WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.320 You may be seated, kids, you are excused to your King's Kids class, and if you would open 00:00:08.320 --> 00:00:16.620 up your Bibles to Hebrews chapter 1, it's on page 1187 of your pew Bible, I am going 00:00:16.620 --> 00:00:27.500 to read God's Word, Hebrews chapter 1, 1 through 4, and may God open your eyes to behold the 00:00:27.500 --> 00:00:28.640 wonder of Jesus. 00:00:30.620 --> 00:00:39.240 Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets. 00:00:40.019 --> 00:00:46.340 But in these last days, He has spoken to us by His Son, whom He appointed the heir of all 00:00:46.340 --> 00:00:48.439 things, through whom also He created the world. 00:00:49.039 --> 00:00:53.400 He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of His nature, and He upholds 00:00:53.400 --> 00:00:55.060 the universe by the word of His power. 00:00:55.060 --> 00:01:00.060 For, after making purification for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty 00:01:00.060 --> 00:01:07.680 on high, having become as much superior to angels as the name He has inherited is more excellent 00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:08.900 than theirs. 00:01:08.900 --> 00:01:10.780 may God bless the reading of His Word. 00:01:13.020 --> 00:01:14.580 Who do you listen to and why? 00:01:17.080 --> 00:01:18.440 Who has your ear? 00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:22.800 Who's the first on your list when it comes to giving your ear to someone? 00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:26.879 Let's say you inherit some money and you're like, I need to get some counsel on this. 00:01:27.179 --> 00:01:30.319 Do you go to your Uncle Vinny, who knows a guy? 00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:33.719 Hey, yeah, I got this guy. 00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:36.420 He's got an office in the back of the bowling alley. 00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:37.620 He'll give you some advice. 00:01:37.799 --> 00:01:38.439 Do you talk to them? 00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:43.480 Or let's say that your father-in-law is actual Charles Schwab. 00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:47.439 And he's like, you know what, call me anytime. 00:01:47.519 --> 00:01:48.459 You got my personal cell phone. 00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:50.599 Who's got the better word on finance? 00:01:51.900 --> 00:01:52.459 Charles Schwab. 00:01:54.560 --> 00:01:55.939 You need to refinish your basement. 00:01:55.939 --> 00:02:08.020 Your neighbor, who is in year seven of almost finishing his basement, he's got some tips 00:02:08.020 --> 00:02:08.439 for you. 00:02:09.439 --> 00:02:11.620 He's got some do-it-yourself videos. 00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:15.659 Or there's this guy in your church. 00:02:16.939 --> 00:02:21.180 He's got a business for the last 35 years called Basements Are Us. 00:02:21.579 --> 00:02:23.120 3,000 basements done. 00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:26.620 He's got a 4.98 rating on all social media platforms. 00:02:27.580 --> 00:02:31.000 And he's come up to you and say, hey, you know, if you ever refinish your basement, come 00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:31.400 talk to me. 00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:32.000 I got some tips. 00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:33.980 Who's got the better word? 00:02:35.580 --> 00:02:36.500 Basements Are Us. 00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:39.200 Your marriage needs help. 00:02:41.300 --> 00:02:42.480 Who do you ask for help? 00:02:44.520 --> 00:02:52.580 Do you Google marriage help and then get to the site with a self-appointed life coach who's 00:02:52.580 --> 00:02:53.840 on their fourth marriage? 00:02:55.600 --> 00:03:01.439 Or do you saddle up next to that seasoned couple from church? 00:03:02.640 --> 00:03:04.240 They're on year 35. 00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:08.380 Their marriage is thriving and they've been meeting with other couples and helping them 00:03:08.380 --> 00:03:10.160 navigate hard things in their marriages. 00:03:10.720 --> 00:03:12.439 Who's going to speak the better word? 00:03:12.439 --> 00:03:19.300 The book of Hebrews begins with comparison like this. 00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:24.759 Why we must listen to God's son. 00:03:25.099 --> 00:03:26.479 When it comes to salvation. 00:03:27.060 --> 00:03:29.259 When it comes to matters of eternity. 00:03:29.699 --> 00:03:34.360 When it comes to matters of forgiveness of sin and what you must be living for first and 00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:34.919 foremost. 00:03:35.639 --> 00:03:37.879 Who are you listening to and why? 00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:37.960 Why? 00:03:39.799 --> 00:03:41.199 Who's top on your list? 00:03:45.340 --> 00:03:47.379 Here's what I'm going to try to convince you of. 00:03:47.699 --> 00:03:48.680 I think you already know it. 00:03:50.359 --> 00:03:54.879 We must listen to God's son. 00:03:56.319 --> 00:03:56.759 Jesus. 00:03:57.939 --> 00:04:00.340 He's got to be the first on your list. 00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:05.259 And so this morning I'm going to drop out three points from these four verses. 00:04:05.259 --> 00:04:05.379 Jesus. 00:04:06.419 --> 00:04:08.659 The son is superior to the prophets. 00:04:09.579 --> 00:04:10.479 You need to listen to him. 00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:13.459 The son is superior to angels. 00:04:14.079 --> 00:04:15.239 You need to listen to him. 00:04:16.139 --> 00:04:21.959 And then we're going to look at why the son is superior to both prophets and angels and 00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:23.180 why you must listen to him. 00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:28.579 We must listen to God's son, Jesus. 00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:32.620 He is God's supreme revelation. 00:04:32.620 --> 00:04:38.280 So first, the son is superior to the prophets. 00:04:39.280 --> 00:04:40.480 This is verse one and two. 00:04:41.540 --> 00:04:45.879 Long ago at many times in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets. 00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:49.879 But in these last days, he's spoken to us by his son. 00:04:50.660 --> 00:04:52.220 Hebrews begins with a comparison. 00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:57.319 Between two eras in which God spoke. 00:04:57.319 --> 00:05:04.259 The first era, long ago, God spoke by the prophets. 00:05:05.300 --> 00:05:07.920 It's a reference to the old covenant. 00:05:09.420 --> 00:05:16.300 In this second era, in these last days, God spoke by a son, by his son. 00:05:16.500 --> 00:05:20.060 It's a reference to our present era, the new covenant. 00:05:20.060 --> 00:05:28.060 And what he does for the rest of this book, the writer of Hebrews is absolutely brilliant. 00:05:29.860 --> 00:05:33.259 He's going to pull this comparison all the way through the book. 00:05:34.420 --> 00:05:42.000 The old covenant time and the new covenant time to show how much better the new covenant is. 00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:48.819 It's a comparison and contrast of covenants here. 00:05:50.500 --> 00:05:51.980 Here's some things I want you to notice. 00:05:52.740 --> 00:05:54.339 The first thing about this comparison. 00:05:54.500 --> 00:05:57.579 Did you notice that God has spoke in both eras? 00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:02.000 In verse one, long ago at many times, many ways, God spoke. 00:06:02.500 --> 00:06:05.379 Verse two, but in these last days, he has spoken. 00:06:05.660 --> 00:06:09.259 God is a speaking God in both eras. 00:06:09.259 --> 00:06:11.980 Both in the old covenant, both in the new covenant. 00:06:12.579 --> 00:06:15.500 Our God, the God of the Bible, is a speaking God. 00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:17.759 He is a revealer of himself. 00:06:18.939 --> 00:06:20.399 He makes himself known. 00:06:20.519 --> 00:06:22.000 He makes his will known for us. 00:06:22.259 --> 00:06:27.459 And he shows through the Bible the unfolding nature of human history. 00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:28.519 It is extraordinary. 00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:33.420 This book is God speaking. 00:06:33.420 --> 00:06:33.519 God speaking. 00:06:33.519 --> 00:06:42.060 It's divine revelation. 00:06:45.500 --> 00:06:51.539 The New Testament is, in the Old Testament, are the two parts of the Bible. 00:06:51.659 --> 00:06:55.519 Did you know testament actually comes from a Latin word that means covenant? 00:06:56.459 --> 00:06:59.560 The writings of the old covenant and the writings of the new covenant. 00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:03.660 Testament, two different eras, God speaking in both. 00:07:05.060 --> 00:07:06.500 So that's the first thing I want you to notice. 00:07:07.199 --> 00:07:10.379 God is a speaking God, but he speaks on his terms. 00:07:11.540 --> 00:07:14.639 We need to listen to him on his terms. 00:07:15.860 --> 00:07:18.360 Next thing I want you to notice is when God spoke. 00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:21.240 We've already been talking about this. 00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:25.139 Then, long ago. 00:07:26.139 --> 00:07:28.259 The time before Christ's first coming. 00:07:28.980 --> 00:07:29.360 Verse 1. 00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:35.439 And now, in these last days, he has spoken. 00:07:36.579 --> 00:07:40.980 According to the New Testament, we are now living in the last days. 00:07:40.980 --> 00:07:50.900 We live in between the first coming and the second coming of Jesus. 00:07:51.379 --> 00:07:57.100 And that time, that era in between, the Bible calls the last days. 00:07:58.640 --> 00:08:01.020 It's life in between the advents. 00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:08.319 God spoke then, long ago, before Christ. 00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:10.480 And God has spoken now. 00:08:11.139 --> 00:08:13.699 God has spoken into this era. 00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:21.620 Next thing I want you to notice is to whom God spoke. 00:08:23.579 --> 00:08:24.539 Verse 1. 00:08:25.100 --> 00:08:26.100 To our fathers. 00:08:28.659 --> 00:08:31.259 It's a reference to the old covenant people. 00:08:31.719 --> 00:08:32.659 The people of Israel. 00:08:33.439 --> 00:08:37.720 Now remember, the original audience of this epistle, of this book. 00:08:38.379 --> 00:08:44.040 Were most likely Christians in Rome with a Jewish background. 00:08:44.180 --> 00:08:45.879 So they would have heard this and they would have thought. 00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:46.940 Oh yeah, yep. 00:08:47.160 --> 00:08:49.420 Our father's Israel. 00:08:50.160 --> 00:08:52.360 God spoke to by the prophets long ago. 00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:55.860 But now. 00:08:56.940 --> 00:08:58.320 Did you see that in verse 2? 00:08:59.540 --> 00:09:02.019 But in these last days, he has spoken to us. 00:09:03.379 --> 00:09:04.620 God's new covenant people. 00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:06.000 The church. 00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:06.060 The church. 00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:12.540 Those who have believed that Jesus is fully God and fully man. 00:09:12.940 --> 00:09:16.379 Who died in our place so that we could live for him. 00:09:17.100 --> 00:09:17.879 Our risen king. 00:09:18.700 --> 00:09:19.460 The church. 00:09:21.940 --> 00:09:22.360 Notice. 00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:24.980 By whom. 00:09:25.740 --> 00:09:26.659 God spoke. 00:09:28.740 --> 00:09:30.860 Long ago at many times and in many ways. 00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:32.180 God spoke to our fathers. 00:09:32.580 --> 00:09:33.680 By the prophets. 00:09:34.800 --> 00:09:36.000 In the old covenant. 00:09:36.220 --> 00:09:37.240 God spoke. 00:09:37.740 --> 00:09:38.960 By Jeremiah. 00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:40.000 And Ezekiel. 00:09:40.180 --> 00:09:40.600 And Jonah. 00:09:40.740 --> 00:09:42.320 Even Moses was considered a prophet. 00:09:42.320 --> 00:09:43.879 Many times. 00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:45.140 Over a long period of time. 00:09:45.260 --> 00:09:45.480 God. 00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:46.760 God spoke. 00:09:47.140 --> 00:09:48.040 Through these prophets. 00:09:48.260 --> 00:09:49.520 These sinful men. 00:09:49.600 --> 00:09:50.360 But faithful men. 00:09:51.980 --> 00:09:53.560 Do you remember Hosea? 00:09:55.140 --> 00:09:56.280 God spoke. 00:09:57.140 --> 00:09:57.980 A unique way. 00:09:58.140 --> 00:09:59.060 Through that prophet. 00:10:00.660 --> 00:10:01.820 Many ways. 00:10:03.420 --> 00:10:05.000 Hosea married a prostitute. 00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:05.360 Gomer. 00:10:05.940 --> 00:10:08.480 And it was a living word to Israel. 00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:10.220 Hosea was. 00:10:10.340 --> 00:10:10.940 Was like. 00:10:11.159 --> 00:10:12.700 The faithful God. 00:10:12.779 --> 00:10:13.259 Husband. 00:10:13.820 --> 00:10:14.000 And. 00:10:14.379 --> 00:10:15.940 And Gomer was the. 00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:16.659 Whore. 00:10:17.080 --> 00:10:17.600 Israel. 00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:19.379 It was quite a picture. 00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:20.240 Quite a word. 00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:21.179 Many times. 00:10:21.259 --> 00:10:21.820 Many ways. 00:10:21.820 --> 00:10:21.879 Many ways. 00:10:25.820 --> 00:10:26.659 These were. 00:10:27.000 --> 00:10:27.840 These prophets. 00:10:28.120 --> 00:10:28.259 Were. 00:10:29.480 --> 00:10:30.019 Speaking. 00:10:30.220 --> 00:10:31.200 God's word. 00:10:31.980 --> 00:10:32.679 But they themselves. 00:10:32.820 --> 00:10:33.500 Were sinful men. 00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:34.460 Who are being faithful. 00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:36.019 They were go-betweens. 00:10:38.820 --> 00:10:39.659 But now. 00:10:41.259 --> 00:10:42.779 He has spoken to us. 00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:45.019 By his son. 00:10:47.519 --> 00:10:47.960 Jesus. 00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:48.919 We don't. 00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:50.240 We don't learn the name of this son. 00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:50.519 Until. 00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:51.360 Chapter 2. 00:10:51.419 --> 00:10:52.019 Verse 9. 00:10:53.039 --> 00:10:53.360 Jesus. 00:10:57.720 --> 00:10:58.639 Not only. 00:10:59.059 --> 00:10:59.440 Was Jesus. 00:10:59.779 --> 00:11:00.320 Fully man. 00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:00.720 He was. 00:11:01.019 --> 00:11:01.600 Fully God. 00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:02.259 And so. 00:11:02.460 --> 00:11:03.139 In this. 00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:03.940 Revelation. 00:11:04.179 --> 00:11:04.799 Of Jesus. 00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:05.720 This. 00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:05.740 This. 00:11:05.740 --> 00:11:06.879 This son. 00:11:07.220 --> 00:11:07.860 What you have. 00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:08.240 Is. 00:11:08.379 --> 00:11:09.179 Not just. 00:11:10.360 --> 00:11:10.840 A sinner. 00:11:11.100 --> 00:11:12.100 Speaking God's words. 00:11:12.179 --> 00:11:13.120 You have God. 00:11:13.539 --> 00:11:14.080 Speaking. 00:11:14.600 --> 00:11:15.679 God's words. 00:11:15.960 --> 00:11:16.360 He is. 00:11:16.840 --> 00:11:17.399 Superior. 00:11:17.960 --> 00:11:18.659 To the prophets. 00:11:21.059 --> 00:11:22.220 Now you may be wondering. 00:11:22.340 --> 00:11:23.019 What's the relationship. 00:11:23.019 --> 00:11:23.700 Between the two. 00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:27.840 Jesus says it himself. 00:11:27.919 --> 00:11:28.480 In Matthew 5. 00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:28.940 17. 00:11:28.940 --> 00:11:29.460 Jesus says. 00:11:29.460 --> 00:11:30.240 I came not. 00:11:30.240 --> 00:11:31.000 To abolish. 00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:31.440 The law. 00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:32.100 And the prophets. 00:11:32.600 --> 00:11:34.100 But to fulfill them. 00:11:35.840 --> 00:11:37.019 The prophets. 00:11:37.700 --> 00:11:38.560 Over and over again. 00:11:38.620 --> 00:11:39.240 Were speaking. 00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:40.180 Calling Israel. 00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:41.159 Back to God. 00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:42.279 And they were anticipating. 00:11:42.759 --> 00:11:43.240 Someone. 00:11:43.420 --> 00:11:44.200 Who was coming. 00:11:44.600 --> 00:11:45.019 A king. 00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:45.740 That would come. 00:11:45.820 --> 00:11:46.360 A messiah. 00:11:46.460 --> 00:11:47.100 That would come. 00:11:47.779 --> 00:11:48.879 Who would bring salvation. 00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:49.399 With him. 00:11:49.539 --> 00:11:49.639 And. 00:11:49.639 --> 00:11:50.879 And it's fulfilled. 00:11:51.120 --> 00:11:51.799 Culminated. 00:11:52.500 --> 00:11:52.939 In. 00:11:53.480 --> 00:11:53.899 Christ. 00:11:54.659 --> 00:11:55.240 In the son. 00:11:56.960 --> 00:11:57.860 What the prophets. 00:11:58.039 --> 00:11:58.580 Spoke about. 00:12:00.220 --> 00:12:01.399 The son fulfilled. 00:12:03.439 --> 00:12:04.340 The son. 00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:06.439 Is God's supreme. 00:12:06.799 --> 00:12:07.240 Revelation. 00:12:08.139 --> 00:12:08.639 Full. 00:12:09.699 --> 00:12:10.139 And. 00:12:10.620 --> 00:12:11.019 Final. 00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:14.299 So the first thing. 00:12:14.360 --> 00:12:15.539 I just want you to see here is. 00:12:17.039 --> 00:12:18.179 The son is superior. 00:12:18.340 --> 00:12:18.960 To the prophets. 00:12:19.639 --> 00:12:21.000 Because he's God. 00:12:23.439 --> 00:12:24.340 Not a sinner. 00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:25.399 Speaking God's words. 00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:27.039 God. 00:12:27.139 --> 00:12:27.960 Speaking God's words. 00:12:29.980 --> 00:12:30.779 The second. 00:12:31.379 --> 00:12:31.899 Point. 00:12:31.960 --> 00:12:32.679 I want you to see. 00:12:32.960 --> 00:12:33.500 Is the son. 00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:34.259 Is superior. 00:12:34.439 --> 00:12:34.960 To the angels. 00:12:35.059 --> 00:12:35.519 We move from. 00:12:35.819 --> 00:12:36.679 Verses one and two. 00:12:37.220 --> 00:12:37.740 A comparison. 00:12:37.860 --> 00:12:38.480 To the prophets. 00:12:39.220 --> 00:12:40.539 Now to verse four. 00:12:41.419 --> 00:12:42.720 Where we have another comparison. 00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:44.319 Having become. 00:12:44.419 --> 00:12:45.439 As much superior. 00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:46.980 This son. 00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:48.879 Having become much. 00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:49.879 As much. 00:12:49.879 --> 00:12:50.379 As. 00:12:50.620 --> 00:12:51.419 Having become. 00:12:51.419 --> 00:12:52.220 As much superior. 00:12:52.220 --> 00:12:52.860 To angels. 00:12:52.860 --> 00:12:54.279 As the name he has inherited. 00:12:54.279 --> 00:12:55.259 Is more excellent. 00:12:55.259 --> 00:12:55.939 Than theirs. 00:12:58.639 --> 00:12:59.519 Verses one and two. 00:12:59.600 --> 00:13:00.220 Is comparison. 00:13:00.559 --> 00:13:01.159 Comparing right. 00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:01.399 The. 00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:02.299 The old. 00:13:02.299 --> 00:13:03.240 Covenant era. 00:13:03.240 --> 00:13:04.679 To the new covenant era. 00:13:04.679 --> 00:13:05.399 Prophets. 00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:05.779 And this. 00:13:06.080 --> 00:13:06.759 And his son. 00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:08.299 The comparison. 00:13:08.480 --> 00:13:09.179 Here in verse four. 00:13:09.320 --> 00:13:09.980 Is the comparison. 00:13:09.980 --> 00:13:10.960 Of names. 00:13:10.960 --> 00:13:15.060 Of names. 00:13:17.060 --> 00:13:17.980 In the. 00:13:17.980 --> 00:13:18.639 Bible. 00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:19.280 A name. 00:13:19.700 --> 00:13:20.600 Carries a lot. 00:13:20.800 --> 00:13:20.879 It. 00:13:21.300 --> 00:13:21.060 It. 00:13:21.300 --> 00:13:22.420 It's a revelation. 00:13:22.420 --> 00:13:23.720 Of who the person is. 00:13:23.800 --> 00:13:24.340 Their character. 00:13:24.500 --> 00:13:25.040 Their nation. 00:13:25.440 --> 00:13:26.100 Their nature. 00:13:26.300 --> 00:13:26.519 It's. 00:13:26.639 --> 00:13:27.400 It's title. 00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:28.120 As well. 00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:28.440 And so. 00:13:28.560 --> 00:13:29.639 What you could say here. 00:13:29.700 --> 00:13:30.680 Is it's a comparison. 00:13:30.680 --> 00:13:31.000 Of. 00:13:31.560 --> 00:13:32.519 Of two different. 00:13:32.960 --> 00:13:33.300 Types. 00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:33.720 Of. 00:13:34.440 --> 00:13:35.160 Kind of beings. 00:13:35.159 --> 00:13:38.719 The son is superior. 00:13:38.719 --> 00:13:39.839 To the angels. 00:13:40.459 --> 00:13:40.980 Because. 00:13:41.179 --> 00:13:41.480 Of. 00:13:41.759 --> 00:13:42.079 Everything. 00:13:42.559 --> 00:13:43.219 That goes. 00:13:43.459 --> 00:13:43.899 Into. 00:13:44.799 --> 00:13:45.600 The name. 00:13:46.199 --> 00:13:46.579 Son. 00:13:47.779 --> 00:13:48.639 The divine. 00:13:48.819 --> 00:13:49.079 Son. 00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:50.639 God's. 00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:51.159 Son. 00:13:51.639 --> 00:13:52.459 God himself. 00:13:52.939 --> 00:13:53.639 Very God. 00:13:53.879 --> 00:13:54.519 Of very God. 00:13:54.559 --> 00:13:55.299 If you would just look down. 00:13:55.339 --> 00:13:55.939 To verse eight. 00:13:56.000 --> 00:13:56.819 We're going to get into this. 00:13:56.879 --> 00:13:57.319 Next week. 00:13:58.319 --> 00:13:59.480 But in verse eight. 00:14:00.319 --> 00:14:01.100 We read this. 00:14:01.159 --> 00:14:01.659 This is some. 00:14:01.980 --> 00:14:02.799 From Psalm 45. 00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:04.199 But of the son. 00:14:04.379 --> 00:14:05.059 He says. 00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:06.480 Your throne. 00:14:06.679 --> 00:14:07.399 Oh God. 00:14:07.459 --> 00:14:08.679 Is forever and ever. 00:14:08.860 --> 00:14:09.879 Of the son. 00:14:10.679 --> 00:14:11.559 He says. 00:14:12.000 --> 00:14:12.699 Your throne. 00:14:12.939 --> 00:14:13.659 Oh God. 00:14:13.899 --> 00:14:15.559 Is forever and ever. 00:14:16.600 --> 00:14:17.899 The claim right here. 00:14:18.059 --> 00:14:18.759 Is that the son. 00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:19.600 Is God. 00:14:20.299 --> 00:14:21.500 On his throne. 00:14:21.659 --> 00:14:22.759 Forever and ever. 00:14:23.860 --> 00:14:24.980 And then if you look up. 00:14:25.519 --> 00:14:26.319 At verse six. 00:14:26.439 --> 00:14:27.439 Let all God's angels. 00:14:27.579 --> 00:14:28.179 Worship him. 00:14:28.719 --> 00:14:28.860 So. 00:14:28.980 --> 00:14:29.120 So. 00:14:29.360 --> 00:14:30.259 Here's the relationship. 00:14:31.779 --> 00:14:32.819 The son. 00:14:33.139 --> 00:14:34.480 Does not worship. 00:14:34.480 --> 00:14:36.480 The angels. 00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:38.639 The angels. 00:14:39.279 --> 00:14:40.440 Worship the son. 00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:42.320 Because he's God. 00:14:42.399 --> 00:14:42.879 On his throne. 00:14:44.159 --> 00:14:45.159 He's superior. 00:14:45.879 --> 00:14:47.120 To the angels. 00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:48.920 By nature. 00:14:48.919 --> 00:14:52.979 But you might be asking the question. 00:14:53.079 --> 00:14:53.579 Well why is. 00:14:53.679 --> 00:14:54.059 Why is. 00:14:54.439 --> 00:14:54.959 Why is. 00:14:54.959 --> 00:14:56.339 Why is the author of Hebrews. 00:14:56.500 --> 00:14:57.559 Bringing up angels anyway. 00:14:58.759 --> 00:14:59.819 What's his angel business. 00:15:00.139 --> 00:15:00.240 Because. 00:15:00.479 --> 00:15:02.299 Because he's going to carry it through chapter two. 00:15:02.399 --> 00:15:03.179 What's up with this. 00:15:03.579 --> 00:15:04.319 With these angels. 00:15:04.439 --> 00:15:06.679 Do we have a situation like what was going on in Colossi. 00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:08.079 The book of Colossians. 00:15:08.139 --> 00:15:09.019 Which was identifying. 00:15:09.299 --> 00:15:09.959 A problem. 00:15:10.099 --> 00:15:10.279 Some. 00:15:10.599 --> 00:15:11.360 Angel worship. 00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:12.319 Is that what's going on. 00:15:12.399 --> 00:15:13.500 That's not what's going on. 00:15:13.500 --> 00:15:15.820 Here's what's going on. 00:15:15.820 --> 00:15:16.820 Look at chapter two. 00:15:17.200 --> 00:15:18.179 Verse two. 00:15:20.879 --> 00:15:24.220 For since the message declared by angels. 00:15:25.220 --> 00:15:26.539 Proved to be reliable. 00:15:26.980 --> 00:15:28.299 It's another kind of revelation. 00:15:29.179 --> 00:15:31.120 That's what the writer of Hebrews has in mind. 00:15:31.779 --> 00:15:33.779 The angels were mediators. 00:15:34.460 --> 00:15:35.340 Of revelation. 00:15:35.340 --> 00:15:37.940 In Deuteronomy 33.2. 00:15:38.060 --> 00:15:39.379 And in Galatians 3.19. 00:15:39.780 --> 00:15:43.180 We read about how the law was put in place. 00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:44.460 By angels. 00:15:44.580 --> 00:15:48.139 The mosaic law was mediated by angels. 00:15:48.600 --> 00:15:50.180 The old covenant law. 00:15:51.800 --> 00:15:53.620 Angels had a hand in bringing it about. 00:15:55.740 --> 00:15:56.879 It's God speaking. 00:15:58.420 --> 00:15:59.800 It's kind of revelation. 00:15:59.799 --> 00:15:59.919 Revelation. 00:16:01.719 --> 00:16:03.819 So the comparison is between. 00:16:03.939 --> 00:16:05.539 God speaking by his son. 00:16:05.979 --> 00:16:06.919 And God. 00:16:07.819 --> 00:16:10.620 Speaking a message mediated by angels. 00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:12.579 The law of Moses. 00:16:14.339 --> 00:16:16.039 So on either side. 00:16:16.039 --> 00:16:18.240 Of Jesus being the supreme revelation. 00:16:18.759 --> 00:16:20.719 You have a reference to prophets. 00:16:21.240 --> 00:16:23.159 And you have a reference to angels. 00:16:23.159 --> 00:16:24.359 Who mediated the law. 00:16:25.979 --> 00:16:27.019 And remember. 00:16:27.019 --> 00:16:30.199 Jesus didn't come to abolish. 00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:31.500 The law of the prophets. 00:16:32.279 --> 00:16:33.679 But to fulfill them. 00:16:34.899 --> 00:16:36.379 The prophets and the law. 00:16:36.799 --> 00:16:38.419 Point at many times. 00:16:38.600 --> 00:16:39.240 In many ways. 00:16:39.659 --> 00:16:41.019 To the son. 00:16:41.740 --> 00:16:42.759 God in the flesh. 00:16:43.279 --> 00:16:44.439 God's salvation. 00:16:46.519 --> 00:16:48.480 Do you want some New Testament passages. 00:16:48.659 --> 00:16:49.620 That talk about the relationship. 00:16:49.620 --> 00:16:50.840 Between Jesus the son. 00:16:50.919 --> 00:16:51.559 And the old testament. 00:16:52.019 --> 00:16:53.439 Look up Luke 24. 00:16:54.939 --> 00:16:56.740 Look up John 5. 00:16:56.740 --> 00:16:57.220 39. 00:16:58.180 --> 00:16:59.940 Look up 2 Timothy 3. 00:16:59.940 --> 00:17:00.460 15. 00:17:01.580 --> 00:17:02.120 That the. 00:17:02.220 --> 00:17:03.940 That the sacred writings. 00:17:03.940 --> 00:17:06.059 Are able to make you wise. 00:17:06.220 --> 00:17:07.279 For salvation. 00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:08.799 In Christ Jesus. 00:17:09.620 --> 00:17:10.859 The sacred writings being. 00:17:12.400 --> 00:17:13.319 The law. 00:17:14.180 --> 00:17:15.200 The prophets. 00:17:15.279 --> 00:17:16.000 And the Psalms. 00:17:17.279 --> 00:17:17.460 They. 00:17:17.599 --> 00:17:18.620 They point to. 00:17:18.759 --> 00:17:20.000 In many ways. 00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:20.539 To Jesus. 00:17:20.740 --> 00:17:20.819 So. 00:17:21.019 --> 00:17:21.680 So then. 00:17:21.799 --> 00:17:22.579 God spoke. 00:17:23.059 --> 00:17:24.079 By the prophets. 00:17:24.160 --> 00:17:24.680 And angels. 00:17:24.680 --> 00:17:25.980 Now God is spoken. 00:17:25.980 --> 00:17:27.000 By his son. 00:17:27.340 --> 00:17:29.160 He is God's supreme revelation. 00:17:29.680 --> 00:17:31.000 Full and final revelation. 00:17:31.519 --> 00:17:32.440 To all. 00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:33.740 Okay. 00:17:34.380 --> 00:17:35.320 If we did a. 00:17:35.900 --> 00:17:36.799 Show of hands. 00:17:36.960 --> 00:17:37.120 You know. 00:17:37.180 --> 00:17:37.960 Some people have. 00:17:38.120 --> 00:17:39.080 In the room. 00:17:39.380 --> 00:17:40.240 Apple phones. 00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:41.340 Other people have. 00:17:41.560 --> 00:17:42.820 Kind of Google phones. 00:17:42.940 --> 00:17:43.860 Microsoft phones. 00:17:43.940 --> 00:17:44.080 Whatever.

--> 00:17:51.700 God. 00:17:51.860 --> 00:17:53.019 Updating his revelation. 00:17:53.220 --> 00:17:53.460 Prophet. 00:17:53.519 --> 00:17:53.940 After prophet. 00:17:54.019 --> 00:17:54.500 After prophet. 00:17:56.500 --> 00:17:57.360 The law. 00:17:57.480 --> 00:17:57.840 Itself. 00:17:57.900 --> 00:17:58.360 Of Moses. 00:17:58.360 --> 00:17:59.660 Is a major update. 00:18:00.180 --> 00:18:00.980 A revelation. 00:18:00.980 --> 00:18:02.120 Of who God is. 00:18:02.240 --> 00:18:03.799 What he calls his people to. 00:18:04.039 --> 00:18:05.080 What is coming. 00:18:07.580 --> 00:18:08.059 And. 00:18:08.059 --> 00:18:08.680 Both. 00:18:08.840 --> 00:18:09.080 The. 00:18:09.080 --> 00:18:09.200 The. 00:18:09.539 --> 00:18:10.559 The law. 00:18:10.680 --> 00:18:11.559 Mediated by angels. 00:18:11.740 --> 00:18:12.319 And prophets. 00:18:12.319 --> 00:18:13.880 They were anticipating. 00:18:14.200 --> 00:18:15.039 A full. 00:18:15.180 --> 00:18:15.799 And final. 00:18:15.940 --> 00:18:16.380 Update. 00:18:16.500 --> 00:18:16.779 Coming. 00:18:17.120 --> 00:18:17.740 An update. 00:18:17.740 --> 00:18:18.220 In which. 00:18:18.599 --> 00:18:19.220 Beyond. 00:18:19.420 --> 00:18:20.120 That update. 00:18:20.259 --> 00:18:21.200 There was no more need. 00:18:21.279 --> 00:18:22.059 For another update. 00:18:23.620 --> 00:18:24.460 The son. 00:18:25.599 --> 00:18:26.559 The messiah. 00:18:27.960 --> 00:18:28.420 Jesus. 00:18:29.620 --> 00:18:30.500 Our salvation. 00:18:32.519 --> 00:18:32.920 Isaiah. 00:18:32.920 --> 00:18:34.099 Is not our salvation. 00:18:35.740 --> 00:18:36.680 Neither is Jeremiah. 00:18:37.059 --> 00:18:37.819 Or Ezekiel. 00:18:37.980 --> 00:18:38.460 Or Jonah. 00:18:39.380 --> 00:18:40.140 Angels. 00:18:40.620 --> 00:18:41.220 Cannot. 00:18:42.059 --> 00:18:43.420 Make purification. 00:18:43.700 --> 00:18:44.440 For our sins. 00:18:44.440 --> 00:18:44.580 Jesus. 00:18:47.400 --> 00:18:48.039 Jesus. 00:18:49.320 --> 00:18:50.240 The son. 00:18:51.279 --> 00:18:52.360 God in the flesh. 00:18:53.480 --> 00:18:55.460 Is our salvation. 00:18:55.720 --> 00:18:57.140 He is God's supreme revelation. 00:18:57.720 --> 00:18:58.820 That's why. 00:18:59.220 --> 00:18:59.440 We. 00:18:59.880 --> 00:19:00.200 Must. 00:19:00.519 --> 00:19:01.259 Listen to him. 00:19:01.720 --> 00:19:02.200 Pay careful. 00:19:02.539 --> 00:19:03.600 Attention to him. 00:19:03.980 --> 00:19:04.920 Hold fast to him. 00:19:05.000 --> 00:19:05.799 Not drift from him. 00:19:10.900 --> 00:19:12.180 The son is superior. 00:19:13.380 --> 00:19:14.299 To angels. 00:19:14.440 --> 00:19:14.500 Jesus. 00:19:16.600 --> 00:19:18.559 The last thing I want to show you is. 00:19:18.700 --> 00:19:19.620 The son is superior. 00:19:21.259 --> 00:19:22.420 Because he's God. 00:19:24.940 --> 00:19:26.180 He's God's salvation. 00:19:28.860 --> 00:19:29.340 In. 00:19:29.440 --> 00:19:30.519 In verses two and three. 00:19:33.080 --> 00:19:34.660 We've got big Jesus country. 00:19:36.900 --> 00:19:38.080 Big Jesus country. 00:19:39.360 --> 00:19:40.720 There's a reason why. 00:19:41.220 --> 00:19:42.980 The writer starting off. 00:19:42.980 --> 00:19:43.819 This way. 00:19:45.880 --> 00:19:46.360 He. 00:19:46.360 --> 00:19:46.440 He. 00:19:46.559 --> 00:19:49.000 He points to seven distinct qualities. 00:19:49.000 --> 00:19:49.860 Of the son. 00:19:50.360 --> 00:19:51.259 That end up being. 00:19:51.579 --> 00:19:52.720 Seven reasons why. 00:19:54.039 --> 00:19:55.160 He is superior. 00:19:55.519 --> 00:19:56.579 To the prophets and angels. 00:19:58.460 --> 00:19:59.960 And you can group them in prayers. 00:20:00.180 --> 00:20:00.460 Pairs. 00:20:01.160 --> 00:20:02.400 Now I know what you might be thinking. 00:20:02.660 --> 00:20:04.200 If there are seven qualities. 00:20:04.200 --> 00:20:07.080 There can only be three pairs. 00:20:08.120 --> 00:20:09.059 And one left over. 00:20:09.779 --> 00:20:10.779 That's how we're going to proceed. 00:20:12.140 --> 00:20:13.039 The first pair. 00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:15.220 Let me read them to you. 00:20:16.680 --> 00:20:17.680 There's seven of them. 00:20:19.319 --> 00:20:20.980 Whom he appointed heir of all things. 00:20:22.380 --> 00:20:24.240 Through whom also he created the world. 00:20:25.140 --> 00:20:26.799 He's the radiance of the glory of God. 00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:26.879 God. 00:20:27.759 --> 00:20:30.019 The exact imprint of his nature. 00:20:31.139 --> 00:20:33.559 He upholds the universe by the word of his power. 00:20:34.419 --> 00:20:36.180 He makes purification for sins. 00:20:37.159 --> 00:20:39.579 And he sat down at the right hand of the majesty on high. 00:20:41.039 --> 00:20:43.639 Seven qualities of the son. 00:20:43.640 --> 00:20:43.720 Seven. 00:20:46.780 --> 00:20:47.860 The first pair. 00:20:49.300 --> 00:20:51.520 Is a pairing of the first and the seventh. 00:20:52.600 --> 00:20:54.280 And it has to deal with his authority. 00:20:55.900 --> 00:20:56.520 Did you notice. 00:20:57.160 --> 00:20:58.520 That in verse two. 00:20:58.960 --> 00:21:01.100 He was appointed heir of all things. 00:21:02.180 --> 00:21:04.140 That has a Psalm two. 00:21:04.400 --> 00:21:05.700 Kind of tipping of the hat. 00:21:06.080 --> 00:21:06.600 Behind it. 00:21:07.500 --> 00:21:08.840 Psalm two eight says this. 00:21:09.280 --> 00:21:11.620 Ask of me and I'll make the nations your heritage. 00:21:11.940 --> 00:21:13.220 And the ends of the earth. 00:21:13.220 --> 00:21:13.940 Your possession. 00:21:15.400 --> 00:21:17.160 It's a messianic Psalm. 00:21:17.360 --> 00:21:20.740 It's anticipating the coming of God's king. 00:21:21.360 --> 00:21:22.259 The Messiah. 00:21:23.640 --> 00:21:25.819 And what's being said here is that. 00:21:26.279 --> 00:21:29.700 The son is the heir of all things. 00:21:30.360 --> 00:21:31.100 All people. 00:21:31.339 --> 00:21:32.000 All places. 00:21:32.299 --> 00:21:32.980 All time. 00:21:33.279 --> 00:21:33.880 They're all his. 00:21:33.940 --> 00:21:34.819 They all belong to him. 00:21:36.140 --> 00:21:38.539 It's a big authoritative claim. 00:21:38.539 --> 00:21:38.639 All time. 00:21:44.139 --> 00:21:45.299 We also read. 00:21:45.559 --> 00:21:46.960 The other pair of this. 00:21:47.180 --> 00:21:49.059 Is the seventh quality. 00:21:49.819 --> 00:21:52.279 He sat down at the right hand of the majesty on high. 00:21:53.000 --> 00:21:54.700 Behind that is a reference to Psalm. 00:21:54.700 --> 00:21:56.960 Psalm 110 verse one. 00:21:57.680 --> 00:21:58.799 Some people argue that. 00:21:59.140 --> 00:22:00.120 All of the book of Hebrews. 00:22:00.360 --> 00:22:02.120 Is an exposition of Psalm 110. 00:22:02.440 --> 00:22:04.440 It's going to show up again and again and again. 00:22:06.920 --> 00:22:08.640 But what we see here is that. 00:22:09.259 --> 00:22:09.779 It's. 00:22:09.880 --> 00:22:10.640 It's the son. 00:22:11.360 --> 00:22:12.519 Who has taken his seat. 00:22:12.720 --> 00:22:14.259 At the right hand of the majesty on high. 00:22:14.480 --> 00:22:15.840 And that throne. 00:22:15.840 --> 00:22:17.340 That he sits on. 00:22:17.600 --> 00:22:19.100 Is forever and ever. 00:22:19.099 --> 00:22:22.379 And it is over all things. 00:22:23.699 --> 00:22:25.359 All things have been put under his feet. 00:22:27.240 --> 00:22:28.799 All things are his. 00:22:29.799 --> 00:22:34.559 He has full executive authority over all things. 00:22:34.659 --> 00:22:35.899 All things do his bidding. 00:22:39.859 --> 00:22:42.399 What we see in this first pair is. 00:22:43.579 --> 00:22:45.619 Is the authority of the son. 00:22:45.619 --> 00:22:49.899 There's no prophet. 00:22:50.219 --> 00:22:51.079 With that authority. 00:22:51.479 --> 00:22:52.459 There's no angel. 00:22:52.799 --> 00:22:53.439 With this authority. 00:22:56.659 --> 00:22:58.379 The second pairing is. 00:22:59.500 --> 00:23:01.039 The second and fifth. 00:23:01.139 --> 00:23:01.739 On the list. 00:23:02.719 --> 00:23:04.019 So the second is this. 00:23:05.159 --> 00:23:07.500 Through whom he also created the world. 00:23:07.679 --> 00:23:08.659 And the fifth is. 00:23:08.779 --> 00:23:09.939 He upholds the universe. 00:23:10.119 --> 00:23:11.259 By the word of his power. 00:23:11.659 --> 00:23:13.500 Both are dealing with creation. 00:23:15.619 --> 00:23:15.819 His. 00:23:15.939 --> 00:23:16.819 His relationship. 00:23:17.179 --> 00:23:18.059 To creation. 00:23:19.339 --> 00:23:19.739 And. 00:23:19.899 --> 00:23:21.000 In the second on the list. 00:23:21.079 --> 00:23:22.039 Which is seen in verse two. 00:23:22.199 --> 00:23:24.099 Is that he created the world. 00:23:26.859 --> 00:23:28.419 If you're new to Christianity. 00:23:28.739 --> 00:23:29.059 And you're. 00:23:29.219 --> 00:23:30.439 And you're new to the idea. 00:23:30.500 --> 00:23:31.399 Of who Jesus is. 00:23:31.699 --> 00:23:31.919 What. 00:23:32.019 --> 00:23:32.839 What the Bible. 00:23:33.099 --> 00:23:33.719 In the New Testament. 00:23:33.899 --> 00:23:34.299 In particular. 00:23:34.839 --> 00:23:35.239 Claims. 00:23:35.319 --> 00:23:36.419 Is that the second person. 00:23:36.419 --> 00:23:37.039 Of the Trinity. 00:23:37.479 --> 00:23:38.699 Is the agent. 00:23:38.699 --> 00:23:39.479 Of creation. 00:23:39.639 --> 00:23:40.859 Listen to John one. 00:23:41.039 --> 00:23:41.879 One through three. 00:23:42.000 --> 00:23:42.399 In the beginning. 00:23:42.479 --> 00:23:43.139 It was the word. 00:23:43.239 --> 00:23:43.879 And the word was. 00:23:44.339 --> 00:23:44.799 With God. 00:23:44.799 --> 00:23:46.099 And the word was God. 00:23:46.180 --> 00:23:46.879 He was in the beginning. 00:23:47.079 --> 00:23:47.480 With God. 00:23:47.539 --> 00:23:48.000 Verse three. 00:23:48.399 --> 00:23:49.480 All things were made. 00:23:49.579 --> 00:23:50.079 Through him. 00:23:50.159 --> 00:23:51.159 And without him. 00:23:51.419 --> 00:23:52.480 Was not anything made. 00:23:52.519 --> 00:23:53.180 That was made. 00:23:53.579 --> 00:23:54.180 The word. 00:23:54.440 --> 00:23:55.019 Is Jesus. 00:23:55.599 --> 00:23:56.019 The son. 00:23:58.700 --> 00:23:59.139 Colossians. 00:23:59.259 --> 00:23:59.819 One sixteen. 00:24:02.259 --> 00:24:03.399 For by him. 00:24:03.700 --> 00:24:04.279 The son. 00:24:04.279 --> 00:24:05.720 All things were created. 00:24:05.940 --> 00:24:06.200 In heaven. 00:24:06.359 --> 00:24:06.839 And on earth. 00:24:06.919 --> 00:24:07.240 Visible. 00:24:07.379 --> 00:24:07.859 And invisible. 00:24:08.279 --> 00:24:09.039 Whether thrones. 00:24:09.119 --> 00:24:09.559 Or dominions. 00:24:09.619 --> 00:24:09.980 Or rulers. 00:24:10.099 --> 00:24:10.579 Or authorities. 00:24:10.740 --> 00:24:11.740 All things were created. 00:24:11.960 --> 00:24:12.539 Through him. 00:24:12.879 --> 00:24:14.240 And for him. 00:24:14.240 --> 00:24:16.359 Big Jesus country. 00:24:19.160 --> 00:24:19.799 So he. 00:24:19.920 --> 00:24:20.940 Is the creator. 00:24:20.940 --> 00:24:21.859 Of all. 00:24:22.900 --> 00:24:24.099 He's knit you together. 00:24:24.200 --> 00:24:25.019 In your mother's womb. 00:24:25.880 --> 00:24:27.359 He is the Genesis one. 00:24:27.480 --> 00:24:28.640 Speaker of all things. 00:24:28.700 --> 00:24:29.440 Into existence. 00:24:29.440 --> 00:24:30.299 Out of nothing. 00:24:30.700 --> 00:24:31.839 That's a word of power. 00:24:35.279 --> 00:24:36.359 The fifth on the list. 00:24:36.539 --> 00:24:38.039 Is that he upholds the universe. 00:24:38.420 --> 00:24:39.400 All things. 00:24:40.460 --> 00:24:41.759 By the word of his power. 00:24:41.759 --> 00:24:43.019 The same word. 00:24:43.079 --> 00:24:44.480 By which he created all things. 00:24:44.680 --> 00:24:46.160 He upholds. 00:24:46.660 --> 00:24:47.859 All things. 00:24:48.279 --> 00:24:49.420 Do you know a prophet. 00:24:49.759 --> 00:24:50.420 That can do that? 00:24:52.339 --> 00:24:53.539 Do you know an angel. 00:24:53.660 --> 00:24:54.319 That can do that? 00:24:57.440 --> 00:24:58.980 The sense of this upholding. 00:24:59.099 --> 00:24:59.379 Is this. 00:24:59.640 --> 00:25:00.180 Carries with it. 00:25:00.220 --> 00:25:01.160 The sense of sustaining. 00:25:01.319 --> 00:25:01.879 All things. 00:25:02.740 --> 00:25:03.700 I've got a song for you. 00:25:04.099 --> 00:25:05.079 I warned people. 00:25:05.619 --> 00:25:06.019 Earlier. 00:25:06.140 --> 00:25:06.700 That was going to sing. 00:25:06.700 --> 00:25:12.000 He's got the whole world. 00:25:12.120 --> 00:25:13.000 In his hands. 00:25:15.039 --> 00:25:16.319 He's got the whole. 00:25:17.080 --> 00:25:17.640 Universe. 00:25:18.700 --> 00:25:19.960 In his hands. 00:25:21.140 --> 00:25:22.799 He's got your next. 00:25:23.420 --> 00:25:23.860 Breath. 00:25:25.080 --> 00:25:26.299 In his hands. 00:25:26.400 --> 00:25:27.519 He's got the whole thing. 00:25:27.640 --> 00:25:28.200 All things. 00:25:28.420 --> 00:25:29.259 In his hands. 00:25:29.799 --> 00:25:30.819 That's the claim. 00:25:33.400 --> 00:25:35.039 He upholds the universe. 00:25:35.180 --> 00:25:36.600 By the word of his power. 00:25:37.400 --> 00:25:38.100 Now there's another. 00:25:38.340 --> 00:25:39.220 Implication to this. 00:25:41.620 --> 00:25:43.100 He's directing all things. 00:25:45.059 --> 00:25:46.660 He's just not sustaining all things. 00:25:46.759 --> 00:25:46.960 He's. 00:25:47.039 --> 00:25:48.539 He's directing all things. 00:25:49.559 --> 00:25:50.120 He is God. 00:25:50.340 --> 00:25:51.720 He is the executor. 00:25:52.120 --> 00:25:53.799 Of God the father's will. 00:25:54.220 --> 00:25:56.180 Carrying it out to a T. 00:25:59.980 --> 00:26:01.259 He upholds the universe. 00:26:01.420 --> 00:26:02.380 By the word of his power. 00:26:02.519 --> 00:26:03.500 That's the second pair. 00:26:03.580 --> 00:26:04.720 Having to do with his relationship. 00:26:04.860 --> 00:26:05.340 To creation. 00:26:05.339 --> 00:26:07.879 He has authority over all. 00:26:08.159 --> 00:26:09.359 He is the creator. 00:26:09.740 --> 00:26:11.179 An upholder of all. 00:26:13.419 --> 00:26:14.259 And then we get. 00:26:14.899 --> 00:26:15.919 To the really fun stuff. 00:26:19.319 --> 00:26:20.319 The third pair. 00:26:20.539 --> 00:26:20.839 Is. 00:26:21.339 --> 00:26:22.179 The third and fourth. 00:26:22.299 --> 00:26:22.819 On the list. 00:26:22.919 --> 00:26:23.039 And. 00:26:23.439 --> 00:26:24.639 They are the very interior. 00:26:24.879 --> 00:26:25.459 Of the list. 00:26:25.599 --> 00:26:25.699 They. 00:26:25.859 --> 00:26:27.240 They're right next to each other. 00:26:27.240 --> 00:26:31.539 We read it. 00:26:35.339 --> 00:26:36.279 I got confused. 00:26:36.359 --> 00:26:36.980 I was in John. 00:26:38.900 --> 00:26:39.859 In verse three. 00:26:40.859 --> 00:26:42.059 He is the radiance. 00:26:42.059 --> 00:26:43.059 Of the glory of God. 00:26:45.339 --> 00:26:45.779 And. 00:26:46.460 --> 00:26:47.880 The exact imprint. 00:26:47.880 --> 00:26:48.680 Of his nature. 00:26:49.019 --> 00:26:49.579 What a pair. 00:26:49.579 --> 00:26:51.079 They're. 00:26:51.079 --> 00:26:52.559 They're both getting at the same thing. 00:26:53.399 --> 00:26:54.720 But it's the interior. 00:26:55.220 --> 00:26:56.139 Of this list. 00:26:56.240 --> 00:26:56.419 It's. 00:26:56.939 --> 00:26:58.119 It's the hot spot. 00:26:58.119 --> 00:26:58.859 Of the list. 00:27:02.659 --> 00:27:03.639 He is the radiance. 00:27:03.639 --> 00:27:04.480 Of the glory of God. 00:27:04.599 --> 00:27:05.059 Did you do it? 00:27:06.159 --> 00:27:07.379 He's got all authority. 00:27:07.500 --> 00:27:08.399 Authority over all. 00:27:08.480 --> 00:27:09.519 He's the creator of all. 00:27:10.399 --> 00:27:11.199 This pair. 00:27:11.359 --> 00:27:12.839 Is saying that he's all God. 00:27:13.919 --> 00:27:14.579 All God. 00:27:15.240 --> 00:27:16.059 He's the radiance. 00:27:16.059 --> 00:27:16.859 Of the glory of God. 00:27:16.859 --> 00:27:21.159 Do you know how the moon reflects? 00:27:22.500 --> 00:27:23.859 Do you know when you're outside. 00:27:23.979 --> 00:27:24.779 You're seeing a full moon. 00:27:24.879 --> 00:27:26.459 Do you know why you're seeing it? 00:27:28.019 --> 00:27:30.459 It's reflecting the brilliance of the sun. 00:27:30.459 --> 00:27:34.399 That brightness is not coming from the moon. 00:27:36.639 --> 00:27:40.179 The brilliance is a reflected brilliance. 00:27:42.579 --> 00:27:46.459 Moonshine is a reflected glory. 00:27:46.859 --> 00:27:47.859 It's indirect. 00:27:49.479 --> 00:27:53.579 Sunshine is radiated glory. 00:27:54.539 --> 00:27:55.819 It's direct. 00:27:56.179 --> 00:27:57.799 It's coming from the very thing. 00:27:59.119 --> 00:28:02.240 When you squint your eyes and look quickly at the sun. 00:28:02.459 --> 00:28:03.939 And you see its brightness. 00:28:05.619 --> 00:28:06.219 That's. 00:28:06.579 --> 00:28:07.799 That's the kind of. 00:28:09.219 --> 00:28:10.899 Brilliance we're talking about here. 00:28:10.900 --> 00:28:11.080 Where we're. 00:28:11.440 --> 00:28:11.620 When. 00:28:11.780 --> 00:28:12.200 When we. 00:28:12.540 --> 00:28:13.220 Get a sense. 00:28:13.340 --> 00:28:14.700 When you're reading the gospels. 00:28:14.900 --> 00:28:15.840 And you're seeing. 00:28:16.100 --> 00:28:17.620 Jesus in the gospels. 00:28:17.940 --> 00:28:19.900 He is radiating. 00:28:20.160 --> 00:28:21.000 Godness. 00:28:21.140 --> 00:28:22.160 Because he's God. 00:28:25.660 --> 00:28:26.180 He's. 00:28:26.180 --> 00:28:27.100 He's seen. 00:28:27.880 --> 00:28:28.320 Godness. 00:28:31.620 --> 00:28:31.860 He's. 00:28:31.860 --> 00:28:33.140 He's radiating his glory. 00:28:33.280 --> 00:28:34.500 It's not a reflected glory. 00:28:34.840 --> 00:28:35.040 Glory. 00:28:35.220 --> 00:28:36.040 It's radiated. 00:28:36.120 --> 00:28:37.480 Because he himself is God. 00:28:37.580 --> 00:28:38.140 God. 00:28:40.900 --> 00:28:43.880 He's all God. 00:28:46.120 --> 00:28:48.680 He's also the exact imprint of his nature. 00:28:49.900 --> 00:28:51.560 Of God's nature. 00:28:51.560 --> 00:28:52.960 That the sun. 00:28:53.620 --> 00:28:54.860 Fully shares. 00:28:55.860 --> 00:28:57.800 The same essence. 00:28:57.960 --> 00:28:58.620 And substance. 00:28:58.860 --> 00:28:59.240 Of God. 00:28:59.519 --> 00:28:59.980 The father. 00:29:00.140 --> 00:29:00.940 All of God. 00:29:01.100 --> 00:29:02.300 The father's attributes. 00:29:02.300 --> 00:29:03.600 Are fully shared. 00:29:03.780 --> 00:29:04.960 By the son. 00:29:05.320 --> 00:29:06.420 They are distinct. 00:29:06.800 --> 00:29:07.640 But equal. 00:29:08.040 --> 00:29:08.380 Sharing. 00:29:08.620 --> 00:29:09.520 In God's essence. 00:29:09.720 --> 00:29:11.060 We're getting at the trinity. 00:29:11.400 --> 00:29:12.400 It is a glory. 00:29:12.560 --> 00:29:13.500 To get your mind around. 00:29:13.640 --> 00:29:14.500 If you can. 00:29:18.280 --> 00:29:19.700 In John 14. 00:29:21.280 --> 00:29:22.780 Jesus has this conversation. 00:29:22.780 --> 00:29:23.320 With Philip. 00:29:24.540 --> 00:29:25.560 Philip said to him. 00:29:25.620 --> 00:29:25.840 Lord. 00:29:26.100 --> 00:29:27.160 Show us the father. 00:29:27.900 --> 00:29:29.160 And it is enough for us. 00:29:31.160 --> 00:29:32.360 Jesus said to him. 00:29:33.040 --> 00:29:34.520 Have I been with you so long. 00:29:34.640 --> 00:29:36.260 And you still do not know me. 00:29:36.320 --> 00:29:36.640 Philip. 00:29:36.640 --> 00:29:37.240 Philip. 00:29:37.240 --> 00:29:39.200 Whoever has seen me. 00:29:40.000 --> 00:29:42.060 Has seen the father. 00:29:43.300 --> 00:29:44.520 How can you say. 00:29:44.660 --> 00:29:45.460 Show us the father. 00:29:45.660 --> 00:29:46.720 The point is. 00:29:47.520 --> 00:29:49.160 He is the exact imprint. 00:29:49.480 --> 00:29:50.820 Of God's nature. 00:29:52.320 --> 00:29:55.920 Sharing in all of God's divine attributes. 00:29:56.400 --> 00:29:57.240 You see the son. 00:29:57.600 --> 00:29:58.900 You see his father. 00:29:59.060 --> 00:30:01.560 Because they're both fully God. 00:30:01.559 --> 00:30:03.839 So this radiating of God's glory. 00:30:04.159 --> 00:30:05.279 The exact imprint. 00:30:05.379 --> 00:30:06.200 Of God's nature. 00:30:06.539 --> 00:30:08.139 There are two ways of saying the same thing. 00:30:08.619 --> 00:30:09.440 That the son. 00:30:09.619 --> 00:30:10.619 Is all God. 00:30:12.779 --> 00:30:13.659 No prophet. 00:30:15.000 --> 00:30:15.799 No angel. 00:30:16.799 --> 00:30:17.379 Can claim that. 00:30:18.379 --> 00:30:19.599 That's why he is. 00:30:19.659 --> 00:30:20.899 God's supreme revelation. 00:30:21.079 --> 00:30:22.419 And that's why you must listen to him. 00:30:22.500 --> 00:30:23.139 Above all else. 00:30:24.940 --> 00:30:26.319 He's authority over all. 00:30:26.419 --> 00:30:27.379 He's the creator of all. 00:30:27.500 --> 00:30:27.899 He is. 00:30:27.900 --> 00:30:29.759 All God. 00:30:30.580 --> 00:30:32.700 But there's one more quality. 00:30:37.780 --> 00:30:39.960 It's the sixth on the list. 00:30:42.180 --> 00:30:44.420 Making purification for sin. 00:30:44.420 --> 00:30:48.340 This one who has authority of all. 00:30:48.440 --> 00:30:50.279 This one who creator and upholds all. 00:30:50.420 --> 00:30:52.880 This one who is all God. 00:30:55.180 --> 00:30:57.060 Jesus paid it all. 00:31:00.240 --> 00:31:02.660 Making purification for sins. 00:31:03.560 --> 00:31:04.759 God in the flesh. 00:31:05.060 --> 00:31:07.360 The supreme revelation of God. 00:31:07.800 --> 00:31:10.320 He purifies us from our sin. 00:31:10.320 --> 00:31:11.300 Under the old covenant. 00:31:11.299 --> 00:31:15.460 Countless bulls. 00:31:16.720 --> 00:31:17.839 Countless goats. 00:31:18.119 --> 00:31:19.980 In a bloody work. 00:31:21.180 --> 00:31:23.259 Were sacrificed for sin. 00:31:23.460 --> 00:31:25.159 Over and over. 00:31:25.539 --> 00:31:26.519 And over. 00:31:26.819 --> 00:31:27.539 And over. 00:31:27.740 --> 00:31:28.519 And over. 00:31:28.759 --> 00:31:29.399 And over. 00:31:29.619 --> 00:31:30.339 And over. 00:31:30.559 --> 00:31:31.200 And over. 00:31:31.379 --> 00:31:31.879 Again. 00:31:33.899 --> 00:31:35.279 The blood of bulls and goats. 00:31:35.339 --> 00:31:36.500 Cannot take away sin. 00:31:37.339 --> 00:31:39.480 They can't cleanse your conscience. 00:31:39.759 --> 00:31:40.819 From your sin. 00:31:40.819 --> 00:31:42.779 It can't give you a full forgiveness. 00:31:43.700 --> 00:31:45.500 That's why they have to do it again and again. 00:31:49.879 --> 00:31:52.779 What's shocking is that the very sacrificial system. 00:31:53.000 --> 00:31:55.240 That the
