Dr Philip Woodley looks at Psalm 49, which is known for its wisdom both in how to live one's life and how not to. It offers instructions for both acceptance and rejection by God. Psalm 49 is treasured by those who look to The Lord for justice against those who've wronged them in this life.

Transcript
00:00My gracious God, thank my God, assist me to proclaim, assist me to proclaim,
00:19to spread through all the earth to roar, the honors of thy name, the honors of thy name,
00:40the honors of thy name, the honors of thy name.
00:52Well, good evening. It's good to be with you again.
00:55And we're going to start our service this evening by reading Psalm 49.
01:00Hear this, all you peoples. Listen, all who live in this world, both low and high,
01:08rich and poor alike. My mouth will speak words of wisdom.
01:14The meditation of my heart will give you understanding.
01:18I will turn my ear to a proverb. With the harp I will expound my riddle.
01:26Why should I fear when evil days come, when wicked deceivers surround me,
01:32those who trust in their wealth and boast in their great riches?
01:37No one can redeem the life of another or give to God a ransom for them.
01:44The ransom for a life is costly. No payment is ever enough
01:49so that they should live on forever and not see decay.
01:55For all can see that the wise die and that the foolish and the senseless also perish,
02:02leaving their wealth to others, leaving their wealth to others.
02:06Their tombs will remain their houses forever,
02:10their dwellings for endless generations,
02:14though they had named lands after themselves.
02:19People, despite their wealth, do not endure.
02:23They are like the beasts that perish.
02:26This is the fate of those who trust in themselves
02:30and of their followers who approve their sayings.
02:35They are like sheep and are destined to die.
02:39Death will be their shepherd.
02:42But the upright will prevail over them in the morning.
02:47Their forms will decay in the grave, far from their princely mansions.
02:54But God will redeem me from the realm of the dead.
02:57He will surely take me to himself.
03:02Do not be overawed when others grow rich,
03:05when the splendour of their houses increases.
03:09For they will take nothing with them when they die.
03:12Their splendour will descend with them.
03:16Though they live, they cannot count themselves blessed.
03:22And people praise you when you prosper.
03:26They will join those who have gone before them,
03:30who never again see the light of life.
03:34People who have wealth but lack understanding
03:37are like the beasts that perish.
03:43There is a saying, isn't there,
03:45that John Paul Getty was the richest man who ever lived.
03:50And how much did he leave when he died?
03:55Everything.
03:56He took nothing with him.
03:58And the things that we take with him
04:00are not the things of this world.
04:02We take with us when we die
04:04those things which are honouring and pleasing to God,
04:07that will be rewarded by God in heaven.
04:10And this is one of those psalms that,
04:13one of the few places in the Old Testament,
04:16which gives a clear direction
04:17that God will bring back to life
04:21those who have died and who have trusted in him.
04:24When we get to the New Testament,
04:26the issues of eternal life become much clearer,
04:30that everybody is raised again,
04:33but only those who have trusted in the Lord Jesus
04:36for their salvation will be in heaven in eternity.
04:42So we need to take note,
04:44and we'll be thinking a little bit more
04:46about some of these issues later in the service.
04:50Luke chapter 4
04:54Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit,
04:57left the Jordan and was led by the Spirit
04:59into the wilderness,
05:01where for forty days he was tempted by the devil.
05:05He ate nothing during those days,
05:08and at the end of them he was hungry.
05:12The devil said to him,
05:14If you are the Son of God,
05:16tell this stone to become bread.
05:20Jesus answered,
05:22It is written,
05:24Man shall not live on bread alone.
05:28The devil led him up to a high place
05:32and showed him in an instant
05:34all the kingdoms of the world.
05:37And he said to him,
05:40I will give you all their authority and splendour.
05:43It has been given to me,
05:46and I can give it to anyone I want to.
05:48If you worship me,
05:50it will all be yours.
05:53Jesus answered,
05:55It is written,
05:57Worship the Lord your God
05:59and serve him only.
06:02The devil led him to Jerusalem
06:05and had him stand
06:06on the highest point of the temple.
06:09If you are the Son of God,
06:12he said,
06:13throw yourself down from here,
06:15for it is written,
06:17He will command his angels
06:18concerning you to guard you carefully.
06:21They will lift you up in their hands
06:24so that you will not strike your foot
06:26against a stone.
06:29Jesus answered,
06:31It is said,
06:32Do not put the Lord your God
06:34to the test.
06:37When the devil had finished
06:39all this tempting,
06:40he left him
06:41until an opportune time.
06:45Jesus returned to Galilee
06:47in the power of the Spirit,
06:49and news about him
06:50spread through the whole countryside.
06:52He was teaching in their synagogues,
06:56and everyone praised him.
06:58He went to Nazareth,
07:00where he had been brought up,
07:02and on the Sabbath day,
07:04he went into the synagogue,
07:05as was his custom.
07:07He stood up to read,
07:09and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah
07:12was handed to him.
07:15Unrolling it,
07:16he found the place
07:17where it is written,
07:19The Spirit of the Lord is on me,
07:21because he has anointed me
07:23to proclaim good news to the poor.
07:26He has sent me to proclaim freedom
07:28for the prisoners,
07:30and recovery of sight for the blind,
07:32to set the oppressed free,
07:34to proclaim the year of the Lord's favour.
07:39Then he rolled up the scroll,
07:41gave it back to the attendant,
07:43and sat down.
07:44The eyes of everyone in the synagogue
07:47were fastened on him.
07:49He began by saying to them,
07:52Today, this scripture
07:54is fulfilled in your hearing.
07:58All spoke well of him,
08:00and were amazed at the gracious words
08:03that came from his lips.
08:05Isn't this Joseph's son?
08:07they asked.
08:09Jesus said to them,
08:11Surely you will quote this proverb to me,
08:14Physician, heal yourself.
08:17And you will tell me,
08:19Do here in your home town
08:21what we have heard
08:22that you did in Capernaum.
08:25Truly I tell you,
08:27he continued,
08:28no prophet is accepted
08:30in his home town.
08:32I assure you
08:33that there were many widows
08:35in Israel in Elijah's time,
08:37when the sky was shut
08:39for three and a half years,
08:41and there was a severe famine
08:42throughout the land.
08:44Yet Elijah
08:46was not sent to any of them,
08:49but to a widow
08:50in Zarephath,
08:51in the region of Sidon.
08:54And there were many in Israel
08:56with leprosy
08:57in the time of Elisha,
08:59the prophet.
09:00Yet not one of them
09:02was cleansed,
09:03only Naaman,
09:04the Syrian.
09:06All the people in the synagogue
09:09were furious when they heard this.
09:11They got up,
09:13drove him out of the town,
09:14and took him to the brow of the hill
09:17on which the town was built,
09:18in order to throw him off the cliff.
09:21But he walked right through the crowd
09:25and went on his way.
09:27As you start to read
09:29through Luke's Gospel,
09:31there's one key issue
09:32that we can note.
09:34Jesus has come
09:36and is living the life
09:37of the Israelites
09:39that the Israelites
09:40were called to live,
09:42but which they failed
09:43to achieve.
09:45First, we note that Jesus
09:47went to Egypt as a baby.
09:50Egypt is a picture of the world
09:53and of slavery to sin.
09:56Jesus comes out of Egypt
09:58like the Israelites did.
10:00The Israelites were baptised
10:02in the Red Sea,
10:04washed clean pictorially
10:05of the contamination
10:07of the world.
10:09But they failed to live
10:11according to the commands
10:13that were given to them.
10:15So the next generation,
10:17who would be obedient to God
10:19in conquering evil
10:20in the form of the Canaanites
10:22who were sacrificing
10:23their own children to idols,
10:25that generation was baptised
10:28into their new lives
10:29in the Promised Land
10:30as they passed through the Jordan.
10:35This was a symbolic baptism again
10:37because they passed through the Jordan
10:39on dry ground.
10:42Despite the fact
10:43that it was the season
10:44when the river
10:45was in full flood.
10:48Jesus too
10:49is symbolically baptised,
10:52but in a different sense.
10:54Jesus is baptised
10:56by full immersion,
10:57but not buffer
10:58the repentance of sins
11:00because he had none.
11:02Unlike the original Israelites
11:04passing through the Jordan
11:06into the Paris Land,
11:08nor like the rest of the people
11:09whom John the Baptist
11:11was baptising at that time,
11:13who were failing to live
11:15pure and holy lives.
11:18Jesus is baptised
11:20by full immersion
11:23symbolically
11:24to represent
11:27the sense that
11:28in the sense that
11:29he is making a connection
11:30with the people of Israel,
11:32a sinful nation
11:33who needed to repent.
11:35He is setting an example
11:37to them
11:38and to us.
11:41Then next you see
11:43how Jesus was tempted
11:44in the desert
11:46by Satan.
11:48We see how the three temptations
11:51he faced
11:52were similar
11:53to the temptations
11:54that the children of Israel
11:56faced
11:57as they came out of Egypt.
11:59The difference is
12:01that while
12:01Israel failed,
12:03Jesus triumphed
12:05in those same temptations.
12:09You will see
12:10how Jesus used
12:11scripture
12:11to rebuke
12:13Satan.
12:14And we can note
12:15that the need
12:16for us also
12:17to live by scripture
12:18in the way
12:19that Jesus did.
12:20We are to live
12:22by every word
12:23that proceeds
12:24from the mouth
12:25of God.
12:26We are not
12:27to make idols
12:28of the things
12:29of this world.
12:31We are not
12:32to put
12:32Lord God
12:33to the test
12:34as the Israelites
12:35did when they
12:36disobeyed him.
12:38Instead,
12:38we are to serve
12:40him faithfully
12:41according to
12:42his commands.
12:45So tonight
12:46as we come
12:46to Luke's Gospel
12:47and we look particularly
12:48at verses
12:4914 to 30,
12:51we find there
12:52another story
12:53in which there
12:54are strong links
12:55to the Old Testament
12:56story
12:57of Israel.
12:59Jesus is living
13:00out the life
13:01of the Old Testament
13:02Israelites
13:03should have lived.
13:06Briefly then,
13:07we'll look first
13:08at the context
13:09of this story.
13:10Then we'll look
13:11at the teaching
13:12of Jesus
13:12that leads
13:14to him being
13:14accepted
13:15by his own people.
13:16And finally,
13:18we will look
13:18at his teaching
13:19which leads
13:20to their rejection
13:22of him.
13:23So there first
13:24Jesus starts
13:26his ministry.
13:30The Jews
13:31in the time
13:31of Jesus
13:32seem to have
13:32lived mainly
13:33in two distinct
13:34areas.
13:35Judea in the
13:36south surrounding
13:37Jerusalem
13:38and the temple.
13:40This was where
13:40the Jews had settled
13:42when they returned
13:43from exile
13:44in Babylon
13:45as we read
13:46when we go
13:47through the book
13:48of Ezra
13:48and Nehemiah.
13:51But there was
13:52also a strong
13:52Jewish community
13:53in the west
13:55side of the
13:56Sea of Galilee.
13:58How this came
13:59about we don't
14:00actually know
14:00from scripture
14:01other than
14:02that it may
14:02have happened
14:03as a result
14:04of the expansion
14:05of the people
14:06of God
14:06during the
14:07Maccabean revolt
14:08against Greece.
14:10But Galilee
14:11had been part
14:12of the traditional
14:13land of Israel
14:14going back
14:15to the time
14:16when they took
14:17over the
14:17promised land
14:18under Joshua.
14:20The people
14:21who lived
14:22in this area
14:23were despised
14:24by those
14:25who lived
14:26in Judea.
14:27The Galileans
14:29were easily
14:29recognised
14:30by their accent
14:31just as Scousers
14:33and Geordies
14:34are in Britain
14:35today.
14:37When Joseph
14:38and Mary
14:39returned from
14:39Egypt
14:40they settled
14:41in the north
14:42to be away
14:42from Herod
14:43Archelaus.
14:44This was because
14:46people thought
14:46Archelaus
14:47was brutal
14:48perhaps even
14:50more brutal
14:50than his
14:51father Herod
14:52the Great
14:52who had
14:53tried to
14:54kill Jesus
14:55when he
14:56was a baby.
14:58So Jesus
14:59grew up
14:59in Nazareth
15:00in Galilee
15:01with a
15:02funny accent
15:03and when he
15:04returns from
15:05the desert
15:06where he'd
15:06been tempted
15:07by Satan
15:08Jesus
15:08starts his
15:09ministry.
15:11Piecing
15:12things together
15:13it is
15:14likely
15:14that his
15:15earthly
15:15father
15:16Joseph
15:16had died
15:17but that
15:18by this
15:18stage
15:19his
15:20brothers
15:20were old
15:21enough
15:21to take
15:22over the
15:22family
15:23business
15:23often
15:24described
15:25as being
15:25carpentry
15:26but it
15:27might have
15:28been something
15:28broader
15:29building
15:29odd jobbing
15:30a maker
15:31of things
15:32I've heard
15:32it described
15:33as
15:33but certainly
15:34just an
15:35ordinary
15:35tradesman.
15:38why Jesus
15:39did not
15:39start
15:40at this
15:41stage
15:41return to
15:42Nazareth
15:43and start
15:43his ministry
15:44there
15:44we don't
15:45know
15:45but it
15:46might be
15:46linked
15:46to what
15:47it says
15:47in verse
15:4824
15:48no prophet
15:50is accepted
15:51in his
15:51own town
15:52and so
15:54Jesus
15:54starts his
15:55ministry
15:55in the
15:56towns
15:56surrounding
15:57the sea
15:58of Galilee
15:59verse 14
16:01to 15
16:01Jesus
16:02returned
16:03to Galilee
16:04in the
16:05power of
16:06the Spirit
16:06and news
16:08about him
16:08spread
16:09through the
16:09whole
16:09countryside
16:10he was
16:11teaching
16:12in their
16:13synagogues
16:13and everyone
16:15praised him
16:17some
16:17commentators
16:18believe this
16:19may represent
16:20a year or
16:20so of
16:21Jesus
16:21early
16:22ministry
16:22and there
16:24are some
16:24key messages
16:25in those
16:26two verses
16:27first
16:28Jesus
16:29returned
16:30in the
16:30power
16:31of the
16:32Holy Spirit
16:33the Holy
16:34Spirit
16:35had come
16:35upon Jesus
16:36when he
16:37was baptized
16:37and at
16:38the start
16:39of the
16:39chapter
16:39we see
16:40how it
16:40was in
16:41the power
16:42of the
16:42Holy Spirit
16:43that he
16:44had gone
16:44into the
16:45desert
16:45to be
16:46tempted
16:46by the
16:47devil
16:48in verse
16:48one
16:50so we
16:51need to
16:51note
16:51Jesus
16:52need for
16:52the Holy
16:53Spirit
16:53just as
16:54Christians
16:55today
16:55similarly
16:56need
16:57the power
16:57of the
16:58Holy Spirit
16:58to guide
17:00and direct
17:01their lives
17:03second
17:04we note
17:05that the
17:06word about
17:06Jesus
17:07spread through
17:08the whole
17:08countryside
17:10if he'd
17:11gone to
17:11Judah
17:12his accent
17:13would probably
17:13have created
17:14a barrier
17:15but here in
17:16Galilee
17:17he is readily
17:18accepted
17:19and news
17:21of this
17:21new teacher
17:22starts to
17:23spread
17:26third
17:27we note
17:28how Jesus
17:28work
17:29centred
17:30on the
17:31synagogues
17:32what is a
17:33synagogue
17:35it was a
17:36meeting
17:36and consequently
17:37the place
17:38that they
17:38met
17:38also became
17:40known
17:40as a
17:41synagogue
17:42it's the
17:43same as
17:43the term
17:44church
17:44strictly
17:45speaking
17:45the church
17:46of Jesus
17:46Christ
17:47is the
17:48people
17:49but where
17:50do the
17:50people of
17:51God
17:51meet
17:51they meet
17:52at the
17:53church
17:53the
17:53building
17:53typically
17:54although
17:55some are
17:56house
17:57churches
17:57and some
17:58churches
17:58meet in
17:58community
17:59centres
18:00or schools
18:02the idea
18:03of the
18:03synagogue
18:04came from
18:05the exile
18:06in Babylon
18:07the exiles
18:08could not
18:08go to the
18:09temple in
18:09Jerusalem
18:10even before
18:11it was
18:11destroyed
18:12they were
18:13effectively
18:13under house
18:14arrest
18:15they only
18:16had the
18:16freedom
18:16of the
18:17place
18:18that they
18:18lived in
18:19the Jews
18:20in exile
18:21band
18:22together
18:22to worship
18:23God
18:24separate
18:24from the
18:25worship
18:25of the
18:25other
18:26pagan
18:26gods
18:27worshipped
18:27all
18:28around
18:28them
18:28if there
18:30were
18:30ten
18:30Jewish
18:31men
18:31meeting
18:33together
18:33that
18:34constituted
18:35a synagogue
18:36so gradually
18:37it developed
18:38into a
18:38situation
18:39where a
18:39synagogue
18:40a meeting
18:41of people
18:41would build
18:42a synagogue
18:43a building
18:44a place
18:45for them
18:46to meet
18:46so every
18:48Sabbath
18:48Jews
18:49would meet
18:50in their
18:50synagogues
18:51to worship
18:51to pray
18:52and to
18:53read their
18:53scriptures
18:55these
18:55scriptures
18:56were extremely
18:57expensive
18:57rare
18:58handwritten
18:59scrolls
19:00copies of
19:01the Torah
19:01the writings
19:02of the
19:02prophets
19:03and the
19:04wisdom
19:04literature
19:05and when
19:06the exiles
19:07returned
19:07to Judea
19:08they
19:09continued
19:10to meet
19:10locally
19:11in their
19:12synagogues
19:12because for
19:13many the
19:14journey to
19:14the temple
19:15could not
19:16be a
19:17weekly
19:17activity
19:18because of
19:19the distance
19:21but even
19:22in Jerusalem
19:23synagogues
19:24were set
19:24up
19:24people from
19:26particular
19:26communities
19:27would meet
19:27there
19:28when they
19:28came to
19:29Jerusalem
19:29or perhaps
19:30to listen
19:31to a
19:31particular
19:31rabbi
19:32away from
19:33the hustle
19:33and bustle
19:34of the
19:35temple
19:35business
19:36indeed
19:37I've seen
19:37it suggested
19:38that there
19:39may have
19:39been as
19:40many as
19:40a hundred
19:41synagogues
19:42in Jerusalem
19:43at the
19:44time of
19:44Jesus
19:46but it
19:47is to
19:47the synagogue
19:48that Jesus
19:49goes
19:50it was
19:52his established
19:52practice
19:53each week
19:54to go
19:55to the
19:55synagogue
19:56and later
19:58Paul
19:58would seek
19:59out the
19:59local synagogue
20:00wherever he
20:01went on
20:02his missionary
20:03journeys
20:03he always
20:04offered
20:05the gospel
20:06first
20:06to the
20:07Jews
20:09Jesus
20:09goes to
20:10the synagogue
20:11to meet
20:11with those
20:12who want
20:13to worship
20:13God
20:14and so
20:15fourthly
20:16he preaches
20:16and teaches
20:17in the
20:18synagogues
20:19he is supporting
20:21the collective
20:21worship
20:22of God's
20:23people
20:23he is endorsing
20:25this way
20:26of life
20:29a second
20:30main point
20:30Jesus
20:31is accepted
20:33at Nazareth
20:36Nazareth
20:37the town
20:38where Jesus
20:38was brought
20:39up was
20:39probably just
20:40a village
20:40without
20:41walls
20:42probably
20:42about
20:43two to
20:44four hundred

21:04perhaps people
21:05in the
21:06wool trade
21:06an insignificant
21:08place
21:10remarkably
21:11perhaps there
21:12are other
21:12bigger towns
21:13and cities
21:14in bible
21:15times
21:15that are
21:16never mentioned
21:17for example
21:18just four miles
21:20away from
21:20Nazareth
21:21was a bustling

21:23upper class
21:24city
21:24sephorus
21:26a roman
21:27administrative

21:28but jesus
21:30seems to
21:30bypass
21:31sephorus
21:33instead
21:33he goes
21:34to his
21:35own
21:35people
21:35the people
21:36he grew
21:37up among
21:38perhaps it
21:39was just
21:39a visit
21:40home
21:40to see
21:41his mum
21:41and his
21:42brothers
21:42and sisters
21:43he cannot
21:44ignore
21:45his own

25:07this

25:08just
25:09like
25:09we
25:09see
25:10in
25:10the
25:10story
25:11of
25:11Nehemiah
25:12as he
25:12returns

25:19comes on
25:19those who
25:20are doing
25:20evil
25:21there was
25:22a rebuke
25:22punishment
25:23banishment
25:24and we
25:25see from
25:25revelation
25:26the same
25:27will happen
25:28when
25:28Jesus
25:29returns
25:29but the
25:31difference
25:31will be
25:32that these
25:32punishments
25:33will be
25:34eternal
25:34rather than
25:35temporal
25:36judgments
25:36that
25:37Nehemiah
25:38brought
25:38on the
25:38people
25:39who
25:39had
25:39failed
25:40to
25:40live
25:41according
25:41to
25:42God's
25:42command
25:42the
25:44difference
25:44is
25:44because
25:45Jesus
25:46lives
25:47eternally
25:49and that
25:50links
25:50with the
25:51additional
25:51line
25:51quoted
25:52here
25:52at the

26:06comes
26:07in a
26:07completely
