Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled

Well, as I read the Word of God from John 13, and as you follow along, remember this is God's very own Word.

It's inspired, inerrant, infallible, clear, and sufficient, and it's for you, His people.

When we're done reading, I'll say, this is the Word of God, and you say, thanks be to God.

So John chapter 13, I'm going to begin reading at verse 15, John 13, 15.

John 13 · chapter mention

This follows Jesus washing His disciples' feet, and in verse 15, Jesus says,

I have given you an example that you also should do, just as I have done to you.

Truly, truly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him.

If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.

Verse 18, I am not speaking of all of you.

I know whom I have chosen, but the Scripture will be fulfilled.

He who ate my bread has lifted his heel against me.

I am telling you this now before it takes place, that when it does take place, you may believe that I am He.

Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever receives the one I send receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me.

Verse 21, after saying these things, Jesus was troubled in His spirit and testified,

Truly, truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me.

The disciples looked at one another, uncertain of whom He spoke.

One of His disciples, whom Jesus loved, was reclining at table, at Jesus' side.

So, Simon Peter motioned to Him to ask Jesus, of whom was He speaking?

So, that disciple, leaning back against Jesus, said to Him, Lord, who is it?

Jesus answered, It is He to whom I will give this morsel of bread, when I have dipped it.

So, when He had dipped the morsel, He gave it to Judas, the son of Simon, and scared it.

Then, after He had taken the morsel, Satan entered into Him.

Jesus said to him, What you are going to do, do quickly.

Now, no one at the table knew why He said this to him.

Some thought that because Judas had the money bag, Jesus was telling him,

Buy what we need for the feast, or that we should give something to the poor.

So, after receiving the morsel of bread, He immediately went out, and it was night.

Verse 31, when He had gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of Man glorified,

And God is glorified in Him.

If God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself,

And glorify Him at once.

Little children, yet a little while I am with you.

You will seek Me, and just as I said to the Jews,

So now also say to you, I say to you,

Where I am going, you cannot come.

A new commandment I give you,

That you love one another,

Just as I have loved you,

You also are to love one another.

By this all people will know,

That you are My disciples,

If you have love for one another.

Simon Peter said to Him,

Lord, where are you going?

Jesus answered him,

Where I am going,

You cannot follow Me now,

But you will follow afterward.

Peter said to Him,

Lord, why can I not follow you now?

I will lay down my life for you.

Jesus answered,

Will you lay down your life for Me?

Truly, truly, I say to you,

The rooster will not crow

Till you have denied me three times.

Chapter 14, verse 1,

Let not your hearts be troubled.

Believe in God.

Believe also in Me.

In My Father's house are many rooms.

And if it were not so,

Would I have told you

That I go to prepare a place for you?

And if I go and prepare a place for you,

I will come again.

And I will take you to Myself.

That where I am,

You may be also.

This is the word of God.

Thanks be to God.

You may be seated.

Would you pray with me?

Oh God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,

We pray that you will communicate

To your people

Who are here in this world

The gospel message.

The truth of the kingdom of heaven.

We pray that you will convert sinners,

Sanctify your children,

Prepare our souls for heaven,

So that you will be glorified by the answer.

Amen.

Amen.

Beloved congregation of our Lord Jesus Christ,

The Father sent His Son,

So that your heart need not be troubled.

That's why the Father sent His Son into this world.

It's so that He could say to you,

Let not your heart be troubled.

This world,

We will have trouble.

This world is dangerous and scary for our soul.

And when your heart is troubled,

When you are downcast,

Be careful.

That's when you need to be the most careful.

A troubled heart is vulnerable.

Picture the prairies here in Colorado.

There's a flock,

Or I guess it's called a herd,

Like a herd of elk.

You can picture a flock of bingorn sheep.

Well, a pack of wolves,

They're going to look for the one that's limping.

And it's the one that's limping

That they're going to try to cut off

To devour.

We are most vulnerable

When we're troubled in the heart.

Like that pack of wolves,

Satan,

And the demons,

They want to come after you.

They want to get you while you're weak and limping,

Cut you off,

And destroy your soul.

The Puritan Thomas Watson,

He said,

Satan loves to fish

In the troubled waters

Of a discontented heart.

Now,

Jesus is going to continue with this theme

All the way into John 16.

And He says,

In this world you will have troubled disciples,

But take heart.

Hear that same thing?

He says,

I have overcome the world.

And I give you these words.

You know why Jesus says,

In the same upper room,

He says,

I give you these words

So you may have peace

In this troubled world.

You will have trouble,

But Jesus speaks to you.

He gives you His words

So you have peace

In the world.

See,

Jesus,

He is in the world

In the flesh,

And He's been troubled.

In John 11,

33,

He was troubled.

Remember?

He was deeply moved

And troubled in spirit

When He saw Mary

And the Jews weeping.

And He had compassion

For Mary and Martha

When Lazarus had died.

In the previous chapter,

John chapter 12,

John 12:27

Verse 27,

Jesus was troubled.

And He was troubled

In that chapter

When He knew

The hour of His death

Had arrived.

Remember the beginning

Of the next book,

The book of His hour

Leading up to His death

On the cross.

Now He continues

To build upon these themes.

He tells His disciples,

Let not your heart

Be troubled.

Last week we saw,

He said,

Instead of being troubled

And vying for power

And coveting

And bickering

With one another,

Serve one another.

This is what I am showing you.

I served you.

I took your dirt

On my person.

So you be clean.

Show that kind of love

And sacrifice

To one another.

He said in verse 17,

If you know these things,

Happy are you

If you do them.

But now we read

In chapter 13,

Verse 21,

That He is troubled.

And what comes next

Is the prophecy

In Psalm 41

That He will be betrayed

By one of His own disciples.

But yet,

Jesus is troubled Himself

In His words

To His disciples.

He says,

Little children.

See,

He speaks to them

As His own family.

The one who is troubled

Speaks love to them

Be comfort

To His disciples.

And He says in 14,

Verse 1,

Let not your heart

Be troubled.

So I'm going to walk us

Through this passage

That we just read

And I'm going to point out

Eight reasons

Why Jesus Christ

Can say to you

And to me,

Let not your heart

Be troubled.

So when you get home later

And we try to remember

Together,

What was the sermon

About again?

What was the point?

The point was this.

You don't have to have

A troubled heart.

And Jesus gives you

Eight reasons why.

Do you understand

Where we're going?

Do you understand

The point I'm trying

To show you?

Alright, here we go.

Number one.

Jesus,

The good shepherd

Who's now

The troubled shepherd

He comforts His sheep.

He says,

Let not your heart

Be troubled.

Reason number one.

Believe that I am He.

Jesus says,

Your heart is troubled.

Believe I am God

Sent to earth for you.

Look at verse 18.

This is John 13,

John 13:18

Verse 18.

I speak not of all of you

Saying

That you will be blessed

If you serve one another.

He says,

I know whom I have chosen.

I called every one

Of these twelve disciples.

And Jesus said,

The world will know

You're my disciples

By how you serve one another.

If you have my love

In your heart.

But He says,

Not all of you

Will do this.

Not all of you

Will serve one another

With love.

There is one among you

Who serves only himself.

Jesus said,

Yes.

This is troubling.

I chose a disciple

To be following me around.

To walk the way I'm walking.

To enjoy this last supper

With me and with you.

Knowing that one of you

Will betray me.

And I chose him to be here.

To fulfill scripture

He says in verse 18.

That scripture may be fulfilled.

The scripture says,

He that eats bread with me

Have lifted up his heel

Against me.

He's quoting Psalm 41.

Verse 19.

Jesus says,

Now I tell you

Before it happens

That when it does come to pass

You may believe.

The reason I'm telling you this now

That I will be betrayed

Is so that when I am betrayed

You will believe even more.

You will see that I'm in control.

You will see that I fulfilled Psalm 41

Even with choosing a disciple

Who would betray me.

And the reason I did that

Is so that you would believe even more.

In my words.

You would know me.

You would trust that I am God.

Reminds me of Psalm 46.

Ralph read Psalm 46 for us last week.

Be still.

Don't be troubled.

Be still.

And know.

I am God.

That's what Jesus is telling his disciples.

He's saying,

My kingdom will be opposed.

Satan will use one of you.

One of these men right here

To strike me with his heel.

When I send you out into the world

You will be opposed

The same way I will be opposed

And you will be betrayed.

You will wonder,

Is there really a king

In this wicked world?

You need to look back

At my words.

Remember,

This is all part of my plan

To reveal myself

And to strengthen your faith even more.

Believe.

Believe.

Believe that Jesus

Is the Lamb of Heaven

And his first coming

Is for your salvation.

Believe I am he

Who came to save you.

But also believe

That this Lamb of God

Will come back as the Lion.

He will come

And his kingdom in Heaven

Will be on earth one day.

Thomas Watson again.

He who believes not

In the blood of the Lamb

Must feel

The wrath

Of the Lamb.

Believe in Christ

And his kingdom

Now.

He's quoting Psalm 41

As I mentioned

But you know what

Psalm 41 is about?

It's a psalm of David.

And it's David

Describing

The troubled soul

He has

The anguish he had.

You know why?

Because he was betrayed

By his son Absalom.

Here Jesus calls

His disciples

Little children.

And one of his children

Will betray him.

Psalm 41 verse 9

Psalms 41:9

Says

Even my close friend

David

Describing Absalom

In whom I trusted

One of my princes

Who ate my bread

Has lifted his heel

Against me

But you oh Lord

Be gracious to me

And raise me up

That I may repay them

See the Lamb

Will come back

With wrath

By this I know

That you delight in me

This is

Now picture these words

On Christ's lips

To the Father

You delight in me

My enemy will not

Shout in triumph

Over me

He's looking past

Judas to sing

Who comes to kill him

Psalm 41 verse 12

Psalms 41:12

You have upheld me

Because of my integrity

And set me in your presence

Forever

Blessed be the Lord

The God of Israel

From everlasting

To everlasting

Amen

And amen

That's the end of

That passage

From Psalm 41

So when it feels like

The enemy will win

Jesus says

Believe

I am king

Do you feel that way sometimes?

You feel like the enemy

Is so powerful

You feel like

The cause of Christ

And the cause of your

Sanctification

Is almost hopeless

Believe that Jesus Christ

Is the king

Even the betrayal of Judas

Even Satan

Lifting up Judas' heel

Against Christ

Even that

Is to give you

More faith

More confidence

In Jesus

On the throne

The father sent the son

So that your heart

Does not need to be troubled

Be still

And know

That I am God

Second reason

Why Jesus

Can say to you

And to me

Let not your heart

Be troubled

Is because

He says

When you go

Into the world

You go

As my

Sent ones

So Jesus

The good shepherd

He comforts his sheep

He says

You will go

Into the

The world

You will be like

Sheep among the wolves

For you belong to me

You go with

My name

My kingdom

Holding me

So let not

Your heart be troubled

When you go

Look at verse 20

He says

Truly

Truly

Verily

Verily

Amen

Amen

Is what he says

I say unto you

He that receives

Whom so

Whoever I send

Receives me

And he that receives me

Receives him

That sent me

Jesus Christ

Was sent by the father

To bring a message

Of grace

To those who would

Believe in him

And when you go out

And you declare that message

You have his authority

And that authority

Is from the same father

Who sent the son

Let that comfort you

Have confidence

In declaring the gospel

With your words

And with your life

Jesus is saying

Go into the world

And advance my kingdom

You take my gospel

The kingdom of my church

Into the darkest regions

Of this world

You do it with confidence

You advance the church

Into foreign domain

You're knocking down

The gates of hell

Satan has been bound

The nations can no longer

Be deceived

Way up there

In Siberia

Up in northern Russia

The gates of hell

The gates of hell

The gates of hell

Cannot prevail

Against the kingdom

Of God

That marches forward

With the truth

And through the church

You can go with confidence

Like we sing in the hymn

Jesus says

You're my little children

And I'm telling you

This is my father's world

So you can sing it out

You belong to the same father

This is my father's world

Oh let me ne'er forget

That though the wrong

Seems oft so strong

God is the ruler yet

This is my father's world

Why should my heart be sad

The Lord is king

Let the heavens ring

God reigns

Let the earth be glad

Truly, truly

Jesus says

The father sent me

Into his world

And he did this

So that I would bring

The kingdom of heaven

The spiritual kingdom

On earth

You go out

And do the same

You declare

My coming kingdom

This is what Paul declares

In Romans chapter 3

Romans 3 · chapter mention

Starting at verse 23

Listen to how Paul goes out

Declaring the kingdom of God

For all have sinned

And fall short

Of the glory

Of God

There's confidence

The word will not prevail

You go out and declare

There is a God

This God is holy

And you under Adam

In your own sin

You have fallen

Short of his glory

Paul goes on

By God's grace

We are justified

Justified freely

Through the redemption

That is in Christ Jesus

Whom God has sent

That's just what Jesus said

Just as the father sent me

I'm sending you

God has set forth Jesus

He has sent his son

To be a propitiation

To be the penal

Substitutionary sacrifice

And by believing

And receiving his work

On your behalf

By faith alone

He puts his righteousness

On you

Declare that to the world

Paul writes

The forgiveness

Of sins

Through God's forbearance

By God's grace

To show his righteousness

At this time

That he might be just

And a justifier

Of the one who believes

Go into the world

Declaring that

You go as my sent ones

God is just

Repent

And when you repent

Look to Christ

He is the justifier

Of all that have sinned

You declare that

Jesus

Came so that you could have

Peace

With God

Your heart is troubled

In sin

Your heart is troubled

In the world

Jesus says

Fulfilling

Psalm 46

Be still

Know that I am God

I am

The eternal God

I am

Your very present

Health

In time of trouble

That's why you can be still

I am

With you

Go into the world

Declaring that message

And let my kingdom

Bring peace

To your heart

The third reason

Why Christ

Can declare that

Our hearts

Need not be troubled

Is because

Christ became troubled

In his spirit

For you

The troubled shepherd

Can comfort his sheep

He can

He can give peace

For the sheep

Because he took

Trouble

On their behalf

He can now say

Let not your heart

Be troubled

Look at verse 21

When Jesus had thus said

He

Was troubled

In spirit

This is one of the most

Clear verses for us

Of how

God

Becoming man

He was fully man

Not only was he fully divine

He was fully man

Both in body

His outer man

And his inner man

So

Our confession

That one of the creeds

The Chalcedonian

Creed says this way

One

And the same Christ

The Son

The Lord

The only begotten

By taking on flesh

Has two natures

Fully divine

Fully human

But these two natures

Are inconfusably

Unchangeably

Indivisibly

Inseparably

The distinct

Natures

Yet

They are united

They are in union

In one person

The property

Of each nature

Must be preserved

And concurring

In one person

One substance

Not parted

Or divided

Into two persons

But one

In the same

Only begotten

Son

That's what the

Chalcedonian

Creed

Worked out

From the Bible

This is

How

Jesus Christ

Can be the one

And only

Mediator

He says

Know and trust

That I am

Fully God

And being fully God

I became a man

So I would take

Your trouble

I would be troubled

In my soul

In my spirit

My spirit

I became fully human

So that I could be

Your perfect substitute

What troubled Christ?

His soul was troubled

By the pain of betrayal

Most likely

Each of us

Have suffered

Some form of betrayal

But surely

Nothing close

To what he experienced

And his inner man

Was troubled

By this hour

That he's in

As we already saw

In the previous chapter

He's troubled

To put it in one word

Jesus is troubled

By sin

And the pain of sin

And his experience

We can understand

This is the impact

Of sin upon

Any human soul

Using the language

Of the Bible itself

In Psalm 55

Psalms 55:4

Verse 4

Listen to how

The psalmist

Describes

A troubled spirit

Again this is

The prayer book

And the song book

Of our Lord Jesus

My heart is in anguish

Within me

The terrors of death

Have fallen upon me

Fear and trembling

Come upon me

And horror

Overwhelms me

When I'm troubled

In spirit

I don't know

If this is true for you

It's a fear of man

It's a fear of Satan

It's a fear of the damage

Of sin

And Christ

Never sinned

He's already declared

Satan will be cast down

And he has complete

Control over men

Even calling Judas

Knowing he would betray him

But yet

Christ is such

A perfect mediator

That he identified

With us

In our trials

His spirit

Was troubled

And he took on

Your trouble

And his spirit

So that you

No longer

Need to be troubled

That's why

The father sent him

So that your heart

Need not be troubled

Be still

Know that I am God

I am your very

Present

Help

In trouble

For the fourth reason

Jesus can say

Let not your heart

Be troubled

To his disciples

Is because

Christ has authority

Over man

And Satan

Those things

That trouble my spirit

And that cause fear in me

Look at how Christ

Commands

Both man

And Satan

Verse 21

Jesus testified

And said

Truly truly

I say to you

That one of you

Shall betray me

Then the disciples

Looked at one another

Uncertain of whom

He spoke

Now there was

One of his disciples

Who leaned

On Jesus' bosom

Whom Jesus loved

And therefore

Simon Peter

Motioned to him

To ask

Who it was

Of whom he spoke

Then

As he leaned

On Jesus' bosom

He said to him

Lord

Who is it

Jesus answered him

It is him

To whom I shall give

A morsel

When I have dipped it

And the mighty morsel

Of bread

And gave it

To Judas

Iscariot

Do you get the scene

Look at this

Lord's Supper

At this table

Right here

And last week

We saw

How they would be

Positioned for Jesus

To go around

Washing the feet

Of his disciples

So they would be

Using their right hand

To eat from the table

Leaning on their left hand

Reclining at the table

With their feet

Out away from the table

And Jesus took the towel

And washed their feet

Now in this passage

We're describing

How John

The disciple

Of Jesus loved

Was given a spot

Of honor

Right here

So he can

He can lean back

And talk to Jesus

And just say

Who is it

We're all very troubled

Here that you said

One of us is going

To be trained

Jesus had already

Quoted Psalm 41

I'll share bread

With the one

Who is at my table

Who will lift

His heel against

And then Jesus

Serves the bread

To a disciple

Within our reach

Sinclair Ferguson

Suspects Judas

Might have even been

Given one of those

Spots very close

To Jesus

A spot of honor

So Peter

On the other side

John right next

To Jesus

And then Judas

Very close by

A place of

Close intimacy

And trust

Just as John

Leaned and

Inclined himself

Close to Jesus

Jesus is

Inclining himself

And trusting himself

To Judas

So we get

The stage is set

For what's happening

In that room

Now look at

Verse 27

After

Judas

Ate the morsel

Satan

Entered

Into him

Now Judas

Who is

Blending in

With the disciples

Who is very

Close to Jesus

Who Jesus

Entrusted himself

To

Has Satan

Enter into him

Now the pattern

Has been the opposite

As Jesus

Walks throughout

Israel

He's the one

Casting out

The

He's the one

Who came to

Bind up the

Strong man

That's Satan

Over this world

And to

Plunder his

Good

Those are

The souls

Of his

People

Now by

The power

Of Jesus

In his

Timing

He hands

The morsel

To Judas

Not until

That very

Moment

Satan

Enteres

See how

Both the

Man

Chosen

By God

Left there

All alone

And then

Satan

Who enters

His soul

They're both

Under Christ's

Authority

It's when

And how

Christ

Commands it

For all

The disciples

This should

Be comforting

As scary

As man

Is

Even a man

Who would

Betray

And have

Jesus

Arrested

And as

Scary

As

Satan

Is

As ruler

Of the

Powers of

Darkness

Jesus

Has

Power

Complete

Power

And authority

Over both

Man

And Satan

Now Jesus

Says to

Judas

In verse

27

That you

Do

Do

Quickly

It wasn't

Until

After Jesus

Spoke that

Command

That Judas

And Satan

Left

Verse 28

But none

Of them

Who were at

The table

Knew why

Jesus

Said this

To them

For some

Of them

Thought Jesus

Had said that

To him

Just because

Judas

Had the

Bag to

Buy those

Things

That we

Needed

For the

Feast

And that

He should

Give something

To the

Poor

The greatest

Affliction

We can

Experience

Is

Perhaps

When

A fellow

Christian

Or someone

Within the

Church

Someone

Blending

In

As well

As Judas

Blended

In

Causes

Harm

To the

People

Of God

Those who

Try to

Blend

In

They are

Able

To do

It

Pretty

Successfully

In

Many

Ways

But remember

Jesus said

Blessed are

You if

You do

This

But I

Don't

Say all

Of you

Because you

Can't

Fake

Love

From God

For the

Church

Satan

Flatters

The proud

And puffs

Up the

Self-righteous

But there

Was one

Among them

Who would

Not serve

Them

Would not

Show

These other

Disciples

The love

Of Christ

Himself

Verse 30

Then as

Soon as

Judas

Received the

Morsel

He immediately

Went out

And it

Was night

John has

Been very

Aware of

The contrast

Between truth

And lies

Light

And dark

Life

And death

And it's

No mistake

That he

Says

As Judas

Went out

This hour

Of Christ's

Suffering

It was

Dark

The darkness

Sets

The tone

And yet

In dark

Jerusalem

Christ

Brings some

Of the most

Life-giving

Light

Bright

Words

To his

Disciples

And to

Human

Because

His

Kingdom

It's

Already

Though it's

Not yet

Fully

It's

Already

Inaugurated

One point

Of application

On this

That Christ

Has authority

Over man

And Satan

It's that

When

Those in

Authority

Sin

It's

Hurts

We've

All been

Hurt

By the

Sin

Of others

And especially

Someone like

Judas

Who was

Entrusted

With the

Money

And everybody

Would allow

Him to

Make the

Provisions

And he

Would hurt

Christ

And betray

The kingdom

Of Christ

Worse than

Anyone else

When those

In authority

Sin

It is

Troubling

So don't

Look to

Man

Don't look

To

Fallen

Sinners

Even

Those

Redeemed

By God

Man

Will

Hurt

Us

You can

Count on

Being hurt

By man

But Christ

Will never

Hurt you

And it's

Hard

You've been

Hurt by

Your father

You've been

Hurt by

A boss

So when you

Hear language

Of you're my

Children

Or you belong

To my kingdom

It's easy

For us to

Think of all

The brokenness

And all

That we've

Experienced

Abuse of

Men

But Christ

Will never

Hurt you

As we sing

In our song

With the kids

You can

Always run

To Jesus

Jesus

Strong

And kind

And he

Reveals to

You

The reason

The reason

Why the

Father sent

Him

He came

For that

Very reason

It's to

Heal

And to

Restore

And to

Allow you

To trust

The father

Through Jesus

Christ

So that your

Hearts be

Not troubled

He is with

You

Your present

Health

In trouble

Well the

Fifth reason

Why Jesus

Can say

Let not

Your heart

Be troubled

Is glorious

It's dark

Outside

But he

Now unveils

Without Judas

In the room

Without Satan

Clouding what

He's about

To speak

He has

Cleansed the

Church

He has

Practiced

Church

Discipline

You could

Say

Now look

At what

He opens

Up to

Those

True

Disciples

Who

Remain

With

Him

He

Says

Verse

31

When he

Had

Got

Out

After

Judas

Left

Jesus

Said

Now

Is

The son

Of man

Glorified

And god

Is glorified

In him

So yes

He's talking

About his

Death

He's talking

About a

Heel

Striking

Him

But he's

Saying

Immediately

Now

In this

Very same

Hour

In the

Midst

Of my

Death

I will

Be

Glorified

The son

Of man

Will be

Glorified

Before men

And before

God

Even in

His death

John

Gill

Broke it

Down this

Way

So

Helpfully

To me

How

Was

Jesus

Glorified

On the

Cross

In the

Eyes

Of man

On earth

The cross

Brought to

Earth

Darkness

Earthquake

Rending

Of the

Rocks

The veil

Of the

Temple

See

From the

Eyes

Of man

It was

A glorious

Event

At the

Death

Of Christ

But also

John

Gill

Wrote

In the

Eyes

Of the

Father

There was

An even

Greater

Glory

That was

Invisible

To the

Eye

But in

The

Spiritual

Realm

The

Most

Glorious

Truth

It

Was

This

Christ

Was glorified

In His

Death

In the

Eyes

Of His

Father

Because

Hereby

The

Purposes

Of God

Were

Accomplished

His

Covenant

Transactions

Were

Brought

About

His

Law

And

Justice

Were

Satisfied

And

The

Salvation

Of

His

People

Was

Finished

That's

How

The

Death

Of

Christ

Was

Glorified

In

The

Eyes

Of

Man

And

Of

God

In

Verse

32

Jesus

Says

If

God

Is

Glorified

In

Him

God

Shall

Also

Glorify

Him

In

Himself

And

Shall

Immediately

Glorify

Him

The

Best

Meaning

Is

That

As

Jesus

Will

Be

Crucified

And

Died

And

Buried

This

Will

Be

Relatively

Quick

God

Will

Not

Leave

His

Son

In

The

Grave

Nor

Will

His

Body

Suffer

Corruption

God

Will

Be

Raised

To

Life

And

On

The

Third

Day

He

Will

Be

Ascent

He

Will

Be

Lifted

Up

In

His

Glorified

Body

Proclaiming

His

Kingdom

And

Then

He

Will

Ascend

And

Be

Seated

At

The

Right

Hand

Of

The

Father

So

When

You

Think

Of

Christ

Yes

Look

To

His

Cross

But

Remember

From

His

Cross

He

Ascended

Even

Further

He

Was

Glorified

To

The

Highest

Heaven

And

He

Sits

At

The

Right

Hand

Of

God

The

Father

Almighty

And

When

You're

In

Trouble

You

Think

Of

Him

Glorified

Through

It

All

Through

The

Cross

And

The

Grave

To

The

Highest

Throne

Of

Heaven

Philippians

4

5

And

6

Says

The

Lord

Is

At

Hand

See

I'm

Very

Present

Help

Because

The

Lord

Is

At

Hand

Ruling

From

Heaven

He

Is

With

You

Do

Not

Be

Anxious

The

Father

Sent

His

Son

So

That

Your

Heart

Does

Not

Need

To

Be

Anxious

Be

Still

Know

That

He

Is

God

He

Is

With

You

In

Trouble

The

Sixth

Reason

Jesus

Can

Say

Let

Not

Your

Heart

Be

Trouble

It

Just

Keeps

Getting

More

And

More

Glorious

You

See

His

Glory

The

Sixth

Reason

Is

That

You

Belong

Through

Christ

To

God's

Family

You

Belong

To

God's

Family

There's

Several

Reasons

Why

First

He

Calls

You

His

Children

Look

At

Verse

33

Little

Children

Yet

A

Little

While

I

Am

With

You

You

Shall

Seek

Me

And

As

I

Said

To

The

Jews

Where

I

Go

You

Cannot

Come

He's

Calling

Them

His

Family

His

Children

He's

About

To

Go

Away

To

The

Obey

Me

What

Is

His

Commandment

Verse

34

He

Says

A

New

Commandment

I

Give

To

You

That

You

Love

One

Another

Now

This

Is

It's

New

For

One

Reason

But

It's

It's

Also

Not

New

Jesus

Has

Said

All

Of

The

Law

And

All

Of

God's

Word

All

Of
