1 00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:05,160 Speaker 1: Let us pray, But without faith, it is impossible to 2 00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:08,680 Speaker 1: please him. For he that cometh to God must believe 3 00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:11,840 Speaker 1: that He is, and that He is a rewarder of 4 00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:18,479 Speaker 1: them that diligently seek him Hebrews eleven six. My good 5 00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:22,120 Speaker 1: works are not enough to please you Lord. My belief 6 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:24,439 Speaker 1: in your reality is what you are looking for in me. 7 00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 1: You created me for an intimate love relationship with you. 8 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,960 Speaker 1: You desire to fellowship with me and have honest communion 9 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:37,320 Speaker 1: with me. As I diligently seek you in your word 10 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:42,520 Speaker 1: and through prayer, you will reveal yourself to me.

They will be borne from my 13 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,159 Speaker 1: faith in you, and not the pride of my flesh. 14 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 1: What is born of the spirit of love has eternal value. 15 00:00:59,520 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 2: Amen. 16 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 1: Thank you for listening to today's daily prayer for more 17 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 1: inspiration and an incredible message from our feature pastor.

Join Pastor Jeff as we 37 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 4: learned three encouraging insights about the mercy of God that 38 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,639 Speaker 4: we find at the Throne of Grace. 39 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:07,360 Speaker 2: Hebrews Chapter four, such a great passage of scripture. Hebrews 40 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 2: was written by an unnamed author. We don't know who 41 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 2: wrote Hebrews. I love what Walter Martin says about Hebrews. 42 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 2: It says the Book of Hebrews was written by a 43 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:23,799 Speaker 2: Hebrew to other Hebrews, telling the Hebrews to stop acting 44 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 2: like Hebrews. See what is the Book of Hebrews it's about. 45 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 2: It's talking to Jews, Jews who were true believers in 46 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 2: one camp, and intellectual believers but never really trusted Christ 47 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 2: in another camp. And the third camp was those who 48 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 2: are investigating Jesus. And the Book of Hebrews tells us 49 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 2: that Jesus is better than Moses, better than Aaron, better 50 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 2: than the Temple, better than Melchizedek, better than the Angels. 51 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 2: He is the pearl of great price, he is everything. 52 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 2: And the judicial or the sacrificial system that is recorded 53 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 2: in the Book of Leviticus, that is obsolete because the 54 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 2: Lamb of God has come and he has given himself, 55 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 2: and he is now our high priest, and we don't 56 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 2: need to give the sacrifices anymore. So a Hebrew telling 57 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 2: Hebrews to stop acting like Hebrews. We don't have to 58 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:19,039 Speaker 2: have this sacrificial system anymore because Jesus has made that obsolete. 59 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 2: And this is what he says in chapter four, beginning 60 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 2: in verse fourteen. Since then we have a great high 61 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 2: priest who has passed through the heavens Jesus the Son 62 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 2: of God. Let us hold fast our confession, for we 63 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 2: do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with 64 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 2: our weaknesses, but one who has been tempted in all 65 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 2: things as we are yet without sin. Let Us therefore 66 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:48,840 Speaker 2: draw near with confidence to the Throne of Grace, that 67 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 2: we may receive mercy and find grace to help in 68 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 2: time of need. Three insights from these three verses that 69 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 2: are so encourage, that are so helpful, that have helped me, 70 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 2: and I trust they will help you. Insight Number one, 71 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 2: our great High Priest has paved the way for us. 72 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 2: He has paved the way for us since then Verse fourteen. 73 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 2: We have a great high priest who has passed through 74 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,600 Speaker 2: the heavens, Jesus the Son of God. Let us hold 75 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 2: fast our confession. Now this is a Jewish book written 76 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 2: to Jews. They knew about the sacrificial system. They knew 77 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:31,159 Speaker 2: about the high priest. You know, the high priest was 78 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 2: from the tribe of Levi, and he was a descendant 79 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 2: of Erin you had. All the priests came from the 80 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:43,040 Speaker 2: tribe of Levi. Levi, but the chief priest the high priest, 81 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 2: the ones who went into the temple, the ones who 82 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 2: offered the sacrifices. They were from the sons or from 83 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:54,799 Speaker 2: the lineage of Erin, Moses' brother Aaron, and the chief priest. 84 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:59,239 Speaker 2: The high priest would go into the temple one time 85 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 2: a year, and he'd go past the outer court into 86 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 2: the inner court, into the innermost court, and he would 87 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 2: offer sacrifices for the people on the day of Atonement 88 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 2: on Yam kippor. Well, that was the high priest in 89 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 2: the Old Testament. That's the high priest that the Jews knew. 90 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 2: These Hebrews that he's writing to, they knew about that. 91 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,600 Speaker 2: He says, Jesus is not just a high priest. He's 92 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 2: a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek. He's 93 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 2: the greatest high priest. He's greater than any Aaron. He's 94 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 2: greater than any Melchizedic. He's greater than any angel. He 95 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 2: is the great high priest. And what has he done. 96 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:43,919 Speaker 2: He has passed through the heavens. Jesus, the Son of God. 97 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 2: Jesus became our high priest through the blood of his 98 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:52,359 Speaker 2: cross and the power of his resurrection. That's when he 99 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 2: became our high priest. Some will argue with that and say, well, 100 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 2: he was the high priest in John seventeen, as he 101 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 2: praised his high priestly prayer. But he became the high 102 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 2: priest according to scripture, when he died on the cross 103 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 2: and rose again from the dead. Look what it says 104 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 2: in Hebrews two seventeen. Therefore he had to be made 105 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 2: like his brethren in all things, that he might become 106 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 2: a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, 107 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 2: to make propitiation, satisfaction, forgiveness for the sins of the people. 108 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 2: That's what Jesus did when he died on the cross 109 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 2: and rose again from the dead, and then ascended into heaven. 110 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 2: He passed through the heavens. The high priest would pass 111 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,560 Speaker 2: through the veil. But when Jesus died on the cross, 112 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 2: the veil of the temple was torn into from top 113 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 2: to bottom. And he has passed through all the way 114 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 2: to the heavens. And what did he do when he 115 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 2: ascended to heaven. He sat down at the right hand 116 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 2: of the throne of God. No priest ever did that, 117 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 2: No high priest ever sat down. You didn't There's no 118 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 2: chair in the Holy Place or in the Holy of Holies. 119 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 2: Definitely not in the Holy of Holies. You don't want 120 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 2: to sit down in the Holy of Holies. If you 121 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 2: said I'm just going to hang out in the presence 122 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 2: of God here in the Holy of Holies, for sure 123 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 2: you would have been fried. So you go in there, 124 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 2: you do what you need to do, and you get out. 125 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 2: No priests ever sat down. Here's what the Bible says 126 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 2: Hebrews chapter ten, beginning in verse eleven. And every priest 127 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 2: stands daily, ministering and offering time after time the same sacrifices, 128 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 2: which can never take away sins. But he, having offered 129 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 2: one sacrifice for sins for all time, sat down at 130 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,200 Speaker 2: the right hand of God, waiting from that time onward 131 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 2: until his enemies be made a footstool for his feet. 132 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 2: For by one offering he has perfected for all time. 133 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:48,840 Speaker 2: Those who are sanctified the Old Testament priest, they sacrifice 134 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 2: year after year, day after day. There's always sacrifice that's 135 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 2: taking place at the temple. John MacArthur said, a priest 136 00:08:55,640 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 2: and the Old Testament system was basically a butcher. He's 137 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 2: just constantly cutting up animals and offering them on the altar, 138 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:05,679 Speaker 2: and the high priest is going in on the day 139 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 2: of yam Kapor, offering blood on the altar. Jesus offered 140 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 2: himself behold the lamb of God. John the Baptist said, 141 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 2: who takes away the sin of the world, For by 142 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:20,840 Speaker 2: one offering he has perfected forever those who are sanctified, 143 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,960 Speaker 2: those who are set apart. In Jesus, so he sat 144 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 2: down because his work was finished. What did he say 145 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:31,440 Speaker 2: on the cross? It is finished tetaleste. I paid in full. 146 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,320 Speaker 2: I paid it all. And the veil of the temple 147 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:38,959 Speaker 2: was torn into from top to bottom. And Jesus lives 148 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 2: to make innercession for us. Now this is interesting about 149 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 2: the Lord Jesus. See in the Old Testament you have 150 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,319 Speaker 2: three offices, three main offices that are talked about the 151 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 2: office of priest. And priest is an intercessor. He's a 152 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,679 Speaker 2: go between. He presents the people to God, God to 153 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,680 Speaker 2: the people. The priest he stands in the gap. And 154 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 2: then you you have the prophet who speaks on behalf 155 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 2: of God. And we read about so many Old Testament prophets. 156 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:11,440 Speaker 2: And then you have the king. And the king was 157 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 2: not a prophet and he was not a priest. You remember, 158 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 2: in the Book of First Samuel, Saul loses his kingdom. 159 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 2: Why because he took on the role of priest. He 160 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 2: was waiting for Samuel. Samuel was both a prophet and 161 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 2: a priest. He was waiting for Samuel to offer the sacrifice. 162 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 2: But Samuel was delayed in coming, and Saul got nervous 163 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 2: because the people started to flee from him, and they 164 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,320 Speaker 2: started to drift away. And so he took on the 165 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 2: office a priest, and he offered the sacrifice, and sure's 166 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 2: the world. While he's offering the sacrifice, here comes Samuel 167 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:50,200 Speaker 2: and he says, what are you doing. You have violated 168 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 2: your position. You are not a priest, you're the king. 169 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 2: And so in Old Testament times you didn't take on 170 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 2: something else like that. The king never became the priest, 171 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 2: and the priest was never the king. But in the 172 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 2: Lord Jesus he is prophet, priest and king, and his 173 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 2: earthly ministry is primarily prophet. He's preaching. He didn't do 174 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 2: anything in the temple. Jesus didn't go to the temple 175 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 2: and say, well, now I'm going to offer sacrifices. It's 176 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 2: JOm Kapor I'll go behind the Holy of Holies. He 177 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 2: didn't do that. He was prophet. But then when he 178 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 2: died on the cross, he took on and rose again 179 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 2: from the dead. He took on the position of priest. 180 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 2: And where is Jesus now? The Bible says he is 181 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 2: in heaven. He is seated at the right hand of 182 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 2: the throne of God and Hebrews seven twenty five. He 183 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 2: always lives to make intercession for them. He's interceding for 184 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 2: you and for me. See the devil, the Bible tells 185 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:52,720 Speaker 2: us Revelation chapter twelve. He accuses us before God day 186 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 2: and night, and the Lord defends us. We have an 187 00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 2: advocate with the father of Jesus Christ, the Righteous. He 188 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,720 Speaker 2: defends us before for God, night and day, and he 189 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,560 Speaker 2: is praying for his children, interceding. He ever lives to 190 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 2: make intercession for those who are saved. So what is 191 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:12,560 Speaker 2: he doing right now? He's acting as priest. And when 192 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 2: he comes again Revelation chapter nineteen, riding the white horse, 193 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 2: he comes back as king, prophet, priest, and King, our 194 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 2: great High Priest has paved the way for us. Second insight, 195 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:41,319 Speaker 2: our great High Priest has sympathy for us. Verse fifteen. 196 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 2: For we do not have a high priest who cannot 197 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 2: sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who has been tempted 198 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:52,080 Speaker 2: in all things as we are yet without sin. Now 199 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:56,199 Speaker 2: would be easy. As you're reading verse fourteen, Jesus, the 200 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,679 Speaker 2: Son of God, the Son of God, did this. The 201 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 2: Son of God offered himself. The Son of God caused 202 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 2: the veil to be torn from top to bottom. The 203 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 2: Son of God sat down at the right hand of 204 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 2: the throne of God. How do you approach God and 205 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:21,560 Speaker 2: can the Son of God, which you know, don't ever 206 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 2: get the idea that there's God and there's the Son 207 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,600 Speaker 2: of God and he's somehow lesser than God. No, in 208 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 2: the minds of the Hebrews, if you said that Jesus 209 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 2: was the son of God, that means Jesus's deity, I 210 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:35,560 Speaker 2: am the Father, are one. If you've seen me, you've 211 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 2: seen the Father before Abraham was born. I am he 212 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,080 Speaker 2: is the Great. I am the Son of God, is 213 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:45,440 Speaker 2: co equal with God. And they knew that. That's why 214 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:49,679 Speaker 2: they said to Pilot he didn't want to crucify Jesus. 215 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,440 Speaker 2: He wanted to release Jesus. And they said, we have 216 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,440 Speaker 2: a law and by that law, he deserves to die, 217 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:59,839 Speaker 2: for he has declared himself the son of God. He 218 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:05,720 Speaker 2: has blasphemed because he said he was God, and he 219 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:10,479 Speaker 2: must die. That was the reason that Jesus was crucified. 220 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 2: He was crucified for being who he was, the son 221 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 2: of God. But now we look at that and we say, 222 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 2: you know, this idea about coming before the throne of 223 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 2: Grace and telling my problems to Jesus, the Son of God, 224 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 2: I have trouble sharing my struggles with God. You know, 225 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 2: how does God understand what I am struggling with? Well, 226 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 2: he is Jesus, the Son of God, Jesus, the Son 227 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,520 Speaker 2: of God. Obviously, the son of God refers to his deity, 228 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 2: but Jesus refers to his humanity. Jesus of Nazareth, or 229 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 2: as they would say in Arabic, Yeshua and Zarath. That's 230 00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,400 Speaker 2: what they called him, Jesus of Nazareth. They knew that 231 00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 2: Jesus of Nazareth was a human being. He was a man, 232 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 2: And Jesus is both God and man, very God of 233 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 2: very God, very man of very man, as much God 234 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 2: as though we were not man at all, as much 235 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,680 Speaker 2: man as though we were not God. At all. It 236 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 2: is mind boggling how he can be all God and 237 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 2: all man at the same time. I love what Job says. 238 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 2: You know, Job, who is going through all kinds of difficulty, 239 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 2: didn't understand why he was going through what he was 240 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 2: going through. He didn't have the benefit of knowing that 241 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 2: Satan and God had been talking about him. He just 242 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 2: knew that his life totally fell apart, and he's lost everything. 243 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 2: He's lost his children, and his heart is broken, and 244 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,040 Speaker 2: he's scraping himself with a piece of broken pottery as 245 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 2: he's covered from head to toe in sore boils. And 246 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 2: he says this. He says in Job nine, for God 247 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 2: is not a man as I am, that I may 248 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 2: answer him, that we may go to court together. There 249 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 2: is no umpire between us, who may lay his hand 250 00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:01,840 Speaker 2: upon us both. Isn't that an interesting? Job's one of 251 00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 2: the oldest books in the Bible. Job is probably a 252 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:10,800 Speaker 2: contemporary of Abraham, and Job said way back when, Oh, 253 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 2: I wish there was someone who could be an umpire 254 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 2: between sinful man and Holy God, somebody who could understand 255 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 2: man's situation and could understand God's situation, understand man's situation 256 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 2: because he's a man understand God's situation because he's God. 257 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 2: He was calling for the Lord Jesus, who is the 258 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:36,880 Speaker 2: mediator between God and man, the man Christ. Jesus. He 259 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 2: can lay his hand upon God's throne because he is God. 260 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 2: He can lay his hand upon job and sinners because 261 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 2: he was made like us. He's human. He's both, and 262 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 2: he can understand and relate to our weaknesses. We don't 263 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 2: have a high priest, even though he's the son of God. 264 00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 2: He's Jesus, the son of God. We don't have a 265 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 2: high priest who can sympathize with our weaknesses. That word 266 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:08,480 Speaker 2: sympathize means to commiserate, to have compassion, to have fellow feelings. 267 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:12,160 Speaker 2: He knows what it's like to be weak. He knows 268 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 2: what it's like to have physical weakness, to have emotional weakness. 269 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:22,639 Speaker 2: We struggle. We have weaknesses physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually. We 270 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:28,359 Speaker 2: have struggles morally, and we're weak. Hey, Jesus experienced hunger. 271 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 2: Jesus experienced thirst. Jesus got tired. Jesus experienced the pain 272 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:39,399 Speaker 2: of being laughed at, being mocked, being spit upon. He 273 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:43,359 Speaker 2: knows what it's like. He can sympathize with our weaknesses, 274 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:46,720 Speaker 2: and everybody in this room. You have weaknesses, I have weaknesses. 275 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:51,640 Speaker 2: We have weaknesses. The strongest among us has feet of clay. 276 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:57,760 Speaker 2: That's why we need to walk very humbly, because nobody's arrived. 277 00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 2: We have our weaknesses. He understand he can relate to those. 278 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 2: He has compassion. He feels for you in your weaknesses, 279 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:11,400 Speaker 2: and he knows exactly what it's like to be tempted. 280 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 2: We don't have a high priest who cannot sympathize with 281 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,879 Speaker 2: our weaknesses, but one who has been tempted in all 282 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:23,920 Speaker 2: things as we are, yet without sin. Every temptation you've 283 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:33,600 Speaker 2: experienced he experienced. Jesus took the full load from the devil, 284 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 2: the very most that he could give the Lord Jesus. 285 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,679 Speaker 2: In terms of temptation, You and I cave at six. 286 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:46,879 Speaker 2: Jesus took it all the way to ten, and he resisted, 287 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:51,720 Speaker 2: even to the point of shedding blood. He knows what 288 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,199 Speaker 2: it's like to be tempted better than you know what 289 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,080 Speaker 2: it's like to be tempted, and he's able to come 290 00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:00,879 Speaker 2: to the aid of those who are tempted. We don't 291 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 2: have a high priest who cannot sympathize and commiserate, and 292 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:09,480 Speaker 2: have fellow feelings about your weaknesses, my weaknesses, our weaknesses, 293 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 2: our temptations, our struggles. He knows and he cares. Our 294 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 2: great High Priest has paved the way for us. Our 295 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:23,879 Speaker 2: great High Priest has sympathy for us, and insight number three, 296 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 2: Our great High Priest has made a throne of grace 297 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 2: for us, a throne of grace for you and for me. 298 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 2: Verse sixteen is such a great verse because we have 299 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:40,439 Speaker 2: this great High Priest who has made a sacrifice and 300 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 2: sat down at the right hand of the throne of God, 301 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:46,159 Speaker 2: and has gone through the heavens, and he feels for 302 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,720 Speaker 2: us and has compassion and sympathy and knows what it's 303 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,160 Speaker 2: like to be tempted, says in verse sixteen. Let us 304 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 2: therefore draw near with confidence to the Throne of Grace, 305 00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,920 Speaker 2: that we may receive mercy and find grace to help 306 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:05,480 Speaker 2: in time of need. Reme, Remember what my friend Ron said, 307 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 2: My friend Ron, more and moron, he said, I can't 308 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 2: come when I've committed this sin, then I can't come 309 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:16,400 Speaker 2: to God. I'm just too filthy, I'm too sinful, I'm 310 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:20,160 Speaker 2: too alienated from God. I can't come. I can't pray, 311 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 2: but Verse sixteen says you can. Says you can draw 312 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 2: near with confidence to the throne of grace to receive 313 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,920 Speaker 2: mercy and find grace to help in time of need. 314 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:38,639 Speaker 2: See we can come to God with confidence because of Jesus, confidence, 315 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:44,879 Speaker 2: because of Jesus. We don't come on our merits, your merit, 316 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,879 Speaker 2: my merit, the apostle, Paul's merit, the writer of Hebrews merits. 317 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 2: We don't come based on how good we are, because 318 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,120 Speaker 2: we're not. Our righteous deeds are as a filthy rag 319 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,679 Speaker 2: before God, all of sin and fall short of the 320 00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,680 Speaker 2: glory of God. We come based on what Jesus did 321 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:04,239 Speaker 2: on his merits. See Ephesians one six says that we 322 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 2: are accepted in the Beloved, and the beloved is Jesus. 323 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 2: And when we accept Jesus, he accepts Us, and then 324 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:17,399 Speaker 2: we're accepted in him. Ephesians four thirty two says that 325 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 2: be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just 326 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:28,680 Speaker 2: as God for Christ's sake has forgiven you. Why did 327 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:33,439 Speaker 2: God forgive me for Christ's sake? Because he accepted what 328 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:37,200 Speaker 2: Jesus did on the cross. He put an exclamation point 329 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,360 Speaker 2: on it. When he raised him from the dead. That 330 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,680 Speaker 2: paid That was the propitiation for our sins. That was 331 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 2: the satisfaction, the forgiveness for our sins. What Jesus did 332 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,120 Speaker 2: on the cross and through his empty tomb, and anybody 333 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,159 Speaker 2: who comes to Jesus in repentance and faith, they're placed 334 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 2: into Jesus. And when God sees you, he doesn't see you. 335 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:57,440 Speaker 2: He sees his own son. And if you're struggling with sin, 336 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:01,680 Speaker 2: as we all struggle with sin, can boldly with confidence 337 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:05,040 Speaker 2: to the Throne of Grace, knowing that the Lord will 338 00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 2: receive you, because in Jesus you're accepted in the blood. See, 339 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 2: we have confidence in the fact that we're going to 340 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,199 Speaker 2: be accepted. Jesus said, the one who comes to me 341 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 2: will by no means be cast out. I won't throw 342 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 2: you out if you come to me. Come to me 343 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 2: all who are weary and heavy laden, and I will 344 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:24,199 Speaker 2: give you rest, he says. So if you're weary and 345 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:27,040 Speaker 2: heavy laden and beaten down and broken down, you can 346 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 2: come to the Lord. The prostitute in Luke seven could 347 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 2: come to the Lord and weep at his feet, and 348 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 2: he says, your sins have been forgiven, your faith has saved. 349 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 2: You go in peace now. Simon the Pharisee, this is 350 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:40,879 Speaker 2: a story in Luke seven. He sees that, and he says, 351 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:42,919 Speaker 2: if this man were a prophet, he would know what 352 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 2: kind of woman is touching him. He wouldn't let her 353 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:51,359 Speaker 2: touch him. She is an immoral woman. She's a prostitute. 354 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:54,720 Speaker 2: You don't as a problem. You don't let the woman 355 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:58,360 Speaker 2: like that touch you. She was coming with a broken heart. 356 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 2: She was coming repentantly to Lord. And what does he 357 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:06,200 Speaker 2: have for repentant sinners? Grace. We can come to God 358 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:09,439 Speaker 2: with confidence because of Jesus, and we can come to 359 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 2: God and receive mercy and more grace. Let us draw 360 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:17,919 Speaker 2: in there with confidence to the throne of grace, that 361 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:21,880 Speaker 2: we may receive mercy. Oh, I need mercy, especially when 362 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:26,480 Speaker 2: I fail, And we may receive mercy and find grace 363 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 2: to help in our time of need. David in Psalm 364 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:34,720 Speaker 2: fifty one, after he sinned with Bathsheba, after he had 365 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 2: her husband Uriah, the Kittite killed such terrible, horrible sins, 366 00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 2: And he comes before the Lord. Be gracious to me, O, God, 367 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,159 Speaker 2: according to your loving kindness, according to the greatness of 368 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:50,480 Speaker 2: your compassion, blot out my transgressions. Be gracious, gracious, be 369 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 2: merciful to me. Oh God, he needed God's mercy. He 370 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 2: needed God's grace. You need it, I need it. We 371 00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:01,520 Speaker 2: need it God's mercy and grace. And God sits on 372 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 2: a throne of grace. And the Bible says of Jesus 373 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:08,679 Speaker 2: of his fullness, we have all received and grace upon grace, 374 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 2: grace upon grace. God is the God of all grace. 375 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 2: He has an inexhaustible supply of grace. Now we say 376 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 2: grace is the unmerited favor of God. You don't earn it, 377 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:21,640 Speaker 2: you don't deserve it, but He gives it to you anyway. 378 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 2: Grace is God's riches at Christ's expense. Grace is the 379 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 2: desire one definition too. It's the desire and the power 380 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,200 Speaker 2: to live for the Lord. Remember what we said, grace 381 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 2: is big. It's like grabbing onto orca. You can't do it. 382 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 2: It's just so massive. But it's the desire and the 383 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:43,159 Speaker 2: power one definition to live for the Lord. And so 384 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:45,560 Speaker 2: when we blow it, we come before the Lord, and 385 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:49,080 Speaker 2: we come before his throne of grace. He doesn't sit 386 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 2: on a throne of judgment for his children. He doesn't 387 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 2: sit on a throne of condemnation for his children. He 388 00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:02,440 Speaker 2: doesn't sit on a throne of desc disgust for his children. 389 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:07,120 Speaker 2: He doesn't sit on a throne of termination for his children. 390 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 2: That's it. You're done, Get out of here. I've forgiven 391 00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 2: you for that sin. Now, this is the five hundredth time. 392 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:18,400 Speaker 2: That's it, seventy times seven, four hundred and ninety year done. 393 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 2: That's all. No, this is the throne of grace, and 394 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,679 Speaker 2: he's the God of all grace, and grace is an 395 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:33,200 Speaker 2: inexhaustible supply. That's the throne that the Lord sits on 396 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,679 Speaker 2: for his children. And we can draw near with confidence 397 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 2: to that throne. Beyond amazing that I could come into 398 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:43,119 Speaker 2: the presence of God. The high priests only come in 399 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,440 Speaker 2: there one time of year. He came with fear, in trepidation, 400 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,120 Speaker 2: and he didn't stay long. And now there's no more veil. 401 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,159 Speaker 2: And the Lord says, come and come early, and come often, 402 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:53,399 Speaker 2: and come as long, and stay as long as you 403 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,160 Speaker 2: want in my presence and marinate and my presence. I'm 404 00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,040 Speaker 2: a God who loves you. I understand what you're going through. 405 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:03,760 Speaker 2: I care about you. I have mercy and grace to 406 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:07,720 Speaker 2: help you in your time of need. So let me 407 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 2: ask you this question.

If not, today is the day for you. 412 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:36,399 Speaker 2: Just pray this simple prayer.

Jesus, I believe that you are 415 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:47,080 Speaker 2: God in the flesh. I believe you died on the 416 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:50,200 Speaker 2: cross from my sins and rose again from the dead. 417 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,840 Speaker 2: And right now, Jesus, I surrender my life to you. 418 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,000 Speaker 2: Come into my heart, forgive me of all my sins, 419 00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:00,199 Speaker 2: make me the person you want me to be, and 420 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,720 Speaker 2: I make the commitment to follow you all the days 421 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,560 Speaker 2: of my life.
