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

00:00:06.799 --> 00:00:10.519
! Our passion is to experience and express grace. Join us.

00:00:11.720 --> 00:00:12.400
!

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:34.520
 House and the empty tomb. What happens in between there?

00:00:34.579 --> 00:00:39.600
 It's going to give us several final views of our crucified King.

00:00:41.120 --> 00:00:47.000
 Before we read it, I want to remember just, maybe you've been here every week, maybe you haven't,

00:00:47.219 --> 00:00:52.100
 but just a few of the things we've been seeing about Jesus in this story.

00:00:52.100 --> 00:00:59.980
 How we've seen Him specifically as King, not just on Palm Sunday, although He was hailed as King on Palm Sunday,

00:01:00.899 --> 00:01:12.519
 but just in the last 24 hours of Thursday and Friday, Jesus is in control of every painful moment, isn't He?

00:01:13.599 --> 00:01:24.859
 He spoke to His betrayer ahead of time, and then He had to awaken the awestruck soldiers who'd fallen to the ground at His I Am.

00:01:24.859 --> 00:01:34.620
 When Pilate tried to question Him, He ended up questioning Pilate and having to explain to Him the nature of His unique kingdom.

00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:43.840
 When being mocked with a crown of thorns, His silence reminded us that no one takes His life from Him,

00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:47.560
 but He lays it down of His own accord.

00:01:48.859 --> 00:01:51.939
 There's a sign on the cross that reads, King of the Jews,

00:01:53.020 --> 00:01:56.780
 and He gives His life, lifted up to draw all kinds of people

00:01:56.780 --> 00:01:58.240
 to Himself.

00:01:58.239 --> 00:02:06.159
 He endures the fires of hell for His subjects to protect them, to fulfill the Scripture.

00:02:06.819 --> 00:02:13.000
 In fact, He is the King of glory, paying all of our debts so that we have nothing left to pay

00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:15.459
 or earn to be in His kingdom.

00:02:15.620 --> 00:02:16.900
 It is finished!

00:02:16.900 --> 00:02:26.159
 And then He remains in control to the very end and hands His Spirit to His Father.

00:02:27.259 --> 00:02:28.240
 Man, what a king!

00:02:31.180 --> 00:02:32.860
 But now it seems to be over.

00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:39.319
 What will become of a crucified king?

00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:46.400
 We continue reading at verse 31 of John 19.

00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:50.039
 God's Word given for our blessing.

00:02:51.900 --> 00:02:57.039
 Since it was the day of preparation, and so that the bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath,

00:02:57.180 --> 00:02:58.959
 for that Sabbath was a high day,

00:02:59.359 --> 00:03:04.379
 the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken and that they might be taken away.

00:03:04.379 --> 00:03:10.719
 So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the other who had been crucified with Him.

00:03:11.560 --> 00:03:15.560
 But when they came to Jesus and saw that He was already dead,

00:03:16.039 --> 00:03:17.759
 they did not break His legs.

00:03:18.719 --> 00:03:21.579
 But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear,

00:03:21.740 --> 00:03:24.560
 and at once there came out blood and water.

00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:26.960
 He who saw it has borne witness.

00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:30.800
 His testimony is true, and He knows that He is telling the truth,

00:03:31.460 --> 00:03:33.759
 that you also may believe.

00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:37.539
 For these things took place that the Scripture might be fulfilled.

00:03:37.979 --> 00:03:39.879
 Not one of His bones will be broken.

00:03:40.340 --> 00:03:41.819
 And again, another Scripture says,

00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:44.919
 They will look on Him whom they have pierced.

00:03:46.859 --> 00:03:51.060
 After these things, Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus,

00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:53.919
 but secretly for fear of the Jews,

00:03:54.300 --> 00:03:57.019
 asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus,

00:03:57.219 --> 00:03:58.819
 and Pilate gave Him permission.

00:03:59.519 --> 00:04:01.359
 So he came and took away His body.

00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:05.260
 Nicodemus also, who earlier had come to Jesus by night,

00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:11.060
 came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about 75 pounds in weight.

00:04:11.820 --> 00:04:15.820
 So they took the body of Jesus and bound it in linen cloths with the spices,

00:04:16.020 --> 00:04:18.259
 as is the burial custom of the Jews.

00:04:19.520 --> 00:04:21.920
 Now in the place where He was crucified, there was a garden.

00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:25.920
 And in the garden, a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid.

00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:28.879
 So because of the Jewish day of preparation,

00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:30.660
 since the tomb was close at hand,

00:04:31.319 --> 00:04:33.420
 they laid Jesus there.

00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:36.300
 This is God's Word.

00:04:36.540 --> 00:04:37.540
 Let's ask for His help.

00:04:37.540 --> 00:04:44.560
 Father, we're confident of Your help,

00:04:44.939 --> 00:04:46.879
 because You sent Your Son to us,

00:04:47.500 --> 00:04:48.819
 for us.

00:04:50.180 --> 00:04:52.100
 You've given us Your written Word,

00:04:52.180 --> 00:04:54.879
 that we might know You through knowing Him.

00:04:57.520 --> 00:04:59.860
 By Your Spirit sent to us now,

00:04:59.960 --> 00:05:01.879
 would You give us eyes to see Him,

00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:05.580
 ears to hear Your Word as You would have us to?

00:05:05.579 --> 00:05:07.560
 Oh, we need Your help for that.

00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:11.459
 Help the one who speaks and the ones who listen.

00:05:11.740 --> 00:05:12.319
 We need it.

00:05:12.819 --> 00:05:14.459
 And ask for it in Jesus' name.

00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:15.699
 Amen.

00:05:20.500 --> 00:05:22.959
 Death just seems to keep coming.

00:05:24.339 --> 00:05:27.060
 I feel like it's in charge sometimes.

00:05:29.259 --> 00:05:31.399
 That's what a 90-year-old woman

00:05:31.399 --> 00:05:34.860
 at a nearby retirement community told me this week.

00:05:35.579 --> 00:05:38.620
 She wanted to talk about her grief

00:05:38.620 --> 00:05:41.459
 that just seems to be compounding.

00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:46.659
 She's had a lot of loss in her life,

00:05:46.819 --> 00:05:49.360
 so much so that sometimes in her grief,

00:05:49.500 --> 00:05:51.620
 she laughs and chuckles as she talks

00:05:51.620 --> 00:05:53.500
 to keep from crying too much.

00:05:54.419 --> 00:05:55.680
 She's lost a husband,

00:05:57.620 --> 00:05:58.519
 multiple children,

00:05:59.579 --> 00:06:01.519
 many, many friends.

00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:03.620
 Just last week,

00:06:03.620 --> 00:06:06.620
 a friend she's had for 75 years.

00:06:07.719 --> 00:06:09.000
 Some of you aren't old enough

00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:11.399
 to have had a friend 75 years.

00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:15.879
 Death just seems to keep coming.

00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:19.879
 Too soon, we sometimes say.

00:06:21.019 --> 00:06:23.379
 Isn't it almost always too soon

00:06:23.379 --> 00:06:25.159
 when it's someone you love?

00:06:25.160 --> 00:06:28.420
 Maybe it is in charge.

00:06:30.900 --> 00:06:32.460
 Maybe you felt like that.

00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:36.320
 Maybe you get that uncomfortable feeling

00:06:36.320 --> 00:06:39.000
 in a graveyard or cemetery.

00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:41.280
 Like there's an enemy

00:06:41.280 --> 00:06:43.379
 that you can't quite see

00:06:43.379 --> 00:06:45.280
 and you don't know how to defeat.

00:06:45.500 --> 00:06:47.400
 It's surrounding you somehow.

00:06:47.399 --> 00:06:51.279
 Maybe you feel that way in hospitals

00:06:51.279 --> 00:06:53.799
 or doctor's offices

00:06:53.799 --> 00:06:56.139
 or some other place

00:06:56.139 --> 00:06:59.959
 where death has tragically struck your life

00:06:59.959 --> 00:07:01.379
 or your family.

00:07:02.579 --> 00:07:06.159
 Sometimes maybe feel alone there

00:07:06.159 --> 00:07:07.659
 or overwhelmed

00:07:07.659 --> 00:07:10.219
 or afraid.

00:07:10.220 --> 00:07:16.420
 perhaps of all of the wonderful angles

00:07:16.420 --> 00:07:17.460
 that we've gotten to see

00:07:17.460 --> 00:07:19.180
 Jesus' cross from,

00:07:19.880 --> 00:07:21.940
 the most obvious one,

00:07:22.240 --> 00:07:23.060
 what's happening,

00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:25.860
 is that Jesus dies

00:07:25.860 --> 00:07:27.560
 on the cross.

00:07:28.300 --> 00:07:30.100
 The Lord of life

00:07:30.100 --> 00:07:33.880
 encounters death.

00:07:35.340 --> 00:07:36.900
 And we need to see this.

00:07:36.900 --> 00:07:39.060
 We need to see how this battle goes

00:07:39.060 --> 00:07:40.160
 when that happens

00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:41.220
 because death

00:07:41.220 --> 00:07:43.720
 is a formidable foe for us.

00:07:43.980 --> 00:07:44.220
 Yes?

00:07:44.400 --> 00:07:46.060
 It feels like it keeps coming.

00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:48.400
 It feels like there's no way to avoid it.

00:07:50.140 --> 00:07:51.400
 And so John gives us here

00:07:51.400 --> 00:07:52.480
 as Jesus dies

00:07:52.480 --> 00:07:54.200
 several final perspectives

00:07:54.200 --> 00:07:56.420
 on this crucified king

00:07:56.420 --> 00:07:57.340
 and all of them

00:07:57.340 --> 00:07:59.879
 show us another wonderful facet

00:07:59.879 --> 00:08:00.940
 of our king.

00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:04.040
 Want us to consider his death again this morning?

00:08:05.379 --> 00:08:06.660
 We'll do it again Thursday

00:08:06.660 --> 00:08:09.200
 and again Friday, by the way.

00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:10.459
 It's that important.

00:08:10.839 --> 00:08:12.159
 And you know what it'll do in your heart

00:08:12.159 --> 00:08:13.379
 if you keep doing that this week?

00:08:13.479 --> 00:08:14.879
 It'll make you long for Easter.

00:08:15.219 --> 00:08:16.379
 Anybody excited for Easter?

00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:19.740
 It's because I got you real sad there

00:08:19.740 --> 00:08:20.420
 for a few minutes.

00:08:20.779 --> 00:08:21.879
 You wanted to breathe.

00:08:21.879 --> 00:08:24.839
 But you'll start longing.

00:08:25.699 --> 00:08:27.860
 You'll long for life.

00:08:29.759 --> 00:08:32.100
 Let's get some glimpses of the crucified king.

00:08:32.240 --> 00:08:34.019
 First, eyewitness testimony.

00:08:34.980 --> 00:08:36.820
 Likely from John himself

00:08:36.820 --> 00:08:37.539
 who's writing,

00:08:37.939 --> 00:08:39.720
 oh, it's fine if it's someone else

00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:40.279
 who was there.

00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:43.840
 Jesus dies on Friday, remember,

00:08:44.159 --> 00:08:45.779
 the day before the Sabbath.

00:08:45.779 --> 00:08:47.519
 And this is a special Sabbath

00:08:47.519 --> 00:08:49.459
 because it's during the Passover feast.

00:08:49.559 --> 00:08:50.879
 So it's a big deal.

00:08:51.799 --> 00:08:53.819
 The Jews don't want bodies on the cross

00:08:53.819 --> 00:08:55.480
 on such a special day

00:08:55.480 --> 00:08:58.600
 because bodies on the cross are cursed, right?

00:08:59.319 --> 00:09:01.759
 In fact, it brings a curse on the whole land.

00:09:02.179 --> 00:09:02.559
 And so they went,

00:09:02.639 --> 00:09:03.980
 get those bodies off of there.

00:09:04.199 --> 00:09:06.000
 They want to hasten their deaths

00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:07.339
 and get them out of the way.

00:09:07.340 --> 00:09:11.180
 So the Roman soldiers break the legs

00:09:11.180 --> 00:09:13.620
 of the two thieves that are crucified

00:09:13.620 --> 00:09:16.040
 on either side of Jesus,

00:09:16.620 --> 00:09:18.220
 breaking the shin bone

00:09:18.220 --> 00:09:20.800
 so that you can no longer push up

00:09:20.800 --> 00:09:24.360
 to get air and thus you die quickly.

00:09:25.759 --> 00:09:27.320
 Archaeologists have unearthed bodies

00:09:27.320 --> 00:09:30.320
 of crucifixion victims from the first century

00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:32.639
 and seen those crushed shin bones.

00:09:34.800 --> 00:09:36.639
 But then as the witness looks on,

00:09:36.639 --> 00:09:38.559
 the soldiers come to Jesus

00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:40.519
 and they realize something different.

00:09:40.639 --> 00:09:42.000
 What's different about Jesus?

00:09:42.240 --> 00:09:44.419
 He's already dead.

00:09:46.139 --> 00:09:47.720
 Perhaps faster than the others

00:09:47.720 --> 00:09:49.799
 because of the beating that he's taken,

00:09:50.539 --> 00:09:53.179
 the torments of hell that he's endured,

00:09:53.340 --> 00:09:54.480
 that would do it.

00:09:54.679 --> 00:09:56.980
 Perhaps also because he's handed his spirit

00:09:56.980 --> 00:09:58.340
 over to his father.

00:10:00.199 --> 00:10:01.319
 Whatever the reason,

00:10:01.439 --> 00:10:03.379
 they don't break his legs.

00:10:04.720 --> 00:10:05.980
 But don't be confused.

00:10:05.980 --> 00:10:07.460
 These executioners,

00:10:07.560 --> 00:10:09.440
 this special group of Roman soldiers

00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:10.700
 doing the crucifixion,

00:10:10.899 --> 00:10:12.399
 these are death experts.

00:10:12.960 --> 00:10:13.180
 Okay?

00:10:13.820 --> 00:10:15.019
 That's their line of work.

00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:17.700
 Leaving no doubt,

00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:20.899
 one thrusts his spear

00:10:20.899 --> 00:10:23.200
 into Jesus' side

00:10:23.200 --> 00:10:24.779
 and John looks on

00:10:24.779 --> 00:10:25.960
 as blood and water

00:10:25.960 --> 00:10:28.960
 flow out separately from his side.

00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:32.000
 There are multiple medical explanations

00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:32.559
 for this,

00:10:32.679 --> 00:10:34.279
 but all of them agree

00:10:34.279 --> 00:10:35.720
 that what's being witnessed

00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:36.919
 is a confirmation

00:10:36.919 --> 00:10:38.759
 of his death.

00:10:40.159 --> 00:10:43.379
 Jesus is really dead.

00:10:44.879 --> 00:10:47.059
 This is what the witness primarily

00:10:47.059 --> 00:10:48.740
 is telling us.

00:10:49.080 --> 00:10:50.500
 Why it's so important

00:10:50.500 --> 00:10:51.879
 that he's telling the truth,

00:10:51.940 --> 00:10:52.200
 right?

00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:55.059
 That Jesus has really encountered

00:10:55.059 --> 00:10:57.419
 and endured death.

00:10:57.419 --> 00:11:00.139
 That common human enemy,

00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:03.459
 that common human experience,

00:11:03.779 --> 00:11:05.240
 he experienced

00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:06.819
 for us

00:11:06.819 --> 00:11:09.120
 in our place,

00:11:09.339 --> 00:11:11.219
 paying the wages of sin,

00:11:11.500 --> 00:11:11.779
 right?

00:11:12.039 --> 00:11:12.759
 Death.

00:11:13.199 --> 00:11:15.059
 He died.

00:11:17.939 --> 00:11:18.839
 The word

00:11:18.839 --> 00:11:22.699
 became real flesh,

00:11:23.099 --> 00:11:24.799
 real human flesh,

00:11:24.799 --> 00:11:27.120
 really lived on this earth

00:11:27.120 --> 00:11:28.339
 and really

00:11:28.339 --> 00:11:29.939
 died.

00:11:30.919 --> 00:11:31.699
 He didn't dodge

00:11:31.699 --> 00:11:32.500
 any battle.

00:11:32.779 --> 00:11:33.719
 He didn't avoid

00:11:33.719 --> 00:11:34.639
 any enemy.

00:11:34.819 --> 00:11:35.799
 He didn't shortcut

00:11:35.799 --> 00:11:37.079
 any suffering.

00:11:37.699 --> 00:11:39.139
 He didn't swoon,

00:11:39.500 --> 00:11:40.459
 as some have said,

00:11:40.559 --> 00:11:41.879
 and resuscitate

00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:43.439
 in the cool tomb.

00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:44.399
 That's a theory

00:11:44.399 --> 00:11:45.620
 that develops quickly

00:11:45.620 --> 00:11:46.959
 after Jesus' death.

00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:47.539
 You know why?

00:11:48.299 --> 00:11:49.899
 Because he's alive.

00:11:50.339 --> 00:11:51.779
 And there's so many people

00:11:51.779 --> 00:11:52.699
 who see him alive,

00:11:52.699 --> 00:11:53.699
 so many appearances

00:11:53.700 --> 00:11:55.900
 that they say,

00:11:56.020 --> 00:11:56.080
 well,

00:11:56.120 --> 00:11:57.460
 he's obviously alive.

00:11:58.220 --> 00:11:58.640
 I don't know.

00:11:58.680 --> 00:11:59.060
 Maybe

00:11:59.060 --> 00:12:00.940
 he never died.

00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:02.120
 That must have been

00:12:02.120 --> 00:12:03.160
 what happened,

00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:04.720
 some say.

00:12:06.200 --> 00:12:07.120
 No way,

00:12:07.680 --> 00:12:08.540
 the witness says.

00:12:09.680 --> 00:12:10.960
 Many saw the blood

00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:11.560
 and water,

00:12:11.920 --> 00:12:13.379
 the pierced side.

00:12:13.980 --> 00:12:15.320
 There's so many other issues

00:12:15.320 --> 00:12:17.280
 with a swoon theory,

00:12:17.620 --> 00:12:18.900
 but it is vital

00:12:18.900 --> 00:12:20.220
 for us to know

00:12:20.220 --> 00:12:21.020
 that Jesus died

00:12:21.019 --> 00:12:23.419
 and was buried.

00:12:24.299 --> 00:12:24.899
 Paul tells us

00:12:24.899 --> 00:12:25.480
 that's at the heart

00:12:25.480 --> 00:12:26.439
 of the gospel, right?

00:12:28.259 --> 00:12:29.600
 Right there in the early creed

00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:30.679
 that we professed

00:12:30.679 --> 00:12:31.620
 earlier this morning,

00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:32.399
 he was crucified,

00:12:33.340 --> 00:12:33.779
 dead,

00:12:34.059 --> 00:12:34.939
 and buried.

00:12:37.480 --> 00:12:38.579
 Now, many have seen

00:12:38.579 --> 00:12:39.579
 in the blood and water

00:12:39.579 --> 00:12:41.980
 flowing from Jesus' side

00:12:41.980 --> 00:12:43.399
 those clear signs

00:12:43.399 --> 00:12:44.279
 of life

00:12:44.279 --> 00:12:45.519
 and cleansing

00:12:45.519 --> 00:12:47.120
 and purification.

00:12:47.120 --> 00:12:48.740
 Michael and Lindsay

00:12:48.740 --> 00:12:50.419
 just sang about that

00:12:50.419 --> 00:12:51.460
 so beautifully.

00:12:51.740 --> 00:12:52.480
 Let the water

00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:53.659
 and the blood

00:12:53.659 --> 00:12:55.259
 from thy riven side

00:12:55.259 --> 00:12:56.320
 which flowed

00:12:56.320 --> 00:12:58.259
 be of sin

00:12:58.259 --> 00:12:59.659
 the double cure.

00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:00.679
 Cleanse me

00:13:00.679 --> 00:13:01.840
 from its guilt

00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:03.080
 and power.

00:13:03.240 --> 00:13:04.600
 That's the picture

00:13:04.600 --> 00:13:05.419
 as God meets

00:13:05.419 --> 00:13:06.500
 his people's needs

00:13:06.500 --> 00:13:07.240
 from the rock

00:13:07.240 --> 00:13:08.360
 that is struck,

00:13:08.820 --> 00:13:09.879
 the rock of Christ.

00:13:11.700 --> 00:13:12.860
 John doesn't elaborate

00:13:12.860 --> 00:13:14.240
 on that.

00:13:14.240 --> 00:13:15.080
 The witness

00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:16.440
 is focused

00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:17.860
 on testifying

00:13:17.860 --> 00:13:18.879
 that Jesus

00:13:18.879 --> 00:13:19.840
 is really,

00:13:20.980 --> 00:13:21.360
 truly,

00:13:22.360 --> 00:13:22.899
 certainly

00:13:22.899 --> 00:13:24.460
 dead.

00:13:27.120 --> 00:13:28.659
 But the Old Testament

00:13:28.659 --> 00:13:29.340
 background

00:13:29.340 --> 00:13:31.519
 will lend credence

00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:32.180
 to seeing

00:13:32.180 --> 00:13:33.399
 the spiritual picture

00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:34.759
 as well.

00:13:35.320 --> 00:13:35.500
 See,

00:13:35.720 --> 00:13:37.320
 these very unusual

00:13:37.320 --> 00:13:38.120
 circumstances

00:13:38.120 --> 00:13:39.279
 at the cross

00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:40.639
 directly fulfill

00:13:40.639 --> 00:13:41.500
 Scripture written

00:13:41.500 --> 00:13:42.980
 hundreds of years

00:13:42.980 --> 00:13:45.000
 before these events.

00:13:46.220 --> 00:13:46.920
 We keep

00:13:46.920 --> 00:13:47.639
 encountering

00:13:47.639 --> 00:13:48.620
 every week

00:13:48.620 --> 00:13:49.279
 it has been

00:13:49.279 --> 00:13:50.519
 another Old Testament

00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:50.960
 Scripture,

00:13:51.080 --> 00:13:51.480
 many weeks

00:13:51.480 --> 00:13:52.379
 multiple ones

00:13:52.379 --> 00:13:53.500
 being fulfilled.

00:13:53.800 --> 00:13:54.379
 This is not

00:13:54.379 --> 00:13:55.019
 a defeated

00:13:55.019 --> 00:13:56.519
 out of control

00:13:56.519 --> 00:13:57.399
 imposter

00:13:57.399 --> 00:13:58.039
 Messiah,

00:13:58.240 --> 00:13:58.460
 right?

00:13:59.259 --> 00:14:00.240
 But a God

00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:01.120
 showing us

00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:01.980
 this plan

00:14:01.980 --> 00:14:03.139
 to rescue us

00:14:03.139 --> 00:14:03.820
 at the cost

00:14:03.820 --> 00:14:04.360
 of his own

00:14:04.360 --> 00:14:04.920
 son

00:14:04.920 --> 00:14:05.399
 has been

00:14:05.399 --> 00:14:06.480
 their joint

00:14:06.480 --> 00:14:07.080
 commitment

00:14:07.080 --> 00:14:08.200
 since before

00:14:08.200 --> 00:14:09.000
 they created

00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:09.560
 the world

00:14:09.560 --> 00:14:10.060
 together.

00:14:11.740 --> 00:14:12.139
 And this

00:14:12.139 --> 00:14:13.220
 Jesus is

00:14:13.220 --> 00:14:14.879
 the long-awaited

00:14:14.879 --> 00:14:16.559
 Christ,

00:14:17.159 --> 00:14:18.100
 the promised

00:14:18.100 --> 00:14:19.600
 Messiah King,

00:14:19.899 --> 00:14:20.460
 the anointed

00:14:20.460 --> 00:14:21.039
 one.

00:14:21.199 --> 00:14:22.080
 It's Jesus.

00:14:23.699 --> 00:14:24.519
 The first

00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:25.240
 Scripture cited

00:14:25.240 --> 00:14:26.699
 is not one

00:14:26.699 --> 00:14:27.659
 of his bones

00:14:27.659 --> 00:14:29.319
 will be broken.

00:14:30.480 --> 00:14:31.679
 That may refer

00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:32.659
 to Psalm 34

00:14:32.659 --> 00:14:34.039
 where the righteous

00:14:34.039 --> 00:14:35.399
 one has no bones

00:14:35.399 --> 00:14:36.039
 broken.

00:14:36.679 --> 00:14:37.620
 That fits

00:14:37.620 --> 00:14:38.500
 certainly here,

00:14:38.659 --> 00:14:39.340
 but perhaps

00:14:39.340 --> 00:14:39.919
 even better

00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:40.799
 is the reference

00:14:40.799 --> 00:14:41.899
 to Passover.

00:14:43.139 --> 00:14:43.959
 John has made

00:14:43.959 --> 00:14:44.719
 this repeatedly,

00:14:44.879 --> 00:14:45.039
 right,

00:14:45.079 --> 00:14:45.859
 with the Lamb

00:14:45.859 --> 00:14:47.099
 of God.

00:14:47.779 --> 00:14:48.359
 All the way

00:14:48.359 --> 00:14:49.839
 back to the Exodus,

00:14:50.139 --> 00:14:51.179
 God institutes

00:14:51.179 --> 00:14:52.019
 the Passover

00:14:52.019 --> 00:14:52.879
 and talks about

00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:53.839
 the Lamb saying,

00:14:54.240 --> 00:14:55.159
 you shall not

00:14:55.159 --> 00:14:56.500
 break any

00:14:56.500 --> 00:14:57.899
 of its bones.

00:14:59.639 --> 00:15:00.179
 Here then,

00:15:00.240 --> 00:15:00.519
 I think,

00:15:00.599 --> 00:15:01.000
 is biblical

00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:02.019
 reason for us

00:15:02.019 --> 00:15:03.159
 to see

00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:04.439
 the blood

00:15:04.439 --> 00:15:05.139
 flowing from

00:15:05.139 --> 00:15:05.620
 Jesus

00:15:05.620 --> 00:15:06.939
 as bringing

00:15:06.939 --> 00:15:07.479
 life

00:15:07.479 --> 00:15:08.939
 to others.

00:15:08.940 --> 00:15:10.300
 You may

00:15:10.300 --> 00:15:10.960
 know the story.

00:15:11.060 --> 00:15:11.860
 Derek mentioned

00:15:11.860 --> 00:15:12.660
 part of it

00:15:12.660 --> 00:15:13.700
 earlier in the

00:15:13.700 --> 00:15:14.140
 service.

00:15:15.460 --> 00:15:16.000
 God has

00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:16.460
 promised

00:15:16.460 --> 00:15:17.420
 to send

00:15:17.420 --> 00:15:18.440
 the angel

00:15:18.440 --> 00:15:19.360
 of death

00:15:19.360 --> 00:15:20.040
 to kill

00:15:20.040 --> 00:15:21.160
 the firstborn

00:15:21.160 --> 00:15:22.160
 son of

00:15:22.160 --> 00:15:22.820
 every home

00:15:22.820 --> 00:15:23.320
 in Egypt.

00:15:23.780 --> 00:15:24.260
 That's a pretty

00:15:24.260 --> 00:15:25.160
 scary promise,

00:15:25.220 --> 00:15:25.460
 right?

00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:27.280
 Especially if

00:15:27.280 --> 00:15:28.260
 you're an Israelite

00:15:28.260 --> 00:15:29.700
 living in Egypt

00:15:29.700 --> 00:15:30.640
 as they did

00:15:30.640 --> 00:15:30.940
 then.

00:15:32.020 --> 00:15:33.040
 Especially if

00:15:33.040 --> 00:15:33.640
 you are a

00:15:33.640 --> 00:15:34.740
 firstborn son.

00:15:35.280 --> 00:15:35.800
 That's

00:15:35.800 --> 00:15:36.800
 scary.

00:15:36.799 --> 00:15:36.879
 scary.

00:15:38.620 --> 00:15:39.139
 But what

00:15:39.139 --> 00:15:39.439
 does God

00:15:39.439 --> 00:15:39.819
 tell his

00:15:39.819 --> 00:15:40.139
 people?

00:15:40.699 --> 00:15:41.059
 He says,

00:15:41.579 --> 00:15:41.859
 kill a

00:15:41.859 --> 00:15:42.939
 lamb and

00:15:42.939 --> 00:15:43.719
 use a

00:15:43.719 --> 00:15:44.679
 hyssop branch

00:15:44.679 --> 00:15:45.219
 to put

00:15:45.219 --> 00:15:45.959
 its blood

00:15:45.959 --> 00:15:46.639
 up on the

00:15:46.639 --> 00:15:47.419
 door frame

00:15:47.419 --> 00:15:48.099
 of the

00:15:48.099 --> 00:15:48.620
 house.

00:15:49.559 --> 00:15:49.959
 And the

00:15:49.959 --> 00:15:50.419
 angel of

00:15:50.419 --> 00:15:50.799
 death will

00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:51.399
 pass over

00:15:51.399 --> 00:15:52.039
 that house

00:15:52.039 --> 00:15:52.379
 with the

00:15:52.379 --> 00:15:53.099
 blood on

00:15:53.099 --> 00:15:53.399
 the door

00:15:53.399 --> 00:15:54.139
 frame and

00:15:54.139 --> 00:15:54.500
 let the

00:15:54.500 --> 00:15:55.399
 child live

00:15:55.399 --> 00:15:56.379
 because the

00:15:56.379 --> 00:15:56.879
 lamb has

00:15:56.879 --> 00:15:57.359
 died.

00:15:57.939 --> 00:15:58.059
 Right?

00:15:59.799 --> 00:16:00.539
 Jesus has

00:16:00.539 --> 00:16:01.139
 already sat

00:16:01.139 --> 00:16:01.519
 with his

00:16:01.519 --> 00:16:02.359
 disciples just

00:16:02.359 --> 00:16:03.240
 last night

00:16:03.240 --> 00:16:03.740
 and he's

00:16:03.740 --> 00:16:04.259
 told them

00:16:04.259 --> 00:16:05.720
 that his

00:16:05.720 --> 00:16:07.039
 blood would

00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:08.000
 be shed to

00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:08.840
 give life in

00:16:08.840 --> 00:16:09.139
 the new

00:16:09.139 --> 00:16:09.460
 covenant.

00:16:09.939 --> 00:16:10.340
 That's the

00:16:10.340 --> 00:16:11.080
 blood of the

00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:11.559
 new covenant.

00:16:12.039 --> 00:16:12.539
 And now we

00:16:12.539 --> 00:16:13.100
 see here the

00:16:13.100 --> 00:16:14.559
 picture of his

00:16:14.559 --> 00:16:15.419
 sacrifice.

00:16:15.580 --> 00:16:15.860
 What a

00:16:15.860 --> 00:16:17.000
 beautiful picture

00:16:17.000 --> 00:16:17.399
 when we think

00:16:17.399 --> 00:16:17.740
 about the

00:16:17.740 --> 00:16:18.279
 blood that has

00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:18.980
 been shed for

00:16:18.980 --> 00:16:19.299
 us.

00:16:19.799 --> 00:16:20.279
 I love the

00:16:20.279 --> 00:16:20.980
 reminder that

00:16:20.980 --> 00:16:21.740
 this is of

00:16:21.740 --> 00:16:22.600
 the finished

00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:23.879
 work of

00:16:23.879 --> 00:16:24.620
 Christ that

00:16:24.620 --> 00:16:25.200
 he really

00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:25.960
 fully

00:16:25.960 --> 00:16:26.879
 finally

00:16:26.879 --> 00:16:28.259
 saves us.

00:16:29.259 --> 00:16:30.159
 The power

00:16:30.159 --> 00:16:30.600
 of his

00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:30.960
 blood that

00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:31.179
 we were

00:16:31.179 --> 00:16:32.240
 singing about.

00:16:32.460 --> 00:16:32.840
 There's nothing

00:16:32.840 --> 00:16:33.600
 stronger than

00:16:33.600 --> 00:16:34.120
 the wonder

00:16:34.120 --> 00:16:35.000
 working power

00:16:35.000 --> 00:16:35.340
 of the

00:16:35.340 --> 00:16:35.700
 blood that

00:16:35.700 --> 00:16:35.899
 it would

00:16:35.899 --> 00:16:36.620
 make us

00:16:36.620 --> 00:16:37.139
 sons and

00:16:37.139 --> 00:16:37.740
 daughters of

00:16:37.740 --> 00:16:38.240
 God who

00:16:38.240 --> 00:16:39.159
 we otherwise

00:16:39.159 --> 00:16:39.639
 couldn't even

00:16:39.639 --> 00:16:40.180
 come into his

00:16:40.180 --> 00:16:40.560
 presence.

00:16:40.659 --> 00:16:40.940
 Can his

00:16:40.940 --> 00:16:41.480
 blood really

00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:41.980
 do that?

00:16:42.659 --> 00:16:43.200
 I'd ask you

00:16:43.200 --> 00:16:43.740
 to imagine

00:16:43.740 --> 00:16:44.320
 back to the

00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:44.860
 Passover.

00:16:45.860 --> 00:16:47.100
 What if I'm

00:16:47.100 --> 00:16:47.720
 not sure?

00:16:49.060 --> 00:16:49.659
 Pastor, what if

00:16:49.659 --> 00:16:50.720
 I don't know

00:16:50.720 --> 00:16:51.159
 all the answers

00:16:51.159 --> 00:16:51.600
 to all of my

00:16:51.600 --> 00:16:52.000
 questions?

00:16:52.159 --> 00:16:53.180
 Well, imagine

00:16:53.180 --> 00:16:54.019
 that that's the

00:16:54.019 --> 00:16:54.540
 way you were

00:16:54.540 --> 00:16:55.720
 as an Israelite

00:16:55.720 --> 00:16:56.980
 family and you

00:16:56.980 --> 00:16:57.680
 hear what Moses

00:16:57.680 --> 00:16:58.480
 tells you to do.

00:16:58.660 --> 00:16:59.580
 This is Yahweh's

00:16:59.580 --> 00:17:00.180
 command and you

00:17:00.180 --> 00:17:01.120
 think, I don't

00:17:01.120 --> 00:17:01.720
 know, I've got

00:17:01.720 --> 00:17:02.740
 some questions for

00:17:02.740 --> 00:17:03.519
 Yahweh before

00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:04.019
 tonight.

00:17:04.700 --> 00:17:05.400
 I'm not really

00:17:05.400 --> 00:17:06.039
 sure how all

00:17:06.039 --> 00:17:06.400
 this is going

00:17:06.400 --> 00:17:07.139
 to work out.

00:17:08.259 --> 00:17:08.779
 And you're

00:17:08.779 --> 00:17:09.279
 wrestling with

00:17:09.279 --> 00:17:10.160
 it, but before

00:17:10.160 --> 00:17:10.740
 you go to bed,

00:17:10.819 --> 00:17:12.480
 you do kill the

00:17:12.480 --> 00:17:13.000
 lamb and put the

00:17:13.000 --> 00:17:13.519
 blood on the

00:17:13.519 --> 00:17:14.500
 door frame.

00:17:15.900 --> 00:17:16.619
 Or imagine,

00:17:16.740 --> 00:17:16.980
 you're just

00:17:16.980 --> 00:17:18.420
 really scared.

00:17:19.700 --> 00:17:21.240
 I mean, you're

00:17:21.240 --> 00:17:21.740
 not sure how

00:17:21.740 --> 00:17:22.180
 this night's

00:17:22.180 --> 00:17:22.420
 going to go.

00:17:22.460 --> 00:17:22.920
 You can't even

00:17:22.920 --> 00:17:23.480
 sleep.

00:17:23.720 --> 00:17:24.519
 You're anxious

00:17:24.519 --> 00:17:25.639
 all night.

00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:27.099
 But before you

00:17:27.099 --> 00:17:27.740
 go to sleep, you

00:17:27.740 --> 00:17:28.639
 kill the lamb and

00:17:28.639 --> 00:17:29.799
 put the blood on

00:17:29.799 --> 00:17:31.180
 the door frame of

00:17:31.180 --> 00:17:31.920
 your house.

00:17:31.920 --> 00:17:34.240
 I want to ask

00:17:34.240 --> 00:17:34.660
 you, were the

00:17:34.660 --> 00:17:36.400
 firstborn sons in

00:17:36.400 --> 00:17:37.740
 those houses full

00:17:37.740 --> 00:17:39.000
 of fears and

00:17:39.000 --> 00:17:39.640
 questions and

00:17:39.640 --> 00:17:42.240
 anxieties, were

00:17:42.240 --> 00:17:43.019
 they alive in the

00:17:43.019 --> 00:17:43.259
 morning?

00:17:45.759 --> 00:17:46.759
 Yes, they were.

00:17:47.800 --> 00:17:48.580
 And it was not

00:17:48.580 --> 00:17:49.400
 because of their

00:17:49.400 --> 00:17:50.000
 clarity.

00:17:50.740 --> 00:17:51.779
 It was not because

00:17:51.779 --> 00:17:53.060
 of their confidence.

00:17:53.700 --> 00:17:55.000
 It was because of

00:17:55.000 --> 00:17:56.320
 the blood of the

00:17:56.320 --> 00:17:56.840
 lamb.

00:17:57.100 --> 00:17:59.380
 The power in that

00:17:59.380 --> 00:18:00.800
 blood of that

00:18:00.800 --> 00:18:01.080
 lamb.

00:18:01.079 --> 00:18:01.740
 That is actually

00:18:01.740 --> 00:18:02.460
 the good news of

00:18:02.460 --> 00:18:03.379
 Jesus, isn't it?

00:18:03.779 --> 00:18:04.759
 That while Passover

00:18:04.759 --> 00:18:05.679
 lambs are being

00:18:05.679 --> 00:18:07.240
 slaughtered inside the

00:18:07.240 --> 00:18:08.480
 city of Jerusalem, he

00:18:08.480 --> 00:18:10.099
 is the perfect Passover

00:18:10.099 --> 00:18:12.000
 lamb with no blemish or

00:18:12.000 --> 00:18:13.659
 defect, with no bones

00:18:13.659 --> 00:18:15.879
 broken, being slaughtered

00:18:15.879 --> 00:18:17.879
 outside the city, and he

00:18:17.879 --> 00:18:18.799
 cries out what?

00:18:19.079 --> 00:18:20.639
 It is finished.

00:18:22.359 --> 00:18:23.899
 As he sacrifices his

00:18:23.899 --> 00:18:24.240
 life.

00:18:24.419 --> 00:18:25.559
 No more sacrifice

00:18:25.559 --> 00:18:26.000
 needed.

00:18:26.879 --> 00:18:28.799
 He gives his life to

00:18:28.799 --> 00:18:30.539
 protect all who will

00:18:30.539 --> 00:18:32.180
 place their trust in

00:18:32.180 --> 00:18:33.659
 him from eternal

00:18:33.659 --> 00:18:34.539
 death.

00:18:34.819 --> 00:18:35.940
 You can count on it.

00:18:39.079 --> 00:18:40.279
 The second scripture

00:18:40.279 --> 00:18:42.200
 here quotes the

00:18:42.200 --> 00:18:43.220
 prophet Zechariah.

00:18:45.899 --> 00:18:47.000
 Zechariah, likewise,

00:18:47.819 --> 00:18:49.519
 tells of salvation for

00:18:49.519 --> 00:18:50.279
 God's people.

00:18:50.279 --> 00:18:52.399
 I will pour out on the

00:18:52.399 --> 00:18:53.420
 house of David and the

00:18:53.420 --> 00:18:55.059
 inhabitants of Jerusalem a

00:18:55.059 --> 00:18:56.200
 spirit of grace and

00:18:56.200 --> 00:18:58.559
 pleas for mercy, so that

00:18:58.559 --> 00:19:00.019
 when they look on me, God

00:19:00.019 --> 00:19:01.859
 says, on him whom they

00:19:01.859 --> 00:19:05.139
 have pierced, they shall

00:19:05.139 --> 00:19:06.299
 mourn for him.

00:19:06.859 --> 00:19:08.559
 As one mourns for an only

00:19:08.559 --> 00:19:10.519
 child and weep bitterly

00:19:10.519 --> 00:19:11.700
 over him as one weeps

00:19:11.700 --> 00:19:12.899
 over a firstborn.

00:19:13.059 --> 00:19:14.579
 Some common themes here,

00:19:14.639 --> 00:19:14.980
 aren't there?

00:19:14.980 --> 00:19:17.400
 On that day, the mourning

00:19:17.400 --> 00:19:18.500
 in Jerusalem will be as

00:19:18.500 --> 00:19:19.380
 great as the mourning for

00:19:19.380 --> 00:19:20.799
 Hadad-Rim, and on that

00:19:20.799 --> 00:19:22.200
 day, there shall be a

00:19:22.200 --> 00:19:23.680
 fountain opened for the

00:19:23.680 --> 00:19:25.000
 house of David and the

00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:26.259
 inhabitants of Jerusalem

00:19:26.259 --> 00:19:28.480
 to cleanse them from sin

00:19:28.480 --> 00:19:30.200
 and uncleanness.

00:19:30.360 --> 00:19:31.920
 This is a dark day, right?

00:19:32.299 --> 00:19:33.339
 Just like the one we're

00:19:33.339 --> 00:19:34.680
 reading about on Good

00:19:34.680 --> 00:19:37.120
 Friday, because they've

00:19:37.120 --> 00:19:39.900
 pierced God himself.

00:19:41.299 --> 00:19:43.740
 The word made flesh.

00:19:44.980 --> 00:19:46.099
 You know, remarkable

00:19:46.099 --> 00:19:47.240
 prophecies, right?

00:19:47.460 --> 00:19:49.420
 Because rarely is anyone

00:19:49.420 --> 00:19:51.799
 ever crucified and

00:19:51.799 --> 00:19:52.900
 pierced.

00:19:55.400 --> 00:19:57.319
 But when Jesus is

00:19:57.319 --> 00:20:00.120
 pierced on that day, a

00:20:00.120 --> 00:20:01.759
 fountain is opened to

00:20:01.759 --> 00:20:03.519
 cleanse from sin and

00:20:03.519 --> 00:20:05.279
 uncleanness, and oh, how

00:20:05.279 --> 00:20:06.720
 we need that fountain,

00:20:06.860 --> 00:20:07.259
 don't we?

00:20:07.480 --> 00:20:10.380
 For us, the fountain from

00:20:10.380 --> 00:20:11.740
 Emmanuel's veins that we

00:20:11.740 --> 00:20:13.460
 sang about to wash away

00:20:13.460 --> 00:20:15.079
 with clean water.

00:20:15.079 --> 00:20:17.740
 All our guilty stains to

00:20:17.740 --> 00:20:18.799
 cleanse us from the guilt

00:20:18.799 --> 00:20:20.660
 and power of sin.

00:20:20.960 --> 00:20:23.779
 John says, look no further

00:20:23.779 --> 00:20:25.059
 for that fountain.

00:20:26.180 --> 00:20:27.819
 Come and mourn.

00:20:28.319 --> 00:20:28.980
 It's right.

00:20:29.460 --> 00:20:31.039
 Jesus is crucified.

00:20:33.100 --> 00:20:35.640
 But as he dies, don't miss

00:20:35.640 --> 00:20:38.220
 the life that flows from

00:20:38.220 --> 00:20:38.480
 him.

00:20:38.480 --> 00:20:39.900
 The cleansing and the

00:20:39.900 --> 00:20:41.519
 forgiveness that results

00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:43.519
 from his sacrifice for

00:20:43.519 --> 00:20:45.259
 sins once for all.

00:20:45.700 --> 00:20:47.500
 The witnesses here at the

00:20:47.500 --> 00:20:48.860
 cross watching what the

00:20:48.860 --> 00:20:50.339
 law and the prophets have

00:20:50.339 --> 00:20:51.799
 foretold for centuries,

00:20:51.980 --> 00:20:52.160
 right?

00:20:52.400 --> 00:20:54.640
 Behold the Lamb of God who

00:20:54.640 --> 00:20:57.339
 takes away the sins of the

00:20:57.339 --> 00:20:57.799
 world.

00:20:58.200 --> 00:20:58.980
 He sees it.

00:21:02.980 --> 00:21:05.940
 Next we notice two men who

00:21:05.940 --> 00:21:07.980
 get involved in Jesus' burial.

00:21:09.240 --> 00:21:10.320
 Normally what would happen is

00:21:10.320 --> 00:21:11.740
 that crucifixion victims would

00:21:11.740 --> 00:21:13.420
 be left up on the cross for the

00:21:13.420 --> 00:21:14.600
 vultures to pick at.

00:21:15.740 --> 00:21:17.700
 And then eventually thrown in a

00:21:17.700 --> 00:21:19.900
 common criminal grave called

00:21:19.900 --> 00:21:20.500
 Gehenna.

00:21:23.160 --> 00:21:26.620
 But Joseph, he's a connected

00:21:26.620 --> 00:21:27.680
 man.

00:21:28.420 --> 00:21:30.360
 He gets all the way to Pilate,

00:21:30.460 --> 00:21:30.820
 doesn't he?

00:21:30.880 --> 00:21:32.779
 Somehow on this day, all the way

00:21:32.779 --> 00:21:34.160
 to Pilate and receives

00:21:34.160 --> 00:21:35.759
 permission to take the body

00:21:35.759 --> 00:21:36.819
 of Jesus.

00:21:38.500 --> 00:21:39.680
 Maybe even more remarkable

00:21:39.680 --> 00:21:41.899
 than that is that until this

00:21:41.899 --> 00:21:43.599
 day, virtually no one knew

00:21:43.599 --> 00:21:45.059
 that Joseph even followed

00:21:45.059 --> 00:21:47.720
 Jesus, even cared about this

00:21:47.720 --> 00:21:48.059
 guy.

00:21:48.599 --> 00:21:50.579
 He was a secret disciple.

00:21:50.759 --> 00:21:51.639
 Does that sound pretty cool?

00:21:52.299 --> 00:21:53.680
 Secret disciple.

00:21:55.579 --> 00:21:57.099
 Except the reason he was a

00:21:57.099 --> 00:21:58.579
 secret disciple is that he was

00:21:58.579 --> 00:22:01.599
 afraid that it would cost him

00:22:01.599 --> 00:22:03.599
 personally, perhaps professionally,

00:22:04.619 --> 00:22:05.839
 to follow Jesus.

00:22:06.359 --> 00:22:07.939
 Joseph was a member of this

00:22:07.939 --> 00:22:10.119
 Jewish ruling council that had

00:22:10.119 --> 00:22:11.599
 just condemned Jesus.

00:22:14.599 --> 00:22:16.459
 And now, all of a sudden, this

00:22:16.459 --> 00:22:19.659
 fearful, secretive, self-serving,

00:22:19.819 --> 00:22:22.599
 self-protective Joseph steps

00:22:23.379 --> 00:22:27.019
 forward to spare the precious body

00:22:27.019 --> 00:22:29.079
 of Jesus from the

00:22:29.079 --> 00:22:30.119
 vultures and

00:22:30.119 --> 00:22:30.799
 Gehenna.

00:22:32.740 --> 00:22:33.799
 We don't know

00:22:33.799 --> 00:22:36.019
 what all went on in Joseph's heart.

00:22:37.460 --> 00:22:39.059
 What we do know

00:22:39.059 --> 00:22:41.279
 is that the cross

00:22:41.279 --> 00:22:42.259
 inspires

00:22:42.259 --> 00:22:44.660
 bold discipleship

00:22:44.660 --> 00:22:46.599
 where there has been fearful

00:22:46.599 --> 00:22:47.220
 following

00:22:47.220 --> 00:22:48.579
 of Jesus.

00:22:49.440 --> 00:22:50.539
 We see the power

00:22:50.539 --> 00:22:51.599
 of the cross

00:22:51.599 --> 00:22:52.139
 to do in

00:22:52.139 --> 00:22:52.940
 his life

00:22:52.940 --> 00:22:54.039
 what nothing else

00:22:54.039 --> 00:22:54.379
 had done

00:22:54.380 --> 00:22:55.480
 to motivate Joseph

00:22:55.480 --> 00:22:56.500
 out of hiding

00:22:56.500 --> 00:22:57.940
 and into the service

00:22:57.940 --> 00:22:58.920
 of King Jesus.

00:22:59.400 --> 00:23:00.640
 And I love this part.

00:23:00.760 --> 00:23:01.640
 I mean, think about this.

00:23:01.760 --> 00:23:01.860
 Just

00:23:01.860 --> 00:23:03.880
 imagine what this could mean

00:23:03.880 --> 00:23:04.320
 for you.

00:23:04.740 --> 00:23:06.440
 That God uses here

00:23:06.440 --> 00:23:08.000
 resources

00:23:08.000 --> 00:23:09.280
 and connections

00:23:09.280 --> 00:23:10.660
 that Joseph has

00:23:10.660 --> 00:23:11.480
 in part

00:23:11.480 --> 00:23:13.100
 due to his weaknesses

00:23:13.100 --> 00:23:15.200
 and sins

00:23:15.200 --> 00:23:16.320
 and his fear

00:23:16.320 --> 00:23:17.220
 of man.

00:23:18.420 --> 00:23:19.380
 He's still influential

00:23:19.940 --> 00:23:21.040
 and has access

00:23:21.040 --> 00:23:21.560
 to power.

00:23:21.559 --> 00:23:24.059
 He's still wealthy

00:23:24.059 --> 00:23:25.339
 and has access

00:23:25.339 --> 00:23:26.799
 to a new tomb nearby

00:23:26.799 --> 00:23:29.359
 and in his abundant grace

00:23:29.359 --> 00:23:30.119
 toward Joseph

00:23:30.119 --> 00:23:31.359
 God says

00:23:31.359 --> 00:23:33.759
 I've placed you here

00:23:33.759 --> 00:23:35.599
 and I've given you

00:23:35.599 --> 00:23:37.779
 access to these things

00:23:37.779 --> 00:23:38.659
 to use

00:23:38.659 --> 00:23:40.099
 for the king.

00:23:42.319 --> 00:23:43.960
 Where has God placed you?

00:23:45.220 --> 00:23:46.259
 And what has he given you?

00:23:48.059 --> 00:23:48.819
 Would some of you

00:23:48.819 --> 00:23:50.460
 sometimes describe yourself

00:23:50.460 --> 00:23:51.700
 as a secret disciple?

00:23:53.860 --> 00:23:55.259
 Sometimes because of fear?

00:23:57.840 --> 00:23:59.039
 What relationship

00:23:59.039 --> 00:23:59.779
 might God

00:23:59.779 --> 00:24:00.539
 use

00:24:00.539 --> 00:24:01.900
 for his kingdom?

00:24:02.500 --> 00:24:03.539
 What resource

00:24:03.539 --> 00:24:04.519
 might God

00:24:04.519 --> 00:24:04.940
 ask you

00:24:04.940 --> 00:24:05.940
 to consider using

00:24:05.940 --> 00:24:07.660
 for King Jesus?

00:24:08.779 --> 00:24:09.340
 Even now

00:24:09.340 --> 00:24:10.259
 are you perhaps

00:24:10.259 --> 00:24:11.240
 in a new season

00:24:11.240 --> 00:24:11.960
 of life

00:24:11.960 --> 00:24:14.039
 where there's opportunity

00:24:14.039 --> 00:24:15.360
 where you've felt

00:24:15.360 --> 00:24:16.579
 an outsider

00:24:16.579 --> 00:24:17.340
 in rooms

00:24:17.340 --> 00:24:18.519
 like this one

00:24:18.519 --> 00:24:19.140
 for a while

00:24:19.140 --> 00:24:19.460
 maybe?

00:24:20.460 --> 00:24:21.500
 And you think

00:24:21.500 --> 00:24:22.279
 I never really

00:24:22.279 --> 00:24:23.100
 could be

00:24:23.100 --> 00:24:24.680
 central in God's work

00:24:24.680 --> 00:24:25.279
 and God says

00:24:25.279 --> 00:24:25.920
 yes you can.

00:24:26.620 --> 00:24:27.360
 That's the way

00:24:27.360 --> 00:24:27.900
 I work

00:24:27.900 --> 00:24:28.980
 with people

00:24:28.980 --> 00:24:29.840
 like you.

00:24:30.079 --> 00:24:30.740
 Where might God

00:24:30.740 --> 00:24:31.579
 call you to go

00:24:31.579 --> 00:24:32.340
 boldly

00:24:32.340 --> 00:24:33.360
 because you begin

00:24:33.360 --> 00:24:34.240
 to grasp

00:24:34.240 --> 00:24:34.960
 the value

00:24:34.960 --> 00:24:36.140
 of King Jesus.

00:24:36.420 --> 00:24:36.620
 You say

00:24:36.620 --> 00:24:37.200
 oh he's worth

00:24:37.200 --> 00:24:37.720
 the cost

00:24:37.720 --> 00:24:38.340
 whatever it is

00:24:38.340 --> 00:24:38.840
 I don't know

00:24:38.840 --> 00:24:39.240
 what it'll be

00:24:39.240 --> 00:24:39.860
 but I'm going

00:24:39.860 --> 00:24:40.200
 Jesus

00:24:40.200 --> 00:24:40.720
 I'll be there

00:24:40.720 --> 00:24:41.400
 for the king.

00:24:41.400 --> 00:24:46.300
 Joseph teams

00:24:46.300 --> 00:24:46.940
 up with

00:24:46.940 --> 00:24:48.240
 Nicodemus

00:24:48.240 --> 00:24:50.519
 God rarely

00:24:50.519 --> 00:24:51.540
 sends his followers

00:24:51.540 --> 00:24:52.560
 out alone

00:24:52.560 --> 00:24:52.960
 does he?

00:24:54.660 --> 00:24:55.820
 Remember Nicodemus?

00:24:56.759 --> 00:24:57.700
 The teacher

00:24:57.700 --> 00:24:58.320
 of Israel

00:24:58.320 --> 00:24:58.840
 who had

00:24:58.840 --> 00:25:00.380
 lots of questions

00:25:00.380 --> 00:25:01.160
 for Jesus

00:25:01.160 --> 00:25:01.940
 under the cover

00:25:01.940 --> 00:25:02.660
 of darkness

00:25:02.660 --> 00:25:03.320
 back in

00:25:03.320 --> 00:25:04.840
 John chapter 3?

00:25:06.780 --> 00:25:07.259
 Nicodemus

00:25:07.259 --> 00:25:07.900
 was really

00:25:07.900 --> 00:25:08.700
 thrown off

00:25:08.700 --> 00:25:09.500
 by the idea

00:25:09.500 --> 00:25:10.480
 of being born again

00:25:10.480 --> 00:25:11.140
 he had a lot

00:25:11.140 --> 00:25:11.640
 of questions

00:25:11.640 --> 00:25:12.279
 about that

00:25:12.279 --> 00:25:12.519
 right?

00:25:13.120 --> 00:25:13.559
 You could

00:25:13.559 --> 00:25:14.240
 certainly

00:25:14.240 --> 00:25:15.200
 call Nicodemus

00:25:15.200 --> 00:25:16.140
 a skeptic

00:25:16.140 --> 00:25:17.680
 about Jesus.

00:25:19.380 --> 00:25:20.279
 He speaks up

00:25:20.279 --> 00:25:20.539
 for him

00:25:20.539 --> 00:25:21.259
 at the Sanhedrin

00:25:21.259 --> 00:25:21.740
 once

00:25:21.740 --> 00:25:22.819
 later in John

00:25:22.819 --> 00:25:23.240
 but really

00:25:23.240 --> 00:25:23.720
 we have no

00:25:23.720 --> 00:25:24.039
 evidence

00:25:24.039 --> 00:25:24.360
 that he

00:25:24.360 --> 00:25:24.740
 believed

00:25:24.740 --> 00:25:25.319
 in Jesus

00:25:25.319 --> 00:25:27.900
 until now.

00:25:30.900 --> 00:25:31.400
 I want you

00:25:31.400 --> 00:25:31.819
 to try to

00:25:31.819 --> 00:25:32.240
 put yourself

00:25:32.240 --> 00:25:33.120
 in his mind

00:25:33.120 --> 00:25:33.480
 for a minute

00:25:33.480 --> 00:25:33.900
 just from

00:25:33.900 --> 00:25:34.360
 what we know

00:25:34.360 --> 00:25:34.620
 of him

00:25:34.620 --> 00:25:35.839
 back in chapter 3

00:25:35.839 --> 00:25:36.440
 Jesus had

00:25:36.440 --> 00:25:37.440
 told Nicodemus

00:25:37.440 --> 00:25:38.400
 that he

00:25:38.400 --> 00:25:38.860
 Jesus

00:25:38.860 --> 00:25:39.420
 would have

00:25:39.420 --> 00:25:39.720
 to be

00:25:39.720 --> 00:25:40.400
 lifted up

00:25:40.400 --> 00:25:41.440
 on a cross

00:25:41.440 --> 00:25:42.440
 like the

00:25:42.440 --> 00:25:42.840
 snake

00:25:42.840 --> 00:25:43.220
 in the

00:25:43.220 --> 00:25:43.700
 wilderness

00:25:43.700 --> 00:25:45.240
 in order

00:25:45.240 --> 00:25:46.040
 for men

00:25:46.040 --> 00:25:46.759
 to be born

00:25:46.759 --> 00:25:47.240
 again

00:25:47.240 --> 00:25:47.840
 to have

00:25:47.840 --> 00:25:48.680
 new life

00:25:48.680 --> 00:25:49.400
 in fact

00:25:49.400 --> 00:25:50.040
 without that

00:25:50.040 --> 00:25:50.320
 kind of

00:25:50.320 --> 00:25:50.880
 new birth

00:25:50.880 --> 00:25:51.620
 from above

00:25:51.620 --> 00:25:52.560
 Nicodemus

00:25:52.560 --> 00:25:52.900
 the one

00:25:52.900 --> 00:25:53.259
 who knew

00:25:53.259 --> 00:25:53.840
 so much

00:25:53.840 --> 00:25:54.480
 would never

00:25:54.480 --> 00:25:55.320
 even see

00:25:55.320 --> 00:25:55.800
 the kingdom

00:25:55.800 --> 00:25:56.480
 of God

00:25:56.480 --> 00:26:00.000
 it seems

00:26:00.000 --> 00:26:00.460
 that

00:26:00.460 --> 00:26:01.560
 skeptical

00:26:01.560 --> 00:26:02.360
 Nicodemus

00:26:02.360 --> 00:26:02.720
 thought

00:26:02.720 --> 00:26:04.820
 I believe

00:26:04.820 --> 00:26:05.660
 that kind

00:26:05.660 --> 00:26:06.560
 of crazy

00:26:06.560 --> 00:26:07.740
 sacrificial

00:26:07.740 --> 00:26:08.519
 leadership

00:26:08.519 --> 00:26:09.279
 when

00:26:09.279 --> 00:26:09.480
 I

00:26:09.480 --> 00:26:09.799
 see

00:26:09.799 --> 00:26:10.059
 it

00:26:10.059 --> 00:26:10.759
 that's

00:26:10.759 --> 00:26:10.900
 not

00:26:10.900 --> 00:26:11.180
 the way

00:26:11.180 --> 00:26:11.920
 kings

00:26:11.920 --> 00:26:12.720
 and kingdoms

00:26:12.720 --> 00:26:13.359
 work

00:26:13.359 --> 00:26:14.079
 around

00:26:14.079 --> 00:26:14.660
 here

00:26:14.660 --> 00:26:18.359
 and now

00:26:18.359 --> 00:26:18.960
 at the cross

00:26:18.960 --> 00:26:19.639
 what happens

00:26:19.639 --> 00:26:21.039
 all of a sudden

00:26:21.039 --> 00:26:21.500
 the guy who's

00:26:21.500 --> 00:26:21.900
 waiting

00:26:21.900 --> 00:26:23.220
 he's in

00:26:23.220 --> 00:26:23.819
 wait and see

00:26:23.819 --> 00:26:24.180
 mode

00:26:24.180 --> 00:26:24.900
 with this

00:26:24.900 --> 00:26:25.240
 Jesus

00:26:25.240 --> 00:26:25.740
 that he's

00:26:25.740 --> 00:26:26.440
 talked to

00:26:26.440 --> 00:26:27.240
 he sees

00:26:27.240 --> 00:26:27.839
 the cross

00:26:27.839 --> 00:26:28.220
 and it all

00:26:28.220 --> 00:26:28.539
 starts

00:26:28.539 --> 00:26:29.240
 falling

00:26:29.240 --> 00:26:30.079
 into place

00:26:30.079 --> 00:26:31.259
 Nicodemus

00:26:31.259 --> 00:26:32.000
 is all

00:26:32.000 --> 00:26:32.339
 in

00:26:32.339 --> 00:26:33.180
 born

00:26:33.180 --> 00:26:33.799
 again

00:26:33.799 --> 00:26:34.460
 you might

00:26:34.460 --> 00:26:34.940
 say

00:26:34.940 --> 00:26:36.960
 75

00:26:36.960 --> 00:26:38.299
 pounds

00:26:38.299 --> 00:26:39.779
 of spices

00:26:39.779 --> 00:26:41.539
 so expensive

00:26:41.539 --> 00:26:42.420
 trust me

00:26:42.420 --> 00:26:43.940
 the honor

00:26:43.940 --> 00:26:44.519
 of a rich

00:26:44.519 --> 00:26:45.600
 man's tomb

00:26:45.600 --> 00:26:46.519
 in fulfillment

00:26:46.519 --> 00:26:47.180
 of Isaiah

00:26:47.180 --> 00:26:47.840
 53

00:26:47.840 --> 00:26:48.579
 and these

00:26:48.579 --> 00:26:49.539
 are spices

00:26:49.539 --> 00:26:51.079
 fit for

00:26:51.079 --> 00:26:51.940
 a king

00:26:51.940 --> 00:26:53.019
 no one else

00:26:53.019 --> 00:26:53.620
 in these days

00:26:53.620 --> 00:26:53.960
 would have

00:26:53.960 --> 00:26:54.519
 received

00:26:54.519 --> 00:26:56.039
 that amount

00:26:56.039 --> 00:26:57.000
 of spices

00:26:57.000 --> 00:26:58.120
 for a burial

00:26:58.120 --> 00:26:59.960
 except a king

00:26:59.960 --> 00:27:00.799
 do you hear

00:27:00.799 --> 00:27:01.460
 what Nicodemus

00:27:01.460 --> 00:27:01.900
 is saying

00:27:01.900 --> 00:27:02.200
 now

00:27:02.200 --> 00:27:05.000
 there's the king

00:27:05.000 --> 00:27:06.900
 this is a royal

00:27:06.900 --> 00:27:07.620
 burial

00:27:07.620 --> 00:27:08.580
 the king

00:27:08.580 --> 00:27:09.259
 of the Jews

00:27:09.259 --> 00:27:10.680
 the Messiah

00:27:10.680 --> 00:27:12.220
 even

00:27:12.220 --> 00:27:13.140
 in a graveyard

00:27:13.140 --> 00:27:14.259
 the king

00:27:14.259 --> 00:27:15.220
 even as he's

00:27:15.220 --> 00:27:16.279
 wrapped head to toe

00:27:16.279 --> 00:27:17.460
 and placed in a tomb

00:27:17.460 --> 00:27:18.319
 the king

00:27:18.319 --> 00:27:21.360
 Nicodemus

00:27:21.360 --> 00:27:21.960
 doesn't know

00:27:21.960 --> 00:27:22.940
 what's coming next

00:27:22.940 --> 00:27:24.019
 does he

00:27:24.019 --> 00:27:24.940
 there's lots

00:27:24.940 --> 00:27:25.740
 of spices there

00:27:25.740 --> 00:27:26.380
 that wouldn't be

00:27:26.380 --> 00:27:27.759
 practically necessary

00:27:27.759 --> 00:27:29.799
 but like

00:27:29.799 --> 00:27:30.299
 Lazarus'

00:27:30.460 --> 00:27:31.180
 sister Mary

00:27:31.180 --> 00:27:31.880
 just a few

00:27:31.880 --> 00:27:33.500
 months ago

00:27:33.500 --> 00:27:34.200
 he sees

00:27:34.200 --> 00:27:34.760
 the value

00:27:34.760 --> 00:27:35.360
 of Jesus

00:27:35.360 --> 00:27:36.980
 and he honors

00:27:36.980 --> 00:27:37.820
 him the best

00:27:37.820 --> 00:27:38.340
 way he knows

00:27:38.340 --> 00:27:38.700
 how

00:27:38.700 --> 00:27:41.680
 listen

00:27:41.680 --> 00:27:42.120
 bring your

00:27:42.120 --> 00:27:42.620
 questions

00:27:42.620 --> 00:27:44.120
 bring your

00:27:44.120 --> 00:27:44.800
 confusion

00:27:44.800 --> 00:27:45.840
 bring your

00:27:45.840 --> 00:27:46.740
 skepticism

00:27:46.740 --> 00:27:47.500
 to Jesus

00:27:47.500 --> 00:27:48.560
 he welcomes

00:27:48.560 --> 00:27:49.180
 those

00:27:49.180 --> 00:27:50.220
 he welcomes

00:27:50.220 --> 00:27:50.740
 you

00:27:50.740 --> 00:27:51.460
 he wants to

00:27:51.460 --> 00:27:52.020
 walk with you

00:27:52.020 --> 00:27:52.660
 to the cross

00:27:52.660 --> 00:27:52.940
 and say

00:27:52.940 --> 00:27:53.360
 look what I'm

00:27:53.360 --> 00:27:53.740
 going to do

00:27:53.740 --> 00:27:54.420
 for you

00:27:54.420 --> 00:27:55.560
 bring your

00:27:55.560 --> 00:27:56.600
 questions there

00:27:56.600 --> 00:27:57.640
 to him

00:27:57.640 --> 00:27:58.960
 he dies on

00:27:58.960 --> 00:27:59.480
 the cross

00:27:59.480 --> 00:28:00.040
 to give you

00:28:00.040 --> 00:28:00.900
 new life

00:28:00.900 --> 00:28:02.420
 what a gift

00:28:02.420 --> 00:28:03.660
 from a self

00:28:03.660 --> 00:28:05.000
 sacrificing

00:28:05.000 --> 00:28:05.720
 king

00:28:05.720 --> 00:28:07.920
 quite a king

00:28:07.920 --> 00:28:10.500
 see there's one

00:28:10.500 --> 00:28:11.140
 more perspective

00:28:11.140 --> 00:28:12.140
 on this crucified

00:28:12.140 --> 00:28:12.960
 king that

00:28:12.960 --> 00:28:14.340
 is clearly very

00:28:14.340 --> 00:28:15.060
 important to

00:28:15.060 --> 00:28:15.400
 John

00:28:15.400 --> 00:28:18.220
 it's ours

00:28:18.220 --> 00:28:20.180
 it's yours

00:28:20.180 --> 00:28:22.060
 look back at

00:28:22.060 --> 00:28:22.580
 the witness

00:28:22.580 --> 00:28:24.259
 why does

00:28:24.259 --> 00:28:25.280
 John go to

00:28:25.280 --> 00:28:26.180
 such great

00:28:26.180 --> 00:28:26.759
 lengths

00:28:26.759 --> 00:28:27.519
 to shine

00:28:27.519 --> 00:28:28.359
 the spotlight

00:28:28.359 --> 00:28:29.460
 on the death

00:28:29.460 --> 00:28:30.059
 of Jesus

00:28:30.059 --> 00:28:30.920
 why does he

00:28:30.920 --> 00:28:31.319
 need us to

00:28:31.319 --> 00:28:31.779
 know it's an

00:28:31.779 --> 00:28:32.279
 eyewitness

00:28:32.279 --> 00:28:32.740
 who sees

00:28:32.740 --> 00:28:33.519
 exactly what

00:28:33.519 --> 00:28:34.000
 happens and

00:28:34.000 --> 00:28:34.599
 can confirm

00:28:34.599 --> 00:28:35.420
 this for us

00:28:35.420 --> 00:28:38.460
 that you

00:28:38.460 --> 00:28:39.440
 also

00:28:39.440 --> 00:28:41.839
 may believe

00:28:41.839 --> 00:28:46.720
 John is

00:28:46.720 --> 00:28:47.779
 urging you

00:28:47.779 --> 00:28:49.639
 as he does

00:28:49.639 --> 00:28:50.440
 in this whole

00:28:50.440 --> 00:28:50.819
 book

00:28:50.819 --> 00:28:52.180
 to see that

00:28:52.180 --> 00:28:53.200
 the true king

00:28:53.200 --> 00:28:54.500
 the promised

00:28:54.500 --> 00:28:55.200
 Christ

00:28:55.200 --> 00:28:55.340
 Christ

00:28:55.340 --> 00:28:57.019
 is Jesus

00:28:57.019 --> 00:28:59.799
 he invites

00:28:59.799 --> 00:29:00.100
 you to

00:29:00.100 --> 00:29:00.759
 see that

00:29:00.759 --> 00:29:01.120
 he really

00:29:01.120 --> 00:29:01.640
 suffered

00:29:01.640 --> 00:29:02.819
 and truly

00:29:02.819 --> 00:29:03.319
 died

00:29:03.319 --> 00:29:04.660
 that he

00:29:04.660 --> 00:29:05.240
 fulfilled the

00:29:05.240 --> 00:29:05.580
 scriptures

00:29:05.580 --> 00:29:05.900
 that he

00:29:05.900 --> 00:29:06.420
 obeyed

00:29:06.420 --> 00:29:06.840
 to the

00:29:06.840 --> 00:29:07.299
 end

00:29:07.299 --> 00:29:08.380
 but

00:29:08.380 --> 00:29:09.860
 it's more

00:29:09.860 --> 00:29:10.460
 than that

00:29:10.460 --> 00:29:12.600
 John's

00:29:12.600 --> 00:29:13.000
 inviting you

00:29:13.000 --> 00:29:13.380
 into more

00:29:13.380 --> 00:29:13.720
 than that

00:29:13.720 --> 00:29:14.380
 he's offering

00:29:14.380 --> 00:29:15.380
 that as

00:29:15.380 --> 00:29:16.059
 you believe

00:29:16.059 --> 00:29:17.120
 you will

00:29:17.120 --> 00:29:17.940
 have life

00:29:17.940 --> 00:29:19.660
 through

00:29:19.660 --> 00:29:20.200
 Jesus

00:29:20.200 --> 00:29:22.000
 see

00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:23.220
 dependent

00:29:23.220 --> 00:29:23.860
 faith

00:29:23.859 --> 00:29:24.259
 what he's

00:29:24.259 --> 00:29:24.859
 inviting you

00:29:24.859 --> 00:29:25.119
 into

00:29:25.119 --> 00:29:25.919
 it's not

00:29:25.919 --> 00:29:26.159
 mere

00:29:26.159 --> 00:29:27.059
 intellectual

00:29:27.059 --> 00:29:28.059
 ascent

00:29:28.059 --> 00:29:29.179
 to some

00:29:29.179 --> 00:29:30.000
 historical

00:29:30.000 --> 00:29:30.659
 realities

00:29:30.659 --> 00:29:31.379
 and teachings

00:29:31.379 --> 00:29:31.839
 about

00:29:31.839 --> 00:29:32.619
 Jesus

00:29:32.619 --> 00:29:34.240
 John often

00:29:34.240 --> 00:29:34.899
 uses the

00:29:34.899 --> 00:29:35.219
 phrase

00:29:35.219 --> 00:29:35.759
 believing

00:29:35.759 --> 00:29:36.639
 into

00:29:36.639 --> 00:29:37.439
 Jesus

00:29:37.439 --> 00:29:38.319
 because

00:29:38.319 --> 00:29:38.939
 it's

00:29:38.939 --> 00:29:39.179
 about

00:29:39.179 --> 00:29:39.379
 a

00:29:39.379 --> 00:29:40.139
 relationship

00:29:40.139 --> 00:29:40.719
 entering

00:29:40.719 --> 00:29:41.019
 into

00:29:41.019 --> 00:29:41.219
 this

00:29:41.219 --> 00:29:42.159
 relationship

00:29:42.159 --> 00:29:42.740
 with

00:29:42.740 --> 00:29:43.099
 Jesus

00:29:43.099 --> 00:29:43.439
 that's

00:29:43.439 --> 00:29:43.559
 what

00:29:43.559 --> 00:29:43.899
 John's

00:29:43.899 --> 00:29:44.379
 describing

00:29:44.379 --> 00:29:44.859
 for you

00:29:44.859 --> 00:29:45.379
 it is

00:29:45.379 --> 00:29:45.519
 a

00:29:45.519 --> 00:29:46.319
 relationship

00:29:46.319 --> 00:29:46.939
 of

00:29:46.939 --> 00:29:47.679
 grace

00:29:47.679 --> 00:29:48.699
 where

00:29:48.699 --> 00:29:48.959
 you

00:29:48.959 --> 00:29:49.399
 believe

00:29:49.399 --> 00:29:49.659
 in

00:29:49.659 --> 00:29:49.939
 him

00:29:49.940 --> 00:29:51.700
 not

00:29:51.700 --> 00:29:51.960
 merely

00:29:51.960 --> 00:29:52.180
 that

00:29:52.180 --> 00:29:52.279
 he

00:29:52.279 --> 00:29:52.740
 died

00:29:52.740 --> 00:29:54.000
 not

00:29:54.000 --> 00:29:54.299
 merely

00:29:54.299 --> 00:29:54.519
 that

00:29:54.519 --> 00:29:54.640
 he

00:29:54.640 --> 00:29:55.039
 died

00:29:55.039 --> 00:29:55.259
 as

00:29:55.259 --> 00:29:55.400
 a

00:29:55.400 --> 00:29:55.740
 sacrifice

00:29:55.740 --> 00:29:56.080
 for

00:29:56.080 --> 00:29:56.559
 sins

00:29:56.559 --> 00:29:57.799
 but

00:29:57.799 --> 00:29:58.019
 that

00:29:58.019 --> 00:29:58.279
 he

00:29:58.279 --> 00:29:58.759
 died

00:29:58.759 --> 00:29:59.160
 to

00:29:59.160 --> 00:29:59.299
 pay

00:29:59.299 --> 00:29:59.460
 the

00:29:59.460 --> 00:29:59.759
 penalty

00:29:59.759 --> 00:30:00.059
 of

00:30:00.059 --> 00:30:00.580
 your

00:30:00.580 --> 00:30:01.180
 sins

00:30:01.180 --> 00:30:02.700
 that

00:30:02.700 --> 00:30:03.400
 the

00:30:03.400 --> 00:30:03.660
 penalty

00:30:03.660 --> 00:30:04.039
 you

00:30:04.039 --> 00:30:04.320
 could

00:30:04.320 --> 00:30:04.680
 never

00:30:04.680 --> 00:30:05.400
 pay

00:30:05.400 --> 00:30:06.120
 and

00:30:06.120 --> 00:30:06.380
 so

00:30:06.380 --> 00:30:06.720
 bring

00:30:06.720 --> 00:30:07.140
 you

00:30:07.140 --> 00:30:07.519
 into

00:30:07.519 --> 00:30:07.680
 the

00:30:07.680 --> 00:30:08.019

00:30:08.019 --> 00:30:08.259
 of

 God

00:30:08.580 --> 00:30:09.019
 he

00:30:09.019 --> 00:30:09.500
 pays

00:30:09.500 --> 00:30:09.840
 the

00:30:09.840 --> 00:30:10.440
 price

00:30:10.440 --> 00:30:11.200
 you

00:30:11.200 --> 00:30:11.440

00:30:11.600 --> 00:30:12.160
 credits

00:30:12.160 --> 00:30:12.920
 it's

00:30:12.920 --> 00:30:13.000
 a

00:30:13.000 --> 00:30:13.640
 relationship

00:30:13.640 --> 00:30:14.019
 of

00:30:14.019 --> 00:30:14.880
 grace

00:30:14.880 --> 00:30:15.660
 where

00:30:15.660 --> 00:30:15.960
 you

00:30:15.960 --> 00:30:16.759
 believe

 into

00:30:17.440 --> 00:30:18.279
 Jesus

00:30:18.279 --> 00:30:18.899
 not

00:30:18.899 --> 00:30:19.500
 merely

00:30:19.500 --> 00:30:19.720
 that

00:30:19.720 --> 00:30:19.819
 he

00:30:19.819 --> 00:30:20.019
 was

00:30:20.019 --> 00:30:20.420
 pierced

00:30:20.420 --> 00:30:20.559
 in

00:30:20.559 --> 00:30:20.759
 blood

00:30:20.759 --> 00:30:20.920
 and

00:30:20.920 --> 00:30:21.220
 water

00:30:21.220 --> 00:30:21.779
 flowed

00:30:21.779 --> 00:30:21.879
 out

00:30:21.879 --> 00:30:21.980
 of

00:30:21.980 --> 00:30:22.139
 his

00:30:22.139 --> 00:30:22.480
 body

00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:22.980
 but

00:30:22.980 --> 00:30:23.180
 that

00:30:23.180 --> 00:30:23.460
 his

00:30:23.460 --> 00:30:23.799
 blood

00:30:23.799 --> 00:30:24.379
 washes

00:30:24.379 --> 00:30:24.920
 you

00:30:24.920 --> 00:30:25.539
 clean

00:30:25.539 --> 00:30:25.920
 and

00:30:25.920 --> 00:30:26.039
 that

00:30:26.039 --> 00:30:26.299
 rivers

00:30:26.299 --> 00:30:26.480
 of

00:30:26.480 --> 00:30:26.720
 living

00:30:26.720 --> 00:30:27.099
 water

00:30:27.099 --> 00:30:27.440

00:30:27.440 --> 00:30:27.680
 flow

00:30:27.680 --> 00:30:27.980
 from

00:30:27.980 --> 00:30:28.399
 you

00:30:28.399 --> 00:30:28.859
 as

00:30:28.859 --> 00:30:29.180
 you

00:30:29.180 --> 00:30:29.480
 are

00:30:29.480 --> 00:30:29.599
 the

00:30:29.599 --> 00:30:29.799
 one

00:30:29.799 --> 00:30:29.980
 who

00:30:29.980 --> 00:30:30.700
 receives

00:30:30.700 --> 00:30:31.000
 his

00:30:31.000 --> 00:30:31.619
 spirit

00:30:31.619 --> 00:30:32.099
 because

00:30:32.099 --> 00:30:32.440
 you

00:30:32.440 --> 00:30:32.759
 know

00:30:32.759 --> 00:30:33.139
 the

00:30:33.139 --> 00:30:33.660
 unique

00:30:33.660 --> 00:30:34.680
 king

00:30:34.680 --> 00:30:35.980
 the

00:30:35.980 --> 00:30:36.160
 king

00:30:36.160 --> 00:30:36.319
 who

00:30:36.319 --> 00:30:36.579
 gives

00:30:36.579 --> 00:30:36.819
 his

00:30:36.819 --> 00:30:37.460
 life

00:30:37.460 --> 00:30:38.440
 for

00:30:38.440 --> 00:30:38.660
 his

00:30:38.660 --> 00:30:39.079
 people

00:30:39.079 --> 00:30:39.359
 rather

00:30:39.359 --> 00:30:39.579
 than

00:30:39.579 --> 00:30:40.039
 demanding

00:30:40.039 --> 00:30:40.319
 they

00:30:40.319 --> 00:30:40.559
 give

00:30:40.559 --> 00:30:41.079
 theirs

00:30:41.079 --> 00:30:41.079


00:30:42.139 --> 00:30:42.220
 for

00:30:42.220 --> 00:30:42.619
 him

00:30:42.619 --> 00:30:44.160
 it's

00:30:44.160 --> 00:30:44.259
 a

00:30:44.259 --> 00:30:44.680
 relationship

00:30:44.680 --> 00:30:45.000
 of

00:30:45.000 --> 00:30:45.539
 grace

00:30:45.539 --> 00:30:46.980
 where

00:30:46.980 --> 00:30:47.200
 you

00:30:47.200 --> 00:30:47.639
 believe

00:30:48.279 --> 00:30:48.839
 Jesus

00:30:48.839 --> 00:30:49.779
 not

00:30:49.779 --> 00:30:50.059
 merely

00:30:50.059 --> 00:30:50.259
 that

00:30:50.259 --> 00:30:50.359
 he

00:30:50.359 --> 00:30:50.500
 was

00:30:50.500 --> 00:30:50.639
 a

00:30:50.639 --> 00:30:50.960
 king

00:30:50.960 --> 00:30:51.759
 and

00:30:51.759 --> 00:30:51.920
 did

00:30:51.920 --> 00:30:52.220
 lots

00:30:52.220 --> 00:30:52.420
 of

00:30:52.420 --> 00:30:53.000
 wonderful

00:30:53.000 --> 00:30:53.519
 things

00:30:53.519 --> 00:30:53.759
 that

00:30:53.759 --> 00:30:54.299
 should

00:30:54.299 --> 00:30:54.480
 be

00:30:54.480 --> 00:30:55.059
 emulated

00:30:55.059 --> 00:30:55.339
 in

00:30:55.339 --> 00:30:55.579
 your

00:30:55.579 --> 00:30:56.339
 life

00:30:56.339 --> 00:30:57.240
 get to

00:30:57.240 --> 00:30:57.619
 work

00:30:57.619 --> 00:30:58.500
 do

00:30:58.500 --> 00:30:58.960
 enough

00:30:58.960 --> 00:30:59.420
 try

00:30:59.420 --> 00:30:59.899
 harder

00:30:59.900 --> 00:31:02.240
 but

00:31:02.240 --> 00:31:02.400
 you

00:31:02.400 --> 00:31:02.759
 believe

00:31:02.759 --> 00:31:02.960
 that

00:31:02.960 --> 00:31:03.440
 he

00:31:03.440 --> 00:31:04.100
 finished

00:31:04.100 --> 00:31:04.400
 all

00:31:04.400 --> 00:31:04.920
 righteousness

00:31:04.920 --> 00:31:06.660
 for

00:31:06.660 --> 00:31:07.220
 you

00:31:07.220 --> 00:31:08.440
 all

00:31:08.440 --> 00:31:08.620
 that

00:31:08.620 --> 00:31:08.820
 God

00:31:08.820 --> 00:31:09.480
 required

00:31:09.480 --> 00:31:10.120
 of

00:31:10.120 --> 00:31:10.680
 you

00:31:10.680 --> 00:31:11.300
 so

00:31:11.300 --> 00:31:11.480
 the

00:31:11.480 --> 00:31:12.180
 burden

00:31:12.180 --> 00:31:12.560
 is

00:31:12.560 --> 00:31:12.800
 off

00:31:12.800 --> 00:31:12.980
 of

00:31:12.980 --> 00:31:13.440
 you

00:31:13.440 --> 00:31:13.820
 and

00:31:13.820 --> 00:31:13.980
 yet

00:31:13.980 --> 00:31:14.200
 he

00:31:14.200 --> 00:31:14.519
 gives

00:31:14.519 --> 00:31:14.880
 you

00:31:14.880 --> 00:31:15.300
 his

00:31:15.300 --> 00:31:15.740
 spirit

00:31:15.740 --> 00:31:16.120
 so

00:31:16.120 --> 00:31:16.280
 that

00:31:16.280 --> 00:31:16.540
 you

00:31:16.540 --> 00:31:16.740
 can

00:31:16.740 --> 00:31:16.840
 do

00:31:16.840 --> 00:31:16.960
 the

00:31:16.960 --> 00:31:17.120
 good

00:31:17.120 --> 00:31:17.400
 works

00:31:17.400 --> 00:31:17.560
 that

00:31:17.560 --> 00:31:17.640
 he

00:31:17.640 --> 00:31:17.800
 has

00:31:17.800 --> 00:31:18.100
 prepared

00:31:18.100 --> 00:31:18.740
 personally

00:31:18.740 --> 00:31:19.380
 for

00:31:19.380 --> 00:31:19.900
 you

00:31:19.900 --> 00:31:20.280
 while

00:31:20.280 --> 00:31:20.460
 he

00:31:20.460 --> 00:31:20.759
 walks

00:31:20.759 --> 00:31:21.100
 with

00:31:21.100 --> 00:31:21.519
 you

00:31:21.519 --> 00:31:22.460
 in

00:31:22.460 --> 00:31:22.620
 his

00:31:22.620 --> 00:31:22.980
 name

00:31:22.980 --> 00:31:23.400
 for

00:31:23.400 --> 00:31:23.600
 his

00:31:23.600 --> 00:31:24.160
 glory

00:31:24.160 --> 00:31:24.680
 he

00:31:24.680 --> 00:31:25.440
 set

00:31:25.440 --> 00:31:25.600
 you

00:31:25.600 --> 00:31:25.759
 up

00:31:25.759 --> 00:31:25.900
 for

00:31:25.900 --> 00:31:26.259
 that

00:31:26.259 --> 00:31:28.200
 I

00:31:28.200 --> 00:31:28.359

00:31:29.299 --> 00:31:29.740
 believing

00:31:29.740 --> 00:31:30.440
 into

00:31:30.440 --> 00:31:30.900
 Jesus

00:31:36.279 --> 00:31:36.519
 on

00:31:36.879 --> 00:31:37.359
 understand

00:31:37.359 --> 00:31:37.759
 more

00:31:37.759 --> 00:31:37.920
 than

00:31:37.920 --> 00:31:38.180
 others

00:31:38.180 --> 00:31:38.440
 about

00:31:38.440 --> 00:31:38.619
 how

00:31:38.619 --> 00:31:38.779
 the

00:31:38.779 --> 00:31:39.039
 plane

00:31:39.039 --> 00:31:39.680
 flies

00:31:39.680 --> 00:31:40.799
 how

00:31:40.799 --> 00:31:40.980
 it

00:31:40.980 --> 00:31:41.259
 stays

00:31:41.259 --> 00:31:41.440
 up

00:31:41.440 --> 00:31:41.519
 in

00:31:41.519 --> 00:31:41.640
 the

00:31:41.640 --> 00:31:41.859
 air

00:31:41.859 --> 00:31:42.240
 right

00:31:42.240 --> 00:31:43.940
 perhaps

00:31:43.940 --> 00:31:44.279
 as a

00:31:44.279 --> 00:31:44.619
 result

00:31:44.619 --> 00:31:45.900
 some

00:31:45.900 --> 00:31:46.059
 are

00:31:46.059 --> 00:31:46.259
 more

00:31:46.259 --> 00:31:46.680
 fearful

00:31:46.680 --> 00:31:47.680
 than

00:31:47.680 --> 00:31:48.059
 others

00:31:48.059 --> 00:31:49.879
 maybe

00:31:49.879 --> 00:31:50.059
 you

00:31:50.059 --> 00:31:50.319
 felt

00:31:50.319 --> 00:31:50.640
 that

00:31:50.640 --> 00:31:51.640
 some

00:31:51.640 --> 00:31:52.259
 sleep

00:31:52.259 --> 00:31:53.799
 while

00:31:53.799 --> 00:31:54.079
 others

00:31:54.079 --> 00:31:54.460
 busy

00:31:54.460 --> 00:31:55.059
 themselves

00:31:55.059 --> 00:31:55.440
 with

00:31:55.440 --> 00:31:55.879
 work

00:31:55.880 --> 00:31:57.840
 but

00:31:57.840 --> 00:31:58.460
 everyone

00:31:58.460 --> 00:31:59.200
 who

00:31:59.200 --> 00:31:59.620
 by

00:31:59.620 --> 00:32:00.120
 faith

00:32:00.120 --> 00:32:00.660
 steps

00:32:00.660 --> 00:32:00.960
 into

00:32:00.960 --> 00:32:01.240
 that

00:32:01.240 --> 00:32:01.660
 plane

00:32:01.660 --> 00:32:03.960
 arrives

00:32:03.960 --> 00:32:04.220
 at the

00:32:04.220 --> 00:32:04.420
 same

00:32:04.420 --> 00:32:05.000
 destination

00:32:05.000 --> 00:32:06.900
 together

00:32:06.900 --> 00:32:09.960
 come

00:32:09.960 --> 00:32:10.340
 aboard

00:32:10.340 --> 00:32:10.360
!

00:32:11.600 --> 00:32:12.060
 Believe

00:32:12.060 --> 00:32:12.520
 into

00:32:12.520 --> 00:32:12.960
 Jesus!

00:32:13.400 --> 00:32:13.780
 He

00:32:13.780 --> 00:32:14.140
 will

00:32:14.140 --> 00:32:14.760
 bring

00:32:14.760 --> 00:32:15.500
 you

00:32:15.500 --> 00:32:16.340
 home!

00:32:16.680 --> 00:32:16.800
 You

00:32:16.800 --> 00:32:16.980
 can

00:32:16.980 --> 00:32:17.340
 sit

00:32:17.340 --> 00:32:17.720
 back

00:32:17.720 --> 00:32:18.060
 and

00:32:18.060 --> 00:32:18.640
 relax

00:32:18.640 --> 00:32:19.040
 and

00:32:19.040 --> 00:32:19.480
 depend

00:32:19.480 --> 00:32:19.740
 on

00:32:19.740 --> 00:32:20.100
 him

00:32:20.100 --> 00:32:20.640
 and

00:32:20.640 --> 00:32:20.820
 he'll

00:32:20.820 --> 00:32:21.060
 get

00:32:21.060 --> 00:32:21.220
 you

00:32:21.220 --> 00:32:21.620
 there!

00:32:22.920 --> 00:32:23.140
 It's

00:32:23.140 --> 00:32:23.340
 why

00:32:23.340 --> 00:32:23.480
 he

00:32:23.480 --> 00:32:23.980
 died

00:32:23.980 --> 00:32:25.320
 for

00:32:25.320 --> 00:32:25.740
 you!

00:32:25.880 --> 00:32:28.340
 I

00:32:28.340 --> 00:32:28.460
 just

00:32:28.460 --> 00:32:28.580
 want

00:32:28.580 --> 00:32:28.680
 to

00:32:28.680 --> 00:32:28.820
 say

00:32:28.820 --> 00:32:28.960
 to

00:32:28.960 --> 00:32:29.220
 three

00:32:29.220 --> 00:32:29.560
 different

00:32:29.560 --> 00:32:29.860
 groups

00:32:29.860 --> 00:32:30.040
 of

00:32:30.040 --> 00:32:30.120
 you

00:32:30.120 --> 00:32:30.300
 this

00:32:30.300 --> 00:32:30.560
 morning

00:32:30.560 --> 00:32:30.860
 maybe

00:32:30.860 --> 00:32:31.240
 friend

00:32:31.240 --> 00:32:31.400
 who

00:32:31.400 --> 00:32:31.540
 has

00:32:31.540 --> 00:32:31.820
 never

00:32:31.820 --> 00:32:32.480
 seriously

00:32:32.480 --> 00:32:33.160
 considered

00:32:33.160 --> 00:32:33.880
 the

00:32:33.880 --> 00:32:34.080
 good

00:32:34.080 --> 00:32:34.340
 news

00:32:34.340 --> 00:32:34.540
 of

00:32:34.540 --> 00:32:34.940
 Jesus

00:32:34.940 --> 00:32:35.800
 would

00:32:35.800 --> 00:32:35.920
 you

00:32:35.920 --> 00:32:36.240
 see

00:32:36.240 --> 00:32:36.820
 Jesus

00:32:36.820 --> 00:32:37.560
 today

00:32:37.560 --> 00:32:38.400
 and

00:32:38.400 --> 00:32:38.960
 believe

00:32:38.960 --> 00:32:39.680
 in

00:32:39.680 --> 00:32:40.300
 him

00:32:40.300 --> 00:32:41.100
 and

00:32:41.100 --> 00:32:42.020
 find

00:32:42.020 --> 00:32:42.740
 life

00:32:42.740 --> 00:32:43.520
 forever

00:32:43.520 --> 00:32:43.820
 he's

00:32:43.820 --> 00:32:44.160
 the

00:32:44.160 --> 00:32:44.460
 king

00:32:44.460 --> 00:32:44.700
 who

00:32:44.700 --> 00:32:45.400
 dies

00:32:45.400 --> 00:32:45.960
 to

00:32:45.960 --> 00:32:46.380
 give

00:32:46.380 --> 00:32:46.660
 you

00:32:46.660 --> 00:32:47.460
 life

00:32:47.460 --> 00:32:48.300
 would

00:32:48.300 --> 00:32:48.500
 you

00:32:48.500 --> 00:32:49.240
 receive

00:32:49.240 --> 00:32:49.740
 that

00:32:49.740 --> 00:32:50.340
 today?

00:32:50.339 --> 00:32:52.799
 maybe

00:32:52.799 --> 00:32:53.859
 I think

00:32:53.859 --> 00:32:54.000
 there's

00:32:54.000 --> 00:32:54.359
 quite a

00:32:54.359 --> 00:32:54.500
 few

00:32:54.500 --> 00:32:54.919
 friends

00:32:54.919 --> 00:32:55.099
 who

00:32:55.099 --> 00:32:55.240
 have

00:32:55.240 --> 00:32:56.299

00:32:56.299 --> 00:32:56.619
 many

00:32:56.619 --> 00:32:56.779
 many

00:32:56.779 --> 00:32:57.039
 years

00:32:57.039 --> 00:32:57.179
 of

00:32:57.179 --> 00:32:57.299
 your

00:32:57.299 --> 00:32:57.480
 life

00:32:57.480 --> 00:32:57.699
 you've

00:32:57.699 --> 00:32:58.000
 liked

00:32:58.000 --> 00:32:58.199
 the

00:32:58.199 --> 00:32:58.599
 idea

00:32:58.599 --> 00:32:58.779
 of

00:32:58.779 --> 00:32:58.899
 the

00:32:58.899 --> 00:32:59.079
 good

00:32:59.079 --> 00:32:59.299

00:32:59.720 --> 00:32:59.959
 and

00:32:59.959 --> 00:33:00.119
 so

00:33:00.119 --> 00:33:00.559
 you

00:33:00.559 --> 00:33:00.779
 hang

00:33:00.779 --> 00:33:01.099
 around

00:33:01.099 --> 00:33:01.500
 places

00:33:01.500 --> 00:33:01.839
 like

00:33:01.839 --> 00:33:02.119
 this

00:33:02.119 --> 00:33:02.679
 occasionally

00:33:02.679 --> 00:33:04.919
 won't

00:33:04.919 --> 00:33:05.099

 you

00:33:09.359 --> 00:33:10.039

00:33:10.679 --> 00:33:10.799
 been

00:33:10.799 --> 00:33:11.019

00:33:11.019 --> 00:33:11.359
 around

00:33:11.359 --> 00:33:11.519

00:33:11.519 --> 00:33:11.720
 you've

00:33:11.720 --> 00:33:11.899

00:33:11.899 --> 00:33:12.399
 I'm

00:33:12.399 --> 00:33:12.579
 not

00:33:12.579 --> 00:33:13.039

00:33:13.039 --> 00:33:13.359

 I

00:33:13.720 --> 00:33:14.000
 need

00:34:21.619 --> 00:34:21.960
 often

00:34:21.960 --> 00:34:23.380
 and

00:34:23.380 --> 00:34:23.700
 sometimes

00:34:23.700 --> 00:34:24.180
 I do

00:34:24.180 --> 00:34:24.780
 feel like

00:34:48.539 --> 00:34:49.660

 They're

00:34:51.519 --> 00:34:52.100
