1 00:00:02,770 --> 00:00:03,850 Let us pray. 2 00:00:07,039 --> 00:00:09,800 Father, we are in thy hands. 3 00:00:10,740 --> 00:00:14,800 By thy will we are, by thy grace 4 00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:18,500 we are too, and we praise thee for 5 00:00:18,500 --> 00:00:19,100 this, Lord. 6 00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:22,900 Now please guide us by thy Spirit. 7 00:00:24,460 --> 00:00:28,240 Open all our hearts and minds for the 8 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:33,040 instant teaching of the Holy Ghost, that thou 9 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:40,060 would take us on into full manhood, maturity 10 00:00:40,060 --> 00:00:42,240 in Christ. 11 00:00:43,180 --> 00:00:47,580 That is thy concern, Lord, that thou shouldst 12 00:00:47,580 --> 00:00:50,960 be pleased with us at the end, and 13 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,380 we shall be able to render our true 14 00:00:53,380 --> 00:00:53,940 account. 15 00:00:54,940 --> 00:00:57,480 We bless thee for this, Lord. 16 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:03,519 Thy ways are past finding out, but thou 17 00:01:03,519 --> 00:01:08,420 wilt reveal to each his or her position 18 00:01:08,420 --> 00:01:12,520 in it, humble though it may be. 19 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,840 Grant us, Lord, grace to walk in it 20 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:18,420 without murmuring. 21 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:25,660 Only praise unto thee and thy great Son. 22 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:29,240 Amen. 23 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:39,060 Well, I believe we are in John chapter 24 00:01:39,060 --> 00:01:39,780 6. 25 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,180 Now you will know, of course, I believe 26 00:01:46,180 --> 00:01:48,680 I might have mentioned it before, but if 27 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,700 I have, suffer me to repeat, you will 28 00:01:50,700 --> 00:01:52,460 know how repetitious I am. 29 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,060 It seemed to be that God was, he 30 00:01:56,060 --> 00:01:58,380 was always talking about the same thing in 31 00:01:58,380 --> 00:01:59,240 a different way. 32 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:09,639 That this is the only miracle that's recorded 33 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,620 in all the Gospels, this one, we're going 34 00:02:12,620 --> 00:02:15,160 to deal with today, because you will know 35 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:20,880 it's the feeding of the 5,000 and 36 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:21,520 so on. 37 00:02:22,380 --> 00:02:28,340 The importance of it is that, like you 38 00:02:28,340 --> 00:02:37,450 could say, some things have to do with 39 00:02:37,450 --> 00:02:40,090 behaviour, cultural things. 40 00:02:40,730 --> 00:02:43,130 Let me take one, for instance, the parable 41 00:02:43,130 --> 00:02:44,350 of the Good Samaritan. 42 00:02:46,530 --> 00:02:48,850 That's to do with behaviour. 43 00:02:49,990 --> 00:02:52,970 That is to do with things that we 44 00:02:52,970 --> 00:02:56,650 shall meet in our walk with God. 45 00:02:57,690 --> 00:03:01,250 The greatest statement in that parable as I 46 00:03:01,250 --> 00:03:06,910 may say, is contained in four words. 47 00:03:08,090 --> 00:03:10,650 Just give you a clue, at least you'll 48 00:03:10,650 --> 00:03:12,090 know what I think about it anyway. 49 00:03:13,610 --> 00:03:15,530 Take care of him. 50 00:03:16,650 --> 00:03:17,870 That's what it's about. 51 00:03:20,630 --> 00:03:23,610 Take care of him. 52 00:03:24,030 --> 00:03:27,950 That's how to behave yourself or to do 53 00:03:27,950 --> 00:03:30,930 with your walk, work, whatever you want. 54 00:03:31,590 --> 00:03:33,930 But this is a fundamental thing. 55 00:03:34,850 --> 00:03:38,270 It has to do with history, this Jewish 56 00:03:38,270 --> 00:03:38,870 history. 57 00:03:39,690 --> 00:03:42,210 It has to do with so many things 58 00:03:42,210 --> 00:03:47,470 that are basic in our faith. 59 00:03:49,330 --> 00:03:51,950 So let's turn to it, shall we, in 60 00:03:51,950 --> 00:03:55,590 John chapter 6. 61 00:03:57,990 --> 00:04:01,470 After these things Jesus went over the Sea 62 00:04:01,470 --> 00:04:04,470 of Galilee, which is the Sea of Tiberias. 63 00:04:06,090 --> 00:04:10,990 And a great multitude followed him because they 64 00:04:10,990 --> 00:04:13,550 saw the miracles which he did on them 65 00:04:13,550 --> 00:04:14,870 that were diseases. 66 00:04:15,810 --> 00:04:22,090 Note that this instance recorded here and the 67 00:04:22,090 --> 00:04:27,190 feeding, miracle, they call it a parable, it's 68 00:04:27,190 --> 00:04:30,950 a miracle, has to do with Jewish history. 69 00:04:32,350 --> 00:04:36,950 And has to be brought into the New 70 00:04:36,950 --> 00:04:37,450 Testament. 71 00:04:37,690 --> 00:04:44,030 Now you will understand this, that everything in 72 00:04:44,030 --> 00:04:49,250 the Old Testament has to be and was 73 00:04:49,250 --> 00:04:53,150 handled by Christ in such a way as 74 00:04:53,150 --> 00:04:56,490 to bring the basic truth in it over 75 00:04:56,490 --> 00:04:58,450 into the New Testament. 76 00:04:59,650 --> 00:05:05,640 As we shall see, has to do with 77 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:10,700 history, with the present and with the future. 78 00:05:13,100 --> 00:05:17,520 They followed him, verse 2, because they saw 79 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,680 the miracles which he did on them that 80 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:21,260 were disease. 81 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:25,340 But he's not now talking about miracles or 82 00:05:25,340 --> 00:05:29,560 healing those who were diseased or lame or 83 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:30,460 anything like that. 84 00:05:31,300 --> 00:05:37,820 It is, it's all summed up in those 85 00:05:37,820 --> 00:05:40,220 words in verse 6. 86 00:05:41,620 --> 00:05:45,020 He knew what he would do. 87 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:49,760 That's the thing. 88 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,020 We'll fill in the intervening words. 89 00:05:56,040 --> 00:06:00,100 Jesus went up into a mountain and there 90 00:06:00,100 --> 00:06:02,260 he sat with his disciples. 91 00:06:02,940 --> 00:06:10,240 Please remember that great statements, great revelations, great 92 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:14,640 things of Jesus Christ's life have to do 93 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,300 with mountains. 94 00:06:19,140 --> 00:06:21,500 They have to do with valleys as well. 95 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,120 If you're a reader of Oswald Chambers, you 96 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,200 will learn how that you have to go 97 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,500 down into the demon-possessed valley. 98 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,220 That's one of his lovely phrases. 99 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,600 You can't always live on the mountaintops. 100 00:06:33,820 --> 00:06:37,740 So be sure that if Jesus Christ went 101 00:06:37,740 --> 00:06:41,120 up on a mountain, there's something wonderful going 102 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,500 to happen to the mount where he gave 103 00:06:43,500 --> 00:06:46,840 the sermon on the mount, as we call 104 00:06:46,840 --> 00:06:50,840 it, or mount of transfiguration or anything like 105 00:06:50,840 --> 00:06:51,240 that. 106 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:53,200 Keep it clear. 107 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:58,800 Mountains stand generally in the Bible for kingdoms. 108 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,640 He went up into a mountain, sat with 109 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:12,580 his disciples, and the Passover, the feast of 110 00:07:12,580 --> 00:07:14,280 the Jews, was nigh. 111 00:07:15,780 --> 00:07:19,600 Jesus lifted up his eyes, saw great company 112 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:20,600 come unto him. 113 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:25,000 He said unto Philip, When shall we buy 114 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:26,780 bread that these may eat? 115 00:07:27,940 --> 00:07:33,080 This he said to prove him, for he 116 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:37,480 himself knew what he was about to do. 117 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:44,180 Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread 118 00:07:44,180 --> 00:07:47,340 is not sufficient for them that every one 119 00:07:47,340 --> 00:07:48,540 of them take a little. 120 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:53,760 Wonderful, isn't it? 121 00:07:56,540 --> 00:08:01,220 Has the Lord Jesus ever proved you by 122 00:08:01,220 --> 00:08:03,580 asking you what he should do? 123 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,580 You think, well, I ask him what I 124 00:08:10,580 --> 00:08:11,200 should do. 125 00:08:16,430 --> 00:08:18,630 Just turn these things over. 126 00:08:18,870 --> 00:08:22,150 Every word of scripture is important. 127 00:08:22,570 --> 00:08:24,230 Don't gloss over anything. 128 00:08:28,210 --> 00:08:31,130 Sometimes he'll put you to the test. 129 00:08:32,330 --> 00:08:33,809 What would you do? 130 00:08:34,010 --> 00:08:35,250 What can we do? 131 00:08:35,570 --> 00:08:36,030 So on. 132 00:08:38,390 --> 00:08:42,169 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, 133 00:08:42,370 --> 00:08:44,270 said unto him, There is a lad here 134 00:08:45,030 --> 00:08:49,350 which has five barley loaves and two small 135 00:08:49,350 --> 00:08:49,810 fishes. 136 00:08:50,450 --> 00:08:52,110 What are they among so many? 137 00:08:53,070 --> 00:08:55,950 Jesus said, Make the men sit down. 138 00:08:57,790 --> 00:09:01,730 Now there was much grass in the place, 139 00:09:01,950 --> 00:09:05,090 so the men sat down in number about 140 00:09:05,090 --> 00:09:06,330 five thousand. 141 00:09:07,490 --> 00:09:11,130 Jesus took the loaves, and when he had 142 00:09:11,130 --> 00:09:15,550 given thanks, don't misinterpret that saying, when he 143 00:09:15,550 --> 00:09:24,610 said his grace, he gave thanks for the 144 00:09:24,610 --> 00:09:31,670 five loaves and two fishes, and he distributed 145 00:09:31,670 --> 00:09:36,370 to the disciples and the disciples to them 146 00:09:36,370 --> 00:09:40,170 that were set down, and likewise of the 147 00:09:40,170 --> 00:09:42,450 fishes, as much as they would. 148 00:09:42,990 --> 00:09:46,130 When they were filled, he said unto his 149 00:09:46,130 --> 00:09:50,610 disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, but 150 00:09:50,610 --> 00:09:52,710 nothing be lost. 151 00:09:53,710 --> 00:09:58,550 Therefore they gathered them together and filled twelve 152 00:09:58,550 --> 00:10:02,650 baskets with the fragments of the five barley 153 00:10:02,650 --> 00:10:07,130 loaves which remained over and above unto them 154 00:10:07,130 --> 00:10:07,890 that had eaten. 155 00:10:09,410 --> 00:10:12,230 Then those men, when they had seen the 156 00:10:12,230 --> 00:10:15,970 miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of 157 00:10:15,970 --> 00:10:19,510 a truth, that prophet which should come into 158 00:10:19,510 --> 00:10:20,170 the world. 159 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,280 When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come, 160 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:30,040 that is, the multitude, and take him by 161 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:35,480 force, beware, you can't do that, take him 162 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:40,340 by force to make him a king, he 163 00:10:40,340 --> 00:10:46,180 departed again into a mountain himself alone. 164 00:10:46,820 --> 00:10:48,660 And when he even was now come, his 165 00:10:48,660 --> 00:10:52,560 disciples went down unto the sea, and entered 166 00:10:52,560 --> 00:10:55,500 into a ship, and went over the sea 167 00:10:55,500 --> 00:10:56,980 toward Capernaum. 168 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:03,160 And it was dark now, and Jesus had 169 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:04,420 not come to them. 170 00:11:07,180 --> 00:11:10,440 And the sea arose by reason of a 171 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,580 great wind blow. 172 00:11:12,900 --> 00:11:15,300 So when they had rowed about five and 173 00:11:15,300 --> 00:11:19,600 twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking 174 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:21,940 on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the 175 00:11:21,940 --> 00:11:24,380 ship, and they were afraid. 176 00:11:26,020 --> 00:11:29,420 But he said unto them, It is I, 177 00:11:30,260 --> 00:11:31,580 be not afraid. 178 00:11:32,680 --> 00:11:34,880 Then they went over the sea, and willingly 179 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:39,060 received him into the ship, and immediately the 180 00:11:39,060 --> 00:11:41,460 ship was at the land whither they went. 181 00:11:43,820 --> 00:11:48,120 You will find this statement of this miracle 182 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:53,240 more detailed in other Gospels. 183 00:11:56,060 --> 00:12:01,980 But it's very wonderful as each one, by 184 00:12:01,980 --> 00:12:07,500 the Spirit, draw different conclusions from it, and 185 00:12:07,500 --> 00:12:09,640 move as you might get a difference in 186 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:11,740 four different preachers. 187 00:12:12,540 --> 00:12:14,280 I expect you notice there is a difference 188 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:15,000 between them. 189 00:12:16,820 --> 00:12:23,480 But John, as I said earlier on, has 190 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,400 a great affinity with Moses. 191 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,100 Always keep that in your mind. 192 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:34,580 And we're going to see how the Mosaic 193 00:12:34,580 --> 00:12:39,320 statement is taken up by the Lord, and 194 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:43,880 all the things concerned with the supply of 195 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:49,140 food in the Old Testament during their wandering 196 00:12:49,140 --> 00:12:50,380 in the wilderness. 197 00:12:50,580 --> 00:12:52,080 Now keep that clear. 198 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,640 What is called the wandering in the wilderness 199 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,140 was nothing of the kind really. 200 00:12:59,340 --> 00:13:02,040 That is an easy evangelical phrase. 201 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:06,820 They didn't wander, they were led by a 202 00:13:06,820 --> 00:13:08,360 pillar of cloud. 203 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,080 So when you hear this book about wandering 204 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,060 in the wilderness, and try to find a 205 00:13:15,060 --> 00:13:19,280 niche for yourself in that, you must know 206 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:22,340 in your heart that they were turned into 207 00:13:22,340 --> 00:13:26,660 the wilderness by God, and they were led 208 00:13:26,660 --> 00:13:28,700 all the time. 209 00:13:29,340 --> 00:13:34,160 And they were supplied all the time. 210 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:35,520 Very wonderful. 211 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:42,180 So don't fall carelessly into sloppy and untrue 212 00:13:42,180 --> 00:13:43,900 evangelical thinking. 213 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,840 Know what God is doing. 214 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:54,880 Now from this, the Lord Jesus adduces, brings 215 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:58,760 out so much truth that you and I 216 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,200 need to know about. 217 00:14:05,540 --> 00:14:09,120 They entered into the ship, they were on 218 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,340 the sea, here we are, and in verse 219 00:14:12,340 --> 00:14:16,580 20 we read, he said to them at 220 00:14:16,580 --> 00:14:18,400 his eye, be not afraid. 221 00:14:19,860 --> 00:14:23,760 Then they willingly received him into the ship, 222 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,640 and immediately the ship was at the land 223 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:28,440 with which they went. 224 00:14:28,580 --> 00:14:30,260 That's a sort of a miracle that sort 225 00:14:30,260 --> 00:14:31,040 of missed over. 226 00:14:34,540 --> 00:14:35,540 It missed over. 227 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,080 How many sermons have you heard on that 228 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:40,420 in your life? 229 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,520 They were immediately there. 230 00:14:43,860 --> 00:14:45,120 They were home and dry. 231 00:14:48,340 --> 00:14:49,180 Wonderful. 232 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:56,900 Once Christ stepped into the ship, very wonderful, 233 00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,200 how it got to the other side so 234 00:14:59,200 --> 00:14:59,500 quickly. 235 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:05,240 It didn't have any wings like an aeroplane, 236 00:15:06,620 --> 00:15:11,400 nothing to do with chitty bang bang, keep 237 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:15,320 that very clear, but they were immediately, boat, 238 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:23,180 men, everything transported somehow by God's power. 239 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,100 May I draw that lesson to you, my 240 00:15:27,100 --> 00:15:29,460 beloved, that immediately Christ is in the boat, 241 00:15:29,580 --> 00:15:30,680 you're home and dried. 242 00:15:36,990 --> 00:15:37,890 How about that? 243 00:15:40,830 --> 00:15:46,590 Winds contrary, waves tossing you about, you're home 244 00:15:46,590 --> 00:15:48,250 and dried when Christ comes in. 245 00:15:49,650 --> 00:15:52,650 He told them to do this, that he 246 00:15:52,650 --> 00:15:55,090 may display this great truth to them. 247 00:15:57,650 --> 00:15:58,290 Wonderful. 248 00:15:59,570 --> 00:16:02,930 I hear the little Christians, they're up and 249 00:16:02,930 --> 00:16:09,550 down, just like waves, everything's against me, usually 250 00:16:09,550 --> 00:16:13,970 they're depressants, and so on. 251 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,420 Immediately Christ is in the boat, you'll be 252 00:16:19,420 --> 00:16:19,920 all right. 253 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:23,880 Hallelujah. 254 00:16:26,140 --> 00:16:28,680 Entirely against nature, well of course it was 255 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:35,000 against nature, that is nature outwardly, but he's 256 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:41,120 addressing himself to men, and that's how he 257 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,340 addressed himself to men, it is I, don't 258 00:16:43,340 --> 00:16:43,940 be afraid. 259 00:16:45,500 --> 00:16:47,440 I expect they were as much afraid of 260 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:51,820 being at the further shore immediately than they 261 00:16:51,820 --> 00:16:52,760 were of the sea. 262 00:16:55,740 --> 00:16:56,300 Marvellous. 263 00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:58,600 So don't moan, will you? 264 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,300 You won't be able to if you're a 265 00:17:02,300 --> 00:17:06,540 truly born child of God and Christ is 266 00:17:06,540 --> 00:17:07,280 filling the boat. 267 00:17:09,220 --> 00:17:10,660 You won't be able to. 268 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:14,460 It's amazing how he changes human nature and 269 00:17:14,460 --> 00:17:14,960 habits. 270 00:17:15,339 --> 00:17:15,780 Amazing. 271 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,920 Ah, I'm one of these thoughtful people, as 272 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:21,460 though Christ never thought a thing. 273 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,040 Nobody else did, but you are the one 274 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:25,920 particular one. 275 00:17:28,620 --> 00:17:31,180 You'd better get changed, if you like that. 276 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,460 Really the world's got enough of them, they 277 00:17:35,460 --> 00:17:36,800 don't want you doing it. 278 00:17:39,540 --> 00:17:41,620 So on we go, beloved. 279 00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,620 We've got to go quickly, time's fleeting quick. 280 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:51,780 The day following, when the people which stood 281 00:17:51,780 --> 00:17:53,740 on the other side of the sea saw 282 00:17:53,740 --> 00:17:56,460 that there was none other boat there, save 283 00:17:56,460 --> 00:17:58,920 the one we're into, his disciples were entered, 284 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,700 and that Jesus was not with his, went 285 00:18:02,700 --> 00:18:05,320 not with his disciples into the boat, but 286 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,340 that his disciples were gone away alone, albeit 287 00:18:08,340 --> 00:18:11,760 there came other boats from Tiberias, nigh unto 288 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,980 the place where they did eat bread, after 289 00:18:14,980 --> 00:18:17,180 that the Lord had given thanks. 290 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:22,400 When the people therefore saw that Jesus was 291 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,660 not there, neither his disciples, they also took 292 00:18:25,660 --> 00:18:30,280 shipping and came unto Capernaum, seeking for Jesus. 293 00:18:30,540 --> 00:18:33,080 And when they had found him on the 294 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,740 other side of the sea, they said unto 295 00:18:35,740 --> 00:18:38,840 him, Rabbi, when camest thou here? 296 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:43,420 Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I 297 00:18:43,420 --> 00:18:47,660 say unto you, you seek me, not because 298 00:18:47,660 --> 00:18:50,980 ye saw the miracles, but because ye did 299 00:18:50,980 --> 00:18:53,460 eat the loaves when they were filled. 300 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,700 A pretty low-down motive, wasn't it? 301 00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:00,120 I mean, if they had come to be 302 00:19:00,120 --> 00:19:02,940 healed and have a miracle and all this 303 00:19:02,940 --> 00:19:06,160 done for them, but when all you're thinking 304 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:10,450 about is your belly, then you're in a 305 00:19:10,450 --> 00:19:10,970 bad way. 306 00:19:14,090 --> 00:19:16,490 And that's what he said, you know, the 307 00:19:16,490 --> 00:19:19,450 Lord's very penetrating, you must let him penetrate, 308 00:19:19,690 --> 00:19:21,810 you never try to hide when he speaks. 309 00:19:24,730 --> 00:19:27,610 They used to teach me a course when 310 00:19:27,610 --> 00:19:31,030 I was at school, Sunday school, show me 311 00:19:31,030 --> 00:19:33,770 thyself and show me my Saviour. 312 00:19:34,030 --> 00:19:36,490 No, show me myself and show me my 313 00:19:36,490 --> 00:19:37,010 Saviour. 314 00:19:37,890 --> 00:19:40,090 And talking about the Bible, make the book 315 00:19:40,090 --> 00:19:41,070 live to me. 316 00:19:44,250 --> 00:19:46,130 I don't think that now, they say, clap 317 00:19:46,130 --> 00:19:47,390 your hands and be happy. 318 00:19:48,810 --> 00:19:51,850 That about sums up the present chorus structure. 319 00:19:53,980 --> 00:19:59,260 The Lord taught these great things. 320 00:20:00,740 --> 00:20:03,980 He said, lay them not for the meat 321 00:20:03,980 --> 00:20:08,620 that perishes, but for that meat which endureth 322 00:20:08,620 --> 00:20:13,020 unto everlasting life, which the Son of Man 323 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,600 shall give unto you, for him hath God 324 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:17,760 the Father sealed. 325 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:22,060 Then said they unto him, what shall we 326 00:20:22,060 --> 00:20:25,920 do that we might work the works of 327 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:26,520 God? 328 00:20:26,820 --> 00:20:28,140 Insulting, wasn't it? 329 00:20:31,410 --> 00:20:34,930 Jesus answered and said unto them, this is 330 00:20:34,930 --> 00:20:39,390 the work of God, that you believe on 331 00:20:39,390 --> 00:20:42,090 him whom he hath sent. 332 00:20:44,030 --> 00:20:47,330 They said therefore unto him, what sign showest 333 00:20:47,330 --> 00:20:50,730 thou then, that we may see and believe 334 00:20:50,730 --> 00:20:53,790 thee, what dost thou work? 335 00:20:54,010 --> 00:20:56,870 Our fathers, now we're going back into history, 336 00:20:59,070 --> 00:21:02,750 our fathers did eat manna in the desert. 337 00:21:03,590 --> 00:21:06,550 As it is written, he gave them bread 338 00:21:06,550 --> 00:21:08,050 from heaven to eat. 339 00:21:08,930 --> 00:21:13,530 Then Jesus said unto them, verily, verily. 340 00:21:15,550 --> 00:21:20,590 I say unto you, Moses gave you not 341 00:21:20,590 --> 00:21:25,830 that bread, from heaven, but my Father giveth 342 00:21:25,830 --> 00:21:28,770 you the true bread from heaven. 343 00:21:28,870 --> 00:21:31,830 Now you see how ignorant they were. 344 00:21:32,050 --> 00:21:37,030 They thought that Moses had given them manna. 345 00:21:38,870 --> 00:21:42,770 They now promoted Moses to the position of 346 00:21:42,770 --> 00:21:44,050 national idol. 347 00:21:46,610 --> 00:21:50,410 That's the Jewish background into which Jesus was 348 00:21:50,410 --> 00:21:50,830 born. 349 00:21:54,490 --> 00:21:57,070 He said, Moses didn't give you that bread 350 00:21:57,070 --> 00:21:57,730 from heaven? 351 00:21:59,590 --> 00:22:03,950 My Father giveth you the true bread from 352 00:22:03,950 --> 00:22:06,950 heaven, for the bread of God is he 353 00:22:06,950 --> 00:22:09,990 which cometh down from heaven and giveth life 354 00:22:09,990 --> 00:22:11,870 unto the world. 355 00:22:12,010 --> 00:22:16,730 Then said they unto him, Lord evermore give 356 00:22:16,730 --> 00:22:17,890 us this bread. 357 00:22:19,930 --> 00:22:23,870 So there you have the whole thing that 358 00:22:23,870 --> 00:22:26,030 he knew he was going to do. 359 00:22:26,370 --> 00:22:28,670 Oh, not just give them the bread and 360 00:22:28,670 --> 00:22:31,670 break five loaves up and two fishes, mighty 361 00:22:31,670 --> 00:22:32,930 miracle though it was. 362 00:22:33,390 --> 00:22:37,490 He was moving toward the place where he 363 00:22:37,490 --> 00:22:42,550 would debunk their position toward Moses, their attitude, 364 00:22:43,750 --> 00:22:46,630 and remove him from the position he never 365 00:22:46,630 --> 00:22:52,030 wanted to be God giving them bread from 366 00:22:52,030 --> 00:22:52,450 heaven. 367 00:22:53,510 --> 00:22:56,110 You wouldn't have thought that a nation so 368 00:22:56,110 --> 00:23:00,670 blessed as they would be thinking as they 369 00:23:00,670 --> 00:23:03,110 did, our nation is worse. 370 00:23:03,210 --> 00:23:05,650 Whatever nation you come from is ten times 371 00:23:05,650 --> 00:23:08,950 worse than that, but still here is the 372 00:23:08,950 --> 00:23:14,910 thing, beloved, you can get into a wrong 373 00:23:14,910 --> 00:23:20,150 attitude in your thinking unless you are constantly 374 00:23:20,150 --> 00:23:24,350 aware of the fact that God is giving 375 00:23:24,350 --> 00:23:27,810 you bread from heaven. 376 00:23:28,050 --> 00:23:29,250 Let's stay there a moment. 377 00:23:30,870 --> 00:23:33,870 At the very beginning on this other mountain 378 00:23:33,870 --> 00:23:39,510 top teaching in Matthew chapter 5, he taught 379 00:23:39,510 --> 00:23:44,290 those disciples to pray a prayer, give us 380 00:23:44,290 --> 00:23:47,170 this day our daily bread. 381 00:23:47,550 --> 00:23:52,610 That's what the Israelites had through their wilderness 382 00:23:52,610 --> 00:23:55,210 wandering, if you like to use that word, 383 00:23:55,710 --> 00:23:57,530 it was a directed path. 384 00:23:58,310 --> 00:24:01,710 They had to get up before the sun 385 00:24:01,710 --> 00:24:05,970 got hot, God won't tolerate lazy bones that 386 00:24:05,970 --> 00:24:07,650 love their bed too much. 387 00:24:08,930 --> 00:24:12,930 Every day except the Sabbath they had to 388 00:24:12,930 --> 00:24:16,950 get up very early and go outside a 389 00:24:16,950 --> 00:24:25,530 camp which was at and 390 00:24:25,530 --> 00:24:30,170 keep walking until they got to the place 391 00:24:30,170 --> 00:24:38,950 where upon the dewy tablecloth God laid their 392 00:24:38,950 --> 00:24:41,250 bread every morning. 393 00:24:43,750 --> 00:24:45,150 Would you have lived in? 394 00:24:45,710 --> 00:24:48,030 I mean you love sleeping in, don't you? 395 00:24:48,050 --> 00:24:50,590 That's well known for students, they want to 396 00:24:50,590 --> 00:24:52,650 sleep away all the weekend if they can, 397 00:24:52,770 --> 00:24:54,990 except they've got something they want to do. 398 00:24:55,590 --> 00:25:02,210 Here's the thing, beloved, know your tendencies because 399 00:25:02,210 --> 00:25:07,890 they'll be your enemies unless you let God 400 00:25:07,890 --> 00:25:09,150 rule in them. 401 00:25:12,290 --> 00:25:18,270 Here's the very great thing, you see, that's 402 00:25:18,270 --> 00:25:22,010 the first thing he taught them, you give 403 00:25:22,010 --> 00:25:26,550 us, remember what I did to Israel of 404 00:25:26,550 --> 00:25:30,810 all thousands of years back, I gave them 405 00:25:30,810 --> 00:25:32,070 daily bread. 406 00:25:33,530 --> 00:25:39,940 It wasn't Moses who gave it, so it's 407 00:25:39,940 --> 00:25:40,780 built on them. 408 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:51,040 He's parody almost of the truth, it isn't 409 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,140 that, but here it is. 410 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:58,500 All right now, you're going to get your 411 00:25:58,500 --> 00:26:03,260 daily bread, don't ask me for it, you 412 00:26:03,260 --> 00:26:08,500 start by saying father, give us our daily 413 00:26:08,500 --> 00:26:08,860 bread. 414 00:26:11,770 --> 00:26:16,530 That's right, and he was now going to 415 00:26:16,530 --> 00:26:17,250 build on that. 416 00:26:17,950 --> 00:26:21,810 It is also important, you won't need me 417 00:26:21,810 --> 00:26:24,730 to tell you where to find that, it's 418 00:26:24,730 --> 00:26:26,390 also important for you to know this, you'll 419 00:26:26,390 --> 00:26:29,190 have to find in Deuteronomy, you won't have 420 00:26:29,190 --> 00:26:31,450 to read very far, but shall I not 421 00:26:31,450 --> 00:26:32,930 teach you, I'll tell you the chapter. 422 00:26:33,730 --> 00:26:38,050 In Deuteronomy chapter 8, you will find Moses 423 00:26:38,050 --> 00:26:42,230 now at the end of the wilderness journey, 424 00:26:44,170 --> 00:26:47,810 he was yielding up to Joshua, who was 425 00:26:47,810 --> 00:26:52,130 soon going to take over, he said the 426 00:26:52,130 --> 00:26:56,550 reason why God led them through the wilderness, 427 00:26:58,070 --> 00:27:01,090 he said, I led you through this and 428 00:27:01,090 --> 00:27:06,250 fed you with manna, that you may learn 429 00:27:06,250 --> 00:27:10,230 that man does not live by bread alone, 430 00:27:10,750 --> 00:27:13,650 but by every word that proceeds out of 431 00:27:13,650 --> 00:27:14,350 the mouth of God. 432 00:27:14,370 --> 00:27:15,510 Are you living like that? 433 00:27:16,610 --> 00:27:18,690 I'm not asking you whether you believe John 434 00:27:18,690 --> 00:27:25,130 3.16. Are you living by the words 435 00:27:25,130 --> 00:27:27,010 that proceed out of the mouth of God, 436 00:27:27,370 --> 00:27:29,690 or out of that lecture, if it is 437 00:27:29,690 --> 00:27:32,970 a lecture of a man named North, or 438 00:27:32,970 --> 00:27:36,390 whoever may be your favourite lecturer, preacher or 439 00:27:36,390 --> 00:27:43,130 what not, are you so intimately associated with 440 00:27:43,130 --> 00:27:44,830 Jesus Christ, I mean have you been born 441 00:27:44,830 --> 00:27:49,390 into the godly family, is he your father, 442 00:27:49,790 --> 00:27:50,990 or are you just a believer? 443 00:27:51,890 --> 00:27:54,930 Here is the thing, you see, you are 444 00:27:54,930 --> 00:27:59,710 born into his family, and have you learned 445 00:27:59,710 --> 00:28:02,170 what Israel never learned? 446 00:28:02,930 --> 00:28:06,030 That they got to live by every word 447 00:28:06,030 --> 00:28:08,370 that proceeds out of the mouth of God, 448 00:28:08,750 --> 00:28:12,230 and at that time they had received the 449 00:28:12,230 --> 00:28:19,470 whole law as given in Leviticus, and other 450 00:28:19,470 --> 00:28:21,870 things that God added as they went through. 451 00:28:23,630 --> 00:28:27,310 Oh, so that was the reason for manna 452 00:28:27,310 --> 00:28:29,810 in the wilderness, was it? 453 00:28:29,810 --> 00:28:37,210 Now, now you see the affinity with Moses, 454 00:28:38,130 --> 00:28:45,210 he said, my father gives you the true 455 00:28:45,210 --> 00:28:47,050 bread from heaven. 456 00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:53,670 The bread from heaven, angels live on it, 457 00:28:54,870 --> 00:28:59,350 archangels live on it, the father lives on 458 00:28:59,350 --> 00:29:01,910 it, he eats his son, you know in 459 00:29:01,910 --> 00:29:04,730 love, I've heard many a woman say, look 460 00:29:04,730 --> 00:29:06,590 at somebody who has a baby, they all 461 00:29:06,590 --> 00:29:08,830 go round and say, I could eat it, 462 00:29:09,190 --> 00:29:10,370 that's right. 463 00:29:11,010 --> 00:29:11,990 Ever heard the expression? 464 00:29:12,790 --> 00:29:15,250 Or is it only my ignorance being born 465 00:29:15,250 --> 00:29:15,770 in London? 466 00:29:17,470 --> 00:29:20,410 Alright, and that's how it is between the 467 00:29:20,410 --> 00:29:22,570 members of the Godhead, did you know that? 468 00:29:25,090 --> 00:29:27,950 Women are moved by emotion, perhaps. 469 00:29:28,550 --> 00:29:29,290 Oh, so are men. 470 00:29:31,730 --> 00:29:35,530 I'm illustrating what Jesus is talking about. 471 00:29:36,290 --> 00:29:37,930 Are you as hungry as that? 472 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,240 Or just delighted with being able to sing 473 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,620 joy, joy, my heart is full of joy. 474 00:29:50,580 --> 00:29:53,140 What is it that you're after? 475 00:29:55,060 --> 00:29:57,120 Because you'll be no good in this world, 476 00:29:57,260 --> 00:30:00,100 not the God anyway, unless you're in that 477 00:30:00,100 --> 00:30:00,680 position. 478 00:30:04,940 --> 00:30:08,600 It's a big thing for, to let the 479 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:10,960 Lord teach you, he didn't do any miracles, 480 00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,600 he didn't heal anybody that was sick, all 481 00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:17,480 those kind of minor miracles, they didn't do 482 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:17,840 that. 483 00:30:19,020 --> 00:30:21,840 He came away from it, went up a 484 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:26,280 mountain, gave another statement of truth from the 485 00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:27,360 top of the mountain. 486 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:34,560 He, he, may those mountains be many in 487 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:35,220 your life. 488 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:42,780 Things that you might call peak experiences. 489 00:30:45,300 --> 00:30:48,800 May they be so many, it's rather like 490 00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:52,880 Everest in the Himalayan range, but when you 491 00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,160 look at it amongst all the other peaks, 492 00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:57,400 it doesn't look as high as some of 493 00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:57,640 them. 494 00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:01,040 Everest isn't something like this sticking up out 495 00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:04,540 of the earth, there's a whole range of 496 00:31:04,540 --> 00:31:05,000 mountains. 497 00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:14,740 Keep it clear, keep it clear, I've looked 498 00:31:14,740 --> 00:31:20,100 at Everest when I was, out in places 499 00:31:20,100 --> 00:31:22,860 that Norman goes to now, and I don't. 500 00:31:24,140 --> 00:31:29,360 But, beloved, there's peak after peak after peak 501 00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,400 after peak, and it's not suddenly sticking up 502 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:33,740 like that, you've been up this one and 503 00:31:33,740 --> 00:31:35,000 there's sort of a bit of a valley 504 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:36,680 between them, and then you go up another 505 00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:38,240 one and you come down, that is if 506 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:39,080 you're a mountaineer. 507 00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:46,720 Just keep it clean in your heart, will 508 00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:47,200 you beloved? 509 00:31:48,580 --> 00:31:53,420 Because this is, he's exposing the superstitious belief 510 00:31:53,420 --> 00:31:55,940 of a very religious people. 511 00:31:59,260 --> 00:32:01,780 And, and we have to see this. 512 00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:06,140 The father feeds on the son, and the 513 00:32:06,140 --> 00:32:08,140 son feeds on the father. 514 00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:12,100 What my father says, what my father wants. 515 00:32:12,940 --> 00:32:15,880 I'm only here to please my father. 516 00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:18,400 Did you know that he talked like that? 517 00:32:19,500 --> 00:32:22,100 Well that's the implication of what he said. 518 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:30,040 He pleases me well, but that's not his 519 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:31,040 first importance. 520 00:32:31,940 --> 00:32:36,300 If I don't want his father, beloved, and 521 00:32:36,300 --> 00:32:39,120 father's decreed that you don't want his son, 522 00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:41,620 there's no place for us in his kingdom. 523 00:32:44,450 --> 00:32:46,230 And this is the thing for us to 524 00:32:46,230 --> 00:32:46,710 grasp. 525 00:32:48,150 --> 00:32:53,430 I'm treating you as already fundamentally educated men 526 00:32:53,430 --> 00:32:53,870 and women. 527 00:32:56,380 --> 00:32:59,420 You have to be educated in the things 528 00:32:59,420 --> 00:33:00,140 of God. 529 00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:05,620 And if you lack this, sorry indeed is 530 00:33:05,620 --> 00:33:06,440 your position. 531 00:33:09,090 --> 00:33:13,850 You have to go on and up into 532 00:33:13,850 --> 00:33:14,950 the things of God. 533 00:33:15,650 --> 00:33:18,410 These are not things addressed to your mind 534 00:33:18,410 --> 00:33:21,290 only, or even firstly. 535 00:33:25,670 --> 00:33:27,950 And, and we have to see this. 536 00:33:28,290 --> 00:33:37,780 Listen, Jesus said, I am the bread of 537 00:33:37,780 --> 00:33:38,120 life. 538 00:33:39,180 --> 00:33:41,800 And it wasn't Moses that gave me to 539 00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:42,200 you. 540 00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:47,460 And neither was Moses that gave the manna 541 00:33:47,460 --> 00:33:48,940 in the wilderness. 542 00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,720 Oh, they said, evermore give us this bread. 543 00:33:54,860 --> 00:33:57,180 I'm the bread of life that cometh to 544 00:33:57,180 --> 00:33:57,440 me. 545 00:33:57,540 --> 00:34:00,980 And any man comes to me, shall never 546 00:34:00,980 --> 00:34:01,560 hunger. 547 00:34:02,540 --> 00:34:04,880 And he that believeth on me shall never 548 00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:07,320 thirst, which may make you ask the question 549 00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:09,500 whether you've really come to him. 550 00:34:10,620 --> 00:34:12,580 He that cometh to me. 551 00:34:14,159 --> 00:34:16,060 Oh, I've come for rest. 552 00:34:16,980 --> 00:34:17,620 Yeah. 553 00:34:18,260 --> 00:34:23,659 But unless you enjoy rest from self and 554 00:34:23,659 --> 00:34:26,679 sin, you haven't really come to any rest 555 00:34:26,679 --> 00:34:27,260 at all. 556 00:34:32,699 --> 00:34:33,500 Amen. 557 00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:37,060 And God wants to take us on. 558 00:34:37,580 --> 00:34:40,920 You'll never thirst if you believe on me. 559 00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:42,900 You'll never thirst. 560 00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:44,560 I never thirst. 561 00:34:45,659 --> 00:34:47,159 And you'll never thirst. 562 00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:49,120 I'm sharing myself with you. 563 00:34:49,820 --> 00:34:50,900 My experience. 564 00:34:53,020 --> 00:34:55,040 Not just telling you things. 565 00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:58,980 Telling is a poor way of communicating really. 566 00:35:00,780 --> 00:35:03,380 I mean, for instance, some of you men 567 00:35:03,380 --> 00:35:05,360 may grow up to have the fortune of 568 00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:07,080 meeting a nice young lady and you tell 569 00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:08,120 her you love her. 570 00:35:08,300 --> 00:35:10,700 But unless you give yourself to her and 571 00:35:10,700 --> 00:35:13,820 for her, you've betrayed her. 572 00:35:14,780 --> 00:35:16,700 Vice versa, the same too. 573 00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:21,060 And this is the thing. 574 00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:25,160 I mustn't discuss marriage. 575 00:35:26,100 --> 00:35:27,520 That's not my point. 576 00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:30,660 Let's go on. 577 00:35:31,820 --> 00:35:32,780 Listen. 578 00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:37,200 I said unto you that you also have 579 00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:41,680 seen me and believe not. 580 00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:46,160 All that the Father giveth me shall come 581 00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:46,640 to me. 582 00:35:47,540 --> 00:35:51,080 Him that cometh to me I will in 583 00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:53,120 no wise cast out. 584 00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:58,180 For I came down from heaven not to 585 00:35:58,180 --> 00:36:03,360 do mine own will, but the will of 586 00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:04,700 him that sent me. 587 00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:07,060 And this is the Father's will which has 588 00:36:07,060 --> 00:36:09,780 sent me that of all which he hath 589 00:36:09,780 --> 00:36:13,500 given me I should lose nothing but should 590 00:36:13,500 --> 00:36:17,360 raise it up again at the last day. 591 00:36:17,660 --> 00:36:19,200 This is the will of him that sent 592 00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:21,360 me that every one which seeth the sun 593 00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:26,960 and believeth on him may have everlasting life. 594 00:36:27,720 --> 00:36:31,180 And I will raise him up at the 595 00:36:31,180 --> 00:36:32,580 last day. 596 00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:36,840 The Jews then murmured at him because he 597 00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:39,140 said I am the bread which came down 598 00:36:39,140 --> 00:36:39,820 from heaven. 599 00:36:40,220 --> 00:36:42,320 And they said is not this Jesus the 600 00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:43,380 son of Joseph? 601 00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:46,280 You've got a comma after Jesus, it shouldn't 602 00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:46,760 be there. 603 00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:50,200 This Jesus, there were plenty of Jesuses on 604 00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:51,880 the earth when Jesus was on, quite a 605 00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:52,560 common name. 606 00:36:55,030 --> 00:36:57,610 Is not this Jesus the son of Joseph? 607 00:36:58,770 --> 00:37:00,610 Who is father and mother we know. 608 00:37:01,030 --> 00:37:03,090 How is it then that he saith I 609 00:37:03,090 --> 00:37:04,530 came down from heaven? 610 00:37:06,390 --> 00:37:10,330 Jesus therefore answered and said unto murmur not 611 00:37:10,330 --> 00:37:14,490 among yourselves no man can come to me 612 00:37:14,490 --> 00:37:17,870 except the father which has sent me draw 613 00:37:17,870 --> 00:37:21,490 him and I will raise

00:37:31,670 to Jesus? 618 00:37:34,780 --> 00:37:36,900 I decided for Jesus. 619 00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:39,360 Aren't you a wonderful person then? 620 00:37:40,740 --> 00:37:45,040 You are drawn to him. 621 00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:50,460 When it was happening, except that you'd probably 622 00:37:50,460 --> 00:37:53,600 been in churches all your life, you wondered 623 00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:56,940 what this strange drawing was. 624 00:37:59,180 --> 00:38:01,620 Sometimes perhaps against your will. 625 00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:04,120 Drawn. 626 00:38:05,700 --> 00:38:07,820 I must confess I'm very weak. 627 00:38:07,940 --> 00:38:09,340 He drew me fairly easily. 628 00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:13,800 But you don't want to be strong in 629 00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:17,460 stubborn self

You, your soul, your spirit was laid hold 647 00:39:13,410 --> 00:39:15,710 of by God and drew you and you 648 00:39:15,710 --> 00:39:18,870 couldn't understand and you were as ignorant as 649 00:39:18,870 --> 00:39:19,490 an animal. 650 00:39:20,390 --> 00:39:20,890 Me too. 651 00:39:23,570 --> 00:39:26,050 You understand you were drawn. 652 00:39:31,530 --> 00:39:32,190 Drawn. 653

things. 656 00:39:58,000 --> 00:39:58,800 Amen. 657 00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:02,020 They shall all be taught of God. 658 00:40:02,580 --> 00:40:05,420 God taught your dumb spirit. 659 00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:08,140 Drew you. 660 00:40:09,240 --> 00:40:10,240 Drew you. 661 00:40:14,220 --> 00:40:19,260 Your understanding just sort of came to life 662 00:40:19,260 --> 00:40:20,440 a bit after that. 663 00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:26,960 Ignorant, talk about ignorant, with such an educated 664 00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:29,740 nation now, in fact the whole world, the 665 00:40:29,740 --> 00:40:37,060 western world anyway, is taught so much about 666 00:40:37,060 --> 00:40:38,500 the human psyche. 667 00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:41,840 We have a science called psychology or Mr 668 00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:42,420 E out. 669 00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:44,080 That's right. 670 00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:46,380 Now everybody knows everything. 671 00:40:46,740 --> 00:40:48,660 They don't know a thing most of them 672 00:40:48,660 --> 00:40:49,260 that teach it. 673 00:40:50,500 --> 00:40:53,780 They don't know the fundamental difference between spirit 674 00:40:53,780 --> 00:40:54,660 and soul. 675 00:41:02,980 --> 00:41:04,500 I'll ask you a question. 676 00:41:06,140 --> 00:41:08,680 Are you spiritually aware of God? 677 00:41:09,460 --> 00:41:10,900 I don't mean at the odd times when 678 00:41:10,900 --> 00:41:12,420 you pray or go to church. 679 00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:17,120 Or soulishly aware at times. 680 00:41:21,390 --> 00:41:22,610 Is there a difference? 681 00:41:23,330 --> 00:41:26,250 Yes, it's only slight, but it's there. 682 00:41:31,190 --> 00:41:34,490 But I won't discuss psychology or such as 683 00:41:34,490 --> 00:41:36,370 judgment, a judge upon them. 684 00:41:39,490 --> 00:41:44,170 The thing you have to know, beloved, is 685 00:41:44,170 --> 00:41:47,370 this mysterious spirit that they can't talk about 686 00:41:47,370 --> 00:41:50,410 because their spirit is dead inside them. 687 00:41:51,410 --> 00:41:52,390 So they don't know. 688 00:41:54,930 --> 00:42:00,250 And only those who've been drawn by God. 689 00:42:02,230 --> 00:42:03,010 Hallelujah. 690 00:42:03,370 --> 00:42:04,530 Do you know what he's doing? 691 00:42:05,130 --> 00:42:10,450 He's selecting a bride for his bridegroom's son. 692 00:42:14,460 --> 00:42:16,040 I'm coming along in the car. 693 00:42:16,180 --> 00:42:17,640 We discussed a little bit about this. 694 00:42:17,740 --> 00:42:20,500 Not like, you see, but we will know 695 00:42:20,500 --> 00:42:21,240 the truth. 696 00:42:21,500 --> 00:42:23,720 The four of us had a great time. 697 00:42:25,420 --> 00:42:26,960 I did a lot of listening. 698 00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:33,140 We are not aware of the things that 699 00:42:33,140 --> 00:42:34,560 are happening inside us. 700 00:42:35,060 --> 00:42:38,840 No, you don't. 701 00:42:38,900 --> 00:42:40,760 You've only got a soulish experience. 702 00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:43,700 Of course you have. 703 00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:47,280 There's something much more wonderful. 704 00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:52,380 That's why several times, twice, I think in 705 00:42:52,380 --> 00:42:54,920 the Old Testament, we're told we must dwell 706 00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:58,080 deep, deep. 707 00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:03,720 Too much superficiality now takes the place of 708 00:43:03,720 --> 00:43:07,000 praise and worship of the genuine thought in 709 00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:07,660 churches. 710 00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:14,100 Usually it's the happiness of man that's being 711 00:43:14,100 --> 00:43:14,740 expressed. 712 00:43:24,610 --> 00:43:27,690 I was preaching on this yesterday morning. 713 00:43:28,070 --> 00:43:30,170 Well, not quite these lines, associated. 714 00:43:37,100 --> 00:43:43,100 When God has harmonized you, spirit, soul, and 715 00:43:43,100 --> 00:43:48,260 body, with the proper man, Jesus Christ, his 716 00:43:48,260 --> 00:43:52,340 son, you're beginning to make progress. 717 00:43:56,220 --> 00:44:01,860 Your whole spirit, soul, and body, one whole. 718 00:44:05,350 --> 00:44:09,850 All divisions of a human personality are artificial. 719 00:44:10,370 --> 00:44:11,370 You are one. 720 00:44:14,670 --> 00:44:17,830 And you have to come into a realization 721 00:44:17,830 --> 00:44:18,750 of this. 722 00:44:20,510 --> 00:44:23,170 In other words, your body will display what 723 00:44:23,170 --> 00:44:24,350 your spirit is. 724 00:44:25,210 --> 00:44:27,090 Now you be careful how you dress it. 725 00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:34,760 You be careful what you do with it. 726 00:44:38,050 --> 00:44:40,290 If you can get your mother to make 727 00:44:40,290 --> 00:44:42,210 you a seamless dress, you're all right. 728 00:44:45,250 --> 00:44:48,670 See, this man's talking in riddles, using phrases 729 00:44:48,670 --> 00:44:49,810 I'm not used to. 730 00:44:50,410 --> 00:44:54,550 Well, your mother, friend, in your new birth, 731 00:44:55,470 --> 00:44:58,230 even as your father is the father, and 732 00:44:58,230 --> 00:45:00,290 you are the son that's born, is the 733 00:45:00,290 --> 00:45:02,830 Holy Ghost that had to come on Mary 734 00:45:02,830 --> 00:45:04,810 before she could bear the child. 735 00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:11,820 This is the wonder. 736 00:45:13,020 --> 00:45:15,060 This doesn't leave you at liberty to do 737 00:45:15,060 --> 00:45:20,820 what you want, unless your wants are God's 738 00:45:20,820 --> 00:45:21,260 wants. 739 00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:25,140 Amen. 740 00:45:25,720 --> 00:45:27,560 Now, I didn't intend to say all that 741 00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:29,140 to you, but then I'm not a lecturer, 742 00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:30,240 as you can see. 743 00:45:33,380 --> 00:45:36,940 Here the thing is put before us very 744 00:45:36,940 --> 00:45:37,980 plainly. 745 00:45:38,660 --> 00:45:44,020 They shall all be taught of God. 746 00:45:45,340 --> 00:45:55,540 Every man, therefore, that hath heard and 747 00:45:55,540 --> 00:46:02,560 hath learned of or from the Father, cometh 748 00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:03,020 unto me. 749 00:46:03,100 --> 00:46:04,260 That's the net result of it. 750 00:46:05,980 --> 00:46:09,920 If I hear what God is saying, and 751 00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:13,140 if I learn what God is saying, the 752 00:46:13,140 --> 00:46:16,020 net result is the Jesus life in me. 753 00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:18,480 I come to Jesus. 754 00:46:20,180 --> 00:46:22,860 Oh, I've always thought of Jesus Christ, so 755 00:46:22,860 --> 00:46:24,420 my mother said, come to me. 756 00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:26,300 Oh, yeah, yeah, it's quite valid. 757 00:46:26,720 --> 00:46:30,840 But he simplified it into milksop stuff then. 758 00:46:31,100 --> 00:46:35,280 This is the truth that's the heart of 759 00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:35,780 everything. 760 00:46:37,660 --> 00:46:42,760 If you're searching, you're searching for the Father. 761 00:46:42,860 --> 00:46:45,400 If you're still searching for Jesus Christ, you've 762 00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:46,480 never really begun. 763 00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:56,720 So God wants us to see and understand 764 00:46:56,720 --> 00:46:58,360 this great truth. 765 00:46:58,640 --> 00:46:59,620 Now, let's go on. 766 00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:02,540 I've labored that purposely. 767 00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:06,660 Not that any man has seen the Father, 768 00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:09,840 save he which is of God. 769 00:47:10,300 --> 00:47:12,280 He hath seen the Father. 770 00:47:14,260 --> 00:47:15,280 I've seen him. 771 00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:15,960 Have you? 772 00:47:17,720 --> 00:47:19,520 Oh, I don't mean with these eyes. 773 00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:22,940 I've seen him. 774 00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:27,280 We were talking about this yesterday morning for 775 00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:28,600 those that have come from Warrington. 776 00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:34,520 We've seen, we've heard, we've handled. 777 00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:41,200 You haven't got a valid testimony that that's 778 00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:43,000 Christ, whatever, and your testimony is, well, I 779 00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:45,360 was in drugs, or I was a drunkard, 780 00:47:45,460 --> 00:47:47,800 or I was a thief, or I was 781 00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:49,960 this and that and the other, and so 782 00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:50,440 on and so on. 783 00:47:50,460 --> 00:47:51,420 It's good testimony. 784 00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:55,680 It's not good enough when you stand before 785 00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:56,440 that throne. 786 00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:58,160 That was a beginning for you. 787 00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:01,940 That was only a beginning. 788 00:48:03,460 --> 00:48:06,500 But we've got itching ears, and we import 789 00:48:06,500 --> 00:48:08,120 these people, come and give you a testimony, 790 00:48:08,120 --> 00:48:09,560 a wonderful testimony you've got. 791 00:48:09,900 --> 00:48:11,280 You come and we'll give you a Sunday 792 00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:13,020 night to give you a testimony or something 793 00:48:13,020 --> 00:48:13,420 like that. 794 00:48:17,330 --> 00:48:19,290 It's good to hear what God can do. 795 00:48:20,390 --> 00:48:22,730 But how about some people, people like, well, 796 00:48:22,770 --> 00:48:23,530 I was one of them. 797 00:48:24,430 --> 00:48:26,930 I don't think I ever swore about three 798 00:48:26,930 --> 00:48:28,370 or four times in my life. 799 00:48:28,710 --> 00:48:30,550 I was born in the gutters of Bethnal 800 00:48:30,550 --> 00:48:30,990 Green. 801 00:48:31,530 --> 00:48:32,990 I didn't know what drugs was. 802 00:48:33,670 --> 00:48:37,750 To alcohol, I detested the sound of it, 803 00:48:37,790 --> 00:48:39,670 let alone the taste of it, let alone 804 00:48:39,670 --> 00:48:40,410 the smell of it. 805 00:48:41,970 --> 00:48:43,790 They say, now, you're goody, goody. 806 00:48:44,150 --> 00:48:45,770 No, I wasn't a goody, goody. 807 00:48:46,130 --> 00:48:47,950 I couldn't do it. 808 00:48:49,270 --> 00:48:51,190 When the boys in the street used to 809 00:48:51,190 --> 00:48:53,410 gamble with cards, I would stand and watch 810 00:48:53,410 --> 00:48:55,190 them, and I was never, though they said, 811 00:48:55,330 --> 00:48:56,350 Northy, come on. 812 00:48:56,790 -->

it's in the Bible, they want to 819 00:49:21,850 --> 00:49:22,490 preach it. 820 00:49:24,310 --> 00:49:27,830 You never make the Bible live unless it's 821 00:49:27,830 --> 00:49:28,990 coming through you. 822 00:49:30,010 --> 00:49:31,010 Do you understand? 823 00:49:33,470 --> 00:49:35,410 The Word was with God. 824 00:49:35,550 --> 00:49:37,270 This is where we started in the first 825 00:49:37,270 --> 00:49:37,710 chapter. 826 00:49:37,710 --> 00:49:40,390 The Word was made flesh. 827 00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:50,580 Amen, amen, and amen to. 828 00:49:51,420 --> 00:49:53,780 I'm the bread of life, he said. 829 00:49:54,900 --> 00:49:58,040 Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness 830 00:49:58,040 --> 00:49:59,180 and are dead. 831 00:50:00,900 --> 00:50:04,880 This is the bread which cometh down from 832 00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:09,540 heaven, the man may eat thereof and not 833 00:50:09,540 --> 00:50:10,200 die. 834 00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:14,620 Not die. 835 00:50:15,260 --> 00:50:19,920 I am the living bread which, oh dear, 836 00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:22,400 let me just finish reading. 837 00:50:22,740 --> 00:50:25,400 Time's gone, but I'll just finish this. 838 00:50:25,580 --> 00:50:29,800 I'm the living bread which came down from 839 00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:30,240 heaven. 840 00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:34,740 I'm the living bread, living bread. 841 00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:40,360 Notice that's different from saying I am the 842 00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:41,340 bread of life. 843 00:50:42,380 --> 00:50:44,980 Notice the change of grammar. 844 00:50:47,380 --> 00:50:53,460 And I'll live in you if you eat 845 00:50:53,460 --> 00:50:53,820 me. 846 00:50:55,700 --> 00:50:59,320 If any man is to eat this bread, 847 00:50:59,820 --> 00:51:01,480 he shall live forever. 848 00:51:02,840 --> 00:51:04,900 And the bread that I will give is 849 00:51:04,900 --> 00:51:09,280 my flesh, which I will give for the 850 00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:10,320 life of the world. 851 00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:13,060 Amen. 852 00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:14,480 Break. 853 00:51:16,770 --> 00:51:18,260 Cup of tea, please.
