| 0:28 | the holy gospel according to saint mark |
| 0:30 | the 11th |
| 0:31 | chapter glory to you o lord |
| 0:35 | now when they drew near to jerusalem to |
| 0:37 | bethphage in bethany |
| 0:38 | at the mount of olives Jesus sent two of |
| 0:40 | his disciples and said to them go into |
| 0:42 | the village in front of you |
| 0:43 | and immediately as you enter it you will |
| 0:45 | see you will find a cult tied on which |
| 0:47 | no one has ever sat |
| 0:48 | untie it and bring it if anyone says to |
| 0:51 | you why are you doing this |
| 0:52 | say the lord has need of it and will |
| 0:54 | send it back here immediately |
| 0:56 | and they went away and found a colt tied |
| 0:59 | at a door |
| 0:59 | outside in the street and they untied it |
| 1:02 | and some of those standing there said to |
| 1:03 | them what are you doing untying the cold |
| 1:06 | and they told them what Jesus had said |
| 1:09 | and they let him go and they brought the |
| 1:11 | colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks on |
| 1:13 | it |
| 1:14 | and he sat on it and many spread their |
| 1:16 | cloaks on the road and others |
| 1:18 | spread leafy branches that they had cut |
| 1:20 | from the fields |
| 1:21 | and those who went before and those who |
| 1:23 | followed were shouting hosanna |
| 1:24 | blessed is he who comes in the name of |
| 1:26 | the lord blessed is the coming kingdom |
| 1:28 | of our father david |
| 1:30 | hosanna in the highest this is the |
| 1:33 | gospel of the lord in the name of Jesus |
| 1:37 | all right a little bit of background |
| 1:38 | history weather is a big |
| 1:40 | deal but i grew up in southern |
| 1:42 | california raised my kids in southern |
| 1:44 | california and southern californians |
| 1:46 | don’t really get much weather |
| 1:47 | the best way i can put it is that when |
| 1:49 | it dips down into the 50s |
| 1:51 | out come the parkas i’m not making this |
| 1:53 | up i know it sounds crazy to y’all |
| 1:55 | and and we would get the occasional |
| 1:57 | thunderstorm |
| 1:58 | but the one thing i never experienced |
| 2:01 | until i moved to the midwest moved my |
| 2:03 | family to indiana |
| 2:05 | was a good rip roaring midwest supercell |
| 2:08 | thunderstorm you know what i’m talking |
| 2:10 | about right the ones that roll in |
| 2:12 | on those hot afternoons and when you can |
| 2:14 | see them coming it’s like a freight |
| 2:16 | train |
| 2:17 | and it’s roiling and broiling and it’s |
| 2:20 | just tempestuous and these things |
| 2:22 | tower up in the sky you get these wall |
| 2:24 | clouds and then when they get overhead |
| 2:26 | they get that |
| 2:27 | sickening green color and you sit there |
| 2:30 | and go |
| 2:31 | oh my goodness the aliens are gonna land |
| 2:33 | the mother ship is hiding inside of |
| 2:35 | there right |
| 2:37 | think of it this way supercell |
| 2:39 | thunderstorms |
| 2:40 | are kind of the closest thing that i can |
| 2:43 | think of |
| 2:44 | visually of like what it would be like |
| 2:47 | if god |
| 2:48 | came in power and might and decided that |
| 2:50 | he was going to give us all what we |
| 2:52 | deserve |
| 2:54 | frightening right and one of the things |
| 2:56 | i absolutely |
| 2:57 | hate is when those things start rolling |
| 3:00 | in the winds come in and have you ever |
| 3:02 | noticed |
| 3:02 | that being a Christian doesn’t give you |
| 3:04 | an inside track with god as far as like |
| 3:06 | the destruction that happens because of |
| 3:08 | these things |
| 3:08 | i remember a few years back barb and i |
| 3:11 | were getting ready to go to church i |
| 3:13 | just finished putting the bulletins |
| 3:15 | together |
| 3:15 | it was a sunday morning and right after |
| 3:18 | i had taken my shower and was getting |
| 3:20 | dressed |
| 3:21 | a big supercell came rushing in in the |
| 3:24 | morning |
| 3:25 | and the winds were so out of control |
| 3:28 | i was looking outside it was raining not |
| 3:31 | cats and |
| 3:32 | dogs that those are too small it was |
| 3:34 | raining rats and sheep i mean and there |
| 3:36 | were horses and cows and |
| 3:38 | monkeys everything was falling out of |
| 3:40 | the sky and the winds were |
| 3:41 | so strong that one of my trees got |
| 3:45 | knocked down |
| 3:46 | into my neighbor’s yard and you’re |
| 3:49 | sitting here going really god |
| 3:50 | right before church |
| 3:53 | right but this is the picture we’re |
| 3:55 | going to take a look at isaiah’s prayer |
| 3:57 | here |
| 3:57 | in isaiah 64. and we’re going to note |
| 4:00 | something here |
| 4:01 | that this prayer is an interesting |
| 4:03 | prayer because it begins on one note |
| 4:06 | but ends on a completely different one |
| 4:09 | one that is more in accord with the |
| 4:10 | gospel itself |
| 4:12 | and so isaiah isaiah 64 in this prayer |
| 4:15 | that he |
| 4:15 | offers up to yahweh he says o that you |
| 4:18 | would rend the heavens and come down |
| 4:20 | that the mountains might quake at your |
| 4:22 | presence as when |
| 4:24 | fire kindles brushwood and fire causes |
| 4:27 | water to boil |
| 4:28 | to make your name known to your |
| 4:29 | adversaries that the nations might |
| 4:32 | tremble at your presence |
| 4:35 | a couple of thoughts about this i mean |
| 4:37 | that’s quite the picture here that’s |
| 4:38 | quite the thing you pray for |
| 4:39 | now be careful what you pray for i |
| 4:41 | remember years and years ago i had a |
| 4:43 | pastor who said |
| 4:44 | be sure that you don’t pray that god |
| 4:47 | come and destroy all the evildoers |
| 4:49 | because if he were to do that you would |
| 4:50 | get caught up in the melee |
| 4:54 | it’s not bad advice but you’ll note here |
| 4:56 | here he begins by praying |
| 4:58 | that god would come and shake and |
| 5:01 | tremble his adversaries |
| 5:02 | that they would tremble at his presence |
| 5:05 | and it’s a frightening thing when you |
| 5:06 | consider it because |
| 5:08 | this is the picture of god’s wrath that |
| 5:10 | we can kind of relate to |
| 5:12 | and deep down in your conscience in fact |
| 5:14 | maybe not even that deep at all just |
| 5:16 | scratch the surface a little bit |
| 5:18 | this is what you expect god to do when |
| 5:20 | you stand before him to make you shake |
| 5:22 | and to quake |
| 5:23 | kind of like the wizard of oz you know |
| 5:25 | there’s the wizard |
| 5:26 | i am the great and powerful and mighty |
| 5:30 | ah right that’s what we expect god to be |
| 5:34 | like |
| 5:35 | but then this prayer |
| 5:38 | takes an interesting turn in verse 3 |
| 5:42 | you begin to see a little bit of a |
| 5:45 | change and i’ll explain it here |
| 5:46 | it’s very subtle but the turn it |
| 5:49 | definitely takes place here in verse 3. |
| 5:52 | when you did awesome things that we did |
| 5:54 | not look for |
| 5:56 | you came down the mountains |
| 5:59 | quaked at your presence |
| 6:02 | what is he referring to here because |
| 6:04 | this is a different thing |
| 6:05 | altogether yes the mountains are quaking |
| 6:07 | at the presence of god |
| 6:09 | but here isaiah here is noting that god |
| 6:12 | is going to do awesome things that we |
| 6:13 | did not look for |
| 6:15 | consider our gospel text in this context |
| 6:18 | then |
| 6:19 | because you’ll note that here we again |
| 6:22 | start the year off with this palm sunday |
| 6:25 | text |
| 6:26 | of Jesus Christ the son of god in human |
| 6:29 | flesh |
| 6:30 | his presence is here on earth and you’ll |
| 6:33 | note that in his triumphal entry he’s |
| 6:35 | not riding a war horse |
| 6:37 | he’s not wearing military camo and |
| 6:39 | fatigues he does not have an ar-15 slung |
| 6:43 | on his back |
| 6:43 | he doesn’t have an army following him |
| 6:46 | with swords bayonets or machine |
| 6:48 | guns or anything like this the tanks |
| 6:51 | aren’t rolling in you would expect that |
| 6:53 | to be kind of the case |
| 6:54 | right i mean Jesus is going to come and |
| 6:57 | he’s going to conquer |
| 6:58 | he’s going to establish his kingdom and |
| 7:00 | the way you establish your kingdom |
| 7:02 | is by getting rid of evil |
| 7:05 | and that means getting rid of the evil |
| 7:07 | doer |
| 7:09 | but here’s the thing scripture |
| 7:12 | admonishes us in light of |
| 7:14 | the gospel to overcome |
| 7:17 | evil with good and so you’ll know |
| 7:21 | the thing we didn’t expect the thing we |
| 7:23 | didn’t see coming the thing that we |
| 7:25 | didn’t understand would happen |
| 7:27 | is that god rather than rolling in with |
| 7:31 | the angel armies and subduing and |
| 7:34 | getting rid of all the evil in the world |
| 7:37 | instead Jesus rolls in |
| 7:38 | quietly confidently |
| 7:42 | receiving praise in hosannas |
| 7:45 | riding a cult the full of a donkey and |
| 7:47 | make no mistake about it he |
| 7:49 | is going into the devil’s lair at this |
| 7:52 | point |
| 7:53 | and nothing is keeping him back and in |
| 7:56 | less |
| 7:56 | than a week he will be nailed to a cross |
| 8:01 | and there he will bleed languish and die |
| 8:05 | but remember when Christ cried out from |
| 8:07 | the cross |
| 8:08 | it is finished what happened there was a |
| 8:11 | great earthquake |
| 8:12 | the earth shook at his presence and i |
| 8:14 | think this is what isaiah is really |
| 8:16 | hinting at here in verse 3 |
| 8:18 | when you did awesome things that we did |
| 8:20 | not look for |
| 8:22 | we didn’t look for a king to come in |
| 8:24 | riding lowly |
| 8:26 | on a cult the full of a donkey instead |
| 8:29 | we look for something else when he did |
| 8:31 | awesome things that we did not look for |
| 8:32 | you came down |
| 8:33 | and the mountains quaked at your |
| 8:35 | presence indeed they did while Christ |
| 8:37 | bled for your sins on the cross |
| 8:39 | from of old no one has heard or |
| 8:40 | perceived by the ear |
| 8:42 | no eye has seen a god besides you and |
| 8:45 | listen to these comforting words |
| 8:47 | a god who acts for those who wait for |
| 8:50 | him |
| 8:52 | and that’s what we are all doing now |
| 8:54 | waiting |
| 8:55 | waiting for his second advent while we |
| 8:58 | remember his first |
| 9:00 | verse five you meet him who joyfully |
| 9:02 | works righteousness |
| 9:04 | those who remember you in your ways |
| 9:06 | behold you were angry |
| 9:08 | and we sinned and in our sins we have |
| 9:11 | been a long time |
| 9:14 | shall we be saved i can say this with |
| 9:17 | certainty i’ve been alive for 52 years |
| 9:20 | and all all 52 years i’ve been sinning |
| 9:24 | all 52. and you’re saying well pastor |
| 9:26 | rose bro didn’t you stop sinning when |
| 9:28 | you were installed here in 2014 |
| 9:30 | far from it and so it’s a great question |
| 9:34 | how old are you and some of you guys are |
| 9:36 | just like way too young i feel like you |
| 9:38 | know you haven’t suffered enough you |
| 9:39 | know |
| 9:41 | those of you who’ve been around for a |
| 9:42 | while you cannot you can say along with |
| 9:44 | me yeah i’ve |
| 9:45 | been sinning a long time and the |
| 9:47 | question is shall |
| 9:48 | we be saved we’ve gotten good at sinning |
| 9:52 | haven’t we |
| 9:53 | you know we make excuses for it we |
| 9:56 | we perfect our skill at it we think |
| 9:59 | about it in the morning we think about |
| 10:01 | it in the evening we think about it |
| 10:02 | throughout the day and the question is |
| 10:04 | shall we be saved |
| 10:06 | or shall we instead have god come and |
| 10:08 | have us quake at his presence |
| 10:10 | but the question is answered throughout |
| 10:12 | all the scriptures yeah we shall be |
| 10:14 | saved |
| 10:15 | not because of anything that we have |
| 10:17 | done but because of everything that |
| 10:19 | Christ |
| 10:19 | has done for us again salvation is a |
| 10:22 | gift and it is the glory of god to |
| 10:24 | forgive |
| 10:25 | our sins it is really truly his glory to |
| 10:29 | do so |
| 10:30 | and then if in this context then |
| 10:33 | one of the things that isaiah does and |
| 10:35 | i’m going to say this |
| 10:36 | up front he does this very graphically |
| 10:40 | in the hebrew |
| 10:41 | and i always scratch my head when i get |
| 10:44 | to an english translation |
| 10:46 | like this knowing what the hebrew is |
| 10:48 | behind it and saying |
| 10:49 | what were the english translators |
| 10:51 | thinking is are they somehow trying to |
| 10:54 | keep people from being scandalized |
| 10:57 | by how blunt god’s word is |
| 11:00 | but it is extremely graphic and blunt so |
| 11:03 | all i can say |
| 11:04 | in advance is since you’re all english |
| 11:05 | speakers |
| 11:07 | brace yourself i don’t think you’re |
| 11:09 | ready for this |
| 11:10 | but we’ll see isaiah then |
| 11:13 | takes away any pretenses of |
| 11:16 | self-righteousness |
| 11:18 | oftentimes we as human beings think that |
| 11:20 | we can bargain with god |
| 11:22 | well god if you help me out of this |
| 11:24 | scrape |
| 11:25 | this time god then i promise that i’m |
| 11:28 | gonna pray |
| 11:29 | two times a week and that i’m going to |
| 11:31 | give |
| 11:32 | at least five dollars in the kettle for |
| 11:35 | the salvation army this year when i walk |
| 11:37 | out of walmart |
| 11:39 | or maybe you say i’m gonna read my bible |
| 11:42 | mostly every day |
| 11:43 | in the year 2021 i promised god i’m |
| 11:46 | going to really do all of this |
| 11:48 | and when you say things like this you |
| 11:50 | somehow think that your good works |
| 11:52 | are a currency that they have certain |
| 11:55 | specific |
| 11:56 | value to god that you can exchange |
| 12:00 | them for things in favors from god |
| 12:03 | what a foolish thing to do what a |
| 12:05 | foolish |
| 12:06 | utterly foolish nonsensical thing to do |
| 12:09 | do you really think that your works |
| 12:12 | have that kind of value |
| 12:16 | let’s take a look at what isaiah says |
| 12:18 | verse 6 |
| 12:20 | we have all that includes isaiah |
| 12:22 | includes me and you we have all like one |
| 12:25 | become like one who is unclean all |
| 12:28 | our righteous deeds are like a polluted |
| 12:31 | garment |
| 12:34 | what a completely sanitary and safe |
| 12:37 | translation |
| 12:38 | let me give you what the hebrew says |
| 12:41 | here |
| 12:43 | all of our righteous deeds are like used |
| 12:47 | women’s feminine napkins maxi pads |
| 12:51 | used up ones that’s what our good works |
| 12:54 | are like |
| 12:56 | and i assure you no one’s paying for |
| 12:58 | those things |
| 13:00 | so you think you can save yourself by |
| 13:02 | your good deeds |
| 13:04 | and here’s the thing even as Christians |
| 13:06 | we still have our sinful nature |
| 13:08 | and our best good works on our holiest |
| 13:12 | day |
| 13:12 | are still tainted with sin and still |
| 13:16 | have |
| 13:16 | that blood on them do you think |
| 13:20 | that you can save yourself by your good |
| 13:22 | works |
| 13:24 | no i told you it was graphic |
| 13:28 | and indeed it is so don’t think for a |
| 13:30 | second that you can because you can’t |
| 13:33 | and then he goes on we all fade like a |
| 13:35 | leaf |
| 13:36 | our iniquities like the wind |
| 13:39 | take us away and that’s what our |
| 13:41 | iniquities do they take us away from god |
| 13:43 | they take us away from each other you’ll |
| 13:45 | note that the two great commands of |
| 13:48 | scripture are to love the lord your god |
| 13:49 | with all your heart soul mind and |
| 13:51 | strength |
| 13:51 | and love your neighbor as yourself but |
| 13:54 | when you are sinning |
| 13:55 | who are you thinking about you’re |
| 13:58 | thinking about old number one you’re |
| 13:59 | thinking about me |
| 14:01 | me myself and i the unholy trinity right |
| 14:05 | and that’s the thing your sin is slavery |
| 14:08 | it’s bondage to the devil bondage to |
| 14:10 | death bondage to yourself |
| 14:12 | and iniquities are not something that |
| 14:14 | are |
| 14:15 | kind they drag you away |
| 14:18 | always marvel at the person who says |
| 14:22 | so chris you think that the did you can |
| 14:24 | be totally saved by what Jesus has done |
| 14:26 | and not by your good works |
| 14:27 | well if the gospel is that free then |
| 14:30 | you’re saying i can go and sin all i |
| 14:31 | want |
| 14:32 | you you think sin is freedom |
| 14:37 | it’s not freedom at all our iniquities |
| 14:39 | take us away |
| 14:41 | and then he goes on there’s no one who |
| 14:44 | calls upon your name who rouses himself |
| 14:46 | to take hold of you |
| 14:47 | you have hidden your face from us you’ve |
| 14:50 | made us melt |
| 14:51 | in the hand of our iniquities sin is its |
| 14:54 | own punishment at times |
| 14:56 | and now here comes the great conjunction |
| 14:59 | conjunction junction what’s that |
| 15:02 | function right |
| 15:04 | but but |
| 15:07 | now oh lord you are our father |
| 15:10 | we are the clay you are our potter |
| 15:14 | and we are the work of your hand how is |
| 15:17 | this possible by the way |
| 15:18 | this is a description that the very |
| 15:20 | thing that the apostle paul is getting |
| 15:22 | at |
| 15:22 | in ephesians chapter two what does paul |
| 15:24 | say he says that we are saved by grace |
| 15:27 | through faith it is not our own doing |
| 15:30 | it is the gift of god so that no one may |
| 15:33 | boast |
| 15:34 | and then he goes on to say this for we |
| 15:36 | are god’s |
| 15:37 | workmanship created in Christ Jesus |
| 15:40 | for good works |
| 15:43 | and so even isaiah understands this |
| 15:46 | simple fact that when it comes to |
| 15:47 | self-righteousness you cannot bargain |
| 15:49 | with god with your good works |
| 15:50 | but because god now is our father |
| 15:54 | because we have received in Christ the |
| 15:56 | spirit of adoption and again the verb |
| 15:58 | there is received |
| 15:59 | we have received the spirit of adoption |
| 16:02 | now we can cry out to god as our father |
| 16:05 | knowing that we are created in Christ |
| 16:07 | Jesus for good works |
| 16:09 | and god is the one who then skillfully |
| 16:12 | like a master potter |
| 16:14 | forms us into what we are to be so that |
| 16:17 | we may do |
| 16:18 | the works that god has created us in |
| 16:20 | Christ Jesus to do |
| 16:22 | and all of this is by grace through |
| 16:24 | faith here again |
| 16:26 | portions of our epistle text where paul |
| 16:29 | says to the church in corinth |
| 16:30 | he says grace to you and peace from god |
| 16:33 | our father |
| 16:34 | and the lord Jesus Christ you’ve |
| 16:36 | probably read it a hundred times maybe a |
| 16:38 | thousand times in scripture you’ve heard |
| 16:39 | it |
| 16:40 | from this pulpit many times from the |
| 16:42 | epistle readings grace to you in peace |
| 16:44 | but that’s the thing that’s what we |
| 16:46 | receive from god |
| 16:47 | because of Christ we receive grace |
| 16:50 | we receive mercy and because of that we |
| 16:54 | now have |
| 16:54 | shalom we have peace with god |
| 16:58 | and we have peace with god our father |
| 17:00 | and the lord Jesus Christ |
| 17:02 | and paul goes on to then describe that |
| 17:04 | what we are doing as Christians is we |
| 17:06 | are waiting now |
| 17:08 | for the revealing of our lord Jesus |
| 17:10 | Christ but in the waiting then watch how |
| 17:13 | the verbs work |
| 17:14 | Christ will sustain you to the end |
| 17:17 | guiltless |
| 17:18 | in the day of our lord Jesus Christ see |
| 17:21 | god in his mercy has not only sent |
| 17:23 | Christ to bleed and die for you but he’s |
| 17:25 | also through the holy spirit |
| 17:27 | sustaining us as guiltless even though |
| 17:30 | we are |
| 17:30 | as guilt-ridden as they get but the |
| 17:33 | reason we are guiltless is because |
| 17:35 | Christ when he entered into jerusalem he |
| 17:38 | eventually that same week |
| 17:39 | went to the cross and died so that we |
| 17:42 | can be |
| 17:43 | come guiltless he became the guilty |
| 17:46 | sinner |
| 17:46 | and in him we are clothed in the |
| 17:48 | righteousness of Christ |
| 17:50 | and rather than being guilty sinners in |
| 17:53 | dire dire |
| 17:56 | risk of experiencing god’s judgment and |
| 17:58 | wrath |
| 17:59 | instead god sees us as guiltless |
| 18:02 | as forgiven pardoned reconciled so that |
| 18:05 | he then sustains us as guiltless until |
| 18:08 | Christ |
| 18:08 | returns in fact it says god is faithful |
| 18:11 | he is the one by whom you were called |
| 18:13 | into the fellowship of the son Jesus |
| 18:15 | Christ our lord |
| 18:16 | so then coming back to this great prayer |
| 18:18 | of judgment |
| 18:19 | of isaiah note where he goes |
| 18:22 | next verse 9 so be not so terribly angry |
| 18:27 | o lord and remember not iniquity forever |
| 18:31 | behold please look we |
| 18:34 | are all your people and it is only |
| 18:37 | somebody who trusts in Jesus who can |
| 18:39 | pray such a bold prayer |
| 18:41 | if you do not believe in Jesus then how |
| 18:44 | dare you call god your father you’re |
| 18:45 | still |
| 18:46 | under the works and the dominion of |
| 18:48 | darkness |
| 18:49 | but we who are in Christ know this then |
| 18:52 | we are now the children of god god is |
| 18:55 | truly |
| 18:56 | our father and we can boldly and humbly |
| 18:59 | pray |
| 18:59 | please god be not so terribly angry and |
| 19:02 | do not remember our iniquity forever in |
| 19:04 | fact god not only doesn’t remember our |
| 19:06 | iniquity |
| 19:07 | forever he doesn’t remember it now all |
| 19:10 | who are in Christ |
| 19:11 | scripture says god has taken your sin |
| 19:14 | and he has cast it as far away as the |
| 19:16 | east is from the west |
| 19:18 | i don’t know how far that is but it |
| 19:20 | sounds like it’s really far |
| 19:22 | like really really really far and so |
| 19:25 | note then we can trust |
| 19:28 | this god that he does not remember our |
| 19:31 | iniquity |
| 19:32 | and we can say to him we are truly your |
| 19:35 | people why |
| 19:36 | because you’ve made us your people so as |
| 19:40 | we begin this penitential season |
| 19:42 | the season of advent the season where we |
| 19:45 | remember |
| 19:46 | Christ has come in human flesh to bleed |
| 19:49 | and to die for our sins to reconcile |
| 19:52 | us to god so that we can be adopted as a |
| 19:54 | son set free from the dominion of |
| 19:56 | darkness |
| 19:57 | and have in receive eternal life as a |
| 20:00 | gift |
| 20:01 | let us again consider the prayer that we |
| 20:03 | prayed earlier today let me read it |
| 20:05 | again |
| 20:06 | stir up your power o lord and come |
| 20:10 | so that by your protection we may be |
| 20:12 | rescued from the threatening perils of |
| 20:15 | our |
| 20:15 | sins and that’s the point our sins |
| 20:18 | really do put us in deep peril |
| 20:21 | so please god rescue us from the |
| 20:23 | threatening perils of our sins |
| 20:25 | and saved by your mighty hand of |
| 20:28 | deliverance |
| 20:29 | for you live and reign with the father |
| 20:30 | and the holy spirit one god now and |
| 20:32 | forever |
| 20:33 | in the name of Jesus amen |
