Hey folks. Welcome back to another edition of the Daily Bible Podcast. Hey folks, and hello. It is Good Friday today. Why is it Good Friday? You might ask because this is the day that we choose to remember the death of Jesus, and so you might think that Black Friday should be today and good Friday because people buy all the good stuff. My, maybe that's the, the better name for the Friday before Thanksgiving. But no, this is Good Friday because of what the cross represents. Our hope in the fact that. As we're gonna talk about even at our services this evening, that our debt's been paid by Jesus on the cross. That if we repent from our sins and put our trust in that payment, that God can remain just and be the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus. And that's why it's good Friday. So happy, good Friday. Hopefully you're planning to join us four o'clock, five 30 tonight for our Good Friday services. Do you say Happy Good Friday. Is that, do you tell people, Hey, happy. Good Friday to you. Seems redundant to say happy and good, and also a bit off the. The tone of the day too. But it's funny 'cause it's Good Friday, which would. You know, we, we don't even say good Easter. Google says, you can say things like, wishing you a blessed Good Friday. You can also say, have a meaningful good Friday or third may you find peace and hope on this day, which a blessed good Friday if we're gonna go Greek. Blessing. The word for blessed also also means the word for happy. So that's true. Couldn't it be that we're, that Google is saying, yeah, you can say Happy Good Friday. I'm gonna say have a meaningful good Friday. I don't, I don't think I've ever said that to somebody. Like, I don't think I've ever put that sentence together. Happy Good Friday. I, I don't think I've ever left some conversation and said, happy good Friday. What you say as I walked away, you. I do you just not acknowledge it? I think because of the awkwardness of the English syntax and the meaning of all these words, I just don't think I say Good Friday to you. Yeah. I don't say peace be with you on this good Friday hallowed day. I don't, I don't know that. I don't, I think probably just 'cause of the awkwardness of the English language when it comes to those edict from for for Compass Bible Church in North Texas. We're gonna genuflect and do the cross with each other on Good Friday. Yikes. Yeah. Oh, so just get letters about that. Just kidding. We're not gonna do that. Alright, well good Friday to all of you. See now I'm using it differently though. Yeah. 'cause that's like good Friday day. Yeah. Good. Good. Friday's a proper noun. Good day sir. I don't know how to, good Friday, sir. Talk to you all. I'm just gonna say I don't know what to say. And there's also that weird thing where on a Good Friday service you typically have a more somber feel. Yeah, right. You know, Sunday's there. And yet you're still participating in that sense of, I want to feel the gravity and the guilt of my sin such that it warrants my savior to go on the cross for my sin. Crazy. It, it's a, it's a weird day for me. It's, and I, I appreciate it. I enjoy it. But it's also a bit strange to quote Phil Wickham, Friday's good because Sunday's coming. Mm. And actually, we're not doing that song this year. That's what we're talking about. On Sunday though, we're talking about how the resurrection is that which. Really applies what happens on Friday that without the resurrection on Sunday, Friday isn't good. Um, so it would've been especially fitting to do that song this year, it would've, and, and maybe, you know, had you had a a, a pastor that was more proactive in, in planning could plan that and said, Hey, we should do, uh, we should put that song on there. Well, I did consult the Ouija board. Did you? And it did lead me in a pretty good direction. Well, we're gonna get. Lots, lots of letters we're borderline explicit on this podcast. Um, yeah, speaking of letters, we did get one that was written in a question on judges three, four. They were there for the testing of Israel to know whether or not Israel would obey. And this particular questioner says, really, that seems harsh contradicts even in my mind all the protections God offers throughout scripture. So I think that's. That's a, a poignant observation that, that God is one who loves his people, who cares for his people, and is there to provide for his people as well. And yet it's not foreign, even in the New Testament for us to see that God does test those that he loves. James even talks about the trials that we encounter in our lives. Consider Joy, my brothers, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And even that we might be, as James goes on to say perfect or complete in our faith. And so God brings testing even Hebrews. He disciplines the one that he loves, like a father disciplines the child that he loves. And so I don't think our memory verse too. Yeah, that is for, so our memory verse, do not be surprised at the fire trial. When it comes upon you to Yes. Test you, to attest you as though something strange were happening to you right. From one Peter. So we do see that. But yeah, I'd love to get y'all's thoughts on there too. It, it does, you read it in a at face value. It's like, well, why would God do that? Why would God leave these nations to test his people? It doesn't seem loving. When we first read at initial glance there, what makes me think of the temptation of Jesus? So I, I think maybe the way the question is. Asked might suggest that the asker might disagree with me, but I, I do actually think that it's common for God to test his people. I mean, you might even see that with Adam and Eve in the garden. It doesn't explicitly say that that was a test, but I do think you could argue, and I would, that that is a test of Adam and Eve in the garden. Mm-hmm. So I do think, and we see that throughout scripture, that there are places where there. God tests his people. And I think the pinnacle of that is, is the temptation of Jesus. And we see throughout scripture that all these different people fail to be obedient. Right? And God is testing to see if they will obey in judges throughout the book, but specifically in this, this particular passage that the questioner references. But I mean, you look at the temptation of Jesus, God allows him to be tempted to be tested and. I would contend that this is actually the pinnacle of temptation. This is the most intense temptation ever brought on humanity, is Jesus being tempted by Satan. And what do you see in, you know, we just read it. It's obviously in the other gospels as well, but in Luke four, he. Endures that temptation. He obeys, contra all the people who came before him who did not obey. Right? So I think even Jesus is tested now. I think there is protection. I mean I think we see in one Corinthians 10 is it that God is not going to test us beyond what we are able to and he's gonna provide a way of escape. Is that one Corinthians 10? Yes. I think it's one Corinthians 10. And um, so there are protections, but it doesn't mean that God isn't gonna tempt us. Uh, to be clear, God is not the one who does the tempting. To be very precise, to allow us to be tempted or to put us to the test. I'll just quote James one for the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. I remember coming across the same idea of what, why does God test us? What's he trying to figure out? And the answer of course is that he knows he's using this as a means that we might know where we stand in relation to him. And so as a good father, he exposes us so that we would know our weakness so that we may grow. In fact, I was just praying earlier, the Lord show us what we need to fix, but not all of it. I don't want to know everything that needs to be changed, but just show me what I need to see so I can take steps of obedience. Yeah. And become more like Christ. That's ultimately the goal. Yeah, there you go. Good question. And, uh, if you've got more questions, anybody out there listening, feel free to write 'em in and we'll do our best to get them answered in a timely fashion. Well, let's turn to our daily Bible reading for today. We're in judges 10 and 11, and then Luke chapter nine, one through 36. Judges 10 and 11. Judges 10. There's two judges that we read about very briefly in verses one through five, but I want you to note there that there's 45 years that trans transpire in those five verses. So you've got. Tola, who judges Israel for 23 years and then after him comes Jaire, who judges Israel for 22 years. So we don't get a lot of information about their ruling about the rain, about, uh, rain's a bad term, but about their ministry amongst the people. But it is 45 years of time that does pass by just like that. And then afterwards, shocker, I know you're surprised at this by this point in time in the book of Judges, but Israel again does what is evil in the side of the Lord. And in the rest of Chapter 10, we're gonna find out that God is gonna deliver them over to the hand of the Philistines and the Ammonites, and that's gonna be for. 18 years of oppression slash captivity by these foreign nations. One of the coolest verses in this chapter is verse 16. So they put away the people, put away the foreign gods from among them and serve the Lord and and get this. When else are you gonna see something like this? That virgins on saying that God sin. And God, he became impatient over the misery of Israel. Isn't impatience a sin, at least the way that we understand it, and yet hear God who does not exist in time condescends to them in a time reference to say he doesn't like the fact that they're suffering in these ways? I love this because it shows me the tender hearted nature of God, who even though we just talked about him during the beginning of this podcast, it sometimes seems like God is harsh or uncaring or showing himself to be ways that are. Just difficult to understand, but here you gotta put the pieces together. Even though God is the one who's bringing on this suffering for Israel, he does it in a redemptive fashion where he's intending to do them good. Even to the point where God can say sincerely, he's impatient over their misery. He doesn't like that. He doesn't want to sit in that state even though again. God doesn't exist in time, which is a mind-boggling thought to me. And yet here you see this incredible image of God, what he thinks about their situation. And of course, I would extend it even to you as a Christian, how God thinks about your situation. If you're going through a difficult time, it's not like God is passively sitting back saying, well, hey, I'm just stick it out. You're gonna be okay. You know, toughen up buttercup. God cares. And, and God is willing to condescend into our misery. Yeah, it's, and it is a condescension, even the, the way that he uses that word to describe it, because God is not impatient, such that we become impatient when something that's out of our control is delayed. Right. And then we grow weary of waiting and we're like, I want it now. And it's not ours to really get at that moment, or we have to sin to be able to get it. That clearly is not God. Everything is within God's sovereign purview and control. And anything that God does is good. So this is just. God giving us a glimpse through the writer of this book into, a way of us understanding his love for us, his compassion towards us. That it was like he was con impatient towards what was going on. He had everything in his disposal to do what he needed to do to bring the relief to the people, but he wanted us to know he was moved, over the plight of the people because of their repentance. Well, in chapter 11 we're introduced to a guy named jta. And you may know jta more for the words that he promised foolishly rather than the actions of jta. But Jha is going to be used by God to deliver the people from the hand of the Ammonites specifically. JHA is gonna warn the Ammonites to consider the history of Israel. He's gonna go through here and say, look at what the God of Israel, what our God has done. And that's important to know because. When the United States is overseas right now attacking Iran or the United States is engaged in a conflict or other nations are engaged in conflicts typically today, it's not a conflict of God against God. It's a nation against nation. It's a political force against a political force, but at this point in time. When war broke out, it was the god of this nation against the God of the other nation. That's why, as we're gonna see later on in one Samuel, the ark is captured by the Philistines and put in the temple of their false God as a sign that the Philistines God won over the Israelites God in that battle. So here JTA is challenging the Ammonites saying, who do you think you are Boeing up against? Our God. Uh, because let me recount for you everything that our God has done. And then he prepares to go to battle. And so confident is he in the Lord's delivery that he says, Lord, I'm, I'm going to whatever comes outta my door, that, that thing I'm going to sacrifice to you. Uh, when I return home from this victorious battle, which I don't know what he was thinking, I, every single time I come to this passage, I look for something that would've gone okay. Was he greeted by like a cat every morning that he came home from the fields, and he was like, I don't like that cat, so I'm just gonna get like, what was he thinking? Just go right to the cat in the first place then. Yeah. Right. I mean, that would've been less foolish than what he says, but, um, God's gonna deliver, but there's gonna be a, a great cost here, which I guess we can get to just momentarily here. But anything on, on that first part there? I, I'm gonna be inclined to think that JHA is not a particularly good character. In entirety. Uh, there are things he says about God that are correct and about the history of people that are correct. But I even think looking at verse three of chapter 11, where it says that worthless fellows collected around him I think that's an indication by the author here that this is not somebody who is living righteously, living faithfully. And so I even think that is something that should. Flavor, how we read the things he says about the people of Israel and about how God works. And it culminates in this, this horrible vowel that he makes. And so I think he's perhaps using language here that is correct, but he probably doesn't mean that's gonna be my interpretation of it because of some of these hints that we get in the first few verses. I would be interest. Yeah, go ahead. I, I was just gonna say, I think you're right about your read on Jeff, that as a character and I would even say that some of what he says here as he's recounting Israel's history is not right. Mm-hmm. It's not correct. Mm-hmm. Uh, he even gets their God wrong. He says, you know, will not. Will not, will you not possess what mosh or mosh your God gives you to possess? And they would say, well, that's not our God. Good try, but that's not the one that we worship. And then he goes in verses 25 and say, did, did, uh, did they ever contend, did your people ever contend against Israel or did they ever go to war with them? Well, yes. Numbers 22 through 24. That whole section is about that. So he's recounting Israel's history incorrectly. He has some things right, he has a lot of things wrong, which in my mind then only reinforces the tragic vow that he makes because he's ill-informed at best. So what do we do with then? Verse 29, after all that, 'cause I agree with you guys. The spirit of the Lord rushes upon him. And so this is God just simply using an imperfect vessel to accomplish his perfect plan. And that's why the spirit of the Lord rushes upon him. And, and then is the spirit of the Lord anointing him when he makes this foolish vow. Um, it's. It's odd because you, when you see the spirit of the Lord rush upon someone, typically at, at this point in time, that's a, a sign of God's favor upon the person. And so JTA is clothed with the spirit, at least to do the Lord's bidding when it comes to delivering the people from the Ammonites. But perhaps that's where it stopped it. It didn't go any further than that. 'cause this is not an indwelling, so this is not a total right transformation of the character the way that we think about it in the New Testament. But I guess you could look at it as compartmentalized to his leadership of the people to rally the troops and go to battle and, and win the battle. I do think that it can't be comprehensive because Deuteronomy 18 verse 10 says, there shall not be found among you. Anyone who burns his son or daughter as an offer. Anyone who practices divination or tells fortunes or interprets omens or sorcerers, it goes on and on and effectively the. The declaration of those types of people is that they're an abomination to God. And so when it comes to his, his vow, I do think that he knows that it's going to be a human. I mean, the, the implication, I think. You, you could argue otherwise, but I'm gonna contend, I do think he thinks it's a human 'cause. Who else would be coming out the door to greet him? Yeah. On his return. So I, I, maybe he knows it's gonna be his daughter. Maybe he doesn't. I don't know that for sure, but I do think that that vow is contrary to what God has commanded, blatantly. And so when it talks about the spirit of the Lord upon him, it cannot extend to that because that would be a contradiction of scripture and a contradiction of who God is. Amen to that. I would only add that the spirit of the Lord working in the old Covenant is very different than he does in the New Covenant. In the new covenant. It is a comprehensive mm-hmm. Over overarching con control, as in a like mechanical, but the, the Lord comprehensively dwells with the Christian, changes his thoughts, feelings, desires, all those things. Mm-hmm. In a progressive way, whereas in. Under the old Covenant, the spirit has a functional purpose for his empowerment of somebody giving them some kind of wisdom for a certain situation or physical strength to do a certain feat, much like judges six, where you have a Samson who brings down the house literally. Um, so I, I, I don't see this as being in. In conflict with the new covenant. In fact, because of what he says, things, again, he continues, even though he does this great thing, he accomplishes military victory. He still says things like, I can't take back my vow. I guess that's what it is actually. He can buddy. You can and you should. Uh, and then he, he says things that just are evident to me that the, the spirit's relationship to him is functional. It's specific to the task at hand and not, not comprehensive to his life. So the conclusion of all of these events then is more evidence of his wickedness then, because he did have an out to Rene gun, his vow. Yeah. And I guess to your point, pastor Mark, you said this is incompatible with what he does to his daughter. That's why some people suggest that he actually doesn't. Do anything to his daughter. She's just dedicated to perpetual virginity for the rest of her life, which is why the gals mourn for her because they mourn for her virginity. They're not mourning for her life, at least as some understand it. I think Jeff, that does exactly what you think he's doing. And the those virgins, because that was a much bigger deal for them, would've said, oh, this poor gal, she never got to live a full life. She never got to do all these things that a woman would do because it meant more to them. Yeah, I would agree. I would agree. Yeah, it's, it's a horrible situation. That's why it's known as Jetta's, tragic vow, and that's why he's known for that more than he is for anything else. And the whole book is meant to point us to, oh Lord, we need a redeemer. Oh Lord, we need a savior. Oh Lord, we need a real judge. We need a true judge, a righteous judge. So judges should make you thirsty for Jesus. It should make you say, I need a leader. I need a hero. Mm-hmm. Like that song, I Need a Hero. You need that person. Yeah. And all these people are meant to show you how inadequate and incapable it is to try to serve the Lord with your own human strength. Yeah. And yeah, go ahead. If you feel sick when you read this, I don't think that's a bad response. I feel even queasy, even at this moment, just thinking about this sequence of events, I don't think that that's the wrong emotion that you should have, but to Pastor Rod's point, that needs to drive you to. Recognizing the desperate need we have for a solution to this problem, which I think in the Old Testament you we're seeing 'cause we're headed towards King David. And King David is gonna be the high point arguably of the Old Testament. Solomon, you could argue is, is a great king as well, but I think it crescendos with David. And then it begins the downfall after that, Solomon's failure as a father, uh, which David had his own, but Solomon's failure as a father led to the division of the kingdom. And then you've got the southern kingdom. Northern kingdom, you've got the exile, the northern kingdom, the exile is southern kingdom. And the downfall, again, until you get the offspring of David the offspring of Abraham, you've got the final fulfillment. Who's Jesus, who's the ultimate redeemer that we're looking forward to. So there's, there is a high point that we're moving to in the book of judges or, or in the, the Old Testament. And I think that this. This depravity that we're seeing here is meant to cause us to long for that and was meant to cause Israel to long for that because David was a type of the one that was ultimately to come. That would be the, the greatest fulfillment of that. Let's flip over to Luke chapter nine and dive into our New Testament reading verses one through 36. Luke nine at the beginning, they, uh, gather the, the 12 apostles do, and they're sent out to, it says there, preach the gospel and to heal everywhere they go. So, verse six, chapter nine, verse six, preach the gospel. Pastor Mark, what do you think they use? Do you think they use the four spiritual laws? Do you think they use Ray Comfort in the Old Testament that the 10 Commandments? What, what was the gospel that they were preaching right there? I think they had some tracks. Do you? Okay. Yeah. I think they had tracks. Jesus wrote tracks for them. Yeah. We need to get our hands on whatever he wrote. Okay. I think let's do that. Yeah. Yeah. But this is interesting. It is. What is the gospel that they're proclaiming at this point? Because it's not what we think of when we read this. I'd say that the gospel they're proclaiming is what Jesus commissions them to do. The Lord is here. It's time to turn Similar to what John the Baptist would've said. Yeah, I think it's gonna be along that vein with the caveat that Jesus himself is here. I, I think they knew something about Jesus that would've been able to give them a sense of saying, Hey, that, that the Messiah's here, I don't know if they would've been able to articulate it that way at this point in their, in their history, but they would've had some knowledge. In fact, we're going to see soon here. Uh, yeah. It's in the next passage, actually, I'm getting it clear. The Caesarea Philippi confession. Mm-hmm. Where they explicitly state who he is. So they had to have something. Mm-hmm. They couldn't maybe articulate it the way they did, but some form of the Messiah is here. Jesus is here. Turn from your sins and looks to the Lord. So at this point in time, salvation being offered was similar to the salvation of the Old Testament saints. Then anticipating, believing the promises of God and having that credited to them as righteousness without having an understanding of the cross and the need for. What we see there. Uh, yeah, I think so. I would put it maybe slightly different, which is that Jesus is on the scene and the Old Testament promises that Jesus is coming is coming. And so I think, you know, you even see Paul do this, uh, you, you, you see several people before they actually have the whole corpus of the New Testament, their reasoning from the scriptures. Well, what are they reasoning from? They're reasoning from the Old Testament. And so that would be what I would. Modify what you said by or add to what you said by Yeah, but I mean, I agree with you. Yeah. And I, but I do think there is very much a new thing, which is Jesus is here and he's the one who has been promised. Yeah. Such an interesting time in history. 'cause you even think about the disciples when they're in the upper room and, and Peter tells Jesus, you can't wash my feet. And Jesus says, if I don't wash your feet, you don't have no part of me. And he says, then wash all of me. And he says, you're already clean. All you have left is, is you need your feet washed. Their salvation was a progression. We, we've talked about that recently, about when regeneration takes place versus when we put our faith in Christ. There's a little bit of that here but for the disciples, it was a much longer progression because I think what Jesus was telling Peter there is I think he was telling, you're good, you're saved, but your salvation still needs to be realized through the cross. It's not yet fully completed. It will be at the cross there. And I wonder if there's a little bit of that with the proclamation of the gospel here as they're growing out. I've always understood the, the reference to his feet being that perpetual, ongoing repentance that we would need because you're walking through the streets, your feet get dirty. And so there needs to be an ongoing confession, repentance, I would think that Peter is legitimately saved. I would say that I think all of them are legitimately, completely saved, but it wasn't affected until Jesus would actually go to the cross and die in their place. So, yeah, I'm not sure what they would've said, but I do know that whatever it was, was a complete salvation that would be realized or paid for, uh, by his soon coming death. Sure. And don't forget what Romans teaches about how faith, the faith of Abraham. Is the faith that we need. Obviously there's an old covenant and a new covenant, but it is not as though people in the Old Testament were saved in some sort of completely different weird unsimilar way. Right. Yeah. It's actually in our passage here in Luke chapter nine that we do talk about the confession accessory of Philippi. Rad. Do you wanna address that? Yeah. So they're up, they're up north at this point. Which is Esea Philippi. It's a, it's kind of a remote region, and this is where Jesus, at one point, he's saying, here, what do people say about me? What do they say that I am? Who do they say that I am? And then they answer. Some say John the Baptist, others, Elijah and some of the others will say that you're one of the old prophets. You've come back. And then he says to them, this point's a question. That really is the linchpin for the whole thing. Who do you say that I am? And this is a question that Christians have rightly said to all of us who sit under preaching. Who do you say Jesus is? This is a question that we're gonna have to ask this Friday and this Sunday. Who do you say that Jesus is? He's either the son of God who lives and died in our place, or he's a fraud. It's kind of like CS Lewis' Tri. Some people add a A, a fourth one to that liar. Lunatic Lord. Or do you know the fourth one? Legend. That's a new one that people have added. Mm-hmm. And, and that really is a crux for you. What are you gonna say? And of course, Peter says here, better than he knows, probably you are the Christ of God. You're the Messiah, you're the foretold one. You're the the prophet that Moses foretold and forecasted. And so Jesus, at that point, it's at that linchpin that Jesus now starts to say, okay. You got it. I'm gonna, I'm here to die, actually. Yeah. And they're like, wait, hold on. You're not gonna die, Jesus. Hold on a second. Let's rethink this. Well, and not only is does he say I'm here to die, but he says, if you wanna follow me, that's what your life is gonna look like too. Right? The cost of discipleship. Take up your cross and follow me. And come after me. And then as our passage for today ends, then you've got the transfiguration. So it's fascinating just to see how all of this works together. You've got the high point of the confession of, of Peter that everybody's feeling really good about. He is the Christ. This is great. And then he says, oh, I'm gonna die. And also your life's gonna be really hard to follow me, but here's the transfiguration where I'm gonna show you who I really am. You're gonna hear from the father. You're gonna see Moses and Elijah up here as well. It's as though he's kind of coming alongside to, to buoy and, and strengthen their faith. It's, it's. Like you see it at the baptism where he's affirmed by the father that the spirit descends on him like a dove. And then there's a, a period of time in his earthly ministry. And then you get to this point, and it's almost like the transfiguration is a, is a baptism part two, where the disciples needed the second reminder of who this was and that they should indeed follow him because things were about to get really difficult as well as after his resurrection and just following Christ, it was gonna get hard, but they needed to remember who Jesus really was. Yeah, it's really cool. The father says, this is my son, my chosen one, and I always, I heard recently, not always. I heard recently someone say, this is how a father acts with his son. He affirms him and tells him who he is, and I thought, oh, that's really good. I've never heard that before, but this is what the father does. He's affirming his son and saying, this is my boy. You ought listen to him. I love that. It's such a tender picture between the father and the son. And what an incredible thing that God has made it. It's not the same thing, but the humans can be fathers like God, not in the same exact way, but that we reflect God's glory as fathers and we should look at these things and we should say we. An incredible privilege I have as a dad to have anything at all that is similar with God, my father and his relationship with his son. What an amazing thing that God has built that into creation order. So cool. Well, let's pray and then we'll be done with this episode of the Daily Bible Podcast. Lord, we are aware as we started this episode that today's Good Friday, the day that we remember the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross for us, something that we could never fully wrap our mind around and we'll probably spend eternity trying to understand more and more, even as we just read, Jesus willingly and knowingly went to the cross. Some have accused your son of, of being a victim of your wrath, and yet he was a full and willing participant to it and subjected himself even as you have revealed. To us in Philippians to the point of death, even death on a cross, that he humbled himself to that point, and you willingly, as we'll talk about this weekend, delivered him over for our trespasses. We're so grateful for that reality. Lord, help us to live faithfully in light of it as we seek to follow you and take up our own cross daily. We pray this in Jesus name, amen. Keep your bible soon and again tomorrow for another edition at the Daily Bible Podcast. Happy good Friday. Happy good Friday. Bye all.
