He is not going to go. 16 00:00:51,625 --> 00:00:54,439 If anything, He is going to Stand. 17 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:58,510 And standing is a posture where He is ready to come fight, 18 00:00:58,511 --> 00:01:00,055 He is ready to come help, 19 00:01:00,056 --> 00:01:03,502 He is ready to reach out and offer whatever assistance. (P) 20 00:01:03,503 --> 00:01:06,088 The writer has been writing so that you'll see, 21 00:01:06,089 --> 00:01:10,759 you have a sympathetic High Priest who became like us in every respect. 22 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:16,693 He laid down His life, and His sacrifice absolutely perfects all those that trust in Him. 23 00:01:16,694 --> 00:01:20,451 That shedding of that blood; that offering of His body; 24 00:01:20,452 --> 00:01:25,476 He knew that His Father was not pleased with offerings and sacrifices 25 00:01:25,477 --> 00:01:27,392 and the blood of bulls and goats. 26 00:01:27,393 --> 00:01:30,615 And so He said, "A body You have prepared for Me." (Hebrews 10:5). 27 00:01:30,616 --> 00:01:32,605 This is what the writer wants us to see. 28 00:01:32,606 --> 00:01:37,366 He came into this world in this body, and He laid it down in death. 29 00:01:37,367 --> 00:01:39,595 Blood spells death. 30 00:01:39,596 --> 00:01:42,498 And without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness, 31 00:01:42,499 --> 00:01:44,557 there is no remission of sins. 32 00:01:44,558 --> 00:01:47,881 But He shed His blood in the perfect sacrifice. 33 00:01:47,882 --> 00:01:50,613 And those who trust Him now, Perfect! 34 00:01:50,614 --> 00:01:52,333 Totally justified! 35 00:01:52,334 --> 00:01:53,652 Absolutely. (P) 36 00:01:53,653 --> 00:01:57,829 Brethren, does that not provoke a confidence? 37 00:01:57,830 --> 00:02:01,862 Does that make you want to just jump up and down on the ice? 38 00:02:01,863 --> 00:02:06,221 ALL my sins. I can boldly come. 39 00:02:06,222 --> 00:02:10,084 On my worst day, I can boldly come. He is not going to turn me away. 40 00:02:10,085 --> 00:02:12,444 Because it is not based on my merits, 41 00:02:12,445 --> 00:02:15,940 on my life, on my goodness, on my good works; 42 00:02:15,941 --> 00:02:19,119 it is based on Him and Him alone. 43 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,588 This is what he wants us to see. 44 00:02:21,589 --> 00:02:23,911 This is what he wants us to feast on. (P) 45 00:02:23,912 --> 00:02:29,262 Sometimes we just have to sit back, and come to recognize what all this is about. 46 00:02:29,263 --> 00:02:33,855 Just step back, and let it sink in afresh. 47 00:02:33,856 --> 00:02:40,641 In all my wickedness; I mean, we were there with Diego. 48 00:02:40,642 --> 00:02:44,795 Either trying to merit something on our own good works, 49 00:02:44,796 --> 00:02:52,151 living wicked lives and actually thinking we're pretty good. 50 00:02:53,216 --> 00:02:56,289 We have to take this in. (P) 51 00:02:56,290 --> 00:02:59,996 Our sin isn't this big. 52 00:02:59,997 --> 00:03:10,147 One sin; and God's glory against which I have stepped on, trampled on, is so great: 53 00:03:10,148 --> 00:03:14,823 To fall short of the glory of God is such a great crime 54 00:03:14,824 --> 00:03:18,231 that I must go to hell forever through endless ages, 55 00:03:18,247 --> 00:03:23,859 suffering eternal torments of punishment and tribulation and distress, 56 00:03:23,867 --> 00:03:29,051 and the smoke of my torment going up forever and forever and forever and forever; 57 00:03:29,052 --> 00:03:30,754 even if it was just one sin. 58 00:03:30,755 --> 00:03:33,060 Why? Because God is that great. 59 00:03:33,061 --> 00:03:37,452 He is that beautiful. He is that valuable. 60 00:03:37,453 --> 00:03:42,996 And my sin against Him is a crime of inestimable value. 61 00:03:42,997 --> 00:03:51,008 And when suddenly you behold this second Person of the Trinity - 62 00:03:51,009 --> 00:03:58,975 the Word of God; the eternal delight of the Father whose value knows no bounds - 63 00:03:58,976 --> 00:04:08,010 for Him to humble Himself and take upon Himself human flesh and blood; 64 00:04:08,011 --> 00:04:16,801 for the Father to give Him up, not for a friend, for a rebel. 65 00:04:16,802 --> 00:04:26,095 For Him to look at the object of His eternal love, and CRUSH Him; 66 00:04:26,096 --> 00:04:31,352 because of what you did, and your crime deserved. 67 00:04:31,353 --> 00:04:34,907 And to watch that blood run, 68 00:04:34,908 --> 00:04:48,817 and that body hang limp as the darkness comes off the land, when God smote His Son. (P) 69 00:04:48,818 --> 00:04:51,579 He was made a propitiation. 70 00:04:51,580 --> 00:04:59,184 God vented His wrath that every one of His people deserved. 71 00:04:59,185 --> 00:05:08,854 Such an infinite transaction took place. Christ Himself recoiled. 72 00:05:08,855 --> 00:05:13,879 We just have to stand back sometimes and think. 73 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:20,350 Take it in, and realize. 74 00:05:20,351 --> 00:05:23,294 Not only that, but then Christ goes up to heaven, 75 00:05:23,294 --> 00:05:26,773 it's not like, "Well, Oh He is done with them." "I've paid for them." 76 00:05:26,774 --> 00:05:33,823 He is going to, through endless ages now, bear our humanity. 77 00:05:33,824 --> 00:05:36,552 Can you imagine God doing that? 78 00:05:36,553 --> 00:05:45,630 Robing Himself with humanity, not just for 33 years, [but] forever. 79 00:05:45,631 --> 00:05:49,332 Forever He has identified with us. 80 00:05:49,333 --> 00:05:55,600 A sympathetic High Priest who lives forevermore. (P) 81 00:05:55,601 --> 00:06:00,743 We just need to step back and recognize. 82 00:06:00,744 --> 00:06:05,565 And because of that blood and because of that body, 83 00:06:05,566 --> 00:06:10,000 He bids us into His presence: Come.
