WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.480 That he knows he can't stand before him and survive. 00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:08.320 See, what this psalm does for us is that no matter our current circumstances, 00:00:08.960 --> 00:00:11.880 it raises our eyes to our present situation. 00:00:12.640 --> 00:00:16.460 And it forces us to look at an even greater situation than what all of us are facing. 00:00:17.980 --> 00:00:19.600 See, suffering can cause us to curl in. 00:00:19.859 --> 00:00:21.760 This psalm causes us to look up. 00:00:24.560 --> 00:00:26.460 And the world encourages us to look in. 00:00:26.460 --> 00:00:26.519 Thank you. 00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:32.100 I'm a big fan of rugby. 00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:36.640 And we enjoyed the Lions Test Series against South Africa. 00:00:37.120 --> 00:00:39.060 I don't know if you are into rugby and watched any of those. 00:00:39.420 --> 00:00:42.160 And I was reminded of the film Invictus you might have seen, 00:00:42.519 --> 00:00:45.480 about the 1995 Rugby World Cup in South Africa. 00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:51.780 And in that poem, in that film, there's a famous poem called Invictus by William Ernest Henley. 00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:54.280 Let me read that poem for us. 00:00:56.460 --> 00:01:00.640 Out of the night that covers me, black as the pit from pole to pole, 00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:04.760 I thank whatever gods may be for my unconquerable soul. 00:01:05.420 --> 00:01:09.480 In the fell clutch of circumstance, I have not winced nor cried aloud. 00:01:10.060 --> 00:01:13.760 Under the bludgeonings of chance, my head is bloody but unbowed. 00:01:14.519 --> 00:01:18.579 Beyond this place of wrath and tears looms but the horror of the shade. 00:01:19.019 --> 00:01:22.700 And yet the menace of the years finds and shall find me unafraid. 00:01:22.700 --> 00:01:27.980 It matters not how straight the gate, how charged the punishments the scroll. 00:01:28.659 --> 00:01:30.500 I am the master of my fate. 00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:32.879 I am the captain of my soul. 00:01:35.520 --> 00:01:38.060 Starts off similar to Psalm 130, he's in the darkness. 00:01:39.500 --> 00:01:41.100 It's radically different, isn't it? 00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:42.879 Look inside. 00:01:43.600 --> 00:01:44.600 Find the strength within you. 00:01:44.659 --> 00:01:45.859 I am the captain of my own soul. 00:01:45.939 --> 00:01:47.920 I am the master of my fate. 00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:52.299 Just think of what that poet says. 00:01:52.379 --> 00:01:55.260 It matters not how charged with punishments the scroll. 00:01:57.219 --> 00:01:59.099 This psalmist is telling us something totally different. 00:01:59.180 --> 00:01:59.840 It really matters. 00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:02.700 It really matters the charges on the scroll. 00:02:04.299 --> 00:02:07.340 Because when we stand before God, that scroll will be unraveled 00:02:07.340 --> 00:02:10.500 and there will be a charge sheet even greater than you and I could ever dare believe. 00:02:10.900 --> 00:02:12.620 And we will realize, if we weren't sure prior, 00:02:13.139 --> 00:02:14.599 that we are not the master of our fate. 00:02:15.099 --> 00:02:16.560 We are not the captain of our soul. 00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:21.539 Because as he says, if you, Lord, kept a record of sins, 00:02:22.580 --> 00:02:24.920 Lord, who could stand? 00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:29.240 Let me drive that home just further. 00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:30.199 Just think of one sin. 00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:30.759 One sin. 00:02:32.300 --> 00:02:33.480 Perhaps it's impure thinking. 00:02:34.640 --> 00:02:37.420 Perhaps it's every time choosing comfort over serving someone. 00:02:37.939 --> 00:02:40.280 Perhaps it's every time you get angry when you know that you shouldn't. 00:02:40.340 --> 00:02:41.340 Just think of that one sin. 00:02:41.340 --> 00:02:45.460 Just imagine that being marked down every time. 00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:47.759 Again and again and again. 00:02:50.259 --> 00:02:51.500 Who, Lord, could stand? 00:02:53.920 --> 00:02:55.840 It's a desperate situation, isn't it? 00:02:57.599 --> 00:02:59.620 Lord, from the depths I cry to you for mercy. 00:02:59.939 --> 00:03:01.060 Because I can't stand. 00:03:01.060 --> 00:03:07.539 See, verse 3 is the issue for every person who doesn't follow Jesus. 00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:13.599 Some, like my friends, might say that their sin is what makes them them. 00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:21.240 But in the still of the night, when we truly look within at ourselves, 00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:26.579 if we're not ashamed of our sin, then we are in such deep darkness that we have to cry out for mercy. 00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:32.879 But, 00:03:33.879 --> 00:03:38.620 praise the Lord, this psalm doesn't end in verse 3. 00:03:38.620 --> 00:03:42.219 Look down at verse 4. 00:03:44.640 --> 00:03:47.180 But with you there is forgiveness. 00:03:48.980 --> 00:03:52.300 So that we, with reverence, can serve you. 00:03:52.480 --> 00:03:54.340 But with you there is forgiveness. 00:03:57.140 --> 00:03:58.659 Praise the Lord for verse 4. 00:03:59.040 --> 00:04:01.700 If you, Lord, kept a record of sins, Lord, who could stand? 00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:03.200 But with you there's forgiveness. 00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:08.979 We have real guilt, real responsibility for our sins. 00:04:09.119 --> 00:04:12.199 But with the Lord there is real forgiveness. 00:04:15.359 --> 00:04:21.180 Now the psalmist can't and doesn't really know how that's truly possible, how this works. 00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:23.039 But we know. 00:04:24.379 --> 00:04:28.199 Perhaps you're here and you aren't a Christian and you don't really know how it works either. 00:04:28.339 --> 00:04:29.699 Well, let me tell you. 00:04:29.699 --> 00:04:38.360 When the God who the psalmist is off to see, when this God in whom there is forgiveness came to earth in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ, 00:04:38.740 --> 00:04:39.740 what did he do? 00:04:41.620 --> 00:04:42.860 Well, he bore the punishment. 00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:45.680 He took the responsibility for our sins. 00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:51.000 He took the blame, the punishment that we deserve, so that we instead can be forgiven. 00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:55.540 Does that not make you want to praise God? 00:04:56.839 --> 00:05:01.040 Cause your heart to erupt with, Lord, thank you for the forgiveness there is. 00:05:02.139 --> 00:05:03.459 Makes a psalmist want to. 00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:06.100 But we'll come on to that in a moment. 00:05:07.620 --> 00:05:11.259 See, now I think if verse 3 is the main issue for non-Christians, 00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:14.819 I've got a hunch that verse 4 is probably the main issue for Christians. 00:05:14.819 --> 00:05:21.519 How quick we are to forget that with the Lord there is forgiveness. 00:05:25.459 --> 00:05:27.139 Satan whispers in our ear, doesn't he? 00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:27.699 That's sin. 00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:29.579 It's not really that big a deal. 00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:33.259 And then you do it and he shouts at you. 00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:35.420 This is the last one. 00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:38.980 That was the sin that broke the camel's back, so to speak, of God's forgiveness. 00:05:38.980 --> 00:05:42.120 So what do we do? 00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:44.980 What do we do when we struggle to believe there is forgiveness of the Lord? 00:05:45.180 --> 00:05:48.060 When we feel like we are double-minded hypocrites? 00:05:48.379 --> 00:05:50.400 When we feel like we are a scum of the earth? 00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:54.800 When we don't want to come to our heavenly Father in prayer because how wretched we feel? 00:05:57.740 --> 00:05:59.300 We remind ourselves of verse 4. 00:06:01.460 --> 00:06:02.819 Just one line. 00:06:04.660 --> 00:06:05.900 With you, Lord, there is forgiveness. 00:06:07.200 --> 00:06:08.860 With you, Jesus, there is forgiveness. 00:06:08.980 --> 00:06:09.100 There is forgiveness. 00:06:11.379 --> 00:06:15.020 There is no forgiveness in how guilty we can make ourselves feel. 00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:18.780 There is no forgiveness in doing some good stuff after the bad. 00:06:20.100 --> 00:06:23.040 But with you, Lord, there is forgiveness. 00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:28.040 That's not the end, is it? 00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:30.600 Look how verse 4 goes on. 00:06:30.860 --> 00:06:31.439 Notice the flow. 00:06:32.020 --> 00:06:38.200 We are forgiven so that with reverence, so that with fear, we can serve you. 00:06:39.980 --> 00:06:41.140 Now, why with fear? 00:06:41.220 --> 00:06:44.860 Perhaps it's been mentioned earlier in your series looking at the Psalms. 00:06:45.400 --> 00:06:51.600 But I think quite a helpful guy to listen to is this clever dead guy called John Calvin, who some of you might know. 00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:54.580 And he talks about there's these two types of fears. 00:06:55.260 --> 00:06:57.939 There's the fear of knowing God as creator. 00:06:59.420 --> 00:06:59.820 Awesome. 00:07:00.520 --> 00:07:00.960 Mighty. 00:07:01.080 --> 00:07:02.960 That's sort of what the psalmist has at the start. 00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:08.739 Ben's a second fear of God as redeemer. 00:07:10.239 --> 00:07:12.019 Fear of knowing that in him there's forgiveness. 00:07:12.019 --> 00:07:16.879 So what does it mean when we have both those fears? 00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:19.579 Fear of God as creator and fear of God as redeemer. 00:07:20.019 --> 00:07:23.339 Well, let me quote Mike Reeves from his book, Rejoice and Tremble. 00:07:23.459 --> 00:07:24.159 He talks about this. 00:07:24.219 --> 00:07:24.579 He says, 00:07:24.579 --> 00:07:49.500 It's a fear that says, 00:07:49.500 --> 00:07:50.199 Wow. 00:07:52.019 --> 00:07:53.439 You've forgiven me? 00:07:55.620 --> 00:08:00.399 When we realize that we've been forgiven much, how much more rejoicing is there? 00:08:00.500 --> 00:08:04.079 I'm glad service because of what Christ has done for us. 00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:08.060 This fear produces gratitude that leads to service. 00:08:08.500 --> 00:08:10.279 That's what fuels service, not guilt. 00:08:10.279 --> 00:08:19.159 Reminds me of the story of this girl who was being sold into slavery in America. 00:08:19.759 --> 00:08:22.099 And this man bought her in a slave auction. 00:08:22.699 --> 00:08:25.439 And this girl came to her now slave master and he says, 00:08:25.979 --> 00:08:26.779 You're free. 00:08:27.899 --> 00:08:28.519 You're free. 00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:30.939 Go be free. 00:08:31.599 --> 00:08:32.339 Do what you want. 00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:35.639 And what was her response? 00:08:36.959 --> 00:08:38.339 I want to save you. 00:08:38.340 --> 00:08:41.740 Because of what you've done for me and buying me this freedom, 00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:43.320 I want to save you. 00:08:43.920 --> 00:08:45.560 I have gratitude for what you've done for me. 00:08:45.620 --> 00:08:46.920 That's what this fear looks like. 00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:54.500 Let's take a step back and see what we've seen in his opening verses here. 00:08:54.600 --> 00:08:57.500 The psalmist, let's remember, he's on his way to journey to meet with the Lord, 00:08:58.180 --> 00:08:59.620 perhaps lying awake at night. 00:09:00.060 --> 00:09:02.560 He can't sleep, feels like he's the only person, perhaps. 00:09:02.800 --> 00:09:05.920 And he's deeply aware of his sin and he cries out for mercy. 00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:10.539 He knows that a sinner can't stand before a holy God, 00:09:11.059 --> 00:09:15.439 but remembers and rejoices that with him there is forgiveness. 00:09:18.019 --> 00:09:21.139 And look at what happens in verse 5. 00:09:21.139 --> 00:09:24.319 I wait. 00:09:27.519 --> 00:09:28.919 If you're like me, you don't like waiting. 00:09:30.500 --> 00:09:33.460 Since I had kids, I realized I think every day I'm more and more impatient. 00:09:34.080 --> 00:09:34.960 We want instant solutions. 00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:36.840 We don't want Netflix to buffer. 00:09:37.340 --> 00:09:37.939 We want it instantly. 00:09:39.299 --> 00:09:40.580 We don't want to read the whole book. 00:09:40.740 --> 00:09:41.580 We just want the gist. 00:09:41.659 --> 00:09:42.460 We want the key quotes. 00:09:43.620 --> 00:09:44.519 We don't want to be sick. 00:09:44.600 --> 00:09:47.860 We want to go to the doctor and them to know straight away what's wrong with us, 00:09:47.960 --> 00:09:49.379 give us a pill, and everything's fixed. 00:09:49.379 --> 00:09:50.320 Because we don't want to wait, do we? 00:09:53.939 --> 00:09:55.179 But the psalmist likes waiting. 00:09:56.539 --> 00:09:57.740 Look what he says, verse 5. 00:09:57.840 --> 00:09:59.100 I wait for the Lord. 00:09:59.419 --> 00:10:02.720 My whole being waits, and in his word I put my hope. 00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:04.700 I wait for the Lord. 00:10:05.179 --> 00:10:06.939 More than watchmen wait for morning. 00:10:07.340 --> 00:10:09.600 More than watchmen wait for the morning. 00:10:11.539 --> 00:10:14.200 It's a picture, isn't it, of a soldier on guard. 00:10:14.200 --> 00:10:15.940 Imagine you're a soldier. 00:10:16.060 --> 00:10:16.960 The enemy is real. 00:10:17.540 --> 00:10:19.720 Your family, your friends, they're in the city. 00:10:21.160 --> 00:10:22.660 Waiting's an active thing, isn't it?
