I Will Remember Their Sins No More · Stornoway Free Church of Scotland - Sermons

We can turn back to our reading in Jeremiah chapter 31.
0:05
Read the words at verse 34.
0:14
And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, Know the Lord,
0:19
! For they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the Lord.
0:25
For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin.
0:30
No more.
0:33
These words in verse 34 are in light of what comes before it.
0:37
They are verse 31 down to that point where the Lord speaks there of days that are coming,
0:44
and I will make a new covenant.
0:47
God is going to make a new covenant with his people and part of this covenant where he speaks here
0:52
is that their sins will be remembered no more.
0:56
But how do we get to that point?
0:58
How do we reach that point where God is saying these words, and how do they become meaningful for us today,
1:05
and especially as we look ahead to preparing ourselves for Sunday for the Lord's table,
1:11
as we will come to remember the Lord's death.
1:14
On Sunday morning, we were looking at the beginning of this passage, the end of chapter 30 into chapter 31.
1:23
And there we were seeing how God shows his grace to his people.
1:28
We saw it in a number of different ways.
1:30
We saw at the end of chapter 30 how God was speaking about a storm that was coming,
1:37
and it was a gracious warning.
1:40
A storm is coming, and they would be taken into the wilderness.
1:44
But then we saw, as you go into chapter 31, how there is a renewal, a renewing that's going to come.
1:52
But before that comes, he speaks to them about how he'll be with them in the wilderness.
1:57
In verse 2 of chapter 31, he gave a gracious reminder to them of those who would seek him.
2:03
Those who sought him would find grace in the wilderness.
2:07
So that even as they were away from the Lord, that there was grace for them.
2:12
And then as we went on from there, we saw how God reminds them of a gracious renewal,
2:17
that he is going to take his people back, going to return them from exile.
2:22
And part of it was that homes that they had lost would be rebuilt.
2:26
Harvests that they had lost would come again.
2:31
And the sorrow that they had would be turned into joy.
2:35
All of these things were said once again.
2:38
They were going to come again.
2:39
But perhaps the greatest renewal would be the right worship of God,
2:44
as we saw in verse 6 of chapter 31, where it says,
2:50
For there shall be a day when watchmen will call in the hill country of Ephraim,
2:54
Arise, and let us go to Zion, to the Lord our God.
2:59
To the Lord our God.
3:01
There is this relationship that is restored, and especially when it comes to worshipping God as he deserves.
3:09
Tonight, I want to continue in this chapter.
3:12
I want to continue looking at the words that we have before us and see how this renewal comes,
3:18
and just what it means for the people, how they come to know it,
3:23
and the blessings that it gives.
3:26
God is speaking here through Jeremiah.
3:29
Jeremiah.
3:30
He's speaking through his prophet.
3:33
And as we saw on Sunday, Jeremiah's ministry was a long ministry, 50 years,
3:38
and yet no one was listening.
3:41
No one was listening.
3:44
They weren't listening.
3:46
But a day would come when they would hear God speaking,
3:50
when they would see their need of him.
3:53
And when God speaks through his word, we know it today.
3:59
He speaks to us through it.
4:02
But we also know a day is coming when we will speak with God face to face.
4:08
And God's word is preparing us for that.
4:13
To ask us, are we ready to meet with the Lord?
4:16
What if that was tonight?
4:20
We're preparing ourselves for the Lord's day, for a communion weekend,
4:25
but there's no certainty that the Lord would not come tonight.
4:30
And what would you say?
4:32
How would you justify yourself before God?
4:37
Are you ready for it?
4:39
Well, it's by looking at God's word that we see where our confidence can be.
4:46
And it's not in ourselves.
4:48
And I want us to look at four verses through this chapter this evening.
4:53
We're going to come back to this chapter again another time.
4:55
But this evening, I want us to look at four verses.
4:59
And I want us to see there are questions in these verses.
5:04
And there are questions there for ourselves to ask.
5:07
And that perhaps we do ask, perhaps we are asking.
5:12
Where can we truly find rest?
5:15
We're going to look at verse 11 and ask the question, who can save us?
5:20
We're going to look at verse 21 and ask, where can I go?
5:25
We're going to look at verse 29 and ask, what can I say?
5:30
And then we're going to look at verse 34 and ask, what will I know?
5:34
So the first thing we're going to look at is verse 11 and ask that question, who can save us?
5:44
Read these words again in verse 11.
5:47
For the Lord has ransomed Jacob and has redeemed him from hands too strong for him.
5:54
Jacob is not an individual here.
5:58
It's a people.
5:59
The people who God is taking captive.
6:04
The people who have sinned against God.
6:08
Who have turned away from God.
6:10
Their sin is going to have consequences.
6:13
Where they're going to be taken captive by a foreign nation.
6:17
A powerful invading nation.
6:20
And in their captivity, the big question would be, who can save us?
6:29
Who can save us?
6:31
Because as you go on in the Old Testament, as you see God bringing that judgment down upon them,
6:39
taking them into captivity, you see just how powerful, how wicked these nations that took God's people captive were.
6:47
They were a powerful nation, not just locally in a context, but far and wide.
6:56
And so as God's people are taken captive, there would seem to be no way out for them.
7:03
And so that question would often be on their lips.
7:07
Who can save us?
7:09
How are we going to escape?
7:12
They would have despair.
7:13
They would feel helpless.
7:14
And it's that same age-old question that we see throughout Scripture and even to this very day.
7:23
In different situations.
7:26
Who can save us?
7:30
In Psalm 4, we sung it on Sunday morning.
7:33
There is a question there in verse 6.
7:35
There are many who say, who will show us some good?
7:40
Who will show us some good?
7:42
And the psalmist goes on to say, lift up the light of your face upon us, O Lord.
7:48
There's a question, but there's an answer in that psalm as well.
7:52
As you go into the New Testament, you see the same question.
7:56
Who can save us?
7:57
This is asked on a number of different occasions.
8:00
Two examples.
8:02
The rich young ruler who came to Jesus in Mark 10, verse 17, and said,
8:06
Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?
8:13
Who will save us?
8:14
How can we be saved?
8:16
The Philippian jailer in Acts 16, verse 30, he brought them out and said,
8:22
Sir, what must I do to be saved?
8:27
It's a recurring question.
8:30
It's a question in every generation.
8:33
Has it been your question?
8:36
Is it your question even tonight?
8:42
Because it's a question I'm sure we've all had.
8:45
And maybe we still have.
8:48
Because as we read in these scriptures, those kinds of questions,
8:51
the rich young ruler, the Philippian jailer,
8:55
there's a sense of what can I do?
8:57
And that's what have been the thoughts of the people here in Jeremiah's day as well.
9:02
Taken captive, taken into captivity.
9:05
What can we do?
9:07
How can we be saved?
9:11
And as we look here, we see that our attention is taken away from self and onto another.
9:18
And that's often the case as well as you read through these scriptures.
9:23
Psalm 4 has that answer,
9:25
Lord, shine upon us with your light.
9:27
The rich young ruler is told quite plainly by Jesus,
9:31
go and sell all that you have and come and follow me.
9:35
The Philippian jailer, believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved.
9:39
The attention is taken away from self onto the Lord.
9:44
That's where verse 11 takes us here as well.
9:48
For the Lord has ransomed Jacob and has redeemed him from hands too strong for him.
9:57
Who can save us?
9:59
Only the Lord.
10:03
Their enemy was a nation.
10:05
Who's your enemy and who's my enemy tonight?
10:09
Because we have an enemy.
10:11
The enemy is sin.
10:14
And the enemy is the devil.
10:17
And when we know the power of sin,
10:19
when we know the temptation of the devil,
10:22
we're so often left in that point where we ask,
10:25
who can save us?
10:27
Who can save us when sin leaves us in despair?
10:33
Well, this question in verse 11,
10:36
who can save us?
10:37
The answer is there for us.
10:39
Only the Lord.
10:41
Only the Lord can save us from the hands that are too strong for us.
10:48
The power of sin.
10:51
And God is powerful.
10:54
And what you see in these words in verse 11,
10:56
there's two words there,
10:58
ransomed and redeemed.
11:01
They're important words for us.
11:03
Who can save us?
11:04
Who can save us?
11:06
As we sung in Psalm 49,
11:10
who can redeem a life?
11:14
Who can pay that sufficient price?
11:16
None of us.
11:17
But God is here saying,
11:20
the Lord has ransomed.
11:22
The Lord has redeemed.
11:25
The Lord has paid the price.
11:28
That is what we come to remember this week.
11:33
We cannot save ourselves.
11:36
We are coming in dependence upon the only one
11:40
who can save us.
11:41
As a shorter catechson puts it,
11:43
who is the redeemer of God's elect?
11:47
The only redeemer of God's elect
11:49
is the Lord Jesus Christ.
11:52
Because there is no other.
11:54
Who can save us?
11:56
Who can save you?
11:58
The Lord Jesus Christ.
12:00
We cannot pay a price.
12:03
We cannot do anything from ourselves.
12:06
Release from captivity.
12:08
For these people then was dependent on the Lord.
12:11
Release from our captivity and sin
12:14
is dependent on the Lord's intervention too.
12:18
He is the one who intervenes.
12:21
He is the one who pays the price.
12:24
That is who we come to remember.
12:30
Secondly then we see in verse 21,
12:32
we ask the question,
12:34
where can I go?
12:37
Verse 21 says,
12:39
set up road markers for yourself.
12:40
Make yourself guideposts.
12:43
Consider well the highway,
12:44
the road by which you went.
12:46
Return, O virginus,
12:48
return to these your cities.
12:55
Where can I go?
12:58
Life is full of choices.
13:01
And one of the main choices
13:02
you see as you read through Jeremiah
13:05
that's often put to the people,
13:06
the main choice you see is
13:08
which way are you going to go?
13:12
Are you going to go your own way?
13:15
Or are you going to go the Lord's way?
13:19
When you go back to the early chapters
13:21
into chapter 6 of Jeremiah
13:23
and verse 16,
13:25
there you see a decision made by the people.
13:29
The Lord speaks in verse 16 of chapter 6
13:32
and he says,
13:32
stand by the roads
13:34
and look
13:35
and ask for the ancient paths
13:37
where the good way is
13:39
and walk in it
13:41
and find rest for your souls.
13:46
But then you have the response of the people.
13:49
But they said,
13:50
we will not walk in it.
13:53
The choice was put before them there.
13:56
Stand and look and ask,
13:58
which way are you going?
13:59
Where are you going?
14:01
And God shows them,
14:02
this is the way that you should go.
14:04
And there you will find rest for your souls.
14:07
And they say,
14:07
no,
14:08
we will not walk in it.
14:12
But where does that lead them?
14:14
Where does it take them?
14:15
To the very situation we're seeing
14:17
as you go through Jeremiah,
14:19
it's this idea
14:20
where God is going to intervene
14:22
and take them into captivity.
14:24
He is going to take them into the wilderness,
14:26
into a far off foreign land.
14:30
Choices have consequences.
14:34
And that's made very clear for us
14:36
throughout Jeremiah,
14:37
throughout the word of God.
14:40
Where does sin lead us?
14:44
As we saw earlier on Sunday morning,
14:47
as we're looking at the early part,
14:48
it leads us into the wilderness
14:50
at arm's length from God.
14:52
It leaves us lost,
14:55
not knowing where to turn.
14:59
So where can we go?
15:01
Here is a people who are lost.
15:04
And when we are in sin in the wilderness,
15:07
we too are lost.
15:08
And we can ask,
15:09
where can I go?
15:12
Well,
15:12
verse 21 reminds us where we can go.
15:15
It says,
15:16
set up road markers for yourself.
15:19
Make yourself guideposts.
15:22
What is he saying here?
15:25
Guideposts,
15:26
markers,
15:27
would have been
15:28
probably stone cairns
15:30
that people would have set up
15:31
as they were journeying around.
15:34
So if they were going far
15:35
from one city maybe to another,
15:37
or going out into the wilderness
15:39
to find their way back,
15:40
they would set up
15:41
these stone cairns
15:43
so that they would know
15:44
what direction to go in.
15:48
And that's what God
15:49
is reminding them here.
15:52
He is reminding them that
15:53
as they are taken into captivity,
15:57
to remember
15:58
where they have come from.
16:01
Make for yourselves,
16:03
guideposts,
16:03
consider well the highway,
16:05
the road by which you went.
16:07
And then it says,
16:08
return,
16:09
O virgin Israel,
16:10
return to these,
16:12
your city.
16:12
So there's a going out
16:13
and there's a coming back.
16:17
And that's
16:17
our situation too.
16:20
When sin
16:21
takes us
16:22
into the wilderness,
16:24
where can we go?
16:26
We can return
16:27
to God.
16:30
Throughout this chapter
16:31
there's so much imagery
16:32
you would just associate
16:33
with the prodigal son.
16:36
He went into
16:37
a far off land,
16:38
he went into the wilderness,
16:39
he squandered
16:40
his wealth.
16:42
But what happens
16:43
when it says
16:44
he came to his senses?
16:46
He remembered
16:47
his father's house.
16:49
He remembered
16:50
where he had come from.
16:53
And he started
16:54
that journey
16:55
back.
16:57
And that is
16:58
the situation
16:59
for every sinner.
17:00
that as we go
17:02
away from God
17:03
into the wilderness
17:04
to find our way
17:06
back,
17:07
we look for the signposts,
17:08
the markers,
17:10
the things that are
17:10
put before us
17:11
to remember
17:12
where we have
17:13
come from
17:14
and to return
17:15
to God.
17:17
It's a bit like
17:18
if you go on a
17:19
coastal walk now
17:20
or if you go
17:21
the West Highland Way.
17:23
As you're walking
17:24
along,
17:25
you'll find
17:25
posts or cairns
17:27
or things,
17:28
markers put there
17:29
to show you
17:30
that you're on
17:30
the right track,
17:31
that you're going
17:32
the right way.
17:33
It might even
17:33
give you an indication
17:34
of how far
17:35
to the next one
17:36
and point you
17:37
in the right direction.
17:40
People have gone
17:41
that way before.
17:44
And as you look
17:45
at this chapter,
17:46
as you look at
17:47
verse 21,
17:48
there's certainly
17:49
a reminder there
17:50
for us that the people
17:51
were going to go
17:51
on a journey.
17:52
They were not going
17:53
to be alone
17:54
and that they
17:55
would return.
17:57
But that's the story
17:58
of salvation.
18:00
A people who drift
18:01
away from God
18:02
but who can find
18:04
a way back.
18:06
Through God's
18:06
ministering His Word,
18:08
through God's grace,
18:09
by His Spirit,
18:11
He works.
18:12
The prodigal son
18:14
reminds us of that.
18:16
There is a father
18:17
who longs
18:18
for us to return.
18:21
Where can we go?
18:22
We can go
18:24
to the only one
18:25
who gives that welcome,
18:27
who gives that warmth
18:29
of us coming back.
18:31
How often does sin
18:32
leave you asking,
18:34
where can I go?
18:37
Where can I go
18:38
with this?
18:40
How can I find help?
18:43
Come,
18:44
the Word of God says.
18:46
Return.
18:47
Return, O virginus.
18:48
Return to these,
18:50
your cities.
18:50
The prodigal son
18:52
is returned
18:52
to my father's house.
18:54
To us,
18:55
it is to return
18:56
to God.
18:58
There is
18:59
a way.
19:01
There is
19:01
a place
19:02
to go.
19:03
To go
19:04
to the Father.
19:07
Third thing
19:08
we see here
19:09
is verse
19:09
29.
19:12
What can I say?
19:15
Verse 29,
19:17
In those days
19:18
they shall no longer
19:19
say,
19:20
the fathers
19:20
have eaten
19:21
sour grapes
19:22
and the children's
19:23
teeth
19:23
are set
19:25
on edge.
19:27
It's one of these
19:28
sayings that you find
19:29
in Ezekiel.
19:31
Ezekiel speaks
19:32
a bit more
19:33
about this
19:33
in chapter 18.
19:34
The fathers
19:35
have eaten
19:35
sour grapes
19:36
and the children's
19:37
teeth
19:37
are set
19:38
on edge.
19:39
You can read
19:39
that later
19:40
for yourselves.
19:42
But behind it
19:43
all is a sense
19:44
of blame.
19:47
Sense
19:48
of blame.
19:49
Because when you
19:50
read it in
19:50
Ezekiel,
19:52
you see that
19:52
they are passing
19:53
the buck.
19:55
They are saying
19:55
it's not us
19:56
who sinned.
19:57
It's our fathers.
19:58
It's our forefathers.
20:00
It's their fault.
20:02
They are looking
20:03
for someone
20:04
to blame.
20:06
And that is
20:06
something that is
20:07
in our nature
20:08
because of sin.
20:10
We are looking
20:11
to pass the buck.
20:12
It goes right
20:13
back to Genesis
20:15
chapter 3
20:16
verse 12
20:16
where the man
20:18
said,
20:18
the woman
20:19
whom you gave
20:20
to be with me
20:21
she gave me
20:22
fruit of the three
20:22
and I ate.
20:24
Whose fault?
20:25
It's somebody
20:26
else's.
20:27
It's the woman
20:28
you gave me.
20:29
It's almost like
20:30
blaming God
20:31
there as well.
20:33
So there's a sense
20:33
of who can we
20:35
blame?
20:37
Are you like that
20:38
when it comes
20:38
to sin?
20:40
It's somebody
20:41
else's fault.
20:42
They made me
20:43
angry.
20:44
They made me
20:45
do it.
20:45
They made me
20:46
sin.
20:47
It's always
20:47
someone else's
20:49
fault.
20:51
Last Saturday
20:52
down near
20:54
Middlesbrough
20:55
there was a
20:55
tragic incident.
20:58
A tragic
20:59
loss of life
21:00
where seven
21:01
people died
21:01
in a car
21:02
crash.
21:03
Because one
21:04
car was being
21:05
driven the
21:06
wrong way up
21:07
a lane in
21:08
the motorway.
21:10
Five were
21:11
killed in one
21:11
car and two
21:12
policemen in
21:13
another.
21:15
Since the
21:16
crash it's
21:16
been in the
21:17
news that
21:17
one of the
21:18
family,
21:19
they were
21:20
blaming the
21:21
police for
21:22
it.
21:23
It's their
21:24
fault.
21:26
Trying to
21:27
pass the
21:28
blame.
21:29
Taking no
21:30
responsibility
21:31
that their
21:32
son or
21:33
family member
21:34
was driving
21:35
the wrong
21:35
way up a
21:36
dual carriageway.
21:37
it's just
21:39
inner nature.
21:41
Even when we
21:42
are doing
21:43
wrong and
21:44
we know it,
21:44
it's somebody
21:45
else's fault.
21:48
That's the
21:48
kind of world
21:49
in which we
21:50
live in.
21:50
That's the
21:51
kind of nature
21:52
that we
21:53
have.
21:54
But when you
21:55
look at this
21:55
verse,
21:56
verse 29,
21:58
you see how
21:59
it quotes
22:01
those words,
22:02
the fathers
22:02
have eaten
22:03
sour grapes
22:03
and the
22:04
children's
22:04
teeth are
22:05
set on
22:05
edge.
22:05
But what
22:06
it says at
22:07
the beginning
22:07
is key.
22:09
In those
22:09
days they
22:10
shall no
22:10
longer say.
22:13
They shall
22:14
no longer
22:15
say.
22:16
They are
22:17
accepting
22:17
responsibility.
22:21
Instead,
22:22
it says in
22:23
verse 30,
22:23
but everyone
22:24
shall die
22:25
for his
22:25
own sin.
22:27
Each man
22:27
who eats
22:28
sour grapes,
22:29
his teeth
22:29
shall be
22:30
set on
22:31
edge.
22:31
It's no
22:31
longer
22:32
passing
22:33
the back.
22:34
It's no
22:34
longer saying
22:35
it's my
22:36
father's
22:36
fault or
22:37
my
22:37
forefather's
22:38
fault.
22:39
It's no
22:39
longer
22:40
society's
22:41
fault or
22:41
my
22:41
upbringing's
22:42
fault.
22:43
I am
22:44
taking
22:44
responsibility.
22:48
What
22:48
shall we
22:49
say?
22:51
Well,
22:52
we have
22:52
to come
22:53
before
22:54
God.
22:55
Because
22:56
when we
22:56
see God
22:57
and when
22:57
we look
22:58
to God
22:58
and we
22:59
see our
22:59
sin,
23:00
it gives
23:01
us a
23:01
new
23:02
outlook.
23:02
And that's
23:03
what we
23:03
see the
23:03
change
23:04
that is
23:04
going to
23:05
come with
23:05
the people
23:06
here.
23:06
They
23:06
shall no
23:07
longer
23:07
say.
23:08
They
23:08
shall no
23:09
longer
23:09
blame.
23:11
Instead,
23:11
there's a
23:11
sense of
23:12
individual
23:13
accountability
23:14
and also
23:15
corporate
23:15
accountability
23:16
here.
23:18
Where
23:18
individuals
23:19
will confess
23:19
their sins.
23:21
Where the
23:21
community,
23:22
the corporate
23:22
nature of it,
23:23
they will
23:23
confess their
23:24
sins together.
23:25
You think
23:26
of the
23:26
words of
23:27
Psalm 51
23:28
which we
23:28
sung.
23:29
against
23:30
thee,
23:30
thee
23:30
only
23:31
have I
23:31
sinned.
23:33
In
23:33
thy
23:33
sight
23:34
done
23:34
this
23:35
ill.
23:35
There's
23:35
an
23:36
acknowledgement
23:36
I'm
23:37
not going
23:37
to blame
23:38
anybody
23:39
anymore.
23:40
It is
23:40
me.
23:41
Against
23:42
thee,
23:42
thee
23:42
only
23:43
have I
23:43
sinned.
23:45
The
23:45
same
23:45
in the
23:46
Gospels
23:47
as you
23:47
look through
23:48
them.
23:49
In
23:49
Luke
23:49
18
23:50
verse
23:50
13
23:51
those
23:52
tax
23:53
collectors
23:54
standing
23:55
afar
23:55
off
23:55
praying.
23:56
And
23:56
what's
23:56
he saying?
23:58
He's
23:58
saying,
23:58
God
23:59
be
23:59
merciful
24:00
to
24:01
me,
24:01
a
24:01
sinner.
24:03
Whereas
24:03
the
24:03
other
24:03
one
24:04
who's
24:04
standing
24:04
beside
24:05
him
24:05
and
24:05
saying,
24:06
I
24:06
am
24:06
glad
24:06
I
24:07
am
24:07
not
24:07
like
24:07
that
24:08
man.
24:08
I
24:08
tithe,
24:09
I
24:09
do
24:09
this,
24:10
I
24:10
do
24:10
that.
24:12
But
24:12
no,
24:13
the
24:13
tax
24:14
collector
24:14
has
24:14
the
24:14
right
24:15
attitude.
24:15
God
24:16
be
24:16
merciful
24:17
to
24:17
me,
24:18
a
24:18
sinner.
24:19
What
24:19
can
24:19
we
24:20
say?
24:21
What
24:21
can
24:21
you
24:21
say?
24:22
God
24:23
be
24:23
merciful
24:23
to
24:24
me,
24:24
a
24:25
sinner.
24:25
again,
24:27
the
24:28
prodigal
24:28
son.
24:30
As
24:31
the son
24:31
comes to
24:32
the father
24:32
in verse
24:33
21,
24:34
Father,
24:34
I have
24:34
sinned
24:35
against
24:35
heaven
24:36
and
24:36
before
24:37
you.
24:37
What
24:38
can
24:38
we
24:38
say?
24:39
We
24:40
have
24:40
sinned
24:41
against
24:42
you.
24:43
What
24:44
can
24:44
we
24:44
say
24:45
as
24:45
we
24:45
come
24:46
to
24:46
a
24:46
communion?
24:48
I
24:48
have
24:49
sinned
24:49
against
24:50
you.
24:51
We
24:52
have
24:52
sinned
24:52
against
24:53
you.
24:54
We
24:55
are
24:55
not
24:55
worthy
24:56
to
24:56
be
24:56
called
24:57
your
24:57
son.
24:57
We
24:57
are
24:58
not
24:58
worthy
24:58
to
24:59
be
24:59
called
24:59
your
25:00
daughter.
25:02
What
25:02
can
25:03
we
25:03
say?
25:04
We
25:04
can
25:04
confess
25:05
our
25:06
sin.
25:08
We
25:08
can
25:08
acknowledge
25:09
our
25:09
sin
25:10
before
25:10
God.
25:11
If
25:11
you
25:11
were
25:12
at
25:12
the
25:12
induction
25:12
in
25:13
Graver
25:13
last
25:13
evening,
25:14
and I
25:15
know
25:15
many
25:15
of
25:15
you
25:15
were,
25:16
one
25:17
of
25:17
the
25:17
main
25:17
comments,
25:19
and I
25:19
spoken
25:19
to a
25:19
few
25:20
last
25:20
night
25:20
and
25:21
today,
25:22
was
25:22
how
25:22
powerful
25:23
the
25:23
singing
25:24
was.
25:25
There
25:26
was
25:26
just a
25:26
sense
25:27
of,
25:29
how do
25:29
you
25:29
describe it?
25:30
A sense
25:30
of awe
25:31
in that
25:32
worship.
25:33
A
25:34
corporate
25:34
worship
25:35
where the
25:37
power of
25:38
God's
25:38
presence and
25:39
the praising
25:39
of his
25:40
name was
25:41
powerful.
25:41
God's
25:43
And
25:43
there
25:44
is
25:44
blessing.
25:45
And
25:45
at the
25:46
reception
25:46
last
25:47
night,
25:47
at the
25:48
end,
25:48
we
25:48
sang
25:49
Psalm
25:50
133.
25:52
And
25:52
again,
25:53
it
25:53
asks that
25:54
question,
25:54
where
25:55
is
25:55
blessing
25:56
found?
25:58
It's
25:58
together
25:58
such as
25:59
brethren
25:59
are in
26:00
unity
26:00
to
26:01
dwell.
26:03
And
26:03
there
26:03
is that
26:03
question
26:04
then,
26:05
what
26:05
can
26:06
we
26:06
say?
26:07
We
26:08
acknowledge
26:08
our
26:09
sins
26:10
individually.
26:11
We
26:11
acknowledge
26:12
our
26:13
corporate
26:13
sins.
26:15
And
26:15
we
26:15
seek
26:16
that
26:16
blessing
26:17
as we
26:18
confess
26:18
our
26:19
sin,
26:19
to seek
26:20
that
26:20
unity
26:20
and
26:21
that
26:22
blessing
26:22
from
26:23
God.
26:25
We
26:25
confess.
26:27
We
26:27
repent.
26:28
That
26:28
is what
26:29
the people
26:29
are looking
26:30
for here.
26:31
That's
26:31
what God
26:31
is looking
26:32
for from
26:33
the people
26:33
here,
26:34
that they
26:34
would
26:34
return
26:35
to
26:35
him.
26:36
That
26:37
they
26:37
would
26:37
confess
26:38
their
26:38
sins.
26:39
The
26:39
shorter
26:39
catechism
26:40
again
26:40
says about
26:41
repentance
26:42
unto
26:42
life.
26:44
It
26:44
is a
26:44
saving
26:44
grace
26:45
whereby
26:46
a sinner
26:46
out of
26:47
a true
26:47
sense
26:48
of
26:48
his
26:48
sin
26:49
and
26:49
apprehension
26:50
of the
26:50
mercy
26:51
of
26:51
God
26:51
in
26:51
Christ
26:52
doth
26:52
with
26:53
grief
26:53
and
26:54
hatred
26:55
of
26:55
his
26:55
sin
26:56
turn
26:56
from
26:57
it
26:57
unto
26:58
God
26:58
with
26:59
full
26:59
purpose
27:00
of
27:00
an
27:01
endeavour
27:01
after
27:02
new
27:03
obedience.
27:03
The
27:04
very
27:04
thing
27:04
that
27:04
we
27:05
are
27:05
seeing
27:05
in
27:06
these
27:06
words.
27:06
No
27:07
longer
27:07
will
27:08
we
27:08
say
27:08
it's
27:09
somebody
27:09
else's
27:10
fault
27:10
but we
27:12
will
27:12
repent.
27:13
We
27:13
will
27:13
turn
27:14
from
27:14
our
27:14
sin.
27:14
We
27:15
will
27:15
turn
27:15
to
27:16
God
27:16
and
27:16
endeavour
27:17
after
27:17
new
27:18
obedience.
27:19
confess
27:20
we
27:21
confess
27:22
our
27:23
sins.
27:23
What
27:23
shall
27:24
we
27:24
say?
27:25
Father
27:26
I
27:27
have
27:27
sinned
27:28
against
27:28
you.
27:30
Confess
27:30
our
27:31
sin.
27:33
The
27:33
fourth
27:34
thing
27:34
and
27:34
final
27:34
thing
27:35
we
27:35
see
27:35
here
27:35
is
27:35
what
27:36
will
27:37
I
27:37
know?
27:40
Who
27:41
can
27:41
save
27:41
we've
27:42
asked
27:42
the
27:43
Lord?
27:44
Where
27:44
can we
27:45
go
27:45
to the
27:46
Father?
27:46
What
27:47
can we
27:48
say?
27:49
I
27:49
have
27:49
sinned
27:50
against
27:50
you.
27:52
Well
27:52
where
27:52
does
27:52
that
27:53
take
27:53
us?
27:54
Into
27:54
verse
27:54
31
27:55
to
27:55
34.
27:57
Again
27:58
we're
27:58
just
27:58
going to
27:58
look at
27:58
it very
27:59
briefly
27:59
this
27:59
evening
28:00
but
28:00
we'll
28:00
come
28:00
back
28:01
to
28:01
it
28:01
again.
28:02
Verse
28:03
31
28:03
says
28:03
Behold
28:04
the
28:04
days
28:04
are
28:05
coming
28:05
declares
28:05
the
28:06
Lord
28:06
when
28:07
I
28:07
will
28:07
make
28:07
a
28:07
new
28:07
covenant
28:08
with
28:09
the
28:09
house
28:09
of
28:09
Israel
28:10
and
28:10
with
28:10
the
28:10
house
28:10
of
28:11
Judah.
28:13
And
28:13
he
28:13
speaks
28:13
!
28:13
then
28:16
into
28:17
their
28:17
heart.
28:18
Where
28:19
he
28:19
will
28:19
put
28:19
the
28:20
law
28:20
into
28:21
their
28:22
heart.
28:22
He
28:22
will
28:22
write
28:23
it
28:23
on
28:23
their
28:23
hearts
28:24
it
28:24
says
28:24
at
28:24
the
28:24
end
28:25
of
28:25
verse
28:25
33.
28:26
And
28:26
then
28:26
in
28:27
verse
28:27
34
28:27
No
28:28
longer
28:29
shall
28:29
each
28:29
one
28:29
teach
28:30
his
28:30
neighbor
28:30
and
28:31
each
28:31
his
28:31
brother
28:31
saying
28:32
know
28:32
the
28:32
Lord
28:33
for
28:33
they
28:33
shall
28:33
all
28:34
know
28:34
me
28:34
from
28:35
the
28:35
least
28:35
of
28:36
them
28:36
to
28:36
the
28:36
greatest
28:36
declares
28:37
the
28:37
Lord
28:37
for
28:38
I
28:38
will
28:38
forgive
28:39
!
28:46
where
28:48
does
28:48
this
28:48
take
28:49
us?
28:51
It
28:52
takes
28:52
us
28:52
to
28:53
the
28:53
place
28:53
we
28:53
will
28:53
remember
28:54
this
28:54
Sunday
28:55
to
28:56
Calvary
28:56
to
28:57
the
28:57
place
28:58
of
28:59
the
28:59
cross.
29:00
The
29:00
people
29:01
here
29:01
were
29:01
struggling
29:02
to
29:03
find
29:03
a
29:03
way
29:03
to
29:04
forgiveness.
29:06
And
29:06
for
29:06
many
29:07
it
29:07
would
29:07
have
29:07
been
29:07
a
29:07
sense
29:08
of
29:08
the
29:08
law
29:09
trying
29:10
to
29:10
keep
29:11
the
29:11
law
29:11
perfectly.
29:13
But
29:14
this
29:15
new
29:15
covenant
29:16
that
29:16
he's
29:16
given
29:17
to
29:17
them
29:17
is
29:19
going
29:19
to
29:19
be
29:19
written
29:20
in
29:20
their
29:20
hearts
29:21
where
29:22
there
29:22
will
29:22
be
29:22
a
29:23
new
29:23
sense
29:23
of
29:24
obedience.
29:25
Not
29:26
able
29:26
to
29:26
keep
29:26
the
29:27
law
29:27
perfectly
29:28
because
29:28
none
29:28
are.
29:30
And
29:30
in
29:31
order
29:31
to
29:31
forgive
29:32
their
29:33
sins
29:33
as you
29:33
go
29:33
through
29:34
the
29:34
Old
29:34
Testament
29:35
they
29:35
were
29:36
having
29:36
to
29:36
offer
29:36
their
29:37
sacrifices
29:38
daily
29:39
weekly
29:40
and
29:40
then
29:40
annually
29:41
where
29:42
they
29:42
had
29:42
the
29:43
Passover
29:43
meal
29:44
offering
29:46
up
29:46
that
29:46
scapegoat
29:47
it
29:48
was a
29:48
continual
29:49
way
29:50
of
29:50
sacrifice
29:51
in
29:52
order
29:52
for
29:53
their
29:53
sins
29:53
to
29:53
be
29:53
forgiven
29:54
this
29:55
was
29:55
ongoing
29:56
but
29:57
where
29:57
is it
29:58
taking
29:58
us
29:59
it
30:00
is
30:00
taking
30:00
us
30:01
to
30:01
the
30:01
cross
30:02
and
30:03
where
30:04
it
30:04
declares
30:04
I
30:05
will
30:05
forgive
30:05
their
30:06
iniquity
30:06
and
30:07
I
30:07
will
30:07
remember
30:08
their
30:08
sin
30:08
no
30:09
more
30:09
it
30:10
is
30:10
dealt
30:10
with
30:11
so
30:12
they
30:13
were
30:13
struggling
30:13
to
30:13
find
30:14
a
30:14
way
30:14
and
30:15
so
30:15
do
30:16
we
30:16
perhaps
30:17
you
30:17
are
30:17
struggling
30:18
with
30:18
your
30:19
sin
30:19
tonight
30:20
can
30:21
he
30:21
really
30:21
forgive
30:22
my
30:22
sin
30:23
well
30:25
here
30:25
we are
30:25
reminded
30:26
that
30:26
he
30:26
can
30:27
when
30:28
he
30:28
writes
30:29
his
30:29
law
30:29
on
30:29
our
30:30
heart
30:30
he
30:30
says
30:31
I
30:31
will
30:31
remember
30:31
your
30:32
sin
30:33
no
30:33
more
30:34
you
30:35
are
30:35
forgiven
30:35
your
30:38
debt
30:38
is
30:38
paid
30:39
the
30:40
lord
30:40
has
30:41
saved
30:42
you
30:42
in
30:43
verse
30:43
31
30:44
it
30:44
speaks
30:44
of
30:44
a
30:44
new
30:45
covenant
30:45
and
30:46
it
30:46
links
30:47
us
30:47
into
30:47
the
30:48
new
30:48
testament
30:48
to
30:48
what
30:49
Jesus
30:49
has
30:49
done
30:50
for us
30:51
when you
30:51
look at
30:51
Luke
30:51
22
30:52
verse
30:52
20
30:53
and
30:54
likewise
30:54
the cup
30:55
after they
30:55
had eaten
30:56
saying
30:56
this cup
30:57
that is
30:57
poured
30:58
out
30:58
for you
30:58
is a
30:59
new
30:59
covenant
31:00
in
31:00
my
31:00
blood
31:01
there is
31:03
where we
31:03
find
31:04
forgiveness
31:04
through
31:05
faith
31:05
in
31:06
the
31:06
lord
31:06
jesus
31:07
christ
31:07
then
31:07
you
31:08
have
31:08
hebrews
31:08
8
31:09
where
31:09
it
31:10
speaks
31:10
of
31:10
jesus
31:11
as
31:11
our
31:11
great
31:12
high
31:12
priest
31:13
bearing
31:14
our
31:15
sin
31:15
quoting
31:16
these
31:17
very
31:17
words
31:18
from
31:18
jeremiah
31:19
31
31:20
again
31:21
we'll
31:21
come
31:21
back
31:21
to
31:22
look
31:22
at
31:22
it
31:22
in
31:22
more
31:22
detail
31:23
but
31:24
they
31:24
are
31:24
wonderful
31:25
words
31:26
what
31:27
will
31:27
you
31:27
know
31:28
as
31:29
you
31:29
come
31:29
to
31:29
him
31:30
I
31:31
will
31:31
remember
31:31
your
31:32
sins
31:32
no
31:33
more
31:34
in
31:35
john
31:35
bunyan's
31:36
pilgrim
31:37
pilgrim's
31:38
progress
31:39
there we
31:40
meet the
31:40
man called
31:41
christian
31:42
man who's
31:43
carrying a
31:44
heavy burden
31:44
!
31:44
on his
31:45
back
31:45
he doesn't
31:47
understand
31:47
what it
31:48
is at
31:49
first but
31:49
he knows
31:50
it's weighing
31:50
him down
31:51
and no
31:51
matter what
31:52
he does
31:52
where he
31:53
goes
31:53
this
31:54
burden
31:55
follows
31:55
him
31:56
it is
31:57
the weight
31:57
of sin
31:58
his guilt
32:00
his past
32:01
his shame
32:01
all of
32:02
these
32:02
things
32:03
but
32:03
christian
32:04
begins
32:04
this
32:04
journey
32:05
he
32:07
climbs
32:07
hills
32:07
he faces
32:08
enemies
32:09
comes
32:09
against
32:10
temptation
32:10
all of
32:11
these
32:11
things
32:11
and the
32:12
burden
32:12
remains
32:13
until
32:13
he reaches
32:14
a hill
32:15
with a
32:15
cross
32:15
at the
32:16
top
32:16
and
32:18
that's
32:18
when
32:19
everything
32:19
changes
32:20
because
32:22
there as
32:22
he approaches
32:23
the cross
32:24
the straps
32:25
break
32:26
the burden
32:27
falls
32:28
off
32:29
rolls
32:29
down
32:30
the hill
32:30
into
32:31
an
32:31
empty
32:31
tomb
32:32
and
32:34
there
32:34
he
32:34
knows
32:35
that
32:35
he
32:36
is
32:36
free
32:36
he
32:37
is
32:37
forgiven
32:38
his
32:38
sin
32:39
has
32:39
been
32:40
taken
32:40
from
32:41
him
32:41
and
32:42
that
32:42
is
32:42
the
32:43
joy
32:43
of
32:44
the
32:44
christian
32:44
that
32:46
is
32:46
the
32:46
joy
32:46
that
32:47
we
32:47
see
32:48
as
32:49
we
32:49
look
32:49
to
32:49
the
32:49
lord
32:50
jesus
32:50
christ
32:51
as
32:52
we
32:52
think
32:52
of
32:52
all
32:53
of
32:53
these
32:53
questions
32:54
that
32:55
we
32:55
have
32:55
where
32:56
can
32:57
we
32:57
go
32:57
what
32:58
can
32:58
we
32:58
say
32:59
what
32:59
can
32:59
i
33:00
do
33:00
we
33:00
have
33:00
so
33:01
many
33:01
questions
33:02
but
33:03
when
33:04
we
33:04
see
33:04
the
33:04
answer
33:04
is
33:05
in
33:05
christ
33:05
it
33:06
leads
33:06
us
33:06
to
33:07
this
33:07
point
33:07
where
33:07
we
33:08
see
33:08
i
33:09
will
33:09
remember
33:10
your
33:10
sins
33:11
no
33:12
more
33:12
what
33:15
would
33:15
you
33:15
say
33:16
if
33:17
the
33:17
lord
33:17
returns
33:18
tonight
33:18
and
33:19
you
33:19
have
33:19
to
33:19
stand
33:20
before
33:21
how
33:22
do
33:22
you
33:22
justify
33:23
yourself
33:24
is
33:26
it
33:26
what
33:26
you
33:27
have
33:27
done
33:27
is
33:28
it
33:28
the
33:29
good
33:29
things
33:29
or
33:31
is
33:32
it
33:32
by
33:32
faith
33:33
by
33:35
believing
33:35
by
