WEBVTT 1 00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:13.910 it's thursday april 11 1996 2 00:00:13.920 --> 00:00:16.710 at the florida bible school this is 3 00:00:16.720 --> 00:00:18.870 class number four 4 00:00:18.880 --> 00:00:21.109 brother norm luff 5 00:00:21.119 --> 00:00:24.230 his title is the fifth gospel record 6 00:00:24.240 --> 00:00:28.630 he has wrought it brother norm 7 00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:30.470 thank you guard 8 00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:32.069 well good morning everybody hey good 9 00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:33.030 morning 10 00:00:33.040 --> 00:00:36.229 i missed that yesterday and i'm sorry 11 00:00:36.239 --> 00:00:37.510 well this morning we're going to take a 12 00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:38.790 look at 13 00:00:38.800 --> 00:00:40.709 psalm 22. 14 00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:42.869 it's a fascinating psalm to me and it 15 00:00:42.879 --> 00:00:48.869 reveals a lot about our master 16 00:00:48.879 --> 00:00:50.709 there are two places in it which i 17 00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:53.830 conclude are very accurately part of our 18 00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:55.510 master's life 19 00:00:55.520 --> 00:00:58.630 the first verse and the last verse 20 00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:00.389 both i believe 21 00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:03.189 are quoted by him on the cross 22 00:01:03.199 --> 00:01:04.149 as he 23 00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:07.030 hangs there in in pain 24 00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:09.670 the first verse my god my god y has to 25 00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:12.310 forsaken me is obviously there it's one 26 00:01:12.320 --> 00:01:14.149 of the first things he he opens his 27 00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:15.429 mouth to say 28 00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:17.910 and in verse 31 29 00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:21.190 he has rotted or it is finished as he 30 00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:22.149 said 31 00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:24.390 indicates that it's also something which 32 00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:26.870 he said 33 00:01:26.880 --> 00:01:28.710 i have a feeling and i can't really 34 00:01:28.720 --> 00:01:29.749 prove it to you because scripture 35 00:01:29.759 --> 00:01:31.350 doesn't say this 36 00:01:31.360 --> 00:01:33.350 that this whole psalm is one that he 37 00:01:33.360 --> 00:01:35.030 recited 38 00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:37.270 either to himself privately 39 00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:39.749 or vocally verbally to the group 40 00:01:39.759 --> 00:01:43.910 standing before him 41 00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:46.149 the opening question my god my god why 42 00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:48.310 hasta forsaken me is really a rhetorical 43 00:01:48.320 --> 00:01:50.069 question 44 00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:51.830 that's proven as we go through the psalm 45 00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:53.350 and i think we'll do this see this as we 46 00:01:53.360 --> 00:01:55.030 go through this morning 47 00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:57.590 that god is always with him 48 00:01:57.600 --> 00:02:01.830 that god has never left him alone 49 00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:03.590 the word messiah doesn't appear in this 50 00:02:03.600 --> 00:02:05.590 psalm 51 00:02:05.600 --> 00:02:06.389 yet 52 00:02:06.399 --> 00:02:08.869 in my view no other psalm well maybe 53 00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:10.389 there are others who speak eloquently 54 00:02:10.399 --> 00:02:12.070 but this one particularly 55 00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:14.790 speaks especially and specifically of 56 00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:16.949 our lord jesus christ and the events 57 00:02:16.959 --> 00:02:19.910 surrounding his his death 58 00:02:19.920 --> 00:02:21.589 so this morning then we're going to be 59 00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:25.350 moving into 60 00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:26.630 uh 61 00:02:26.640 --> 00:02:29.270 the good shepherd in his death 62 00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:31.509 and hopefully we'll take a look at how 63 00:02:31.519 --> 00:02:34.790 he has wrought it in class 4. 64 00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:36.710 let's begin by just taking a quick look 65 00:02:36.720 --> 00:02:37.430 at 66 00:02:37.440 --> 00:02:45.190 where we're going this morning 67 00:02:45.200 --> 00:02:54.229 sorry let me get the right one here 68 00:02:54.239 --> 00:02:55.910 one of the things i think we have to 69 00:02:55.920 --> 00:02:57.509 realize at least i'm trying to help us 70 00:02:57.519 --> 00:03:02.869 realize this morning thank you 71 00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:05.350 is that 72 00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:07.190 even though and this is the problem that 73 00:03:07.200 --> 00:03:08.949 i have and i guess all of us have had 74 00:03:08.959 --> 00:03:11.030 from time to time is looking at this 75 00:03:11.040 --> 00:03:11.910 psalm 76 00:03:11.920 --> 00:03:13.350 and saying 77 00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:15.430 how is it possible that david went 78 00:03:15.440 --> 00:03:18.550 through this process himself how is it 79 00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:20.390 possible that david could have possibly 80 00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:22.550 experienced the kind of anguish that the 81 00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:24.550 master himself endured 82 00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:25.589 both 83 00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:28.149 hanging on the cross and before in the 84 00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:29.990 beatings and the trials that he partook 85 00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:31.990 in 86 00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:33.030 well 87 00:03:33.040 --> 00:03:34.710 that's the beauty of inspiration isn't 88 00:03:34.720 --> 00:03:35.990 it 89 00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:38.390 that god provides david with a feeling 90 00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:40.789 and an understanding 91 00:03:40.799 --> 00:03:42.630 of what's to come for 92 00:03:42.640 --> 00:03:45.670 as he put it many generations and we see 93 00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:47.030 here 94 00:03:47.040 --> 00:03:49.270 i think it's phenomenal that god has 95 00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:51.670 given us 96 00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:53.509 through david a picture 97 00:03:53.519 --> 00:03:55.429 of what the lord was going to go through 98 00:03:55.439 --> 00:03:57.990 in his process of reaching salvation for 99 00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:00.949 us 100 00:04:00.959 --> 00:04:05.589 so we ask ourselves some questions then 101 00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:06.550 how 102 00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:09.429 did david know this 103 00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:11.350 was god really 104 00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:14.229 leaving the christ alone 105 00:04:14.239 --> 00:04:16.949 did he actually forsake him 106 00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:18.710 in the terms that we would understand 107 00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:20.949 forsaking that is leaving alone 108 00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:23.430 abandoning 109 00:04:23.440 --> 00:04:24.550 well 110 00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:26.469 what i would like to do with you 111 00:04:26.479 --> 00:04:28.629 initially is to take a look at verses 1 112 00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:30.310 to 21 113 00:04:30.320 --> 00:04:32.150 and just look at the prayer of this 114 00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:33.749 righteous sufferer 115 00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:35.990 and and walk it through with you and 116 00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:37.510 begin to realize 117 00:04:37.520 --> 00:04:40.710 that there are some very key 118 00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:42.710 concepts to be gained here in the 119 00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:44.710 master's way of life 120 00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:47.430 so having said that we'll begin 121 00:04:47.440 --> 00:04:49.749 taking a look at it 122 00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:51.430 perhaps the best way of doing this would 123 00:04:51.440 --> 00:04:54.310 be what i'm going to suggest we do now 124 00:04:54.320 --> 00:04:57.270 i pulled together a number of patches 125 00:04:57.280 --> 00:04:58.550 which i think 126 00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:00.629 illustrate 127 00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:03.270 that god has not abandoned the master 128 00:05:03.280 --> 00:05:05.510 himself 129 00:05:05.520 --> 00:05:08.310 we must realize i think 130 00:05:08.320 --> 00:05:09.350 that 131 00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:12.310 in the beginning this number one up here 132 00:05:12.320 --> 00:05:14.710 that the christ was there in god's 133 00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:15.909 purpose 134 00:05:15.919 --> 00:05:17.430 he was there 135 00:05:17.440 --> 00:05:20.870 from the foundation of the world 136 00:05:20.880 --> 00:05:22.950 he was the logos 137 00:05:22.960 --> 00:05:25.909 the word made flesh 138 00:05:25.919 --> 00:05:27.510 he was the one who 139 00:05:27.520 --> 00:05:29.590 when it says in genesis let us make 140 00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:31.749 manner image was the the pattern the 141 00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:34.550 ideal the focus 142 00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:36.310 through which many other sons would come 143 00:05:36.320 --> 00:05:39.029 to glory 144 00:05:39.039 --> 00:05:40.629 we cannot 145 00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:43.670 rule out that this man was there and to 146 00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:45.670 say at some point in our time that god 147 00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:48.310 abandoned this purpose is it seems to me 148 00:05:48.320 --> 00:05:50.550 incredulous 149 00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:52.310 the scriptures are full of messiah's 150 00:05:52.320 --> 00:05:53.830 work we only we've been through some of 151 00:05:53.840 --> 00:05:57.749 this already in other classes as well 152 00:05:57.759 --> 00:05:59.590 why would god put so much in scripture 153 00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:01.510 about the master and then to say walk 154 00:06:01.520 --> 00:06:03.510 away from him at the crucial point in 155 00:06:03.520 --> 00:06:07.270 his life 156 00:06:07.280 --> 00:06:09.510 jesus unique conception was god's 157 00:06:09.520 --> 00:06:11.670 involvement in his life 158 00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:13.990 i mean it was his spirit that came down 159 00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:17.110 and and made mary fertile and pregnant 160 00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:20.309 with the the gift of grace that we now 161 00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:23.110 have 162 00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:25.189 can you visualize that 163 00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:27.670 god would leave his angels 164 00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:30.230 let them sing his praise and then 165 00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:34.710 again walk away 166 00:06:34.720 --> 00:06:37.350 the father david says 167 00:06:37.360 --> 00:06:40.550 took care of him in the womb 168 00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:44.710 when that unborn substance grew 169 00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:46.390 until life 170 00:06:46.400 --> 00:06:51.029 was full to come forth 171 00:06:51.039 --> 00:06:53.189 that just can't visualize the father 172 00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:55.510 taking that much care 173 00:06:55.520 --> 00:06:57.189 and then 174 00:06:57.199 --> 00:07:00.150 walking away 175 00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:02.870 and and if jesus 176 00:07:02.880 --> 00:07:04.390 must have known this 177 00:07:04.400 --> 00:07:05.909 must have known that his father cared 178 00:07:05.919 --> 00:07:07.990 for him because he says i must be in my 179 00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:11.430 father's house it was imperative to him 180 00:07:11.440 --> 00:07:13.830 and the lord was always pleased with him 181 00:07:13.840 --> 00:07:15.510 there was nothing that he did that 182 00:07:15.520 --> 00:07:17.270 didn't please his father that's why he 183 00:07:17.280 --> 00:07:19.749 was the beloved son and he exhorted us 184 00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:22.790 did god listen to him 185 00:07:22.800 --> 00:07:24.629 it's important what he says he's saying 186 00:07:24.639 --> 00:07:26.950 things for me 187 00:07:26.960 --> 00:07:30.469 and in death number eight there 188 00:07:30.479 --> 00:07:33.990 he always pleased his father 189 00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:36.790 he's not the prodigal son is he 190 00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:38.710 he's that one who was there at home 191 00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:40.469 always pleasing not like the elder 192 00:07:40.479 --> 00:07:43.189 brother but always this this firstborn 193 00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:45.510 pleasing the father 194 00:07:45.520 --> 00:07:47.189 and in death 195 00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:48.950 in the very death he lived he pleased 196 00:07:48.960 --> 00:07:51.830 his father even more proved that he was 197 00:07:51.840 --> 00:07:53.749 the lamb slain from the foundation of 198 00:07:53.759 --> 00:07:54.790 the world 199 00:07:54.800 --> 00:07:56.950 that purpose is still there 200 00:07:56.960 --> 00:07:59.029 can god abandon his purpose 201 00:07:59.039 --> 00:08:00.550 god is the same yesterday today and 202 00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:02.550 forever he doesn't do anything without 203 00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:04.150 having a firm conviction that he'll 204 00:08:04.160 --> 00:08:06.150 follow through with he's not like man 205 00:08:06.160 --> 00:08:07.510 not like you and i who start on our 206 00:08:07.520 --> 00:08:08.710 project 207 00:08:08.720 --> 00:08:10.950 before we count the cost 208 00:08:10.960 --> 00:08:13.189 and then back away when we realized 209 00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:15.350 we're in over our head 210 00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:18.150 god knows and has planned for a long 211 00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:20.950 period of time 212 00:08:20.960 --> 00:08:22.790 and the resurrection that jesus went 213 00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:24.150 through was 214 00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:27.189 god's guarantee 215 00:08:27.199 --> 00:08:31.510 god's guarantee that he will be 216 00:08:31.520 --> 00:08:33.670 god to all of us 217 00:08:33.680 --> 00:08:35.829 god's guarantee that he was heard for 218 00:08:35.839 --> 00:08:39.750 his many prayers 219 00:08:39.760 --> 00:08:41.589 and this prayer that we now looked at 220 00:08:41.599 --> 00:08:48.870 this morning is one of those prayers 221 00:08:48.880 --> 00:08:51.269 he who died for us 222 00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:52.790 has been exalted 223 00:08:52.800 --> 00:08:54.710 given a name which is above every name 224 00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:58.470 that the name of jesus should bow 225 00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:00.150 jesus is exalted 226 00:09:00.160 --> 00:09:01.670 his obedience 227 00:09:01.680 --> 00:09:06.389 is a lesson for us 228 00:09:06.399 --> 00:09:09.350 forsaken no not to my way thinking 229 00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:12.389 anyways i share it with you 230 00:09:12.399 --> 00:09:14.790 and if you go back to the genesis record 231 00:09:14.800 --> 00:09:16.630 where abraham and isaac worked out this 232 00:09:16.640 --> 00:09:18.070 scenario 233 00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:20.230 worked out the situation 234 00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:23.829 the parable of god and christ 235 00:09:23.839 --> 00:09:25.509 god will provide himself a lamb and 236 00:09:25.519 --> 00:09:27.670 there was that lamb entangled 237 00:09:27.680 --> 00:09:28.790 so backed 238 00:09:28.800 --> 00:09:31.509 in the thorns in the bush 239 00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:34.070 and jesus is saying in one case why hast 240 00:09:34.080 --> 00:09:36.150 thou entangled me why hast thou so 241 00:09:36.160 --> 00:09:42.470 backed me 242 00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:43.590 so 243 00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:46.150 what does it mean then why hast thou 244 00:09:46.160 --> 00:09:50.470 forsaken me 245 00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:52.870 well as we go through this song 246 00:09:52.880 --> 00:09:55.030 we're going to see events that are so 247 00:09:55.040 --> 00:09:58.310 real in their their fulfillment 248 00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:01.509 that you have to wonder 249 00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:05.110 why did david write them 250 00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:07.829 god seems to have transported him 251 00:10:07.839 --> 00:10:11.350 moved him through the ages 252 00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:13.430 and put him in place standing at the 253 00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:16.069 foot of the cross and listening 254 00:10:16.079 --> 00:10:18.710 and he allows us to go there 255 00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:21.269 who live centuries later 256 00:10:21.279 --> 00:10:23.030 it's like what happened to paul when he 257 00:10:23.040 --> 00:10:25.350 was transported to 258 00:10:25.360 --> 00:10:27.990 the third heaven caught up 259 00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:31.430 and he saw things not lawful to to tell 260 00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:34.230 and here david is allowed to tell 261 00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:38.470 it's it's amazing to me 262 00:10:38.480 --> 00:10:40.230 there's a passage in peter 263 00:10:40.240 --> 00:10:41.590 would you like to turn to it with me 264 00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:45.030 first peter 265 00:10:45.040 --> 00:10:48.630 and i asked myself 266 00:10:48.640 --> 00:10:51.110 norm 267 00:10:51.120 --> 00:10:53.269 did david understand what was going on 268 00:10:53.279 --> 00:10:57.350 here 269 00:10:57.360 --> 00:10:59.590 well 270 00:10:59.600 --> 00:11:02.949 maybe not fully 271 00:11:02.959 --> 00:11:05.190 because he did do something you notice 272 00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:07.430 what peter says about the prophets in 273 00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:12.630 verse 10 of chapter 1 of first peter 274 00:11:12.640 --> 00:11:16.230 the prophets who prophesied of the grace 275 00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:18.150 of the christ 276 00:11:18.160 --> 00:11:20.470 that was to be yours 277 00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:22.470 certainly cried about this salvation 278 00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:24.550 this christ 279 00:11:24.560 --> 00:11:26.630 they inquired what person or time was 280 00:11:26.640 --> 00:11:28.150 indicated by the spirit of christ within 281 00:11:28.160 --> 00:11:29.590 them when they predicted the sufferings 282 00:11:29.600 --> 00:11:30.710 of christ 283 00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:34.790 and the subsequent glory 284 00:11:34.800 --> 00:11:36.949 they wrestled with the same scriptures 285 00:11:36.959 --> 00:11:38.470 we wrestled with 286 00:11:38.480 --> 00:11:39.910 even though they were prophets speaking 287 00:11:39.920 --> 00:11:42.710 for god 288 00:11:42.720 --> 00:11:44.550 and i'm sure david must have wrestled 289 00:11:44.560 --> 00:11:45.509 with this 290 00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:48.069 what is going on how could it be that 291 00:11:48.079 --> 00:11:50.230 that the son is going to be the king of 292 00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:52.150 israel and the messiah 293 00:11:52.160 --> 00:11:54.389 is going to die 294 00:11:54.399 --> 00:11:55.829 but we've already looked at haven't we 295 00:11:55.839 --> 00:11:57.670 the fact that he understood that the 296 00:11:57.680 --> 00:11:59.829 lamb of god was there slain from the 297 00:11:59.839 --> 00:12:02.949 foundation we we know he understood 298 00:12:02.959 --> 00:12:06.470 isaiah isaac and er and abraham's 299 00:12:06.480 --> 00:12:09.030 working out of the parable 300 00:12:09.040 --> 00:12:12.870 we know he understood that genesis 3 15 301 00:12:12.880 --> 00:12:14.870 that the see the woman would 302 00:12:14.880 --> 00:12:21.829 slay the dragon the great power of evil 303 00:12:21.839 --> 00:12:25.350 well the grace that comes to us 304 00:12:25.360 --> 00:12:28.230 comes because of great deprivation 305 00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:32.550 deprivation and the suffering of jesus 306 00:12:32.560 --> 00:12:34.389 and i'm sure that all the prophets 307 00:12:34.399 --> 00:12:35.670 wrestled with 308 00:12:35.680 --> 00:12:39.509 how could this thing happen to the man 309 00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:42.310 who would be perfect 310 00:12:42.320 --> 00:12:44.790 who in whom there is no sin no guile is 311 00:12:44.800 --> 00:12:50.069 found on his lips 312 00:12:50.079 --> 00:12:51.509 it tells me 313 00:12:51.519 --> 00:12:53.990 does this kind of inquiry in my mind 314 00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:55.750 anyways 315 00:12:55.760 --> 00:12:59.030 what david must have understood when god 316 00:12:59.040 --> 00:13:01.430 revealed to him 317 00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:03.350 his generations 318 00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:05.829 for many generations for future 319 00:13:05.839 --> 00:13:10.629 generations in 2nd samuel 7. 320 00:13:10.639 --> 00:13:12.870 what we have in second samuel 7 i think 321 00:13:12.880 --> 00:13:14.949 then 322 00:13:14.959 --> 00:13:17.110 is a clue 323 00:13:17.120 --> 00:13:19.030 that other information is yet to come 324 00:13:19.040 --> 00:13:22.389 from david thou has shown he says 325 00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:24.949 david also of thy servants house for a 326 00:13:24.959 --> 00:13:26.870 great while to come and has shown me 327 00:13:26.880 --> 00:13:29.190 future generations and today we'll see 328 00:13:29.200 --> 00:13:31.350 how many future generations well maybe 329 00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:33.110 we'll not count them but we'll see them 330 00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:38.310 in the long-range point of view 331 00:13:38.320 --> 00:13:40.949 jesus was to make it very clear 332 00:13:40.959 --> 00:13:42.870 that everything written in the prophets 333 00:13:42.880 --> 00:13:44.550 and law 334 00:13:44.560 --> 00:13:47.910 and the psalms must be fulfilled 335 00:13:47.920 --> 00:13:50.150 thus it is written he says the christ 336 00:13:50.160 --> 00:13:51.030 should 337 00:13:51.040 --> 00:13:53.030 suffer on and on the third day rise no 338 00:13:53.040 --> 00:13:54.790 dead that repentance and forgiveness of 339 00:13:54.800 --> 00:13:57.350 sin shall be preached in his name to all 340 00:13:57.360 --> 00:13:58.550 nations 341 00:13:58.560 --> 00:14:01.189 beginning in jerusalem 342 00:14:01.199 --> 00:14:03.110 to all nations 343 00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:05.350 the same nations that abraham was told 344 00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:07.829 about a multitude of nations that host 345 00:14:07.839 --> 00:14:14.150 of people 346 00:14:14.160 --> 00:14:16.790 the divine mind 347 00:14:16.800 --> 00:14:19.030 has helped us immensely i think in 348 00:14:19.040 --> 00:14:21.030 revealing to us 349 00:14:21.040 --> 00:14:24.550 what was going on 350 00:14:24.560 --> 00:14:26.230 it was written a four time for our 351 00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:28.470 learning 352 00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:31.269 so psalm 22 is a masterful piece of work 353 00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:36.790 that we can help us understand 354 00:14:36.800 --> 00:14:37.590 well 355 00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:38.949 i guess the question needs to be 356 00:14:38.959 --> 00:14:41.350 answered otherwise partially answered it 357 00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:43.990 did god leave jesus alone did he forsake 358 00:14:44.000 --> 00:14:44.710 him 359 00:14:44.720 --> 00:14:48.629 at a crucial point in his life 360 00:14:48.639 --> 00:14:50.470 well it's true at least i think it's 361 00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:52.150 true 362 00:14:52.160 --> 00:14:53.910 that at that point 363 00:14:53.920 --> 00:14:55.990 jesus was doing something that only a 364 00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:58.790 man could do 365 00:14:58.800 --> 00:15:01.910 god could not die would not die 366 00:15:01.920 --> 00:15:03.509 man had to die on the cross to 367 00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:04.949 demonstrate 368 00:15:04.959 --> 00:15:07.670 that sin is repugnant and must be killed 369 00:15:07.680 --> 00:15:10.870 that flesh must die 370 00:15:10.880 --> 00:15:13.990 that had to be done by a man and a man 371 00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:16.150 alone 372 00:15:16.160 --> 00:15:18.230 god could not be 373 00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:21.990 his own lamb 374 00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:24.710 nevertheless jesus was saying 375 00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:25.990 in the garden 376 00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:29.749 thy will be done not mine 377 00:15:29.759 --> 00:15:31.910 but to suggest that god had abandoned 378 00:15:31.920 --> 00:15:33.590 his son 379 00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:35.910 is not to understand the scripture or 380 00:15:35.920 --> 00:15:41.030 the dynamics of their relationship 381 00:15:41.040 --> 00:15:42.870 and so i believe the question is a 382 00:15:42.880 --> 00:15:45.110 rhetorical one as i've already suggested 383 00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:51.829 to you 384 00:15:51.839 --> 00:15:54.389 when we go through this psalm then we 385 00:15:54.399 --> 00:15:56.790 begin to appreciate the magnitude of 386 00:15:56.800 --> 00:15:58.230 god's love 387 00:15:58.240 --> 00:15:59.590 for us 388 00:15:59.600 --> 00:16:02.629 and for his son 389 00:16:02.639 --> 00:16:03.990 this psalm also 390 00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:06.389 reveals messiah's faith as i hope we'll 391 00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:08.949 see 392 00:16:08.959 --> 00:16:11.189 and in it we somehow have to grapple 393 00:16:11.199 --> 00:16:12.389 with 394 00:16:12.399 --> 00:16:15.350 in our own minds 395 00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:17.829 the torment that he must have gone 396 00:16:17.839 --> 00:16:20.470 through in the process of reaching 397 00:16:20.480 --> 00:16:37.670 that conviction thy will be done 398 00:16:37.680 --> 00:16:39.749 just partly a moment will i get 399 00:16:39.759 --> 00:16:42.230 some of these overheads in order 400 00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:43.030 that 401 00:16:43.040 --> 00:16:46.150 took a little slide there 402 00:16:46.160 --> 00:16:50.550 okay 403 00:16:50.560 --> 00:16:53.749 well why was jesus entangled 404 00:16:53.759 --> 00:16:56.069 why was he there 405 00:16:56.079 --> 00:16:57.189 pinned 406 00:16:57.199 --> 00:17:00.790 caught on the cross 407 00:17:00.800 --> 00:17:02.949 well surely we know the reason don't we 408 00:17:02.959 --> 00:17:04.789 we of all people must know the reason 409 00:17:04.799 --> 00:17:07.429 those of us who have been called chosen 410 00:17:07.439 --> 00:17:09.429 lifted exalted 411 00:17:09.439 --> 00:17:12.230 out of darkness into light 412 00:17:12.240 --> 00:17:15.270 well these scriptures i think are clear 413 00:17:15.280 --> 00:17:17.669 for our sake he made him sin 414 00:17:17.679 --> 00:17:19.829 to who knew no sin 415 00:17:19.839 --> 00:17:22.710 so that in him we might become 416 00:17:22.720 --> 00:17:26.069 the righteousness of god we 417 00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:28.870 yes we 418 00:17:28.880 --> 00:17:31.430 and another scripture that is very clear 419 00:17:31.440 --> 00:17:35.909 in this same way 420 00:17:35.919 --> 00:17:39.029 for god has done what the law 421 00:17:39.039 --> 00:17:43.029 could not do 422 00:17:43.039 --> 00:17:45.029 sending his own son in the likeness of 423 00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:47.430 sinful flesh in order that the just 424 00:17:47.440 --> 00:17:48.870 requirements of the law might be 425 00:17:48.880 --> 00:17:51.270 fulfilled in us who walk not according 426 00:17:51.280 --> 00:17:52.470 to the flesh 427 00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:55.270 but according to the spirit 428 00:17:55.280 --> 00:17:56.870 that's why 429 00:17:56.880 --> 00:17:59.029 that we might walk 430 00:17:59.039 --> 00:18:02.549 not by this flesh 431 00:18:02.559 --> 00:18:05.350 but by the spirit of god which 432 00:18:05.360 --> 00:18:07.750 should dwell within us 433 00:18:07.760 --> 00:18:10.150 in a small measure 434 00:18:10.160 --> 00:18:13.350 so that we have a newness of mind 435 00:18:13.360 --> 00:18:14.870 and ultimately 436 00:18:14.880 --> 00:18:16.710 this corruptable must put on 437 00:18:16.720 --> 00:18:19.110 incorruption 438 00:18:19.120 --> 00:18:20.789 well that's not the only passage which i 439 00:18:20.799 --> 00:18:22.870 think are helpful in understanding why 440 00:18:22.880 --> 00:18:25.190 christ allowed him to be 441 00:18:25.200 --> 00:18:27.750 entangled 442 00:18:27.760 --> 00:18:29.110 again i've got to find that thing that 443 00:18:29.120 --> 00:18:34.630 went slippery on me 444 00:18:34.640 --> 00:18:35.909 okay 445 00:18:35.919 --> 00:18:39.029 you know that one 446 00:18:39.039 --> 00:18:40.549 and you say well why are we looking at 447 00:18:40.559 --> 00:18:42.310 them well it's helpful to remind 448 00:18:42.320 --> 00:18:45.990 ourselves we need reminding all the time 449 00:18:46.000 --> 00:18:48.150 since therefore the children share in 450 00:18:48.160 --> 00:18:49.430 flesh and blood 451 00:18:49.440 --> 00:18:52.230 he himself jesus himself likewise part 452 00:18:52.240 --> 00:18:53.909 took of the same nature 453 00:18:53.919 --> 00:18:55.909 that through death he might destroy him 454 00:18:55.919 --> 00:18:57.669 who has the power of death 455 00:18:57.679 --> 00:19:00.070 that was god's will he was doing 456 00:19:00.080 --> 00:19:01.669 thy will be done 457 00:19:01.679 --> 00:19:03.510 not mine 458 00:19:03.520 --> 00:19:04.549 that is 459 00:19:04.559 --> 00:19:07.190 destroy the devil and deliver all those 460 00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:09.350 who through fear of death were subject 461 00:19:09.360 --> 00:19:14.070 to life long bondage 462 00:19:14.080 --> 00:19:16.150 the manifestation then 463 00:19:16.160 --> 00:19:18.230 of god's righteousness 464 00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:21.029 is of paramount importance 465 00:19:21.039 --> 00:19:24.710 jesus knew it we must know it jesus is 466 00:19:24.720 --> 00:19:26.630 willing to die in agonizing death that 467 00:19:26.640 --> 00:19:28.789 it might be so and might be apparent 468 00:19:28.799 --> 00:19:33.909 very clear to us 469 00:19:33.919 --> 00:19:35.270 in verse 2 470 00:19:35.280 --> 00:19:37.029 we have 471 00:19:37.039 --> 00:19:39.990 the prayer 472 00:19:40.000 --> 00:19:42.310 which talks about the kind of prayer we 473 00:19:42.320 --> 00:19:44.230 should offer 474 00:19:44.240 --> 00:19:48.150 oh my god i cry by day 475 00:19:48.160 --> 00:19:50.230 but thou dost not answer 476 00:19:50.240 --> 00:19:53.590 and by night but find no rest 477 00:19:53.600 --> 00:19:55.270 and we know don't we 478 00:19:55.280 --> 00:19:57.270 that prayer was a constant vigil with 479 00:19:57.280 --> 00:19:58.310 him 480 00:19:58.320 --> 00:20:01.110 at night time on the mountains 481 00:20:01.120 --> 00:20:03.510 in private prayer 482 00:20:03.520 --> 00:20:04.830 but god doesn't 483 00:20:04.840 --> 00:20:08.470 answer at least not yet 484 00:20:08.480 --> 00:20:11.750 there are times when god waits before he 485 00:20:11.760 --> 00:20:13.190 answers prayer 486 00:20:13.200 --> 00:20:14.149 until 487 00:20:14.159 --> 00:20:17.029 at the right time jesus would come 488 00:20:17.039 --> 00:20:18.950 it was the right time when god answered 489 00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:20.630 this prayer and we'll talk a bit more 490 00:20:20.640 --> 00:20:23.110 about god's answer to jesus prayer 491 00:20:23.120 --> 00:20:25.830 tomorrow when we look at 492 00:20:25.840

--> 00:21:10.870 the father 507 00:21:10.880 --> 00:21:12.390 and because of that they were counted 508 00:21:12.400 --> 00:21:14.070 righteous he'd read scripture too he 509 00:21:14.080 -->

they're fulfilling scripture right 597 00:24:54.320 --> 00:24:56.390 in front of him as he 598 00:24:56.400 --> 00:25:04.630 vocalizes this psalm 599 00:25:04.640 --> 00:25:08.549 he was despised and

606 00:25:22.480 --> 00:25:24.950 unexpected behavior by the messiah who 607 00:25:24.960 --> 00:25:27.909 was to to redeem israel to get rid of 608 00:25:27.919 --> 00:25:30.549 the romans and let

transgressors 612 00:25:40.240 --> 00:25:41.990 very clearly it was not just his enemies 613 00:25:42.000 --> 00:25:44.310 who thought him a reproach his friends 614 00:25:44.320 --> 00:25:46.390 we

that shame 621 00:26:04.320 --> 00:26:09.190 and be seated at the right hand of god 622 00:26:09.200 --> 00:26:11.830 the priests and the scribes 623 00:26:11.840 --> 00:26:14.230 in their vehemence

cast himself 657 00:27:41.360 --> 00:27:42.789 since my mother 658 00:27:42.799 --> 00:27:44.230 since my mother 659 00:27:44.240 --> 00:27:45.590 bore me 660 00:27:45.600 --> 00:27:48.789 even from birth thou art my how many of 661 00:27:48.799 --> 00:27:50.870 us can say that oh maybe from our 662 00:27:50.880 --> 00:27:52.630 baptism we might say that 663 00:27:52.640 --> 00:27:55.269 but jesus is talking 664 00:27:55.279 --> 00:27:57.269 is he talking only about his natural 665 00:27:57.279 --> 00:27:58.710 birth or he talking about that when he 666 00:27:58.720 --> 00:28:00.230 came up with the water and the spirit of 667 00:28:00.240 --> 00:28:02.710 god descended upon him like a dove 668 00:28:02.720 --> 00:28:05.269 and then god was his power his strength 669 00:28:05.279 --> 00:28:10.230 his source of energy 670 00:28:10.240 --> 00:28:13.110 be not far from me 671 00:28:13.120 --> 00:28:15.269 for trouble is near 672 00:28:15.279 --> 00:28:17.029 and there's none to help all have 673 00:28:17.039 --> 00:28:18.389 forsaken me 674 00:28:18.399 --> 00:28:20.950 you're my only source of strength and we 675 00:28:20.960 --> 00:28:22.789 must realize that too no matter what 676 00:28:22.799 --> 00:28:25.029 else happens 677 00:28:25.039 --> 00:28:27.430 only god is the source of strength who 678 00:28:27.440 --> 00:28:30.470 can deliver us raise us up make us stand 679 00:28:30.480 --> 00:28:33.190 anew in that day and age when 680 00:28:33.200 --> 00:28:38.310 god will be all in and all 681 00:28:38.320 --> 00:28:40.950 look at the phraseology of verses 12 and 682 00:28:40.960 --> 00:28:50.950 13. 683 00:28:50.960 --> 00:28:52.870 there's some imagery in the songs which 684 00:28:52.880 --> 00:28:54.549 are 685 00:28:54.559 --> 00:28:58.149 quite fantastic to me 686 00:28:58.159 --> 00:29:02.470 here we have 687 00:29:02.480 --> 00:29:03.590 all the 688 00:29:03.600 --> 00:29:05.510 emphasis of the 689 00:29:05.520 --> 00:29:07.590 people who are coming there 690 00:29:07.600 --> 00:29:09.350 these are some of the players that are 691 00:29:09.360 --> 00:29:12.070 involved in going on 692 00:29:12.080 --> 00:29:14.470 the lions those people who tear at the 693 00:29:14.480 --> 00:29:16.710 flesh of jesus and i wondered if those 694 00:29:16.720 --> 00:29:19.269 lions 695 00:29:19.279 --> 00:29:22.070 although they are listed as as perhaps 696 00:29:22.080 --> 00:29:23.430 jews 697 00:29:23.440 --> 00:29:24.830 the 698 00:29:24.840 --> 00:29:28.630 lions at flesh 699 00:29:28.640 --> 00:29:30.710 and when the jews handed christ over to 700 00:29:30.720 --> 00:29:32.470 the romans the romans 701 00:29:32.480 --> 00:29:35.350 took 702 00:29:35.360 --> 00:29:38.630 and cast him or beat him 703 00:29:38.640 --> 00:29:40.710 with the lash 704 00:29:40.720 --> 00:29:43.510 and ripped his flesh to pieces listen to 705 00:29:43.520 --> 00:29:46.149 the the description of of the how the 706 00:29:46.159 --> 00:29:48.789 roman lash worked 707 00:29:48.799 --> 00:29:51.510 the roman lash was often multi-thonged 708 00:29:51.520 --> 00:29:53.909 and inserted with pieces of lead brass 709 00:29:53.919 --> 00:29:55.590 and pointed bones 710 00:29:55.600 --> 00:29:57.909 so that when wielded with force it tore 711 00:29:57.919 --> 00:29:59.990 away large chunks of flesh 712 00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:05.190 exposing veins inner muscles and sinews 713 00:30:05.200 --> 00:30:07.029 many a person didn't survive that kind 714 00:30:07.039 --> 00:30:09.269 of trauma 715 00:30:09.279 --> 00:30:11.990 many died from loss of blood 716 00:30:12.000 --> 00:30:13.510 and just from the trauma of that 717 00:30:13.520 --> 00:30:21.269 situation alone 718 00:30:21.279 --> 00:30:23.190 so these verses then 719 00:30:23.200 --> 00:30:24.710 start to reveal the 720 00:30:24.720 --> 00:30:26.310 full anguish 721 00:30:26.320 --> 00:30:27.590 of what on 722 00:30:27.600 --> 00:30:30.789 and the bulls of basian 723 00:30:30.799 --> 00:30:32.549 they're the 724 00:30:32.559 --> 00:30:36.149 wild ones in israel 725 00:30:36.159 --> 00:30:38.630 the cows basin was a term yamus used to 726 00:30:38.640 --> 00:30:40.630 describe the female 727 00:30:40.640 --> 00:30:43.830 wives of the leaders of of israel 728 00:30:43.840 --> 00:30:47.669 as they crushed and beat and despised 729 00:30:47.679 --> 00:30:49.830 and abused their position against the 730 00:30:49.840 --> 00:30:51.990 poor and needy 731 00:30:52.000 --> 00:30:54.230 the bulls of basian is likewise applied 732 00:30:54.240 --> 00:30:57.590 to those fat well-fed pampered powerful 733 00:30:57.600 --> 00:30:59.509 leaders of the people whom the chief 734 00:30:59.519 --> 00:31:04.149 priests and the elders 735 00:31:04.159 --> 00:31:05.909 were 736 00:31:05.919 --> 00:31:07.830 they abused their position and took 737 00:31:07.840 --> 00:31:10.149 widows houses 738 00:31:10.159 --> 00:31:12.950 took the the mites from the poor and the 739 00:31:12.960 --> 00:31:14.789 widows 740 00:31:14.799 --> 00:31:16.710 they oppressed 741 00:31:16.720 --> 00:31:19.269 the poor needy 742 00:31:19.279 --> 00:31:20.389 and 743 00:31:20.399 --> 00:31:22.710 crushed or at least tried to crush 744 00:31:22.720 --> 00:31:28.310 totally our master 745 00:31:28.320 --> 00:31:30.870 the dogs 746 00:31:30.880 --> 00:31:35.110 the dogs of israel were ones who 747 00:31:35.120 --> 00:31:38.149 needed to be corrected and guided 748 00:31:38.159 --> 00:31:39.909 the wild dogs that used to infiltrate 749 00:31:39.919 --> 00:31:42.950 the cities in those days at night 750 00:31:42.960 --> 00:31:44.870 to clean up all the mess left by the 751 00:31:44.880 --> 00:31:47.269 people 752 00:31:47.279 --> 00:31:50.389 that's what kind of people the jews were 753 00:31:50.399 --> 00:31:52.230 trying to clean up what they regarded as 754 00:31:52.240 --> 00:31:57.110 the mess left by jesus 755 00:31:57.120 --> 00:31:59.190 they will take our place and our nation 756 00:31:59.200 --> 00:32:01.190 they said 757 00:32:01.200 --> 00:32:06.870 and they sought ways to destroy him 758 00:32:06.880 --> 00:32:10.149 what a sad commentary 759 00:32:10.159 --> 00:32:14.789 for what they didn't realize 760 00:32:14.799 --> 00:32:21.269 was that someone else was there 761 00:32:21.279 --> 00:32:23.190 someone else was watching the events 762 00:32:23.200 --> 00:32:26.950 that were going on on the earth 763 00:32:26.960 --> 00:32:32.310 the lord god almighty was there 764 00:32:32.320 --> 00:32:35.509 and there were believers there 765 00:32:35.519 --> 00:32:40.310 surely this man was the son of god 766 00:32:40.320 --> 00:32:41.909 one of those individuals who we would 767 00:32:41.919 --> 00:32:43.669 not suspect to make that kind of 768 00:32:43.679 --> 00:32:45.110 statement 769 00:32:45.120 --> 00:32:47.029 realize that because of the kind of 770 00:32:47.039 --> 00:32:48.870 death that jesus went through the kind 771 00:32:48.880 --> 00:32:50.230 of 772 00:32:50.240 --> 00:32:53.350 peacefulness of which he died 773 00:32:53.360 --> 00:32:55.590 yielding up his spirit in quiet 774 00:32:55.600 --> 00:32:58.870 submission obedience to his father 775 00:32:58.880 --> 00:33:00.710 this man realized 776 00:33:00.720 --> 00:33:03.350 this was no normal mortal 777 00:33:03.360 --> 00:33:05.750 this was a strong man 778 00:33:05.760 --> 00:33:13.269 who trusted in god himself 779 00:33:13.279 --> 00:33:17.509 we don't realize i don't think all of us 780 00:33:17.519 --> 00:33:22.230 what the master went through 781 00:33:22.240 --> 00:33:23.990 i don't know how you visualize the 782 00:33:24.000 --> 00:33:28.950 crucifixion in your own mind 783 00:33:28.960 --> 00:33:31.350 but i see in my mind the roman soldiers 784 00:33:31.360 --> 00:33:35.029 taking that stake laying on the ground 785 00:33:35.039 --> 00:33:36.710 playing jesus on top of it and then 786 00:33:36.720 --> 00:33:38.710 pinning his hands and his feet to that 787 00:33:38.720 --> 00:33:41.110 stake 788 00:33:41.120 --> 00:33:43.190 with rusty old nails that have hung 789 00:33:43.200 --> 00:33:44.870 others there as well 790 00:33:44.880 --> 00:33:48.549 they've been laying around the ground 791 00:33:48.559 --> 00:33:50.950 and taking that stick lifting up and 792 00:33:50.960 --> 00:33:53.430 letting it drop into the hole 793 00:33:53.440 --> 00:33:55.430 jarring the body 794 00:33:55.440 --> 00:33:58.549 pain 795 00:33:58.559 --> 00:34:00.149 and then 796 00:34:00.159 --> 00:34:02.630 standing back 797 00:34:02.640 --> 00:34:04.389 and mocking 798 00:34:04.399 --> 00:34:10.069 poking fun at 799 00:34:10.079 --> 00:34:11.270 the thorns 800 00:34:11.280 --> 00:34:13.270 still left their mark there 801 00:34:13.280 --> 00:34:15.430 they had support of him before 802 00:34:15.440 --> 00:34:17.510 and now the sport continues 803 00:34:17.520 --> 00:34:19.589 this was fun for them 804 00:34:19.599 --> 00:34:21.669 this is getting at i don't think you've 805 00:34:21.679 --> 00:34:22.389 ever 806 00:34:22.399 --> 00:34:24.470 watched a group of chickens sometimes 807 00:34:24.480 --> 00:34:26.790 one has a defect in it 808 00:34:26.800 --> 00:34:28.389 the chickens will go over and pick that 809 00:34:28.399 --> 00:34:31.030 one until it dies 810 00:34:31.040 --> 00:34:33.270 and these irrational animals were that 811 00:34:33.280 --> 00:34:34.550 kind of people 812 00:34:34.560 --> 00:34:37.990 picking it christ until 813 00:34:38.000 --> 00:34:39.990 death came to him 814 00:34:40.000 --> 00:34:43.829 it was entertainment for them it was fun 815 00:34:43.839 --> 00:34:47.669 no fun for christ 816 00:34:47.679 --> 00:34:49.430 it was torment 817 00:34:49.440 --> 00:34:51.510 torture 818 00:34:51.520 --> 00:34:55.669 grief was in his soul 819 00:34:55.679 --> 00:35:00.870 how does a man survive that 820 00:35:00.880 --> 00:35:04.230 by the strength of the almighty 821 00:35:04.240 --> 00:35:07.349 he knew god was there watching 822 00:35:07.359 --> 00:35:13.430 waiting 823 00:35:13.440 --> 00:35:16.630 if the psalm was to stop there 824 00:35:16.640 --> 00:35:18.470 we might think that 825 00:35:18.480 --> 00:35:21.109 it was all over 826 00:35:21.119 --> 00:35:24.550 but notice what christ goes on to say 827 00:35:24.560 --> 00:35:26.470 i believe christ is saying this i share 828 00:35:26.480 --> 00:35:28.310 it with you 829 00:35:28.320 --> 00:35:31.109 i am poured out like water 830 00:35:31.119 --> 00:35:33.109 all my bones of water

mouth and so john 834 00:35:39.119 --> 00:35:42.790 19 verse 28 talks about that 835 00:35:42.800 --> 00:35:45.109 though just lay me in the dust of death 836 00:35:45.119 --> 00:35:46.710 and so he

00:39:07.589 coming out of the grave 916 00:39:07.599 --> 00:39:09.030 he spent some 917 00:39:09.040 --> 00:39:11.990 almost 50 days with his disciples 918 00:39:12.000 --> 00:39:13.910 giving them tremendous bible classes 919 00:39:13.920 --> 00:39:14.790 about 920 00:39:14.800 --> 00:39:17.030 what had happened 921 00:39:17.040 --> 00:39:18.870 and it rejuvenated them brought them to 922 00:39:18.880 --> 00:39:21.109 life 923 00:39:21.119 --> 00:39:24.069 they too became born again 924 00:39:24.079 --> 00:39:26.950 as they began to go from jerusalem to 925 00:39:26.960 --> 00:39:28.390 judea to samaria 926 00:39:28.400 --> 00:39:30.230 and to the other most parts of the world 927 00:39:30.240 --> 00:39:31.349 world 928 00:39:31.359 --> 00:39:32.790 in the midst of the congregation i will 929 00:39:32.800 --> 00:39:34.150 praise thee 930 00:39:34.160 --> 00:39:36.230 standing alive he was able to say to 931 00:39:36.240 --> 00:39:38.950 peter and john and james and

him you seed 942 00:40:00.720 --> 00:40:04.069 you sons of israel 943 00:40:04.079 --> 00:40:06.470 for he has not 944 00:40:06.480 --> 00:40:09.270 despised or abhorred 945 00:40:09.280 --> 00:40:12.230 the affliction of the afflicted 946 00:40:12.240 --> 00:40:13.829 there's christ saying 947 00:40:13.839 --> 00:40:15.910 he didn't leave me alone 948 00:40:15.920 --> 00:40:17.589 he

--> 00:40:44.470 because christ was doing his will 959 00:40:44.480 --> 00:40:47.109 he was the lamb of god no one else could 960 00:40:47.119 --> 00:40:49.910 do that not even god could do what jesus 961 00:40:49.920 --> 00:40:52.790 was doing 962 00:40:52.800 --> 00:40:56.069 and from thee verse 25 comes my praise 963 00:40:56.079 --> 00:40:59.430 in the great congregation 964 00:40:59.440 -->
