The Secret to True Fulfillment According to the Bible | Adrian Rogers | Love Worth Finding

0:30 BUT FRIEND, IT IS SAD INDEED IF YOU DON'T KNOW JESUS CHRIST, WHO IS THE ROCK OF AGES. DO YOU WANT TO UNDERSTAND THE BIBLE? WOULD YOU LIKE FOR THE BIBLE TO BURST A FLAME IN YOUR HAND? WOULD YOU LIKE FOR THE TRUTH OF GOD'S WORD TO LEAP OFF THE PAGES INTO YOUR HEART? WOULD YOU LIKE TO FIND A KEY THAT WOULD HELP YOU TO UNLOCK ALL OF THE REST OF THE BIBLE? WELL, THE KEY IS A PERSON, AND HIS NAME IS JESUS CHRIST. NOW, WE'VE BEEN IN THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT, AND WOULD YOU OPEN TO MATTHEW CHAPTER FIVE AND BE FINDING VERSES SEVENTEEN AND EIGHTEN. THE THEME FOR OUR ENTIRE STUDY IS BUILDING ON THE ROCK, FOR JESUS SAID, WHEN ANYBODY HEARS THESE WORDS OF MINE, AND HE DOES THEM, HE'S LIKE A WISE MAN WHO BUILDS HIS HOUSE UPON A ROCK. THE WINDS AND THE FLOODS AND THE RAIN MAY COME, BUT THAT HOUSE WILL STAND, FOR IT IS BUILT UPON A ROCK." TODAY I WANT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT FULFILLMENT. HOW MANY TRULY FULFILLED PEOPLE DO YOU KNOW? HOW MANY PEOPLE DO YOU KNOW WHO ARE SATISFIED, FILLED WITH JOY AND PEACE, ASSURANCE, SPIRITUAL AND PEACE, ASSURANCE, SPIRITUAL SATISFACTION. HOW MANY?

1:52 WELL, I WANT TO TALK TO YOU TODAY ABOUT THE SECRET OF FULFILLMENT. AND WE'RE READING HERE IN VERSES CHAPTER FIVE, NOW CHAPTER FIVE, VERSES 17 AND 18. JESUS CHRIST SAID, THINK NOT THAT I AM COME TO DESTROY THE LAW OR THE PROPHETS. I AM NOT COME TO DESTROY, BUT TO FULFILL. FOR VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU, TILL HEAVEN AND EARTH PASS, ONE JOT OR ONE TITTLE SHALL IN

2:28 NOWISE PASS FROM THE LAW TILL ALL BE FULFILLED." MY HEART HAS BEEN BLESSED AS I HAVE MEDITATED ON THESE SCRIPTURES. IT SPEAK, IT SPEAK, THEY SPEAK OF THE LORD JESUS, THE GREAT FULFILLER. AND WHOEVER YOU ARE TODAY, IF YOU DON'T KNOW THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, YOU ARE BEHIND IN YOUR EDUCATION. NO ONE IS TRULY EDUCATED WHO IS IGNORANT OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. YOU MAY KNOW BIOLOGY AND THE STUDY OF LIFE, BUT HOW SAD, IF YOU DON'T KNOW JESUS, THE GIVER OF LIFE, you may know astronomy and how the heavens go, but how sad if you don't know Jesus and how to go to heaven. You may know botany, the study of flowers, but how sad if you don't know Jesus, who is Sharon's sweetest rose and the lily of the valley.

3:29 You may know geology and the ages of the rocks, but friend it is sad indeed if you don't know Jesus Christ who is the rock of ages you may know history and all of the record of mankind but how sad if you don't know Jesus Christ in whom we live and move and have our being it is said of history that history is his story so all of the Bible points us to the Lord Jesus Christ And I want you to look at these two verses today that have been such a blessing to my heart. The Bible tells us that Jesus is the great fulfiller. Jesus prophetically fulfills the Word of God. Look again, if you will, in, uh, in this verse, verse 17, Think not that I am come to destroy the law or the prophets.

4:27 I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill. NOW JESUS IS THE FULFILLMENT OF ALL THAT THE PROPHETS WROTE ABOUT. DO YOU WANT TO UNDERSTAND THE BIBLE? WOULD YOU LIKE FOR THE BIBLE TO BURST A FLAME IN YOUR HAND? WOULD YOU LIKE FOR THE TRUTH OF GOD'S WORD TO LEAP OFF THE PAGES INTO YOUR HEART? WOULD YOU LIKE TO FIND A KEY THAT WOULD HELP YOU TO UNLOCK ALL OF THE REST OF THE BIBLE? WELL, THE KEY IS A PERSON, AND HIS NAME IS JESUS CHRIST. HE IS THE ONE WHO FULFILLS THE PROPHETS. NOW PUT THESE VERSES IN YOUR MARGIN. THEY'RE GREAT AND WONDERFUL VERSES. THE FIRST IS A VERSE THAT COMES OUT OF LUKE CHAPTER 24. JESUS CHRIST HAS BEEN RAISED, UH, FROM THE DEAD. AND, UH, AFTER HIS RESURRECTION HE'S ON THE ROAD TO EMMAUS. AND THE TWO WEARY FORLORN DISCIPLES WHO ARE WALKING ALONG THAT ROAD AND, AND JESUS JOINS THEM. HE CATCHES UP WITH THEM AND HE, HE GETS INTO A DISCUSSION WITH THEM. THEY DON'T KNOW WHO HE IS. THEY DON'T RECOGNIZE HIM IN HIS RESURRECTED FORM, AND SO THEY'RE WALKING ALONG. IT'S ABOUT A SEVEN MILE JOURNEY, AND JESUS BEGINS TO TALK WITH THEM ABOUT THE WORD OF GOD. I, I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE HAD A TAPE RECORDING OF THAT CONVERSATION AT SEVEN MILE BIBLE CONFERENCE. AND THE BIBLE SAYS IN LUKE CHAPTER 24 AND VERSE 27, HERE'S THE VERSE, AND BEGINNING AT MOSES AND ALL THE THE PROPHETS. NOW THAT'S WHAT WE CALL RIGHT HERE IN THIS VERSE, THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. MOSES AND ALL THE PROPHETS. THAT JUST MEANS ALL THE OLD TESTAMENT. BEGINNING AT MOSES AND ALL THE PROPHETS.

6:01 THAT IS, HE STEPPED INTO THE BIBLE AT GENESIS 1-1 AND HE BEGAN TO TALK. BEGINNING AT MOSES AND ALL THE PROPHETS, HE EXPOUNDED UNTO THEM IN ALL THE SCRIPTURES THE THINGS CONCERNING HIMSELF. WOULDN'T YOU HAVE LOVED TO HAVE HEARD THAT? WOULDN'T YOU HAVE LOVED TO HAVE HEARD THE SON OF GOD JUST OPEN THE BIBLE, WALKING ALONG FOR SEVEN MILES, TALKING TO THEM AND EXPOUNDING TO THEM IN ALL THE SCRIPTURES, THE THINGS CONCERNING HIMSELF. CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN LIKE TO HEAR THE SON OF GOD? I ONLY SAY THAT TO SAY THIS, THAT FRIEND, IF YOU READ THE BIBLE AND YOU DON'T SEE JESUS, YOU BETTER GO BACK AND RE-READ THE BIBLE. STANDING SOMEWHERE IN THE SHADOWS, YOU'LL FIND JESUS. AND THEN THE Paul said in Acts chapter 10, verse 43, to him, to Jesus, give all the prophets witness. All of the prophets spoke about the Lord Jesus Christ. Prophecy centers in the Lord Jesus Christ.

7:01 Prophecy is not primarily about something. Prophecy is about someone. The Bible says that, THAT THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS IS THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY. AND THE LORD JESUS CHRIST CHALLENGED THE CROWD THERE IN JOHN CHAPTER 5. HE SAYS, SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES, FOR IN THEM YOU THINK THAT YOU HAVE ETERNAL LIFE. JESUS SAID, THESE ARE THEY WHICH TESTIFY OF ME. AND I WANT TO REMIND YOU THAT WHEN JESUS SAID THIS, HE WAS NOT TALKING ABOUT THE NEW TESTAMENT. IT HAD NOT YET BEEN WRITTEN. HE WAS TALKING ABOUT THE OLD TESTAMENT. DON'T GET THE IDEA THAT THE OLD TESTAMENT IS ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE IN THE NEW TESTAMENT IS ABOUT JESUS. EVERY SCRIPTURE THAT I HAVE BEEN GIVING YOU HAS BEEN TELLING YOU THAT THE OLD TESTAMENT IS ABOUT THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. WHEN YOU STEP INTO THE PORTALS OF GOD'S WORD IN GENESIS 1-1, YOU BEGAN TO MEET THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. IN THE BEGINNING GOD CREATED THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH, AND YET THE BIBLE SAYS ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY JESUS.

7:59 AND YOU SEE, IT'S ALL ABOUT THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. AND YOU KNOW, IN GENESIS HE'S THE SEED OF THE WOMAN. IN EXODUS HE'S the Passover lamb. In Leviticus, he is our atoning sacrifice. In Numbers, he is the smitten rock. In Deuteronomy, he is that prophet who is to come. In Joshua, he is the captain of the Lord's host. In Judges, he is the deliverer of God's people. In Ruth, he is our kinsman redeemer. In first Samuel, he is the anointed one. In second Samuel, he is the king enthroned. In first Kings, he is the glory of the Lord, filling the temple. In second Kings, he is the royal seed. In first Chronicles, he's the glorious king. In second Chronicles, he's the Lord who appears to Solomon. In Ezra, he's the Lord God of our FATHERS. IN NEHEMIAH HE IS THE RESTORER OF ISRAEL. IN ESTER, HE IS THE ADVOCATE WHO PLEADS FOR HIS PEOPLE. IN JOB, HE IS MY REDEEMER THAT I KNOW THAT LIVES AND SHALL STAND UPON THE EARTH.

9:14 IN THE BOOK OF PSALMS HE IS THE SHEPHERD, HE IS THE SON, HE IS THE KING OF GLORY. IN ECCLESIASTES HE IS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF LIFE AND THE KEY THAT UNLOCKS THE MYSTERIES OF LIFE. IN THE SONG OF SOLOMON, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST IS THE HEAVENLY BRIDEGROON. IN ISAIAH, HE IS EMMANUEL, GOD WITH US. HE IS WONDERFUL COUNSELOR, THE MIGHTY GOD, THE EVERLASTING FATHER, THE PRINCE OF PEACE, THE VIRGIN-BORN SON OF GOD. IN JEREMIAH, HE'S THE DIVINE POTTER WHO IS MOLDING AND MAKING OUR LIVES. IN LAMENTATIONS, HE IS THE BROKEN-HEARTED JEHOVAH WHO WEAPS OVER US. IN EZEKIEL, HE IS THE GLORY OF GOD IN THE BOOK OF DANIEL. HE'S THAT STONE CUT OUT OF THE MOUNTAIN WITHOUT HANDS THAT WILL SMITE THE IMAGE OF THIS UNGODLY WORLD UPON ITS FEET AND THEN BECOME A KINGDOM THAT WILL FILL THIS EARTH. IN HOSEA, THE LORD JESUS IS THE CHILD CALLED OUT OF EGYPT. IN JOA, HE IS THE LORD THAT ROARS OUT OF ZION. IN AMOS, JESUS IS THE JUDGE OF THE NATIONS. IN OBADIAH, HE IS THE LORD OF THE coming kingdom. In Jonah, he is God's messenger to the Gentiles.

10:28 In Micah, he is Bethlehem's baby, the one who is going to be the ruler of Israel. In Nahum, he is a stronghold in the day of trouble. In Habakkuk, he is the Lord in his holy temple. In Zephaniah, he is the king of Israel. In Haggai, he is the Lord of hosts. In Zechariah, he is the Lord coming into Jerusalem RIDING UPON A COLD IN MALACHI. HE IS THE COMING MESSENGER, THE SON OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, WITH HEALING IN HIS WINGS. ALL OF THE BIBLE, ALL OF THE BIBLE IS ABOUT THE LORD JESUS. JESUS SAID, I DIDN'T COME TO DESTROY THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. WHEN HE SAID THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS, HE MEANT THE OLD TESTAMENT. HE SAID, I DIDN'T COME TO DESTROY IT. I CAME TO FULFILL IT. IT IS ALL ABOUT ME. SUCH A WONDERFUL BOOK IS THE BIBLE. OH, THE PROPHECIES OF THE OLD TESTAMENT ARE FULFILLED IN THE LORD JESUS.

11:24 JOYCE AND I PICKED UP THE PHONE AND CALLED OUR SON DAVID, WHO'S A MISSIONARY IN SPAIN. THAT'S AN AMAZING THING, THAT WE IN MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE CAN PICK UP A TELEPHONE AND PUSH SOME NUMBERS AND ON THE OTHER END, ONE PERSON WILL ANSWER AND WE CAN JUST PUSH SOME NUMBERS AND WE ELIMINATE EVERYBODY ELSE. DID YOU KNOW, I, I WAS THINKING THAT THE BIBLE IS THAT WAY, PROPHECY IS THAT WAY, THAT BY THE PROCESS OF ELIMINATION, ALL PROPHECY CENTERS IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. FOR EXAMPLE, LET ME TELL YOU HOW THE BIBLE SAYS THAT JESUS, OR HOW JESUS IS PROPHESIED IN THE BIBLE. YOU STEP INTO THE BIBLE AND IN GENESIS CHAPTER THREE VERSE 15 YOU FIND THE FIRST PROPHECY OF THE COMING OF OUR LORD. AND THE BIBLE SAYS THAT HE IS TO BE THE SEED OF THE WOMAN. THAT IS, THE MESSIAH IS NOT GOING TO BE AN ANGEL IS NOT GOING TO BE GOD SITTING IN HEAVEN, BUT IT'S GOING TO BE SOMEONE OF THE HUMAN RACE. SO RIGHT AWAY YOU ELIMINATE ALL THE BILLIONS OF ANGELS AND ALL OF THE OTHER CREATED BEINGS. NONE OF THEM ARE THE REDEEMER. SO, UH, FIRST OF ALL, A CERTAIN RACE. AND THEN YOU GO TO GENESIS CHAPTER NINE AND VERSE 26 AND YOU SEE THAT THERE'S A CERTAIN SECTION OF THAT RACE. YOU SEE, YOU PUSH THE NEXT NUMBER AND YOU ELIMINATE THE SONS OF JAPHETH AND YOU ELIMINATE THE SONS OF HAM AND YOU JUST COME TO THE SONS OF SHEM. OUT OF THAT SECTION OF THAT RACE THE MESSIAH IS GOING TO COME. AND THEN YOU PUNCH ANOTHER NUMBER AND IT BRINGS UP A, A NATION OF THAT SECTION.

12:55 BECAUSE THE BIBLE TELLS US IN GENESIS THAT, UH, THIS, THIS MESSIAH IS GOING TO BE A DESCENDANT OF ABRAHAM. SO WHAT YOU HAVE NOW IS A RACE AND YOU HAVE A SECTION OF THAT RACE AND THEN YOU HAVE A NATION OUT OF THAT RACE AND THEN YOU, YOU PUSH ANOTHER NUMBER, AND UP COMES A TRIBE OF THAT NATION. GENESIS CHAPTER 49 AND VERSE 10 TELLS US THAT MESSIAH IS GOING TO COME OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH. AND THEN YOU CONTINUE TO DIAL AND YOU PUSH ANOTHER NUMBER AND YOU FIND OUT THAT THE MESSIAH IS GOING TO COME OUT OF A CERTAIN FAMILY OF THAT TRIBE. AND MESSIAH HAS TO BE A DESCENDANT OF JESSE. THEN YOU PUSH ANOTHER NUMBER AND YOU FIND OUT THAT THE MESSIAH IS GOING TO COME OUT OF A CERTAIN WOMAN OUT OF THAT FAMILY. ISAIAH CHAPTER SEVEN VERSE 14, A VERY UNUSUAL WOMAN, SHE IS GOING TO BE A VIRGIN. YOU PUSH ANOTHER NUMBER AND YOU FIND OUT WHERE THIS WOMAN IS GOING TO BE WHEN MESSIAH IS BORN. IN MICAH FIVE VERSE TWO, IT MUST BE IN BETHLEHEM. THEN YOU PUSH ANOTHER NUMBER AND YOU GET THE TIME WHERE MESSIAH IS GOING TO BE BORN IN BETHLEHEM OF THIS WOMAN, OF THAT FAMILY, OF THAT TRIBE, OF THAT NATION, OF THAT SECTION OF THAT RACE. THE PHONE RINGS AND JESUS IS ON THE OTHER END. I MEAN, DEAR FRIEND, IT'S JUST, IT, GOD JUST KEEPS ON, UH, TIGHTENING THE FOCUS. IT, IT'S INCREDIBLE HOW THE SCRIPTURE IS FULFILLED IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. JESUS SAID, I DIDN'T COME TO DESTROY THE OLD TESTAMENT, I CAME TO FULFILL IT. IT IS AMAZING HOW THESE OLD TESTAMENT PROPHETS PAINTED A PORTRAIT OF LORD JESUS. COULD YOU PAINT A PORTRAIT OF SOMEBODY HAVING NOT SEEN HIM? HUH, WELL, THEY PAINTED A PORTRAIT OF JESUS AND FILLED IN SUCH DETAIL. IT'S INCREDIBLE. AND NOT JUST ONE PERSON WORKED ON THAT PORTRAIT. TWENTY TO TWENTY-FIVE, UH, PEOPLE PAINTED THAT PORTRAIT CENTURIES BEFORE THE LORD JESUS CHRIST EVER CAME, AND THEY PAINTED A WORD PORTRAIT OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST AND FILLED IN THE DETAILS. DID ALL OF THAT HAPPEN JUST BY CHANCE? PETER STONER HAS WRITTEN A BOOK

15:00 CALLED SCIENCE SPEAKS. AND, AND HE TAKES THE PROPHECIES OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. AND, AND BY THE WAY, LET ME TELL YOU, IN THE OLD TESTAMENT THERE ARE ABOUT 333 PRECISE DETAILS THAT TELL ABOUT THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. 333. HE, PETER STONER JUST TAKES EIGHT OF THESE, NOT 333, BUT JUST EIGHT OF THESE. AND HE'S A MATHEMATICIAN. AND HE FIGURES OUT THE PROBABILITY, THE LIKELIHOOD THAT ALL EIGHT OF THESE PROPHECIES COULD HAVE BEEN FULFILLED IN ONE PERSON BY CHANCE. DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT CHANCE IS? HA, HA, HA, IT IS ONE IN TEN TO THE SEVENTEENTH POWER. YOU JUST KEEP ON ADDING SEVENTEEN ZEROES. I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT NUMBER THAT IS. I COULD, I, I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO PRONOUNCE THE NUMBER. I, I CAN'T EVEN FIGURE IT OUT. JUST PUT SEVENTEEN, ONE IN TEN, FOLLOWED BY SEVENTEEN ZEROES. HOW DO YOU DO IT? WELL, PETER STONER SAID, FOR PEOPLE LIKE ME WHO ARE NOT MATHEMATICIANS. I CAN PICTURE THIS. HE SAID, IF YOU WERE TO TAKE THE STATE OF TEXAS AND COVER IT WITH SILVER DOLLARS TWO FEET DEEP, NOW I'M SURE THE TEXANS WOULD LIKE THIS, BUT IF YOU WERE TO TAKE THE STATE OF TEXAS AND COVER IT FROM BORDER TO BORDER WITH SILVER DOLLARS TWO FEET DEEP AND THEN BLINDFOLD A MAN AND, UH, LET HIM WALK AS FAR AS HE WANTED AFTER YOU'D STIRRED ALL OF THOSE SILVER DOLLARS, AND IF HE WERE TO PICK OUT THE ONE SILVER DOLLAR THAT YOU HAD MARKED, THAT IS APPROXIMATELY THE SAME CHANCE THAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT, THAT THESE EIGHT PROPHECIES COULD HAVE BEEN FULFILLED BY CHANCE.

16:32 BUT MY DEAR FRIEND, IT'S NOT ONE IN EIGHT, IT IS ONE IN, UH, 333 EXACT PRECISE, UH, DETAILS ABOUT THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. IT'S AMAZING. WHEN YOU, WHEN YOU STUDY THE BIBLE, FRIEND, IT'S ABOUT JESUS. YOU KNOW, THE BIBLE SAYS, IT, IT SPEAKS OF GOD CREATING THE HEAVENS, THE STELLAR HEAVENS, the, the great, uh, uh, galaxies that sweep across velvet, heh, blackness and night and, and from, uh, from this direction to that direction and that direction on into infinity. The billions and billions and billions of stars. You know how God describes that in His Word? He made the stars also. That's it. That's it. I mean, just five words, He made the stars. But he takes a little tent in the wilderness, the tabernacle, just a little tent, and he takes about fifty chapters describing that little tent. Why is that? Because that tent, that tabernacle is a picture and a prophecy of the Lord Jesus Christ. And as you study the tabernacle, you understand what, uh, the Bible means when it says, and the Lord was made flesh and tabernacled among us. You see, all of that Old Testament. All of it was a picture of the Lord Jesus Christ. He didn't come to destroy the law and the prophets. Jesus came to fulfill the law and the prophets. So put it down. Jesus, number one, prophetically fulfills the Word of God. If you're enjoying this message from Adrian Rogers and would like to dig a little deeper into today's topic, download this free companion Bible study. Use the link above to get yours. Number two, Jesus practically fulfills the Word of God. Now, not only did he fulfill the prophets, he fulfilled the law. And the law is God's demand upon us.

18:30 The law speaks of God's righteous demands because not only was the Old Testament full of prophecy, it's full of requirements. And Jesus, to the letter, fulfilled the law. Jesus fulfilled the moral law. The law is full of moral demands, but Jesus Christ was the only man who ever lived who absolutely, totally, to perfection, kept every point of the law. No one could point to the Lord Jesus Christ and say, He broke the law of God. Jesus Christ could stand before them all and say, who can convict me of sin? Sin is the transgression of the law, my dear friend. And Jesus fulfilled it in spirit and in letter. He fulfilled the moral law. Jesus fulfilled the ceremonial law. All of those Old Testament ceremonies were about the Lord Jesus Christ.

19:26 Uh, all of the Old Testament sacrifices pointed toward the Lord Jesus Christ. THERE WAS A RUSSIAN, UH, PSYCHOLOGIST THAT I STUDIED ABOUT WHEN I WAS IN SCHOOL AND I'M SURE YOU DID. HIS NAME WAS PAVLOV. AND PAVLOV, UH, DID EXPERIMENTS IN WHAT WE CALL CONDITIONED RESPONSE. YOU REMEMBER THAT? WHAT PAVLOV DID, HE GOT SOME DOGS AND PUT THEM IN A PEN AND, UH, BEFORE HE WOULD FEED HIS DOGS, HE WOULD RING A BELL AND THEN HE WOULD PUT DOWN THE DOG FOOD. EACH DAY HE'D COME IN AND RING THE BELL AND FEED THE DOGS. UH, THE TIME CAME WHEN ALL PAVLOV HAD TO DO IS JUST RING THE BELL AND THE DOGS WOULD BEGIN TO DROEL. THEY'D JUST salivate. He had, he had built into those dogs what he called a conditioned response. And the ringing of the bell meant food. God in the Old Testament was building into his people a conditioned response. And every time one of those animals was slain and the blood was poured out and that animal was offered on a smoking Jewish altar, what was God doing? God was building into his people a conditioned response. God was teaching them that sin means death. The wages of sin is death. The soul that sin, it must surely die. And the Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord Jesus Christ was the answer to the conditioned response that God had been building through the centuries. You see, Jesus fulfilled that. Every Old Testament sacrifice, every Old Testament ritual was God's bell ringing, teaching that sin meant death and man needs a Redeemer. Jesus, my friend, fulfilled the moral law. Jesus fulfilled the ceremonial law of the Old Testament. And so therefore it's been filled up in the Lord Jesus. We, we don't need that anymore. Uh, my dear friend in Christ is fulfilled. I don't need a high priest anymore.

21:15 He is my high priest. I don't need a bloody altar anymore. The blood of Jesus Christ, God's son cleanses me from all sin. I don't try to keep the Sabbath day, Saturday, which is the seventh day because every day for me is a holy day because Christ is my rest. You see, Jesus, Jesus fulfilled the moral law. Jesus fulfilled the ceremonial law. And oh, my dear friend, Jesus fulfilled the judicial law of God. What is the judicial law of God? The judicial law of God is that the wages of sin is death. The soul that sinneth, it must surely die. And so the Lord Jesus CHRIST TOOK MY SIN, YOUR SIN, CARRIED THAT SIN TO THE CROSS, AND JESUS FULFILLED THE LAW BY DYING FOR OUR SIN. AND THE BIBLE TELLS US IN GALATIANS CHAPTER THREE AND VERSE 13 THAT HE HAS REDEEMED US FROM THE CURSE OF THE LAW BECAUSE HE WAS MADE A CURSE FOR US. HE CARRIED MY SIN TO THE CROSS.

22:15 AND YOU SEE, HE PAID AND MET THE RIGHTEOUS DEMANDS OF THE LAW, AND THAT'S WHAT HE MEANT WHEN HE HUNG HIS HEAD WHEN HE DIED AND SAID, TETALESTI, THAT MEANS IT IS PAID IN FULL. I HAVE FULFILLED THE JUDICIAL DEMANDS OF THE LAW. I FULFILLED THE LAW. I PAID IN FULL. MAN'S SIN HAS BEEN PAID FOR. AND THEREFORE, THE BIBLE SAYS IN ROMANS CHAPTER TEN AND VERSE FOUR, FOR CHRIST IS THE END OF THE LAW FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS TO EVERYONE THAT BELIEVETH. WHY? BECAUSE HE FULFILLED THE LAW. WE'RE NOT UNDER THE LAW ANYMORE BECAUSE JESUS HAS FULFILLED THE LAW. THE LAW SAYS, DO THIS AND THOU SHALT LIVE. THE GOSPEL SAYS, LIVE AND THEN THOU SHALT DO. THE LAW SAYS, PAY ME ALL THAT YOU OWE. BUT THE GOSPEL SAYS, I FREELY FORGIVE THEE ALL. THE LAW SAYS, THOU SHALT LOVE THE LORD THY GOD WITH ALL THY HEART, WITH ALL THY SOUL AND WITH ALL THY MIND. BUT THE GOSPEL SAYS, HEREIN HIS LOVE, NOT THAT WE, AH, LOVE GOD, BUT THAT HE LOVED US AND SENT HIS SON TO BE THE PROPITIATION, THE SATISFACTION FOR OUR SINS. THE LAW SAYS, CURSED IS EVERYONE THAT CONTINUETH NOT IN ALL THINGS WHICH ARE WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF THE LAW TO DO THEM.

23:31 THE GOSPEL SAYS, BLESSED IS THE MAN WHOSE INIQUITIES ARE FORGIVEN AND WHOSE SINS ARE COVERED. THE LAW SAYS, THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH. THE GOSPEL SAYS THE GIFT OF GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD. THE LAW DEMANDS HOLINESS. THE GOSPEL GIVES HOLINESS. THE LAW SAYS DO. THE GOSPEL SAYS DONE. THE LAW MAKES BLESSING THE RESULT OF OBEDIENCE. THE GOSPEL MAKES OBEDIENCE THE RESULT OF BLESSING. THE LAW PUTS THE DAY OF REST AT THE END OF THE WEEK. THE GOSPEL PUTS IT AT THE BEGINNING OF THE WEEK BECAUSE WE HAVE NEW LIFE IN CHRIST. THE LAW SAYS, IF, THE GOSPEL SAYS, THEREFORE. THE LAW SAYS, RUN, BUT IT GIVES US NO LEGS. THE GOSPEL SAYS, FLY, AND IT GIVES US WINGS. WHY? WHY? BECAUSE CHRIST FULFILLED THE LAW. HE SAID, I DIDN'T COME TO DESTROY THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. I CAME TO FULFILL IT. AND WHEN GOD FORGIVES MY SIN, GOD DOESN'T OVERLOOK HIS LAW. GOD DOESN'T SAY THE LAW DOESN'T MATTER. OH, MY DEAR FRIEND, LISTEN, JESUS PAID IN FULL FOR MY SIN DEBT.

24:44 NOW LISTEN, JESUS FULFILLED THE LAW FOR ME AND NOW HE FULFILS IT IN ME, IN ME. HE PAID MY FAILURE, HE PAID MY SIN DEBT AND NOW THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THE LAW IS WORKED OUT IN EVERY ONE OF US WHO LOVE THE LORD JESUS CHRIST AND LOVE IS THE FULFILMENT OF THE LAW. HOW, HOW WONDERFUL THAT IS. YOU SEE, JESUS PROPHETICALLY FULFILS THE WORD OF GOD. JESUS PRACTICALLY FULFILS THE WORD OF GOD. ONE LAST THING, JESUS PERFECTLY FULFILS THE WORD OF GOD. LOOK AT IT AGAIN IN, IN, UH, VERSE 18, FOR VERILY, AND BY THE WAY, WHEN JESUS SAYS VERILY, THAT'S, THAT'S THE TIME TO PUT UP YOUR ANTENNA. THAT MEANS PAY ATTENTION. THAT MEANS TRULY, THAT MEANS I AM EMPHASIZING THIS. NOW LISTEN, FOR VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU, TILL HEAVEN AND EARTH PASS, AND FRIEND, ONE DAY IT WILL, HA, HA, AND IF, IF THIS WORLD IS YOUR HOPE, YOU'RE JUST ARRANGING THE DECK CHAIRS ON THE TITANIC, TILL HEAVEN AND EARTH PASS, ONE JOT OR ONE TITTLE TITTLE SHALL IN NOWISE PASS FROM THE LAW TILL ALL BE FULFILLED. NOW WHAT'S A JOT AND A TITTLE? HE'S TALKING ABOUT AN IOTA AND A YODA, THE LITTLE, UH, THE, THE, THE SMALLEST HEBREW LETTER AND THE SMALLEST LITTLE MARKING, LITTLE STROKE OF A PEN. JESUS SAID, THE SMALLEST PART OF ALL OF THIS, None of it's going to pass.

26:27 None of it's going to pass. The Word of God stands. Did Jesus believe in the inerrancy of the scripture? You better believe He did. Did Jesus believe in the infallibility of the Word of God? You better believe He did. Did Jesus believe in the instructibility of the Word of God? Of course He did. Did Jesus believe in the authority of the Word of God? Of course He did. My dear friend IF JESUS IS YOUR MASTER AND YOUR LORD, THEN YOUR MASTER AND YOUR LORD'S VIEW OF SCRIPTURE MUST BE YOURS. AND REMEMBER, WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT THE NEW TESTAMENT HERE. THE NEW TESTAMENT IS INSPIRED TOO, BUT YOU KNOW THE BATTLE IS TODAY OVER THE OLD TESTAMENT. THIS IS WHAT JESUS IS TALKING ABOUT. JESUS HERE IS TALKING ABOUT THE OLD TESTAMENT. AND HE'S SAYING, NOT THE SMALLEST PIN MARKING WILL FAIL TO ALL BE FULFILLED. I HEARD ABOUT A MAN WHO, UH, ABSENTMINDEDLY IN A MEETING, AFTER HE READ THE SCRIPTURE, HE'D BEEN USED TO PRESIDING, SAID, IF THERE ARE NO ADDITIONS OR CORRECTIONS, THE SCRIPTURE STAND APPROVED AS READ. HA, HA, HA. WELL, FRIEND, THEY DO. AND THEY DON'T NEED YOUR ADDITIONS OR YOUR CORRECTIONS. JESUS SAID, NOT A JOCK, NOT A TITLE, NOT AN IOTA, NOT, NOT A SUBSCRIPT WILL FAIL FROM THE LAW UNTIL ALL BE FULFILLED. NOW, FRIEND, IF THERE ARE ERRORS IN THE BIBLE, LISTEN TO ME, IF THERE ARE ERRORS IN THE OLD TESTAMENT, YOU MUST CONCLUDE ONE OF TWO THINGS ABOUT THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. PUT THIS SCRIPTURE NOW IN FRONT OF YOU, VERSE 18, AND CONCLUDE THIS. IF THERE ARE ERRORS IN THE OLD TESTAMENT, EITHER JESUS CHRIST WAS IGNORANT OF THOSE ERRORS, THEREFORE HE WAS NOT OMNITION, COULD NOT HAVE BEEN GOD IN HUMAN FLESH, OR ELSE JESUS KNEW THERE WERE ERRORS AND PRETENDED THERE WERE NOT, AND THEREFORE JESUS WAS dishonest and a fraud and a fake, or else the Bible is exactly what Jesus believed it to be, the inerrant, infallible Word of God. Now, Jesus said, listen, not a jot, not a tittle shall fail from the law till all be fulfilled.

28:33 That is, there's more yet to be fulfilled. You see, Jesus, who came the first time, and I said there are 333, uh, precise details that prophesy His FIRST COMING. THERE ARE MANY MORE THAT PROPHESY HIS SECOND COMING, AND JESUS SAID, YOU CAN BANK ON IT, NOT A JOT NOR A TITTLE WILL FAIL TILL ALL BE FULFILLED. THAT ENCOURAGES ME. BECAUSE THE OLD TESTAMENT SAYS SOMEBODY IS COMING, BUT IT ALSO SAYS SOMEBODY IS GOING TO COME AGAIN. I WAS TALKING TO A MAN, CALLED ME UP TO INTERVIEW ME, AND HE ASKED ME ABOUT THE COMING ELECTION. HE SAID, UH, DO YOU HAVE ANY PROGNOSTICATIONS? DO YOU HAVE ANY PROPHECIES? WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN? I SAID, WH我也 nós kav商談 돌� Costco selling mày crackers THEY SAY THEY SAY YEAH veya VERY SHE OVERаемся

29:30 LOOKته tay PatreonMAN CHADis постро LORD, AS WATERS THAT COVER THE SEA, AND YOU CAN PUT IT DOWN BIG, AND YOU CAN PUT IT DOWN PLAIN, AND YOU CAN PUT IT DOWN STRAIGHT, THAT THE SAME BIBLE THAT WAS MINUTELY AND GLORIOUSLY FULFILLED WILL BE FULFILLED IN THE SECOND COMING OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST. NOW, I SAID I WANTED TO SPEAK TO YOU ABOUT THE SECRET OF FULFILLMENT. LISTEN, FRIEND, THE CHRIST WHO FULFILLED THE PROPHECIES, AND THE CHRIST WHO FULFILLED THE LAW, THE CHRIST WHO WILL COME AGAIN TO FULFILL HISTORY IS THE ONE THAT YOU'RE LONGING FOR, THAT GOD MADE YOU FOR, THE ONE THAT YOU'RE HUNGRY TO KNOW. YOU MAY NOT KNOW IT, BUT HE'S WHAT YOU'RE LONGING FOR. HE REALLY IS. FRIENDS ALL AROUND ME ARE TRYING TO FIND WHAT THE HEART YEARNS FOR BY SIN UNDER MIND. I HAVE THE SECRET. I KNOW WHERE TIS FOUND. ONLY TRUE PLEASURES IN JESUS ABOUND.

30:53 Jesus is all this world needs today. Blindly they strive, for sin darkens their way. Oh, to pull back the grim curtains of night. One look at Jesus and all will be light. Christ is what you long for. Christ is what you hunger for. He fulfilled the prophecies and He fulfilled the law that he might fulfill the deepest need of your heart. If I could give my heart to Jesus Christ for you, I would. If I could trust him on your behalf, I would, but I cannot. If I could walk down this aisle and openly stand for Jesus on your behalf, I would, but I can't. Nobody can do it for you, and I don't think anyone can keep you from doing it.

31:48 I know there are not enough angels in heaven TO DRAG YOU DOWN THIS ISLE BECAUSE GOD WOULDN'T ALLOW IT. THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH DEMONS TO KEEP YOU FROM COMING BECAUSE GOD WOULD NOT ALLOW THAT. HE SIMPLY SAYS, WHOSOEVER WILL MAY COME. ARE YOU SAVED? ARE YOU A CHILD OF GOD? I DIDN'T ASK IF YOU WERE A BAPTIST OR A METHODIST OR A PRESBYTERIAN OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, JEWISH OR ROMAN CATHOLIC. ARE YOU SAVED. DOES GOD'S SPIRIT BEAR WITNESS WITH YOUR SPIRIT THAT YOU'RE A CHILD OF GOD? YOU CAN BE SAVED BY TRUSTING HIM RIGHT NOW. AND YOU CAN BE FULFILLED AND REALIZE WHY GOD MADE YOU, AND FOR THE FIRST TIME IN YOUR LIFE HAVE THE DEEPEST LONGING OF YOUR HEART MET. HEADS ARE BOWED AND EYES ARE CLOSED. NO ONE STIRRING, NO ONE LOOKING AROUND. IF YOU'RE HERE TODAY AND YOU'RE NOT ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN THAT YOU'RE NOT SAVED, MAY I HELP YOU TODAY TO RECEIVE CHRIST RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE. YOU CAN BE SAVED RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE SITTING THERE TODAY. LET ME HELP YOU TO PRAY AND RECEIVE HIM. NOW REMEMBER THAT JESUS CHRIST IS KNOCKING AT YOUR HEART'S DOOR RIGHT NOW. HE SAYS, BEHOLD, I STAND AT THE DOOR AND KNOCK. IF ANY MAN WILL HEAR MY VOICE AND OPEN THE DOOR, I WILL COME INTO HIM." SO HE'S RIGHT NOW KNOCKING AT YOUR HEART'S DOOR. HE BROUGHT YOU HERE TODAY THAT YOU MIGHT BE SAVED WHILE HEADS ARE BOWED AND EYES ARE CLOSED. I WANT TO HELP YOU TO OPEN THE DOOR AND RECEIVE CHRIST. AND RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE, FORGET, ANYONE ELSE IS HERE, I'D LIKE FOR YOU TO PRAY THIS WAY, DEAR GOD, THAT'S RIGHT, JUST SPEAK TO HIM, DEAR GOD, I KNOW THAT YOU LOVE ME, AND I KNOW THAT YOU WANT TO SAVE ME. JESUS, I

33:42 BELIEVE YOU ARE THE SON OF GOD. I BELIEVE YOU'RE THE SAVIOR OF THE WORLD. I BELIEVE THAT YOU DIED ON THE CROSS AND PAID MY SIN DEBT IN FULL, THAT YOU FULFILL THE LAW FOR ME. I BELIEVE THAT. I I BELIEVE THAT YOU WERE RAISED FROM THE DEAD. I BELIEVE IT. I BELIEVE YOU HAVE THE POWER TO SAVE ME AND TO CHANGE MY LIFE. I BELIEVE IT. AND NOW I OPEN MY HEART BY FAITH AND I RECEIVE YOU INTO MY LIFE AS MY LORD AND AS MY MASTER. I TRUST YOU NOW TO FORGIVE MY SIN, TO TAKE CONTROL OF MY LIFE, AND TO MAKE ME THE PERSON YOU WANT ME TO BE. COME INTO MY HEART, LORD JESUS. WOULD YOU PRAY THAT? COME INTO MY HEART, LORD JESUS. FORGIVE MY SIN. SAVE ME, LORD JESUS. PRAY THAT PRAYER. PRAY IT FROM YOUR HEART, SAVE ME, LORD JESUS. DID YOU ASK HIM? FROM THE DEPTH OF YOUR HEART, DID YOU SAY IT AND MEAN IT, SAVE ME, LORD JESUS? IF YOU DID, THEN PRAY LIKE THIS, THANK YOU FOR SAVING ME, JESUS.

35:06 I RECEIVE IT BY FAITH AND THAT SETTLES IT. YOU'RE NOW MY LORD, MY SAVIOR, MY GOD, AND MY FRIEND FOREVER. AND NOW, LORD JESUS, HELP ME NEVER TO BE ASHAMED OF YOU, BECAUSE YOU DIED FOR ME, I'LL LIVE FOR YOU. THANK YOU FOR SAVING ME." AND FATHER, I PRAY THAT MANY IN THIS BUILDING PRAYED THAT PRAYER TODAY. AND I JUST PRAY NOW, LORD, THAT YOU'D SEAL THE DECISION TO THEIR HEARTS IN JESUS' NAME.
