00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.840
Real life presents the Jack Hibbs podcast with intention and boldness to proclaim

2
00:00:05.840 --> 00:00:09.320
truth, equip the saints and impact our culture.

3
00:00:09.320 --> 00:00:12.040
You're not going to find this in any other religious writings.

4
00:00:12.040 --> 00:00:14.360
Buddha didn't come to service.

5
00:00:14.360 --> 00:00:16.680
Muhammad didn't come to service.

6
00:00:16.680 --> 00:00:21.360
Lenin didn't come to service. Confucius didn't come to service.

7
00:00:21.360 --> 00:00:25.960
God spanned the greatest distance.

8
00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:32.680
Come into this world to serve the lost.

9
00:00:32.680 --> 00:00:39.200
You can get the outlines of this podcast by going to jackhibbs.com slash podcast.

10
00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:45.120
Today, if this podcast lifts you up and encourages you to live a more fulfilled life in Christ,

11
00:00:45.120 --> 00:00:48.360
then make sure you leave us one of those five star ratings.

12
00:00:48.360 --> 00:00:54.960
To us, that's like saying amen or yes, then that rating will encourage others to listen.

13
00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:58.320
Now open your hearts to what God's word has to say to you.

14
00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:00.880
Here is Jack Hibbs.

15
00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:01.960
This is what the Bible says.

16
00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:03.600
And you test to see if this is true.

17
00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:07.200
Ponder this. Listen, friends, if you're hearing this for the first time,

18
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:12.560
judge this new testament statement here in Romans 15 verse 8 against old testament

19
00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:15.000
prophets and see if it's not true.

20
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:18.200
How's that?

21
00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:21.160
To me, that is just so beautiful and so amazing about God.

22
00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:24.120
Because you don't have to have luck.

23
00:01:24.120 --> 00:01:27.760
You don't have to, you don't have to hang on to somebody else's faith.

24
00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:30.000
God says you have to have your own.

25
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:35.480
And God expects you to use your brain and your wherewithal to find out if these things are true.

26
00:01:35.480 --> 00:01:41.440
Is it great? I just love God's opinion of you and your ability to pursue truth

27
00:01:41.440 --> 00:01:44.720
is much greater than I think you have of yourself.

28
00:01:44.720 --> 00:01:48.680
Because we have this tendency to like sit there and be spoon fed.

29
00:01:48.720 --> 00:01:54.520
And God says, no, I made you with the ability to investigate.

30
00:01:54.520 --> 00:01:57.840
You get up and you go find out.

31
00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:01.400
It's kind of like just God challenging you.

32
00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:03.360
This is what I say.

33
00:02:03.360 --> 00:02:05.680
Test me to see if it's true.

34
00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:07.600
That's what he's announcing to you.

35
00:02:07.600 --> 00:02:13.440
Well, you know, somebody said and she said and he said and they said, forget about them.

36
00:02:13.440 --> 00:02:16.040
What did you find out from what God has said?

37
00:02:16.040 --> 00:02:17.840
That's beautiful.

38
00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:24.440
And right here in the scripture, he is saying, Jesus is the Messiah and he has come to be a servant

39
00:02:24.440 --> 00:02:31.000
first to those who are of the circumcision for the truth of God.

40
00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:34.960
A great, great statement and this word here, be coming.

41
00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:39.120
I'm going to give you some of these announcements or declarations we can put it this way.

42
00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:41.160
You guys good? You guys all right?

43
00:02:41.160 --> 00:02:42.880
Okay, here we go. John chapter one.

44
00:02:42.880 --> 00:02:45.320
Look at this. John one in the beginning.

45
00:02:45.320 --> 00:02:48.440
Oh, by the way, this is written, it says John in English.

46
00:02:48.440 --> 00:02:51.280
This is Johanine.

47
00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:52.280
This is the guy.

48
00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:53.280
Johanine.

49
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:54.280
This is John.

50
00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:55.480
See, what do you say that?

51
00:02:55.480 --> 00:02:58.960
Because he's a Jew.

52
00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:04.520
I was almost Jewish there a second ago because he's a Jew.

53
00:03:04.520 --> 00:03:06.600
Listen to Johanine.

54
00:03:06.600 --> 00:03:12.760
He says in the beginning was the word, the word was with God and the word was God.

55
00:03:12.760 --> 00:03:17.160
He was in the beginning that is of the physical creation of physical things.

56
00:03:17.160 --> 00:03:21.320
With God, verse three, all things were made through him and without him nothing was made

57
00:03:21.320 --> 00:03:22.320
that was made.

58
00:03:22.320 --> 00:03:27.800
Verse four, in him was life and the life was the light of men, verse 14.

59
00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:32.960
And the word became flesh and dwelt among us.

60
00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:38.120
He became flesh, folks, and dwelt among us.

61
00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:44.880
That is a Christian necessity to believe in, to be a follower of Christ.

62
00:03:44.880 --> 00:03:49.640
He dwelt among us and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the

63
00:03:49.640 --> 00:03:52.680
Father, full of grace and truth.

64
00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:54.160
Wow.

65
00:03:54.160 --> 00:03:58.840
First Timothy chapter three, verse 16, first Timothy three, 16 says this, this is one of

66
00:03:58.840 --> 00:03:59.840
my favorite verses.

67
00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:00.840
You guys know this.

68
00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:04.280
And without controversy, ain't no debate.

69
00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:05.680
That's how I put it.

70
00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:07.000
You want to talk about it?

71
00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:12.120
Let's talk about it, but we're not going to debate it because it's not to be one or

72
00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:13.360
lost.

73
00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:14.360
Watch.

74
00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:19.680
What he's about to say is, that's the answer.

75
00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:20.680
It is.

76
00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:22.200
Well, let's talk about it.

77
00:04:22.200 --> 00:04:23.520
Go ahead.

78
00:04:23.520 --> 00:04:24.520
Let's argue it.

79
00:04:24.520 --> 00:04:25.520
Sure.

80
00:04:25.520 --> 00:04:26.520
Let's argue it.

81
00:04:26.520 --> 00:04:30.440
At the end of the day, that's what it is, it kind of sounds like a parent.

82
00:04:30.440 --> 00:04:36.480
You can do whatever you say, but at the end of the day, you will take out the dress.

83
00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:40.680
You didn't give me all the reasons why, because you got an A. You don't have to take up

84
00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:41.680
the trash.

85
00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:45.920
But when you're all done arguing this, you're just wasting your time because you will take

86
00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:48.040
out the trash.

87
00:04:48.040 --> 00:04:50.480
God is saying, argue all you want.

88
00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:54.720
At the end of the day, great is the mystery of Godliness.

89
00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:55.720
Here it is.

90
00:04:55.720 --> 00:04:59.640
God was manifested in the flesh.

91
00:04:59.640 --> 00:05:04.040
Can you guys like go crazy over that?

92
00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:11.680
There's no faith, there is no religion on the planet that says this.

93
00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:14.160
And yet it's not a New Testament doctrine.

94
00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:16.480
It's recorded in the New Testament.

95
00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:19.920
It is declared in the old.

96
00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:25.480
He says, and he uses the word servant here, that Jesus Christ would be the servant of

97
00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:32.400
the circumcised of the Jewish people, starting their first.

98
00:05:32.400 --> 00:05:34.040
Look what that word means.

99
00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:37.520
Again, you're not going to find this in any other religious writings.

100
00:05:37.520 --> 00:05:40.480
Buddha didn't come to service.

101
00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:44.520
The gods of Hinduism didn't come to service.

102
00:05:44.520 --> 00:05:46.920
Muhammad didn't come to service.

103
00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:49.400
Just whatever you're thinking.

104
00:05:49.400 --> 00:05:51.280
Lenin didn't come to service.

105
00:05:51.280 --> 00:05:54.880
Confucius didn't come to service.

106
00:05:54.880 --> 00:06:04.080
God spanned the greatest distance coming into this world to serve the lost.

107
00:06:04.080 --> 00:06:05.600
Watch this.

108
00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:11.200
The word means to serve or to be a servant, to be a minister, to serve others.

109
00:06:11.200 --> 00:06:15.240
When you read your Bible, do you not get the greatest example of serving one another

110
00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:18.080
from Jesus, him, self?

111
00:06:18.080 --> 00:06:19.880
Wow.

112
00:06:19.880 --> 00:06:22.520
And then John chapter 4, verse 22.

113
00:06:22.520 --> 00:06:28.000
This is a very important verse to have memorized at a time like this, because of all the crazy

114
00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:31.440
stuff that's going on in the world around us.

115
00:06:31.440 --> 00:06:36.840
John 4, verse 22, Jesus is speaking to the woman at the well, she's a Samaritan, and Jesus

116
00:06:36.840 --> 00:06:41.480
says, for salvation is of the Jews.

117
00:06:41.480 --> 00:06:47.800
Listen, I'm going to tell you straight up, and by the way, leave that on the screen, everybody.

118
00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:51.760
Just because you and I are living in the last days, and the rhetoric is what's out there,

119
00:06:51.760 --> 00:06:55.840
which is, as I said a moment ago, today being the international day of prayer for the

120
00:06:55.840 --> 00:07:00.480
persecuted church, to not talk about it doesn't mean it's going away.

121
00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:01.480
Do you hear me?

122
00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:05.880
To say, I don't want to pray, I don't want to acknowledge that Christians are being slaughtered

123
00:07:05.880 --> 00:07:08.400
right now, doesn't change a thing.

124
00:07:08.400 --> 00:07:09.840
And so we pray.

125
00:07:09.840 --> 00:07:16.600
In the same fashion, the Bible says Jesus said it himself, for salvation is of the Jews.

126
00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:21.240
The word means salvation originates with the Jews, meaning this.

127
00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:29.680
God gives his gospel, God gave his gospel 2,000 years ago, first to the Jewish people,

128
00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:32.480
to Jerusalem, to Israel.

129
00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:34.200
You cannot deny that.

130
00:07:34.200 --> 00:07:38.720
At the end of the day, you're going to take out the trash.

131
00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:41.320
It's pure truth.

132
00:07:41.320 --> 00:07:47.720
And so while everybody's talking about what they're talking about, you can just blow a whole

133
00:07:47.720 --> 00:07:53.560
bomb, intellectual bomb, up in the argument saying, well, you know, Jesus did say salvation

134
00:07:53.560 --> 00:07:54.880
is of the Jews.

135
00:07:54.880 --> 00:07:55.880
Boom!

136
00:07:55.880 --> 00:08:01.160
We'll explain what this means in a moment, but very quickly, it doesn't mean that because

137
00:08:01.160 --> 00:08:07.480
salvation is of the Jews, every Jew is going to heaven, that's not what it means.

138
00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:13.000
It means that the message of the gospel was given to God's chosen people, the Jewish people,

139
00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:17.200
to take that message to the ends of the earth.

140
00:08:17.240 --> 00:08:20.800
The nation was given that opportunity.

141
00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:28.520
The nation, look at it this way, its politics rejected it.

142
00:08:28.520 --> 00:08:36.160
And the Bible says in Romans 9, 10 and 11, they rejected it, but not forever.

143
00:08:36.160 --> 00:08:41.840
But in the meantime, individual Jews for the last 2,000 years come to Christ.

144
00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:43.960
Did you know that?

145
00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:46.880
This is important to understand that.

146
00:08:46.880 --> 00:08:55.240
No other nation on earth outside of Israel has had this opportunity, but like America, I

147
00:08:55.240 --> 00:09:03.200
say, but like the United States has taken up at one time of our history and gave the gospel

148
00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:05.200
out to the ends of the earth.

149
00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:12.120
It doesn't mean the nation is saved, but individuals within that nation can be saved.

150
00:09:12.120 --> 00:09:13.640
Are you hearing me?

151
00:09:13.680 --> 00:09:19.680
Right now, the Jewish nation is in unbelief, exactly as Ezekiel said they would be, until

152
00:09:19.680 --> 00:09:23.440
Christ would start to work on them again in the last days.

153
00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:29.200
But there are Jews coming to faith in Messiah every day, hope that makes some sense to you.

154
00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:35.400
There's national, there's national salvation, there's national judgment that God has promised

155
00:09:35.400 --> 00:09:37.240
regarding the nation of Israel.

156
00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:42.840
But personal salvation, Nicodemus, Nicodemus was a member of a nation that rejected the

157
00:09:42.840 --> 00:09:48.120
Messiah, but Nicodemus himself winds up accepting the Messiah because we see him taking the

158
00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:53.560
body of Jesus down from the cross with Joseph of Arimathea and bearing him in the tomb.

159
00:09:53.560 --> 00:09:54.560
Amazing.

160
00:09:54.560 --> 00:09:55.560
Keep that in mind, everybody.

161
00:09:55.560 --> 00:09:58.560
There's great hope and excitement in all of that.

162
00:09:58.560 --> 00:10:03.680
Philippians chapter 2, verse 6, who, being in the form of God, speaking of Jesus, did

163
00:10:03.680 --> 00:10:09.040
not consider it robbery or something to try to get, to be equal with God.

164
00:10:09.040 --> 00:10:10.040
He didn't have to try.

165
00:10:10.040 --> 00:10:15.600
He was, but made himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bond servant and coming

166
00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:17.960
in the likeness of man or mankind.

167
00:10:17.960 --> 00:10:19.520
Is that awesome?

168
00:10:19.520 --> 00:10:21.760
You might say, well, I think Jesus was a very important person.

169
00:10:21.760 --> 00:10:24.680
He uses a lot of people to say that.

170
00:10:24.680 --> 00:10:32.600
Right here the Bible says that Jesus Christ came in the likeness of humans.

171
00:10:32.600 --> 00:10:34.840
Just that statement should wake you up.

172
00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:41.560
Look, you and I did not decide to come to this world like a human.

173
00:10:41.560 --> 00:10:44.400
You are going to be a human if you like it or not.

174
00:10:44.400 --> 00:10:51.640
Your mom and dad got together and you came out and it wasn't going to be a puppy.

175
00:10:51.640 --> 00:10:54.800
They didn't know if they were going to have a dockson or a chihuahua, but they were waiting

176
00:10:54.800 --> 00:10:55.800
to see what you were.

177
00:10:55.800 --> 00:10:56.800
No, no, no.

178
00:10:56.800 --> 00:10:58.560
They knew what would be coming out.

179
00:10:58.560 --> 00:11:03.560
It would be either you boy or you girl, but you human you.

180
00:11:03.560 --> 00:11:06.360
That's the one that comes out.

181
00:11:06.360 --> 00:11:12.440
God sends his son into the world just like us.

182
00:11:12.440 --> 00:11:16.960
By the way, if you want to go in deeper in a theological course and a seminary, guess

183
00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:20.240
who Jesus didn't die for?

184
00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:23.360
He didn't die for angels.

185
00:11:23.360 --> 00:11:27.280
You mean Satan, know the demons that were deceived and were cast into hell?

186
00:11:27.320 --> 00:11:31.720
They don't get a chance to accept Jesus.

187
00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:36.120
Zip, not a net, nope.

188
00:11:36.120 --> 00:11:39.520
Wow, he died for us.

189
00:11:39.520 --> 00:11:44.680
He didn't, listen, he didn't come as an angel.

190
00:11:44.680 --> 00:11:52.080
The next time you are down about your self-worth, you ought to think about what he thinks about you.

191
00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:55.600
And so being found in the appearances of man, he humbled himself and became obedient to

192
00:11:55.640 --> 00:11:58.880
the point of death, even the death of the cross.

193
00:11:58.880 --> 00:12:01.080
Isn't that a remarkable declaration?

194
00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:03.480
This is what Jesus chose to do.

195
00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:07.320
Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of the Bible prophecy.

196
00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:15.560
Colossians chapter 2 verse 8 tells us this, beware, let's anyone cheat you through philosophy

197
00:12:15.560 --> 00:12:22.320
and empty deceit according to the traditions of men, according to the basic principles

198
00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:30.040
of the world and not according to Christ, for in him dwells all the fullness of the God

199
00:12:30.040 --> 00:12:31.040
had.

200
00:12:31.040 --> 00:12:37.040
Wow, what does this mean, God had means one God, three persons.

201
00:12:37.040 --> 00:12:41.520
Go figure that out and when you figure it out, come and tell me because nobody knows

202
00:12:41.520 --> 00:12:44.160
how to explain it.

203
00:12:44.160 --> 00:12:51.400
And you are complete in him who is the head of all principality and power.

204
00:12:51.400 --> 00:12:55.440
All authority belongs to Jesus, the Bible announces us.

205
00:12:55.440 --> 00:13:00.720
And the Messiah would be promised, and I'm saying all this, I'm laying this down because

206
00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:06.040
that verse 8 talks about him being a servant, a minister to the circumcision, to the glory

207
00:13:06.040 --> 00:13:09.200
of God, to the Jewish people.

208
00:13:09.200 --> 00:13:14.720
The Messiah was the promised one who had come out of Zion, Romans chapter 11.

209
00:13:14.720 --> 00:13:16.040
Watch this, this is awesome.

210
00:13:16.040 --> 00:13:23.600
Verse 11 verse 25, blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles

211
00:13:23.600 --> 00:13:24.840
has come in.

212
00:13:24.840 --> 00:13:29.400
Man, I wish we had the time to talk about this.

213
00:13:29.400 --> 00:13:34.680
The nation has been blinded by God because of their unbelief.

214
00:13:34.680 --> 00:13:39.240
Individual Jews are coming to Christ as they come to Christ.

215
00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:46.400
There's a time coming when the last Gentile that God knows will say, yes to Jesus and

216
00:13:46.400 --> 00:13:47.400
the fullness.

217
00:13:47.400 --> 00:13:48.600
See the word fullness?

218
00:13:48.600 --> 00:13:51.720
It means, I know this sounds, it's going to hard to imagine.

219
00:13:51.720 --> 00:13:59.680
But imagine God having a counter in its going.

220
00:13:59.680 --> 00:14:04.000
Every time a Gentile accepts the Lord, the number goes up.

221
00:14:04.000 --> 00:14:06.400
You know how you're watching the national debt?

222
00:14:06.400 --> 00:14:07.400
You know that thing?

223
00:14:07.400 --> 00:14:08.400
Don't watch it.

224
00:14:08.400 --> 00:14:10.240
It'll give you a heart attack.

225
00:14:10.240 --> 00:14:12.200
And that thing's going to be...

226
00:14:12.200 --> 00:14:15.080
Right, imagine there is a number.

227
00:14:15.080 --> 00:14:17.760
We do not know, maybe we'll never know God knows.

228
00:14:17.760 --> 00:14:24.920
God knows that there is a number that when that last Gentile accepts the Lord, all right,

229
00:14:24.920 --> 00:14:27.840
shows over.

230
00:14:27.840 --> 00:14:32.840
Next chapter, next act.

231
00:14:32.840 --> 00:14:37.160
The fullness of the Gentiles is complete or full.

232
00:14:37.160 --> 00:14:41.840
Wow, if you're that person today, will you please accept Jesus now?

233
00:14:41.840 --> 00:14:44.600
You say, well what if I am or not?

234
00:14:44.600 --> 00:14:48.120
Look because we don't know except Christ today.

235
00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:53.320
Repent of your sins, receive Him, let's get out of here.

236
00:14:53.320 --> 00:14:54.320
And so all...

237
00:14:54.320 --> 00:15:00.240
Look, look, when that happens, look at verse 26, and so all Israel will be saved as it

238
00:15:00.240 --> 00:15:04.560
is written, the deliver will come out of Zion.

239
00:15:04.560 --> 00:15:07.600
And he will turn away ungodliness from Jacob.

240
00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:13.200
For this is my covenant with them when I take away their sins.

241
00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:14.200
Wow.

242
00:15:14.200 --> 00:15:15.200
Next verse.

243
00:15:15.200 --> 00:15:16.200
I think we have another one.

244
00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:17.200
Yeah, Luke 2.

245
00:15:17.200 --> 00:15:22.520
And there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon, and this man was just in devout waiting

246
00:15:22.520 --> 00:15:26.640
for the consolation of Israel, a title of the Messiah, folks.

247
00:15:27.240 --> 00:15:30.760
Okay, you got to stop right there, 2,000 years ago.

248
00:15:30.760 --> 00:15:38.600
It is recorded that there's a Jewish man, old man, who believes, call him crazy.

249
00:15:38.600 --> 00:15:42.440
He believes that the consolation of Israel is soon coming.

250
00:15:42.440 --> 00:15:44.960
The Messiah is on his way.

251
00:15:44.960 --> 00:15:45.960
Watch.

252
00:15:45.960 --> 00:15:46.960
This is all we know so far.

253
00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:48.080
We haven't read the rest of it.

254
00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:49.560
Why would you think this way?

255
00:15:49.560 --> 00:15:51.080
What's this guy thinking?

256
00:15:51.080 --> 00:15:54.040
After all, he's an old man, maybe he's kind of lost it.

257
00:15:54.040 --> 00:15:56.160
Let's see.

258
00:15:56.160 --> 00:16:02.360
He's waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.

259
00:16:02.360 --> 00:16:04.520
That's the answer.

260
00:16:04.520 --> 00:16:10.480
And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before

261
00:16:10.480 --> 00:16:14.760
he would see the Lord's Messiah, the Christ.

262
00:16:14.760 --> 00:16:17.200
So he came by the Spirit into the temple.

263
00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:18.200
Wow.

264
00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:23.520
And when the parents, that's Joseph and Mary, brought in the child Jesus to do for him according

265
00:16:23.520 --> 00:16:25.440
to the custom of the law.

266
00:16:25.440 --> 00:16:32.160
He took him up in his arms and blessed God and said, Lord, now you are letting your servant

267
00:16:32.160 --> 00:16:35.320
depart in peace according to your word.

268
00:16:35.320 --> 00:16:41.200
For my eyes have seen your salvation, which you have prepared before the face of all,

269
00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:42.880
what is that word?

270
00:16:42.880 --> 00:16:45.960
People's, what's another word for people's in the Bible?

271
00:16:45.960 --> 00:16:46.960
Thank you.

272
00:16:46.960 --> 00:16:47.960
Nations.

273
00:16:47.960 --> 00:16:48.960
What?

274
00:16:48.960 --> 00:16:49.960
Nations.

275
00:16:49.960 --> 00:16:54.640
Salvation is of the Jews first.

276
00:16:54.640 --> 00:16:59.040
And to the nations, wow.

277
00:16:59.040 --> 00:17:05.960
Verse 32, a light to bring revelation to the Gentiles and the glory of your people, Israel.

278
00:17:05.960 --> 00:17:07.720
You'll see that?

279
00:17:07.720 --> 00:17:14.920
To the Gentiles that's maybe all of us and to the Jewish people as well.

280
00:17:14.920 --> 00:17:20.800
All peoples, the Messiah, Jesus is for all.

281
00:17:20.800 --> 00:17:23.760
We're not inviting you to join the church or a club.

282
00:17:23.760 --> 00:17:26.200
We're inviting you to meet Jesus Christ.

283
00:17:26.200 --> 00:17:28.000
Well, I'm an Arab.

284
00:17:28.000 --> 00:17:30.600
And meet Jesus Christ.

285
00:17:30.600 --> 00:17:33.520
I'm a Hispanic.

286
00:17:33.520 --> 00:17:34.520
Meet Jesus Christ.

287
00:17:34.520 --> 00:17:35.520
I'm Caucasian.

288
00:17:35.520 --> 00:17:36.520
Meet Jesus Christ.

289
00:17:36.520 --> 00:17:37.520
Fill in the blank.

290
00:17:37.520 --> 00:17:38.520
I don't care what.

291
00:17:38.520 --> 00:17:39.520
Do it.

292
00:17:39.520 --> 00:17:41.000
Father, we praise you.

293
00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:42.280
We praise you for your word.

294
00:17:42.280 --> 00:17:45.120
We thank you for your truth.

295
00:17:45.120 --> 00:17:47.080
May our foundation be Bible.

296
00:17:47.080 --> 00:17:50.560
Nothing but the Bible, so help us God.

297
00:17:50.560 --> 00:17:56.160
We be a people full of the Holy Spirit, the knowledge of the Word of God, the wisdom

298
00:17:56.160 --> 00:18:05.760
of God, knowing and understanding that for God's soul of the world, that He gifted, gave,

299
00:18:05.760 --> 00:18:18.040
His only begotten Son, that who so ever, anybody who would believe on Him would not perish,

300
00:18:18.040 --> 00:18:21.200
but have everlasting life.

301
00:18:21.200 --> 00:18:31.280
Lord right now, in this room or around the world, may someone, somewhere say, Jesus, thank

302
00:18:31.280 --> 00:18:33.240
you for dying for my sins.

303
00:18:33.240 --> 00:18:34.600
I want to be forgiven.

304
00:18:34.600 --> 00:18:36.120
I want to be made new.

305
00:18:36.120 --> 00:18:37.760
I want to be born again.

306
00:18:37.760 --> 00:18:39.720
I want to live forever with you.

307
00:18:39.720 --> 00:18:41.720
I want my sins washed away.

308
00:18:41.720 --> 00:18:46.240
I want my name written down in the Lamb's Book of Life.

309
00:18:46.240 --> 00:18:57.960
I want to have someone, something greater to live for than my meager life, someone something

310
00:18:57.960 --> 00:19:04.040
so great that you're worthy of my life.

311
00:19:04.040 --> 00:19:13.120
Let it be, Lord, we pray in Jesus' name and all God's people said, Amen.
