00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:31.240
 If you have your Bibles, and I hope you do, I want to invite you to join us in Matthew

00:00:31.240 --> 00:00:38.900
 chapter 2 as we continue on in our Christmas series. As you turn there, I also want to welcome

00:00:38.900 --> 00:00:44.300
 our first-time guest. So glad and so privileged that you were able to be here with us this morning.

00:00:44.300 --> 00:00:48.340
 I hope you got here and enough time to get some of the goodies that were out there. And by the way,

00:00:48.420 --> 00:00:53.740
 thank you for everyone who brought and contributed to that. I know that we were all blessed. But for

00:00:53.740 --> 00:00:58.620
 our first-time guests, we're so grateful that you are here. After the service is over with, we're

00:00:58.620 --> 00:01:02.960
 actually going to have a vote on our church budget for next year. And so after the service is over

00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:07.740
 with, Pastor Dave's going to come up here to walk our congregation through that. And so Aaron and I

00:01:07.740 --> 00:01:11.140
 will actually head out into the lobby. That's my wife. And so for our first-time guests, if you want

00:01:11.140 --> 00:01:15.080
 to come out there, we would love to be able to speak with you, greet you, welcome you. If you have

00:01:15.080 --> 00:01:20.560
 any questions about us as a church, we would be happy to answer those for you. For everyone here,

00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:26.060
 whether you're a first-time guest or whether you're a member, there's these December, January date cards

00:01:26.060 --> 00:01:30.400
 of all the things going on at Willow Ridge Church. You want to make sure that you pay special attention

00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:34.180
 to that. There are a lot of things that are going on each and every week at our church during this time

00:01:34.180 --> 00:01:39.200
 of year. That's a little bit different than our normal schedule. So we want to point you to those,

00:01:39.340 --> 00:01:43.980
 encourage you. If you would like to, we would love to have you for our Christmas Eve service this

00:01:43.980 --> 00:01:49.020
 Wednesday at 5 30. Everyone in the service together. We're going to do the Lord's Supper

00:01:49.020 --> 00:01:53.080
 together. We're going to have a special time for our kids down front. Be a wonderful time and would

00:01:53.080 --> 00:01:59.380
 love for you to come and be a part of that. And then also next Sunday, December 28th, we will gather

00:01:59.380 --> 00:02:04.900
 together for our church-wide prayer breakfast and would love for each and every one of you to come

00:02:04.900 --> 00:02:09.820
 and be a part of that. It'll start, the breakfast time will start at 9 50 that morning. We've got

00:02:09.820 --> 00:02:15.980
 grits, eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes. We're going to do some chocolate chip pancakes this year to kind

00:02:15.980 --> 00:02:20.440
 of mix it up a little bit with the plain and the chocolate chip as well. We will have some fruit for

00:02:20.440 --> 00:02:24.820
 those of you that want something else other than carbs and protein, which I do not understand. But if

00:02:24.820 --> 00:02:30.280
 you would like that, that'll be there as well. And so, and obviously juice and a lot of coffee. We'd love

00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:35.300
 you guys to come. It'll be a little bit different. We'll have breakfast together as a church family and

00:02:35.300 --> 00:02:39.800
 then we'll have a time of worship. And then instead of having a message, we'll have a time

00:02:39.820 --> 00:02:45.620
 of prayer as we come together for the upcoming year for allow you to have an opportunity to pray as

00:02:45.620 --> 00:02:51.300
 individuals, as families, but joining together as the family of God that he has for us at Willow Ridge

00:02:51.300 --> 00:02:56.720
 Church in that time of prayer. But as we go into our message time, I'm going to read to you a verse

00:02:56.720 --> 00:03:01.560
 that we look at in our passage this morning. It's Isaiah 53 verses 4 through 6.

00:03:01.820 --> 00:03:07.040
 Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows, yet we esteemed him stricken,

00:03:07.040 --> 00:03:12.120
 smitten by God and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions and he was crushed

00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:18.940
 for our iniquities. Upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace and with his wounds we are

00:03:18.940 --> 00:03:27.760
 healed. All we like sheep have gone astray and we have turned everyone to his own way. And the Lord

00:03:27.760 --> 00:03:35.500
 has laid on him the iniquity of us all. Would you pray with me? God, as we come into this season

00:03:35.500 --> 00:03:41.160
 and this time of Christmas, Lord, there's so many reasons that we have to celebrate.

00:03:42.780 --> 00:03:49.140
 Lord, we come and we're reminded of the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ, but the journey that his

00:03:49.140 --> 00:03:56.220
 life will take him, which will go to the cross. And so, God, as we look at all the reasons to celebrate

00:03:56.580 --> 00:04:13.080
 is the victory that we have through Christ, through the price that he paid and eternal life is given.

00:04:14.260 --> 00:04:19.900
 God, may you be glorified in all that is done and all that is said to the glory of your name.

00:04:20.700 --> 00:04:23.700
 And it's in Jesus' name we pray. Amen. Amen.

00:04:24.340 --> 00:04:30.440
 Well, only a few days left. Here's my question for you. Is everyone ready for Christmas?

00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:38.420
 I heard a lot of kids say yes. Parents, grandparents, are you ready for Christmas?

00:04:38.420 --> 00:04:47.900
 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Presence bought? Yeah. Are all your presents wrapped?

00:04:50.420 --> 00:04:58.260
 Overachievers, right? Kids, letters to Santa sent? No, no, all right, we got to work on that.

00:04:59.260 --> 00:05:07.640
 Decorations out? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Gatherings planned? Gatherings planned? Movies watched?

00:05:07.640 --> 00:05:13.520
 Movies watched? Movies watched? Or are you kind of working through that with us? Yeah, we're doing that

00:05:13.520 --> 00:05:17.460
 at the Bradbury house. How many of you are tired of Christmas music on the radio?

00:05:20.520 --> 00:05:27.400
 Never, never. There you go. In 1963, I like finding out the history of different things. I'm a nerd like

00:05:27.400 --> 00:05:36.620
 that. In 1963, a song came out about Christmas called It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year. Not written by,

00:05:36.860 --> 00:05:42.400
 recorded by, recorded by Andy Williams. And if you go through and you listen to the song, it lists all of

00:05:42.400 --> 00:05:48.880
 the activities that we would associate and think about concerning, especially with the secular aspects

00:05:48.880 --> 00:05:56.820
 of Christmas. And in the title, it kind of encompasses everyone, regardless if you're a Christian or not,

00:05:56.820 --> 00:06:02.720
 whether the feeling that we're told, the feeling that we believe, the people that want us

00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:10.980
 to know that right now, it is the most wonderful time of the year.

00:06:12.660 --> 00:06:14.940
 And while I love this time of year,

00:06:15.460 --> 00:06:18.780
 I would argue there's no bigger kid at heart

00:06:18.780 --> 00:06:20.160
 than I am.

00:06:21.300 --> 00:06:28.780
 In fact, every year since my kids were small, I'm the first one up on Christmas morning, waking

00:06:28.780 --> 00:06:34.500
 everyone up about 4 a.m. to come downstairs and see what the surprises are.

00:06:35.840 --> 00:06:43.220
 One year, as the pastor of this church, I made a statement. And the statement was,

00:06:43.320 --> 00:06:51.280
 kids, on Christmas morning, get up whenever you want to and wake your parents up because it's Christmas

00:06:51.280 --> 00:06:59.360
 morning. That day, around 4.30 in the morning, I got a text message from Daniel and Leslie Howard

00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:07.220
 letting me know not only that their kids were awake, but that when they were told,

00:07:07.380 --> 00:07:11.840
 maybe we need to go back to bed for a little while, they said, no, Pastor Bo said we could get up

00:07:11.840 --> 00:07:18.240
 this early. So that's my gift to the Howard family every year, every year, right?

00:07:19.820 --> 00:07:25.700
 I love it. I love it. I love this time of year. I love the time that we spend together.

00:07:26.200 --> 00:07:32.360
 I love the traditions that we build. In fact, this weekend has kind of encompassed a lot of that for

00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:37.980
 us in our family. Erin had a great idea. I don't know if she found this online or if she just kind

00:07:37.980 --> 00:07:42.780
 of came up with it herself. But as we watch Christmas movies, and we kind of have those dedicated Christmas

00:07:42.780 --> 00:07:50.160
 movies that we watch together, she finds a meal that is prepared in the movie. And then the night

00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:56.300
 that we're going to watch that movie, right, we eat that meal together that's associated with the movie.

00:07:57.000 --> 00:08:01.540
 And so, like, when we watch, like, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, right, it's turkey and jello,

00:08:01.760 --> 00:08:07.240
 right? Like, that's what we eat. Tonight, we're going to watch the Christmas story.

00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:11.000
 Tonight, we're going to watch the Christmas story. And so, we're going to have meatloaf and mashed potatoes,

00:08:11.100 --> 00:08:16.140
 right? So, this is what we do. We love it. Friday night for us, we gathered in our living room

00:08:16.140 --> 00:08:20.760
 together. We watched the Christmas cartoons, the ones that we love. We watched Mickey's Christmas

00:08:20.760 --> 00:08:25.720
 Carol. We watched Peanuts Christmas, Charlie Brown. We watched The Grinch. We watched Frosty,

00:08:25.780 --> 00:08:31.100
 some of our favorites. Last night, we watched White Christmas. I know that's an old one for a lot of

00:08:31.100 --> 00:08:35.880
 you, but that's kind of a new one for our house, and we watched that. And then tonight, you know,

00:08:35.940 --> 00:08:42.040
 we'll gather together. We'll go put on our PJs. We'll gather downstairs on the couch with the dogs,

00:08:42.040 --> 00:08:47.860
 like everybody piled into the room, you know, and we'll watch a Christmas story. It's a great time

00:08:47.860 --> 00:08:53.580
 of year. It's a time of year every year where memories are made, traditions are established.

00:08:55.200 --> 00:08:56.740
 I absolutely love it.

00:08:59.260 --> 00:09:09.620
 But what happens, especially for us as believers, what happens when that phrase, like the Christmas

00:09:09.620 --> 00:09:19.880
 spirit that we're told to have, isn't quite there for you? What if that song, it's the most wonderful time

00:09:19.880 --> 00:09:30.180
 of the year, doesn't quite hit home the way it has in the past? What happens when the brokenness

00:09:30.180 --> 00:09:44.300
 of this world affects the happiness of a season? I'm not trying to bring discouragement to you this

00:09:44.300 --> 00:09:51.660
 morning. There's lots of things we have to be encouraged about and blessed about. But the reality

00:09:51.660 --> 00:10:01.820
 is for a lot of us in this room, as joyful as we are in Christ, this time of year can just be hard.

00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:13.580
 Maybe it's the loss of a job. Maybe it's a struggle in your marriage. Maybe it's a child who is

00:10:13.580 --> 00:10:23.120
 rebelling. Maybe it's financial struggles that you're enduring. Maybe it's a diagnosis or a sickness that

00:10:23.120 --> 00:10:30.700
 you're facing or someone close to you is facing. Maybe it's the death of a loved one. Your first

00:10:30.700 --> 00:10:36.960
 Christmas without them. Or maybe, as we've experienced here with even in the life of our

00:10:36.960 --> 00:10:43.760
 church, within the last several weeks or several months, you've buried someone who you love dearly.

00:10:45.100 --> 00:10:55.240
 You see, it's easy for us to sit back and put on this false notion that because we celebrate a holiday,

00:10:56.480 --> 00:11:03.340
 that the reality of our life is it's the most wonderful time of the year.

00:11:04.680 --> 00:11:09.540
 But in the brokenness of this world, there's difficulty that surrounds that.

00:11:10.900 --> 00:11:17.180
 If you're not saved, if you're not a follower of Jesus and you're here because you're curious, you're here because you have

00:11:17.180 --> 00:11:24.500
 questions, what I want to share with you is this, is that becoming a believer and follower of Jesus Christ does not

00:11:24.500 --> 00:11:32.780
 mean that we are set free, that we don't experience, that we don't walk through the struggles and the things that we

00:11:32.780 --> 00:11:38.800
 face with this world. Now when we look at the Christmas story, when we look at what we've been

00:11:38.800 --> 00:11:44.740
 looking at, where Josh began to walk us through the coming and the birth of our Lord and Savior

00:11:44.740 --> 00:11:51.520
 Jesus Christ, it is absolutely a story that's filled with good news. And just as the good news of the

00:11:51.520 --> 00:11:59.060
 gospel rang true on that very first Christmas, just as the truth of the gospel was not determined by the events of this

00:11:59.060 --> 00:12:04.920
 world, the truth of the gospel is real today. In the midst of all that you're facing, in the midst of all that you're going

00:12:04.920 --> 00:12:13.840
 through, Christ came, he lived, he died, he resurrected, he ascended, and he will come back again. And everyone who put their

00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:22.720
 faith or hope and trust in him can cling to that. And we see the joy in that first Christmas. We see the good

00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:27.900
 news of the gospel. We see Jesus. We see it with Mary. We see it with Joseph. We see it with the angels. We see it with the

00:12:27.900 --> 00:12:35.580
 shepherds. We see it with the wise men. But in the back half of Matthew chapter 2, the passage that we're going to look at this

00:12:35.580 --> 00:12:42.240
 morning, also kind of the part that gets left off in this Christmas narrative is a little bit darker side of the

00:12:42.240 --> 00:12:52.780
 story. But what we'll see this morning is that the good news of the gospel still reigns. We'll see a corrupt ruler who

00:12:52.780 --> 00:13:01.660
 calls for the murder of the innocent. We'll see a family who runs for their lives. But through it all, through it

00:13:01.660 --> 00:13:11.300
 all, God is good and God has a plan. You know, if you're here this morning and you're walking through

00:13:11.300 --> 00:13:20.840
 the midst of the struggles of the world, isn't it relieving to know that our joy is not found in our

00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:29.480
 situations, but our joy is found in the person of Christ? Our joy is not found in the outcomes of the

00:13:29.480 --> 00:13:37.080
 brokenness of this world, but our joy is found in the one who will save us from the brokenness of this

00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:45.460
 world. That Christ is the shepherd of the 23rd Psalm. In Matthew's gospel in verses 13 through 23,

00:13:46.420 --> 00:13:53.160
 Matthew gives us three prophetic messages about Christ from the Old Testament that I hope that the Lord can

00:13:53.160 --> 00:14:02.560
 use for you in this moment, in this morning to remind you or to bring you joy, even in the difficulty in

00:14:02.560 --> 00:14:08.240
 your seizing of suffering. Our passage begins this morning with where we left off last week.

00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:14.740
 The wise men have come and they have visited Jesus. They have left him his three gifts that they have

00:14:14.740 --> 00:14:24.240
 brought. And they were warned in a dream by God to return a different way than they came. Because Herod,

00:14:24.340 --> 00:14:29.720
 even though he had told them that he wanted to come and worship this king of the Jews, Jesus, that they

00:14:29.720 --> 00:14:36.600
 were looking for, that Herod had ulterior motives. And he didn't want to come to worship Jesus. He wanted

00:14:36.600 --> 00:14:43.660
 to come to come to kill him. So they leave by a different manner than which they came. And verse 13

00:14:43.660 --> 00:14:49.180
 picks up in that story. So would you join me, Matthew 2, read verses 13 through 15.

00:14:50.620 --> 00:14:57.000
 Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said,

00:14:57.140 --> 00:15:03.900
 rise, take the child and his mother and flee to Egypt and remain there until I tell you. For Herod is

00:15:03.900 --> 00:15:09.540
 about to search for the child to destroy him. And he rose and took the child and his mother by night

00:15:09.540 --> 00:15:17.160
 and departed to Egypt and remained there until the death of Herod. This was to fulfill what the Lord

00:15:17.160 --> 00:15:26.820
 had spoken by the prophet. Out of Egypt came my son. So we'll see this phrase three times in this section

00:15:26.820 --> 00:15:34.900
 of Matthew to fulfill what the Lord had spoken. So when the wise men leave, God gives Joseph a dream.

00:15:35.640 --> 00:15:43.140
 And he tells Joseph in this dream to take Mary and to take Jesus and to go to Egypt and to stay there

00:15:43.140 --> 00:15:50.560
 until God tells him to return. He tells him that Herod seeks to kill Jesus. So Joseph does what God has

00:15:50.560 --> 00:15:58.680
 called him to do and he flees to Egypt. I mean, just imagine of all of what it looks like to raise a young

00:15:58.680 --> 00:16:07.300
 child. And in this moment of all of what they've gone through, to in the moment to pack up, to move,

00:16:07.820 --> 00:16:16.040
 to leave, to flee to a foreign land. Not for a better job, not for better finances,

00:16:16.040 --> 00:16:27.100
 but because the life of your family is at stake. And so what we find here, though, in the midst of

00:16:27.100 --> 00:16:35.320
 this, the prophetic word of God is that through Jesus, there is freedom. Through Jesus, there is freedom.

00:16:36.280 --> 00:16:42.940
 Verse 15 is the prophecy. This was to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet saying,

00:16:42.940 --> 00:16:50.900
 out of Egypt I called my son. This prophecy is found in Hosea 11.1, where it says just that,

00:16:51.140 --> 00:17:00.560
 when Israel was a child, I loved him. And out of Egypt I called my son. This Old Testament prophetic

00:17:00.560 --> 00:17:07.720
 passage pointing to Jesus, the Messiah, being fulfilled in this moment through the course of

00:17:07.720 --> 00:17:16.560
 history as given to us by God's word. So how is fleeing to Egypt freedom? I would say this morning,

00:17:16.560 --> 00:17:22.600
 it's not the going to Egypt that it will be significant. It was what will come from Egypt

00:17:22.600 --> 00:17:29.900
 that will show who Jesus is and what Jesus will do. When we look at the story of the entire

00:17:29.900 --> 00:17:35.060
 concept of the Bible, what the Bible is teaching us, what the Bible is showing us, and we're reminded

00:17:35.060 --> 00:17:42.340
 of what God has done specifically through the Exodus, where God had delivered his people

00:17:42.340 --> 00:17:51.520
 through his plan from slavery in Egypt. And in that, God used 10 miracles in the form of plagues

00:17:51.520 --> 00:17:58.680
 in order to get Pharaoh to release them in order to do so. There's water to blood, the frogs,

00:17:58.680 --> 00:18:04.360
 the gnats, the flies, the livestock, the boils, the hail, the locusts, the darkness, all of these

00:18:04.360 --> 00:18:12.880
 for Pharaoh over and over again to let God's people go and the refusal to do so. But then the final one

00:18:12.880 --> 00:18:18.240
 that God would use, we find in Exodus chapter 12, that God would strike down the firstborn in the land

00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:26.660
 of Egypt. But God gave a way for people to escape this death sentence. And God called his people,

00:18:26.820 --> 00:18:34.540
 the Israelites, that the blood of the lamb on the doorposts and the lentils of their door. And that when God saw

00:18:34.540 --> 00:18:42.580
 the blood of the lamb on the door of their blood, that he would pass by and he would save that house.

00:18:43.860 --> 00:18:50.000
 And following this would come the Exodus, where God would deliver his people and give them

00:18:50.000 --> 00:18:59.120
 their freedom from Egypt. And so what we find here in Matthew 2, that what will come from Egypt,

00:18:59.620 --> 00:19:07.120
 that God will send his son, and not to just paint a picture of what the old Exodus was,

00:19:07.780 --> 00:19:14.740
 but to paint a picture of the new Exodus that was to come. And that the freedom bringer,

00:19:15.800 --> 00:19:26.580
 Jesus himself would come from Egypt, and he would save people, as Matthew 1, 21 tells us, from their sin.

00:19:27.520 --> 00:19:40.880
 Freedom from what enslaves all of mankind. It'll be through his life and death and burial and resurrection

00:19:40.880 --> 00:19:49.560
 that we will find our freedom. And it's not through blood on a doorframe,

00:19:49.560 --> 00:19:56.100
 but through the blood of the lamb that our guilt will be made innocent.

00:19:57.020 --> 00:20:04.580
 And the truth of the gospel of what we find. And so in the midst of the horror, in the midst of the terror,

00:20:04.960 --> 00:20:10.280
 in the midst of the panic, in the midst of the uncertain, God says,

00:20:10.420 --> 00:20:17.620
 Joseph, take your family to Egypt, because I'll call my son from it.

00:20:18.580 --> 00:20:23.500
 And it'll be through his Exodus. It'll be through the freedom that he brings,

00:20:24.160 --> 00:20:27.760
 that life will be possible.

00:20:29.060 --> 00:20:32.940
 Continue with me in Matthew 2, verses 16 through 18.

00:20:35.240 --> 00:20:35.560
 It says,

00:20:35.740 --> 00:20:38.940
 Then Herod, when he saw that he had been tricked by the wise men,

00:20:39.680 --> 00:20:40.860
 became furious.

00:20:41.780 --> 00:20:45.140
 And he sent and killed all the male children in Bethlehem,

00:20:46.020 --> 00:20:49.420
 and in all that region who were two years old or younger,

00:20:49.820 --> 00:20:53.460
 according to the time that had been ascertained from the wise men.

00:20:54.060 --> 00:20:59.060
 Then what was fulfilled was spoken by the prophet Jeremiah.

00:20:59.860 --> 00:21:04.920
 A voice was heard in Ramah, weeping in loud lamentation.

00:21:05.960 --> 00:21:10.820
 Rachel, weeping for her children, she refused to be comforted,

00:21:10.880 --> 00:21:13.180
 because they are no more.

00:21:14.080 --> 00:21:15.480
 So Herod sees what happens.

00:21:16.200 --> 00:21:18.700
 He's figured out, the wise men didn't come back to me.

00:21:18.900 --> 00:21:22.120
 These magi from the east, they didn't come and give me this report.

00:21:22.120 --> 00:21:24.160
 So he realized he had been tricked.

00:21:25.120 --> 00:21:28.440
 And so he decided that if he couldn't find out specifically

00:21:28.440 --> 00:21:30.840
 who this king of the Jews was,

00:21:31.500 --> 00:21:33.440
 then he decided that he would just eliminate

00:21:33.440 --> 00:21:36.780
 all who could possibly fall into this.

00:21:36.980 --> 00:21:40.580
 And so in this town of Bethlehem,

00:21:41.580 --> 00:21:47.020
 as we celebrate the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ,

00:21:48.020 --> 00:21:56.100
 it's also marked with the tragedy of the elimination of an entire generation

00:21:56.100 --> 00:21:58.960
 of firstborn sons.

00:22:01.340 --> 00:22:02.780
 And through this,

00:22:04.020 --> 00:22:06.160
 that we're reminded in the goodness of God,

00:22:07.160 --> 00:22:08.660
 is through Jesus there is hope.

00:22:10.220 --> 00:22:11.120
 Can you imagine?

00:22:12.680 --> 00:22:14.740
 Can you imagine being in Bethlehem?

00:22:16.340 --> 00:22:18.040
 Can you imagine the horror?

00:22:19.880 --> 00:22:22.280
 Can you imagine being the families who didn't escape?

00:22:24.040 --> 00:22:26.100
 Can you imagine the yearly anniversary

00:22:26.100 --> 00:22:29.500
 that would have come up and marked this time of year for them?

00:22:30.540 --> 00:22:32.820
 Can you imagine the impact it would have had,

00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:34.380
 what would have rang true?

00:22:34.580 --> 00:22:36.940
 But over and over and over again,

00:22:37.000 --> 00:22:41.100
 what we see is that in the midst of the despair of this world,

00:22:42.200 --> 00:22:44.920
 in the midst of the brokenness of this world,

00:22:45.700 --> 00:22:50.720
 in the midst of the horror that all of sin can produce,

00:22:52.720 --> 00:22:54.280
 through Jesus there is hope.

00:22:55.500 --> 00:22:58.420
 Through Jesus there is hope.

00:22:59.260 --> 00:23:01.480
 The prophetic verse is found in verse 18.

00:23:02.660 --> 00:23:04.740
 A voice was heard in Ramah,

00:23:05.900 --> 00:23:08.220
 weeping in loud lamentation,

00:23:09.240 --> 00:23:11.560
 Rachel weeping for her children.

00:23:12.360 --> 00:23:14.960
 She refused to be comforted

00:23:14.960 --> 00:23:18.240
 because they were no more.

00:23:19.120 --> 00:23:22.140
 This comes out of Jeremiah 31, verse 15.

00:23:23.060 --> 00:23:24.200
 This is thus says the Lord.

00:23:25.140 --> 00:23:26.780
 A voice is heard in Ramah,

00:23:27.300 --> 00:23:28.980
 lamentation and bitter weeping.

00:23:29.720 --> 00:23:31.600
 Rachel is weeping for her children.

00:23:32.180 --> 00:23:34.660
 She refuses to be comforted for her children

00:23:34.660 --> 00:23:38.220
 because they are no more.

00:23:38.880 --> 00:23:41.400
 What we see in Jeremiah 31

00:23:41.400 --> 00:23:44.680
 is a historical account of an event

00:23:44.680 --> 00:23:47.340
 that will take place or that has taken place

00:23:47.340 --> 00:23:50.860
 with looking toward a Messiah who will come.

00:23:51.580 --> 00:23:54.320
 The prophet Jeremiah is speaking specifically

00:23:54.320 --> 00:23:56.260
 about a time when God's people

00:23:56.260 --> 00:23:59.240
 were taken into exile by the Babylonians.

00:23:59.780 --> 00:24:02.160
 The Babylonians came and attacked Jerusalem,

00:24:02.580 --> 00:24:05.260
 killing and destroying all that they could.

00:24:06.220 --> 00:24:07.600
 And then they took God's people,

00:24:07.720 --> 00:24:08.340
 the survivors,

00:24:08.640 --> 00:24:10.460
 to a place known as Ramah.

00:24:11.120 --> 00:24:14.120
 And there they were scattered one from another,

00:24:14.620 --> 00:24:15.940
 families broken apart,

00:24:16.300 --> 00:24:17.840
 husbands taken from wives,

00:24:18.140 --> 00:24:20.080
 children taken from their parents,

00:24:20.080 --> 00:24:23.120
 would have been a scene of horror,

00:24:23.440 --> 00:24:24.080
 of devastation.

00:24:24.820 --> 00:24:26.060
 I mean, can you just imagine

00:24:26.060 --> 00:24:27.380
 what that would look like?

00:24:27.700 --> 00:24:29.900
 Mothers reaching out for their kids

00:24:29.900 --> 00:24:31.860
 to have them pried from her fingers.

00:24:32.220 --> 00:24:34.540
 Fathers doing all they can to protect.

00:24:35.620 --> 00:24:38.720
 But yet their strength is overpowered.

00:24:41.340 --> 00:24:45.940
 But God doesn't end in there.

00:24:46.020 --> 00:24:48.120
 Jeremiah 31, 16 through 17.

00:24:49.120 --> 00:24:50.160
 Thus says the Lord,

00:24:51.480 --> 00:24:53.180
 keep your voice from weeping

00:24:53.180 --> 00:24:55.080
 and your eyes from tears,

00:24:55.500 --> 00:24:58.500
 for there is a reward for your work,

00:24:58.680 --> 00:24:59.580
 declares the Lord.

00:25:00.660 --> 00:25:01.820
 And they shall come back

00:25:01.820 --> 00:25:03.100
 from the land of the enemy.

00:25:04.180 --> 00:25:05.960
 There is hope for your future,

00:25:06.540 --> 00:25:07.600
 declares the Lord.

00:25:08.500 --> 00:25:10.680
 And your children shall come back

00:25:10.680 --> 00:25:13.160
 to their own country.

00:25:14.400 --> 00:25:15.720
 God tells His people

00:25:15.720 --> 00:25:18.180
 that in spite of all of this,

00:25:18.920 --> 00:25:20.600
 that He has not forgotten them.

00:25:21.400 --> 00:25:22.920
 God tells His people,

00:25:23.060 --> 00:25:24.240
 in spite of all of this,

00:25:24.300 --> 00:25:26.480
 that there will be a new relationship,

00:25:26.720 --> 00:25:28.300
 that there will be a new covenant.

00:25:28.300 --> 00:25:29.440
 And God tells them,

00:25:29.600 --> 00:25:30.660
 in spite of all of this,

00:25:30.840 --> 00:25:32.680
 is that they do have a hope

00:25:32.680 --> 00:25:34.340
 and very specifically,

00:25:34.820 --> 00:25:36.100
 a hope for a future.

00:25:37.880 --> 00:25:39.720
 In Christ Jesus,

00:25:40.720 --> 00:25:43.260
 there is a hope for today

00:25:43.260 --> 00:25:45.540
 because there is a hope for the future.

00:25:46.700 --> 00:25:47.600
 You and I,

00:25:47.720 --> 00:25:49.200
 in our earthly perspectives,

00:25:49.760 --> 00:25:51.300
 we look at hope

00:25:51.300 --> 00:25:53.720
 in a moment by moment,

00:25:54.080 --> 00:25:55.680
 event by event,

00:25:56.120 --> 00:25:57.480
 calendar charted date

00:25:57.480 --> 00:25:59.660
 by calendar charted date.

00:25:59.860 --> 00:26:01.780
 But God sees hope

00:26:01.780 --> 00:26:04.720
 in the span of eternity.

00:26:05.920 --> 00:26:07.320
 God sees hope

00:26:07.320 --> 00:26:09.380
 in the fulfillment of this plan.

00:26:10.400 --> 00:26:12.220
 God sees the brokenness

00:26:12.220 --> 00:26:13.360
 of this world

00:26:13.360 --> 00:26:14.940
 and gives us

00:26:14.940 --> 00:26:19.120
 not a momentary passing glimpse

00:26:19.120 --> 00:26:20.920
 of what hope could be

00:26:20.920 --> 00:26:22.000
 for a moment,

00:26:22.580 --> 00:26:26.700
 but hope that will sustain forever.

00:26:28.240 --> 00:26:29.240
 And to be frank

00:26:29.240 --> 00:26:30.400
 and to be honest,

00:26:31.400 --> 00:26:33.560
 oftentimes that hope

00:26:33.560 --> 00:26:36.040
 does not take away

00:26:36.040 --> 00:26:38.300
 your hurt in the temporary,

00:26:39.300 --> 00:26:42.100
 but it places the fact

00:26:42.100 --> 00:26:44.340
 that our hurt is temporary

00:26:44.340 --> 00:26:47.680
 in the context

00:26:47.680 --> 00:26:50.280
 of all of the goodness

00:26:50.280 --> 00:26:51.560
 of what God has

00:26:51.560 --> 00:26:52.700
 of what God has

00:26:52.700 --> 00:26:54.700
 for eternity.

00:26:57.820 --> 00:26:58.580
 Sometimes,

00:26:59.400 --> 00:27:00.920
 the moment

00:27:00.920 --> 00:27:03.620
 can seem overwhelming,

00:27:04.620 --> 00:27:06.300
 but the moment

00:27:06.300 --> 00:27:07.680
 isn't all-powerful.

00:27:09.320 --> 00:27:09.800
 Sometimes,

00:27:10.380 --> 00:27:11.440
 the moment

00:27:11.440 --> 00:27:14.360
 can seem all-consumed,

00:27:14.960 --> 00:27:16.700
 but the moment

00:27:16.700 --> 00:27:17.720
 does not hold

00:27:17.720 --> 00:27:18.720
 your eternity

00:27:18.720 --> 00:27:19.980
 in its hand.

00:27:21.080 --> 00:27:22.260
 That what God

00:27:22.260 --> 00:27:23.720
 gives us

00:27:23.720 --> 00:27:25.220
 as his followers

00:27:25.220 --> 00:27:25.860
 of Jesus

00:27:25.860 --> 00:27:27.640
 is a hope

00:27:27.640 --> 00:27:28.300
 for a future.

00:27:29.400 --> 00:27:30.540
 It's not a hope

00:27:30.540 --> 00:27:31.180
 that I wish

00:27:31.180 --> 00:27:31.840
 it would happen.

00:27:32.680 --> 00:27:33.760
 It's a hope

00:27:33.760 --> 00:27:34.720
 in the confidence

00:27:34.720 --> 00:27:36.420
 that above

00:27:36.420 --> 00:27:37.760
 all things

00:27:37.760 --> 00:27:39.300
 I know

00:27:39.300 --> 00:27:40.900
 that this

00:27:40.900 --> 00:27:42.200
 will happen.

00:27:43.860 --> 00:27:44.480
 And then we see

00:27:44.480 --> 00:27:45.100
 our last

00:27:45.100 --> 00:27:47.860
 in verses 19

00:27:47.860 --> 00:27:48.500
 through 23.

00:27:50.460 --> 00:27:51.000
 It says,

00:27:51.080 --> 00:27:52.060
 But when Herod died,

00:27:53.640 --> 00:27:54.000
 behold,

00:27:54.080 --> 00:27:55.180
 an angel of the Lord

00:27:55.180 --> 00:27:56.320
 appeared in a dream

00:27:56.320 --> 00:27:56.900
 to Joseph

00:27:56.900 --> 00:27:57.520
 in Egypt,

00:27:58.860 --> 00:27:59.060
 saying,

00:27:59.180 --> 00:27:59.540
 Rise,

00:27:59.660 --> 00:28:00.360
 take the child

00:28:00.360 --> 00:28:00.960
 and his mother

00:28:00.960 --> 00:28:03.120
 and go to the land

00:28:03.120 --> 00:28:03.700
 of Israel

00:28:03.700 --> 00:28:05.580
 for those

00:28:05.580 --> 00:28:06.100
 who sought

00:28:06.100 --> 00:28:07.160
 the child's life

00:28:07.160 --> 00:28:07.680
 are dead.

00:28:08.780 --> 00:28:09.760
 And he rose

00:28:09.760 --> 00:28:10.700
 and took the child

00:28:10.700 --> 00:28:11.380
 and his mother

00:28:11.380 --> 00:28:12.700
 and went

00:28:12.700 --> 00:28:13.240
 to the land

00:28:13.240 --> 00:28:13.860
 of Israel.

00:28:14.920 --> 00:28:16.080
 But when he heard

00:28:16.080 --> 00:28:17.020
 that Archelaus

00:28:17.020 --> 00:28:17.680
 was reigning

00:28:17.680 --> 00:28:18.740
 over Judea

00:28:18.740 --> 00:28:19.560
 in place

00:28:19.560 --> 00:28:20.080
 of his father

00:28:20.080 --> 00:28:20.580
 Herod,

00:28:21.040 --> 00:28:21.960
 he was afraid

00:28:21.960 --> 00:28:22.640
 to go there.

00:28:23.220 --> 00:28:24.160
 And being warned

00:28:24.160 --> 00:28:24.920
 in a dream,

00:28:25.620 --> 00:28:26.260
 he withdrew

00:28:26.260 --> 00:28:26.860
 to the district

00:28:26.860 --> 00:28:27.580
 of Galilee.

00:28:28.240 --> 00:28:28.980
 And he went

00:28:28.980 --> 00:28:29.540
 and lived

00:28:29.540 --> 00:28:30.020
 in a city

00:28:30.020 --> 00:28:30.920
 called Nazareth

00:28:30.920 --> 00:28:32.280
 so that what

00:28:32.280 --> 00:28:32.840
 was spoken

00:28:32.840 --> 00:28:33.860
 by the prophets

00:28:33.860 --> 00:28:35.500
 might be fulfilled

00:28:35.500 --> 00:28:36.700
 that he was

00:28:36.700 --> 00:28:38.300
 called a Nazarene.

00:28:40.740 --> 00:28:42.160
 So after some time,

00:28:43.500 --> 00:28:44.120
 Herod dies.

00:28:45.520 --> 00:28:46.260
 Herod dies

00:28:46.260 --> 00:28:47.080
 and God tells

00:28:47.080 --> 00:28:47.860
 Joseph

00:28:47.860 --> 00:28:48.920
 that he can

00:28:48.920 --> 00:28:50.600
 return to Israel.

00:28:51.460 --> 00:28:52.040
 But instead

00:28:52.040 --> 00:28:53.140
 of going to Judea,

00:28:53.280 --> 00:28:54.360
 Joseph decides

00:28:54.360 --> 00:28:55.460
 because of Herod's

00:28:55.460 --> 00:28:56.180
 son who's put

00:28:56.180 --> 00:28:56.760
 into place

00:28:56.760 --> 00:28:57.420
 that Joseph

00:28:57.420 --> 00:28:58.400
 takes his family

00:28:58.400 --> 00:28:59.520
 to Galilee

00:28:59.520 --> 00:29:00.940
 and specifically

00:29:00.940 --> 00:29:02.280
 to Nazareth.

00:29:02.560 --> 00:29:03.340
 Now is this

00:29:03.340 --> 00:29:04.060
 by chance?

00:29:04.300 --> 00:29:04.500
 No,

00:29:04.600 --> 00:29:05.000
 this is by

00:29:05.000 --> 00:29:05.620
 the sovereign

00:29:05.620 --> 00:29:06.760
 hand of God

00:29:06.760 --> 00:29:07.480
 as is spoken

00:29:07.480 --> 00:29:08.760
 in verse 23.

00:29:09.580 --> 00:29:10.040
 And he went

00:29:10.040 --> 00:29:10.740
 and lived

00:29:10.740 --> 00:29:11.220
 in a city

00:29:11.220 --> 00:29:12.640
 called Nazareth

00:29:12.640 --> 00:29:13.860
 so that what

00:29:13.860 --> 00:29:14.580
 was spoken

00:29:14.580 --> 00:29:15.640
 by the prophets

00:29:15.640 --> 00:29:16.760
 might be fulfilled

00:29:16.760 --> 00:29:17.920
 that he

00:29:17.920 --> 00:29:19.240
 would be called

00:29:19.240 --> 00:29:20.300
 a Nazarene.

00:29:21.440 --> 00:29:22.160
 What we find

00:29:22.160 --> 00:29:22.660
 through this

00:29:22.660 --> 00:29:23.160
 is that through

00:29:23.160 --> 00:29:23.880
 Jesus there

00:29:23.880 --> 00:29:25.180
 is salvation.

00:29:26.240 --> 00:29:27.000
 Through Jesus

00:29:27.000 --> 00:29:28.060
 there is

00:29:28.060 --> 00:29:29.020
 salvation.

00:29:29.520 --> 00:29:30.960
 now while

00:29:30.960 --> 00:29:31.640
 this verse

00:29:31.640 --> 00:29:32.100
 doesn't

00:29:32.100 --> 00:29:32.760
 specifically

00:29:32.760 --> 00:29:34.020
 align

00:29:34.020 --> 00:29:35.580
 with one

00:29:35.580 --> 00:29:36.340
 specific

00:29:36.340 --> 00:29:36.960
 verse

00:29:36.960 --> 00:29:38.000
 or passage

00:29:38.000 --> 00:29:38.860
 of scripture

00:29:38.860 --> 00:29:40.980
 in verse 23

00:29:40.980 --> 00:29:42.180
 it says

00:29:42.180 --> 00:29:42.680
 and he went

00:29:42.680 --> 00:29:43.180
 and lived

00:29:43.180 --> 00:29:43.560
 in a city

00:29:43.560 --> 00:29:44.520
 called Nazareth

00:29:44.520 --> 00:29:45.440
 so that what

00:29:45.440 --> 00:29:45.960
 was spoken

00:29:45.960 --> 00:29:47.340
 by the prophets

00:29:47.340 --> 00:29:49.320
 might be fulfilled

00:29:49.320 --> 00:29:50.260
 that he

00:29:50.260 --> 00:29:51.200
 would be

00:29:51.200 --> 00:29:51.860
 called

00:29:51.860 --> 00:29:53.020
 a Nazarene.

00:29:53.820 --> 00:29:54.260
 Here's what's

00:29:54.260 --> 00:29:55.340
 interesting for us

00:29:55.340 --> 00:29:56.200
 about Nazareth.

00:29:56.800 --> 00:29:57.380
 We know

00:29:57.380 --> 00:29:58.000
 of Nazareth

00:29:58.000 --> 00:29:58.740
 from the Bible.

00:29:58.940 --> 00:29:59.300
 We know

00:29:59.300 --> 00:30:00.180
 of Nazareth

00:30:00.180 --> 00:30:00.720
 that this is

00:30:00.720 --> 00:30:01.380
 what Jesus

00:30:01.380 --> 00:30:01.980
 was spoken

00:30:01.980 --> 00:30:02.780
 of as.

00:30:02.900 --> 00:30:03.820
 We see this

00:30:03.820 --> 00:30:04.500
 that he is

00:30:04.500 --> 00:30:04.960
 the man

00:30:04.960 --> 00:30:05.880
 from Galilee.

00:30:06.300 --> 00:30:07.380
 Jesus of Nazareth

00:30:07.380 --> 00:30:08.560
 is within his name

00:30:08.560 --> 00:30:09.540
 but that during

00:30:09.540 --> 00:30:10.820
 the time of Christ

00:30:10.820 --> 00:30:11.640
 Nazareth

00:30:11.640 --> 00:30:12.400
 was not a

00:30:12.400 --> 00:30:13.360
 respected place.

00:30:14.720 --> 00:30:15.120
 Nazareth

00:30:15.120 --> 00:30:15.860
 was a place

00:30:15.860 --> 00:30:16.760
 known for

00:30:16.760 --> 00:30:17.400
 its poverty.

00:30:18.440 --> 00:30:18.860
 In fact

00:30:18.860 --> 00:30:20.080
 in John

00:30:20.080 --> 00:30:20.760
 chapter 1

00:30:20.760 --> 00:30:21.560
 verse 26

00:30:21.560 --> 00:30:22.640
 someone asks

00:30:22.640 --> 00:30:23.280
 a question

00:30:23.280 --> 00:30:24.220
 can anything

00:30:24.220 --> 00:30:24.800
 good

00:30:24.800 --> 00:30:25.680
 even come

00:30:25.680 --> 00:30:26.500
 out of Nazareth?

00:30:27.580 --> 00:30:28.080
 I don't know

00:30:28.080 --> 00:30:28.880
 where you grew up

00:30:28.880 --> 00:30:29.280
 but you know

00:30:29.280 --> 00:30:30.100
 certain towns

00:30:30.100 --> 00:30:30.940
 can kind of

00:30:30.940 --> 00:30:31.940
 carry with it

00:30:31.940 --> 00:30:33.520
 a reputation

00:30:33.520 --> 00:30:34.960
 or an expectation

00:30:34.960 --> 00:30:35.980
 of where they are

00:30:35.980 --> 00:30:37.360
 and so people

00:30:37.360 --> 00:30:38.020
 will think

00:30:38.020 --> 00:30:38.520
 that nothing

00:30:38.520 --> 00:30:39.380
 good can come

00:30:39.380 --> 00:30:39.820
 from there

00:30:39.820 --> 00:30:40.940
 that's the lowest

00:30:40.940 --> 00:30:41.640
 of the low

00:30:41.640 --> 00:30:42.380
 you would never

00:30:42.380 --> 00:30:43.440
 want to go there

00:30:43.440 --> 00:30:43.940
 you would never

00:30:43.940 --> 00:30:44.800
 want to be a part

00:30:44.800 --> 00:30:45.780
 of or associated

00:30:45.780 --> 00:30:46.220
 with that

00:30:46.220 --> 00:30:47.840
 and that's

00:30:47.840 --> 00:30:49.080
 what Nazareth

00:30:49.080 --> 00:30:50.440
 is known for

00:30:50.440 --> 00:30:52.400
 and this speaks

00:30:52.400 --> 00:30:53.160
 to how

00:30:53.160 --> 00:30:53.920
 not only

00:30:53.920 --> 00:30:54.660
 the people

00:30:54.660 --> 00:30:56.020
 were perceived

00:30:56.020 --> 00:30:57.220
 and the area

00:30:57.220 --> 00:30:57.820
 that they were

00:30:57.820 --> 00:30:58.260
 perceived

00:30:58.260 --> 00:30:59.260
 but it's speaking

00:30:59.260 --> 00:31:00.140
 to how Jesus

00:31:00.140 --> 00:31:03.000
 would be

00:31:03.000 --> 00:31:05.560
 and in so many

00:31:05.560 --> 00:31:06.120
 ways

00:31:06.120 --> 00:31:07.920
 still to this

00:31:07.920 --> 00:31:08.300
 day

00:31:08.300 --> 00:31:10.160
 is perceived

00:31:10.160 --> 00:31:11.560
 and you're like

00:31:11.560 --> 00:31:11.940
 no brother

00:31:11.940 --> 00:31:12.260
 that's

00:31:12.260 --> 00:31:13.320
 that's not

00:31:13.320 --> 00:31:14.280
 at all

00:31:14.280 --> 00:31:16.080
 how Jesus

00:31:16.080 --> 00:31:16.700
 is perceived

00:31:16.700 --> 00:31:18.300
 that's not

00:31:18.300 --> 00:31:18.580
 at all

00:31:18.580 --> 00:31:19.100
 how Jesus

00:31:19.100 --> 00:31:19.680
 is thought

00:31:19.680 --> 00:31:20.000
 of

00:31:20.000 --> 00:31:21.600
 Jesus

00:31:21.600 --> 00:31:22.460
 is respected

00:31:22.460 --> 00:31:23.220
 even by people

00:31:23.220 --> 00:31:23.780
 who aren't

00:31:23.780 --> 00:31:24.800
 followers of

00:31:24.800 --> 00:31:25.220
 Christ

00:31:25.220 --> 00:31:26.420
 he's looked

00:31:26.420 --> 00:31:26.740
 at us

00:31:26.740 --> 00:31:27.400
 as good

00:31:27.400 --> 00:31:29.200
 he's looked

00:31:29.200 --> 00:31:29.500
 at us

00:31:29.500 --> 00:31:30.160
 as kind

00:31:30.160 --> 00:31:30.920
 he's looked

00:31:30.920 --> 00:31:31.260
 at us

00:31:31.260 --> 00:31:33.040
 as loving

00:31:33.040 --> 00:31:34.680
 but look

00:31:34.680 --> 00:31:35.060
 what Isaiah

00:31:35.060 --> 00:31:35.440
 53

00:31:35.440 --> 00:31:36.020
 3 says

00:31:36.020 --> 00:31:37.980
 he was

00:31:37.980 --> 00:31:39.100
 despised

00:31:39.100 --> 00:31:41.240
 and rejected

00:31:41.240 --> 00:31:41.980
 by men

00:31:41.980 --> 00:31:43.960
 a man

00:31:43.960 --> 00:31:44.960
 of sorrows

00:31:44.960 --> 00:31:47.000
 and acquainted

00:31:47.000 --> 00:31:47.740
 with grief

00:31:47.740 --> 00:31:50.100
 and as one

00:31:50.100 --> 00:31:50.680
 from whom

00:31:50.680 --> 00:31:51.580
 men hid

00:31:51.580 --> 00:31:52.200
 their faces

00:31:52.200 --> 00:31:54.360
 he was

00:31:54.360 --> 00:31:55.420
 despised

00:31:55.420 --> 00:31:56.660
 I'll catch

00:31:56.660 --> 00:31:57.120
 this

00:31:57.120 --> 00:31:59.080
 and we

00:31:59.080 --> 00:32:00.980
 esteemed

00:32:00.980 --> 00:32:02.240
 him not

00:32:02.240 --> 00:32:04.260
 you see

00:32:04.260 --> 00:32:04.620
 there's a lot

00:32:04.620 --> 00:32:05.340
 of actions

00:32:05.340 --> 00:32:07.220
 of the person

00:32:07.220 --> 00:32:07.820
 of Jesus

00:32:07.820 --> 00:32:09.120
 that people

00:32:09.120 --> 00:32:09.600
 want to draw

00:32:09.600 --> 00:32:09.860
 to

00:32:09.860 --> 00:32:12.260
 the miracles

00:32:12.260 --> 00:32:12.900
 that he performed

00:32:12.900 --> 00:32:13.720
 we see that

00:32:13.720 --> 00:32:15.780
 the kindness

00:32:15.780 --> 00:32:16.440
 that he spoke

00:32:16.440 --> 00:32:17.560
 we see that

00:32:17.560 --> 00:32:19.800
 but it's not

00:32:19.800 --> 00:32:20.540
 just what

00:32:20.540 --> 00:32:21.560
 Jesus did

00:32:21.560 --> 00:32:23.280
 it's the truth

00:32:23.280 --> 00:32:24.040
 in who Jesus

00:32:24.040 --> 00:32:24.640
 is

00:32:24.640 --> 00:32:26.500
 because in

00:32:26.500 --> 00:32:27.560
 every action

00:32:27.560 --> 00:32:28.240
 that he did

00:32:28.240 --> 00:32:29.640
 in every word

00:32:29.640 --> 00:32:30.580
 that he spoke

00:32:30.580 --> 00:32:31.880
 in every piece

00:32:31.880 --> 00:32:33.000
 of the embodiment

00:32:33.000 --> 00:32:34.240
 of his character

00:32:34.240 --> 00:32:35.740
 is pointing people

00:32:35.740 --> 00:32:37.000
 to the truth

00:32:37.000 --> 00:32:38.860
 that he's

00:32:38.860 --> 00:32:39.520
 the savior

00:32:39.520 --> 00:32:41.600
 that he is

00:32:41.600 --> 00:32:42.400
 the Messiah

00:32:42.400 --> 00:32:44.680
 but he didn't

00:32:44.680 --> 00:32:45.340
 just come

00:32:45.340 --> 00:32:45.900
 to die

00:32:45.900 --> 00:32:48.920
 he came

00:32:48.920 --> 00:32:50.360
 because he's

00:32:50.360 --> 00:32:50.900
 a king

00:32:50.900 --> 00:32:52.980
 he came

00:32:52.980 --> 00:32:53.960
 because he is

00:32:53.960 --> 00:32:54.740
 the king

00:32:54.740 --> 00:32:56.420
 and in that

00:32:56.420 --> 00:32:57.260
 he calls

00:32:57.260 --> 00:32:58.900
 your allegiance

00:32:58.900 --> 00:33:01.820
 and this king

00:33:01.820 --> 00:33:04.460
 will build

00:33:04.460 --> 00:33:05.600
 his kingdom

00:33:05.600 --> 00:33:07.880
 not by

00:33:07.880 --> 00:33:08.760
 the conquering

00:33:08.760 --> 00:33:09.900
 of their hands

00:33:09.900 --> 00:33:11.720
 not by

00:33:11.720 --> 00:33:12.440
 the works

00:33:12.440 --> 00:33:13.620
 of his people

00:33:13.620 --> 00:33:15.660
 but through

00:33:15.660 --> 00:33:16.820
 what he will do

00:33:16.820 --> 00:33:18.080
 what he will

00:33:18.080 --> 00:33:18.760
 become

00:33:18.760 --> 00:33:20.100
 and what he

00:33:20.100 --> 00:33:20.720
 will offer

00:33:20.720 --> 00:33:22.940
 Isaiah 53

00:33:22.940 --> 00:33:23.920
 continues on

00:33:23.920 --> 00:33:24.600
 in verse 4

00:33:24.600 --> 00:33:27.040
 surely he has

00:33:27.040 --> 00:33:28.520
 borne our griefs

00:33:28.520 --> 00:33:30.500
 and carried

00:33:30.500 --> 00:33:31.380
 our sorrows

00:33:31.380 --> 00:33:33.640
 yet we

00:33:33.640 --> 00:33:34.760
 esteemed him

00:33:34.760 --> 00:33:36.340
 stricken

00:33:36.340 --> 00:33:38.020
 smitten

00:33:38.020 --> 00:33:38.940
 by God

00:33:38.940 --> 00:33:40.720
 and afflicted

00:33:40.720 --> 00:33:43.440
 but he

00:33:43.440 --> 00:33:45.740
 was pierced

00:33:45.740 --> 00:33:46.160
 for our

00:33:46.160 --> 00:33:47.120
 transgressions

00:33:47.120 --> 00:33:49.160
 he

00:33:49.160 --> 00:33:50.240
 was

00:33:50.240 --> 00:33:50.880
 crushed

00:33:50.880 --> 00:33:51.980
 for our

00:33:51.980 --> 00:33:52.920
 iniquities

00:33:52.920 --> 00:33:55.500
 upon him

00:33:55.500 --> 00:33:56.900
 was the

00:33:56.900 --> 00:33:57.580
 chastisement

00:33:57.580 --> 00:33:58.100
 that brought

00:33:58.100 --> 00:33:58.780
 us peace

00:33:58.780 --> 00:34:00.960
 and with

00:34:00.960 --> 00:34:01.920
 his wounds

00:34:01.920 --> 00:34:03.700
 we are

00:34:03.700 --> 00:34:04.060
 healed

00:34:04.060 --> 00:34:06.640
 all

00:34:06.640 --> 00:34:07.540
 we

00:34:07.540 --> 00:34:08.140
 like

00:34:08.140 --> 00:34:08.560
 sheep

00:34:08.560 --> 00:34:10.220
 have gone

00:34:10.220 --> 00:34:10.700
 astray

00:34:10.700 --> 00:34:12.580
 and turned

00:34:12.580 --> 00:34:14.320
 everyone

00:34:14.320 --> 00:34:15.960
 to his

00:34:15.960 --> 00:34:16.500
 own way

00:34:16.500 --> 00:34:18.560
 and the

00:34:18.560 --> 00:34:19.000
 Lord

00:34:19.000 --> 00:34:20.320
 has laid

00:34:20.320 --> 00:34:20.940
 on him

00:34:20.940 --> 00:34:22.840
 the iniquity

00:34:22.840 --> 00:34:23.880
 of us

00:34:23.880 --> 00:34:24.220
 all

00:34:24.220 --> 00:34:26.240
 you see

00:34:26.240 --> 00:34:28.220
 because of

00:34:28.220 --> 00:34:28.720
 our sin

00:34:28.720 --> 00:34:31.060
 because of

00:34:31.060 --> 00:34:31.600
 our sin

00:34:31.600 --> 00:34:32.040
 nature

00:34:32.040 --> 00:34:33.620
 we

00:34:33.620 --> 00:34:34.580
 have

00:34:34.580 --> 00:34:35.220
 rejected

00:34:35.220 --> 00:34:35.620
 him

00:34:35.620 --> 00:34:37.800
 and in

00:34:37.800 --> 00:34:38.140
 our

00:34:38.140 --> 00:34:38.800
 rejection

00:34:38.800 --> 00:34:39.580
 of him

00:34:39.580 --> 00:34:41.060
 he

00:34:41.060 --> 00:34:41.800
 came

00:34:41.800 --> 00:34:42.940
 to

00:34:42.940 --> 00:34:43.540
 die

00:34:43.540 --> 00:34:44.940
 for us

00:34:44.940 --> 00:34:46.340
 I'm

00:34:46.340 --> 00:34:46.400
 going to

00:34:46.400 --> 00:34:46.660
 ask our

00:34:46.660 --> 00:34:47.240
 worship team

00:34:47.240 --> 00:34:47.520
 if they'll

00:34:47.520 --> 00:34:47.940
 go ahead

00:34:47.940 --> 00:34:48.240
 and make

00:34:48.240 --> 00:34:48.740
 their way

00:34:48.740 --> 00:34:49.720
 up here

00:34:49.720 --> 00:34:50.220
 this morning

00:34:50.220 --> 00:34:52.560
 I want

00:34:52.560 --> 00:34:52.720
 to ask

00:34:52.720 --> 00:34:53.020
 you three

00:34:53.020 --> 00:34:53.580
 questions

00:34:53.580 --> 00:34:53.900
 as we

00:34:53.900 --> 00:34:54.380
 go into

00:34:54.380 --> 00:34:55.540
 our time

00:34:55.540 --> 00:34:56.240
 of response

00:34:56.240 --> 00:34:56.700
 today

00:34:56.700 --> 00:34:58.820
 question

00:34:58.820 --> 00:34:59.520
 number one

00:34:59.520 --> 00:35:01.120
 within our

00:35:01.120 --> 00:35:01.720
 condition

00:35:01.720 --> 00:35:02.840
 we have

00:35:02.840 --> 00:35:03.320
 rejected

00:35:03.320 --> 00:35:03.640
 him

00:35:03.640 --> 00:35:05.020
 in our

00:35:05.020 --> 00:35:05.580
 condition

00:35:05.580 --> 00:35:06.260
 we have

00:35:06.260 --> 00:35:06.720
 said

00:35:06.720 --> 00:35:07.360
 that he

00:35:07.360 --> 00:35:07.840
 is not

00:35:07.840 --> 00:35:08.280
 what we

00:35:08.280 --> 00:35:08.700
 desire

00:35:08.700 --> 00:35:09.280
 apart from

00:35:09.280 --> 00:35:09.720
 Christ

00:35:09.720 --> 00:35:10.640
 so today

00:35:10.640 --> 00:35:11.060
 will you

00:35:11.060 --> 00:35:11.380
 not

00:35:11.380 --> 00:35:11.940
 reject

00:35:11.940 --> 00:35:12.200
 him

00:35:12.200 --> 00:35:13.060
 but today

00:35:13.060 --> 00:35:13.900
 instead

00:35:13.900 --> 00:35:14.380
 will you

00:35:14.380 --> 00:35:14.780
 receive

00:35:14.780 --> 00:35:15.080
 him

00:35:15.080 --> 00:35:16.180
 will you

00:35:16.180 --> 00:35:16.880
 receive

00:35:16.880 --> 00:35:17.600
 Jesus

00:35:17.600 --> 00:35:18.300
 Christ

00:35:18.300 --> 00:35:19.340
 as your

00:35:19.340 --> 00:35:19.760
 Lord

00:35:19.760 --> 00:35:20.360
 and Savior

00:35:20.360 --> 00:35:21.460
 will you

00:35:21.460 --> 00:35:22.260
 receive

00:35:22.260 --> 00:35:22.780
 him

00:35:22.780 --> 00:35:23.400
 of what

00:35:23.400 --> 00:35:24.000
 he did

00:35:24.000 --> 00:35:24.400
 on the

00:35:24.400 --> 00:35:24.900
 cross

00:35:24.900 --> 00:35:25.300
 of

00:35:25.300 --> 00:35:25.940
 Calvary

00:35:25.940 --> 00:35:26.540
 for you

00:35:26.540 --> 00:35:27.600
 will you

00:35:27.600 --> 00:35:28.800
 surrender

00:35:28.800 --> 00:35:29.800
 to him

00:35:29.800 --> 00:35:30.780
 confessing

00:35:30.780 --> 00:35:31.200
 of your

00:35:31.200 --> 00:35:31.680
 sins

00:35:31.680 --> 00:35:32.600
 repenting

00:35:32.600 --> 00:35:33.080
 of your

00:35:33.080 --> 00:35:33.560
 sin

00:35:33.560 --> 00:35:34.580
 and declaring

00:35:34.580 --> 00:35:34.920
 your

00:35:34.920 --> 00:35:35.740
 desperation

00:35:35.740 --> 00:35:36.340
 for a

00:35:36.340 --> 00:35:36.640
 Savior

00:35:36.640 --> 00:35:37.920
 will you

00:35:37.920 --> 00:35:38.400
 receive

00:35:38.400 --> 00:35:38.740
 him

00:35:38.740 --> 00:35:40.060
 today

00:35:40.060 --> 00:35:40.460
 will you

00:35:40.460 --> 00:35:40.800
 not

00:35:40.800 --> 00:35:41.400
 reject

00:35:41.400 --> 00:35:41.700
 him

00:35:41.700 --> 00:35:41.980
 but

00:35:41.980 --> 00:35:42.360
 instead

00:35:42.360 --> 00:35:43.020
 today

00:35:43.020 --> 00:35:43.720
 will you

00:35:43.720 --> 00:35:44.200
 surrender

00:35:44.200 --> 00:35:44.560
 him

00:35:44.560 --> 00:35:45.820
 you see

00:35:45.820 --> 00:35:46.120
 it's not

00:35:46.120 --> 00:35:46.480
 just about

00:35:46.480 --> 00:35:47.340
 a momentary

00:35:47.340 --> 00:35:48.140
 surrender

00:35:48.140 --> 00:35:49.000
 for salvation

00:35:49.000 --> 00:35:50.520
 but it's

00:35:50.520 --> 00:35:51.280
 a daily

00:35:51.280 --> 00:35:51.980
 surrender

00:35:51.980 --> 00:35:52.920
 to him

00:35:52.920 --> 00:35:54.660
 that he

00:35:54.660 --> 00:35:55.220
 is not

00:35:55.220 --> 00:35:55.800
 just our

00:35:55.800 --> 00:35:56.240
 Savior

00:35:56.240 --> 00:35:56.800
 but he

00:35:56.800 --> 00:35:57.340
 is our

00:35:57.340 --> 00:35:57.740
 Lord

00:35:57.740 --> 00:35:59.220
 that we

00:35:59.220 --> 00:35:59.860
 come before

00:35:59.860 --> 00:36:00.060
 him

00:36:00.060 --> 00:36:00.380
 that he

00:36:00.380 --> 00:36:00.900
 is the

00:36:00.900 --> 00:36:01.280
 king of

00:36:01.280 --> 00:36:01.680
 kings

00:36:01.680 --> 00:36:02.400
 the lord

00:36:02.400 --> 00:36:02.920
 of lords

00:36:02.920 --> 00:36:03.460
 that he

00:36:03.460 --> 00:36:04.120
 is Christ

00:36:04.120 --> 00:36:04.640
 and that

00:36:04.640 --> 00:36:05.400
 we surrender

00:36:05.400 --> 00:36:06.080
 to him

00:36:06.080 --> 00:36:06.860
 and so not

00:36:06.860 --> 00:36:07.500
 all that

00:36:07.500 --> 00:36:08.160
 we have

00:36:08.160 --> 00:36:08.740
 all that

00:36:08.740 --> 00:36:09.040
 we've

00:36:09.040 --> 00:36:09.380
 done

00:36:09.380 --> 00:36:10.160
 all that

00:36:10.160 --> 00:36:10.960
 we are

00:36:10.960 --> 00:36:13.660
 that we've

00:36:13.660 --> 00:36:14.020
 surrendered

00:36:14.020 --> 00:36:14.600
 to him

00:36:14.600 --> 00:36:17.660
 and today

00:36:17.660 --> 00:36:19.660
 will you

00:36:19.660 --> 00:36:20.400
 not reject

00:36:20.400 --> 00:36:20.700
 him

00:36:20.700 --> 00:36:22.740
 instead

 will you

00:36:24.280 --> 00:36:24.660
 worship

00:36:24.660 --> 00:36:24.980
 him

00:36:24.980 --> 00:36:26.520
 will you

00:36:48.420 --> 00:36:48.580
 him

00:36:48.580 --> 00:36:48.780
 when it

00:36:48.780 --> 00:36:49.160
 hurts

00:36:49.160 --> 00:36:56.580
 will you

00:36:56.580 --> 00:36:56.800
 worship

00:36:56.800 --> 00:36:56.960
 him

00:36:56.960 --> 00:36:57.160

00:36:57.160 --> 00:36:57.460
 hard

00:36:57.460 --> 00:37:01.720
 will you

00:37:02.300 --> 00:37:02.480
 seems

00:37:02.480 --> 00:37:02.920
 unfair

00:37:02.920 --> 00:37:08.220
 will you

 worship

00:37:08.440 --> 00:37:08.640

00:37:08.840 --> 00:37:09.000
 seems

00:37:09.000 --> 00:37:09.440
 difficult

00:37:09.440 --> 00:37:13.620
 will you

00:37:14.020 --> 00:37:14.420
 him

00:37:14.420 --> 00:37:16.360
 not on

00:37:16.360 --> 00:37:16.680
 what you

00:37:16.680 --> 00:37:17.120
 have

00:37:17.120 --> 00:37:19.520
 but will

 you

00:37:19.680 --> 00:37:19.980
 worship

00:37:19.980 --> 00:37:20.200
 him

00:37:20.200 --> 00:37:20.500
 through

00:37:20.500 --> 00:37:21.820
 the

00:37:21.820 --> 00:37:22.140
 spirit

00:37:22.140 --> 00:37:22.300
 of

00:37:22.300 --> 00:37:22.520
 God

00:37:22.520 --> 00:37:22.660
 that

00:37:22.660 --> 00:37:22.780
 is

00:37:22.780 --> 00:37:22.940
 in

00:37:22.940 --> 00:37:23.120
 you

00:37:23.120 --> 00:37:25.480

 I'm

00:37:25.580 --> 00:37:25.720
 not

00:37:25.720 --> 00:37:26.060
 talking

00:37:26.060 --> 00:37:26.440
 about

00:37:26.440 --> 00:37:28.240
 an

00:37:28.240 --> 00:37:28.640
 outward

00:37:28.640 --> 00:37:29.200
 expression

00:37:29.200 --> 00:37:29.640
 of singing

00:37:29.640 --> 00:37:30.160
 a song

00:37:30.160 --> 00:37:32.400
 I'm

00:37:32.400 --> 00:37:32.560
 not

00:37:32.560 --> 00:37:32.840
 simply

00:37:32.840 --> 00:37:33.200
 talking

00:37:33.200 --> 00:37:33.440
 about

00:37:33.440 --> 00:37:33.640
 an

00:37:33.640 --> 00:37:34.000
 outward

00:37:34.000 --> 00:37:34.520
 expression

00:37:34.520 --> 00:37:34.840
 of

00:37:34.840 --> 00:37:35.120
 raising

00:37:35.120 --> 00:37:35.600
 hands

00:37:35.600 --> 00:37:38.200
 but

00:37:38.200 --> 00:37:38.300
 I'm

00:37:38.300 --> 00:37:38.500
 talking

00:37:38.500 --> 00:37:38.660
 about

00:37:38.660 --> 00:37:39.060
 a

00:37:39.060 --> 00:37:39.560

00:37:39.560 --> 00:37:40.320
 that

00:37:40.320 --> 00:37:40.420
 is

00:37:40.420 --> 00:37:40.540
 at

00:37:40.540 --> 00:37:40.720
 the

00:37:40.720 --> 00:37:41.120
 core

00:37:41.120 --> 00:37:41.380
 of

 your

00:37:41.520 --> 00:37:41.980
 heart

00:37:41.980 --> 00:37:44.380
 I

00:37:44.380 --> 00:37:44.840
 imagine

00:37:44.840 --> 00:37:46.540
 if you'll

00:37:46.540 --> 00:37:46.840
 leave

00:37:46.840 --> 00:37:47.100
 with me

00:37:47.100 --> 00:37:47.280
 some

00:37:47.280 --> 00:37:47.980
 freedom

00:37:47.980 --> 00:37:48.260
 within

00:37:51.180 --> 00:37:51.860
 Joseph's

00:37:51.860 --> 00:37:52.300
 plan

00:37:52.300 --> 00:37:54.140

00:37:58.900 --> 00:37:59.480
 difficulty

00:37:59.480 --> 00:38:00.320
 in the

00:38:00.320 --> 00:38:01.680
 haste

00:38:01.680 --> 00:38:02.000
 that

00:38:02.000 --> 00:38:02.200
 that

00:38:02.200 --> 00:38:02.620
 morning

00:38:02.620 --> 00:38:02.840

00:38:03.260 --> 00:38:03.560
 for

00:38:03.560 --> 00:38:03.860
 him

00:38:03.860 --> 00:38:04.860

00:38:04.860 --> 00:38:05.140
 not

00:38:05.140 --> 00:38:05.620
 filled

00:38:05.620 --> 00:38:06.180
 with

 is

00:38:08.420 --> 00:38:08.820

00:39:39.520 --> 00:39:43.240
 but

00:39:43.240 --> 00:39:43.420
 God

00:39:43.420 --> 00:39:43.640
 there's

00:39:43.640 --> 00:39:43.880
 also

00:39:43.880 --> 00:39:44.160
 so

00:39:44.160 --> 00:39:44.360
 much

00:39:44.360 --> 00:39:44.820
 more

00:39:44.820 --> 00:39:45.160
 Lord

00:39:45.160 --> 00:39:45.380
 and

00:39:45.380 --> 00:39:45.940
 you

00:39:45.940 --> 00:39:46.140
 know

00:39:46.140 --> 00:39:46.460
 what's

00:39:46.460 --> 00:39:46.680
 going

00:39:46.680 --> 00:39:47.040
 on

00:39:47.040 --> 00:39:49.820
 where

00:39:49.820 --> 00:39:50.120
 we

00:39:50.120 --> 00:39:50.560
 are

00:39:50.560 --> 00:39:51.480
 what

00:39:51.480 --> 00:39:51.760
 people

00:39:51.760 --> 00:39:51.940
 are

00:39:51.940 --> 00:39:52.720
 experiencing

00:39:52.720 --> 00:39:54.800
 and

00:39:54.800 --> 00:39:54.940
 they're

00:39:54.940 --> 00:39:55.240
 in the

00:39:55.240 --> 00:39:55.780
 struggle

00:39:55.780 --> 00:39:58.420
 but

00:39:58.420 --> 00:39:58.540
 God

00:39:58.540 --> 00:39:58.880
 in the

00:39:58.880 --> 00:39:59.380
 struggle

00:39:59.380 --> 00:40:00.780
 Lord

00:40:00.780 --> 00:40:00.940
 I

00:40:00.940 --> 00:40:01.340
 pray

00:40:01.340 --> 00:40:03.680
 that

00:40:03.680 --> 00:40:03.820
 we'll

00:40:03.820 --> 00:40:04.160
 make a

00:40:04.160 --> 00:40:04.700
 choice

00:40:04.700 --> 00:40:06.600
 to

00:40:06.600 --> 00:40:06.960
 cling

00:40:06.960 --> 00:40:07.440
 to

00:40:07.440 --> 00:40:08.460
 to

00:40:08.460 --> 00:40:08.840
 draw

00:40:08.840 --> 00:40:09.320
 near

00:40:09.320 --> 00:40:10.480
 not

00:40:10.480 --> 00:40:10.680
 to

00:40:10.680 --> 00:40:10.960
 push

00:40:10.960 --> 00:40:11.380
 away

00:40:11.380 --> 00:40:12.340
 from

00:40:12.340 --> 00:40:12.560
 you

00:40:12.560 --> 00:40:12.880
 Jesus

00:40:12.880 --> 00:40:16.720
 so

00:40:16.720 --> 00:40:16.920
 as

00:40:16.920 --> 00:40:17.080
 you

00:40:17.080 --> 00:40:17.420
 hold

00:40:17.420 --> 00:40:17.620
 us

00:40:17.620 --> 00:40:17.840
 in

00:40:17.840 --> 00:40:18.040
 your

00:40:18.040 --> 00:40:18.600
 hand

00:40:18.600 --> 00:40:19.680
 may

00:40:19.680 --> 00:40:19.860
 we

00:40:19.860 --> 00:40:20.160
 cling

00:40:20.160 --> 00:40:20.600
 tightly

00:40:20.600 --> 00:40:20.860
 to

00:40:20.860 --> 00:40:21.160
 you

00:40:21.160 --> 00:40:24.000
 may

00:40:24.000 --> 00:40:24.160
 the

00:40:24.160 --> 00:40:24.440
 Christmas

00:40:24.440 --> 00:40:25.060
 season

00:40:25.060 --> 00:40:26.600

00:40:26.600 --> 00:40:26.800
 us

00:40:26.800 --> 00:40:27.020
 about

00:40:27.020 --> 00:40:27.540
 more

00:40:27.540 --> 00:40:28.660
 than

00:40:28.660 --> 00:40:28.900
 just

00:40:28.900 --> 00:40:29.140
 the

00:40:29.140 --> 00:40:29.600
