Nobody enters otherwise. And that’s basically coming to the place where you realize you’re spiritually bankrupt. You have no way to make it your own and your own power and wisdom. And if you have nothing to offer the guy, all are sinners and fall short of the glory of God. And so we all fall short. And we always will be kidding. We can’t fix ourselves. We can’t redeem ourselves. We can but we often don’t forgive ourselves. But we can’t forgive ourselves our sin Jesus has to be. He has to cleanses he has to give us his righteousness. So we’ve talked about blessing. Today we’re going to talk about blessing as always in the morning is a word that used in this translation, the strongest word for mourning,
mourning the passionate kind of grief, such a hold on a man that it cannot be hidden. And so it’s been absolutely crushed. It’s like Peter after he denied Jesus. And the third time the rooster crows locked eyes with Jesus. And the rooster crows in the locked. Theater saw that look with grace and love and forgiveness. After all, it said, Lord out of the jail, really, Peter had to find out that he was spiritually bankrupt. He couldn’t do it on his own. When he saw Jesus his eyes and after him not in three times, he ran off into the 90s couldn’t believe it. He gave up his whole following. You know, it says Blessed are those who mourn. And there’s three ways we could actually think morning. One would be a man who has certain things that can only be learned through sorrow. Unless you go through those things, the things you’re going through the now the things you’ve been through, things are gonna go through. tough things are hard. You can’t see the way or the way things you’ve done and you can’t believe you’ve come to a place of being crushed. Realizing that you cannot help ourselves we have to turn that
around. We could take it literally morning over you know, usually one morning in that regard, we can find two things about sorrow. One we can find out compassion and mercy and kindness and
think about the time people came along next to you could have been financially it could have been given taken care of. It could have been a card and
a slap on the back or
someone coming along and helping me find out that there are people out there that’s where you know, no other country, no other nation in the world. Either one’s called in the corporation to help. Got john and
welcome back.
Everyone sharing the gospel. That’s another way to look at this. That’s not what Jesus had in mind. He says following through So basically what he was talking about yesterday, sorry. theater was desperately sorry. You have rushed over our sin. Have you ever been desperate and just go? What am I can’t keep from doing this in Romans seven? Cause frustration, you know, the things I know I should do? I don’t do. I know I should do them every now and then. But I can consistently do
things I know I shouldn’t do. And the devil comes along about that. You made the commitment. And now you’re not. He said, You’ll never do it again. And
that will come along and he accused. Jesus will come along. And that’s reasonably right. Because I know when you get a letter from God, he’s
not going to be right, you might think he would have looked on his face when he saw things. I mean, what the devil always heard those reports. You give in to those voices. And it’s not that he’s wrong. You did it. We did it. But God’s given us a way out. That’s killing us. Just reminds us that apart from him, we can do nothing. If you abide in Me and my word about you will bear much fruit for me not have to wait, there was a quote. According to the Spanish the more man grows, the more the more a man grows, the
more you breathe.
Basically, the same goes to the light, the darker your ship. So what God has done is he says, you’re gonna be broken over this difference in Saul and David. Solomon. God calls us to kill our children
trying to keep them
most of the trouble we get into we get into the wrong hands. And some of your friends got in trouble because you are the wrong man from the congregation. Good preaching going to meddle in your love.
Life in the world.
The world of business. You know if you’re going to if you’re going to mourn over your sin
worn open before you go if you don’t know how bad you don’t know what
you don’t feel like you feel you understand what sin is and what it does to you and what it’s done to you. God knows God.
I’d say that makes him pretty terrible. Anything that could do that. And that’s what we battle every day. And we could go on and on the rest of this man has broken heart. So the point is, I can’t reinvent the wheel. I’m sorry.
I don’t know about you, you came to Christ. That’s what Christianity desperate meaning I cannot quit sinning. Stop doing what I know I shouldn’t do and start doing what I know I should understand. And even when I do so we’ll start right. About
a year and a half.
There’s a lot going on. We need to understand the disposition and morality and wrong
decisions.
When it comes to seeing you need to know yourself and know your Bible teaches at all. I have the disposition
because of this,
I know that there’s no right or wrong. move us Meanwhile, is a bonafide genuine

lorded over,
no way, no way, find freedom. And no way to find comfort from the sea, and all the chemicals, and all the repercussions and all the destruction. I can only find it in front. When we go to the cross we see like seeing it now the loveliest life that ever lived,
took the flour and crushed it. And that’s what it did. And that’s what we justify, we rationalize. Because we can’t handle the guilt, shame. God has called Of course. And then that brings us to a place of mourning over confessing and we need to confess we’ve been called in the way we get to make people reality. We can make ourselves smell good, smells sweet aroma. To me. We have been beat down by sin that crushes
and even if he doesn’t
realize in the middle of his sin he doesn’t realize the consequences. Which is the root of the gospel, though and share with people the good news that they don’t have to die. They don’t have mercy. You wonder why we don’t praise Him. We wonder why we’re not more we wonder why we’re not more excited.
I think it’s because we’ve gotten used to call that selfish spirit. You get resentment built up for things that people have done to us
and we feel righteous and then we all we all have our skin terrible horrible to the point where anyways, we saw the tortures, knew they were telling us he was going to the crops and then as humanity
he didn’t want to do that.
So three times, three times to bother get off. Because he did that God gave everything Jesus Christ everything without every name. Every Democrat in the every Republican, every time in every name of every black every white, brown, yellow, every ethnic. Every meme about Jesus Christ is Lord. Do it in joy and praise others desperation they’ll do it wishing. Wishing wishing wishes as forgiving tuition. So we have grace. We have mercy. Don’t you think for one second, she can take your eyes off the cross and
always have crazy under God gives us and giving us grace of God said it this way, you’re saying that grace, say, from what saved from all this sin, all the terrible things he’s doing. And I love brother, Lord, when he said, I’m not surprised when I say, and I’m surprised when I don’t.
That’s what I do. When I’m left to myself, I sent her to talk about gossip. That’s what I do when I’m listening. He came in to give us a new line to start a revolution
in crises and found that sin doesn’t have that power. And given a new power, in which you might have wanted to have an abundance, and the only way I can have an abundant life, and the only way you can have an abundant life. And when we do sin, and we do, we’ve been given that to confess your sins, he’ll be crushed, will be broken up. If you’re acknowledging, as we call it, what it is to confess your sin, I’ll be faithful. You can count on me. I’ll be faithful and I’ll be righteous without bringing justice. You deserve to be faithful and righteous to be taken from took it on myself on the Forgiving thing. Here’s from all sin crushermobile Quinn’s from Austin. And that’s what he does. And that’s what he loves to do. That’s what he came to doing that is strong and has to make a man. Like all things given hope, given purpose came That You Might Have Life. So that’s all that we have in Christ. Listen to those who mourn for they will be comfortable. And you’re comforted every time they’re forgiving. They’re comforted every time you admit your sin and acknowledge it before he comes
along. And he said to me one time if you asked me to forgive you, and I said,
why’d you come back and ask him? I don’t remember it anymore. Can you imagine that I’ll be up in this office in all the hate all the selfish.
I don’t have a file with your name. And I’ll keep record of this. I want to give you and as we’ve seen sin abounding in our lives in our world today we sit down and all God wants to say people would come into Christ in the Middle East and throw. God is wrapping it up. He’s making things happen to save and getting the word out. People are desperate. People are suicidal, their
car wrecks. Life is not all there is preparation for the life. So I don’t know what you’ve been like in the past. I don’t know what you’re saying. I don’t know what you’re assuming. And I suggest and recommend to deal with it. Starting by being aggressive. To be crushed that I think you need to go to the cross and see
the suffering
Sacrifice installed us to do the same thing. It’s called sacrifice. He’s called us to be the kind of men of God to be not by not by we used to be with you
without them without them without them without them send me for your shirt Give me your code let them know what really matters to me that be that man be the man who created this not just enjoy forgiveness and help other people that’s what we get when we become in a prayer the word Lord of our life we chase after the chase in Africa we do it all to give it away so that mentor that knows the life that I found that that we have missed
and maybe you’re not feeling forgiven this morning maybe you’ve been in some Sam you can’t shake shake it off make it about Christ. And see the blood sacrifice rejoicing raises name thought there were three freedom to live not in beating yourself up and feeling guilty and ashamed.
Just keep going to him when you’re sad you find that sin becomes the safe word you don’t want it anymore sacred to walk away from that if you’re not going to him and ask him for forgiveness if you’re not going to the cross and see if you’re not pasting and not doing you’re not going to be you’re not going to be shake it What a great guy what a wonderful say I will exalt you oh my god oh team and I will list your name forever and ever. Every day I will know a phrase your name forever and ever sounds like a man that just wrote Psalm 51 he said the merciful the male God according to your loving kindness according to the greatness that your compassion brought out sounds like he got forgiven every day I will bless you and I will praise your greatest one generation phrase your words glorious splendor wonderful words.
