• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Let's pray, Father, thank you for this day, and thank
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: you for giving us the privilege of coming together. And
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: thank you for being the judge and not leaving all
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: judgment up to humans. Thank you in Jesus' name. I pray,
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: hey man, and amen again the Supreme Judge. I'm so
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: glad that God has not left us solely in the
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: hands of humans. Yes, yes, he has shown in the
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: scriptures that the magistrates and judges, he said, did I
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: not also call them God's lowercase G, meaning that they
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: represent the living God Blessed be his name? And they
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: have responsibility. They have responsibility to execute judgment and justice
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: in the way that God would have us to see
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: it in our societies, even in twenty twenty five. And
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: I know that He has given his Holy Spirit. He
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: has made it possible that those individuals would have a
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: basis for holiness and judgment. However, we're seeing more and
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: more every day that the systems are more and more corrupt.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: We saw it back in the day, yes, in the
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Bible times, for sure, But daily we see some slips
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: into areas where we're like, but but my Goodness, God, like,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: how long will you allow these things to happen? Where
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: injustice seems to become the norm at times? I said, seems,
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: I said, seems, So we need God to be the
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: ultimate judge, the supreme judge, because humans have a habit
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: of dropping the ball. And so the lesson writer points
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: out that the holiness of God's character means that he
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: cannot tolerate sin. He cannot tolerate sin. He is patient. However,
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: sin must reap its final consequence, which is destruction. God,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: the one who created us, has declared war on sin,
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: regardless of where it's found, whether in his people or
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: among people who never even declared that they loved God.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: And so we go in with our lessons for today.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Our lessons for today, beginning with God's judgment reveals his holiness.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: I love this one from the Book of Psalms, chapter
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: seven and verse eleven. God judgeth the Righteous, that is,
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: he shows he manifests based on his standard of holiness,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: his law, and the character of Christ, which he can
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: put in our lives if we are willing to surrender
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: our will to him. God Judgeth the Righteous. And God
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: is angry with the wicked every day because God, I
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: told you the other day, and you've read it in
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: the word. I didn't make it up, so you know
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: I'm not the originator, clearly. But God has given us
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: so much mercy, He's revealed himself in so many ways
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: for so many generations that there is literally no no
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: excuse for any of us, especially those under the sound
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: of My voice, especially double, especially me. There is no
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: excuse for me to jump into sin. There is no
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: reason for me to backslide into old ways. There is
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: no reason for me to do those things that displease God,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: because He's the one, through his mercy and the giving
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: of the righteousness of Christ and the empowerment through the
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: Holy Ghost, for us to live like He would have
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: us to live. And this is revealed in his holiness.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: God's role as judge flows from his character of perfect holiness.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: He is patient, but cannot ignore sin forever. The Canaanite
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: wars were not campaigns of human glory. They were not
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: they were not. They weren't. It wasn't conquest. God was
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: just saying, listen, the cup of his indignation had been filled,
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: and he had given it as much mercy as he could,
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: and now the people have to really just get what
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: they have chosen. Yeah, whether judgment fell on Canaan or
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: God's people, God's standard was the same. He cannot tolerate evil,
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: even among his own people. Let me just say the
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: most graphic example of this is the fact that Jesus
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: died in his humanity, or his human as his human
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: self died on the cross to save us from our sins.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: The judgment of God was upon Jesus's humanity, because Jesus
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: became sin in order that we could become the righteousness
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: of God. And so in the moment that he's crying
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: out to his father as if he had been forsaken,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: I said, as if because he could not sense the
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: presence of his father. The sun wasn't even shining in
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: the way that he had normally seen, and he just
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: couldn't take that separation. That meant that in that moment hmm,
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: justice was being meeted out against sin because Jesus assumed
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: the guilt of every human being on planet Earth at
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: any time during any age. So that now if we
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: confess our sins, he is faithful and He's just to
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: forgive us of all of our sins and to cleanse
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: us from all unrighteousness. So God does not discriminate. He
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: is the one who is merciful to all. And if
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: people decide to turn our backs on him, then God forbid.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: He's the one that has to execute the judgment or condemnation.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: So invite God every day to expose the hidden sins
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: in your heart. This is not to jump up and
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: down day. This is not the day that we play
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: the ham in B three and lose our minds in
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: the spirit. If you want to say in air quotes,
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: this is the day that we humble ourselves before God.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: We are searching our own souls and we're saying God, God,
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: if there be any sin inside of my life that
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: I have not yet surrendered, please show it to me.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: Please show it to me and give me the strength
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: to turn away from it. Our lesson number two comes
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: in from the Book of Psalms, chapter fifty and verse six,
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: and the heaven shall declare his righteousness. For God is
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: judge himself. So when God judges, his goal is restoration.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: That's the goal. That's the goal. Every act of judgment
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: restores moral order where sin caused chaos. God's wars in
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: the Old Testament were divine interventions to preserve righteousness in
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: the land. If he just let that stuff go, some
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: of the stuff we see in the news, God is
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: gonna judge that. I promise you He's not gonna let
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: that stuff go forever and ever, all of that that corruption,
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: all of the wickedness in the nation. He's not going
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: to allow that stuff to go forever and ever. At
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: some point he's going to stand up. He fights. His
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: purpose of fighting has nothing to do with conquest, but
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: everything to do with peace on earth, good will toward men.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: Somebody just heard what I said. And then finally, our
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: lesson is gospel. The gospel is God's judgment and grace aready.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: I already mentioned it to you a moment ago, in
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: my moment of passion. But the cross is where divine
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: judgment and mercy come together. We thank God that he
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: has given us the privilege of experiencing his mercy so
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: that we never have to experience his condemnation. Peace.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us listening. Friends, Always remember we cannot
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: live by bread alone, but by every word that comes
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: from the mouth of God. This has been your daily
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: portion with El David Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
