00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:16.820
 On May 24th, God opened a door that was glorious.

00:00:21.080 --> 00:00:21.519
!

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:35.960
 God is interested in His glory today.

00:00:37.259 --> 00:00:47.659
 And He's interested in every one of us this morning bowing the knee before His glory.

00:00:47.659 --> 00:00:57.060
 And He will do whatever is necessary to lead us into the greatness of Himself.

00:00:57.060 --> 00:01:01.740
 To help us to see what is truly good.

00:01:02.500 --> 00:01:04.299
 What is truly worthwhile.

00:01:05.100 --> 00:01:07.200
 What is truly glorious.

00:01:08.900 --> 00:01:13.060
 And it can only be found in Him.

00:01:13.060 --> 00:01:18.320
 Oh, may God help us today.

00:01:19.620 --> 00:01:22.780
 To rediscover the wonder of His glory.

00:01:24.299 --> 00:01:26.540
 To come to the point where we say,

00:01:27.020 --> 00:01:29.579
 God, You are truly glorious.

00:01:31.079 --> 00:01:34.120
 There is nothing that I desire besides You.

00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:36.480
 Heaven and earth may pass away.

00:01:36.980 --> 00:01:39.140
 But if I have You, I have enough.

00:01:39.519 --> 00:01:40.320
 I have everything.

00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:42.460
 I have what truly satisfies.

00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:45.379
 I have what is truly glorious.

00:01:47.420 --> 00:01:50.480
 And Jessica, in this video that we just watched,

00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:55.260
 talks about the door that God opened into her life

00:01:55.260 --> 00:01:58.740
 to reveal the glory of Himself to her.

00:01:58.739 --> 00:02:04.519
 And to help her manifest God's glory to her stepdad.

00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:09.340
 And to anyone in the watching world who would take notice.

00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:13.500
 What Jessica did

00:02:13.500 --> 00:02:18.400
 was not a testimony to the value of her stepdad.

00:02:18.479 --> 00:02:21.500
 Her stepdad was a wicked man.

00:02:21.500 --> 00:02:26.800
 It's not even a testimony to the goodness of Jessica,

00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:30.379
 but a testament to the glory of God.

00:02:31.039 --> 00:02:34.280
 And what God can accomplish in every life.

00:02:35.060 --> 00:02:37.159
 Every life that submits to Him.

00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:41.479
 Every life that would bow the knee to the wonder of our God.

00:02:41.479 --> 00:02:48.719
 might God open up a window into glory

00:02:48.719 --> 00:02:51.359
 so that we can behold Him this morning

00:02:51.359 --> 00:02:53.679
 and just stand back

00:02:53.679 --> 00:02:58.359
 and just enjoy the wonder of our God today

00:02:58.359 --> 00:03:00.579
 as we look into the Word.

00:03:00.580 --> 00:03:05.300
 John chapter 12

00:03:05.300 --> 00:03:08.780
 in our continuing study through this Gospel

00:03:08.780 --> 00:03:12.040
 pinpoints the significance of glory

00:03:12.040 --> 00:03:16.720
 and connects glory of Christ with the cross.

00:03:17.760 --> 00:03:19.520
 It's almost paradoxical.

00:03:19.820 --> 00:03:21.480
 How is it possible for something

00:03:21.480 --> 00:03:24.080
 that brought the most shame

00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:27.060
 to evidence the most glory?

00:03:27.900 --> 00:03:29.320
 How can that be true?

00:03:30.580 --> 00:03:31.880
 We'll look at that this morning

00:03:31.880 --> 00:03:34.660
 as we evaluate this passage.

00:03:35.760 --> 00:03:37.040
 John chapter 12

00:03:37.040 --> 00:03:39.180
 beginning in verse 27.

00:03:40.340 --> 00:03:43.140
 We're going to look at this continuing narrative.

00:03:43.820 --> 00:03:45.080
 And a couple of weeks ago

00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:47.040
 as Pastor Kenoyer shared with us

00:03:47.040 --> 00:03:50.340
 we saw this small group of individuals

00:03:50.340 --> 00:03:51.680
 we don't know how many there were

00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:54.360
 this group of Gentiles or Greeks

00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:55.060
 that came

00:03:55.060 --> 00:03:56.420
 and they asked Philip

00:03:56.420 --> 00:03:56.740
 they said,

00:03:56.920 --> 00:03:57.300
 Hey Philip!

00:03:57.720 --> 00:04:00.080
 We want a private meeting with Jesus.

00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:01.719
 Can you arrange that for us?

00:04:02.880 --> 00:04:04.840
 And Philip goes to Andrew

00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:05.600
 as you remember

00:04:05.600 --> 00:04:07.240
 and Philip and Andrew together

00:04:07.240 --> 00:04:07.960
 go to Jesus

00:04:07.960 --> 00:04:08.480
 and they say,

00:04:08.640 --> 00:04:09.000
 Hey Jesus!

00:04:09.720 --> 00:04:10.840
 There's this group of Greeks

00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:12.580
 that wants to spend some time with you.

00:04:12.640 --> 00:04:14.220
 They want some personal

00:04:14.220 --> 00:04:16.280
 intimate interaction with you.

00:04:17.780 --> 00:04:19.360
 And Jesus responds

00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:20.639
 not in the way we'd expect

00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:22.600
 but Jesus responds here

00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:24.920
 in verse 23 of chapter 12

00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:26.480
 and he says,

00:04:26.640 --> 00:04:27.780
 The hour has come

00:04:27.780 --> 00:04:29.340
 for the Son of Man

00:04:29.340 --> 00:04:31.280
 to be glorified.

00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:36.800
 Jesus had glory on his mind.

00:04:38.020 --> 00:04:40.460
 Jesus had the cross in view.

00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:43.620
 In just a few short days

00:04:43.620 --> 00:04:44.680
 the cross,

00:04:44.860 --> 00:04:45.960
 the brutality

00:04:45.960 --> 00:04:46.980
 and the terror

00:04:46.980 --> 00:04:48.780
 and the horror of the cross

00:04:48.780 --> 00:04:50.920
 would come crashing down

00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:52.900
 on the shoulders of Jesus Christ.

00:04:52.899 --> 00:04:56.120
 And yet Jesus

00:04:56.120 --> 00:04:57.859
 understood

00:04:57.859 --> 00:04:59.719
 that through the cross

00:04:59.719 --> 00:05:01.439
 glory would come.

00:05:01.779 --> 00:05:03.479
 The glory of Christ

00:05:03.479 --> 00:05:05.279
 and the glory of the Father

00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:06.500
 would be made manifest

00:05:06.500 --> 00:05:07.839
 through the cross.

00:05:09.579 --> 00:05:11.459
 So I want to ask this question

00:05:11.459 --> 00:05:12.039
 this morning.

00:05:12.799 --> 00:05:14.679
 As I have wrestled this week

00:05:14.679 --> 00:05:17.319
 with this question

00:05:17.319 --> 00:05:19.079
 about glory in the cross.

00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:21.359
 and that is

00:05:21.359 --> 00:05:23.339
 how does the cross

00:05:23.339 --> 00:05:24.620
 lead to glory?

00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:27.199
 How does the cross

00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:28.339
 lead to glory?

00:05:29.500 --> 00:05:30.399
 In what way

00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:31.659
 does the cross

00:05:31.659 --> 00:05:33.199
 play a factor

00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:35.519
 in exalting Christ

00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:36.360
 and leading

00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:37.639
 to the glory of God?

00:05:37.740 --> 00:05:39.319
 What does the cross

00:05:39.319 --> 00:05:39.839
 do

00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:41.199
 to help us

00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:42.120
 see the glory

00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:42.860
 of Christ

00:05:42.860 --> 00:05:43.659
 and the glory

00:05:43.659 --> 00:05:44.219
 of the Father?

00:05:44.220 --> 00:05:47.720
 And as we walk

00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:48.480
 through this passage

00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:49.680
 I want us

00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:51.960
 to behold again

00:05:51.960 --> 00:05:53.000
 the glory of God.

00:05:53.980 --> 00:05:54.820
 To understand

00:05:54.820 --> 00:05:55.540
 the significance

00:05:55.540 --> 00:05:57.880
 of this central theme

00:05:57.880 --> 00:05:59.840
 that was foundational

00:05:59.840 --> 00:06:01.140
 in the life

00:06:01.140 --> 00:06:01.680
 and ministry

00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:02.240
 of Jesus.

00:06:03.500 --> 00:06:04.260
 We'll see

00:06:04.260 --> 00:06:04.880
 that it was

00:06:04.880 --> 00:06:06.040
 the motivation

00:06:06.040 --> 00:06:07.240
 for His coming

00:06:07.240 --> 00:06:07.800
 to earth.

00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:09.760
 It was the foundational

00:06:09.760 --> 00:06:10.340
 purpose

00:06:10.340 --> 00:06:11.360
 for Him

00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:12.560
 becoming a man

00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:13.399
 and going

00:06:13.399 --> 00:06:14.300
 to the cross.

00:06:15.500 --> 00:06:15.939
 Glory

00:06:15.939 --> 00:06:16.660
 was in view.

00:06:19.980 --> 00:06:20.579
 Let me read

00:06:20.579 --> 00:06:21.100
 the first

00:06:21.100 --> 00:06:22.060
 verse

00:06:22.060 --> 00:06:22.980
 just for our

00:06:22.980 --> 00:06:23.980
 instruction

00:06:23.980 --> 00:06:25.519
 and some context

00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:26.280
 so you can see.

00:06:26.980 --> 00:06:27.740
 We'll be working

00:06:27.740 --> 00:06:28.399
 through verses

00:06:28.399 --> 00:06:30.139
 27 to 36

00:06:30.139 --> 00:06:31.720
 and I'll be

00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:32.500
 I know there's

00:06:32.500 --> 00:06:33.300
 four points

00:06:33.300 --> 00:06:34.600
 in your outline

00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:35.000
 today.

00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:36.620
 I'm going to spend

00:06:36.620 --> 00:06:37.639
 the bulk of our time

00:06:37.639 --> 00:06:38.519
 probably 80%

00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:39.060
 of the morning

00:06:39.060 --> 00:06:40.379
 on point number one.

00:06:41.060 --> 00:06:41.500
 So don't

00:06:41.500 --> 00:06:42.459
 stress out

00:06:42.459 --> 00:06:43.019
 about the fact

00:06:43.019 --> 00:06:43.480
 that we still

00:06:43.480 --> 00:06:44.360
 have three points

00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:44.779
 to go

00:06:44.779 --> 00:06:45.720
 and the time

00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:46.500
 is almost up.

00:06:47.100 --> 00:06:47.279
 Okay?

00:06:48.180 --> 00:06:49.420
 I know if I were

00:06:49.420 --> 00:06:50.180
 there I would

00:06:50.180 --> 00:06:50.980
 feel the same way.

00:06:51.680 --> 00:06:53.100
 So I think

00:06:53.100 --> 00:06:53.459
 it's really

00:06:53.459 --> 00:06:54.660
 significant for us

00:06:54.660 --> 00:06:56.259
 to really

00:06:56.259 --> 00:06:57.279
 soak

00:06:57.279 --> 00:06:58.660
 and to bask

00:06:58.660 --> 00:07:00.180
 in the

00:07:00.180 --> 00:07:01.100
 important

00:07:01.100 --> 00:07:01.879
 and crucial

00:07:01.879 --> 00:07:02.540
 truth

00:07:02.540 --> 00:07:03.500
 of the glory

00:07:03.500 --> 00:07:03.899
 of God.

00:07:04.699 --> 00:07:05.660
 We have got

00:07:05.660 --> 00:07:06.540
 to understand

00:07:06.540 --> 00:07:07.620
 this as a people

00:07:07.620 --> 00:07:09.019
 and if we begin

00:07:09.019 --> 00:07:10.139
 to understand

00:07:10.139 --> 00:07:12.019
 the cross

00:07:12.019 --> 00:07:12.579
 and how it

00:07:12.579 --> 00:07:13.599
 relates to glory

00:07:13.599 --> 00:07:14.479
 it will shape

00:07:14.479 --> 00:07:15.299
 us as people.

00:07:16.039 --> 00:07:16.560
 It will not only

00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:17.459
 shape the lives

00:07:17.459 --> 00:07:17.979
 that we live

00:07:17.979 --> 00:07:18.899
 it will shape

00:07:18.899 --> 00:07:19.539
 the way we

00:07:19.539 --> 00:07:20.439
 present Jesus

00:07:20.439 --> 00:07:21.079
 to others.

00:07:22.879 --> 00:07:24.019
 So let me read

00:07:24.019 --> 00:07:25.019
 this first verse

00:07:25.019 --> 00:07:26.099
 and we'll get

00:07:26.099 --> 00:07:26.479
 started.

00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:28.719
 It says now

00:07:28.719 --> 00:07:29.519
 Jesus says

00:07:29.519 --> 00:07:30.240
 in verse 27

00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:31.139
 if you're

00:07:31.139 --> 00:07:32.199
 visiting with us

00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:32.859
 and you're using

00:07:32.859 --> 00:07:33.659
 a pew Bible

00:07:33.659 --> 00:07:34.299
 it's on page

00:07:34.299 --> 00:07:35.159
 899.

00:07:35.160 --> 00:07:37.760
 Now is my soul

00:07:37.760 --> 00:07:38.220
 troubled

00:07:38.220 --> 00:07:39.080
 Jesus says

00:07:39.080 --> 00:07:40.500
 and what shall

00:07:40.500 --> 00:07:41.020
 I say?

00:07:41.939 --> 00:07:42.920
 Father save me

00:07:42.920 --> 00:07:43.780
 from this hour

00:07:43.780 --> 00:07:45.840
 but for this

00:07:45.840 --> 00:07:46.620
 purpose I have

00:07:46.620 --> 00:07:47.640
 come to this hour

00:07:47.640 --> 00:07:49.760
 Father glorify

00:07:49.760 --> 00:07:51.140
 your name.

00:07:52.440 --> 00:07:53.120
 Then a voice

00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:54.140
 came from heaven

00:07:54.140 --> 00:07:56.440
 I have glorified

00:07:56.440 --> 00:07:56.720
 it

00:07:56.720 --> 00:07:57.900
 and I

00:07:57.900 --> 00:07:59.180
 will glorify

00:07:59.180 --> 00:07:59.580
 it

00:07:59.580 --> 00:08:00.360
 again.

00:08:01.760 --> 00:08:02.940
 First we see

00:08:02.940 --> 00:08:03.879
 in these first

00:08:03.879 --> 00:08:04.460
 few verses

00:08:04.459 --> 00:08:05.659
 I want to draw

00:08:05.659 --> 00:08:06.279
 our attention

00:08:06.279 --> 00:08:06.859
 to the fact

00:08:06.859 --> 00:08:07.819
 that the cross

00:08:07.819 --> 00:08:08.479
 reveals

00:08:08.479 --> 00:08:09.959
 the preeminence

00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:10.799
 of God.

00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:12.659
 The cross

00:08:12.659 --> 00:08:13.419
 reveals

00:08:13.419 --> 00:08:14.839
 the preeminence

00:08:14.839 --> 00:08:15.359
 of God.

00:08:15.939 --> 00:08:16.919
 He is supreme

00:08:16.919 --> 00:08:18.099
 He is ultimate

00:08:18.099 --> 00:08:19.339
 He is the only

00:08:19.339 --> 00:08:20.139
 one that matters

00:08:20.139 --> 00:08:20.799
 in your life.

00:08:22.179 --> 00:08:23.019
 He is central

00:08:23.019 --> 00:08:24.219
 He is foundational

00:08:24.219 --> 00:08:25.560
 He is everything

00:08:25.560 --> 00:08:27.060
 preeminent

00:08:27.060 --> 00:08:29.500
 and I want us

00:08:29.500 --> 00:08:29.919
 to see

00:08:29.919 --> 00:08:30.599
 the significance

00:08:30.599 --> 00:08:31.819
 of what Christ

00:08:31.819 --> 00:08:32.439
 has accomplished

00:08:32.439 --> 00:08:33.120
 for us

00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:33.879
 in leading

00:08:33.879 --> 00:08:34.519
 to glory.

00:08:36.580 --> 00:08:37.519
 Now just by way

00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:39.060
 of context

00:08:39.060 --> 00:08:39.460
 and helping

00:08:39.460 --> 00:08:39.980
 to develop

00:08:39.980 --> 00:08:41.179
 this theme

00:08:41.179 --> 00:08:41.580
 and helping

00:08:41.580 --> 00:08:42.060
 you see

00:08:42.060 --> 00:08:42.779
 how important

00:08:42.779 --> 00:08:43.220
 it is

00:08:43.220 --> 00:08:44.320
 for the gospel

00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:44.679
 writer

00:08:44.679 --> 00:08:45.220
 for John

00:08:45.220 --> 00:08:45.580
 himself

00:08:45.580 --> 00:08:46.620
 I want to

00:08:46.620 --> 00:08:46.980
 give us

00:08:46.980 --> 00:08:47.740
 some background

00:08:47.740 --> 00:08:48.379
 information

00:08:48.379 --> 00:08:49.279
 so bear with

00:08:49.279 --> 00:08:49.659
 me here.

00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:52.019
 I want us

00:08:52.019 --> 00:08:52.320
 to see

00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:53.639
 that God's

00:08:53.639 --> 00:08:54.039
 glory

00:08:54.039 --> 00:08:54.799
 is the main

00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:55.379
 theme

00:08:55.379 --> 00:08:57.519
 of John

00:08:57.519 --> 00:08:58.419
 and his

00:08:58.419 --> 00:08:59.039
 writings.

00:08:59.039 --> 00:09:01.319
 God's glory

00:09:01.319 --> 00:09:02.139
 is a theme

00:09:02.139 --> 00:09:02.539
 throughout

00:09:02.539 --> 00:09:03.099
 the gospel

00:09:03.099 --> 00:09:03.620
 of John.

00:09:04.199 --> 00:09:04.860
 We find

00:09:04.860 --> 00:09:05.139
 here

00:09:05.139 --> 00:09:06.500
 even in

00:09:06.500 --> 00:09:07.079
 John chapter

00:09:07.079 --> 00:09:07.480
 12

00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:08.559
 that glory

00:09:08.559 --> 00:09:09.519
 comes up

00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:10.199
 in every

00:09:10.199 --> 00:09:10.799
 section

00:09:10.799 --> 00:09:11.299
 of this

00:09:11.299 --> 00:09:11.699
 chapter.

00:09:13.179 --> 00:09:13.599
 In the

00:09:13.599 --> 00:09:14.360
 first few

00:09:14.360 --> 00:09:14.740
 verses

00:09:14.740 --> 00:09:15.860
 from verses

00:09:15.860 --> 00:09:16.980
 1 through

00:09:16.980 --> 00:09:17.439
 8

00:09:17.439 --> 00:09:18.559
 what is

00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:19.279
 taking place

00:09:19.279 --> 00:09:19.559
 there?

00:09:20.779 --> 00:09:21.199
 Jesus

00:09:21.199 --> 00:09:22.079
 shows up

00:09:22.079 --> 00:09:22.579
 in Bethany

00:09:22.579 --> 00:09:24.179
 and Mary

00:09:24.179 --> 00:09:24.980
 comes and

00:09:24.980 --> 00:09:25.980
 worships

00:09:25.980 --> 00:09:26.559
 Christ.

00:09:26.980 --> 00:09:27.360
 He is

00:09:27.360 --> 00:09:27.980
 preeminent

00:09:27.980 --> 00:09:28.500
 for her

00:09:28.500 --> 00:09:29.220
 and she

00:09:29.220 --> 00:09:30.060
 pours out

00:09:30.060 --> 00:09:30.899
 this costly

00:09:30.899 --> 00:09:31.399
 ointment

00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:32.039
 on his

00:09:32.039 --> 00:09:32.259
 feet.

00:09:32.399 --> 00:09:33.500
 She anoints

00:09:33.500 --> 00:09:34.200
 his body

00:09:34.200 --> 00:09:35.000
 for burial

00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:35.720
 without even

00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:36.180
 knowing that

00:09:36.180 --> 00:09:36.399
 she was

00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:37.120
 preparing him

00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:37.460
 for that

00:09:37.460 --> 00:09:37.820
 time.

00:09:39.779 --> 00:09:40.860
 She humbles

00:09:40.860 --> 00:09:41.580
 herself

00:09:41.580 --> 00:09:43.419
 and worships

00:09:43.419 --> 00:09:44.220
 her God.

00:09:45.460 --> 00:09:45.960
 He is

00:09:45.960 --> 00:09:46.659
 preeminent.

00:09:47.200 --> 00:09:47.480
 He is

00:09:47.480 --> 00:09:48.100
 worthy of

00:09:48.100 --> 00:09:48.460
 worship.

00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:49.639
 He is

00:09:49.639 --> 00:09:50.159
 worthy to

00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:50.800
 be adored

00:09:50.800 --> 00:09:52.840
 in glory

00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:53.360
 although it's

00:09:53.360 --> 00:09:53.980
 not mentioned

00:09:53.980 --> 00:09:54.659
 here in this

00:09:54.659 --> 00:09:55.180
 first few

00:09:55.180 --> 00:09:55.519
 verses

00:09:55.519 --> 00:09:56.700
 certainly is

00:09:56.700 --> 00:09:57.300
 the heartbeat

00:09:57.300 --> 00:09:57.840
 of Mary.

00:09:58.280 --> 00:09:59.100
 She recognizes

00:09:59.100 --> 00:09:59.860
 the glory

00:09:59.860 --> 00:10:00.580
 of Christ

00:10:00.580 --> 00:10:01.200
 and she

00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:01.740
 worships

00:10:01.740 --> 00:10:01.920
 him.

00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:03.640
 And then

00:10:03.640 --> 00:10:04.020
 in the

00:10:04.020 --> 00:10:04.879
 next several

00:10:04.879 --> 00:10:05.240
 verses

00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:05.840
 from verse

00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:06.340
 9

00:10:06.340 --> 00:10:07.080
 through

00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:08.480
 11

00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:10.560
 we find

00:10:10.560 --> 00:10:11.660
 this man

00:10:11.660 --> 00:10:12.259
 Lazarus

00:10:12.259 --> 00:10:12.640
 who had been

00:10:12.640 --> 00:10:13.180
 raised from

00:10:13.180 --> 00:10:13.540
 the dead.

00:10:14.420 --> 00:10:14.879
 And if you

00:10:14.879 --> 00:10:15.580
 remember from

00:10:15.580 --> 00:10:16.120
 our study

00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:16.580
 in chapter

00:10:16.580 --> 00:10:17.000
 11

00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:18.080
 you remember

00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:18.800
 that the

00:10:18.800 --> 00:10:19.500
 reason why

00:10:19.500 --> 00:10:20.300
 Lazarus was

00:10:20.300 --> 00:10:20.940
 raised from

00:10:20.940 --> 00:10:21.280
 the dead

00:10:21.280 --> 00:10:21.860
 was for

00:10:21.860 --> 00:10:22.580
 the glory

00:10:22.580 --> 00:10:23.300
 of Christ.

00:10:24.259 --> 00:10:24.720
 Flip back

00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:25.640
 just briefly

00:10:25.639 --> 00:10:26.679
 to chapter

00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:27.159
 11

00:10:27.159 --> 00:10:28.600
 and looking

00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:29.100
 at verse

00:10:29.100 --> 00:10:29.779
 4 it

00:10:29.779 --> 00:10:30.139
 says but

00:10:30.139 --> 00:10:30.699
 when Jesus

00:10:30.699 --> 00:10:31.299
 heard it

00:10:31.299 --> 00:10:32.100
 meaning he

00:10:32.100 --> 00:10:32.679
 heard about

00:10:32.679 --> 00:10:33.039
 the fact

00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:34.279
 that Lazarus

00:10:34.279 --> 00:10:35.199
 was ill

00:10:35.199 --> 00:10:37.240
 it says

00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:38.519
 this illness

00:10:38.519 --> 00:10:39.080
 does not

00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:39.580
 lead to

00:10:39.580 --> 00:10:39.899
 death

00:10:39.899 --> 00:10:40.659
 it is

00:10:40.659 --> 00:10:41.199
 for

00:10:41.199 --> 00:10:41.600
 the

00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:42.000

00:10:43.460 --> 00:10:44.279
 The glory

00:10:44.279 --> 00:10:45.699
 of God

00:10:45.699 --> 00:10:47.399
 so that

00:10:47.399 --> 00:10:47.840
 the son

00:10:47.840 --> 00:10:48.299
 of God

00:10:48.299 --> 00:10:48.860
 may be

00:10:48.860 --> 00:10:49.819
 glorified

00:10:49.819 --> 00:10:50.319
 through it.

00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:51.240
 I would

00:10:51.240 --> 00:10:51.759
 just encourage

00:10:51.759 --> 00:10:51.879
 you

00:10:51.879 --> 00:10:52.419
 underline

00:10:52.419 --> 00:10:52.899
 that word

00:10:52.899 --> 00:10:53.460
 the word

00:10:53.460 --> 00:10:54.120

00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:55.940
 the glory

00:10:55.940 --> 00:10:56.379
 of God

00:10:56.379 --> 00:10:56.779
 and that

00:10:56.779 --> 00:10:57.600

00:10:57.600 --> 00:10:57.820
 of God

00:10:57.820 --> 00:10:58.100
 might be

00:10:58.100 --> 00:10:58.720
 glorified

00:10:58.720 --> 00:10:59.220
 through it.

00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:00.159
 And then

00:11:00.159 --> 00:11:00.620
 in verse

00:11:00.620 --> 00:11:01.379
 40 of

00:11:01.379 --> 00:11:01.980
 chapter 11

00:11:01.980 --> 00:11:02.360
 notice

00:11:02.360 --> 00:11:03.120
 what Jesus

00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:03.980
 says to

00:11:03.980 --> 00:11:04.700
 Mary

00:11:04.700 --> 00:11:06.100
 he says

00:11:06.100 --> 00:11:06.779
 did I

00:11:06.779 --> 00:11:07.399
 not tell

00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:07.759
 you

00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:08.480
 that if

00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:08.639
 you

00:11:08.639 --> 00:11:09.259
 believed

00:11:09.259 --> 00:11:09.740
 you would

00:11:09.740 --> 00:11:10.159
 see

00:11:10.159 --> 00:11:10.560
 the

00:11:10.560 --> 00:11:10.919
 what?

00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:12.240
 The

00:11:12.240 --> 00:11:12.899
 glory

00:11:12.899 --> 00:11:14.299
 of God

00:11:14.299 --> 00:11:16.279
 Lazarus

00:11:16.279 --> 00:11:16.779
 was a

00:19:27.900 --> 00:19:28.380
 things

00:19:28.380 --> 00:19:29.600
 right

00:19:29.600 --> 00:19:30.100
 all

00:19:30.100 --> 00:19:30.300
 things

00:19:30.300 --> 00:19:30.600
 back

00:19:30.600 --> 00:19:30.779
 to

00:19:30.779 --> 00:19:31.220
 normal

00:19:31.220 --> 00:19:31.620
 the

00:19:31.620 --> 00:19:31.820
 things

00:19:31.820 --> 00:19:31.940
 that

00:19:31.940 --> 00:19:32.000
 had

00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:32.140
 been

00:19:32.140 --> 00:19:32.560
 broken

00:19:32.560 --> 00:19:32.880
 in

00:19:32.880 --> 00:19:33.019
 the

00:19:33.019 --> 00:19:33.380
 fall

00:19:33.380 --> 00:19:33.800
 when

00:19:33.800 --> 00:19:34.140
 Adam

00:19:34.140 --> 00:19:34.320
 and

00:19:34.320 --> 00:19:34.539
 Eve

00:19:34.539 --> 00:19:34.740
 had

00:19:34.740 --> 00:19:35.259
 sinned

00:19:35.259 --> 00:19:35.680
 now

00:19:35.680 --> 00:19:35.840
 in

00:19:35.840 --> 00:19:36.440
 restoring

00:19:36.440 --> 00:19:37.680
 creation

00:19:37.680 --> 00:19:38.100
 back

00:19:38.100 --> 00:19:38.279
 to

00:19:38.279 --> 00:19:38.440
 its

00:19:38.440 --> 00:19:38.759
 original

00:19:38.759 --> 00:19:39.300
 sense

00:19:39.300 --> 00:19:40.400
 in

00:19:40.400 --> 00:19:40.779
 fellowship

00:19:40.779 --> 00:19:41.000
 with

00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:41.120
 the

00:19:41.120 --> 00:19:41.440
 father

00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:43.039
 was

00:19:43.039 --> 00:19:43.259
 he

00:19:43.259 --> 00:19:44.200
 glorified

00:19:44.200 --> 00:19:44.900
 through

00:19:44.900 --> 00:19:45.220
 being

00:19:45.220 --> 00:19:45.440
 the

00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:45.880
 supreme

00:19:45.880 --> 00:19:46.380
 example

00:19:46.380 --> 00:19:46.600
 of

00:19:46.600 --> 00:19:47.039
 humility

00:19:47.039 --> 00:19:47.079
 glory

00:19:47.079 --> 00:19:48.700
 was

00:19:48.700 --> 00:19:48.940
 he

00:19:48.940 --> 00:19:49.720
 glorified

00:19:49.720 --> 00:19:49.879
 in

00:19:49.879 --> 00:19:50.319
 becoming

00:19:50.319 --> 00:19:50.839
 the

00:19:50.839 --> 00:19:51.180
 supreme

00:19:51.180 --> 00:19:51.700
 savior

00:19:51.700 --> 00:19:51.980
 and

00:19:51.980 --> 00:19:52.339
 king

00:19:52.339 --> 00:19:53.899
 would

00:19:53.899 --> 00:19:53.960
 he

00:19:53.960 --> 00:19:54.059
 be

00:19:54.059 --> 00:19:54.619
 glorified

00:19:54.619 --> 00:19:54.779
 as

00:19:54.779 --> 00:19:54.859
 a

00:19:54.859 --> 00:19:55.639
 reward

00:19:55.639 --> 00:19:55.879
 for

00:19:55.879 --> 00:19:56.019
 the

00:19:56.019 --> 00:19:56.500
 cross

00:19:56.500 --> 00:19:58.559
 why

00:19:58.559 --> 00:19:59.579
 does

00:19:59.579 --> 00:19:59.759
 the

00:19:59.759 --> 00:20:00.399
 cross

00:20:00.399 --> 00:20:01.220
 point

00:20:01.220 --> 00:20:01.779
 to

00:20:01.779 --> 00:20:02.200
 glory

00:20:02.200 --> 00:20:05.220
 certainly

00:20:05.220 --> 00:20:05.539
 as we

00:20:05.539 --> 00:20:05.779
 look

00:20:05.779 --> 00:20:06.180
 through

00:20:06.180 --> 00:20:06.980
 the

00:20:06.980 --> 00:20:07.379
 gospel

00:20:07.379 --> 00:20:07.639
 we

00:20:07.639 --> 00:20:08.200
 see

00:20:08.200 --> 00:20:08.639
 evidence

00:20:08.639 --> 00:20:08.859
 of

00:20:08.859 --> 00:20:09.220
 the

00:20:09.220 --> 00:20:09.559
 glory

00:20:09.559 --> 00:20:09.740
 of

00:20:09.740 --> 00:20:10.000
 Christ

00:20:10.000 --> 00:20:10.399
 showing

00:20:10.399 --> 00:20:10.700
 up

00:20:10.700 --> 00:20:10.839
 in

00:20:10.839 --> 00:20:11.339
 so

00:20:11.339 --> 00:20:11.519
 many

00:20:11.519 --> 00:20:11.759
 different

00:20:11.759 --> 00:20:12.279
 ways

00:20:12.279 --> 00:20:13.819
 we

00:20:13.819 --> 00:20:14.159
 see

00:20:14.159 --> 00:20:14.440
 that

00:20:14.440 --> 00:20:15.000
 God

00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:15.159
 was

00:20:15.159 --> 00:20:15.740
 glorified

00:20:15.740 --> 00:20:16.000
 through

00:20:16.000 --> 00:20:16.240
 the

00:20:16.240 --> 00:20:16.559
 works

00:20:16.559 --> 00:20:16.759
 of

00:20:16.759 --> 00:20:17.319
 Jesus

00:20:17.319 --> 00:20:18.039
 as

00:20:18.039 --> 00:20:18.319
 Jesus

00:20:18.319 --> 00:20:18.819
 performed

00:20:18.819 --> 00:20:19.319
 miracles

00:20:19.319 --> 00:20:19.640
 and

00:20:19.640 --> 00:20:20.519
 disciples

00:20:20.519 --> 00:20:20.900
 and

00:20:20.900 --> 00:20:21.339
 followers

00:20:21.339 --> 00:20:22.059
 believed

00:20:22.059 --> 00:20:22.619
 it says

00:20:22.619 --> 00:20:23.019
 the

00:20:23.019 --> 00:20:23.480
 glory

00:20:23.480 --> 00:20:23.700
 of

00:20:23.700 --> 00:20:23.980
 God

00:20:23.980 --> 00:20:24.180
 was

00:20:24.180 --> 00:20:24.920
 placed

00:20:24.920 --> 00:20:25.140
 into

00:20:25.140 --> 00:20:25.460
 view

00:20:25.460 --> 00:20:26.519
 and

00:20:26.519 --> 00:20:26.660
 as

00:20:26.660 --> 00:20:26.920
 Jesus

00:20:26.920 --> 00:20:27.160
 is

00:20:27.160 --> 00:20:27.519
 speaking

00:20:27.519 --> 00:20:27.779
 the

00:20:27.779 --> 00:20:28.119
 words

00:20:28.119 --> 00:20:28.259
 of

00:20:28.259 --> 00:20:28.379
 the

00:20:28.379 --> 00:20:28.740
 father

00:20:28.740 --> 00:20:29.480
 certainly

00:20:29.480 --> 00:20:29.720
 there

00:20:29.720 --> 00:20:29.859
 was

00:20:29.859 --> 00:20:30.039
 a

00:20:30.039 --> 00:20:30.339
 sense

00:20:30.339 --> 00:20:30.519
 in

00:20:30.519 --> 00:20:30.879
 which

00:20:30.879 --> 00:20:31.400
 the

00:20:31.400 --> 00:20:31.740
 glory

00:20:31.740 --> 00:20:31.920
 of

00:20:31.920 --> 00:20:32.180
 God

00:20:32.180 --> 00:20:32.559
 came

00:20:32.559 --> 00:20:32.779
 to

00:20:32.779 --> 00:20:33.099
 bear

00:20:33.099 --> 00:20:33.500
 in

00:20:33.500 --> 00:20:33.599
 the

00:20:33.599 --> 00:20:33.819
 hearts

00:20:33.819 --> 00:20:33.980
 of

00:20:33.980 --> 00:20:34.339
 people

00:20:34.339 --> 00:20:35.059
 that's

00:20:35.059 --> 00:20:35.160
 why

00:20:35.160 --> 00:20:35.460
 Jesus

00:20:35.460 --> 00:20:35.859
 talks

00:20:35.859 --> 00:20:36.140
 about

00:20:36.140 --> 00:20:36.619
 by

00:20:36.619 --> 00:20:37.460
 testifying

00:20:37.460 --> 00:20:37.680
 to

00:20:37.680 --> 00:20:37.839
 the

00:20:37.839 --> 00:20:38.680
 words

00:20:38.680 --> 00:20:39.279
 of

00:20:39.279 --> 00:20:39.420
 the

00:20:39.420 --> 00:20:39.779
 father

00:20:39.779 --> 00:20:41.720
 as

00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:42.039
 people

00:20:42.039 --> 00:20:42.660
 got

00:20:42.660 --> 00:20:42.839
 to

00:20:42.839 --> 00:20:43.180
 witness

00:20:43.180 --> 00:20:43.480
 his

00:20:43.480 --> 00:20:43.960
 life

00:20:43.960 --> 00:20:44.099
 and

00:20:44.099 --> 00:20:44.259
 to

00:20:44.259 --> 00:20:44.539
 see

00:20:44.539 --> 00:20:44.799
 the

00:20:44.799 --> 00:20:45.640
 character

00:20:46.759 --> 00:20:47.480
 compassion

00:20:47.480 --> 00:20:48.140
 his

00:20:48.140 --> 00:20:48.859
 tenderness

00:20:48.859 --> 00:20:49.200
 his

00:20:49.200 --> 00:20:49.839
 grace

00:20:49.839 --> 00:20:50.079
 and

00:20:50.079 --> 00:20:50.539
 mercy

00:20:50.539 --> 00:20:51.019
 his

00:20:51.019 --> 00:20:51.500
 forgiveness

00:20:51.500 --> 00:20:52.160
 his

00:20:52.160 --> 00:20:52.759
 power

00:20:52.759 --> 00:20:55.160
 God

00:20:55.160 --> 00:20:55.339
 was

00:20:55.339 --> 00:20:55.700
 certainly

00:20:55.700 --> 00:20:56.319
 glorified

00:20:56.319 --> 00:20:58.480
 all

00:20:58.480 --> 00:20:58.799
 throughout

00:20:58.799 --> 00:20:59.000
 the

00:20:59.000 --> 00:20:59.319
 ministry

00:20:59.319 --> 00:20:59.500
 of

00:20:59.500 --> 00:20:59.940
 Jesus

00:20:59.940 --> 00:21:01.599
 beautiful

00:21:01.599 --> 00:21:02.039
 paint

00:21:02.039 --> 00:21:02.539
 strokes

00:21:02.539 --> 00:21:03.279
 were

00:21:03.279 --> 00:21:03.599
 being

00:21:03.599 --> 00:21:03.940
 added

00:21:03.940 --> 00:21:04.140
 to

00:21:04.140 --> 00:21:04.279
 the

00:21:04.279 --> 00:21:04.779
 canvas

00:21:04.779 --> 00:21:05.960
 the

00:21:05.960 --> 00:21:06.440
 portrait

00:21:06.440 --> 00:21:06.700
 of

00:21:06.700 --> 00:21:07.019
 God

00:21:07.019 --> 00:21:07.200
 was

00:21:07.200 --> 00:21:07.440
 being

00:21:07.440 --> 00:21:07.940
 revealed

00:21:07.940 --> 00:21:08.359
 in

00:21:08.359 --> 00:21:08.539
 all

00:21:08.539 --> 00:21:08.740
 its

00:21:08.740 --> 00:21:09.339
 splendor

00:21:09.339 --> 00:21:09.519
 to

00:21:09.519 --> 00:21:10.000
 anyone

00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:10.539
 who

00:21:10.539 --> 00:21:10.720
 would

00:21:10.720 --> 00:21:11.119
 notice

00:21:11.119 --> 00:21:12.299
 the

00:21:12.299 --> 00:21:12.720
 image

00:21:12.720 --> 00:21:12.980
 of

00:21:12.980 --> 00:21:13.319
 God

00:21:13.319 --> 00:21:13.619
 was

00:21:13.619 --> 00:21:14.079
 breaking

00:21:14.079 --> 00:21:14.819
 through

00:21:14.819 --> 00:21:15.640
 with

00:21:15.640 --> 00:21:16.180
 clarity

00:21:16.180 --> 00:21:24.840
 and dimension and depth and wonder and fullness and balance and in beauty.

00:21:26.039 --> 00:21:31.980
 All of these glimmers of God coming through the portrait of Jesus

00:21:31.980 --> 00:21:37.900
 as he worked out and played out the life of God in the presence of others.

00:21:39.539 --> 00:21:45.660
 And throughout the scripture, the glory of God is always connected to the person of God.

00:21:46.180 --> 00:21:48.620
 It's always connected to the presence of God.

00:21:49.000 --> 00:21:51.920
 It's his expression of his quality and character.

00:21:53.299 --> 00:21:57.420
 Some examples might be Moses who in Exodus 33 says,

00:21:57.420 --> 00:21:58.940
 Show me your glory.

00:22:00.539 --> 00:22:04.480
 And God said, I will make all my goodness pass before you

00:22:04.480 --> 00:22:08.680
 and will proclaim before you my name, the Lord.

00:22:09.560 --> 00:22:12.240
 And I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious

00:22:12.240 --> 00:22:16.000
 and I will show mercy on whom I will show mercy.

00:22:16.900 --> 00:22:22.080
 And as we remember, God put Moses in the cleft of the rock

00:22:22.080 --> 00:22:27.039
 and let his presence pass before Moses and the glory of God was there.

00:22:28.180 --> 00:22:31.820
 Also in the construction of the tabernacle in Exodus chapter 40,

00:22:32.600 --> 00:22:32.980
 it says,

00:22:32.980 --> 00:22:38.500
 Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.

00:22:38.880 --> 00:22:43.839
 And Moses was not able to enter the tent of meeting because the cloud settled on it

00:22:43.839 --> 00:22:47.440
 and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.

00:22:47.440 --> 00:22:55.620
 In Isaiah 6 verses 1 to 4, Isaiah is having this vision of God and he's standing there.

00:22:55.700 --> 00:22:56.059
 He says,

00:22:56.059 --> 00:23:01.960
 I saw the Lord sitting on a throne high and lifted up and the train of his robe filled the temple.

00:23:02.960 --> 00:23:04.319
 Above him stood the seraphim.

00:23:04.720 --> 00:23:05.819
 Each had six wings.

00:23:05.980 --> 00:23:07.500
 With two he covered his face.

00:23:07.639 --> 00:23:08.899
 With two he covered his feet.

00:23:08.960 --> 00:23:09.779
 And with two he flew.

00:23:09.779 --> 00:23:12.779
 And one called to the other and said,

00:23:12.779 --> 00:23:15.779
 Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts.

00:23:16.079 --> 00:23:18.639
 The whole earth is full of his glory.

00:23:19.799 --> 00:23:23.700
 And the foundations of the threshold shook at the voice of him who called.

00:23:24.339 --> 00:23:26.000
 And the house was filled with smoke.

00:23:26.000 --> 00:23:29.779
 The glory of God.

00:23:29.859 --> 00:23:32.400
 His presence that was manifest in the Old Testament.

00:23:33.500 --> 00:23:40.960
 And the presence of God that showed up through Christ in demonstration of his works and his words and his life

00:23:40.960 --> 00:23:43.000
 was manifest through Jesus.

00:23:43.740 --> 00:23:47.039
 So that God showed through his life.

00:23:48.720 --> 00:23:54.880
 And so the cross brings God glory by showing himself to the full.

00:23:56.000 --> 00:24:03.339
 The cross is the fullest expression of who God is.

00:24:03.519 --> 00:24:07.859
 The portrait is complete through the cross and through his resurrection.

00:24:08.859 --> 00:24:16.140
 It is through the cross that we get the clearest picture and the fullest picture of who God is.

00:24:16.980 --> 00:24:18.859
 His justice and forgiveness.

00:24:19.400 --> 00:24:21.279
 His power and his humility.

00:24:21.759 --> 00:24:23.099
 His hatred of sin.

00:24:23.440 --> 00:24:25.980
 And yet forgiving and forgiveness in Christ.

00:24:26.000 --> 00:24:28.259
 His sovereignty over all.

00:24:28.559 --> 00:24:30.200
 And yet his submission to authority.

00:24:30.599 --> 00:24:31.500
 His righteousness.

00:24:32.119 --> 00:24:33.019
 And yet his mercy.

00:24:33.420 --> 00:24:34.220
 His wrath.

00:24:34.559 --> 00:24:35.640
 And yet his patience.

00:24:36.220 --> 00:24:37.059
 His purity.

00:24:37.539 --> 00:24:40.940
 And yet his willingness to endure the shame of sin.

00:24:41.240 --> 00:24:43.319
 And taking it on himself.

00:24:44.279 --> 00:24:45.599
 His eternality.

00:24:46.079 --> 00:24:49.400
 And yet his willingness to be subjected to frailty.

00:24:49.400 --> 00:24:50.660
 We see in the cross.

00:24:50.660 --> 00:24:54.320
 We see in the cross the fullest portrait of who God is.

00:24:54.320 --> 00:24:56.720
 Showing up in full view.

00:24:57.380 --> 00:24:59.840
 And calling us to the glory of God.

00:25:00.560 --> 00:25:05.180
 Calling us to understand who he is in his mercy and goodness.

00:25:06.180 --> 00:25:11.360
 So that Christ could show forth God in every way.

00:25:11.359 --> 00:25:16.679
 Jesus put God on display through the cross.

00:25:16.679 --> 00:25:18.879
 In all his splendor.

00:25:19.879 --> 00:25:24.299
 The portrait of God was seen in his fullest expression through the cross.

00:25:24.839 --> 00:25:26.759
 So that one commentator writes,

00:25:26.759 --> 00:25:30.519
 God receives glory when his attributes are manifested.

00:25:32.220 --> 00:25:36.720
 And nowhere was his magnanimous love for helpless sinners.

00:25:37.319 --> 00:25:39.220
 His holy wrath against sin.

00:25:39.500 --> 00:25:40.740
 His perfect justice.

00:25:41.099 --> 00:25:42.240
 His redeeming grace.

00:25:42.640 --> 00:25:43.799
 His forgiving mercy.

00:25:44.079 --> 00:25:48.759
 Or his infinite wisdom was more clearly seen than in the substitutionary,

00:25:49.119 --> 00:25:51.700
 propitiatory death of Jesus Christ.

00:25:51.700 --> 00:25:56.620
 It is in the cross that we behold God.

00:25:57.420 --> 00:26:00.580
 And it should call us to marvel at who he is.

00:26:02.700 --> 00:26:06.840
 Christ's death was preeminently for God's glory.

00:26:08.319 --> 00:26:14.380
 And so as we look at the cross, we remember that the cross was for God.

00:26:15.180 --> 00:26:18.680
 The cross was to show the wonder of God.

00:26:18.680 --> 00:26:22.900
 To call attention to the love of Christ.

00:26:23.560 --> 00:26:25.039
 To the justice of Christ.

00:26:25.180 --> 00:26:26.480
 To the truth of Christ.

00:26:26.600 --> 00:26:28.080
 To the forgiveness of Christ.

00:26:30.120 --> 00:26:35.120
 This picture of the glory of God culminates on the cross.

00:26:36.820 --> 00:26:41.880
 So this truth should lead us to delight in the glory of him.

00:26:41.880 --> 00:26:50.700
 And God's glory, point number three, God's glory needs to be the supreme affection of the saints.

00:26:52.700 --> 00:26:58.020
 Since God's ultimate goal was in the cross was to glorify himself.

00:26:59.460 --> 00:27:01.480
 To make much of himself.

00:27:02.020 --> 00:27:05.220
 To show the fullest portrait of himself to the world.

00:27:05.220 --> 00:27:14.940
 In the same way that purpose of Christ in the cross must drive us as individuals.

00:27:16.039 --> 00:27:21.420
 It must drive our hearts to bow in worship to the glory of God through the cross.

00:27:22.420 --> 00:27:25.400
 To see him is truly glorious.

00:27:25.400 --> 00:27:35.580
 To glorify him means it relentlessly destroys glory in me.

00:27:36.900 --> 00:27:38.060
 Let me say that again.

00:27:39.720 --> 00:27:51.320
 The cross removes any perspective that would raise my value in the image of this world.

00:27:51.319 --> 00:27:57.700
 And exalts the portrait of Christ in the portrait of God as being all glorious.

00:27:58.980 --> 00:28:01.019
 There is a movement today.

00:28:01.159 --> 00:28:02.740
 There is an undercurrent today.

00:28:03.179 --> 00:28:04.460
 In our music.

00:28:04.740 --> 00:28:05.659
 In our media.

00:28:06.139 --> 00:28:08.659
 In the books and literature that are being produced.

00:28:09.359 --> 00:28:14.759
 That would seek to convey that the cross proves that I can make much of myself.

00:28:14.759 --> 00:28:23.759
 They would say that Christ's priceless sacrifice shows how much he values me.

00:28:25.119 --> 00:28:29.819
 They would say that Christ's love on the cross demonstrates the length to which he will go.

00:28:29.960 --> 00:28:33.220
 To show that I am the object of his love.

00:28:34.500 --> 00:28:36.180
 And how much I mean to him.

00:28:36.180 --> 00:28:42.940
 But the cross was never intended to convey the greatness of me.

00:28:43.519 --> 00:28:45.259
 But the greatness of him.

00:28:47.900 --> 00:28:50.799
 And I gave this video as an illustration.

00:28:51.900 --> 00:28:56.240
 The practical outworking of what that looks like.

00:28:56.240 --> 00:29:04.500
 No one would watch this video and say that Jessica's stepdad was worthy of forgiveness.

00:29:05.259 --> 00:29:08.200
 Because he added some value to the table.

00:29:10.279 --> 00:29:13.319
 He would say he deserves to be locked away.

00:29:13.700 --> 00:29:15.420
 He deserves to be forgotten.

00:29:15.859 --> 00:29:18.140
 He deserves maybe even to die for what he did.

00:29:19.720 --> 00:29:21.579
 It doesn't even exalt Jessica.

00:29:21.579 --> 00:29:24.919
 Jessica deflects all the glory to Christ.

00:29:25.259 --> 00:29:26.599
 In working through her heart.

00:29:26.879 --> 00:29:29.259
 To help her to do what she could not do on her own.

00:29:30.559 --> 00:29:33.500
 And that is to operate in the strength of the Holy Spirit.

00:29:33.859 --> 00:29:36.439
 And to convey the love of Christ.

00:29:37.079 --> 00:29:39.519
 The love that was empowered by the Holy Spirit.

00:29:39.659 --> 00:29:40.659
 To convey forgiveness.

00:29:41.059 --> 00:29:42.919
 To someone who is truly unworthy.

00:29:43.179 --> 00:29:44.119
 In every way.

00:29:46.399 --> 00:29:47.839
 And through that example.

00:29:48.619 --> 00:29:50.339
 God receives glory.

00:29:50.339 --> 00:29:53.059
 Because through that example.

00:29:53.399 --> 00:29:57.779
 Only God can accomplish that kind of forgiveness.

00:29:59.639 --> 00:30:04.419
 I appreciate what one commentator says.

00:30:04.599 --> 00:30:11.259
 And I've actually provided several of these in the foyer out there.

00:30:12.079 --> 00:30:16.039
 It's chapter 10 of John Piper's book, Don't Waste Your Life.

00:30:16.119 --> 00:30:17.699
 It's a free resource online.

00:30:17.700 --> 00:30:20.519
 But I printed several of these.

00:30:21.120 --> 00:30:23.980
 And they're on the table out there.

00:30:25.279 --> 00:30:28.340
 Let me read for you just a couple of snippets of this.

00:30:28.420 --> 00:30:30.319
 To help reinforce this in your mind.

00:30:32.880 --> 00:30:34.299
 John Piper puts it this way.

00:30:34.380 --> 00:30:34.720
 He says,

00:30:34.720 --> 00:30:36.420
 Oh God.

00:30:36.420 --> 00:30:39.920
 You know I tremble now for fear.

00:30:40.079 --> 00:30:46.900
 That many of the ones who call you Lord have made themselves the prize and glory of your grace.

00:30:47.740 --> 00:30:52.339
 How many Lord have made your love a witness to their worth.

00:30:52.339 --> 00:30:54.859
 There was a time.

00:30:54.859 --> 00:30:56.519
 Love felt like this.

00:30:57.039 --> 00:31:02.279
 When I could not conceive of any greater joy than the honor of my name.

00:31:03.159 --> 00:31:11.059
 When I was so absorbed in me that it was inconceivable for joy to rise by admiring rather than being admired.

00:31:11.059 --> 00:31:17.980
 But now, thanks to your mighty grace, I see it as an invitation.

00:31:19.119 --> 00:31:20.559
 And so it came into the world.

00:31:20.859 --> 00:31:24.179
 This great inversion we call sin.

00:31:25.480 --> 00:31:28.779
 And love was made to stand now on its head.

00:31:29.960 --> 00:31:30.799
 I grieve Lord.

00:31:31.279 --> 00:31:32.519
 Just to put it into words.

00:31:32.700 --> 00:31:34.319
 But here it is with the shame.

00:31:34.319 --> 00:31:39.179
 Your love no longer means that you do what you must to make yourself our joy.

00:31:39.700 --> 00:31:44.679
 It has come to mean that you do what you must so that we can feel our worth.

00:31:45.859 --> 00:31:48.099
 It was a sad exchange.

00:31:48.819 --> 00:31:49.819
 And doubly so.

00:31:50.799 --> 00:31:58.000
 Not only did it rob our souls of that one joy that you designed to satisfy us for eternity.

00:31:58.159 --> 00:31:58.759
 But worse.

00:31:58.759 --> 00:32:04.379
 It robbed you of your honored place as treasure of our lives.

00:32:05.640 --> 00:32:08.680
 How could I, Lord, have ever been so blind?

00:32:09.379 --> 00:32:14.400
 To think that being loved by you means making much of me and not yourself.

00:32:15.480 --> 00:32:22.339
 How could I put my eye to some great telescope designed to make me glad with visions of the galaxies?

00:32:22.339 --> 00:32:27.099
 And notice in the glass a dim reflection of my face and say,

00:32:27.419 --> 00:32:28.379
 Now I am happy.

00:32:28.480 --> 00:32:29.159
 I am loved.

00:32:30.379 --> 00:32:32.919
 How could I stand before the setting sun?

00:32:34.439 --> 00:32:39.079
 Between the mountain range and the vastness of the sea

00:32:39.079 --> 00:32:44.959
 and think that the everlasting joy should come from making much of me.

00:32:44.960 --> 00:32:48.660
 The glory of the cross.

00:32:49.360 --> 00:32:55.279
 The purpose of the cross was so that we would make much of him.

00:32:58.160 --> 00:33:00.779
 And as the object of his love.

00:33:02.059 --> 00:33:04.100
 The objects who were unworthy.

00:33:05.240 --> 00:33:07.960
 Objects who were enemies and rebels.

00:33:08.620 --> 00:33:10.660
 Hostile against our God.

00:33:10.980 --> 00:33:13.220
 Should elevate our view of him.

00:33:13.440 --> 00:33:14.640
 Not our view of us.

00:33:15.960 --> 00:33:18.840
 Oh, the goodness and grace of our God.

00:33:20.519 --> 00:33:24.259
 Now, running through the next three points.

00:33:29.200 --> 00:33:31.079
 But that is a background.

00:33:32.299 --> 00:33:33.620
 Most of the work has been done.

00:33:34.539 --> 00:33:38.019
 Because what we see as playing out in the rest of this passage

00:33:38.019 --> 00:33:42.259
 is we see the evidence of what the cross did.

00:33:42.259 --> 00:33:45.240
 What it accomplished in showing the glory of Christ.

00:33:46.480 --> 00:33:52.599
 First, we see in verse 31 that the cross reveals the purity and the power of God.

00:33:53.359 --> 00:33:56.039
 Reveals the purity and the power of God.

00:33:56.539 --> 00:33:58.819
 Notice in verse 31, Jesus says,

00:33:58.819 --> 00:34:02.279
 This voice has come for your sake, not for mine.

00:34:02.279 --> 00:34:05.579
 Now is the judgment of this world.

00:34:06.039 --> 00:34:09.400
 Now will the ruler of this world be cast out.

00:34:10.619 --> 00:34:13.799
 There should be nothing that should delight our heart more.

00:34:13.800 --> 00:34:16.460
 For those who are persecuted.

00:34:16.460 --> 00:34:20.519
 For those, excuse me, who feel like you're unjustly treated.

00:34:21.260 --> 00:34:24.880
 To know that the judgment has come.

00:34:25.019 --> 00:34:31.519
 That Christ on the cross declared that justice would happen.

00:34:31.519 --> 00:34:35.199
 Sin would be dealt with.

00:34:36.259 --> 00:34:37.800
 It would not go unpunished.

00:34:38.139 --> 00:34:40.059
 It was punished in Christ.

00:34:40.900 --> 00:34:45.139
 And it was a declarative statement that the sentence had been passed.

00:34:46.159 --> 00:34:48.179
 That God would judge sin.

00:34:48.460 --> 00:34:50.259
 It would not go forgotten.

00:34:52.460 --> 00:34:57.519
 So that Paul, in encouraging and commending the church of Philippi,

00:34:57.920 --> 00:35:00.259
 says this in Philippians 1, 27 and 28.

00:35:00.360 --> 00:35:00.940
 He says this,

00:35:00.940 --> 00:35:04.500
 Only let your life be worthy of the gospel.

00:35:05.179 --> 00:35:07.780
 So that whether I come and see you or I'm absent,

00:35:08.039 --> 00:35:11.400
 I may hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit,

00:35:11.579 --> 00:35:14.220
 with one mind, striving side by side,

00:35:15.159 --> 00:35:17.200
 and not frightened in anything by your opponents.

00:35:17.559 --> 00:35:21.980
 This is a clear sign to them of their destruction,

00:35:22.579 --> 00:35:25.880
 but of your salvation and that from God.

00:35:26.920 --> 00:35:28.760
 In enduring hardship,

00:35:28.760 --> 00:35:37.980
 we are acting with Christ to declare that God will take care of sin one day.

00:35:37.980 --> 00:35:42.800
 He's taken care of sin for us who are in Christ,

00:35:42.800 --> 00:35:43.840
 who have been forgiven.

00:35:44.940 --> 00:35:46.659
 And because He is holy,

00:35:46.820 --> 00:35:48.059
 because He is pure,

00:35:48.300 --> 00:35:49.559
 He will judge sin.

00:35:50.860 --> 00:35:53.099
 And we can rest in the fact that Christ,

00:35:53.260 --> 00:35:55.119
 in being punished on the cross,

00:35:55.440 --> 00:35:59.400
 in carrying the penalty for sin on Himself that led to death,

00:35:59.400 --> 00:36:02.720
 helps us to believe,

00:36:02.720 --> 00:36:03.639
 to be convinced,

00:36:03.639 --> 00:36:04.539
 to be assured,

00:36:04.539 --> 00:36:06.740
 that He will continue to be faithful,

00:36:07.119 --> 00:36:08.820
 to judge sin in the future.

00:36:09.940 --> 00:36:12.740
 He is judge and justifier.

00:36:13.539 --> 00:36:14.460
 We can trust Him.

00:36:14.460 --> 00:36:17.780
 But also the power of God that was displayed to the cross.

00:36:18.340 --> 00:36:19.360
 Satan was defeated.

00:36:20.619 --> 00:36:22.500
 His schemes were dismantled.

00:36:22.920 --> 00:36:24.840
 His desires were destroyed.

00:36:25.380 --> 00:36:27.780
 His plan to disrupt the purpose of creation,

00:36:28.420 --> 00:36:30.760
 Christ demolished through the cross.

00:36:32.679 --> 00:36:34.400
 In Colossians chapter 2,

00:36:35.360 --> 00:36:37.240
 Paul brings this into perspective.

00:36:37.380 --> 00:36:37.780
 He says,

00:36:37.780 --> 00:36:42.060
 Jesus set all of these legal demands aside.

00:36:42.340 --> 00:36:43.720
 He nailed them to the cross.

00:36:44.040 --> 00:36:46.060
 He disarmed the rulers and authorities

00:36:46.060 --> 00:36:48.100
 and put them to open shame

00:36:48.100 --> 00:36:52.100
 by triumphing over them in Him,

00:36:52.360 --> 00:36:53.019
 in Christ.

00:36:54.080 --> 00:36:56.980
 Jesus states categorically

00:36:56.980 --> 00:36:58.720
 that He is authority.

00:36:59.060 --> 00:36:59.700
 He is ruler.

00:36:59.980 --> 00:37:03.580
 He is king over the visible and invisible parts of this world.

00:37:04.540 --> 00:37:06.100
 Christ triumphed through the cross,

00:37:06.099 --> 00:37:07.940
 destroying death and sin

00:37:07.940 --> 00:37:10.839
 and all the enemies that we would be confronted with.

00:37:10.839 --> 00:37:12.460
 Jesus was victorious.

00:37:13.699 --> 00:37:16.259
 Next week we're going to deal more with this third point.

00:37:16.860 --> 00:37:18.960
 The cross reveals the plan of God.

00:37:20.000 --> 00:37:22.339
 The cross reveals the plan of God.

00:37:22.440 --> 00:37:24.539
 We find in verse 32 and 33,

00:37:25.460 --> 00:37:26.219
 Jesus says,

00:37:27.019 --> 00:37:29.460
 And I, when I am lifted up from the earth,

00:37:29.679 --> 00:37:31.739
 will draw all people to myself.

00:37:32.719 --> 00:37:35.059
 That plan involved Jesus' death.

00:37:35.059 --> 00:37:37.259
 He alludes to it several times

00:37:37.259 --> 00:37:38.599
 through His ministry to the disciples.

00:37:39.219 --> 00:37:40.920
 He knows exactly what's coming.

00:37:41.539 --> 00:37:44.239
 He's told them definitively what to expect.

00:37:44.699 --> 00:37:48.340
 He knows that it will include several aspects.

00:37:49.000 --> 00:37:51.400
 It will include Him being handed over to the Gentiles,

00:37:51.739 --> 00:37:52.519
 being mocked,

00:37:52.759 --> 00:37:53.759
 being shamefully treated,

00:37:54.119 --> 00:37:54.980
 being spit upon,

00:37:55.259 --> 00:37:56.000
 being flogged,

00:37:56.199 --> 00:37:56.759
 being killed,

00:37:56.900 --> 00:37:58.360
 and then rising again the third day.

00:37:59.139 --> 00:38:02.659
 He was not ignorant about the horror of the cross.

00:38:02.659 --> 00:38:05.759
 And we find here even in verse 27

00:38:05.759 --> 00:38:09.259
 that His soul was troubled because of it.

00:38:11.399 --> 00:38:14.359
 But because of courage and obedience

00:38:14.359 --> 00:38:16.420
 and abounding love and forgiveness,

00:38:16.799 --> 00:38:19.159
 Jesus moved to the cross.

00:38:19.659 --> 00:38:20.899
 It was part of the plan.

00:38:22.099 --> 00:38:23.039
 He was willing to die.

00:38:24.119 --> 00:38:25.940
 But as we'll look at more next week,

00:38:26.059 --> 00:38:27.960
 the point of His dying was so that

00:38:27.960 --> 00:38:30.059
 He could draw all men to Himself.

00:38:30.059 --> 00:38:35.360
 Draw all men to Himself.

00:38:35.519 --> 00:38:38.539
 Jesus came to seek and to save the lost.

00:38:39.639 --> 00:38:40.539
 What does this mean?

00:38:40.920 --> 00:38:42.980
 Who is the all that Jesus is referring to?

00:38:43.880 --> 00:38:47.539
 Who is the all that Jesus will draw to Himself?

00:38:47.860 --> 00:38:48.759
 Come back next week.

00:38:48.820 --> 00:38:49.900
 We'll talk about that some more.

00:38:51.480 --> 00:38:53.059
 Is it all men universally?

00:38:53.860 --> 00:38:56.500
 Is it all men symbolically?

00:38:56.500 --> 00:38:59.340
 Is it all men exclusively?

00:39:00.980 --> 00:39:03.500
 We can see here in verse 37

00:39:03.500 --> 00:39:05.239
 a hint of the answer.

00:39:06.159 --> 00:39:06.440
 It says,

00:39:06.719 --> 00:39:09.000
 Though He had done so many signs before them,

00:39:09.739 --> 00:39:12.820
 they still did not believe in Him.

00:39:14.000 --> 00:39:16.920
 So we know that this drawing of all men

00:39:16.920 --> 00:39:19.619
 is not drawing of all men universally.

00:39:20.260 --> 00:39:21.579
 So come back next week

00:39:21.579 --> 00:39:22.760
 and we'll talk about that some more.

00:39:23.139 --> 00:39:24.440
 What is that about?

00:39:24.440 --> 00:39:25.679
 And finally,

00:39:25.940 --> 00:39:28.400
 the cross reveals the patience of God.

00:39:29.460 --> 00:39:31.019
 And Jesus concludes this passage

00:39:31.019 --> 00:39:34.900
 by calling His hearers to repentance.

00:39:35.740 --> 00:39:40.139
 By calling His hearers to confess who He is

00:39:40.139 --> 00:39:41.220
 and to believe in Him.

00:39:42.220 --> 00:39:44.579
 The light is among you, He says in verse 35.

00:39:45.440 --> 00:39:46.700
 For a little while longer,

00:39:46.960 --> 00:39:48.220
 walk while you have the light,

00:39:48.460 --> 00:39:49.860
 lest darkness overtake you.

00:39:50.380 --> 00:39:51.880
 The one who walks in darkness

00:39:51.880 --> 00:39:53.579
 does not know where He is going.

00:39:54.340 --> 00:39:55.640
 While you have the light,

00:39:55.780 --> 00:39:57.019
 believe in the light

00:39:57.019 --> 00:40:00.220
 that you may become sons of light.

00:40:01.720 --> 00:40:03.720
 As we draw this service to a close,

00:40:03.820 --> 00:40:06.220
 I'll ask the praise team to come up.

00:40:08.320 --> 00:40:09.460
 And this morning,

00:40:09.599 --> 00:40:11.840
 as we wrap up our service,

00:40:12.059 --> 00:40:13.720
 my call to you,

00:40:13.719 --> 00:40:17.239
 to you who are here and listening

00:40:17.239 --> 00:40:19.279
 to this message this morning,

00:40:20.579 --> 00:40:22.480
 the call is,

00:40:24.359 --> 00:40:25.759
 Jesus is near.

00:40:27.079 --> 00:40:30.219
 Jesus has revealed His truth to you.

00:40:31.519 --> 00:40:33.239
 Today is the day of salvation.

00:40:34.859 --> 00:40:36.059
 Will you respond

00:40:36.059 --> 00:40:38.219
 while the light is near?

00:40:38.219 --> 00:40:42.199
 We find in this next passage,

00:40:42.399 --> 00:40:45.179
 Jesus probably having been teaching

00:40:45.179 --> 00:40:46.299
 every day in the temple.

00:40:47.500 --> 00:40:49.399
 We find at the end of verse 36,

00:40:49.519 --> 00:40:51.159
 when Jesus had said these things,

00:40:51.419 --> 00:40:54.279
 He departed and hid Himself from them.

00:40:57.779 --> 00:40:59.719
 Jesus is giving us an opportunity

00:40:59.719 --> 00:41:03.379
 to respond to the message of the gospel.

00:41:04.619 --> 00:41:06.179
 Will you respond today,

00:41:06.179 --> 00:41:07.259
 if you haven't already,

00:41:08.179 --> 00:41:09.599
 and come to faith in Him,

00:41:10.239 --> 00:41:12.799
 to make Him glorious in your life,

00:41:12.879 --> 00:41:14.960
 to make Him Lord and Savior.

00:41:15.960 --> 00:41:17.819
 We would love to introduce you

00:41:17.819 --> 00:41:19.879
 to that friend,

00:41:20.079 --> 00:41:21.440
 to that deliverer,

00:41:21.940 --> 00:41:23.659
 to that rescuer of the soul.

00:41:24.819 --> 00:41:26.480
 We would love to introduce you

00:41:26.480 --> 00:41:27.480
 to Jesus this morning.

00:41:28.219 --> 00:41:29.519
 So let's stand as we sing

00:41:29.519 --> 00:41:31.379
 and let's praise.
