Summary

But we also know of the perfect ruler, the Lord Jesus Christ, that would come, and how Jesus lived the perfect righteous life and how that righteous life would be credited to David. That's just, that's just the reverse, that's so often we can be tempted to think that I don't know what I'm doing, but I must be doing something right because, boy, my life seems to be really going good, right? And we know that Christ is wisdom Christ is wisdom from above and do those do those modifiers work is Christ pure yes is he peaceable gentle open to reason which means easily obeying and compliant think of how he prayed in the garden before going to the cross he prayed sweating blood if if it is your will take this cup let it pass and if it's your will bring it on he was complying he was obedient to the father full of mercy of course is Christ full of good fruits is he impartial is he sincere. And you come back to Christ, and you come back to his purpose for being born, and you come back to his perfect life, and you come back to what the prophets had said about this man, and it's not all done in one conversation. And then if we go over to first Peter, so you're going to keep turning to the right, you're gonna get through all of Paul's letters, you're going to get through the book of Hebrews and James and then you're going to find first Peter and we're going to first Peter three, verse 15, where halfway through the verse he writes, always be ready to make your defense to anyone who demands from you and accounting for the hope that is in you. We know at our heart we are not likable because of our sin and we've tried to put forth the facade before others around us so they will like us so they will approve of us but we also try to put a facade before the Lord so he will like us and so he will approve of us and just like the the Pharisee and the tax collector who came before the Lord praying and the Pharisee says I am so grateful that I'm not like this sinner because I do all these things well and right.
