1 00:00:30,740 --> 00:00:32,660 I am time conscious, as you know. 2 00:00:33,940 --> 00:00:34,580 Amen. 3 00:00:35,060 --> 00:00:36,260 I'm time sensitive. 4 00:00:37,140 --> 00:00:41,980 I watch the clock and the clock watches me because there's 5 00:00:41,980 --> 00:00:42,820 never enough time. 6 00:00:43,380 --> 00:00:44,420 This is quite a book. 7 00:00:44,420 --> 00:00:44,980 Amen. 8 00:00:45,300 --> 00:00:47,020 And we just heard we have quite a savior. 9 00:00:47,020 --> 00:00:48,020 That was a great song. 10 00:00:48,260 --> 00:00:51,460 And sometimes it's how you sing the song too. 11 00:00:51,460 --> 00:00:53,660 They came up and asked me if my mic was on. 12 00:00:53,660 --> 00:00:56,310 I thought they'd come up to record me while I was singing the 13 00:00:56,310 --> 00:00:56,990 congregation. 14 00:00:57,310 --> 00:00:58,750 And I don't guess that's what it was. 15 00:00:58,750 --> 00:01:02,190 But anyway, great song and it's good to be with you. 16 00:01:02,270 --> 00:01:04,070 I've entitled the message this morning. 17 00:01:04,070 --> 00:01:07,750 What time is it in your heart now? 18 00:01:07,750 --> 00:01:09,110 I'm going to get to that toward the end. 19 00:01:09,110 --> 00:01:14,190 This is one of those Victorian porches, Victorian mansion sermons. 20 00:01:14,190 --> 00:01:17,310 We spend a lot of time on the porch and we go inside the house 21 00:01:17,310 --> 00:01:18,710 for just a few minutes at the end. 22 00:01:18,710 --> 00:01:20,990 Okay, so Second Peter, chapter one. 23 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:22,960 Second Peter, chapter one. 24 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,400 All the way back, almost toward the end of your Bible. 25 00:01:26,960 --> 00:01:29,680 I'm so glad that we have some of the writings of Peter. 26 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:31,360 He is so colorful. 27 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:32,640 I've told you all several times. 28 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,680 He's that pop up card that you get Christmas time or your birthday. 29 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,280 You get a card and you open it up and it pops up. 30 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,280 They spent more money on it and you open it up and it opens up 31 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:43,120 and it pops up. 32 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,440 When Peter's mentioned the Bible, especially in the gospels, 33 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,240 it's like he pops up off the page. 34 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:50,120 And so he's always exciting. 35 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,560 And I'm glad we got this set of epistles by him. 36 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:58,200 And I like first and Second Peter accordingly. 37 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:03,160 And we go to see him at a very important part of his life. 38 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,440 He's just about to be martyred. 39 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,080 He has served the Lord faithfully. 40 00:02:09,640 --> 00:02:13,240 We can't be real dogmatic about this, but most people feel 41 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,240 that he's probably a little bit older than most of the other 42 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:15,880 apostles. 43 00:02:16,770 --> 00:02:19,690 And he had been in the fishing business all of his life. 44 00:02:19,690 --> 00:02:22,370 Probably inherited it for four or five generations. 45 00:02:23,010 --> 00:02:25,170 And he forsook all and followed Christ. 46 00:02:25,810 --> 00:02:26,450 Dramatic. 47 00:02:26,450 --> 00:02:29,890 He was saved and baptized and discipled under John. 48 00:02:30,050 --> 00:02:32,810 And then he transferred from John the Baptist over to Christ to 49 00:02:32,810 --> 00:02:33,890 begin to follow Christ. 50 00:02:34,530 --> 00:02:37,410 And by the way, do you notice how Peter never messed up? 51 00:02:37,410 --> 00:02:38,530 I mean, he was just like. 52 00:02:38,690 --> 00:02:39,170 Like that. 53 00:02:39,170 --> 00:02:39,570 Amen. 54 00:02:39,570 --> 00:02:39,890 Right? 55 00:02:40,370 --> 00:02:42,130 Peter was always a man of few words. 56 00:02:42,940 --> 00:02:44,380 Read the situation perfectly. 57 00:02:45,900 --> 00:02:48,220 Thou art the Christ, the son of the living God. 58 00:02:48,940 --> 00:02:51,820 A few minutes later, Jesus said, get thee behind me, Satan, 59 00:02:51,900 --> 00:02:54,980 for thou savorest not the things which be of God, but the things 60 00:02:54,980 --> 00:02:55,820 which be of man. 61 00:02:56,060 --> 00:02:59,180 I Like Peter, you know, and so forth. 62 00:02:59,180 --> 00:03:01,340 So he's a great, colorful person. 63 00:03:01,660 --> 00:03:03,820 And in second Peter, we have a. 64 00:03:03,900 --> 00:03:05,980 We have an event that he refers back to. 65 00:03:05,980 --> 00:03:10,600 Let's just pick up in verse number for you to catch what I was 66 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:10,920 saying. 67 00:03:10,920 --> 00:03:13,240 Let's go ahead and get in verse number 12. 68 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:13,880 Okay? 69 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,680 Second Peter, chapter one, verse 12. 70 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:21,560 And when I come to a passage like this and Peter's talking and 71 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:25,960 so forth, whatever I sometimes tell him out the seminary, if Paul 72 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:30,360 the Apostle came on faculty here, and I said the other day, I 73 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,160 was telling the students, if Paul came on faculty here, students, 74 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,000 I would let him do this and this. 75 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:36,080 And I said, wait a minute. 76 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:40,000 If Paul the Apostle came on faculty here, I would resign and 77 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,400 let him run this, run the school. 78 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:42,000 Amen. 79 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:43,560 And I said, paul came on. 80 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:44,640 This is what he'd say to you. 81 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:45,840 Pastoral ministry. 82 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,800 If you want to know what Paul would say, read first, second Timothy 83 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:49,440 and Titus. 84 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,440 And just imagine Peter's here today and he's talking to us. 85 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,520 He wasn't just talking to this immediate audience. 86 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,640 They knew that they were writing the word of God. 87 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:00,880 And so he's speaking to us this morning. 88 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:02,640 He's giving us a wonderful testimony. 89 00:04:03,250 --> 00:04:06,850 He's probably in his late 60s, still very young. 90 00:04:10,450 --> 00:04:12,050 We're living in amazing times. 91 00:04:13,170 --> 00:04:14,610 A hundred is not that old. 92 00:04:15,730 --> 00:04:17,490 You've heard about Methuselah, haven't you? 93 00:04:18,290 --> 00:04:20,210 Adam lived to be 930 years. 94 00:04:20,930 --> 00:04:22,010 Little faith would help. 95 00:04:22,010 --> 00:04:22,610 Amen. 96 00:04:23,490 --> 00:04:25,170 Anyway, it's probably his late 60s. 97 00:04:25,810 --> 00:04:31,640 It's 67, 68 A.D. it's been almost 40 years, 35 years or so since 98 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:32,520 they were with Christ. 99 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,400 And wow, did he see a lot. 100 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,520 This guy walked on water, man. 101 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,360 He was one of the three that got to go up on top of the Mount 102 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:43,240 of Transfiguration. 103 00:04:44,280 --> 00:04:45,879 Man, this is amazing. 104 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,480 Wouldn't it be great for Peter to just walk in there and talk to 105 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:49,040 us for a few minutes? 106 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:50,200 Say, Peter, can I ask you a question? 107 00:04:50,840 --> 00:04:54,360 If I were to say, Peter, Peter, tell me of all the miracles 108 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:58,120 that you saw Christ do. 109 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,880 And by the way, John says at the end of his Gospel, if everything 110 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,520 was written down, that should be written down, the world couldn't 111 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:05,960 contain the books that should be written. 112 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:07,000 That's quite a statement. 113 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:08,600 And by the way, they're still writing books. 114 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,399 There's more books being written about Jesus Christ right 115 00:05:11,399 --> 00:05:12,600 now than ever before. 116 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,520 We've got to the point now where you can self publish. 117 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:16,960 There's all kinds of books being written. 118 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:18,360 A lot of them are very good books. 119 00:05:18,840 --> 00:05:20,320 It's a bottomless topic. 120 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:20,960 It's endless. 121 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:21,720 It's infinite. 122 00:05:22,330 --> 00:05:24,850 And if he were to say to me, well, the miracle. 123 00:05:24,850 --> 00:05:27,210 I say, peter, just a minute before you tell me. 124 00:05:27,530 --> 00:05:31,930 We've got the Gospel accounts and God is very wise. 125 00:05:31,930 --> 00:05:32,810 He knows what he's doing. 126 00:05:32,810 --> 00:05:33,690 It's the word of God. 127 00:05:33,690 --> 00:05:38,890 But is there a miracle that happened that you know? 128 00:05:38,890 --> 00:05:41,810 I'm just curious, Peter, what John said, is there a miracle that 129 00:05:41,810 --> 00:05:44,890 Jesus did that's not in the four Gospels? 130 00:05:45,450 --> 00:05:48,910 Peter said, you asked me to tell you which one that I thought 131 00:05:48,910 --> 00:05:49,630 about the most. 132 00:05:50,190 --> 00:05:51,390 I said, yes sir, I did. 133 00:05:51,550 --> 00:05:52,990 He said, that's what I'm going to tell you about. 134 00:05:53,550 --> 00:05:55,230 So stay with me, look and see what it is. 135 00:05:55,550 --> 00:05:58,030 Here it is a man who saw all kinds of things. 136 00:05:58,190 --> 00:05:59,070 This is what he says. 137 00:05:59,070 --> 00:06:00,750 Just today, jumping into verse 12. 138 00:06:01,230 --> 00:06:05,630 If I wasn't time conscious, we'd read 1 through 11. 139 00:06:06,190 --> 00:06:09,710 But since I'm time conscious, why would I come up here and put 140 00:06:09,710 --> 00:06:10,910 a clock here and a clock there? 141 00:06:11,070 --> 00:06:13,230 People come up to me and say, brother Stuart, would you slow down? 142 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:25,600 Wherefore I will not be negligent to talk slow to put you 143 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,280 always in remembrance of these things, though you know them. 144 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:30,519 Just what we heard a few minutes ago. 145 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,120 We talked about this in Sunday school this morning. 146 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:33,240 The teacher was a good lesson. 147 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,280 We know certain things, but we need to be reminded of them. 148 00:06:37,280 --> 00:06:40,990 And by the way, the best place to be reminded is right here in church, 149 00:06:41,470 --> 00:06:42,030 okay? 150 00:06:42,030 --> 00:06:43,070 Church is all about Christ. 151 00:06:43,070 --> 00:06:44,070 If it's church, amen. 152 00:06:44,070 --> 00:06:46,830 We don't want churchianity, we want Christianity. 153 00:06:46,830 --> 00:06:47,310 Amen. 154 00:06:48,110 --> 00:06:48,790 Just think about it. 155 00:06:48,790 --> 00:06:49,870 Christianity is Christ. 156 00:06:50,910 --> 00:06:53,150 It's not just his teachings, it's Christ himself. 157 00:06:53,870 --> 00:06:58,430 And it says here, even though you know them and be established 158 00:06:58,590 --> 00:07:04,070 in the present truth, yea, I think it meet as long as I am in 159 00:07:04,070 --> 00:07:05,870 this tabernacle he's calling this body. 160 00:07:05,870 --> 00:07:09,150 You and I have a tabernacle that means a temporary dwelling. 161 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,120 When I was young, I thought heaven sounded really good for a 162 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:12,920 lot of reasons. 163 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,320 The primary reason now heaven is sounding good besides seeing the 164 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,640 Lord and our loved ones, is we get a new body. 165 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,600 I met Mr. Sciatica a few months ago. 166 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:23,960 Never met him in my life. 167 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,760 Ran into him and he let me know all the way from here, all the 168 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:29,480 way down to my foot, my ankle. 169 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:31,240 I thought my bone was aching. 170 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:31,880 It was horrible. 171 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,960 And I started talking to people half my age and they'd already 172 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:36,600 had a problem with it, so I felt a little better. 173 00:07:37,070 --> 00:07:39,950 When you're 39 plus and it's the first time you've had sciatica 174 00:07:40,030 --> 00:07:42,870 and along with that Came what I kept hearing on the radios. 175 00:07:42,870 --> 00:07:44,830 I kept hearing about plantar fasciitis. 176 00:07:44,830 --> 00:07:46,830 I said, I just want to hear the news. 177 00:07:46,830 --> 00:07:49,070 Do I have to hear these commercials about plantar fasciitis 178 00:07:49,070 --> 00:07:49,590 all the time? 179 00:07:49,590 --> 00:07:50,150 Constantly. 180 00:07:50,150 --> 00:07:52,590 Go to this doctor, they'll do this, they'll do that, and whatever. 181 00:07:52,590 --> 00:07:53,550 I don't want to hear it. 182 00:07:54,990 --> 00:07:57,950 I got plantar fasciitis and sciatica in the same leg. 183 00:07:59,470 --> 00:08:02,230 I finally found the cure, the rapture. 184 00:08:02,230 --> 00:08:05,110 But anyway, no, anyway, I finally found the cure. 185 00:08:05,110 --> 00:08:06,310 We found various things. 186 00:08:06,310 --> 00:08:09,440 The pianist over at Victory out of the providence of God. 187 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,240 And I'd gotten it somewhat under control. 188 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,080 I'm not gonna tell you how I got it because I love my wonderful 189 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:14,440 wife. 190 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,120 Is my wife a wonderful person? 191 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:18,680 She is fossil crazy. 192 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:19,880 She loves fossils. 193 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,120 She had me picking up fossils that weigh more than I do and I weigh 194 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:24,200 150 plus. 195 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:26,040 We're out there on the property. 196 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:26,960 We're clearing things out. 197 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:28,000 I'll give you an update tonight. 198 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:28,960 I'll show you some pictures. 199 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:30,200 It's coming along pretty well. 200 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,240 It's never fast enough because I want it done before the Rapture. 201 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,240 But anyway, we're out there and she had some down there. 202 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,000 We went down 12ft where they were digging out and I came up that 203 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:39,400 ramp. 204 00:08:39,560 --> 00:08:40,740 Any move on? 205 00:08:40,820 --> 00:08:42,580 Anyway, so I pretty well know how to handle it. 206 00:08:42,580 --> 00:08:46,540 But Peter told me I got these inserts at Birkenstock because I 207 00:08:46,540 --> 00:08:49,540 know about the other place but they want a lot of money and I didn't 208 00:08:49,540 --> 00:08:52,020 want to go pay a lot of money at the other place and not work. 209 00:08:52,100 --> 00:08:53,020 She told me about it. 210 00:08:53,020 --> 00:08:56,020 I went in, I got those inserts in two or three days. 211 00:08:56,020 --> 00:08:58,100 My sciatica waved goodbye. 212 00:08:59,140 --> 00:08:59,860 So two things. 213 00:08:59,860 --> 00:09:01,180 I no longer have sciatica. 214 00:09:01,180 --> 00:09:03,460 I no longer pick or pick up baby marine fault. 215 00:09:05,140 --> 00:09:07,759 They're cool, but there's a cost. 216 00:09:08,079 --> 00:09:09,439 But my wife's worth it. 217 00:09:09,839 --> 00:09:11,519 Wherefore I will not be negligent. 218 00:09:11,519 --> 00:09:13,159 He comes down, he says, ye, I thank meat. 219 00:09:13,159 --> 00:09:15,959 As long as I'm in this tabernacle to stir up you by putting 220 00:09:15,959 --> 00:09:19,879 you in remembrance, knowing that shortly I must put off this 221 00:09:19,879 --> 00:09:22,639 my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ showed me. 222 00:09:22,878 --> 00:09:26,199 Christ told him in John chapter 21 that you're going to be 223 00:09:26,199 --> 00:09:27,359 basically going to be crucified. 224 00:09:28,799 --> 00:09:32,499 And remember what Peter said after Christ told him that he. 225 00:09:32,570 --> 00:09:33,890 He said, okay, but what about John? 226 00:09:33,890 --> 00:09:34,810 What's going to happen to John? 227 00:09:34,890 --> 00:09:36,410 There's old pop up Peter. 228 00:09:36,810 --> 00:09:38,010 He's already in the center of. 229 00:09:38,010 --> 00:09:38,610 He said, what about John? 230 00:09:38,610 --> 00:09:41,050 What's going to happen To John, Jesus said, don't worry about 231 00:09:41,050 --> 00:09:41,370 John. 232 00:09:41,850 --> 00:09:44,730 If I want John to live forever, more or less, Jesus said, 233 00:09:45,050 --> 00:09:45,810 that's his business. 234 00:09:45,810 --> 00:09:46,250 That's my. 235 00:09:46,250 --> 00:09:46,970 It's not your business. 236 00:09:47,370 --> 00:09:48,410 And what happened? 237 00:09:48,650 --> 00:09:51,370 The rumor got going that John was never going to die. 238 00:09:52,410 --> 00:09:54,010 He did outlive them, okay? 239 00:09:54,010 --> 00:09:55,290 He did outlive the rest of them. 240 00:09:55,610 --> 00:09:59,640 Moreover, I will endeavor that you may be able, after my deceased, 241 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:03,800 to have these things always in remembrance. 242 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:08,000 Now, it's helped that that was part of the Scriptures, because we've 243 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,360 had this now for almost 2,000 years. 244 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:11,880 We used to say 2,000. 245 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:13,760 Almost 2,000 years ago, Christ died. 246 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:14,840 We're getting very close. 247 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:19,400 When we get to 20, 30, 20, 31, 32, 33, we can say 2,000 years ago, 248 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:20,240 Christ died. 249 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,240 We're real close, for we have not followed. 250 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:23,640 We. 251 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:24,360 This is him. 252 00:10:26,090 --> 00:10:28,730 Truth rests on the lips of dying man. 253 00:10:29,690 --> 00:10:30,730 He's not upset. 254 00:10:30,810 --> 00:10:31,690 He's not scared. 255 00:10:31,850 --> 00:10:33,250 He's ready to go to heaven. 256 00:10:33,250 --> 00:10:36,250 And he says, we have not followed fables. 257 00:10:36,810 --> 00:10:39,530 We have not followed cunningly devised fables. 258 00:10:40,570 --> 00:10:42,730 Paul referred to doctors of devils. 259 00:10:43,130 --> 00:10:44,050 Satan is real. 260 00:10:44,050 --> 00:10:45,610 He's active, he's brilliant. 261 00:10:45,770 --> 00:10:47,410 And he's had a lot of time to work. 262 00:10:47,410 --> 00:10:52,320 But Peter says, what we told you happened in the Gospels. 263 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:53,680 It happened. 264 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:55,960 We were not playing a game. 265 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:57,200 We were not insincere. 266 00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,640 We were not trying to start some big religious movement. 267 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:01,920 We were not trying to start a Jewish sect. 268 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:03,360 It happened. 269 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,799 We have not followed cunningly devised fables. 270 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,640 And by the way, folks, there are some very brilliant, intelligent 271 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,040 people and high positions in our government. 272 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,680 Whether it's in the law area, whether it's in the house, whether 273 00:11:16,680 --> 00:11:19,340 it's, well, it's in white houses and counselors and so forth. 274 00:11:19,340 --> 00:11:22,980 They're brilliant men, but they are not followers of the true 275 00:11:22,980 --> 00:11:23,540 Gospel. 276 00:11:24,180 --> 00:11:25,220 Satan's clever. 277 00:11:25,460 --> 00:11:26,820 He can package things. 278 00:11:26,980 --> 00:11:28,500 That's why you're not just saved. 279 00:11:28,500 --> 00:11:31,900 Because you figured out the Holy Spirit of God causes you to 280 00:11:31,900 --> 00:11:32,180 understand. 281 00:11:32,900 --> 00:11:36,620 The Holy Spirit of God shows you your lost condition, shows you 282 00:11:36,620 --> 00:11:38,580 how Christ is the only possible solution. 283 00:11:38,660 --> 00:11:40,180 And it shows you how it's done. 284 00:11:40,740 --> 00:11:44,970 The God we sinned against, the God we sinned against, came down 285 00:11:44,970 --> 00:11:45,890 and fixed the problem. 286 00:11:47,330 --> 00:11:50,290 He sent his Son, the eternal Son of God. 287 00:11:50,290 --> 00:11:54,090 Christ came down here and lived a life without sin in thought 288 00:11:54,090 --> 00:11:54,850 or deed. 289 00:11:55,010 --> 00:11:57,490 The tenth Commandment says, thou shall not covet. 290 00:11:58,210 --> 00:12:03,210 I've never had a problem with coveting for more than 30 seconds 291 00:12:03,210 --> 00:12:04,130 or a minute or two. 292 00:12:04,370 --> 00:12:07,130 Coveting is when you want something in a very selfish way, 293 00:12:07,130 --> 00:12:07,690 etc. 294 00:12:07,690 --> 00:12:10,180 The Ten Commandments are just ten examples of. 295 00:12:10,330 --> 00:12:12,010 Of loving others as yourself. 296 00:12:12,810 --> 00:12:15,130 The Ten Commandments are saying the same thing over and over. 297 00:12:15,450 --> 00:12:18,330 Love others as much as or more than yourself. 298 00:12:18,410 --> 00:12:20,570 Stealing is wrong because you love yourself more than the person 299 00:12:20,570 --> 00:12:23,090 you're stealing from, bearing false witness. 300 00:12:23,090 --> 00:12:25,370 Same way adultery, and so forth. 301 00:12:25,610 --> 00:12:29,330 But the 10th Commandment says that God holds us accountable for 302 00:12:29,330 --> 00:12:30,330 even our thought life. 303 00:12:31,450 --> 00:12:33,930 Can you imagine a God who knows your every thought? 304 00:12:34,090 --> 00:12:36,690 Psalm 139, God knows your thought before you have it. 305 00:12:36,690 --> 00:12:39,850 The Bible says, can you imagine standing before God? 306 00:12:39,850 --> 00:12:42,850 And God says, you know, you lived a wonderful life, but your 307 00:12:42,850 --> 00:12:44,210 thought life messed you up. 308 00:12:44,770 --> 00:12:47,370 How could you keep your salvation if you're accountable for 309 00:12:47,370 --> 00:12:48,010 your thought life? 310 00:12:48,010 --> 00:12:49,330 It has to be eternal security. 311 00:12:50,130 --> 00:12:53,490 Jesus Christ never sinned in thought or deed. 312 00:12:54,450 --> 00:12:56,850 God showed us that in Luke, chapter four, etc. 313 00:12:56,850 --> 00:12:58,570 Matthew, chapter four, both those places. 314 00:12:58,570 --> 00:13:02,250 When Satan came to him, he had need for 40 days and he threw the 315 00:13:02,250 --> 00:13:03,770 whole world at his feet, so to speak. 316 00:13:03,770 --> 00:13:05,970 And Christ went, is that all you got? 317 00:13:06,770 --> 00:13:08,210 I mean, that's it. 318 00:13:08,610 --> 00:13:10,530 It was to show us we don't have an errand. 319 00:13:11,250 --> 00:13:12,290 We don't have an errand. 320 00:13:12,290 --> 00:13:16,050 Remember, Moses went on top of the mountain for 40 days, 40 nights. 321 00:13:16,050 --> 00:13:19,610 He comes down, he hears that terrible music, Q102, out of Cairo, 322 00:13:19,610 --> 00:13:20,130 Egypt. 323 00:13:20,449 --> 00:13:22,330 It's like war going on and stuff. 324 00:13:22,330 --> 00:13:23,770 And Joshua, it sounds like war. 325 00:13:23,770 --> 00:13:26,610 Moses said, no, it's some of that music, you know, whatever. 326 00:13:27,010 --> 00:13:30,570 And he asked Aaron what happened. 327 00:13:30,570 --> 00:13:30,810 Aaron. 328 00:13:30,810 --> 00:13:35,290 And Aaron said, well, we just threw this stuff in the fire and 329 00:13:35,290 --> 00:13:36,170 this calf jumped out. 330 00:13:36,170 --> 00:13:36,440 That. 331 00:13:36,510 --> 00:13:37,150 That was a lie. 332 00:13:38,030 --> 00:13:38,910 That was a lie. 333 00:13:39,070 --> 00:13:40,750 We don't have a high priest like Aaron. 334 00:13:40,750 --> 00:13:41,230 Amen. 335 00:13:41,630 --> 00:13:42,430 We have Christ. 336 00:13:43,230 --> 00:13:45,070 There's so much going on here. 337 00:13:45,230 --> 00:13:46,990 And Peter saw so much. 338 00:13:47,390 --> 00:13:51,070 And Peter saw Jesus Christ actually die on the cross. 339 00:13:51,070 --> 00:13:51,950 He was shook. 340 00:13:52,270 --> 00:13:53,630 They knew he had to die. 341 00:13:53,790 --> 00:13:57,510 They knew the Lamb of God from John the Baptist preaching, Old Testament 342 00:13:57,510 --> 00:13:57,950 pictures. 343 00:13:58,030 --> 00:13:59,990 They knew when Christ came, he had to die. 344 00:13:59,990 --> 00:14:04,070 But they could not imagine the Passover lamb being treated the way 345 00:14:04,070 --> 00:14:05,070 Christ was being treated. 346 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:07,080 You didn't treat the Passover lamb that way. 347 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,160 You had a high reverence for it. 348 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,040 And then several months later, the day of atonement. 349 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,000 The Jews are in that area right now in their calendar over 350 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:15,040 in the Middle east and stuff. 351 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,480 You know, Jewish people, they're in that last three holy days 352 00:14:17,560 --> 00:14:18,200 right now. 353 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,080 And you didn't mistreat that big ox. 354 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,600 You took the blood and it had to be a certain kind of an ox. 355 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,120 You took it all the way through with all this rich into the 356 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,440 most holy place with pictures, taking the blood to Heaven. 357 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,880 And they could not figure out why this was happening. 358 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,730 They couldn't quite understand what was in front of them because 359 00:14:34,730 --> 00:14:36,450 they kept thinking, when's the kingdom going to come? 360 00:14:36,450 --> 00:14:37,370 When's the kingdom going to come? 361 00:14:37,370 --> 00:14:38,810 They had seen people saved. 362 00:14:38,970 --> 00:14:39,970 It just didn't fit. 363 00:14:39,970 --> 00:14:40,970 And they were confused. 364 00:14:42,490 --> 00:14:45,690 But boy, I tell you what, when Christ rose from the dead three days 365 00:14:45,690 --> 00:14:47,050 later, it got their attention. 366 00:14:47,850 --> 00:14:49,050 Now look what happens. 367 00:14:49,050 --> 00:14:53,530 This is Peter's miracle that he's going to tell us about. 368 00:14:54,410 --> 00:14:59,490 And I want to tell you today, if you're here, the God that made 369 00:14:59,490 --> 00:15:02,370 you and the God that's holding this universe together sent his Son 370 00:15:02,370 --> 00:15:04,890 to live a life without sin and then pay for all your sins. 371 00:15:04,890 --> 00:15:06,710 He took all the wrath cross. 372 00:15:07,190 --> 00:15:09,750 The Bible says in Romans that he spared not his own son. 373 00:15:09,750 --> 00:15:13,270 The reason he suffered emotionally, physically and relationally. 374 00:15:13,350 --> 00:15:16,550 Because sin causes emotional, relational, physical sufferings. 375 00:15:16,790 --> 00:15:18,230 And Christ bore it all. 376 00:15:18,550 --> 00:15:19,190 When he died. 377 00:15:19,190 --> 00:15:20,110 He said, paid in full. 378 00:15:20,110 --> 00:15:21,070 Tell us to test die. 379 00:15:21,070 --> 00:15:21,630 Paid in fold. 380 00:15:21,630 --> 00:15:25,430 And the resurrection proved that God accepted on our behalf. 381 00:15:25,510 --> 00:15:26,350 It's a gift. 382 00:15:26,350 --> 00:15:27,510 He's done all the work. 383 00:15:28,150 --> 00:15:29,750 All you have to do is reach out and take it. 384 00:15:29,750 --> 00:15:30,950 I realize I'm a sinner. 385 00:15:31,110 --> 00:15:32,230 I realized in thought. 386 00:15:32,630 --> 00:15:37,230 And aren't you glad you got a God that's his, that's how moral 387 00:15:37,230 --> 00:15:37,670 he is. 388 00:15:37,670 --> 00:15:42,510 The ten Commandments are God's own moral nature demonstrated ten 389 00:15:42,510 --> 00:15:43,190 different ways. 390 00:15:43,590 --> 00:15:47,030 God's moral nature is to love others as himself. 391 00:15:47,510 --> 00:15:49,190 Christ proved that from the cross. 392 00:15:49,830 --> 00:15:53,270 They beat him up, they spit on him, they slapped him, they ripped 393 00:15:53,270 --> 00:15:55,870 out his beards, they put a crown of thorns, beat it down on 394 00:15:55,870 --> 00:15:56,310 his head. 395 00:15:56,550 --> 00:15:58,870 They beat him with that whip, they nailed him to the cross. 396 00:15:58,950 --> 00:16:01,910 And I mean, you just can't imagine the pain and stuff he's through. 397 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:06,320 Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. 398 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:08,160 That's righteousness. 399 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,760 And the thief had railed on him for a while, the other thief, 400 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,720 and he started putting the dots together somehow, some way. 401 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,800 By the way, if you just start listening to the Bible and just start 402 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:18,800 kind of thinking about it. 403 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,080 Not by works of righteousness, which we have done according to his 404 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,200 mercy, not giving us the punishment we deserve. 405 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,680 For by grace are you saved through faith, not of yourselves. 406 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:27,840 It's the gift of God, not of works. 407 00:16:28,150 --> 00:16:28,870 Christmas is coming. 408 00:16:28,950 --> 00:16:29,990 You and I need to talk. 409 00:16:30,630 --> 00:16:31,110 Okay? 410 00:16:31,110 --> 00:16:33,870 Remember, we have something about Christmas. 411 00:16:33,870 --> 00:16:34,190 Okay? 412 00:16:34,190 --> 00:16:36,510 Some of you know about that, but anyway, it's a gift. 413 00:16:36,510 --> 00:16:37,510 You don't earn a gift. 414 00:16:38,070 --> 00:16:40,390 Christ offers the gift of salvation. 415 00:16:40,550 --> 00:16:41,190 Amen. 416 00:16:41,670 --> 00:16:45,310 And if you respond and think about, okay, I know I'm lost I know 417 00:16:45,310 --> 00:16:45,990 I'm a sinner. 418 00:16:45,990 --> 00:16:48,110 I believe that Christ is the God I sinned against. 419 00:16:48,110 --> 00:16:49,830 The Father sent the Son I sinned against. 420 00:16:49,990 --> 00:16:51,150 Father, Son and Holy Spirit. 421 00:16:51,150 --> 00:16:52,070 He paid the price. 422 00:16:52,150 --> 00:16:53,270 He rose from the dead. 423 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:54,520 Lord, save me. 424 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:56,480 You can say that right now, before I'm done preaching. 425 00:16:56,480 --> 00:17:00,040 God, for some reason, I got it today, that song that was sung. 426 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:01,080 Maybe your Sunday school lesson. 427 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,120 It's gelling, folks, right there in your pew. 428 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,120 You can simply say your chair. 429 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:09,760 You can simply say, lord, I know I'm a sinner. 430 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:11,160 You say, how can it be that simple? 431 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:12,000 He did all the work. 432 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,120 You know how hard it was to get my wife to marry me. 433 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:17,440 A lot of money. 434 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:23,480 A lot of trips to the big city of Wichita, Kansas, not Falls. 435 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:24,840 That wasn't big enough. 436 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:26,520 Lot of cash. 437 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:28,120 A lot of paying her dad. 438 00:17:28,120 --> 00:17:29,760 I gave her dad three horses and a mule. 439 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:30,320 No, but anyway. 440 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,920 Anyway, one day I said, would you marry me? 441 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:34,400 She said, well, give me some time to think about it. 442 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:38,520 No, but anyway, folks, it's that easy. 443 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:40,840 Because God loves you that much. 444 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:44,200 So look what happens here. 445 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,560 He said, I want you to have these things of remembrance. 446 00:17:48,210 --> 00:17:49,210 Heritage Baptist Church. 447 00:17:49,210 --> 00:17:51,450 He says, we have not followed cunningly devised fables. 448 00:17:51,450 --> 00:17:55,650 We may donate to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, 449 00:17:55,810 --> 00:17:58,370 but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. 450 00:17:58,370 --> 00:17:59,010 Here we go. 451 00:17:59,250 --> 00:18:01,250 We're going to see this miracle that he saw. 452 00:18:03,170 --> 00:18:05,970 And it was a picture of literally the second coming of Christ. 453 00:18:06,290 --> 00:18:08,610 I'm going to show you, if the clock allows it. 454 00:18:09,330 --> 00:18:12,930 You guys stop at what, one o' clock Eastern Standard Time? 455 00:18:13,500 --> 00:18:13,900 Okay. 456 00:18:16,220 --> 00:18:19,820 For he received from God the Father honor and glory when there 457 00:18:19,820 --> 00:18:22,140 came such a voice to him from the excellent glory. 458 00:18:22,220 --> 00:18:25,660 This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. 459 00:18:26,620 --> 00:18:29,220 And this voice, which came from heaven we heard when we were 460 00:18:29,220 --> 00:18:30,620 with him in the Holy Mount. 461 00:18:30,700 --> 00:18:32,140 Some people think it's Mount Tabor. 462 00:18:32,140 --> 00:18:34,460 But if you look at where they were located when all this was going 463 00:18:34,460 --> 00:18:37,500 on, and the fact that Mount Hermon is the highest mountain and 464 00:18:37,500 --> 00:18:40,220 it usually has snow on it year round, except this year the sun's 465 00:18:40,220 --> 00:18:42,530 so hot it may have melted it off over there, too. 466 00:18:42,530 --> 00:18:44,450 But anyway, it usually has snow up there. 467 00:18:44,450 --> 00:18:47,290 And as we're going to peek in a minute, these accounts, it probably 468 00:18:47,290 --> 00:18:48,490 was Mount Hermon. 469 00:18:48,890 --> 00:18:50,970 And he took Peter, James and John up there. 470 00:18:51,290 --> 00:18:54,250 Okay, now I want you to flip over to Matthew chapter 17. 471 00:18:54,250 --> 00:18:56,090 I'll come back to this chapter in a minute. 472 00:18:56,570 --> 00:18:57,930 We got to keep our eye on the time. 473 00:18:57,930 --> 00:18:58,290 Okay? 474 00:18:58,290 --> 00:19:00,250 You keep saying, brother Stewart, what time is it? 475 00:19:00,810 --> 00:19:01,570 What time is it? 476 00:19:01,570 --> 00:19:05,250 And I'll say in your heart, okay, what time is it? 477 00:19:05,250 --> 00:19:07,400 And I'll say in your heart, okay, I got. 478 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:08,200 I know what time it is. 479 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:08,680 Right here. 480 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:12,840 This says 11 oh, 11:31. 481 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:16,120 Is that what your watch says? 482 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:19,280 Oh, 41. 483 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,360 Okay, look at verse one. 484 00:19:21,360 --> 00:19:23,720 We have three accounts of the transfiguration. 485 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:27,920 And John chapter one probably refers to it because John says we 486 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:31,000 beheld his glory and that could cover the entire life of Christ. 487 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:35,260 But it seems like he's also saying, you know, in fact, let me 488 00:19:35,260 --> 00:19:35,940 insert this. 489 00:19:38,420 --> 00:19:41,420 I prepare sermons, but I try to listen to the Holy Spirit. 490 00:19:41,420 --> 00:19:42,780 And I feel nudges when I'm preaching. 491 00:19:42,780 --> 00:19:46,260 You may have never noticed that before, but I love first John 492 00:19:46,260 --> 00:19:53,540 1:1, where John more or less says, we saw him, we heard him, our 493 00:19:53,860 --> 00:20:00,020 eyes beheld him, and our hands have handled the word of life. 494 00:20:01,790 --> 00:20:03,590 It'd be something when Jesus was here. 495 00:20:03,590 --> 00:20:06,390 And you're taking all this in, there's so much going on around you. 496 00:20:06,390 --> 00:20:08,430 By the way, wherever Christ was, there was a lot going on. 497 00:20:08,910 --> 00:20:11,710 Just think about the times that they hugged or shook hands or 498 00:20:11,710 --> 00:20:12,910 he put his arm around you. 499 00:20:12,910 --> 00:20:15,150 John laid his head on his breast, on his chest. 500 00:20:15,710 --> 00:20:17,310 Jesus didn't love John more. 501 00:20:18,110 --> 00:20:20,110 John loved Jesus more than the others. 502 00:20:20,750 --> 00:20:22,830 He wanted to take advantage of that time. 503 00:20:23,390 --> 00:20:24,230 We handled. 504 00:20:24,230 --> 00:20:29,390 Here he is saying it, John Saying it around 90 some A.D. 60 505 00:20:29,390 --> 00:20:35,310 years later, John says, we handle the word of life, by the way, 506 00:20:35,310 --> 00:20:38,350 before and after the resurrection. 507 00:20:38,990 --> 00:20:40,190 Remember the night of the resurrection? 508 00:20:40,190 --> 00:20:41,870 Jesus showed up and they thought it was a ghost. 509 00:20:41,870 --> 00:20:42,830 They didn't know what to think. 510 00:20:42,909 --> 00:20:44,990 And Jesus said, handle me, touch me. 511 00:20:45,470 --> 00:20:47,390 Thomas wasn't at church that night. 512 00:20:48,590 --> 00:20:49,390 He wasn't there. 513 00:20:49,630 --> 00:20:50,590 He was there next Sunday. 514 00:20:50,990 --> 00:20:51,470 Probably. 515 00:20:51,470 --> 00:20:53,030 Probably sick, you know, probably sick. 516 00:20:53,030 --> 00:20:55,150 Anyway, they handled Christ. 517 00:20:55,230 --> 00:20:56,230 Christ had a real body. 518 00:20:56,230 --> 00:20:56,830 Amen. 519 00:20:57,710 --> 00:20:58,750 But he had a special body. 520 00:20:58,750 --> 00:20:59,670 He had a celestial body. 521 00:20:59,670 --> 00:21:01,310 He could materialize and you could touch him. 522 00:21:01,310 --> 00:21:02,510 Your hand didn't go through him. 523 00:21:03,790 --> 00:21:06,030 Okay, you're going to have one of those. 524 00:21:06,830 --> 00:21:08,630 We're going to get rid of this terrestrial body. 525 00:21:08,630 --> 00:21:08,870 First. 526 00:21:08,870 --> 00:21:09,310 Corinthians 15. 527 00:21:09,310 --> 00:21:10,750 We're going to get a brand new celestial body. 528 00:21:10,750 --> 00:21:12,270 You won't recognize me in heaven. 529 00:21:12,430 --> 00:21:13,310 My wife will. 530 00:21:13,470 --> 00:21:14,670 That's why she married me. 531 00:21:15,710 --> 00:21:17,270 I didn't look like this when she married me. 532 00:21:17,270 --> 00:21:20,600 But anyway, praise God. 533 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:22,720 Okay, you'll recognize my full head of hair. 534 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:24,840 Almost white, blondish white. 535 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,800 I was called a towhead by my teacher. 536 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:29,240 I thought she called me a toad head. 537 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:30,720 And I found out. 538 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,800 I told my mother one day I didn't want her for a teacher. 539 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:33,920 Next year, it's A long story. 540 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:35,400 I was going to have her for next year teaching. 541 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:37,040 Before the fifth grade ended. 542 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:37,760 She had called me. 543 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,680 I thought she called me a towhead, a toad head. 544 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:42,720 I told my mother, I don't want her for my teacher. 545 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:43,800 I got her next year for the teacher. 546 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:44,520 She had three choices. 547 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:44,960 I got her. 548 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:46,020 I said, I don't want her for my teacher. 549 00:21:46,890 --> 00:21:48,610 And in my house, that didn't make any difference. 550 00:21:48,610 --> 00:21:49,530 That's who I was going to get. 551 00:21:49,530 --> 00:21:51,170 It was good to get, but I just totally wanted my teacher. 552 00:21:51,170 --> 00:21:52,410 She said, your sister. 553 00:21:52,410 --> 00:21:53,450 She was a good teacher. 554 00:21:53,690 --> 00:21:55,210 I said, wanted to find it. 555 00:21:55,210 --> 00:21:55,730 I told my mother. 556 00:21:55,730 --> 00:21:56,810 She called me a toad head. 557 00:21:57,370 --> 00:21:58,410 She said, a toad head. 558 00:21:58,410 --> 00:22:01,610 I told her what happened and who told me that, et cetera. 559 00:22:01,610 --> 00:22:03,410 She said, no, she didn't mean toad. 560 00:22:03,410 --> 00:22:04,650 She meant towhead. 561 00:22:05,050 --> 00:22:06,330 Well, that's not any better. 562 00:22:06,330 --> 00:22:07,610 I thought of a big toe. 563 00:22:09,770 --> 00:22:10,810 That's toe. 564 00:22:12,180 --> 00:22:13,380 But it was actually tow. 565 00:22:14,020 --> 00:22:16,500 Towhead means really white, blondish hair. 566 00:22:16,740 --> 00:22:18,140 Okay, So I liked her. 567 00:22:18,140 --> 00:22:19,380 From that time on, it was okay. 568 00:22:20,180 --> 00:22:21,860 Then came the disciples. 569 00:22:21,860 --> 00:22:22,860 Okay, so look at verse one. 570 00:22:22,860 --> 00:22:26,100 After six days, Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, 571 00:22:26,260 --> 00:22:28,820 and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart. 572 00:22:29,140 --> 00:22:30,100 And was Christ. 573 00:22:30,100 --> 00:22:31,700 This is what Peter's talking about. 574 00:22:31,700 --> 00:22:33,940 And was transfigured before them. 575 00:22:34,260 --> 00:22:37,460 And his face did shine as the sun. 576 00:22:38,650 --> 00:22:39,450 Notice that word? 577 00:22:39,610 --> 00:22:41,610 All three accounts add details. 578 00:22:41,610 --> 00:22:47,330 His face shined as the sun, and his raiment was white as the 579 00:22:47,330 --> 00:22:47,690 light. 580 00:22:48,170 --> 00:22:50,090 Now, I want to make sure you get this in front of you. 581 00:22:50,410 --> 00:22:52,690 You're going to see it in Mark and Luke in just a minute. 582 00:22:52,690 --> 00:22:54,089 This was at high noon. 583 00:22:54,970 --> 00:22:56,490 High noon. 584 00:22:57,370 --> 00:23:00,290 If you and I walk out there right now at high noon, when I'm 585 00:23:00,290 --> 00:23:05,460 done preaching, maybe a minute or two after, when we leave, it takes 586 00:23:05,460 --> 00:23:06,220 you a while to get out of here. 587 00:23:06,220 --> 00:23:06,660 Okay. 588 00:23:07,620 --> 00:23:11,340 If you got there, can you imagine for Christ to shine on a 589 00:23:11,340 --> 00:23:14,100 mountain at high noon, how bright he must be shining. 590 00:23:14,740 --> 00:23:18,140 If you read all three accounts of Saul's conversion, Acts 9, 22 591 00:23:18,140 --> 00:23:21,860 and 26, it was high noon when Christ appeared to him on the road 592 00:23:21,860 --> 00:23:22,620 to Damascus. 593 00:23:22,620 --> 00:23:24,260 And he was blind for three days. 594 00:23:24,260 --> 00:23:28,220 Plus, if you read Revelation, chapter one, John's on the island 595 00:23:28,220 --> 00:23:32,580 of Patmos, it was high noon when Christ appeared at John Theon 596 00:23:32,580 --> 00:23:33,340 of Patmos. 597 00:23:35,260 --> 00:23:39,460 The Bible says in First Timothy, Paul talking to Timothy 598 00:23:39,460 --> 00:23:42,860 says, christ, God dwells in light no man can approach unto. 599 00:23:43,980 --> 00:23:45,260 You know what the Bible says? 600 00:23:46,220 --> 00:23:47,740 He's going to Destroy the Antichrist. 601 00:23:47,740 --> 00:23:49,060 Second Thessalonians, Chapter 2. 602 00:23:49,060 --> 00:23:50,300 With the brightness of his coming. 603 00:23:50,620 --> 00:23:53,900 So as bright as he was on that mountain, as Bright as he was on 604 00:23:53,900 --> 00:23:56,590 the road to Damascus, as bright as he was on the island of 605 00:23:56,590 --> 00:23:59,990 Patmos, he was still holding back because he's going to destroy 606 00:23:59,990 --> 00:24:02,070 the Antichrist and the Armageddon forces the brightness 607 00:24:02,070 --> 00:24:02,670 of his coming. 608 00:24:03,630 --> 00:24:05,110 Wow, he said. 609 00:24:05,110 --> 00:24:06,390 How are we going to approach him in heaven? 610 00:24:06,390 --> 00:24:07,230 But he's that bright. 611 00:24:07,710 --> 00:24:08,750 Celestial bodies. 612 00:24:08,910 --> 00:24:10,789 We're going to have a brand new body, Brother Reed. 613 00:24:10,789 --> 00:24:11,470 Brand new one. 614 00:24:11,630 --> 00:24:12,270 Amen. 615 00:24:12,270 --> 00:24:13,230 Sounds pretty good, doesn't it? 616 00:24:13,230 --> 00:24:17,430 It's like a brand new truck that didn't go over real well. 617 00:24:17,430 --> 00:24:18,830 But it's better than I guess whatever. 618 00:24:18,990 --> 00:24:20,670 I guess I should have said, what kind of truck? 619 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:21,400 Look what it says. 620 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,920 He was transfigured before them and his face did shine. 621 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,680 And behold, there appeared unto him Moses and Elias talking 622 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:28,240 with him. 623 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:29,680 That's Elijah. 624 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:33,080 Then answered Peter and said unto Jesus, it's good for us to be 625 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:34,840 here if thou wilt. 626 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:36,520 Let us make here three tabernacles. 627 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,240 You notice Peter doesn't mention this in second Peter. 628 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:45,440 One though one for thee, one for Moses, and one for Elias, while 629 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:46,240 he yet spake. 630 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:48,440 Behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them. 631 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,920 And behold, a voice out of cloud said, he does mention this. 632 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:55,760 He didn't tell you why God said it, but he does mention this. 633 00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,840 This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. 634 00:24:58,840 --> 00:24:59,680 Hear ye him. 635 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,240 And when the disciples heard it, they fell to their face and they 636 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:06,240 were sore, afraid, so scared it hurt, sort of. 637 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:10,560 And Jesus came and touched them and said, arise and be not afraid. 638 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:13,760 When they lifted up their eyes, they saw no man save Jesus 639 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:20,100 only save Jesus only Christianity is Christ. 640 00:25:20,740 --> 00:25:21,140 Period. 641 00:25:21,380 --> 00:25:22,020 Amen. 642 00:25:22,580 --> 00:25:26,340 In my hands, no price I bring simply to the cross I cling. 643 00:25:27,140 --> 00:25:30,100 Christianity is Christ A to Z. 644 00:25:30,980 --> 00:25:33,220 He's all, he's everything. 645 00:25:34,740 --> 00:25:38,540 We've got some great songs that have been written and we need 646 00:25:38,540 --> 00:25:40,220 to see this world the way the Bible sees it. 647 00:25:40,220 --> 00:25:42,020 And the body, Christ sees it and so forth. 648 00:25:42,450 --> 00:25:43,610 Now let's flip it quickly. 649 00:25:43,610 --> 00:25:44,850 Go over to Mark, chapter nine. 650 00:25:44,850 --> 00:25:46,210 Go over to Mark, chapter nine. 651 00:25:47,890 --> 00:25:49,170 Mark, Chapter nine. 652 00:25:51,650 --> 00:25:54,010 I've always wondered if the rapture took place while we were 653 00:25:54,010 --> 00:25:57,410 preaching, if he would be allowed to finish the sermon in heaven. 654 00:25:59,490 --> 00:26:00,290 What do you think? 655 00:26:01,810 --> 00:26:02,210 How many? 656 00:26:02,210 --> 00:26:03,650 Think we might be a little distracted. 657 00:26:04,050 --> 00:26:05,650 What if I was preaching on heaven? 658 00:26:05,970 --> 00:26:07,090 Oh, I got that wrong. 659 00:26:10,540 --> 00:26:11,740 I miscalculated. 660 00:26:11,740 --> 00:26:12,020 What? 661 00:26:12,020 --> 00:26:13,220 That stone was there alright. 662 00:26:13,220 --> 00:26:15,340 Look at chapter nine of Mark one. 663 00:26:16,460 --> 00:26:17,540 Mark Chapter nine, verse one. 664 00:26:17,540 --> 00:26:19,860 And he said unto them, verily I say unto you that there be some 665 00:26:19,860 --> 00:26:22,340 of them that stand here that shall not taste of death till they 666 00:26:22,340 --> 00:26:23,899 have seen the kingdom of God. 667 00:26:23,899 --> 00:26:25,860 Come with power, double meaning. 668 00:26:25,860 --> 00:26:27,340 They're going to see a picture of it. 669 00:26:27,740 --> 00:26:31,580 But ultimately it's going to be a greater show, as we'll see. 670 00:26:31,740 --> 00:26:34,900 And after six days, Jesus taketh with him Peter and James and 671 00:26:34,900 --> 00:26:37,700 John, and leadeth them up into a high mountain apart by themselves. 672 00:26:37,700 --> 00:26:39,460 And he was transfigured before them. 673 00:26:39,460 --> 00:26:42,500 And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow, 674 00:26:42,660 --> 00:26:45,180 so as no folder on earth can white them. 675 00:26:45,180 --> 00:26:47,100 And there appeared to him Elias and Moses. 676 00:26:47,100 --> 00:26:48,420 And they were talking with Jesus. 677 00:26:48,500 --> 00:26:51,060 And Peter answered and said to Jesus, master, it's good for us to 678 00:26:51,060 --> 00:26:51,460 be here. 679 00:26:51,540 --> 00:26:54,140 Let's make three tabernacles, one for thee and one for Moses, and 680 00:26:54,140 --> 00:26:54,980 one for Elias. 681 00:26:55,060 --> 00:26:57,140 For he wist not what to say. 682 00:26:57,780 --> 00:27:02,350 If you don't know what to say, you probably shouldn't say it. 683 00:27:04,430 --> 00:27:08,270 I'm glad I'm that way very rarely. 684 00:27:08,350 --> 00:27:09,870 For they were sore afraid. 685 00:27:10,590 --> 00:27:12,630 And there was a cloud that overshadowed them. 686 00:27:12,630 --> 00:27:14,870 And a voice came out of the cloud saying, this is my beloved 687 00:27:14,870 --> 00:27:15,710 Son, hear him. 688 00:27:15,950 --> 00:27:18,830 And suddenly they looked, and round about saw no man anymore. 689 00:27:18,830 --> 00:27:21,510 And Jesus anointed with themselves they came down from the 690 00:27:21,510 --> 00:27:21,790 mountain. 691 00:27:21,790 --> 00:27:22,390 He charged them. 692 00:27:22,390 --> 00:27:25,110 They should tell no man what things they had seen till the Son 693 00:27:25,110 --> 00:27:27,390 of man was risen, were risen from the dead. 694 00:27:27,710 --> 00:27:30,750 Now, the last one we'll look at real quick is Luke chapter nine. 695 00:27:31,270 --> 00:27:32,310 Here's Dr. Luke. 696 00:27:32,790 --> 00:27:33,910 Luke chapter nine. 697 00:27:34,550 --> 00:27:36,278 Look at verse 28. 698 00:27:36,502 --> 00:27:37,510 28. 699 00:27:39,430 --> 00:27:43,190 He is wider than snow. 700 00:27:43,190 --> 00:27:44,790 It tells us we're going so quickly. 701 00:27:44,790 --> 00:27:47,630 He's wider than a fuller can make him somebody that bleaches out 702 00:27:47,630 --> 00:27:48,150 material. 703 00:27:51,190 --> 00:27:52,710 Some of you have never heard me before. 704 00:27:53,350 --> 00:28:00,240 The reason I talk so fast is because the clock is rude. 705 00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:02,400 You're a wonderful church. 706 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:03,840 The clock's rude everywhere I go. 707 00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:05,440 Clocks are rude in our house. 708 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:09,560 Look at verse 28 of Luke chapter 9. 709 00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:12,399 And it came to pass about eight days after. 710 00:28:12,399 --> 00:28:14,160 He's starting at a different starting point. 711 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:17,360 If you go back and see what's happening in chapter nine previously, 712 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,840 other one said six days after these sayings, he took Peter and 713 00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,200 John and James and went up into a mountain to pray. 714 00:28:24,690 --> 00:28:25,170 To pray. 715 00:28:25,170 --> 00:28:26,450 Jesus went up there to pray. 716 00:28:27,490 --> 00:28:29,210 I love to hear Jesus pray. 717 00:28:29,210 --> 00:28:30,410 I can get a feel of it, though. 718 00:28:30,410 --> 00:28:35,290 In John 17, as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered 719 00:28:35,290 --> 00:28:38,770 and his raiment was white and glistering. 720 00:28:39,649 --> 00:28:44,170 They say it's almost like static electricity, like flashes 721 00:28:44,170 --> 00:28:46,050 of light just kind of shooting off of him. 722 00:28:46,770 --> 00:28:47,370 Glistering. 723 00:28:47,370 --> 00:28:48,530 It's like it's sparkling. 724 00:28:50,700 --> 00:28:53,540 And beheld there talked with him two men, which were Moses and 725 00:28:53,540 --> 00:28:56,820 Elias, who appeared in glory and spake of his decease, which he 726 00:28:56,820 --> 00:28:58,380 should accomplish at Jerusalem. 727 00:28:58,700 --> 00:29:01,260 But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep. 728 00:29:01,260 --> 00:29:04,420 And when they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that 729 00:29:04,420 --> 00:29:06,940 stood with him, and it came to pass, they departed from him. 730 00:29:06,940 --> 00:29:09,580 Peter said unto Jesus, master, it is good for us to be here. 731 00:29:09,580 --> 00:29:12,500 Let us make three tabernacles, one for thee and one for Moses, and 732 00:29:12,500 --> 00:29:14,380 one for Elias, not knowing what he said. 733 00:29:14,620 --> 00:29:16,980 And the deal is, he thought they were going into the kingdom 734 00:29:16,980 --> 00:29:17,180 age. 735 00:29:17,180 --> 00:29:18,810 They had been waiting for him to set up the kingdom, and. 736 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:19,920 And they thought, here it is. 737 00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:22,800 There's some Old Testament passages that hint towards this, 738 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:23,560 by the way. 739 00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:24,720 Let me interject this also. 740 00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,960 The Bible tells us when God makes a new heaven, a new earth, 741 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:28,640 etc. 742 00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:33,680 Even the new Jerusalem, ultimately we will not have a sun 743 00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:34,480 and moon anymore. 744 00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:36,800 Christ will be the light of the new Jerusalem. 745 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:40,640 And it also says in Matthew, chapter 13, and Daniel, chapter 12, 746 00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:41,560 other passages. 747 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:42,560 First Corinthians 15. 748 00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:44,560 You and I are going to rise and shine. 749 00:29:45,830 --> 00:29:48,550 Part of our sharing the glory of God is we're going to be clothed 750 00:29:48,550 --> 00:29:49,030 with light. 751 00:29:49,910 --> 00:29:51,750 Read about it, go back and look at it. 752 00:29:51,750 --> 00:29:53,590 As one star differeth another star and glory. 753 00:29:53,590 --> 00:29:55,030 So also is the resurrection. 754 00:29:55,030 --> 00:29:57,070 They that terminated the righteousness shall shine as the 755 00:29:57,070 --> 00:29:58,150 stars forever and ever. 756 00:29:58,630 --> 00:29:59,910 That's an interesting thought. 757 00:30:00,310 --> 00:30:01,870 Heaven's full of few surprises. 758 00:30:01,870 --> 00:30:02,470 Amen. 759 00:30:02,950 --> 00:30:06,150 All right, now for the second time, go back to Second Peter, chapter 760 00:30:06,150 --> 00:30:06,470 one. 761 00:30:06,790 --> 00:30:09,070 What time is it in your life now? 762 00:30:09,070 --> 00:30:14,060 I want us to go there, and I want us to see that because it is 763 00:30:14,060 --> 00:30:15,220 such an amazing event. 764 00:30:15,220 --> 00:30:18,420 And of all the miracles that Peter told us about, this is the 765 00:30:18,420 --> 00:30:19,380 one he honed in on. 766 00:30:20,260 --> 00:30:22,740 And there's going to be an amazing statement made here. 767 00:30:22,820 --> 00:30:24,100 Peter's departing. 768 00:30:24,340 --> 00:30:28,300 And I will tell you, the older I get, not that I'm old yet, but 769 00:30:28,300 --> 00:30:33,900 the older I get, I tell those students, the older I get, the more 770 00:30:33,900 --> 00:30:35,460 I tell them, you got to stay by the stuff. 771 00:30:35,780 --> 00:30:37,140 You got to stay by the stuff. 772 00:30:38,270 --> 00:30:39,230 You can't waffle. 773 00:30:39,710 --> 00:30:44,830 Dr. Barber's just saying now, Jonathan, don't let that school change. 774 00:30:44,990 --> 00:30:46,110 Don't let that change. 775 00:30:46,270 --> 00:30:49,830 I said, Dr. Barber, Mrs. Barber said, Raymond, Jonathan is 776 00:30:49,830 --> 00:30:51,070 not going to let the school change. 777 00:30:51,390 --> 00:30:51,950 Okay? 778 00:30:53,310 --> 00:30:54,190 You feel that? 779 00:30:54,190 --> 00:30:57,390 Peter is saying, gentlemen, it's real. 780 00:30:58,590 --> 00:31:01,230 We turned our back on everything. 781 00:31:01,390 --> 00:31:03,550 And by the way, today you are proof it's real. 782 00:31:04,610 --> 00:31:07,010 Apologetics is very important and very needed. 783 00:31:07,410 --> 00:31:09,690 Your goal in apologetics is not to win the argument. 784 00:31:09,690 --> 00:31:11,410 You can win the argument and lose the soul. 785 00:31:11,890 --> 00:31:13,730 Be ready to give every man an answer. 786 00:31:13,970 --> 00:31:16,730 Give him something to think on, chew on and pray for him. 787 00:31:16,730 --> 00:31:17,210 Amen. 788 00:31:17,210 --> 00:31:18,610 Let the Holy Spirit do it. 789 00:31:18,610 --> 00:31:20,770 But you are the best apologetic there is. 790 00:31:20,850 --> 00:31:23,490 The man that wrote I serve a risen Savior is in the world today. 791 00:31:23,490 --> 00:31:24,330 I know that he is living. 792 00:31:24,330 --> 00:31:28,090 Whatever a man may say after time, after several months of trying 793 00:31:28,090 --> 00:31:30,410 to witness to a guy who was struggling to believe and had been 794 00:31:30,410 --> 00:31:33,380 attending his meetings, he finally went back to the end of the 795 00:31:33,380 --> 00:31:33,540 meeting. 796 00:31:33,540 --> 00:31:34,700 The guy still hadn't gotten saved. 797 00:31:34,700 --> 00:31:35,900 And they'd gone through a bunch of things. 798 00:31:35,900 --> 00:31:37,540 The guy said, okay, I understand. 799 00:31:38,180 --> 00:31:38,900 I get it. 800 00:31:38,900 --> 00:31:39,820 I think it's for real. 801 00:31:39,820 --> 00:31:40,340 But I just. 802 00:31:40,340 --> 00:31:40,820 Whatever. 803 00:31:40,900 --> 00:31:42,580 And so this guy just gave him his testimony. 804 00:31:42,580 --> 00:31:43,380 He said, that's it. 805 00:31:43,380 --> 00:31:43,900 That's what I want. 806 00:31:43,900 --> 00:31:44,980 And the guy got saved. 807 00:31:45,700 --> 00:31:46,340 Amen. 808 00:31:46,740 --> 00:31:50,260 Peter is saying, I'm parting, I'm departing. 809 00:31:51,060 --> 00:31:53,380 Don't let go of this, it's true. 810 00:31:54,020 --> 00:31:55,220 And then he says this. 811 00:31:55,700 --> 00:31:56,980 You're there in Second Peter. 812 00:31:57,590 --> 00:31:59,750 And come down to verse number. 813 00:32:06,470 --> 00:32:06,870 17. 814 00:32:06,950 --> 00:32:09,870 For he received from God the Father honor and glory when there 815 00:32:09,870 --> 00:32:11,750 came such a voice to him from the excellent glory. 816 00:32:11,990 --> 00:32:15,110 This is my beloved Son in whom I'm well pleased. 817 00:32:15,750 --> 00:32:17,750 Now, he's the one that kind of brought that on. 818 00:32:18,150 --> 00:32:19,270 But look at verse 18. 819 00:32:19,270 --> 00:32:22,110 And this voice which came from heaven we heard when we were with 820 00:32:22,110 --> 00:32:23,070 him in the Holy Mount. 821 00:32:23,070 --> 00:32:24,470 We just read those three accounts. 822 00:32:25,310 --> 00:32:26,350 Now look at verse 19. 823 00:32:27,070 --> 00:32:28,510 Do you have one of these in your hand? 824 00:32:30,670 --> 00:32:33,790 If I could go back in time and that's not possible, maybe when we 825 00:32:33,790 --> 00:32:38,390 get to heaven, if I could go back in time, I've preached, sure 826 00:32:38,390 --> 00:32:38,990 enough to know. 827 00:32:38,990 --> 00:32:39,950 Some of you may remember. 828 00:32:40,110 --> 00:32:41,550 You remember all my sermons. 829 00:32:43,390 --> 00:32:44,350 I don't, I swear. 830 00:32:44,350 --> 00:32:44,710 If you did. 831 00:32:44,710 --> 00:32:50,960 But anyway, I love the one where Jesus asleep in the ship and 832 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:51,720 he rises up. 833 00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:54,240 Remember we did a Bible conference on Mark, the Gospel of 834 00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:54,520 Mark. 835 00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:57,720 And we acted out. 836 00:32:57,960 --> 00:32:59,800 Brother Anderson was there and so forth. 837 00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:00,840 And we were still friends after that. 838 00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:01,760 I didn't know what he'd think of me. 839 00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:06,000 But anyway, we talked about that miracle and this miracle and 840 00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:07,640 him calming the sea and so forth. 841 00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,840 But anyway, I just love that miracle. 842 00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:12,760 But let me ask you a question. 843 00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:13,880 I know what the answer is. 844 00:33:16,210 --> 00:33:20,010 Would you like to be able to go back and see the miracles or see 845 00:33:20,010 --> 00:33:20,570 a miracle? 846 00:33:20,570 --> 00:33:21,730 Or would you rather have this? 847 00:33:25,010 --> 00:33:26,690 How many say I'd rather have the Bible? 848 00:33:27,890 --> 00:33:29,650 How many say I'd rather have the miracles? 849 00:33:31,250 --> 00:33:34,370 If Brother Clark and I, we agree on everything but one thing. 850 00:33:34,770 --> 00:33:36,210 When the wise men showed up. 851 00:33:36,290 --> 00:33:40,010 But we'll get that settled if Brother Clark and myself. 852 00:33:40,010 --> 00:33:46,360 And see the Brother did the son school class and let's say all 853 00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:49,760 three reads Father, Son and Grandson. 854 00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:52,320 All three reads Deep Dish. 855 00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:54,200 Okay, all three of those guys. 856 00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,640 If we all saw that same miracle in a while, we wouldn't be 857 00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:56,920 friends. 858 00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:00,200 Brother Clark said, Brother Stewart, go get your glasses checked. 859 00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:01,800 That's not what happened. 860 00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:05,120 I said Brother Clark, I just had my glasses checked. 861 00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:06,600 Go get your glasses checked. 862 00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:08,440 Okay, what I'm saying is. 863 00:34:09,260 --> 00:34:10,140 Look what he's going to say. 864 00:34:10,140 --> 00:34:11,420 He's going to say three things. 865 00:34:13,260 --> 00:34:17,900 As great as the miracles were, this is better. 866 00:34:19,900 --> 00:34:21,500 This is the sword of the spirit. 867 00:34:22,780 --> 00:34:25,900 What it has to say is completely accurate. 868 00:34:26,700 --> 00:34:30,540 The contents, the quality of its contents are beyond anything 869 00:34:30,540 --> 00:34:30,820 else. 870 00:34:30,820 --> 00:34:31,780 I've told you several times. 871 00:34:31,780 --> 00:34:35,180 If you had two libraries and one of them all they had was a Bible 872 00:34:35,490 --> 00:34:37,570 and the other one had all other books that had ever been written, 873 00:34:37,570 --> 00:34:40,770 the one with the Bible would be the better library just because 874 00:34:40,770 --> 00:34:41,890 of its contents. 875 00:34:42,130 --> 00:34:43,890 But number two, it's vitality. 876 00:34:43,890 --> 00:34:45,330 Not just quality, vitality. 877 00:34:46,050 --> 00:34:46,930 It's alive. 878 00:34:47,330 --> 00:34:49,970 It's God breathed that does something for us spiritually. 879 00:34:49,970 --> 00:34:51,850 You can't get saved without the word of God. 880 00:34:51,850 --> 00:34:54,450 It's compared to seed because seed has life in itself. 881 00:34:54,930 --> 00:34:57,130 It talks about receiving the engrafted word. 882 00:34:57,130 --> 00:34:59,170 James says you don't graft into dead branch. 883 00:34:59,330 --> 00:35:01,010 This is a supernatural book. 884 00:35:01,610 --> 00:35:02,730 Supernatural quality. 885 00:35:03,210 --> 00:35:06,410 It's alive and it's the instrumentality of the Holy Spirit. 886 00:35:06,490 --> 00:35:07,770 It's the sword of the Spirit. 887 00:35:07,770 --> 00:35:10,370 He takes that two edged sword and he pierces. 888 00:35:10,370 --> 00:35:11,450 Hebrews 4:12. 889 00:35:11,690 --> 00:35:14,170 He pierces between the soul and the spirit. 890 00:35:14,170 --> 00:35:15,770 You can't do that with laser surgery. 891 00:35:18,410 --> 00:35:20,810 God works in your innermost being. 892 00:35:20,970 --> 00:35:21,890 The woman at the well. 893 00:35:21,890 --> 00:35:23,130 I almost preached on it this morning. 894 00:35:23,130 --> 00:35:24,330 The woman at the well. 895 00:35:25,290 --> 00:35:27,290 She was talking about how deep that well is. 896 00:35:27,950 --> 00:35:30,030 This heart was actually not here. 897 00:35:30,110 --> 00:35:31,230 It's really your mind. 898 00:35:31,310 --> 00:35:34,190 The heart is the deepest part of you. 899 00:35:34,910 --> 00:35:36,430 And that's where he convicts. 900 00:35:36,430 --> 00:35:39,070 That's where he talks to your intellect, the emotions and your 901 00:35:39,070 --> 00:35:39,350 will. 902 00:35:39,350 --> 00:35:41,630 Like a railroad station where all three tracks come together. 903 00:35:41,950 --> 00:35:43,390 Your heart is the innermost being. 904 00:35:43,390 --> 00:35:45,190 With the heart, man believeth unto righteousness. 905 00:35:45,190 --> 00:35:45,950 It makes sense. 906 00:35:46,510 --> 00:35:49,630 He begins to feel the emotion of how serious salvation is. 907 00:35:49,710 --> 00:35:52,270 And his will begins to say, you need to get this settled. 908 00:35:52,430 --> 00:35:54,670 Why don't you transfer your trust to Christ right now? 909 00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:56,800 By the way, you're always showing great faith. 910 00:35:56,800 --> 00:36:00,720 Today you transferred your trust from your feet to these chairs. 911 00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:02,640 Aren't those chairs comfortable? 912 00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:06,720 It's like the clock doesn't even matter when you sit in those 913 00:36:06,720 --> 00:36:07,200 chairs. 914 00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:10,320 Those car seats you got, they're too small. 915 00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:11,520 They don't hit your back, right? 916 00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:12,280 It's hot outside. 917 00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:13,600 There's air conditioning in here. 918 00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:15,840 I'm preaching pretty hard today. 919 00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:16,280 For me. 920 00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,920 I'm usually pretty laid back, but I'm not even sweating. 921 00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:20,080 This is pretty nice in here. 922 00:36:20,490 --> 00:36:22,010 Why don't we just order in some lunch? 923 00:36:23,530 --> 00:36:24,050 Okay? 924 00:36:24,050 --> 00:36:24,690 Let's move on. 925 00:36:24,690 --> 00:36:26,170 I just wanted to see what the crowd was doing. 926 00:36:26,170 --> 00:36:26,450 All right. 927 00:36:26,450 --> 00:36:27,050 Here we go now. 928 00:36:27,050 --> 00:36:27,370 Watch. 929 00:36:28,490 --> 00:36:32,370 And it says we have a more sure word of prophecy. 930 00:36:32,370 --> 00:36:33,610 He's not putting the miracles down. 931 00:36:33,610 --> 00:36:34,490 They had their place. 932 00:36:34,490 --> 00:36:36,090 There's seven reasons for the miracles. 933 00:36:36,730 --> 00:36:38,970 Don't have time now, but seven reasons for the miracles. 934 00:36:38,970 --> 00:36:42,930 At least whereunto you do well, as you take heed as unto a 935 00:36:42,930 --> 00:36:46,130 light that shineth in a dark place until the day dawn and the 936 00:36:46,130 --> 00:36:49,840 day star arise in your hearts and in closing, turn to Malachi, 937 00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:50,680 chapter four, please. 938 00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:52,200 Malachi, chapter four. 939 00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:53,640 What's he talking about? 940 00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:58,280 When the child of God looks at the word of God and sees the son 941 00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:00,680 of God, he's changed by the spirit of God into the image of God 942 00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:03,160 for the glory of God. 943 00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:04,240 Second Corinthians 3:18. 944 00:37:04,240 --> 00:37:04,639 Read it. 945 00:37:04,639 --> 00:37:07,600 That's what it's teaching you and I, more than anything else. 946 00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:09,080 This was touched on in Sunday school. 947 00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:12,960 You and I, more than anything else, need to meet with God in the 948 00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:13,240 morning. 949 00:37:14,450 --> 00:37:16,730 Robert McShane, great missionary, said, never see the face 950 00:37:16,730 --> 00:37:18,450 of man till you've seen the face of God. 951 00:37:19,490 --> 00:37:23,170 Dr. Barbee should tell you when I open the Bible, I open the 952 00:37:23,170 --> 00:37:23,890 mind of God. 953 00:37:23,970 --> 00:37:24,610 Amen. 954 00:37:25,090 --> 00:37:26,450 This is God's word. 955 00:37:27,010 --> 00:37:30,530 You need the information and you need the Holy Spirit's
