00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:15.060
 From as early as the 4th century, Christians have recognized this day as Palm Sunday, which of course commemorates the moment when Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey.

00:00:15.060 --> 00:00:15.060


00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:38.659
 It's often referred to as Holy Week. Of course, Holy Week culminates in the celebration of Christ's resurrection on Easter Sunday.

00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:43.539
 And perhaps beginning on this day and through the week, you have a particular reading plan.

00:00:43.719 --> 00:00:53.760
 Perhaps you're reading through the Gospels, as they tell, of the days leading up to the crucifixion and then, of course, the crucifixion itself and the resurrection.

00:00:53.759 --> 00:01:00.839
 Our church has never really followed a liturgical calendar, at least not very rigidly.

00:01:01.379 --> 00:01:08.659
 We do what most churches do, of course, with Easter and Christmas, and occasionally we'll throw in one of the other dates as well.

00:01:08.739 --> 00:01:13.680
 But today, we're going to jump on board with the typical Christian liturgical calendar,

00:01:14.599 --> 00:01:23.640
 joining with literally millions of Christians around the world today who are meditating on the significance of this moment in the life of Christ.

00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:30.640
 And we're going to do so by considering the account of this found in the Gospel of Luke.

00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:33.480
 Luke 19, beginning at verse 28.

00:01:36.380 --> 00:01:41.140
 When he had said these things, he went on ahead going to Jerusalem.

00:01:42.600 --> 00:01:48.460
 When he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany at the mount that is called Olivet,

00:01:49.180 --> 00:01:50.960
 he sent two of his disciples, saying,

00:01:50.959 --> 00:01:59.099
 Go into the village in front of you, where on entering you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever sat.

00:02:00.179 --> 00:02:01.619
 Untie it and bring it here.

00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:04.979
 If anyone asks you, why are you untying it?

00:02:05.500 --> 00:02:06.599
 You shall say this,

00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:08.400
 The Lord has need of it.

00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:14.120
 So those who were sent away and found it just as he had told them.

00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:17.480
 And as they were untying the colt, its owner said to them,

00:02:17.659 --> 00:02:19.319
 Why are you untying the colt?

00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:20.960
 Reasonable question.

00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:22.800
 They said,

00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:23.980
 The Lord has need of it.

00:02:23.979 --> 00:02:32.219
 And they brought it to Jesus and throwing their cloaks on the colt, they set Jesus on it.

00:02:32.739 --> 00:02:36.199
 And as he rode along, they spread their cloaks on the road.

00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:41.799
 As he was drawing near, already on the way down the Mount of Olives,

00:02:41.800 --> 00:02:50.460
 the whole multitude of his disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works they had seen,

00:02:50.460 --> 00:02:50.840
 saying,

00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:53.860
 Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord.

00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:57.280
 Peace in heaven and glory in the highest.

00:02:58.740 --> 00:03:01.439
 And some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him,

00:03:01.640 --> 00:03:03.800
 Teacher, rebuke your disciples.

00:03:03.800 --> 00:03:05.900
 And he answered,

00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:11.120
 I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out.

00:03:12.340 --> 00:03:15.660
 And when he drew near and saw the city, he wept over it,

00:03:16.980 --> 00:03:17.320
 saying,

00:03:17.500 --> 00:03:22.420
 Would that you, even you, had known on this day the things that make for peace,

00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:25.700
 but now they are hidden from your eyes.

00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:32.560
 For the days will come upon you when your enemies will set up a barricade around you

00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:35.240
 and surround you and hem you in on every side

00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:37.939
 and tear you down to the ground,

00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:40.879
 you and your children within you,

00:03:41.759 --> 00:03:44.800
 and they will not leave one stone upon another in you

00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:48.000
 because you did not know the time of your visitation.

00:03:49.340 --> 00:03:52.620
 And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who sold,

00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:53.939
 saying to them,

00:03:54.219 --> 00:03:54.759
 It is written,

00:03:55.480 --> 00:03:57.180
 My house shall be a house of prayer.

00:03:58.360 --> 00:03:59.879
 You have made it a den of robbers.

00:03:59.879 --> 00:04:03.199
 And he was teaching daily in the temple.

00:04:04.060 --> 00:04:07.180
 The chief priests and the scribes and the principal men of the people

00:04:07.180 --> 00:04:08.900
 were seeking to destroy him.

00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:11.960
 But they did not find anything they could do,

00:04:12.299 --> 00:04:15.799
 for all the people were hanging on his words.

00:04:16.939 --> 00:04:17.240
 Amen.

00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:20.959
 What is important for us to remember

00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:22.860
 what the Gospels,

00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:24.519
 by Gospels I mean

00:04:24.519 --> 00:04:29.099
 the four Gospel pieces of literature in the New Testament,

00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:31.099
 it's important for us to remember

00:04:31.099 --> 00:04:32.919
 what they intend to accomplish

00:04:32.919 --> 00:04:35.879
 as a literary genre.

00:04:37.159 --> 00:04:40.060
 Many people will equate them to biographies,

00:04:40.519 --> 00:04:44.079
 but while they contain biographical information,

00:04:44.799 --> 00:04:46.799
 the authors of these Gospels

00:04:46.799 --> 00:04:49.719
 were not intending simply to tell us a few things

00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:51.640
 about Jesus' life.

00:04:52.080 --> 00:04:53.600
 That's not exactly what they are.

00:04:54.640 --> 00:04:56.440
 The Gospels are collections

00:04:56.440 --> 00:04:59.040
 of historical data

00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:01.620
 meant to persuade,

00:05:02.620 --> 00:05:04.160
 meant to persuade the readers

00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:06.580
 of a particular thing,

00:05:06.660 --> 00:05:09.000
 of the identity and the work of Christ,

00:05:09.300 --> 00:05:10.620
 of Jesus, of Nazareth,

00:05:10.620 --> 00:05:12.699
 and to persuade the reader,

00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:13.199
 therefore,

00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:15.300
 to trust in him

00:05:15.300 --> 00:05:17.699
 as the promised Messiah

00:05:17.699 --> 00:05:19.720
 and the Son of God

00:05:19.720 --> 00:05:22.780
 who has come to save us from our sins.

00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:25.399
 So they're not storybooks

00:05:25.399 --> 00:05:27.560
 designed to entertain us.

00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:30.519
 They are arguments

00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:33.259
 meant to convince us.

00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:35.579
 That's what the four Gospels are.

00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:37.240
 That's what they intend

00:05:37.240 --> 00:05:38.860
 to accomplish,

00:05:38.860 --> 00:05:41.939
 what their authors intended to accomplish.

00:05:42.460 --> 00:05:43.960
 Now, each of the four Gospel authors

00:05:43.960 --> 00:05:45.600
 have unique sources.

00:05:46.460 --> 00:05:48.500
 They also have unique audiences

00:05:48.500 --> 00:05:49.980
 for their material.

00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:52.280
 Matthew and John

00:05:52.280 --> 00:05:55.620
 were both part of Jesus' band of disciples

00:05:55.620 --> 00:05:58.699
 and were themselves eyewitnesses

00:05:58.699 --> 00:06:00.220
 of the events and the teachings

00:06:00.220 --> 00:06:01.460
 of Jesus' ministry.

00:06:02.819 --> 00:06:04.980
 John Mark was not a direct disciple

00:06:04.980 --> 00:06:06.580
 of the Lord Jesus,

00:06:07.080 --> 00:06:08.660
 but he came shortly thereafter

00:06:08.660 --> 00:06:09.820
 and was mentored

00:06:09.820 --> 00:06:11.780
 by the Apostle Peter.

00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:14.100
 Some point along the way

00:06:14.100 --> 00:06:15.680
 throughout their ministry in Rome,

00:06:16.340 --> 00:06:17.460
 those who had been listening

00:06:17.460 --> 00:06:18.420
 to Peter's preaching

00:06:18.420 --> 00:06:21.120
 and hearing Peter's eyewitness testimony

00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:22.420
 of the things of Jesus

00:06:22.420 --> 00:06:25.500
 asked that Mark would record those things

00:06:25.500 --> 00:06:26.879
 that they may have a copy of it

00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:28.200
 and the Lord has used that

00:06:28.200 --> 00:06:31.000
 so that we might have Mark's Gospel as well.

00:06:32.100 --> 00:06:33.240
 And then we come to Luke.

00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:35.340
 Luke was a companion

00:06:35.340 --> 00:06:36.640
 of the Apostle Paul

00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:38.860
 and because of that,

00:06:38.979 --> 00:06:41.719
 he moved in prominent Christian circles

00:06:41.719 --> 00:06:42.779
 in the first century

00:06:42.779 --> 00:06:44.879
 and his Gospel

00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:46.819
 presents the accounts

00:06:46.819 --> 00:06:49.139
 of various eyewitness testimonies

00:06:49.139 --> 00:06:50.000
 of the Lord Jesus.

00:06:51.300 --> 00:06:52.099
 And the purpose

00:06:52.099 --> 00:06:54.740
 of this collection of testimonies

00:06:54.740 --> 00:06:56.219
 by Luke's own admission

00:06:56.219 --> 00:06:59.399
 is that we might have certainty

00:06:59.399 --> 00:07:01.259
 about the person

00:07:01.259 --> 00:07:03.579
 and the work of Jesus

00:07:03.579 --> 00:07:04.379
 of Nazareth

00:07:04.379 --> 00:07:05.879
 as it relates

00:07:05.879 --> 00:07:07.659
 to our personal salvation.

00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:09.259
 Let me just read you

00:07:09.259 --> 00:07:10.339
 the opening dialogue

00:07:10.339 --> 00:07:12.180
 of his Gospel,

00:07:12.259 --> 00:07:14.219
 the very first four verses.

00:07:14.420 --> 00:07:15.659
 Luke says,

00:07:15.660 --> 00:07:18.660
 Inasmuch as many have undertaken

00:07:18.660 --> 00:07:20.420
 to compile a narrative

00:07:20.420 --> 00:07:21.240
 of the things

00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:22.080
 that have been accomplished

00:07:22.080 --> 00:07:22.780
 among us,

00:07:23.580 --> 00:07:24.640
 just as those

00:07:24.640 --> 00:07:25.660
 who from the beginning

00:07:25.660 --> 00:07:27.320
 were eyewitnesses

00:07:27.320 --> 00:07:28.900
 and ministers of the word

00:07:28.900 --> 00:07:30.900
 have delivered them to us,

00:07:31.620 --> 00:07:33.560
 it seemed good to me also,

00:07:34.320 --> 00:07:36.500
 having followed all things closely

00:07:36.500 --> 00:07:38.140
 for some time past,

00:07:38.660 --> 00:07:40.820
 to write an orderly account

00:07:40.820 --> 00:07:41.500
 for you,

00:07:41.980 --> 00:07:43.660
 most excellent Theophilus,

00:07:43.660 --> 00:07:46.560
 that you may have certainty

00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:48.520
 concerning the things

00:07:48.520 --> 00:07:50.040
 you have been taught.

00:07:51.300 --> 00:07:51.780
 So,

00:07:52.540 --> 00:07:54.380
 the events recorded for us

00:07:54.380 --> 00:07:55.560
 in Luke 19

00:07:55.560 --> 00:07:57.340
 are there

00:07:57.340 --> 00:07:58.860
 to contribute

00:07:58.860 --> 00:08:01.560
 to Luke's persuasive argument

00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:03.720
 about the Gospel of Jesus.

00:08:04.100 --> 00:08:05.780
 If we're trying to wonder

00:08:05.780 --> 00:08:07.280
 why are these here,

00:08:07.620 --> 00:08:09.100
 what is their purpose,

00:08:09.740 --> 00:08:10.420
 fundamentally,

00:08:10.680 --> 00:08:12.080
 Luke has already told us,

00:08:12.640 --> 00:08:13.500
 they are here

00:08:13.500 --> 00:08:15.699
 as part of an orderly account

00:08:15.699 --> 00:08:17.040
 of the life

00:08:17.040 --> 00:08:18.040
 and ministry

00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:18.699
 and teachings

00:08:18.699 --> 00:08:19.699
 of the Lord Jesus

00:08:19.699 --> 00:08:21.540
 in order that we might

00:08:21.540 --> 00:08:22.639
 have certainty

00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:24.680
 about what actually happened

00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:25.620
 in His life

00:08:25.620 --> 00:08:27.500
 so that we may increase

00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:29.220
 in our faith in Him

00:08:29.220 --> 00:08:30.839
 as Messiah and Lord.

00:08:32.039 --> 00:08:32.220
 Now,

00:08:32.259 --> 00:08:32.720
 the significance

00:08:32.720 --> 00:08:34.279
 of the triumphal entry,

00:08:34.519 --> 00:08:36.279
 as we often refer to it

00:08:36.279 --> 00:08:37.340
 in Christian language,

00:08:38.039 --> 00:08:39.460
 the significance of it

00:08:39.460 --> 00:08:40.259
 to the arguments

00:08:40.259 --> 00:08:41.259
 of the Gospels

00:08:41.259 --> 00:08:43.740
 is undoubtable

00:08:43.740 --> 00:08:45.779
 because all four of them

00:08:45.779 --> 00:08:47.559
 include a detailed account

00:08:47.559 --> 00:08:48.740
 of this particular event.

00:08:49.059 --> 00:08:49.299
 Now,

00:08:49.379 --> 00:08:50.279
 that's unusual.

00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:52.279
 It's not unusual

00:08:52.279 --> 00:08:53.019
 for Matthew,

00:08:53.259 --> 00:08:53.480
 Mark,

00:08:53.539 --> 00:08:53.899
 and Luke,

00:08:54.019 --> 00:08:55.299
 the synoptic Gospels,

00:08:55.460 --> 00:08:57.220
 to share lots of material

00:08:57.220 --> 00:08:58.220
 between one another,

00:08:58.340 --> 00:08:58.679
 although,

00:08:59.080 --> 00:09:00.759
 with differing perspectives,

00:09:01.019 --> 00:09:02.679
 they have lots of the same material

00:09:02.679 --> 00:09:03.319
 that they're covering.

00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:04.759
 John is different from that.

00:09:04.879 --> 00:09:06.500
 John is doing a different kind of thing

00:09:06.500 --> 00:09:07.240
 with his Gospel,

00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:08.600
 filling in some gaps.

00:09:08.600 --> 00:09:10.399
 It's unusual for us

00:09:10.399 --> 00:09:11.200
 to find moments

00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:12.200
 in Jesus' life

00:09:12.200 --> 00:09:13.320
 that are recorded

00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:14.120
 in all four,

00:09:14.440 --> 00:09:15.860
 and so when they are recorded

00:09:15.860 --> 00:09:16.879
 in all four,

00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:18.899
 we should pay careful attention

00:09:18.899 --> 00:09:20.240
 to why they're there.

00:09:20.620 --> 00:09:20.879
 Well,

00:09:20.920 --> 00:09:22.120
 this is one such story.

00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:23.360
 It's in all four

00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:24.060
 of our Gospels,

00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:25.519
 and it's not merely mentioned

00:09:25.519 --> 00:09:26.519
 in the four Gospels.

00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:27.580
 It's actually covered

00:09:27.580 --> 00:09:29.580
 in incredible detail.

00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:31.759
 It highlights

00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:33.000
 a significant moment

00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:34.860
 of prophetic fulfillment,

00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:36.860
 and it reveals

00:09:36.860 --> 00:09:37.879
 a great deal

00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:40.159
 about Jesus' character,

00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:41.799
 purpose,

00:09:42.399 --> 00:09:43.899
 as the Messiah of God.

00:09:45.259 --> 00:09:46.720
 And what Luke does here for us

00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:47.379
 in Luke 19

00:09:47.379 --> 00:09:48.740
 that I find to be so helpful

00:09:48.740 --> 00:09:49.840
 is he groups

00:09:49.840 --> 00:09:52.419
 three unique scenes

00:09:52.419 --> 00:09:53.279
 together

00:09:53.279 --> 00:09:55.299
 to help us see

00:09:55.299 --> 00:09:55.939
 Jesus

00:09:55.939 --> 00:09:57.939
 as our prophet,

00:09:58.600 --> 00:09:58.980
 priest,

00:09:59.460 --> 00:10:00.000
 and king.

00:10:01.539 --> 00:10:02.759
 Studying through this this week,

00:10:02.820 --> 00:10:03.399
 I thought about

00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:05.019
 the toys that I had,

00:10:05.379 --> 00:10:06.519
 that we had as kids.

00:10:06.519 --> 00:10:08.159
 I think Mattel made them.

00:10:08.279 --> 00:10:08.740
 They were called

00:10:08.740 --> 00:10:09.699
 viewfinders,

00:10:10.220 --> 00:10:10.779
 which were like

00:10:10.779 --> 00:10:11.559
 these funny little

00:10:11.559 --> 00:10:12.720
 camera-looking things.

00:10:12.799 --> 00:10:13.840
 You'd put your eyes up to it,

00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:15.179
 and they had the reel,

00:10:15.299 --> 00:10:15.919
 the picture reel

00:10:15.919 --> 00:10:16.840
 that you'd stick in the top.

00:10:16.899 --> 00:10:17.860
 You could change out the reels,

00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:18.960
 and there was a lever

00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:19.319
 on the side.

00:10:19.379 --> 00:10:20.340
 When you look through the camera,

00:10:20.699 --> 00:10:21.439
 you saw a picture,

00:10:21.600 --> 00:10:22.379
 and if you pull the lever

00:10:22.379 --> 00:10:23.059
 on the side,

00:10:23.559 --> 00:10:24.480
 the reel turns,

00:10:24.819 --> 00:10:25.740
 and you see the next picture.

00:10:26.019 --> 00:10:27.199
 You guys have those as kids?

00:10:27.819 --> 00:10:28.240
 Yeah, okay.

00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:28.740
 So you know

00:10:28.740 --> 00:10:29.399
 what I'm talking about.

00:10:30.699 --> 00:10:30.980
 Viewfinders,

00:10:31.059 --> 00:10:31.559
 Mattel made them.

00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:31.799
 I don't know

00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:32.500
 if they make them anymore,

00:10:32.500 --> 00:10:33.799
 but I remember them

00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:34.120
 as a kid.

00:10:34.159 --> 00:10:34.840
 I thought about that.

00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:37.019
 As Luke is compiling

00:10:37.019 --> 00:10:38.600
 these eyewitness accounts,

00:10:38.679 --> 00:10:39.480
 and as he gets to

00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:40.860
 chapter 19 here,

00:10:40.899 --> 00:10:41.659
 and he's telling us

00:10:41.659 --> 00:10:44.000
 about this momentous moment

00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:45.500
 in Jesus' life

00:10:45.500 --> 00:10:46.139
 and ministry,

00:10:46.419 --> 00:10:47.100
 and he groups

00:10:47.100 --> 00:10:48.320
 these three pictures together,

00:10:48.539 --> 00:10:49.340
 I want to take

00:10:49.340 --> 00:10:50.899
 the viewfinder approach

00:10:50.899 --> 00:10:51.620
 to the text.

00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:52.960
 That is,

00:10:53.720 --> 00:10:54.740
 I want us to

00:10:54.740 --> 00:10:56.179
 kind of flip through

00:10:56.179 --> 00:10:57.460
 the three scenes

00:10:57.460 --> 00:10:58.440
 pictured here

00:10:58.440 --> 00:11:00.000
 so that we might

00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:01.480
 get a general idea

00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:03.420
 of what happened

00:11:03.420 --> 00:11:05.000
 while thinking

00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:06.200
 primarily

00:11:06.200 --> 00:11:08.040
 about how each scene

00:11:08.040 --> 00:11:08.960
 contributes to

00:11:08.960 --> 00:11:09.740
 our understanding

00:11:09.740 --> 00:11:10.960
 of the gospel,

00:11:11.340 --> 00:11:11.940
 our understanding

00:11:11.940 --> 00:11:12.760
 of the gospel of Jesus.

00:11:12.820 --> 00:11:13.240
 So that's what we're

00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:13.580
 going to do.

00:11:13.760 --> 00:11:14.520
 We can't cover

00:11:14.520 --> 00:11:15.820
 every detail.

00:11:15.940 --> 00:11:16.400
 I'll have to leave

00:11:16.400 --> 00:11:17.020
 that to you,

00:11:17.160 --> 00:11:17.740
 but what we're going

00:11:17.740 --> 00:11:17.880
 to do,

00:11:17.920 --> 00:11:18.220
 we're just going to

00:11:18.220 --> 00:11:18.740
 pull the lever

00:11:18.740 --> 00:11:19.440
 a couple times.

00:11:20.060 --> 00:11:20.520
 We're going to see

00:11:20.520 --> 00:11:21.080
 the scenes.

00:11:21.440 --> 00:11:22.140
 We're going to examine

00:11:22.140 --> 00:11:22.760
 them briefly,

00:11:23.240 --> 00:11:24.460
 and ask how is this

00:11:24.460 --> 00:11:25.380
 contributing to our

00:11:25.380 --> 00:11:26.180
 understanding of the

00:11:26.180 --> 00:11:26.900
 gospel of Jesus?

00:11:26.899 --> 00:11:28.759
 scene number one.

00:11:29.899 --> 00:11:30.759
 We might call it

00:11:30.759 --> 00:11:32.259
 riding down the road.

00:11:33.299 --> 00:11:34.319
 Riding down the road.

00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:36.919
 The first picture here

00:11:36.919 --> 00:11:39.259
 is our Bible viewfinder.

00:11:39.579 --> 00:11:41.519
 It's a celebratory scene.

00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:44.399
 Jesus is mounted

00:11:44.399 --> 00:11:45.139
 on a donkey

00:11:45.139 --> 00:11:46.159
 traveling from

00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:47.620
 the Mount of Olives

00:11:47.620 --> 00:11:48.399
 to Jerusalem.

00:11:49.319 --> 00:11:50.699
 A growing multitude

00:11:50.699 --> 00:11:52.000
 of people are beginning

00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:53.259
 to line the streets

00:11:53.259 --> 00:11:54.519
 with clothing

00:11:54.519 --> 00:11:56.240
 and palm branches.

00:11:56.899 --> 00:11:58.740
 The crowd

00:11:58.740 --> 00:12:00.319
 greets the Lord Jesus

00:12:00.319 --> 00:12:01.379
 not as a rabbi.

00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:02.679
 They greet him

00:12:02.679 --> 00:12:03.240
 in this moment

00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:04.000
 as a king.

00:12:05.319 --> 00:12:06.439
 And their shouts

00:12:06.439 --> 00:12:07.259
 are shouts of

00:12:07.259 --> 00:12:09.139
 salvation from God.

00:12:10.840 --> 00:12:11.439
 Clearly,

00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:12.199
 they believed

00:12:12.199 --> 00:12:13.539
 that Jesus

00:12:13.539 --> 00:12:15.039
 was the promised

00:12:15.039 --> 00:12:16.720
 Messiah King

00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:17.600
 come from God

00:12:17.600 --> 00:12:18.459
 to deliver them.

00:12:19.459 --> 00:12:20.439
 Their triumphant

00:12:20.439 --> 00:12:21.399
 shouts then

00:12:21.399 --> 00:12:22.600
 suggest they expected

00:12:22.600 --> 00:12:23.779
 him to make

00:12:23.779 --> 00:12:24.399
 his move

00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:25.139
 during this

00:12:25.139 --> 00:12:25.759
 particular

00:12:25.759 --> 00:12:27.779
 Passover event.

00:12:28.779 --> 00:12:29.819
 And they weren't

00:12:29.819 --> 00:12:30.819
 entirely wrong.

00:12:32.439 --> 00:12:33.259
 Jesus indeed

00:12:33.259 --> 00:12:34.340
 was the promised

00:12:34.340 --> 00:12:35.279
 Messiah King

00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:36.159
 and he would

00:12:36.159 --> 00:12:37.279
 indeed deliver

00:12:37.279 --> 00:12:38.000
 his people

00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:39.179
 during this

00:12:39.179 --> 00:12:40.120
 celebration

00:12:40.120 --> 00:12:40.959
 of Passover.

00:12:42.240 --> 00:12:43.240
 But he wouldn't

00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:43.939
 do it at all

00:12:43.939 --> 00:12:44.679
 how they wanted

00:12:44.679 --> 00:12:46.319
 or at all

00:12:46.319 --> 00:12:47.399
 how they expected.

00:12:48.759 --> 00:12:50.019
 He didn't come

00:12:50.019 --> 00:12:51.399
 as a conquering king

00:12:51.399 --> 00:12:52.559
 to defeat

00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:53.759
 Roman oppressors.

00:12:54.759 --> 00:12:55.399
 He came

00:12:55.399 --> 00:12:56.480
 as a humble king

00:12:56.480 --> 00:12:58.259
 to lay down

00:12:58.259 --> 00:12:58.899
 his life

00:12:58.899 --> 00:13:00.419
 as a sacrifice

00:13:00.419 --> 00:13:01.419
 for their sins.

00:13:02.840 --> 00:13:03.659
 I want to highlight

00:13:03.659 --> 00:13:04.539
 three ideas

00:13:04.539 --> 00:13:05.639
 for you in this picture

00:13:05.639 --> 00:13:06.639
 that's presented

00:13:06.639 --> 00:13:07.579
 to us by Luke.

00:13:07.740 --> 00:13:08.360
 The first thing

00:13:08.360 --> 00:13:09.039
 I want you to notice

00:13:09.039 --> 00:13:09.919
 is that the scene

00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:10.840
 here is deliberate.

00:13:11.799 --> 00:13:12.360
 It's deliberate.

00:13:13.059 --> 00:13:13.539
 Look with me

00:13:13.539 --> 00:13:14.419
 at verse 28.

00:13:14.419 --> 00:13:16.120
 When he had said

00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:16.719
 these things

00:13:16.719 --> 00:13:17.559
 he went on ahead

00:13:17.559 --> 00:13:18.659
 going up to Jerusalem

00:13:18.659 --> 00:13:19.959
 and when he drew near

00:13:19.959 --> 00:13:21.599
 to Bethphage and Bethany

00:13:21.599 --> 00:13:22.839
 at the mount

00:13:22.839 --> 00:13:23.959
 that is called Olivet

00:13:23.959 --> 00:13:25.439
 he sent two of his

00:13:25.439 --> 00:13:26.519
 disciples saying

00:13:26.519 --> 00:13:28.259
 go into the village

00:13:28.259 --> 00:13:29.000
 in front of you

00:13:29.000 --> 00:13:30.399
 where on entering

00:13:30.399 --> 00:13:31.079
 you will find

00:13:31.079 --> 00:13:31.879
 a colt tied

00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:33.379
 on which no one

00:13:33.379 --> 00:13:34.379
 has ever yet sat.

00:13:35.419 --> 00:13:36.099
 Untie it

00:13:36.099 --> 00:13:36.939
 and bring it here.

00:13:37.979 --> 00:13:38.939
 If anyone asks you

00:13:38.939 --> 00:13:39.459
 why are you

00:13:39.459 --> 00:13:40.199
 untying it

00:13:40.199 --> 00:13:41.299
 you shall say this

00:13:41.299 --> 00:13:42.399
 the Lord has need of it.

00:13:42.399 --> 00:13:44.579
 So those who were sent

00:13:44.579 --> 00:13:45.120
 went away

00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:45.740
 and found it

00:13:45.740 --> 00:13:46.819
 just as he had told them

00:13:46.819 --> 00:13:48.259
 and as they were

00:13:48.259 --> 00:13:49.159
 untying the colt

00:13:49.159 --> 00:13:50.100
 its owners said to them

00:13:50.100 --> 00:13:50.860
 why are you

00:13:50.860 --> 00:13:51.679
 untying the colt

00:13:51.679 --> 00:13:52.340
 and they said

00:13:52.340 --> 00:13:53.720
 the Lord has

00:13:53.720 --> 00:13:55.240
 need of it.

00:13:56.299 --> 00:13:56.819
 Deliberate

00:13:56.819 --> 00:13:57.919
 is what comes

00:13:57.919 --> 00:13:58.779
 to the surface here.

00:14:00.139 --> 00:14:01.720
 There is a common notion

00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:03.299
 about Jesus

00:14:03.299 --> 00:14:03.779
 that

00:14:03.779 --> 00:14:05.720
 he was

00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:07.059
 an incredible teacher

00:14:07.059 --> 00:14:07.699
 who just

00:14:07.699 --> 00:14:08.399
 unfortunately

00:14:08.399 --> 00:14:09.779
 was crushed

00:14:09.779 --> 00:14:11.100
 beneath

00:14:11.100 --> 00:14:12.039
 the will

00:14:12.039 --> 00:14:12.759
 of history

00:14:12.759 --> 00:14:14.299
 as one writer

00:14:14.299 --> 00:14:14.860
 put it.

00:14:15.579 --> 00:14:16.179
 That he was just

00:14:16.179 --> 00:14:16.639
 kind of

00:14:16.639 --> 00:14:17.199
 he was doing

00:14:17.199 --> 00:14:18.019
 a lot of good things

00:14:18.019 --> 00:14:18.439
 he was

00:14:18.439 --> 00:14:19.919
 he was a notable man

00:14:19.919 --> 00:14:20.659
 and he just happened

00:14:20.659 --> 00:14:21.139
 to be

00:14:21.139 --> 00:14:22.199
 wrong place

00:14:22.199 --> 00:14:22.879
 wrong time

00:14:22.879 --> 00:14:23.699
 and was crushed

00:14:23.699 --> 00:14:24.519
 by the corruption

00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:25.199
 of his day.

00:14:26.480 --> 00:14:27.419
 The idea

00:14:27.419 --> 00:14:28.259
 it intends

00:14:28.259 --> 00:14:29.000
 to portray

00:14:29.000 --> 00:14:29.679
 the Lord

00:14:29.679 --> 00:14:30.799
 as a good man

00:14:30.799 --> 00:14:32.740
 caught in circumstances

00:14:32.740 --> 00:14:33.360
 that were

00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:34.500
 out of his control

00:14:34.500 --> 00:14:35.839
 those circumstances

00:14:35.839 --> 00:14:37.079
 being Roman oppression

00:14:37.079 --> 00:14:37.980
 in Palestine

00:14:37.980 --> 00:14:38.879
 of the day

00:14:38.879 --> 00:14:40.519
 those circumstances

00:14:40.519 --> 00:14:41.480
 being a corrupt

00:14:41.480 --> 00:14:43.100
 spiritual government

00:14:43.100 --> 00:14:43.500
 among

00:14:43.500 --> 00:14:44.980
 the Jewish people

00:14:44.980 --> 00:14:46.060
 who of course

00:14:46.060 --> 00:14:46.379
 were

00:14:46.379 --> 00:14:47.740
 his enemies

00:14:47.740 --> 00:14:48.560
 in these moments

00:14:48.560 --> 00:14:49.240
 and we understand

00:14:49.240 --> 00:14:50.080
 how all of that went.

00:14:51.519 --> 00:14:52.779
 The Bible however

00:14:52.779 --> 00:14:54.019
 repeatedly asserts

00:14:54.019 --> 00:14:54.980
 the opposite of that.

00:14:56.139 --> 00:14:57.519
 At no point

00:14:57.519 --> 00:14:58.480
 was Jesus

00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:00.379
 ever in anything

00:15:00.379 --> 00:15:01.800
 but total control

00:15:01.800 --> 00:15:02.720
 of what was happening

00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:03.120
 to

00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:04.600
 and around him.

00:15:05.820 --> 00:15:06.700
 He knew

00:15:06.700 --> 00:15:07.700
 from the very beginning

00:15:07.700 --> 00:15:08.940
 what his purpose was.

00:15:08.940 --> 00:15:09.560
 it was to

00:15:09.560 --> 00:15:11.120
 die for our sins

00:15:11.120 --> 00:15:12.220
 to raise from the dead.

00:15:12.300 --> 00:15:13.220
 He repeatedly

00:15:13.220 --> 00:15:14.200
 revealed this

00:15:14.200 --> 00:15:15.160
 to his disciples

00:15:15.160 --> 00:15:17.060
 even telling them

00:15:17.060 --> 00:15:18.240
 exactly how it would

00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:18.760
 unfold

00:15:18.760 --> 00:15:19.980
 and how it would

00:15:19.980 --> 00:15:20.980
 take place.

00:15:21.880 --> 00:15:22.820
 And at this point

00:15:22.820 --> 00:15:23.760
 in Luke's gospel

00:15:23.760 --> 00:15:25.040
 if you were to trace

00:15:25.040 --> 00:15:26.240
 the chapters leading up

00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:26.820
 you would find

00:15:26.820 --> 00:15:27.720
 that what Jesus

00:15:27.720 --> 00:15:28.220
 is doing

00:15:28.220 --> 00:15:29.020
 is he's making

00:15:29.020 --> 00:15:30.740
 a very direct

00:15:30.740 --> 00:15:32.060
 purposeful

00:15:32.060 --> 00:15:32.840
 deliberate

00:15:32.840 --> 00:15:34.580
 intentional move

00:15:34.580 --> 00:15:36.240
 towards Jerusalem

00:15:36.240 --> 00:15:37.680
 acknowledging

00:15:37.680 --> 00:15:38.580
 that this will be

00:15:38.580 --> 00:15:39.840
 his last move

00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:41.740
 toward Jerusalem.

00:15:42.299 --> 00:15:43.080
 That what awaits

00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:43.639
 him there

00:15:43.639 --> 00:15:45.139
 is betrayal

00:15:45.139 --> 00:15:47.120
 he will be turned

00:15:47.120 --> 00:15:48.080
 over to the Roman

00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:48.620
 authorities

00:15:48.620 --> 00:15:50.379
 he will be crucified

00:15:50.379 --> 00:15:51.519
 and then subsequently

00:15:51.519 --> 00:15:53.460
 rise from the dead.

00:15:54.060 --> 00:15:55.340
 It's all deliberate.

00:15:56.820 --> 00:15:58.159
 He's in total control.

00:15:59.080 --> 00:16:00.639
 Even in his own trial

00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:01.340
 you'll remember

00:16:01.340 --> 00:16:02.000
 Pilate

00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:03.480
 urging him

00:16:03.480 --> 00:16:04.120
 at one point

00:16:04.120 --> 00:16:05.320
 to answer for himself.

00:16:05.320 --> 00:16:06.580
 Pilate unwilling

00:16:06.580 --> 00:16:08.260
 to crucify him

00:16:08.260 --> 00:16:08.760
 in that moment

00:16:08.760 --> 00:16:09.860
 says don't you realize

00:16:09.860 --> 00:16:11.500
 that I have the power

00:16:11.500 --> 00:16:12.940
 to free you.

00:16:13.580 --> 00:16:14.100
 You'll remember

00:16:14.100 --> 00:16:15.300
 Jesus' response.

00:16:16.340 --> 00:16:16.820
 You would have

00:16:16.820 --> 00:16:17.920
 no power over me

00:16:17.920 --> 00:16:18.900
 were it not given you

00:16:18.900 --> 00:16:20.060
 from the Father.

00:16:20.260 --> 00:16:21.379
 He's in total control.

00:16:21.640 --> 00:16:22.800
 He knows what's happening

00:16:22.800 --> 00:16:23.620
 and he's moving

00:16:23.620 --> 00:16:24.500
 towards that

00:16:24.500 --> 00:16:25.220
 and this story

00:16:25.220 --> 00:16:25.879
 is no different.

00:16:26.500 --> 00:16:27.740
 What we see here

00:16:27.740 --> 00:16:29.420
 in the triumphal entry

00:16:29.420 --> 00:16:30.060
 in the moments

00:16:30.060 --> 00:16:30.880
 leading up to it

00:16:30.880 --> 00:16:32.860
 we see on Jesus' part

00:16:32.860 --> 00:16:35.480
 careful premeditation.

00:16:36.919 --> 00:16:37.899
 He's moving

00:16:37.899 --> 00:16:38.639
 toward Jerusalem

00:16:38.639 --> 00:16:39.300
 he's probably

00:16:39.300 --> 00:16:40.340
 two miles

00:16:40.340 --> 00:16:41.300
 outside of the city

00:16:41.300 --> 00:16:42.360
 he intentionally

00:16:42.360 --> 00:16:44.060
 pauses near the villages

00:16:44.060 --> 00:16:45.279
 of Bethphage

00:16:45.279 --> 00:16:45.980
 and Bethany

00:16:45.980 --> 00:16:46.680
 as he was

00:16:46.680 --> 00:16:48.120
 prone to visit

00:16:48.120 --> 00:16:49.159
 many times before

00:16:49.159 --> 00:16:51.000
 and he prepares

00:16:51.000 --> 00:16:51.639
 himself

00:16:51.639 --> 00:16:53.100
 for this

00:16:53.100 --> 00:16:55.180
 royal procession.

00:16:55.179 --> 00:16:57.939
 now how he knew

00:16:57.939 --> 00:16:58.939
 the donkey

00:16:58.939 --> 00:16:59.539
 would be there

00:16:59.539 --> 00:17:00.579
 and would be tied up

00:17:00.579 --> 00:17:01.259
 isn't explained

00:17:01.259 --> 00:17:02.339
 to us in the text.

00:17:02.939 --> 00:17:03.719
 Perhaps it was

00:17:03.719 --> 00:17:05.480
 his omniscience

00:17:05.480 --> 00:17:06.899
 and his divine person

00:17:06.899 --> 00:17:08.200
 and his divine nature

00:17:08.200 --> 00:17:09.700
 that was just aware

00:17:09.700 --> 00:17:10.839
 and knew what would unfold.

00:17:11.159 --> 00:17:12.159
 I think the simplest

00:17:12.159 --> 00:17:12.679
 explanation

00:17:12.679 --> 00:17:13.740
 is the best one

00:17:13.740 --> 00:17:14.339
 in this case

00:17:14.339 --> 00:17:15.099
 which is that

00:17:15.099 --> 00:17:16.019
 Jesus just planned

00:17:16.019 --> 00:17:16.740
 for this moment.

00:17:18.019 --> 00:17:18.879
 It's almost as if

00:17:18.879 --> 00:17:19.339
 he's even

00:17:19.339 --> 00:17:20.980
 made his arrangements

00:17:20.980 --> 00:17:21.740
 with the owners

00:17:21.740 --> 00:17:22.500
 of this donkey

00:17:22.500 --> 00:17:23.079
 and he's even

00:17:23.079 --> 00:17:25.339
 supplied a passcode

00:17:25.339 --> 00:17:27.579
 as if to say

00:17:27.579 --> 00:17:28.259
 hey I'm going to

00:17:28.259 --> 00:17:28.899
 send some people

00:17:28.899 --> 00:17:29.799
 your way eventually

00:17:29.799 --> 00:17:30.639
 and when you see

00:17:30.639 --> 00:17:31.259
 them untying it

00:17:31.259 --> 00:17:32.159
 ask them what they're doing

00:17:32.159 --> 00:17:33.019
 and if they say

00:17:33.019 --> 00:17:33.740
 these words

00:17:33.740 --> 00:17:34.740
 the Lord has need of it

00:17:34.740 --> 00:17:35.679
 you'll know it's from me.

00:17:36.460 --> 00:17:37.059
 I think it's just

00:17:37.059 --> 00:17:38.039
 deliberate arrangement

00:17:38.039 --> 00:17:39.579
 premeditation

00:17:39.579 --> 00:17:42.179
 he's working things out

00:17:42.179 --> 00:17:44.339
 he's doing it on purpose

00:17:44.339 --> 00:17:46.859
 but why?

00:17:48.379 --> 00:17:49.519
 Why would he arrange

00:17:49.519 --> 00:17:50.259
 such a thing?

00:17:51.759 --> 00:17:52.519
 John and

00:17:52.519 --> 00:17:54.119
 Matthew's gospels

00:17:54.119 --> 00:17:55.099
 remind us

00:17:55.099 --> 00:17:56.099
 that this was

00:17:56.099 --> 00:17:57.619
 an explicit fulfillment

00:17:57.619 --> 00:17:59.579
 of something spoken

00:17:59.579 --> 00:18:01.639
 by the prophet Zechariah.

00:18:02.819 --> 00:18:04.019
 Zechariah chapter 9

00:18:04.019 --> 00:18:04.599
 verse 9

00:18:04.599 --> 00:18:05.019
 he says

00:18:05.019 --> 00:18:06.019
 rejoice greatly

00:18:06.019 --> 00:18:07.579
 O daughter of Zion

00:18:07.579 --> 00:18:09.400
 shout aloud

00:18:09.400 --> 00:18:10.660
 O daughter of Jerusalem

00:18:10.660 --> 00:18:11.379
 behold

00:18:11.379 --> 00:18:13.819
 your king is coming to you

00:18:13.819 --> 00:18:14.879
 righteous

00:18:14.879 --> 00:18:16.319
 and having salvation

00:18:16.319 --> 00:18:16.920
 is he

00:18:16.920 --> 00:18:18.079
 humble

00:18:18.079 --> 00:18:18.859
 and mounted

00:18:18.859 --> 00:18:19.599
 on a donkey

00:18:19.599 --> 00:18:21.159
 on a colt

00:18:21.159 --> 00:18:22.000
 the foal

00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:22.619
 of a donkey

00:18:22.619 --> 00:18:26.139
 this is fulfillment

00:18:26.139 --> 00:18:27.379
 of the prophecies

00:18:27.379 --> 00:18:27.740
 Jesus

00:18:27.740 --> 00:18:29.319
 intentionally moves

00:18:29.319 --> 00:18:29.819
 towards this

00:18:29.819 --> 00:18:30.519
 he intentionally

00:18:30.519 --> 00:18:31.500
 arranges it

00:18:31.500 --> 00:18:32.639
 in order that

00:18:32.639 --> 00:18:34.099
 he might fulfill

00:18:34.099 --> 00:18:35.079
 what the prophets

00:18:35.079 --> 00:18:36.379
 had spoken

00:18:36.379 --> 00:18:37.500
 there's no coincidence

00:18:37.500 --> 00:18:38.019
 here

00:18:38.019 --> 00:18:39.980
 this is

00:18:39.980 --> 00:18:41.579
 premeditated

00:18:41.579 --> 00:18:42.439
 careful planning

00:18:42.439 --> 00:18:42.919
 on the part

00:18:42.919 --> 00:18:43.439
 of the Lord

00:18:43.440 --> 00:18:45.840
 another thing

00:18:45.840 --> 00:18:46.360
 that contributes

00:18:46.360 --> 00:18:47.140
 to this idea

00:18:47.140 --> 00:18:47.660
 is the fact

00:18:47.660 --> 00:18:47.920
 that

00:18:47.920 --> 00:18:49.340
 this is different

00:18:49.340 --> 00:18:50.660
 from how Jesus

00:18:50.660 --> 00:18:51.759
 typically operated

00:18:51.759 --> 00:18:52.460
 in Jerusalem

00:18:52.460 --> 00:18:55.180
 his attendance

00:18:55.180 --> 00:18:55.880
 at the various

00:18:55.880 --> 00:18:56.940
 festivals and feasts

00:18:56.940 --> 00:18:57.500
 was always

00:18:57.500 --> 00:18:59.680
 greatly anticipated

00:18:59.680 --> 00:19:00.620
 by the people

00:19:00.620 --> 00:19:02.059
 and if you read

00:19:02.059 --> 00:19:02.680
 through the gospels

00:19:02.680 --> 00:19:03.299
 you'll find that

00:19:03.299 --> 00:19:04.440
 this is not normal

00:19:04.440 --> 00:19:05.120
 for Jesus

00:19:05.120 --> 00:19:06.140
 Jesus often

00:19:06.140 --> 00:19:06.960
 arrived late

00:19:06.960 --> 00:19:08.160
 he often arrived

00:19:08.160 --> 00:19:09.580
 in relative secrecy

00:19:09.580 --> 00:19:10.200
 in order that

00:19:10.200 --> 00:19:11.120
 he might prevent

00:19:11.119 --> 00:19:12.919
 this very thing

00:19:12.919 --> 00:19:13.579
 from happening

00:19:13.579 --> 00:19:15.399
 we even read

00:19:15.399 --> 00:19:16.039
 of other times

00:19:16.039 --> 00:19:16.679
 in his ministry

00:19:16.679 --> 00:19:17.819
 where the crowd

00:19:17.819 --> 00:19:18.739
 so impressed

00:19:18.739 --> 00:19:19.399
 so moved

00:19:19.399 --> 00:19:20.299
 by his power

00:19:20.299 --> 00:19:21.539
 sought to make

00:19:21.539 --> 00:19:21.959
 him a king

00:19:21.959 --> 00:19:22.619
 by force

00:19:22.619 --> 00:19:23.319
 we find it

00:19:23.319 --> 00:19:24.039
 in John 6

00:19:24.039 --> 00:19:24.679
 in particular

00:19:24.679 --> 00:19:25.519
 the feeding

00:19:25.519 --> 00:19:26.519
 of the 5,000

00:19:26.519 --> 00:19:27.679
 what do the people

00:19:27.679 --> 00:19:28.079
 do?

00:19:28.239 --> 00:19:29.159
 they move

00:19:29.159 --> 00:19:29.619
 in order that

00:19:29.619 --> 00:19:30.259
 they might make

00:19:30.259 --> 00:19:30.679
 him a king

00:19:30.679 --> 00:19:31.239
 by force

00:19:31.239 --> 00:19:31.679
 and what does

00:19:31.679 --> 00:19:32.699
 Jesus repeatedly

00:19:32.699 --> 00:19:33.699
 do in those moments?

00:19:34.079 --> 00:19:34.759
 he escapes

00:19:34.759 --> 00:19:36.119
 he gets out of there

00:19:36.119 --> 00:19:37.500
 it's not time

00:19:37.500 --> 00:19:38.799
 his hour has not come

00:19:38.799 --> 00:19:41.740
 this is not normal

00:19:41.740 --> 00:19:42.259
 for Jesus

00:19:42.259 --> 00:19:43.480
 this isn't glory

00:19:43.480 --> 00:19:43.980
 seeking

00:19:43.980 --> 00:19:45.579
 in a selfish sense

00:19:45.579 --> 00:19:46.500
 in a human

00:19:46.500 --> 00:19:47.619
 sinful sense

00:19:47.619 --> 00:19:48.259
 at this point

00:19:48.259 --> 00:19:48.940
 no this is

00:19:48.940 --> 00:19:50.559
 deliberate action

00:19:50.559 --> 00:19:51.799
 on Jesus' part

00:19:51.799 --> 00:19:53.279
 held off

00:19:53.279 --> 00:19:54.559
 for this particular

00:19:54.559 --> 00:19:55.119
 moment

00:19:55.119 --> 00:19:56.299
 in order that

00:19:56.299 --> 00:19:57.500
 he might communicate

00:19:57.500 --> 00:19:59.379
 a specific thing

00:19:59.379 --> 00:20:03.019
 he was unequivocally

00:20:03.019 --> 00:20:04.579
 identifying himself

00:20:04.579 --> 00:20:05.500
 in this moment

00:20:05.500 --> 00:20:07.519
 as the Messiah

00:20:07.519 --> 00:20:08.039
 King

00:20:08.039 --> 00:20:10.139
 that's its purpose

00:20:10.139 --> 00:20:11.720
 it was deliberate

00:20:11.720 --> 00:20:13.480
 intentional

00:20:13.480 --> 00:20:15.019
 premeditated

00:20:15.019 --> 00:20:17.220
 Jesus in this act

00:20:17.220 --> 00:20:18.279
 fulfilling the scripture

00:20:18.279 --> 00:20:18.899
 says

00:20:18.899 --> 00:20:20.619
 I am him

00:20:20.619 --> 00:20:23.139
 but the scene

00:20:23.139 --> 00:20:24.019
 isn't only deliberate

00:20:24.019 --> 00:20:24.920
 we find that the scene

00:20:24.920 --> 00:20:26.000
 is also quite dramatic

00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:26.799
 isn't it?

00:20:27.879 --> 00:20:28.579
 verse 35

00:20:28.579 --> 00:20:30.480
 and they brought it

00:20:30.480 --> 00:20:31.019
 to Jesus

00:20:31.019 --> 00:20:31.839
 and throwing their

00:20:31.839 --> 00:20:32.940
 cloaks on the colt

00:20:32.940 --> 00:20:34.220
 they set Jesus

00:20:34.220 --> 00:20:34.700
 on it

00:20:34.700 --> 00:20:36.779
 and as he rode along

00:20:36.779 --> 00:20:37.460
 they spread their

00:20:37.460 --> 00:20:38.420
 cloaks on the road

00:20:38.420 --> 00:20:40.079
 and as he was

00:20:40.079 --> 00:20:40.759
 drawing near

00:20:40.759 --> 00:20:41.700
 already on the way

00:20:41.700 --> 00:20:42.480
 down the Mount

00:20:42.480 --> 00:20:43.059
 of Olives

00:20:43.059 --> 00:20:45.079
 the whole multitude

00:20:45.079 --> 00:20:45.980
 of his disciples

00:20:45.980 --> 00:20:47.140
 began to rejoice

00:20:47.140 --> 00:20:48.380
 and to praise God

00:20:48.380 --> 00:20:49.740
 with a loud voice

00:20:49.740 --> 00:20:51.620
 notice the singular

00:20:51.620 --> 00:20:52.400
 tense there

00:20:52.400 --> 00:20:54.579
 multitudes of people

00:20:54.579 --> 00:20:55.720
 multitude typically

00:20:55.720 --> 00:20:56.860
 means it's not even

00:20:56.860 --> 00:20:57.400
 worth bothering

00:20:57.400 --> 00:20:58.200
 trying to count

00:20:58.200 --> 00:20:58.940
 there's so many

00:20:58.940 --> 00:21:00.860
 multitude of people

00:21:00.860 --> 00:21:01.519
 but what are they

00:21:01.519 --> 00:21:02.680
 shouting and singing?

00:21:02.680 --> 00:21:04.380
 with one voice

00:21:04.380 --> 00:21:06.180
 with unity of voice

00:21:06.180 --> 00:21:07.720
 in unison together

00:21:07.720 --> 00:21:09.299
 an amazing moment

00:21:09.299 --> 00:21:11.259
 why are they shouting?

00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:12.279
 verse 37

00:21:12.279 --> 00:21:13.860
 for all the mighty works

00:21:13.860 --> 00:21:14.700
 that they had seen

00:21:14.700 --> 00:21:16.799
 what were they saying?

00:21:17.920 --> 00:21:19.060
 blessed is the king

00:21:19.060 --> 00:21:20.000
 who comes in the name

00:21:20.000 --> 00:21:20.519
 of the Lord

00:21:20.519 --> 00:21:22.600
 peace in heaven

00:21:22.600 --> 00:21:24.860
 and glory in the highest

00:21:24.860 --> 00:21:26.900
 dramatic

00:21:26.900 --> 00:21:30.360
 so word quickly spreads

00:21:30.360 --> 00:21:30.980
 that Jesus

00:21:30.980 --> 00:21:31.980
 was on his way

00:21:31.980 --> 00:21:34.500
 as he gets closer

00:21:34.500 --> 00:21:35.200
 to the city

00:21:35.200 --> 00:21:35.820
 the crowd

00:21:35.820 --> 00:21:36.900
 grows

00:21:36.900 --> 00:21:38.560
 larger and larger

00:21:38.560 --> 00:21:39.460
 but the drama

00:21:39.460 --> 00:21:41.140
 comes from what

00:21:41.140 --> 00:21:42.040
 the people did

00:21:42.040 --> 00:21:43.440
 as Jesus passed by

00:21:43.440 --> 00:21:45.100
 we're told here

00:21:45.100 --> 00:21:45.960
 that they lined

00:21:45.960 --> 00:21:46.580
 the streets

00:21:46.580 --> 00:21:47.600
 with their clothes

00:21:47.600 --> 00:21:49.019
 their cloaks

00:21:49.019 --> 00:21:49.920
 they cast them down

00:21:49.920 --> 00:21:50.300
 on the road

00:21:50.300 --> 00:21:51.360
 as if to roll out

00:21:51.360 --> 00:21:52.519
 something of a red carpet

00:21:52.519 --> 00:21:53.319
 for the Lord

00:21:53.319 --> 00:21:55.539
 but then Matthew

00:21:55.539 --> 00:21:56.900
 Mark and John

00:21:56.900 --> 00:21:57.579
 add something

00:21:57.579 --> 00:21:58.839
 that Luke does not include

00:21:58.839 --> 00:21:59.539
 which is that

00:21:59.539 --> 00:22:00.460
 they were also

00:22:00.460 --> 00:22:02.059
 laying down palm branches

00:22:02.059 --> 00:22:03.400
 which is why we

00:22:03.400 --> 00:22:04.279
 refer to this

00:22:04.279 --> 00:22:05.299
 as Palm Sunday

00:22:05.299 --> 00:22:06.779
 what is the significance

00:22:06.779 --> 00:22:07.359
 of that?

00:22:08.480 --> 00:22:09.599
 it's depicting

00:22:09.599 --> 00:22:11.519
 a royal procession

00:22:11.519 --> 00:22:12.400
 it's implying

00:22:12.400 --> 00:22:13.639
 triumph

00:22:13.639 --> 00:22:15.799
 over their enemies

00:22:15.799 --> 00:22:18.259
 those of you

00:22:18.259 --> 00:22:18.680
 who like

00:22:18.680 --> 00:22:19.839
 the Hunger Games

00:22:19.839 --> 00:22:20.420
 will remember

00:22:20.420 --> 00:22:21.299
 the Mockingjay

00:22:21.299 --> 00:22:22.639
 being an emblem

00:22:22.639 --> 00:22:24.639
 of revolution

00:22:24.639 --> 00:22:25.980
 in the fictional

00:22:25.980 --> 00:22:27.680
 country of Panem

00:22:27.680 --> 00:22:30.279
 in the similar sense

00:22:30.279 --> 00:22:31.460
 the palm branch

00:22:31.460 --> 00:22:32.299
 was a symbol

00:22:32.299 --> 00:22:33.039
 it was an emblem

00:22:33.039 --> 00:22:34.159
 of salvation

00:22:34.159 --> 00:22:35.119
 and deliverance

00:22:35.119 --> 00:22:36.960
 to first century Jews

00:22:36.960 --> 00:22:37.899
 who were crushed

00:22:37.899 --> 00:22:39.440
 beneath the oppressive

00:22:39.440 --> 00:22:41.039
 rule of the Roman Empire

00:22:41.039 --> 00:22:43.000
 it dates back

00:22:43.000 --> 00:22:43.579
 to the second

00:22:43.579 --> 00:22:44.579
 Maccabean revolt

00:22:44.579 --> 00:22:45.779
 just two centuries

00:22:45.779 --> 00:22:46.680
 before the time

00:22:46.680 --> 00:22:47.099
 of Jesus

00:22:47.099 --> 00:22:48.339
 they began to print

00:22:48.339 --> 00:22:49.319
 them even on coins

00:22:49.319 --> 00:22:50.079
 these palm branches

00:22:50.079 --> 00:22:50.859
 it was a symbol

00:22:50.859 --> 00:22:51.779
 it was an emblem

00:22:51.779 --> 00:22:52.679
 of revolution

00:22:52.679 --> 00:22:53.599
 against Rome

00:22:53.599 --> 00:22:54.319
 an emblem

00:22:54.319 --> 00:22:55.159
 of salvation

00:22:55.159 --> 00:22:55.859
 from God

00:22:55.859 --> 00:22:56.979
 against their enemies

00:22:56.979 --> 00:22:58.819
 and as Jesus

00:22:58.819 --> 00:23:00.219
 rides into the city

00:23:00.219 --> 00:23:00.740
 from the Mount

00:23:00.740 --> 00:23:01.219
 of Olives

00:23:01.219 --> 00:23:02.539
 they roll out

00:23:02.539 --> 00:23:03.339
 the red carpet

00:23:03.339 --> 00:23:04.019
 so to speak

00:23:04.019 --> 00:23:04.959
 they throw down

00:23:04.959 --> 00:23:05.819
 the palm branches

00:23:05.819 --> 00:23:06.339
 why?

00:23:06.740 --> 00:23:07.439
 they're shouting

00:23:07.439 --> 00:23:08.279
 for salvation

00:23:08.279 --> 00:23:09.579
 he has come

00:23:09.579 --> 00:23:10.299
 to deliver us

00:23:10.299 --> 00:23:10.779
 finally

00:23:10.779 --> 00:23:12.159
 from our enemies

00:23:12.159 --> 00:23:14.519
 there's also

00:23:14.519 --> 00:23:14.979
 drama

00:23:14.979 --> 00:23:16.059
 in what they said

00:23:16.059 --> 00:23:18.599
 quoting Psalm 118

00:23:18.599 --> 00:23:20.299
 which was common

00:23:20.299 --> 00:23:21.079
 at this festival

00:23:21.079 --> 00:23:21.839
 in particular

00:23:21.839 --> 00:23:23.759
 the people shouted

00:23:23.759 --> 00:23:24.799
 praises to God

00:23:24.799 --> 00:23:25.579
 declaring that

00:23:25.579 --> 00:23:25.980
 Jesus

00:23:25.980 --> 00:23:28.099
 was the promised one

00:23:28.099 --> 00:23:29.059
 sent from God

00:23:29.059 --> 00:23:30.299
 to bring them peace

00:23:30.299 --> 00:23:32.379
 Hosanna

00:23:32.379 --> 00:23:33.139
 they shouted

00:23:33.139 --> 00:23:34.519
 which just means

00:23:34.519 --> 00:23:36.099
 save us Lord

00:23:36.099 --> 00:23:38.679
 blessed is your king

00:23:38.679 --> 00:23:40.299
 who has come

00:23:40.299 --> 00:23:42.519
 what is this?

00:23:42.519 --> 00:23:45.720
 the people

00:23:45.720 --> 00:23:46.920
 believing Jesus

00:23:46.920 --> 00:23:48.019
 to be that king

00:23:48.019 --> 00:23:49.099
 greeted him

00:23:49.099 --> 00:23:49.980
 with emblems

00:23:49.980 --> 00:23:51.160
 of deliverance

00:23:51.160 --> 00:23:52.359
 and shouts

00:23:52.359 --> 00:23:53.279
 of triumph

00:23:53.279 --> 00:23:55.779
 for God's salvation

00:23:55.779 --> 00:23:58.579
 and indeed

00:23:58.579 --> 00:23:59.299
 they had the right

00:23:59.299 --> 00:23:59.799
 person

00:23:59.799 --> 00:24:02.059
 and their concept

00:24:02.059 --> 00:24:03.440
 of what this person

00:24:03.440 --> 00:24:04.099
 would do

00:24:04.099 --> 00:24:05.660
 was not far off

00:24:05.660 --> 00:24:08.539
 but their expectations

00:24:08.539 --> 00:24:09.599
 of how he would

00:24:09.599 --> 00:24:10.700
 fulfill his mission

00:24:10.700 --> 00:24:13.400
 were completely wrong

00:24:13.400 --> 00:24:17.080
 by week's end

00:24:17.080 --> 00:24:19.240
 some of the people

00:24:19.240 --> 00:24:19.980
 in this crowd

00:24:19.980 --> 00:24:21.539
 will turn against him

00:24:21.539 --> 00:24:23.440
 turning their shouts

00:24:23.440 --> 00:24:24.059
 of Hosanna

00:24:24.059 --> 00:24:24.880
 into shouts

00:24:24.880 --> 00:24:25.680
 of crucify

00:24:25.680 --> 00:24:29.200
 others will simply

00:24:29.200 --> 00:24:30.880
 be crushed

00:24:30.880 --> 00:24:31.920
 under the discouragement

00:24:31.920 --> 00:24:32.880
 of another Messiah

00:24:32.880 --> 00:24:33.720
 who has failed

00:24:33.720 --> 00:24:34.819
 to do what they hoped

00:24:34.819 --> 00:24:35.319
 he would do

00:24:35.319 --> 00:24:36.840
 and would abandon hope

00:24:36.840 --> 00:24:37.380
 and go home

00:24:37.380 --> 00:24:41.540
 such is always the case

00:24:41.540 --> 00:24:42.040
 for those

00:24:42.040 --> 00:24:43.520
 whose expectations

00:24:43.520 --> 00:24:44.200
 of Jesus

00:24:44.200 --> 00:24:45.020
 are skewed

00:24:45.020 --> 00:24:46.520
 people come to Jesus

00:24:46.520 --> 00:24:47.700
 for all kinds of reasons

00:24:47.700 --> 00:24:49.240
 they come hoping

00:24:49.240 --> 00:24:49.980
 that it will bring

00:24:49.980 --> 00:24:50.900
 some kind of prosperity

00:24:50.900 --> 00:24:51.900
 to their lives

00:24:51.900 --> 00:24:53.760
 they come hoping

00:24:53.760 --> 00:24:54.440
 that it will bring

00:24:54.440 --> 00:24:55.420
 some type of comfort

00:24:55.420 --> 00:24:56.140
 or reassurance

00:24:56.140 --> 00:24:56.960
 to their anxieties

00:24:56.960 --> 00:24:57.480
 that they feel

00:24:57.480 --> 00:24:58.780
 there's all kinds of reasons

00:24:58.780 --> 00:24:59.920
 for people to come to Jesus

00:24:59.920 --> 00:25:00.940
 but if you're not coming

00:25:00.940 --> 00:25:01.440
 to Jesus

00:25:01.440 --> 00:25:03.020
 for who he is

00:25:03.020 --> 00:25:04.440
 and for the purpose

00:25:04.440 --> 00:25:05.500
 for which he came

00:25:05.500 --> 00:25:06.220
 to fulfill

00:25:06.220 --> 00:25:07.620
 you're ultimately

00:25:07.620 --> 00:25:08.640
 going to walk away

00:25:08.640 --> 00:25:09.339
 disappointed

00:25:09.339 --> 00:25:10.960
 even angry

00:25:10.960 --> 00:25:12.680
 ready to completely

00:25:12.680 --> 00:25:13.799
 turn against him

00:25:13.799 --> 00:25:16.440
 but their misunderstanding

00:25:16.440 --> 00:25:17.019
 here

00:25:17.019 --> 00:25:18.299
 it doesn't take away

00:25:18.299 --> 00:25:19.860
 from the significance

00:25:19.860 --> 00:25:20.620
 of the moment

00:25:20.620 --> 00:25:21.980
 what they did

00:25:21.980 --> 00:25:22.680
 was right

00:25:22.680 --> 00:25:23.920
 what they did

00:25:23.920 --> 00:25:24.819
 was necessary

00:25:24.819 --> 00:25:26.339
 they just didn't realize

00:25:26.339 --> 00:25:27.420
 how right it was

00:25:27.420 --> 00:25:28.839
 and how necessary

00:25:28.839 --> 00:25:29.740
 it was

00:25:29.740 --> 00:25:31.120
 it's deliberate

00:25:31.120 --> 00:25:32.420
 it's dramatic

00:25:32.420 --> 00:25:33.920
 thirdly

00:25:33.920 --> 00:25:35.420
 it's divinely determined

00:25:35.420 --> 00:25:36.740
 the scene

00:25:36.740 --> 00:25:37.700
 is divinely determined

00:25:37.700 --> 00:25:38.420
 look at verses

00:25:38.420 --> 00:25:39.600
 39 and 40

00:25:39.600 --> 00:25:41.680
 the Pharisees

00:25:41.680 --> 00:25:42.640
 always tend to pop up

00:25:42.640 --> 00:25:43.039
 don't they

00:25:43.039 --> 00:25:44.420
 and some of them

00:25:44.420 --> 00:25:44.940
 did here

00:25:44.940 --> 00:25:46.840
 they're in every crowd

00:25:46.840 --> 00:25:47.420
 I suppose

00:25:47.420 --> 00:25:48.880
 and some of the Pharisees

00:25:48.880 --> 00:25:49.320
 said

00:25:49.320 --> 00:25:51.160
 teacher

00:25:51.160 --> 00:25:53.740
 rebuke your disciples

00:25:53.740 --> 00:25:56.560
 and he answered

00:25:56.560 --> 00:25:57.180
 I tell you

00:25:57.180 --> 00:25:58.220
 if these were silent

00:25:58.220 --> 00:25:59.800
 the very stones

00:25:59.800 --> 00:26:00.600
 would cry out

00:26:00.599 --> 00:26:04.179
 now unsurprisingly

00:26:04.179 --> 00:26:05.039
 the Pharisees

00:26:05.039 --> 00:26:05.740
 take notice

00:26:05.740 --> 00:26:06.599
 of the commotion

00:26:06.599 --> 00:26:07.219
 and they move

00:26:07.219 --> 00:26:08.159
 to rebuke the Lord

00:26:08.159 --> 00:26:10.539
 now perhaps

00:26:10.539 --> 00:26:11.139
 their concern

00:26:11.139 --> 00:26:12.039
 is simply that

00:26:12.039 --> 00:26:13.379
 this is a lot

00:26:13.379 --> 00:26:14.039
 of commotion

00:26:14.039 --> 00:26:15.779
 this is loud

00:26:15.779 --> 00:26:17.480
 these are shouts

00:26:17.480 --> 00:26:18.539
 of kingship

00:26:18.539 --> 00:26:20.419
 have they forgotten

00:26:20.419 --> 00:26:21.099
 that we are

00:26:21.099 --> 00:26:21.679
 occupied

00:26:21.679 --> 00:26:22.839
 by Rome

00:26:22.839 --> 00:26:25.480
 that there's a

00:26:25.480 --> 00:26:26.219
 proconsulate

00:26:26.219 --> 00:26:26.859
 from Rome

00:26:26.859 --> 00:26:27.659
 who is here

00:26:27.660 --> 00:26:29.860
 there is a garrison

00:26:29.860 --> 00:26:30.380
 here

00:26:30.380 --> 00:26:31.560
 perhaps their concern

00:26:31.560 --> 00:26:32.340
 is that Rome

00:26:32.340 --> 00:26:32.840
 is going to

00:26:32.840 --> 00:26:33.480
 the Romans

00:26:33.480 --> 00:26:33.920
 are going to get

00:26:33.920 --> 00:26:34.940
 their attention

00:26:34.940 --> 00:26:35.720
 is going to be sparked

00:26:35.720 --> 00:26:36.340
 they're going to come

00:26:36.340 --> 00:26:37.259
 they're going to think

00:26:37.259 --> 00:26:38.100
 that this is some sort

00:26:38.100 --> 00:26:38.740
 of insurrection

00:26:38.740 --> 00:26:39.460
 that would be good

00:26:39.460 --> 00:26:40.140
 for no one

00:26:40.140 --> 00:26:41.040
 and so perhaps

00:26:41.040 --> 00:26:41.620
 the Pharisees

00:26:41.620 --> 00:26:42.240
 are just bringing

00:26:42.240 --> 00:26:43.160
 Jesus' attention

00:26:43.160 --> 00:26:43.620
 to that

00:26:43.620 --> 00:26:45.100
 I don't know

00:26:45.100 --> 00:26:45.779
 I think maybe

00:26:45.779 --> 00:26:46.580
 there's more to it

00:26:46.580 --> 00:26:46.940
 than that

00:26:46.940 --> 00:26:50.640
 I think they

00:26:50.640 --> 00:26:51.240
 recognized

00:26:51.240 --> 00:26:52.040
 exactly what was

00:26:52.040 --> 00:26:52.420
 happening

00:26:52.420 --> 00:26:52.940
 I think they

00:26:52.940 --> 00:26:53.360
 understood

00:26:53.359 --> 00:26:56.779
 they recognized

00:26:56.779 --> 00:26:57.859
 Jesus' actions

00:26:57.859 --> 00:26:58.539
 as a deliberate

00:26:58.539 --> 00:26:59.139
 statement

00:26:59.139 --> 00:26:59.599
 of his

00:26:59.599 --> 00:27:01.079
 messianic

00:27:01.079 --> 00:27:01.659
 identity

00:27:01.659 --> 00:27:03.439
 and they

00:27:03.439 --> 00:27:03.959
 demanded

00:27:03.959 --> 00:27:04.719
 in this moment

00:27:04.719 --> 00:27:05.519
 that he set

00:27:05.519 --> 00:27:06.019
 the record

00:27:06.019 --> 00:27:06.939
 straight publicly

00:27:06.939 --> 00:27:07.619
 hey

00:27:07.619 --> 00:27:08.759
 teacher

00:27:08.759 --> 00:27:09.639
 while all these

00:27:09.639 --> 00:27:10.399
 people are around

00:27:10.399 --> 00:27:11.119
 saying that you're

00:27:11.119 --> 00:27:11.500
 Messiah

00:27:11.500 --> 00:27:12.019
 why don't you

00:27:12.019 --> 00:27:12.479
 just go ahead

00:27:12.479 --> 00:27:13.339
 and correct them

00:27:13.339 --> 00:27:14.299
 before things

00:27:14.299 --> 00:27:15.159
 get out of hand

00:27:15.159 --> 00:27:18.359
 and we must

00:27:18.359 --> 00:27:19.240
 appreciate Jesus'

00:27:19.459 --> 00:27:20.159
 answer in verse

00:27:20.159 --> 00:27:20.539
 40

00:27:20.539 --> 00:27:22.859
 rather than

00:27:22.859 --> 00:27:23.839
 quiet the crowd

00:27:23.839 --> 00:27:24.440
 or argue

00:27:24.440 --> 00:27:24.799
 with his

00:27:24.799 --> 00:27:25.519
 detractors

00:27:25.519 --> 00:27:26.799
 Jesus pointed

00:27:26.799 --> 00:27:27.619
 to the purposes

00:27:27.619 --> 00:27:28.259
 of God

00:27:28.259 --> 00:27:31.819
 it was God's

00:27:31.819 --> 00:27:32.899
 determined plan

00:27:32.899 --> 00:27:33.720
 to send his

00:27:33.720 --> 00:27:34.420
 son for the

00:27:34.420 --> 00:27:35.119
 purpose of our

00:27:35.119 --> 00:27:35.720
 salvation

00:27:35.720 --> 00:27:37.000
 and that truth

00:27:37.000 --> 00:27:37.879
 would not be

00:27:37.879 --> 00:27:38.519
 silenced

00:27:38.519 --> 00:27:39.519
 even if every

00:27:39.519 --> 00:27:40.339
 person on the

00:27:40.339 --> 00:27:41.039
 road that day

00:27:41.039 --> 00:27:41.960
 suddenly became

00:27:41.960 --> 00:27:42.319
 mute

00:27:42.319 --> 00:27:45.940
 such is God's

00:27:45.940 --> 00:27:46.619
 truth that if

00:27:46.619 --> 00:27:47.579
 every person

00:27:47.579 --> 00:27:48.740
 refused to speak

00:27:48.740 --> 00:27:48.940
 it

00:27:48.940 --> 00:27:49.740
 the rocks

00:27:49.740 --> 00:27:50.460
 themselves

00:27:50.460 --> 00:27:51.380
 would cry out

00:27:51.380 --> 00:27:51.900
 the glory

00:27:51.900 --> 00:27:52.500
 of God

00:27:52.500 --> 00:27:53.279
 and of our

00:27:53.279 --> 00:27:54.059
 Lord and Savior

00:27:54.059 --> 00:27:55.059
 Jesus Christ

00:27:55.059 --> 00:27:56.319
 it cannot be

00:27:56.319 --> 00:27:56.799
 stopped

00:27:56.799 --> 00:27:57.319
 it's

00:27:57.319 --> 00:27:57.960
 definely

00:27:57.960 --> 00:27:58.579
 determined

00:27:58.579 --> 00:28:00.120
 if we won't

00:28:00.120 --> 00:28:00.559
 do it

00:28:00.559 --> 00:28:01.980
 God will use

00:28:01.980 --> 00:28:02.740
 another portion

00:28:02.740 --> 00:28:03.120
 of his

00:28:03.120 --> 00:28:04.180
 creation

00:28:04.180 --> 00:28:04.840
 to do it

00:28:04.840 --> 00:28:06.360
 the world

00:28:06.360 --> 00:28:07.120
 can silence

00:28:07.120 --> 00:28:07.759
 God's people

00:28:07.759 --> 00:28:08.819
 it can never

00:28:08.819 --> 00:28:09.779
 silence God

00:28:09.779 --> 00:28:11.980
 the heavens

00:28:11.980 --> 00:28:12.620
 declare the

00:28:12.620 --> 00:28:13.319
 glory of God

00:28:13.319 --> 00:28:13.960
 wrote David

00:28:13.960 --> 00:28:15.319
 no power

00:28:15.319 --> 00:28:15.900
 of hell

00:28:15.900 --> 00:28:16.500
 no scheme

00:28:16.500 --> 00:28:17.000
 of man

00:28:17.000 --> 00:28:17.380
 will ever

00:28:17.380 --> 00:28:17.779
 overcome

00:28:17.779 --> 00:28:19.139
 what God

00:28:19.139 --> 00:28:20.139
 has determined

00:28:20.139 --> 00:28:20.879
 to do

00:28:20.879 --> 00:28:22.680
 the Pharisees

00:28:22.680 --> 00:28:23.460
 say teacher

00:28:23.460 --> 00:28:24.599
 do something

00:28:24.599 --> 00:28:25.500
 about this

00:28:25.500 --> 00:28:26.539
 he doesn't

00:28:26.539 --> 00:28:27.339
 argue with them

00:28:27.339 --> 00:28:28.099
 he doesn't

00:28:28.099 --> 00:28:28.799
 silence the

00:28:28.799 --> 00:28:29.240
 crowd

00:28:29.240 --> 00:28:30.440
 he just says

00:28:30.440 --> 00:28:31.259
 this is God's

00:28:31.259 --> 00:28:31.619
 doing

00:28:31.619 --> 00:28:33.480
 it's God's

00:28:33.480 --> 00:28:33.879
 doing

00:28:33.879 --> 00:28:34.920
 to quote

00:28:34.920 --> 00:28:35.660
 Psalm 118

00:28:35.660 --> 00:28:36.160
 again

00:28:36.160 --> 00:28:37.240
 it's the Lord's

00:28:37.240 --> 00:28:37.519
 doing

00:28:37.519 --> 00:28:38.539
 it's marvelous

00:28:38.539 --> 00:28:39.480
 in our eyes

00:28:39.480 --> 00:28:40.500
 even if they

00:28:40.500 --> 00:28:41.359
 stop the rocks

00:28:41.359 --> 00:28:41.940
 will cry out

00:28:41.940 --> 00:28:42.859
 you can't

00:28:42.859 --> 00:28:44.019
 stop what

00:28:44.019 --> 00:28:44.859
 God is doing

00:28:44.859 --> 00:28:45.339
 to save

00:28:45.339 --> 00:28:45.899
 his people

00:28:45.899 --> 00:28:46.979
 Jesus

00:28:46.979 --> 00:28:47.419
 says

00:28:47.419 --> 00:28:47.659
 here

00:28:47.659 --> 00:28:48.199
 amazing

00:28:48.199 --> 00:28:49.559
 that's

00:28:49.559 --> 00:28:49.740
 scene

00:28:49.740 --> 00:28:50.279
 number one

00:28:50.279 --> 00:28:50.859
 riding down

00:28:50.859 --> 00:28:51.319
 the road

00:28:51.319 --> 00:28:52.439
 we're gonna

00:28:52.439 --> 00:28:52.959
 pull the lever

00:28:52.959 --> 00:28:53.459
 now we're gonna

00:28:53.459 --> 00:28:53.779
 move to

00:28:53.779 --> 00:28:54.299
 scene number

00:28:54.299 --> 00:28:54.679
 two

00:28:54.679 --> 00:28:55.559
 we might call

00:28:55.559 --> 00:28:56.059
 this one

00:28:56.059 --> 00:28:57.259
 weeping at

00:28:57.259 --> 00:28:57.799
 the wall

00:28:57.799 --> 00:28:59.679
 weeping at

00:28:59.679 --> 00:29:00.199
 the wall

00:29:00.199 --> 00:29:01.899
 look at

00:29:01.899 --> 00:29:02.639
 verse 41

00:29:02.639 --> 00:29:04.759
 and when he

00:29:04.759 --> 00:29:05.240
 drew near

00:29:05.240 --> 00:29:05.699
 and saw

00:29:05.699 --> 00:29:06.219
 the city

00:29:06.219 --> 00:29:08.259
 he wept

00:29:08.259 --> 00:29:08.819
 over it

00:29:08.819 --> 00:29:11.159
 now I

00:29:11.159 --> 00:29:11.759
 can't imagine

00:29:11.759 --> 00:29:13.019
 that if this

00:29:13.019 --> 00:29:13.559
 was your first

00:29:13.559 --> 00:29:14.039
 time coming

00:29:14.039 --> 00:29:14.639
 to this chapter

00:29:14.639 --> 00:29:15.420
 and you

00:29:15.420 --> 00:29:15.819
 just got

00:29:15.819 --> 00:29:16.180
 through this

00:29:16.180 --> 00:29:16.759
 celebratory

00:29:16.759 --> 00:29:17.359
 event that

00:29:17.359 --> 00:29:17.940
 you would

00:29:17.940 --> 00:29:18.480
 have expected

00:29:18.480 --> 00:29:18.839
 that the

00:29:18.839 --> 00:29:19.319
 next thing

00:29:19.319 --> 00:29:19.839
 to happen

00:29:19.839 --> 00:29:20.319
 would be

00:29:20.319 --> 00:29:20.779
 Jesus

00:29:20.779 --> 00:29:21.960
 weeping

00:29:21.960 --> 00:29:22.720
 and yet

00:29:22.720 --> 00:29:23.119
 that's what

00:29:23.119 --> 00:29:23.819
 happens

00:29:23.819 --> 00:29:24.159
 indeed

00:29:24.159 --> 00:29:26.180
 it differs

00:29:26.180 --> 00:29:26.740
 greatly from

00:29:26.740 --> 00:29:27.139
 the first

00:29:27.139 --> 00:29:27.379
 scene

00:29:27.379 --> 00:29:28.319
 the setting

00:29:28.319 --> 00:29:28.940
 is essentially

00:29:28.940 --> 00:29:29.559
 the same

00:29:29.559 --> 00:29:31.019
 only Jesus

00:29:31.019 --> 00:29:31.579
 is a little

00:29:31.579 --> 00:29:32.200
 closer to

00:29:32.200 --> 00:29:32.659
 the city

00:29:32.659 --> 00:29:34.720
 perhaps as

00:29:34.720 --> 00:29:35.119
 he's come

00:29:35.119 --> 00:29:35.819
 down from

00:29:35.819 --> 00:29:36.139
 the Mount

00:29:36.139 --> 00:29:36.619
 of Olives

00:29:36.619 --> 00:29:36.920
 if you're

00:29:36.920 --> 00:29:37.420
 familiar at

00:29:37.420 --> 00:29:37.700
 all with

00:29:37.700 --> 00:29:38.240
 the geography

00:29:38.240 --> 00:29:38.839
 of that

00:29:38.839 --> 00:29:39.519
 he would

00:29:39.519 --> 00:29:39.980
 have been

00:29:39.980 --> 00:29:40.599
 viewing the

00:29:40.599 --> 00:29:41.240
 panorama

00:29:41.240 --> 00:29:42.139
 of the

00:29:42.139 --> 00:29:43.220
 east side

00:29:43.220 --> 00:29:44.000
 of the

00:29:44.000 --> 00:29:44.559
 wall of

00:29:44.559 --> 00:29:45.000
 Jerusalem

00:29:45.000 --> 00:29:47.860
 the expanse

00:29:47.860 --> 00:29:48.180
 of the

00:29:48.180 --> 00:29:48.460
 city

00:29:48.460 --> 00:29:49.779
 comes into

00:29:49.779 --> 00:29:50.299
 his view

00:29:50.299 --> 00:29:52.220
 the contrast

00:29:52.220 --> 00:29:53.160
 between this

00:29:53.160 --> 00:29:53.420
 and the

00:29:53.420 --> 00:29:53.940
 first scene

00:29:53.940 --> 00:29:54.400
 though is

00:29:54.400 --> 00:29:54.759
 that

00:29:54.759 --> 00:29:56.600
 as the

00:29:56.600 --> 00:29:56.940
 crowd

00:29:56.940 --> 00:29:57.700
 celebrates

00:29:57.700 --> 00:29:58.380
 his arrival

00:29:58.380 --> 00:29:59.019
 the Lord

00:29:59.019 --> 00:30:00.339
 laments

00:30:00.339 --> 00:30:04.240
 traveling over

00:30:04.240 --> 00:30:04.640
 the Mount

00:30:04.640 --> 00:30:05.259
 descending

00:30:05.259 --> 00:30:06.420
 toward the

00:30:06.420 --> 00:30:07.259
 eastern gate

00:30:07.259 --> 00:30:08.000
 of Jerusalem

00:30:08.000 --> 00:30:08.519
 Jesus

00:30:08.519 --> 00:30:09.700
 suddenly

00:30:09.700 --> 00:30:10.539
 burst into

00:30:10.539 --> 00:30:11.160
 tears

00:30:11.160 --> 00:30:12.160
 tears

00:30:12.160 --> 00:30:13.220
 this

00:30:13.220 --> 00:30:13.920
 is not

00:30:13.920 --> 00:30:14.259
 merely

00:30:14.259 --> 00:30:14.500
 the

00:30:14.500 --> 00:30:14.880
 swelling

00:30:14.880 --> 00:30:15.080
 of

00:30:15.080 --> 00:30:15.220
 your

00:30:15.220 --> 00:30:15.519
 eyes

00:30:15.519 --> 00:30:15.700
 when

00:30:15.700 --> 00:30:15.880
 you're

00:30:15.880 --> 00:30:16.480
 somewhat

00:30:16.480 --> 00:30:16.860
 moved

00:30:16.860 --> 00:30:17.360
 emotionally

00:30:17.360 --> 00:30:18.000
 this is

00:30:18.000 --> 00:30:18.400
 a

00:30:18.400 --> 00:30:19.340
 likely

00:30:19.340 --> 00:30:19.920
 loud

00:30:19.920 --> 00:30:20.540
 weeping

00:30:20.540 --> 00:30:21.120
 wailing

00:30:21.120 --> 00:30:21.920
 kind of

00:30:21.920 --> 00:30:22.300
 moment

00:30:22.300 --> 00:30:22.660
 for the

00:30:22.660 --> 00:30:22.900
 Lord

00:30:22.900 --> 00:30:23.400
 based on

00:30:23.400 --> 00:30:23.519
 the

00:30:23.519 --> 00:30:23.880
 language

00:30:23.880 --> 00:30:24.200
 that's

00:30:24.200 --> 00:30:24.400
 used

00:30:24.400 --> 00:30:24.680
 here

00:30:24.680 --> 00:30:27.440
 and they

00:30:27.440 --> 00:30:27.720
 weren't

00:30:27.720 --> 00:30:28.019
 tears

00:30:28.019 --> 00:30:28.640
 of joy

00:30:28.640 --> 00:30:29.460
 over his

00:30:29.460 --> 00:30:30.000
 reception

00:30:30.000 --> 00:30:30.840
 by the

00:30:30.840 --> 00:30:31.160
 people

00:30:31.160 --> 00:30:33.380
 they were

00:30:33.380 --> 00:30:33.700
 tears

00:30:33.700 --> 00:30:34.460
 of sorrow

00:30:34.460 --> 00:30:35.980
 over his

00:30:35.980 --> 00:30:36.600
 rejection

00:30:36.600 --> 00:30:37.080
 by the

00:30:37.080 --> 00:30:37.380
 people

00:30:37.380 --> 00:30:39.040
 seems

00:30:39.040 --> 00:30:39.440
 backward

00:30:39.440 --> 00:30:39.779
 doesn't

00:30:39.779 --> 00:30:40.000
 it

00:30:40.000 --> 00:30:41.960
 as the

00:30:41.960 --> 00:30:42.259
 people

00:30:42.259 --> 00:30:42.839
 shout

00:30:42.839 --> 00:30:44.140
 Jesus

00:30:44.140 --> 00:30:45.539
 weeps

00:30:45.539 --> 00:30:46.980
 but why

00:30:46.980 --> 00:30:49.019
 well the

00:30:49.019 --> 00:30:49.559
 answer is

00:30:49.559 --> 00:30:49.839
 in his

00:30:49.839 --> 00:30:50.359
 prophetic

00:30:50.359 --> 00:30:51.579
 lament

00:30:51.579 --> 00:30:52.619
 look at

00:30:52.619 --> 00:30:52.880
 verses

00:30:52.880 --> 00:30:53.640
 43 and

00:30:53.640 --> 00:30:54.200
 44

00:30:54.200 --> 00:30:56.319
 Jesus

00:30:56.319 --> 00:30:56.680
 says

00:30:56.680 --> 00:30:57.119
 the days

00:30:57.119 --> 00:30:57.559
 will come

00:30:57.559 --> 00:30:58.140
 upon you

00:30:58.140 --> 00:30:58.359
 he's

00:30:58.359 --> 00:30:58.579
 speaking

00:30:58.579 --> 00:30:59.420
 he's

00:30:59.420 --> 00:31:01.099
 anthropomorphizing

00:31:01.099 --> 00:31:01.579
 the city

00:31:01.579 --> 00:31:02.140
 of Jerusalem

00:31:02.140 --> 00:31:02.680
 here is what

00:31:02.680 --> 00:31:03.099
 he's doing

00:31:03.099 --> 00:31:03.779
 he's referring

00:31:03.779 --> 00:31:04.480
 to the city

00:31:04.480 --> 00:31:05.319
 as he looks

00:31:05.319 --> 00:31:05.859
 at the city

00:31:05.859 --> 00:31:07.059
 and he says

00:31:07.059 --> 00:31:07.500
 the days

00:31:07.500 --> 00:31:07.880
 will come

00:31:07.880 --> 00:31:08.440
 upon you

00:31:08.440 --> 00:31:08.759
 when your

00:31:08.759 --> 00:31:09.140
 enemies

00:31:09.140 --> 00:31:09.720
 will set

00:31:09.720 --> 00:31:10.039
 up a

00:31:10.039 --> 00:31:10.600
 barricade

 as

00:31:35.220 --> 00:31:35.460
 soon

00:31:35.460 --> 00:31:35.640
 as

 a

00:31:39.200 --> 00:31:39.500
 coming

00:31:39.500 --> 00:31:39.799
 day

00:31:39.799 --> 00:31:40.059
 when

00:31:40.059 --> 00:31:40.740
 Jerusalem

00:31:40.740 --> 00:31:41.580
 would

00:31:41.580 --> 00:31:41.880
 endure

00:31:41.880 --> 00:31:42.120
 a

00:31:42.120 --> 00:31:42.519
 terrible

00:31:42.519 --> 00:31:43.080
 fate

00:31:43.080 --> 00:31:43.900
 at

00:31:43.900 --> 00:31:44.160
 the

00:31:44.160 --> 00:31:44.600
 hands

00:31:44.600 --> 00:31:44.799
 of

00:31:44.799 --> 00:31:45.120
 Rome

00:31:45.120 --> 00:31:47.220
 already

00:31:47.220 --> 00:31:47.680
 cluing

00:31:47.680 --> 00:31:47.900
 us

00:31:47.900 --> 00:31:48.299
 in

00:31:48.299 --> 00:31:48.860
 on

00:31:48.860 --> 00:31:49.019
 the

 fact

00:31:49.320 --> 00:31:49.559
 that

00:31:49.559 --> 00:31:49.779
 what

 he

00:31:49.920 --> 00:31:50.400
 actually

00:31:50.400 --> 00:31:50.740
 came

00:31:50.740 --> 00:31:50.900
 to

 do

00:31:51.100 --> 00:31:51.299
 was

00:31:51.299 --> 00:31:51.539
 quite

00:31:51.539 --> 00:31:51.860
 different

00:31:51.860 --> 00:31:52.019
 than

00:31:52.019 --> 00:31:52.180
 what

00:31:52.180 --> 00:31:52.320
 any

00:31:52.320 --> 00:31:52.480
 of

00:31:52.480 --> 00:31:52.600
 them

00:31:52.600 --> 00:31:53.180
 expected

00:31:53.180 --> 00:31:53.460
 him

00:31:53.460 --> 00:31:53.740
 to

00:31:53.740 --> 00:31:54.019
 do

00:31:54.019 --> 00:31:55.920
 his

00:31:55.920 --> 00:31:56.279
 mission

00:31:56.279 --> 00:31:56.480
 was

00:31:56.480 --> 00:31:56.680
 not

00:31:56.680 --> 00:31:56.820
 at

00:31:56.820 --> 00:31:57.000
 all

00:31:57.000 --> 00:31:57.140
 what

00:31:57.140 --> 00:31:57.279
 they

00:31:57.279 --> 00:31:57.759
 wanted

00:31:57.759 --> 00:31:59.220
 which

00:31:59.220 --> 00:31:59.340
 is

00:31:59.340 --> 00:31:59.500
 why

00:31:59.500 --> 00:31:59.740
 many

00:31:59.740 --> 00:31:59.900
 of

00:31:59.900 --> 00:32:00.039
 them

00:32:00.039 --> 00:32:00.299
 would

00:32:00.299 --> 00:32:00.880
 ultimately

00:32:00.880 --> 00:32:01.140
 turn

00:32:01.140 --> 00:32:01.580
 against

00:32:01.580 --> 00:32:01.779
 him

00:32:01.779 --> 00:32:01.980
 by

00:32:01.980 --> 00:32:02.299
 weeks

00:32:05.940 --> 00:32:06.200
 just

00:32:06.200 --> 00:32:06.340
 a

00:32:06.340 --> 00:32:06.500
 few

00:32:06.500 --> 00:32:06.740
 years

00:32:06.740 --> 00:32:07.180
 later

00:32:11.100 --> 00:32:11.580
 including

00:32:11.580 --> 00:32:11.840
 the

00:32:22.360 --> 00:32:22.880
 flow

00:32:22.880 --> 00:32:23.380
 out of

00:32:23.380 --> 00:32:23.799
 concern

00:32:23.799 --> 00:32:24.059
 for

00:32:27.580 --> 00:32:27.820
 over

00:32:29.279 --> 00:32:29.960
 who

00:32:29.960 --> 00:32:30.140
 would

00:32:30.140 --> 00:32:30.680
 continue

00:32:30.680 --> 00:32:31.039
 to

00:32:31.039 --> 00:32:31.500
 reject

00:32:36.459 --> 00:32:37.879
 that's

00:32:37.879 --> 00:32:38.119
 why

 come

00:32:42.519 --> 00:32:42.659
 to

00:35:12.559 --> 00:35:13.019
 beginning

 Mark

00:35:14.319 --> 00:35:14.739
 tells

00:35:14.739 --> 00:35:14.739


00:35:14.739 --> 00:35:14.920
 us

00:35:14.920 --> 00:35:15.059
 in

00:35:15.059 --> 00:35:15.299
 Mark

00:35:17.659 --> 00:35:18.059
 Jesus

00:35:18.059 --> 00:35:18.539
 came

00:35:18.539 --> 00:35:18.799
 into

00:35:18.799 --> 00:35:19.440
 Galilee

00:35:19.440 --> 00:35:20.619
 proclaiming

00:35:20.619 --> 00:35:21.139
 the gospel

00:35:21.139 --> 00:35:21.659
 of God

00:35:21.659 --> 00:35:22.219
 saying

00:35:22.219 --> 00:35:23.379
 the time

00:35:23.379 --> 00:35:24.139
 is fulfilled

00:35:24.139 --> 00:35:25.319
 the kingdom

00:35:26.399 --> 00:35:26.879
 hand

00:35:26.879 --> 00:35:28.139
 therefore

00:35:28.139 --> 00:35:29.359
 repent

00:35:29.359 --> 00:35:30.980
 and believe

00:35:30.980 --> 00:35:31.279
 in the

00:35:31.279 --> 00:35:31.739
 gospel

00:35:31.739 --> 00:35:34.000
 what are the

00:35:34.000 --> 00:35:34.379
 things that

00:35:34.379 --> 00:35:34.759
 make for

00:35:34.759 --> 00:35:35.279
 peace

00:35:35.279 --> 00:35:36.519
 repentance

00:35:36.519 --> 00:35:37.179
 and faith

00:35:37.179 --> 00:35:38.879
 repentance

00:35:38.879 --> 00:35:39.339
 toward

00:35:39.339 --> 00:35:39.739
 God

00:35:39.739 --> 00:35:41.339
 faith

00:35:41.339 --> 00:35:42.199
 in his

00:35:42.199 --> 00:35:42.559
 son

00:35:42.559 --> 00:35:43.960
 who has

00:35:43.960 --> 00:35:44.339
 achieved

00:35:44.339 --> 00:35:44.920
 the peace

00:35:44.920 --> 00:35:45.820
 for

00:35:45.820 --> 00:35:46.240
 us

00:35:46.240 --> 00:35:48.619
 Jesus

00:35:48.619 --> 00:35:49.639
 wept

00:35:49.639 --> 00:35:50.000
 because

00:35:50.000 --> 00:35:50.519
 on the

00:35:50.519 --> 00:35:50.920
 whole

00:35:50.920 --> 00:35:52.500
 the

00:35:52.500 --> 00:35:52.840
 people

00:35:52.840 --> 00:35:53.300
 remained

00:35:53.300 --> 00:35:53.500
 in

00:35:53.500 --> 00:35:53.880
 darkness

00:35:53.880 --> 00:35:54.460
 they

00:35:54.460 --> 00:35:54.619
 were

00:35:54.619 --> 00:35:55.139
 blind

00:35:55.139 --> 00:35:55.880
 to

00:35:55.880 --> 00:35:56.059
 the

00:35:56.059 --> 00:35:56.320
 things

00:35:56.320 --> 00:35:56.500
 that

00:35:56.500 --> 00:35:56.740
 make

00:35:56.740 --> 00:35:56.940
 for

00:35:56.940 --> 00:35:57.380
 peace

00:35:57.380 --> 00:35:57.579
 they

00:35:57.579 --> 00:35:58.260
 refused

00:35:58.260 --> 00:35:58.820
 repentance

00:35:58.820 --> 00:35:59.139
 they

00:35:59.139 --> 00:36:00.019
 refused

00:36:00.019 --> 00:36:01.519
 faith

00:36:01.519 --> 00:36:02.460
 unless

00:36:02.460 --> 00:36:02.980
 it was

00:36:02.980 --> 00:36:03.960
 convenient

00:36:03.960 --> 00:36:05.099
 but a

00:36:05.099 --> 00:36:05.619
 convenient

00:36:05.619 --> 00:36:06.079
 faith

00:36:06.079 --> 00:36:06.659
 is never

00:36:06.659 --> 00:36:07.240
 a

00:36:07.240 --> 00:36:07.579
 proper

00:36:07.579 --> 00:36:07.980
 faith

00:36:07.980 --> 00:36:11.380
 the

00:36:11.380 --> 00:36:11.860
 destruction

00:36:11.860 --> 00:36:12.119
 of

00:36:12.119 --> 00:36:12.539
 Jerusalem

00:36:12.539 --> 00:36:12.860
 was

00:36:12.860 --> 00:36:13.180
 merely

00:36:13.180 --> 00:36:13.480
 an

00:36:13.480 --> 00:36:13.900
 emblem

00:36:13.900 --> 00:36:14.900
 of

00:36:14.900 --> 00:36:15.059
 their

00:36:15.059 --> 00:36:15.619
 continued

00:36:15.619 --> 00:36:16.240
 rejection

00:36:16.240 --> 00:36:17.480

00:36:18.260 --> 00:36:18.480

00:36:18.480 --> 00:36:19.039
 lostness

00:36:19.039 --> 00:36:19.420
 brought

00:36:19.420 --> 00:36:20.360
 Jesus

00:36:20.360 --> 00:36:20.960
 tremendous

00:36:20.960 --> 00:36:21.500
 grief

00:36:21.500 --> 00:36:23.240
 if in

00:36:23.240 --> 00:36:23.500
 scene

00:36:23.500 --> 00:36:24.119

00:36:24.119 --> 00:36:25.180
 Jesus

00:36:25.180 --> 00:36:25.780
 is the

00:36:25.780 --> 00:36:26.139
 humble

00:36:26.139 --> 00:36:26.700
 king

00:36:31.059 --> 00:36:31.619
 prophet

00:36:33.840 --> 00:36:34.180
 scene

00:36:34.180 --> 00:36:35.480

00:39:28.659 --> 00:39:29.079
 what God

00:39:29.079 --> 00:39:29.639
 had instructed

00:39:29.639 --> 00:39:30.039
 them to

00:39:30.039 --> 00:39:30.320
 do

00:39:30.320 --> 00:39:31.139
 you see

00:39:31.139 --> 00:39:31.279
 the

00:39:31.279 --> 00:39:31.619
 corruption

00:39:31.619 --> 00:39:32.019
 in that

00:39:32.019 --> 00:39:33.619
 the

00:39:33.619 --> 00:39:33.920
 money

00:39:33.920 --> 00:39:34.519
 changers

00:39:34.519 --> 00:39:34.920
 did a

00:39:34.920 --> 00:39:35.119
 different

00:39:35.119 --> 00:39:35.380
 thing

00:39:35.380 --> 00:39:36.480
 they provided

00:39:36.480 --> 00:39:37.400
 a service

00:39:37.400 --> 00:39:38.360
 to those

00:39:38.360 --> 00:39:38.800
 who had to

00:39:38.800 --> 00:39:39.160
 pay the

00:39:39.160 --> 00:39:40.079
 temple tax

00:39:40.079 --> 00:39:40.960
 there was a

00:39:40.960 --> 00:39:41.420
 certain kind

00:39:41.420 --> 00:39:42.019
 of currency

00:39:42.019 --> 00:39:42.740
 that had to be

00:39:42.740 --> 00:39:43.480
 used for this

00:39:43.480 --> 00:39:44.220
 and it was a

00:39:44.220 --> 00:39:45.059
 different currency

00:39:45.059 --> 00:39:45.660
 than what was

00:39:45.660 --> 00:39:46.360
 used in everyday

00:39:46.360 --> 00:39:46.940
 trading

00:39:46.940 --> 00:39:47.980
 so what the

00:39:47.980 --> 00:39:48.559
 merchants and

00:39:48.559 --> 00:39:49.180
 money changers

00:39:49.180 --> 00:39:49.599
 would do

00:39:49.599 --> 00:39:50.039
 is they would

00:39:50.039 --> 00:39:50.640
 set up their

00:39:50.640 --> 00:39:51.720
 booths so that

00:39:51.720 --> 00:39:52.420
 someone who had to

00:39:52.420 --> 00:39:53.320
 pay the temple tax

00:39:53.320 --> 00:39:54.079
 would have to come in

00:39:54.079 --> 00:39:54.820
 and they'd give

00:39:54.820 --> 00:39:55.599
 maybe some

00:39:55.599 --> 00:39:56.320
 minas or maybe

00:39:56.320 --> 00:39:56.780
 they'd give

00:39:56.780 --> 00:39:58.180
 some denarii

00:39:58.180 --> 00:39:58.840
 and in exchange

00:39:58.840 --> 00:39:59.880
 they would receive

00:39:59.880 --> 00:40:00.800
 the proper coins

00:40:00.800 --> 00:40:01.480
 that they would have

00:40:01.480 --> 00:40:02.059
 to give for the

00:40:02.059 --> 00:40:02.860
 temple tax

00:40:02.860 --> 00:40:04.180
 so what did

00:40:04.180 --> 00:40:05.380
 the money changers

00:40:05.380 --> 00:40:05.680
 do

00:40:05.680 --> 00:40:06.800
 well they charged

00:40:06.800 --> 00:40:07.680
 incredible fees

00:40:07.680 --> 00:40:08.019
 for this

00:40:08.019 --> 00:40:08.700
 because if you're

00:40:08.700 --> 00:40:09.120
 going to obey

00:40:09.120 --> 00:40:09.539
 the lord

00:40:09.539 --> 00:40:10.420
 you had no

00:40:10.420 --> 00:40:11.559
 choice but to

00:40:11.559 --> 00:40:12.440
 exchange with

00:40:12.440 --> 00:40:12.980
 them and they

00:40:12.980 --> 00:40:13.780
 set the exchange

00:40:13.780 --> 00:40:14.220
 rates

00:40:14.220 --> 00:40:15.579
 and they set

00:40:15.579 --> 00:40:16.160
 them high

00:40:16.160 --> 00:40:17.840
 abusing the

00:40:17.840 --> 00:40:18.220
 people

00:40:18.220 --> 00:40:19.079
 padding their

00:40:19.079 --> 00:40:19.559
 pockets

00:40:19.559 --> 00:40:21.660
 the leading

00:40:21.660 --> 00:40:22.280
 priests then

00:40:22.280 --> 00:40:22.579
 who were

00:40:22.579 --> 00:40:23.420
 responsible for

00:40:23.420 --> 00:40:24.120
 all of this

00:40:24.120 --> 00:40:25.680
 allowed the

00:40:25.680 --> 00:40:26.420
 people to be

00:40:26.420 --> 00:40:27.240
 abused so that

00:40:27.240 --> 00:40:27.840
 they could line

00:40:27.840 --> 00:40:28.200
 their own

00:40:28.200 --> 00:40:28.660
 pockets

00:40:28.660 --> 00:40:30.640
 and on top of

00:40:30.640 --> 00:40:31.200
 all of that

00:40:31.200 --> 00:40:31.780
 this was all

00:40:31.780 --> 00:40:32.579
 taking place

00:40:32.579 --> 00:40:33.699
 inside the

00:40:33.699 --> 00:40:34.599
 gentile court

00:40:34.599 --> 00:40:35.380
 which was

00:40:35.380 --> 00:40:36.099
 meant to be

00:40:36.099 --> 00:40:36.779
 a place for

00:40:36.779 --> 00:40:37.779
 non-jews to

00:40:37.779 --> 00:40:39.340
 worship and to

00:40:39.340 --> 00:40:40.179
 hear the truth

00:40:40.179 --> 00:40:40.779
 of god

00:40:40.779 --> 00:40:43.219
 and jesus as he

00:40:43.219 --> 00:40:43.860
 had done on a

00:40:43.860 --> 00:40:44.920
 previous occasion

00:40:44.920 --> 00:40:45.719
 comes in

00:40:45.719 --> 00:40:46.799
 sees the

00:40:46.799 --> 00:40:47.259
 corruption

00:40:47.259 --> 00:40:48.420
 and as the

00:40:48.420 --> 00:40:49.539
 faithful priest

00:40:49.539 --> 00:40:50.940
 does what all

00:40:50.940 --> 00:40:51.380
 of the other

00:40:51.380 --> 00:40:52.139
 priesthood were

00:40:52.139 --> 00:40:52.960
 afraid to do

00:40:52.960 --> 00:40:53.719
 or unwilling to

00:40:53.719 --> 00:40:55.019
 do he drives

00:40:55.019 --> 00:40:55.440
 out the

00:40:55.440 --> 00:40:55.900
 animals

00:40:55.900 --> 00:40:57.619
 he drives out

00:40:57.619 --> 00:40:58.299
 the merchants

00:40:58.299 --> 00:40:59.619
 he turns over

00:40:59.619 --> 00:41:00.000
 the money

00:41:00.000 --> 00:41:00.500
 changing

00:41:00.500 --> 00:41:01.519
 tables

00:41:01.519 --> 00:41:02.639
 he purifies

00:41:02.639 --> 00:41:04.340
 the corruption

00:41:04.340 --> 00:41:06.800
 zealous for

00:41:06.800 --> 00:41:08.259
 true worship

00:41:08.259 --> 00:41:08.880
 the lord

00:41:08.880 --> 00:41:10.340
 drives out

00:41:10.340 --> 00:41:10.920
 those who

00:41:10.920 --> 00:41:11.340
 had

00:41:11.340 --> 00:41:12.759
 corrupted it

00:41:12.759 --> 00:41:13.820
 pronounces the

00:41:13.820 --> 00:41:14.400
 judgment of

00:41:14.400 --> 00:41:14.800
 god

00:41:14.800 --> 00:41:16.039
 on those who

00:41:16.039 --> 00:41:16.780
 commit such

00:41:16.780 --> 00:41:18.420
 profane acts

00:41:18.420 --> 00:41:20.340
 in relationship

00:41:20.340 --> 00:41:21.679
 to worship

00:41:21.679 --> 00:41:23.820
 now i'll leave it

00:41:23.820 --> 00:41:24.619
 to you to dig in

00:41:24.619 --> 00:41:25.880
 further into the

00:41:25.880 --> 00:41:26.519
 old testament

00:41:26.519 --> 00:41:27.400
 quotations here

00:41:27.400 --> 00:41:27.940
 but let me just

00:41:27.940 --> 00:41:28.539
 mention the

00:41:28.539 --> 00:41:30.139
 jeremiah quotation

00:41:30.139 --> 00:41:32.039
 it's jeremiah

00:41:32.039 --> 00:41:32.960
 chapter 7

00:41:32.960 --> 00:41:33.759
 and verse 11

00:41:33.759 --> 00:41:34.239
 if you want to

00:41:34.239 --> 00:41:34.800
 write that down

00:41:34.800 --> 00:41:35.500
 in your margins

00:41:35.500 --> 00:41:36.480
 it's the second

00:41:36.480 --> 00:41:37.039
 half of what

00:41:37.039 --> 00:41:37.940
 jesus says here

00:41:37.940 --> 00:41:39.039
 you have made it

00:41:39.039 --> 00:41:40.019
 a den of robbers

00:41:40.019 --> 00:41:42.500
 that verse in

00:41:42.500 --> 00:41:43.360
 jeremiah's

00:41:43.360 --> 00:41:44.360
 prophecy it

00:41:44.360 --> 00:41:45.380
 it comes in the

00:41:45.380 --> 00:41:46.619
 context context

00:41:46.619 --> 00:41:48.219
 of god's wrath

00:41:48.219 --> 00:41:49.159
 being poured out

00:41:49.159 --> 00:41:50.000
 against those

00:41:50.000 --> 00:41:51.019
 who went through

00:41:51.019 --> 00:41:52.039
 the rituals of

00:41:52.039 --> 00:41:52.500
 worship

00:41:52.500 --> 00:41:55.760
 but profaned

00:41:55.760 --> 00:41:56.400
 god's house

00:41:56.400 --> 00:41:57.219
 in the process

00:41:57.219 --> 00:41:59.079
 so this was no

00:41:59.079 --> 00:41:59.639
 new thing

00:41:59.639 --> 00:42:01.800
 in fact over and

00:42:01.800 --> 00:42:02.679
 over in the old

00:42:02.679 --> 00:42:03.559
 testament we find

00:42:03.559 --> 00:42:04.260
 this very thing

00:42:04.260 --> 00:42:05.420
 happening again

00:42:05.420 --> 00:42:06.099
 and again with

00:42:06.099 --> 00:42:06.739
 god's people

00:42:06.739 --> 00:42:08.280
 they do the

00:42:08.280 --> 00:42:09.360
 sacrifice they do

00:42:09.360 --> 00:42:10.039
 the letter of the

00:42:10.039 --> 00:42:10.780
 law but they do a

00:42:10.780 --> 00:42:11.800
 lot to profane that

00:42:11.800 --> 00:42:12.960
 as well over and

00:42:12.960 --> 00:42:13.900
 over god says your

00:42:13.900 --> 00:42:15.179
 lips praise me but

00:42:15.179 --> 00:42:16.099
 your heart is far

00:42:16.099 --> 00:42:16.940
 from me

00:42:16.940 --> 00:42:19.340
 jesus quotes one of

00:42:19.340 --> 00:42:20.400
 those passages here

00:42:20.400 --> 00:42:21.159
 a passage of

00:42:21.159 --> 00:42:22.539
 judgment a passage

00:42:22.539 --> 00:42:23.279
 of wrath

00:42:23.279 --> 00:42:26.460
 how foolish we are

00:42:26.460 --> 00:42:27.299
 to think that

00:42:27.299 --> 00:42:29.079
 merely associating

00:42:29.079 --> 00:42:29.839
 with the things of

00:42:29.839 --> 00:42:31.179
 god makes us safe

00:42:31.179 --> 00:42:32.339
 from god

00:42:32.339 --> 00:42:35.619
 your attendance here

00:42:35.619 --> 00:42:36.619
 today does not make

00:42:36.619 --> 00:42:38.159
 you safe from god

00:42:38.159 --> 00:42:39.679
 your participation

00:42:39.679 --> 00:42:40.519
 in whatever

00:42:40.519 --> 00:42:42.159
 christian ritual we

00:42:42.159 --> 00:42:43.179
 may put forward

00:42:43.179 --> 00:42:44.239
 the celebration of

00:42:44.239 --> 00:42:45.299
 palm sunday or

00:42:45.299 --> 00:42:47.159
 perhaps baptism or

00:42:47.159 --> 00:42:48.119
 communion or

00:42:48.119 --> 00:42:48.759
 whatever else we

00:42:48.759 --> 00:42:49.159
 may do

00:42:49.159 --> 00:42:50.139
 those things do

00:42:50.139 --> 00:42:51.099
 not make you safe

00:42:51.099 --> 00:42:51.799
 from god

00:42:51.799 --> 00:42:56.739
 just as jesus

00:42:56.739 --> 00:42:57.839
 purged the temple

00:42:57.839 --> 00:42:58.699
 of those who

00:42:58.699 --> 00:43:00.460
 profaned it so

00:43:00.460 --> 00:43:01.539
 will he one day

00:43:01.539 --> 00:43:02.839
 purge his church

00:43:02.839 --> 00:43:04.019
 and those who

00:43:04.019 --> 00:43:05.639
 only pretend to

00:43:05.639 --> 00:43:06.460
 know and believe

00:43:06.460 --> 00:43:07.599
 god will be driven

00:43:07.599 --> 00:43:08.739
 from his presence

00:43:08.739 --> 00:43:10.679
 into eternal hell

00:43:10.679 --> 00:43:14.239
 but the scene isn't

00:43:14.239 --> 00:43:15.239
 only about corruption

00:43:15.239 --> 00:43:16.639
 that's the good part

00:43:16.639 --> 00:43:18.279
 here why is jesus

00:43:18.279 --> 00:43:18.980
 cleansing the

00:43:18.980 --> 00:43:20.279
 corruption well he's

00:43:20.280 --> 00:43:21.140
 zealous for the

00:43:21.140 --> 00:43:21.920
 true worship

00:43:21.920 --> 00:43:22.420
 isn't he

00:43:22.420 --> 00:43:23.280
 but he's clearing

00:43:23.280 --> 00:43:24.080
 out the way so

00:43:24.080 --> 00:43:24.720
 that he might do

00:43:24.720 --> 00:43:25.320
 what a faithful

00:43:25.320 --> 00:43:26.120
 priest was meant

00:43:26.120 --> 00:43:26.640
 to do

00:43:26.640 --> 00:43:28.460
 teach the bible

00:43:28.460 --> 00:43:30.920
 teach the gospel

00:43:30.920 --> 00:43:33.000
 proclaim the good

00:43:33.000 --> 00:43:33.940
 news and the law

00:43:33.940 --> 00:43:34.560
 of god

00:43:34.560 --> 00:43:36.200
 to the people

00:43:36.200 --> 00:43:37.860
 and that's exactly

00:43:37.860 --> 00:43:38.580
 what he does

00:43:38.580 --> 00:43:40.360
 he teaches truth

00:43:40.360 --> 00:43:42.200
 jesus

00:43:42.200 --> 00:43:42.820
 jesus our faithful

00:43:42.820 --> 00:43:44.039
 priest proclaims

00:43:44.039 --> 00:43:44.780
 god's word

00:43:44.780 --> 00:43:46.220
 to the disdain

00:43:46.220 --> 00:43:46.840
 of his enemies

00:43:46.840 --> 00:43:47.640
 who did not

00:43:47.640 --> 00:43:48.400
 appreciate the

00:43:48.400 --> 00:43:48.880
 things that he

00:43:48.880 --> 00:43:49.240
 said

00:43:49.240 --> 00:43:51.099
 but to the

00:43:51.099 --> 00:43:51.840
 building up of

00:43:51.840 --> 00:43:52.360
 his people

00:43:52.360 --> 00:43:55.960
 such zealousness

00:43:55.960 --> 00:43:56.740
 for purity of

00:43:56.740 --> 00:43:57.480
 worship and

00:43:57.480 --> 00:43:58.840
 proclamation of

00:43:58.840 --> 00:43:59.460
 truth that ought to

00:43:59.460 --> 00:44:00.480
 be characteristic of

00:44:00.480 --> 00:44:01.740
 all those who

00:44:01.740 --> 00:44:02.420
 follow in the

00:44:02.420 --> 00:44:03.059
 footsteps of

00:44:03.059 --> 00:44:03.539
 jesus

00:44:03.539 --> 00:44:05.619
 but the spiritual

00:44:05.619 --> 00:44:06.219
 leaders of the

00:44:06.219 --> 00:44:08.320
 day only angered

00:44:08.320 --> 00:44:08.639
 them

00:44:08.639 --> 00:44:11.940
 sets the stage

00:44:11.940 --> 00:44:13.539
 for a midnight

00:44:13.539 --> 00:44:15.980
 trial murderous

00:44:15.980 --> 00:44:17.159
 execution just a

00:44:17.159 --> 00:44:17.920
 few days later

00:44:17.920 --> 00:44:20.920
 jesus came to be

00:44:20.920 --> 00:44:21.679
 what those leaders

00:44:21.679 --> 00:44:22.559
 were meant to be

00:44:22.559 --> 00:44:23.900
 and never were

00:44:23.900 --> 00:44:25.460
 never could be

00:44:25.460 --> 00:44:27.860
 he is our

00:44:27.860 --> 00:44:28.639
 faithful

00:44:28.639 --> 00:44:29.980
 priest

00:44:29.980 --> 00:44:32.639
 now after we've

00:44:32.639 --> 00:44:33.019
 looked at the

00:44:33.019 --> 00:44:33.800
 three scenes we've

00:44:33.800 --> 00:44:34.219
 gone through our

00:44:34.219 --> 00:44:35.219
 bible viewfinder what

00:44:35.219 --> 00:44:35.780
 do we see

00:44:35.780 --> 00:44:37.199
 well there's a lot

00:44:37.199 --> 00:44:37.900
 that we might see

00:44:37.900 --> 00:44:41.280
 but we see a king

00:44:41.280 --> 00:44:42.400
 unlike any the

00:44:42.400 --> 00:44:43.119
 world has ever

00:44:43.119 --> 00:44:43.440
 known

00:44:43.440 --> 00:44:45.579
 isn't that why we

00:44:45.579 --> 00:44:46.159
 would celebrate

00:44:46.159 --> 00:44:46.740
 something like

00:44:46.740 --> 00:44:47.420
 palm sunday

00:44:47.420 --> 00:44:49.199
 isn't that the

00:44:49.199 --> 00:44:50.019
 main idea here

00:44:50.019 --> 00:44:51.599
 here is our king

00:44:51.599 --> 00:44:52.199
 and he's different

00:44:52.199 --> 00:44:53.219
 than anything we've

00:44:53.219 --> 00:44:53.920
 ever expected

00:44:53.920 --> 00:44:54.900
 he's certainly

00:44:54.900 --> 00:44:55.420
 different than

00:44:55.420 --> 00:44:55.920
 anything we've

00:44:55.920 --> 00:44:56.519
 seen before

00:44:56.519 --> 00:44:59.280
 in each one of the

00:44:59.280 --> 00:44:59.960
 pictures there's

00:44:59.960 --> 00:45:00.980
 this juxtaposition

00:45:00.980 --> 00:45:01.699
 of character

00:45:01.699 --> 00:45:03.639
 that is unusual

00:45:03.639 --> 00:45:06.539
 in scene one you

00:45:06.539 --> 00:45:07.400
 have royalty

00:45:07.400 --> 00:45:09.240
 paired with

00:45:09.240 --> 00:45:09.880
 humility

00:45:09.880 --> 00:45:12.980
 in scene two

00:45:12.980 --> 00:45:16.539
 you have judgment

00:45:16.539 --> 00:45:18.199
 expressed with

00:45:18.199 --> 00:45:18.840
 compassion

00:45:18.840 --> 00:45:21.760
 and in scene three

00:45:21.760 --> 00:45:24.099
 we find authority

00:45:24.099 --> 00:45:26.179
 paired with meekness

00:45:26.179 --> 00:45:27.280
 gentleness

00:45:27.280 --> 00:45:29.960
 and what's the

00:45:29.960 --> 00:45:30.620
 point of it all

00:45:30.620 --> 00:45:33.680
 well Luke told us

00:45:33.680 --> 00:45:36.060
 it's to give us

00:45:36.060 --> 00:45:36.800
 certainty of the

00:45:36.800 --> 00:45:37.660
 fact that Jesus

00:45:37.660 --> 00:45:38.560
 of Nazareth

00:45:38.560 --> 00:45:40.300
 truly is the

00:45:40.300 --> 00:45:41.019
 Christ and the

00:45:41.019 --> 00:45:41.620
 son of God

00:45:41.620 --> 00:45:44.140
 he indeed is our

00:45:44.140 --> 00:45:45.080
 messiah king

00:45:45.080 --> 00:45:46.680
 who won our

00:45:46.680 --> 00:45:47.860
 eternal salvation

00:45:47.860 --> 00:45:48.840
 through his death

00:45:48.840 --> 00:45:49.500
 and resurrection

00:45:49.500 --> 00:45:49.699
 salvation

00:45:49.699 --> 00:45:52.579
 and if you will

00:45:52.579 --> 00:45:53.420
 only open your

00:45:53.420 --> 00:45:54.139
 eyes to the

00:45:54.139 --> 00:45:54.800
 things that make

00:45:54.800 --> 00:45:55.460
 for peace

00:45:55.460 --> 00:45:57.559
 namely repentance

00:45:57.559 --> 00:45:58.400
 towards God

00:45:58.400 --> 00:46:00.239
 and faith in the

00:46:00.239 --> 00:46:00.780
 Lord Jesus

00:46:00.780 --> 00:46:03.079
 he will save you

00:46:03.079 --> 00:46:04.920
 so then with a

00:46:04.920 --> 00:46:05.659
 true heart you

00:46:05.659 --> 00:46:06.400
 might then cry out

00:46:06.400 --> 00:46:07.139
 with the crowds

00:46:07.139 --> 00:46:09.059
 blessed is the king

00:46:09.059 --> 00:46:09.800
 who comes in the

00:46:09.800 --> 00:46:10.420
 name of the Lord

00:46:10.420 --> 00:46:12.659
 peace in heaven

00:46:12.659 --> 00:46:14.519
 glory in the

00:46:14.519 --> 00:46:14.880
 highest

00:46:14.880 --> 00:46:35.920
 peace in heaven

00:46:35.920 --> 00:46:35.920


00:46:35.920 --> 00:46:35.920


00:46:35.920 --> 00:46:35.920


00:46:35.920 --> 00:46:35.920


00:46:35.920 --> 00:46:35.920


00:46:35.920 --> 00:46:35.920


00:46:35.920 --> 00:46:35.920


00:46:35.920 --> 00:46:35.920


00:46:35.920 --> 00:46:35.920


00:46:35.920 --> 00:46:35.920


00:46:35.920 --> 00:46:35.920


00:46:35.920 --> 00:46:35.920


00:46:35.920 --> 00:46:35.920


00:46:35.920 --> 00:46:35.920


00:46:35.920 --> 00:46:35.920


00:46:35.920 --> 00:46:35.920


00:46:35.920 --> 00:46:35.920


00:46:35.920 --> 00:46:35.920


00:46:35.920 --> 00:46:35.920


00:46:35.920 --> 00:46:35.920


00:46:35.920 --> 00:46:35.920


00:46:35.920 --> 00:46:35.920


00:46:35.920 --> 00:46:35.920


00:46:35.920 --> 00:46:35.920


00:46:35.920 --> 00:46:35.920


00:46:35.920 --> 00:46:35.920


00:46:35.920 --> 00:46:35.920


00:46:35.920 --> 00:46:35.920


00:46:35.920 --> 00:46:35.920


00:46:35.920 --> 00:46:35.920


00:46:35.920 --> 00:46:35.920


00:46:35.920 --> 00:46:35.920


00:46:35.920 --> 00:46:35.920


00:46:35.920 --> 00:46:35.920


00:46:35.920 --> 00:46:35.920


00:46:35.920 --> 00:46:35.920


00:46:35.920 --> 00:46:35.920
