WEBVTT 00:02.490 --> 00:07.670 In the name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, we are going to read 00:07.670 --> 00:09.950 the Holy Scriptures. 00:12.210 --> 00:16.630 Continuing in this second part of the Testimony of Christ in my life, 00:17.550 --> 00:22.950 under the same name as it has been known, and many of you have already read, 00:23.730 --> 00:25.370 the series of Alberto. 00:26.130 --> 00:34.630 Under this same series, we have discussed why I came to be a Roman Catholic, 00:35.510 --> 00:37.930 how I came to be a Roman Catholic. 00:38.890 --> 00:44.530 At this time, we have, according to the same word of Jesus Christ that I received 00:44.530 --> 00:50.770 in the days of my conversion and salvation in Christ, according to the book of 00:50.770 --> 00:56.010 Hebrews, chapter 8, the Message and Testimony of Christ in my life, 00:56.430 --> 00:57.130 at this time. 00:57.910 --> 01:00.550 Chapter 8 of the book of Hebrews. 01:00.930 --> 01:02.630 Let us read the word of God. 01:03.810 --> 01:12.210 So, the summary of what has been said is, we have such a pontiff who sat at the 01:12.210 --> 01:19.090 right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, minister of the sanctuary and of 01:19.090 --> 01:24.570 that true tabernacle that the Lord sat, and not man. 01:25.170 --> 01:32.650 Because every pontiff is put to offer presents and sacrifices, so it is 01:32.650 --> 01:39.550 necessary that also this, referring to Jesus Christ, had something to offer. 01:40.380 --> 01:50.030 So, if he were on earth, Jesus, he would not yet be a priest, having still 01:50.030 --> 01:56.070 the priests who offer the presents according to the law, which serve as 01:56.070 --> 02:03.570 forestry and shade of heavenly things, as was answered to Moses when the 02:03.570 --> 02:04.350 tabernacle had to be finished. 02:04.350 --> 02:12.810 Look, it says, do all things according to the law that has been shown to you in the 02:12.810 --> 02:13.210 mountain. 02:13.530 --> 02:21.350 And the great divine admonition is, do all things as you have seen in the 02:21.350 --> 02:25.050 mountain, according to the law that has been shown to you. 02:25.270 --> 02:28.190 In other words, no more, no less. 02:29.570 --> 02:36.170 It is precisely the base and root of the religious and spiritual conflict of my 02:36.170 --> 02:39.970 life, which came to take place in that same dilemma. 02:40.570 --> 02:49.070 How far and when I, as a Catholic and priest, was doing, according to what God 02:49.070 --> 02:55.530 had shown, not only to Moses, but to his own apostles, and had later manifested in 02:55.530 --> 02:57.470 the same person of Jesus Christ. 02:57.470 --> 03:02.430 From Moses, passing through the prophets, reaching the birth of Jesus, and his 03:02.430 --> 03:10.010 ministry, as well as his crucifixion, death and resurrection, and then in the 03:10.010 --> 03:14.570 establishment of the same Church of Christ, in the days of the feast of 03:14.570 --> 03:15.070 Pentecost. 03:16.410 --> 03:23.450 It was in all that trajectory and biblical journey that I began to live this great 03:23.450 --> 03:23.890 dilemma. 03:23.890 --> 03:30.550 The dilemma of how far, as we said in the first part of the testimony of Christ in 03:30.550 --> 03:36.350 my life, how far I was going to incline to one side or the other, or I was going to 03:36.350 --> 03:42.250 remain in Scripture, in tradition or in the magisterium, or both and the Bible, 03:42.570 --> 03:48.890 as I had already responded to it since my childhood, and religious and priestly 03:48.890 --> 03:48.890 preparation. 03:50.330 --> 03:52.850 Magisterium, tradition and Bible. 03:53.890 --> 04:01.050 Already in this process of conversion, tradition is going to be on one side, 04:01.470 --> 04:03.250 the magisterium is going to be on the other. 04:03.810 --> 04:11.950 And more than I was answered, not only to the fact of why I became a Catholic, 04:12.410 --> 04:21.110 the Word of God begins to clarify to me why I must stop being a Catholic and a 04:21.110 --> 04:24.250 priest to become a Christian. 04:25.250 --> 04:30.210 In these two stages, in this hour, we are going to contemplate, in this 04:30.210 --> 04:34.190 second stage especially of the testimony, we are going to contemplate, not only to 04:34.190 --> 04:39.930 hear and not only to experience, but to see, to contemplate how that 04:39.930 --> 04:42.930 experience took place. 04:44.130 --> 04:48.730 And we are going to do it in the order in which the Holy Spirit brought me to 04:48.730 --> 04:51.290 conviction by the Word of God. 04:51.550 --> 04:53.710 Glory to the name of Jesus Christ. 04:54.830 --> 05:00.490 It is the faith that comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. 05:01.070 --> 05:06.170 As that faith was coming closer to me, so that I could believe my Savior, 05:06.690 --> 05:13.410 in what He said, in what He offered me, in what He did for me even, on the cross, 05:13.770 --> 05:20.510 I began to be led by the Holy Spirit, from part to part in the Scriptures, 05:20.930 --> 05:27.950 reaching the book of Hebrews, chapter 8, to get to know myself as a priest, 05:28.650 --> 05:32.490 about my own identity with Christ. 05:32.750 --> 05:36.210 Was there any identity as a priest with Christ? 05:36.990 --> 05:44.810 Well, this was in doubt, and soon the Holy Spirit gave me the answer, the solution, 05:44.810 --> 05:47.430 reaching Hebrews, chapter 8. 05:48.970 --> 05:55.270 We are going to review the reading that we did in chapter 8, to verse 4. 05:55.850 --> 06:05.570 It says in this verse 4, So if Jesus were on earth, he would not yet be a priest. 06:06.430 --> 06:08.550 Tremendous impression for my own soul. 06:08.650 --> 06:10.750 He pierced it like a sword. 06:10.750 --> 06:16.890 He pierced my soul like a sword, this word. 06:17.090 --> 06:23.170 That's right, the Scripture in this same book says that the word of God is like a 06:23.170 --> 06:23.510 two-edged sword. 06:23.830 --> 06:32.910 I felt the same pain of a sword piercing me, not only the heart, the mind, 06:33.590 --> 06:39.070 the reason, the thought, the feelings, the emotions, but also my own soul. 06:39.070 --> 06:47.310 It was pierced when I came to this verse, after years of repetition, after years of 06:47.310 --> 06:54.090 having read it, after years of having known it, and I came to believe for the 06:54.090 --> 06:55.630 first time what is written. 06:55.930 --> 07:02.630 It says, So if Jesus Christ were on earth, he would not yet be a priest. 07:02.630 --> 07:08.510 Even more, the proof and the evidence in the search I made for my priesthood with 07:08.510 --> 07:18.670 Christ, came to be here as an absolute answer and final solution to the dilemma I 07:18.670 --> 07:18.990 was suffering. 07:20.890 --> 07:26.090 I was looking for that identity of my priesthood before the New Testament, 07:26.250 --> 07:30.950 I was looking for it even in the Old Testament, waiting, even in the Jewish 07:30.950 --> 07:37.970 priesthood, to find that identity of my Roman Catholic priesthood, of the Roman 07:37.970 --> 07:39.990 Catholic priesthood in general. 07:40.590 --> 07:45.470 I wanted to know that apart from the Magisterium, apart from the religious 07:45.470 --> 07:55.610 tradition, this priesthood that I had embraced, came to be identified in the 07:55.610 --> 07:57.970 pages of the Holy Scriptures. 07:58.550 --> 08:01.790 What had never been told to us, what had never been taught to us, 08:02.270 --> 08:08.450 but that my soul already sought, urgently needed, that identity. 08:09.530 --> 08:16.810 I was not yet sure that as a Catholic and a priest, the identity that the Roman 08:16.810 --> 08:21.850 Catholic Magisterium offered me, and the identity that the Roman Catholic 08:21.850 --> 08:26.630 tradition offered me, going through all the Catholic priesthood of all the 08:26.630 --> 08:32.070 so-called Fathers of the Church, that that identity that I had learned in 08:32.070 --> 08:39.070 that historical and religious trajectory, could be found in the pages of the Holy 08:39.070 --> 08:39.130 Scriptures. 08:39.130 --> 08:46.550 And from the beginning, I go page by page of the Old Testament, from Genesis, 08:47.010 --> 08:48.430 in search of that identity. 08:50.050 --> 08:56.350 And what a surprise for me to know that not even the pages of the Old Testament, 08:57.150 --> 09:03.210 in the same Jewish priesthood, my Roman Catholic priesthood, had no 09:03.210 --> 09:05.710 identification with the Jewish priesthood. 09:05.710 --> 09:11.350 For example, what are the areas of evidence and testimony of Christ Himself, 09:11.510 --> 09:16.350 in the pages of the Old Testament, that my priesthood did not correspond to 09:16.350 --> 09:19.470 Him, nor He had established it. 09:21.890 --> 09:29.310 Among the evidence pointed out, I begin to notice, that the Jewish 09:29.310 --> 09:34.430 priesthood, among the things that it never received, not even the High Pontiff of 09:34.430 --> 09:43.690 them, like Aaron, never received authority or power to forgive sins. 09:44.870 --> 09:45.350 Strange. 09:45.990 --> 09:50.690 I say, but how is it possible that the same Jewish priesthood does not receive 09:50.690 --> 09:54.690 the power that was transmitted to me by being ordained priest. 09:55.910 --> 10:01.710 Two powers are transmitted in the ordination of every priest, by the bishop 10:01.710 --> 10:05.390 who leads him to that ordination, or in the ordination of every man. 10:06.510 --> 10:14.450 Because that person is a man, and he is not a priest yet, until this process of 10:14.450 --> 10:16.470 the sacrament of the order takes place. 10:17.410 --> 10:23.590 In other words, that man becomes a priest through the transmission of two powers. 10:27.360 --> 10:29.060 His studies did not make him a priest. 10:31.190 --> 10:34.560 His theology, his philosophy did not make him a priest. 10:35.080 --> 10:37.200 His priesthood did not make him a priest. 10:38.480 --> 10:46.640 His good mystical experience that he could have obtained through the book of prayers 10:46.640 --> 10:55.300 and his prayers, his good conduct, as the most exemplary, above all the 10:55.300 --> 11:00.240 exemplary in the human being, did not make him a priest, no matter how pious he was. 11:00.600 --> 11:03.740 He did not become a priest, none of that. 11:04.260 --> 11:11.480 He becomes a priest when the bishop transmits to him two powers. 11:11.780 --> 11:16.380 The power to transubstantiate and the power to forgive sins. 11:16.380 --> 11:24.400 This was what I received from the bishop that would lead me to the sacrament of the 11:24.400 --> 11:24.700 order. 11:25.460 --> 11:33.140 Under this liturgical process, my hands were tied with the priest's 11:33.140 --> 11:42.260 stole, a symbol of the sacramental power, and in the same way, closing my fists as a 11:42.260 --> 11:43.640 symbol of that same power. 11:45.800 --> 11:54.460 When this process took place, the bishop, imposing his hands, began to transmit 11:54.460 --> 11:59.940 those two powers, the power to transubstantiate and the power to forgive 11:59.940 --> 12:00.520 sins. 12:00.880 --> 12:08.100 As for the Easter sacrifices and all kinds of sacrifices that I knew I had been 12:08.100 --> 12:15.620 studying, analyzing, scribbling in the scriptures about the sacrifices that God 12:15.620 --> 12:20.040 himself had given to the people of Israel, I noticed that even at the time of 12:20.040 --> 12:26.640 offering these sacrifices, these sacrifices were never made as a magic art. 12:26.820 --> 12:32.020 In other words, the animal was an animal, the blood of the animal was the blood of 12:32.020 --> 12:36.320 the animal, there were no conversions of anything, there was no transubstantiation 12:36.320 --> 12:36.800 of anything. 12:36.800 --> 12:40.200 God says, you will sacrifice sheep, and sheep were sacrificed. 12:40.620 --> 12:45.260 There was no change of sheep to another nature or another species. 12:45.540 --> 12:51.060 It was still blood and meat, both the meat that was burned in the fire and the blood 12:51.060 --> 12:53.060 that was spilled from the altar. 12:54.560 --> 12:57.760 It was blood of sheep and that was meat of sheep. 12:58.120 --> 13:00.920 There was no metamorphosis of any species. 13:01.340 --> 13:05.120 God did not order it, God did not reveal it, God did not teach it. 13:05.120 --> 13:11.460 That is why Moses could not be different, Aaron could not be different, the 13:11.460 --> 13:15.680 patriarchs could not be different from the first sacrifices that were celebrated. 13:16.160 --> 13:22.400 God had already taught them that the same one who made the first sacrifice, 13:22.800 --> 13:30.420 the same one, in the garden of Eden, as he did, he transmitted it to the people 13:30.420 --> 13:31.380 of Israel later. 13:31.380 --> 13:36.680 Adam and Eve took off the leaves of the fig tree to dress them with leather 13:36.680 --> 13:40.960 tunics, which indicated in advance that there had been animal sacrifice. 13:41.820 --> 13:48.760 There had been bloodshed, pointing as a symbol, not reality, as a symbol, 13:49.020 --> 13:55.700 as a type of the same sacrifice of Jesus Christ centuries later and of his blood 13:55.700 --> 13:58.060 shed for remission of sins. 13:58.060 --> 14:03.580 But the priests, even with all that knowledge, the Jewish priests, 14:03.860 --> 14:10.340 never received the remotest idea that something special, something magical, 14:10.660 --> 14:14.000 was going to take place at the time when they were offering the lamb. 14:14.540 --> 14:15.900 Paschal, not even. 14:16.440 --> 14:21.180 In the moments or events of the most special sacrifices, nothing took place. 14:21.600 --> 14:23.420 Everything has always been the same. 14:23.420 --> 14:28.560 The animal has always been the animal, before the sacrifice, after the sacrifice, 14:28.880 --> 14:32.200 after the offering, everything has always been the same. 14:32.620 --> 14:34.400 Nothing has changed. 14:35.180 --> 14:35.600 Nothing. 14:38.720 --> 14:43.780 When the bishop transmits the power of transubstantiation, he is saying that he 14:43.780 --> 14:48.940 is transmitting the power that the priest will receive according to the tradition, 14:49.220 --> 14:53.060 according to the Magisterium, but not according to the Bible, not according to 14:53.060 --> 14:53.960 the Word of God. 14:54.440 --> 15:03.260 This was the root of the disconnection between my problem, my dilemma. 15:04.880 --> 15:10.220 That I could appreciate everything that the Liturgy offered me, up to that moment 15:10.220 --> 15:13.940 of my ordination, I could appreciate it in the religious tradition, I could 15:13.940 --> 15:19.220 appreciate it in the Magisterium and under the Magisterium, but I could not find it 15:19.220 --> 15:22.100 in the pages of the Holy Scriptures. 15:22.420 --> 15:28.760 I could not find it since God initiated the first sacrifice, going through Cain 15:28.760 --> 15:34.900 and Abel later, reaching later Moses, going through the prophets, and reaching 15:34.900 --> 15:42.120 Jesus, I find myself, even with Jesus in the Gospels, in search of that identity of 15:42.120 --> 15:43.380 my ordination with Him. 15:43.380 --> 15:48.740 I say, now yes, I have to find it here, now yes, possibly they did not talk about 15:48.740 --> 15:54.240 it in the Jewish sacrifices, but now in Christ I will find my priesthood. 15:55.020 --> 16:00.640 And how extraordinary that the disconnection was even more dramatic, 16:01.800 --> 16:07.860 because following Jesus, I follow him to where he came to heal the paralytic, 16:07.860 --> 16:14.660 and there, being in front of the paralytic, he says to him in this way, 16:16.640 --> 16:19.200 get up and walk? 16:19.520 --> 16:19.800 No. 16:21.080 --> 16:25.680 He says, son, your sins are forgiven. 16:29.380 --> 16:31.100 What do you think happened? 16:31.920 --> 16:33.100 What do you think happened? 16:33.700 --> 16:36.000 What do you think the Jews understood? 16:36.000 --> 16:40.300 In other words, that Jesus was blaspheming. 16:40.800 --> 16:46.500 Immediately, a confrontation arose in the air. 16:46.880 --> 16:50.780 Who can forgive sin if not only God? 16:54.400 --> 17:00.340 And they look at Jesus, and Jesus in response to the admiration, not only, 17:00.480 --> 17:06.000 but to the consternation and doubt of them, and Jesus looks at the paralytic and 17:06.000 --> 17:15.460 says to him, so that you know that the Son of Man has power, the power to forgive 17:15.460 --> 17:21.080 sins, I tell you, get up and walk. 17:21.760 --> 17:23.880 Hallelujah, hallelujah. 17:24.860 --> 17:33.060 The paralytic gets up to walk, not only as a healthy person, miraculously 17:33.060 --> 17:41.740 healthy, he gets up to walk as redeemed, liberated, because Christ forgave his 17:41.740 --> 17:42.380 sins. 17:43.140 --> 17:50.120 Sign and evidence, his own health came to answer this, his own health came to speak 17:50.120 --> 17:50.620 of this. 17:51.220 --> 17:59.260 He says, so that you know, if you want a sign, so that you know that the Son of Man 17:59.260 --> 18:06.920 has power, has power, something that the Jews themselves knew, that he could have 18:06.920 --> 18:11.040 appealed and said, so that you know that I as a teacher have power, or that the 18:11.040 --> 18:15.280 Jewish priests have power, they knew that the Jews did not even believe that, 18:15.680 --> 18:18.940 because God had already taught them differently. 18:19.300 --> 18:25.920 He says that they said, who but only God can forgive sins? 18:27.200 --> 18:34.600 Jesus was not only declaring the sign of his own health as confirmation of the 18:34.600 --> 18:38.520 forgiveness and remission of the sins of the paralytic, but he was demonstrating 18:38.520 --> 18:39.100 something. 18:39.900 --> 18:44.100 He was demonstrating that he was not only the Son of Man, he was demonstrating that 18:44.100 --> 18:47.900 he was God manifested in flesh. 18:49.400 --> 18:52.860 Who but only God can forgive sins? 18:52.860 --> 18:57.760 In other words, to whom has God given the power to forgive sins? 18:57.900 --> 18:58.800 To what man? 18:59.020 --> 18:59.800 To what priest? 19:00.200 --> 19:01.040 To what patriarch? 19:01.340 --> 19:02.080 To what prophet? 19:02.860 --> 19:09.900 God never gave only the power to forgive sins, he did not even give the power to 19:09.900 --> 19:16.340 transubstantiate, he did not even give the power to change the animals to the body of 19:16.340 --> 19:20.860 Christ and to the blood of Christ, because even that was not done, 19:21.160 --> 19:25.920 not even in type, not even in symbol. 19:27.000 --> 19:35.880 Much less, since that sacrifice came to himself through that victim, holy, 19:36.400 --> 19:42.640 exalted and majestic, who came to be Jesus Christ, as the lamb of God who removes the 19:42.640 --> 19:43.320 sin of the world. 19:43.560 --> 19:47.360 How could man do such a thing? 19:47.800 --> 19:50.160 Even before Jesus did it. 19:53.380 --> 20:00.500 Going from this moment, I could understand in front of the paralytic, I was already 20:00.500 --> 20:06.280 there, I was already meeting Jesus around the paralytic, and I was already beginning 20:06.280 --> 20:12.660 to celebrate, not my distance from Christ, I was already beginning to congratulate 20:12.660 --> 20:15.380 myself for my closeness to Christ. 20:15.380 --> 20:21.480 And it is true that as I approached Christ, and Christ approached me for his 20:21.480 --> 20:28.600 word, for his doctrine, for his teachings, for his commandments, I began to give in 20:28.600 --> 20:31.680 to the word of God. 20:33.580 --> 20:40.060 This, of course, began to take me away from the religious tradition and the 20:40.060 --> 20:41.320 religious magisterium. 20:41.320 --> 20:49.280 It was not compatible, there was no relation, I could not coordinate, 20:49.620 --> 20:55.580 I could not draw any analogy between magisterium and tradition, and what now 20:55.580 --> 21:02.540 the Holy Spirit revealed to me through this word, about my identity as a priest 21:02.540 --> 21:04.300 and Christ. 21:07.750 --> 21:18.250 The Scripture came back to my heart and to my own conscience, to be heard in verse 4 21:18.250 --> 21:20.370 of chapter 8 of Hebrews. 21:20.690 --> 21:28.210 So, if he were on earth, he would not yet be a priest, Jesus Christ. 21:29.650 --> 21:34.830 He is no longer talking about when he was, and when he was, I was able to appreciate 21:34.830 --> 21:41.470 how I followed his path from his birth to his crucifixion, burial and resurrection. 21:41.770 --> 21:45.770 I was able to follow Christ, even in the experience not only of the paralytic, 21:46.010 --> 21:51.950 but in all the other experiences, that only Jesus could grant the 21:51.950 --> 21:59.050 forgiveness of sins, and he did not grant that power to anyone, not even to his 21:59.050 --> 21:59.550 apostles. 21:59.550 --> 22:04.730 And now they were not the Jewish priests, now they were the apostles of Christ, 22:04.910 --> 22:09.910 in whom I sought that identity, because they had already taught it to me. 22:10.210 --> 22:15.050 They had told me that that power was transmitted by Christ through Peter, 22:15.150 --> 22:17.450 and then given to the rest of the apostles. 22:19.430 --> 22:22.850 However, the Scriptures offered me the opposite. 22:23.750 --> 22:29.870 Jesus did not grant it, the apostles did not exercise it, because only Christ 22:29.870 --> 22:34.450 exercised it, the power to forgive sins. 22:36.270 --> 22:45.290 It was only Christ who was going to be not only the victim of sin, but he was going 22:45.290 --> 22:51.350 to be the only priest, the only priest, who was going to celebrate his own 22:51.350 --> 22:51.890 sacrifice. 22:52.850 --> 22:58.410 This sacrifice could not be given to any priest, Jewish or non-Jewish. 22:59.010 --> 23:04.530 It was Jesus who came to offer himself, so he had to be a priest. 23:05.010 --> 23:08.390 He did not go to earth according to the Jewish custom. 23:08.790 --> 23:14.170 This is what the Holy Spirit revealed to me, that Jesus himself, ministering, 23:14.410 --> 23:19.470 preaching, teaching, was not a priest according to the Jewish custom. 23:19.690 --> 23:23.430 However, he was a priest, but according to another order. 23:23.430 --> 23:28.770 Let us come to chapter 5 of the book of Hebrews, to how the Holy Spirit himself 23:28.770 --> 23:34.690 makes me understand why Jesus, in chapter 8, why he did not become a 23:34.690 --> 23:41.610 priest, and why even now, in this moment, in this 20th century, if Jesus were now on 23:41.610 --> 23:47.690 earth, at this time, at this moment, in this place, or anywhere in the world, 23:48.130 --> 23:53.750 traveling the whole world, nowhere, even in Israel, Jesus, in this moment, 23:53.870 --> 23:58.570 in this century, at this time, would never become a priest. 23:59.370 --> 24:02.670 Nor a Jew, much less a Roman Catholic. 24:06.540 --> 24:07.300 Why? 24:08.060 --> 24:11.740 Chapter 5 of Hebrews, and here is what the Holy Spirit offered me. 24:12.220 --> 24:13.040 Verse 5. 24:13.740 --> 24:21.660 Thus also Christ did not glorify himself, note well the expression, making himself a 24:21.660 --> 24:27.580 pontiff, but the one who said to him, the one who said to him, you are my son, 24:30.900 --> 24:33.940 I have begotten you today. 24:35.460 --> 24:43.540 As it is also said elsewhere, you are an eternal priest, according to the order of 24:43.540 --> 24:44.320 Melchizedek. 24:45.080 --> 24:45.900 This was the order. 24:46.380 --> 24:49.100 He was not a Jew, he was not the order of Aaron. 24:50.040 --> 24:52.100 It was the order of Melchizedek. 24:52.960 --> 25:01.300 No Jewish priest, including Aaron, no high pontiff in Israel, could come from 25:01.300 --> 25:02.060 this lineage. 25:02.980 --> 25:05.640 But even more, not even the apostles. 25:07.020 --> 25:08.620 Not even the apostles. 25:08.940 --> 25:12.480 For I had been taught the tradition that Peter received that transmission. 25:13.560 --> 25:16.660 Peter received the power to transubstantiate, in other words, 25:16.660 --> 25:20.900 to make the sacrifice of Christ, to celebrate the Mass, they say. 25:21.780 --> 25:28.980 To change the species of bread and wine, into the flesh, the blood, the soul and 25:28.980 --> 25:30.320 the deity of Christ. 25:30.680 --> 25:34.660 According to the Council of Trent, in its decree of 1546. 25:41.800 --> 25:43.480 Not even the apostles. 25:43.480 --> 25:52.660 Peter, not an apostle, could be in the lineage of Melchizedek. 25:53.180 --> 25:57.960 Even more, the lineage was such that there was only Christ in Melchizedek. 26:00.980 --> 26:02.920 According to the order of Melchizedek. 26:03.100 --> 26:07.620 In that order, in that lineage, there was only one priest, not even two. 26:07.940 --> 26:08.440 Just one. 26:09.540 --> 26:11.940 And that was Jesus Christ. 26:12.280 --> 26:15.520 Already prophesied in the same book of Genesis. 26:16.000 --> 26:19.240 And given Abraham, the father of faith. 26:19.940 --> 26:22.140 How strange, that the promise was not even given to Isaac. 26:22.920 --> 26:24.240 That it was not even given to Jacob. 26:24.640 --> 26:25.800 That it was not given to Moses. 26:26.240 --> 26:29.440 That it was not given to any prophet, except Abraham. 26:32.880 --> 26:36.840 Hence the scripture says, By grace I am saved. 26:37.480 --> 26:39.400 By means of faith. 26:40.180 --> 26:44.320 It is faith, by which we receive the grace of Christ. 26:44.960 --> 26:47.660 To be able to be saved. 26:48.460 --> 26:50.500 Hallelujah, hallelujah. 26:51.060 --> 26:52.580 Glory to Jesus Christ. 26:53.540 --> 26:56.600 It is faith, the channel, the means. 26:57.260 --> 27:00.940 The only channel, not only the channel, the only channel. 27:02.540 --> 27:09.420 By means of which, runs, flows, the grace of Jesus Christ. 27:09.840 --> 27:13.580 That reached me, for the remission of my sins. 27:14.280 --> 27:17.140 And for the remission of their sins. 27:21.720 --> 27:23.800 I was in that search. 27:24.760 --> 27:36.540 When I saw that my own identity as a Roman Catholic priest, had nothing to do with 27:36.540 --> 27:37.300 the apostolate. 27:37.740 --> 27:40.800 In other words, with the apostles of Jesus Christ. 27:42.040 --> 27:47.840 Then, if I do not find it in the Jewish priests, if I do not find that identity of 27:47.840 --> 27:53.680 my priesthood in the Jewish priesthood, if I do not find it in the apostolate, 27:54.480 --> 28:01.400 if I do not find it now in third place in Jesus Christ, because he himself displaces 28:01.400 --> 28:06.360 me, now I find myself in front of Gedur, no longer in front of Aaron, no longer in 28:06.360 --> 28:10.760 front of the Jewish priests, no longer in front of Peter, no longer in front of 28:10.760 --> 28:16.440 Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, I find myself in front of Christ, as not only a priest, 28:16.800 --> 28:20.760 as the only, the only, the only priest. 28:22.980 --> 28:28.360 This is what the Holy Spirit leads me to know, and to read. 28:28.580 --> 28:32.260 That I already knew it, that I had already read it, that I had already memorized it. 28:32.440 --> 28:36.960 This is the biblical text that the bishop gave me at the time of my ordination. 28:37.260 --> 28:42.860 This is the biblical text that was written, stamped in gold letters, 28:43.280 --> 28:48.500 and with gold, with gold powder, in the invitations to my priestly 28:48.500 --> 28:48.500 ceremony. 28:48.700 --> 28:49.600 This text. 28:50.760 --> 28:55.400 And the one that is written in the ordination of each priest, today, 28:56.220 --> 28:58.760 this one. 28:58.780 --> 29:06.200 Thus also Christ glorified himself, making himself a pontiff, but the one who 29:06.200 --> 29:12.560 said to him, you are my son, I have begotten you today, as it also says 29:12.560 --> 29:20.160 elsewhere, you are an eternal priest, according to the order of Melchizedek. 29:21.720 --> 29:26.360 The same bishop who transmitted, according to the tradition of the 29:26.360 --> 29:31.040 Magisterium, those two powers to make me a priest, and to make every man a priest, 29:31.300 --> 29:37.320 each bishop who orders the men who are going to be priests, that same and those 29:37.320 --> 29:40.760 same bishops, make a quote of this text. 29:41.420 --> 29:45.900 You are an eternal priest, according to the order of Melchizedek. 29:46.000 --> 29:50.040 And this pronunciation is said to the priest. 29:51.040 --> 29:55.280 To the man who is becoming a Catholic priest. 29:59.280 --> 30:00.880 What does this mean? 30:01.460 --> 30:05.320 To what extent does this relate to Christ as a priest? 30:05.540 --> 30:07.660 To what extent does this relate to me? 30:07.780 --> 30:09.760 Did it relate to me or distance me? 30:10.000 --> 30:11.380 Did it bring me closer or farther? 30:12.400 --> 30:12.860 It brought me farther. 30:14.220 --> 30:20.340 Because what the Holy Spirit gave me to know is that Christ came to be the only 30:20.340 --> 30:28.160 one, the only one, the only one who, divinely decreed, came to be a priest for 30:28.160 --> 30:28.820 everyone. 30:29.480 --> 30:29.920 Hallelujah! 30:30.740 --> 30:37.240 In other words, not only a priest for everyone, a priest, not only for everyone, 30:37.540 --> 30:41.320 a priest now and forever. 30:41.660 --> 30:42.820 Glory to God! 30:43.440 --> 30:46.020 A priest now and forever. 30:48.620 --> 30:53.060 Then, did Jesus displace me or receive me as a Catholic priest? 30:53.400 --> 30:54.440 He displaced me. 30:55.380 --> 30:57.340 Even more, he accused me. 30:58.140 --> 30:59.220 Let's see why. 30:59.720 --> 31:02.100 Let's see why in this same trajectory. 31:02.480 --> 31:04.000 Matthew chapter 24. 31:04.480 --> 31:10.780 In his prophetic sermon, Jesus prophesies and speaks of the Roman Catholic 31:10.780 --> 31:10.780 priesthood. 31:11.180 --> 31:14.200 And not in favor of him, but quite the opposite. 31:14.620 --> 31:20.340 As I was convicted of this same teaching, the alarm in my soul rang, and it rang 31:20.340 --> 31:22.980 loudly until it crossed my consciousness. 31:23.360 --> 31:28.820 Matthew chapter 24, verses 23 and 24. 31:29.320 --> 31:34.480 Of both powers that are transmitted from man, who is a priest, here Jesus 31:34.480 --> 31:35.940 pronounced himself in prophecy. 31:36.320 --> 31:37.300 I mean, in prophecy. 31:38.380 --> 31:44.320 Verse 23 says, Then if any of you say, here is the Christ, or there, 31:47.840 --> 31:54.540 there is no liturgical expression or religious teaching in the whole world that 31:54.540 --> 31:58.080 gives more to this prophecy than the Roman Catholic Mass. 31:58.740 --> 32:03.840 In other words, everything we can find in the world of religious experience related 32:03.840 --> 32:10.400 to any kind of sacrifice, is not found in the prophetic fulfillment of this 32:10.400 --> 32:13.080 prophecy, if it is not in the Roman Catholic Mass. 32:13.440 --> 32:13.980 Let's see why. 32:13.980 --> 32:17.520 It says, Here is the Christ. 32:18.620 --> 32:24.160 For reasons of the transubstantiation, which is called the mystery of the Mass. 32:24.880 --> 32:29.380 For reasons of that transubstantiation that alleges the religious tradition that 32:29.380 --> 32:34.000 takes place in the wine and the host that the priest consecrates. 32:34.560 --> 32:40.040 It is said that this host and this wine, after the consecration, cease to be host 32:40.040 --> 32:46.440 and wine and become in the flesh, in the blood, in the soul and in the deity 32:46.440 --> 32:47.820 of Jesus Christ. 32:48.700 --> 32:54.140 In other words, when the penitent receives this host, he is receiving, according to 32:54.140 --> 32:58.780 the canonical law and the Roman Catholic dogma, the Roman Catholic tradition 32:58.780 --> 33:00.380 receives what? 33:00.760 --> 33:02.840 It receives Jesus Christ. 33:04.020 --> 33:08.700 It receives the body of Christ, his soul, his deity 33:13.820 --> 33:15.320 Jesus says differently. 33:17.080 --> 33:21.080 And here is Christ, or there, do not believe. 33:21.740 --> 33:26.540 It was taught to us from the minor catechism to all children, to the major 33:26.540 --> 33:32.160 catechism, it was taught, it continues to be taught that it is in the Mass where we 33:32.160 --> 33:32.840 receive whom? 33:33.700 --> 33:34.340 Christ. 33:35.640 --> 33:36.620 Jesus says, 33:43.400 --> 33:48.220 the Council of Trent is pronounced saying that the person who does not believe that 33:48.220 --> 33:55.980 at the time of the consecration of this host and this wine the body of Christ is 33:55.980 --> 33:59.160 not present, the blood of Christ, the soul of Christ and the deity of 33:59.160 --> 34:06.320 Christ, that person is not only a heretic but is condemned eternally and falls under 34:06.320 --> 34:12.160 the judgment of the angels, archangels, seraphs, cherubim, the whole celestial 34:12.160 --> 34:20.500 court seeing Mary queen of heaven, of God the Father, of Christ your Son and 34:20.500 --> 34:27.460 of the Holy Spirit, anathemas of the whole world and of all kinds against the person 34:27.460 --> 34:31.500 who does what Christ says he must do. 34:32.060 --> 34:37.500 Do not believe, do not believe that lie. 34:40.240 --> 34:41.920 What is the lie? 34:43.180 --> 34:52.220 So if someone tells you here is Christ at the time that the priest offers the host, 34:52.440 --> 34:56.260 that is what he is saying here is Christ. 34:56.680 --> 35:02.840 The penitent that is what he believes and at the time that the priest withdraws that 35:02.840 --> 35:08.820 host or what is left of the consecrated host what is left, even the pieces of it, 35:09.120 --> 35:14.380 what is left, this is still considered that it is the body of Christ, 35:14.800 --> 35:19.580 the soul of Christ, the blood of Christ and the deity of Christ to the point that 35:19.580 --> 35:25.260 these elements are worshiped in the Roman Catholic liturgy as Christ himself, 35:25.660 --> 35:27.480 as the person of Christ. 35:27.700 --> 35:35.060 Once the Most Holy is exposed it is closed with a key and every person who passes in 35:35.060 --> 35:42.400 front of the consecrated is presided over and kneels with a certain patience that 35:42.400 --> 35:47.920 there is the body of Jesus Christ that there is Christ. 35:48.960 --> 35:56.300 Notice the two directions in prophecy first it says here, the word here here is 35:56.300 --> 36:02.980 Christ and now notice the other grammatical term or there in other words 36:02.980 --> 36:12.480 here at the time of receiving him the penitent there when he is already on the 36:12.480 --> 36:22.220 cross or he is taken to the sacristy and he is locked in a safe box until the mass 36:22.220 --> 36:22.820 is celebrated again. 36:22.860 --> 36:32.220 Listen because if some say here is Christ do not believe my identity as a priest 36:32.220 --> 36:38.800 cannot be appreciated my identity as a priest cannot be found because I am 36:38.800 --> 36:45.720 finding the opposite to what I seek my identity with it I am finding that neither 36:45.720 --> 36:50.360 the mass identifies me with Christ the first power I receive from the bishop who 36:50.360 --> 36:56.200 orders me to be a priest nor the remission of sin or forgiveness of sin that I grant 36:56.200 --> 36:58.400 in the confessional to the penitent. 37:01.040 --> 37:02.520 What is worse 37:07.280 --> 37:14.400 outside of the mass and the confessional is not yet reaching the penitence it does 37:14.400 --> 37:15.020 not exist. 37:16.740 --> 37:22.460 Let us come at this time to the book of Hebrews and let us hear from the sacrifice 37:22.460 --> 37:29.680 to the forgiveness of sins how Jesus is not only the victim but also the priest he 37:29.680 --> 37:39.580 offers himself chapter 9 of the book of Hebrews at this time chapter 9 verse 24 37:39.580 --> 37:47.060 says because Christ did not enter the sanctuary as a figure a figure of the 37:47.060 --> 37:53.940 sanctuary or a figure of the true but in the same heaven to present himself for us 37:53.940 --> 38:01.360 in the presence of God and not to offer himself many times to Christ nobody 38:01.360 --> 38:02.120 offered him 38:07.480 --> 38:11.800 The Jews killed him, but no one offered him as a sacrifice. 38:12.340 --> 38:17.580 Christ offered himself for you and for me. 38:19.080 --> 38:23.060 His own priest celebrates his own sacrifice. 38:25.500 --> 38:29.040 There can be a greater zeal than this, it is the zeal of God. 38:29.760 --> 38:31.560 I mean, it is the zeal of God. 38:32.560 --> 38:38.160 In everything related to the redemption of the human being, in everything related to 38:38.160 --> 38:45.500 the love of God, no man can intervene, no man can mediate, no man, no matter how 38:45.500 --> 38:48.880 holy he is, can relate. 38:53.300 --> 38:57.660 God left this prerogative to himself. 38:57.660 --> 39:03.500 That is why the Holy Spirit says that God, who magnifies the mystery of mercy, 39:03.680 --> 39:09.200 1 Timothy 3, verse 16, magnifies the mystery of mercy. 39:09.720 --> 39:13.360 God has been manifested in flesh. 39:13.620 --> 39:18.900 Man, patriarch, prophet, angel, archangel, seraphim, cherubim, 39:18.980 --> 39:19.140 no. 39:19.560 --> 39:24.600 God, God himself has been manifested in flesh. 39:24.600 --> 39:32.520 God has kept the absolute prerogative of saving me, of saving him, of redeeming me, 39:32.920 --> 39:35.060 and of redeeming the human being. 39:39.520 --> 39:42.500 And not to offer himself many times. 39:42.980 --> 39:50.620 Nor, not only does God not grant this to anyone, neither as a victim nor as a 39:50.620 --> 39:53.280 priest, this exclusive divine sacrifice. 39:53.280 --> 39:58.340 He does not grant it to anyone, but neither does Christ himself require to 39:58.340 --> 39:59.220 repeat it. 39:59.460 --> 40:06.720 Once the sacrifice was celebrated on the outskirts of Jerusalem, on Mount Golgotha, 40:07.080 --> 40:13.460 on the cross of Golgotha, on Mount Calvary, that sacrifice was made, 40:13.780 --> 40:19.440 celebrated, offered, from that moment, forever, never. 40:19.440 --> 40:28.120 No more, no more repetition, not even to Jesus, not even to Jesus, no repetition. 40:29.460 --> 40:37.400 Listen well, how much transcendence was this having for me, in search of the 40:37.400 --> 40:43.200 relationship of my Roman Catholic priesthood with Jesus Christ, my Savior. 40:44.840 --> 40:47.440 And not to offer himself many times. 40:47.440 --> 40:52.880 How is it possible that Jesus, not offering himself many times, 40:53.120 --> 40:59.500 I, after 2,000 years, that he offered himself only once, in one place, 40:59.940 --> 41:07.380 in Golgotha, in one country, in one point in history. 41:08.660 --> 41:13.920 How is it possible that 2,000 years later, I repeat his sacrifice? 41:14.460 --> 41:14.820 How? 41:15.400 --> 41:16.060 Where? 41:19.110 --> 41:22.970 And not to offer himself many times himself. 41:24.950 --> 41:30.670 How does the pontiff enter the sanctuary every year with other people's blood? 41:31.370 --> 41:37.390 Otherwise, it would have been necessary for him to have suffered many times from 41:37.390 --> 41:38.170 the beginning. 41:38.610 --> 41:45.250 If this had led to logic and human reason, as proposed by Roman Catholic theology, 41:45.250 --> 41:51.210 through reason, through logic, not through the word of God, but through 41:51.210 --> 41:52.630 philosophy even. 41:54.530 --> 42:01.910 If this were to be proposed by God at that human level, then the Holy Spirit says 42:01.910 --> 42:07.390 that Jesus Christ would have had to be offered, not only since he was in Golgotha 42:07.390 --> 42:11.970 until our day, but before Golgotha, he would have had to have been offered 42:11.970 --> 42:15.050 since creation and before creation. 42:16.910 --> 42:19.650 In other words, continuous sacrifice. 42:22.870 --> 42:24.890 But it was only once. 42:26.050 --> 42:30.690 He says otherwise, it would have been necessary for him to have suffered many 42:30.690 --> 42:33.650 times from the beginning of the world. 42:33.650 --> 42:41.110 But now, only once, only once, in the consummation of the centuries, 42:41.430 --> 42:48.870 for the atonement of sin, he presented himself for the sacrifice of himself. 42:50.610 --> 42:52.250 He presented himself. 42:52.550 --> 42:57.850 It is necessary to delete it, it is necessary to savor it, it is necessary to 42:57.850 --> 42:59.510 participate in this expression. 43:00.810 --> 43:04.790 He presented himself, the priest, the only priest. 43:05.410 --> 43:06.610 He presented himself. 43:06.790 --> 43:07.510 Who is he? 43:07.510 --> 43:08.030 He is Jesus. 43:08.330 --> 43:12.070 But how has Jesus been prophesied for this sacrifice? 43:12.290 --> 43:13.250 As a victim only? 43:13.790 --> 43:15.350 No, not a thousand times. 43:16.150 --> 43:23.270 As the only priest, according to the order of Melchizedek, ordered eternally, 43:23.470 --> 43:30.010 in other words, his priestly function, not only as a victim, his priestly 43:30.010 --> 43:37.890 function, is being exercised right now, in his favor and in my favor. 43:39.830 --> 43:44.230 In favor of anyone who believes this Gospel. 43:47.370 --> 43:54.310 And the way it is established for the men who die once, and after the judgment, 43:55.270 --> 44:04.110 so Christ was also offered once, to quench the sins of many. 44:05.010 --> 44:11.890 And the second time, without sin, will be seen of those who wait for 44:11.890 --> 44:12.470 salvation. 44:13.110 --> 44:14.390 Glory to the Lord. 44:14.790 --> 44:15.130 Amen. 44:15.530 --> 44:20.010 Come, Lord Jesus, it is the clamor of those who believe and wait for you. 44:20.010 --> 44:29.630 Come, Lord Jesus, this priestly function begins now, to identify with me in my need 44:29.630 --> 44:30.270 for Him. 44:31.210 --> 44:33.570 Now I am the one who seeks a priest. 44:34.710 --> 44:37.250 Now I am the one who seeks a sacrifice. 44:37.890 --> 44:42.830 Now I am the one who believes that priest and that sacrifice. 44:43.610 --> 44:45.490 For me, for my sins. 44:45.490 --> 44:45.850 For my sins. 44:47.650 --> 44:50.630 Not in another priest, but in Christ. 44:51.530 --> 44:58.150 Even if he had been on earth, he would never have been a priest. 45:00.190 --> 45:02.410 I said it before, I repeat it now. 45:02.590 --> 45:07.050 How the Holy Spirit brought me that conviction, that he was not only not a 45:07.050 --> 45:13.190 Jewish priest, as he proved in his time as minister in life, but now much less, 45:13.770 --> 45:15.610 much less in the 20th century. 45:16.070 --> 45:20.290 Much less Jesus, if he came, if he lived, if he ministered at this time, 45:20.530 --> 45:24.610 if he walked through the streets of our towns, cities and nations. 45:25.030 --> 45:27.610 Right now, Jesus would not be a priest. 45:28.330 --> 45:31.090 And much less a Roman Catholic priest. 45:34.570 --> 45:37.170 Read the word with me, and believe it. 45:37.330 --> 45:39.890 Not only read it, and hear it, but believe it. 45:41.950 --> 45:51.890 It says, if Jesus were on earth, he would not even be a priest. 45:52.410 --> 45:56.310 Notice that the Holy Spirit does not say, when he was on earth, it says, 45:56.550 --> 45:59.130 if he were now, in the present time. 45:59.570 --> 46:03.590 This Bible, which was inspired 2000 years ago, is now talking about this time, 46:03.850 --> 46:04.530 this time. 46:04.710 --> 46:11.630 If he were, as time went by, through 2000 years of time, this message has been 46:11.630 --> 46:16.890 saying, every second of human existence, in 2000 years, it has been saying the same 46:16.890 --> 46:20.670 thing in every part of the world, that this Gospel has been preached. 46:21.750 --> 46:28.170 If Jesus were in any country where this Gospel was preached, in any place, 46:28.550 --> 46:33.550 in any situation, if Jesus were in that land, in Mexico, in Guatemala, 46:34.010 --> 46:39.010 in Puerto Rico, in Spain, in Argentina, in Chile, in Peru, in Honduras, 46:39.010 --> 46:49.170 wherever you believe that Jesus Christ came, in Israel, Jesus would not have been 46:49.170 --> 46:49.990 a priest. 46:51.150 --> 46:52.170 Look at it well. 46:53.230 --> 46:58.090 Even if there were the priests that the present have, according to the law, 46:58.250 --> 47:04.590 in other words, even if there were the priests, Jesus, I repeat, the Holy Spirit, 47:05.030 --> 47:06.750 would not be a priest. 47:11.790 --> 47:13.250 In what sense? 47:15.050 --> 47:21.850 In the sense that the religious tradition has wanted to put Christ himself, 47:22.010 --> 47:26.750 not only the Catholic priest, but the Catholic priest himself, has wanted to put 47:26.750 --> 47:31.390 Christ in the position that he never was, that he is not. 47:32.290 --> 47:32.990 How is that? 47:32.990 --> 47:39.750 He has been relegated behind the priest, and the Catholic priest in front of him. 47:42.590 --> 47:50.290 When the bishop who ordered me recited the words, you are an alter Christ, 47:50.970 --> 47:53.550 he already gave me to understand what I have just expressed. 47:54.410 --> 48:00.570 He gives it to each priest, saying from this same Latin root, you are another 48:00.570 --> 48:01.310 Christ. 48:03.490 --> 48:13.750 To confirm it, to ratify it, he uses verses 5 of Hebrews chapter 5 and verse 6. 48:14.170 --> 48:20.050 From both texts he uses the same bishop, to tell that priest that declares another 48:20.050 --> 48:24.350 Christ, to tell him, you are a priest eternally. 48:27.930 --> 48:39.110 Finally, now you understand, Nodolus, but now you can also look at the faith. 48:43.390 --> 48:48.390 Why, not only did I come to be a priest, but why did I stop being a priest? 48:48.910 --> 48:51.310 As you saw, why did I come to be a Roman Catholic? 48:51.310 --> 48:55.270 And why did I stop being a Christian? 48:55.750 --> 49:03.690 In other words, in all this dilemma, it is the Gospel that makes the 49:03.690 --> 49:04.290 difference. 49:05.030 --> 49:06.170 I say, it is the Gospel. 49:07.710 --> 49:12.510 The Gospel makes this difference from the moment you are willing to believe it. 49:13.150 --> 49:18.790 Not to read it, not to memorize it, not to have it as a book in your library, 49:18.790 --> 49:22.870 or as a special book that is so special that you can't touch it. 49:22.970 --> 49:26.190 And you have to leave it to the experts to touch it. 49:26.190 --> 49:27.490 Because it is not true. 49:28.450 --> 49:35.070 The mandate of Christ is to go around the world and to preach the Gospel to all 49:35.070 --> 49:35.670 creatures. 49:36.050 --> 49:38.550 Not to certain creatures, but to all creatures. 49:39.170 --> 49:44.050 And whoever believes in all those creatures to whom this Gospel is preached, 49:44.050 --> 49:49.870 and whoever believes the Gospel and is baptized, will be saved. 49:50.370 --> 49:54.250 But whoever does not believe the Gospel will be condemned. 49:55.850 --> 50:01.550 It is the Gospel that will make the difference in your life, believing it or 50:01.550 --> 50:08.310 resisting it and denying it, belittling it and belittling it. 50:11.630 --> 50:14.270 This is the invitation I received. 50:14.270 --> 50:21.090 And come with me, because you also have the same blessing and promise. 50:21.630 --> 50:27.090 Chapter 9 of the book of Hebrews says clearly in verse 28 of chapter 9, 50:27.710 --> 50:35.130 going back again to read, So Christ was also offered once to quench the sins of 50:35.130 --> 50:42.370 many, and the second time, without sin, will be seen of those who wait for 50:42.370 --> 50:43.350 salvation. 50:44.630 --> 50:51.470 Are you prepared, are you prepared to have only one priest as the only mediator 50:51.470 --> 50:53.470 between God and men? 50:54.770 --> 50:58.750 The preparation I am talking about is not yours, it is not mine either. 50:59.550 --> 51:04.150 The preparation is of the word of God and corresponds exclusively to it. 51:04.610 --> 51:09.950 That is why the Holy Spirit says, Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the 51:09.950 --> 51:11.270 word of God. 51:13.090 --> 51:23.370 You can hear in two ways, or hear to keep hearing, or hear to obey, one of the two. 51:24.770 --> 51:31.550 I invite you to hear at this very special time of your life, to obey. 51:33.190 --> 51:42.050 In these promises we also find that we have a priest, as it was Melchizedek, 51:42.130 --> 51:46.750 king of Salem, priest of the Most High God, in the lineage in which Christ was. 51:47.390 --> 51:49.450 Jesus now came to be this priest. 51:50.510 --> 51:53.850 No more promises of future manifestations. 51:53.850 --> 52:02.170 The only manifestation that Christ as a priest had, came to be from Melchizedek to 52:02.170 --> 52:09.490 him, until the moment he presented himself on the cross, for you and for me, 52:09.910 --> 52:12.390 taking his place and my place. 52:13.330 --> 52:18.050 As a priest and victim, he said on the cross, in the Golgotha, in this way, 52:19.050 --> 52:24.530 Father, forgive them, because they don't know what they are doing. 52:25.350 --> 52:27.970 And even more, he says, he is consumed. 52:30.390 --> 52:31.670 He is consumed. 52:32.430 --> 52:37.970 In other words, priesthood and sacrifice are fulfilled. 52:38.570 --> 52:42.670 You have it within reach of your heart. 52:42.670 --> 52:48.950 To the priest, the only priest, and to the sacrifice, the only sacrifice, 52:49.650 --> 52:51.850 for the remission of their sins. 52:54.890 --> 53:00.810 Father, in the name of your son Jesus Christ, at this time, I entrust to you 53:00.810 --> 53:05.850 these lives, as they come under the conviction of your Holy Spirit, 53:06.450 --> 53:11.210 to be delivered from their bodies and souls, I implore you that your Holy Spirit 53:11.210 --> 53:16.910 communicates to their spirit at this time, as they receive Jesus, as the Savior and 53:16.910 --> 53:20.730 Redeemer, as the priest and sacrifice of their lives. 53:20.910 --> 53:29.370 Now, Lord, that you consider these lives, making them new creatures, and confirming 53:29.370 --> 53:33.710 in them salvation, redemption and eternal life. 53:34.610 --> 53:36.770 In the name of Jesus Christ, your son. 53:37.370 --> 53:37.770 Amen. 53:37.770 --> 53:39.010 This is it. 53:39.510 --> 53:39.990 Amen.
