Welcome back to our study of the book of Hebrews, today we’ll begin chapter 8 and only zero in on verses 1 through 6. Let’s quickly recall what we discussed last week. In the second part of chapter 7, we saw that Jesus was likened to Melchizedek, the High Priest of God introduced in Genesis 14 whose ministry was presented as being endless. God purposely introduced this mysterious figure in the OT to prepare His people for the coming of His Son whose priestly order was going to be after Melchizedek. We also saw that perfection, God’s work of salvation couldn’t be made complete under the levitical priesthood because of the weakness of the law and the priests. Therefore the work of Jesus was essential and necessary for the completion of the redemptive purposes of God. Finally we saw that because His life is endless, Jesus has also replaced the levites. And there are many other reasons why He is the perfect High Priest- He sinless, unstained, separated from sinners, innocent and exalted above the heavens.

hello good morning and uh welcome back to our study of the book of hebrews today we are going to look at chapter
0:06
eight and only cover verses one through six now um if you were here last week we
0:14
discussed uh some very important things about uh jesus and his ministry that was likened to that of melchizedek but
0:21
before i talk about my intro uh this is to me this is the time of the year that
0:27
i don't like the most because it's getting dark early and as you can see uh the lighting here is kind
0:34
of a little bit like somber that's because it's it's like 5 30 in the morning and it's still dark outside
0:40
and i don't really like this time of the year but uh god made the seasons and we
0:46
are to be uh productive whether in season or narcissism so it
0:51
doesn't matter you know god is in control and god is sovereign so i hope that you have a great week so now
0:58
let's go back to my intro and talk about uh what we talked about we discussed last week in the book of um hebrews so
1:06
in the second part of chapter seven we saw that jesus was likened to melchizedek the high priest of god
1:12
introduced in genesis 14. and his ministry uh in the scripture was
1:17
presented as being endless and god we saw that purposely introduced on this mysterious figure in the old
1:24
testament to prepare his people and us for the coming of his son whose priestly
1:29
order was going to be after this melchizedek okay and we also saw that perfection and
1:35
when i say perfection i'm not talking about uh being perfect i'm talking about god's work of salvation being complete
1:43
and that the god's work of salvation could not be made conflict under the leviticus
1:48
priesthood because of the weakness of the law and the priests and if we if you
1:54
were here in chapter five we discussed how the priests sometimes were weak um
1:59
because they were being made they were weakened by their own sinful nature and they were sometimes callous if you go to
2:05
first samuel chapter one and two we read about eli the high priest who
2:11
uh when when henna came to make her petitions before the lord he he thought of her as a drunken woman that's because
2:18
his mind at the time wasn't he wasn't compassionate he didn't have compassion because he couldn't really relate to this woman and he treated her like she
2:25
was nothing and she was useless he actually called her a worthless woman
2:30
and she she complained about it she said do not take your servant as being a worthless woman for i've been here
2:36
pouring out my soul before the lord because i was supposed to be talking to you because you were the high priest but
2:42
eli as we saw we see in chapter in samuel eli and his sons were a little
2:47
bit corrupted okay his sons were not role models they actually desecrated the
2:52
sacrifices of god and that was a recurring thing with the the the high priest under the levites uh under the
3:00
leviticus priesthood because some of them just were colors and and we saw how
3:05
weak that system was because even under the old system we talked about how uh sins could not be washed
3:12
away they were only people were only declared uh ceremonially claimed so chapter seven focus on the necessity and
3:19
and the reason why jesus work on the cross was essential and necessary for the completion of the redemptive
3:25
purposes of god and then finally we we saw that because his life is endless
3:31
jesus has also replaced the levite he has completely replaced them he has
3:37
surpassed them and he has replaced them because his life is endless and we also saw that he was the perfect high priest
3:45
on behalf of man and in service to god because he is sinless he is unstained he is separated from
3:52
sinners not isolated but separated because he's set apart and he's innocent
3:58
and he is exalted above the heavens because we saw in chapter one that after making purification for sins he sat down
4:05
at the right hand of the majesty on high and we also discussed the fact that
4:11
because jesus was after melchizedek and because he was of the tribe of judah he
4:16
couldn't be high priest if you were on earth so therefore the law had to change
4:21
for jesus to be accepted as a high priest because under the law only levites were allowed to be high priest
4:28
so therefore the change in priesthood basically meant that there was a change
4:33
in the law as well so that's what we were talking about now in in chapter 8
4:40
the writer is going to cement his argument he's not going to say listen this is the kind of high priest that we
4:45
have and i'm telling you he is basically i'm not saying me but he's telling them to
4:50
pretty much uh turn away from the old system and embrace the new okay these were people
4:56
the people that he was talking to were going through persecution and for them they wanted to hold on to something so they were being tempted to
5:03
go back to the old system under which they could go to an actual sanctuary and
5:08
offer uh their lames and and then the priest will intercede for them so they wanted to go back to that to avoid the
5:14
persecution and we also do that in our own lives when sometimes instead of going to god directly
5:21
we want to go through a little fabrications okay other signs that we make whatever we make whatever it is
5:27
that you use as a substitute is over with so that's what the writer is saying here so now we're gonna look
5:33
at verses one through six and we're going to see how he's going to begin to introduce uh the better promises of the
5:40
new covenant now we're not going to talk about the the better covenant today but we are going to he's going to the
5:45
argument that he's going to be discussing is going to lead up to that okay so let's go and read verses 1
5:51
through 6 of hebrews chapter 8 now listen to the word of god
5:58
now the point in what we are saying is this we have such a high priest one who is
6:05
seated at the right hand of the throne of the majesty in heaven a minister in the holy places in the
6:13
true tent that the lord set up not man for every high priest is appointed to
6:20
offer gifts and sacrifices thus it is necessary for this priest also
6:25
to have something to offer now if we are on earth he will not be a
6:30
priest at all since there are priests who offer gifts according to the law
6:36
they serve a copy and a shadow of the heavenly things for when moses was about to erect the
6:43
tent he was instructed by god saying see that you make
6:49
everything according to the pattern that was shown to you on the mountain but as it is christ has obtained a
6:57
ministry that is as much more excellent than the old as the covenant immediate
7:04
is better since it is enacted on better promises
7:10
this is the word of god now what is the writer trying to tell us today in those
7:15
verses this is what we're going to be looking at so basically uh
7:21
verse 1 through 2 read now the point in what we are saying is this
7:27
we have such a high priest one was seated at the right hand of the throne of the majesty in heaven a minister in
7:34
the holy places in the true tenth that the lord set up not man so basically he has been giving them
7:42
bullet points after bullet points about jesus and his priestly order after the order of melchizedek
7:48
okay so now he's saying the application of everything that i've said to you in chapter seven
7:54
comes in chapter eight he begins those verses by saying listen i've said all these things to you in
8:00
chapter seven what i'm trying to say to you is this this is the kind of high priest that we have
8:05
so the writer is saying that his reason for his earlier argument is very clear jesus is seated
8:12
at the right hand of the throne of the majesty in heaven not on earth but in heaven so let that sink in for a little
8:19
bit okay now he's talking to guys that are listening to these words for the first time see we've listened to this
8:25
over and over for them this was something new okay because they after an earthly tabernacle where they could go to now
8:32
he's telling them listen the new high priest that we have that i've told you about is seated
8:38
not on earth but in the heavenly realms because he has passed through the heavens he is sitting at the tone of the
8:44
majesty on high this is where i want you to put your gaze on that's why he's telling his readers so he ministers
8:51
jesus in the actual tabernacle of god in the heavenly places
8:57
the one built by god himself not an earthly one that was defiled by man's
9:03
hands see that's what he's trying to tell him listen stop going to the temple
9:09
stop going there because yes it's not going to help you anymore because what we have now is a high priest that is
9:16
actually in the actual tabernacle he is in the tabernacle that god himself has
9:22
built not the one that they built on earth okay not that that replica one but the actual tabernacle so he's basically
9:31
encouraging his readers to completely turn away from the old system once and
9:36
for all because it is obsolete it is useless and can do absolutely nothing
9:43
for them all right so this is not like a theoretical thing he's not just saying listen imagine that you're you are in
9:50
the tabernacle in heaven now this is actually where things are taking place in heavenly realm okay jesus is actually
9:58
is really seated at the right hand of god it is a reality it's not something that's just
10:03
theoretical it's not something that's just an imagination of our mind now as we saw in chapter one
10:09
after making purification for sins he sat down at the right hand of the majesty on her he literally sat down
10:16
this is where he is because god glorified his humanity and he see and then god seated him at
10:22
his right hand where he ministers and intercedes for mankind that's where jesus is and this is what
10:28
he was trying to convey to his reader saying listen i've said all these things in chapter seven but now i'm gonna give you the climax of
10:35
everything that i've told you jesus is actually seated in that heavenly place this is where he is and he's actually
10:41
there okay again you gotta read uh when you read these verses
10:47
trying to think about what those guys were listening to and trying to think about what they were thinking they had the high priest they had the
10:54
old system and that worked for them for a long time this is all they had so now the writer is not telling them
11:00
listen i want you to turn away from that there's going to be resistance because that's all they've been used to and they
11:06
are being persecuted now they may have made a profession of faith in the beginning but because of the persecution
11:11
they were going back because that was more convenient for them so he's telling them no turn away from me because i'm
11:17
going to give you argument after argument based on the scripture to show you that the old system is done with
11:24
now the question is do i really believe that this is the reality that we have in jesus
11:30
the high priest after the order of melchizedek okay if i believe it do i live in the reality of that truth
11:38
because we can all say it yeah jesus is seated at the right hand of god in the majesty
11:43
on eye but do you believe that and if you do believe that do you live in the reality of where he seated peter
11:50
tells us cast all your burdens upon him for he cares for you do you live in that
11:56
reality do i live in that reality when i have something that's going on in my opinion do i go to the lord
12:02
or do i try to figure out other ways to get my problem solved now i don't just go to god because i have problems
12:09
but you want to fellowship you want to have fellowship with god because of jesus because because of who he is
12:15
our sister was talking i was listening to one of his sermons and he said yes we love god
12:21
because of all that he's done he has done for us but do we love jesus simply because of
12:27
who he is because he's the perfect perfect human being
12:33
okay god took upon the flesh so in jesus we have everything that we need because
12:38
he is worthy of our praise and our worship now think about the most perfect person
12:45
that you know there's none like that but he is the most perfect being so we worship him because of who he is this is
12:51
why we want to worship because of who he is not because of what he has done only
12:57
but because of who he is okay so that's just a point that i wanted to
13:02
make through this now in verses three to five we read the following again let's listen
13:09
let's try and capture what the writer is trying to show here he's he has a logical argument okay he goes for every
13:16
high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices thus it is necessary for
13:22
this priest also to have something to offer now if he if he were on earth he would
13:29
not be a priest at all since there are priests who offer gifts according to the
13:34
law deserve a copy and a shadow of the heavenly things for when moses was about
13:40
to erect the tent he was instructed by god saying see that you make
13:46
everything according to the pattern that was shown you on the mountain see we have again to recall the
13:52
background to this letter and do our best to follow on the writer's logic he was addressing
13:58
again like i say people who were being persecuted because of their belief in jesus and they were being tempted to go
14:04
back to the old system to avoid being the persecution so he writes this letter
14:10
to prove to them that the old system is over with which i mentioned earlier so
14:15
he has just presented in chapter 7 that jesus has replaced the old system because he is a high priest after the
14:22
order of melchizedek whose life is endless and whose ministry is endless so but for his readers this may just sound
14:29
like something theoretical which i mentioned earlier okay now the levite the thing is they actually had an
14:35
earthly tabernacle it was real people could go there in times of need they could actually go it was a physical
14:42
place that they could see and experience right so the writer is anticipating that
14:47
his readers might be wrestling with the location of jesus tabernacle because
14:52
they are probably sitting there listening to all the words that he's saying he's saying listen yeah you've told us jesus in the heavenly realm you
14:59
told us all of this you told us about how he he has replaced the levites but we don't know where he is we can't see
15:06
him like you're saying all these beautiful things but we cannot see him physically
15:11
we want to hold on to something where is he he's only he's already mentioned that
15:17
jesus is in the heavenly places he has passed through the heavens so now he's going to develop his point a little more
15:23
okay so he's saying to his readers listen the levite as we saw in chapter five were appointed for one purpose and
15:30
the purpose if you go back to verses one two three of chapter five the scripture says
15:35
for every high priest chosen from among men is appointed to act on behalf of men
15:41
in relation to god thus their main purpose to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins
15:49
he can deal gently with the ignorant and wayward since he himself is beset with weakness
15:55
because of this he is obligated to offer sacrifices for his own sins just as he
16:01
does for those other people so that was one of the main function of the high priest
16:06
to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins and he the the higher priest had to be
16:12
pretty much compassionate with the ignorant and wayward and we talked about how willful disobedience
16:19
for willful disobedience there was no atonement for that there was nothing for it god made no provisions for such sins
16:25
okay so the high priest could be had to be compassionate and he offered gifts and sacrifices for sins
16:32
and since this was the case with the levite jesus also had to certainly offer
16:37
something somewhere now where is he okay and what he offered
16:43
was his life he died on the cross for our sins and where he offered it is in the actual
16:49
tabernacle of god erected in the heavenly realms by god himself okay and
16:55
we sing usually worthy is the lamb that was slain for us god
17:01
provided a lame the lamb of god which abraham even makes a reference to in
17:08
where he goes to sacrifice isaac and isaac says father where's the lamb and he said what
17:13
god will provide god made a provision for us so that we can have access into the heavenly places and then we talked
17:21
about last week we talked about when jesus died the curtain was taught was torn from top to bottom
17:28
thus indicating that god had made now provision and the holy of holies was
17:34
accessible to men okay that that was all symbolic because the tabernacle on earth
17:39
was was supposed to serve as a copy okay now if you go to um romans 1 verse 1 to 3 the scripture
17:47
shows that jesus satisfied the wrath of god because let's re let's read the verse here in romans 1 verse 1 23 listen
17:54
to what the scriptures say paul a servant of christ jesus called to be an apostle set apart for
18:01
the gospel of god which he promised beforehand through his prophets in the holy scriptures
18:07
concerning his son who was descended from david according to the flesh and was declared to be the son of god
18:14
listen to this and was declared to be the son of god in power according to the spirit of holiness by
18:20
his resurrection from the dead jesus christ our lord
18:25
so that's one point that the writer's saying is making here he's saying that jesus ministers in the heavenly places
18:32
he's talking to his readers you want to know where his location is yes his location is in heaven the actual place
18:39
the actual place where the tabernacle of god is erected not on earth because on earth he could not be
18:46
a what a priest because of what because he was not of the tribe of levi so he had to be his
18:52
his ministry had to be done somewhere else and that somewhere else was in heavenly places and what he
19:00
offered was his own life for our lives for us because he was the substitute
19:06
for us we sinned and god fought upon him all his wrath okay
19:12
now he takes on this in in verses four let's listen to what verse four says here verse four to five we're gonna read
19:18
those again he goes he says in verse 4 now if if he were on
19:25
earth meaning jesus would not he would not be a priest at all since there are priests who offer gifts
19:31
according to the law they serve a copy and a shadow of the heavenly things for
19:36
when moses was about to erect the tent he was instructed by god saying see that
19:41
you make everything according to the pattern that was shown you on the mountain see
19:46
jesus tabernacle could not be an earthly one since he was not of the tribe of libra as we saw just now
19:53
so it would have been impossible for his tabernacle to be on our side of eternity that would have been an impossible thing
19:58
because according to the law he could not be a priest because he was none of the tribe of levi so we saw that
20:04
the law itself had to change for jesus to be a priest okay so his tabernacle was not an earthly one
20:11
but a heavenly one okay in the heavenly places where god is actually uh has
20:16
established and that's far superior so again the right has shown that jesus has completely
20:22
obliterated the levites okay and he gives reasons uh
20:27
for the earthly tabernacle he shows that the levites and their tabernacles were actually appointed by god for what
20:33
purpose to point to jesus they served as a copy and a shadow of things to come
20:39
of the heavenly things okay they were a replica version of the heavenly tabernacle that's what they were
20:45
supposed to be doing the levites main purpose was to point us to the heavenly tabernacle and that's
20:52
why he's telling his readers listen these levites were here for for a period of time
20:58
they were supposed to you be used by god to point
21:03
us and the readers to jesus they were supposed to serve as an image
21:08
of the real thing okay they were just an image of the real thing they were just supposed to be a representation of what
21:15
goes on in the heavenly places so you can see his readers are beginning to soak in and these all these truths and
21:21
say okay we see what's going on see but people got caught up with the replica instead of looking into the rail
21:28
and that's what happens to all of us most of the time we get caught up with what we can touch and feel and and then
21:33
we don't actually see so we we pray to god so that he opens the ass of our heart to see that jesus
21:39
is actually in the real place the one what we have that is like in front of us the physical one is just
21:46
what a representation of what goes on and now it's the same thing with churches
21:51
the church now is the house of god we call the church the house of god because we are going into the house of god the
21:57
church serves just as a what i said i said i said replica because we go there
22:02
to worship but when we worship that we are actually worshiping in the heavenly places so this is why when we go into the house of
22:08
god the church we need to come correct we are so cavalier about the way we come
22:15
into the holy the holy places like you come to church we have no reference at all because we've seen we
22:22
are seeing this thing and we say oh this is just a church these are just views this is just a podium this is just uh so
22:28
we don't have a sense of the holy if we truly knew that when we came that
22:34
we were worshiping that we were actually entering the holy of holies where god is seated in jesus
22:41
at his right hand i mean we will not be so cavalier so that's what he's trying to tell his readers here listen
22:47
listen the place where you're actually going is the heavenly place where jesus is seated at the right hand of god
22:54
so keep your mind on that so and then the writer proves his point by disclosing a conversation between
23:01
moses and god and that seals his argument in exodus 25 40 and god gave
23:08
instructions to moses on how to build the sanctuary the tabernacle and in
23:13
verse 40 we read the following verse the scripture says and see that you
23:19
make them after the pattern after the pattern for them which is
23:24
being shown you on the mountain i will read the verse correctly in verse 40 we read the following in
23:31
exodus 25 listen to the scripture and see that you make them after the
23:36
pattern for them which has been shown you on the mountain so basically god is
23:42
giving some serious warning to moses he's saying listen build this tabernacle build this
23:49
sanctuary according to the pattern that i showed you the real one so basically the earthly
23:55
one was just a replica of what the real thing was so now the argument of the writer is so
24:02
clear he's giving them his punchline he's saying listen you think i'm playing do you think i'm
24:08
fabricating these things god himself gave instructions to moses about he
24:13
stopped an occult in heaven see he was basically saying to moses
24:20
build this according to what i've showed you so this earthy tabernacle was it's just an inferior one and it's just a copy and
24:27
a shadow of the real one so long before the levites were even appointed to serve in an earthly
24:34
tabernacle god showed that the actual real tabernacle is in heavenly places and this is where
24:40
jesus is actually ministering now do you see how he's progressed progressing in
24:45
his argument he's saying listen we actually have such a high priest you guys have no idea where he is
24:52
serving and i'm about to and i'm about to prove it to you this is what the writer is saying he is seated
24:58
at the right hand of god this is where he is in the actual tabernacle the one that was shown to
25:04
moses on the mountain moses that you guys respect moses understood that and
25:09
if moses understood that you guys better better pay attention so you see where
25:15
he's going where he's going with this so what a wonderful and powerful truth now can you imagine how these believers
25:21
received these words this was like a revolutionary this meant that the earthly tabernacle was actually weak
25:28
and he was going to be useless and eventually he was obsolete he was done
25:34
because he's saying quit wasting your time going to this place it's not going to help you
25:39
look to jesus he is superior to the levites because his ministry is endless he's sinless
25:45
innocent unstained separated from sinners and he's compassionate as we read in
25:51
hebrews chapter 4 verse 14 to 16 come to the throne of grace with confidence see
25:56
the people couldn't even go into the holy of holies under the levites they had to be at the outskirts they
26:02
couldn't even get in only the high priest was allowed there once a year now we actually have a place where we
26:08
can go and he's in the heavenly places the tabernacle of god so why do we like the substitutes
26:14
that's what he's trying to show them and us today okay
26:20
and and uh let's read the last portion we're gonna go to verse six but as it is
26:26
christ has obtained a ministry that is as much more excellent than the old as
26:32
the covenant immediate is better since it is enacted on better promises
26:38
so again jesus ministry as we saw in the earlier chapters is superior to that of the levites because he rests on a
26:47
covenant with better promises now we are going to talk about those promises next week as we look at the last
26:53
portions of this chapter 8. see moses as we saw was the mediator of
26:59
the old covenant okay he received the law and all the practices but unfortunately the law could not impart
27:08
life because he made nothing perfect on the contrary sin took advantage of
27:13
the law by deceiving mankind and us and work working in us all manners of evil
27:19
so if you go to romans 7 verse 7 to 14 listen to what the scripture says here listen to the scripture what then shall
27:26
we say that the law is sin by no means yet if it had not been for the law i would
27:33
not have known sin for i would not have known what is to covet if the law had not said you shall not covet
27:40
but sin seizing an opportunity through the commandment produced in me
27:47
all kinds of covetousness for apart from the lord sin lies dead
27:52
i was once alive apart from the lord but when the commandment came sin came alive and i died the very
28:00
commandment that promised life prove proved to be death to me
28:05
for sin ceasing an opportunity through the commandment deceived me and through it
28:12
killed me so the law is holy and the commandment is holy and righteous and
28:18
good the that which is good then bring death to me by no means it was sin producing
28:25
death in me through what is good in order that sin might be shown to be sin and through the commandment might become
28:32
sinful beyond measure for we know that the law is spiritual but i am of the flesh sold under sin see the law itself
28:40
was supposed to point us to jesus because the law itself could not save us
28:45
he received from these verses that the law was powerless to save mankind moreover
28:51
the priests that were supposed to be intercessors between mankind and god were also weakened by their own sinful
28:58
nature so under the old system sins could not be washed away people were only declared ceremonially clean
29:05
i've been saying this over and over and over again so you can understand it so the old system was utterly weak
29:12
okay but jesus is the founder of our salvation the pioneer of a new way that
29:18
rests on better promises we are going to talk about his promises next week okay we are told to come boldly to the
29:25
throne of grace so we have a high priest who has passed through the heavens
29:30
the right is now progressing in his argument and he's going to show that the old covenant was in indeed established
29:37
as a temporary one because it was weak and then he's going to show on the the better clauses of the new
29:44
covenant as we look at uh the rest of this portion from verse 7 through 12. but today all the all that we've picked
29:50
up and all that we've learned is he's now showing his readers that this is the kind of high priest that we have we have
29:56
this this kind of high priest in jesus and he ministers in the heavenly places he doesn't minister in an earthly
30:02
tabernacle that was defiled by man but he serves in the real
30:07
tabernacle so how does that apply to us today see to the readers at the time it was
30:14
revolutionary it was something that they had never heard before because they were used to the old
30:20
covenant again we are not jewish but reading these these things just put
30:26
yourself in that position like like you were a flyer on the wall there listening to these words like how would
30:32
that resonate with you and it does apply to us to some extent today because we
30:38
can easily fall in love with our churches and we can easily say well i need to go to pastor such and such i need to go to
30:43
this pastor because i know this pastor can help me of course the pastor is supposed to entertain for he can pray
30:48
for you but they are told to counter the throne of grace directly
30:54
to come to jesus himself now we have like friends fellowshipping with other believers is great because when we pray
31:01
together is always better but don't ever allow anybody else
31:08
to become a substitute for you because jesus is the one he's worthy of our prison we talked about how why he's
31:14
worthy of our praise because of who he is not because of what he has done only but because of who he is
31:22
so we are told to come to the throne of grace because the new covenant is built on better promises and next
31:30
week we're going to talk about those promises don't miss that because that's so important like i thought i understood these things
31:35
until i read it last week i was like wow this is incredible what god has done in jesus is incredible
31:43
but because of our own sinful nature we don't fall in love with with that because of
31:50
our own limitations we are so tainted by saying that even good news like okay we
31:55
we we are looking different it's like oh yeah yeah god did this with us that's that's great
32:01
no it is incredible and i wish my emotions and every answer
32:07
of my being could be stirred when i read those words of of what god has done in the new
32:12
covenant in jesus it's incredible so this is why we worship jesus because
32:18
it's just amazing that god we will live in what is man that you are mindful of him the son of man
32:24
you've made him a little lower than the angels and you've crowned with glory i mean this is incredible because god this is how much god loves
32:31
his creation so when people sit there and talk about how god hates he hates because he's
32:38
righteous but he has also made provision he didn't have to save any of us but he did it because he's a good god
32:45
and he saved the remnant and if he has saved you and he has brought you out of death into life you should be forever
32:52
grateful and thankful because you didn't have to i wrestle with that myself i'm like well
32:57
you know so what is everything it means everything
33:03
and i pray that the eyes of your heart will be enlightened so you can see the greatness of jesus
33:10
and the love that god has poured to his creation through jesus the new
33:16
covenant and its promises so that's what we're going to talk about next week so i hope you come back for it okay have a
33:22
wonderful day and i'll see you next monday god willing thank you
