And so with that background, now go to one place in the New Testament, Matthew chapter 19. Matthew chapter 19. You see the picture here? And just as a side note, we were obviously talking about singleness here, but hear this. Women, married women in this room who struggle to have children. be encouraged. Sing. That there is a monument and a name that is better than sons and daughters. That there is a picture of reproduction in your life that far supersedes even that which could happen physically, that which is spiritual, that lasts forever and ever and ever. Be encouraged with that. Now, that leads, so we just read, okay, eunuchs, a monument in a name better than sons and daughters. You get to Matthew chapter 19, verse 10, and the disciples and Jesus are talking about divorce and marriage. And the disciples said to Jesus in verse 10, if such is the case of a man with his wife, it is better not to marry. Jesus said to them, not everyone can receive this thing, but only those to whom it is given. …
Maintain justice. Do the right thing. To the foreigner, to the eunuch, I want you to know, you and the family. May the Lord add a blessing to the reading and hearing of God's holy word. You may be seated in the presence of the Most High God. I would like to place a tag here on this text, for it constitutes the context of which we attempt to teach at this moment. And we continue with our Sabbath series, and we want to focus on this idea of all in the family. All in the family. I want to share with you, before we begin, there are two versions of this message. One version you will hear today is another version that you will hear next week at 11 o'clock and 6 p.m. that will be designed as a sermonic film to place imagery with the scripture and imagery with the words that are preached on this day to speak clearly about what this prophet poet by the name of Isaiah is saying. So this is, I guess you could say 1.0, and next week is 2.0 of the version of this message, all in the family. If you would be so kind, for those of you who are present, and those of you who are online, if you would just turn to your neighbor with your mask on, with your mask on, and look at your neighbor. Don't look at me. I'm in a different neighborhood. …
5. God appears in his word laving abundantly more weight on this precept concerning the sabbath, than on any precept of the ceremonial law. It is in the decalogue, one of the ten commands, which were delivered by God with an audible voice. It was written with his own finger on the tables of stone in the mount, and was appointed afterwards to be written on the tables which Moses made. The keeping of the weekly sabbath is spoken of by the prophets, as that wherein consists a great part or holiness of life; and is inserted among moral duties, Isa. lviii. 13, 14. “If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the Lord, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words: then shalt thou delight thyself in the Lord; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.” 6. It is foretold, that this command should be observed in gospel-times; as in at the beginning, where the due observance of the sabbath is spoken of as a great part of holiness of life, and is placed among moral duties. It is also mentioned as a duty that should be most acceptable to God from his people, even where the prophet is speaking of gospel-times; as in the foregoing chapter, and in the first verse of this chapter. And, in the third and fourth verses, the prophet is speaking of the abolition of the ceremonial law in gospel-times, and particularly of that law, which forbids eunuchs to come into the congregation of the Lord. Yet, here the man is pronounced blessed, who keeps the sabbath from polluting it, ver. 2. And even in the very sentence where the eunuchs are spoken of as being free from the ceremonial law, they are spoken of as being yet under obligation to keep the sabbath, and actually keeping it, as that which God lays great weight upon: “For thus saith the Lord, unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant; Even unto them will I give in mine house, and within my walls, a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off .” …
