OK. Welcome to Sunday school this morning. I'm glad everybody can make it. I've enjoyed studying this week for the lesson, so it's a plus. Not that I don't enjoy studying. Sometimes it gets a little tedious, and then I have to look up my dictionary and other books to try and understand what they're trying to say. But this week was pretty good, so I'm not going to complain. We'll try and get the prayer request at the end. I hope that's okay with y'all. If we have an end, I'm gonna set my alarm because I'm not sure how far we're gonna go. So I'll set it for around 10 o'clock and hopefully we can cut off then and then do our prayer request. I'll open up this morning and then we'll get into our Sunday school lesson. Heavenly Father, we thank you for the joy it is that we can come together as brethren and share your Word. We thank Heavenly Father for your Word, that you left it where we can know you. We thank you for the living Word, which is Jesus Christ. And we thank you for the written Word, so we can draw closer to you, that our relationship with you can build. And pray, Heavenly Father, that our desire is each and every day that we do grow closer to you. We do confess our sin, Heavenly Father. We're not perfect, and we're not going to hedge on sin. We know that we sin, and we just pray, Heavenly Father, that our advocate Jesus Christ is interceding for us, and we just praise you, Lord, that we can confess our sin and that he is able to be our intercessor. Thank you for this day. Thank you for Brother John as he brings our message today. I pray that he's faithful in the word, that he presents it, and that the understanding is for us to be a witness for you and to live a life that glorifies you. In Jesus' name we pray, amen. Okay. If I can keep up with this, I think I've got it on. I jumped ahead already, didn't get started. Our catechism question, and we do catechize here, and that's not that we're Catholic, but it's that we do use catechism to help us understand God's word. It is all based on scripture. So hopefully we can get some understanding with that and understand God's commandments and what he has for us. Our question this morning is number 66. It says, what is forbidden in the Fourth Commandment? We're probably going to stay on this for a little bit. I do like this, the Fourth Commandment, if you would read it with me. The fourth commandment forbiddeth the omission or careless performance of the duties required, and the profaning the day-by-day idleness, or doing that which is in itself sinful, or by unnecessary thoughts, words, or works about worldly employments or recreations. We've been talking about playing sports on Sundays. I think we mentioned it last Sunday. So it kind of encompasses quite a bit. The memory verse that Brother John picked out. I will read it this morning. We're actually going to discuss Ezekiel because it ties into the text as far as the catechism question. But the memory verse that he has picked out is Exodus 20, 9 and 10. It says, six days you shall labor and do all your work. But the seventh day is a Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall not do any work, you or your son or your daughter, your male or your female servant, or your cattle or your sojourner who stays with you. I actually picked out this verse. It says, her priests have done violence to my law and have profaned my holy things. They have made no distinction between the holy and the profane, and they have not taught the difference between the unclean and the clean, and they hide their eyes from my Sabbaths, and I am profaned among them. I kind of picked this out because it is actually discussing the priest. who were in charge of the temple and the priest actually had gone away from God's word and they were actually not teaching the people God's law. They were circumventing and they were not instructing properly. So the people naturally had been led astray into idolatry. If you want to say their sins were as great as the days of Noah, it was pretty close to it because they were in idol worship. They were in sexual sin. They were in murder. I mean, they were doing everything. So the priest were leading people astray. So God was letting them know that he was not pleased with them. In fact, it was so bad that the priest couldn't even tell what were the holy things. versus the unholy things. And that's pretty rough. But if you look at our society today, we're kind of in the same place, aren't we? The world is teaching that it's okay for just about anything to go. I mean, you can do just about anything. And the reason why they say is, we're free, we have a right to do it, we can control our own destiny. The problem is, is they're leaving out God. And Christians, even more today, need to start standing up, not being afraid of what God's commandments are, and let the world know, hey, this is not OK. And we need to take and revert back to God's standards. So the priests were violating these things. They were actually even giving false visions, false They were saying, they used that phrase, thus saith the Lord, and that's not a good phrase to use when you're not actually standing and representing God. And that's what they were doing. They were dishonest in their dealings with the people. They actually had arranged some murders. They were involved in the economy politically. They were out for their own self-will. They were out for their own self-motives, for riches, for honor, for their own glory. And God was saying, we are not going to tolerate this. And that's in Ezekiel. In fact, they went into captivity not too far after Ezekiel 22. I chose a New Testament scripture because I wanted to coincide with the Old Testament. It's not that this was happening in Old Testament times before Christ. It was actually happening in the New Testament times. When Christ came to earth, he was incarnated, and he had his ministry. And early in his ministry, I picked a verse here for Matthew 2, I'm sorry, 21, 13, 12 through 13. Let me see if I actually wrote it up here. No, I did not. Okay. Matthew 21. Kyann, have you got your scripture available? If you don't mind reading Matthew 21, 12 through 13. And then we'll get into a little bit of discussion on this. Okay, so in Jesus' times, the synagogue was a central point of the Jewish community. They met there for worship. They met there sometimes for business affairs. Unfortunately, what they were doing was illegal as far as the activities they were pursuing. And the priests actually were involved in this because they were getting a kickback. So Jesus was in the temple. This is late in this ministry. You can see that in the same scripture in Mark 11, 15 through 18 and Luke 19, 45 through 46. John actually gives an earlier version in John chapter two. But in this version here, Jesus had come to the temple and the outer courts, you remember who the outer courts were for? Gentiles, right. The Gentiles could not enter into the synagogue, could they? They had to go to the outer courts in order to worship and to pray. So this should be a good indication for us to realize that God came to save those that were lost, including the Gentiles, because God actually had a place for them to come and worship Him. Whose job was it to tell them about Yahweh? The Jews, right? And whose job is it to tell the world about Christ today? The church, right? So we have that responsibility. Unfortunately, a lot of churches do not proclaim the gospel and do not proclaim as individual Christians the gospel. I don't know if they're ashamed or if they're afraid they're going to say the wrong thing. And sometimes the toughest people to witness to are your own relatives, aren't they? It is for me. As you know, my brother, I told you that I'm not sure he was a Christian, but I did not mind witnessing to him. But some of my sisters and brothers were a little afraid that they didn't want to offend him. And my concern wasn't that I was going to offend him. My concern was that I wasn't going to be truthful with him. So it's better to be truthful and let them come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit. Or if God's not going to save them, that's OK. That's up to God, right? But as far as we're concerned, we have done our job. So Jesus had, sorry we got off on a side track, Jesus had set up the outer court for the Gentiles. So the merchants had come into the temple and they had brought animals. money changers, and the reason why they brought money changers is they wanted a certain coin because it had better metal in it. So the money changers were there to take foreign currency of people coming from other countries, and they would exchange the foreign currency for the coin that they wanted donated to the synagogue. And I think it was, I think it was a tax, I'm not sure. I can't remember off the top of my head. Anybody remember? Yeah, they had a currency exchange rate. But the donation, I shouldn't say donation. I believe it was a tax that each individual had to come to the temple to pay once a year. I think they had to pay some kind of, it was either an offering or a tax. I don't remember, I'm sorry. I read it and I just don't remember off the top of my head. So they accept the money changers. The animals, they should not have had animals there. Why? If they were bringing an animal to the synagogue, it was for a sin offering, right? What was the requirement for a sin offering in the temple? I'm sorry? Yes, it had to be clean. In other words, it had to be unblemished, right? It could not have any defects. In other words, you could not bring a lamb with three legs, okay? You couldn't bring a dove with one wing. It had to be a perfect sacrifice, okay? So it had to be unblemished, and the people brought these things, but the priest had set up with the merchants, we want you to take and sell them Lamb or a turtle dove or whatever the offering was and you can make the money and we're going to get a little bit of kickback So the priest would say this animal did not qualify for a sacrifice so they had to go to the Vendor that was there that was selling animals. They had to buy another animal maybe trade in a perfectly good animal that would be resold later. So they were making money not only off that animal, but off the animal that was traded in that was perfectly able to be sacrificed. So Jesus came in and he was upset. He said, this is not the way my father's house should be. He says, it is a house of prayer. So, yes, ma'am. Yes, the the actual lamb was supposed to be picked 14 days prior to offering and it had to be evaluated during that time frame, and then if it was not perfect, they had to pick, you know, select another one. So, yeah, there was a process in which they were supposed to go through to make sure they had a perfect lamb. So, Jesus saw this. He saw the corruptness of the priest, and he actually quoted Isaiah 56, 7. He says, for my house will be called a house of prayer for all the peoples. So this is something Jesus was upset with. Just as in Ezekiel, God was upset with the priest because they were not fulfilling their duties. They were not being honest with the people. They were not spreading the word and teaching the scriptures as they should have. So Jesus was trying to correct that. He was not happy at all when he went into the temple. Any questions on that? I took a little time with that, but I wanted to make sure that we understood. But are we off the hook? How can we profane Sunday? Or how can we come in? I believe it says, let's go back and read that. It says, the fourth commandment forbiddeth the omission or careless performance of the duties required, the profaning the day by idleness, or doing that which is in itself sinful, or by unnecessary thoughts, words, or works about worldly employments or recreations. So how do we violate this? What are some ways that we can? Okay, so instead of maybe sharing scriptures at the house, we do watch too much TV. That big old one-eyed monster has got all of us, doesn't it? It's captivating us. In fact, that is the greatest thing that the government has ever done and the commercials and the programs that they put out to teach worldly view of things. There is not one thing on TV that does not teach a worldly view. I love some of the programs. Let's see, 9-1-1, I like 9-1-1. That's a program that's about emergency responders and stuff, but it teaches a worldly view of homosexuality, permissiveness, out-of-wedlock marriage, adultery, murder. I mean, it teaches all these things, and that's not the way we Christians should be living. So, your kids, are being indoctrinated, even through cartoons, to look at this stuff. And then it's no wonder when they grow up and they go off to college that they come back and they claim that they're atheists because they don't, they're not able to stand on the scriptures that they should know and understand what God's plan is for us. And they cannot deal with it in college because professors like to intimidate them. So, make sure when your kids are going to college, make sure they understand why they believe what they believe, what it is that God has set up for us, and how we're to live. Because if you don't, you're going to get a child come back and all of a sudden they're saying, don't believe in God. And it happens all the time. Okay? Any comments on that? So we need to be careful ourselves. We can violate this also. And God looks at what? The heart, right? He looks at our intent. Okay, any questions on any part of that or anything? I'll catch up to my slides here in a minute, I hope. Okay. Sermon title. We've been in Hebrews, first three verses, chapter 12. This is our fifth week. And we'll be in it next week. So it'll be our sixth week. This week, the title of his sermon was The Right Hand of the Throne of God, Part Two, and he used a unifying theme, and we should see this through what we're gonna discuss today. I purposely wanted to make sure we understood who Jesus Christ is, and it says, Jesus Christ has accomplished redemption for his people as evidenced by his sitting down at the right hand of the throne of God. So when we talk about redemption, what is that? Okay, is it just forgiveness? Redemption, what is that? What does that mean? There is a price paid for us. And that was Jesus Christ, right? In other words, God's standard had to be met for a perfect price, perfect sacrifice, to be made for mankind. Okay? So, it's like that coupon you have in, you get in the newspaper, and my wife loves those. So, when you use the coupon, it reduces the price, but it also purchases the product that you want. But you have to pay a price, and that's what was required of Jesus Christ. Okay, so Jesus Christ has accomplished, or you can say Jesus Christ has paid the price for his people as evidenced by sitting down at the right hand throne of God. We're gonna get into sitting down at the right hand throne of God. Reuben, would you mind reading our scripture for today? It'd be Hebrews 12, if y'all don't mind turning to it. Hebrews 12, one through three. Yes, sir. Therefore, since you have to obey a God who consists around us, let's also live by obeying the congruence and the sin, which is so easily and happily done, and that is from His endurance, your faith is his support. Fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who, for the joy said before, Okay, so we have gone through the first two scriptures, and we've discussed who the witnesses were, and two, it says that we're to fix our eyes on Jesus, not because only that he's our example, but that he is the author and finisher of our faith, okay? And then the rest of what we're going to be studying today, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand throne of God. I am going to start with the scriptures, but I'm going to start with Hebrews first. Brother John did last week. I like that, the way he started. We're going to go through part of Hebrews. probably verse two, and then we're gonna get into the Old Testament, Psalm 110. I love Psalm 110. That points directly to what we're actually talking about today. Hebrews. Focus. I wanted to focus on who for the joy set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand throne When I read that, I was trying to say to myself, what joy could Jesus Christ have been looking at when he was going to be dying on the cross to pay our penalty for sin, the perfect sacrifice, and death at the same time? What joy could he be looking at? Because I wouldn't have been looking at that, I'll be honest. If I was in prison and I knew I was getting ready to hit the electric chair, I'm not sure I would see much joy there. Okay? So Christ, all man, all God, so we know that he's God, but he's also human. He's gonna have to suffer, and he is looking at the cross, and yet the Bible says that, who for the joy set before him. So I started thinking, what joy, and I've got some things listed there, but can you see any other joy that Christ would have been looking at? The first thing I put was full obedience to the Father. In other words, he came to earth, he volunteered, he left heaven, he came to earth in the flesh as a baby, he had to live through this life, He had to suffer through this life. He had to work. He had to take and have feelings as far as heartbreak, pain. I mean, everything that we go through as a human, he had to go through, and yet he was fully obedient to the Father. And in completing the redemption of those whom God calls unto salvation, without his perfect obedience, he could not have redeemed us. There would have been no other sacrifice. There was nothing else available. God's plan that the Trinity chose to do and knew that they had to do was that Christ would have to come in the form of a baby and live in the flesh and die for us. So that full obedience allowed us to have redemption because the first Adam failed, right? Resurrection and returning to the glory he had before the incarnation. I can see that he would be thinking about that. I would certainly want it. I mean, first I'm gonna die, but I know that I'm gonna be resurrected, and I'm gonna be able to return home to heaven with the Father, and I will receive the glory that I had when I was already in heaven. In fact, 2 Peter says his name was fully exalted. Yes, ma'am? Yes, ma'am. Yeah. Yes, ma'am good point that's I think that's a perfect legitimate point Because he was thinking of us, right? I Mean if he wasn't he wouldn't have gone through with it but he was thinking of us and he was thinking like she said of the church and Right? That we would be with him because we are the bride of Christ, right? So yes, great point. Any other thoughts on that? That was good insight. Anyone else? I'm sure there's other things. My mental capacity probably couldn't come up with more than what I just put on the board. But anything else that you can think of? scripture that would possibly give you indication? That's a tough question there. Okay, the second point, joy before Him endured the cross. And I would like for us to turn to Isaiah 53. I'm not going to sit and read all of Isaiah 53. But I do want us to go through a little bit of Isaiah 53. That's one of the servant songs, and it is about the Christ who came to suffer and to die for us. Old Testament. Okay. I'm going to read a couple of verses just to bring up some stuff that I was looking at. Starting in verse 3, he was despised and forsaken of men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief, And like one from whom men hide their face, he was despised and we did not esteem him." This is dealing with his relationship with other people, right? When he went back to Bethlehem where he was born, right, his people rejected him. They said, this is Joseph's son. He's son of a carpenter. What in the world does he know? Or who does he think he is? It's like when we become a Christian, we start witnessing to family and friends as well. Who in the world does he think he is? He was doing this and he was doing that. And, you know, they're quick to bring up our sins. But yet, this man had no sin. And he was made fun of. They did not appreciate him, and they did not accept him. In fact, his own family, his brothers, actually did not believe in him until after his death. And he grew up with them. So that's tough, isn't it? Verse 5, but he was pierced through for our transgressions. He was crushed for our iniquities. The chastening for our well-being fell upon him, and by His scourging, we are healed. That reminds me that he was pierced in the side, right? That's the reason why they did not break his legs. They found him to be dead already because of the water and the blood that flowed out of his side. Crushed, that's a Hebrew word. It's called daka, and I'm not good at Hebrew, It's a real simple word, so I can write this one. And it's called da-ka in southern language. D-A-W-K-A-W is how it's actually pronounced, and that's the reason why they list it like that. And it actually is a Hebrew word that means to bruise the beat to pieces. to break in pieces, to crush, to destroy, to humble, to oppress, and to smite. I mean, I'm not sure what else we could do to him, right? But it says he was crushed for our iniquities. The beating that he took by the soldiers, by the Jewish leaders, He was not even recognizable as a human when he went on the cross. I mean, that's how bad it was. His hair had been pulled out on his chin, on his hair. He had been slapped. He had been beat with the whip, with the nine tails that actually just tears the flesh off of you. And if you imagine that's on his back, and when he's hanging on the cross, his back is rubbing on the tree. And every time he moved up to take a breath and to speak, it just rubbed that even more into the cross. I mean, this was brutal, what he went through. I haven't seen the Mel Gibson movie. Anybody remember the name of it? The Passion of Christ. Anybody seen that? I've never been able to bring myself around to be able to see it. I don't know that I could. That was my sin and your sin that put Him up there, right? Verse 6, all of us like sheep have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way, but the Lord has caused the iniquity of us all to fall on Him. So on the cross, he had all of our sin placed on him. He was that sacrifice, the perfect sacrifice that only he could bring the forgiveness of sins. In fact, the Bible says that he took God's wrath for sin against him. One day he's coming back and his wrath is going to be taken out on the world. I don't think even God's wrath on the world is gonna be as bad as it was against his own son. I think that was the wrath that I don't think anyone could ever withstand except the Son of God. And that's the reason why only the Son of God could redeem us. The man, the perfect man, perfect sacrifice, okay? Verse 10, but the Lord was pleased to crush him, putting him to grief. God the Father crushed his own son. Moses was to take his son up and offer him as a sacrifice, right? There was no other sacrifice for Christ. There was no substitute. This is what was required by the father. And he crushed his own son. Verse 12, the last part of it, because he poured out himself to death and was numbered with the transgressors, yet he himself bore the sin of many and interceded for the transgressors. So he willingly died on the cross so that you and I could have salvation. I'm wondering, I hope this comes back up. If I don't, we're in trouble. Okay, good. All right, despising the shame. Alex, would you mind reading Philippians 2, 6 through 8? I want to go through that a little bit. I want us to understand what shame we're talking about here. And some of y'all might have a good insight on some of this, I hope. Any questions on Isaiah 53? Any insights on that? Okay, Philippians 2, 6 through 8. Okay. What, and we've used this scripture many times, and I know Brother John has preached through it, or actually, I think we got through part of it. I don't think we ever finished. What is this telling you about, why is this shame? I mean, what are we looking at here? What is it saying that Jesus did? Who was he? Okay, who was he? Who is Jesus Christ? He's the Son of God. Okay, so he's part of the Trinity, three persons, one being. So he is God. And he was with the Father. He was with the Holy Spirit. He was in a perfect place because they do not know sin. So there's nothing around them that would corrupt them because they're not corruptible. And he is with them and he agrees that he's going to leave heaven and come to earth as a man. So if he's God and he becomes man, that's tough, ain't it? Would that not be shame? I mean, you lower yourself to come down to live with man? And he took on a bond servant. He didn't even come as a king, which he could have. He will come back this time. When he comes back the second time, he will be coming back as a king. But he came as a servant. And the servant was to God the Father, right? He came to seek and to save those that are lost. So he came as a servant to the Father. and served mankind while he was here. And it showed who he was. And for those that say he never claimed to be God, if you look through the scriptures, he never claimed not to be God. There's not one instance where he never claimed not to be God. And that's the reason why the Sadducees and the Pharisees couldn't pursue any arguments with him. They just couldn't understand. They didn't have the intellect to try and even deal with it. Even though they knew scriptures, they still couldn't deal with it. So he came in a bond servant in the likeness of man, and we were fallen from perfection down here to deal with us. We're a mess, aren't we? It came from heaven down to earth as a man and had to live as a man to the point of death and he gave up his own life for us, right? I just wanted us to read through that because despising the shame, I mean the shame of the cross, the cruelty of it, the shame of having to carry our sins The shame that he had to endure the wrath of God. It's 10 o'clock already. We're not going to get through, are we? Sunday we might be able to get through Psalm 110, but we'll finish a few minutes here. I'd put enough there, I'd just put, if that wasn't enough, he was accused of blasphemy by the religious leaders. He claimed to be God and yet they said he wasn't. He was mocked. He was beaten beyond recognition. He had everything abused against him. And he sat down at the right hand of the throne of God, and that's Philippians 2, 9 through 11. We're not going to be able to get any further. I am sorry. Maybe we can hit a couple of topics. I'm hoping we can get into Psalm 110 next Sunday. If we can't, that'll be okay. I would like to be able to finish Psalm 110 because it is a perfect picture of who our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is. So maybe we can get into that since I'll be teaching next Sunday. And we'll try and tie in this week's sermon to next week's. He's out of town. He's got some things he's having to do. He's getting ready to get married, so I'm sure he's got a load on him. And I think his mom and his sister are needing probably a little bit of help and assistance. All right, we did not get into our prayer request. Let's do that now. Next week we'll try and get through part of the other. If you'll read through Psalm 110, make some notes for yourself. I think you'll see how this scripture, this Messianic scripture, is a perfect picture of Christ and how it applies to Hebrews 12, one through three. Okay, any prayer requests for this week? Any new ones? I've got a list of several. Mary? Okay, let me get over to you, Mary. And Michelle, she's the one that takes care of them. Okay. Okay. Any other prayer request? My friend, Marty, asked for prayer for him at the care facility. He's been calling for COVID. Thankfully, he's doing all right. He's in isolation, which is great for him personally, but not being able to see people for a while, and he's having bad leg cramps, so he's not going to be able to sleep. This is not a cause from the COVID, is it? The other, okay. Okay. All right. Any others? Marcel? Vacation or you're military? Military. Is it a deployment or some training? Oh, fun time. We'll definitely be praying for you. Okay, any others? Yeah, Charlene and Dale. And you say Pat? Is he also battling cancer? Yes, he is. And he's in his 80s. I'm getting close to there. I'm not there yet. It won't be much longer, though. I'm right behind you. Karen and Danny, they were standing in this motel up there. You talk about Burbank. And then they left, and they parked in front of the church, because there was nothing at the church. I mean, there was no church. How many people go into the church? Blacks only. So they're homeless right now? Yeah. OK. I can't help but look for a place to call home. Three bedrooms and just asking the ladies how much for them. I thought like 700. That's what she's looking for. No, it's more than 700. Are they both working? Are they both working? He doesn't work anymore. Okay. All right. There are some. There are aging. They hadn't done anything for the outfit, you know, to get it fixed up. There are agencies that probably can help them. You just have to refer them to them. And there's another house, too, down there. So Karen and Daniel. Any others? Yes. Monica, my ex-daughter-in-law. She had cancer. She had a tumor. I guess it was probably three times larger than what she was. I thought I had Monica written down, but I didn't. Okay. All right. Any other? Jolie. Jolie. Mary, Mary. Okay, Jolie, Jolie. I'm not good at pronouncing names. Is that Italian? Okay, I thought it was. Okay, any other prayer request? Okay, I'll close us in prayer and then we'll, hopefully men, if you would, come back and pray with us in the room back there, right after class. Heavenly Father, we come to you and we have many that are mentioned here. Monica, who has pancreatic cancer. We've got Julie, who was hit and run. We've got Marty, who is fighting can't COVID right now. And he's been having some issues with his legs. Charlene and Dale and Pat. We've got Lillian, Greg, Bill and Sheila and Michelle, all these have been mentioned. We have others we know, Lord, that have physical needs and some spiritual. We just pray, Heavenly Father, for your mercy and grace to be shown to each one of these. We pray first, always, for salvation, for them to be aware that they do need a Savior and that the Holy Spirit will convict them or they can receive eternal life. We pray, Heavenly Father, for them physically. We know that You're sovereign and there's a purpose for all things. And while we don't understand, we do know that all things are done for Your glory. And we do pray, Heavenly Father, for our nation. We're an ungodly nation, Lord. I pray for Christians in the United States, Lord, that we will repent and return to You as our only God. that we will be more faithful and that we will serve you with love and with understanding of who we are in Christ.
