WEBVTT - Jeff Archey - Oct 19 - 6:00 am

0:00:00.660 --> 0:00:04.880
<v Speaker 1>To God be the glory, great things he hath done. Oh,

0:00:04.960 --> 0:00:08.400
<v Speaker 1>what a wonderful declaration and praise to God and a

0:00:08.560 --> 0:00:13.770
<v Speaker 1>wonderful direction for us. When one sees the glory of God,

0:00:13.880 --> 0:00:17.570
<v Speaker 1>that's our study today from the International Gospel Hour. Back

0:00:17.610 --> 0:00:18.090
<v Speaker 1>in a moment.

0:00:20.130 --> 0:00:26.490
<v Speaker 2>Hi, this is Jay Webb for International Gospel Hour. Welcome

0:00:26.530 --> 0:00:30.360
<v Speaker 2>to our broadcast today. For over 90 years, churches of

0:00:30.420 --> 0:00:34.820
<v Speaker 2>Christ have proclaimed God's Word through our broadcasts. Just ahead

0:00:34.979 --> 0:00:39.790
<v Speaker 2>is another Bible-based lesson with Jeff Archie of International Gospel Hour.

0:00:40.409 --> 0:00:49.610
<v Speaker 1>Let's begin. Well, thank you to our J-Web, and greetings everyone.

0:00:49.930 --> 0:00:52.630
<v Speaker 1>Great having you with us today, and as we begin,

0:00:53.070 --> 0:00:58.840
<v Speaker 1>let us hear our lesson text. of John 11, 39-42.

0:00:59.590 --> 0:01:05.000
<v Speaker 1>At the grave of Lazarus, Jesus said, Take away the stone. Martha,

0:01:05.380 --> 0:01:08.500
<v Speaker 1>the sister of him who was dead, said to him, Lord,

0:01:08.560 --> 0:01:11.240
<v Speaker 1>by this time there is a stench, for he has

0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:15.560
<v Speaker 1>been dead four days. Jesus said to her, Did I

0:01:15.620 --> 0:01:18.080
<v Speaker 1>not say to you that if you would believe, you

0:01:18.100 --> 0:01:21.600
<v Speaker 1>would see the glory of God? Then they took away

0:01:21.640 --> 0:01:24.440
<v Speaker 1>the stone from the place where the dead man was lying,

0:01:25.170 --> 0:01:28.150
<v Speaker 1>And Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, Father, I

0:01:28.970 --> 0:01:32.460
<v Speaker 1>thank you that you have heard me, and I know

0:01:32.540 --> 0:01:36.520
<v Speaker 1>that you always hear me, but because of the people

0:01:36.580 --> 0:01:40.060
<v Speaker 1>who are standing by, I said this, that they may

0:01:40.140 --> 0:01:45.640
<v Speaker 1>believe that you sent me. Listen again to Jesus' statement

0:01:45.690 --> 0:01:49.310
<v Speaker 1>to Martha in verse 40. Did I not say to

0:01:49.370 --> 0:01:53.250
<v Speaker 1>you that if you would believe, you would see the

0:01:53.310 --> 0:01:58.060
<v Speaker 1>glory of God? Jesus desired people to believe God by

0:01:58.120 --> 0:02:02.530
<v Speaker 1>seeing God's glory. And here in John 11, we see

0:02:02.570 --> 0:02:05.990
<v Speaker 1>the glory of God brought forth and exalted. Back to

0:02:06.030 --> 0:02:10.620
<v Speaker 1>verse 15, for the disciples to believe. Here in John 11,

0:02:10.620 --> 0:02:11.930
<v Speaker 1>25 through 27, and again in verse 40, for Martha

0:02:11.950 --> 0:02:13.010
<v Speaker 1>to believe. From John 11, 31 and 32, for Mary

0:02:13.030 --> 0:02:14.250
<v Speaker 1>to believe. And in John 11, 42 and 45, for

0:02:14.270 --> 0:02:26.250
<v Speaker 1>the people to believe. The glory of God was brought

0:02:26.310 --> 0:02:31.680
<v Speaker 1>forth for faith to come forth to individuals. Even the

0:02:31.780 --> 0:02:34.880
<v Speaker 1>enemies of Christ came to see the power of the Christ,

0:02:35.060 --> 0:02:39.580
<v Speaker 1>John 11, 47 and 48. And such was done through

0:02:39.620 --> 0:02:43.440
<v Speaker 1>the glory of God. Even they realized that all men

0:02:43.660 --> 0:02:47.610
<v Speaker 1>would believe. You know, friends, in the Bible, over 500

0:02:47.610 --> 0:02:53.160
<v Speaker 1>times we find the word glory stated one of three ways. First,

0:02:53.400 --> 0:02:56.740
<v Speaker 1>one's aim to God, or glorifying Him for what He

0:02:56.780 --> 0:03:00.590
<v Speaker 1>has done and what He continues to do. Praising Him

0:03:00.690 --> 0:03:04.990
<v Speaker 1>for His glory and honor. And the third one, unfortunately,

0:03:05.150 --> 0:03:09.290
<v Speaker 1>glorifying in oneself. That's the one we wish to avoid.

0:03:10.169 --> 0:03:14.079
<v Speaker 1>Before our time today, let us see the glory that matters.

0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:19.320
<v Speaker 1>The glory of the Almighty God. Let's begin in just

0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:23.180
<v Speaker 1>a moment for our study. When One Sees the Glory

0:03:23.220 --> 0:03:26.420
<v Speaker 1>of God. As we prepare for that study, allow me

0:03:26.460 --> 0:03:34.399
<v Speaker 1>to mention our friends at truth.fm. That's truth.fm. We want

0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:37.640
<v Speaker 1>you to check out their number of listening options and

<v Speaker 1>singing of some of the most blessed long-time hymns. Again, folks,

0:03:47.380 --> 0:03:54.440
<v Speaker 1>that's simply truth.fm. Once again, truth.fm. We hope that tool

0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:58.140
<v Speaker 1>will be of help to you. Friends, let's talk about

0:03:58.220 --> 0:04:01.580
<v Speaker 1>when one sees the glory of God. When one sees

0:04:01.640 --> 0:04:04.710
<v Speaker 1>the glory of God, one sees the Son of God.

0:04:05.430 --> 0:04:08.690
<v Speaker 1>Let's think about His birth, His life, and His death.

0:04:09.450 --> 0:04:13.490
<v Speaker 1>In the birth of Christ, Luke 2.14, Glory to God

0:04:13.650 --> 0:04:16.670
<v Speaker 1>in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men.

0:04:17.770 --> 0:04:20.720
<v Speaker 1>In Luke 2 and verse 20, And the shepherds returned,

0:04:21.260 --> 0:04:24.420
<v Speaker 1>glorifying and praising God for all the things that they

0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:29.340
<v Speaker 1>had heard and seen as it was told unto them. Now,

0:04:29.860 --> 0:04:34.920
<v Speaker 1>what about his life? Well, in Luke 7, 11-18, When

0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:38.620
<v Speaker 1>Jesus raised the dead, the son of the widow of Nain,

0:04:39.460 --> 0:04:42.580
<v Speaker 1>Verse 16 says, There came a fear on all, and

0:04:42.620 --> 0:04:46.109
<v Speaker 1>they glorified God, saying that a great prophet is risen

0:04:46.250 --> 0:04:50.250
<v Speaker 1>up among us, and that God hath visited his people.

0:04:51.430 --> 0:04:56.390
<v Speaker 1>In healing the sick from Luke 17, 11-19, how about

0:04:56.410 --> 0:05:00.490
<v Speaker 1>that grateful leper? One of them, when he saw that

0:05:00.510 --> 0:05:03.240
<v Speaker 1>he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice

0:05:03.270 --> 0:05:06.680
<v Speaker 1>he glorified God, and fell down on his face at

0:05:06.740 --> 0:05:12.100
<v Speaker 1>his feet, giving him thanks, and he was a Samaritan. Again,

0:05:12.140 --> 0:05:15.660
<v Speaker 1>that's from verses 15 and 16. So in the life

0:05:15.740 --> 0:05:20.140
<v Speaker 1>of Christ, when people would see him perform these miracles,

0:05:20.460 --> 0:05:25.180
<v Speaker 1>immediate miracles that is, raising the dead, healing the sick,

0:05:25.460 --> 0:05:29.730
<v Speaker 1>they glorified God. And glorified God for what had happened.

0:05:30.990 --> 0:05:35.150
<v Speaker 1>What about through his death? We note from our studies

0:05:35.190 --> 0:05:40.050
<v Speaker 1>of history that centurions were individuals promoted to a position

0:05:40.810 --> 0:05:45.610
<v Speaker 1>over a garrison of 100 men. that they were individuals

0:05:45.650 --> 0:05:50.960
<v Speaker 1>with intelligence, with knowledge, and beside the cross of Christ,

0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:54.919
<v Speaker 1>when all was done, when the temple was torn in two,

0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:59.140
<v Speaker 1>when there was darkness that day, and when Jesus died.

0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:04.270
<v Speaker 1>Luke 23, 47, when the centurion saw what was done,

0:06:05.589 --> 0:06:10.909
<v Speaker 1>he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man.

0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:16.979
<v Speaker 1>I think about when one is baptized. Yes, friends, when

0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:21.600
<v Speaker 1>one is buried in water in baptism, a burial that

0:06:21.660 --> 0:06:25.440
<v Speaker 1>we are placed under, buried with him in baptism, Colossians 2,

0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:29.140
<v Speaker 1>verse 12. Romans 6 and verse 4 says, Therefore we

0:06:29.220 --> 0:06:33.000
<v Speaker 1>are buried with him by baptism into death, that like

0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:35.349
<v Speaker 1>as Christ was raised up from the dead by the

0:06:35.380 --> 0:06:38.930
<v Speaker 1>glory of the Father, even so we also should walk

0:06:38.990 --> 0:06:43.770
<v Speaker 1>in newness of life. When we are raised from the

0:06:43.810 --> 0:06:46.910
<v Speaker 1>waters of baptism, we're raised up from the dead by

0:06:46.950 --> 0:06:49.650
<v Speaker 1>the glory of the Father, and we walk in newness

0:06:49.690 --> 0:06:54.030
<v Speaker 1>of life, all we give credit to God's glory. Romans 6,

0:06:54.010 --> 0:06:57.820
<v Speaker 1>verse 4. To God be the glory through the Christ.

0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:01.800
<v Speaker 1>Are we not thankful, dear friends? You know, without Christ,

0:07:02.140 --> 0:07:05.200
<v Speaker 1>there is no hope. And when we're able to see

0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:08.820
<v Speaker 1>the Son of God and to glorify God through the birth,

0:07:08.860 --> 0:07:11.250
<v Speaker 1>the life, and the death of Christ, then we need

0:07:11.270 --> 0:07:14.800
<v Speaker 1>to make certain that the life of Christ, that Christ

0:07:15.260 --> 0:07:20.200
<v Speaker 1>is our life. Colossians 3, 1 through 4. And we

0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:22.480
<v Speaker 1>need to make certain that when one sees the glory

0:07:22.500 --> 0:07:24.200
<v Speaker 1>of God, we see the Son of God, and we

0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:27.250
<v Speaker 1>can embrace God's glory and thankful that we can change

0:07:27.370 --> 0:07:30.310
<v Speaker 1>our lives through the Son. With that being said, let's

0:07:30.510 --> 0:07:32.990
<v Speaker 1>consider number two. When one sees the glory of God,

0:07:33.590 --> 0:07:38.810
<v Speaker 1>one sees sanctification. The word sanctification is defined as a

0:07:38.910 --> 0:07:43.550
<v Speaker 1>separation to God a separation from evil things and ways,

0:07:44.050 --> 0:07:47.310
<v Speaker 1>and one is built up little by little. So sanctification

0:07:47.710 --> 0:07:50.710
<v Speaker 1>is to be set apart from the world, evil things

0:07:50.770 --> 0:07:55.130
<v Speaker 1>and ways, but yet set unto God. And I love

0:07:55.170 --> 0:07:58.070
<v Speaker 1>the thought of being built up little by little. One

0:07:58.130 --> 0:08:03.900
<v Speaker 1>can grow in God. Oh, so many times individuals say,

0:08:04.420 --> 0:08:06.980
<v Speaker 1>let me get some things squared away and then I'll

0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:10.780
<v Speaker 1>come to God. Well, friends, we need God to help

0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:14.510
<v Speaker 1>us move from those things. A separation to God, a

0:08:15.730 --> 0:08:19.070
<v Speaker 1>separation away from the things of God, or away from

0:08:19.110 --> 0:08:22.120
<v Speaker 1>the things of the world, and unto God built up.

0:08:23.130 --> 0:08:26.730
<v Speaker 1>Let's consider. When Peter came to Jerusalem, he reported of

0:08:26.770 --> 0:08:30.860
<v Speaker 1>the happenings with the Gentiles, specifically the household of Cornelius.

0:08:31.700 --> 0:08:35.280
<v Speaker 1>In Acts 11, verse 18, when they heard these things,

0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:39.420
<v Speaker 1>they held their peace and peace. glorified God, saying, Then

0:08:39.480 --> 0:08:43.250
<v Speaker 1>hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life.

0:08:44.910 --> 0:08:47.630
<v Speaker 1>And when the Gentiles heard this, the message of Christ,

0:08:47.970 --> 0:08:51.110
<v Speaker 1>in Acts 13, 48, they were glad and glorified the

0:08:51.150 --> 0:08:54.150
<v Speaker 1>word of the Lord, and as many as were ordained

0:08:54.190 --> 0:08:59.000
<v Speaker 1>to eternal life believed. They were obedient unto God. They

0:08:59.100 --> 0:09:03.319
<v Speaker 1>changed their lives, separated from the world, separate unto God.

0:09:04.420 --> 0:09:07.270
<v Speaker 1>And when one is obedient to God, One must see

0:09:07.309 --> 0:09:10.210
<v Speaker 1>the glory of God in setting them apart from the world.

0:09:11.230 --> 0:09:16.559
<v Speaker 1>And that is tragic. A world that is tragic, a

0:09:16.700 --> 0:09:19.840
<v Speaker 1>world that will blind us. Isn't that what Paul said

0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:22.339
<v Speaker 1>in 2 Corinthians 4 and verse 4? The God of

0:09:22.380 --> 0:09:25.380
<v Speaker 1>this world, God their little g, the God of this

0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:28.040
<v Speaker 1>world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not,

0:09:28.570 --> 0:09:31.110
<v Speaker 1>lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who

0:09:31.150 --> 0:09:34.950
<v Speaker 1>is the image of God, should shine unto them. Satan

0:09:34.990 --> 0:09:38.050
<v Speaker 1>has his power. He's not as powerful as God. But

0:09:38.090 --> 0:09:40.880
<v Speaker 1>he's blinded the minds of so many that fail to believe.

0:09:41.940 --> 0:09:43.860
<v Speaker 1>All have sinned and come short of the glory of God,

0:09:43.900 --> 0:09:46.960
<v Speaker 1>Romans 3 and verse 23. And when one falls short

0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:51.300
<v Speaker 1>of God's glory, it's because of sin in one's life. Friends,

0:09:51.340 --> 0:09:54.430
<v Speaker 1>that's why it's so beautiful that an individual can believe

0:09:54.590 --> 0:09:58.390
<v Speaker 1>in God. With a faith that is defined by Scripture

0:09:58.510 --> 0:10:01.470
<v Speaker 1>as a faith that moves us, us closer to God,

0:10:02.510 --> 0:10:06.089
<v Speaker 1>a faith that leads us to repentance that Jesus commanded

0:10:06.150 --> 0:10:10.150
<v Speaker 1>in Luke 13, 3 and 5, commanded to be preached,

0:10:10.460 --> 0:10:15.140
<v Speaker 1>Luke 24, 44 through 47, and repentance that is preached

0:10:15.280 --> 0:10:20.670
<v Speaker 1>unto this day, Acts 2, 38, Acts 3, 19, Acts 17,

0:10:20.670 --> 0:10:24.219
<v Speaker 1>30 and 31. Repentance is a turn away and a

0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:29.670
<v Speaker 1>turn toward God. And then, friends, when one moves on

0:10:29.690 --> 0:10:32.869
<v Speaker 1>their faith, confesses their faith, as the eunuch did in

0:10:32.950 --> 0:10:36.069
<v Speaker 1>Acts 8 and verse 37. And with the heart man

0:10:36.110 --> 0:10:39.470
<v Speaker 1>believes unto righteousness, with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

0:10:39.510 --> 0:10:43.860
<v Speaker 1>Romans 10, verses 9 and 10. And then, friends, as

0:10:43.890 --> 0:10:47.320
<v Speaker 1>we noted moments ago, one is then baptized into Christ.

0:10:47.920 --> 0:10:50.400
<v Speaker 1>as they were commanded to do so on the day

0:10:50.440 --> 0:10:52.860
<v Speaker 1>of Pentecost in Acts 2 and verse 38, and that

0:10:52.900 --> 0:10:57.230
<v Speaker 1>they did, verse 41. And then as Paul even experienced

0:10:57.690 --> 0:10:59.849
<v Speaker 1>the washing away of sins, calling on the name of

0:10:59.870 --> 0:11:03.470
<v Speaker 1>the Lord, Acts 22, 16. Friends, when one sees the

0:11:03.490 --> 0:11:05.690
<v Speaker 1>glory of God, one sees the Son of God, and

0:11:05.809 --> 0:11:10.750
<v Speaker 1>one sees sanctification. Through our study today, we'd like to

0:11:10.850 --> 0:11:13.910
<v Speaker 1>share with you, to prompt you for your further study

0:11:13.929 --> 0:11:16.330
<v Speaker 1>of the Bible, And to see the glory of God,
