Hebrews 2:10-16 · Providence Baptist Church - Sermons

0:00
Please take with me your Bible and turn to Hebrews chapter 2.
0:06
! Yes, actually, Hebrews chapter 2.
0:10
If you're a guest this morning, you have no idea what I'm talking about.
0:13
! I've been purposing to preach this for the past two weeks,
0:15
and I've made last-minute changes of plan both of those weeks,
0:21
and so that's why I'm jesting a bit here.
0:23
We have, however, talked some in the past weeks about suffering,
0:30
and we're going to pick up the topic again this morning.
0:35
I'd first like to remind you that the way of the Christian is the way of suffering.
0:44
Jesus said in John chapter 15 and verse 20,
0:48
Remember the word that I said to you.
0:50
A servant is not greater than his master.
0:55
If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you.
0:59
If they kept my word, they will also keep yours.
1:04
There will be people who have an aversion from the word of Christ,
1:08
and they will not like us for sharing it with them.
1:14
Also, Paul stated in 2 Timothy chapter 3 and verse 12,
1:18
You should become familiar with this.
1:21
Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.
1:29
And this is not a necessary call to world mission in dangerous places,
1:34
although it's a comfort to those going to such places.
1:39
This speaks to us here and today.
1:43
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has kind of become the darling of the Democratic Party.
1:51
This is not political commentary I'm about to do.
1:54
She's commonly referred to as AOC, which I actually think is kind of cool.
1:59
She was recently elected Democrat from New York.
2:02
She's very young in Congress.
2:04
And in her campaign, she repeatedly criticized luxury real estate developers,
2:12
claiming that their buildings hiked up rent prices
2:14
and pushed low-income residents out of their neighborhoods.
2:18
And this is true.
2:18
Certainly, gentrification is a thing, and it happens,
2:21
and it should be carefully considered and looked at.
2:25
She says, and I quote,
2:26
We need to kick luxury real estate lobbyists to the curb
2:30
and defend working people's way of life.
2:35
She said this in March of 2018.
2:37
She goes on to say,
2:38
Skyrocketing cost of living is a national crisis that can be addressed.
2:42
It's not just a New York City issue.
2:44
It's happening in every U.S. metro area.
2:48
And this was a large platform that found her elected.
2:54
So she's now serving in Congress.
2:55
She's moved to Washington, D.C.,
2:58
and she's living in a brand-new luxury apartment.
3:05
In fact, it's a luxury apartment with security
3:08
that won't let poor people inside.
3:12
Now, we could find inconsistencies anywhere we would look.
3:16
So again, I'm not simply picking on her
3:19
for the sake of picking on the Democratic Party.
3:22
I'm not sharing this example with you
3:24
to make some kind of political point,
3:26
but only to show you
3:27
that our lives must be consistent with our messaging
3:32
to be found credible.
3:35
Who cares what she has to say
3:37
about luxury apartment development anymore?
3:39
If we say that we are followers of Jesus Christ
3:43
and our Lord suffered and died,
3:48
don't we appear uncredible
3:51
if our lives are lived in comfort and in ease?
3:56
Recall what Paul wrote to the believers in Colossae
4:01
in Colossians 1 and verse 24.
4:05
He said,
4:05
Paul here is happy.
4:22
He's rejoicing because for the sake of the church,
4:26
he is putting on display the suffering of Christ.
4:31
Christ certainly suffered.
4:36
We read about him as the suffering servant.
4:41
We can learn from the Scripture
4:42
that he had nowhere to lay his head,
4:45
that he was hated in his hometown.
4:48
We often think of him as rejected in his hometown.
4:51
They actually tried to kill him.
4:52
They tried to throw him off a cliff in his hometown.
4:56
At one point, his mother and brothers
4:58
thought he was a lunatic.
4:59
Thankfully, I didn't see it that way to the end,
5:03
but they at one point thought he had lost his mind.
5:09
Jesus suffered just with the state of the world.
5:13
He was deeply grieved by the brokenness
5:16
that he saw all around him.
5:18
You remember at the death of Lazarus
5:20
when he's told of what happened
5:23
and he's asked to come and raise Lazarus
5:26
and we know he does, he weeps.
5:30
The shortest verse in the Bible.
5:32
John 11, verse 35.
5:35
Jesus wept.
5:38
You can memorize that one.
5:39
I hope you already have.
5:41
Jesus wept.
5:44
The one who held power.
5:47
He had already done miraculous things
5:49
over the wind and the waves,
5:51
over illness, certainly over death.
5:54
He knew that he could go
5:56
and speak Lazarus back to life.
6:00
Why did he cry?
6:03
Why did he not just go,
6:04
it's cool, I got this,
6:06
and go raise him from the dead?
6:09
I think it's right to understand that he cried
6:11
because he saw his friends crying.
6:15
He saw what sin was doing in the world.
6:19
The kind of grief that it was bringing about.
6:22
And so he was weeping with those
6:24
who were weeping.
6:27
Another example of this
6:28
is found in Luke 19, verse 41.
6:32
It's the week we find ourselves in celebrating,
6:35
looking towards Resurrection Sunday.
6:38
Jesus journeying to Jerusalem.
6:42
Luke 19, verse 41 says,
6:43
And when he drew near and saw the city,
6:47
he wept over it.
6:49
And the text goes on to tell us why,
6:51
very specifically why.
6:53
It's because they did not,
6:55
and he knew they would not believe
6:56
that he was the Christ.
6:58
And he knew the judgment
7:00
that was coming upon them.
7:02
He knew about the Roman army
7:05
that was going to march on that city
7:07
and lay it to waste.
7:10
And he was grieved
7:12
that they didn't see the way of peace,
7:14
Luke 19 tells us.
7:17
That they wouldn't come to him
7:19
to have peace,
7:21
ultimate peace with God.
7:24
And then we know,
7:26
and then this week,
7:26
as we look towards Resurrection Sunday,
7:29
that Jesus was mocked.
7:31
He was beaten beyond recognition.
7:34
And he was finally killed
7:36
in the most gruesome way
7:38
ever invented by man.
7:41
Jesus suffered.
7:44
And beloved, he is our Lord.
7:47
Why do we think ourselves better than him?
7:50
We are meant to display
7:52
the suffering of Christ
7:54
in our suffering.
7:57
We are meant to bear the same discomfort
8:00
with this broken world.
8:03
If you have a proper biblical view
8:06
of the world,
8:07
all of the messiness that you see
8:09
goes back to the garden.
8:12
It all harkens back to that
8:14
at the beginning of death in the world.
8:18
It ought to break our hearts
8:19
when we see brokenness.
8:22
It ought to leave us longing
8:24
for a restored kingdom.
8:27
I'm grateful this day
8:29
that with no direction from myself
8:31
that Reese led us in a song of lament.
8:35
How long?
8:38
You read through the book of Psalms,
8:40
over a third of the songs given to us,
8:44
God's people to sing together,
8:46
over a third of them
8:47
are songs of lament,
8:49
crying out to God
8:51
and asking really honest
8:53
and painful questions.
8:55
Did any of you feel uncomfortable
8:58
singing a song?
8:59
It says,
8:59
how long?
9:00
And then we go,
9:01
but we should know the answer to this.
9:03
We should go quickly
9:05
to an anthem song.
9:08
I'm afraid that the American church
9:10
has removed the suffering
9:12
of the Christian life
9:13
and therefore also gives us
9:16
no room for lament
9:17
in our meetings together.
9:19
We've forgotten how to sing songs
9:22
in a minor key.
9:25
To come together to say,
9:27
there's this disconnect
9:29
in how I knew God is
9:31
and the way He's working in the world
9:33
and my experience today.
9:37
I'm in pain
9:38
and I'm hurting
9:39
and I'm longing for something else.
9:42
We don't have language for this
9:44
because we've removed suffering
9:47
from the life,
9:48
the normative life
9:50
of the Christian.
9:51
So when people are suffering,
9:52
they stay home.
9:55
You're welcome to be honest with me
9:56
on a Sunday morning.
9:57
If I say,
9:57
how are you doing?
9:58
You are allowed to say,
9:59
not good.
10:01
I probably won't be able
10:02
to get into the details
10:03
of that with you in the moment,
10:05
but you know what I will say?
10:06
Well, then I'm glad you're here.
10:08
It's the place we come
10:10
to be reminded,
10:11
to ask the question,
10:12
how long?
10:13
And then to be able to say,
10:14
soon.
10:15
We know it's coming soon.
10:20
We're supposed to long
10:21
for that restored kingdom.
10:22
We're supposed to suffer insult,
10:25
loss of relationship,
10:26
and yes,
10:27
even personal harm
10:29
for the sake of making
10:30
the suffering of Christ known.
10:35
Paul says that our afflictions
10:37
are Jesus' afflictions.
10:40
So let's look together
10:44
at Hebrews chapter 2.
10:46
I'm going to start in verse 10,
10:48
and we'll look through verse 16,
10:49
and then,
10:50
Lord willing,
10:51
verse 17 and 18
10:52
next Sunday.
10:53
Before I read it,
10:54
beloved,
10:54
let me remind you
10:55
that this is God's word to us,
10:57
written for His glory
10:58
and our good.
11:00
Our good,
11:01
our benefit.
11:02
We would all do well
11:03
to listen to it
11:04
in order to believe
11:05
its promises
11:05
and obey its commands.
11:10
Speaking here of Jesus Christ,
11:12
for it was fitting
11:13
that He,
11:14
for whom and by whom
11:16
all things exist,
11:19
in bringing many sons to glory,
11:20
should make the founder
11:21
of their salvation
11:22
perfect through suffering.
11:25
For He who sanctifies
11:27
and those who are sanctified
11:28
all have one source.
11:32
That is why He is not ashamed
11:33
to call them brothers,
11:35
saying,
11:36
I will tell of your name
11:37
to my brothers.
11:38
In the midst of the congregation,
11:40
I will sing your praise.
11:42
And again,
11:43
I will put my trust in Him.
11:46
And again,
11:47
behold,
11:48
I and the children
11:49
God has given me.
11:53
Since therefore the children
11:54
share in flesh and blood,
11:55
He Himself likewise
11:57
partook of the same things,
11:59
that through death
12:00
He might destroy the one
12:01
who has the power of death,
12:03
that is,
12:04
the devil,
12:05
and deliver all those
12:07
who through fear of death
12:08
were subject to lifelong slavery.
12:11
For surely it is not
12:13
the angels that He helps,
12:14
but He helps the offspring
12:16
of Abraham.
12:19
Now,
12:20
when you come to a text like this
12:23
and think,
12:24
as I have done over the past weeks,
12:26
this language is so complex,
12:30
you will do well
12:31
to join me in remembering
12:33
that the book of Hebrews
12:34
contains the most eloquent
12:36
of all New Testament Greek.
12:39
And none of us
12:40
are Greek speakers.
12:42
In fact,
12:43
we are a people
12:44
who are communicating
12:45
in shorter and shorter forms.
12:49
Some of you text me
12:50
deep questions.
12:51
We are now sharing video blitz
12:56
with each other
12:56
to communicate.
12:57
We've even reduced
12:58
much of our communication
12:59
to tiny pictures.
13:02
And just so you know,
13:02
when you tag emojis on stuff,
13:04
my eyes are too bad
13:05
to even see what the faces are.
13:07
I have no idea
13:08
what you're saying
13:08
to me.
13:12
We're like going back
13:14
to hieroglyphics.
13:15
It's interesting.
13:15
So,
13:18
we should not be surprised
13:19
that we have some work
13:20
to do
13:21
to rightly understand
13:22
what God would have us learn
13:24
from these precious verses.
13:26
We've got to put in
13:27
a little work
13:27
to wrap our minds
13:29
around what's being
13:30
communicated here.
13:32
And so,
13:32
to help us do that
13:33
this morning,
13:34
I'm going to frame
13:34
that work
13:35
around three points.
13:38
Number one,
13:39
the reality
13:40
of solidarity
13:41
with Jesus.
13:42
Number two,
13:44
the nature
13:45
of solidarity
13:46
with Jesus.
13:48
And number three,
13:49
the deliverance
13:50
of solidarity
13:51
with Jesus.
13:54
Before we consider
13:55
any of those specifics,
13:57
what do I mean
13:58
by solidarity?
14:01
Solidarity
14:01
is a unity
14:03
or agreement
14:04
of feeling
14:06
or action.
14:10
You'll see
14:11
sometimes
14:11
in a movie,
14:12
maybe,
14:12
you know somebody
14:13
who's had a cancer diagnosis
14:15
and in the process
14:16
of chemotherapy,
14:17
they begin to lose
14:18
their hair.
14:19
And so,
14:20
people in solidarity
14:22
with that person
14:23
will shave their heads
14:23
and cut their hair
14:25
off so very short
14:26
to say,
14:26
I'm with you.
14:28
I'm joining you
14:29
in this
14:30
in the way
14:30
that I can.
14:32
This is what we mean
14:32
by solidarity.
14:34
To say that we have
14:35
solidarity with Jesus
14:36
is to say
14:37
that He is in us
14:38
and that we are
14:39
in Him.
14:40
He is shared
14:42
in our experience
14:43
and therefore
14:44
brings us
14:45
into sharing
14:45
in His experience.
14:48
We're unified
14:49
with Christ.
14:51
This is an astounding
14:53
reality.
14:55
It is a thing
14:55
that we are going
14:56
to amuse about
14:57
for our entire lives
14:59
and I'm fairly convinced
15:01
for eternity
15:01
to consider
15:02
this union
15:04
with Christ,
15:05
our solidarity
15:06
with Him.
15:08
And as we take up
15:09
a study of the suffering
15:10
of the church,
15:12
it gives us opportunity
15:13
for careful application
15:15
today.
15:18
So let's do so together.
15:20
Number one,
15:21
the reality
15:22
of solidarity
15:23
with Jesus.
15:24
We have solidarity
15:25
with Christ
15:26
if we are in fact
15:28
in Him.
15:28
If we have placed
15:29
believing faith
15:31
in Him.
15:34
And we see this
15:34
in verse 10
15:35
and in verse 11.
15:39
Verse 10 says
15:39
a rather astounding thing
15:41
for it was fitting.
15:43
For it was fitting.
15:45
So it begs the question,
15:47
what is He referring to?
15:49
It was fitting
15:50
for whom
15:51
and by whom
15:52
all things exist.
15:55
To understand that,
15:56
we need to back up
15:57
a little bit
15:57
in the chapter.
15:58
Beginning in verse 5.
16:01
The writer of Hebrews says,
16:03
For it was not to angels
16:04
that God subjected
16:05
the world to come
16:05
of which we are speaking.
16:07
It has been testified
16:08
somewhere,
16:09
what is man
16:10
that you are mindful of him
16:11
or the son of man
16:12
that you care for him?
16:14
You made him
16:15
for a little while
16:16
lower than the angels.
16:18
You have crowned him
16:19
with glory
16:20
and honor,
16:21
putting everything
16:22
in subjection
16:24
under his feet.
16:26
Now in putting
16:27
everything in subjection
16:28
to him,
16:29
Christ,
16:30
he left nothing
16:31
outside his control.
16:32
At present,
16:32
we do not yet see
16:34
everything in subjection
16:35
to him,
16:36
but we see him
16:37
for a little while
16:38
was made lower
16:39
than the angels,
16:40
namely Jesus,
16:42
crowned with glory
16:43
and honor
16:43
because of the suffering
16:44
of death,
16:45
so that by the grace
16:46
of God
16:47
he might taste death
16:48
for everyone.
16:50
So it's this idea
16:51
that because Jesus suffered,
16:53
he has been exalted.
16:55
He is now crowned
16:56
with glory
16:57
and with honor.
16:58
The writer of Hebrews
16:59
is making the case
16:59
that he's more excellent
17:00
than angels up to this point
17:02
and this is kind of
17:03
the period he puts
17:04
on that, right?
17:05
He was made for a little while
17:07
lower than angels,
17:08
human,
17:09
so that he would be
17:10
exalted as
17:12
the Christ.
17:14
And it's from this idea
17:16
that the author says
17:17
for,
17:18
it was fitting.
17:20
It gives us this repetition
17:21
of this idea
17:22
for whom
17:23
and by whom
17:24
all things
17:25
exist.
17:28
Christ created the world
17:29
and the world exists
17:30
to serve
17:31
him.
17:33
And we see
17:34
in the way
17:35
he does that
17:36
is in bringing
17:38
many sons
17:39
to glory.
17:42
Now ladies,
17:43
I think we can rightly
17:44
say here,
17:45
sons and daughters,
17:47
the Bible uses
17:48
this language
17:49
to carry the weight
17:50
of inheritance.
17:51
So it's okay
17:52
to be a son
17:52
in Christ,
17:54
right?
17:54
To inherit
17:55
all that is yours
17:56
in him.
17:59
So it was the
18:00
purpose of Christ
18:02
as he's made
18:03
a little lower
18:03
than the angels,
18:04
right?
18:05
That he would suffer
18:06
so that he would be
18:07
crowned with glory
18:08
and he would bring
18:09
many to
18:10
glory.
18:13
And I hope
18:14
this morning
18:14
that you're a recipient
18:15
of that work
18:17
on your behalf.
18:19
That you have placed
18:20
believing faith
18:21
in Christ
18:22
that we could
18:23
say of you,
18:24
son of the
18:25
most high,
18:26
of the exalted
18:26
one.
18:30
The author
18:30
then goes on
18:31
this very
18:32
fascinating phrase
18:34
that in bringing
18:36
many sons
18:36
to glory
18:37
that he would
18:37
be made
18:39
the founder
18:39
of their salvation
18:40
perfect
18:41
through
18:42
suffering.
18:45
Now this idea
18:46
of Christ
18:47
being the founder
18:48
of our salvation
18:49
and you could
18:49
also put
18:50
in this place
18:51
the word
18:52
pioneer
18:53
or captain.
18:55
Think forerunner,
18:56
the one who's
18:57
out in front
18:58
and leading
18:59
the triumphal
19:00
procession.
19:03
Recall that the
19:04
original audience
19:05
of this book
19:06
is a storm-tossed
19:08
little church.
19:10
We see many
19:11
examples of that
19:12
throughout the text.
19:13
We know a little
19:14
bit about this
19:16
fellowship.
19:17
They had been
19:19
persecuted.
19:20
They were
19:21
suffering for
19:22
their faith
19:23
and they were
19:23
being tempted
19:24
to go back
19:25
to Judaism.
19:27
They were being
19:27
tempted to
19:28
forsake Christ
19:29
which is why
19:30
this pastoral
19:31
letter comes to
19:32
them to say
19:32
no.
19:34
He's better
19:35
than.
19:35
He's greater
19:36
than.
19:37
Don't leave
19:38
him.
19:41
And so
19:41
they're suffering.
19:42
And it's to
19:44
this group
19:45
that this author
19:47
writes.
19:47
This wonderful
19:48
thing that he
19:49
would be made
19:49
the founder
19:50
of their
19:50
salvation
19:50
perfect
19:51
through
19:52
suffering.
19:56
They had
19:56
suffered
19:57
and they
19:58
would suffer.
20:00
It's likely
20:01
to the point
20:01
of death.
20:03
The writer
20:03
says in
20:04
Hebrews 12
20:05
verse 4
20:05
in your
20:06
struggle
20:06
against sin
20:07
you have
20:07
not yet
20:08
resisted
20:09
to the
20:09
point
20:10
of shedding
20:11
your blood.
20:12
at the very
20:13
least implies
20:14
that they
20:14
would
20:15
someday
20:16
do that
20:17
very thing.
20:18
And they're
20:19
tempted to
20:20
believe that
20:20
the suffering
20:21
of Christ
20:21
was incompatible
20:24
with the
20:25
Christian belief
20:25
that he is
20:26
the sovereign
20:27
creator
20:28
of the
20:29
universe.
20:31
That the
20:31
one who is
20:32
crowned with
20:32
glory would
20:33
come to
20:34
suffer
20:34
and to
20:35
die.
20:37
They're
20:37
tempted to
20:38
go back to
20:38
the common
20:39
Jewish
20:40
understanding
20:40
that the
20:41
Messiah would
20:41
be a
20:42
conquering
20:43
king
20:43
in the
20:44
earthly
20:45
sense.
20:45
That he
20:45
would come
20:46
and he
20:46
would ride
20:47
on a
20:47
stallion
20:47
and lead
20:48
a grand
20:48
army
20:49
and drive
20:49
out
20:49
the
20:51
Romans.
20:52
And this
20:53
is not
20:53
the way
20:54
the kingdom
20:55
comes to
20:56
pass.
20:58
The writer
20:58
of Hebrews
20:59
speaks to
21:00
them and
21:00
to us
21:01
at this
21:02
point of
21:02
temptation
21:03
by
21:04
effectively
21:05
saying
21:05
stay on
21:07
the boat.
21:07
storm
21:09
toss
21:09
church
21:10
stay on
21:11
the boat
21:11
because
21:12
Jesus
21:12
is its
21:14
captain.
21:15
He is
21:16
the founder
21:17
of our
21:18
salvation.
21:18
The captain
21:19
of our
21:20
salvation.
21:21
And we
21:21
are safe
21:23
on the
21:25
boat.
21:27
And this
21:28
Jesus,
21:28
this founder
21:29
of our
21:29
salvation
21:30
was made
21:31
perfect
21:32
through
21:33
suffering.
21:34
And I
21:34
think there's
21:34
a dual
21:35
meaning here.
21:35
we know
21:37
that Jesus
21:37
was always
21:38
perfect.
21:39
So it
21:39
wasn't that
21:40
he was
21:40
corrupted
21:41
and had
21:41
to be
21:41
made
21:42
perfect,
21:43
but that
21:44
he did
21:44
in fact
21:45
grow in
21:45
his
21:45
faithfulness.
21:46
And he
21:47
did so
21:47
through
21:48
suffering.
21:48
He was
21:49
obedient
21:49
even to
21:50
the point
21:50
of
21:51
death.
21:53
But I
21:53
think the
21:53
larger
21:54
meaning,
21:54
and I
21:55
think the
21:55
more
21:55
important
21:56
meaning,
21:56
is that
21:56
this word
21:57
here
21:57
translated
21:58
perfect
21:58
could also
21:59
be
21:59
translated
22:00
consecrated.
22:02
It's a
22:02
way of
22:02
saying
22:03
set apart.
22:04
He was
22:05
set apart
22:06
to be
22:08
the
22:08
founder,
22:09
the
22:09
captain
22:10
of our
22:10
salvation
22:11
through
22:12
suffering.
22:13
It was
22:14
the way
22:14
in which
22:15
that he
22:16
was set
22:16
apart.
22:17
So that
22:18
he would
22:19
share
22:19
in our
22:20
suffering.
22:22
Those of
22:22
us living
22:23
in this
22:24
fallen
22:24
world
22:24
that will
22:25
suffer,
22:27
Christ
22:27
in every
22:28
way and
22:29
in higher
22:29
order
22:30
experienced
22:30
the very
22:31
same
22:32
thing.
22:33
He's
22:33
not
22:34
unable
22:34
to
22:35
sympathize
22:35
with
22:36
us
22:36
because
22:36
he
22:36
also
22:37
suffered.
22:39
And so
22:40
he can
22:40
be
22:41
then
22:41
the
22:41
captain
22:42
of our
22:43
salvation.
22:45
And then
22:45
verse 11
22:46
says,
22:47
for he
22:47
who
22:47
sanctifies
22:48
sets
22:49
apart
22:49
and
22:50
perfects
22:50
those
22:51
being
22:51
saved
22:51
and
22:52
those
22:52
who
22:52
are
22:52
sanctified
22:53
all
22:53
have
22:54
one
22:55
source.
22:57
And
22:58
here
22:58
it's
22:59
believed
22:59
that the
23:00
writer of
23:00
Hebrews
23:00
is
23:00
referring
23:01
to
23:01
the
23:02
humanity
23:02
of
23:04
these
23:04
believers
23:04
and
23:05
ours
23:05
and
23:05
the
23:05
humanity
23:06
of
23:07
Christ.
23:08
I'll
23:08
let you
23:09
wrestle
23:09
with that
23:09
one a
23:09
bit on
23:10
your
23:10
own
23:10
and
23:10
I'll
23:10
save
23:11
you
23:11
my
23:11
complicated
23:12
thought
23:13
process
23:13
on
23:13
it.
23:14
It's
23:14
believed
23:15
that's
23:15
what's
23:15
being
23:16
said
23:16
because
23:16
in
23:17
the
23:17
rest
23:17
of
23:17
verse
23:17
11
23:18
the
23:19
author
23:19
goes
23:19
on
23:20
to
23:20
say
23:20
that
23:20
is
23:20
why
23:21
he
23:21
is
23:21
not
23:21
ashamed
23:22
to
23:22
call
23:22
them
23:22
brothers.
23:24
He
23:25
is
23:25
unified
23:26
with
23:26
us
23:26
in
23:27
our
23:27
humanity.
23:29
And
23:29
what an
23:30
astounding
23:30
thing
23:31
that we
23:32
are
23:32
called
23:33
brothers.
23:35
He's
23:35
not ashamed
23:36
and the
23:36
positive
23:36
of that
23:37
is to
23:37
say
23:37
that
23:38
Christ
23:38
rejoices
23:39
to give
23:40
us
23:40
family
23:41
designation.
23:43
So if
23:44
you are
23:44
in
23:45
Christ
23:45
then
23:46
Christ
23:46
is
23:47
in
23:47
you
23:47
and
23:48
there's
23:48
a
23:48
reality
23:49
of
23:49
this
23:49
solidarity
23:50
that
23:51
you
23:51
have
23:51
with
23:52
Jesus
23:52
the
23:53
suffering
23:53
servant.
23:55
This
23:55
should
23:55
be
23:56
massively
23:56
encouraging
23:57
to us
23:58
that the
23:59
Catholic
23:59
of our
23:59
salvation
24:00
also
24:00
suffered
24:01
and
24:02
sympathizes
24:02
with us
24:03
in our
24:04
suffering.
24:05
Secondly
24:06
let's
24:06
look at
24:06
the
24:06
nature
24:07
of our
24:08
solidarity
24:09
with
24:10
Jesus.
24:12
And
24:12
there's
24:12
three
24:12
sub
24:13
points
24:13
at
24:14
this
24:14
point.
24:16
Intimacy
24:17
dependence
24:18
and
24:19
confidence.
24:20
The
24:20
nature
24:21
of
24:21
our
24:21
solidarity.
24:27
And
24:27
we see
24:28
this
24:28
in
24:28
these
24:29
three
24:29
Old
24:30
Testament
24:31
quotations.
24:33
I
24:34
don't
24:34
know
24:34
the
24:34
exact
24:35
nature
24:35
of
24:35
when
24:36
Jesus
24:36
said
24:37
these
24:37
things
24:37
but
24:37
I
24:38
believe
24:38
it's
24:38
right
24:38
to
24:39
say
24:39
that
24:39
he
24:39
said
24:40
these
24:40
things.
24:42
Some
24:43
commentators
24:43
have
24:43
suggested
24:44
that
24:44
the
24:44
writer
24:44
of
24:44
Hebrews
24:44
is
24:45
saying
24:45
because
24:46
the
24:46
Old
24:46
Testament
24:47
was
24:47
inspired
24:47
by
24:48
the
24:48
Spirit
24:49
often
24:49
referred
24:50
to
24:50
as
24:50
the
24:50
Spirit
24:50
of
24:50
Christ
24:51
this
24:51
was
24:51
Jesus
24:51
as
24:52
he
24:52
said
24:53
it
24:53
then
24:53
I
24:55
would
24:55
like
24:56
to
24:56
suggest
24:56
I
24:56
think
24:56
it's
24:57
more
24:57
probable
24:57
that
24:58
Jesus
24:58
said
24:59
it
24:59
during
24:59
his
24:59
ministry
25:00
and
25:01
that
25:01
the
25:01
author
25:01
of
25:01
Hebrews
25:02
had
25:02
either
25:02
first
25:03
hand
25:03
heard
25:03
this
25:04
or
25:04
he
25:04
had
25:04
heard
25:04
it
25:05
told
25:05
that
25:06
Jesus
25:06
said
25:06
these
25:06
things
25:07
either
25:07
during
25:08
his
25:08
pre-death
25:10
ministry
25:10
or his
25:11
post-resurrection
25:12
ministry
25:13
that he
25:13
cited
25:14
the
25:14
Old
25:14
Testament
25:14
in
25:15
this
25:16
way
25:16
so
25:17
I
25:17
think
25:17
it's
25:18
right
25:18
to
25:18
look
25:18
at
25:19
it
25:19
in
25:19
that
25:19
way
25:20
and
25:20
the
25:20
first
25:21
thing
25:21
the
25:21
author
25:22
of
25:22
Hebrews
25:22
says
25:23
Jesus
25:23
said
25:24
I
25:25
will
25:25
tell
25:25
of
25:26
your
25:26
name
25:26
to
25:27
my
25:27
brothers
25:27
in
25:28
the
25:28
midst
25:29
of
25:29
the
25:29
congregation
25:30
I
25:31
will
25:31
sing
25:31
your
25:31
praise
25:32
and
25:33
here
25:33
he
25:33
is
25:33
quoting
25:34
from
25:34
Psalm
25:35

25:35
22
25:36
and

verse
25:37
22
25:38
let
25:38
me
25:38
invite
25:38
you

to
25:39
keep
25:39
a

marker
25:40
your

25:41
something
25:41
piece
25:41

paper
25:42
on

Hebrews

25:44
and
25:44
turn

with
25:45
me
25:45
to
25:45
Psalm
25:46
chapter
25:46
22
25:47
Jesus
26:03
takes
26:04
this
26:04
up
26:04
as
26:04
his
26:05
declaration
26:05
Jesus
26:07
says
26:07
I
26:08
Jesus
26:09
will
26:09
tell
26:10
of
26:11
God's
26:12
name
26:13
to
26:13
his
26:13
brothers
26:13
so
26:15
those
26:16
who
26:16
are
26:16
not
26:16
in
26:16
Christ
26:17
who
26:17
don't
26:17
share
26:18
this
26:18
intimacy
26:19
solidarity
26:20
with
26:20
Jesus
26:21
can
26:22
know
26:22
some
26:22
things
26:23
about
26:24
God
26:24
can
26:24
see
26:25
his
26:25
character
26:26
revealed
26:26
in
26:27
nature
26:27
but
26:28
can't
26:28
know
26:29
him
26:29
here
26:30
Jesus
26:30
says
26:31
he
26:31
will
26:31
speak
26:32
of
26:32
God
26:33
to
26:34
his
26:35
brothers
26:35
to
26:35
those
26:36
who
26:36
are
26:36
part
26:36
of
26:36
his
26:37
family
26:38
and
26:38
in
26:40
the
26:40
midst
26:40
of
26:41
the
26:41
congregation
26:41
those
26:42
who
26:42
are
26:42
called
26:43
together
26:43
by
26:44
Christ
26:44
the
26:45
church
26:45
he
26:46
will
26:46
sing
26:47
the
26:48
praise
26:48
!
26:49
of
26:49
God
26:50
this
26:51
is
26:51
all
26:52
incredibly
26:53
astounding
26:54
John
26:55
Calvin said
26:55
of this
26:56
text
26:56
this
26:57
teaching
26:57
is the
26:57
very
26:57
strongest
26:58
encouragement
26:59
to us
26:59
to bring
27:00
yet more
27:00
fervent
27:01
zeal
27:02
to the
27:02
praise
27:02
of God
27:03
when we
27:04
hear
27:04
that
27:04
Christ
27:05
leads
27:06
our
27:06
praise
27:07
and is
27:07
the
27:07
chief
27:08
conductor
27:08
of our
27:10
hymns
27:10
he's the
27:11
great
27:11
song
27:12
leader
27:13
as we
27:14
sing
27:14
songs
27:15
of
27:15
praise
27:16
to our
27:17
God
27:17
so we
27:17
get to
27:18
know
27:19
God
27:19
and
27:20
intimacy
27:21
with
27:21
the
27:22
king
27:22
of
27:23
all
27:23
the
27:23
world
27:24
because
27:24
of
27:25
the
27:25
work
27:25
that
27:25
Christ
27:25
has
27:26
done
27:26
and
27:26
us
27:26
being
27:27
found
27:27
in
27:28
him
27:29
now
27:31
we
27:31
are
27:31
often
27:32
far
27:32
too
27:32
unfamiliar
27:33
with
27:34
our
27:34
old
27:34
testament
27:35
and
27:36
so
27:37
I
27:37
would
27:37
like
27:37
to
27:37
believe
27:38
that
27:39
the
27:39
readers
27:40
the
27:40
original
27:40
readers
27:40
of
27:41
this
27:41
letter
27:41
immediately
27:42
went
27:43
on
27:43
to
27:43
think
27:43
about
27:44
the
27:44
rest
27:45
of
27:45
psalm
27:46
22
27:46
the
27:47
author
27:48
says
27:48
he
27:49
said
27:50
I
27:50
will
27:50
tell
27:50
of
27:50
your
27:50
name
27:50
to
27:51
my
27:51
brothers
27:51
in
27:51
the
27:51
congregation
27:52
I
27:52
will
27:52
sing
27:52
your
27:52
praise
27:53
and
27:53
the
27:53
song
27:54
kicks
27:54
off
27:55
in
27:55
their
27:55
head
27:55
many
27:56
of
27:56
us
27:56
do
27:56
that
27:56
think
27:57
in
27:57
songs
27:57
so you
27:58
give
27:58
a line
27:58
and
27:58
somebody
27:58
can
27:59
just
27:59
complete
27:59
it
27:59
for
28:00
you
28:00
I
28:01
would
28:01
imagine
28:01
that
28:01
they
28:02
were
28:02
doing
28:02
this
28:02
very
28:03
thing
28:03
so
28:04
look
28:04
at
28:04
verse
28:05
22
28:05
and
28:05
23
28:06
and
28:06
24
28:07
I
28:09
will
28:09
tell of
28:10
your
28:10
name
28:10
to
28:10
my
28:10
brothers
28:10
in
28:11
the
28:11
midst
28:11
of
28:11
the
28:11
congregation
28:12
I
28:12
will
28:13
praise
28:14
you
28:14
verse
28:15
23
28:15
you
28:16
who
28:16
fear
28:16
the
28:17
Lord
28:17
praise
28:18
him
28:18
all
28:19
you
28:19
offspring
28:19
of
28:20
Jacob
28:20
glorify
28:21
him
28:21
and
28:21
stand
28:22
in
28:22
awe
28:22
of
28:22
him
28:23
all
28:23
you
28:24
offspring
28:24
of
28:25
Israel
28:26
verse
28:27
24
28:28
for
28:29
he
28:29
has
28:29
not
28:30
despised
28:31
or
28:31
abhorred
28:32
the
28:32
affliction
28:33
of
28:34
the
28:34
affliction
28:35
and
28:35
he
28:35
has
28:36
not
28:36
hidden
28:36
his
28:37
face
28:37
from
28:37
him
28:37
but
28:37
he
28:38
has
28:38
heard
28:39
when
28:40
he
28:40
cried
28:40
to
28:40
him
28:40
so
28:43
in
28:43
the
28:44
midst
28:44
of
28:45
suffering
28:46
we
28:46
have
28:46
the
28:47
solidarity
28:47
with
28:48
Christ
28:48
in
28:48
our
28:49
intimacy
28:49
with
28:50
God
28:50
and
28:51
the
28:51
psalm
28:51
goes
28:51
on
28:52
to
28:52
say
28:52
he
28:54
has
28:54
not
28:54
turned
28:54
away
28:55
he
28:55
is
28:55
there
28:56
he
28:56
has
28:56
not
28:56
hidden
28:57
his
28:57
face
28:57
he
28:58
is
28:58
present
28:59
we
29:00
maintain
29:00
this
29:01
intimacy
29:02
in
29:03
the
29:03
midst
29:03
of
29:04
our
29:04
suffering
29:05
second
29:07
there's
29:07
a
29:07
solidarity
29:09
of
29:09
dependence
29:11
the
29:12
next
29:13
Old
29:13
Testament
29:13
quotation
29:14
found in
29:14
Hebrews
29:14
chapter
29:14
2
29:15
and
29:16
again
29:16
this
29:16
is
29:17
verse
29:17
13
29:17
I
29:18
will
29:18
put
29:19
my
29:19
trust
29:20
in
29:21
him
29:21
the
29:22
second
29:23
quotation
29:23
is
29:23
from
29:23
Isaiah
29:24
chapter
29:25
8
29:26
the
29:26
very
29:26
last
29:27
part
29:27
of
29:27
verse
29:28
17
29:29
it
29:30
might
29:31
benefit
29:31
you
29:31
to
29:31
be
29:31
there
29:31
you
29:32
don't
29:32
have
29:32
to
29:32
be
29:32
but
29:32
if
29:32
you'd
29:32
like
29:33
to
29:33
turn
29:33
to
29:33
Isaiah
29:33
chapter
29:34
8
29:34
it
29:35
could
29:35
be
29:35
a
29:35
help
29:36
to
29:36
you
29:36
Isaiah
29:39
chapter
29:39
8
29:39
is
29:40
a
29:40
rich
29:41
messianic
29:42
chapter
29:42
speaking
29:43
of
29:44
Christ
29:45
and
29:45
it's
29:46
placed
29:46
between
29:46
chapter
29:47
7
29:47
where
29:47
we
29:48
read
29:48
of
29:48
the
29:48
prophecy
29:48
of
29:49
the
29:49
Christ's
29:50
birth
29:50
Isaiah
29:50
chapter
29:51
7
29:51
verse
29:51
14
29:53
will
29:53
give
29:54
you
29:54
a
29:54
sign
29:54
behold
29:55
the
29:56
virgin
29:56
shall
29:56
conceive
29:57
and
29:57
bear
29:57
a
29:57
son
29:58
and
29:58
shall
29:58
call
29:58
his
29:59
name
29:59
Emmanuel
30:01
and
30:02
it's
30:03
bookended
30:03
by
30:04
chapter
30:04
9
30:05
where
30:05
we
30:05
learn
30:05
of
30:06
Christ's
30:06
names
30:07
these
30:07
things
30:07
are
30:08
likely
30:08
familiar
30:08
to
30:08
you
30:09
Isaiah
30:09
chapter
30:09
9
30:10
verse
30:10
6
30:11
for
30:12
to
30:12
us
30:12
a
30:12
child
30:12
is
30:13
born
30:13
to
30:14
us
30:14
a
30:14
son
30:14
is
30:15
given
30:15
and
30:15
the
30:15
government
30:16
shall
30:16
be
30:16
upon
30:16
his
30:17
shoulders
30:17
and
30:17
his
30:17
name
30:17
shall
30:18
be
30:18
called
30:18
wonderful
30:19
counselor
30:23
prince
30:24
of
30:25
peace
30:25
so
30:26
just
30:27
imagine
30:27
right
30:28
beleaguered
30:29
small
30:30
Hellenistic
30:31
Jewish
30:32
church
30:32
right
30:33
they've
30:33
got
30:33
these
30:33
scriptures
30:34
which
30:34
are
30:34
precious
30:35
to
30:35
them
30:35
and
30:36
the
30:36
writer
30:36
of
30:37
Hebrews
30:37
says
30:37
Jesus
30:38
quotes
30:39
from
30:39
Isaiah
30:40
chapter
30:40
8
30:41
this is
30:41
where
30:41
their
30:41
mind
30:41
goes
30:42
whoa
30:43
messianic
30:45
stuff
30:46
is
30:46
happening
30:46
in
30:46
Isaiah
30:47
7
30:47
8
30:47
and
30:48
in
30:49
to
30:50
9
30:50
but
30:52
interestingly
30:53
chapter
30:54
8
30:55
is
30:55
packed
30:55
full
30:56
of
30:56
messianic
30:56
language
30:56
and
30:57
it's
30:57
quoted
30:57
heavily
30:58
in
30:58
the
30:58
new
30:58
testament
30:58
to
30:59
speak
30:59
of
30:59
Jesus
30:59
Matthew
31:00
first
31:00
Peter
31:01
Romans
31:01
are
31:01
common
31:02
places
31:02
for
31:03
this
31:03
but
31:04
verse
31:04
17
31:05
does
31:05
not
31:06
specifically
31:06
refer
31:07
to
31:08
Christ
31:08
it's
31:09
a really
31:09
interesting
31:10
place
31:10
for
31:11
Jesus
31:11
to
31:11
quote
31:12
from
31:12
at
31:13
this
31:14
point
31:14
in
31:14
chapter
31:15
8
31:15
Isaiah's
31:17
prophecy
31:18
has
31:18
not
31:18
been
31:19
received
31:20
!
31:23
common
31:24
amongst
31:25
prophets
31:26
and
31:27
he
31:27
is
31:27
instructed
31:28
by
31:28
God
31:29
to
31:29
seal
31:30
it
31:30
in
31:30
verse
31:30
16
31:31
bind
31:32
it
31:32
up
31:32
and
31:33
then
31:34
Isaiah
31:34
states
31:35
in
31:35
verse
31:35
17
31:36
I
31:37
will
31:38
wait
31:38
for
31:38
the
31:38
Lord
31:39
who
31:40
is
31:40
hiding
31:40
his
31:40
face
31:41
from
31:41
the
31:41
house
31:41
of
31:42
Jacob
31:42
and
31:43
I
31:44
will
31:44
hope
31:45
in
31:46
him
31:46
this
31:47
is
31:47
the
31:47
interesting
31:48
thing
31:48
that
31:49
Jesus
31:49
quotes
31:50
Isaiah
31:51
saying
31:51
right
31:52
I
31:52
will
31:52
wait
31:53
till
31:53
the
31:53
time
31:54
when
31:55
God
31:55
no
31:55
longer
31:55
hides
31:56
his
31:56
face
31:56
and
31:58
begins
31:58
to
31:58
gather
31:59
his
31:59
people
31:59
and
32:00
I
32:00
will
32:01
hope
32:01
in
32:02
him
32:03
and
32:04
so
32:04
Jesus
32:05
depended
32:06
on
32:07
God
32:07
he
32:08
depended
32:08
on
32:08
God
32:09
in
32:09
the
32:09
same
32:09
way
32:09
that
32:10
we
32:10
need
32:10
to
32:10
depend
32:11
on
32:11
God
32:12
as
32:12
we
32:12
walk
32:13
in
32:13
this
32:13
world
32:14
when
32:15
Jesus
32:15
suffered
32:16
he
32:17
turned
32:17
in
32:18
faith
32:18
to
32:20
God
32:20
he
32:21
joins
32:22
us
32:22
in
32:22
that
32:22
we
32:23
have
32:23
solidarity
32:24
with
32:24
him
32:24
in
32:25
that
32:26
this
32:27
is what
32:27
the writer
32:27
of
32:27
Hebrews
32:28
is trying
32:28
to teach
32:28
us
32:29
yes
32:29
even
32:29
Jesus
32:30
who
32:31
was
32:31
God
32:32
incarnate
32:32
God
32:32
the
32:33
son
32:33
turned
32:34
to
32:34
God
32:34
the
32:34
father
32:35
in
32:35
dependence
32:35
as he
32:37
suffered
32:37
so we
32:39
have a
32:39
solidarity
32:39
of
32:40
dependence
32:40
third
32:42
we have
32:44
a
32:44
solidarity
32:45
of
32:45
confidence
32:46
solidarity
32:47
of
32:48
confidence
32:48
writer
32:49
of
32:49
Hebrews
32:49
says
32:50
this is
32:50
still
32:50
verse
32:50
13
32:51
and
32:51
again
32:51
behold
32:53
I
32:54
and the
32:55
children
32:55
God
32:56
has
32:56
given
32:57
me
32:57
this
32:58
final
32:59
quotation
32:59
is also
33:00
from
33:01
Isaiah
33:02
chapter
33:02
8
33:03
and
33:04
verse
33:04
18
33:05
that's
33:06
the very
33:06
next
33:06
verse
33:07
now
33:08
in
33:08
this
33:09
place
33:09
Isaiah
33:10
originally
33:11
said
33:12
behold
33:13
I
33:13
and
33:14
the
33:14
children
33:14
God
33:14
has
33:14
given
33:15
me
33:15
he's
33:16
referring
33:16
to
33:17
his
33:17
biological
33:18
sons
33:19
so he
33:20
says
33:20
behold
33:21
I
33:21
and
33:21
the
33:21
children
33:22
the
33:22
Lord
33:22
has
33:22
given
33:22
me
33:22
are
33:23
signs
33:24
and
33:24
portents
33:24
or you
33:25
could
33:25
think
33:25
of
33:25
that
33:25
as
33:26
warnings
33:26
so
33:26
signs
33:27
and
33:28
warnings
33:28
in
33:29
Israel
33:29
from
33:30
the
33:30
Lord
33:30
of
33:30
hosts
33:31
who
33:31
dwells
33:32
on
33:33
Mount
33:33
Zion
33:33
so
33:35
again
33:35
a
33:35
very
33:36
interesting
33:36
place
33:37
and
33:38
our
33:38
non
33:40
Jewish
33:40
likely
33:41
very
33:42
unfamiliar
33:43
minds
33:44
with
33:44
the
33:44
book
33:44
of
33:45
Isaiah
33:45
go
33:45
what
33:46
do
33:46
we
33:46
do
33:46
with
33:46
that
33:47
but
33:48
remember
33:49
this
33:49
original
33:49
audience
33:50
and
33:50
where
33:50
their
33:51
minds
33:51
I
33:51
believe
33:52
would
33:52
have
33:53
gone
33:54
so
33:55
Isaiah
33:55
is
33:55
talking
33:56
about
33:56
his
33:56
biological
33:57
children
33:57
he
33:58
had
33:58
two
33:59
sons
33:59
I'm
33:59
going
34:00
to
34:00
try
34:00
to
34:00
pronounce
34:00
their
34:00
names
34:01
for
34:01
you
34:01
those
34:03
of
34:03
you
34:03
who
34:03
lived
34:03
in
34:03
Israel
34:04
don't
34:04
make
34:04
fun
34:04
of
34:04
me
34:04
his
34:07
first
34:07
son
34:07
was
34:08
named
34:08
!
34:08
Meher
34:10
Shalah
34:10
Hashbaz
34:11
or
34:12
something
34:12
like
34:13
that
34:13
which
34:14
means
34:15
the
34:16
spoil
34:17
speeds
34:18
the
34:18
prey
34:19
hastes
34:20
about
34:21
that
34:21
for a
34:21
name
34:21
the
34:22
spoil
34:23
speeds
34:24
the
34:24
prey
34:24
haste
34:25
and
34:25
God
34:26
instructed
34:26
him
34:26
to
34:26
name
34:26
his
34:27
son
34:27
this
34:27
because
34:28
he
34:28
was
34:28
speaking
34:29
of
34:29
the
34:29
speedy
34:30
removal
34:30
of
34:30
Syria
34:31
and
34:31
Israel
34:32
as
34:32
enemies
34:32
of
34:33
Judah
34:33
it
34:33
was
34:34
meant
34:34
to
34:34
mean
34:34
something
34:35
as
34:35
he
34:35
was
34:35
prophesying
34:36
to
34:37
the
34:37
nation
34:37
that
34:38
there
34:38
would
34:38
be
34:38
a
34:39
removal
34:39
from
34:40
the
34:40
land
34:40
the
34:42
second
34:42
son
34:42
was
34:42
named
34:43
Shear
34:45
Jeshub
34:46
congratulate me
34:48
later if I
34:48
did it
34:48
right
34:48
which
34:50
means
34:50
a
34:51
remnant
34:52
shall
34:53
return
34:54
so
34:56
there's
34:56
going to
34:56
be a
34:56
removal
34:56
but
34:58
there's
34:58
going to
34:58
be
34:58
some
34:58
that
34:59
will
34:59
return
34:59
and
35:01
then
35:02
Isaiah's
35:03
name
35:03
means
35:05
Yahweh
35:06
is
35:07
salvation
35:09
so
35:11
imagine
35:12
if I
35:12
think
35:13
these
35:13
people
35:13
would
35:13
have
35:13
seen
35:14
in
35:14
their
35:14
minds
35:15
Isaiah
35:16
standing
35:17
between
35:17
his
35:18
two
35:18
sons
35:18
one
35:20
hand
35:20
on
35:20
one
35:20
hand
35:20
on
35:21
the
35:21
other
35:22
hand
35:22
on
35:22
the
35:22
other
35:22
son's
35:23
shoulder
35:23
stating
35:25
behold
35:26
I
35:28
and
35:28
the
35:28
children
35:28
God
35:29
has
35:29
given
35:29
me
35:29
right
35:30
I
35:32
Yahweh
35:33
is
35:33
salvation
35:34
and
35:34
the
35:35
spoil
35:35
speeds
35:35
the
35:35
prey
35:35
haste
35:36
and
35:36
a
35:37
remnant
35:37
shall
35:37
return
35:39
and
35:41
this
35:41
is
35:42
what
35:42
Jesus
35:42
quotes
35:42
Jesus
35:45
imagine
35:46
him
35:47
standing
35:47
between
35:47
us
35:48
placing
35:49
his
35:49
hands
35:50
on
35:50
our
35:50
shoulders
35:50
and
35:51
declaring
35:52
behold
35:53
I
35:53
and
35:54
the
35:54
children
35:54
God
35:55
has
35:56
given
35:56
me
35:57
we
35:59
are
35:59
going
35:59
to
35:59
be
35:59
okay
36:00
Isaiah
36:03
had
36:03
this
36:04
immovable
36:05
confidence
36:06
in who
36:06
God
36:07
is
36:08
he
36:08
had
36:08
promised
36:09
while
36:10
I'm
36:10
going
36:10
to
36:10
punish
36:11
I
36:11
will
36:12
return
36:12
I
36:12
will
36:13
restore
36:14
and
36:15
Jesus
36:15
picks
36:15
up
36:16
this
36:16
language
36:17
and
36:17
makes
36:17
it
36:17
his
36:18
for
36:19
us
36:19
today
36:20
we're
36:22
going
36:22
to
36:22
be
36:22
okay
36:22
we
36:23
will
36:23
weather
36:23
the
36:24
storm
36:24
of
36:24
this
36:25
life
36:25
because
36:26
we
36:26
have
36:26
a
36:27
confident
36:27
captain
36:28
of
36:29
our
36:29
salvation
36:30
he
36:31
stands
36:32
in the
36:32
midst
36:32
of
36:33
us
36:33
and
36:33
he
36:33
says
36:33
look
36:34
it's
36:35
all
36:35
going
36:35
to
36:35
be
36:35
okay
36:36
Samuel
36:40
Rutherford
36:40
Puritan
36:42
I like
36:42
once
36:44
said
36:44
your
36:45
heart
36:45
and I
36:45
think
36:45
he
36:46
means
36:47
your
36:47
feelings
36:47
your
36:48
inclinations
36:48
he
36:50
said
36:50
your
36:50
heart
36:50
is
36:51
not
36:51
the
36:51
compass
36:52
Christ
36:53
saileth
36:54
by
36:54
praise
36:55
God
36:56
so
36:57
in
36:57
the
36:57
midst
36:57
of
36:57
our
36:57
suffering
36:58
in
36:58
the
36:58
midst
36:59
of
36:59
the
36:59
way
36:59
we
36:59
feel
37:00
as
37:00
our
37:01
confidence
37:01
is
37:02
shaken
37:02
we
37:02
can
37:03
remember
37:03
Christ
37:04
and we
37:06
can
37:06
remember
37:07
his
37:07
confidence
37:08
and
37:09
remember
37:09
that
37:09
we're
37:09
unified
37:10
with
37:11
him
37:12
so
37:13
there's
37:14
a
37:14
reality
37:14
of
37:14
our
37:14
solidarity
37:15
with
37:15
Jesus
37:15
that's
37:17
a
37:17
bit
37:17
about
37:18
the
37:18
nature
37:18
of
37:19
our
37:19
solidarity
37:19
with
37:21
Jesus
37:21
lastly
37:22
let's
37:22
consider
37:23
the
37:23
deliverance
37:24
of
37:25
our
37:25
solidarity
37:25
with
37:26
Jesus
37:26
and
37:26
we'll
37:26
do
37:27
this
37:27
briefly
37:27
verse 14
37:30
down
37:30
through
37:30
16
37:31
since
37:32
therefore
37:32
the
37:33
children
37:33
share
37:33
in
37:34
flesh
37:34
and
37:34
blood
37:34
he
37:35
himself
37:36
likewise
37:36
partook
37:37
of the
37:37
same
37:38
things
37:39
right
37:39
he
37:39
became
37:40
flesh
37:41
and
37:41
blood
37:42
that
37:42
through
37:43
death
37:43
he
37:43
might
37:43
destroy
37:44
the
37:44
one
37:45
who
37:45
has
37:45
the
37:45
power
37:46
of
37:46
death
37:46
that
37:46
is
37:47
the
37:48
devil
37:48
right
37:48
that
37:49
in
37:50
his
37:50
death
37:50
he
37:51
put
37:51
death
37:51
to
37:52
death
37:52
right
37:52
he
37:53
put
37:53
it
37:53
away
37:54
from
37:54
those
37:55
who
37:55
are
37:55
in
37:56
him
37:57
and
37:58
deliver
38:00
all
38:00
those
38:01
who
38:01
through
38:01
fear
38:02
of
38:02
death
38:02
are
38:03
subject
38:03
to
38:03
lifelong
38:04
!
38:05
slavery
38:05
for
38:05
surely
38:06
it
38:06
is not
38:06
the
38:06
angels
38:07
that he
38:07
helps
38:07
but
38:07
he
38:07
helps
38:08
the
38:08
offspring
38:08
of
38:09
Abraham
38:09
humans
38:10
that's
38:11
what
38:11
he's
38:11
suggesting
38:12
here
38:12
all
38:14
of our
38:14
suffering
38:14
whatever
38:15
its
38:15
variety
38:16
or
38:16
shape
38:17
should
38:18
remind
38:19
us
38:19
of our
38:19
coming
38:20
death
38:20
I
38:21
think
38:21
it
38:21
reminds
38:22
us
38:22
of
38:22
it
38:22
whether
38:22
or
38:23
not
38:23
we
38:23
recognize
38:23
it
38:24
reminds
38:24
us
38:25
of
38:25
it
38:25
or
38:25
not
38:25
right
38:26
it
38:26
works
38:28
inside
38:28
of our
38:29
conscience
38:29
to say
38:29
someday
38:30
right
38:31
apart
38:32
from
38:32
Christ
38:32
your
38:34
eternal
38:34
state
38:35
is
38:35
death
38:36
this
38:37
happened
38:38
in the
38:38
fall
38:38
Genesis
38:38
chapter
38:39
3
38:39
right
38:40
after
38:41
Adam
38:42
eats
38:42
of the
38:42
fruit
38:43
God
38:43
says
38:43
to
38:44
Adam
38:44
because
38:45
you
38:45
have
38:45
listened
38:45
to
38:45
the
38:45
voice
38:45
of
38:46
your
38:46
wife
38:46

38:46
have
38:46
eaten

!
38:46
of
38:46
the
38:47
tree
38:47
which
38:47
I
38:47
commanded
38:48
you
38:48
you
38:48
shall
38:49

38:49
curses

the
38:51

of
38:51
you
38:51
in
38:53
pain
38:53
you
38:53
shall
38:53
eat
38:54
of
38:54
it
38:54
all
38:54
the
38:54
days
38:54
of
38:54
your
38:54
life
38:55
thorns
38:55
and
38:56
thistles
38:56
it
38:56
shall
38:56
bring
38:57
forth
38:57
for
38:57
you
38:57
and
38:58
you
38:58
shall
38:58
eat
38:58
the
38:59
plants
38:59
of
39:00
the
39:00
field
39:00

is
39:02
anybody
39:02
doing
39:02
yard work
39:03
right
39:03
now
39:03
this
39:03
ought
39:03
to
39:03
really
39:04
ring
39:04
for
39:04
us

39:06
is
39:06
so
39:06
!
39:06
hard

39:07
pretty
39:07
pollen
39:09
is
39:09
a
39:10
great
39:10
curse
39:11
and
39:12
it's
39:12
because
39:12
of
39:12
sin
39:12
that
39:13
this
39:13
is
39:13
happening
39:14
ask
39:17
each
39:17
other
39:17
that
39:17
question
39:18
sometimes
39:18
you

know
39:19
why
39:19
you're
39:19
sneezing
39:19
somebody
39:20
says
39:20
pollen
39:20
nope
39:21
it's
39:21
because
39:21
of
39:21
sin
39:21
the
39:23
fall
39:23
the
39:23
fall
39:24
has
39:24
brought

this
39:24
upon
39:25
us
39:25
verse
39:26
19
39:26
by
39:26
the
39:26
sweat
39:27
of
39:27
your
39:27
face

39:37
was
39:37
brought
39:37
into
39:37
the
39:38
world
39:38
by
39:39
the
39:39
fall
39:39
we
39:40
may
39:40
not
39:40
always
39:41
be
39:41
as
39:41
cognizant
39:42
of
39:42
this
39:42
as
39:42
we
39:43
should
39:43
be
39:43
but
39:44
at
39:45
our
39:45
core
39:46
too
39:47
many
39:47
of
39:47
us
39:48
are
39:48
gripped
39:49
by
39:49
death
39:50
the
39:50
writer
39:51
of
39:51
Hebrews
39:51
actually
39:52
says
39:52
enslaved
39:54
to
39:55
it
39:55
we're
39:56
gripped
39:56
by
39:57
death
39:58
but
39:59
Christians
39:59
beloved
40:00
are not
40:00
those
40:01
who
40:01
should
40:01
fear
40:01
death
40:02
because
40:03
we
40:03
have
40:03
been
40:03
liberated
40:04
from
40:04
it
40:05
by
40:05
Christ
40:06
our
40:08
suffering
40:09
speaks
40:10
not
40:10
to
40:10
death
40:11
but
40:12
to
40:12
eternal
40:13
!
40:14
Praise
40:15
God!
40:15
Our
40:15
suffering
40:16
now
40:17
and
40:17
the
40:17
way
40:17
in
40:18
which
40:18
we
40:18
suffer
40:19
speaks
40:20
to
40:20
the
40:21
way
40:21
we'll
40:21
be
40:22
rewarded
40:22
later
40:23
to
40:23
our
40:24
eternal
40:24
glory
40:25
Paul
40:25
wrote
40:25
in
40:25
1
40:25
Corinthians
40:26
chapter
40:26
15
40:27
beginning
40:28
in
40:28
verse
40:28
55
40:28
O
40:29
death
40:29
where
40:29
is
40:29
your
40:29
victory
40:30
O
40:30
death
40:31
where
40:31
is
40:31
your
40:32
sting
40:32
the
40:34
sting
40:34
of
40:34
death
40:35
is
40:35
sin
40:36
and
40:36
the
40:37
power
40:37
of
40:37
sin
40:37
is
40:38
the
40:38
law
40:39
but
40:39
thanks
40:40
be
40:40
to
40:40
God
40:40
who
40:40
gives
40:41
us
40:41
the
40:41
victory
40:41
through
40:42
our
40:42
Lord
40:42
Jesus
40:43
Christ
40:44
Thomas
40:47
Watson
40:47
this is on
40:49
your
40:49
bulletin
40:49
so I have
40:50
to
40:50
reference
40:50
it
40:50
once
40:51
wrote
40:51
when
40:51
God
40:52
lays
40:52
men
40:53
upon
40:53
their
40:53
backs
40:54
then
40:55
they
40:55
look
40:55
up
40:55
to
40:57
heaven
40:57
and
40:59
so
40:59
we're
40:59
meant
40:59
to
41:00
be
41:00
turned
41:00
and
41:01
to
41:01
rejoice
41:02
in
41:03
our
41:03
Savior
41:04
to
41:05
recognize
41:06
we have
41:06
this
41:07
solidarity
41:07
with
41:08
Jesus
41:08
and
41:08
therefore
41:09
we have
41:09
a
41:09
deliverance
41:10
from
41:11
the
41:12
death
41:12
of this
41:14
world
41:14
I did
41:16
this with
41:16
you a
41:16
couple
41:16
of weeks
41:17
ago
41:17
but I
41:17
want to
41:17
do it
41:17
again
41:18
and
41:18
just
41:18
in
41:18
brief
41:19
but
41:19
this
41:19
quick
41:19
tour
41:20
through
41:21
the
41:22
book
41:22
of
41:22
Hebrews
41:22
as
41:22
this
41:23
writer
41:23
is
41:23
trying
41:24
to
41:24
make
41:24
this
41:24
case
41:25
to
41:25
his
41:25
audience
41:26
that
41:27
they
41:27
once
41:28
had
41:29
a
41:29
joy
41:29
unshakable
41:31
immovable
41:31
joy
41:32
in
41:32
Christ
41:33
that
41:33
Moses
41:34
did
41:35
and
41:35
that
41:36
Jesus
41:36
himself
41:36
had
41:37
this
41:37
unshakable
41:38
confidence
41:39
in the
41:40
deliverance
41:40
that
41:41
is
41:41
to
41:41
come
41:41
so
41:42
turn
41:42
with
41:42
me
41:42
if
41:42
you
41:42
will
41:42
to
41:42
Hebrews
41:43
chapter
41:43
10
41:43
and
41:44
verse
41:44
32
41:45
the
41:50
writer
41:50
of
41:50
Hebrews
41:51
says
41:51
but
41:51
recall
41:51
the
41:52
former
41:52
days
41:52
when
41:53
after
41:53
you
41:53
were
41:54
enlightened
41:54
came
41:55
to
41:55
faith
41:55
in
41:55
Christ
41:55
you
41:56
endured
41:56
a
41:57
hard
41:57
struggle
41:57
with
41:57
sufferings
41:58
sometimes
41:59
being
41:59
publicly
41:59
exposed
42:00
to
42:00
reproach
42:01
and
42:01
affliction
42:02
so
42:02
sometimes
42:02
you
42:03
suffered
42:03
and
42:05
sometimes
42:06
being
42:06
partners
42:06
with
42:07
those
42:07
so
42:07
treated
42:08
how
42:08
how
42:09
were
42:09
they
42:09
partners
42:09
with
42:09
them
42:10
for
42:10
they
42:10
had
42:11
compassion
42:11
on
42:11
those
42:12
in
42:12
prison
42:12
and
42:13
as
42:14
they're
42:14
having
42:14
compassion
42:14
on
42:14
them
42:15
as
42:15
they're
42:15
going
42:15
to
42:15
serve
42:15
them
42:16
as
42:16
they're
42:16
in
42:16
prison
42:16
for
42:16
their
42:17
faith
42:17
you
42:18
joyfully
42:18
!
42:18
What
42:35
strange
42:36
people
42:36
what
42:37
strange
42:38
anti-world
42:39
people
42:39
that in
42:40
the midst
42:41
of their
42:41
suffering
42:42
they invited
42:43
more
42:43
suffering
42:44
by going
42:44
and serving
42:45
the saints
42:45
being obedient
42:46
to the call
42:46
of Christ
42:47
to love
42:48
the family
42:48
of God
42:49
and then
42:50
they saw
42:51
the loss
42:52
of their
42:52
stuff
42:52
as gain
42:53
they said
42:54
this will
42:55
be for
42:55
eternal
42:55
reward
42:56
and they
42:56
joyfully
42:57
accepted
42:58
the plundering
42:59
of their
43:00
property
43:00
beloved
43:02
we are
43:02
meant
43:02
to be
43:03
weird
43:03
in this
43:04
way
43:04
Hebrews
43:06
chapter
43:06
11
43:06
verse
43:07
24
43:07
by faith
43:11
Moses
43:12
when he
43:13
was grown
43:14
up
43:14
refused
43:15
to be
43:15
called
43:15
the son
43:16
of
43:17
Pharaoh's
43:18
daughter
43:18
he was
43:18
an
43:18
Egyptian
43:19
prince
43:20
choosing
43:20
rather
43:21
to be
43:22
mistreated
43:22
with the
43:22
people
43:23
of God
43:23
than to
43:24
enjoy
43:24
the
43:25
fleeting
43:26
pleasures
43:27
of sin
43:28
fleeting
43:28
passing
43:29
dust
43:30
in the
43:31
wind
43:31
he
43:32
considered
43:33
the
43:34
reproach
43:35
of
43:36
Christ
43:37
and I
43:37
love that
43:37
the author
43:38
of Hebrews
43:38
does this
43:38
here
43:38
right
43:39
because
43:39
what
43:39
was
43:39
Moses
43:39
doing
43:40
even
43:40
back
43:40
then
43:41
he
43:41
was
43:41
sharing
43:42
in the
43:42
afflictions
43:43
of
43:43
Christ
43:44
the
43:44
reproach
43:45
of
43:45
Christ
43:46
greater
43:47
wealth
43:48
than the
43:49
treasures
43:49
of
43:49
Egypt
43:49
for
43:50
he
43:50
was
43:50
looking
43:51
to
43:52
the
43:52
reward
43:52
he
43:55
goes
43:55
on to
43:55
make
43:55
the
43:55
case
43:56
from
43:58
Jesus'
43:58
living
43:59
Hebrews
43:59
chapter
43:59
12
44:00
verse
44:00
1
44:00
and
44:00
2
44:00
therefore
44:02
since we
44:02
are
44:02
surrounded
44:02
by so
44:03
great
44:03
a
44:03
cloud
44:03
of
44:03
witnesses
44:04
all
44:04
these
44:04
people
44:04
of
44:04
faith
44:05
that
44:05
he
44:05
mentioned
44:05
in
44:05
chapter
44:05
11
44:06
let us
44:06
also
44:07
lay
44:07
aside
44:07
every
44:08
weight
44:08
and
44:08
sin
44:08
which
44:09
clings
44:09
so
44:09
closely
44:09
and
44:10
let
44:11
us
44:11
run
44:11
with
44:11
endurance
44:11
the
44:12
race
44:12
that
44:12
is
44:12
set
44:12
before
44:12
us
44:13
looking
44:14
to
44:14
Jesus
44:15
here's
44:15
the
44:15
language
44:15
again
44:16
the
44:16
founder
44:17
the
44:17
captain
44:18
and
44:19
perfecter
44:20
of
44:20
our
44:20
faith
44:21
who
44:22
for
44:22
the
44:22
joy
44:23
that
44:23
was
44:23
set
44:23
before
44:23
him
44:24
endured
44:30
so
44:31
for
44:31
greater
44:31
joy
44:32
for
44:32
greater
44:32
reward
44:33
Christ
44:34
himself
44:35
set
44:35
for
44:35
us
44:36
as
44:36
our
44:37
captain
44:37
as
44:38
the
44:39
example
44:39
for
44:40
us
44:40
suffered
44:42
for
44:42
something
44:43
greater
44:43
and
44:45
then
44:45
lastly
44:46
in
44:46
kind
44:46
of
44:46
the
44:46
call
44:47
to
44:47
us
44:47
the
44:48
author
44:48
of
44:48
Hebrews
44:49
makes
44:49
chapter
44:50
13
44:50
verse
44:50
12
44:51
through
44:51
14
44:51
so
44:53
Jesus
44:53
also
44:54
suffered
44:54
outside
44:55
the
44:55
gate
44:55
in order
44:55
to
44:56
sanctify
44:56
the
44:56
people
44:57
through
44:57
his
44:57
own
44:58
blood
44:58
therefore
44:59
let
45:00
us
45:00
go to
45:00
him
45:01
outside
45:01
the
45:01
camp
45:02
and
45:02
bear
45:02
the
45:02
reproach
45:03
he
45:03
endured
45:04
for
45:06
here
45:06
we
45:06
have
45:06
no
45:07
lasting
45:08
city
45:09
right
45:09
it's
45:09
a
45:09
fleeting
45:09
city
45:10
it said
45:10
we
45:10
have
45:11
no
45:11
lasting
45:11
city
45:12
but
45:13
we
45:13
seek
45:14
the
45:14
city
45:14
that
45:15
is
45:15
to
45:16
come
45:16
and
45:17
we
45:18
cry
45:18
how
45:18
long
45:19
do
45:19
we
45:19
see
45:19
our
45:19
home
45:19
come
45:20
down
45:20
from
45:20
the
45:22
sky
45:22
this
45:22
is
45:22
what
45:23
we
45:23
long
45:24
for
45:24
so
45:25
there's
45:25
a
45:25
reality
45:26
of
45:26
our
45:26
solidarity
45:26
with
45:27
Jesus
45:27
there's
45:28
a
45:29
precious
45:29
nature
45:30
of
45:31
our
45:31
solidarity
45:31
with
45:32
Jesus
45:32
and
45:33
there's
45:33
a
45:33
deliverance
45:34
now
45:35
and
45:36
forever
45:36
that
45:36
awaits
45:37
us
45:37
because
45:38
of
45:38
our
45:38
solidarity
45:39
with
45:40
Jesus
45:41
this
45:42
is
45:42
why
45:42
the
45:43
heidelberg
45:44
catechism
45:45
begins
45:46
what
45:47
is
45:47
what
45:47
is
45:47
your
45:47
only
45:48
comfort
45:48
in
45:49
life
45:49
and
45:50
death
45:51
what
45:52
is
45:53
your
45:53
only
45:53
comfort
45:53
in
45:55
life
45:55
and
45:57
death
45:57
and
45:58
this
45:58
is
45:59
the
45:59
answer
45:59
we're
46:00
teaching
46:00
right now
46:01
our
46:01
children
46:01
an
46:01
abbreviated
46:02
version
46:02
of
46:02
this
46:02
but
46:03
here's
46:03
the
46:03
full
46:03
answer
46:03
from
46:04
the
46:05
heidelberg
46:05
catechism
46:05
that
46:06
I
46:06
am
46:06
not
46:06
my
46:07
own
46:07
but
46:08
belong
46:09
body
46:10
and
46:10
soul
46:10
in
46:11
life
46:11
and
46:12
in
46:12
death
46:12
to
46:13
my
46:13
faithful
46:14
savior
46:14
jesus
46:15
christ
46:16
he
46:17
has
46:17
fully
46:17
paid
46:18
for
46:18
all
46:18
my
46:18
sins
46:19
with
46:19
his
46:19
precious
46:19
blood
46:20
and
46:20
has
46:20
set
46:20
me
46:20
free
46:21
from
46:21
the
46:21
tyranny
46:22
of
46:23
the
46:23
devil
46:23
he
46:24
also
46:24
watches
46:25
over
46:25
me
46:25
in
46:25
such
46:26
a
46:26
way
46:26
that
46:26
not
46:26
a
46:26
hair
46:27
can
46:27
fall
46:27
for
46:27
my
46:27
head
46:28
without
46:28
the
46:29
will
46:29
of
46:29
my
46:29
father
46:30
in
46:30
heaven
46:30
in
46:31
fact
46:31
all
46:32
things
46:32
must
46:33
work
46:34
together
46:34
for
46:35
my
46:35
salvation
46:35
because
46:37
I
46:37
belong
46:38
to
46:38
him
46:38
Christ
46:39
by
46:39
his
46:39
holy
46:40
spirit
46:40
assures
46:41
me
46:44
willing
46:45
and
46:45
ready
46:45
from
46:46
now
46:46
on
46:46
to
46:47
live
46:47
for
46:48
him
46:49
let's
46:50
pray
46:50
together
