1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:10,720
So if you're there you can stand.

2
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:21,680
We're going to read from verse 11, parable of the prodigal son

3
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:25,960
Then he said, a certain man had two sons and the younger of them said to his father, father

4
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:30,920
give me the portion of goods that falls to me. So he divided to them his livelihood and

5
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:36,680
not many days after the younger son gathered all together, journeyed to a far country and

6
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:41,520
there wasted his possessions with prodigal living. But when he had spent all there arose

7
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:46,280
a severe famine in that land and he began to be in want, then he went and joined himself

8
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:53,920
to a citizen of that country. Sent him into his fields to feed swine and he would gladly

9
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:58,880
have filled his stomach with the pods that the swine ate and no one gave him anything.

10
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:03,000
But when he came to himself he said, how many of my father's hired servants have bred enough

11
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:08,240
and to spare and I perish with hunger. I will arise and go to my father and will say to

12
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:13,520
him, father I have sinned against heaven and before you and I am no longer worthy to be

13
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:21,120
called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants. And he arose and came to his

14
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:25,720
father. But when he was still a great way off his father saw him and had compassion

15
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:30,720
and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him. And the son said to him, father I have sinned

16
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:35,440
against heaven and in your sight and I am no longer worthy to be called your son. But

17
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:39,560
the father said to his servants, bring out the best robe and put it on him and put a

18
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:45,120
ring on his hand and sandals on his feet and bring the fatted calf here and kill it and

19
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:51,100
let us eat and be merry for this my son was dead and is alive again. He was lost and his

20
00:01:51,100 --> 00:01:56,840
found and they began to be merry. Now his older son was in the field and as he came

21
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:01,640
in June near to the house heard music and dancing. So he called one of the servants

22
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:06,160
and asked what these things meant and he said to him, your brother has come and because

23
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:11,240
he has received him safe and sound your father has killed the fatted calf. But he was angry

24
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:15,880
and would not go in. Therefore his father came out and pleaded with him. So he answered

25
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:21,640
and said to his father, blow these many years I have been serving you I have never transgressed

26
00:02:21,640 --> 00:02:28,880
your cause and yet you never gave me a young goat that I might make merry with my friends.

27
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:33,620
But as soon as this son of yours came who has defoured your livelihood with harlots

28
00:02:33,620 --> 00:02:39,120
you killed the fatted calf for him. He said to him, son you are always with me and all

29
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:44,160
that I have is yours. It was right that we should make merry and be glad for your brother

30
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:53,360
was dead and is alive again and was lost. Lord I want to thank you right now for this

31
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:57,200
morning I want to thank you for baby Misha, I want to thank you for the precious gift

32
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:02,760
that you give us in children and I want to thank you also Lord that you have given. Lord

33
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:09,560
you gave us your son, you have given precious gift to the Lord Jesus Christ to us today

34
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:15,240
and I ask Lord through this message that Lord Jesus you would be completely and utterly

35
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:22,320
glorified through your word. Lord I am asking that Lord something profoundly happened today

36
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:28,000
in the hearts through faith, through hearing your word to us today. So I ask right now

37
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:33,440
Holy Spirit of God that you would anoint me. I am asking for authority in your power Lord

38
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:34,440
speak forth.

39
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:46,160
And by the way with the dedication I imagine there might be some new people here, visitors

40
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:52,280
who have come to witness that so special welcome to you thank you for joining us. So this is

41
00:03:52,280 --> 00:04:00,760
a, this is probably one of the most well known parables that Jesus taught and a parable is

42
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:11,040
a, it's an earthly story but it's got a heavenly meaning to it and to begin with Jesus speaks

43
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:18,480
about this son who runs away from home, this rebellious son who leaves the father's house

44
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:25,800
and goes and basically spends the inheritance that was rightfully his once his father died

45
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:35,080
on prodigal living which is just basically wasteful living and he ran away wasted everything

46
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:40,600
that he had, the sin that he had in his life because in that passage it says that he came

47
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:46,800
to himself he said I've sinned before heaven and my father and I'll return. His sin was

48
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:57,040
rebellion, it was self-indulgence, there was pride and there was also dishonour but he

49
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:04,080
hit rock bottom. He had tasted the world, he'd gone out and done everything his heart

50
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:10,540
desired but it didn't satisfy this man. He hit rock bottom and he came to a moment of

51
00:05:10,540 --> 00:05:18,440
clarity when he said what I really want is back at home with the father in the house

52
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:28,240
and the father represents God. I think that'll be obvious and this lost son or the younger

53
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:36,840
son I'll call him in verse 18, when he returned he said, when he was about to rather he said

54
00:05:36,840 --> 00:05:41,600
I will arise and go to my father and will say to him, father I have sinned against heaven

55
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:49,520
and before you and I am no longer worthy to be called your son, make me like one of your

56
00:05:49,520 --> 00:06:02,480
hide. So this man has lived for himself, spent his livelihood for shame and dishonour to

57
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:10,800
the family but in him coming home he knew he had a place back home. He'd sinned, he'd

58
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:16,160
fallen, he'd repented and he'd returned. That was all good and well but this son, this

59
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:26,240
younger son still didn't feel in a sense that he belonged because he came back to the father

60
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:32,840
and his intention was I'm not going to be accepted, I'm not going to be received, I'll

61
00:06:32,840 --> 00:06:38,320
come back but you know in the off chance maybe my father will make me a hired servant because

62
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:46,600
I'm no longer in my own witness and according to my own way I've lived don't actually belong

63
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:55,760
back in the father's house. And so this man like some of us today, he's fallen, we all

64
00:06:55,760 --> 00:07:02,560
fall, we all stumble but we don't actually know that we can actually come back to the

65
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:09,460
father's house with loving arms. See this man, he'd fallen and in a sense he's thinking

66
00:07:09,460 --> 00:07:15,360
to himself well I'll never actually match up, I'm never actually going to be good enough,

67
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:21,880
look at the life that I've led, I've stumbled and I've fallen numerous times, it'll be the

68
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:27,520
same thing he'd done over and over again but in his own estimation of himself he couldn't

69
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:34,080
see that God would, the father would welcome him back. He'd fallen so many times and he

70
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:41,340
didn't feel himself worthy to be accepted so there was a distance in a sense between

71
00:07:41,340 --> 00:07:46,600
him and the father because like I said he wanted to come back as a hired servant, not

72
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:52,680
in the original place he was as a son. So he felt there a distance, he didn't fully

73
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:58,400
understand his acceptance and he couldn't draw close, he couldn't draw close to the

74
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:02,200
father. Although he repented and though he confessed his sin and realised what he'd done

75
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:08,600
wrong he still felt there's still a gap between me and the father, I don't have that acceptance,

76
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:14,080
I don't feel like I'm still accepted, I will just sit under him, I'll just be like one

77
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:20,520
of the hired servants because that's all I'm worthy for and we can feel like that today.

78
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:25,680
You can feel like that sitting here today that God is just, he's always angry at me,

79
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,780
I just feel like he's always angry at me, I wake up in the morning and I feel like he's

80
00:08:28,780 --> 00:08:31,960
angry at me, I go to bed at night and he's angry at me. I don't know what I've done but

81
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:37,120
I always feel like a sense that I've done something wrong, that I don't measure up,

82
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:41,920
that I can't actually get into that place of liberty because one of the reasons Jesus

83
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:48,240
came was to set at liberty the captives and if you're listening to my voice today that

84
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:53,480
is for every single person in this room, every single person online, that he came to set

85
00:08:53,480 --> 00:09:00,600
at liberty the captives and so this first son had a measure of liberty, he still knew

86
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:07,240
that he could come back but there was like a sense that he couldn't draw close and even

87
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:15,000
today many outside the church don't feel like they can come in because they don't feel worthy,

88
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:21,160
I'm not good enough, I haven't lived the life that the people in the church or the way they

89
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:27,360
presume God looks on them have lived and you see this in the, if you turn over to Mark

90
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:34,160
Luke 18, this is another parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector and in verse 9, this

91
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:38,920
is another one he spoke, he spoke this parable to some who trusted in themselves and they

92
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:42,040
were righteous and they despised others.

93
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:46,320
Two men went up to the temple to pray Jesus said, one a Pharisee, so the Pharisee is the

94
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:53,720
really good one, he's the one completely righteous and he's the goody two shoes, that's the Pharisee

95
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:57,880
and the other a tax collector, that's like the modern day drug dealer, everyone despised

96
00:09:57,880 --> 00:09:58,880
him.

97
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:03,680
Now there's these two, the Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God I thank

98
00:10:03,680 --> 00:10:10,240
you that I'm not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers or even as this tax collector,

99
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:16,480
I fast twice a week, I give tithes of all that I possess and the tax collector standing

100
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:25,000
afar off, afar off, would not so much as raise his eyes to heaven but beat his breast saying,

101
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:32,520
God be merciful to me a sinner and Jesus said in verse 14, I tell you this man went down

102
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:39,560
to his house justified rather than the other for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled

103
00:10:39,560 --> 00:10:42,500
and he who humbles himself will be exalted.

104
00:10:42,500 --> 00:10:48,600
So this Pharisee thought his own estimation of his goodness and his righteousness, everything

105
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:54,380
he'd done commended him to God's acceptance and that's what a lot of people outside the

106
00:10:54,380 --> 00:10:57,200
church believe too, that they can't come in because they won't be accepted because they're

107
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:01,920
not good enough but yet Jesus said there's this other man who was afar off, couldn't

108
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:08,240
even lift his eyes because he was in deep shame and he knew his place before God as

109
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:14,480
a sinner but yet Jesus said this is the one who was justified, that word justified it's

110
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:21,600
like a meaning in a court, when you go to court and you are to receive your verdict,

111
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:27,960
if you are acquitted, that's what justification means, if you're acquitted that means you're

112
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:33,240
justified, it's done, there's a done deal where you are off.

113
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:42,800
Jesus said that this man, the man who couldn't even lift his eyes but in his own estimation

114
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:49,800
was a sinner, this is the one that Jesus said would be justified because the one who God

115
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:58,760
looks on and is merciful towards is the one who knows that he's not good enough and so

116
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:05,280
this man, the one who thought he wasn't good enough, this was the one who God actually

117
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:11,640
looked down on with love and mercy towards, the one who thought he wasn't worthy enough,

118
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:16,600
the one who thought he would never be good enough, that's the one who Jesus justified,

119
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:25,400
the one who he in Jesus' estimation was made righteous and see we know this other scripture

120
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:29,240
well but there's some of you that might know it, it's in Ephesians 2 verse 8 to 9, I'll

121
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:38,260
read it out, it says, for by grace you have been saved through faith and that not of yourself

122
00:12:38,260 --> 00:12:43,520
it is the gift of God, not of works lest anyone should boast.

123
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:51,640
So just as a Pharisee, his justification came through his good works and he was completely

124
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:57,080
justified in his own estimation of himself but this scripture says here that we are,

125
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:05,920
by grace we've been saved through faith, grace is God's unmerited and undeserved favour on

126
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:12,640
our lives, also means the free giving of God, so it's free, that's God's grace to us, you

127
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:17,040
show someone grace, you give them something that they don't deserve, God gives us freely

128
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:22,800
grace, faith also comes freely and that is what that scripture says, that's how we are

129
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:29,480
saved, it's by grace, if it's something we can earn, it's not grace, that's not grace,

130
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:34,740
if you can earn it, it's not grace, grace can only come freely and God gives it in abundant

131
00:13:34,740 --> 00:13:40,880
measure to us, he gives it and he offers it to the world, the free gift of grace, the

132
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:45,800
free gift of faith, faith in what? Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, faith that he died

133
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:51,560
the sinner's death, that he died, he rose again, reigns victoriously, has paid the cost

134
00:13:51,560 --> 00:14:04,560
for you and I, that's the faith we have in. So this man back in Luke 15, the one who had

135
00:14:04,560 --> 00:14:12,520
walked away and come back, now he may well have fallen, he may well have fallen numerous

136
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:25,000
times but in Romans 3 verse 23 to 24 it says, for all have sinned and fall short of the

137
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:34,420
glory of God, being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ

138
00:14:34,420 --> 00:14:43,840
Jesus. See, a lot of people and you may be one of them today, like I said, you feel like

139
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:48,440
you're in a place where maybe you've fallen, maybe it's each day, you feel like you can't

140
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:53,680
actually get ahead, that you're not actually measuring up before God's standard and you

141
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:59,600
feel condemned and you feel guilty, you just feel guilty all the time, you just live with

142
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:05,600
a sense of guilt over your life that I've got a, it's in my best interest and it's

143
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:10,800
in God's best interest that I just stay a foot away from him because I just can't draw

144
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:19,040
near him. But that's a lie, that's what guilt, guilt is always a result of accusation, that's

145
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:23,680
where guilt comes from, an accusation. You've got an enemy who is an accuser, you've got

146
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:28,320
your own thoughts that accuse yourself but you've also got an enemy, he's called Satan,

147
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:35,920
he's the accuser of the brethren. Now this scripture says that everyone has sinned, we've

148
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:43,480
all sinned, all of us, none of us have matched up to the glory of God, every person in the

149
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:49,800
world, even Aunty Thelma who's never done anything wrong, she's a sinner, unless she's

150
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:54,880
been washed by the blood of Jesus, unless she has been saved through faith in Jesus

151
00:15:54,880 --> 00:16:02,840
Christ. We are all in that place until we have received the Lord Jesus Christ. We have,

152
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:11,520
it says in that scripture, been declared righteous. So again that means justified. We have been

153
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:18,440
in that place of the courtroom, we've come before God as guilty and God the righteous

154
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:25,840
judge, the verdict should be guilty but he gives us innocent because we look to the party

155
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:31,760
in front of us who is Jesus on the cross and it is him that takes the punishment, it's

156
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:40,080
him that takes the guilt that we deserve. That is the free gift of salvation and through

157
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:49,960
that, receiving Jesus by faith, you and I are justified, like I said we've been acquitted,

158
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:54,120
we've been reckoned righteous because of what the Lord Jesus Christ has done by putting

159
00:16:54,120 --> 00:17:05,740
faith in him. So we day to day stand justified, we stand before God today with the righteousness

160
00:17:05,740 --> 00:17:13,000
of Christ, it's his righteousness that is given to us. It's his righteousness given

161
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:18,360
to us. So you stand each day justified and so I think many people believe and that's

162
00:17:18,360 --> 00:17:24,440
just a one off, it's done. The day you were born again, that's a once off. But you know

163
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:34,600
what, you're still, sometimes you're going to fall. But in that, you are being sanctified,

164
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:39,480
you are being made now more and more like Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit.

165
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:43,280
Each day you're becoming less of this and more of this, you're becoming less of this

166
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:50,080
and more of this and you are being sanctified by the Holy Spirit. Egypt, Israel rather,

167
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:57,080
left Egypt. They were redeemed through the blood on the doorpost, on the lintels on the

168
00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:03,040
doorpost, that took a day, that was a once off, a one day thing. It took 40 years however

169
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:08,160
to get Egypt out of Israel. That's sanctification, that's for us. So if you're sitting here today

170
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:12,160
thinking you know I just feel like I'm always guilty, I'm always condemned, I can never

171
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:24,600
match up. Christ is doing a work in you. You still stand justified, you still stand before

172
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:34,400
God with the righteousness of God. Now that's where some people get a little bit lost maybe

173
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:40,080
or they don't understand through ignorance that your justification, you stand today acquitted,

174
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:45,880
not guilty, that is forever. Yes you may fall but there is a work that God is doing in you

175
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:57,040
to transform you. Yes you may fall like this son did but you can come back to him because

176
00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:03,240
God is merciful. You can come back to him and receive mercy and forgiveness and he promises

177
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:10,680
he will wipe that away. He'll wipe that away in an instant. So you no longer need to stand

178
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:18,400
at a distance from God. It's not necessary that you stand any longer from a distance

179
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:26,400
because this protocol he didn't actually trust, he didn't trust in the complete finished work

180
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:32,320
of the cross because he didn't understand justification. He didn't completely understand

181
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:38,680
that I can come back to a loving God into his loving arms and his arms that are completely

182
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:45,360
merciful and compassionate. He didn't believe he could come in, he thought I would just

183
00:19:45,360 --> 00:19:52,160
come in as something else. I'm not welcome anymore, I can come in as a hired servant

184
00:19:52,160 --> 00:20:02,360
and so that is not for us today. That is not for us. It is, you know, it feels like it's

185
00:20:02,360 --> 00:20:09,120
our human nature to work. That's our human nature. You see it from the book of Genesis.

186
00:20:09,120 --> 00:20:13,920
We feel like we have to earn something so when we fall, many of you feel like I now

187
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:18,640
have to earn my way back to God. I need to maybe I need to start getting up, I'm going

188
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:22,200
to get up early every morning God and I'm going to read my Bible and I'm going to make

189
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:26,720
my way back to you and you'll be happy with me. Or I'm going to start praying more and

190
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,680
you're going to be happy with me, I'm going to do this, I'm going to do that and you're

191
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:36,680
going to be happy with me and that could just be maybe not so forthright but subtly in our

192
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:41,880
mind we can have that mindset like I've got to work my way back to God. But God doesn't

193
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:49,840
say that, he just says come freely, he says come to me because you see when this son came

194
00:20:49,840 --> 00:21:01,440
back he received God's love. He came back, this son was expecting, you know my father

195
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:10,200
is just going to make me like one of the hired servants, I have accepted that but he doesn't.

196
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:15,640
He says nothing of the sort. He says when he comes back to him that he gave and completely

197
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:22,840
honoured and loved him. He said in verse 22 when he returned, well 20 rather, he arose

198
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:27,100
and came to his father but when he was still a great way off his father saw him and had

199
00:21:27,100 --> 00:21:32,360
compassion and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him and the son said to him, father

200
00:21:32,360 --> 00:21:36,520
I have sinned against heaven and in your sight and no longer worthy to be called your son

201
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:44,800
but the father said to his servants, banish him forever, I don't want to know about him.

202
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:49,320
He says, no he didn't say that, he said but the father said to his servants bring out

203
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:53,880
the best robe and put it on him and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet and

204
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:58,080
bring the fatacuff here and kill it and let us eat and be merry. There was so much joy

205
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:02,240
in the house, there was no mention of his wrongdoings because he'd repented and come

206
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:08,480
back. See that's God's love for us. These things, the ring, the robe, the fatacuff,

207
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:13,560
these things were things that honoured the son and they demonstrated God's love for us,

208
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:23,480
for you and I, regardless of what we've done, regardless, sin is sin before God. Sin is

209
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:28,480
sin before God, that's why we celebrate communion, we remember what the blood has done, we remember

210
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:34,160
what the cross has done, we remember what Jesus has done through the death and I want

211
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:41,360
to actually look at what Paul said in Galatians 2.19 and I'll read it and then I'm going

212
00:22:41,360 --> 00:22:47,840
to explain it. Galatians 2.19 he says, for I through the law died to the law that I might

213
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:53,200
live to God. I have been crucified with Christ, it is no longer I who live but Christ lives

214
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:58,240
in me and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God who

215
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:04,500
loved me and gave himself for me. I do not set aside the grace to God for if righteousness,

216
00:23:04,500 --> 00:23:10,760
so if goodness in other words, comes through the law doing good things then Christ died

217
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:18,520
in vain. So not only do we have to have the revelation of God's love and actually know

218
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:22,720
and receive that by faith that when we come to him but we've got to actually like Paul

219
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:29,800
said walk by faith, he's saying in essence that he couldn't keep the law, the religious

220
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:34,480
rules of do's and do not's, he couldn't do it, he said that law is killing me, not the

221
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:40,320
law itself but inside me I can't do it, I just can't do it, it just kills me to do it.

222
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:46,160
He's saying I've died to the law, my life is hidden with Christ now by faith in what

223
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:52,680
he has done, he is in me and I am in him and it's all by his grace, again there's that

224
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:58,600
word that free giving of God, it was trusting in God's power, Paul was trusting in God's

225
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:04,920
power to change him, to sanctify him through the Holy Spirit but he was also trusting in

226
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:10,000
the justification, his right standing before God, remember that justification, he quitted,

227
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:15,960
he was rightfully made when he received Christ as Lord and Saviour, he's trusting in him

228
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:20,520
completely, you can't substitute anything for faith in this walk, as a Christian you

229
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:26,480
cannot substitute anything, no efforts, no works, no charitable deeds, no service, it's

230
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:35,920
all as Paul said by faith, it's by faith we receive the work of the cross, it's by faith

231
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:42,760
in what Jesus has done and that might sound very elementary but I want to tell you sometimes

232
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:51,080
we can fall and suddenly begin to think that we can't draw near to God, just suddenly,

233
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:54,840
like Paul wrote to the Galatians and he's saying you've fallen from grace, I think it

234
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:58,680
was the Galatians, he said you've fallen from grace, you're coming back under rules, you're

235
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:03,880
trying to earn your way to me, you're trying to earn your salvation, you're trying to earn

236
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:11,640
everything and please me by your good works, in essence that's what he's saying to them.

237
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:22,800
Now like I said having the revelation of God's love for us, that's what this son needed,

238
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:27,720
he needed to have the revelation of God's love for him that he could come back into

239
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:32,080
open arms, no questions asked, he'd already repented, he'd already confessed his sin as

240
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:39,560
long as we do that but he also had these accusations and like I said you have an enemy that you

241
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:46,040
need to deal with, you have an enemy who is the accuser of the brethren, his name is Satan

242
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:52,800
and we overcome him it says in Revelation chapter 12 verse 11, we overcome Satan actually

243
00:25:52,800 --> 00:26:02,440
starting verse 12, in verse 11 it says, verse 10, then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven

244
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:06,800
now salvation and strength and the kingdom of our God and the power of his Christ have

245
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:12,880
come for the accuser of our brethren who accused them before our God day and night has been

246
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:18,080
cast down and they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony

247
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,320
and they did not love their lives to the death.

248
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:23,720
So the first condition is that they firstly don't love their lives to the death but they

249
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:30,320
overcame Satan, they overcame those accusations of I'm not good enough, all this guilt that

250
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:36,960
people are living with, the condemnation, the accusation, we overcome that by it says

251
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:40,920
there the word of the Lamb, the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony so we can

252
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:46,640
actually when we are getting accused we don't have to receive them, those thoughts you have

253
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:52,440
to reject them, you have to speak against them and go no I've been sanctified, I've

254
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:56,800
been washed clean by the blood of Jesus, I've been redeemed, I've been cleansed, I've been

255
00:26:56,800 --> 00:27:01,320
delivered and you speak the word of God over those accusations and they will leave because

256
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:08,320
they are only thoughts, that is how you overcome, you speak and you testify to what the blood

257
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:13,200
of Jesus has done for you in your life according to the word of God, you speak that word, that

258
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:16,800
is your weapon, you speak that word over your mind, you speak to those thoughts, you reject

259
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:21,080
those thoughts, go no I'm not coming under that, I've been washed, I've been cleansed,

260
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:29,000
I've been redeemed, I'm not living guilty anymore, I've been set free, I've been set

261
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:33,320
on high by the Lord Jesus Christ, I am set at liberty.

262
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:37,400
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.

263
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:51,320
Now, that was the first son, now this second son, he didn't have the love of God either,

264
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,280
what was his problem?

265
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:55,880
Self-righteousness.

266
00:27:55,880 --> 00:28:02,720
He was self-righteous when his brother came and returned as joy, you know he should have

267
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:07,360
been joyful, he should have been so excited just as God the Father was, he wasn't, he

268
00:28:07,360 --> 00:28:13,080
said in verse 25, he was what?

269
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:16,960
In the field and as he came in near to the house he heard music and dancing so he called

270
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:20,560
one of the servants and asked what these things meant and he said to him, your brother has

271
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:25,200
come and because he has received him safe in the sound, your father has killed the fat

272
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:30,980
calf and this is his response, he was angry and would not go in, therefore his brother

273
00:28:30,980 --> 00:28:35,240
came out and pleaded with him so he answered and said to his father, lo, these many years

274
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:41,680
I've been serving you, I never transgressed your commandment at any time and yet you never

275
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:45,480
gave me a young goat that I might make merry with my friends but as soon as this son of

276
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:50,080
yours came who has devoured your livelihood with harlots, you killed the fat calf for

277
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:54,920
him and he said to him, son you are always with me and all that I have is yours, it was

278
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:59,680
right that we should make merry and be glad for your brother, he was dead, your brother

279
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,440
was dead and is alive again and was lost and is found.

280
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:10,640
See God distinguishes men and women in the complete universe by not good and bad but

281
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:16,440
lost and found, that's the only one, you fall into one or two categories and this son, the

282
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:23,520
older son, he's saying, I've never done anything wrong, I've been perfect my whole life and

283
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:28,840
he probably was, I've never sworn, I've never stolen, I've never got drunk, I've never killed

284
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:35,720
anyone, I've filled out my tax report right, I did the Clean Up Australia Day every year,

285
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:43,520
everything he did was right and it was good but what was the problem?

286
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:48,760
It was self-righteousness, he thought he was justified so his example of himself being

287
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:57,760
justified before God wasn't Jesus, it was his own works, it was like the Pharisee, I've

288
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:02,840
perfected my way, I've done it, I've done it all, I've earned my way to God in everything

289
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:06,840
I've done, I've pleased him, I've done it all, I've never done anything wrong but the

290
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:11,600
Pharisee, he didn't receive salvation, it was a humble sinner, he couldn't even lift

291
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:15,240
his eyes to heaven, the tax collector, the one that everyone looked down on which is

292
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:24,000
like the first son, he felt like he was justified, he strived all his life and he was angry,

293
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:28,840
I've never done anything like this, I've never done anything like him but you know what,

294
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:35,880
in Isaiah 53 verse 6, this is a prophecy of what Jesus came to do, what he was going

295
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:39,720
to do, what he was going to be, everything he was going to redeem us from and in verse

296
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:44,560
6 he says, this is a prophecy though from Isaiah, he says, all we like sheep have gone

297
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:48,920
astray, this is before we received Christ, all we like sheep have gone astray, we have

298
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:55,280
turned everyone to his own way and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all, so

299
00:30:55,280 --> 00:31:01,400
not exactly a terrible crime, I don't read anything there, anything completely wrong

300
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:07,960
initially, we haven't committed terrible crime, it doesn't say we have all committed murder,

301
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:12,720
it doesn't say we've even got drunk, it just says we've gone our own way, that's the sin

302
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:20,320
that God held against mankind, we've gone our own way, we've been rebellious, self-pleasers,

303
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:25,760
we've lived by our own standards just like that older son, his standards that he lived

304
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:31,960
by, I can't believe you forgave him Dad, he spent your whole livelihood, everything

305
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:37,360
he did and he came back and here I am, I've done everything right, I've never done anything

306
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:42,440
wrong and you can't even, you've never done anything for me because he didn't have the

307
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:46,880
love of God, the Father said everything I have is freely yours, it's always been yours

308
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:50,560
but he couldn't enter in, he couldn't receive it because he didn't have the love of God,

309
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:55,180
like both hadn't had the love of God, the older brother who condemned the younger brother,

310
00:31:55,180 --> 00:32:00,640
he could not receive it, he didn't have, he couldn't receive into what God had for him,

311
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:05,160
the liberty that he had for him because he didn't receive the love of God, he was there

312
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:13,840
in his own world working his way to goodness, he didn't understand the free gift of grace

313
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:19,840
that God had given because remember grace can't be earned, we've got to receive it freely

314
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:25,560
and it's a gift, this man, this older son, he couldn't, he couldn't receive the grace,

315
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:30,560
he wanted to be justified by his own merits, I'm going to get to God and it's going to

316
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:37,560
be from everything I do, so I want to ask you as I close, and this is a serious question,

317
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:45,000
I'm talking to a church, I'm talking to mainly Christians here, have you received God's free

318
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:54,640
gift of grace? Have you received that free gift, that precious gift, been saved by grace

319
00:32:54,640 --> 00:33:06,400
through faith? Have you received it? Or just subtly are you doing things that are earning

320
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:13,980
you favour, earning you brownie points so to speak to God that he will be more accepting

321
00:33:13,980 --> 00:33:24,040
of you? Just subtly, just the stings you just, just subtly, if I don't read my Bible for

322
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:31,480
10 minutes every day, I don't feel like I've done enough that day. That slight, it's a

323
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:37,800
millimetre but it moves you, it moves you out of that place where you're not in the

324
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:44,600
grace, you're not in the love, you're moving into rules, moving back under the law, also

325
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:48,960
it's going to kill you when you live like that because there's no liberty, that older

326
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:53,800
son had no liberty, he was angry, he was rebellious, he did everything right though, on the outside

327
00:33:53,800 --> 00:34:04,120
he looked great, he didn't put a foot out of, yeah you know what I mean, he was perfect.

328
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:08,840
How do you know, this is the scripture I'm going to finish with, how do you know where

329
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:17,080
you are? How do I know where I'm at? Am I in grace, am I in the love of God or am I

330
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:24,240
still working and self-righteous? This is an honest question for us and this, with this

331
00:34:24,240 --> 00:34:29,560
I close, this is Isaiah 61 verse 10, again this is a prophecy given about what the Lord

332
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:36,500
Jesus would do, what has come and he's already done it. Isaiah 61, 10, I will greatly rejoice

333
00:34:36,500 --> 00:34:41,200
in the Lord, he's talking about God's people that are going to be redeemed, my soul shall

334
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:45,960
be joyful in my God for he has clothed me with the garment of salvation, he has covered

335
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:51,640
me with the robe of righteousness as a bridegroom decks himself with ornaments and as a bride

336
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:58,360
adorns herself with jewels. I'm going to read those first few lines, I will greatly rejoice,

337
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:03,560
are you rejoicing in what God has done? You're rejoicing in your own merit, your own works,

338
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:08,080
your own goodness, our soul shall be joyful, is there joy, do you have a joy? When we come

339
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:12,960
to Christ it's righteousness, peace and joy, the peace and joy are the expressions of the

340
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:18,760
righteousness that you've received, the righteousness of Christ through faith in him. Do you have

341
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:25,240
the joy? That's an indicator, do you have that joy? He has clothed me with the garments

342
00:35:25,240 --> 00:35:30,120
of salvation, he has covered me with the robe of righteousness. Now it says my soul shall

343
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:37,900
be joyful in my God, that's not just religion, that's salvation, there's no religion there,

344
00:35:37,900 --> 00:35:43,640
there's no legalism, there's no works, there's no law, it's all freely given by God and it's

345
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:53,960
all freely received. Now have you received the gift of grace through faith and through

346
00:35:53,960 --> 00:36:00,680
that you're justified, you are quitted before God sees Christ in you, the righteousness

347
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:10,280
of Christ? Are you believing in the goodness of your own works? And you know there'll be

348
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:18,360
another way you tell because if a drug dealer or a heroin addict walked through that door

349
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:30,680
or a prostitute, how your heart responds, I'll tell you. I am more than welcoming to

350
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:34,840
any person, it doesn't matter what their background they walk through, I want those people to

351
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:41,000
come in, they're like the modern day tax collectors, they're the ones that Christ died for and

352
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:48,680
they're the ones we ought to welcome. I just want to pray for us because this is something

353
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:53,880
we need to consider, it's not a light message, straightforward but it's not light. Father

354
00:36:53,880 --> 00:37:01,640
I want to just acknowledge right now that everything, everything we have, like our whole

355
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:08,320
being our salvation Lord, it all comes from you but everything Lord comes through your

356
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:13,400
grace Lord. I want to thank you for your grace Lord that is free, I want to thank you for

357
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:18,720
the gift of faith that is free, I want to thank you that Lord we have in Christ's redemption,

358
00:37:18,720 --> 00:37:23,200
we have deliverance, we have salvation all through the precious blood of the Lord Jesus

359
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:29,920
Christ. I want to thank you Father God, your word declares that we receive it by faith.

360
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:35,360
I'm asking right now Lord, by your Spirit you would show each of us Lord where we stand

361
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:41,520
before you. Lord I'm asking Lord there would be a restart in us where we have fallen from

362
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:49,220
grace Lord and we are moving to works, faith plus works maybe. Father God I'm asking by

363
00:37:49,220 --> 00:37:55,120
your Spirit Lord you would show us here today where we are at. Lord it's only you, you are

364
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:58,900
the revealer Holy Spirit of our hearts, it's only you who can reveal Lord what is truly

365
00:37:58,900 --> 00:38:06,280
deep Lord in our hearts and in our motives, in our actions, in our thoughts. So I'm asking

366
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:11,760
right now Lord, I'm asking you would do something so wonderful and so powerful and Lord I want

367
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:19,280
to lift up every person here who has been walking condemned, they feel constantly guilty

368
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:24,760
like you are angry with them. I'm asking right now Lord, it's just a measure of love Lord

369
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:29,400
that they have not had revealed to them. I'm asking Lord because you have already shared

370
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:34,020
abroad that love by your Holy Spirit into each of our hearts. So I'm asking right now

371
00:38:34,020 --> 00:38:38,480
Lord it would be revealed in a deeper measure. We would have the great revelation of your

372
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:45,300
love for each of us personally. Lord we don't want to know intellectually that you love

373
00:38:45,300 --> 00:38:49,880
us. Father God we're asking for a relationship, we're asking for that loving relationship

374
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:54,440
Lord so we know that we can draw near to you that you are so forgiving and you are loving,

375
00:38:54,440 --> 00:39:00,480
you are compassionate, you are merciful. I thank you Lord Jesus for your blood and Lord

376
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:04,680
those people who are struggling Lord with guilt and accusation, Father God I'm asking

377
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:10,640
right now Lord you would come and you would scatter every accusation, Lord you would scatter

378
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:14,800
every one of those enemies. I'm asking Lord that those minds would be completely renewed

379
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:18,880
and transformed through the washing of your word Lord. They would know today Lord that

380
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:23,420
the blood has set them free, that they no longer live condemned, they no longer live

381
00:39:23,420 --> 00:39:28,720
guilty but Lord they would know your love, they would know Lord that you have set those

382
00:39:28,720 --> 00:39:33,960
captives free. Lord I declare right now liberty over every person, those Lord who have been

383
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:38,600
walking like the lost son. Father God I'm asking right now Lord you would bring liberty

384
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:42,720
to their lives, those that have been walking like the older son. Father God I'm asking

385
00:39:42,720 --> 00:39:48,520
right now Lord they would be set on high Lord, they would be completely liberated today.

386
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:55,480
Father God we would be a people who walk by faith, completely by faith and under your

387
00:39:55,480 --> 00:40:22,360
grace walking in and through it, receiving it and ask it in Jesus name, Amen.
