The Persecuted Church | Pr Matthew Chang

You're listening to a message to go from axt church.

We hope this message will light up your day.

I'm gonna preach about the seven churches in the Book

of Revelations.

Now drink you know why your friends cheese?

So it's actually a series, see lid. But because I

don't come here as often as I.

Can, cons you don't like, I'm gonna pick one of

the one of the letters and then preach on it

that she don't eat like she finished up and uh,

And I will give some details along the way as well.

Die put on the seats.

Yeah, how many of you have read about the seven Letters?

The letters the seven Letters to the churches before seven churches?

You do my name phone gate?

How many of you this is the first time? Okay? Okay,

I see quite number. I can't say okay. So what

I will do is that for the sake of of

those who are new the first time, I will also

give a bit of introduction to it as well.

Nat On.

Now let's start from Extra Revelations, chapter two, verse eight.

Now like man can tey party.

Now it says the title. It calls the persecuted church na.

Ta a ta a to t not you should pay

be poor the Chiahu in verse.

Eight, it says here and I read verse and to

the angel of the church in Smyrna. Right these things

says the first and the last who was there and

came to life.

Yep, the party jo sure, Nato and the more hold

does your ordered? Sure?

Okay, We're gonna stop there for a while. And now

the original author of this entire boat is the apostle John.

That didn't girl didtn't go to your hand.

He was exiled into an island.

Down So has the baby found that?

Because at that time, uh, there was Caesar who tried

to kill him, but it was not successful.

Down s This is a boat button Gong.

Apparently they tried to put him in the hot, boiling water,

but then he didn't die in somehow survive.

Because nahna dig she but I found that the girl

who Australian button.

And when you are not successful to killing a guy

who is very powerful and influential, he becomes more powerful

and more influential.

Daniel lies Sahai. Uh, it justn't put him like he said,

Higo face on your main lead the taker Honda turn

taker ran out to her.

Being your mean So what they could do next is

basically just remove him into an island.

So yeah, like sher insan leader and Hamabad, she found

it out IgA woodno son.

Okay, And in this island apartle John received a revelation

directly from Jesus himself.

Down't diggle your hands a sound? Had you see it?

Now? This apostle is who describes himself as the disciple

whom Jesus loves.

Natia ye Hannah a woman like she did. She attaches

it years, So I that evade It.

Was very close to Jesus.

Happened since the face, yes.

And so he would recognize Jesus if he sees Jesus

right now.

Say record had like Nao and canteen years to the

Hana has it hunting to years.

But if you read in the earlier chapters of this book.

She can't take tis that dunte that's help.

John begins to describe someone that looks like Jesus, but

he wasn't sure it was Jesus.

Because her cant and Hannah has sure taken canty like

young years because both eat by the trading years.

So that is why you don't have to turn to it.

That's why it describes that John saw someone that looks

like the son of men.

So in Johanna, how do you sh her?

Cantin e waite, But then he stops there and starts

to describe what he wears?

How do your teens you sho? How do you like trying?

Why did John describe this person about what he wears

instead of who he is?

And like she did, the is the trans cystant run outstant?

Yeah, okay, let me tell you and then give you

an example.

Never get leads.

Uh. Let's say if I know Pastor Ronson very well,

he's my he's my housemaid.

Now look.

You know, and we are good buddies and we hang

out all the time. We have meals together.

Eating like she adds the phantom but in.

But at work he's actually a doctor.

Because it's uh uh going through the has mean isn't.

So one day I got injured and I decided to

go to the hospital.

Rahanda, you're eating what you uh eating?

And I said to the nurse, I need to look

for Ronson, who's my friend to help me?

Neggar, who's the has e? Isn't well? Highlight bound to work?

And so I saw on that corridor. There's someone that

looks like Ronson.

Your kind of you know, Sam Ronson.

But then he was wearing a white long white jacket

with statoscopes and all the different things.

Because dance I just trying to, isn't the power hold?

And they say, uh, put on that and shan.

It looks like Ronson, smells like Ronson, sounds like Ronson,

and walks like pasta Ronson as well, Rahana and.

Tiny things, those things, those Sam Ronson.

But there's something different about.

Him, considered how the juice you eating young, He's not

just Ronson, Nasa buddher Sir rons It.

Right now, he's doctor Ronson.

Doctor Ronson.

Must be a style, so you notice it there's.

A difference or not, say it's just like that's happy man.

There is a similarity, but there's also a difference.

Nally, you're going you you're young?

Okay? Because John the Apostle, John knew Jesus in when

You and Hannah h yes, but there is a time

when Jesus will appeal to us with a different titles.

Hona, yes, take a light out woman means and what.

Gesus the clue of the title of Jesus. John noticed from.

What he wears cousuna, uh years to the turnhouse youhan years,

so that the transo and what was.

Jesus actually wearing and what what what what what? What

kind of occupation and title was.

He dressed like say down so the whole years turn house,

yet out this summer he was dressed like a.

Priest.

That was the hold the tronto your house.

That's a very important thing.

Take a faith, that is when what does the priest

do this the city in the summer.

One of the roles of a priest is the examining

the sacrifice given to the lord.

Owner justice like your sons had, like she season.

And also to examine the house of the lord is

prepared as what God has.

Commanded hue like she s and yeah, that trunk decision.

That is why in the first chapter you see John

describing Jesus, you know, as the one who holds the

seven stars in his hands. So you.

Down your hand, your shot down the uh yes water

So so what cheeker thing that?

Yes, you know, when Jesus rose up from the grave

and went to heaven and he didn't stop working, you know, down.

Light just.

Food who around like she surn oud, Jesus.

Didn't go to heaven to retire show. Instead she got promoted.

You know you understand that because on the when he

was on Earth, it was like he was representing Meli.

Even how THI took a details your.

Type. But when he finished his mission on Earth, he

got promoted to become a high.

Priest because thighlight, she tow one. How do you like

she patients sounds away.

It's like he got promoted from kneelin to become federal

level light. Why why the high.

Priest wast so much? Take out the teasue and why

Jesus wa years?

Because only Jesus.

Is worthy in the way way your years the pain

that you don't take the role based on grace, nigger,

then inter high priest is read for those who are

worthy to trick out of the same fun a way

of okay, I see a pay the rent.

You must be qualified to take up that role.

She are like she your your tag a normally chin

like she just.

Why no one else could take up that role as

a high priest except Jesus himself.

It's okay, it's your paid not she got the fun

through that years.

So if you have the lawyer to help you don't

you want the most qualified lawyer to help you.

Least like the honey she dies got faith on your

your your just a fad that's a least.

Not just any lawyer, federal lawyer.

You know certain god like she type your faith type,

seeing that ma best. Okay, just how they got her

girl that you got uh this.

Okay, I'm taking a bit slow. I need to go

be faster. Okay, now it says here he says. Now

Jesus in every letter introduces himself with a different title.

Now years sooner, time me you from seeing men like

she that tigger younger so.

To the church in Spyrner, he introduces himself as the

first and the last who was dead and came to life.

Okay, t has that she eats, so sing no more holdered,

silly your holder.

The reason why Jesus introduces him as such.

Now that you wait some years are like she eats

you understand like she like she is saying.

That it's two purposes, your younger moody first to give

a specific hope to the church.

Just said like thing that take a one like if.

Ronson comes to me not as a friend, as a doctor,

he gives me hope.

You know, don Ronson has even to a friend like

that way even see, wonder.

The doctor can help my problem? Isn't it my sickness?

In any way? Eastern care that she bunks a woman.

But the second thing a doctor can do is to

give you a warning, gaining the juicy thing out, okay,

about what you are having. Maybe you got cancer, maybe

you got something infection on your butt and all on

your knee. What you felt down, I don't know what

you did that, okay.

So just okay, that's the c ping.

Okay. So when Jesus introduces himself, he's giving them a

hope and also a warning.

Say down like she is that she gets so hy

your uh thing?

Now, it says it, let's continue. In verse nine, Okay,

he says it, I know your works, tribulations and poverty,

but you are rich and and I know the blasphemy

of those who say they are Jews and are not

but a synagogue of Satan.

Did you can't need? Do not need the pinch and

need chas your food to that turns to your tyrants

or swim push your tyrant equal the red.

Now, first of all, it says that Jesus knows, the knows,

their works, their tribulations, their poverty.

So satly or shut y hammond haman pinche.

Okay, now I need four volunteers. I need for four

volunteers to come up right now. Okay, sunk volunteers. I'll

be don't worry, I'll be gentle. Okay, fourvounte quickly, maybe

maybe for ladies, brothers, come come come quickly quickly. So

three persons standing this world, one person facing forward here. Okay, okay,

good this this will work. Okay, Now, can I give

you an introduction about how the the Roman world of

nation works.

That one guana uggin Okay.

In smaller like many cities, they have different people living

there that.

May Honduran due to the leader.

So the first group of people are the non believers.

The Pagans say they are like the Romans, the Greeks,

the Egyptians, or the different groups of people.

How many puton that? They say, guadiadaran.

They have all their different they believe in different gods,

belief systems.

Many U say, just put on the sing.

So we have here a number that's the first group

represented here. Okay, this is the first person here. Okay,

just think by so the second group of very prominent

people who are living in Sma in many places as well.

Just to other issi.

We have here the Jewish people, just.

A your tyrant, the Jewish people your tyrant, okay.

And the third new, very new group of people that

we have the.

Sons to faith seeing the itaching you're searching. We have

the Christians just a t two very new face hunting. Now.

So these three people form the majority of not majority,

but mostly in the different places that Paul visited.

So you know, the santur just the different sounds bout

hunter bols or like she uh she bi found.

In most of the cities that when they actually have

uh two main.

Religions tay soyer, does you see tourney men?

Okay? So the first religion is basically all the the Romans,

the Greek or the different gods they believe.

In Romance Seela that doesn't hear sin so there.

For example, the worship Zeus Diana Athena. All this from

the history, okay, just se soy back. But there is

also another major of course, the Jewish and the Christian

also are there also. Okay, now you're tire Mohammad, but

there is another major religion that was happening and growing

in major parts of the city.

To sing that take.

It's called the worship of Caesar.

Just a kaisa that take a thing bye, and so

we have Caesar here now material kaisa okay.

So if you want to go and check it out

and read history the exact word, it's called imperial cult worship.

Now tod thing that.

It's called the imperial worship okay, just like what the

imperial worship means that Caesar is not just a leader,

but Caesar is now a god.

So Kai like timeanus.

So if you go to now in Rome, in different

places are there will be temples that dedicate to different gods. No, you.

Found the son he come man, you put the hyang

why but.

There is a unique type of tempo that is only

dedicated to season.

Dinner. Just that she gets Kai sader okay, and.

Not every but in some of the cities this worship

of the season becomes uh, some of it may become

forced as well.

Now you're easier, this is so sooner Hamman tiger think

by the most baby like she think by Hya troum.

B Ka and the first city to implement this obligation

to worship.

Was Smyrna, not like she bab b the tigger sooner.

So how do you worship season?

You like she like? She think by trum kasana.

So you must understand that most of the places they stay,

they have a marketplace.

Not harmand that to Sha told you Harman, that's the girl.

H okay, just hanging there for me for a while. Okay.

So before you enter into the market think there will

be standing in front of the entrance. There will be soldiers.

Tying your time, and see a big suping.

And in front of the entrance there will be two altars. Okay,

to two altars with two big balls. Okay you.

One the first ball is chuckle with fire, one your tire,

your whole.

You can make there. Okay here like she so, But

on the second ball there is incense powder.

Did you go one.

More correct? Okay? So in front of the soldiers and

in front of the altar before I go into the marketplace.

So you learn, INSI in the mean out of the city.

This, I must take a pinch of the incense and

I throw it into the altar to burn it, and

it releases incense.

More like she found I take a whole tany men,

and then.

I must say Caesar is great, Caesar is called.

Founder, who was kaa assistant?

And then I will show faith and allegiance to the kingdom,

and then I can enter into the market.

Now just water, It takes a one. What you're seeing

seeing rau the city makes sense? Mean bime man.

So now the market is very very important.

Not take a city. It's a face face because.

The market is where you get all your food there

in c.

In the Sertney.

Slippings during that time, everything they did in that lis

they did at the marketplace.

Soya hamas for to that the same mind mind doesn't

see to say, don't see that.

You want to buy a house near my dear, You

want to travel to another place? You want to get

a business license?

Yeah, like that, need to take a sney. That's turn.

Everything happened in the marketplace. It's so not being able

to enter into the market means to be cut off

from society.

Or going rotten. That used to type you wait, pay,

take us search and payers.

Are you guys still still interested? I mean I can

see that. Okay, I'm not very quiet? Can follow her follow?

Is it interesting? I have you're not interesting, tell me

not interesting? Now you want to get back to them

and not Okay, let's let's let's learn how this involves

these people. Okay, run and she can't. So we have

the first group of people, the Romans and the Greeks

and the other people.

In turning by Loma the one Roman Natila sentence.

The first group of people, they just followed along. They've

got no problem with how much you want that? Just

a gun sound ballad, So yes, thank you, just sad

car KaiA. Okay. Then the second group of people are

the Jewish people.

Do that, just your tyrant.

But the Jewish people cannot do it, your tyre, because

the Jewish people only believe in one God.

Way you're tying haman evasi and so how.

Do they live among these people with this type of

our worship?

Your lies, she uh, your lies, she starts are easy.

You want to guess how to overcome this money, but

how uh it's true money is involved. Let me explain

how it works. Okay, So the Jewish people had an

agreement with Caesar.

Now just your tyrant, now her kai sana hamad.

So the Jewish people will be given exemption from doing this.

Worship Kai to see your tyrants, Hammand pay me and

to like she back.

But Caesar must have something Batman, because Kaiser has So

what is what do you what do the Jewish people

have to give you your.

Tyrant, hamy, your gate this the summer?

You know what is it? Moneyments that they will have

to allow Caesar to collect texts from the Jerusalem Temple.

Timand you're like, she run kaisa wan like yellow salmon

that she nah sway.

Why the Jerusalem Temple collect text.

Wait yellu Salem dinner Because every year Indian.

Now all the Jewish people must go back to Jerusalem

for the day of Atonement.

Talman may Indian and You're like, you see the whole

Harman to see your tyrants.

You're like, for them is the most sacred and who

they are gave you.

Your tyrant and just have faith answer.

At n So people from every part will come to

Jerusalem on the day of Atonement.

Say to see your tyrant and don't haman Haman wait.

Out, and along with them they will bring their sacrifices,

bring all their offerings to the temple as well.

Tie sounds so the hammon c and t that don't see.

There are millions of people who go.

Wear your face and fader.

Can you imagine the amount of money being exchanged inside

the temple there.

You means, so that they see. But who will call

it the text because it's straight? Wait, actually so straight.

So the Romans were very smart, no man, your face undertone.

They couldn't have the priests, so they changed the priest

occupation to become text collectors.

Hammam that they got your wants so so soederen you

know that.

In the history of the Israelites there are hundreds and

thousands of priests are being employed.

When you know is one god, this is the whole

not Harman duns holds the faith hang thought your deep

iron hamand like pay painting Turninay, it got so soederan.

But when the Romans came, their job changed.

Because down ther man light that's the Whojuanda, That is

why you know Matthew. So it's a way of Madame

Ma Tina.

He was from the house of Levi. He was also

a priest, you know.

Levi. Thatcause a highest sig.

Soon now he become a text collector.

Okay, So had you been taking so sowen the.

Person the people that got appointed to serve him and

to serve the people. Now serve the Romans and serve

for themselves.

This year downs the whole that she sends and that

she forced it. And you and san diego for one,

go hire for.

Why why do you think Jesus was so angry when

he went into the temple, Say.

There's away some more years, a face on, face on.

Because the enemy has turned it into a den of thieves.

When the dinner guide.

Let me come back here? Yeah, okay, so these people

have no problem. And these Jewish people they got exemption.

Now that you're tiring, how many she paid me intu?

They don't have to do it?

Tw many push she think by takasak and.

Now we have a new kid. You're sing okay, And

this one is a big nobody expected to come out.

Like she she died out mile and like you cannot eat?

Why's it?

You see? They are neither the Romans or the Greek

to worship all these different cards.

How many years? Like she think sea lies.

But they also are not exactly Jewish because they believe

in Jesus, which you was rejected.

Now in when talman this is dido woman Taman year

Taman year your tyrant Haman chancing years to in way

your tyrant, not harman uh piety.

Yes, and they definitely don't recognize Caesar as king and

Lord tim turn kaas.

Sin.

So I need you to walk a bit to the

right there. So the Christians at that time were totally

cut off from the people.

So it downs to the whole woman and Hamman's the Bakers.

And not and not only they were cut of all

these people hated the Christians, but.

Their taman babe heiti hi your bakers, why not woman?

Because they all the all their belief systems is contrary

to the Romans, the Greeks, contrary to what the Jews

are and also even against the king as well.

In when not Hamas for und thing for you? That's

the sing young sing those soil.

Fantast so much so that they were living in poverty.

Timana in Tamana sma pink time.

And so the Christians are. They were living so scared

they don't know even who to trust when they were

walking in the city.

Not Hammad like city, jump the door Taman.

Ham So imagine if I come to the Christian here

and she is not sure to trust me or not.

So in a downward she told me, and.

I could be a spy for any one of them.

Okay, it's I ran her itching d So.

If you, if you were a Christian at that time,

how would you not to trust me or not? Whether

I believe in the same faith or not?

Now, how do you do it?

You want to know how they do it hammada man

to man, and we want to learn how they do it.

I'm sure after this you're gonna have a lot of fun.

This act.

What they will do is basically, you will walk near

to me, look at me. Can you cannot look at me?

We have to pretend we don't know each other. Man,

And then you will use your feet to draw a

curve on the sand, eager chin, and then I will

walk and then you're done, and then I will walk over.

I'm a stranger, and I'll walk over. If I look

at it, if I recognize it, I will use my

feet and I will draw another curve on the sand. Right.

Hold now your hat like she like you're hotly white?

Can you put up the slide? This is what it

would look like.

Like a young mount.

So you will draw the first curve and then I'll come,

I will draw the second curve, just the type of

eager heart. So basically they we're talking in science.

Hamma, ju said, take a uh.

In sciences.

Secret you Hamman, you gotta tell you be able to like,

she goes.

Okay, so this actually doesn't mean when you see the

time a lot time we were Jesus breaking feed the

five thousand with the fishure. Sorry, it's not that I

can I.

Oh, yes, so like young you lie she oping? Oh yeah, man,

she waved for her daughter. It's not.

Ye. It actually means Jesus Christ is the Son of

God and savior. No, just the type, yes woman, So

every time we drew it, we remember those who were prosecuted.

It's hard as the whole. No, man, you're Genian to

see a babee porter. Okay, let's give them my hand

and thanks and actually donswer goody salmon.

Oh my goodness. That was just the introduction. Man, next time,

next hour, Okay, the next time, I will teach you more.

Are you guys having fun? Now? That just so much,

so many things I want to teach you guys. Man, say,

hold on, don't see when you go into details, you

realize that, Wow, this is real dan.

She cheered out to your city that she can't that

she ain't doing you fast. Wow. Tambos turns to that.

Now in verse ten, it says, here, do not fear

any of those things which you are about to suffer. Indeed,

the devil is about to throw some of you into prison,

that you may be tested and you will have tribulation

ten days, be faithful until death, and I'll give you

the crown of life.

Yo, U show they don't basically by don't sing well,

you nation mean the gand Mian.

Okay, Now it says there ten days, that doesn't mean

ten literal days.

That's just.

Because it's a Greek translation.

See that a fan email.

But to consistently apply it actually means ten caesars.

Just that loco manal like she can baiting that sugar

kaiser so you can trace.

The different king, the different caeesars that will rule, and

then it will reach Ontil the Constantine Nan.

You can cut down the toms sugar Kai a low

model one quietly.

It's actually quite accurating doing so, what do we learn

from this passage? Here? No god like she straight out

that Christians will experience persecution.

Ju to woman whoit, baby poor.

That is why Jesus introduces himself as the first and

the last who was dead and came to life.

Now just a way many years we are like she

so seeing the more holders hold hold, then that she

be out. That doesn't you see?

The key to overcoming persecution is to not look at

the present time, but to look at him who overcomes

the present.

No, young like she soon got to the beep guanti

j she swung it thinging you like you cannot eat

hop you Our.

Hope is not in this like a hope in is

the future lifetime, the eternal life that we have.

You see, was true that seeing that alement your young.

She died, and our hope is certain and hope is

short because Jesus is a life in front of us.

Panan, that when ye dun, and that means.

It's a very different kind of hope. You know.

Just take your face, young Panuan.

It's like sometimes it's not like I hope tomorrow will rain,

you know, put it down, so what I meant, But

when someone is alive and it is the evidence of

that hopper, you can rest a short from it.

Turns her light that duns and that he means I

need you to sit down now and you'll see you one.

Now, how much time do I have left? About ten

minutes or twenty minutes? Twenty minutes really or I go okay?

Now the second part I wanted to take a one

is about how the Christians what what what is the

journey they will encounter uh in the towards the end

of days? Now, see I did, young people, and I

want to and I know that this is this is

a very important thing. This in my heart. I want

to share because so that you guys will be prepared

to know what will you encounter as.

Christians likeway like she sit down, you set too, women

then go that she also eat bad.

Now there is Let's read this verse verse John chapter fifteen,

verse eighteen to nineteen. You have for it, says, let

me reverse. If the world hates you, you know that

it hated me before it hated you. If you were

of the world, the world would love its own. Yet,

because you are not of the world, but I chose

you out of the world. Therefore the world hates you.

You have for Indie about Shirren Lord wrote, honey money man,

that honey money jing Hanwoldman City b speed, I sho

that inieman push city and nice sil war honeyman. Sure

it's city to your honeyman.

The interesting thing is when you think about the endser

the reason that people will hate us a will be

very I would say, it would be not what you.

Think noway, dumb woman like that took a city of

more yea Bingham recalled woman. How much you need to

support the woman.

We will be looked like as the bad guys, and

they will be the good guys.

Woman based and continduce us on hiring young talmon juice.

There.

We will be looked like it's really as the villains.

You know you don't being tired.

You want to know why turn to the next night.

We will be hated. Christians will be hated on my

way baits and hunt. We people would be very suspicious

of us.

Your Hawaii.

By the way, it has happened before, Just like how

I introduce to you that now well woman like she

a fun fact that we are the troublemakers, like like

that game mathunder this year there's an earthquake where there's

a drought and any war problem that will blame the Christians.

So sign you'll run her see.

You dieline man fund because we will not cooperate with

what they want to do.

Even woman.

Like she hed, the world will have their own systems

your ham the sea tong and they will believe that

they are really right Haman faith, and we will be

the villain like a hirant. They will think that we

are a religion and a belief system that is extremely

exclusive tamaning.

So just a woman, babe, Tyrant.

That you how can you say that Jesus is the

only way?

Yes?

How about other religions, Tyrann? Now you know saying that

you're the only way makes you sound like you are

exclusive and a bigger.

Man. Yes way either down as there are fair pian.

Very good, good job between a very good jobs. Okay,

yeahs give you a hand man, She's doing a fantastic job.

Very good. Lord. What I'm giving you as actually quite

technical in you its a very good, very good Okay.

It's like people will say, like, hey, all gods and

not all believes don't lead to the same uh God,

so each either as long as I do well and

I mean well, I'll go to heaven.

So yeah, no, that's wholeness you're seeing, Sanna, Your how

and you create a man.

If you if God does not recognize that, then he

is not a god that I want to worship.

No real words. Sena has a boat like sheets and

reinwads sing Sana does sing don't know.

Think so these people will believe that their intentions and

their heart is their God.

That so Hammon sing Jesu Haimon.

This let me ask you this question went he many.

When you go to an airport, doesn't mean all the

planes go to the same place.

The whole services fady the way she to defund.

So open your eyes.

Now.

I want to because of time, because I I want

to cover one very important thing before I close this part.

When I lie, she.

It's very important that towards the end that we open

our eyes and not be deceived by the world.

Dumb woman like that and more then faced shung like

she that she done? Like how how does.

That? I want to use one particular example in this

world right now to show you the difference.

Well, you're like she seeing so fastened the city that

issue with one eye.

Take a city like she gave me? Can't you take

being known eager eating thing like she can't die?

Citing they will look like they are the good people

and they really want your benefit and for your prosperity.

City in a county line. So you can't have that thing.

iron take one of course, will say it's my body.

I decide for myself.

Die woman record you're busy and kaidi and that she

can't what a certain ti okay that she did the er.

But you, as a believer, you now open your eyes.

You don't look at the world. You don't look at yourself.

You look at what CHRISTI has.

Done MANSTRONGI and dark height as a whole Oman boy,

she can't and that you can't see the way.

Of instead of my body. Jesus says, this is my body,

not for me, but given to you.

That's certain, So that a cerenty. It's gainy that.

Every time you take communion the body Jesus gave to.

You mats so certain time that's the whold just the years,

so gainy, that's a certainty.

His perfect sinless body was broken, so that you were

broken can be made whole.

Has a centis one mate's certain in her life she

baid on my life. She so sound how Roman creators

are one shin see when you just focus on your

body your rights? Are you sound right? Isn't it so

like she's trying to die. There's a hole. Do you

think she like cut?

But God has to come down to put aside the

good that the world gives and to give open our

eyes to what is godly.

Cosner ser like that Roman, godd camel and thing that

she funds. Take a city, Gaoman and she trying to

do it. Certain gay woman the heart.

We are in the world, but not of these world people.

Woman says, So that's true that.

Christ has opened our eyes, that we are no longer

like the world, completely different people.

Take a woman like she thean it talks.

About in the world abortion and the world's gender will be.

My body is mine. I have the right to control it.

The water I wore like she came.

But Christ gave his body selflessly for others, even to sinners.

Cousoner t donor that had a certain tea just a male,

just like I had a certy that she gave a

soy and power.

The baby not even borning. But you're already deciding this

is mine.

Really, Casunega to him trust in a.

Water, but knowing who you are and the type of

sin that you commit, the type of rebellion lies and shed,

God still gave.

His body concern.

Me.

It's here for me. You got to it concern.

The use of the body. Okay, the world, I told

you ninety five percent of the reason why they're about

is because of the inconvenience socially and economically for the future.

Your basnerant, she said, Hamandel like she thought Tina said

that she beat me, and so let's say pro fund thing.

It's about. Why we are about it is because we

want to avoid the burden of inconvenience by terminity those

not yet born.

Like she thought she be in high school. The other

is here bo be out the man and how around

woman just said I written in mas a fan bil

sold out that whole core.

And then you want the government, you want everyone to

side with you.

Soil that does it turn for us that your life

the night night being so.

That you can remove the inconvenience, but you also can

remove the guilt.

Howronding Okay like she uh Chinese, don't take a a

math finals foe down the aka the show like she's true.

But instead Christ, instead of avoiding, Christ bore the burden

of our sin, not his saying our sin and suffering

for humanity.

Cousinity, do not have the tat, but has the peace

and soil. That's just math and sorry that's so. That's

that as a woman run the trait she wait radmant season.

You see when you have a child, your life is

no longer your own term hight, All my dreams and

everything has to put on hold a change.

So the world offers you a way to maintain what

you want and what you desire, even though you deserve

something else.

Concern the city and are gaining that you need?

So yo.

The couser season, Uh, indice, that's the whole.

Prioritize personal autonomy, your choices over the life of the unborn.

Yeah, like she Thomas City and Gant. You said that

But Christ sacrificed his life even before they believed.

Hi eating weight seasoned.

It's not even born, not even you believe Christ ready

tied for you. You know.

She's years to do it.

Roman. You took on your body so that you can

have a future.

How a woman your ego function.

You see her when we look in the world with

just one.

Iron can't down man like she easy and that she

can't die.

We will always settle for the good, you know how

just a gentleman to look and in the world's I

you know that they think that are the good people.

Hamas to do it.

They sincerely believe that turns into actually understand because they're

blind well hung just you mean by it just a harmmon.

But when Christ comes into our lives.

Because down years to do, woman means help.

He becomes the light of our our lives, you know,

and now our other eyes open and you look at

the same thing that the world offers.

Down can't die get you either just start to step.

Back like, oh don't see what the world says and

what Jesus has done on the cross completely different.

Very fast, see you either ing that's one put on

the equation.

The key to solving abortion is not with the world.

Now take that she take a door tightler want he

puts put.

The key to all our economy, our all our world

problems is Jesus.

Well, my young the soil doesn't see it. One that

is the true die. Yes, So when you talk about

the issue of abortion, So you donally can't out take

door tighter.

It comes down to do you believe in Jesus just

the type of yes, and what he did on the

cross hiatt so everything that who he is and what

he did should change your entire world.

In wain die yes, the Medians certain higher targe seeing

in guy's a guy woman.

That mean how many Christians are we listening right now?

They actually support abortion? Right now?

Your doors are to you like she did, She teach

door tied.

Because they will come a point in time you will

think that you are so right, but yet so wrong.

Concertainly, hey, my mama, money fastened out, nature doesn't sting

because a faith toward older.

You see, we want so much self righteousness before God.

They will even take the world's self righteousness and come

be forgot. You're like she Cantien City, the Gorkanty and

years to know. The way we tackle the world is

by submitting to God.

Want she.

Submit submit to God because of what he has done.

That she an inter taskles to them our eyes and

our hearts be open to see, to see the world

as it is.

Her sing okay that she can't thirty thouty fasten.

As I prayed it. When you see this truth will

hold you firm, step fast in persecution.

Sitting the scene. God, you the ten suit.
