A Body You Have Prepared For Me

1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:05,000
Welcome back to our Advent
series.

2
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:11,200
Hopefully the last two have been
good and have been what's the

3
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:14,240
word I'm looking for
replenishing for you.

4
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,080
That is a, that is a better word
than good.

5
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,960
Hope they've been not just good,
but very good or very, very

6
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:22,160
good.
Oh, yeah.

7
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:25,560
So this is this is week #3 we
got one more week, which is

8
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:27,320
Christmas.
Is Christmas week, Yeah.

9
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,000
So I think it'll hit on
Christmas Eve, right?

10
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:31,680
Wednesday is Christmas Eve,
right?

11
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,800
I, I, I don't know, I think
Wednesday is Christmas.

12
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,640
Oh, are are we?
I think it is because it's been

13
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:41,320
such a headache to manage.
I have to, that's why.

14
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:43,320
You've been looking at me weird
every time I've been saying

15
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:46,120
Thursday.
Get out our podcast and listen

16
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:50,600
to it on the 26th.
You know, it's, it's smack dab

17
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:54,080
in the middle of the week, which
makes it hard when you're trying

18
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,920
to like approve people's PTO and
stuff and everyone just wants to

19
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,600
like take the whole week because
it's like that makes sense.

20
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,960
Weekends on each side.
So it's easier when it's like on

21
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,640
a Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

22
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:08,400
So you're tracking this.
So this is.

23
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:09,560
This is.
Yeah, yeah.

24
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:15,960
So we we'll have this one and
then the next bonus will be a be

25
00:01:15,960 --> 00:01:16,800
Christmas Day.
It'll.

26
00:01:16,960 --> 00:01:21,080
It'll be so.
So we went through John 1, that

27
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,960
was week 1 and then week two we
went through.

28
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:25,960
Prophecies.
Prophecies.

29
00:01:25,960 --> 00:01:28,800
That's right.
And Week 3 listener, guess where

30
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:30,920
we're at.
We're in the New Testament.

31
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:35,280
It's a famous Christmas passage.
It's a famous Christmas passage.

32
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,000
We talked to Michael, which is
good.

33
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:38,400
It should be a famous Christmas
passage.

34
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,880
It's it's one of those under the
radar.

35
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:44,120
No one thinks of Christmas.
But then you read like, oh, this

36
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:44,800
makes sense.
Why?

37
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:46,320
Why Michael would say this?
Yeah, yeah.

38
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:50,560
And I'm not saying this the name
drop, I'm just saying to give

39
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,360
credit where credit is due.
You probably know where this is

40
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:53,800
going.
Well.

41
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,480
I think we all do.
Doesn't need to be said, yeah.

42
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,720
Greg Cokel But yeah, so he he
would say this is, you know, the

43
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:04,000
famous Christmas passage that
most people don't think about

44
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,280
for Christmas, but Hebrews 10.
And maybe we could just start

45
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:08,759
reading at the beginning.
And you know what?

46
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,080
I'm in NASB 15.
But how they handle this quote

47
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,480
from the Old Testament?
Yeah, I it's not I don't think

48
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:16,760
it's the best how they handle
it.

49
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:18,880
It doesn't read very smoothly.
So I'm going to switch over to

50
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,800
CSB for for this one all.
Right, held my breath that you

51
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,400
might say ESB, but not today,
not today, not ever.

52
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,440
I can.
Do it ESB it's fine.

53
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:30,880
It's fine.
No CSBI know.

54
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:37,840
All right, so ESV Hebrews 10 and
we'll just start in verse one.

55
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,320
For since the law has but a
shadow of the good things to

56
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:45,960
come instead of the true form of
these realities, it can never by

57
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,160
the same sacrifices that are
continually offered every year,

58
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:50,840
make perfect those who draw
near.

59
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,400
Otherwise would they not have
ceased to be offered, since the

60
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,960
worshippers have once been
cleansed, would no longer have

61
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:02,400
any consciousness of sin.
But in these sacrifices there is

62
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:06,200
a reminder of sins every year,
for it is impossible for the

63
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,800
blood of bulls and goats who
take away sins consequently.

64
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,760
Now here's our Christmas
passage.

65
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:16,640
When Christ came into the world,
he said, sacrifices and

66
00:03:16,640 --> 00:03:20,960
offerings you have not desired,
but a body you have prepared for

67
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,040
me.
In burnt offerings and sin

68
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,120
offerings you have taken no
pleasure.

69
00:03:25,640 --> 00:03:30,320
Then I said, Behold, I have come
to do the will of you, O God, as

70
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,320
it is written of me in the
scroll of the book.

71
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,280
That's good.
Yeah, I, I, I unconsciously

72
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,520
slipped into NSB a couple
phrases and switched some words

73
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,480
around and I, I was like in the
middle of reading it.

74
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:46,960
So if you're following along in
ESV, just overlook my NASB

75
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:48,000
intrusions.
But yeah.

76
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,400
Now that that that's great and
like the author of Hebrews does

77
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:55,040
so well, it's just always
comparing and contrasting and

78
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:59,280
saying the blood, the blood of
these animals impossible and

79
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:01,280
then go straight to Christ.
Right.

80
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,160
Yeah, yeah, and I get a little
tear eyed 'cause you think of

81
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,560
baby Jesus.
Yeah, that's his body.

82
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,400
And if you ever listen to the
song, Welcome to our world.

83
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,440
Oh man, Tearjerker for me.
Maybe not for you, but.

84
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:13,960
I, I, I don't know songs very
well.

85
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:15,960
I'm sure I don't know titles and
stuff.

86
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:16,959
I need to, like, hear it, you
know?

87
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,120
Yeah, but kind of talks about
the same thing, you know, tiny

88
00:04:20,519 --> 00:04:23,400
brow, you know, created for the
crown of thorns and stuff.

89
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:23,840
So.
Oh, wow.

90
00:04:23,840 --> 00:04:24,920
It's it's crazy.
Yeah.

91
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:29,000
But yeah, that is, you know, we
think of Christmas, all of the

92
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,040
nice things, you know, the
nativity and stuff.

93
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:36,720
But he came into the world to be
a sacrifice for us.

94
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:42,080
No good thing to contemplate, to
think about, set your mind on as

95
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:43,760
we're, you know, just just one
week away.

96
00:04:43,840 --> 00:04:44,920
Keep thinking about these
things.

97
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:51,240
And then next week tuning in,
you might, you might be hearing

98
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,160
Michael's, Michael's voice come
through.

99
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:54,960
You might not.
We're it's still up in the air.

100
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,240
Yeah.
I mean, maybe we can just commit

101
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:58,240
to it.
I, I don't know.

102
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,440
Yeah.
Yeah, let's let's just let's

103
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:01,960
commit.
That's great.

104
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,600
So.
So next week I I'll I'll read

105
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:09,280
through Luke 2 and then maybe
math YouTube will see how long

106
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,680
it is.
Because it's Christmas morning,

107
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:13,760
kids are everywhere.
You got your hands full, you got

108
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:15,680
coffee in the hand.
We're just trying to make it

109
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:16,840
easy.
On you trying to make it easy

110
00:05:16,840 --> 00:05:19,160
like pull it up, boom.
Boom.

111
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:20,840
Take two.
There's there's.

112
00:05:20,840 --> 00:05:22,360
Scripture.
It's as simple as, you know,

113
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,800
pulling it up on your iPad,
hitting that like button and

114
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,440
then hitting play.
Like, share, comment and then

115
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:29,240
play.
Yeah, yeah.

116
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:35,280
But yeah, and then yeah, you can
hear the just Michael's voice

117
00:05:35,280 --> 00:05:39,600
just come through that that
audio book voice hit you and

118
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,320
you're and you're gonna say,
man, maybe maybe not audio book,

119
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,280
maybe get a get on dwell or
something.

120
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,120
That's that might be the move.
Wow, that's a that's a

121
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,080
commitment there.
People who record reading

122
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,240
through the Bible.
I always feel bad when they get

123
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,800
to the Old Testament names.
Oh, you get those chapters like

124
00:05:56,840 --> 00:06:00,000
even like in the starting of
First Chronicles, Ezra goes

125
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:01,480
through all those different
names and.

126
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:05,640
Ezra Nehemiah AI mean it's
everywhere but they'll like a

127
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:07,760
Nehemiah will reference an
account in Ezra that we already

128
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:09,120
went through these names, but
like hey, let's go through the

129
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:16,320
names again. 11 character in
Ezra Nehemiah is Shecheniah and

130
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,880
this is I don't know why I'm
saying this, but impact we've

131
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:22,920
affectionately named Christopher
and Emily's baby baby Shek and I

132
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:24,560
we're just keeping we're keeping
the name going.

133
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:26,800
All the that's a terrible.
I mean, it's a hard, hard to

134
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:27,760
read.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

135
00:06:27,840 --> 00:06:32,160
So Christ came into the world to
be a sacrifice.

136
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:36,000
And then next week, TuneIn and
we'll read scripture for you.

137
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:37,640
You can.
Bob it and do that.

138
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,640
All right, that's our take.
