WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.000
 Well, thank you. Thank you for your warm welcome. It's lovely to be in fellowship with our brothers

00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:14.359
 and sisters in Jesus Christ here in this congregation and to renew that fellowship. I

00:00:14.359 --> 00:00:21.620
 thank the Lord for so many blessings received through my life, not least as a child growing up

00:00:21.620 --> 00:00:27.800
 in this congregation and through in Laxdale in the Sunday school there. We lift up our hearts

00:00:27.800 --> 00:00:37.219
 to the Lord in worship to praise his glorious name and we worship God with the words of Psalm 149

00:00:37.219 --> 00:00:45.939
 from the Scottish Psalter. Let's sing together Psalm 149 from the Scottish Psalter at the beginning

00:00:45.939 --> 00:00:56.600
 and the verses 1 to 4. The tune is Montrose as we sing, praise ye the Lord, unto him sing a new song

00:00:56.600 --> 00:01:06.960
 and his praise in sweet songs do ye raise. Let's rise and sing praise to our great God.

00:01:06.959 --> 00:01:36.939
 is he the Lord, unto him sing a new song and his praise in thee, that sent me all his praise.

00:01:36.939 --> 00:02:06.920
 in sweet songs do ye raise. Let Israel in peace make your joy, and to him praises sing. Let all that thy

00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:08.920
 the words of a body to sing the gospel is known for your greatest song forounding

00:02:08.920 --> 00:02:20.659
 and theesiom

00:02:20.659 --> 00:02:36.900
 be do ye raise. Let them and do his great hymp 57

00:02:36.900 --> 00:02:51.900
 With them with timbrel and with harb, His songs His praise advance.

00:02:51.900 --> 00:03:07.900
 For God doth pleasure take in those that His own people meet,

00:03:07.900 --> 00:03:23.500
 and He with His salvation the meek will beauty.

00:03:30.500 --> 00:03:34.560
 We draw near to our God in prayer. Let us pray.

00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:48.479
 It is sweet indeed, gracious Lord, to come to make melody in heart and in mind before the Lord.

00:03:49.180 --> 00:04:02.879
 We ask that we would be reminded constantly of the grace and the goodness that we have received from our faithful God, our Maker.

00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:11.659
 We ask that our worship will be characterized by the privilege of Christian joy.

00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:21.040
 Let Israel in His Maker joy, and to Him praises sing.

00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:29.100
 As we look around this world of war and of confusion and of tragedy,

00:04:30.140 --> 00:04:39.680
 as we see around us wickedness seeming to be out of control in so many places,

00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:47.660
 Lord, where is there to be found any source of comfort, any source of joy,

00:04:48.740 --> 00:04:57.240
 apart from eternal truth and eternal holiness, eternal beauty,

00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:03.899
 that which comes from beholding the face of God.

00:05:03.899 --> 00:05:11.060
 may we be still in the Lord's presence in this hour of worship tonight,

00:05:11.579 --> 00:05:15.560
 and may our hearts be prepared and made ready

00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:25.120
 for a Lord's day of blessings and of rest and of good things.

00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:33.120
 As we turn in these days around communion to the Gospel of John to read together,

00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:44.319
 and as we hear again the familiar story of our Saviour's obedience and humility and love,

00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:47.980
 give us ears to hear.

00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:51.040
 Give us understanding.

00:05:52.399 --> 00:05:57.300
 Increase our love for your holy child, Jesus.

00:05:58.459 --> 00:06:05.420
 Help us in our minds and our imaginations to see Him

00:06:05.420 --> 00:06:08.280
 and to adore Him,

00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:10.759
 to love Him,

00:06:11.640 --> 00:06:17.879
 and to rejoice with thanksgiving in all your works.

00:06:19.060 --> 00:06:22.819
 We come with the church through ages past

00:06:22.819 --> 00:06:25.439
 to worship God,

00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:29.300
 and we join our prayers and our praises

00:06:29.300 --> 00:06:33.460
 with the church that is in heaven around the throne.

00:06:33.459 --> 00:06:36.459
 Paul could pray,

00:06:37.079 --> 00:06:39.979
 leading the church in its prayer,

00:06:40.259 --> 00:06:42.180
 bowing the knee to the Father,

00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:45.019
 in whom the whole family,

00:06:45.719 --> 00:06:46.759
 in heaven

00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:49.180
 and on earth,

00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:51.459
 finds its name,

00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:52.959
 its identity,

00:06:53.219 --> 00:06:54.179
 and its source.

00:06:55.599 --> 00:06:58.259
 We pray to our Father,

00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:03.060
 but we do not yet see His glory fully.

00:07:03.459 --> 00:07:06.399
 But the church in glory

00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:10.120
 is bathed in light.

00:07:11.779 --> 00:07:12.899
 Our praises

00:07:12.899 --> 00:07:15.259
 and their praises

00:07:15.259 --> 00:07:17.359
 coming together

00:07:17.359 --> 00:07:19.339
 in Jesus

00:07:19.339 --> 00:07:22.199
 to the glory of the Father.

00:07:23.339 --> 00:07:24.299
 How wonderful.

00:07:25.599 --> 00:07:29.319
 Lord, bless the work of this congregation,

00:07:29.319 --> 00:07:31.500
 in this community,

00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:34.620
 and in its influence throughout the island

00:07:34.620 --> 00:07:35.980
 and further afield.

00:07:36.699 --> 00:07:38.259
 We thank you, Lord,

00:07:38.339 --> 00:07:39.959
 for missionary partnerships

00:07:39.959 --> 00:07:42.860
 that have been rich and rewarding

00:07:42.860 --> 00:07:44.620
 through decades.

00:07:44.620 --> 00:07:47.860
 and we ask that tonight,

00:07:48.500 --> 00:07:49.699
 as a church,

00:07:50.300 --> 00:07:52.920
 in our commitment to Jesus,

00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:54.600
 we would be concerned

00:07:54.600 --> 00:07:57.740
 for the care of the church

00:07:57.740 --> 00:07:59.899
 and of the saints,

00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:02.439
 but also for the welfare

00:08:02.439 --> 00:08:05.699
 of those who are not yet part of the church,

00:08:05.699 --> 00:08:07.759
 and for children

00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:08.939
 and young people

00:08:08.939 --> 00:08:11.019
 who have yet to

00:08:11.019 --> 00:08:13.979
 show covenant obedience

00:08:13.979 --> 00:08:16.139
 by an adult

00:08:16.139 --> 00:08:17.959
 and a maturing faith.

00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:20.079
 How we long

00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:22.980
 for the church of today

00:08:22.980 --> 00:08:25.699
 to be used of God

00:08:25.699 --> 00:08:28.099
 as a means

00:08:28.099 --> 00:08:30.459
 to sow the seed

00:08:30.459 --> 00:08:32.960
 for the church of tomorrow

00:08:32.960 --> 00:08:35.399
 and the latter days.

00:08:36.200 --> 00:08:37.639
 Take pleasure

00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:39.919
 in your people,

00:08:40.379 --> 00:08:41.319
 gracious Lord.

00:08:42.480 --> 00:08:43.860
 Take pleasure

00:08:43.860 --> 00:08:46.460
 in your own people

00:08:46.460 --> 00:08:49.919
 and with your salvation

00:08:49.919 --> 00:08:53.539
 make beautiful your people.

00:08:53.539 --> 00:08:55.980
 make mature

00:08:55.980 --> 00:08:57.539
 and fruitful

00:08:57.539 --> 00:08:58.839
 your people

00:08:58.839 --> 00:09:01.919
 so that your people's praises

00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:04.459
 will not be merely in form,

00:09:04.899 --> 00:09:07.240
 but with the whole heart,

00:09:07.899 --> 00:09:09.659
 with the whole mind,

00:09:11.079 --> 00:09:12.679
 leaning towards the Lord

00:09:12.679 --> 00:09:15.860
 and declaring his praises.

00:09:16.899 --> 00:09:18.039
 May we declare

00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:20.199
 our Savior Jesus

00:09:20.199 --> 00:09:23.379
 when we lift the cup of salvation

00:09:23.379 --> 00:09:25.019
 when we break

00:09:25.019 --> 00:09:26.519
 and share with one another

00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:28.220
 the bread that speaks

00:09:28.220 --> 00:09:29.220
 of his body

00:09:29.220 --> 00:09:30.740
 tomorrow.

00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:33.120
 May we proclaim

00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:34.720
 the Lord's death

00:09:34.720 --> 00:09:36.679
 until he comes.

00:09:38.019 --> 00:09:39.159
 And may the meek

00:09:39.159 --> 00:09:41.340
 be beautified

00:09:41.340 --> 00:09:44.080
 by the Spirit's work.

00:09:45.240 --> 00:09:46.639
 And may we eat

00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:47.519
 and drink

00:09:47.519 --> 00:09:48.820
 with each other

00:09:48.820 --> 00:09:51.420
 and with our Lord

00:09:51.420 --> 00:09:53.720
 as friends

00:09:53.720 --> 00:09:56.020
 and as the people

00:09:56.020 --> 00:09:58.940
 who know peace with God.

00:10:00.040 --> 00:10:02.700
 We pray that you would remember

00:10:02.700 --> 00:10:03.820
 this nation.

00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:06.220
 Even the king

00:10:06.220 --> 00:10:08.140
 is frail

00:10:08.140 --> 00:10:09.700
 and made of dust.

00:10:11.180 --> 00:10:12.000
 Send healing

00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:12.940
 and blessing

00:10:12.940 --> 00:10:14.200
 upon him

00:10:14.200 --> 00:10:16.280
 and his family.

00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:18.419
 and remember

00:10:18.419 --> 00:10:19.539
 those who govern

00:10:19.539 --> 00:10:21.120
 in Edinburgh

00:10:21.120 --> 00:10:23.279
 and in the

00:10:23.279 --> 00:10:24.299
 assemblies

00:10:24.299 --> 00:10:25.299
 and parliaments

00:10:25.299 --> 00:10:27.019
 of the United Kingdom

00:10:27.019 --> 00:10:28.100
 in the various

00:10:28.100 --> 00:10:29.139
 nations

00:10:29.139 --> 00:10:30.819
 and in the UK.

00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:33.559
 But most of all

00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:34.220
 we pray

00:10:34.220 --> 00:10:35.419
 for that kingdom

00:10:35.419 --> 00:10:36.779
 that is coming

00:10:36.779 --> 00:10:39.039
 and for that kingdom

00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:40.000
 that is growing

00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:42.120
 and for that kingdom

00:10:42.120 --> 00:10:43.419
 that will never,

00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:44.639
 never end.

00:10:44.639 --> 00:10:46.740
 the kingdom

00:10:46.740 --> 00:10:47.699
 of our Lord

00:10:47.699 --> 00:10:48.600
 and Saviour

00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:49.799
 Jesus Christ.

00:10:50.939 --> 00:10:51.840
 May the light

00:10:51.840 --> 00:10:52.819
 of his face

00:10:52.819 --> 00:10:53.559
 be turned

00:10:53.559 --> 00:10:54.259
 towards

00:10:54.259 --> 00:10:55.919
 his praying people

00:10:55.919 --> 00:10:56.519
 today

00:10:56.519 --> 00:10:58.199
 in this land

00:10:58.199 --> 00:11:00.080
 and in every land.

00:11:01.199 --> 00:11:02.039
 Keep us

00:11:02.039 --> 00:11:04.139
 and use us

00:11:04.139 --> 00:11:06.059
 and bless us

00:11:06.059 --> 00:11:07.779
 and grant to us

00:11:07.779 --> 00:11:08.639
 that for which

00:11:08.639 --> 00:11:09.779
 Jesus prayed

00:11:09.779 --> 00:11:11.460
 in the upper room.

00:11:13.019 --> 00:11:14.100
 Keep us united

00:11:14.100 --> 00:11:16.279
 and keep us

00:11:16.279 --> 00:11:16.879
 loving

00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:18.460
 our Lord

00:11:18.460 --> 00:11:20.379
 and one another

00:11:20.379 --> 00:11:22.500
 and keep us

00:11:22.500 --> 00:11:23.159
 as lovers

00:11:23.159 --> 00:11:24.440
 of your truth.

00:11:25.840 --> 00:11:26.800
 Remember those

00:11:26.800 --> 00:11:27.620
 who are suffering

00:11:27.620 --> 00:11:28.399
 and sick

00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:29.379
 who are known

00:11:29.379 --> 00:11:30.000
 to us

00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:31.100
 and who are

00:11:31.100 --> 00:11:31.860
 in our prayers.

00:11:32.960 --> 00:11:33.639
 Remember those

00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:34.560
 who join us

00:11:34.560 --> 00:11:35.759
 over the internet

00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:37.820
 and make

00:11:37.820 --> 00:11:39.060
 your servants

00:11:39.060 --> 00:11:39.660
 hear

00:11:39.660 --> 00:11:42.000
 ministering the word

00:11:42.000 --> 00:11:43.059
 in this town

00:11:43.059 --> 00:11:44.600
 and from this pulpit

00:11:44.600 --> 00:11:46.019
 fruitful

00:11:46.019 --> 00:11:47.519
 joyful

00:11:47.519 --> 00:11:49.440
 faithful

00:11:49.440 --> 00:11:51.779
 and thankful

00:11:51.779 --> 00:11:53.460
 that they have

00:11:53.460 --> 00:11:54.799
 seen the Lord

00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:56.600
 working mighty

00:11:56.600 --> 00:11:57.299
 things

00:11:57.299 --> 00:11:58.840
 to his glory.

00:12:00.200 --> 00:12:00.659
 Remember

00:12:00.659 --> 00:12:02.200
 your servants

00:12:02.200 --> 00:12:02.639
 here

00:12:02.639 --> 00:12:04.059
 and all

00:12:04.059 --> 00:12:04.779
 whom they love

00:12:04.779 --> 00:12:06.419
 and remember

00:12:06.419 --> 00:12:07.139
 us all

00:12:07.139 --> 00:12:09.100
 pardoning sin

00:12:09.100 --> 00:12:10.980
 for Jesus'

00:12:11.259 --> 00:12:11.519
 sake.

00:12:12.299 --> 00:12:12.899
 Amen.

00:12:14.699 --> 00:12:16.220
 I'm going to sing

00:12:16.220 --> 00:12:17.240
 a further psalm

00:12:17.240 --> 00:12:18.439
 from the Scottish Psalter

00:12:18.439 --> 00:12:19.799
 Psalm 73

00:12:19.799 --> 00:12:21.960
 Psalm 73

00:12:21.960 --> 00:12:24.879
 at verse 23

00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:26.699
 in the psalm

00:12:26.699 --> 00:12:27.679
 the tune is

00:12:27.679 --> 00:12:28.299
 Weatherby

00:12:28.299 --> 00:12:30.259
 if you're using

00:12:30.259 --> 00:12:30.899
 the books

00:12:30.899 --> 00:12:32.659
 Psalm 73

00:12:32.659 --> 00:12:33.879
 at verse 23

00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:34.919
 is on page

00:12:34.919 --> 00:12:36.639
 316

00:12:36.639 --> 00:12:39.460
 the psalmist

00:12:39.460 --> 00:12:40.100
 here is

00:12:40.100 --> 00:12:40.919
 disturbed

00:12:40.919 --> 00:12:42.240
 but the wicked

00:12:42.240 --> 00:12:42.639
 are

00:12:42.639 --> 00:12:44.360
 apparently

00:12:44.360 --> 00:12:45.860
 getting on

00:12:45.860 --> 00:12:46.399
 with life

00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:47.320
 without God

00:12:47.320 --> 00:12:48.919
 they do

00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:49.340
 their own

00:12:49.340 --> 00:12:49.779
 thing

00:12:49.779 --> 00:12:51.340
 it doesn't

00:12:51.340 --> 00:12:52.200
 seem to matter

00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:53.720
 and often

00:12:53.720 --> 00:12:54.659
 God's people

00:12:54.659 --> 00:12:55.439
 and even

00:12:55.439 --> 00:12:56.299
 God's king

00:12:56.299 --> 00:12:58.000
 can be

00:12:58.000 --> 00:12:58.720
 in the gutter

00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:00.620
 and bewildered

00:13:00.620 --> 00:13:01.620
 by providence

00:13:01.620 --> 00:13:03.580
 but to draw

00:13:03.580 --> 00:13:04.480
 near to God

00:13:04.480 --> 00:13:05.139
 and to worship

00:13:05.139 --> 00:13:05.620
 God

00:13:05.620 --> 00:13:06.200
 is to make

00:13:06.200 --> 00:13:07.100
 all things

00:13:07.100 --> 00:13:07.860
 clear

00:13:07.860 --> 00:13:09.560
 so we sing

00:13:09.560 --> 00:13:11.080
 from verse 23

00:13:11.080 --> 00:13:12.860
 to 26

00:13:12.860 --> 00:13:13.779
 to Weatherby

00:13:13.779 --> 00:13:14.639
 nevertheless

00:13:14.639 --> 00:13:16.039
 continually

00:13:16.039 --> 00:13:17.639
 O Lord

00:13:17.639 --> 00:13:18.740
 I am

00:13:18.740 --> 00:13:20.419
 with thee

00:13:20.419 --> 00:13:21.519
 let us stand

00:13:21.519 --> 00:13:22.080
 and sing

00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:44.960
 thou dost

00:13:44.960 --> 00:13:47.000
 behold

00:13:47.000 --> 00:13:48.480
 by thy

00:13:48.480 --> 00:13:50.480
 right

00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:51.620
 heart

00:13:51.620 --> 00:13:54.080
 and still

00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:56.480
 thou hold

00:13:56.480 --> 00:13:57.379
 us

00:13:57.379 --> 00:13:58.720
 near

00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:00.639
 now

00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:02.039
 with

00:14:02.039 --> 00:14:03.039
 thy

00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:04.299
 hands

00:14:04.299 --> 00:14:05.159
 still

00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:06.539
 while

00:14:06.539 --> 00:14:08.620
 I live

00:14:08.620 --> 00:14:10.000
 wilt

00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:11.419
 be

00:14:11.419 --> 00:14:13.000
 conduct

00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:14.580
 and

00:14:14.580 --> 00:14:15.000
 guide

00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:17.639
 and

00:14:17.639 --> 00:14:18.000
 took

00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:19.919
 thy

00:14:19.919 --> 00:14:21.620
 glory

00:14:21.620 --> 00:14:24.000
 afterward

00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:27.000
 receive

00:14:27.000 --> 00:14:28.000
 me

00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:30.000
 to

00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:32.000
 abide

00:14:32.000 --> 00:14:34.000
 O

00:14:34.000 --> 00:14:35.000
 Mah

00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:37.000
 Abayin

00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:39.000
 the

00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:41.000
 heavens

00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:42.000
 high

00:14:42.000 --> 00:14:44.000
 that

00:14:44.000 --> 00:14:45.000
 live

00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:46.000
 O

00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:47.000
 Lord

00:14:47.000 --> 00:14:49.000
 alone

00:14:49.000 --> 00:14:51.000
 and

00:14:51.000 --> 00:14:52.000
 in

00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:53.000
 the

00:14:53.000 --> 00:14:54.000
 air

00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:55.000
 will

00:14:55.000 --> 00:14:56.000
 my

00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:57.000
 desire

00:14:57.000 --> 00:14:59.000
 besides

00:14:59.000 --> 00:15:00.000
 me

00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:01.000
 there

00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:02.000
 is

00:15:02.000 --> 00:15:03.000
 come

00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:04.000
 my

00:15:04.000 --> 00:15:05.000
 flesh

00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:06.000
 and

00:15:06.000 --> 00:15:07.000
 heart

00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:08.000
 my

00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:09.000
 flesh

00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:10.000
 and

00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:11.000
 heart

00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:12.000
 thou

00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:14.000
 faint

00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:15.000
 and

00:15:15.000 --> 00:15:16.000
 fail

00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:17.000
 but

00:15:17.000 --> 00:15:18.000
 God

00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:20.000
 doth

00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:21.000
 fail

00:15:21.000 --> 00:15:22.000
 forever

00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:23.000
 for

00:15:23.000 --> 00:15:24.000
 of

00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:25.000
 my

00:15:25.000 --> 00:15:26.000
 heart

00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:30.000
 God

00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:31.000
 is

00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:32.000
 less

00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:33.000
 than

00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:35.000
 and

00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:37.000
 portion

00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:39.000
 forever

00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:41.000
 forever

00:15:49.000 --> 00:15:50.000
 we're turning to the

00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:56.000
 scriptures to the New Testament and to the gospel of John to chapter 19

00:15:56.000 --> 00:16:05.139
 in john 19 last evening if you were with us we read the opening verses of john 19 and we take

00:16:05.139 --> 00:16:13.779
 up the reading in the middle of verse 16 this evening to give you the setting the lord jesus

00:16:13.779 --> 00:16:23.379
 was with his disciples in the upper room on the thursday evening of the last week of his life

00:16:23.379 --> 00:16:34.100
 he broke bread with them he washed their feet judas left to betray him and wonderful teaching

00:16:34.100 --> 00:16:42.700
 was given in that upper room and he prayed for them as perhaps no man has ever prayed

00:16:42.700 --> 00:16:51.879
 in the history of the world and then they went out into the night and chapter 18 records his arrest

00:16:51.879 --> 00:17:02.620
 in the garden of gethsemane and the beginnings of his trial and now in chapter 19 the cross

00:17:02.620 --> 00:17:14.200
 draws near john 19 verse 16 so they took jesus

00:17:14.200 --> 00:17:28.240
 and he went out bearing his own cross to the place called the place of a skull which in aramaic is called

00:17:28.240 --> 00:17:39.660
 golgotha there they crucified him and within two others one on either side and jesus between them

00:17:39.660 --> 00:17:52.519
 pilate also wrote an inscription and put it on the cross it read jesus of nazareth the king of the jews

00:17:52.519 --> 00:18:01.160
 many of the jews read this inscription for the place where jesus for the place where jesus was crucified was

00:18:01.160 --> 00:18:12.100
 near the city and it was written in aramaic in latin and in greek so the chief priests of the jews said to pilate

00:18:12.100 --> 00:18:19.820
 do not write the king of the jews but rather this man said i am king of the jews

00:18:19.819 --> 00:18:33.019
 pilate pilate answered what i have written i have written when the soldiers had crucified jesus

00:18:33.019 --> 00:18:42.379
 they took his garments and divided them into four parts one part for each soldier also his tunic

00:18:42.380 --> 00:18:53.100
 but the tunic was seamless woven in one piece from top to bottom so they said to one another let us not

00:18:53.100 --> 00:19:07.580
 tear it but cast lots for it to see whose it shall be this was to fulfill the scripture which says they divided

00:19:07.579 --> 00:19:21.119
 my garments among them and for my clothing they cast lots so the soldiers did these things

00:19:21.119 --> 00:19:30.819
 but standing by the cross of jesus where his mother and his mother's sister mary the wife of clopas

00:19:30.819 --> 00:19:40.460
 and mary magdalene when jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby he said to his mother

00:19:40.460 --> 00:19:57.200
 woman behold your son then he said to the disciple behold your mother and from that hour

00:19:57.200 --> 00:20:08.700
 the disciple took her to his own house to his own home this is the holy and inspired word of god

00:20:08.700 --> 00:20:19.319
 may he bless to us the word and may it come alive for us before we study these verses together

00:20:19.319 --> 00:20:29.240
 we're going to sing again a psalm of the cross psalm 22 from sing psalms in sing psalms psalm 22 at verse 16

00:20:29.240 --> 00:20:41.799
 page 26 in the blue book psalm 22 at verse 16 the psalmist is persecuted and suffering

00:20:41.799 --> 00:20:56.379
 a pack of dogs encloses me their circle round me is complete i am beset by evil men and they have pierced

00:20:56.379 --> 00:21:07.559
 my hands and feet prophesying beyond whatever the psalmist experienced the horrors of the cross

00:21:07.559 --> 00:21:12.279
 the tunis maro will stand and sing verses 16 onwards

00:21:12.279 --> 00:21:32.759
 a pack of dogs encloses me their circle round me is complete

00:21:32.759 --> 00:21:57.640
 i am beset by evil men and they have pierced my hands and feet i count the number of my

00:21:57.640 --> 00:22:03.640
 my hands and feet i am beset by evil men and they have pierced my hands and feet i am beset by

00:22:03.640 --> 00:22:07.640
 the people they have pierced my hands and feet i am beset by the people they have pierced

00:22:07.640 --> 00:22:13.640
 they throw the dice to get my coat among themselves my clothes they share

00:22:13.640 --> 00:22:39.180
 and probably cover the dividing line of jade caman it will happenir

00:22:39.180 --> 00:22:58.400
 O Lord, save me from power of evil dogs, my precious life from cruel storm.

00:22:58.400 --> 00:23:14.560
 From menace of the lion's mouth, and from their fury setting me,

00:23:14.559 --> 00:23:31.559
 from peril of wild oxen's arms, he heard my guide and rescued me.

00:23:31.559 --> 00:23:53.039
 Brothers and sisters in Jesus, the story of the cross is a holy story,

00:23:53.039 --> 00:23:59.399
 and these chapters around the cross are holy ground.

00:23:59.400 --> 00:24:02.280
 Perhaps we could briefly pray.

00:24:03.800 --> 00:24:12.560
 May we receive, gracious Lord, the truth of your word in a fresh way,

00:24:13.360 --> 00:24:25.940
 in a way that brings certainty and conviction and Christian joy to each one of us.

00:24:25.940 --> 00:24:39.160
 May we see Jesus, show us Jesus in his beauty and in his service and humility.

00:24:39.820 --> 00:24:43.740
 To the glory of God the Father. Amen.

00:24:43.740 --> 00:24:56.759
 The word behold is a really beautiful word in the English language.

00:24:57.279 --> 00:25:03.660
 It's a word that invites us to stop, to look, to consider.

00:25:03.660 --> 00:25:06.320
 I know it sounds a little bit old-fashioned.

00:25:06.620 --> 00:25:07.140
 Behold.

00:25:08.900 --> 00:25:15.340
 But sometimes Bible translations are conservative in their use of language,

00:25:15.340 --> 00:25:17.980
 even their use of the English language.

00:25:19.000 --> 00:25:24.759
 And I think that was probably true even centuries ago, 400 years ago,

00:25:24.759 --> 00:25:27.279
 when Bible translations were being made.

00:25:27.279 --> 00:25:33.500
 Sometimes they were a little bit clunky and a little bit archaic when they were brand new.

00:25:34.299 --> 00:25:42.059
 Because they were trying to get a hold of the truth written in Hebrew, written in Greek,

00:25:42.619 --> 00:25:49.779
 that was itself reverent and presenting things to us

00:25:49.779 --> 00:25:56.119
 that are not always common or ordinary or everyday.

00:25:57.920 --> 00:26:04.279
 You cannot talk about Jesus and his cross without stopping,

00:26:06.000 --> 00:26:11.680
 pausing, thinking, looking.

00:26:11.680 --> 00:26:19.140
 And my problem and maybe your problem is that we're often so busy

00:26:19.140 --> 00:26:29.100
 that we just don't stop to think, to meditate, to look.

00:26:30.320 --> 00:26:34.740
 And our world and our culture is in such a hurry.

00:26:37.320 --> 00:26:39.779
 It doesn't want to look at the cross.

00:26:39.779 --> 00:26:47.500
 It finds God and the Bible an embarrassment.

00:26:48.819 --> 00:26:50.460
 You can talk about spirituality.

00:26:51.500 --> 00:26:53.059
 You can talk about culture.

00:26:53.359 --> 00:26:54.559
 You can talk about belief.

00:26:56.079 --> 00:27:02.960
 But if it becomes too focused on the story of the Scripture,

00:27:04.019 --> 00:27:06.759
 we want to look the other way.

00:27:07.460 --> 00:27:08.420
 That is sad.

00:27:09.779 --> 00:27:18.579
 What do we have that invites us to look and to behold in John's Gospel

00:27:18.579 --> 00:27:22.480
 and in the account of the cross in John?

00:27:24.079 --> 00:27:26.460
 It's an eyewitness account.

00:27:26.460 --> 00:27:34.680
 I don't doubt that John was an old man when he wrote this Gospel.

00:27:34.680 --> 00:27:41.319
 And that probably at least three decades and maybe more had passed

00:27:41.319 --> 00:27:44.620
 from the events he was talking about

00:27:44.620 --> 00:27:47.539
 and coming to write them down.

00:27:47.539 --> 00:27:52.000
 John was an old man when he died.

00:27:55.259 --> 00:27:57.220
 But he talks about the cross

00:27:57.220 --> 00:28:05.940
 in the way someone speaks about an event that is absolutely life-changing.

00:28:05.940 --> 00:28:10.740
 A day he is never going to forget.

00:28:10.740 --> 00:28:16.779
 And it's as if he's back there seeing things,

00:28:17.580 --> 00:28:19.180
 hearing things.

00:28:19.860 --> 00:28:25.500
 The sights and the smells of that day must have been appalling.

00:28:25.500 --> 00:28:29.380
 There were others that he loved there.

00:28:29.380 --> 00:28:32.640
 The family of Jesus was there.

00:28:33.640 --> 00:28:35.339
 The enemies were there.

00:28:37.099 --> 00:28:42.599
 But this reads as a first-hand account

00:28:42.599 --> 00:28:49.400
 from a man who has had a lifetime to think about what he saw.

00:28:49.400 --> 00:28:54.700
 Last night, if you were here,

00:28:55.460 --> 00:29:00.040
 we were invited looking at the way Pilate treated Jesus

00:29:00.040 --> 00:29:02.420
 to behold the man,

00:29:03.280 --> 00:29:05.340
 to behold the king.

00:29:06.620 --> 00:29:08.280
 What do we think of the prisoner

00:29:08.280 --> 00:29:11.680
 who's getting this unjust trial?

00:29:13.560 --> 00:29:14.120
 Tonight,

00:29:15.800 --> 00:29:17.480
 behold the son

00:29:17.480 --> 00:29:21.220
 Mary's son

00:29:21.220 --> 00:29:23.779
 suffering and dying.

00:29:24.900 --> 00:29:26.380
 Behold the son,

00:29:27.940 --> 00:29:29.660
 God's son

00:29:29.660 --> 00:29:32.460
 suffering and dying.

00:29:34.319 --> 00:29:35.420
 And to behold

00:29:35.420 --> 00:29:38.480
 the shame

00:29:38.480 --> 00:29:40.900
 of it all.

00:29:42.180 --> 00:29:43.319
 The shame

00:29:43.319 --> 00:29:46.240
 that John remembers

00:29:46.240 --> 00:29:47.559
 years

00:29:47.559 --> 00:29:48.380
 afterwards.

00:29:49.460 --> 00:29:50.539
 In chapter 18

00:29:50.539 --> 00:29:52.700
 and at verse 15,

00:29:53.700 --> 00:29:55.200
 you hear the language

00:29:55.200 --> 00:29:57.259
 of the eyewitness.

00:29:58.440 --> 00:29:59.720
 Simon Peter followed Jesus

00:29:59.720 --> 00:30:01.579
 and so did another disciple.

00:30:02.599 --> 00:30:03.720
 Since that disciple

00:30:03.720 --> 00:30:05.079
 was known to the high priest,

00:30:05.539 --> 00:30:07.319
 he entered with Jesus

00:30:07.319 --> 00:30:08.880
 into the court of the high priest.

00:30:09.700 --> 00:30:11.980
 And he was able to get Peter in as well.

00:30:11.980 --> 00:30:15.579
 Who is this anonymous disciple

00:30:15.579 --> 00:30:18.120
 who's being referred to in chapter 18?

00:30:18.940 --> 00:30:20.440
 Surely it's John himself.

00:30:20.579 --> 00:30:23.180
 He knows so much about what happened.

00:30:24.440 --> 00:30:27.360
 And Peter wasn't there for the whole time.

00:30:27.500 --> 00:30:29.259
 Peter went out and wept bitterly,

00:30:29.500 --> 00:30:31.720
 having denied his Lord three times

00:30:31.720 --> 00:30:33.980
 in the courtyard of the high priest.

00:30:33.980 --> 00:30:36.120
 But the disciple

00:30:36.120 --> 00:30:37.259
 who got him in

00:30:37.259 --> 00:30:38.420
 is the disciple

00:30:38.420 --> 00:30:39.319
 who doesn't like

00:30:39.319 --> 00:30:40.539
 to talk about himself

00:30:40.539 --> 00:30:42.039
 too much in this gospel.

00:30:42.039 --> 00:30:44.079
 He always finds a way

00:30:44.079 --> 00:30:45.920
 to say the disciple.

00:30:46.400 --> 00:30:48.500
 The disciple who Jesus loved.

00:30:49.900 --> 00:30:52.039
 He's talking about himself

00:30:52.039 --> 00:30:54.120
 in chapter 18

00:30:54.120 --> 00:30:55.960
 in all likelihood.

00:30:55.960 --> 00:30:59.519
 And here in chapter 19

00:30:59.519 --> 00:31:02.059
 from verse 16 onwards,

00:31:02.299 --> 00:31:05.079
 again on the way to the cross,

00:31:05.620 --> 00:31:10.160
 you have an eyewitness account.

00:31:11.600 --> 00:31:13.279
 He is the disciple

00:31:13.279 --> 00:31:15.180
 whom Jesus loved,

00:31:16.360 --> 00:31:18.400
 who from that hour,

00:31:18.920 --> 00:31:20.700
 the hour of the death of Jesus,

00:31:21.700 --> 00:31:23.440
 would take Mary

00:31:23.440 --> 00:31:28.120
 and be responsible for her

00:31:28.120 --> 00:31:30.380
 until she died.

00:31:32.420 --> 00:31:35.320
 Jesus was handing over

00:31:35.320 --> 00:31:38.640
 the care of his beloved mother

00:31:38.640 --> 00:31:43.580
 to his most well-beloved follower.

00:31:44.799 --> 00:31:45.360
 Woman,

00:31:46.860 --> 00:31:47.980
 behold your son.

00:31:50.920 --> 00:31:51.440
 Son,

00:31:51.440 --> 00:31:54.080
 behold

00:31:54.080 --> 00:31:56.420
 your mother.

00:31:58.080 --> 00:31:59.940
 Two things to notice this evening.

00:32:01.279 --> 00:32:02.059
 First of all,

00:32:02.180 --> 00:32:02.840
 the son

00:32:02.840 --> 00:32:05.700
 is put to shame.

00:32:07.980 --> 00:32:09.180
 The son

00:32:09.180 --> 00:32:12.900
 is put to shame.

00:32:14.600 --> 00:32:16.600
 In this eyewitness account,

00:32:17.039 --> 00:32:19.080
 what does John want you

00:32:19.080 --> 00:32:20.380
 to see?

00:32:21.440 --> 00:32:24.039
 In verse 5,

00:32:24.200 --> 00:32:25.160
 Pilate says,

00:32:25.240 --> 00:32:26.120
 behold the man.

00:32:26.820 --> 00:32:27.580
 And that word,

00:32:27.720 --> 00:32:28.279
 behold,

00:32:29.140 --> 00:32:30.500
 is a little bit like

00:32:30.500 --> 00:32:31.420
 ringing a bell.

00:32:32.740 --> 00:32:34.380
 Many key words

00:32:34.380 --> 00:32:35.279
 run through

00:32:35.279 --> 00:32:36.640
 the gospel of John.

00:32:37.000 --> 00:32:37.400
 Many

00:32:37.400 --> 00:32:38.080
 symbolical

00:32:38.920 --> 00:32:39.080
 incidents

00:32:40.039 --> 00:32:41.100
 keep being repeated.

00:32:41.380 --> 00:32:42.080
 There are contrasts

00:32:42.600 --> 00:32:43.299
 between, say,

00:32:43.360 --> 00:32:44.320
 light and darkness

00:32:44.320 --> 00:32:45.140
 in this gospel.

00:32:45.559 --> 00:32:45.840
 And so,

00:32:45.960 --> 00:32:46.820
 when you come across

00:32:46.820 --> 00:32:48.180
 certain words,

00:32:48.980 --> 00:32:50.080
 you look for connections.

00:32:50.079 --> 00:32:50.619
 connections.

00:32:50.619 --> 00:32:51.759
 And this word,

00:32:51.919 --> 00:32:52.619
 behold,

00:32:53.039 --> 00:32:55.159
 on the lips of Pilate

00:32:55.159 --> 00:32:56.919
 in verse 5,

00:32:57.639 --> 00:32:59.779
 is a very important word

00:32:59.779 --> 00:33:02.939
 in the first chapter

00:33:02.939 --> 00:33:04.159
 of this gospel.

00:33:04.160 --> 00:33:07.700
 it's John the Baptist,

00:33:07.700 --> 00:33:09.360
 the one witnessing

00:33:09.360 --> 00:33:10.160
 on the side

00:33:10.160 --> 00:33:10.860
 of the truth

00:33:10.860 --> 00:33:11.700
 and preparing

00:33:11.700 --> 00:33:12.259
 the way

00:33:12.259 --> 00:33:13.880
 for the Messiah

00:33:13.880 --> 00:33:15.660
 who sees Jesus

00:33:15.660 --> 00:33:16.980
 and in chapter 1

00:33:16.980 --> 00:33:18.040
 declares

00:33:18.040 --> 00:33:19.340
 in verse 29

00:33:19.340 --> 00:33:20.500
 and verse 36

00:33:20.500 --> 00:33:21.519
 of chapter 1,

00:33:22.120 --> 00:33:22.759
 behold

00:33:22.759 --> 00:33:24.300
 the Lamb

00:33:24.300 --> 00:33:25.920
 of God

00:33:25.920 --> 00:33:28.400
 who takes away

00:33:28.400 --> 00:33:30.180
 the sins

00:33:30.180 --> 00:33:30.920
 of the world.

00:33:30.920 --> 00:33:34.320
 in chapter 12,

00:33:35.460 --> 00:33:36.920
 we have a quotation

00:33:36.920 --> 00:33:38.840
 on Palm Sunday

00:33:38.840 --> 00:33:39.680
 on the day

00:33:39.680 --> 00:33:40.220
 that Jesus

00:33:40.220 --> 00:33:41.740
 enters his city

00:33:41.740 --> 00:33:42.800
 as a meek

00:33:42.800 --> 00:33:43.840
 and lowly king

00:33:43.840 --> 00:33:45.700
 to great acclamation

00:33:45.700 --> 00:33:47.380
 from the crowds

00:33:47.380 --> 00:33:49.100
 and they seem

00:33:49.100 --> 00:33:49.700
 to want to make

00:33:49.700 --> 00:33:50.680
 a king of him

00:33:50.680 --> 00:33:52.000
 and they seem

00:33:52.000 --> 00:33:53.100
 to love him.

00:33:53.420 --> 00:33:54.460
 Five days later,

00:33:54.460 --> 00:33:55.640
 they will be saying,

00:33:56.220 --> 00:33:56.560
 kill him,

00:33:56.640 --> 00:33:57.279
 away with him,

00:33:57.340 --> 00:33:58.039
 crucify him,

00:33:58.460 --> 00:33:59.360
 release Barabbas

00:33:59.359 --> 00:33:59.779
 to us,

00:33:59.899 --> 00:34:01.119
 but on Sunday

00:34:01.119 --> 00:34:02.459
 before the cross,

00:34:03.599 --> 00:34:05.059
 they're treating him

00:34:05.059 --> 00:34:07.199
 like the Messiah

00:34:07.199 --> 00:34:09.679
 and he's riding

00:34:09.679 --> 00:34:10.719
 on a donkey,

00:34:11.179 --> 00:34:12.339
 on a colt,

00:34:12.440 --> 00:34:13.659
 the foal of a donkey

00:34:13.659 --> 00:34:15.799
 and in John 12

00:34:15.799 --> 00:34:17.339
 verse 15 and 16

00:34:17.339 --> 00:34:19.079
 there is an echo

00:34:19.079 --> 00:34:20.099
 of the prophecy

00:34:20.099 --> 00:34:22.239
 of Zechariah,

00:34:22.359 --> 00:34:23.359
 behold your king

00:34:23.359 --> 00:34:24.119
 is coming,

00:34:24.779 --> 00:34:27.759
 sitting on a donkey's colt,

00:34:27.760 --> 00:34:29.780
 but the comment

00:34:29.780 --> 00:34:30.800
 of the writer

00:34:30.800 --> 00:34:32.460
 in John 12

00:34:32.460 --> 00:34:34.620
 is that at the time

00:34:34.620 --> 00:34:36.760
 they failed

00:34:36.760 --> 00:34:38.820
 to see Jesus

00:34:38.820 --> 00:34:41.460
 as the fulfillment

00:34:41.460 --> 00:34:42.920
 of all the promises

00:34:42.920 --> 00:34:44.300
 about the coming king.

00:34:44.300 --> 00:34:45.960
 At the time

00:34:45.960 --> 00:34:49.040
 they did not understand

00:34:49.040 --> 00:34:51.140
 but we're told

00:34:51.140 --> 00:34:52.620
 chapter 12 verse 16

00:34:52.620 --> 00:34:55.100
 when Jesus was glorified

00:34:55.099 --> 00:34:57.360
 then they remembered

00:34:57.360 --> 00:34:59.059
 that these things

00:34:59.059 --> 00:35:00.480
 had been written

00:35:00.480 --> 00:35:02.159
 about him.

00:35:03.019 --> 00:35:04.920
 And what had the prophet said?

00:35:05.579 --> 00:35:07.199
 Your king

00:35:07.199 --> 00:35:09.319
 is coming to you

00:35:09.319 --> 00:35:12.000
 but he's coming

00:35:12.000 --> 00:35:13.880
 meekly

00:35:13.880 --> 00:35:16.059
 and in peace

00:35:16.059 --> 00:35:18.759
 and not to wage war.

00:35:19.659 --> 00:35:21.819
 He's coming to die.

00:35:21.820 --> 00:35:24.380
 It was after

00:35:24.380 --> 00:35:25.740
 he was glorified

00:35:25.740 --> 00:35:27.820
 that the scriptures

00:35:27.820 --> 00:35:28.740
 about him

00:35:28.740 --> 00:35:30.400
 made sense.

00:35:31.539 --> 00:35:32.440
 But before

00:35:32.440 --> 00:35:33.760
 they could see him

00:35:33.760 --> 00:35:34.539
 in his glory

00:35:34.539 --> 00:35:35.980
 and understand him

00:35:35.980 --> 00:35:39.640
 he had to taste

00:35:39.640 --> 00:35:41.480
 shame.

00:35:43.140 --> 00:35:43.820
 And the beholds

00:35:44.620 --> 00:35:46.420
 start to come

00:35:46.420 --> 00:35:48.120
 thick and fast

00:35:48.120 --> 00:35:49.840
 in our reading

00:35:49.840 --> 00:35:50.420
 tonight.

00:35:51.420 --> 00:35:52.539
 For in John 19

00:35:52.539 --> 00:35:53.820
 we have

00:35:53.820 --> 00:35:54.519
 behold

00:35:54.519 --> 00:35:56.039
 in verse

00:35:56.039 --> 00:35:57.059
 14

00:35:57.059 --> 00:35:59.220
 it was about

00:35:59.220 --> 00:36:00.180
 the sixth hour

00:36:00.180 --> 00:36:01.100
 so

00:36:01.100 --> 00:36:02.760
 nobody wore a watch

00:36:02.760 --> 00:36:03.620
 in those days

00:36:03.620 --> 00:36:04.840
 but sixth hour

00:36:04.840 --> 00:36:05.559
 is halfway through

00:36:05.559 --> 00:36:06.079
 the day

00:36:06.079 --> 00:36:07.559
 twelve hours

00:36:07.559 --> 00:36:08.100
 in the day.

00:36:09.140 --> 00:36:10.240
 So somewhere

00:36:10.240 --> 00:36:10.880
 in the middle

00:36:10.880 --> 00:36:11.400
 of the day

00:36:11.400 --> 00:36:12.980
 Jesus is on the cross.

00:36:13.740 --> 00:36:15.200
 The other gospels

00:36:15.200 --> 00:36:16.800
 probably would move

00:36:16.800 --> 00:36:18.100
 that up a bit earlier

00:36:18.099 --> 00:36:19.299
 more towards

00:36:19.299 --> 00:36:19.960
 the morning

00:36:19.960 --> 00:36:20.599
 than towards

00:36:20.599 --> 00:36:21.219
 the midday

00:36:21.219 --> 00:36:22.639
 but these are not

00:36:22.639 --> 00:36:23.319
 supposed to be

00:36:23.319 --> 00:36:25.219
 specific time markers.

00:36:26.659 --> 00:36:27.619
 It was about

00:36:27.619 --> 00:36:30.779
 bright

00:36:30.779 --> 00:36:31.519
 full

00:36:31.519 --> 00:36:32.500
 sunlight

00:36:32.500 --> 00:36:34.139
 midday

00:36:34.139 --> 00:36:36.339
 when they put him

00:36:36.339 --> 00:36:37.000
 on the cross.

00:36:37.400 --> 00:36:37.920
 Behold

00:36:37.920 --> 00:36:39.679
 your

00:36:39.679 --> 00:36:41.259
 king

00:36:41.259 --> 00:36:44.139
 on a cross.

00:36:44.139 --> 00:36:47.500
 some king

00:36:47.500 --> 00:36:50.139
 on a cross.

00:36:51.339 --> 00:36:52.079
 And then

00:36:52.079 --> 00:36:52.500
 you have

00:36:52.500 --> 00:36:52.940
 behold

00:36:52.940 --> 00:36:54.000
 in verse 26

00:36:54.000 --> 00:36:55.319
 and in verse 27

00:36:55.319 --> 00:36:56.500
 and we're supposed

00:36:56.500 --> 00:36:57.420
 to remember

00:36:57.420 --> 00:36:58.139
 the behold

00:36:58.139 --> 00:36:59.139
 in chapter 1

00:36:59.139 --> 00:36:59.779
 I think.

00:37:00.059 --> 00:37:00.339
 Look

00:37:00.339 --> 00:37:01.339
 the Lamb of God

00:37:01.339 --> 00:37:02.219
 taking away

00:37:02.219 --> 00:37:03.159
 the sin of the world.

00:37:03.539 --> 00:37:03.779
 Look

00:37:03.779 --> 00:37:04.440
 the king

00:37:04.440 --> 00:37:05.319
 on a cross

00:37:05.319 --> 00:37:06.299
 taking away

00:37:06.299 --> 00:37:07.440
 the sin of the world.

00:37:08.199 --> 00:37:09.420
 And in verse 26

00:37:09.420 --> 00:37:10.400
 verse 27

00:37:10.400 --> 00:37:11.059
 woman

00:37:11.059 --> 00:37:11.779
 behold

00:37:11.779 --> 00:37:12.519
 your son.

00:37:14.139 --> 00:37:16.159
 your son

00:37:16.159 --> 00:37:17.259
 is dying.

00:37:19.000 --> 00:37:20.379
 So from now on

00:37:20.379 --> 00:37:21.400
 John will be

00:37:21.400 --> 00:37:22.019
 your son.

00:37:23.719 --> 00:37:24.500
 John

00:37:24.500 --> 00:37:25.139
 behold

00:37:25.139 --> 00:37:25.799
 your mother.

00:37:27.159 --> 00:37:28.000
 I'm dying.

00:37:29.379 --> 00:37:30.319
 From now on

00:37:30.319 --> 00:37:31.199
 Mary will be

00:37:31.199 --> 00:37:32.099
 your care.

00:37:34.339 --> 00:37:35.539
 The son

00:37:35.539 --> 00:37:38.199
 tasting death

00:37:38.199 --> 00:37:40.059
 tasting pain

00:37:40.059 --> 00:37:41.339
 tasting rejection

00:37:41.340 --> 00:37:43.960
 being the Lamb

00:37:43.960 --> 00:37:44.780
 of God

00:37:44.780 --> 00:37:46.840
 what does

00:37:46.840 --> 00:37:47.500
 the writer

00:37:47.500 --> 00:37:48.980
 want you to see?

00:37:50.980 --> 00:37:51.880
 Shame.

00:37:53.660 --> 00:37:54.220
 Judgment.

00:37:56.320 --> 00:37:56.980
 The wrath

00:37:56.980 --> 00:37:57.700
 of God

00:37:57.700 --> 00:38:00.160
 on this man.

00:38:00.159 --> 00:38:03.619
 I think

00:38:03.619 --> 00:38:04.159
 the way

00:38:04.159 --> 00:38:04.980
 I've been

00:38:04.980 --> 00:38:05.460
 conditioned

00:38:05.460 --> 00:38:06.139
 to think

00:38:06.139 --> 00:38:07.159
 and the way

00:38:07.159 --> 00:38:08.119
 the church

00:38:08.119 --> 00:38:09.399
 in the West

00:38:09.399 --> 00:38:11.259
 has presented

00:38:11.259 --> 00:38:12.179
 the cross

00:38:12.179 --> 00:38:13.819
 from the time

00:38:13.819 --> 00:38:14.699
 of the Reformation

00:38:14.699 --> 00:38:15.599
 onwards

00:38:15.599 --> 00:38:16.899
 the way

00:38:16.899 --> 00:38:17.659
 we've tended

00:38:17.659 --> 00:38:18.420
 to talk

00:38:18.420 --> 00:38:19.279
 about the cross

00:38:19.279 --> 00:38:20.599
 think about it

00:38:20.599 --> 00:38:21.359
 disciple

00:38:21.359 --> 00:38:22.239
 our children

00:38:22.239 --> 00:38:23.739
 preach about it

00:38:23.739 --> 00:38:24.920
 we have tended

00:38:24.920 --> 00:38:25.940
 to focus

00:38:25.940 --> 00:38:27.619
 quite rightly

00:38:27.619 --> 00:38:29.639
 on how

00:38:29.639 --> 00:38:30.599
 the cross

00:38:30.599 --> 00:38:32.079
 answers the

00:38:32.079 --> 00:38:32.679
 problem

00:38:32.679 --> 00:38:33.699
 of guilt

00:38:33.699 --> 00:38:35.019
 before God

00:38:35.019 --> 00:38:36.420
 and removes

00:38:36.420 --> 00:38:37.599
 the reality

00:38:37.599 --> 00:38:38.880
 of sin

00:38:38.880 --> 00:38:40.199
 before God

00:38:40.199 --> 00:38:43.359
 sin is a

00:38:43.359 --> 00:38:44.259
 real problem

00:38:44.259 --> 00:38:44.839
 there is a

00:38:44.839 --> 00:38:45.759
 real debt

00:38:45.759 --> 00:38:46.980
 and the cross

00:38:46.980 --> 00:38:47.759
 deals with it

00:38:47.759 --> 00:38:48.659
 and solves it

00:38:48.659 --> 00:38:49.440
 and the Reformation

00:38:49.440 --> 00:38:50.639
 was about

00:38:50.639 --> 00:38:51.779
 recovering a

00:38:51.779 --> 00:38:53.079
 biblical idea

00:38:53.079 --> 00:38:54.279
 of how the

00:38:54.279 --> 00:38:55.119
 death of Jesus

00:38:55.119 --> 00:38:56.400
 saves people

00:38:56.400 --> 00:38:57.740
 by dealing

00:38:57.740 --> 00:38:58.880
 with our

00:38:58.880 --> 00:38:59.599
 sin

00:38:59.599 --> 00:39:01.860
 one sacrifice

00:39:01.860 --> 00:39:03.240
 dealing with

00:39:03.240 --> 00:39:03.820
 guilt

00:39:03.820 --> 00:39:05.420
 justifying

00:39:05.420 --> 00:39:05.960
 sinners

00:39:05.960 --> 00:39:07.079
 in a

00:39:07.079 --> 00:39:07.500
 righteous

00:39:07.500 --> 00:39:08.079
 way

00:39:08.079 --> 00:39:10.360
 but there's

00:39:10.360 --> 00:39:11.340
 an aspect

00:39:11.340 --> 00:39:12.539
 of the work

00:39:12.539 --> 00:39:13.079
 of Jesus

00:39:13.079 --> 00:39:13.900
 on the cross

00:39:13.900 --> 00:39:14.900
 that the

00:39:14.900 --> 00:39:16.200
 early church

00:39:16.200 --> 00:39:16.740
 seemed to

00:39:16.740 --> 00:39:17.559
 understand

00:39:17.559 --> 00:39:18.180
 that the

00:39:18.180 --> 00:39:18.800
 church in

00:39:18.800 --> 00:39:19.200
 the first

00:39:19.200 --> 00:39:20.079
 few centuries

00:39:20.079 --> 00:39:20.780
 seemed to

00:39:20.780 --> 00:39:21.340
 understand

00:39:21.340 --> 00:39:22.619
 that I

00:39:22.619 --> 00:39:23.480
 don't think

00:39:23.480 --> 00:39:24.000
 we've been

00:39:24.000 --> 00:39:24.700
 so good at

00:39:24.700 --> 00:39:25.420
 holding on

00:39:25.420 --> 00:39:25.860
 to

00:39:25.860 --> 00:39:28.220
 in the

00:39:28.220 --> 00:39:28.840
 last few

00:39:28.840 --> 00:39:29.539
 centuries

00:39:29.539 --> 00:39:31.120
 certainly

00:39:31.120 --> 00:39:32.280
 in Europe

00:39:32.280 --> 00:39:33.820
 and in

00:39:33.820 --> 00:39:34.400
 the West

00:39:34.400 --> 00:39:37.059
 and that

00:39:37.059 --> 00:39:38.480
 is not so

00:39:38.480 --> 00:39:39.039
 much dealing

00:39:39.039 --> 00:39:39.300
 with

00:39:39.300 --> 00:39:40.720
 objective

00:39:40.720 --> 00:39:41.440
 guilt

00:39:41.440 --> 00:39:44.200
 but dealing

00:39:44.200 --> 00:39:45.300
 with the

00:39:45.300 --> 00:39:46.680
 consequences

00:39:46.680 --> 00:39:47.599
 of guilt

00:39:47.599 --> 00:39:49.300
 on our

00:39:49.300 --> 00:39:49.860
 minds

00:39:49.860 --> 00:39:50.360
 and on

00:39:50.360 --> 00:39:51.280
 our hearts

00:39:51.280 --> 00:39:53.400
 what we

00:39:53.400 --> 00:39:54.280
 could call

00:39:54.280 --> 00:39:56.180
 shame

00:39:56.180 --> 00:39:58.800
 shame

00:39:58.800 --> 00:39:59.420
 and guilt

00:39:59.420 --> 00:40:00.280
 are obviously

00:40:00.280 --> 00:40:01.080
 related

00:40:01.080 --> 00:40:01.860
 they're obviously

00:40:01.860 --> 00:40:02.700
 connected

00:40:02.700 --> 00:40:03.700
 and guilt

00:40:03.700 --> 00:40:04.960
 should make

00:40:04.960 --> 00:40:05.540
 you feel

00:40:05.540 --> 00:40:06.080
 ashamed

00:40:06.080 --> 00:40:07.040
 if you really

00:40:07.040 --> 00:40:07.780
 are guilty

00:40:07.780 --> 00:40:09.220
 naturally

00:40:09.220 --> 00:40:09.720
 you would

00:40:09.720 --> 00:40:10.400
 expect to

00:40:10.400 --> 00:40:11.160
 feel shame

00:40:11.160 --> 00:40:13.220
 but what I

00:40:13.220 --> 00:40:14.019
 want to say

00:40:14.019 --> 00:40:14.540
 to you

00:40:14.540 --> 00:40:15.320
 is that in

00:40:15.320 --> 00:40:15.960
 the world

00:40:15.960 --> 00:40:16.820
 that Jesus

00:40:16.820 --> 00:40:17.920
 lived in

00:40:17.920 --> 00:40:19.099
 in that

00:40:19.099 --> 00:40:19.720
 ancient

00:40:19.720 --> 00:40:20.420
 world

00:40:20.420 --> 00:40:22.019
 people cared

00:40:22.019 --> 00:40:23.159
 as much

00:40:23.159 --> 00:40:24.579
 about

00:40:24.579 --> 00:40:25.639
 shame

00:40:25.639 --> 00:40:28.240
 loss of

00:40:28.240 --> 00:40:28.800
 dignity

00:40:28.800 --> 00:40:29.500
 loss of

00:40:29.500 --> 00:40:29.980
 glory

00:40:29.980 --> 00:40:30.720
 loss of

00:40:30.720 --> 00:40:31.159
 name

00:40:31.159 --> 00:40:32.119
 loss of

00:40:32.119 --> 00:40:32.420
 face

00:40:32.420 --> 00:40:33.099
 they cared

00:40:33.099 --> 00:40:33.860
 as much

00:40:33.860 --> 00:40:34.840
 about it

00:40:34.840 --> 00:40:35.680
 as they

00:40:35.680 --> 00:40:36.639
 cared about

00:40:36.639 --> 00:40:37.539
 issues of

00:40:37.539 --> 00:40:38.500
 truth

00:40:38.500 --> 00:40:42.019
 I'm not

00:40:42.019 --> 00:40:42.280
 going to

00:40:42.280 --> 00:40:42.940
 play down

00:40:42.940 --> 00:40:43.460
 issues of

00:40:43.460 --> 00:40:43.900
 truth

00:40:43.900 --> 00:40:45.360
 sin

00:40:45.360 --> 00:40:46.160
 is sin

00:40:46.160 --> 00:40:46.639
 guilt

00:40:46.639 --> 00:40:47.800
 is guilt

00:40:47.800 --> 00:40:48.260
 and we

00:40:48.260 --> 00:40:49.000
 should care

00:40:49.000 --> 00:40:49.599
 about these

00:40:49.599 --> 00:40:50.340
 facts

00:40:50.340 --> 00:40:51.559
 but while

00:40:51.559 --> 00:40:52.180
 we care

00:40:52.180 --> 00:40:52.820
 about these

00:40:52.820 --> 00:40:53.519
 facts

00:40:53.519 --> 00:40:55.260
 we should

00:40:55.260 --> 00:40:56.500
 also care

00:40:56.500 --> 00:40:57.099
 about

00:40:57.099 --> 00:40:58.700
 what these

00:40:58.700 --> 00:40:59.360
 facts

00:40:59.360 --> 00:41:00.160
 mean

00:41:00.160 --> 00:41:01.780
 for how

00:41:01.780 --> 00:41:02.360
 people

00:41:02.360 --> 00:41:03.300
 feel

00:41:03.300 --> 00:41:04.619
 and how

00:41:04.619 --> 00:41:05.760
 they relate

00:41:05.760 --> 00:41:06.400
 to other

00:41:06.400 --> 00:41:07.139
 people

00:41:07.139 --> 00:41:07.980
 and how

00:41:07.980 --> 00:41:08.660
 they relate

00:41:08.660 --> 00:41:09.420
 to God

00:41:09.420 --> 00:41:11.139
 because in

00:41:11.139 --> 00:41:11.780
 the ancient

00:41:11.780 --> 00:41:12.539
 world their

00:41:12.539 --> 00:41:13.559
 culture was

00:41:13.559 --> 00:41:14.719
 much more

00:41:14.719 --> 00:41:16.519
 a culture

00:41:16.519 --> 00:41:18.920
 of shame

00:41:18.920 --> 00:41:20.420
 and honour

00:41:20.420 --> 00:41:26.519
 so if I

00:41:26.519 --> 00:41:28.340
 swear

00:41:28.340 --> 00:41:31.559
 that's a

00:41:31.559 --> 00:41:31.799
 sin

00:41:31.799 --> 00:41:35.599
 if I

00:41:35.599 --> 00:41:36.440
 swear

00:41:36.440 --> 00:41:38.739
 in front

00:41:38.739 --> 00:41:40.219
 of my

00:41:40.219 --> 00:41:41.019
 grandmother

00:41:41.019 --> 00:41:41.639
 or my

00:41:41.639 --> 00:41:42.159
 mother

00:41:42.159 --> 00:41:42.940
 or a

00:41:42.940 --> 00:41:43.579
 four year

00:41:43.579 --> 00:41:43.980
 old

00:41:43.980 --> 00:41:44.539
 child

00:41:44.539 --> 00:41:47.819
 that's

00:41:47.819 --> 00:41:48.319
 still a

00:41:48.319 --> 00:41:48.619
 sin

00:41:48.619 --> 00:41:50.839
 but it's

00:41:50.839 --> 00:41:51.619
 also a

00:41:51.619 --> 00:41:52.259
 shame

00:41:52.259 --> 00:41:56.739
 it's a

00:41:56.739 --> 00:41:57.460
 disgrace

00:41:57.460 --> 00:41:59.960
 it's a

00:41:59.960 --> 00:42:01.019
 dishonour

00:42:01.019 --> 00:42:03.719
 and

00:42:03.719 --> 00:42:04.719
 the

00:42:04.719 --> 00:42:05.440
 Bible

00:42:05.440 --> 00:42:06.360
 wants you

00:42:06.360 --> 00:42:06.880
 to look

00:42:06.880 --> 00:42:07.259
 at the

00:42:07.259 --> 00:42:07.880
 cross

00:42:07.880 --> 00:42:10.539
 and see

00:42:10.539 --> 00:42:11.559
 that Jesus

00:42:11.559 --> 00:42:12.480
 carries

00:42:12.480 --> 00:42:13.219
 guilt

00:42:13.219 --> 00:42:15.199
 and he

00:42:15.199 --> 00:42:16.019
 pays for

00:42:16.019 --> 00:42:16.179
 it

00:42:16.179 --> 00:42:16.460
 and he

00:42:16.460 --> 00:42:17.300
 answers for

00:42:17.300 --> 00:42:17.519
 it

00:42:17.519 --> 00:42:18.219
 but he

00:42:18.219 --> 00:42:18.820
 also

00:42:18.820 --> 00:42:20.159
 experiences

00:42:20.159 --> 00:42:22.000
 rejection

00:42:22.000 --> 00:42:24.300
 and dishonour

00:42:24.300 --> 00:42:25.360
 and disgrace

00:42:25.360 --> 00:42:26.300
 and mocking

00:42:26.300 --> 00:42:27.860
 and shame

00:42:27.860 --> 00:42:30.680
 and that's

00:42:30.680 --> 00:42:31.240
 part of the

00:42:31.240 --> 00:42:31.760
 good news

00:42:31.760 --> 00:42:32.039
 of the

00:42:32.039 --> 00:42:32.539
 gospel

00:42:32.539 --> 00:42:33.980
 because we

00:42:33.980 --> 00:42:34.960
 live in a

00:42:34.960 --> 00:42:35.820
 world where

00:42:35.820 --> 00:42:36.620
 people

00:42:36.620 --> 00:42:37.660
 sometimes

00:42:37.660 --> 00:42:38.460
 rightly

00:42:38.460 --> 00:42:40.140
 feel shame

00:42:40.140 --> 00:42:41.660
 and sometimes

00:42:41.660 --> 00:42:42.900
 wrongly

00:42:42.900 --> 00:42:43.880
 are drowning

00:42:43.880 --> 00:42:44.640
 in shame

00:42:44.640 --> 00:42:46.300
 when objective

00:42:46.300 --> 00:42:47.300
 truth says

00:42:47.300 --> 00:42:48.300
 you are a

00:42:48.300 --> 00:42:49.440
 child of God

00:42:49.440 --> 00:42:50.160
 you have peace

00:42:50.160 --> 00:42:50.640
 with God

00:42:50.640 --> 00:42:51.300
 you have

00:42:51.300 --> 00:42:52.380
 been forgiven

00:42:52.380 --> 00:42:53.320
 Jesus has

00:42:53.320 --> 00:42:53.900
 died for

00:42:53.900 --> 00:42:54.420
 your sins

00:42:54.420 --> 00:42:54.780
 he has

00:42:54.780 --> 00:42:55.300
 paid for

00:42:55.300 --> 00:42:55.860
 your sins

00:42:55.860 --> 00:42:56.940
 and still

00:42:56.940 --> 00:42:58.160
 whether it's

00:42:58.160 --> 00:42:59.300
 the culture

00:42:59.300 --> 00:43:00.059
 you grew up

00:43:00.059 --> 00:43:00.300
 in

00:43:00.300 --> 00:43:01.280
 the home

00:43:01.280 --> 00:43:01.940
 you grew up

00:43:01.940 --> 00:43:02.180
 in

00:43:02.180 --> 00:43:02.980
 the way

00:43:02.980 --> 00:43:03.700
 you're wired

00:43:03.700 --> 00:43:04.420
 yourself

00:43:04.420 --> 00:43:05.619
 or people

00:43:05.619 --> 00:43:06.519
 around you

00:43:06.519 --> 00:43:07.420
 or the

00:43:07.420 --> 00:43:08.059
 work of

00:43:08.059 --> 00:43:08.480
 Satan

00:43:08.480 --> 00:43:10.240
 you believe

00:43:10.240 --> 00:43:10.960
 you are

00:43:10.960 --> 00:43:11.660
 worthless

00:43:11.660 --> 00:43:13.420
 you believe

00:43:13.420 --> 00:43:13.920
 you are

00:43:13.920 --> 00:43:14.680
 unloved

00:43:14.680 --> 00:43:15.440
 you believe

00:43:15.440 --> 00:43:16.000
 you are

00:43:16.000 --> 00:43:16.579
 rubbish

00:43:16.579 --> 00:43:19.119
 you are

00:43:19.119 --> 00:43:19.720
 ashamed

00:43:19.719 --> 00:43:22.779
 now the

00:43:22.779 --> 00:43:23.319
 cross

00:43:23.319 --> 00:43:25.319
 deals with

00:43:25.319 --> 00:43:25.980
 both

00:43:25.980 --> 00:43:26.859
 sin

00:43:26.859 --> 00:43:27.559
 guilt

00:43:27.559 --> 00:43:28.359
 and

00:43:28.359 --> 00:43:30.039
 shame

00:43:30.039 --> 00:43:32.919
 Hebrews 12

00:43:32.919 --> 00:43:34.439
 begins

00:43:34.439 --> 00:43:35.959
 let us run

00:43:35.959 --> 00:43:36.919
 with perseverance

00:43:36.919 --> 00:43:37.639
 the race

00:43:37.639 --> 00:43:38.359
 marked out

00:43:38.359 --> 00:43:38.959
 for us

00:43:38.959 --> 00:43:40.919
 fixing our

00:43:40.919 --> 00:43:42.000
 eyes on

00:43:42.000 --> 00:43:42.599
 Jesus

00:43:42.599 --> 00:43:44.519
 the pioneer

00:43:44.519 --> 00:43:45.980
 and

00:43:45.980 --> 00:43:47.119
 perfecter

00:43:47.119 --> 00:43:47.779
 of faith

00:43:47.780 --> 00:43:49.360
 for the

00:43:49.360 --> 00:43:50.460
 joy set

00:43:50.460 --> 00:43:51.220
 before him

00:43:51.220 --> 00:43:52.200
 he endured

00:43:52.200 --> 00:43:52.900
 the cross

00:43:52.900 --> 00:43:54.600
 scorning

00:43:54.600 --> 00:43:55.480
 its

00:43:55.480 --> 00:43:57.080
 shame

00:43:57.080 --> 00:43:58.760
 and

00:43:58.760 --> 00:43:59.740
 sat down

00:43:59.740 --> 00:44:01.180
 at the

00:44:01.180 --> 00:44:02.360
 right hand

00:44:02.360 --> 00:44:03.840
 of the

00:44:03.840 --> 00:44:04.420
 throne

00:44:04.420 --> 00:44:06.500
 of God

00:44:06.500 --> 00:44:09.980
 thank

00:44:09.980 --> 00:44:11.500
 the Lord

00:44:11.500 --> 00:44:11.880
 Jesus

00:44:11.880 --> 00:44:12.500
 Christ

00:44:12.500 --> 00:44:14.200
 that

00:44:14.200 --> 00:44:14.840
 God's

00:44:14.840 --> 00:44:15.160
 Son

00:44:15.159 --> 00:44:17.259
 was put

00:44:17.259 --> 00:44:18.179
 to shame

00:44:18.179 --> 00:44:20.619
 for your

00:44:20.619 --> 00:44:21.299
 salvation

00:44:21.299 --> 00:44:23.159
 and

00:44:23.159 --> 00:44:23.779
 his

00:44:23.779 --> 00:44:24.899
 disgrace

00:44:24.899 --> 00:44:26.719
 is

00:44:26.719 --> 00:44:27.079
 the

00:44:27.079 --> 00:44:27.960
 answer

00:44:27.960 --> 00:44:29.159
 to

00:44:29.159 --> 00:44:29.679
 any

00:44:29.679 --> 00:44:30.379
 shame

00:44:30.379 --> 00:44:31.559
 that is

00:44:31.559 --> 00:44:32.119
 crushing

00:44:32.119 --> 00:44:32.759
 you

00:44:32.759 --> 00:44:34.440
 today

00:44:34.440 --> 00:44:36.639
 that's

00:44:36.639 --> 00:44:37.059
 the first

00:44:37.059 --> 00:44:37.420
 thing

00:44:37.420 --> 00:44:38.000
 the Son

00:44:38.000 --> 00:44:38.460
 is put

00:44:38.460 --> 00:44:39.059
 to shame

00:44:39.059 --> 00:44:40.779
 the second

00:44:40.779 --> 00:44:41.259
 thing that

00:44:41.259 --> 00:44:41.719
 we have

00:44:41.719 --> 00:44:42.119
 here

00:44:42.119 --> 00:44:42.980
 is an

00:44:42.980 --> 00:44:43.899
 invitation

00:44:43.900 --> 00:44:44.720
 through the

00:44:44.720 --> 00:44:45.300
 gospel

00:44:45.300 --> 00:44:46.700
 to nail

00:44:46.700 --> 00:44:47.320
 your

00:44:47.320 --> 00:44:48.220
 shame

00:44:48.220 --> 00:44:50.000
 to the

00:44:50.000 --> 00:44:50.380
 tree

00:44:50.380 --> 00:44:52.579
 to nail

00:44:52.579 --> 00:44:53.019
 it

00:44:53.019 --> 00:44:54.680
 to his

00:44:54.680 --> 00:44:55.280
 cross

00:44:55.280 --> 00:44:57.260
 to his

00:44:57.260 --> 00:44:57.700
 tree

00:44:57.700 --> 00:45:00.840
 why do I

00:45:00.840 --> 00:45:01.660
 labor this

00:45:01.660 --> 00:45:02.480
 point about

00:45:02.480 --> 00:45:03.119
 shame

00:45:03.119 --> 00:45:05.220
 well

00:45:05.220 --> 00:45:08.400
 as the

00:45:08.400 --> 00:45:09.220
 soldiers

00:45:09.220 --> 00:45:10.340
 gamble over

00:45:10.340 --> 00:45:11.280
 his clothes

00:45:11.280 --> 00:45:13.760
 it

00:45:13.760 --> 00:45:14.280
 dawns

00:45:14.280 --> 00:45:14.800
 on us

00:45:14.800 --> 00:45:17.019
 that

00:45:17.019 --> 00:45:17.540
 Jesus

00:45:17.540 --> 00:45:18.480
 who was

00:45:18.480 --> 00:45:19.160
 forced to

00:45:19.160 --> 00:45:19.660
 carry

00:45:19.660 --> 00:45:20.660
 his

00:45:20.660 --> 00:45:21.360
 cross

00:45:21.360 --> 00:45:23.000
 probably

00:45:23.000 --> 00:45:23.620
 just the

00:45:23.620 --> 00:45:24.780
 beam across

00:45:24.780 --> 00:45:25.460
 his shoulders

00:45:25.460 --> 00:45:26.600
 to the

00:45:26.600 --> 00:45:27.060
 place of

00:45:27.060 --> 00:45:27.740
 execution

00:45:27.740 --> 00:45:30.460
 he was

00:45:30.460 --> 00:45:31.100
 stripped

00:45:31.100 --> 00:45:32.820
 naked

00:45:32.820 --> 00:45:34.880
 before he

00:45:34.880 --> 00:45:35.340
 was nailed

00:45:35.340 --> 00:45:35.720
 to the

00:45:35.720 --> 00:45:36.160
 cross

00:45:36.159 --> 00:45:40.139
 to be

00:45:40.139 --> 00:45:41.339
 in pain

00:45:41.339 --> 00:45:42.239
 and to

00:45:42.239 --> 00:45:43.239
 be mocked

00:45:43.239 --> 00:45:43.839
 and to

00:45:43.839 --> 00:45:44.599
 be facing

00:45:44.599 --> 00:45:45.440
 death in

00:45:45.440 --> 00:45:45.819
 the next

00:45:45.819 --> 00:45:46.719
 few hours

00:45:46.719 --> 00:45:47.480
 or minutes

00:45:47.480 --> 00:45:48.399
 is bad

00:45:48.399 --> 00:45:51.239
 don't you

00:45:51.239 --> 00:45:52.019
 think to

00:45:52.019 --> 00:45:52.699
 face all

00:45:52.699 --> 00:45:53.259
 that

00:45:53.259 --> 00:45:55.460
 absolutely

00:45:55.460 --> 00:45:56.159
 naked

00:45:56.159 --> 00:45:57.879
 is even

00:45:57.879 --> 00:45:58.299
 worse

00:45:58.299 --> 00:46:00.699
 in terms

00:46:00.699 --> 00:46:01.699
 of shame

00:46:01.699 --> 00:46:05.639
 there's

00:46:05.639 --> 00:46:06.159
 something that

00:46:06.159 --> 00:46:06.859
 Don Carson

00:46:06.859 --> 00:46:07.619
 says in

00:46:07.619 --> 00:46:08.319
 his writings

00:46:08.319 --> 00:46:08.899
 about the

00:46:08.899 --> 00:46:09.480
 cross and

00:46:09.480 --> 00:46:10.179
 on John's

00:46:10.179 --> 00:46:10.859
 gospel that

00:46:10.859 --> 00:46:11.699
 is worth

00:46:11.699 --> 00:46:12.199
 quoting

00:46:12.199 --> 00:46:12.960
 Carson

00:46:12.960 --> 00:46:13.439
 says in

00:46:13.439 --> 00:46:13.879
 the ancient

00:46:13.879 --> 00:46:14.739
 world this

00:46:14.739 --> 00:46:15.559
 most terrible

00:46:15.559 --> 00:46:16.460
 of punishments

00:46:16.460 --> 00:46:17.339
 is always

00:46:17.339 --> 00:46:18.379
 associated

00:46:18.379 --> 00:46:19.980
 with shame

00:46:19.980 --> 00:46:21.139
 and

00:46:21.139 --> 00:46:22.179
 horror

00:46:22.179 --> 00:46:24.579
 it is

00:46:24.579 --> 00:46:25.419
 predicted of

00:46:25.419 --> 00:46:26.599
 course in

00:46:26.599 --> 00:46:27.480
 prophecy in

00:46:27.480 --> 00:46:27.819
 the Old

00:46:27.819 --> 00:46:28.739
 Testament in

00:46:28.739 --> 00:46:29.599
 scriptures like

00:46:29.599 --> 00:46:30.799
 Psalm 22

00:46:30.800 --> 00:46:31.420
 which we

00:46:31.420 --> 00:46:32.039
 sang from

00:46:32.039 --> 00:46:32.420
 a few

00:46:32.420 --> 00:46:33.200
 minutes ago

00:46:33.200 --> 00:46:34.760
 a thousand

00:46:34.760 --> 00:46:35.700
 years before

00:46:35.700 --> 00:46:36.539
 Jesus was

00:46:36.539 --> 00:46:37.180
 placed on

00:46:37.180 --> 00:46:37.760
 the cross

00:46:37.760 --> 00:46:39.120
 in fulfillment

00:46:39.120 --> 00:46:41.080
 David had

00:46:41.080 --> 00:46:42.340
 tasted shame

00:46:42.340 --> 00:46:44.180
 and David

00:46:44.180 --> 00:46:45.060
 understood

00:46:45.060 --> 00:46:47.120
 that God

00:46:47.120 --> 00:46:47.780
 and God

00:46:47.780 --> 00:46:48.660
 alone can

00:46:48.660 --> 00:46:50.080
 lift shame

00:46:50.080 --> 00:46:51.019
 from the

00:46:51.019 --> 00:46:51.840
 shoulders of

00:46:51.840 --> 00:46:52.600
 his people

00:46:52.600 --> 00:46:54.380
 but how

00:46:54.380 --> 00:46:55.860
 how would

00:46:55.860 --> 00:46:56.680
 God lift

00:46:56.680 --> 00:46:57.240
 shame

00:46:57.240 --> 00:46:58.519
 from his

00:46:58.519 --> 00:46:59.019
 people

00:46:59.019 --> 00:47:00.639
 how would

00:47:00.639 --> 00:47:00.980
 he do

00:47:00.980 --> 00:47:01.300
 it

00:47:01.300 --> 00:47:03.079
 if people

00:47:03.079 --> 00:47:04.059
 are oppressing

00:47:04.059 --> 00:47:05.259
 us by

00:47:05.259 --> 00:47:05.960
 trying to

00:47:05.960 --> 00:47:06.280
 give us

00:47:06.280 --> 00:47:07.099
 inappropriate

00:47:07.099 --> 00:47:07.860
 shame

00:47:07.860 --> 00:47:09.259
 maybe

00:47:09.259 --> 00:47:10.579
 legalism

00:47:10.579 --> 00:47:10.980
 sometimes

00:47:10.980 --> 00:47:11.659
 tries to

00:47:11.659 --> 00:47:12.199
 do that

00:47:12.199 --> 00:47:13.259
 rules that

00:47:13.259 --> 00:47:13.960
 don't come

00:47:13.960 --> 00:47:14.780
 with any

00:47:14.780 --> 00:47:15.900
 good sense

00:47:15.900 --> 00:47:16.159
 and they

00:47:16.159 --> 00:47:16.920
 don't come

00:47:16.920 --> 00:47:17.759
 with the

00:47:17.759 --> 00:47:18.099
 word of

00:47:18.099 --> 00:47:18.880
 God behind

00:47:18.880 --> 00:47:19.059
 them

00:47:19.059 --> 00:47:20.099
 expectations

00:47:20.099 --> 00:47:21.219
 that are

00:47:21.219 --> 00:47:22.079
 beyond

00:47:22.079 --> 00:47:22.619
 human

00:47:22.619 --> 00:47:23.360
 ability

00:47:23.360 --> 00:47:26.099
 Jesus

00:47:26.099 --> 00:47:26.760
 met people

00:47:26.760 --> 00:47:27.300
 like that

00:47:27.300 --> 00:47:28.000
 the Pharisees

00:47:28.000 --> 00:47:28.460
 of old

00:47:28.460 --> 00:47:29.579
 were experts

00:47:29.579 --> 00:47:30.480
 at spreading

00:47:30.480 --> 00:47:31.860
 illegitimate

00:47:31.860 --> 00:47:32.539
 shame

00:47:32.539 --> 00:47:35.240
 are you

00:47:35.240 --> 00:47:35.800
 washing your

00:47:35.800 --> 00:47:36.539
 hands the

00:47:36.539 --> 00:47:37.300
 right way

00:47:37.300 --> 00:47:38.480
 when your

00:47:38.480 --> 00:47:39.519
 disciples feed

00:47:39.519 --> 00:47:40.200
 themselves in

00:47:40.200 --> 00:47:40.780
 the fields

00:47:40.780 --> 00:47:41.440
 with the

00:47:41.440 --> 00:47:42.000
 heads of

00:47:42.000 --> 00:47:44.039
 the corn

00:47:44.039 --> 00:47:44.980
 are they

00:47:44.980 --> 00:47:45.599
 breaking the

00:47:45.599 --> 00:47:46.039
 Sabbath

00:47:46.039 --> 00:47:50.200
 it's

00:47:50.200 --> 00:47:50.640
 nonsense

00:47:50.640 --> 00:47:51.480
 of course

00:47:51.480 --> 00:47:54.219
 but I'm

00:47:54.219 --> 00:47:54.840
 sure if

00:47:54.840 --> 00:47:55.920
 you are

00:47:55.920 --> 00:47:56.760
 accused

00:47:56.760 --> 00:47:57.260
 of

00:47:57.260 --> 00:47:58.059
 breaking

00:47:58.059 --> 00:47:58.599
 some

00:47:58.599 --> 00:47:59.519
 man-made

00:47:59.519 --> 00:48:00.280
 taboo

00:48:00.280 --> 00:48:01.659
 even if

00:48:01.659 --> 00:48:02.280
 you know

00:48:02.280 --> 00:48:02.780
 with your

00:48:02.780 --> 00:48:03.360
 head

00:48:03.360 --> 00:48:05.079
 that's

00:48:05.079 --> 00:48:05.639
 ridiculous

00:48:05.639 --> 00:48:07.900
 it's very

00:48:07.900 --> 00:48:08.500
 hard not

00:48:08.500 --> 00:48:08.860
 to feel

00:48:08.860 --> 00:48:09.340
 shame

00:48:09.340 --> 00:48:11.440
 we are

00:48:11.440 --> 00:48:12.199
 experts

00:48:12.199 --> 00:48:13.320
 we humans

00:48:13.320 --> 00:48:14.619
 at ignoring

00:48:14.619 --> 00:48:15.699
 real sin

00:48:15.699 --> 00:48:16.260
 and things

00:48:16.260 --> 00:48:16.800
 that stink

00:48:16.800 --> 00:48:17.579
 before God

00:48:17.579 --> 00:48:18.219
 and making

00:48:18.219 --> 00:48:18.760
 a great

00:48:18.760 --> 00:48:19.420
 fuss about

00:48:19.420 --> 00:48:19.920
 things that

00:48:19.920 --> 00:48:20.619
 don't matter

00:48:20.619 --> 00:48:22.880
 well we

00:48:22.880 --> 00:48:23.199
 need to

00:48:23.199 --> 00:48:23.639
 repent

00:48:23.639 --> 00:48:24.679
 of that

00:48:24.679 --> 00:48:26.699
 and nail

00:48:26.699 --> 00:48:27.319
 it to

00:48:27.319 --> 00:48:28.460
 his cross

00:48:28.460 --> 00:48:30.380
 and we

00:48:30.380 --> 00:48:30.759
 need to

00:48:30.759 --> 00:48:31.420
 care about

00:48:31.420 --> 00:48:32.420
 real holiness

00:48:32.420 --> 00:48:33.900
 and God's

00:48:33.900 --> 00:48:34.359
 glory

00:48:34.359 --> 00:48:35.599
 and God's

00:48:35.599 --> 00:48:35.920
 name

00:48:35.920 --> 00:48:36.639
 and the

00:48:36.639 --> 00:48:37.400
 great name

00:48:37.400 --> 00:48:37.799
 of God

00:48:37.799 --> 00:48:38.639
 being lifted

00:48:38.639 --> 00:48:39.460
 up high

00:48:39.460 --> 00:48:40.400
 where it is

00:48:40.400 --> 00:48:41.199
 not known

00:48:41.199 --> 00:48:42.039
 or where it's

00:48:42.039 --> 00:48:42.739
 lying in the

00:48:42.739 --> 00:48:43.279
 gutter

00:48:43.279 --> 00:48:45.880
 and not

00:48:45.880 --> 00:48:46.799
 just care

00:48:46.799 --> 00:48:47.839
 about my

00:48:47.839 --> 00:48:48.239
 name

00:48:48.239 --> 00:48:49.079
 or your

00:48:49.079 --> 00:48:49.480
 name

00:48:49.480 --> 00:48:50.400
 or the

00:48:50.400 --> 00:48:51.139
 things that

00:48:51.139 --> 00:48:52.599
 seem

00:48:52.599 --> 00:48:54.400
 more important

00:48:54.400 --> 00:48:58.400
 in my

00:48:58.400 --> 00:48:58.840
 kitchen

00:48:58.840 --> 00:49:00.519
 and probably

00:49:00.519 --> 00:49:01.300
 in yours

00:49:01.300 --> 00:49:03.559
 there is

00:49:03.559 --> 00:49:04.760
 a smoke

00:49:04.760 --> 00:49:05.340
 detector

00:49:05.340 --> 00:49:07.179
 nowadays

00:49:07.179 --> 00:49:07.900
 these things

00:49:07.900 --> 00:49:08.159
 are

00:49:08.159 --> 00:49:09.740
 very clever

00:49:09.740 --> 00:49:11.019
 they're often

00:49:11.019 --> 00:49:11.780
 wired into

00:49:11.780 --> 00:49:12.340
 the mains

00:49:12.340 --> 00:49:13.340
 or they're

00:49:13.340 --> 00:49:13.980
 linked to

00:49:13.980 --> 00:49:15.119
 other smoke

00:49:15.119 --> 00:49:15.659
 detectors

00:49:15.659 --> 00:49:16.360
 and carbon

00:49:16.360 --> 00:49:17.619
 monoxide detectors

00:49:17.619 --> 00:49:18.019
 in the

00:49:18.019 --> 00:49:18.380
 house

00:49:18.380 --> 00:49:20.500
 and they

00:49:20.500 --> 00:49:21.279
 make a racket

00:49:21.279 --> 00:49:22.079
 if they go

00:49:22.079 --> 00:49:22.400
 off

00:49:22.400 --> 00:49:23.099
 so if you

00:49:23.099 --> 00:49:23.839
 burn your

00:49:23.839 --> 00:49:24.299
 breakfast

00:49:24.299 --> 00:49:24.940
 burn your

00:49:24.940 --> 00:49:25.359
 toast

00:49:25.359 --> 00:49:26.219
 the whole

00:49:26.219 --> 00:49:27.039
 street knows

00:49:27.039 --> 00:49:27.699
 about it

00:49:27.699 --> 00:49:29.480
 and you

00:49:29.480 --> 00:49:30.359
 probably have

00:49:30.359 --> 00:49:30.960
 been like me

00:49:30.960 --> 00:49:31.699
 many a time

00:49:31.699 --> 00:49:32.480
 standing on a

00:49:32.480 --> 00:49:33.259
 kitchen chair

00:49:33.259 --> 00:49:34.719
 waving a

00:49:34.719 --> 00:49:35.799
 copy of a

00:49:35.799 --> 00:49:36.480
 magazine or

00:49:36.480 --> 00:49:36.960
 something

00:49:36.960 --> 00:49:37.759
 furiously

00:49:37.759 --> 00:49:38.779
 trying to get

00:49:38.779 --> 00:49:39.539
 fresh air

00:49:39.539 --> 00:49:40.319
 at one of

00:49:40.319 --> 00:49:41.119
 these detectors

00:49:41.119 --> 00:49:42.219
 that has taken

00:49:42.219 --> 00:49:43.000
 a dislike

00:49:43.000 --> 00:49:44.579
 to the way

00:49:44.579 --> 00:49:45.139
 you made

00:49:45.139 --> 00:49:46.119
 the breakfast

00:49:46.119 --> 00:49:50.519
 these machines

00:49:50.519 --> 00:49:53.000
 are giving

00:49:53.000 --> 00:49:53.619
 a warning

00:49:53.619 --> 00:49:56.539
 and often

00:49:56.539 --> 00:49:57.000
 it's a

00:49:57.000 --> 00:49:57.480
 piercing

00:49:57.480 --> 00:49:58.679
 warning

00:49:58.679 --> 00:50:02.539
 and God

00:50:02.539 --> 00:50:03.760
 gave us

00:50:03.760 --> 00:50:04.900
 shame

00:50:04.900 --> 00:50:10.679
 to help

00:50:10.679 --> 00:50:11.079
 us

00:50:11.079 --> 00:50:14.259
 to hear

00:50:14.259 --> 00:50:15.000
 the warning

00:50:15.000 --> 00:50:17.679
 so that

00:50:17.679 --> 00:50:18.119
 when the

00:50:18.119 --> 00:50:18.980
 warning of

00:50:18.980 --> 00:50:19.559
 shame

00:50:19.559 --> 00:50:20.379
 goes off

00:50:20.379 --> 00:50:20.879
 like an

00:50:20.879 --> 00:50:21.379
 alarm

00:50:21.379 --> 00:50:25.139
 it says

00:50:25.139 --> 00:50:25.799
 to us

00:50:25.799 --> 00:50:29.239
 am I

00:50:29.239 --> 00:50:30.440
 dishonoring

00:50:30.440 --> 00:50:31.719
 God

00:50:31.719 --> 00:50:35.799
 what can I

00:50:35.799 --> 00:50:36.299
 do about

00:50:36.299 --> 00:50:36.579
 it

00:50:36.579 --> 00:50:38.799
 am I

00:50:38.799 --> 00:50:39.480
 drifting

00:50:39.480 --> 00:50:40.420
 into sin

00:50:40.420 --> 00:50:41.380
 what can I

00:50:41.380 --> 00:50:41.860
 do about

00:50:41.860 --> 00:50:42.159
 it

00:50:42.159 --> 00:50:43.380
 am I

00:50:43.380 --> 00:50:43.900
 heading

00:50:43.900 --> 00:50:44.420
 away

00:50:44.420 --> 00:50:45.619
 from joy

00:50:45.619 --> 00:50:46.559
 and glory

00:50:46.559 --> 00:50:47.699
 and salvation

00:50:47.699 --> 00:50:48.860
 and towards

00:50:48.860 --> 00:50:49.619
 the jaws

00:50:49.619 --> 00:50:50.199
 of death

00:50:50.199 --> 00:50:50.740
 and hell

00:50:50.740 --> 00:50:51.340
 am I

00:50:51.340 --> 00:50:51.920
 pleasing

00:50:51.920 --> 00:50:52.599
 God

00:50:52.599 --> 00:50:53.280
 or pleasing

00:50:53.280 --> 00:50:53.840
 Satan

00:50:53.840 --> 00:50:55.199
 and sometimes

00:50:55.199 --> 00:50:56.079
 the alarm

00:50:56.079 --> 00:50:56.900
 is blaring

00:50:56.900 --> 00:50:57.920
 and there

00:50:57.920 --> 00:50:58.380
 is no

00:50:58.380 --> 00:50:58.960
 fire

00:50:58.960 --> 00:51:00.900
 because our

00:51:00.900 --> 00:51:01.880
 heart

00:51:01.880 --> 00:51:02.699
 and mind

00:51:02.699 --> 00:51:03.940
 has gone

00:51:03.940 --> 00:51:04.679
 wrong

00:51:04.679 --> 00:51:06.539
 and we're

00:51:06.539 --> 00:51:07.559
 feeling shame

00:51:07.559 --> 00:51:08.679
 when we

00:51:08.679 --> 00:51:09.480
 shouldn't

00:51:09.480 --> 00:51:13.759
 I

00:51:13.759 --> 00:51:14.419
 could never

00:51:14.419 --> 00:51:15.019
 sit at the

00:51:15.019 --> 00:51:15.399
 Lord's

00:51:15.399 --> 00:51:15.759
 table

00:51:15.759 --> 00:51:16.579
 because

00:51:16.579 --> 00:51:17.539
 well

00:51:17.539 --> 00:51:18.000
 whatever

00:51:18.000 --> 00:51:18.940
 comes next

00:51:18.940 --> 00:51:19.339
 in the

00:51:19.339 --> 00:51:19.960
 sentence

00:51:19.960 --> 00:51:23.219
 is rubbish

00:51:23.219 --> 00:51:26.039
 if you

00:51:26.039 --> 00:51:26.639
 have been

00:51:26.639 --> 00:51:27.259
 forgiven

00:51:27.259 --> 00:51:28.399
 your sins

00:51:28.399 --> 00:51:30.299
 because of

00:51:30.299 --> 00:51:30.699
 Christ

00:51:30.699 --> 00:51:31.179
 and his

00:51:31.179 --> 00:51:31.719
 cross

00:51:31.719 --> 00:51:34.480
 if you

00:51:34.480 --> 00:51:35.419
 have confessed

00:51:35.419 --> 00:51:36.259
 your sins

00:51:36.260 --> 00:51:37.020
 then the

00:51:37.020 --> 00:51:37.540
 blood of

00:51:37.540 --> 00:51:37.860
 Jesus

00:51:37.860 --> 00:51:38.400
 Christ

00:51:38.400 --> 00:51:38.960
 God's

00:51:38.960 --> 00:51:39.300
 son

00:51:39.300 --> 00:51:41.140
 cleanses

00:51:41.140 --> 00:51:41.680
 us

00:51:41.680 --> 00:51:43.400
 from all

00:51:43.400 --> 00:51:43.760
 sin

00:51:43.760 --> 00:51:45.060
 and if the

00:51:45.060 --> 00:51:45.500
 devil

00:51:45.500 --> 00:51:46.920
 has caused

00:51:46.920 --> 00:51:47.680
 the alarm

00:51:47.680 --> 00:51:48.300
 to start

00:51:48.300 --> 00:51:48.940
 sounding

00:51:48.940 --> 00:51:49.860
 of shame

00:51:49.860 --> 00:51:52.080
 we check

00:51:52.080 --> 00:51:53.020
 is this

00:51:53.020 --> 00:51:53.560
 alarm

00:51:53.560 --> 00:51:54.240
 right

00:51:54.240 --> 00:51:56.060
 or is it

00:51:56.060 --> 00:51:56.740
 a false

00:51:56.740 --> 00:51:57.420
 alarm

00:51:57.420 --> 00:51:58.940
 but in

00:51:58.940 --> 00:51:59.640
 either

00:51:59.640 --> 00:52:00.480
 case

00:52:00.480 --> 00:52:03.159
 we flee

00:52:03.159 --> 00:52:03.579
 to the

00:52:03.579 --> 00:52:03.900
 cross

00:52:03.900 --> 00:52:04.539
 of Jesus

00:52:04.539 --> 00:52:06.480
 and if

00:52:06.480 --> 00:52:07.199
 fear

00:52:07.199 --> 00:52:08.400
 or guilt

00:52:08.400 --> 00:52:09.440
 or shame

00:52:09.440 --> 00:52:11.000
 is illegitimate

00:52:11.000 --> 00:52:12.980
 we speak

00:52:12.980 --> 00:52:13.519
 to Jesus

00:52:13.519 --> 00:52:14.159
 about it

00:52:14.159 --> 00:52:14.500
 and we

00:52:14.500 --> 00:52:14.960
 say I

00:52:14.960 --> 00:52:15.599
 feel so

00:52:15.599 --> 00:52:15.920
 weak

00:52:15.920 --> 00:52:16.380
 I feel

00:52:16.380 --> 00:52:17.000
 so useless

00:52:17.000 --> 00:52:17.639
 I feel

00:52:17.639 --> 00:52:18.460
 such shame

00:52:18.460 --> 00:52:21.400
 help me

00:52:21.400 --> 00:52:23.719
 to nail

00:52:23.719 --> 00:52:24.019
 it to

00:52:24.019 --> 00:52:24.599
 your tree

00:52:24.599 --> 00:52:26.740
 and if

00:52:26.740 --> 00:52:27.400
 we discover

00:52:27.400 --> 00:52:27.800
 that the

00:52:27.800 --> 00:52:28.340
 alarm is

00:52:28.340 --> 00:52:29.119
 quite right

00:52:29.119 --> 00:52:29.819
 to be going

00:52:29.819 --> 00:52:30.219
 off

00:52:30.219 --> 00:52:30.940
 and that

00:52:30.940 --> 00:52:31.539
 we are

00:52:31.539 --> 00:52:32.239
 a terrible

00:52:32.239 --> 00:52:32.679
 woman

00:52:32.679 --> 00:52:33.359
 a terrible

00:52:33.359 --> 00:52:33.900
 man

00:52:33.900 --> 00:52:34.940
 a wicked

00:52:34.940 --> 00:52:35.359
 woman

00:52:35.359 --> 00:52:35.980
 a wicked

00:52:35.980 --> 00:52:36.559
 man

00:52:36.559 --> 00:52:39.299
 then the

00:52:39.299 --> 00:52:40.139
 gospel is

00:52:40.139 --> 00:52:41.000
 for us

00:52:41.000 --> 00:52:44.059
 and the

00:52:44.059 --> 00:52:44.579
 gospel

00:52:44.579 --> 00:52:45.699
 is the

00:52:45.699 --> 00:52:46.339
 gospel of

00:52:46.339 --> 00:52:47.179
 John chapter

00:52:47.179 --> 00:52:47.599
 1

00:52:47.599 --> 00:52:48.500
 behold the

00:52:48.500 --> 00:52:48.859
 Lamb of

00:52:48.859 --> 00:52:49.239
 God

00:52:49.239 --> 00:52:50.099
 who takes

00:52:50.099 --> 00:52:51.199
 away the

00:52:51.199 --> 00:52:51.759
 sins of

00:52:51.759 --> 00:52:52.299
 the world

00:52:52.299 --> 00:52:54.159
 and the

00:52:54.159 --> 00:52:54.759
 gospel is

00:52:54.759 --> 00:52:55.420
 the gospel

00:52:55.420 --> 00:52:56.400
 where the

00:52:56.400 --> 00:52:56.940
 grain of

00:52:56.940 --> 00:52:57.639
 wheat falls

00:52:57.639 --> 00:52:58.159
 into the

00:52:58.159 --> 00:52:58.480
 ground

00:52:58.480 --> 00:52:58.840
 and it

00:52:58.840 --> 00:52:59.559
 dies

00:52:59.559 --> 00:53:00.380
 and that

00:53:00.380 --> 00:53:01.000
 way there's

00:53:01.000 --> 00:53:01.440
 fruit

00:53:01.440 --> 00:53:02.139
 and you

00:53:02.139 --> 00:53:02.500
 are the

00:53:02.500 --> 00:53:02.860
 fruit

00:53:02.860 --> 00:53:04.320
 he dies

00:53:04.320 --> 00:53:05.059
 so that

00:53:05.059 --> 00:53:05.480
 you will

00:53:05.480 --> 00:53:06.099
 be fruitful

00:53:06.099 --> 00:53:07.119
 not held

00:53:07.119 --> 00:53:07.800
 by guilt

00:53:07.800 --> 00:53:08.760
 not held

00:53:08.760 --> 00:53:09.500
 by shame

00:53:09.500 --> 00:53:10.519
 but because

00:53:10.519 --> 00:53:11.340
 of Christ

00:53:11.340 --> 00:53:12.519
 going forward

00:53:12.519 --> 00:53:13.139
 in the life

00:53:13.139 --> 00:53:13.659
 of faith

00:53:13.659 --> 00:53:14.900
 going forward

00:53:14.900 --> 00:53:15.579
 in Christian

00:53:15.579 --> 00:53:15.980
 growth

00:53:15.980 --> 00:53:17.280
 going forward

00:53:17.280 --> 00:53:18.179
 to live

00:53:18.179 --> 00:53:18.780
 for the

00:53:18.780 --> 00:53:19.719
 glory of

00:53:19.719 --> 00:53:20.280
 God

00:53:20.280 --> 00:53:23.500
 for most

00:53:23.500 --> 00:53:24.420
 of our

00:53:24.420 --> 00:53:24.900
 lives

00:53:24.900 --> 00:53:25.719
 we probably

00:53:25.719 --> 00:53:26.819
 have not

00:53:26.819 --> 00:53:27.399
 lived

00:53:27.399 --> 00:53:30.199
 in a

00:53:30.199 --> 00:53:30.659
 shame

00:53:30.659 --> 00:53:31.639
 kind of

00:53:31.639 --> 00:53:32.299
 culture

00:53:32.299 --> 00:53:33.439
 shame

00:53:33.439 --> 00:53:33.839
 on our

00:53:33.839 --> 00:53:34.219
 culture

00:53:34.219 --> 00:53:34.599
 like

00:53:34.599 --> 00:53:35.299
 India

00:53:35.299 --> 00:53:36.980
 or Japan

00:53:36.980 --> 00:53:38.519
 or much

00:53:38.519 --> 00:53:38.980
 of East

00:53:38.980 --> 00:53:39.439
 Asia

00:53:39.439 --> 00:53:39.959
 is a

00:53:39.959 --> 00:53:40.439
 shame

00:53:40.439 --> 00:53:41.679
 kind of

00:53:41.679 --> 00:53:42.179
 culture

00:53:42.179 --> 00:53:42.480
 you

00:53:42.480 --> 00:53:44.159
 you know

00:53:44.159 --> 00:53:45.459
 even Christians

00:53:45.459 --> 00:53:46.379
 in in

00:53:46.379 --> 00:53:47.119
 Southeast Asia

00:53:47.119 --> 00:53:47.759
 will often

00:53:47.759 --> 00:53:48.699
 really struggle

00:53:48.699 --> 00:53:49.959
 to be honest

00:53:49.960 --> 00:53:50.500
 with each

00:53:50.500 --> 00:53:50.920
 other

00:53:50.920 --> 00:53:52.740
 about a

00:53:52.740 --> 00:53:53.240
 problem

00:53:53.240 --> 00:53:54.860
 they'll

00:53:54.860 --> 00:53:55.300
 struggle

00:53:55.300 --> 00:53:56.300
 to speak

00:53:56.300 --> 00:53:56.840
 honestly

00:53:56.840 --> 00:53:57.960
 and say

00:53:57.960 --> 00:53:58.820
 that's

00:53:58.820 --> 00:53:59.880
 a root

00:53:59.880 --> 00:54:00.380
 of bitterness

00:54:00.380 --> 00:54:00.900
 that's

00:54:00.900 --> 00:54:01.260
 caused

00:54:01.260 --> 00:54:01.760
 offence

00:54:01.760 --> 00:54:02.099
 we need

00:54:02.099 --> 00:54:03.639
 to discuss

00:54:03.639 --> 00:54:04.179
 this

00:54:04.179 --> 00:54:05.139
 sort it

00:54:05.139 --> 00:54:05.420
 out

00:54:05.420 --> 00:54:05.840
 weep

00:54:05.840 --> 00:54:06.340
 over it

00:54:06.340 --> 00:54:07.039
 and then

00:54:07.039 --> 00:54:07.699
 make up

00:54:07.699 --> 00:54:08.480
 and love

00:54:08.480 --> 00:54:09.039
 one another

00:54:09.039 --> 00:54:09.519
 and move

00:54:09.519 --> 00:54:09.940
 forward

00:54:09.940 --> 00:54:11.340
 in Asia

00:54:11.340 --> 00:54:11.880
 very often

00:54:11.880 --> 00:54:12.340
 Christians

00:54:12.340 --> 00:54:12.740
 they don't

00:54:12.740 --> 00:54:13.139
 do that

00:54:13.139 --> 00:54:13.460
 because

00:54:13.460 --> 00:54:14.179
 their culture

00:54:14.179 --> 00:54:14.920
 says

00:54:14.920 --> 00:54:16.260
 you can't

00:54:16.260 --> 00:54:17.320
 be embarrassed

00:54:17.320 --> 00:54:18.159
 and you can't

00:54:18.159 --> 00:54:18.639
 embarrass

00:54:18.639 --> 00:54:19.579
 anybody else

00:54:19.579 --> 00:54:20.239
 so we'll

00:54:20.239 --> 00:54:20.900
 just ignore

00:54:20.900 --> 00:54:21.199
 it

00:54:21.199 --> 00:54:22.019
 and avoid

00:54:22.019 --> 00:54:22.480
 each other

00:54:22.480 --> 00:54:23.019
 for the rest

00:54:23.019 --> 00:54:23.779
 of our lives

00:54:23.779 --> 00:54:26.099
 that is not

00:54:26.099 --> 00:54:26.659
 the gospel

00:54:26.659 --> 00:54:27.099
 way

00:54:27.099 --> 00:54:29.819
 the gospel

00:54:29.819 --> 00:54:30.299
 way

00:54:30.299 --> 00:54:31.539
 is to go

00:54:31.539 --> 00:54:32.679
 to the cross

00:54:32.679 --> 00:54:34.299
 with guilt

00:54:34.299 --> 00:54:36.119
 and

00:54:36.119 --> 00:54:36.920
 to go

00:54:36.920 --> 00:54:37.799
 to the cross

00:54:37.799 --> 00:54:39.619
 with shame

00:54:39.619 --> 00:54:41.279
 legitimate

00:54:41.279 --> 00:54:43.000
 or illegitimate

00:54:43.000 --> 00:54:43.539
 shame

00:54:43.539 --> 00:54:45.420
 it needs

00:54:45.420 --> 00:54:46.139
 to be nailed

00:54:46.139 --> 00:54:46.980
 to the tree

00:54:46.980 --> 00:54:48.940
 for he

00:54:48.940 --> 00:54:49.720
 tasted

00:54:49.720 --> 00:54:50.679
 shame

00:54:50.679 --> 00:54:51.800
 and death

00:54:51.800 --> 00:54:54.179
 to take

00:54:54.179 --> 00:54:54.900
 that bitter

00:54:54.900 --> 00:54:55.480
 taste

00:54:55.480 --> 00:54:56.119
 away

00:54:56.119 --> 00:54:57.740
 from his

00:54:57.740 --> 00:54:58.200
 people

00:54:58.200 --> 00:55:00.800
 he does

00:55:00.800 --> 00:55:01.400
 not want

00:55:01.400 --> 00:55:01.780
 you

00:55:01.780 --> 00:55:03.240
 burdened

00:55:03.240 --> 00:55:03.920
 by shame

00:55:03.920 --> 00:55:05.099
 paralyzed

00:55:05.099 --> 00:55:05.840
 by the

00:55:05.840 --> 00:55:06.460
 past

00:55:06.460 --> 00:55:08.460
 if you

00:55:08.460 --> 00:55:08.720
 are

00:55:08.720 --> 00:55:10.220
 part of

00:55:10.220 --> 00:55:10.740
 this modern

00:55:10.740 --> 00:55:11.220
 world

00:55:11.220 --> 00:55:12.280
 of technology

00:55:12.280 --> 00:55:12.900
 and social

00:55:12.900 --> 00:55:13.280
 media

00:55:13.280 --> 00:55:14.340
 then

00:55:14.340 --> 00:55:15.519
 it is

00:55:15.519 --> 00:55:16.360
 doubly

00:55:16.360 --> 00:55:16.960
 hard

00:55:16.960 --> 00:55:17.519
 for us

00:55:17.519 --> 00:55:17.940
 today

00:55:17.940 --> 00:55:19.720
 to avoid

00:55:19.720 --> 00:55:20.540
 the idea

00:55:20.540 --> 00:55:21.920
 that everybody

00:55:21.920 --> 00:55:22.760
 else has a

00:55:22.760 --> 00:55:23.660
 wonderful life

00:55:23.660 --> 00:55:24.480
 and a rosy

00:55:24.480 --> 00:55:24.920
 life

00:55:24.920 --> 00:55:26.140
 and they're

00:55:26.140 --> 00:55:27.300
 all doing

00:55:27.300 --> 00:55:28.540
 wonderful things

00:55:28.540 --> 00:55:29.440
 and we

00:55:29.440 --> 00:55:30.460
 may feel

00:55:30.460 --> 00:55:31.640
 that that's

00:55:31.640 --> 00:55:32.060
 not

00:55:32.060 --> 00:55:33.080
 us

00:55:33.079 --> 00:55:35.799
 and it's

00:55:35.799 --> 00:55:36.519
 very easy

00:55:36.519 --> 00:55:37.059
 in this

00:55:37.059 --> 00:55:38.340
 modern age

00:55:38.340 --> 00:55:39.779
 to believe

00:55:39.779 --> 00:55:40.340
 a lie

00:55:40.340 --> 00:55:42.219
 or to

00:55:42.219 --> 00:55:42.799
 spread a

00:55:42.799 --> 00:55:43.099
 lie

00:55:43.099 --> 00:55:44.980
 or to

00:55:44.980 --> 00:55:45.500
 tell a

00:55:45.500 --> 00:55:45.819
 lie

00:55:45.819 --> 00:55:47.739
 using

00:55:47.739 --> 00:55:48.539
 things like

00:55:48.539 --> 00:55:49.099
 Instagram

00:55:49.099 --> 00:55:51.199
 or Facebook

00:55:51.199 --> 00:55:55.340
 the cross

00:55:55.340 --> 00:55:56.259
 says

00:55:56.259 --> 00:55:58.239
 if these

00:55:58.239 --> 00:55:58.960
 things are

00:55:58.960 --> 00:55:59.639
 a problem

00:55:59.639 --> 00:56:00.599
 if these

00:56:00.599 --> 00:56:01.359
 things are

00:56:01.359 --> 00:56:02.099
 holding you

00:56:02.099 --> 00:56:02.639
 back

00:56:02.639 --> 00:56:03.739
 spiritually

00:56:03.739 --> 00:56:05.019
 from maturity

00:56:05.019 --> 00:56:06.199
 and peace

00:56:06.199 --> 00:56:07.259
 and love

00:56:07.259 --> 00:56:08.279
 and unity

00:56:08.279 --> 00:56:08.920
 with your

00:56:08.920 --> 00:56:09.400
 family

00:56:09.400 --> 00:56:10.039
 or with your

00:56:10.039 --> 00:56:10.639
 brothers and

00:56:10.639 --> 00:56:11.420
 sisters in the

00:56:11.420 --> 00:56:12.420
 Christian family

00:56:12.420 --> 00:56:13.420
 there's a

00:56:13.420 --> 00:56:13.859
 cross

00:56:13.859 --> 00:56:17.159
 take your

00:56:17.159 --> 00:56:18.119
 use of

00:56:18.119 --> 00:56:18.819
 time

00:56:18.819 --> 00:56:21.279
 and nail it

00:56:21.279 --> 00:56:21.779
 to the tree

00:56:21.779 --> 00:56:22.379
 take your

00:56:22.379 --> 00:56:23.839
 use of

00:56:23.839 --> 00:56:25.199
 social media

00:56:25.199 --> 00:56:25.940
 and nail it

00:56:25.940 --> 00:56:26.359
 to the tree

00:56:26.359 --> 00:56:27.179
 take your

00:56:27.179 --> 00:56:28.259
 use of

00:56:28.259 --> 00:56:29.319
 gossip

00:56:29.320 --> 00:56:30.500
 rumor

00:56:30.500 --> 00:56:31.519
 nail it

00:56:31.519 --> 00:56:32.820
 to the

00:56:32.820 --> 00:56:33.200
 tree

00:56:33.200 --> 00:56:36.019
 I heard a

00:56:36.019 --> 00:56:36.559
 testimony

00:56:36.559 --> 00:56:37.240
 about a

00:56:37.240 --> 00:56:37.800
 year ago

00:56:37.800 --> 00:56:38.960
 from a

00:56:38.960 --> 00:56:39.240
 lady

00:56:39.240 --> 00:56:41.039
 who came

00:56:41.039 --> 00:56:41.660
 forward

00:56:41.660 --> 00:56:43.559
 having lived

00:56:43.559 --> 00:56:44.500
 with shame

00:56:44.500 --> 00:56:46.380
 over a

00:56:46.380 --> 00:56:46.980
 serious

00:56:46.980 --> 00:56:47.700
 thing

00:56:47.700 --> 00:56:49.080
 from years

00:56:49.080 --> 00:56:49.760
 before

00:56:49.760 --> 00:56:51.400
 a thing

00:56:51.400 --> 00:56:52.360
 she regretted

00:56:52.360 --> 00:56:52.820
 and a thing

00:56:52.820 --> 00:56:53.220
 she was

00:56:53.220 --> 00:56:54.059
 forgiven for

00:56:54.059 --> 00:56:55.059
 but a thing

00:56:55.059 --> 00:56:55.559
 that was

00:56:55.559 --> 00:56:57.480
 many decades

00:56:57.480 --> 00:56:58.080
 in her

00:56:58.080 --> 00:56:58.700
 past

00:56:58.699 --> 00:57:00.039
 and yet

00:57:00.039 --> 00:57:00.359
 it had

00:57:00.359 --> 00:57:00.960
 held her

00:57:00.960 --> 00:57:01.719
 back for

00:57:01.719 --> 00:57:02.699
 such a

00:57:02.699 --> 00:57:03.399
 long time

00:57:03.399 --> 00:57:05.779
 and it

00:57:05.779 --> 00:57:06.339
 was the

00:57:06.339 --> 00:57:07.379
 gospel

00:57:07.379 --> 00:57:09.419
 Jesus

00:57:09.419 --> 00:57:10.079
 and his

00:57:10.079 --> 00:57:10.659
 cross

00:57:10.659 --> 00:57:12.599
 that enabled

00:57:12.599 --> 00:57:13.039
 her

00:57:13.039 --> 00:57:14.960
 to just

00:57:14.960 --> 00:57:15.579
 tell her

00:57:15.579 --> 00:57:16.219
 story

00:57:16.219 --> 00:57:18.119
 and by

00:57:18.119 --> 00:57:18.659
 taking a

00:57:18.659 --> 00:57:19.619
 little step

00:57:19.619 --> 00:57:20.779
 of faith

00:57:20.779 --> 00:57:22.379
 and commitment

00:57:22.380 --> 00:57:23.200
 and getting

00:57:23.200 --> 00:57:23.539
 a little

00:57:23.539 --> 00:57:24.480
 more involved

00:57:24.480 --> 00:57:24.780
 in the

00:57:24.780 --> 00:57:25.240
 life of

00:57:25.240 --> 00:57:25.680
 the local

00:57:25.680 --> 00:57:26.180
 church

00:57:26.180 --> 00:57:27.840
 now serving

00:57:27.840 --> 00:57:28.579
 so well

00:57:28.579 --> 00:57:29.280
 being a

00:57:29.280 --> 00:57:29.960
 blessing to

00:57:29.960 --> 00:57:30.380
 others

00:57:30.380 --> 00:57:30.820
 being an

00:57:30.820 --> 00:57:31.720
 encourager to

00:57:31.720 --> 00:57:32.039
 others

00:57:32.039 --> 00:57:33.160
 because what

00:57:33.160 --> 00:57:33.599
 happened to

00:57:33.599 --> 00:57:34.320
 that shame

00:57:34.320 --> 00:57:35.700
 that Satan

00:57:35.700 --> 00:57:36.539
 was really

00:57:36.539 --> 00:57:38.019
 happy for

00:57:38.019 --> 00:57:38.640
 her to live

00:57:38.640 --> 00:57:39.240
 under for

00:57:39.240 --> 00:57:40.119
 for 30

00:57:40.119 --> 00:57:40.559
 years

00:57:40.559 --> 00:57:41.519
 well it's

00:57:41.519 --> 00:57:42.119
 gone

00:57:42.119 --> 00:57:44.240
 Jesus

00:57:44.240 --> 00:57:46.380
 took it

00:57:46.380 --> 00:57:48.840
 Pilate put

00:57:48.840 --> 00:57:49.380
 a notice

00:57:49.380 --> 00:57:49.920
 above the

00:57:49.920 --> 00:57:50.300

00:57:54.820 --> 00:57:56.000
 in Latin

00:57:56.000 --> 00:57:57.220
 the language

 Greek

00:58:01.980 --> 00:58:02.559
 the common

00:58:02.559 --> 00:58:03.519
 language spoken

00:58:03.519 --> 00:58:04.160
 all around

00:58:04.160 --> 00:58:04.740
 the world

00:58:04.740 --> 00:58:06.000
 this is the

00:58:06.000 --> 00:58:06.800
 king of

00:58:06.800 --> 00:58:07.400
 the Jews

00:58:07.400 --> 00:58:11.440
 why did

00:58:11.440 --> 00:58:11.920
 he write

00:58:11.920 --> 00:58:12.240
 it

00:58:12.240 --> 00:58:15.700
 well

00:58:15.700 --> 00:58:16.440
 Pilate

00:58:16.440 --> 00:58:17.059
 had been

00:58:17.059 --> 00:58:17.700
 ashamed

00:58:17.700 --> 00:58:18.559
 and embarrassed

00:58:18.559 --> 00:58:19.700
 by Caiaphas

00:58:19.700 --> 00:58:20.240
 and his

00:58:20.240 --> 00:58:20.740
 chums

00:58:20.740 --> 00:58:22.360
 and he

00:58:22.360 --> 00:58:23.039
 I think

00:58:23.039 --> 00:58:23.539
 was trying

00:58:23.539 --> 00:58:24.059
 to annoy

00:58:24.059 --> 00:58:24.700
 the Jews

00:58:24.700 --> 00:58:25.780
 and mock

00:58:25.780 --> 00:58:26.260
 Jesus

00:58:26.260 --> 00:58:27.240
 and mock

00:58:27.240 --> 00:58:27.780
 those who

00:58:27.780 --> 00:58:28.820
 had Jesus

00:58:28.820 --> 00:58:29.380
 crucified

00:58:29.380 --> 00:58:30.160
 there's the

00:58:30.160 --> 00:58:30.400
 claim

00:58:30.400 --> 00:58:30.980
 there's your

00:58:30.980 --> 00:58:31.420
 king

00:58:31.420 --> 00:58:32.380
 no I won't

00:58:32.380 --> 00:58:32.940
 change the

00:58:32.940 --> 00:58:33.360
 notice

00:58:33.360 --> 00:58:34.599
 it's part

00:58:34.599 --> 00:58:35.500
 of shaming

00:58:35.500 --> 00:58:36.340
 shaming

00:58:36.340 --> 00:58:37.119
 everyone

00:58:37.119 --> 00:58:39.259
 but you

00:58:39.259 --> 00:58:39.940

00:58:39.940 --> 00:58:42.299

00:58:42.299 --> 00:58:42.980
 the king

00:58:42.980 --> 00:58:44.380
 he is

00:58:44.380 --> 00:58:44.960
 the king

00:58:44.960 --> 00:58:47.019
 and because

00:58:47.019 --> 00:58:47.539
 the king

00:58:47.539 --> 00:58:48.219
 died on

00:58:48.219 --> 00:58:49.019
 that cross

00:58:49.019 --> 00:58:51.659
 shame

00:58:51.659 --> 00:58:53.279
