Speaker 1: He was one of the most recognizable voices in American sports,
0:12
Speaker 1: a celebrity who called professional football games for decades. But
0:16
Speaker 1: behind the fane, Pat Summerle was slowly dying alone on
0:21
Speaker 1: a bathroom floor, choking on his own brokenness. Pat finally
0:25
Speaker 1: ran out of places to hide. What he discovered next
0:29
Speaker 1: changed everything. Jesus said, come to me all who are
0:33
Speaker 1: weary and heavy lady, and I will give you rest.
0:37
Speaker 1: Not a sermon, not a finger pointed in shame, just
0:40
Speaker 1: rest Today on insight for living, jucks Wundahl reminds us
0:45
Speaker 1: that grace doesn't lecture. It stoops and it rescues.
0:58
Speaker 2: Love that reaches up is love that reaches out is affection. Ah,
1:04
Speaker 2: but love that stoops is grace. It isn't complete till
1:09
Speaker 2: you get to the part where he stoops and picks
1:13
Speaker 2: us up and puts us on our feet. It's with
1:16
Speaker 2: that symbol in mind we turn to Philippians chapter two
1:21
Speaker 2: and look at these verses that are truly, as one
1:26
Speaker 2: man wrote, the greatest and most moving passage Paul Ever
1:30
Speaker 2: wrote about Jesus. Greatest and most moving passage Paul Ever
1:36
Speaker 2: wrote about Jesus just as a beautiful diamond needs a
1:40
Speaker 2: setting for it to serve a practical purpose, so versus
1:46
Speaker 2: a scripture need the context the setting. Now, this setting
1:50
Speaker 2: is about thinking along the same lines see verse one.
1:54
Speaker 2: If therefore, there is any encouragement in Christ, any consolation
1:58
Speaker 2: of love, any fellowship with the Spirit, in the affection
2:02
Speaker 2: and compassion, make my joy complete. Look closely by being
2:06
Speaker 2: of the same mind. If you think together, you'll get
2:10
Speaker 2: along together. If you think about the same things the
2:12
Speaker 2: same way together, you'll have a closeness of fellowship, maintaining
2:17
Speaker 2: the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose.
2:21
Speaker 2: In fact, he goes further, and I can feel that
2:24
Speaker 2: long index finger of the apostle pounding against my sternum.
2:29
Speaker 2: As he says, do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit,
2:35
Speaker 2: but with humility of mind. We're back to our thinking.
2:38
Speaker 2: With humility of mind, Let each of you regard one
2:42
Speaker 2: another is more important than himself. That is Christianity in
2:46
Speaker 2: a nutshell. Those of us who are unselfish and are
2:52
Speaker 2: not driven by empty conceit, who possess the humility of mind.
2:56
Speaker 2: God help us all to go there. Regard one another
3:01
Speaker 2: is more important than ourselves. We don't look out for
3:03
Speaker 2: our own personal interest. We look out for the interests
3:06
Speaker 2: of others. And Paul suddenly thinks, I need an example,
3:12
Speaker 2: I need an illustration. We say, it is the cloquialism
3:16
Speaker 2: of our time. I need it for instance, for example,
3:20
Speaker 2: and that leads him to the classic illustration of Jesus.
3:25
Speaker 2: Not surprisingly, he shows us Jesus in his condescension from
3:30
Speaker 2: heaven to Earth, from the throne room of God to
3:34
Speaker 2: the cross in the verses that follow. Now, this section
3:40
Speaker 2: is magnificent because it covers three facets of a scene
3:45
Speaker 2: that boggles the mind. In no other scene and scripture
3:50
Speaker 2: are you able to get into the mind of the
3:53
Speaker 2: crucified one like here. This is the best section. It
3:58
Speaker 2: describes him before he came to earth verse six, It
4:04
Speaker 2: describes in his coming as a servant verse seven, and
4:08
Speaker 2: the early part of verse eight, and then it describes
4:11
Speaker 2: his sacrifice on a cross into verse eight. Let's go
4:15
Speaker 2: before his incarnation, referring to Christ Jesus who although he
4:22
Speaker 2: existed in the form of God form of God. The
4:29
Speaker 2: Greek term is morphe or phe. We have it in
4:34
Speaker 2: the middle of our word metamorphosis. In its original term,
4:39
Speaker 2: it meant the essential form that doesn't change. Keep that
4:44
Speaker 2: in mind. There's another word that is often translated form,
4:49
Speaker 2: and it's it's schema s e h e m A.
4:54
Speaker 2: We got a word scheme from it. They're different. Schema
4:58
Speaker 2: represents a form that changes. You say what, So let
5:02
Speaker 2: me explain it further. We are inform human beings. We
5:07
Speaker 2: are not less or more than. We are human beings
5:11
Speaker 2: from conception until death. We are human beings. That's our morphe. However,
5:19
Speaker 2: our schema is described in the stages we've been through
5:22
Speaker 2: as human beings. We begin as small as a period
5:27
Speaker 2: at the end of the sentence. Cynthia taught me that
5:29
Speaker 2: when she was pregnant with our children, that little thing
5:32
Speaker 2: inside me is the size of a period and at
5:34
Speaker 2: the end of a sentence. So we begin as an embryo,
5:37
Speaker 2: and then we grow to feed us and then we
5:41
Speaker 2: become a newborn. Our schema is changing. The newborn becomes
5:48
Speaker 2: a little baby, and as we begin to walk and
5:52
Speaker 2: talk and eat, or at least feed ourselves, we become
5:56
Speaker 2: little children. Our schema is little children grow into preteenagers,
6:05
Speaker 2: and then finally teenagers, and then young adults, and then adults,
6:09
Speaker 2: and then middle adults and then honory adults. You reach
6:12
Speaker 2: a final stage of ornery, where you are growing older.
6:17
Speaker 2: Your schemaw keeps changing, but your morphe remains human. Back
6:22
Speaker 2: to the verse who, although he existed in the unchanging deity,
6:30
Speaker 2: the form of God. Second part of the verse is
6:34
Speaker 2: equally important. He didn't regard equality with God, something to clutch,
6:40
Speaker 2: something to cling to, but he released that privileged position. Now,
6:48
Speaker 2: don't think for a moment he stopped being God. That's
6:51
Speaker 2: where the cults will take you away from the truth.
6:55
Speaker 2: He's just a man when he came to this earth,
6:57
Speaker 2: and as a man he was subject to all the
7:00
Speaker 2: things of humanity, including sin wrong. As God, he knew
7:06
Speaker 2: no sin, did no sin, had no sin. Scripture states
7:09
Speaker 2: that I love that translation in the New American Standard Bible,
7:14
Speaker 2: the verb means to clutch. If you're in a crowd
7:18
Speaker 2: and a thief is running through the group and grabs
7:20
Speaker 2: your purse, Ladies, he will or she will clutch the
7:23
Speaker 2: person run. It's the word used of a thief or
7:28
Speaker 2: a robber clutching something, but in this case it isn't
7:30
Speaker 2: a robber. It's God himself, Jesus, the son of God,
7:35
Speaker 2: existing in the unchanging deity of his essence. He did
7:42
Speaker 2: not regard that position in heaven something he would clutch
7:46
Speaker 2: and hold on to and not release. Why because he's
7:49
Speaker 2: humble of heart. Because to come to our rescue, he
7:52
Speaker 2: couldn't remain in heaven. So the plan of salvation required
7:57
Speaker 2: his giving up his will and releasing what had been
8:01
Speaker 2: his privileged position. And if you want to think of
8:05
Speaker 2: something remarkable, imagine that the resplendent glory of the throne
8:11
Speaker 2: room of the Godhead, surrounded by the presence angels and
8:17
Speaker 2: the seraphim who flooded the throne of God with their praises,
8:22
Speaker 2: having no need, knowing no pain, experiencing no rejection or mistreatment.
8:28
Speaker 2: He existed in that ideal place as God. But he
8:35
Speaker 2: said to the Father, yes, I will go. Unless you go,
8:41
Speaker 2: there will not be a sacrifice. I will be that sacrifice.
8:47
Speaker 2: So he did not regard it something to clutch. And
8:51
Speaker 2: so what did he do well? He became a servant,
8:54
Speaker 2: expressed very clearly at the beginning of verse seven. He
8:57
Speaker 2: emptied himself all sorts of theories called the knotic theory
9:03
Speaker 2: k E n O t C. Knotic from the Greek
9:08
Speaker 2: term kenosis, which is the word for emptying translated here
9:13
Speaker 2: in that way of what did he empty himself? JB.
9:19
Speaker 2: Lightfoot says he divested himself, But of what did he
9:24
Speaker 2: stop being God? What did he empty himself up? If
9:29
Speaker 2: you carry a Riary Study Bible, you will see in
9:32
Speaker 2: the footnote this sentence, very helpful sentence. It does not
9:37
Speaker 2: mean he surrendered iny attributes of deity, but that he
9:41
Speaker 2: took on the limitations of humanity wonderful words, wonderful description
9:47
Speaker 2: without releasing any of his deity. He took on all
9:52
Speaker 2: the limitations of humanity. More specifically, he voluntarily set aside
9:59
Speaker 2: the independence the use of his divine attributes when he
10:03
Speaker 2: became a man, undiminished deity in true humanity. One person
10:13
Speaker 2: called the incarnation the incarnation God in flesh. For the
10:21
Speaker 2: first time ever and never to be changed. Deity became humanity,
10:28
Speaker 2: true humanity, true humanity, no play acting. He wasn't part
10:33
Speaker 2: angels sprouting wings, didn't have a halo, didn't glow, didn't
10:39
Speaker 2: walk around a white robe, spotless sandals, going ooh, cross
10:45
Speaker 2: hanging around his neck, didn't know That's all caricature. Had
10:49
Speaker 2: he walked on this earth today and we're doing what
10:52
Speaker 2: he came to do. You wouldn't pick him out as
10:54
Speaker 2: anyone different, just another human being, this case, another Jewish adult,
11:00
Speaker 2: another Jewish baby, grew to be a teenager, grew to
11:03
Speaker 2: be an adult. Most of us are older than he
11:06
Speaker 2: ever became on this earth. Amazing, true man. What does
11:11
Speaker 2: that mean? It means It means when he cried his
11:17
Speaker 2: cheeks were wet with tears. Means when he was working
11:20
Speaker 2: in the carpenter shop and cut himself, it means he bled.
11:24
Speaker 2: It means when he slept he snored. How's that he
11:28
Speaker 2: hadn't thought of that before, had you? It means when
11:32
Speaker 2: he stumbled with his toe he fell. It means when
11:35
Speaker 2: his heart was broken, he grieved. It means when he
11:38
Speaker 2: was tired he went to bed. Means when he was hungry,
11:42
Speaker 2: he ate food. When he was thirsty, he drank liquids.
11:48
Speaker 2: He eliminated them, just as we do. He was true humanity. However,
11:54
Speaker 2: he was God. He was the lamb of God who
11:58
Speaker 2: took away the sins of the world. Look at the
12:02
Speaker 2: picture that Paul paints. No time to develop it all.
12:05
Speaker 2: I wish I could. He emptied himself taking the form
12:10
Speaker 2: of a bond servant being made in the likeness of
12:15
Speaker 2: a man found in appearance as a man. Here's our
12:20
Speaker 2: word again. He humbled himself, becoming obedient to the point
12:29
Speaker 2: of death, even a cross kind of death, obedient to
12:33
Speaker 2: whom the father death, death, death, death, death, heart stop beating,
12:43
Speaker 2: But not just any death. The absence of a definite
12:47
Speaker 2: article is significant, not on the cross, but on a cross.
12:51
Speaker 2: If your version reads the cross, it's a misstatement. It
12:55
Speaker 2: should read a cross obedient to death. On a cross.
12:59
Speaker 2: When there is an absence of a definite article, the
13:01
Speaker 2: emphasis falls on the quality of the subject. A cross
13:06
Speaker 2: kind of death. All that a cross represented was his
13:11
Speaker 2: to endure.
13:13
Speaker 1: If F.
13:14
Speaker 2: Bruce puts it in words, you will never forget. It
13:17
Speaker 2: is difficult for us, after so many centuries during which
13:22
Speaker 2: the cross has been venerated as a sacred symbol, to
13:26
Speaker 2: realize the unspeakable horror, the disgust that the mention, the
13:32
Speaker 2: very thought of the cross provoked. In polite Roman society,
13:38
Speaker 2: the word cross was an obscenity, not to be uttered
13:42
Speaker 2: in conversation. This utterly vile form of punishment was that
13:50
Speaker 2: which Jesus endured, and by enduring it, he turned that
13:53
Speaker 2: shameful instrument of torture into the object of his followers.
13:59
Speaker 2: Proudest boast. Paul wrote, as for me, I will boast
14:04
Speaker 2: only about the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ Galatians
14:08
Speaker 2: six fourteen, and incomprehensible turning upside down of all the
14:14
Speaker 2: accepted values of his day. It was an obscenity. In
14:20
Speaker 2: our day. It's jeweled and finds its way around the
14:23
Speaker 2: necks of women and men. In our day, sometime the
14:29
Speaker 2: most decorative part of a church is a cross. How incorrect.
14:37
Speaker 2: When we were designing this building, I had very little
14:40
Speaker 2: to do with most of it. That's why it looks
14:42
Speaker 2: so great. I kept my hands out of it. But
14:47
Speaker 2: I had a lot to do with the cross. No
14:51
Speaker 2: special super duper lighting, no bronze, no glistening glitter, the
15:00
Speaker 2: sandpaper off of the wood. Let's use timber that's rugged,
15:06
Speaker 2: no stain, no finish. Let's hang it so that it's
15:11
Speaker 2: clearly obvious, not to worship, but to remind us it's
15:18
Speaker 2: a symbol. And we have done that. It weighs perhaps
15:23
Speaker 2: four hundred and fifty five hundred pounds. The vertical is
15:26
Speaker 2: fourteen feet long and the horizontal about eight feet across.
15:31
Speaker 2: The leather straps in the middle came from an idea
15:34
Speaker 2: I saw in Jerusalem, where as accurate as I could
15:38
Speaker 2: research it. The cross beam was strapped to the vertical beam.
15:42
Speaker 2: He only carried the cross beam. He couldn't carry that
15:45
Speaker 2: much weight. The cross beam is about two hundred pounds.
15:49
Speaker 2: He dragged that, and when that found its way to
15:53
Speaker 2: the cross, it was strapped onto the vertical because other
15:56
Speaker 2: victims would be used, so they would unstrap it and
15:58
Speaker 2: have another victim carry the crossbeam, and on and on
16:01
Speaker 2: we could go. May I shock you maybe even more
16:06
Speaker 2: vivid if we would hang there an electric chair or
16:11
Speaker 2: a syringe used in capital punishment. It is an instrument
16:16
Speaker 2: of horror so disgusting to his culture and day you
16:22
Speaker 2: didn't even use the word cross and sophisticated societies. Even
16:30
Speaker 2: death on a cross, it is a dreadful thing. It
16:37
Speaker 2: is a vile thing. What do I camp on it
16:41
Speaker 2: like this? Because it's on that cross? He screamed in agony,
16:45
Speaker 2: Heloy Sabatan, my God, why have you forsaken me? You
16:52
Speaker 2: don't think of the scream coming from the lips of
16:54
Speaker 2: Jesus unless you understand it was on a cross kind
16:58
Speaker 2: of death. He died, and the Savior was bearing your
17:02
Speaker 2: sins and my sins, the sins of the world, and
17:07
Speaker 2: the Father, for the first and only time in their
17:11
Speaker 2: existence together, turned his back, and Jesus felt, in that
17:18
Speaker 2: agonizing moment the abandonment that sin brought. That's when he
17:25
Speaker 2: bore all the sins of the world. When I survey
17:31
Speaker 2: the wondrous cross on which the Prince of Glory died,
17:36
Speaker 2: my richest gain I account the loss. I pour contempt
17:41
Speaker 2: on all my pride. Of course, who else has died
17:47
Speaker 2: for you? No one, who else paid the complete penalty
17:52
Speaker 2: for you, your sins, your wife, your husband's, your family,
17:56
Speaker 2: your children, your grandparents, and back and back and forward,
17:59
Speaker 2: and no one, no one even death on a cross.
18:07
Speaker 2: Charles Wesley put it, well, tis mystery all the immortal dies.
18:17
Speaker 2: Is it any wonder that when he left us as symbol,
18:20
Speaker 2: he left it a series of actions done without words.
18:26
Speaker 2: I've run out of words. I can't go any further,
18:32
Speaker 2: says it should be. When you're in the presence of
18:35
Speaker 2: that kind of humility, you are dumb struck. You sit
18:39
Speaker 2: and stare, and you should. He gave us a piece
18:44
Speaker 2: of bread to use. I received the Lord that which
18:47
Speaker 2: also he had given to me, writes Paul, the night
18:50
Speaker 2: in which he was betrayed, he took bread, and having
18:53
Speaker 2: given thanks, he broke it, and he said, here, take
18:58
Speaker 2: this and eat it in remembrance of me. In the
19:01
Speaker 2: same manner, also he took the cup and looked at
19:04
Speaker 2: the wine and the cup, and said, this liquid represents
19:08
Speaker 2: my blood. Drink it in remembrance of me. Fools that
19:12
Speaker 2: came in later days called Christian's cannibals drinking the blood
19:16
Speaker 2: of Jesus.
19:17
Speaker 1: Please, these are symbols.
19:21
Speaker 2: We don't worship the bread, we don't worship the cup.
19:24
Speaker 2: We don't worship the wooden cross. We worship the Savior.
19:30
Speaker 2: And because he has done this for us, two questions
19:33
Speaker 2: have to be answered when we come to the table.
19:36
Speaker 2: First are we cling? And second why not? It doesn't
19:41
Speaker 2: matter what church you're a part of. It doesn't matter
19:43
Speaker 2: what your age or gender is. It doesn't matter of
19:46
Speaker 2: your roots or the debauched life you may have lived,
19:51
Speaker 2: rather good life doesn't matter. We're all rotten, stinking sinners,
19:55
Speaker 2: that's all we are. We're no better than past summer,
19:58
Speaker 2: all hanging over the tor there in Augusta, Georgia, throwing
20:02
Speaker 2: out his guts. I have no feeling of shame whatsoever.
20:06
Speaker 2: I have feeling of gratitude that he would even have
20:09
Speaker 2: the courage to write it for every one of us
20:12
Speaker 2: addicted to something good, read or my hands? Is my
20:17
Speaker 2: heart clean? If I know Jesus, if I'm walking with him, yes,
20:22
Speaker 2: If I don't know him, no, This is for the
20:25
Speaker 2: Lord's people. I didn't set up the rules. So if
20:29
Speaker 2: you don't know Christ, then you choose not to receive him.
20:32
Speaker 2: Don't take the elements. Why would you? But if you
20:36
Speaker 2: know him and you're walking in the light, why would
20:39
Speaker 2: you let him pass? We embraced the bread, the cup.
20:45
Speaker 2: So the real issue is where are you today? In
20:48
Speaker 2: light of the cross. Let's bow our heads together. I'd
20:55
Speaker 2: like you to just sit quietly for a few moments,
20:58
Speaker 2: as some of you trust Christ, as you see others
21:00
Speaker 2: of you find cleansing. Thank you, Father for the cross.
21:06
Speaker 2: Thank you for the one who died for us there,
21:10
Speaker 2: for that sacred head now wounded with grief and shame,
21:17
Speaker 2: weighed down. Thank you for the bread, the body of
21:24
Speaker 2: our Savior given in humility for us.
21:29
Speaker 1: We love you, Father. Thank you for the table.
21:34
Speaker 2: Thank you for our Savior's blood that keeps on cleansing
21:38
Speaker 2: us from all sin, that divine detergent that washes us
21:45
Speaker 2: clean inside and out. We worship you, our Father, and
21:52
Speaker 2: we thank you for the plan that required the blood
21:58
Speaker 2: of the lamb our Father meeting with us in a
22:01
Speaker 2: very special way. During this time of silent meditation. Maybe
22:08
Speaker 2: be lost in the thought of the one who left
22:12
Speaker 2: heaven and died on a cross kind of place in
22:18
Speaker 2: his matchless name. We pray amen.
22:31
Speaker 1: The servant who came didn't arrive with fanfare or demand recognition.
22:35
Speaker 1: He emptied himself, took the form of a bond servant
22:38
Speaker 1: and died the vilest death imaginable, all to rescue broken
22:42
Speaker 1: people like you and me. That's not religion, that's grace.
22:47
Speaker 1: And if you've never surrendered your life to the one
22:50
Speaker 1: who paid it all, today is the day. This is
22:53
Speaker 1: Insight for Living. We'll hear a closing comment from Chuxwyndall
22:57
Speaker 1: in just a moment, so please stay with us. A
23:00
Speaker 1: quick reminder that Insight for Living has prepared a Bible
23:03
Speaker 1: study to help you understand more about the attributes of God.
23:07
Speaker 1: This spiral bound searching the scripture's workbook is called How
23:11
Speaker 1: Great Is Our God and contains all twelve studies from Chuck.
23:15
Speaker 1: To learn more, go to insight dot org slash offer.
23:20
Speaker 1: In a moment, I'll tell you about a brand new
23:22
Speaker 1: booklet Chuck's written about the power of the Cross. You see,
23:26
Speaker 1: the Cross not only represents our salvation in Christ, but
23:29
Speaker 1: when we focus on the Cross of Christ, it becomes
23:32
Speaker 1: our compass every single day. Chuck.
23:36
Speaker 2: You might not remember the name Roy Regals if not.
23:40
Speaker 2: Roy was a football player, and in the nineteen twenty
23:43
Speaker 2: nine Rose Bowl, he picked up a fumble and took off,
23:47
Speaker 2: running fast, confident, strutting toward the goal line, absolutely certain
23:54
Speaker 2: he knew where he was going. Guess what he was
23:57
Speaker 2: headed in the wrong direction, a seventy yard sprint, headed
24:02
Speaker 2: the wrong way. Oh man, can't you just picture it?
24:06
Speaker 2: His own teammate had to chase him down. And when
24:09
Speaker 2: that teammate finally caught up with him, Roy shouted, I
24:14
Speaker 2: love this, get away from me, this is my touchdown.
24:18
Speaker 2: He was convinced, but Roy was dead wrong. Well, I've
24:23
Speaker 2: spent a lifetime in ministry, and I can tell you
24:27
Speaker 2: that story never gets old because it never stops being true.
24:32
Speaker 2: Sincere people, well meaning people, people who love God and
24:36
Speaker 2: work hard and mean every word of their prayers running
24:40
Speaker 2: the wrong direction. Why because somewhere along the way they
24:44
Speaker 2: lost sight of the Cross. The Cross reorients everything. When
24:49
Speaker 2: it's in clear focus, you know which goal line is which,
24:53
Speaker 2: you know what matters and what doesn't. You know how
24:56
Speaker 2: to live. That's what Insight for Living is all about.
25:00
Speaker 2: Every broadcast, every resource, every message we send into the
25:05
Speaker 2: world has one purpose to point people back to the Cross.
25:11
Speaker 2: Not to me, not to this program, but to the Cross.
25:15
Speaker 2: And here's something I want you to understand. As we
25:18
Speaker 2: approach June thirtieth, the end of our fiscal year. Every
25:23
Speaker 2: gift that comes in doesn't just keep Insight for Living
25:27
Speaker 2: on the air. It sends you into the world as
25:30
Speaker 2: a minister of this message, through radio, through the Internet,
25:35
Speaker 2: through social media and printed materials, reaching people on every continent.
25:41
Speaker 1: You cast that.
25:42
Speaker 2: Seed, we just get to watch God grow it. Please
25:46
Speaker 2: give today generously. The world needs the right direction.
