Good morning, and join me, if
you would, in the book of Numbers, chapter 18. The book of Numbers,
chapter 18. On your way there, would you
stop by Luke, chapter 9. I'm so thankful for being able
to sit in the Bible class this morning, and I have several pages
of notes that were given. And one of them, as he spoke,
Brother Mike spoke of that transfiguration. And in the book of Luke chapter
9, we have the conversation that went on between the Lord and
Moses and Elijah. And it tells us here in the book
of Luke chapter 9 verse 30, And behold, there talked with him
in his glorified state two men, which were Moses and Elias, or
Elijah, who appeared in glory and spake of his decease. Only one time in the New Testament
is that Greek word used or translated, and it's right here. And if you
look it up in Greek, it's E-X-O-D-U-S. Exodus, his exodus. that he should accomplish at
Jerusalem. Now I just wanted to say that because we spend
quite a bit of our time in the Old Testament and the prophet
Moses and all the prophets and all the Psalms had that same
summation about the gospel. They spoke of Christ, they preached
of Christ, they declared Christ. Now they may not have known him
by that term because it's a Greek term, but they knew him by the
Messiah. the Hebrew term. So as we go back to the book
of Numbers chapter 18, we just want to pick up what the gospel
has to say about our Lord and Savior out of the book of Numbers. And in this passage of scripture,
sometimes you just are overwhelmed by what you find. I just can't
imagine what it would be like to be out in the middle of the
desert and come up on a spring of good water. and be able to
just get down in there and get all that good, cold, clean spring
water after you've just traveled through the desert. Well, a lot
of people look at the Old Testament as a desert, but we're thankful
that we can come up on a spring. And here in our reading today
in the book of Numbers chapter 18, we have a wonderful spring. It just shares with us some of
the wonderful blessings that we have in Christ. And it is
here in the book of Numbers chapter 18, and I want to start reading
with verse 8. Numbers chapter 18, beginning
with verse 8, and we have these words recorded for us. And sometimes
as we read the Old Testament, we need to ask ourselves, what
does this mean to me? Because it's left for us. Now
if it wasn't of any value, if it wasn't of any benefit, if
it wasn't any good, we wouldn't have it. But since it is here,
there is spiritual benefits for us. I appreciated what was mentioned
about that passage over in the book of 1 Corinthians, and Romans
brings it out too, that if we do not have a regenerated mind,
we're just beating the air, trying to come up with some conclusions
about the word of God. But the Holy Spirit reveals unto
us the good blessings of the gospel in all the word. I'm reminded
from time to time that that is all that the Apostle Peter, the
Lord Jesus, Paul ever preached from was the Old Testament. They
did not have it as we do. In the book of Numbers chapter
18 verse 8, the word of the Lord says, and the Lord spake unto
Aaron, Behold, I also have given thee the charge of mine heave
offerings of all the hallowed things of the children of Israel.
Unto thee have I given them by reason of the anointing and to
thy sons by an ordinance forever. This shall be thine of the most
holy things reserved from the fire. Every oblation of theirs,
every meat offering of theirs, and every sin offering of theirs,
and every trespass offering of theirs, which they shall render
unto me shall be most holy for thee and for thy sons. Not every
sacrifice was totally consumed by fire. Some of it was just
parts and the meat that was left over was dedicated to Aaron and
to his sons and families that belonged to them. That was how
they were taken care of. Remember when they go into the
land, they're not going to be given a part of a piece of property. All the other tribes were going
to be given pieces of property, but they were going to be given
some cities, but that they were taken care of. If we go back
over to the book of Genesis, we find out that they paid tithes
in Abraham, by Abraham, to Melchizedek. They had already had their tithes
taken care of. They had already paid what the
Lord was going to require out of the rest of the Israelites. And that is just how God does
his business with us. All that we owed had already
been taken care of, had been taken care of in Christ, would
be taken care of by Christ at the cross, is all placed upon
Him. All right, as we travel a little
further into this, verse 10, and the most holy place shalt
thou eat, and it, every male shall eat it, and shall be holy
unto thee. And this is thine, the heave
offering, and their gift, and the wave offerings of the children
of Israel. I have given them unto thee,
and to thy sons, and to thy daughters, with thee, by statute forever,
every one that is clean, and thy house shall eat of it. Now
notice verse 12 and verse 13. All the best of the oil. and all the best of the wine.
And of the wheat, the first fruits of them which they shall offer
unto the Lord, them have I given thee. And whatsoever is the first
ripe in the land, which they shall bring unto the Lord shall
be thine. Every one that is clean in thy
house shall eat of it. everything devoted in Israel
shall be thine." As I read that I said, that was some gift. The best oil, all the best of
the oil, and all the best of the wine, and all the first reaped
wheat. Well, I know this about those
promises that God made to Aaron and to his family, that God fulfilled
him. Because we read in the scriptures
that not one good word that he ever promised to Israel did he
not keep. We've read this just recently,
but I'd like to review just a little bit. Turn with me to the book
of Joshua, if you would, Joshua chapter 21. In Joshua chapter
21, we have these words and Joshua was a true witness of this. He
was one that left Egypt. He's one that entered into the
promised land. He's one that led Israel all
the rest of the days of his life. And as he comes to the close
of his life, he looks back over the whole history of Israel since
they were released from Egypt and looked at that and he says,
I've got a conclusion to make. I've got a statement to make
about all of that and it's found here in the book of Joshua chapter
21. Joshua chapter 21 verse 44. Would
you read this with me? And then we're going to read
another passage here in Joshua that's almost like it. Joshua
chapter 21 and verse 44. And he says, the Lord gave them
rest round about according to all that he swear unto their
fathers. He made a promise, and now we
have Joshua looking at it and saying, everything he said is
kept. Not one good thing did he ever
promise did he not give to them. Goes on to say here, and there
stood not a man of all their enemies before them. The Lord
delivered all their enemies into their hand. Verse 45, there failed
not ought, Not one, not one syllable, not one letter of all the promises
that God gave to Israel did he not keep. There fail not ought
of any good thing which the Lord has spoken unto the house of
Israel all came to pass. Now when he said that to Aaron
and to his sons, I'm giving you the best of the oil, I'm giving
you the best of the wine, and I'm giving you the first fruit
of all the wheat. God kept that promise. And you know what? He's still
doing it. From a spiritual vantage point, He's still giving His
people all the best. He holds back nothing. All right,
another passage here in the book of Joshua. Joshua chapter 23
and verse 14. Joshua's coming close to the
end of his life. And in Joshua chapter 23 and
verse 14, we have these words, and behold this day, I'm going
the way of all the earth. Now he'd been saying, he could
have said that for quite a while because you know, we're all there.
We're starting the end of our life. And yet he says, this day
I'm going the way of all the earth. He says, I'm approaching
my final days. And I want to recap the history
of Israel as I've seen it from the time we left Egypt to today. He says there, you know, in all
your hearts and in all your souls, if you sit down and recount,
if you go over it, You may grumble and gripe like your fathers did,
but you sit down and think about it. You'll find out that God
has kept every promise he ever said he would keep. There failed
not one good thing of all the good things which the Lord your
God spake concerning you. All are come to pass unto you
and not one thing hath failed thereof. Now, what is that for
me? It is just God keeps his promises. God has never gone back on his
promise. God promised Israel. God promised
Aaron and his children all of the best of the oil, the best
of the wine, and the firstfruits of all the wheat. You will be
given the very best. All that are clean in your household
will get to participate too. Well, we find out that there
were certain that were not clean. They were certain that were not
You know, just because we say we're clean, if the Lord hasn't
cleaned us up, we're not clean. We eat whatever we say. And Solomon
said the same thing about when he dedicated the temple, everything
God ever promised has always taken place. I like what we read
in 2 Kings chapter 10 and verse 10. When we read this, 2 Kings
chapter 10 and verse 10, would you turn there with me? Know now, I want you to know
this. You know it, but I want you to
know it. Know now that there shall fall under the earth nothing
of the word of the Lord. You know, sometimes it looks
like it's just being fallen out on, nothing's happening. The Lord said not one word has
fallen to this earth. The prophet was given these words
that the word of God, it accomplishes exactly where unto he has sent
it. So here we have that promise
made here in the book of second Kings chapter 10 and verse 10.
that there shall fall into the earth nothing of the word of
the Lord, which the Lord spake concerning the house of Ahab.
Now if he spake concerning the house of Ahab, who was a very
bad house, what could he say about the house of the Lord,
which is his children? So he continues to share with
us throughout the scriptures. And as he did to Aaron there
in Numbers chapter 18, I'm gonna give you the best. Now, let's
go back over there for just a moment and notice a couple of things
else. Just underline them. In the book
of Numbers chapter 18, verse nine. The book of Numbers chapter
18, verse nine, we have these words. Numbers chapter 18, verse
nine, it says, Thus, this shall be thine of
the most holy things. This shall be thine. Verse 11,
and this is thine. And verse 12, all the best of
the oil and all the best of the wine and of the wheat, the first
fruits of them which shall offer them have I given thee. And in verse 14 of the same passage,
everything devoted in Israel shall be thine. four times in
a very short distance, the Lord says, this is yours. This is
yours, and this is yours. Well, when we come to the gospel
age, and the gospel has always been declared, Abel heard the
gospel. Abel believed God. It was counted
unto him for righteousness. Abel understood what was going
on. Abel understood there's a Messiah coming. Abel had that taught
to him by the Holy Spirit. We find here that as God promised
to the children of Aaron, Aaron to his children, all this belongs
to you. We find out that God has made
the same promises in the New Testament to the church, which
also applied to every saved person in the Old Testament. We find
in the book of Revelation chapter 1. Join me there in this great
book of Revelation chapter 1. It shares with us about his gift
to the church, his gift to us, as he did to Aaron. He made him
a priest to his sons. They made him priests. And here
in the book of Revelation chapter one and verse five, God shares
through his minister John. He says, and from Jesus Christ,
who is the faithful witness and the first begotten of the dead
and the prince of the kings of the earth unto him that loved
us and washed us from our sins in his own blood and hath made
us kings and priests. I think that would have been
better translated king priests. He's made us King Priests. That's
what he does for the church. He makes everyone that he causes
the grace of God to shine upon King Priests. He goes on to tell
us there in that same verse of scripture in verse six. King
Priests unto God and his father to him be glory and dominion
forever and ever. Amen. Well, the Bible has much
to say about these blessings, and he has much to say about
the best of the oil, the best of the wine, and the first fruits
of all the grain. That means everything, the best,
every bit of the best of the oil and every bit of the best
of the wine. Now we could look at the figure that those things
represent, oil, we find that's the Holy Spirit, we find wine,
that's what Melchizedek brought out for Abraham bread and wine. The gospel brought out to God.
We have the every bit of the Holy Spirit and every bit of
the gospel and every bit of the first fruits of the grain, the
bread of life. We have it all. Well, let's just
go to a passage of scripture that shares with us a whole bunch
of it. Not all of it, but we're going
to go and look at the best that we have here in the scripture.
And that's to the book of Ephesians chapter one. Would you turn there
with me? In Ephesians chapter one, we're going to begin reading.
We should read the whole chapter, but some of that you're going
to have to do as homework. The book of Ephesians, as we
think about what was given to Aaron and to his sons and to
his family, I'm giving you the best of the oil, I'm giving you
the best of the wine, and I'm giving you the first fruits of
all the grain. That goes to you. Well, here
in the book of Ephesians chapter one, the apostle Paul was led
to write this wonderful book to the church of the saints at
Ephesus and say, this is what God is to us. This is what God
has given us. This is the best of the oil.
This is the best of the wine. And this is the first fruits
of all the wheat that was given to Aaron over there. Now just
think for a moment. If God was going to do that for
Aaron under the law, just think what he's going to do for the
church under grace. I don't drink much oil. And I don't drink much wine.
I do love bread though. But when it comes to the spiritual
blessings, God said, I've given you every spiritual blessing. every here in the book of Ephesians
chapter one what glorious words are written for the saints in verse three blessed be the
God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who hath blessed us with
all the wine all the oil and all the first fruits of the grain
What's he say here? I have blessed you with all spiritual
blessings in heavenly places in Christ. I'm giving you everything. There will be nothing held back. And in fact, all that was ever
written about God keeping his promises is under this. By an oath, he could swear by
no greater. He swore by himself, I will give
you all of this. This is yours. This belongs to
the church. By no works, by no merit, only
by free grace and God's great will does he give this to the
church. And here we read in verse four,
he starts to give to us some of the essence of these great
blessings. What it is to have all the oil,
and what it is to have all the wine, and what it is to have
the first fruits of the grain. What it means to the church today
to have these things. He said in verse four, according
as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world.
And you know, the church delights in that. This is the best oil
I've ever had. This is the best wine I've ever
had. And this is the best first fruits that's ever been given.
And all the good fruit that God had ever promised Aaron in the
Old Testament is mine from a spiritual standpoint. and I have every
spiritual blessing. I read in his word and I can
delight in his word that he took care of a problem that I could
not take care of. We are all in the problem as
children of Adam and we are without help and without hope and without
God and we have a mind that can't comprehend and we have a spirit
that is dead and God comes along and reconciles us and makes us
new in Christ Jesus and as a result of that, Okay, you have all the
best oil and you have all the best wine and you have the first
fruits of all the grain given to you. And he sums it up by
saying, well, let's just start, let's just delineate, let's enumerate,
let's go across the board and say, let's see what you have.
And Paul was used to write, he chose you in Christ before the
foundation of the world. Unable to make the choice on
your own. You couldn't even see that there was a choice. The
only choice we had was death. And yet he says, I'll take care
of that for my church because I've already promised the very
best of the very best of the very best. According as he has
chosen us before the foundation of the
world that we should be holy and without blame before him
in love." Now, I don't understand completely what it is to be holy,
because I'm holy as he is holy, but I still can't comprehend
it. But you know what? I really appreciate that I'm
no longer in the blame, that that's been taken care of. What
does it say there? He said we're holy and without
blame. He's taken care of the blame
that was against us. The sin that was against us,
the charge of sin against us, he's taken care of it. And that's
all the best oil, all the best wine, and all the first fruits
of all the grain. I've given you everything. All
right, let's just go on down here and look at this. In verse
five, having predestinated us unto the adoption of children.
Having predestinated us. You know, this goes before Genesis
1-1. This goes before what we find
in the book of Genesis. Before God gave us some history
to look at. I like the old meaning of history. His story. God's story. History, before
history. He said, I've predestinated you
unto the adoption of children. Strangers from the covenant of
promise, but I have adopted you. I put you in my life. That's
a wonderful thing about adoption. The choice is on purpose. Many people have children, but
adoption means I chose you. And that's what God did. He chose
his people before the foundation of the world. having predestinated
us to predetermine, to decide beforehand, God decreeing from
eternity, foreordination, appointed beforehand. God took care of
that all, knowing full well that we were incapable of doing that
for ourselves. We would never turn over an automobile
to a two-year-old. We'd never turn over an automobile
to an eight-year-old. It's just out of their league.
I remember a daughter of mine starting, oh, putting the car,
it was left running. She put it in reverse and back
through a church building. Tore a whole wall out. Now, we wish that that hadn't
happened. It's irresponsible on our part. We didn't turn the
engine off. But you know what? All the problems that we face
by nature were taken care of by Almighty God when He said,
I've done this before the world began. I'm giving you the best
oil and you didn't even have to squeeze the olives. I'm giving
you the best wine and you didn't squeeze the grapes. And I'm giving
you the first fruit and you didn't even have to go out and gather
it. All of it's taken care of. He has predestinated. Now, Tuesday, Nancy's planning
to fly to Houston and into Jackson, Mississippi. And you know what? When you make the ticket, that's
your plans. We would never get on an airplane,
I don't think, when they said, we don't know where we're going.
I don't know where we're going to end up. We'll go to the fuel
runs out. We may do that on a lark. We
may do that for fun. But we're not going to do that
when we expect it to be in a place. So we want a predestinated flight. Well, that's what God took care
of before the foundation of the world. And then he says in verse
six, some more of this best of the oil and the best of the wine
and the first fruits of all of the grain and the first ripe
fruit. He says in verse six, to the
praise of the glory of his grace. Oh, how this comes into play,
how this is so necessary. The only reason for him choosing
a people is his sovereign grace and his goodwill. And nothing from us. To the praise,
all of this is to the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein
he hath made us accepted in the beloved, his grace. I remember
going to the deacon of the church when the Lord saved me and telling
him, you know, I really can't describe what's happened to me,
but I can tell you this, I know more about grace than I've ever
known. I used to spend hours looking in Strong's and Thayer's
and all the other, trying to come to a definition of grace.
And it was just, it was just not being able to be described
until the Lord saved me. I have no more about grace and
I still can't explain it. It's God absolute unmerited favor
to people that are angry with him, hateful towards him. That's
grace. We might be gracious to people,
but not many of them that are spitting in our face or swearing
at us or trying to run us over with a car. But God did that
for his people and they're trying to do all of that to him. Verse
seven. In whom? In whom we have redemption. Now this word is a word that
we don't talk about much because it goes back to slave days. That's
where this word came from. It goes back to slavery. It goes
back to being a slave. This word redemption is the payment
of ransom. Liberation procured by a payment
of ransom. This word was used with slaves
when someone came and purchased them and bought them out of bondage
and brought them out of that life and gave them a new life.
This is a wonderful word when it comes to our salvation to
have ransom, redemption. It was paid, we have redemption
through his blood. The forgiveness of sins according
to the riches of his grace. Now that is all the best oil. and all the best wine and all
the first fruits of the grain. What does he say there? According
to the riches of his grace. There's no end to it. It is ever
abounding. Where sin abounded, grace did
much more abound. Here we have the greatest, the
most highest, the exalted grace of God, procuring redemption
for all of his people, paying completely and totally for all
their sin. No one can tell anyone that knows
the gospel that you'll have to answer for that sin, because
if we do, we'll never see God. If we have to answer for one,
even the slightest, most least infraction, God has made it so
that when we stand before him, there's no condemnation to them
that are in Christ. He's not going to be a historian
bringing up the past. The past has been taken care
of. We stand before him clean, without spot or without wrinkle.
There will be nothing that will be charged to our account. For
it is he that justifieth. And so we have full and complete
redemption. It doesn't mean that we don't
mourn over our sin in our life right now, but there will be
no charge held against us. Brother Mike brought out there
in the book of 1 Corinthians chapter 15, when we shall be
like him, there will be no charge against us. There'll only be
a welcome. Welcome to the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation
of the world. Enter, enter, enter. Everyone
that's there on that side will be welcomed into the kingdom
of God. Nobody, oh, you got a little
fuzz right there. We're gonna have to take care of that before.
We're gonna put you in this place over here for a short time. No,
no, that's not gonna happen. In verse eight, my wherein hath
abounded That word abounded is super abound in quantity and
quality. Super abounded in quantity and
quality. More than we can imagine. You
know, the same word is used in Matthew chapter 14. Would you
join me in Matthew chapter 14 and verse 20? Matthew chapter
14 and verse 20. This is when the Lord fed a bunch
of people. And they, everybody is full to
capacity. They'd been invited to a meal
that they didn't have to pay for. All you can eat. And you know what that means?
They overate. But notice this. Matthew chapter
14, verse 20. And they did all eat and were
filled They took up the fragments that remained 12 baskets full. And that word fragments means
over much, abounded. This is what abounded over the
fact of his turning that little bit into so much. And all of
these people, 5,000 men at one time, plus women and children,
all ate to their capacity. And this is what's left over.
It also mentions in the book of Luke the same thing. It is
what was to spare. They ate and what was left over
to spare. You know what that means to us?
Where sin abounded, grace did much more abound. It covers everything. I'm giving you the best of the
oil, the best of the wine, and all the first fruits of the grain.
I'm giving you all the Holy Spirit, I'm giving you all of the gospel,
and I'm giving you all of the Son of God for a ransom for you. Verse nine of the book of Ephesians
chapter one. Verse nine of Ephesians chapter
one, we have these words that are so glorious. Having made
known unto us. That's the first time we got
to see light. It's the first time we got to see the world
as it really is. It's the first thing that God
does for us. Having made known unto you. We've been taught of God and
everyone that is taught of God is brought to Jesus Christ. If
we're not taught of God, we will not come. But when we're taught
of God, we will come. Everyone that is taught of God
shall come and made known unto us. What? The mystery of his
will. What is the mystery of his will?
The gospel. Gospel hid from so many, but
made known. under the church. They are permitted
to see. Recently I was asked, what was
different when the Lord saved you? You know, the only thing
I can say is everything. The Bible was a totally different
book. God was a totally different God.
Sin was horrific. Heaven was wonderful. Hell was
right for me. The only people I've ever been
around that truly believed that God had every right to send people
to hell are those who deserved it, and that's us. We deserve
that. And yet, God in his mercy delivered
us from sin and all the consequences of it, hath made known unto us
the mystery of his will. Notice this, according to his
good pleasure which he has purposed in himself. All of this is in
God's good purpose. All of it is in God's good plan. You know we read over there in
the book of Acts chapter 2 that he was delivered Delivered by
the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God. When was that? Before
the foundation of the world. He was already delivered. He's
already a lamb slain from the foundation where he's delivered
by the counsel of God in the covenant of grace. The Messiah
was delivered. in the covenant of grace delivered
to carry out God's eternal purpose and lay down his life a ransom
for many. And therefore we have all the
best of the oil, the best of the wine, and all of the first
fruits of the grain. God making known unto the children,
Adam, made known unto us his will,
the mystery of his will. by preaching of the gospel, by
the illumination of the Holy Spirit, made known unto the church,
the gospel, the whole doctrine of grace and salvation by Christ. I know a lot of people that had
the doctrines of grace. They were convinced of it. I
can't tell you how many people have asked me, when did you see
the doctrines of grace? Well, in religion, I saw the
doctrines of grace and became a strong agitator about it. You
know, salvation makes us mellow. Salvation takes the argument
out. Salvation is a declaration. The
gospel of God's free grace is a declaration. He makes known
unto us the mystery of God and Christ and the mystery of the
gospel of God and man put together in a glorious manner that he
alone could lay down his life for ransom for many. He tells
us that there's a union between Christ and man, God's internal
call, the mystery. And then in verse 10 of this
passage of scripture, that in the dispensation of the fullness
of times, he might gather together in one all things in Christ. Might gather together the elect
from the four corners of the world into one body. And there's complete and full
agreement that he is the best of the oil, the best of the wine,
and the best of the first fruits that are given. We heard read
over there in the book of Genesis chapter 15, as we look here in
verse 11, in whom also we have obtained an inheritance. I am
thy exceeding great reward. It takes care of the rewards
issue. The gospel takes care of all that. It's not trying
to outdo anybody. It's not trying to gain a position.
It's not trying to, you'll get rewarded for that. The Lord's
already taken care of that. Welcome, come, you blessed are
my father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation
of the world. And to learn that he predestinated
the people according to his purpose, And he declares all his works
from all time as his will, purposed in his will. We read over in
the book of James, would you join me in James chapter one?
As we find even our brother James was given this message, James
chapter one and verse 17. Here it says, every, every good
gift, all the best of the wine, all the best of the oil, all
the first fruits of the grain. Every good gift and every perfect
gift is from above. What does that mean? Faith? Repentance? Glorification? All of the spiritual
gifts are from above. We don't dig them up. They are
dropped on us. They're placed in us. Every good
gift and every perfect gift is from above. Drop down. From the Father of Lights. Now
here's what we have. And since I do this, I'm the
one that there is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. I
will, I have promised, I will give every spiritual blessing. The Lord spake unto Aaron and
says, you know, there's three to six million people out here
and you know what they're gonna do for you? All the best of the
oil. You're not gonna have to squeeze
out one olive. All the best of the wine, you're not gonna have
to squeeze out one grape. And all the best of the first
fruits of the grain, you're not gonna have to harvest one kernel. It will all be taken care of
for you. I will make sure of it. I'll
promise it. I will give it. As we read over
