all the states together and you have a contest to see who invests less. 00:01:42.269 --> 00:01:45.090 And their children's education in the public school system. 00:01:46.650 --> 00:01:47.519 No, that's not good. 00:01:48.510 --> 00:01:49.560 That's really bad. 00:01:50.310 --> 00:01:51.390 We're we're number three. 00:01:51.390 --> 00:02:07.560 And let me lemme say it to you this way, if you're, if you're not following, of all the states in the union, 50 states in the Union, Arizona is third from the bottom, we're number 48 in terms of our willingness to invest money in the education of our children. 00:02:09.074 --> 00:02:12.134 I don't know if you understand this, but your money goes where your values go. 00:02:12.615 --> 00:02:14.354 Your money follows your values. 00:02:14.354 --> 00:02:17.235 What you, what you think is important is what you invest your money in. 00:02:17.905 --> 00:02:21.104 I, I don't know why our government, I, I don't know why. 00:02:21.659 --> 00:02:26.430 We invest so little, but I, I'll tell you what, I can't fix that. 00:02:26.939 --> 00:02:35.250 But as pastor of this church, and again, I'm talking to all of our campuses and I'm talking to you online, it's time for us to step up and do something. 00:02:35.699 --> 00:02:49.110 So I am unashamedly asking, I'm calling you out, church, next Saturday morning, all across the valley, we're gonna, we're going to infiltrate schools and we're gonna invest our time and our money in schools. 00:02:49.115 --> 00:02:49.800 Here's what we're gonna. 00:02:50.750 --> 00:03:02.389 We're, we're gonna bless teachers and we're gonna bless administrators and we're gonna bless the children and we're gonna bless the facilities that have been neglected by the state, and we're gonna make a difference. 00:03:02.539 --> 00:03:04.219 So I need two things out of you. 00:03:04.430 --> 00:03:06.379 Unashamedly need two things outta you. 00:03:06.379 --> 00:03:09.229 Number one, I need your attendance next Saturday morning. 00:03:09.379 --> 00:03:16.069 So whatever campus you're, you get online and you go to the campus and it'll give you information as far as where and what schools. 00:03:16.490 --> 00:03:18.199 And I need you to invest money in. 00:03:19.514 --> 00:03:23.685 And I wanna say this, my wife and I have invested thousands of dollars in this. 00:03:23.685 --> 00:03:26.324 I am not asking you to do what we haven't done. 00:03:26.985 --> 00:03:31.875 I am saying this is serious and we need to fix this, and we need to make a difference in church. 00:03:31.875 --> 00:03:34.724 We're capable of making a difference if we're willing to make a difference. 00:03:35.235 --> 00:03:39.344 And unashamedly asking you, let's be willing to make a difference. 00:03:39.615 --> 00:03:44.925 It is not good to be number one at caring the least about our children. 00:03:44.925 --> 00:03:47.955 Can I get an amen from anybody who agrees with me? 00:03:48.224 --> 00:03:49.125 All right, very good. 00:03:49.664 --> 00:03:51.314 Okay, so here's what I need you to do. 00:03:51.314 --> 00:03:53.895 Get your Bible, open your Bible to the book of Hebrews. 00:03:53.895 --> 00:03:55.155 So I'm, I know I say this all the time. 00:03:55.155 --> 00:03:56.955 I'm telling you, you gotta bring a Bible. 00:03:57.689 --> 00:04:01.379 Uh, I, I, I think so often we think we won't need just pop up on the screen. 00:04:01.379 --> 00:04:03.180 I cannot do what I'm trying to do. 00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:05.699 If you don't have a Bible, it'll be harder for you. 00:04:05.699 --> 00:04:08.280 If you don't have a Bible, you will not regret bringing a Bible. 00:04:08.284 --> 00:04:08.819 So bring a Bible. 00:04:08.824 --> 00:04:14.759 So Hebrews, uh, chapter, uh, let's go to chapter nine in the book of Hebrews and just hold that right there. 00:04:15.150 --> 00:04:17.879 And, uh, just, just, we, we will be there in just a minute. 00:04:17.879 --> 00:04:20.819 So we're continuing today in a series that we started about two months ago. 00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:21.990 It's called something Better. 00:04:21.990 --> 00:04:25.439 And we're talking about Jesus because the book of Hebrews is all about Jesus. 00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:29.968 And the point of it is Jesus is better than anything that ever came before him. 00:04:29.968 --> 00:04:30.839 Now, here's the deal. 00:04:31.408 --> 00:04:46.079 The, the book of Hebrews is trying to explain that a new covenant, the new Testa, The new covenant established in Jesus is better than the old covenant established in, uh, the past under Moses. 00:04:47.204 --> 00:04:49.033 Okay, now you gotta like, what? 00:04:49.033 --> 00:04:49.394 What? 00:04:49.423 --> 00:04:53.593 It's not saying it was bad, it's saying it's built on it and it's better. 00:04:53.745 --> 00:04:58.274 So everything we've talked about in the eight weeks prior to this or whatever it's been is Jesus is better. 00:04:58.363 --> 00:05:03.314 These is the best revelation of God, better than any prophet as far as understanding who God is. 00:05:03.673 --> 00:05:05.173 He is better than angels. 00:05:05.204 --> 00:05:07.875 He, uh, he's the son revealed, not a servant. 00:05:08.144 --> 00:05:10.214 He's better than Moses, better leader than Moses. 00:05:10.423 --> 00:05:12.134 The rest he offers is better. 00:05:12.574 --> 00:05:14.564 The, the, he's better priest. 00:05:14.985 --> 00:05:17.714 He, he's, he offers a, a better covenant. 00:05:18.314 --> 00:05:20.355 And today what I want to do is I wanna talk about this. 00:05:20.355 --> 00:05:25.754 He, Jesus is a better sacrifice than anything ever offered in the old covenant. 00:05:25.785 --> 00:05:27.134 And that's what we need to understand. 00:05:27.139 --> 00:05:31.274 Now, here is the big idea that I'm gonna do, do, do my best to communicate today. 00:05:31.545 --> 00:05:33.074 This is what you need to understand. 00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:33.464 All right? 00:05:33.644 --> 00:05:42.824 You cannot understand the Bible and you cannot understand God without understanding the concept of s. 00:05:44.339 --> 00:05:47.550 So I wanna talk about sacrifice and I, I, I, I'm gonna do my best. 00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:48.750 Now here's a problem. 00:05:48.899 --> 00:05:50.730 We are American individualists. 00:05:50.730 --> 00:05:55.410 We don't like the idea of sacrifice, cuz sacrifice means you put something else above you. 00:05:56.939 --> 00:06:05.399 It's been, it's been said that that sacrifice is giving up something you love or surrendering something because you love something more. 00:06:05.730 --> 00:06:07.449 We have been taught to love ourselves. 00:06:07.449 --> 00:06:09.180 We are lovers of self in America. 00:06:09.269 --> 00:06:09.540 All right? 00:06:09.540 --> 00:06:10.079 And an I are. 00:06:11.100 --> 00:06:16.980 So, so when you talk about sacrifice, it means you're gonna make a decision that something's more valuable than you. 00:06:17.670 --> 00:06:22.560 And when I just asked you to sacrifice on behalf of school children, I'm saying, I know you love your money. 00:06:23.069 --> 00:06:25.110 We need to love our children more than we love our money. 00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:33.060 And it's the idea you're willing to surrender something of value for something that you deem of greater value. 00:06:34.214 --> 00:06:35.923 Let me say it again so we make sure we got it. 00:06:36.644 --> 00:06:42.343 You cannot understand the Bible and you cannot understand God without understanding the concept of sacrifice. 00:06:42.343 --> 00:06:47.533 Now, here's what you need to realize is the concept of sacrifice is crucial to the Bible. 00:06:47.564 --> 00:06:55.603 It began all the way in the Old Testament, and what God did in the Old Testament is he established a foundation upon which the New Testament will be. 00:06:56.564 --> 00:07:02.235 And you can't understand the New Testament without understanding the foundation upon which it was built. 00:07:02.415 --> 00:07:08.055 And, and so I I, I want to do something today and I just want to plead with you to indulge me with this. 00:07:08.384 --> 00:07:10.334 I I'm gonna do something I normally don't do. 00:07:10.365 --> 00:07:10.605 Do. 00:07:10.605 --> 00:07:14.954 So if you're a guest with us today, now we always preach the Bible, trust me. 00:07:14.954 --> 00:07:18.884 But I, I'm going to, I'm gonna fire hose you today with the Bible, okay? 00:07:18.884 --> 00:07:20.535 And just indulge me all right? 00:07:20.595 --> 00:07:21.975 I won't, it won't go long. 00:07:22.004 --> 00:07:23.805 It, it's not gonna be, I'm boring. 00:07:23.805 --> 00:07:24.524 It's not gonna be mono. 00:07:25.410 --> 00:07:29.850 But I'm gonna show you something all the way from the Old Testament to the New Testament. 00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:39.360 You cannot understand the book of Hebrews, and you certainly cannot understand where we are in the book of Hebrews, Hebrews nine, without understanding what, what the Old Testament was all about. 00:07:39.389 --> 00:07:41.370 So I'm gonna give you a tour. 00:07:41.459 --> 00:07:43.110 Uh, we're gonna do a Bible blitz. 00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:43.680 All right. 00:07:44.100 --> 00:07:48.420 And if you have a Bible, which I hope you do, I'm gonna have you turn to some scripture so you can follow now. 00:07:48.420 --> 00:07:50.519 Right now, if you have a Bible, you're in Hebrews chapter nine. 00:07:50.519 --> 00:07:51.629 Cause I've already asked you to turn there. 00:07:51.629 --> 00:07:55.889 Now I'm gonna ask you to go to the Book of Exodus and, and just hold the book of Exodus. 00:07:55.889 --> 00:07:56.850 Let me, lemme explain. 00:07:57.718 --> 00:08:02.699 You see the Bible begins with the book of Genesis, Genesis, Genesis, generation, the beginning. 00:08:02.788 --> 00:08:08.250 All right It, it's the Book of Beginnings, but immediately it's followed by the Book of Exodus. 00:08:08.310 --> 00:08:09.959 Exodus is about an exit. 00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:10.769 Let me explain. 00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:23.430 In our study so far, I've reminded you that what happened in the old covenant way back then was that the people of Israel, Went down to Egypt and then they were held slaves in Egypt. 00:08:23.459 --> 00:08:26.339 They were made, they were forced laborers in Egypt. 00:08:26.689 --> 00:08:30.360 And, and, and they were crying out to God because Pharaoh was so oppressive. 00:08:30.360 --> 00:08:32.788 The Egyptians were so oppressed, and they're crying out to God. 00:08:32.793 --> 00:08:33.629 God, get us outta here. 00:08:33.629 --> 00:08:34.440 Get us outta here. 00:08:34.620 --> 00:08:38.490 And, and God says, I hear you, and I'm gonna send you a rescuer. 00:08:38.495 --> 00:08:39.960 I'm gonna send you a redeemer. 00:08:40.139 --> 00:08:42.480 I'm gonna send you a savior. 00:08:43.198 --> 00:08:45.629 And so he sent Moses. 00:08:45.719 --> 00:08:48.480 Moses goes down and he's got one message for Phll. 00:08:48.509 --> 00:08:50.068 Let my people go. 00:08:50.188 --> 00:08:51.448 And he says that over and over. 00:08:51.448 --> 00:08:53.549 And Pharaoh says, no, no, no. 00:08:53.610 --> 00:09:08.849 And then finally Moses goes, then we're gonna, we we're gonna give you an incentive and what begins, or what call the, or what are called the 10 plagues, they get more and more severe as they go on the 10th plague is hugely sign. 00:09:09.975 --> 00:09:23.504 The 10th plague, the one that finally caused Pharaoh to re, re relent and release the, uh, Israelites, was what was called the plague of the death of the firstborn, the death of the firstborn. 00:09:24.044 --> 00:09:30.825 And, um, I, I want to explain that Moses did everything he could do to get Pharaoh not to go down this. 00:09:32.039 --> 00:09:36.240 But Pharaoh wouldn't relent and so Moses from God was sold by God. 00:09:36.269 --> 00:09:41.820 You tell the people to do this, you need to take a lamb, you take a goat, doesn't matter. 00:09:42.539 --> 00:09:44.250 You sacrifice that goat. 00:09:44.250 --> 00:09:49.230 You take the life of that goat and and with its blood. 00:09:49.529 --> 00:09:56.940 I want you to take the blood of the lamb and I want you to paint the doorposts of your house in the blood of the. 00:09:58.580 --> 00:10:04.919 A, and then something's gonna happen, and that blood of the lamb is gonna protect you from something. 00:10:04.919 --> 00:10:09.029 So let me just take you to the book of Exodus chapter 12, which again, if you have a Bible, just go there. 00:10:09.029 --> 00:10:11.549 All right, I'm gonna be Exodus chapter 12 verse five. 00:10:11.549 --> 00:10:15.029 This is what it says, the animals you choose must be a year. 00:10:15.450 --> 00:10:23.129 Must be your old males without defect, and, and you may take them from the sheer, the goats take care of them until the 14th day of the month. 00:10:23.134 --> 00:10:27.509 And then all the members of the community of Israel must slaughter them at twilight. 00:10:28.710 --> 00:10:35.940 They are then to take some of the blood and put it on the sides and the tops of the door frames of the houses where they eat the lambs. 00:10:36.360 --> 00:10:37.710 Why would they do that? 00:10:37.740 --> 00:10:39.090 Because what's coming? 00:10:39.149 --> 00:10:41.549 Let me keep her eating begining with verse 12. 00:10:41.909 --> 00:10:48.899 On that same night, I will pass through Egypt and I will strike down every first. 00:10:49.725 --> 00:10:54.764 Of both people and animals, and I will bring judgment on all the gods of Egypt. 00:10:55.095 --> 00:10:56.445 I am the Lord. 00:10:56.475 --> 00:11:00.284 The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are. 00:11:00.495 --> 00:11:05.085 And when I see the blood, I will pass over you. 00:11:05.144 --> 00:11:07.365 No destructive plague will touch you. 00:11:07.575 --> 00:11:11.235 When I strike Egypt, we just celebrated Easter. 00:11:11.445 --> 00:11:15.375 We talk, we talk about, and Easter happened on the Passover. 00:11:16.455 --> 00:11:25.154 Folks, it has its roots all the way back in Exodus 12, the Passover, the death angel sees the blood of the lamb on the doorpost of that house. 00:11:25.245 --> 00:11:32.085 It passes over that it doesn't enter that house death is spared in that house cuz they're covered by the blood of the lamb. 00:11:32.955 --> 00:11:37.965 This is what Easter is all about, that we just celebrated and I need you to understand so. 00:11:38.625 --> 00:11:39.644 It wasn't free. 00:11:40.154 --> 00:11:47.894 The, the, the, the, the sacrifice that took place was the life of the lamb, the life of the goat, whatever, that, that was slain. 00:11:48.975 --> 00:11:50.865 But, but you were spared. 00:11:51.375 --> 00:11:52.514 This is what you gotta get. 00:11:52.514 --> 00:11:55.575 This is how it works, this life for that life. 00:11:56.054 --> 00:11:58.095 And, and, and God was willing to do this. 00:11:58.095 --> 00:12:04.455 Now, I, I, if you keep reading in the Book of Exodus, what you find is, is that finally Pharaoh just has had enough and he says, get. 00:12:05.445 --> 00:12:07.034 And he lets him go and that's the Red Sea. 00:12:07.034 --> 00:12:09.134 And then they get out and they wander around the wilderness. 00:12:09.134 --> 00:12:13.664 If you remember this, supposed to take 11 days, it took 40 years cuz they wouldn't follow God. 00:12:13.725 --> 00:12:14.835 And I've talked to you about that. 00:12:15.779 --> 00:12:25.049 But the, then finally, as they're wandering around out there, you know, they're finally gonna make it, but in the meantime, God tells them to do a couple of things and I just need to show you these things. 00:12:25.409 --> 00:12:34.919 So after the initial Passover experience, and, and that was the thing that broke Ferrell's back, he let him go and, and then they get out there and then God says, I want you to do something, lemme show you. 00:12:34.980 --> 00:12:35.549 All right. 00:12:35.879 --> 00:12:37.649 Um, he says, I want you to build. 00:12:38.684 --> 00:12:39.764 I want you to make something. 00:12:39.764 --> 00:12:41.625 I want you to take your hands and your creativity. 00:12:41.625 --> 00:12:45.075 I want you to create something, but I want you to create it very, very carefully. 00:12:45.404 --> 00:12:48.044 And what they're gonna create is a tent. 00:12:48.424 --> 00:12:49.034 A tent. 00:12:49.664 --> 00:12:52.965 It's gonna be called, not a tent, it's gonna be called a tabernacle. 00:12:53.414 --> 00:13:03.825 But, but what it's gonna be used for is that in, in the midst of their wandering around the wilderness, this tint is gonna be used as the place where God's gonna be in their midst. 00:13:04.215 --> 00:13:07.215 God's gonna dwell in the sanctuary of the tabernac. 00:13:07.865 --> 00:13:11.115 And, and whenever they move, they're gonna pack up the Tabernacle, the tent. 00:13:11.384 --> 00:13:15.134 But I wanna show you something that God said when they made this tent. 00:13:15.615 --> 00:13:18.794 All right, so this comes from Exodus 25, 8. 00:13:19.844 --> 00:13:20.144 Ha. 00:13:20.174 --> 00:13:27.974 Then have them make a sanctuary for me and I will dwell among them, make this tabernacle and all its furnishings. 00:13:28.004 --> 00:13:31.274 Exactly like the pattern I will show you. 00:13:31.424 --> 00:13:38.264 You're not just creating a tent, you're gonna make this tent and you're gonna organize it exactly as I tell you, cuz it's gonna represent something. 00:13:38.264 --> 00:13:39.734 You'll see that in just a moment. 00:13:40.094 --> 00:13:44.924 The second thing God told them to do is annually, every day on that same. 00:13:45.705 --> 00:13:47.445 That we celebrated that first Passover. 00:13:47.445 --> 00:13:51.705 We're gonna celebrate that Passover feast again and again, and again and again. 00:13:51.884 --> 00:13:53.684 And to this very day. 00:13:53.955 --> 00:13:58.065 That thing is celebrated to this very day now. 00:13:58.070 --> 00:14:01.215 Now, Jewish people, it's a big deal. 00:14:01.215 --> 00:14:01.845 All right? 00:14:02.024 --> 00:14:06.164 We ha have a different celebration built on the Passover. 00:14:06.164 --> 00:14:07.274 We call Easter. 00:14:07.634 --> 00:14:11.384 These are directly related, and I need you to understand this, okay? 00:14:12.208 --> 00:14:17.039 Now I'm gonna do, so I'm gonna take you into Leviticus, the third chapter of the third book of the Bible. 00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:26.609 The, actually, the 16th chapter of the book of Leviticus, uh, Leviticus, um, has to do with the priesthood and, and, and how you do things right before God. 00:14:26.669 --> 00:14:27.929 Levi, okay. 00:14:28.078 --> 00:14:34.259 So Leviticus, and, and you'll remember Aaron and, and the family of Levi, they're gonna be the priest. 00:14:34.259 --> 00:14:36.029 They're the only ones who get to be the priest. 00:14:36.389 --> 00:14:37.200 This is very important. 00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:38.100 You understand this. 00:14:38.429 --> 00:14:40.409 So let me show you Leviticus chapter 16. 00:14:40.409 --> 00:14:42.299 Again, we're blitzing, but we're going fast. 00:14:42.720 --> 00:14:44.240 Leviticus 16, three. 00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:48.269 This is how Aaron is to enter the most holy place. 00:14:48.359 --> 00:14:53.219 Now, understand we talking about the tent that there, there's two parts to the tent. 00:14:53.250 --> 00:14:55.799 There's the holy place and the most holy place. 00:14:56.188 --> 00:14:58.859 So this is how Aaron is to enter the most holy place. 00:14:59.129 --> 00:15:03.299 He must first bring a young bull for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering. 00:15:03.784 --> 00:15:07.865 He is to put on the sacred linen tunic, uh, with the linen garments next to his body. 00:15:07.865 --> 00:15:10.774 He is to tie the linen sass around him and put on the linen turbine. 00:15:11.044 --> 00:15:16.235 These are sacred garments, so he must bathe themself with water before he puts them on from the Israelite community. 00:15:16.235 --> 00:15:21.274 He is to take two male goats for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering. 00:15:21.815 --> 00:15:26.794 So, so, so you're gonna clean yourself up, you're gonna put these garments on, and you're gonna take these animals into that place. 00:15:26.794 --> 00:15:31.414 The most holy place Aaron is to offer, this is verse six, Aaron is to offer the. 00:15:32.549 --> 00:15:36.870 For his own sin offering to make atonement for himself and his household. 00:15:36.899 --> 00:15:38.549 He is a guilty sinner. 00:15:38.669 --> 00:15:40.649 He's coming into the presence of a Holy God. 00:15:40.679 --> 00:15:43.259 First thing he has to do is he has to take care of his own sin. 00:15:43.438 --> 00:15:48.730 So I'm gonna sacrifice this animal on behalf of myself and my household for the wrong we've done. 00:15:48.975 --> 00:15:54.105 All right, then he is to take the two goats and present them before the Lord. 00:15:54.105 --> 00:16:02.835 At the entrance to the tent of meeting, he is to cast lots for the two goats, one lot for the Lord, and one lot for the scapegoat. 00:16:03.735 --> 00:16:09.284 Aaron shall bring the goat whose lot falls to the Lord and sacrifice it. 00:16:09.960 --> 00:16:24.120 Uh, for a sin offering, but the goat chosen by lot as the scapegoat will, shall be presented alive before the Lord to be used for making atonement by sending it into the wilderness as a scapegoat. 00:16:25.049 --> 00:16:26.850 You maybe always wondered where that came from. 00:16:26.850 --> 00:16:27.629 That's where that came from. 00:16:27.629 --> 00:16:28.250 But here's the idea. 00:16:28.514 --> 00:16:29.563 Yeah, Aaron. 00:16:29.563 --> 00:16:38.595 First you take care of your own sins, but then you're gonna take, you got two goats, you're gonna put your hands on the head and you're gonna cast the sin of the people onto the heads of the goats. 00:16:38.865 --> 00:16:42.705 One of those is gonna be slaughtered, one's gonna be sin out into the wilderness. 00:16:42.914 --> 00:16:47.144 One's gonna represent the, the sacrifice of, of this life. 00:16:47.144 --> 00:16:49.235 For that, the other one's gonna represent. 00:16:49.235 --> 00:16:50.804 The idea of these sins are gone. 00:16:50.804 --> 00:16:52.095 They're carried away. 00:16:52.245 --> 00:16:53.264 They're taken out. 00:16:53.744 --> 00:16:55.304 All right, so you do that. 00:16:55.333 --> 00:17:03.703 If you jump down to verse 20, it says, when Aaron has finished making atonement for the most holy place, the tender meeting and the altar, he shall bring forward the live goat. 00:17:03.703 --> 00:17:12.193 He has to lay both hands on the head of the live goat and confess over the wickedness and rebellion of the Israelites, all their sins and put them on the goat's head. 00:17:12.315 --> 00:17:16.634 He shall then sin the God away into the wilderness and the care of someone appointed for the task. 00:17:16.693 --> 00:17:22.304 The goat will carry on itself all their sins to a remote place, and the man shall. 00:17:22.898 --> 00:17:26.838 In the wilderness, your sins will be carried away, never to be seen again. 00:17:26.868 --> 00:17:29.148 So we're gonna slaughter one of the goats. 00:17:29.480 --> 00:17:35.000 We're gonna place the sins O of the people on that goat, and we're gonna place the sins on the head of the other goat and we're gonna send 'em out. 00:17:35.000 --> 00:17:39.138 And it has to be the priest who does this in the most holy place. 00:17:39.319 --> 00:17:40.069 All right now. 00:17:41.099 --> 00:17:42.569 Let's jump over to the New Testament. 00:17:42.960 --> 00:17:44.279 Let's, okay, stay with me. 00:17:44.339 --> 00:17:45.619 I'm telling you, this is fa. 00:17:45.779 --> 00:17:47.339 You connect these dots. 00:17:47.339 --> 00:17:49.470 This story will always stick with you. 00:17:50.069 --> 00:17:51.869 I wanna take you to the New Testament. 00:17:51.869 --> 00:17:53.369 I don't wanna take you to the beginning of the New Testament. 00:17:53.369 --> 00:17:57.000 Luke chapter one, we're introduced to a character named John the Baptist. 00:17:57.059 --> 00:17:57.869 John the Baptist. 00:17:57.875 --> 00:18:01.769 You might not know much about John the Baptist, but the thing you need to understand about John the Baptist. 00:18:02.039 --> 00:18:03.029 John the Baptist, was a. 00:18:04.049 --> 00:18:05.309 Most people don't know that. 00:18:05.609 --> 00:18:10.670 Let me show you Luke chapter one, verse five, in the time of Herod, king of Judah, what? 00:18:10.674 --> 00:18:11.880 Herod right. 00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:14.759 This is the Herod in the birth of the story of Jesus. 00:18:14.759 --> 00:18:19.500 This is the Herod who had all the babies killed in Bethlehem in the time of Herod, king of Judah. 00:18:19.500 --> 00:18:20.579 It's the exact same time. 00:18:20.585 --> 00:18:21.119 All right? 00:18:21.509 --> 00:18:26.910 There was a priest named Zacharia who belonged to the priestly division of Abijah. 00:18:27.029 --> 00:18:30.750 His wife Elizabeth, was also a descendant of Aaron. 00:18:31.470 --> 00:18:32.700 Zacharia, Elizabeth. 00:18:32.700 --> 00:18:33.599 They have a child. 00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:34.890 His name is John. 00:18:34.950 --> 00:18:36.569 He is in the lineage of Aaron. 00:18:36.569 --> 00:18:38.039 He is Levi. 00:18:38.220 --> 00:18:40.049 He is a priest. 00:18:41.085 --> 00:18:42.045 Now I wanna show you something. 00:18:42.644 --> 00:18:52.755 If I jump over to Matthew chapter three, as the story continues, we read this, then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John. 00:18:53.325 --> 00:18:57.194 But John tried to deter him saying, I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me? 00:18:57.375 --> 00:19:01.875 And Jesus replied, let it be now for it is proper for us to do this. 00:19:02.109 --> 00:19:04.959 To fulfill all righteousness. 00:19:05.378 --> 00:19:06.549 Then John consented. 00:19:06.549 --> 00:19:09.669 As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. 00:19:09.699 --> 00:19:20.199 At that moment, heaven was open and he saw the spirit of God descending like a dove and a lighting on him and a voice from heaven said, this is my son, whom I love. 00:19:20.469 --> 00:19:21.939 With him, I am well pleased. 00:19:21.944 --> 00:19:23.378 Let me put it to you in different terms. 00:19:23.378 --> 00:19:26.740 This is my firstborn son. 00:19:27.339 --> 00:19:29.199 This is my one and only. 00:19:30.674 --> 00:19:32.575 I want to ask you just a simple, simple question. 00:19:32.865 --> 00:19:40.125 Is there any way possible that John could have baptized Jesus without putting his hands on Jesus? 00:19:40.875 --> 00:19:41.775 The answer is no. 00:19:42.525 --> 00:19:54.075 It doesn't go into any detail, but here you got a priest laying his hands on Jesus and he's gonna baptize him, and he does. 00:19:54.795 --> 00:19:57.375 And as soon as he baptizes him, this voice comes from heaven. 00:19:57.375 --> 00:19:58.634 This is my son. 00:19:59.444 --> 00:19:59.625 All right. 00:20:00.390 --> 00:20:22.289 Can I tell you what happens the very next day, uh, John 1 29 says, the next day, John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, look, the lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, he put his hands on him. 00:20:23.309 --> 00:20:24.660 He's gonna sacrifice. 00:20:24.839 --> 00:20:27.690 He's gonna take his life, but he's also gonna carry away. 00:20:27.839 --> 00:20:28.769 It's gonna be the scape. 00:20:32.549 --> 00:20:33.809 Let's go to Hebrews chapter nine. 00:20:33.809 --> 00:20:37.019 This is where we started, and let's just get in right here. 00:20:37.019 --> 00:20:38.039 Hebrews chapter nine. 00:20:38.069 --> 00:20:39.628 Let's begin reading with verse 11. 00:20:39.634 --> 00:20:41.789 And again, I'm going as fast as I can go without going so fast. 00:20:41.789 --> 00:20:43.019 You go, I have no idea what he's saying. 00:20:43.980 --> 00:20:45.628 I, I wanna show you this. 00:20:45.660 --> 00:20:46.170 All right. 00:20:46.230 --> 00:20:48.960 Now you're gonna be able to understand some stuff in Hebrews chapter nine. 00:20:50.174 --> 00:20:51.045 Begin with verse 11. 00:20:51.375 --> 00:21:04.875 But when Christ came as high priest of the good things that are now already here, he went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle that is not made with human hands. 00:21:04.875 --> 00:21:06.944 That is a not a part of this creation. 00:21:07.095 --> 00:21:15.164 What new and greater tabernacle that will one, not that one, not the one made, but by human hands. 00:21:15.224 --> 00:21:18.105 That was a likeness of something that God said, I want you to make it like. 00:21:19.064 --> 00:21:22.934 That was made after a pattern of a place called Heaven. 00:21:23.474 --> 00:21:29.144 And Jesus didn't enter into that tabernacle, but he entered into that tabernacle. 00:21:30.794 --> 00:21:36.554 He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves like they did in that tabernacle. 00:21:37.064 --> 00:21:37.724 All right? 00:21:38.474 --> 00:21:40.304 Uh, but he entered the most holy place. 00:21:40.919 --> 00:21:49.109 In the heaven of heavens, the most holy place, once for all by his own blood, thus obtaining eternal redemption. 00:21:49.289 --> 00:21:58.049 The blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkle on those who are ceremonially unclean, sanctify them so that they are outwardly clean. 00:21:58.049 --> 00:21:58.230 Amen. 00:21:58.680 --> 00:22:06.750 How much more then will the blood of Christ who through the eternal spirit, offered himself unblemished to God? 00:22:06.839 --> 00:22:13.230 Cleanse our conscience from acts that lead to death so that we may serve the living God? 00:22:13.500 --> 00:22:17.700 For this reason, Christ is the mediator of a new covenant. 00:22:18.464 --> 00:22:31.244 That those who are called and they receive the promised eternal inheritance and, and now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant. 00:22:31.304 --> 00:22:32.984 Do you understand what we're doing here? 00:22:33.914 --> 00:22:47.114 They were killed captive in, in Egypt, a deliverer, a savior came, a redeemer we're held captive in sin, and God sends a rescuer, a deliverer, a redeem. 00:22:47.880 --> 00:22:55.829 A savior, there's a price that's gotta be paid to get you out. 00:22:57.509 --> 00:23:04.170 So something's gonna get slain, so you can be spared, but it's a pattern. 00:23:04.920 --> 00:23:08.099 If you go to Hebrews chapter 10, this the next chapter over. 00:23:09.180 --> 00:23:10.049 I want you to read this. 00:23:10.079 --> 00:23:11.099 11 and 14. 00:23:11.220 --> 00:23:12.720 Sat down to 14 day after. 00:23:13.513 --> 00:23:18.523 Every priest over here stands and performs his religious duties again and again. 00:23:18.825 --> 00:23:23.384 He offers the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. 00:23:24.464 --> 00:23:31.664 But when this priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God. 00:23:32.355 --> 00:23:41.325 And since that time, he waits for his enemies to be made his foot stool for by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever. 00:23:41.329 --> 00:23:42.763 Those who are being made holy. 00:23:43.829 --> 00:23:52.380 So this priest has to go through this process over and over and over again all the time because we keep sinning constantly going through the process. 00:23:53.099 --> 00:24:07.130 This priest, once for all, once for all in, in Hebrews nine 15, it says this, for this reason, Christ is the mediator of a new covenant. 00:24:07.134 --> 00:24:08.759 Not this, it's something new. 00:24:10.034 --> 00:24:15.974 New covenant that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance. 00:24:15.974 --> 00:24:27.314 Something forever God wants to give you now that he, now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant. 00:24:29.384 --> 00:24:35.114 Jesus died to set you free to release you from that which held. 00:24:36.628 --> 00:24:45.480 In fact, uh, or, or in Hebrews 9 22, it says, in fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood and catch this line. 00:24:45.484 --> 00:24:48.990 And without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness. 00:24:48.990 --> 00:24:50.490 Now here, here's our problem with this. 00:24:50.519 --> 00:24:51.839 Uh, let's just call it out. 00:24:52.589 --> 00:24:53.519 We go, that's weird. 00:24:53.730 --> 00:24:54.628 That's just weird. 00:24:55.378 --> 00:24:56.759 It makes no sense to us. 00:24:56.819 --> 00:25:00.359 Why, why, God, why does the deal with the blood, why is it all about blood? 00:25:00.388 --> 00:25:02.398 I mean, I don't personally like blood. 00:25:02.404 --> 00:25:03.419 I don't like seeing blood. 00:25:03.419 --> 00:25:04.388 I don't want to be a p. 00:25:05.430 --> 00:25:06.480 I'm not cut out for that. 00:25:07.279 --> 00:25:08.849 I, I don't, I'm, I'm not drawn to blood. 00:25:08.849 --> 00:25:09.210 Blood. 00:25:09.380 --> 00:25:12.180 Uh, here, here's the, here's the thing though. 00:25:12.630 --> 00:25:13.859 See, here's what they know. 00:25:14.339 --> 00:25:17.309 That, that we have a hard time realizing. 00:25:17.789 --> 00:25:21.660 Uh, if, if you grew up in that culture, blood was all around you. 00:25:21.660 --> 00:25:23.009 It was unavoidable. 00:25:23.015 --> 00:25:24.240 But here's what they all knew. 00:25:24.960 --> 00:25:26.279 Your life is in your blood. 00:25:27.900 --> 00:25:29.579 Your blood is your life. 00:25:29.730 --> 00:25:33.450 You, you see, you, you can live without a lot of things, but you can't live without your blood. 00:25:33.599 --> 00:25:36.059 Your blood is the mechanism of life. 00:25:37.109 --> 00:25:41.369 So when you're gonna take the life of something, you have to take it out of its blood. 00:25:41.759 --> 00:25:43.680 And I know that that's when, that's just weird to us. 00:25:43.680 --> 00:25:45.569 In fact, let me read what one commentator said. 00:25:46.200 --> 00:25:57.013 Uh, this guy John Phillips said, Many look with revulsion on the shedding of blood that forms such an essential feature of the Old Testament religion they consider with equal horror. 00:25:57.019 --> 00:25:59.835 The New Testaments teach in concerning Christ's blood. 00:26:00.075 --> 00:26:13.634 They shutter with abor abhorrent at many of the gospel hymns that emphasize the efficacy of the blood of Christ and those who thus scorn the shed blood have their eyes blinded both to God's blazing ho. 00:26:14.640 --> 00:26:17.250 And to the dreadful nature of sin. 00:26:17.250 --> 00:26:23.609 Sin is a radical and terrible reality that calls for a radical and terrible cure. 00:26:23.789 --> 00:26:25.049 Here's our problem. 00:26:25.230 --> 00:26:26.519 It's our problem's, not with the blood. 00:26:26.519 --> 00:26:28.859 Our problem is we don't want to call sin sin. 00:26:29.039 --> 00:26:30.779 We just think we can get away with anything. 00:26:30.785 --> 00:26:32.759 And folks, we do think we can get away with any. 00:26:32.880 --> 00:26:43.079 We don't think there's ever gonna be a day of reckoning, a day of atoning, a day of accountability that's gonna come before us, where we're gonna stand before God, an answer for the things that we've. 00:26:43.859 --> 00:26:56.640 We just think we're getting a pass on all this stuff that we're doing, and I'm here to tell you as a pastor, not according to the word of God, there will be a day of judgment and, and there will be a day of reckoning coming. 00:26:57.359 --> 00:26:58.769 Hebrews 9 23. 00:26:58.980 --> 00:26:59.819 You can follow me. 00:27:00.569 --> 00:27:06.950 It was necessary then for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these sacrifices. 00:27:06.954 --> 00:27:15.000 But the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these, for Christ, did not enter a sanctuary and made with human hands. 00:27:15.005 --> 00:27:17.099 It was only a copy of the true one. 00:27:17.220 --> 00:27:21.869 He entered heaven itself now to a appear for us in God's presence. 00:27:22.049 --> 00:27:25.740 Nor did he enter heaven to offer himself again and again. 00:27:25.744 --> 00:27:28.200 The way the high priest enters the most holy. 00:27:28.595 --> 00:27:34.295 Every year with blood that is not his own, the goat, the, the, the bull. 00:27:34.565 --> 00:27:38.404 Otherwise, Christ would've had to suffer many times since the creation of the world. 00:27:38.674 --> 00:27:51.484 But he has appeared once for all at the culmination of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of himself, just as people are destined to die once and after that two-face judgment. 00:27:52.144 --> 00:27:55.924 So Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of. 00:27:57.299 --> 00:28:03.420 And he will appear a second time not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him. 00:28:07.769 --> 00:28:13.259 Jesus is this perfect sacrifice, unblemished lamb of God. 00:28:15.539 --> 00:28:22.559 This is not just spoken up in the book of Hebrews, by the way in, in first Peter one 18 it says For you, no. 00:28:23.429 --> 00:28:24.898 It was not with perishable. 00:28:24.898 --> 00:28:38.878 Things such as silver were gold, as worthless as those are that you were redeemed from the empty way of life, handed down to you from your forefathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect. 00:28:39.209 --> 00:28:43.859 He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times. 00:28:43.859 --> 00:28:44.638 For your sake. 00:28:47.714 --> 00:28:48.285 Let me say it again. 00:28:48.285 --> 00:28:54.315 You cannot understand the Bible and you cannot understand God without understanding the concept of sacrifice. 00:28:54.315 --> 00:28:55.184 Let me wrap it up. 00:28:55.605 --> 00:28:56.414 Lemme wrap it up here. 00:28:56.414 --> 00:28:57.674 Here's what's the point. 00:28:58.365 --> 00:28:58.964 Here's the point. 00:28:59.295 --> 00:29:05.565 If you lived in these days, every time you sinned, you had to sacrifice another animal. 00:29:07.815 --> 00:29:09.375 It was just an ongoing process. 00:29:10.214 --> 00:29:20.744 It would be you're clean symbolically, your sin was rolled back while the animal will sacrifice, but, but as soon as you sin again, you're guilty again. 00:29:20.750 --> 00:29:21.914 You gotta go to the same process. 00:29:22.214 --> 00:29:27.253 These priests are doing this over and over and over and over and over, and once a year, once a year. 00:29:27.253 --> 00:29:34.273 On the Day of Atonement, there's a grand and glorious forgiveness service with all the sins that you committed this year. 00:29:35.638 --> 00:29:39.990 Until tomorrow when you start the calendar over and you gotta wait another year. 00:29:41.910 --> 00:29:43.559 That's not the way it is for us. 00:29:44.220 --> 00:29:54.180 We, we have a sacrifice that was once for all and, and, and, and that one sacrifice is, is efficient and effective for every one of us, for every day of our lives. 00:29:54.180 --> 00:30:01.440 It's, it's, it's like the difference between having to, to have, uh, be put on a dialysis machine every day. 00:30:01.440 --> 00:30:03.009 You gotta deal with the cleansing of the. 00:30:04.500 --> 00:30:06.960 Or you can get a new kidney and it'll be covered for you. 00:30:08.519 --> 00:30:09.660 That's what this is about. 00:30:11.190 --> 00:30:18.119 And, uh, I, I want to end this message by just simply asking you, you wanna be forgiven? 00:30:18.210 --> 00:30:19.138 Do you wanna be forgiven? 00:30:19.680 --> 00:30:21.539 You wanna have the assurance that you're forgiven. 00:30:22.829 --> 00:30:27.119 You want to know that you're right with God as far as the east is from the west. 00:30:27.119 --> 00:30:29.069 Do you wanna have your sins taken away from you? 00:30:29.309 --> 00:30:31.500 You know what Hebrews 10, 17 and 18 says. 00:30:33.074 --> 00:30:35.384 They're sins and lawless acts. 00:30:35.444 --> 00:30:43.753 I will remember no more and where these have been forgiven, there is no longer any sacrifice for sin. 00:30:43.964 --> 00:30:45.763 Why is there no sacrifice for sin? 00:30:45.914 --> 00:30:48.224 Because there's no sin to sacrifice for. 00:30:48.523 --> 00:30:51.695 It was carried away, ones and for all. 00:30:53.294 --> 00:30:54.013 Wow.

that, that your sins, you, you were spared because he was slain, that God loved you so much, he was willing to sacrifice for you. 00:32:48.150 --> 00:32:50.279 First Peter three, he's the last verse I'm gonna read. 00:32:51.390 --> 00:33:00.690 And this water symbolizes baptism That now saves you also not the removal of dirt from the body, but the pledge of a clear conscience towards God. 00:33:00.869 --> 00:33:07.589 It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ who has gone into heaven and is at God's right hand with angel's. 00:33:07.589 --> 00:33:09.809 Authorities, powers submission to him. 00:33:12.930 --> 00:33:19.740 God has exalted the sacrificial lamb and he's in heaven, literally. 00:33:20.339 --> 00:33:24.000 On your behalf awaiting your arrival. 00:33:25.589 --> 00:33:26.159 Now what? 00:33:26.579 --> 00:33:28.079 How do we dump into baptism? 00:33:29.189 --> 00:33:31.049 Remember what Easter is about? 00:33:32.369 --> 00:33:36.719 On the night of the Passover, Jesus did the last supper. 00:33:36.779 --> 00:33:37.439 Remember this? 00:33:38.189 --> 00:33:48.689 Remember in preparation for the Passover, and then they crucified him and they buried him. 00:33:49.515 --> 00:33:53.025 And then he rose again on the Passover. 00:33:54.194 --> 00:33:56.654 The lamb was sacrificed. 00:33:57.375 --> 00:33:58.545 You know what baptism is? 00:33:59.234

behalf his sacrifice. 00:34:12.900 --> 00:34:19.139 The, the blood of the land that was slain on the cross in calvary is the blood that wash you pure. 00:34:20.099 --> 00:34:22.349 And, and, and what am I supposed to be covered in blood? 00:34:22.355 --> 00:34:23.400 No, no, no, no. 00:34:23.429 --> 00:34:24.579 Co co baptism. 00:34:24.829 --> 00:34:30.150 Baptism is your identifying it is when you say, I wanna be in him, count me in him. 00:34:30.239 --> 00:34:33.239 And when you go down into that water, you stand in that water, you're going, I'm guilty. 00:34:33.719 --> 00:34:34.349 God, I get it. 00:34:34.349 --> 00:34:39.389 I'm, I'm guilty, but just as you were buried, I will be buried. 00:34:40.199 --> 00:34:53.250 And as you rose from the dead, I cuz he took your sins on him and they killed him, but he was a sacrificial lamb and he came back and you will live. 00:34:53.699 --> 00:34:56.909 And this internal, uh, uh, eternal inheritance. 00:34:56.940 --> 00:34:57.659 What's

doesn't happen without you saying yes. 00:35:16.275 --> 00:35:20.954 God doesn't just break into your house and take over and go, I know you don't want this, but I'm doing it anyway. 00:35:21.375 --> 00:35:21.824 No, no, no. 00:35:22.184 --> 00:35:25.184 You, you have to take the blood. 00:35:25.875 --> 00:35:29.355 Of the lamb and put it on your doorpost and say, not on this house. 00:35:29.505
