Abraham 00:16:45.310 --> 00:16:47.400 And he said, Behold, here I saw an Isaac 00:16:47.400 --> 00:16:49.390 Whom thou lovest 00:16:49.390 --> 00:16:51.480 And geth on one of the mountains which I 00:16:51.480 --> 00:16:53.510 Abraham rose up early in the morning 00:16:53.510 --> 00:16:54.660 And took two of his men 00:16:54.660 --> 00:16:56.600 And claved the one to the place 00:16:56.600 --> 00:16:58.560 Of which God had told him 00:16:58.560 --> 00:16:59.780 Then I saw far off 00:16:59.780 --> 00:17:02.050 And Abraham said unto his young men 00:17:02.050 --> 00:17:04.100 Of yonder in worship 00:17:04.100 --> 00:17:06.130 And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering 00:17:06.130 --> 00:17:07.120 And laid it upon 00:17:07.120 --> 00:17:10.090 And they went both back unto Abraham his father 00:17:10.090 --> 00:17:12.060 And said, My father, son 00:17:12.060 --> 00:17:14.050 And he said, Behold, the fathering 00:17:14.050 --> 00:17:17.320 And Abraham said, My son, herring 00:17:17.320 --> 00:17:19.230 So they went both of them together 00:17:19.230 --> 00:17:22.690 And Abraham put the wood in order 00:17:22.690 --> 00:17:24.670 And bound Abraham's chest forth his hand 00:17:24.670 --> 00:17:26.640 And took the knife to slay him out of heaven 00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:28.620 And said, Abraham 00:17:28.620 --> 00:17:30.710 And he said, Lay now anything unto him 00:17:30.710 --> 00:17:35.190 For seeing an only son from me 00:17:35.190 --> 00:17:36.180 Behind him a ram 00:17:36.180 --> 00:17:39.130 And Abraham went and took the ram of his son 00:17:39.130 --> 00:17:42.200 And Abraham called and said to this day 00:17:42.200 --> 00:17:45.150 And then Abraham out of heaven the second time 00:17:45.150 --> 00:17:47.230 And said, He's done this thing 00:17:47.230 --> 00:17:50.200 And then in blessing I will bless thee 00:17:50.200 --> 00:17:51.190 The stars of the heaven 00:17:51.190 --> 00:17:54.170 And as he zest the gate of his enemy 00:17:54.170 --> 00:17:57.210 Blessed because thou hast obeyed my 00:17:57.210 --> 00:17:59.180 And they rose up and went to Abraham 00:17:59.180 --> 00:18:01.150 Dwelt at Beersheba 00:18:01.150 --> 00:18:03.120 And the king Milca the he 00:18:03.120 --> 00:18:05.240 She has his swell 00:18:05.240 --> 00:18:08.170 The father of Aran and Pildash and 00:18:08.170 --> 00:18:11.830 Jidlath and Rebekah 00:18:11.830 --> 00:18:13.760 The heir to Nahor Abraham's was 00:18:13.760 --> 00:18:16.660 Ruma, Thash, and Mahakha 00:18:16.660 --> 00:18:17.800 But 00:18:17.800 --> 00:18:23.400 Amen 00:18:23.400 --> 00:18:26.790 Now we will partake the Lord's atonement of Christ 00:18:26.790 --> 00:18:28.750 The substitutionary to read to you the A.I. 00:18:28.750 --> 00:18:30.700 Overview according to Google, okay? 00:18:30.700 --> 00:18:31.850 Thanks, Brother Brett 00:18:31.850 --> 00:18:34.840 All substitutionary atonement in the PSA 00:18:34.840 --> 00:18:37.820 As a substitute in the place of sinners 00:18:37.820 --> 00:18:39.810 Taking upon himself to fight God's justice 00:18:39.810 --> 00:18:42.800 And reconcile humanity to forgiveness of sins 00:18:42.800 --> 00:18:44.790 And the transfer of righteousness to 00:18:44.790 --> 00:18:47.770 We will mainly look at Genesis 22 this morning 00:18:47.770 --> 00:18:50.760 A chapter, we will leave it and come back to it 00:18:50.760 --> 00:18:53.830 We'll be looking to help you appreciate 00:18:53.830 --> 00:18:55.790 One thing I do want to bring up is that 00:18:55.790 --> 00:19:01.160 He gave all the prophets witness that through His name 00:19:01.160 --> 00:19:04.290 Every single prophet prophesied about the Lord 00:19:04.290 --> 00:19:07.350 So point number one this morning is 00:19:07.350 --> 00:19:13.290 You are in Genesis 22 and it came to pass after these things 00:19:13.290 --> 00:19:17.240 And said unto him, Abraham take now thy son 00:19:17.240 --> 00:19:22.490 Thine only son Isaac was Abraham's only son of Isaac 00:19:22.490 --> 00:19:26.400 Now keep a place in Genesis go to John chapter 3 00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:30.550 Describe as Abraham's Jesus 00:19:30.550 --> 00:19:34.640 Jesus is God's only begotten son 00:19:34.640 --> 00:19:36.610 John chapter 3 look at John 3.16 says 00:19:36.610 --> 00:19:39.700 For God so loved the world that he gave his 00:19:39.700 --> 00:19:42.910 Don't miss this only begotten son 00:19:42.910 --> 00:19:43.910 That whosoever believeth in him 00:19:43.910 --> 00:19:47.890 I will not delve deeper into this phrase begotten son 00:19:47.890 --> 00:19:52.880 But we become sons of God through this is the only begotten son 00:19:52.880 --> 00:19:56.860 He is unique, he has his eternal sonship 00:19:56.860 --> 00:19:58.850 He is God's only begotten son 00:19:58.850 --> 00:20:01.840 Obviously when he became flesh he was conceived of the Holy Ghost 00:20:01.840 --> 00:20:04.830 Invasion but that's part of the adoption process 00:20:04.830 --> 00:20:06.820 But not the only begotten son 00:20:06.820 --> 00:20:09.930 Now go to verse 35 00:20:09.930 --> 00:20:14.160 So just like Abraham loved Isaac 00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:17.270 So does God the father love God the son 00:20:17.270 --> 00:20:21.350 John 3.35 says all things into his hand 00:20:21.350 --> 00:20:24.090 Go to John chapter 5 00:20:24.090 --> 00:20:26.740 John chapter 5 verse number 20 00:20:26.740 --> 00:20:27.720 The Bible says this 00:20:27.720 --> 00:20:30.670 Son and showeth him all things that himself do 00:20:30.670 --> 00:20:32.770 And these that he may marvel 00:20:32.770 --> 00:20:35.970 Now go to 15 00:20:35.970 --> 00:20:36.920 Look at verse number 9 00:20:36.920 --> 00:20:38.140 John 9 00:20:38.140 --> 00:20:40.150 As the father hath loved me here 00:20:40.150 --> 00:20:42.320 Continue ye in my love 00:20:42.320 --> 00:20:45.880 The reason the mother loved him 00:20:45.880 --> 00:20:46.850 Now John 15 verse 00:20:46.850 --> 00:20:49.020 That ye love one another 00:20:49.020 --> 00:20:51.020 And see the progression here 00:20:51.020 --> 00:20:52.950 God the father love God the son 00:20:52.950 --> 00:20:54.960 Christ love us 00:20:54.960 --> 00:20:56.090 We should love 00:20:56.090 --> 00:20:58.060 So that's why we should just love 00:20:58.060 --> 00:21:00.020 We should just let go of the smaller issues 00:21:00.020 --> 00:21:01.990 And kill disagreements 00:21:01.990 --> 00:21:04.330 Now this post says that 00:21:04.330 --> 00:21:07.400 Being and means I can agree with others 00:21:07.400 --> 00:21:08.380 On the major doctrines 00:21:08.380 --> 00:21:09.360 You'll be friends with them 00:21:09.360 --> 00:21:12.140 Some people want you to be their clone 00:21:12.140 --> 00:21:14.110 And agree with every little thing 00:21:14.110 --> 00:21:16.090 You have to agree to disagree 00:21:16.090 --> 00:21:19.060 And that should not mean that you have serious issues 00:21:19.060 --> 00:21:20.160 Right 00:21:20.160 --> 00:21:23.160 The Bible says because 17 00:21:23.160 --> 00:21:26.440 Look at verse 24, John 17 00:21:26.440 --> 00:21:29.480 John 17.4 says that be with me where I am 00:21:29.480 --> 00:21:32.430 That they may be missed this for thou 00:21:32.430 --> 00:21:33.550 God the foundation of the world 00:21:33.550 --> 00:21:36.770 That means Christ is from everlasting love 00:21:36.770 --> 00:21:38.520 Right 00:21:38.520 --> 00:21:44.830 And you know says this is my back to Genesis 17 00:21:44.830 --> 00:21:50.000 But there's one key detail to ask Abraham 00:21:50.000 --> 00:21:52.930 But the problem is that Abraham at that time 00:21:52.930 --> 00:21:55.090 Genesis 17 look at verse 24 00:21:55.090 --> 00:21:58.070 Genesis 17 verse 17 was 90 years old and nine 00:21:58.070 --> 00:22:00.050 Circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin 00:22:00.050 --> 00:22:03.030 And Ishmael flesh of his foreskin 00:22:03.030 --> 00:22:08.000 So back in Genesis 17 Ishmael is Abraham's son 00:22:08.000 --> 00:22:12.040 So Genesis 25 is after Genesis 22 00:22:12.040 --> 00:22:13.020 About Abraham says 00:22:13.020 --> 00:22:16.220 Then Abraham gave up the ghost and died in equal of years 00:22:16.220 --> 00:22:19.170 And was gathered to his people and plural 00:22:19.170 --> 00:22:23.400 Isaac and Ishmael filled of it from the son of 00:22:23.400 --> 00:22:24.930 Zoho sons 00:22:24.930 --> 00:22:27.910 Isaac as well as Ishmael 00:22:27.910 --> 00:22:29.860 Abraham only has a contradiction here 00:22:29.860 --> 00:22:31.280 Of course not 00:22:31.280 --> 00:22:33.210 Diction is because you don't understand it fully 00:22:33.210 --> 00:22:35.540 Remember it's the same 00:22:35.540 --> 00:22:36.510 Obviously there has to be a reason to that 00:22:36.510 --> 00:22:37.480 Now go to Genesis 00:22:37.480 --> 00:22:40.460 The Bible says 00:22:40.460 --> 00:22:41.420 Now Sarah 00:22:41.420 --> 00:22:42.390 That's Sarah 00:22:42.390 --> 00:22:45.710 And Egyptian whose name restrained me from bearing 00:22:45.710 --> 00:22:48.680 Maybe that I may obtain children by her 00:22:48.680 --> 00:22:52.810 And Abraham's wife was not bearing any children 00:22:52.810 --> 00:22:53.800 Bear children 00:22:53.800 --> 00:22:56.750 Bear Abraham a son and Abraham Ishmael 00:22:56.750 --> 00:22:57.740 Okay so 00:22:57.740 --> 00:23:00.850 The wife shall bear thee his name Isaac 00:23:00.850 --> 00:23:04.500 And I will establish my covenant with thee after him 00:23:04.500 --> 00:23:06.490 So Isaac was born by Hagar 00:23:06.490 --> 00:23:08.470 They are both Abraham's sons 00:23:08.470 --> 00:23:09.470 Now 00:23:09.470 --> 00:23:11.450 Interpretation of the story 00:23:11.450 --> 00:23:12.450 Because there has to be a reason 00:23:12.450 --> 00:23:14.430 Glazing chapter 4 22 00:23:14.430 --> 00:23:15.430 Written 00:23:15.430 --> 00:23:16.420 So 00:23:16.420 --> 00:23:18.410 The one by a bondmaid 00:23:18.410 --> 00:23:20.220 That's Hagar 00:23:20.220 --> 00:23:22.470 The other by a free woman 00:23:22.470 --> 00:23:25.260 That's Sarah 00:23:25.260 --> 00:23:28.610 But he was born by Hagar 00:23:28.610 --> 00:23:29.600 The other by a free woman 00:23:29.600 --> 00:23:30.580 That's Sarah 00:23:30.580 --> 00:23:31.560 But he was born by Hagar 00:23:31.560 --> 00:23:32.540 The other by a free woman 00:23:32.540 --> 00:23:33.650 That's Sarah 00:23:33.650 --> 00:23:35.260 But he who was 00:23:35.260 --> 00:23:37.190 But he of the free woman 00:23:37.190 --> 00:23:38.420 Was by 00:23:38.420 --> 00:23:39.440 Promise 00:23:39.440 --> 00:23:40.470 So 00:23:40.470 --> 00:23:41.420 Promise 00:23:41.420 --> 00:23:42.420 So here's the 00:23:42.420 --> 00:23:43.810 Distinction 00:23:43.810 --> 00:23:44.780 Isaac 00:23:44.780 --> 00:23:45.750 Was the 00:23:45.750 --> 00:23:46.820 He was the only son 00:23:46.820 --> 00:23:47.770 Of the flesh 00:23:47.770 --> 00:23:48.730 OK 00:23:48.730 --> 00:23:49.800 So what is 00:23:49.800 --> 00:23:50.760 The physical unbelieving Jews 00:23:50.760 --> 00:23:51.730 Are not God's chosen people 00:23:51.730 --> 00:23:52.990 You have to be 00:23:52.990 --> 00:23:53.950 Grafting Jesus Christ 00:23:53.950 --> 00:23:54.920 Right 00:23:54.920 --> 00:23:56.320 You know 00:23:56.320 --> 00:23:57.290 Lot of bad pictures 00:23:57.290 --> 00:23:59.230 Of the unbelieving Jews 00:23:59.230 --> 00:24:00.520 Right 00:24:00.520 --> 00:24:01.500 You know 00:24:01.500 --> 00:24:02.470 Don't just fight against 00:24:02.470 --> 00:24:03.450 You should be safe too 00:24:03.450 --> 00:24:04.580 Right 00:24:04.580 --> 00:24:05.550 This is point two 00:24:05.550 --> 00:24:06.520 The Bible says this 00:24:06.520 --> 00:24:34.850 Now go to 2 Chronicles 3 00:24:34.850 --> 00:24:37.980 Now was also sacrificed 00:24:37.980 --> 00:24:40.060 On Mount Moriah 00:24:40.060 --> 00:24:41.040 And 2 Chronicles 3 00:24:41.040 --> 00:24:42.030 Look at verse number one 00:24:42.030 --> 00:24:43.010 2 Chronicles 3 00:24:43.010 --> 00:24:43.990 verse number one 00:24:43.990 --> 00:24:46.670 Then Solomon began to build 00:24:46.670 --> 00:24:47.690 The house of the Lord 00:24:47.690 --> 00:24:48.650 Don't miss this 00:24:48.650 --> 00:24:50.750 Where the Lord appeared unto David 00:24:50.750 --> 00:24:52.840 His father in the place that David 00:24:52.840 --> 00:24:54.790 The Jebusite 00:24:54.790 --> 00:24:55.870 Okay 00:24:55.870 --> 00:24:56.850 So to me that's so amazing 00:24:56.850 --> 00:24:58.830 Because thousands of years 00:24:58.830 --> 00:24:59.820 Of the site 00:24:59.820 --> 00:25:00.800 The very place 00:25:00.800 --> 00:25:02.780 Where the lamb would die 00:25:02.780 --> 00:25:03.770 How can you not believe the Bible 00:25:03.770 --> 00:25:05.390 Right 00:25:05.390 --> 00:25:08.430 Describe to come to a place called 00:25:08.430 --> 00:25:09.410 Gogoltha 00:25:09.410 --> 00:25:11.380 That is to say the place of a skull 00:25:11.380 --> 00:25:12.360 You know and Jesus Christ 00:25:12.360 --> 00:25:14.470 Was crucified without a gate 00:25:14.470 --> 00:25:15.450 Now the body 00:25:15.450 --> 00:25:18.400 He was crucified on Mount Moriah 00:25:18.400 --> 00:25:19.390 But I can't believe that 00:25:19.390 --> 00:25:22.470 Gogoltha was in the same region 00:25:22.470 --> 00:25:23.470 As Mount Moriah 00:25:23.470 --> 00:25:24.460 Because there are so many parallels 00:25:24.460 --> 00:25:27.450 In that you know the exact place 00:25:27.450 --> 00:25:28.440 Is also prophesied 00:25:28.440 --> 00:25:31.430 Especially Mount Moriah 00:25:31.430 --> 00:25:32.420 Is at Jerusalem 00:25:32.420 --> 00:25:33.420 Right 00:25:33.420 --> 00:25:35.400 So that's what I believe 00:25:35.400 --> 00:25:36.400 You know I do believe 00:25:36.400 --> 00:25:37.390 Mount Moriah was in the same 00:25:37.390 --> 00:25:38.390 Gogoltha 00:25:38.390 --> 00:25:41.680 So go back to Genesis 22 00:25:41.680 --> 00:25:43.920 Genesis chapter 22 00:25:43.920 --> 00:25:46.250 So point number one 00:25:46.250 --> 00:25:47.210 Jesus in Jerusalem 00:25:47.210 --> 00:25:48.320 Point number three 00:25:48.320 --> 00:25:52.840 Jesus was a burnt sacrifice 00:25:52.840 --> 00:25:55.420 Jesus was a burnt sacrifice 00:25:55.420 --> 00:25:56.460 Look at verse number two again 00:25:56.460 --> 00:25:58.430 Take now thy son, thy only son Isaac 00:25:58.430 --> 00:25:59.420 Whom thou lovest 00:25:59.420 --> 00:26:01.390 And get thee into the land of Moriah 00:26:01.390 --> 00:26:02.370 And offer him therefore a buff 00:26:02.370 --> 00:26:04.570 Jump onto verse number seven 00:26:04.570 --> 00:26:06.060 The Bible says 00:26:06.060 --> 00:26:08.060 And Isaac spake my son 00:26:08.060 --> 00:26:10.020 And he said, Behold the fire and the wood 00:26:10.020 --> 00:26:14.350 But where is the land for a burned offering? 00:26:14.350 --> 00:26:15.300 Here's all I'm trying to say 00:26:15.300 --> 00:26:16.260 Jesus and you 00:26:16.260 --> 00:26:19.290 To me like this should make you 00:26:19.290 --> 00:26:22.240 Be more appreciative of Christ's sacrifice 00:26:22.240 --> 00:26:24.220 He went to hell for you 00:26:24.220 --> 00:26:27.620 Now go to the Bible says in Acts 2.31 00:26:27.620 --> 00:26:31.540 He's seen this before speak of the resurrection of sea corruption 00:26:31.540 --> 00:26:33.250 Some people may say that 00:26:33.250 --> 00:26:37.200 Sometimes the word soul can mean who you are as a whole 00:26:37.200 --> 00:26:41.160 But this verse clearly distinguishes the body and the soul 00:26:41.160 --> 00:26:44.360 His soul was not left in hell,neither his flesh 00:26:44.360 --> 00:26:48.350 Do you believe in the church fathers but not the Bible? 00:26:48.350 --> 00:26:50.570 Do you believe in magma authority? 00:26:50.570 --> 00:26:51.640 The word of God 00:26:51.640 --> 00:26:55.560 His soul was not left in hell and his physical body 00:26:55.560 --> 00:26:59.280 Matthew 12, look at verse 38 00:26:59.280 --> 00:27:00.270 Matthew 12 verse 00:27:00.270 --> 00:27:02.260 Gripes and of the Pharisees answered saying 00:27:02.260 --> 00:27:04.250 Master answered and said unto them 00:27:04.250 --> 00:27:08.230 And evil and adult no sign be given to it 00:27:08.230 --> 00:27:10.210 But the sign of the prophet Jonas 00:27:10.210 --> 00:27:11.210 So Jesus Christ was saying 00:27:11.210 --> 00:27:13.200 You only need to be important right 00:27:13.200 --> 00:27:14.250 Look at verse number 40 00:27:14.250 --> 00:27:15.240 Four nights in the whale's belly 00:27:15.240 --> 00:27:17.210 So shall the son of man 00:27:17.210 --> 00:27:18.190 Be three days and three nights 00:27:18.190 --> 00:27:21.540 In the heart of the earth 00:27:21.540 --> 00:27:22.460 Not Valhalla 00:27:22.460 --> 00:27:25.120 Not Abraham's bosom 00:27:25.120 --> 00:27:26.710 What happened to the people 00:27:26.710 --> 00:27:28.700 That didn't make any sense right 00:27:28.700 --> 00:27:32.680 So like Adam's bosom you know 00:27:32.680 --> 00:27:34.670 So there's only one sign that you need 00:27:34.670 --> 00:27:36.660 And that was in the whale's belly 00:27:36.660 --> 00:27:39.650 And Jesus was in the heart of the earth 00:27:39.650 --> 00:27:40.640 The core of the earth 00:27:40.640 --> 00:27:41.640 For three days 00:27:41.640 --> 00:27:42.640 The story of Jonah 00:27:42.640 --> 00:27:44.630 Jonah said out of the belly of hell 00:27:44.630 --> 00:27:45.620 Cried out 00:27:45.620 --> 00:27:47.790 No he was prophesying Jesus 00:27:47.790 --> 00:27:49.750 Isaiah 53 is another famous chapter 00:27:49.750 --> 00:27:51.710 About the prophecy of 00:27:51.710 --> 00:27:55.660 Isaiah 53 look at verse number 10 00:27:55.660 --> 00:27:57.620 Isaiah will show you way more verses 00:27:57.620 --> 00:27:59.590 But let me just show you some of the highlights 00:27:59.590 --> 00:28:01.690 If you've gone through the 00:28:01.690 --> 00:28:05.090 Isaiah 53 look at verse number 10 00:28:05.090 --> 00:28:08.100 Not virtually, every single offering is a burnt offering 00:28:08.100 --> 00:28:10.090 The Bible says 00:28:10.090 --> 00:28:12.080 Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him 00:28:12.080 --> 00:28:16.050 He shall make his soul an offering for sin days 00:28:16.050 --> 00:28:19.030 And the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hands 00:28:19.030 --> 00:28:22.020 His soul was being afflicted 00:28:22.020 --> 00:28:26.210 The anguish, the travail of his soul is travailing 00:28:26.210 --> 00:28:29.450 Why was he crying? 00:28:29.450 --> 00:28:31.490 Out of the belly of hell cried I 00:28:31.490 --> 00:28:33.440 To me this doctrine is death in hell 00:28:33.440 --> 00:28:36.010 So if Jesus Christ only died physically 00:28:36.010 --> 00:28:38.950 Then why do saved Christians still die physically? 00:28:38.950 --> 00:28:40.770 Think about this 00:28:40.770 --> 00:28:43.720 Really convinces people that they deserve to go to hell 00:28:43.720 --> 00:28:45.670 Because of their sins 00:28:45.670 --> 00:28:51.190 To me that's a great way to go back to Genesis 22 00:28:51.190 --> 00:28:54.170 I also believe that Jesus Christ went to the lowest hell 00:28:54.170 --> 00:28:56.130 To pay for the sins of the whole world 00:28:56.130 --> 00:28:58.560 Praise the Lord, Amen 00:28:58.560 --> 00:29:00.500 He said I am he that liveth and was dead 00:29:00.500 --> 00:29:02.600 And behold I am alive forevermore 00:29:02.600 --> 00:29:03.570 Amen 00:29:03.570 --> 00:29:06.810 Why did Christ have the keys of hell and of death? 00:29:06.810 --> 00:29:08.790 Because he was in hell and he conquered hell 00:29:08.790 --> 00:29:10.770 Jesus is God's only begotten son 00:29:10.770 --> 00:29:11.760 Point number two 00:29:11.760 --> 00:29:14.740 Jesus was sacrificed in Jerusalem 00:29:14.740 --> 00:29:15.800 Point number three 00:29:15.800 --> 00:29:17.750 Jesus was a burnt sacrifice 00:29:17.750 --> 00:29:18.730 Point number four 00:29:18.730 --> 00:29:20.000 The resurrection 00:29:20.000 --> 00:29:21.180 Look at verse number three 00:29:21.180 --> 00:29:24.290 Genesis 22, verse number three 00:29:24.290 --> 00:29:27.320 And Abraham rose up early in the morning 00:29:27.320 --> 00:29:29.300 And sat on his ass 00:29:29.300 --> 00:29:31.280 And took two of his young men with him 00:29:31.280 --> 00:29:32.270 And Isaac his son 00:29:32.270 --> 00:29:35.500 And clave the wood for the burnt offering 00:29:35.500 --> 00:29:36.500 And rose up and went unto the place 00:29:36.500 --> 00:29:38.490 Of which God had told him 00:29:38.490 --> 00:29:39.490 verse number four 00:29:39.490 --> 00:29:40.490 Then on the third day 00:29:40.490 --> 00:29:42.480 Abraham lifted up his eyes 00:29:42.480 --> 00:29:44.480 And saw the place afar off 00:29:44.480 --> 00:29:45.470 Now some people think that 00:29:45.470 --> 00:29:46.470 This three day journey 00:29:46.470 --> 00:29:48.460 That Abraham and Isaac took 00:29:48.460 --> 00:29:50.460 Is a foreshadowing of Christ 00:29:50.460 --> 00:29:52.450 Being dead and raised 00:29:52.450 --> 00:29:53.450 Maybe 00:29:53.450 --> 00:29:55.440 But to me verse number five 00:29:55.440 --> 00:29:57.440 Is the real amazing verse 00:29:57.440 --> 00:29:58.430 verse number five 00:29:58.430 --> 00:30:00.430 And Abraham said unto his young men 00:30:00.430 --> 00:30:03.420 Abide ye, hey stay here with the ass 00:30:03.420 --> 00:30:05.410 And I and the lad will go yonder 00:30:05.410 --> 00:30:07.410 And worship and come again to you 00:30:07.410 --> 00:30:10.390 To me verse five is amazing 00:30:10.390 --> 00:30:13.280 Let me read the second half again 00:30:13.280 --> 00:30:17.430 And I and the lad will go yonder 00:30:17.430 --> 00:30:20.880 And worship and come again to you 00:30:20.880 --> 00:30:23.150 Did you see it? 00:30:23.150 --> 00:30:26.450 And I and the lad will go yonder 00:30:26.450 --> 00:30:29.600 And worship and come again to you 00:30:29.600 --> 00:30:33.540 Abraham believed that both he and Isaac 00:30:33.540 --> 00:30:36.470 Would come again back to the young men 00:30:36.470 --> 00:30:39.040 Who are the subjects? 00:30:39.040 --> 00:30:40.970 I and the lad 00:30:40.970 --> 00:30:43.260 Abraham believed in the resurrection 00:30:43.260 --> 00:30:44.230 Right here in verse number five 00:30:44.230 --> 00:30:46.950 He's saying after the journey 00:30:46.950 --> 00:30:49.890 Hey, both me and Isaac will come back to you 00:30:49.890 --> 00:30:51.490 That's amazing, right? 00:30:51.490 --> 00:30:54.060 Now go to Hebrews chapter 11 00:30:54.060 --> 00:30:55.640 Hebrews chapter 11 00:30:55.640 --> 00:30:58.120 Don't miss those small details 00:30:58.120 --> 00:30:59.100 When you're reading the Bible 00:30:59.100 --> 00:31:03.040 Obviously sometimes we just read past that 00:31:03.040 --> 00:31:06.180 But the Bible is an amazing book 00:31:06.180 --> 00:31:09.130 Hebrews 11, look at verse number 17 00:31:09.130 --> 00:31:14.340 Hebrews 11, verse 17 00:31:14.340 --> 00:31:16.580 It's a chapter of faith 00:31:16.580 --> 00:31:18.790 Hebrews 11, 17 says 00:31:18.790 --> 00:31:22.310 By faith Abraham when he was tried 00:31:22.310 --> 00:31:23.290 Offered up Isaac 00:31:23.290 --> 00:31:25.250 And he that had received the promises 00:31:25.250 --> 00:31:27.210 Offered up his only begotten son 00:31:27.210 --> 00:31:29.210 Of whom it was said that in Isaac 00:31:29.210 --> 00:31:31.450 Shall I say be called 00:31:31.450 --> 00:31:32.510 Verse 19 00:31:32.510 --> 00:31:36.420 Counting that God was able to raise him up 00:31:36.420 --> 00:31:39.520 Abraham believed that God was able to raise up Isaac 00:31:39.520 --> 00:31:40.520 Even from the bed 00:31:40.520 --> 00:31:43.490 From whence also he received him in a figure 00:31:43.490 --> 00:31:46.470 So the story is that Abraham did have faith in the resurrection 00:31:46.470 --> 00:31:49.450 But the figure of the resurrection of Christ 00:31:49.450 --> 00:31:52.540 So Abraham believed in the resurrection 00:31:52.540 --> 00:31:55.510 Before Jesus Christ physically came and died 00:31:55.510 --> 00:31:57.480 And actually resurrected 00:31:57.480 --> 00:32:00.360 That's why it's the same gospel 00:32:00.360 --> 00:32:01.330 It's the exact same gospel 00:32:01.330 --> 00:32:03.420 Romans 4.1 says 00:32:03.420 --> 00:32:06.410 What shall we say then that Abraham our father 00:32:06.410 --> 00:32:08.390 As pertaining to the flesh had found 00:32:08.390 --> 00:32:11.380 For if Abraham were justified by works 00:32:11.380 --> 00:32:13.370 He had worked to glory but not before God 00:32:13.370 --> 00:32:15.350 For what say the scripture 00:32:15.350 --> 00:32:16.350 Abraham believed God 00:32:16.350 --> 00:32:20.330 And it was counted unto him for righteousness 00:32:20.330 --> 00:32:22.780 So my question to you is 00:32:22.780 --> 00:32:24.750 Do you have the faith when God asked you 00:32:24.750 --> 00:32:27.700 To do what seems to be impossible 00:32:27.700 --> 00:32:31.010 Abraham went through that by faith 00:32:31.010 --> 00:32:34.020 See if God asks you to do something 00:32:34.020 --> 00:32:35.960 That may not make sense 00:32:35.960 --> 00:32:36.930 Would you still obey 00:32:36.930 --> 00:32:39.460 You know Abraham had great faith right 00:32:39.460 --> 00:32:41.500 If God comes to you right now 00:32:41.500 --> 00:32:44.430 And just asks you to give up your time and money 00:32:44.430 --> 00:32:45.460 Would you even do it 00:32:45.460 --> 00:32:48.600 If God puts a finger in 00:32:48.600 --> 00:32:51.540 You know on the one thing that you don't want to give up 00:32:51.540 --> 00:32:54.120 What would you do right 00:32:54.120 --> 00:32:56.200 Think about the faith of Abraham 00:32:56.200 --> 00:32:57.780 What about this 00:32:57.780 --> 00:33:01.280 If one of your adult children turn out to be rotten 00:33:01.280 --> 00:33:03.650 Would you cut them off right 00:33:03.650 --> 00:33:05.570 Do you actually love your children more than God 00:33:05.570 --> 00:33:10.190 Do you love your wife and friends more than God right 00:33:10.190 --> 00:33:14.100 See to me Abraham had the faith to even sacrifice his own son 00:33:14.100 --> 00:33:16.220 His only begotten son 00:33:16.220 --> 00:33:17.480 That is great faith 00:33:17.480 --> 00:33:20.550 Go back to Genesis 22 00:33:20.550 --> 00:33:23.590 Abraham believe God will raise up Isaac 00:33:23.590 --> 00:33:26.640 Do you believe that God can work beyond what you see 00:33:26.640 --> 00:33:31.100 Now we will talk about resurrection more next Sunday 00:33:31.100 --> 00:33:33.070 But we serve a risen savior 00:33:33.070 --> 00:33:35.040 He is the God of the impossible 00:33:35.040 --> 00:33:36.030 Amen 00:33:36.030 --> 00:33:38.270 So I said point number one 00:33:38.270 --> 00:33:40.470 Jesus is God's only begotten son 00:33:40.470 --> 00:33:41.430 Point number two 00:33:41.430 --> 00:33:44.730 Jesus was sacrificed in Jerusalem 00:33:44.730 --> 00:33:45.700 Point number three 00:33:45.700 --> 00:33:46.680 Jesus was a burnt sacrifice 00:33:46.680 --> 00:33:47.660 Point number four 00:33:47.660 --> 00:33:48.640 The resurrection 00:33:48.640 --> 00:33:50.370 Point number five 00:33:50.370 --> 00:33:52.450 Jesus carried the cross 00:33:52.450 --> 00:33:55.570 Jesus carried the cross 00:33:55.570 --> 00:33:56.550 Look at verse number six 00:33:56.550 --> 00:33:58.500 Genesis 22 verse number six 00:33:58.500 --> 00:34:00.240 The Bible says this 00:34:00.240 --> 00:34:02.590 And Abraham took the wood 00:34:02.590 --> 00:34:04.810 Of the burnt offering 00:34:04.810 --> 00:34:06.780 And laid it upon Isaac his son 00:34:06.780 --> 00:34:08.760 And he took the fire in his hand 00:34:08.760 --> 00:34:09.750 And the knife 00:34:09.750 --> 00:34:11.820 And they went both of them together 00:34:11.820 --> 00:34:14.830 Now who does Abraham picture in the story? 00:34:14.830 --> 00:34:15.900 God the father, right? 00:34:15.900 --> 00:34:17.020 What about Isaac? 00:34:17.020 --> 00:34:18.960 Jesus, God the son 00:34:18.960 --> 00:34:20.960 So notice the wording 00:34:20.960 --> 00:34:22.910 Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering 00:34:22.910 --> 00:34:27.090 So God the father allowed this to take place 00:34:27.090 --> 00:34:30.650 God the father allowed Christ to be crucified 00:34:30.650 --> 00:34:35.700 Because Abraham laid the wood upon Isaac 00:34:35.700 --> 00:34:37.650 Now go to Romans chapter 5 00:34:37.650 --> 00:34:38.620 Romans chapter 5 00:34:38.620 --> 00:34:41.200 I told you we'll be going through a lot of verses 00:34:41.200 --> 00:34:43.430 So hurry up 00:34:43.430 --> 00:34:47.220 If you don't want the director cut sermon 00:34:47.220 --> 00:34:48.200 Maybe you should flip faster 00:34:48.200 --> 00:34:50.170 I'm kidding 00:34:50.170 --> 00:34:53.850 I have plenty of time 00:34:53.850 --> 00:34:54.820 Because I'm the dictator 00:34:54.820 --> 00:34:57.760 There's no time limit for me right 00:34:57.760 --> 00:34:59.880 John 3.16 says 00:34:59.880 --> 00:35:01.820 For God so loved the world that he gave 00:35:01.820 --> 00:35:05.210 God the father gave his only begotten son 00:35:05.210 --> 00:35:08.160 Because he has allowed that to take place 00:35:08.160 --> 00:35:09.870 Romans 5.7 00:35:09.870 --> 00:35:13.080 Romans 5.7 says this 00:35:13.080 --> 00:35:14.180 For scarcely 00:35:14.180 --> 00:35:15.170 The word scarcely means hardly 00:35:15.170 --> 00:35:17.140 It's very difficult 00:35:17.140 --> 00:35:20.140 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die 00:35:20.140 --> 00:35:22.150 Yet per venture perhaps 00:35:22.150 --> 00:35:24.100 For a good man's son will even dare to die 00:35:24.100 --> 00:35:26.710 We like quoting verse number 8 00:35:26.710 --> 00:35:27.680 But let's look at verse number 7 00:35:27.680 --> 00:35:31.520 The Bible says it's very difficult 00:35:31.520 --> 00:35:33.520 For someone to die for a righteous man 00:35:33.520 --> 00:35:36.450 Maybe someone will die for a quote unquote good man 00:35:36.450 --> 00:35:39.030 But verse number 8 says this 00:35:39.030 --> 00:35:41.270 But God commandeth 00:35:41.270 --> 00:35:43.570 The word command does not mean presents or shows 00:35:43.570 --> 00:35:45.520 The word command means he elevates 00:35:45.520 --> 00:35:46.600 He praises 00:35:46.600 --> 00:35:49.520 But God commanded his love toward us 00:35:49.520 --> 00:35:50.810 How did he do that? 00:35:50.810 --> 00:35:53.740 In that while we will yet see this Christ die for us 00:35:53.740 --> 00:35:57.070 Verse number 7 says it's very difficult 00:35:57.070 --> 00:36:01.020 For someone to even die for a righteous and good man 00:36:01.020 --> 00:36:05.080 But Christ's love is so worthy to be praised 00:36:05.080 --> 00:36:07.990 That he did not die for the righteous 00:36:07.990 --> 00:36:11.900 He died for us sinners 00:36:11.900 --> 00:36:17.020 That's why his love is way greater than any human love 00:36:17.020 --> 00:36:17.950 That's amazing, right? 00:36:17.950 --> 00:36:20.120 Don't miss the context in verse number 7 00:36:20.120 --> 00:36:25.120 It's very hard for us to die for a good man, righteous person, honest person 00:36:25.120 --> 00:36:28.080 But Christ died for you who are going to hell 00:36:28.080 --> 00:36:31.680 Now we go to 1st John chapter 4 00:36:31.680 --> 00:36:33.240 1st John chapter number 4 00:36:33.240 --> 00:36:37.650 Look at verse number 10 00:36:37.650 --> 00:36:41.970 1st John chapter 4 verse 10 says this 00:36:41.970 --> 00:36:49.720 Hearing is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us 00:36:49.720 --> 00:36:51.150 How did God love us? 00:36:51.150 --> 00:36:52.380 And sent 00:36:52.380 --> 00:36:54.550 Notice God the Father sent 00:36:54.550 --> 00:36:56.360 He has allowed this 00:36:56.360 --> 00:36:59.650 And sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins 00:36:59.650 --> 00:37:03.080 Beloved, if God so loved us 00:37:03.080 --> 00:37:06.130 If God sent His Son to die for our sins 00:37:06.130 --> 00:37:07.720 Don't miss this 00:37:07.720 --> 00:37:09.750 We ought also to love one another 00:37:09.750 --> 00:37:12.810 It's the same progression, it's the same logic 00:37:12.810 --> 00:37:18.410 So not only did God sanction the crucifixion, sanction the sacrifice 00:37:18.410 --> 00:37:21.440 But I also want you to notice this 00:37:21.440 --> 00:37:25.660 Let's go to John chapter 19 00:37:25.660 --> 00:37:32.070 Back in Genesis, the Bible says Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering 00:37:32.070 --> 00:37:37.150 And laid it upon Isaac his son 00:37:37.150 --> 00:37:40.750 So Isaac was carrying the wood 00:37:40.750 --> 00:37:42.680 Picturing that Jesus would carry the cross 00:37:42.680 --> 00:37:45.100 John 19, look at verse 16 00:37:45.100 --> 00:37:47.090 John 19, verse 16 00:37:47.090 --> 00:37:50.210 The Bible says then deliver he him 00:37:50.210 --> 00:37:52.470 That's Pilate delivering Jesus 00:37:52.470 --> 00:37:54.440 There found to them to be crucified 00:37:54.440 --> 00:37:57.390 And they took Jesus and led him away 00:37:57.390 --> 00:38:01.550 And he, talking about Jesus, bearing his cross 00:38:01.550 --> 00:38:04.680 Went forth into a place called the place of a skull 00:38:04.680 --> 00:38:08.820 Which is called in the Hebrew, Golgotha 00:38:08.820 --> 00:38:11.150 Where they crucified him and two other with him 00:38:11.150 --> 00:38:14.090 On either side one and Jesus in the midst 00:38:14.090 --> 00:38:17.570 Sometimes we read past verses like this 00:38:17.570 --> 00:38:22.780 But just notice that Jesus carried the very cross 00:38:22.780 --> 00:38:24.140 That he will be crucified on 00:38:24.140 --> 00:38:27.940 That is love, right? 00:38:27.940 --> 00:38:29.860 And that is determination 00:38:29.860 --> 00:38:31.860 He came to save sinners like you and me 00:38:31.860 --> 00:38:34.330 He carried the cross 00:38:34.330 --> 00:38:38.120 We could do John chapter 12 00:38:38.120 --> 00:38:42.090 Apostle Paul said that Christ Jesus came into the world 00:38:42.090 --> 00:38:45.270 To save sinners of whom I am chief 00:38:45.270 --> 00:38:52.130 The Bible says in Luke 19 verse 10 00:38:52.130 --> 00:38:54.490 John 12 look at verse 27 00:38:54.490 --> 00:38:56.690 John 12 27 00:38:56.690 --> 00:39:00.940 The Bible says now is my soul troubled 00:39:00.940 --> 00:39:01.960 And what shall I say? 00:39:01.960 --> 00:39:04.120 Father save me from this hour 00:39:04.120 --> 00:39:08.230 But for this cause came I unto this hour 00:39:08.230 --> 00:39:10.780 Jesus Christ came for a mission 00:39:10.780 --> 00:39:13.110 And that's for die for your sins 00:39:13.110 --> 00:39:14.020 For this cause 00:39:14.020 --> 00:39:17.070 Now go to Luke chapter 9 00:39:17.070 --> 00:39:18.000 Luke chapter number 9 00:39:18.000 --> 00:39:20.720 So my question to you is this 00:39:20.720 --> 00:39:24.010 Jesus carry his cross 00:39:24.010 --> 00:39:25.830 Would you carry your cross 00:39:25.830 --> 00:39:27.830 Luke chapter 9 00:39:27.830 --> 00:39:28.780 Look at verse 23 00:39:28.780 --> 00:39:30.260 Luke chapter 9 00:39:30.260 --> 00:39:32.550 verse 23 00:39:32.550 --> 00:39:36.550 Luke 9 23 00:39:36.550 --> 00:39:37.530 And he said to them all 00:39:37.530 --> 00:39:39.500 If any man will come after me 00:39:39.500 --> 00:39:40.490 Let him deny himself 00:39:40.490 --> 00:39:43.680 And take up his cross daily 00:39:43.680 --> 00:39:44.630 And follow me 00:39:44.630 --> 00:39:45.920 So Christ is saying that 00:39:45.920 --> 00:39:47.850 Hey I have carried your cross 00:39:47.850 --> 00:39:49.950 You know 00:39:49.950 --> 00:39:52.960 I have carried the cross 00:39:52.960 --> 00:39:54.910 To pay for your sin 00:39:54.910 --> 00:39:55.890 To sacrifice for you 00:39:55.890 --> 00:39:56.940 Would you carry your cross 00:39:56.940 --> 00:39:57.900 To follow me 00:39:57.900 --> 00:40:00.310 Now go to Colossians chapter 3 00:40:00.310 --> 00:40:01.320 Colossians chapter 3 00:40:01.320 --> 00:40:06.120 So Christ wants us to take up his cross daily 00:40:06.120 --> 00:40:07.140 And to follow him 00:40:07.140 --> 00:40:10.930 What does that mean? 00:40:10.930 --> 00:40:14.900 The cross is an instrument of death 00:40:14.900 --> 00:40:18.510 So to take up the cross means to die to yourself 00:40:18.510 --> 00:40:21.090 Colossians chapter 3 look at verse number 5 00:40:21.090 --> 00:40:23.160 Colossians 3.5 00:40:23.160 --> 00:40:25.120 The Bible says 00:40:25.120 --> 00:40:26.310 Mortify 00:40:26.310 --> 00:40:29.370 The word mortify means to put to death 00:40:29.370 --> 00:40:31.030 Mortify therefore your members 00:40:31.030 --> 00:40:32.020 That's your body parts 00:40:32.020 --> 00:40:33.000 That's your flesh 00:40:33.000 --> 00:40:35.960 Which are upon the earth fornication and cleaness 00:40:35.960 --> 00:40:41.070 Inordinate affection, evil, evil concupiscence and covetousness 00:40:41.070 --> 00:40:43.040 which is idolatry 00:40:43.040 --> 00:40:47.560 For which things sake the wrath of God comment on the children of disobedience 00:40:47.560 --> 00:40:51.520 In the which you also walked some time when you lived in them 00:40:51.520 --> 00:40:57.480 But now you also put off all these anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth 00:40:57.480 --> 00:41:00.850 Lie now one to another 00:41:00.850 --> 00:41:03.970 That's a great verse 00:41:03.970 --> 00:41:05.950 Lie now one to another 00:41:05.950 --> 00:41:07.920 Seeing that you have put off the old man with his deeds 00:41:07.920 --> 00:41:09.900 And put on the new man 00:41:09.900 --> 00:41:14.370 Which is renewed in knowledge of the image of him that created him 00:41:14.370 --> 00:41:19.220 The Bible says we should put our flesh to death 00:41:19.220 --> 00:41:21.600 That means to put away fornication 00:41:21.600 --> 00:41:28.940 Uncleanness, all these evil things, covetousness, lying, idolatry 00:41:28.940 --> 00:41:30.130 Putting these off 00:41:30.130 --> 00:41:32.440 That's how you die to yourself 00:41:32.440 --> 00:41:36.350 That's how you take up the cross daily 00:41:36.350 --> 00:41:39.150 Now go to Galatians chapter 2 00:41:39.150 --> 00:41:40.080 Galatians chapter 2 00:41:40.080 --> 00:41:42.890 See, dying to yourself looks like this 00:41:42.890 --> 00:41:45.180 Dying to your will, right? 00:41:45.180 --> 00:41:47.150 Dying to your comfort 00:41:47.150 --> 00:41:49.120 Dying to your plans 00:41:49.120 --> 00:41:51.060 Dying to your sinful desires 00:41:51.060 --> 00:41:53.380 Galatians 2.20 00:41:53.380 --> 00:41:57.320 Let me show you a very powerful verse that Paul said 00:41:57.320 --> 00:42:00.050 Galatians 2.20 says this 00:42:00.050 --> 00:42:02.070 Galatians chapter 2 verse 20 00:42:02.070 --> 00:42:03.270 Apostle Paul said this 00:42:03.270 --> 00:42:05.210 I am crucified with Christ 00:42:05.210 --> 00:42:07.520 Nevertheless I live, yet not I 00:42:07.520 --> 00:42:09.490 But Christ liveth in me 00:42:09.490 --> 00:42:11.460 And the life which I now live in the flesh 00:42:11.460 --> 00:42:14.560 I live by the faith of the Son of God 00:42:14.560 --> 00:42:17.510 Who loved me and gave himself for me 00:42:17.510 --> 00:42:18.720 Notice the progression again 00:42:18.720 --> 00:42:23.910 Why did Paul chose to die to himself 00:42:23.910 --> 00:42:26.320 Because Christ loved him 00:42:26.320 --> 00:42:28.420 Because Christ gave himself for him 00:42:28.420 --> 00:42:32.220 See Jesus Christ was crucified for me 00:42:32.220 --> 00:42:36.170 And that's why it's reasonable for me to die to myself 00:42:36.170 --> 00:42:39.130 Because I must decrease he must increase 00:42:39.130 --> 00:42:44.080 I wish everyone of you can say I'm crucified with Christ 00:42:44.080 --> 00:42:47.250 Choose to die to yourself every single day 00:42:47.250 --> 00:42:49.210 Because he carried the cross for you 00:42:49.210 --> 00:42:54.530 Now go back to Genesis 22 00:42:54.530 --> 00:42:56.900 So I said point number one 00:42:56.900 --> 00:42:58.850 Jesus is God's only begotten son 00:42:58.850 --> 00:42:59.820 Point number two 00:42:59.820 --> 00:43:01.980 Jesus was sacrificed in Jerusalem 00:43:01.980 --> 00:43:02.940 Point number three 00:43:02.940 --> 00:43:05.290 Jesus was a burnt sacrifice 00:43:05.290 --> 00:43:06.270 Point number four 00:43:06.270 --> 00:43:07.250 The resurrection 00:43:07.250 --> 00:43:08.230 Point number five 00:43:08.230 --> 00:43:10.200 Jesus carried the cross 00:43:10.200 --> 00:43:11.910 Point number six 00:43:11.910 --> 00:43:17.650 Jesus voluntarily laid down his life 00:43:17.650 --> 00:43:21.010 Jesus voluntarily laid down his life 00:43:21.010 --> 00:43:25.030 Genesis 22, look at verse number seven 00:43:25.030 --> 00:43:27.260 Actually, let's go to verse number nine 00:43:27.260 --> 00:43:30.230 Genesis 22, verse number nine 00:43:30.230 --> 00:43:33.220 And they came to the place which God had told him of 00:43:33.220 --> 00:43:35.550 And Abraham built an altar there 00:43:35.550 --> 00:43:37.530 And laid the wood in order 00:43:37.530 --> 00:43:39.510 And bound Isaac his son 00:43:39.510 --> 00:43:42.480 And laid him on the altar upon the wood 00:43:42.480 --> 00:43:45.680 So verse nine says 00:43:45.680 --> 00:43:49.280 Abraham laid Isaac on the wood 00:43:49.280 --> 00:43:52.550 Bound him with ropes probably 00:43:52.550 --> 00:43:53.490 And laid him on the altar, right? 00:43:53.490 --> 00:43:58.650 I believe Isaac was an adult at this point 00:43:58.650 --> 00:44:00.430 I don't think he 00:44:00.430 --> 00:44:03.350 I mean I don't believe that he was a child 00:44:03.350 --> 00:44:06.900 Now the question is when was Isaac born? 00:44:06.900 --> 00:44:09.430 Go to Genesis 17 00:44:09.430 --> 00:44:10.370 Genesis 17 00:44:10.370 --> 00:44:14.830 Look at verse number 17 00:44:14.830 --> 00:44:20.050 Genesis 17, verse 17 00:44:20.050 --> 00:44:30.420 The Bible says, "Then Abraham fell upon his face and laughed and said in his heart, 'Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old, and shall Sarah that is ninety years old bear?'" 00:44:30.420 --> 00:44:35.590 So Sarah likely gave birth to Isaac when she was ninety years old 00:44:35.590 --> 00:44:39.940 Now go to Genesis 23 00:44:39.940 --> 00:44:45.920 Genesis 23, because I want to deduce how old was Isaac at that time 00:44:45.920 --> 00:44:49.170 Genesis 23, look at verse number 1 00:44:49.170 --> 00:44:53.670 And Sarah was 107 and 20 years old 00:44:53.670 --> 00:44:57.100 These were the years of the life of Sarah 00:44:57.100 --> 00:45:00.040 So Sarah was 127 years old when she died 00:45:00.040 --> 00:45:05.030 And she was 90, maybe 91 depends on the pregnancy 00:45:05.030 --> 00:45:08.000 And she was 90 when Isaac was born 00:45:08.000 --> 00:45:13.280 This means that Isaac was about 37 years old when Sarah died 00:45:13.280 --> 00:45:19.080 And since Genesis 22 was before chapter 23 00:45:19.080 --> 00:45:25.330 Isaac could be in his late teens to the 30s 00:45:25.330 --> 00:45:28.070 But here's my speculation though 00:45:28.070 --> 00:45:33.420 I would not be surprised that if Isaac was about 33 years old when this happened 00:45:33.420 --> 00:45:36.750 Since this was a picture of Jesus 00:45:36.750 --> 00:45:39.740 Again, that's my speculation but I will not say that 00:45:39.740 --> 00:45:42.720 But Isaac was definitely before 37 00:45:42.720 --> 00:45:44.710 So it's around that timeline 00:45:44.710 --> 00:45:48.690 Since the whole story is an amazing prophecy 00:45:48.690 --> 00:45:54.660 So I would not be surprised if Isaac was about 33 years old just like Jesus 00:45:54.660 --> 00:46:00.340 Not with John chapter 10 00:46:00.340 --> 00:46:02.300 So what's my point? 00:46:02.300 --> 00:46:05.440 I believe Isaac voluntarily laid down his life 00:46:05.440 --> 00:46:14.040 Just like Jesus voluntarily laid down his life 00:46:14.040 --> 00:46:19.260 Because if Isaac didn't want this to happen he could just run away 00:46:19.260 --> 00:46:25.520 He allowed himself to be bound and lay down the altar 00:46:25.520 --> 00:46:31.140 So that's why Jesus also voluntarily laid down his life 00:46:31.140 --> 00:46:32.110 In fact that's exactly what he did 00:46:32.110 --> 00:46:36.750 John chapter 10 look at verse number 17 00:46:36.750 --> 00:46:38.710 Also Isaac couldn't be too young 00:46:38.710 --> 00:46:41.730 Because otherwise he could not be carrying the cross 00:46:41.730 --> 00:46:43.770 John chapter 10 look at verse number 17 00:46:43.770 --> 00:46:44.740 Carry the wood 00:46:44.740 --> 00:46:47.480 John 10 17 says 00:46:47.480 --> 00:46:49.790 Therefore does my father love me 00:46:49.790 --> 00:46:52.270 Because I lay down my life 00:46:52.270 --> 00:46:56.390 That's his own choice that I might take it again 00:46:56.390 --> 00:46:59.370 To me this is another powerful verse 00:46:59.370 --> 00:47:02.340 Every verse I preached this morning is powerful 00:47:02.340 --> 00:47:05.310 But verse 17 is really really powerful 00:47:05.310 --> 00:47:07.640 Because Jesus did not just die 00:47:07.640 --> 00:47:09.070 But he chose to die 00:47:09.070 --> 00:47:12.510 And that's not the only part 00:47:12.510 --> 00:47:14.430 And he did not just hope to rise again 00:47:14.430 --> 00:47:17.240 He had the power to rise again 00:47:17.240 --> 00:47:20.180 Notice what he said 00:47:20.180 --> 00:47:22.330 Because I lay down my life 00:47:22.330 --> 00:47:23.250 That I might take it again 00:47:23.250 --> 00:47:25.550 Look at verse number 18 00:47:25.550 --> 00:47:27.480 No man taketh it from me 00:47:27.480 --> 00:47:29.500 But I lay it down of myself 00:47:29.500 --> 00:47:31.660 I have power to lay it down 00:47:31.660 --> 00:47:32.780 Don't miss this 00:47:32.780 --> 00:47:34.710 And I have power to take it again 00:47:34.710 --> 00:47:38.380 This commandment have I received of my father 00:47:38.380 --> 00:47:40.340 See death did not conquer Jesus 00:47:40.340 --> 00:47:42.600 He has conquered death 00:47:42.600 --> 00:47:45.250 See Abraham believed God could raise up Isaac 00:47:45.250 --> 00:47:48.300 But Jesus did not just believe in the resurrection 00:47:48.300 --> 00:47:50.250 He is the resurrection 00:47:50.250 --> 00:47:53.310 And he had the power to take his life again 00:47:53.310 --> 00:47:56.110 Amazing verse there 00:47:56.110 --> 00:47:58.040 Amazing passage 00:47:58.040 --> 00:48:00.010 Now go to Romans chapter 12 00:48:00.010 --> 00:48:02.400 Romans chapter number 12 00:48:02.400 --> 00:48:07.730 So let me ask you this 00:48:07.730 --> 00:48:10.640 If Jesus is willing to lay down his life for you 00:48:10.640 --> 00:48:15.810 Are you willing to give your life to him? 00:48:15.810 --> 00:48:17.980 And this may sound like a cliché question 00:48:17.980 --> 00:48:18.950 But that's a good question right? 00:48:18.950 --> 00:48:20.600 Romans 12.1 says 00:48:20.600 --> 00:48:22.570 I beseech you therefore brethren by the mercies of God 00:48:22.570 --> 00:48:25.530 That ye present your bodies a living sacrifice 00:48:25.530 --> 00:48:29.780 Holy acceptable unto God which is your reasonable service 00:48:29.780 --> 00:48:32.060 See this is a choice 00:48:32.060 --> 00:48:37.370 You have to voluntarily choose to present your bodies as a living sacrifice 00:48:37.370 --> 00:48:42.390 Just like Jesus voluntarily chose to die for you 00:48:42.390 --> 00:48:47.470 1st John chapter 3 00:48:47.470 --> 00:48:50.220 What about this? 00:48:50.220 --> 00:48:55.480 If Christ is willing to lay down his life for you voluntarily 00:48:55.480 --> 00:49:02.170 Are you willing to voluntarily defend the people whom you trust and love? 00:49:02.170 --> 00:49:05.600 Proverbs 18.24 says 00:49:05.600 --> 00:49:09.680 A man that hath had friends must show himself friendly 00:49:09.680 --> 00:49:13.020 And there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother 00:49:13.020 --> 00:49:14.590 1st John 3 00:49:14.590 --> 00:49:15.540 Look at verse number 16 00:49:15.540 --> 00:49:18.700 1st John 3.16 00:49:18.700 --> 00:49:20.220 The Bible says 00:49:20.220 --> 00:49:22.140 Hereby perceive we the love of God 00:49:22.140 --> 00:49:24.220 Notice the same progression 00:49:24.220 --> 00:49:27.160 Because he laid down his life for us 00:49:27.160 --> 00:49:31.280 And we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren 00:49:31.280 --> 00:49:37.130 Especially the people at this church whom you know and trust 00:49:37.130 --> 00:49:42.340 Invest your time in them, forgive them, suffer yourself to be defrauded 00:49:42.340 --> 00:49:45.510 And to strive together for the faith of the gospel 00:49:45.510 --> 00:49:48.660 Because Christ has laid down his life for us 00:49:48.660 --> 00:49:52.380 We ought to lay down our lives for the brethren 00:49:52.380 --> 00:49:56.330 Go back to Genesis 22 00:49:56.330 --> 00:50:01.670 So I say point number one, Jesus is God's only begotten son 00:50:01.670 --> 00:50:04.970 Point number two, Jesus was sacrificed in Jerusalem 00:50:04.970 --> 00:50:09.280 Point number three, Jesus was a burned sacrifice 00:50:09.280 --> 00:50:11.260 Point number four, the resurrection 00:50:11.260 --> 00:50:13.240 Point number five, Jesus carried the cross 00:50:13.240 --> 00:50:16.210 Point number six, Jesus voluntarily laid down his life 00:50:16.210 --> 00:50:21.410 And lastly, point number seven, Jesus is our substitute 00:50:21.410 --> 00:50:26.370 Look at verse number seven, Genesis 22, verse number seven 00:50:26.370 --> 00:50:34.390 And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father and said 00:50:34.390 --> 00:50:37.780 My father and he said, Here am I, my son 00:50:37.780 --> 00:50:41.080 And he said, Behold the fire and the wood 00:50:41.080 --> 00:50:44.620 But where is the lamb for a burned offering? 00:50:44.620 --> 00:50:47.580 And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself 00:50:47.580 --> 00:50:49.550 A lamb for a burned offering 00:50:49.550 --> 00:50:51.810 So they went both of them together 00:50:51.810 --> 00:50:54.170 Now this is my side point 00:50:54.170 --> 00:50:58.680 That Abraham went with Isaac to the altar 00:50:58.680 --> 00:51:03.300 They went both of them together 00:51:03.300 --> 00:51:04.280 That's why I also believe 00:51:04.280 --> 00:51:06.250 That God the Father was with Jesus 00:51:06.250 --> 00:51:10.190 When he was on his way to be crucified 00:51:10.190 --> 00:51:11.170 Obviously we can make the application 00:51:11.170 --> 00:51:14.280 That God is with you when you go through trials 00:51:14.280 --> 00:51:17.790 Don't grow bitter, be better 00:51:17.790 --> 00:51:18.710 But also don't miss this 00:51:18.710 --> 00:51:21.230 In verse number 8 00:51:21.230 --> 00:51:23.200 Abraham said my son 00:51:23.200 --> 00:51:27.690 God will provide himself a lamb 00:51:27.690 --> 00:51:29.720 Let me just read this again 00:51:29.720 --> 00:51:33.670 God will provide himself a lamb 00:51:33.670 --> 00:51:34.650 The Bible does not say 00:51:34.650 --> 00:51:36.610 God will provide a lamb for himself 00:51:36.610 --> 00:51:37.590 The Bible says 00:51:37.590 --> 00:51:42.510 God will provide himself as a lamb 00:51:42.510 --> 00:51:43.460 This means that 00:51:43.460 --> 00:51:46.240 The himself here is God, right? 00:51:46.240 --> 00:51:48.550 And who was the lamb being offered? 00:51:48.550 --> 00:51:49.910 Jesus 00:51:49.910 --> 00:51:54.850 So this proves that Jesus is God from the Old Testament 00:51:54.850 --> 00:51:55.830 Because in the beginning was the word 00:51:55.830 --> 00:51:57.780 And the word was with God 00:51:57.780 --> 00:51:58.760 And the word was God 00:51:58.760 --> 00:52:02.090 And Jesus is the lamb of God 00:52:02.090 --> 00:52:04.050 Which taketh away the sin of the world, right? 00:52:04.050 --> 00:52:07.830 And God will provide himself a lamb 00:52:07.830 --> 00:52:09.280 Look at verse number 9 00:52:09.280 --> 00:52:13.680 Genesis 22, verse number 9 00:52:13.680 --> 00:52:14.630 And they came to the place 00:52:14.630 --> 00:52:16.720 Which God had told him of 00:52:16.720 --> 00:52:18.960 And Abraham built an altar there 00:52:18.960 --> 00:52:20.910 And laid the wood in order 00:52:20.910 --> 00:52:22.930 And bound Isaac his son 00:52:22.930 --> 00:52:25.060 And laid him on the altar 00:52:25.060 --> 00:52:26.050 Upon the wood 00:52:26.050 --> 00:52:28.020 And Abraham stretched forth his hand 00:52:28.020 --> 00:52:29.990 And took the knife to slay his son 00:52:29.990 --> 00:52:31.840 By the way 00:52:31.840 --> 00:52:34.750 Abraham was about to slay Isaac 00:52:34.750 --> 00:52:36.850 Then burn him 00:52:36.850 --> 00:52:39.150 So what is this picture 00:52:39.150 --> 00:52:41.400 The physical death on the cross 00:52:41.400 --> 00:52:42.360 And then burning in hell 00:52:42.360 --> 00:52:43.640 Right 00:52:43.640 --> 00:52:45.220 Look at verse number 11 00:52:45.220 --> 00:52:47.210 And the angel of the Lord 00:52:47.210 --> 00:52:48.490 Caught unto him out of heaven 00:52:48.490 --> 00:52:50.420 And said Abraham Abraham 00:52:50.420 --> 00:52:52.810 And he said here am I 00:52:52.810 --> 00:52:54.780 And he said lay not thine hand 00:52:54.780 --> 00:52:55.770 Upon the lad 00:52:55.770 --> 00:52:58.850 Nither do thou anything unto him 00:52:58.850 --> 00:53:00.810 For now I know that thou fearst God 00:53:00.810 --> 00:53:03.940 Seeing thou hast not withheld thy son 00:53:03.940 --> 00:53:05.900 Thine only son from me 00:53:05.900 --> 00:53:07.860 So this whole situation 00:53:07.860 --> 00:53:10.150 Was a test of faith 00:53:10.150 --> 00:53:13.260 I believe that God would have never allowed to 00:53:13.260 --> 00:53:15.220 God would never have allowed this to happen anyway 00:53:15.220 --> 00:53:17.190 This whole thing is a test of faith 00:53:17.190 --> 00:53:18.170 Look at verse number 13 00:53:18.170 --> 00:53:23.750 And Abraham lifted up his eyes 00:53:23.750 --> 00:53:25.700 And looked and behold 00:53:25.700 --> 00:53:28.250 Behind him a ram 00:53:28.250 --> 00:53:30.370 What's a ram? It's a male sheep 00:53:30.370 --> 00:53:33.650 You know, again, picture of Jesus Christ is a man, right? 00:53:33.650 --> 00:53:34.580 Caught in a thicket 00:53:34.580 --> 00:53:36.130 What's a thicket? 00:53:36.130 --> 00:53:39.100 It's a wood or a collection of trees or shrubs 00:53:39.100 --> 00:53:40.080 Closely set 00:53:40.080 --> 00:53:41.070 What is that picture? 00:53:41.070 --> 00:53:44.610 The crown of thorns by his horns 00:53:44.610 --> 00:53:46.870 And Abraham went and took the ram 00:53:46.870 --> 00:53:49.960 And offered him up for a burnt offering 00:53:49.960 --> 00:53:50.920 Don't miss this 00:53:50.920 --> 00:53:53.000 In the stead of his son 00:53:53.000 --> 00:53:56.840 It means as a substitution, right? 00:53:56.840 --> 00:53:58.780 This is one of the clearest examples 00:53:58.780 --> 00:54:02.060 Of the penal substitutionary atonement of Christ 00:54:02.060 --> 00:54:05.540 St. Corinthians 521 says 00:54:05.540 --> 00:54:07.480 For he had made him to be sin for us 00:54:07.480 --> 00:54:08.580 Who knew no sin 00:54:08.580 --> 00:54:12.810 That we might be made the righteousness of God in him 00:54:12.810 --> 00:54:14.070 Now go to 1 Peter chapter 2 00:54:14.070 --> 00:54:16.010 1 Peter chapter 2 00:54:16.010 --> 00:54:17.930 I'm almost down 00:54:17.930 --> 00:54:18.880 1 Peter chapter 2 00:54:18.880 --> 00:54:21.720 Towards the end of your Bible 00:54:21.720 --> 00:54:23.660 1 Peter 2 look at verse 24 00:54:23.660 --> 00:54:29.470 1 Peter chapter 2 verse 24 00:54:29.470 --> 00:54:35.670 Bible says in 1 Peter chapter 2 verse 24 00:54:35.670 --> 00:54:37.630 Who his own self 00:54:37.630 --> 00:54:40.010 2 Talk about Jesus 00:54:40.010 --> 00:54:40.970 3 Buried our sins 00:54:40.970 --> 00:54:43.370 4 In his own body on the tree 00:54:43.370 --> 00:54:44.400 5 That's the wood 00:54:44.400 --> 00:54:45.380 6 That's the cross 00:54:45.380 --> 00:54:47.340 7 That we being dead to sins 00:54:47.340 --> 00:54:49.580 8 Should live unto righteousness 00:54:49.580 --> 00:54:51.880 9 By whose stripes 00:54:51.880 --> 00:54:53.200 10 He will heal 00:54:53.200 --> 00:54:56.240 10 The last phrase is really fascinating 00:54:56.240 --> 00:54:57.200 11 Because 00:54:57.200 --> 00:54:58.650 12 What saved us 00:54:58.650 --> 00:55:00.790 13 Is it the cross 00:55:00.790 --> 00:55:01.760 14 Is it the blood 00:55:01.760 --> 00:55:03.710 15 Is it the hell atonement 00:55:03.710 --> 00:55:05.140 16 Is all the blood 00:55:05.140 --> 00:55:07.030 17 Is the stripes that 00:55:07.030 --> 00:55:08.060 18 You know 00:55:08.060 --> 00:55:09.000 19 Scourges 00:55:09.000 --> 00:55:10.000 19 Jesus 00:55:10.000 --> 00:55:11.970 20 Is the cross 00:55:11.970 --> 00:55:12.950 21 Is hell 00:55:12.950 --> 00:55:13.930 21 Is blood 00:55:13.930 --> 00:55:14.910 22 Is his 00:55:14.910 --> 00:55:15.890 23 Resurrected life 00:55:15.890 --> 00:55:17.820 24 Is everything 00:55:17.820 --> 00:55:18.770 25 But he 00:55:18.770 --> 00:55:20.490 26 Is his own self 00:55:20.490 --> 00:55:21.460 27 Buried our sins 00:55:21.460 --> 00:55:22.420 28 On the tree 00:55:22.420 --> 00:55:23.390 29 And here's why 00:55:23.390 --> 00:55:24.780 30 It's so important 00:55:24.780 --> 00:55:25.690 31 To grasp this 00:55:25.690 --> 00:55:26.790 32 Because God 00:55:26.790 --> 00:55:29.690 32 Is perfectly just 00:55:29.690 --> 00:55:30.620 33 He is holy 00:55:30.620 --> 00:55:31.770 34 He is just 00:55:31.770 --> 00:55:32.740 35 Roman 623 says 00:55:32.740 --> 00:55:33.710 36 For the wages 00:55:33.710 --> 00:55:35.570 37 Of sin is death 00:55:35.570 --> 00:55:36.530 38 The wages of sin 00:55:36.530 --> 00:55:37.690 38 Is eternal death 00:55:37.690 --> 00:55:39.090 39 In hell 00:55:39.090 --> 00:55:40.050 40 And the substitutionary 00:55:40.050 --> 00:55:41.450 41 Atonement of Christ 00:55:41.450 --> 00:55:42.450 41 Teaches us that 00:55:42.450 --> 00:55:43.410 42 You know 00:55:43.410 --> 00:55:44.370 43 God did not 00:55:44.370 --> 00:55:45.450 43 Just stop the sacrifice 00:55:45.450 --> 00:55:46.430 44 God didn't 00:55:46.430 --> 00:55:47.410 45 Stop the sacrifice 00:55:47.410 --> 00:55:49.040 43 He just changed the person 00:55:49.040 --> 00:55:51.900 44 Who is supposed to be sacrificed 00:55:51.900 --> 00:55:53.930 45 God didn't cancel the sacrifice 00:55:53.930 --> 00:55:55.900 46 God didn't cancel the sacrifice 00:55:55.900 --> 00:55:59.070 47 He provided a substitute 00:55:59.070 --> 00:56:00.800 47 Because God is still just 00:56:00.800 --> 00:56:01.870 48 The penalty of sin 00:56:01.870 --> 00:56:03.750 49 Still need to be paid 00:56:03.750 --> 00:56:06.710 50 Isaac represent Christ in the story 00:56:06.710 --> 00:56:10.030 51 But he can also picture you and me 00:56:10.030 --> 00:56:10.650 52 Think about this 00:56:10.650 --> 00:56:11.670 53 There are so many parallels 00:56:11.670 --> 00:56:13.010 54 And so many symbolisms 00:56:13.010 --> 00:56:14.870 55 In this one story 00:56:14.870 --> 00:56:18.600 56 That Isaac was under the sentence of death 00:56:18.600 --> 00:56:20.890 57 Isaac was bound for the altar 00:56:20.890 --> 00:56:23.240 56 Just like we were under a curse 00:56:23.240 --> 00:56:24.450 57 We were going to hell 00:56:24.450 --> 00:56:26.410 57 Because of our sins, right? 00:56:26.410 --> 00:56:30.150 58 And just like Isaac was in need of a substitute 00:56:30.150 --> 00:56:33.870 59 We were also in need of a substitute 00:56:33.870 --> 00:56:35.700 60 And if you are not saved today 00:56:35.700 --> 00:56:38.450 61 You are in need of a substitute 00:56:38.450 --> 00:56:41.100 62 But God provided a ram 00:56:41.100 --> 00:56:42.690 63 The ram had to die 00:56:42.690 --> 00:56:45.310 64 So Isaac can live 00:56:45.310 --> 00:56:47.570 65 Just like Jesus died and rose again 00:56:47.570 --> 00:56:50.410 66 So we can have eternal life 00:56:50.410 --> 00:56:51.960 67 Go to 1 Peter chapter 3 00:56:51.960 --> 00:56:54.190 68 1 Peter chapter 3 00:56:54.190 --> 00:56:57.880 69 Isaiah 53 verse 6 says this 00:56:57.880 --> 00:57:00.070 70 All we like sheep have gone astray 00:57:00.070 --> 00:57:02.120 70 We have turned everyone to his own way 00:57:02.120 --> 00:57:04.660 70 And the Lord has laid on him 00:57:04.660 --> 00:57:08.010 70 Jesus, the iniquity of us all 00:57:08.010 --> 00:57:09.630 70 That's a substitute 00:57:09.630 --> 00:57:10.430 70 1 Peter chapter 3 00:57:10.430 --> 00:57:11.560 70 Look at verse number 18 00:57:11.560 --> 00:57:13.480 70 1 Peter 3, 18 00:57:13.480 --> 00:57:14.500 70 The Bible says 00:57:14.500 --> 00:57:18.050 70 For Christ also had once suffered for sins 00:57:18.050 --> 00:57:20.440 70 The just for the unjust 00:57:20.440 --> 00:57:22.120 70 That's a substitute, right 00:57:22.120 --> 00:57:23.930 70 That he might bring us to God 00:57:23.930 --> 00:57:25.790 70 Being put to death in the flesh 00:57:25.790 --> 00:57:28.260 70 But quickened by the Spirit 00:57:28.260 --> 00:57:30.630 70 See, God's wrath must be satisfied 00:57:30.630 --> 00:57:32.720 70 The debt of sin must be paid 00:57:32.720 --> 00:57:36.270 70 If Jesus didn't take your place as a substitute 00:57:36.270 --> 00:57:37.290 70 And die for you 00:57:37.290 --> 00:57:39.710 70 Then we are all going to hell 00:57:39.710 --> 00:57:41.490 70 If this doesn't make you thank God 00:57:41.490 --> 00:57:43.620 70 I don't know what will 00:57:43.620 --> 00:57:44.560 70 He's our substitute 00:57:44.560 --> 00:57:45.910 70 Because he's perfectly just 00:57:45.910 --> 00:57:47.690 70 He did not cancel the sacrifice 00:57:47.690 --> 00:57:49.470 70 He just changed the person 00:57:49.470 --> 00:57:50.730 70 Who's supposed to be said 00:57:50.730 --> 00:57:53.990 70 Who's supposed to be sacrificed 00:57:53.990 --> 00:57:54.810 70 See if it 00:57:54.810 --> 00:57:56.800 70 See if this doesn't make you serve God 00:57:56.800 --> 00:57:58.210 70 I don't know what will 00:57:58.210 --> 00:58:00.870 70 I mean I just rest my case right 00:58:00.870 --> 00:58:01.950 70 If this doesn't make you 00:58:01.950 --> 00:58:03.390 70 sacrifice your life for God 00:58:03.390 --> 00:58:05.120 70 I don't know what will 00:58:05.120 --> 00:58:06.820 70 If this doesn't motivate you 00:58:06.820 --> 00:58:08.850 70 to win souls to Christ 00:58:08.850 --> 00:58:10.590 70 I don't know what will 00:58:10.590 --> 00:58:13.770 70 If this doesn't encourage you 00:58:13.770 --> 00:58:15.660 70 to stand for the truth 00:58:15.660 --> 00:58:17.710 70 I don't know what will 00:58:17.710 --> 00:58:18.880 70 I like the hymn 00:58:18.880 --> 00:58:21.010 70 You know Jesus paid it all 00:58:21.010 --> 00:58:23.170 70 All to him I owe 00:58:23.170 --> 00:58:24.560 70 Right, sin had left the crimson 00:58:24.560 --> 00:58:27.810 70 saying he washed it white as snow 00:58:27.810 --> 00:58:29.620 70 So I say point number one 00:58:29.620 --> 00:58:31.310 70 Jesus is God's only begotten son 00:58:31.310 --> 00:58:32.630 70 Point number two 00:58:32.630 --> 00:58:34.600 70 Jesus was sacrificed in Jerusalem 00:58:34.600 --> 00:58:35.650 70 Point number three 00:58:35.650 --> 00:58:37.340 70 Jesus was a burnt sacrifice 00:58:37.340 --> 00:58:38.320 70 Point number four 00:58:38.320 --> 00:58:39.300 70 The resurrection 00:58:39.300 --> 00:58:40.410 70 Point number five 00:58:40.410 --> 00:58:41.470 70 Jesus carried the cross 00:58:41.470 --> 00:58:42.440 70 Point number six 00:58:42.440 --> 00:58:44.900 70 Jesus voluntarily laid down his life 00:58:44.900 --> 00:58:46.030 70 And point number seven 00:58:46.030 --> 00:58:48.020 70 Jesus is our substitute 00:58:48.020 --> 00:58:50.140 70 So this afternoon 00:58:50.140 --> 00:58:52.170 70 We will take the
