100:00:00,880 –> 00:00:13,800In this letter we see wonderfully clearly who Jesus is what Jesus has done what Jesus is doing200:00:13,800 –> 00:00:22,559now and what Jesus will do. Welcome to open the Bible with Pastor Colin Smith300:00:22,559 –> 00:00:28,520I’m David Pick, glad you could be with us today. So Colin perhaps I’m not alone in being very400:00:28,740 –> 00:00:33,660aware of what Jesus has done going to the cross to take away my sin and to500:00:33,660 –> 00:00:38,220take my punishment on himself, but I’m not always thinking about what Jesus is600:00:38,220 –> 00:00:44,139doing now or will do in the future. Yes and this is a case of both and, isn’t700:00:44,139 –> 00:00:47,980it? It’s right that our first thought should be about what Christ has800:00:47,980 –> 00:00:53,099accomplished for us on the cross, but we must remember too, He’s not on the cross900:00:53,099 –> 00:00:57,560now He rose from the dead He’s ascended and seated at the right hand of the1000:00:57,599 –> 00:01:02,000Father and He’s coming again as our glorious King. And we’re in the last1100:01:02,000 –> 00:01:08,120message today in a series in 1st John and we’ve been looking at this question1200:01:08,120 –> 00:01:14,559of assurance and we end on this marvelous note of hope. We struggle in so1300:01:14,559 –> 00:01:20,839many ways with sin that remains in our lives, but it will not always be so.1400:01:20,839 –> 00:01:24,139We’re looking at 1st John in Chapter 3 where we have this wonderful1500:01:24,139 –> 00:01:31,940statement, we are God’s children now and what we will be has not yet appeared, but1600:01:31,940 –> 00:01:36,980we know that when He appears we shall be like Him because we shall see Him as He1700:01:36,980 –> 00:01:41,040is. Now that’s the most glorious hope that we’re actuary going to be like1800:01:41,040 –> 00:01:45,199Jesus. That’s where we’re destined, that’s what we’re going to be, that’s the1900:01:45,199 –> 00:01:50,739glorious future and if you know that that is your glorious future, it’s going2000:01:50,860 –> 00:01:55,580affect the way that you live today and that’s why John says the person who has2100:01:55,580 –> 00:02:01,440this hope in him or her, well that person is going to purify him or herself even2200:02:01,440 –> 00:02:07,639as Jesus himself is pure. So let’s continue to look at that as we return to2300:02:07,639 –> 00:02:12,419the first book of John chapter 3 and verses 1 to 3. As we continue our message2400:02:12,419 –> 00:02:17,500assurance grows as you look to the work of the Son here is Colin.2500:02:17,559 –> 00:02:25,740You will learn to recognize the work of the Holy Spirit in your life. This will be a means2600:02:25,740 –> 00:02:32,880by which you grow in assurance. Before we move on today let me just pause here2700:02:32,880 –> 00:02:36,960and try and press this point home. You know it seems to me that sometimes2800:02:36,960 –> 00:02:44,139we fail to recognize the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives because His2900:02:44,139 –> 00:02:51,479work in us is not yet complete. John says well know if you’re truly a Christian3000:02:51,479 –> 00:02:55,880you believe and you love and you obey and then some of us respond to that3100:02:55,880 –> 00:03:00,460perhaps even during this series by saying ah yes but you see my faith is3200:03:00,460 –> 00:03:06,059not as strong as it should be. I have so many questions doubts and fears so that3300:03:06,059 –> 00:03:10,880makes me wonder if it’s the real thing. My love is not as deep as it3400:03:11,139 –> 00:03:14,559should be my heart’s very often cold so it just makes me wonder am I a real3500:03:14,559 –> 00:03:20,360thing my obedience isn’t as full as it should be you know I am so far from3600:03:22,080 –> 00:03:27,660being the person that God calls me to be yes all of that is true but you see the3700:03:27,660 –> 00:03:36,119reason that it is true is because you are a work in progress so draw assurance3800:03:36,679 –> 00:03:46,639from this the work in progress is truly the work of the Holy Spirit, it is all3900:03:46,639 –> 00:03:56,199good though none of it is yet complete He is at work in you learn to recognize4000:03:56,199 –> 00:04:00,600the work of the Holy Spirit in your life so this is where we’ve been over these4100:04:00,600 –> 00:04:05,440last weeks how does assurance come to us it’s not only a goal to pursue it’s a4200:04:05,600 –> 00:04:11,559gift to enjoy how does it come to us it grows through the Word of God the4300:04:11,559 –> 00:04:16,559Father so listen to the word of grace that God speaks to you in Jesus Christ4400:04:16,559 –> 00:04:21,320lean on His promise remember that He justifies those who have4500:04:21,320 –> 00:04:28,359faith in Jesus and that God is greater than your condemning heart and assurance4600:04:28,359 –> 00:04:34,040grows through the witness of the Holy Spirit so learn to recognize the4700:04:34,040 –> 00:04:39,040work of the Holy Spirit in your life remember that you are a work4800:04:39,040 –> 00:04:44,420in progress and don’t dismiss what God is doing in your life simply because it4900:04:44,420 –> 00:04:51,239is not yet complete and then the last leg of our journey today assurance grows5000:04:51,239 –> 00:04:59,799through the work of God the Son and John keeps coming back to this5100:05:00,440 –> 00:05:08,119throughout this series the ministry of God the5200:05:08,119 –> 00:05:14,720Son our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in this letter we see wonderfully clearly5300:05:14,720 –> 00:05:27,040who Jesus is what Jesus has done what Jesus is doing now and what Jesus will5400:05:27,040 –> 00:05:37,359do who Jesus is John makes so clear Jesus is the Son of God chapter 4 in5500:05:37,359 –> 00:05:46,640verse 9 God sent his only Son into the world so that we might live through him5600:05:46,640 –> 00:05:53,959now chapter 4 in verse 14 the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the5700:05:54,079 –> 00:06:01,279world or chapter 4 in verse 15 whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God5800:06:01,279 –> 00:06:13,279God abides in him and he in God I will never forget John Nyquist who’s a member5900:06:13,279 –> 00:06:18,679at this congregation for many years and served as professor of evangelism and6000:06:18,739 –> 00:06:24,140discipleship at our seminary Trinity evangelical divinity school he told me6100:06:24,140 –> 00:06:32,540once over a meal that he had once led someone to faith in Christ using a knife6200:06:32,540 –> 00:06:41,420and a fork and a spoon I said you’ve got to tell me about that and he told me6300:06:41,420 –> 00:06:47,100that on one occasion he was sitting at a table with a young lad who had a very6400:06:47,220 –> 00:06:54,380limited capacity for understanding and in front of him there was a knife and a6500:06:54,380 –> 00:07:02,420fork and a spoon so he picked up the knife and the fork one in each hand and6600:07:02,420 –> 00:07:14,980he said now this one loves this one and this one loves this one and he put the6700:07:14,980 –> 00:07:18,200knife and the fork in the same hand and picked up the spoon and he said and6800:07:18,200 –> 00:07:26,959these two they really love this one you put them down and he pushed the spoon6900:07:26,959 –> 00:07:35,179away over to the other side of the table and he picked up the knife and pointing7000:07:35,179 –> 00:07:41,200to the spoon he said now if this one slips away what do you think this one7100:07:41,220 –> 00:07:48,160will do and the boy immediately picked up the fork and he said he’ll send this7200:07:48,160 –> 00:07:56,260one to go and bring him back he’d got it he’d understood the very heart7300:07:56,260 –> 00:08:03,739of the gospel and of the Christmas story the father loves the son and the son7400:08:03,739 –> 00:08:12,380loves the father and the father and the son really love you and when you slipped7500:08:12,380 –> 00:08:18,839away and were lost the father sent the son to save you to bring you back7600:08:18,839 –> 00:08:24,100that’s a Christmas story and you see it’s exactly what John says in the7700:08:24,100 –> 00:08:29,100simplest and the plainest language here God sent his only son into the world7800:08:29,100 –> 00:08:34,539that we might live through him the father has sent his son to be the savior7900:08:34,539 –> 00:08:41,080of the world and John makes it clear if you will believe in him then God will8000:08:41,080 –> 00:08:46,960abide in you and you will abide in him whoever confesses that Jesus is the son8100:08:46,960 –> 00:08:55,500of God God abides in him and he in God that’s who Jesus is he’s the son of God8200:08:55,619 –> 00:09:04,979who came into the world to bring us back to the father what has Jesus done well8300:09:04,979 –> 00:09:09,859John makes it very clear and we’ve seen this in our series that Jesus is our8400:09:09,859 –> 00:09:15,799propitiation a long word and a very important one to grasp and understand he8500:09:15,799 –> 00:09:18,880uses it twice in this letter chapter 4 in verse 108600:09:19,000 –> 00:09:25,619in this is love he’s going to tell us how we know what love is. Not that we8700:09:25,619 –> 00:09:33,359loved God but that he loved us and sent his son to be the propitiation for our8800:09:33,359 –> 00:09:39,460sins. He says the same thing in chapter 2 in verse 2. He Jesus is the8900:09:39,460 –> 00:09:45,239propitiation for our sins and not for ours only but also for the sins of the9000:09:45,780 –> 00:09:55,919world. A propitiation is simply a gift or payment offered to satisfy the need of9100:09:55,919 –> 00:10:03,200justice to placate an offended person and to settle a case and since our sins9200:10:03,200 –> 00:10:10,599are by definition offenses against God it follows that God must be the one who9300:10:10,640 –> 00:10:18,880determines what the propitiation must be and John tells us here that Jesus is the9400:10:18,880 –> 00:10:28,359propitiation for our sins. God in his amazing love has sent his one and only9500:10:28,359 –> 00:10:36,500son to be the propitiation for our sins and what that means is that when Jesus9600:10:36,500 –> 00:10:44,159died on the cross, all that was due to us on account of our sins was actually9700:10:44,159 –> 00:10:53,840poured out on him. He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree. The Lord9800:10:53,840 –> 00:11:03,960laid on him the iniquity of us all and that is why Jesus is the Lamb of God who9900:11:04,159 –> 00:11:10,679takes away the sin of the world. Now think about this, all that was due to us10000:11:10,679 –> 00:11:17,200on account of our sins was poured out on Jesus when he hung there on the cross10100:11:17,200 –> 00:11:23,080and when it was done, when it was spent, when it was exhausted, Jesus cried out in10200:11:23,080 –> 00:11:27,739a loud voice, it is finished!10300:11:28,080 –> 00:11:32,340We were just talking about the work of the Holy Spirit that’s not yet complete10400:11:32,419 –> 00:11:39,020weren’t we? But you see, while the work of the Spirit in us is not yet complete,10500:11:39,020 –> 00:11:45,940the work of the Lord Jesus Christ for us is absolutely complete. All that could10600:11:45,940 –> 00:11:52,559ever be needed for you very far yet from what God calls you to be, very10700:11:52,559 –> 00:11:58,020incomplete, still a work in progress, nevertheless all that is needed for you10800:11:58,020 –> 00:12:02,260to be forgiven and reconciled to God has been accomplished by Jesus on the10900:12:02,260 –> 00:12:09,299cross and therefore you can rest on his completed work.11000:12:09,299 –> 00:12:12,900You’re listening to Open the Bible with Pastor Colin Smith and a message called11100:12:12,900 –> 00:12:16,119Assurance Grows as you look to the work of the Son.11200:12:16,119 –> 00:12:21,219It’s from our series How Can I Be Sure? All about being certain about Salvation.11300:12:21,219 –> 00:12:25,299And if you’ve missed any of the series, don’t forget, you can always catch up or11400:12:25,299 –> 00:12:27,940go back and listen again online at our website11500:12:28,400 –> 00:12:34,099openthebible.org.uk or find us as a podcast on all the main podcast11600:12:34,099 –> 00:12:38,020sites, and those are available by searching for Open the Bible11700:12:38,020 –> 00:12:41,460UK. Back to the message now, here again is Colin.11800:12:41,460 –> 00:12:46,820Who Jesus is, He’s the Son of God. What is he done? He is11900:12:46,820 –> 00:12:51,380the propitiation for our sins. What is He doing now?12000:12:51,380 –> 00:12:54,739Well John lays out so clearly that Jesus is our12100:12:54,739 –> 00:12:58,260advocate. Chapter two in verse one, my12200:12:58,260 –> 00:13:02,900little children I’m writing these things to you so that you may not sin, but if12300:13:02,900 –> 00:13:08,739anyone does sin we have an Advocate with the Father,12400:13:08,739 –> 00:13:13,619Jesus Christ the righteous, He is the propitiation12500:13:13,619 –> 00:13:19,219for our sins. Now an Advocate, very simply and obviously, is a person12600:13:19,219 –> 00:13:26,179who represents you and speaks in your defense. And John says that Jesus is12700:13:26,179 –> 00:13:30,020our Advocate, that is He represents us in12800:13:30,020 –> 00:13:36,900Heaven itself. And the defense that Jesus offers12900:13:36,900 –> 00:13:40,020in regards to all the ways that we still fall short13000:13:40,020 –> 00:13:43,859of all that God calls us to be, the defense that Jesus offers13100:13:43,859 –> 00:13:48,900is that He is the propitiation for our sins.13200:13:48,900 –> 00:13:54,820So you see, when Jesus represents you in Heaven,13300:13:54,820 –> 00:13:59,299He does not claim that you have not sinned.13400:13:59,299 –> 00:14:02,580So by the way, you shouldn’t do that either.13500:14:02,580 –> 00:14:06,820No need to pretend. He doesn’t do any pretending at the right hand of the13600:14:06,820 –> 00:14:09,940Father in Heaven.13700:14:10,820 –> 00:14:14,340And when Jesus represents you in Heaven, He doesn’t try and explain your sins13800:14:14,340 –> 00:14:17,700away. He doesn’t say that you have to remember13900:14:18,099 –> 00:14:20,659that She’s been under a lot of pressure and14000:14:20,659 –> 00:14:24,900of course she’s been wronged by various other people in life and14100:14:24,900 –> 00:14:34,020Jesus doesn’t seek to excuse your sins. And so you shouldn’t do that either.14200:14:34,020 –> 00:14:41,940No, when Jesus represents you in Heaven, He rests the case14300:14:41,940 –> 00:14:47,299on His own redeeming work on your behalf.14400:14:47,460 –> 00:14:53,700He, She belongs to Me. His,14500:14:53,700 –> 00:15:00,739Her sins have been paid for entirely.14600:15:00,979 –> 00:15:08,020And you see that is why God who is just justifies those who have faith in14700:15:08,020 –> 00:15:12,820Jesus. Jesus is the propitiation for our sins14800:15:12,820 –> 00:15:20,419and in Christ your sins truly have been paid for.14900:15:20,739 –> 00:15:24,020So Jesus is the Son of God. That’s who He is.15000:15:24,020 –> 00:15:27,380He’s our propitiation. That’s what He’s done.15100:15:27,380 –> 00:15:31,700He’s our advocate. That’s what He’s doing right now. And what will He do in the15200:15:31,700 –> 00:15:34,340future? Well John makes it so clear in these15300:15:34,340 –> 00:15:39,859wonderful verses that we’ve read that Jesus is coming again. Beloved we are15400:15:39,859 –> 00:15:46,340God’s children now and what we will be has not yet appeared15500:15:46,340 –> 00:15:53,780but we know that when He appears we shall be like Him15600:15:53,780 –> 00:15:58,739because we shall see Him as He is. Notice how John uses the word15700:15:58,739 –> 00:16:01,780know again here. He’s talking about assurance.15800:16:01,780 –> 00:16:08,500What do we know? Well we know that we will see Jesus.15900:16:08,820 –> 00:16:15,880We shall see Him brothers and sisters as he is. This Christian16000:16:15,880 –> 00:16:19,960life that we’re living. It’s a life of faith. We love and16100:16:19,960 –> 00:16:26,039trust and follow a person we have never seen. But he has16200:16:26,039 –> 00:16:30,599promised that it will not always be so. When Jesus said16300:16:30,599 –> 00:16:35,559to his disciples, I will come again and do you remember that16400:16:35,960 –> 00:16:38,919on the night that he was betrayed the Lord Jesus prayed16500:16:38,919 –> 00:16:43,320to the father this way. He said father, I desire that they also16600:16:43,320 –> 00:16:48,520whom you have given me will be with me where I am and that16700:16:48,520 –> 00:16:52,599they will see my glory.16800:16:53,760 –> 00:16:59,559The son of God prayed to the father that you will see him in16900:16:59,559 –> 00:17:03,640all of his glory and John says here that’s exactly what’s17000:17:03,719 –> 00:17:07,079going to happen. You’re a child of God and here’s what lies17100:17:07,079 –> 00:17:14,119ahead. We will see him as he is.17200:17:14,619 –> 00:17:22,680Face to face with Christ my Savior face to face. What will17300:17:22,680 –> 00:17:30,599it be when with rapture, I behold him Jesus Christ who17400:17:30,819 –> 00:17:36,819who died for me face to face I shall behold him far beyond17500:17:36,819 –> 00:17:46,819the starry sky face to face in all his glory.
