-
Hey guys, it's Sarah. I just wanted to record something.
-
It's called the Church Bought with Blood. It's July eighth,
-
twenty twenty six. God bless you. So we go to
-
Exodus twelve, verse twelve. The Lord said to Moses and
-
Aaron in Egypt, this month is to be for you
-
the first month, the first month of the year, till
-
the whole community of Israel. That on the tenth day
-
of this month, each man is to take a lamb
-
for his family, one for each household. If any household
-
is too small for a whole lamb, they must share
-
one with their nearest neighbor. Haven't taken into account the
-
number of people there are. You are determined the amount
-
of lamb needed in a corner. But each person will eat.
-
The animals you choose must be a year old males
-
without defect, and you must take them from the sheep
-
of the goats. Take care of them until the fourteenth
-
day of the month, when all the members of the
-
community of Israel must flatter them at twilight. So there
-
was an appointed time to slaughter the l the lamb
-
there to take some of the blood and put it
-
on the sides of the drawer frase, and the house
-
is where they are when they eat the lambs. That
-
same night, there to eat the meat roasted over the fire,
-
along with bitter herbs and bread made without yeast. Do
-
not eat the meat raw boiled in water, but roast
-
it over a fire with head, legs and internal organs.
-
Do not leave any of it till mourning. And if
-
someone is left until morning, you must burn it. This
-
is how you are to eat it, with your cloak
-
tucked into your belt, your stands on your feet, and
-
your staff in your hands. Eat it in haste. It
-
is the Lord's passover. So on the passover they should
-
take the blood and put it on the sides and
-
top to their drawer frames. And why did God command
-
them to keep the passover?
-
On that same night?
-
I will pass through Egypt and strike down every firstborn
-
of both people and animals, and I will bring judgment
-
on all the gods of Egypt.
-
I am the Lord. The blood will be assigned for
-
you and the houses where you are. Where you are, and.
-
When I see the blood, I will pass over you
-
means pass over. It goes over the destruction. No destructive
-
play will touch you. When iye strikes Egypt. This is
-
a day you are to commemorate for the generations to come.
-
You shall celebrate it as a festival to the Lord,
-
a lasting ordinance. The Passover is a signed so God
-
conspiras when he brings judgment, when he brings judgment upon
-
other gods on the earth. It's the seal of protection
-
in all ages. Exodus thirty four, verse twenty five. He
-
wrote on the tablets the words of the Covenant of
-
the ten Commandments. As Christians, we should keep the ten Commandments.
-
But how Christ on some home opened the great truth
-
hidden for ages and generations. And the Lord said on
-
to Moses Hugh, the two stones of stone like the first,
-
two tablets of stone, like onto the first, And I
-
will write upon these tablets the first the words that
-
were in the first tablets, which thou breakest and be
-
ready in the morning, and come up in the morning
-
onto Mount Sign and presents itself there to meet me
-
on top of the mount. No man shall come up
-
with the neither let any man be seen throughout all
-
the mount, neither let the flocks nor herds before the mount.
-
And he hewed two tablets of stone like onto the first,
-
and Moses rose up early in the morning and went
-
up onto the mount, signing the Lord had commanded him,
-
and took his hands the two stones, the two tablets
-
of stone. And the Lord descended in the cloud and
-
stood with him there and proclaimed the name of the Lord.
-
And the Lord passed by before him, and proclaimed the Lord,
-
the Lord God, merciful and gracious, long suffering, and abundant,
-
and goodness and truth, keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquities
-
and transgression and sin. There will be no meaning clear
-
of the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon
-
the children and upon the children's children, onto the third
-
and fourth generation. And Moses made haste and bowed his
-
head towards the earth and worships. And he said, if
-
now I have found grace in thy sight, Oh Lord,
-
let let my Lord, I pray thee go among us,
-
for it is a stiff necked people, and partner our
-
iniquity in our sin, and take us for thy inheritance.
-
Said they make a covenant before old people that will
-
do marvels such have not been done in all the earth.
-
For a nation and all the people among which thou
-
art shall see the work of the Lord. For it
-
is a terrible thing that I will do with thee.
-
Observe that which I command thee. This day behold, I
-
drive out before thee the Amorite, and the Canonate, and
-
the Headed, and the Presite, and the Hithite and the Jebizite.
-
Take heed to thyself, that thou make a covenant with
-
the inhabitants of the land. Where though God, let's let
-
it be an there in the midst of thee, but
-
you shall destroy their altars, break their images, and cut
-
down their growth, for thou shalt worship no other god,
-
for the Lord whose name is Jealous God. Then Jesus said,
-
the first and greatest commandment is love the Lord your
-
God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind.
-
In other words, don't worship other gods. So how do
-
we do this through the covenant? That less thou may
-
of covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they
-
go on after other gods, and do sacrifice suns to
-
their gods. And call they with with the of His sacrifice.
-
And now take care of their daughters until their sons
-
and their daughters go on after their gods. Make their
-
sons go on after their gods. Thou shall make the
-
the nomal and gods. That is said, the feast of
-
unloved bread thou shalt keep. So keep the feast of
-
unloving bread. That's one of that's one of the seventh feasts.
-
And three times all that, all that, all that openess,
-
the matrix is mine. Every first ling among the cattle
-
or the ox, the sheep, that is now none shall
-
appear before me empty handed, tides and offering. Six days
-
thou shall work. But on the seventh day thou shall rest,
-
and your own time, and the harvest thus arrest. The
-
weekly Sabbath feast, thou shall observe, the feast of of
-
the first roots of wheat harvest, and the feasts of
-
and gathering at the year's end. Feast of weeks became
-
the feast of Pentecost, and the New Testament. The feast
-
of in gathering is another way of saying the feast
-
of tabernacles. So that means there's three seven feasts, and
-
three times. These are three times a year, these feasts
-
which contains seven feasts altogether. Within the three times a
-
year you go up to worship. Three times a year
-
you show all your men children, appear before the Lord God,
-
the God of Israel. Forever cast out the nations before
-
thee and enlarge their borders. Neither shall any man desire
-
thy land. When I shall go up to appear before
-
the Lord three times a year, thou shallt not over
-
the butt of my sacrifice with Levin. Neither shall the
-
sacrifice of the Feast of the Passover be left until morning.
-
God's sacrifice on the cross is contained in all the feasts.
-
And the Lord said on to Moses, write down these words?
-
What words were these the feasts of God? For after
-
these words I had made a covenant with Thee with Israel, warns,
-
with the feast, we can fulfill the Ten Commandments, God's covenant.
-
And he was there with the Lord forty days and
-
forty knights, and he wrote on the tablets the words
-
of the Covenant, the Ten Commandments.
-
Matthew twenty six twenty six.
-
While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he
-
had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to
-
his disciples, saying, taking eat, this is my body. Then
-
he took a cup, and when he had given things,
-
he gave it to them, saying, drink from all of you.
-
This is my blood of the Covenant, New Covenant, which
-
has put out for many for the forgiveness of sins.
-
For I tell you I will not eat drink from
-
this fruit of this vine from now until the day
-
when I drink it anew with you in my Father's
-
kingdom Ephesians one seven. In him we have redemption through
-
his blood, the forgiveness of sins, and in accordance with
-
the riches of God's grace that He lavished on us
-
with all wisdom and understanding.
-
One Corinthians ten sixteen.
-
Is not the cup of thanksgiving for which we give
-
thanks to participation in the blood of Christ and the
-
bread that we break, a participation in the body of Christ.
-
Because there is one loaf, we who are many or
-
one body, for we all share the one loaf.
-
Through the Passover.
-
We love one another as brothers and sisters, because we
-
are all one, one flesh and blood. We are heavenly family.
-
Acts twenty verse twenty eight. For that was a twenty
-
twenty eight. Okay, Acts twenty twenty eight.
-
I'm sorry.
-
Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which
-
the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, be shepherds of
-
the Church of God, which you bought with his own blood.
-
What church did the Holy Spirit establish with his own blood?
-
It was not any other name of the church except
-
the Church of God. The very church we are in
-
is the church God bought with his own bloods own blood,
-
and he told us to be shepherds of this church.
-
Galatians one thirteen. For you have heard of my previous
-
way in Judaism, how intensely I persecuted the Church of God.
-
And tried to destroy Apostle Paul.
-
I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my own
-
age among my people, and was extreme results for the
-
traditions of my father's. When God, who sent me apart
-
from my mother's wom and called me by his brace,
-
was pleased to reveal his son in me so I
-
might preach him among the gentiles, my immediate response was
-
not to console any human being. I did not go
-
up to Jerusalem to see those who were apostles before
-
I was, but I went into Arabia. Later I returned
-
to Damascus. Then after three years I went up to
-
Jerusalem to get acquainted with Sephists and stay with him
-
fifteen days. I saw no other, saw none of the
-
other apostles, only James, the Lord's brother. I assure you
-
before God that what I am ready to is no lie.
-
Then I went to Syria and Cilicia, and I was
-
personally unknown to the Church of Judaa that are in Christ.
-
They only heard the report the man who formally persecuted
-
us is now preaching the faith he once tried to
-
the faith he once tried to destroy.
-
And they prayed God.
-
They praise God because of me, who became a preacher
-
of the faith in the Church of God. Apostle Paul,
-
then we're in the very Church of God that all
-
the saints of the early Church and in the latter
-
day saints, that's the saints of this church in the
-
last days are part of One Corinthians eleven, verse one A.
-
Paul says, Apostle Paul, follow my example as I follow
-
the example of Christ.
-
Don't you have homes to eat or drinking?
-
Or do you despise the Church of God by humiliating
-
those who have nothing? What shall I say to you?
-
Shall I praise you? Certainly not in this matter, for
-
I received from the Lord. But I also pass on
-
to you the Lord used on the night he was betrayed,
-
took bread, and one of you had given things.
-
He broke in and said, this is my body, which
-
is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.
-
Then we should keep the passover and remembrance of Christ
-
suffering and dying on the cross for us. And the
-
same way after the supper he took the cup, saying,
-
this cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do
-
this whenever you drink it in remembrance of me. Whenever
-
you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim
-
the Lord's death until he comes. Should we follow Paul's
-
example in the Church of God and celebrate the passover
-
and preach the Passover? Yes, because he followed whose example
-
Christ example Luke twenty two twenty. And the same way
-
after the supper he took the cup, saying, this cup
-
is a new covenant in my blood. Would just poured
-
out for you. John fifteen five. The vine and the branches,
-
Jesus said, I am the true vine, and my father
-
is the gardener. He cuts off every branch of me
-
that bears no fruit. Well, every branch that does bear fruit,
-
he prunes that so that it will be even more fruitful.
-
You are already clean because of the word I have
-
spoken to you. Remain in me as I also remain
-
in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself. It
-
must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit
-
unless you remain to me. I am the vine. You
-
are the branches. Christ is the vine. We are the branches.
-
If you remain in me and I am you, you
-
will bear much fruit. Apart from me, you can do nothing.
-
If you do not remain in me. You are like
-
a branch that's thrown away and withers, such branches that
-
are picked up, thrown to the fire, and burned. If
-
you remain in me, in my words, remaining and you
-
ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.
-
This is my Father's glory that you bear much fruit,
-
showing yourself to be my disciples. As the Father has
-
loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in
-
my love. If you keep my commands, you will remain
-
in my love, just as I have. I kept my
-
father's command and remain in his love. I have told
-
you this that your joy may be complete. My joy
-
may be complete in you, and that your joy may
-
be complete. My command is this, love each other as
-
I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this,
-
to lay down one's life for one's friends. You are
-
my friends if you do what I command. I no
-
longer call you servants, because the servant does not know
-
as my master's business. Instead, I have called you friends.
-
For everything that I've learned from my father, I've made
-
known to you. You do not choose me, but I
-
chose you and appointed you so you might go and
-
bear fruit, fruit that will last, and so that whatever
-
you ask my father in my name, the father will
-
give you. This is my command. Love each other. If
-
the world hates you, keep in mind that are hating me.
-
First. If you belong to the world.
-
It will you as sown as it is. You did
-
not belong to the world, but I had chosen you
-
out of the world. That is why the world hates you.
-
Remember what I told you. A servant is not greater
-
than his master. If they persecuted me, they will persecute
-
you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours.
-
Also.
-
They will treat you this way because of my name,
-
for they do not know the one who sent me.
-
If I had not come and spoken to them, they
-
would not be guilt guilty of sin.
-
But now they have no excuse for their sin. Whoever
-
hates me hates my father as well.
-
If I had not done among them the works no
-
one else did, they would not be guilty of sin.
-
As it is they have seen. Yet they have hated
-
both me and my father. This is to feel what
-
was written in their law. They hated me without reason.
-
When the advocate comes, I will send who I will
-
send to you from the Father, the spirit of truth,
-
who goes off from the Father.
-
He will testify about me.
-
And you must also testify, for you have been with
-
me from the beginning.
