0:00.0	Pray the Word with David Platt is a resource from Radical.net.
0:04.9	Second Chronicles, chapter 30, verses 23 through 27.
0:09.8	Then the whole assembly agreed together to keep the feast for another seven days,
0:15.3	so they kept it for another seven days with gladness.
0:19.1	For Hezekiah, king of Judah, gave the assembly a thousand bowls,
0:23.6	and seven thousand sheep for offerings. And the princes gave the assembly a thousand bowls,
0:29.4	and ten thousand sheep. And the priests consecrated themselves in great numbers. The whole
0:35.8	assembly of Judah and the priests and the Levites and the whole assembly
0:40.8	that came out of Israel and the sojourners who came out of the land of Israel and the sojourners who
0:45.9	lived in Judah rejoiced. So there was great joy in Jerusalem. For since the time of Solomon,

1:09.3	I read this scene here about all of this joy and gladness, in sacrifice, and worship,
1:20.6	and obedience in Jerusalem, like had not been heard in years and generations because this picture is a reminder of the joy
1:32.3	and the gladness that we celebrate today, like on Christmas Day, the fact that the God whose holy habitation is in heaven has come to you and to me to this weary world.
1:50.1	And he has come specifically to pay the price for sin and sinners like you and me.
2:00.0	He has come to save us. That's his name. Jesus name means he will
2:04.2	save his people from their sins. This whole picture in Second Chronicles chapter 30 of all these different
2:09.9	sacrifices for sin and the joy that brings the full and final sacrifice for sin has been made. And so we have reason to celebrate
2:21.2	today that Jesus has come, that Jesus has lived the life we couldn't live, died the death,
2:28.2	we deserve to die. And he has conquered the enemy we could not conquer sin and death itself.
