WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:19.519 Thank you for the opportunity to be here and to teach God's word here today. I know that you're very accustomed to a Celtic accent from this lectern already so I hope that if I have one at all that it won't be too challenging. 00:00:19.519 --> 00:00:33.060 There have been many happy coincidences here already in my visit, my first visit to IPC. I believe in coincidence. I just don't believe in mere coincidence. 00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:43.780 And God is the ruler of all coincidences and it's been really good to be part of this service not least because of the free church connection. 00:00:43.780 --> 00:00:55.920 But the happiest coincidence is really that I had intended to pitch this morning on a subject very closely related to the whole theme of baptism in the Bible. 00:00:56.579 --> 00:01:09.359 And I want to begin at this point, although we're going to focus on the passage from Acts that was already read, I want to begin by reading about the baptism of Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew and chapter 3. 00:01:09.359 --> 00:01:15.939 So if you have a Bible, you can turn to Matthew chapter 3 and we're going to read verses 13 to 17. 00:01:17.420 --> 00:01:22.480 Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John to be baptized by him. 00:01:23.379 --> 00:01:30.280 John would have prevented him saying, I need to be baptized by you and do you come to me? 00:01:31.379 --> 00:01:38.620 But Jesus answered him, let it be so now for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness. 00:01:39.359 --> 00:01:40.640 Then he consented. 00:01:41.780 --> 00:01:48.239 And when Jesus was baptized, immediately he went up from the water and behold the heavens were opened to him. 00:01:48.700 --> 00:01:54.200 And he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming to rest on him. 00:01:54.840 --> 00:02:03.819 And behold a voice from heaven said, this is my beloved Son with whom I am well pleased. 00:02:03.819 --> 00:02:14.519 And the words that I want to focus on are to be found in Acts chapter 10 and at verse 38. 00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:26.519 Which is, I think, one of the best one-line summaries of the whole ministry of Jesus that we have anywhere in the New Testament. 00:02:26.520 --> 00:02:37.860 God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. 00:02:38.939 --> 00:02:48.900 He went above doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil for God was with him. 00:02:48.900 --> 00:02:58.180 If you want a one-line summary of all the material of the four Gospels, there it is. 00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:06.740 God anointed Jesus with the Holy Spirit and with power as a consequence of which he went about doing good, 00:03:07.540 --> 00:03:12.860 healing those who were oppressed by the devil and God was with him. 00:03:12.860 --> 00:03:20.120 I'm sure they're familiar words and I'm sure the context in which they are found is equally familiar. 00:03:20.340 --> 00:03:29.140 They are spoken by the Apostle Peter in the course of a great sermon in the book of Acts. 00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:34.180 Peter was a great preacher, not least in the book of Acts. 00:03:34.300 --> 00:03:36.480 And here he is preaching the Gospel. 00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:44.819 And the events that have led to this occasion are themselves remarkable and arresting. 00:03:45.239 --> 00:03:52.479 Peter is preaching in the home of Cornelius, who is a Roman centurion, a Roman soldier. 00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:58.319 The Bible describes him as a devout man who feared God with all his household 00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:02.699 and gave generously to the people and prayed continually to God. 00:04:02.699 --> 00:04:10.579 And we're told that Cornelius had had a vision and God sent through Cornelius for Peter, 00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:16.920 who was 40 miles south in a place called Joppa, just because he was going everywhere preaching the Gospel. 00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:24.899 And Peter too had had a remarkable supernatural vision of a sheet coming down from heaven 00:04:24.899 --> 00:04:29.819 with all kinds of animals on it, clean and unclean. 00:04:30.179 --> 00:04:33.659 And Peter was told to rise and kill and eat. 00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:36.599 But he responded instinctively, 00:04:37.279 --> 00:04:41.919 I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean, so I'm not going to do what you're asking. 00:04:43.299 --> 00:04:44.399 And a voice said to him, 00:04:44.579 --> 00:04:49.879 Listen, what God has called clean or made clean, don't call common. 00:04:49.879 --> 00:04:55.180 And it's remarkable, it happened three times and then the vision disappeared. 00:04:56.540 --> 00:05:00.560 And Cornelius, in response to God, has sent men to Joppa for Peter 00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:05.639 and they come and they tell what has happened and Peter is taken then by them up to Joppa. 00:05:05.779 --> 00:05:11.040 And that story is so important in the book of Acts that it's referred to in the following chapter 00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:13.980 and again referred to in chapter 15. 00:05:13.980 --> 00:05:20.700 Because it's all about the enlargement of the Gospel circle. 00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:23.140 That's really the theme of these chapters. 00:05:24.080 --> 00:05:29.900 As we were reminded in baptism, the Gospel came to Abraham and his descendants 00:05:29.900 --> 00:05:37.180 and it was very much identified with the nation that descended from Abraham. 00:05:37.180 --> 00:05:47.259 But it was never God's intention to keep the light of the Gospel within the immediate, ordinary, natural family of Abraham. 00:05:47.860 --> 00:05:51.319 Even in the covenant promise that God gave to Abraham, 00:05:52.040 --> 00:05:57.899 there was more than a passing hint that the Gospel would reach to the ends of the earth 00:05:57.899 --> 00:06:00.800 because of God's call of Abraham. 00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:11.639 In fact, as one theologian puts it, the call of Abraham was a particular means for a universal end. 00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:21.060 It was the call of one man, a particular means through whom all the families of the earth would be blessed. 00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:26.180 And if you are familiar with the Great Commission, at the close of Matthew's Gospel, 00:06:26.180 --> 00:06:30.519 go into all the world and make disciples of all the nations, 00:06:30.699 --> 00:06:37.060 that is really simply the Christianizing of the Abrahamic promise. 00:06:38.259 --> 00:06:41.639 It is, just to put a spin on words, 00:06:42.259 --> 00:06:47.899 it is the baptizing of the covenant promise in the name of Christ. 00:06:48.340 --> 00:06:52.340 Who is now bringing the covenant promise into its own 00:06:52.339 --> 00:06:55.979 and making that particular means of the Old Testament 00:06:55.979 --> 00:06:59.859 now to be fruitful to the ends of the earth. 00:06:59.859 --> 00:07:06.099 So we are mandated to go into the whole world to pitch the Gospel because of that promise. 00:07:06.739 --> 00:07:12.000 But it took a while for the people of God in the New Testament era, 00:07:12.139 --> 00:07:15.639 after the resurrection of Jesus, just to realize what was happening. 00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:22.779 And now God is directing the Gospel to be preached wonderfully and powerfully to the Gentiles. 00:07:22.939 --> 00:07:28.279 Which is why the Holy Spirit comes down on this occasion, 00:07:28.500 --> 00:07:33.680 just as he had come down on a previous occasion in Jerusalem. 00:07:34.300 --> 00:07:39.279 The descent of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost in Jerusalem. 00:07:39.860 --> 00:07:42.740 And then again in Samaria, where Peter was preaching. 00:07:42.740 --> 00:07:48.460 And now again in the household of Cornelius, where Peter again is preaching. 00:07:49.180 --> 00:07:54.780 The Gentile Pentecost of which we read here is simply reminding us 00:07:54.780 --> 00:07:57.660 of what Jesus said at the beginning of the Book of Acts, 00:07:57.720 --> 00:08:00.519 that the Gospel would be preached in his name beginning at Jerusalem, 00:08:00.920 --> 00:08:04.620 and then in Samaria, and then to the ends of the earth. 00:08:04.800 --> 00:08:10.120 So the Spirit coming down at this point in the Book of Acts, 00:08:10.120 --> 00:08:16.199 in the household of Cornelius, is the marker that now the Gospel is going to be proclaimed all over the world. 00:08:16.340 --> 00:08:20.920 And the purpose of the vision that Peter saw was that these unclean Gentiles 00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:25.459 were no longer regarded so in God's scheme of things. 00:08:25.899 --> 00:08:29.360 So now Peter comes and he preaches the Gospel. 00:08:29.519 --> 00:08:31.220 He tells them about Jesus. 00:08:31.220 --> 00:08:37.759 And about the good news that God gave first of all to Israel, verse 36, 00:08:38.139 --> 00:08:40.279 and then through Jesus Christ, 00:08:40.680 --> 00:08:44.420 you yourselves know what happened throughout all Judea, 00:08:44.480 --> 00:08:47.600 beginning from Galilee after the baptism that John proclaimed. 00:08:47.740 --> 00:08:48.759 Here is our text. 00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:52.040 God anointed Jesus of Nazareth, you know this, 00:08:53.180 --> 00:08:55.440 with the Holy Spirit and with power. 00:08:55.620 --> 00:08:57.639 He went about doing good and so on. 00:08:57.639 --> 00:09:01.240 Now, I suppose that I'm coming here today, 00:09:01.340 --> 00:09:03.559 preaching this message, and I can say, 00:09:03.980 --> 00:09:04.879 you know this. 00:09:06.500 --> 00:09:09.080 If you don't know this, then listen carefully. 00:09:10.360 --> 00:09:12.399 If you do know this, then listen carefully. 00:09:13.779 --> 00:09:17.019 Because every one of us needs this great message 00:09:17.019 --> 00:09:18.279 of the Gospel 00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:21.159 that is personalized in Jesus 00:09:21.159 --> 00:09:24.559 and that is proclaimed in His Word 00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:25.859 and in His Gospel 00:09:25.859 --> 00:09:27.839 all over the world. 00:09:28.599 --> 00:09:29.299 We need it. 00:09:29.419 --> 00:09:31.899 We are all sinners before God. 00:09:32.599 --> 00:09:35.039 We need the good news of God's salvation. 00:09:36.199 --> 00:09:37.699 And it is, for us, 00:09:38.099 --> 00:09:38.879 wrapped up 00:09:38.879 --> 00:09:40.159 and bound up 00:09:40.159 --> 00:09:41.039 in the person 00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:42.179 and in the work 00:09:42.179 --> 00:09:43.639 of Jesus Christ. 00:09:44.179 --> 00:09:45.199 And in this summary, 00:09:45.379 --> 00:09:47.599 Peter is really emphasizing two things, 00:09:47.739 --> 00:09:48.079 isn't he? 00:09:48.099 --> 00:09:48.959 He's telling us, 00:09:49.339 --> 00:09:50.079 first of all, 00:09:50.219 --> 00:09:51.679 what God did 00:09:51.679 --> 00:09:53.179 to Jesus. 00:09:53.839 --> 00:09:54.939 God anointed 00:09:54.939 --> 00:09:56.179 Jesus of Nazareth 00:09:56.179 --> 00:09:57.559 with the Holy Spirit 00:09:57.559 --> 00:09:58.299 and with power. 00:09:59.299 --> 00:10:00.819 And then he's telling us 00:10:00.819 --> 00:10:01.659 what God did 00:10:01.659 --> 00:10:03.019 through Jesus. 00:10:03.899 --> 00:10:05.139 As a consequence 00:10:05.139 --> 00:10:05.859 of that 00:10:05.859 --> 00:10:06.739 anointing, 00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:08.719 Jesus went about 00:10:08.719 --> 00:10:09.319 doing good 00:10:09.319 --> 00:10:10.120 and healing 00:10:10.120 --> 00:10:11.239 because God 00:10:11.239 --> 00:10:12.759 was with him. 00:10:13.079 --> 00:10:13.679 So I want, 00:10:13.819 --> 00:10:14.379 very simply, 00:10:14.739 --> 00:10:15.519 to think about 00:10:15.519 --> 00:10:16.359 these two things 00:10:16.359 --> 00:10:16.899 today. 00:10:17.079 --> 00:10:18.120 What God did 00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:18.919 to Jesus 00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:20.479 and what God did 00:10:20.479 --> 00:10:21.779 through Jesus. 00:10:22.419 --> 00:10:23.559 So what did God 00:10:23.559 --> 00:10:24.719 do to Jesus? 00:10:25.360 --> 00:10:26.620 God, we are told, 00:10:27.379 --> 00:10:27.979 anointed 00:10:27.979 --> 00:10:29.620 Jesus of Nazareth 00:10:29.620 --> 00:10:31.939 with the Holy Spirit 00:10:31.939 --> 00:10:34.199 and with power. 00:10:36.059 --> 00:10:37.379 Now, one of my interests 00:10:37.379 --> 00:10:38.919 in coming to this statement 00:10:38.919 --> 00:10:40.079 is to see 00:10:40.079 --> 00:10:41.479 what it is telling us 00:10:41.479 --> 00:10:44.039 about God himself. 00:10:44.299 --> 00:10:45.740 It is about the gospel. 00:10:45.740 --> 00:10:48.240 But the gospel 00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:49.200 is rooted 00:10:49.200 --> 00:10:51.120 in the doctrine 00:10:51.120 --> 00:10:53.080 of God 00:10:53.080 --> 00:10:54.419 who is 00:10:54.419 --> 00:10:55.700 Father 00:10:55.700 --> 00:10:56.580 and Son 00:10:56.580 --> 00:10:58.700 and Holy Spirit. 00:10:59.399 --> 00:11:00.340 We were reminded 00:11:00.340 --> 00:11:00.820 of that 00:11:00.820 --> 00:11:01.860 in baptism too. 00:11:02.740 --> 00:11:03.879 Baptizing them 00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:04.919 in the name 00:11:04.919 --> 00:11:06.320 singular 00:11:06.320 --> 00:11:08.820 of the Father 00:11:08.820 --> 00:11:09.519 and the Son 00:11:09.519 --> 00:11:10.519 and the Holy Spirit. 00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:12.620 We only have one God. 00:11:12.740 --> 00:11:13.180 There is 00:11:13.180 --> 00:11:13.680 only 00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:15.000 one God. 00:11:15.179 --> 00:11:15.479 God, 00:11:15.599 --> 00:11:16.259 our God, 00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:18.120 is numerically 00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:19.039 one. 00:11:20.379 --> 00:11:21.519 But the Christian 00:11:21.519 --> 00:11:22.099 name 00:11:22.099 --> 00:11:22.979 of God 00:11:22.979 --> 00:11:24.159 is 00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:25.039 Father 00:11:25.039 --> 00:11:25.699 and Son 00:11:25.699 --> 00:11:27.000 and Holy Spirit. 00:11:27.379 --> 00:11:28.299 It is a great mystery. 00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:29.379 It is a mystery 00:11:29.379 --> 00:11:30.019 around which 00:11:30.019 --> 00:11:31.439 our finite minds 00:11:31.439 --> 00:11:32.579 cannot wrap themselves. 00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:34.419 But here is 00:11:34.419 --> 00:11:35.659 the remarkable thing 00:11:35.659 --> 00:11:36.559 of the unfolding 00:11:36.559 --> 00:11:37.099 revelation 00:11:37.099 --> 00:11:37.779 of the scriptures 00:11:37.779 --> 00:11:38.839 that when one 00:11:38.839 --> 00:11:39.819 person 00:11:39.819 --> 00:11:40.799 of the Godhead, 00:11:40.899 --> 00:11:41.699 that is the Son 00:11:41.699 --> 00:11:42.139 of God, 00:11:42.139 --> 00:11:43.340 when he becomes 00:11:43.340 --> 00:11:44.419 man, 00:11:45.019 --> 00:11:45.919 when he takes 00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:46.819 our nature 00:11:46.819 --> 00:11:47.379 in addition 00:11:47.379 --> 00:11:48.159 to his own, 00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:49.379 so that now 00:11:49.379 --> 00:11:50.019 he appears, 00:11:50.139 --> 00:11:51.220 this divine person 00:11:51.220 --> 00:11:52.279 appears in the world, 00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:53.519 the Son of God 00:11:53.519 --> 00:11:54.919 and the Son 00:11:54.919 --> 00:11:55.539 of Mary, 00:11:55.639 --> 00:11:56.759 these two distinct 00:11:56.759
