Joseph Prince | Joseph Prince - Feeling Unworthy? Watch This | July 13, 2026

...
00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:09.895
Joseph prince: we serve a god
00:00:12.030 --> 00:00:13.398
Who doesn't want us...
00:00:13.532 --> 00:00:16.201
To hurt ourselves.
00:00:16.335 --> 00:00:19.138
He would rather be lacerated and scourged for all of us.
00:00:19.271 --> 00:00:21.907
Stop hurting yourself.
00:00:25.444 --> 00:00:29.448
Whether physically, mentally, or you have a good relationship,
00:00:29.448 --> 00:00:33.118
You always sabotage it
00:00:33.118 --> 00:00:34.586
Because you feel, deep down, you don't deserve it.
00:00:34.586 --> 00:00:39.057
You sabotage things because somehow, deep down,
00:00:39.057 --> 00:00:42.361
You feel like you're not worthy of success,
00:00:42.361 --> 00:00:45.397
Not worthy of that relationship,
00:00:45.397 --> 00:00:48.200
You're not worthy to have a family.
00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:53.071
Stop punishing yourself.
00:00:53.071 --> 00:00:56.575
And stop offering sin offerings.
00:00:56.575 --> 00:01:01.613
Jesus is the final sin offering.
00:01:01.613 --> 00:01:04.683
He was lacerated, he was beaten,
00:01:04.683 --> 00:01:06.685
He was scourged, he died for our sins
00:01:06.685 --> 00:01:09.988
On that cross, amen?
00:01:09.988 --> 00:01:14.226
The judgment that you read about in the old testament,
00:01:14.226 --> 00:01:17.763
It will never fall on your head.
00:01:17.763 --> 00:01:20.799
You will never be judged.
00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:22.434
"there is therefore now no condemnation
00:01:22.434 --> 00:01:24.903
For those who are in christ jesus."
00:01:24.903 --> 00:01:28.173
Does that make you want to sin more?
00:01:28.173 --> 00:01:29.841
No, makes you want to love him more.
00:01:29.841 --> 00:01:33.512
You fall in love with him.
00:01:33.512 --> 00:01:34.880
The sacrifice is greater than the judgment,
00:01:34.880 --> 00:01:41.954
Because over here, the judgment consume
00:01:41.954 --> 00:01:45.257
Everything, right?
00:01:45.257 --> 00:01:48.894
So, the judgment was greater than the sacrifice.
00:01:48.894 --> 00:01:52.698
But here, the sacrifice consumed the judgment,
00:01:52.698 --> 00:01:57.302
And shout, "finished," and he still remained.
00:01:57.302 --> 00:02:00.572
And that's why i love to preach grace, amen.
00:02:00.572 --> 00:02:08.947
Male announcer: does reading the bible
00:02:08.947 --> 00:02:10.315
Feel difficult or confusing?
00:02:10.315 --> 00:02:12.484
What if you read it as a love letter from god
00:02:12.484 --> 00:02:14.786
Written just for you?
00:02:14.786 --> 00:02:16.888
In today's message, joseph reveals
00:02:16.888 --> 00:02:18.824
How every page of the bible points to our lord jesus
00:02:18.824 --> 00:02:22.294
And the amazing love he has for you and your family.
00:02:22.294 --> 00:02:25.964
Have you ever opened the bible looking for answers,
00:02:25.964 --> 00:02:28.433
Only to feel confused, overwhelmed, and not quite sure
00:02:28.433 --> 00:02:31.703
Where to begin?
00:02:31.703 --> 00:02:33.038
What if there's a better way?
00:02:33.038 --> 00:02:34.606
Stop looking for answers, start looking for jesus.
00:02:34.606 --> 00:02:38.210
In his book, "how to read the bible,"
00:02:38.210 --> 00:02:40.078
Joseph will help you see jesus in the word like never before.
00:02:40.078 --> 00:02:43.582

Of our lord jesus for you.

00:02:50.789 --> 00:02:53.659

And now here's pastor joseph prince
00:03:13.979 --> 00:03:16.415
With today's program.
00:03:16.415 --> 00:03:17.749
Joseph prince: once upon a time,
00:03:17.749 --> 00:03:19.284
God gave the covenant to israel on mount sinai.
00:03:19.284 --> 00:03:25.624
It was given on the day of pentecost.
00:03:25.624 --> 00:03:30.395
So, jewish people celebrate pentecost
00:03:30.395 --> 00:03:34.333
In remembering that god gave them the law.
00:03:34.333 --> 00:03:38.603
The bible says in the new testament,
00:03:38.603 --> 00:03:40.105
"when the day of pentecost was fully come,"
00:03:40.105 --> 00:03:43.942
Notice how telling, "god gave the spirit,"
00:03:43.942 --> 00:03:48.113
On another mountain, not on mount sinai,
00:03:48.113 --> 00:03:50.482
But on mount zion, on mount zion.
00:03:50.482 --> 00:03:54.519
And over at mount sinai, when god gave the law,
00:03:54.519 --> 00:03:59.524
At the end of the whole thing, 3,000 people died
00:03:59.524 --> 00:04:02.661
At the foot of the mountain.
00:04:02.661 --> 00:04:04.296
When god gave the spirit on mount zion,
00:04:04.296 --> 00:04:07.499
3,000 people were saved.
00:04:07.499 --> 00:04:10.635
Notice, i said, god gave the...spirit.
00:04:10.635 --> 00:04:13.805
Here god gave the...law.
00:04:13.805 --> 00:04:17.242
And the apostle paul says in 2 corinthians 3,
00:04:17.242 --> 00:04:20.112
"the letter kills, but the spirit gives life."
00:04:20.112 --> 00:04:24.516
All right, the law demands, grace supplies, amen.
00:04:24.516 --> 00:04:31.523
Now, in all this, we are not compromising
00:04:31.523 --> 00:04:34.393
On the moral excellence that god had in mind in the law.
00:04:34.393 --> 00:04:40.165
In fact, the spirit will produce in and through you
00:04:40.165 --> 00:04:44.903
Moral excellence, moral valor,
00:04:44.903 --> 00:04:51.276
Self-control, joy, peace.
00:04:51.276 --> 00:04:55.046
The religion of mount sinai
00:04:55.046 --> 00:04:58.383
Is very morose, melancholy, sad, depressed.
00:04:58.383 --> 00:05:03.321
Over here is joy.
00:05:03.321 --> 00:05:05.724
And the bible talks about joy unspeakable
00:05:05.724 --> 00:05:08.226
And full of glory.
00:05:08.226 --> 00:05:11.296
There's always someone who comes.
00:05:11.296 --> 00:05:12.664
And we talk about we are justified by faith
00:05:12.664 --> 00:05:15.300
And not by the works of the law,
00:05:15.300 --> 00:05:16.902
There's someone who always say, "you know, pastor prince,
00:05:16.902 --> 00:05:19.704
Works are important," okay?
00:05:19.704 --> 00:05:22.607
And it all depends on what you are saying.
00:05:22.607 --> 00:05:25.811
Works are important to salvation
00:05:25.811 --> 00:05:27.412
Or works are important in and of itself, amen.
00:05:27.412 --> 00:05:32.818
Believers ought to affirm-- we ought to have to maintain
00:05:32.818 --> 00:05:37.055
Good works.
00:05:37.055 --> 00:05:38.390
That is good works being produced.
00:05:38.390 --> 00:05:40.692
On this side, it is not good works,
00:05:40.692 --> 00:05:42.594
It is dead works.
00:05:42.594 --> 00:05:44.362
And the bible talks about repentance from dead works.
00:05:44.362 --> 00:05:48.366
In other words, these good works are life works.
00:05:48.366 --> 00:05:50.569
It comes from life.
00:05:50.569 --> 00:05:53.004
Can i have a good amen?
00:05:53.004 --> 00:05:54.372
Are you all with me so far?
00:05:54.372 --> 00:05:55.974
In order to overcome any sin in your life,
00:05:55.974 --> 00:05:57.909
You've got to be on mount zion, on grace ground,
00:05:57.909 --> 00:06:02.113
Not on mount sinai, amen.
00:06:02.113 --> 00:06:05.884
Can i have a good amen?
00:06:05.884 --> 00:06:07.285
Praise the lord.
00:06:07.285 --> 00:06:08.620
And one good illustration about this idea--
00:06:08.620 --> 00:06:11.690
"faith without works is dead, pastor prince."
00:06:11.690 --> 00:06:14.092
So, what are you telling me now?
00:06:14.092 --> 00:06:16.127
That we are justified by faith and works?
00:06:16.127 --> 00:06:19.798
"oh, no, no, no, what i'm saying is
00:06:19.798 --> 00:06:21.500
That we are justified by faith," all right?
00:06:21.500 --> 00:06:24.035
"what shall we say, then, that abraham, our father
00:06:24.035 --> 00:06:26.104
As pertaining to the flesh," all right, "has found?
00:06:26.104 --> 00:06:27.939
If abraham was justified by works, he has something
00:06:27.939 --> 00:06:30.609
To boast about, but not before god.
00:06:30.609 --> 00:06:32.911
For what does the scripture say?
00:06:32.911 --> 00:06:34.279
'abraham believed god, it was accounted to him
00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:36.381
For righteousness.'"
00:06:36.381 --> 00:06:37.716
If abraham boasted about his works, all right,
00:06:37.716 --> 00:06:40.919
He has something to boast about, but not in front of god.
00:06:40.919 --> 00:06:44.222
In front of god, or before god,
00:06:44.222 --> 00:06:47.092
All our works are as filthy rags.
00:06:47.092 --> 00:06:51.296
Can i have a good amen?
00:06:51.296 --> 00:06:53.798
It does not say our sins are as filthy rags.
00:06:53.798 --> 00:06:56.835
It says, "all our righteousness that we do are as filthy rags
00:06:56.835 --> 00:07:03.875
Before god," amen.
00:07:03.875 --> 00:07:07.879
So, the bible says abraham was not justified by his works.
00:07:07.879 --> 00:07:12.651
If he was justified by his works, he can boast--
00:07:12.651 --> 00:07:15.987
But not before god, right?
00:07:15.987 --> 00:07:18.356
"for what does the bible say?
00:07:18.356 --> 00:07:19.691
'abraham believed god, it was accounted to him
00:07:19.691 --> 00:07:21.192
For righteousness.'"
00:07:21.192 --> 00:07:22.527
Now, what exactly did he believe god?
00:07:22.527 --> 00:07:25.063
What exactly did he believe god?
00:07:25.063 --> 00:07:26.464
Okay, it says-- he goes on to say,
00:07:26.464 --> 00:07:28.934
"now to him who works--"
00:07:28.934 --> 00:07:30.969
If you work for something, when you get it,
00:07:30.969 --> 00:07:33.872
It's wages, isn't it?
00:07:33.872 --> 00:07:36.241
Am i right, lah?
00:07:36.241 --> 00:07:37.642
But "now to him who works, the wages are not counted
00:07:37.642 --> 00:07:41.146
As grace but as debt."
00:07:41.146 --> 00:07:44.015
You work for your boss, your boss gives you a salary.
00:07:44.015 --> 00:07:47.018
Is that your wage, or is that something of grace?
00:07:47.018 --> 00:07:55.694
Grace means unearned, undeserved favor.
00:07:55.694 --> 00:07:58.997
It's wage, right?
00:07:58.997 --> 00:08:01.166
So, the next verse says, "but to him who does not work
00:08:01.166 --> 00:08:04.302
But believes on him," on god, "who justifies," listen.
00:08:04.302 --> 00:08:08.607
A lot of people read so fast that they don't really
00:08:08.607 --> 00:08:11.176
Meditate on the word of god.
00:08:11.176 --> 00:08:12.844
The word of god, slow down.
00:08:12.844 --> 00:08:14.980
Look at what it says, "to him who does not work
00:08:14.980 --> 00:08:17.515
But believes on god who justifies the ungodly,"
00:08:17.515 --> 00:08:24.022
Not the godly.
00:08:24.022 --> 00:08:27.092
How can god, the thrice holy god,
00:08:27.092 --> 00:08:31.162
The almighty god, with whom there is no shadow of turning,
00:08:31.162 --> 00:08:35.600
How can he justly, righteously--
00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:44.509
How can he ever,
00:08:44.509 --> 00:08:46.878
With all the perfect holiness that he is,
00:08:46.878 --> 00:08:52.417
"whose eyes," habakkuk says, "are too pure to behold evil,"
00:08:52.417 --> 00:08:59.157
How can he justify, make righteous, the ungodly?
00:08:59.157 --> 00:09:05.230
"he justifies the godly--"
00:09:05.230 --> 00:09:06.931
We always say-- that, we can understand.
00:09:06.931 --> 00:09:10.168
And that's why you don't need the holy spirit
00:09:10.168 --> 00:09:15.407
To understand law.
00:09:15.407 --> 00:09:18.076
Law basically is do good, get good;
00:09:18.076 --> 00:09:19.944
Do bad, get bad, right?
00:09:19.944 --> 00:09:23.615
You need the holy spirit to understand grace.
00:09:23.615 --> 00:09:26.785
How you can deserve,
00:09:26.785 --> 00:09:29.254
How you can receive good that you don't deserve.
00:09:29.254 --> 00:09:33.892
Because another received all the bad that we deserved.
00:09:33.892 --> 00:09:38.530
And this god, the holy god, "justifying the ungodly,"
00:09:38.530 --> 00:09:45.003
Those who believe that, "their faith is counted
00:09:45.003 --> 00:09:48.006
For righteousness before god."
00:09:48.006 --> 00:09:50.909
God wants you to believe in him as that kind of god.
00:09:50.909 --> 00:09:54.813
Whoa.
00:09:54.813 --> 00:09:56.715
So, how do you explain that a thrice holy god
00:09:56.715 --> 00:10:01.619
Can justify the ungodly?
00:10:01.619 --> 00:10:03.688
There must be a righteous basis, amen?
00:10:03.688 --> 00:10:07.926
And we have that righteous basis
00:10:07.926 --> 00:10:09.794
In the cross of our lord jesus christ.
00:10:09.794 --> 00:10:12.997
This god so loved you, so loved the world,
00:10:12.997 --> 00:10:16.634
That he gave his only son.
00:10:16.634 --> 00:10:21.473
And what did he do with his son?
00:10:21.473 --> 00:10:25.143
He gave his son up to die for all of us.
00:10:25.143 --> 00:10:28.713
Let me tell you this.
00:10:28.713 --> 00:10:32.484
The father loved his son like no other.
00:10:32.484 --> 00:10:36.788
And that's the reason why he told abraham,
00:10:36.788 --> 00:10:38.790
"take your son, your only son, the son that you love," right?
00:10:38.790 --> 00:10:45.396
Because god knew that, one day, he will take his son,
00:10:45.396 --> 00:10:48.700
His only son, the son that he loved.
00:10:48.700 --> 00:10:53.138
And like abraham, if abraham is able to give up his son--
00:10:53.138 --> 00:10:57.275
Of course, god never wanted that human sacrifice.
00:10:57.275 --> 00:11:00.478
It has the--i mean, the blood of isaac
00:11:00.478 --> 00:11:03.948
Was tainted with sin anyway.
00:11:03.948 --> 00:11:05.750
God never wanted a sacrifice.
00:11:05.750 --> 00:11:07.185
God just wanted to see
00:11:07.185 --> 00:11:08.520
Whether he was willing to give up
00:11:08.520 --> 00:11:09.854
The son that he loves.
00:11:09.854 --> 00:11:11.523
So that god can justly enter into a covenant
00:11:11.523 --> 00:11:14.025
With a man on earth,
00:11:14.025 --> 00:11:15.360
So that all the courts of heaven,
00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:16.961
Plus all the powers of darkness,
00:11:16.961 --> 00:11:18.963
And satan himself cannot question god,
00:11:18.963 --> 00:11:22.400
"how can you cut a covenant with a mere mortal?
00:11:22.400 --> 00:11:25.303
How can you, a perfect god,
00:11:25.303 --> 00:11:27.305
Cut a covenant with a fallen man?
00:11:27.305 --> 00:11:30.708
Man is imperfect, but you are perfect.
00:11:30.708 --> 00:11:33.678
There is no covenant of equals here."
00:11:33.678 --> 00:11:39.617
So, god had to give a test. so, parents, don't worry.
00:11:39.617 --> 00:11:43.154
He will never give you this test.
00:11:43.154 --> 00:11:44.722
It's something unique for abraham
00:11:44.722 --> 00:11:46.825
To see if abraham is willing to give up
00:11:46.825 --> 00:11:48.393
The son that he loves.
00:11:48.393 --> 00:11:49.894
So, now if your covenant partner
00:11:49.894 --> 00:11:52.497
Gives something to you, right, you have to give it to him.
00:11:52.497 --> 00:11:58.303
See the wisdom of god?
00:11:58.303 --> 00:12:00.738
So, it's so telling.
00:12:00.738 --> 00:12:02.073
Take your son, your only son, the son that you love.
00:12:02.073 --> 00:12:05.743
"god, just don't make it hard for him.
00:12:05.743 --> 00:12:07.912
Just say, 'take isaac, eh?
00:12:07.912 --> 00:12:10.715
Tomorrow i'll let you know what's gonna happen,' right?
00:12:10.715 --> 00:12:14.118
Don't say, 'take your son,
00:12:14.118 --> 00:12:16.521
Your only son, the son that you love.'"
00:12:16.521 --> 00:12:23.461
Then when the boy and the father
00:12:23.461 --> 00:12:26.030
Went up the mountain,
00:12:26.030 --> 00:12:27.732
He was probably a teenager at that time,
00:12:27.732 --> 00:12:29.901
By the hebrew word "na'ar,"
00:12:29.901 --> 00:12:31.736
A youth.
00:12:31.736 --> 00:12:33.071
So, as they go up the mountain,
00:12:33.071 --> 00:12:35.807
The boy was carrying the wood...mm.
00:12:35.807 --> 00:12:40.144
And jesus took the cross, went forth.
00:12:40.144 --> 00:12:43.314
I love the way john described it.
00:12:43.314 --> 00:12:46.484
It wasn't like he was beaten and forced to carry,
00:12:46.484 --> 00:12:50.188
He had to be pushed to carry.
00:12:50.188 --> 00:12:51.856
"jesus bore the cross, went forth"--an active work.
00:12:51.856 --> 00:12:57.795
He looked forward to the cross, for the joy set before him
00:12:57.795 --> 00:13:01.666
In obedience to his father.
00:13:01.666 --> 00:13:03.835
No wonder the father loved him,
00:13:03.835 --> 00:13:05.169
Because the father loves him all the time,
00:13:05.169 --> 00:13:06.971
But there's an impetus where jesus says,
00:13:06.971 --> 00:13:09.641
"therefore doth my father love me
00:13:09.641 --> 00:13:11.209
Because i lay down my life," amen?
00:13:11.209 --> 00:13:18.416
And the boy turned-- carrying the wood,
00:13:18.416 --> 00:13:20.585
The boy turned, so he's a type of jesus.
00:13:20.585 --> 00:13:23.288
And i was going up mount moriah, which is the highest--
00:13:23.288 --> 00:13:26.124
Going up to the peak of today, you'll find that, in jerusalem,
00:13:26.124 --> 00:13:30.628
That's where the temple mount is.
00:13:30.628 --> 00:13:32.363
And that's where abraham brought his son.
00:13:32.363 --> 00:13:35.400
Because god told him, "i'll bring you
00:13:35.400 --> 00:13:36.768
To a mountain i will show you of."
00:13:36.768 --> 00:13:38.836
And of that mountain, abraham said,
00:13:38.836 --> 00:13:42.240
"jehovah jireh" at the end of it all, right?
00:13:42.240 --> 00:13:47.211
See, the thing is this: mount moriah, the temple mount,
00:13:47.211 --> 00:13:50.949
Goes on to a higher peak, you know?
00:13:50.949 --> 00:13:53.651
This is where the temple was built.
00:13:53.651 --> 00:13:55.620
This is where abraham offered his son--
00:13:55.620 --> 00:13:58.890
Or didn't offer his son, you know, right?
00:13:58.890 --> 00:14:00.758
But this is where he brought his son.
00:14:00.758 --> 00:14:02.894
But the highest peak of mount moriah
00:14:02.894 --> 00:14:04.796
Is mount calvary.
00:14:04.796 --> 00:14:08.333
And that's the place where jesus will be crucified.
00:14:08.333 --> 00:14:12.036
It's all the same range, mountain range.
00:14:12.036 --> 00:14:14.772
No wonder the bible says before he plunged the knife
00:14:14.772 --> 00:14:18.076
Into his son, right, god stopped him from heaven.
00:14:18.076 --> 00:14:21.646
And now god says, "now i know you fear me--"
00:14:21.646 --> 00:14:25.116
Or "you love me."
00:14:25.116 --> 00:14:26.718
Same idea that god is saying to him.
00:14:26.718 --> 00:14:29.320
"because you have not withheld your son, your only son,
00:14:29.320 --> 00:14:33.191
The son that you love.
00:14:33.191 --> 00:14:34.959
Therefore, in blessing, i'll bless you;
00:14:34.959 --> 00:14:38.329
And in multiplying, i'll multiply you."
00:14:38.329 --> 00:14:41.532
Later on in hebrews, it says that this is
00:14:41.532 --> 00:14:43.735
God's swearing when he used that kind of term.
00:14:43.735 --> 00:14:47.205
"blessing i'll bless you, multiplying i'll multiply you."
00:14:47.205 --> 00:14:49.974
Then in the book of hebrews, it says, "all the heirs of promise
00:14:49.974 --> 00:14:52.910
Is also under this sworn blessing."
00:14:52.910 --> 00:14:57.715
Amen.
00:14:57.715 --> 00:14:59.150
Under this sworn multiplication.
00:14:59.150 --> 00:15:02.086
Can i have a good amen?
00:15:02.086 --> 00:15:05.056
And then he was about to plunge the knife, and god stopped him.
00:15:05.056 --> 00:15:10.028
And god told him that, right?
00:15:10.028 --> 00:15:12.130
But then the bible says, "he turned around and he saw a ram."
00:15:12.130 --> 00:15:16.401
A ram is not a young lamb growing up, right?
00:15:16.401 --> 00:15:21.239
It is actually a mature lamb.
00:15:21.239 --> 00:15:25.109
And he was caught by his horns, in a thicket.
00:15:25.109 --> 00:15:29.080
A thicket is actually thorny bush.
00:15:29.080 --> 00:15:31.716
And the ram had his head inside, and he was caught in a bush.
00:15:31.716 --> 00:15:36.554
Now, they say that rams don't do that.
00:15:36.554 --> 00:15:42.226
Lambs, yes, they can get caught,
00:15:42.226 --> 00:15:44.462
But rams, they have grown up a little.
00:15:44.462 --> 00:15:47.365
They know the neighborhood, they know the town,
00:15:47.365 --> 00:15:50.435
They know the kind of plants, all right?
00:15:50.435 --> 00:15:52.970
No ram will enter headlong right into a thorny bush,
00:15:52.970 --> 00:15:58.176
The thicket, but this ram did.
00:15:58.176 --> 00:16:01.679
Our lord jesus took the cross, his cross,
00:16:01.679 --> 00:16:04.882
Saw the place, calvary, and went forth, amen?
00:16:04.882 --> 00:16:09.887
Another thing is that when you're caught
00:16:09.887 --> 00:16:12.390
By the horns and not by your wool,
00:16:12.390 --> 00:16:16.894
Like most lambs, all right, inexperienced lambs--
00:16:16.894 --> 00:16:20.832
They are caught by the wool.
00:16:20.832 --> 00:16:22.200
When you pull them out, there's lacerations and blemishes.
00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:27.271
That lamb is no more a fit sacrifice for offering.
00:16:27.271 --> 00:16:31.075
But this ram was caught, this mature ram was caught
00:16:31.075 --> 00:16:33.945
By his horns, not by his wool.
00:16:33.945 --> 00:16:37.715
He's without blemish, okay?
00:16:37.715 --> 00:16:42.553
So, when you--when abraham came and pulled that ram out--
00:16:42.553 --> 00:16:47.158
It's very hard to pull a ram out that's caught by his horns,
00:16:47.158 --> 00:16:50.928
By his strong horns.
00:16:50.928 --> 00:16:53.664
When you pull him out, what do you have?
00:16:53.664 --> 00:16:55.299
The horns come out as a crown of?
00:16:55.299 --> 00:16:59.704
Thorns.
00:16:59.704 --> 00:17:02.340
The bible says-- and i also believe that,
00:17:02.340 --> 00:17:05.710
Not only the animal of the ram,
00:17:05.710 --> 00:17:07.145
"abraham," jesus said to the people of his day,
00:17:07.145 --> 00:17:10.081
"abraham rejoiced to see my day."
00:17:10.081 --> 00:17:13.851
And the pharisees told him, "you are not yet 50 years old.
00:17:13.851 --> 00:17:16.320
You have seen abraham?"
00:17:16.320 --> 00:17:17.855
Then he says, "before abraham was, i am."
00:17:17.855 --> 00:17:24.662
Then they took up stones to stone him
00:17:24.662 --> 00:17:27.098
Because he made himself equal with god--
00:17:27.098 --> 00:17:30.034
Which he is, right?
00:17:30.034 --> 00:17:35.973
What does he mean?
00:17:35.973 --> 00:17:37.308
"abraham rejoiced to see my day."
00:17:37.308 --> 00:17:38.743
Jesus said, "abraham rejoiced to see my day."
00:17:38.743 --> 00:17:44.081
Where did abraham see jesus? i believe, in the ram.
00:17:44.081 --> 00:17:50.021
When god says, "hold your hand, don't slay your son," amen?
00:17:50.021 --> 00:17:54.692
God provided jesus to take his place
00:17:54.692 --> 00:17:59.330
And our place, amen.
00:17:59.330 --> 00:18:02.366
That's when abraham had a vision that,
00:18:02.366 --> 00:18:07.071
On mount calvary, god will provide
00:18:07.071 --> 00:18:10.474
A lamb of sacrifice for all of us, amen.
00:18:10.474 --> 00:18:14.645
And you know what he called the place?
00:18:14.645 --> 00:18:16.347
Now, listen carefully, we call it jehovah jireh.
00:18:16.347 --> 00:18:18.683
We have songs and all that on jehovah jireh.
00:18:18.683 --> 00:18:20.952
Actually, the word "jireh" is the hebrew word "yireh."
00:18:20.952 --> 00:18:26.557
Yireh means to see.
00:18:26.557 --> 00:18:29.827
"yahweh"..."sees"...
00:18:29.827 --> 00:18:32.697
And to see, to the jewish mind,
00:18:32.697 --> 00:18:34.932
Is to provide.
00:18:34.932 --> 00:18:37.201
If i tell you, for example, you're telling me,
00:18:37.201 --> 00:18:38.736
"pastor prince, we have this and this and this to buy
00:18:38.736 --> 00:18:41.372
And that kind of thing, don't worry about it.
00:18:41.372 --> 00:18:43.541
I'll see to it."
00:18:43.541 --> 00:18:46.277
"see" means provide, also.
00:18:46.277 --> 00:18:49.313
Another principle you can learn--
00:18:49.313 --> 00:18:51.182
You can see it, it's provided for you.
00:18:51.182 --> 00:18:55.453
When you pray, do not see yourself without.
00:18:55.453 --> 00:18:57.955
You know, it's one thing if your mouth is saying,
00:18:57.955 --> 00:18:59.890
"you know, god heal me," or "god, you know,
00:18:59.890 --> 00:19:03.060
I want to overcome this in my life or whatever,"
00:19:03.060 --> 00:19:05.396
But you're seeing yourself still under the power of it.
00:19:05.396 --> 00:19:09.500
No, see it. and the provision is there.
00:19:09.500 --> 00:19:13.971
To see is to provide.
00:19:13.971 --> 00:19:15.306
So, the word yireh comes from the hebrew word "to see."
00:19:15.306 --> 00:19:18.676
So, it says in your marginal rendering
00:19:18.676 --> 00:19:21.178
Of some of your bibles, it says,
00:19:21.178 --> 00:19:22.513
"in the mount of the lord, it shall be seen," right?
00:19:22.513 --> 00:19:25.816
"jehovah jireh" means in the mount of the lord,
00:19:25.816 --> 00:19:27.551
It shall be seen.
00:19:27.551 --> 00:19:28.919
Actually, he shall be seen.
00:19:28.919 --> 00:19:32.156
It's saying, "in the mountain range
00:19:32.156 --> 00:19:33.891
Of the lord, he shall be seen," amen.
00:19:33.891 --> 00:19:39.864
Now, we understand, because jesus took
00:19:39.864 --> 00:19:42.900
Our sins, your sins, my sins,
00:19:42.900 --> 00:19:45.636
And when jesus took our sins-- because the father and the son,
00:19:45.636 --> 00:19:48.539
This transaction, it is like the love of god
00:19:48.539 --> 00:19:52.310
Was paying the full satisfaction to the judgment of god,
00:19:52.310 --> 00:19:58.516
And it was god who provided this love.
00:19:58.516 --> 00:20:01.085
I'm telling you, it's amazing--
00:20:01.085 --> 00:20:03.287
The love that god has for you and i,
00:20:03.287 --> 00:20:05.189
That god will have to accept you righteously,
00:20:05.189 --> 00:20:08.859
On a righteous foundation.
00:20:08.859 --> 00:20:10.594
God had to send his son, amen?
00:20:10.594 --> 00:20:12.997
You know, we serve a god
00:20:12.997 --> 00:20:14.699
Who doesn't want us...
00:20:14.699 --> 00:20:17.435
To hurt ourselves.
00:20:17.435 --> 00:20:20.371
He would rather be lacerated and scourged for all of us.
00:20:20.371 --> 00:20:26.744
Stop hurting yourself.
00:20:26.744 --> 00:20:30.648
Whether physically, mentally, or you have a good relationship,
00:20:30.648 --> 00:20:34.418
You always sabotage it because you feel, deep down,
00:20:34.418 --> 00:20:37.088
You don't deserve it.
00:20:37.088 --> 00:20:42.393
You sabotage things because somehow, deep down,
00:20:42.393 --> 00:20:45.596
You feel like you're not worthy of success,
00:20:45.596 --> 00:20:48.632
Not worthy of that relationship,
00:20:48.632 --> 00:20:51.502
You're not worthy to have a family.
00:20:51.502 --> 00:20:56.374
Stop punishing yourself.
00:20:56.374 --> 00:20:59.844
And stop offering sin offerings.
00:20:59.844 --> 00:21:04.915
Jesus is the final sin offering.
00:21:04.915 --> 00:21:07.985
He was lacerated, he was beaten, he was scourged.
00:21:07.985 --> 00:21:11.288
He died for our sins on that cross, amen?
00:21:11.288 --> 00:21:17.461
The judgment that you read about in the old testament,
00:21:17.461 --> 00:21:21.031
It will never fall on your head.
00:21:21.031 --> 00:21:24.034
You will never be judged.
00:21:24.034 --> 00:21:26.070
If god judges you today
00:21:26.070 --> 00:21:27.605
For the sins that he judged his son for--
00:21:27.605 --> 00:21:30.007
Because his son was carrying your sins--
00:21:30.007 --> 00:21:32.243
It will be a miscarriage of justice.
00:21:32.243 --> 00:21:34.445
It's what you call the law of double jeopardy.
00:21:34.445 --> 00:21:36.814
The same crime cannot be tried twice.
00:21:36.814 --> 00:21:40.418
"there is therefore now no condemnation
00:21:40.418 --> 00:21:42.953
For those who are in christ jesus."
00:21:42.953 --> 00:21:46.123
Does that make you want to sin more?
00:21:46.123 --> 00:21:47.858
No, makes you want to love him more.
00:21:47.858 --> 00:21:51.495
You fall in love with him, amen.
00:21:51.495 --> 00:21:59.804
And this time, the sacrifice is greater than the judgment.
00:21:59.804 --> 00:22:09.513
Because over here, the judgment consumed everything, right?
00:22:09.513 --> 00:22:16.487
So, the judgment was greater than the sacrifice.
00:22:16.487 --> 00:22:20.291
But here, the sacrifice consumed the judgment
00:22:20.291 --> 00:22:24.962
And shout, "finished!" and he still remained.
00:22:24.962 --> 00:22:32.169
And then he cried, "father, into your hands
00:22:32.169 --> 00:22:39.543
I commit my spirit."
00:22:39.543 --> 00:22:41.145
The word--listen carefully-- and jesus breathed.
00:22:41.145 --> 00:22:43.547
Right after that, he breathed.
00:22:43.547 --> 00:22:46.150
His spirit is the same word a king would use to dismiss
00:22:46.150 --> 00:22:50.988
His subject.
00:22:50.988 --> 00:22:53.624
This king dismissed his spirit.
00:22:53.624 --> 00:22:56.994
It's amazing the way the bible says.
00:22:56.994 --> 00:22:58.362
The bible didn't say--
00:22:58.362 --> 00:22:59.697
Most people, when they are on the cross,
00:22:59.697 --> 00:23:01.031
Their head is upright, right?
00:23:01.031 --> 00:23:02.867
After they die, then the head...droop.
00:23:02.867 --> 00:23:06.203
Am i right?
00:23:06.203 --> 00:23:08.472
Hello, law of gravity, right?
00:23:08.472 --> 00:23:11.842
The bible says jesus positioned himself,
00:23:11.842 --> 00:23:15.546
Positioned himself.
00:23:15.546 --> 00:23:18.749
And then he didn't-- his head didn't drop,
00:23:18.749 --> 00:23:21.752
Because he died.
00:23:21.752 --> 00:23:23.087
He had power over death.
00:23:23.087 --> 00:23:26.290
He positioned himself for death on the cross,
00:23:26.290 --> 00:23:28.859
And then he dismissed his spirit...
00:23:28.859 --> 00:23:33.664
He dismissed his-- then he died as a man,
00:23:33.664 --> 00:23:36.534
Became fully man, fully god, he died as man.
00:23:36.534 --> 00:23:42.006
And that's why i love to preach grace.
00:23:42.006 --> 00:23:49.146
Amen.
00:23:49.146 --> 00:23:50.581
