00:00:00.000 In less than a year, our podcast has gone from an average of 10,000 downloads a month
00:00:04.300 to 50,000 downloads. What made the difference? You leaving us a five-star review. The more
00:00:10.260 positive reviews, the more the algorithm picks us up, and more people are confronted by the law
00:00:16.360 and gospel of Jesus Christ. Help us press forward the crown rights of King Jesus by leaving us a
00:00:23.480 five-star review on your favorite podcast platform thanks the person and work of jesus have you ever
00:00:30.620 heard that phrase trusting in the person and work of jesus this is what that phrase means in its
00:00:36.040 simplicity all right because there's a lot of things that get thrown around platitudes and
00:00:40.000 sometimes you know we'll go 50 years without something being defined and everybody's doing
00:00:44.840 the what but they've forgotten the why and then all of a sudden the church begins to slide and
00:00:49.340 compromise because we stopped teaching the why. And we get mad about the laser lights and the
00:00:55.200 smoke machines, you know, in Sunday worship. But pastors a long time ago, long before the smoke
00:01:00.960 machines made their way into the Sunday service, pastors were going through the liturgy, but not
00:01:05.260 explaining to the congregants why they did so. And their children forgot and their children began to
00:01:11.420 reject. They began to kick against the goats and they thought they were doing it even in a passion
00:01:17.200 and zeal for christ because it just seemed like the traditions of men because the traditions had
00:01:22.860 no longer been explained so what's the person and work of jesus christ in simplicity the person
00:01:30.080 speaks to the fact that he is the god man so when we say trusting in the person work of jesus
00:01:34.780 we're saying we trust that jesus is fully god fully man we're speaking of the incarnation
00:01:39.820 we're speaking of his deity and his humanity we're speaking that he is eternal that he's
00:01:45.480 eternally begotten, not made. Jesus is not the first among creatures, but he is the creator
00:01:52.520 who is to be forever praised. Amen. That for him and by him and through him, all things that have
00:01:58.440 been made were made. And in him, all things that have been made are being held together.
00:02:04.660 Hebrews 1 says this. Colossians says this. Jesus is God, creator God, eternal God,
00:02:12.380 second member of the godhead but he is also man not partially man but fully man
00:02:20.460 so that he is able to represent man in his godness he could pay the infinite penalty
00:02:30.360 of the sins of his people in his manness he is able to accurately represent people
00:02:38.800 fully god and fully man and he is forever the god man still in now the glorified human flesh
00:02:48.480 at the right hand of the father resurrected not just revived but truly resurrected and glorified
00:02:55.740 as a first fruits of what all those who trust in him will one day receive the glorification and
00:03:03.080 resurrection of our own bodies these bodies not new bodies meaning another body but new bodies
00:03:10.460 meaning this body made new and i believe the same doctrinally for this earth for that matter
00:03:17.140 not annihilated disintegrated and burned up in a literal sense but this world made new
00:03:25.400 that all creation cries out with groans and eager expectations for the sons of god to be revealed
00:03:32.780 for in their restoration the cosmos will be restored as well that the creation is not crying
00:03:38.920 out with eager groans and expectations for a mercy killing to be taken out back behind the
00:03:44.600 woodshed and put down by God so that the sons of God can now replace the creation but rather
00:03:50.240 as the sons of God are restored and renewed so too mountains and rivers and trees will be renewed
00:03:56.780 as well. That we will live in heaven with God, but one day at the final culmination of human history
00:04:05.560 that the new heavens will come to this earth made new, and that we will see things that are
00:04:12.480 strikingly familiar to us, but now glorify. I know that mountain range, but it never looked
00:04:21.180 like that. Now I see it in its true majesty. I know this river. I used to fish in it when I was
00:04:28.100 a kid. Now look at it. Jesus is the God-man, the person of Jesus. His work, life, sinless,
00:04:43.980 and not only an absence of sin, but a presence and fulfillment of all righteousness.
00:04:49.140 not only avoiding sin but obeying all the commandments of god his father this is what
00:04:57.980 jesus says to john the baptist when john says i can't baptize you i'm not worthy and jesus says
00:05:03.980 you must to fulfill all righteousness it is not only jesus passive obedience his willingness to
00:05:12.200 die as a substitute on the cross for you and die but also his active obedience as john owen and
00:05:18.200 the reformers would argue that he actively obeyed and fulfilled all the commandments of god in his
00:05:23.940 life not only was his death obedience to god but he lived a life of obedience so his life
00:05:31.380 his death and his death not as a mere example of sacrificial love but his life as payment
00:05:39.280 atonement propitiation as penal substitutionary atonement he died as the lamb of god who takes
00:05:46.740 away the sin of the world he died in our place his resurrection not as a mere metaphor speaking
00:05:54.160 to the power and the triumph of the human spirit but his literal bodily resurrection from the dead
00:06:01.020 and his ascension in glory and majesty and power and authority that he is raised before people's
00:06:10.800 very eyes and then hidden behind the clouds as he enters into heaven to be seated to sit down
00:06:17.840 at his father's right hand and right before he does this he says all authority not just in the
00:06:24.380 17th dimension but on earth and in heaven has been given to me so you will go in obedience to my
00:06:32.120 commands making disciples and you will be successful and you will disciple nations
00:06:37.480 and in discipling them you will not only preach the gospel for conversion and their baptism but
00:06:43.500 then you will teach them theonomy to obey all my commands and this is not separate but included in
00:06:52.040 the great commission this is the work of jesus and the work which he still does that he intercedes
00:06:59.620 on our behalf is praying for his own and promises one day to finally and physically return
00:07:07.320 the person and work of jesus who he is the god man what he's done life death resurrection
00:07:14.760 ascension and promise return this is the person and work of jesus this is the truth test do you
00:07:21.160 believe the truth in these issues you can be wrong about other things we should strive to
00:07:27.320 be right in all things to believe the sufficiency of scripture in all things
00:07:32.260 We'll be right back.
