1
00:00:00,650 --> 00:00:09,910
We just continue in consideration of the pathway

2
00:00:09,910 --> 00:00:11,990
of the glory.

3
00:00:18,900 --> 00:00:25,380
We have traced the glory through the book

4
00:00:25,380 --> 00:00:30,880
of the Acts up to a certain point,

5
00:00:35,870 --> 00:00:38,970
more especially in the life of the Apostle

6
00:00:38,970 --> 00:00:39,450
Paul.

7
00:00:39,450 --> 00:00:45,490
When we come to the end of that

8
00:00:45,490 --> 00:00:51,960
book, we find ourselves in the presence of

9
00:00:51,960 --> 00:01:01,470
a consummate and inclusive revelation, expression,

10
00:01:04,700 --> 00:01:12,660
manifestation of the glory at the end of

11
00:01:12,660 --> 00:01:17,400
the earthly course of the Lord's servant Paul.

12
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:25,360
It is impressive to note on the one

13
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:35,560
side what an accumulation of opposing forces is

14
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:40,900
represented in the last chapter of that book.

15
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:53,010
Way back there in Palestine, the imprisonment

16
00:01:53,010 --> 00:02:02,180
in Caesarea for two years, the tremendous uprising

17
00:02:02,180 --> 00:02:13,650
of the whole Jewish regime and hierarchy, and

18
00:02:13,650 --> 00:02:18,250
Gentile cooperation as in the case of the

19
00:02:18,250 --> 00:02:27,100
Lord Jesus, bitter animosity and hatred

20
00:02:28,470 --> 00:02:38,010
and scheming to destroy him, leading at last

21
00:02:38,010 --> 00:02:44,500
to his being sent to Rome for the

22
00:02:44,500 --> 00:02:49,920
final judgment, and putting into effect of all

23
00:02:49,920 --> 00:02:57,900
that uniting of earth and hell to have

24
00:02:57,900 --> 00:03:02,680
this man and what he represented done away,

25
00:03:03,740 --> 00:03:04,400
finished.

26
00:03:07,630 --> 00:03:11,110
In the midst of it, when everything seemed

27
00:03:11,110 --> 00:03:16,690
so threatening, particularly threatening to the one ambition

28
00:03:16,690 --> 00:03:22,900
of his life, to preach the word in

29
00:03:22,900 --> 00:03:27,140
the great imperial center of the world, Rome,

30
00:03:29,740 --> 00:03:35,440
every circumstance seemed to say, that will not

31
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:42,940
be, that cannot be, you never will realize

32
00:03:42,940 --> 00:03:44,800
that life desire.

33
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,860
The Lord just stood by him and said,

34
00:03:49,020 --> 00:03:53,040
fear not, Paul, as thou hast testified of

35
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:57,240
me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness

36
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:58,100
in Rome.

37
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:06,040
And through it all, the storms naturally and

38
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:11,910
the storms spiritually, the little word is, and

39
00:04:11,910 --> 00:04:13,490
so we came to Rome.

40
00:04:14,490 --> 00:04:24,330
But in Rome, a prisoner, all

41
00:04:24,330 --> 00:04:35,460
the adverse forces, spiritual, satanic and human, determined

42
00:04:35,460 --> 00:04:43,880
to bring that ministry to an end by

43
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:45,400
bringing that man to an end.

44
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:58,580
Over the wide area, things moved toward that.

45
00:05:00,850 --> 00:05:07,650
In churches in Asia, which owed their existence

46
00:05:07,650 --> 00:05:13,410
instrumentally to this man, and owed all that

47
00:05:13,410 --> 00:05:18,510
they had spiritually to him under the Lord,

48
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:22,500
they turned against him.

49
00:05:23,140 --> 00:05:25,240
All they which be in Asia, they turned

50
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:25,760
from him.

51
00:05:29,100 --> 00:05:32,660
False brethren betrayed him.

52
00:05:35,070 --> 00:05:39,850
What an accumulation of things gathered and focused

53
00:05:39,850 --> 00:05:41,570
upon that prison in Rome.

54
00:05:43,350 --> 00:05:56,340
All saying with their own meaning, limitation, curtailment,

55
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:05,540
shortening of tenure, of influence in life.

56
00:06:15,100 --> 00:06:20,800
That's the natural satanic situation very imperfectly described

57
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:26,420
and set out.

58
00:06:29,460 --> 00:06:36,340
On the human side, looked at just purely

59
00:06:36,340 --> 00:06:42,460
as a natural situation.

60
00:06:44,420 --> 00:06:51,280
Everything in that prison and those chains seems

61
00:06:51,280 --> 00:06:55,800
to say what the enemy meant and what

62
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:56,440
men meant.

63
00:06:58,200 --> 00:06:59,560
This is an end.

64
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:07,620
And this is a curtailment in every way.

65
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,860
And yet, looked at from heaven's standpoint and

66
00:07:18,860 --> 00:07:25,100
from history's standpoint, it is the most glorious

67
00:07:25,100 --> 00:07:28,360
chapter of the whole book.

68
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,820
They said limitation.

69
00:07:36,140 --> 00:07:37,820
Heaven said enlargement.

70
00:07:40,090 --> 00:07:47,690
They said narrowing down, curtailment.

71
00:07:49,330 --> 00:07:51,830
Heaven said expansion.

72
00:07:54,290 --> 00:07:57,850
They said death and an end.

73
00:07:58,690 --> 00:08:01,130
Heaven said a new beginning.

74
00:08:02,110 --> 00:08:03,710
Not only of the man in heaven, but

75
00:08:03,710 --> 00:08:04,310
of his ministry.

76
00:08:05,750 --> 00:08:12,470
For it was out of that prison, imprisoned.

77
00:08:13,710 --> 00:08:18,350
And all that which was set for the

78
00:08:18,350 --> 00:08:24,570
ending of that ministry, out of that has

79
00:08:24,570 --> 00:08:27,270
come the greatest ministry that he fulfilled.

80
00:08:31,909 --> 00:08:39,390
These letters from that prison embrace a fullness

81
00:08:39,390 --> 00:08:44,030
of divine revelation that can be found nowhere

82
00:08:44,030 --> 00:08:44,650
else.

83
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:55,070
An enrichment for the church beyond, beyond our

84
00:08:55,070 --> 00:08:55,370
telling.

85
00:08:58,470 --> 00:09:03,130
An expansion of ministry far, far beyond the

86
00:09:03,130 --> 00:09:07,270
whole range of his missionary journeys, personally.

87
00:09:12,470 --> 00:09:18,780
Today, in every country of this world, Paul

88
00:09:18,780 --> 00:09:19,220
is known.

89
00:09:21,570 --> 00:09:24,250
Perhaps not in every spot in every country,

90
00:09:24,470 --> 00:09:25,530
but in every country.

91
00:09:27,680 --> 00:09:31,280
From far east to far west, far north

92
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,820
to far south, that man is known.

93
00:09:37,530 --> 00:09:38,910
And his ministry has gone.

94
00:09:42,010 --> 00:09:45,450
And today, through all the battle and the

95
00:09:45,450 --> 00:09:52,390
controversy over what is called Paulinism, the theological

96
00:09:52,390 --> 00:09:59,440
world, through all the battle of the years,

97
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,980
Paul is on top, you know.

98
00:10:04,500 --> 00:10:07,580
They just cannot cope with this man.

99
00:10:08,380 --> 00:10:10,600
They cannot silence him.

100
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,120
They cannot account for him.

101
00:10:16,820 --> 00:10:22,320
You probably will not know a great deal

102
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:23,880
of that battle.

103
00:10:25,220 --> 00:10:29,500
Those of us who have read and studied

104
00:10:29,500 --> 00:10:36,180
through many years this conflict of ideologies and

105
00:10:36,180 --> 00:10:43,860
philosophies, theologies, focusing upon this man, Paul, know

106
00:10:43,860 --> 00:10:51,200
how at one point the whole thing became

107
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:52,120
just this issue.

108
00:10:53,540 --> 00:10:56,780
Away from Paul, back to Christ.

109
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:00,600
Back to Christ.

110
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:02,800
Or back to Jesus, they put it.

111
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:04,640
Away from Paul.

112
00:11:06,930 --> 00:11:09,350
Paul has betrayed Christianity.

113
00:11:10,350 --> 00:11:11,290
This sort of thing.

114
00:11:11,290 --> 00:11:15,270
Terrific battle on that ground.

115
00:11:17,590 --> 00:11:23,070
But today, the very schools that were represented

116
00:11:23,070 --> 00:11:28,250
by that position are saying Paul is the

117
00:11:28,250 --> 00:11:30,930
interpreter of Christ, the supreme interpreter.

118
00:11:32,940 --> 00:11:36,820
That is, just by the way, as thrown

119
00:11:36,820 --> 00:11:38,840
into the whole situation.

120
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:42,940
You see, this man's life started in a

121
00:11:42,940 --> 00:11:45,440
blaze of glory.

122
00:11:48,580 --> 00:11:51,120
Glory descended and struck him.

123
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:55,880
As we said earlier, that glory went right

124
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:56,640
through his life.

125
00:11:56,740 --> 00:11:57,980
He never got away from that.

126
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:00,140
Never got away from that.

127
00:12:00,860 --> 00:12:02,980
He had seen the glory of the Lord.

128
00:12:03,980 --> 00:12:08,200
And although the end of his earthly cost

129
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:14,740
seemed naturally to be so inglorious, so much,

130
00:12:15,820 --> 00:12:22,220
speaking for apparent triumph of the forces which

131
00:12:22,220 --> 00:12:26,780
were against him, two thousand years, had not

132
00:12:26,780 --> 00:12:28,300
quenched that glory.

133
00:12:29,300 --> 00:12:32,260
He shines with it today.

134
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:40,320
We, a little minute fragment of a very

135
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:45,440
great worldwide whole, are here at this time

136
00:12:46,750 --> 00:12:51,690
glorying in the glory which has come through

137
00:12:51,690 --> 00:12:52,210
that man.

138
00:12:53,210 --> 00:12:56,830
So I say that the last chapter of

139
00:12:56,830 --> 00:12:59,790
the book of the Acts is just the

140
00:12:59,790 --> 00:13:04,130
consummate and inclusive setting forth of the whole

141
00:13:04,130 --> 00:13:07,910
book, showing the pathway of the glory.

142
00:13:10,380 --> 00:13:14,140
And just on that, I want to close

143
00:13:14,140 --> 00:13:16,340
this time.

144
00:13:19,180 --> 00:13:20,780
What is the pathway of the glory?

145
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,260
It has two sides.

146
00:13:24,260 --> 00:13:29,020
The one side is the reduction of the

147
00:13:29,020 --> 00:13:30,860
natural human element.

148
00:13:34,020 --> 00:13:35,480
It demands that.

149
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,380
It will always work that way.

150
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:47,180
The reduction, the nullifying, the weakening, the emptying,

151
00:13:48,180 --> 00:13:56,180
the undoing of the natural human element, man.

152
00:14:01,500 --> 00:14:09,700
Running alongside of that, the positive increase of

153
00:14:09,700 --> 00:14:10,080
Christ.

154
00:14:11,460 --> 00:14:16,020
The pathway of the glory is on the

155
00:14:16,020 --> 00:14:23,760
one side and an increasing, ever increasing setting

156
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:27,120
aside of the natural man, even as a

157
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,040
Christian, and in the work of the Lord,

158
00:14:31,540 --> 00:14:36,460
bringing more and more to the consciousness that

159
00:14:36,460 --> 00:14:39,700
it must be the Lord or there will

160
00:14:39,700 --> 00:14:40,900
be nothing at all.

161
00:14:40,900 --> 00:14:48,780
The human factor is increasingly of no account.

162
00:14:51,730 --> 00:14:52,750
That's the pathway of the glory.

163
00:14:53,630 --> 00:14:58,030
A very happy thing, perhaps, to contemplate, if

164
00:14:58,030 --> 00:14:59,630
you look at it on that side alone.

165
00:14:59,690 --> 00:15:00,430
But it is true.

166
00:15:01,930 --> 00:15:07,330
Here is this man, naturally and humanly in

167
00:15:07,330 --> 00:15:11,310
weakness, naturally and humanly in limitation.

168
00:15:13,450 --> 00:15:17,150
As a man in bonds.

169
00:15:21,940 --> 00:15:22,900
But there is the other side.

170
00:15:25,420 --> 00:15:27,280
The enlargement of what is of the Lord.

171
00:15:29,670 --> 00:15:32,650
Mighty, marvellous enlargement of Christ.

172
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:39,220
So that these letters from the prison are

173
00:15:39,220 --> 00:15:44,380
a natural setting forth of the greatness of

174
00:15:44,380 --> 00:15:45,040
the Lord Jesus.

175
00:15:47,870 --> 00:15:49,270
And you ought to read your first chapter

176
00:15:49,270 --> 00:15:50,550
of the Letter to the Colossians.

177
00:15:51,110 --> 00:15:51,910
See it?

178
00:15:52,870 --> 00:15:54,690
The place the Lord Jesus is given.

179
00:16:01,580 --> 00:16:03,860
Now you can see this, and it is

180
00:16:03,860 --> 00:16:07,120
as well that we do take at least

181
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:08,040
a glance at it.

182
00:16:08,380 --> 00:16:12,760
By the opposite, go right through your Bible

183
00:16:14,100 --> 00:16:21,260
and you will see that whenever man put

184
00:16:21,260 --> 00:16:27,000
forth his hand upon divine things, that glory

185
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:27,600
went out.

186
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,740
That is a word written over Eden, isn't

187
00:16:33,740 --> 00:16:34,020
it?

188
00:16:36,570 --> 00:16:39,930
The Lord's precaution, lest he put forth his

189
00:16:39,930 --> 00:16:40,490
hand.

190
00:16:43,370 --> 00:16:45,610
Lest he put forth his hand.

191
00:16:49,250 --> 00:16:51,130
The Lord knew quite well that if he

192
00:16:51,130 --> 00:16:54,410
put forth his hand on divine things, that

193
00:16:54,410 --> 00:16:55,530
was an end of the glory.

194
00:16:56,110 --> 00:16:58,030
And that's exactly what happened.

195
00:16:58,690 --> 00:17:01,070
And right through your Old Testament you can

196
00:17:01,070 --> 00:17:01,530
see this.

197
00:17:05,329 --> 00:17:10,829
Case after case, when man pressed him, pressed

198
00:17:10,829 --> 00:17:14,230
him, and put his hand upon divine things.

199
00:17:15,170 --> 00:17:16,849
The glory went out.

200
00:17:20,650 --> 00:17:26,390
You know how Isaiah says, The day that

201
00:17:26,390 --> 00:17:31,450
King Isaiah died, I saw the Lord high

202
00:17:31,450 --> 00:17:38,550
and lifted up, seated upon a throne, and

203
00:17:38,550 --> 00:17:40,090
his train filled the temple.

204
00:17:41,910 --> 00:17:46,590
But the tragedy of Isaiah, you remember that

205
00:17:46,590 --> 00:17:48,550
was the man, and one of the greatest.

206
00:17:49,990 --> 00:17:56,230
An idol of Isaiah the prophet himself, who

207
00:17:56,230 --> 00:18:02,050
reached great dimensions of power and influence, and

208
00:18:02,050 --> 00:18:06,370
earthly glory, and then presumed upon it, and

209
00:18:06,370 --> 00:18:10,410
forced his way in to the temple, to

210
00:18:10,410 --> 00:18:13,150
the sanctuary, to the altar.

211
00:18:14,790 --> 00:18:17,410
Fear came upon men, and they said, It

212
00:18:17,410 --> 00:18:21,710
does not pertain unto you, King Isaiah, to

213
00:18:21,710 --> 00:18:22,290
offer incense.

214
00:18:23,810 --> 00:18:29,690
But he spurned the warning, and was smitten,

215
00:18:31,230 --> 00:18:37,110
a leper, and died in shame with all

216
00:18:37,110 --> 00:18:40,370
his own earthly glory gone.

217
00:18:40,370 --> 00:18:47,380
He forced himself in, and lay his hand

218
00:18:47,380 --> 00:18:50,920
upon divine things, and so far as he

219
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:51,780
was concerned.

220
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,740
And for that time, the glory departed.

221
00:18:59,430 --> 00:19:02,410
It was a great reversing of the situation,

222
00:19:03,030 --> 00:19:06,590
when Isaiah saw the Lord on the throne,

223
00:19:07,030 --> 00:19:10,730
no longer Isaiah, the Lord on the throne.

224
00:19:10,830 --> 00:19:12,190
Then the glory comes back.

225
00:19:12,190 --> 00:19:15,430
When man usurps the place of God, the

226
00:19:15,430 --> 00:19:16,270
glory goes up.

227
00:19:17,730 --> 00:19:23,510
That's one instance, you remember, David, with the

228
00:19:23,510 --> 00:19:24,710
best of motives.

229
00:19:26,410 --> 00:19:30,250
Remember the ark, and the ark is always

230
00:19:30,250 --> 00:19:31,350
the ark of the glory.

231
00:19:31,670 --> 00:19:32,270
Remember that.

232
00:19:33,190 --> 00:19:34,530
Always the ark of the glory.

233
00:19:37,510 --> 00:19:40,890
The glory of Israel is focused upon and

234
00:19:40,890 --> 00:19:41,790
centered in that ark.

235
00:19:43,610 --> 00:19:46,670
David, with the purest and best of motives,

236
00:19:47,690 --> 00:19:53,560
heard of bringing the ark to Jerusalem, and

237
00:19:53,560 --> 00:20:00,440
mistakenly formed a new cart after Philistine, after

238
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:04,460
the Philistine manor, a new cart, put the

239
00:20:04,460 --> 00:20:09,000
ark on it, contrary to the divine word,

240
00:20:10,460 --> 00:20:11,620
to bring it up to Jerusalem.

241
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,420
They were apparently having a very good time

242
00:20:14,420 --> 00:20:17,520
on the road until they reached the threshing

243
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:17,980
floor.

244
00:20:19,460 --> 00:20:23,820
And the oxen stumbled, and Azar put forth

245
00:20:23,820 --> 00:20:29,700
his hand upon the ark, his hand on

246
00:20:29,700 --> 00:20:30,500
the ark.

247
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,840
And the Lord smote Azar there that he

248
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:36,280
died.

249
00:20:38,700 --> 00:20:41,740
The ark was turned aside, and for long,

250
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,400
long weary months, it says, the time was

251
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:44,920
long.

252
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,260
It was in the house of Obed-Edom,

253
00:20:48,340 --> 00:20:50,420
and Israel were weary.

254
00:20:51,460 --> 00:20:52,920
The glory had gone.

255
00:20:54,380 --> 00:20:56,900
Because man put his hand on divine things.

256
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,940
And so we could go on like that.

257
00:21:03,380 --> 00:21:05,540
But there it is.

258
00:21:05,660 --> 00:21:12,320
When the glory of life, glory of joy,

259
00:21:12,980 --> 00:21:17,980
glory of spiritual fullness, glory of divine power

260
00:21:17,980 --> 00:21:27,020
departs, comes under shadow, or is eclipsed, or

261
00:21:27,020 --> 00:21:34,660
limited, it is usually because man's hand has

262
00:21:34,660 --> 00:21:37,910
touched the testimony.

263
00:21:41,710 --> 00:21:45,850
Man's nature has insinuated itself.

264
00:21:45,850 --> 00:21:53,470
That is, his judgment, his ideas, his thoughts,

265
00:21:54,590 --> 00:21:59,630
his will, his emotions.

266
00:22:03,470 --> 00:22:05,870
David's mind got to work.

267
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,060
David's emotions got to work.

268
00:22:10,260 --> 00:22:12,080
It was a very emotional scene, that.

269
00:22:12,820 --> 00:22:14,060
Very emotional scene.

270
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:18,100
And David's will got to work.

271
00:22:19,540 --> 00:22:24,020
So that his soul, mind, heart and will

272
00:22:26,740 --> 00:22:29,300
came out to touch divine things.

273
00:22:30,180 --> 00:22:31,260
It was man.

274
00:22:34,140 --> 00:22:37,220
And whenever it's like that, if our judgments,

275
00:22:38,820 --> 00:22:44,980
and our emotions, and our decisions lay hold

276
00:22:44,980 --> 00:22:50,060
of the things of God, we will be

277
00:22:50,060 --> 00:22:51,320
left without the glory.

278
00:22:52,620 --> 00:22:55,960
Glory will depart, or the glory will be

279
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,200
under eclipse, or the glory will be limited.

280
00:22:59,220 --> 00:23:02,060
It's a long story, lest he put forth

281
00:23:02,060 --> 00:23:03,040
his hand.

282
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:08,040
So that's dark side.

283
00:23:08,700 --> 00:23:10,180
But it's as well, I say, that we

284
00:23:10,180 --> 00:23:13,660
take a glance at that, because that is

285
00:23:13,660 --> 00:23:15,820
so largely the trouble today.

286
00:23:17,420 --> 00:23:20,060
There's an absence of the glory, or a

287
00:23:20,060 --> 00:23:21,320
limiting of the glory.

288
00:23:22,300 --> 00:23:25,920
Our hearts cry for the glory to return.

289
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:31,800
We are always asking and praying that the

290
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,520
glory of the Lord may be manifested.

291
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:36,780
Known and felt.

292
00:23:38,020 --> 00:23:39,580
We've got to get out of the way

293
00:23:39,580 --> 00:23:40,880
before that can be.

294
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:46,640
Give the Lord all the place to be

295
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:47,340
all the Lord.

296
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,580
So on the one side there is the

297
00:23:50,580 --> 00:23:56,340
limiting of human abilities and powers, mind and

298
00:23:56,340 --> 00:23:58,200
will, ability.

299
00:23:59,300 --> 00:24:04,380
The other side, by that limiting or excluding

300
00:24:04,380 --> 00:24:07,240
the coming in of the Lord, the increase

301
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:07,900
of Christ.

302
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:10,300
That Christ is our wisdom.

303
00:24:11,380 --> 00:24:12,600
Christ is our strength.

304
00:24:13,620 --> 00:24:14,780
Christ is our will.

305
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:18,000
Christ is all.

306
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,960
Dear friends, that is the pathway of the

307
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:22,300
glory.

308
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:24,480
It's painful to the flesh.

309
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:26,320
Very painful.

310
00:24:27,020 --> 00:24:29,300
Because this flesh is very strong, stronger than

311
00:24:29,300 --> 00:24:30,060
we would believe.

312
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:32,020
It's there.

313
00:24:36,980 --> 00:24:37,780
But we must finish.

314
00:24:39,360 --> 00:24:42,520
And finish on perhaps a happier note.

315
00:24:44,850 --> 00:24:45,970
A much happier note.

316
00:24:47,210 --> 00:24:51,750
While we must understand what the glory demands.

317
00:24:52,090 --> 00:24:53,710
See the way of the glory.

318
00:24:56,690 --> 00:25:00,330
We do want to have at the end

319
00:25:00,330 --> 00:25:04,470
a final look at the ultimate glory.

320
00:25:06,630 --> 00:25:09,530
So that we remember Peter's word.

321
00:25:12,360 --> 00:25:14,380
And the chief shepherd shall appear.

322
00:25:16,740 --> 00:25:18,860
You shall receive a crown of glory.

323
00:25:20,980 --> 00:25:22,660
A crown of glory.

324
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:24,600
That's the end.

325
00:25:26,910 --> 00:25:28,890
It's a symbolic word of course.

326
00:25:29,090 --> 00:25:30,030
A crown of glory.

327
00:25:30,650 --> 00:25:33,190
I'm not very ambitious to have a literal

328
00:25:33,190 --> 00:25:35,090
crown put on my head.

329
00:25:35,550 --> 00:25:37,030
And for the life of me I don't

330
00:25:37,030 --> 00:25:38,770
see if I'm going to ever have three

331
00:25:38,770 --> 00:25:40,170
crowns on my head literally.

332
00:25:40,990 --> 00:25:43,170
And there are three crowns mentioned in the

333
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:44,840
Bible.

334
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,380
It means being crowned.

335
00:25:47,660 --> 00:25:51,580
Having your life and your work crowned.

336
00:25:53,140 --> 00:25:57,180
Capped, if you like, with glory.

337
00:25:58,240 --> 00:25:59,560
That's the last picture.

338
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,680
The crown of glory.

339
00:26:06,270 --> 00:26:06,910
What is it?

340
00:26:08,910 --> 00:26:11,410
Well, I've mentioned there are three crowns.

341
00:26:11,490 --> 00:26:13,230
You know them well probably.

342
00:26:14,650 --> 00:26:16,970
There is the crown of righteousness.

343
00:26:19,350 --> 00:26:24,030
Which we'll receive on certain grounds.

344
00:26:25,230 --> 00:26:26,570
The crown of righteousness.

345
00:26:26,810 --> 00:26:29,710
Which the Lord, the righteous God, the judge

346
00:26:29,710 --> 00:26:30,170
will give.

347
00:26:30,170 --> 00:26:32,410
Paul says, there is laid up for me

348
00:26:32,410 --> 00:26:34,710
a crown of righteousness.

349
00:26:35,810 --> 00:26:38,870
Which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give

350
00:26:38,870 --> 00:26:39,410
to me.

351
00:26:39,530 --> 00:26:40,470
Not to me only.

352
00:26:42,950 --> 00:26:44,690
What was he meaning?

353
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:53,370
Know that the last part of his life,

354
00:26:54,850 --> 00:26:57,970
one of his prison letters was that beautiful

355
00:26:57,970 --> 00:27:03,110
letter to his beloved and longed for children

356
00:27:03,110 --> 00:27:04,530
in Philippi.

357
00:27:05,930 --> 00:27:10,670
And he said, leaving the things which are

358
00:27:10,670 --> 00:27:15,170
behind, I press toward the mark, the prize

359
00:27:15,170 --> 00:27:18,850
of the on high calling of God.

360
00:27:20,830 --> 00:27:24,890
Governor, I count not myself to have attained.

361
00:27:26,370 --> 00:27:29,550
Neither am I already perfect.

362
00:27:30,890 --> 00:27:32,330
But this one thing I do.

363
00:27:33,410 --> 00:27:41,310
If by any means I may be found

364
00:27:41,310 --> 00:27:46,770
in him, not having a righteousness of mine

365
00:27:46,770 --> 00:27:51,610
own, but the righteousness which is of God

366
00:27:51,610 --> 00:27:52,290
through faith.

367
00:27:54,620 --> 00:27:59,700
The last longing cry of the apostle was

368
00:27:59,700 --> 00:28:06,240
that the righteousness of God through Christ should

369
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:07,600
adorn him.

370
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:09,740
He should attain unto it.

371
00:28:10,460 --> 00:28:14,600
That is, that he should stand before the

372
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:20,700
throne of the eternal bondings without any qualms,

373
00:28:21,140 --> 00:28:23,280
any fears, any flinchings.

374
00:28:23,860 --> 00:28:25,460
Stand justified.

375
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:30,400
Stand in a righteousness not his own.

376
00:28:30,900 --> 00:28:31,820
Perfect.

377
00:28:31,820 --> 00:28:35,920
Perfect in righteousness.

378
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:39,800
And that is what he meant by the

379
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:41,260
crown of righteousness.

380
00:28:43,290 --> 00:28:48,990
Stand at last before the eternal throne of

381
00:28:48,990 --> 00:28:55,630
infinite holiness clothed with divine righteousness with all

382
00:28:55,630 --> 00:29:00,510
his own unrighteousness and imperfection gone forever.

383
00:29:01,750 --> 00:29:03,450
Robed in righteousness.

384
00:29:04,370 --> 00:29:08,690
That he called the crowning thing for his

385
00:29:08,690 --> 00:29:09,030
life.

386
00:29:09,970 --> 00:29:13,950
The fullest realization of his ambition.

387
00:29:14,950 --> 00:29:17,970
I may stand perfect, lacking nothing.

388
00:29:20,970 --> 00:29:22,190
I'm not already perfect.

389
00:29:23,150 --> 00:29:24,570
I'm not already attained.

390
00:29:25,570 --> 00:29:29,670
But if only I can attain to being

391
00:29:29,670 --> 00:29:34,530
found in him, not having a righteousness of

392
00:29:34,530 --> 00:29:36,970
mine own, but his righteousness.

393
00:29:38,090 --> 00:29:39,050
Glorious in.

394
00:29:40,310 --> 00:29:42,330
That's a crown to covet.

395
00:29:43,790 --> 00:29:45,490
That's a crown to suffer for.

396
00:29:46,070 --> 00:29:47,570
To live for.

397
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:52,040
To be abandoned for.

398
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:56,760
A crown indeed of glory, that.

399
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:02,460
For, dear friends, you and I are in

400
00:30:02,460 --> 00:30:05,080
agreement on this, that if there's one thing

401
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:08,060
we long for, it is the full and

402
00:30:08,060 --> 00:30:10,320
final escape from our own sinfulness.

403
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,580
This accursed fallen nature.

404
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:17,320
All that it carries with it.

405
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:19,860
The crown of righteousness.

406
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:23,100
And then, the crown of life.

407
00:30:24,460 --> 00:30:27,320
Feed our faithful unto death, said the Lord,

408
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:29,020
and I will give thee a crown of

409
00:30:29,020 --> 00:30:29,300
life.

410
00:30:30,300 --> 00:30:31,240
A crown of life.

411
00:30:33,340 --> 00:30:34,060
What is that?

412
00:30:38,420 --> 00:30:40,000
Faithful unto death.

413
00:30:44,110 --> 00:30:46,170
To be answered with a crown of life.

414
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:52,800
All right, it's perfectly clear, isn't it?

415
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:55,680
The crown of life means that death has

416
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:56,320
no power.

417
00:30:57,500 --> 00:30:58,720
Is robbed of its power.

418
00:31:00,500 --> 00:31:02,940
Death as a power is destroyed.

419
00:31:02,940 --> 00:31:09,240
And life, divine life, resurrection life, is mightier

420
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:10,880
than all the power of death.

421
00:31:11,980 --> 00:31:14,500
Stand in the power of his resurrection in

422
00:31:14,500 --> 00:31:17,700
that same letter, in the same part of

423
00:31:17,700 --> 00:31:21,880
that letter, as we have quoted in the

424
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:22,860
Philippian letter.

425
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:27,660
For, utters those words so familiar to us

426
00:31:27,660 --> 00:31:30,740
that I may know him, and the power

427
00:31:30,740 --> 00:31:32,400
of his resurrection.

428
00:31:33,660 --> 00:31:35,740
Cry at the end of his life, the

429
00:31:35,740 --> 00:31:36,920
power of his resurrection.

430
00:31:38,220 --> 00:31:44,380
That is the ultimate and final nullifying of

431
00:31:44,380 --> 00:31:47,620
death in all its forms and in its

432
00:31:47,620 --> 00:31:48,580
whole power.

433
00:31:49,940 --> 00:31:55,620
Standing in the good of a life which

434
00:31:55,620 --> 00:31:59,480
can never, never be touched by death again.

435
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,160
Move over to John and the Revelation, there

436
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,840
shall be no more death.

437
00:32:08,670 --> 00:32:09,310
The crown of life.

438
00:32:10,870 --> 00:32:12,710
And then the third crown is the one

439
00:32:12,710 --> 00:32:15,090
we are speaking about, the crown of glory.

440
00:32:16,150 --> 00:32:18,390
You know what we've said about glory?

441
00:32:19,630 --> 00:32:23,550
Glory is the expression of the full satisfaction

442
00:32:23,550 --> 00:32:24,850
of God's nature.

443
00:32:25,970 --> 00:32:30,190
Can that ever be for me, for you?

444
00:32:31,170 --> 00:32:36,470
That crown, the full satisfaction of God's own

445
00:32:36,470 --> 00:32:43,570
nature, that is what he has called us

446
00:32:43,570 --> 00:32:47,850
to, redeemed us for, is working in us

447
00:32:47,850 --> 00:32:48,670
unto.

448
00:32:50,230 --> 00:32:53,910
And we'll walk to the end for this

449
00:32:53,910 --> 00:32:54,750
crown of glory.

450
00:32:55,630 --> 00:32:58,830
And although perhaps at the end of our

451
00:32:58,830 --> 00:33:03,490
longest life we shall not have reached the

452
00:33:03,490 --> 00:33:07,050
place where we do at that point utterly,

453
00:33:07,510 --> 00:33:11,190
fully and finally satisfy the nature of God,

454
00:33:11,890 --> 00:33:15,430
for in our last moments and our last

455
00:33:15,430 --> 00:33:17,750
breath there will still be a lot of

456
00:33:17,750 --> 00:33:19,130
imperfection about us.

457
00:33:19,130 --> 00:33:25,530
But remember, when he takes the responsibility of

458
00:33:25,530 --> 00:33:31,530
ending the process, he makes up all that

459
00:33:31,530 --> 00:33:33,670
would have been if he hadn't done so.

460
00:33:34,990 --> 00:33:37,730
That is, in the moment, the twinkling of

461
00:33:37,730 --> 00:33:39,570
an eye, when shall they change?

462
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:44,320
All that we lacked then will be added.

463
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,380
All that would have been if we had

464
00:33:48,380 --> 00:33:50,480
lived on and on and on under his

465
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:55,500
grace, under his power, will be put to

466
00:33:55,500 --> 00:33:56,720
our account.

467
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:00,600
I shall be satisfied when I awake in

468
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:01,400
thy likeness.

469
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:05,560
I go to sleep not altogether in thy

470
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:08,300
likeness, but I awake in thy likeness.

471
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,520
It's just that, the mighty thing that God

472
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:14,719
is going to add to those who are

473
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:19,260
faithful, faithful to the end.

474
00:34:19,820 --> 00:34:24,679
Not perfect, but in the way of being

475
00:34:24,679 --> 00:34:28,120
changed into the same glory.

476
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:44,980
Not perfect, but in the way of being

477
00:34:44,980 --> 00:34:48,420
changed into the same glory.

478
00:34:49,460 --> 00:34:54,120
From one degree to another, from one image

479
00:34:54,120 --> 00:35:01,220
to another, the crown of glory is God's

480
00:35:01,220 --> 00:35:02,280
final approval.

481
00:35:03,140 --> 00:35:04,940
God's final approval.

482
00:35:07,660 --> 00:35:11,940
Come, ye blessed of my Father, enter thou

483
00:35:11,940 --> 00:35:16,300
into the joy of thy Lord, and believe

484
00:35:16,300 --> 00:35:22,080
me, the Lord will never be joyful, really,

485
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,440
over what is not according to his own

486
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:24,780
nature.

487
00:35:25,740 --> 00:35:28,100
When he says, Thy joy of thy Lord,

488
00:35:28,220 --> 00:35:30,960
he will have got what his heart had

489
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:31,760
been set upon.

490
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:37,840
And the crown of glory, God's full and

491
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:39,820
complete approval.

492
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:41,640
Satisfaction.

493
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:49,220
Oh, what a wonderful, almost unbelievable prospect there

494
00:35:49,220 --> 00:35:52,340
is along the pathway of glory.

495
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:58,060
Well, I must leave all the rest with

496
00:35:58,060 --> 00:35:58,420
you.

497
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:05,320
All the other connections of riches, and this

498
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:12,800
very, very imperfect and limited setting forth of

499
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:16,040
the riches of his grace and the riches

500
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:16,880
of his glory.

501
00:36:18,240 --> 00:36:22,760
May the Lord just himself follow on and

502
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:27,140
teach all that we cannot teach, that we

503
00:36:27,140 --> 00:36:29,540
yet to know about this, but use even

504
00:36:29,540 --> 00:36:34,220
this for our help, our encouragement to go

505
00:36:34,220 --> 00:36:38,360
on in the way of the glory unto

506
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:40,960
the everlasting glory.
