  • ...
  • 00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:10.820
  • Joseph prince: when the lord looks at you,
  • 00:00:13.189 --> 00:00:14.390
  • He says you ought to be loosed,
  • 00:00:14.491 --> 00:00:15.725
  • You ought to be freed, you ought to be liberated,
  • 00:00:15.859 --> 00:00:18.628
  • You ought to be healed.
  • 00:00:18.728 --> 00:00:19.129
  • How can you be a son of abraham, a daughter of abraham,
  • 00:00:20.330 --> 00:00:23.366
  • Remain in this bondage?
  • 00:00:23.366 --> 00:00:24.934
  • He says to you, woman, you are loosed.
  • 00:00:24.934 --> 00:00:27.837
  • Man, you are freed from your infirmity.
  • 00:00:27.837 --> 00:00:30.640
  • Every need is for us to look to jesus and see him as the answer.
  • 00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:34.644
  • And what a wonderful answer.
  • 00:00:34.644 --> 00:00:36.412
  • What an indescribable answer, a lovely answer.
  • 00:00:36.412 --> 00:00:40.717
  • What a beautiful one, amen, our lord jesus.
  • 00:00:40.717 --> 00:00:43.553
  • Male announcer: are you sick in your body
  • 00:00:43.620 --> 00:00:44.954
  • And tired of waiting for answers?
  • 00:00:44.954 --> 00:00:46.623
  • In today's message, joseph prince
  • 00:00:46.623 --> 00:00:48.258
  • Opens the scriptures to show how god's healing is real
  • 00:00:48.258 --> 00:00:50.994
  • And available to you today.
  • 00:00:50.994 --> 00:00:53.530
  • And now here's pastor joseph prince with today's program.
  • 00:00:53.530 --> 00:00:57.233
  • Joseph prince: you know, when jesus was on earth,
  • 00:00:57.233 --> 00:00:59.135
  • It's as if--listen carefully.
  • 00:00:59.135 --> 00:01:00.603
  • You can check throughout the scriptures:
  • 00:01:00.603 --> 00:01:02.505
  • Matthew, mark, luke, and john when jesus was on earth.
  • 00:01:02.505 --> 00:01:06.409
  • You know, when he heals people, he never,
  • 00:01:06.409 --> 00:01:08.811
  • Never imputed their trespasses.
  • 00:01:08.811 --> 00:01:10.747
  • He acted as if he is not counting their sins
  • 00:01:10.747 --> 00:01:13.583
  • Against them.
  • 00:01:13.583 --> 00:01:15.552
  • When he healed them, he acted like there is no sin.
  • 00:01:15.552 --> 00:01:19.589
  • In fact--listen, there is sin.
  • 00:01:19.589 --> 00:01:21.925
  • We know there is sin, but he would always start
  • 00:01:21.925 --> 00:01:23.626
  • With this premise, right?
  • 00:01:23.626 --> 00:01:25.295
  • "go your way."
  • 00:01:25.295 --> 00:01:26.663
  • I'm sure that person has sin.
  • 00:01:26.663 --> 00:01:28.331
  • Amen?
  • 00:01:28.331 --> 00:01:29.666
  • All those that came to jesus--back then,
  • 00:01:29.666 --> 00:01:31.000
  • They were not born again.
  • 00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:32.335
  • Christ has not yet died.
  • 00:01:32.335 --> 00:01:33.670
  • I'm sure they--of course, they have sin in their life,
  • 00:01:33.670 --> 00:01:35.805
  • But he never called out their sin.
  • 00:01:35.805 --> 00:01:37.607
  • In one instance he called out the sin just to say,
  • 00:01:37.607 --> 00:01:40.510
  • "your sins are forgiven you.
  • 00:01:40.510 --> 00:01:42.478
  • Rise, take up your bed, and walk."
  • 00:01:42.478 --> 00:01:45.081
  • Amen.
  • 00:01:45.081 --> 00:01:46.583
  • He healed people as if he's not counting
  • 00:01:46.583 --> 00:01:48.818
  • Their sins against them.
  • 00:01:48.818 --> 00:01:50.453
  • He treated them as if their sins are not put to their account.
  • 00:01:50.453 --> 00:01:56.859
  • Can we treat people like that, or do we qualify people
  • 00:01:56.859 --> 00:01:59.529
  • Before they are healed?
  • 00:01:59.529 --> 00:02:00.930
  • You never see jesus saying things like, "okay, those of you
  • 00:02:00.930 --> 00:02:03.399
  • Who have unforgiveness in your heart,
  • 00:02:03.399 --> 00:02:05.034
  • All of you gather together.
  • 00:02:05.034 --> 00:02:06.436
  • I'm going to pray for you later.
  • 00:02:06.436 --> 00:02:07.804
  • You get right first.
  • 00:02:07.804 --> 00:02:09.272
  • You just step aside on this side of the mountain, all right?
  • 00:02:09.272 --> 00:02:11.808
  • I'm going to come to you later on.
  • 00:02:11.808 --> 00:02:13.142
  • And those of you who are married but you're not talking
  • 00:02:13.142 --> 00:02:15.511
  • To one another, okay, all of you get right first, amen.
  • 00:02:15.511 --> 00:02:18.514
  • You get one side here on the left--on my left here, amen.
  • 00:02:18.514 --> 00:02:21.284
  • You get right.
  • 00:02:21.284 --> 00:02:22.619
  • You better set this right before i pray for you
  • 00:02:22.619 --> 00:02:25.455
  • Or else the power of god cannot flow.
  • 00:02:25.455 --> 00:02:27.090
  • And those of you, you know you have bad thoughts,
  • 00:02:27.090 --> 00:02:29.792
  • Unclean thoughts, and lustful thoughts
  • 00:02:29.792 --> 00:02:31.728
  • And all that,
  • 00:02:31.728 --> 00:02:33.062
  • My power cannot touch you unless you really get all that right.
  • 00:02:33.062 --> 00:02:36.232
  • Make sure you get right in those areas
  • 00:02:36.232 --> 00:02:37.767
  • And then i'll touch you."
  • 00:02:37.767 --> 00:02:39.102
  • Never.
  • 00:02:39.102 --> 00:02:40.903
  • The bible says, "as many as touched him were made whole."
  • 00:02:40.903 --> 00:02:45.642
  • I'm sure that that as many are as many sinners.
  • 00:02:45.642 --> 00:02:50.747
  • They have sin in their lives.
  • 00:02:50.747 --> 00:02:52.548
  • And, friend, why don't we let people receive their healing and
  • 00:02:52.548 --> 00:02:55.785
  • Then the goodness of god will lead them to repentance?
  • 00:02:55.785 --> 00:02:58.888
  • And that's why i believe that god can even touch sinners and
  • 00:02:58.888 --> 00:03:02.659
  • Heal them and then the goodness of god leads them to repentance.
  • 00:03:02.659 --> 00:03:07.130
  • Amen. amen.
  • 00:03:07.130 --> 00:03:09.599
  • Let's keep on reading.
  • 00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:10.933
  • All right, so he's not imputing their trespasses
  • 00:03:10.933 --> 00:03:13.102
  • To them, and he has committed to us the word of reconciliation.
  • 00:03:13.102 --> 00:03:18.474
  • Now, that's the word of reconciliation.
  • 00:03:18.474 --> 00:03:20.343
  • God has given us the responsibility, amen.
  • 00:03:20.343 --> 00:03:22.879
  • He has commissioned us with the word of reconciliation.
  • 00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:25.782
  • And what is the word of reconciliation?
  • 00:03:25.782 --> 00:03:27.183
  • Drop down.
  • 00:03:27.183 --> 00:03:28.518
  • "now then, we are ambassadors for christ,
  • 00:03:28.518 --> 00:03:30.887
  • As though god were pleading through us:
  • 00:03:30.887 --> 00:03:33.723
  • We implore you on christ's behalf,
  • 00:03:33.723 --> 00:03:36.159
  • Be reconciled to god."
  • 00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:38.928
  • So notice it's not god be reconciled to you.
  • 00:03:38.928 --> 00:03:41.431
  • God is reconciled to you.
  • 00:03:41.431 --> 00:03:42.899
  • The problem is not on god's part.
  • 00:03:42.899 --> 00:03:44.467
  • Just like the prodigal son, the father was always scanning
  • 00:03:44.467 --> 00:03:47.570
  • The horizon for the son who was lost, right?
  • 00:03:47.570 --> 00:03:51.140
  • The father was looking out for him.
  • 00:03:51.140 --> 00:03:52.508
  • The father had no animosity in his heart towards his son
  • 00:03:52.508 --> 00:03:55.912
  • Who has rebelled against him, amen.
  • 00:03:55.912 --> 00:03:58.114
  • The father was always looking for him.
  • 00:03:58.114 --> 00:03:59.882
  • He must have for him to run at the moment
  • 00:03:59.882 --> 00:04:02.118
  • His--he got a sight of his son.
  • 00:04:02.118 --> 00:04:05.955
  • So, friend, god doesn't have to be reconciled to you.
  • 00:04:05.955 --> 00:04:09.859
  • You need to come to him and be reconciled to him
  • 00:04:09.859 --> 00:04:13.162
  • Because you have believed the wrong thing about him, amen?
  • 00:04:13.162 --> 00:04:15.832
  • That's the gospel message that we need to preach.
  • 00:04:15.832 --> 00:04:18.134
  • God is not counting your sins against you.
  • 00:04:18.134 --> 00:04:20.269
  • God is waiting for you to come home.
  • 00:04:20.269 --> 00:04:22.171
  • But in some quarters they will say this is just easy,
  • 00:04:22.171 --> 00:04:27.510
  • You know, grace.
  • 00:04:27.510 --> 00:04:28.845
  • This is a greasy grace, this is sloppy agape.
  • 00:04:28.845 --> 00:04:31.247
  • No, friend.
  • 00:04:31.247 --> 00:04:32.582
  • This is the gospel of jesus christ and to say something like
  • 00:04:32.582 --> 00:04:34.384
  • This about the gospel of jesus christ
  • 00:04:34.384 --> 00:04:36.552
  • Is to insult the blood of jesus.
  • 00:04:36.552 --> 00:04:38.087
  • The grace is not cheap because it was the blood of christ
  • 00:04:38.087 --> 00:04:41.124
  • That was shed.
  • 00:04:41.124 --> 00:04:42.458
  • You cannot put a price tag to the blood of christ, my friend.
  • 00:04:42.458 --> 00:04:44.794
  • It's priceless.
  • 00:04:44.794 --> 00:04:46.629
  • And, friend, this is the gospel for paul says in romans 1,
  • 00:04:46.629 --> 00:04:50.166
  • Verse 17, "i am not ashamed of the gospel of christ."
  • 00:04:50.166 --> 00:04:54.771
  • The fact that he says, "i'm not ashamed,"
  • 00:04:54.771 --> 00:04:56.606
  • Is that there is reason and cause
  • 00:04:56.606 --> 00:05:00.410
  • That people are trying to give him to be ashamed,
  • 00:05:00.410 --> 00:05:04.280
  • And usually it is the people that believe
  • 00:05:04.280 --> 00:05:06.816
  • In keeping the law, all right?
  • 00:05:06.816 --> 00:05:08.518
  • But paul says, "i'm not ashamed of the gospel of christ,
  • 00:05:08.518 --> 00:05:11.854
  • For it is the power of god to salvation."
  • 00:05:11.854 --> 00:05:15.992
  • It is the power of god to salvation,
  • 00:05:15.992 --> 00:05:17.994
  • And the word salvation here--please don't think
  • 00:05:17.994 --> 00:05:19.595
  • Of salvation as just being saved from hell.
  • 00:05:19.595 --> 00:05:23.966
  • It is more than that.
  • 00:05:23.966 --> 00:05:25.301
  • The word "soteria" here, by the way,
  • 00:05:25.301 --> 00:05:27.537
  • Is the greek form of yeshua.
  • 00:05:27.537 --> 00:05:30.473
  • The word for salvation is an all-encompassing word,
  • 00:05:30.473 --> 00:05:34.143
  • And the noun is soteria.
  • 00:05:34.143 --> 00:05:36.379
  • The verb is sozo, and sozo is used--in many places
  • 00:05:36.379 --> 00:05:39.382
  • Where jesus healed someone,
  • 00:05:39.382 --> 00:05:41.050
  • He would say, "your faith has sozoed you."
  • 00:05:41.050 --> 00:05:44.053
  • You will find the word "sozo" there.
  • 00:05:44.053 --> 00:05:45.488
  • In other words, healing is sozo, amen?
  • 00:05:45.488 --> 00:05:47.557
  • So the word "soteria" includes health, healing, amen,
  • 00:05:47.557 --> 00:05:52.862
  • Your welfare, your preservation, your protection, amen,
  • 00:05:52.862 --> 00:05:57.433
  • Your family well-being, your own well-being, amen?
  • 00:05:57.433 --> 00:06:01.037
  • It's all in that word "sozo," complete salvation;
  • 00:06:01.037 --> 00:06:04.640
  • And then in the life to come, eternal life, amen,
  • 00:06:04.640 --> 00:06:07.777
  • Which means it's not just not going to hell solely.
  • 00:06:07.777 --> 00:06:11.247
  • A lot of people, they think when they think of salvation,
  • 00:06:11.247 --> 00:06:12.882
  • "okay, we escape hell."
  • 00:06:12.882 --> 00:06:14.350
  • Remember the word "sozo" is also used for saved.
  • 00:06:14.350 --> 00:06:18.688
  • When jesus sowed--said to the woman who was healed,
  • 00:06:18.688 --> 00:06:22.024
  • "daughter, be of good comfort," amen,
  • 00:06:22.024 --> 00:06:24.327
  • "your faith has healed you," the word there's saved you,
  • 00:06:24.327 --> 00:06:29.165
  • Healed you, sozo you in reference to bodily healing.
  • 00:06:29.165 --> 00:06:33.536
  • And, friend, god wants you well.
  • 00:06:33.536 --> 00:06:34.971
  • John says, "beloved, i wish above all things--"
  • 00:06:34.971 --> 00:06:38.107
  • And john will not wish something that is not
  • 00:06:38.107 --> 00:06:40.243
  • In god's heart, and john said to gaius in 3 john 2,
  • 00:06:40.243 --> 00:06:44.881
  • "i wish above all things that you prosper and be in health,
  • 00:06:44.881 --> 00:06:49.185
  • Even as your soul prospers."
  • 00:06:49.185 --> 00:06:51.454
  • Look right now to--at luke 13.
  • 00:06:51.454 --> 00:06:54.457
  • At luke 13, jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues
  • 00:06:54.457 --> 00:06:57.393
  • On the sabbath.
  • 00:06:57.393 --> 00:06:59.095
  • Now, notice it was on the sabbath.
  • 00:06:59.095 --> 00:07:00.663
  • "and behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity
  • 00:07:00.663 --> 00:07:04.567
  • Eighteen years."
  • 00:07:04.567 --> 00:07:06.035
  • This woman had a spirit of infirmity 18 years.
  • 00:07:06.035 --> 00:07:09.472
  • Notice for how long has she been suffering this.
  • 00:07:09.472 --> 00:07:11.340
  • Eighteen years.
  • 00:07:11.340 --> 00:07:12.675
  • There's no insignificant details in the bible,
  • 00:07:12.675 --> 00:07:15.411
  • And even numbers mean something in the bible, amen?
  • 00:07:15.411 --> 00:07:18.214
  • Like, one is always unity, two is agreement,
  • 00:07:18.214 --> 00:07:21.017
  • Three is resurrection, four is number of the earth.
  • 00:07:21.017 --> 00:07:23.920
  • The four winds: north, south, east, west, amen?
  • 00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:26.355
  • Five is the number of grace.
  • 00:07:26.355 --> 00:07:27.757
  • Six, number of man.
  • 00:07:27.757 --> 00:07:29.091
  • Seven, number of completion, amen, praise god.
  • 00:07:29.091 --> 00:07:31.961
  • A number of perfection as well, praise god.
  • 00:07:31.961 --> 00:07:34.130
  • And numbers mean something.
  • 00:07:34.130 --> 00:07:36.566
  • When numbers are double, it means something.
  • 00:07:36.566 --> 00:07:38.734
  • And also when you look at a number like 18,
  • 00:07:38.734 --> 00:07:41.437
  • It's actually 6 plus 6 plus 6.
  • 00:07:41.437 --> 00:07:43.739
  • So it's the number of the antichrist.
  • 00:07:43.739 --> 00:07:46.742
  • You know that her being bowed down is not god's will.
  • 00:07:46.742 --> 00:07:50.713
  • Her being bowed down, in no way raising herself up
  • 00:07:50.713 --> 00:07:54.283
  • Is not something that god wants for her.
  • 00:07:54.283 --> 00:07:56.352
  • It's a spirit of the devil that's involved in this, amen?
  • 00:07:56.352 --> 00:08:00.823
  • So one thing we learn from this passage is very clear.
  • 00:08:00.823 --> 00:08:03.593
  • It's a spirit of infirmity.
  • 00:08:03.593 --> 00:08:05.127
  • So stop saying when someone has a disease and all that,
  • 00:08:05.127 --> 00:08:08.431
  • A condition, "oh, god is teaching you something."
  • 00:08:08.431 --> 00:08:10.132
  • Stop that.
  • 00:08:10.132 --> 00:08:11.467
  • It's easy to say that to others until you or your loved one
  • 00:08:11.467 --> 00:08:14.537
  • Becomes a victim of that.
  • 00:08:14.537 --> 00:08:16.505
  • Okay, friend, no.
  • 00:08:16.505 --> 00:08:17.974
  • Let's believe god, amen?
  • 00:08:17.974 --> 00:08:20.109
  • Okay, so back to this.
  • 00:08:20.109 --> 00:08:21.544
  • But god wants you healed, amen.
  • 00:08:21.544 --> 00:08:23.312
  • And notice the bible says that this woman was bowed down
  • 00:08:23.312 --> 00:08:25.681
  • The spirit of infirmity 18 years and could in no way
  • 00:08:25.681 --> 00:08:28.985
  • Raise herself up.
  • 00:08:28.985 --> 00:08:30.353
  • So she identified people with--by their toes.
  • 00:08:30.353 --> 00:08:32.989
  • "but when jesus saw her, he called her to him
  • 00:08:32.989 --> 00:08:35.157
  • And said to her, 'woman, you are loosed from your infirmity.'
  • 00:08:35.157 --> 00:08:39.128
  • And he laid his hands on her,
  • 00:08:39.128 --> 00:08:40.463
  • And immediately she was made straight, and glorified god.
  • 00:08:40.463 --> 00:08:43.799
  • But the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation,
  • 00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:46.335
  • Because jesus had healed on the sabbath;
  • 00:08:46.335 --> 00:08:48.771
  • And he said to the crowd,
  • 00:08:48.771 --> 00:08:50.172
  • 'there are six days on which men ought to work;
  • 00:08:50.172 --> 00:08:52.908
  • Therefore come and be healed on them,
  • 00:08:52.908 --> 00:08:55.244
  • And not on the sabbath day."'
  • 00:08:55.244 --> 00:08:57.113
  • All right, notice he dare not talk to jesus straight.
  • 00:08:57.113 --> 00:08:59.482
  • He said to the crowd.
  • 00:08:59.482 --> 00:09:02.418
  • He says that men ought to work--
  • 00:09:02.418 --> 00:09:05.321
  • Notice his mentality was what?
  • 00:09:05.321 --> 00:09:06.756
  • Men ought to work.
  • 00:09:06.756 --> 00:09:08.090
  • Notice where his ought is at.
  • 00:09:08.090 --> 00:09:09.659
  • His ought is on working.
  • 00:09:09.659 --> 00:09:11.560
  • Men ought to work.
  • 00:09:11.560 --> 00:09:12.928
  • Look at where jesus's ought is.
  • 00:09:12.928 --> 00:09:14.930
  • "the lord then answered him and said, 'hypocrite!
  • 00:09:14.930 --> 00:09:18.401
  • Does not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox
  • 00:09:18.401 --> 00:09:21.737
  • Or donkey from the stall, and lead it away to water it?
  • 00:09:21.737 --> 00:09:26.242
  • So ought not this woman, being a daughter of abraham,
  • 00:09:26.242 --> 00:09:31.614
  • Whom satan has bound, think of it,
  • 00:09:31.614 --> 00:09:33.749
  • For eighteen years,
  • 00:09:33.749 --> 00:09:35.184
  • Be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?'"
  • 00:09:35.184 --> 00:09:37.853
  • So jesus's ought is this.
  • 00:09:37.853 --> 00:09:39.522
  • Ought not this woman that satan has bound be loosed?
  • 00:09:39.522 --> 00:09:44.860
  • The mentality of the ruler of the synagogue
  • 00:09:44.927 --> 00:09:46.429
  • Because he had a law mentality is men ought to work.
  • 00:09:46.429 --> 00:09:50.399
  • Jesus ought is that woman ought to be loosed.
  • 00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:53.903
  • When the lord looks at you, he says you ought to be loosed,
  • 00:09:53.903 --> 00:09:56.539
  • You ought to be freed, you ought to be liberated.
  • 00:09:56.539 --> 00:09:59.775
  • Amen.
  • 00:09:59.775 --> 00:10:01.110
  • You ought to be healed.
  • 00:10:01.110 --> 00:10:02.645
  • How can you be a son of abraham, a daughter of abraham,
  • 00:10:02.645 --> 00:10:05.581
  • Remain in this bondage?
  • 00:10:05.581 --> 00:10:07.483
  • He says to you, woman, you are loosed.
  • 00:10:07.483 --> 00:10:10.319
  • Man, you are freed from your infirmity.
  • 00:10:10.319 --> 00:10:13.589
  • Hallelujah.
  • 00:10:13.589 --> 00:10:14.924
  • Thank you, jesus, amen?
  • 00:10:14.924 --> 00:10:16.659
  • "and when he said these things,
  • 00:10:16.659 --> 00:10:17.993
  • All his adversaries were put to shame;
  • 00:10:17.993 --> 00:10:19.328
  • And all the multitudes rejoiced for all the glorious things
  • 00:10:19.328 --> 00:10:21.630
  • That were done by him."
  • 00:10:21.630 --> 00:10:22.965
  • Look at verse 15 one more time.
  • 00:10:22.965 --> 00:10:24.533
  • Jesus talk about, "does not each one of you on the sabbath
  • 00:10:24.533 --> 00:10:27.570
  • Loose his ox or donkey--"
  • 00:10:27.570 --> 00:10:29.238
  • Keep that in mind, ox or donkey.
  • 00:10:29.238 --> 00:10:31.507
  • These two animals, keep that in mind.
  • 00:10:31.507 --> 00:10:33.309
  • "and lead it away to water it."
  • 00:10:33.309 --> 00:10:35.144
  • So watering your animals, and these animals here
  • 00:10:35.144 --> 00:10:39.715
  • Is a picture--many at times animals in the picture
  • 00:10:39.715 --> 00:10:41.884
  • Is a picture of you and i, amen?
  • 00:10:41.884 --> 00:10:45.855
  • Like an ox, "thou shalt not muzzle the ox,"
  • 00:10:45.855 --> 00:10:47.456
  • Talking about the minister that preaches
  • 00:10:47.456 --> 00:10:49.792
  • The gospel of jesus christ.
  • 00:10:49.792 --> 00:10:51.393
  • So ox and donkey are these two words--
  • 00:10:51.393 --> 00:10:54.463
  • Just keep that in mind first.
  • 00:10:54.463 --> 00:10:56.098
  • Notice healing is actually watering them,
  • 00:10:56.098 --> 00:10:59.835
  • And that's why in the book of leviticus
  • 00:10:59.835 --> 00:11:01.737
  • When it comes to leprosy water is used a lot
  • 00:11:01.737 --> 00:11:04.807
  • And we know it's not referring to natural water,
  • 00:11:04.807 --> 00:11:06.475
  • My friend.
  • 00:11:06.475 --> 00:11:07.810
  • So water, spiritually speaking, is the word of god.
  • 00:11:07.810 --> 00:11:11.247
  • The more of the word you receive--notice the ox
  • 00:11:11.247 --> 00:11:14.650
  • And donkey is thirsty and you bring them away to water it.
  • 00:11:14.650 --> 00:11:19.121
  • That's how you solve.
  • 00:11:19.121 --> 00:11:20.456
  • But he was talking about sickness and disease.
  • 00:11:20.456 --> 00:11:21.791
  • The context is talking about sickness and disease.
  • 00:11:21.791 --> 00:11:23.225
  • So in other words giving them water is healing the sick.
  • 00:11:23.225 --> 00:11:28.030
  • So water is a secret here.
  • 00:11:28.030 --> 00:11:29.999
  • In the next chapter, luke 14, jesus talks--
  • 00:11:29.999 --> 00:11:33.035
  • Jesus was in a synagogue invited by one
  • 00:11:33.035 --> 00:11:34.937
  • Of the rulers of--let's read that.
  • 00:11:34.937 --> 00:11:37.339
  • "now it happened, as he went into the house
  • 00:11:37.339 --> 00:11:39.074
  • Of one of the rulers of the pharisees
  • 00:11:39.074 --> 00:11:40.709
  • To eat bread on the sabbath, that they watched him closely.
  • 00:11:40.709 --> 00:11:44.780
  • And behold, there was a certain man before him who had dropsy."
  • 00:11:44.780 --> 00:11:47.583
  • Swelling all over his body, dropsy.
  • 00:11:47.583 --> 00:11:49.718
  • "and jesus, answering, spoke to the lawyers and pharisees,
  • 00:11:49.718 --> 00:11:53.022
  • Saying, 'is it lawful to heal on the sabbath?'
  • 00:11:53.022 --> 00:11:56.625
  • But they kept silent.
  • 00:11:56.625 --> 00:11:58.194
  • And he took the man and healed him, and let him go.
  • 00:11:58.194 --> 00:12:01.831
  • Then jesus answered them, saying, 'which of you,
  • 00:12:01.831 --> 00:12:04.300
  • Having a donkey or an ox--'" again, a donkey or an ox.
  • 00:12:04.300 --> 00:12:07.469
  • Just like the previous chapter in the case of the woman,
  • 00:12:07.469 --> 00:12:10.973
  • He talk about the donkey and an ox to water it.
  • 00:12:10.973 --> 00:12:13.142
  • But notice jesus's perspective of people that are sick.
  • 00:12:13.142 --> 00:12:17.413
  • Does he look at them saying,
  • 00:12:17.413 --> 00:12:18.814
  • "it's because of your sin that you are sick.
  • 00:12:18.814 --> 00:12:20.983
  • It's because you have not done this and this
  • 00:12:20.983 --> 00:12:22.384
  • And this that you are sick," amen?
  • 00:12:22.384 --> 00:12:24.620
  • "it's because of your rebellion that you are sick.
  • 00:12:24.620 --> 00:12:26.789
  • You deserve it."
  • 00:12:26.789 --> 00:12:28.123
  • Is that the mentality that jesus has?
  • 00:12:28.123 --> 00:12:29.758
  • Let's read.
  • 00:12:29.758 --> 00:12:31.493
  • "which of you," jesus says,
  • 00:12:31.493 --> 00:12:32.862
  • "having a donkey or an ox that has fallen into a pit--"
  • 00:12:32.862 --> 00:12:36.866
  • Jesus likened people who are sick
  • 00:12:36.866 --> 00:12:39.935
  • As just stumbling into a pit.
  • 00:12:39.935 --> 00:12:43.305
  • Usually when you fall into a pit,
  • 00:12:43.305 --> 00:12:44.640
  • You don't know the pit is there.
  • 00:12:44.640 --> 00:12:47.276
  • So the way jesus saw sick people are people,
  • 00:12:47.276 --> 00:12:49.645
  • They are sick today because they fell into a pit,
  • 00:12:49.645 --> 00:12:53.482
  • And the pit here is referring to a well.
  • 00:12:53.482 --> 00:12:55.251
  • It can be water--with water--filled with water
  • 00:12:55.251 --> 00:12:58.153
  • Or dry cistern like the one they threw joseph in.
  • 00:12:58.153 --> 00:13:02.892
  • In israel, that's what makes a pit.
  • 00:13:02.892 --> 00:13:05.861
  • And notice jesus says when someone falls into a pit,
  • 00:13:05.861 --> 00:13:08.430
  • They don't walk into a pit and they fall.
  • 00:13:08.430 --> 00:13:10.165
  • I know the experience because when i was in college i remember
  • 00:13:10.165 --> 00:13:13.569
  • One morning going to school and i did not know at the turn where
  • 00:13:13.569 --> 00:13:16.705
  • I'm supposed to make a turn the workers have removed the manhole
  • 00:13:16.705 --> 00:13:20.743
  • And they didn't cover it.
  • 00:13:20.743 --> 00:13:22.544
  • And i was looking ahead and i fell right into the manhole,
  • 00:13:22.544 --> 00:13:25.247
  • But i fell upright.
  • 00:13:25.247 --> 00:13:26.649
  • All i knew is that the whole world went up.
  • 00:13:26.649 --> 00:13:29.051
  • I scratched my leg and the teacher had to put some ointment
  • 00:13:29.051 --> 00:13:31.553
  • On it and all that, but i remember the experience.
  • 00:13:31.553 --> 00:13:34.390
  • I'm so glad i didn't fall, you know, on my face.
  • 00:13:34.390 --> 00:13:37.126
  • I fell straight.
  • 00:13:37.126 --> 00:13:38.761
  • So the experience is not good falling into a pit, all right?
  • 00:13:38.761 --> 00:13:42.965
  • So jesus look at people who are sick as people
  • 00:13:42.965 --> 00:13:45.367
  • Who fell into a pit.
  • 00:13:45.367 --> 00:13:46.735
  • But notice he used again these two animals, donkey or an ox.
  • 00:13:46.735 --> 00:13:50.039
  • Is there a divine hint there?
  • 00:13:50.039 --> 00:13:52.074
  • I believe there is,
  • 00:13:52.074 --> 00:13:53.409
  • And that's the wonderful thing about scripture.
  • 00:13:53.409 --> 00:13:55.077
  • You know, when you study scripture, every little word,
  • 00:13:55.077 --> 00:13:57.413
  • Every little nuance, every little hint, right, tells you
  • 00:13:57.413 --> 00:14:00.883
  • There's something greater that he wants you to study.
  • 00:14:00.883 --> 00:14:03.485
  • So not long ago, you know, the lord led me to a study of this
  • 00:14:03.485 --> 00:14:06.155
  • Donkey and ox, and if you look at the context here--by the way,
  • 00:14:06.155 --> 00:14:09.758
  • Jesus says, '"if a donkey or an ox fall into a pit,
  • 00:14:09.758 --> 00:14:12.628
  • Will you not immediately pull him out on the sabbath day?'
  • 00:14:12.628 --> 00:14:16.699
  • And they could not answer him regarding these things."
  • 00:14:16.699 --> 00:14:19.335
  • If you look at the scripture that we used last week,
  • 00:14:19.335 --> 00:14:22.972
  • Exodus 22, verse 9, let's look at that.
  • 00:14:22.972 --> 00:14:24.974
  • Remember talking about you must say--when you lost something
  • 00:14:24.974 --> 00:14:27.176
  • Or someone stole something from you, you must say,
  • 00:14:27.176 --> 00:14:28.744
  • "that thing is mine.
  • 00:14:28.744 --> 00:14:30.279
  • Health is mine.
  • 00:14:30.279 --> 00:14:32.081
  • Peace of mind is mine."
  • 00:14:32.081 --> 00:14:33.916
  • Amen?
  • 00:14:33.916 --> 00:14:35.317
  • "family well-being is mine."
  • 00:14:35.317 --> 00:14:36.885
  • Hallelujah.
  • 00:14:36.885 --> 00:14:38.220
  • You must say that.
  • 00:14:38.220 --> 00:14:39.655
  • "for every breach of trust, whether it is for an ox,
  • 00:14:39.655 --> 00:14:43.292
  • For a donkey--"
  • 00:14:43.292 --> 00:14:44.626
  • I wonder why these two leads the group, right?
  • 00:14:44.626 --> 00:14:47.363
  • Remember you must say, "this is it.
  • 00:14:47.363 --> 00:14:48.731
  • This is mine."
  • 00:14:48.731 --> 00:14:50.265
  • Now let's go to exodus 21, the chapter before this.
  • 00:14:50.265 --> 00:14:53.635
  • "and if a man opens a pit," like what they did in my case
  • 00:14:53.635 --> 00:14:57.539
  • When i walked to school,
  • 00:14:57.539 --> 00:14:59.375
  • "or if a man digs a pit and does not cover it,
  • 00:14:59.375 --> 00:15:02.811
  • And an ox or a donkey falls in it--"
  • 00:15:02.811 --> 00:15:06.215
  • Notice the ox and donkey falls into it.
  • 00:15:06.215 --> 00:15:07.716
  • Now stop here.
  • 00:15:07.716 --> 00:15:09.284
  • Do you think that when luke 14 just now when jesus talk about
  • 00:15:09.284 --> 00:15:13.088
  • The donkey--both in luke 13, the woman who was suffering
  • 00:15:13.088 --> 00:15:16.058
  • For 18 years, right, jesus talked about the ox
  • 00:15:16.058 --> 00:15:18.694
  • And the donkey led away to--for watering.
  • 00:15:18.694 --> 00:15:21.497
  • And in luke 14, the man who had a dropsy jesus healed him
  • 00:15:21.497 --> 00:15:24.767
  • And said that, you know, he's like an ox or a donkey
  • 00:15:24.767 --> 00:15:28.237
  • That fell into a pit.
  • 00:15:28.237 --> 00:15:30.205
  • If you have an ox or a donkey, he told the pharisees,
  • 00:15:30.205 --> 00:15:32.708
  • Will you not immediately pull him out?
  • 00:15:32.708 --> 00:15:36.345
  • Amen?
  • 00:15:36.345 --> 00:15:37.679
  • Instead of criticizing him, will you not pull him out?
  • 00:15:37.679 --> 00:15:39.648
  • To look to jesus.
  • 00:15:39.648 --> 00:15:40.983
  • Every need is for us to look to jesus and see him as the answer.
  • 00:15:40.983 --> 00:15:44.987
  • And what a wonderful answer.
  • 00:15:44.987 --> 00:15:46.755
  • What an indescribable answer, a lovely answer.
  • 00:15:46.755 --> 00:15:51.794
  • What a beautiful one, amen, our lord jesus.
  • 00:15:51.794 --> 00:15:54.263
  • You see his heart of compassion even for the sick.
  • 00:15:54.263 --> 00:15:56.598
  • Amen?
  • 00:15:56.598 --> 00:15:58.100
  • But notice his opposition came from people who knew the law,
  • 00:15:58.100 --> 00:16:01.370
  • People that--in fact, the desire to keep the sabbath
  • 00:16:01.370 --> 00:16:06.475
  • Is part of the ten commandments, isn't it?
  • 00:16:06.475 --> 00:16:08.677
  • Thou shalt--you shall remember the sabbath day
  • 00:16:08.677 --> 00:16:10.412
  • To keep it holy, right?
  • 00:16:10.412 --> 00:16:11.980
  • So when we study the--i'm showing you how to look
  • 00:16:11.980 --> 00:16:14.783
  • At the law in the--you see, people say that pastor prince
  • 00:16:14.783 --> 00:16:18.387
  • Don't teach from the old testament.
  • 00:16:18.387 --> 00:16:19.955
  • I teach a lot from the old testament,
  • 00:16:19.955 --> 00:16:21.690
  • But the old testament today is for us
  • 00:16:21.690 --> 00:16:23.425
  • To bring christ out of it.
  • 00:16:23.425 --> 00:16:25.727
  • The emmaus road, jesus--beginning at moses,
  • 00:16:25.727 --> 00:16:28.664
  • The first five books, right, and the prophets,
  • 00:16:28.664 --> 00:16:31.800
  • He began to expound in them things concerning himself.
  • 00:16:31.800 --> 00:16:37.206
  • So every verse, every character in the bible has a reference
  • 00:16:37.206 --> 00:16:42.478
  • To christ, to his work, or to his ministry.
  • 00:16:42.478 --> 00:16:45.814
  • And here i believe it's referring
  • 00:16:45.814 --> 00:16:47.282
  • To luke 14 and luke 13,
  • 00:16:47.282 --> 00:16:50.052
  • The two miracles of healing there because an ox
  • 00:16:50.052 --> 00:16:52.521
  • And donkey is mentioned about falling into a pit.
  • 00:16:52.521 --> 00:16:55.624
  • Very interesting, isn't it?
  • 00:16:55.624 --> 00:16:57.226
  • "the owner of the pit shall make it good."
  • 00:16:57.226 --> 00:16:58.894
  • Now, who is responsible?
  • 00:16:58.894 --> 00:17:00.229
  • The one who opened the pit or the one who had the pit
  • 00:17:00.229 --> 00:17:03.966
  • That's opened but didn't cover it.
  • 00:17:03.966 --> 00:17:05.501
  • He did not blame the one that fell in, he blamed the one who
  • 00:17:05.501 --> 00:17:08.670
  • Opened the pit and actually he's a--was a pharisee
  • 00:17:08.670 --> 00:17:11.673
  • That opened the pit, amen?
  • 00:17:11.673 --> 00:17:14.409
  • Remember jesus says that, "i am the good shepherd.
  • 00:17:14.409 --> 00:17:17.146
  • All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers."
  • 00:17:17.146 --> 00:17:20.115
  • He was referring to the pharisees, those who fight
  • 00:17:20.115 --> 00:17:22.618
  • For the law and disqualify people all the time
  • 00:17:22.618 --> 00:17:25.754
  • And it's always like letting them,
  • 00:17:25.754 --> 00:17:27.823
  • "you're not worthy to receive."
  • 00:17:27.823 --> 00:17:29.258
  • They might not say it outwardly, but they are saying,
  • 00:17:29.258 --> 00:17:31.493
  • "you're not clean enough to accept--to receive this.
  • 00:17:31.493 --> 00:17:33.829
  • You're not worthy enough to accept this.
  • 00:17:33.829 --> 00:17:35.397
  • It's because of your sin somewhere
  • 00:17:35.397 --> 00:17:37.166
  • That you're not receiving this."
  • 00:17:37.166 --> 00:17:39.401
  • I remember years ago someone in our church approached someone
  • 00:17:39.401 --> 00:17:42.905
  • Who lost their baby and said, "you know, god showed me
  • 00:17:42.905 --> 00:17:46.675
  • That you lost your baby because of some sin in your life."
  • 00:17:46.675 --> 00:17:50.379
  • Now, that is what we call phariseeism.
  • 00:17:50.379 --> 00:17:53.682
  • That is something that is so cruel if--had i been there,
  • 00:17:53.682 --> 00:17:56.952
  • I would have--praise the lord.
  • 00:17:56.952 --> 00:17:58.620
  • Thank you, jesus, i'm saved, i'm born again.
  • 00:17:58.620 --> 00:18:00.322
  • Hallelujah.
  • 00:18:00.322 --> 00:18:01.723
  • The love of god is shed abroad in my heart.
  • 00:18:01.723 --> 00:18:03.258
  • Now, i would not have tolerated that.
  • 00:18:03.258 --> 00:18:04.927
  • But that couple came back to one of our leaders and shared.
  • 00:18:04.927 --> 00:18:07.529
  • You know, you don't have to accept such nonsense, my friend.
  • 00:18:07.529 --> 00:18:10.199
  • Amen, amen.
  • 00:18:10.199 --> 00:18:11.934
  • If there is a need, jesus stands ready to meet it.
  • 00:18:11.934 --> 00:18:16.338
  • Hallelujah?
  • 00:18:16.338 --> 00:18:17.673
  • Now, go to exodus 23 now.
  • 00:18:17.673 --> 00:18:20.175
  • So we've covered 22, 21, now 23.
  • 00:18:20.175 --> 00:18:23.278
  • Now before we go to 23, go back to 21 again.
  • 00:18:23.278 --> 00:18:25.380
  • There's something very interesting.
  • 00:18:25.380 --> 00:18:26.782
  • Like i said, you know, when you read your bible even at home,
  • 00:18:26.782 --> 00:18:29.952
  • If you come to the passage of the law,
  • 00:18:29.952 --> 00:18:31.887
  • There's a lot of things in the law
  • 00:18:31.887 --> 00:18:33.589
  • That elucidate on jesus and his beauty.
  • 00:18:33.589 --> 00:18:36.992
  • Here i'm going to show you that these--even these verses
  • 00:18:36.992 --> 00:18:39.328
  • Refer to jesus's ministry.
  • 00:18:39.328 --> 00:18:40.929
  • Look at the verse before this verse 33, verse 32.
  • 00:18:40.929 --> 00:18:45.634
  • If the ox--if an ox--okay, "if the ox gores a male
  • 00:18:45.634 --> 00:18:49.905
  • Or female servant,
  • 00:18:49.905 --> 00:18:52.608
  • He shall give to their master thirty shekels--"
  • 00:18:52.608 --> 00:18:55.944
  • The owner of the ox will give to their master
  • 00:18:55.944 --> 00:18:59.081
  • 30 shekels of silver and the ox shall be stoned.
  • 00:18:59.081 --> 00:19:03.118
  • Thirty shekels of silver.
  • 00:19:03.118 --> 00:19:04.686
  • Does that remind you of something?
  • 00:19:04.686 --> 00:19:06.755
  • Yes.
  • 00:19:06.755 --> 00:19:08.523
  • Jesus was betrayed for 30 pieces of silver.
  • 00:19:08.523 --> 00:19:13.762
  • Amen?
  • 00:19:13.762 --> 00:19:15.097
  • Same here, 30 shekels of silver.
  • 00:19:15.097 --> 00:19:16.431
  • So it's an allusion to jesus.
  • 00:19:16.431 --> 00:19:18.700
  • This entire--all these verses are pointing
  • 00:19:18.700 --> 00:19:21.136
  • To our lord jesus christ, and jesus--so it's a price.
  • 00:19:21.136 --> 00:19:25.173
  • Thirty piece of silver is the price of a male servant
  • 00:19:25.173 --> 00:19:27.709
  • Or a female servant.
  • 00:19:27.709 --> 00:19:29.544
  • As you can see, if an ox gores a male servant,
  • 00:19:29.544 --> 00:19:32.147
  • Then the one who owns the ox must pay
  • 00:19:32.147 --> 00:19:34.983
  • To the master of the servant 30 shekels of silver, right?
  • 00:19:34.983 --> 00:19:39.187
  • So jesus came as a servant, and this is one beautiful aspect
  • 00:19:39.187 --> 00:19:42.491
  • Of our lord jesus.
  • 00:19:42.491 --> 00:19:43.925
  • If you look carefully-- this is exodus 21.
  • 00:19:43.925 --> 00:19:47.162
  • Exodus 21 is right after exodus 20 where god
  • 00:19:47.162 --> 00:19:50.632
  • Gave the ten commandments for the very first time.
  • 00:19:50.632 --> 00:19:54.002
  • And you know what's the very first verse of exodus 21?
  • 00:19:54.002 --> 00:19:57.506
  • It says these are the statutes that you are to observe.
  • 00:19:57.506 --> 00:20:02.444
  • The very first statute, he talks about a hebrew servant.
  • 00:20:02.444 --> 00:20:06.181
  • If a hebrew servant has been serving you for 6 years,
  • 00:20:06.181 --> 00:20:10.519
  • The 7th year you are to let him go free.
  • 00:20:10.519 --> 00:20:14.389
  • Now, if you gave him a wife during his time with you, okay,
  • 00:20:14.389 --> 00:20:19.628
  • Then he will go free but his wife and his children
  • 00:20:19.628 --> 00:20:22.664
  • Will remain behind.
  • 00:20:22.664 --> 00:20:24.099
  • But if he says, "i don't want to leave--"
  • 00:20:24.099 --> 00:20:27.102
  • You know, in fact, he says this, and the words are there.
  • 00:20:27.102 --> 00:20:29.638
  • "i love my master."
  • 00:20:29.638 --> 00:20:31.106
  • So he's a good master.
  • 00:20:31.106 --> 00:20:32.674
  • "i love my wife. i love my children.
  • 00:20:32.674 --> 00:20:34.209
  • I will not go out free."
  • 00:20:34.209 --> 00:20:36.011
  • Then the master will bring the male servant to the doorpost
  • 00:20:36.011 --> 00:20:40.782
  • And then pierce his ear.
  • 00:20:40.782 --> 00:20:43.618
  • Now, this phrase pierce his ear is used in psalms where it says,
  • 00:20:43.618 --> 00:20:47.889
  • "in the volume of the book it's written of me,
  • 00:20:47.889 --> 00:20:51.026
  • My ear has thou daqar, my ear has thou pierce,"
  • 00:20:51.026 --> 00:20:54.529
  • In the hebrew.
  • 00:20:54.529 --> 00:20:55.931
  • And that is translated or referred to in the book
  • 00:20:55.931 --> 00:20:59.835
  • Of hebrews where it says in hebrews 10,
  • 00:20:59.835 --> 00:21:02.838
  • "a body has thou prepared for me.
  • 00:21:02.838 --> 00:21:06.208
  • A ear pierced is like a body has thou prepared me."
  • 00:21:06.208 --> 00:21:08.744
  • It's used--and you look at marginal rendering,
  • 00:21:08.744 --> 00:21:10.579
  • It's referring to the ear pierced of a servant.
  • 00:21:10.579 --> 00:21:14.483
  • So if the man says, "i love my master,
  • 00:21:14.483 --> 00:21:17.152
  • I love my wife, i love my children,
  • 00:21:17.152 --> 00:21:18.587
  • I don't want to go out free," you bring him to the door
  • 00:21:18.587 --> 00:21:20.589
  • And you pierce his ear.
  • 00:21:20.589 --> 00:21:22.391
  • So jesus was pierced.
  • 00:21:22.391 --> 00:21:23.792
  • Why?
  • 00:21:23.792 --> 00:21:25.127
  • Because jesus came as a servant.
  • 00:21:25.127 --> 00:21:27.062
  • Amen?
  • 00:21:27.062 --> 00:21:28.397
  • He came to serve.
  • 00:21:28.397 --> 00:21:29.798
  • Remember he says the son of man came not to be served
  • 00:21:29.798 --> 00:21:32.634
  • But to serve, to serve healing; to serve peace, god's goodness,
  • 00:21:32.634 --> 00:21:38.607
  • God's shalom, amen, god's reconciliation, amen,
  • 00:21:38.607 --> 00:21:43.111
  • God's grace, god's blessings, amen.
  • 00:21:43.111 --> 00:21:46.181
  • The true bread for your hungry soul he serves you, amen.
  • 00:21:46.181 --> 00:21:50.152
  • And he says, "i came not to be served but to serve," amen.
  • 00:21:50.152 --> 00:21:55.323
  • And the gospel that brings this out is the gospel of mark.
  • 00:21:55.323 --> 00:21:58.493
  • It opens up with--that's why there's no genealogy in mark
  • 00:21:58.493 --> 00:22:01.396
  • Because you don't ask the pedigree of a servant.
  • 00:22:01.396 --> 00:22:03.932
  • He came there as a divine servant in mark and immediately
  • 00:22:03.932 --> 00:22:06.368
  • He says straight away he did this, immediately he did this,
  • 00:22:06.368 --> 00:22:09.104
  • Straight away he did this, straight away he did this,
  • 00:22:09.104 --> 00:22:10.939
  • And immediately he did this.
  • 00:22:10.939 --> 00:22:12.474
  • A servant that's working tirelessly.
  • 00:22:12.474 --> 00:22:15.977
  • Amen.
  • 00:22:15.977 --> 00:22:17.813
  • So jesus is that servant.
  • 00:22:17.813 --> 00:22:20.015
  • Amen?
  • 00:22:20.015 --> 00:22:21.416
  • And isn't it amazing right after the ten commandments is given
  • 00:22:21.416 --> 00:22:24.352
  • It talks about the divine servant?
  • 00:22:24.352 --> 00:22:26.154
  • In other words, the answer is not in the ten commandments.
  • 00:22:26.154 --> 00:22:28.890
  • It's in the divine servant, amen, that came not to be served
  • 00:22:28.890 --> 00:22:32.928
  • But came to serve.
  • 00:22:32.928 --> 00:22:34.763
  • And do you know that even in heaven he says
  • 00:22:34.763 --> 00:22:37.432
  • He will still gird himself, make you all sit down,
  • 00:22:37.432 --> 00:22:40.068
  • And serve you?
  • 00:22:40.068 --> 00:22:41.803
  • That's amazing, amen?
  • 00:22:41.803 --> 00:22:44.473
  • The lord loves to serve you.
  • 00:22:44.473 --> 00:22:46.074
  • You see, martha wanted to serve him and got rebuked, amen,
  • 00:22:46.074 --> 00:22:50.245
  • Because of her worries and fears and cares in serving,
  • 00:22:50.245 --> 00:22:53.081
  • But mary allowed jesus to serve her, amen, a banquet, a feast.
  • 00:22:53.081 --> 00:23:00.055
  • He allowed him to serve her.
  • 00:23:00.055 --> 00:23:01.923
  • Now, which sister made jesus feel like god?
  • 00:23:01.923 --> 00:23:04.159
  • Jesus says what mary did will not be taken away from her.
  • 00:23:04.159 --> 00:23:08.029
  • Mary has chosen the good part, and one thing is needful.
  • 00:23:08.029 --> 00:23:13.735
  • Allow yourself to receive when jesus serves.
  • 00:23:13.735 --> 00:23:19.608
  • Amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen.
  • 00:23:19.608 --> 00:23:22.844
  • Announcer: pastor joseph prince will return in a moment
  • 00:23:24.145 --> 00:23:26.448
  • With a special prayer to close today's program
  • 00:23:26.448 --> 00:23:28.350
