00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.339
 You are listening to a message from Southwood Presbyterian Church in Huntsville, Alabama.

00:00:06.839 --> 00:00:09.359
 Our passion is to experience and express grace.

00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:10.500
 Join us.

00:00:12.140 --> 00:00:18.839
 We're returning this morning to our study of John's Gospel, the account of the most

00:00:18.839 --> 00:00:25.580
 influential person in the history of the world, written by his most beloved friend.

00:00:26.100 --> 00:00:29.760
 It's been a while since we've been in John, longer break than usual.

00:00:30.379 --> 00:00:34.240
 So let me remind you John's purpose.

00:00:35.119 --> 00:00:44.060
 It's to focus our attention on Jesus, that we may see and come to believe that Jesus is

00:00:44.060 --> 00:00:50.539
 the Christ, the promised King, that we may find life in relationship with Him.

00:00:52.120 --> 00:00:59.539
 All of us who think we might find the meaning of life in our stuff, in our performances,

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:07.879
 in our performance, in our self-determination by being who it is that we want to be, are

00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:12.340
 invited to find the meaning of life in Jesus.

00:01:12.700 --> 00:01:19.760
 For ourselves, for our friends and our neighbors who struggle like us and wonder which end is

00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:20.760
 in this crazy world.

00:01:20.760 --> 00:01:21.760
 What about Jesus?

00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:23.760
 What about Jesus?

00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:23.840
 What about Jesus?

00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:32.380
 Some pretty amazing claims about His identity from His own lips, including that He is the

00:01:32.380 --> 00:01:41.100
 only place that we will find our longings fully satisfied, our lives to be eternally purposeful,

00:01:41.380 --> 00:01:45.020
 our hearts deeply fulfilled, only in Him.

00:01:45.019 --> 00:01:51.659
 And throughout the story of Jesus' life, as we've followed it for 17 chapters so far, has

00:01:51.659 --> 00:01:55.219
 stood the specter of His death.

00:01:56.319 --> 00:02:01.659
 We've been told from the beginning that He is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of

00:02:01.659 --> 00:02:07.280
 the world, even as He will be lifted up to draw all men to Himself.

00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:14.740
 And so often through the Gospel of John, we've read that His hour has not yet come, even when

00:02:14.740 --> 00:02:17.420
 people set out to kill Him, but it's not His hour.

00:02:17.920 --> 00:02:21.360
 But now His hour has come.

00:02:22.060 --> 00:02:26.300
 The cross is in view within even 24 hours.

00:02:26.300 --> 00:02:30.760
 Jesus has lived in an amazing way, certainly.

00:02:31.219 --> 00:02:37.920
 Unheard of miracles, astonishing claims, unusual company, challenging teaching.

00:02:41.020 --> 00:02:42.820
 But how will things go at the end?

00:02:44.720 --> 00:02:51.380
 John just spent five full chapters, our entire fall, on Thursday alone of Jesus' final week.

00:02:51.379 --> 00:02:58.099
 And He's going to zero in now as we head towards Friday and the steps leading to the death of

00:02:58.099 --> 00:03:02.280
 the one who promised to be life for all who believe in Him.

00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:09.079
 The crucified King and eventually the risen King.

00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:12.460
 Let's ask God to help us see Him clearly.

00:03:14.919 --> 00:03:19.180
 Father, You delight to show us Jesus.

00:03:21.379 --> 00:03:22.719
 We're so thankful.

00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:28.379
 It's our first commitment as a church to be Christ-centered.

00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:32.599
 And as simple as it sounds, it is so hard for us.

00:03:33.519 --> 00:03:36.280
 Fix our eyes even now upon Him.

00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:40.859
 Holy Spirit, shine the spotlight on Jesus.

00:03:41.319 --> 00:03:46.379
 Don't let us miss Him this morning or leave unchanged by Him.

00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:49.620
 We ask it in His name.

00:03:49.620 --> 00:03:51.060
 Amen.

00:03:51.379 --> 00:03:51.780
 Amen.

00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:55.879
 John chapter 18 at verse 1.

00:03:56.719 --> 00:04:00.319
 The same night that Jesus has washed His disciples' feet,

00:04:00.939 --> 00:04:03.879
 has taught them in the upper room,

00:04:04.019 --> 00:04:06.859
 has shared the last supper with them,

00:04:07.099 --> 00:04:11.199
 has then prayed to His Father for them and for us,

00:04:11.479 --> 00:04:14.000
 He now moves toward the cross.

00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:17.600
 When Jesus had spoken these words,

00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:20.759
 He went out with His disciples across the Kidron Valley,

00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:23.819
 where there was a garden which He and His disciples entered.

00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:28.139
 Now Judas, who betrayed Him, also knew the place,

00:04:28.220 --> 00:04:30.860
 for Jesus often met there with His disciples.

00:04:30.860 --> 00:04:38.740
 So Judas, having procured a band of soldiers and some officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees,

00:04:38.740 --> 00:04:42.720
 went there with lanterns and torches and weapons.

00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:48.060
 Then Jesus, knowing all that would happen to Him,

00:04:48.060 --> 00:04:51.520
 came forward and said to them,

00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:52.779
 whom do you seek?

00:04:53.859 --> 00:04:54.899
 They answered Him,

00:04:54.979 --> 00:04:56.219
 Jesus of Nazareth.

00:04:57.019 --> 00:04:58.180
 Jesus said to them,

00:04:58.479 --> 00:05:00.359
 I am He.

00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:04.839
 Judas, who betrayed Him, was standing with them.

00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:06.139
 When Jesus said to them,

00:05:06.299 --> 00:05:07.240
 I am He,

00:05:07.240 --> 00:05:09.639
 they drew back and they fell to the ground.

00:05:11.420 --> 00:05:12.819
 So He asked them again,

00:05:13.060 --> 00:05:15.079
 whom do you seek?

00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:16.480
 And they said,

00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:17.780
 Jesus of Nazareth.

00:05:19.100 --> 00:05:19.900
 Jesus answered,

00:05:20.019 --> 00:05:22.220
 I told you that I am He.

00:05:22.439 --> 00:05:23.740
 So if you seek Me,

00:05:23.980 --> 00:05:25.360
 let these men go.

00:05:26.019 --> 00:05:28.340
 This was to fulfill the word that He had spoken.

00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:30.040
 Of those whom you gave Me,

00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:32.540
 I have lost not one.

00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:34.900
 Then Simon Peter,

00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:35.780
 having a sword,

00:05:35.779 --> 00:05:37.919
 drew it and struck the high priest's servant

00:05:37.919 --> 00:05:39.459
 and cut off his right ear.

00:05:39.899 --> 00:05:41.899
 The servant's name was Malchus.

00:05:42.939 --> 00:05:44.239
 So Jesus said to Peter,

00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:46.819
 put your sword into its sheath.

00:05:47.859 --> 00:05:49.619
 Shall I not drink the cup

00:05:49.619 --> 00:05:51.899
 that the Father has given Me?

00:05:53.659 --> 00:05:55.919
 Thus far God's holy word.

00:05:59.739 --> 00:06:00.859
 Those are tense,

00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:03.319
 powerful moments, aren't they?

00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:06.719
 right outside the crowded streets of Jerusalem,

00:06:07.139 --> 00:06:09.779
 the weekend of the big Passover feast.

00:06:10.959 --> 00:06:12.459
 I want you for a minute

00:06:12.459 --> 00:06:13.719
 to imagine yourself

00:06:13.719 --> 00:06:16.680
 as one of Jesus' followers that night.

00:06:17.980 --> 00:06:19.800
 Perhaps John himself,

00:06:19.939 --> 00:06:22.539
 peering out from behind a tree in the garden,

00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:25.519
 getting his eyewitness view.

00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:27.899
 Or maybe another disciple,

00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:29.459
 perhaps further off,

00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:31.099
 watching from a distance.

00:06:33.159 --> 00:06:34.299
 What you would see

00:06:34.299 --> 00:06:36.399
 if you're looking out from there

00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:38.719
 is a stark opposition

00:06:38.719 --> 00:06:41.199
 and a total mismatch.

00:06:42.659 --> 00:06:43.359
 You look up

00:06:43.359 --> 00:06:44.159
 and in one corner

00:06:44.159 --> 00:06:46.279
 is a group commentators agree

00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:48.959
 number several hundred men.

00:06:49.099 --> 00:06:50.500
 More than perhaps you imagined

00:06:50.500 --> 00:06:52.379
 when I read the story.

00:06:52.379 --> 00:06:54.040
 You'd forgotten, hadn't you,

00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:55.100
 how many soldiers

00:06:55.100 --> 00:06:56.079
 the Romans sent

00:06:56.079 --> 00:06:57.040
 to keep peace

00:06:57.040 --> 00:06:59.500
 during the busy feast week.

00:07:00.779 --> 00:07:01.180
 Judas,

00:07:01.740 --> 00:07:02.800
 you know him.

00:07:03.259 --> 00:07:03.800
 He's there

00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:05.240
 and he's surrounded

00:07:05.240 --> 00:07:06.540
 by these armed

00:07:06.540 --> 00:07:08.480
 and dangerous soldiers.

00:07:08.719 --> 00:07:09.980
 Hundreds of them.

00:07:10.399 --> 00:07:12.439
 As well as some key Jewish leaders.

00:07:12.600 --> 00:07:14.100
 You recognize even some of them

00:07:14.100 --> 00:07:14.920
 from the temple.

00:07:16.159 --> 00:07:16.699
 There they are,

00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:18.000
 a band of several hundred

00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:20.500
 stepping forward to meet them.

00:07:20.500 --> 00:07:22.819
 is Jesus.

00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:25.519
 A solitary figure

00:07:25.519 --> 00:07:27.980
 who's been praying

00:07:27.980 --> 00:07:30.319
 emotionally in the garden.

00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:33.319
 Now with just a handful

00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:35.819
 of followers behind him.

00:07:36.779 --> 00:07:37.699
 There you are looking.

00:07:38.319 --> 00:07:39.040
 Who you got?

00:07:41.180 --> 00:07:42.040
 Maybe better,

00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:43.759
 how fast can you disappear?

00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:46.480
 This is not going to end well,

00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:46.920
 is it?

00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:48.519
 You know it's not.

00:07:48.519 --> 00:07:51.599
 Now Jesus is pretty amazing.

00:07:51.719 --> 00:07:52.299
 I mean you've seen him

00:07:52.299 --> 00:07:53.419
 do lots of things.

00:07:53.539 --> 00:07:54.359
 You've seen him escape

00:07:54.359 --> 00:07:55.519
 the crowds before

00:07:55.519 --> 00:07:57.099
 when they came to make him

00:07:57.099 --> 00:07:58.240
 king by force

00:07:58.240 --> 00:07:59.000
 and he disappeared.

00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:00.519
 On another occasion

00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:02.060
 when they would have stoned him

00:08:02.060 --> 00:08:03.199
 and he slipped through.

00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:06.319
 But this feels different.

00:08:06.759 --> 00:08:07.919
 Now you can tell

00:08:07.919 --> 00:08:09.659
 the forces of darkness

00:08:09.659 --> 00:08:10.799
 mean business.

00:08:12.339 --> 00:08:14.199
 Consider all of the opposition

00:08:14.199 --> 00:08:15.519
 that Jesus is facing

00:08:16.079 --> 00:08:17.479
 in this moment.

00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:19.799
 He's facing

00:08:19.799 --> 00:08:21.319
 personal betrayal

00:08:21.319 --> 00:08:23.759
 from a friend

00:08:23.759 --> 00:08:24.579
 like Judas.

00:08:24.719 --> 00:08:26.579
 That can feel overwhelming,

00:08:27.180 --> 00:08:27.719
 can't it?

00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:29.120
 Overwhelming enough

00:08:29.120 --> 00:08:30.159
 for any of us

00:08:30.159 --> 00:08:31.279
 to be broken.

00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:34.379
 Combine that

00:08:34.379 --> 00:08:36.319
 with the religious leaders

00:08:36.319 --> 00:08:37.819
 of his day.

00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:39.759
 Corrupt as some of them were.

00:08:39.939 --> 00:08:40.659
 They were in charge

00:08:40.659 --> 00:08:41.679
 and they were out

00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:42.399
 to get him.

00:08:42.600 --> 00:08:43.639
 How discouraging

00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:44.539
 must that be

00:08:44.539 --> 00:08:46.000
 for a man who himself

00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:46.659
 is seeking

00:08:46.659 --> 00:08:48.240
 to lead people to God

00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:49.899
 but all of God's people

00:08:49.899 --> 00:08:51.139
 are out to get him.

00:08:53.519 --> 00:08:54.320
 And lest any doubt

00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:54.980
 be left

00:08:54.980 --> 00:08:56.159
 as to the ability

00:08:56.159 --> 00:08:56.940
 of the group

00:08:56.940 --> 00:08:58.600
 to finish the job,

00:08:58.899 --> 00:08:59.659
 the greatest

00:08:59.659 --> 00:09:01.159
 political power

00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:02.379
 on the planet

00:09:02.379 --> 00:09:05.000
 comes with lanterns

00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:06.019
 and torches

00:09:06.019 --> 00:09:08.039
 and weapons

00:09:08.039 --> 00:09:10.240
 to extinguish

00:09:10.240 --> 00:09:11.939
 the so-called

00:09:11.939 --> 00:09:13.839
 light of the world.

00:09:15.279 --> 00:09:15.919
 Emotional

00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:17.139
 opposition,

00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:18.719
 spiritual

00:09:18.719 --> 00:09:20.299
 opposition,

00:09:20.699 --> 00:09:21.319
 physical

00:09:21.319 --> 00:09:22.319
 opposition.

00:09:22.740 --> 00:09:23.139
 Jesus

00:09:23.139 --> 00:09:24.959
 is way outmanned

00:09:24.959 --> 00:09:26.039
 it seems.

00:09:27.480 --> 00:09:28.059
 And yet

00:09:28.059 --> 00:09:28.980
 what unfolds

00:09:28.980 --> 00:09:30.219
 is utterly

00:09:30.219 --> 00:09:31.480
 unbelievable.

00:09:32.259 --> 00:09:33.319
 It's also

00:09:33.319 --> 00:09:34.500
 eternally hopeful.

00:09:34.679 --> 00:09:35.199
 I hope

00:09:35.199 --> 00:09:36.199
 that it fills you

00:09:36.200 --> 00:09:36.600
 with hope

00:09:36.600 --> 00:09:37.080
 this morning

00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:37.640
 because

00:09:37.640 --> 00:09:38.780
 we've faced

00:09:38.780 --> 00:09:39.220
 overwhelming

00:09:39.220 --> 00:09:40.160
 opposition too,

00:09:40.259 --> 00:09:40.520
 yes?

00:09:41.780 --> 00:09:43.060
 Even as we hide

00:09:43.060 --> 00:09:43.820
 behind the tree

00:09:43.820 --> 00:09:45.160
 and look on,

00:09:45.280 --> 00:09:46.040
 what's going to happen?

00:09:47.500 --> 00:09:48.379
 In the face

00:09:48.379 --> 00:09:49.379
 of overwhelming

00:09:49.379 --> 00:09:50.120
 opposition,

00:09:50.680 --> 00:09:51.060
 Jesus

00:09:51.060 --> 00:09:52.620
 stands out

00:09:52.620 --> 00:09:53.940
 and he shines

00:09:53.940 --> 00:09:54.520
 bright.

00:09:55.080 --> 00:09:55.940
 Don't take

00:09:55.940 --> 00:09:56.480
 your eyes

00:09:56.480 --> 00:09:57.379
 off Jesus

00:09:57.379 --> 00:09:58.640
 as we follow

00:09:58.640 --> 00:09:59.180
 this story,

00:09:59.259 --> 00:09:59.460
 okay?

00:09:59.620 --> 00:10:00.320
 Don't miss him.

00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:01.180
 It's really amazing.

00:10:01.379 --> 00:10:01.600
 First,

00:10:01.700 --> 00:10:02.300
 we're going to notice

00:10:02.300 --> 00:10:03.340
 his sovereign

00:10:03.340 --> 00:10:04.540
 control.

00:10:04.539 --> 00:10:06.099
 there may be

00:10:06.099 --> 00:10:06.599
 nothing more

00:10:06.599 --> 00:10:07.419
 striking in this

00:10:07.419 --> 00:10:08.219
 whole interaction

00:10:08.219 --> 00:10:09.519
 than the fact

00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:10.259
 that Jesus,

00:10:11.019 --> 00:10:11.839
 outnumbered

00:10:11.839 --> 00:10:13.120
 as he appears

00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:13.759
 to be,

00:10:14.179 --> 00:10:15.339
 is in charge

00:10:15.339 --> 00:10:16.360
 of the whole

00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:16.939
 encounter

00:10:16.939 --> 00:10:18.240
 with hundreds

00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:19.259
 of Jewish

00:10:19.259 --> 00:10:19.939
 and Roman

00:10:19.939 --> 00:10:20.839
 leaders.

00:10:21.639 --> 00:10:22.480
 Just as he said,

00:10:22.599 --> 00:10:23.699
 no one takes

00:10:23.699 --> 00:10:24.339
 his life

00:10:24.339 --> 00:10:25.240
 from him.

00:10:25.959 --> 00:10:26.059
 Right?

00:10:26.179 --> 00:10:26.799
 John wants us

00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:27.659
 to realize that.

00:10:28.620 --> 00:10:29.679
 Whatever the outcome

00:10:29.679 --> 00:10:30.039
 here,

00:10:30.139 --> 00:10:31.000
 whatever happens

00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:31.639
 to Jesus,

00:10:31.980 --> 00:10:33.039
 he is calling

00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:34.059
 the shots,

00:10:34.120 --> 00:10:34.580
 isn't he?

00:10:35.620 --> 00:10:35.799
 I mean,

00:10:36.379 --> 00:10:36.919
 notice,

00:10:37.100 --> 00:10:38.080
 wouldn't you expect

00:10:38.080 --> 00:10:38.379
 him to make

00:10:38.379 --> 00:10:39.080
 pretty quick work

00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:39.440
 of him,

00:10:40.360 --> 00:10:41.159
 numbers-wise?

00:10:41.700 --> 00:10:42.360
 He's certainly

00:10:42.360 --> 00:10:43.200
 not in a strong

00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:43.940
 position for

00:10:43.940 --> 00:10:44.639
 negotiation,

00:10:44.639 --> 00:10:45.159
 is he?

00:10:46.799 --> 00:10:47.539
 And yet,

00:10:48.059 --> 00:10:50.000
 he initiates

00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:50.919
 the conversation.

00:10:51.759 --> 00:10:52.820
 I can't say

00:10:52.820 --> 00:10:53.379
 for sure,

00:10:53.600 --> 00:10:55.120
 but even the fact

00:10:55.120 --> 00:10:56.220
 that he's asking

00:10:56.220 --> 00:10:57.000
 the questions

00:10:57.000 --> 00:10:58.019
 here makes

00:10:58.019 --> 00:10:59.220
 it sound to me

00:10:59.220 --> 00:11:00.040
 a little bit

00:11:00.040 --> 00:11:00.700
 like it must

00:11:00.700 --> 00:11:01.060
 have been,

00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:02.060
 whom do you

00:11:02.060 --> 00:11:02.639
 seek?

00:11:04.320 --> 00:11:05.500
 And the response,

00:11:06.660 --> 00:11:07.740
 well,

00:11:07.899 --> 00:11:08.139
 well,

00:11:08.139 --> 00:11:08.340
 sir,

00:11:09.259 --> 00:11:09.519
 I mean,

00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:10.180
 Jesus of

00:11:10.180 --> 00:11:10.720
 Nazareth?

00:11:11.680 --> 00:11:12.160
 Maybe?

00:11:14.300 --> 00:11:15.560
 In just a moment,

00:11:15.940 --> 00:11:17.259
 he will give

00:11:17.259 --> 00:11:18.960
 them directions,

00:11:19.740 --> 00:11:20.300
 demanding,

00:11:20.860 --> 00:11:21.399
 if you can

00:11:21.399 --> 00:11:22.000
 imagine it,

00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:22.720
 that they let

00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:23.379
 his followers

00:11:23.379 --> 00:11:23.840
 go.

00:11:25.460 --> 00:11:26.080
 And he

00:11:26.080 --> 00:11:26.779
 remains so

00:11:26.779 --> 00:11:27.360
 in control

00:11:27.360 --> 00:11:28.300
 of this whole

00:11:28.300 --> 00:11:29.040
 scene that

00:11:29.039 --> 00:11:30.519
 somehow,

00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:31.559
 can you imagine

00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:31.759
 this?

00:11:31.980 --> 00:11:32.659
 When Peter

00:11:32.659 --> 00:11:34.000
 cuts off the

00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:35.419
 ear of one

00:11:35.419 --> 00:11:36.279
 in their party,

00:11:36.839 --> 00:11:38.159
 they seem

00:11:38.159 --> 00:11:38.759
 frozen.

00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:40.339
 They seem

00:11:40.339 --> 00:11:41.980
 to look on

00:11:41.980 --> 00:11:43.219
 calmly while

00:11:43.219 --> 00:11:44.179
 Jesus handles

00:11:44.179 --> 00:11:44.480
 it.

00:11:45.299 --> 00:11:46.039
 He handles

00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:46.839
 the instigator,

00:11:47.339 --> 00:11:47.579
 Peter,

00:11:48.579 --> 00:11:49.399
 and the

00:11:49.399 --> 00:11:49.759
 injury.

00:11:51.980 --> 00:11:52.919
 There is

00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:53.639
 something about

00:11:53.639 --> 00:11:54.439
 this Jesus,

00:11:55.259 --> 00:11:55.879
 isn't there?

00:11:56.559 --> 00:11:58.159
 Something very

00:11:58.159 --> 00:11:59.100
 unusual.

00:11:59.659 --> 00:12:00.679
 In the moment

00:12:00.679 --> 00:12:01.379
 that he

00:12:01.379 --> 00:12:02.579
 appears to be

00:12:02.579 --> 00:12:03.839
 least in

00:12:03.839 --> 00:12:04.459
 control,

00:12:04.740 --> 00:12:05.839
 most powerless,

00:12:06.100 --> 00:12:07.240
 he absolutely

00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:08.299
 is in

00:12:08.299 --> 00:12:08.860
 control.

00:12:11.379 --> 00:12:12.199
 Maybe you

00:12:12.199 --> 00:12:12.959
 can trust him

00:12:12.959 --> 00:12:13.579
 too,

00:12:14.179 --> 00:12:15.379
 when you face

00:12:15.379 --> 00:12:16.919
 opposition.

00:12:17.439 --> 00:12:17.980
 Maybe he's

00:12:17.980 --> 00:12:18.659
 still in control

00:12:18.659 --> 00:12:19.279
 in your life

00:12:19.279 --> 00:12:19.879
 when it feels

00:12:19.879 --> 00:12:21.480
 like he's not.

00:12:21.480 --> 00:12:21.539
 God.

00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:24.980
 But then if

00:12:24.980 --> 00:12:25.399
 his first

00:12:25.399 --> 00:12:26.379
 question didn't

00:12:26.379 --> 00:12:27.320
 rattle their

00:12:27.320 --> 00:12:27.860
 helmets,

00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:28.940
 his next

00:12:28.940 --> 00:12:30.139
 words clearly

00:12:30.139 --> 00:12:30.580
 did.

00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:31.700
 Ego

00:12:31.700 --> 00:12:32.480
 a me,

00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:35.800
 I am.

00:12:37.659 --> 00:12:38.200
 And John

00:12:38.200 --> 00:12:38.659
 says,

00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:39.700
 as Jesus

00:12:39.700 --> 00:12:40.379
 others those

00:12:40.379 --> 00:12:40.720
 words,

00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:42.019
 Judas was

00:12:42.019 --> 00:12:42.500
 standing,

00:12:44.379 --> 00:12:44.980
 the several

00:12:44.980 --> 00:12:46.139
 hundred men

00:12:46.139 --> 00:12:47.100
 were standing,

00:12:47.100 --> 00:12:47.180
 standing,

00:12:47.940 --> 00:12:50.000
 and suddenly

00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:52.159
 Jesus alone

00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:53.899
 was standing.

00:12:55.060 --> 00:12:56.060
 They drew

00:12:56.060 --> 00:12:56.720
 back,

00:12:57.300 --> 00:12:57.680
 and they

00:12:57.680 --> 00:12:58.340
 fell to the

00:12:58.340 --> 00:12:58.860
 ground,

00:12:59.320 --> 00:13:00.440
 all of them

00:13:00.440 --> 00:13:01.080
 together.

00:13:04.659 --> 00:13:05.420
 That's a

00:13:05.420 --> 00:13:06.139
 sure sign of

00:13:06.139 --> 00:13:06.519
 defeat,

00:13:06.620 --> 00:13:07.019
 isn't it,

00:13:07.259 --> 00:13:07.840
 in any

00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:08.940
 encounter that

00:13:08.940 --> 00:13:09.200
 you would

00:13:09.200 --> 00:13:09.399
 have.

00:13:09.700 --> 00:13:10.759
 The lone

00:13:10.759 --> 00:13:11.700
 object of

00:13:11.700 --> 00:13:12.399
 their focus

00:13:12.399 --> 00:13:13.379
 just uttered

00:13:13.379 --> 00:13:14.860
 two words,

00:13:14.860 --> 00:13:16.899
 but there's

00:13:16.899 --> 00:13:17.980
 power in

00:13:17.980 --> 00:13:18.500
 this name,

00:13:18.600 --> 00:13:19.019
 isn't there?

00:13:21.060 --> 00:13:21.720
 Jesus has

00:13:21.720 --> 00:13:22.519
 repeatedly in

00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:23.320
 John finished

00:13:23.320 --> 00:13:24.039
 the sentence,

00:13:24.259 --> 00:13:25.080
 I am

00:13:25.080 --> 00:13:27.419
 the bread

00:13:27.419 --> 00:13:28.100
 of life,

00:13:28.980 --> 00:13:29.539
 the good

00:13:29.539 --> 00:13:30.060
 shepherd,

00:13:30.659 --> 00:13:31.340
 the light

00:13:31.340 --> 00:13:32.060
 of the world,

00:13:32.200 --> 00:13:33.019
 and so on,

00:13:33.060 --> 00:13:33.759
 all of which

00:13:33.759 --> 00:13:34.659
 may be in

00:13:34.659 --> 00:13:35.379
 view here,

00:13:35.480 --> 00:13:36.139
 but when he

00:13:36.139 --> 00:13:37.500
 says merely

00:13:37.500 --> 00:13:39.200
 ego a me,

00:13:40.500 --> 00:13:41.500
 Jewish minds

00:13:41.500 --> 00:13:41.940
 are running

00:13:41.940 --> 00:13:42.620
 much further

00:13:42.620 --> 00:13:43.360
 back than

00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:44.300
 Jesus

00:13:44.299 --> 00:13:45.419
 life.

00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:46.599
 As he said

00:13:46.599 --> 00:13:47.059
 just a few

00:13:47.059 --> 00:13:48.059
 chapters ago,

00:13:48.379 --> 00:13:49.699
 before Abraham

00:13:49.699 --> 00:13:50.919
 was,

00:13:51.219 --> 00:13:53.099
 I am.

00:13:53.719 --> 00:13:54.139
 And on

00:13:54.139 --> 00:13:54.879
 that occasion,

00:13:54.879 --> 00:13:55.419
 when they

00:13:55.419 --> 00:13:56.039
 heard those

00:13:56.039 --> 00:13:56.399
 words,

00:13:56.639 --> 00:13:57.120
 they picked

00:13:57.120 --> 00:13:57.919
 up stones

00:13:57.919 --> 00:13:58.779
 to kill

00:13:58.779 --> 00:14:00.039
 this blasphemer,

00:14:00.339 --> 00:14:00.879
 the one who

00:14:00.879 --> 00:14:01.639
 would claim

00:14:01.639 --> 00:14:03.399
 equality with

00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:04.199
 Yahweh,

00:14:04.459 --> 00:14:05.120
 the one

00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:06.939
 true God.

00:14:07.299 --> 00:14:07.879
 This,

00:14:08.039 --> 00:14:08.879
 as you know,

00:14:08.959 --> 00:14:10.019
 is the name,

00:14:10.319 --> 00:14:11.240
 the powerful

00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:12.120
 name by which

00:14:12.120 --> 00:14:12.899
 God identified

00:14:12.899 --> 00:14:13.740
 himself to

00:14:13.740 --> 00:14:14.159
 Moses,

00:14:14.960 --> 00:14:15.759
 first in a

00:14:15.759 --> 00:14:16.620
 burning bush,

00:14:17.960 --> 00:14:18.680
 and then to

00:14:18.680 --> 00:14:19.539
 his people in

00:14:19.539 --> 00:14:19.899
 Egypt.

00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:21.419
 You can even

00:14:21.419 --> 00:14:21.879
 go back to

00:14:21.879 --> 00:14:22.799
 creation because

00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:23.879
 John 1 tells

00:14:23.879 --> 00:14:24.320
 us this,

00:14:24.639 --> 00:14:25.940
 Jesus was in

00:14:25.940 --> 00:14:26.519
 the beginning

00:14:26.519 --> 00:14:28.279
 with God.

00:14:28.820 --> 00:14:29.259
 Now,

00:14:29.440 --> 00:14:30.879
 please understand,

00:14:31.220 --> 00:14:31.899
 we have to

00:14:31.899 --> 00:14:32.399
 understand,

00:14:32.539 --> 00:14:33.539
 this is different

00:14:33.539 --> 00:14:34.759
 from every

00:14:34.759 --> 00:14:35.980
 other religion,

00:14:36.700 --> 00:14:36.960
 okay?

00:14:37.960 --> 00:14:38.659
 Christianity,

00:14:38.659 --> 00:14:38.860
 Christianity,

00:14:39.100 --> 00:14:40.259
 this Jesus

00:14:40.259 --> 00:14:41.779
 standing before

00:14:41.779 --> 00:14:42.939
 overwhelming

00:14:42.939 --> 00:14:44.139
 opposition

00:14:44.139 --> 00:14:45.919
 cannot be

00:14:45.919 --> 00:14:46.959
 one among

00:14:46.959 --> 00:14:47.419
 many,

00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:49.360
 an option on

00:14:49.360 --> 00:14:50.019
 the buffet.

00:14:51.399 --> 00:14:52.459
 Every other

00:14:52.459 --> 00:14:53.019
 leader,

00:14:53.459 --> 00:14:53.980
 teacher,

00:14:54.500 --> 00:14:54.860
 guru,

00:14:55.399 --> 00:14:56.179
 influencer

00:14:56.179 --> 00:14:57.059
 says,

00:14:57.179 --> 00:14:57.699
 let me show

00:14:57.699 --> 00:14:58.299
 you the way.

00:14:59.740 --> 00:15:00.799
 Jesus says,

00:15:01.459 --> 00:15:02.539
 I am

00:15:02.539 --> 00:15:04.179
 the way.

00:15:04.179 --> 00:15:06.159
 every other

00:15:06.159 --> 00:15:07.179
 prophet says,

00:15:07.339 --> 00:15:08.000
 let me tell

00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:08.939
 you the truth.

00:15:09.359 --> 00:15:10.239
 Jesus says,

00:15:10.439 --> 00:15:11.399
 I am

00:15:11.399 --> 00:15:13.000
 the truth.

00:15:13.479 --> 00:15:14.199
 Every other

00:15:14.199 --> 00:15:14.939
 religion says,

00:15:15.019 --> 00:15:15.799
 let me point you

00:15:15.799 --> 00:15:16.419
 to life.

00:15:16.779 --> 00:15:17.539
 Jesus says,

00:15:17.779 --> 00:15:18.859
 I am

00:15:18.859 --> 00:15:19.979
 the life,

00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:21.099
 the one

00:15:21.099 --> 00:15:22.339
 true God

00:15:22.339 --> 00:15:23.239
 himself.

00:15:24.179 --> 00:15:24.719
 Did he really

00:15:24.719 --> 00:15:25.659
 mean this?

00:15:25.859 --> 00:15:26.799
 Some would ask.

00:15:27.179 --> 00:15:27.399
 Oh,

00:15:27.459 --> 00:15:28.000
 absolutely.

00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:30.320
 just ask one

00:15:30.320 --> 00:15:30.899
 of his few

00:15:30.899 --> 00:15:31.419
 followers

00:15:31.419 --> 00:15:33.600
 who could

00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:34.559
 have easily

00:15:34.559 --> 00:15:35.279
 saved their

00:15:35.279 --> 00:15:36.220
 own skins,

00:15:37.200 --> 00:15:37.919
 but instead

00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:38.740
 one after

00:15:38.740 --> 00:15:39.419
 another

00:15:39.419 --> 00:15:40.340
 give their

00:15:40.340 --> 00:15:41.220
 lives

00:15:41.220 --> 00:15:42.360
 to spread

00:15:42.360 --> 00:15:43.559
 this claim.

00:15:45.279 --> 00:15:45.860
 Just ask

00:15:45.860 --> 00:15:46.159
 one of his

00:15:46.159 --> 00:15:46.820
 opponents if

00:15:46.820 --> 00:15:47.320
 you prefer,

00:15:47.759 --> 00:15:48.919
 like Malchus

00:15:48.919 --> 00:15:50.000
 for example,

00:15:51.120 --> 00:15:52.039
 whose otherwise

00:15:52.039 --> 00:15:53.200
 not noteworthy

00:15:53.200 --> 00:15:54.320
 name is almost

00:15:54.320 --> 00:15:55.340
 certainly included

00:15:55.340 --> 00:15:55.899
 here because

00:15:55.899 --> 00:15:56.720
 this is how you

00:15:56.720 --> 00:15:57.340
 write ancient

00:15:57.340 --> 00:15:57.919
 history.

00:15:58.000 --> 00:15:58.519
 Ancient

00:15:58.519 --> 00:15:59.240
 history is

00:15:59.240 --> 00:15:59.740
 written with

00:15:59.740 --> 00:16:01.320
 eyewitnesses,

00:16:01.600 --> 00:16:02.500
 likely as

00:16:02.500 --> 00:16:03.039
 servant a

00:16:03.039 --> 00:16:03.679
 younger man

00:16:03.679 --> 00:16:04.899
 in the group,

00:16:05.220 --> 00:16:06.059
 likely then still

00:16:06.059 --> 00:16:07.299
 alive when John

00:16:07.299 --> 00:16:08.299
 circulates his

00:16:08.299 --> 00:16:09.100
 account and

00:16:09.100 --> 00:16:09.899
 likely if you

00:16:09.899 --> 00:16:10.700
 talk to Malchus

00:16:10.700 --> 00:16:11.519
 he's got quite

00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:12.000
 a story.

00:16:13.340 --> 00:16:13.860
 He can even

00:16:13.860 --> 00:16:14.379
 hear you.

00:16:17.860 --> 00:16:18.659
 But as much

00:16:18.659 --> 00:16:19.200
 as Christianity

00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:20.120
 is different from

00:16:20.120 --> 00:16:20.539
 every other

00:16:20.539 --> 00:16:20.960
 religion,

00:16:21.259 --> 00:16:21.980
 we have to

00:16:21.980 --> 00:16:22.720
 understand this

00:16:22.720 --> 00:16:23.720
 is also different

00:16:23.720 --> 00:16:24.879
 from irreligion

00:16:24.879 --> 00:16:26.840
 and naturalism

00:16:26.840 --> 00:16:27.980
 and humanism

00:16:27.980 --> 00:16:29.399
 of our day.

00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:31.480
 This Jesus

00:16:31.480 --> 00:16:32.779
 is unlike

00:16:32.779 --> 00:16:34.100
 any other

00:16:34.100 --> 00:16:34.560
 man.

00:16:35.759 --> 00:16:36.240
 He doesn't

00:16:36.240 --> 00:16:36.940
 bow to

00:16:36.940 --> 00:16:37.980
 power dynamics.

00:16:38.899 --> 00:16:39.379
 He doesn't

00:16:39.379 --> 00:16:40.279
 yield to

00:16:40.279 --> 00:16:41.480
 normal human

00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:42.440
 limitations.

00:16:42.940 --> 00:16:43.920
 He stands

00:16:43.920 --> 00:16:45.360
 out as an

00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:46.539
 otherworldly

00:16:46.539 --> 00:16:47.940
 presence in

00:16:47.940 --> 00:16:49.379
 this world.

00:16:49.960 --> 00:16:51.560
 Something most

00:16:51.560 --> 00:16:52.680
 in our culture

00:16:52.680 --> 00:16:53.659
 would have no

00:16:53.659 --> 00:16:54.500
 room to account

00:16:54.500 --> 00:16:55.039
 for.

00:16:56.299 --> 00:16:57.000
 We can't

00:16:57.000 --> 00:16:57.720
 explain him.

00:16:57.960 --> 00:16:58.539
 This is no

00:16:58.539 --> 00:16:59.360
 man to be

00:16:59.360 --> 00:17:00.179
 taken lightly.

00:17:00.559 --> 00:17:01.279
 When he speaks

00:17:01.279 --> 00:17:02.019
 his name,

00:17:02.279 --> 00:17:03.299
 I am.

00:17:04.599 --> 00:17:05.559
 No one else

00:17:05.559 --> 00:17:06.039
 is standing.

00:17:08.539 --> 00:17:09.240
 Have you

00:17:09.240 --> 00:17:09.619
 encountered

00:17:09.619 --> 00:17:10.279
 Jesus like

00:17:10.279 --> 00:17:10.559
 that?

00:17:11.460 --> 00:17:12.160
 And been

00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:13.500
 knocked off

00:17:13.500 --> 00:17:14.039
 your feet?

00:17:15.500 --> 00:17:16.500
 We need to.

00:17:17.460 --> 00:17:18.079
 That's what it

00:17:18.079 --> 00:17:19.000
 means to be

00:17:19.000 --> 00:17:19.839
 Christ-centered,

00:17:20.180 --> 00:17:20.619
 by the way.

00:17:20.619 --> 00:17:22.739
 God-man

00:17:22.739 --> 00:17:23.239
 is standing

00:17:23.239 --> 00:17:24.699
 in your own

00:17:24.699 --> 00:17:25.399
 strength,

00:17:26.679 --> 00:17:27.779
 but rather

00:17:27.779 --> 00:17:29.000
 from the ground

00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:29.959
 each day

00:17:29.959 --> 00:17:31.199
 to see Jesus

00:17:31.199 --> 00:17:32.179
 as the

00:17:32.179 --> 00:17:33.159
 strong one.

00:17:33.500 --> 00:17:33.779
 Yes,

00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:34.679
 he will pick

00:17:34.679 --> 00:17:35.519
 you up in

00:17:35.519 --> 00:17:35.859
 love,

00:17:36.119 --> 00:17:36.859
 but it starts

00:17:36.859 --> 00:17:37.259
 with hearing

00:17:37.259 --> 00:17:37.739
 him say,

00:17:37.919 --> 00:17:38.139
 I am,

00:17:38.199 --> 00:17:38.839
 and falling

00:17:38.839 --> 00:17:39.959
 on your face

00:17:39.959 --> 00:17:41.379
 before him.

00:17:42.419 --> 00:17:43.399
 He is the

00:17:43.399 --> 00:17:44.679
 last man

00:17:44.679 --> 00:17:45.519
 standing,

00:17:45.519 --> 00:17:48.139
 the unparalleled

00:17:48.139 --> 00:17:49.279
 God-man

00:17:49.279 --> 00:17:50.400
 before whom

00:17:50.400 --> 00:17:51.700
 no one

00:17:51.700 --> 00:17:52.759
 can stand.

00:17:53.660 --> 00:17:54.339
 He stands

00:17:54.339 --> 00:17:54.839
 out among

00:17:54.839 --> 00:17:55.519
 the most

00:17:55.519 --> 00:17:56.319
 powerful

00:17:56.319 --> 00:17:56.799
 of the

00:17:56.799 --> 00:17:57.379
 powerful.

00:17:57.879 --> 00:17:58.500
 No one

00:17:58.500 --> 00:17:59.299
 is his

00:17:59.299 --> 00:17:59.900
 equal.

00:18:00.400 --> 00:18:01.079
 No one

00:18:01.079 --> 00:18:01.779
 else

00:18:01.779 --> 00:18:02.980
 stands.

00:18:06.599 --> 00:18:07.480
 Except,

00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:09.220
 instead of

00:18:09.220 --> 00:18:09.559
 them all

00:18:09.559 --> 00:18:10.680
 just disappearing

00:18:10.680 --> 00:18:12.180
 as they've

00:18:12.180 --> 00:18:13.160
 fallen back,

00:18:13.879 --> 00:18:14.960
 Jesus instead,

00:18:14.960 --> 00:18:16.180
 invites them

00:18:16.180 --> 00:18:16.700
 back into

00:18:16.700 --> 00:18:17.380
 conversation.

00:18:18.079 --> 00:18:18.720
 It's a bit

00:18:18.720 --> 00:18:19.360
 comedic,

00:18:19.579 --> 00:18:19.980
 honestly.

00:18:20.380 --> 00:18:20.799
 It's as though

00:18:20.799 --> 00:18:21.140
 he's saying,

00:18:21.480 --> 00:18:22.420
 sorry,

00:18:22.799 --> 00:18:23.960
 could you tell

00:18:23.960 --> 00:18:24.480
 me again

00:18:24.480 --> 00:18:25.019
 who it was

00:18:25.019 --> 00:18:25.240
 you were

00:18:25.240 --> 00:18:25.779
 looking for?

00:18:27.360 --> 00:18:28.059
 Did you

00:18:28.059 --> 00:18:28.600
 forget why

00:18:28.600 --> 00:18:29.180
 you came?

00:18:31.500 --> 00:18:32.360
 Just notice

00:18:32.360 --> 00:18:32.980
 briefly the

00:18:32.980 --> 00:18:33.900
 power of

00:18:33.900 --> 00:18:34.559
 his word.

00:18:36.120 --> 00:18:37.259
 Something more

00:18:37.259 --> 00:18:37.900
 than intellectual

00:18:37.900 --> 00:18:38.900
 recognition was

00:18:38.900 --> 00:18:39.819
 going on when

00:18:39.819 --> 00:18:40.340
 he said,

00:18:40.440 --> 00:18:40.700
 ego,

00:18:40.840 --> 00:18:41.240
 a me,

00:18:41.360 --> 00:18:42.360
 because many

00:18:42.360 --> 00:18:42.759
 of those

00:18:42.759 --> 00:18:43.579
 Roman soldiers

00:18:43.579 --> 00:18:44.139
 wouldn't have

00:18:44.139 --> 00:18:44.899
 been familiar

00:18:44.899 --> 00:18:46.579
 with Yahweh,

00:18:46.960 --> 00:18:47.639
 and yet they

00:18:47.639 --> 00:18:48.539
 fall down

00:18:48.539 --> 00:18:49.460
 when he speaks.

00:18:49.619 --> 00:18:50.099
 That's

00:18:50.099 --> 00:18:51.279
 inexplicable

00:18:51.279 --> 00:18:51.819
 power.

00:18:52.059 --> 00:18:52.559
 It wouldn't

00:18:52.559 --> 00:18:53.379
 make sense.

00:18:54.240 --> 00:18:54.599
 And when

00:18:54.599 --> 00:18:55.559
 Jesus responds

00:18:55.559 --> 00:18:56.439
 to them this

00:18:56.439 --> 00:18:56.960
 time,

00:18:57.220 --> 00:18:58.019
 we're told in

00:18:58.019 --> 00:18:58.839
 verse 9

00:18:58.839 --> 00:18:59.539
 that his

00:18:59.539 --> 00:19:00.399
 order to let

00:19:00.399 --> 00:19:01.000
 these other

00:19:01.000 --> 00:19:01.699
 men go

00:19:01.699 --> 00:19:02.659
 was why?

00:19:02.759 --> 00:19:03.819
 To fulfill

00:19:03.819 --> 00:19:04.439
 the word

00:19:04.439 --> 00:19:05.199
 that he had

00:19:05.199 --> 00:19:05.759
 spoken.

00:19:06.699 --> 00:19:07.179
 In case you

00:19:07.179 --> 00:19:07.899
 don't recognize

00:19:07.899 --> 00:19:08.099
 it,

00:19:08.179 --> 00:19:09.139
 that's language

00:19:09.139 --> 00:19:10.639
 being applied

00:19:10.640 --> 00:19:11.060
 to the

00:19:11.060 --> 00:19:11.660
 words of

00:19:11.660 --> 00:19:12.100
 Jesus

00:19:12.100 --> 00:19:13.740
 that was

00:19:13.740 --> 00:19:14.480
 used for

00:19:14.480 --> 00:19:15.259
 all the

00:19:15.259 --> 00:19:15.640
 sacred

00:19:15.640 --> 00:19:16.160
 scriptures,

00:19:16.560 --> 00:19:16.980
 all the

00:19:16.980 --> 00:19:17.860
 holy prophets

00:19:17.860 --> 00:19:18.620
 when they

00:19:18.620 --> 00:19:19.200
 spoke.

00:19:19.600 --> 00:19:20.280
 When John

00:19:20.280 --> 00:19:21.280
 quotes them,

00:19:21.340 --> 00:19:21.759
 that's what

00:19:21.759 --> 00:19:22.320
 he says,

00:19:22.360 --> 00:19:22.920
 and now

00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:23.640
 he does it

00:19:23.640 --> 00:19:24.320
 with Jesus'

00:19:24.759 --> 00:19:25.040
 words.

00:19:25.340 --> 00:19:25.660
 Jesus'

00:19:25.660 --> 00:19:26.300
 word is

00:19:26.300 --> 00:19:27.120
 utterly

00:19:27.120 --> 00:19:28.180
 trustworthy.

00:19:29.800 --> 00:19:30.120
 Jesus

00:19:30.120 --> 00:19:31.500
 here is

00:19:31.500 --> 00:19:32.940
 in sovereign

00:19:32.940 --> 00:19:33.900
 control.

00:19:34.280 --> 00:19:35.080
 His very

00:19:35.080 --> 00:19:36.080
 presence,

00:19:37.120 --> 00:19:38.080
 his name,

00:19:38.520 --> 00:19:39.420
 his word,

00:19:39.420 --> 00:19:40.279
 are worth

00:19:40.279 --> 00:19:41.100
 trusting.

00:19:41.480 --> 00:19:41.840
 They can

00:19:41.840 --> 00:19:42.620
 flip any

00:19:42.620 --> 00:19:43.800
 power dynamic

00:19:43.800 --> 00:19:44.680
 you've ever

00:19:44.680 --> 00:19:45.320
 encountered,

00:19:45.580 --> 00:19:46.519
 any opposition

00:19:46.519 --> 00:19:47.120
 you've ever

00:19:47.120 --> 00:19:47.860
 faced.

00:19:50.060 --> 00:19:50.500
 I wonder

00:19:50.500 --> 00:19:50.820
 what he'll

00:19:50.820 --> 00:19:51.240
 use that

00:19:51.240 --> 00:19:52.160
 amazing power

00:19:52.160 --> 00:19:53.980
 for as he

00:19:53.980 --> 00:19:54.660
 turns the

00:19:54.660 --> 00:19:55.440
 tables on

00:19:55.440 --> 00:19:55.580
 them.

00:19:55.880 --> 00:19:56.420
 Can you

00:19:56.420 --> 00:19:57.019
 start to see

00:19:57.019 --> 00:19:57.500
 yourself getting

00:19:57.500 --> 00:19:57.880
 a little bit

00:19:57.880 --> 00:19:58.500
 fired up at

00:19:58.500 --> 00:19:59.060
 this point if

00:19:59.060 --> 00:19:59.980
 you're watching

00:19:59.980 --> 00:20:00.560
 Jesus and

00:20:00.560 --> 00:20:00.920
 you're one of

00:20:00.920 --> 00:20:01.460
 his followers?

00:20:01.800 --> 00:20:02.000
 I mean,

00:20:02.100 --> 00:20:02.420
 certainly,

00:20:02.580 --> 00:20:03.019
 clearly he's

00:20:03.019 --> 00:20:03.340
 going to use

00:20:03.340 --> 00:20:03.640
 it to get

00:20:03.640 --> 00:20:03.920
 away,

00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:04.220
 right?

00:20:04.600 --> 00:20:05.580
 But also

00:20:05.580 --> 00:20:06.240
 he's probably

00:20:06.240 --> 00:20:07.240
 going to humiliate

00:20:07.240 --> 00:20:07.880
 this band of

00:20:07.880 --> 00:20:08.180
 soldiers.

00:20:08.279 --> 00:20:08.600
 This is going

00:20:08.600 --> 00:20:09.140
 to be great

00:20:09.140 --> 00:20:10.140
 except not

00:20:10.140 --> 00:20:10.800
 exactly.

00:20:11.800 --> 00:20:13.300
 Verse 7,

00:20:13.840 --> 00:20:14.480
 he asked them

00:20:14.480 --> 00:20:14.860
 again,

00:20:14.960 --> 00:20:15.580
 whom do you

00:20:15.580 --> 00:20:16.100
 seek?

00:20:16.180 --> 00:20:16.540
 And they

00:20:16.540 --> 00:20:16.960
 said,

00:20:17.320 --> 00:20:18.020
 Jesus of

00:20:18.020 --> 00:20:18.759
 Nazareth.

00:20:20.340 --> 00:20:21.200
 Jesus answered,

00:20:21.500 --> 00:20:22.500
 I told you

00:20:22.500 --> 00:20:23.200
 that I am

00:20:23.200 --> 00:20:23.520
 he,

00:20:23.700 --> 00:20:24.280
 so if you

00:20:24.280 --> 00:20:25.080
 seek me,

00:20:26.140 --> 00:20:26.680
 let these

00:20:26.680 --> 00:20:27.380
 men go.

00:20:28.620 --> 00:20:29.280
 This was to

00:20:29.280 --> 00:20:29.860
 fulfill the

00:20:29.860 --> 00:20:30.420
 word that he

00:20:30.420 --> 00:20:31.100
 had spoken,

00:20:31.600 --> 00:20:32.480
 of those whom

00:20:32.480 --> 00:20:33.200
 you gave me,

00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:34.480
 I have lost

00:20:34.480 --> 00:20:36.500
 not one.

00:20:36.500 --> 00:20:38.880
 Jesus has

00:20:38.880 --> 00:20:39.640
 said this as

00:20:39.640 --> 00:20:40.500
 recently as

00:20:40.500 --> 00:20:41.500
 earlier tonight

00:20:41.500 --> 00:20:42.839
 in his

00:20:42.839 --> 00:20:44.119
 prayer in

00:20:44.119 --> 00:20:45.059
 John 17,

00:20:45.240 --> 00:20:45.440
 Father,

00:20:45.559 --> 00:20:46.059
 while I was

00:20:46.059 --> 00:20:46.519
 with them,

00:20:46.599 --> 00:20:47.099
 I kept

00:20:47.099 --> 00:20:47.500
 them in

00:20:47.500 --> 00:20:48.099
 your name

00:20:48.099 --> 00:20:48.500
 which you

00:20:48.500 --> 00:20:48.960
 have given

00:20:48.960 --> 00:20:49.259
 me.

00:20:49.799 --> 00:20:50.380
 I have

00:20:50.380 --> 00:20:50.920
 guarded

00:20:50.920 --> 00:20:51.920
 them and

00:20:51.920 --> 00:20:52.740
 not one

00:20:52.740 --> 00:20:53.160
 of them

00:20:53.160 --> 00:20:53.619
 has been

00:20:53.619 --> 00:20:54.579
 lost except

00:20:54.579 --> 00:20:55.259
 the son of

00:20:55.259 --> 00:20:55.819
 destruction

00:20:55.819 --> 00:20:56.339
 that the

00:20:56.339 --> 00:20:56.640
 scripture

00:20:56.640 --> 00:20:57.380
 might be

00:20:57.380 --> 00:20:58.160
 fulfilled.

00:20:59.759 --> 00:21:00.079
 I mean,

00:21:00.220 --> 00:21:00.720
 as his

00:21:00.720 --> 00:21:01.140
 followers,

00:21:01.359 --> 00:21:01.880
 you've got

00:21:01.880 --> 00:21:02.200
 to know,

00:21:02.400 --> 00:21:02.960
 their lives

00:21:02.960 --> 00:21:03.839
 were certainly

00:21:03.839 --> 00:21:04.919
 on the line,

00:21:05.139 --> 00:21:05.419
 right?

00:21:05.720 --> 00:21:06.199
 When you

00:21:06.199 --> 00:21:07.299
 come and

00:21:07.299 --> 00:21:07.799
 the leader's

00:21:07.799 --> 00:21:08.119
 going to be

00:21:08.119 --> 00:21:08.679
 taken out,

00:21:08.759 --> 00:21:09.059
 they would

00:21:09.059 --> 00:21:09.579
 be rounded

00:21:09.579 --> 00:21:10.119
 up with

00:21:10.119 --> 00:21:10.539
 the leader

00:21:10.539 --> 00:21:11.159
 typically.

00:21:12.759 --> 00:21:13.559
 But this

00:21:13.559 --> 00:21:13.859
 leader,

00:21:14.959 --> 00:21:16.539
 this good

00:21:16.539 --> 00:21:17.519
 shepherd,

00:21:18.439 --> 00:21:19.279
 is looking

00:21:19.279 --> 00:21:20.159
 out for

00:21:20.159 --> 00:21:20.740
 his sheep.

00:21:22.559 --> 00:21:23.359
 Don't miss

00:21:23.359 --> 00:21:24.039
 the wonder

00:21:24.039 --> 00:21:25.299
 of this

00:21:25.299 --> 00:21:26.099
 shepherding

00:21:26.099 --> 00:21:27.019
 protection.

00:21:27.359 --> 00:21:27.839
 Dear ones,

00:21:28.019 --> 00:21:29.059
 please don't

00:21:29.059 --> 00:21:29.659
 miss this.

00:21:30.079 --> 00:21:30.599
 When the

00:21:30.599 --> 00:21:31.740
 pressure rises

00:21:31.740 --> 00:21:32.859
 for Jesus,

00:21:32.859 --> 00:21:34.899
 he doesn't

00:21:34.899 --> 00:21:35.899
 forget us

00:21:35.899 --> 00:21:36.679
 in a race

00:21:36.679 --> 00:21:37.139
 to save

00:21:37.139 --> 00:21:37.500
 his own

00:21:37.500 --> 00:21:37.899
 skin,

00:21:38.459 --> 00:21:39.139
 to rescue

00:21:39.139 --> 00:21:39.759
 himself.

00:21:40.779 --> 00:21:41.679
 He hasn't

00:21:41.679 --> 00:21:42.419
 forgotten

00:21:42.419 --> 00:21:43.059
 you,

00:21:43.659 --> 00:21:44.659
 no matter

00:21:44.659 --> 00:21:45.199
 the level

00:21:45.199 --> 00:21:46.079
 of opposition

00:21:46.079 --> 00:21:46.839
 that you

00:21:46.839 --> 00:21:47.519
 are feeling,

00:21:47.819 --> 00:21:48.699
 he hasn't.

00:21:50.039 --> 00:21:51.059
 Other than

00:21:51.059 --> 00:21:51.599
 Judas the

00:21:51.599 --> 00:21:52.299
 betrayer and

00:21:52.299 --> 00:21:52.819
 the fulfillment

00:21:52.819 --> 00:21:53.299
 of the

00:21:53.299 --> 00:21:53.639
 scripture,

00:21:53.939 --> 00:21:54.519
 he doesn't

00:21:54.519 --> 00:21:55.219
 lose a one

00:21:55.219 --> 00:21:55.539
 of his

00:21:55.539 --> 00:21:55.879
 twelve

00:21:55.879 --> 00:21:56.399
 disciples,

00:21:56.559 --> 00:21:56.899
 does he?

00:21:58.819 --> 00:21:59.659
 And perhaps

00:21:59.659 --> 00:22:00.099
 more to the

00:22:00.099 --> 00:22:00.699
 point for you

00:22:00.699 --> 00:22:01.059
 and me,

00:22:02.079 --> 00:22:02.339
 Jesus

00:22:02.339 --> 00:22:03.019
 doesn't

00:22:03.019 --> 00:22:04.000
 lose a

00:22:04.000 --> 00:22:04.779
 one of

00:22:04.779 --> 00:22:05.599
 us who

00:22:05.599 --> 00:22:05.819
 have

00:22:05.819 --> 00:22:06.519
 believed

00:22:06.519 --> 00:22:07.359
 in him.

00:22:08.500 --> 00:22:09.099
 When Jesus

00:22:09.099 --> 00:22:09.619
 tells us

00:22:09.619 --> 00:22:09.980
 back in

00:22:09.980 --> 00:22:10.619
 chapter 6

00:22:10.619 --> 00:22:10.959
 that he

00:22:10.959 --> 00:22:11.359
 is the

00:22:11.359 --> 00:22:11.879
 bread of

00:22:11.879 --> 00:22:12.500
 life,

00:22:13.419 --> 00:22:13.759
 and he

00:22:13.759 --> 00:22:14.659
 speaks not

00:22:14.659 --> 00:22:15.359
 merely of

00:22:15.359 --> 00:22:16.019
 the twelve,

00:22:16.539 --> 00:22:17.119
 but of

00:22:17.119 --> 00:22:17.500
 whoever

00:22:17.500 --> 00:22:18.819
 comes to

00:22:18.819 --> 00:22:19.059
 me,

00:22:19.319 --> 00:22:19.579
 whoever

00:22:19.579 --> 00:22:20.599
 believes

00:22:20.599 --> 00:22:21.579
 in me,

00:22:22.059 --> 00:22:22.399
 Jesus

00:22:22.399 --> 00:22:23.619
 ensures

00:22:23.619 --> 00:22:25.059
 us,

00:22:25.939 --> 00:22:26.379
 it is

00:22:26.379 --> 00:22:26.679
 his

00:22:26.679 --> 00:22:27.459
 father's

00:22:27.459 --> 00:22:28.379
 will that

00:22:28.379 --> 00:22:29.019
 he lose

00:22:29.019 --> 00:22:29.859
 none of

00:22:29.859 --> 00:22:30.299
 those,

00:22:30.759 --> 00:22:31.379
 none of

00:22:31.380 --> 00:22:31.780
 those who

00:22:31.780 --> 00:22:32.560
 come and

00:22:32.560 --> 00:22:32.940
 believe,

00:22:33.100 --> 00:22:33.540
 that he

00:22:33.540 --> 00:22:34.400
 will raise

00:22:34.400 --> 00:22:34.960
 us up

00:22:34.960 --> 00:22:35.560
 on the

00:22:35.560 --> 00:22:36.200
 last day.

00:22:36.420 --> 00:22:36.660
 Do you

00:22:36.660 --> 00:22:37.060
 hear his

00:22:37.060 --> 00:22:37.640
 words

00:22:37.640 --> 00:22:38.580
 speaking that

00:22:38.580 --> 00:22:39.120
 not just

00:22:39.120 --> 00:22:39.380
 to the

00:22:39.380 --> 00:22:39.780
 twelve in

00:22:39.780 --> 00:22:40.180
 the garden

00:22:40.180 --> 00:22:40.800
 that night,

00:22:40.960 --> 00:22:41.460
 but to

00:22:41.460 --> 00:22:42.600
 you and

00:22:42.600 --> 00:22:42.820
 me,

00:22:42.900 --> 00:22:43.600
 as you've

00:22:43.600 --> 00:22:44.040
 come to

00:22:44.040 --> 00:22:44.500
 believe in

00:22:44.500 --> 00:22:44.620
 him,

00:22:44.660 --> 00:22:45.300
 he's got

00:22:45.300 --> 00:22:45.700
 you.

00:22:47.900 --> 00:22:48.540
 What a

00:22:48.540 --> 00:22:49.060
 comfort

00:22:49.060 --> 00:22:50.580
 that should

00:22:50.580 --> 00:22:51.040
 be to

00:22:51.040 --> 00:22:51.800
 the ears

00:22:51.800 --> 00:22:52.240
 of those

00:22:52.240 --> 00:22:53.020
 facing all

00:22:53.020 --> 00:22:53.700
 sorts of

00:22:53.700 --> 00:22:54.220
 opposition,

00:22:54.820 --> 00:22:55.540
 from the

00:22:55.540 --> 00:22:56.100
 mouth of

00:22:56.100 --> 00:22:56.400
 the one

00:22:56.400 --> 00:22:56.680
 who has

00:22:56.680 --> 00:22:57.140
 overcome

00:22:57.140 --> 00:22:58.380
 the forces

00:22:58.380 --> 00:22:58.840
 of

00:22:58.840 --> 00:22:59.420
 darkness,

00:22:59.660 --> 00:23:00.120
 and in

00:23:00.120 --> 00:23:00.800
 the darkest

00:23:00.800 --> 00:23:01.360
 hour,

00:23:01.660 --> 00:23:02.420
 has not

00:23:02.420 --> 00:23:02.880
 forgotten

00:23:02.880 --> 00:23:03.380
 us.

00:23:05.120 --> 00:23:05.800
 In fact,

00:23:06.180 --> 00:23:07.220
 he has so

00:23:07.220 --> 00:23:08.160
 stood for

00:23:08.160 --> 00:23:08.580
 us that

00:23:08.580 --> 00:23:08.980
 we don't

00:23:08.980 --> 00:23:09.420
 have to

00:23:09.420 --> 00:23:09.960
 fight for

00:23:09.960 --> 00:23:10.600
 ourselves.

00:23:12.740 --> 00:23:13.360
 Maybe you're

00:23:13.360 --> 00:23:13.840
 like Peter,

00:23:14.280 --> 00:23:15.120
 I am,

00:23:16.060 --> 00:23:16.940
 and it takes

00:23:16.940 --> 00:23:17.260
 you a while

00:23:17.260 --> 00:23:17.740
 to learn that

00:23:17.740 --> 00:23:18.080
 lesson.

00:23:19.260 --> 00:23:19.800
 As the other

00:23:19.800 --> 00:23:20.680
 disciples presumably

00:23:20.680 --> 00:23:21.420
 begin to slip

00:23:21.420 --> 00:23:22.120
 away, let's

00:23:22.120 --> 00:23:22.600
 imagine we're

00:23:22.600 --> 00:23:22.960
 with them,

00:23:23.060 --> 00:23:23.200
 right?

00:23:23.640 --> 00:23:24.040
 Slipping

00:23:24.040 --> 00:23:24.380
 away,

00:23:24.860 --> 00:23:25.420
 Peter slips

00:23:25.420 --> 00:23:25.720
 out his

00:23:25.720 --> 00:23:26.020
 sword.

00:23:26.520 --> 00:23:26.740
 Aha,

00:23:26.980 --> 00:23:27.740
 a great idea

00:23:27.740 --> 00:23:28.079
 at a great

00:23:28.079 --> 00:23:28.460
 time.

00:23:28.839 --> 00:23:29.380
 He decides

00:23:29.380 --> 00:23:29.839
 to take

00:23:29.839 --> 00:23:30.620
 his last

00:23:30.620 --> 00:23:31.660
 stand beside

00:23:31.660 --> 00:23:32.599
 his Messiah

00:23:32.599 --> 00:23:35.079
 King until

00:23:35.079 --> 00:23:36.480
 the king

00:23:36.480 --> 00:23:37.200
 stops him.

00:23:38.880 --> 00:23:39.299
 We learn

00:23:39.299 --> 00:23:39.640
 elsewhere,

00:23:39.779 --> 00:23:40.319
 heals the

00:23:40.319 --> 00:23:40.579
 ear.

00:23:41.579 --> 00:23:41.859
 Again,

00:23:42.120 --> 00:23:42.859
 somehow,

00:23:43.180 --> 00:23:44.039
 staves off

00:23:44.039 --> 00:23:44.940
 a response

00:23:44.940 --> 00:23:45.339
 from the

00:23:45.339 --> 00:23:46.140
 armed soldiers.

00:23:46.299 --> 00:23:46.720
 I don't

00:23:46.720 --> 00:23:47.039
 know how

00:23:47.039 --> 00:23:47.539
 Peter's not

00:23:47.539 --> 00:23:48.140
 killed here.

00:23:49.000 --> 00:23:49.480
 Jesus is

00:23:49.480 --> 00:23:50.019
 in control,

00:23:50.339 --> 00:23:50.779
 and he

00:23:50.779 --> 00:23:51.380
 allows Peter

00:23:51.380 --> 00:23:51.839
 to exit

00:23:51.839 --> 00:23:52.559
 stage left,

00:23:52.900 --> 00:23:53.460
 if you will,

00:23:54.299 --> 00:23:56.220
 except graciously.

00:23:56.220 --> 00:23:59.220
 not shamefully.

00:24:02.220 --> 00:24:02.960
 If, like

00:24:02.960 --> 00:24:03.380
 me, you

00:24:03.380 --> 00:24:03.920
 have ever

00:24:03.920 --> 00:24:05.900
 forgotten

00:24:05.900 --> 00:24:06.440
 that your

00:24:06.440 --> 00:24:07.039
 king is in

00:24:07.039 --> 00:24:07.420
 control,

00:24:08.319 --> 00:24:08.600
 I don't

00:24:08.600 --> 00:24:08.900
 know, maybe

00:24:08.900 --> 00:24:09.380
 there's somebody

00:24:09.380 --> 00:24:10.079
 in here who's

00:24:10.079 --> 00:24:10.480
 had that

00:24:10.480 --> 00:24:10.980
 experience.

00:24:12.180 --> 00:24:12.839
 If you've

00:24:12.839 --> 00:24:13.539
 forgotten that

00:24:13.539 --> 00:24:14.559
 you can trust

00:24:14.559 --> 00:24:15.600
 him and you've

00:24:15.600 --> 00:24:16.559
 started flailing,

00:24:16.759 --> 00:24:17.220
 if you will,

00:24:17.279 --> 00:24:17.640
 with your

00:24:17.640 --> 00:24:18.539
 sword to

00:24:18.539 --> 00:24:19.019
 maintain

00:24:19.019 --> 00:24:19.680
 control,

00:24:20.100 --> 00:24:20.960
 to protect

00:24:20.960 --> 00:24:21.559
 yourself,

00:24:21.559 --> 00:24:22.339
 to advance

00:24:22.339 --> 00:24:23.120
 his cause

00:24:23.120 --> 00:24:23.559
 your own

00:24:23.559 --> 00:24:23.880
 way,

00:24:23.940 --> 00:24:24.319
 if that's

00:24:24.319 --> 00:24:24.839
 ever been

00:24:24.839 --> 00:24:25.319
 you like

00:24:25.319 --> 00:24:25.700
 it has

00:24:25.700 --> 00:24:26.000
 me,

00:24:26.379 --> 00:24:26.819
 I want

00:24:26.819 --> 00:24:27.079
 you to

00:24:27.079 --> 00:24:27.619
 treasure

00:24:27.619 --> 00:24:28.619
 this calm

00:24:28.619 --> 00:24:30.179
 but clear

00:24:30.179 --> 00:24:30.939
 gospel

00:24:30.939 --> 00:24:31.500
 reminder,

00:24:31.740 --> 00:24:32.619
 gospel truth

00:24:32.619 --> 00:24:33.599
 from Jesus.

00:24:33.839 --> 00:24:34.220
 Not a

00:24:34.220 --> 00:24:34.799
 shaming of

00:24:34.799 --> 00:24:35.480
 you for

00:24:35.480 --> 00:24:35.759
 that.

00:24:37.319 --> 00:24:37.799
 Out of

00:24:37.799 --> 00:24:38.439
 love for

00:24:38.439 --> 00:24:38.720
 Peter,

00:24:38.779 --> 00:24:39.019
 what does

00:24:39.019 --> 00:24:39.439
 he say?

00:24:40.299 --> 00:24:40.779
 Not giving

00:24:40.779 --> 00:24:41.179
 up on

00:24:41.179 --> 00:24:41.359
 him.

00:24:42.659 --> 00:24:43.079
 Not,

00:24:43.179 --> 00:24:43.460
 as you

00:24:43.460 --> 00:24:44.019
 might imagine,

00:24:44.460 --> 00:24:44.639
 oh,

00:24:44.799 --> 00:24:46.259
 second thought,

00:24:46.339 --> 00:24:46.639
 take that

00:24:46.639 --> 00:24:47.299
 crazy guy.

00:24:47.720 --> 00:24:48.099
 Go ahead

00:24:48.099 --> 00:24:48.399
 and take

00:24:48.399 --> 00:24:48.599
 him.

00:24:48.740 --> 00:24:48.980
 I could

00:24:48.980 --> 00:24:49.139
 lose

00:24:49.139 --> 00:24:49.379
 one.

00:24:50.740 --> 00:24:51.019
 No.

00:24:51.019 --> 00:24:54.000
 put your

00:24:54.000 --> 00:24:54.619
 sword away.

00:24:56.460 --> 00:24:57.039
 Shall I

00:24:57.039 --> 00:24:57.779
 not drink

00:24:57.779 --> 00:24:59.079
 the cup

00:24:59.079 --> 00:25:00.420
 the Father

00:25:00.420 --> 00:25:00.920
 has given

00:25:00.920 --> 00:25:01.200
 me?

00:25:03.240 --> 00:25:04.220
 The cup

00:25:04.220 --> 00:25:05.059
 Jesus is

00:25:05.059 --> 00:25:05.980
 referring to

00:25:05.980 --> 00:25:07.660
 is the

00:25:07.660 --> 00:25:08.059
 cup of

00:25:08.059 --> 00:25:08.440
 God's

00:25:08.440 --> 00:25:08.940
 wrath.

00:25:09.839 --> 00:25:10.639
 The death

00:25:10.639 --> 00:25:11.539
 due to

00:25:11.539 --> 00:25:12.220
 sinful

00:25:12.220 --> 00:25:13.059
 men.

00:25:14.460 --> 00:25:14.980
 We know

00:25:14.980 --> 00:25:15.440
 from the

00:25:15.440 --> 00:25:16.019
 other gospel

00:25:16.019 --> 00:25:16.680
 accounts that

00:25:16.680 --> 00:25:17.259
 Jesus has

00:25:17.259 --> 00:25:18.059
 just been

00:25:18.059 --> 00:25:19.440
 wrestling in

00:25:19.440 --> 00:25:20.139
 this very

00:25:20.139 --> 00:25:20.579
 garden

00:25:20.579 --> 00:25:21.179
 moments

00:25:21.179 --> 00:25:21.899
 before

00:25:21.899 --> 00:25:23.240
 with the

00:25:23.240 --> 00:25:23.960
 wretched

00:25:23.960 --> 00:25:24.799
 poison

00:25:24.799 --> 00:25:26.399
 of that

00:25:26.399 --> 00:25:26.819
 cup.

00:25:27.299 --> 00:25:28.000
 The longing

00:25:28.000 --> 00:25:29.179
 to avoid

00:25:29.179 --> 00:25:29.899
 it as he

00:25:29.899 --> 00:25:30.539
 submits his

00:25:30.539 --> 00:25:31.000
 spirit to

00:25:31.000 --> 00:25:31.679
 his Father's

00:25:31.679 --> 00:25:32.039
 will and

00:25:32.039 --> 00:25:32.779
 he turns

00:25:32.779 --> 00:25:33.240
 to meet

00:25:33.240 --> 00:25:34.039
 the oncoming

00:25:34.039 --> 00:25:35.059
 opposition.

00:25:37.339 --> 00:25:38.199
 But listen,

00:25:38.759 --> 00:25:39.119
 friends,

00:25:39.240 --> 00:25:40.059
 don't miss

00:25:40.059 --> 00:25:40.439
 this.

00:25:41.639 --> 00:25:41.899
 With

00:25:41.899 --> 00:25:42.379
 literally

00:25:42.379 --> 00:25:43.240
 hundreds

00:25:43.240 --> 00:25:43.939
 standing

00:25:43.939 --> 00:25:44.740
 before him

00:25:44.740 --> 00:25:45.319
 to take

00:25:45.319 --> 00:25:45.679
 him to

00:25:45.679 --> 00:25:45.960
 his

00:25:45.960 --> 00:25:46.379
 death,

00:25:47.519 --> 00:25:48.419
 what enemy

00:25:48.419 --> 00:25:49.879
 is most

00:25:49.880 --> 00:25:50.480
 prominent

00:25:50.480 --> 00:25:51.360
 in Jesus'

00:25:51.660 --> 00:25:52.060
 mind?

00:25:53.640 --> 00:25:54.240
 Political

00:25:54.240 --> 00:25:54.760
 power?

00:25:55.740 --> 00:25:56.440
 Seems scary.

00:25:57.840 --> 00:25:58.260
 Religious

00:25:58.260 --> 00:25:58.900
 corruption?

00:26:00.340 --> 00:26:01.060
 Personal

00:26:01.060 --> 00:26:01.680
 betrayal?

00:26:04.560 --> 00:26:05.660
 The cup

00:26:05.660 --> 00:26:07.700
 of God's

00:26:07.700 --> 00:26:08.100
 wrath.

00:26:08.940 --> 00:26:09.340
 That's what

00:26:09.340 --> 00:26:09.840
 he's facing.

00:26:10.960 --> 00:26:11.800
 That cup

00:26:11.800 --> 00:26:12.660
 compared to

00:26:12.660 --> 00:26:13.360
 which we

00:26:13.360 --> 00:26:13.980
 all should

00:26:13.980 --> 00:26:14.240
 think,

00:26:14.540 --> 00:26:14.940
 what can

00:26:14.940 --> 00:26:16.020
 man do

00:26:16.019 --> 00:26:16.619
 to me?

00:26:17.119 --> 00:26:18.019
 This is

00:26:18.019 --> 00:26:18.519
 what should

00:26:18.519 --> 00:26:19.339
 really make

00:26:19.339 --> 00:26:19.980
 sinners

00:26:19.980 --> 00:26:20.940
 like us

00:26:20.940 --> 00:26:21.759
 tremble

00:26:21.759 --> 00:26:22.859
 and shrink

00:26:22.859 --> 00:26:23.599
 back and

00:26:23.599 --> 00:26:24.079
 fall to

00:26:24.079 --> 00:26:24.619
 the ground.

00:26:26.440 --> 00:26:27.440
 We can't

00:26:27.440 --> 00:26:27.759
 meet our

00:26:27.759 --> 00:26:28.740
 own standards,

00:26:29.240 --> 00:26:30.160
 much less

00:26:30.160 --> 00:26:31.539
 stand before

00:26:31.539 --> 00:26:32.180
 God's

00:26:32.180 --> 00:26:33.019
 judgment seat.

00:26:33.099 --> 00:26:33.400
 Can you

00:26:33.400 --> 00:26:33.879
 imagine?

00:26:35.180 --> 00:26:35.500
 But see,

00:26:35.819 --> 00:26:35.980
 this,

00:26:36.200 --> 00:26:36.400
 Jesus,

00:26:36.579 --> 00:26:37.539
 it's different

00:26:37.539 --> 00:26:38.720
 from moralistic

00:26:38.720 --> 00:26:39.599
 Christianity.

00:26:40.460 --> 00:26:41.319
 This is very

00:26:41.319 --> 00:26:41.799
 different.

00:26:42.440 --> 00:26:43.299
 Where I stand

00:26:43.299 --> 00:26:44.000
 before God

00:26:44.000 --> 00:26:44.819
 on my own

00:26:44.819 --> 00:26:45.700
 merits and I

00:26:45.700 --> 00:26:46.119
 hope to

00:26:46.119 --> 00:26:46.779
 measure up

00:26:46.779 --> 00:26:47.140
 and I

00:26:47.140 --> 00:26:47.420
 hope to

00:26:47.420 --> 00:26:47.940
 appease

00:26:47.940 --> 00:26:48.740
 his wrath.

00:26:50.539 --> 00:26:50.880
 No,

00:26:51.019 --> 00:26:51.279
 no.

00:26:51.940 --> 00:26:52.200
 See,

00:26:52.599 --> 00:26:53.940
 Jesus

00:26:53.940 --> 00:26:55.119
 stands

00:26:55.119 --> 00:26:57.380
 and says

00:26:57.380 --> 00:26:57.980
 to all

00:26:57.980 --> 00:26:58.619
 of us,

00:26:59.400 --> 00:27:00.099
 don't

00:27:00.099 --> 00:27:01.119
 dare

00:27:01.119 --> 00:27:01.640
 face

00:27:01.640 --> 00:27:02.059
 that

00:27:02.059 --> 00:27:02.599
 enemy,

00:27:03.559 --> 00:27:04.059
 that

00:27:04.059 --> 00:27:04.960
 opposition

00:27:04.960 --> 00:27:06.640
 without

00:27:06.640 --> 00:27:07.160
 me.

00:27:08.660 --> 00:27:10.039
 He sends

00:27:10.039 --> 00:27:10.880
 all his

00:27:10.880 --> 00:27:11.420
 followers

00:27:11.420 --> 00:27:11.900
 away.

00:27:11.900 --> 00:27:12.000
 away.

00:27:13.580 --> 00:27:14.460
 So that

00:27:14.460 --> 00:27:14.700
 he,

00:27:15.500 --> 00:27:16.340
 the last

00:27:16.340 --> 00:27:17.160
 man standing,

00:27:18.100 --> 00:27:19.400
 can drain

00:27:19.400 --> 00:27:20.620
 the cup

00:27:20.620 --> 00:27:21.700
 to its

00:27:21.700 --> 00:27:22.900
 dregs.

00:27:24.640 --> 00:27:25.360
 This

00:27:25.360 --> 00:27:25.860
 Jesus,

00:27:26.580 --> 00:27:28.300
 who has

00:27:28.300 --> 00:27:28.800
 on more

00:27:28.800 --> 00:27:29.280
 than one

00:27:29.280 --> 00:27:29.820
 occasion

00:27:29.820 --> 00:27:30.580
 before a

00:27:30.580 --> 00:27:30.980
 crowd,

00:27:31.220 --> 00:27:31.800
 humbly

00:27:31.800 --> 00:27:33.040
 refused

00:27:33.040 --> 00:27:33.740
 the crown,

00:27:35.560 --> 00:27:36.900
 now willingly

00:27:36.900 --> 00:27:37.800
 receives the

00:27:37.800 --> 00:27:38.340
 cross.

00:27:38.339 --> 00:27:38.459
 cross.

00:27:40.619 --> 00:27:41.659
 He goes

00:27:41.659 --> 00:27:42.079
 willingly.

00:27:43.339 --> 00:27:44.079
 He knows,

00:27:44.279 --> 00:27:44.859
 we're told,

00:27:44.980 --> 00:27:46.079
 all that

00:27:46.079 --> 00:27:46.659
 is coming

00:27:46.659 --> 00:27:47.779
 crashing

00:27:47.779 --> 00:27:48.919
 down

00:27:48.919 --> 00:27:50.159
 upon him

00:27:50.159 --> 00:27:51.599
 and he

00:27:51.599 --> 00:27:51.939
 steps

00:27:51.939 --> 00:27:52.419
 forward

00:27:52.419 --> 00:27:54.639
 to embrace

00:27:54.639 --> 00:27:54.919
 it.

00:27:57.079 --> 00:27:58.059
 Do you

00:27:58.059 --> 00:27:58.439
 see that

00:27:58.439 --> 00:27:59.079
 suffering

00:27:59.079 --> 00:28:00.259
 substitution?

00:28:00.259 --> 00:28:02.539
 the king

00:28:02.539 --> 00:28:03.319
 who's in

00:28:03.319 --> 00:28:03.879
 total

00:28:03.879 --> 00:28:04.559
 control

00:28:04.559 --> 00:28:05.619
 takes on

00:28:05.619 --> 00:28:06.819
 to protect

00:28:06.819 --> 00:28:07.599
 his sheep

00:28:07.599 --> 00:28:08.480
 once

00:28:08.480 --> 00:28:09.379
 and for

00:28:09.379 --> 00:28:09.759
 all.

00:28:10.019 --> 00:28:10.640
 He's not

00:28:10.640 --> 00:28:11.359
 merely in

00:28:11.359 --> 00:28:11.960
 powerful

00:28:11.960 --> 00:28:12.539
 control

00:28:12.539 --> 00:28:12.920
 of the

00:28:12.920 --> 00:28:13.140
 whole

00:28:13.140 --> 00:28:13.819
 situation.

00:28:13.819 --> 00:28:14.799
 He is

00:28:14.799 --> 00:28:15.740
 so

00:28:15.740 --> 00:28:16.819
 completely

00:28:16.819 --> 00:28:17.700
 humbly

00:28:17.700 --> 00:28:20.000
 self-sacrificing.

00:28:20.680 --> 00:28:21.900
 The last

00:28:21.900 --> 00:28:23.039
 man standing

00:28:23.039 --> 00:28:23.779
 does

00:28:23.779 --> 00:28:24.299
 what?

00:28:25.940 --> 00:28:27.099
 Lays

00:28:27.099 --> 00:28:27.660
 himself

00:28:27.660 --> 00:28:28.319
 down

00:28:28.319 --> 00:28:29.519
 so that

00:28:29.519 --> 00:28:30.659
 we can

00:28:30.659 --> 00:28:31.259
 stand

00:28:31.259 --> 00:28:32.000
 in him

00:28:32.000 --> 00:28:32.500
 so that

00:28:32.500 --> 00:28:33.019
 we don't

00:28:33.019 --> 00:28:33.559
 face the

00:28:33.559 --> 00:28:33.819
 death

00:28:33.819 --> 00:28:34.279
 we

00:28:34.279 --> 00:28:35.079
 certainly

00:28:35.079 --> 00:28:35.960
 deserve.

00:28:36.399 --> 00:28:36.759
 Do you

00:28:36.759 --> 00:28:37.179
 see him

00:28:37.179 --> 00:28:37.439
 in this

00:28:37.439 --> 00:28:37.859
 passage?

00:28:38.000 --> 00:28:38.220
 Can you

00:28:38.220 --> 00:28:38.720
 see him

00:28:38.720 --> 00:28:39.359
 tonight

00:28:39.359 --> 00:28:40.159
 standing

00:28:40.159 --> 00:28:40.579
 out

00:28:40.579 --> 00:28:41.259
 as the

00:28:41.259 --> 00:28:41.480
 one

00:28:41.480 --> 00:28:41.859
 above

00:28:41.859 --> 00:28:42.599
 all the

00:28:42.599 --> 00:28:42.960
 others

00:28:42.960 --> 00:28:43.339
 in that

00:28:43.339 --> 00:28:43.679
 garden?

00:28:44.299 --> 00:28:44.700
 Shining

00:28:44.700 --> 00:28:45.379
 bright

00:28:45.379 --> 00:28:46.099
 as the

00:28:46.099 --> 00:28:46.539
 light of

00:28:46.539 --> 00:28:47.000
 the world,

00:28:47.259 --> 00:28:47.939
 the light

00:28:47.939 --> 00:28:48.859
 of life.

00:28:49.159 --> 00:28:49.399
 Won't

00:28:49.399 --> 00:28:50.119
 you run

00:28:50.119 --> 00:28:50.659
 to him?

00:28:50.960 --> 00:28:51.200
 Won't

00:28:51.200 --> 00:28:52.079
 you marvel

00:28:52.079 --> 00:28:52.639
 at him?

00:28:52.939 --> 00:28:53.099
 Won't

00:28:53.099 --> 00:28:53.179
 you,

00:28:53.220 --> 00:28:53.379
 as you

00:28:53.379 --> 00:28:53.819
 gaze

00:28:53.819 --> 00:28:54.139
 at him,

00:28:54.299 --> 00:28:55.460
 praise him

00:28:55.460 --> 00:28:55.879
 for his

00:28:55.879 --> 00:28:56.539
 greatness?

00:28:57.480 --> 00:28:57.899
 Trust

00:28:58.319 --> 00:28:59.119
 to fight

00:28:59.119 --> 00:28:59.359
 your

00:28:59.359 --> 00:28:59.619
 enemies?

00:28:59.899 --> 00:29:00.099
 Won't

00:29:00.099 --> 00:29:00.559
 you spend

00:29:00.559 --> 00:29:01.359
 your life

00:29:01.359 --> 00:29:01.819
 with him

00:29:01.819 --> 00:29:02.639
 wherever it

00:29:02.639 --> 00:29:03.259
 is he calls

00:29:03.259 --> 00:29:03.539
 you to

00:29:03.539 --> 00:29:04.159
 follow him,

00:29:04.399 --> 00:29:04.859
 to praise

00:29:04.859 --> 00:29:05.240
 his name,

00:29:05.339 --> 00:29:05.839
 to advance

00:29:05.839 --> 00:29:06.299
 his kingdom?

00:29:06.439 --> 00:29:06.659
 Won't

00:29:06.659 --> 00:29:07.019
 you see

00:29:07.019 --> 00:29:07.419
 yourself

00:29:07.419 --> 00:29:07.720
 with

00:29:07.720 --> 00:29:08.139
 Jesus?

00:29:10.619 --> 00:29:11.220
 As you

00:29:11.220 --> 00:29:11.659
 wander out

00:29:11.659 --> 00:29:11.839
 of the

00:29:11.839 --> 00:29:12.099
 garden,

00:29:13.019 --> 00:29:13.379
 can you

00:29:13.379 --> 00:29:14.039
 even take

00:29:14.039 --> 00:29:14.639
 your eyes

00:29:14.639 --> 00:29:15.759
 off Jesus

00:29:15.759 --> 00:29:16.319
 standing

00:29:16.319 --> 00:29:16.720
 there?

00:29:17.079 --> 00:29:17.839
 As he

00:29:17.839 --> 00:29:18.619
 exits with

00:29:18.619 --> 00:29:19.700
 the crowd

00:29:19.700 --> 00:29:20.139
 that came

00:29:20.139 --> 00:29:20.759
 for you,

00:29:23.159 --> 00:29:23.379
 are you

00:29:23.379 --> 00:29:23.759
 starting to

00:29:23.759 --> 00:29:24.299
 connect some

00:29:24.299 --> 00:29:24.500
 of the

00:29:24.500 --> 00:29:25.000
 dots

00:29:25.000 --> 00:29:26.519
 from this

00:29:26.519 --> 00:29:28.000
 overwhelming

00:29:28.000 --> 00:29:29.000
 otherworldly

00:29:29.000 --> 00:29:29.980
 night you've

00:29:29.980 --> 00:29:30.819
 been experiencing?

00:29:32.380 --> 00:29:33.279
 In a

00:29:33.279 --> 00:29:33.819
 sacrifice,

00:29:34.160 --> 00:29:34.759
 an act of

00:29:34.759 --> 00:29:35.299
 suffering,

00:29:35.539 --> 00:29:36.420
 substitution

00:29:36.420 --> 00:29:37.079
 that has

00:29:37.079 --> 00:29:38.000
 been retold

00:29:38.000 --> 00:29:39.160
 in countless

00:29:39.160 --> 00:29:40.000
 stories,

00:29:40.720 --> 00:29:41.440
 movies,

00:29:41.799 --> 00:29:42.519
 tales of

00:29:42.519 --> 00:29:43.299
 heroes and

00:29:43.299 --> 00:29:43.960
 heroines

00:29:43.960 --> 00:29:44.720
 throughout the

00:29:44.720 --> 00:29:45.119
 ages,

00:29:45.299 --> 00:29:45.960
 you can think

00:29:45.960 --> 00:29:46.599
 of one right

00:29:46.599 --> 00:29:46.859
 now,

00:29:47.259 --> 00:29:48.140
 Jesus says,

00:29:48.140 --> 00:29:49.119
 let them

00:29:49.119 --> 00:29:49.539
 go.

00:29:51.660 --> 00:29:52.539
 Take me.

00:29:55.000 --> 00:29:56.559
 centuries

00:29:56.559 --> 00:29:57.140
 before,

00:29:57.440 --> 00:29:58.799
 Moses told

00:29:58.799 --> 00:29:59.980
 Pharaoh that

00:29:59.980 --> 00:30:00.619
 Yahweh,

00:30:02.099 --> 00:30:02.599
 the true

00:30:02.599 --> 00:30:03.000
 God,

00:30:04.039 --> 00:30:04.680
 the I

00:30:04.680 --> 00:30:05.299
 Am,

00:30:06.519 --> 00:30:07.059
 says,

00:30:07.539 --> 00:30:08.180
 let my

00:30:08.180 --> 00:30:08.880
 people

00:30:08.880 --> 00:30:09.660
 go.

00:30:11.700 --> 00:30:12.220
 And for

00:30:12.220 --> 00:30:12.579
 that to

00:30:12.579 --> 00:30:12.940
 happen,

00:30:13.940 --> 00:30:15.140
 the first

00:30:15.140 --> 00:30:15.640
 Passover

00:30:15.640 --> 00:30:16.160
 came,

00:30:17.599 --> 00:30:18.000
 where the

00:30:18.000 --> 00:30:18.480
 lives of

00:30:18.480 --> 00:30:19.039
 all of the

00:30:19.039 --> 00:30:19.880
 firstborn

00:30:19.880 --> 00:30:20.920
 sons were

00:30:20.920 --> 00:30:21.380
 on the

00:30:21.380 --> 00:30:22.299
 line until

00:30:22.299 --> 00:30:23.220
 a Passover

00:30:23.220 --> 00:30:24.039
 lamb was

00:30:24.039 --> 00:30:24.539
 taken.

00:30:25.000 --> 00:30:26.420
 And killed

00:30:26.420 --> 00:30:27.240
 instead.

00:30:27.980 --> 00:30:28.339
 And its

00:30:28.339 --> 00:30:29.240
 blood placed

00:30:29.240 --> 00:30:29.500
 on the

00:30:29.500 --> 00:30:30.319
 doorposts

00:30:30.319 --> 00:30:30.740
 of the

00:30:30.740 --> 00:30:31.519
 home so

00:30:31.519 --> 00:30:31.839
 that the

00:30:31.839 --> 00:30:32.500
 firstborn

00:30:32.500 --> 00:30:33.160
 would live

00:30:33.160 --> 00:30:33.660
 and be

00:30:33.660 --> 00:30:34.299
 let go

00:30:34.299 --> 00:30:35.559
 to be

00:30:35.559 --> 00:30:36.240
 with God.

00:30:37.339 --> 00:30:37.960
 That's the

00:30:37.960 --> 00:30:38.299
 story that

00:30:38.299 --> 00:30:39.039
 was echoing

00:30:39.039 --> 00:30:40.500
 that night

00:30:40.500 --> 00:30:40.960
 through the

00:30:40.960 --> 00:30:41.380
 streets of

00:30:41.380 --> 00:30:41.839
 Jerusalem.

00:30:42.039 --> 00:30:42.900
 That very

00:30:42.900 --> 00:30:43.359
 night, it

00:30:43.359 --> 00:30:43.720
 did in the

00:30:43.720 --> 00:30:44.240
 upper room,

00:30:44.299 --> 00:30:44.500
 right?

00:30:44.779 --> 00:30:45.500
 Jesus told

00:30:45.500 --> 00:30:46.039
 it over

00:30:46.039 --> 00:30:46.519
 again with

00:30:46.519 --> 00:30:47.160
 his disciples.

00:30:47.519 --> 00:30:48.000
 Jesus had

00:30:48.000 --> 00:30:49.039
 just explained

00:30:49.039 --> 00:30:49.599
 that the

00:30:49.599 --> 00:30:50.259
 broken bread

00:30:50.259 --> 00:30:50.640
 would be

00:30:50.640 --> 00:30:51.859
 his body

00:30:51.859 --> 00:30:53.539
 and that

00:30:53.539 --> 00:30:54.000
 the blood

00:30:54.000 --> 00:30:54.259
 that would

00:30:54.259 --> 00:30:54.980
 cover the

00:30:54.980 --> 00:30:55.539
 sins of

00:30:55.539 --> 00:30:56.500
 those deserving

00:30:56.500 --> 00:30:57.039
 to die and

00:30:57.039 --> 00:30:57.960
 facing certain

00:30:57.960 --> 00:30:58.660
 death would

00:30:58.660 --> 00:30:59.079
 be his

00:30:59.079 --> 00:31:00.180
 own blood.

00:31:02.819 --> 00:31:03.660
 Now what

00:31:03.660 --> 00:31:04.160
 he said is

00:31:04.160 --> 00:31:05.000
 making more

00:31:05.000 --> 00:31:05.599
 sense.

00:31:06.700 --> 00:31:07.380
 Horribly,

00:31:08.039 --> 00:31:09.500
 yet wonderfully,

00:31:09.720 --> 00:31:10.779
 you see it.

00:31:11.339 --> 00:31:12.079
 The very

00:31:12.079 --> 00:31:14.000
 I am

00:31:14.000 --> 00:31:15.400
 in the

00:31:15.400 --> 00:31:16.299
 flesh

00:31:16.299 --> 00:31:17.660
 doesn't get

00:31:17.660 --> 00:31:19.160
 taken as a

00:31:19.160 --> 00:31:19.559
 helpless

00:31:19.559 --> 00:31:20.720
 victim,

00:31:20.720 --> 00:31:23.059
 but as a

00:31:23.059 --> 00:31:23.700
 powerful

00:31:23.700 --> 00:31:24.460
 shepherd,

00:31:25.279 --> 00:31:26.759
 yet willing

00:31:26.759 --> 00:31:27.339
 lamb,

00:31:28.839 --> 00:31:29.559
 he steps

00:31:29.559 --> 00:31:30.140
 forward

00:31:30.140 --> 00:31:31.860
 to lay

00:31:31.860 --> 00:31:32.259
 down his

00:31:32.259 --> 00:31:32.819
 life,

00:31:33.680 --> 00:31:34.000
 saying,

00:31:34.140 --> 00:31:34.460
 let them

00:31:34.460 --> 00:31:34.839
 go.

00:31:36.900 --> 00:31:37.640
 Take me.

00:31:37.640 --> 00:31:37.700
 Take me.

00:31:40.779 --> 00:31:41.680
 It was that

00:31:41.680 --> 00:31:42.259
 very night

00:31:42.259 --> 00:31:43.900
 that he was

00:31:43.900 --> 00:31:44.299
 betrayed,

00:31:45.240 --> 00:31:46.319
 that Jesus

00:31:46.319 --> 00:31:46.799
 had taken

00:31:46.799 --> 00:31:47.180
 bread

00:31:47.180 --> 00:31:49.640
 and broke

00:31:49.640 --> 00:31:49.920
 it,

00:31:50.720 --> 00:31:51.560
 gave it to

00:31:51.560 --> 00:31:52.180
 his disciples

00:31:52.180 --> 00:31:52.759
 as I'm

00:31:52.759 --> 00:31:53.460
 ministering in

00:31:53.460 --> 00:31:54.000
 his name.

00:31:54.519 --> 00:31:54.880
 Give this

00:31:54.880 --> 00:31:55.320
 bread to

00:31:55.320 --> 00:31:55.600
 you.

00:31:55.660 --> 00:31:55.880
 And he

00:31:55.880 --> 00:31:56.120
 said,

00:31:56.279 --> 00:31:56.740
 take and

00:31:56.740 --> 00:31:56.960
 eat.

00:31:58.080 --> 00:31:58.700
 This is

00:31:58.700 --> 00:31:59.880
 my body

00:31:59.880 --> 00:32:01.660
 given for

00:32:01.660 --> 00:32:02.120
 you.

00:32:03.259 --> 00:32:03.759
 Do this

00:32:03.759 --> 00:32:04.279
 in remembrance

00:32:04.279 --> 00:32:04.860
 of me.

00:32:06.440 --> 00:32:07.019
 And in the

00:32:07.019 --> 00:32:07.480
 same way,

00:32:07.539 --> 00:32:08.519
 after the

00:32:08.519 --> 00:32:08.779
 supper,

00:32:08.900 --> 00:32:09.519
 he took the

00:32:09.519 --> 00:32:09.980
 cup and

00:32:09.980 --> 00:32:10.180
 said,

00:32:10.519 --> 00:32:11.080
 this cup

00:32:11.080 --> 00:32:11.380
 is the

00:32:11.380 --> 00:32:11.900
 new covenant

00:32:11.900 --> 00:32:13.060
 in my

00:32:13.060 --> 00:32:13.519
 blood.

00:32:14.240 --> 00:32:14.700
 Shed for

00:32:14.700 --> 00:32:15.280
 many for

00:32:15.280 --> 00:32:15.759
 the forgiveness

00:32:15.759 --> 00:32:16.400
 of sins.

00:32:16.740 --> 00:32:17.300
 Drink from

00:32:17.300 --> 00:32:18.080
 it all

00:32:18.080 --> 00:32:18.720
 of you.

00:32:20.000 --> 00:32:20.220
 See,

00:32:20.280 --> 00:32:20.640
 the Father

00:32:20.640 --> 00:32:21.700
 gave Jesus

00:32:21.700 --> 00:32:22.500
 the cup

00:32:22.500 --> 00:32:23.160
 of his

00:32:23.160 --> 00:32:23.660
 wrath,

00:32:23.780 --> 00:32:24.240
 which Jesus

00:32:24.240 --> 00:32:25.519
 willingly drank

00:32:25.519 --> 00:32:26.840
 so that God

00:32:26.840 --> 00:32:27.420
 could put in

00:32:27.420 --> 00:32:28.080
 your hands

00:32:28.080 --> 00:32:28.720
 this morning

00:32:28.720 --> 00:32:29.420
 the other

00:32:29.420 --> 00:32:30.280
 cup the

00:32:30.280 --> 00:32:30.940
 Bible talks

00:32:30.940 --> 00:32:31.300
 about.

00:32:31.640 --> 00:32:32.180
 The cup

00:32:32.180 --> 00:32:33.140
 of blessing,

00:32:33.920 --> 00:32:34.300
 the cup

00:32:34.300 --> 00:32:35.180
 of redemption,

00:32:35.580 --> 00:32:35.920
 the cup

00:32:35.920 --> 00:32:37.019
 of salvation

00:32:37.019 --> 00:32:37.900
 that you

00:32:37.900 --> 00:32:38.680
 will taste

00:32:38.680 --> 00:32:39.180
 here in a

00:32:39.180 --> 00:32:39.400
 moment.

00:32:39.580 --> 00:32:40.019
 If you

00:32:40.019 --> 00:32:40.840
 trust that

00:32:40.839 --> 00:32:41.959
 Jesus drank

00:32:41.959 --> 00:32:42.819
 that cup

00:32:42.819 --> 00:32:43.399
 of God's

00:32:43.399 --> 00:32:44.220
 wrath for

00:32:44.220 --> 00:32:44.639
 you,

00:32:44.919 --> 00:32:45.599
 paid for

00:32:45.599 --> 00:32:46.299
 your sin,

00:32:46.539 --> 00:32:46.980
 made you

00:32:46.980 --> 00:32:47.599
 one of his

00:32:47.599 --> 00:32:48.419
 own that he

00:32:48.419 --> 00:32:48.939
 will never

00:32:48.939 --> 00:32:49.519
 lose,

00:32:49.959 --> 00:32:50.459
 then you

00:32:50.459 --> 00:32:51.359
 come and

00:32:51.359 --> 00:32:52.079
 eat and

00:32:52.079 --> 00:32:52.879
 drink and

00:32:52.879 --> 00:32:53.459
 trust him

00:32:53.459 --> 00:32:54.379
 again and

00:32:54.379 --> 00:32:55.299
 wonder at that

00:32:55.299 --> 00:32:55.899
 again and

00:32:55.899 --> 00:32:56.659
 thank him

00:32:56.659 --> 00:32:57.480
 again and

00:32:57.480 --> 00:32:58.399
 praise him and

00:32:58.399 --> 00:32:59.299
 live with him

00:32:59.299 --> 00:33:00.599
 even right

00:33:00.599 --> 00:33:00.919
 now.

00:33:02.959 --> 00:33:03.879
 If that's

00:33:03.879 --> 00:33:04.379
 not your

00:33:04.379 --> 00:33:04.639
 hope,

00:33:05.799 --> 00:33:06.399
 if you've

00:33:06.399 --> 00:33:06.759
 come to

00:33:06.759 --> 00:33:07.379
 church for

00:33:07.379 --> 00:33:08.279
 years perhaps

00:33:08.279 --> 00:33:09.799
 but you've

00:33:09.799 --> 00:33:10.619
 never trusted

00:33:10.619 --> 00:33:11.399
 Jesus to

00:33:11.399 --> 00:33:12.259
 die in

00:33:12.259 --> 00:33:13.179
 your place,

00:33:13.579 --> 00:33:14.519
 to defeat

00:33:14.519 --> 00:33:15.099
 all your

00:33:15.099 --> 00:33:15.339
 enemies,

00:33:15.439 --> 00:33:15.779
 maybe you're

00:33:15.779 --> 00:33:16.339
 still fighting

00:33:16.339 --> 00:33:16.899
 them to be

00:33:16.899 --> 00:33:17.559
 good enough,

00:33:18.859 --> 00:33:19.419
 trusted him

00:33:19.419 --> 00:33:20.019
 to bring you

00:33:20.019 --> 00:33:21.119
 home forever,

00:33:21.599 --> 00:33:22.699
 if that's not

00:33:22.699 --> 00:33:23.339
 something you've

00:33:23.339 --> 00:33:23.759
 done, would

00:33:23.759 --> 00:33:24.500
 you consider

00:33:24.500 --> 00:33:26.279
 trusting him

00:33:26.279 --> 00:33:26.619
 today?

00:33:27.579 --> 00:33:28.319
 In his name

00:33:28.319 --> 00:33:29.219
 I offer you

00:33:29.219 --> 00:33:30.299
 not bread

00:33:30.299 --> 00:33:31.279
 and wine,

00:33:32.479 --> 00:33:33.259
 they're signs

00:33:33.259 --> 00:33:34.419
 like the

00:33:34.419 --> 00:33:35.919
 baptism to

00:33:35.919 --> 00:33:36.479
 point you to

00:33:36.479 --> 00:33:36.759
 Jesus.

00:33:38.199 --> 00:33:38.959
 I offer you

00:33:38.960 --> 00:33:40.299
 life today,

00:33:40.799 --> 00:33:41.620
 life with

00:33:41.620 --> 00:33:42.380
 eternal

00:33:42.380 --> 00:33:43.140
 purpose,

00:33:43.779 --> 00:33:45.420
 life eternal

00:33:45.420 --> 00:33:46.860
 with Jesus

00:33:46.860 --> 00:33:47.759
 who is

00:33:47.759 --> 00:33:49.380
 the life.

00:33:49.660 --> 00:33:50.079
 Feel free

00:33:50.079 --> 00:33:50.420
 to come

00:33:50.420 --> 00:33:51.380
 forward and

00:33:51.380 --> 00:33:51.920
 ask us to

00:33:51.920 --> 00:33:52.700
 pray with you,

00:33:53.079 --> 00:33:54.200
 ask to talk

00:33:54.200 --> 00:33:54.559
 with us,

00:33:54.600 --> 00:33:55.180
 we'd love to

00:33:55.180 --> 00:33:55.660
 talk with you

00:33:55.660 --> 00:33:56.299
 about him,

00:33:56.740 --> 00:33:57.240
 the Lamb of

00:33:57.240 --> 00:33:58.120
 God who

00:33:58.120 --> 00:33:58.779
 takes away

00:33:58.779 --> 00:34:00.160
 the sin of

00:34:00.160 --> 00:34:00.600
 the world.

00:34:00.920 --> 00:34:01.440
 Let's pray

00:34:01.440 --> 00:34:02.000
 and we'll eat

00:34:02.000 --> 00:34:02.360
 together.

00:34:02.359 --> 00:34:09.980
 Father, thank

00:34:09.980 --> 00:34:10.460
 you for this

00:34:10.460 --> 00:34:11.099
 great gift.

00:34:13.819 --> 00:34:14.719
 Another sign

00:34:14.719 --> 00:34:15.500

00:34:15.500 --> 00:34:16.319
 to the one

00:34:16.319 --> 00:34:16.639
 who meets

00:34:16.639 --> 00:34:17.259
 our needs.

00:34:18.940 --> 00:34:19.500
 Guilty,

00:34:20.299 --> 00:34:20.759
 vile,

00:34:21.019 --> 00:34:21.659
 and helpless

00:34:21.659 --> 00:34:22.319
 we,

00:34:23.159 --> 00:34:23.940
 spotless

00:34:23.940 --> 00:34:24.659
 Lamb of

00:34:24.659 --> 00:34:25.219
 God

00:34:25.219 --> 00:34:26.819
 was he.

00:34:27.900 --> 00:34:28.420
 Full

00:34:28.420 --> 00:34:29.159
 atonement,

00:34:30.359 --> 00:34:31.460
 can it be,

00:34:31.460 --> 00:34:32.920
 hallelujah,

00:34:34.079 --> 00:34:34.760
 what a

00:34:34.760 --> 00:34:35.039
 Savior.

00:34:36.320 --> 00:34:36.820
 Might we

00:34:36.820 --> 00:34:37.199
 meet him

00:34:37.199 --> 00:34:37.460
 here.

00:34:38.920 --> 00:34:39.659
 We ask

00:34:39.659 --> 00:34:39.980
 in his

00:34:39.980 --> 00:34:40.300
 name,

00:34:41.179 --> 00:34:41.460
 amen.
