  This is part two of the legacy.
• 0:22
  What can we leave that will last?
• 0:24
  Should we give the future or of the past success or wealth or memories fast?
• 0:32
  There's only one thing that will last.
• 0:35
  But will they cherish and hold fast to the only thing that will last?
• 0:39
  As each day fades from sight and the day fades tonight, what do you give that they hold tight?
• 0:48
  Is it worth more than that widow's might?
• 0:51
  The gift of faith that widow had is her legacy that will last.
• 0:59
  We work and work to give of wealth, of future, of joy and of health.
• 1:04
  When our time is at the end and we leave this place with open hand, there's only one thing
• 1:10
  that will last.
• 1:11
  But will they cherish and hold fast to the only thing that will last?
• 1:17
  So what you leave is worth it all, of hope and joy and eternity's call.
• 1:22
  It's not the memory of your life nor your history or the fight.
• 1:27
  The legacy you leave is great as still.
• 1:30
  The one true gift of Father's will.
• 1:33
  There's only one thing that will last that they will cherish and hold fast of faith and
• 1:39
  hope and of the past.
• 1:42
  The legacy left that will last is Christ and his gospel be steadfast.
• 1:52
  Simplest out of all of this message is Matthew.
• 1:59
  Matthew 28.
• 2:02
  There's one thing that we need to be reminded of and remember continually is that all the
• 2:09
  things that we share and experience, the archives, the history speak not just of the lives that
• 2:20
  were given and the names that are remembered.
• 2:22
  But there's one truth that speaks louder still and that's the truth of the gospel.
• 2:31
  The gospel of Christ, the one true legacy and the one name that matters above all names.
• 2:41
  Matthew 28 verse 18 through 19, legacy of making disciples.
• 2:50
  And Jesus came and said to them, all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
• 2:55
  Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and
• 3:04
  of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
• 3:08
  As I said earlier, a legacy without obedience is not a legacy.
• 3:19
  It's important that we as God's people live out this legacy that he has left us from the
• 3:25
  beginning of time.
• 3:27
  This legacy was firmly established before the foundation of the world and his name is
• 3:31
  Jesus.
• 3:32
  He's your legacy.
• 3:34
  And this legacy is eternal.
• 3:38
  He always was and always will be.
• 3:39
  He's everlasting to everlasting and nothing will ever change the reality of that legacy.
• 3:47
  Not only is the gospel a person, but a legacy as a person also.
• 3:53
  All the things that he does to his people are just a picture of the legacy he has given
• 3:58
  us, the reality of himself.
• 4:02
  So he commands us as his people to be obedient.
• 4:06
  First, go and make disciples.
• 4:11
  Go make.
• 4:14
  Third, the responsibility is yours to baptize.
• 4:21
  Get them on the same road that you've been placed on.
• 4:25
  In the same way that you go and make, get them on the road to obedience that they may
• 4:29
  go and make also.
• 4:31
  That's why baptism is so vitally important to the reality of leaving the legacy.
• 4:38
  It's living the legacy.
• 4:42
  Verse 20 of Matthew 28, in all reality is probably the most crucial, which we've gone over and
• 4:51
  over and over in the first part of the service to teach your children to obey.
• 5:02
  That's what it says in verse 20, teaching them to observe all that I've commanded you
• 5:08
  and behold, I am with you always to the end of the age.
• 5:15
  So why is it so important?
• 5:22
  Why is it so important that we teach others to observe?
• 5:29
  We teach others to observe because a legacy that is not obedient is not a legacy at all.
• 5:41
  Let me go through the important keys of the legacy.
• 5:46
  The responsibility of the legacy is on you, that you must take care and keep your soul
• 5:55
  diligent and to teach, to make known this legacy to your children.
• 6:02
  The legacy must be taught that these words that I've commanded you today shall be on
• 6:06
  your heart and you shall teach them diligently, not only as you talk with them in the house,
• 6:12
  but as you walk along the way and as you lie down and as you rise.
• 6:17
  That you keep the legacy, that means to continue it, that you shall lay up the words of mine
• 6:23
  in your heart, that you shall bind those words of mine as a sign on your hand, that they
• 6:29
  shall be as frontlets between your eyes and that you shall teach them and talk of them
• 6:37
  and walk and lie down and rise with your children.
• 6:44
  And not only that, that everyone who comes to your home shall see the legacy written
• 6:51
  all over your house.
• 6:55
  A legacy is obedience lived and obedience given.
• 7:00
  Faithfully obey the voice of the Lord your God, be careful to do all.
• 7:05
  And if you obey the voice of the Lord your God, he will overtake you with blessing.
• 7:16
  The legacy that's left, we are reminded that the legacy lived is legacy given.
• 7:25
  For I've delivered to you as a first importance that I also received that Christ died for
• 7:32
  our sins in accordance with the scriptures, that he was buried and he was raised on the
• 7:38
  third day in accordance with the scriptures.
• 7:40
  That's the message of your legacy, that your responsibility to continue from generation
• 7:49
  to generation with this legacy is not only to be obedient but to give it away, that you
• 7:54
  make disciples and you teach disciples to be obedient so that they can give it away
• 8:01
  also.
• 8:03
  That's legacy.
• 8:04
  So let us enjoy our history, please don't forget their legacy.
• 8:13
  It's the same legacy that you've been given.
