00:00:02.600 --> 00:00:06.879
Brothers and sisters, would you please
turn with me to God's word in the
2
00:00:06.879 --> 00:00:14.869
book of Hebrews, Hebrews Chapter One, versus one through four. For the
3
00:00:14.949 --> 00:00:20.710
rest of this month I'm going to
be preaching a little series in which we
4
00:00:20.789 --> 00:00:31.100
will consider the Messiah and how the
Old Testament anticipates him and how he brings
5
00:00:31.620 --> 00:00:35.060
the how Jesus, and as the
Messiah, is the fulfillment of those things.
6
00:00:35.140 --> 00:00:39.530
And so today in particular, we
consider Jesus as the last word,
7
00:00:39.969 --> 00:00:46.170
revelation of God. Let's hear God's
word now, the word of Jesus from
8
00:00:46.250 --> 00:00:51.640
Hebrews Chapter One. Long ago,
at many times and in many ways,
9
00:00:51.759 --> 00:00:56.079
God spoke to our fathers by the
prophets, but in these last days he
10
00:00:56.200 --> 00:01:00.320
has spoken to us by his son, whom he appointed the air of all
11
00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:07.150
things, through whom also he created
the world. He is the radiance of
12
00:01:07.269 --> 00:01:14.150
the glory of God and the exact
imprint of his nature, and he upholds
13
00:01:14.189 --> 00:01:19.540
the universe by the word of his
power. After making purification for sins,
14
00:01:19.579 --> 00:01:23.340
he sat down at the right hand
of the majesty on High, having become
15
00:01:23.379 --> 00:01:30.700
as much superior earier to angels as
the name he has inherited is more excellent
16
00:01:30.379 --> 00:01:42.890
than their's. Amen. May God
bless his word to us. The book
17
00:01:42.890 --> 00:01:51.760
of Hebrews is largely about putting before
the people of God our Lord, Jesus,
18
00:01:52.879 --> 00:01:56.200
as he is called in the book, a mediator of a new and
19
00:01:56.400 --> 00:02:01.030
better covenant, High Priest after the
order of Melchizedek, a better hope,
20
00:02:01.150 --> 00:02:07.669
a better life. Jesus is our
salvation. And in all of these things
21
00:02:08.229 --> 00:02:15.740
it is not saying that God's word
that came before was bad or unrighteous or
22
00:02:16.020 --> 00:02:23.620
even lacking in its intended purpose at
that time, but when compared to the
23
00:02:23.979 --> 00:02:30.210
son of God, it is less
in a way, it is less full,
24
00:02:30.490 --> 00:02:35.129
it is less clear. Now this, of course, was according to
25
00:02:35.330 --> 00:02:39.889
God's intentions, God's perfect intentions.
God spoke at The Times that he did
26
00:02:40.129 --> 00:02:45.039
and the ways that he did on
purpose, and the scriptures talk about some
27
00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:49.759
of those reasons. To teach,
to train, to prepare. Indeed,
28
00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:53.280
as we go back back into the
Old Testament and we read it in light
29
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:58.560
of the New Testament, we see
even that more clearly. And likewise,
30
00:02:58.629 --> 00:03:01.509
as we read the new testaments and
light of what has come before, we
31
00:03:01.590 --> 00:03:06.069
understand the work of Christ more clearly. Who He is as a priest,
32
00:03:06.590 --> 00:03:09.389
as a prophet, as a King. These are details that are filled out
33
00:03:09.550 --> 00:03:15.780
and colored and given shape by God's
word and the Old Testament, and so
34
00:03:15.900 --> 00:03:22.300
the Bible fits together perfectly, old
and new, perfectly in one line,
35
00:03:23.060 --> 00:03:28.370
though, with these distinctions, there's
a lot of ways. We can talk
36
00:03:28.370 --> 00:03:34.050
about them. Here. The author
of the Hebrews talks about the relationship in
37
00:03:34.210 --> 00:03:39.090
terms of before and after. Before
God spoken this way and now he speaks
38
00:03:39.530 --> 00:03:46.479
in this way in these last days. In this way, Jesus is sort
39
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:51.479
of like the last chapter of a
book. Imagine, as you read any
40
00:03:51.639 --> 00:03:57.310
book, novel or something else,
let's say a novel, you typically when
41
00:03:57.310 --> 00:04:01.349
you get to the last chapter,
it influences how you understood things before.
42
00:04:01.909 --> 00:04:05.550
Take a mystery in particular. Right
if you read your book and you come
43
00:04:05.590 --> 00:04:09.430
to the end and you find out
who done it, then you go back
44
00:04:09.469 --> 00:04:12.659
and you go all of course and
there was this clue and there was that
45
00:04:12.860 --> 00:04:17.100
clue and everything kind of pulls together, it tightens together. It would be
46
00:04:17.139 --> 00:04:23.620
a really strange way, a bad
way, to read a mystery or any
47
00:04:23.740 --> 00:04:28.050
regular novel and sort of rip out
the last few chapters and then think that
48
00:04:28.209 --> 00:04:31.810
you've understood the book it's not how
it works. And God's revelation is like
49
00:04:32.009 --> 00:04:38.759
that. He has revealed things first
chapter one, then chapter two and three,
50
00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:42.879
than four, and he reveals things
all the way up until the perfect
51
00:04:42.920 --> 00:04:46.480
time and the last chapter, in
the last days, when he reveals himself
52
00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:58.829
in his son. And this is
so important because Jesus, as the revelation
53
00:04:59.069 --> 00:05:02.750
of God, as God himself,
is the thing, is the one that
54
00:05:02.949 --> 00:05:09.860
we all really need, just as
our desire and a mystery is to have
55
00:05:10.699 --> 00:05:14.939
everything wrapped up and fought, have
the the question to the answer solved.
56
00:05:15.500 --> 00:05:20.889
Jesus is the answer to every question, to all mysteries, to all knowledge.
57
00:05:20.930 --> 00:05:26.449
He is the chief thing, he
is the chief one. He has
58
00:05:26.529 --> 00:05:33.610
the beginning and the end. People
say they want to know God, or
59
00:05:33.649 --> 00:05:39.199
at least they'll say they want meaning
for their lives. They want something more
60
00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:44.480
than themselves, and that's because we
all know we don't have everything in ourselves
61
00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:49.509
that we need. We have to
go get food and put it into our
62
00:05:49.589 --> 00:05:55.310
bodies in order to survive, in
order to sleep, we have to find
63
00:05:55.350 --> 00:06:00.389
a place that allows us to lay
down flat and is at least a little
64
00:06:00.389 --> 00:06:04.339
bit comfortable and maybe ideally, as
dark to we require these things, even
65
00:06:04.420 --> 00:06:10.939
really basic things that are outside of
us. We're not self sufficient people that
66
00:06:11.139 --> 00:06:15.779
just can exist in and of ourselves. The only one that is like that,
67
00:06:15.939 --> 00:06:21.490
of course, is God, our
Tryune God, self sufficient perfectly in
68
00:06:21.610 --> 00:06:30.449
himself from all time and into all
eternity. But we need more. We
69
00:06:30.569 --> 00:06:34.079
are dependent creatures. Every day we
spend a lot of time figuring out how
70
00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:40.480
we can get what we need,
and whether that's food or clothes or a
71
00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:46.319
safe place to eat, or emotional
needs, spiritual needs. We read,
72
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:50.110
we talk, we connect, we
create so that we can find meaning in
73
00:06:50.230 --> 00:06:57.069
our lives, so we can find
purpose for being here and doing what we
74
00:06:57.189 --> 00:07:02.699
do. In some ways, we
hunger for things like meaning and connection and
75
00:07:02.899 --> 00:07:11.220
purpose even more than food and sleep
and clothes. We also hunger for things
76
00:07:11.339 --> 00:07:16.250
like fairness. We want our world
to make sense. We want a fair
77
00:07:16.449 --> 00:07:21.490
standard for what counts is good,
not just what this guy makes up or
78
00:07:21.569 --> 00:07:29.290
that person makes up, but truth. We want a fair judge to condemn
79
00:07:29.449 --> 00:07:33.680
what is evil. We also want
a merciful judge to forgive us when we
80
00:07:33.800 --> 00:07:40.959
are evil. We long for things
that are beautiful and lasting. We long
81
00:07:41.160 --> 00:07:46.110
for someone who can keep us safe, who can calm our fears. We
82
00:07:46.230 --> 00:07:48.189
want to know what to do with
our lives, how to act, who
83
00:07:48.269 --> 00:07:55.110
to marry, where to live.
We want inspiration and wisdom, satisfaction and
84
00:07:55.389 --> 00:07:59.899
pleasure and all these things, as
I say, we know we can't get
85
00:07:59.939 --> 00:08:03.620
them from ourselves. We can't forgive
ourselves until we know God has first forgiven
86
00:08:03.660 --> 00:08:09.220
us. We can't gain wisdom unless
we know that it is actually true,
87
00:08:09.459 --> 00:08:15.689
that a source of truth with authority
has revealed it. We can't create beautiful
88
00:08:15.730 --> 00:08:22.290
things unless God first fills the world
with metals and dies and sunsets and songs
89
00:08:22.410 --> 00:08:28.639
of birds and so ultimately, we
are hungry for all of these things,
90
00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:35.159
but what we're really hungry for is
God, to know him, to be
91
00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:39.960
in communion with him, to operate
and live in a world that he has
92
00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:46.590
made in which we aren't always fighting
against the grain and which we live our
93
00:08:46.629 --> 00:08:54.230
lives according to things that are actually
true and righteous and good. Well,
94
00:08:54.269 --> 00:09:01.899
the good news is that God reveals
himself in the world. God shows himself
95
00:09:03.139 --> 00:09:07.100
to us. In fact, it's
so strong is his speech, that it's
96
00:09:07.139 --> 00:09:13.210
imprinted on our very natures. We
are creatures, the Scriptures say, that
97
00:09:13.250 --> 00:09:18.970
are made in the image of God. Imagine a stamp or a seal,
98
00:09:20.450 --> 00:09:22.690
you know, that's pressed in so
some wax or some ink and then it's
99
00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:30.440
pressed again. There it is.
The the the the image of that stamp,
100
00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:33.120
the the form of that seal is
right there. You can see it,
101
00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:39.190
even though the seal might be a
separated I not no longer totally connected.
102
00:09:39.870 --> 00:09:43.990
There there it is. And the
point is is that in ourselves,
103
00:09:43.389 --> 00:09:46.750
as those who are made in the
image and the likeness of God, we
104
00:09:46.909 --> 00:09:52.139
know something of God, not that
we are God, but that he has
105
00:09:52.259 --> 00:09:58.379
imprinted himself on us. We know
something about righteousness, we know something about
106
00:09:58.580 --> 00:10:01.659
what it means to serve, to
love and all of these things. And
107
00:10:01.899 --> 00:10:07.529
then, on top of that,
in his creation he has made his strength
108
00:10:07.610 --> 00:10:11.809
and his beauty and his character,
is infinite wisdom, his power. He's
109
00:10:11.850 --> 00:10:18.610
made these things known, and known
very well. The scriptures say that the
110
00:10:18.250 --> 00:10:26.840
skies or proclaiming, yelling out the
revelation of God, the things that has
111
00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:31.559
been made, the world that has
been made, speak to him and testify
112
00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:37.230
to him. And so we look
in the world for wisdom, for meaning,
113
00:10:37.429 --> 00:10:41.909
for direction and hope. The bad
news is is we all look in
114
00:10:41.950 --> 00:10:45.990
all the wrong places. We look
at the world but then we pervert it,
115
00:10:46.230 --> 00:10:50.419
we twisted. We look at ourselves
and, instead of seeing the imprint
116
00:10:50.580 --> 00:10:54.820
of the of God on us,
the image of God on us, to
117
00:10:54.940 --> 00:10:58.179
whom then we ought to look up
and worship, we say, indeed,
118
00:10:58.220 --> 00:11:03.940
I am God and I am an
authority, and what I say goes.
119
00:11:05.049 --> 00:11:09.330
He say no, you're not God, you are not all knowing, all
120
00:11:09.450 --> 00:11:13.409
eternal, self sufficient. Yes,
you see him, but then you see
121
00:11:13.450 --> 00:11:18.210
him and you twist him and we
make him to be as if he were
122
00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:24.399
in our image. And then,
even worse are sinful image and then human
123
00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:28.039
beings. We look around on the
revelation of God in the world and we
124
00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:35.350
exchange, as Paul says, we
exchange the glory of the immortal God for
125
00:11:35.629 --> 00:11:41.110
images of things that creep on the
ground. What a terrible exchange, what
126
00:11:41.230 --> 00:11:48.379
a rotten deal, to exchange the
glory of the immortal God for images of
127
00:11:48.500 --> 00:11:54.139
his creation. But this is,
of course, what we do in our
128
00:11:54.259 --> 00:12:00.299
sin. We go and we chase
after the things of this world as if
129
00:12:00.340 --> 00:12:05.690
they were disconnected from the God who
made them. But as one of the
130
00:12:05.730 --> 00:12:09.809
PURITANS, Thomas Watson, says.
He says the world is fading, it's
131
00:12:09.889 --> 00:12:16.720
not filling the world is out there
and it's sort of it promises things to
132
00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:22.279
us, but it's only it can
only satisfy in a very, very small
133
00:12:22.519 --> 00:12:30.750
way. Relationships fail, money's stolen, moth and rust, these things,
134
00:12:30.789 --> 00:12:33.950
Jesus says, they eat up our
treasures. We look at a book like
135
00:12:35.110 --> 00:12:37.909
Ecclesiastes, what do we learn?
That a lot of life under the sun
136
00:12:39.070 --> 00:12:43.190
is chasing after a wind, going
around and around and around, doing the
137
00:12:43.269 --> 00:12:46.220
same thing again and again and again. We work and we work and we
138
00:12:46.299 --> 00:12:50.860
work, and then it doesn't produce
the results that we need. And then,
139
00:12:50.940 --> 00:12:54.539
of course, you mix into all
of that corruption and evil and it
140
00:12:54.659 --> 00:13:03.970
can get really depressing really fast.
And so this is our situation as creatures
141
00:13:05.009 --> 00:13:07.769
who are made in the image of
God and yet have sinned and fallen short
142
00:13:09.529 --> 00:13:15.279
of the glory of God, of
creatures who have sinned and are now defiled
143
00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:22.879
and incapable of hearing those words,
hearing that revelation. Rightly. So here's
144
00:13:22.919 --> 00:13:30.669
what God does, friends. God
speaks, he reveals himself in a new
145
00:13:30.750 --> 00:13:37.350
word, in a word of grace. It begins right after the fall of
146
00:13:37.590 --> 00:13:41.379
man and sin, when God says
to Adam and Eve that they would that
147
00:13:41.580 --> 00:13:48.139
Eve would bear a son and that
son would come and he would crush the
148
00:13:48.259 --> 00:13:50.379
head of the serpent who tempted them, the one that we read about earlier,
149
00:13:50.460 --> 00:13:56.210
remember, and John, the murderer, the liar, the one that
150
00:13:56.330 --> 00:14:00.970
we and so many people now follow
after in their sinful nature. There would
151
00:14:00.970 --> 00:14:09.289
be one who would come and crush
that enemy, crush murder, lies,
152
00:14:09.570 --> 00:14:16.240
deceit and all the rest, and
he would save us from our sins.
153
00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:20.080
And that initial promise, just those
few words of blessing in the middle of
154
00:14:20.159 --> 00:14:26.470
a curse, begins to unfold throughout
the scriptures, throughout the Old Testament,
155
00:14:28.509 --> 00:14:33.950
it begins to unfold more and more, and promises to Abraham and promises to
156
00:14:33.990 --> 00:14:39.100
the people of Israel and promises to
David, promises which promise a kingdom that's
157
00:14:39.139 --> 00:14:48.139
everlasting, glory that's unfading, promises
that promise a Messiah and anointed King,
158
00:14:50.340 --> 00:14:54.690
Anointed Priest and anointed profit who would
come into the world and who would do
159
00:14:54.970 --> 00:15:01.730
this work, one who would speak
so clearly that he would be able to
160
00:15:03.009 --> 00:15:09.679
lift dead people out of their tombs
to make them live, who would speak
161
00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:18.840
not just clearly and truthfully, but
graciously and with power. And so,
162
00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:24.230
in the Lord's Ministry. He says
to Lazarus, get up, rise,
163
00:15:24.389 --> 00:15:28.029
come out of your tomb, and
a dead man gets up and comes out
164
00:15:28.029 --> 00:15:35.230
of his tomb. The Lord Touches
people and heals them of decade long illnesses.
165
00:15:35.139 --> 00:15:39.740
He takes people who are paralyzed,
lame, and their hands and their
166
00:15:39.779 --> 00:15:43.779
feed and their limbs he makes them
well. He takes people that are possessed
167
00:15:43.820 --> 00:15:48.700
by demons and he he calls,
he speaks to them and they are free
168
00:15:50.250 --> 00:15:56.330
by his authority, free from darkness, free from the evil one. This
169
00:15:58.049 --> 00:16:00.409
is what everything was leading up to
in the Old Testament. And now,
170
00:16:00.809 --> 00:16:06.000
in these last days, as the
author says here in Hebrews, he has
171
00:16:06.080 --> 00:16:12.840
spoken to us by his son.
So you have to ask yourself at this
172
00:16:12.960 --> 00:16:19.350
point, do you know Jesus?
Do you know the one in whom the
173
00:16:19.470 --> 00:16:25.950
last chapter has been written, everything
was pointing up to? Do you know
174
00:16:26.870 --> 00:16:30.590
God as he has revealed himself to
you, not only in his power and
175
00:16:30.710 --> 00:16:36.340
his judgment, in his righteousness,
but also in a promise that says,
176
00:16:36.860 --> 00:16:41.179
follow me, trust me, and
I'll forgive your sins and lead you into
177
00:16:41.220 --> 00:16:48.370
heaven? Jesus is the one who
fixes the problem of our sin, who
178
00:16:48.610 --> 00:16:56.889
adds and are not adds, who
gives meaning to our lives, who creates
179
00:16:56.889 --> 00:17:02.279
by the word of his power,
through whom was created all the world and
180
00:17:02.639 --> 00:17:07.079
the world to come? This Jesus
is not just some man. He verse
181
00:17:07.200 --> 00:17:14.000
three, is the radiance of the
glory of God, the exact imprint of
182
00:17:14.119 --> 00:17:18.309
his nature. He is God,
he upholds the universe by the word of
183
00:17:18.430 --> 00:17:25.950
his power. And not only is
he this God who has been from everlasting,
184
00:17:26.230 --> 00:17:32.099
but he is also the one who
made purification for sins. Do you
185
00:17:32.180 --> 00:17:37.980
know how he made purification for sins? He did it by becoming a man,
186
00:17:40.460 --> 00:17:45.289
by being born of a woman,
just as was promised, by coming
187
00:17:45.369 --> 00:17:52.089
into this world, by being murdered
on a cross and through that blood that
188
00:17:52.210 --> 00:17:57.839
he shed, atoning for our sins, so that we, in hearing the
189
00:17:59.039 --> 00:18:02.359
word of the Son and hearing the
promise of the forgiveness of our sins,
190
00:18:02.799 --> 00:18:08.920
can now have all that we need
in God, all that we need in
191
00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:12.950
fellowship with him. And so again
I ask, do you know him?
192
00:18:14.910 --> 00:18:21.950
You have to know him. It's
so important. There is nothing good that
193
00:18:22.150 --> 00:18:26.259
comes to us apart from him.
Now you know him. We all know
194
00:18:26.420 --> 00:18:30.740
him, just by looking around at
this world, at the amazing world that
195
00:18:30.859 --> 00:18:34.099
he has made. But I'm asking
something a little more. I'm asking do
196
00:18:34.140 --> 00:18:40.259
you know him in his gracious promise, in his coming and in his cross?
197
00:18:41.450 --> 00:18:44.769
Do you know him in the forgiveness
of your sins? Do you know
198
00:18:45.009 --> 00:18:53.529
him for the hope of eternal life? And if you know him, praise
199
00:18:53.609 --> 00:18:59.240
God. If you know him,
know that, as he says, he
200
00:18:59.519 --> 00:19:02.920
is the rock on which we can
build our lives, a rock and which
201
00:19:02.960 --> 00:19:11.829
we can weather every storm. And
if you know him, you might ask
202
00:19:11.869 --> 00:19:15.789
yourself, how well do I know
him? Do you know him superficially and
203
00:19:17.190 --> 00:19:21.150
in a bear and thin way,
or do you know him richly and deeply?
204
00:19:22.470 --> 00:19:26.180
How might you think about that?
I think this might be helpful.
205
00:19:26.819 --> 00:19:32.940
Think about how you know anyone else, a friend, a spouse. If
206
00:19:33.019 --> 00:19:36.859
somebody asks you what's their favorite food? What color are their eyes? What
207
00:19:36.980 --> 00:19:40.089
are they like to do on a
Saturday, would you be able to answer
208
00:19:40.130 --> 00:19:44.970
those questions? If you do,
if you can, then maybe you know
209
00:19:45.130 --> 00:19:48.210
something about them. Maybe you know
them. What about their hopes, their
210
00:19:48.250 --> 00:19:52.250
dreams, their desires? What makes
them tick? Where did they come from?
211
00:19:52.369 --> 00:19:55.519
What do they love? If you
can answer those questions, as you
212
00:19:55.680 --> 00:20:00.319
probably know, a lot more.
Can you anticipate what they might say?
213
00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:04.240
Can you anticipate can you finish their
sentences? Well, you probably are starting
214
00:20:04.279 --> 00:20:10.630
to know them pretty well at this
point. What about Jesus? Do you
215
00:20:10.710 --> 00:20:15.990
know what he's said? Have you
read his words? Can you anticipate what
216
00:20:17.109 --> 00:20:19.789
he might want? Do you know
the things that he loved? Do you
217
00:20:19.869 --> 00:20:23.299
know what he desires? Do you
know what he hates? Do you know
218
00:20:23.380 --> 00:20:27.420
what he's doing right now? Do
you know where he is? Do you
219
00:20:27.500 --> 00:20:32.299
know when he's going to appear?
Do you know what will happen when he's
220
00:20:32.339 --> 00:20:37.690
going to appear? How do you
relate to all of that? Do you
221
00:20:37.769 --> 00:20:42.930
know him? Do you follow him? Do you love him? I want
222
00:20:42.930 --> 00:20:48.930
to know Jesus better, and I
hope you do too. The wonderful thing
223
00:20:48.970 --> 00:20:55.920
about Jesus is he's infinite. Right
there's no sort of point at what you
224
00:20:56.000 --> 00:20:59.720
say. I really know enough.
There's no point in what you say.
225
00:20:59.720 --> 00:21:03.160
I really have enough meaning in my
life right now. There's no points it.
226
00:21:03.200 --> 00:21:07.150
Would you say, I really don't
think I'm going to need anything else
227
00:21:07.190 --> 00:21:14.630
ever. Again, know we are
always needy, dependent, humble creatures.
228
00:21:14.829 --> 00:21:18.660
God made us this way, and
that's not a bad thing, because he
229
00:21:18.859 --> 00:21:23.059
made us to be in Commune Union
with him, locked into him through his
230
00:21:23.339 --> 00:21:27.660
son, whom he is now revealed, so that you can get to know.
231
00:21:30.859 --> 00:21:34.369
I want you to know Jesus better
too. I want you to hear
232
00:21:34.569 --> 00:21:38.970
his words, to know the Old
Testament, to know the New Testament,
233
00:21:40.329 --> 00:21:45.410
to hear the word of God as
it is fulfilled and consummated in Christ and
234
00:21:45.609 --> 00:21:51.039
to follow him and to love him, because the scriptures tell us that when
235
00:21:51.079 --> 00:21:56.680
we do that, we have everlasting
life. We have it to the fullness,
236
00:21:56.759 --> 00:22:00.279
we have it an abundance, we
have everything we could ever need.
237
00:22:03.670 --> 00:22:06.789
And so this is my encouragement to
you, as the word speaks to us
238
00:22:06.829 --> 00:22:11.750
in these ways and tells us the
here in Hebrews. But this thing has
239
00:22:11.750 --> 00:22:17.700
happened. God has spoken and he
is spoken in these ways. Let us
240
00:22:17.740 --> 00:22:23.099
be quick to hear him and when
we find ourselves not so quick and a
241
00:22:23.140 --> 00:22:27.740
little doll in hearing and struggling to
love and to follow and have faith and
242
00:22:27.779 --> 00:22:33.730
do all these things we want to
do, go again to Jesus, because
243
00:22:33.769 --> 00:22:38.609
he promises to forgive you, to
help you, to grow you and bring
244
00:22:38.809 --> 00:22:45.119
you into his everlasting arms forever.
Let's pray
