WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:11.040 I would like you to begin our time in the scriptures together this morning by turning to Romans 00:00:11.040 --> 00:00:18.559 ! chapter 6 verse 23 many of you probably know it by heart you know it by memory but if i were to take 00:00:18.559 --> 00:00:26.240 ! what is the bible focus of our time together this morning and kind of press it together into a single 00:00:26.239 --> 00:00:34.239 text this would probably be my choice how many of you know Romans chapter 6 verse 23 by heart you 00:00:34.239 --> 00:00:43.280 take a stab at it and you'll get there okay for the wages of sin is death what happens when we sin 00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:54.959 the outcome is eventual death but the gift of God is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord 00:00:54.960 --> 00:01:03.920 I trust that's a verse that that you know I mean that that if you were to kind of compress your life 00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:11.280 down into one central statement about who you are and what counts as supremely important that that 00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:17.960 that text would be one of those that you hold on to because at the heart of our life and our existence 00:01:17.959 --> 00:01:26.119 is this issue of whether or not we are in relationship with Christ and were it not 00:01:27.239 --> 00:01:33.719 for the fact that God sent his son to die on the cross for my sins and for your sins the truth of 00:01:33.719 --> 00:01:38.919 the matter is is that we would not have the privilege and the hope of relationship with the 00:01:38.919 --> 00:01:44.759 Lord Jesus Christ what we are doing this morning and you see these elements up here you see the the 00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:51.960 bread and the cup what we're doing is we call the Lord's table or communion love feast is another 00:01:51.960 --> 00:01:58.840 term that the scripture uses and and I as I was praying earlier in the week last week actually thinking 00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:03.160 about the particulars of what we're going to look at this morning I thought it'd be appropriate for us 00:02:03.160 --> 00:02:09.240 to kind of take some time and and allow the scriptures to inform us remind us again of what we're doing 00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:19.800 there's a lot of different opinions about what happens in communion some people have the idea that 00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:26.120 taking communion is something that in some senses makes or breaks their relationship with Christ 00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:33.480 I remember talking with an individual who said to me boy I I'm I'm feeling a little uncertain about my 00:02:33.479 --> 00:02:40.599 spiritual state not well that's a curious thing to say to a pastor and so a natural and logical why is that well I 00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:42.599 haven't taken communion I 00:02:43.959 --> 00:02:48.199 I want to tell you something taking communion doesn't make you better or make you worse 00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:52.839 there's nothing in the act itself necessarily 00:02:54.039 --> 00:02:56.599 that has a saving effect 00:02:57.399 --> 00:03:03.159 it's not like when you die you get to say to Jesus well I get to come in because I took communion yesterday 00:03:03.479 --> 00:03:11.239 on the other hand there are some who believe that that communion is something that is something we 00:03:11.239 --> 00:03:16.120 shouldn't celebrate all the time after all when you celebrate something regularly guess what happens 00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:23.159 becomes too familiar I I don't buy into that and I'll get that point in a minute but but I want you to 00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:29.319 understand when we think about what we do when we come to this table the best way to figure out what's 00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:36.120 actually taking place is to do what is to open the Bible everybody said that well that's what we're 00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:41.079 expecting pastor we really want to look at scriptures and see what the Bible has to say 00:03:41.639 --> 00:03:47.560 so turn in your Bible to first Corinthians chapter 11 and we are going to take a broad look 00:03:49.079 --> 00:03:51.479 at verses 23 through 34 00:03:51.479 --> 00:04:03.239 as we look at the passage we pick up there in verse 23 and I will read the passage till we come to verse 26 it says for I 00:04:03.239 --> 00:04:09.639 received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread 00:04:10.759 --> 00:04:16.120 and when he'd given thanks he broke it and said this is my body which is for you do this in remembrance of me 00:04:16.120 --> 00:04:23.480 in the same way he also took the cup after supper saying this cup is the new covenant in my blood do 00:04:23.480 --> 00:04:31.240 this as often as you drink it in remembrance of me for as often as you drink this bread 00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:41.160 help me here as you eat this bread and drink this cup you proclaim the Lord's death till he comes 00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:42.920 let's take a minute and pray 00:04:44.760 --> 00:04:45.480 our father 00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:51.240 we are desperate for your help 00:04:52.920 --> 00:04:57.960 we don't want to be so presumptuous that we think the matter of understanding the sweetness of the scripture 00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:03.160 is something that is left merely to our intellectual apprehension we rely 00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:08.600 upon the word that you've given us and we rely upon the indwelling Holy Spirit 00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:16.520 we ask that you would do a work in the hearts of your people this morning that would be something that is memorable 00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:18.840 affecting 00:05:20.280 --> 00:05:22.439 and leaves a a mark 00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:24.920 for the days to come 00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:32.520 that as a result of our attention to the word and as a result of the enabling of the Holy Spirit that we who know Christ 00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:37.799 would grow to be more like him and would be individuals who in this 00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:40.439 dark and failing world 00:05:41.879 --> 00:05:50.279 stand out as lights joyful in the confidence we have in complete forgiveness for all of our sins and the certainty of our eternal destiny 00:05:51.159 --> 00:05:51.240 ! 00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:52.759 We ask this in Jesus name 00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:55.240 Amen! 00:05:55.240 --> 00:06:00.199 So as we begin our passage we want to recognize that when we take the Lord's table 00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:07.479 one of the things that we do is that we value reminders at the very beginning look there in verse 26 00:06:07.479 --> 00:06:08.439 it says this 00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:15.959 For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup you proclaim the Lord's death 00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:17.719 till he comes 00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:25.560 One of the ongoing questions that that floats around in different circles is how often should you practice the Lord's table? 00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:32.120 How often should you have communion? How often should a congregation be involved in in taking the bread and the elements? 00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:32.839 And there are some 00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:36.120 There are some groups of people that take it every Sunday 00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:38.920 There are some that take it once a quarter 00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:44.199 There are some that even take it less than that and I remember in one case asking a 00:06:44.840 --> 00:06:44.840 00:06:44.840 --> 00:06:48.040 A group of pastors, so why is it that you celebrate once a quarter? 00:06:48.279 --> 00:06:51.800 And the answer was this a very interesting answer to me a curious one 00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:55.079 It said well, if you take it too often it becomes familiar 00:06:56.920 --> 00:06:57.160 I 00:06:57.160 --> 00:06:59.079 I remember being a little befuddled by that 00:06:59.079 --> 00:07:04.600 So how is it that taking something less often that you're supposed to do to remind yourself of things? 00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:09.400 How is it that that taking it less often becomes more special now? 00:07:09.400 --> 00:07:10.199 remember to 00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:17.560 God in the old testament gave explicit commands as to how often the passover was to be celebrated 00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:19.879 How often did you do that once a year? 00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:27.240 There were other specific times in which the nation of israel had particular feast days that had particular 00:07:27.719 --> 00:07:28.439 focuses 00:07:28.439 --> 00:07:33.319 When jesus gave instruction regarding the matter of the lord's table 00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:41.959 It is very interesting that he did not give to his people at that time any express directions as to how often we're to take it 00:07:41.959 --> 00:07:48.039 And so when we think about this question recognize that what the text tells us 00:07:48.839 --> 00:07:52.919 Informs us of his thought how often should we take it? 00:07:52.919 --> 00:07:54.199 The answer is whenever 00:07:54.199 --> 00:07:59.959 Whenever you choose in our fellowship. We have broken that down and there's no arbitrary 00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:06.279 Kind of mandate necessarily, but the rule of matter is that we generally take it about once a month 00:08:06.279 --> 00:08:11.159 Any of you that pay careful attention and I wouldn't give you extra points if you do 00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:15.719 But if you pay careful attention you notice that we generally do it about once a month 00:08:16.439 --> 00:08:20.839 We don't do it always on the same day. Sometimes we do it sunday morning 00:08:21.239 --> 00:08:29.079 Sometimes we do it sunday night sometime we do it wednesday sometime we do it sunday school and the reason for the variety in part 00:08:29.079 --> 00:08:36.360 Is to provide a little bit of diversity to kind of make you think in different frames and kind of challenge you 00:08:36.600 --> 00:08:43.799 Outside the space of well today is communion. I got turned my brain off. I know what we do pastor's going to go to first corinthians 11 again 00:08:44.360 --> 00:08:46.360 You know, it's like we've been there 00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:49.720 I want you to understand 00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:52.919 that we 00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:54.120 value 00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:55.240 reminders 00:08:55.240 --> 00:09:01.159 And we value the fact that scripture tells us that we can do this whenever so 00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:07.879 That being said remembering our lord's death for our sins is an important part of our relationship and that's what we're doing this morning 00:09:08.120 --> 00:09:13.000 We're reminding ourselves that jesus died in our place 00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:17.720 To those who would say well 00:09:18.680 --> 00:09:20.680 Here we are doing the same thing again 00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:23.639 And I think probably that uh 00:09:24.359 --> 00:09:26.759 Repetition has kind of dulled my sensibility 00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:32.679 I would encourage you to recognize that it's not repetition that is at the heart of your spiritual struggle 00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:41.959 The fact that you find a lack of affection at the moment is reflective of where your relationship is 00:09:42.519 --> 00:09:45.000 Not of the regularity with which you do it 00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:49.480 Case in point 00:09:49.480 --> 00:09:49.879 I 00:09:49.879 --> 00:09:55.480 I tell judith my bride of 44 years 00:09:55.480 --> 00:09:57.399 That I love her 00:09:57.399 --> 00:09:59.480 All the time 00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:07.879 It's not like I tell her once a week or once a quarter or once a month and uh, she should suffice with that 00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:14.019 Not only do I tell her every evening when we go to bed the last thing I say is judith 00:10:14.019 --> 00:10:18.399 I love you and she if she has not dozed off because I dawdled getting to bed 00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:21.960 She will say and then and by the way when I get there and she's dozed off I 00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:25.559 There are extra noises that go along with kind of waking her up for it 00:10:25.559 --> 00:10:27.899 Say I love you too, you know 00:10:27.899 --> 00:10:30.399 There's nothing wrong, right? 00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:31.960 Here's the deal 00:10:31.960 --> 00:10:37.740 My affection for my bride means that I tell her I love her often 00:10:37.740 --> 00:10:41.240 And there's nothing lost 00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:44.600 In the regularity and so I want you to understand 00:10:44.600 --> 00:10:49.780 That when you come to this table and you remind yourself of the love of the lord jesus for you 00:10:49.780 --> 00:10:52.879 Do not think that that here we go doing this again 00:10:52.879 --> 00:10:58.139 It's a little bit like saying I love you to the most important person in the world and there's benefit in doing it 00:10:58.139 --> 00:11:01.980 The elements certainly make his love clear 00:11:01.980 --> 00:11:07.460 And our love is stirred in response and I trust that as you walk away from here this morning 00:11:07.460 --> 00:11:13.480 Having taken the bread and taken the cup that one of the things that is very clear in your heart is this 00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:17.899 Jesus loves me and that will never never change 00:11:17.899 --> 00:11:19.679 Let me tell you something 00:11:19.679 --> 00:11:22.500 I cannot think 00:11:22.500 --> 00:11:23.839 Of many 00:11:23.839 --> 00:11:25.459 Spiritual truths 00:11:25.459 --> 00:11:28.319 That are more important than that to the believer 00:11:28.319 --> 00:11:29.959 Let me say it slowly 00:11:29.959 --> 00:11:32.500 I cannot think 00:11:32.500 --> 00:11:42.219 Of hardly any other spiritual truth for the believer that is more important than comprehending the unbelievable love of christ for you 00:11:42.219 --> 00:11:48.740 And so when you take that bread and you take that cup one of the things that I want you to say in your heart this morning is 00:11:48.740 --> 00:11:50.019 Jesus loves me 00:11:50.019 --> 00:11:56.039 I understand being amazed that he does 00:11:56.039 --> 00:11:57.879 I'm when I stop and think about me 00:11:57.879 --> 00:12:01.019 I just can't get over it 00:12:01.019 --> 00:12:02.820 He loves me 00:12:02.820 --> 00:12:06.700 And this morning the elements certainly make his love clear 00:12:06.700 --> 00:12:11.039 There's another thing that happens when we take communion we value the gospel 00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:13.180 We value the gospel 00:12:13.179 --> 00:12:15.979 The bread and the cup are 00:12:15.979 --> 00:12:18.839 Something to be understood 00:12:18.839 --> 00:12:22.739 In relationship to what the gospel actually is 00:12:22.739 --> 00:12:23.879 The fact 00:12:23.879 --> 00:12:26.239 Is here 00:12:26.239 --> 00:12:28.159 In physical 00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:30.099 Manifestation and evidence 00:12:30.099 --> 00:12:32.839 And so when we take the bread 00:12:32.839 --> 00:12:34.859 Jesus died for me 00:12:34.859 --> 00:12:36.620 And we take the cup 00:12:36.620 --> 00:12:38.019 He made a new 00:12:38.019 --> 00:12:40.439 How many of you understand what the word covenant means 00:12:40.440 --> 00:12:41.480 It means promise 00:12:41.480 --> 00:12:43.800 He made another promise 00:12:43.800 --> 00:12:45.220 By the way 00:12:45.220 --> 00:12:47.280 What was the first promise God made? 00:12:47.400 --> 00:12:47.980 Does anybody know? 00:12:48.560 --> 00:12:49.000 How many of you 00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:52.520 How many of you know what the old promise or the old covenant was? 00:12:52.660 --> 00:12:54.240 The first promise that was made 00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:55.240 He made it to Israel 00:12:55.240 --> 00:12:56.520 And he said this 00:12:56.520 --> 00:12:58.360 You keep my law 00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:00.840 And I will do thus and so 00:13:00.840 --> 00:13:02.320 How did that go for Israel? 00:13:02.420 --> 00:13:02.960 What's the answer? 00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:04.940 They did real well didn't they? 00:13:05.940 --> 00:13:07.840 It's like when I bump into people and I say 00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:08.720 Why are you getting to heaven? 00:13:08.800 --> 00:13:10.580 And they say well I've kept the ten commandments 00:13:10.580 --> 00:13:12.360 I think really? 00:13:14.220 --> 00:13:16.140 I've never met anybody 00:13:16.140 --> 00:13:17.020 Anybody 00:13:17.020 --> 00:13:18.980 Other than Jesus 00:13:18.980 --> 00:13:20.800 That keeps the ten commandments right? 00:13:21.120 --> 00:13:23.400 They're just kind of brain dead when they make that statement 00:13:23.400 --> 00:13:25.240 The fact is is the old covenant 00:13:25.240 --> 00:13:27.280 The old promise wasn't kept 00:13:27.280 --> 00:13:30.900 And God says I will make a new covenant 00:13:30.900 --> 00:13:32.660 I will make a new promise with you 00:13:32.659 --> 00:13:36.179 And that promise in essence in Jeremiah is this 00:13:36.179 --> 00:13:37.740 I will be your people and you will be 00:13:37.740 --> 00:13:41.699 I will be your God and you will be my people 00:13:41.699 --> 00:13:44.480 Can we stop doing this little inversion thing Tim? 00:13:44.860 --> 00:13:45.939 Let's get over that one 00:13:45.939 --> 00:13:48.379 I will be your God 00:13:48.379 --> 00:13:49.419 You will be my people 00:13:49.419 --> 00:13:51.959 I will put my law in your heart 00:13:51.959 --> 00:13:55.279 God says I'm going to do this work of conversion 00:13:55.279 --> 00:13:56.980 And this work of grace 00:13:56.980 --> 00:13:59.579 And you're going to be a different person than you used to be 00:13:59.579 --> 00:14:00.959 By virtue of my power 00:14:00.960 --> 00:14:04.139 And so when we take the elements 00:14:04.139 --> 00:14:09.879 We are engaged in reminding ourselves of the truth of the gospel 00:14:09.879 --> 00:14:11.200 And I want you to think about that 00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:16.180 Now let's understand that the gospel isn't something that is just for unbelievers 00:14:16.180 --> 00:14:18.560 Is the gospel needed for unbelievers? 00:14:18.700 --> 00:14:19.160 Absolutely 00:14:19.160 --> 00:14:21.320 And by the way 00:14:21.320 --> 00:14:23.160 Everybody smile so you understand this 00:14:23.160 --> 00:14:28.680 You can't have the gospel without first of all bringing people to grips with bad news 00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:30.319 What is the bad news? 00:14:31.739 --> 00:14:33.079 All men are pretty good 00:14:33.079 --> 00:14:34.939 They're going to make it somehow or another 00:14:34.939 --> 00:14:37.019 And all the paths just get there anyway 00:14:37.019 --> 00:14:37.500 How's that? 00:14:38.359 --> 00:14:40.399 If that is the news 00:14:40.399 --> 00:14:42.019 There's no need for Jesus 00:14:42.019 --> 00:14:42.959 Do you understand that? 00:14:43.500 --> 00:14:45.419 The bad news is that all men are sinners 00:14:45.419 --> 00:14:47.639 And stand justly condemned before a holy God 00:14:47.639 --> 00:14:50.939 And as the scripture says in Romans chapter 3 verse 10 00:14:50.939 --> 00:14:51.979 There is none righteous 00:14:51.979 --> 00:14:52.839 No not one 00:14:52.840 --> 00:14:56.500 There's not a single person who will be able to stand before God 00:14:56.500 --> 00:14:57.720 The holy judge and say 00:14:57.720 --> 00:14:59.980 Hey aren't you glad I showed up because I'm good? 00:15:01.259 --> 00:15:01.560 No 00:15:01.560 --> 00:15:03.019 None righteous 00:15:03.019 --> 00:15:03.720 No not one 00:15:03.720 --> 00:15:08.440 And the gospel is something that is not only for the unbeliever 00:15:08.440 --> 00:15:13.019 But is something that the believer should wrap his heart around every single day 00:15:13.019 --> 00:15:14.799 When you think about the gospel 00:15:14.799 --> 00:15:16.579 I want you to turn over in your Bible 00:15:16.579 --> 00:15:18.399 You're in 1 Corinthians chapter 11 00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:21.679 Just kind of skip to the back of the book 00:15:21.679 --> 00:15:24.000 Go to 1 Corinthians chapter 15 00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:28.039 And we find there in verse 3 and 4 00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:29.960 That the apostle gets on the roll 00:15:29.960 --> 00:15:33.860 About the subject of the resurrection 00:15:33.860 --> 00:15:37.039 But the frame in which he starts is the gospel 00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:38.579 Now let's look at verse 3 00:15:38.580 --> 00:15:43.580 For I delivered to you as of first importance 00:15:43.580 --> 00:15:44.740 Do you know what he's saying? 00:15:45.360 --> 00:15:46.980 This is the most important thing 00:15:46.980 --> 00:15:50.139 This is the most important thing 00:15:50.139 --> 00:15:52.740 So let's try this so we understand the comparison 00:15:52.740 --> 00:15:56.940 You can go theoretically about three weeks without food 00:15:56.940 --> 00:16:00.060 Three days without water 00:16:00.060 --> 00:16:02.780 And three minutes without oxygen 00:16:02.780 --> 00:16:07.040 So what we would say is that oxygen is of what? 00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:08.759 First importance 00:16:08.759 --> 00:16:11.399 Get your hands around this 00:16:11.399 --> 00:16:15.319 The gospel remains supremely important for the believer 00:16:15.319 --> 00:16:19.099 And it is something that we ought to refresh our heart with 00:16:19.099 --> 00:16:20.539 On a regular basis 00:16:20.539 --> 00:16:21.759 What is the gospel? 00:16:23.079 --> 00:16:25.339 I want you to recognize there in the passage 00:16:25.339 --> 00:16:28.779 It says that Jesus died for our sins 00:16:28.779 --> 00:16:31.059 What does that mean? 00:16:32.179 --> 00:16:34.480 Well for one thing it means that I was a sinner 00:16:34.480 --> 00:16:36.039 And Jesus died in my place 00:16:36.039 --> 00:16:38.399 I love that fact 00:16:38.399 --> 00:16:41.319 Because what it tells me is that 00:16:41.319 --> 00:16:44.379 God sent his son the Lord Jesus Christ 00:16:44.379 --> 00:16:46.620 To pay the penalty for my sins 00:16:46.620 --> 00:16:49.879 And Jesus died to satisfy the debt 00:16:49.879 --> 00:16:52.319 And the judgment of God against me 00:16:52.319 --> 00:16:54.439 While it is true 00:16:54.439 --> 00:16:57.179 That jealousy 00:16:57.179 --> 00:16:58.079 Lying 00:16:58.079 --> 00:16:59.879 A brutal foreign power 00:16:59.879 --> 00:17:02.860 All of these things were really wrapped up 00:17:02.860 --> 00:17:05.400 And the issue of what was going on in the world 00:17:05.400 --> 00:17:06.559 That Jesus came into 00:17:06.559 --> 00:17:07.700 The fact of the matter is 00:17:07.700 --> 00:17:09.519 Is that that's not why Jesus came 00:17:09.519 --> 00:17:11.640 To deliver the people of Israel 00:17:11.640 --> 00:17:15.579 From a foreign invading and occupying force 00:17:15.579 --> 00:17:18.799 He came to deliver people from the burden of their sin 00:17:18.799 --> 00:17:20.680 And to help them find victory 00:17:20.680 --> 00:17:22.599 Over the battle that they had 00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:24.140 With what was going on inside 00:17:24.140 --> 00:17:26.940 And I want you to understand 00:17:26.940 --> 00:17:28.280 When you take the bread 00:17:28.280 --> 00:17:29.380 And you take the cup 00:17:29.380 --> 00:17:32.040 One of the things that I trust you are saying 00:17:32.040 --> 00:17:35.920 Is that Jesus died in my place 00:17:35.920 --> 00:17:38.720 He died my death 00:17:38.720 --> 00:17:42.300 He has satisfied the judgment of God 00:17:42.300 --> 00:17:43.840 Against my sin 00:17:43.840 --> 00:17:46.620 And as Romans chapter 8 verse 1 says 00:17:46.620 --> 00:17:48.220 There is now therefore 00:17:48.220 --> 00:17:48.580 What? 00:17:49.000 --> 00:17:50.500 No condemnation to them 00:17:50.500 --> 00:17:51.759 Who are in Jesus Christ 00:17:51.759 --> 00:17:52.500 Christ Jesus 00:17:52.500 --> 00:17:55.039 We look at the passage 00:17:55.039 --> 00:17:56.460 And we also understand this 00:17:56.460 --> 00:17:57.500 It says that he was 00:17:57.500 --> 00:17:58.400 He was buried 00:17:58.400 --> 00:18:00.339 That he was raised 00:18:00.339 --> 00:18:01.900 On the third day 00:18:01.900 --> 00:18:03.119 In accordance with scripture 00:18:03.119 --> 00:18:04.200 So what is the significance 00:18:04.200 --> 00:18:05.759 Of his death 00:18:05.759 --> 00:18:06.779 Burial and resurrection 00:18:06.779 --> 00:18:08.420 By the way 00:18:08.420 --> 00:18:10.440 Next Sunday morning 00:18:10.440 --> 00:18:11.519 We are going to go 00:18:11.519 --> 00:18:12.700 Wall to wall 00:18:12.700 --> 00:18:13.359 With that truth 00:18:13.359 --> 00:18:14.579 That is going to be the center 00:18:14.579 --> 00:18:15.859 Of the message 00:18:15.859 --> 00:18:17.019 Of the resurrection Sunday 00:18:17.019 --> 00:18:19.099 Because next Sunday 00:18:19.099 --> 00:18:20.859 We celebrate the fact 00:18:20.859 --> 00:18:22.859 That Jesus is not still 00:18:22.859 --> 00:18:23.559 In the tomb 00:18:23.559 --> 00:18:25.199 You can't go to some city 00:18:25.199 --> 00:18:26.339 Over in the Middle East 00:18:26.339 --> 00:18:26.879 And find out 00:18:26.879 --> 00:18:28.319 Well that's where he's buried 00:18:28.319 --> 00:18:29.339 He's not there 00:18:29.339 --> 00:18:31.119 And you know what 00:18:31.119 --> 00:18:31.939 He's coming back again 00:18:31.939 --> 00:18:33.559 I like that 00:18:33.559 --> 00:18:35.679 I'd like it to be today 00:18:35.679 --> 00:18:38.219 And if it's not going to be today 00:18:38.219 --> 00:18:39.099 I'll settle for tomorrow 00:18:39.099 --> 00:18:40.359 Right? 00:18:41.139 --> 00:18:42.719 But the truth of the matter is 00:18:42.719 --> 00:18:45.319 Is that Jesus died for my sins 00:18:45.319 --> 00:18:46.559 And he rose again 00:18:46.559 --> 00:18:48.299 And the reality of it is 00:18:48.299 --> 00:18:49.659 His resurrection 00:18:49.659 --> 00:18:50.960 Makes it clear 00:18:50.960 --> 00:18:52.419 That my debt 00:18:52.419 --> 00:18:54.519 Has been satisfied 00:18:54.519 --> 00:18:58.179 Situation came up 00:18:58.179 --> 00:18:58.980 Not long ago 00:18:58.980 --> 00:19:00.419 At a call 00:19:00.419 --> 00:19:03.559 Tim 00:19:03.559 --> 00:19:05.399 Have you paid this bill? 00:19:06.399 --> 00:19:07.659 Well the truth of the matter is 00:19:07.659 --> 00:19:08.539 Is if I paid a bill 00:19:08.539 --> 00:19:09.480 It would be a real surprise 00:19:09.480 --> 00:19:10.779 My wife takes care of that 00:19:10.779 --> 00:19:13.460 And so what I did 00:19:13.460 --> 00:19:14.940 Was I called her up 00:19:14.940 --> 00:19:16.879 I said 00:19:16.879 --> 00:19:17.160 Honey 00:19:17.160 --> 00:19:18.660 I just got a call 00:19:18.660 --> 00:19:19.700 From somebody in Florida 00:19:19.700 --> 00:19:21.779 Have you paid this bill? 00:19:22.399 --> 00:19:23.160 She says yes 00:19:23.160 --> 00:19:24.859 She says here 00:19:24.859 --> 00:19:25.480 Let me pull it up 00:19:25.480 --> 00:19:26.660 How many of you like electronics? 00:19:26.899 --> 00:19:27.279 Sometimes 00:19:27.279 --> 00:19:30.399 She sent me 00:19:30.399 --> 00:19:32.920 A text 00:19:32.920 --> 00:19:35.039 With a picture of the canceled check 00:19:35.039 --> 00:19:35.399 And I thought 00:19:35.399 --> 00:19:35.740 Woo! 00:19:35.740 -->

check here 00:19:41.599 --> 00:19:41.960 In fact 00:19:41.960 --> 00:19:42.279 In fact 00:19:42.279 --> 00:19:43.099 She's got your endorsement 00:19:43.099 --> 00:19:43.779 On the back 00:19:43.779 --> 00:19:46.680 See when Jesus rose from the dead 00:19:46.680 --> 00:19:47.299 It was like 00:19:47.299 --> 00:19:48.200 Paid in full 00:19:48.200 --> 00:19:48.460 Right? 00:19:49.420 -->

all of the sin 00:19:55.319 --> 00:19:55.980 That I've committed? 00:19:56.200 --> 00:19:58.079 It's because Jesus rose from the dead 00:19:58.079 --> 00:20:00.779 I get pumped about that 00:20:00.779 --> 00:20:05.460 And I want you to understand 00:20:05.460 --> 00:20:06.000 This morning 00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:07.220 When we take these elements 00:20:07.220 --> 00:20:08.279 We take this bread 00:20:08.279 --> 00:20:09.819 And we take this cup 00:20:09.819 --> 00:20:11.539 We remind ourselves 00:20:11.539 --> 00:20:13.039 Of what Jesus has done 00:20:13.039 --> 00:20:15.680 And there shouldn't be a day 00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:16.360 Pass 00:20:16.360 --> 00:20:19.440 There shouldn't be a day 00:20:19.440 --> 00:20:20.059 Pass 00:20:20.059 --> 00:20:22.140 Without a thought 00:20:22.140 --> 00:20:22.779 Of the blessing 00:20:22.779 --> 00:20:23.840 Of what Jesus did 00:20:23.840 --> 00:20:25.900 Do you follow that? 00:20:30.100 --> 00:20:31.279 I won't tell you all

would live in squalor 00:20:42.779 --> 00:20:43.960 Do you know what squalor is? 00:20:44.879 --> 00:20:46.119 I would live in just 00:20:46.119 --> 00:20:48.680 An abject misery 00:20:48.680 --> 00:20:49.900 Were it not for the fact 00:20:49.900 --> 00:20:50.960 That God in his kindness 00:20:50.960 --> 00:20:52.160 Gave me the bride 00:20:52.160 --> 00:20:53.559 That she did 00:20:53.559 --> 00:20:54.099 Or he did 00:20:54.099 --> 00:20:55.339 She did 00:20:55.339 --> 00:20:55.960 Woo! 00:20:56.339 --> 00:20:57.059 Let's try 00:20:57.059 --> 00:20:58.420 He and he only 00:20:58.420 -->

ought to start now 00:21:16.240 --> 00:21:19.099 Because I'm bumping 00:21:19.099 --> 00:21:20.120 Up against the line here 00:21:20.120 --> 00:21:20.440 Okay 00:21:20.440 --> 00:21:21.299 Well back we go 00:21:21.299 --> 00:21:24.980 The truth of the matter is 00:21:24.980 --> 00:21:25.360 Is that 00:21:25.359 --> 00:21:29.299 I live with a thankful spirit 00:21:29.299 --> 00:21:30.539 For what Jesus has done 00:21:30.539 --> 00:21:31.399 In giving me the bride 00:21:31.399 --> 00:21:31.939 That he gave me 00:21:31.939 --> 00:21:32.740 But let me tell you something 00:21:32.740 --> 00:21:33.799 That doesn't compare 00:21:33.799 --> 00:21:35.879 To the blessing 00:21:35.879 --> 00:21:37.139 Of who I have in Christ 00:21:37.139 --> 00:21:38.379 And what I have in Christ 00:21:38.379 --> 00:21:40.619 And it's not only 00:21:40.619 --> 00:21:41.699 When I come to this table 00:21:41.699 --> 00:21:43.000 That I should remind myself 00:21:43.000 --> 00:21:43.419 Of that 00:21:43.419 --> 00:21:45.659 There's something else 00:21:45.659 --> 00:21:46.159 That we value 00:21:46.159 --> 00:21:46.740 Going back to 00:21:46.740 --> 00:21:47.919 1 Corinthians chapter 11 00:21:47.919 --> 00:21:49.439 We value public testimony 00:21:49.439 --> 00:21:51.039 I want you to put 00:21:51.039 --> 00:21:51.659 Your little finger 00:21:51.659 --> 00:21:52.859 On the word proclaim 00:21:52.859 --> 00:21:53.879 Okay 00:21:53.880 --> 00:21:56.200 The word proclaim 00:21:56.200 --> 00:21:57.420 I've talked about this before 00:21:57.420 --> 00:21:58.940 But it's a word in the Greek 00:21:58.940 --> 00:21:59.840 That carries the idea 00:21:59.840 --> 00:22:00.780 Of public announcement 00:22:00.780 --> 00:22:03.620 And as I was studying 00:22:03.620 --> 00:22:04.320 This week 00:22:04.320 --> 00:22:05.540 I was struck by 00:22:05.540 --> 00:22:07.000 By doing a little bit 00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:07.700 Of research 00:22:07.700 --> 00:22:08.780 In the Greek itself 00:22:08.780 --> 00:22:09.400 To understand 00:22:09.400 --> 00:22:10.200 That it's not just 00:22:10.200 --> 00:22:10.860 An announcement 00:22:10.860 --> 00:22:12.400 Kind of a generic announcement 00:22:12.400 --> 00:22:13.300 But it's an announcement 00:22:13.300 --> 00:22:14.860 That carries with it 00:22:14.860 --> 00:22:17.320 The implicit issue 00:22:17.320 --> 00:22:18.560 Of the value 00:22:18.560 --> 00:22:19.380 And supremacy 00:22:19.380 --> 00:22:20.860 Of the gospel itself 00:22:20.860 --> 00:22:22.660 It's an announcement 00:22:22.660 --> 00:22:23.820 That by the way 00:22:23.819 --> 00:22:24.439 In which the word 00:22:24.439 --> 00:22:25.679 Is used in the Greek 00:22:25.679 --> 00:22:26.779 It's the idea 00:22:26.779 --> 00:22:28.079 Of something being announced 00:22:28.079 --> 00:22:29.079 From a higher place 00:22:29.079 --> 00:22:30.200 To a lower place 00:22:30.200 --> 00:22:33.779 And when we announce 00:22:33.779 --> 00:22:34.740 The gospel 00:22:34.740 --> 00:22:35.980 We are announcing 00:22:35.980 --> 00:22:37.379 The glory of Christ 00:22:37.379 --> 00:22:38.859 Down to our fallen 00:22:38.859 --> 00:22:39.980 And broken lives 00:22:39.980 --> 00:22:40.859 And to the world 00:22:40.859 --> 00:22:41.720 Around us 00:22:41.720 --> 00:22:43.740 And so there is 00:22:43.740 --> 00:22:44.519 A sense 00:22:44.519 --> 00:22:46.240 In which 00:22:46.240 --> 00:22:47.480 When we take 00:22:47.480 --> 00:22:48.460 The Lord's table 00:22:48.460 --> 00:22:49.579 We are 00:22:49.579 --> 00:22:50.980 We are announcing 00:22:50.980 --> 00:22:52.240 The supremacy 00:22:52.240 --> 00:22:53.059 Of Christ 00:22:53.059 --> 00:22:54.279 And we're announcing 00:22:54.279 --> 00:22:55.640 The significance 00:22:55.640 --> 00:22:57.000 And the sufficiency 00:22:57.000 --> 00:22:57.880 Of the gospel 00:22:57.880 --> 00:22:58.819 Do you understand that? 00:22:59.440 --> 00:23:00.940 I believe 00:23:00.940 --> 00:23:03.000 Jesus died for me 00:23:03.000 --> 00:23:05.579 And this is the best news 00:23:05.579 --> 00:23:07.059 In the world 00:23:07.059 --> 00:23:10.240 Now listen to me 00:23:10.240 --> 00:23:14.680 How can you say that 00:23:14.680 --> 00:23:18.600 And not believe it? 00:23:19.539 --> 00:23:20.420 Do you follow that? 00:23:21.700 --> 00:23:22.299 Let me give you 00:23:22.299 --> 00:23:22.720 An illustration 00:23:22.720 --> 00:23:23.680 Just so you follow along 00:23:23.680 --> 00:23:26.180 I have been 00:23:26.180 --> 00:23:26.980 To several 00:23:26.980 --> 00:23:28.900 Graduations 00:23:28.900 --> 00:23:30.580 Of two of my sons 00:23:30.580 --> 00:23:31.360 Went into the military 00:23:31.360 --> 00:23:33.019 And two of my grandsons 00:23:33.019 --> 00:23:33.700 Have been in the military 00:23:33.700 --> 00:23:34.259 So far 00:23:34.259 --> 00:23:34.660 And so 00:23:34.660 --> 00:23:36.180 I kind of like 00:23:36.180 --> 00:23:37.480 Military graduations 00:23:37.480 --> 00:23:40.279 And one of the things 00:23:40.279 --> 00:23:40.860 That goes with 00:23:40.860 --> 00:23:42.160 Military graduations 00:23:42.160 --> 00:23:43.440 Is a lot of flag business 00:23:43.440 --> 00:23:43.839 How many of you 00:23:43.839 --> 00:23:44.480 Understand that? 00:23:44.799 --> 00:23:45.400 Flag this 00:23:45.400 --> 00:23:46.099 Flag that 00:23:46.099 --> 00:23:47.299 And you stand 00:23:47.299 --> 00:23:47.920 And you sing 00:23:47.920 --> 00:23:48.799 The national anthem 00:23:48.799 --> 00:23:50.620 And I'm all into singing 00:23:50.620 --> 00:23:51.000 I mean how many

00:23:53.819 --> 00:23:54.900 But I do sing 00:23:54.900 --> 00:23:57.900 And I even 00:23:57.900 --> 00:23:59.319 A judgmental person 00:23:59.319 --> 00:23:59.660 That I am 00:23:59.660 --> 00:24:00.339 I'm kind of looking around 00:24:00.339 --> 00:24:01.039 And I see people 00:24:01.039 --> 00:24:02.480 They're not singing 00:24:02.480 --> 00:24:03.839 Well I'm thinking 00:24:03.839 --> 00:24:04.920 Maybe they're not citizens 00:24:04.920 --> 00:24:06.900 I mean if you're not a citizen 00:24:06.900 --> 00:24:07.800 Don't sing the song 00:24:07.800 --> 00:24:10.540 Yeah 00:24:10.540 --> 00:24:15.560 Yeah just chewing gum 00:24:15.560 --> 00:24:19.560 But if you are 00:24:19.560 --> 00:24:20.400 A citizen 00:24:20.400 --> 00:24:22.380 And particularly 00:24:22.380 --> 00:24:23.340 If you're in the military 00:24:23.340 --> 00:24:25.160 When you're singing 00:24:25.160 --> 00:24:26.220 When everybody else 00:24:26.220 --> 00:24:27.220 Is singing the national anthem 00:24:27.220 --> 00:24:27.800 What do you think 00:24:27.800 --> 00:24:28.700 They expect from you? 00:24:30.040 --> 00:24:31.080 I mean as the camera 00:24:31.080 --> 00:24:31.860 Is panning through 00:24:31.860 --> 00:24:32.980 The audience you know 00:24:32.980 --> 00:24:34.160 And your CO 00:24:34.160 --> 00:24:34.759 Is going to be 00:24:34.759 --> 00:24:35.460 Kind of reading 00:24:35.460

00:24:47.960 --> 00:24:48.799 Public testimony 00:24:48.799 --> 00:24:49.639 To what we believe 00:24:49.639 --> 00:24:50.379 About Jesus 00:24:50.379 --> 00:24:53.000 Huh? 00:24:53.740 -->
