1
00:00:00,500 --> 00:00:05,860
In buying and selling, Christians are distinguished in

2
00:00:05,860 --> 00:00:06,360
this.

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,700
Only Christians are different to the rest of

4
00:00:10,700 --> 00:00:13,200
the world when it comes to buying and

5
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:13,560
selling.

6
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:14,300
Why?

7
00:00:15,420 --> 00:00:19,220
The Lord Jesus purchased us with his precious

8
00:00:19,220 --> 00:00:20,020
blood.

9
00:00:22,260 --> 00:00:26,120
He gave himself to the whole world but

10
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:29,000
purchased those who accepted him.

11
00:00:31,049 --> 00:00:34,430
John 3 16 and so for so God

12
00:00:34,430 --> 00:00:37,810
for God so loved the whole world that

13
00:00:37,810 --> 00:00:41,090
he gave his only begotten son that whoever

14
00:00:41,090 --> 00:00:44,730
believes in him should not perish but have

15
00:00:44,730 --> 00:00:46,510
everlasting life.

16
00:00:47,090 --> 00:00:50,170
So God the father gave his only begotten

17
00:00:50,170 --> 00:00:52,710
son to the whole world for the whole

18
00:00:52,710 --> 00:00:56,450
world but who was purchased by the blood

19
00:00:56,450 --> 00:00:59,770
the one who accepted Jesus Christ.

20
00:01:00,710 --> 00:01:05,590
Not the whole world has been purchased but

21
00:01:05,590 --> 00:01:09,410
Jesus gave his life up for the whole

22
00:01:09,410 --> 00:01:12,930
world but he purchased those who accepted him.

23
00:01:13,490 --> 00:01:15,670
So when it comes to buying and selling

24
00:01:15,670 --> 00:01:19,890
we were purchased bought by the blood of

25
00:01:19,890 --> 00:01:20,770
the Lamb of God.

26
00:01:21,210 --> 00:01:23,570
Who are the ones purchased by the blood

27
00:01:23,570 --> 00:01:24,570
of the Lamb of God?

28
00:01:24,750 --> 00:01:27,190
Christians only not the whole world.

29
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:36,040
Now inheritance third point in this one the

30
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,000
inheritance is not for all Christians.

31
00:01:41,180 --> 00:01:42,880
Now when it comes to buying and selling

32
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:46,900
it's for all Christians but inheritance is not

33
00:01:46,900 --> 00:01:48,120
for all Christians.

34
00:01:48,740 --> 00:01:50,420
What is inheritance then for?

35
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:54,160
It is for the Christians who live the

36
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:55,100
second birth.

37
00:01:55,780 --> 00:01:58,440
In other words it is for the Christians

38
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,600
who are born of God.

39
00:02:02,220 --> 00:02:03,800
They are the inheritors.

40
00:02:06,530 --> 00:02:11,070
Christians are all baptized but do they live

41
00:02:11,070 --> 00:02:14,070
their Christ all the baptized souls?

42
00:02:14,230 --> 00:02:14,430
No.

43
00:02:14,770 --> 00:02:16,330
So many Christians are lost.

44
00:02:17,030 --> 00:02:19,670
So many Christians have no idea who Jesus

45
00:02:19,670 --> 00:02:20,290
Christ is.

46
00:02:20,430 --> 00:02:23,950
They are just Christian by name but absolutely

47
00:02:23,950 --> 00:02:26,010
not Christians by deed.

48
00:02:26,470 --> 00:02:28,890
So when it comes to inheritance for you

49
00:02:28,890 --> 00:02:33,050
to inherit your heavenly father you better live

50
00:02:33,050 --> 00:02:36,170
the second birth the sacrament of the holy

51
00:02:36,170 --> 00:02:39,930
baptism the ones who are born of God.

52
00:02:40,430 --> 00:02:42,990
Now the laying of the hand the fourth

53
00:02:42,990 --> 00:02:48,750
one to claim ownership is for the servants

54
00:02:48,750 --> 00:02:56,570
the true genuine faithful Christians the servants.

55
00:03:00,540 --> 00:03:06,680
You can never serve Christ unless you truly

56
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,100
love him and believe in him.

57
00:03:10,180 --> 00:03:14,020
You can never serve Christ unless you truly

58
00:03:14,020 --> 00:03:17,680
love him and believe in him because serving

59
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,340
Christ is not an easy path.

60
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,820
It's a very narrow door.

61
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:26,620
It's a very narrow path.

62
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:27,300
It's not easy.

63
00:03:28,180 --> 00:03:30,020
So who are the ones that are going

64
00:03:30,020 --> 00:03:32,980
to last till the end and serve the

65
00:03:32,980 --> 00:03:37,520
Lord faithfully are the ones who truly genuinely

66
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:41,760
love him and live for him not for

67
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:42,220
themselves.

68
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,300
Now let us come back to verse 18.

69
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:46,380
Can we have verse 8?

70
00:03:46,580 --> 00:03:47,260
It's already there.

71
00:03:48,260 --> 00:03:51,100
The spirit of the Lord is upon me.

72
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,240
Here the Lord Jesus wants to show us

73
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:59,260
the sixfold of the Holy Spirit painted so

74
00:03:59,260 --> 00:04:02,240
elegantly by Saint Luke.

75
00:04:04,450 --> 00:04:09,450
In verse 18 we will find and verse

76
00:04:09,450 --> 00:04:13,130
19 we will find six things the Holy

77
00:04:13,130 --> 00:04:14,850
Spirit does.

78
00:04:15,470 --> 00:04:19,690
Six things the Holy Spirit does but it's

79
00:04:19,690 --> 00:04:24,990
painted stunningly by the great painter Saint Luke

80
00:04:24,990 --> 00:04:26,250
the gospel right.

81
00:04:28,270 --> 00:04:30,350
The spirit of the Lord is upon me

82
00:04:30,350 --> 00:04:34,050
because he has anointed me to number one

83
00:04:34,930 --> 00:04:36,630
preach the gospel to the poor.

84
00:04:36,890 --> 00:04:40,050
Number two he has sent me to heal

85
00:04:40,050 --> 00:04:41,050
the broken-hearted.

86
00:04:41,350 --> 00:04:44,830
Number three to proclaim liberty to the captives.

87
00:04:45,030 --> 00:04:48,230
Number four and recovery of sight to the

88
00:04:48,230 --> 00:04:48,650
blind.

89
00:04:48,890 --> 00:04:52,950
Number five to set at liberty those who

90
00:04:52,950 --> 00:04:57,350
are oppressed and number six to proclaim the

91
00:04:57,350 --> 00:05:00,330
acceptable ear of the Lord which is in

92
00:05:00,330 --> 00:05:01,390
verse 19.

93
00:05:03,820 --> 00:05:05,220
Which is in verse 19.

94
00:05:05,860 --> 00:05:11,400
Six things the Lord Jesus spoke of in

95
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:12,220
chapter 4.

96
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,360
Six things the Lord Jesus spoke of in

97
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:19,060
chapter 4 and the Lord Jesus fulfilled all

98
00:05:19,060 --> 00:05:21,500
six things in chapter 5.

99
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:27,220
All these things he fulfilled them in chapter

100
00:05:27,220 --> 00:05:27,600
5.

101
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,140
I don't know if you recall last week

102
00:05:30,140 --> 00:05:33,740
we said that the gospel of according to

103
00:05:33,740 --> 00:05:39,560
Saint Luke consists of 24 chapters 13 paintings.

104
00:05:39,940 --> 00:05:43,260
The first chapter one painting the last chapter

105
00:05:43,260 --> 00:05:45,940
24 is one painting we are left with

106
00:05:45,940 --> 00:05:47,160
22 chapters.

107
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:51,200
22 chapters every two chapters with one painting

108
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:56,820
that's 11 and to 13 paintings making up

109
00:05:56,820 --> 00:06:02,680
24 chapters and we said as a painter

110
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:06,620
the Saint Luke does not write in a

111
00:06:06,620 --> 00:06:08,720
historical order.

112
00:06:09,780 --> 00:06:14,240
He brings things happened yesterday and brings things

113
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,760
happen two years ago, five months ago, a

114
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,320
year ago and puts them together as a

115
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:25,000
brilliant painter and brings out a stunning painting

116
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,300
called the Holy Spirit painting.

117
00:06:28,900 --> 00:06:32,540
So chapter 4 and 5 is number three

118
00:06:32,540 --> 00:06:35,780
painting in the gospel of Saint Luke.

119
00:06:36,140 --> 00:06:40,180
So what the Lord spoke of in chapter

120
00:06:40,180 --> 00:06:43,240
4 about the six things the Holy Spirit

121
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:43,900
does.

122
00:06:44,420 --> 00:06:48,400
Jesus himself as the perfect man fulfilled them

123
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,060
all in chapter 5.

124
00:06:50,660 --> 00:06:54,920
So now let's come to the first one

125
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:56,340
to preach.

126
00:06:56,540 --> 00:06:58,500
Can we go back to verse 18 please?

127
00:07:00,420 --> 00:07:02,600
To preach the gospel to the poor.

128
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,900
What does this mean to preach the gospel

129
00:07:06,900 --> 00:07:07,540
to the poor?

130
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:09,820
Who's preaching the gospel to the poor?

131
00:07:10,060 --> 00:07:11,720
Well the Lord Jesus is the preacher.

132
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,960
He came down to Galilee in the power

133
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,160
of the spirit and the power of the

134
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:18,420
spirit is to do with preaching.

135
00:07:19,100 --> 00:07:22,400
That's why the Lord's ministry it was preaching

136
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:22,880
everywhere.

137
00:07:23,180 --> 00:07:25,420
So to preach the gospel to the poor

138
00:07:25,420 --> 00:07:29,340
to understand who are the poor you'll find

139
00:07:29,340 --> 00:07:31,840
this in Matthew 5 verse 3.

140
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,100
Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs

141
00:07:35,100 --> 00:07:36,980
is the kingdom of heaven.

142
00:07:37,420 --> 00:07:39,780
Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs

143
00:07:39,780 --> 00:07:41,680
is the kingdom of heaven.

144
00:07:42,180 --> 00:07:44,240
Now to know who is the poor in

145
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,360
spirit you need to come and see who

146
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,240
is the poor in the flesh.

147
00:07:49,380 --> 00:07:54,600
To be poor physically two things will qualify

148
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:59,320
you to be a genuine street beggar.

149
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,400
To be a genuine street beggar two things

150
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:03,940
must be found in you.

151
00:08:04,300 --> 00:08:08,200
Number one that you are fully paralyzed unable

152
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,120
to work unable to do anything.

153
00:08:11,260 --> 00:08:15,060
You cannot rely on yourself at all.

154
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:20,500
Number two you have inherited absolutely nothing from

155
00:08:20,500 --> 00:08:23,860
your parents because if I was fully paralyzed

156
00:08:23,860 --> 00:08:26,520
and and mom and dad left me money

157
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,920
and properties and possessions I can live off

158
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,640
of that but if my parents left me

159
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:36,320
with nothing and I physically I'm unable to

160
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:40,039
work then I qualify to be a street

161
00:08:40,039 --> 00:08:40,460
beggar.

162
00:08:40,740 --> 00:08:43,620
I rely on you if you don't help

163
00:08:43,620 --> 00:08:45,860
me I'll eventually die.

164
00:08:49,290 --> 00:08:51,270
The Lord Jesus came to preach the gospel

165
00:08:51,270 --> 00:08:55,170
to the poor so the poor are the

166
00:08:55,170 --> 00:09:00,950
ones who claim and acknowledge they have no

167
00:09:00,950 --> 00:09:04,330
inheritance from their parents and they are physically

168
00:09:04,330 --> 00:09:06,510
unable to work.

169
00:09:06,770 --> 00:09:11,110
All of us we were born from our

170
00:09:11,110 --> 00:09:14,470
parents Adam and Eve in sin.

171
00:09:15,610 --> 00:09:21,170
Sin made us all bankrupt and sin made

172
00:09:21,170 --> 00:09:25,770
us all paralyzed unable to work spiritually.

173
00:09:26,790 --> 00:09:28,750
Now we are poor.

174
00:09:29,610 --> 00:09:33,790
The Lord says blessed are you if you

175
00:09:33,790 --> 00:09:36,850
say I am bankrupt Lord and I am

176
00:09:36,850 --> 00:09:37,590
good for nothing.

177
00:09:38,350 --> 00:09:40,890
I came for people like you.

178
00:09:46,330 --> 00:09:51,530
Now the Lord Jesus entered the realm of

179
00:09:51,530 --> 00:09:56,470
materialism to lead us out into the realm

180
00:09:56,470 --> 00:09:58,710
of spiritualism.

181
00:09:59,610 --> 00:10:03,230
The Lord Jesus entered the realm of materialism

182
00:10:03,230 --> 00:10:05,690
which is our realm to lead us out

183
00:10:05,690 --> 00:10:09,610
into the realm of spiritualism.

184
00:10:10,210 --> 00:10:15,610
In Luke 5 you see every single point

185
00:10:15,610 --> 00:10:19,190
of this in Luke 4 18 you will

186
00:10:19,190 --> 00:10:22,390
find the answer to it being fulfilled in

187
00:10:22,390 --> 00:10:23,510
Luke chapter 5.

188
00:10:23,850 --> 00:10:26,730
The Lord fulfills them so four and five

189
00:10:26,730 --> 00:10:29,490
go hand in hand and four the Lord

190
00:10:29,490 --> 00:10:32,830
says what he's doing and five the Lord

191
00:10:32,830 --> 00:10:35,450
did what he said in Luke 4.

192
00:10:36,650 --> 00:10:37,770
Are you with me?

193
00:10:38,590 --> 00:10:40,110
You're too quiet it's scaring me.

194
00:10:42,110 --> 00:10:45,210
All right so in Luke 5 verses 1

195
00:10:45,210 --> 00:10:47,310
to 10 it talks about the first point.

196
00:10:48,310 --> 00:10:50,170
The first point to preach the gospel to

197
00:10:50,170 --> 00:10:53,310
the poor the Lord fulfilled this point in

198
00:10:53,310 --> 00:10:55,530
Luke 5 verses 1 to 10.

199
00:10:56,030 --> 00:10:56,370
How?

200
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,780
When you read in Luke 5 from verse

201
00:11:01,780 --> 00:11:03,460
1 to 10 you'll find this.

202
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:08,140
The Lord Jesus comes to the sea of

203
00:11:08,140 --> 00:11:11,500
Galilee and he sees two boats one belonging

204
00:11:11,500 --> 00:11:14,240
to Simon Peter the other one belonging to

205
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,920
James and John the sons of Zebedee.

206
00:11:17,580 --> 00:11:20,380
The Lord decides to enter the boat of

207
00:11:20,380 --> 00:11:23,620
Simon Peter and then he says to Simon

208
00:11:23,620 --> 00:11:27,020
Peter can you just put your boat a

209
00:11:27,020 --> 00:11:29,660
little bit into the water there I want

210
00:11:29,660 --> 00:11:32,680
to preach to the multitude standing on the

211
00:11:32,680 --> 00:11:37,340
shores because people used to gather wherever Jesus

212
00:11:37,340 --> 00:11:37,920
went.

213
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:40,560
So when the Lord Jesus saw the multitude

214
00:11:40,560 --> 00:11:43,200
he came into the boat of Saint Peter

215
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,300
and he said just go a little bit

216
00:11:45,300 --> 00:11:48,080
into the water Saint Peter said why he

217
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,260
said I want to preach to the people.

218
00:11:52,700 --> 00:11:55,100
So Saint Peter sat in the boat while

219
00:11:55,100 --> 00:11:58,660
Jesus is standing and preaching and the power

220
00:11:58,660 --> 00:11:59,820
of the Spirit.

221
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,180
He started preaching to them once he finished

222
00:12:03,180 --> 00:12:06,240
preaching to the people he says to Simon

223
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,820
Peter now take the boat into the deep

224
00:12:09,820 --> 00:12:13,400
and cast your net to catch fish.

225
00:12:16,830 --> 00:12:20,690
Simon Peter looks at the Lord Jesus he

226
00:12:20,690 --> 00:12:25,190
says with all love and respect you're a

227
00:12:25,190 --> 00:12:30,710
carpenter I Peter am the fisherman you know

228
00:12:30,710 --> 00:12:34,070
I'm the expert in here sorry what you're

229
00:12:34,070 --> 00:12:38,910
saying logically makes no sense Jesus of Nazareth

230
00:12:38,910 --> 00:12:43,330
why because all night long we were trying

231
00:12:43,330 --> 00:12:46,290
to catch fish we did not catch not

232
00:12:46,290 --> 00:12:50,190
even Nemo the little tiny fish we caught

233
00:12:50,190 --> 00:12:53,030
absolutely nothing Jesus all night long.

234
00:12:53,790 --> 00:12:57,850
Now you're saying during the day now it's

235
00:12:57,850 --> 00:12:59,950
no longer night time it's during the day

236
00:12:59,950 --> 00:13:02,470
now you're saying go to the deep and

237
00:13:02,470 --> 00:13:05,270
cast your net to catch fish we know

238
00:13:05,270 --> 00:13:10,370
as fishermen during the day fish hide away

239
00:13:10,370 --> 00:13:13,130
we can't find them that's why we go

240
00:13:13,130 --> 00:13:17,610
at night time to catch them but since

241
00:13:17,610 --> 00:13:21,710
you entered my boat I'll take you as

242
00:13:21,710 --> 00:13:24,150
a guest and it is kind of a

243
00:13:24,150 --> 00:13:28,190
rude from me I Simon to really disrespect

244
00:13:28,190 --> 00:13:32,450
my guest since you're my guest that's okay

245
00:13:32,450 --> 00:13:36,790
I'll do what you say yet I don't

246
00:13:36,790 --> 00:13:39,650
believe in what you say so he cast

247
00:13:39,650 --> 00:13:44,090
the net and then before he realizes the

248
00:13:44,090 --> 00:13:51,230
net is full of immense fish big ones

249
00:13:51,230 --> 00:13:54,190
and the Bible holy Bible says the net

250
00:13:54,190 --> 00:13:57,410
was close to be torn apart from the

251
00:13:57,410 --> 00:14:09,650
weight of the fish the net caught you

252
00:14:09,650 --> 00:14:14,230
know why the Lord Jesus did that the

253
00:14:14,230 --> 00:14:21,270
Lord Jesus is fair in every way even

254
00:14:21,270 --> 00:14:24,490
when it comes to materialistic things the Lord

255
00:14:24,490 --> 00:14:28,150
says to Simon Peter I used your boat

256
00:14:28,150 --> 00:14:32,110
and I used your time don't ever think

257
00:14:32,110 --> 00:14:35,810
I'm not gonna pay you for it so

258
00:14:37,630 --> 00:14:39,290
since I used your boat and I used

259
00:14:39,290 --> 00:14:43,270
your time I caught you plenty of fish

260
00:14:43,270 --> 00:14:46,730
that's the payment I don't do it for

261
00:14:46,730 --> 00:14:52,250
free when Simon Peter saw all the fish

262
00:14:52,250 --> 00:14:57,330
Simon said Lord please get out of my

263
00:14:57,330 --> 00:15:02,250
boat I'm a sinner like this is too

264
00:15:02,250 --> 00:15:08,070
much Lord we as professional fishermen all night

265
00:15:08,070 --> 00:15:10,350
long we were not able to catch one

266
00:15:10,350 --> 00:15:13,590
fish you as a carpenter know nothing about

267
00:15:13,590 --> 00:15:18,690
fishing you brought us endless blessings but these

268
00:15:18,690 --> 00:15:24,110
blessings are what material the Lord Jesus entered

269
00:15:24,110 --> 00:15:28,630
into our life we're using material things to

270
00:15:28,630 --> 00:15:33,590
lead us out of materialism into spiritual things

271
00:15:33,590 --> 00:15:38,370
so Lord you brought us plenty of blessings

272
00:15:38,990 --> 00:15:42,050
but this blessing is what material fish is

273
00:15:42,050 --> 00:15:47,410
material the Lord Jesus said Simon I did

274
00:15:47,410 --> 00:15:52,230
not bring you material things but I brought

275
00:15:52,230 --> 00:15:56,330
you material things in order through them I

276
00:15:56,330 --> 00:16:02,870
get you spiritual things therefore Simon I'll say

277
00:16:02,870 --> 00:16:05,430

282
00:16:23,100 --> 00:16:26,760
