Pastor Chuck Swindoll | Insight for Living – The Glory of God, Part 1 · INSIGHT FOR LIVING: Biblical Wisdom For Everyday Living

0:09
Speaker 1: What does it mean that God is glorious? It's a
0:12
Speaker 1: word we sing, a word we pray, But do we
0:15
Speaker 1: really know what we're saying?
0:17
Speaker 2: Today?
0:17
Speaker 1: On Insight for Living, Chuck Wendall begins a landmark twelve
0:21
Speaker 1: message journey into the very character of God. Not a
0:25
Speaker 1: dry theological lecture, but a soul anchoring, heart soaring exploration
0:30
Speaker 1: of the attributes that make our God unlike any other.
0:34
Speaker 1: This is the kind of series that will change the
0:36
Speaker 1: way you see Him and the way you see yourself.
0:39
Speaker 1: Chuck opens with the Glory of God.
0:50
Speaker 2: Beginning today and for the next number of Sundays, we'll
0:53
Speaker 2: be engaged in a series on our Triune God, Doctor,
1:00
Speaker 2: subject though it is, and with our inability to ever
1:03
Speaker 2: to get our arms around it, my desire will be
1:05
Speaker 2: to show you the practical side of the attributes of God.
1:10
Speaker 2: Will choose four of them today, his Glory, next Sunday,
1:14
Speaker 2: his Holiness. We'll get to know God, our Father better
1:17
Speaker 2: in these four Sundays, followed by an emphasis on the
1:21
Speaker 2: Cross of Christ. That christological study will give our attention
1:26
Speaker 2: to the cross, what He accomplished there and why it
1:30
Speaker 2: was necessary. And then we will conclude the series with
1:34
Speaker 2: the power of the Holy Spirit, turn in your Bible
1:38
Speaker 2: to a rather unknown section of scripture, or at least
1:42
Speaker 2: unused Second Chronicles, chapter twenty six. Every once in a while,
1:48
Speaker 2: the Spirit of God hovers over a life for the
1:51
Speaker 2: purpose of teaching us a lesson that ties in with
1:55
Speaker 2: truth that is timeless and transcendent. Such it was in
2:00
Speaker 2: the life of King Usiah. Second Chronicles twenty six begins,
2:07
Speaker 2: and all the people of Judah took Usiah, who was
2:11
Speaker 2: sixteen years old, and made him king in the place
2:15
Speaker 2: of his father Amaziah. Verse three. Usiah was sixteen years
2:21
Speaker 2: old when he became king, and he reigned fifty two
2:25
Speaker 2: years in Jerusalem, and his mother's name was Jekaliah of Jerusalem.
2:33
Speaker 2: He did right in the sight of the Lord, according
2:36
Speaker 2: to all that his father Amaziah had done. He continued
2:40
Speaker 2: to seek God in the days of Zechariah, who had
2:45
Speaker 2: understanding through the vision of God. And as long as
2:49
Speaker 2: he sought the Lord, God prospered him. Verse seven. God
2:54
Speaker 2: helped him against the Philistines, against the Arabians who lived
2:59
Speaker 2: in Gourbaal and the Millionites. The Ammonites also gave tribute
3:04
Speaker 2: to Usiah, and his fame extended to the border of Egypt,
3:11
Speaker 2: he became very strong verse fifteen. In Jerusalem, he made
3:17
Speaker 2: engines of war, invented by skillful men, to be on
3:21
Speaker 2: the towers and on the corners, for the purpose of
3:25
Speaker 2: shooting arrows and great stones. Hence his fame spread afar.
3:34
Speaker 2: For he was marvelously helped until he was strong. But
3:40
Speaker 2: when he became strong, his heart was so proud that
3:44
Speaker 2: he acted corruptly, and he was unfaithful to the Lord
3:49
Speaker 2: his God. For he entered the temple of the Lord
3:52
Speaker 2: to burn incense on the altar of incense. Then as
3:56
Speaker 2: Ariah the priest entered after him, and with him eighty
4:00
Speaker 2: priests of the Lord, valiant men, and they opposed Yusiah
4:04
Speaker 2: the king, and said to him, it is not for you, Usiah,
4:08
Speaker 2: to burn incense to the Lord, but for the priests,
4:13
Speaker 2: the sons of Erin, who were consecrated to burn incense,
4:17
Speaker 2: get out of the sanctuary, for you have been unfaithful
4:20
Speaker 2: and will have no honor from the Lord God. But Yusiah,
4:26
Speaker 2: with a censer in his hand for burning incense, was enraged.
4:33
Speaker 2: And while he was enraged with the priests, leprosy broke
4:37
Speaker 2: out on his forehead. Before the priests in the house
4:41
Speaker 2: of the Lord beside the altar of incense Verse twenty one.
4:49
Speaker 2: King Issiah was a leper to the day of his death,
4:54
Speaker 2: and he lived in a separate house, being a leper,
4:57
Speaker 2: for he was cut off from the house of the Lord.
5:00
Speaker 2: Lord twenty three. So Usiah slept with his father's and
5:06
Speaker 2: they buried him with his fathers in the field of
5:09
Speaker 2: the grave, which belonged to the kings. Or they said,
5:15
Speaker 2: he is a leper.

Speaker 1: Slash offer Chuck title today's message, the Glory of God.
5:43
Speaker 2: I was a teenager before I asked my first serious
5:46
Speaker 2: theological question. It surprisingly had to do with the glory
5:52
Speaker 2: of God. That deserves an explanation. I was raised in
5:57
Speaker 2: a family there's musical. We love music. We sang it.
6:00
Speaker 2: We played it all through my years at home before
6:04
Speaker 2: I got married, and I remember standing around the piano
6:08
Speaker 2: singing as a family. We had an old, upright piano
6:11
Speaker 2: that's sat in our living room, and both my mother
6:14
Speaker 2: and my brother especially played beautiful piano, and mother sang
6:19
Speaker 2: soprano and lucy, my sister sang alto. I sang tenor,
6:24
Speaker 2: and my brother Orville sang bass. And my dad played
6:28
Speaker 2: the harmonica and the colomb. That was his great claim
6:33
Speaker 2: to fame as harmonica player. Well, we sang all kinds
6:38
Speaker 2: of music. We sang patriotic songs, and of course folks songs,
6:43
Speaker 2: and love songs, and sacred songs, and all arrangements that
6:49
Speaker 2: we could find. In fact, on occasion, my brother would
6:52
Speaker 2: write a piece and we would sing it. My mother
6:55
Speaker 2: noticed one autumn day in the newspaper down there in Houston,
7:00
Speaker 2: but there was an audition being held at First Methodist
7:03
Speaker 2: Church downtown for the singing of the great master work
7:08
Speaker 2: of Handel Messiah. She decided we would all audition. I
7:16
Speaker 2: said no. Mother said yes, so I said yes. Being
7:20
Speaker 2: a persuasive mother that she was, she got us all
7:23
Speaker 2: down there, and to my amazement, all of us passed.
7:27
Speaker 2: It was a choir of about two hundred voices, and
7:30
Speaker 2: it would be ultimately an orchestra of about sixty pieces,
7:34
Speaker 2: and a magnificent pipe organ would be played. By this
7:38
Speaker 2: woman who had played organ it seems all of her
7:40
Speaker 2: adult life. And the master work would be conducted by
7:44
Speaker 2: doctor Walter Jenkins, a name familiar among musicians in that era.
7:49
Speaker 2: He led by the way the entire Messiah without the
7:52
Speaker 2: score in front of him. He knew it all by heart.
7:55
Speaker 2: And I'll never forget that first night of our performance.
8:01
Speaker 2: We did it four nights before Christmas. And here I
8:06
Speaker 2: was a young fifteen sixteen year old, surrounded by trained voices,
8:11
Speaker 2: men in the tenor section, and the bass, and the
8:17
Speaker 2: altos and the sopranos. Together were four famous soloists that
8:23
Speaker 2: sang the part. And it all began, as you who
8:25
Speaker 2: love music remember, with the recitative sung by this lyrical tenor,
8:30
Speaker 2: Comfort ye, Comfort ye, my people, right out of Isaiah forty.
8:35
Speaker 2: And then he would end with the aria, every valley
8:38
Speaker 2: shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill made low.
8:42
Speaker 2: The crooked place is straight, and the rough places plan.
8:46
Speaker 2: The thing I love about Messiah is it's all from
8:49
Speaker 2: the scriptures. And then everybody stood up in the choir
8:53
Speaker 2: and we began the first corral piece, and the glory,
8:59
Speaker 2: the glory of the Lord, shall be revealed. For the
9:04
Speaker 2: mouth of the Lord hath spoken it, Isaiah forty verse five.
9:12
Speaker 2: I have to tell you that the ecstasy of all
9:15
Speaker 2: of the music brought tears to my young eyes. I
9:19
Speaker 2: couldn't continue the chorus, and to this day, on occasion,
9:23
Speaker 2: I am moved to tears with great music. It was
9:28
Speaker 2: raining that night as we were on our way home,
9:30
Speaker 2: and I sat in the back seat of our old
9:32
Speaker 2: forty one Ford, alongside my sister who was about asleep,
9:35
Speaker 2: and my brother looking out his window, and I said
9:40
Speaker 2: to my daddy, Daddy, what's glory? What's glory? I remember
9:46
Speaker 2: we also had sung from Revelation five. Worthy is the
9:52
Speaker 2: lamb that was slain to receive power and riches and
9:59
Speaker 2: wisdom and honor and glory and majesty. Daddy, what's glory
10:08
Speaker 2: the other words? I understood, and in good fatherly fashion,
10:13
Speaker 2: he answered, ask your mother. So I asked my mother,
10:20
Speaker 2: and wise as she was, she said, check the dictionary
10:24
Speaker 2: when we get home. That is a great answer, parents,
10:27
Speaker 2: when you don't know the answer. So I did, and
10:31
Speaker 2: I came across a wealth of information, mainly synonyms. Glory
10:37
Speaker 2: is great, honor and admiration, fame renown, glory is worshipful, admiration.
10:47
Speaker 2: Hear these words, listen carefully, worshipful, admiration, highest praise, splendor, radiant, beauty, magnificence.
11:02
Speaker 2: And it included circle of light. Intriguing, isn't it? Circle
11:09
Speaker 2: of light? What a grand gallery of word? Pictures are
11:13
Speaker 2: found even in Webster's dictionary alongside the word. How important
11:19
Speaker 2: it is that we remember that that marks our God,
11:24
Speaker 2: and no other, and no other. To him alone goes
11:32
Speaker 2: the glory we would say today in our vernacular, all
11:37
Speaker 2: the credit, all of the attention, all of the applause.
11:43
Speaker 2: He alone deserves it all. He alone is our awesome
11:50
Speaker 2: God of glory. How lightly we toss around words that
11:54
Speaker 2: are heavy with meaning heavy. You'll be interested to know,
11:59
Speaker 2: as I was, that the Hebrew word, the original word
12:02
Speaker 2: from which it's translated glory.
12:06
Speaker 3: Is code clothe means heavy, heavy, heavy in power, heavy
12:14
Speaker 3: in authority, heavy in sovereignty, heavy in position, heavy in importance,
12:21
Speaker 3: heavy and riches.
12:24
Speaker 2: He has no needs, He provides our needs, He has
12:30
Speaker 2: no struggles. He meets us in our struggles. I find
12:36
Speaker 2: it also interesting that, apart from the glory, a place
12:41
Speaker 2: of worship is an empty, hollow shell. There's nothing to
12:46
Speaker 2: it but the work of men and women's hands. Is
12:51
Speaker 2: skill and labor draw themselves together, and a building is built,
12:57
Speaker 2: like the first house of worship mentioned in the scriptures Exodus,
13:03
Speaker 2: chapter forty. When you get to the end of a chapter,
13:07
Speaker 2: you find the end of verse thirty three, reading, Thus
13:13
Speaker 2: Moses finished the work, what work, the work on what
13:19
Speaker 2: was called the tabernacle of much gold, of magnificent embroadery,
13:27
Speaker 2: work in the veil that kept the people out of
13:31
Speaker 2: the holiest of all places on the planet. Moses finished
13:36
Speaker 2: the work, but it wasn't finished. It wasn't done. Our
13:41
Speaker 2: workers walked away from our new sanctuary one day, saying,
13:45
Speaker 2: as they clapped their hands together, done, but it isn't done.
13:52
Speaker 2: It's an empty shell. It's a hollow place where you
13:56
Speaker 2: will only hear your echo on occasion without the glory.
14:02
Speaker 2: And in these days the glory was manifested in the light.
14:06
Speaker 2: Remember the definition circle of light. Look at the next verse.
14:13
Speaker 2: Then the cloud got, then the cloud went. After Moses
14:17
Speaker 2: finished the work, when all the skilled labors had gone
14:21
Speaker 2: back to their tents, when all of the seamstresses had
14:25
Speaker 2: put away their thread, when all of those engravers laid
14:30
Speaker 2: aside their mallets and their chisels. When all of it
14:36
Speaker 2: was done, there was a cloud. Watch the cloud covered
14:43
Speaker 2: the tint of meeting, and the Kalo Yahweh look at it.
14:48
Speaker 2: The Kalo Yahweh, the glory of God filled the tapernac.
14:57
Speaker 2: Now it's finished, and we, the people of God, reflecting
15:03
Speaker 2: his glory, filled the house of worship. Then it will
15:06
Speaker 2: be completed. Then it will be finished, and the purpose
15:10
Speaker 2: of it will begin to run its course. But read on.
15:14
Speaker 2: Moses was not able to enter the tent of meeting
15:18
Speaker 2: because the cloud had settled on it, and the Kavod Yahweh,
15:24
Speaker 2: the heavy, the heaviness of our great God, shone down
15:32
Speaker 2: upon it. We don't read it here, but you do later.
15:35
Speaker 2: We read of the Shakina of God. It was a
15:38
Speaker 2: laser like light that originated in the third Heaven and
15:44
Speaker 2: drove its way, penetrating all its way through the atmosphere
15:49
Speaker 2: and plunging into the holiest place of all, so that
15:53
Speaker 2: it is now so holy no one but the high
15:56
Speaker 2: priest can enter but once a year. Imagine that in
16:00
Speaker 2: the middle of the wilderness, when the tabernacle was re erected,
16:05
Speaker 2: and it was taken down and re erected, and taken
16:09
Speaker 2: down when it was erected. That light shone on the
16:13
Speaker 2: mercy seat, the place of God's presence. It leaves the
16:20
Speaker 2: people silent. We even read of the cloud by day
16:25
Speaker 2: on the tabernacle, and the fire which was in it
16:28
Speaker 2: by night, all of God's making. I'll tell you, you
16:34
Speaker 2: read sections like this, you sort of suck in your
16:37
Speaker 2: breath when you really let it land full force. In
16:43
Speaker 2: all honesty, you're no longer the star of the show.
16:48
Speaker 2: In all honesty, you are and I are the rather
16:51
Speaker 2: insignificant in the plan. It is all about our God. Today,
17:00
Speaker 2: men and women, we walk into a space built for worship.
17:06
Speaker 2: That is only space. It's lovely, We're grateful for it.
17:12
Speaker 2: It's beautiful on purpose. It's to reflect our heavenly Father's name.
17:19
Speaker 2: But it is not a house of worship without the church.
17:23
Speaker 2: It's a building. And when we in this era, this age,
17:29
Speaker 2: when we enter that place, we bring the church with us.
17:33
Speaker 2: Isaiah writes of it in Isaiah chapter forty two. So
17:36
Speaker 2: turn from there far ahead in your bible to the
17:40
Speaker 2: ancient book of Isaiah forty second chapter, where we will
17:44
Speaker 2: read again of the Light forty two, Verse five. Thus
17:51
Speaker 2: says God the Lord, who created the heavens and stretched
17:55
Speaker 2: them out, who spread out the earth and it's offspring,
17:59
Speaker 2: who gives breath to the people on it, and spirit
18:03
Speaker 2: to those who walk in it. This is all what
18:05
Speaker 2: God does. This is all about who he is. And
18:09
Speaker 2: then he introduces himself in no uncertain terms. I am
18:14
Speaker 2: the Lord. And look closely at the verbs that follow.
18:19
Speaker 2: I have called you in righteousness. I will also hold
18:25
Speaker 2: you by the hand and watch over you. These are
18:31
Speaker 2: words of presence and protection and closeness. I will appoint
18:37
Speaker 2: you as a covenant to the people. Look closely, as
18:42
Speaker 2: a light to the nations. Writing to Jews, read by Jews,
18:50
Speaker 2: the chosen people. You are not the single depository of
18:54
Speaker 2: the truth to be kept to yourself. You are a channel.
18:58
Speaker 2: Do not forget that from you is to reflect the light.
19:02
Speaker 2: You see, we are like the moon. God is like
19:04
Speaker 2: the sun. The sun emanates like the effulgence of light
19:10
Speaker 2: floods from the Sun. But we, as moon, simply reflected.
19:14
Speaker 2: The moon has no light of its own, It's all
19:16
Speaker 2: reflected light. So it is with us, by the way,
19:22
Speaker 2: as a light to the nations. Let's not forget our mission,
19:27
Speaker 2: no matter our size, no matter the era. No matter
19:31
Speaker 2: our strength or struggles, look closely the light of the
19:35
Speaker 2: nations to do what to open blind eyes. Some of
19:41
Speaker 2: them belong to your neighbors. Some of them are in
19:45
Speaker 2: apartment buildings not that far from here. Some of them
19:50
Speaker 2: you've never met. Most of them you don't know. But
19:54
Speaker 2: their eyes are blind. And the light to the nations
19:58
Speaker 2: is to include bringing prisoners from the dungeon. Think of
20:02
Speaker 2: them as inhabiting prisons of darkness. Remember Wesley's words that
20:10
Speaker 2: I diffused the quickening ray. I rose, speaking of his
20:14
Speaker 2: time in the dungeon, and flooded with light, I went
20:19
Speaker 2: on my way. We who are filled with the grace
20:26
Speaker 2: of God have his light shining upon us. But never
20:30
Speaker 2: think that you are the star. I've spoken to people.
20:36
Speaker 2: I happened to have been in the land of Turkey,
20:38
Speaker 2: where I brought up the subject of Jesus. And the
20:40
Speaker 2: man looked at me as if I had spoken of
20:43
Speaker 2: a ghost or an imaginary figure. He said, who who?
20:49
Speaker 2: Here was a grown man running a business who has never,
20:52
Speaker 2: for the first time in his life, heard the name Jesus.
20:56
Speaker 2: But that's not just in Turkey. You know that it's
21:00
Speaker 2: the people with whom you work those with whom you school,
21:04
Speaker 2: those who are a part of our heart and never
21:06
Speaker 2: will leave that part of our hearts. Because of the commission,
21:11
Speaker 2: we're to bring prisoners out of the dungeon, and those
21:14
Speaker 2: who dwell in darkness from that prison. And then, as
21:17
Speaker 2: if we need to hear it again, it's as though
21:20
Speaker 2: the Lord is saying, I want to say this to you,
21:22
Speaker 2: and I don't want you to forget it. I am
21:25
Speaker 2: the Lord, that is my name. Look closely at what
21:29
Speaker 2: it says. In following literally my glory to another. I
21:33
Speaker 2: will not give my light, my splendor, the credit that
21:40
Speaker 2: belongs to me, the power that is my name, the
21:44
Speaker 2: sovereignty that represents my choices, my decisions, my directives, that's
21:50
Speaker 2: mine and mine alone. Give it to no other, and
21:55
Speaker 2: do not dare attempt to take it from me. It
21:59
Speaker 2: is glory only for me. The Lord is my name,
22:06
Speaker 2: my glory is mine, and my praise is not to
22:10
Speaker 2: go to graven images. You are the light, and you
22:13
Speaker 2: reflect it. Walter Chalmer Smith wrote of it in the
22:16
Speaker 2: last part of the nineteenth century, Immortal, invisible God, only
22:20
Speaker 2: wise in light inaccessible? Did you hear the word? And
22:24
Speaker 2: light inaccessible hid from our eyes? Most blessed, most glorious,
22:28
Speaker 2: the Ancient of days, Almighty, Victorious, My great name. We
22:32
Speaker 2: praise to him, belongs to glory. To him, goes all
22:37
Speaker 2: the credit to him. We give our applause to him.
22:42
Speaker 2: We stand in awe before him. Isaiah stands as a
22:47
Speaker 2: marvelous reminder that this is not to be forgotten.
23:00
Speaker 1: God's glory is not ours to claim. It never has been.
23:04
Speaker 1: His glory, heavy, magnificent, and radiant, belongs to him alone.
23:09
Speaker 1: What you've heard from Chuckswundall today will anchor your soul
23:12
Speaker 1: if you'll let it to go deeper into this passage.
23:15
Speaker 1: Insight for Living offers several rich Bible study tools to
23:19
Speaker 1: help you do exactly that. For instance, the Searching the
23:22
Speaker 1: Scripture's Bible study workbook is ready for this series. It's
23:26
Speaker 1: called How Great is Our God, and it contains all
23:29
Speaker 1: twelve studies from Chuck, plus the audio recordings of these
23:33
Speaker 1: messages are ready as well. To purchase these resources, go
23:36
Speaker 1: to insight dot org slash offer. In just a moment,
23:41
Speaker 1: I'll tell you about a brand new booklet that Chuck's
23:43
Speaker 1: written about the power of the Cross. We published it
23:46
Speaker 1: just in time to coincide with this teaching series on
23:49
Speaker 1: the attributes of God. The Cross not only represents our
23:53
Speaker 1: salvation through Christ, but when we focus on the Cross
23:56
Speaker 1: of Jesus, it becomes our compass every single day.
24:00
Speaker 2: Chuck, you might not remember the name Roy Regals if not.
24:05
Speaker 2: Roy was a football player and in the nineteen twenty
24:09
Speaker 2: nine Rose Bowl, he picked up a fumble and took off,
24:12
Speaker 2: running fast, confident, strutting toward the goal line, absolutely certain
24:19
Speaker 2: he knew where he was going. Guess what he was
24:22
Speaker 2: headed in the wrong direction. A seventy yard sprint, headed
24:27
Speaker 2: the wrong way. Oh man, can't you just picture it?
24:31
Speaker 2: His own teammate had to chase him down, and when
24:35
Speaker 2: that teammate finally caught up with him, Roy shouted, I
24:39
Speaker 2: love this, get away from me, this is my touchdown.
24:43
Speaker 2: He was convinced, but Roy was dead wrong. Well, I've
24:48
Speaker 2: spent a lifetime in ministry, and I can tell you
24:52
Speaker 2: that story never gets old because it never stops being true.
24:57
Speaker 2: Sincere people, well meaning people, people who love God and
25:01
Speaker 2: work hard and mean every word of their prayers running
25:05
Speaker 2: the wrong direction? Why because somewhere along the way they
25:10
Speaker 2: lost sight of the cross. The cross reorients everything when
25:14
Speaker 2: it's in clear focus. You know which goal line is which,
25:18
Speaker 2: you know what matters and what doesn't. You know how
25:21
Speaker 2: to live. That's what Insight for Living is all about.
25:25
Speaker 2: Every broadcast, every resource, every message we send into the
25:30
Speaker 2: world has one purpose to point people back to the Cross.
25:36
Speaker 2: Not to me, not to this program, but to the Cross.
25:40
Speaker 2: And here's something I want you to understand. As we
25:43
Speaker 2: approach June thirtieth, the end of our fiscal year. Every
25:48
Speaker 2: gift that comes in doesn't just keep Insight for Living
25:52
Speaker 2: on the air. It sends you into the world as
25:56
Speaker 2: a minister of this message through radio, through the Internet,
26:00
Speaker 2: through social media and printed materials, reaching people on every continent.
26:06
Speaker 2: You cast that seed, we just get to watch God
26:09
Speaker 2: grow it. Please give today generously. The world needs the
26:15
Speaker 2: right direction.

Speaker 1: booklet from Chuck. It's called the Cross. We proclaim. In
26:40
Speaker 1: his booklet, Chuck draws from Paul's letter to the Corinthians
26:44
Speaker 1: to show how easy it is to live with great
26:46
Speaker 1: energy but beheading in the wrong direction, whether chasing achievement, reputation,
26:52

26:55
