So from the very beginning, the question is like in Isaiah 55, which is right after this quote that Jesus gives, who is the nation? Well, he said, behold, you shall call a nation that you do not know and a nation that did not know you shall run to you. Well, who's he talking about? Not Israel.
Can you imagine that you're in that moment? I mean, I was thinking about this as the picture popped in my mind. Like, well, we talked about the Luke 24 passage in the last podcast when Jesus opened their mind to the Scriptures. But now Peter... He's speaking to all these Jewish people who had this concept about the Messiah was going to come.
And whatever their concept was, they completely missed that it was Jesus. Then to realize in a moment that the entire... figure that you had built your entire hopes on. You nailed him to a Roman cross, and then they're just like, the Bible says they're cut to the heart. But it's not the end, because he says, but Christ raised him from the dead three days later.
So Peter gives him the death, the burial, and the resurrection of Jesus. But if you're in that moment, you can imagine when he connected the recent happenings of Christ to their entire Old Testament paradigm, That is the moment of Pentecost right there. Jace, what's the first thing that you do when you wake up in the morning?
No, I don't try to figure it out. I just say, where am I? Well, if the first thing you do when you wake up is look at your phone, which is probably common for a lot of people, then we're going to make a recommendation here on the Unashamed podcast to try this.

Well, he offered you the appeal of Isaiah 55, 1.
Come everyone who's thirsty.
Come to the waters. Jesus speaking through him was the invitation for you to come because you were thirsty. And when Jace started this whole conversation, it's interesting. You were talking about discipleship. When you listen to John Tyson's podcast, I think where this ties into discipleship is that there's an immediate nature to what Jesus is doing in John 6. This is not...
This is not a procrastinated kingdom that's coming a long way from now. This is a present reality, and that gives a sense of urgency to it. I think that's one reason why we don't make disciples enough in the church is because we're procrastinating. And the kingdom that Christ seems to be teaching is much more imminent.
To tie it up with this concept of authority and the Great Commission as well, When Jesus says he claimed all authority, last night at house church, we met, and the gentleman leading the discussion, he just read Psalm 22, because I had preached on Psalm 22. Actually, I didn't even preach on Psalm 22. I preached on Mark, out of Mark 15, on the crucifixion of Jesus.
Psalm 22 is, if you read it, you would say, wait a second, this isn't the Old Testament because it is an exact description of what happened to Jesus on the cross, how he was pierced, how they put the crown of thorns on his head. Everything's in there. And it's a messianic prophecy about the way that Christ would die.
And so we sat in that, like he read the text and just in silence, we sat there for a minute and it was heavy. It was very heavy because we didn't get into the resurrection on Sunday because it was the Sunday before Easter. We do that on Easter, but we just sit in the death that week before on Palm Sunday. And we preach like it's a Good Friday sermon. And so we just sat there.
Well, then somebody turned the page and I love it because it literally was on the next page. Turn the page past the death of Christ. And the picture in Psalm 22 is the picture of the Christ with full authority and dominion. In one translation, the word dominion is actually used, which made me think of Daniel 7, that passage. But this is what it says.
And just listen to the language here at the end of Psalm 22 and verse 27. All the ends of the earth shall remember. All the ends of the earth. Not one people group. All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the Lord. And all the families of all the nations shall worship before you. For the kingship belongs to the Lord and he rules or he has dominion over. Over the nations.
And I'm just like, even in that messianic text, that prophecy in Psalm 22 about the death of Christ, you also see the Great Commission when Christ claims all authority on heaven and earth has been given to me. Now go and make what? Disciples of all nations. Go fulfill what the – this is the mandate. This is what we're doing. This is the plan.
And I just think that that authority, that dominion, it is all just soaking in all of this, even in John 6.
