1
00:00:00,230 --> 00:00:02,110
You want God to hear you, you need

2
00:00:02,110 --> 00:00:03,610
to be obedient to Him.

3
00:00:04,790 --> 00:00:08,390
My daughter, my son, when you are disobedient

4
00:00:08,390 --> 00:00:11,070
to your parents, don't ever expect them to

5
00:00:11,070 --> 00:00:12,130
do things your way.

6
00:00:13,290 --> 00:00:14,250
Anybody home?

7
00:00:14,810 --> 00:00:16,610
When the mom comes and says to you,

8
00:00:16,690 --> 00:00:19,190
darling, daughter, come let's go, you say no.

9
00:00:19,470 --> 00:00:21,310
Come let's cook, you say no.

10
00:00:21,470 --> 00:00:22,610
Come let's clean, you say no.

11
00:00:22,750 --> 00:00:24,130
You always say no to mom.

12
00:00:24,330 --> 00:00:26,510
Why are you expecting mom to do what

13
00:00:26,510 --> 00:00:26,970
you wish?

14
00:00:27,650 --> 00:00:30,130
You want mom to hear your request, to

15
00:00:30,130 --> 00:00:31,009
grant your request?

16
00:00:31,130 --> 00:00:33,230
You better be obedient to your mom and

17
00:00:33,230 --> 00:00:35,010
to your dad in order for the parents

18
00:00:35,010 --> 00:00:36,910
to respect what you're asking for.

19
00:00:38,390 --> 00:00:42,450
How much more God, the perfect Father, the

20
00:00:42,450 --> 00:00:43,350
perfect parents.

21
00:00:44,510 --> 00:00:45,450
How is He going to listen to us

22
00:00:45,450 --> 00:00:47,250
if we are disobedient to Him?

23
00:00:48,490 --> 00:00:50,730
We need to be obedient in order for

24
00:00:50,730 --> 00:00:53,290
God to hear our prayers and grant them

25
00:00:53,290 --> 00:00:54,470
and grant them.

26
00:00:55,710 --> 00:01:00,130
You see, though he was a son, son

27
00:01:00,130 --> 00:01:02,390
of God, yet he learned obedience by the

28
00:01:02,390 --> 00:01:03,370
things which he suffered.

29
00:01:04,590 --> 00:01:09,650
Now a question, was Christ not obedient?

30
00:01:10,990 --> 00:01:13,090
Because you're saying, yet he was a son,

31
00:01:13,610 --> 00:01:15,610
son of God, he learned obedience.

32
00:01:16,070 --> 00:01:17,190
Does that mean he was not obedient?

33
00:01:17,970 --> 00:01:19,390
Of course not, he was obedient.

34
00:01:20,190 --> 00:01:21,930
But what does that mean he was, he

35
00:01:21,930 --> 00:01:23,790
learned obedience?

36
00:01:24,690 --> 00:01:25,970
He learned obedience.

37
00:01:27,670 --> 00:01:29,650
You see, some criticize the gospel and say,

38
00:01:29,830 --> 00:01:31,230
how is it that Christ is the son

39
00:01:31,230 --> 00:01:32,770
of God and yet he learned obedience?

40
00:01:33,050 --> 00:01:34,530
We get attacked on this.

41
00:01:35,910 --> 00:01:37,750
How is it Christ, you Christians claim that

42
00:01:37,750 --> 00:01:39,330
Christ is the son of God, but here

43
00:01:39,330 --> 00:01:41,410
it says in Hebrew 5.8, he learned

44
00:01:41,410 --> 00:01:41,810
obedience.

45
00:01:42,190 --> 00:01:43,630
So there is contradiction.

46
00:01:44,150 --> 00:01:45,130
On one hand, he's the son of God,

47
00:01:45,170 --> 00:01:46,850
he should be always obedient, but he's saying

48
00:01:46,850 --> 00:01:48,270
here, he learned obedience.

49
00:01:48,370 --> 00:01:48,990
So which one is it?

50
00:01:48,990 --> 00:01:50,510
No, no, no, he is the son of

51
00:01:50,510 --> 00:01:52,890
God and he learned obedience and it's so

52
00:01:52,890 --> 00:01:54,850
absolutely beautifully said.

53
00:01:55,010 --> 00:01:56,050
I'll explain to you.

54
00:01:56,550 --> 00:01:59,270
Let's look at an example, John the prophet.

55
00:02:00,050 --> 00:02:01,850
John the prophet, God came to him and

56
00:02:01,850 --> 00:02:03,150
said, I want you to go to Nineveh,

57
00:02:03,230 --> 00:02:03,530
Iraq.

58
00:02:03,990 --> 00:02:07,690
He went to Tarshish, Spain, opposite direction.

59
00:02:08,050 --> 00:02:10,210
He was disobedient to God.

60
00:02:10,490 --> 00:02:13,330
God put him through tribulations, hardships, the whale

61
00:02:13,330 --> 00:02:14,050
swallowed him.

62
00:02:14,270 --> 00:02:16,350
He remained three days in the, in the

63
00:02:16,350 --> 00:02:17,870
belly of that whale, in the depth of

64
00:02:17,870 --> 00:02:19,990
that sea, absolute darkness alone.

65
00:02:20,310 --> 00:02:21,130
Nobody can hear him.

66
00:02:21,410 --> 00:02:22,410
Nobody can come to his rescue.

67
00:02:22,730 --> 00:02:26,710
He realized his mistake for being disobedient, begged

68
00:02:26,710 --> 00:02:27,430
God for mercy.

69
00:02:27,730 --> 00:02:28,650
Just get me out of here.

70
00:02:28,930 --> 00:02:30,330
I'll do whatever you say.

71
00:02:30,790 --> 00:02:34,090
John learned how to be obedient after going

72
00:02:34,090 --> 00:02:39,630
through tribulations, but Christ learned obedience.

73
00:02:39,930 --> 00:02:40,170
How?

74
00:02:41,930 --> 00:02:46,750
Prior Christ, prior to his incarnation, he, he

75
00:02:46,750 --> 00:02:49,450
commanded others and they obeyed him.

76
00:02:50,190 --> 00:02:54,390
After incarnation, he was commanded and he obeyed.

77
00:02:55,770 --> 00:02:58,870
Prior to his incarnation, he is God and

78
00:02:58,870 --> 00:03:01,490
God gives orders and everybody obeys those orders.

79
00:03:02,010 --> 00:03:06,630
After this, God put on the flesh, he

80
00:03:06,630 --> 00:03:09,130
was commanded by God the father to do

81
00:03:09,130 --> 00:03:10,850
things and he obeyed.

82
00:03:10,950 --> 00:03:13,630
He had to learn how to be obedient

83
00:03:13,630 --> 00:03:15,870
once he put the flesh on.

84
00:03:16,610 --> 00:03:18,790
He was never used to be given orders

85
00:03:18,790 --> 00:03:21,070
prior to the flesh being put on because

86
00:03:21,070 --> 00:03:21,490
he's God.

87
00:03:21,990 --> 00:03:22,870
No one orders God.

88
00:03:23,070 --> 00:03:25,710
God orders everyone and everyone listens, but this

89
00:03:25,710 --> 00:03:26,410
God became man.

90
00:03:26,610 --> 00:03:30,370
When he became man, he became lesser and

91
00:03:30,370 --> 00:03:31,790
there is another authority above him.

92
00:03:32,070 --> 00:03:33,670
That's why he had to learn to be

93
00:03:33,670 --> 00:03:34,170
obedient.

94
00:03:34,930 --> 00:03:38,090
The one who commanded is now being commanded.

95
00:03:39,290 --> 00:03:39,890
Amazing.

96
00:03:41,030 --> 00:03:42,550
I hope you got what I said.

97
00:03:44,150 --> 00:03:45,750
Now you see the picture in the garden

98
00:03:45,750 --> 00:03:47,710
of Gethsemane is absolutely beautiful.

99
00:03:48,230 --> 00:03:50,570
The Lord Jesus laid the foundation that he

100
00:03:50,570 --> 00:03:52,510
will enter the cross press.

101
00:03:52,950 --> 00:03:54,370
He got pressed on the cross.

102
00:03:54,830 --> 00:03:58,810
That olive became crushed, that grape became crushed

103
00:03:58,810 --> 00:03:59,830
on the cross.

104
00:04:00,290 --> 00:04:03,970
He trodden the wine press alone, Isaiah 63.

105
00:04:04,130 --> 00:04:06,130
He got crushed on the cross.

106
00:04:07,070 --> 00:04:09,850
He got crushed on the cross, my beloved.

107
00:04:10,770 --> 00:04:13,350
He is the stone which David striked Goliath

108
00:04:13,350 --> 00:04:15,850
and Christ is the true stone which will

109
00:04:15,850 --> 00:04:17,149
strike Satan.

110
00:04:18,649 --> 00:04:23,890
Which will strike Satan and achieve victory to

111
00:04:23,890 --> 00:04:25,950
bring us back to the garden, i.e.

112
00:04:25,950 --> 00:04:27,690
paradise once again.

113
00:04:28,370 --> 00:04:33,230
For this reason, on resurrection day when the

114
00:04:33,230 --> 00:04:35,430
Lord rose from the dead, he was in

115
00:04:35,430 --> 00:04:36,550
the garden of Gethsemane.

116
00:04:36,790 --> 00:04:40,430
Mary Magdalene comes looking for the Lord.

117
00:04:40,670 --> 00:04:41,270
Where is the master?

118
00:04:41,810 --> 00:04:44,170
She sees someone there.

119
00:04:44,630 --> 00:04:46,430
She calls him gardener.

120
00:04:48,370 --> 00:04:49,370
Now was she wrong?

121
00:04:49,610 --> 00:04:49,890
No.

122
00:04:50,430 --> 00:04:52,350
Mary Magdalene was not wrong when she called

123
00:04:52,350 --> 00:04:55,410
Jesus gardener because he is the true gardener.

124
00:04:55,650 --> 00:05:01,290
You see my beloved, the first gardener lost

125
00:05:01,290 --> 00:05:04,390
everything that is Adam, but the second gardener

126
00:05:04,390 --> 00:05:07,090
brought back everything that was lost.

127
00:05:07,690 --> 00:05:10,110
So when she called him gardener, she was

128
00:05:10,110 --> 00:05:11,110
absolutely correct.

129
00:05:12,230 --> 00:05:13,590
He is the true gardener.

130
00:05:15,250 --> 00:05:18,430
Adam got kicked out of the garden, paradise,

131
00:05:18,850 --> 00:05:21,970
for failing being a good gardener.

132
00:05:22,270 --> 00:05:26,510
Jesus entered the garden paradise and accomplished God's

133
00:05:26,510 --> 00:05:29,670
will and word to the fullest and became

134
00:05:29,670 --> 00:05:30,670
the true gardener.

135
00:05:30,950 --> 00:05:33,510
Gardener, tell me, where have they taken him?

136
00:05:35,210 --> 00:05:37,390
And he turns and says, Mariam.

137
00:05:39,390 --> 00:05:42,610
The tone, she recognized him by his voice,

138
00:05:43,110 --> 00:05:45,550
not by seeing him, but by hearing him.

139
00:05:46,170 --> 00:05:47,950
And this is how we recognize the Lord

140
00:05:47,950 --> 00:05:48,350
first.

141
00:05:49,350 --> 00:05:51,430
You can't see him unless you hear him

142
00:05:51,430 --> 00:05:54,730
first and recognize his voice because Christ is

143
00:05:54,730 --> 00:05:56,190
the logos, the word.

144
00:05:56,410 --> 00:05:59,070
The word in its nature can only be

145
00:05:59,070 --> 00:06:01,950
heard first and then when you hear it,

146
00:06:02,230 --> 00:06:04,550
believe it, accept it, then the word will

147
00:06:04,550 --> 00:06:05,610
reveal himself to you.

148
00:06:05,830 --> 00:06:07,610
You cannot find him, he will find you.

149
00:06:07,790 --> 00:06:09,690
But your job is when you hear his

150
00:06:09,690 --> 00:06:12,070
voice, do not shut the door in his

151
00:06:12,070 --> 00:06:12,350
face.

152
00:06:12,770 --> 00:06:14,590
Believe in that voice, believe in the word

153
00:06:14,590 --> 00:06:16,230
you heard, and when you believe in what

154
00:06:16,230 --> 00:06:18,490
you've heard, Christ will reveal himself to you.

155
00:06:18,690 --> 00:06:21,130
When he said Mariam, the tone, the voice

156
00:06:21,130 --> 00:06:23,750
of Christ, she recognized him and said, Rabooli,

157
00:06:23,990 --> 00:06:25,150
the teacher of all teachers.

158
00:06:25,770 --> 00:06:27,250
Well you just saw me, Mary.

159
00:06:27,450 --> 00:06:28,610
Why didn't you recognize me?

160
00:06:28,770 --> 00:06:33,730
Because I was faithless and faith cometh through

161
00:06:33,730 --> 00:06:34,150
hearing.

162
00:06:35,590 --> 00:06:37,770
That faith was restored to Mary when she

163
00:06:37,770 --> 00:06:41,630
heard the voice of the logos, Mariam.

164
00:06:42,430 --> 00:06:44,570
The moment she heard the voice, believed in

165
00:06:44,570 --> 00:06:48,190
that voice, faith came back, she recognized him.

166
00:06:50,690 --> 00:06:53,670
And when you recognize him, that means Christ

167
00:06:53,670 --> 00:06:54,870
has revealed himself to you.

168
00:06:58,490 --> 00:07:02,470
The second gardener brought us back all, brought

169
00:07:02,470 --> 00:07:03,830
back all that was lost.

170
00:07:04,310 --> 00:07:07,170
The gardener brought us all back to the

171
00:07:07,170 --> 00:07:08,170
garden again.

172
00:07:09,030 --> 00:07:13,250
Tears of the garden opened to us paradise.

173
00:07:17,230 --> 00:07:19,550
The Lord Jesus, while hanging on the cross,

174
00:07:20,170 --> 00:07:22,870
said to the thief at his right, truly

175
00:07:22,870 --> 00:07:25,250
I say to you, today you will be

176
00:07:25,250 --> 00:07:26,150
with me in paradise.

177
00:07:26,550 --> 00:07:29,150
The true gardener brought us back to the

178
00:07:29,150 --> 00:07:30,110
garden paradise.

179
00:07:30,650 --> 00:07:33,370
Well, truly I say to you, today you

180
00:07:33,370 --> 00:07:34,470
will be with me in paradise.

181
00:07:34,730 --> 00:07:35,750
Luke 23 43.

182
00:07:37,870 --> 00:07:40,070
Here we recap on what we've said in

183
00:07:40,070 --> 00:07:40,890
the last four weeks.

184
00:07:42,170 --> 00:07:44,330
The Lord Jesus first teased.

185
00:07:45,870 --> 00:07:48,930
The first teas were wept at the Lazarus,

186
00:07:49,350 --> 00:07:50,910
were wept at the tomb of Lazarus.

187
00:07:51,110 --> 00:07:53,410
Those teas, what did they do?

188
00:07:54,290 --> 00:07:57,210
Death was defeated, brought Lazarus out of the

189
00:07:57,210 --> 00:07:59,850
tomb and broke the sting of death.

190
00:08:00,370 --> 00:08:02,910
Death was defeated, brought Lazarus out of the

191
00:08:02,910 --> 00:08:05,470
tomb and broke the sting of death.

192
00:08:05,770 --> 00:08:08,230
The first teas dealt with death and gave

193
00:08:08,230 --> 00:08:08,750
us resurrection.

194
00:08:09,190 --> 00:08:11,950
The second teas of the Lord, restored peace

195
00:08:11,950 --> 00:08:15,910
to the city of your heart, Jerusalem.

196
00:08:16,650 --> 00:08:17,650
Restored peace.

197
00:08:18,450 --> 00:08:20,670
Why peace had to be restored?

198
00:08:21,210 --> 00:08:24,190
Because the moment we sin, the first thing

199
00:08:24,190 --> 00:08:25,970
we lose is our peace.

200
00:08:27,690 --> 00:08:29,030
Have we noticed?

201
00:08:29,970 --> 00:08:33,570
When we do something wrong, you feel empty,

202
00:08:34,030 --> 00:08:36,730
you feel void, you feel confused, you feel

203
00:08:36,730 --> 00:08:39,850
lost, disorientated, you don't know what you're doing,

204
00:08:39,970 --> 00:08:41,450
you don't know who you are, you don't

205
00:08:41,450 --> 00:08:43,790
know where you are, you don't know where

206
00:08:43,790 --> 00:08:45,070
to start or where to end.

207
00:08:45,470 --> 00:08:47,470
It is an absolute mess.

208
00:08:47,730 --> 00:08:47,910
Why?

209
00:08:48,270 --> 00:08:53,150
Because peace is lost through sin and that

210
00:08:53,150 --> 00:08:57,050
peace Christ came to bestow on your heart.

211
00:08:57,630 --> 00:08:59,830
That's Jerusalem, the city of peace.

212
00:09:00,730 --> 00:09:03,630
So the second teas of the Lord were

213
00:09:03,630 --> 00:09:06,270
to bring that peace once again to our

214
00:09:06,270 --> 00:09:09,850
hearts and live in harmony with the Lord.

215
00:09:12,290 --> 00:09:13,390
No more enemies.

216
00:09:14,590 --> 00:09:15,790
We are in peace now.

217
00:09:16,170 --> 00:09:17,590
No more fighting you Lord.

218
00:09:18,190 --> 00:09:19,650
No more arguing with you Lord.

219
00:09:20,090 --> 00:09:22,570
No more being disobedient to you Lord.

220
00:09:22,930 --> 00:09:24,490
When the Lord called me to the church,

221
00:09:24,550 --> 00:09:25,290
I went to the club.

222
00:09:25,490 --> 00:09:26,790
I was fighting him.

223
00:09:27,410 --> 00:09:28,590
I was going against him.

224
00:09:28,830 --> 00:09:30,390
The Lord says pray and I didn't.

225
00:09:30,550 --> 00:09:32,030
The Lord says fast and I didn't.

226
00:09:32,210 --> 00:09:33,650
The Lord says come to the light and

227
00:09:33,650 --> 00:09:34,370
I went to darkness.

228
00:09:34,650 --> 00:09:35,850
The Lord says come to the church and

229
00:09:35,850 --> 00:09:36,510
I went to the club.

230
00:09:36,730 --> 00:09:38,250
The Lord says come to me, I Jesus

231
00:09:38,250 --> 00:09:41,310
Christ and I chose Satan, not Christ.

232
00:09:41,910 --> 00:09:42,970
We were in a battle.

233
00:09:43,370 --> 00:09:46,270
We were fighting one another until he cried

234
00:09:46,270 --> 00:09:49,650
and wept over the heart that was conquered

235
00:09:49,650 --> 00:09:51,650
by sin and lost its peace.

236
00:09:52,130 --> 00:09:55,750
The teas of Christ reinstated that peace.

237
00:09:55,990 --> 00:09:58,810
The moment that peace entered my heart, I

238
00:09:58,810 --> 00:10:00,310
said what have I done?

239
00:10:01,770 --> 00:10:03,190
Why did I do all that?

240
00:10:04,190 --> 00:10:05,290
I was so blind.

241
00:10:06,490 --> 00:10:09,490
I was so lost yet I thought I

242
00:10:09,490 --> 00:10:10,550
was doing everything right.

243
00:10:11,890 --> 00:10:15,050
Until Christ wakes you up, you'll never realize

244
00:10:15,050 --> 00:10:15,650
what you're doing.

245
00:10:16,350 --> 00:10:18,350
Do not be shocked for the world to

246
00:10:18,350 --> 00:10:21,350
act so evil yet they think they're doing

247
00:10:21,350 --> 00:10:21,710
good.

248
00:10:22,030 --> 00:10:23,930
Do not be shocked because they're blind.

249
00:10:24,270 --> 00:10:25,810
There is no peace in the world because

250
00:10:25,810 --> 00:10:27,270
the one who rules the world is Satan.

251
00:10:27,610 --> 00:10:28,870
Satan has no peace in him.

252
00:10:29,270 --> 00:10:30,650
Where are you going to get peace if

253
00:10:30,650 --> 00:10:31,950
there is no source for that peace?

254
00:10:32,110 --> 00:10:33,750
The only source of peace is Jesus Christ

255
00:10:33,750 --> 00:10:36,110
of Nazareth who is God and the only

256
00:10:36,110 --> 00:10:37,330
true living God my beloved.

257
00:10:37,570 --> 00:10:38,890
That's where peace comes from.

258
00:10:39,190 --> 00:10:40,250
It doesn't come from a prophet.

259
00:10:40,530 --> 00:10:41,730
It doesn't come from a holy man.

260
00:10:41,950 --> 00:10:43,090
It doesn't come from a good teacher.

261
00:10:43,310 --> 00:10:44,530
It doesn't come from no humans.

262
00:10:44,730 --> 00:10:47,550
It comes from God, the true divine living

263
00:10:47,550 --> 00:10:50,710
God, the creator of all and this true

264
00:10:50,710 --> 00:10:52,950
living God was revealed in the flesh over

265
00:10:52,950 --> 00:10:53,970
2,000 years ago.

266
00:10:53,970 --> 00:10:56,210
He was crucified in the times of Pontius

267
00:10:56,210 --> 00:10:56,650
Pilate.

268
00:10:57,290 --> 00:11:00,030
He was buried in the flesh but he

269
00:11:00,030 --> 00:11:01,910
rose from the dead and his tomb is

270
00:11:01,910 --> 00:11:02,650
empty.

271
00:11:02,850 --> 00:11:05,910
The sepulcher church cries out every year and

272
00:11:05,910 --> 00:11:06,530
every day.

273
00:11:08,270 --> 00:11:10,430
Until when world are you going to be

274
00:11:10,430 --> 00:11:10,810
blind?

275
00:11:11,410 --> 00:11:13,530
Until when are you going to choose to

276
00:11:13,530 --> 00:11:16,230
remain in this blindness, spiritual blindness?

277
00:11:16,570 --> 00:11:17,130
Until when?

278
00:11:17,510 --> 00:11:19,890
Look at the world and see how it's

279
00:11:19,890 --> 00:11:20,330
behaving.

280
00:11:20,990 --> 00:11:22,570
Absolute foolishness.

281
00:11:22,750 --> 00:11:24,150
Absolute evilness.

282
00:11:25,010 --> 00:11:25,750
To the core.

283
00:11:27,070 --> 00:11:27,670
To the core.

284
00:11:31,300 --> 00:11:32,840
They can't stand the truth.

285
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:35,640
They can't stand the light.

286
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:38,940
Yet the light is so clear and the

287
00:11:38,940 --> 00:11:40,340
truth is so powerful.

288
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,840
A world is sick and there is only

289
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,060
one healer that can heal this sick world.

290
00:11:54,460 --> 00:11:56,540
His name is Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

291
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:58,980
All glory to his holy and mighty name.

292
00:11:59,340 --> 00:12:00,760
The crown of our glory.
