Broadcast of the gospel truth.
00:00:34.424 --> 00:00:36.793
Today i'm beginning
00:00:36.793 --> 00:00:37.627
My second week of teaching
00:00:37.627 --> 00:00:40.130
On the subject of
00:00:40.130 --> 00:00:41.131
The word made flesh,
00:00:41.131 --> 00:00:43.600
And i tell you,
00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:44.067
This is powerful.
00:00:44.067 --> 00:00:45.502
There's actually five teachings
00:00:45.502 --> 00:00:47.337
In here, five hours'
00:00:47.337 --> 00:00:48.605
Worth of teaching.
00:00:48.605 --> 00:00:50.607
I'm kind of teaching it
00:00:50.607 --> 00:00:52.342
A little bit quicker
00:00:52.342 --> 00:00:53.276
Than what this is,
00:00:53.276 --> 00:00:54.177
So this would give an added
00:00:54.177 --> 00:00:55.578
Explanation to it.
00:00:55.578 --> 00:00:57.447
The virgin birth of jesus,
00:00:57.447 --> 00:00:59.782
And it is the greatest event
00:00:59.782 --> 00:01:01.651
That has happened in
00:01:01.718 --> 00:01:04.020
That has happened in the history of the universe.
00:01:04.087 --> 00:01:05.221
The history of the universe. i mean,
00:01:05.288 --> 00:01:06.156
I mean, creating mankind originally,
00:01:06.222 --> 00:01:08.725
Creating mankind originally, the original creation
00:01:08.791 --> 00:01:09.893
The original creation and creation of adam and eve
00:01:09.959 --> 00:01:12.028
And creation of adam and eve is nothing compared to creating
00:01:12.095 --> 00:01:14.531
Is nothing compared to creating the second adam,
00:01:14.597 --> 00:01:15.632
The second adam, jesus coming here.
00:01:15.698 --> 00:01:17.800
Jesus coming here. and what i've been explaining
00:01:17.867 --> 00:01:18.835
And what i've been explaining last week, if you've missed
00:01:18.902 --> 00:01:19.836
Last week, if you've missed any of these programs,
00:01:19.903 --> 00:01:21.905
Any of these programs, please go back
00:01:21.971 --> 00:01:22.438
To our web site.
00:01:22.839 --> 00:01:24.174
They'll have that address
00:01:24.174 --> 00:01:25.241
On the screen,
00:01:25.241 --> 00:01:26.609
But you can go get
00:01:26.609 --> 00:01:27.443
The archived copies.
00:01:27.443 --> 00:01:28.378
And you need to understand this
00:01:28.378 --> 00:01:29.946
Because the...
00:01:29.946 --> 00:01:31.047
The virgin birth of jesus
00:01:31.114 --> 00:01:33.216
The virgin birth of jesus is absolutely miraculous.
00:01:33.283 --> 00:01:35.285
Is absolutely miraculous. it's wonderful.
00:01:35.351 --> 00:01:36.286
It's wonderful. it is awesome,
00:01:36.352 --> 00:01:38.221
It is awesome, but it increases the value
00:01:38.288 --> 00:01:40.223
But it increases the value when you understand
00:01:40.290 --> 00:01:41.391
When you understand why it had to happen.
00:01:41.457 --> 00:01:44.561
Why it had to happen. i've made mention of this
00:01:44.627 --> 00:01:45.628
I've made mention of this throughout this entire series,
00:01:45.695 --> 00:01:47.697
Throughout this entire series, but this is one of the things
00:01:47.764 --> 00:01:48.598
But this is one of the things i asked as a kid.
00:01:48.665 --> 00:01:50.233
I asked as a kid. i mean, i was really young,
00:01:50.300 --> 00:01:51.267
I mean, i was really young, and i said, why did god have to
00:01:51.334 --> 00:01:53.303
And i said, why did god have to become a man?
00:01:53.369 --> 00:01:54.904
Become a man? i thought about
00:01:54.971 --> 00:01:55.405
I thought about all of the grief, the hurt.
00:01:55.471 --> 00:01:57.073
You know, it says that jesus was
00:01:57.140 --> 00:01:58.441
You know, it says that jesus was a man of sorrows,
00:01:58.508 --> 00:01:59.509
A man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief.
00:01:59.576 --> 00:02:02.011
Why did god set it up
00:02:02.078 --> 00:02:04.214
Why did god set it up that he had to become a man?
00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:06.416
That he had to become a man? and i just had questions
00:02:06.482 --> 00:02:07.550
And i just had questions like this, and nobody
00:02:07.617 --> 00:02:08.585
Like this, and nobody could answer it.
00:02:08.651 --> 00:02:09.152
Could answer it. they just, well, you know,
00:02:09.219 --> 00:02:10.119
They just, well, you know, it's just the way it is
00:02:10.186 --> 00:02:11.287
It's just the way it is that god does whatever
00:02:11.354 --> 00:02:12.188
That god does whatever he wants to.
00:02:12.255 --> 00:02:13.556
He wants to. but when i began to understand
00:02:13.623 --> 00:02:15.225
But when i began to understand why jesus had to become a man,
00:02:15.291 --> 00:02:18.628
Why jesus had to become a man, it made the virgin birth
00:02:18.695 --> 00:02:20.863
It made the virgin birth so much more understandable,
00:02:20.930 --> 00:02:23.233
So much more understandable, and it inspired me
00:02:23.299 --> 00:02:24.300
And it inspired me that this is also...
00:02:24.367 --> 00:02:25.902
That this is also... there are things
00:02:25.969 --> 00:02:27.136
There are things that god had to do to in...
00:02:27.203 --> 00:02:29.439
That god had to do to in... intervene on our behalf
00:02:29.505 --> 00:02:31.708
Intervene on our behalf and bring the birth of jesus
00:02:31.774 --> 00:02:33.810
And bring the birth of jesus to this earth.
00:02:33.876 --> 00:02:34.444
To this earth. likewise, there are
00:02:34.510 --> 00:02:35.411
Likewise, there are certain things
00:02:35.478 --> 00:02:36.112
Certain things that have to happen
00:02:36.179 --> 00:02:37.013
That have to happen for god to intervene
00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:38.381
For god to intervene on our behalf today.
00:02:38.448 --> 00:02:40.450
On our behalf today. if it's healing,
00:02:40.516 --> 00:02:41.317
If it's healing, if it's prosperity, if it's joy,
00:02:41.384 --> 00:02:43.353
If it's prosperity, if it's joy, if it's peace,
00:02:43.419 --> 00:02:44.554
If it's peace, if it's direction, whatever,
00:02:44.621 --> 00:02:45.855
If it's direction, whatever, there's things
00:02:45.922 --> 00:02:46.456
There's things that god has established
00:02:46.522 --> 00:02:48.391
That god has established laws and principles
00:02:48.458 --> 00:02:49.926
Laws and principles that even he abides by.
00:02:49.993 --> 00:02:51.861
That even he abides by. and you aren't just
00:02:51.928 --> 00:02:52.629
And you aren't just going to get, you know,
00:02:52.695 --> 00:02:54.831
Going to get, you know, your answer
00:02:54.897 --> 00:02:56.099
Your answer dropping out of the sky.
00:02:56.165 --> 00:02:57.600
Dropping out of the sky. and yet a lot of people
00:02:57.667 --> 00:02:58.534
And yet a lot of people don't understand this.
00:02:58.601 --> 00:02:59.569
Don't understand this. they just think that god does
00:02:59.636 --> 00:03:00.703
They just think that god does whatever he wants to.
00:03:00.770 --> 00:03:01.704
Whatever he wants to. no, the virgin birth shows you
00:03:01.771 --> 00:03:04.240
No, the virgin birth shows you that there were limits upon god.
00:03:04.307 --> 00:03:06.476
That there were limits upon god. not limits imposed upon him
00:03:06.542 --> 00:03:08.544
Not limits imposed upon him by somebody else,
00:03:08.611 --> 00:03:09.345
By somebody else, but self-imposed limits.
00:03:09.412 --> 00:03:11.848
But self-imposed limits. he created this earth.
00:03:11.914 --> 00:03:13.716
He created this earth. he gave authority
00:03:13.783 --> 00:03:14.917
He gave authority over this earth to mankind,
00:03:14.984 --> 00:03:18.054
Over this earth to mankind, and we gave authority
00:03:18.121 --> 00:03:20.056
And we gave authority to the devil.
00:03:20.123 --> 00:03:20.690
To the devil. we're the ones that empowered
00:03:20.757 --> 00:03:21.891
We're the ones that empowered the devil.
00:03:21.958 --> 00:03:22.725
The devil. we made satan.
00:03:22.792 --> 00:03:24.227
We made satan. god created lucifer,
00:03:24.294 --> 00:03:26.195
God created lucifer, but we made satan.
00:03:26.262 --> 00:03:27.463
But we made satan. when we yielded to him,
00:03:27.530 --> 00:03:28.931
When we yielded to him, we empowered him,
00:03:28.998 --> 00:03:30.466
We empowered him, and satan has been using
00:03:30.533 --> 00:03:32.168
And satan has been using the authority that god intended
00:03:32.235 --> 00:03:33.903
The authority that god intended mankind to have,
00:03:33.970 --> 00:03:35.605
Mankind to have, to rule and oppress
00:03:35.672 --> 00:03:37.573
To rule and oppress and destroy people
00:03:37.640 --> 00:03:39.375
And destroy people ever since then.
00:03:39.442 --> 00:03:40.576
Ever since then. satan can't do anything
00:03:40.643 --> 00:03:42.412
Satan can't do anything without your consent
00:03:42.478 --> 00:03:43.446
Without your consent and cooperation
00:03:43.513 --> 00:03:44.247
And cooperation because satan is a spirit being
00:03:44.314 --> 00:03:46.449
Because satan is a spirit being and god gave authority
00:03:46.516 --> 00:03:47.917
And god gave authority over this earth
00:03:47.984 --> 00:03:48.818
Over this earth to physical human beings.
00:03:48.885 --> 00:03:51.087
To physical human beings. so let me turn over
00:03:51.154 --> 00:03:51.788
So let me turn over to a scripture
00:03:51.854 --> 00:03:52.488
To a scripture that i started with last week.
00:03:52.555 --> 00:03:55.124
That i started with last week. a week ago i used this
00:03:55.191 --> 00:03:56.559
A week ago i used this but let me bring you back to it.
00:03:56.626 --> 00:03:57.760
But let me bring you back to it. if you've followed the things
00:03:57.827 --> 00:03:58.995
If you've followed the things that i've said,
00:03:59.062 --> 00:03:59.829
That i've said, this ought to make more sense
00:03:59.896 --> 00:04:00.897
This ought to make more sense to you now.
00:04:00.963 --> 00:04:02.332
To you now. but jesus was speaking in
00:04:02.398 --> 00:04:03.599
But jesus was speaking in john, chapter 5,
00:04:03.666 --> 00:04:05.201
John, chapter 5, people were criticizing him
00:04:05.268 --> 00:04:06.803
People were criticizing him and saying, what right
00:04:06.869 --> 00:04:07.937
And saying, what right do you have to say all this?
00:04:08.004 --> 00:04:09.238
Do you have to say all this? so he was defending
00:04:09.305 --> 00:04:10.273
So he was defending his authority.
00:04:10.340 --> 00:04:11.874
His authority. and here's what jesus said
00:04:11.941 --> 00:04:13.142
In john, chapter 5,
00:04:13.209 --> 00:04:15.044
In john, chapter 5, and in verse 24.
00:04:15.111 --> 00:04:16.713
And in verse 24. he says, verily, verily,
00:04:16.779 --> 00:04:17.480
He says, verily, verily, i say unto you,
00:04:17.547 --> 00:04:19.048
I say unto you, he that heareth my word,
00:04:19.115 --> 00:04:21.684
He that heareth my word, and believeth on him
00:04:21.751 --> 00:04:23.853
And believeth on him that sent me,
00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:24.887
That sent me, hath everlasting life,
00:04:24.954 --> 00:04:26.322
Hath everlasting life, and shall not come into
00:04:26.389 --> 00:04:27.557
And shall not come into condemnation; but is passed
00:04:27.623 --> 00:04:29.125
Condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
00:04:29.192 --> 00:04:31.227
From death unto life. verily, verily, i say unto you,
00:04:31.294 --> 00:04:33.129
Verily, verily, i say unto you, the hour is coming, and now is,
00:04:33.196 --> 00:04:36.265
The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear
00:04:36.332 --> 00:04:37.600
When the dead shall hear the voice of the son of god:
00:04:37.667 --> 00:04:39.869
The voice of the son of god: and they that hear shall live.
00:04:39.936 --> 00:04:42.004
And they that hear shall live. for the as the father hath life
00:04:42.071 --> 00:04:43.740
For the as the father hath life in himself; so hath he given
00:04:43.806 --> 00:04:46.075
In himself; so hath he given to the son to have life
00:04:46.142 --> 00:04:47.410
To the son to have life in himself; and hath given him
00:04:47.477 --> 00:04:50.246
In himself; and hath given him authority to execute judgment
00:04:50.313 --> 00:04:52.982
Authority to execute judgment also, because he is
00:04:53.049 --> 00:04:54.484
Also, because he is the son of man.
00:04:54.550 --> 00:04:56.052
I mentioned some of these things
00:04:56.119 --> 00:04:57.153
I mentioned some of these things a week ago, but if you followed
00:04:57.220 --> 00:05:00.690
A week ago, but if you followed all of the other things
00:05:00.757 --> 00:05:01.591
All of the other things i've said and you put
00:05:01.657 --> 00:05:02.759
I've said and you put all this together,
00:05:02.825 --> 00:05:03.493
All this together, it'll make more sense
00:05:03.559 --> 00:05:04.527
It'll make more sense to you now.
00:05:04.594 --> 00:05:05.495
To you now. but the reason
00:05:05.561 --> 00:05:06.763
But the reason that god had to wait
00:05:06.829 --> 00:05:09.265
That god had to wait 4,000 years until
00:05:09.332 --> 00:05:11.067
Galatians, chapter 4, verse 4,
00:05:11.134 --> 00:05:13.002
Galatians, chapter 4, verse 4, says, the fulness of time
00:05:13.069 --> 00:05:14.670
Says, the fulness of time had come,
00:05:14.737 --> 00:05:15.438
Had come, and that's when jesus came.
00:05:15.505 --> 00:05:16.973
The reason it took 4,000 years
00:05:17.039 --> 00:05:18.608
The reason it took 4,000 years is because of this issue
00:05:18.674 --> 00:05:19.976
Is because of this issue of authority.
00:05:20.042 --> 00:05:21.210
Of authority. god gave authority to man
00:05:21.277 --> 00:05:23.379
God gave authority to man and man surrendered
00:05:23.446 --> 00:05:24.814
And man surrendered his authority to the devil,
00:05:24.881 --> 00:05:26.149
His authority to the devil, and satan hindered
00:05:26.215 --> 00:05:28.117
And satan hindered what god could do
00:05:28.184 --> 00:05:29.352
What god could do in the earth
00:05:29.419 --> 00:05:30.019
In the earth because god flows
00:05:30.086 --> 00:05:31.421
Because god flows through people.
00:05:31.487 --> 00:05:32.889
It says in
00:05:32.955 --> 00:05:33.623
It says in john, chapter 4, verse 24,
00:05:33.689 --> 00:05:35.291
John, chapter 4, verse 24, that god is a spirit:
00:05:35.358 --> 00:05:37.527
That god is a spirit: and those who worship him
00:05:37.593 --> 00:05:38.728
And those who worship him must worship him in spirit
00:05:38.795 --> 00:05:39.896
Must worship him in spirit and in truth.
00:05:39.962 --> 00:05:40.763
God is a spirit.
00:05:40.830 --> 00:05:41.831
God is a spirit. he's not a physical body.
00:05:41.898 --> 00:05:43.766
He's not a physical body. and yet,
00:05:43.833 --> 00:05:44.267
And yet, he gave control of this earth
00:05:44.333 --> 00:05:47.236
He gave control of this earth to people with physical
00:05:47.303 --> 00:05:48.938
To people with physical human bodies.
00:05:49.005 --> 00:05:50.373
Human bodies. so this physical body
00:05:50.440 --> 00:05:52.442
So this physical body is tied to the authority
00:05:52.508 --> 00:05:54.911
Is tied to the authority over this earth.
00:05:54.977 --> 00:05:56.712
Over this earth. and since god was a spirit,
00:05:56.779 --> 00:05:58.648
And since god was a spirit, god no longer had the control
00:05:58.714 --> 00:06:01.017
God no longer had the control over this earth.
00:06:01.083 --> 00:06:01.717
Over this earth. he had delegated it to man.
00:06:01.784 --> 00:06:03.486
He had delegated it to man. and when man messed up
00:06:03.553 --> 00:06:04.654
And when man messed up and gave that authority
00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:05.655
And gave that authority to the devil, it limited
00:06:05.721 --> 00:06:07.623
To the devil, it limited what god could do.
00:06:07.690 --> 00:06:09.692
What god could do. you know, i hadn't got
00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:10.393
You know, i hadn't got time to go into this.
00:06:10.460 --> 00:06:11.461
Time to go into this. i probably shouldn't even
00:06:11.527 --> 00:06:12.495
I probably shouldn't even mention this,
00:06:12.562 --> 00:06:13.196
Mention this, but...might help somebody
00:06:13.262 --> 00:06:15.331
But...might help somebody if you're paying attention,
00:06:15.398 --> 00:06:17.200
If you're paying attention, but this is really what's behind
00:06:17.266 --> 00:06:18.868
But this is really what's behind the book of job.
00:06:18.935 --> 00:06:20.703
The book of job. people think, why did god do
00:06:20.770 --> 00:06:21.971
People think, why did god do all of this stuff?
00:06:22.038 --> 00:06:22.705
All of this stuff? it really comes down to
00:06:22.772 --> 00:06:23.673
It really comes down to this issue of authority.
00:06:23.739 --> 00:06:25.174
This issue of authority. god was blessing job in a way
00:06:25.241 --> 00:06:28.911
God was blessing job in a way that he really didn't have
00:06:28.978 --> 00:06:30.413
That he really didn't have the authority to do.
00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:33.015
The authority to do. job was a sinner.
00:06:33.082 --> 00:06:34.750
Job was a sinner. he wasn't a perfect man.
00:06:34.817 --> 00:06:37.587
He wasn't a perfect man. i'm not saying he was a bad man
00:06:37.653 --> 00:06:39.522
I'm not saying he was a bad man relative to other people,
00:06:39.589 --> 00:06:41.257
Relative to other people, but he wasn't perfect.
00:06:41.324 --> 00:06:42.225
Romans 3:23 says,
00:06:42.291 --> 00:06:43.693
Romans 3:23 says, all have sinned,
00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:44.460
All have sinned, and come short of
00:06:44.527 --> 00:06:44.961
And come short of the glory of god.
00:06:45.027 --> 00:06:46.863
And yet, god had built
00:06:46.929 --> 00:06:48.598
And yet, god had built a hedge around job
00:06:48.664 --> 00:06:50.433
A hedge around job and was protecting him.
00:06:50.500 --> 00:06:51.601
And was protecting him. and so when satan came,
00:06:51.667 --> 00:06:53.402
And so when satan came, he challenged him, saying,
00:06:53.469 --> 00:06:54.504
He challenged him, saying, this man is a sinner.
00:06:54.570 --> 00:06:57.006
This man is a sinner. this man through adam
00:06:57.073 --> 00:06:59.475
This man through adam yielded control to me
00:06:59.542 --> 00:07:01.577
Yielded control to me and yet i can't get at him
00:07:01.644 --> 00:07:03.079
And yet i can't get at him because you're blessing him.
00:07:03.145 --> 00:07:04.447
Because you're blessing him. and the reason god had to
00:07:04.514 --> 00:07:06.249
And the reason god had to drop the hedge and allow satan
00:07:06.315 --> 00:07:08.417
Drop the hedge and allow satan to have access to job
00:07:08.484 --> 00:07:10.186
To have access to job is because of this issue
00:07:10.253 --> 00:07:11.320
Is because of this issue of authority.
00:07:11.387 --> 00:07:12.522
Of authority. he didn't have the right
00:07:12.588 --> 00:07:13.956
He didn't have the right to come in and bless job
00:07:14.023 --> 00:07:16.392
To come in and bless job as if he had never sinned.
00:07:16.459 --> 00:07:18.528
As if he had never sinned. and so satan went...
00:07:18.594 --> 00:07:19.595
And so satan went... when satan challenged it,
00:07:19.662 --> 00:07:20.763
When satan challenged it, god had to gave...
00:07:20.830 --> 00:07:21.831
God had to gave... give satan access to job
00:07:21.898 --> 00:07:23.900
Give satan access to job because the truth was,
00:07:23.966 --> 00:07:24.934
Because the truth was, he was sold under sin.
00:07:25.001 --> 00:07:27.403
He was sold under sin. and as it says in
00:07:27.470 --> 00:07:28.104
And as it says in ephesians, chapter 2,
00:07:28.170 --> 00:07:29.405
Ephesians, chapter 2, that we were all children of
00:07:29.472 --> 00:07:30.907
That we were all children of the devil.
00:07:30.973 --> 00:07:31.541
The devil. he was actually, in a sense,
00:07:31.607 --> 00:07:33.209
He was actually, in a sense, our spiritual father
00:07:33.276 --> 00:07:34.544
Our spiritual father before we got born again.
00:07:34.610 --> 00:07:36.846
Before we got born again. so anyway,
00:07:36.913 --> 00:07:37.179
So anyway, that's a little rabbit trail,
00:07:37.246 --> 00:07:38.447
That's a little rabbit trail, but if you understand that,
00:07:38.514 --> 00:07:39.515
But if you understand that, it will give explanation
00:07:39.582 --> 00:07:40.750
It will give explanation to the book of job.
00:07:40.816 --> 00:07:42.485
To the book of job. and so because of this,
00:07:42.552 --> 00:07:43.619
And so because of this, god could not just intervene
00:07:43.686 --> 00:07:45.421
God could not just intervene and come down
00:07:45.488 --> 00:07:46.022
And come down and fix the thing.
00:07:46.088 --> 00:07:46.756
And fix the thing. he had to flow through people.
00:07:46.822 --> 00:07:49.358
He had to flow through people. i've used that verse
00:07:49.425 --> 00:07:50.159
In ephesians 3:20,
00:07:50.226 --> 00:07:51.427
In ephesians 3:20, that now unto him
00:07:51.494 --> 00:07:52.295
That now unto him who is able to do
00:07:52.361 --> 00:07:53.029
Who is able to do exceeding abundantly above
00:07:53.095 --> 00:07:54.297
Exceeding abundantly above all we ask or think,
00:07:54.363 --> 00:07:56.265
All we ask or think, according to the power
00:07:56.332 --> 00:07:59.101
According to the power that works in us.
00:07:59.168 --> 00:08:00.403
God can't just intervene
00:08:00.469 --> 00:08:02.104
God can't just intervene above all we ask or think,
00:08:02.171 --> 00:08:03.706
Above all we ask or think, period.
00:08:03.773 --> 00:08:04.640
Period. it's according to the power
00:08:04.707 --> 00:08:06.275
It's according to the power that works in us.
00:08:06.342 --> 00:08:07.443
That works in us. god flows through people.
00:08:07.510 --> 00:08:09.512
God flows through people. he has to have some person
00:08:09.579 --> 00:08:11.447
He has to have some person to flow through.
00:08:11.514 --> 00:08:12.815
To flow through. and since man had become fallen
00:08:12.882 --> 00:08:15.651
And since man had become fallen and satan was now
00:08:15.718 --> 00:08:16.686
And satan was now the god of this world,
00:08:16.752 --> 00:08:19.722
The god of this world, it took god 4,000 years
00:08:19.789 --> 00:08:22.792
It took god 4,000 years after the fall of adam and eve
00:08:22.858 --> 00:08:24.860
After the fall of adam and eve to find enough people
00:08:24.927 --> 00:08:26.362
To find enough people who would speak forth his word
00:08:26.429 --> 00:08:28.097
Who would speak forth his word because jesus had to have
00:08:28.164 --> 00:08:30.666
Because jesus had to have a body created.
00:08:30.733 --> 00:08:32.034
A body created. how was adam's body created?
00:08:32.101 --> 00:08:34.070
Over in genesis 1:26,
00:08:34.136 --> 00:08:35.671
Over in genesis 1:26, god said.
00:08:35.738 --> 00:08:36.806
He created our physical body
00:08:36.872 --> 00:08:39.809
He created our physical body by words.
00:08:39.875 --> 00:08:41.077
By words. so he had to speak
00:08:41.143 --> 00:08:42.111
So he had to speak the second adam, jesus,
00:08:42.178 --> 00:08:43.646
The second adam, jesus, into existence by words.
00:08:43.713 --> 00:08:46.048
Into existence by words. but now he didn't have
00:08:46.115 --> 00:08:47.383
But now he didn't have direct access for his words
00:08:47.450 --> 00:08:49.485
Direct access for his words to control.
00:08:49.552 --> 00:08:50.086
To control. he had given control
00:08:50.152 --> 00:08:51.053
He had given control over to man who had
00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:52.054
Over to man who had turned it over to the devil.
00:08:52.121 --> 00:08:53.522
Turned it over to the devil. so now, god had to just
00:08:53.589 --> 00:08:54.957
So now, god had to just touch the hearts of people
00:08:55.024 --> 00:08:56.859
Touch the hearts of people and people had to speak forth
00:08:56.926 --> 00:08:58.661
And people had to speak forth god's word.
00:08:58.728 --> 00:08:59.161
God's word. god had to speak through people.
00:08:59.228 --> 00:09:01.464
God had to speak through people. and there was a lot of things
00:09:01.530 --> 00:09:02.465
And there was a lot of things that had to be spoken.
00:09:02.531 --> 00:09:05.301
That had to be spoken. and it took 4,000 years
00:09:05.368 --> 00:09:07.870
And it took 4,000 years for god to give
00:09:07.937 --> 00:09:08.704
For god to give all of the prophecies
00:09:08.771 --> 00:09:09.939
All of the prophecies about where jesus would
00:09:10.006 --> 00:09:11.173
About where jesus would be born, about the things
00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:13.509
Be born, about the things that would happen
00:09:13.576 --> 00:09:14.276
That would happen when jesus was...would be born.
00:09:14.343 --> 00:09:16.045
When jesus was...would be born. about how he would
00:09:16.112 --> 00:09:16.779
About how he would overcome death.
00:09:16.846 --> 00:09:17.813
Overcome death. david prophesied about that.
00:09:17.880 --> 00:09:19.715
David prophesied about that. that he saw the lord.
00:09:19.782 --> 00:09:21.050
That he saw the lord. the lord said,
00:09:21.117 --> 00:09:22.485
The lord said, i see the lord god.
00:09:22.551 --> 00:09:24.720
I see the lord god. the lord was speaking to
00:09:24.787 --> 00:09:25.788
The lord was speaking to the lord.
00:09:25.855 --> 00:09:26.555
The lord. man, there's a great lesson
00:09:26.622 --> 00:09:27.556
Man, there's a great lesson in the trinity right there,
00:09:27.623 --> 00:09:29.392
In the trinity right there, and that...that he didn't die.
00:09:29.458 --> 00:09:32.928
And that...that he didn't die. that...that he was raised
00:09:32.995 --> 00:09:34.230
That...that he was raised from the dead.
00:09:34.296 --> 00:09:34.964
From the dead. david prophesied those things.
00:09:35.031 --> 00:09:36.666
David prophesied those things. anyway, there's just a...
00:09:36.732 --> 00:09:38.367
Anyway, there's just a... there was literally hundreds
00:09:38.434 --> 00:09:39.502
There was literally hundreds and hundreds of prophecies
00:09:39.568 --> 00:09:41.270
And hundreds of prophecies that were spoken
00:09:41.337 --> 00:09:41.904
That were spoken over these 4,000 years
00:09:41.971 --> 00:09:43.706
Over these 4,000 years that were necessary for
00:09:43.773 --> 00:09:45.441
That were necessary for jesus' body to be created.
00:09:45.508 --> 00:09:48.344
Jesus' body to be created. jesus as...as god,
00:09:48.411 --> 00:09:51.247
Jesus as...as god, existed from creation.
00:09:51.313 --> 00:09:53.749
Existed from creation. matter of fact,
00:09:53.816 --> 00:09:54.817
Over here in the book of john,
00:09:54.884 --> 00:09:56.886
Over here in the book of john, chapter 1, it says,
00:09:56.952 --> 00:09:57.987
Chapter 1, it says, in the beginning was the word,
00:09:58.054 --> 00:10:01.057
In the beginning was the word, and the word was with god,
00:10:01.123 --> 00:10:02.858
And the word was with god, and the word was god.
00:10:02.925 --> 00:10:04.093
And the word was god. the same was in the beginning
00:10:04.160 --> 00:10:05.327
The same was in the beginning with god.
00:10:05.394 --> 00:10:06.562
With god. all things were made by him;
00:10:06.629 --> 00:10:08.164
All things were made by him; and without him
00:10:08.230 --> 00:10:08.731
And without him was not any thing made
00:10:08.798 --> 00:10:10.166
Was not any thing made that was made.
00:10:10.232 --> 00:10:11.500
This is talking about jesus.
00:10:11.567 --> 00:10:12.935
This is talking about jesus. jesus is the word,
00:10:13.002 --> 00:10:15.004
Jesus is the word, and he existed in the beginning.
00:10:15.071 --> 00:10:16.972
And he existed in the beginning. he created everything.
00:10:17.039 --> 00:10:18.441
He created everything. god's the one that...
00:10:18.507 --> 00:10:19.642
God's the one that... jesus is the one
00:10:19.709 --> 00:10:20.476
Jesus is the one that god used.
00:10:20.543 --> 00:10:21.677
That god used. you can compare this with
00:10:21.744 --> 00:10:22.712
You can compare this with colossians, chapter 1,
00:10:22.778 --> 00:10:24.447
Colossians, chapter 1, and god the father used jesus
00:10:24.513 --> 00:10:26.982
And god the father used jesus to create the entire universe,
00:10:27.049 --> 00:10:29.819
To create the entire universe, everything that was done.
00:10:29.885 --> 00:10:31.353
Everything that was done. so jesus, in his spirit being,
00:10:31.420 --> 00:10:34.423
So jesus, in his spirit being, existed from eternity.
00:10:34.490 --> 00:10:37.293
Existed from eternity. there was no beginning to him.
00:10:37.359 --> 00:10:39.395
He's god.
00:10:39.462 --> 00:10:40.262
He's god. in the beginning, god.
00:10:40.329 --> 00:10:42.398
But his physical body
00:10:42.465 --> 00:10:44.233
But his physical body had to be created
00:10:44.300 --> 00:10:45.334
Had to be created and that had to flow
00:10:45.401 --> 00:10:46.602
And that had to flow through people,
00:10:46.669 --> 00:10:47.470
Through people, and it took 4,000 years
00:10:47.536 --> 00:10:49.004
And it took 4,000 years for god to speak all of this
00:10:49.071 --> 00:10:50.740
For god to speak all of this into existence.
00:10:50.806 --> 00:10:51.974
Into existence. but over here in luke,
00:10:52.041 --> 00:10:55.111
But over here in luke, let me turn to these verses
00:10:55.177 --> 00:10:56.345
Let me turn to these verses that we typically use
00:10:56.412 --> 00:10:58.447
That we typically use when we're talking about
00:10:58.514 --> 00:11:00.316
When we're talking about the virgin birth.
00:11:00.382 --> 00:11:01.183
The virgin birth. and i've said this
00:11:01.250 --> 00:11:01.984
And i've said this during this series already,
00:11:02.051 --> 00:11:03.452
During this series already, but we have so many
00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:05.121
But we have so many religious traditions
00:11:05.187 --> 00:11:07.757
Religious traditions attached to christmas
00:11:07.823 --> 00:11:09.792
Attached to christmas that many times
00:11:09.859 --> 00:11:10.493
That many times we get more excited
00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:11.460
We get more excited about the christmas tree,
00:11:11.527 --> 00:11:12.595
About the christmas tree, and the lights,
00:11:12.661 --> 00:11:13.996
And the lights, and the feelings,
00:11:14.063 --> 00:11:15.231
And the feelings, and the feelings of love
00:11:15.297 --> 00:11:16.899
And the feelings of love and peace and...
00:11:16.966 --> 00:11:18.000
And peace and... and these things
00:11:18.067 --> 00:11:18.768
And these things have their place.
00:11:18.834 --> 00:11:19.568
Have their place. i'm not...i'm not a...
00:11:19.635 --> 00:11:21.437
I'm not...i'm not a... you know, a scrooge
00:11:21.504 --> 00:11:23.172
You know, a scrooge that's just against everything
00:11:23.239 --> 00:11:24.540
That's just against everything that's christmas.
00:11:24.607 --> 00:11:25.407
That's christmas. but i am saying that many times
00:11:25.474 --> 00:11:27.076
But i am saying that many times the true meaning of christmas,
00:11:27.143 --> 00:11:29.445
The true meaning of christmas, the incarnation of jesus
00:11:29.512 --> 00:11:31.881
The incarnation of jesus is downplayed.
00:11:31.947 --> 00:11:34.350
Is downplayed. or not necessarily downplayed,
00:11:34.416 --> 00:11:35.885
Or not necessarily downplayed, but all of these other things
00:11:35.951 --> 00:11:36.819
But all of these other things are emphasized to such a degree
00:11:36.886 --> 00:11:38.621
Are emphasized to such a degree that we lose the heart of
00:11:38.687 --> 00:11:40.556
That we lose the heart of what really happened.
00:11:40.623 --> 00:11:41.857
What really happened. let me tell you
00:11:41.924 --> 00:11:42.491
Let me tell you what really happened here
00:11:42.558 --> 00:11:44.660
What really happened here in luke, chapter 1,
00:11:44.727 --> 00:11:46.929
In luke, chapter 1, when the angel appeared
00:11:46.996 --> 00:11:48.798
When the angel appeared unto mary.
00:11:48.864 --> 00:11:49.999
And so, it says in
00:11:50.065 --> 00:11:50.766
And so, it says in luke, chapter 1,
00:11:50.833 --> 00:11:52.635
Luke, chapter 1, it says in verse 26,
00:11:52.701 --> 00:11:56.639
It says in verse 26, and in the sixth month
00:11:56.705 --> 00:11:57.907
And in the sixth month the angel gabriel
00:11:57.973 --> 00:11:59.809
The angel gabriel was sent from god
00:11:59.875 --> 00:12:00.910
Was sent from god unto a city of galilee,
00:12:00.976 --> 00:12:02.378
Unto a city of galilee, named nazareth.
00:12:02.444 --> 00:12:03.412
You can read about gabriel
00:12:03.479 --> 00:12:04.613
You can read about gabriel in daniel, chapter 9.
00:12:04.680 --> 00:12:05.981
In daniel, chapter 9. this was a powerful...
00:12:06.048 --> 00:12:07.483
This was a powerful... one of the main angels of god
00:12:07.550 --> 00:12:10.820
One of the main angels of god in the hierarchy of angels.
00:12:10.886 --> 00:12:13.122
And so this angel gabriel
00:12:13.189 --> 00:12:14.523
And so this angel gabriel was sent to galilee,
00:12:14.590 --> 00:12:16.392
Was sent to galilee, to a city named nazareth,
00:12:16.458 --> 00:12:17.827
To a city named nazareth, to a virgin espoused to a man
00:12:17.893 --> 00:12:20.796
To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was joseph,
00:12:20.863 --> 00:12:22.531
Whose name was joseph, of the house of david;
00:12:22.598 --> 00:12:24.166
Of the house of david; and the virgin's name was mary.
00:12:24.233 --> 00:12:26.635
And the virgin's name was mary. and the angel came in unto her,
00:12:26.702 --> 00:12:28.170
And the angel came in unto her, and said, hail,
00:12:28.237 --> 00:12:29.004
And said, hail, thou that art highly favoured,
00:12:29.071 --> 00:12:31.073
Thou that art highly favoured, the lord is with thee:
00:12:31.140 --> 00:12:32.408
The lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
00:12:32.474 --> 00:12:35.211
Blessed art thou among women. and when she saw him,
00:12:35.277 --> 00:12:36.078
And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying,
00:12:36.145 --> 00:12:38.113
She was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind
00:12:38.180 --> 00:12:39.248
And cast in her mind what manner of
00:12:39.315 --> 00:12:39.849
What manner of salutation this should be.
00:12:39.915 --> 00:12:41.817
You know, this is amazing to me,
00:12:41.884 --> 00:12:43.319
You know, this is amazing to me, but religion, it...it's true
00:12:43.385 --> 00:12:47.456
That we have sinned,
00:12:47.523 --> 00:12:48.958
That we have sinned, and come short of
00:12:49.024 --> 00:12:49.558
And come short of the glory of god.
00:12:49.625 --> 00:12:50.559
And it is true
00:12:50.626 --> 00:12:51.293
And it is true that god came to save sinners.
00:12:51.360 --> 00:12:53.696
That god came to save sinners. and so, until you
00:12:53.762 --> 00:12:54.630
And so, until you come to the realization
00:12:54.697 --> 00:12:56.265
Come to the realization that you are a sinner
00:12:56.332 --> 00:12:57.933
That you are a sinner and that you need salvation,
00:12:58.000 --> 00:13:00.035
And that you need salvation, you can't be saved.
00:13:00.102 --> 00:13:01.770
You can't be saved. god doesn't save good people.
00:13:01.837 --> 00:13:03.172
God doesn't save good people. it says over in
00:13:03.239 --> 00:13:03.739
Romans, chapter 5,
00:13:03.806 --> 00:13:05.140
Romans, chapter 5, that he gave himself
00:13:05.207 --> 00:13:06.041
That he gave himself for the ungodly.
00:13:06.108 --> 00:13:07.776
Unless you are willing to admit
00:13:07.843 --> 00:13:09.545
Unless you are willing to admit that you are ungodly
00:13:09.612 --> 00:13:10.913
That you are ungodly and that you can't
00:13:10.980 --> 00:13:11.647
And that you can't save yourself,
00:13:11.714 --> 00:13:12.548
Save yourself, that you need a savior,
00:13:12.615 --> 00:13:14.250
That you need a savior, then you can't be saved.
00:13:14.316 --> 00:13:15.417
Then you can't be saved. so, it is true that we need to
00:13:15.484 --> 00:13:17.186
Recognize that we have sinned
00:13:17.253 --> 00:13:19.555
Recognize that we have sinned and come short of
00:13:19.622 --> 00:13:20.356
And come short of the glory of god, romans 3:23.
00:13:20.422 --> 00:13:23.192
But religion has emphasized this
00:13:23.259 --> 00:13:26.228
But religion has emphasized this even to people
00:13:26.295 --> 00:13:27.129
Even to people after they come into
00:13:27.196 --> 00:13:28.564
After they come into relationship with god,
00:13:28.631 --> 00:13:30.266
Relationship with god, and it has made people
00:13:30.332 --> 00:13:31.767
And it has made people so condemned
00:13:31.834 --> 00:13:33.702
So condemned and feeling so unworthy
00:13:33.769 --> 00:13:35.938
And feeling so unworthy and so separated from god
00:13:36.005 --> 00:13:37.606
That when an angel
00:13:37.673 --> 00:13:38.741
That when an angel came to mary and said, hail,
00:13:38.807 --> 00:13:40.910
Came to mary and said, hail, you that are highly favored...
00:13:40.976 --> 00:13:43.612
You that are highly favored... you know, the phrase
00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:44.480
You know, the phrase that was used highly favored,
00:13:44.546 --> 00:13:46.916
It's only used twice
00:13:46.982 --> 00:13:48.250
It's only used twice in all of the new testament,
00:13:48.317 --> 00:13:49.652
In all of the new testament, that greek word
00:13:49.718 --> 00:13:50.519
That greek word that was translated,
00:13:50.586 --> 00:13:51.220
That was translated, highly favored.
00:13:51.287 --> 00:13:51.954
Highly favored. the only other place it's used
00:13:52.021 --> 00:13:53.355
Is in ephesians, chapter 1,
00:13:53.422 --> 00:13:55.858
Is in ephesians, chapter 1, i believe it's verse 6,
00:13:55.925 --> 00:13:56.725
I believe it's verse 6, where it says we are
00:13:56.792 --> 00:13:57.693
Where it says we are accepted in the beloved.
00:13:57.760 --> 00:14:00.763
So it means highly favored.
00:14:00.829 --> 00:14:02.898
So it means highly favored. it means accepted.
00:14:02.965 --> 00:14:04.600
It means accepted. and this angel said,
00:14:04.667 --> 00:14:05.534
And this angel said, hail, you that are
00:14:05.601 --> 00:14:06.869
Hail, you that are highly favored,
00:14:06.936 --> 00:14:07.803
Highly favored, you that are accepted by god.
00:14:07.870 --> 00:14:10.239
You that are accepted by god. and mary said,
00:14:10.306 --> 00:14:11.073
And mary said, that's a strange greeting.
00:14:11.140 --> 00:14:13.275
That's a strange greeting. if he would have come and said,
00:14:13.342 --> 00:14:14.276
If he would have come and said, you sorry thing, you sinner,
00:14:14.343 --> 00:14:16.512
You sorry thing, you sinner, she probably would have
00:14:16.578 --> 00:14:17.146
She probably would have fallen on her face
00:14:17.212 --> 00:14:18.247
Fallen on her face and have said,
00:14:18.314 --> 00:14:18.580
And have said, boy, this must be god.
00:14:18.647 --> 00:14:20.416
Boy, this must be god. because see, that's the way
00:14:20.482 --> 00:14:21.417
Because see, that's the way we've been conditioned
00:14:21.483 --> 00:14:22.418
We've been conditioned that god is just this harsh,
00:14:22.484 --> 00:14:24.219
That god is just this harsh, angry god who is demanding,
00:14:24.286 --> 00:14:26.221
Angry god who is demanding, and you can never do enough.
00:14:26.288 --> 00:14:28.257
But no, this angel
00:14:28.324 --> 00:14:29.591
But no, this angel came and said, hail,
00:14:29.658 --> 00:14:30.659
Came and said, hail, you that are highly favored.
00:14:30.726 --> 00:14:33.329
You that are highly favored. and it says, the angel
00:14:33.395 --> 00:14:34.763
And it says, the angel said unto her, fear not, mary:
00:14:34.830 --> 00:14:37.333
Said unto her, fear not, mary: for thou hast found favour
00:14:37.399 --> 00:14:39.034
For thou hast found favour with god.
00:14:39.101 --> 00:14:40.836
With god. and, behold, thou shalt conceive
00:14:40.903 --> 00:14:42.438
And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth
00:14:42.504 --> 00:14:44.406
In thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call
00:14:44.473 --> 00:14:45.274
A son, and shalt call his name jesus.
00:14:45.341 --> 00:14:46.875
His name jesus. he shall be great,
00:14:46.942 --> 00:14:48.110
He shall be great, and shall be called
00:14:48.177 --> 00:14:48.811
And shall be called the son of the highest:
00:14:48.877 --> 00:14:50.479
The son of the highest: and the lord god
00:14:50.546 --> 00:14:52.247
And the lord god shall give unto him
00:14:52.314 --> 00:14:53.549
Shall give unto him the throne of his father david:
00:14:53.615 --> 00:14:55.184
The throne of his father david: and he shall reign over
00:14:55.250 --> 00:14:56.352
And he shall reign over the house of jacob for ever;
00:14:56.418 --> 00:14:58.787
The house of jacob for ever; and of his kingdom
00:14:58.854 --> 00:15:00.489
And of his kingdom there shall be no end.
00:15:00.556 --> 00:15:02.891
There shall be no end. then said mary unto the angel,
00:15:02.958 --> 00:15:04.126
Then said mary unto the angel, how shall this be,
00:15:04.193 --> 00:15:05.127
How shall this be, seeing i know not a man?
00:15:05.194 --> 00:15:07.162
Seeing i know not a man? boy, this was a great question
00:15:07.229 --> 00:15:08.397
Boy, this was a great question to ask.
00:15:08.464 --> 00:15:09.765
You know, the lord told abraham
00:15:09.832 --> 00:15:11.934
You know, the lord told abraham that he would have a child,
00:15:12.001 --> 00:15:13.702
That he would have a child, and he and his wife sarah
00:15:13.769 --> 00:15:15.637
And he and his wife sarah were barren,
00:15:15.704 --> 00:15:16.372
Were barren, and they tried for many years.
00:15:16.438 --> 00:15:17.740
And they tried for many years. and finally, he just figured
00:15:17.806 --> 00:15:19.074
And finally, he just figured he had to help the lord.
00:15:19.141 --> 00:15:20.743
He had to help the lord. and so, he went in
00:15:20.809 --> 00:15:22.011
And so, he went in to his wife's handmaid,
00:15:22.077 --> 00:15:24.279
To his wife's handmaid, in to his wife's slave, hagar,
00:15:24.346 --> 00:15:26.749
In to his wife's slave, hagar, and he had a child by hagar
00:15:26.815 --> 00:15:28.250
And he had a child by hagar named ishmael,
00:15:28.317 --> 00:15:29.585
Named ishmael, who became the father of
00:15:29.651 --> 00:15:30.586
Who became the father of all of the arabs.
00:15:30.652 --> 00:15:31.987
All of the arabs. and later, god appeared
00:15:32.054 --> 00:15:33.055
And later, god appeared and said, nope,
00:15:33.122 --> 00:15:33.689
And said, nope, that's not the way
00:15:33.756 --> 00:15:34.289
That's not the way it was going to happen.
00:15:34.356 --> 00:15:35.224
It was going to happen. it's not through
00:15:35.290 --> 00:15:36.291
It's not through your handmaiden,
00:15:36.358 --> 00:15:37.993
Your handmaiden, it's through your wife.
00:15:38.060 --> 00:15:39.361
It's through your wife. and there was
00:15:39.428 --> 00:15:39.928
And there was a miraculous birth
00:15:39.995 --> 00:15:41.597
A miraculous birth and isaac was born,
00:15:41.663 --> 00:15:43.699
And isaac was born, the father of all of the jews.
00:15:43.766 --> 00:15:45.434
The father of all of the jews. and so, the whole
00:15:45.501 --> 00:15:46.068
And so, the whole jewish-arab-israeli thing
00:15:46.135 --> 00:15:48.437
Jewish-arab-israeli thing came about
00:15:48.504 --> 00:15:49.138
Came about because somebody
00:15:49.204 --> 00:15:49.872
Because somebody didn't ask a question.
00:15:49.938 --> 00:15:51.540
Didn't ask a question. if abraham would've said,
00:15:51.607 --> 00:15:52.474
If abraham would've said, well sarah is not
00:15:52.541 --> 00:15:53.876
Well sarah is not having a child,
00:15:53.942 --> 00:15:54.610
Having a child, so should i go in to hagar?
00:15:54.676 --> 00:15:57.913
So should i go in to hagar? if he would've asked
00:15:57.980 --> 00:15:58.547
If he would've asked that question,
00:15:58.614 --> 00:15:59.214
That question, god would've told him no,
00:15:59.281 --> 00:16:00.482
God would've told him no, and it might have solved
00:16:00.549 --> 00:16:01.850
And it might have solved some of these problems
00:16:01.917 --> 00:16:02.751
Some of these problems that we have today.
00:16:02.818 --> 00:16:03.819
That we have today. there's nothing wrong
00:16:03.886 --> 00:16:04.753
There's nothing wrong with asking questions.
00:16:04.820 --> 00:16:06.655
With asking questions. it's about the motive
00:16:06.722 --> 00:16:08.323
It's about the motive behind your question.
00:16:08.390 --> 00:16:11.326
Behind your question. this exact same angel
00:16:11.393 --> 00:16:13.262
This exact same angel had appeared unto zacharias,
00:16:13.328 --> 00:16:15.864
Had appeared unto zacharias, the husband of elizabeth,
00:16:15.931 --> 00:16:17.533
The husband of elizabeth, who elizabeth was mary's cousin.
00:16:17.599 --> 00:16:19.835
Who elizabeth was mary's cousin. and in this same chapter
00:16:19.902 --> 00:16:21.036
And in this same chapter right before the verses
00:16:21.103 --> 00:16:21.870
Right before the verses i started reading,
00:16:21.937 --> 00:16:23.272
I started reading, gabriel appeared unto zacharias.
00:16:23.338 --> 00:16:25.407
Gabriel appeared unto zacharias. he was a priest,
00:16:25.474 --> 00:16:26.575
He was a priest, and he was offering sacrifices
00:16:26.642 --> 00:16:28.343
And he was offering sacrifices in the temple.
00:16:28.410 --> 00:16:30.512
In the temple. and the angel told him
00:16:30.579 --> 00:16:32.114
And the angel told him that his prayers were going
00:16:32.181 --> 00:16:33.148
That his prayers were going to...were heard
00:16:33.215 --> 00:16:34.116
To...were heard and that god was going to
00:16:34.183 --> 00:16:35.084
And that god was going to supernaturally allow him
00:16:35.150 --> 00:16:37.086
Supernaturally allow him and his wife, elizabeth,
00:16:37.152 --> 00:16:38.654
And his wife, elizabeth, to conceive and have a child.
00:16:38.720 --> 00:16:40.489
To conceive and have a child. and zacharias asked a question,
00:16:40.556 --> 00:16:43.592
And zacharias asked a question, and he says,
00:16:43.659 --> 00:16:44.093
And he says, how can this be
00:16:44.159 --> 00:16:45.494
How can this be seeing that i'm an old man?
00:16:45.561 --> 00:16:48.497
Seeing that i'm an old man? that was a question,
00:16:48.564 --> 00:16:49.231
That was a question, but it was
00:16:49.298 --> 00:16:49.698
But it was a question of disbelief.
00:16:49.765 --> 00:16:51.033
A question of disbelief. he was just stunned,
00:16:51.100 --> 00:16:52.067
He was just stunned, like, i don't believe this.
00:16:52.134 --> 00:16:53.268
Like, i don't believe this. how could this happen
00:16:53.335 --> 00:16:54.303
How could this happen since i'm an old man?
00:16:54.369 --> 00:16:55.671
Since i'm an old man? and this same angel, gabriel,
00:16:55.737 --> 00:16:59.007
And this same angel, gabriel, was not pleased
00:16:59.074 --> 00:17:00.542
Was not pleased with his unbelief
00:17:00.609 --> 00:17:02.044
With his unbelief and struck him with dumbness.
00:17:02.111 --> 00:17:04.046
And struck him with dumbness. he wasn't able to speak
00:17:04.113 --> 00:17:05.047
He wasn't able to speak until after john the baptist
00:17:05.114 --> 00:17:06.982
Until after john the baptist was born.
00:17:07.049 --> 00:17:07.916
Was born. so this exact same angel
00:17:07.983 --> 00:17:10.252
So this exact same angel responded totally different
00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:11.887
Responded totally different to zacharias' question
00:17:11.954 --> 00:17:13.922
To zacharias' question because it was a question
00:17:13.989 --> 00:17:14.823
Because it was a question of unbelief.
00:17:14.890 --> 00:17:16.358
Of unbelief. but here, mary, she didn't
00:17:16.425 --> 00:17:18.293
But here, mary, she didn't ask a question of unbelief.
00:17:18.360 --> 00:17:19.661
Ask a question of unbelief. she just asked a question
00:17:19.728 --> 00:17:20.729
She just asked a question for clarification.
00:17:20.796 --> 00:17:22.531
For clarification. how am i going to conceive
00:17:22.598 --> 00:17:24.800
How am i going to conceive and have a child?
00:17:24.867 --> 00:17:25.434
And have a child? she was a virgin.
00:17:25.501 --> 00:17:26.935
She was a virgin. she hadn't married yet.
00:17:27.002 --> 00:17:28.203
She hadn't married yet. now, she was engaged to joseph,
00:17:28.270 --> 00:17:30.906
Now, she was engaged to joseph, but they weren't married.
00:17:30.973 --> 00:17:31.840
But they weren't married. how is it going to happen?
00:17:31.907 --> 00:17:32.841
How is it going to happen? it's a good thing
00:17:32.908 --> 00:17:33.308
It's a good thing she asked the question
00:17:33.375 --> 00:17:34.176
She asked the question or she might have thought,
00:17:34.243 --> 00:17:35.110
Or she might have thought, well i...i need to hurry up
00:17:35.177 --> 00:17:36.512
Well i...i need to hurry up and have this physical
00:17:36.578 --> 00:17:37.546
And have this physical relationship with joseph
00:17:37.613 --> 00:17:39.982
Relationship with joseph so that i could conceive
00:17:40.048 --> 00:17:41.116
So that i could conceive and give birth to this son,
00:17:41.183 --> 00:17:42.751
And give birth to this son, and that would have
00:17:42.818 --> 00:17:43.385
And that would have messed the whole thing up.
00:17:43.452 --> 00:17:45.654
Messed the whole thing up. you know,
00:17:45.721 --> 00:17:46.021
You know, if jesus would've been born of
00:17:46.088 --> 00:17:48.123
If jesus would've been born of a man's seed, then
00:17:48.190 --> 00:17:51.593
The life of the flesh
00:17:51.660 --> 00:17:52.895
The life of the flesh is in the blood,
00:17:52.961 --> 00:17:53.829
And that would have been
00:17:53.896 --> 00:17:54.930
And that would have been conveyed through the man
00:17:54.997 --> 00:17:57.566
Conveyed through the man to the woman
00:17:57.633 --> 00:17:58.634
To the woman and jesus would have been born
00:17:58.700 --> 00:18:00.002
And jesus would have been born with a sinful nature
00:18:00.068 --> 00:18:01.203
With a sinful nature just like you and i were.
00:18:01.270 --> 00:18:02.738
Just like you and i were. all of us who've been born of
00:18:02.804 --> 00:18:04.773
All of us who've been born of our parents who are descendants
00:18:04.840 --> 00:18:06.742
Our parents who are descendants of adam and eve,
00:18:06.808 --> 00:18:08.010
Of adam and eve, that sinful nature is passed on.
00:18:08.076 --> 00:18:10.846
David said in psalms,
00:18:10.913 --> 00:18:11.947
David said in psalms, chapter 51,
00:18:12.014 --> 00:18:13.949
Chapter 51, he said, in sin did my mother
00:18:14.016 --> 00:18:16.018
He said, in sin did my mother conceive me.
00:18:16.084 --> 00:18:17.386
That didn't mean
00:18:17.452 --> 00:18:18.053
That didn't mean that he was conceived
00:18:18.120 --> 00:18:18.787
That he was conceived out of wedlock,
00:18:18.854 --> 00:18:19.821
Out of wedlock, that it was some kind of
00:18:19.888 --> 00:18:20.522
That it was some kind of an ungodly relationship.
00:18:20.589 --> 00:18:22.090
An ungodly relationship. it just means
00:18:22.157 --> 00:18:23.258
It just means that every one of us
00:18:23.325 --> 00:18:24.293
That every one of us were born with a sin nature.
00:18:24.359 --> 00:18:26.995
Were born with a sin nature. romans, chapter 7,
00:18:27.062 --> 00:18:28.130
Romans, chapter 7, amplifies on that and shows
00:18:28.197 --> 00:18:29.565
Amplifies on that and shows that we were all born
00:18:29.631 --> 00:18:31.300
That we were all born separated from god.
00:18:31.366 --> 00:18:33.268
Separated from god. so, if jesus would have been
00:18:33.335 --> 00:18:35.604
So, if jesus would have been born of the union of
00:18:35.671 --> 00:18:37.039
Born of the union of joseph and mary,
00:18:37.105 --> 00:18:39.241
Joseph and mary, then he would've been
00:18:39.308 --> 00:18:40.008
Then he would've been a corrupted, sinful man,
00:18:40.075 --> 00:18:42.878
A corrupted, sinful man, and he wouldn't have
00:18:42.945 --> 00:18:43.512
And he wouldn't have been able to redeem us.
00:18:43.579 --> 00:18:45.147
Been able to redeem us. his life wouldn't have been
00:18:45.214 --> 00:18:46.014
His life wouldn't have been worth the life of more than
00:18:46.081 --> 00:18:47.583
Worth the life of more than one other person.
00:18:47.649 --> 00:18:50.018
One other person. but since he was god
00:18:50.085 --> 00:18:52.487
But since he was god and he was born to a virgin,
00:18:52.554 --> 00:18:54.456
And he was born to a virgin, and the man did not pass on
00:18:54.523 --> 00:18:56.558
And the man did not pass on this sinful nature,
00:18:56.625 --> 00:18:58.627
This sinful nature, then jesus was
00:18:58.694 --> 00:18:59.928
Then jesus was god manifest in the flesh,
00:18:59.995 --> 00:19:02.898
God manifest in the flesh, and that made his life
00:19:02.965 --> 00:19:04.266
And that made his life worth more than the lives of
00:19:04.333 --> 00:19:06.468
Worth more than the lives of the entire human race
00:19:06.535 --> 00:19:07.903
The entire human race from all time past
00:19:07.970 --> 00:19:09.104
From all time past to all time future.
00:19:09.171 --> 00:19:11.073
To all time future. god was greater than
00:19:11.139 --> 00:19:13.408
God was greater than his creation,
00:19:13.475 --> 00:19:14.243
His creation, the sum of his creation.
00:19:14.309 --> 00:19:16.345
The sum of his creation. and because jesus was
00:19:16.411 --> 00:19:17.613
And because jesus was god manifest in the flesh,
00:19:17.679 --> 00:19:20.449
God manifest in the flesh, then his blood and his sacrifice
00:19:20.515 --> 00:19:23.585
Then his blood and his sacrifice was pure and holy,
00:19:23.652 --> 00:19:26.121
Was pure and holy, and it took that to atone for
00:19:26.188 --> 00:19:28.590
And it took that to atone for the sins of the whole world.
00:19:28.657 --> 00:19:30.359
The sins of the whole world. it's imperative that mary be
00:19:30.425 --> 00:19:33.495
It's imperative that mary be a virgin, and that's the reason
00:19:33.562 --> 00:19:35.831
A virgin, and that's the reason that god appeared to her.
00:19:35.897 --> 00:19:36.765
And then very next verse,
00:19:36.832 --> 00:19:38.734
And then very next verse, it says, and the angel answered
00:19:38.800 --> 00:19:40.102
It says, and the angel answered and said unto her,
00:19:40.168 --> 00:19:40.969
And said unto her, the holy ghost
00:19:41.036 --> 00:19:41.670
The holy ghost shall come upon thee,
00:19:41.737 --> 00:19:43.338
Shall come upon thee, and the power of the highest
00:19:43.405 --> 00:19:44.373
And the power of the highest shall overshadow thee:
00:19:44.439 --> 00:19:46.275
Shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing
00:19:46.341 --> 00:19:47.876
Therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee
00:19:47.943 --> 00:19:49.111
Which shall be born of thee shall be called the son of god.
00:19:49.177 --> 00:19:53.315
I mentioned this earlier,
00:19:53.382 --> 00:19:55.050
I mentioned this earlier, but the term son of man
00:19:55.117 --> 00:19:56.585
But the term son of man refers to the physical body
00:19:56.652 --> 00:19:58.887
Refers to the physical body of the lord jesus.
00:19:58.954 --> 00:19:59.888
Of the lord jesus. the term son of god refers to
00:19:59.955 --> 00:20:02.491
The term son of god refers to his divinity.
00:20:02.557 --> 00:20:03.792
His divinity. and the reason
00:20:03.859 --> 00:20:04.326
And the reason jesus would be called
00:20:04.393 --> 00:20:05.394
Jesus would be called the son of god...
00:20:05.460 --> 00:20:06.728
The son of god... in other words,
00:20:06.795 --> 00:20:07.195
In other words, he would be divine,
00:20:07.262 --> 00:20:08.664
He would be divine, he would be god in the flesh,
00:20:08.730 --> 00:20:10.766
He would be god in the flesh, was because the seed
00:20:10.832 --> 00:20:12.968
Was because the seed that it took for him to have
00:20:13.035 --> 00:20:14.503
That it took for him to have a physical body
00:20:14.569 --> 00:20:15.370
A physical body didn't come from a man,
00:20:15.437 --> 00:20:16.638
Didn't come from a man, but it came from god.
00:20:16.705 --> 00:20:18.373
But it came from god. and i mentioned this earlier,
00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:19.541
But over in 1 peter, chapter 1,
00:20:19.608 --> 00:20:21.410
But over in 1 peter, chapter 1, verse 23, it says,
00:20:21.476 --> 00:20:23.345
Verse 23, it says, being born again,
00:20:23.412 --> 00:20:24.479
Being born again, not of corruptible seed,
00:20:24.546 --> 00:20:26.315
Not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible seed,
00:20:26.381 --> 00:20:27.849
But of incorruptible seed, by the word of god,
00:20:27.916 --> 00:20:28.617
By the word of god, that lives and abides for ever.
00:20:28.684 --> 00:20:30.185
That lives and abides for ever. it calls the word of god
00:20:30.252 --> 00:20:31.320
It calls the word of god an incorruptible seed,
00:20:31.386 --> 00:20:33.689
An incorruptible seed, and that word seed
00:20:33.755 --> 00:20:34.956
And that word seed in the greek is, spora.
00:20:35.023 --> 00:20:37.159
That's how a flower pollinates
00:20:37.225 --> 00:20:38.827
That's how a flower pollinates and...and reproduces.
00:20:38.894 --> 00:20:40.595
And...and reproduces. and spora is a derivative of
00:20:40.662 --> 00:20:42.597
And spora is a derivative of the greek word, sperma,
00:20:42.664 --> 00:20:44.466
The greek word, sperma, where we get
00:20:44.533 --> 00:20:45.000
Where we get the word, sperm, from.
00:20:45.067 --> 00:20:46.768
The word, sperm, from. the word of god is a seed,
00:20:46.835 --> 00:20:49.738
The word of god is a seed, a sperm.
00:20:49.805 --> 00:20:52.207
A sperm. and what the angel did,
00:20:52.274 --> 00:20:53.775
And what the angel did, he came and instead of god just
00:20:53.842 --> 00:20:55.744
He came and instead of god just forcing this on mary...
00:20:55.811 --> 00:20:58.847
Forcing this on mary... you know, you don't have
00:20:58.914 --> 00:20:59.815
You know, you don't have a relationship
00:20:59.881 --> 00:21:00.849
A relationship where you get a woman pregnant
00:21:00.916 --> 00:21:03.318
Where you get a woman pregnant and force it upon her.
00:21:03.385 --> 00:21:04.820
And force it upon her. that's rape.
00:21:04.886 --> 00:21:06.388
That's rape. god didn't come and just force
00:21:06.455 --> 00:21:08.056
God didn't come and just force this upon mary.
00:21:08.123 --> 00:21:09.057
This upon mary. the angel appeared unto mary
00:21:09.124 --> 00:21:10.759
The angel appeared unto mary and basically issued a...
00:21:10.826 --> 00:21:15.263
And basically issued a... invitation for her
00:21:15.330 --> 00:21:16.531
Invitation for her to participate.
00:21:16.598 --> 00:21:17.733
To participate. it was a proposal.
00:21:17.799 --> 00:21:19.568
It was a proposal. mary, here's what god wants
00:21:19.634 --> 00:21:21.103
Mary, here's what god wants to do.
00:21:21.169 --> 00:21:22.604
To do. god has blessed you.
00:21:22.671 --> 00:21:23.839
God has blessed you. you're favored.
00:21:23.905 --> 00:21:25.741
You're favored. and he wants to conceive in you
00:21:25.807 --> 00:21:27.442
And he wants to conceive in you his own son,
00:21:27.509 --> 00:21:29.411
His own son, and you give birth to him.
00:21:29.478 --> 00:21:30.645
And you give birth to him. this will be the fulfillment of
00:21:30.712 --> 00:21:31.613
This will be the fulfillment of the old testament prophecy
00:21:31.680 --> 00:21:32.881
About a virgin shall conceive,
00:21:32.948 --> 00:21:35.217
About a virgin shall conceive, and bring forth a son.
00:21:35.283 --> 00:21:36.718
And bring forth a son. and so he made a proposal
00:21:36.785 --> 00:21:38.186
And so he made a proposal to mary.
00:21:38.253 --> 00:21:39.321
To mary. and look at what mary said.
00:21:39.388 --> 00:21:41.089
And look at what mary said. it says in verse 38,
00:21:41.156 --> 00:21:42.691
It says in verse 38, and mary said,
00:21:42.758 --> 00:21:43.692
And mary said, behold the handmaiden of
00:21:43.759 --> 00:21:44.993
Behold the handmaiden of the lord; be it unto me
00:21:45.060 --> 00:21:46.762
The lord; be it unto me according to thy word.
00:21:46.828 --> 00:21:48.897
According to thy word. and the angel departed.
00:21:48.964 --> 00:21:50.065
You know what she did?
00:21:50.132 --> 00:21:50.799
You know what she did? he explained to her
00:21:50.866 --> 00:21:52.100
He explained to her how this was going to happen.
00:21:52.167 --> 00:21:53.168
How this was going to happen. it wasn't going to happen
00:21:53.235 --> 00:21:54.035
It wasn't going to happen through her having
00:21:54.102 --> 00:21:54.770
Through her having a physical relationship
00:21:54.836 --> 00:21:56.138
A physical relationship with a man,
00:21:56.204 --> 00:21:56.938
With a man, but god himself,
00:21:57.005 --> 00:21:58.039
But god himself, the holy spirit
00:21:58.106 --> 00:21:59.574
The holy spirit would overshadow her.
00:21:59.641 --> 00:22:00.776
Would overshadow her. and she humbled herself
00:22:00.842 --> 00:22:02.444
And she humbled herself and received the word, the seed.
00:22:02.511 --> 00:22:05.847
And received the word, the seed. and the word of god
00:22:05.914 --> 00:22:07.749
And the word of god was the sperm,
00:22:07.816 --> 00:22:08.984
Was the sperm, the seed that conceived jesus.
00:22:09.050 --> 00:22:12.487
The seed that conceived jesus. so the supernatural part of
00:22:12.554 --> 00:22:14.923
So the supernatural part of the virgin birth was that a man
00:22:14.990 --> 00:22:17.359
The virgin birth was that a man didn't impregnate mary,
00:22:17.426 --> 00:22:18.727
Didn't impregnate mary, but the word of god
00:22:18.794 --> 00:22:20.829
But the word of god impregnated her.
00:22:20.896 --> 00:22:21.830
Impregnated her. the holy spirit took
00:22:21.897 --> 00:22:23.031
The holy spirit took all of these promises
00:22:23.098 --> 00:22:24.332
All of these promises that had been spoken
00:22:24.399 --> 00:22:25.300
That had been spoken for 4,000 years,
00:22:25.367 --> 00:22:28.170
For 4,000 years, and the word entered into mary,
00:22:28.236 --> 00:22:31.339
And the word entered into mary, and she conceived.
00:22:31.406 --> 00:22:32.374
And she conceived. that was the supernatural part.
00:22:32.441 --> 00:22:33.842
That was the supernatural part. but after that,
00:22:33.909 --> 00:22:35.143
But after that, all the rest of the pregnancy,
00:22:35.210 --> 00:22:36.778
All the rest of the pregnancy, the delivery was all natural.
00:22:36.845 --> 00:22:38.847
The delivery was all natural. it was the same way
00:22:38.914 --> 00:22:39.748
It was the same way that you and i were born,
00:22:39.815 --> 00:22:40.816
That you and i were born, but instead of a man
00:22:40.882 --> 00:22:41.783
But instead of a man providing the seed,
00:22:41.850 --> 00:22:42.451
The word of god was the seed.
00:22:43.084 --> 00:22:44.820
The word became flesh.
00:22:44.820 --> 00:22:47.155

I felt like the holy

Spirit said, you need to

Loves us because he is

Love, not because we are
00:26:06.921 --> 00:26:08.423
Lovely. it is because of who we
00:26:08.423 --> 00:26:10.792
Are in the spirit, that we
00:26:10.792 --> 00:26:12.127
Have a relationship with
00:26:12.127 --> 00:26:13.094
God, not our performance.

Unconditionally. he died for you

While you were sinner. he's not
00:26:21.536 --> 00:26:23.371
Going to give up on you

Grace that she walks in
00:26:30.178 --> 00:26:31.913
Is unearned and undeserved, it's
00:26:31.913 --> 00:26:34.315
Only through the acceptance of
00:26:34.315 --> 00:26:35.684
