00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.100
 It's a real privilege for me to be able to read these verses.

00:00:07.500 --> 00:00:12.919
 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the governor's headquarters

00:00:12.919 --> 00:00:12.919


00:00:12.919 --> 00:00:16.320
 and they gathered the whole battalion before him.

00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:20.379
 and they stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him

00:00:20.379 --> 00:00:23.160
 and twisting together a crown of thorns,

00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:26.879
 they put it on his head and put a reed in his hand.

00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:30.779
 And kneeling before him, they mocked him saying,

00:00:31.280 --> 00:00:32.799
 Hail, King of the Jews!

00:00:33.100 --> 00:00:36.739
 And they spit on him and took the reed and struck him on the head.

00:00:37.579 --> 00:00:41.179
 And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the robe

00:00:41.179 --> 00:00:45.399
 and put his own clothes on him and led him away to crucify him.

00:00:46.439 --> 00:00:51.060
 As they went out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name.

00:00:51.739 --> 00:00:54.039
 They compelled this man to carry his cross.

00:00:54.039 --> 00:00:59.219
 And when they came to a place called Golgotha, which means place of a skull,

00:00:59.780 --> 00:01:02.679
 they offered him wine to drink mixed with ghoul.

00:01:06.760 --> 00:01:10.060
 But when he tasted it, he could not drink it.

00:01:10.900 --> 00:01:12.700
 And when they had crucified him,

00:01:13.319 --> 00:01:16.840
 they divided his garments among them by casting lots.

00:01:16.840 --> 00:01:20.439
 Then they sat down and kept watch over him there.

00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:24.079
 And over his head, they put a charge against him,

00:01:24.120 --> 00:01:24.680
 which read,

00:01:25.240 --> 00:01:27.540
 This is Jesus, the King of the Jews.

00:01:28.380 --> 00:01:29.520
 There were two robbers.

00:01:29.859 --> 00:01:32.439
 Then two robbers were crucified with him,

00:01:32.859 --> 00:01:35.620
 one on the right and one on the left.

00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:38.580
 And those who passed by derided him,

00:01:39.020 --> 00:01:40.620
 wagging their heads and saying,

00:01:41.140 --> 00:01:44.640
 You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days,

00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:45.680
 save yourself.

00:01:46.579 --> 00:01:49.939
 If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross.

00:01:50.859 --> 00:01:55.060
 So also the chief priests with the scribes and elders mocked him,

00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:55.540
 saying,

00:01:56.099 --> 00:01:58.519
 He saved others, he cannot save himself.

00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:00.900
 He is the King of Israel.

00:02:01.579 --> 00:02:03.900
 Let him come down now from the cross,

00:02:03.960 --> 00:02:05.319
 and we will believe in him.

00:02:05.980 --> 00:02:07.340
 He trusts in God.

00:02:07.700 --> 00:02:09.199
 Let God deliver him now,

00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:10.780
 if he desires him.

00:02:10.780 --> 00:02:12.099
 For he said,

00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:13.379
 I am the Son of God.

00:02:13.819 --> 00:02:16.000
 And the robbers who were crucified with him

00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:18.580
 also reviled him in the same way.

00:02:20.099 --> 00:02:21.659
 Now from the sixth hour,

00:02:21.819 --> 00:02:23.840
 there was darkness over all the land

00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:25.120
 until the ninth hour.

00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:27.879
 And about the ninth hour,

00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:30.520
 Jesus cried out with a loud voice,

00:02:30.659 --> 00:02:31.020
 saying,

00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:32.719
 Eli, Eli,

00:02:32.939 --> 00:02:34.300
 Lema sabachthani?

00:02:34.900 --> 00:02:35.460
 That is,

00:02:35.580 --> 00:02:36.259
 My God,

00:02:36.340 --> 00:02:37.020
 My God,

00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:38.599
 Why have you forsaken me?

00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:41.719
 And some of the bystanders hearing it said,

00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:43.719
 This man is calling Elijah.

00:02:44.419 --> 00:02:46.939
 And one of them at once ran and took a sponge,

00:02:47.419 --> 00:02:48.699
 filled it with sour wine,

00:02:48.900 --> 00:02:49.900
 and put it on a reed,

00:02:49.959 --> 00:02:51.240
 and gave it to him to drink.

00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:52.759
 But the other said,

00:02:53.139 --> 00:02:53.519
 Wait,

00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:56.519
 let us see whether Elijah will come to save him.

00:02:57.099 --> 00:02:58.759
 And Jesus cried out again,

00:02:59.219 --> 00:03:00.519
 with a loud voice,

00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:02.939
 and yielded up his spirit.

00:03:02.939 --> 00:03:06.500
 And behold,

00:03:07.020 --> 00:03:09.379
 the curtain of the temple was torn in two

00:03:09.379 --> 00:03:10.479
 from top to bottom,

00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:12.340
 and the earth shook,

00:03:12.620 --> 00:03:13.759
 and rocks were split.

00:03:14.539 --> 00:03:16.579
 The tombs also were open,

00:03:17.099 --> 00:03:18.960
 and many bodies of the saints

00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:20.919
 who had fallen asleep were raised,

00:03:21.340 --> 00:03:22.620
 and coming out of the tomb

00:03:22.620 --> 00:03:23.879
 after his resurrection,

00:03:24.419 --> 00:03:25.919
 they went into the holy city

00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:27.120
 and appeared to many.

00:03:28.180 --> 00:03:28.939
 When the centurion

00:03:29.479 --> 00:03:30.780
 and those who were with him,

00:03:30.900 --> 00:03:32.240
 keeping watch over Jesus,

00:03:32.240 --> 00:03:33.860
 saw the earthquake,

00:03:34.700 --> 00:03:37.820
 saw the earthquake,

00:03:38.260 --> 00:03:39.520
 saw the earthquake

00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:40.719
 and what took place,

00:03:41.200 --> 00:03:42.400
 they were filled with awe

00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:43.120
 and said,

00:03:43.800 --> 00:03:44.100
 Truly,

00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:45.680
 this is the Son of God.

00:03:47.379 --> 00:03:48.680
 Will you pray with me

00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:49.500
 as we come to God's word?

00:03:58.300 --> 00:03:58.740
 Father,

00:03:58.900 --> 00:04:00.780
 I ask for your spirit's power

00:04:00.780 --> 00:04:02.160
 to work through your word.

00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:03.560
 in showing us

00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:05.400
 who you are

00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:06.659
 in the face of your Son,

00:04:07.980 --> 00:04:09.879
 seen most clearly here

00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:11.140
 at the cross.

00:04:11.860 --> 00:04:13.700
 I can't break through

00:04:13.700 --> 00:04:14.939
 even in my own heart,

00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:16.100
 so I ask that

00:04:16.100 --> 00:04:17.939
 you do it

00:04:17.939 --> 00:04:18.980
 for each one of us.

00:04:19.060 --> 00:04:19.740
 In Jesus' name,

00:04:19.960 --> 00:04:20.259
 Amen.

00:04:20.259 --> 00:04:20.939
 Well,

00:04:20.939 --> 00:04:25.719
 a Navy SEAL,

00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:27.279
 a US Navy SEAL

00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:29.599
 named Matt Bissanetti,

00:04:31.039 --> 00:04:33.019
 he was part of the raid

00:04:33.019 --> 00:04:35.420
 to capture and kill

00:04:35.420 --> 00:04:37.120
 Osama Bin Laden,

00:04:37.899 --> 00:04:38.719
 and he wrote a book

00:04:38.719 --> 00:04:39.899
 about it,

00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:41.899
 and he said that

00:04:41.899 --> 00:04:42.800
 after Bin Laden

00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:44.019
 was shot

00:04:44.019 --> 00:04:45.139
 and killed,

00:04:46.259 --> 00:04:47.740
 they were taking his body

00:04:47.740 --> 00:04:48.460
 in the helicopter,

00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:50.259
 and one of the Navy SEALs

00:04:50.259 --> 00:04:52.259
 sat on Bin Laden's chest

00:04:52.259 --> 00:04:54.000
 as the seat

00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:55.759
 for the duration

00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:56.480
 of the flight.

00:04:57.939 --> 00:04:59.079
 He also says in the book,

00:04:59.199 --> 00:04:59.460
 apparently,

00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:00.639
 that they found

00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:02.019
 in Bin Laden's room

00:05:02.019 --> 00:05:04.860
 some just-for-men

00:05:04.860 --> 00:05:05.540
 hair dye.

00:05:07.480 --> 00:05:07.900
 Now,

00:05:07.899 --> 00:05:08.539
 I could use

00:05:08.539 --> 00:05:09.399
 some of that.

00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:11.599
 It's not great.

00:05:14.599 --> 00:05:15.579
 I get

00:05:15.579 --> 00:05:18.439
 that's an interesting story,

00:05:18.739 --> 00:05:19.259
 the capture

00:05:19.259 --> 00:05:22.479
 and end

00:05:22.479 --> 00:05:23.799
 of such

00:05:23.799 --> 00:05:24.879
 an enemy,

00:05:25.019 --> 00:05:25.939
 but why the mockery?

00:05:27.239 --> 00:05:28.519
 He's already defeated.

00:05:29.219 --> 00:05:29.799
 He's gone.

00:05:30.859 --> 00:05:31.759
 Why the mockery?

00:05:32.279 --> 00:05:32.899
 It's really...

00:05:32.899 --> 00:05:36.739
 I don't have

00:05:36.739 --> 00:05:38.339
 a real answer here.

00:05:38.479 --> 00:05:39.179
 A psychologist

00:05:39.179 --> 00:05:39.779
 in the room

00:05:39.779 --> 00:05:40.599
 might have a better answer,

00:05:40.679 --> 00:05:41.539
 but we all know

00:05:41.539 --> 00:05:41.979
 mockery,

00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:42.399
 don't we?

00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:44.179
 We all know it.

00:05:45.699 --> 00:05:47.060
 It's making sport

00:05:47.060 --> 00:05:47.839
 of a person,

00:05:48.039 --> 00:05:49.319
 using someone

00:05:49.319 --> 00:05:50.419
 for your amusement,

00:05:50.599 --> 00:05:51.859
 for other people's amusement.

00:05:52.799 --> 00:05:54.379
 It's humiliating

00:05:54.379 --> 00:05:55.539
 their very person

00:05:55.539 --> 00:05:57.579
 to their very core,

00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:00.159
 even if they're dead.

00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:03.280
 Now,

00:06:03.340 --> 00:06:03.720
 I'm guessing

00:06:03.720 --> 00:06:04.740
 you've experienced it.

00:06:04.980 --> 00:06:06.060
 We've all experienced it

00:06:06.060 --> 00:06:06.960
 to one degree

00:06:06.960 --> 00:06:08.420
 or another.

00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:12.360
 Now,

00:06:12.420 --> 00:06:13.260
 going through this passage,

00:06:13.400 --> 00:06:13.940
 one effect

00:06:13.940 --> 00:06:14.960
 that it had on me

00:06:14.960 --> 00:06:17.400
 is it convicted me

00:06:17.400 --> 00:06:19.540
 of something

00:06:19.540 --> 00:06:20.040
 I'm now

00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:21.460
 very ashamed of,

00:06:21.540 --> 00:06:23.180
 and I'll get a phone call

00:06:23.180 --> 00:06:24.220
 from my parents later

00:06:24.220 --> 00:06:25.320
 asking what that is,

00:06:25.440 --> 00:06:27.200
 but I'm not going

00:06:27.200 --> 00:06:27.700
 to share that

00:06:27.700 --> 00:06:28.200
 because it's not

00:06:28.200 --> 00:06:28.960
 the place to do it.

00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:30.219
 James 3,

00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:30.959
 8-9

00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:32.199
 addresses Christians

00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:32.759
 saying,

00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:34.039
 no human being

00:06:34.039 --> 00:06:35.319
 can tame the tongue.

00:06:36.979 --> 00:06:38.959
 It is a restless evil

00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:40.519
 full of deadly poison.

00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:41.299
 With it,

00:06:41.359 --> 00:06:42.459
 we bless our Lord

00:06:42.459 --> 00:06:43.019
 and Father,

00:06:43.139 --> 00:06:43.620
 and with it,

00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:44.620
 we curse people

00:06:44.620 --> 00:06:45.199
 who are made

00:06:45.199 --> 00:06:46.079
 in the likeness

00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:46.859
 of God.

00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:51.000
 We've not all

00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:51.599
 just been

00:06:51.599 --> 00:06:52.459
 the recipients

00:06:52.459 --> 00:06:54.659
 of ridicule.

00:06:55.159 --> 00:06:55.879
 We've all been

00:06:55.879 --> 00:06:56.899
 the perpetrators.

00:06:56.899 --> 00:06:59.479
 I'm assuming

00:06:59.479 --> 00:06:59.759
 that.

00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:05.500
 Mockery of

00:07:05.500 --> 00:07:06.079
 Bin Laden

00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:07.659
 as unworthy

00:07:07.659 --> 00:07:08.539
 of any

00:07:08.539 --> 00:07:10.019
 basic dignity,

00:07:10.399 --> 00:07:11.919
 it's distasteful,

00:07:12.739 --> 00:07:13.659
 but how much

00:07:13.659 --> 00:07:14.620
 worse is it

00:07:14.620 --> 00:07:15.899
 for an innocent

00:07:15.899 --> 00:07:16.579
 teenager?

00:07:18.579 --> 00:07:19.859
 The target

00:07:19.859 --> 00:07:21.639
 of the jeering

00:07:21.639 --> 00:07:22.139
 crowd,

00:07:22.299 --> 00:07:22.879
 their person,

00:07:23.019 --> 00:07:23.599
 their worth.

00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:25.640
 Now,

00:07:25.660 --> 00:07:25.860
 please,

00:07:25.980 --> 00:07:26.460
 if that's

00:07:26.460 --> 00:07:27.080
 happening to you,

00:07:27.180 --> 00:07:27.640
 reach out

00:07:27.640 --> 00:07:28.400
 to your parents

00:07:28.400 --> 00:07:29.140
 and reach out

00:07:29.140 --> 00:07:29.800
 to teachers.

00:07:32.200 --> 00:07:33.020
 You were very

00:07:33.020 --> 00:07:33.580
 much loved

00:07:33.580 --> 00:07:34.100
 by God

00:07:34.100 --> 00:07:34.520
 and us,

00:07:34.600 --> 00:07:34.780
 but

00:07:34.780 --> 00:07:37.460
 so much

00:07:37.460 --> 00:07:37.960
 worse.

00:07:39.840 --> 00:07:40.560
 How much

00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:41.420
 worse is it

00:07:41.420 --> 00:07:42.600
 still who we

00:07:42.600 --> 00:07:43.200
 have here?

00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:43.980
 How much

00:07:43.980 --> 00:07:44.580
 worse is it

00:07:44.580 --> 00:07:45.260
 the one

00:07:45.260 --> 00:07:45.860
 who gives

00:07:45.860 --> 00:07:46.840
 all men

00:07:46.840 --> 00:07:48.540
 their life

00:07:48.540 --> 00:07:49.140
 and breath,

00:07:49.240 --> 00:07:49.640
 the one

00:07:49.640 --> 00:07:50.040
 who has

00:07:50.040 --> 00:07:51.200
 every right

00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:52.079
 to speak

00:07:52.079 --> 00:07:52.560
 into my

00:07:52.560 --> 00:07:53.060
 life and

00:07:53.060 --> 00:07:53.339
 say,

00:07:53.479 --> 00:07:53.939
 here's how

00:07:53.939 --> 00:07:54.360
 you should

00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:54.740
 think,

00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:55.500
 here's what

00:07:55.500 --> 00:07:56.159
 you should

00:07:56.159 --> 00:07:56.519
 do?

00:07:56.939 --> 00:07:57.379
 He has

00:07:57.379 --> 00:07:58.000
 the right.

00:07:58.779 --> 00:07:59.079
 He has

00:07:59.079 --> 00:07:59.800
 all right.

00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:00.899
 The one

00:08:00.899 --> 00:08:01.579
 who came

00:08:01.579 --> 00:08:02.139
 to us,

00:08:02.939 --> 00:08:04.159
 not with

00:08:04.159 --> 00:08:05.699
 an iron fist

00:08:05.699 --> 00:08:06.039
 or something,

00:08:06.159 --> 00:08:06.939
 he lowered

00:08:06.939 --> 00:08:07.779
 himself by

00:08:07.779 --> 00:08:08.399
 becoming one

00:08:08.399 --> 00:08:08.800
 of us.

00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:10.699
 He came

00:08:10.699 --> 00:08:11.500
 to serve,

00:08:11.740 --> 00:08:12.060
 he was

00:08:12.060 --> 00:08:12.939
 gentle and

00:08:12.939 --> 00:08:13.639
 lowly.

00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:14.459
 how many

00:08:14.459 --> 00:08:15.219
 people did

00:08:15.219 --> 00:08:16.079
 he restore

00:08:16.079 --> 00:08:16.839
 body and

00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:17.740
 soul through

00:08:17.740 --> 00:08:18.419
 his miracles

00:08:18.419 --> 00:08:19.199
 and teaching?

00:08:23.300 --> 00:08:24.479
 I don't

00:08:24.479 --> 00:08:25.819
 understand why

00:08:25.819 --> 00:08:26.379
 all these

00:08:26.379 --> 00:08:27.339
 people in

00:08:27.339 --> 00:08:28.479
 what happened

00:08:28.479 --> 00:08:28.860
 that day

00:08:28.860 --> 00:08:29.180
 mock.

00:08:29.279 --> 00:08:29.839
 I don't

00:08:29.839 --> 00:08:30.439
 fully get.

00:08:30.599 --> 00:08:31.079
 I don't

00:08:31.079 --> 00:08:31.620
 fully get

00:08:31.620 --> 00:08:32.159
 why I

00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:32.580
 mock.

00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:34.559
 I ridicule

00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:35.659
 human beings.

00:08:36.080 --> 00:08:36.919
 I don't

00:08:36.919 --> 00:08:37.580
 fully understand

00:08:37.580 --> 00:08:37.899
 it, but

00:08:37.899 --> 00:08:39.700
 I think what

00:08:39.700 --> 00:08:40.200
 Matthew wants

00:08:40.200 --> 00:08:40.819
 us to see

00:08:40.820 --> 00:08:43.220
 is what

00:08:43.220 --> 00:08:44.180
 all humanity

00:08:44.180 --> 00:08:45.080
 will do

00:08:45.080 --> 00:08:46.320
 to God

00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:47.040
 if given

00:08:47.040 --> 00:08:47.879
 half a chance.

00:08:48.040 --> 00:08:48.400
 If God

00:08:48.400 --> 00:08:48.900
 doesn't fight

00:08:48.900 --> 00:08:49.640
 back, here's

00:08:49.640 --> 00:08:50.220
 what humanity

00:08:50.220 --> 00:08:50.780
 will do to

00:08:50.780 --> 00:08:50.980
 him.

00:08:59.020 --> 00:08:59.640
 If you

00:08:59.640 --> 00:09:00.220
 still hold

00:09:00.220 --> 00:09:00.760
 on to a

00:09:00.760 --> 00:09:01.320
 notion that

00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:02.340
 most human

00:09:02.340 --> 00:09:02.879
 beings are

00:09:02.879 --> 00:09:03.660
 basically good

00:09:03.660 --> 00:09:03.960
 if they've

00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:04.160
 got the

00:09:04.160 --> 00:09:04.780
 right upbringing,

00:09:06.820 --> 00:09:07.480
 here's how

00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:08.180
 a survivor

00:09:08.180 --> 00:09:08.600
 of the

00:09:08.600 --> 00:09:09.900
 Soviet Union

00:09:09.900 --> 00:09:10.780
 gulag,

00:09:10.820 --> 00:09:11.800
 the atrocities

00:09:11.800 --> 00:09:12.240
 that happened

00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:12.500
 there.

00:09:13.040 --> 00:09:13.520
 He had

00:09:13.520 --> 00:09:14.220
 every right

00:09:14.220 --> 00:09:14.600
 to say

00:09:14.600 --> 00:09:14.920
 those

00:09:14.920 --> 00:09:15.720
 perpetrators

00:09:15.720 --> 00:09:16.760
 are evil

00:09:16.760 --> 00:09:18.320
 and we're

00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:18.620
 the good

00:09:18.620 --> 00:09:18.940
 ones.

00:09:19.040 --> 00:09:19.320
 And here's

00:09:19.320 --> 00:09:19.500
 what he

00:09:19.500 --> 00:09:19.660
 said,

00:09:19.700 --> 00:09:20.400
 the line

00:09:20.400 --> 00:09:21.160
 dividing

00:09:21.160 --> 00:09:21.740
 good and

00:09:21.740 --> 00:09:22.420
 evil cuts

00:09:22.420 --> 00:09:22.879
 through the

00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:23.440
 heart of

00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:24.960
 every human

00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:25.280
 being.

00:09:27.280 --> 00:09:27.900
 And we

00:09:27.900 --> 00:09:28.280
 see that

00:09:28.280 --> 00:09:28.540
 here in

00:09:28.540 --> 00:09:29.100
 our passage.

00:09:30.700 --> 00:09:31.420
 Jesus is

00:09:31.420 --> 00:09:32.320
 already condemned

00:09:32.320 --> 00:09:33.000
 by Pilate,

00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:33.540
 he's a dead

00:09:33.540 --> 00:09:34.120
 man walking,

00:09:34.580 --> 00:09:34.880
 but the

00:09:34.880 --> 00:09:35.320
 soldiers,

00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:36.280
 verse 29,

00:09:39.340 --> 00:09:40.060
 ridiculed

00:09:40.060 --> 00:09:40.340
 him.

00:09:40.820 --> 00:09:44.160
 verse 31,

00:09:44.600 --> 00:09:44.860
 Matthew

00:09:44.860 --> 00:09:45.720
 emphasises it,

00:09:45.780 --> 00:09:46.280
 after they

00:09:46.280 --> 00:09:46.960
 mocked him,

00:09:47.860 --> 00:09:48.440
 they take him

00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:48.800
 out to be

00:09:48.800 --> 00:09:49.260
 crucified.

00:09:49.520 --> 00:09:49.640
 Now,

00:09:49.760 --> 00:09:50.580
 while hanging

00:09:50.580 --> 00:09:51.140
 on the

00:09:51.140 --> 00:09:51.480
 cross,

00:09:51.600 --> 00:09:52.280
 verse 39,

00:09:52.400 --> 00:09:53.020
 the crowds

00:09:53.020 --> 00:09:53.720
 come past

00:09:53.720 --> 00:09:54.760
 and they

00:09:54.760 --> 00:09:55.600
 derided him,

00:09:55.660 --> 00:09:56.240
 they joined

00:09:56.240 --> 00:09:57.000
 in on

00:09:57.000 --> 00:09:57.620
 ridiculing

00:09:57.620 --> 00:09:57.800
 him.

00:09:58.220 --> 00:09:58.580
 And then

00:09:58.580 --> 00:09:58.920
 you've got

00:09:58.920 --> 00:09:59.320
 the chief

00:09:59.320 --> 00:09:59.780
 priests,

00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:00.620
 verse 41,

00:10:00.920 --> 00:10:01.660
 the scribes

00:10:01.660 --> 00:10:02.140
 and elders,

00:10:02.560 --> 00:10:03.080
 they mock

00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:03.420
 him.

00:10:04.379 --> 00:10:04.880
 And then

00:10:04.880 --> 00:10:05.580
 you've even

00:10:05.580 --> 00:10:06.080
 got verse

00:10:06.080 --> 00:10:06.500
 44,

00:10:06.620 --> 00:10:07.260
 the criminals

00:10:07.260 --> 00:10:07.800
 who are

00:10:07.800 --> 00:10:09.040
 hanging either

00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:09.419
 side,

00:10:09.579 --> 00:10:10.019
 they get

00:10:10.019 --> 00:10:10.319
 in on

00:10:10.319 --> 00:10:10.519
 it.

00:10:11.099 --> 00:10:11.519
 Everyone,

00:10:12.799 --> 00:10:13.519
 given half

00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:14.059
 a chance,

00:10:14.159 --> 00:10:14.579
 here's what

00:10:14.579 --> 00:10:15.079
 we will do

00:10:15.079 --> 00:10:15.559
 to God,

00:10:16.860 --> 00:10:17.939
 for insisting

00:10:17.939 --> 00:10:18.339
 that he

00:10:18.339 --> 00:10:19.000
 is God,

00:10:20.939 --> 00:10:21.480
 even if

00:10:21.480 --> 00:10:22.000
 he comes

00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:22.819
 lowly and

00:10:22.819 --> 00:10:23.199
 serving.

00:10:25.279 --> 00:10:25.799
 There's a

00:10:25.799 --> 00:10:26.099
 great

00:10:26.099 --> 00:10:26.599
 differences

00:10:26.599 --> 00:10:27.559
 between Jew

00:10:27.559 --> 00:10:28.480
 and Gentile,

00:10:28.959 --> 00:10:29.299
 they were

00:10:29.299 --> 00:10:29.659
 hostile,

00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:30.719
 but here

00:10:30.719 --> 00:10:31.120
 they are

00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:32.819
 united in

00:10:32.819 --> 00:10:33.500
 their mockery

00:10:33.500 --> 00:10:34.120
 of God.

00:10:37.059 --> 00:10:37.620
 Now,

00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:38.580
 there's two

00:10:38.580 --> 00:10:39.200
 aspects

00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:40.679
 that Matthew

00:10:40.679 --> 00:10:41.100
 wants us

00:10:41.100 --> 00:10:41.559
 to focus

00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:41.820
 on.

00:10:42.139 --> 00:10:42.759
 The first

00:10:42.759 --> 00:10:43.200
 section

00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:44.059
 focuses on

00:10:44.059 --> 00:10:44.879
 his identity,

00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:45.860
 Jesus as

00:10:45.860 --> 00:10:46.279
 king.

00:10:47.620 --> 00:10:48.100
 And then

00:10:48.100 --> 00:10:49.779
 the second

00:10:49.779 --> 00:10:50.740
 part focuses

00:10:50.740 --> 00:10:52.299
 on his

00:10:52.299 --> 00:10:52.919
 salvation,

00:10:53.519 --> 00:10:54.600
 you who

00:10:54.600 --> 00:10:55.779
 saved others,

00:10:55.820 --> 00:10:56.179
 you can't

00:10:56.179 --> 00:10:56.980
 even save

00:10:56.980 --> 00:10:57.460
 yourself.

00:10:58.600 --> 00:10:59.500
 King and

00:10:59.500 --> 00:10:59.940
 saviour.

00:11:01.220 --> 00:11:01.720
 So let's,

00:11:02.059 --> 00:11:02.799
 I just want

00:11:02.799 --> 00:11:03.279
 to feel

00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:04.339
 the weight

00:11:04.339 --> 00:11:05.159
 of it,

00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:05.599
 let's go

00:11:05.599 --> 00:11:06.019
 through the

00:11:06.019 --> 00:11:06.439
 story,

00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:11.139
 and we'll

00:11:11.139 --> 00:11:11.539
 see what we

00:11:11.539 --> 00:11:11.819
 learn.

00:11:14.659 --> 00:11:15.500
 So pilots,

00:11:15.839 --> 00:11:16.240
 these are

00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:16.859
 pilots,

00:11:17.699 --> 00:11:18.259
 soldiers,

00:11:19.299 --> 00:11:20.319
 verse 27,

00:11:22.500 --> 00:11:23.979
 the whole

00:11:23.979 --> 00:11:24.500
 company,

00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:25.759
 so 600

00:11:25.759 --> 00:11:26.719
 or so

00:11:26.719 --> 00:11:27.219
 soldiers,

00:11:27.339 --> 00:11:27.759
 whoever were

00:11:27.759 --> 00:11:28.079
 present

00:11:28.079 --> 00:11:28.539
 probably,

00:11:29.379 --> 00:11:30.740
 this was

00:11:30.740 --> 00:11:31.199
 over the

00:11:31.199 --> 00:11:31.459
 top,

00:11:31.740 --> 00:11:32.559
 let's get

00:11:32.559 --> 00:11:33.159
 the whole

00:11:33.159 --> 00:11:33.839
 company who

00:11:33.839 --> 00:11:34.259
 are present

00:11:34.259 --> 00:11:35.139
 here to

00:11:35.139 --> 00:11:35.959
 just surround

00:11:35.959 --> 00:11:36.479
 this guy.

00:11:37.299 --> 00:11:37.619
 They

00:11:37.619 --> 00:11:38.619
 humiliate him

00:11:38.619 --> 00:11:39.179
 and strip

00:11:39.179 --> 00:11:40.339
 him naked,

00:11:42.139 --> 00:11:43.419
 he's

00:11:43.419 --> 00:11:44.039
 impotent,

00:11:44.119 --> 00:11:44.739
 he can't

00:11:44.739 --> 00:11:46.019
 defend

00:11:46.019 --> 00:11:46.479
 himself,

00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:48.379
 they

00:11:48.379 --> 00:11:50.159
 imitate

00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:50.919
 Caesar's

00:11:50.919 --> 00:11:51.379
 crown,

00:11:51.539 --> 00:11:51.979
 if you see

00:11:51.979 --> 00:11:52.239
 on the

00:11:52.239 --> 00:11:52.699
 coins,

00:11:54.279 --> 00:11:54.539
 the

00:11:54.539 --> 00:11:55.759
 Caesar's

00:11:55.759 --> 00:11:56.099
 wreath

00:11:56.099 --> 00:11:56.779
 on his

00:11:56.779 --> 00:11:57.019
 head,

00:11:57.119 --> 00:11:57.339
 and so

00:11:57.339 --> 00:11:57.699
 they put

00:11:57.699 --> 00:11:58.199
 a crown

00:11:58.199 --> 00:11:58.819
 of thorns

00:11:58.819 --> 00:11:59.579
 together and

00:11:59.579 --> 00:12:00.319
 shove it on

00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:00.760
 his head

00:12:00.760 --> 00:12:02.120
 and then

00:12:02.120 --> 00:12:02.400
 they get

00:12:02.400 --> 00:12:03.220
 a staff

00:12:03.220 --> 00:12:04.640
 to symbolise

00:12:04.640 --> 00:12:05.400
 a ruler's

00:12:05.400 --> 00:12:06.340
 scepter and

00:12:06.340 --> 00:12:06.879
 they use it

00:12:06.879 --> 00:12:07.340
 to whack

00:12:07.340 --> 00:12:07.600
 him.

00:12:10.600 --> 00:12:11.000
 Avah,

00:12:11.180 --> 00:12:11.480
 Caesar,

00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:11.980
 hail,

00:12:12.180 --> 00:12:12.500
 king of

00:12:12.500 --> 00:12:12.980
 the Jews.

00:12:13.660 --> 00:12:14.080
 You can

00:12:14.080 --> 00:12:14.620
 imagine one

00:12:14.620 --> 00:12:14.840
 of the

00:12:14.840 --> 00:12:15.520
 extroverts in

00:12:15.520 --> 00:12:15.900
 the room

00:12:15.900 --> 00:12:16.600
 coming out

00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:18.580
 and being

00:12:18.580 --> 00:12:19.080
 the first

00:12:19.080 --> 00:12:19.600
 to do it.

00:12:19.940 --> 00:12:20.500
 I'm saying

00:12:20.500 --> 00:12:20.879
 that as an

00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:21.460
 introvert to

00:12:21.460 --> 00:12:21.879
 try and

00:12:21.879 --> 00:12:22.240
 kind of,

00:12:22.620 --> 00:12:23.160
 I wouldn't

00:12:23.160 --> 00:12:23.460
 have done

00:12:23.460 --> 00:12:24.000
 it of course,

00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:31.700
 spit on

00:12:31.700 --> 00:12:31.960
 him.

00:12:32.700 --> 00:12:33.200
 I remember

00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:33.679
 my dad

00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:34.399
 getting really

00:12:34.399 --> 00:12:36.799
 got me in

00:12:36.799 --> 00:12:37.059
 trouble,

00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:37.799
 I'll put it

00:12:37.799 --> 00:12:38.279
 that way,

00:12:38.419 --> 00:12:38.980
 when I

00:12:38.980 --> 00:12:39.620
 spat at

00:12:39.620 --> 00:12:40.159
 my brother.

00:12:40.360 --> 00:12:40.679
 It is

00:12:40.679 --> 00:12:41.299
 such an

00:12:41.299 --> 00:12:41.899
 offensive

00:12:41.899 --> 00:12:43.299
 thing to

00:12:43.299 --> 00:12:43.580
 do,

00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:44.159
 to spit

00:12:44.159 --> 00:12:44.659
 at someone.

00:12:49.059 --> 00:12:49.759
 It's so

00:12:49.759 --> 00:12:50.080
 unnecessary,

00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:50.679
 he's already

00:12:50.679 --> 00:12:51.259
 condemned.

00:12:52.940 --> 00:12:53.340
 They're just

00:12:53.340 --> 00:12:54.600
 making sport

00:12:54.600 --> 00:12:55.040
 of him.

00:12:59.500 --> 00:13:00.300
 So after

00:13:00.300 --> 00:13:00.540
 this,

00:13:00.620 --> 00:13:01.060
 the four

00:13:01.060 --> 00:13:01.720
 soldiers

00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:02.960
 were the

00:13:02.960 --> 00:13:03.500
 execution

00:13:03.500 --> 00:13:04.680
 squad and

00:13:04.680 --> 00:13:05.120
 make him

00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:05.460
 carry,

00:13:05.620 --> 00:13:06.139
 usually it

00:13:06.139 --> 00:13:06.300
 would just

00:13:06.300 --> 00:13:06.580
 be the

00:13:06.580 --> 00:13:07.200
 cross beam,

00:13:07.340 --> 00:13:07.680
 not the

00:13:07.680 --> 00:13:09.300
 whole cross

00:13:09.300 --> 00:13:09.899
 as usually

00:13:09.899 --> 00:13:10.360
 the pictures

00:13:10.360 --> 00:13:10.740
 say,

00:13:10.860 --> 00:13:12.139
 but take

00:13:12.139 --> 00:13:12.399
 him to

00:13:12.399 --> 00:13:12.920
 a public

00:13:12.920 --> 00:13:13.519
 place.

00:13:16.820 --> 00:13:17.200
 And now

00:13:17.200 --> 00:13:17.920
 crucifixion,

00:13:18.400 --> 00:13:19.540
 2,000 years

00:13:19.540 --> 00:13:20.360
 of Christian

00:13:20.360 --> 00:13:21.259
 tradition is

00:13:21.259 --> 00:13:21.900
 kind of

00:13:21.899 --> 00:13:25.179
 someone put

00:13:25.179 --> 00:13:25.480
 it as

00:13:25.480 --> 00:13:26.419
 domesticated

00:13:26.419 --> 00:13:26.659
 it.

00:13:29.720 --> 00:13:30.319
 Let me

00:13:30.319 --> 00:13:30.980
 read Tom

00:13:30.980 --> 00:13:31.579
 Holland's

00:13:31.579 --> 00:13:31.980
 description

00:13:31.980 --> 00:13:32.259
 now,

00:13:32.319 --> 00:13:32.679
 that's not

00:13:32.679 --> 00:13:33.319
 Spider-Man,

00:13:33.379 --> 00:13:33.799
 I'm sorry,

00:13:34.240 --> 00:13:34.679
 but something

00:13:34.679 --> 00:13:35.340
 way cooler,

00:13:35.559 --> 00:13:35.819
 he's a

00:13:35.819 --> 00:13:36.439
 historian,

00:13:37.559 --> 00:13:38.759
 way cooler,

00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:40.319
 he's not a

00:13:40.319 --> 00:13:40.579
 believer,

00:13:40.720 --> 00:13:41.159
 here's how he

00:13:41.159 --> 00:13:41.819
 describes it,

00:13:41.820 --> 00:13:44.560
 no death

00:13:44.560 --> 00:13:45.340
 was more

00:13:45.340 --> 00:13:46.400
 excruciating,

00:13:47.040 --> 00:13:48.120
 more contemptible

00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:49.120
 than crucifixion.

00:13:49.780 --> 00:13:50.460
 To be hung

00:13:50.460 --> 00:13:50.980
 naked,

00:13:51.140 --> 00:13:51.480
 long in

00:13:51.480 --> 00:13:51.860
 agony,

00:13:52.180 --> 00:13:52.600
 swelling

00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:53.440
 with ugly

00:13:53.440 --> 00:13:54.160
 wheels on

00:13:54.160 --> 00:13:54.940
 shoulders and

00:13:54.940 --> 00:13:55.360
 chests,

00:13:55.820 --> 00:13:56.520
 helpless to

00:13:56.520 --> 00:13:57.040
 beat away

00:13:57.040 --> 00:13:57.720
 the clamorous

00:13:57.720 --> 00:13:58.260
 birds,

00:13:58.580 --> 00:13:59.460
 such a fate

00:13:59.460 --> 00:13:59.940
 Roman

00:13:59.940 --> 00:14:00.780
 intellectuals

00:14:00.780 --> 00:14:01.660
 agreed was

00:14:01.660 --> 00:14:02.379
 the worst

00:14:02.379 --> 00:14:03.480
 imaginable.

00:14:03.800 --> 00:14:04.360
 This in

00:14:04.360 --> 00:14:04.760
 turn was

00:14:04.760 --> 00:14:05.280
 what rendered

00:14:05.280 --> 00:14:05.960
 it so

00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:06.760
 suitable

00:14:06.760 --> 00:14:07.680
 a punishment

00:14:07.680 --> 00:14:08.660
 for slaves.

00:14:08.659 --> 00:14:13.000
 The

00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:13.519
 corpses

00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:14.139
 of the

00:14:14.139 --> 00:14:14.699
 crucified,

00:14:15.839 --> 00:14:16.480
 once they

00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:17.139
 had first

00:14:17.139 --> 00:14:18.219
 provided

00:14:18.219 --> 00:14:18.939
 pickings for

00:14:18.939 --> 00:14:19.699
 hungry birds,

00:14:19.839 --> 00:14:20.360
 tended to be

00:14:20.360 --> 00:14:20.879
 flung into

00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:21.299
 a common

00:14:21.299 --> 00:14:21.779
 grave.

00:14:23.719 --> 00:14:24.659
 So foul

00:14:24.659 --> 00:14:25.699
 was the

00:14:25.699 --> 00:14:26.480
 reek of

00:14:26.480 --> 00:14:27.199
 their disgrace

00:14:27.199 --> 00:14:27.839
 that many

00:14:27.839 --> 00:14:28.899
 felt tainted

00:14:28.899 --> 00:14:30.240
 even by

00:14:30.240 --> 00:14:31.120
 viewing a

00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:31.819
 crucifixion.

00:14:33.779 --> 00:14:34.459
 Despite

00:14:34.459 --> 00:14:35.279
 the ubiquity

00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:36.179
 of crucifixion

00:14:36.179 --> 00:14:36.740
 across the

00:14:36.740 --> 00:14:37.259
 Roman world,

00:14:37.419 --> 00:14:38.120
 few cared

00:14:38.120 --> 00:14:38.480
 to think

00:14:38.480 --> 00:14:39.039
 much about

00:14:39.039 --> 00:14:39.180
 it.

00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:39.360
 The

00:14:39.360 --> 00:14:39.899
 surprise

00:14:39.899 --> 00:14:41.200
 is less

00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:41.519
 that we

00:14:41.519 --> 00:14:41.960
 should have

00:14:41.960 --> 00:14:42.680
 so few

00:14:42.680 --> 00:14:43.120
 detailed

00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:43.639
 descriptions

00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:44.200
 in ancient

00:14:44.200 --> 00:14:44.580
 literature

00:14:44.580 --> 00:14:45.700
 of what a

00:14:45.700 --> 00:14:46.259
 crucifixion

00:14:46.259 --> 00:14:46.740
 might actually

00:14:46.740 --> 00:14:47.120
 involve,

00:14:47.360 --> 00:14:47.600
 than we

00:14:47.600 --> 00:14:47.920
 should have

00:14:47.920 --> 00:14:48.300
 any at

00:14:48.300 --> 00:14:48.560
 all.

00:14:48.700 --> 00:14:49.539
 Even the

00:14:49.539 --> 00:14:49.759
 Roman

00:14:49.759 --> 00:14:50.580
 intellectuals

00:14:50.580 --> 00:14:50.899
 were going,

00:14:51.039 --> 00:14:51.240
 well,

00:14:51.659 --> 00:14:52.100
 we didn't

00:14:52.100 --> 00:14:52.659
 invent that,

00:14:53.159 --> 00:14:53.800
 the Assyrians

00:14:53.800 --> 00:14:54.480
 invented that.

00:15:00.200 --> 00:15:01.000
 It ended

00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:01.960
 by suffocation

00:15:01.960 --> 00:15:03.060
 usually,

00:15:03.259 --> 00:15:04.120
 or shock,

00:15:04.440 --> 00:15:05.800
 or heart

00:15:05.800 --> 00:15:06.200
 failure.

00:15:06.200 --> 00:15:08.000
 have to

00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:08.259
 lift

00:15:08.259 --> 00:15:08.620
 themselves

00:15:08.620 --> 00:15:09.259
 up on

00:15:09.259 --> 00:15:09.420
 the

00:15:09.420 --> 00:15:09.820
 wounds

00:15:09.820 --> 00:15:10.120
 to

00:15:10.120 --> 00:15:10.560
 breathe,

00:15:11.560 --> 00:15:12.820
 and then

00:15:12.820 --> 00:15:13.259
 collapse

00:15:13.259 --> 00:15:13.640
 again.

00:15:17.640 --> 00:15:18.240
 Now,

00:15:18.280 --> 00:15:18.759
 surprisingly

00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:19.520
 for Matthew,

00:15:20.040 --> 00:15:21.000
 the pain,

00:15:21.540 --> 00:15:22.879
 the pain

00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:23.960
 isn't focused

00:15:23.960 --> 00:15:24.420
 on at

00:15:24.420 --> 00:15:24.700
 all.

00:15:24.700 --> 00:15:27.620
 But I'm

00:15:27.620 --> 00:15:27.940
 hoping,

00:15:28.700 --> 00:15:29.120
 hearing from

00:15:29.120 --> 00:15:29.580
 Tom Holland,

00:15:29.800 --> 00:15:30.800
 we hear the

00:15:30.800 --> 00:15:32.340
 shame of it,

00:15:32.460 --> 00:15:34.840
 the disgrace

00:15:34.840 --> 00:15:35.420
 of it.

00:15:35.660 --> 00:15:36.220
 It's the

00:15:36.220 --> 00:15:37.500
 world rejecting

00:15:37.500 --> 00:15:38.160
 you as

00:15:38.160 --> 00:15:38.860
 lower than

00:15:38.860 --> 00:15:39.240
 human.

00:15:41.860 --> 00:15:42.759
 Roman law,

00:15:42.900 --> 00:15:43.240
 apparently,

00:15:43.940 --> 00:15:44.820
 citizens,

00:15:45.100 --> 00:15:45.680
 Roman citizens

00:15:45.680 --> 00:15:46.400
 were not

00:15:46.400 --> 00:15:47.360
 allowed to be

00:15:47.360 --> 00:15:47.740
 crucified,

00:15:47.900 --> 00:15:48.460
 unless Caesar

00:15:48.460 --> 00:15:49.259
 gave a direct

00:15:49.259 --> 00:15:51.679
 edict.

00:15:53.139 --> 00:15:53.879
 So here

00:15:53.879 --> 00:15:54.539
 we see

00:15:54.539 --> 00:15:56.039
 his world

00:15:56.039 --> 00:15:59.000
 mocking

00:15:59.000 --> 00:15:59.439
 him,

00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:00.679
 putting him

00:16:00.679 --> 00:16:01.299
 to shame,

00:16:03.100 --> 00:16:03.360
 because he's

00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:03.700
 weak,

00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:04.740
 he's a weak

00:16:04.740 --> 00:16:05.080
 king.

00:16:09.419 --> 00:16:10.159
 It's not

00:16:10.159 --> 00:16:10.879
 surprising

00:16:10.879 --> 00:16:11.439
 that the

00:16:11.439 --> 00:16:12.059
 enemies,

00:16:14.379 --> 00:16:14.899
 Gentiles,

00:16:14.980 --> 00:16:15.259
 would treat

00:16:15.259 --> 00:16:15.659
 the Son of

00:16:15.659 --> 00:16:15.939
 God that

00:16:15.939 --> 00:16:16.139
 way,

00:16:16.240 --> 00:16:16.559
 but then

00:16:16.559 --> 00:16:17.360
 verse 39

00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:18.200
 to 44,

00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:18.860
 for his

00:16:18.860 --> 00:16:19.600
 very own

00:16:19.600 --> 00:16:20.200
 people,

00:16:20.980 --> 00:16:22.580
 his own

00:16:22.580 --> 00:16:23.300
 family,

00:16:24.480 --> 00:16:24.780
 if I can

00:16:24.780 --> 00:16:25.180
 put it that

00:16:25.180 --> 00:16:25.379
 way.

00:16:28.600 --> 00:16:28.900
 But for

00:16:28.900 --> 00:16:29.640
 the Jews,

00:16:29.920 --> 00:16:30.460
 viewing the

00:16:30.460 --> 00:16:30.740
 cross,

00:16:30.840 --> 00:16:31.200
 it's not

00:16:31.200 --> 00:16:32.220
 just shame,

00:16:32.520 --> 00:16:34.060
 it's shame

00:16:34.060 --> 00:16:34.720
 from God

00:16:34.720 --> 00:16:35.180
 as well,

00:16:35.280 --> 00:16:35.720
 you're under

00:16:35.720 --> 00:16:36.560
 a curse.

00:16:38.540 --> 00:16:39.100
 Deuteronomy

00:16:39.100 --> 00:16:39.500
 21,

00:16:39.600 --> 00:16:39.960
 23,

00:16:40.300 --> 00:16:40.980
 you're

00:16:40.980 --> 00:16:41.660
 cursed by

00:16:41.660 --> 00:16:41.980
 God.

00:16:43.140 --> 00:16:44.660
 So the

00:16:44.660 --> 00:16:45.020
 leaders,

00:16:45.180 --> 00:16:45.800
 their aim

00:16:45.800 --> 00:16:46.460
 in getting

00:16:46.460 --> 00:16:47.080
 him crucified

00:16:47.080 --> 00:16:47.759
 is to

00:16:47.759 --> 00:16:48.419
 inflict as

00:16:48.419 --> 00:16:49.000
 much

00:16:49.000 --> 00:16:49.779
 public

00:16:49.779 --> 00:16:51.240
 revulsion

00:16:51.240 --> 00:16:52.939
 as possible

00:16:52.939 --> 00:16:53.659
 onto him.

00:16:55.399 --> 00:16:55.740
 He's

00:16:55.740 --> 00:16:56.379
 cursed,

00:16:57.379 --> 00:16:59.259
 cursed even

00:16:59.259 --> 00:16:59.819
 by God.

00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:03.120
 Verse 34,

00:17:03.220 --> 00:17:03.860
 the mockery

00:17:03.860 --> 00:17:05.000
 continues.

00:17:05.359 --> 00:17:05.900
 They offer

00:17:05.900 --> 00:17:06.319
 him a

00:17:06.319 --> 00:17:06.680
 drink

00:17:06.680 --> 00:17:08.539
 mixed with

00:17:08.539 --> 00:17:09.039
 gall.

00:17:09.879 --> 00:17:10.099
 Now,

00:17:10.259 --> 00:17:11.599
 possibly it's

00:17:11.599 --> 00:17:12.460
 a narcotic

00:17:12.460 --> 00:17:13.619
 to ease

00:17:13.619 --> 00:17:14.180
 the pain,

00:17:14.180 --> 00:17:14.220
 man,

00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:16.140
 but if

00:17:16.140 --> 00:17:16.500
 that's the

00:17:16.500 --> 00:17:16.779
 case,

00:17:16.900 --> 00:17:17.299
 then Jesus

00:17:17.299 --> 00:17:19.000
 is choosing

00:17:19.000 --> 00:17:20.880
 to be in

00:17:20.880 --> 00:17:21.240
 his right

00:17:21.240 --> 00:17:21.759
 mind through

00:17:21.759 --> 00:17:22.019
 this,

00:17:22.320 --> 00:17:22.759
 but more

00:17:22.759 --> 00:17:23.220
 likely,

00:17:24.660 --> 00:17:25.100
 it was part

00:17:25.100 --> 00:17:25.380
 of making

00:17:25.380 --> 00:17:25.700
 fun of

00:17:25.700 --> 00:17:25.840
 him.

00:17:26.840 --> 00:17:27.080
 Here,

00:17:27.200 --> 00:17:27.600
 let's put

00:17:27.600 --> 00:17:28.560
 something so

00:17:28.560 --> 00:17:29.340
 bitter in

00:17:29.340 --> 00:17:29.880
 his drink,

00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:30.680
 he thinks

00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:31.200
 it's going to

00:17:31.200 --> 00:17:32.480
 give him a

00:17:32.480 --> 00:17:33.299
 little bit of

00:17:33.299 --> 00:17:34.860
 comfort that

00:17:34.860 --> 00:17:35.299
 he has to

00:17:35.299 --> 00:17:36.000
 spit it out

00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:36.460
 because it's

00:17:36.460 --> 00:17:37.640
 so bitter.

00:17:43.000 --> 00:17:43.900
 And probably

00:17:43.900 --> 00:17:44.380
 naked,

00:17:44.980 --> 00:17:47.599
 they cast

00:17:47.599 --> 00:17:47.900
 lots,

00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:48.500
 they gamble

00:17:48.500 --> 00:17:49.200
 for his

00:17:49.200 --> 00:17:51.279
 sandals and

00:17:51.279 --> 00:17:51.940
 belts and

00:17:51.940 --> 00:17:52.960
 inner and

00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:53.539
 outer garment.

00:17:53.539 --> 00:17:57.960
 And the

00:17:57.960 --> 00:17:58.799
 people passing

00:17:58.799 --> 00:17:59.299
 by,

00:17:59.460 --> 00:18:00.000
 they hurl

00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:01.259
 insults as

00:18:01.259 --> 00:18:01.440
 well.

00:18:01.720 --> 00:18:02.099
 And here's

00:18:02.099 --> 00:18:02.319
 where we

00:18:02.319 --> 00:18:02.819
 turn to the

00:18:02.819 --> 00:18:03.319
 salvation

00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:04.000
 theme.

00:18:04.740 --> 00:18:05.319
 You who

00:18:05.319 --> 00:18:05.899
 are trying

00:18:05.899 --> 00:18:06.519
 to destroy

00:18:06.519 --> 00:18:07.000
 the temple

00:18:07.000 --> 00:18:07.659
 and rebuild

00:18:07.659 --> 00:18:07.899
 it in

00:18:07.899 --> 00:18:08.460
 three days,

00:18:09.839 --> 00:18:10.399
 save

00:18:10.399 --> 00:18:10.879
 yourself.

00:18:11.700 --> 00:18:12.200
 You can't

00:18:12.200 --> 00:18:12.920
 even save

00:18:12.920 --> 00:18:13.460
 yourself.

00:18:16.740 --> 00:18:17.440
 And the

00:18:17.440 --> 00:18:18.159
 Sanhedrin,

00:18:19.599 --> 00:18:22.740
 he saved

00:18:22.740 --> 00:18:23.180
 others.

00:18:23.180 --> 00:18:23.920
 that's

00:18:23.920 --> 00:18:24.200
 probably

00:18:24.200 --> 00:18:24.799
 referring to

00:18:24.799 --> 00:18:25.440
 his healing

00:18:25.440 --> 00:18:25.860
 ministry,

00:18:25.960 --> 00:18:26.460
 he saved

00:18:26.460 --> 00:18:26.820
 others.

00:18:28.100 --> 00:18:28.820
 He doesn't

00:18:28.820 --> 00:18:29.200
 even have

00:18:29.200 --> 00:18:29.560
 supernatural

00:18:29.560 --> 00:18:30.420
 power to

00:18:30.420 --> 00:18:30.940
 save himself.

00:18:31.060 --> 00:18:31.500
 What kind

00:18:31.500 --> 00:18:32.039
 of saviour

00:18:32.039 --> 00:18:32.420
 are you?

00:18:32.759 --> 00:18:33.120
 You can't

00:18:33.120 --> 00:18:33.539
 even save

00:18:33.539 --> 00:18:33.900
 yourself.

00:18:40.580 --> 00:18:41.120
 Why are

00:18:41.120 --> 00:18:41.539
 they saying

00:18:41.539 --> 00:18:41.900
 this?

00:18:43.340 --> 00:18:44.000
 He's already

00:18:44.000 --> 00:18:44.480
 condemned.

00:18:49.440 --> 00:18:50.000
 I don't

00:18:50.000 --> 00:18:50.160
 know,

00:18:50.279 --> 00:18:51.200
 it seems

00:18:51.200 --> 00:18:51.580
 to me,

00:18:51.700 --> 00:18:52.060
 let's see

00:18:52.060 --> 00:18:52.340
 what you

00:18:52.340 --> 00:18:52.519
 think,

00:18:52.580 --> 00:18:52.940
 it seems

00:18:52.940 --> 00:18:53.160
 to me,

00:18:53.220 --> 00:18:53.360
 they're

00:18:53.360 --> 00:18:54.680
 trying to

00:18:54.680 --> 00:18:56.080
 strip

00:18:56.080 --> 00:18:56.480
 him of

00:18:56.480 --> 00:18:57.400
 any

00:18:57.400 --> 00:18:58.299
 human

00:18:58.299 --> 00:18:59.700
 dignity

00:18:59.700 --> 00:19:01.680
 or worth

00:19:01.680 --> 00:19:02.960
 reputable

00:19:02.960 --> 00:19:04.759
 even as

00:19:04.759 --> 00:19:04.980
 he's

00:19:04.980 --> 00:19:05.380
 dying.

00:19:08.100 --> 00:19:08.700
 The

00:19:08.700 --> 00:19:09.019
 mockery

00:19:09.019 --> 00:19:09.600
 continues

00:19:09.600 --> 00:19:09.960
 with this

00:19:09.960 --> 00:19:10.180
 whole

00:19:10.180 --> 00:19:10.640
 Elijah

00:19:10.640 --> 00:19:10.960
 bit.

00:19:12.600 --> 00:19:12.960
 Some

00:19:12.960 --> 00:19:13.320
 Jewish

00:19:13.320 --> 00:19:13.860
 tradition

00:19:13.860 --> 00:19:14.740
 held that

00:19:14.740 --> 00:19:15.299
 Elijah would

00:19:15.299 --> 00:19:15.880
 come rescue

00:19:15.880 --> 00:19:16.420
 the righteous.

00:19:17.640 --> 00:19:17.799
 Now,

00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:18.519
 offering him

00:19:18.519 --> 00:19:18.940
 a drink,

00:19:18.940 --> 00:19:19.480
 that's

00:19:19.480 --> 00:19:19.779
 hard to

00:19:19.779 --> 00:19:19.980
 say

00:19:19.980 --> 00:19:20.519
 to

00:19:20.519 --> 00:19:20.519


00:19:20.519 --> 00:19:18.940
 a drink,

00:19:18.940 --> 00:19:19.480
 that's

00:19:19.480 --> 00:19:19.779
 hard to

00:19:19.779 --> 00:19:19.980
 say

00:19:19.980 --> 00:19:20.240
 whether

00:19:20.240 --> 00:19:20.819
 they're

00:19:20.819 --> 00:19:22.660
 is that

00:19:22.660 --> 00:19:23.180
 compassion

00:19:23.180 --> 00:19:23.680
 or it

00:19:23.680 --> 00:19:23.960
 could be

00:19:23.960 --> 00:19:25.019
 part of

00:19:25.019 --> 00:19:25.319
 their

00:19:25.319 --> 00:19:26.000
 hey,

00:19:26.259 --> 00:19:26.400
 here,

00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:26.740
 have a

00:19:26.740 --> 00:19:27.200
 drink so

00:19:27.200 --> 00:19:27.460
 that you

00:19:27.460 --> 00:19:27.839
 survive

00:19:27.839 --> 00:19:28.220
 longer

00:19:28.220 --> 00:19:29.099
 and suffer

00:19:29.099 --> 00:19:29.460
 longer.

00:19:29.819 --> 00:19:30.200
 It could

00:19:30.200 --> 00:19:30.660
 be part

00:19:30.660 --> 00:19:30.980
 of their

00:19:30.980 --> 00:19:32.680
 mockery.

00:19:32.680 --> 00:19:36.240
 it probably

00:19:36.240 --> 00:19:36.820
 is them

00:19:36.820 --> 00:19:37.420
 sitting there

00:19:37.420 --> 00:19:37.779
 going,

00:19:38.940 --> 00:19:39.320
 all right,

00:19:39.480 --> 00:19:39.940
 let's wait

00:19:39.940 --> 00:19:40.400
 to see if

00:19:40.400 --> 00:19:41.080
 Elijah comes,

00:19:41.140 --> 00:19:41.460
 he's not

00:19:41.460 --> 00:19:41.779
 coming.

00:19:44.019 --> 00:19:44.580
 Let's

00:19:44.580 --> 00:19:45.240
 prolong his

00:19:45.240 --> 00:19:45.680
 life

00:19:45.680 --> 00:19:49.180
 because God's

00:19:49.180 --> 00:19:49.539
 not going to

00:19:49.539 --> 00:19:50.080
 rescue him.

00:19:55.960 --> 00:19:56.820
 There's no

00:19:56.820 --> 00:19:58.660
 reference to

00:19:58.660 --> 00:19:59.700
 Psalm 22.

00:20:00.120 --> 00:20:00.340
 Matthew

00:20:00.340 --> 00:20:00.880
 doesn't say

00:20:00.880 --> 00:20:01.460
 this is to

00:20:01.460 --> 00:20:02.019
 fulfill

00:20:02.019 --> 00:20:03.079
 but it

00:20:03.079 --> 00:20:03.460
 is

00:20:03.460 --> 00:20:05.720
 fulfilling

00:20:05.720 --> 00:20:06.879
 Psalm 22

00:20:06.879 --> 00:20:07.559
 written by

00:20:07.559 --> 00:20:08.099
 King David

00:20:08.099 --> 00:20:08.379
 with

00:20:08.379 --> 00:20:09.000
 precision.

00:20:12.500 --> 00:20:13.180
 The

00:20:13.180 --> 00:20:13.579
 religious

00:20:13.579 --> 00:20:14.000
 leaders,

00:20:14.099 --> 00:20:14.500
 they did

00:20:14.500 --> 00:20:15.019
 not know

00:20:15.019 --> 00:20:15.339
 that they

00:20:15.339 --> 00:20:15.460
 were

00:20:15.460 --> 00:20:16.059
 fulfilling

00:20:16.059 --> 00:20:18.160
 verse 8

00:20:18.160 --> 00:20:19.220
 of Psalm

00:20:19.220 --> 00:20:19.680
 22.

00:20:19.859 --> 00:20:20.460
 He trusts

00:20:20.460 --> 00:20:20.759
 in the

00:20:20.759 --> 00:20:21.019
 Lord,

00:20:21.119 --> 00:20:21.539
 let him

00:20:21.539 --> 00:20:22.220
 deliver him,

00:20:22.799 --> 00:20:23.400
 let him

00:20:23.400 --> 00:20:24.240
 rescue him

00:20:24.240 --> 00:20:24.619
 for he

00:20:24.619 --> 00:20:25.240
 delights

00:20:25.240 --> 00:20:26.759
 in him.

00:20:29.859 --> 00:20:30.099
 The

00:20:30.099 --> 00:20:30.599
 dogs

00:20:30.599 --> 00:20:31.160
 encompass

00:20:31.160 --> 00:20:31.579
 me,

00:20:32.019 --> 00:20:33.559
 a company

00:20:33.559 --> 00:20:33.799
 of

00:20:33.799 --> 00:20:34.559
 evildoers

00:20:34.559 --> 00:20:35.279
 encircles

00:20:35.279 --> 00:20:35.559
 me.

00:20:36.720 --> 00:20:36.960
 They

00:20:36.960 --> 00:20:37.180
 have

00:20:37.180 --> 00:20:37.720
 pierced

00:20:37.720 --> 00:20:38.440
 my hands

00:20:38.440 --> 00:20:39.039
 and feet.

00:20:41.500 --> 00:20:42.180
 For my

00:20:42.180 --> 00:20:42.720
 clothing

00:20:42.720 --> 00:20:43.039
 they

00:20:43.039 --> 00:20:43.500
 cast

00:20:43.500 --> 00:20:43.980
 lots.

00:20:46.980 --> 00:20:47.759
 This is

00:20:47.759 --> 00:20:48.139
 the one

00:20:48.139 --> 00:20:48.579
 man in

00:20:48.579 --> 00:20:49.139
 all history

00:20:49.139 --> 00:20:49.460
 whose

00:20:49.460 --> 00:20:50.019
 biography

00:20:50.019 --> 00:20:50.619
 was written

00:20:50.619 --> 00:20:51.259
 before he

00:20:51.259 --> 00:20:51.740
 existed.

00:20:51.740 --> 00:20:58.839
 weak,

00:20:58.839 --> 00:20:59.960
 king,

00:20:59.960 --> 00:20:59.960


00:21:00.900 --> 00:21:01.579
 cursed,

00:21:02.579 --> 00:21:03.120
 king.

00:21:05.120 --> 00:21:06.319
 Psalm 22

00:21:06.319 --> 00:21:07.319
 and Isaiah

00:21:07.319 --> 00:21:08.180
 53 say,

00:21:08.279 --> 00:21:08.500
 yes,

00:21:08.579 --> 00:21:09.039
 that's right.

00:21:09.599 --> 00:21:09.859
 That's

00:21:09.859 --> 00:21:10.220
 exactly

00:21:10.220 --> 00:21:10.579
 right.

00:21:10.579 --> 00:21:15.879
 my God,

00:21:15.960 --> 00:21:16.460
 my God,

00:21:16.460 --> 00:21:17.039
 why have

00:21:17.039 --> 00:21:17.179
 you

00:21:17.179 --> 00:21:17.599
 forsaken

00:21:17.599 --> 00:21:17.879
 me?

00:21:24.000 --> 00:21:24.619
 That

00:21:24.619 --> 00:21:26.359
 verse is

00:21:26.359 --> 00:21:27.159
 the key to

00:21:27.159 --> 00:21:27.720
 understanding

00:21:27.720 --> 00:21:28.379
 this passage.

00:21:29.659 --> 00:21:30.319
 My God,

00:21:30.419 --> 00:21:30.839
 my God,

00:21:30.960 --> 00:21:31.980
 why have

00:21:31.980 --> 00:21:32.119
 you

00:21:32.119 --> 00:21:32.519
 forsaken

00:21:32.519 --> 00:21:32.779
 me?

00:21:32.779 --> 00:21:36.819
 what does

00:21:36.819 --> 00:21:37.279
 the cross

00:21:37.279 --> 00:21:37.700
 mean?

00:21:38.500 --> 00:21:38.700
 Now,

00:21:38.779 --> 00:21:39.139
 some

00:21:39.139 --> 00:21:39.660
 who

00:21:39.660 --> 00:21:41.799
 claim the

00:21:41.799 --> 00:21:42.079
 title

00:21:42.079 --> 00:21:42.559
 Christian

00:21:42.559 --> 00:21:44.500
 use the

00:21:44.500 --> 00:21:45.519
 cross as

00:21:45.519 --> 00:21:46.920
 he's our

00:21:46.920 --> 00:21:47.500
 example.

00:21:48.599 --> 00:21:48.940
 Look at

00:21:48.940 --> 00:21:49.639
 his love

00:21:49.639 --> 00:21:51.059
 laying down

00:21:51.059 --> 00:21:51.480
 his life

00:21:51.480 --> 00:21:51.940
 for others.

00:21:52.539 --> 00:21:53.220
 It is that,

00:21:53.579 --> 00:21:53.899
 but some

00:21:53.899 --> 00:21:54.440
 people claim

00:21:54.440 --> 00:21:55.139
 that's what's

00:21:55.139 --> 00:21:55.799
 the primary

00:21:55.799 --> 00:21:56.259
 meaning,

00:21:56.379 --> 00:21:56.799
 that's it,

00:21:56.799 --> 00:21:57.339
 he's an

00:21:57.339 --> 00:21:57.960
 example to

00:21:57.960 --> 00:21:58.240
 follow.

00:21:58.240 --> 00:22:02.299
 I've heard

00:22:02.299 --> 00:22:02.859
 an illustration

00:22:02.859 --> 00:22:05.059
 how strange

00:22:05.059 --> 00:22:05.880
 that idea

00:22:05.880 --> 00:22:06.200
 is.

00:22:08.299 --> 00:22:09.259
 If you

00:22:09.259 --> 00:22:09.779
 were walking

00:22:09.779 --> 00:22:10.500
 beside a

00:22:10.500 --> 00:22:11.079
 riverbank with

00:22:11.079 --> 00:22:12.700
 someone and

00:22:12.700 --> 00:22:13.740
 you said,

00:22:13.839 --> 00:22:14.160
 I want to

00:22:14.160 --> 00:22:14.599
 show my

00:22:14.599 --> 00:22:15.019
 love for

00:22:15.019 --> 00:22:16.339
 you and

00:22:16.339 --> 00:22:17.059
 the river

00:22:17.059 --> 00:22:17.500
 is in

00:22:17.500 --> 00:22:17.960
 flood.

00:22:18.420 --> 00:22:18.920
 I'm going

00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:19.120
 to show

00:22:19.120 --> 00:22:19.539
 my love

00:22:19.539 --> 00:22:20.240
 and you

00:22:20.240 --> 00:22:20.819
 just dive

00:22:20.819 --> 00:22:22.460
 in and

00:22:22.460 --> 00:22:23.160
 get swept

00:22:23.160 --> 00:22:24.019
 away and

00:22:24.019 --> 00:22:24.339
 die.

00:22:27.039 --> 00:22:27.720
 That's not

00:22:27.720 --> 00:22:28.500
 showing love.

00:22:28.819 --> 00:22:29.920
 That's why

00:22:29.920 --> 00:22:30.339
 on earth

00:22:30.339 --> 00:22:30.620
 would you

00:22:30.620 --> 00:22:31.120
 do that?

00:22:31.600 --> 00:22:32.019
 But if

00:22:32.019 --> 00:22:32.500
 that person

00:22:32.500 --> 00:22:32.980
 was in

00:22:32.980 --> 00:22:33.440
 the river

00:22:33.440 --> 00:22:34.900
 and you

00:22:34.900 --> 00:22:36.079
 jumped in

00:22:36.079 --> 00:22:37.360
 to save

00:22:37.360 --> 00:22:39.360
 them and

00:22:39.360 --> 00:22:39.640
 you were

00:22:39.640 --> 00:22:40.180
 swept away

00:22:40.180 --> 00:22:40.539
 and die,

00:22:41.339 --> 00:22:41.640
 okay,

00:22:41.839 --> 00:22:42.759
 that's love.

00:22:44.039 --> 00:22:45.120
 There must

00:22:45.120 --> 00:22:45.839
 be

00:22:45.839 --> 00:22:48.620
 some

00:22:48.620 --> 00:22:50.000
 salvation

00:22:50.000 --> 00:22:50.440
 happening

00:22:50.440 --> 00:22:51.000
 here for

00:22:51.000 --> 00:22:51.259
 it to

00:22:51.259 --> 00:22:51.920
 even be

00:22:51.920 --> 00:22:52.579
 an example

00:22:52.579 --> 00:22:53.220
 of love.

00:22:55.900 --> 00:22:56.900
 My God,

00:22:56.980 --> 00:22:57.440
 my God,

00:22:57.440 --> 00:22:58.420
 why have

00:22:58.420 --> 00:22:58.840
 you

00:22:58.840 --> 00:23:00.059
 forsaken

00:23:00.059 --> 00:23:00.460
 me?

00:23:02.720 --> 00:23:03.600
 It is

00:23:03.600 --> 00:23:04.180
 way more

00:23:04.180 --> 00:23:04.519
 than just

00:23:04.519 --> 00:23:04.960
 example.

00:23:06.180 --> 00:23:06.980
 He's doing

00:23:06.980 --> 00:23:07.779
 something for

00:23:07.779 --> 00:23:08.080
 us.

00:23:11.480 --> 00:23:12.180
 I've only

00:23:12.180 --> 00:23:12.580
 been married

00:23:12.580 --> 00:23:13.759
 12 years,

00:23:13.820 --> 00:23:14.059
 I hope

00:23:14.059 --> 00:23:14.559
 that's right.

00:23:18.140 --> 00:23:18.700
 I'm

00:23:18.700 --> 00:23:19.240
 beginning to

00:23:19.240 --> 00:23:19.759
 appreciate

00:23:19.759 --> 00:23:20.820
 older saints.

00:23:22.320 --> 00:23:23.039
 When they've

00:23:23.039 --> 00:23:23.539
 been married

00:23:23.539 --> 00:23:24.360
 and they

00:23:24.360 --> 00:23:24.940
 lose their

00:23:24.940 --> 00:23:25.620
 spouse of

00:23:25.620 --> 00:23:26.259
 30,

00:23:26.440 --> 00:23:26.820
 40,

00:23:27.299 --> 00:23:28.120
 50 years

00:23:28.120 --> 00:23:29.460
 and just

00:23:29.460 --> 00:23:29.680
 the

00:23:29.680 --> 00:23:30.259
 expressions

00:23:30.259 --> 00:23:30.680
 of

00:23:30.680 --> 00:23:33.420
 just a

00:23:33.420 --> 00:23:34.080
 massive

00:23:34.080 --> 00:23:34.880
 part of

00:23:34.880 --> 00:23:35.720
 themselves

00:23:35.720 --> 00:23:36.640
 are gone.

00:23:38.680 --> 00:23:39.160
 One

00:23:39.160 --> 00:23:39.539
 person is

00:23:39.539 --> 00:23:40.640
 like the

00:23:40.640 --> 00:23:41.259
 world is

00:23:41.259 --> 00:23:42.580
 lost its

00:23:42.580 --> 00:23:43.000
 colour.

00:23:44.680 --> 00:23:45.480
 It's just

00:23:45.480 --> 00:23:46.920
 black and

00:23:46.920 --> 00:23:47.500
 white now.

00:23:47.500 --> 00:23:48.779
 I'm

00:23:48.779 --> 00:23:49.500
 starting to

00:23:49.500 --> 00:23:49.940
 appreciate

00:23:49.940 --> 00:23:50.279
 that.

00:23:50.279 --> 00:23:52.960
 When you've

00:23:52.960 --> 00:23:53.539
 known that

00:23:53.539 --> 00:23:54.619
 love for so

00:23:54.619 --> 00:23:54.980
 long,

00:23:55.400 --> 00:23:55.859
 now that's

00:23:55.859 --> 00:23:56.500
 just 50

00:23:56.500 --> 00:23:57.039
 years,

00:23:59.819 --> 00:24:00.220
 what

00:24:00.220 --> 00:24:02.599
 agony

00:24:02.599 --> 00:24:03.160
 would it

00:24:03.160 --> 00:24:04.480
 be to

00:24:04.480 --> 00:24:05.240
 lose the

00:24:05.240 --> 00:24:05.980
 love you've

00:24:05.980 --> 00:24:06.619
 experienced

00:24:06.619 --> 00:24:08.079
 for eternity?

00:24:08.079 --> 00:24:10.980
 you've

00:24:10.980 --> 00:24:11.500
 known it

00:24:11.500 --> 00:24:12.139
 for

00:24:12.139 --> 00:24:12.819
 eternity.

00:24:18.539 --> 00:24:19.139
 Here's

00:24:19.139 --> 00:24:19.279
 his

00:24:19.279 --> 00:24:19.839
 relationship

00:24:19.839 --> 00:24:20.159
 in

00:24:20.159 --> 00:24:20.539
 Matthew

00:24:20.539 --> 00:24:20.839
 11.

00:24:21.539 --> 00:24:22.079
 No one

00:24:22.079 --> 00:24:23.039
 knows the

00:24:23.039 --> 00:24:23.639
 son except

00:24:23.639 --> 00:24:24.199
 the father

00:24:24.199 --> 00:24:25.460
 and no one

00:24:25.460 --> 00:24:26.119
 knows the

00:24:26.119 --> 00:24:27.099
 father except

00:24:27.099 --> 00:24:28.220
 the son.

00:24:32.899 --> 00:24:33.699
 But it's

00:24:33.699 --> 00:24:34.119
 worse than

00:24:34.119 --> 00:24:34.799
 just loss

00:24:34.799 --> 00:24:35.419
 and tragedy,

00:24:35.799 --> 00:24:36.019
 it's

00:24:36.019 --> 00:24:36.839
 abandonment.

00:24:38.079 --> 00:24:38.679
 It's

00:24:38.679 --> 00:24:39.460
 rejection.

00:24:43.379 --> 00:24:44.500
 It made

00:24:44.500 --> 00:24:44.819
 me think

00:24:44.819 --> 00:24:45.359
 of someone

00:24:45.359 --> 00:24:48.299
 falsely

00:24:48.299 --> 00:24:49.019
 arrested by

00:24:49.019 --> 00:24:49.619
 the police

00:24:49.619 --> 00:24:50.859
 and their

00:24:50.859 --> 00:24:52.980
 father was

00:24:52.980 --> 00:24:53.439
 against

00:24:53.439 --> 00:24:53.839
 them.

00:24:55.439 --> 00:24:56.079
 It's

00:24:56.079 --> 00:24:56.939
 abandonment.

00:25:01.759 --> 00:25:03.039
 He really

00:25:03.039 --> 00:25:03.879
 is being

00:25:03.879 --> 00:25:04.480
 forsaken,

00:25:04.859 --> 00:25:05.259
 abandoned.

00:25:06.119 --> 00:25:06.579
 We are

00:25:06.579 --> 00:25:07.000
 witnessing

00:25:07.000 --> 00:25:07.519
 hell.

00:25:08.079 --> 00:25:11.039
 that I

00:25:11.039 --> 00:25:11.619
 deserve

00:25:11.619 --> 00:25:12.599
 to receive

00:25:12.599 --> 00:25:13.099
 from God.

00:25:13.179 --> 00:25:13.799
 The darkness

00:25:13.799 --> 00:25:15.639
 is just

00:25:15.639 --> 00:25:17.099
 the darkness

00:25:17.099 --> 00:25:17.720
 in the sky

00:25:17.720 --> 00:25:18.359
 at that time

00:25:18.359 --> 00:25:18.799
 was just

00:25:18.799 --> 00:25:20.500
 this hint

00:25:20.500 --> 00:25:21.039
 at the

00:25:21.039 --> 00:25:21.539
 deep

00:25:21.539 --> 00:25:22.279
 rejection

00:25:22.279 --> 00:25:23.259
 taking place.

00:25:27.699 --> 00:25:28.379
 The

00:25:28.379 --> 00:25:29.059
 horror of

00:25:29.059 --> 00:25:29.839
 the world's

00:25:29.839 --> 00:25:30.199
 sin

00:25:30.199 --> 00:25:30.980
 laid on

00:25:30.980 --> 00:25:31.299
 him.

00:25:31.299 --> 00:25:40.079
 reading the

00:25:40.079 --> 00:25:40.740
 Bible story

00:25:40.740 --> 00:25:41.279
 with Sam

00:25:41.279 --> 00:25:41.940
 last night

00:25:41.940 --> 00:25:44.399
 and he

00:25:44.399 --> 00:25:44.940
 said it

00:25:44.940 --> 00:25:45.419
 wasn't the

00:25:45.419 --> 00:25:45.980
 nails

00:25:45.980 --> 00:25:47.599
 keeping

00:25:47.599 --> 00:25:48.779
 Jesus

00:25:48.779 --> 00:25:49.200
 there.

00:25:50.680 --> 00:25:51.220
 I was

00:25:51.220 --> 00:25:51.339
 like,

00:25:51.399 --> 00:25:51.519
 oh,

00:25:51.599 --> 00:25:52.339
 that's an

00:25:52.339 --> 00:25:53.159
 insightful

00:25:53.159 --> 00:25:53.680
 comment.

00:25:54.359 --> 00:25:54.759
 What,

00:25:55.759 --> 00:25:56.859
 what,

00:25:57.139 --> 00:25:57.619
 why did he

00:25:57.619 --> 00:25:58.079
 stay there

00:25:58.079 --> 00:25:58.299
 then?

00:25:58.299 --> 00:25:59.960
 to die

00:25:59.960 --> 00:26:00.379
 for our

00:26:00.379 --> 00:26:00.799
 sins?

00:26:06.440 --> 00:26:07.539
 We see

00:26:07.539 --> 00:26:07.940
 the love

00:26:07.940 --> 00:26:08.240
 of God

00:26:08.240 --> 00:26:08.879
 in Christ,

00:26:09.460 --> 00:26:10.259
 the whole

00:26:10.259 --> 00:26:10.899
 world

00:26:10.899 --> 00:26:12.759
 debasing

00:26:12.759 --> 00:26:13.119
 him.

00:26:14.279 --> 00:26:14.480
 His

00:26:14.480 --> 00:26:15.079
 father,

00:26:16.759 --> 00:26:17.619
 he's known

00:26:17.619 --> 00:26:18.019
 his love

00:26:18.019 --> 00:26:18.379
 for all

00:26:18.379 --> 00:26:18.919
 eternity,

00:26:19.879 --> 00:26:20.539
 abandoning

00:26:20.539 --> 00:26:21.220
 him and

00:26:21.220 --> 00:26:21.799
 he stayed.

00:26:22.319 --> 00:26:22.919
 He stayed.

00:26:22.920 --> 00:26:23.759
 that's

00:26:23.759 --> 00:26:24.180
 his love.

00:26:31.380 --> 00:26:31.860
 There's

00:26:31.860 --> 00:26:32.019
 going to

00:26:32.019 --> 00:26:32.640
 be times

00:26:32.640 --> 00:26:33.019
 in each

00:26:33.019 --> 00:26:33.240
 of our

00:26:33.240 --> 00:26:33.500
 lives

00:26:33.500 --> 00:26:33.840
 where we

00:26:33.840 --> 00:26:34.400
 feel like

00:26:34.400 --> 00:26:34.880
 we are

00:26:34.880 --> 00:26:35.279
 utterly

00:26:35.279 --> 00:26:35.940
 forsaken

00:26:35.940 --> 00:26:36.440
 by God.

00:26:36.519 --> 00:26:36.820
 He's not

00:26:36.820 --> 00:26:37.140
 answering

00:26:37.140 --> 00:26:37.360
 our

00:26:37.360 --> 00:26:37.720
 prayers.

00:26:41.920 --> 00:26:42.400
 You

00:26:42.400 --> 00:26:43.000
 feel

00:26:43.000 --> 00:26:43.640
 nothing

00:26:43.640 --> 00:26:44.180
 of his

00:26:44.180 --> 00:26:44.620
 presence.

00:26:45.180 --> 00:26:45.300
 His

00:26:45.300 --> 00:26:45.680
 word

00:26:45.680 --> 00:26:46.000
 just

00:26:46.000 --> 00:26:48.160
 doesn't

00:26:48.160 --> 00:26:48.860
 feed you

00:26:48.860 --> 00:26:49.200
 as it

00:26:49.200 --> 00:26:49.700
 once did.

00:26:49.700 --> 00:26:52.440
 there

00:26:52.440 --> 00:26:52.640
 was

00:26:52.640 --> 00:26:55.100
 a

00:26:55.100 --> 00:26:55.460
 Christian

00:26:55.460 --> 00:26:55.860
 poet,

00:26:55.960 --> 00:26:56.360
 we sing

00:26:56.360 --> 00:26:56.740
 some of

00:26:56.740 --> 00:26:57.240
 his songs,

00:26:57.420 --> 00:26:57.779
 William

00:26:57.779 --> 00:26:58.319
 Cowper,

00:26:58.420 --> 00:26:58.740
 who had

00:26:58.740 --> 00:26:59.440
 several

00:26:59.440 --> 00:27:00.240
 rounds of

00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:00.880
 suicidal

00:27:00.880 --> 00:27:01.440
 depression

00:27:01.440 --> 00:27:02.500
 and

00:27:02.500 --> 00:27:05.840
 this

00:27:05.840 --> 00:27:06.440
 lady wrote

00:27:06.440 --> 00:27:06.819
 a poem

00:27:06.819 --> 00:27:07.360
 for him

00:27:07.360 --> 00:27:11.900
 about

00:27:11.900 --> 00:27:12.200
 this

00:27:12.200 --> 00:27:12.640
 passage.

00:27:12.980 --> 00:27:13.100
 Yea,

00:27:13.180 --> 00:27:13.759
 once

00:27:13.759 --> 00:27:14.920
 Emmanuel's

00:27:14.920 --> 00:27:15.960
 orphaned

00:27:15.960 --> 00:27:16.440
 cry,

00:27:17.500 --> 00:27:17.700
 his

00:27:17.700 --> 00:27:18.440
 universe

00:27:18.440 --> 00:27:19.440
 universe

00:27:19.440 --> 00:27:19.840
 hath

00:27:19.840 --> 00:27:20.259
 shaken.

00:27:21.460 --> 00:27:22.100
 It

00:27:22.100 --> 00:27:22.680
 went up

00:27:22.680 --> 00:27:23.420
 single,

00:27:24.200 --> 00:27:24.900
 echo-less,

00:27:25.340 --> 00:27:26.100
 my God,

00:27:26.600 --> 00:27:27.039
 I am

00:27:27.039 --> 00:27:27.539
 forsaken.

00:27:28.539 --> 00:27:29.259
 It

00:27:29.259 --> 00:27:29.820
 went up

00:27:29.820 --> 00:27:30.700
 from the

00:27:30.700 --> 00:27:31.259
 Holy's

00:27:31.259 --> 00:27:31.660
 lips

00:27:31.660 --> 00:27:33.160
 amid

00:27:33.160 --> 00:27:33.539
 his

00:27:33.539 --> 00:27:33.880
 lost

00:27:33.880 --> 00:27:34.480
 creation,

00:27:35.400 --> 00:27:35.680
 that

00:27:35.680 --> 00:27:36.460
 of the

00:27:36.460 --> 00:27:36.820
 lost

00:27:36.820 --> 00:27:37.360
 no

00:27:37.360 --> 00:27:37.920
 son

00:27:37.920 --> 00:27:38.259
 should

00:27:38.259 --> 00:27:38.680
 use

00:27:38.680 --> 00:27:39.039
 those

00:27:39.039 --> 00:27:39.720
 words

00:27:39.720 --> 00:27:40.539
 of

00:27:40.539 --> 00:27:41.279
 desolation.

00:27:43.279 --> 00:27:43.920
 In

00:27:43.920 --> 00:27:44.080
 other

00:27:44.080 --> 00:27:44.240
 words,

00:27:44.360 --> 00:27:44.620
 Jesus

00:27:44.620 --> 00:27:45.000
 cry,

00:27:45.860 --> 00:27:46.440
 my God,

00:27:46.500 --> 00:27:46.759
 I am

00:27:46.759 --> 00:27:47.220
 forsaken,

00:27:47.220 --> 00:27:48.160
 you should

00:27:48.160 --> 00:27:48.640
 not use

00:27:48.640 --> 00:27:48.860
 those

00:27:48.860 --> 00:27:49.220
 words,

00:27:49.920 --> 00:27:50.720
 because you're

00:27:50.720 --> 00:27:50.920
 not,

00:27:51.140 --> 00:27:51.460
 you never

00:27:51.460 --> 00:27:51.940
 will be.

00:27:53.200 --> 00:27:53.940
 However you

00:27:53.940 --> 00:27:54.220
 feel,

00:27:54.339 --> 00:27:54.779
 you never

00:27:54.779 --> 00:27:55.299
 will be,

00:27:56.299 --> 00:27:57.360
 now or

00:27:57.360 --> 00:27:57.680
 for all

00:27:57.680 --> 00:27:58.180
 eternity.

00:28:00.360 --> 00:28:01.400
 I should

00:28:01.400 --> 00:28:02.100
 never say

00:28:02.100 --> 00:28:02.680
 I'm

00:28:02.680 --> 00:28:03.100
 forsaken,

00:28:03.740 --> 00:28:03.100
!

00:28:17.220 --> 00:28:17.460
 He

00:28:17.460 --> 00:28:18.160
 summarizes

00:28:18.160 --> 00:28:18.779
 what the

00:28:18.779 --> 00:28:19.180
 cross is

00:28:19.180 --> 00:28:19.380
 all

00:28:19.380 --> 00:28:19.620
 about,

00:28:19.740 --> 00:28:20.039
 what the

00:28:20.039 --> 00:28:20.200
 whole

00:28:20.200 --> 00:28:20.539
 Bible

00:28:20.539 --> 00:28:20.759
 is

00:28:20.759 --> 00:28:20.920
 all

00:28:20.920 --> 00:28:21.160
 about

00:28:21.160 --> 00:28:21.360
 in

00:28:21.360 --> 00:28:21.660
 two

00:28:21.660 --> 00:28:22.140
 lines,

00:28:22.200 --> 00:28:22.380
 ready?

00:28:23.339 --> 00:28:23.519
 The

00:28:23.519 --> 00:28:23.980
 essence

00:28:23.980 --> 00:28:24.299
 of

00:28:24.299 --> 00:28:24.700
 sin

00:28:24.700 --> 00:28:26.019
 is

00:28:26.019 --> 00:28:26.640
 man

00:28:26.640 --> 00:28:27.720
 substituting

00:28:27.720 --> 00:28:28.220
 himself

00:28:28.220 --> 00:28:28.460
 in

00:28:28.460 --> 00:28:28.839
 God's

00:28:28.839 --> 00:28:29.220
 place,

00:28:29.220 --> 00:28:31.100
 the

00:28:31.100 --> 00:28:31.440
 essence

00:28:31.440 --> 00:28:31.680
 of

00:28:31.680 --> 00:28:32.180
 salvation

00:28:32.180 --> 00:28:32.440
 is

00:28:32.440 --> 00:28:32.799
 God

00:28:32.799 --> 00:28:33.559
 substituting

00:28:33.559 --> 00:28:33.960
 himself

00:28:33.960 --> 00:28:35.440
 in

00:28:35.440 --> 00:28:35.920
 my

00:28:35.920 --> 00:28:36.279
 place.

00:28:37.700 --> 00:28:38.400
 That's

00:28:38.400 --> 00:28:38.660
 what we're

00:28:38.660 --> 00:28:38.900
 seeing

00:28:38.900 --> 00:28:39.200
 here.

00:28:39.200 --> 00:28:42.640
 then in

00:28:42.640 --> 00:28:43.420
 verse 51

00:28:43.420 --> 00:28:43.880
 to 54

00:28:43.880 --> 00:28:44.400
 we see

00:28:44.400 --> 00:28:44.620
 the

00:28:44.620 --> 00:28:45.259
 victory.

00:28:46.279 --> 00:28:46.620
 He is

00:28:46.620 --> 00:28:47.100
 raining

00:28:47.100 --> 00:28:48.000
 on the

00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:48.319
 tree.

00:28:56.600 --> 00:28:57.160
 Nothing

00:28:57.160 --> 00:28:57.920
 has

00:28:57.920 --> 00:28:58.700
 shaken

00:28:58.700 --> 00:28:59.059
 up

00:28:59.059 --> 00:29:01.160
 life as

00:29:01.160 --> 00:29:01.519
 we know

00:29:01.519 --> 00:29:01.680
 it,

00:29:01.799 --> 00:29:02.240
 the world

00:29:02.240 --> 00:29:02.860
 order as

00:29:02.860 --> 00:29:03.200
 we know

00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:03.360
 it,

00:29:03.460 --> 00:29:03.640
 or

00:29:03.640 --> 00:29:04.180
 nothing

00:29:04.180 --> 00:29:04.720
 in your

00:29:04.720 --> 00:29:05.140
 life,

00:29:05.779 --> 00:29:06.100
 whatever

00:29:06.100 --> 00:29:06.680
 experiences

00:29:06.680 --> 00:29:06.940
 you've

00:29:06.940 --> 00:29:07.080
 gone

00:29:07.080 --> 00:29:07.220
 through,

00:29:07.360 --> 00:29:07.680
 nothing

00:29:07.680 --> 00:29:08.120
 has

00:29:08.119 --> 00:29:10.419
 affected

00:29:10.419 --> 00:29:10.739
 your

00:29:10.739 --> 00:29:11.079
 life,

00:29:11.099 --> 00:29:11.399
 if you're

00:29:11.399 --> 00:29:11.859
 a believer,

00:29:12.179 --> 00:29:12.379
 as

00:29:12.379 --> 00:29:13.019
 profoundly

00:29:13.019 --> 00:29:14.299
 as

00:29:14.299 --> 00:29:14.579
 this

00:29:14.579 --> 00:29:14.979
 moment,

00:29:15.439 --> 00:29:16.519
 this

00:29:16.519 --> 00:29:16.899
 moment

00:29:16.899 --> 00:29:17.459
 when he

00:29:17.459 --> 00:29:17.959
 yielded

00:29:17.959 --> 00:29:18.159
 up

00:29:18.159 --> 00:29:18.839
 his

00:29:18.839 --> 00:29:19.259
 life,

00:29:19.359 --> 00:29:19.539
 his

00:29:19.539 --> 00:29:19.939
 spirit

00:29:19.939 --> 00:29:20.159
 to

00:29:20.159 --> 00:29:20.479
 God.

00:29:22.839 --> 00:29:23.399
 Yes,

00:29:23.679 --> 00:29:23.899
 the

00:29:23.899 --> 00:29:24.500
 resurrection

00:29:24.500 --> 00:29:26.899
 confirms

00:29:26.899 --> 00:29:28.739
 and puts

00:29:28.739 --> 00:29:29.479
 into effect

00:29:29.479 --> 00:29:30.239
 Christ's

00:29:30.239 --> 00:29:30.579
 victory,

00:29:30.719 --> 00:29:31.279
 but Matthew

00:29:31.279 --> 00:29:31.719
 wants us

00:29:31.719 --> 00:29:32.039
 to see

00:29:32.039 --> 00:29:32.399
 that the

00:29:32.399 --> 00:29:32.779
 victory

00:29:32.779 --> 00:29:33.339
 was won

00:29:33.339 --> 00:29:33.719
 here,

00:29:33.799 --> 00:29:34.319
 right in

00:29:34.319 --> 00:29:34.559
 this

00:29:34.559 --> 00:29:34.959
 moment,

00:29:35.239 --> 00:29:35.619
 when he

00:29:35.619 --> 00:29:35.979
 yielded

00:29:35.979 --> 00:29:36.299
 up his

00:29:36.299 --> 00:29:36.599
 spirit

00:29:36.599 --> 00:29:36.859
 at the

00:29:36.859 --> 00:29:37.139
 cross.

00:29:38.119 --> 00:29:38.719
 I think

00:29:38.719 --> 00:29:38.879
 we're

00:29:38.879 --> 00:29:39.059
 meant to

00:29:39.059 --> 00:29:39.559
 be seeing

00:29:39.559 --> 00:29:39.859
 him

00:29:39.859 --> 00:29:40.459
 reigning,

00:29:40.639 --> 00:29:41.019
 he is

00:29:41.019 --> 00:29:41.399
 king,

00:29:42.139 --> 00:29:43.059
 in this

00:29:43.059 --> 00:29:44.079
 moment where

00:29:44.079 --> 00:29:44.659
 his body

00:29:44.659 --> 00:29:45.179
 is hanging

00:29:45.179 --> 00:29:45.719
 limp

00:29:45.719 --> 00:29:48.059
 on a

00:29:48.059 --> 00:29:48.399
 cross.

00:29:50.059 --> 00:29:50.419
 My

00:29:50.419 --> 00:29:51.079
 death is

00:29:51.079 --> 00:29:51.419
 probably

00:29:51.419 --> 00:29:51.839
 going to

00:29:51.839 --> 00:29:52.119
 be the

00:29:52.119 --> 00:29:52.759
 end of

00:29:52.759 --> 00:29:53.059
 what I

00:29:53.059 --> 00:29:53.599
 accomplish,

00:29:55.019 --> 00:29:55.379
 but see

00:29:55.379 --> 00:29:55.739
 what he

00:29:55.739 --> 00:29:56.599
 accomplishes

00:29:56.599 --> 00:29:57.259
 with his

00:29:57.259 --> 00:29:57.619
 death.

00:29:57.819 --> 00:29:58.500
 Verse 51

00:29:58.500 --> 00:29:59.199
 to 54,

00:30:00.239 --> 00:30:00.579
 there's

00:30:00.579 --> 00:30:02.079
 three world

00:30:02.079 --> 00:30:03.699
 heavenly

00:30:03.699 --> 00:30:04.459
 shaking

00:30:04.459 --> 00:30:05.000
 victories.

00:30:05.199 --> 00:30:05.319
 The

00:30:05.319 --> 00:30:05.659
 curtain

00:30:05.659 --> 00:30:06.259
 temple was

00:30:06.259 --> 00:30:06.699
 torn in

00:30:06.700 --> 00:30:06.940
 two.

00:30:07.940 --> 00:30:08.019
 The

00:30:08.019 --> 00:30:08.620
 tombs of

00:30:08.620 --> 00:30:08.860
 Old

00:30:08.860 --> 00:30:09.140
 Testament

00:30:09.140 --> 00:30:09.740
 saints

00:30:09.740 --> 00:30:10.080
 are

00:30:10.080 --> 00:30:10.340
 broken

00:30:10.340 --> 00:30:10.700
 open

00:30:10.700 --> 00:30:10.880
 and

00:30:10.880 --> 00:30:11.059
 they're

00:30:11.059 --> 00:30:11.420
 raised

00:30:11.420 --> 00:30:11.940
 and

00:30:11.940 --> 00:30:12.120
 this

00:30:12.120 --> 00:30:12.440
 Roman

00:30:12.440 --> 00:30:13.160
 centurion

00:30:13.160 --> 00:30:13.759
 confesses

00:30:13.759 --> 00:30:14.140
 faith.

00:30:15.819 --> 00:30:16.400
 If we

00:30:16.400 --> 00:30:16.640
 can go

00:30:16.640 --> 00:30:17.000
 through each

00:30:17.000 --> 00:30:17.220
 of these,

00:30:17.259 --> 00:30:17.680
 the temple,

00:30:18.080 --> 00:30:18.500
 if you

00:30:18.500 --> 00:30:19.140
 tried to

00:30:19.140 --> 00:30:19.779
 go near

00:30:19.779 --> 00:30:21.319
 God's

00:30:21.319 --> 00:30:21.840
 presence in

00:30:21.840 --> 00:30:22.180
 the temple,

00:30:22.360 --> 00:30:22.680
 you'd be

00:30:22.680 --> 00:30:23.700
 met with

00:30:23.700 --> 00:30:25.400
 get out

00:30:25.400 --> 00:30:26.259
 signs at

00:30:26.259 --> 00:30:27.620
 every stage.

00:30:27.860 --> 00:30:28.400
 If you're a

00:30:28.400 --> 00:30:28.860
 Gentile,

00:30:29.319 --> 00:30:29.819
 you couldn't

00:30:29.819 --> 00:30:30.340
 go further

00:30:30.340 --> 00:30:30.680
 than the

00:30:30.680 --> 00:30:31.220
 outer court.

00:30:31.799 --> 00:30:32.160
 If you're

00:30:32.160 --> 00:30:32.440
 not a

00:30:32.440 --> 00:30:32.779
 priest,

00:30:33.039 --> 00:30:33.440
 you couldn't

00:30:33.440 --> 00:30:33.940
 go further

00:30:33.940 --> 00:30:34.319
 than the

00:30:34.319 --> 00:30:34.900
 inner court.

00:30:34.900 --> 00:30:36.180
 if you

00:30:36.180 --> 00:30:36.519
 weren't

00:30:36.519 --> 00:30:37.820
 the high

00:30:37.820 --> 00:30:38.220
 priest,

00:30:38.940 --> 00:30:39.800
 you couldn't

00:30:39.800 --> 00:30:40.340
 go further

00:30:40.340 --> 00:30:40.720
 than the

00:30:40.720 --> 00:30:41.360
 holy place.

00:30:41.420 --> 00:30:41.820
 You couldn't

00:30:41.820 --> 00:30:42.140
 go into

00:30:42.140 --> 00:30:42.640
 the most

00:30:42.640 --> 00:30:43.140
 holy place.

00:30:43.200 --> 00:30:43.620
 He could

00:30:43.620 --> 00:30:44.100
 only go

00:30:44.100 --> 00:30:44.540
 in once

00:30:44.540 --> 00:30:44.920
 a year.

00:30:45.320 --> 00:30:47.220
 He had

00:30:47.220 --> 00:30:47.740
 to clean

00:30:47.740 --> 00:30:49.060
 vigorously

00:30:49.060 --> 00:30:49.780
 and confess

00:30:49.780 --> 00:30:50.320
 and blood.

00:30:52.140 --> 00:30:52.700
 Jesus

00:30:52.700 --> 00:30:53.480
 taking our

00:30:53.480 --> 00:30:53.940
 curse,

00:30:54.160 --> 00:30:55.680
 the curtain

00:30:55.680 --> 00:30:56.360
 is torn

00:30:56.360 --> 00:30:57.680
 top to

00:30:57.680 --> 00:30:57.940
 bottom.

00:30:57.940 --> 00:31:02.840
 open

00:31:02.840 --> 00:31:03.640
 access

00:31:03.640 --> 00:31:05.059
 to

00:31:05.059 --> 00:31:05.580
 walk

00:31:05.580 --> 00:31:06.120
 and

00:31:06.120 --> 00:31:06.480
 talk

00:31:06.480 --> 00:31:06.700
 with

00:31:06.700 --> 00:31:06.980
 God

00:31:06.980 --> 00:31:07.140
 as

00:31:07.140 --> 00:31:07.320
 your

00:31:07.320 --> 00:31:07.580
 heavenly

00:31:07.580 --> 00:31:08.019
 father

00:31:08.019 --> 00:31:08.539
 every

00:31:08.539 --> 00:31:09.059
 day,

00:31:09.200 --> 00:31:09.680
 all day,

00:31:10.000 --> 00:31:10.600
 all night.

00:31:11.299 --> 00:31:11.640
 Open

00:31:11.640 --> 00:31:11.960
 access.

00:31:16.960 --> 00:31:18.240
 I learned

00:31:18.240 --> 00:31:18.840
 from Cole

00:31:18.840 --> 00:31:20.660
 that little

00:31:20.660 --> 00:31:21.720
 storage room,

00:31:22.039 --> 00:31:22.740
 this used

00:31:22.740 --> 00:31:23.180
 to be a

00:31:23.180 --> 00:31:23.500
 Catholic

00:31:23.500 --> 00:31:23.920
 church,

00:31:24.160 --> 00:31:24.600
 that was

00:31:24.600 --> 00:31:24.759
 the

00:31:24.759 --> 00:31:25.360
 confessional.

00:31:25.359 --> 00:31:27.099
 I don't

00:31:27.099 --> 00:31:27.399
 know if I

00:31:27.399 --> 00:31:27.699
 knew that

00:31:27.699 --> 00:31:28.379
 but I've

00:31:28.379 --> 00:31:28.899
 forgotten it.

00:31:30.039 --> 00:31:30.799
 Priest comes

00:31:30.799 --> 00:31:31.039
 in the

00:31:31.039 --> 00:31:31.319
 back,

00:31:32.219 --> 00:31:32.619
 you come

00:31:32.619 --> 00:31:32.939
 in that

00:31:32.939 --> 00:31:33.179
 way,

00:31:33.679 --> 00:31:33.959
 confess

00:31:33.959 --> 00:31:34.500
 your sins,

00:31:34.699 --> 00:31:34.859
 get

00:31:34.859 --> 00:31:36.319
 forgiveness

00:31:36.319 --> 00:31:36.779
 from the

00:31:36.779 --> 00:31:37.119
 priest,

00:31:37.359 --> 00:31:37.899
 here's

00:31:37.899 --> 00:31:38.099
 what you

00:31:38.099 --> 00:31:38.419
 do for

00:31:38.419 --> 00:31:38.879
 penance.

00:31:41.019 --> 00:31:41.299
 No.

00:31:43.139 --> 00:31:43.659
 No.

00:31:44.319 --> 00:31:44.719
 You have

00:31:44.719 --> 00:31:45.000
 open

00:31:45.000 --> 00:31:45.500
 access.

00:31:47.679 --> 00:31:48.199
 There's

00:31:48.199 --> 00:31:48.879
 no place,

00:31:49.019 --> 00:31:49.339
 there's no

00:31:49.339 --> 00:31:50.299
 person except

00:31:50.299 --> 00:31:50.899
 for Christ.

00:31:51.019 --> 00:31:51.379
 He's your

00:31:51.379 --> 00:31:51.899
 high priest,

00:31:51.979 --> 00:31:52.199
 Hebrews

00:31:52.199 --> 00:31:52.579
 says.

00:31:53.859 --> 00:31:54.559
 You who

00:31:54.559 --> 00:31:55.139
 would destroy

00:31:55.140 --> 00:31:55.680
 this temple

00:31:55.680 --> 00:31:56.220
 and rebuild

00:31:56.220 --> 00:31:56.460
 it in

00:31:56.460 --> 00:31:56.940
 three days.

00:31:57.080 --> 00:31:57.759
 He is

00:31:57.759 --> 00:31:58.200
 the new

00:31:58.200 --> 00:31:58.560
 and living

00:31:58.560 --> 00:31:58.900
 way.

00:31:59.900 --> 00:32:00.520
 If you

00:32:00.520 --> 00:32:01.140
 just look

00:32:01.140 --> 00:32:01.600
 at his

00:32:01.600 --> 00:32:02.380
 dying

00:32:02.380 --> 00:32:03.080
 breath in

00:32:03.080 --> 00:32:03.740
 this moment

00:32:03.740 --> 00:32:04.140
 hanging

00:32:04.140 --> 00:32:04.920
 lifeless on

00:32:04.920 --> 00:32:05.320
 the tree,

00:32:05.640 --> 00:32:05.980
 if you

00:32:05.980 --> 00:32:06.920
 trust that

00:32:06.920 --> 00:32:07.460
 is enough,

00:32:07.720 --> 00:32:07.920
 he's

00:32:07.920 --> 00:32:08.340
 opened the

00:32:08.340 --> 00:32:08.620
 way to

00:32:08.620 --> 00:32:08.759
 the

00:32:08.759 --> 00:32:09.040
 Father.

00:32:12.780 --> 00:32:13.440
 Not only

00:32:13.440 --> 00:32:14.020
 no entry,

00:32:14.200 --> 00:32:14.660
 come in,

00:32:15.180 --> 00:32:15.560
 please.

00:32:16.180 --> 00:32:16.520
 You don't

00:32:16.520 --> 00:32:16.900
 come in

00:32:16.900 --> 00:32:17.620
 often enough.

00:32:18.440 --> 00:32:18.840
 Come.

00:32:20.920 --> 00:32:21.560
 The way

00:32:21.560 --> 00:32:21.780
 to the

00:32:21.780 --> 00:32:22.200
 Father is

00:32:22.200 --> 00:32:22.540
 open,

00:32:23.340 --> 00:32:24.000
 trusting this

00:32:24.000 --> 00:32:24.600
 very moment.

00:32:24.599 --> 00:32:25.199
 to see

00:32:25.199 --> 00:32:25.439
 him

00:32:25.439 --> 00:32:25.859
 raining

00:32:25.859 --> 00:32:27.339
 on the

00:32:27.339 --> 00:32:27.619
 tree.

00:32:28.459 --> 00:32:28.719
 Then we

00:32:28.719 --> 00:32:28.939
 have the

00:32:28.939 --> 00:32:29.339
 resurrected

00:32:29.339 --> 00:32:29.859
 saints.

00:32:30.279 --> 00:32:30.480
 Only

00:32:30.480 --> 00:32:30.819
 Matthew

00:32:30.819 --> 00:32:31.319
 records

00:32:31.319 --> 00:32:31.500
 this.

00:32:31.599 --> 00:32:31.939
 This is

00:32:31.939 --> 00:32:34.179
 unreal.

00:32:35.980 --> 00:32:36.879
 Verse 52,

00:32:37.019 --> 00:32:37.459
 53.

00:32:37.740 --> 00:32:38.059
 Matthew

00:32:38.059 --> 00:32:38.439
 seems to

00:32:38.439 --> 00:32:38.839
 jump ahead

00:32:38.839 --> 00:32:39.459
 himself.

00:32:40.339 --> 00:32:40.459
 We're

00:32:40.459 --> 00:32:40.839
 not up to

00:32:40.839 --> 00:32:40.959
 the

00:32:40.959 --> 00:32:41.359
 resurrection,

00:32:41.619 --> 00:32:41.779
 Matthew.

00:32:42.079 --> 00:32:42.419
 Hang on.

00:32:43.059 --> 00:32:43.480
 It's like

00:32:43.480 --> 00:32:44.419
 God can't

00:32:44.419 --> 00:32:44.799
 wait to

00:32:44.799 --> 00:32:45.259
 show us.

00:32:45.899 --> 00:32:46.199
 Look at

00:32:46.199 --> 00:32:46.740
 the victory.

00:32:46.939 --> 00:32:47.119
 He's

00:32:47.119 --> 00:32:47.579
 just won.

00:32:49.919 --> 00:32:50.279
 The

00:32:50.279 --> 00:32:50.759
 earthquake

00:32:50.759 --> 00:32:51.879
 is the

00:32:51.879 --> 00:32:52.839
 thing that

00:32:52.839 --> 00:32:53.599
 breaks open

00:32:53.599 --> 00:32:54.140
 the tombs,

00:32:54.240 --> 00:32:54.599
 but the

00:32:54.599 --> 00:32:55.140
 resurrection

00:32:55.140 --> 00:32:55.839
 is tied

00:32:55.839 --> 00:32:56.480
 to his

00:32:56.480 --> 00:32:57.099
 resurrection.

00:32:57.799 --> 00:32:58.059
 Matthew

00:32:58.059 --> 00:32:58.579
 ties it

00:32:58.579 --> 00:32:59.180
 to his,

00:32:59.500 --> 00:32:59.740
 Jesus'

00:32:59.940 --> 00:33:00.400
 resurrection.

00:33:01.400 --> 00:33:02.240
 So these

00:33:02.240 --> 00:33:03.140
 Old Testament

00:33:03.140 --> 00:33:03.619
 saints,

00:33:03.740 --> 00:33:04.160
 whoever they

00:33:04.160 --> 00:33:04.480
 were,

00:33:05.700 --> 00:33:05.940
 they were

00:33:05.940 --> 00:33:06.700
 Old Testament

00:33:06.700 --> 00:33:07.119
 saints,

00:33:07.359 --> 00:33:08.019
 share in

00:33:08.019 --> 00:33:08.619
 the victory

00:33:08.619 --> 00:33:09.940
 over the

00:33:09.940 --> 00:33:10.640
 curse of

00:33:10.640 --> 00:33:11.000
 sin.

00:33:13.759 --> 00:33:14.539
 As much

00:33:14.539 --> 00:33:15.240
 as you and

00:33:15.240 --> 00:33:15.640
 I today

00:33:15.640 --> 00:33:16.119
 will share

00:33:16.119 --> 00:33:16.379
 in that

00:33:16.379 --> 00:33:16.759
 victory.

00:33:16.759 --> 00:33:19.019
 And

00:33:19.019 --> 00:33:19.420
 Matthew,

00:33:19.619 --> 00:33:20.019
 I think,

00:33:20.099 --> 00:33:20.660
 places it

00:33:20.660 --> 00:33:21.160
 here so

00:33:21.160 --> 00:33:21.440
 that we

00:33:21.440 --> 00:33:21.879
 see that

00:33:21.879 --> 00:33:22.400
 the victory

00:33:22.400 --> 00:33:23.059
 was won

00:33:23.059 --> 00:33:23.660
 at the

00:33:23.660 --> 00:33:24.059
 cross.

00:33:32.819 --> 00:33:33.420
 Speaking

00:33:33.420 --> 00:33:35.879
 to a

00:33:35.879 --> 00:33:36.619
 Muslim in

00:33:36.619 --> 00:33:37.359
 Sydney after

00:33:37.359 --> 00:33:38.059
 indoor soccer,

00:33:38.299 --> 00:33:38.859
 I've lost

00:33:38.859 --> 00:33:39.940
 touch with

00:33:39.940 --> 00:33:40.220
 the guy

00:33:40.220 --> 00:33:40.440
 now,

00:33:40.539 --> 00:33:42.660
 but he

00:33:42.660 --> 00:33:43.379
 objected to

00:33:43.379 --> 00:33:44.039
 my Christian

00:33:44.039 --> 00:33:45.559
 arrogance to

00:33:45.559 --> 00:33:46.359
 say that I

00:33:46.359 --> 00:33:46.879
 know for

00:33:46.879 --> 00:33:49.039
 sure that

00:33:49.039 --> 00:33:49.819
 after judgment

00:33:49.819 --> 00:33:50.419
 we agree

00:33:50.419 --> 00:33:50.779
 there's going

00:33:50.779 --> 00:33:51.059
 to be a

00:33:51.059 --> 00:33:51.319
 judgment,

00:33:51.579 --> 00:33:51.899
 that I'm

00:33:51.899 --> 00:33:52.079
 going to

00:33:52.079 --> 00:33:52.339
 live.

00:33:54.079 --> 00:33:54.919
 Allah is

00:33:54.919 --> 00:33:55.559
 merciful,

00:33:56.559 --> 00:33:56.859
 but a

00:33:56.859 --> 00:33:57.459
 devout Muslim

00:33:57.459 --> 00:33:58.859
 cannot presume

00:33:58.859 --> 00:33:59.579
 to know the

00:33:59.579 --> 00:34:00.339
 final judgment.

00:34:01.399 --> 00:34:01.799
 There's no

00:34:01.799 --> 00:34:02.919
 assurance of

00:34:02.919 --> 00:34:03.240
 life.

00:34:07.419 --> 00:34:08.359
 A pastor

00:34:08.359 --> 00:34:08.880
 in the UK

00:34:08.880 --> 00:34:09.699
 once received

00:34:09.699 --> 00:34:10.319
 a letter in

00:34:10.319 --> 00:34:10.839
 his mailbox

00:34:10.839 --> 00:34:13.440
 from a

00:34:13.440 --> 00:34:14.079
 Roman Catholic

00:34:14.079 --> 00:34:14.719
 family who

00:34:14.719 --> 00:34:15.199
 had a sudden

00:34:15.199 --> 00:34:15.779
 tragedy.

00:34:16.360 --> 00:34:18.220
 someone died

00:34:18.220 --> 00:34:18.960
 and they

00:34:18.960 --> 00:34:19.340
 asked him

00:34:19.340 --> 00:34:19.940
 to pray for

00:34:19.940 --> 00:34:20.519
 their child

00:34:20.519 --> 00:34:21.740
 to survive

00:34:21.740 --> 00:34:22.440
 the thousands

00:34:22.440 --> 00:34:23.000
 of years

00:34:23.000 --> 00:34:23.740
 in purgatory.

00:34:25.599 --> 00:34:25.860
 Now,

00:34:26.000 --> 00:34:26.599
 it's heart

00:34:26.599 --> 00:34:27.039
 wrenching.

00:34:27.599 --> 00:34:27.960
 They're in

00:34:27.960 --> 00:34:28.960
 deep pain,

00:34:29.280 --> 00:34:29.500
 but they

00:34:29.500 --> 00:34:29.900
 had no

00:34:29.900 --> 00:34:30.579
 assurance.

00:34:32.519 --> 00:34:32.760
 They were

00:34:32.760 --> 00:34:33.280
 devout.

00:34:33.780 --> 00:34:34.340
 They had no

00:34:34.340 --> 00:34:34.720
 assurance.

00:34:39.039 --> 00:34:39.740
 Then you

00:34:39.740 --> 00:34:40.039
 got the

00:34:40.039 --> 00:34:40.760
 non-religious

00:34:40.760 --> 00:34:41.599
 poem of

00:34:41.599 --> 00:34:42.380
 Dylan Thomas

00:34:42.380 --> 00:34:43.039
 about his

00:34:43.039 --> 00:34:43.860
 dying father.

00:34:43.860 --> 00:34:45.420
 Do not

00:34:45.420 --> 00:34:46.240
 go gentle

00:34:46.240 --> 00:34:47.300
 into that

00:34:47.300 --> 00:34:47.860
 good night.

00:34:49.380 --> 00:34:49.860
 Old age

00:34:49.860 --> 00:34:50.640
 should burn

00:34:50.640 --> 00:34:51.320
 and rave

00:34:51.320 --> 00:34:51.880
 at close

00:34:51.880 --> 00:34:52.300
 of day.

00:34:52.460 --> 00:34:53.000
 Rage,

00:34:53.200 --> 00:34:54.260
 rage against

00:34:54.260 --> 00:34:54.900
 the dying

00:34:54.900 --> 00:34:55.160
 of the

00:34:55.160 --> 00:34:55.539
 light.

00:34:58.940 --> 00:34:59.599
 No

00:34:59.599 --> 00:35:00.079
 assurance.

00:35:02.780 --> 00:35:03.400
 Do you

00:35:03.400 --> 00:35:03.680
 see the

00:35:03.680 --> 00:35:04.620
 power over

00:35:04.620 --> 00:35:05.320
 your death,

00:35:06.320 --> 00:35:06.900
 over your

00:35:06.900 --> 00:35:07.519
 tomb in

00:35:07.519 --> 00:35:08.000
 this moment?

00:35:08.000 --> 00:35:11.579
 Because he

00:35:11.579 --> 00:35:12.199
 yielded up

00:35:12.199 --> 00:35:12.920
 his spirit

00:35:12.920 --> 00:35:13.880
 in your

00:35:13.880 --> 00:35:14.320
 place.

00:35:17.059 --> 00:35:17.679
 We can

00:35:17.679 --> 00:35:18.099
 say like

00:35:18.099 --> 00:35:18.380
 Paul,

00:35:18.519 --> 00:35:18.860
 to live

00:35:18.860 --> 00:35:19.400
 is Christ,

00:35:19.559 --> 00:35:20.059
 to die

00:35:20.059 --> 00:35:20.659
 is gain.

00:35:21.719 --> 00:35:22.079
 If I'm

00:35:22.079 --> 00:35:22.340
 to live

00:35:22.340 --> 00:35:22.559
 in the

00:35:22.559 --> 00:35:22.820
 body,

00:35:23.039 --> 00:35:23.380
 that means

00:35:23.380 --> 00:35:23.940
 fruitful

00:35:23.940 --> 00:35:24.559
 labour for

00:35:24.559 --> 00:35:24.739
 me,

00:35:24.820 --> 00:35:25.539
 yet which

00:35:25.539 --> 00:35:26.019
 I shall

00:35:26.019 --> 00:35:26.400
 choose,

00:35:26.500 --> 00:35:27.000
 I don't

00:35:27.000 --> 00:35:27.300
 know.

00:35:29.559 --> 00:35:30.019
 There's

00:35:30.019 --> 00:35:30.579
 assurance.

00:35:30.579 --> 00:35:37.639
 see him

00:35:37.639 --> 00:35:38.119
 reigning,

00:35:38.639 --> 00:35:39.159
 nailed to

00:35:39.159 --> 00:35:39.440
 the tree.

00:35:39.519 --> 00:35:39.639
 Now,

00:35:39.759 --> 00:35:40.000
 I know

00:35:40.000 --> 00:35:41.119
 theologically

00:35:41.119 --> 00:35:42.059
 he's raised,

00:35:42.199 --> 00:35:42.799
 he's ascended,

00:35:43.179 --> 00:35:43.380
 but I'm

00:35:43.380 --> 00:35:44.239
 saying Matthew

00:35:44.239 --> 00:35:44.980
 wants us to

00:35:44.980 --> 00:35:45.380
 see the

00:35:45.380 --> 00:35:46.059
 victory was

00:35:46.059 --> 00:35:46.739
 won at

00:35:46.739 --> 00:35:47.400
 the cross.

00:35:48.980 --> 00:35:49.380
 Then the

00:35:49.380 --> 00:35:50.059
 third barrier,

00:35:50.619 --> 00:35:51.340
 unbelief.

00:35:52.299 --> 00:35:53.099
 Verse 54,

00:35:53.840 --> 00:35:54.799
 the universal

00:35:54.799 --> 00:35:55.659
 rejection

00:35:55.659 --> 00:35:58.659
 and mockery

00:35:58.659 --> 00:35:59.159
 of God

00:35:59.159 --> 00:35:59.940
 becomes a

00:35:59.940 --> 00:36:00.440
 universal

00:36:00.440 --> 00:36:00.899
 church

00:36:00.899 --> 00:36:01.739
 confessing

00:36:01.739 --> 00:36:03.000
 faith and

00:36:03.000 --> 00:36:05.019
 awe in

00:36:05.019 --> 00:36:05.940
 this sun,

00:36:06.179 --> 00:36:06.539
 in this

00:36:06.539 --> 00:36:07.000
 moment.

00:36:08.619 --> 00:36:09.119
 Matthew is

00:36:09.119 --> 00:36:09.480
 the most

00:36:09.480 --> 00:36:10.460
 Jewish of

00:36:10.460 --> 00:36:10.819
 the four

00:36:10.819 --> 00:36:11.299
 gospels.

00:36:13.420 --> 00:36:14.379
 But you

00:36:14.379 --> 00:36:14.759
 know where

00:36:14.759 --> 00:36:15.440
 it's going

00:36:15.440 --> 00:36:15.960
 to end in

00:36:15.960 --> 00:36:16.319
 terms of the

00:36:16.319 --> 00:36:16.539
 Great

00:36:16.539 --> 00:36:16.920
 Commission,

00:36:17.039 --> 00:36:17.299
 go to

00:36:17.299 --> 00:36:17.920
 all nations

00:36:17.920 --> 00:36:18.279
 and here

00:36:18.279 --> 00:36:18.539
 we get

00:36:18.539 --> 00:36:18.980
 the first

00:36:18.980 --> 00:36:19.359
 fruits of

00:36:19.359 --> 00:36:19.519
 that.

00:36:19.899 --> 00:36:20.079
 This

00:36:20.079 --> 00:36:20.659
 Roman

00:36:20.659 --> 00:36:21.480
 centurion

00:36:21.480 --> 00:36:24.779
 seeing the

00:36:24.779 --> 00:36:25.399
 darkness,

00:36:25.659 --> 00:36:26.379
 feeling the

00:36:26.379 --> 00:36:26.739
 earthquake,

00:36:26.980 --> 00:36:27.379
 no doubt

00:36:27.379 --> 00:36:28.539
 seeing something

00:36:28.539 --> 00:36:29.099
 in this

00:36:29.099 --> 00:36:30.379
 Jesus as

00:36:30.379 --> 00:36:30.920
 he died,

00:36:31.940 --> 00:36:32.500
 filled with

00:36:32.500 --> 00:36:33.019
 awe.

00:36:34.679 --> 00:36:35.440
 Truly this

00:36:35.440 --> 00:36:36.659
 was the

00:36:36.659 --> 00:36:36.980
 Son of

00:36:36.980 --> 00:36:37.299
 God.

00:36:40.059 --> 00:36:40.819
 And the

00:36:40.819 --> 00:36:41.359
 message of

00:36:41.359 --> 00:36:41.819
 Christ

00:36:41.819 --> 00:36:42.779
 crucified is

00:36:42.779 --> 00:36:43.399
 invading

00:36:43.399 --> 00:36:44.799
 every culture

00:36:44.799 --> 00:36:46.019
 one heart

00:36:46.019 --> 00:36:46.519
 at a time.

00:36:46.739 --> 00:36:47.379
 When we

00:36:47.379 --> 00:36:47.599
 were at

00:36:47.599 --> 00:36:47.819
 Bible

00:36:47.819 --> 00:36:48.219
 College,

00:36:48.379 --> 00:36:49.159
 we shared

00:36:49.159 --> 00:36:50.899
 a unit

00:36:50.899 --> 00:36:51.960
 with a

00:36:51.960 --> 00:36:52.639
 Nepalese

00:36:52.639 --> 00:36:53.000
 couple,

00:36:53.739 --> 00:36:54.319
 a Pakistani

00:36:54.319 --> 00:36:54.980
 couple,

00:36:55.659 --> 00:36:56.480
 and the

00:36:56.480 --> 00:36:56.819
 most

00:36:56.819 --> 00:36:57.159
 different

00:36:57.159 --> 00:36:57.539
 to us

00:36:57.539 --> 00:36:58.000
 of all,

00:36:58.460 --> 00:36:58.759
 New

00:36:58.759 --> 00:36:59.119
 Zealand

00:36:59.119 --> 00:36:59.859
 couple.

00:37:03.679 --> 00:37:04.659
 I love

00:37:04.659 --> 00:37:04.859
 any

00:37:04.859 --> 00:37:05.099
 New

00:37:05.099 --> 00:37:05.619
 Zealanders.

00:37:06.619 --> 00:37:07.339
 It was

00:37:07.339 --> 00:37:07.639
 just a

00:37:07.639 --> 00:37:08.119
 cheap joke,

00:37:08.179 --> 00:37:08.339
 I'm

00:37:08.339 --> 00:37:08.559
 sorry.

00:37:09.480 --> 00:37:09.699
 I

00:37:09.699 --> 00:37:10.179
 joined the

00:37:10.179 --> 00:37:10.539
 mockery,

00:37:10.659 --> 00:37:10.920
 don't I?

00:37:14.019 --> 00:37:14.879
 Now that's

00:37:14.879 --> 00:37:15.559
 just a taste

00:37:15.559 --> 00:37:16.899
 of the

00:37:16.899 --> 00:37:17.739
 universal

00:37:17.739 --> 00:37:18.420
 church.

00:37:18.420 --> 00:37:18.460
 church.

00:37:20.059 --> 00:37:20.639
 It's

00:37:20.639 --> 00:37:21.280
 one thing

00:37:21.280 --> 00:37:22.119
 for one

00:37:22.119 --> 00:37:22.740
 culture to

00:37:22.740 --> 00:37:23.420
 find something

00:37:23.420 --> 00:37:23.880
 beautiful,

00:37:24.280 --> 00:37:24.760
 but for

00:37:24.760 --> 00:37:25.420
 all the

00:37:25.420 --> 00:37:26.159
 differences

00:37:26.159 --> 00:37:27.200
 among us

00:37:27.200 --> 00:37:27.800
 in the

00:37:27.800 --> 00:37:28.180
 world,

00:37:28.380 --> 00:37:28.740
 and we're

00:37:28.740 --> 00:37:29.240
 all looking

00:37:29.240 --> 00:37:29.599
 at this

00:37:29.599 --> 00:37:31.099
 moment of

00:37:31.099 --> 00:37:31.740
 this limp

00:37:31.740 --> 00:37:32.720
 body going,

00:37:33.159 --> 00:37:33.480
 wow,

00:37:34.400 --> 00:37:36.200
 it gives

00:37:36.200 --> 00:37:36.639
 glory,

00:37:37.180 --> 00:37:37.820
 it gives

00:37:37.820 --> 00:37:38.260
 glory to

00:37:38.260 --> 00:37:38.500
 God.

00:37:39.619 --> 00:37:40.340
 We see

00:37:40.340 --> 00:37:40.960
 the universal

00:37:40.960 --> 00:37:41.480
 church.

00:37:41.480 --> 00:37:41.519
 church.

00:37:46.639 --> 00:37:47.740
 So do you

00:37:47.740 --> 00:37:48.280
 see the

00:37:48.280 --> 00:37:48.940
 power of

00:37:48.940 --> 00:37:50.059
 God and

00:37:50.059 --> 00:37:50.579
 the love

00:37:50.579 --> 00:37:51.000
 of God

00:37:51.000 --> 00:37:51.760
 to save

00:37:51.760 --> 00:37:53.300
 you in

00:37:53.300 --> 00:37:54.340
 this mocked

00:37:54.340 --> 00:37:55.800
 and weak

00:37:55.800 --> 00:37:57.480
 and

00:37:57.480 --> 00:37:58.780
 lifeless

00:37:58.780 --> 00:38:02.240
 king?

00:38:02.239 --> 00:38:05.719
 does it

00:38:05.719 --> 00:38:06.339
 move your

00:38:06.339 --> 00:38:06.819
 heart to

00:38:06.819 --> 00:38:07.699
 awe and

00:38:07.699 --> 00:38:08.919
 humbled and

00:38:08.919 --> 00:38:09.819
 thankful for

00:38:09.819 --> 00:38:10.119
 what he's

00:38:10.119 --> 00:38:10.519
 done for

00:38:10.519 --> 00:38:10.719
 you?

00:38:12.939 --> 00:38:13.579
 It made

00:38:13.579 --> 00:38:14.000
 me think of

00:38:14.000 --> 00:38:14.419
 1 Corinthians

00:38:14.419 --> 00:38:14.759
 1,

00:38:14.839 --> 00:38:15.139
 for the

00:38:15.139 --> 00:38:15.659
 message of

00:38:15.659 --> 00:38:16.119
 the cross

00:38:16.119 --> 00:38:18.519
 is foolishness

00:38:18.519 --> 00:38:19.239
 to those who

00:38:19.239 --> 00:38:19.699
 are perishing,

00:38:19.799 --> 00:38:20.399
 but to us who

00:38:20.399 --> 00:38:20.639
 are being

00:38:20.639 --> 00:38:21.079
 saved,

00:38:21.359 --> 00:38:21.799
 it is the

00:38:21.799 --> 00:38:22.339
 power,

00:38:23.119 --> 00:38:23.639
 it is the

00:38:23.639 --> 00:38:24.099
 power.

00:38:32.239 --> 00:38:33.639
 I want to

00:38:33.639 --> 00:38:37.119
 finish two

00:38:37.119 --> 00:38:37.500
 things.

00:38:39.000 --> 00:38:39.539
 What is the

00:38:39.539 --> 00:38:39.939
 fundamental,

00:38:40.179 --> 00:38:40.859
 if you can

00:38:40.859 --> 00:38:41.379
 see the

00:38:41.379 --> 00:38:41.899
 power of

00:38:41.899 --> 00:38:43.339
 God in

00:38:43.339 --> 00:38:43.699
 Christ

00:38:43.699 --> 00:38:45.579
 crucified and

00:38:45.579 --> 00:38:46.239
 his victories,

00:38:47.259 --> 00:38:47.939
 what's the

00:38:47.939 --> 00:38:48.339
 fundamental

00:38:48.339 --> 00:38:49.739
 reason why

00:38:49.739 --> 00:38:52.799
 you see

00:38:52.799 --> 00:38:53.559
 his salvation?

00:38:58.179 --> 00:38:59.219
 Why did

00:38:59.219 --> 00:38:59.739
 the Roman

00:38:59.739 --> 00:39:00.559
 centurion,

00:39:00.559 --> 00:39:01.759
 I think

00:39:01.759 --> 00:39:02.099
 it's a

00:39:02.099 --> 00:39:02.779
 pretty safe

00:39:02.779 --> 00:39:04.000
 presumption

00:39:04.000 --> 00:39:04.460
 that he

00:39:04.460 --> 00:39:05.139
 was part

00:39:05.139 --> 00:39:05.559
 of that

00:39:05.559 --> 00:39:06.940
 crowd

00:39:06.940 --> 00:39:08.460
 who were

00:39:08.460 --> 00:39:09.279
 kneeling before

00:39:09.279 --> 00:39:09.980
 this guy,

00:39:10.380 --> 00:39:10.940
 spitting in

00:39:10.940 --> 00:39:11.539
 his face,

00:39:12.460 --> 00:39:13.380
 just a few

00:39:13.380 --> 00:39:14.039
 hours later,

00:39:15.239 --> 00:39:16.679
 this is the

00:39:16.679 --> 00:39:17.199
 son of God.

00:39:17.920 --> 00:39:18.360
 Why did

00:39:18.360 --> 00:39:18.840
 he see?

00:39:21.440 --> 00:39:22.239
 Why did

00:39:22.239 --> 00:39:22.799
 the criminal

00:39:22.799 --> 00:39:23.579
 hanging next

00:39:23.579 --> 00:39:23.920
 to him,

00:39:23.980 --> 00:39:24.579
 Matthew says

00:39:24.579 --> 00:39:25.779
 he joined

00:39:25.779 --> 00:39:26.840
 in with

00:39:26.840 --> 00:39:27.420
 the reviling?

00:39:27.579 --> 00:39:28.079
 Luke tells

00:39:28.079 --> 00:39:29.719
 us something

00:39:29.719 --> 00:39:30.519
 changed.

00:39:31.500 --> 00:39:31.940
 He ended

00:39:31.940 --> 00:39:33.460
 up saying,

00:39:33.799 --> 00:39:34.599
 remember me

00:39:34.599 --> 00:39:35.059
 when you

00:39:35.059 --> 00:39:35.539
 come into

00:39:35.539 --> 00:39:36.079
 your kingdom.

00:39:36.460 --> 00:39:36.779
 Imagine

00:39:36.779 --> 00:39:37.420
 saying that

00:39:37.420 --> 00:39:37.880
 to this

00:39:37.880 --> 00:39:39.279
 dying man

00:39:39.279 --> 00:39:39.579
 on the

00:39:39.579 --> 00:39:40.079
 cross who

00:39:40.079 --> 00:39:40.440
 the world

00:39:40.440 --> 00:39:40.639
 is

00:39:40.639 --> 00:39:41.099
 condemning.

00:39:42.039 --> 00:39:42.500
 You've

00:39:42.500 --> 00:39:42.739
 got a

00:39:42.739 --> 00:39:43.000
 kingdom,

00:39:43.299 --> 00:39:43.599
 let me

00:39:43.599 --> 00:39:44.279
 in please.

00:39:45.519 --> 00:39:46.139
 Why did

00:39:46.139 --> 00:39:46.619
 he see

00:39:46.619 --> 00:39:46.820
 it?

00:39:50.340 --> 00:39:50.980
 Why did

00:39:50.980 --> 00:39:51.659
 Nicodemus,

00:39:51.719 --> 00:39:52.519
 a Pharisee,

00:39:55.619 --> 00:39:56.779
 he saw it

00:39:56.779 --> 00:39:57.219
 in the end,

00:39:57.219 --> 00:39:58.539
 John's

00:39:58.539 --> 00:39:59.059
 gospel tells

00:39:59.059 --> 00:39:59.199
 us.

00:39:59.459 --> 00:40:00.019
 Acts 6

00:40:00.019 --> 00:40:00.480
 verse 7

00:40:00.480 --> 00:40:00.959
 says that

00:40:00.959 --> 00:40:01.419
 a great

00:40:01.419 --> 00:40:01.899
 many of

00:40:01.899 --> 00:40:02.459
 the priests

00:40:02.459 --> 00:40:02.899
 became

00:40:02.899 --> 00:40:03.719
 obedient to

00:40:03.719 --> 00:40:04.119
 the faith.

00:40:04.659 --> 00:40:05.039
 Why did

00:40:05.039 --> 00:40:06.879
 they see?

00:40:07.379 --> 00:40:08.059
 Why do you

00:40:08.059 --> 00:40:08.759
 see him as

00:40:08.759 --> 00:40:12.139
 king when

00:40:12.139 --> 00:40:12.619
 others hear

00:40:12.619 --> 00:40:13.019
 the same

00:40:13.019 --> 00:40:13.679
 message and

00:40:13.679 --> 00:40:14.079
 don't?

00:40:14.079 --> 00:40:18.539
 a lady

00:40:18.539 --> 00:40:19.380
 came to

00:40:19.380 --> 00:40:19.900
 R.C.

00:40:19.960 --> 00:40:20.440
 Sproul,

00:40:21.819 --> 00:40:22.639
 a Bible

00:40:22.639 --> 00:40:22.960
 teacher,

00:40:24.960 --> 00:40:28.840
 and he

00:40:28.840 --> 00:40:29.460
 asked,

00:40:29.579 --> 00:40:30.079
 he pressed

00:40:30.079 --> 00:40:30.539
 her on

00:40:30.539 --> 00:40:31.239
 why,

00:40:31.699 --> 00:40:32.279
 why you

00:40:32.279 --> 00:40:32.599
 and not

00:40:32.599 --> 00:40:32.960
 others,

00:40:33.579 --> 00:40:35.159
 gently I

00:40:35.159 --> 00:40:35.400
 think,

00:40:35.400 --> 00:40:36.519
 but are you

00:40:36.519 --> 00:40:37.259
 wiser than

00:40:37.259 --> 00:40:39.299
 others to

00:40:39.299 --> 00:40:39.960
 comprehend the

00:40:39.960 --> 00:40:40.199
 Bible?

00:40:40.899 --> 00:40:41.299
 No,

00:40:41.379 --> 00:40:41.480
 no,

00:40:41.539 --> 00:40:41.639
 no,

00:40:41.639 --> 00:40:42.019
 it's not,

00:40:43.799 --> 00:40:44.139
 I'm

00:40:44.139 --> 00:40:44.619
 paraphrasing

00:40:44.619 --> 00:40:44.799
 it,

00:40:44.899 --> 00:40:45.119
 no,

00:40:45.239 --> 00:40:45.619
 it's not

00:40:45.619 --> 00:40:47.059
 my wisdom.

00:40:48.559 --> 00:40:49.199
 Then did

00:40:49.199 --> 00:40:49.699
 God see

00:40:49.699 --> 00:40:50.139
 some kind

00:40:50.139 --> 00:40:50.619
 of raw

00:40:50.619 --> 00:40:51.460
 material in

00:40:51.460 --> 00:40:51.859
 you that

00:40:51.859 --> 00:40:52.399
 you're more

00:40:52.399 --> 00:40:53.079
 useful to

00:40:53.079 --> 00:40:53.460
 him than

00:40:53.460 --> 00:40:53.739
 others?

00:40:54.019 --> 00:40:54.319
 No,

00:40:54.599 --> 00:40:54.879
 no,

00:40:54.960 --> 00:40:55.359
 it's not

00:40:55.359 --> 00:40:58.039
 anything like

00:40:58.039 --> 00:40:58.159
 that.

00:40:58.239 --> 00:40:58.480
 Were you

00:40:58.480 --> 00:40:59.139
 more humble?

00:41:00.019 --> 00:41:00.359
 Are you

00:41:00.359 --> 00:41:01.000
 more humble

00:41:01.000 --> 00:41:01.799
 in receiving

00:41:01.799 --> 00:41:02.359
 this news?

00:41:02.439 --> 00:41:02.639
 No,

00:41:02.819 --> 00:41:03.099
 I don't

00:41:03.099 --> 00:41:03.319
 want to

00:41:03.319 --> 00:41:03.659
 say I'm

00:41:03.659 --> 00:41:04.119
 more humble

00:41:04.119 --> 00:41:05.299
 than

00:41:05.299 --> 00:41:05.639
 others.

00:41:07.719 --> 00:41:08.460
 I just

00:41:08.460 --> 00:41:08.980
 received

00:41:08.980 --> 00:41:09.599
 his grace.

00:41:11.199 --> 00:41:11.939
 But why

00:41:11.939 --> 00:41:12.279
 did you

00:41:12.279 --> 00:41:12.799
 receive it

00:41:12.799 --> 00:41:13.079
 and not

00:41:13.079 --> 00:41:13.399
 others?

00:41:15.559 --> 00:41:16.439
 I saw

00:41:16.439 --> 00:41:16.839
 him and

00:41:16.839 --> 00:41:17.139
 what he

00:41:17.139 --> 00:41:17.539
 did in

00:41:17.539 --> 00:41:17.899
 the gospel

00:41:17.899 --> 00:41:18.599
 story,

00:41:18.679 --> 00:41:19.259
 but why

00:41:19.259 --> 00:41:19.779
 did you

00:41:19.779 --> 00:41:23.839
 see when

00:41:23.839 --> 00:41:24.679
 others don't

00:41:24.679 --> 00:41:25.019
 see?

00:41:25.739 --> 00:41:26.480
 He was just

00:41:26.480 --> 00:41:26.980
 pressing the

00:41:26.980 --> 00:41:27.219
 point.

00:41:27.339 --> 00:41:27.599
 In the

00:41:27.599 --> 00:41:27.899
 end,

00:41:29.359 --> 00:41:29.659
 when you

00:41:29.659 --> 00:41:30.339
 ask why

00:41:30.339 --> 00:41:31.239
 do you

00:41:31.239 --> 00:41:31.699
 believe,

00:41:31.819 --> 00:41:32.500
 if you're

00:41:32.500 --> 00:41:32.859
 a believer,

00:41:33.000 --> 00:41:33.460
 why do you

00:41:33.460 --> 00:41:33.879
 believe and

00:41:33.879 --> 00:41:34.719
 others don't

00:41:34.719 --> 00:41:35.359
 see the

00:41:35.359 --> 00:41:36.099
 glory here?

00:41:36.579 --> 00:41:37.099
 Either you've

00:41:37.099 --> 00:41:37.719
 got to say

00:41:37.719 --> 00:41:40.119
 I'm not

00:41:40.119 --> 00:41:40.500
 much,

00:41:40.980 --> 00:41:41.339
 but I'm

00:41:41.339 --> 00:41:41.539
 a

00:41:41.539 --> 00:41:42.079
 teensy

00:41:42.079 --> 00:41:42.500
 wincy

00:41:42.500 --> 00:41:43.199
 bit better

00:41:43.199 --> 00:41:44.679
 than other

00:41:44.679 --> 00:41:45.079
 people.

00:41:47.480 --> 00:41:48.159
 Either you've

00:41:48.159 --> 00:41:48.539
 got to say

00:41:48.539 --> 00:41:48.759
 that,

00:41:49.679 --> 00:41:50.480
 I see no

00:41:50.480 --> 00:41:50.940
 way around

00:41:50.940 --> 00:41:51.139
 that,

00:41:51.219 --> 00:41:51.659
 or you

00:41:51.659 --> 00:41:51.980
 say,

00:41:53.799 --> 00:41:56.420
 I'd still

00:41:56.420 --> 00:41:57.000
 be rejecting

00:41:57.000 --> 00:41:57.400
 him and

00:41:57.400 --> 00:41:57.960
 mocking him

00:41:57.960 --> 00:41:58.940
 if he

00:41:58.940 --> 00:41:59.339
 hadn't

00:41:59.339 --> 00:41:59.819
 revealed

00:41:59.819 --> 00:42:00.859
 his glory

00:42:00.859 --> 00:42:01.279
 to me.

00:42:02.480 --> 00:42:03.119
 In my

00:42:03.119 --> 00:42:03.900
 utter weakness,

00:42:04.119 --> 00:42:05.139
 he opened

00:42:05.139 --> 00:42:05.759
 my eyes.

00:42:05.760 --> 00:42:06.040
 saying,

00:42:06.480 --> 00:42:07.720
 it was

00:42:07.720 --> 00:42:07.920
 him

00:42:07.920 --> 00:42:08.260
 choosing

00:42:08.260 --> 00:42:08.520
 me.

00:42:08.700 --> 00:42:09.420
 I think

00:42:09.420 --> 00:42:09.620
 they're

00:42:09.620 --> 00:42:09.920
 your two

00:42:09.920 --> 00:42:10.260
 options.

00:42:13.820 --> 00:42:14.200
 I'm

00:42:14.200 --> 00:42:15.560
 saying

00:42:15.560 --> 00:42:16.220
 this to

00:42:16.220 --> 00:42:16.800
 urge us,

00:42:17.220 --> 00:42:19.040
 let your

00:42:19.040 --> 00:42:20.020
 boast only

00:42:20.020 --> 00:42:20.400
 be in

00:42:20.400 --> 00:42:20.620
 him.

00:42:21.900 --> 00:42:22.520
 If you

00:42:22.520 --> 00:42:23.000
 see his

00:42:23.000 --> 00:42:23.400
 glory,

00:42:23.520 --> 00:42:24.140
 his power

00:42:24.140 --> 00:42:24.420
 at the

00:42:24.420 --> 00:42:24.800
 cross,

00:42:25.000 --> 00:42:25.880
 let your

00:42:25.880 --> 00:42:26.480
 boast be

00:42:26.480 --> 00:42:26.860
 in him.

00:42:30.340 --> 00:42:30.820
 Going

00:42:30.820 --> 00:42:31.180
 back to

00:42:31.180 --> 00:42:31.380
 Matthew

00:42:31.380 --> 00:42:31.740
 11,

00:42:32.940 --> 00:42:33.380
 Jesus said,

00:42:33.460 --> 00:42:33.680
 at that

00:42:33.680 --> 00:42:33.940
 time,

00:42:34.020 --> 00:42:34.200
 Jesus

00:42:34.199 --> 00:42:34.579
 declared,

00:42:34.699 --> 00:42:35.159
 I thank

00:42:35.159 --> 00:42:35.359
 you,

00:42:35.460 --> 00:42:35.739
 Father,

00:42:36.460 --> 00:42:37.099
 Lord of

00:42:37.099 --> 00:42:37.519
 heaven and

00:42:37.519 --> 00:42:37.779
 earth,

00:42:37.839 --> 00:42:38.059
 that you

00:42:38.059 --> 00:42:38.639
 have hidden

00:42:38.639 --> 00:42:39.559
 these things

00:42:39.559 --> 00:42:39.960
 from the

00:42:39.960 --> 00:42:40.559
 wires and

00:42:40.559 --> 00:42:41.239
 understanding

00:42:41.239 --> 00:42:43.500
 and revealed

00:42:43.500 --> 00:42:44.960
 them to

00:42:44.960 --> 00:42:45.259
 little

00:42:45.259 --> 00:42:45.679
 children.

00:42:47.419 --> 00:42:47.719
 Yes,

00:42:47.819 --> 00:42:48.099
 Father,

00:42:48.199 --> 00:42:48.879
 for such

00:42:48.879 --> 00:42:50.019
 was your

00:42:50.019 --> 00:42:50.500
 gracious

00:42:50.500 --> 00:42:51.079
 will.

00:42:52.000 --> 00:42:52.659
 All things

00:42:52.659 --> 00:42:52.960
 have been

00:42:52.960 --> 00:42:53.519
 handed over

00:42:53.519 --> 00:42:54.019
 to me by

00:42:54.019 --> 00:42:54.579
 my Father,

00:42:55.439 --> 00:42:55.859
 and no

00:42:55.859 --> 00:42:56.419
 one knows

00:42:56.419 --> 00:42:56.859
 the Son

00:42:56.859 --> 00:42:57.739
 except the

00:42:57.739 --> 00:42:58.079
 Father,

00:42:58.219 --> 00:42:58.500
 and no

00:42:58.500 --> 00:42:58.819
 one knows

00:42:58.819 --> 00:42:59.239
 the Father

00:42:59.239 --> 00:43:00.199
 except the

00:43:00.199 --> 00:43:00.519
 Son,

00:43:01.319 --> 00:43:01.919
 and anyone

00:43:01.919 --> 00:43:02.359
 to whom

00:43:02.359 --> 00:43:02.759
 the Son

00:43:02.759 --> 00:43:03.659
 chooses to

00:43:03.659 --> 00:43:04.299
 reveal him.

00:43:05.739 --> 00:43:06.219
 Come to

00:43:06.219 --> 00:43:06.480
 me,

00:43:07.539 --> 00:43:08.539
 all who

00:43:08.539 --> 00:43:09.199
 labor and

00:43:09.199 --> 00:43:09.539
 are heavy

00:43:09.539 --> 00:43:09.940
 laden,

00:43:10.000 --> 00:43:10.259
 and I

00:43:10.259 --> 00:43:10.579
 will give

00:43:10.579 --> 00:43:11.139
 you rest.

00:43:12.500 --> 00:43:13.179
 Take my

00:43:13.179 --> 00:43:13.639
 yoke upon

00:43:13.639 --> 00:43:13.980
 you and

00:43:13.980 --> 00:43:14.399
 learn from

00:43:14.399 --> 00:43:14.619
 me,

00:43:15.339 --> 00:43:15.819
 for I

00:43:15.819 --> 00:43:16.559
 am gentle

00:43:16.559 --> 00:43:17.359
 and lowly

00:43:17.359 --> 00:43:17.839
 in heart,

00:43:17.940 --> 00:43:18.119
 and you

00:43:18.119 --> 00:43:18.440
 will find

00:43:18.440 --> 00:43:18.859
 rest for

00:43:18.859 --> 00:43:19.420
 your souls,

00:43:20.799 --> 00:43:21.440
 for my

00:43:21.440 --> 00:43:21.839
 yoke is

00:43:21.839 --> 00:43:22.239
 easy and

00:43:22.239 --> 00:43:22.799
 my burden

00:43:22.799 --> 00:43:23.460
 is light.

00:43:24.739 --> 00:43:25.179
 Let's

00:43:25.179 --> 00:43:26.319
 give all

00:43:26.319 --> 00:43:26.679
 the credit

00:43:26.679 --> 00:43:27.079
 to him,

00:43:27.619 --> 00:43:28.219
 if you

00:43:28.219 --> 00:43:28.679
 see his

00:43:28.679 --> 00:43:29.279
 power and

00:43:29.279 --> 00:43:29.639
 glory.

00:43:31.079 --> 00:43:31.539
 And just

00:43:31.539 --> 00:43:32.159
 quickly and

00:43:32.159 --> 00:43:32.500
 finally,

00:43:32.500 --> 00:43:35.159
 if we

00:43:35.159 --> 00:43:36.480
 see God's

00:43:36.480 --> 00:43:37.519
 power working

00:43:37.519 --> 00:43:38.000
 through his

00:43:38.000 --> 00:43:39.039
 weakness and

00:43:39.039 --> 00:43:40.119
 rejection and

00:43:40.119 --> 00:43:41.219
 feeling utterly

00:43:41.219 --> 00:43:42.000
 overwhelmed,

00:43:43.000 --> 00:43:46.519
 let's

00:43:46.519 --> 00:43:47.679
 expect God

00:43:47.679 --> 00:43:49.579
 to powerfully

00:43:49.579 --> 00:43:50.420
 work through

00:43:50.420 --> 00:43:53.480
 us in

00:43:53.480 --> 00:43:54.579
 our weakness

00:43:54.579 --> 00:43:56.820
 and rejection

00:43:56.820 --> 00:43:58.780
 and utterly

00:43:58.780 --> 00:43:59.519
 overwhelmed.

00:43:59.519 --> 00:43:59.579
 strong.

00:44:01.360 --> 00:44:02.119
 I keep

00:44:02.119 --> 00:44:02.500
 wanting to

00:44:02.500 --> 00:44:03.199
 be strong

00:44:03.199 --> 00:44:04.340
 as the

00:44:04.340 --> 00:44:05.000
 world counts

00:44:05.000 --> 00:44:05.440
 strong.

00:44:06.179 --> 00:44:06.980
 If we

00:44:06.980 --> 00:44:07.539
 want this

00:44:07.539 --> 00:44:08.259
 message of

00:44:08.259 --> 00:44:08.679
 the cross

00:44:08.679 --> 00:44:09.519
 to be

00:44:09.519 --> 00:44:10.259
 shown in

00:44:10.259 --> 00:44:10.880
 our lives

00:44:10.880 --> 00:44:11.539
 and spoken,

00:44:14.259 --> 00:44:15.199
 get ready

00:44:15.199 --> 00:44:15.860
 for weakness,

00:44:16.380 --> 00:44:18.880
 but let's

00:44:18.880 --> 00:44:19.820
 embrace it

00:44:19.820 --> 00:44:21.320
 God's

00:44:21.320 --> 00:44:23.880
 power,

00:44:24.160 --> 00:44:25.160
 this message

00:44:25.160 --> 00:44:25.680
 of the

00:44:25.680 --> 00:44:26.120
 cross

00:44:26.120 --> 00:44:27.580
 will shine

00:44:27.580 --> 00:44:28.160
 forth

00:44:28.160 --> 00:44:32.480
 through our

00:44:32.480 --> 00:44:32.900
 weakness.

00:44:39.240 --> 00:44:39.960
 This is

00:44:39.960 --> 00:44:40.320
 an abrupt

00:44:40.320 --> 00:44:40.620
 ending,

00:44:40.860 --> 00:44:41.140
 but that's

00:44:41.140 --> 00:44:41.440
 all I've

00:44:41.440 --> 00:44:41.580
 got.

00:44:41.700 --> 00:44:41.880
 Let's

00:44:41.880 --> 00:44:42.059
 pray.

00:44:42.059 --> 00:44:42.580
 Let's

00:44:42.580 --> 00:44:42.800
 pray.

00:44:42.800 --> 00:44:42.800


00:44:42.800 --> 00:44:42.880
 pray.

00:44:42.880 --> 00:44:42.880


00:44:42.880 --> 00:44:42.880


00:44:42.880 --> 00:44:42.880


00:44:42.880 --> 00:44:42.880


00:44:42.880 --> 00:44:42.880


00:44:42.880 --> 00:44:42.880


00:44:42.880 --> 00:44:42.880


00:44:42.880 --> 00:44:42.880


00:44:42.880 --> 00:44:42.880


00:44:42.880 --> 00:44:42.880


00:44:42.880 --> 00:44:42.880


00:44:42.880 --> 00:44:42.880


00:44:42.880 --> 00:44:42.880


00:44:42.880 --> 00:44:42.880


00:44:42.880 --> 00:44:42.880


00:44:42.880 --> 00:44:42.880


00:44:42.880 --> 00:44:42.880


00:44:42.880 --> 00:44:42.880


00:44:42.880 --> 00:44:42.880


00:44:42.880 --> 00:44:42.880


00:44:42.880 --> 00:44:51.539
 Our

00:44:51.539 --> 00:44:51.980
 Father in

00:44:51.980 --> 00:44:52.260
 heaven,

00:44:53.260 --> 00:44:55.240
 that we

00:44:55.240 --> 00:44:55.720
 can call

00:44:55.720 --> 00:44:56.579
 you our

00:44:56.579 --> 00:44:57.039
 Father,

00:44:57.700 --> 00:44:59.200
 we give

00:44:59.200 --> 00:45:00.119
 all praise

00:45:00.119 --> 00:45:00.700
 to you,

00:45:00.900 --> 00:45:01.420
 we thank

00:45:01.420 --> 00:45:01.700
 you.

00:45:06.340 --> 00:45:07.220
 May the

00:45:07.220 --> 00:45:07.760
 depths of

00:45:07.760 --> 00:45:08.320
 our heart

00:45:08.320 --> 00:45:09.260
 thank you.

00:45:09.260 --> 00:45:09.320
 Thank you.

00:45:09.320 --> 00:45:09.320


00:45:09.320 --> 00:45:09.320


00:45:12.880 --> 00:45:17.619
 May we

00:45:17.619 --> 00:45:18.440
 trust you

00:45:18.440 --> 00:45:21.460
 deeply,

00:45:21.640 --> 00:45:22.059
 whatever

00:45:22.059 --> 00:45:23.240
 sense of

00:45:23.240 --> 00:45:24.059
 being forsaken

00:45:24.059 --> 00:45:25.480
 we go

00:45:25.480 --> 00:45:26.059
 through and

00:45:26.059 --> 00:45:26.579
 you lead

00:45:26.579 --> 00:45:27.220
 us through.

00:45:28.619 --> 00:45:29.400
 May we

00:45:29.400 --> 00:45:30.180
 see at the

00:45:30.180 --> 00:45:30.860
 cross the

00:45:30.860 --> 00:45:31.840
 victories that

00:45:31.840 --> 00:45:33.380
 we will

00:45:33.380 --> 00:45:33.860
 never be

00:45:33.860 --> 00:45:34.900
 forsaken and

00:45:34.900 --> 00:45:35.400
 I pray that

00:45:35.400 --> 00:45:35.619
 you would

00:45:35.619 --> 00:45:35.960
 help us

00:45:35.960 --> 00:45:36.519
 embrace

00:45:36.519 --> 00:45:39.220
 using us

00:45:39.220 --> 00:45:40.200
 to spread

00:45:40.200 --> 00:45:41.140
 this message

00:45:41.140 --> 00:45:41.820
 through our

00:45:41.820 --> 00:45:42.119
 weakness.
