[1402.78 --> 1403.80] is going to be |
[1403.80 --> 1404.58] once and for all |
[1404.58 --> 1406.24] the atoning sacrifice |
[1406.24 --> 1408.18] that will forgive us, |
[1408.40 --> 1408.92] rescue us, |
[1408.96 --> 1409.60] and set us free. |
[1409.70 --> 1410.36] Praise the Lord. |
[1411.58 --> 1412.72] But the word I love |
[1412.72 --> 1413.52] in this passage, |
[1414.18 --> 1415.04] the word that grips |
[1415.04 --> 1415.92] my own heart, |
[1416.34 --> 1417.64] is advocate. |
[1417.64 --> 1420.60] we imagine Jesus |
[1420.60 --> 1421.68] in so many ways, |
[1421.82 --> 1423.18] sometimes a very unhealthy |
[1423.18 --> 1423.82] and there is, |
[1423.96 --> 1424.40] I think, |
[1424.46 --> 1425.46] really distorted views |
[1425.46 --> 1426.10] we have of Jesus. |
[1426.46 --> 1427.50] But not only does Jesus |
[1427.50 --> 1428.50] once and for all |
[1428.50 --> 1429.32] deal with the power |
[1429.32 --> 1429.76] of sin, |
[1429.88 --> 1430.58] the power of Satan, |
[1430.68 --> 1431.14] the power of the |
[1431.14 --> 1431.86] idolatrous powers |
[1431.86 --> 1432.36] in this world |
[1432.36 --> 1433.60] and take it to the grave, |
[1433.86 --> 1435.02] he rises victorious |
[1435.02 --> 1436.12] and then ascends |
[1436.12 --> 1436.98] to be with the Father. |
[1437.56 --> 1438.52] And Romans 8 says, |
[1438.74 --> 1439.64] not only is the Spirit |
[1439.64 --> 1440.54] interceding for us |
[1440.54 --> 1441.30] with wordless groans, |
[1441.60 --> 1442.72] but Jesus Christ, |
[1443.38 --> 1444.42] your and my Savior, |
[1444.80 --> 1445.64] is at the right hand |
[1445.64 --> 1446.18] of the Father |
[1446.18 --> 1447.96] interceding for us |
[1447.96 --> 1449.64] on our behalf. |
[1450.50 --> 1451.76] Is that how you view Jesus? |
[1453.28 --> 1454.06] I think there are |
[1454.06 --> 1454.90] so many extremes |
[1454.90 --> 1455.48] in the church |
[1455.48 --> 1456.66] about our view of Jesus. |
[1456.80 --> 1457.20] Sometimes, |
[1457.66 --> 1458.84] I think I encounter this |
[1458.84 --> 1459.66] probably more regularly, |
[1459.86 --> 1461.76] but we're so broken |
[1461.76 --> 1462.50] by our sin. |
[1463.32 --> 1464.44] We're so ashamed |
[1464.44 --> 1465.32] of the patterns |
[1465.32 --> 1466.26] of addiction. |
[1466.56 --> 1467.20] We're ashamed |
[1467.20 --> 1467.90] of these things |
[1467.90 --> 1469.06] that we just can't get over |
[1469.06 --> 1469.90] that we just think |
[1469.90 --> 1470.58] there's no way |
[1470.58 --> 1471.50] that God loves me. |
[1471.76 --> 1472.28] There's no way |
[1472.28 --> 1473.00] that work of Jesus |
[1473.00 --> 1473.72] is for me |
[1473.72 --> 1474.86] and we're just too far gone. |
[1475.64 --> 1476.82] I encounter that perspective |
[1476.82 --> 1478.50] in explicit and implicit ways |
[1478.50 --> 1479.48] in the church all the time. |
[1479.68 --> 1481.04] But the other extreme is |
[1481.04 --> 1483.64] that it's fine. |
[1484.38 --> 1485.58] There's no sin to deal with. |
[1486.04 --> 1486.72] It's all good, |
[1486.80 --> 1487.38] sort of what we see |
[1487.38 --> 1487.94] in this passage. |
[1489.00 --> 1490.36] And what John says to us |
[1490.36 --> 1491.10] is number one, |
[1491.18 --> 1492.18] the sin's far worse |
[1492.18 --> 1492.94] than you realize. |
[1493.24 --> 1494.46] The darkness you walk in |
[1494.46 --> 1495.08] is real. |
[1495.52 --> 1496.76] And the way you deal with it, |
[1496.80 --> 1497.76] the way you bring it |
[1497.76 --> 1498.48] to the Father |
[1498.48 --> 1500.22] is confession. |
[1500.22 --> 1503.18] And Jesus Christ |
[1503.18 --> 1504.56] delights |
[1504.56 --> 1505.92] in bringing mercy, |
[1506.24 --> 1506.50] forgiveness, |
[1506.72 --> 1507.68] and purity. |
[1508.58 --> 1508.98] One of the things |
[1508.98 --> 1509.92] I love about this passage |
[1509.92 --> 1510.88] is that the word |
[1510.88 --> 1511.42] that shows up |
[1511.42 --> 1512.18] is purify |
[1512.18 --> 1512.98] and purifying. |
[1513.40 --> 1514.06] And it's the image |
[1514.06 --> 1515.24] of this ongoing |
[1515.24 --> 1516.06] work of Jesus |
[1516.06 --> 1516.80] in our lives |
[1516.80 --> 1517.72] just to make us |
[1517.72 --> 1519.30] more and more like Him. |
