The Knowable God - Part 3 (Hebrews 1:1-3)

if you grab your bibles and turn to the book of hebrews chapter one we'll do our responsive reading together it won't be much as we're looking at the first three verses we started it in our introduction to the book the last two times together today we'll get uh deeper into it hebrews chapter one and uh verse one i'll read verse one if you'll read verse two i'll end in verse three we're reading of the new king james version of the bible hebrews chapter 1 verse 1 god who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets who being the brightness of his glory and the expressed image of his person and upholding all things by the word of his power when he had by himself purged our sins sat down at the right hand of the majesty on high father we pray that you would speak to us out of your word we have come as the ancients did say to you lord we have come that we might see jesus we've come tonight that we might see jesus so father speak to us we pray in jesus name and all god's people said amen church you can be seated and as we get into hebrews the the book of hebrews aloft the amazing powerful work of god expressing to us the priestly ministry of jesus christ you are going to hear throughout this book over and over again from old testament references that pertain to the hebrews absolutely yes to the israelites certainly but the book of hebrews is awesome because it addresses not only the jew that is now born again or the jew that is thinking about jesus as messiah but it obviously being a new testament book envelopes the gentile believer we come out of this book we will come out of this book having a greater appreciation for jesus's ministry towards us his priesthood towards us we're going to come out of this book of the bible with an a stronger understanding of what it means to confess what is confession to whom do we confess why do it repentance offering worship giving the word of god and the eternal person of the lord jesus christ you cannot read the book of hebrews and come to the end of it without having a clear understanding that jesus christ is literally the god of all creation that the personification the flesh of jesus 2000 years ago on this earth listen to this and we'll hear it tonight was the manifestation of the godhead see what does that mean it means that when jesus walked and jesus spoke and you and i mankind related to him tangibly 2000 years ago they were looking watching seeing hearing experiencing god the father attributes the holy spirit attributes and the son of god attributes personified in front of them in other words when you read the gospels and when you read the book of revelation the first two three chapters uh when you see christ relating you're seeing jesus who is manifesting what the holy spirit would say in circumstances when someone is sick or the centurion's servant is ill or dying you remember this or when the woman is caught in the act of adultery you remember what jesus did that's exactly what the father would have done does that i think that should excite you what jesus said to them and to her in that moment that's exactly what the holy spirit would have said you want to know why because it was the holy spirit speaking it was god the father speaking because god the son was speaking listen they're one he's like that's what jesus did but what would the father have done exact same thing exact same thing god became flesh for us that we might be able to relate to god in his wonderful love of having provided atonement for our sins and salvation by the blood of the cross the book of hebrews will be teaching us all of this so listen as we open it up we're talking about the noble god and we saw that he's personal we looked at that that it's god who initiates the conversation with us we are not somehow having some epiphany and we decide to become a christian because we all of a sudden got smart oh no no it's god who initiates the conversations in our lives we saw that in hebrews 1 verse 1 when it says god who and we developed that it is god we saw that he enables our conversations god initiates it he speaks to you and then he enables it he comes to us in that area of personality that you and i can relate to god in and on and through and then we let we saw that he engages the conversation the christian life is a dynamic it is a constant emotion the christian life is oh i don't want to use the word busy because that has negative connotations how about this the christian life is a constant active at all times even when you and i are praying in in silence or isolation it's inactive christianity is absolutely dynamic and i got to tell you if you're watching tonight or if you're here right now and your christianity is boring can i tell you you're doing it wrong just think about this the lord wants to move in the earth and he's like he's like okay let's do this let's go you know like a good coach or somebody or maybe parents from the sidelines come on you can do it god wants to so get things going in the earth that he's it's as though he's speaking to us and saying come on let's go let's go ask me pray to me let me show you what i want to do with you and you take that approach and watch what god does he'll absolutely blow your mind and then we also learn the second point and this is where we left off by the way was that the fact that it's he's so dependable to do these things because he is immutable it's a big word immutable yeah it simply means that it is impossible for god to change ah that's a good feeling is there something impossible for god yes there's a lot of things impossible for god god cannot be stupid god god cannot sin god cannot lie god cannot change god cannot tempt you with evil god cannot do a lot of these things that are wrong it's a beautiful comfort he's immutable and the fact that verse 1 went on to say that who at various times and various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets we learned this that it's god who appoints the times god in this book the bible god is the one who has set pre-appointed times and he has done that based upon his absolute knowledge it is god that's the that's the opening throws of this book is the book of hebrews is saying to you that god is the one who's initiating all these things he never changes and regarding his ability or his inability i should say uh to change he announces to you that time is not whimsical it's not chance god is not ruling cosmic dice it says right here that he's the one who over various times and in various ways and as i mentioned you guys before the word times you ought to write in your margins it actually means portions or segments which is where we get the argument in theology as dispensations god has chosen to do certain things at certain times listen but with perfect continuity no contradiction he doesn't go back on himself it's the unraveling or the unfolding of time what's amazing to me is that god has set time he's the governor of it we'll see this in a moment and we see time unfolding and yet from god's perspective time has unfolded and we're near the end of it isn't that amazing we're approaching the end of time and we're not guessing on that you can see how the world is showing indicators of the last days but he's unchanging in this person he presides over time time changes god does not this is a fun verse isaiah chapter 9 verse 6 isaiah 9 6 tells us this in fact we'll look at it together it says for unto us a child is born no big deal there except you don't get a capital c when you're born the the hebrew reference in this word is deity but look for unto us a child is born somebody could say yeah yeah that happens every day let's keep reading unto us a son is given that is a wake-up call something's up whatever child is born is unique because he's a son given this speaks of a unique arrival into the world and the government will be upon his shoulder that is from start to finish he's in he's he's intimately involved with the governments of the world but for this reason his government is ultimately coming you see why does jesus have to come back because when he comes back in the millennial the thousand-year reign of christ jesus is going to establish his governmental reign and he's going to show mankind how government was supposed to be and he's also going to show us how it was to be for adam and eve imagine if they wouldn't have fallen what would it have been like the millennium in many many ways governments will someday completely totally be upon his shoulders right now he presides he watches as ben franklin said a nation cannot rise without his aid that's a good statement he's the counselor and look at this he's the mighty god our jehovah witness friends has have a hard time with this they don't believe he's the mighty god and this is a fun one this is why i'm bringing it up everlasting father you see wait is jesus the father no this is unfortunate in the english the the word means the governor the the governor or the one that presides the authority the the the um the ruler over time and eternity in other words in in the trinity who's gonna who's who's gonna govern time i'll govern time jesus says but it's not because he says it it's because in his attributes and his person the godhead has given him jurisdiction over time and eternity excuse me listen let that settle in jesus the jesus we celebrate at christmas or easter or every sunday or wednesday or every moment for the believer he is the eternal god and before there was ever anything physically made he was the one who held time and eternity time and timelessness in his possession he's the governor of it that's why it says everlasting father he is the father of time and that even everlasting isn't that thrilling about who he is and think about it because again the cults come to the door of your house always undermining the deity of jesus the bible knows nothing of that and he's the prince of peace of course remarkable next we move on to this as we look who at various times and in various ways we see this that it's it's he who reaches the soul it's god in christ jesus who reaches the soul of who we are we saw that and we've touched on that uh some more in the fact that uh the whole presentation the book of hebrews this is this is what led me to say uh and i'm very grateful for what i'm hearing from people i i said to you guys not too long ago and i mentioned it again and looking at this uh portion here that if if you know any catholic friends invite them to wednesday nights and i hope i said that lovingly and tenderly because i mean it i'm not saying leave your catholic church i'm not saying stop going to uh mass i'm saying why don't you just add wednesday nights here in the book of hebrews just add it and watch what happens watch what happens i'll give you a sneak peek as god begins to speak to you about who jesus is and his ministry to you in the book of hebrews you are going to be you're going to find out all of a sudden that your soul is being fed and you won't quite know what to say about that you're going to experience things that cause you to say something like i'm going to come back i'm going to you know i think i'm going to start taking notes you don't even have a clue what's going on here's what's going on your soul with its longing taste buds have tasted of the word of god and you're saying i think i'm gonna i'm gonna i like the way that that the taste of this is and i'm thinking about it and as i'm starting to see colors my bible is starting to turn into colors i'm starting to see that jesus is not some distant far removed entity that he's actually in love with my soul and he wants me in heaven with him and and oh my goodness he's my high priest and you're going to get hooked your soul is going to start waking up and he's going to pull you to himself listen with all due respect he's not going to pull you into a church he's not going to pull you into this church or any other church he's going to pull you into himself and that's where the believer lives and that's what he does and you're going to wake up to that and so listen if if any of you who are here know any catholics who are here just leave them alone wait there's a catholic go get them no love on them no listen listen i think it's safe to say it's 50 60 70 of this church is probably people of the catholic faith who wound up realizing that they can study the bible verse by verse chapter by chapter and enjoy the word of god and the great thing about it is the bible takes over your life just as it should for every single one of us the bible takes over our lives it's absolutely the way god would have us to live thirdly look at verse two thirdly we're looking at this a fact that he's the normal noble god in the fact that he is complete we see in verse two that it begins to end that portion of argumentation with this with the fact that god has gifted himself to us he says as in these last days spoken to us by his son this is an awesome and tremendous statement because god is not sending another prophet mark listen mark your heart on this mark your mind the bible says listen the bible says right here he spoke to the fathers of old the patriarchs of old through the prophets and he's done this over various times and in various ways he has been speaking but god in these last days and for a final time has spoken to us by his son this is huge paul will tell the believers in galatia chapter 1 the gospel that we've preached to you galatians if i come back or anybody on this ministry team or any christians come back to you and preach a different gospel or if anybody else tells you a different gospel or if an angel came from heaven and preached to you a different gospel another gospel let them let us let them be accursed the word is maranatha and ethema let them be forever damned if someone and even an angel preaches another gospel this is important and notice that the bible when paul spoke to them right here in hebrews is the foundation that god's done speaking he's not going to send a new revelation and i'm apparently tonight i'm in a mood to offend people apparently i remember being in russia with many of you we're preaching the gospel on the streets and we're doing all kinds of outreaches and two uh beautiful young american uh mormon men came out of the metro stop and said oh my goodness americans americans where are you guys from and we're talking to them and they saw that i was leading this group they started talking to me and um they said we can't get these crowds we can't get crowds like this and i said it's because our message is different than your message and he said what do you mean by that what do you mean by that and i told him i said listen you guys preach another gospel do you even say it's another gospel he said it's another testament galatians says this no listen no no no no i know here's the deal you stay right here i'm going to walk into the woods and i'm going to pray listen and then i'm going to come back and i'm going to talk to you to the two of you guys because this is what's going to happen to me i'm going to go out in the woods and i'm going to pray and god's going to show me he's going to speak to me an angel is going to talk to me and then i'm going to come back and i'm going to tell the two of you guys that an angel appeared to me and said that your religion's wrong and they both told me that would never happen and i said that's exactly what your boss your founder said he went he went into the forest and he prayed and came out and then said christianity is wrong i got a new one so if i'm gonna go i can do that i'm gonna go do that and then come back and i'll meet you back here and i'm gonna tell you the angel told me yours is wrong and he said that would never happen and i said those words are your words do you hear what i'm saying god is done speaking oh if god would just speak to me god speak to me you're not going to hear a thing god's going to well he might say read the bible or what would be better is the bible would fall out of an airplane and hit you on the head that would be cool but listen oh i just need a word from god i need a word from god open the book and the word will come out okay but listen listen we need to love the people of the cults we just know where their messages came from okay and then the other group says jesus is not god he cannot be god he's michael the archangel he's got he's somebody big but he's not god can't be can't be well the bible says this the bible says this the bible says this they don't want to hear it god speaks through his son jesus listen it's not just matthew mark luke and john jesus is the word of god from genesis to revelation jesus is revealed him it's god speaking that's why christ can be found from old and new testament alike it's a it's awesome and then listen we see this the fact that he's complete and that he's gifted himself to us we also see that in verse 2 that we learn about his humility and i love this it says whom he has appointed heir of all things that is god and i like to look at it this way god the father god the holy spirit god in unity of course has appointed christ jesus to be the heir of all things and you look at the word air this is kind of cool check this out we'll see it on the screen here that this word that's applied to jesus as the heir of all things follow along with me please you see jack how can he be the heir of all things when he's god in flesh listen you if you if you're thinking that thought you actually have the answer in total just just don't confuse it he is god in flesh no other religion on the planet has your message god came to this world and he took upon himself humanity it's hard for us to even hear this jesus at 13 years of age jesus at 33 jesus right now jesus in eternity past is the same jesus god almighty but listen the difference is this that when he came into the world born in bethlehem when he took on that human skin of his body he took that on forever for you and me i could even put it this way your salvation is as secured in heaven so long as there's a man representing you in heaven thank god that man is not adam or anybody else that man is the man christ jesus he's a hundred percent god and a hundred percent man and that is theologically accurate but that's exactly what you and i needed to experience salvation and to have a high priest because he knows what it's like to feel what you and i feel so when the scripture says that he's the heir of all things it's teaching us that jesus as now god man he receives as heir what was duly given to adam prior to the fall he is the recipient the bible is going to tell us that nations will become his that that all that there is become his he's god he made it all but he became man to inherit it all he turns around and now this one who has saved us is the one who gives us all things in christ the promise of ownership the word air promise of ownership this is christ in his humanity christ in his deity authority possession jurisdiction or rule over that which was given the humble state of jesus christ becoming a man and thereby becoming the last adam you know jesus is taught or presented in scripture as the last adam did are you aware of that if you know we'll come do it in scripture in times ahead last adam as one who completes what was promised listen the first adam was who adam but he blew it jesus came to not only pay for adam's sin and ours but he's the last adam scripture refers to christ as the last adam and this is a thrilling thing because forever in the millennium and in eternity and in heaven christ represents all things that he's created remember he's the creator of them all we'll read it soon if i just keep going he created them but then he gives them to us that's why the bible tells us that we are co-heirs with christ do you ever think about that now i got to be honest with you i don't right now in my ignorant humanity i don't really care about that and it's probably because i don't understand it if i understood it i'd probably be freaking out about it i just want to be up there you know but listen i know that sounds not so humble no it's pretty pathetic actually because god wants us to conduct ourselves with much more greater joy than just getting up there see what makes you say that because the scripture says that a broad or grand entrance will be provided unto us in that day you're not going to squint you're not going to go like this excuse me peter can you move michael michael can you move him trying to get into heaven here you're not going to squeak in nobody squeaks in if you're a born-again believer trusting in what christ did at the cross you are drenched coated marked by his blood and it's amazing because when billy graham died and entered into heaven don't you think oh billy graham boy the angels must have been freaking out when billy graham died not any more than when you die isn't that hard for you to believe i agree it's hard for us to believe but theology says it's going to happen first corinthians 15 42 begins listen to this jesus our prototype the one who is the heir first corinthians 15 42 says so also is the resurrection of the dead the body is sown in corruption that is we put a a body that has been ravaged by cancer or pain or disease or accident right it is raised in incorruption so listen when you put somebody in the ground and you have a service for them and their body over the years begins to decay and become reduced to dust that's not the person that's that's not how they're going to be resurrected before they ever before that body ever reaches the atmosphere in the in the day of the resurrection that body molecularly is reconstituted that's why chris we're christians we believe in resurrection do you know that we don't believe in reincarnation that's that's nuts listen resurrection from the dead when jesus rose from the dead there wasn't any his foot wasn't done over there left nothing was that fine there was no dust no fingernail right there all of it came up it has to listen resurrection everything comes up out of the grave and for the believer we are raised incorruptible that means the body is no longer ever again subject to sin wow wow verse 43 says that it's sown and dishonored it is raised in glory it is sown in weakness it's raised in power it has sown a natural body it is raised a spiritual body there is a natural body and there is a spiritual body right now i'm looking at all natural bodies these natural bodies are housing right now your soul and spirit your mind and your born-again spirit right when your body dies you get the you're you're set free remember that you mean when my body dies why don't i die no no just your body dies right think of it now some of you have a hard time with that because you think your body is really something then you want to hang on to it trust me the older you get the bible gets sweeter the older you get god's word is more wonderful oh man my neck hurts my my back hurts and it's not not for long no not for long because when the believer dies we this carcass goes into the ground we're set free and on the day of resurrection jesus fixes it brings it up out of the ground the bible tells us that we get that new body [Applause] and will be in that body forever forever man and so it is written the first adam became a living being the last adam became a life-giving spirit however the spiritual is not first but the natural and afterward the spiritual the first man was of the earth made of dust the second man is or the last man second man is the lord from heaven as was the man of dust so also are those who are made of dust that's us and as the heavenly man so also are those who are heavenly i love the word heavenly because it presents it in the in the present tense so look at you look at you right now you look at yourself the bible sees you in the present tense you see i see skin yeah okay just so what just don't you know okay use it just don't get fixated on it because heaven looks down and sees you as a man or a woman that is heavenly and i'm not saying heavenly like hallmark heavenly i'm talking about heavenly meaning your citizenship your very existence your spirit is based in heaven man verse 49. first corinthians 15 and as we have borne the image of the man of the dust we shall also bear the image of the heavenly man now this i say brethren that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of god nor does corruption inherit incorruption behold you can hear paul getting excited whoa i tell you a mystery mysterion the word means something that has always been but is now being revealed it's not a mystery like you can't figure it out that's not the right word the word means it's always been a truth but now it's being revealed we shall not all sleep look notice how the bible speaks about the believer's dead body sleep we shall not all sleep but we shall all be changed right that's a great verse for children's ministry in a moment in a twinkling of an eye at the last trumpet for the trumpet will sound and the dead will be raised incorruptible and we shall be changed for this corruption or corruptable must put on incorruption and this mortal must put on immortality so when this corruption has put on incorruption and this mortal has put on immortality then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written death is swallowed up in victory oh grave where is your sting oh hades or hell where is your victory man that's great news oh man oh that's why i say jesus broke the grave he busted it he busted it listen to this hebrews chapter 2 verse 14. and as much then as the children have uh partaken of flesh and blood that's all of us here and now he himself likewise shared in the same you guys all get that just let's because you and i live in the flesh god came in christ jesus to live in the flesh that through death he might destroy him this is going to be satan who had the power of death that is the devil that's good news and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetimes subject to bondage or subject to the prison of fear and the grave did you see that i'm going to read that again verse 15 and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage can i ask you i want to ask you a personal question i guess depending how you answer this depends if you cut out verse 15 out of your bible or not with the worldwide covet thing ev over maybe maybe it's never going to be over if you let the politicians decide but in a worldwide coveted issue world in a post-covered world maybe what do we just think from what have we learned have we learned anything i think i think you know most people say we learned a lot then i would ask what but what did we learn now we learned this week and it's going to be coming out and it may lead to a who knows if it doesn't wind up leading to a trial in the world court in belgium is it belgium where's the hague belgium so it turns out that uh mr fauci mr fauci didn't tell you the truth after all huh turns out he got caught huh turns out there's some high-tech people now who's been named as being a co-conspirator with dr fauci huh what's up let me ask you something that's that one single man is responsible for plunging the world into fear and his cohorts but hey listen people do what people do that's what they do but did you as a believer i'm just talking to the believers right now did you as a believer were you were you walking around biting your fingernails and waiting to die fauci had no control over my life think about this for a moment that apart from faith fear now rules in the world of man does it not you cannot listen you may not like what i'm saying right now but you can't prove me wrong the whole globe learned how to fear at the same time that apart from faith fear has scared the church see my air quotes we were confronted with the reality of the bible do i trust god is even trustworthy can god really save me if he can't listen if if if there's germs floating around invisible right now my goodness i just heard on the news tonight 400 000 people die a year from malaria nobody's crying about that why are we not crying about malaria it's who controls the narrative and the narrative narrative is fearful and fear listen we gravitate to fear much more quicker than we gravitate to faith fear you can feel it i mean it's just it's it's you can feel it it's in your tongue [Music] you can feel it and you may not like it but it's a sense of reality and i and i can feel it to trust god that's invisible and it has nothing to do with feelings i have to decide where's the where's the church now remember what i'm talking about hebrews 2 15 satan holds people in a grip of fear because he wants them to think constantly about death in the grave and he jumps on things as fast as he possibly can and he'll pimp them he'll exploit them think of it we don't like what we're hearing right now it's either jesus or fear there's either trusting in him or there's fear-mongering and listen when you're afraid you're not happy until you make others around you afraid just like you this is human nature nobody called me to tell me to say that about you i'm standing about us it's human nature and that apart from faith fear has deceived the masses and it's strange to me and i've said this before but why are we all of a sudden so concerned about someone getting sick and dying where were where was all this love before regarding all the other ailments that fly about why haven't we the same applied this tenacity to the spread of sexually transmitted diseases listen you're not going to like me this is pure truth satan i'm not blaming any governmental person anybody in the world no doctor nobody this is fingerprints of satan i'm not saying kobit wasn't real i'm saying satan used it how do you know because the result was crippling fear in people's lives and if we were honest then where's all the intensity for sexually transmitted diseases if we're honest with this intensity and concern why are we not showing the same incredible commitment to drug abuse or alcoholism well i'm getting into that one he said it so i'll say it it was lower down on the list but i think what you mentioned is reveals the greatest hypocrisy of all illogic and that is where's the outrage about abortion come on let's be honest let's be honest where's the outrage really about human trafficking listen we don't care we don't care we don't care we'd make noise if we cared everything's about the mask no no listen no about the the mask but in the last few months we've opened up our borders and it's so dangerous that now you saw the video tuesday night with a monday night of that five-year-old child on the border that lost in the dark holding this teddy bear a little mexican kid or guatemalan kid we don't know we don't know whoever was bringing them over the coyotes or whatever abandon him and he was in the black dark crying out someone help me someone help me in spanish nobody care where's that did you see it on cnn i had to watch it on newsmax why is it on the news listen something's up people something's up fear jesus broke the grave jesus is in control listen god listen eventually think because of the world we're living in nobody's nobody can die nobody can die nobody can die well people are going to die don't say that don't say that people are going to die prepare prepare think about prepare you're going to die why do you wear seat belts on an airplane don't you prepare tell the stewardess tomorrow when you get on that flight tell the flight attendant i'm not wearing my seat belt i'm not going to do it let's look like a lunatic because they want you to be prepared in case something happens i'm just telling you this in california you will pay taxes and in the world you will die those two things are going to happen you're going to pay taxes and you're going to die prepare right think about prepare but right now because of the fear of death in the grave the world out there apart from god is saying we're terrified nobody's allowed to die and so you ask your doctor doctor this year how many last year 2020 how many people died of emphysema how many people died of diabetes how many people died of no one's allowed to die listen the reason why we're acting like this and overreacting is because of fear and the bible says jesus has crushed and destroyed the powers of satan because satan uses the fear of death to keep people bound god wants you to live righteously holy beautifully reckless for him does i'm not saying don't wash your hands wash your hands stay home when you're sick and can i say this men i know women women have got to wash their hands in the women's bathroom right i mean they've got to but i think i'm going to start setting up a hidden camera in men's bathrooms come on guys man wash your hands and then women and then women wanted to use the men's bathroom you should have asked me i would have told you you do not want to use the men's bathroom ladies not a good idea whoever had that idea it's a bad idea co-ed co-ed bathrooms not a good idea i'm hoping a woman's bathroom is way cleaner than a guy's bathroom but wash your hands be clean but listen regarding your faith be reckless god will sustain you step out let him lead you let him guide you you can be safe in all kinds of areas but when it comes to following jesus he's the one taking care of you he he'll do that but i digress psalm chapter 2 psalm 2 verse 7 and 8 says i will declare the decree the lord has said to me you are my son today i have begotten you this is a reference to christ coming into the world ask of me and i will give you the nations for your what is it inheritance he's the heir and the ends of the earth for your possession that's a reference to the millennium and beyond isaiah 66 verse 1 isaiah 66 verse 1 says thus says the lord heaven is my throne the earth is my footstool where is the house that you will build me and where is the place of my rest for all those things my hand has made and all those things exist i love this here we go let me write these down we're going to go quick philippians 2 verse 5. now you just heard the god of the old testament say that he's the creator and he made them philippians 2 beginning in verse 5. let this mind be in you which was also in christ jesus who being in the form of god thought it not robbery to be equal with god but made himself this is the great kenosis the that god would take birth into this world amazing made himself of no reputation and took upon himself the form of a servant and was made in the likeness of men or mankind verse 8 being found in fashion as a man is that an awesome statement church listen you and i are in the fashion of mankind but the bible here is talking about christ who it's miraculous that he would took upon himself the form of a man that's saying something he humbled himself and became obedient unto death even the death of the cross wherefore god has highly exalted him and given him a name which is above every name that at the name of who one more time at the name of who every knee should bow see the word should bow the word should bow the word should is not suggested like they have a choice it means by the end when time is over every knee will bow every knee who every human that's ever lived will bow every angel that has ever been will bow including guess who yes he will bow he's going to bow of things in heaven and things in earth and things under the earth the spirit realm and that every tongue should confess will confess that jesus christ is lord to the glory of god the father listen notice the supremacy of jesus again mark chapter 10 verse 45 for even the son of man came not to be ministered unto but to minister and to give his life a ransom for for many notice this is the incarnate god in flesh showcasing his humility second corinthians eight verse nine for you know the grace of our lord jesus christ that though he was rich yet for our sakes he became poor that you through his poverty might be rich the incarnate god in humility look at matthew 11 29 matthew 11 29 take my yoke upon you and learn of me for i am meek and lowly in heart and ye shall find rest for your souls this is jesus speaking the eternal god the creator john 13 3 john 13 3 jesus knowing that the father had given him all things into his hands and that he had come from god and was going to god rose from supper and laid aside his garment and took a towel and girded himself after that he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples feet can you imagine god washing your feet that's just beyond my ability to even almost speak and to wipe them with the towel with which he was girded then he came to simon peter and peter said to him lord you you are washing my feet and jesus answered and said to him what i'm doing you do not understand now but you will know after this and that is a declaration of his humility we're supposed to be humble with each other and we're supposed to be humble in nature as christ incarnate god in humility john 5 19 then jesus answered and said to them most assuredly i say to you the son can do nothing of himself but what he sees the father do for whatever he does the son also does in like manner by the way this is awesome because many scholars will point out jesus is speaking in the third person did you see that the trinity is represented here linguistically did you get it talking about the father talking about the son and then it goes into the third person the son's not speaking and the father's not speaking another one is speaking who is the other one the holy spirit the incarnate god humble or uh in his humility look at john 12 12. we're almost done john 12 12 the next day a great multitude that had come to the feast when they had heard that jesus was coming to jerusalem took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him and cried out hosanna blessed is he who comes in the name of the lord the king of israel then jesus went then jesus when he had found a young donkey sat on it and as he as it is written fear not daughter of zion behold your king is coming to you on a donkey's cult verse 16. his disciples did not understand these things at first but when jesus was glorified then they remembered that these things were written about him and that they had done these things to him all about god coming in humility hebrews 4 15. listen to this my friends some of you need to hear this for we have not a high priest which cannot be touched with the feelings of our infirmities but was in all points tempted like as we are yet without sin you don't have an earthly priest that knows exactly how you feel you've got a heavenly priest that knows exactly how you feel all the time depressed sad sick disillusioned fearful hurting he knows he's the only one we can go to mark 6 34 and jesus when he came out saw a great multitude and was moved with compassion for them because they were like sheep not having a shepherd so he began to teach them many things i love that by the way as a pastor that's one of the goals of my life when i grow up i want to do that jesus saw a crowd of people and the first thought in his mind was they need to be taught is that awesome he didn't say they need food they need shade well they need food and they need shade they need water they need water jesus said look at all of them they need to be taught i think that's awesome i think that is just so profound that's just like him and finally we end right here and that is it says that through whom also he made the worlds that is the godhead the father the son the holy spirit made the world see this is s on the on the end of worlds it's this i'm going to say it it's hard to say but you'll get it the word is actually cosmoses cosmoses you know cosmos it's in the plural what do we know i just read today um a statement by um who's the physicist he's now he died stephen hawking is that the guy stephen hawking steven stephen hawking is the one who revealed and supposedly the greatest physicist since einstein right said that there there is the the the universe is moving is expanding and yet there are trillions of billions of millions trillions and billions of millions he said of galaxies and inside of them trillions and billions of millions of and inside of those trillions and millions and billions of and then he talked about how you reverse that you go from the most distant place that our hubble or whoever can telescope out into and then reverse it back and he pointed out that listen it doesn't stop i thought this was almost a religious i would have thought it would have been like a religious experience for him that if you go out to the ends that we can imagine and do the math and work backwards and and look what the hubble telescope has given us and keep doing the math backwards you go from these infinite numbers seemingly infinite numbers they're not infinite because they're physical they have to come to an end but as you comes back he comes down to our milky way then dialing down more our solar system you know our milk our solar system is one of many within the milky way come down to our solar system come down to our planet come down to the human come down to what we're made of did you know that what we're made of on the atomic level us did you know that we are a an atom is a little tiny solar system that's got it listen it has a nucleus and it has rotation it has little planets going around it and that's right and look pick up your hand look at it that's happening right there the same engineering that's happening right here is the same one that is a billion light years from us here tonight you wanna know why it's the same architect it's the same it's the same designer same same is true with animal life you ever see it's i love it you ever see a dolphin an embryonic dolphin well you ever seen an embryonic monkey have you seen an embryonic human have you seen an embryonic elephant what do they have in common they look the same i mean i hate blow your mind but it looks the same microscope it looks the same well monkeys have monkeys have two eyes in the front of the face like we do in lips and ears like we do we evolved that's your conclusion from that you get an evolution how about this it's the same designer it's the same creator these final verses really i'm not kidding john 1 verse 2. he was in the beginning physical creation with god all things were made through him and without him nothing was made that was made boom colossians 1 16 for by him that's jesus all things were created that's the physical creation that are in heaven that is the atmospheric and that is on earth visible and invisible whether uh thrones now this is non-physical creation these are spiritual entities thrones oh dominion dominions or principalities or powers all things were created through him and for him this is the jesus of the book of hebrews and here's where we had last verse first corinthians 8 6 yet for us there is one god the father from whom are all things and for whom we exist i love that and one lord jesus christ through whom are all things and through whom we exist this is a perfect listen we are going to segue now into communion and that's a perfect verse for it jesus to the believer i speak to you tonight church as we prepare our hearts for communion believer know this when jesus broke the bread that night and passed it among the disciples to them it means so much even to this day it should mean so much to us as well but when you break bread in the middle east especially israel and you pass it to someone else and they pull from the same loaf and eat it there is an understanding there you want to solve the world's problems in the middle east sit down and eat there is just a thing about it where what i'm eating is becoming part of me but you're pulling from the same source and so now it's part of you and the same thing that was on the table is now in us and jesus said when you take of this bread and you eat it think of it we're becoming one do this in remembrance of me the god of all creation the god of your salvation the god who is your high priest comes to you and says i not only want to save you from your sins and give you a meaningful life and to give you purpose now so that you can actually fly above depression and sadness and gloom and fear and death and be situated in the heavens even right now on this earth but when it's all over i'm gonna take you scoop you up and pull you into my presence in heaven and so much so i communicate this that until i see you again i want you to partake of this bread that reminds you i'm in you and i want you to drink of this cup which reminds you that my blood washed you clean of your sins listen christian we celebrate we rejoice in this and honestly if you're not a christian tonight can you just can you just change that right now can you just
