Who's a liar, but he didn't deny that Jesus is the Messiah, or Christ? 01:14.720 --> 01:16.141 [SPEAKER_00]: He is anti-Christ. 01:16.201 --> 01:19.043 [SPEAKER_00]: And as I mentioned before, he's anti-Jesus. 01:19.704 --> 01:22.365 [SPEAKER_00]: The one that denies the Father and the Son. 01:23.166 --> 01:26.267 [SPEAKER_00]: His whoever denies the Son, the same has not the Father. 01:26.708 --> 01:35.832 [SPEAKER_00]: This is the talisize, and some born have, because it's added in the King James, the talisize, the heed that acknowledges the Son half the Father also. 01:35.892 --> 01:42.535 [SPEAKER_00]: So basically, he's reiterating in a different way what was said, good thought, good thing. 01:43.116 --> 01:43.836 [SPEAKER_00]: Verse 24. 01:45.337 --> 01:47.058 [SPEAKER_00]: Let that therefore abide in you, 01:50.392 --> 01:59.818 [SPEAKER_00]: If that was you have heard from the beginning, shall remain in you, you shall also continue in the sun and in the Father. 02:00.398 --> 02:04.020 [SPEAKER_00]: So I'm gonna say this at the beginning and then we're gonna conclude with it tonight. 02:04.461 --> 02:13.006 [SPEAKER_00]: Does anybody remember in chapter number one, there was a connection between you, the Father and the Sun. 02:13.526 --> 02:16.988 [SPEAKER_00]: Does anybody remember the word that was talked about 02:20.403 --> 02:21.664 [SPEAKER_00]: Fellowship, very good. 02:21.684 --> 02:23.606 [SPEAKER_00]: You get an A plus for the night, good. 02:24.166 --> 02:28.290 [SPEAKER_00]: So we have fellowship with the Father and the Son. 02:28.310 --> 02:32.233 [SPEAKER_00]: I thought our fellowship was with just God. 02:32.494 --> 02:36.797 [SPEAKER_00]: Well, my fellowship with Jesus, your fellowshiping with God. 02:37.318 --> 02:40.681 [SPEAKER_00]: And if you're fellowshiping with the Father, you're fellowshiping with God. 02:41.101 --> 02:46.146 [SPEAKER_00]: And when you're fellowshiping with one, here he's saying, you're fellowshiping with both. 02:47.880 --> 02:52.105 [SPEAKER_00]: They're inseparable, so that's what we're going to conclude. 02:52.505 --> 03:00.213 [SPEAKER_00]: So in verse 21, he is saying to them, I'm writing to you, and I'm going to put it in a positive way, because you know the truth. 03:01.234 --> 03:07.300 [SPEAKER_00]: Well, that's a good thought for a minister to say to all the people in the church. 03:08.161 --> 03:09.503 [SPEAKER_00]: You know the truth. 03:11.332 --> 03:14.094 [SPEAKER_00]: Do we all know the truth? 03:14.774 --> 03:19.557 [SPEAKER_00]: And the question is, in this text, what is the truth that he's talking about? 03:20.618 --> 03:23.240 [SPEAKER_00]: Is it a generic one plus one equals two? 03:23.260 --> 03:24.621 [SPEAKER_00]: What's truth? 03:25.161 --> 03:25.501 [SPEAKER_00]: Okay? 03:26.722 --> 03:27.963 [SPEAKER_00]: People invented things. 03:28.063 --> 03:29.364 [SPEAKER_00]: Those are true things, you know? 03:30.104 --> 03:31.966 [SPEAKER_00]: Israel's a nation, that's a true thing. 03:32.486 --> 03:35.488 [SPEAKER_00]: But what is the truth that he's talking about? 03:36.509 --> 03:37.109 [SPEAKER_00]: What do you think? 03:38.090 --> 03:38.250 [SPEAKER_00]: Mike? 03:39.358 --> 03:41.345 [SPEAKER_00]: That will be the easiest way of singing, right? 03:41.727 --> 03:42.871 [SPEAKER_00]: So what's our verse for that? 03:45.116 --> 03:45.636 [SPEAKER_00]: Yep, there it is. 03:45.877 --> 03:47.438 [SPEAKER_00]: So John 14-6, right? 03:47.678 --> 03:48.578 [SPEAKER_00]: I put you on the spot. 03:48.778 --> 03:49.719 [SPEAKER_00]: I prepared this. 03:50.119 --> 03:50.499 [SPEAKER_00]: Okay. 03:50.720 --> 03:51.980 [SPEAKER_00]: So I put him on the spot. 03:52.000 --> 03:54.342 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and that's one of the verses that we're going to talk about. 03:54.842 --> 03:57.824 [SPEAKER_00]: And Jesus said, I am the way the truth and the life, right? 03:58.204 --> 03:59.505 [SPEAKER_00]: So I am the truth. 03:59.885 --> 04:02.307 [SPEAKER_00]: So I was listening to a guy years ago. 04:02.327 --> 04:03.688 [SPEAKER_00]: I only how many years ago. 04:04.308 --> 04:09.892 [SPEAKER_00]: And he said it and I always say it the same way that he did because I really appreciated it. 04:11.320 --> 04:17.265 [SPEAKER_00]: his said truth isn't something truth is a person and I like that. 04:18.066 --> 04:20.508 [SPEAKER_00]: There's a lot of things out there that people say what's truth. 04:20.528 --> 04:22.889 [SPEAKER_00]: There's truth, all kinds of truth out there. 04:23.550 --> 04:28.134 [SPEAKER_00]: But when we see it in the scriptures truth is a person not just 04:29.622 --> 04:32.704 [SPEAKER_00]: advice or something we believe in, okay? 04:33.004 --> 04:33.945 [SPEAKER_00]: So, so, so true. 04:34.285 --> 04:37.187 [SPEAKER_00]: So, let's do our a little bit more walking. 04:37.607 --> 04:40.649 [SPEAKER_00]: So, you're going, we're going to be digging in the word again tonight, okay? 04:40.849 --> 04:44.632 [SPEAKER_00]: So, we're going to go to Gospel of John and we're going to go, we already did the 14. 04:45.032 --> 04:45.872 [SPEAKER_00]: So, now we're going to go to 17. 04:48.057 --> 04:50.618 [SPEAKER_00]: And this will be a really good lesson. 04:51.338 --> 05:04.602 [SPEAKER_00]: Those are teach children, teens, et cetera, to help them to understand that again, there's a connection with Jesus as Mike brought up, and now we're gonna show you another thing that Jesus said about truth. 05:05.062 --> 05:11.083 [SPEAKER_00]: And we could most of you could quote it, but we're gonna see it so that you can see this and write the notes down. 05:11.483 --> 05:12.064 [SPEAKER_00]: So John 1717. 05:18.539 --> 05:27.381 [SPEAKER_00]: Not long before the horrific night of the denial and the arrest, et cetera. 05:27.401 --> 05:33.682 [SPEAKER_00]: So this incredible prayer I go back to off through the year and just read it. 05:35.062 --> 05:40.343 [SPEAKER_00]: This is the most powerful prayer of Jesus you will ever want to digest. 05:41.343 --> 05:44.124 [SPEAKER_00]: And this is the text that says, the He prayed for you. 05:46.107 --> 05:46.327 [SPEAKER_00]: you. 05:46.887 --> 05:50.668 [SPEAKER_00]: He literally in this text as our high priest prayed for us. 05:51.168 --> 05:57.130 [SPEAKER_00]: So verse 17, He says, sanctify them through your truth. 05:57.550 --> 05:59.431 [SPEAKER_00]: So what does the word sanctify mean? 06:01.031 --> 06:01.772 [SPEAKER_00]: Set apart, right? 06:01.972 --> 06:02.472 [SPEAKER_00]: Make holy. 06:03.112 --> 06:06.553 [SPEAKER_00]: So He is saying, God set you apart. 06:07.773 --> 06:08.934 [SPEAKER_00]: He doesn't need set apart. 06:10.034 --> 06:10.694 [SPEAKER_00]: He is holy. 06:11.594 --> 06:13.555 [SPEAKER_00]: He's praying for us all. 06:14.547 --> 06:16.728 [SPEAKER_00]: to be holy, to be set apart. 06:17.628 --> 06:22.529 [SPEAKER_00]: And then he goes on, sanctify them, make them holy if you will, through your truth. 06:22.950 --> 06:25.310 [SPEAKER_00]: Thy word is truth. 06:26.191 --> 06:26.791 [SPEAKER_00]: Who's word? 06:27.731 --> 06:28.611 [SPEAKER_00]: Who's he addressing? 06:30.372 --> 06:31.752 [SPEAKER_00]: He's addressing the Father, right? 06:31.972 --> 06:34.273 [SPEAKER_00]: For you as a mediator. 06:35.013 --> 06:37.374 [SPEAKER_00]: Now think about this, Jesus prays. 06:38.394 --> 06:39.635 [SPEAKER_00]: He prays for you. 06:40.754 --> 06:42.196 [SPEAKER_00]: And it was a specific knot. 06:42.436 --> 06:49.766 [SPEAKER_00]: Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray to Lord my soul to keep, which is a really creepy prayer, really creepy. 06:50.307 --> 06:55.694 [SPEAKER_00]: If you teach your kids that, okay, you just analyze it a little while, okay? 06:56.776 --> 06:58.497 [SPEAKER_00]: It's like this really, anyways. 06:59.418 --> 07:00.978 [SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, we're not going to have that for it. 07:01.018 --> 07:06.702 [SPEAKER_00]: He's talking about something important, and that is that the word will be an end. 07:06.722 --> 07:08.823 [SPEAKER_00]: The sanctification happens through the word. 07:09.443 --> 07:13.025 [SPEAKER_00]: The washing of Ephesians 5, washing of water by the word. 07:13.866 --> 07:17.408 [SPEAKER_00]: How shall a young man cleanse his way by taking heed there to according to the word? 07:17.688 --> 07:20.430 [SPEAKER_00]: So the word has this purifying agent. 07:20.710 --> 07:22.991 [SPEAKER_00]: And that's why a lot of Christians won't read it. 07:26.603 --> 07:27.604 [SPEAKER_00]: it's going to be life changing. 07:27.684 --> 07:28.424 [SPEAKER_00]: I don't want to read that. 07:28.604 --> 07:29.925 [SPEAKER_00]: I am fine the way I am. 07:29.965 --> 07:31.266 [SPEAKER_00]: I don't want God messing it up. 07:32.146 --> 07:32.367 [SPEAKER_00]: Right? 07:32.747 --> 07:34.268 [SPEAKER_00]: So that's the hardened heart. 07:34.928 --> 07:35.789 [SPEAKER_00]: Don't have hardened heart. 07:36.169 --> 07:36.889 [SPEAKER_00]: It's be soft. 07:37.590 --> 07:40.532 [SPEAKER_00]: So here again, God says his word is truth. 07:41.672 --> 07:45.294 [SPEAKER_00]: And we know Jesus said a few chapters earlier, I am truth. 07:46.115 --> 07:48.657 [SPEAKER_00]: Now connect John chapter one with me. 07:48.817 --> 07:49.737 [SPEAKER_00]: What'd you please? 07:50.538 --> 07:51.238 [SPEAKER_00]: Somebody got it? 07:51.758 --> 07:52.299 [SPEAKER_00]: Mike's ready. 07:53.299 --> 07:54.200 [SPEAKER_00]: He is the word, right? 07:55.926 --> 07:58.467 [SPEAKER_00]: He's the eternal word from the very beginning. 07:58.927 --> 08:05.170 [SPEAKER_00]: And therefore, the word of God is Jesus, the word is truth, Jesus is truth. 08:05.310 --> 08:06.971 [SPEAKER_00]: It's as though you're saying the same thing. 08:08.111 --> 08:12.293 [SPEAKER_00]: So, and Christ, the eternal word, sanctifies and cleanses us. 08:13.194 --> 08:19.536 [SPEAKER_00]: So, have you ever studied the Bible by first mentioned principle? 08:22.178 --> 08:22.758 [SPEAKER_00]: Anybody do that? 08:23.178 --> 08:23.918 [SPEAKER_00]: Come on, anybody? 08:26.192 --> 08:27.173 [SPEAKER_00]: I figured those two would. 08:28.133 --> 08:28.813 [SPEAKER_00]: And that's a good thing. 08:29.114 --> 08:30.875 [SPEAKER_00]: So I'm going to teach you how to do this. 08:31.475 --> 08:32.735 [SPEAKER_00]: And this is really, really neat. 08:32.976 --> 08:35.277 [SPEAKER_00]: So go with me to Genesis 24, 27. 08:35.297 --> 08:49.664 [SPEAKER_00]: Remember the story where Abraham has a son, his name's Isaac, and there was a problem with Isaac and the posterity. 08:51.585 --> 08:52.466 [SPEAKER_00]: He needed someone. 08:56.102 --> 08:58.363 [SPEAKER_00]: He need a bride, he needed a wife. 08:59.044 --> 09:09.371 [SPEAKER_00]: So, Abraham sends a guy, the servant, his unnamed guy, and he goes out and like Lord, have somebody do this and this and this and then I'll know this is the girl for him. 09:10.912 --> 09:12.953 [SPEAKER_00]: And he didn't bring up, make her pretty. 09:14.232 --> 09:24.499 [SPEAKER_00]: So this is the servant and all of this happened where, you know, she said, I'll do this because the water, I mean, all this great detail in what he asked for. 09:24.880 --> 09:32.385 [SPEAKER_00]: And now read with me 2427, if what we're going to read, let me get to the right verse here. 09:33.910 --> 09:35.051 [SPEAKER_00]: 24, 27. 09:36.052 --> 09:37.293 [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, here it is. 09:38.054 --> 09:50.526 [SPEAKER_00]: And he, the servant, said, blessed be the Lord God of my master Abraham who has not left a destitute my master of his mercy and his truth. 09:51.366 --> 09:51.807 [SPEAKER_00]: There it is. 09:53.793 --> 10:03.283 [SPEAKER_00]: I bring in the way the Lord led me to the house of my master's brethren, all the stars were lining up. 10:03.904 --> 10:09.229 [SPEAKER_00]: Everything had had to happen, happened to the crossing of every tea and the dotting of every eye. 10:09.650 --> 10:10.611 [SPEAKER_00]: Everything happened. 10:11.091 --> 10:14.974 [SPEAKER_00]: for his master to get a bride for his son. 10:15.654 --> 10:17.556 [SPEAKER_00]: And he's like, this is amazing. 10:17.976 --> 10:22.059 [SPEAKER_00]: And he says, you have not, you God have not left. 10:22.639 --> 10:28.163 [SPEAKER_00]: My master, I kept him away from mercy and his truth. 10:28.584 --> 10:32.867 [SPEAKER_00]: And it's interesting in this text to see how God was answering prayer. 10:34.253 --> 10:38.559 [SPEAKER_00]: giving signs laying out everything and he includes the word truth. 10:39.240 --> 10:41.683 [SPEAKER_00]: So you can do that with a lot of different words. 10:42.244 --> 10:43.125 [SPEAKER_00]: Like grace. 10:44.240 --> 10:45.841 [SPEAKER_00]: the first time graces mentioned. 10:46.602 --> 10:56.769 [SPEAKER_00]: So you go back, it's interesting to see where it was first used, and then you see if you will the definition of it, then being able to be used throughout the rest of the scriptures. 10:57.049 --> 10:58.650 [SPEAKER_00]: You're welcome, that was all free. 10:59.130 --> 11:06.235 [SPEAKER_00]: That's a good way to study the Bible though, because then it gives you an understanding, where did it all start? 11:06.795 --> 11:07.496 [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, good. 11:08.497 --> 11:08.757 [SPEAKER_00]: Next. 11:10.329 --> 11:20.878 [SPEAKER_00]: So the servant finds Rebecca for Isaac, gay, everything great, and so it's a beautiful thing that mercy and truth were mentioned there. 11:21.018 --> 11:25.122 [SPEAKER_00]: We're going to be talking about that probably a little bit, sunny morning. 11:25.803 --> 11:27.284 [SPEAKER_00]: So we're talking about truth. 11:27.464 --> 11:29.326 [SPEAKER_00]: Now, let's go back to our text. 11:31.307 --> 11:37.393 [SPEAKER_00]: And before you look down at it, does anybody remember what the next subject is that God talks about? 11:40.310 --> 11:40.770 [SPEAKER_00]: That's okay. 11:40.850 --> 11:41.891 [SPEAKER_00]: I studied this out. 11:41.951 --> 11:47.773 [SPEAKER_00]: You didn't, but you know why I asked questions, because it helps you to remember it. 11:49.374 --> 12:00.659 [SPEAKER_00]: You remember, Sunday morning and last several Wednesdays, I've been talking about how God teaches by contrast, light, darkness, life, death, you know, all these distinctions. 12:01.019 --> 12:03.480 [SPEAKER_00]: Well, what's the opposite of truth? 12:04.748 --> 12:06.209 [SPEAKER_00]: Guess what the next subject is? 12:06.649 --> 12:09.611 [SPEAKER_00]: Again, God's gonna teach through these opposites. 12:10.211 --> 12:12.653 [SPEAKER_00]: So now we know Jesus is a truth. 12:13.273 --> 12:17.256 [SPEAKER_00]: I wonder who the opposite would be? 12:19.217 --> 12:20.758 [SPEAKER_00]: Somebody we've been talking about, right? 12:20.998 --> 12:24.781 [SPEAKER_00]: The anti-Christ, or those who are anti-Jesus, okay? 12:25.141 --> 12:26.202 [SPEAKER_00]: So verse 22. 12:27.282 --> 12:29.684 [SPEAKER_00]: Here's the question, who is a liar? 12:30.424 --> 12:31.405 [SPEAKER_00]: You ever been called a liar? 12:33.752 --> 12:35.232 [SPEAKER_00]: And let me ask you this way. 12:35.592 --> 12:38.733 [SPEAKER_00]: Has anybody never been told you're a liar? 12:40.894 --> 12:54.557 [SPEAKER_00]: Wow, we have an honest bunch here tonight where all guilty of being a liar at some point in our life, probably at the wicked age of whatever, you know, when you're, you're lying to me, I told you, I know the truth, you know? 12:55.097 --> 12:58.378 [SPEAKER_00]: And so, so, what does it mean? 12:59.198 --> 12:59.739 [SPEAKER_00]: It was them. 13:00.379 --> 13:00.959 [SPEAKER_00]: I didn't do it. 13:03.442 --> 13:04.302 [SPEAKER_00]: kids are awesome. 13:06.703 --> 13:12.446 [SPEAKER_00]: I think children help me to understand God more than anyone else on this earth. 13:14.406 --> 13:15.127 [SPEAKER_00]: I love kids. 13:16.187 --> 13:29.752 [SPEAKER_00]: And you know, you see yourself in them, you see your good, you see your bad, you see yourself and how they treat you like you treat God the Father sometimes. 13:30.753 --> 13:30.993 [SPEAKER_00]: And it's 13:32.670 --> 13:36.152 [SPEAKER_00]: Can't just talk to me, you know, you got a problem on what you're coming talk. 13:36.372 --> 13:37.653 [SPEAKER_00]: I don't want to talk about it. 13:38.973 --> 13:43.336 [SPEAKER_00]: How many times are we not talking to God when He wants us to talk to Him? 13:44.056 --> 13:46.438 [SPEAKER_00]: Like I got this, I know how to fix it. 13:47.298 --> 13:48.539 [SPEAKER_00]: You know what I want to help you, I know. 13:50.019 --> 13:51.180 [SPEAKER_00]: I love kids. 13:51.540 --> 13:51.840 [SPEAKER_00]: I know. 13:54.082 --> 13:58.784 [SPEAKER_00]: Well, if you knew why will we have in this problem because you're not doing it right, okay? 13:59.305 --> 14:00.625 [SPEAKER_00]: You need to do it this way, I know. 14:03.121 --> 14:07.702 [SPEAKER_00]: You fail, and you come back and say, how am I supposed to do that exactly? 14:08.042 --> 14:09.943 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and that's how we do it with God. 14:10.223 --> 14:11.343 [SPEAKER_00]: We'll try to do it our own. 14:11.583 --> 14:15.304 [SPEAKER_00]: I know, so this is the nature. 14:16.444 --> 14:29.087 [SPEAKER_00]: We all have the sinful nature, but there is something here that he's going to be bringing up about these who are literally liars, deceivers, anti-Jesus. 14:30.284 --> 14:36.386 [SPEAKER_00]: You know, John 844, you are of your father, the devil, the lusts of your father, you're gonna be doing those. 14:36.826 --> 14:40.228 [SPEAKER_00]: He's, you know, lying to seabing murder or basically. 14:41.128 --> 14:45.709 [SPEAKER_00]: And so those who follow him will be part of that. 14:47.310 --> 14:58.334 [SPEAKER_00]: One thing, and I'm a preaching at you, you know, don't feel that, but maybe this will help somebody here tonight. 15:00.480 --> 15:15.667 [SPEAKER_00]: Many of us, when we were unsaved, we lived a lie, and we would lie, and then we'd have to try to remember that lie so that we cover that lie up with another lie. 15:17.247 --> 15:21.089 [SPEAKER_00]: And before long, you don't even remember what the reality is. 15:22.471 --> 15:26.212 [SPEAKER_00]: And I, you know, I had this one guy, he, you know, pound them in door. 15:26.712 --> 15:27.033 [SPEAKER_00]: What's up? 15:27.613 --> 15:29.113 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm, I'm always gonna leave me. 15:29.293 --> 15:31.054 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, okay, oh, what'd you do? 15:31.074 --> 15:32.334 [SPEAKER_00]: I lied. 15:32.354 --> 15:36.936 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, okay, what'd you lie about? 15:37.676 --> 15:38.717 [SPEAKER_00]: Going to my mom's house. 15:42.038 --> 15:45.179 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, well, why would you lie about going to your mother's house? 15:46.319 --> 15:51.001 [SPEAKER_00]: Because I don't know, I just lie to lie. 15:52.027 --> 16:02.075 [SPEAKER_00]: and then I'm sitting down with his wife and she said, now let's true, he lied about he was at his mom's house and he came home and said, I wasn't at mom's house. 16:03.636 --> 16:06.499 [SPEAKER_00]: Like she would have been mad at, he went to his mother's house. 16:07.419 --> 16:17.948 [SPEAKER_00]: But it's almost like when you live in paranoia and you're always trying to just not be known for who you really are, you're just going to be a liar. 16:23.107 --> 16:31.413 [SPEAKER_00]: How many times are we trying to lie to God and not give him who we really are and what we've really done? 16:31.433 --> 16:38.798 [SPEAKER_00]: And our doubts, our confusions, our impatience. 16:39.719 --> 16:43.522 [SPEAKER_00]: You know, I found the order I get is like, I don't even know what I'm waiting for, Lord. 16:44.002 --> 16:47.665 [SPEAKER_00]: This is my brain right now, because he knows it already anyways. 16:49.213 --> 16:54.399 [SPEAKER_00]: I don't love the way I should, I don't show grace away I should, I don't show mercy the way I should, I'm self-centered at the time. 16:54.439 --> 16:57.703 [SPEAKER_00]: All these things like God help me with this when I'm crazy. 16:59.065 --> 17:05.693 [SPEAKER_00]: So we have to be honest with God because if you're not speaking to truth, you're hiding it. 17:07.367 --> 17:08.288 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, my helping you? 17:08.928 --> 17:11.590 [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, so now we're getting into the text. 17:12.030 --> 17:13.131 [SPEAKER_00]: Who is this liar? 17:13.371 --> 17:17.374 [SPEAKER_00]: It says, he that denies that Jesus is the Christ. 17:17.794 --> 17:18.895 [SPEAKER_00]: Now that's the key here. 17:19.775 --> 17:22.517 [SPEAKER_00]: What is Christ mean? 17:24.739 --> 17:25.899 [SPEAKER_00]: Nope, that's Jesus. 17:26.780 --> 17:28.601 [SPEAKER_00]: He shall save his people from their sin. 17:29.082 --> 17:34.365 [SPEAKER_00]: Lord is Master, Christ, Messiah. 17:37.316 --> 17:41.717 [SPEAKER_00]: So, we use these words all the time we read them all the time. 17:42.317 --> 17:59.722 [SPEAKER_00]: Oftentimes it is Lord Jesus Christ is the full name, and that's why getting definition down the Messiah who was prophesied about, who is Lord of all creation, has come to save his people from their sin. 17:59.742 --> 18:03.823 [SPEAKER_00]: Now, shall call his name Jesus for he shall save his people from their sin, right? 18:04.684 --> 18:15.369 [SPEAKER_00]: So now let's look at this thought of Messiah Christ from the old testament and then I'm going to bring you right through, okay? 18:15.769 --> 18:19.811 [SPEAKER_00]: So can you help me tonight? 18:20.991 --> 18:23.252 [SPEAKER_00]: So can somebody get Isaiah 714? 18:23.292 --> 18:25.293 [SPEAKER_00]: You're going to be familiar with that. 18:25.353 --> 18:26.234 [SPEAKER_00]: Dennis, you got that one? 18:26.614 --> 18:29.135 [SPEAKER_00]: I need somebody to get Isaiah 967, 18:35.157 --> 18:36.638 [SPEAKER_00]: Nobody, thank you. 18:38.259 --> 18:42.061 [SPEAKER_00]: I need somebody to get due to the Rotomy 1815. 18:42.121 --> 18:44.162 [SPEAKER_00]: That's a New Old Testament. 18:44.682 --> 18:45.242 [SPEAKER_00]: Got that one? 18:45.742 --> 18:48.404 [SPEAKER_00]: And then Mike of 52, you got that one, Sandy? 18:49.564 --> 18:49.804 [SPEAKER_00]: Good. 18:51.661 --> 18:53.942 [SPEAKER_00]: And by the way, I'm just going to give you two more. 18:54.242 --> 18:55.942 [SPEAKER_00]: We're going to have to read them all. 18:55.982 --> 19:01.664 [SPEAKER_00]: Zekar A9, Zekar A11, 12 and 13 are prophecies about when the triumphal entry took place. 19:02.405 --> 19:02.905 [SPEAKER_00]: It's right here. 19:02.925 --> 19:05.686 [SPEAKER_00]: So these are their specific prophecies. 19:05.846 --> 19:06.986 [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, let's go ahead and have them. 19:07.206 --> 19:09.007 [SPEAKER_00]: So the first one is Isaiah 714. 19:11.665 --> 19:12.065 [SPEAKER_00]: There you go. 19:12.486 --> 19:22.995 [SPEAKER_00]: So that's Christmas, that's a prophecy that a woman down the road would not have intimacy and she's going to have a son, she's going to have the aversion and bring for somebody. 19:23.276 --> 19:30.242 [SPEAKER_00]: And the only one that was fulfilled through was Jesus, it's a prediction of Messiah coming. 19:30.703 --> 19:30.923 [SPEAKER_00]: Okay? 19:31.483 --> 19:32.905 [SPEAKER_00]: Next one, nine, six. 19:34.557 --> 19:37.499 [SPEAKER_00]: Wow, that's a whole lot of titles, isn't it? 19:38.400 --> 19:42.123 [SPEAKER_00]: So if you were a Jew, you'd be like, well, who could fulfill all of that? 19:43.324 --> 19:45.686 [SPEAKER_00]: Who could be called the mighty God? 19:47.968 --> 19:49.389 [SPEAKER_00]: And we know the answer, don't we? 19:49.689 --> 19:53.852 [SPEAKER_00]: So again, this is a prediction of Messiah that is coming. 19:54.513 --> 19:55.854 [SPEAKER_00]: We're gonna go through the rest of them then. 19:56.134 --> 19:57.195 [SPEAKER_00]: What have we got? 19:57.736 --> 19:59.457 [SPEAKER_00]: Dude Ron and me, 18, you got that one, Tim? 20:01.160 --> 20:01.540 [SPEAKER_00]: And there you go. 20:01.941 --> 20:03.061 [SPEAKER_00]: So this is a prediction. 20:03.362 --> 20:08.746 [SPEAKER_00]: Remember, in the office of Jesus Christ, is prophet, priests, and king. 20:09.086 --> 20:15.411 [SPEAKER_00]: And that's where they get the prophet from, because he was prophetic in, in, in, et cetera. 20:15.671 --> 20:16.552 [SPEAKER_00]: So Mike of five, too. 20:18.361 --> 20:31.898 [SPEAKER_00]: So, if you couldn't hear that, this is, again, Christmas, that Judah is going to be the one that's going to bring this one who was going to be a roller, it's interesting, who has been from everlasting. 20:33.265 --> 20:38.632 [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, from the Psalm 90, it says, from everlasting to everlasting to our God. 20:39.393 --> 20:49.487 [SPEAKER_00]: And so this is really important because you, in your text, said he's God, now you're saying this one that is coming has always been in existence. 20:51.052 --> 20:53.933 [SPEAKER_00]: I have no idea what your whole witnesses do with these verses. 20:54.954 --> 20:56.395 [SPEAKER_00]: It has to give them hiccups. 20:57.115 --> 21:01.677 [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, this is so clear who Jesus Christ really is, right? 21:02.438 --> 21:03.938 [SPEAKER_00]: Which is important for us to know. 21:04.519 --> 21:17.425 [SPEAKER_00]: And so the Old Testament, when you look at Messiah, it will be translated the anointed one. 21:18.608 --> 21:20.209 [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, be anointed one. 21:20.949 --> 21:31.815 [SPEAKER_00]: So there's a couple of places that actually it's in Daniel 9, 25 and 26, we studied all of this out in the past. 21:32.175 --> 21:33.396 [SPEAKER_00]: We don't have to go through it again. 21:33.696 --> 21:39.740 [SPEAKER_00]: But in that text, it actually says until Messiah comes. 21:40.620 --> 21:46.503 [SPEAKER_00]: So that's rare for the actual name, Messiah, to be in the Old Testament, referencing the coming one. 21:46.983 --> 21:52.466 [SPEAKER_00]: But you'll see it with anointed one, and then all of also these prophecies. 21:53.306 --> 22:02.110 [SPEAKER_00]: Psalm 2, 2, that they have raised their hand against God's anointed, and they're going to go against him and try to destroy him. 22:02.491 --> 22:04.952 [SPEAKER_00]: So again, Psalm 2 is prophetic. 22:05.812 --> 22:09.294 [SPEAKER_00]: we may get into some of that next year on sunny mornings. 22:09.634 --> 22:11.855 [SPEAKER_00]: So you say, why do you go through all of that? 22:12.955 --> 22:17.838 [SPEAKER_00]: Because I want you to go with me to Matthew now and chapter number 10. 22:18.178 --> 22:22.620 [SPEAKER_00]: And this will pull everything we just learned together. 22:25.261 --> 22:28.322 [SPEAKER_00]: Matthew 10, and we're going to read verse 32. 22:28.503 --> 22:33.405 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so we're going to start with this one. 22:34.448 --> 22:34.928 [SPEAKER_00]: No, we're not. 22:35.109 --> 22:36.610 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to change my mind. 22:37.150 --> 22:38.271 [SPEAKER_00]: My love to change my mind. 22:40.092 --> 22:48.879 [SPEAKER_00]: You can highlight that, but it's a woman's prerogative to change her mind at any given time. 22:49.940 --> 22:52.422 [SPEAKER_00]: And as many times as she wants, right? 22:54.403 --> 22:56.344 [SPEAKER_00]: Go to John with me, John 9. 23:05.404 --> 23:07.166 [SPEAKER_00]: We're going to read a couple of texts here. 23:07.226 --> 23:09.309 [SPEAKER_00]: Look at that, 1922. 23:11.411 --> 23:13.173 [SPEAKER_00]: So, remember what John Nines about? 23:14.615 --> 23:17.879 [SPEAKER_00]: It's about the blind man who was healed by Jesus. 23:19.481 --> 23:24.246 [SPEAKER_00]: So, he's healed and then who grabs him and takes him into a trial. 23:25.958 --> 23:28.219 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, they'd be before the Sanhedrin, right? 23:28.479 --> 23:32.800 [SPEAKER_00]: He'd be before the elite, and they're like troubling him left and right. 23:33.501 --> 23:37.082 [SPEAKER_00]: And so, here's in that setting, in verse 22. 23:37.622 --> 23:42.644 [SPEAKER_00]: These words spake his parents because they feared the Jews. 23:43.264 --> 23:48.391 [SPEAKER_00]: Why did these parents of this blind man who is healed, why did they fear the Jews? 23:48.652 --> 23:58.085 [SPEAKER_00]: For the Jews had agreed already that if any man did confess that he, Jesus, was the Messiah Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue. 23:59.725 --> 24:07.888 [SPEAKER_00]: The key for the Jews is the fact that he is claiming to be in the Messiah, and we can't agree with that. 24:08.469 --> 24:29.037 [SPEAKER_00]: So therefore, if you say Jesus is the anointed one of all of these prophecies, that Jesus finally came and fulfilled all of them from the virgin birth to the future king of Israel and the king of the world, if you say Jesus is the one, you're out here, excommunicated. 24:30.075 --> 24:32.797 [SPEAKER_00]: and you will be under trial and we're going to go after you. 24:33.137 --> 24:43.563 [SPEAKER_00]: There's one place to talk to about even some of the Pharisees that believe that Jesus was Messiah, but didn't say anything because they knew that they'd be kicked out of the synagogue. 24:44.564 --> 24:47.286 [SPEAKER_00]: They were saved, but they wanted to keep a job. 24:47.906 --> 24:50.348 [SPEAKER_00]: They didn't want to ruffle feathers if you will. 24:51.688 --> 24:52.049 [SPEAKER_00]: And so, 24:53.171 --> 25:08.497 [SPEAKER_00]: This whole thing of Messiah, the anointed one, and Jesus being this one, is a fulfillment of the entire Old Testament starting from Genesis 315, right up through Dezacaraya. 25:09.077 --> 25:10.978 [SPEAKER_00]: Well, Malica, I mean, he just goes right through. 25:11.638 --> 25:16.020 [SPEAKER_00]: And so now, he's on the scene, and the Jews are saying, you're not him. 25:17.821 --> 25:19.922 [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, he's resurrecting people from the dead. 25:20.880 --> 25:27.027 [SPEAKER_00]: He's healing four and five thousand people at a time, which is a little bit, but you're not Messiah. 25:27.767 --> 25:33.414 [SPEAKER_00]: You're healing the lame, you're not the Messiah because you're doing it on Saturday, as I refer in Sunday morning. 25:33.894 --> 25:40.962 [SPEAKER_00]: Your evil, you should be, you should be so in and kill Jesus, how dare you work on the Sabbath day by healing people. 25:45.618 --> 25:47.359 [SPEAKER_00]: So now we're back to first John. 25:47.899 --> 25:57.004 [SPEAKER_00]: Maybe this will now give you a little more relevance to why God is bringing this up to the church. 26:00.847 --> 26:10.272 [SPEAKER_00]: You know the truth, and now I'm asking you, who's a liar, and the answer is, anyone that denies that Jesus is that one? 26:11.910 --> 26:12.730 [SPEAKER_00]: He is that one. 26:13.271 --> 26:23.296 [SPEAKER_00]: I believe if people are rejecting Jesus Christ as God, they're believing in the wrong Jesus, period, period. 26:23.637 --> 26:25.157 [SPEAKER_00]: You say, well, they're believing in Jesus. 26:26.918 --> 26:37.965 [SPEAKER_00]: But if they say Jesus is just a great prophet, was a great man, because even the Jews recognized his presence, if they didn't see him as their Messiah, well, they believe that he came, 26:38.856 --> 26:40.177 [SPEAKER_00]: and they have crosses everywhere. 26:40.777 --> 26:42.758 [SPEAKER_00]: They're making all kinds of money on crosses over there. 26:42.858 --> 26:44.459 [SPEAKER_00]: They're making all kinds of money on the tomb. 26:45.220 --> 26:47.561 [SPEAKER_00]: Maybe you go right into a bookstore as soon as you leave the tomb. 26:48.542 --> 26:50.163 [SPEAKER_00]: Kind of feel like you're in ship to want to. 26:51.424 --> 26:53.745 [SPEAKER_00]: Hey, let's rip off the English. 26:53.825 --> 26:56.727 [SPEAKER_00]: You know, let's get as much money as we can to buy more, buy more. 26:56.747 --> 26:58.168 [SPEAKER_00]: Well, that's what's going on over there. 26:59.148 --> 27:01.830 [SPEAKER_00]: And so they know it, but they don't believe it. 27:03.966 --> 27:09.092 [SPEAKER_00]: So there are many that would say, yeah, Jesus was a great man, but let me take you to Wester. 27:09.593 --> 27:11.415 [SPEAKER_00]: So, what's really important? 27:11.795 --> 27:20.886 [SPEAKER_00]: So, I think where we're gonna be heading on Wednesday nights is a series looking at some of the major cults. 27:21.944 --> 27:25.508 [SPEAKER_00]: I think that would be good for us to walk through. 27:25.968 --> 27:31.715 [SPEAKER_00]: So I'm not going to be hammering out, you know, you know, I'm not going to hit everybody. 27:31.735 --> 27:37.621 [SPEAKER_00]: You know, I'm going to be getting the major ones that we would be knowing about in our country. 27:38.162 --> 27:43.568 [SPEAKER_00]: And so basically showing you what they believe and why it is wrong, why do we believe what we believe? 27:44.068 --> 27:52.217 [SPEAKER_00]: Because if we don't know why we believe what we believe, I have been told that Baptist make the best Mormons and Joe over witnesses. 27:54.419 --> 27:58.083 [SPEAKER_00]: Because we didn't know the word, but we're all zealous. 27:58.683 --> 28:05.911 [SPEAKER_00]: And when we hear this false teaching, oh, yeah, I was told that that's wrong because you're telling me different and they just go ahead first. 28:06.571 --> 28:06.751 [SPEAKER_00]: So, 28:07.844 --> 28:08.805 [SPEAKER_00]: So who's a liar? 28:09.066 --> 28:15.194 [SPEAKER_00]: Well, it's a one-to-design that he is the real Messiah and he is anti-Jesus. 28:15.454 --> 28:19.359 [SPEAKER_00]: Now, remember, how many, okay? 28:21.462 --> 28:23.325 [SPEAKER_00]: I don't want to be confusing with my question. 28:24.753 --> 28:34.240 [SPEAKER_00]: We understand, according to what we have studied, there will be one true antichrist that will come on the scene through the tribulation time period. 28:34.580 --> 28:35.721 [SPEAKER_00]: There's not a whole bunch of them. 28:36.001 --> 28:37.222 [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, there's only one. 28:37.302 --> 28:40.164 [SPEAKER_00]: Now, others are going to say, I'm the unicrist, you know, like don't believe them either. 28:40.885 --> 28:41.305 [SPEAKER_00]: And so, 28:42.631 --> 28:44.412 [SPEAKER_00]: It's like Jesus like Matthew 24. 28:44.512 --> 28:47.274 [SPEAKER_00]: Trust me, when I show up in the house, you're gonna know I'm here. 28:47.295 --> 28:51.177 [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, you're not gonna know what, I wonder if that's really the Messiah, okay? 28:51.378 --> 28:53.859 [SPEAKER_00]: So everybody's gonna know when Jesus comes into the house, all right? 28:54.240 --> 29:07.430 [SPEAKER_00]: So, but there is already many anti-christs and now we're learning what he means by what he communicated earlier and is that anybody that denies that Jesus is Messiah 29:08.698 --> 29:14.420 [SPEAKER_00]: the one that fulfilled these scriptures came, died, rose again, coming again. 29:14.680 --> 29:21.883 [SPEAKER_00]: I should say ascended and haven't taken all that Jesus is prophesied about Him or from Him to do. 29:22.243 --> 29:24.624 [SPEAKER_00]: He is the one and He is truth. 29:25.785 --> 29:31.587 [SPEAKER_00]: There's no lie in Him so everything that He prophesied about, we will die for. 29:32.808 --> 29:33.728 [SPEAKER_00]: We would die for it. 29:35.405 --> 29:38.065 [SPEAKER_00]: We want to live for it, but we will be willing to die. 29:38.566 --> 29:41.546 [SPEAKER_00]: So if somebody came up with a gun and said, do you believe Jesus is a Christ? 29:43.806 --> 29:44.427 [SPEAKER_00]: You follow me? 29:44.767 --> 29:45.547 [SPEAKER_00]: And this happens. 29:46.547 --> 29:47.307 [SPEAKER_00]: It has happened. 29:47.347 --> 29:48.147 [SPEAKER_00]: It will happen. 29:49.007 --> 29:50.588 [SPEAKER_00]: And you have to make a choice right there. 29:51.428 --> 29:53.788 [SPEAKER_00]: Are you going to be willing to die for your faith? 29:54.748 --> 29:55.989 [SPEAKER_00]: Wait till it comes to America. 29:57.529 --> 29:59.249 [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if I'll see it in my lifetime. 30:00.529 --> 30:01.210 [SPEAKER_00]: But that's a common. 30:05.972 --> 30:12.761 [SPEAKER_00]: and many of them love Allah, and they kill Jesus people for their God. 30:14.563 --> 30:15.524 [SPEAKER_00]: That's reality. 30:16.966 --> 30:17.667 [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, so... 30:19.176 --> 30:26.139 [SPEAKER_00]: The liar will deny him, they are against him, and then he says they deny both a father and the son. 30:26.439 --> 30:42.025 [SPEAKER_00]: Now, the next verse gives light, says light on that, because what he's getting at is when you deny the son, the same has not, I'm sorry, who short of the denies the son, the same does not have the father, right? 30:43.226 --> 30:45.387 [SPEAKER_00]: So it's like they're both one. 30:49.338 --> 30:51.381 [SPEAKER_00]: Matthew 1032, I'll just reference it now. 30:51.441 --> 30:51.881 [SPEAKER_00]: You know it. 30:52.242 --> 30:55.826 [SPEAKER_00]: By the way, case you brought it up a couple of times to me in our talks. 30:56.267 --> 31:05.459 [SPEAKER_00]: So, Jesus says, if you confess me before men, what does Jesus say I'm going to do? 31:07.830 --> 31:10.792 [SPEAKER_00]: To who is an anniversary of sin? 31:11.672 --> 31:19.837 [SPEAKER_00]: So if you confess Jesus before each other, as we do on a regular basis, Jesus, hey, they're down there bragging on me again. 31:19.997 --> 31:20.898 [SPEAKER_00]: They're talking about me. 31:21.498 --> 31:25.601 [SPEAKER_00]: And then the Father is honored because we spoke in about the Son. 31:26.481 --> 31:31.544 [SPEAKER_00]: Then if any man denies the Son, the same thing is gonna happen up in heaven too. 31:31.764 --> 31:33.405 [SPEAKER_00]: Then you're gonna be denied, if you will. 31:33.666 --> 31:35.547 [SPEAKER_00]: You know, the communication is gonna be there. 31:39.147 --> 31:40.828 [SPEAKER_00]: don't be ashamed of his name. 31:41.849 --> 31:43.710 [SPEAKER_00]: Who he is, what he means. 31:45.671 --> 31:47.592 [SPEAKER_00]: Yep, exactly. 31:47.952 --> 31:50.414 [SPEAKER_00]: And so that's what we wanna do. 31:50.894 --> 31:56.037 [SPEAKER_00]: But the anti, as we saw, is gonna say Jesus isn't the one. 31:56.098 --> 31:57.038 [SPEAKER_00]: He's not the Messiah. 31:57.078 --> 32:01.441 [SPEAKER_00]: He's gonna deny as we saw the text that he is the one. 32:01.821 --> 32:03.122 [SPEAKER_00]: So let's wrap things up. 32:04.243 --> 32:07.785 [SPEAKER_00]: Wait a minute, how do you apply that to your life? 32:09.302 --> 32:09.742 [SPEAKER_00]: Christians. 32:09.882 --> 32:10.923 [SPEAKER_00]: How do we put that? 32:11.203 --> 32:16.206 [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, you have a kid in school and everybody's making fun of them. 32:16.226 --> 32:17.287 [SPEAKER_00]: What are you doing? 32:17.467 --> 32:18.148 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to church. 32:18.208 --> 32:19.388 [SPEAKER_00]: We come on. 32:19.448 --> 32:20.549 [SPEAKER_00]: What would you want to do that for? 32:20.589 --> 32:21.410 [SPEAKER_00]: They make fun of them. 32:21.790 --> 32:33.117 [SPEAKER_00]: And then of course the whole push right now is if they're in a certain age, if they're not a virgin anymore, then they're going to be laughed at and mocked and everything because, you know, man, he's grow up already. 32:33.337 --> 32:50.687 [SPEAKER_00]: So it would be ridiculed in everything because of a Christian because they're not indulging in the sin, they're not doing the drugs, they're not getting drunk, they're not doing those things, they hang out with good people, virtuous people, and they're growing in the Lord, well you're going to be a laughing stalk. 32:50.707 --> 32:53.429 [SPEAKER_00]: I remember in school, I knew who the Christians were. 32:54.630 --> 32:55.830 [SPEAKER_00]: Lord, you remember some of them. 32:55.870 --> 32:59.853 [SPEAKER_00]: They stuck out and I avoided them like a plague. 33:01.205 --> 33:06.449 [SPEAKER_00]: I didn't want to talk to them because I know what they're going to try to do or are going to talk to me about religion or something and I hated that. 33:08.630 --> 33:17.877 [SPEAKER_00]: And so you stick out and I remember how people would avoid them and talk about them and laugh at them and these people love the Lord. 33:19.289 --> 33:20.370 [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, he loved the Lord. 33:21.271 --> 33:25.175 [SPEAKER_00]: And some of them, I wish, you know, some of those, Bangamon, remember, Bangamon. 33:25.595 --> 33:26.837 [SPEAKER_00]: He was, man, good man. 33:27.377 --> 33:28.658 [SPEAKER_00]: And he wrestled with me. 33:29.039 --> 33:32.843 [SPEAKER_00]: And he was the Christian on the wrestling team and nobody touched him. 33:33.964 --> 33:39.269 [SPEAKER_00]: And he was the most sub-level, headed guy on the whole team. 33:39.569 --> 33:40.971 [SPEAKER_00]: He wasn't the greatest wrestler. 33:42.435 --> 33:45.077 [SPEAKER_00]: but he was just, there was something different about him. 33:45.698 --> 33:49.901 [SPEAKER_00]: And then I found out later on that Lord told me the story that he got saved. 33:52.043 --> 34:02.752 [SPEAKER_00]: And when he is a school, when the teachers, the sixth grade teacher, said to him, oh, you didn't need to do that. 34:03.173 --> 34:04.854 [SPEAKER_00]: You were good to weigh you were. 34:08.757 --> 34:09.418 [SPEAKER_00]: He was a pastor. 34:11.494 --> 34:16.697 [SPEAKER_00]: The teacher was a pastor and told him, you didn't need to do that. 34:16.737 --> 34:17.978 [SPEAKER_00]: You were good the way you are. 34:19.058 --> 34:32.386 [SPEAKER_00]: When I'm hit in Sunday morning, I'm telling you, it is out there in our country, just be a good person, keep the tank of Amis, you'll squeak into heaven, you'll be just fine, and these teachers are leading people to hell. 34:35.007 --> 34:39.069 [SPEAKER_00]: And this guy, I remember, and I wish I would 34:41.524 --> 34:46.556 [SPEAKER_00]: I wish I could have had some Christians that really would have taught me what it's all about. 34:46.576 --> 34:49.001 [SPEAKER_00]: Because I was vulnerable, very open. 34:50.529 --> 34:57.271 [SPEAKER_00]: I didn't want the radical, but if somebody would have sat down with me, I think I would have listened to them. 34:58.011 --> 35:01.872 [SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, so we have to, we have to don't be ashamed. 35:02.613 --> 35:06.474 [SPEAKER_00]: It's school, wherever you're at, don't be ashamed. 35:06.694 --> 35:09.434 [SPEAKER_00]: You talk about him, talk about what he's done for you. 35:09.995 --> 35:15.676 [SPEAKER_00]: And I think that's how we're reaching the community that we're in in that's one at a time. 35:16.156 --> 35:17.097 [SPEAKER_00]: So a verse 24 and 25 we close. 35:20.293 --> 35:23.536 [SPEAKER_00]: But that, therefore, abide in you, which you've heard from the beginning. 35:23.756 --> 35:27.899 [SPEAKER_00]: Hmm, what did you hear what did they hear from the beginning? 35:29.020 --> 35:30.001 [SPEAKER_00]: The word, right? 35:30.361 --> 35:40.350 [SPEAKER_00]: And what part of the word was necessary for these people who are the church that he's talking to, what was that they heard from the beginning? 35:43.665 --> 35:44.445 [SPEAKER_00]: They're gospel, right? 35:44.845 --> 35:46.286 [SPEAKER_00]: Because the gospel is how he got saved. 35:46.326 --> 35:47.966 [SPEAKER_00]: It was all about Jesus, death burn, resurrection. 35:48.006 --> 35:55.428 [SPEAKER_00]: So he's like, you know, remember, that's what you had heard from the beginning and now you're saying abide. 35:56.069 --> 35:58.049 [SPEAKER_00]: The word abide means to stand. 35:58.909 --> 35:59.770 [SPEAKER_00]: You're not moving. 36:00.370 --> 36:01.510 [SPEAKER_00]: You're not departing from it. 36:01.550 --> 36:02.530 [SPEAKER_00]: You're there, right there. 36:02.931 --> 36:05.271 [SPEAKER_00]: Standing, firm, abiding. 36:05.551 --> 36:07.192 [SPEAKER_00]: Another way will be remain. 36:08.218 --> 36:09.319 [SPEAKER_00]: So don't go anywhere. 36:10.119 --> 36:23.166 [SPEAKER_00]: So he is saying here, is this, this part we have with the Father and the Son, the fellowship that we're having all that we have with him, stay right there, don't depart in your mind from him. 36:24.407 --> 36:25.608 [SPEAKER_00]: What he is done for you. 36:27.003 --> 36:36.865 [SPEAKER_00]: So it goes on, if that what you have heard from the beginning shall remain, same word, abide in you, you shall also continue in the sun and in the father. 36:37.405 --> 36:39.165 [SPEAKER_00]: In other words, it's a relationship. 36:40.186 --> 36:48.547 [SPEAKER_00]: Come out from among them and be a separate, say, if the Lord and touch not the unclean thing, and I will be a father unto you, and you shall be sons and daughters, say if the Lord Almighty. 36:49.628 --> 36:49.908 [SPEAKER_00]: Okay? 36:50.388 --> 36:51.388 [SPEAKER_00]: Really powerful verses. 36:52.434 --> 36:57.636 [SPEAKER_00]: So God said, I can act as a father when you leave that and come to me. 36:58.957 --> 37:00.438 [SPEAKER_00]: And then we have a relationship. 37:00.878 --> 37:07.441 [SPEAKER_00]: The religions say, well, don't touch the unclean thing, that means don't have a gun, don't have anything evil and all that. 37:07.461 --> 37:09.202 [SPEAKER_00]: I have nothing not with the Bible means. 37:09.882 --> 37:16.025 [SPEAKER_00]: He's saying about leaving from the world that we live in, and come out from that. 37:16.325 --> 37:18.326 [SPEAKER_00]: And there is a separation, Ecclesia. 37:18.666 --> 37:25.308 [SPEAKER_00]: The cold out ones, the church, and that's what we are, the cold out ones, and we are separated unto Him. 37:25.348 --> 37:37.631 [SPEAKER_00]: It's Paul said, I'm separated unto the gospel, and so that's what God wants to do is be close to Him and abiding Him with Him, and then that fellowship, that time together is there. 37:38.191 --> 37:45.312 [SPEAKER_00]: So He says, if you do come out, then I can translate it this way, and then I can treat 37:48.726 --> 37:49.827 [SPEAKER_00]: That's what he's getting at. 37:50.707 --> 37:57.251 [SPEAKER_00]: But if we're over here acting like the world, we're not with the Father, we're not having fellowship with Him. 37:57.652 --> 37:59.333 [SPEAKER_00]: We're not having anything with the Lord. 37:59.553 --> 38:01.154 [SPEAKER_00]: So we're separating ourselves from Him. 38:01.394 --> 38:02.395 [SPEAKER_00]: So abide with Him. 38:03.035 --> 38:07.598 [SPEAKER_00]: Just stay right there with Him and then with the Son and everything's going to go well. 38:08.879 --> 38:17.625 [SPEAKER_00]: And then verse 25, those who have gone through D one, you'll remember, this is one of your memory verses, 38:18.621 --> 38:18.961 [SPEAKER_00]: Right? 38:19.621 --> 38:23.383 [SPEAKER_00]: And it was on the principle of salvation and eternal life. 38:23.783 --> 38:32.526 [SPEAKER_00]: So verse 25, this is the promise that He has promised us even eternal life. 38:33.466 --> 38:38.808 [SPEAKER_00]: So this is the promise, He who's the He, not the preacher. 38:39.608 --> 38:41.569 [SPEAKER_00]: It's God Himself is making this promise. 38:42.429 --> 38:48.071 [SPEAKER_00]: And His promises are sure they're steadfast and God is not going to change His mind. 38:49.553 --> 38:52.215 [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, all right, did you ever have in your mind? 38:52.575 --> 38:56.438 [SPEAKER_00]: You believe in Jesus, you loved him, you know, you know, you believe he died and everything? 38:56.758 --> 39:03.122 [SPEAKER_00]: And then did you ever have this thought when you get to heaven and you stand before him that God's gonna say, you know what? 39:03.622 --> 39:04.563 [SPEAKER_00]: I change my mind. 39:07.685 --> 39:15.290 [SPEAKER_00]: Jesus isn't the way, y'all are going to hell, have a nice day, we're gonna, we're done here. 39:17.340 --> 39:21.884 [SPEAKER_00]: Did that never come into your mind that God's gonna not give you eternal life in heaven? 39:22.124 --> 39:22.724 [SPEAKER_00]: You know why? 39:23.165 --> 39:24.386 [SPEAKER_00]: Because he doesn't lie. 39:25.347 --> 39:26.528 [SPEAKER_00]: Saints the liar. 39:27.248 --> 39:37.517 [SPEAKER_00]: He's one saying, I'm gonna promise you the world you're gonna be rich, you're gonna be powerful, you're gonna know all these things, you're gonna read minds, you're gonna have all of this ability, you're gonna be above everybody else. 39:37.977 --> 39:41.120 [SPEAKER_00]: And he's lying, people just go right into it head. 39:41.660 --> 39:44.861 [SPEAKER_00]: You know, head first, heading, as he says in the last days. 39:45.521 --> 39:48.122 [SPEAKER_00]: And so, yeah, God is not a liar. 39:48.542 --> 39:51.443 [SPEAKER_00]: There's no, if anything, it's in him is truth. 39:52.404 --> 39:53.904 [SPEAKER_00]: There is no lie in God. 39:54.665 --> 39:57.406 [SPEAKER_00]: So that's why we know, God is gonna do what he says. 39:58.226 --> 40:00.807 [SPEAKER_00]: And so this is the promise that he promised you. 40:01.667 --> 40:03.928 [SPEAKER_00]: Very simple, what kind of life? 40:05.588 --> 40:09.330 [SPEAKER_00]: So now the question comes into how we get the eternal life 40:10.654 --> 40:12.395 [SPEAKER_00]: And when do we get the eternal life? 40:12.935 --> 40:13.975 [SPEAKER_00]: So how do we get it? 40:14.375 --> 40:15.435 [SPEAKER_00]: And when we get it? 40:16.156 --> 40:20.357 [SPEAKER_00]: So how do we get that eternal life that God promised? 40:22.418 --> 40:22.758 [SPEAKER_00]: Faith? 40:26.179 --> 40:26.759 [SPEAKER_00]: Salvation? 40:28.599 --> 40:28.840 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. 40:30.180 --> 40:33.881 [SPEAKER_00]: So with the heart man believes on the righteousness, you know, the room is not in concept. 40:34.141 --> 40:37.322 [SPEAKER_00]: So we believe that Jesus came, died, rose again. 40:38.042 --> 40:40.183 [SPEAKER_00]: And then we are delivered or saved, okay? 40:41.340 --> 40:42.080 [SPEAKER_00]: And we believe that. 40:42.700 --> 40:45.081 [SPEAKER_00]: Now connect salvation with eternal life. 40:45.101 --> 40:48.242 [SPEAKER_00]: What was that? 40:49.382 --> 40:50.562 [SPEAKER_00]: At the same time, as right? 40:50.922 --> 40:59.404 [SPEAKER_00]: So connect salvation and believe that Jesus died and buried again and rose again with eternal life given to you at that moment. 41:01.025 --> 41:01.705 [SPEAKER_00]: Woo. 41:02.565 --> 41:04.526 [SPEAKER_00]: Come on, this is not that hard. 41:05.226 --> 41:06.866 [SPEAKER_00]: John 360. 41:09.147 --> 41:09.807 [SPEAKER_00]: Right there it is. 41:11.314 --> 41:25.759 [SPEAKER_00]: First John 5, and he says, and this is a record of God has given us, he turned a life in this life, is in his son, then he goes on and says, He that has the Son has life, he that does not have the Son, does not have life. 41:26.139 --> 41:35.282 [SPEAKER_00]: But these things that I written unto you, the belief that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you can keep on believing on Jesus. 41:36.302 --> 41:37.643 [SPEAKER_00]: That's the concept there. 41:38.183 --> 41:43.546 [SPEAKER_00]: So all over scriptures, there's a connection between the time you believed with eternal life. 41:43.966 --> 41:48.209 [SPEAKER_00]: If you have the Son, then you've got the life. 41:48.569 --> 41:51.371 [SPEAKER_00]: You don't have Jesus, you have death. 41:52.351 --> 41:53.612 [SPEAKER_00]: And there's nothing in between. 41:54.012 --> 41:54.913 [SPEAKER_00]: No purgatory. 41:55.752 --> 41:57.013 [SPEAKER_00]: Nobody can pray you out of it. 41:57.693 --> 42:00.996 [SPEAKER_00]: You can't get there from here without Jesus, impossible. 42:01.336 --> 42:03.137 [SPEAKER_00]: You can't burn candles, do anything. 42:03.578 --> 42:07.440 [SPEAKER_00]: It's either, once you die, then there's judgment, immediate judgment. 42:07.560 --> 42:15.146 [SPEAKER_00]: It's a point out of me, and once it died, and then comes the immediate judgment, that judgment will either be heaven or hell. 42:15.506 --> 42:20.129 [SPEAKER_00]: That's the immediate judgment for everybody at the moment they pass away. 42:20.589 --> 42:22.891 [SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, so that's the eternal life. 42:25.833 --> 42:29.216 [SPEAKER_00]: So Philips says, show us the Father in John 14, right? 42:29.616 --> 42:33.499 [SPEAKER_00]: Show us the Father, just want to see the Father, and what was Jesus' answer? 42:33.519 --> 42:33.639 [SPEAKER_00]: What? 42:36.650 --> 42:39.111 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and I like how we put that. 42:39.451 --> 42:41.191 [SPEAKER_00]: Have I been with you this whole time? 42:41.211 --> 42:52.615 [SPEAKER_00]: I've been with you for three years, and you're asking this question seriously, and that's what he goes on instead of if you see me, you've already seen the father, right? 42:53.055 --> 42:58.656 [SPEAKER_00]: Now, what do these verses, a lot of these were familiar, but what do they do for you tonight? 42:59.036 --> 43:00.357 [SPEAKER_00]: Are you glad you came to church? 43:01.558 --> 43:02.178 [SPEAKER_00]: You following me? 43:02.679 --> 43:04.239 [SPEAKER_00]: So what does this do for you? 43:05.140 --> 43:08.722 [SPEAKER_00]: How is this lifting you, applying it to your life or whatever? 43:12.264 --> 43:12.884 [SPEAKER_00]: Reminders? 43:13.164 --> 43:14.605 [SPEAKER_00]: Yep. 43:15.485 --> 43:16.646 [SPEAKER_00]: A confirmation, right? 43:17.306 --> 43:19.588 [SPEAKER_00]: So God's not a liar, Satan's a liar, right? 43:19.848 --> 43:23.090 [SPEAKER_00]: So all of his promises are true, right? 43:24.730 --> 43:26.531 [SPEAKER_00]: Reinforcement, we need that, don't we? 43:27.072 --> 43:29.013 [SPEAKER_00]: By the way, that's why first John is here. 43:30.188 --> 43:43.496 [SPEAKER_00]: because he needed to do that for the believers then, the young believers, and older ones too, but they all needed to have these confirmations in their heart so that we're not doubting, right? 43:46.077 --> 43:46.237 [SPEAKER_00]: Yep. 43:47.518 --> 43:48.138 [SPEAKER_00]: Are you the one? 43:48.999 --> 43:50.299 [SPEAKER_00]: Do we look at it for another, yeah? 43:52.921 --> 43:56.083 [SPEAKER_00]: So I loved Jesus' answer to his men, which was what? 43:56.803 --> 43:57.984 [SPEAKER_00]: You remember what he said to them? 43:59.605 --> 44:00.726 [SPEAKER_00]: Tell them what you've been seeing. 44:01.326 --> 44:05.249 [SPEAKER_00]: The blind, you're seeing the death, or hearing, you know, just show them. 44:05.610 --> 44:12.956 [SPEAKER_00]: And that's why Jesus did the miracles was to prove he was the prophesied one, the miracle. 44:13.316 --> 44:15.157 [SPEAKER_00]: So that's why Isaiah, he goes right in there. 44:15.197 --> 44:18.320 [SPEAKER_00]: He's like, you know, he's gonna be healed the broken heart and do all these things. 44:18.640 --> 44:23.444 [SPEAKER_00]: And Jesus, you know, read the scripture I advise, say it in the synagogue, thank you. 44:24.364 --> 44:27.307 [SPEAKER_00]: And he says, this day is this scripture's fulfilled. 44:29.061 --> 44:31.264 [SPEAKER_00]: Like, you fulfilled it? 44:31.285 --> 44:32.667 [SPEAKER_00]: Yep. 44:33.167 --> 44:34.449 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm the anointed one. 44:35.671 --> 44:36.873 [SPEAKER_00]: Where's the way to wrap it up? 44:37.173 --> 44:37.935 [SPEAKER_00]: Thank you for that one. 44:38.676 --> 44:39.157 [SPEAKER_00]: All righty.
