Christology | Who Was Jesus? Prophet, Priest, and King

1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,720
So if our calculations are right
and you listen to this on the

2
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:09,480
day that it comes out, which I
hope you're caught up, Jill, my

3
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:12,080
wife, yeah.
Yeah, Jill, get it together.

4
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:15,240
No, I always like my kids are
like, I'm not caught up on the

5
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:17,680
podcast.
I'm like my own kids, you know?

6
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:22,400
But it's September 5th.
Yeah, temperatures have been

7
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:25,280
cooler.
Oh man, it's like I I see some

8
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,880
leaves starting starting.
Watch it, Michael.

9
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,760
To turn about.
The about to flip this table,

10
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,960
but wasn't granite countertop
just nailed to the floor?

11
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:37,320
Yeah, is it?
Is it?

12
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,720
I mean, well, the summer break
for school is over.

13
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,960
Well, I was going to say it's
fine that your daughters aren't

14
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,800
caught up because they're still
in summer mode because it is

15
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:48,560
summer.
You know, we started this

16
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,880
podcast not to make friends,
Michael, but to tell the truth

17
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:55,600
and and summer goes.
I didn't look up this year, but

18
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,040
I'm.
Fairly certain 20th I think is

19
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,440
when it started this year
because because it floats OK,

20
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:04,480
summer is starts the longest day
of the year.

21
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:06,760
So the day that we get the most
sunlight.

22
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,880
I think it's like normally June
21st but because of some natural

23
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,880
variations, June 20th I think is
when it started this.

24
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:15,040
Year.
No, you're right.

25
00:01:15,320 --> 00:01:16,320
End.
Summer.

26
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,920
Ends.
September 22nd so.

27
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,920
Which I thought, 'cause my
birthday is a summer birthday,

28
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:23,280
September 21st.
Right.

29
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,840
Sometimes.
I'm just saying this year it

30
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:27,760
could.
Yeah, this year.

31
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:28,640
No, Sometimes it is the.
Fall.

32
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,200
Yeah, it could be the the first
day of fall sometimes.

33
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:35,920
I will readily admit, I admit
that I like to do fall things in

34
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:37,280
the fall.
Michael, so you love.

35
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,120
Fall.
Oh, fall is honestly probably my

36
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:40,360
favorite season.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

37
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,040
Favorite.
Season football.

38
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,840
There's there's a lot going I do
I do I do like football.

39
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:46,400
I do like the Patriots, but I do
like football.

40
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,560
I like the temps.
I like the cool temps.

41
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,120
I, you know, get a pumpkin spice
latte.

42
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,520
Drink as many as you want.
Just.

43
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,280
September 22nd or later or
later.

44
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,840
I, I and you can have one here,
but it's like the whole change

45
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,480
whole, it's like falls here.
I'm always like, to me,

46
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,480
everything has its season.
You know, there's important

47
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,120
things at certain important
times, you know, I feel like,

48
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,560
you know, social media,
everything is just smoothed out

49
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,080
and we just, you know, there's
no rhyme or reason.

50
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:16,480
It's just, and it feels good to
do it.

51
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,560
You know, I'm not about that
lifestyle.

52
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:24,520
And so you're I'm assuming you
were also in the camp of

53
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:26,880
Christmas only after
Thanksgiving.

54
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:31,640
I am not only in that camp, I'm
hiking like 12 miles deep into

55
00:02:31,640 --> 00:02:34,040
the forest.
That's a that's a real I'm I'm

56
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:38,400
in that camp because Christmas
is important and it, you know,

57
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,840
you can't each set to mundane.
It's like, hey, I go worship

58
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,520
every Sunday morning.
Great.

59
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:46,560
I think that that's important.
There's rhythms.

60
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:47,880
I think that that's an important
thing.

61
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,920
So there have been occasions.
I don't think we did it this

62
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,840
year.
I think last year we did some

63
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,200
Christmas songs in summer,
'cause I was like, and I was

64
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,880
gonna let it.
I was like, it's good to rewind

65
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,200
it, That's OK.
OK, because that's the points.

66
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,320
The exception proves the rule.
OK, alright, do.

67
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:04,160
You see what I'm saying?
Yeah, yeah.

68
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,160
Like that actually is
meaningful, right?

69
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,280
But if we're just Christmasing
everything and it's not even

70
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,560
Thanksgiving, give me time to be
thankful.

71
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:13,280
And what are you most thankful
for?

72
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,080
So, so many things.
The incarnation of Christ.

73
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,200
That's up there, that is.
Christmas Are you thankful for

74
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,360
Christmas?
I am, I'm, I'm thankful for for

75
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,640
that day, yeah.
But I'm thankful for many, many

76
00:03:25,640 --> 00:03:27,520
other things too.
And I'm not diminishing yet, but

77
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,440
I do think that certain things
have their place.

78
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:35,360
And if you just, you know, you
can minimize something by just,

79
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:36,400
you know.
Overdoing it.

80
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,400
Overdoing it, it becomes.
Mundane.

81
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:39,960
Mundane.
And I just don't want to make

82
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,120
Christmas mundane, right?
Maybe that's not popular.

83
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:43,880
You want to keep it at the
height that.

84
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:45,480
That's right, because.
You're about all the

85
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,880
commercialism.
Is that what you're saying?

86
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,520
I would, I would like, yeah, I'm
the opposite where all the gifts

87
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,320
start in, you know, whatever now
it's Christmas gifts or

88
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:55,000
whatever.
So.

89
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,240
Yeah, well, I will put up lights
before Thanksgiving.

90
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,840
Honestly, I'm OK with it.
But I'm not going to turn them

91
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:03,360
on till till after Thanksgiving.
Yeah, this.

92
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:04,560
Is great.
I I want to get.

93
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,280
I actually probably don't want
to hear feedback because I think

94
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,560
I'm in a minority.
I feel like everyone just loves

95
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,120
doing Christmas in October.
I don't think you're in a

96
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,399
minority, but I think this is a
polarizing.

97
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,279
Issue.
So like if you, there may be

98
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,200
some who are on the fence, like
I don't really care, but I think

99
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,720
most people are firmly in the
keep Christmas after

100
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,200
Thanksgiving camp or oh, I love
Christmas.

101
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,800
I'm already decorated.
There's this Co worker that Jill

102
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:38,000
used to work with who would play
a Spotify Christmas music year

103
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,040
round 'cause she's like she
loved Crystal.

104
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:44,000
So I was like, I don't know
about that that that did that

105
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,800
was a little like, I love
Christmas, but you know, I don't

106
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,640
want to be may and be hearing
God.

107
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:53,240
Rest ye merry gentlemen.
I would like chime in, you know,

108
00:04:53,280 --> 00:04:55,680
or am I off base?
Yeah, let's hear it.

109
00:04:56,840 --> 00:04:59,760
Give us give us your thoughts.
Hey, Speaking of Christmas.

110
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaking of Christmas.
We're on Christology lesson two.

111
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,200
Yeah, yeah.
So we're last, last time we

112
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,400
looked at the hypostatic union.
This time we've got some more

113
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,480
great stuff to dive into.
So let's take it to the next

114
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:21,120
level from the hearts of the Low
Country in South Carolina.

115
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:26,480
It's the Take Two podcast, but
we take theology to the next

116
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:30,360
level.
Christology, man, it's it's so

117
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:35,000
hard to limit these foundational
topics to two weeks, but.

118
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,920
Lots to say.
You have to you have to package

119
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,440
it or you know, we'll never get
through it right in in a way.

120
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,440
And so just just to give a broad
overview of what we want to talk

121
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:49,600
about today is what Danny, one
of the elders at our church,

122
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,840
what he spoke about this morning
in relation to Christ, he kind

123
00:05:52,840 --> 00:05:54,040
of broke it up into two
segments.

124
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,800
I thought it was really good.
What is Jesus, what is Christ,

125
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,120
what is God the Son like and
what has he done?

126
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,960
I guess what what specifically
thinking of of Jesus, What is he

127
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:09,520
like and what has he done?
Two really big topics, but we'll

128
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,600
cover them well.
Here, if you wanted to know what

129
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:16,160
Jesus was like, how would you
figure that out, Zach?

130
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,800
Just, you know, whatever comes
to my mind, just write it down.

131
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,520
Yeah, it's, it's funny to me who
you, you hear people in culture

132
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:28,200
saying Jesus fill in the blank
and it's like, I don't think

133
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,320
you've ever read Scripture
because the Jesus that you are

134
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,240
proclaiming right here doesn't
match at all with the Jesus of

135
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,560
Scripture.
The first, you know, hand

136
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,000
accounts of him.
And we'd call these primary

137
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:44,640
source documents because they're
people who interacted with him.

138
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,760
And not to get too far a field,
but, you know, there's this

139
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:53,360
popular idea in culture that
Jesus, you know, between his

140
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:59,720
Baptist or his bar mitzvah, you
know, son of the law, where

141
00:06:59,960 --> 00:07:03,920
between that and his ministry,
he traveled to India and studied

142
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,240
under a Buddha.
That maybe the Buddha, I don't

143
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:11,520
know, you know, but studied
Buddhist and then came back And

144
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:15,560
that really I was like, that
doesn't like there's not even

145
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:19,000
Buddhism in his teaching.
You know, they point to, well,

146
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,400
he said the greatest, you know,
the golden commandment to love

147
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,680
others and treat others like you
would have them be treated like

148
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:29,280
there's a hint of that, you
know, there's I think, but all

149
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,000
truth is God's truth.
Just because Buddha stumbled on

150
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,520
this truth doesn't mean that
Jesus got it from him.

151
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,600
That that's such a good point
because it's not even like

152
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,240
they're saying, you know, my
God, I believe in is like this.

153
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:43,000
They're they're saying Jesus is
like this and you're like, where

154
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,480
are you?
Yeah, are you are you reading

155
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:50,480
even a little bit?
But everyone likes to hold on to

156
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,640
Jesus and ya make make him in in
their in their own image.

157
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,880
So we're gonna look like we're
gonna look at first.

158
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,520
What is he like?
What does scripture tell us

159
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,960
about Christ?
First reference that Danny went

160
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,480
to really, really good passage.
2nd Corinthians 4 verse six.

161
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:11,880
I'm going to go ahead and read
that Paul writes for God who

162
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:15,800
said let let light shine out of
darkness has shown in our hearts

163
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,600
to give the light of the
knowledge of the glory of God in

164
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:22,240
the face of Jesus Christ.
That that if we're looking for

165
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,960
the glory of God, we can see
that through Christ.

166
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,840
So it would behoove us to be in
Scripture and know what Christ

167
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:29,760
was like and then we can get
some of that glory.

168
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,760
Yep, Yep.
And then next passage he talks

169
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,120
about this is in the upper room
discourse.

170
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:40,000
Jesus says if you had known me,
you would have known the Father

171
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:44,600
also from now on you know him
and have seen him.

172
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,320
And Philip says to him, Lord
show us the Father and it is

173
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,840
enough for us.
And here's Jesus response.

174
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:56,320
Have I been so long with you and
yet you have not come to know

175
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:57,000
me?
Phillip?

176
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,680
He who has seen me has seen the
Father.

177
00:08:59,920 --> 00:09:02,760
How can you say show us the
Father?

178
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:07,640
And then of course, you know,
Thomas then says will then show

179
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:09,560
us the way.
He says I'm the way, the truth

180
00:09:09,560 --> 00:09:13,800
and the life is great passage.
So that's John 14, you know, get

181
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:15,880
the whole thing, you know, 7
through 15.

182
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:17,760
No, that that's good.
And we we talked about this on

183
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:21,560
previous podcasts, John 114.
The word became flesh and dwelt

184
00:09:21,560 --> 00:09:23,520
among us and we beheld his
glory.

185
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:25,440
The glory is of the only
begotten of the Father, full of

186
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:29,960
grace and truth that when we're
thinking even about this big

187
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,840
concept like the image of God,
man, you look to the person of

188
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,800
Christ and you see what that was
supposed to be.

189
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:41,120
You can see God visible that the
goodness of God is visible in

190
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,720
human form.
When we try to take these

191
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,840
attributes, which sometimes may
be, you know, not abstract, but

192
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,680
they can kind of just be list of
words.

193
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,680
Well, how, how can we see those
through the person of Christ?

194
00:09:52,680 --> 00:09:55,080
I think that helps us understand
how to live and and what these

195
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,200
things look like.
Yeah, that's that's really good

196
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:01,840
because if we want to be
transformed into his image,

197
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:05,560
which I think we all do, it'd be
good to know what that image is

198
00:10:05,560 --> 00:10:09,720
and kind of it put flesh on
these these things that we talk

199
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,320
about.
It's, it's so basic what you are

200
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,880
saying, but I think it is so
foreign to the mindset.

201
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,800
If it's like, hey, we've got
something recorded, let's

202
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,280
conform to it.
It makes sense versus everyone

203
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,000
just spouts.
I think I feel this and it's

204
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,920
just there, you know?
And I, I like, you know, there's

205
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:28,760
this meme that says, what would
Jesus do?

206
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,160
And then it's like, well,
grabbing a whip and throwing

207
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,320
over tables is in the realm of
possibilities here.

208
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:39,960
So, you know, clearly he was
meek and mild in some sense, and

209
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,200
he was loving and compassionate,
merciful.

210
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,560
But he's also bringing, you
know, condemnation on those who

211
00:10:45,560 --> 00:10:49,960
are, you know, confusing the
Mosaic Law and, and bending it

212
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,120
and, and turning it into
something that's not.

213
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:56,040
So he he, you know, it's like,
you know that line from Narnia.

214
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,560
You know, when he's talking
about Aslan, it's like, you

215
00:10:58,560 --> 00:10:59,040
don't know.
Yeah.

216
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,440
Yeah.
It's like, is he safe?

217
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,000
No, he's not safe, but he's
good.

218
00:11:03,680 --> 00:11:05,080
Yeah.
And we really see that in

219
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:06,760
scriptures.
That that's great.

220
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,840
Danny ran through this exercise
of, of asking, you know what,

221
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:11,760
what's goodness, What is
humility?

222
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:13,680
What is love?
What's righteousness?

223
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,800
How did Jesus do these things?
Let's look at specifics and you

224
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,160
know, you think of some of these
attributes like like his

225
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:24,200
goodness, you know Jesus, you
know, he he died for for sinful

226
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:25,720
humans.
He cared for others.

227
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:29,280
He healed lepers.
But like you were saying, in his

228
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,200
righteousness and some justice,
he he rebuked some people too.

229
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,000
He said, no, that's not going to
slide.

230
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:38,840
You were dead wrong.
You, you are, you know, a brood

231
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:42,160
of Vipers like you, you, you are
so far off.

232
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,040
He wasn't afraid to really lay
down the law or like you said,

233
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,120
you know, get out of whip and
just start knocking over,

234
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,040
knocking over tables where you
start nailing down specific

235
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,280
actions that that really helps
paint, paint a picture.

236
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,800
And he touched lepers, which was
foreboding.

237
00:11:55,800 --> 00:12:01,400
Like you just did not do that.
But of course, because the

238
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,920
concern was you'd spread it and
of course his touch was the

239
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:08,280
cleansing touch, you know, but
you know, to, to have that

240
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:12,240
compassion, people who not, you
know, was never, you know, felt

241
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,560
the touch of another human
because you couldn't, they were

242
00:12:14,560 --> 00:12:16,360
unclean.
And yet he reaches out and

243
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,120
touched them.
So it's, it's a wide spectrum of

244
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:22,160
of who Jesus is.
Yeah, people look look at

245
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,640
Scripture and you know, you can
look at it a few, few different

246
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,560
ways.
I think you know, incorrectly,

247
00:12:27,560 --> 00:12:30,840
you can look at it and say, man,
this is just a list of this is a

248
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:32,320
list of rules.
I think that may be a charge

249
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:36,200
that's levied against
Christianity unfairly, but it's

250
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:40,120
really not a manual on, on
morality exclusively.

251
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,040
It it does definitely inform us
in that area.

252
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:50,440
But really it's a revelation of
of Christ to us that we we see

253
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,400
totally how to live just not
rights and wrongs throughout and

254
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,600
we see Christ revealed in all
these amazing ways.

255
00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,600
We've got this passage 2nd
Corinthians 318.

256
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:00,400
Is that where you're at?
You're.

257
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:01,320
Not there.
No, I'm not there.

258
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:03,560
I thought you were there.
I I am there you are, you are

259
00:13:03,560 --> 00:13:05,160
stepped out.
I was like you're good, you're

260
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,000
good.
I couldn't read that for you.

261
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:11,120
But Second Corinthians 318 says
and we all with unveiled face

262
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,320
beholding the glory of the Lord
are being transformed into the

263
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,280
same image from 1° of glory to
another.

264
00:13:17,560 --> 00:13:23,160
For this comes from the Lord,
who is the spirit that like

265
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,120
you've been saying, Michael,
we've got we've got we've got to

266
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,320
know who crisis and we to be
transformed.

267
00:13:27,560 --> 00:13:28,880
Like I mean that that's a
reality.

268
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,040
If if you are safe, you're
you're, you're in that process.

269
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:32,640
Yeah.
And that transformed word in the

270
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,920
Greek is basically if you looked
at it, you would go, oh, this is

271
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,880
basically saying metamorphosis.
That's what it's talking about.

272
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,840
And that's a huge object lesson.
Like we see this Caterpillar,

273
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:47,480
you know, crawling to make this.
It's not really a cocoon.

274
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:49,360
What what's the chrysalis?
Chrysalis.

275
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,040
There's that's the we we all got
told the wrong thing.

276
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,280
Like there are some there are
some who make cocoons, but most

277
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,760
of them just make this chrysalis
and and God an amazing,

278
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:02,800
miraculous way metamorphosis
changes that into this new

279
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,440
beautiful creature.
What a perfect object lesson for

280
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,160
us, because that's what should
happen.

281
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:10,160
I I thought Denny's object
lesson of looking in a mirror

282
00:14:10,680 --> 00:14:14,160
and you know, when you look at
something and you desire to be

283
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:18,040
like something and you measure
yourself up to that, then you

284
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:21,240
would naturally, you know,
change into that, that he used

285
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,960
this thing about Michael Jordan
and the fadeaway shots.

286
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:29,000
I think even he didn't use this,
but I, I could be wrong, but I

287
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,320
think Sarah even said he would
stick his tongue out while he

288
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,040
was playing basketball, which
was not Michael Jordan esque,

289
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,640
But he was talking about how he
idolized Michael Jordan back in

290
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,000
the 90s.
He loved basketball, wanted to

291
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,640
play like him and wanted to be
transformed into his image

292
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:46,520
because he was on awe of him.
He was, you know, you know, he

293
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,840
highly valued that.
And then the same way we should

294
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,480
highly value crime, Christ, and
we should look into the mirror

295
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,880
of Scripture and who Christ is,
and we should value those things

296
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,600
and see where we don't measure
up and then be changed by that.

297
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,400
Cause 'cause it is true what you
spend your time, you know, quote

298
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,840
UN quote, looking at, you're
going to start looking like it.

299
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,320
You hear all these stories about
old couples that look like each

300
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,120
other.
I don't know how true that kind

301
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:09,800
of stuff is, but where do you
spend your time?

302
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,600
Because that's probably what
you're going to imitate, whether

303
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:17,920
you're conscience of that,
conscious of that or not, what

304
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:19,680
Christ is like.
Anything else you want to add to

305
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:21,640
that section?
No, I think that's good.

306
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,840
Read the originals, read the
biographies, read the first

307
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,320
primary sources, Matthew, Mark,
Luke and John.

308
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,920
Maybe we should do a podcast on
on how they came about one day

309
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:33,440
that would be.
Really good.

310
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:37,760
I like where your heads at.
We're going to transition to to

311
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,520
what's he done?
What's Christ done and look at

312
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:44,040
these three offices that he
fulfilled that we see a lot in

313
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:45,960
the Old Testament.
You read the Bible, you cannot

314
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,040
again, if you read the Bible,
you're gonna see these all over

315
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:52,640
the place and they're there for
a reason and and how how Christ

316
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,080
was the ultimate fulfillment
We're gonna get prophet, priest

317
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,360
and king.
Let's start with prophets.

318
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:00,720
What is that where you're at?
Yeah, that's where I'm at.

319
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:05,840
That's where I'm at.
Deuteronomy 815-1815 says the

320
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:10,640
Lord your God will raise up for
you a prophet like me, from

321
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:14,880
among you, from your countrymen.
You shall listen to him.

322
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:21,040
And so a lot with a lot of these
Old Testament passages, maybe

323
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:25,160
sometimes there is a near term
fulfilment, but then we look at

324
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,240
it, we go, Oh no, there was a
longer term, more fuller

325
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,600
fulfilment.
And this one clearly has that

326
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:32,200
one.
Speaking of Jesus.

327
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:36,280
Yeah, what's what's great too is
you're going to hear Hebrews

328
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:38,560
mentioned a lot for all these
things because it's it's this

329
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:42,920
great, you know, big overview of
the biblical theology, seeing

330
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:46,840
how Christ fulfilled and is
greater than than all the Old

331
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,240
Old Testament truths.
Looking at the very beginning of

332
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:54,960
Hebrews 1 verses 1 and 2.
The author writes long ago at

333
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,280
many times and in many ways, God
spoke to our fathers by the

334
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:02,240
prophets, but in these last days
he's spoken to us by his Son,

335
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:06,400
whom he appointed the heir of
all things, through whom also he

336
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,280
created the world.
So maybe, maybe it would be

337
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:10,880
helpful.
Most people are probably

338
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:14,280
familiar, but what was the role
of a prophet?

339
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,000
What?
What was a prophet's?

340
00:17:16,839 --> 00:17:20,319
What did Prophet do?
Yeah, the, the primary role was

341
00:17:20,319 --> 00:17:26,960
to represent God to men.
So God would speak to the

342
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:30,360
prophets and the prophets would
speak on behalf of God.

343
00:17:30,360 --> 00:17:34,000
And so you would hear lots of
times you'll read an Old

344
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,920
Testament.
I, I remember we had this verse

345
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,160
memorization thing when I was in
youth group.

346
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:45,200
And I did do some, I did some
longer form verses, but you

347
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,720
know, it was about numbers too.
And so I found all the places

348
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:52,120
where it said thus says the Lord
or thus says the Lord unto

349
00:17:52,120 --> 00:17:55,840
Moses.
And that was the only verse, the

350
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,120
only words in that verse.
And I would get all those and my

351
00:17:58,120 --> 00:18:01,000
youth group leader would look at
me like this is not this is not

352
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,600
what this is for Michael.
But yeah, I felt bad that one

353
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:04,640
time into that I didn't do it
again.

354
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:08,880
But the prophet would would say
thus says the Lord and he would

355
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:12,440
repeat and kind of be the
mouthpiece for the Lord to the

356
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,120
people.
And that's why you know, another

357
00:18:15,120 --> 00:18:19,000
thing like it is so important,
like if someone says the Lord

358
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:21,680
said to me and then that doesn't
come true, that came with a

359
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,520
death penalty, not good if.
You are the prophet, right?

360
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:28,160
Yeah, because to disobey what
the prophet said would be the

361
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,400
same as disobeying God himself.
If he's a true prophet.

362
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:32,840
If he's a true with the caveat
that you can say they were they

363
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:37,640
were definitely false prophets
that that popped up and and so

364
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:41,840
in Hebrews we read that you know
Longo that that's how the word

365
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:43,640
of God was spoken to his two
prophets.

366
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:49,000
But now spoken to us by his Son,
the heir of all things, that

367
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,840
that Jesus fulfills that role.
And even more than that, you

368
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:56,560
know, if a prophet had the words
of God, you know, look at John

369
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,800
1.
The very word of God became

370
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:00,120
flesh.
Yeah, yeah.

371
00:19:00,120 --> 00:19:01,920
So in the beginning was the
Word.

372
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:03,720
The Word was God, the Word was
with God.

373
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:06,880
He was in the beginning with
God.

374
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,640
All things came into being
through Him, and apart from Him,

375
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:11,640
nothing came into being that has
come into being.

376
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:18,360
That's a huge statement like
that verse 3, so huge about his

377
00:19:18,360 --> 00:19:19,960
divinity.
I know we already talked about

378
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:23,880
his divinity in the past, but if
everything that came to being

379
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,200
came to being through him, then
he's not created.

380
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,760
But that's great.
Is John just this is an aside

381
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,240
that we probably got John one
those first verses.

382
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,200
Is that a chiasm?
I I smell there?

383
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,480
It's it seems like it's like
worded kind of weird, like it

384
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,800
seems like it's like that.
Anyway, carry on.

385
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,080
Yeah.
And then another passage Danny

386
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,920
didn't mention for the image of
God, but like if you say the

387
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:47,560
words image of God, I think it's
questions where it says he is

388
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,520
the image of the invisible God,
the first born of all creation.

389
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:54,160
For by him all things were
created both in heaven and on

390
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,720
earth, visible and invisible,
whether Thrones or dominions or

391
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,720
rulers or authority, all things
have been created through him

392
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:01,560
and for him.
He is before all things and in

393
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,080
Him all things all together,
like he literally is.

394
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:08,440
The image of God to us, he's the
he's the mouthpiece of God.

395
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:12,240
He's the visible part of God.
It's God's revelation to us.

396
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,680
I'll, I'll add this on here.
Hebrews one if I kept reading, I

397
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,760
would say he is the radiance of
the glory of God and the exact

398
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:22,440
imprint of his nature.
I think of the the big three.

399
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:24,360
I just think of John 1,
Colossians 1, Hebrews one.

400
00:20:24,360 --> 00:20:28,120
If you're just trying to think
of, you know, Christ, creedence

401
00:20:28,120 --> 00:20:30,080
being God, these are good, good
passages.

402
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:31,960
Just to say, this is where I
know where to find these things.

403
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,480
Yeah, we should memorize those 3
chapters.

404
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:35,680
That'd be that'd.
Be good.

405
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:39,800
That's a really good idea that
that that is so good image of

406
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:44,280
God, messenger of God, teacher
of God, that when Jesus is

407
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,880
teaching, you know, he's he
didn't come to abolish the law

408
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,360
and the prophets.
He's fulfilling and specifically

409
00:20:50,360 --> 00:20:53,040
says prophets and he's teaching,
you know, the the word of God.

410
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:56,440
Yep, Yep.
So I think that's good, those

411
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,720
three ideas of how he's a
prophet, he's really

412
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:04,800
representing God, God's message
to us, and he's teaching those.

413
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,920
He's not destroying it but you
know, re reinforcing it.

414
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:13,160
Love that, Christ our prophet.
Let's transition to Christ our

415
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,760
priest.
So tell me about a priest.

416
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:16,880
We read about these in the Old
Testament.

417
00:21:17,120 --> 00:21:18,560
Yeah.
Yeah, something about that.

418
00:21:19,120 --> 00:21:21,960
So kind of the opposite
direction, at least in my mind,

419
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:26,120
how I think.
So if a prophet is really, you

420
00:21:26,120 --> 00:21:30,480
know, representing God to man,
turn around priest is

421
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:34,560
representing man to God.
And so that could be because

422
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:36,960
he's presenting a sacrifice on
behalf of them.

423
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:42,400
He's being intercessor for them.
Like the term lawyer came up.

424
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,640
So someone who could argue on
your behalf, those are things

425
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:50,400
that a priest is doing for us.
I'm going to read Hebrews 414

426
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,160
through 16.
For we have come to share in

427
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,520
Christ.
If indeed we hold our original

428
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,400
confidence firm to the end,
bringing the wrong chapter.

429
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:00,240
That was chapter 3.
We're going to go ahead to

430
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,160
chapter 4, verse 14 through 16.
I was like, this makes a little

431
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,560
bit more sense.
Since then we have a great high

432
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,480
priest who has passed through
the heavens, Jesus the Son of

433
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,000
God.
Let us hold fast our confession.

434
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,240
For we don't have a high priest
who is unable to sympathize with

435
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,840
our weaknesses, but one who in
every respect has been tempted

436
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:22,240
as we are yet without sin.
Let us then with confidence draw

437
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,640
near to the throne of grace that
we may receive mercy and find

438
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:29,200
grace to help in time of need.
Kind of like what you were

439
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,960
saying, bridging that gap that
that he can sympathize.

440
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,400
He he we kind of just talked
about it last podcast a lot.

441
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:37,240
Alright.
He's he's totally human, totally

442
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:38,480
God.
He can be that go between the

443
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:40,880
intermediary.
He can be that advocate on our

444
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:45,320
behalf half and not only that, I
don't know if you're about to

445
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:45,920
read it.
Hebrews.

446
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:46,800
Passage.
Yeah.

447
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:52,720
Yeah, so Hebrews 10, another
great passage and I will say

448
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,880
it's not original with me.
You might guess where I got it

449
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:59,960
from, Greg Kochel, but he would
say the beginning of this is the

450
00:22:59,960 --> 00:23:03,840
best Christmas passage where
he's talks about sacrifice and

451
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,000
offering.
You've not desired, but a body

452
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,200
you've prepared for me.
And that I mean, that is the

453
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,400
Christmas message.
So read all this chapter, but

454
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,440
we're going to pick up in verse
11.

455
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,760
It says every priest stands
daily ministering and offering

456
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:21,440
time after time the same
sacrifices which can never take

457
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,400
away sins.
But he, having offered one

458
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:28,360
sacrifice for sins for all time,
set down at the right hand of

459
00:23:28,360 --> 00:23:32,280
God, waiting from that time
onward until his enemies made a

460
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,280
be made a footstool for his
feet.

461
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,320
For by one offering, he's
perfected for all time those who

462
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,680
are sanctified.
And it goes, you know, so yeah.

463
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,600
So that's that's good.
And we also see other places

464
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,320
where it talks about him being
an intercessor for us, like he's

465
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:51,800
praying for us all the time.
So if he's atoned for your sins,

466
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,960
he is your high priest.
And I like what you said there.

467
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:58,360
He atoned was past tense and
then interceding.

468
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,520
That's continually going on.
And I think, you know, certain,

469
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,800
you know, religions get some of
those wrong where we need to

470
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:06,520
like redo the atonement over and
over.

471
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,840
And so you don't want to confuse
those things, but makes a lot of

472
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:11,000
sense.
Danny pointed out.

473
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,560
You know who, who were priests
in the Old Testament?

474
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,520
I think, you know, a lot of
times our minds go straight to

475
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:20,640
Levites, you know, order of
Aaron, you know, Zeva, whatever.

476
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:21,400
Eli.
Yeah, with.

477
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:23,040
Samuel He.
Was a priest.

478
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:26,920
You kind of think of these
things, but really before the

479
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:31,400
Mosaic Law, it was a lot less
restricted where, you know,

480
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,320
Job's offering sacrifices, all
the patriarchs really do.

481
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:36,560
And they, you know, set up these
high places.

482
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,600
And then later on, you know,
we'll talk about it later, but

483
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:41,680
seems like kings had free reign
to do whatever they want.

484
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:43,720
They can make sacr.
David's making sacrifices,

485
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:45,840
David's doing something with the
temple or Solomon.

486
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,480
You know, it's, it's a blending
a little bit, which alludes, I

487
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,520
think, to Psalm 110.
It talks about ruling and I

488
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:53,520
think those things kind of go
together a little bit.

489
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,920
Well, I, I asked a specific
question one time and the answer

490
00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:01,240
I got was the reason why David's
sacrifice when he does that with

491
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,720
those bulls where he buys that
threshing floor was accepted in

492
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:08,440
OK.
And Saul's sacrifice wasn't, was

493
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:13,080
because David was sacrificing on
his own behalf and Saul was

494
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,800
sacrificing on behalf of the
people.

495
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:20,680
And so David was not trying to
step into that priestly role

496
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:25,160
where he's representing others.
He's just, he is like trying to

497
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,120
atone for his own sin in
numbering the people.

498
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:33,120
Whereas Saul was sacrificing in
a way that where he was on

499
00:25:33,120 --> 00:25:36,040
behalf of all of Israel and the
army.

500
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:40,680
And you'll see, like Hezekiah,
he goes into the temple, he

501
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:44,560
wants to offer up a sacrifice.
They try to stop him, and he's

502
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:45,760
like, I'm the king, you're not
going to stop me.

503
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:47,840
And then he gets leprosy.
Gotcha.

504
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:52,080
So in by and and this time
people were doing a lot of

505
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,080
sacrifices for their own sins
pretty regularly.

506
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:55,640
And you didn't really have to go
to the 10th bowl.

507
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:57,960
You could just go at a random
threshing floor and kind of do

508
00:25:57,960 --> 00:25:59,800
your thing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

509
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:04,320
And Danny alluded to the fact
that heads of household, you

510
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,920
know, before the Levitical
priesthood was set up, probably

511
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,680
did their own sacrifices.
You know, there's some weird

512
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:11,840
passages.
You know, you can read the story

513
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:15,840
in Judges where this priest has
some type of Urim and Thummim

514
00:26:16,360 --> 00:26:20,360
and he gets he like, is bought
to be this guy's priest.

515
00:26:20,360 --> 00:26:23,640
And then so yeah, there's a lot
of priesthood in in the Old

516
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,080
Testament, but one we haven't
talked about yet.

517
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,960
Oh, Melchizedek.
Yeah, yeah.

518
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:32,280
Which is the order that Jesus is
after.

519
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:34,960
Yeah, it is interesting that,
you know, all these priests had

520
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:38,200
to be, you know, from Aaron and,
you know, and it's like Jesus.

521
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:39,880
And if you look at that, you're
like, wait, this is not adding

522
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:43,880
up to Jesus and not come from
this order necessarily.

523
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:47,320
And and it's important that the
author of Hebrews will talk a

524
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:50,040
lot about Mechazek.
Psalmist talks about mechazek

525
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:54,280
and makes a point that you know
this is a reason why he's

526
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:57,960
different than than a man and
someone who who dies and you

527
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:00,960
have to keep making new
sacrifices is because it is of a

528
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:04,800
different line 'cause really
Melchizedek, Genesis, Psalms,

529
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:06,440
Hebrews anywhere else we read of
this guy?

530
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,360
Not that I can think of.
Yeah.

531
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:13,800
So, you know, he's a priest of
Salem, which would be there

532
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,920
before Jerusalem.
You know Curtis, who was a.

533
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:18,480
King and a priest too.
Yeah.

534
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:19,840
Yeah.
So you have that connection as

535
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:21,520
well.
And Curtis talked about how

536
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:25,360
there's evidence, and I'd never
seen it before, that maybe some

537
00:27:25,360 --> 00:27:30,080
of that sacrifice continued even
alongside the Levitical

538
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:34,160
priesthood.
He'd read some some scriptures,

539
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:35,840
maybe in Samuel.
I don't.

540
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:40,320
Remember what he.
Was saying was David when he set

541
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:43,040
up shop in Jerusalem of the
capital, there seemed like there

542
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:46,920
was another priest there and
there's a verse that says

543
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,520
something like an other priest
besides a Biathar whoever the I

544
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:51,480
don't remember what the names
were, but it's it's just like

545
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,400
out there and there's not a
little explanation and so maybe

546
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:56,640
got here.
Oh God fearing this is like the

547
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:59,080
exception to the rule or
something interesting thing to

548
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:04,160
to chase down more.
But Jesus as our high priest

549
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:07,080
perfect sacrifice as our
intercessor.

550
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:08,920
Anything else on priest you want
to hit?

551
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:13,800
No, so we move on to our King.
Our King.

552
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:16,840
Love it, he asked.
What does it mean to be a king?

553
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:22,160
And I was it someone said I, I
guess it was maybe Jeff, I

554
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,760
remember right.
Someone said, well, a king rules

555
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:26,520
over a Kingdom and I I think
that's good.

556
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:27,560
And you?
That his question.

557
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,320
That's right.
So Dom means domain.

558
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,240
So he has a domain that he rules
over.

559
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:36,640
It's his his kingly domain.
Great if we want to look back to

560
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:40,000
the time of David.
Second, Samuel 712 through 13

561
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,520
says when your days fulfilled
and you lie down with your

562
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:45,920
father's, I will raise up your
offspring after you, who shall

563
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,760
come from your body, and I will
establish his Kingdom.

564
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:51,480
He shall build a house for my
name, and I will establish the

565
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:55,280
throne of this Kingdom forever.
There, there you go.

566
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:57,560
It's, you know, interesting.
I don't think we read in the

567
00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:01,240
Davidic covenant like in this
past the word covenant.

568
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,840
Yeah, there's a couple places
where that covenant is given.

569
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:07,880
In Psalms, it's definitely there
other, but it's I think it's a

570
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,800
good reminder that you don't
have to see a covenant can be

571
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:13,560
given without the word
necessarily there in the text.

572
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:15,440
I think to be like, well, the
cup, I don't read this word

573
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:16,680
here.
And it's like, well, you know,

574
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:20,320
you can find another place.
Yep, and then in Romans one,

575
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,840
it's off as a reference again, I
just started in verse one, it

576
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:27,360
says Paul, a bond servant of
Christ Jesus called as an

577
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,840
apostle and set apart for the
gospel of God, which he promised

578
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:32,760
beforehand through his prophets
in his holy scriptures

579
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:36,200
concerning his Son.
So that's Jesus Christ, who was

580
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:41,480
born of a descendant of David
according to the flesh, who was

581
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:44,480
declared the Son of God with
power by the resurrection from

582
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,520
the dead, according to the
Spirit of holiness, Jesus Christ

583
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,360
our Lord, through whom we've
received grace and apostleship

584
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:53,280
to bring about the obedience of
faith among all the Gentiles for

585
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:56,480
his namesake.
So again, this idea that he is a

586
00:29:56,480 --> 00:30:00,200
descendant of David, David is
from the tribe of Judah, and so

587
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:09,000
he has a both a human claim to
kingship and also a divine claim

588
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:12,240
to kingship.
That, that that's great talking

589
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:16,040
about, you know, the role role
of kings, Jesus specifically,

590
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:19,480
he's going to bring the presence
of God in his reign, the role of

591
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:20,560
God.
Are they talking about the

592
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:22,800
Kingdom of God a lot, a lot in
the Gospels.

593
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:26,240
You think of, you know, even
it's funny, try to think of, you

594
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:27,840
know, someone like Adam in the
garden.

595
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,560
I think you can make some of
this analogy that Adam was a

596
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,200
king.
He was a priest, You know, he

597
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:35,760
was a prophet.
He failed in a lot of ways, but

598
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:39,640
his goal was to take Eden to
everywhere else.

599
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:42,000
You know God, you know God
created Eden, but it was kind of

600
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:45,160
Adam's job to bring that rule
out, fill the earth, multiply,

601
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:49,320
take that out and where he
failed in that role, Christ

602
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,480
fulfills that that perfectly as
working.

603
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:55,200
I was going to read because it's
quoted so much in in Scripture,

604
00:30:55,200 --> 00:31:00,800
Psalm 110, this Psalm that we
see all the time it it mixes or

605
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:02,960
talks about kings and it talks
about priests.

606
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,280
It says the Lord says to my
Lord, set up my right hand until

607
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:07,880
I make your enemies your fruit
stool.

608
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:11,480
The Lord sends forth from Zion
your mighty scepter rule in the

609
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:13,720
midst of your enemies.
Your people will offer

610
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,000
themselves freely on the day of
your power.

611
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,800
Then it few verses later says
you're a priest forever after

612
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:23,120
the order of Melchizedek.
And so I like when we see these

613
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:25,400
kind of fulfillments, we, we
even see these kind of paired up

614
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:29,680
together really, really well in
the in the Old Testament as we

615
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:31,400
kind of see some shadows of
Christ.

616
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,080
No, it's good.
And so our king, he brings the

617
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:37,960
presence of God in a way, you
know, we think about the Lord's

618
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:41,080
Prayer.
You know, your will be done on

619
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:44,000
earth as it is in heaven.
A king, if he's a good king, is

620
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:49,160
going to in some way be imposing
God's will here on earth.

621
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:52,400
You look at Romans 13, it says
the government set up to, you

622
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:55,160
know, if you're doing good, you
don't have any fear because

623
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,200
they're going to, you know,
bless the people who are doing

624
00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:58,720
good, punish the people who are
doing evil.

625
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:01,520
That's part of what the king is
going to do.

626
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,320
Anything else you have to say
for King?

627
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:11,360
I I, I, I think that is, is good
and I like the way Danny kind of

628
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:12,760
applies it.
It's just simple.

629
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:15,840
But it oh, it just, it is, it's
simple is good, right?

630
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:21,840
If, if Jesus is our prophet,
then hear him listen to his

631
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:25,280
word.
We should be seeking the the

632
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:28,280
word, if he's our priest will
come to God through him.

633
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:32,440
Let him mediate on your behalf.
If he's our king, submit to him,

634
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:34,480
obey him.
It's it's almost as simple as

635
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:36,440
that.
It's not simple, but keeping

636
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:38,000
those things in mind that those
are really good.

637
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:40,960
Yeah, I think that's good.
Maybe one other application and,

638
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:44,720
and you mentioned Adam having
these 3 roles and in a sense,

639
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:49,240
you know, there's only one
person who had these 3 roles in,

640
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:51,080
in their fullest extent like
that.

641
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:54,720
And we see places we just talked
about where people straight over

642
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:56,640
and try to cross over those
boundaries and they were

643
00:32:56,640 --> 00:33:01,240
punished because God in in for,
you know, official roles.

644
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:05,720
He wanted them separated.
But as dads, you should have

645
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:08,600
this role for your family.
Like you should be praying on

646
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:11,360
behalf of your children.
You should be a priest to them.

647
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,880
You should be bringing, you
know, being a prophet

648
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:18,440
representing God to them and in
some way kind of bringing his

649
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:22,040
domain into your family there.
And mom's sharing that as well.

650
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:25,120
So I don't want to exclude it,
but dad's maybe in a little bit

651
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:27,720
fuller sense, 'cause you're,
you're charged with the, you

652
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:29,680
know, the leadership and the
headship of your home.

653
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:34,920
And so you want to, you know,
Paul tells Timothy, follow me as

654
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:39,280
I follow Christ.
And we are charged with the huge

655
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:44,000
task of following Christ in such
a way that our kids can look at

656
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:47,560
us and go, that's my dad.
If I do what he does, I'm going

657
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:51,520
to be in good stead.
And so if we are, you know, kind

658
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:54,440
of bringing full circle, if
we're looking into that image of

659
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:56,520
Jesus and we're trying to be
transformed into that, we should

660
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:59,480
be doing that not only for our
own selves, but on behalf of our

661
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:01,080
our kids who are falling behind
us.

662
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:05,920
Now that that that's a great way
to wrap up our Christology

663
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:09,560
series next week, what are we
looking at?

664
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:10,600
Pneumatology.
I think it's.

665
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:12,440
Anthropology.
It's anthropology.

666
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:14,679
Yeah, Yeah.
Because we were gonna do

667
00:34:14,679 --> 00:34:18,679
pneumatology and then Joel has
conflicts.

668
00:34:18,679 --> 00:34:21,840
He's gonna be somewhere.
I'm not sure someone's preaching

669
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:25,760
for them next Sunday.
I hope they do good, do well.

670
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:29,000
Yeah, I, I, my current plan is
to preach on Sermon on the

671
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:32,480
Mount.
So we'll, we'll see if, if the

672
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:35,639
podcast that covers that sermon
is the Sermon on the Mount, then

673
00:34:35,639 --> 00:34:38,120
I've stuck with that.
Perfect summer sermon, summer on

674
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:38,760
the Mount.
Love it.

675
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:40,239
Can't wait, Can't wait to hear
it.

676
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:46,040
Well, that's our take.
