 Thank you for joining us today.

4
00:00:36,380 --> 00:00:39,439
 Wow, clapping.

5
00:00:42,439 --> 00:00:46,899
 Yeah, it is an honor to be able to serve with with chosen people ministries and

6
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,140
 Let's see if the soul work right here

7
00:00:54,439 --> 00:01:00,479
 Let me let me just share this and I know this is you know going public, but so my wife is also

8
00:01:01,379 --> 00:01:03,659
 a messianic Jew a born-again Jewish believer

9
00:01:04,439 --> 00:01:09,079
 And I have three girls, but but in terms of the family I grew up in

10
00:01:09,719 --> 00:01:15,500
 Parents brothers aunts uncles cousins the whole the whole got some mishpocha the whole bigger broader family

11
00:01:16,020 --> 00:01:20,020
 I am still so far the only one in my family who saved and

12
00:01:24,859 --> 00:01:26,819
 My dad actually even recently

13
00:01:27,320 --> 00:01:32,079
 Said that he wants to come he's actually taking care of my mom right now on something, but he wants to come

14
00:01:32,540 --> 00:01:35,439
 I've shared the gospel and everything with him for many many years

15
00:01:35,900 --> 00:01:40,580
 but but he soon wants to actually even come one time when I'm when I'm teaching but I

16
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:46,019
 It's important to know I grew up in a just a really loving Jewish family

17
00:01:46,019 --> 00:01:51,640
 I grew up what's called reform Jewish which really in Jewish denominational circles is is is

18
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:58,579
 Like liberal Jewish if you want to think of it that way and so so my rabbi growing up a wonderful sweet man

19
00:01:58,579 --> 00:02:02,359
 But he didn't fully really believe that the scriptures were the word of God

20
00:02:03,219 --> 00:02:07,459
 But we had reverence for the scriptures and so this is how that played out

21
00:02:07,459 --> 00:02:08,460
 so

22
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,659
 You know if we look at that the scriptures, you know, there's

23
00:02:13,539 --> 00:02:15,139
 morals values ethics

24
00:02:15,139 --> 00:02:21,659
 Right principles that have stood the test of time and societies have been built on and and so the congregation community

25
00:02:21,659 --> 00:02:25,719
 I grew up in was more or less kind of looking at at the writings of our

26
00:02:25,719 --> 00:02:31,659
 Relatives from a long time ago and almost kind of giving credit in a sense to like the wisdom of the ancestors

27
00:02:31,659 --> 00:02:37,840
 Right or the wisdom of the sages that way and and and you know with a hope that there might be some inspiration

28
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:42,060
 You know with God and but not really fully believing that that God was real, you know

29
00:02:42,060 --> 00:02:45,800
 And so I'm gonna be sharing this in some more depth pretty soon

30
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:52,400
 But I want you to know for me and for many Jewish people when it comes to considering the truth claims about Jesus

31
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:58,120
 What we really do is we kind of put like a like a wall or a line in the sand

32
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:03,319
 It will keep the Jesus thing over there and we'll stay over here and we'll make decisions as to

33
00:03:03,900 --> 00:03:04,340
 whether

34
00:03:04,819 --> 00:03:10,259
 Anything, you know related to him and those claims are true not really based off of what scripture might say or what?

35
00:03:10,259 --> 00:03:16,259
 he said, but we'll look at history and we'll look at different parts of persecution history and

36
00:03:16,259 --> 00:03:22,459
 Kind of keep that Jesus thing like I said on the other side and we'll decide that that he's not for us

37
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:33,280
 By looking at different, you know levels of persecution and we see ourselves as survivors as a people and not just survivors of

38
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:39,000
 Pharaoh, you know when we think about this holiday and we're gonna be going into the pants over and we're gonna look at the gospel

39
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:44,580
 in like 18 different ways and look at the Last Supper and but you know if we think about a holiday that just happened which

40
00:03:44,580 --> 00:03:49,759
 Was Purim or with the book of Esther and you have Haman the bad guy there and we're survivors of that

41
00:03:49,759 --> 00:03:53,060
 But we see ourselves unfortunately as survivors of Christian persecution

42
00:03:53,659 --> 00:04:00,199
 And so for me personally, I honestly really did think that the New Testament was going to be anti-semitic

43
00:04:00,199 --> 00:04:03,180
 And I thought it was going to say something like let's go to Canaan to get the Jews

44
00:04:03,180 --> 00:04:07,300
 I literally thought that which sounds wild and a friend of mine

45
00:04:08,099 --> 00:04:11,719
 Who kind of came to believe about five months or so before me

46
00:04:11,719 --> 00:04:15,860
 He ended up giving me this book called more than a carpenter

47
00:04:15,860 --> 00:04:20,319
 How many people just have ever heard of more than a carpenter? So a lot of people it's wonderful

48
00:04:20,319 --> 00:04:24,579
 So CS Lewis had put together a way to present who is Yeshua?

49
00:04:24,699 --> 00:04:31,439
 Who is Jesus and this guy Josh McDowell created like an evangelistic book with it and it's basically they

50
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,560
 Jesus really is who he says he is. He is the Lord

51
00:04:35,300 --> 00:04:37,959
 Or he's a liar or a lunatic

52
00:04:39,100 --> 00:04:45,019
 Because one of the verses that's referenced in this and by the way, I kid you not I read this while I was driving on

53
00:04:45,019 --> 00:04:45,779
 I 95

54
00:04:49,319 --> 00:04:50,439
 Okay, so

55
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:56,579
 But one of the verses is John 14 sex where he says

56
00:04:56,579 --> 00:05:02,220
 I'm the way the truth and the life and no one comes on to the father except by me

57
00:05:02,220 --> 00:05:04,339
 By the way some fun trivia

58
00:05:05,100 --> 00:05:12,079
 John chapters 13 14 15 16 and 17 are all this meal

59
00:05:14,439 --> 00:05:17,199
 Someone read from John 12 right beforehand

60
00:05:17,199 --> 00:05:22,620
 But 13 to 17 is actually all this meal now if someone were to say to me beforehand who did I think Jesus was?

61
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,379
 I probably would have said something like

62
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,779
 Well, maybe he was a good guy and maybe he had some good teaching

63
00:05:28,779 --> 00:05:31,600
 I wouldn't have thought he was God at that point and then

64
00:05:32,220 --> 00:05:38,319
 I would have said and unfortunately things went into these anti-Semitic directions afterwards with the followers and but when I read

65
00:05:38,319 --> 00:05:40,959
 I'm the way the truth of life. For example, I

66
00:05:40,959 --> 00:05:42,680
 realized that it would be

67
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:50,160
 It would be intellectually dishonest of me to keep Jesus in that definition or box that I had him in

68
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:55,240
 He couldn't just be maybe some nice stuff. Yeah, there really was who he said he was or it was just Michigan

69
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,500
 It was just nonsense and

70
00:05:57,980 --> 00:06:04,079
 Reading this book. I didn't get saved from it. But what it did is it made me for the first time go

71
00:06:04,079 --> 00:06:05,740
 I got to dip my toe into

72
00:06:06,439 --> 00:06:08,579
 into this who is Jesus question and

73
00:06:10,879 --> 00:06:11,279
 and

74
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:15,180
 I never read the New Testament. I didn't want to and I ended up going to a Bible study

75
00:06:15,840 --> 00:06:20,120
 That my my friend kept inviting me. I kept saying no, no, no, I finally decided to go

76
00:06:20,879 --> 00:06:27,259
 And I meet a guy there named Ananta hejibu and Ananta was Hindu and he got saved and I'm asking him all these questions

77
00:06:27,259 --> 00:06:32,579
 And he's the one that told me if I've never read any of the New Testament to start in the book of Luke

78
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,959
 Now it's very interesting. You don't really kind of hear that often and

79
00:06:37,500 --> 00:06:41,259
 After the service, we're gonna have like a little bit of an open Q&A time

80
00:06:41,259 --> 00:06:46,360
 Optionally for people there if you want to ask me about other parts of my testimony or why I'd be happy to share that

81
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:47,420
 with you, but

82
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:52,459
 But it's important to know I got saved the first day that I ever read the New Testament

83
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,399
 And it was reading the book of Luke

84
00:06:57,259 --> 00:07:00,740
 That we can clap for it after what the Lord did

85
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:03,480
 And

86
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:07,439
 So it's important to know at the beginning of Luke you you actually get

87
00:07:07,439 --> 00:07:13,439
 I'm a priest in the temple and then an angel comes to tell him about a child that he's gonna have and this child ends

88
00:07:13,439 --> 00:07:19,600
 Up being John or John the Baptist now for me personally the name or the phrase John the Baptist couldn't have been like

89
00:07:20,319 --> 00:07:20,800
 more

90
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:25,980
 Christian ease and less Jewish, but here he is. He's of the lineage of

91
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:33,500
 You know of Levi's and priests and it was surprising and then you get to chapter 2 and that's what I expect

92
00:07:33,500 --> 00:07:35,459
 I'm probably going to be reading in the New Testament

93
00:07:35,459 --> 00:07:39,220
 You get kind of the birth story and the shepherds in the field and I'm thinking okay

94
00:07:39,220 --> 00:07:42,360
 This is the Christmas story I've heard of but then in Luke chapter 2

95
00:07:42,899 --> 00:07:45,480
 It actually says that Jesus was

96
00:07:46,180 --> 00:07:47,560
 Circumcised on the eighth day

97
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:54,839
 Right, and then it actually talks about something called pitya haben, which is the redeeming of the firstborn where it talks about how

98
00:07:54,839 --> 00:08:02,259
 Mary and Joseph they went up to the temple and it says in Luke that they offered sacrifices according to the law of Moses

99
00:08:02,259 --> 00:08:06,660
 This was basically about the redeeming of the firstborn, but then you get into Luke 2

100
00:08:06,660 --> 00:08:09,439
 I want to go ahead and get this verse 41

101
00:08:09,439 --> 00:08:14,620
 It says his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the Passover

102
00:08:15,479 --> 00:08:19,139
 And at this point, I just couldn't believe like, you know, I'm reading this Jewish story

103
00:08:19,740 --> 00:08:26,680
 And then at the end of chapter 3 you get one of the lineages the genealogies that actually takes Yeshua all the way back to Adam

104
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:27,620
 And at that point

105
00:08:28,339 --> 00:08:30,459
 I finally put my guard down

106
00:08:31,060 --> 00:08:34,559
 because I still had a guard up thinking I'm going to go ahead and

107
00:08:35,340 --> 00:08:40,960
 counteract whatever, you know, I might be able to see or hear and at that point

108
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,200
 Just read the rest of the book of Luke and God, you know

109
00:08:45,139 --> 00:08:46,539
 God just opened up my eyes

110
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,879
 that night and I'm crying out and I kid you not I

111
00:08:50,740 --> 00:08:54,720
 There were four of us. Well, I was the only one that wasn't saved at that point, right?

112
00:08:54,899 --> 00:08:59,460
 Then I get saved, but I asked if we could kneel back down and this is not to sound spiritual

113
00:09:00,299 --> 00:09:02,000
 Because I had to confess something, right?

114
00:09:02,179 --> 00:09:04,620
 So so I asked the fact we could kneel back down

115
00:09:05,019 --> 00:09:09,580
 And my first sentence is I say God, I'm sorry because I hated your name

116
00:09:11,259 --> 00:09:11,700
 And

117
00:09:12,319 --> 00:09:18,019
 And it wasn't just thinking about God the Father that you know understanding that Jesus is God, right? He is God the Son

118
00:09:19,219 --> 00:09:22,100
 And I remember the first church I went to the next week

119
00:09:23,939 --> 00:09:27,820
 Open up a phone book and I go I think Baptist is supposed to be healthy

120
00:09:27,820 --> 00:09:30,740
 This is this is what I was thinking. I didn't really and

121
00:09:30,740 --> 00:09:36,720
 Hokus in Baptist Church, it was this little Norman Rockwell place in a school down in Delaware and

122
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:40,639
 And um, and they were they were great. They were great. And then they said this to me

123
00:09:40,639 --> 00:09:44,080
 They said don't believe anything that you hear unless you check it with the word of God

124
00:09:44,899 --> 00:09:48,399
 And they also said and don't even believe what this church is teaching

125
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:53,379
 Unless you check what's being taught here with what the word of God says

126
00:09:53,379 --> 00:09:58,899
 All right, and there really can't be anything better, you know for a brand spanking new believer

127
00:09:58,899 --> 00:10:00,620
 And I want you to know that yes

128
00:10:00,620 --> 00:10:06,179
 We're going to be going through a lot of the fun parts of looking at how the the modern Jewish traditional

129
00:10:06,179 --> 00:10:11,279
 Passover fader is expressed and we're going to be looking at what's biblical versus what's traditional

130
00:10:11,279 --> 00:10:18,620
 We're going to be really diving into what we see biblically and i'm going to steal this phrase that people use at Christmas, right?

131
00:10:18,820 --> 00:10:22,820
 Right that that he is the reason for the season right that Jesus is right

132
00:10:22,820 --> 00:10:25,620
 He's the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world, right?

133
00:10:25,940 --> 00:10:30,159
 First Corinthians 5 for for messiah Christ our Passover lamb has been sacrificed

134
00:10:30,159 --> 00:10:34,740
 He's the he's the reason for the season and we're going to look at the Last Supper, but I want you to know

135
00:10:35,460 --> 00:10:35,639
 that

136
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,799
 Not just here in this service

137
00:10:38,799 --> 00:10:45,399
 But I personally or our ministry we're we're here to just be a resource and of service to you

138
00:10:45,399 --> 00:10:49,100
 Okay, so I just want you to know that what was handed out earlier

139
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:55,720
 Um, and people got this in the bulletin. You you actually have a brochure and in this brochure

140
00:10:55,720 --> 00:11:00,820
 If you open it up, it's got a little bit of a picture of me and a testimony and there's a tan section

141
00:11:00,820 --> 00:11:03,100
 This has information about our ministry

142
00:11:03,580 --> 00:11:08,039
 And there's one kind of panel and that panel right there can be torn off

143
00:11:08,039 --> 00:11:13,139
 If people want to just be a part of our prayer newsletter once a month, they send out a prayer newsletter

144
00:11:13,139 --> 00:11:18,480
 You can fill this out. You can put it in the back table. It's a way that we can be able to be in touch

145
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,419
 Honestly, please to be able I mean listen I got prayed into the kingdom

146
00:11:23,419 --> 00:11:27,460
 I mean right so so I just so thank so you can want to get some more connection

147
00:11:27,460 --> 00:11:30,139
 But also there's a lot of free materials

148
00:11:31,259 --> 00:11:33,059
 There's tracks for example

149
00:11:33,059 --> 00:11:37,740
 Like why did messiah have to die and we're going to talk about, you know

150
00:11:37,740 --> 00:11:41,039
 The reason for the season here right or how would you know the messiah?

151
00:11:41,179 --> 00:11:45,879
 There's different tracks and other materials of what we do. One is called. I found shalom

152
00:11:45,879 --> 00:11:49,399
 It's a website of over a hundred actually we're doing like 40 more videos right now

153
00:11:49,399 --> 00:11:54,820
 So this summer there'll be about 150 videos all jewish born again salvation testimonies

154
00:11:54,820 --> 00:11:59,179
 And so mine is on there. It's like four and a half minutes. I can talk in four and a half minutes

155
00:12:00,299 --> 00:12:02,720
 Actually, no because they have to edit it and cut it

156
00:12:03,300 --> 00:12:05,639
 Right, right. That's how that works. Okay, so please

157
00:12:06,119 --> 00:12:08,419
 Gather but you also have a picture right here

158
00:12:08,419 --> 00:12:15,259
 This is my family on the back is my contact information my phone number my email in whatever way that we can just be

159
00:12:15,259 --> 00:12:18,879
 A resource or of service and I have one example right here

160
00:12:18,879 --> 00:12:23,200
 This is actually just a calendar. We have free calendars. There's books

161
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:27,100
 There's a lot of free stuff there if you want to go ahead and you know

162
00:12:27,100 --> 00:12:30,299
 Be a part of our just just receiving the prayer newsletter

163
00:12:30,299 --> 00:12:35,679
 You can go ahead and get, you know free materials and things that are there. So please know that

164
00:12:36,339 --> 00:12:42,220
 We want to exist to be to be a resource now. This is my favorite verse period

165
00:12:43,199 --> 00:12:45,480
 And it's not just because it's such a great

166
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:50,139
 Biblical truth right that we're saved, you know by grace through faith is not of ourselves

167
00:12:50,139 --> 00:12:54,779
 Right. It's a gift of God. This is Ephesians 2 8 and 9 right not by works

168
00:12:55,279 --> 00:12:58,700
 Meaning not by our works right so that no man may boast

169
00:12:59,399 --> 00:13:02,320
 But this is also really like medicine for me

170
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:06,019
 Because i'm unfortunately the kind of person that you know, I might think about

171
00:13:06,019 --> 00:13:11,320
 Oh, how well was I doing an hour ago versus how well am I going to do an hour from now and and uh

172
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:16,080
 So this verse helps me to put my eyes back on him and off of me

173
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:21,220
 And my hope is at this time that we even have here together where we're going to look at the gospel

174
00:13:21,220 --> 00:13:29,779
 This also can just be another tool to help us to just trust in the faithfulness the redemption story

175
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:36,000
 Um of the Lord so that way when we're struggling when we're dealing with shame or guilt

176
00:13:36,919 --> 00:13:37,500
 um

177
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:44,200
 Whatever it might be that in the midst of that we can just turn and just trust in the character

178
00:13:44,759 --> 00:13:45,679
 and nature

179
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,080
 Right promise keeping faithful nature of the Lord

180
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:53,500
 And so that's that's really my hope so i'm going to go through a couple of things here real quick

181
00:13:53,500 --> 00:13:55,659
 But this is my family and my three girls

182
00:13:55,659 --> 00:13:57,899
 um, and um

183
00:13:57,899 --> 00:13:59,740
 I'll just kind of go through yay, Philadelphia

184
00:13:59,740 --> 00:14:07,799
 Okay, um, but just please know the Jewish community says if you do an hour radius of Philadelphia, there's about 300,000 Jewish people

185
00:14:08,660 --> 00:14:13,600
 So bucks county, Philadelphia, Montgomery, Delaware county, Chester, Cherry Hill, etc

186
00:14:14,980 --> 00:14:19,419
 This is who we kind of you know reach out to right, you know the life of a of a missionary here

187
00:14:19,419 --> 00:14:22,240
 This is the congregation. I go to congregation bethi shoah

188
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,759
 Jew and gentile one a messiah i'm going to go through these right, you know

189
00:14:25,759 --> 00:14:30,200
 It's great to partner with different Christian ministries. This is me doing college campus work

190
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,940
 I used to work at a university for 10 years actually i'm gonna stop right here

191
00:14:32,940 --> 00:14:36,600
 If anyone is interested, this will be the fifth year in a row myself and another person

192
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,240
 We run mission strips in new york city

193
00:14:39,799 --> 00:14:44,740
 So if you're interested in that or you want to know more about that. Um, I actually had meetings yesterday

194
00:14:44,740 --> 00:14:48,360
 uh two days ago i'm sorry about this and

195
00:14:48,939 --> 00:14:52,000
 We had about 60 people last year and we're just you know

196
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:58,899
 On the streets and there's salvation and stories and so, you know pictures kind of share a lot vacation bible school a camp that we run

197
00:14:58,899 --> 00:15:03,559
 I don't know how close honeybrook is to here, but tell hi camp. We do we do a messianic camp there

198
00:15:03,559 --> 00:15:07,120
 This is inviting people over to our house as a real picture

199
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,539
 There's believers and non-believers here for a passover meal

200
00:15:10,539 --> 00:15:17,539
 It's a great opportunity to be able to bring people over in a nice setting sharing the gospel in in context

201
00:15:18,419 --> 00:15:19,379
 other holidays

202
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,100
 This is a good rabbi friend of mine in brooklyn

203
00:15:26,539 --> 00:15:31,440
 I share with him that yeshua Jesus the messiah. He tells me i'm wrong. We go back and forth. All right

204
00:15:32,139 --> 00:15:37,080
 All right, but you get the gist right all the pictures this helps, you know, kind of give a give a sense

205
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:40,539
 But like I had said before he's a promise keeper

206
00:15:41,079 --> 00:15:47,840
 There is a redemption story from the beginning. He is faithful. And so let's dig into the Passover

207
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,899
 Okay. Now I do want to just go ahead and say

208
00:15:51,579 --> 00:15:55,519
 Um, I appreciate where someone said that, you know, we're going to go into a lot of you know death here

209
00:15:55,519 --> 00:16:00,899
 Yeah, i'm going to highlight a variety of the different pieces that happened during the traditional jewish satyr

210
00:16:00,899 --> 00:16:05,779
 But really if you were to walk out of these doors thinking well, that was an interesting jewish experience

211
00:16:06,580 --> 00:16:10,159
 If that's your main takeaway, that is a failure on my part

212
00:16:10,819 --> 00:16:17,620
 Right because we're going to really be digging into how we see this at the at the last supper and uh, you know

213
00:16:17,620 --> 00:16:23,159
 Prophecy and scripture like I said, we're going to hit the gospel in like 18 different different directions. Okay

214
00:16:23,779 --> 00:16:26,000
 Um, but let me just start here

215
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:27,240
 Okay

216
00:16:28,399 --> 00:16:28,919
 so

217
00:16:29,799 --> 00:16:32,500
 And actually actually i'm not going to start i'm going to go back one i'm going to read

218
00:16:32,500 --> 00:16:35,200
 I want to read from the book of luke. This is luke 22

219
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:40,600
 This is one of the sections where where we see Jesus getting together with the disciples to get to

220
00:16:41,059 --> 00:16:45,960
 Gather the past to gather together for the Passover and it talks about for the feast of unleavened bread

221
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:47,620
 But it says in verse seven

222
00:16:47,980 --> 00:16:51,139
 It says then came the day of unleavened bread and we'll talk about

223
00:16:51,139 --> 00:16:55,539
 About unleavened bread and what this means really soon when the Passover must be killed

224
00:16:56,100 --> 00:16:59,379
 And he sent peter and John saying go prepare the Passover

225
00:16:59,379 --> 00:17:03,340
 Basically, he says you're going to go into town. You're going to meet a man. They find everything the way Jesus said

226
00:17:03,340 --> 00:17:04,480
 Let me go down to verse 14

227
00:17:05,220 --> 00:17:07,880
 When the hour had come he meaning yeshua

228
00:17:08,580 --> 00:17:09,420
 sat down

229
00:17:10,019 --> 00:17:12,339
 And the 12 apostles with him

230
00:17:13,140 --> 00:17:17,960
 And he said to them with fervent desire some versions might say earnest desire

231
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:22,440
 I've desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer

232
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:27,079
 Right for I say to you i'll no longer eat of it until it's fulfilled in the kingdom of God

233
00:17:27,079 --> 00:17:28,519
 And then he takes a cup

234
00:17:28,519 --> 00:17:30,180
 We have some cups right here

235
00:17:30,180 --> 00:17:35,319
 He takes a cup and he gives thanks and he says take this and divide it amongst yourselves for I say to you

236
00:17:35,319 --> 00:17:38,339
 I will not drink of the fruit of divine until the kingdom of God comes

237
00:17:39,859 --> 00:17:44,059
 And then he takes some bread and he gave thanks and he breaks it

238
00:17:45,019 --> 00:17:50,279
 And he gives it to them saying this is my body which is given for you do this in remembrance of me

239
00:17:50,279 --> 00:17:53,660
 And then he also takes another cup the cup after supper

240
00:17:53,660 --> 00:17:57,960
 Saying this cup is the new covenant in my blood which is shed for you

241
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,539
 And so these are verses that we're kind of familiar hearing

242
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:07,079
 And we're going to really look at the context context context of how this plays out

243
00:18:07,079 --> 00:18:09,420
 so that way when we get kind of to the

244
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:16,940
 End in a sense of what the Passover remembrance and celebration would be we're going to be hitting these verses

245
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:24,140
 And then looking at some context by the way, how often do you guys do communion here at once a month? Okay, wonderful

246
00:18:24,140 --> 00:18:26,240
 So what we're going to talk about

247
00:18:26,819 --> 00:18:30,400
 Next time you do communion. Hopefully this is going to be

248
00:18:31,180 --> 00:18:31,859
 a tool

249
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:32,960
 to

250
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:39,660
 As we examine ourselves and and and thank God right for the for the miracle forgiveness of sense

251
00:18:39,660 --> 00:18:43,900
 Okay, so now let's go ahead and do this. This is kind of interesting

252
00:18:46,099 --> 00:18:46,539
 So

253
00:18:46,539 --> 00:18:51,000
 Leviticus chapter 23 is like a snapshot of all the biblical feast days

254
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:55,619
 It has a little piece of the different holidays and why am I kind of going to be focusing on this?

255
00:18:55,759 --> 00:19:00,440
 Because a lot of times we love to look at Passover, right? He's the Passover lamb

256
00:19:01,019 --> 00:19:06,720
 Here's a lamb shank bone, right? And we know he is the fulfillment of this right? He didn't die on any random day

257
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:11,640
 He died on Passover at this point to be the fulfillment of this holiday

258
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:14,839
 But this is not just some one-off

259
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:16,420
 kind of fulfillment

260
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,440
 This is part of a broader redemption story

261
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:27,000
 And so there are holidays that happen in the springtime, which we're you know entering into there's ones that happen in the fall

262
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:33,539
 And Leviticus kind of gives a snapshot. Let's just look at the ones coming up here in the spring and so you have here

263
00:19:34,779 --> 00:19:40,519
 Passover and then something called feast of first fruits and then you have something called shavuot or pentacost

264
00:19:40,519 --> 00:19:43,599
 Let me let me actually just go ahead and say here in Leviticus 23

265
00:19:44,180 --> 00:19:46,099
 God says that he has these appointed

266
00:19:46,099 --> 00:19:51,859
 Festivals these appointed times and so we're going to look at some of the meaning it starts off talking about the Sabbath

267
00:19:51,859 --> 00:19:55,759
 But then has the Passover there is the Lord's Passover now

268
00:19:55,759 --> 00:19:58,599
 We're going to go into that in some real good richness soon

269
00:19:58,599 --> 00:20:07,400
 but the Passover itself is really just the evening or the moment where there was the sacrifice

270
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,339
 And the substitute of the lamb instead

271
00:20:11,059 --> 00:20:12,680
 so we know that

272
00:20:13,579 --> 00:20:18,240
 um, when we look at the different plagues and we have the last plague the the plague of

273
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,759
 Of the firstborn and we're going to look at the story and the and the plagues but

274
00:20:24,579 --> 00:20:29,400
 Theologically, this is really critical. There was going to be death in every house

275
00:20:30,319 --> 00:20:32,440
 Egyptian and Israelite

276
00:20:33,879 --> 00:20:36,960
 God wasn't coming to save us as Israelites just because we're Israelites

277
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:44,519
 It was only whoever was going to put their trust in the method that God was providing for there to be a substitute

278
00:20:44,519 --> 00:20:51,299
 A sacrifice of you know an atonement something in place that would take the punishment and then for there to be life and freedom

279
00:20:51,299 --> 00:20:51,980
 for the person

280
00:20:52,799 --> 00:20:57,140
 So he was just God was coming just to see if there was blood right?

281
00:20:57,319 --> 00:20:59,900
 They took some of the sacrifice from the lamb

282
00:20:59,900 --> 00:21:02,359
 They took the blood and they put it over the door

283
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:07,220
 They put it on the top and the lintels and on the sides and if God came and he saw the blood

284
00:21:07,220 --> 00:21:08,759
 He would pass over the house

285
00:21:09,980 --> 00:21:12,720
 If there was a Jewish family that did not do that

286
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,779
 Then actually their firstborn would take the consequence

287
00:21:17,700 --> 00:21:21,740
 If there was a family of the of the Egyptians right and of the nations that were there and they were like

288
00:21:21,740 --> 00:21:26,099
 You know what after all these plagues and things like i'm going to put my trust in this God of

289
00:21:26,099 --> 00:21:32,299
 The Hebrews right or this God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob if they were to go ahead and do that their firstborn saved

290
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:39,940
 Right really critical because it was just who was going to put their trust in the method that God was providing

291
00:21:40,820 --> 00:21:42,220
 so the Passover

292
00:21:42,799 --> 00:21:51,660
 Technically is that event that evening and it kicks off a week-long holiday called the feast of unleavened bread

293
00:21:52,319 --> 00:21:54,700
 Sometimes when we say the Passover we're kind of like

294
00:21:54,700 --> 00:21:56,859
 Modern day thinking about the whole week

295
00:21:56,859 --> 00:22:00,059
 Like really you have the sacrifice and it kicks off this feast of unleavened bread

296
00:22:00,059 --> 00:22:07,259
 Now why unleavened we're going to read soon and talk about how when this is unleavened it is without

297
00:22:07,779 --> 00:22:11,799
 Sin actually i'm going to read it right now. So in first Corinthians 5

298
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,940
 This is one of the classic verses that people like to to quote

299
00:22:16,580 --> 00:22:22,099
 Um, and we i've said it before for indeed Christ our Passover was sacrificed for us. That's part of verse seven

300
00:22:22,099 --> 00:22:24,839
 This is what it says right before it. This is the context

301
00:22:25,380 --> 00:22:30,980
 It says don't you know Paul's teaching them that a little leaven leavens the whole

302
00:22:32,939 --> 00:22:33,339
 Lump

303
00:22:34,559 --> 00:22:37,740
 Now why am I bringing this up because if there was leaven or something, right?

304
00:22:37,839 --> 00:22:39,920
 It would then turn into more or less like like a roll

305
00:22:40,659 --> 00:22:43,980
 And what Paul's going to do here is he's going to talk about how leaven

306
00:22:44,500 --> 00:22:46,619
 Spiritually is like a symbol of sin

307
00:22:47,180 --> 00:22:50,059
 And something that would be unleavened would be without sin

308
00:22:50,059 --> 00:22:54,619
 And so when we think about him taking his body and his body broken for us even though this was called the you know

309
00:22:54,619 --> 00:23:00,400
 The bread made in haste this unleavened bread for his body broken is symbolically

310
00:23:00,940 --> 00:23:01,380
 about

311
00:23:02,639 --> 00:23:03,079
 sinless

312
00:23:03,079 --> 00:23:04,759
 But and so this is what it says

313
00:23:05,519 --> 00:23:12,299
 Therefore purge out the old leaven that you might be a new lump since you truly are unleavened meaning for those that are saved

314
00:23:12,299 --> 00:23:17,559
 Would then be able to have you know be considered sinless because of what Jesus did for us for indeed

315
00:23:18,139 --> 00:23:23,940
 Let me just read scripture for indeed Christ our passover was sacrificed for us and then it continues therefore

316
00:23:23,940 --> 00:23:25,539
 Let us keep the feast

317
00:23:26,139 --> 00:23:31,299
 Not with the old leaven, you know, nor the leaven of malice and wickedness

318
00:23:31,299 --> 00:23:35,240
 but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth

319
00:23:36,180 --> 00:23:41,960
 and so that's really where we are spiritually as to kind of the the meaning and so

320
00:23:42,299 --> 00:23:48,839
 You kick off this week of unleavened bread. Now. There is another holiday that happens in the midst of that week

321
00:23:50,799 --> 00:23:56,119
 It's called the feast of first fruits and so you see right here offering a first fruits when does it happen?

322
00:23:56,140 --> 00:24:01,460
 Well during the week it happens on the day after the sabbath the sabbath that's being talked about here

323
00:24:01,460 --> 00:24:04,200
 Is the friday night the saturday night sabbath?

324
00:24:04,559 --> 00:24:10,200
 I'm biblically here the first day of the week or the day after the sabbath is this holiday first fruits

325
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:11,660
 So here's the key thing

326
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,460
 Jesus didn't die on any random day

327
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,559
 But on this day to be the fulfillment of the passover

328
00:24:20,279 --> 00:24:24,039
 He also didn't rise from the dead on any random day

329
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:29,680
 But on this day to be the fulfillment of being the first fruit

330
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:36,759
 This is just a couple verses from the new testament. There's others that tease this out. Here's first corinthians first corinthians 15

331
00:24:36,759 --> 00:24:41,099
 Right, but messiah or Christ. He's been raised from the dead

332
00:24:41,820 --> 00:24:49,319
 He's the first fruits of those who fallen asleep talking about the resurrection of first fruits now a few verses later talking about resurrection

333
00:24:49,319 --> 00:24:53,640
 It says each in turn. There's messiah. He's the first fruits

334
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,480
 And then when he comes

335
00:24:56,480 --> 00:25:02,440
 Meaning the second coming those of us who belong to him will be able to have resurrection

336
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:07,039
 So he didn't die in any random day. He also didn't rise from the dead on any random day

337
00:25:07,039 --> 00:25:12,640
 This is part of a broader redemption story now real quickly here. It's okay if people know this or don't know this

338
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:18,920
 but how many people have heard that there are 50 days between the day that Jesus rose from the dead

339
00:25:19,559 --> 00:25:24,480
 And the day that the Holy Spirit came in at chapter two what we call pentecost

340
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:29,500
 And tongues of fire over the people and peter goes out and about three thousand gets saved

341
00:25:29,500 --> 00:25:32,980
 How many people have heard that there's 50 days between these two events?

342
00:25:33,980 --> 00:25:37,500
 Okay, it's actually where we get the word penta for 50 or pentecost

343
00:25:38,559 --> 00:25:41,779
 Here's where the 50 days comes from from leviticus

344
00:25:42,799 --> 00:25:49,579
 Because from that day after the sabbath the day that you did this first fruits offering you're gonna count 50 days to get to

345
00:25:49,579 --> 00:25:55,519
 Another holiday it's called the feast of weeks. It's another harvest holiday. It's actually a pilgrimage holiday

346
00:25:55,519 --> 00:26:01,859
 It's why even in the book of x why did it say there that there's jewish people from like 15 different areas?

347
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:07,660
 Roman mesopotamia and cypress like why were they all there because they're here for this day for this holiday

348
00:26:08,319 --> 00:26:14,819
 So he didn't die in any random day didn't rise from the dead on any random day. The Holy Spirit didn't come on any random day

349
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:21,700
 I know i'm spending a lot of time on this before getting into the nitty gritty of the passover because this really helps to give

350
00:26:21,700 --> 00:26:23,359
 us this broader context

351
00:26:24,759 --> 00:26:25,160
 And

352
00:26:25,639 --> 00:26:28,180
 And so that way we I know a month from now

353
00:26:29,039 --> 00:26:33,960
 Some people right here. It's going to be the not on any random day. That's going to stick with them when they're doing communion

354
00:26:34,419 --> 00:26:38,259
 Right, and if that's what if that's then that's awesome. Isn't this amazing?

355
00:26:38,900 --> 00:26:39,319
 All right

356
00:26:39,319 --> 00:26:45,819
 So with that almost kind of like how Jesus was like, you know with with fervent desire or earnest desire to celebrate the passover

357
00:26:45,819 --> 00:26:47,619
 Maybe even seeing in the context

358
00:26:48,519 --> 00:26:50,759
 It'll give us a little bit of you know

359
00:26:50,759 --> 00:26:53,799
 Earnest desire and what we're going to do and talk about next

360
00:26:53,799 --> 00:26:54,460
 Okay

361
00:26:55,099 --> 00:26:59,720
 Now God over and over and over again tells us to remember remember lots of things in scripture

362
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:01,500
 But tells us a lot to remember

363
00:27:01,980 --> 00:27:06,559
 When we were slaves in egypt to remember the exodus to remember the passover now

364
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:11,420
 Jewish people on purpose will want to kind of put ourselves almost in the story

365
00:27:12,039 --> 00:27:18,339
 Not in and try to think about as if we were slaves and as if we were free made free

366
00:27:18,339 --> 00:27:21,299
 Not in some victim mentality of thinking about

367
00:27:22,319 --> 00:27:24,839
 slavery, but really in the sense of the verse

368
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:25,980
 those

369
00:27:26,660 --> 00:27:28,579
 Those who are forgiven much love much

370
00:27:29,140 --> 00:27:30,619
 Right that when we can focus on

371
00:27:31,140 --> 00:27:34,980
 What it was like to be in slavery, then it actually helps us be that much more

372
00:27:34,980 --> 00:27:42,779
 Grateful and thankful for for for freedom. And so we're to remember this now. I personally love romans 5 8

373
00:27:43,740 --> 00:27:51,059
 Right, it's how God describes himself how he demonstrates his own love towards us

374
00:27:51,940 --> 00:27:54,339
 It's in this that while we were yet sinners

375
00:27:55,180 --> 00:27:57,299
 That messiah died for us

376
00:27:58,059 --> 00:28:07,140
 In a sense that he became the fulfillment of the passover lamb and sacrifice and substitute in our place that he became the method

377
00:28:07,660 --> 00:28:12,859
 God was providing to be the sacrifice the atonement the substitute in our place

378
00:28:13,559 --> 00:28:16,779
 Right, and I know a lot of times people love on the sermon and a mouth, right?

379
00:28:16,940 --> 00:28:20,420
 God has not come to abolish the law or anybody's come to fulfill but let's

380
00:28:21,019 --> 00:28:24,099
 Get it to some fun nitty-gritty here. Okay

381
00:28:24,940 --> 00:28:31,779
 Do you see how there's a plate and so here we have a seder plate you it's this way. Okay, um

382
00:28:32,259 --> 00:28:34,839
 The word seder just means order

383
00:28:35,500 --> 00:28:42,839
 So you're you're kind of going through an order of different elements an order of different parts of the story as part of the remembrance

384
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:47,900
 Now what's important to know is that passover was never given

385
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:55,240
 As a holiday to do something to try to get closer to God or to try to do something to impact our

386
00:28:55,240 --> 00:29:03,200
 Standing or our righteousness with the Lord the whole heart and spirit and purpose is actually just to thank him

387
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,259
 For what he's already done

388
00:29:06,059 --> 00:29:11,019
 To thank him for being the deliverer. So back in exodus

389
00:29:11,599 --> 00:29:18,680
 When moses is even given the instructions from God and he tells to gather all the people and we could you know

390
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:21,220
 There's great details there about on a certain day of the week

391
00:29:21,220 --> 00:29:25,799
 You're to take a lamb and examine it for a certain amount of days and on the 14th day of

392
00:29:25,799 --> 00:29:29,460
 of the first month you go ahead and you would sacrifice it and and

393
00:29:29,460 --> 00:29:35,480
 There are three elements or items that God actually gives as part of the remembrance

394
00:29:36,100 --> 00:29:38,660
 That he tells moses that this will be a part of the future

395
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:45,299
 And so he says to eat the flesh that night meaning you have of the of the sacrifice

396
00:29:46,019 --> 00:29:47,519
 so you have the lamb itself

397
00:29:48,420 --> 00:29:50,900
 and then unleavened bread

398
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:58,119
 And then bitter herbs which today we just have as horseradish representing that here

399
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:05,839
 Technically, there were just three items or three elements as part of the remembrance that God gave

400
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:07,099
 sometime

401
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:14,660
 Between the time of moses and the time of Jesus other traditions got added in the celebration

402
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:16,680
 including cups

403
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,220
 So Jesus took a tradition

404
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:25,339
 When he actually was even showing the spiritual meaning and talking about communion now

405
00:30:25,339 --> 00:30:28,720
 He then gave it to us now as something biblical to do

406
00:30:29,260 --> 00:30:35,980
 But what he did is he even initially took a tradition and then made it as now a a spiritual biblical, you know

407
00:30:35,980 --> 00:30:41,920
 Task for us. So what's very interesting is you have these different kinds of items and elements and then it says

408
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,740
 It shall be when your children say to you

409
00:30:44,740 --> 00:30:48,420
 What do you mean by this service meaning in the future when you're celebrating it?

410
00:30:48,420 --> 00:30:54,279
 That you should say it's the Passover sacrifice of the Lord who passed over the houses of the children of egypt

411
00:30:54,279 --> 00:31:00,559
 And this is a very child oriented holiday. This was always my favorite holiday growing up

412
00:31:01,079 --> 00:31:06,980
 And so you have here a plate and it has a number of the different items and elements and we'll talk about what's biblical versus

413
00:31:06,980 --> 00:31:07,720
 what's traditional

414
00:31:08,279 --> 00:31:10,299
 But do you see how there's also like a scroll?

415
00:31:12,059 --> 00:31:13,619
 so I um

416
00:31:14,539 --> 00:31:20,559
 All jewish homes will have something called a haggadah a haggadah just means the story or the telling

417
00:31:21,039 --> 00:31:26,500
 And so there's different books or booklets and you go through and you're going through the seder or the order

418
00:31:26,500 --> 00:31:32,720
 Of this part of the story and the meaning of that item and songs and if you're at my house, it's like a three four hour

419
00:31:33,700 --> 00:31:38,980
 Affair really is this is actually the one I grew up with the Passover haggadah

420
00:31:38,980 --> 00:31:44,220
 Brought to you by the coffees of maxwell house. That's that's the one that I grew up with

421
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:47,059
 This is one from um shop, right?

422
00:31:47,859 --> 00:31:51,660
 Okay, right and I I like showing this thing they put coupons

423
00:31:52,660 --> 00:31:58,779
 Side right? Okay. Um, here's a here's a children's one, you know with uh pictures and

424
00:31:59,500 --> 00:32:04,839
 And you know songs and and so it's very much a you're going through the order

425
00:32:04,839 --> 00:32:11,559
 Now what I also use in my house today is I do a combination of what I grew up with and something called the messianic

426
00:32:11,559 --> 00:32:16,779
 Passover haggadah or story or telling where we're also showing Jesus the fulfillment of

427
00:32:17,059 --> 00:32:22,779
 Of the day, but let's look at this real quick, right? Some nice pictures. Look, here's a here's a square one

428
00:32:22,779 --> 00:32:30,140
 They could be made out of construction paper. That's okay. Here's the table of a jewish family. You see them gathering reading getting ready

429
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:35,799
 This is the image ari halvin. I this is what I think of when I think of the last supper

430
00:32:36,899 --> 00:32:38,599
 Maybe because i'm touchy feely

431
00:32:39,139 --> 00:32:42,019
 And you know, but more intimate a lot of times in scripture

432
00:32:42,019 --> 00:32:48,500
 We'll see that it says Jesus reclined at the table and I have right here a pillow as a little representation

433
00:32:48,500 --> 00:32:52,380
 It's actually in the modern jewish tradition to recline

434
00:32:52,980 --> 00:32:57,779
 And so interesting enough we happen to see that Jesus also reclined someone can recline

435
00:32:57,779 --> 00:32:59,740
 It's almost like a symbol of being a free man

436
00:33:00,259 --> 00:33:03,059
 Now this is the classic picture, right?

437
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:05,119
 Oh, it's a little blurry. Sorry

438
00:33:06,700 --> 00:33:09,180
 There's something biblically wrong though

439
00:33:09,759 --> 00:33:13,700
 Now who am I to say? Oh da Vinci, right? But there actually is something biblically wrong

440
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:16,380
 And that is if you were to look at the table

441
00:33:16,940 --> 00:33:19,000
 You would see there are bread rolls

442
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:21,880
 Right

443
00:33:22,739 --> 00:33:26,619
 Not unleavened when the whole point is it's the feast of unleavened bread

444
00:33:27,439 --> 00:33:29,380
 And this is what paul is teasing out

445
00:33:29,900 --> 00:33:30,140
 so

446
00:33:31,259 --> 00:33:34,059
 I don't know from what aspect but but if we don't see

447
00:33:34,899 --> 00:33:39,559
 Not just the jewish bit but like like the biblical context there's things that can be missing

448
00:33:40,119 --> 00:33:42,519
 And actually that's part of the point

449
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:45,759
 Of his body unleavened and broken for us

450
00:33:45,759 --> 00:33:50,440
 Right. So hopefully what we're doing here will help also give us some good context

451
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:51,240
 Okay

452
00:33:51,700 --> 00:33:56,440
 All right. So let's go ahead and i'm going to mention some of the different items in some of the order

453
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:57,940
 But we're going to get into some good scripture

454
00:33:57,940 --> 00:34:02,599
 But what does happen is you have candles and we'll light the candles

455
00:34:02,599 --> 00:34:09,539
 It's traditional but it's a way to kind of make this a sacra a sanctified time a special

456
00:34:09,539 --> 00:34:12,159
 It's like having a service in the house

457
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:17,260
 And so the woman in the house will light the candles and it's kind of to sanctify the time

458
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,059
 I have four cups right here

459
00:34:20,059 --> 00:34:22,300
 In the traditional jewish satyr

460
00:34:22,300 --> 00:34:25,119
 There will be two cups that happen before the meal

461
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:27,059
 And two that happen after

462
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:31,539
 At the last supper we see two cups interesting enough as how that played out

463
00:34:31,539 --> 00:34:33,059
 We see one before and one after

464
00:34:34,079 --> 00:34:41,199
 The tradition today is that we would drink the first cup and um, and actually, uh, it would be a burukhatat and I love

465
00:34:47,199 --> 00:34:51,719
 Blessed are you Lord our God king of the universe who brings forth fruit from the vine

466
00:34:52,259 --> 00:34:53,519
 And then we would drink

467
00:34:56,019 --> 00:35:00,780
 And this is called the cup of sanctification kind of like with the same heart

468
00:35:01,420 --> 00:35:03,780
 Let's make this a sanctified special time

469
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:05,960
 The second cup

470
00:35:06,700 --> 00:35:09,940
 We have it's called the cup of plagues is when we get to that part of the story

471
00:35:10,620 --> 00:35:13,900
 The third cup after the meal is called the cup of redemption

472
00:35:14,460 --> 00:35:15,980
 This is a traditional name

473
00:35:15,980 --> 00:35:18,400
 Um, and you know interesting enough

474
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:22,599
 We know that at least you know, Jesus takes the cup after supper to institute communion

475
00:35:22,599 --> 00:35:25,260
 And then the fourth cup is called the cup of praise

476
00:35:25,260 --> 00:35:29,679
 It's actually when we're singing songs and different sums and hymns and things like that

477
00:35:29,679 --> 00:35:31,420
 It's interesting we see in scripture

478
00:35:31,420 --> 00:35:37,480
 It says that at the end of their time that they they left out and ventured out with different hymns

479
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:38,960
 You know and and songs

480
00:35:39,599 --> 00:35:45,059
 So this is just like a little bit of the um of what the cups, you know would kind of be there for it

481
00:35:45,059 --> 00:35:47,199
 now I have here a a um

482
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:51,960
 Uh like a pitcher and

483
00:35:52,659 --> 00:35:58,260
 There are two different times in the traditional jewish service where we'll do like a ceremonial hand washing

484
00:35:58,260 --> 00:36:05,820
 Um, and you're you're kind of doing it over over a basin and actually nice tradition to even serve the person next to you

485
00:36:05,820 --> 00:36:11,800
 They put their hands and you're kind of washing then they take it and they serve the person next to them and kind of going around

486
00:36:12,720 --> 00:36:18,739
 Now we can't say this is a direct biblical, you know connection, but it reminds us

487
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:21,860
 Of something that's beautiful from the last supper

488
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:25,280
 And that is what did Jesus do towards the beginning?

489
00:36:26,039 --> 00:36:29,440
 Is he went around right and washed the feet of the disciples

490
00:36:30,199 --> 00:36:33,820
 Now we have to be careful not to say oh we see something

491
00:36:33,820 --> 00:36:39,320
 It's similar and we make it as if it's a solid bible connection

492
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:42,260
 We have to be very careful. I heard someone use the word

493
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:47,239
 Evangelistic let's not you know, we we don't want to stretch things

494
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:50,099
 But we can be able to say it reminds us

495
00:36:50,099 --> 00:36:52,059
 Of this other really great truth

496
00:36:52,720 --> 00:36:53,039
 right

497
00:36:53,759 --> 00:36:54,920
 Where Jesus himself

498
00:36:56,900 --> 00:37:00,800
 Right the son of God not the son our savior our messiah our rabbi

499
00:37:01,519 --> 00:37:01,820
 he

500
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:02,920
 actually

501
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:10,480
 Models for us this example of real servanthood right and to go around and and to serve it's just it's just absolutely

502
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:11,840
 It's absolutely beautiful

503
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:15,619
 Now i'm gonna ask for a volunteer

504
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:21,780
 I don't nobody really kind of knew that but can I get one volunteer that might come up? Yeah, you come on up, sir. That's right

505
00:37:22,299 --> 00:37:25,980
 And what's your name? Ben. Okay, excellent ben. All right

506
00:37:26,940 --> 00:37:29,320
 Now ben, I didn't tell you that you're gonna have horseradish

507
00:37:30,639 --> 00:37:31,039
 Okay

508
00:37:35,179 --> 00:37:38,360
 He's good with that okay, so here's here's the scoop

509
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:39,400
 um

510
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:42,420
 We're gonna look at some of the different items and elements

511
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:47,000
 And I want to just kind of show here, right? This is the classic picture

512
00:37:47,980 --> 00:37:50,539
 Of what we would see when we talk about the blood

513
00:37:51,099 --> 00:37:56,559
 Over the door and what we're going to be doing is leading up to this part of of the story

514
00:37:56,559 --> 00:37:59,219
 but there's a tradition that's added

515
00:37:59,940 --> 00:38:00,380
 and

516
00:38:00,380 --> 00:38:03,500
 Um, here is some parsley for you

517
00:38:05,519 --> 00:38:08,880
 Sometimes I joke that you know, i'm sorry. This is not chocolate bunnies

518
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:14,860
 Right now some people like to think this is like the hyssop branch

519
00:38:14,860 --> 00:38:19,840
 Do you see how he's holding a branch that way he would dip in for the blood and put it on the top and the side

520
00:38:20,539 --> 00:38:24,380
 some people like to say oh this reminds us of springtime a new list of life and

521
00:38:24,940 --> 00:38:30,400
 And um it this is just a traditional item that's added. So if people want to have their own traditional meetings

522
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:37,300
 That's fine versus what's biblical. The point is we take this as just a reminder practically for us

523
00:38:37,300 --> 00:38:39,059
 We dip it into salt water

524
00:38:39,599 --> 00:38:41,159
 Oh, no, that's regular water

525
00:38:41,679 --> 00:38:44,059
 No, no, you got to try the really terrible salt water

526
00:38:44,059 --> 00:38:47,460
 But here's the deal you can have that regular water afterwards

527
00:38:48,099 --> 00:38:48,139
 Okay

528
00:38:48,940 --> 00:38:49,719
 All right

529
00:38:50,260 --> 00:38:51,960
 Because do you see these pictures of slavery?

530
00:38:52,980 --> 00:38:54,579
 Here's another one

531
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:56,579
 Salt water

532
00:38:57,139 --> 00:39:01,500
 Our tears are salty. It's just to try to remind us of the tears of those in slavery

533
00:39:01,500 --> 00:39:07,699
 It's a traditional touch point to try to remind ourselves and put ourselves into the story

534
00:39:08,260 --> 00:39:12,820
 And so there's normally songs and blessings that go with it. But go ahead and and eat a little bit

535
00:39:15,599 --> 00:39:18,099
 And then that water's for you by the way

536
00:39:18,099 --> 00:39:19,039
 He's good

537
00:39:19,619 --> 00:39:20,039
 All right

538
00:39:20,820 --> 00:39:24,019
 So that's kind of one of the items or traditions now

539
00:39:24,639 --> 00:39:26,019
 I have here

540
00:39:28,519 --> 00:39:30,440
 What's called a matzah tash

541
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:33,300
 It's just a pouch and it has different

542
00:39:33,940 --> 00:39:35,480
 pieces of matzah in it

543
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:41,019
 And the tradition is to go ahead and to take the middle piece out the middle piece of matzah

544
00:39:41,019 --> 00:39:42,539
 And why the middle piece?

545
00:39:44,619 --> 00:39:48,139
 Lots of traditions right again. So, you know, some people think about well, there's

546
00:39:48,699 --> 00:39:54,400
 Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob or there's God the priesthood and and people we could think of father son spirit

547
00:39:55,099 --> 00:40:00,119
 Let's not worry about the you know, the tradition but you're to take it and you're to break it

548
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:02,380
 And half of it

549
00:40:02,380 --> 00:40:06,099
 Gets wrapped in like a white like linen cloth

550
00:40:07,199 --> 00:40:07,559
 And

551
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:09,900
 It is called the afikoman

552
00:40:09,900 --> 00:40:16,500
 It becomes like a dessert after the meal and that's a greek word about you know, then he comes but it gets hidden

553
00:40:17,619 --> 00:40:20,320
 And then there's a fun kids game where at the end of the meal

554
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:22,960
 They go and try to find it and if they find it

555
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:27,400
 they can bring it back for like a reward in our house, we like break it into a ton of pieces and

556
00:40:28,159 --> 00:40:29,659
 The kids ransacked the house, right?

557
00:40:29,860 --> 00:40:33,400
 And you know, they might get a dollar for this one or if it was a chocolate kind

558
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:35,780
 They get like a few dollars for that, you know, whatever it might be

559
00:40:36,099 --> 00:40:41,239
 Now some people like to say wow when we think about this it reminds us

560
00:40:41,779 --> 00:40:44,320
 Of how his body or his sinless body

561
00:40:45,059 --> 00:40:46,840
 broken for us

562
00:40:48,180 --> 00:40:52,360
 Dies wrapped, you know in like put a put away

563
00:40:52,900 --> 00:40:53,500
 Those that

564
00:40:54,099 --> 00:40:58,119
 Find him or let's just say are found by him get reward and and that's great

565
00:40:58,119 --> 00:41:03,780
 We can't say that's a direct biblical connection as to that, but it can remind us of that great story

566
00:41:03,780 --> 00:41:10,679
 But I want to share something here. Do you guys see how the matzah is striped and pierced?

567
00:41:12,260 --> 00:41:16,260
 Now there are some amazing prophecies we're going to read a couple really soon

568
00:41:16,260 --> 00:41:20,460
 One of them about pierced is about a future time of jewish recognition

569
00:41:20,460 --> 00:41:27,400
 It's in zechariah chapter 12 verse 10 a time of jewish recognition in the future of Jesus as the messiah it says

570
00:41:28,019 --> 00:41:29,039
 I'll pour out

571
00:41:29,700 --> 00:41:31,840
 On the city of david the inhabitants of jerusalem

572
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:38,000
 A spirit of grace and supplication prayer and they'll look upon me whom they've pierced

573
00:41:38,720 --> 00:41:42,260
 And mourn for him as one mourns for an only son

574
00:41:43,599 --> 00:41:48,800
 Or we could think about a great verse in in isaiah chapter 53, which we're going to read

575
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:53,500
 Which is that by his stripe right or by stripes people have you know, we are healed

576
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:55,619
 And these are great

577
00:41:56,960 --> 00:42:03,599
 Now most all matzah around the world is made pierced as just another way to make sure that you know, something won't rise

578
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:07,099
 Not all matzah around the world is made striped

579
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:09,860
 So we have to be careful

580
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:14,940
 Not to make oh, this is an automatic, but what does this do? It reminds us

581
00:42:14,940 --> 00:42:19,219
 I know I keep bringing that up because remember this is what is true

582
00:42:20,059 --> 00:42:20,519
 and

583
00:42:21,860 --> 00:42:23,380
 But isn't this incredible?

584
00:42:23,380 --> 00:42:27,920
 It reminds us of these great spiritual truths. And so what we're going to do is this

585
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:30,159
 Can you take a couple pieces of matzah right here?

586
00:42:30,940 --> 00:42:31,380
 Okay

587
00:42:31,380 --> 00:42:33,400
 and i'm going to take a couple pieces

588
00:42:34,799 --> 00:42:35,239
 and

589
00:42:36,139 --> 00:42:38,000
 We're going to have some of the horseradish

590
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:43,659
 And then there's another yummy mixture. It's a brown mixture. It's apples honey nuts

591
00:42:44,799 --> 00:42:46,280
 Yeah, yeah horosets

592
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:49,179
 It this other mixture is to make us think about like the

593
00:42:49,179 --> 00:42:53,159
 The consistency of like mortar when making bricks, but it's a very yummy mixture

594
00:42:53,159 --> 00:42:56,980
 What I want you to do. You don't have to put a lot on it's up to you as to how much you want to put on

595
00:42:57,659 --> 00:43:01,320
 But you want to follow your lead. Okay, that's fine. So take some

596
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:04,699
 of the horseradish and then you'll take some of the

597
00:43:05,119 --> 00:43:10,179
 Of the apple mixture and then normally like I said, there's songs and things but go ahead and just eat

598
00:43:10,619 --> 00:43:16,779
 you know eat them any particular world well do the so here's the deal some people believe that the

599
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:16,920
 the

600
00:43:18,199 --> 00:43:19,780
 Yummy mixture the apple

601
00:43:20,299 --> 00:43:24,800
 Horoset mixture may have been around at the time of the first century. Um, I don't think so

602
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:29,519
 I think it comes here because but we know the bitter mixture would have been this is this is

603
00:43:29,519 --> 00:43:34,960
 This is the sop or the bitter herbs because this is the biblical one. So do this one first and then that one after

604
00:43:39,179 --> 00:43:40,900
 That's okay, that's not a question

605
00:43:41,599 --> 00:43:42,079
 Um

606
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:48,760
 A fun tradition is to take so much horseradish that you start to cry

607
00:43:50,019 --> 00:43:52,480
 To associate with the tears of those in slavery

608
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:53,760
 Okay

609
00:43:55,019 --> 00:43:55,500
 Okay

610
00:43:56,180 --> 00:43:58,400
 Not water is for you forever. Okay

611
00:43:59,000 --> 00:43:59,480
 Now

612
00:44:02,300 --> 00:44:04,340
 I need this so I can talk okay

613
00:44:05,759 --> 00:44:06,960
 What you just did

614
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:10,360
 We see happening at the last supper

615
00:44:11,319 --> 00:44:14,420
 At least the bitter herb mixture. So let's read right here in mark

616
00:44:15,279 --> 00:44:16,079
 chapter 14

617
00:44:16,599 --> 00:44:19,659
 It's one of the examples here. So here we go mark 14

618
00:44:20,259 --> 00:44:22,260
 It says in the evening. This is verse 17

619
00:44:23,219 --> 00:44:26,219
 In the evening he Jesus came with the 12

620
00:44:26,699 --> 00:44:33,340
 And now as they sat and ate yeshua said assuredly I say to you one of you who eats with me will be training

621
00:44:35,779 --> 00:44:38,960
 And they began to be sorrowful and to say to him one by one is that I

622
00:44:39,599 --> 00:44:41,420
 Right and another one saying is that I

623
00:44:42,079 --> 00:44:44,019
 And the answer is and says to them

624
00:44:44,019 --> 00:44:49,980
 It is one of the 12 who dips right dips the bread dips with me in the dish

625
00:44:49,980 --> 00:44:54,320
 That's what this version says some will say the sop. This is the bitter herb mixture

626
00:44:56,299 --> 00:44:59,760
 And then he says the son of man indeed goes just as it's written of him

627
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:02,880
 But woe to that man by whom the son of man is betrayed

628
00:45:03,639 --> 00:45:07,760
 This is literally the part of the last supper what you just participated in here

629
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:11,500
 Where judas is called on the carpet as the betrayer?

630
00:45:12,139 --> 00:45:14,760
 This particular, you know item and tradition that you just did

631
00:45:15,519 --> 00:45:19,579
 Okay. Thank you. Thank you. You can go ahead and sit down. Appreciate it. Thanks. I'm pretty yeah

632
00:45:23,139 --> 00:45:23,539
 Now

633
00:45:25,319 --> 00:45:25,719
 Um

634
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:30,639
 Let me kind of keep going with the story here

635
00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:36,840
 I heard someone make this joke and i'm going to go ahead and use and steal it but um

636
00:45:37,339 --> 00:45:41,179
 So you see here, right, you know moses or charlton heston, you know

637
00:45:41,179 --> 00:45:45,000
 He's there at the at the bernie bush and he's you know now to go to

638
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:47,179
 Pharaoh, you know, let my people go and

639
00:45:47,980 --> 00:45:51,800
 Someone said that, you know, if we when we're in heaven if we ever get the chance to somehow

640
00:45:52,559 --> 00:45:54,239
 meet moses or see moses

641
00:45:55,339 --> 00:45:57,219
 If he ends up looking like pastor

642
00:45:58,380 --> 00:46:03,280
 Or me like if he doesn't look like charlton heston, that's going to be very it's going to be awkward

643
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:05,480
 I'm going to say how that plays out

644
00:46:06,980 --> 00:46:14,519
 But here's the deal when it comes to the plagues the key thing is God showing he's the true God

645
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:18,739
 Over the so-called Gods of egypt. Does that make sense?

646
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:21,840
 like number nine

647
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:25,039
 darkness over ra the sun God

648
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:26,139
 Okay

649
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:29,280
 And so to show he's he's the true God

650
00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:31,539
 Oopsie daisy. Did I just knock something over?

651
00:46:32,340 --> 00:46:33,599
 Okay, so

652
00:46:34,240 --> 00:46:36,400
 if we get right here to the

653
00:46:37,500 --> 00:46:39,619
 Kind of the reason for the season

654
00:46:40,220 --> 00:46:45,760
 There's another item on on the the plated. It's it's an egg. It would be a roasted egg

655
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:49,599
 This is to remind us that the sacrifices that had to happen

656
00:46:49,599 --> 00:46:54,199
 They had to be roasted and it's a reminder of sacrifices and the sacrificial system

657
00:46:54,199 --> 00:46:57,739
 But I gotta tell you we already have the greater

658
00:46:57,739 --> 00:47:02,159
 You know item and element and symbol of sacrifice

659
00:47:02,700 --> 00:47:10,079
 So that's a traditional item that got added, you know, but we have the lamb, you know itself and so I love little cartoon pictures

660
00:47:10,780 --> 00:47:16,360
 That help, you know the reason for the season right, you know for he is

661
00:47:19,240 --> 00:47:22,679
 You know the one who takes away our sin and takes our place

662
00:47:23,180 --> 00:47:26,679
 Now what I want to do is remember how we have here

663
00:47:27,399 --> 00:47:29,440
 Right and we have the picture here and there's the blood

664
00:47:30,039 --> 00:47:34,199
 And it was whoever was going to put their trust in whatever in the method God was providing

665
00:47:34,199 --> 00:47:39,900
 now when Jesus comes on the scene right or when God the sun comes and takes on

666
00:47:40,599 --> 00:47:43,500
 Human nature, you know alongside his divine nature

667
00:47:44,539 --> 00:47:46,579
 That wasn't something brand new

668
00:47:46,579 --> 00:47:51,460
 As like like the new covenant or or the the plan wasn't somehow launched at that point

669
00:47:51,460 --> 00:47:56,360
 This is in fulfillment of what God's redemption story and plan was even from the beginning

670
00:47:57,119 --> 00:48:03,099
 By the way, a lot of people love it's an easy way to remember jeremiah chapter 31 verse 31

671
00:48:03,099 --> 00:48:09,320
 31 31 that's where it talks about behold. The days are coming declares the Lord i'll make a new covenant

672
00:48:10,300 --> 00:48:15,059
 Right with the house of judah house of visitor. This is where the new covenant promise comes

673
00:48:15,059 --> 00:48:18,320
 But what I want to do with us is read together

674
00:48:18,919 --> 00:48:23,119
 The granddaddy i'm gonna say of all the messianic prophecies

675
00:48:23,119 --> 00:48:27,920
 This is written over 700 years before the birth of Jesus

676
00:48:29,340 --> 00:48:34,639
 This is basically the sacrificial servant this is about the the

677
00:48:37,699 --> 00:48:39,460
 It's called the arm of the Lord

678
00:48:39,460 --> 00:48:44,960
 isaiah talks about how the arm of the Lord is not too short to save and about how he's going to go ahead and

679
00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:48,559
 Provide this arm and and we get a description of this arm

680
00:48:48,559 --> 00:48:54,159
 And by the way the couple verses right before what we're going to read in in isaiah 53 talks about a servant

681
00:48:54,159 --> 00:48:57,500
 And actually it's the word for like slave and you get this servant

682
00:48:58,500 --> 00:49:01,599
 But the servant is going to be high and lifted up

683
00:49:01,599 --> 00:49:07,880
 A a phrase in hebrew that's only used three other times in isaiah for God almighty himself

684
00:49:08,460 --> 00:49:11,500
 So you get this servant or slave that's going to be high and exalted

685
00:49:11,980 --> 00:49:16,579
 But then says that he'll be marred more than any man

686
00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:23,619
 And then it talks about in verse um, uh 52 13

687
00:49:25,179 --> 00:49:28,659
 Um, actually i'm going to go ahead and and read it. Let me just do it that way

688
00:49:28,659 --> 00:49:30,639
 Let me go here

689
00:49:34,199 --> 00:49:35,780
 Thank you for your patience

690
00:49:38,239 --> 00:49:40,840
 And i'm reading I think out of under king james, so

691
00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:43,739
 Um, oh the verse 15. I'm sorry. I know I was like, right

692
00:49:43,739 --> 00:49:51,239
 So he'll be marred more than any man and then it says so shall he sprinkle many nations that word sprinkle

693
00:49:52,140 --> 00:49:56,239
 In the hebrew every time it's used in exus lividicus. It's for two reasons

694
00:49:56,239 --> 00:49:57,280
 It's either

695
00:49:57,900 --> 00:50:00,739
 the sprinkling of blood for atonement purposes

696
00:50:01,260 --> 00:50:04,760
 Or for like an anointing sprinkling purpose

697
00:50:05,420 --> 00:50:12,559
 So this one that is a servant then is high and exalted but is also more marred more than any man

698
00:50:12,559 --> 00:50:13,440
 will have

699
00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:17,739
 Atonement an anointing impact on even the nations

700
00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:26,460
 And so with that context we're going to get a description of this arm this arm of the Lord and so here we have

701
00:50:27,039 --> 00:50:32,260
 Who has the arm who's believed our report and who is the arm of the Lord revealed?

702
00:50:32,300 --> 00:50:37,199
 We're going to get a revealing now. I'm going to read only a few of these different parts, but like

703
00:50:38,099 --> 00:50:43,300
 Verse two there was no beauty in him that we should desire him right. He didn't look like pastor

704
00:50:43,300 --> 00:50:44,820
 You know beauty right now

705
00:50:45,700 --> 00:50:50,860
 No, but like that wasn't what was going to attract us verse three. He though was despised

706
00:50:51,700 --> 00:50:53,460
 and rejected of men

707
00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:58,980
 Verse four, but he bore our griefs

708
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:05,320
 Right and our sorrows, but we we esteemed him stricken

709
00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:08,079
 Right. He was wounded

710
00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:10,739
 for our transgressions

711
00:51:10,739 --> 00:51:13,260
 bruised for our iniquities

712
00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:18,239
 Right the chastisement or the punishment that brought us peace that was on him by his

713
00:51:18,239 --> 00:51:22,159
 Stripe or stripes. We are healed all we like sheep have gone astray

714
00:51:22,159 --> 00:51:27,059
 Everyone has turned to his own way, but the Lord laid on him the sin of us all

715
00:51:27,800 --> 00:51:33,780
 This is the substitute on our behalf. This is the method God is providing by the way

716
00:51:33,780 --> 00:51:36,179
 To be able to take care of all

717
00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:38,079
 categories of our sin

718
00:51:39,060 --> 00:51:43,940
 Not just pet which is a word for sin to miss the mark or a word called avone

719
00:51:43,940 --> 00:51:50,440
 Which is willful sinning but something called peshah, which is not just willful but rebelliousness

720
00:51:50,980 --> 00:51:51,260
 sin

721
00:51:52,019 --> 00:51:58,780
 There's only two times in scripture two things that can take that actual most rebelliousness

722
00:51:59,500 --> 00:52:04,920
 Sin and can atone for it one is the day of atonement sacrifice and one is this

723
00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:11,059
 This is what Jesus himself quotes that he fulfills

724
00:52:11,740 --> 00:52:15,639
 And he is the sacrifice once for all

725
00:52:16,460 --> 00:52:21,619
 It's the forever perfected forever the eternal. So let's just keep reading here verse seven

726
00:52:21,619 --> 00:52:26,699
 He's brought as a lamb to the slaughter verse eight is amazing the second half of verse eight

727
00:52:27,360 --> 00:52:34,280
 Talks about how he'll be cut off out of the land of the living will die

728
00:52:36,179 --> 00:52:38,239
 Later in the psalm it talks about how

729
00:52:38,719 --> 00:52:41,039
 He's going to live again and he's going to prolong his days

730
00:52:41,039 --> 00:52:43,559
 But the arm of the Lord actually goes ahead and dies

731
00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:47,920
 Isaiah cries out for the transgression of my people. He was stricken

732
00:52:48,699 --> 00:52:51,960
 His his grave with the wicked but he had done no deceit

733
00:52:52,559 --> 00:52:55,519
 You know no deceit in his mouth. Look at the next verse

734
00:52:56,699 --> 00:53:00,860
 But it pleased the Lord God to bruise him

735
00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:08,860
 This is critical because there's been something called deicide which is a claim of the death of God

736
00:53:08,860 --> 00:53:12,420
 And in Christian history where it'll be a blame

737
00:53:12,940 --> 00:53:14,300
 You know like like who to blame?

738
00:53:15,660 --> 00:53:17,340
 right, like um

739
00:53:18,540 --> 00:53:22,980
 You know, was it there was it the jewish people or was it the romans or was it the jewish leadership?

740
00:53:23,519 --> 00:53:23,880
 right

741
00:53:26,699 --> 00:53:28,000
 Well, who's the blame this pastor?

742
00:53:29,719 --> 00:53:30,139
 And me

743
00:53:31,380 --> 00:53:32,480
 Right our sin

744
00:53:33,020 --> 00:53:39,599
 So when people get into the blame game, it's really missing the whole point of the actual gospel message is that it's actually that

745
00:53:40,300 --> 00:53:46,760
 God demonstrated his own love for us that while we were he had sinners that messiah died for us

746
00:53:47,900 --> 00:53:50,840
 And not only that it's God is pleased

747
00:53:52,420 --> 00:53:58,500
 It also says in new testament right that Jesus he laid down his life willingly nobody took it

748
00:53:58,500 --> 00:54:05,500
 Um, uh pass can someone help me? Um for the joy set before him. He endured the cross. I can't remember where that verse is from

749
00:54:06,599 --> 00:54:11,219
 Um, is it hebrews hebrews 12 or hebrews? Okay, so all right

750
00:54:11,900 --> 00:54:13,760
 God the father pleased

751
00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:16,280
 God the son joyful

752
00:54:16,940 --> 00:54:18,500
 What's your name dear brother?

753
00:54:18,500 --> 00:54:19,159
 Bree

754
00:54:20,199 --> 00:54:22,519
 Why would God the father be pleased?

755
00:54:24,360 --> 00:54:25,119
 But his son

756
00:54:26,780 --> 00:54:30,159
 And why would why would Jesus himself even be joyful?

757
00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:32,159
 To go through all that

758
00:54:32,820 --> 00:54:34,360
 because breen

759
00:54:34,360 --> 00:54:36,679
 That is the way for you to be able to be forgiven

760
00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:39,280
 Right

761
00:54:41,300 --> 00:54:46,199
 It's a miracle now check this out it says that he'll see the um

762
00:54:46,840 --> 00:54:49,440
 He'll prolong his days, but I want to go to verse 12

763
00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:51,159
 Do you see how it says?

764
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:56,519
 He poured out his soul into death. He was numbered with the transgressors

765
00:54:57,300 --> 00:55:01,320
 He bore the sin of many and made intercession for the transgressors

766
00:55:01,320 --> 00:55:07,139
 I started earlier by reading in the book of luke luke chapter 22 when I was um

767
00:55:07,960 --> 00:55:12,440
 You know talking about them gathering together for the Passover later in that chapter

768
00:55:12,440 --> 00:55:16,300
 This is what Jesus says verse 37. He's talking to the disciples

769
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:21,139
 He says for I say to you that this which is written

770
00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:24,440
 Must still be accomplished in me

771
00:55:24,440 --> 00:55:29,820
 Jesus is going to quote something from the hebrew scriptures and say that's actually accomplished in me

772
00:55:30,440 --> 00:55:34,340
 Now when John or paul or others when they come up with messianic prophecies

773
00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:38,400
 Like those are as equally true as when we see Jesus doing it

774
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:41,519
 But you know listen when when our Lord himself is actually quoting one

775
00:55:42,079 --> 00:55:43,000
 And what does he quote?

776
00:55:43,780 --> 00:55:44,840
 right here

777
00:55:44,840 --> 00:55:49,199
 Quote and he was numbered with the transgressors

778
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:52,679
 For the things concerning me have an end

779
00:55:54,659 --> 00:55:57,280
 He's the reason for the season

780
00:55:59,840 --> 00:56:01,760
 This this is this is unbelievable

781
00:56:03,139 --> 00:56:08,980
 It's it's just absolutely awesome. Now. I don't know if we have kids here. We might and i'll go on to the next slide

782
00:56:09,920 --> 00:56:11,840
 But we saw that picture of him

783
00:56:13,519 --> 00:56:14,579
 agony and and

784
00:56:15,340 --> 00:56:17,219
 He's actually also joyful

785
00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:19,099
 in the midst of that

786
00:56:19,940 --> 00:56:22,340
 Maybe the next time someone here is doing communion

787
00:56:22,340 --> 00:56:26,539
 They're just going to actually be thinking about his blood poured out and his body broken

788
00:56:26,539 --> 00:56:29,679
 And they're going to think about how he was joyful also

789
00:56:30,280 --> 00:56:31,619
 in the midst of the agony

790
00:56:33,519 --> 00:56:35,340
 It's a miracle. It's an absolute miracle

791
00:56:35,900 --> 00:56:39,519
 And so a couple verses from the new testament the old testament about blood

792
00:56:40,460 --> 00:56:43,820
 Without the shedding of blood. There's no forgiveness of sins

793
00:56:44,539 --> 00:56:47,920
 In leviticus right here talking about how it's the blood

794
00:56:48,700 --> 00:56:50,739
 Right that makes atonement for the soul

795
00:56:51,740 --> 00:56:53,500
 These kinds of

796
00:56:53,500 --> 00:56:55,699
 Of reasons in a sense or connections

797
00:56:56,380 --> 00:57:00,239
 So let me just kind of go here. Um, i'll skip that picture in a moment

798
00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:03,960
 The season we're coming upon

799
00:57:06,099 --> 00:57:07,500
 Remember this is a

800
00:57:07,940 --> 00:57:13,840
 Story that has this redemption thing. There's the death and the resurrection and so forth. Listen in his death

801
00:57:14,500 --> 00:57:19,380
 He took on sin on our behalf and in his resurrection he defeats death

802
00:57:20,759 --> 00:57:23,239
 So that not only would we be able

803
00:57:23,759 --> 00:57:28,780
 To have the miracle of him taking away in that exchange at the cross. Actually, can I get two volunteers?

804
00:57:29,039 --> 00:57:33,460
 Can I can I get the two of you to come on up? Is that right? Um, not only are we getting the miracle

805
00:57:33,960 --> 00:57:34,360
 of

806
00:57:34,360 --> 00:57:36,940
 Of you know this exchange at the cross

807
00:57:36,940 --> 00:57:41,500
 Right he who knew no sin became sin for us

808
00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:44,539
 That we then might become the righteousness of God

809
00:57:45,220 --> 00:57:47,239
 This exchange it's a miracle

810
00:57:47,239 --> 00:57:51,460
 But not only that for those of us by grace who belong to him

811
00:57:51,460 --> 00:57:56,760
 Then can get the power of his resurrection to get applied to our life, you know in the future

812
00:57:56,760 --> 00:58:01,579
 Can you come on over here, sir? Is that right? And can you guys put your arms out like this?

813
00:58:02,079 --> 00:58:04,460
 Okay, they're the two thieves on the cross

814
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:07,800
 Okay, they're the two thieves on the cross

815
00:58:09,380 --> 00:58:11,239
 Now here's the deal

816
00:58:12,519 --> 00:58:13,000
 Um

817
00:58:14,139 --> 00:58:16,940
 We don't know anything about their background except they were both thieves

818
00:58:18,539 --> 00:58:21,820
 They were actually also both hurling curses at Jesus on the cross

819
00:58:23,159 --> 00:58:23,860
 Let's say

820
00:58:24,500 --> 00:58:26,800
 First time this one ever stolen got caught

821
00:58:27,460 --> 00:58:29,320
 Let's say this one got to put your arm up

822
00:58:30,199 --> 00:58:36,980
 Let's say this one stole many times hurts children steals keyboards, I don't know right? Okay, right

823
00:58:37,559 --> 00:58:37,960
 Okay

824
00:58:39,519 --> 00:58:40,780
 One of them though

825
00:58:41,339 --> 00:58:42,559
 had a faith

826
00:58:43,819 --> 00:58:49,460
 Repentance experience one of them actually put their trust that Jesus would be the method right that God was providing

827
00:58:50,839 --> 00:58:53,179
 You know turns and but here's my question for you

828
00:58:53,179 --> 00:58:57,519
 Which one was it that you don't have to raise your hand, but I want you to think let me let me show you in scripture

829
00:58:57,519 --> 00:58:58,159
 What it says?

830
00:58:58,879 --> 00:59:01,400
 Um, think about it while I go look up in scripture

831
00:59:03,039 --> 00:59:03,800
 Which one

832
00:59:05,320 --> 00:59:06,039
 Nothing

833
00:59:07,300 --> 00:59:09,880
 Scripture doesn't say anything about that

834
00:59:10,719 --> 00:59:12,579
 This is beautiful for us

835
00:59:13,440 --> 00:59:21,639
 Because it doesn't matter what is the level or the depth of whatever muck or junk or sin we're coming from

836
00:59:22,480 --> 00:59:27,079
 Right, but the whosoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved

837
00:59:27,079 --> 00:59:30,599
 Right, thank you guys you guys can go sit down

838
00:59:34,259 --> 00:59:38,760
 So so I just want to say I know there's a lot of different songs and items and elements and

839
00:59:38,760 --> 00:59:42,719
 There's a fun thing that we do when we get to the the cup and we're talking about the plagues

840
00:59:42,719 --> 00:59:48,119
 But but I want us to really get into the right the reason and the meaning for the season. So now

841
00:59:48,839 --> 00:59:51,000
 Believe it or not in a normal satyr

842
00:59:51,799 --> 00:59:53,559
 We're not even to the meal yet

843
00:59:53,559 --> 00:59:59,900
 Okay, and we're doing but then we would have the meal so now let's pretend we're having the meal and we're at the very end right here

844
00:59:59,900 --> 01:00:03,219
 And i'm gonna I want to finish with communion in just a moment

845
01:00:03,219 --> 01:00:09,980
 But there are a couple things in the traditional satyr that happen after the meal that are really beautiful to highlight

846
01:00:09,980 --> 01:00:12,420
 That we even see some new testament connection to

847
01:00:13,360 --> 01:00:19,179
 Um, I already mentioned that at the very end we're singing songs and and and hymns and so forth

848
01:00:19,799 --> 01:00:21,260
 But I have a cup here

849
01:00:22,139 --> 01:00:24,219
 This is called the cup of elijah

850
01:00:24,760 --> 01:00:28,400
 Now this is traditionally added and this is a part of every

851
01:00:29,219 --> 01:00:30,840
 satyr every jewish

852
01:00:31,699 --> 01:00:34,420
 You know across the you know across the world

853
01:00:35,500 --> 01:00:40,880
 It's to it was a tradition added to help us think about the messiah and be hopeful for the messiah

854
01:00:40,880 --> 01:00:42,880
 And what it is is that elijah?

855
01:00:43,380 --> 01:00:44,619
 Elijah never died

856
01:00:44,619 --> 01:00:49,260
 He actually was taken up to heaven in the chariot of fire and at the end of the hebrew scriptures

857
01:00:49,260 --> 01:00:55,739
 Malachi the last prophet before like a 400 year kind of gap in time before the new testament writings

858
01:00:56,759 --> 01:00:57,719
 It finishes

859
01:00:58,300 --> 01:01:00,039
 talking about elijah returning

860
01:01:00,820 --> 01:01:06,400
 And that he's going to come before what's called the great and terrible day of the Lord the idea is that he's going to come

861
01:01:06,940 --> 01:01:13,920
 Before the time of the messiah he's a forerunner. He's an announcer before the messiah would come and we would get excited

862
01:01:13,920 --> 01:01:19,440
 A child would go and open up the door and we would come in and look to see if like the juice went down

863
01:01:19,440 --> 01:01:25,880
 You know or not and why would we get excited? Maybe hoping the spirit of elijah might come in

864
01:01:26,420 --> 01:01:29,699
 It's just because if elijah was really there or the spirit of elijah

865
01:01:29,699 --> 01:01:34,019
 We would get pumped because it means the messiah is right on his heels. Does that make sense?

866
01:01:34,280 --> 01:01:40,300
 No, I kid you not I kid you not about a dozen years ago. We're at this part of doing the home satyr

867
01:01:41,259 --> 01:01:42,739
 And there was a knock at the door

868
01:01:42,739 --> 01:01:45,460
 There was a pizza guy

869
01:01:46,760 --> 01:01:52,099
 Like someone from a pizza restaurant handing out menus and yeah, my kids love that all right, so

870
01:01:52,660 --> 01:01:53,519
 But here's the deal

871
01:01:54,260 --> 01:01:55,099
 We add that

872
01:01:55,940 --> 01:02:00,119
 Do you know that scripture actually already tells us in the new testament?

873
01:02:01,739 --> 01:02:05,019
 An angel and yeshua himself

874
01:02:06,639 --> 01:02:09,539
 That someone came as elijah in the spirit of elijah

875
01:02:10,300 --> 01:02:17,159
 It's John John the baptist. What's interesting is this in luke chapter one that angel that comes to

876
01:02:17,699 --> 01:02:22,639
 What would be John the baptist father who was a priest in the temple when he's telling him about this child

877
01:02:22,639 --> 01:02:28,679
 This is one of the things that the angel says in luke one verse 17 talking about John says he will go out

878
01:02:28,679 --> 01:02:36,780
 Ahead of the Lord in the spirit and power of elijah to make ready for the Lord of people prepared

879
01:02:38,380 --> 01:02:39,039
 And

880
01:02:39,039 --> 01:02:39,920
 then in matthew

881
01:02:39,920 --> 01:02:42,599
 One i'm sorry matthew 11 verse 14

882
01:02:42,599 --> 01:02:47,820
 Jesus is teaching about to the disciples about John and one of the things he says about him is

883
01:02:47,820 --> 01:02:54,519
 Indeed if you are willing to accept it. He meaning John is elijah whose coming was predicted

884
01:02:55,380 --> 01:02:59,360
 So here's this extra traditional piece. That's a part of all of our satyrs

885
01:03:00,060 --> 01:03:02,659
 There actually is a new covenant connection

886
01:03:03,580 --> 01:03:05,079
 and fulfillment of it

887
01:03:05,079 --> 01:03:11,260
 It's it's it's it's stunning. It's awesome. It's amazing. Now what I want to do is

888
01:03:12,280 --> 01:03:14,739
 As like a representation for us

889
01:03:14,739 --> 01:03:16,539
 Kind of talk about communion

890
01:03:17,179 --> 01:03:23,980
 So we have here. So let's pretend we're you know getting the afikoman right after us, but we have here the bread

891
01:03:24,759 --> 01:03:25,960
 right the unleavened bread

892
01:03:26,800 --> 01:03:28,400
 And then we're going to take the cup

893
01:03:29,159 --> 01:03:29,719
 after

894
01:03:30,440 --> 01:03:37,099
 After the meal and let me read right here because this is interesting. I know I read it earlier. I want to read from first corinthians 11

895
01:03:37,960 --> 01:03:41,360
 This is another time where paul is talking about this

896
01:03:41,360 --> 01:03:44,239
 Um, that's first corinthians 15 here's 11

897
01:03:45,480 --> 01:03:51,599
 This is actually historically written before the book of luke was written, but this is what paul says

898
01:03:53,000 --> 01:03:57,679
 For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you

899
01:03:58,400 --> 01:04:01,619
 That the Lord yeshua on the same night in which he was betrayed

900
01:04:02,480 --> 01:04:03,739
 He took bread

901
01:04:05,400 --> 01:04:07,019
 When he had given thanks

902
01:04:07,880 --> 01:04:12,699
 And actually i'll just go actually i'll do the blessing afterwards. He broke it

903
01:04:13,280 --> 01:04:17,340
 And said take eat. This is my body which is broken for you

904
01:04:17,340 --> 01:04:19,519
 And do this in remembrance

905
01:04:20,680 --> 01:04:21,579
 Of me

906
01:04:22,360 --> 01:04:25,320
 In the same manner. He also took the cup

907
01:04:27,440 --> 01:04:27,980
 after

908
01:04:27,980 --> 01:04:31,860
 Supper saying this cup is the new covenant in my blood

909
01:04:32,480 --> 01:04:36,599
 This do as often as you drink it in remembrance of me

910
01:04:37,320 --> 01:04:43,559
 For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup you proclaim the Lord's death till he comes

911
01:04:44,280 --> 01:04:46,860
 Right. He's the reason for the season, but let me continue here

912
01:04:47,699 --> 01:04:52,019
 Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner

913
01:04:52,019 --> 01:04:58,440
 Will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. Thankfully this next verse says but let a man or a woman right

914
01:04:59,039 --> 01:05:03,760
 examine himself and so let him eat of the bread

915
01:05:04,420 --> 01:05:06,360
 and drink of the cup

916
01:05:08,519 --> 01:05:13,539
 So i'm going to do the blessing as a representation here and um

917
01:05:15,619 --> 01:05:21,199
 Whether it's even right now in your own heart and at another point in the future just to be thinking

918
01:05:22,019 --> 01:05:26,460
 Whatever aspect it is that God would draw to help us to be that much more grateful for

919
01:05:27,059 --> 01:05:29,780
 Um right for the miracle or forgiveness of sin

920
01:05:30,500 --> 01:05:31,460
 and so

921
01:05:31,460 --> 01:05:35,400
 Baruch atad and I alo heinu melach ha'olam

922
01:05:35,400 --> 01:05:38,619
 hamotse lecha min ha'aretz

923
01:05:39,800 --> 01:05:40,320
 Amen

924
01:05:40,900 --> 01:05:47,679
 Blessed are you Lord our God king of the universe who brings forth bread from the earth and thank you father God that we can take this

925
01:05:48,420 --> 01:05:50,000
 We can do this in remembrance

926
01:05:50,559 --> 01:05:52,619
 Thank you that by your grace

927
01:05:53,640 --> 01:05:54,619
 that um

928
01:05:55,320 --> 01:05:59,900
 You said that that you you would be numbered with the transgressors

929
01:06:00,600 --> 01:06:03,179
 That you would do this on our behalf

930
01:06:04,180 --> 01:06:06,099
 It's a miracle father God

931
01:06:06,800 --> 01:06:09,039
 And I pray that I would give you uh

932
01:06:09,920 --> 01:06:15,480
 Glory and thanksgiving and we do for that in remembrance of you. Amen

933
01:06:29,759 --> 01:06:31,119
 And then um

934
01:06:31,639 --> 01:06:36,539
 I'll just say it because I sang it before but baruch atad and I alo heinu melach ha'olam baray parihah gathan

935
01:06:37,699 --> 01:06:41,619
 Besham yeshua hamashiach in the name of yeshua. Jesus the messiah

936
01:06:42,280 --> 01:06:45,679
 But uh father God, thank you for your blood poured out for us

937
01:06:45,800 --> 01:06:45,980
 Amen

938
01:06:49,440 --> 01:06:51,039
 Thank you for these truths

939
01:06:51,860 --> 01:06:54,039
 Thank you that you became the fulfillment of it

940
01:06:55,059 --> 01:06:59,500
 And that you would even by your grace open up our eyes and our hearts to this

941
01:07:00,179 --> 01:07:05,380
 God I pray you would please have mercy on other people and the way you've had mercy on us on those of us here

942
01:07:05,380 --> 01:07:05,920
 that are saved

943
01:07:06,779 --> 01:07:12,139
 And anyone who's not here that saved God that you would even take this kind of communion time and

944
01:07:12,659 --> 01:07:14,500
 And show yourself to be true

945
01:07:15,800 --> 01:07:17,780
 You know what I am gonna read

946
01:07:19,980 --> 01:07:24,440
 Romans this will be our last verse. Let's go to

947
01:07:36,440 --> 01:07:37,599
 Do romans 10

948
01:07:42,779 --> 01:07:45,920
 Right the word is near you in your mouth and in your heart

949
01:07:46,480 --> 01:07:50,639
 That is the word of faith which we preach that if you confess with your mouth

950
01:07:51,519 --> 01:07:57,840
 The Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead. You will be saved

951
01:07:58,619 --> 01:08:01,059
 For with the heart one believes under righteousness

952
01:08:01,920 --> 01:08:06,659
 And with the mouth confession is made unto salvation for the scripture says

953
01:08:06,659 --> 01:08:10,239
 Whoever believes on him will not be put to shame

954
01:08:11,060 --> 01:08:13,739
 For there is no distinction between jew and greek

955
01:08:14,420 --> 01:08:15,500
 For the same Lord

956
01:08:16,260 --> 01:08:19,140
