Real life presents the Jack Hibbs podcast with intention and boldness to proclaim

2
00:00:05.840 --> 00:00:10.560
truth, equip the saints and impact our culture. Everybody, last time we were

3

together we looked at what is being called the God-Man. What's that all about? Well

4
00:00:15.080 --> 00:00:18.120

welcome back magic. This is what I was gonna say. If you listen if you miss

13
00:01:04.880 --> 00:01:11.240
last week's podcast, you just pause right now. Stop. I promise you stop this

14
00:01:11.240 --> 00:01:15.800
podcast. Stop it. Don't listen to any more of it. Go back and listen to last weeks

15
00:01:16.320 --> 00:01:21.120
and then play this one. If you just play this one, you're you're just gonna get

16
00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:28.600
angry. In fact, I'm not gonna recap. I'm I'm just gonna drop the bomb. Here's the

17
00:01:28.600 --> 00:01:42.080
bomb. In the incarnation of Christ, Christ, the Messiah, the Messiah, the Messiah,

18
00:01:42.080 --> 00:01:51.680
Jesus, the Bible says in Micah chapter 5 verse 2 that his prior to his arrival in Bethlehem

19
00:01:51.680 --> 00:02:03.120
being born, he's eternal God. Isaiah 714, Isaiah 9.6, he's eternal God. Proverbs 30 verse

20
00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:07.960
4, he is the eternal God. God the father, God the son, God the Holy Spirit, the

21
00:02:07.960 --> 00:02:15.840
triunity, plurality, singleness of God. One God, you know, I just read C.S. Lewis

22
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:22.080
in the day and C.S. Lewis said, how do you define a cube? He talked about a cube in the

23
00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:30.320
sides of a cube. It's multiple-sided cube. And for the cube to be a cube, it has to

24
00:02:30.320 --> 00:02:36.200
have all of its sides. And this is a he even said, this is about a bad analogy, because

25
00:02:36.200 --> 00:02:41.400
if you press a two-hearted breaks down, but he said a cube is a cube, but a cube has

26
00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:47.840
its side. It takes sides for it to be a cube. And that's how that's how in a rough way

27
00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:59.040
he says, that's how God is like. There are sides to the deity, the one God, Holy Spirit,

28
00:02:59.040 --> 00:03:04.240
father, son. And of course, the analogy breaks down. That being said, watch this. Here's

29
00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:12.080
the bomb. When Jesus came into the world, lived his life, let's go through the chronology

30
00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:26.040
of this bomb drop. He was the product of the Holy Spirit coming upon Mary and Mary conceives.

31
00:03:26.040 --> 00:03:33.600
In that instant, we have, in my opinion, the greatest miracle that has ever been performed.

32
00:03:33.600 --> 00:03:40.000
I believe it's even greater than salvation itself is that God relegated himself to

33
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:51.480
wear human bones and human skin, human hair. And it was all scientifically determined

34
00:03:51.480 --> 00:03:58.240
at the moment of conception, just like you, just like me. Mary is pregnant in that moment.

35
00:03:58.240 --> 00:04:02.260
She's pregnant in that moment of conception and she will be just as pregnant for all

36
00:04:02.260 --> 00:04:12.240
nine months. A woman who's pregnant doesn't get more pregnant. Jesus is born. And I believe

37
00:04:12.240 --> 00:04:18.360
it's, don't quote me, I'm sorry. I think it's first Timothy 316 that tells us that God

38
00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:29.440
would be incarnated in the flesh so much so. And first Timothy 316, I think it is. That's

39
00:04:29.440 --> 00:04:36.400
the angels would duck at his birthing. They would, they would stare with what the Greek

40
00:04:36.400 --> 00:04:45.600
word means, big eyes and a big mouth shock that God, their creator, Jesus, Hebrews 1,

41
00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:53.040
Christians 1, Christ is their creator, Bible says Jesus created angels. They see him coming

42
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:58.120
into the world in human skin and they're freaking out. You had to check it out. I hope I got

43
00:04:58.120 --> 00:05:10.720
their right verse. He lives a perfect life. Perfect. Why is that important? Because Jesus

44
00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:29.000
had to prove both to us, both to the opposition, Satan, both or now in a try sense of an argument

45
00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:37.400
the law. And what do you mean by that? Well, Jesus lived the life that had to appease

46
00:05:37.400 --> 00:05:44.880
the law, the 10 commandments of God and the spirit of the 10 commandments. In other

47
00:05:44.880 --> 00:05:51.440
words, Jesus could not sin. If Jesus would have sinned, then you disqualified himself from

48
00:05:51.440 --> 00:05:57.960
being our Redeemer. Though he were 100% human, he was 100% God. If Jesus would have sinned,

49
00:05:57.960 --> 00:06:04.520
he would have ceased from being God. That's why the Bible says he was tempted in old

50
00:06:04.520 --> 00:06:11.640
points like us, but yet without sin. So you might ask, was Jesus really tempted then when

51
00:06:11.640 --> 00:06:17.560
he was being tempted? Absolutely. Just like you and I are. But he was victorious in fighting

52
00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:23.120
it because he knew how to use the word of God. Okay. You and I struggle at using the word

53
00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:30.600
of God. We wish we could obey, but we fail at it. So he represents us. Jesus, all the

54
00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:38.040
way I was representing you and I and what does he do? Well, he not only fulfills the law,

55
00:06:38.040 --> 00:06:47.160
but the perfect Jesus now is the big test enters the Garden of Gethsemane and he cries out

56
00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:54.760
and he says, Father, if it's possible, remove this cup from me. What was he saying? His human

57
00:06:54.760 --> 00:07:02.680
fears, his human concerns, his human anguish, his human limitations and a human body. The humanity

58
00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:08.760
of Jesus was saying, Father, if there's any way for mankind to be saved, let's do that instead

59
00:07:08.760 --> 00:07:17.560
of what's ahead of me. Can you relate to this still moment scarcely, can we? This is God the Sun

60
00:07:18.280 --> 00:07:30.520
and this is God the man. And he's talking to his father from your side, from my side. Father,

61
00:07:30.520 --> 00:07:35.320
if there's any other way mankind can be saved, let's do that. If there's any way mankind can buy his

62
00:07:35.320 --> 00:07:40.760
way into heaven, let's just let's go with that. If there's any way that man can be good enough,

63
00:07:41.320 --> 00:07:49.080
religious enough, moral enough, if there's any possible way. And then what was Jesus's

64
00:07:50.120 --> 00:08:00.120
perfect divine incarnated response? It's awesome. Jesus said, and nevertheless,

65
00:08:01.640 --> 00:08:09.320
not my will be done, but your will be done. That's the key. Here's God the Sun feeling everything

66
00:08:09.400 --> 00:08:18.840
that you and I feel and God the Sun because there's no sin nature in him submitted to the will of

67
00:08:18.840 --> 00:08:27.800
the Father in the great Kenosis. He didn't save himself and he obeyed the Father. The Bible says he

68
00:08:27.800 --> 00:08:36.680
obeyed the Father even unto death. So this Kenosis word I brought up last week is this. Jesus laid

69
00:08:36.680 --> 00:08:46.680
aside his supernatural powers always within arms reach. He could have snapped his finger at any

70
00:08:46.680 --> 00:08:55.160
given time. In fact, I'll prove it to you. When in the Garden of the Gisemite Judas in the gang

71
00:08:55.160 --> 00:09:03.320
came to arrest Jesus, what did Peter do? Peter pulled out his knife and lunged forward and cut off

72
00:09:03.560 --> 00:09:12.440
the right ear of Malkus, the servant of the high priest. And the ear goes to the ground and Jesus

73
00:09:12.440 --> 00:09:17.240
picks up the man's ear and puts it back on his head. Man, that'd be awesome to see, wouldn't it?

74
00:09:17.240 --> 00:09:24.360
Peter, I got you, Jesus. Don't worry. Big Peter, I got you, man. I'm your man. There you go.

75
00:09:25.960 --> 00:09:31.000
Can you imagine? Some scholars say I think it's here on the side that says Peter missed

76
00:09:31.800 --> 00:09:37.320
killing the guy and cut off his ear instead. Peter was intending to kill the man, cuts his

77
00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:41.240
ear off. Jesus picks up the guy's ear. I mean, I don't mean to be disrespectful, but I'm sorry,

78
00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:45.960
I see the way this is happening. I've been to the Garden of the Gisemite. That guy's bloody ear

79
00:09:45.960 --> 00:09:54.040
falls on the ground. I wonder if Jesus picked it up and went, puts it back on the guy's head.

80
00:09:54.120 --> 00:10:00.040
That is amazing moments. What did Jesus do right then in there?

81
00:10:01.160 --> 00:10:08.040
Kinosus. He interrupted his physical limitations to put the man's ear back on his head.

82
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:15.480
When Jesus said to the scribes and Pharisees, I know what you're thinking. When the Bible tells us

83
00:10:15.480 --> 00:10:21.080
they said this to Jesus and he knew that they were trying to catch him in his words,

84
00:10:21.080 --> 00:10:27.400
what happened in that moment the Father revealed to Jesus what was going on? Why? Because Jesus

85
00:10:27.400 --> 00:10:33.240
exercised Kinosus. He associated with you and I so much because you and I don't know much,

86
00:10:33.240 --> 00:10:40.040
Dewey. But God revealed to Jesus what was needed in the moment for the cause of God, for the

87
00:10:40.040 --> 00:10:48.200
purposes of God, just like God will reveal to you by what we say is discernment, a word of wisdom

88
00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:55.560
or a word of knowledge. When you and I obey God's word in the situation, we're being just like

89
00:10:55.560 --> 00:11:01.480
Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit. When we disobey the word of God in that moment,

90
00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:07.560
we're being just like us and our fallen nature. See, Jesus didn't suffer that fault in nature.

91
00:11:08.680 --> 00:11:13.080
So here comes the bomb. The bomb is still falling. You can hear it whistling as it's coming down.

92
00:11:13.960 --> 00:11:20.200
When the Bible says, and I mentioned this last week together in 1 Timothy 2, 5, there's one

93
00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:28.040
mediator between man and God that is the man Christ Jesus. Here you go. Here is Jesus Christ,

94
00:11:28.040 --> 00:11:37.080
the Son of God incarnated in human skin, in human flesh, the Christ of the Bible. Here we go.

95
00:11:37.640 --> 00:11:43.000
Jesus is the mediator. What's a mediator for?

96
00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:55.560
What's a go between four? What's a middleman for? The middleman brings two other parties together.

97
00:11:55.640 --> 00:12:11.560
Are you hearing me everybody? If I'm the middleman between Joe and Joe buying a new car from

98
00:12:11.560 --> 00:12:22.840
Ford Motor Company and I'm the broker. I'm the sales guy. I'm the whatever. I'm the middleman.

99
00:12:23.640 --> 00:12:29.720
I bring Joe into the room and I bring Ford Motor Company into the room. We work out a deal.

100
00:12:31.640 --> 00:12:41.560
And I work out that deal. I sign it. The parties sign and it's closed. The deal is closed.

101
00:12:43.960 --> 00:12:45.720
Did you know Jesus did the exact same thing?

102
00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:55.160
Exactly the same thing. Now the bomb hits. For God's soul of the world that he gifted,

103
00:12:55.160 --> 00:13:00.840
gifted, gave his only glorified son. There's no other one and only. No other son's coming.

104
00:13:00.840 --> 00:13:05.400
There's one. There's one that who qualifies to die for the sins of the world. For God's soul of

105
00:13:05.400 --> 00:13:11.080
the world that he gifted his only glorified son that who's so ever would believe on him. Trust

106
00:13:12.040 --> 00:13:19.400
him, sit on him, rely upon him, recline upon him in faith and believe. Would not perish but have

107
00:13:19.400 --> 00:13:28.280
eternal life, everlasting life. How does he do that? Jesus is the mediator. Here comes Jesus

108
00:13:28.280 --> 00:13:37.080
pulls to him. If I be lifted up, I shall draw all men to myself. In other words, you can't even

109
00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:45.560
meet God. You can't talk to God unless you consider Jesus. If I be lifted up, signifying that's

110
00:13:45.560 --> 00:13:50.040
how they termed resurrection. How did Jesus know that? How did Jesus know he was going to be

111
00:13:50.040 --> 00:13:56.920
resurrected? Kenosis. In that moment, God the Father gave him the understanding you're going to

112
00:13:56.920 --> 00:14:05.480
die in the cross. You're going to be crucified for it is written. See, you know that. I know that

113
00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:14.680
now. Jesus knew it for all eternity, but when he, Kenosis laid it aside, he laid aside knowing

114
00:14:14.680 --> 00:14:24.600
certain things, doing certain things, unless God the Father and God the Spirit intervened and gave

115
00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:37.000
him insight or gave him understanding. Wow. Sound familiar? So Jesus brings the lost sinner, you,

116
00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:43.000
me, to him. By the way, Jesus is, nobody comes to the Father unless I draw him. It also says

117
00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:50.120
in Scripture, there's a dualism. Nobody comes to the Father unless I draw him. The Bible also

118
00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:57.480
implies that nobody can come to Christ unless the Spirit draws him. In fact, you might even say

119
00:14:57.480 --> 00:15:04.520
there's a triune argument to that because Jesus then says in John's Gospel, nobody can come to me

120
00:15:04.520 --> 00:15:14.840
unless the Father calls them. Wow. Of course, it didn't surprise you because this is how God works

121
00:15:14.840 --> 00:15:24.360
when God saves you. Who's God? Father, Son, Holy Spirit. So Jesus pulls to him the lost world

122
00:15:25.640 --> 00:15:34.360
because Jesus dies on the cross and one, listen, one of the multitude of things that him

123
00:15:34.360 --> 00:15:39.560
dying on the cross and being resurrected from the dead provides is that Jesus is the mediator

124
00:15:39.640 --> 00:15:47.080
and brings lost sinners. Jesus died for man. Here you go. Jesus died for God also. You say what?

125
00:15:47.080 --> 00:15:51.480
And I can hear the brakes slamming on. People are screaming. Your hair just caught fire.

126
00:15:51.480 --> 00:15:59.720
We're talking pure theology here. We're talking about atonement. What is atonement? Christ is our atonement.

127
00:15:59.720 --> 00:16:07.960
He is our salvation. He is our sacrifice. Is he not? But our sacrifice not only died. He rose

128
00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:11.960
again from the dead. That's what the book of Hebrews is all about. We have a high priest who not only

129
00:16:11.960 --> 00:16:21.800
is the sacrifice. He's also the priest. So when you say Jesus died for God, what sins did God have?

130
00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:29.080
I didn't say that. God has no sin. So what are you saying then? If Jesus died for God and Jesus

131
00:16:29.080 --> 00:16:38.520
died for man, that sounds crazy. Let me explain. The mediator mediates. He introduces himself to

132
00:16:38.520 --> 00:16:44.840
the lost world, tells them what he did on the cross and invites them to experience salvation.

133
00:16:45.640 --> 00:16:53.240
All those who will come to me, I will not turn away. He gets you, but what does it mean by Jesus

134
00:16:53.240 --> 00:17:06.200
died for God? See this book? See all this? What is this called? Yes, yes, the Bible. What else do we

135
00:17:06.200 --> 00:17:12.200
call it? Oh, man, I wish I would have thought I was going to do this today. I got a Bible for Christmas.

136
00:17:12.200 --> 00:17:20.680
You should see it. It's red. It's blood red leather on the outside. Blood red. Oh, my gosh. It's

137
00:17:20.680 --> 00:17:27.080
awesome. It's from London. It doesn't say anything on the cover, anywhere, like most

138
00:17:27.080 --> 00:17:32.520
Bible say, Holy Bible. This one says Holy Bible right here. Do you know what it says? It only says

139
00:17:32.520 --> 00:17:42.040
one statement on the binding on the side. It says the word of God. It's incredible. I got to show it to

140
00:17:42.040 --> 00:17:50.440
you sometime. Jesus is the logos. He is the word of God. It is the word of God who cries out to

141
00:17:50.440 --> 00:17:58.760
the sinner and pulls the sinner to himself. And it's God the Son who calls out to the promises

142
00:17:58.760 --> 00:18:08.440
of who and what he is representing the God had. And Jesus pulls all the promises of God, the prophecies

143
00:18:08.440 --> 00:18:19.240
of God, the redemption of God, the salvation of God, the atonement of God, all that God did for mankind.

144
00:18:19.880 --> 00:18:28.200
Jesus pulls the Godhead in. The mediator is in the middle. He brings the promises. Watch this.

145
00:18:29.960 --> 00:18:36.760
And he activates the promises. This is so fundamental yet profound yet we never think of it.

146
00:18:38.440 --> 00:18:45.400
Jesus, all the promises of God are yes and amen in Christ Jesus says the Scriptures.

147
00:18:46.200 --> 00:18:54.600
How does that happen? Because Jesus died and rose again from the dead to activate and fulfill

148
00:18:54.600 --> 00:18:59.000
and to bring to pass the promises of God in the believer's life.

149
00:19:03.080 --> 00:19:05.720
Jesus is the catalyst to the promises of God.

150
00:19:05.880 --> 00:19:15.880
Before Christ died on the cross, the Bible promised that God would remove the sins of Israel. But how?

151
00:19:18.280 --> 00:19:24.520
Before Christ died and rose again from the grave, God had made the promises that God would

152
00:19:24.520 --> 00:19:29.800
forgive Israel's sins. It's the book of Isaiah that says that God would forgive the Gentiles

153
00:19:29.960 --> 00:19:35.880
their sins by faith. It's Hebacuch 214. That says, the just shall live by faith.

154
00:19:37.240 --> 00:19:49.240
The Old Testament, can I say it this way, borrowed from the future on credit. Abraham was saved

155
00:19:49.880 --> 00:19:57.960
looking ahead to the cross. You and I look back at the cross. We draw from that bank, Abraham

156
00:19:58.600 --> 00:20:07.160
believed that there would be a future deposit in that bank. And you and I go and look at the

157
00:20:07.160 --> 00:20:16.680
history passed 2,000 years ago and we withdraw from that bank. Abraham and you meet at the same moment

158
00:20:17.800 --> 00:20:23.480
based on what Christ did. When Jesus died on the cross, He fulfilled the prophecies of God

159
00:20:23.960 --> 00:20:31.640
regarding redemption, atonement, salvation, so tearyology.

160
00:20:34.360 --> 00:20:41.560
In that sense, Jesus died for God. Not that God needed a Savior. God didn't need forgiveness.

161
00:20:41.560 --> 00:20:47.880
God didn't need help. No, no, no. Jesus is the answer to the promises of God.

162
00:20:48.760 --> 00:20:54.040
Without Jesus coming, there'd be no salvation for the Jew. There'd be no salvation for the Gentile.

163
00:20:54.040 --> 00:21:00.520
Without Jesus coming, there would be no empowerment among the lost sinners, the salvation of God.

164
00:21:05.400 --> 00:21:11.080
Jesus is the mediator. Jesus died for God to activate the promises of God. The sinless

165
00:21:11.080 --> 00:21:20.840
Christ activates the sinless promises of the sinless God for us. Jesus takes hell,

166
00:21:21.480 --> 00:21:29.320
damnation, and guilt and shame from the sinner and washes away their sins by his blood.

167
00:21:29.320 --> 00:21:38.040
He fulfills the law, satisfying God's righteousness. He pays the blood bought sin of mankind's

168
00:21:38.120 --> 00:21:46.120
transgressions and sin, and He brings us both together. That's why Jesus is the last Adam.

169
00:21:47.240 --> 00:21:54.760
The first Adam was a transgressor. Well, they'll do respect. Let's just remove Eve from the whole

170
00:21:54.760 --> 00:22:00.680
dynamic. Forget about Eve. So yeah, wait a minute. She's sinned first. That's right. She's sinned first.

171
00:22:01.640 --> 00:22:08.040
Adam didn't sin. I can hear you gasping for air right now. What did you just say?

172
00:22:08.040 --> 00:22:15.000
The Bible says again in Timothy, Adam didn't sin. He did not sin. Eve sinned. Adam did something

173
00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:23.960
worse. The Bible says Adam transgressed. The Bible says Eve was deceived. Not Adam. She said,

174
00:22:23.960 --> 00:22:31.320
what? Yep. Eve sinned because she did what she wasn't supposed to. She crossed the line and then,

175
00:22:31.320 --> 00:22:38.280
oh my gosh, did I make a mistake? And there was no way back for her. Adam shows up. He looks at God

176
00:22:39.080 --> 00:22:45.240
and he looks at Eve. This is why he's the last. This is why he's the first Adam and Jesus is the

177
00:22:45.240 --> 00:22:53.080
second Adam. Watch this. First Adam looks at God. Looks at Eve. Looks at God looks at Eve.

178
00:22:55.960 --> 00:23:00.600
What's he going to do? He's perfect. Adam is not a sinner at that moment.

179
00:23:02.840 --> 00:23:10.200
Adam chose to partake of the fruit. He transgressed. He thought about it. Eve,

180
00:23:11.080 --> 00:23:23.080
Eve tripped out into sin. Adam is looking at Eve the sinner and God the Holy. Adam is in,

181
00:23:23.080 --> 00:23:29.080
so to speak, in between two worlds. He's fine with God. Adam is fine. Did you know that probably

182
00:23:29.080 --> 00:23:36.600
Eve would have eventually died as she did? God probably would have brought a new creation of Eve.

183
00:23:36.600 --> 00:23:42.840
He probably would have recreated Eve because Adam was perfect. So Adam could have said, wow.

184
00:23:44.200 --> 00:23:48.280
God, look at her. Do what you need to do. I'm with you.

185
00:23:50.680 --> 00:23:55.080
I believe Adam was torn and conflicted and he chose love.

186
00:23:55.800 --> 00:24:08.840
He chose love for Eve over love for God and in a sense, not fully, but in a sense, Jesus Christ

187
00:24:08.840 --> 00:24:15.400
came as a human being. He died in the cross for our sins and rose again from the dead because he loved

188
00:24:15.400 --> 00:24:20.760
the entire whole world. Those who believe him and trust him are called the bride of Christ

189
00:24:21.640 --> 00:24:31.080
in the church age right now, right? And he redeemed us. Jesus didn't sin against the Father when

190
00:24:31.080 --> 00:24:40.280
he chose to die for you. Jesus lived out perfectly the love of God to humanity in our redemption

191
00:24:40.280 --> 00:24:47.320
and at the same time he lived out perfect obedience to God the Father in his humanity and thereby

192
00:24:47.320 --> 00:24:53.800
satisfied the demands of the law. The law now has no bone to pick with anybody because the law

193
00:24:53.800 --> 00:25:00.440
now has so to speak, it's tummy full or you could say the bank was filled up. It couldn't be,

194
00:25:00.440 --> 00:25:05.000
couldn't receive anymore deposits because Christ is all and in all.

195
00:25:07.720 --> 00:25:16.360
So the law is satisfied. So to speak Moses says, all right, I'm good. Moses representing the law.

196
00:25:18.120 --> 00:25:24.840
The Father satisfied because the Father is just the Holy Spirit's just the Son is just we need

197
00:25:24.840 --> 00:25:32.040
justice for all the sin from Eve forward. Jesus fixed that at the cross and rose again from the dead.

198
00:25:32.040 --> 00:25:41.480
Done. But what about those poor sinners? Not a problem. Book of Romans, Isaiah, Galatians makes it very

199
00:25:41.480 --> 00:25:51.160
clear. God will take the righteousness of his son, the human, at the cross and yet because death

200
00:25:51.160 --> 00:25:56.600
could not hold him in the ground. Death circled Jesus. Look at it every bit of him trying to find sin.

201
00:25:57.400 --> 00:26:02.840
Could not find any grave couldn't hold him resurrected from the dead.

202
00:26:03.240 --> 00:26:13.080
All of that work Christ work is then given to any man or woman boy or girl who would trust Christ

203
00:26:13.080 --> 00:26:20.440
for their soul and salvation, the gospel. You see how stupid it is to try to impress God? You know,

204
00:26:20.440 --> 00:26:26.920
stupid it is for you to try to be good enough so that God might love you. That's disgusting.

205
00:26:27.480 --> 00:26:36.200
We are so, so messed up when we try to bring the inf of a degree of righteousness thinking that

206
00:26:36.200 --> 00:26:43.160
God will accept us now or I pray to now or God must love me. That is sick thinking. You cannot

207
00:26:43.160 --> 00:26:51.240
pimp his love. You cannot barter with him like he's some sort of a smart businessman. That is so,

208
00:26:51.880 --> 00:26:59.480
so disgusting. That's why God hates self-righteousness and human religion disgusting. So I

209
00:26:59.480 --> 00:27:06.920
got to wrap this up. Watch this. Jesus Christ pulls sinners to Himself. Jesus Christ pulls the

210
00:27:06.920 --> 00:27:13.880
Godhead to Himself and in doing so, Jesus Christ the mediator, a top Mount Mariah on the cross,

211
00:27:14.680 --> 00:27:23.000
died for both God and man to bring us together. He is the great intercessor, the great redeemer.

212
00:27:24.120 --> 00:27:32.520
He is the great Christmas gift that we just celebrated this last December, every single day. He is

213
00:27:32.600 --> 00:27:45.720
these things and you need to celebrate Him. So Jesus in wrapping up the great keynosis of Christ is

214
00:27:45.720 --> 00:27:53.640
that Jesus willingly laid aside those 40 days of fasting when He was hungry. Satan knew this. Satan

215
00:27:53.640 --> 00:27:59.320
said, why don't you turn these stones into bread? Why does Satan say that? The Bible says in fact,

216
00:27:59.320 --> 00:28:05.240
Satan was tempting him. Think why did Satan say it? Because Jesus could have done it.

217
00:28:07.160 --> 00:28:13.960
The moment he would have done it, you would have been damned forever because Satan would have

218
00:28:13.960 --> 00:28:22.440
gotten through to Jesus. Jesus would have ceased trusting the Father, used his own powers to turn

219
00:28:23.160 --> 00:28:34.440
the rocks into a pastry, into a bakery. Satan takes them to the pinnacle of the temple and say,

220
00:28:34.440 --> 00:28:41.480
what if you throw yourself down? Doesn't the book of Psalms say that he'll cause angels to

221
00:28:41.480 --> 00:28:49.480
bury you up, lest you dashed your foot against this stone? Satan used the Bible to attack Jesus.

222
00:28:50.440 --> 00:28:56.840
Jesus turned right around and attacked Satan with a miss... Satan misquoted the scripture.

223
00:28:58.440 --> 00:29:03.960
Jesus quotes it correctly back to him and by doing so defeats the temptation. What's he doing?

224
00:29:05.000 --> 00:29:10.600
Jesus is being tested and proven to be perfectly God in human skin. That's how you're redeemed.

225
00:29:11.480 --> 00:29:17.080
Don't ever forget it. That's why we love Him.

226
00:29:20.200 --> 00:29:24.680
I hope this makes some sense to you again. If you didn't watch the first episode of this,

227

228
00:29:29.720 --> 00:29:34.440
you. What a God we have in Jesus' name. Amen.
