play01:12

this prayer for it's in Jesus name we

play01:14

give this prayer amen

play01:16

amen well folks today we are in the

play01:19

fifth and final lesson of unit number

play01:22

two even though we in unit number two

play01:25

unit number two still falls under that

play01:27

overall heading about three months study

play01:30

in this quarter of that of Jesus Is God

play01:34

and we've been talking about how Jesus

play01:35

is God and how we have to have

play01:37

confirmation of it hence this is why the

play01:39

writer has termed every unit confirmed

play01:42

by in unit one you know we Jesus Is God

play01:46

and this is confirmed by his power over

play01:49

death that was five lessons that dealt

play01:51

with Jesus performing Miracles and

play01:53

showing how he had power over death

play01:55

something that no man can do as far as

play01:57

give life put the soul back into the

play01:59

body

play02:00

and to bring the body back to life only

play02:02

Christ himself could do that and this is

play02:04

confirmed in showing that he is God but

play02:06

those Five Lessons was about power over

play02:08

death now we we dealing with Five

play02:11

Lessons or the the last of Five Lessons

play02:12

dealing with how Jesus Is God how that

play02:15

is confirmed is that is by his mighty

play02:17

Miracles the things in which he did the

play02:20

Miracles in which he did the key thing

play02:22

about all these lessons we have

play02:24

discussed is that it's not the miracle

play02:27

really that's the most important factor

play02:28

here of course you have to have the

play02:30

miracle to get to step a to step B but

play02:33

the importance about the miracle is what

play02:35

was the factor what was the underlying

play02:37

reason what was he trying to show us in

play02:39

the end is for this reason Jesus would

play02:42

always say I do this as a sign unto you

play02:45

because you can remember even with not

play02:47

in these lessons but in the Bible he

play02:48

talks about how him and the disciples

play02:51

were walking remember there was a man

play02:53

that was blind and the things they said

play02:55

was why was this man born blind did he

play02:58

sin or did his parent sin that he was

play03:02

born this way and Jesus says neither but

play03:05

he was born this way that the works of

play03:07

God may be what manifested other words

play03:09

that they may be shown and this is why

play03:11

Jesus now did a miracle to show them

play03:13

once again that he was God and in those

play03:16

five lesson we had the first one dealt

play03:18

with Jesus Miracle of turning water into

play03:20

wine now of course you look at the

play03:22

miracle everybody always talks about

play03:24

Jesus turned water into wine you hear

play03:27

that all the time but what they talk

play03:29

about is the miracle of him turning

play03:31

water into wine let me say that again so

play03:34

yall can see where I'm going with this

play03:35

we talk about the miracle of turning

play03:38

water into wine but that wasn't the

play03:41

purpose of the story you remember the

play03:43

very last thing was the most important

play03:45

he could remember he said the beginning

play03:47

my hour has not yet come what has this

play03:49

to do with me but after he did the

play03:51

miracle he says these words and then his

play03:53

disciples began to believe on him the

play03:57

purpose of doing the miracle was to show

play03:58

them that he was God so the most

play04:01

important thing was not the actual

play04:02

Miracle itself it was what he showed

play04:04

them by doing the miracle and even in

play04:07

the second lesson that we dealt with

play04:09

after that one which Di and Bush brought

play04:10

you was Jesus authority over

play04:14

demons this was a miracle Jesus dealt

play04:16

with that which is demonic something I

play04:18

always like to say it this way that's

play04:19

something you don't play with is the

play04:21

Demonic because you're dealing with

play04:23

angels but we're talking about Fallen

play04:25

Angels which man has no power over the

play04:27

Angels the Angels know the power that

play04:29

man has that why Angels do not fear man

play04:32

but you remember Christ he cast them out

play04:34

and Jesus brother said in the writings

play04:36

of James to he says Thou believest in

play04:38

God thus th thou does well he said even

play04:41

the Devils believe but then he added

play04:43

these words and do tremble you know why

play04:45

they tremble they know who Jesus is they

play04:48

know that Jesus Is God When Jesus cast

play04:50

him out he showed us that who he was

play04:53

then we move to our next lesson which

play04:55

dealt with healing on the Sabbath

play04:58

another miracle was done wasn't it

play05:00

Miracles done that Jesus healed a man

play05:02

with a withered hand but we remember the

play05:05

reason why he did this cuz as he was

play05:07

there teaching we going say Sunday

play05:09

school there were those sitting there

play05:11

and the writer says in the other gospels

play05:13

that Jesus looked upon them with anger

play05:15

because of the bitterness of their heart

play05:17

they were there for one reason how can I

play05:20

find something to bring forth an

play05:22

accusation against him therefore Jesus

play05:24

had the man stand forth in the middle of

play05:27

all and then he ask the Pharisees this

play05:29

question

play05:32

what is better to do to heal or you

play05:35

could say or to not heal so let me ask

play05:36

you just one question other words he put

play05:38

them on the spot and then he healed the

play05:39

man but upon healing that man he was

play05:42

showing them that he was God because the

play05:44

Sabbath he said was not made uh man was

play05:47

not made for the Sabbath he said Sabbath

play05:49

was made for man and he said I Am Lord

play05:52

of the Sabbath which showing that he was

play05:54

in control he was in charge showing them

play05:56

once again that he was God then we went

play05:59

to this last last miracle of last week

play06:00

Jesus mighty power and in that

play06:03

particular lesson we know the key thing

play06:05

people talk about is Peter doing what

play06:08

walking on water and you'll hear preach

play06:11

Peter walked on water once again it's

play06:14

the Miracles that everybody ConEd upon

play06:16

but if you look at that particular

play06:18

chapter a whole lot of Miracles took

play06:20

place and Jesus showing his power

play06:22

started first with he's feeding over

play06:24

5,000 every one time with two fish and

play06:26

five loaves of bread we also see Jesus

play06:28

showed his power in that you remember it

play06:30

was Christ who healed people at that

play06:32

particular time and then he s the

play06:34

multitude away Miracles was done then

play06:36

you'll find it was Jesus form a miracle

play06:39

cuz he was the one who walked on the

play06:41

water but we talk about the miracle of

play06:43

Peter who walked on the water but keep

play06:46

in mind Peter did not walk in that water

play06:48

by his own power it was the power of

play06:50

Christ that caused him to walk upon that

play06:51

water what I always like is that Peter

play06:54

sank right how was he

play06:56

[Music]

play06:58

saved by Jesus

play07:00

question how did Jus save

play07:03

him oh there by reaching down think

play07:06

about it you're in the water lady you're

play07:08

sinking Jesus still on the water he

play07:10

reaches down while standing on water and

play07:12

pull you up out the water that's a

play07:14

miracle ending of itself but then

play07:17

another miracle happened as the wind and

play07:19

the waves were upon the ship you

play07:21

remember it toally said to the Fourth

play07:23

Watch of like 3:00 to 6 p.m. in the

play07:24

morning Jesus says not in that gospel

play07:26

but in the other not the gospel he says

play07:28

peace be still

play07:30

and the wind itself stopped and even

play07:32

with that being said another miracle

play07:34

that I would call CU remember they

play07:36

remember they to all night in that storm

play07:39

but the moment Jesus said peace be still

play07:40

they said he looked and they was at the

play07:42

shore all these Miracles had took place

play07:46

and people talk about the Miracles but

play07:48

it's not the Miracles what's most

play07:49

important it's what by him doing the

play07:51

Miracles what he showed us that he was

play07:53

who God with all the Miracles taking

play07:55

place and that same theme continues with

play07:57

today's lesson which deals with healing

play08:00

and

play08:01

what healing and forgiveness you may

play08:05

recall uh in a previous quarter that

play08:08

might have been the Winter quarter

play08:09

remember we had a lesson that talked

play08:11

about it says God honoring families

play08:15

remember that lesson it was God honoring

play08:18

families and I had son to read it

play08:21

backwards and it meant families honoring

play08:24

who honoring God well this particular

play08:28

quarterly theme kind of Falls in that

play08:30

same format we say Jesus is what is God

play08:35

you read it backwards God is you saying

play08:37

the same thing doesn't it today's lesson

play08:40

follows that same theme also today's

play08:43

lesson is entitled

play08:44

healing and what forgiveness but you

play08:48

read it backwards what you get and

play08:51

healing see how they go hand in hand

play08:53

together for healing to take place there

play08:56

has to be forgiveness when forgiveness

play08:58

is put in place

play09:00

it brings about this thing called

play09:01

healing so the two really go hand in

play09:04

hand together but one thing about

play09:06

forgiveness we always look at forgiving

play09:08

others and we're supposed to forgive

play09:09

right I have found in my limited time

play09:13

here now once again who has found this I

play09:16

have found can speak for everybody that

play09:18

one of the hardest things for people

play09:20

sometime to

play09:21

forgive is

play09:23

themselves that's a hard thing that

play09:26

falls under why so many people have so

play09:27

many issues with uh we call it with

play09:29

mental

play09:30

illness forgiveness you know they have

play09:34

let's say committed a wrong the person

play09:37

now or people or whatever's involved has

play09:39

forgiven them but Brenda they still hold

play09:41

that guilt they just can't shake it

play09:44

themselves that it keeps weighing them

play09:45

down and pulling them down they Place

play09:47

stress upon their life because they

play09:49

cannot forgive themselves for what has

play09:50

transpired even though others have

play09:53

forgiven them but that's something they

play09:55

have to come to the realization of they

play09:57

have to get to that point I all say this

play09:59

by your encouragement by let them know

play10:01

you've been forgiven let's move forth

play10:03

forget this thing move forward but

play10:05

that's a hard thing to do now this leads

play10:08

into H don't you throw me off this time

play10:11

that deals with uh forgiveness if it's

play10:13

hard to forgive

play10:14

yourself how much harder to forgive

play10:16

other

play10:18

people some of us go I'm not forgiving

play10:22

them for what they've done we we know it

play10:24

we've been there all of us have been

play10:26

there that forgiveness can be a hard

play10:28

thing to do I would say two of the best

play10:32

examples I have seen of forgiveness is

play10:35

and we talked about this before was once

play10:37

when um a woman's child was murdered and

play10:41

they were in court the man was found

play10:44

guilty they were about to S him but you

play10:46

know in uh many states before cing takes

play10:49

place the family can speak and the

play10:52

mother gets up to speak and basically

play10:54

the mother spoke very well and she

play10:56

seemed to be very sincere about this she

play10:58

forgave the man

play11:00

she forgave him but she also wanted to

play11:01

know that now sentencing is about to

play11:03

take place and there are consequences

play11:06

for your actions but she said she had

play11:09

forgiven them so now that burden was off

play11:11

for her always you know holding this

play11:13

upon of this man killed my child and so

play11:14

Justice had been put in place but she

play11:16

forgave him but now she wanted to know

play11:18

that he to understand this he has now

play11:20

for rest of life live the consequence

play11:22

that's before him but as far as she goes

play11:25

I moved on I'm not allow it to bring me

play11:28

down because I know my child is at now

play11:30

and she moved on from that that my

play11:33

people is forgiveness can all us do that

play11:36

well I can give you one that I know of

play11:38

we had

play11:40

uh there was an issue let say somebody

play11:43

committed a transgression

play11:47

okay you could say there was consequence

play11:49

of those actions right upon this person

play11:53

time goes by those involved said guess

play11:56

what it's time to move on forgiveness

play11:59

had to be put in place forgiveness guess

play12:02

what was put in place and guess what the

play12:05

people moved on but then there came a

play12:09

day where one person want to talk about

play12:12

this thing and they bought it

play12:14

up once again digging in that old bones

play12:18

at the ground you could say and one of

play12:20

the person said these words said let's

play12:22

stop right now so don't you remember we

play12:25

put forgiveness in place about that I

play12:27

moved on I don't want to hear nothing

play12:28

about it

play12:29

and that was that that's what you call

play12:33

forgiveness now of course we have people

play12:35

say these words you forgive but but you

play12:38

don't

play12:39

forget oh yes you can forget you can

play12:42

almost to the point forget it that you

play12:44

don't think about it and what I mean by

play12:46

that certain things we remember certain

play12:47

things we

play12:48

don't everybody can remember a great

play12:50

event that happened in their

play12:52

life but if I ask you what the pastor

play12:54

preached about last week we go we draw a

play12:56

blank something we forget and never come

play13:00

again sometime we have that selective

play13:03

memory and what we remember and what we

play13:06

do not remember but in this case you

play13:08

find the person say now it's time to

play13:10

move on there are certain things you

play13:12

have to put aside but often time when

play13:14

the individual comes forth uh I look at

play13:17

it this way in most cases they when they

play13:19

said I forgive but I won't forget that's

play13:21

a person that haven't forgiven yet

play13:23

because they always still holding that

play13:25

thing sure you can remember it but you

play13:27

don't bring it up you don't talk about

play13:28

it you don't dwell upon it when it comes

play13:30

to your mind you try to just push it out

play13:31

and move forward because as a human it's

play13:33

going to be in your memory but it comes

play13:36

points where you have to grow the point

play13:37

say it's time to move forward this is

play13:39

one of the concepts that Jesus

play13:40

constantly tried to put upon his people

play13:42

that comes a point where you have to

play13:43

forgive and move on even God's word says

play13:47

your sins and iniquities I will remember

play13:48

no more and cast them to into the sea of

play13:51

forgetfulness other words that we never

play13:53

talk about again even God said those

play13:55

very things and we all have some things

play13:57

that we have done that we want to

play13:58

forgive

play13:59

and we want all to forget it too but

play14:02

unfortunately guess what somebody going

play14:04

to bring it back up sooner or later

play14:05

that's just the world that we live in

play14:07

but that can also be a living testimony

play14:09

also said that's what I did back then oh

play14:12

but look what the Lord has brought me

play14:14

now and this lesson continues with that

play14:16

concept today we're dealing with healing

play14:18

and forgiveness we're coming out of the

play14:19

Gospel of Mark the second chapter and of

play14:22

course on many occasions when you come

play14:24

out of Matthew Mark or Luke you'll find

play14:27

that you look at those other Gospels

play14:29

they'll tell a similar story and they

play14:30

will add things that the other one maybe

play14:32

not have had but if you recall from last

play14:34

week lesson um we close with

play14:40

Jesus had now put forth healing am I

play14:44

remember that he came back on the other

play14:46

side of the sea he had bought healing in

play14:48

the place and some things took place and

play14:51

I I had asked a question see if y'all

play14:53

remember I said the question was this I

play14:55

said when Jesus got up in the

play14:56

morning what typically how his day would

play14:59

[Music]

play15:02

start so people all around him the

play15:06

moment his day started he was busy from

play15:09

one point to the next remember last

play15:11

lesson deal about Jesus taking what we

play15:12

call a sabatical a little break a little

play15:14

me time private time went on the

play15:15

mountain to pray because you look look

play15:17

at before that the people always was

play15:19

about him in front of he was always

play15:20

teaching and doing different things that

play15:21

it came a point where it's time now for

play15:23

me to be by myself to talk to my father

play15:26

but his Day always was busy so the

play15:28

leading to this I'm going to show you

play15:29

how his Day always was like this in last

play15:32

week lesson something I didn't bring up

play15:35

but in Matthew I'm look at Matthew 1414

play15:37

if you want to follow along in your

play15:39

Bibles it's going to be very quick but

play15:40

it kind of sets the backdrop of what

play15:42

Jesus always was dealing with each and

play15:45

every day which wasn't a burden for him

play15:47

it was something he enjoyed but as being

play15:49

God but yet fully man there comes a time

play15:51

when he needed some time himself but in

play15:53

Matthew um the 14th

play15:56

chapter it starts off by saying these

play15:58

words in verse 13 when Jesus heard of

play16:01

hid he departed then by ship into a

play16:04

desert plate AP part and when the people

play16:06

had heard thereof they follow him on

play16:09

foot out of what the

play16:11

cities this is when John the Baptist now

play16:13

was buried John has decreased Christ

play16:17

must do what increase Christ Ministry

play16:19

now starts his hour now is at hand where

play16:22

he has to do many miracles and show you

play16:24

that he was God and at this point you

play16:26

find wherever he went the people even

play16:27

followed him it says out of the Cities

play16:30

it says in verse 14 and Jesus went forth

play16:33

and saw a small multitude of

play16:36

people oh once again I got that bad

play16:39

translation let know you guys looking at

play16:41

your Bible I'm glad to see that he said

play16:43

it was a great multitude now multitude

play16:45

means a lot of people anyway right but

play16:47

when it says great that adjective now

play16:50

takes it to a whole new level he said

play16:52

there was a great multitude and he was

play16:54

moved with compassion toward them and he

play16:56

healed what their sick so you have a

play16:59

great multitude of people here Jesus has

play17:02

compassion upon that he now heals their

play17:04

sick and they follow him he says

play17:06

everywhere that he goes but as he does

play17:08

these things and we know last week

play17:10

lesson of how he went along and came

play17:11

toward the end when Jesus now had came

play17:14

back over go down toward the bottom of

play17:16

that chapter it says now in verse 34 and

play17:19

when they were gone over they came into

play17:21

the land of jinat and when the men of

play17:24

that place had knowledge of him other

play17:26

words when they known Jesus was there

play17:28

they sent out into parts of that

play17:32

country oh here we go there you go I got

play17:35

to change my translation people they

play17:36

sent to All That country round about and

play17:39

bought unto him all that were diseased

play17:42

and besought him that he might only

play17:44

touch the H of His Garment and as many

play17:47

as touch were made what perfectly whole

play17:51

so you can see there from morning to

play17:52

even tonight people always were there

play17:54

Jesus constantly stayed busy and in

play17:57

today's last week in Mark 2 but before

play17:59

you get to mark 2 guess what you got to

play18:00

be in Mark 1 in Mark 1 I'm going start

play18:04

the 32nd verse and just hit a couple

play18:05

quick verses here uh I'm not going to

play18:08

deal with how we get to this point but

play18:10

just follow along with this verse it

play18:11

says and at evening when the sun did set

play18:15

they brought unto him all that were

play18:18

diseased and them that were possessed

play18:20

with what

play18:22

Devils when you get into that we Skip by

play18:25

the morning stuff now it's talking about

play18:26

now in the evening they're still

play18:28

bringing people and Jesus still taking

play18:30

care of them it says and those devil in

play18:33

verse 33 says and all the city was

play18:35

gathered together at the

play18:38

door all the city you see how Jesus Fame

play18:41

now has spread John the Baptist is now

play18:44

buried John the Baptist now gone Jesus

play18:47

is now rising up that his Fame is now

play18:49

you could say exploding through all the

play18:50

countryside we read earlier that all in

play18:52

the city what came out great multitudes

play18:55

here you'll find there nobody even room

play18:57

at the door itself and he said he healed

play18:59

them that were sick of diber diseases

play19:01

and cast out many demons and suffered

play19:03

not the Devils to speak because they

play19:05

knew him well if you go along a little

play19:08

further than this there's a man that was

play19:10

a

play19:11

leper okay he had leprosy Jesus heals

play19:14

him and Jesus tells him these words

play19:16

after he heals him it says in verse 43

play19:20

and he straightway charged him and forth

play19:22

with sent him away to go and see the

play19:23

priest and all and he said to see thou

play19:26

say nothing this Jesus said to any man

play19:29

but go thy way so what did Jesus say to

play19:32

this

play19:33

man don't you tell nobody anything about

play19:36

this you just go he said he said don't

play19:39

tell nobody anything but go thy way

play19:41

following the orders of purification

play19:43

says these words show thyself to the

play19:45

priest and offer for thy cleansing those

play19:48

things which Moses commanded for a

play19:50

testimony unto them Jesus tell by

play19:53

anything but guess what happens but it

play19:56

says he went out and began to is much

play19:59

and to blaze abroad the

play20:02

matter times have changed haven't they

play20:05

Jesus told him don't say a word and this

play20:07

man told everybody today we said tell

play20:10

everybody about Jesus everybody be quiet

play20:12

you know and also upon that this man a

play20:16

leper they know he a

play20:18

leper Daniel cleans you don't have to

play20:21

say a word cuz you you're now consider

play20:23

to be a living testimony plus also you

play20:27

know there's many FS why sometimes Jesus

play20:28

said tell and sometime you said don't

play20:31

tell but we don't have time to go into

play20:32

all these things at this point Jesus

play20:34

said don't tell anybody anything because

play20:37

it'll cause an issue I'm not g to say a

play20:39

problem but it'll cause a concern here

play20:40

and look what happens it says here and

play20:42

he went out and began to publish it much

play20:45

and to bra braze abroad the matter in so

play20:48

much that Jesus could no more openly ENT

play20:52

into that

play20:54

City you follow him what he's saying

play20:56

here he's don't tell about anything CU

play20:58

When he told him guess

play20:59

what now so many people I I I can't do

play21:02

nothing here you know you caused too

play21:04

much to go on that he has to move away

play21:06

he says that once again in so much that

play21:09

Jesus could no more openly enter into

play21:11

that City but were without in a desert

play21:14

place and they came to him from a few

play21:18

quarters every quarter so guess what the

play21:21

city was so packed that Jesus said oh

play21:22

you cause problem now now have to go out

play21:24

into the open field into the deserts and

play21:27

guess what everybody came from every

play21:29

quarter so sometimes Jesus like just

play21:31

keep it quiet let's just take care of

play21:33

this matter that's here at hand but all

play21:35

that led into guess what where we at now

play21:38

Jesus just had to deal with people

play21:39

constantly again and again and again to

play21:41

that point and now Jesus has to leave

play21:43

that area of Galilee and go somewhere

play21:45

else and where did he go and again he

play21:47

ented into Capernaum after some days

play21:51

what he says he went into this place

play21:52

called Capernaum he's not that far from

play21:54

where he was at took him a few days go

play21:55

from this a of Galilee to that of

play21:57

Capernaum

play21:59

M it makes you wonder it makes you

play22:01

wonder and the the contrast I draw

play22:04

between them and Christ is that these

play22:07

individuals was you I don't think you

play22:09

hit upon the part about how they

play22:10

sometime heal but I always say why is it

play22:13

that they only going to preach God's

play22:15

word in these big venues stadiums and so

play22:19

on you see at Brown R you're not can see

play22:23

him in Nazarene they only go to the

play22:25

giant places whereas with Christ

play22:28

everywhere he went he preached be it hey

play22:31

I can't preach this city guess where I'm

play22:32

going out to this field in the desert I

play22:34

can't preach here where I'm going do I'm

play22:36

going go into this little Mount and

play22:37

stand where people can see me so many

play22:39

people on the shore I can't preach to

play22:40

him he would get in a boat and said

play22:41

Float me under the water a little ways

play22:42

let me talk to the people there and then

play22:44

as he would walk by the roadways guess

play22:46

what he would teach and preach the whole

play22:48

time there you remember even after his

play22:50

resurrection when he met the two

play22:52

disciples in the roads to emus remember

play22:54

they said did not a hot burn within us

play22:56

while he walk with us and talk with us

play22:58

by the way open to us thus sayith the

play22:59

scripture other words Jesus took every

play23:01

opportunity he had to reach the people

play23:04

whereas many today is I'll reach him but

play23:06

you have to come to this particular

play23:07

place and that's the only place that you

play23:09

can come to it's like one time I had a

play23:12

person talking about churches in the

play23:14

talking about church

play23:15

Hopper know what a church Hopper

play23:20

is well in this case this person really

play23:25

this how you educate folks they want a

play23:27

church Hopper okay okay what it was

play23:30

is I said a church Hopper typically

play23:33

soone to go from church to church to

play23:34

church to church to church to church

play23:36

they may be a member of a church but

play23:37

they always had a different church

play23:38

church church you call that church

play23:39

hopping which may be nothing wrong with

play23:41

that because you're still serving God

play23:43

but you should be connected with some

play23:44

body of Believers I said now when you

play23:47

have somebody who's at a church where

play23:49

this person was but they didn't want to

play23:51

go to this church because they said if I

play23:52

go there I'm Church hopping I said no

play23:54

that's called

play23:55

fellowship and the problem with that is

play23:57

if you believe that if you know Church

play23:59

you're going church hopping and that's

play24:01

not Fellowship what you're saying

play24:02

literally is this you're not saying it

play24:04

publicly but you're saying God only

play24:06

comes to your church because you said if

play24:08

I go there that's that's bad that's

play24:09

Church hopping I can only go to my

play24:11

church well God goes to every Church

play24:13

he's at every church but what I'm

play24:15

getting at by saying that statement is

play24:17

this is what Jesus did he taught every

play24:20

moment that was possible to reach the

play24:21

people this is why he's such a large

play24:23

following you find that people wasn't

play24:25

waiting at the synagogue they weren't

play24:27

waiting at the temple for him wherever

play24:28

he was that's where he met them and

play24:30

that's where he met them but as we see

play24:34

here it says again he entered to

play24:36

capernum makes a big difference here

play24:39

Jesus had reached a situation where

play24:40

guess what he has to leave this place

play24:41

now and go back to I call it

play24:43

headquarters because most of Jesus

play24:45

ministry took place in this place known

play24:47

at Capernaum and after a few days he

play24:49

arrived there and it said it was noise

play24:51

that he was in the house that's a pretty

play24:54

I guess simple explanation what do it

play24:55

mean but he was noise that he was in the

play24:57

house

play25:00

H uh I wouldn't say it was praising him

play25:03

but what do you mean by when they say it

play25:05

was noise that he was in the

play25:07

house basically it was announced word

play25:10

went out guess who's in town they noised

play25:13

it Jesus is in town so no matter where

play25:15

he went he couldn't get away from the

play25:17

crowd but he wasn't trying to get away

play25:18

from the crowd he was trying to get

play25:20

situation where more he can reach the

play25:21

people in the capacity in which he was

play25:23

placed in at this point we don't have

play25:25

any background information but you know

play25:27

Jesus always said this foxes have holes

play25:29

birds have nests but the son of man has

play25:32

nowhere to lay his head he when he sent

play25:33

the disciples out he said you to have to

play25:35

rely on the generosity of others because

play25:37

obviously now he's in somebody's house

play25:39

that he's been invited to and basically

play25:41

he's having you could say somewhat

play25:43

church now in this particular house it

play25:46

said it was noise that he was in the

play25:47

house it say and straight way many were

play25:51

gathered together in so much that there

play25:54

was no room to receive them so not so

play25:57

much as about to do

play25:59

door so where it was at was a packed

play26:01

house wasn't it it was standing room

play26:05

only why we have to ask this question

play26:08

like

play26:09

why there you go dick Jones said that he

play26:12

taught with power and authority they

play26:15

said they was astonished and amazed the

play26:16

way which you brought the word that

play26:17

basically brought everyone out now keep

play26:19

in mind I want everybody out there to

play26:20

hear what they what what you want to

play26:22

hear they had different reasons but

play26:24

majority they wanted to hear what Jesus

play26:26

had to say CU this man broke the word

play26:29

down to him to the point that everywhere

play26:30

he went it was what kind of a house it

play26:33

was a packed

play26:34

house oh how times have

play26:38

changed we just talk about mega churches

play26:40

Haven we well let's get off the mega

play26:42

churches let's go a little

play26:44

smaller what we at

play26:47

today we in church but we a brown girl

play26:54

right thank you De

play26:56

Anthony what shouldn't this be

play26:59

packed in Jesus day hearing the word of

play27:02

Jesus everybody came out it should be

play27:05

packed house it should be what standing

play27:07

room

play27:08

only let me get a little trivial

play27:10

question here let's say this Sanctuary

play27:13

right should be packed shouldn't it we

play27:16

have Sunday school not only just Sunday

play27:17

school it's a worship service Sunday

play27:19

School part of worship we're worshiping

play27:20

God by coming out and collecting his

play27:22

word how many people you think can fit

play27:24

in the

play27:25

sanctuary I heard numbers all over place

play27:27

over the years just just think about it

play27:29

let's say comfortable okay I'm not

play27:31

talking about people sitting in Millie's

play27:32

lap and all this kind of stuff you know

play27:34

we talking about sitting in the pews how

play27:36

many people they can fit in the

play27:38

sanctuary I hear 200 150

play27:44

[Music]

play27:46

170 250 in the sanctuary

play27:52

here I ain't talking nobody's size today

play27:58

well let me give you an idea you talking

play28:00

about pack packing the house this s

play28:04

typically can hold com about 140 people

play28:08

you just do the math we got 35 pews

play28:10

cting these two pews if you look you to

play28:12

put comp of four people on a Pew you can

play28:15

put five maybe six if you want to sit

play28:17

all like this but if you put four people

play28:19

in in in these pews it's 40 people can

play28:24

sit right here our chir stand has 24

play28:28

seats up there see like 164 we got five

play28:31

in the pole pit so roughly about as di

play28:34

Jones said about 170 is what you can put

play28:36

in here how many you think we got in

play28:38

here

play28:41

today you can pull your shoes off and

play28:42

start counting if you

play28:44

like not manying nowhere near that

play28:47

number if we were to take all you guys

play28:49

there and put you in these pews you may

play28:51

line up to R about here that's

play28:55

it but everybody says they're

play28:57

God-fearing folks

play29:00

that's like Faith you know faith is not

play29:03

action but it's seen by your action you

play29:08

follow me it's seen by it many people

play29:11

profess Christ but when it comes to this

play29:13

great day as BR and I had a conversation

play29:15

this morning about the Sabbath day a day

play29:17

of rest a day of worship where you take

play29:19

a rest from the TOs of your labor you

play29:21

would think God's house would be

play29:23

packed what would Jesus say today often

play29:27

time we hear doing Martin Luther King

play29:28

birthday they said what would Martin

play29:29

Luther King say today when you look at

play29:31

the

play29:32

state African-Americans and blacks and

play29:35

so on what would Jesus do right now if

play29:37

he was standing right before you and

play29:39

looking at his

play29:42

body make sure Wonder but here you find

play29:45

during his time guess what it was a

play29:47

packed house it say and straightway many

play29:50

were gathered together in so much that

play29:52

there was no room to receive them not uh

play29:55

no not so much as about the door and he

play29:58

preached the word unto

play30:00

them this is why they came or this is

play30:04

why they should have came now keep in

play30:05

mind the Miracles showed you who he was

play30:08

but Jesus wasn't there about the

play30:09

Miracles Jesus always talk about doing

play30:11

one thing what

play30:13

preaching preaching the word because man

play30:15

was so concentrated so much on healing

play30:18

this

play30:19

body but what's beyond this body the

play30:22

spirit that's the most important thing

play30:24

that is to save your soul because you

play30:26

look at let's say everybody lives 110

play30:28

years old that's a long time isn't it

play30:31

well there ain't nothing compared to

play30:33

Eternity that's nothing compared to it

play30:35

so put so much time energy into these

play30:36

bodies but how much more for our souls

play30:39

you know folks say I'm going to the gym

play30:41

I'm G do this I'm G to do that and do

play30:42

all these things but you going to church

play30:44

to exercise your spiritual Soul no I'm

play30:46

not going to church today but I'm

play30:48

worried about this physical thing but

play30:50

Jesus want to know this thing of healing

play30:51

forgiveness goes far beyond the physical

play30:54

because this why he says and they came

play30:55

unto him bringing one sick of the py

play30:58

which was born a fo what we move to now

play31:01

is that Jesus in the house is packed

play31:05

nobody can get in it's standing room

play31:07

only and as they come you'll find that

play31:09

there's also a group that comes with a

play31:12

man that's sick of the py basically he

play31:14

had some sort of paralysis where he

play31:16

couldn't walk move or whatever it may be

play31:18

but he couldn't function as they could

play31:20

that he needed assist he needed help

play31:22

during this time they didn't have

play31:23

electric wheelchairs and scooters and

play31:25

things like that you had to rely on the

play31:27

generosity of who of others you want to

play31:30

go anywhere guess what somebody got to

play31:32

help you out I heard a preacher preach

play31:34

one time powerfully about these four

play31:35

people he said they was good friends

play31:37

they said we took our friend down to see

play31:39

this man Jesus because they had to carry

play31:41

you the Bible sometimes said pick up

play31:44

that bed or someone say pick up that

play31:46

cart let me tell you was it was a stre

play31:47

it was a stretcher that's what it was

play31:49

they would grab you two in the front two

play31:50

in the back and they would car you

play31:52

everywhere that you needed to go this

play31:54

was friends doing this you know today's

play31:56

world some of us need a ride we going

play31:58

time stop my car fo with you you know

play32:00

but think what they're doing they're

play32:01

carrying this man to see Jesus and

play32:03

they're carrying there for what

play32:05

reason to be healed but for them to be

play32:08

healed they have to have what faith so

play32:11

shows these people had faith that I'm

play32:12

going down here to be healed of this

play32:14

individual but as it go forth it said

play32:16

when they verse four says and when they

play32:19

could not come n unto him for the Press

play32:23

they uncovered the roof where he was and

play32:25

when they had broken it up they let down

play32:27

the the bed wearing the sick of the

play32:28

poles he lay the other of gospel

play32:31

described the roof as being clay towels

play32:33

and they moved their towels and so on

play32:34

from there but what we want to

play32:36

concentrate upon is how they got there

play32:37

because of the press because of the

play32:39

crowd we can't get in it's one thing to

play32:42

try to squeeze through people yourself

play32:43

to get in it's quite another they have a

play32:45

man on the stretcher you're trying to

play32:46

get in that they couldn't get

play32:48

there which let us know they wanted to

play32:50

get to

play32:51

who they had an obstacle place before

play32:53

them right did he allow the obstacle to

play32:56

stop them no no sometimes you have to

play32:58

press forward you know you might want to

play33:00

get to Christ but there things going to

play33:02

be in your way so-called friends going

play33:04

to be in your way so-called Lifestyles

play33:06

be in your way but those things you have

play33:07

to move out of your way or move random

play33:09

to get to where it is you need to be I

play33:11

always like it we talk about

play33:12

Resurrection Sunday remember when the

play33:14

ladies were going to the tomb and as

play33:17

they was nearing the tomb they were

play33:18

talking about going to the tomb and then

play33:20

they brought up this one big thing they

play33:22

say you know there's a stone in front of

play33:23

that

play33:25

tomb a one ton two 2,000 lb Stone in

play33:28

front of their tomb but guess what they

play33:31

kept on walking they didn't stop they

play33:33

didn't turn around they said well I

play33:34

guess we're going to deal with that when

play33:35

we get to it other words they wanted to

play33:36

get to Christ but they did not let what

play33:38

the obstacles lie before them hinder

play33:40

their progress they still press forward

play33:42

these men have got there now oh it's a

play33:44

packed house I can't even get inside

play33:45

this building oh they got to be a away

play33:48

and what do they do some kind of a way

play33:50

they get the man up on the roof and they

play33:53

break through the roof can you imagine

play33:55

remember how many people was at this

play33:57

house let just say the church how many

play33:59

people was there packed that you

play34:02

couldn't even come through the

play34:03

door just imagine now this is going on

play34:06

here let's say at this house it's packed

play34:08

right can't get in all a sudden D Jones

play34:12

you start to see towel fall at the

play34:14

ceiling you know see see we don't get

play34:16

all that setting we have to visualize

play34:17

what was going on here A packed house as

play34:19

Christ is preaching remember he's famous

play34:21

everybody want to hear him and out of

play34:23

nowhere you're like what the

play34:25

world somebody's coming through the roof

play34:27

and then guess what here's this man

play34:28

being lowered down prbly by ropes raped

play34:31

before Christ it said when they had

play34:33

broken down where and the sick of verse

play34:35

four again and when they could not come

play34:36

down to him for the Press they uncovered

play34:39

the roof where he was and when they had

play34:41

broken it up they let down the man when

play34:43

in the sick of the PO lay and when Jesus

play34:45

saw their faith see what he says he saw

play34:49

their faith he saw their faith he said

play34:52

unto the sick of the py son thy sins be

play34:54

forgiven thee so you TI the other son

play34:57

out the gos you a little bit more

play34:58

information what's going on here you

play35:00

think about this what would we say today

play35:03

a service like this was going on and

play35:04

somebody come through the

play35:06

roof what would our concentration be we

play35:09

said

play35:12

run all the laws don't clear the door M

play35:14

coming

play35:16

through you know what we say about

play35:18

something like

play35:18

[Music]

play35:20

that I mean think about I guess let me

play35:23

get a little little h of

play35:24

myself this a packed house

play35:28

man is preaching here's a man we got to

play35:30

remember he's sick right he's had some

play35:33

point of paralysis the man are Lo him

play35:35

there down through right here while I

play35:39

packed house going what we say we would

play35:41

say you don't get this Foods out of here

play35:43

you don't drag them about what y'all

play35:44

think y'all doing but see Jesus looked

play35:46

beyond that he could see that guess what

play35:48

that was a reason that these men at no

play35:51

cost was going to leave here today

play35:52

without their friend being healed so

play35:55

they went to Great cost I'm not talking

play35:57

about put the the man on the PO I'm

play35:58

looking at his friends too his friends

play36:00

said oh no we we have we have to do

play36:01

something about this they said we going

play36:03

through the roof people can say what

play36:04

they want to say but we could do what we

play36:06

can for you upon this day because all

play36:08

those folks in there or they G get them

play36:09

walk out of here but you're not walking

play36:11

out we have to do something here to help

play36:14

you out so they bring him down through

play36:15

this and Jesus sees their face oh these

play36:17

some powerful Brothers

play36:19

here and once again Faith you find is

play36:23

not action but it's seen by your action

play36:27

because as Jesus gets to there we we

play36:28

going to speed up to get to some moment

play36:30

you know anybody can say they have

play36:32

faith but you don't see it until you see

play36:35

some action placed behind it and here

play36:38

Jesus sees what was going on he sees

play36:40

that these brothers had dropped this man

play36:42

down and said when Jesus saw their faith

play36:45

which means they believed in him they

play36:47

belied that he could bring forth healing

play36:49

now did they know he was a Christ at

play36:51

this point probably not CU remember

play36:52

Jesus had just came on the scene but

play36:55

everybody had enough knowledge and

play36:57

understanding didn't know as Nicodemus

play36:59

even said no man can do these Miracles

play37:01

unless what unless God be with him so

play37:04

they had faith and beleving that let's

play37:06

say God could heal but here's a tricky

play37:08

part about this whole situation they

play37:09

have faith that God could heal right

play37:12

what's our

play37:13

theme for the quarter no that's title

play37:16

lesson what's our theme for the

play37:19

quarter Jesus Is God so they looking as

play37:22

God can heal us right but Jesus Is God

play37:26

like I was asked a question it says that

play37:27

you only save by your belief in

play37:32

who there we go that what we hear you

play37:35

know in our present day Christianity

play37:36

we're going to be saved by believing in

play37:38

who believing in Jesus Christ right no

play37:41

man come to the father but by me you

play37:43

know you have to believe in Christ to

play37:44

get to God the question was well what

play37:46

about people before

play37:49

Christ what about Abraham what about

play37:52

Isaac and all those folks and Moses and

play37:54

I mean you go through the whole list all

play37:56

the people before Christ right they said

play37:59

well how does it say you only can can be

play38:00

saved by believing in in

play38:03

Christ

play38:05

Bingo they had God to believe in Jesus

play38:09

is God in the order of Trinity God is

play38:11

Jesus so a lot of believe in that they

play38:13

were fine but the New Testament that was

play38:15

a new testimony in his blood the Old

play38:17

Testament was cast you know that's

play38:18

another whole story all together there

play38:20

but here you'll find that by their faith

play38:22

and belief that God can heal these men

play38:25

went forth and Jesus could see this and

play38:26

Jesus said these words when Jesus saw

play38:28

that Faith he said unto the sick of the

play38:30

py son thy sins be what be forgiven

play38:36

thee now what we said it that like my

play38:39

sins look I can't walk the first thing I

play38:42

need to do is make me walk Jesus was

play38:44

showing the most important thing is your

play38:45

salvation your spiritual Soul when Jesus

play38:48

saw that you said thy sins be forgiven

play38:51

thee other words only Jesus now can

play38:53

forgive sins and he gives these words it

play38:56

says but there we

play38:59

go there's that butt go like I said

play39:02

every

play39:04

cookout every cook up Lise you got a

play39:06

food there don't you somebody GNA act up

play39:10

you have the reception somebody act the

play39:12

fol spoil a party for everybody here's a

play39:15

good thing going on the house is packed

play39:17

Jesus is there they get this uh I call

play39:20

it right now excitement going on what in

play39:22

the world do man and come down through

play39:23

the roof and Jesus said thy sins be

play39:25

forgiven thee everybody like w look at

play39:27

this but things going to change a little

play39:31

bit here there were certain of the

play39:33

scribes sitting

play39:34

there mind you when everywhere Jesus

play39:36

went keep mind his Fame was jumping up

play39:39

and who was the shall we say the key

play39:41

religious folks of that

play39:43

time the key religious people of that

play39:45

time you know scribes Pharisees they

play39:49

were Sadducees you know scribes called

play39:52

lawyers too the same folks they were the

play39:54

religious I call sometime Authority that

play39:56

everybody looked up to them for what it

play39:58

was they brought forth what they taught

play39:59

especially especially the scribes they

play40:02

were called The Lawyers of of the word

play40:04

they were there just keep in mind a new

play40:07

man is coming to scene preaching

play40:09

something that's said with power and

play40:10

authority not as who as the scribes so

play40:13

they like wait a minute who is this man

play40:14

we got to check him out but they were

play40:16

there for their own reasons here but it

play40:18

says certain the scribes and keep in

play40:20

mind it says certain of the scribes what

play40:23

is that talk about as a whole to a

play40:26

certain extent you say certain of them

play40:29

it's talking about everybody right see

play40:31

why I keep that in check because

play40:32

sometime we generalize and put everybody

play40:34

in the same category just because many

play40:37

or most of them were against Christ

play40:38

doesn't mean all of them are there but

play40:40

they say we had a certain group over

play40:41

here that were there and it says

play40:45

here uh certain of the scribes were

play40:47

sitting there and reasoning in their

play40:50

hearts other words they're rationalizing

play40:52

they were thinking this thing out you

play40:53

know it wasn't just a spirit of moment

play40:54

thing they were saying they're thinking

play40:55

about this to themselves

play40:57

okay they read but there was certain of

play41:00

the scribes sitting there reasoning in

play41:02

the heart why does this man thus speak

play41:05

blasphemy who can forgive sins but God

play41:09

Alone Now they didn't say

play41:12

anything but they were thinking it but

play41:14

the thing about this thing is Jesus know

play41:16

what you're thinking remember earlier

play41:19

when Jesus was teaching the Sunday

play41:20

School CL we taught about last week it

play41:22

said that Jesus looked upon them with

play41:24

anger because of the bitterness of their

play41:26

hearts other words he know what they

play41:27

thinking what they were saying do people

play41:30

always have to talk before you know

play41:31

what's on their

play41:32

mind sometime you say a word but we

play41:34

already know what you're talking about

play41:36

and you find out often times you're

play41:37

situation like this packed house right

play41:40

you got your own

play41:41

thoughts but you don't have your own

play41:43

mouth because you won't say a word but

play41:46

you get outside oh you got all the mouth

play41:48

in the world all the mouth now this is

play41:51

just scripture I'm giving you okay this

play41:53

just scripture here it says here they

play41:55

reasoning in their hearts Jesus know way

play41:58

is that

play41:59

thinking but they won't say it out loud

play42:01

but they want to cause trouble for Jesus

play42:03

down the road because remember after he

play42:05

heal that man that withed hand remember

play42:06

last week what they say they wanted to

play42:08

do how can we kill this man I think it

play42:12

was Matthew say how can we destroy this

play42:13

man other words we got to get rid of him

play42:15

he has to go but these are the ones that

play42:17

don't say a word but they got their own

play42:18

thoughts going on but it said but why

play42:21

does this man speak of L who can forgive

play42:23

sins but God alone and truly in their

play42:26

teach in as we know only God truly can

play42:29

forgive sins but the order of our theme

play42:32

Jesus is who he has that Authority the

play42:35

father has given him yet all authority

play42:37

has been placed upon him now also keep

play42:41

in mind too they look this man as a

play42:43

sinner in their culture is that only God

play42:46

can forgive it and also too only God can

play42:47

heal you because they looked at it this

play42:49

way and we time to go into it deep

play42:51

enough is that anytime you were going

play42:53

through some Calamity or some sickness

play42:54

in your life had come upon you we don't

play42:56

know why because you did something wrong

play42:59

you committed a sin so God was now

play43:01

punishing you this is why Jesus going to

play43:03

show in a minute here about how also can

play43:05

heal because if God has put this thing

play43:07

upon you who can take it off you but

play43:10

we'll get to that as we go along it says

play43:12

and immediately when Jesus perceived in

play43:14

his what spirit that they so reason

play43:18

within themselves he said unto them why

play43:21

reason you do things in your

play43:24

hearts remember the other week when

play43:26

Jesus had that man man with the withered

play43:27

hand come forth he say stand in the

play43:30

midst it says as he stood in the midst

play43:32

of all the people then he turned to the

play43:34

Pharisees and says let me ask you one

play43:36

thing that's called calling somebody out

play43:39

right that's what it is it's simple as

play43:41

that it's calling them out here Jesus

play43:43

does the same exact thing it says and

play43:45

immediately other words he didn't

play43:46

procrastinate with it there was a

play43:48

problem there was an issue it needs to

play43:49

be addressed it need to be talked about

play43:51

here you have a crowd you won't say what

play43:53

you want to say but I know it is you're

play43:54

thinking it says immediately when Jesus

play43:56

proceeded spirit that they so reason

play43:58

within themselves he said to them why

play44:00

reason you the things in your

play44:02

hearts other words he put forth that

play44:04

question not to the crowd to those

play44:08

scribes that were there other words why

play44:09

are you thinking this way so now it's

play44:12

what an opportunity to educate not only

play44:14

them but everybody in the room because

play44:16

by his Miracle he's doing but one thing

play44:18

in the end showing you what showing you

play44:20

showing he's God the whole purpose of

play44:23

this theme is Jesus showing you that

play44:24

Jesus is God and it says verse 9 whether

play44:28

is easier other words what is easier to

play44:30

say to the sick of the py thy sins be

play44:33

forgiven then or to say arise and take

play44:36

up thy bed and

play44:38

walk valid question isn't it what's

play44:41

easier to tell this person here guess

play44:43

what I forgive you your

play44:45

sins which he said to them anybody can

play44:48

say that really you can say it but all

play44:50

your sins forgiven you don't know cuz

play44:52

anybody can say it he said

play44:54

or rise up and walk do this goes back to

play44:57

their thinking that only God can heal

play44:59

also because if you're in the situation

play45:01

of that of you of paralysis oh you done

play45:03

something wrong and sin is upon you now

play45:06

if I healed you that means I forgive you

play45:07

of your sins and lifted you up now the

play45:10

people this time might not understand

play45:12

that but the scribes did you know why

play45:14

they were educated they knew the laws

play45:17

and what Jesus was going at here but

play45:18

they couldn't speak a word because he

play45:20

knew he had checkm upon them he says

play45:22

what it easier to say to the sick of the

play45:25

py thy sins be forgiven in thee or to

play45:28

say arise and take up thy bed and walk

play45:30

but that you may know that the son of

play45:33

man have power on Earth to forgive sins

play45:36

see Jesus didn't give a chance even

play45:37

answer a question because they couldn't

play45:38

answer a question so Jesus said just so

play45:40

you know this thing that the son of man

play45:43

have power on Earth to forgive sins he

play45:46

said to the one sick of the py I say

play45:49

unto thee arise and take up thy bed and

play45:53

go thy way into thine house

play45:57

notice how Jesus I love when when he

play45:59

does these type of healings he doesn't

play46:00

take land the mud and put on your eyes

play46:02

and say a few words he doesn't even

play46:05

really pick the person up as he's

play46:07

talking to them he said get

play46:09

up that's what he says to the man he

play46:11

says to him get up he said thy sins be

play46:13

forgiven I send thee arise take up thy

play46:15

bed and go into thy house that was all

play46:18

he said and then it says sometime later

play46:23

he arose oh once again this bad

play46:25

translation I got here when he spoke it

play46:28

says

play46:29

immediately they had to send him to no

play46:30

shelter on for no therapy he had to do

play46:33

any exercises or take any pills Jesus

play46:35

said get

play46:37

up remember who bought the bed

play46:41

there his friends bought it did he tell

play46:43

his friends take the bed up he told that

play46:45

man get up you take your bed and go on

play46:48

back home plain and simple that's what

play46:50

he says me it's scripture right before

play46:52

he said immediately he arose took up the

play46:55

bed and went forth before them all in so

play46:58

much that they were all amazed and

play47:01

glorify

play47:03

God see the purpose in the

play47:05

miracle now sure it's great this man is

play47:08

healed but the bigger thing is the man

play47:10

is healed they turn from him and they

play47:11

turn to God and they gave God the glory

play47:14

for what was just done immediately

play47:17

before them all saying we have never s

play47:19

on this fashion what that is in our

play47:22

present day is this I ain't never seen

play47:23

nothing like this they say I went to

play47:25

church today and you w believe what

play47:27

happened we was in there having a good

play47:29

time listen to the word Tommy Billy Bob

play47:31

and Frank them fools came through the

play47:33

roof of the church and they bought in

play47:35

Frank you remember he can't walk well

play47:37

guess what this man Jesus said get up

play47:40

take your bed and go on back home and he

play47:41

got up and went on back home keep in

play47:44

mind the man didn't say a thing did he

play47:46

he didn't have to give testimony because

play47:48

now this man who was paralyzed who could

play47:51

not walk now took up his bed and he was

play47:53

a walking he was a living testimony for

play47:56

everyone else this is why many times

play47:58

Jesus said don't tell nobody nothing

play48:01

they going to see it for themselves I to

play48:03

go back to to when he was B before caias

play48:05

and they says what is it that thou spoke

play48:07

to these people and Jesus said what I

play48:09

say I'm paraphrasing Jesus what has I

play48:11

said unto them ask all these people hear

play48:13

what I said because he just showed them

play48:16

and what they said he did they smacked

play48:17

him in his face for it he said these are

play48:19

my Witnesses you ask me a valid

play48:21

question this is the life that he led so

play48:24

kind of remember those thing when when

play48:25

that subject matter comes up again

play48:27

the man didn't say a word he was a

play48:29

living testimony cuz we put a couple

play48:31

couple people there

play48:33

right you get the point now we have seen

play48:36

things happen two people see it right

play48:38

that afternoon everybody know about it

play48:41

right here's a little different

play48:43

everybody's here now nobody has to

play48:45

spread the word because guess what

play48:47

everybody saw it for themselves Jesus

play48:50

only performed the Miracles for one

play48:52

purpose to show you this he said I do

play48:54

this as a sign unto you that you may yet

play48:58

know but the bad part of this whole

play49:00

thing de with these scribes and

play49:01

Pharisees they would see this right

play49:03

before their very eyes see it like

play49:05

everybody else would see it and know

play49:06

they would say how can we kill his man

play49:09

so he has to go if I had time I could go

play49:11

through scripture after scripture where

play49:12

show we say how must we or how can we

play49:14

destroy this man how can we kill him it

play49:17

even said from this day forth they put

play49:19

plans and action that they may destroy

play49:21

him always even though everyone else saw

play49:24

the Miracles right before them but I

play49:26

going tell you this and we'll close this

play49:28

note the world was just as blind all

play49:30

those people hauling Jesus Jesus Jesus

play49:32

oh boy from a one day to the ncks

play49:34

everybody was saying crucifying just

play49:37

that quick so they're in the same

play49:38

situation the Pharisees and the scribes

play49:40

themselves were but yet Jesus still

play49:42

carried forth his mission to show you

play49:44

but one thing as the scripture says that

play49:46

Jesus is God and deal the thing we call

play49:48

the Trinity now that end the lesson for

play49:51

today now next week lesson just show you

play49:53

something here next week lesson is

play49:56

actually the sun greater than Angels

play49:59

come in a book of

play50:01

Hebrews read that and study it now what

play50:04

did I just say to do what with that

play50:06

lesson read it and studying then

play50:09

following that that's another lesson

play50:11

okay that lesson is coming out of

play50:14

Revelation the lamb worthy of worship

play50:18

please read that one and guess what

play50:20

study it because next week we're not

play50:23

having Sunday school typically we would

play50:25

have Sunday school on Mother's Day

play50:27

because many times we have breakfast at

play50:29

8 but I've always well a couple years

play50:31

earlier than that I noticed that we had

play50:33

finished breakfast before 9: and people

play50:35

were standing around for another hour

play50:36

waiting for service to start so we would

play50:38

always have Sunday school but it would

play50:41

put some in a bind some in a rush so

play50:43

what we're going to do next week is

play50:45

we're not going to have Sunday school

play50:47

next week oh but guess what the

play50:49

following week we're doing two lessons

play50:52

I'm gonna have a whole lot of questions

play50:55

and if you can't answer those questions

play50:56

oh that could be a sad thing to watch

play50:58

when you watch the preview online I'm

play51:01

asking questions and pin drop but we

play51:04

have two lessons but the lessons are

play51:06

very important because the reason where

play51:07

is we deal still dealing with Jesus Is

play51:10

God right and guess what we're finishing

play51:12

things up we're now moving into the last

play51:15

and final unit of the lesson it's only

play51:17

three lessons it's only three and we're

play51:20

missing one so it's very important to

play51:22

get those things because the writer

play51:23

wants to shall we say bring everything

play51:25

to fruition close everything out by

play51:27

showing us how Jesus Is God so read your

play51:29

lessons for next week once again we will

play51:31

not have Sunday school next week but the

play51:33

following week we're going to try to do

play51:34

a double up uh I have a lot of questions

play51:37

and reviews from that particular session

play51:38

I might bring up a lot of things from

play51:40

the previous lesson so it might it may

play51:42

we say the spirit leads us it may only

play51:44

be folks a review of the entire quarter

play51:48

I shouldn't have said it some people

play51:49

might be scared to come back Sunday

play51:50

school because I remember I used to do

play51:52

it online quiz night quiz night I'm like

play51:55

where is everybody did wrong code no

play51:58

test packed house but just keep that in

play52:01

mind no Sunday school next week and with

play52:03

that being said let us stand to our feet

play52:05

for a closing word of prayer and digging

play52:07

hole if you will close us out and bring

play52:09
