1
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:06,767
O magnify the Lord with me.

2
00:00:06,767 --> 00:00:08,666
That word magnify

3
00:00:08,666 --> 00:00:13,367
when I think of that I think of a magnifying glass.

4
00:00:13,367 --> 00:00:20,107
What's a magnifying glass for? It is to make something look bigger right?

5
00:00:20,107 --> 00:00:24,666
How is it we can make God look bigger?

6
00:00:24,666 --> 00:00:27,368
I mean, He already is who He is.

7
00:00:27,368 --> 00:00:30,483
The same yesterday, today and forever.

8
00:00:30,483 --> 00:00:32,830
How can we make God bigger?

9
00:00:32,830 --> 00:00:37,076
Well I already gave the answer, we're making Him 'look' bigger.

10
00:00:37,076 --> 00:00:43,625
That's what the Christian wants to do. He wants to magnify, he wants to make God look bigger.

11
00:00:43,625 --> 00:00:47,893
And that's the problem in the world today, that's the problem in humanity

12
00:00:47,893 --> 00:00:50,393
is they have too little a view of God

13
00:00:50,393 --> 00:00:53,827
and they have too big of a view of themselves.

14
00:00:53,827 --> 00:00:57,573
So the psalmist says, "O magnify the Lord with me."

15
00:00:57,573 --> 00:01:04,000
Right here in these few words we have a statement of the chief end of man;

16
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:08,254
we have a statement of the real purpose of life.

17
00:01:08,254 --> 00:01:13,105
That's what lead to my conversion to Christ. I began to wonder 'Why am I here?

18
00:01:13,105 --> 00:01:19,000
What is the real purpose of life? Why is everyone walking around? Why are we here?'

19
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:26,151
And my brother came down 2 months after he was converted and shared that verse with me.

20
00:01:26,151 --> 00:01:31,090
Whether we eat or drink, or whatever we do, do all to the glory of God.

21
00:01:31,090 --> 00:01:36,435
And so that is the real purpose of life is to magnify the Lord.

22
00:01:36,435 --> 00:01:38,572
Think of the Lord Jesus,

23
00:01:38,572 --> 00:01:41,682
isn't He worthy to be magnified?

24
00:01:41,682 --> 00:01:46,455
To be glorified? To be honored?

25
00:01:46,455 --> 00:01:49,486
To be loved?

26
00:01:49,486 --> 00:01:53,300
For creation's sake. He created everything right?

27
00:01:53,300 --> 00:01:55,128
Out of nothing. 

28
00:01:55,128 --> 00:01:59,778
Created every molecule; created every man; created every woman

29
00:01:59,778 --> 00:02:03,673
every blade of grass; every leaf. He created everything that exist.

30
00:02:03,673 --> 00:02:07,602
In Him we live, move, and have our being. 

31
00:02:07,602 --> 00:02:10,554
So He's worthy to be magnified.

32
00:02:10,554 --> 00:02:13,613
But also in terms of redemption. 

33
00:02:13,613 --> 00:02:16,793
Worthy to be magnified because He has sent a Redeemer.

34
00:02:16,793 --> 00:02:20,600
God has sent His Son to redeem a fallen human race.

35
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:24,901
The Lord Jesus came down and took upon Himself human flesh

36
00:02:24,901 --> 00:02:26,205
just for us.

37
00:02:26,205 --> 00:02:29,223
And lived a perfect, blameless, spotless life

38
00:02:29,223 --> 00:02:31,100
just for us.

39
00:02:31,100 --> 00:02:35,648
And died a substitutionary death and was raised with mighty power.

40
00:02:35,648 --> 00:02:39,018
He ascended in glory and is seated at the right hand of God the Father

41
00:02:39,018 --> 00:02:43,100
and was given a Name that is above every name.

42
00:02:43,100 --> 00:02:47,023
Doesn't that make Him all the more worthy to be magnified?

43
00:02:47,023 --> 00:02:52,010
And He is coming again to judge the world and all will stand before Him and bow the knee.

44
00:02:52,010 --> 00:02:54,008
and say He is Lord.

45
00:02:54,008 --> 00:02:58,038
And He is going to judge the world in righteousness. 

46
00:02:58,038 --> 00:02:59,500
Yes.

47
00:02:59,500 --> 00:03:06,000
James is saying to Bethany, "O magnify the Lord with me.

48
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:11,600
Come on Bethany, let's give our lives." You've said it in one way or another,

49
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,600
"Let's give our lives together

50
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,293
to serve the Lord of glory. 

51
00:03:17,293 --> 00:03:21,750
Let's magnify Him together." Two is better than one right?

52
00:03:21,750 --> 00:03:24,691
Any mountain climber knows that.

53
00:03:24,691 --> 00:03:28,751
What a high calling to magnify the Lord together.

54
00:03:28,751 --> 00:03:33,650
To spend your life together for Christ.

55
00:03:33,650 --> 00:03:36,022
God bless you.
