  • 00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:10.820
  • Joseph prince: the million dollar question
  • 00:00:12.889 --> 00:00:14.090
  • That the church of jesus christ has is that
  • 00:00:14.190 --> 00:00:15.558
  • I know he bore my diseases,
  • 00:00:15.692 --> 00:00:17.327
  • Not just my sins, but how do i partake that?
  • 00:00:17.460 --> 00:00:18.261
  • How do i have access to it?
  • 00:00:19.963 --> 00:00:21.831
  • How do i become an intimate participator,
  • 00:00:21.831 --> 00:00:24.467
  • A sharer of what happened?"
  • 00:00:24.467 --> 00:00:27.403
  • Observe israel: "are not those who eat partakers?"
  • 00:00:27.403 --> 00:00:31.374
  • In other words, when you eat the bread
  • 00:00:31.374 --> 00:00:34.477
  • And drink the cup, you become
  • 00:00:34.477 --> 00:00:37.747
  • A partaker of what jesus did at the cross.
  • 00:00:37.747 --> 00:00:42.018
  • Male announcer: the world tells you to eat clean,
  • 00:00:42.085 --> 00:00:43.920
  • To cut carbs, to perfect your diet plan.
  • 00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:46.956
  • But what is god's way?
  • 00:00:46.956 --> 00:00:48.625

  • 00:01:12.415 --> 00:01:14.584
  • And now here's pastor joseph prince with today's program.
  • 00:01:14.651 --> 00:01:18.555
  • Joseph prince: let's dive right into the word.
  • 00:01:18.555 --> 00:01:19.889
  • I got lots to share with you,
  • 00:01:19.889 --> 00:01:21.424
  • And i believe it's gonna bless you.
  • 00:01:21.424 --> 00:01:23.526
  • It's one of those messages that i feel that the lord
  • 00:01:23.526 --> 00:01:25.562
  • Has for us that he wants us to listen to again and again,
  • 00:01:25.562 --> 00:01:28.665
  • Especially when you're going through some specific trial,
  • 00:01:28.665 --> 00:01:32.268
  • Which i'll be mentioning afterwards.
  • 00:01:32.268 --> 00:01:34.103
  • But let's do it, 1 corinthians 10, right up here
  • 00:01:34.103 --> 00:01:37.507
  • At this well-known verse, one of the first things
  • 00:01:37.507 --> 00:01:40.610
  • That we learned, you know, we get saved
  • 00:01:40.610 --> 00:01:42.612
  • In the navigator's memory verse pack.
  • 00:01:42.612 --> 00:01:46.349
  • One of the first things they do is that they give you this verse
  • 00:01:46.349 --> 00:01:48.651
  • To memorize, all right?
  • 00:01:48.651 --> 00:01:50.620
  • "there has no temptation overtaken you."
  • 00:01:50.620 --> 00:01:52.222
  • See, i'm quoting from the old king james.
  • 00:01:52.222 --> 00:01:54.290
  • This is the new king james. you remember this verse.
  • 00:01:54.290 --> 00:01:57.060
  • But actually the word for temptation, "peirasmos,"
  • 00:01:57.060 --> 00:02:01.998
  • All right?
  • 00:02:01.998 --> 00:02:03.333
  • Peirasmos, temptation.
  • 00:02:03.333 --> 00:02:04.867
  • It's not just temptation to sin, it's also trial.
  • 00:02:04.867 --> 00:02:09.105
  • I said it's also trial.
  • 00:02:09.105 --> 00:02:11.541
  • Peirasmos is also trial.
  • 00:02:11.541 --> 00:02:14.010
  • When the doctors give you a bad diagnosis,
  • 00:02:14.010 --> 00:02:16.312
  • That's a trial in your life, amen?
  • 00:02:16.312 --> 00:02:18.681
  • When you hear that your business,
  • 00:02:18.681 --> 00:02:20.550
  • All right, is not doing so well, you just received news report,
  • 00:02:20.550 --> 00:02:23.686
  • All right, that's a trial of your faith, amen?
  • 00:02:23.686 --> 00:02:26.756
  • You hear bad news that one of your child
  • 00:02:26.756 --> 00:02:29.892
  • Has been found doing this and doing that or whatever,
  • 00:02:29.892 --> 00:02:32.228
  • That's a trial of your faith, amen?
  • 00:02:32.228 --> 00:02:35.031
  • So, all that is under that one greek word,
  • 00:02:35.031 --> 00:02:38.201
  • Peirasmos, okay?
  • 00:02:38.201 --> 00:02:40.103
  • It can be a temptation or a solicitation to sin,
  • 00:02:40.103 --> 00:02:43.973
  • To evil, or it's just a trial, same word.
  • 00:02:43.973 --> 00:02:48.111
  • I kind of wish there were more than one word,
  • 00:02:48.111 --> 00:02:50.113
  • But it's the same word.
  • 00:02:50.113 --> 00:02:51.881
  • So, you have to see from the context,
  • 00:02:51.881 --> 00:02:53.383
  • Is it talking about temptation to sin?
  • 00:02:53.383 --> 00:02:56.619
  • Or is it talking about trial,
  • 00:02:56.619 --> 00:02:59.022
  • The vicissitudes of life that one goes through?
  • 00:02:59.022 --> 00:03:02.025
  • So, let's look at this, and you decide.
  • 00:03:02.025 --> 00:03:04.227
  • "no temptation," i'm gonna use the interchangeably,
  • 00:03:04.227 --> 00:03:06.429
  • "no trial has overtaken you except such as is common to men.
  • 00:03:06.429 --> 00:03:11.634
  • But god is faithful." hallelujah.
  • 00:03:11.634 --> 00:03:13.970
  • Those three words is more than enough, man.
  • 00:03:13.970 --> 00:03:16.973
  • I'll tell you, you can rest.
  • 00:03:16.973 --> 00:03:18.708
  • You see, church, it's not so much the faith of a believer.
  • 00:03:18.708 --> 00:03:20.977
  • Your faith is important, "without faith
  • 00:03:20.977 --> 00:03:22.445
  • It's impossible to please god."
  • 00:03:22.445 --> 00:03:23.880
  • It's not so much the faith of the believer,
  • 00:03:23.880 --> 00:03:25.815
  • It's the faithfulness of the promiser.
  • 00:03:25.815 --> 00:03:31.988
  • "by faith sarah received strength
  • 00:03:31.988 --> 00:03:35.325
  • To conceive seed, for she judged him faithful."
  • 00:03:35.325 --> 00:03:39.696
  • She didn't judge herself full of faith,
  • 00:03:39.696 --> 00:03:41.731
  • She judged him faithful.
  • 00:03:41.731 --> 00:03:44.801
  • "but god is faithful who will not allow you
  • 00:03:44.801 --> 00:03:46.803
  • To be tested," or tempted.
  • 00:03:46.803 --> 00:03:49.739
  • Now, remember, i'm using words interchangeably.
  • 00:03:49.739 --> 00:03:51.974
  • "tempted," or tested, "beyond what you are able,
  • 00:03:51.974 --> 00:03:55.712
  • But with the testing will also make
  • 00:03:55.712 --> 00:03:58.715
  • The way of escape, that you may be able
  • 00:03:58.715 --> 00:04:02.318
  • To bear it."
  • 00:04:02.318 --> 00:04:03.753
  • Now, there seems to be a contradiction.
  • 00:04:03.753 --> 00:04:05.755
  • Number one, with the testing,
  • 00:04:05.755 --> 00:04:08.257
  • There is a way of escape that you may be able to bear it.
  • 00:04:08.257 --> 00:04:12.161
  • Now, usually, the idea of bearing something
  • 00:04:12.161 --> 00:04:14.464
  • With endurance, all right, with longsuffering,
  • 00:04:14.464 --> 00:04:16.933
  • Perseverance or whatever means you stay in that problem.
  • 00:04:16.933 --> 00:04:19.369
  • You don't escape.
  • 00:04:19.369 --> 00:04:20.703
  • If you escape, the testing is no more testing.
  • 00:04:20.703 --> 00:04:26.209
  • You found your way out.
  • 00:04:26.209 --> 00:04:29.812
  • So, it's like a contradiction.
  • 00:04:29.812 --> 00:04:31.647
  • How can you bear something if there's a way out, all right?
  • 00:04:31.647 --> 00:04:36.252
  • So, i'm gonna submit to you something
  • 00:04:36.252 --> 00:04:37.587
  • You're gonna learn here, and it's gonna bless you.
  • 00:04:37.587 --> 00:04:39.822
  • It says here, with the temptation,
  • 00:04:39.822 --> 00:04:41.457
  • How many are glad that with the testing
  • 00:04:41.457 --> 00:04:42.792
  • That comes, every testing, god promises that
  • 00:04:42.792 --> 00:04:45.194
  • With the testing that comes, god will provide a way out?
  • 00:04:45.194 --> 00:04:49.232
  • And the way out, notice that the way out,
  • 00:04:49.232 --> 00:04:52.435
  • The way of escape, it's not the way of escape.
  • 00:04:52.435 --> 00:04:54.070
  • It's actually one greek word, "ekbasis," ekbasis.
  • 00:04:54.070 --> 00:05:00.109
  • I know it sounds japanese, but it's greek, ekbasis, okay?
  • 00:05:00.109 --> 00:05:04.580
  • Ekbasis, "ek" means out of, "basis" is walk.
  • 00:05:04.580 --> 00:05:09.552
  • It's you literally walk out, exit, all right?
  • 00:05:09.552 --> 00:05:14.590
  • One greek word put it in english as exit.
  • 00:05:14.590 --> 00:05:18.261
  • The way out, the escape, the exit.
  • 00:05:18.261 --> 00:05:21.564
  • You walk out.
  • 00:05:21.564 --> 00:05:23.833
  • Ekbasis, amen?
  • 00:05:23.833 --> 00:05:26.135
  • So, it's one word, the way of escape
  • 00:05:26.135 --> 00:05:27.670
  • Is one word, okay?
  • 00:05:27.670 --> 00:05:29.505
  • And if you look at the old king james,
  • 00:05:29.505 --> 00:05:32.175
  • Which many of us read from and i memorize
  • 00:05:32.175 --> 00:05:34.177
  • From navigators, it's the old king james,
  • 00:05:34.177 --> 00:05:35.745
  • It says, "make a way to escape" with the temptation, god makes--
  • 00:05:35.745 --> 00:05:39.982
  • Or testing, god makes a way to escape.
  • 00:05:39.982 --> 00:05:42.618
  • So, the idea that i always have
  • 00:05:42.618 --> 00:05:44.053
  • In my mind is this, that with every trial that comes,
  • 00:05:44.053 --> 00:05:47.190
  • Whatever the trial is, god's faithfulness is
  • 00:05:47.190 --> 00:05:49.325
  • That he will always make a way to escape,
  • 00:05:49.325 --> 00:05:52.261
  • All right, make a way to escape.
  • 00:05:52.261 --> 00:05:53.863
  • But in the greek, i found out that
  • 00:05:53.863 --> 00:05:56.632
  • It is not a way to escape.
  • 00:05:56.632 --> 00:05:58.801
  • Because this idea "a way," we do not know what that way is.
  • 00:05:58.801 --> 00:06:01.604
  • But first and foremost, let me just tell you this,
  • 00:06:01.604 --> 00:06:02.939
  • It's not a way to escape.
  • 00:06:02.939 --> 00:06:04.373
  • In the greek, it is definite article,
  • 00:06:04.373 --> 00:06:07.009
  • The escape, the exit, the way out.
  • 00:06:07.009 --> 00:06:11.914
  • The way out, the way out.
  • 00:06:11.914 --> 00:06:14.550
  • The ekbasis, the way out.
  • 00:06:14.550 --> 00:06:16.986
  • And i challenge any scholar to look it up, all right?
  • 00:06:16.986 --> 00:06:19.388
  • That's why old king james is not very accurate.
  • 00:06:19.388 --> 00:06:21.657
  • The new king james says, "the way of escape."
  • 00:06:21.657 --> 00:06:24.961
  • It's accurate.
  • 00:06:24.961 --> 00:06:26.295
  • Now, when you say "a," that means
  • 00:06:26.295 --> 00:06:28.197
  • With every testing, you have to find a way.
  • 00:06:28.197 --> 00:06:30.867
  • A way can be a new way.
  • 00:06:30.867 --> 00:06:32.935
  • I said a way can be a new way, all right,
  • 00:06:32.935 --> 00:06:35.371
  • You understand or no?
  • 00:06:35.371 --> 00:06:36.706
  • There's always a way, there's always a way of escape.
  • 00:06:36.706 --> 00:06:38.741
  • There's always a door there for you.
  • 00:06:38.741 --> 00:06:40.209
  • That means it's general. you do not know what it is.
  • 00:06:40.209 --> 00:06:42.678
  • But when you say "the," you are pointing
  • 00:06:42.678 --> 00:06:44.814
  • To something very definite.
  • 00:06:44.814 --> 00:06:47.850
  • So, the way of escape, there must be something
  • 00:06:47.850 --> 00:06:50.853
  • That the writer has in mind, and it's found
  • 00:06:50.853 --> 00:06:53.623
  • In the context, okay?
  • 00:06:53.623 --> 00:06:55.725
  • It's all found in the context.
  • 00:06:55.725 --> 00:06:57.827
  • Before that, we look at, "that you may be able
  • 00:06:57.827 --> 00:06:59.328
  • To bear it."
  • 00:06:59.328 --> 00:07:00.663
  • All right, what is this word "bear it"?
  • 00:07:00.663 --> 00:07:02.365
  • "it" down there, we left it untranslated
  • 00:07:02.365 --> 00:07:04.567
  • Because we're going to see that it's in the italics,
  • 00:07:04.567 --> 00:07:06.536
  • Which means it's not in the original greek,
  • 00:07:06.536 --> 00:07:08.571
  • All right?
  • 00:07:08.571 --> 00:07:09.906
  • So, we look at the word "bear." the word "bear" is "hupophero."
  • 00:07:09.906 --> 00:07:13.743
  • Are y'all doing fine so far? can follow, right?
  • 00:07:13.743 --> 00:07:16.646
  • Okay, hupophero, what is hupophero?
  • 00:07:16.646 --> 00:07:18.481
  • What is hupophero? hupo means under.
  • 00:07:18.481 --> 00:07:22.251
  • When something comes under, it's hupo.
  • 00:07:22.251 --> 00:07:24.620
  • Phero is to be borne along, like on a river,
  • 00:07:24.620 --> 00:07:28.391
  • Like a ship being borne along.
  • 00:07:28.391 --> 00:07:30.293
  • Now, i have many, many word studies in my library.
  • 00:07:30.293 --> 00:07:34.463
  • One of the word studies says it like this.
  • 00:07:34.463 --> 00:07:36.832
  • This is not from me, these words, okay?
  • 00:07:36.832 --> 00:07:38.534
  • Hupophero means like this: an undercurrent of a river
  • 00:07:38.534 --> 00:07:41.804
  • Carrying someone away, carried safely away from danger.
  • 00:07:41.804 --> 00:07:47.410
  • It's not this idea of bearing it,
  • 00:07:47.410 --> 00:07:49.011
  • Sit down there, you know, bear it.
  • 00:07:49.011 --> 00:07:50.580
  • You know, it's the idea of the way
  • 00:07:50.580 --> 00:07:52.348
  • Out is actually, hey, god released
  • 00:07:52.348 --> 00:07:54.650
  • More of his spirit to carry you out, amen?
  • 00:07:54.650 --> 00:07:58.621
  • Undercurrent of a river because the word hupo is under,
  • 00:07:58.621 --> 00:08:01.791
  • All right.
  • 00:08:01.791 --> 00:08:03.125
  • Carrying is the word phero, all right, carry it
  • 00:08:03.125 --> 00:08:05.328
  • Safely away from danger.
  • 00:08:05.328 --> 00:08:06.729
  • Praise the lord.
  • 00:08:06.729 --> 00:08:08.698
  • Now, we come to the revelation.
  • 00:08:08.698 --> 00:08:10.066
  • We go back to 1 corinthians 10:13,
  • 00:08:10.066 --> 00:08:12.168
  • All right?
  • 00:08:12.168 --> 00:08:13.502
  • God makes the way of escape that you may be borne,
  • 00:08:13.502 --> 00:08:16.872
  • Carried safely away, from danger.
  • 00:08:16.872 --> 00:08:20.009
  • So, what is the context?
  • 00:08:20.009 --> 00:08:21.877
  • Look at this.
  • 00:08:21.877 --> 00:08:23.412
  • Now i'm gonna show you my bible,
  • 00:08:23.412 --> 00:08:25.081
  • And i'm gonna show you my finger and thumb.
  • 00:08:25.081 --> 00:08:27.783
  • Okay, now you see the context.
  • 00:08:27.783 --> 00:08:31.120
  • Verse 13 to 16, can you see this?
  • 00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:34.256
  • Now, this is from the old king james.
  • 00:08:34.256 --> 00:08:36.158
  • I use the old king james a lot. now, look at the context.
  • 00:08:36.158 --> 00:08:39.195
  • Just two verses after that, it talks about
  • 00:08:39.195 --> 00:08:41.864
  • "the cup of blessing," verse 16,
  • 00:08:41.864 --> 00:08:44.333
  • "which we bless, is it not the communion
  • 00:08:44.333 --> 00:08:47.003
  • Of the blood of christ?
  • 00:08:47.003 --> 00:08:48.971
  • The bread which we break, is it not the communion
  • 00:08:48.971 --> 00:08:52.642
  • Of the body of christ?"
  • 00:08:52.642 --> 00:08:54.543
  • I'm like, huh?
  • 00:08:54.543 --> 00:08:56.846
  • All of a sudden about trial, the way out,
  • 00:08:56.846 --> 00:08:59.482
  • God will give you the way out, all right?
  • 00:08:59.482 --> 00:09:01.817
  • You'll be borne safely away from danger.
  • 00:09:01.817 --> 00:09:05.154
  • And then two verses after that, it tells you,
  • 00:09:05.154 --> 00:09:07.790
  • And it tells you like, "i can only speak this,"
  • 00:09:07.790 --> 00:09:09.458
  • Verse 15, "to wise men.
  • 00:09:09.458 --> 00:09:11.727
  • Judge you what i say."
  • 00:09:11.727 --> 00:09:13.062
  • In other words, it's gonna take a revelation here.
  • 00:09:13.062 --> 00:09:14.864
  • I'm gonna tell you something, it will take a revelation.
  • 00:09:14.864 --> 00:09:16.866
  • You understand?
  • 00:09:16.866 --> 00:09:18.334
  • And, it will take the wisdom of god.
  • 00:09:18.334 --> 00:09:19.802
  • It will take spiritual intelligence.
  • 00:09:19.802 --> 00:09:21.270
  • Are you ready for that?
  • 00:09:21.270 --> 00:09:22.805
  • So, and then it says here, the cup--this is communion,
  • 00:09:22.805 --> 00:09:25.508
  • Verse 16 is communion.
  • 00:09:25.508 --> 00:09:26.842
  • What about the cup of blessing?
  • 00:09:26.842 --> 00:09:28.244
  • What have they got to do-- and the bread?
  • 00:09:28.244 --> 00:09:30.079
  • What have they got to do with the way of escape?
  • 00:09:30.079 --> 00:09:32.848
  • The way out? the ekbasis?
  • 00:09:32.848 --> 00:09:35.051
  • To walk out from your trial. what does it got to do with it?
  • 00:09:35.051 --> 00:09:40.523
  • But before that, it says, "wherefore," verse 14,
  • 00:09:40.523 --> 00:09:42.858
  • "my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry."
  • 00:09:42.858 --> 00:09:46.328
  • Now, the verses before verse 13 talks about idolatry.
  • 00:09:46.328 --> 00:09:49.432
  • You know how he talks about idolatry?
  • 00:09:49.432 --> 00:09:51.033
  • Same chapter, right, let's go to verse 7,
  • 00:09:51.033 --> 00:09:53.769
  • "do not become idolaters as were some of them.
  • 00:09:53.769 --> 00:09:57.106
  • As it is written, 'the people sat down to eat
  • 00:09:57.106 --> 00:09:59.975
  • And drink, and rose up to play.'"
  • 00:09:59.975 --> 00:10:02.378
  • He's quoting from the incident after they built a golden calf.
  • 00:10:02.378 --> 00:10:06.816
  • You know what they did after they built a golden calf,
  • 00:10:06.816 --> 00:10:08.284
  • The children of israel?
  • 00:10:08.284 --> 00:10:10.386
  • After they built a golden calf,
  • 00:10:10.386 --> 00:10:14.190
  • They sat down, ate, and drank offerings
  • 00:10:14.190 --> 00:10:18.294
  • To the golden calf.
  • 00:10:18.294 --> 00:10:20.162
  • That is idolatry, "and they rose up."
  • 00:10:20.162 --> 00:10:22.364
  • The word play there is the idea of orgies.
  • 00:10:22.364 --> 00:10:26.001
  • They had wild parties.
  • 00:10:26.001 --> 00:10:28.003
  • That's the word we will use today, all right?
  • 00:10:28.003 --> 00:10:30.139
  • Not just party, wild parties.
  • 00:10:30.139 --> 00:10:32.441
  • They sat down, eat, they ate.
  • 00:10:32.441 --> 00:10:34.276
  • So, the idea of eating and drinking
  • 00:10:34.276 --> 00:10:37.012
  • Before a foreign god, which is no god, it's an idol.
  • 00:10:37.012 --> 00:10:43.219
  • Can you see the context?
  • 00:10:43.219 --> 00:10:44.553
  • I'm showing you the context, it's talking about communion.
  • 00:10:44.553 --> 00:10:48.257
  • Can you see that?
  • 00:10:48.257 --> 00:10:49.592
  • In fact, you go behind in the same chapter,
  • 00:10:49.592 --> 00:10:51.660
  • It says, "and all the people of israel,
  • 00:10:51.660 --> 00:10:53.829
  • They drank--they ate the same spiritual food,
  • 00:10:53.829 --> 00:10:58.134
  • And they drank the same spiritual drink,
  • 00:10:58.134 --> 00:11:00.402
  • And they drank from the rock that followed them,
  • 00:11:00.402 --> 00:11:02.571
  • Who was christ."
  • 00:11:02.571 --> 00:11:04.340
  • For eating and drinking again.
  • 00:11:04.340 --> 00:11:06.475
  • Church, do you know that everything that happened to man
  • 00:11:06.475 --> 00:11:09.278
  • Is because man ate his way into all this mess?
  • 00:11:09.278 --> 00:11:13.649
  • I want to show you the background
  • 00:11:13.649 --> 00:11:14.984
  • Of the same chapter to show you it's about eating and drinking.
  • 00:11:14.984 --> 00:11:18.053
  • And by the way, if you look at the rest
  • 00:11:18.053 --> 00:11:20.089
  • Of the remaining chapter, of chapter 10,
  • 00:11:20.089 --> 00:11:22.158
  • It talks about eating, whatever you eat,
  • 00:11:22.158 --> 00:11:24.093
  • Do all to the glory of god, about eating and drinking.
  • 00:11:24.093 --> 00:11:26.896
  • And that's why the very next chapter, okay,
  • 00:11:26.896 --> 00:11:29.732
  • He talks about the apostle paul saying,
  • 00:11:29.732 --> 00:11:32.601
  • Now it's 1 corinthians 11, "guys, i received
  • 00:11:32.601 --> 00:11:35.404
  • From the lord jesus what i delivered to you.
  • 00:11:35.404 --> 00:11:38.307
  • That the same night jesus was betrayed, he took bread."
  • 00:11:38.307 --> 00:11:41.644
  • The apostle paul, in the next chapter,
  • 00:11:41.644 --> 00:11:44.413
  • 1 corinthians 11, said, "i received from the lord
  • 00:11:44.413 --> 00:11:48.184
  • That which i also delivered to you.
  • 00:11:48.184 --> 00:11:50.152
  • The same night he was betrayed, he took bread
  • 00:11:50.152 --> 00:11:53.422
  • And said--he broke it and said, 'this
  • 00:11:53.422 --> 00:11:55.825
  • Is my body broken for you.'
  • 00:11:55.825 --> 00:11:57.226
  • In the same manner, he took the cup,
  • 00:11:57.226 --> 00:11:58.861
  • He gave thanks, and he says,
  • 00:11:58.861 --> 00:12:00.629
  • 'this is my blood shed for the remission of sins.'"
  • 00:12:00.629 --> 00:12:04.733
  • Now, church, let me ask you a question.
  • 00:12:04.733 --> 00:12:06.202
  • Why was it that in chapter 11, paul had to say,
  • 00:12:06.202 --> 00:12:10.005
  • "i received from the lord that which i also delivered to you"?
  • 00:12:10.005 --> 00:12:14.810
  • He could have gone to peter, he could have gone to matthew.
  • 00:12:14.810 --> 00:12:18.881
  • Matthew, mark, and luke recorded
  • 00:12:18.881 --> 00:12:21.617
  • In the synoptic gospels that jesus instituted the communion,
  • 00:12:21.617 --> 00:12:27.289
  • The lord's supper.
  • 00:12:27.289 --> 00:12:29.525
  • Yet, the lord jesus, the present day, glorified,
  • 00:12:29.525 --> 00:12:33.929
  • Ascended christ, thought that communion is
  • 00:12:33.929 --> 00:12:36.165
  • So important that he will give a personal revelation
  • 00:12:36.165 --> 00:12:40.569
  • To the apostle paul.
  • 00:12:40.569 --> 00:12:42.571
  • And paul himself said, "i received from the lord
  • 00:12:42.571 --> 00:12:46.508
  • That which i delivered to you.
  • 00:12:46.508 --> 00:12:48.177
  • The same night he was betrayed."
  • 00:12:48.177 --> 00:12:49.879
  • In other words, he didn't get it
  • 00:12:49.879 --> 00:12:51.280
  • From matthew, he didn't get it
  • 00:12:51.280 --> 00:12:53.082
  • From mark, luke, or john.
  • 00:12:53.082 --> 00:12:56.585
  • He got it from the lord.
  • 00:12:56.585 --> 00:12:58.487
  • So, let's go back to 1 corinthians 10,
  • 00:12:58.487 --> 00:13:00.456
  • The context.
  • 00:13:00.456 --> 00:13:01.891
  • All right, verse 13, okay.
  • 00:13:01.891 --> 00:13:04.560
  • Now, "the cup of blessing which we bless,
  • 00:13:04.560 --> 00:13:06.629
  • Is it not the communion of the blood of christ?
  • 00:13:06.629 --> 00:13:09.131
  • The bread which we break, is it not the communion
  • 00:13:09.131 --> 00:13:10.666
  • Of the body of christ?"
  • 00:13:10.666 --> 00:13:12.001
  • So the context is very, very clear, people, all right?
  • 00:13:12.001 --> 00:13:14.637
  • It's talking-- because all of a sudden
  • 00:13:14.637 --> 00:13:15.971
  • He talks about communion.
  • 00:13:15.971 --> 00:13:17.306
  • Doesn't make sense.
  • 00:13:17.306 --> 00:13:18.641
  • And knowing the apostle paul,
  • 00:13:18.641 --> 00:13:19.975
  • He's a very systematic teacher, okay?
  • 00:13:19.975 --> 00:13:23.846
  • He's very intelligent.
  • 00:13:23.846 --> 00:13:25.414
  • But when it comes to the bible,
  • 00:13:25.414 --> 00:13:27.583
  • God orchestrates everything.
  • 00:13:27.583 --> 00:13:30.586
  • No verse is taken out of context.
  • 00:13:30.586 --> 00:13:33.289
  • I've shown you the verses before, "they sat down
  • 00:13:33.289 --> 00:13:35.224
  • To eat and drink, and they rose up to play."
  • 00:13:35.224 --> 00:13:37.693
  • Now, let's go to verse 16, on the screen.
  • 00:13:37.693 --> 00:13:42.097
  • "the cup of blessing which we bless,
  • 00:13:42.097 --> 00:13:44.400
  • Is it not the communion of the blood of christ?"
  • 00:13:44.400 --> 00:13:46.402
  • This word, communion is the word "koinonia,"
  • 00:13:46.402 --> 00:13:48.971
  • Which is the word for fellowship, all right?
  • 00:13:48.971 --> 00:13:51.840
  • Association. it's not just fellowship.
  • 00:13:51.840 --> 00:13:54.276
  • You can have fellowship with me, but i just met you yesterday,
  • 00:13:54.276 --> 00:13:57.012
  • All right?
  • 00:13:57.012 --> 00:13:58.347
  • In other words, it's a fellowship,
  • 00:13:58.347 --> 00:13:59.682
  • But it's a fellowship over tea, all right, kind of association.
  • 00:13:59.682 --> 00:14:03.385
  • But the word down there is actually intimate.
  • 00:14:03.385 --> 00:14:05.721
  • It's intimate participation.
  • 00:14:05.721 --> 00:14:08.324
  • Intimate participation. are you listening?
  • 00:14:08.324 --> 00:14:12.194
  • This word would be used also in the idea of a husband
  • 00:14:12.194 --> 00:14:18.133
  • And a wife being intimate.
  • 00:14:18.133 --> 00:14:20.836
  • They say things to each other, all right?
  • 00:14:20.836 --> 00:14:23.639
  • There are things that they say and do
  • 00:14:23.639 --> 00:14:25.607
  • That no one else is privy to.
  • 00:14:25.607 --> 00:14:27.876
  • They're intimately participating.
  • 00:14:27.876 --> 00:14:30.479
  • The thoughts, spirit, soul, and body, okay?
  • 00:14:30.479 --> 00:14:33.182
  • That's the idea of communion.
  • 00:14:33.182 --> 00:14:34.650
  • Are you with me so far?
  • 00:14:34.650 --> 00:14:36.618
  • Are you blessed? amen?
  • 00:14:36.618 --> 00:14:39.388
  • Now, keep that in mind, okay? what is that?
  • 00:14:39.388 --> 00:14:42.091
  • Communion.
  • 00:14:42.091 --> 00:14:43.759
  • Then "the bread which we break,
  • 00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:45.094
  • Is it not the communion of the body of christ?
  • 00:14:45.094 --> 00:14:47.629
  • For we, though many, are one bread and one body;
  • 00:14:47.629 --> 00:14:50.566
  • For we all partake of that one bread."
  • 00:14:50.566 --> 00:14:53.602
  • Now, it's not saying that we are all partaking
  • 00:14:53.602 --> 00:14:56.438
  • Of each other.
  • 00:14:56.438 --> 00:14:58.107
  • There are those who teach when you take the bread,
  • 00:14:58.107 --> 00:15:01.243
  • Remember this is the body of christ.
  • 00:15:01.243 --> 00:15:03.112
  • No, no, no, no, jesus never said,
  • 00:15:03.112 --> 00:15:04.613
  • "this is the mystical body of christ."
  • 00:15:04.613 --> 00:15:06.148
  • We are the body of christ, but i mean,
  • 00:15:06.148 --> 00:15:07.750
  • When he took the bread, when the bread is
  • 00:15:07.750 --> 00:15:09.351
  • With the cup of wine, it's always his physical body,
  • 00:15:09.351 --> 00:15:13.155
  • "this is my body."
  • 00:15:13.155 --> 00:15:14.590
  • He's not referring to the mystical body
  • 00:15:14.590 --> 00:15:15.958
  • That was to come.
  • 00:15:15.958 --> 00:15:17.826
  • Are you listening? and he is very precise.
  • 00:15:17.826 --> 00:15:20.963
  • "we, though many, are one bread, one body;
  • 00:15:20.963 --> 00:15:23.232
  • For we all partake of that one bread."
  • 00:15:23.232 --> 00:15:25.234
  • In other words, we are one bread, one body now,
  • 00:15:25.234 --> 00:15:27.469
  • Because we all partake of jesus's body.
  • 00:15:27.469 --> 00:15:30.305
  • You got it? now, how do we partake?
  • 00:15:30.305 --> 00:15:32.941
  • The million-dollar question that the church of jesus christ
  • 00:15:32.941 --> 00:15:35.110
  • Has is that, "i know he bore my diseases,
  • 00:15:35.110 --> 00:15:37.046
  • Not just my sins, but how do i partake that?
  • 00:15:37.046 --> 00:15:39.948
  • How do i have access to it?
  • 00:15:39.948 --> 00:15:41.850
  • How do i become a koinonia, an intimate participator,
  • 00:15:41.850 --> 00:15:46.889
  • A sharer of what happened?"
  • 00:15:46.889 --> 00:15:50.192
  • Observe israel: "are not those who eat partakers?"
  • 00:15:50.192 --> 00:15:55.531
  • In other words, when you eat the bread
  • 00:15:55.531 --> 00:15:58.600
  • And drink the cup, you become
  • 00:15:58.600 --> 00:16:01.770
  • A partaker of what jesus did at the cross.
  • 00:16:01.770 --> 00:16:06.642
  • Now, go to 1 corinthians 11,
  • 00:16:06.642 --> 00:16:08.644
  • "for this reason," singular reason,
  • 00:16:08.644 --> 00:16:10.112
  • Only one reason in the church,
  • 00:16:10.112 --> 00:16:11.447
  • "many are weak and sick among you,
  • 00:16:11.447 --> 00:16:13.882
  • And many sleep."
  • 00:16:13.882 --> 00:16:15.217
  • Sleep there is die.
  • 00:16:15.217 --> 00:16:17.352
  • Behold, i speak plainly. in those days they said sleep.
  • 00:16:17.352 --> 00:16:20.889
  • For a believer, death holds no more terror.
  • 00:16:20.889 --> 00:16:24.259
  • There's no more sting. jesus conquered death.
  • 00:16:24.259 --> 00:16:26.295
  • So, for a believer, they say they fall asleep.
  • 00:16:26.295 --> 00:16:28.564
  • A sinner dies, a believer sleeps
  • 00:16:28.564 --> 00:16:31.733
  • Until jesus raise his body from the dead, all right?
  • 00:16:31.733 --> 00:16:34.837
  • But look at this.
  • 00:16:34.837 --> 00:16:36.171
  • One reason, for one reason, not reasons.
  • 00:16:36.171 --> 00:16:39.007
  • I checked it out in the greek, the word reason is singular.
  • 00:16:39.007 --> 00:16:42.878
  • Many. kind of wish he said few.
  • 00:16:42.878 --> 00:16:44.613
  • "many are weak, sick among you, and many sleep."
  • 00:16:44.613 --> 00:16:47.783
  • What's the reason? what's the reason?
  • 00:16:47.783 --> 00:16:50.352
  • Look at the verse before that, "he who eats
  • 00:16:50.352 --> 00:16:52.721
  • And drinks in an unworthy manner."
  • 00:16:52.721 --> 00:16:54.556
  • The key is unworthy manner, "eats and drinks
  • 00:16:54.556 --> 00:16:56.658
  • Judgment to himself, not discerning the lord's body."
  • 00:16:56.658 --> 00:17:00.496
  • So, if i tell you, and you're suffering
  • 00:17:00.496 --> 00:17:02.331
  • From malaria, and i say, "i got quinine tablets,
  • 00:17:02.331 --> 00:17:05.134
  • Take this quinine tablets."
  • 00:17:05.134 --> 00:17:06.468
  • You say, "i refuse to."
  • 00:17:06.468 --> 00:17:07.803
  • I'll put it in the water, all right?
  • 00:17:07.803 --> 00:17:09.138
  • Okay, now drink it, drink it.
  • 00:17:09.138 --> 00:17:11.073
  • And you say, "i don't need a quinine business or not."
  • 00:17:11.073 --> 00:17:13.075
  • You are drinking damnation to yourself by not drinking
  • 00:17:13.075 --> 00:17:16.778
  • The solution.
  • 00:17:16.778 --> 00:17:18.580
  • The world as it is, is dying.
  • 00:17:18.580 --> 00:17:21.750
  • It's not as if, "oh, you have sinned,
  • 00:17:21.750 --> 00:17:23.285
  • You take the lord's supper, then you die."
  • 00:17:23.285 --> 00:17:25.053
  • No, no, no. the world is dying.
  • 00:17:25.053 --> 00:17:27.789
  • That's why the same chapter says
  • 00:17:27.789 --> 00:17:29.758
  • That god doesn't want us to be condemned with the world.
  • 00:17:29.758 --> 00:17:32.127
  • There's a condemnation in this world
  • 00:17:32.127 --> 00:17:33.662
  • That was released, a divine sentence
  • 00:17:33.662 --> 00:17:35.764
  • That was released ever since adam sinned.
  • 00:17:35.764 --> 00:17:39.268
  • And that divine sentence includes sickness.
  • 00:17:39.268 --> 00:17:43.539
  • Communion is the way out.
  • 00:17:43.539 --> 00:17:45.941
  • Is the ekbasis.
  • 00:17:45.941 --> 00:17:48.710
  • Are you listening, people, amen?
  • 00:17:48.710 --> 00:17:50.879
  • So, not discerning the lord's body.
  • 00:17:50.879 --> 00:17:52.614
  • So, the problem is that they knew the cup.
  • 00:17:52.614 --> 00:17:54.416
  • Majority of denominations that practice,
  • 00:17:54.416 --> 00:17:58.320
  • Church denomination,
  • 00:17:58.320 --> 00:17:59.655
  • And i speak this with a heavy heart.
  • 00:17:59.655 --> 00:18:01.790
  • They have communion, but many-a-times
  • 00:18:01.790 --> 00:18:03.792
  • They lump the bread and the cup as one.
  • 00:18:03.792 --> 00:18:07.563
  • Thank you, lord, for forgiving us of our sins.
  • 00:18:07.563 --> 00:18:09.665
  • You died for our sins. hardly mention disease.
  • 00:18:09.665 --> 00:18:12.801
  • They're not discerning the lord's body.
  • 00:18:12.801 --> 00:18:14.369
  • The word discerning, diakrino, to make a separation
  • 00:18:14.369 --> 00:18:17.506
  • Between the bread and the cup, okay?
  • 00:18:17.506 --> 00:18:21.944
  • All right, so isaiah says, "surely he has borne our griefs
  • 00:18:21.944 --> 00:18:24.046
  • And carried our sorrows."
  • 00:18:24.046 --> 00:18:25.380
  • Now, this is very unfortunate, very unfortunate.
  • 00:18:25.380 --> 00:18:28.150
  • Grief and sorrows are the hebrew word "kholee"
  • 00:18:28.150 --> 00:18:33.522
  • And "makov," all right?
  • 00:18:33.522 --> 00:18:35.657
  • Kholee is diseases, makov is pains.
  • 00:18:35.657 --> 00:18:37.626
  • I remember sharing with one of a messianic jewish man
  • 00:18:37.626 --> 00:18:41.763
  • Who is a pastor in jerusalem, a very dignified man.
  • 00:18:41.763 --> 00:18:45.167
  • Today he's with the lord.
  • 00:18:45.167 --> 00:18:46.501
  • Many years ago, i sat down with him
  • 00:18:46.501 --> 00:18:48.170
  • And i shared with him.
  • 00:18:48.170 --> 00:18:49.504
  • And you know, he's from the persuasion,
  • 00:18:49.504 --> 00:18:50.839
  • He don't believe that healing is for today, all right?
  • 00:18:50.839 --> 00:18:53.108
  • And i shared with him isaiah 53.
  • 00:18:53.108 --> 00:18:55.143
  • And i said, "is this kholee and makov?
  • 00:18:55.143 --> 00:18:59.748
  • He read it, "yeah, mm-mm-mm."
  • 00:18:59.748 --> 00:19:02.217
  • Very dignified elderly man.
  • 00:19:02.217 --> 00:19:05.287
  • And i said, "is kholee diseases
  • 00:19:05.287 --> 00:19:08.390
  • Or is it spiritual diseases like some scholars
  • 00:19:08.390 --> 00:19:10.192
  • Try to tell us?"
  • 00:19:10.192 --> 00:19:11.526
  • He said, "no, it's always physical diseases."
  • 00:19:11.526 --> 00:19:14.563
  • And what about pains, physical pains?
  • 00:19:14.563 --> 00:19:17.099
  • Then you read the whole thing, "hm," he said.
  • 00:19:17.099 --> 00:19:19.935
  • "hm."
  • 00:19:19.935 --> 00:19:21.536
  • He was very interested, all right?
  • 00:19:21.536 --> 00:19:23.839
  • Look at youngs, who is-- young's translation
  • 00:19:23.839 --> 00:19:25.707
  • Of the bible, or young is an amazing scholar.
  • 00:19:25.707 --> 00:19:28.710
  • Young's concordance, strong and young's.
  • 00:19:28.710 --> 00:19:30.479
  • You must have three concordants in your life:
  • 00:19:30.479 --> 00:19:32.481
  • Strong concordance, young's concordance,
  • 00:19:32.481 --> 00:19:34.483
  • And cruden's.
  • 00:19:34.483 --> 00:19:35.817
  • So you become young, strong, and crude, all right?
  • 00:19:35.817 --> 00:19:38.620
  • So, look at young's translation.
  • 00:19:38.620 --> 00:19:41.089
  • "surely our sicknesses he has borne, and our pains--
  • 00:19:41.089 --> 00:19:46.194
  • He has carried them."
  • 00:19:46.194 --> 00:19:47.596
  • Is there another quotation of this?
  • 00:19:47.596 --> 00:19:48.930
  • Yes, thank god for jesus's ministry.
  • 00:19:48.930 --> 00:19:50.999
  • Matthew 8, matthew 8, "that it might be fulfilled,"
  • 00:19:50.999 --> 00:19:53.969
  • This is new testament, "that it might be fulfilled
  • 00:19:53.969 --> 00:19:55.737
  • Which was spoken by isaiah the prophet,
  • 00:19:55.737 --> 00:19:57.973
  • Saying: 'he himself took our infirmities
  • 00:19:57.973 --> 00:20:01.743
  • And bore our sicknesses.'"
  • 00:20:01.743 --> 00:20:04.112
  • And here refers to physical infirmities
  • 00:20:04.112 --> 00:20:07.215
  • And weaknesses and infirmities
  • 00:20:07.215 --> 00:20:10.152
  • And diseases and pains.
  • 00:20:10.152 --> 00:20:12.187
  • Very, very clear.
  • 00:20:12.187 --> 00:20:14.289
  • "uh, pastor prince, uh, are you sure?"
  • 00:20:14.289 --> 00:20:16.191
  • Okay, since you're not convinced now,
  • 00:20:16.191 --> 00:20:17.659
  • You little voice of unbelief,
  • 00:20:17.659 --> 00:20:19.161
  • Let me show you verse 16, the context.
  • 00:20:19.161 --> 00:20:22.164
  • Don't take the verse out of context.
  • 00:20:22.164 --> 00:20:23.532
  • The context, verse 16, "when evening had come,
  • 00:20:23.532 --> 00:20:25.634
  • They brought to jesus many who were demon-possessed.
  • 00:20:25.634 --> 00:20:28.203
  • And he cast out the spirits with a word."
  • 00:20:28.203 --> 00:20:31.173
  • So, there's deliverance from demons.
  • 00:20:31.173 --> 00:20:32.774
  • "and healed all."
  • 00:20:32.774 --> 00:20:35.610
  • I'm so glad he healed all.
  • 00:20:35.610 --> 00:20:40.315
  • I wonder if people read their bibles.
  • 00:20:40.315 --> 00:20:42.084
  • I say, i wonder if people read their bibles.
  • 00:20:42.084 --> 00:20:44.186
  • He didn't heal everybody in israel.
  • 00:20:44.186 --> 00:20:45.987
  • He healed all who came to him. keep that in mind.
  • 00:20:45.987 --> 00:20:49.925
  • "healed all who are sick, that it might be fulfilled
  • 00:20:49.925 --> 00:20:52.861
  • Which was spoken by isaiah the prophet,
  • 00:20:52.861 --> 00:20:54.496
  • 'himself took our infirmities.'"
  • 00:20:54.496 --> 00:20:56.665
  • So it's very clear the context refers to physical diseases,
  • 00:20:56.665 --> 00:20:59.534
  • Physical healing.
  • 00:20:59.534 --> 00:21:01.636
  • Bible interpret bible, amen?
  • 00:21:01.636 --> 00:21:08.510
  • Wow, do you know why i'm preaching this?
  • 00:21:08.510 --> 00:21:09.945
  • I'm preaching this so that when your loved one
  • 00:21:09.945 --> 00:21:12.280
  • Or someone has been given a bad diagnosis,
  • 00:21:12.280 --> 00:21:15.450
  • Don't just run and take communion
  • 00:21:15.450 --> 00:21:17.319
  • With an empty heart, an empty revelation, empty mind.
  • 00:21:17.319 --> 00:21:21.690
  • Wait, listen to the sermon.
  • 00:21:21.690 --> 00:21:23.859
  • At the end, partake.
  • 00:21:23.859 --> 00:21:26.094
  • Something, something will happen because everything
  • 00:21:26.094 --> 00:21:28.930
  • About god's things, right, must work with faith.
  • 00:21:28.930 --> 00:21:31.800
  • Faith comes by hearing, hearing, hearing
  • 00:21:31.800 --> 00:21:34.136
  • By the word of christ.
  • 00:21:34.136 --> 00:21:35.570
  • Are you listening, people, amen?
  • 00:21:35.570 --> 00:21:38.774
  • You know, everything happened because of man's sin.
  • 00:21:38.774 --> 00:21:41.443
  • I'm bringing this to a close.
  • 00:21:41.443 --> 00:21:42.778
  • Everything happened because of men's sin.
  • 00:21:42.778 --> 00:21:44.780
  • Men ate from the tree he shouldn't.
  • 00:21:44.780 --> 00:21:46.782
  • Guess what?
  • 00:21:46.782 --> 00:21:48.116
  • God says eat your way back into the blessings.
  • 00:21:48.116 --> 00:21:50.318
  • Eat your way back into the blessings.
  • 00:21:50.318 --> 00:21:52.821
  • Are you listening? by the body of jesus.
  • 00:21:52.821 --> 00:21:55.490
  • It might be the body of jesus.
  • 00:21:55.490 --> 00:21:58.760
  • Remember the disciples in luke 24?
  • 00:21:58.760 --> 00:22:01.530
  • I told you, right? did i give you luke 24?
  • 00:22:01.530 --> 00:22:04.099
  • I didn't?
  • 00:22:04.099 --> 00:22:05.667
  • I didn't give you luke 24?
  • 00:22:05.667 --> 00:22:07.369
  • Real fast, okay, luke 24, when jesus rose from the dead,
  • 00:22:07.369 --> 00:22:09.571
  • Same day, real fast, okay?
  • 00:22:09.571 --> 00:22:11.273
  • I cannot afford to give you this and then give another service,
  • 00:22:11.273 --> 00:22:14.576
  • All right, y'all will come back.
  • 00:22:14.576 --> 00:22:16.111
  • Luke 24, real quick, "now it came to pass,
  • 00:22:16.111 --> 00:22:18.380
  • As jesus sat at the table with them, he took bread."
  • 00:22:18.380 --> 00:22:20.248
  • Now, this is after he rose from the dead,
  • 00:22:20.248 --> 00:22:21.850
  • The same evening, the same evening
  • 00:22:21.850 --> 00:22:24.286
  • After he rose from the dead.
  • 00:22:24.286 --> 00:22:26.354
  • He's at the place called emmaus with the two disciples,
  • 00:22:26.354 --> 00:22:28.323
  • I believe husband and wife, all right?
  • 00:22:28.323 --> 00:22:30.325
  • And he took the place of the divine host.
  • 00:22:30.325 --> 00:22:32.594
  • He played the host.
  • 00:22:32.594 --> 00:22:33.929
  • "he took the bread, he blessed, broke it,
  • 00:22:33.929 --> 00:22:36.231
  • Gave it to them.
  • 00:22:36.231 --> 00:22:37.566
  • Their eyes were opened, and they knew him;
  • 00:22:37.566 --> 00:22:40.035
  • And he vanished from their sight."
  • 00:22:40.035 --> 00:22:42.938
  • When did they-- their eyes opened?
  • 00:22:42.938 --> 00:22:46.141
  • When did they know him?
  • 00:22:46.141 --> 00:22:48.777
  • When he broke the bread.
  • 00:22:48.777 --> 00:22:53.982
  • Can i submit to you, communion is the tree of life.
  • 00:22:53.982 --> 00:22:58.753
  • He is your righteousness, he is your righteousness,
  • 00:22:58.753 --> 00:23:01.523
  • He is your holiness.
  • 00:23:01.523 --> 00:23:04.526
  • Are you blessed? are you blessed?
  • 00:23:04.526 --> 00:23:07.796
  • You know, this is the restoration part,
  • 00:23:07.796 --> 00:23:09.564
  • And then you know what happened?
  • 00:23:09.564 --> 00:23:10.899
  • He disappeared.
  • 00:23:10.899 --> 00:23:12.234
  • By the way, he disappeared, that doesn't mean he left them.
  • 00:23:12.234 --> 00:23:13.702
  • He vanished out of their sight, he was still there,
  • 00:23:13.702 --> 00:23:15.036
  • He'll never leave them.
  • 00:23:15.036 --> 00:23:17.005
  • They walked back 7 miles.
  • 00:23:17.005 --> 00:23:19.207
  • They just walked 7 miles,
  • 00:23:19.207 --> 00:23:20.542
  • But after communion, they can walk 7 miles again.
  • 00:23:20.542 --> 00:23:23.411
  • They went back to find the other disciples
  • 00:23:23.411 --> 00:23:24.846
  • And say, "hey, hey, we saw the lord,
  • 00:23:24.846 --> 00:23:26.615
  • We saw the lord."
  • 00:23:26.615 --> 00:23:27.949
  • Let's follow the story there.
  • 00:23:27.949 --> 00:23:29.284
  • "and they told about the things that had happened
  • 00:23:29.284 --> 00:23:30.619
  • On the road and how he was known to them,"
  • 00:23:30.619 --> 00:23:32.554
  • How he was known to them, "in the breaking of bread."
  • 00:23:32.554 --> 00:23:35.590
  • He told the rest. now watch this.
  • 00:23:35.590 --> 00:23:37.893
  • "now as they said these things,"
  • 00:23:37.893 --> 00:23:41.129
  • About the breaking of bread, "jesus himself stood
  • 00:23:41.129 --> 00:23:43.431
  • In the midst of them, and said to them, 'shalom.'"
  • 00:23:43.431 --> 00:23:48.136
  • When they were talking about the breaking of bread,
  • 00:23:48.136 --> 00:23:49.938
  • The lord loves it.
  • 00:23:49.938 --> 00:23:52.507
  • That's why he's showing up even now, amen?
  • 00:23:52.507 --> 00:23:56.678
  • As they spoke about the breaking of bread,
  • 00:23:56.678 --> 00:23:59.214
  • Jesus appeared.
  • 00:23:59.214 --> 00:24:00.949
  • Do you think he just came from heaven at that time?
  • 00:24:00.949 --> 00:24:02.918
  • No, he was there all the time.
  • 00:24:02.918 --> 00:24:05.153
  • He never left them.
  • 00:24:05.153 --> 00:24:08.089
  • In other words, from bread to bread.
  • 00:24:08.089 --> 00:24:11.459
  • He disappeared, he reappeared.
  • 00:24:11.459 --> 00:24:13.929
  • Take this to proclaim the lord's death till he comes.
  • 00:24:13.929 --> 00:24:18.767
  • Primarily till he comes means when he come
  • 00:24:18.767 --> 00:24:21.002
  • In the clouds to get all of us
  • 00:24:21.002 --> 00:24:22.337
  • In the rapture, but till he comes,
  • 00:24:22.337 --> 00:24:24.005
  • Keep on taking till he comes
  • 00:24:24.005 --> 00:24:25.440
  • Can also mean till he come to manifest himself to you.
  • 00:24:25.440 --> 00:24:28.476
