  Lord, we love you, and it's in your mighty and powerful and

• 3:08
  Well, let's start in verse one. God, who at sundry times and in
• 3:17
  diverse manners spoke in times past unto the fathers by the
• 3:22
  prophets. So here the writer of Hebrews,
• 3:25
  which is anonymous, but we could surmise that it is the Apostle
• 3:31
  Paul. But here the writer of Hebrews
• 3:34
  wants to hearken the recipients of this letter who were early
• 3:41
  Christians who were coming from a Jewish background.
• 3:45
  He wants them to remember that the prophets of old had spoke to
• 3:50
  the fathers, and that God himself was speaking through
• 3:54
  those prophets in many different ways and at many different
• 3:58
  times. To had in the has in these last
• 4:02
  days spoken unto us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of
• 4:09
  all things, by whom also He made the world.
• 4:13
  So he's talking about Jesus Christ, and he's saying here we
• 4:18
  do not need to wait on another that the fulfillment of the
• 4:23
  Messiah has come in Christ Jesus.
• 4:26
  And he's going to paint a beautiful picture to these early
• 4:29
  converts from Judaism into Christianity.
• 4:34
  He's going to paint a beautiful masterpiece of why they can
• 4:38
  trust and rely that Jesus Christ is the Messiah.
• 4:45
  He made the world's and he's the heir of all things three, who
• 4:50
  being the brightness of his glory and the express image of
• 4:55
  his person and upholding all things by the word of his power
• 4:59
  when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right
• 5:04
  hand of the majesty on high. So Jesus Christ is seated at the
• 5:08
  right hand of God. He's not like the angels.
• 5:12
  He is seated, Friends. He's not ministering.
• 5:16
  He's not the one who has to go out and do the work.
• 5:19
  He is resting. He is seated because he finished
• 5:22
  the work on the cross. It is finished.
• 5:25
  It is paid in full, friends, and that is the glory of Jesus
• 5:29
  Christ. And here the writer of Hebrews
• 5:32
  wants us to know that he is the express image of God.
• 5:36
  It's like a signet ring that's dipped into the wax, friends.
• 5:40
  It is a mirror of God Almighty. If you have seen Jesus, then you
• 5:45
  have seen God because they are synonymous and Jesus is God who
• 5:50
  being in the brightness of his glory, Can you see the glory as
• 5:54
  the train of his robe fills the temple and he's upholding all
• 5:58
  things by the word of his power. Think about it friends.
• 6:02
  He spoke everything into existence.
• 6:05
  He said let us make man in our image.
• 6:08
  You can see the triune nature of God Almighty all the way back at
• 6:12
  the creative act, friends. And he's sustaining everything
• 6:18
  just by His word, His breath. And that's how he's going to
• 6:22
  destroy all of His enemies when He makes them a footstool under
• 6:26
  His feet is by the breath of His mouth.
• 6:29
  It's a 2 edged sword that comes out of His mouth.
• 6:32
  It's easy for him. His yoke is easy.
• 6:35
  His burden is light. We do not need to fret.
• 6:38
  We do not need to bite our nails trying to figure out what is
• 6:41
  going to happen. We just rest in Jesus.
• 6:44
  Get in Jesus, he is the power on high.
• 6:48
  He is all powerful and we do not need to worry friends, we just
• 6:53
  get in the boat, get in Jesus Christ and you are safe and you
• 6:57
  are secure for all of eternity and he's going to make every
• 7:01
  wrong thing right friends, and we don't need to try and figure
• 7:04
  it all out. We just rest in Christ.
• 7:07
  We rest in the finished work of the Cross for being made so much
• 7:13
  better than the angels. As He has by inheritance
• 7:18
  obtained a more excellent name than they, He has the name that
• 7:22
  is above all names, friends, and anyone who calls on that name
• 7:27
  shall be saved. 5 For unto which of the angels, said he, at any
• 7:32
  time You are my Son, this day I have begotten thee, and again I
• 7:38
  will be to him a Father, and He shall be to me a Son.
• 7:43
  You know, it is not as if God Almighty born Jesus Christ, It
• 7:49
  is that He is the first of all to inherit.
• 7:54
  He is the only begotten, friends.
• 7:57
  And that is the reality that we need to let sink in.
• 8:01
  It is not as if God the Father had Jesus Christ.
• 8:05
  Jesus Christ is from everlasting to everlasting.
• 8:10
  Friends 6 And again, when he brings in the first begotten
• 8:16
  into the world, he says, and let all the angels of God worship
• 8:20
  him. You can see that Jesus Christ is
• 8:22
  deity and that the angels worship Jesus Christ.
• 8:27
  How amazing is that? Let all the angels worship Him.
• 8:31
  We never need to try to place an Angel in a higher position than
• 8:35
  Jesus Christ. We never need to let an angel's
• 8:38
  name be the highest position in our minds.
• 8:42
  It is Christ Jesus Jesus and Jesus alone, friends, who
• 8:46
  deserves all of the worship. 7 and of the angels, he says, who
• 8:52
  makes his Angel spirits and his ministers a flame of fire.
• 8:56
  So here we go, Jesus Christ is getting all the worship from the
• 9:02
  Angel, and he makes his angels spirits and his ministers a
• 9:06
  flame of fire. You can see them worshipping Him
• 9:10
  night and day. You can see them crying out.
• 9:13
  Holy holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, and there was only one
• 9:18
  found worthy to open the scroll. Is Jesus Christ the Lamb that
• 9:23
  was slain, and we love him. 8 But unto the Son he says, Your
• 9:28
  throne, oh God, God, is forever and ever.
• 9:32
  A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of your Kingdom.
• 9:36
  Here God calls Jesus God. Don't miss it.
• 9:43
  God calls Jesus God, he says, but unto the Son he says, who?
• 9:50
  God says, Your throne, O God, is forever and ever.
• 9:55
  A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of your Kingdom,
• 9:59
  that is Jesus Christ with the title of God Almighty. 9 You
• 10:04
  have loved righteousness and hated iniquity.
• 10:07
  Therefore God, even your God, has anointed you with the oil of
• 10:12
  gladness above your fellows. There is no one above Jesus
• 10:16
  Christ. He has this oil of gladness and
• 10:19
  it is available to you St. if you'll take a hold of it.
• 10:22
  Choose joy today. Choose this oil of gladness
• 10:25
  today. Don't be caught up in your past.
• 10:29
  Don't be caught up in your childhood.
• 10:31
  Don't be caught up in the ways of the world, friends.
• 10:34
  Don't be entangled and snared by all the things of this world.
• 10:38
  Friends, We need the oil of gladness today, knowing that the
• 10:41
  work is finished and we are going to bust heaven wide open.
• 10:44
  Praise God, Hallelujah, this oil of gladness is available and it
• 10:49
  is the oil of being filled with the Holy Ghost.
• 10:52
  Not just halfway, not just a little bit, not just almost, but
• 10:56
  filled, overflowing with this oil of the Holy Ghost.
• 11:00
  This is gladness. 10 And you, Lord, in the beginning has laid
• 11:05
  the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the works of
• 11:08
  your hands. So here we're going to get to
• 11:10
  see the plan for the ages. 11 They shall perish, but you
• 11:15
  remain. They all shall wax old, as does
• 11:19
  a garment, 12 And as a vesture shall you fold them up, and they
• 11:24
  shall be changed, but you are the same, and your years shall
• 11:28
  not fail. Praise God, Hallelujah, Jesus
• 11:31
  Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forevermore.
• 11:34
  This earth of ours that we inhabit is wearing out like a
• 11:40
  piece of clothing. We all want to try to talk about
• 11:44
  climate change. We all want to try to talk about
• 11:47
  all of the things that are happening, all of the pollutants
• 11:51
  and all of the mass deforestation and the things
• 11:54
  that plague our time. And we want to act as if we can
• 11:58
  do something that's going to change it.
• 12:00
  But the reality is it's all wearing out like an old piece of
• 12:04
  clothing. And God said it would be so.
• 12:07
  But he's going to make everything new.
• 12:09
  He's going to make a new heaven and a new earth.
• 12:11
  He's going to burn this one up. And all the impurities are going
• 12:14
  to melt off like dross, and we're going to see a new heaven
• 12:18
  and a new earth emerge, friends, that is beautiful and it is
• 12:24
  going to be eternal. And all of creation groans and
• 12:32
  waits for that day. 13 But to which of the angels said he, at
• 12:41
  any time sit on my right hand, until I make your enemies the
• 12:45
  footstool. So that is what you need to
• 12:47
  understand. All those that rail against God,
• 12:51
  all those that blasphemy the name of Jesus Christ, all those
• 12:55
  that refuse to repent, all those who refuse to believe, all those
• 13:00
  who refuse to come in the Christian faith, friends, which
• 13:05
  Jesus Christ says I am the way, the truth and the life.
• 13:10
  And no one comes unto the Father except through him.
• 13:14
  You can see that he is the only way into eternity.
• 13:19
  And all of those who refuse to come by way of the blood of the
• 13:24
  Lamb will be eternally separated.
• 13:26
  There is no universalism, friends, there is no different
• 13:33
  path. There is only Jesus Christ and
• 13:36
  Jesus alone, Friends, that's going to get you into eternity,
• 13:40
  and it's not of anything that you have done, but it is
• 13:43
  everything that He did. And we rest on the finished work
• 13:47
  of Jesus Christ. 14 will end here.
• 13:51
  Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister
• 13:56
  for them who shall be heirs of salvation?
• 14:00
  So these angels are sent out to protect those who will inherit
• 14:05
  eternal life. God already knows who belongs to
• 14:08
  them. But here you can see that the
• 14:10
  angels are ministers and Jesus Christ is not.
• 14:14
  Jesus Christ is seated at the right hand of God.
• 14:19
  He is there enjoying the finished work that He has done
• 14:23
  while the angels are still out and about doing God's bidding
• 14:27
  and protecting the Saints. Friends, how amazing is that?
• 14:31
  God is the Alpha and the Omega. He's the beginning and the end
• 14:36
  and He already knows who belongs to Him and He is sending out the
• 14:40
  angels to protect those. What an amazing thought.
• 14:44
  I hope you've been blessed by this amazing chapter in God's
• 14:47
  Word. I know I sure have.
• 14:52
  I'm praying for every single one of you.
• 14:54
  I love you. We'll see you back here
• 14:56
  tomorrow. God bless you.
