00:06:22.000 | -Well, I can't imagine a more fitting introduction to the

00:06:26.000 | 2025 Shepherds Conference than to have a choir loft filled

00:06:30.000 | with the future teachers and preachers of God's word, singing to a

00:06:34.000 | worship center filled with the present teachers and preachers of God's word,

00:06:38.000 | and all of the thousands of men who are on this campus to lift

00:06:42.000 | high the cross. We're so glad, and of course that's reminiscent of

00:06:46.000 | what the Lord Jesus said in John 12 when he said, "And I, if I

00:06:50.000 | am lifted up from the earth, I will draw all men

00:06:54.000 | to myself." And so how fitting that is for that truth to be

00:06:58.000 | at the forefront of the theme of all that we're going to do here at Shepherds Conference,

00:07:02.000 | proclaiming this Christ to the ends of the earth. The Lord

00:07:06.000 | commanded his followers to go into all the world to make disciples

00:07:10.000 | of every nation, and the fulfillment of this great commission that

00:07:14.000 | draws us here today remains the chief priority for all of God's people.

00:07:18.000 | Our greatest motivation is the glory of Christ. Our highest

00:07:22.000 | confidence is knowing that God has chosen to save sinners

00:07:26.000 | from every tribe, tongue, nation, and people. And our

00:07:30.000 | certain hope is that the multitude of the redeemed will one day

00:07:34.000 | be gathered around the throne of heaven to reverberate

00:07:38.000 | with ceaseless praise before the glorious Lamb. So with all

00:07:42.000 | of that, we just want to welcome you to this Shepherds Conference, all

00:07:46.000 | 5,000 of you dispersed all throughout this campus

00:07:50.000 | for this corporate time of worship and praise and encouragement

00:07:54.000 | and strengthening. We have all 50 states represented,

00:07:58.000 | plus Guam. We have men from 70 countries

00:08:02.000 | here this morning. We have 700 -- yes.

00:08:06.000 | Yes. [Applause]

00:08:10.000 | We have 700 internationals with us,

00:08:14.000 | and 1,000 of you are here for the very first time. So if this is

00:08:18.000 | the first time you've been a guest at Shepherds Conference, would you stand so we can see where you are?

00:08:22.000 | First time, yes. Wow. Wow. [Applause]

00:08:26.000 | [Applause]

00:08:30.000 | [Applause]

00:08:34.000 | Welcome. This morning we have -- and we're going to begin our conference with Dr. Abner Chow,

00:08:38.000 | the president of the Master's University and Seminary. He's an elder at Grace

00:08:42.000 | Community Church, the head translator for both the Old Testament and New Testament

00:08:46.000 | for the Legacy Standard Bible. And most importantly, he is

00:08:50.000 | a preacher of the Word of God. But before he comes, we have

00:08:54.000 | more to enjoy from the Master's Seminary Choir and even a moment for us all

00:08:58.000 | to join together in song. So let's open our time in prayer

00:09:02.000 | and ask the Lord's blessing upon all we're about to do.

00:09:06.000 | Almighty God, we have received our marching orders from above

00:09:10.000 | to proclaim your Son to the ends of the earth, to stand together

00:09:14.000 | as a willing band of brothers, to be linked with one

00:09:18.000 | purpose, with one resolve, focused on one mission,

00:09:22.000 | to spend our lives pointing to the Lamb of God,

00:09:26.000 | to allow His excellence and grace to flow from our lips forever,

00:09:30.000 | to bring to bear upon this fallen world the truth that

00:09:34.000 | sin can be forgiven, that hope can be renewed,

00:09:38.000 | that souls can be reborn if only they would look to the Cross

00:09:42.000 | and bow their hearts before the Champion of Heaven.

00:09:46.000 | There's no higher calling on earth than this. There's no higher mandate

00:09:50.000 | than the one we have received from you. So help us, dear God,

00:09:54.000 | to drink deeply from the well of your Word that our time together

00:09:58.000 | might be a refreshment to your men from the fount of every

00:10:02.000 | blessing. May we be granted the boldness to guard the treasure that's been

00:10:06.000 | entrusted to us, and may we be filled with the greatest of joy

00:10:10.000 | so that one day we too might join with all who have

00:10:14.000 | come before us and crown your Son with many crowns that

00:10:18.000 | He alone deserves. Bless our week together, we pray, in the

00:10:22.000 | matchless name of Christ, amen.

00:17:50.000 | In fact, some of you here right now are experiencing

00:17:54.000 | fiery trials. May God give us all the

00:17:58.000 | grace to honor Christ regardless of our circumstances and to

00:43:42.000 | It is not emblazoned in their heart forever.

00:43:46.000 | But there is one name.

00:43:48.000 | There is one name that is etched

00:43:50.000 | in everyone's heart forever.

00:43:52.000 | Friend or Foe.

00:43:54.000 | And it is the one name that makes

00:43:56.000 | all friend or foe tremble forever.

00:43:59.000 | And that is the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

00:44:03.000 | That is what the Father does for His Son.

00:44:06.000 | And that kind of endorsement,

00:44:08.000 | so fervent in the womb and with destiny

00:44:10.000 | to this very end, is unparalleled.

00:44:12.000 | No one has endorsement like the Lord Jesus Christ.

00:44:16.000 | His redemption is absolutely exceptional.

00:44:20.000 | And it's not just that it is endorsed by God.

00:44:23.000 | It is effective.

00:44:24.000 | Look at verse 2.

00:44:26.000 | Christ is unstoppable.

00:44:28.000 | He overcomes everything.

00:44:30.000 | As it says in the text,

00:44:32.000 | He has set my mouth like a sharp sword.

00:44:34.000 | He can slice through everything,

00:44:36.000 | overcoming and having victory over all.

00:44:38.000 | And He cannot be overcome.

00:44:40.000 | In the shadow of His hands,

00:44:42.000 | He has concealed me.

00:44:44.000 | God protects His Son.

00:44:46.000 | He is invulnerable.

00:44:48.000 | And so He can overcome everything

00:44:50.000 | and never be threatened at all.

00:44:52.000 | But on top of that,

00:44:54.000 | Christ is God's secret weapon.

00:44:56.000 | His select or choice arrow.

00:44:58.000 | Christ is the secret weapon of God.

00:45:01.000 | Who does the most damage.

00:45:03.000 | Who wins the battle.

00:45:05.000 | Who you use at the prime moment.

00:45:07.000 | And to that very end,

00:45:09.000 | as the last phrase says,

00:45:11.000 | He has hidden me in His quiver.

00:45:13.000 | Christ is the one who is reserved.

00:45:15.000 | This is Galatians 4.

00:45:17.000 | For the fullness of time.

00:45:19.000 | So that the fullness of effect would happen.

00:45:21.000 | You could think of it this way.

00:45:23.000 | When Christ came into this world in His first advent,

00:45:25.000 | it was one way.

00:45:27.000 | And when He left, it was different.

00:45:29.000 | That is the effectiveness of the Lord Jesus Christ.

00:45:31.000 | He is God's secret weapon.

00:45:33.000 | The one who changes the tides of history.

00:45:35.000 | The one who turns the tides of the war.

00:45:37.000 | The one who sets the trajectory

00:45:39.000 | of the plan of God.

00:45:41.000 | That is the effectiveness of Christ.

00:45:43.000 | But it's not just that He's endorsed.

00:45:45.000 | It's not just that He's effective.

00:45:47.000 | It's that He's exalted.

00:45:49.000 | Verse 3. Exalted.

00:45:51.000 | He said to me,

00:45:53.000 | "Behold, I am the Lord of Israel,

00:45:55.000 | "in whom I will show forth my beautiful glory."

00:45:57.000 | There is a term for glory

00:45:59.000 | that refers to God's weightiness.

00:46:01.000 | The totality of His essence.

00:46:03.000 | That overpowers and overwhelms all.

00:46:05.000 | But this term refers

00:46:07.000 | to the glory

00:46:09.000 | and the majestic nature

00:46:11.000 | of His glory.

00:46:13.000 | Think of it this way.

00:46:15.000 | We can be in awe of the power of God.

00:46:17.000 | But here is something amazing to think about.

00:46:19.000 | We should also be in awe

00:46:21.000 | of the beauty of God.

00:46:23.000 | That He makes things

00:46:25.000 | that are ugly and twisted

00:46:27.000 | and perverted and seemingly

00:46:29.000 | unsolvable.

00:46:31.000 | He makes them beautiful.

00:46:33.000 | That's the wonder

00:46:35.000 | of His redemption.

00:46:37.000 | That's the beauty of His salvation.

00:46:39.000 | But it's not just that

00:46:41.000 | the Messiah and His work of redemption

00:46:43.000 | is endorsed or effective

00:46:45.000 | or exalted.

00:46:47.000 | It is also this.

00:46:49.000 | That it required much exertion.

00:46:51.000 | Verse four, "But I said,

00:46:53.000 | 'I have toiled in vain. I have spent

00:46:55.000 | my might for nothing in vanity.

00:46:57.000 | Yet surely the justice due to me

00:46:59.000 | is with Yahweh, and my

00:47:01.000 | reward with my

00:47:03.000 | God.'"

00:47:05.000 | Jesus labored in His

00:47:07.000 | humanity to the

00:47:09.000 | point where

00:47:11.000 | it seemed to ask the

00:47:13.000 | question, "Is this even worth

00:47:15.000 | it? Is this even worth it?

00:47:17.000 | What is the point of all

00:47:19.000 | this?" He

00:47:21.000 | exerted everything on

00:47:23.000 | our behalf.

00:47:25.000 | And if He

00:47:27.000 | exerted everything, if He gave His

00:47:29.000 | all, and He is the God

00:47:31.000 | man as we know,

00:47:33.000 | then salvation must

00:47:35.000 | be amazing.

00:47:37.000 | Because it required all

00:47:39.000 | that He is.

00:47:41.000 | And so here's the question.

00:47:43.000 | What do you give to someone

00:47:45.000 | who is so exceptional?

00:47:47.000 | What do you give to someone who is so

00:47:49.000 | exhaustive? What do you give to someone

00:47:51.000 | who is the end of all things? What do you give

00:47:53.000 | to His work that is so endorsed,

00:47:55.000 | so effective,

00:47:57.000 | so exalted, and required

00:47:59.000 | so much exertion?

00:48:01.000 | Here's what you do. Nothing

00:48:03.000 | short of the ends of

00:48:05.000 | the earth. Verse six,

00:48:07.000 | He says, "It is too small

00:48:09.000 | a thing for God."

00:48:11.000 | He knew. He knew

00:48:13.000 | that to give

00:48:15.000 | the Messiah, just the nation of Israel,

00:48:17.000 | just a few peoples or nations

00:48:19.000 | even, that would not do justice

00:48:21.000 | to who His Son is and what

00:48:23.000 | He accomplished. That would not match

00:48:25.000 | the value and the weightiness

00:48:27.000 | of all that He exerted and all

00:48:29.000 | the effect that He had. And so He says

00:48:31.000 | this, "I will give you as a light

00:48:33.000 | of the nations so that my

00:48:35.000 | salvation may reach to the ends

00:48:37.000 | of the earth."

00:48:39.000 | At this moment, now you

00:48:41.000 | understand. Now you understand

00:48:43.000 | why God

00:48:45.000 | wants the gospel to go to the

00:48:47.000 | ends of the earth. God's

00:48:49.000 | reason, God's motivation

00:48:51.000 | is because of the worthiness

00:48:53.000 | of the Lord Jesus Christ.

00:48:55.000 | That's why He wants the gospel

00:48:57.000 | to the ends of the earth. And that clarifies

00:48:59.000 | everything. The nature

00:49:01.000 | of mission, although

00:49:03.000 | we of course want souls to be

00:49:05.000 | saved, amen, but fundamentally

00:49:07.000 | it is about showcasing the

00:49:09.000 | Son of God. That is God's agenda

00:49:11.000 | in all of this. And because of

00:49:13.000 | this, the motivation for mission

00:49:15.000 | has to be fundamentally

00:49:17.000 | the glory and the worthiness

00:49:19.000 | of Christ.

00:49:21.000 | Our people do not need

00:49:23.000 | cheap tricks.

00:49:25.000 | They need Christ.

00:49:27.000 | Give them Christ in His

00:49:29.000 | exceptionalness. Make them convinced

00:49:31.000 | that there is no one,

00:49:33.000 | no one in this world, in all history

00:49:35.000 | past, in all history future, that could

00:49:37.000 | ever match the Lord Jesus. Give

00:49:39.000 | them Christ in His exhaustiveness.

00:49:41.000 | Make our people

00:49:43.000 | understand that all history

00:49:45.000 | and all theology is

00:49:47.000 | predicated upon His shoulders.

00:49:49.000 | He is the decisive hero of heroes.

00:49:51.000 | Give them Christ that He is the

00:49:53.000 | end of all things. All things will

00:49:55.000 | be around Him. All things will be focused

00:49:57.000 | upon Him and therefore He must be

00:49:59.000 | the focus now. Give them Christ

00:50:01.000 | in His endorsement by God

00:50:03.000 | because He is God Himself.

00:50:05.000 | Give them Christ in His

00:50:07.000 | effectiveness. Make them understand

00:50:09.000 | that He is the secret weapon of God,

00:50:11.000 | the one who turns the tides of everything,

00:50:13.000 | the hinge and the lynchpin of

00:50:15.000 | all redemptive history. Give them

00:50:17.000 | Christ in His exaltedness

00:50:19.000 | that He is not only powerful but

00:50:21.000 | beautiful and makes all things beautiful.

00:50:23.000 | Give them Christ in His

00:50:25.000 | exertion for us. Crush our

00:50:27.000 | people with the reality that He was crushed

00:50:29.000 | for us. Give them

00:50:31.000 | Christ until they can no

00:50:33.000 | longer contain themselves and

00:50:35.000 | they are so captured and all

00:50:37.000 | of their affections are bound to Him

00:50:39.000 | that they say, "Give me

00:50:41.000 | this world or I die."

00:50:43.000 | That is what we

00:50:45.000 | need. Give them

00:50:47.000 | Christ.

00:50:49.000 | [applause]

00:50:51.000 | [applause]

00:50:53.000 | Our people don't need

00:50:55.000 | cheap tricks.

00:50:57.000 | They don't need to be manipulated.

00:50:59.000 | They need Christ

00:51:01.000 | and when they

00:51:03.000 | have Him, and when

00:51:05.000 | they behold Him, and

00:51:07.000 | when they are captured by Him,

00:51:09.000 | they will go.

00:51:11.000 | They will go because

00:51:13.000 | they cannot stop from going.

00:51:15.000 | And that is what the apostles

00:51:17.000 | understood when

00:51:19.000 | they heard the phrase

00:51:21.000 | "to the ends of the earth."

00:51:23.000 | They knew the greatness of the redemption that

00:51:25.000 | their Lord had just procured.

00:51:27.000 | They knew how effective it was.

00:51:29.000 | They knew how exalted it was.

00:51:31.000 | They knew how endorsed it was,

00:51:33.000 | and therefore they knew they had

00:51:35.000 | to go. They understood

00:51:37.000 | they had to go.

00:51:39.000 | Why do we go?

00:51:41.000 | Because of the greatness of His

00:51:43.000 | redemption.

00:51:45.000 | Well, we don't just go because of the greatness

00:51:47.000 | of His redemption.

00:51:49.000 | Second of all, we go because of the

00:51:51.000 | greatness of His reign.

00:51:53.000 | We go because of the greatness of His reign.

00:51:55.000 | Turn with me to Psalm 72.

00:51:57.000 | Psalm 72.

00:51:59.000 | Verse 8 of Psalm

00:52:03.000 | 72, it says this,

00:52:05.000 | "May He also have dominion from sea

00:52:07.000 | to sea, and from the

00:52:09.000 | river," and here's the key phrase,

00:52:11.000 | "to the ends

00:52:13.000 | of the

00:52:15.000 | earth." We hear the

00:52:17.000 | phrase again.

00:52:19.000 | In Psalm 72, in context, it is the

00:52:21.000 | climax of all of David's prayers,

00:52:23.000 | and it is what Solomon had

00:52:25.000 | recorded down as they

00:52:27.000 | contemplate, "What is it going to take?

00:52:29.000 | What is it going to take to fulfill

00:52:31.000 | the role of a Davidic king? What is it going

00:52:33.000 | to look like when the Messiah

00:52:35.000 | reigns ultimately?"

00:52:37.000 | And Psalm 72 gives us that picture.

00:52:39.000 | It tells us in verse

00:52:41.000 | 1 that the Messiah will have a faithful

00:52:43.000 | reign. It says this,

00:52:45.000 | "O God, give the king your judgments

00:52:47.000 | and your righteousness to the king's

00:52:49.000 | son."

00:52:51.000 | In this wicked world, in this

00:52:53.000 | fallen place, we

00:52:55.000 | often have to settle

00:52:57.000 | for a modicum

00:52:59.000 | of justice, for a modicum

00:53:01.000 | of righteousness in our political

00:53:03.000 | system, and we're so thankful to the Lord

00:53:05.000 | if justice and righteousness

00:53:07.000 | are at least preserved to

00:53:09.000 | a small degree.

00:53:11.000 | But there will be a day,

00:53:13.000 | there will be a day, when

00:53:15.000 | we never have to settle for less.

00:53:17.000 | There will be a day when

00:53:19.000 | the complete divine justice

00:53:21.000 | and the complete divine

00:53:23.000 | righteousness of God will reign

00:53:25.000 | unhindered and in fullness.

00:53:27.000 | That is the faithful reign of the Lord

00:53:29.000 | Jesus Christ.

00:53:31.000 | And it's not just that. Look at verse 2,

00:53:33.000 | "May he render judgment to your people

00:53:35.000 | with righteousness, and you're afflicted with

00:53:37.000 | justice." So often in this life,

00:53:39.000 | even though the movies say the good guys always

00:53:41.000 | win, we know the good guys

00:53:43.000 | don't really win a lot.

00:53:45.000 | The bad guys always have the

00:53:47.000 | upper hand. But there will be

00:53:49.000 | a day when the good guys

00:53:51.000 | always win. When

00:53:53.000 | good will always triumph over evil

00:53:55.000 | in the end. And that is the faithful

00:53:57.000 | reign of the Lord Jesus Christ.

00:53:59.000 | Christ does not just have a faithful

00:54:01.000 | reign. He has a fruitful reign.

00:54:03.000 | Verse 3, "Let the mountains

00:54:05.000 | lift up peace to the people,

00:54:07.000 | and the hills in righteousness."

00:54:09.000 | Christ's

00:54:11.000 | reign is so amazing, as we heard in Isaiah.

00:54:13.000 | It not only rules over

00:54:15.000 | nations, it transforms creation.

00:54:17.000 | Even the mountains, even the

00:54:19.000 | hills. Let me put it this way.

00:54:21.000 | You and I have never seen

00:54:23.000 | this world as

00:54:25.000 | God originally intended.

00:54:27.000 | You have only seen it.

00:54:29.000 | And you might say, "I enjoy some things

00:54:31.000 | in this world. I behold the majesty

00:54:33.000 | and beauty of God in this world." True,

00:54:35.000 | but you have never seen it

00:54:37.000 | the way it was supposed to be.

00:54:39.000 | We look forward

00:54:41.000 | to the day when creation

00:54:43.000 | isn't just not so bad,

00:54:45.000 | or okay,

00:54:47.000 | or even nice.

00:54:49.000 | We look forward to the day

00:54:51.000 | when, as the text says,

00:54:53.000 | it is full of righteousness and peace.

00:54:55.000 | Where you

00:54:57.000 | see this world like you've never seen

00:54:59.000 | it before. And you've experienced

00:55:01.000 | this land like you've never experienced

00:55:03.000 | it before. That is the

00:55:05.000 | fruitful reign of the Lord

00:55:07.000 | Jesus.

00:55:09.000 | You might say, some people will say, "Well, of course,

00:55:11.000 | you can make the world a nice place, but people

00:55:13.000 | will ruin the world." Okay.

00:55:15.000 | Christ has an answer to that, verse 4.

00:55:17.000 | "May He give justice to the afflicted

00:55:19.000 | of the people, save the children

00:55:21.000 | of the needy, and crush

00:55:23.000 | the oppressor."

00:55:25.000 | God will make sure all the people of the world

00:55:27.000 | are right. If you are harmed,

00:55:29.000 | you will be satisfied. If you are needy,

00:55:31.000 | you will be filled. And if you are

00:55:33.000 | one who harms,

00:55:35.000 | you will be dealt with.

00:55:37.000 | Christ will have the most fruitful

00:55:39.000 | reign for the earth

00:55:41.000 | and its fullness.

00:55:43.000 | And it's not just a faithful reign,

00:55:45.000 | and it's not just a fruitful reign,

00:55:47.000 | it is a fearsome reign. Look at verse 5.

00:55:49.000 | "Let them fear you while the

00:55:51.000 | sun endures, and as long as the moon

00:55:53.000 | from generation to all generations."

00:55:55.000 | The world will fear

00:55:57.000 | Christ at this time.

00:55:59.000 | And it will be unceasing

00:56:01.000 | and forever.

00:56:03.000 | It will be constant.

00:56:05.000 | And lest you think

00:56:07.000 | people are just scared

00:56:09.000 | of Jesus because

00:56:11.000 | He is so wrathful,

00:56:13.000 | and the risk of punishment is so great,

00:56:15.000 | notice verse 6.

00:56:17.000 | "May He come down like rain

00:56:19.000 | upon the mown grass."

00:56:21.000 | Jesus at that time,

00:56:23.000 | He won't be fearful

00:56:25.000 | in the sense of terrorizing.

00:56:27.000 | He will be the greatest blessing.

00:56:29.000 | He'll be like the new day dawn

00:56:31.000 | and the dew of the new day.

00:56:33.000 | He'll be the most rejuvenating.

00:56:35.000 | He'll be the most healing.

00:56:37.000 | He'll be the most sustaining.

00:56:39.000 | Let me put it this way.

00:56:41.000 | We understand fear

00:56:43.000 | of people who could

00:56:45.000 | hurt us. We understand

00:56:47.000 | fear of people

00:56:49.000 | who could punish

00:56:51.000 | us.

00:56:53.000 | But there's a different category of fear.

00:56:55.000 | Being so

00:56:57.000 | fearful, being nervous,

00:56:59.000 | being in awe of one

00:57:01.000 | who is not so

00:57:03.000 | harmful, but one

00:57:05.000 | who is so good.

00:57:07.000 | And at this time,

00:57:09.000 | the world will have a fear

00:57:11.000 | they have never known before.

00:57:13.000 | A fear not

00:57:15.000 | of risk of punishment,

00:57:17.000 | a fear of one who is so good,

00:57:19.000 | like the dew on the

00:57:21.000 | new grass. That

00:57:23.000 | is the fearsome reign

00:57:25.000 | of the Lord Jesus.

00:57:27.000 | Well, it's not just a faithful

00:57:29.000 | and a fearsome and a fruitful

00:57:31.000 | reign. It is a reign of fulfillment.

00:57:33.000 | Notice verse 9. "Let the desert

00:57:35.000 | creatures kneel before him,

00:57:37.000 | and his enemies lick the dust."

00:57:39.000 | Where have we talked about

00:57:41.000 | serpents licking dust? At people's feet.

00:57:43.000 | At the one, the seed's

00:57:45.000 | feet. Genesis 3,

00:57:47.000 | 15.

00:57:49.000 | This reign will fulfill

00:57:51.000 | all the promises of God. This reign

00:57:53.000 | will overcome evil, sin,

00:57:55.000 | and death. This reign

00:57:57.000 | will fulfill all the promises

00:57:59.000 | all the way back to the very first

00:58:01.000 | promise made. And there is a

00:58:03.000 | reason for this. There is a reason

00:58:05.000 | why this reign is so fruitful and

00:58:07.000 | so faithful and so fearsome

00:58:09.000 | and fulfills all promises.

00:58:11.000 | This is the rule, according to

00:58:13.000 | David and Solomon, of the final

00:58:15.000 | Adam. This is the rule

00:58:17.000 | of the final Adam. Verse

00:58:19.000 | 8. The text that we are focusing

00:58:21.000 | on for this point. May he also

00:58:23.000 | have dominion. Key word

00:58:25.000 | right there. The word dominion

00:58:27.000 | in the Old Testament is exclusively

00:58:29.000 | and first used with the reign of

00:58:31.000 | Adam. Let him have dominion

00:58:33.000 | over this earth.

00:58:35.000 | And then from that point forward, it is

00:58:37.000 | exclusively used in

00:58:39.000 | messianic prophecy. Numbers

00:58:41.000 | 24. Balaam and his talking

00:58:43.000 | donkey. What does Balaam say?

00:58:45.000 | He says, "The one who rises

00:58:47.000 | from Jacob, the star that ascends from

00:58:49.000 | Jacob, he will have dominion."

00:58:51.000 | That is messianic.

00:58:53.000 | Psalm 110. We know that's a messianic

00:58:55.000 | prophecy. "The Lord said to my Lord,

00:58:57.000 | 'Sit at my right hand.'" That is a

00:58:59.000 | messianic prophecy, and it says in there, "Have dominion

00:59:01.000 | over your enemies."

00:59:03.000 | Here, this is a

00:59:05.000 | messianic prophecy. May he also have

00:59:07.000 | dominion. What kind of dominion?

00:59:09.000 | The dominion Adam had.

00:59:11.000 | The dominion Adam had. And how did

00:59:13.000 | Adam rule as

00:59:15.000 | Adam was commissioned? He

00:59:17.000 | ruled over the earth, and therefore

00:59:19.000 | what does the text say?

00:59:21.000 | "And from the river to the ends

00:59:23.000 | of the earth."

00:59:25.000 | Here's what Solomon

00:59:27.000 | and David understood. What it's going

00:59:29.000 | to take to fulfill the Davidic

00:59:31.000 | role, what it's going to take to fulfill

00:59:33.000 | the Davidic covenant, is one

00:59:35.000 | who has the original authority.

00:59:37.000 | The one commissioned by God.

00:59:39.000 | The prime authority. The

00:59:41.000 | ultimate authority. The one given

00:59:43.000 | to Adam himself. And the one

00:59:45.000 | who will have this authority

00:59:47.000 | must not be like Adam.

00:59:49.000 | He must fulfill everything that

00:59:51.000 | Adam was not. He is the final

00:59:53.000 | Adam. And because he is the final

00:59:55.000 | Adam, he possesses that singular,

00:59:57.000 | unique, original,

00:59:59.000 | ultimate, prime

01:00:01.000 | authority. And that authority means

01:00:03.000 | and demands, he owns

01:00:05.000 | and dictates every

01:00:07.000 | single thing to the ends

01:00:09.000 | of the earth.

01:00:11.000 | That is the sovereignty of

01:00:13.000 | the Lord.

01:00:15.000 | Why we go to the ends

01:00:19.000 | of the earth? It's simple.

01:00:21.000 | We go everywhere Christ reigns.

01:00:23.000 | We go everywhere

01:00:25.000 | Christ rules. Does he rule there?

01:00:27.000 | Yes, we are there. And we are

01:00:29.000 | declaring Christ. Does he rule over there?

01:00:31.000 | Yes, we declare Christ.

01:00:33.000 | We go everywhere

01:00:35.000 | Christ rules.

01:00:37.000 | And his authority,

01:00:39.000 | such authority that dictates

01:00:41.000 | and determines the ends of the earth,

01:00:43.000 | is what backs the very mission

01:00:45.000 | that we engage in. This is the very logic

01:00:47.000 | of Matthew 28. And to

01:00:49.000 | be clear, Jesus' statement,

01:00:51.000 | "All authority has been

01:00:53.000 | given to me," is not just

01:00:55.000 | a validation of

01:00:57.000 | missions, even though that is the case.

01:00:59.000 | That declaration is the

01:01:01.000 | ontological reality, the

01:01:03.000 | right and prerogative of Jesus,

01:01:05.000 | by who he is and what he has done,

01:01:07.000 | that all authority belongs to him.

01:01:09.000 | He is the king of this world, and

01:01:11.000 | every land to the ends of the earth

01:01:13.000 | owes him their allegiance, because

01:01:15.000 | he is the only king.

01:01:17.000 | That is the statement Jesus made in Matthew

01:01:19.000 | 28, and that is what drives

01:01:21.000 | everything. Brothers, I know

01:01:23.000 | that in ministry

01:01:25.000 | things can be hard,

01:01:27.000 | and people can be resistant,

01:01:29.000 | and we can get knocked down

01:01:31.000 | often as we labor for the

01:01:33.000 | Lord Jesus Christ. But what gets

01:01:35.000 | us back up, what

01:01:37.000 | allows us to continue forward,

01:01:39.000 | is us knowing this,

01:01:41.000 | that the detractors, they do not

01:01:43.000 | have the last say.

01:01:45.000 | They do not have the final say. And in fact,

01:01:47.000 | let's be clear, we don't have the last say.

01:01:49.000 | It's not as if we just wield

01:01:51.000 | all this power autonomously and

01:01:53.000 | can do whatever we want and take over the world. That is

01:01:55.000 | not what is going on. But we serve

01:01:57.000 | the king who does have the last say.

01:01:59.000 | And in fact, he has

01:02:01.000 | the only say. He is

01:02:03.000 | the Lord of heaven and earth,

01:02:05.000 | even to the ends of the earth.

01:02:07.000 | That's why we get back up.

01:02:09.000 | That's why we continue on.

01:02:11.000 | Because he has decided the

01:02:13.000 | battle. And not only

01:02:15.000 | does the authority, the reign

01:02:17.000 | of Christ, give us authority,

01:02:19.000 | it authorizes us to.

01:02:21.000 | Sometimes we, or perhaps our people,

01:02:23.000 | can feel, "I don't know

01:02:25.000 | if I should talk to so-and-so about it."

01:02:27.000 | It could feel a little awkward. Maybe

01:02:29.000 | they don't, maybe that's just really not the

01:02:31.000 | topic for discussion with them.

01:02:33.000 | And of course,

01:02:35.000 | we don't want to be belligerent, and we don't want to be pugnacious.

01:02:37.000 | That would go against the orders of

01:02:39.000 | our king. But we have to understand

01:02:41.000 | this. Who sets the topic

01:02:43.000 | of discussion? The king.

01:02:45.000 | He owns all

01:02:47.000 | those people. He owns all

01:02:49.000 | those places. And if he says,

01:02:51.000 | "This is the topic for discussion,"

01:02:53.000 | then guess what? It's the topic

01:02:55.000 | for discussion. It is authorized.

01:02:57.000 | We are just announcing for

01:02:59.000 | the king, and he has set the agenda,

01:03:01.000 | and we follow him.

01:03:03.000 | Now, speaking

01:03:05.000 | of announcing for the king,

01:03:07.000 | this is helpful,

01:03:09.000 | I think, encouraging, particularly

01:03:11.000 | for our people, to understand,

01:03:13.000 | in light of the context that we are in,

01:03:15.000 | the nature of evangelism.

01:03:17.000 | The very word, euangelizo,

01:03:19.000 | means to announce, to proclaim

01:03:21.000 | good news.

01:03:23.000 | It depicts one, just like the context here,

01:03:25.000 | who goes before as a herald

01:03:27.000 | of the king, announcing and declaring

01:03:29.000 | his victory.

01:03:31.000 | Sometimes our people get so

01:03:33.000 | discouraged and decline to evangelize

01:03:35.000 | because

01:03:37.000 | they think they fail if somebody doesn't

01:03:39.000 | get converted after

01:03:41.000 | their presentation, their proclamation.

01:03:43.000 | And so they just shy away from it

01:03:45.000 | because they just don't want to keep failing.

01:03:47.000 | That's not

01:03:49.000 | the standard of success.

01:03:51.000 | The activity the king has commissioned

01:03:53.000 | is not conversion, even though we want

01:03:55.000 | people to be converted. The activity

01:03:57.000 | is declaration.

01:03:59.000 | Declaration. Let me put it this way.

01:04:01.000 | Recently,

01:04:03.000 | in America, we

01:04:05.000 | had an event that I learned much about.

01:04:07.000 | It's called the Super Bowl.

01:04:09.000 | And at this

01:04:11.000 | event, there is

01:04:13.000 | commercials.

01:04:15.000 | And at this event, there is food and

01:04:17.000 | fellowship. And at this event,

01:04:19.000 | there is something called football.

01:04:21.000 | Which is not the football celebrated

01:04:23.000 | by the world. It's distinctly American

01:04:25.000 | football. I like it.

01:04:27.000 | And what I learned about this

01:04:29.000 | event is that there are winners.

01:04:31.000 | And then, there are people who get

01:04:33.000 | participation trophies. No, I'm just kidding.

01:04:35.000 | Winners

01:04:37.000 | and losers.

01:04:39.000 | And the team that wins, their fans

01:04:41.000 | and their people take to the streets

01:04:43.000 | and they celebrate the win. And they

01:04:45.000 | parade the win.

01:04:47.000 | Now, if you went up to them

01:04:49.000 | and said, "Is this parade

01:04:51.000 | successful if only it

01:04:53.000 | makes converts to your team?"

01:04:55.000 | They'd look at you like

01:04:57.000 | you are crazy! Because

01:04:59.000 | you are! That is not

01:05:01.000 | the criteria for success

01:05:03.000 | of declaration. The criteria

01:05:05.000 | for success is what? Declaration!

01:05:07.000 | They don't care

01:05:09.000 | if somebody joins the fanbase

01:05:11.000 | of their team. That's wonderful.

01:05:13.000 | What they care about is announcing

01:05:15.000 | the win. Brothers,

01:05:17.000 | we have to be clear with our people.

01:05:19.000 | Let's just help them out. Our success

01:05:21.000 | rate at conversion is exactly

01:05:23.000 | 0.00%.

01:05:25.000 | We don't

01:05:27.000 | convert anybody. The Lord

01:05:29.000 | does that. But if our people

01:05:31.000 | and we declare Christ

01:05:33.000 | in His death and resurrection,

01:05:35.000 | if we declare Christ and His salvation

01:05:37.000 | from our sins, then we have

01:05:39.000 | a 100% success rate

01:05:41.000 | every single time. That's what we have to

01:05:43.000 | remind them.

01:05:45.000 | We go everywhere

01:05:47.000 | Christ reigns.

01:05:49.000 | And that's what His disciples understood.

01:05:51.000 | They understood

01:05:53.000 | that the King has called them

01:05:55.000 | to announce Him. And

01:05:57.000 | He has done so with full authority

01:05:59.000 | and full authorization. And whether people

01:06:01.000 | like it or not, that's okay.

01:06:03.000 | They still announce. They may be the

01:06:05.000 | smell of life to those who live and the smell

01:06:07.000 | of death to those who perish, but that

01:06:09.000 | is the call. Because we are

01:06:11.000 | announcing the King. Because He reigns

01:06:13.000 | to the ends of the earth.

01:06:15.000 | Finally,

01:06:17.000 | here's a final reason.

01:06:19.000 | We don't just

01:06:21.000 | go because of the

01:06:23.000 | greatness of His redemption

01:06:25.000 | or the greatness of

01:06:27.000 | His reign.

01:06:29.000 | We go because of the greatness

01:06:31.000 | of the reward for Him.

01:06:33.000 | The greatness of the reward

01:06:35.000 | for Him. Turn with me to

01:06:37.000 | Psalm 22.

01:06:39.000 | Psalm 22.

01:06:41.000 | Verse 27

01:06:47.000 | says the phrase,

01:06:49.000 | "All the ends

01:06:51.000 | of the earth will remember

01:06:53.000 | and turn

01:06:55.000 | to Yahweh."

01:06:57.000 | We have the phrase

01:06:59.000 | there again. And we know Psalm

01:07:01.000 | 22. We know Psalm

01:07:03.000 | 22.

01:07:05.000 | It is the suffering of our

01:07:07.000 | Lord. Immense

01:07:09.000 | suffering. "My God,

01:07:11.000 | my God, why have you

01:07:13.000 | forsaken me?"

01:07:15.000 | We know that.

01:07:17.000 | And there is intense suffering of Christ.

01:07:19.000 | You could say it's

01:07:21.000 | Him physically and personally.

01:07:23.000 | Verse 14,

01:07:25.000 | "I'm poured out like water.

01:07:27.000 | All my bones are out of

01:07:29.000 | joint. My heart is like

01:07:31.000 | wax. It is

01:07:33.000 | melted within me. My strength

01:07:35.000 | is dried up like a potsherd, and

01:07:37.000 | my tongue cleaves to my jaws."

01:07:39.000 | This is the

01:07:41.000 | pain of execution. The most

01:07:43.000 | excruciating execution.

01:07:45.000 | But it's not just physically and personally.

01:07:47.000 | It's even interpersonally.

01:07:49.000 | What are people doing around

01:07:51.000 | the Lord Jesus?

01:07:53.000 | "Be not

01:07:55.000 | far from me, for distress is near." Verse 11,

01:07:57.000 | "For there is none to help."

01:07:59.000 | Total shunning.

01:08:01.000 | Total shame.

01:08:03.000 | Total isolation.

01:08:05.000 | And those who are around

01:08:07.000 | are in total

01:08:09.000 | antipathy against Him.

01:08:11.000 | "Many bulls have surrounded me." Verse 12,

01:08:13.000 | "Strong bulls of Bashan have encircled me.

01:08:15.000 | They open their mouths wide at me."

01:08:17.000 | Just shunning. Just hatred.

01:08:19.000 | Just oppression.

01:08:21.000 | Just opposition.

01:08:23.000 | And He bore that.

01:08:25.000 | But what drives all of that

01:08:27.000 | is, of course,

01:08:29.000 | the ultimate suffering.

01:08:31.000 | The wrath of God.

01:08:33.000 | "My God,

01:08:35.000 | my God, why have you

01:08:37.000 | forsaken me?"

01:08:39.000 | And with that

01:08:41.000 | question, "Why?"

01:08:43.000 | Jesus expresses

01:08:45.000 | what human language

01:08:47.000 | and all words and all

01:08:49.000 | tongues that have ever existed

01:08:51.000 | in this planet can never

01:08:53.000 | express, for there are no

01:08:55.000 | words and no terms that can

01:08:57.000 | ever adequately convey

01:08:59.000 | the intense, excruciating suffering

01:09:01.000 | and agony of our Lord.

01:09:03.000 | There are no words that can explain that.

01:09:05.000 | No words that can express that.

01:09:07.000 | And with the question, "Why?"

01:09:09.000 | Jesus conveys

01:09:11.000 | such unparalleled agony.

01:09:13.000 | And at the same time,

01:09:15.000 | He asks the question,

01:09:17.000 | "Why is this happening?"

01:09:19.000 | What's the purpose?

01:09:21.000 | What's the point?

01:09:23.000 | What's the goal?

01:09:25.000 | And what we often forget

01:09:27.000 | as we study Psalm 22, we focus

01:09:29.000 | so much on the first part

01:09:31.000 | that we forget that there's a second part

01:09:33.000 | and actually gives an answer.

01:09:35.000 | Look at verse 22 of Psalm 22.

01:09:41.000 | It

01:09:43.000 | says this,

01:09:45.000 | "I will surely recount

01:09:47.000 | your name to my brothers."

01:09:49.000 | Two interpretive

01:09:51.000 | tips for Psalm 22

01:09:53.000 | at this point. Interpretive

01:09:55.000 | tip number one.

01:09:57.000 | When you are

01:09:59.000 | executed, you die.

01:10:01.000 | It's not hard

01:10:03.000 | to understand. When you are

01:10:05.000 | executed, by nature and

01:10:07.000 | definition of execution,

01:10:09.000 | you die.

01:10:11.000 | When someone drowns,

01:10:13.000 | they pass away. When somebody is electrocuted,

01:10:15.000 | they die. When somebody says,

01:10:17.000 | "Man, I killed him dead!"

01:10:19.000 | That would be true. I mean, is there

01:10:21.000 | any other way to do that?

01:10:23.000 | When you are executed,

01:10:25.000 | you die.

01:10:27.000 | Okay. Tip number

01:10:29.000 | two. Verse 22.

01:10:31.000 | "I will surely recount your name to my brothers."

01:10:33.000 | When you are still talking,

01:10:35.000 | you are not dead.

01:10:37.000 | You are

01:10:39.000 | not even mostly dead.

01:10:41.000 | So,

01:10:43.000 | let's ask the question, "Jesus

01:10:45.000 | is executed, so he should be what?"

01:10:47.000 | Dead. But he's still

01:10:49.000 | talking, so he can't be what?

01:10:51.000 | Dead. What is this moment looking

01:10:53.000 | at? Not his death, but his what?

01:10:55.000 | Resurrection. In fact,

01:10:57.000 | this moment is looking at the

01:10:59.000 | eschatological resurrection that his

01:11:01.000 | resurrection drove.

01:11:03.000 | Notice what the text

01:11:05.000 | says. That the

01:11:07.000 | afflicted will eat, verse 26, and be

01:11:09.000 | satisfied. May your heart

01:11:11.000 | live forever. And then even

01:11:13.000 | later on, it says in verse 29,

01:11:15.000 | "All those who go down to the dust will

01:11:17.000 | bow before him." How can you go down to the dust

01:11:19.000 | and die and yet bow before him? Even the one

01:11:21.000 | who cannot keep his soul alive because they were raised

01:11:23.000 | from the dead.

01:11:25.000 | This is a moment that looks

01:11:27.000 | to the future. This is a moment that looks

01:11:29.000 | to eschatology. And in this

01:11:31.000 | moment, Jesus is surrounded by

01:11:33.000 | people. He's the leader of them all, as he

01:11:35.000 | surely recounts God's name

01:11:37.000 | to his brothers in the midst of assembly.

01:11:39.000 | He will praise God because

01:11:41.000 | he is the one who is the one

01:11:43.000 | leading praise, and he is the one explaining

01:11:45.000 | salvation. Verse 24, "For he has

01:11:47.000 | not despised, and he has not abhorred

01:11:49.000 | the afflicted of the afflicted, and he has not hidden his face

01:11:51.000 | from him. But when he cried to him for help, he

01:11:53.000 | heard." But it's not just at this time

01:11:55.000 | that Israel's gathered around

01:11:57.000 | Jesus and worshiping him and being

01:11:59.000 | led by him, and he's the center of everything.

01:12:01.000 | It is this, verse 27, "All

01:12:03.000 | the ends of the

01:12:05.000 | earth will remember

01:12:07.000 | and turn to

01:12:09.000 | Yahweh." Here is the picture,

01:12:11.000 | prophetic picture of Psalm 22.

01:12:13.000 | There will be a day when Christ

01:12:15.000 | returns, and he will set up his

01:12:17.000 | kingdom in Jerusalem. And at

01:12:19.000 | that time, it will not just be Israel

01:12:21.000 | surrounding him. It will be

01:12:23.000 | the ends of the earth, from

01:12:25.000 | one end of heaven to the other end

01:12:27.000 | of heaven, from one horizon to

01:12:29.000 | the next. You will only see

01:12:31.000 | people, people of every

01:12:33.000 | nation, tribe, and tongue, filling

01:12:35.000 | all the land that is

01:12:37.000 | available on this earth,

01:12:39.000 | and every continent that is on

01:12:41.000 | this earth. Throughout history,

01:12:43.000 | God has preserved a remnant,

01:12:45.000 | and we've always been small, and we've

01:12:47.000 | always been few, and we've always been

01:12:49.000 | the minority. But on that day,

01:12:51.000 | the remnant will become the absolute

01:12:53.000 | majority, and we will fill the

01:12:55.000 | earth. And all eyes will

01:12:57.000 | be focused on Christ. Notice

01:12:59.000 | what the text says. All the ends of the

01:13:01.000 | earth will remember. What will we remember?

01:13:03.000 | We will remember our sin. We will know

01:13:05.000 | finally how weighty it is, how

01:13:07.000 | disgusting it is to God, and we will remember

01:13:09.000 | what the Lord has done for us.

01:13:11.000 | All that it took, all the sacrifice,

01:13:13.000 | all the effort, all the

01:13:15.000 | work to secure our liberation

01:13:17.000 | from sin and Satan and

01:13:19.000 | death and the very wrath of God, and we

01:13:21.000 | will remember that. And therefore, we will

01:13:23.000 | turn to Christ.

01:13:25.000 | We will turn and face Him everywhere,

01:13:27.000 | from one end of heaven to the other

01:13:29.000 | end of heaven, to the very ends of the earth.

01:13:31.000 | All the nations, all the

01:13:33.000 | people, all the elect will be

01:13:35.000 | facing Christ in Jerusalem.

01:13:37.000 | All eyes on Him. And because

01:13:39.000 | we are so overcome with who

01:13:41.000 | He is, and so overcome with

01:13:43.000 | what He has done for us, and all His glory,

01:13:45.000 | then what will happen? All

01:13:47.000 | the families of the nations, as the text says, will

01:13:49.000 | worship, literally in Hebrew, bow

01:13:51.000 | down before Him. The whole world

01:13:53.000 | at one moment will bow

01:13:55.000 | to the Savior. And we will

01:13:57.000 | declare with our heart all

01:13:59.000 | glory, honor to the Lamb, and

01:14:01.000 | salvation belongs to Him

01:14:03.000 | alone. That is what will happen

01:14:05.000 | on that day. And

01:14:07.000 | at that moment, and at that

01:14:09.000 | moment, we know the answer

01:14:11.000 | to the question, "My God,

01:14:13.000 | my God, why have you

01:14:15.000 | forsaken me?" Here's

01:14:17.000 | the answer. Praise to

01:14:19.000 | the ends of the earth. That

01:14:21.000 | is why. They

01:14:23.000 | are why.

01:14:25.000 | We are

01:14:27.000 | why. This

01:14:29.000 | is the reward of the

01:14:31.000 | Son. And here's what's beautiful.

01:14:33.000 | Isaiah prophesies

01:14:35.000 | this in Isaiah 53. He

01:14:37.000 | says this,

01:14:39.000 | "That on that day, the

01:14:41.000 | servant will see his seed,

01:14:43.000 | as the whole world bows

01:14:45.000 | before Him, from one end of

01:14:47.000 | heaven to the other end of heaven."

01:14:49.000 | He

01:14:51.000 | will see His seed, all

01:14:53.000 | the elect that He bought from every

01:14:55.000 | nation, tribe, and tongue.

01:14:57.000 | And here's what Isaiah says, "His

01:14:59.000 | soul will

01:15:01.000 | be satisfied."

01:15:03.000 | You

01:15:05.000 | say,

01:15:07.000 | "I love that. I want

01:15:09.000 | Him to be that honored."

01:15:11.000 | Me too. That's

01:15:13.000 | why we go. That's why

01:15:15.000 | we go. We don't just go

01:15:17.000 | because His redemption deserves it.

01:15:19.000 | That's true. We don't just go because His

01:15:21.000 | reign demands it. That's true.

01:15:23.000 | We go because that's

01:15:25.000 | His reward. And if we can participate

01:15:27.000 | in that, in an act of gratitude,

01:15:29.000 | in an act of love to our Savior,

01:15:31.000 | we go. We proclaim

01:15:33.000 | Him because we love the Lord

01:15:35.000 | Jesus. And anything that will

01:15:37.000 | bring Him honor, and everything that

01:15:39.000 | will bring Him praise, we are for

01:15:41.000 | with all of our heart because we

01:15:43.000 | love Christ.

01:15:45.000 | That's why we

01:15:47.000 | go.

01:15:49.000 | And so,

01:15:51.000 | on that day when Acts

01:15:53.000 | 1-8 occurred,

01:15:55.000 | and Christ uttered His

01:15:57.000 | commission, the disciples

01:15:59.000 | understood why they go.

01:16:01.000 | You could put it this way,

01:16:03.000 | because redemption

01:16:05.000 | goes to the ends of the

01:16:07.000 | earth, and because

01:16:09.000 | His reign of Christ

01:16:11.000 | goes to the ends of the earth,

01:16:13.000 | and because His reward is to

01:16:15.000 | the ends of the earth,

01:16:17.000 | then we go

01:16:19.000 | to the ends of the

01:16:21.000 | earth.

01:16:23.000 | And of course,

01:16:25.000 | God doesn't need us. He doesn't

01:16:27.000 | depend on us for this.

01:16:29.000 | He just

01:16:31.000 | graciously allowed us to participate

01:16:33.000 | because

01:16:35.000 | we are so captured to His Son,

01:16:37.000 | because we understand

01:16:39.000 | what He deserves, and we understand

01:16:41.000 | what His reign demands, and we

01:16:43.000 | have this intense delight in Him.

01:16:45.000 | And so, of course,

01:16:47.000 | we go with all joy

01:16:49.000 | because this is a privilege.

01:16:51.000 | Let me

01:16:53.000 | just say one more remark.

01:16:55.000 | It's not just

01:16:57.000 | that the redemption

01:16:59.000 | deserves it. It's not

01:17:01.000 | just that His reign demands it.

01:17:03.000 | It's not just that His reward

01:17:05.000 | causes us to delight in Him

01:17:07.000 | to do it. It's this.

01:17:09.000 | The results are

01:17:11.000 | decided. The

01:17:13.000 | results are decided.

01:17:15.000 | Isaiah

01:17:17.000 | 49, Psalm

01:17:19.000 | 72, Psalm 22,

01:17:21.000 | they're all prophecies.

01:17:23.000 | They're all telling us

01:17:25.000 | exactly what is going to happen

01:17:27.000 | in the future. Brothers,

01:17:29.000 | the outcome has been decided.

01:17:31.000 | The outcome is sure.

01:17:33.000 | If you are going to

01:17:35.000 | the field, if we are engaging

01:17:37.000 | in the ministry, we have to

01:17:39.000 | know, yes, we may take some

01:17:41.000 | hard knocks. We may have suffering.

01:17:43.000 | We may be in over our heads.

01:17:45.000 | But in the end, the result is sure.

01:17:47.000 | The outcome is sure.

01:17:49.000 | So we hang in there, and we do all

01:17:51.000 | that we can, because we know that the

01:17:53.000 | battle will be won for the Lord Jesus,

01:17:55.000 | and the gospel will go to the ends of the earth.

01:17:57.000 | And if we are part of that, and we

01:17:59.000 | contribute to that, whatever the Lord decides,

01:18:01.000 | it is worth it to us.

01:18:03.000 | And so, because of such a great redemption,

01:18:05.000 | and because of such a great reign,

01:18:07.000 | and because of His great reward,

01:18:09.000 | may it be, brothers, that we do

01:18:11.000 | not rest until Christ is

01:18:13.000 | proclaimed to the ends of

01:18:15.000 | the earth.

01:18:17.000 | Shall we pray?

01:18:19.000 | Our God and Father,

01:18:21.000 | may Your Son be honored and glorified.

01:18:23.000 | May His transcendence

01:18:25.000 | and supremacy be burned

01:18:27.000 | and etched into our hearts,

01:18:29.000 | put deeply into our soul,

01:18:31.000 | until, indeed,

01:18:33.000 | we cry out the words,

01:18:35.000 | "Give us this world for

01:18:37.000 | Christ, or we die."

01:18:39.000 | May it be that

01:18:41.000 | our hearts endeavor, for the

01:18:43.000 | sake of Your Son, for the sake of

01:18:45.000 | the honor that is due to Him,

01:18:47.000 | that we labor on and ministry

01:18:49.000 | faithfully to the end, even

01:18:51.000 | to the ends of the earth.

01:18:53.000 | We give Him all praise

01:18:55.000 | and honor now, and it is in

01:18:57.000 | Your name we pray. Amen.

01:18:59.000 | [applause]

01:19:11.000 | Thank you, Dr. Chao. What an

01:19:13.000 | amazingly powerful way
