Welcome to NECF Sermons. Each message here is
0:06
designed to uplift and strengthen you in your
0:09
walk with God. Don't miss out. Stay with us until
0:13
the end for a rewarding experience. Let's dive
0:17
right in. Luke 24, everybody. Verse 47. Luke
0:27
24, verse 47, everybody. You see, all the subject
0:34
of greater works cannot be a reality without
0:38
the finished works of Jesus. Hallelujah. Greater
0:42
works are predicated upon what Christ has done.
0:45
Amen. In fact, let me put it this way. Not only
0:48
what Christ has done, but all that Christ has
0:51
done. Praise God. Not some of the things he has
0:55
done. Not one or two things that he has done.
0:59
But what? But all the things. Christ has what?
1:03
Done. Faith for the believer is the product of
1:07
the finished works. What Christ has done. Hallelujah.
1:10
Praise God. So every time we affirm that we see
1:14
signs, wonders, and miracles regularly in our
1:18
meetings are a product of what? All that Christ
1:22
has what? Has done. Praise God. Hallelujah. Why
1:27
you are a believer, why you can boldly say, I
1:30
am born again, and I have the Spirit of God in
1:33
me, is because of all that Christ has what? Has
1:37
done. So if we remove what Christ has done, there
1:42
is no believing, if there is any word like that.
1:45
There is nothing like that. Every one of us will
1:48
just be unbelievers, living our lives in darkness.
1:55
But you see, as a product of what he has done,
1:57
the scripture says we have been delivered from
2:00
the kingdom of darkness and translated into the
2:05
kingdom of his dear son, the place of light.
2:08
First Thessalonians, we say we are the children
2:10
of light. We are not the children of night again.
2:13
Hallelujah. What Christ has done has brought
2:16
us into light. Praise God. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
2:21
Say I am a product. I am a product. I am an evidence
2:25
of all that Christ has done. And it's my reality.
2:30
Glory to Jesus. Glory to Jesus. Luke 24, verse
2:35
47. The topic that we will have is just an introduction.
2:42
Because I've been looking at how we connect it
2:44
to what is coming ahead of us. But it's just
2:45
an introduction. Amen. The believer's authority
2:48
in the name of Jesus. The believer's authority
2:52
in what? In the name of what? Jesus. The believer's
3:01
authority in the name of Jesus. Is it a name
3:06
that we just shout it? When the boss want to,
3:09
you know, just slides on the road. When you are
3:13
inside the plane and then there's a turbulence.
3:16
Is it the name you say? Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,
3:18
Jesus. In fact, some people ask Nazareth. Jesus
3:21
Christ of Nazareth. Because if they say Jesus,
3:25
it's like the thing will not carry power. Say
3:28
Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Yes, they have to specify
3:33
it. Blood of Jesus, blood of Jesus, blood of
3:39
Jesus, blood of Jesus, blood of Jesus. Jesus,
3:41
oh Jesus. I don't know whether in Kenya they
3:45
call it that way, but in Nigeria, they will call
3:48
it in high tone, middle tone, low tone. Is it
3:55
actually the calling and then the naming of the
3:58
name that is the reality for the believer? Or
4:01
there is much more the believer needs to know.
4:04
Amen. So that the believer can be able to stand
4:07
in the place of that knowledge and operate. Praise
4:12
God. So the team is what? The believer's authority
4:16
in what? In the name of who? Of Jesus. Say, I
4:22
have the name. Say, I have the name. Say, I am
4:26
in the name of Jesus. Hallelujah. Glory to God.
4:32
So Luke 24, everybody verse 47. Okay. And that
4:39
repentance and remission of sins, Shall be preached.
4:44
In whose name? In his name among what? All nations
4:49
beginning at what? Jerusalem. However let's just
4:52
retrace back. Right? To verse 30. Verse 36. Let's
5:02
retrace back to 36. Amen. And as they spoke,
5:09
Jesus himself stood in the midst of them and
5:12
said unto them, do what? Peace be unto you. This
5:15
is after resurrection now. Amen? Yes, so this
5:19
appearance is after resurrection. Hallelujah.
5:25
If somebody is sleeping beside you, please ask
5:27
the ushers to bring water. Give the person water
5:30
to drink. Were you flying in the night? That
5:41
was a joke. But give them water to drink. Amen.
5:47
Praise God. But they were terrified and affrighted.
5:51
And suppose that they had seen a what? They had
5:55
seen a what? Spirit. A ghost. And he said unto
6:00
them, why are ye troubled? And why do thoughts
6:03
arise in your hearts? He has perceived it. Is
6:07
it really Jesus? Are you sure this is Jesus?
6:09
Is it a shadow? No, I don't think this is rain.
6:12
Remember, somebody said, no, but he told us he
6:14
will be raised in the third day. He said, no,
6:16
no, I don't think. We have not seen. At least
6:17
there should be something miraculous. The clouds
6:19
will have gathered. Rain will have fell. We'll
6:21
have had thunders. You know, we'll have seen
6:22
appearance of angels everywhere. And this is
6:24
Jesus we are talking about. So how is it that?
6:28
So some could be talking like that in their hearts.
6:31
And he has perceived that thought. And he said,
6:33
why are you troubled? And why do your thoughts
6:38
arise? Why do your thoughts arise in your heart?
6:40
Verse 39. Behold my what? My hands and my feet.
6:45
That it is I. What? Myself. Hallelujah. Handle
6:51
me. And see. For a spirit has not what? Flesh
6:57
and what? And bones as ye see me what? Have.
7:01
So Jesus came. He had flesh. He had what? He
7:06
had bones. So what Christ was already doing,
7:11
he was addressing the thought in where? In their
7:14
hearts. But in fact, this is not even why Christ
7:18
wants to address the thought where? In their
7:20
hearts. There's a greater reason why he needs
7:22
to address that thought. Hallelujah. Because
7:25
already he can perceive unbelief. Amen. Good
7:29
now. 30. And when he had thus spoken, he showed
7:35
them his hands and his words. And while they
7:38
yet believed not. Can you see? Come on now. Pastor
7:46
TK told me he will come back again. And he has
7:50
appeared. Is this for me to believe him or to
7:53
doubt him? To believe him. He has told me, I
7:57
have bones. Check it. In fact, there is flesh.
8:01
Check it. And still I am what? I am not agreeing
8:06
that he is the one. Don't worry. Pastor TK is
8:10
not leaving now. He is here. See now what he
8:14
said. Verse 42. Verse 41. And while they yet
8:19
believe not for joy. Can you see? What were they
8:23
supposed to be doing? What were they supposed
8:26
to be doing? They should be rejoicing. Glory!
8:30
Jesus has risen again. What he told us is now
8:36
being fulfilled and it's a reality. But now,
8:40
see now. And one that he said unto them, do you
8:44
have any what? Me, that's our second evidence.
8:48
If he was a spirit or what? Or he has applied
8:53
in body, he has appeared in body with bones and
8:55
with flesh. You know that thing? There was a
8:59
boy that passed away a long time in our area.
9:01
We call him Gigi. Gigi in Hausa means grandfather.
9:06
So the boy is a small boy, 8 years, 9 years,
9:08
but they call him grandfather. He does things
9:10
like an elderly person. Right? So you see him
9:13
quiet. He just does things like an elderly person.
9:17
So he passed away. They buried him around an
9:20
area in the house. Every night that the grandmother
9:26
would go and put food on the grave, that he comes
9:29
out in the night to eat. If you are from Africa,
9:31
you will believe some of this or you have heard
9:33
some of these things. That he comes out and then
9:36
eats the food. I've never seen where they drop
9:39
the food. But they told us that in the morning
9:42
the plates are empty. That's what they told us.
9:47
I announce to you, they don't come out and eat.
9:52
Are you hearing what I'm saying? I announce to
9:54
you, they don't what? They don't come out and
9:57
what? And eat. Dogs must have eaten that food.
10:03
Something have finished that food. You see? Jesus
10:10
said, do you have what? Meat. Give me. And see
10:15
what Christ did. And they gave him a piece of
10:19
what? Broiled what? Fish. And of what? And honeycomb.
10:26
I don't know. Why they did that? Maybe that's
10:29
what they had left. And he took it and did what?
10:33
And ate it before them. The food never fell anyway.
10:38
It stayed intact. Second evidence, right? At
10:42
least they can believe that he is the one. 44.
10:46
And he said unto them, These are the words which
10:52
I did what? Speak unto you while I was yet with
10:56
you that all things must be fulfilled which were
10:59
written in the law of Moses and in the prophets
11:02
and in Psalms concerning what? Not that I will
11:06
rise from the dead and show my hands to you.
11:09
Those are not the things that will be fulfilled.
11:11
Not that I will rise from the dead and you will
11:13
give me boiled fish and honeycomb and I will
11:16
eat to prove that I am the one. What Jesus was
11:20
saying that the prophets have spoken concerning
11:22
him is more than broiled fish and what? And honeycomb.
11:27
It's more than him showing his hands so that
11:31
they can feel it and his feet. Praise God. 45.
11:36
Then open him their understanding that they might
11:39
understand the what? The scripture. So you see.
11:42
When Christ is speaking about the fulfillment
11:45
of the things that were spoken concerning him,
11:47
were things spoken from where? From the scriptures.
11:51
46. And said unto them, Thus it is written. Written
11:55
in where? Please walk with me. Written in where?
11:59
In the scriptures. Right? And thus, what was
12:02
written? That it be with Christ to do what? Suffer.
12:06
So what is the promise that Christ will do what?
12:09
Everyone of us. Christ will Suffer one, rise
12:14
from the dead, the what? The third day, 47, all
12:19
together, under repentance and what? Remission
12:23
of sins shall be preached in whose name? In Christ's
12:27
name that suffered and was raised from what?
12:31
From the dead, the third day, among two nations,
12:34
among Judea, Samaria, Jerusalem, among how many
12:40
nations? All nations. But beginning at what?
12:44
Jerusalem. And see what he told them. And you
12:49
are what? Witnesses of what? Of these things.
12:54
Hallelujah. So one of the things that we are
12:57
establishing from here. Is that. He said. As
13:03
a result of all that have been promised. Spoken
13:07
by the prophets in the scriptures. And today.
13:10
You are witnesses of them. Witnesses of what?
13:15
They are not only witnesses of resurrection.
13:18
Their witness is suffering. Hallelujah. Their
13:21
witness is death. Hallelujah. And now, above
13:24
all, their witnessing is what? Is resurrection.
13:28
And he said to them, that he said, why these
13:32
things are fulfilled is that repentance and remission
13:36
of sins should be what? So which means that if
13:42
there was no suffering, there was no death, there
13:45
was no burial, there was no raising from the
13:49
dead, then there wouldn't be the message of repentance
13:51
and remission of sins to be preached among what?
13:54
All nations. Are you all with me? Are you all
13:59
with me? So the message about repentance and
14:02
remission of sins preached to all nations is
14:06
a product of Jesus' death, burial and what? Resurrection.
14:11
But he said something that was key there. He
14:14
said this message should be preached in whose
14:15
name? In whose name? In my name. And that is
14:22
what we are construing. The believer's authority
14:25
in the name of who? Jesus. Now, the word name.
14:35
The word name. Name. The word name is from the
14:42
Greek word onoma. O -N -O -M -A. The word name
14:47
is from the Greek word what? Onoma. N -O -M -A.
14:56
So universally, we can refer it to be proper
15:02
names that identify different persons. So universally,
15:07
Koston, Pastor Takunda, Pastor Frederick, Pastor
15:13
Chidi, proper names. Onoma, universally, we use
15:19
them, they mean proper names to differentiate
15:22
people. All of us in this room cannot be constant.
15:28
Amen? All of us in this room cannot be chokobleke.
15:34
It's not possible. We cannot be bitter. We cannot
15:41
be precious. We cannot be patient. So a proper
15:46
name, universally, onoma. Amen? To identify different
15:52
persons. Mark. Chapter 3, verse 16. Let's see
15:55
that. Mark 3, 16. Mark 3, 16. See what the scripture
16:12
says. And Simon, his surname what? Peter. Hallelujah.
16:18
And Simon, his surname what? And James, the son
16:23
of, can you see proper names to identify individuals?
16:27
And John, the brother of James, and his son named
16:32
him what? Boaneges, which is the sons of Tonda.
16:37
And Andrew, and Philly, and Bartholomew, and
16:41
Matthew, and Thomas, and James, the son of Alphaeus,
16:45
and Thaddeus, and Simon the what? Canaanite.
16:50
And not the least. And Judas. Iscariot. Proper
16:55
name. Amen. Hallelujah. Mark 6. 14. 15. Proper
17:02
names. Please just walk with me. We are having
17:06
a good study this morning. Mark 16. Mark chapter
17:09
6. Sorry verse 14 to 15. See what the scripture
17:12
says. And King Herod heard him. For his name
17:15
was spread. What? And he said that John the Baptist
17:20
was risen from the dead. And therefore mighty
17:23
works do show for themselves where? In him. Whose
17:27
name? Jesus' name. It went abroad. Amen. 15.
17:32
Others say that it is what? Elijah. And others
17:36
say that it is a prophet. Or as one of the what?
17:40
One of the prophets. Add this to your writing.
17:43
Acts chapter 13 verse 6 to 8. Proper names. Proper
17:48
names. So, that is universally as proper names.
17:55
Amen? Then, onoma can be used figuratively. Onoma
18:00
can be used what? Figuratively. Praise God. Onoma
18:07
can be used figuratively to mean a person's authority.
18:17
A person's what? Authority. So in fact, let me
18:21
just move ahead of myself. We can say the believer's
18:24
authority in the authority of Jesus. Hallelujah.
18:28
Glory to Jesus. The believer's authority in the
18:31
authority of who? Of Jesus. A person's authority,
18:35
a person's reputation. A person's office. A person's
18:44
ability. A person's position. A person's character.
18:55
A person's function. I'm going to repeat myself,
18:58
don't worry. Onoma can be used figuratively to
19:03
mean a person's authority. A person's reputation.
19:09
A person's office. A person's ability. A person's
19:16
position. A person's character and a person's
19:21
what? Function. So we can say this way from our
19:24
topic now. Right? The believer's authority in
19:28
what? Number one, the believer's authority in
19:32
what? This class. The believer's authority in
19:37
the authority of Jesus. The believer's authority
19:40
in the reputation of Jesus. The believer's authority
19:44
in the... Office of Jesus. The believer's authority
19:47
in the ability of Jesus. The believer's authority
19:50
in the position of Jesus. The believer's authority
19:54
in the... The believer's authority in the...
19:57
So write this now, this way. Send my authority
20:02
in the authority of Jesus. Write it. All that
20:06
we have said, now write it. My authority in the
20:09
authority of Jesus. My authority in the reputation
20:12
of Jesus. My authority in the office of Jesus.
20:15
My authority in the ability of Jesus. My authority
20:18
in the position of Jesus. My authority in the
20:22
character of Jesus. And my authority in the function
20:26
of who? Jesus. So one of the things that we are
20:38
able to establish that what Jesus told them,
20:42
that repentance and remission can only be preached
20:48
in whose name? In the name of Jesus, in his name.
20:53
Please write this. It's a good point. We're going
20:55
to build on it. We're going to build on it. Repentance
20:58
and remission of sins can only be established
21:01
in the name of Jesus. In fact, that only, please
21:07
capitalize it, only in the name of Jesus. Only.
21:13
It can never happen in any other name. We can
21:17
never see people saved. We can never see this
21:21
message preached. Only what? In the name. In
21:25
fact, as it's coming to my head, The only license
21:27
for repentance and remission of sins to be preached
21:32
to all nations is what? The name of Jesus. Hallelujah.
21:38
Glory to Jesus. Glory to Jesus. Why? Because
21:47
we see, he told them in 46 now, Luke 24, 46.
21:52
He said, thus it is written that Christ, To suffer
21:57
and to rise from what? The death, the what? The
22:01
third day. Why? Because this is the essence of
22:05
what has been fulfilled. Amen. There was a promise
22:09
that was spoken and we see that now is what?
22:12
Is fulfilled. Praise God. So all that Christ
22:15
has been speaking is upon his resurrection. Hallelujah.
22:19
Glory to God. So we've read a couple of scriptures.
22:24
to establish that from Luke, a couple of verses.
22:26
Can we go to Luke 22, 24? Let's trace back to
22:31
22 to 24. Luke 24, where we came from. Luke 24,
22:36
22. Yeah, and certain men, yeah, and certain
22:40
women also of our company made us astonished,
22:45
which were early at the sepulcher. And when they
22:49
found not his word, and when they found not his
22:53
word, His body, they came saying that they had
22:58
also seen a vision of what? Which said that he
23:03
was what? Alive, twenty -four. And certain of
23:06
them which were with us went to the sepulcher
23:09
and found it even so as the women had what? So
23:12
which means it was empty. But him they saw what?
23:16
They saw not twenty -five. Then he said unto
23:19
them, All fools and slow of heart to believe,
23:22
all that the prophets have what? what have they
23:25
spoken? Ought not Christ to have suffered, right?
23:29
The same that we read from 46. Amen? Ought not
23:33
Christ to have what? Suffered for it behoved
23:35
Christ to suffer, to die and to be raised, right?
23:38
Yeah, the third day. Ought not Christ to have
23:40
suffered these things and to enter into his what?
23:44
Glory. Hallelujah. So which means the resurrection
23:46
of Christ is an evidence that Christ has entered
23:49
into his what? Praise God. So now, let me say
23:53
it this way now. So when we say the believer's
23:55
authority in the name of Jesus, what we are saying
23:58
is that the believer's authority in the glory
23:59
of Jesus. Hallelujah. Glory to God. What we are
24:04
saying is the believer's authority in the what?
24:07
In the glory of who? The glory of Jesus. My authority
24:12
in the glory of Jesus. That's what we are saying.
24:19
So, We now see in verse 47, Luke will say in
24:30
his name, among how many nations? Among all nations.
24:34
So if we are reading in Luke's account, so which
24:37
means that we expect that Matthew must have said
24:40
something in his name. Because in Matthew, we
24:42
also have the resurrection of Jesus, right? So
24:45
we should expect that Mark should also tell us
24:48
in his what? Name, because Mark. will have written
24:52
down about the resurrection of who of jesus we
24:56
should expect john to also tell us about what
24:59
his name because john will have also spoken about
25:02
the what the resurrection of who of jesus and
25:07
in his name hallelujah praise god say i am in
25:12
the name say i am in the name say i am in the
25:16
name i am in the authority of the name of jesus
25:21
Mark chapter 16 now, everybody. So far so good.
25:24
Are we all on the same page? Is it clear? So
25:28
far is it clear? Do we understand the subject
25:30
for today? In his what? In his name. Hallelujah.
25:35
Good. And when we say in his name, what do we
25:37
mean? His authority. His office. His function.
25:45
His ability. His position. His character, glory
25:49
to Jesus. Hallelujah. Good. Mark chapter 16 now.
25:59
Mark chapter 16, verse 15 to 17. Everybody, let's
26:02
read. And he said unto them, go ye into what?
26:08
Please, does this look like where we are coming
26:11
from, from Luke 24? Repentance and remission
26:14
should be preached in his name to how many nations?
26:18
Can you see Mark who also writes that, an account?
26:21
He said, go ye into what? This is also upon his
26:25
resurrection. Hallelujah. And preach the gospel
26:29
to how many persons? To everyone. 16. He that
26:33
believeth and is baptized shall be saved, but
26:35
he that believeth not shall be what? So, two
26:39
things now. From Luke, we see repentance and
26:43
remission of what? Saints will be preached. One.
26:46
Two. We see that in his name. That will be done.
26:50
Amen. Three. We now see for how many nations?
26:53
All nations. Good. So we see in Mark chapter
26:56
16. Also verse 15. One. We are seeing all nations.
27:00
All the worlds. Two. We are seeing what? What
27:04
will be preached to all the world? Gospel. Right?
27:07
So the next thing we should look out for is what?
27:09
In his name. Praise God. Good. So let's keep
27:13
reading down now. He that believeth and is baptized
27:16
shall be saved. But he that believeth not shall
27:18
do what? And these signs shall what? Follow them
27:23
that believe. All together. Can you see? In my
27:30
name shall they what? In my name shall they speak.
27:36
In my name they shall. And if they drink any
27:41
deadly thing. In my name it shall not. In my
27:45
name they shall and the sick shall walk. So now,
27:51
from Mark now, in Luke, we see repentance and
27:57
remission of sins to all nations will be preached.
28:01
Amen? So we now move and take it further to see
28:04
certain events that will happen in his name again.
28:07
We will not only preach the gospel in his name,
28:10
but we will see signs, wonders, and miracles
28:13
in his what? Are you all with me? So we now see
28:19
that he is saying that going to the world, preach
28:23
the gospel. He that believes is saved. Not only
28:27
that, but in my name also, he that believes shall
28:32
speak in what? New tongues. In my name also,
28:35
he that believes shall do what? Cast out devils.
28:39
In my name also. He that believes shall take
28:43
up serpents and he shall not hurt them. In my
28:47
name also. He that believes shall lay hands on
28:51
the sick and the sick will do what? Recover.
28:55
Can you see? So we have taken it further now,
28:58
seeing and establishing from Luke to see that
29:01
aside that the gospel will be preached, repentance
29:04
and remission of sins will be preached in his
29:05
name, signs, wonders and miracles will also happen
29:08
in his what? In his name. So, we can put it this
29:13
way. The believer's authority, the believer's
29:20
authority in preaching the gospel to all nations,
29:23
number one now, from where we are coming from
29:27
now, in Mark. The believer's authority in preaching
29:31
the gospel to how many nations? To all nations.
29:35
Two, the believer's authority The believer's
29:43
authority in the name of Jesus in doing signs,
29:49
wonders, and miracles. The believer's authority
29:52
in the name of Jesus in doing signs, wonders,
29:56
and what? Miracles. This is important, the place
30:01
where we're going. So please write it down carefully.
30:10
Are we all here? So we see Mark will tell them
30:14
to go and what? To preach. Praise God. Glory
30:18
to Jesus. So what is preach the gospel? You can
30:24
write it down. Preach the gospel. What is preach?
30:29
The word preach. The word preach means keruso.
30:34
K -E -R -U -S -S -O. The word preach means keruso.
30:41
Keruso. K -E -R -U -S -S -O. The word preach
30:45
is keruso. And keruso, keruso means to herald.
30:55
Herald. Keruso means to herald a public career.
31:03
You know town criers? You know town criers in
31:07
Nigeria? It's what we call morning cry. You know?
31:12
Pastor Emma can relate. You know, Pastor Emma
31:14
told us that was one of his edification. You
31:17
know, so he now devised a means so that his friends
31:21
will not see him. So often, people that do morning
31:25
cry, they will carry this megaphone. You know,
31:28
while you are changing gears at 5 a .m., that's
31:32
when them, they are helping your gears to move.
31:39
And you know, Most of them will not teach about,
31:45
will not herald the dead burial and resurrection
31:49
of Jesus. They will herald hellfire. So a mourning
31:56
cry, what mourning cry is like mourning, I don't
31:59
know how to put it, like a mourning devotion.
32:01
For you that don't do devotion, they will do
32:03
mourning devotion for you. So you will hear it
32:06
from your room. Right? First, when they come
32:10
out of the house, they will start singing songs.
32:12
You know, good morning. They will do good morning
32:15
Jesus around your streets first. You know, before
32:18
they will start reading the book or reading whatever
32:22
manual has been given and you must hear them
32:25
whether you like it or not. Right? What they
32:28
are doing is that they are carouseling the message
32:32
they have. They are public criers. The word carousel
32:38
is a strong word. They are announcers. They announce
32:43
a message. They proclaim a message. That's what
32:50
kerusa is in its word. To proclaim. To publish.
32:57
Kerusa means to herald, to publish, to proclaim.
33:03
So it means whenever there is a kerusa, people
33:07
must see and people must hear. You hear what
33:11
I say? People must what? See and people must
33:15
what? Hear. When there is a publishing, people
33:19
must see and people must what? Hear. Jesus will
33:25
tell John the Baptist, the disciples of John
33:27
the Baptist, he said, go and tell him what you
33:31
have seen and what you have heard. When there
33:39
is a heralding of a message, people must hear
33:42
and people must what? Must see. Keruso. And keruso
33:51
is only done by speaking. Do you hear what I
33:58
said? Keruso is only established or achieved
34:01
by what? By speaking. By speaking. So we know
34:10
what keruso is, right? Then the next thing now
34:12
Jesus will tell them is to now preach the gospel.
34:15
So write the gospel. What is the gospel? The
34:19
word the gospel in Greek word is euagelion. E
34:25
-U -A E -U -A G -G -E -L -I -O -N Euagelion.
34:35
E -U -A -G -G -E -L -I -O -N. Let me repeat myself.
34:40
The word gospel is E -U -A -G -G -E -L -I -O
34:46
-N. Which implies good message. Hallelujah. Good
34:53
message. Good news. Glad tidings. That word,
34:58
you. E -U. You don't say, you're a jailer, right?
35:02
That word, E -U. In you means good will. Good,
35:08
well. That word in you, in Greek means what?
35:11
Good, well. Glad. Then agelion. Agelion means
35:19
angelos. Angelos means messengers. Hallelujah.
35:24
So when we combine your agelion, it means what?
35:27
Messengers with good will, with a message that
35:30
is good. Praise God. So when we say keruso, we
35:35
combine keruso and eugelion, it means messengers,
35:40
angelos, eugelion, right? Angels, messengers
35:45
that carry what? Good message, right? And they
35:49
do what? They publish it. They proclaim it. So
35:53
what Christ will tell his disciples, he said
35:56
repentance and what? Remission of sins will be
36:00
preached to what? in all nations. And now, verse
36:04
47, he said, and ye are witnesses. He said, what
36:09
Jesus now is saying to them is that, ye are the
36:12
angels that will carry this everywhere. No wonder
36:17
in Acts chapter 1, verse 8, he will still tell
36:19
them the same thing. He said, and ye shall receive
36:21
power of the Holy Ghost that has come upon you,
36:23
and ye are my witnesses for this gospel. You
36:26
preach it to them, Judea, Samaria, Jerusalem,
36:29
and where? All the nations of the earth. Hallelujah.
36:36
Say, I am the messenger. I am the messenger of
36:40
Christ. And I herald his message to all nations.
36:46
Hallelujah. That's your authority in Christ Jesus.
36:49
Praise God. So, scriptures about Jerusalem. Let's
36:53
just add this now as references. Matthew 3, verse
37:00
1. Cherusso, Cherusso. These are references for
37:05
Cherusso. References for Cherusso. Now, scriptures
37:08
as references for Cherusso. Matthew 3, verse
37:11
1. It says, in those days came John the Baptist.
37:13
Doing what? Proclaiming in the wilderness of
37:16
what? Of Judea. Yes. 4, verse 17. Matthew 4,
37:22
verse 17. Matthew 4, verse 17. Very fast. From
37:28
that time, Jesus began to do what? To publish
37:31
and proclaim and to say, repent for the kingdom
37:35
of heaven is what? Is at hand. Let's add these
37:40
scriptures now. Matthew 4 .23 Matthew 4 .23 Matthew
37:45
10 .7 Matthew 10 .7 Acts 8 .5 Acts 8 .5 And then
37:55
Romans chapter 10, verse 14 to 15. Romans chapter
37:59
10, verse 14 to 15. All this is talking about
38:02
what? Proclaiming, heralding, praise God. Then
38:08
your Agelion, references for your Agelion. References
38:12
for your Agelion. Mark 1, verse 1. Give us Mark
38:20
chapter 1, verse 1. Mark 1, verse 1. See what
38:24
the scripture says. The beginning of what? The
38:30
beginning of the good news. Of who? Of Jesus
38:34
Christ. The what? The son of God. Hallelujah.
38:41
Mark chapter 1 verse 14. Mark chapter 1 verse
38:45
14 to 15. Now, after John was put in the prison,
38:49
Jesus came to Galilee preaching the gospel, the
38:52
good news of what? Of the kingdom of God. At
38:56
this now, 8 verse 35. Mark 8 verse 35. Mark 8
39:02
verse 35. Romans 1 verse 1. Romans 1 verse 1.
39:10
Amen. Romans 1 verse 1. Romans 1 verse 16. Glory
39:17
to God. Hallelujah. So let's go to Mark 16 verse
39:24
14 now. Mark 16 verse 14. Mark 16 verse 14. See
39:38
what the scripture says. Unbelief and hardness
39:47
of what? Of heart. Do you remember we saw this
39:50
similar thing in Luke? They had unbelief. He
39:55
said, touch my arm bone and flesh. Give me food
39:57
to eat. Right? But see now. How did Jesus upbraid
40:01
them? Upbraided them with their unbelief and
40:03
hardness of heart because they believed not them
40:06
which had seen him after he was what? Reason.
40:10
Praise God. So, that word, he upbraided them,
40:14
or he upbraided their unbelief and hardness of
40:16
heart, it means to correct by pointing out a
40:20
serious fault. That word, to upbraid, is not
40:24
a word that is referring Jesus was angry. I told
40:28
you three days I'm going to be raised from the
40:30
dead. No, no, no, no, no, no. What Jesus did,
40:33
that word, to upbraid their unbelief and hardness
40:36
of heart, is onidizo, O -N -E -I -D -I -Z -O.
40:40
It means to correct. So what Christ did is that
40:45
he corrected their minds by pointing out a serious
40:50
fault. And how did he correct their mind by pointing
40:55
out the fault of unbelief? What did he do? He
40:59
brought to their understanding a knowledge that
41:01
was not there. Praise God. How did Jesus correct
41:05
their unbelief? How did he upbraid them? He brought
41:09
to their understanding, right? A knowledge that
41:13
was not what? That was not there before. Because
41:21
they believed not them which had seen him after
41:24
he was what? He was risen. Hallelujah. Are we
41:29
all there? So now, let's see Matthew 28 verse
41:33
19. Matthew 28, verse 19. Matthew 28, verse what?
41:44
19. From verse 18, everybody. And Jesus said,
41:49
Jesus came and spoke unto them saying, all power
41:52
is given unto me in heaven and in what? And in
41:56
the earth. So, we have seen Luke's account, right?
41:59
We have seen Mark's account, right? We are looking
42:02
at Matthew's what? I count now. So what we expect
42:05
to see in Matthew, we should see him talking
42:07
about all nations. We should see him talking
42:09
about preaching the gospel. We should see him
42:11
talking about what? In his name. Hallelujah.
42:14
Good. So, verse 18. And Jesus came and spoke
42:17
unto them, saying, All power is given unto me
42:21
in heaven and in what? And in earth. 19. Go ye
42:25
therefore and teach all nations. Hallelujah.
42:30
Baptizing them in the name of what? the Father
42:33
and of the Son and of the what? Of the Holy Ghost,
42:37
20 now. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever
42:41
I have commanded you and lo, I am with you always
42:45
even unto the end of what? Of the world. Hallelujah.
