- We celebrate the birth of our savior, jesus christ,

- But in doing so, sometimes,
- 00:00:24.170 --> 00:00:25.672
- We forget that jesus existed
- 00:00:25.672 --> 00:00:27.907
- Long before he came to earth as a baby,
- 00:00:27.907 --> 00:00:30.610

- Do you ever feel uncertain about what you believe

- Or struggle to put your faith into words?
- 00:03:46.372 --> 00:03:48.775
- In a world where truth shifts with every cultural trend,
- 00:03:48.775 --> 00:03:52.545
- Christians need solid ground to stand on.
- 00:03:52.545 --> 00:03:55.348
- In "what every christian should know,"
- 00:03:55.348 --> 00:03:57.083
- Dr. robert jeffress
- 00:03:57.083 --> 00:03:58.651
- Equips you to understand 10 core doctrines of christianity.
- 00:03:58.651 --> 00:04:01.521
- Build your faith and your families
- 00:04:01.521 --> 00:04:03.323
- On biblical truth that never changes.
- 00:04:03.323 --> 00:04:05.825
- Request "what every christian should know"
- 00:04:05.825 --> 00:04:07.760
- When you give a generous gift
- 00:04:07.760 --> 00:04:09.162
- To support the ministry of "pathway to victory."
- 00:04:09.162 --> 00:04:12.999
- ♪ music ♪
- 00:04:13.333 --> 00:04:18.705
- ♪ music ♪
- 00:04:19.038 --> 00:04:20.940
- In some inexplicable way,
- 00:04:20.940 --> 00:04:23.309
- God took all of our sin and he wrapped it around jesus,
- 00:04:23.309 --> 00:04:28.648
- And he took all of the righteousness,
- 00:04:29.449 --> 00:04:30.950
- The perfection of jesus,
- 00:04:30.950 --> 00:04:32.452
- And wrapped it around those of us who trust in him.
- 00:04:32.452 --> 00:04:36.022
- And the result was, we have eternal life.
- 00:04:36.923 --> 00:04:39.492
- When god looks at you as a christian,
- 00:04:39.492 --> 00:04:41.461
- He no longer sees your sin,
- 00:04:41.461 --> 00:04:43.363
- He sees the righteousness of his son.
- 00:04:43.363 --> 00:04:46.466
- When we talk to jesus,
- 00:04:46.466 --> 00:04:47.700
- We're not talking to some distant deity
- 00:04:47.700 --> 00:04:50.103
- Who doesn't understand what we're going through.
- 00:04:50.103 --> 00:04:53.039
- In hebrews 4:14-16, the writer says,
- 00:04:53.039 --> 00:04:57.110
- "for we don't have a high priest
- 00:04:57.110 --> 00:04:59.245
- Who can't sympathize with our weaknesses,
- 00:04:59.245 --> 00:05:02.014
- But one who was tested in all points as we are,
- 00:05:02.014 --> 00:05:06.018
- And yet without sin."
- 00:05:06.018 --> 00:05:08.154
- Let us come boldly with confidence to the throne of grace
- 00:05:08.154 --> 00:05:12.425
- That we might receive mercy
- 00:05:12.425 --> 00:05:13.960
- And find grace to help us in our time of need.
- 00:05:13.960 --> 00:05:18.164
- Thirdly, jesus prioritized his relationship with god
- 00:05:19.232 --> 00:05:24.270
- During his 33 years here on earth.
- 00:05:25.004 --> 00:05:27.106
- If we're a disciple of jesus, if we're a follower of jesus,
- 00:05:27.106 --> 00:05:31.611
- We're going to follow that same priority,
- 00:05:31.611 --> 00:05:33.446
- Making god the priority of our lives.
- 00:05:33.446 --> 00:05:35.948
- Let me just mention
- 00:05:35.948 --> 00:05:37.417
- Three ways he prioritized his relationship with god.
- 00:05:37.417 --> 00:05:40.052
- He prioritized his father's word.
- 00:05:40.052 --> 00:05:43.823
- There's no indication that jesus,
- 00:05:44.590 --> 00:05:46.359
- When he was in that manger,
- 00:05:46.359 --> 00:05:48.227
- Had a knowledge of scripture
- 00:05:48.227 --> 00:05:49.962
- Just automatically poured into his heart.
- 00:05:49.962 --> 00:05:53.666
- There was a data dump of bible verses into jesus' being.
- 00:05:53.666 --> 00:05:58.304
- He learned the scriptures.
- 00:05:58.304 --> 00:05:59.705
- We see that in luke 2:47.
- 00:05:59.705 --> 00:06:04.243
- He grew in his understanding of god.
- 00:06:04.243 --> 00:06:06.913
- He memorized and meditated on the scripture.
- 00:06:06.913 --> 00:06:10.416
- It was an important part of his life,
- 00:06:10.416 --> 00:06:12.418
- And you see that illustrated in luke 4:1-13
- 00:06:12.418 --> 00:06:16.756
- In his temptation by satan in the wilderness.
- 00:06:16.756 --> 00:06:20.526
- Now, you know in epic battles between good and evil,
- 00:06:20.526 --> 00:06:24.530
- In the world of marvel comics or "star wars" universes,
- 00:06:24.530 --> 00:06:28.768
- Whenever good and evil clashed with one another,
- 00:06:28.768 --> 00:06:32.138
- It's described in terms of energy pulses
- 00:06:32.138 --> 00:06:36.209
- That change the landscape of the earth
- 00:06:36.209 --> 00:06:39.412
- Or lightning bolts that come from fingertips.
- 00:06:39.412 --> 00:06:42.915
- It's very dramatic.
- 00:06:42.915 --> 00:06:44.617
- But jesus used a weapon
- 00:06:44.617 --> 00:06:46.652
- When confronting evil far more powerful
- 00:06:46.652 --> 00:06:49.789
- Than energy pulses and lightning bolts.
- 00:06:49.789 --> 00:06:52.859
- He used the word of god.
- 00:06:52.859 --> 00:06:55.094
- You've heard me say this before, but it bears repeating.
- 00:06:56.195 --> 00:06:59.632
- When satan tempted jesus
- 00:06:59.632 --> 00:07:01.400
- At a level of temptation none of us has ever experienced,
- 00:07:01.400 --> 00:07:05.137
- How did jesus repel those temptations?
- 00:07:05.137 --> 00:07:07.907
- By quoting scripture.
- 00:07:07.907 --> 00:07:10.076
- And the scripture, he repeated each of those three times,
- 00:07:10.076 --> 00:07:13.312
- Came from the book of deuteronomy.
- 00:07:13.312 --> 00:07:15.915
- Most christians can't even find the book of deuteronomy,
- 00:07:17.049 --> 00:07:20.887
- Much less know how to use it
- 00:07:20.887 --> 00:07:22.522
- And how to use the precise verses
- 00:07:22.522 --> 00:07:24.924
- That will help us combat satan's temptation,
- 00:07:24.924 --> 00:07:27.727
- But priority of god's word was a part of jesus' life.
- 00:07:27.727 --> 00:07:33.065
- He prioritized his father's word.
- 00:07:33.799 --> 00:07:36.369
- Secondly, he prioritized his father's presence.
- 00:07:36.369 --> 00:07:40.840
- Being with his heavenly father,
- 00:07:40.840 --> 00:07:42.575
- Connecting with him was vital for jesus' survival.
- 00:07:42.575 --> 00:07:47.179
- We often talk about mark 1:35.
- 00:07:47.179 --> 00:07:50.483
- It's a verse that records what happened
- 00:07:50.483 --> 00:07:52.585
- The next day after jesus' busiest recorded day in ministry,
- 00:07:52.585 --> 00:07:57.323
- How he administered late into the evening.
- 00:07:57.323 --> 00:07:59.625
- The bible says on the next morning, mark 1:35,
- 00:07:59.625 --> 00:08:02.528
- "in the early morning, while it was still dark,
- 00:08:02.528 --> 00:08:05.798
- Jesus got up.
- 00:08:05.798 --> 00:08:07.199
- He left the house and went to a secluded place
- 00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:10.703
- And was praying there."
- 00:08:10.703 --> 00:08:13.606
- I just came on this verse this week
- 00:08:14.373 --> 00:08:16.742
- That shows that that wasn't a one-time event.
- 00:08:16.742 --> 00:08:20.513
- Luke 5:16 says jesus himself
- 00:08:20.513 --> 00:08:23.549
- Would often slip away to the wilderness and pray.
- 00:08:23.549 --> 00:08:28.321
- Now, think about it.
- 00:08:28.788 --> 00:08:30.523
- If spending time in the early morning
- 00:08:30.523 --> 00:08:33.225
- Before anything else was a priority for jesus,
- 00:08:33.225 --> 00:08:36.629
- It was necessary for his spiritual survival,
- 00:08:36.629 --> 00:08:39.632
- How much more important was it for ours?
- 00:08:39.632 --> 00:08:43.202
- He put a priority on connecting with god.
- 00:08:43.202 --> 00:08:47.139
- And by the way, he didn't do it just alone.
- 00:08:48.007 --> 00:08:51.544
- Jesus found an equally effective way to connect with god.
- 00:08:51.544 --> 00:08:55.548
- It's not an either/or,
- 00:08:55.548 --> 00:08:56.983
- It's both/and was in worship with other christians.
- 00:08:56.983 --> 00:08:59.719
- That's how he connected to the presence of god.
- 00:08:59.719 --> 00:09:02.755
- Luke 4 tells us immediately after that temptation,
- 00:09:02.755 --> 00:09:05.858
- The wilderness, you know where he went?
- 00:09:05.858 --> 00:09:08.260
- Luke 4:16 says he went to nazareth
- 00:09:08.260 --> 00:09:11.931
- And entered into the synagogue,
- 00:09:11.931 --> 00:09:14.634
- As was his custom.
- 00:09:14.634 --> 00:09:18.037
- It was his habit to be involved in worship once a week
- 00:09:19.071 --> 00:09:22.541
- With other believers.
- 00:09:22.541 --> 00:09:24.343
- That was vital for his connection to his heavenly father.
- 00:09:24.343 --> 00:09:28.347
- We're glad to have everybody who worships with us online
- 00:09:28.347 --> 00:09:31.884
- And watch this "pathway to victory."
- 00:09:31.884 --> 00:09:34.320
- That's great, but it's no substitute for in-person worship.
- 00:09:34.320 --> 00:09:38.524
- We all need the connection,
- 00:09:38.524 --> 00:09:40.593
- The energy to god
- 00:09:40.593 --> 00:09:42.428
- That comes from being with other believers.
- 00:09:42.428 --> 00:09:45.598
- Thirdly, jesus prioritized his father's will.
- 00:09:45.598 --> 00:09:50.903
- And one time, the disciples were concerned
- 00:09:51.771 --> 00:09:53.039
- That jesus wasn't getting enough to eat.
- 00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:54.473
- He said, don't worry about that, john 4:34,
- 00:09:54.473 --> 00:09:57.276
- "my food is to do the will of him who sent me
- 00:09:57.276 --> 00:10:01.347
- And to accomplish his work."
- 00:10:01.347 --> 00:10:06.118
- Obeying god,
- 00:10:06.452 --> 00:10:08.187
- Saying, "yes," to his commands
- 00:10:08.187 --> 00:10:09.922
- And, "no," to his prohibitions,
- 00:10:09.922 --> 00:10:12.391
- That was the cornerstone of jesus' life.
- 00:10:12.391 --> 00:10:15.394
- And it should be of ours as well.
- 00:10:15.394 --> 00:10:19.965
- Let's be honest.
- 00:10:20.332 --> 00:10:21.901
- For most of us,
- 00:10:21.901 --> 00:10:23.102
- Our problem is not that we don't know
- 00:10:23.102 --> 00:10:25.071
- What god wants us to do.
- 00:10:25.071 --> 00:10:27.239
- It's deciding whether we are going to do
- 00:10:28.107 --> 00:10:30.476
- What god wants us to do.
- 00:10:30.476 --> 00:10:32.745
- If we know what god's will, we may not know our future,
- 00:10:32.745 --> 00:10:35.581
- But we know god's will for us.
- 00:10:35.581 --> 00:10:39.285
- Jesus made obeying god the cornerstone of his life.
- 00:10:39.285 --> 00:10:42.888
- George w. truett, who is pastor here for 50 years,
- 00:10:43.923 --> 00:10:47.393
- Once defined success this way.
- 00:10:47.393 --> 00:10:49.195
- He said, "success is knowing the will of god
- 00:10:49.195 --> 00:10:53.833
- And doing it."
- 00:10:53.833 --> 00:10:55.801
- Doing it.
- 00:10:55.801 --> 00:10:57.303
- That was the cornerstone of jesus' life.
- 00:10:57.303 --> 00:11:00.973
- We've talked about jesus before christmas in heaven,
- 00:11:00.973 --> 00:11:05.244
- From eternity past what he was doing.
- 00:11:05.244 --> 00:11:07.913
- We've talked about what he did
- 00:11:07.913 --> 00:11:09.148
- During his 33 years here on earth.
- 00:11:09.148 --> 00:11:11.784
- What is he doing in heaven today?
- 00:11:11.784 --> 00:11:14.620
- Remember,
- 00:11:14.620 --> 00:11:16.122
- After 40 days in his resurrected body,
- 00:11:16.956 --> 00:11:19.158
- Jesus gathered his disciples on the mount of olives,
- 00:11:19.158 --> 00:11:22.461
- He made this prophecy.
- 00:11:22.461 --> 00:11:24.163
- He said, "you'll receive power
- 00:11:24.163 --> 00:11:26.031
- When the holy spirit has come upon you,
- 00:11:26.031 --> 00:11:28.134
- And you shall be my witnesses,
- 00:11:28.134 --> 00:11:29.869
- Both in jerusalem, and in judea, and samaria,
- 00:11:29.869 --> 00:11:32.872
- And to the remotest part of the earth."
- 00:11:32.872 --> 00:11:35.040
- And then jesus ascended into heaven.
- 00:11:35.040 --> 00:11:37.777
- The disciples were gawking at that,
- 00:11:37.777 --> 00:11:39.845
- And remember in verse 11, the two angels said,
- 00:11:39.845 --> 00:11:42.414
- "why are you staring into heaven?
- 00:11:42.414 --> 00:11:44.016
- This same jesus is returning one day."
- 00:11:44.016 --> 00:11:47.019
- Now, we know what we're supposed to be doing
- 00:11:47.019 --> 00:11:48.988
- Until he comes again.
- 00:11:48.988 --> 00:11:50.890
- We're to go and to make disciples,
- 00:11:50.890 --> 00:11:53.159
- But what is jesus doing in heaven right now?
- 00:11:53.159 --> 00:11:57.129
- Two things i want to mention to you.
- 00:11:57.129 --> 00:11:58.664
- First of all,
- 00:11:58.664 --> 00:11:59.965
- Jesus is advocating our case before his father.
- 00:11:59.965 --> 00:12:04.236
- He's advocating our case before his father.
- 00:12:04.236 --> 00:12:06.672
- Hebrews 7:25 says,
- 00:12:06.672 --> 00:12:08.574
- "he always lives to make intercession for them."
- 00:12:08.574 --> 00:12:13.179
- Now, i want to confess to you,
- 00:12:13.179 --> 00:12:14.413
- The way i've understood that in the past,
- 00:12:14.413 --> 00:12:16.148
- And perhaps even preached it, was thinking,
- 00:12:16.148 --> 00:12:18.450
- "well, yeah, jesus is in heaven praying for us."
- 00:12:18.450 --> 00:12:21.887
- But then i begin to think of it,
- 00:12:21.887 --> 00:12:23.189
- "okay, if jesus is seated
- 00:12:23.189 --> 00:12:25.391
- At the right hand of god the father,
- 00:12:25.391 --> 00:12:27.793
- Why would jesus be bowing his head and praying for us
- 00:12:28.894 --> 00:12:32.164
- When his father's right next to him?"
- 00:12:32.164 --> 00:12:34.366
- I mean, it doesn't make any sense to me.
- 00:12:35.234 --> 00:12:37.503
- And i came to realize,
- 00:12:37.503 --> 00:12:38.938
- That word intercession isn't a synonym for prayer.
- 00:12:38.938 --> 00:12:43.375
- It literally means to intervene for.
- 00:12:43.375 --> 00:12:47.580
- He is intervening for us in heaven right now.
- 00:12:47.580 --> 00:12:53.018
- And to fully understand what that means is 1 john 2:1,
- 00:12:54.119 --> 00:12:57.556
- John says, "my little children,
- 00:12:57.556 --> 00:12:59.258
- I'm writing these things to you so that you may not sin.
- 00:12:59.258 --> 00:13:02.394
- But if anyone does sin,
- 00:13:02.394 --> 00:13:04.330
- We have an advocate with the father jesus christ,
- 00:13:04.330 --> 00:13:08.968
- The righteous."
- 00:13:08.968 --> 00:13:10.336
- That word advocate can mean lawyer.
- 00:13:10.336 --> 00:13:13.839
- Jesus is our lawyer.
- 00:13:13.839 --> 00:13:17.109
- He's arguing our case before god the father.
- 00:13:17.109 --> 00:13:22.348
- Now, when do you need a lawyer?
- 00:13:22.982 --> 00:13:25.951
- When you're being sued, right, doug?
- 00:13:25.951 --> 00:13:27.920
- You need a good attorney.
- 00:13:27.920 --> 00:13:29.521
- If somebody's trying to drag you into court,
- 00:13:29.521 --> 00:13:32.157
- Put you into jail,
- 00:13:32.157 --> 00:13:33.525
- You want an advocate, you want a lawyer.
- 00:13:33.525 --> 00:13:36.962
- We have an advocate.
- 00:13:36.962 --> 00:13:38.163
- Why do we need a lawyer?
- 00:13:38.163 --> 00:13:40.165
- Because we have somebody who's prosecuting us day and night
- 00:13:40.165 --> 00:13:43.335
- Before god the father.
- 00:13:43.335 --> 00:13:44.870
- His name is satan.
- 00:13:44.870 --> 00:13:46.605
- In revelation 12:10,
- 00:13:46.605 --> 00:13:48.040
- He's described as the accuser of the brethren
- 00:13:48.040 --> 00:13:51.744
- Who, day and night,
- 00:13:51.744 --> 00:13:53.112
- Is accusing god's children before god, the father.
- 00:13:53.112 --> 00:13:56.382
- Right now, at this very moment,
- 00:13:56.382 --> 00:13:58.217
- Satan is not down here on earth.
- 00:13:58.217 --> 00:14:00.252
- He's not sitting next to you whispering into your ear.
- 00:14:00.252 --> 00:14:02.922
- That's the work of demons.
- 00:14:02.922 --> 00:14:04.456
- Satan, the bible says, is before god the father slamming us,
- 00:14:04.456 --> 00:14:09.495
- Prosecuting us, accusing us,
- 00:14:10.095 --> 00:14:12.031
- Arguing why he ought to be able to take us to hell forever.
- 00:14:12.031 --> 00:14:16.168
- But while he is prosecuting us,
- 00:14:16.168 --> 00:14:18.437
- We have an advocate seated next to the judge of the world.
- 00:14:18.437 --> 00:14:21.974
- His name is jesus christ.
- 00:14:21.974 --> 00:14:24.176
- And day and night,
- 00:14:24.176 --> 00:14:25.411
- He is pleading our case before the father,
- 00:14:25.411 --> 00:14:27.880
- Reminding the father of what he accomplished on our behalf.
- 00:14:27.880 --> 00:14:32.518
- Jesus is advocating our case before the father.
- 00:14:32.518 --> 00:14:35.421
- Secondly, jesus is building a home for us in heaven.
- 00:14:35.421 --> 00:14:40.759
- Now, we don't have time to get into this.
- 00:14:41.627 --> 00:14:43.495
- 2 corinthians 5:8 says,
- 00:14:43.495 --> 00:14:45.331
- "the moment we die, we go to be with the lord."
- 00:14:45.331 --> 00:14:48.167
- To be absent from the body is to be at home with the lord.
- 00:14:48.167 --> 00:14:51.003
- That's the third heaven, where god is, wherever that is.
- 00:14:51.003 --> 00:14:54.740
- But that third heaven is not our final home.
- 00:14:54.740 --> 00:14:57.710
- The final home for all believers
- 00:14:57.710 --> 00:14:59.912
- Will be the new earth and the new heaven.
- 00:14:59.912 --> 00:15:03.015
- And the centerpiece of that newly-recreated earth
- 00:15:04.016 --> 00:15:07.119
- Will be a new capital city called the new jerusalem.
- 00:15:07.119 --> 00:15:10.356
- It's going to be 1,500 miles long, wide, and high.
- 00:15:10.356 --> 00:15:14.159
- Revelation 21, john says, "i saw that city,
- 00:15:15.060 --> 00:15:17.796
- The new jerusalem coming down out of heaven to earth.
- 00:15:17.796 --> 00:15:22.201
- Jesus, right now, is in heaven preparing a place for us."
- 00:15:22.201 --> 00:15:26.905
- John 14.
- 00:15:26.905 --> 00:15:28.707
- That new jerusalem is what i call the ultimate
- 00:15:28.707 --> 00:15:31.343
- In prefab housing.
- 00:15:31.343 --> 00:15:32.644
- It's being built someplace else.
- 00:15:32.644 --> 00:15:35.581
- It's being built by the greatest carpenter of all time.
- 00:15:35.581 --> 00:15:39.284
- Jesus christ is overseeing that.
- 00:15:39.284 --> 00:15:41.186
- John 14 says, "and one day,
- 00:15:41.186 --> 00:15:43.122
- It's going to come out of heaven to earth."
- 00:15:43.122 --> 00:15:45.691
- He's building a home for us.
- 00:15:45.691 --> 00:15:48.827
- Now, i've got about six minutes left,
- 00:15:48.827 --> 00:15:52.664
- And this is the most important part of the sermon.
- 00:15:52.664 --> 00:15:55.434
- What does all of this information about jesus christ
- 00:15:55.434 --> 00:15:59.004
- Mean to us today?
- 00:15:59.004 --> 00:16:00.539
- How does it affect us today?
- 00:16:00.539 --> 00:16:02.875
- There's a term in our culture called parting gift.
- 00:16:02.875 --> 00:16:07.146
- We talk about parting gifts.
- 00:16:07.146 --> 00:16:10.249
- I looked it up.
- 00:16:10.249 --> 00:16:11.450
- The origin of that phrase, actually,
- 00:16:11.450 --> 00:16:13.652
- Is from tv game shows in the '60s and the '70s.
- 00:16:13.652 --> 00:16:17.523
- When a contestant lost, didn't make the final cut,
- 00:16:17.523 --> 00:16:22.027
- And didn't win the grand prize,
- 00:16:22.027 --> 00:16:24.029
- It was time for him to exit.
- 00:16:24.029 --> 00:16:25.264
- The host would say,
- 00:16:25.264 --> 00:16:26.598
- "well, we've got some parting gifts for you
- 00:16:26.598 --> 00:16:28.734
- As you leave the stage."
- 00:16:28.734 --> 00:16:30.869
- For my own game show stint 40 years ago,
- 00:16:30.869 --> 00:16:34.473
- We still have immunized some of our parting gifts,
- 00:16:34.473 --> 00:16:37.776
- Some microwave cookware,
- 00:16:37.776 --> 00:16:40.145
- Shasta beach towel that didn't hold up that great,
- 00:16:41.146 --> 00:16:43.649
- But we still have it anyway.
- 00:16:43.649 --> 00:16:45.484
- But we understand parting gifts to mean a consolation prize
- 00:16:45.484 --> 00:16:49.755
- That you receive.
- 00:16:49.755 --> 00:16:51.723
- When jesus was ready to leave the world stage,
- 00:16:51.723 --> 00:16:55.794
- Instead of receiving a parting gift,
- 00:16:56.562 --> 00:16:58.697
- He gave a parting gift to all of us.
- 00:16:58.697 --> 00:17:01.867
- And instead of being a consolation prize,
- 00:17:01.867 --> 00:17:04.503
- It was the grand prize of them all.
- 00:17:04.503 --> 00:17:07.172
- He describes it in john 14:27, "peace, i leave with you.
- 00:17:07.172 --> 00:17:12.411
- My peace, i give to you,
- 00:17:12.911 --> 00:17:14.179
- Not as the world gives do i give to you.
- 00:17:14.179 --> 00:17:17.216
- Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful."
- 00:17:17.216 --> 00:17:22.621
- What kind of peace does jesus give us?
- 00:17:23.455 --> 00:17:25.924
- First of all, he gives us peace about our past.
- 00:17:25.924 --> 00:17:30.062
- He offers us peace about our past.
- 00:17:30.062 --> 00:17:32.698
- I read this week some sage advice
- 00:17:32.698 --> 00:17:34.833
- That came from an army ranger.
- 00:17:34.833 --> 00:17:37.870
- He said, "if you're ever an army ranger
- 00:17:37.870 --> 00:17:40.806
- In a black hawk helicopter
- 00:17:40.806 --> 00:17:42.941
- About to land in the dead of night
- 00:17:42.941 --> 00:17:44.710
- And capture the next osama bin laden,
- 00:17:44.710 --> 00:17:47.379
- Here's what you need to do.
- 00:17:47.379 --> 00:17:49.548
- Legs in, rear tight, mind blank,
- 00:17:49.548 --> 00:17:53.685
- Goggles down, bolts checked, straps pulled, grenades tested,
- 00:17:53.685 --> 00:17:58.557
- And relationship to god figured out."
- 00:17:59.391 --> 00:18:02.561
- That's great advice.
- 00:18:03.028 --> 00:18:04.863
- When you're facing the end,
- 00:18:04.863 --> 00:18:07.232
- Make sure your relationship with god is right.
- 00:18:08.200 --> 00:18:11.603
- All of us have sins in our background,
- 00:18:12.437 --> 00:18:15.707
- That we're fearful that:
- 00:18:15.707 --> 00:18:17.276
- What if god decides to judge us for those sins?
- 00:18:17.276 --> 00:18:21.380
- But the death of jesus christ means our sins are forgiven
- 00:18:21.380 --> 00:18:25.951
- And forgotten forever.
- 00:18:25.951 --> 00:18:28.720
- That's what jesus coming means to us.
- 00:18:28.720 --> 00:18:31.056
- Psalm 103:12 says, "as far as the east is from the west,
- 00:18:31.056 --> 00:18:36.361
- So far god has removed our transgressions from us.
- 00:18:37.362 --> 00:18:39.731
- We never need the fear of the condemnation of god."
- 00:18:39.731 --> 00:18:43.735
- He offers us peace about our past.
- 00:18:43.735 --> 00:18:45.737
- He offers us peace about the present.
- 00:18:45.737 --> 00:18:48.440
- Jesus never promised us
- 00:18:48.440 --> 00:18:51.109
- That we would be exempt from problems.
- 00:18:51.109 --> 00:18:53.011
- He said, "in this world, you will have tribulation."
- 00:18:53.011 --> 00:18:56.248
- But he also said,
- 00:18:56.682 --> 00:18:57.950
- "i will be with you through those problems.
- 00:18:57.950 --> 00:19:00.219
- I'm not going to abandon you."
- 00:19:00.219 --> 00:19:02.221
- Matthew 28:20, "lo, i'm with you always,
- 00:19:02.221 --> 00:19:05.090
- Even until the end of the age."
- 00:19:05.090 --> 00:19:06.892
- Hebrews 13:5, "i will not leave you as orphans.
- 00:19:06.892 --> 00:19:10.028
- I will neither leave you, nor will i desert you."
- 00:19:10.028 --> 00:19:14.833
- And finally, jesus offers us peace about our future.
- 00:19:14.833 --> 00:19:21.473
- Let's all admit it.
- 00:19:21.940 --> 00:19:23.508
- Sometimes, we wonder,
- 00:19:23.508 --> 00:19:25.444
- "what's going to happen to us when we die?"
- 00:19:25.444 --> 00:19:28.513
- When we die, do we just close our eyes
- 00:19:28.513 --> 00:19:30.782
- And enter into a nothingness we're not even aware of?
- 00:19:30.782 --> 00:19:35.020
- Or is there something beyond death?
- 00:19:35.821 --> 00:19:37.823
- And if there is something beyond death,
- 00:19:38.624 --> 00:19:40.292
- If there is a heaven and a hell,
- 00:19:40.292 --> 00:19:41.994
- How can i know for sure that i'm not going to end up in hell
- 00:19:41.994 --> 00:19:47.332
- And i'm going to be with god forever?
- 00:19:48.166 --> 00:19:49.334
- How do i know that for sure?
- 00:19:49.334 --> 00:19:52.371
- I've been reading the new autobiography
- 00:19:53.238 --> 00:19:55.641
- Of novelist james patterson.
- 00:19:55.641 --> 00:19:59.011
- James patterson's not a christian;
- 00:19:59.011 --> 00:20:01.680
- Agnostic at best.
- 00:20:01.680 --> 00:20:04.449
- But in his story,
- 00:20:04.449 --> 00:20:06.351
- He tells about a good friend of his
- 00:20:06.351 --> 00:20:08.253
- Who was very devout catholic.
- 00:20:08.253 --> 00:20:10.622
- The friend was terminally ill,
- 00:20:10.622 --> 00:20:12.758
- Only had a few days left to live,
- 00:20:12.758 --> 00:20:14.426
- And patterson went to visit with him.
- 00:20:14.426 --> 00:20:16.161
- And his friend wanted to call for the priest
- 00:20:16.161 --> 00:20:19.831
- To have one final talk with him.
- 00:20:19.831 --> 00:20:21.767
- So the parish priest entered the hospital room
- 00:20:21.767 --> 00:20:25.637
- And the patient, on scene, the priest just stared at him,
- 00:20:25.637 --> 00:20:29.708
- Really glared at him with a stone-cold expression.
- 00:20:29.708 --> 00:20:34.880
- Patterson said it really got to be uncomfortable
- 00:20:35.814 --> 00:20:38.450
- After a few moments.
- 00:20:38.450 --> 00:20:39.918
- -and finally, -(dr. jeffress chuckling)
- 00:20:39.918 --> 00:20:41.520
- The patient started shaking his rigid finger at the priest
- 00:20:41.520 --> 00:20:46.124
- And said, "you'd better be right."
- 00:20:46.892 --> 00:20:51.196
- (congregation laughing)
- 00:20:51.697 --> 00:20:57.069
- What are you trusting in?
- 00:20:57.636 --> 00:20:59.705

- 00:21:02.307 --> 00:21:04.176
- If it's some priest, some pastor, some philosopher,
- 00:21:05.243 --> 00:21:08.814
- They may or may not be correct.
- 00:21:08.814 --> 00:21:11.750
- There's only one reliable source to entrust your future to.
- 00:21:11.750 --> 00:21:16.688
- It's the only one who's ever lived in heaven
- 00:21:16.688 --> 00:21:18.824
- And come back to tell us what it is and how to get there.
- 00:21:18.824 --> 00:21:22.928
- His name is jesus christ.
- 00:21:23.495 --> 00:21:26.131
- He's the one who said, "let not your heart be troubled,
- 00:21:26.131 --> 00:21:30.168
- Neither let it be afraid.
- 00:21:30.168 --> 00:21:32.371
