:09.519 --> 00:35:10.219
 toward that.

00:35:10.319 --> 00:35:10.659
 What would

00:35:10.659 --> 00:35:11.239
 that have

00:35:11.239 --> 00:35:12.659
 been like?

00:35:13.119 --> 00:35:13.859
 To not

00:35:13.859 --> 00:35:14.379
 have a

00:35:14.379 --> 00:35:15.139
 clean

00:35:15.139 --> 00:35:16.139
 conscience.

00:35:16.839 --> 00:35:17.539
 To not

00:35:17.539 --> 00:35:18.099
 be able to

00:35:18.099 --> 00:35:19.279
 fully have a

00:35:19.279 --> 00:35:20.019
 clean conscience

00:35:20.019 --> 00:35:21.019
 and be able to

00:35:21.019 --> 00:35:21.579
 draw into the

00:35:21.579 --> 00:35:22.859
 presence of

00:35:22.859 --> 00:35:23.139
 God.

00:35:24.139 --> 00:35:24.579
 I think we

00:35:24.579 --> 00:35:25.239
 would greater

00:35:25.239 --> 00:35:26.339
 appreciate and

00:35:26.339 --> 00:35:26.899
 more quickly

00:35:26.899 --> 00:35:28.000
 go to his

00:35:28.000 --> 00:35:29.039
 presence if

00:35:29.039 --> 00:35:29.319
 we did.

00:35:30.619 --> 00:35:31.039
 So,

00:35:31.919 --> 00:35:32.519
 the adequacy of

00:35:32.519 --> 00:35:32.699
 the new

00:35:32.699 --> 00:35:32.979
 covenant,

00:35:32.980 --> 00:35:33.800
 because there's

00:35:33.800 --> 00:35:34.719
 unlimited access,

00:35:35.179 --> 00:35:35.980
 also because

00:35:35.980 --> 00:35:37.019
 there's unlimited

00:35:37.019 --> 00:35:37.980
 efficacy.

00:35:38.659 --> 00:35:39.380
 What it can

00:35:39.380 --> 00:35:39.960
 accomplish,

00:35:40.059 --> 00:35:40.159
 right,

00:35:40.199 --> 00:35:41.119
 is fully

00:35:41.119 --> 00:35:42.219
 powerful

00:35:42.219 --> 00:35:44.199
 to accomplish.

00:35:44.980 --> 00:35:45.920
 Verse 13

00:35:45.920 --> 00:35:46.559
 and 14.

00:35:47.679 --> 00:35:48.760
 For if the

00:35:48.760 --> 00:35:49.360
 blood of goats

00:35:49.360 --> 00:35:49.900
 and bulls

00:35:49.900 --> 00:35:50.119
 and the

00:35:50.119 --> 00:35:50.880
 sprinkling of

00:35:50.880 --> 00:35:51.880
 defiled persons

00:35:51.880 --> 00:35:52.559
 with the ashes

00:35:52.559 --> 00:35:53.460
 of a heifer

00:35:53.460 --> 00:35:55.219
 sanctify for

00:35:55.219 --> 00:35:55.880
 the purification

00:35:55.880 --> 00:35:57.119
 of the flesh,

00:35:57.760 --> 00:35:59.340
 how much

00:35:59.340 --> 00:36:00.719
 more?

00:36:00.940 --> 00:36:01.740
 Verse 13,

00:36:01.960 --> 00:36:02.099
 right,

00:36:02.099 --> 00:36:02.500
 if the

00:36:02.500 --> 00:36:02.839
 inadequate

00:36:02.839 --> 00:36:03.559
 sacrifice

00:36:03.559 --> 00:36:04.719
 is good

00:36:04.719 --> 00:36:05.059
 enough for

00:36:05.059 --> 00:36:05.599
 the time,

00:36:05.779 --> 00:36:06.400
 verse 14,

00:36:06.519 --> 00:36:07.579
 how much

00:36:07.579 --> 00:36:08.259
 more

00:36:08.259 --> 00:36:09.380
 will the

00:36:09.380 --> 00:36:09.759
 blood of

00:36:09.759 --> 00:36:10.179
 Christ,

00:36:10.940 --> 00:36:11.559
 who through

00:36:11.559 --> 00:36:12.279
 the eternal

00:36:12.279 --> 00:36:13.319
 spirit offered

00:36:13.319 --> 00:36:14.960
 himself without

00:36:14.960 --> 00:36:16.139
 blemish to

00:36:16.139 --> 00:36:16.519
 God,

00:36:17.380 --> 00:36:18.380
 purify our

00:36:18.380 --> 00:36:19.719
 conscience from

00:36:19.719 --> 00:36:20.420
 dead works

00:36:20.420 --> 00:36:21.819
 to serve

00:36:21.819 --> 00:36:22.619
 the living

00:36:22.619 --> 00:36:22.920
 God.

00:36:24.279 --> 00:36:25.099
 He makes

00:36:25.099 --> 00:36:25.519
 our

00:36:25.519 --> 00:36:26.259
 consciences

00:36:26.259 --> 00:36:27.839
 clean because

00:36:27.839 --> 00:36:28.980
 of all our

00:36:28.980 --> 00:36:29.460
 sin.

00:36:29.460 --> 00:36:30.199
 And beloved,

00:36:30.340 --> 00:36:30.599
 hear me,

00:36:30.659 --> 00:36:31.000
 the sins

00:36:31.000 --> 00:36:31.679
 past and

00:36:31.679 --> 00:36:32.000
 the sins

00:36:32.000 --> 00:36:32.500
 present,

00:36:33.280 --> 00:36:33.679
 the sins

00:36:33.679 --> 00:36:33.880
 you've

00:36:33.880 --> 00:36:34.159
 committed

00:36:34.159 --> 00:36:34.980
 sitting here

00:36:34.980 --> 00:36:35.559
 in this

00:36:35.559 --> 00:36:36.039
 room,

00:36:36.480 --> 00:36:37.240
 and the

00:36:37.240 --> 00:36:37.639
 sins

00:36:37.639 --> 00:36:38.599
 future,

00:36:39.260 --> 00:36:39.980
 were all

00:36:39.980 --> 00:36:40.720
 paid for

00:36:40.720 --> 00:36:41.980
 in Christ.

00:36:42.539 --> 00:36:43.019
 His blood

00:36:43.019 --> 00:36:44.380
 covers every

00:36:44.380 --> 00:36:46.079
 one of

00:36:46.079 --> 00:36:46.320
 them.

00:36:47.639 --> 00:36:48.119
 And we

00:36:48.119 --> 00:36:48.960
 don't always

00:36:48.960 --> 00:36:50.159
 respond well

00:36:50.159 --> 00:36:51.960
 to our sin

00:36:51.960 --> 00:36:52.960
 in that

00:36:52.960 --> 00:36:53.460
 reality.

00:36:53.460 --> 00:36:56.019
 very few

00:36:56.019 --> 00:36:56.699
 of us

00:36:56.699 --> 00:36:58.159
 repent the

00:36:58.159 --> 00:36:58.440
 way we

00:36:58.440 --> 00:36:58.880
 ought to

00:36:58.880 --> 00:36:59.840
 repent when

00:36:59.840 --> 00:37:00.800
 we sin.

00:37:01.340 --> 00:37:02.240
 Very few

00:37:02.240 --> 00:37:02.800
 of us

00:37:02.800 --> 00:37:03.699
 flee back

00:37:03.699 --> 00:37:03.980
 to the

00:37:03.980 --> 00:37:04.460
 cross of

00:37:04.460 --> 00:37:06.380
 Christ as

00:37:06.380 --> 00:37:06.820
 we should.

00:37:07.300 --> 00:37:07.659
 And I

00:37:07.659 --> 00:37:08.059
 think in

00:37:08.059 --> 00:37:08.599
 some measure

00:37:08.599 --> 00:37:09.500
 it can be

00:37:09.500 --> 00:37:09.940
 commendable

00:37:09.940 --> 00:37:11.000
 because you

00:37:11.000 --> 00:37:11.539
 all take

00:37:11.539 --> 00:37:13.179
 sin seriously.

00:37:14.099 --> 00:37:14.500
 I think

00:37:14.500 --> 00:37:15.220
 that's a

00:37:15.220 --> 00:37:15.800
 good thing.

00:37:16.400 --> 00:37:16.800
 I think we

00:37:16.800 --> 00:37:17.320
 ought to

00:37:17.320 --> 00:37:18.059
 feel a

00:37:18.059 --> 00:37:18.940
 godly sorrow

00:37:18.940 --> 00:37:20.260
 over our

00:37:20.260 --> 00:37:20.599
 sin.

00:37:21.159 --> 00:37:21.480
 And the

00:37:21.480 --> 00:37:21.960
 question has

00:37:21.960 --> 00:37:22.619
 been asked

00:37:22.619 --> 00:37:22.940
 of me,

00:37:23.059 --> 00:37:23.859
 how long

00:37:23.859 --> 00:37:24.299
 should I

00:37:24.299 --> 00:37:25.380
 feel sorrow

00:37:25.380 --> 00:37:26.659
 for my

00:37:26.659 --> 00:37:27.039
 sin?

00:37:27.839 --> 00:37:28.880
 My response

00:37:28.880 --> 00:37:29.199
 is,

00:37:29.279 --> 00:37:30.199
 only as long

00:37:30.199 --> 00:37:30.699
 as it takes

00:37:30.699 --> 00:37:31.019
 you to get

00:37:31.019 --> 00:37:31.759
 back to

00:37:31.759 --> 00:37:32.259
 the cross

00:37:32.259 --> 00:37:33.159
 of Christ.

00:37:34.539 --> 00:37:35.039
 Have your

00:37:35.039 --> 00:37:36.139
 sin break

00:37:36.139 --> 00:37:36.440
 you,

00:37:37.179 --> 00:37:37.539
 utterly

00:37:37.539 --> 00:37:38.719
 destroy you,

00:37:39.000 --> 00:37:39.839
 and then get

00:37:39.839 --> 00:37:40.960
 quickly to

00:37:40.960 --> 00:37:41.759
 the reality

00:37:41.759 --> 00:37:42.839
 of who

00:37:42.839 --> 00:37:44.000
 God is

00:37:44.000 --> 00:37:44.900
 to you

00:37:44.900 --> 00:37:46.339
 in Jesus.

00:37:47.759 --> 00:37:48.159
 Penal

00:37:48.159 --> 00:37:49.019
 substitutionary

00:37:49.019 --> 00:37:49.500
 atonement.

00:37:49.599 --> 00:37:50.219
 He died

00:37:50.219 --> 00:37:51.400
 in your

00:37:51.400 --> 00:37:51.900
 stead.

00:37:51.900 --> 00:37:52.920
 this thing

00:37:52.920 --> 00:37:53.380
 you're feeling

00:37:53.380 --> 00:37:54.240
 sorrow over,

00:37:54.639 --> 00:37:55.099
 he bore

00:37:55.099 --> 00:37:55.760
 God's wrath

00:37:55.760 --> 00:37:56.160
 for it

00:37:56.160 --> 00:37:57.240
 on the

00:37:57.240 --> 00:37:57.820
 cross.

00:37:59.220 --> 00:37:59.980
 And have

00:37:59.980 --> 00:38:00.820
 your sorrow

00:38:00.820 --> 00:38:01.680
 turn to a

00:38:01.680 --> 00:38:02.860
 great rejoicing

00:38:02.860 --> 00:38:03.579
 in who

00:38:03.579 --> 00:38:04.320
 Christ is

00:38:04.320 --> 00:38:05.700
 for you.

00:38:06.400 --> 00:38:06.920
 We can

00:38:06.920 --> 00:38:07.380
 have

00:38:07.380 --> 00:38:08.300
 purified

00:38:08.300 --> 00:38:09.119
 consciences

00:38:09.119 --> 00:38:10.320
 in

00:38:10.320 --> 00:38:11.019
 Christ.

00:38:12.079 --> 00:38:12.660
 Paul wrote

00:38:12.660 --> 00:38:13.180
 in Colossians

00:38:13.180 --> 00:38:13.780
 chapter 2,

00:38:13.860 --> 00:38:14.019
 this is

00:38:14.019 --> 00:38:14.680
 verse 16

00:38:14.680 --> 00:38:15.700
 and 17,

00:38:15.860 --> 00:38:16.460
 he's talking

00:38:16.460 --> 00:38:17.059
 about other

00:38:17.059 --> 00:38:18.079
 matters of

00:38:18.079 --> 00:38:19.539
 ceremonial

00:38:19.539 --> 00:38:19.960
 worship.

00:38:19.960 --> 00:38:20.740
 verse 16,

00:38:20.880 --> 00:38:21.099
 therefore

00:38:21.099 --> 00:38:21.699
 no one

00:38:21.699 --> 00:38:22.340
 pass judgment

00:38:22.340 --> 00:38:22.840
 on you

00:38:22.840 --> 00:38:23.400
 in questions

00:38:23.400 --> 00:38:23.940
 of food

00:38:23.940 --> 00:38:24.480
 and drink

00:38:24.480 --> 00:38:25.420
 or with

00:38:25.420 --> 00:38:25.920
 regard to

00:38:25.920 --> 00:38:26.460
 a festival

00:38:26.460 --> 00:38:27.220
 or a new

00:38:27.220 --> 00:38:27.579
 moon

00:38:27.579 --> 00:38:28.539
 or a

00:38:28.539 --> 00:38:28.840
 Sabbath.

00:38:29.059 --> 00:38:29.320
 And then he

00:38:29.320 --> 00:38:29.579
 says in

00:38:29.579 --> 00:38:30.519
 verse 17,

00:38:31.360 --> 00:38:32.360
 these are a

00:38:32.360 --> 00:38:32.800
 shadow

00:38:32.800 --> 00:38:33.500
 of the

00:38:33.500 --> 00:38:34.079
 things

00:38:34.079 --> 00:38:34.840
 to come,

00:38:35.260 --> 00:38:35.780
 but the

00:38:35.780 --> 00:38:36.559
 substance

00:38:36.559 --> 00:38:37.740
 belongs

00:38:37.740 --> 00:38:39.500
 to Christ.

00:38:41.099 --> 00:38:42.000
 The new

00:38:42.000 --> 00:38:42.440
 covenant

00:38:42.440 --> 00:38:44.019
 has

00:38:44.019 --> 00:38:44.820
 unlimited

00:38:44.820 --> 00:38:46.159
 access

00:38:46.159 --> 00:38:47.199
 and

00:38:47.199 --> 00:38:48.059
 unlimited

00:38:48.059 --> 00:38:49.639
 efficacy.

00:38:50.799 --> 00:38:51.359
 I want

00:38:51.359 --> 00:38:51.719
 to close

00:38:51.719 --> 00:38:51.980
 with a

00:38:51.980 --> 00:38:52.579
 reading from

00:38:52.579 --> 00:38:53.239
 Pilgrim's

00:38:53.239 --> 00:38:53.519
 Progress.

00:38:54.480 --> 00:38:55.139
 Once again,

00:38:55.279 --> 00:38:55.779
 stick around

00:38:55.779 --> 00:38:56.279
 and I'll

00:38:56.279 --> 00:38:56.480
 read you

00:38:56.480 --> 00:38:56.739
 the whole

00:38:56.739 --> 00:38:57.019
 book.

00:38:59.079 --> 00:38:59.659
 This is

00:38:59.659 --> 00:39:00.420
 very early.

00:39:00.839 --> 00:39:01.079
 If you

00:39:01.079 --> 00:39:01.440
 don't know,

00:39:01.599 --> 00:39:02.179
 this is a

00:39:02.179 --> 00:39:02.759
 book written

00:39:02.759 --> 00:39:03.339
 by John

00:39:03.339 --> 00:39:03.659
 Bunyan.

00:39:03.859 --> 00:39:04.119
 It's an

00:39:04.119 --> 00:39:04.579
 allegory.

00:39:05.299 --> 00:39:06.199
 He's dreaming

00:39:06.199 --> 00:39:06.980
 all along

00:39:06.980 --> 00:39:07.599
 and everything

00:39:07.599 --> 00:39:08.019
 in an

00:39:08.019 --> 00:39:08.399
 allegory

00:39:08.399 --> 00:39:08.839
 represents

00:39:08.839 --> 00:39:09.339
 something

00:39:09.339 --> 00:39:09.719
 else.

00:39:10.679 --> 00:39:11.119
 And there's

00:39:11.119 --> 00:39:12.000
 a man

00:39:12.000 --> 00:39:12.399
 who goes

00:39:12.399 --> 00:39:12.619
 by the

00:39:12.619 --> 00:39:12.940
 name of

00:39:12.940 --> 00:39:13.539
 Christian

00:39:13.539 --> 00:39:14.800
 and he's

00:39:14.800 --> 00:39:15.639
 traveling to

00:39:15.639 --> 00:39:15.820
 the

00:39:15.820 --> 00:39:16.179
 celestial

00:39:16.179 --> 00:39:16.599
 city.

00:39:16.719 --> 00:39:16.880
 This is

00:39:16.880 --> 00:39:17.360
 very early

00:39:17.360 --> 00:39:17.940
 in his

00:39:17.940 --> 00:39:18.159
 journey.

00:39:19.519 --> 00:39:20.199
 Now I

00:39:20.199 --> 00:39:20.860
 saw in

00:39:20.860 --> 00:39:21.480
 my dream

00:39:21.480 --> 00:39:22.460
 that the

00:39:22.460 --> 00:39:23.199
 highway up

00:39:23.199 --> 00:39:23.420
 which

00:39:23.420 --> 00:39:23.840
 Christian

00:39:23.840 --> 00:39:24.259
 was to

00:39:24.259 --> 00:39:24.900
 go was

00:39:24.900 --> 00:39:25.480
 fenced on

00:39:25.480 --> 00:39:26.099
 each side

00:39:26.099 --> 00:39:26.400
 with a

00:39:26.400 --> 00:39:27.360
 wall and

00:39:27.360 --> 00:39:27.820
 the wall

00:39:27.820 --> 00:39:28.519
 was called

00:39:28.519 --> 00:39:29.579
 salvation.

00:39:30.519 --> 00:39:30.920
 Therefore it

00:39:30.920 --> 00:39:31.460
 was up this

00:39:31.460 --> 00:39:32.000
 highway that

00:39:32.000 --> 00:39:32.719
 Christian ran

00:39:32.719 --> 00:39:33.239
 but not

00:39:33.239 --> 00:39:33.960
 without great

00:39:33.960 --> 00:39:34.539
 difficulty

00:39:34.539 --> 00:39:35.179
 because of

00:39:35.179 --> 00:39:35.719
 the burden

00:39:35.719 --> 00:39:36.219
 of the

00:39:36.219 --> 00:39:37.420
 load on

00:39:37.420 --> 00:39:37.960
 his back.

00:39:38.039 --> 00:39:38.259
 He's been

00:39:38.259 --> 00:39:38.759
 carrying this

00:39:38.759 --> 00:39:39.480
 big backpack

00:39:39.480 --> 00:39:40.159
 around.

00:39:41.380 --> 00:39:41.559
 It

00:39:41.559 --> 00:39:42.139
 represents his

00:39:42.139 --> 00:39:42.380
 guilt.

00:39:42.380 --> 00:39:43.660
 He ran

00:39:43.660 --> 00:39:43.920
 until he

00:39:43.920 --> 00:39:44.519
 came to

00:39:44.519 --> 00:39:44.960
 a small

00:39:44.960 --> 00:39:45.360
 hill at

00:39:45.360 --> 00:39:45.740
 the top

00:39:45.740 --> 00:39:46.180
 of which

00:39:46.180 --> 00:39:46.740
 stood a

00:39:46.740 --> 00:39:47.820
 cross and

00:39:47.820 --> 00:39:48.079
 at the

00:39:48.079 --> 00:39:48.579
 bottom of

00:39:48.579 --> 00:39:49.380
 which was

00:39:49.380 --> 00:39:49.880
 a tomb.

00:39:50.740 --> 00:39:51.059
 I saw

00:39:51.059 --> 00:39:51.280
 in my

00:39:51.280 --> 00:39:51.640
 dream that

00:39:51.640 --> 00:39:52.019
 when Christian

00:39:52.019 --> 00:39:52.660
 walked up

00:39:52.660 --> 00:39:52.940
 the hill

00:39:52.940 --> 00:39:53.240
 to the

00:39:53.240 --> 00:39:54.300
 cross his

00:39:54.300 --> 00:39:55.079
 burden came

00:39:55.079 --> 00:39:55.700
 loose from

00:39:55.700 --> 00:39:56.220
 his shoulders

00:39:56.220 --> 00:39:56.880
 and fell

00:39:56.880 --> 00:39:57.420
 off his

00:39:57.420 --> 00:39:58.619
 back tumbling

00:39:58.619 --> 00:39:59.180
 down the

00:39:59.180 --> 00:39:59.660
 hill until

00:39:59.660 --> 00:40:00.300
 it came to

00:40:00.300 --> 00:40:00.720
 the mouth

00:40:00.720 --> 00:40:01.059
 of the

00:40:01.059 --> 00:40:01.920
 tomb where

00:40:01.920 --> 00:40:02.360
 it fell

00:40:02.360 --> 00:40:03.220
 in to

00:40:03.220 --> 00:40:03.820
 be seen

00:40:03.820 --> 00:40:04.920
 no more.

00:40:06.440 --> 00:40:06.700
 Then

00:40:06.700 --> 00:40:07.079
 Christian

00:40:07.079 --> 00:40:07.980
 was relieved

00:40:07.980 --> 00:40:08.680
 and delighted

00:40:08.680 --> 00:40:09.579
 and exclaimed

00:40:09.579 --> 00:40:10.160
 with a joyful

00:40:10.160 --> 00:40:11.420
 heart he has

00:40:11.420 --> 00:40:12.099
 given me

00:40:12.099 --> 00:40:12.920
 rest by

00:40:12.920 --> 00:40:13.599
 his sorrow

00:40:13.599 --> 00:40:14.739
 and life

00:40:14.739 --> 00:40:15.519
 by his

00:40:15.519 --> 00:40:15.980
 death.

00:40:16.779 --> 00:40:17.239
 For a

00:40:17.239 --> 00:40:17.639
 while he

00:40:17.639 --> 00:40:18.199
 stood in

00:40:18.199 --> 00:40:18.420
 front of

00:40:18.420 --> 00:40:18.799
 the cross

00:40:18.799 --> 00:40:19.319
 to look

00:40:19.319 --> 00:40:20.039
 and wonder.

00:40:20.519 --> 00:40:20.819
 It was

00:40:20.819 --> 00:40:21.659
 very surprising

00:40:21.659 --> 00:40:22.119
 to him that

00:40:22.119 --> 00:40:22.519
 the side

00:40:22.519 --> 00:40:23.019
 of the cross

00:40:23.019 --> 00:40:23.739
 should ease

00:40:23.739 --> 00:40:24.559
 him of

00:40:24.559 --> 00:40:25.039
 his burden.

00:40:25.940 --> 00:40:26.179
 He

00:40:26.179 --> 00:40:26.579
 continued

00:40:26.579 --> 00:40:27.079
 looking at

00:40:27.079 --> 00:40:27.460
 the cross

00:40:27.460 --> 00:40:28.159
 until tears

00:40:28.159 --> 00:40:29.679
 began streaming

00:40:29.679 --> 00:40:31.039
 down his

00:40:31.039 --> 00:40:31.500
 cheeks.

00:40:32.079 --> 00:40:32.480
 As he

00:40:32.480 --> 00:40:33.139
 stood looking

00:40:33.139 --> 00:40:33.980
 and weeping

00:40:33.980 --> 00:40:35.239
 three shining

00:40:35.239 --> 00:40:35.779
 ones came

00:40:35.779 --> 00:40:36.059
 to him

00:40:36.059 --> 00:40:36.480
 and greeted

00:40:36.480 --> 00:40:37.159
 him with

00:40:37.159 --> 00:40:38.019
 peace be

00:40:38.019 --> 00:40:38.480
 with you.

00:40:39.099 --> 00:40:39.559
 Then the

00:40:39.559 --> 00:40:40.019
 first said

00:40:40.019 --> 00:40:40.420
 to him

00:40:40.420 --> 00:40:41.460
 your sins

00:40:41.460 --> 00:40:42.300
 are forgiven.

00:40:43.019 --> 00:40:43.619
 The second

00:40:43.619 --> 00:40:44.219
 stripped him

00:40:44.219 --> 00:40:44.519
 of his

00:40:44.519 --> 00:40:45.059
 rags and

00:40:45.059 --> 00:40:45.659
 dressed him

00:40:45.659 --> 00:40:46.219
 with new

00:40:46.219 --> 00:40:46.659
 clothing.

00:40:47.380 --> 00:40:48.079
 The third

00:40:48.079 --> 00:40:48.800
 put a mark

00:40:48.800 --> 00:40:49.139
 on his

00:40:49.139 --> 00:40:49.759
 forehead and

00:40:49.759 --> 00:40:50.119
 gave him

00:40:50.119 --> 00:40:50.759
 a scroll

00:40:50.759 --> 00:40:51.920
 with a seal

00:40:51.920 --> 00:40:52.280
 on it.

00:40:52.360 --> 00:40:52.840
 The scroll

00:40:52.840 --> 00:40:53.380
 is the

00:40:53.380 --> 00:40:53.860
 promise of

00:40:53.860 --> 00:40:54.300
 the spirit.

00:40:55.679 --> 00:40:56.199
 He told

00:40:56.199 --> 00:40:56.739
 Christian to

00:40:56.739 --> 00:40:57.239
 review it

00:40:57.239 --> 00:40:57.840
 often as

00:40:57.840 --> 00:40:58.139
 he went

00:40:58.139 --> 00:40:58.460
 on his

00:40:58.460 --> 00:40:59.320
 way and

00:40:59.320 --> 00:40:59.559
 at the

00:40:59.559 --> 00:40:59.900
 end of

00:40:59.900 --> 00:41:00.280
 his journey

00:41:00.280 --> 00:41:00.800
 to turn

00:41:00.800 --> 00:41:01.259
 it in

00:41:01.259 --> 00:41:01.800
 at the

00:41:01.800 --> 00:41:02.199
 celestial

00:41:02.199 --> 00:41:02.739
 gate.

00:41:03.440 --> 00:41:03.679
 After

00:41:03.679 --> 00:41:04.559
 this they

00:41:04.559 --> 00:41:05.119
 went their

00:41:05.119 --> 00:41:05.400
 way.

00:41:06.420 --> 00:41:06.940
 Then Christian

00:41:06.940 --> 00:41:07.539
 gave three

00:41:07.539 --> 00:41:08.119
 leaps for

00:41:08.119 --> 00:41:08.659
 joy and

00:41:08.659 --> 00:41:09.099
 went on

00:41:09.099 --> 00:41:09.539
 his way

00:41:09.539 --> 00:41:10.039
 singing.

00:41:10.800 --> 00:41:11.460
 Thus far

00:41:11.460 --> 00:41:12.000
 I did

00:41:12.000 --> 00:41:12.920
 come burdened

00:41:12.920 --> 00:41:13.320
 with my

00:41:13.320 --> 00:41:14.519
 sin nor

00:41:14.519 --> 00:41:14.900
 could I

00:41:14.900 --> 00:41:15.779
 find relief

00:41:15.779 --> 00:41:16.360
 from my

00:41:16.360 --> 00:41:17.420
 grief within.

00:41:18.159 --> 00:41:18.820
 Until here

00:41:18.820 --> 00:41:19.440
 I came

00:41:19.440 --> 00:41:20.159
 what a

00:41:20.159 --> 00:41:21.199
 place this

00:41:21.199 --> 00:41:21.820
 is.

00:41:22.400 --> 00:41:23.000
 Here shall

00:41:23.000 --> 00:41:23.519
 be the

00:41:23.519 --> 00:41:23.980
 beginning

00:41:23.980 --> 00:41:25.019
 of full

00:41:25.019 --> 00:41:25.820
 eternal

00:41:25.820 --> 00:41:26.639
 bliss.

00:41:27.599 --> 00:41:28.099
 Now my

00:41:28.099 --> 00:41:28.800
 burden falls

00:41:28.800 --> 00:41:29.420
 from my

00:41:29.420 --> 00:41:30.300
 back forever

00:41:30.300 --> 00:41:31.259
 from the

00:41:31.259 --> 00:41:31.920
 cords that

00:41:31.920 --> 00:41:32.440
 bound it

00:41:32.440 --> 00:41:33.300
 by grace

00:41:33.300 --> 00:41:34.259
 my grief

00:41:34.259 --> 00:41:35.400
 is severed.

00:41:36.099 --> 00:41:36.400
 Blessed

00:41:36.400 --> 00:41:37.099
 cross

00:41:37.099 --> 00:41:38.019
 blessed

00:41:38.019 --> 00:41:38.659
 tomb

00:41:38.659 --> 00:41:39.360
 rather

00:41:39.360 --> 00:41:40.039
 most

00:41:40.039 --> 00:41:40.480
 blessed

00:41:40.480 --> 00:41:40.819
 be

00:41:40.819 --> 00:41:41.079
 the

00:41:41.079 --> 00:41:41.579
 man

00:41:41.579 --> 00:41:41.779
 who

00:41:41.779 --> 00:41:42.099
 there

00:41:42.099 --> 00:41:42.339
 was

00:41:42.339 --> 00:41:42.659
 put

00:41:42.659 --> 00:41:42.980
 to

00:41:42.980 --> 00:41:43.420
 shame

00:41:43.420 --> 00:41:44.079
 a

00:41:44.079 --> 00:41:44.480
 shame

00:41:44.480 --> 00:41:45.299
 he

00:41:45.299 --> 00:41:45.599
 took

00:41:45.599 --> 00:41:46.500
 for me.

00:41:47.139 --> 00:41:47.920
 Let's pray

00:41:47.920 --> 00:41:48.219
 together.
