Joseph Prince | Joseph Prince - His One Mission: Die For Your Sins | December 22, 2025

...
00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:01.311
Joseph prince: the bible tells us very clearly
00:00:12.889 --> 00:00:14.858
That "god so loved the world
00:00:14.858 --> 00:00:16.993
That he gave his only begotten son."
00:00:16.993 --> 00:00:19.529
And love always gives,
00:00:19.529 --> 00:00:21.564
And the greatest gift that god gave us is his son.
00:00:21.564 --> 00:00:24.834
So during this christmastime, amen,
00:00:24.834 --> 00:00:27.370
As we remember our lord jesus,
00:00:27.370 --> 00:00:29.205
And we remember that the purpose for him in coming to this earth
00:00:29.205 --> 00:00:34.377
Is to die for our sins.
00:00:34.377 --> 00:00:36.479
Because god loved you. god loved me.
00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:39.749
In fact, the bible, i love that little word
00:00:39.749 --> 00:00:42.085
That speaks of intensity.
00:00:42.085 --> 00:00:44.854
"for god so loved the world," that speaks of intensity.
00:00:44.854 --> 00:00:48.224
"god so loved you that he gave his only begotten son,
00:00:48.224 --> 00:00:52.495
That whoever believes in him," if you believe in him,
00:00:52.495 --> 00:00:55.665
"you will not perish
00:00:55.665 --> 00:00:57.367
But you will have everlasting life."
00:00:57.367 --> 00:01:00.870
Male announcer: blessed christmas
00:01:00.937 --> 00:01:02.272
From our ministry to your family.
00:01:02.272 --> 00:01:03.973
This week, let's slow down and enjoy the peace
00:01:03.973 --> 00:01:06.843
Jesus came to bring.
00:01:06.843 --> 00:01:08.444
In today's message, joseph shows us
00:01:08.444 --> 00:01:10.480
The real reason for the season,
00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:12.415
And how god gave us the greatest gift of all, his son.
00:01:12.415 --> 00:01:16.152
Announcer: this week let's slow down
00:01:16.219 --> 00:01:18.721
And enjoy the peace jesus came to bring.

Announcer: and now, here's pastor joseph prince
00:01:37.707 --> 00:01:39.909
With today's program.
00:01:39.909 --> 00:01:41.344
Joseph prince: i wish you that you experience the best
00:01:41.344 --> 00:01:44.147
That god has this christmas.
00:01:44.147 --> 00:01:46.783
And the best that he has is the lord jesus christ.
00:01:46.783 --> 00:01:50.553
Let jesus happen to you.
00:01:50.553 --> 00:01:52.989
That's the reason for christmas.
00:01:52.989 --> 00:01:54.891
It is not all these, you know, bright lights
00:01:54.891 --> 00:01:58.294
And shopping and getting presents.
00:01:58.294 --> 00:02:01.264
You know, in some countries that i go to for holidays
00:02:01.264 --> 00:02:04.434
During the christmas season,
00:02:04.434 --> 00:02:06.302
They really celebrate christmas with lights
00:02:06.302 --> 00:02:09.072
And even the christmas carols.
00:02:09.072 --> 00:02:12.141
But the purpose of christmas has been forgotten.
00:02:12.141 --> 00:02:16.980
For most people, it's a time to make money.
00:02:16.980 --> 00:02:19.482
It's a time to, you know, take advantage of the season
00:02:19.482 --> 00:02:22.885
So that people will spend more.
00:02:22.885 --> 00:02:25.355
But friend, we need to remember that the whole purpose
00:02:25.355 --> 00:02:27.991
Of christmas is that god is loving you
00:02:27.991 --> 00:02:31.394
By sending his son, jesus christ,
00:02:31.394 --> 00:02:33.896
Who came as a baby on that christmas night.
00:02:33.896 --> 00:02:37.634
So let's start off by reading from our christmas portion
00:02:37.634 --> 00:02:40.870
Of scripture from the bible.
00:02:40.870 --> 00:02:42.739
Luke chapter 2, verse 6:
00:02:42.739 --> 00:02:44.507
"so it was, that while they were there,"
00:02:44.507 --> 00:02:46.909
Joseph and mary,
00:02:46.909 --> 00:02:48.811
"the days were completed for her to be delivered.
00:02:48.811 --> 00:02:52.715
And she brought forth her firstborn son,
00:02:52.715 --> 00:02:55.551
And wrapped him in swaddling cloths,
00:02:55.551 --> 00:02:59.355
And laid him in a manger,
00:02:59.355 --> 00:03:01.924
Because there was no room for them in the inn."
00:03:01.924 --> 00:03:05.695
She brought forth her son.
00:03:05.695 --> 00:03:08.598
"her firstborn son," the bible says,
00:03:08.598 --> 00:03:10.366
"our lord jesus."
00:03:10.366 --> 00:03:11.901
Isn't that beautiful?
00:03:11.901 --> 00:03:13.403
That he was born at the right time.
00:03:13.403 --> 00:03:15.972
The bible says when the fullness of time was come,
00:03:15.972 --> 00:03:19.976
God sent forth his son made of a woman,
00:03:19.976 --> 00:03:23.579
Made under the law, to redeem them
00:03:23.579 --> 00:03:26.316
Who were under the law, that we might receive sonship.
00:03:26.316 --> 00:03:30.787
Adoption of sons there is one word in greek: sonship.
00:03:30.787 --> 00:03:34.624
The son of god became the son of man.
00:03:34.624 --> 00:03:39.128
That we, the sons of men,
00:03:39.128 --> 00:03:41.898
Might become the sons of god, hallelujah.
00:03:41.898 --> 00:03:46.135
That's what christmas is all about.
00:03:46.135 --> 00:03:47.970
He wasn't born, all right, for the purpose
00:03:47.970 --> 00:03:50.840
Of just being born into this world.
00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:52.575
He was born to die.
00:03:52.575 --> 00:03:54.444
That was the purpose that god had for his love plan for man.
00:03:54.444 --> 00:03:59.248
Ever since man's sin, for the very first sin,
00:03:59.248 --> 00:04:03.052
When adam sinned, he brought sin into humanity
00:04:03.052 --> 00:04:06.189
And sin has been transferred down through the generations
00:04:06.189 --> 00:04:08.758
In the bloodstream.
00:04:08.758 --> 00:04:10.593
But jesus was born of a virgin.
00:04:10.593 --> 00:04:13.296
And now, it wasn't too long ago, we understand scientifically
00:04:13.296 --> 00:04:17.100
That the fetus does not receive the mother's blood
00:04:17.100 --> 00:04:22.638
Through the placenta.
00:04:22.638 --> 00:04:24.207
The fetus only receives nourishment from the mother,
00:04:24.207 --> 00:04:28.077
But not the blood.
00:04:28.077 --> 00:04:29.712
Not a single drop of the blood of the mother
00:04:29.712 --> 00:04:32.949
Goes into the fetus.
00:04:32.949 --> 00:04:34.951
This is amazing because mary is sinful
00:04:34.951 --> 00:04:37.520
Just like any other person.
00:04:37.520 --> 00:04:39.322
All have sinned and come short of the glory of god.
00:04:39.322 --> 00:04:42.258
She's a wonderful lady, but nonetheless,
00:04:42.258 --> 00:04:44.394
She has sin in her blood.
00:04:44.394 --> 00:04:46.195
And she cannot transfer that into the baby she's carrying.
00:04:46.195 --> 00:04:50.233
Therefore, the bible says
00:04:50.233 --> 00:04:52.235
That jesus was born of a virgin, amen.
00:04:52.235 --> 00:04:55.438
The father put jesus in the virgin's womb, hallelujah.
00:04:55.438 --> 00:05:01.377
And there, he received the supply from the mother
00:05:01.377 --> 00:05:04.647
But not the blood.
00:05:04.647 --> 00:05:06.048
The blood in jesus's veins, in emmanuel's veins,
00:05:06.048 --> 00:05:08.885
Is all from god the father, amen.
00:05:08.885 --> 00:05:11.954
And that blood was in him to be shed at the cross.
00:05:11.954 --> 00:05:16.626
Why?
00:05:16.626 --> 00:05:17.960
Because the bible says,
00:05:17.960 --> 00:05:19.295
"for the life of the flesh is in the blood."
00:05:19.295 --> 00:05:21.097
And god has given the blood to make an atonement
00:05:21.097 --> 00:05:23.800
For your souls.
00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:25.268
Only the blood can wash away our sins.
00:05:25.268 --> 00:05:28.004
And it cannot be sinful blood washing away sinful blood.
00:05:28.004 --> 00:05:31.374
My blood cannot wash away your sinful blood, amen?
00:05:31.374 --> 00:05:35.545
It must be the royal sinless blood of god himself
00:05:35.545 --> 00:05:42.118
Incarnate in human flesh.
00:05:42.118 --> 00:05:44.387
The reason he became a baby, all right,
00:05:44.387 --> 00:05:46.289
Is because he had to take on human form
00:05:46.289 --> 00:05:49.125
To die on the cross, to shed his blood.
00:05:49.125 --> 00:05:51.961
So his death wasn't an accident.
00:05:51.961 --> 00:05:55.531
It wasn't the murder of jesus like some people call it.
00:05:55.531 --> 00:05:58.935
No, jesus came to die.
00:05:58.935 --> 00:06:01.270
In fact, before the time, you know,
00:06:01.270 --> 00:06:03.105
No one could arrest him.
00:06:03.105 --> 00:06:04.941
No one could stop him.
00:06:04.941 --> 00:06:06.509
No one could stand in his way.
00:06:06.509 --> 00:06:09.512
You know, no one could kill him, in fact.
00:06:09.512 --> 00:06:11.447
In fact, there was more than one instance
00:06:11.447 --> 00:06:12.815
Where the people tried to kill him at one time
00:06:12.815 --> 00:06:15.351
In his hometown, nazareth.
00:06:15.351 --> 00:06:16.853
They tried to push him off the cliff.
00:06:16.853 --> 00:06:18.721
The bible says he walked right through the midst of them.
00:06:18.721 --> 00:06:21.891
Another time, they picked up rocks.
00:06:21.891 --> 00:06:23.593
In those days, the jewish capital punishment is stoning.
00:06:23.593 --> 00:06:28.231
And they took up rocks to stone him.
00:06:28.231 --> 00:06:30.399
They claimed that he was blasphemous.
00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:32.668
But he walked right in the midst of them.
00:06:32.668 --> 00:06:34.971
So death cannot touch him.
00:06:34.971 --> 00:06:36.506
Why?
00:06:36.506 --> 00:06:37.840
Because death came because of sin.
00:06:37.840 --> 00:06:39.375
But because jesus had no sin, hallelujah,
00:06:39.375 --> 00:06:42.778
There's no sin in his blood.
00:06:42.778 --> 00:06:44.447
There's no sin in him.
00:06:44.447 --> 00:06:46.883
The bible says he knew no sin, he did no sin.
00:06:46.883 --> 00:06:50.253
In him is no sin.
00:06:50.253 --> 00:06:52.121
And yet he died on the cross like he's the worst sinner.
00:06:52.121 --> 00:06:55.591
Why?
00:06:55.591 --> 00:06:56.959
No, he's there in your place, he's there in my place,
00:06:56.959 --> 00:07:00.229
So that his blood can be shed
00:07:00.229 --> 00:07:02.231
To wash away our sins, hallelujah.
00:07:02.231 --> 00:07:05.368
For god has given the blood to make an atonement
00:07:05.368 --> 00:07:07.503
For souls, amen.
00:07:07.503 --> 00:07:09.405
And that's why when jesus appeared at the age of 30
00:07:09.405 --> 00:07:12.141
At the river jordan, john the baptist said,
00:07:12.141 --> 00:07:14.844
"behold, the lamb of god who takes away."
00:07:14.844 --> 00:07:18.648
I love that.
00:07:18.648 --> 00:07:19.982
Not cover.
00:07:19.982 --> 00:07:21.317
You see, the blood of the lambs that were shed
00:07:21.317 --> 00:07:24.654
In the old testament would cover sins for another year.
00:07:24.654 --> 00:07:29.158
It would cover sins for another year.
00:07:29.158 --> 00:07:31.527
But it is not the real payment.
00:07:31.527 --> 00:07:33.896
Until the true lamb of god came and john the baptist
00:07:33.896 --> 00:07:37.066
Was used by god to point him out.
00:07:37.066 --> 00:07:39.936
What a privilege.
00:07:39.936 --> 00:07:41.470
"behold, the lamb of god who takes away--"
00:07:41.470 --> 00:07:44.440
This time it's not covered, people.
00:07:44.440 --> 00:07:46.542
It's taking away.
00:07:46.542 --> 00:07:48.044
Covered is the word "atone."
00:07:48.044 --> 00:07:50.046
Atoning for sins.
00:07:50.046 --> 00:07:51.581
But this time, the blood of jesus christ
00:07:51.581 --> 00:07:53.883
Will take away sins.
00:07:53.883 --> 00:07:55.851
"behold, the lamb of god who takes away
00:07:55.851 --> 00:07:57.787
The sin of the world," hallelujah.
00:07:57.787 --> 00:08:00.990
And that's why he came in human flesh.
00:08:00.990 --> 00:08:04.193
Notice the bible says that when he was born,
00:08:04.193 --> 00:08:07.597
The mother wrapped him in swaddling clothes
00:08:07.597 --> 00:08:11.200
And laid him in a manger.
00:08:11.200 --> 00:08:14.003
Now, a lot of people have this idea that, you know,
00:08:14.003 --> 00:08:15.905
The christmas scenes that we see,
00:08:15.905 --> 00:08:17.373
The manger, you know, with our western perspective,
00:08:17.373 --> 00:08:20.443
You know, it's like a barn, you know, a wooden barn.
00:08:20.443 --> 00:08:23.613
But actually, it was more of a cave.
00:08:23.613 --> 00:08:25.581
And he wasn't born in a manger.
00:08:25.581 --> 00:08:29.585
He was laid in a manger.
00:08:29.585 --> 00:08:31.787
The manger is not the barn, it's not the cave
00:08:31.787 --> 00:08:34.790
During jesus's time.
00:08:34.790 --> 00:08:36.225
It is actually a rock-hewn kind of feeding trough,
00:08:36.225 --> 00:08:41.664
Carved from the rock.
00:08:41.664 --> 00:08:43.065
We have a picture here from israel.
00:08:43.065 --> 00:08:44.834
And this is an ancient feeding trough.
00:08:44.834 --> 00:08:47.103
This is the manger where jesus was laid.
00:08:47.103 --> 00:08:50.339
It's a rocky manger and they will put, you know,
00:08:50.339 --> 00:08:54.877
Hay and dried grass there so that the animals
00:08:54.877 --> 00:09:00.182
Can feed from the manger.
00:09:00.182 --> 00:09:02.785
So the very fact that jesus was laid here is a picture
00:09:02.785 --> 00:09:07.289
That he came to die.
00:09:07.289 --> 00:09:09.959
Because if you look at the picture of this manger,
00:09:09.959 --> 00:09:13.095
This stone manger,
00:09:13.095 --> 00:09:15.564
You will see that if you visit the tomb of jesus in israel,
00:09:15.564 --> 00:09:20.102
There you will find it's empty, hallelujah.
00:09:20.102 --> 00:09:22.772
And notice the similarity, amen.
00:09:22.772 --> 00:09:26.275
It's also like a manger.
00:09:26.275 --> 00:09:28.277
He was born and he was wrapped in swaddling cloths
00:09:28.277 --> 00:09:30.613
And laid in a manger.
00:09:30.613 --> 00:09:32.314
That's where he was laid.
00:09:32.314 --> 00:09:34.016
And folks, it's a picture that this baby has come to die.
00:09:34.016 --> 00:09:38.320
This is the lamb of god, the true lamb of god,
00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:40.489
Who will take away our sins.
00:09:40.489 --> 00:09:42.425
You see, friends, all the troubles in your life,
00:09:42.425 --> 00:09:44.593
All the depression that you feel,
00:09:44.593 --> 00:09:46.762
All the heartache, the feelings of, you know,
00:09:46.762 --> 00:09:50.332
Anger and resentment and all this selfishness
00:09:50.332 --> 00:09:53.803
That you see in the world is a result of sin.
00:09:53.803 --> 00:09:57.106
And sin brings forth that fear of death.
00:09:57.106 --> 00:10:00.409
So one of the reasons that jesus died is to conquer death.
00:10:00.409 --> 00:10:06.315
His death destroyed death, hallelujah.
00:10:06.315 --> 00:10:09.285
And he rose from the dead on the third day.
00:10:09.285 --> 00:10:12.321
Jesus conquered death for you and me.
00:10:12.321 --> 00:10:14.890
So this fear of death has brought man into slavery,
00:10:14.890 --> 00:10:20.096
Into bondage, through fear of death.
00:10:20.096 --> 00:10:22.898
All their lifetime, they are afraid
00:10:22.898 --> 00:10:25.034
Of doing certain things because of the fear of death.
00:10:25.034 --> 00:10:27.336
Friend, the bible tells us very clearly
00:10:27.336 --> 00:10:29.405
That "god so loved the world
00:10:29.405 --> 00:10:31.574
That he gave his only begotten son."
00:10:31.574 --> 00:10:34.243
And love always gives.
00:10:34.243 --> 00:10:36.212
And the greatest gift that god gave us is his son.
00:10:36.212 --> 00:10:39.615
So during this christmastime, amen,
00:10:39.615 --> 00:10:42.218
As we remember our lord jesus,
00:10:42.218 --> 00:10:44.553
We think of that babe lying in the manger
00:10:44.553 --> 00:10:48.324
And we remember that the purpose for him in coming to this earth
00:10:48.324 --> 00:10:53.529
Is to die for our sins.
00:10:53.529 --> 00:10:55.798
Why?
00:10:55.798 --> 00:10:57.133
Because god loved you.
00:10:57.133 --> 00:10:58.567
God loved me.
00:10:58.567 --> 00:10:59.902
In fact, the bible, i love that little word
00:10:59.902 --> 00:11:02.104
That speaks of intensity.
00:11:02.104 --> 00:11:05.141
Jesus himself spoke these words, john 3:16:
00:11:05.141 --> 00:11:08.511
"for god so loved the world."
00:11:08.511 --> 00:11:10.746
"so," that speaks of intensity.
00:11:10.746 --> 00:11:13.382
"god so loved you that he gave his only begotten son,
00:11:13.382 --> 00:11:17.586
That whoever believes in him," if you believe in him,
00:11:17.586 --> 00:11:20.756
"you will not perish
00:11:20.756 --> 00:11:22.458
But you will have everlasting life," hallelujah.
00:11:22.458 --> 00:11:27.730
Praise the lord.
00:11:27.730 --> 00:11:29.064
But ever since adam sinned, adam believed the devil talk
00:11:29.064 --> 00:11:32.902
Compared to god talk, amen.
00:11:32.902 --> 00:11:34.804
And obeyed the devil instead of god.
00:11:34.804 --> 00:11:39.241
You see, god said, the day that you sin--in the hebrew,
00:11:39.241 --> 00:11:43.546
It says like this, "dying you shall die."
00:11:43.546 --> 00:11:46.782
You die spiritually, cut off from god,
00:11:46.782 --> 00:11:49.318
And then you will die in the future physically.
00:11:49.318 --> 00:11:53.556
Dying you shall die.
00:11:53.556 --> 00:11:55.024
So that's how death came in.
00:11:55.024 --> 00:11:56.458
The bible says: "the wages of sin is death."
00:11:56.458 --> 00:11:58.561
But i thank god it goes on to say:
00:11:58.561 --> 00:12:00.329
"but the gift of god is eternal life
00:12:00.329 --> 00:12:04.033
Through jesus christ our lord," amen.
00:12:04.033 --> 00:12:07.670
Praise the lord.
00:12:07.670 --> 00:12:09.004
So god never meant for man to die.
00:12:09.004 --> 00:12:10.539
God considers death and disease all as an enemy.
00:12:10.539 --> 00:12:14.376
The bible says clearly the last enemy
00:12:14.376 --> 00:12:16.579
That will be put under jesus's feet is death,
00:12:16.579 --> 00:12:19.114
Hallelujah.
00:12:19.114 --> 00:12:20.716
Physical death.
00:12:20.716 --> 00:12:22.051
Jesus has conquered death already
00:12:22.051 --> 00:12:23.686
And we are looking forward for his coming.
00:12:23.686 --> 00:12:25.321
And he is coming back, folks, praise the lord.
00:12:25.321 --> 00:12:27.456
God is saying the whole earth is travailing
00:12:27.456 --> 00:12:30.159
And the devil is working harder in these last days
00:12:30.159 --> 00:12:33.229
Because the devil know his time is short.
00:12:33.229 --> 00:12:37.032
And the bible says all these are signs
00:12:37.032 --> 00:12:38.567
That jesus is coming back.
00:12:38.567 --> 00:12:40.236
When jesus comes back, friend,
00:12:40.236 --> 00:12:41.804
You will receive a brand-new body.
00:12:41.804 --> 00:12:43.739
If you believe on him, you believe what he did
00:12:43.739 --> 00:12:45.908
At the cross,
00:12:45.908 --> 00:12:47.243
You believe that his blood cleanses you
00:12:47.243 --> 00:12:48.577
From every sin, when jesus comes again,
00:12:48.577 --> 00:12:50.980
You receive a brand-new body, amen.
00:12:50.980 --> 00:12:53.048
A body that is incorruptible, a body that is not subject
00:12:53.048 --> 00:12:56.185
To sin or to disease or to death ever again.
00:12:56.185 --> 00:13:00.856
Praise the lord.
00:13:00.856 --> 00:13:02.191
You will live perpetually in that young,
00:13:02.191 --> 00:13:05.027
In that powerful, in that strong,
00:13:05.027 --> 00:13:07.830
In that immortal body.
00:13:07.830 --> 00:13:10.566
Immortality will be a reality when jesus comes again.
00:13:10.566 --> 00:13:15.404
Praise the lord.
00:13:15.404 --> 00:13:16.739
The bible says he will transform our vile bodies
00:13:16.739 --> 00:13:20.409
Like his glorious body, hallelujah.
00:13:20.409 --> 00:13:22.845
I'm looking forward to that.
00:13:22.845 --> 00:13:24.446
The bible says in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, amen,
00:13:24.446 --> 00:13:28.050
We shall be transformed.
00:13:28.050 --> 00:13:29.718
We won't even see death.
00:13:29.718 --> 00:13:31.453
Where was the price paid to conquer death?
00:13:31.453 --> 00:13:33.822
At the cross.
00:13:33.822 --> 00:13:35.257
At the cross, jesus hung there for you and i.
00:13:35.257 --> 00:13:37.927
At the cross, he conquered the devil
00:13:37.927 --> 00:13:42.431
Because he had no sin, he did no sin.
00:13:42.431 --> 00:13:45.634
In him is no sin.
00:13:45.634 --> 00:13:47.436
Therefore he is the only perfect substitute.
00:13:47.436 --> 00:13:50.039
The lamb of god, the perfect lamb,
00:13:50.039 --> 00:13:52.474
Of which all the other lambs
00:13:52.474 --> 00:13:53.976
In the old testament was pointing to.
00:13:53.976 --> 00:13:55.844
The lamb sacrificed.
00:13:55.844 --> 00:13:57.413
He is the final and the true lamb of god
00:13:57.413 --> 00:14:00.349
That takes away the sin of the world.
00:14:00.349 --> 00:14:02.217
So on that cross, he carried your sins and he bore my sins
00:14:02.217 --> 00:14:06.288
In his own body on the tree.
00:14:06.288 --> 00:14:08.123
And the bible says not only that,
00:14:08.123 --> 00:14:09.558
He bore our diseases
00:14:09.558 --> 00:14:11.327
And he carried our sicknesses and pains in his own body
00:14:11.327 --> 00:14:14.930
On the tree.
00:14:14.930 --> 00:14:16.332
Friend, never forget this.
00:14:16.332 --> 00:14:18.067
David the psalmist said, "bless the lord,
00:14:18.067 --> 00:14:20.469
O my soul, and forget not all his benefits."
00:14:20.469 --> 00:14:24.673
And yet, many believers are forgetting the benefits.
00:14:24.673 --> 00:14:28.644
The bible says, forget not all his benefits.
00:14:28.644 --> 00:14:31.580
And sometimes we remember a few benefits.
00:14:31.580 --> 00:14:33.949
The bible says, forget not all.
00:14:33.949 --> 00:14:37.453
We must remember it all.
00:14:37.453 --> 00:14:38.887
And there are five benefits mentioned there.
00:14:38.887 --> 00:14:40.756
Forget not all his benefits.
00:14:40.756 --> 00:14:42.658
The first one, "who forgives all your sins,
00:14:42.658 --> 00:14:45.627
Who forgives all your iniquities."
00:14:45.627 --> 00:14:47.930
That's the first one.
00:14:47.930 --> 00:14:49.465
That means your sins, my friend.
00:14:49.465 --> 00:14:51.567
And he's forgiven all.
00:14:51.567 --> 00:14:53.635
Where?
00:14:53.635 --> 00:14:55.004
At the cross.
00:14:55.004 --> 00:14:56.372
Who forgiveth all your iniquities,
00:14:56.372 --> 00:14:57.840
Who healeth all your diseases, hallelujah.
00:14:57.840 --> 00:15:01.977
Again, all your diseases.
00:15:01.977 --> 00:15:04.913
Not just, you know, as and when god feels like healing.
00:15:04.913 --> 00:15:08.283
No, no friend.
00:15:08.283 --> 00:15:09.618
The bible says god heals all your diseases.
00:15:09.618 --> 00:15:11.186
And i believe the word of god.
00:15:11.186 --> 00:15:12.788
And i will not forget this benefit
00:15:12.788 --> 00:15:14.757
Because i'm not to forget any of his benefit
00:15:14.757 --> 00:15:17.726
But to remember them all, hallelujah.
00:15:17.726 --> 00:15:20.396
And god wants to heal your body, amen.
00:15:20.396 --> 00:15:22.831
If you're sick in your body, god wants to heal your body.
00:15:22.831 --> 00:15:25.534
It goes on to say, "who redeems your life from destruction."
00:15:25.534 --> 00:15:30.239
That's another benefit.
00:15:30.239 --> 00:15:31.573
God redeems our life from destruction.
00:15:31.573 --> 00:15:34.243
And friend, you know, you can be a person who is healthy.
00:15:34.243 --> 00:15:38.714
I mean, you're exercising all the time,
00:15:38.714 --> 00:15:40.049
Watch your diet and all that.
00:15:40.049 --> 00:15:41.950
Only to be met with an accident or things like that.
00:15:41.950 --> 00:15:44.353
This is destruction, outside health areas, amen.
00:15:44.353 --> 00:15:49.491
It can happen to anyone.
00:15:49.491 --> 00:15:51.126
You know, people say, "when your time is up, your time is up."
00:15:51.126 --> 00:15:52.928
No, my friend.
00:15:52.928 --> 00:15:54.296
There is a devil out there and he hates you.
00:15:54.296 --> 00:15:57.332
But there is a god, praise the lord, who loves you.
00:15:57.332 --> 00:16:00.602
Who gave his son to die for your sins,
00:16:00.602 --> 00:16:02.871
Who paid the price for you to be healthy, amen,
00:16:02.871 --> 00:16:05.674
To be strong.
00:16:05.674 --> 00:16:07.009
Praise the lord.
00:16:07.009 --> 00:16:08.343
To be forgiven, amen, of all your sins.
00:16:08.343 --> 00:16:10.379
And this same god, his benefit for you
00:16:10.379 --> 00:16:13.382
Is also "who redeems your life from destruction."
00:16:13.382 --> 00:16:16.952
Notice the word "redeem."
00:16:16.952 --> 00:16:18.420
That means there was a payment made for you to be delivered
00:16:18.420 --> 00:16:22.224
Or to be rescued from that destruction.
00:16:22.224 --> 00:16:24.893
You see, because of sin,
00:16:24.893 --> 00:16:26.495
Because we'll sin against a holy god, amen.
00:16:26.495 --> 00:16:28.964
Because of sin,
00:16:28.964 --> 00:16:30.399
There is a tax that comes with it.
00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:31.967
There is a penalty that comes with it,
00:16:31.967 --> 00:16:33.602
Which is death, disease, destruction.
00:16:33.602 --> 00:16:37.272
But jesus on the cross shed his blood,
00:16:37.272 --> 00:16:39.608
That precious blood that washes away our sins.
00:16:39.608 --> 00:16:42.611
And that blood is redeeming blood.
00:16:42.611 --> 00:16:45.647
That blood has redeemed you.
00:16:45.647 --> 00:16:47.049
That means the word "redeem" means to buy you out
00:16:47.049 --> 00:16:50.519
From that slave market of sin, of death, of destruction.
00:16:50.519 --> 00:16:55.324
Praise the lord.
00:16:55.324 --> 00:16:56.792
He has bought you out.
00:16:56.792 --> 00:16:58.127
So the bible says, one of the benefits of god,
00:16:58.127 --> 00:16:59.895
We need to confess this benefit
00:16:59.895 --> 00:17:01.396
Over ourselves every day.
00:17:01.396 --> 00:17:03.665
"bless the lord, o my soul,
00:17:03.665 --> 00:17:05.167
And forget not all his benefits: who forgives all my iniquities."
00:17:05.167 --> 00:17:09.304
Praise the lord.
00:17:09.304 --> 00:17:10.639
That's what christmas is all about, friend.
00:17:10.639 --> 00:17:12.674
It's not so much the birth of jesus that saves us.
00:17:12.674 --> 00:17:15.477
It is his death on the cross, amen,
00:17:15.477 --> 00:17:18.347
And his resurrection, hallelujah.
00:17:18.347 --> 00:17:21.650
"and who healeth all your diseases," all.
00:17:21.650 --> 00:17:27.022
"who redeems your life from destruction."
00:17:27.022 --> 00:17:31.193
Now we come to the fourth benefit.
00:17:31.193 --> 00:17:32.794
It says: "who crowns you with lovingkindness
00:17:32.794 --> 00:17:35.998
And tender mercies."
00:17:35.998 --> 00:17:37.766
God loves to just crown his children, amen, with favor.
00:17:37.766 --> 00:17:42.304
The word "lovingkindness" in the hebrew is the word "hesed."
00:17:42.304 --> 00:17:46.942
Hesed is the word "grace," "favor."
00:17:46.942 --> 00:17:50.145
God surrounds you.
00:17:50.145 --> 00:17:52.014
And the word "crown," it's not like a crown
00:17:52.014 --> 00:17:53.615
That you wear on your head.
00:17:53.615 --> 00:17:54.983
In the hebrew, the word "atar," the word "crown"
00:17:54.983 --> 00:17:57.052
Is actually all around you.
00:17:57.052 --> 00:17:59.321
It's like you are in this pavilion.
00:17:59.321 --> 00:18:01.557
You are actually surrounded with, crowned with,
00:18:01.557 --> 00:18:05.627
Glory and honor, all encompassing you.
00:18:05.627 --> 00:18:08.797
Praise the lord.
00:18:08.797 --> 00:18:10.299
And it's the favor of god covering you.
00:18:10.299 --> 00:18:12.634
It's the favor of god that you are crowned with.
00:18:12.634 --> 00:18:15.337
And everywhere you go, you have favor.
00:18:15.337 --> 00:18:17.372
Praise the lord.
00:18:17.372 --> 00:18:18.774
And compassion.
00:18:18.774 --> 00:18:20.642
"who crowns you with lovingkindness,"
00:18:20.642 --> 00:18:23.045
And the king james says, "tender mercies," or compassion.
00:18:23.045 --> 00:18:25.447
The word there is actually the compassion of a mother
00:18:25.447 --> 00:18:28.984
For a child, amen.
00:18:28.984 --> 00:18:31.086
The word "rachem" in hebrew is actually the word
00:18:31.086 --> 00:18:34.790
Used for also the woman's womb,
00:18:34.790 --> 00:18:37.392
The word for womb where she nourishes her baby.
00:18:37.392 --> 00:18:40.762
And that's the picture used there for this word
00:18:40.762 --> 00:18:43.799
For tender mercies.
00:18:43.799 --> 00:18:45.467
God surrounds you with favor and you are surrounded
00:18:45.467 --> 00:18:48.904
Like in a cocoon, in a pavilion of his tender mercies,
00:18:48.904 --> 00:18:53.342
Of his compassion.
00:18:53.342 --> 00:18:54.910
You sense the love of god.
00:18:54.910 --> 00:18:56.712
You see, that's why you don't have to go looking for love
00:18:56.712 --> 00:18:58.947
In all the wrong places.
00:18:58.947 --> 00:19:00.515
Because when god crowns you, my friend,
00:19:00.515 --> 00:19:02.451
You sense that you are the beloved, amen?
00:19:02.451 --> 00:19:05.821
Every day is an adventure of the beloved
00:19:05.821 --> 00:19:07.856
Going somewhere to happen, amen?
00:19:07.856 --> 00:19:10.158
You are not trying to love.
00:19:10.158 --> 00:19:11.493
You are the beloved.
00:19:11.493 --> 00:19:12.828
And the more you realize you are the beloved,
00:19:12.828 --> 00:19:14.830
You will end up loving.
00:19:14.830 --> 00:19:16.231
Loving those around you, amen.
00:19:16.231 --> 00:19:18.700
You can afford to even overlook an evil done to you.
00:19:18.700 --> 00:19:22.471
Praise the lord.
00:19:22.471 --> 00:19:23.805
Because why? you are god's beloved.
00:19:23.805 --> 00:19:25.474
And the fifth benefit is this.
00:19:25.474 --> 00:19:27.643
"who satisfies your mouth with good things,
00:19:27.643 --> 00:19:31.213
So that your youth is renewed like the eagle's," wow, amen.
00:19:31.213 --> 00:19:38.587
Do you know, my friend, the bible says
00:19:38.587 --> 00:19:40.122
That god wants to renew your youth.
00:19:40.122 --> 00:19:41.857
It's a benefit that he gives to his people
00:19:41.857 --> 00:19:43.925
"who satisfies your mouth with good things,
00:19:43.925 --> 00:19:46.128
So that your youth is renewed like the eagle's."
00:19:46.128 --> 00:19:51.733
And that's what god wants for you.
00:19:51.733 --> 00:19:53.335
Even in your advanced years,
00:19:53.335 --> 00:19:56.705
God says god can renew your youth like the eagle's.
00:19:56.705 --> 00:20:02.010
I did a study of this word "youth."
00:20:02.010 --> 00:20:03.979
You know, i just wanted to know what is god's perspective
00:20:03.979 --> 00:20:05.814
Of youth for us, amen, that he wants to renew.
00:20:05.814 --> 00:20:09.017
And i read that there are different words for youth
00:20:09.017 --> 00:20:11.953
In the hebrew.
00:20:11.953 --> 00:20:13.488
Different stages of youthfulness.
00:20:13.488 --> 00:20:14.923
Like we say, a child.
00:20:14.923 --> 00:20:16.491
Then we have the teen years, amen.
00:20:16.491 --> 00:20:19.661
And then we have the young men in their 20s, in their 30s.
00:20:19.661 --> 00:20:24.266
Well, the word for--that's used there in the hebrew is actually
00:20:24.266 --> 00:20:27.736
The teen years, youth, the teenage years.
00:20:27.736 --> 00:20:32.040
So god wants to satisfy your mouth
00:20:32.040 --> 00:20:36.278
So that your teenage youth, amen, hallelujah,
00:20:36.278 --> 00:20:42.284
Will be restored, will be renewed like the eagle's,
00:20:42.284 --> 00:20:46.855
Which is a literal renewal.
00:20:46.855 --> 00:20:49.124
Forget not even this benefit, my friend.
00:20:49.124 --> 00:20:51.660
Receive it.
00:20:51.660 --> 00:20:52.994
I believe god wants to invade your life, into your household,
00:20:52.994 --> 00:20:56.631
Into all the dark places of your life.
00:20:56.631 --> 00:20:59.000
You might be struggling with depression, with drug addiction.
00:20:59.000 --> 00:21:03.105
You might be struggling with a broken heart.
00:21:03.105 --> 00:21:06.241
You may see things in yourself that you don't like, you hate.
00:21:06.241 --> 00:21:09.411
But how do you change?
00:21:09.411 --> 00:21:11.513
You cannot change by your willpower.
00:21:11.513 --> 00:21:13.215
You know that.
00:21:13.215 --> 00:21:14.549
You know that very well, amen?
00:21:14.549 --> 00:21:16.218
True change is from inside out.
00:21:16.218 --> 00:21:19.121
Only god can change you.
00:21:19.121 --> 00:21:20.889
Only jesus can transform you, amen.
00:21:20.889 --> 00:21:24.826
And that's the reason he died on the cross.
00:21:24.826 --> 00:21:27.696
When he hung on that tree,
00:21:27.696 --> 00:21:29.431
For 3 hours darkness covered the earth.
00:21:29.431 --> 00:21:33.435
It was like heaven became brass.
00:21:33.435 --> 00:21:38.173
And he hung there suspended between heaven and earth.
00:21:38.173 --> 00:21:40.542
It's as if heaven would not receive him
00:21:40.542 --> 00:21:43.445
And earth rejects him.
00:21:43.445 --> 00:21:45.747
He took that place for you and i.
00:21:45.747 --> 00:21:47.949
Because at that time, all this was not an accident.
00:21:47.949 --> 00:21:50.786
God planned it because a thrice-holy god,
00:21:50.786 --> 00:21:54.523
A righteous god, cannot receive man that he loves
00:21:54.523 --> 00:21:59.227
Into his presence if man has sinned
00:21:59.227 --> 00:22:02.230
Any more than a judge can allow a murderer to go free,
00:22:02.230 --> 00:22:06.735
A serial rapist to go free.
00:22:06.735 --> 00:22:09.504
You know, he must be judged.
00:22:09.504 --> 00:22:11.473
But then god loves you and god doesn't want to judge you.
00:22:11.473 --> 00:22:16.011
So how can god maintain his righteousness and holiness,
00:22:16.011 --> 00:22:20.215
At the same time make you righteous, acquitted?
00:22:20.215 --> 00:22:24.519
How can god do that?
00:22:24.519 --> 00:22:26.455
And the amazing gospel story, which the story of christmas
00:22:26.455 --> 00:22:30.759
Commenced it, is when god sent his son, jesus christ,
00:22:30.759 --> 00:22:34.463
For the purpose of dying for us on that cross.
00:22:34.463 --> 00:22:37.132
Because he who knew no sin, when he took our place,
00:22:37.132 --> 00:22:40.869
Amen, that means we take his place, amen, today.
00:22:40.869 --> 00:22:44.739
He took our place so that we can take his place.
00:22:44.739 --> 00:22:47.876
He took our place of rejection from god and we take his place
00:22:47.876 --> 00:22:53.248
Of acceptance and favor with god.
00:22:53.248 --> 00:22:56.551
He bore our sins and was punished to the fullest extent
00:22:56.551 --> 00:23:02.591
For all our sins so that you and i today will receive
00:23:02.591 --> 00:23:05.694
All the blessings that he deserve
00:23:05.694 --> 00:23:08.597
And truly enjoy it and give praise to god
00:23:08.597 --> 00:23:12.100
For it, hallelujah.
00:23:12.100 --> 00:23:14.402
Announcer: and now, a closing word from pastor joseph prince.
00:23:14.469 --> 00:23:17.672
Joseph prince: stand to your feet, if you can,
00:23:17.672 --> 00:23:20.308
Together with your families, if you're together.
00:23:20.375 --> 00:23:22.444
You may hold hands, as you receive
00:23:22.444 --> 00:23:24.246
The blessing this coming week.
00:23:24.246 --> 00:23:25.981
And this coming week is only a few days
00:23:25.981 --> 00:23:27.616
Before we enter the new year.
00:23:27.616 --> 00:23:30.018
And the lord has a theme for us.
00:23:30.018 --> 00:23:31.686
Every year, he has a theme for us, the overriding,
00:23:31.686 --> 00:23:34.356
Governing theme,
00:23:34.356 --> 00:23:35.790
Which means what he's going to do for us and, in particular,
00:23:35.790 --> 00:23:38.860
Our church and the ministry that he has given me
00:23:38.860 --> 00:23:41.663
For the people that are following this ministry.
00:23:41.663 --> 00:23:43.632
He has a governing theme for you, praise the lord.
00:23:43.632 --> 00:23:46.635
So be expecting to hear from god, amen?
00:23:46.635 --> 00:23:50.105
And to also govern your life according to what he
00:23:50.105 --> 00:23:53.008
Wants to do in your life this coming year.
00:23:53.008 --> 00:23:55.744
Praise the lord, hallelujah, amen?
00:23:55.744 --> 00:23:59.714
May the grace of our lord jesus christ,
00:23:59.714 --> 00:24:03.885
The love of god, and the sweet fellowship
00:24:03.885 --> 00:24:08.924
Of the holy spirit be with you throughout this week,
00:24:08.924 --> 00:24:14.529
In the name of the lord jesus christ, amen.
00:24:14.529 --> 00:24:19.534
Merry christmas.
00:24:19.534 --> 00:24:21.202
Male announcer: we live in a world
00:24:22.604 --> 00:24:24.005
That moves faster than ever.
00:24:24.005 --> 00:24:25.840
Headlines change by the hour.
00:24:25.840 --> 00:24:28.109
Values shift.
00:24:28.109 --> 00:24:29.811
Truth feels negotiable.
00:24:29.811 --> 00:24:32.213
What was certain yesterday is no longer clear today.
00:24:32.213 --> 00:24:36.651
But through all the noise and the shaking,
00:24:36.651 --> 00:24:39.554
There is one who is still the same.
00:24:39.554 --> 00:24:43.224
In the chaos, he is still the calm.
00:24:43.224 --> 00:24:46.561
In the panic, he is still the promise.
00:24:46.561 --> 00:24:49.664
Because when all else falters, fades, and falls,
00:24:49.664 --> 00:24:53.535
He is still jesus above it all.
00:24:53.535 --> 00:24:56.771
So no matter what's popular today or forgotten tomorrow,
00:24:56.771 --> 00:25:00.809
This ministry will still always be all about jesus.
00:25:00.809 --> 00:25:05.680
Still the center of our call, still the heartbeat
00:25:05.680 --> 00:25:08.917
Of our people.
00:25:08.917 --> 00:25:10.418

00:25:18.793 --> 00:25:20.328
Female: i had been a smoker since i was in college.
00:25:20.395 --> 00:25:22.731
One of those habits that you picked up and,
00:25:22.731 --> 00:25:24.866
"ahh, you know, i really like this."
00:25:24.866 --> 00:25:27.302
For me it was so hard because i didn't want to let it go.
00:25:27.302 --> 00:25:30.972
Sitting under pastor's teaching so much
00:25:30.972 --> 00:25:33.541
I understood i needed a rhema word
00:25:33.541 --> 00:25:36.277
For my particular situation.
00:25:36.277 --> 00:25:38.513
So he led me to "the battle is the lord's."
00:25:38.513 --> 00:25:43.618
I listened to that for probably about two weeks.
00:25:43.618 --> 00:25:46.921
That was the only thing i was listening to.
00:25:46.921 --> 00:25:49.491
And then i started memorizing some of the scriptures.
00:25:49.491 --> 00:25:53.094
I knew there is no success without that
00:25:53.094 --> 00:25:56.064
Just coming up inside of you.
00:25:56.064 --> 00:25:58.400
Pastor's so good in teaching us our identity
00:25:58.400 --> 00:26:00.769
Of the old man and the new man.
00:26:00.769 --> 00:26:03.405
That new man does not want to smoke.
00:26:03.405 --> 00:26:05.907
Now after this did i still have the habit of like doing that?
00:26:05.907 --> 00:26:11.012
Because it was like a regular ritual.
00:26:11.012 --> 00:26:12.914
Yes, but every time i remembered, "that's not me,
00:26:12.914 --> 00:26:16.818
I'm created in true righteousness
00:26:16.818 --> 00:26:18.553
And holiness in christ."
00:26:18.553 --> 00:26:20.722
I went to bed that night, slept like a baby.
00:26:20.722 --> 00:26:23.958
The next morning i had no desire for cigarettes again.
00:26:23.958 --> 00:26:30.198
It was such the lord, the power of his love.
00:26:30.198 --> 00:26:34.969
What a beautiful work that jesus did and it's all him alone.
