00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.660
 Well, would you please turn with me in your Bibles back to that passage that we've read in Mark's Gospel, Mark chapter 15.

00:00:09.660 --> 00:00:21.699
 We're going to work through a fair part of this chapter tonight, so there's not any one specific verse to look at, just to consider some of the people that are recorded for us around the death of Jesus.

00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:29.859
 Let's bow our heads in prayer, though, before we begin. Heavenly Father, as we come to this great passage of Scripture,

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:35.820
 that we've already spent time in this morning, we pray, Father, for your blessing and wisdom to be given to us.

00:00:36.340 --> 00:00:45.719
 May the Holy Spirit himself be at work here tonight. We pray that hearts will be opened, that you would enable particularly those who have not yet come to know you as a Savior,

00:00:46.140 --> 00:00:52.780
 who have not yet come to know Jesus and find delight in him alone. We pray, Father, that you would open their hearts tonight,

00:00:53.400 --> 00:00:56.500
 that you would be a good God and merciful in all of your ways.

00:00:56.500 --> 00:01:02.880
 And so help us, Lord, to look towards Christ Jesus for all of our salvation and our hope.

00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:08.920
 And may we know the truth of God and the blessing of God alive in our hearts.

00:01:09.340 --> 00:01:12.280
 We ask all of this in Jesus' name. Amen.

00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:21.840
 So Mark, as he records for us the events of Golgotha and the crucifixion of Jesus,

00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:28.939
 he gives us quite a lot of information about not only the events that have happened themselves,

00:01:29.420 --> 00:01:33.920
 but some of the, what we could call, eyewitnesses to these events.

00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:38.420
 It's like the other gospel writers, Mark is relying on sources,

00:01:39.320 --> 00:01:43.680
 and he wants us to be able to have confidence in these sources.

00:01:44.099 --> 00:01:49.299
 So when he tells us, for example, about Simon of Cyrene, who was compelled to carry the cross of Jesus,

00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:53.120
 he identifies Simon by saying he is the father of Rufus and Alexander.

00:01:53.120 --> 00:02:00.380
 And so presumably those reading this in the early church would be able to go and find Rufus and Alexander or Simon himself,

00:02:00.600 --> 00:02:05.359
 but they would know who this was because of who he has said he is.

00:02:05.800 --> 00:02:13.819
 And so that lends us that confidence that Mark's intention is not to record a made-up tale or an imaginary story.

00:02:14.200 --> 00:02:18.259
 He wants us to have confidence that this is history.

00:02:18.259 --> 00:02:24.199
 This is not only is it theological truth, as we were thinking a bit about this morning,

00:02:24.399 --> 00:02:28.399
 but it's also historical truth, that these things really happened,

00:02:29.019 --> 00:02:32.319
 and we can have some confidence in them as well.

00:02:34.299 --> 00:02:38.139
 I want this evening to look just at four of these people that he mentions around the cross

00:02:38.139 --> 00:02:46.079
 and see what role they actually play in the events of the cross.

00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:51.900
 The main thing, of course, is to see Jesus, because that's the point of all of the Gospels.

00:02:52.640 --> 00:02:59.420
 The Gospels want us to see Christ, and therefore tonight what I hope we can do is maybe see Christ

00:02:59.420 --> 00:03:02.340
 through the eyes of these other characters,

00:03:03.340 --> 00:03:07.240
 and that we will be inspired to have faith and to trust in him

00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:10.480
 because of what we read and discover.

00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:20.759
 Firstly, then, there are two robbers who are crucified with Jesus,

00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:23.759
 one on his left, one on his right.

00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:26.659
 So Jesus is on a cross in the center.

00:03:28.259 --> 00:03:32.159
 He is therefore presumably the main event.

00:03:33.839 --> 00:03:37.560
 These two other people who are crucified with him are not as important.

00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:42.740
 They don't get inscriptions written above their heads saying what their crimes were,

00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:46.439
 or certainly none that are recorded for us, just that they were robbers.

00:03:48.659 --> 00:03:52.520
 We tend to remember the significance of them from another Gospel,

00:03:53.159 --> 00:04:00.099
 which tells us about the interaction between one of the two who came to faith.

00:04:00.099 --> 00:04:11.199
 And that journey for them was in these last few hours as Jesus died on the cross with them.

00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:15.680
 And there's that wonderful truth that's given to one of these men.

00:04:16.259 --> 00:04:18.740
 Today, you will be with me in paradise.

00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:22.360
 But Mark shares no such details.

00:04:22.360 --> 00:04:27.920
 What he tells us is that Jesus was crucified as king of the Jews

00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:30.220
 between a pair of thieves,

00:04:31.340 --> 00:04:33.600
 who in one throwaway phrase, actually, Mark says,

00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:38.480
 those who were crucified with him also reviled him.

00:04:40.860 --> 00:04:42.540
 This tells us a lot about the cross.

00:04:44.379 --> 00:04:48.920
 One of the things I mentioned this morning was that the Father was present in all of this.

00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:58.180
 that God's purposes are being worked out and fulfilled in the crucifixion of Jesus.

00:04:59.879 --> 00:05:04.220
 And the way in which Jesus is crucified

00:05:04.220 --> 00:05:07.759
 between these two thieves

00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:11.460
 is evidence of that.

00:05:11.459 --> 00:05:16.579
 It shows us

00:05:16.579 --> 00:05:18.019
 the contempt

00:05:18.019 --> 00:05:20.279
 that Pilate had

00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:21.620
 for the Jews.

00:05:23.779 --> 00:05:25.219
 The way Pilate

00:05:25.219 --> 00:05:27.359
 sticks up this sign

00:05:27.359 --> 00:05:29.879
 it tells us

00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:30.459
 that

00:05:30.459 --> 00:05:33.240
 Pilate despised the Jewish people.

00:05:34.379 --> 00:05:35.560
 There's no reverence

00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:36.359
 in Pilate's sign.

00:05:36.599 --> 00:05:38.319
 When Pilate says, this is the king of the Jews,

00:05:38.779 --> 00:05:39.599
 he's really mocking,

00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:42.980
 pouring scorn on the Jewish hope.

00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:47.980
 And that's part of

00:05:47.980 --> 00:05:51.400
 what was necessary

00:05:51.400 --> 00:05:53.879
 in the crucifixion of Jesus.

00:05:55.760 --> 00:05:56.900
 That as he died,

00:05:57.020 --> 00:05:58.720
 he was to be subjected

00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:00.780
 to scorn.

00:06:02.540 --> 00:06:03.879
 That's part of the cup

00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:05.100
 that he has to drink.

00:06:05.100 --> 00:06:07.720
 It's part of the experience

00:06:07.720 --> 00:06:09.040
 that he has to endure

00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:10.260
 at the cross

00:06:10.260 --> 00:06:12.020
 dying in our place.

00:06:13.480 --> 00:06:15.140
 Because we deserve

00:06:15.140 --> 00:06:15.980
 scorn.

00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:18.920
 We deserve

00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:19.500
 mockery.

00:06:21.500 --> 00:06:22.540
 And we should remember

00:06:22.540 --> 00:06:23.320
 that the cross

00:06:23.320 --> 00:06:24.020
 is a place

00:06:24.020 --> 00:06:25.780
 not where Jesus

00:06:25.780 --> 00:06:26.879
 deserves these things

00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:27.680
 but where we

00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:28.360
 deserve them.

00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:30.580
 And so as we think

00:06:30.580 --> 00:06:31.180
 about the cross

00:06:31.180 --> 00:06:31.920
 we should think

00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:32.759
 about what our

00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:34.500
 own sinful

00:06:34.500 --> 00:06:35.480
 shame

00:06:35.480 --> 00:06:36.460
 deserves.

00:06:37.660 --> 00:06:38.480
 The shame

00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:39.220
 of our sin

00:06:39.220 --> 00:06:40.259
 deserves

00:06:40.259 --> 00:06:41.900
 public derision.

00:06:43.840 --> 00:06:45.480
 We are by nature

00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:46.439
 rebels

00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:47.420
 against

00:06:47.420 --> 00:06:48.480
 a holy

00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:49.199
 God

00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:50.580
 who has made us

00:06:50.580 --> 00:06:51.600
 and given us

00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:52.639
 enormous gifts

00:06:52.639 --> 00:06:53.699
 and great blessings

00:06:53.699 --> 00:06:55.259
 and good things.

00:06:55.259 --> 00:06:57.199
 And we have

00:06:57.199 --> 00:06:57.620
 turned

00:06:57.620 --> 00:06:58.099
 and we have

00:06:58.099 --> 00:06:59.120
 spat in his face

00:06:59.120 --> 00:06:59.759
 in our rebellion.

00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:01.060
 We have chosen

00:07:01.060 --> 00:07:01.459
 to say

00:07:01.459 --> 00:07:02.500
 I will live

00:07:02.500 --> 00:07:03.259
 as a sinner

00:07:03.259 --> 00:07:04.480
 away from you.

00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:05.039
 I don't need

00:07:05.039 --> 00:07:05.759
 to follow you.

00:07:06.039 --> 00:07:06.500
 I don't need

00:07:06.500 --> 00:07:07.139
 your ways.

00:07:07.500 --> 00:07:07.980
 I don't need

00:07:07.980 --> 00:07:09.000
 your laws

00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:09.899
 and your direction

00:07:09.899 --> 00:07:10.620
 for life.

00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:11.680
 I will do

00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:12.459
 my own thing.

00:07:14.659 --> 00:07:15.639
 And increasingly

00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:16.180
 in our day

00:07:16.180 --> 00:07:16.800
 and generation

00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:17.379
 that

00:07:17.379 --> 00:07:18.699
 is becoming

00:07:18.699 --> 00:07:19.579
 ever more prevalent.

00:07:22.480 --> 00:07:23.480
 Radical expressions

00:07:23.480 --> 00:07:24.519
 of individualism.

00:07:25.259 --> 00:07:26.039
 that we're seeing

00:07:26.039 --> 00:07:26.420
 today

00:07:26.420 --> 00:07:27.719
 are just an

00:07:27.719 --> 00:07:28.180
 ongoing

00:07:28.180 --> 00:07:30.159
 rebellion

00:07:30.159 --> 00:07:31.939
 against God's

00:07:31.939 --> 00:07:32.699
 pattern

00:07:32.699 --> 00:07:34.259
 for human life.

00:07:36.259 --> 00:07:37.300
 And those

00:07:37.300 --> 00:07:37.939
 who rebel

00:07:37.939 --> 00:07:39.060
 against such

00:07:39.060 --> 00:07:39.579
 a gracious

00:07:39.579 --> 00:07:40.099
 God

00:07:40.099 --> 00:07:41.519
 deserve

00:07:41.519 --> 00:07:42.379
 shame.

00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:44.659
 They deserve

00:07:44.659 --> 00:07:45.219
 public

00:07:45.219 --> 00:07:45.939
 humiliation.

00:07:45.939 --> 00:07:46.000
 persecution.

00:07:50.579 --> 00:07:50.860
 And so

00:07:50.860 --> 00:07:51.439
 Pilate's

00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:52.120
 attempt to

00:07:52.120 --> 00:07:52.920
 humiliate

00:07:52.920 --> 00:07:54.180
 the Jews

00:07:54.180 --> 00:07:57.620
 tells us

00:07:57.620 --> 00:07:57.920
 a little

00:07:57.920 --> 00:07:58.500
 of what we

00:07:58.500 --> 00:07:59.079
 deserve

00:07:59.079 --> 00:08:01.519
 and a lot

00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:02.459
 about what

00:08:02.459 --> 00:08:02.959
 Christ

00:08:02.959 --> 00:08:03.879
 has done

00:08:03.879 --> 00:08:04.959
 for us.

00:08:04.959 --> 00:08:05.959
 Jesus

00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:09.319
 is not

00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:09.659
 as well

00:08:09.659 --> 00:08:09.919
 that the

00:08:09.919 --> 00:08:10.219
 actual

00:08:10.219 --> 00:08:10.779
 crucifixion

00:08:10.779 --> 00:08:11.060
 itself

00:08:11.060 --> 00:08:11.319
 among

00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:11.560
 these

00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:11.799
 two

00:08:11.799 --> 00:08:12.319
 thieves

00:08:12.319 --> 00:08:13.979
 places

00:08:13.979 --> 00:08:14.699
 Jesus

00:08:14.699 --> 00:08:15.319
 among

00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:16.299
 common

00:08:16.299 --> 00:08:16.979
 criminals.

00:08:19.399 --> 00:08:19.719
 And again

00:08:19.719 --> 00:08:20.379
 this is part

00:08:20.379 --> 00:08:20.659
 of the

00:08:20.659 --> 00:08:21.099
 Father's

00:08:21.099 --> 00:08:21.659
 purpose

00:08:21.659 --> 00:08:22.839
 being worked

00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:23.240
 out in

00:08:23.240 --> 00:08:23.539
 full.

00:08:24.279 --> 00:08:24.819
 It's not

00:08:24.819 --> 00:08:25.479
 a coincidence.

00:08:26.599 --> 00:08:26.919
 If you see

00:08:26.919 --> 00:08:27.319
 in verse

00:08:27.319 --> 00:08:28.500
 28

00:08:28.500 --> 00:08:29.899
 missing in

00:08:29.899 --> 00:08:30.100
 some of

00:08:30.100 --> 00:08:30.420
 the earliest

00:08:30.420 --> 00:08:30.839
 manuscripts

00:08:30.839 --> 00:08:31.120
 so it's

00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:31.839
 only footnoted

00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:32.059
 in our

00:08:32.059 --> 00:08:32.659
 ESVs.

00:08:33.019 --> 00:08:33.340
 But verse

00:08:33.340 --> 00:08:33.860
 28

00:08:33.860 --> 00:08:35.320
 it tells

00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:35.820
 us

00:08:35.820 --> 00:08:36.639
 this little

00:08:36.639 --> 00:08:37.139
 phrase

00:08:37.139 --> 00:08:38.080
 that this

00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:38.539
 was done

00:08:38.539 --> 00:08:39.360
 to fulfill

00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:40.120
 scripture.

00:08:42.779 --> 00:08:43.960
 The fulfillment

00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:44.700
 of scripture

00:08:44.700 --> 00:08:46.960
 is absolutely

00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:47.659
 everywhere

00:08:47.659 --> 00:08:48.559
 around the

00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:49.000
 cross.

00:08:50.220 --> 00:08:51.220
 It's there

00:08:51.220 --> 00:08:51.879
 as the

00:08:51.879 --> 00:08:53.000
 soldiers

00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:54.460
 cast lots

00:08:54.460 --> 00:08:54.759
 for the

00:08:54.759 --> 00:08:55.279
 garments of

00:08:55.279 --> 00:08:55.580
 Jesus

00:08:55.580 --> 00:08:56.919
 and it's

00:08:56.919 --> 00:08:57.519
 there as

00:08:57.519 --> 00:08:57.820
 he is

00:08:57.820 --> 00:08:58.279
 crucified

00:08:58.279 --> 00:08:58.679
 on the

00:08:58.679 --> 00:08:59.019
 central

00:08:59.019 --> 00:08:59.459
 cross

00:08:59.459 --> 00:09:00.019
 between

00:09:00.019 --> 00:09:00.919
 two

00:09:00.919 --> 00:09:01.459
 common

00:09:01.459 --> 00:09:01.959
 criminals.

00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:04.399
 You go

00:09:04.399 --> 00:09:05.100
 back to

00:09:05.100 --> 00:09:06.000
 the prophecies

00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:06.720
 of Isaiah

00:09:06.720 --> 00:09:08.220
 and you

00:09:08.220 --> 00:09:08.740
 see there

00:09:08.740 --> 00:09:09.459
 that Jesus

00:09:09.459 --> 00:09:10.919
 was numbered

00:09:10.919 --> 00:09:11.839
 in his

00:09:11.839 --> 00:09:12.259
 death

00:09:12.259 --> 00:09:13.419
 with the

00:09:13.419 --> 00:09:14.199
 transgressors.

00:09:17.179 --> 00:09:18.120
 When Jesus

00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:18.839
 goes to die

00:09:18.839 --> 00:09:19.220
 for his

00:09:19.220 --> 00:09:19.600
 people

00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:21.539
 even that

00:09:21.539 --> 00:09:22.019
 is not

00:09:22.019 --> 00:09:22.600
 something that

00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:23.220
 takes place

00:09:23.220 --> 00:09:23.459
 in a

00:09:23.459 --> 00:09:23.899
 magnificent

00:09:23.899 --> 00:09:24.339
 hall.

00:09:25.559 --> 00:09:26.279
 It's not

00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:26.759
 something that

00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:27.240
 takes place

00:09:27.240 --> 00:09:27.699
 in a place

00:09:27.700 --> 00:09:28.220
 of glory

00:09:28.220 --> 00:09:28.820
 and triumph.

00:09:29.600 --> 00:09:29.879
 It's a

00:09:29.879 --> 00:09:30.640
 place of

00:09:30.640 --> 00:09:31.480
 shame and

00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:31.840
 derision.

00:09:32.020 --> 00:09:32.160
 It's a

00:09:32.160 --> 00:09:32.500
 place of

00:09:32.500 --> 00:09:33.120
 scorning and

00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:33.560
 mocking that

00:09:33.560 --> 00:09:34.620
 belongs to

00:09:34.620 --> 00:09:35.180
 common

00:09:35.180 --> 00:09:35.680
 criminals.

00:09:38.140 --> 00:09:38.700
 And there

00:09:38.700 --> 00:09:39.460
 our Lord

00:09:39.460 --> 00:09:41.160
 was rejected

00:09:41.160 --> 00:09:42.700
 and died

00:09:42.700 --> 00:09:43.620
 for his

00:09:43.620 --> 00:09:43.940
 people.

00:09:43.940 --> 00:09:44.380
 God

00:09:44.380 --> 00:09:47.820
 the Father

00:09:47.820 --> 00:09:48.280
 was in

00:09:48.280 --> 00:09:48.580
 all of

00:09:48.580 --> 00:09:48.900
 this.

00:09:50.820 --> 00:09:51.100
 These

00:09:51.100 --> 00:09:51.860
 things happen

00:09:51.860 --> 00:09:52.900
 by divine

00:09:52.900 --> 00:09:53.380
 appointment.

00:09:53.580 --> 00:09:54.060
 They are no

00:09:54.060 --> 00:09:55.040
 mere accident

00:09:55.040 --> 00:09:56.840
 and they're

00:09:56.840 --> 00:09:57.560
 to tell us

00:09:57.560 --> 00:09:57.840
 and to

00:09:57.840 --> 00:09:58.680
 confirm to

00:09:58.680 --> 00:10:00.100
 us what

00:10:00.100 --> 00:10:01.600
 Jesus did

00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:02.200
 at the

00:10:02.200 --> 00:10:02.580
 cross.

00:10:03.860 --> 00:10:04.860
 He takes

00:10:04.860 --> 00:10:05.840
 upon himself

00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:07.660
 the derision

00:10:07.660 --> 00:10:08.400
 that our

00:10:08.400 --> 00:10:08.760
 sin

00:10:08.760 --> 00:10:09.600
 deserves.

00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:11.440
 He goes

00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:12.120
 to die

00:10:12.120 --> 00:10:13.139
 like a

00:10:13.139 --> 00:10:13.399
 common

00:10:13.399 --> 00:10:13.860
 criminal

00:10:13.860 --> 00:10:15.200
 because that

00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:15.580
 is what

00:10:15.580 --> 00:10:16.040
 we

00:10:16.040 --> 00:10:16.840
 deserve.

00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:18.759
 He

00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:19.540
 becomes

00:10:19.540 --> 00:10:20.440
 sin

00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:21.340
 for us

00:10:21.340 --> 00:10:23.279
 and is

00:10:23.279 --> 00:10:23.600
 therefore

00:10:23.600 --> 00:10:24.519
 experiencing

00:10:24.519 --> 00:10:24.840
 the

00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:25.639
 humiliation

00:10:25.639 --> 00:10:26.759
 that the

00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:27.420
 defeat of

00:10:27.420 --> 00:10:28.080
 sin at the

00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:28.500
 hands of

00:10:28.500 --> 00:10:28.980
 God's wrath

00:10:28.980 --> 00:10:29.600
 deserves.

00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:32.620
 It is an

00:10:32.620 --> 00:10:33.379
 awful place.

00:10:34.120 --> 00:10:34.740
 It is not

00:10:34.740 --> 00:10:35.340
 a pleasant

00:10:35.340 --> 00:10:36.000
 place

00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:37.580
 because it

00:10:37.580 --> 00:10:37.840
 is a

00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:38.340
 place

00:10:38.340 --> 00:10:39.480
 where sin

00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:40.240
 gets

00:10:40.240 --> 00:10:41.279
 what it

00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:41.899
 deserved.

00:10:43.700 --> 00:10:44.559
 The awful

00:10:44.559 --> 00:10:45.379
 reality of

00:10:45.379 --> 00:10:45.799
 course is

00:10:45.799 --> 00:10:46.620
 that this

00:10:46.620 --> 00:10:47.240
 points us

00:10:47.240 --> 00:10:47.879
 towards the

00:10:47.879 --> 00:10:48.519
 reality of

00:10:48.519 --> 00:10:49.320
 sin itself

00:10:49.320 --> 00:10:49.659
 in our

00:10:49.659 --> 00:10:50.860
 lives if

00:10:50.860 --> 00:10:51.279
 we find

00:10:51.279 --> 00:10:51.639
 ourselves

00:10:51.639 --> 00:10:52.059
 without

00:10:52.059 --> 00:10:52.720
 Christ.

00:10:54.179 --> 00:10:54.919
 If we

00:10:54.919 --> 00:10:55.539
 find ourselves

00:10:55.539 --> 00:10:55.840
 without

00:10:55.840 --> 00:10:56.539
 Jesus then

00:10:56.539 --> 00:10:57.039
 one day

00:10:57.039 --> 00:10:57.679
 a day of

00:10:57.679 --> 00:10:57.980
 judgment

00:10:57.980 --> 00:10:58.559
 will come.

00:10:59.580 --> 00:10:59.919
 A day

00:10:59.919 --> 00:11:00.259
 when our

00:11:00.259 --> 00:11:00.840
 sin will

00:11:00.840 --> 00:11:01.580
 catch up

00:11:01.580 --> 00:11:02.200
 with us

00:11:02.200 --> 00:11:03.059
 and there

00:11:03.059 --> 00:11:03.379
 we would

00:11:03.379 --> 00:11:04.279
 experience

00:11:04.279 --> 00:11:05.980
 the lostness

00:11:05.980 --> 00:11:06.960
 and the

00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:07.399
 shame

00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:08.340
 and the

00:11:08.340 --> 00:11:08.800
 derision

00:11:08.800 --> 00:11:10.100
 of going

00:11:10.100 --> 00:11:10.560
 into a

00:11:10.560 --> 00:11:10.840
 lost

00:11:10.840 --> 00:11:11.420
 eternity

00:11:11.420 --> 00:11:12.720
 away from

00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:13.080
 God

00:11:13.080 --> 00:11:14.139
 and the

00:11:14.139 --> 00:11:14.500
 comfort

00:11:14.500 --> 00:11:15.120
 and the

00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:15.539
 peace

00:11:15.539 --> 00:11:16.240
 and the

00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:16.620
 hope

00:11:16.620 --> 00:11:17.980
 of the

00:11:17.980 --> 00:11:18.120
 new

00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:18.399
 heavens

00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:18.639
 and the

00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:18.779
 new

00:11:18.779 --> 00:11:19.120
 earth.

00:11:20.779 --> 00:11:21.300
 It is a

00:11:21.300 --> 00:11:21.600
 place the

00:11:21.600 --> 00:11:21.820
 Bible

00:11:21.820 --> 00:11:22.320
 describes

00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:22.659
 as the

00:11:22.659 --> 00:11:22.980
 second

00:11:22.980 --> 00:11:23.500
 death.

00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:25.600
 It is

00:11:25.600 --> 00:11:26.100
 an awful

00:11:26.100 --> 00:11:27.480
 terrifying

00:11:27.480 --> 00:11:28.039
 scene

00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:31.080
 but some

00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:31.440
 of that

00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:31.960
 was poured

00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:32.399
 out

00:11:32.399 --> 00:11:33.019
 at

00:11:33.019 --> 00:11:33.600
 Golgotha

00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:36.040
 because

00:11:36.040 --> 00:11:36.240
 at

00:11:36.240 --> 00:11:36.800
 Golgotha

00:11:36.800 --> 00:11:37.259
 Jesus

00:11:37.259 --> 00:11:38.159
 tasted

00:11:38.159 --> 00:11:38.879
 that

00:11:38.879 --> 00:11:39.700
 rejection

00:11:39.700 --> 00:11:41.240
 for us

00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:43.540
 and carried

00:11:43.540 --> 00:11:43.980
 away

00:11:43.980 --> 00:11:44.720
 our

00:11:44.720 --> 00:11:45.259
 sin.

00:11:47.779 --> 00:11:48.480
 But there is

00:11:48.480 --> 00:11:48.860
 hope

00:11:48.860 --> 00:11:49.840
 entangled

00:11:49.840 --> 00:11:50.300
 in all of

00:11:50.300 --> 00:11:50.639
 this as

00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:50.899
 well

00:11:50.899 --> 00:11:52.139
 because

00:11:52.139 --> 00:11:52.620
 that day

00:11:52.620 --> 00:11:53.080
 you remember

00:11:53.080 --> 00:11:53.420
 there was

00:11:53.420 --> 00:11:53.920
 supposed to

00:11:53.920 --> 00:11:54.220
 have been

00:11:54.220 --> 00:11:54.820
 a third

00:11:54.820 --> 00:11:55.879
 insurrectionist

00:11:55.879 --> 00:11:56.620
 a third

00:11:56.620 --> 00:11:57.000
 robber

00:11:57.000 --> 00:11:57.460
 a third

00:11:57.460 --> 00:11:57.980
 murderer

00:11:57.980 --> 00:11:58.720
 put to

00:11:58.720 --> 00:11:58.980
 death

00:11:58.980 --> 00:11:59.360
 by the

00:11:59.360 --> 00:11:59.820
 Romans

00:11:59.820 --> 00:12:01.500
 made

00:12:01.500 --> 00:12:03.500
 an object

00:12:03.500 --> 00:12:04.060
 of that

00:12:04.060 --> 00:12:04.539
 derision

00:12:04.539 --> 00:12:06.100
 and that's

00:12:06.100 --> 00:12:06.539
 this man

00:12:06.539 --> 00:12:07.200
 Barabbas

00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:09.019
 and the

00:12:09.019 --> 00:12:09.220
 great

00:12:09.220 --> 00:12:09.759
 likelihood

00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:10.159
 is

00:12:10.159 --> 00:12:10.720
 it's not

00:12:10.720 --> 00:12:11.039
 drawing

00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:12.860
 an unfair

00:12:12.860 --> 00:12:13.500
 conclusion

00:12:13.500 --> 00:12:13.960
 to say

00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:14.259
 this

00:12:14.259 --> 00:12:15.340
 the cross

00:12:15.340 --> 00:12:15.680
 on which

00:12:15.680 --> 00:12:16.100
 Jesus

00:12:16.100 --> 00:12:16.600
 dies

00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:17.639
 is

00:12:17.639 --> 00:12:18.360
 Barabbas

00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:18.720
 cross

00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:20.340
 he is

00:12:20.340 --> 00:12:20.779
 the leader

00:12:20.779 --> 00:12:21.139
 of the

00:12:21.139 --> 00:12:21.700
 insurrection

00:12:21.700 --> 00:12:22.820
 he is

00:12:22.820 --> 00:12:23.100
 the one

00:12:23.100 --> 00:12:23.700
 who belongs

00:12:23.700 --> 00:12:24.080
 on that

00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:24.820
 central cross

00:12:24.820 --> 00:12:25.320
 that day

00:12:25.320 --> 00:12:27.140
 and so

00:12:27.140 --> 00:12:27.420
 as we

00:12:27.420 --> 00:12:27.860
 think about

00:12:27.860 --> 00:12:28.220
 the fact

00:12:28.220 --> 00:12:28.720
 that Jesus

00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:29.340
 is crucified

00:12:29.340 --> 00:12:29.940
 among two

00:12:29.940 --> 00:12:30.300
 robbers

00:12:30.300 --> 00:12:30.680
 let us

00:12:30.680 --> 00:12:31.280
 remember

00:12:31.280 --> 00:12:33.060
 that Jesus

00:12:33.060 --> 00:12:33.640
 takes the

00:12:33.640 --> 00:12:34.080
 place of

00:12:34.080 --> 00:12:34.600
 someone

00:12:34.600 --> 00:12:35.440
 spared

00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:38.280
 that Jesus

00:12:38.280 --> 00:12:38.700
 on that

00:12:38.700 --> 00:12:38.920
 day

00:12:38.920 --> 00:12:39.500
 literally

00:12:39.500 --> 00:12:40.080
 took the

00:12:40.080 --> 00:12:40.460
 place of

00:12:40.460 --> 00:12:40.720
 someone

00:12:40.720 --> 00:12:41.100
 spared

00:12:41.100 --> 00:12:42.460
 that

00:12:42.460 --> 00:12:42.960
 Barabbas

00:12:42.960 --> 00:12:43.480
 receives

00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:43.920
 a second

00:12:43.920 --> 00:12:44.460
 chance

00:12:44.460 --> 00:12:46.720
 now it's

00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:47.100
 interesting

00:12:47.100 --> 00:12:47.400
 we don't

00:12:47.400 --> 00:12:47.720
 know anything

00:12:47.720 --> 00:12:48.140
 about him

00:12:48.140 --> 00:12:49.420
 we can't

00:12:49.420 --> 00:12:49.800
 say who

00:12:49.800 --> 00:12:50.160
 else he

00:12:50.160 --> 00:12:50.340
 is

00:12:50.340 --> 00:12:50.640
 we don't

00:12:50.640 --> 00:12:50.840
 know of

00:12:50.840 --> 00:12:50.960
 any

00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:51.420
 recording

00:12:51.420 --> 00:12:51.820
 of anything

00:12:51.820 --> 00:12:52.280
 more about

00:12:52.280 --> 00:12:52.480
 him in

00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:52.900
 the Bible

00:12:52.900 --> 00:12:53.760
 or in

00:12:53.760 --> 00:12:54.420
 contemporary

00:12:54.420 --> 00:12:54.800
 secular

00:12:54.800 --> 00:12:55.240
 records

00:12:55.240 --> 00:12:56.560
 I'm not

00:12:56.560 --> 00:12:56.759
 sure

00:12:56.759 --> 00:12:57.580
 Josephus

00:12:57.580 --> 00:12:57.799
 I don't

00:12:57.799 --> 00:12:57.919
 think

00:12:57.919 --> 00:12:58.240
 mentions

00:12:58.240 --> 00:12:58.440
 him

00:12:58.440 --> 00:12:59.480
 he's

00:12:59.480 --> 00:12:59.680
 one of

00:12:59.680 --> 00:12:59.879
 the most

00:12:59.879 --> 00:13:00.180
 famous

00:13:00.180 --> 00:13:00.480
 authors

00:13:00.480 --> 00:13:00.840
 on this

00:13:00.840 --> 00:13:01.279
 event

00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:01.799
 from outside

00:13:01.799 --> 00:13:02.220
 of scripture

00:13:02.220 --> 00:13:04.680
 but you

00:13:04.680 --> 00:13:04.980
 have to

00:13:04.980 --> 00:13:05.220
 wonder

00:13:05.220 --> 00:13:05.680
 don't you

00:13:05.680 --> 00:13:06.820
 what did

00:13:06.820 --> 00:13:07.279
 Barabbas

00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:07.740
 make of

00:13:07.740 --> 00:13:08.139
 the second

00:13:08.139 --> 00:13:08.680
 chance

00:13:08.680 --> 00:13:12.440
 was he

00:13:12.440 --> 00:13:13.100
 inspired by

00:13:13.100 --> 00:13:13.340
 it to

00:13:13.340 --> 00:13:13.600
 turn his

00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:14.139
 life around

00:13:14.139 --> 00:13:16.000
 did he

00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:16.240
 go and

00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:16.820
 find some

00:13:16.820 --> 00:13:17.500
 miraculous

00:13:17.500 --> 00:13:18.000
 good thing

00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:18.299
 to do

00:13:18.299 --> 00:13:18.500
 with the

00:13:18.500 --> 00:13:18.779
 rest of

00:13:18.779 --> 00:13:18.879
 his

00:13:18.879 --> 00:13:19.120
 days

00:13:19.120 --> 00:13:19.379
 did he

00:13:19.379 --> 00:13:19.639
 devote

00:13:19.639 --> 00:13:19.899
 himself

00:13:19.899 --> 00:13:20.080
 to

00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:20.440
 charity

00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:22.100
 or did

00:13:22.100 --> 00:13:22.799
 he squander

00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:23.379
 the grace

00:13:23.379 --> 00:13:23.720
 that was

00:13:23.720 --> 00:13:24.080
 shown him

00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:24.500
 that day

00:13:24.500 --> 00:13:26.559
 did he

00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:27.080
 continue

00:13:27.080 --> 00:13:27.759
 in his

00:13:27.759 --> 00:13:28.360
 path of

00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:29.259
 sin and

00:13:29.259 --> 00:13:29.980
 rejection of

00:13:29.980 --> 00:13:30.940
 the authorities

00:13:30.940 --> 00:13:32.919
 perhaps committing

00:13:32.919 --> 00:13:33.559
 himself to that

00:13:33.559 --> 00:13:34.360
 life of crime

00:13:34.360 --> 00:13:35.840
 and finding

00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:37.080
 himself ultimately

00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:37.840
 defeated

00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:39.559
 and futile

00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:43.359
 Jesus took

00:13:43.359 --> 00:13:44.539
 someone else's

00:13:44.539 --> 00:13:45.139
 cross

00:13:45.139 --> 00:13:47.659
 the just

00:13:47.659 --> 00:13:48.819
 in the place

00:13:48.819 --> 00:13:49.519
 of the unjust

00:13:49.519 --> 00:13:52.559
 the innocent

00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:54.199
 in the place

00:13:54.199 --> 00:13:55.559
 of the guilty

00:13:55.559 --> 00:13:58.619
 this is our

00:13:58.619 --> 00:13:58.879
 king

00:13:58.879 --> 00:14:01.079
 this is the

00:14:01.079 --> 00:14:01.779
 one who today

00:14:01.779 --> 00:14:02.119
 we have

00:14:02.119 --> 00:14:02.699
 celebrated

00:14:02.699 --> 00:14:03.659
 dying in our

00:14:03.659 --> 00:14:04.099
 place

00:14:04.099 --> 00:14:05.779
 and remembered

00:14:05.779 --> 00:14:06.199
 that

00:14:06.200 --> 00:14:08.220
 and the

00:14:08.220 --> 00:14:08.560
 question

00:14:08.560 --> 00:14:08.980
 for us

00:14:08.980 --> 00:14:09.259
 therefore

00:14:09.259 --> 00:14:09.720
 tonight

00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:10.040
 is a

00:14:10.040 --> 00:14:10.320
 simple

00:14:10.320 --> 00:14:10.640
 one

00:14:10.640 --> 00:14:12.020
 did he

00:14:12.020 --> 00:14:12.360
 die

00:14:12.360 --> 00:14:13.400
 for you

00:14:13.400 --> 00:14:14.980
 did he

00:14:14.980 --> 00:14:15.240
 take

00:14:15.240 --> 00:14:15.500
 your

00:14:15.500 --> 00:14:16.020
 place

00:14:16.020 --> 00:14:18.520
 and the

00:14:18.520 --> 00:14:18.879
 rejection

00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:19.600
 you deserve

00:14:19.600 --> 00:14:22.759
 the second

00:14:22.759 --> 00:14:23.080
 group are

00:14:23.080 --> 00:14:23.700
 the crowd

00:14:23.700 --> 00:14:24.400
 and the

00:14:24.400 --> 00:14:24.720
 priests

00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:25.000
 and the

00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:25.580
 scribes

00:14:25.580 --> 00:14:26.660
 it's a

00:14:26.660 --> 00:14:26.960
 crowd made

00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:27.340
 up of

00:14:27.340 --> 00:14:28.460
 probably

00:14:28.460 --> 00:14:28.860
 local

00:14:28.860 --> 00:14:29.320
 people

00:14:29.320 --> 00:14:30.280
 Jerusalem

00:14:30.280 --> 00:14:30.640
 at this

00:14:30.640 --> 00:14:30.780
 point

00:14:30.780 --> 00:14:30.980
 it's a

00:14:30.980 --> 00:14:31.379
 very busy

00:14:31.379 --> 00:14:31.740
 city

00:14:31.740 --> 00:14:33.220
 it's full

00:14:33.220 --> 00:14:34.100
 of people

00:14:34.100 --> 00:14:34.280
 who've

00:14:34.280 --> 00:14:34.600
 come to

00:14:34.600 --> 00:14:34.860
 Jerusalem

00:14:34.860 --> 00:14:35.220
 for the

00:14:35.220 --> 00:14:35.600
 feast

00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:36.519
 for the

00:14:36.519 --> 00:14:36.860
 Passover

00:14:36.860 --> 00:14:38.039
 and so

00:14:38.039 --> 00:14:38.740
 the numbers

00:14:38.740 --> 00:14:38.940
 in the

00:14:38.940 --> 00:14:39.120
 city

00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:39.539
 are greatly

00:14:39.539 --> 00:14:40.120
 inflated

00:14:40.120 --> 00:14:41.000
 it would

00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:41.440
 probably

00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:42.039
 be stretching

00:14:42.039 --> 00:14:42.519
 things a

00:14:42.519 --> 00:14:42.919
 little bit

00:14:42.919 --> 00:14:43.360
 to say

00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:44.180
 that this

00:14:44.180 --> 00:14:44.740
 crowd are

00:14:44.740 --> 00:14:45.159
 literally

00:14:45.159 --> 00:14:45.639
 the same

00:14:45.639 --> 00:14:45.940
 people

00:14:45.940 --> 00:14:46.240
 who a

00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:46.419
 week

00:14:46.419 --> 00:14:46.820
 earlier

00:14:46.820 --> 00:14:47.560
 have been

00:14:47.560 --> 00:14:48.120
 acclaiming

00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:48.460
 Jesus

00:14:48.460 --> 00:14:49.200
 as the

00:14:49.200 --> 00:14:49.519
 son of

00:14:49.519 --> 00:14:49.800
 David

00:14:49.800 --> 00:14:50.460
 the one

00:14:50.460 --> 00:14:50.680
 who is

00:14:50.680 --> 00:14:51.019
 blessed

00:14:51.019 --> 00:14:51.279
 in the

00:14:51.279 --> 00:14:51.399
 name

00:14:51.399 --> 00:14:51.620
 of the

00:14:51.620 --> 00:14:51.840
 Lord

00:14:51.840 --> 00:14:52.460
 who

00:14:52.460 --> 00:14:52.919
 comes

00:14:52.919 --> 00:14:53.340
 to

00:14:53.340 --> 00:14:53.759
 set

00:14:53.759 --> 00:14:53.919
 his

00:14:53.919 --> 00:14:54.180
 people

00:14:54.180 --> 00:14:54.519
 free

00:14:54.519 --> 00:14:55.279
 waving

00:14:55.279 --> 00:14:55.600
 palm

00:14:55.600 --> 00:14:55.919
 branches

00:14:55.919 --> 00:14:56.200
 on their

00:14:56.200 --> 00:14:56.519
 clothes

00:14:56.519 --> 00:14:57.159
 before him

00:14:57.159 --> 00:14:57.759
 as he

00:14:57.759 --> 00:14:57.879
 entered

00:14:57.879 --> 00:14:58.200
 the city

00:14:58.200 --> 00:14:58.440
 on a

00:14:58.440 --> 00:14:58.720
 donkey

00:14:58.720 --> 00:15:00.180
 but

00:15:00.180 --> 00:15:00.519
 nevertheless

00:15:00.519 --> 00:15:01.360
 they

00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:01.879
 represent

00:15:01.879 --> 00:15:02.580
 the people

00:15:02.580 --> 00:15:03.080
 of Israel

00:15:03.080 --> 00:15:04.000
 and the

00:15:04.000 --> 00:15:04.360
 world

00:15:04.860 --> 00:15:05.440
 and

00:15:05.440 --> 00:15:07.100
 they

00:15:07.100 --> 00:15:07.639
 have an

00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:08.139
 interesting

00:15:08.139 --> 00:15:08.700
 thing to

00:15:08.700 --> 00:15:09.060
 say to

00:15:09.060 --> 00:15:09.399
 us

00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:10.159
 Mark

00:15:10.159 --> 00:15:10.659
 tells us

00:15:10.659 --> 00:15:10.960
 what their

00:15:10.960 --> 00:15:11.440
 cry is

00:15:11.440 --> 00:15:11.860
 come down

00:15:11.860 --> 00:15:12.180
 from the

00:15:12.180 --> 00:15:12.500
 cross

00:15:12.500 --> 00:15:13.860
 you who

00:15:13.860 --> 00:15:14.019
 would

00:15:14.019 --> 00:15:14.399
 destroy

00:15:14.399 --> 00:15:14.960
 the temple

00:15:14.960 --> 00:15:15.539
 and rebuild

00:15:15.539 --> 00:15:15.840
 it in

00:15:15.840 --> 00:15:16.440
 three days

00:15:16.440 --> 00:15:17.460
 save

00:15:17.460 --> 00:15:18.060
 yourself

00:15:18.060 --> 00:15:19.500
 and come

00:15:19.500 --> 00:15:19.940
 down

00:15:19.940 --> 00:15:20.800
 from the

00:15:20.800 --> 00:15:21.259
 cross

00:15:21.259 --> 00:15:23.240
 this tells

00:15:23.240 --> 00:15:23.500
 us again

00:15:23.500 --> 00:15:23.720
 a few

00:15:23.720 --> 00:15:24.080
 things about

00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:24.700
 people and

00:15:24.700 --> 00:15:25.220
 what is

00:15:25.220 --> 00:15:25.659
 happening at

00:15:25.659 --> 00:15:26.060
 the cross

00:15:26.060 --> 00:15:26.639
 one of the

00:15:26.639 --> 00:15:26.860
 things it

00:15:26.860 --> 00:15:27.220
 tells us

00:15:27.220 --> 00:15:27.899
 is for

00:15:27.899 --> 00:15:28.360
 certain

00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:29.720
 that without

00:15:29.720 --> 00:15:30.700
 the regenerating

00:15:30.700 --> 00:15:31.500
 work of God

00:15:31.500 --> 00:15:32.180
 and his grace

00:15:32.180 --> 00:15:32.899
 in our lives

00:15:32.899 --> 00:15:34.480
 we will not

00:15:34.480 --> 00:15:36.460
 get what

00:15:36.460 --> 00:15:36.779
 is going

00:15:36.779 --> 00:15:37.240
 on here

00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:39.779
 we might

00:15:39.779 --> 00:15:40.500
 understand the

00:15:40.500 --> 00:15:40.980
 facts

00:15:40.980 --> 00:15:42.700
 and so we

00:15:42.700 --> 00:15:43.480
 might be able

00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:43.940
 to read a

00:15:43.940 --> 00:15:44.460
 passage like

00:15:44.460 --> 00:15:44.960
 this and say

00:15:44.960 --> 00:15:45.899
 Jesus was

00:15:45.899 --> 00:15:46.340
 crucified

00:15:46.340 --> 00:15:47.500
 we might be

00:15:47.500 --> 00:15:47.800
 able to say

00:15:47.800 --> 00:15:48.080
 it was an

00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:48.740
 unjust death

00:15:48.740 --> 00:15:49.580
 we might be

00:15:49.580 --> 00:15:49.840
 able to

00:15:49.840 --> 00:15:50.560
 repeat the

00:15:50.560 --> 00:15:51.039
 theology

00:15:51.039 --> 00:15:51.820
 and say

00:15:51.820 --> 00:15:52.500
 well you

00:15:52.500 --> 00:15:52.659
 know

00:15:52.659 --> 00:15:53.500
 somehow God

00:15:53.500 --> 00:15:53.860
 was dealing

00:15:53.860 --> 00:15:54.300
 with sin

00:15:54.300 --> 00:15:54.580
 in this

00:15:54.580 --> 00:15:54.860
 and that's

00:15:54.860 --> 00:15:55.180
 how sin

00:15:55.180 --> 00:15:55.680
 is forgiven

00:15:55.680 --> 00:15:57.259
 but actually

00:15:57.259 --> 00:15:57.840
 at a deeper

00:15:57.840 --> 00:15:58.220
 level

00:15:58.220 --> 00:15:59.100
 there will be

00:15:59.100 --> 00:16:00.039
 no embrace

00:16:00.039 --> 00:16:00.899
 or understanding

00:16:00.899 --> 00:16:02.319
 of this

00:16:02.319 --> 00:16:04.019
 the people

00:16:04.019 --> 00:16:05.959
 are like

00:16:05.959 --> 00:16:06.379
 that

00:16:06.379 --> 00:16:08.819
 unless God

00:16:08.819 --> 00:16:09.600
 has begun

00:16:09.600 --> 00:16:10.279
 a work of

00:16:10.279 --> 00:16:10.720
 regeneration

00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:11.639
 in us

00:16:11.639 --> 00:16:13.459
 the things

00:16:13.459 --> 00:16:13.899
 of God

00:16:13.899 --> 00:16:14.399
 God's way

00:16:14.399 --> 00:16:14.699
 of doing

00:16:14.699 --> 00:16:15.000
 things

00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:16.000
 God's word

00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:16.319
 and his

00:16:16.319 --> 00:16:16.699
 wisdom

00:16:16.699 --> 00:16:17.939
 will often

00:16:17.939 --> 00:16:18.559
 wash over

00:16:18.559 --> 00:16:19.259
 us completely

00:16:19.259 --> 00:16:21.319
 and so

00:16:21.319 --> 00:16:22.340
 tonight I

00:16:22.340 --> 00:16:22.539
 want to

00:16:22.539 --> 00:16:23.039
 encourage you

00:16:23.039 --> 00:16:23.559
 in this way

00:16:23.559 --> 00:16:25.000
 that God

00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:25.980
 is not

00:16:25.980 --> 00:16:26.500
 tonight

00:16:26.500 --> 00:16:28.039
 wanting

00:16:28.039 --> 00:16:28.639
 you to

00:16:28.639 --> 00:16:29.179
 be ignorant

00:16:29.179 --> 00:16:31.860
 he shows

00:16:31.860 --> 00:16:32.139
 you an

00:16:32.139 --> 00:16:32.599
 example

00:16:32.599 --> 00:16:33.159
 of a

00:16:33.159 --> 00:16:33.579
 group of

00:16:33.579 --> 00:16:33.959
 people

00:16:33.959 --> 00:16:35.159
 who are

00:16:35.159 --> 00:16:35.779
 perhaps

00:16:35.779 --> 00:16:36.860
 aligned

00:16:36.860 --> 00:16:37.240
 the same

00:16:37.240 --> 00:16:37.620
 way you

00:16:37.620 --> 00:16:37.899
 are

00:16:37.899 --> 00:16:39.759
 perhaps

00:16:39.759 --> 00:16:40.279
 impressed

00:16:40.279 --> 00:16:40.579
 at the

00:16:40.579 --> 00:16:40.799
 things

00:16:40.799 --> 00:16:41.259
 Jesus

00:16:41.259 --> 00:16:42.500
 is claimed

00:16:42.500 --> 00:16:42.779
 to have

00:16:42.779 --> 00:16:43.019
 done

00:16:43.019 --> 00:16:45.059
 you who

00:16:45.059 --> 00:16:45.399
 said you

00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:45.839
 would destroy

00:16:45.839 --> 00:16:46.339
 the temple

00:16:46.339 --> 00:16:47.159
 and raise

00:16:47.159 --> 00:16:47.399
 it up

00:16:47.399 --> 00:16:47.719
 again in

00:16:47.719 --> 00:16:48.259
 three days

00:16:48.259 --> 00:16:50.740
 but who

00:16:50.740 --> 00:16:51.179
 missed the

00:16:51.179 --> 00:16:51.639
 point

00:16:51.639 --> 00:16:52.480
 of his

00:16:52.480 --> 00:16:53.019
 death

00:16:53.019 --> 00:16:55.779
 you might

00:16:55.779 --> 00:16:56.139
 say to

00:16:56.139 --> 00:16:56.519
 yourself

00:16:56.519 --> 00:16:57.120
 Jesus is

00:16:57.120 --> 00:16:57.539
 someone who

00:16:57.539 --> 00:16:57.980
 is worth

00:16:57.980 --> 00:16:58.639
 listening to

00:16:58.639 --> 00:16:59.480
 someone who

00:16:59.480 --> 00:16:59.840
 is worth

00:16:59.840 --> 00:17:00.180
 following

00:17:00.180 --> 00:17:00.539
 he's got

00:17:00.539 --> 00:17:01.159
 wise things

00:17:01.159 --> 00:17:01.519
 to say

00:17:01.519 --> 00:17:01.860
 about how

00:17:01.860 --> 00:17:02.120
 we should

00:17:02.120 --> 00:17:02.539
 love one

00:17:02.539 --> 00:17:02.820
 another

00:17:02.820 --> 00:17:03.639
 he's got

00:17:03.639 --> 00:17:04.160
 wise things

00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:04.500
 to say

00:17:04.500 --> 00:17:04.819
 about how

00:17:04.819 --> 00:17:05.120
 we should

00:17:05.120 --> 00:17:05.759
 forgive one

00:17:05.759 --> 00:17:06.059
 another

00:17:06.059 --> 00:17:06.740
 he's got

00:17:06.740 --> 00:17:07.339
 wise things

00:17:07.339 --> 00:17:07.700
 to say

00:17:07.700 --> 00:17:08.000
 about how

00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:08.279
 we should

00:17:08.279 --> 00:17:08.519
 live

00:17:08.519 --> 00:17:09.400
 sacrificially

00:17:09.400 --> 00:17:10.420
 and show

00:17:10.420 --> 00:17:11.180
 kindness to

00:17:11.180 --> 00:17:11.599
 people in

00:17:11.599 --> 00:17:11.740
 need

00:17:11.740 --> 00:17:12.200
 you might

00:17:12.200 --> 00:17:12.440
 say there's

00:17:12.440 --> 00:17:12.779
 lots of

00:17:12.779 --> 00:17:13.299
 good things

00:17:13.299 --> 00:17:13.960
 about Jesus

00:17:13.960 --> 00:17:15.039
 but when it

00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:15.380
 comes down

00:17:15.380 --> 00:17:15.620
 to the

00:17:15.620 --> 00:17:16.000
 crunch

00:17:16.000 --> 00:17:16.480
 when it

00:17:16.480 --> 00:17:16.779
 comes to

00:17:16.779 --> 00:17:17.440
 his death

00:17:17.440 --> 00:17:18.880
 your response

00:17:18.880 --> 00:17:19.299
 is

00:17:19.299 --> 00:17:21.299
 well if you

00:17:21.299 --> 00:17:21.720
 really want

00:17:21.720 --> 00:17:22.200
 to impress

00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:22.500
 me

00:17:22.500 --> 00:17:24.059
 do something

00:17:24.059 --> 00:17:24.519
 different

00:17:24.519 --> 00:17:27.079
 and in

00:17:27.079 --> 00:17:27.559
 fact what's

00:17:27.559 --> 00:17:27.960
 going on

00:17:27.960 --> 00:17:28.799
 here is

00:17:28.799 --> 00:17:29.960
 people

00:17:29.960 --> 00:17:30.759
 unwittingly

00:17:30.759 --> 00:17:31.299
 I think

00:17:31.299 --> 00:17:32.799
 are joining

00:17:32.799 --> 00:17:33.220
 in the

00:17:33.220 --> 00:17:33.720
 chorus

00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:35.579
 of Satan

00:17:35.579 --> 00:17:35.940
 and the

00:17:35.940 --> 00:17:36.579
 fallen angels

00:17:36.579 --> 00:17:37.099
 themselves

00:17:37.099 --> 00:17:38.879
 because right

00:17:38.879 --> 00:17:39.339
 back at the

00:17:39.339 --> 00:17:39.819
 beginning of

00:17:39.819 --> 00:17:40.440
 Mark's gospel

00:17:40.440 --> 00:17:41.119
 somebody has

00:17:41.119 --> 00:17:41.799
 said something

00:17:41.799 --> 00:17:42.419
 similar to

00:17:42.419 --> 00:17:43.279
 Jesus previously

00:17:43.279 --> 00:17:45.379
 the devil

00:17:45.379 --> 00:17:45.960
 has come to

00:17:45.960 --> 00:17:46.440
 Jesus to

00:17:46.440 --> 00:17:47.039
 tempt him

00:17:47.039 --> 00:17:48.019
 and one

00:17:48.019 --> 00:17:48.259
 of the

00:17:48.259 --> 00:17:48.799
 temptations

00:17:48.799 --> 00:17:49.119
 that was

00:17:49.119 --> 00:17:49.619
 put before

00:17:49.619 --> 00:17:50.019
 Jesus

00:17:50.019 --> 00:17:51.379
 was to

00:17:51.379 --> 00:17:51.980
 say simply

00:17:51.980 --> 00:17:52.279
 this

00:17:52.279 --> 00:17:52.879
 there is a

00:17:52.879 --> 00:17:53.740
 quick way

00:17:53.740 --> 00:17:54.240
 out

00:17:54.240 --> 00:17:57.000
 the devil

00:17:57.000 --> 00:17:57.339
 took him

00:17:57.339 --> 00:17:57.859
 to a pinnacle

00:17:57.859 --> 00:17:58.220
 of a high

00:17:58.220 --> 00:17:58.539
 mountain

00:17:58.539 --> 00:17:59.480
 and showed

00:17:59.480 --> 00:17:59.879
 him all the

00:17:59.879 --> 00:18:00.299
 nations of

00:18:00.299 --> 00:18:00.680
 the earth

00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:01.639
 and said

00:18:01.639 --> 00:18:01.839
 to him

00:18:01.839 --> 00:18:02.299
 all of this

00:18:02.299 --> 00:18:02.619
 can be

00:18:02.619 --> 00:18:03.139
 yours

00:18:03.139 --> 00:18:04.379
 if you

00:18:04.379 --> 00:18:04.639
 would just

00:18:04.639 --> 00:18:05.119
 bow before

00:18:05.119 --> 00:18:05.559
 me for a

00:18:05.559 --> 00:18:05.920
 moment

00:18:05.920 --> 00:18:07.619
 pay homage

00:18:07.619 --> 00:18:08.259
 to me

00:18:08.259 --> 00:18:09.599
 show your

00:18:09.599 --> 00:18:10.259
 loyalty to

00:18:10.259 --> 00:18:11.019
 my authority

00:18:11.019 --> 00:18:13.859
 and Jesus

00:18:13.859 --> 00:18:14.240
 of course

00:18:14.240 --> 00:18:14.859
 rejects the

00:18:14.859 --> 00:18:15.299
 temptation

00:18:15.299 --> 00:18:17.420
 he dismisses

00:18:17.420 --> 00:18:17.759
 Satan's

00:18:17.759 --> 00:18:18.160
 claims

00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:20.599
 and locks

00:18:20.599 --> 00:18:21.299
 himself in

00:18:21.299 --> 00:18:21.720
 to the

00:18:21.720 --> 00:18:22.259
 mission that's

00:18:22.259 --> 00:18:22.879
 before him

00:18:22.879 --> 00:18:24.680
 and this is

00:18:24.680 --> 00:18:25.039
 the great

00:18:25.039 --> 00:18:25.579
 temptation

00:18:25.579 --> 00:18:26.079
 that's always

00:18:26.079 --> 00:18:26.900
 before Jesus

00:18:26.900 --> 00:18:28.220
 that somehow

00:18:28.220 --> 00:18:29.220
 the glory

00:18:29.220 --> 00:18:29.639
 can be

00:18:29.639 --> 00:18:30.480
 achieved

00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:31.940
 without having

00:18:31.940 --> 00:18:32.619
 to do the

00:18:32.619 --> 00:18:33.480
 hard difficult

00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:34.779
 thing of

00:18:34.779 --> 00:18:35.400
 the cross

00:18:35.400 --> 00:18:38.259
 we'll believe

00:18:38.259 --> 00:18:38.779
 in you

00:18:38.779 --> 00:18:40.180
 if you'll

00:18:40.180 --> 00:18:40.599
 show us

00:18:40.599 --> 00:18:41.219
 the spectacle

00:18:41.219 --> 00:18:41.740
 of coming

00:18:41.740 --> 00:18:42.219
 down from

00:18:42.219 --> 00:18:42.719
 the cross

00:18:42.719 --> 00:18:44.740
 we'll

00:18:44.740 --> 00:18:45.379
 believe you

00:18:45.379 --> 00:18:45.819
 if you do

00:18:45.819 --> 00:18:46.539
 something truly

00:18:46.539 --> 00:18:47.379
 miraculous at

00:18:47.379 --> 00:18:47.919
 this moment

00:18:47.919 --> 00:18:48.759
 and that is

00:18:48.759 --> 00:18:49.599
 don't die

00:18:49.599 --> 00:18:50.519
 but rather

00:18:50.519 --> 00:18:51.159
 choose to

00:18:51.159 --> 00:18:51.539
 live

00:18:51.539 --> 00:18:52.799
 and these

00:18:52.799 --> 00:18:53.299
 words are

00:18:53.299 --> 00:18:53.919
 echoing in

00:18:53.919 --> 00:18:54.399
 the ears of

00:18:54.399 --> 00:18:54.919
 Jesus as

00:18:54.919 --> 00:18:55.539
 the darkness

00:18:55.539 --> 00:18:56.439
 descends over

00:18:56.439 --> 00:18:57.439
 him and

00:18:57.439 --> 00:18:58.079
 the father's

00:18:58.079 --> 00:18:58.559
 face is

00:18:58.559 --> 00:18:59.199
 turned away

00:18:59.199 --> 00:19:01.599
 there's an

00:19:01.599 --> 00:19:02.240
 easy way out

00:19:02.240 --> 00:19:02.740
 of this

00:19:02.740 --> 00:19:04.219
 you can have

00:19:04.219 --> 00:19:04.899
 our allegiance

00:19:04.899 --> 00:19:06.939
 if just

00:19:06.939 --> 00:19:07.859
 you would do

00:19:07.859 --> 00:19:08.859
 the opposite

00:19:08.859 --> 00:19:10.019
 to what

00:19:10.019 --> 00:19:10.279
 you have

00:19:10.279 --> 00:19:10.899
 agreed from

00:19:10.899 --> 00:19:11.439
 all eternity

00:19:11.439 --> 00:19:11.879
 to do

00:19:11.879 --> 00:19:14.299
 if only

00:19:14.299 --> 00:19:14.579
 you would

00:19:14.579 --> 00:19:14.959
 avoid

00:19:14.959 --> 00:19:16.019
 the shame

00:19:16.019 --> 00:19:16.839
 and the

00:19:16.839 --> 00:19:17.279
 derision

00:19:17.279 --> 00:19:18.139
 of the

00:19:18.139 --> 00:19:18.639
 cross

00:19:18.639 --> 00:19:20.179
 then we

00:19:20.179 --> 00:19:20.699
 would trust

00:19:20.699 --> 00:19:20.979
 you

00:19:20.979 --> 00:19:22.979
 and we

00:19:22.979 --> 00:19:23.359
 would love

00:19:23.359 --> 00:19:23.639
 you

00:19:23.639 --> 00:19:25.719
 and maybe

00:19:25.719 --> 00:19:26.119
 that's the

00:19:26.119 --> 00:19:26.379
 kind of

00:19:26.379 --> 00:19:26.719
 bargains

00:19:26.719 --> 00:19:26.979
 you want

00:19:26.979 --> 00:19:27.219
 to make

00:19:27.219 --> 00:19:27.639
 with Jesus

00:19:27.639 --> 00:19:28.000
 yourself

00:19:28.000 --> 00:19:28.339
 today

00:19:28.339 --> 00:19:30.259
 it's

00:19:30.259 --> 00:19:30.839
 often is

00:19:30.839 --> 00:19:31.219
 isn't it

00:19:31.219 --> 00:19:31.659
 so often

00:19:31.659 --> 00:19:31.919
 the way

00:19:31.919 --> 00:19:32.719
 we treat

00:19:32.719 --> 00:19:33.240
 God

00:19:33.240 --> 00:19:33.579
 we say

00:19:33.579 --> 00:19:33.779
 well

00:19:33.779 --> 00:19:34.740
 you give

00:19:34.740 --> 00:19:35.299
 me something

00:19:35.299 --> 00:19:35.759
 that I

00:19:35.759 --> 00:19:35.980
 want

00:19:35.980 --> 00:19:36.200
 some

00:19:36.200 --> 00:19:36.879
 spectacle

00:19:36.879 --> 00:19:37.339
 that I

00:19:37.339 --> 00:19:37.720
 want to

00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:37.940
 see

00:19:37.940 --> 00:19:38.339
 some

00:19:38.339 --> 00:19:39.819
 wonderful

00:19:39.819 --> 00:19:40.240
 thing

00:19:40.240 --> 00:19:40.519
 that's

00:19:40.519 --> 00:19:40.700
 just

00:19:40.700 --> 00:19:40.919
 going to

00:19:40.919 --> 00:19:41.039
 be

00:19:41.039 --> 00:19:41.279
 enough

00:19:41.279 --> 00:19:41.480
 to

00:19:41.480 --> 00:19:41.799
 convince

00:19:41.799 --> 00:19:42.000
 me

00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:42.159
 on

00:19:42.159 --> 00:19:42.480
 my

00:19:42.480 --> 00:19:43.139
 terms

00:19:43.139 --> 00:19:44.519
 and

00:19:44.519 --> 00:19:44.859
 then I

00:19:44.859 --> 00:19:45.000
 will

00:19:45.000 --> 00:19:45.259
 give

00:19:45.259 --> 00:19:45.419
 you

00:19:45.419 --> 00:19:45.659
 my

00:19:45.659 --> 00:19:46.059
 allegiance

00:19:46.059 --> 00:19:49.059
 and yet

00:19:49.059 --> 00:19:49.659
 tonight

00:19:49.659 --> 00:19:50.700
 what we're

00:19:50.700 --> 00:19:51.379
 reminded of

00:19:51.379 --> 00:19:51.859
 here is

00:19:51.859 --> 00:19:52.519
 that Jesus

00:19:52.519 --> 00:19:53.919
 demands

00:19:53.919 --> 00:19:54.339
 our

00:19:54.339 --> 00:19:54.879
 allegiance

00:19:54.879 --> 00:19:56.039
 because

00:19:56.039 --> 00:19:56.379
 of what

00:19:56.379 --> 00:19:56.740
 he has

00:19:56.740 --> 00:19:57.039
 done

00:19:57.039 --> 00:19:59.319
 because

00:19:59.319 --> 00:19:59.680
 he has

00:19:59.680 --> 00:20:00.200
 already

00:20:00.200 --> 00:20:01.039
 taken

00:20:01.039 --> 00:20:01.480
 our

00:20:01.480 --> 00:20:01.919
 sin

00:20:01.919 --> 00:20:02.259
 upon

00:20:02.259 --> 00:20:02.759
 himself

00:20:02.759 --> 00:20:04.059
 and

00:20:04.059 --> 00:20:04.240
 then

00:20:04.240 --> 00:20:04.660
 gone

00:20:04.660 --> 00:20:05.119
 to

00:20:05.119 --> 00:20:05.299
 the

00:20:05.299 --> 00:20:05.779
 cross

00:20:05.779 --> 00:20:06.200
 and

00:20:06.200 --> 00:20:06.500
 died

00:20:06.500 --> 00:20:06.640
 in

00:20:06.640 --> 00:20:06.799
 our

00:20:06.799 --> 00:20:07.279
 place

00:20:07.279 --> 00:20:08.319
 and

00:20:08.319 --> 00:20:08.539
 risen

00:20:08.539 --> 00:20:08.839
 again

00:20:08.839 --> 00:20:08.960
 on

00:20:08.960 --> 00:20:09.099
 the

00:20:09.099 --> 00:20:09.299
 third

00:20:09.299 --> 00:20:09.559
 day

00:20:09.559 --> 00:20:11.359
 the

00:20:11.359 --> 00:20:11.779
 victory

00:20:11.779 --> 00:20:12.019
 is

00:20:12.019 --> 00:20:12.339
 already

00:20:12.339 --> 00:20:12.859
 his

00:20:12.859 --> 00:20:15.400
 and

00:20:15.400 --> 00:20:15.640
 we

00:20:15.640 --> 00:20:16.359
 foolishly

00:20:16.359 --> 00:20:17.220
 sometimes

00:20:17.220 --> 00:20:18.619
 think

00:20:18.619 --> 00:20:18.920
 that we

00:20:18.920 --> 00:20:19.379
 can offer

00:20:19.379 --> 00:20:20.079
 some

00:20:20.079 --> 00:20:20.519
 alternative

00:20:20.519 --> 00:20:20.920
 route

00:20:20.920 --> 00:20:25.960
 the

00:20:25.960 --> 00:20:26.259
 crowd

00:20:26.259 --> 00:20:26.559
 you see

00:20:26.559 --> 00:20:27.000
 they want

00:20:27.000 --> 00:20:27.579
 the opposite

00:20:27.579 --> 00:20:27.980
 of what

00:20:27.980 --> 00:20:28.200
 God

00:20:28.200 --> 00:20:28.660
 wants

00:20:28.660 --> 00:20:30.980
 their

00:20:30.980 --> 00:20:31.359
 hearts

00:20:31.359 --> 00:20:31.740
 are not

00:20:31.740 --> 00:20:32.279
 aligned

00:20:32.279 --> 00:20:32.559
 to

00:20:32.559 --> 00:20:33.019
 God's

00:20:33.019 --> 00:20:33.279
 way

00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:34.920
 and

00:20:34.920 --> 00:20:35.079
 they

00:20:35.079 --> 00:20:35.519
 long

00:20:35.519 --> 00:20:36.119
 for

00:20:36.119 --> 00:20:36.819
 something

00:20:36.819 --> 00:20:37.779
 different

00:20:37.779 --> 00:20:43.819
 but

00:20:43.819 --> 00:20:44.180
 you know

00:20:44.180 --> 00:20:44.779
 their

00:20:44.779 --> 00:20:45.099
 jeers

00:20:45.099 --> 00:20:45.339
 also

00:20:45.339 --> 00:20:45.740
 tell us

00:20:45.740 --> 00:20:45.960
 something

00:20:45.960 --> 00:20:46.139
 of

00:20:46.139 --> 00:20:46.480
 hope

00:20:46.480 --> 00:20:48.599
 because

00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:48.899
 at

00:20:48.899 --> 00:20:49.059
 the

00:20:49.059 --> 00:20:49.399
 cross

00:20:49.399 --> 00:20:49.539
 and

00:20:49.539 --> 00:20:49.639
 in

00:20:49.639 --> 00:20:49.839
 the

00:20:49.839 --> 00:20:50.220
 agony

00:20:50.220 --> 00:20:50.579
 of

00:20:50.579 --> 00:20:50.759
 the

00:20:50.759 --> 00:20:51.240
 cross

00:20:51.240 --> 00:20:52.339
 and

00:20:52.339 --> 00:20:52.460
 in

00:20:52.460 --> 00:20:52.599
 the

00:20:52.599 --> 00:20:52.940
 agony

00:20:52.940 --> 00:20:53.160
 of

00:20:53.160 --> 00:20:53.980
 experiencing

00:20:53.980 --> 00:20:54.700
 the

00:20:54.700 --> 00:20:55.259
 rejection

00:20:55.259 --> 00:20:55.700
 of

00:20:55.700 --> 00:20:55.839
 the

00:20:55.839 --> 00:20:56.220
 father

00:20:56.220 --> 00:20:57.099
 the

00:20:57.099 --> 00:20:57.420
 agony

00:20:57.420 --> 00:20:57.619
 that

00:20:57.619 --> 00:20:58.039
 finds

00:20:58.039 --> 00:20:58.220
 its

00:20:58.220 --> 00:20:58.839
 culmination

00:20:58.839 --> 00:20:58.960
 in

00:20:58.960 --> 00:20:59.099
 that

00:20:59.099 --> 00:20:59.299
 verse

00:20:59.299 --> 00:20:59.420
 we

00:20:59.420 --> 00:20:59.539
 were

00:20:59.539 --> 00:20:59.879
 considering

00:20:59.879 --> 00:21:00.119
 this

00:21:00.119 --> 00:21:00.359
 morning

00:21:00.359 --> 00:21:00.579
 my

00:21:00.579 --> 00:21:00.839
 God

00:21:00.839 --> 00:21:01.019
 my

00:21:01.019 --> 00:21:01.240
 God

00:21:01.240 --> 00:21:01.440
 why

00:21:01.440 --> 00:21:01.579
 have

00:21:01.579 --> 00:21:01.660
 you

00:21:01.660 --> 00:21:02.119
 forsaken

00:21:02.119 --> 00:21:02.399
 me

00:21:02.399 --> 00:21:04.799
 Jesus

00:21:04.799 --> 00:21:06.059
 chose

00:21:06.059 --> 00:21:07.799
 not

00:21:07.799 --> 00:21:08.479
 to

00:21:08.479 --> 00:21:08.979
 listen

00:21:08.979 --> 00:21:10.259
 to

00:21:10.259 --> 00:21:10.439
 the

00:21:10.439 --> 00:21:10.979
 jeers

00:21:10.979 --> 00:21:12.699
 of

00:21:12.699 --> 00:21:12.839
 the

00:21:12.839 --> 00:21:13.119
 crowd

00:21:13.119 --> 00:21:15.899
 he

00:21:15.899 --> 00:21:16.379
 chose

00:21:16.379 --> 00:21:17.079
 not

00:21:17.079 --> 00:21:17.359
 to

00:21:17.359 --> 00:21:17.739
 listen

00:21:17.739 --> 00:21:19.000
 to

00:21:19.000 --> 00:21:19.219
 the

00:21:19.219 --> 00:21:20.319
 chief

00:21:20.319 --> 00:21:20.859
 priests

00:21:20.859 --> 00:21:22.219
 and

00:21:22.219 --> 00:21:22.399
 the

00:21:22.399 --> 00:21:22.879
 scribes

00:21:22.879 --> 00:21:22.979
 and

00:21:22.979 --> 00:21:23.099
 the

00:21:23.099 --> 00:21:23.779
 Pharisees

00:21:23.779 --> 00:21:25.839
 he

00:21:25.839 --> 00:21:26.279
 chose

00:21:26.279 --> 00:21:26.899
 rather

00:21:26.899 --> 00:21:27.539
 obedience

00:21:27.539 --> 00:21:28.799
 to

00:21:28.799 --> 00:21:28.939
 the

00:21:28.939 --> 00:21:29.299
 mission

00:21:29.299 --> 00:21:29.599
 that

00:21:29.599 --> 00:21:29.679
 he

00:21:29.679 --> 00:21:30.039
 had

00:21:30.039 --> 00:21:30.879
 from

00:21:30.879 --> 00:21:31.039
 the

00:21:31.039 --> 00:21:31.359
 father

00:21:31.359 --> 00:21:33.539
 and

00:21:33.539 --> 00:21:33.740
 that

00:21:33.740 --> 00:21:34.179
 tonight

00:21:34.179 --> 00:21:34.379
 is

00:21:34.379 --> 00:21:34.619
 where

00:21:34.619 --> 00:21:34.939
 our

00:21:34.939 --> 00:21:35.500
 salvation

00:21:35.500 --> 00:21:36.299
 ultimately

00:21:36.299 --> 00:21:37.079
 lies

00:21:37.079 --> 00:21:38.279
 that

00:21:38.279 --> 00:21:38.679
 Jesus

00:21:38.679 --> 00:21:39.459
 did

00:21:39.459 --> 00:21:42.459
 what

00:21:42.459 --> 00:21:42.599
 was

00:21:42.599 --> 00:21:43.299
 necessary

00:21:43.299 --> 00:21:44.919
 for

00:21:44.919 --> 00:21:45.219
 your

00:21:45.219 --> 00:21:45.679
 salvation

00:21:45.679 --> 00:21:45.899
 and

00:21:45.899 --> 00:21:46.099
 mine

00:21:46.099 --> 00:21:47.819
 that

00:21:47.819 --> 00:21:47.979
 at

00:21:47.979 --> 00:21:48.139
 the

00:21:48.139 --> 00:21:48.699
 cross

00:21:48.699 --> 00:21:49.939
 the

00:21:49.939 --> 00:21:50.319
 blood

00:21:50.319 --> 00:21:50.819
 price

00:21:50.819 --> 00:21:51.000
 of

00:21:51.000 --> 00:21:51.559
 salvation

00:21:51.559 --> 00:21:51.819
 of

00:21:51.819 --> 00:21:52.339
 forgiveness

00:21:52.339 --> 00:21:53.539
 of

00:21:53.539 --> 00:21:54.299
 atonement

00:21:54.299 --> 00:21:55.759
 of

00:21:55.759 --> 00:21:56.779
 propitiation

00:21:56.779 --> 00:21:58.299
 the

00:21:58.299 --> 00:21:58.779
 covering

00:21:58.779 --> 00:21:59.019
 of

00:21:59.019 --> 00:21:59.200
 our

00:21:59.200 --> 00:21:59.599
 sin

00:21:59.599 --> 00:22:00.299
 it

00:22:00.299 --> 00:22:00.500
 was

00:22:00.500 --> 00:22:01.059
 done

00:22:01.059 --> 00:22:01.660
 in

00:22:01.660 --> 00:22:02.399
 completeness

00:22:02.399 --> 00:22:02.740
 by

00:22:02.740 --> 00:22:03.160
 Jesus

00:22:03.160 --> 00:22:04.700
 and

00:22:04.700 --> 00:22:04.819
 he

00:22:04.819 --> 00:22:05.220
 chose

00:22:05.220 --> 00:22:05.399
 to

00:22:05.399 --> 00:22:05.579
 do

00:22:05.579 --> 00:22:05.839
 it

00:22:05.839 --> 00:22:07.799
 he

00:22:07.799 --> 00:22:08.099
 chose

00:22:08.099 --> 00:22:08.399
 at that

00:22:08.399 --> 00:22:08.619
 moment

00:22:08.619 --> 00:22:08.879
 not

00:22:08.879 --> 00:22:09.079
 to

00:22:09.079 --> 00:22:09.619
 unleash

00:22:09.619 --> 00:22:10.200
 the

00:22:10.200 --> 00:22:10.599
 legions

00:22:10.599 --> 00:22:10.759
 of

00:22:10.759 --> 00:22:11.079
 angels

00:22:11.079 --> 00:22:11.259

00:22:12.940 --> 00:22:13.099
 the

00:22:13.099 --> 00:22:13.240
 son

00:22:13.240 --> 00:22:13.379
 of

00:22:13.379 --> 00:22:13.559
 God

00:22:13.559 --> 00:22:13.680
 is

00:22:13.680 --> 00:22:13.839
 about

00:22:13.839 --> 00:22:13.960
 to

00:22:13.960 --> 00:22:14.079
 go

00:22:14.079 --> 00:22:14.259
 through

 all

 not

00:22:16.759 --> 00:22:17.039
 to

00:22:17.039 --> 00:22:17.819
 abandon

00:22:17.819 --> 00:22:18.039
 the

00:22:18.039 --> 00:22:18.319
 mission

00:22:18.319 --> 00:22:18.480
 that

00:22:18.480 --> 00:22:18.599
 the

00:22:18.599 --> 00:22:18.859
 father

00:22:18.859 --> 00:22:19.059
 has

00:22:19.059 --> 00:22:19.279
 given

00:22:19.279 --> 00:22:19.539
 him

00:22:22.099 --> 00:22:22.619
 chose

00:22:22.619 --> 00:22:22.619


00:22:22.619 --> 00:22:22.839
 to

00:22:22.839 --> 00:22:23.259
 suffer

00:22:23.259 --> 00:22:23.619
 and

00:22:56.160 --> 00:22:56.940
 probably

00:22:56.940 --> 00:22:57.420
 Italian

00:22:57.420 --> 00:22:57.779
 probably

00:22:57.779 --> 00:22:58.100
 Roman

00:22:58.100 --> 00:22:58.720
 in

00:22:58.720 --> 00:22:58.920
 fact

00:22:58.920 --> 00:22:59.120
 from

00:22:59.120 --> 00:22:59.259
 the

00:22:59.259 --> 00:22:59.440
 city

00:22:59.440 --> 00:22:59.600
 of

00:22:59.600 --> 00:22:59.720
 Rome

00:22:59.720 --> 00:23:00.100
 itself

00:23:00.100 --> 00:23:01.539
 and

00:23:01.539 --> 00:23:01.819
 Mark

00:23:01.819 --> 00:23:01.960
 is

00:23:01.960 --> 00:23:02.160
 it's

00:23:02.160 --> 00:23:02.539
 interesting

00:23:02.539 --> 00:23:02.779
 actually

00:23:02.779 --> 00:23:02.920
 to

00:23:02.920 --> 00:23:03.100
 read

00:23:03.100 --> 00:23:03.259
 this

00:23:03.259 --> 00:23:03.480
 because

00:23:03.480 --> 00:23:03.799
 Mark

00:23:03.799 --> 00:23:03.940
 is

00:23:03.940 --> 00:23:04.340
 writing

00:23:04.340 --> 00:23:05.120
 probably

00:23:05.120 --> 00:23:05.980
 in

00:23:05.980 --> 00:23:06.799
 dependence

00:23:06.799 --> 00:23:07.120
 on

00:23:07.120 --> 00:23:08.259
 Peter's

00:23:08.259 --> 00:23:08.779
 own

00:23:08.779 --> 00:23:09.160
 eyewitness

00:23:09.160 --> 00:23:09.620
 events

00:23:09.620 --> 00:23:10.340
 of these

00:23:10.340 --> 00:23:10.680
 events

00:23:10.680 --> 00:23:11.120
 and Peter

00:23:11.120 --> 00:23:12.039
 is

00:23:12.039 --> 00:23:12.440
 probably

00:23:12.440 --> 00:23:12.980
 ministering

00:23:12.980 --> 00:23:13.120
 in

00:23:13.120 --> 00:23:13.299
 Rome

00:23:13.299 --> 00:23:13.640
 itself

00:23:13.640 --> 00:23:13.799
 at

00:23:13.799 --> 00:23:13.960
 this

00:23:13.960 --> 00:23:14.259
 point

00:23:14.259 --> 00:23:14.960
 and

00:23:14.960 --> 00:23:15.240
 so

00:23:15.240 --> 00:23:15.880
 Mark

00:23:15.880 --> 00:23:16.039
 is

00:23:16.039 --> 00:23:16.480
 writing

00:23:16.480 --> 00:23:17.039
 chiefly

00:23:17.039 --> 00:23:17.180
 I

00:23:17.180 --> 00:23:17.319
 think

00:23:17.319 --> 00:23:17.700
 for

00:23:17.700 --> 00:23:18.660
 a

00:23:18.660 --> 00:23:18.960
 Roman

00:23:18.960 --> 00:23:19.700
 audience

00:23:19.700 --> 00:23:21.019
 and

00:23:21.019 --> 00:23:21.140
 so

00:23:21.140 --> 00:23:21.259
 it's

00:23:21.259 --> 00:23:21.600
 interesting

00:23:21.600 --> 00:23:21.740
 that

00:23:21.740 --> 00:23:21.900
 he

00:23:21.900 --> 00:23:22.299
 highlights

00:23:22.299 --> 00:23:22.480
 at

00:23:22.480 --> 00:23:22.599
 the

00:23:22.599 --> 00:23:22.880
 cross

00:23:22.880 --> 00:23:23.599
 this

00:23:23.599 --> 00:23:24.059
 Roman

00:23:24.059 --> 00:23:24.779
 centurion

00:23:24.779 --> 00:23:26.319
 and

00:23:26.319 --> 00:23:27.680
 these

00:23:27.680 --> 00:23:28.120
 Gentile

00:23:28.120 --> 00:23:28.539
 Christians

00:23:28.539 --> 00:23:28.980
 hear about

00:23:28.980 --> 00:23:29.140
 a

00:23:29.140 --> 00:23:29.559
 Gentile

00:23:29.559 --> 00:23:30.319
 convert

00:23:30.319 --> 00:23:31.120
 at

00:23:31.120 --> 00:23:31.259
 the

00:23:31.259 --> 00:23:31.680
 cross

00:23:31.680 --> 00:23:34.380
 what

00:23:34.380 --> 00:23:34.620
 Mark

00:23:34.620 --> 00:23:35.120
 tells us

00:23:35.120 --> 00:23:35.440
 simply

00:23:35.440 --> 00:23:35.880
 is this

00:23:35.880 --> 00:23:36.180
 that

00:23:36.180 --> 00:23:37.140
 the

00:23:37.140 --> 00:23:37.519
 Roman

00:23:37.519 --> 00:23:38.440
 centurion

00:23:38.440 --> 00:23:40.200
 believed

00:23:40.200 --> 00:23:42.400
 the

00:23:42.400 --> 00:23:42.559
 reason

00:23:42.559 --> 00:23:42.400
 the

00:23:42.400 --> 00:23:42.559
 reason

00:23:42.559 --> 00:23:42.700
 we

00:23:42.700 --> 00:23:42.819
 can

00:23:42.819 --> 00:23:43.039
 say

00:23:43.039 --> 00:23:43.220
 that

00:23:43.220 --> 00:23:43.340
 is

00:23:43.340 --> 00:23:43.580
 because

00:23:43.580 --> 00:23:43.779
 the

00:23:43.779 --> 00:23:44.000
 Roman

00:23:44.000 --> 00:23:44.799
 centurion

00:23:44.799 --> 00:23:48.059
 expresses

00:23:48.059 --> 00:23:49.660
 a

00:23:49.660 --> 00:23:50.160
 statement

00:23:50.160 --> 00:23:50.720
 that

00:23:50.720 --> 00:23:52.160
 nature

00:23:52.160 --> 00:23:52.460
 does

00:23:52.460 --> 00:23:52.660
 not

00:23:52.660 --> 00:23:53.019
 reveal

00:23:53.019 --> 00:23:54.840
 when

00:23:54.840 --> 00:23:54.960
 the

00:23:54.960 --> 00:23:55.440
 centurion

00:23:55.440 --> 00:23:55.759
 says

00:23:55.759 --> 00:23:56.120
 truly

00:23:56.120 --> 00:23:56.360
 this

00:23:56.360 --> 00:23:56.500
 was

00:23:56.500 --> 00:23:56.640
 the

00:23:56.640 --> 00:23:56.779
 son

00:23:56.779 --> 00:23:56.920
 of

00:23:56.920 --> 00:23:57.279
 God

00:23:57.279 --> 00:23:59.759
 that's

00:23:59.759 --> 00:24:00.160
 telling us

00:24:00.160 --> 00:24:00.380
 something

00:24:00.380 --> 00:24:00.640
 about

00:24:00.640 --> 00:24:00.819
 his

00:24:00.819 --> 00:24:01.039
 heart

00:24:01.039 --> 00:24:01.380
 he is

00:24:01.380 --> 00:24:02.220
 confessing

00:24:02.220 --> 00:24:03.120
 the

00:24:03.120 --> 00:24:03.580
 lordship

00:24:03.580 --> 00:24:03.759
 of

00:24:03.759 --> 00:24:04.080
 Jesus

00:24:04.079 --> 00:24:06.960
 he's

00:24:06.960 --> 00:24:07.299
 probably

00:24:07.299 --> 00:24:07.559
 a

00:24:07.559 --> 00:24:08.000
 centurion

00:24:08.000 --> 00:24:08.179
 who

00:24:08.179 --> 00:24:08.359
 has

00:24:08.359 --> 00:24:09.079
 been

00:24:09.079 --> 00:24:09.519
 involved

00:24:09.519 --> 00:24:09.960
 earlier

00:24:09.960 --> 00:24:10.259
 in the

00:24:10.259 --> 00:24:10.439
 day

00:24:10.439 --> 00:24:10.740
 in the

00:24:10.740 --> 00:24:11.019
 mocking

00:24:11.019 --> 00:24:11.220
 of

00:24:11.220 --> 00:24:11.480
 Jesus

00:24:11.480 --> 00:24:11.679
 when

00:24:11.679 --> 00:24:11.740
 he

00:24:11.740 --> 00:24:11.859
 was

00:24:11.859 --> 00:24:12.019
 handed

00:24:12.019 --> 00:24:12.220
 over

00:24:12.220 --> 00:24:12.319
 to

00:24:12.319 --> 00:24:12.419
 the

00:24:12.419 --> 00:24:12.559
 Roman

00:24:12.559 --> 00:24:13.019
 garrison

00:24:13.019 --> 00:24:13.359
 in

00:24:13.359 --> 00:24:13.439
 the

00:24:13.439 --> 00:24:13.899
 praetorium

00:24:13.899 --> 00:24:15.599
 he's

00:24:15.599 --> 00:24:16.039
 probably

00:24:16.039 --> 00:24:16.439
 actually

00:24:16.439 --> 00:24:16.659
 been

00:24:16.659 --> 00:24:16.879
 there

00:24:16.879 --> 00:24:17.059
 for

00:24:17.059 --> 00:24:17.319
 part

00:24:17.319 --> 00:24:17.379
 of

00:24:17.379 --> 00:24:17.500
 the

00:24:17.500 --> 00:24:17.799
 trial

00:24:17.799 --> 00:24:18.039
 he's

00:24:18.039 --> 00:24:18.179
 been

00:24:18.179 --> 00:24:18.519
 standing

00:24:18.519 --> 00:24:18.859
 close

00:24:18.859 --> 00:24:19.139
 by

00:24:19.139 --> 00:24:19.500
 Pontius

00:24:19.500 --> 00:24:19.839
 Pilate

00:24:19.839 --> 00:24:20.039
 all

00:24:20.039 --> 00:24:20.279
 day

00:24:20.279 --> 00:24:21.220
 and

00:24:21.220 --> 00:24:21.439
 he's

00:24:21.439 --> 00:24:21.759
 heard

00:24:21.759 --> 00:24:22.000
 the

00:24:22.000 --> 00:24:22.319
 trial

00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:22.500
 of

00:24:22.500 --> 00:24:22.779
 Jesus

00:24:22.779 --> 00:24:23.439
 he's

00:24:23.439 --> 00:24:23.659
 heard

00:24:23.659 --> 00:24:23.799
 the

00:24:23.799 --> 00:24:24.259
 allegations

00:24:24.259 --> 00:24:24.500
 that

00:24:24.500 --> 00:24:24.599
 were

00:24:24.599 --> 00:24:24.779
 made

00:24:24.779 --> 00:24:25.099
 against

00:24:25.099 --> 00:24:25.299
 him

00:24:25.299 --> 00:24:25.539
 he's

00:24:25.539 --> 00:24:25.779
 heard

00:24:25.779 --> 00:24:26.000
 the

00:24:26.000 --> 00:24:26.299
 false

00:24:26.299 --> 00:24:26.839
 allegations

00:24:26.839 --> 00:24:27.519
 like

00:24:27.519 --> 00:24:27.940
 Pilate

00:24:27.940 --> 00:24:28.200
 he's

00:24:28.200 --> 00:24:28.660
 recognized

00:24:28.660 --> 00:24:29.700
 probably

00:24:29.700 --> 00:24:30.420
 that

00:24:30.420 --> 00:24:31.240
 there

00:24:31.240 --> 00:24:31.400
 is

00:24:31.400 --> 00:24:31.940
 falsehood

00:24:31.940 --> 00:24:32.160
 and

00:24:32.160 --> 00:24:32.660
 lies

00:24:32.660 --> 00:24:32.920
 been

00:24:32.920 --> 00:24:33.319
 spun

00:24:33.319 --> 00:24:33.539
 by

00:24:33.539 --> 00:24:33.700
 the

00:24:33.700 --> 00:24:33.879
 chief

00:24:33.879 --> 00:24:34.180
 priests

00:24:34.180 --> 00:24:34.339
 who

00:24:34.339 --> 00:24:34.440
 out

00:24:34.440 --> 00:24:34.539
 of

00:24:34.539 --> 00:24:34.779
 envy

00:24:34.779 --> 00:24:35.039
 want

00:24:35.039 --> 00:24:35.220
 rid

00:24:35.220 --> 00:24:35.359
 of

00:24:35.359 --> 00:24:35.779
 Jesus

00:24:35.779 --> 00:24:38.940
 but

00:24:38.940 --> 00:24:39.139
 what

00:24:39.139 --> 00:24:39.539
 really

00:24:39.539 --> 00:24:40.160
 convinces

00:24:40.160 --> 00:24:40.359
 him

00:24:40.359 --> 00:24:40.480
 in

00:24:40.480 --> 00:24:40.599
 the

00:24:40.599 --> 00:24:41.139
 end

00:24:41.139 --> 00:24:41.879
 is

00:24:41.879 --> 00:24:42.099
 not

00:24:42.099 --> 00:24:42.420
 the

00:24:42.420 --> 00:24:43.440
 unjustness

00:24:43.440 --> 00:24:43.579
 of

00:24:43.579 --> 00:24:43.720
 what

00:24:43.720 --> 00:24:43.799
 he

00:24:43.799 --> 00:24:43.940
 has

00:24:43.940 --> 00:24:44.079
 seen

00:24:44.079 --> 00:24:44.200
 in

00:24:44.200 --> 00:24:44.299
 the

00:24:44.299 --> 00:24:44.639
 trial

00:24:44.639 --> 00:24:45.920
 it

00:24:45.920 --> 00:24:46.059
 is

00:24:46.059 --> 00:24:46.240
 the

00:24:46.240 --> 00:24:46.579
 manner

00:24:46.579 --> 00:24:47.139
 of

 awful

00:25:21.539 --> 00:25:21.980
 way

00:25:21.980 --> 00:25:23.880
 he

00:25:27.220 --> 00:25:27.380
 at

00:25:27.380 --> 00:25:27.500
 the

 this

00:25:29.839 --> 00:25:30.059
 is

 of

00:25:30.579 --> 00:25:30.920
 God

00:25:30.920 --> 00:25:32.460
 these

00:25:32.460 --> 00:25:32.600
 are

00:25:32.600 --> 00:25:32.839
 not

00:25:32.839 --> 00:25:33.420
 natural

00:25:33.420 --> 00:25:33.779
 words

00:25:33.779 --> 00:25:33.920
 for

00:25:35.079 --> 00:25:35.960
 they're

00:25:35.960 --> 00:25:36.640
 far

00:25:36.640 --> 00:25:37.059
 outside

00:25:37.059 --> 00:25:37.299
 his

00:25:37.299 --> 00:25:37.880
 experience

00:25:37.880 --> 00:25:40.180
 and

00:25:40.180 --> 00:25:40.400
 so we

00:25:40.400 --> 00:25:40.559
 have

00:25:40.559 --> 00:25:40.680
 to

00:25:40.680 --> 00:25:40.940
 ask

 what's

00:25:41.660 --> 00:25:42.180
 persuaded

00:25:42.180 --> 00:25:42.420
 him

 what's

00:25:42.740 --> 00:25:43.079
 changed

00:25:43.079 --> 00:25:43.279
 his

00:25:43.279 --> 00:25:43.720
 mind

00:25:43.720 --> 00:25:44.799
 what's

00:25:44.799 --> 00:25:44.920
 he

00:25:44.920 --> 00:25:45.759
 recognized

00:25:45.759 --> 00:25:50.559
 and

00:25:50.559 --> 00:25:50.700
 he

00:25:50.700 --> 00:25:51.299
 recognizes

00:25:51.299 --> 00:25:51.319
!

00:25:51.319 --> 00:25:51.940
 simply

00:25:51.940 --> 00:25:52.860
 Jesus

00:25:52.860 --> 00:25:56.839
 that

00:25:56.839 --> 00:25:57.159
 Jesus

00:25:57.159 --> 00:25:57.339
 at

00:25:57.339 --> 00:25:57.500
 the

00:25:57.500 --> 00:25:57.899
 cross

00:25:57.899 --> 00:25:58.839
 does

00:25:58.839 --> 00:25:59.539
 something

00:25:59.539 --> 00:26:00.980
 messianic

00:26:00.980 --> 00:26:02.980
 that

00:26:02.980 --> 00:26:03.299
 Jesus

00:26:03.299 --> 00:26:03.500
 at

00:26:03.500 --> 00:26:03.639
 the

00:26:03.639 --> 00:26:03.899
 cross

00:26:03.899 --> 00:26:04.279
 does

00:26:04.279 --> 00:26:04.819
 something

00:26:04.819 --> 00:26:05.480
 that

00:26:05.480 --> 00:26:06.139
 matters

00:26:06.139 --> 00:26:07.619
 something

00:26:07.619 --> 00:26:07.899
 that

00:26:07.899 --> 00:26:08.519
 demands

00:26:08.519 --> 00:26:09.099
 his

00:26:09.099 --> 00:26:09.699
 attention

00:26:09.699 --> 00:26:10.720
 that

00:26:10.720 --> 00:26:11.319
 demands

00:26:11.319 --> 00:26:11.779
 his

00:26:11.779 --> 00:26:12.419
 allegiance

00:26:12.419 --> 00:26:13.619
 that

00:26:13.619 --> 00:26:14.159
 demands

00:26:14.159 --> 00:26:15.000
 things

00:26:15.000 --> 00:26:15.319
 in his

00:26:15.319 --> 00:26:15.619
 life

00:26:15.619 --> 00:26:16.039
 not

00:26:16.039 --> 00:26:16.220
 be

00:26:16.220 --> 00:26:16.399
 the

00:26:16.399 --> 00:26:16.599
 same

00:26:16.599 --> 00:26:16.980
 again

00:26:16.980 --> 00:26:18.579
 and

00:26:18.579 --> 00:26:18.720
 he

00:26:18.720 --> 00:26:19.459
 confesses

00:26:19.459 --> 00:26:20.000
 truly

00:26:20.000 --> 00:26:21.000
 this

00:26:21.000 --> 00:26:21.659
 was

00:26:21.659 --> 00:26:22.359
 the

 son

00:26:22.539 --> 00:26:22.699
 of

00:26:22.699 --> 00:26:23.059
 God

00:26:23.059 --> 00:26:26.279
 and

00:26:26.279 --> 00:26:26.459
 so

00:26:26.460 --> 00:26:27.160
 in

00:26:27.160 --> 00:26:27.539
 Mark's

00:26:27.539 --> 00:26:27.840
 gospel

00:26:27.840 --> 00:26:28.519
 we

00:26:28.519 --> 00:26:28.700
 have

00:26:28.700 --> 00:26:28.860
 a

00:26:28.860 --> 00:26:29.279
 story

00:26:29.279 --> 00:26:30.579
 at

00:26:30.579 --> 00:26:30.740
 the

00:26:30.740 --> 00:26:31.100
 cross

00:26:31.100 --> 00:26:31.660
 itself

00:26:31.660 --> 00:26:32.079
 of

00:26:32.079 --> 00:26:32.500
 someone

00:26:32.500 --> 00:26:32.740
 who

00:26:32.740 --> 00:26:33.220
 came

00:26:33.220 --> 00:26:33.640
 to

00:26:33.640 --> 00:26:34.299
 faith

00:26:34.299 --> 00:26:35.319
 seeing

 tonight

00:26:38.880 --> 00:26:39.019
 I

 would

00:26:39.140 --> 00:26:39.440
 ask

00:26:43.500 --> 00:26:43.840
 simply

00:26:43.840 --> 00:26:44.059
 be

00:26:44.900 --> 00:26:45.340
 someone

00:26:45.340 --> 00:26:45.799
 would

00:26:45.799 --> 00:26:46.200
 die

00:26:46.200 --> 00:26:46.460
 for

 say

 done

00:29:13.120 --> 00:29:13.240
 for

00:29:13.240 --> 00:29:13.320
 him

00:29:13.320 --> 00:29:13.420
 in

00:29:13.420 --> 00:29:13.740
 life

00:29:13.740 --> 00:29:15.600
 and

00:29:15.600 --> 00:29:16.740
 what's

00:29:16.740 --> 00:29:17.380
 remarkable

00:29:17.380 --> 00:29:17.900
 is

00:29:17.900 --> 00:29:18.200
 that

00:29:18.200 --> 00:29:19.140
 Mark

00:29:19.140 --> 00:29:19.820
 chooses

00:29:19.820 --> 00:29:20.880
 and again

00:29:20.880 --> 00:29:21.360
 we can't

00:29:21.360 --> 00:29:21.600
 say that

00:29:21.600 --> 00:29:21.880
 this is

00:29:21.880 --> 00:29:22.259
 Mark's

00:29:22.259 --> 00:29:22.380
 doing

00:29:22.380 --> 00:29:22.620
 it's

00:29:22.620 --> 00:29:23.019
 God's

00:29:23.019 --> 00:29:23.240
 doing

00:29:23.240 --> 00:29:23.420
 so

00:29:23.420 --> 00:29:23.900
 God

00:29:23.900 --> 00:29:24.380
 chooses

00:29:24.380 --> 00:29:26.200
 to rely

00:29:26.200 --> 00:29:26.620
 on the

00:29:26.620 --> 00:29:27.180
 witness

00:29:27.180 --> 00:29:28.660
 of these

00:29:28.660 --> 00:29:30.700
 worthless

00:29:30.700 --> 00:29:31.500
 witnesses

00:29:31.500 --> 00:29:31.539
!

00:29:32.759 --> 00:29:33.080
 Women

00:29:33.080 --> 00:29:33.340
 whose

00:29:33.340 --> 00:29:33.920
 testimony

00:29:33.920 --> 00:29:34.360
 can be

00:29:34.360 --> 00:29:34.920
 refuted

00:29:34.920 --> 00:29:35.980
 by the

00:29:35.980 --> 00:29:36.380
 testimony

00:29:36.380 --> 00:29:36.720
 of a

00:29:36.720 --> 00:29:36.980
 man

00:29:36.980 --> 00:29:39.300
 they can

00:29:39.300 --> 00:29:40.160
 be overruled

00:29:40.160 --> 00:29:40.640
 easily

00:29:40.640 --> 00:29:40.960
 and what

00:29:40.960 --> 00:29:41.480
 they claim

00:29:41.480 --> 00:29:42.380
 and yet

00:29:42.380 --> 00:29:42.840
 they are

00:29:42.840 --> 00:29:43.480
 the ones

00:29:43.480 --> 00:29:44.960
 who remember

00:29:44.960 --> 00:29:45.280
 where the

00:29:45.280 --> 00:29:45.680
 body of

00:29:45.680 --> 00:29:45.900
 Jesus

00:29:45.900 --> 00:29:46.280
 has been

00:29:46.280 --> 00:29:46.580
 laid

00:29:46.580 --> 00:29:48.360
 they are

00:29:48.360 --> 00:29:48.700
 the ones

00:29:48.700 --> 00:29:49.060
 who go

00:29:49.060 --> 00:29:49.580
 early in

00:29:49.580 --> 00:29:49.880
 the morning

00:29:49.880 --> 00:29:50.140
 on the

00:29:50.140 --> 00:29:50.480
 first day

00:29:50.480 --> 00:29:50.700
 of the

00:29:50.700 --> 00:29:50.940
 week

00:29:50.940 --> 00:29:52.480
 and they

00:29:52.480 --> 00:29:52.700
 are the

00:29:52.700 --> 00:29:52.940
 ones

00:29:52.940 --> 00:29:53.560
 who see

00:29:53.560 --> 00:29:55.220
 the evidence

00:29:55.220 --> 00:29:55.540
 of the

00:29:55.540 --> 00:29:56.060
 resurrection

00:29:56.059 --> 00:29:59.480
 they see

00:29:59.480 --> 00:30:00.200
 the victory

00:30:00.200 --> 00:30:01.200
 of Jesus

00:30:01.200 --> 00:30:02.839
 over death

00:30:02.839 --> 00:30:03.399
 itself

00:30:03.399 --> 00:30:05.759
 and they

00:30:05.759 --> 00:30:06.220
 go away

00:30:06.220 --> 00:30:06.940
 and testify

00:30:06.940 --> 00:30:07.659
 to this

00:30:07.659 --> 00:30:09.819
 they tell

00:30:09.819 --> 00:30:10.279
 the

00:30:10.279 --> 00:30:10.799
 disciples

00:30:10.799 --> 00:30:12.720
 and the

00:30:12.720 --> 00:30:13.240
 disciples

00:30:13.240 --> 00:30:14.399
 tell

00:30:14.399 --> 00:30:15.480
 the world

00:30:15.480 --> 00:30:17.859
 and so I

00:30:17.859 --> 00:30:18.039
 want to

00:30:18.039 --> 00:30:18.519
 encourage you

00:30:18.519 --> 00:30:18.779
 tonight

00:30:18.779 --> 00:30:19.119
 because

00:30:19.119 --> 00:30:20.440
 these are

00:30:20.440 --> 00:30:20.740
 some of

00:30:20.740 --> 00:30:21.000
 the most

00:30:21.000 --> 00:30:21.619
 I think

00:30:21.619 --> 00:30:21.980
 interesting

00:30:21.980 --> 00:30:22.440
 people at

00:30:22.440 --> 00:30:22.879
 the cross

00:30:22.880 --> 00:30:24.860
 people who

00:30:24.860 --> 00:30:25.240
 feel

00:30:25.240 --> 00:30:25.900
 themselves

00:30:25.900 --> 00:30:27.040
 really

00:30:27.040 --> 00:30:27.520
 worthless

00:30:27.520 --> 00:30:29.800
 people who

00:30:29.800 --> 00:30:30.280
 don't think

00:30:30.280 --> 00:30:30.760
 of themselves

00:30:30.760 --> 00:30:31.120
 as being

00:30:31.120 --> 00:30:31.660
 the best

00:30:31.660 --> 00:30:32.740
 communicators

00:30:32.740 --> 00:30:33.000
 of the

00:30:33.000 --> 00:30:33.360
 gospel

00:30:33.360 --> 00:30:33.840
 the best

00:30:33.840 --> 00:30:34.220
 witnesses

00:30:34.220 --> 00:30:34.880
 for Christ

00:30:34.880 --> 00:30:35.700
 they feel

00:30:35.700 --> 00:30:36.120
 like perhaps

00:30:36.120 --> 00:30:36.420
 they're not

00:30:36.420 --> 00:30:36.700
 the most

00:30:36.700 --> 00:30:37.140
 eloquent

00:30:37.140 --> 00:30:37.700
 of speakers

00:30:37.700 --> 00:30:38.120
 for the

00:30:38.120 --> 00:30:38.480
 gospel

00:30:38.480 --> 00:30:40.279
 they think

00:30:40.279 --> 00:30:40.599
 themselves

00:30:40.599 --> 00:30:41.160
 just truly

00:30:41.160 --> 00:30:41.539
 as these

00:30:41.539 --> 00:30:41.880
 poor

00:30:41.880 --> 00:30:42.380
 women who

00:30:42.380 --> 00:30:42.779
 have nothing

00:30:42.779 --> 00:30:43.279
 to offer

00:30:43.279 --> 00:30:45.059
 except perhaps

00:30:45.059 --> 00:30:45.420
 they can

00:30:45.420 --> 00:30:45.960
 embalm the

00:30:45.960 --> 00:30:46.380
 body of

00:30:46.380 --> 00:30:46.680
 Jesus

00:30:46.680 --> 00:30:47.599
 in its

00:30:47.599 --> 00:30:47.980
 grave

00:30:47.980 --> 00:30:51.539
 and we

00:30:51.539 --> 00:30:51.940
 are here

00:30:51.940 --> 00:30:52.579
 tonight

00:30:52.579 --> 00:30:54.220
 because

00:30:54.220 --> 00:30:55.140
 they went

00:30:55.140 --> 00:30:56.339
 and told

00:30:56.339 --> 00:30:56.839
 Peter

00:30:56.839 --> 00:30:59.200
 he is

00:30:59.200 --> 00:30:59.559
 risen

00:30:59.559 --> 00:31:03.720
 Peter who

00:31:03.720 --> 00:31:04.440
 has denied

00:31:04.440 --> 00:31:04.980
 Jesus

00:31:04.980 --> 00:31:06.539
 and who

00:31:06.539 --> 00:31:06.839
 has then

00:31:06.839 --> 00:31:07.319
 restored

00:31:07.319 --> 00:31:10.220
 I wonder

00:31:10.220 --> 00:31:10.599
 tonight

00:31:10.599 --> 00:31:10.960
 who will

00:31:10.960 --> 00:31:11.279
 you go

00:31:11.279 --> 00:31:11.659
 and tell

00:31:11.659 --> 00:31:13.839
 who will

00:31:13.839 --> 00:31:14.119
 you go

00:31:14.119 --> 00:31:14.500
 and tell

00:31:14.500 --> 00:31:14.799
 that you

00:31:14.799 --> 00:31:15.319
 have seen

00:31:15.319 --> 00:31:15.899
 the risen

00:31:15.899 --> 00:31:16.279
 Lord

00:31:16.279 --> 00:31:16.679
 that you

00:31:16.679 --> 00:31:16.819
 have

00:31:16.819 --> 00:31:17.480
 experienced

00:31:17.480 --> 00:31:18.159
 yourself

00:31:18.159 --> 00:31:18.960
 the

00:31:18.960 --> 00:31:19.539
 resurrection

00:31:19.539 --> 00:31:20.460
 of Jesus

00:31:20.460 --> 00:31:23.399
 that there's

00:31:23.399 --> 00:31:23.879
 good news

00:31:23.879 --> 00:31:24.339
 to pass

00:31:24.339 --> 00:31:24.679
 on

00:31:24.679 --> 00:31:26.480
 to those

00:31:26.480 --> 00:31:26.740
 who are

00:31:26.740 --> 00:31:27.139
 seeking

00:31:27.139 --> 00:31:28.980
 hope and

00:31:28.980 --> 00:31:29.419
 salvation

00:31:29.419 --> 00:31:29.819
 in this

00:31:29.819 --> 00:31:30.159
 world

00:31:30.159 --> 00:31:32.559
 let's

00:31:32.559 --> 00:31:32.779
 pray

00:31:32.779 --> 00:31:40.420
 our

00:31:40.420 --> 00:31:40.879
 father in

00:31:40.879 --> 00:31:41.079
 heaven

00:31:41.079 --> 00:31:41.559
 we thank

00:31:41.559 --> 00:31:41.960
 you that

00:31:41.960 --> 00:31:43.180
 the cross

00:31:43.180 --> 00:31:44.259
 happened

00:31:44.259 --> 00:31:44.980
 we thank

00:31:44.980 --> 00:31:45.279
 you for

00:31:45.279 --> 00:31:45.619
 the

00:31:45.619 --> 00:31:46.639
 integrity

00:31:46.639 --> 00:31:47.279
 of the

00:31:47.279 --> 00:31:47.759
 records

00:31:47.759 --> 00:31:48.119
 that we

00:31:48.119 --> 00:31:48.720
 can rely

00:31:48.720 --> 00:31:49.139
 on that

00:31:49.139 --> 00:31:49.619
 tell us

00:31:49.619 --> 00:31:49.980
 about the

00:31:49.980 --> 00:31:50.359
 death and

00:31:50.359 --> 00:31:50.720
 resurrection

00:31:50.720 --> 00:31:51.399
 of Jesus

00:31:51.399 --> 00:31:51.940
 these are

00:31:51.940 --> 00:31:53.039
 words that

00:31:53.039 --> 00:31:53.440
 are written

00:31:53.440 --> 00:31:55.000
 to assure

00:31:55.000 --> 00:31:55.639
 us of

00:31:55.639 --> 00:31:55.980
 the

00:31:55.980 --> 00:31:56.799
 historical

00:31:56.799 --> 00:31:58.119
 accuracy

00:31:58.119 --> 00:31:58.719
 of these

00:31:58.719 --> 00:31:59.159
 things

00:31:59.159 --> 00:32:00.119
 and so

00:32:00.119 --> 00:32:00.439
 on that

00:32:00.439 --> 00:32:01.119
 simple

00:32:01.119 --> 00:32:01.579
 foundation

00:32:01.579 --> 00:32:02.000
 we can

00:32:02.000 --> 00:32:02.399
 build

00:32:02.399 --> 00:32:03.819
 so much

00:32:03.819 --> 00:32:04.839
 for our

00:32:04.839 --> 00:32:05.379
 own insight

00:32:05.379 --> 00:32:06.099
 and understanding

00:32:06.099 --> 00:32:07.779
 and I

00:32:07.779 --> 00:32:08.099
 pray Lord

00:32:08.099 --> 00:32:08.559
 tonight that

00:32:08.559 --> 00:32:08.839
 that would

00:32:08.839 --> 00:32:09.419
 truly be the

00:32:09.419 --> 00:32:09.779
 case for

00:32:09.779 --> 00:32:10.319
 people here

00:32:10.319 --> 00:32:11.919
 that they

00:32:11.919 --> 00:32:12.319
 would be able

00:32:12.319 --> 00:32:12.759
 to see

00:32:12.759 --> 00:32:13.479
 the relevance

00:32:13.479 --> 00:32:14.439
 of Jesus

00:32:14.439 --> 00:32:15.419
 that they

00:32:15.419 --> 00:32:15.759
 would be able

00:32:15.759 --> 00:32:16.079
 to see

00:32:16.079 --> 00:32:16.479
 why it

00:32:16.479 --> 00:32:17.059
 matters that

00:32:17.059 --> 00:32:17.739
 Jesus died

00:32:17.739 --> 00:32:18.539
 on the

00:32:18.539 --> 00:32:19.119
 cross for

00:32:19.119 --> 00:32:19.419
 sinners

00:32:19.419 --> 00:32:21.219
 and that

00:32:21.219 --> 00:32:21.879
 in all of

00:32:21.879 --> 00:32:22.199
 this we

00:32:22.199 --> 00:32:22.479
 would be

00:32:22.479 --> 00:32:23.359
 reminded of

00:32:23.359 --> 00:32:23.919
 the grace

00:32:23.919 --> 00:32:24.319
 that is to

00:32:24.319 --> 00:32:24.719
 be found

00:32:24.719 --> 00:32:24.979
 there

00:32:24.979 --> 00:32:26.719
 that there

00:32:26.719 --> 00:32:27.439
 people can

00:32:27.439 --> 00:32:28.059
 come to a

00:32:28.059 --> 00:32:28.440
 place where

00:32:28.440 --> 00:32:28.740
 they can

00:32:28.740 --> 00:32:29.419
 say truly

00:32:29.419 --> 00:32:29.879
 this was

00:32:29.879 --> 00:32:30.179
 the son

00:32:30.179 --> 00:32:30.599
 of God

00:32:30.599 --> 00:32:32.319
 they can

00:32:32.319 --> 00:32:33.059
 find salvation

00:32:33.059 --> 00:32:33.700
 and hope

00:32:33.700 --> 00:32:34.599
 in that

00:32:34.599 --> 00:32:35.019
 place of

00:32:35.019 --> 00:32:35.679
 great darkness

00:32:35.679 --> 00:32:37.740
 because the

00:32:37.740 --> 00:32:38.119
 light of

00:32:38.119 --> 00:32:38.940
 Jesus shines

00:32:38.940 --> 00:32:40.639
 there and

00:32:40.639 --> 00:32:41.599
 brings to

00:32:41.599 --> 00:32:42.859
 light the

00:32:42.859 --> 00:32:43.359
 hope of

00:32:43.359 --> 00:32:43.839
 mankind

00:32:43.839 --> 00:32:46.200
 we thank

00:32:46.200 --> 00:32:46.500
 you for the

00:32:46.500 --> 00:32:46.940
 woman who

00:32:46.940 --> 00:32:47.700
 bore witness

00:32:47.700 --> 00:32:48.179
 to the

00:32:48.179 --> 00:32:48.759
 burial of

00:32:48.759 --> 00:32:49.220
 Jesus

00:32:49.220 --> 00:32:51.599
 perhaps in

00:32:51.599 --> 00:32:52.059
 dismay

00:32:52.059 --> 00:32:54.000
 but who

00:32:54.000 --> 00:32:55.119
 a few

00:32:55.119 --> 00:32:56.099
 hours later

00:32:56.099 --> 00:32:57.799
 were

00:32:57.799 --> 00:32:58.460
 transformed

00:32:58.460 --> 00:32:58.899
 with the

00:32:58.899 --> 00:32:59.379
 news

00:32:59.379 --> 00:32:59.960
 of the

00:32:59.960 --> 00:33:00.500
 resurrection

00:33:00.500 --> 00:33:02.039
 the

00:33:02.039 --> 00:33:02.519
 words of

00:33:02.519 --> 00:33:02.659
 the

00:33:02.659 --> 00:33:03.019
 angel

00:33:03.019 --> 00:33:03.940
 he is

00:33:03.940 --> 00:33:04.200
 not

00:33:04.200 --> 00:33:04.519
 here

00:33:04.519 --> 00:33:05.759
 he is

00:33:05.759 --> 00:33:06.139
 risen

00:33:06.139 --> 00:33:09.559
 embolden

00:33:09.559 --> 00:33:09.859
 us in

00:33:09.859 --> 00:33:10.139
 the same

00:33:10.139 --> 00:33:10.359
 way

00:33:10.359 --> 00:33:11.460
 strengthen

00:33:11.460 --> 00:33:11.819
 us for

00:33:11.819 --> 00:33:12.000
 your

00:33:12.000 --> 00:33:12.399
 service

00:33:12.399 --> 00:33:13.399
 and we

00:33:13.399 --> 00:33:13.799
 ask this

00:33:13.799 --> 00:33:13.960
 in

00:33:13.960 --> 00:33:14.159
 Jesus

00:33:14.159 --> 00:33:14.480
 name

00:33:14.480 --> 00:33:15.379
 amen

00:33:22.980 --> 00:33:23.160
 going to

00:33:23.160 --> 00:33:23.500
 sing in

00:33:23.500 --> 00:33:23.960
 conclusion

00:33:23.960 --> 00:33:25.020
 in

 Psalm

00:33:26.460 --> 00:33:28.280
 this is

00:33:28.280 --> 00:33:28.400
 the

 Sing

00:33:30.119 --> 00:33:38.599
 when Zion's

00:33:38.599 --> 00:33:39.139
 fortunes

00:33:39.139 --> 00:33:39.439

 come true

00:33:41.119 --> 00:33:42.199

00:33:42.599 --> 00:33:43.119
 with laughter

00:33:43.119 --> 00:33:43.519
 filled

 our tongues

00:33:56.079 --> 00:33:56.379
 Lord

00:33:56.379 --> 00:33:57.559

00:34:00.320 --> 00:34:01.039
 will reward

00:34:01.039 --> 00:34:01.660
 the weeping

00:34:01.660 --> 00:34:02.299
 sower's

00:34:02.299 --> 00:34:02.580
 toil

 with tears

00:34:06.820 --> 00:34:07.400
 of grief

00:34:07.400 --> 00:34:08.639
 will come

00:34:08.639 --> 00:34:09.000

00:34:09.000 --> 00:34:09.800
 with songs

00:34:09.800 --> 00:34:10.380

00:34:11.980 --> 00:34:12.400
 chief

00:34:12.400 --> 00:34:13.019
 I think

00:34:13.019 --> 00:34:13.400
 that last

00:34:13.400 --> 00:34:13.599
 verse

00:34:13.599 --> 00:34:14.079
 maybe sums

00:34:14.079 --> 00:34:14.360
 up the

00:34:14.360 --> 00:34:14.800
 experience

00:34:14.800 --> 00:34:15.079
 of the

00:34:15.079 --> 00:34:15.280
 woman

00:34:15.280 --> 00:34:16.099
 at the

00:34:16.099 --> 00:34:16.460
 cross

00:34:16.460 --> 00:34:17.740
 they went

00:34:17.740 --> 00:34:17.980
 to the

00:34:17.980 --> 00:34:18.240
 tomb

00:34:18.240 --> 00:34:19.920
 with sorrow

00:34:19.920 --> 00:34:20.940
 and sadness

00:34:20.940 --> 00:34:22.380
 and yet

00:34:22.380 --> 00:34:22.740
 they came

00:34:22.740 --> 00:34:23.480
 back full

00:34:23.480 --> 00:34:24.300
 of joy

00:34:24.300 --> 00:34:25.119
 would that

00:34:25.119 --> 00:34:25.420
 be true

00:34:25.420 --> 00:34:25.700
 of us

00:34:25.700 --> 00:34:26.079
 this night

00:34:26.079 --> 00:34:26.460
 as well

00:34:26.460 --> 00:34:27.280

00:34:27.280 --> 00:34:27.820
 stand and

00:34:27.820 --> 00:34:28.099
 sing to

00:34:28.099 --> 00:34:28.360
 God's

00:34:28.360 --> 00:34:28.539
 praise

00:34:28.539 --> 00:34:29.039

00:34:29.460 --> 00:34:29.739

00:35:24.340 --> 00:35:24.340


00:35:24.340 --> 00:35:24.340


00:35:24.340 --> 00:35:24.340


00:35:24.340 --> 00:35:24.340


00:35:24.340 --> 00:35:24.340


00:35:24.340 --> 00:35:24.340


00:35:24.340 --> 00:35:24.340


00:35:24.340 --> 00:35:24.340


00:35:24.340 --> 00:35:24.340


00:35:24.340 --> 00:35:24.340


00:35:24.340 --> 00:35:24.340


00:35:24.340 --> 00:35:24.340


00:35:24.340 --> 00:35:24.340


00:35:24.340 --> 00:35:24.340


00:35:24.340 --> 00:35:24.340


00:35:24.340 --> 00:35:24.340


00:35:24.340 --> 00:35:24.340


00:35:24.340 --> 00:35:24.340


00:35:24.340 --> 00:35:24.340


00:35:24.340 --> 00:35:24.340


00:35:24.340 --> 00:35:24.340


00:35:24.340 --> 00:35:24.340


00:35:24.340 --> 00:35:24.340


00:35:24.340 --> 00:35:24.340


00:35:24.340 --> 00:35:24.340


00:35:24.340 --> 00:35:24.340


00:35:24.340 --> 00:35:24.340


00:35:24.340 --> 00:35:24.340


00:35:24.340 --> 00:35:24.340


00:35:24.340 --> 00:35:24.340


00:35:24.340 --> 00:35:24.340


00:35:24.340 --> 00:35:24.340


00:35:24.340 --> 00:35:38.440
 Restore the fortune, gracious Lord, like streams in deserts fall.

00:35:38.440 --> 00:35:50.740
 Under the harvest will reward, the weakest storm is torn.

00:35:50.739 --> 00:36:04.500
 The man who bare him, seek to sow, calls out the tears of grief.

00:36:04.879 --> 00:36:16.559
 Will come again with songs of joy in his harvest sheep.

00:36:16.559 --> 00:36:23.079
 Now the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God the Father, and the fellowship

00:36:23.079 --> 00:36:25.719
 of God the Holy Spirit be with each one of you now and always.

00:36:26.259 --> 00:36:26.559
 Amen.

00:36:26.559 --> 00:36:34.420
 I think there was one thing I forgot to intimate, that the session which had opened last night

00:36:34.420 --> 00:36:38.179
 for the communion has now closed with the benediction as well.

00:36:38.340 --> 00:36:38.699
 Thank you.

00:36:38.699 --> 00:37:08.679
 Thank you.

00:37:09.199 --> 00:37:09.539
 Thank you.

00:37:09.539 --> 00:37:09.539


00:37:09.539 --> 00:37:09.539


00:37:09.539 --> 00:37:09.539


00:37:09.539 --> 00:37:09.539


00:37:09.539 --> 00:37:09.539


00:37:09.539 --> 00:37:09.539


00:37:09.539 --> 00:37:09.539


00:37:09.539 --> 00:37:09.539


00:37:09.539 --> 00:37:09.539


00:37:09.539 --> 00:37:09.539


00:37:09.539 --> 00:37:09.539


00:37:09.539 --> 00:37:09.539


00:37:09.539 --> 00:37:09.539


00:37:09.539 --> 00:37:09.539


00:37:09.539 --> 00:37:09.539


00:37:09.539 --> 00:37:09.539


00:37:09.539 --> 00:37:09.539


00:37:09.539 --> 00:37:09.539


00:37:09.539 --> 00:37:09.539


00:37:09.539 --> 00:37:09.539


00:37:09.539 --> 00:37:09.539


00:37:09.539 --> 00:37:09.539


00:37:09.539 --> 00:37:09.539


00:37:09.539 --> 00:37:09.539


00:37:09.539 --> 00:37:09.539


00:37:09.539 --> 00:37:09.539


00:37:09.539 --> 00:37:09.539

00:37:09.539 --> 00:37:09.539


00:37:09.539 --> 00:37:09.539


00:37:09.539 --> 00:37:09.539


00:37:09.539 --> 00:37:09.539


00:37:09.539 --> 00:37:09.539


00:37:09.539 --> 00:37:09.539


00:37:09.539 --> 00:37:09.539


00:37:09.539 --> 00:37:09.539


00:37:09.539 --> 00:37:09.539


00:37:09.539 --> 00:37:09.539


00:37:09.539 --> 00:37:09.539

00:37:09.539 --> 00:37:39.519
 Thank you.
