00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.080
 Let us worship God, singing to his praise in Psalm 1a.

00:00:06.520 --> 00:00:08.620
 That's in Sing Psalm, Psalm 1a.

00:00:16.719 --> 00:00:18.199
 It's on the first page.

00:00:19.160 --> 00:00:22.839
 Blessed is the one who turns away from where the wicked walk,

00:00:23.379 --> 00:00:27.820
 who does not stand in sinners' paths or sit with those who mock.

00:00:28.620 --> 00:00:32.920
 Instead, he finds God's holy law, his joy and great delight.

00:00:33.460 --> 00:00:36.799
 He makes the precepts of the Lord his study day and night.

00:00:37.560 --> 00:00:41.159
 He prospers ever like a tree that's planted by a stream,

00:00:41.980 --> 00:00:46.120
 and in due season yields its fruit, its leaves are always green.

00:00:46.460 --> 00:00:50.060
 Not so the wicked. They are like the chaff that's blown away.

00:00:50.659 --> 00:00:54.840
 They will not stand when judgment comes or with a righteous day.

00:00:54.840 --> 00:00:58.620
 It is the Lord who sees and knows the way the righteous go,

00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:02.720
 but those who live an evil life the Lord will overthrow.

00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:06.859
 Psalm 1a, the whole psalm, blessed is the one who turns away.

00:01:06.859 --> 00:01:24.799
 Blessed is the one who turns away from where the wicked walk,

00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:40.280
 who does not stand in sinners' paths or sit with those who mock.

00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:55.719
 Instead, he finds God's holy law, his joy and great delight.

00:01:55.719 --> 00:02:11.159
 He makes the precepts of the Lord his study day and night.

00:02:11.159 --> 00:02:26.579
 He prospers ever like a tree that's planted by a stream,

00:02:26.580 --> 00:02:41.740
 and in due season yields its fruit, its leaves are always green.

00:02:41.740 --> 00:02:56.740
 Not so the wicked. They are like the chaff that's blown away.

00:02:56.740 --> 00:03:12.560
 They will not stand when judgment comes or with a righteous day.

00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:27.840
 It is the Lord who sees and knows the way the righteous go,

00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:41.520
 that those who live an evil life the Lord will overthrow.

00:03:41.520 --> 00:03:45.420
 Let us bow in prayer.

00:03:48.640 --> 00:03:51.300
 Lord, as we gather before you this morning,

00:03:51.420 --> 00:03:54.140
 we give thanks for another opportunity to praise you.

00:03:54.900 --> 00:03:57.439
 We give thanks that you are God of heaven and earth

00:03:57.439 --> 00:04:01.920
 and that you have given us this wonderful day,

00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:06.020
 a day that's set aside in order to not only to recognize

00:04:06.020 --> 00:04:09.740
 your goodness and mercy towards us, but for us to worship you.

00:04:09.740 --> 00:04:14.620
 And we give thanks for us being able to come here on this lovely morning

00:04:14.620 --> 00:04:19.639
 and for we're able to give praise and thanks to the God of heaven and earth.

00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:23.360
 We pray that you'll bless us all, each and every one of us,

00:04:23.379 --> 00:04:24.519
 as we wait upon you.

00:04:25.420 --> 00:04:27.980
 Help us to hear what God the Lord will speak,

00:04:28.519 --> 00:04:31.259
 because we're told that he speaks peace to his people.

00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:35.259
 And we pray that we might have that peace deep within our heart,

00:04:35.660 --> 00:04:38.240
 that we may come to a greater knowledge of you

00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:40.620
 and an understanding of who you are.

00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:44.879
 And so we pray that you'll bless us from the youngest to the oldest.

00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:49.439
 Pray your blessing on the creche and the tweenies and Sunday school

00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:52.000
 that are just meeting just now.

00:04:52.060 --> 00:04:53.780
 And we ask that you'll bless each one.

00:04:54.600 --> 00:04:57.759
 We pray for help and for health and strength.

00:04:57.900 --> 00:05:01.560
 We pray particularly for those who are maybe unwell at this time.

00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:06.319
 And we do again bring before you little Lucy Beth,

00:05:06.420 --> 00:05:08.620
 and we pray your blessing upon her.

00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:11.540
 We give thanks for hearing of progress being made,

00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:15.980
 but we know that she's still really needing attention

00:05:15.980 --> 00:05:17.519
 and down in hospital.

00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:20.600
 And ask that you'll bless her and be with Laura Jane.

00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:22.980
 And with Nuck, we ask that you'll bless them

00:05:22.980 --> 00:05:25.139
 and all the respective members of the family.

00:05:25.840 --> 00:05:28.920
 And ask, Lord, that you'll be able to bring her home soon

00:05:28.920 --> 00:05:29.920
 and look after her.

00:05:30.520 --> 00:05:33.040
 We pray for all who are anxious over loved ones

00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:37.000
 and who are so aware of how fragile life is.

00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:39.960
 And we pray for those whose hearts are crushed and broken,

00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:45.860
 particularly when there is so much sorrow and sadness with young.

00:05:46.540 --> 00:05:49.000
 Watch over us then, we pray, and do us good.

00:05:49.080 --> 00:05:50.379
 Help us to wait upon you

00:05:50.379 --> 00:05:52.439
 and take away from us our sin.

00:05:52.520 --> 00:05:53.920
 In Jesus' name we ask it.

00:05:54.220 --> 00:05:54.560
 Amen.

00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:54.699
 Amen.

00:05:57.220 --> 00:06:00.939
 Just a wee word to the young folk before they go through.

00:06:02.780 --> 00:06:05.660
 Yesterday, just before lunch,

00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:08.300
 I went up to the shop just up the road from us

00:06:08.300 --> 00:06:09.600
 to get some rolls.

00:06:10.540 --> 00:06:13.079
 And Joshua, who can't come here today,

00:06:13.160 --> 00:06:14.240
 became sick this morning,

00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:17.079
 but he came with me.

00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:18.399
 He said, I want to come up with you.

00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:19.199
 So that was fine.

00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:21.839
 And it was, you know, in the winter,

00:06:22.339 --> 00:06:26.399
 sometimes the sun seems to be lower than in the summer.

00:06:26.479 --> 00:06:29.159
 In the summer, the sun's way, way, way up high in the sky.

00:06:29.259 --> 00:06:32.819
 But sometimes it's a bit lower and can be very bright.

00:06:33.180 --> 00:06:35.159
 And sometimes it shines off the road

00:06:35.159 --> 00:06:37.000
 and it's a bit, it's dazzling.

00:06:37.620 --> 00:06:40.079
 Well, it was like that when we were going up the road.

00:06:41.219 --> 00:06:41.980
 And he said to me,

00:06:42.019 --> 00:06:43.680
 Papa, I can't see properly in the sun.

00:06:44.459 --> 00:06:45.039
 You know what?

00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:48.240
 Well, you take my hand and be my eyes.

00:06:48.840 --> 00:06:49.819
 So I said, okay.

00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:53.360
 So he closed his eyes and I took his hand

00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:55.160
 and we started walking.

00:06:55.240 --> 00:06:57.879
 I said, what if I walk out into the middle of the road?

00:06:58.040 --> 00:06:59.300
 Oh, no, Papa, you wouldn't do that.

00:06:59.500 --> 00:07:01.060
 Just walk in a straight line.

00:07:01.180 --> 00:07:02.920
 Well, okay, I said, that's what I'll do.

00:07:04.320 --> 00:07:05.800
 And I had to tell him everything.

00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:07.220
 I said, right, stop.

00:07:07.720 --> 00:07:09.480
 We're going to have to cross the road here.

00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:11.020
 His eyes were still closed.

00:07:11.020 --> 00:07:13.820
 I said, no, we're going to have to stop.

00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:14.560
 I'm careful now.

00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:15.980
 We're coming off the pavement.

00:07:16.519 --> 00:07:17.639
 His eyes were still closed.

00:07:17.699 --> 00:07:19.060
 The only time he opened his eyes

00:07:19.060 --> 00:07:22.139
 was when a big bus stopped beside us

00:07:22.139 --> 00:07:23.120
 to let somebody off.

00:07:23.180 --> 00:07:24.639
 He had to check what that was.

00:07:25.660 --> 00:07:28.980
 But the thing was, he trusted me all the way

00:07:28.980 --> 00:07:32.600
 from just after the house, all the way to the shop.

00:07:32.779 --> 00:07:33.579
 I said, that's us.

00:07:33.699 --> 00:07:34.819
 We're arriving at the shop.

00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:36.560
 And I got me thinking.

00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:39.779
 I said, isn't that really how it should be with us,

00:07:39.779 --> 00:07:43.519
 with Jesus, that we would trust him like that?

00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:47.280
 He trusted me that I wouldn't take him out on the road.

00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:49.019
 He said, just walk in a straight line.

00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:53.560
 And you know, every day we should do the same with Jesus.

00:07:54.019 --> 00:07:58.060
 And go to him and say, Lord, help me just to walk with you.

00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:02.240
 And will you guide me and show me the way to go?

00:08:02.340 --> 00:08:04.180
 Because, you know, often we don't know.

00:08:04.300 --> 00:08:06.060
 We can make the wrong choices.

00:08:06.180 --> 00:08:07.699
 We can do the wrong things.

00:08:07.699 --> 00:08:10.060
 Help me, Lord, to do the right things.

00:08:10.479 --> 00:08:16.759
 Help me to be kind and wise and careful and helpful and obedient.

00:08:17.360 --> 00:08:20.199
 And help me, above all, to love you.

00:08:20.659 --> 00:08:23.079
 And, Lord, take me all the way through life.

00:08:23.420 --> 00:08:26.680
 And at the end, take me home to heaven with yourself.

00:08:27.360 --> 00:08:29.019
 Couldn't ask for anything better

00:08:29.019 --> 00:08:32.620
 or to have anything better in your life.

00:08:32.620 --> 00:08:35.659
 So let's now say the Lord's Prayer together.

00:08:35.659 --> 00:08:39.699
 Our Father, which art in heaven,

00:08:40.219 --> 00:08:41.559
 hallowed be thy name.

00:08:42.259 --> 00:08:43.319
 Thy kingdom come.

00:08:43.939 --> 00:08:46.879
 Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

00:08:47.419 --> 00:08:49.480
 Give us this day our daily bread

00:08:49.480 --> 00:08:53.759
 and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors.

00:08:54.439 --> 00:08:56.199
 And lead us not into temptation,

00:08:56.779 --> 00:08:58.379
 but deliver us from evil.

00:08:59.139 --> 00:09:00.299
 For thine is the kingdom,

00:09:00.860 --> 00:09:03.259
 the power and the glory forever.

00:09:03.839 --> 00:09:04.220
 Amen.

00:09:04.220 --> 00:09:04.340
 Amen.

00:09:06.139 --> 00:09:08.899
 We're going to sing again now from Psalm 37

00:09:08.899 --> 00:09:11.620
 in the Scottish Psalter, Psalm number 37.

00:09:13.560 --> 00:09:17.180
 We're going to sing verses 10 to 16.

00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:21.779
 Psalm 37, verses 10 to 16.

00:09:27.560 --> 00:09:31.300
 For yet a little while and then the wicked shall not be.

00:09:31.299 --> 00:09:34.339
 His place thou shalt consider well,

00:09:34.479 --> 00:09:37.219
 but it thou shalt not see.

00:09:37.839 --> 00:09:41.279
 But by inheritance the earth the meek ones shall possess.

00:09:42.059 --> 00:09:45.539
 They also shall delight themselves in an abundant peace.

00:09:46.219 --> 00:09:48.319
 The wicked plots against the just,

00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:50.379
 and Adam whets his teeth.

00:09:50.919 --> 00:09:52.279
 The Lord shall laugh at him,

00:09:52.319 --> 00:09:54.299
 because his day he coming seeth.

00:09:54.299 --> 00:09:56.839
 The wicked have drawn out the sword,

00:09:56.839 --> 00:09:59.839
 and bent their bow to slay the poor and needy,

00:09:59.899 --> 00:10:01.699
 and to kill men of an upright way.

00:10:02.500 --> 00:10:04.759
 But their own sword, which they have drawn,

00:10:05.099 --> 00:10:06.899
 shall enter their own heart.

00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:09.319
 Their bows, which they have bent,

00:10:09.539 --> 00:10:10.219
 shall break,

00:10:10.740 --> 00:10:13.299
 and into pieces part.

00:10:13.299 --> 00:10:16.799
 A little that a just man hath

00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:18.799
 is more and better far

00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:21.120
 than is the wealth of many such

00:10:21.120 --> 00:10:22.759
 as lewd and wicked are.

00:10:23.059 --> 00:10:25.699
 That's on page 253 of the Psalm book,

00:10:25.819 --> 00:10:30.500
 Psalm 37, verses 10 to 16.

00:10:31.299 --> 00:10:33.039
 For yet a little while and then

00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:34.599
 the wicked shall not be.

00:10:34.600 --> 00:10:48.500
 For yet a little while and then

00:10:48.500 --> 00:10:55.740
 the wicked shall not be.

00:10:55.740 --> 00:11:04.779
 His place thou shalt consider well,

00:11:04.779 --> 00:11:11.500
 but if thou shalt not see.

00:11:12.840 --> 00:11:20.740
 But by inheritance the earth

00:11:20.740 --> 00:11:28.560
 the meek ones shall possess.

00:11:28.560 --> 00:11:37.840
 They also shall delight themselves

00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:45.360
 in an abundant peace.

00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:50.519
 The wicked not

00:11:50.519 --> 00:11:54.840
 sagates the just

00:11:54.840 --> 00:11:57.600
 and not

00:11:57.600 --> 00:11:58.600
 him

00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:00.779
 raise his

00:12:00.779 --> 00:12:02.259
 deed.

00:12:02.940 --> 00:12:05.300
 The Lord

00:12:05.300 --> 00:12:06.460
 shall

00:12:06.460 --> 00:12:09.460
 affect him

00:12:09.460 --> 00:12:11.600
 because

00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:13.100
 his

00:12:13.100 --> 00:12:14.100
 stay

00:12:14.100 --> 00:12:15.100
 he

00:12:15.100 --> 00:12:16.540
 coming

00:12:16.540 --> 00:12:19.040
 see.

00:12:19.040 --> 00:12:22.220
 The wicked

00:12:22.220 --> 00:12:24.240
 have

00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:24.920
 drawn

00:12:24.920 --> 00:12:28.540
 out the sword

00:12:28.540 --> 00:12:30.139
 and

00:12:30.139 --> 00:12:31.200
 bent

00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:32.100
 their

00:12:32.100 --> 00:12:32.980
 bow

00:12:32.980 --> 00:12:33.820
 to

00:12:33.820 --> 00:12:36.040
 slay.

00:12:36.040 --> 00:12:37.360
 The

00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:39.160
 poor

00:12:39.160 --> 00:12:40.180
 and

00:12:40.179 --> 00:12:41.179
 he

00:12:41.179 --> 00:12:42.179
 thee

00:12:42.179 --> 00:12:43.179
 thee

00:12:43.179 --> 00:12:44.179
 and

00:12:44.179 --> 00:12:45.179
 to

00:12:45.179 --> 00:12:46.179
 kill

00:12:46.179 --> 00:12:47.179
 and

00:12:47.179 --> 00:12:48.179
 all

00:12:48.179 --> 00:12:49.179
 time

00:12:49.179 --> 00:12:50.179
 of

00:12:50.179 --> 00:12:51.179
 night

00:12:51.179 --> 00:12:52.179
 way.

00:12:52.179 --> 00:12:53.179
 But

00:12:53.179 --> 00:12:56.179
 their own

00:12:56.179 --> 00:12:57.179
 sword

00:12:57.179 --> 00:12:58.179
 which

00:12:58.179 --> 00:12:59.179
 they

00:12:59.179 --> 00:13:00.179
 have

00:13:00.179 --> 00:13:01.179
 drawn

00:13:01.179 --> 00:13:03.179
 shall

00:13:03.179 --> 00:13:05.179
 enter

00:13:05.179 --> 00:13:06.179
 their

00:13:06.179 --> 00:13:07.179
 own

00:13:07.179 --> 00:13:08.179
 heart.

00:13:08.179 --> 00:13:10.179
 heart

00:13:10.179 --> 00:13:11.179
 their

00:13:11.179 --> 00:13:12.179
 boat

00:13:12.179 --> 00:13:13.179
 which

00:13:13.179 --> 00:13:14.179
 they

00:13:14.179 --> 00:13:15.179
 have

00:13:15.179 --> 00:13:16.179
 been

00:13:16.179 --> 00:13:17.179
 shall

00:13:17.179 --> 00:13:18.179
 break

00:13:18.179 --> 00:13:19.179
 and

00:13:19.179 --> 00:13:21.179
 into

00:13:21.179 --> 00:13:22.179
 pieces

00:13:22.179 --> 00:13:23.179
 heart.

00:13:23.179 --> 00:13:25.179
 A

00:13:25.179 --> 00:13:27.179
 little

00:13:27.179 --> 00:13:29.179
 that

00:13:29.179 --> 00:13:31.179
 touch

00:13:31.179 --> 00:13:32.179
 that

00:13:32.179 --> 00:13:33.179
 just

00:13:33.179 --> 00:13:34.179
 man

00:13:34.179 --> 00:13:35.179
 have

00:13:35.179 --> 00:13:36.179
 is

00:13:36.179 --> 00:13:37.179
 more

00:13:37.179 --> 00:13:38.179
 and

00:13:38.179 --> 00:13:39.179
 better

00:13:39.179 --> 00:13:41.179
 far

00:13:41.179 --> 00:13:43.179
 than

00:13:44.179 --> 00:13:45.179
 is

00:13:45.179 --> 00:13:46.179
 the

00:13:46.179 --> 00:13:47.179
 wealth

00:13:47.179 --> 00:13:48.179
 of

00:13:48.179 --> 00:13:49.179
 many

00:13:49.179 --> 00:13:50.179
 such

00:13:50.179 --> 00:13:52.179
 as

00:13:52.179 --> 00:13:53.179
 good

00:13:53.179 --> 00:13:54.179
 and

00:13:54.179 --> 00:13:55.179
 we

00:13:55.179 --> 00:13:56.179
 and

00:13:56.179 --> 00:13:57.179
 we

00:13:57.179 --> 00:13:58.179
 have

00:13:58.179 --> 00:13:59.179
 to

00:13:59.179 --> 00:14:00.179
 read

00:14:00.179 --> 00:14:02.179
 God's

00:14:02.179 --> 00:14:03.179
 words

00:14:03.179 --> 00:14:04.179
 which

00:14:04.179 --> 00:14:05.179
 we do

00:14:05.179 --> 00:14:06.179
 in

00:14:06.179 --> 00:14:07.179
 Matthew's

00:14:07.179 --> 00:14:08.179
 Gospel.

00:14:08.179 --> 00:14:09.179
 Matthew

00:14:09.179 --> 00:14:10.179
 chapter

00:14:10.179 --> 00:14:11.179
 27.

00:14:11.179 --> 00:14:12.179
 Matthew

00:14:12.179 --> 00:14:13.179
 27.

00:14:13.179 --> 00:14:14.179
 Matthew

00:14:14.179 --> 00:14:15.179
 27.

00:14:15.179 --> 00:14:16.179
 Reading

00:14:16.179 --> 00:14:18.179
 from

00:14:18.179 --> 00:14:19.179
 the

00:14:19.179 --> 00:14:20.179
 beginning

00:14:20.179 --> 00:14:21.179
 through

00:14:21.179 --> 00:14:22.179
 to

00:14:22.179 --> 00:14:23.179
 verse

00:14:23.179 --> 00:14:24.179
 31.

00:14:24.179 --> 00:14:27.179
 when

00:14:27.179 --> 00:14:28.179
 morning came

00:14:28.179 --> 00:14:29.179
 all the chief priests

00:14:29.179 --> 00:14:30.179
 and the elders of the people

00:14:30.179 --> 00:14:32.179
 took counsel against Jesus

00:14:32.179 --> 00:14:33.179
 to put him to death

00:14:33.179 --> 00:14:36.179
 and they bound him and led him away

00:14:36.179 --> 00:14:38.179
 and delivered him over to Pilate the governor.

00:14:39.179 --> 00:14:44.179
 Then when Judas his betrayer saw that Jesus was condemned

00:14:45.179 --> 00:14:46.179
 he changed his mind

00:14:47.179 --> 00:14:51.179
 and brought back the 30 pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders saying

00:14:51.179 --> 00:14:54.179
 I have sinned by betraying innocent blood.

00:14:54.179 --> 00:14:57.179
 They said what is that to us?

00:14:57.179 --> 00:14:58.179
 See to it yourself.

00:14:59.179 --> 00:15:06.179
 And throwing down the pieces of silver into the temple he departed and he went and hanged himself.

00:15:06.179 --> 00:15:15.179
 But the chief priests taking the pieces of silver said it is not lawful to put them into the treasury since it is blood money.

00:15:15.179 --> 00:15:22.179
 So they took counsel and bought with him the potash field as a burial place for strangers.

00:15:22.179 --> 00:15:28.179
 Therefore that field has been called the field of blood to this day.

00:15:28.179 --> 00:15:33.179
 Then was fulfilled what had been spoken by the prophet Jeremiah saying

00:15:33.179 --> 00:15:42.179
 and they took the 30 pieces of silver the price of him on whom a price had been set by some of the sons of Israel.

00:15:43.179 --> 00:15:47.179
 And they gave them for the potash field as the Lord directed them.

00:15:48.179 --> 00:15:53.179
 Now Jesus stood before the governor and the governor asked him are you the king of the Jews?

00:15:53.179 --> 00:15:57.179
 Jesus said you have said so.

00:15:57.179 --> 00:16:02.179
 But when he was accused by the chief priests and elders he gave no answer.

00:16:02.179 --> 00:16:08.179
 Then Pilate said to him do you not hear how many things they testify against you?

00:16:09.179 --> 00:16:11.179
 But he gave him no answer.

00:16:12.179 --> 00:16:14.179
 Not even to a single charge.

00:16:15.179 --> 00:16:17.179
 So that the governor was greatly amazed.

00:16:17.179 --> 00:16:24.179
 Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release for the crowd any one prisoner whom they wanted.

00:16:25.179 --> 00:16:29.179
 And they had then a notorious prisoner called Barabbas.

00:16:30.179 --> 00:16:35.179
 So when they had gathered Pilate said to them whom do you want me to release for you?

00:16:36.179 --> 00:16:38.179
 Barabbas or Jesus who is called Christ.

00:16:39.179 --> 00:16:43.179
 For he knew that it was out of envy that they had delivered him up.

00:16:43.179 --> 00:16:49.179
 Besides while he was sitting on the judgment seat his wife sent word to him.

00:16:50.179 --> 00:16:52.179
 Have nothing to do with that righteous man.

00:16:53.179 --> 00:16:56.179
 For I have suffered much because of him today in a dream.

00:16:57.179 --> 00:17:04.179
 Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus.

00:17:05.179 --> 00:17:10.179
 The governor again said to them which of the two do you want me to release for you?

00:17:10.180 --> 00:17:12.180
 And they said Barabbas.

00:17:13.180 --> 00:17:18.180
 Pilate said to them then what shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?

00:17:19.180 --> 00:17:21.180
 They all said let him be crucified.

00:17:22.180 --> 00:17:23.180
 And he said why?

00:17:24.180 --> 00:17:26.180
 What evil has he done?

00:17:27.180 --> 00:17:30.180
 But they shouted all the more let him be crucified.

00:17:30.180 --> 00:17:37.180
 So when Pilate saw that he was gaining nothing but rather that a riot was beginning.

00:17:38.180 --> 00:17:43.180
 He took water and washed his hands before the crowd saying I am innocent of this man's blood.

00:17:43.180 --> 00:17:44.180
 See to it your shells.

00:17:45.180 --> 00:17:50.180
 And all the people answered his blood be on us and on our children.

00:17:50.180 --> 00:17:57.180
 Then he released for them Barabbas and having scourged Jesus delivered him to be crucified.

00:17:58.180 --> 00:18:02.180
 Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the governor's headquarters.

00:18:03.180 --> 00:18:05.180
 And they gathered the whole battalion before him.

00:18:06.180 --> 00:18:09.180
 And they stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him.

00:18:10.180 --> 00:18:13.180
 And twisting together a crown of thorns they put it on his head.

00:18:13.180 --> 00:18:15.180
 And put a reed in his right hand.

00:18:16.180 --> 00:18:21.180
 And kneeling before him they mocked him saying hail king of the Jews.

00:18:21.180 --> 00:18:25.180
 And they spat on him and took the reed and struck him on the head.

00:18:26.180 --> 00:18:29.180
 And when they had mocked him they stripped him of the robe.

00:18:30.180 --> 00:18:32.180
 And put his own clothes on him.

00:18:33.180 --> 00:18:35.180
 And led him away to crucify him.

00:18:35.180 --> 00:18:36.180
 And so on. Amen.

00:18:36.180 --> 00:18:40.180
 And may God bless to us this reading of his own holy word.

00:18:41.180 --> 00:18:43.180
 And let us again bow in prayer.

00:18:46.180 --> 00:18:50.180
 Oh Lord we are very conscious that we need you at all times.

00:18:51.180 --> 00:18:53.180
 We have just read your word.

00:18:54.180 --> 00:18:58.180
 And sometimes we find it so difficult to understand and comprehend.

00:18:59.180 --> 00:19:03.180
 That we are reading there of the second person of the Godhead.

00:19:03.180 --> 00:19:06.180
 The one by whom all things were made.

00:19:07.180 --> 00:19:11.580
 And yet we find that he has come as a man into this world.

00:19:12.180 --> 00:19:15.580
 And he has so allowed himself to be brutalized.

00:19:16.180 --> 00:19:19.480
 And so allowed himself to be abused.

00:19:20.180 --> 00:19:25.480
 And he went into the place of sinners to experience the wrath of God.

00:19:26.180 --> 00:19:28.680
 We were remembering this last week.

00:19:29.180 --> 00:19:33.080
 And we give thanks for the opportunity of meeting at the Lord's Supper.

00:19:33.180 --> 00:19:36.180
 We give thanks for the table of the Lord.

00:19:36.180 --> 00:19:40.180
 A time to remember what Jesus has done for us.

00:19:40.180 --> 00:19:44.180
 We are aware that we should be remembering this all the time.

00:19:44.180 --> 00:19:47.180
 But we are so prone to forget.

00:19:47.180 --> 00:19:51.180
 Just like we have our war memorials in the here and there.

00:19:51.180 --> 00:19:55.180
 And the list so often of people who gave their lives.

00:19:55.180 --> 00:20:01.180
 And every so often we do come to remember lest we forget.

00:20:01.180 --> 00:20:06.180
 And it is important that we do when we remember the cost for our freedom.

00:20:06.180 --> 00:20:12.180
 But we remember above all the cost for our spiritual freedom.

00:20:12.180 --> 00:20:15.180
 Our release that was found in Jesus.

00:20:15.180 --> 00:20:21.180
 And so we pray that you will help us and that you will bless us as we come under your word today.

00:20:21.180 --> 00:20:24.180
 Lord, we need you at every step.

00:20:24.180 --> 00:20:26.180
 We need you in our going in and in our going out.

00:20:26.180 --> 00:20:28.180
 In our sitting down and in our rising up.

00:20:28.180 --> 00:20:35.180
 Lord, there are times when we have to confess that we feel self-reliant and self-sufficient.

00:20:35.180 --> 00:20:39.180
 We feel that we are on top of things.

00:20:39.180 --> 00:20:42.180
 And there are times that we might forget you.

00:20:42.180 --> 00:20:47.180
 But Lord, it doesn't take long for that to change.

00:20:47.180 --> 00:20:50.180
 And again, we discover our vulnerability.

00:20:50.180 --> 00:20:53.180
 And we discover that we are not who we thought we were.

00:20:53.180 --> 00:20:57.180
 But we give thanks, Lord, that your ear is open to our cry.

00:20:57.180 --> 00:21:03.180
 And we give thanks, O Lord, that you answer way beyond even what we ask or think.

00:21:03.180 --> 00:21:07.180
 Give us a spiritual eyes to see the answers to prayer.

00:21:07.180 --> 00:21:12.180
 Because so often when we pray, we expect an answer in a particular way.

00:21:12.180 --> 00:21:14.180
 But you often surprise us.

00:21:14.180 --> 00:21:17.180
 You often answer in a different way.

00:21:17.180 --> 00:21:24.180
 In fact, your word says, by fearful works unto their prayers, an answer doth express.

00:21:24.180 --> 00:21:27.180
 And so we must be ready for that.

00:21:27.180 --> 00:21:30.180
 And to realize that your ways are not our ways.

00:21:30.180 --> 00:21:34.180
 So often we stand before the mystery of your providence.

00:21:34.180 --> 00:21:40.180
 And we do have to confess that in this world there will be times that we will never understand.

00:21:40.180 --> 00:21:43.180
 Or be able to comprehend your providence.

00:21:43.180 --> 00:21:46.180
 Because sometimes it is so baffling.

00:21:46.180 --> 00:21:47.180
 It can hurt.

00:21:47.180 --> 00:21:48.180
 It can be so sore.

00:21:48.180 --> 00:21:53.180
 And so we pray, Lord, especially for those today whose hearts are broken.

00:21:53.180 --> 00:21:55.180
 Whose hearts are sore.

00:21:55.180 --> 00:22:00.180
 Those, Lord, who are struggling with the mystery of your providence.

00:22:00.180 --> 00:22:06.180
 And whether it is of recent times or even further away, it's still the same.

00:22:06.180 --> 00:22:07.180
 The pain is still there.

00:22:07.180 --> 00:22:10.180
 And so, Lord, we pray that you'll be gracious.

00:22:10.180 --> 00:22:15.180
 Lord, our God, we pray that you'll bless those who are in need of you today.

00:22:15.180 --> 00:22:19.180
 We remember little Lucy Beth.

00:22:19.180 --> 00:22:21.180
 But we remember all who are in hospital.

00:22:21.180 --> 00:22:23.180
 All who are laid aside at this time.

00:22:23.180 --> 00:22:25.180
 We commit to your care and keeping.

00:22:25.180 --> 00:22:29.180
 Those undergoing treatment or waiting for it or who have had it.

00:22:29.180 --> 00:22:32.180
 Those with regard to surgery.

00:22:32.180 --> 00:22:37.180
 Remember those who are old and no longer able to do for themselves.

00:22:37.180 --> 00:22:44.180
 There's almost a reversal where we go back from being so dependent as little children

00:22:44.180 --> 00:22:47.180
 to a stage in life where we become dependent on others.

00:22:47.180 --> 00:22:52.180
 And, O Lord, our God, help us in all the different stages of our life to look to you

00:22:52.180 --> 00:22:58.180
 and to trust in you so that our dependence will be daily upon the living and through God.

00:22:58.180 --> 00:23:00.180
 Help us to remember that you are our maker.

00:23:00.180 --> 00:23:04.180
 Help us to remember that it is in you that we live, move, and have our being.

00:23:04.180 --> 00:23:09.180
 And so, we ask that you'll be gracious to us and do us good.

00:23:09.180 --> 00:23:15.180
 We pray, Lord, that you will bless all who mourn and all whose hearts are heavy and sore.

00:23:15.180 --> 00:23:17.180
 Do them good. Lift them up, we pray.

00:23:17.180 --> 00:23:20.180
 Lord, we pray to bless us as a nation.

00:23:20.180 --> 00:23:23.180
 We ask for your guidance.

00:23:23.180 --> 00:23:27.180
 We pray for everybody who are in positions of authority in our land.

00:23:27.180 --> 00:23:35.180
 We pray for all who are in government, whether that be in Westminster or in Holyrood or here locally in our council.

00:23:35.180 --> 00:23:37.180
 We ask, Lord, that you'll give wisdom.

00:23:37.180 --> 00:23:43.180
 Leave us not to ourselves because our own judgments are so often not the right judgments.

00:23:43.180 --> 00:23:46.180
 We need the wisdom that is from above.

00:23:46.180 --> 00:23:49.180
 Help us, Lord, so to look.

00:23:49.180 --> 00:23:52.180
 And we give thanks, Lord, for all who do look to you.

00:23:52.180 --> 00:23:57.180
 And we do remember at this time, Kate Forbes, we give thanks for her.

00:23:57.180 --> 00:24:04.180
 And whatever people's political allegiance may be, we give thanks, Lord, for the courage that she has displayed.

00:24:04.180 --> 00:24:09.180
 And we pray, Lord, that you will watch over her and keep her.

00:24:09.180 --> 00:24:18.180
 And in many ways, we have come to see how many do not lay hold upon your word.

00:24:18.180 --> 00:24:27.180
 Because while she spoke, she didn't just speak with regard to herself, but she spoke with regard to what your word says.

00:24:27.180 --> 00:24:34.180
 And it brings us to see how many people cannot stand what your word says or don't believe it.

00:24:34.180 --> 00:24:37.180
 But people don't have a knowledge of your word anymore.

00:24:37.180 --> 00:24:42.180
 Oh, Lord, forgive us as a nation for the way we've turned our back upon you.

00:24:42.180 --> 00:24:51.180
 And so we ask, oh, Lord, that your word might become more prominent so that we may come to discover that it is the way of life.

00:24:51.180 --> 00:24:55.180
 That you are the God who shows us the right way to go.

00:24:55.180 --> 00:25:01.180
 We're commanded to trust in the Lord with all our heart and to lean not to our own understanding.

00:25:01.180 --> 00:25:05.180
 In all our ways to acknowledge you and you will direct our paths.

00:25:05.180 --> 00:25:10.180
 And we couldn't seek anything greater than to have our paths directed from above.

00:25:10.180 --> 00:25:13.180
 So, Lord, we pray to bless us.

00:25:13.180 --> 00:25:19.180
 Bless the nations of this world who remember the Ukraine and think it's over a year of bloodshed.

00:25:19.180 --> 00:25:24.180
 And it's been a hard, a terrible year out there.

00:25:24.180 --> 00:25:34.180
 Oh, Lord, we would long to see peace come when there are those who are just for war, those who do not want peace.

00:25:34.180 --> 00:25:40.180
 Oh, Lord, we pray that you will overrule and overturn and that you will bring peace.

00:25:40.180 --> 00:25:50.180
 Lord, we think of Turkey and Syria and we have to confess how quickly it is that we can forget the harrowing pictures that we see.

00:25:50.180 --> 00:25:54.180
 But, Lord, we know that there is intense and immense suffering.

00:25:54.180 --> 00:25:58.180
 Because lives have been shattered and broken.

00:25:58.180 --> 00:26:02.180
 And we, Lord, ask that you will bring healing and help.

00:26:02.180 --> 00:26:04.180
 And that you will bring provision.

00:26:04.180 --> 00:26:14.180
 And that the structure of cities might be restored so that water will be, the things that we rely on in life will be given.

00:26:14.180 --> 00:26:26.180
 But your word also reminds us that as the end time comes, that there will be wars and rumors of wars, that there will be earthquakes in various places.

00:26:26.180 --> 00:26:28.180
 It's like the very creation that is groaning.

00:26:28.180 --> 00:26:33.180
 And we ourselves are groaning, looking forward to our redemption.

00:26:33.180 --> 00:26:38.180
 Looking forward to, indeed, the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.

00:26:38.180 --> 00:26:41.180
 Watch over us, then, we pray, and do us good.

00:26:41.180 --> 00:26:44.180
 Cleanse us from our every sin, we pray.

00:26:44.180 --> 00:26:46.180
 In Jesus' name we ask it. Amen.

00:26:46.180 --> 00:26:50.180
 We're going to sing now in Psalm 2.

00:26:50.180 --> 00:26:52.180
 And this is from Psalm 2.

00:26:52.180 --> 00:26:58.180
 And we're going to sing verses 1 to 7.

00:26:58.180 --> 00:27:01.180
 Psalm 2, verses 1 to 7.

00:27:01.180 --> 00:27:03.180
 That's on page 2.

00:27:03.180 --> 00:27:05.180
 Why do the heathen rage?

00:27:05.180 --> 00:27:08.180
 Why do the peoples plot in vain?

00:27:08.180 --> 00:27:10.180
 Earth's kings combine in enmity.

00:27:10.180 --> 00:27:13.180
 Her rulers join against God's reign.

00:27:13.180 --> 00:27:18.180
 They take their stand against the Lord and challenge his anointed one.

00:27:18.180 --> 00:27:20.180
 Let us break off their chains from us.

00:27:20.180 --> 00:27:22.180
 With their restraints let us be done.

00:27:22.180 --> 00:27:25.180
 The one enthroned in heaven laughs.

00:27:25.180 --> 00:27:28.180
 The Lord on high derides them all.

00:27:28.180 --> 00:27:32.180
 Then he rebukes them in his wrath, his rage and terror on them fall.

00:27:32.180 --> 00:27:35.180
 The Lord has made it known to them,

00:27:35.180 --> 00:27:38.180
 My chosen king I have installed.

00:27:38.180 --> 00:27:42.180
 On Zion, my own holy hill, he is the one whom I have called.

00:27:42.180 --> 00:27:45.180
 The king then solemnly declares,

00:27:45.180 --> 00:27:47.180
 I will proclaim the Lord's decree.

00:27:47.180 --> 00:27:49.180
 Today your father I become.

00:27:49.180 --> 00:27:52.180
 You are my son, he said to me.

00:27:52.180 --> 00:27:54.180
 Verses 1 to 7, Psalm 2.

00:27:54.180 --> 00:27:55.180
 That's on page 2.

00:27:55.180 --> 00:27:56.180
 And sing Psalms.

00:27:56.180 --> 00:27:59.180
 Why do the heathen nations rage?

00:27:59.180 --> 00:28:14.180
 Why do the people's bought in vain?

00:28:14.180 --> 00:28:30.180
 Earth's kings combine in enmity.

00:28:30.180 --> 00:28:31.180
 And runes on against the Lord.

00:28:31.180 --> 00:28:37.180
 And runes on against the Lord.

00:28:37.180 --> 00:28:57.880
 O day, they take their stand against the Lord, and challenge His annoys Him on.

00:28:57.880 --> 00:29:15.640
 Let us break up their chains from us, with every space let us be done.

00:29:15.640 --> 00:29:33.700
 The one in one in ever last, the Lord Almighty, He hath them all.

00:29:33.700 --> 00:29:50.700
 Then He rebukes them in His path, His rage and terror call them all.

00:29:50.700 --> 00:30:08.700
 The Lord has made it known to them, my chosen King, my half is called.

00:30:08.700 --> 00:30:26.700
 On Zion, I, O holy hill, He is the one whom I have called.

00:30:26.700 --> 00:30:43.700
 The King then solemnly heard, I will proclaim the Lord's decree.

00:30:43.700 --> 00:30:53.440
 To be your Father, I be God.

00:30:53.900 --> 00:31:01.640
 You are my Son, He said to me.

00:31:07.100 --> 00:31:10.160
 Let's turn again to the chapter we read in Matthew 27,

00:31:10.160 --> 00:31:16.960
 and focusing on verse 22, one of the great questions in the Bible.

00:31:18.019 --> 00:31:21.700
 Pilate said to them, Matthew 27, verse 22,

00:31:22.320 --> 00:31:23.460
 Pilate said to them,

00:31:24.160 --> 00:31:28.980
 Then what shall I do with Jesus, who is called Christ?

00:31:30.940 --> 00:31:35.240
 As we know, questions are a vital part of life.

00:31:35.380 --> 00:31:37.300
 Some people are always asking questions.

00:31:37.299 --> 00:31:40.039
 Other people, they hardly ever ask questions.

00:31:40.240 --> 00:31:44.279
 They kind of just take life as it is and just get by like that.

00:31:44.559 --> 00:31:46.519
 Children are always asking questions.

00:31:46.740 --> 00:31:47.960
 It's one of the ways they learn.

00:31:49.539 --> 00:31:52.799
 We often have to ask very important questions in life.

00:31:53.500 --> 00:31:59.879
 And this question that we have here is a question of absolute paramount importance.

00:32:00.960 --> 00:32:05.960
 In fact, probably there's only one other question that is equal in Scripture.

00:32:05.960 --> 00:32:08.940
 And that's a question the Philippian jailer asked.

00:32:09.220 --> 00:32:11.059
 What must I do to be saved?

00:32:11.559 --> 00:32:15.579
 Remember the reply, believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved.

00:32:16.420 --> 00:32:18.299
 And here we have another question.

00:32:19.579 --> 00:32:19.819
 What?

00:32:20.019 --> 00:32:22.579
 That's what the question that Pilate asks here.

00:32:23.160 --> 00:32:24.579
 He's asking this question.

00:32:24.740 --> 00:32:28.360
 What shall I do with Jesus, who is called Christ?

00:32:28.359 --> 00:32:32.119
 Now we could look at this in different ways.

00:32:33.039 --> 00:32:44.299
 We could look at it as if we're going to examine exactly these words as to who Jesus is and Christ and all that that involves and entails.

00:32:44.459 --> 00:32:46.419
 And that would take up a whole sermon in itself.

00:32:47.579 --> 00:32:57.539
 We could look at it focusing on the choice that is made between Barabbas and Jesus because that's what prompts the question from Pilate.

00:32:57.539 --> 00:33:02.559
 But it's a question that everybody has to answer.

00:33:03.420 --> 00:33:11.440
 Because whether a person vocally asks it, it's a question that Jesus is asking of everybody.

00:33:12.099 --> 00:33:15.299
 What are you going to do with me?

00:33:16.200 --> 00:33:18.480
 That's a question Jesus asks worldwide.

00:33:18.899 --> 00:33:21.519
 Not just here today, but everywhere.

00:33:21.519 --> 00:33:33.279
 Because every single person is one day going to have to come before Jesus and give an account of what they did, of how they answered that question in this world.

00:33:34.139 --> 00:33:36.019
 That's quite a searching, solemn thought.

00:33:36.019 --> 00:33:47.460
 And just in light of the communion, I was thinking last week we actually read this chapter, that great question, what shall I do with Jesus?

00:33:47.579 --> 00:33:52.740
 Because we had our communion, we had our wonderful communion last Lord's Day.

00:33:53.940 --> 00:33:57.720
 And the Sunday morning was a beautiful morning.

00:33:57.720 --> 00:34:00.600
 But that question is asked.

00:34:00.900 --> 00:34:09.659
 And I would urge any here today who were here last week, or even if you weren't here last week, what are you doing with Jesus?

00:34:09.820 --> 00:34:14.099
 Because, you know, the communion is such a special time, such an important time.

00:34:14.679 --> 00:34:17.119
 It's a time where Jesus is specially present.

00:34:18.400 --> 00:34:21.400
 And to let that slip, to let it go by.

00:34:21.400 --> 00:34:21.440
 Why?

00:34:22.119 --> 00:34:25.660
 Because a lot of people say, oh, you know, it's time I came out on the Lord's side.

00:34:26.820 --> 00:34:27.840
 Well, it is.

00:34:28.720 --> 00:34:34.139
 Because it's one of the worst things of your heart is towards the Lord and for the Lord.

00:34:34.840 --> 00:34:39.240
 And you're wanting, you're saying to yourself, you know, it's one of the things I hope before I leave this world.

00:34:39.300 --> 00:34:41.200
 I want to take my place at the Lord's table.

00:34:41.519 --> 00:34:45.460
 I want to confess and show that Jesus means a lot to me.

00:34:45.519 --> 00:34:46.760
 He means everything to me.

00:34:46.760 --> 00:34:49.720
 Well, you see, we're not in charge.

00:34:49.860 --> 00:34:52.400
 We're not in control of our lives.

00:34:52.500 --> 00:34:55.260
 We don't know when one day we'll be taken away.

00:34:55.740 --> 00:34:59.500
 So it's imperative that we don't let these opportunities slip.

00:34:59.700 --> 00:35:04.020
 So if Jesus is your Lord, then come out on his side.

00:35:04.140 --> 00:35:05.160
 Make it clear.

00:35:05.300 --> 00:35:06.240
 What must I do?

00:35:06.380 --> 00:35:07.760
 What will I do with Jesus?

00:35:07.760 --> 00:35:17.160
 But this morning, what I want us to look at is just how different people reacted to Jesus that we find in this chapter.

00:35:17.440 --> 00:35:26.280
 Because it tells us through that the different responses that go on in people's lives towards the Lord Jesus Christ.

00:35:27.320 --> 00:35:30.700
 And the first group that we see here are the chief priests and the elders.

00:35:30.699 --> 00:35:38.179
 And for a long time, we know exactly what their response was to Jesus, what they wanted to do with Jesus.

00:35:39.379 --> 00:35:41.519
 You know, every picture tells a story.

00:35:42.219 --> 00:35:45.599
 And we see that in the previous chapter.

00:35:45.939 --> 00:35:49.559
 And we see of just the way they treated Jesus.

00:35:49.559 --> 00:35:54.840
 And we see it also in this chapter.

00:35:55.699 --> 00:36:00.139
 We see of how they abused him and of how they hit him and they smote him.

00:36:00.340 --> 00:36:04.440
 And they were so filled with spite against him.

00:36:05.039 --> 00:36:09.219
 And they hated him because he claimed to be the son of God.

00:36:09.840 --> 00:36:12.840
 And to them, that was utter blasphemy.

00:36:13.840 --> 00:36:15.259
 They saw him as an imposter.

00:36:15.260 --> 00:36:20.660
 And they were saying, how dare he claim to be the son of God.

00:36:21.760 --> 00:36:23.860
 And you know, it's quite extraordinary.

00:36:24.220 --> 00:36:25.540
 They didn't understand.

00:36:26.340 --> 00:36:36.720
 And if any group of people should have understood that this was the son of God, that this was the Messiah, it was these men.

00:36:37.360 --> 00:36:39.400
 Because they were the studiers of the law.

00:36:39.480 --> 00:36:41.480
 They spent their day studying the law.

00:36:41.480 --> 00:36:45.380
 It wasn't that Jesus just arrived all of a sudden on the scene.

00:36:46.519 --> 00:36:48.740
 They had the whole of the Old Testament.

00:36:49.460 --> 00:36:51.099
 And it was their daily study.

00:36:52.260 --> 00:36:58.000
 And if any people should have been prepared and come to understand that this is the Messiah.

00:36:58.480 --> 00:37:05.119
 Because Jesus, he said to them often enough, the scripture is being fulfilled right before you.

00:37:06.420 --> 00:37:07.659
 But you know that problem?

00:37:08.260 --> 00:37:09.340
 They were prejudiced.

00:37:09.940 --> 00:37:10.760
 They were bigoted.

00:37:11.580 --> 00:37:13.180
 They had their own mind set.

00:37:13.620 --> 00:37:17.760
 And they refused to believe what was staring them in the eyes.

00:37:18.680 --> 00:37:20.200
 And you know, that is often the case.

00:37:20.280 --> 00:37:21.880
 That's often how it is with people.

00:37:23.400 --> 00:37:27.600
 You know, you've got to remember, these are people who lived by the law.

00:37:28.540 --> 00:37:31.420
 And the Pharisees, and this is what makes it so sad.

00:37:32.200 --> 00:37:35.680
 The Pharisees, they wanted to be right with God.

00:37:36.340 --> 00:37:38.340
 They had this idea, but they didn't know God.

00:37:38.340 --> 00:37:41.640
 They didn't know the God that was revealed in the word.

00:37:41.639 --> 00:37:45.239
 But they lived by the law.

00:37:45.239 --> 00:37:55.859
 And what they did was, in order to try and be right with God, they added law after law after law upon the law of God.

00:37:55.860 --> 00:37:59.640
 And in fact, life became intolerable.

00:37:59.640 --> 00:38:03.640
 They didn't know anything of the strength of the Lord.

00:38:03.860 --> 00:38:05.740
 They didn't know the joy of the Lord.

00:38:05.739 --> 00:38:09.179
 They didn't know his grace, his freedom, his love.

00:38:09.779 --> 00:38:12.399
 They were just bound by all these laws.

00:38:12.739 --> 00:38:15.119
 And they were adding and adding and adding to laws.

00:38:15.119 --> 00:38:18.699
 And it became an intolerable burden for everybody.

00:38:19.619 --> 00:38:23.819
 Now, when Jesus came, he didn't listen to their man-made laws.

00:38:24.039 --> 00:38:26.299
 Yes, he kept the law of God perfectly.

00:38:27.239 --> 00:38:28.380
 But not their laws.

00:38:29.179 --> 00:38:30.119
 And they couldn't bear him.

00:38:30.259 --> 00:38:33.380
 They were incensed by him.

00:38:33.380 --> 00:38:42.300
 And so they saw him as a massive threat to their authority, to their power, and to their control.

00:38:43.860 --> 00:38:46.800
 And, you know, that's part of the great problem.

00:38:46.900 --> 00:38:55.380
 You look right around the world, and you can see to yourself nearly all the problems that are happening in this world.

00:38:55.380 --> 00:39:08.079
 Certainly at political levels, at government levels, throughout with different countries, often comes down to this power, control, authority.

00:39:09.019 --> 00:39:09.820
 People want it.

00:39:10.340 --> 00:39:12.019
 But it's not just on a large scale.

00:39:12.340 --> 00:39:15.420
 You look at all the problems in a home.

00:39:16.599 --> 00:39:19.420
 If there are problems in a home, it often comes down to these things.

00:39:19.840 --> 00:39:22.140
 Wanting power, wanting control, wanting authority.

00:39:22.700 --> 00:39:23.820
 It's the same within churches.

00:39:23.820 --> 00:39:28.780
 It's the reason why there's been so many divisions in churches down throughout the years.

00:39:29.200 --> 00:39:30.840
 Power, authority, control.

00:39:31.920 --> 00:39:33.420
 It's the same within communities.

00:39:33.620 --> 00:39:34.780
 It's the same within councils.

00:39:35.080 --> 00:39:36.200
 It's the same in the workplace.

00:39:37.080 --> 00:39:38.600
 It's the same within countries.

00:39:39.340 --> 00:39:40.960
 It's all about power.

00:39:41.160 --> 00:39:44.039
 You look at all the wars are taking place.

00:39:45.580 --> 00:39:47.760
 And this is what was happening to these people there.

00:39:47.760 --> 00:39:51.820
 They were losing their power and their authority.

00:39:51.820 --> 00:39:55.740
 Because Jesus was somebody that the people loved.

00:39:56.200 --> 00:40:01.800
 It tells us that they were saying of Jesus, this man speaks with an authority.

00:40:01.960 --> 00:40:04.280
 Not like the scribes or the Pharisees.

00:40:04.780 --> 00:40:05.840
 And that did their head in.

00:40:06.300 --> 00:40:07.320
 They didn't like that.

00:40:07.820 --> 00:40:09.780
 Because they thought they were the power.

00:40:09.880 --> 00:40:10.840
 They were in control.

00:40:10.840 --> 00:40:13.200
 And so they wanted rid of Jesus.

00:40:14.260 --> 00:40:20.740
 And you see, Jesus was exposing, really, he was exposing what they were like.

00:40:21.579 --> 00:40:22.620
 And they got angry.

00:40:22.760 --> 00:40:31.840
 You know, I often think, I might be wrong, but sometimes when you see people who are really angry against Christianity.

00:40:31.840 --> 00:40:35.840
 Who are really angry against the Christian faith.

00:40:36.200 --> 00:40:38.200
 And I say to myself, why are they so angry?

00:40:39.500 --> 00:40:42.100
 You know, there's a lot of people, they don't think anything of it.

00:40:42.340 --> 00:40:45.220
 They just shrug their shoulders and let it pass by.

00:40:45.640 --> 00:40:48.440
 But some people get really hot under the collar and angry.

00:40:48.860 --> 00:40:50.019
 And they want rid of the Bible.

00:40:50.140 --> 00:40:51.079
 They want rid of Sundays.

00:40:51.220 --> 00:40:52.220
 And they want rid of everything.

00:40:52.340 --> 00:40:52.660
 Why?

00:40:52.659 --> 00:40:59.299
 Well, I often think because our wrong air deep down has been struck.

00:40:59.559 --> 00:41:01.440
 They might not recognize it or know it.

00:41:02.819 --> 00:41:08.879
 Why is there, why has an anger been provoked in so many people against the Bible?

00:41:10.179 --> 00:41:16.379
 Well, I think the only logical thing is that our wrong air has been struck.

00:41:17.219 --> 00:41:18.799
 And people may not realize it.

00:41:18.800 --> 00:41:26.660
 But why do you want to remove and eradicate the Bible and Christianity unless it's bothering you?

00:41:27.680 --> 00:41:29.780
 And if it's bothering you, why is it bothering?

00:41:30.740 --> 00:41:35.840
 Because it's God's voice pushing down into the heart.

00:41:36.100 --> 00:41:36.920
 That's why.

00:41:37.980 --> 00:41:40.420
 And that's why these people, they had to get rid of Jesus.

00:41:40.580 --> 00:41:42.660
 Because he was provoking them.

00:41:43.320 --> 00:41:45.820
 And they were not measuring up to what he was saying.

00:41:45.820 --> 00:41:49.260
 And so they had to get rid of him.

00:41:51.059 --> 00:41:52.140
 But there was another reason.

00:41:52.380 --> 00:41:54.240
 And Pilate figured it out right away.

00:41:54.840 --> 00:41:57.440
 And we read of that in verse 18.

00:41:57.680 --> 00:42:01.620
 Pilate recognized that they had delivered him up because of envy.

00:42:02.500 --> 00:42:03.940
 They were envious of him.

00:42:05.000 --> 00:42:08.700
 And side by side with the desire for power and control,

00:42:09.800 --> 00:42:14.800
 envy is a cancer that causes no end of heartache.

00:42:14.800 --> 00:42:17.740
 Remember that envy is murderous.

00:42:18.440 --> 00:42:21.980
 And if you discern envy within your own heart,

00:42:22.080 --> 00:42:23.720
 ask the Lord to deliver you from it.

00:42:24.700 --> 00:42:27.580
 Because envy can parade itself in all kinds of masks

00:42:27.580 --> 00:42:30.620
 and try to shield it and cover it and let out.

00:42:30.740 --> 00:42:31.900
 You're not envious at all.

00:42:32.460 --> 00:42:35.380
 But Pilate knew they had delivered Jesus up because of envy.

00:42:35.480 --> 00:42:36.600
 They were jealous of him.

00:42:37.780 --> 00:42:39.519
 And you look out through the Bible.

00:42:39.640 --> 00:42:40.660
 We've said it before.

00:42:42.660 --> 00:42:44.340
 Envy equals murder.

00:42:44.800 --> 00:42:50.600
 Cain was envious of his brother Abel.

00:42:50.800 --> 00:42:51.420
 And he killed him.

00:42:52.960 --> 00:42:55.360
 Joseph's brothers were envious of Joseph.

00:42:56.039 --> 00:42:57.620
 And so they sold him as a slave.

00:42:59.100 --> 00:43:01.220
 Saul was envious of David.

00:43:01.860 --> 00:43:03.200
 And he tried to kill him.

00:43:03.199 --> 00:43:10.439
 Those in the days of Daniel were envious of his position before the king.

00:43:10.939 --> 00:43:13.519
 And so they had him thrown into the den of lions.

00:43:15.119 --> 00:43:16.359
 Envy is no little thing.

00:43:17.319 --> 00:43:18.980
 Its end is death.

00:43:19.719 --> 00:43:21.019
 And here is Jesus.

00:43:21.719 --> 00:43:24.339
 And he's been delivered up because of envy.

00:43:24.340 --> 00:43:31.780
 I wonder how much heartache throughout people's lives have been brought about

00:43:31.780 --> 00:43:36.320
 because one person is jealous of another.

00:43:37.400 --> 00:43:38.559
 Pray against it.

00:43:38.559 --> 00:43:44.320
 And I wonder how much problems have been caused in the church because of it.

00:43:44.559 --> 00:43:45.639
 I said this before.

00:43:45.639 --> 00:43:49.819
 I remember in college the late Professor Douglas MacMillan saying to us,

00:43:50.639 --> 00:43:56.539
 make sure, brothers, that you pray daily when you get out into the ministry

00:43:56.539 --> 00:44:02.059
 that you will never be envious or jealous of another of your fellow ministers

00:44:02.059 --> 00:44:04.879
 because he said it causes problems.

00:44:04.880 --> 00:44:06.840
 And you know it's true.

00:44:07.619 --> 00:44:09.619
 Being jealous of somebody else.

00:44:10.360 --> 00:44:15.079
 It can cause all because the moment that jealousy in the heart,

00:44:15.180 --> 00:44:18.200
 once it starts to break out into action,

00:44:18.840 --> 00:44:21.320
 then it causes all kinds of problems.

00:44:22.340 --> 00:44:28.420
 So we see that they had given him up because of envy.

00:44:29.619 --> 00:44:30.700
 Move on very quickly.

00:44:30.820 --> 00:44:32.160
 We see there's another person here,

00:44:32.160 --> 00:44:34.059
 and he features at the very beginning of the chapter,

00:44:34.059 --> 00:44:35.400
 well, from verse 3 on.

00:44:35.719 --> 00:44:36.380
 And that's Judas.

00:44:37.460 --> 00:44:39.659
 And Judas had this question as well.

00:44:39.739 --> 00:44:41.159
 What will I do with Jesus?

00:44:42.440 --> 00:44:46.559
 You see, Judas stands as one of the most solemn warnings in Scripture

00:44:46.559 --> 00:44:50.159
 because here was a man who began so well.

00:44:50.900 --> 00:44:53.019
 In fact, he was one of the men that Jesus chose.

00:44:53.880 --> 00:44:57.139
 A man that went with Jesus for three years,

00:44:57.239 --> 00:45:00.179
 the three greatest years this world ever saw.

00:45:00.179 --> 00:45:06.239
 Where Jesus went about healing, preaching, teaching, interacting with people,

00:45:06.319 --> 00:45:07.980
 the son of God in our nature.

00:45:08.719 --> 00:45:10.299
 Judas went everywhere with Jesus.

00:45:11.440 --> 00:45:16.379
 In fact, it would appear that Judas was quite a shrewd, smart character

00:45:16.379 --> 00:45:18.059
 because he was given the bag.

00:45:18.119 --> 00:45:20.339
 In other words, he was a treasurer amongst the disciples.

00:45:21.000 --> 00:45:22.839
 He was given a position of privilege.

00:45:22.840 --> 00:45:28.400
 And at no point along the way did the other disciples think

00:45:28.400 --> 00:45:31.880
 that Judas was going to turn out the way he did.

00:45:32.680 --> 00:45:34.280
 Because when Jesus said,

00:45:34.820 --> 00:45:36.740
 one of you is going to betray me,

00:45:37.340 --> 00:45:38.960
 none of them automatically said,

00:45:39.180 --> 00:45:40.140
 oh, that'll be Judas.

00:45:40.740 --> 00:45:41.720
 Didn't think like that.

00:45:41.920 --> 00:45:45.180
 Because Judas appeared just to be the same as all of them.

00:45:45.179 --> 00:45:47.799
 But the problem was Judas,

00:45:48.679 --> 00:45:51.239
 although Judas wasn't,

00:45:51.419 --> 00:45:55.980
 I've seen a painting where Judas is looking like this really sinister, horrible character.

00:45:56.259 --> 00:45:58.339
 He would have looked just the very same as the others.

00:45:58.440 --> 00:45:59.960
 He would have appeared the same.

00:46:00.099 --> 00:46:04.199
 There was nothing differentiating Judas except in his heart,

00:46:04.839 --> 00:46:07.079
 which Jesus read and Jesus saw.

00:46:07.379 --> 00:46:09.019
 And Jesus said, one of you is a devil.

00:46:09.559 --> 00:46:10.480
 Again, none of them.

00:46:11.159 --> 00:46:12.119
 One of you has a devil.

00:46:12.219 --> 00:46:13.579
 None of them thought, oh, I'll be Judas.

00:46:13.579 --> 00:46:16.259
 But the problem with Judas,

00:46:16.420 --> 00:46:18.599
 he had a rival to Jesus in the heart.

00:46:19.019 --> 00:46:19.739
 And that was money.

00:46:20.719 --> 00:46:22.579
 And it tells us that he was a thief

00:46:22.579 --> 00:46:24.599
 because he used to dip into the bag,

00:46:25.360 --> 00:46:26.699
 the money bag that they had.

00:46:26.759 --> 00:46:27.699
 He used to help himself.

00:46:28.559 --> 00:46:29.860
 That's what scripture tells us.

00:46:30.699 --> 00:46:33.880
 So you see, money was an ongoing problem in Judas' life.

00:46:35.139 --> 00:46:38.139
 And there came a day when Judas had to make a decision.

00:46:39.219 --> 00:46:41.519
 Is it this money that I love or is it Jesus?

00:46:41.519 --> 00:46:45.000
 And you see, the problem of money is our God,

00:46:45.099 --> 00:46:46.059
 or money is our goal.

00:46:46.139 --> 00:46:47.659
 We can never, ever, ever get enough.

00:46:48.059 --> 00:46:49.119
 It doesn't matter how much you have.

00:46:49.139 --> 00:46:49.780
 You have to have more.

00:46:50.579 --> 00:46:51.860
 And that was the problem with Judas.

00:46:52.880 --> 00:46:53.840
 He needed more.

00:46:54.679 --> 00:46:57.840
 And so when the opportunity came for 30 pieces of silver

00:46:57.840 --> 00:46:59.539
 to betray Jesus,

00:47:01.159 --> 00:47:03.519
 and much on all, though I believe Judas liked Jesus,

00:47:04.360 --> 00:47:05.139
 he didn't love him,

00:47:05.519 --> 00:47:06.199
 all his heart,

00:47:06.199 --> 00:47:07.819
 but he liked Jesus,

00:47:08.460 --> 00:47:10.500
 it came to the point where he said,

00:47:10.619 --> 00:47:12.739
 no, I'm betraying Jesus.

00:47:13.419 --> 00:47:14.019
 Money won.

00:47:15.059 --> 00:47:16.859
 And you know, we've got to watch against that.

00:47:17.919 --> 00:47:20.719
 Because what Jesus tells us,

00:47:21.239 --> 00:47:22.859
 what will it profit a person

00:47:22.859 --> 00:47:26.099
 if he gains the whole world

00:47:26.099 --> 00:47:28.059
 and loses his soul?

00:47:28.399 --> 00:47:31.119
 A person could amass the greatest fortune possible.

00:47:31.119 --> 00:47:32.920
 And we know we live in a day

00:47:32.920 --> 00:47:35.500
 where there are people who are multi-billionaires.

00:47:36.179 --> 00:47:37.579
 But if you lose your soul,

00:47:37.679 --> 00:47:38.019
 what is it?

00:47:38.359 --> 00:47:39.239
 It counts for nothing.

00:47:40.239 --> 00:47:43.079
 It's a solemn, solemn warning to us all.

00:47:44.259 --> 00:47:46.900
 This is what happened in the life of Judas,

00:47:47.480 --> 00:47:50.199
 that money became more important to him

00:47:50.199 --> 00:47:53.019
 at the end of the day than Jesus did.

00:47:53.019 --> 00:47:59.059
 And it's, as I say,

00:47:59.159 --> 00:48:03.519
 it's one of the most solemn thoughts in our life

00:48:03.519 --> 00:48:07.480
 where we can find that we would be prepared

00:48:07.480 --> 00:48:08.920
 to sell Jesus.

00:48:09.059 --> 00:48:10.280
 I think that there are people

00:48:10.280 --> 00:48:12.519
 who would probably do that.

00:48:13.139 --> 00:48:14.300
 There are probably people who,

00:48:14.900 --> 00:48:16.219
 in order to get on in the world,

00:48:16.320 --> 00:48:17.719
 are prepared to sell their soul

00:48:17.719 --> 00:48:20.139
 in order to make it.

00:48:20.139 --> 00:48:21.119
 to make it.

00:48:22.299 --> 00:48:23.719
 Well, Judas stands

00:48:23.719 --> 00:48:25.900
 as one of the grimmest warnings.

00:48:27.159 --> 00:48:28.819
 Because we see the end of Judas

00:48:28.819 --> 00:48:30.920
 when he answered the question,

00:48:31.019 --> 00:48:32.099
 what will I do with Jesus?

00:48:32.199 --> 00:48:33.839
 But then, again, very briefly,

00:48:34.000 --> 00:48:36.299
 the man who actually asks the question,

00:48:36.420 --> 00:48:37.199
 who is Pilate,

00:48:37.659 --> 00:48:38.420
 Pilate says,

00:48:39.179 --> 00:48:40.940
 what shall I do with Jesus,

00:48:41.059 --> 00:48:42.379
 who is called the Christ?

00:48:42.799 --> 00:48:43.639
 Because he recognizes

00:48:43.639 --> 00:48:44.859
 something has to be done.

00:48:46.259 --> 00:48:48.519
 And Pilate is facing this great dilemma

00:48:48.519 --> 00:48:51.139
 because as Pilate looks at Jesus,

00:48:52.059 --> 00:48:54.659
 he recognizes that standing before him

00:48:54.659 --> 00:48:56.480
 is an innocent man.

00:48:58.119 --> 00:48:59.559
 Now, Pilate isn't a good man.

00:49:00.619 --> 00:49:01.679
 History will show us

00:49:01.679 --> 00:49:02.940
 the kind of person that he was.

00:49:03.820 --> 00:49:04.920
 Pilate is a politician.

00:49:05.179 --> 00:49:06.480
 Pilate is the kind of person

00:49:06.480 --> 00:49:09.480
 who he will do what favors himself

00:49:09.480 --> 00:49:10.579
 at the end of the day.

00:49:12.280 --> 00:49:14.019
 But he represented the law.

00:49:14.679 --> 00:49:15.639
 He stood for the government.

00:49:15.639 --> 00:49:16.659
 He stood for the law.

00:49:16.759 --> 00:49:19.139
 He stood for what was right

00:49:19.139 --> 00:49:21.259
 or supposed to be right.

00:49:21.659 --> 00:49:23.339
 And Pilate knew that the correct decision

00:49:23.339 --> 00:49:24.059
 at that moment

00:49:24.059 --> 00:49:25.480
 was to release Jesus,

00:49:25.619 --> 00:49:26.159
 let him go.

00:49:27.420 --> 00:49:28.699
 But Pilate had a problem

00:49:28.699 --> 00:49:30.940
 because there was a big crowd

00:49:30.940 --> 00:49:31.859
 in front of him

00:49:31.859 --> 00:49:33.539
 that were demanding

00:49:33.539 --> 00:49:34.679
 the death of Jesus.

00:49:34.779 --> 00:49:35.759
 Not just any death,

00:49:36.239 --> 00:49:37.699
 but the worst death possible

00:49:37.699 --> 00:49:39.279
 reserved for slaves

00:49:39.279 --> 00:49:40.379
 and criminals,

00:49:40.559 --> 00:49:41.239
 crucifixion.

00:49:41.239 --> 00:49:45.099
 Pilate's wife came to him

00:49:45.099 --> 00:49:46.979
 and he said to Pilate,

00:49:47.199 --> 00:49:47.379
 listen,

00:49:47.899 --> 00:49:48.919
 whatever you do,

00:49:49.079 --> 00:49:50.639
 do not condemn that man.

00:49:50.979 --> 00:49:52.319
 I had a dream about him

00:49:52.319 --> 00:49:54.299
 and she called Jesus

00:49:54.299 --> 00:49:55.799
 a righteous man.

00:49:57.179 --> 00:49:58.039
 Got to let him go.

00:49:59.699 --> 00:50:01.319
 And Pilate knew what was right.

00:50:02.559 --> 00:50:04.859
 And so he's facing this dilemma

00:50:04.859 --> 00:50:05.599
 and he tries,

00:50:05.699 --> 00:50:06.179
 first of all,

00:50:06.219 --> 00:50:07.119
 evasive action.

00:50:07.119 --> 00:50:09.980
 And he tries a bit of compromise

00:50:09.980 --> 00:50:10.480
 and he thought,

00:50:10.559 --> 00:50:10.659
 right,

00:50:10.719 --> 00:50:11.460
 this is what I'll do.

00:50:11.500 --> 00:50:12.719
 I'll get this guy, Barabbas,

00:50:13.139 --> 00:50:14.219
 one of the worst going,

00:50:14.339 --> 00:50:15.420
 a notorious terrorist.

00:50:15.719 --> 00:50:17.039
 You could term him that.

00:50:17.359 --> 00:50:21.119
 He was a notorious disruptor

00:50:21.119 --> 00:50:22.440
 of the society.

00:50:22.880 --> 00:50:23.659
 He was in prison.

00:50:24.440 --> 00:50:26.819
 I'll get one of the worst guys possible

00:50:26.819 --> 00:50:28.519
 and I'll put him against Jesus.

00:50:29.019 --> 00:50:30.819
 It's obvious who they'll in the end go for.

00:50:30.900 --> 00:50:32.839
 They're not going to pick Barabbas.

00:50:33.319 --> 00:50:35.679
 So he's trying to evasive action.

00:50:35.679 --> 00:50:37.719
 What does the crowd do?

00:50:38.059 --> 00:50:39.219
 They call for Barabbas.

00:50:39.259 --> 00:50:40.480
 He wasn't expecting that.

00:50:42.659 --> 00:50:44.000
 And so he's facing this dilemma.

00:50:44.159 --> 00:50:44.399
 And you know,

00:50:44.460 --> 00:50:45.639
 there's a lot of people in life

00:50:45.639 --> 00:50:47.000
 try the evasive action

00:50:47.000 --> 00:50:48.219
 with regard to the gospel.

00:50:48.899 --> 00:50:49.059
 You know,

00:50:49.099 --> 00:50:49.699
 some people,

00:50:50.339 --> 00:50:50.719
 I say,

00:50:51.019 --> 00:50:52.779
 they've grown up maybe under the gospel

00:50:52.779 --> 00:50:53.899
 and as time goes on,

00:50:54.019 --> 00:50:56.159
 their conscience begins to bother them.

00:50:56.679 --> 00:50:57.940
 Maybe they'll send their children

00:50:57.940 --> 00:50:58.719
 to Sunday school.

00:50:58.799 --> 00:50:59.919
 They don't come themselves.

00:51:00.919 --> 00:51:01.179
 And you know,

00:51:01.199 --> 00:51:02.419
 it's one of the wonderful things

00:51:02.419 --> 00:51:04.440
 to see so many children

00:51:04.440 --> 00:51:07.059
 and so many parents coming to church.

00:51:08.539 --> 00:51:09.360
 That aside,

00:51:09.700 --> 00:51:11.179
 but then people sometimes say,

00:51:11.320 --> 00:51:11.740
 they'll try,

00:51:12.320 --> 00:51:12.740
 what they'll do,

00:51:12.800 --> 00:51:14.260
 they'll come to church now and again

00:51:14.260 --> 00:51:15.400
 and they'll say,

00:51:15.480 --> 00:51:15.579
 well,

00:51:15.619 --> 00:51:16.880
 God will be happy with that.

00:51:17.480 --> 00:51:18.619
 But then the rest of the time

00:51:18.619 --> 00:51:19.360
 they don't think

00:51:19.360 --> 00:51:21.559
 and they're trying to compromise.

00:51:21.820 --> 00:51:22.599
 They're trying to sort of

00:51:22.599 --> 00:51:24.119
 have a wee bit of a religious side

00:51:24.119 --> 00:51:25.200
 to keep God happy

00:51:25.199 --> 00:51:26.439
 and they're trying then

00:51:26.439 --> 00:51:28.460
 just to live the other way

00:51:28.460 --> 00:51:29.039
 any,

00:51:29.179 --> 00:51:30.099
 the rest of the time.

00:51:30.299 --> 00:51:31.419
 It doesn't work like that.

00:51:31.739 --> 00:51:31.859
 See,

00:51:31.939 --> 00:51:32.639
 there's no,

00:51:33.960 --> 00:51:34.739
 in battle,

00:51:34.819 --> 00:51:36.480
 they talk of no man's land.

00:51:36.819 --> 00:51:37.699
 There doesn't exist

00:51:37.699 --> 00:51:38.819
 a no man's land

00:51:38.819 --> 00:51:40.199
 in the Christian faith.

00:51:40.960 --> 00:51:41.939
 You're either with the Lord

00:51:41.939 --> 00:51:42.879
 or you're against Him.

00:51:43.719 --> 00:51:44.579
 You're either for Him

00:51:44.579 --> 00:51:45.339
 or you're against Him.

00:51:45.379 --> 00:51:46.219
 There's no in between.

00:51:47.559 --> 00:51:48.279
 You're either there

00:51:48.279 --> 00:51:48.859
 or you're not.

00:51:48.860 --> 00:51:52.740
 And so it's important

00:51:52.740 --> 00:51:54.579
 that we nail our colors

00:51:54.579 --> 00:51:55.559
 to the mast.

00:51:57.120 --> 00:51:58.780
 So Pilate is facing a problem.

00:51:59.660 --> 00:51:59.920
 In fact,

00:51:59.960 --> 00:52:01.500
 even as Jesus scourged,

00:52:01.599 --> 00:52:02.360
 a Roman flogging

00:52:02.360 --> 00:52:03.380
 was a fearful thing.

00:52:04.440 --> 00:52:05.200
 And I think he thought

00:52:05.200 --> 00:52:06.480
 that through all these things

00:52:06.480 --> 00:52:06.900
 they'll say,

00:52:06.980 --> 00:52:07.059
 no,

00:52:07.120 --> 00:52:07.640
 let him go.

00:52:08.539 --> 00:52:09.079
 But no,

00:52:09.480 --> 00:52:10.039
 they don't.

00:52:11.140 --> 00:52:11.940
 And at the end,

00:52:12.079 --> 00:52:12.519
 Pilate,

00:52:13.420 --> 00:52:14.420
 he gives in

00:52:14.420 --> 00:52:16.039
 because he doesn't want

00:52:16.039 --> 00:52:17.200
 to lose his popularity.

00:52:17.200 --> 00:52:18.360
 He doesn't want to lose

00:52:18.360 --> 00:52:19.160
 face.

00:52:20.240 --> 00:52:21.599
 That's more important to him

00:52:21.599 --> 00:52:22.640
 than doing what is right.

00:52:23.760 --> 00:52:24.700
 I wonder how many people

00:52:24.700 --> 00:52:25.860
 have done that in life.

00:52:26.620 --> 00:52:27.760
 You know the right decision.

00:52:27.920 --> 00:52:28.800
 You know what's right.

00:52:29.660 --> 00:52:31.140
 But you take the other way

00:52:31.140 --> 00:52:33.900
 because you want

00:52:33.900 --> 00:52:34.800
 the praise of man

00:52:34.800 --> 00:52:36.220
 more than the praise of God.

00:52:36.700 --> 00:52:37.480
 That's what it said

00:52:37.480 --> 00:52:39.420
 about some of the people

00:52:39.420 --> 00:52:40.539
 who were following Jesus

00:52:40.539 --> 00:52:41.780
 secretly in the day.

00:52:42.220 --> 00:52:43.519
 They didn't want it

00:52:43.519 --> 00:52:44.320
 to be discovered

00:52:44.320 --> 00:52:45.240
 that they were followers

00:52:45.240 --> 00:52:45.880
 of Jesus

00:52:45.880 --> 00:52:46.800
 because they might have been

00:52:46.800 --> 00:52:47.840
 thrown out of the synagogue.

00:52:48.360 --> 00:52:49.400
 And they loved the praise

00:52:49.400 --> 00:52:50.200
 of men more than

00:52:50.200 --> 00:52:51.300
 the praise of God.

00:52:52.480 --> 00:52:53.180
 It still happens

00:52:53.180 --> 00:52:53.940
 to this day.

00:52:55.000 --> 00:52:55.120
 Well,

00:52:55.140 --> 00:52:55.740
 that's where the kind

00:52:55.740 --> 00:52:57.099
 of person Pilate was.

00:52:58.240 --> 00:52:59.480
 He preferred to do

00:52:59.480 --> 00:53:03.180
 what was going to grant

00:53:03.180 --> 00:53:04.400
 him favor with people

00:53:04.400 --> 00:53:05.940
 than to do what was right.

00:53:06.900 --> 00:53:08.140
 And so he delivers Jesus

00:53:08.140 --> 00:53:09.360
 to be crucified.

00:53:09.360 --> 00:53:09.940
 and he's,

00:53:11.500 --> 00:53:12.760
 I think it's one of the most,

00:53:13.559 --> 00:53:14.579
 I think it's words

00:53:14.579 --> 00:53:15.420
 that send a shiver

00:53:15.420 --> 00:53:16.820
 down your spine.

00:53:17.940 --> 00:53:19.400
 Where they cry out,

00:53:20.280 --> 00:53:22.760
 that awful cry,

00:53:23.300 --> 00:53:23.960
 when Pilate,

00:53:24.079 --> 00:53:24.920
 he washes his hands

00:53:24.920 --> 00:53:25.160
 saying,

00:53:25.260 --> 00:53:25.680
 I'm innocent

00:53:25.680 --> 00:53:26.780
 to this man's blood.

00:53:27.240 --> 00:53:28.140
 And they cry out,

00:53:28.480 --> 00:53:30.059
 his blood be upon us

00:53:30.059 --> 00:53:31.519
 and our children.

00:53:33.360 --> 00:53:34.340
 And you look at the history,

00:53:35.340 --> 00:53:36.940
 the history of the Jewish race,

00:53:36.940 --> 00:53:38.840
 and see the blood.

00:53:40.240 --> 00:53:40.539
 You know,

00:53:40.619 --> 00:53:42.800
 it's a fearful thought.

00:53:43.940 --> 00:53:45.220
 But before we finish,

00:53:46.019 --> 00:53:47.539
 there are two other things

00:53:47.539 --> 00:53:49.000
 I just want to highlight.

00:53:49.519 --> 00:53:50.760
 And one was picked on

00:53:50.760 --> 00:53:51.420
 last weekend.

00:53:51.599 --> 00:53:52.480
 I thought Ian McCritchie

00:53:52.480 --> 00:53:53.260
 spoke about this

00:53:53.260 --> 00:53:55.019
 absolutely beautifully

00:53:55.019 --> 00:53:55.860
 in the service.

00:53:55.860 --> 00:53:57.440
 And he mentioned

00:53:57.440 --> 00:53:58.760
 the women

00:53:58.760 --> 00:54:00.320
 that we read about

00:54:00.320 --> 00:54:02.599
 in verse 55, 56.

00:54:03.320 --> 00:54:04.340
 There were also

00:54:04.340 --> 00:54:05.480
 many women there,

00:54:05.720 --> 00:54:06.039
 this is,

00:54:06.840 --> 00:54:07.940
 at the crucifixion,

00:54:08.180 --> 00:54:09.740
 looking on from a distance

00:54:09.740 --> 00:54:11.019
 who had followed Jesus

00:54:11.019 --> 00:54:11.760
 from Galilee,

00:54:12.420 --> 00:54:13.460
 ministering to him.

00:54:14.039 --> 00:54:14.680
 Isn't that lovely?

00:54:15.720 --> 00:54:16.460
 Galilee was away

00:54:16.460 --> 00:54:17.180
 up in the north.

00:54:18.140 --> 00:54:18.960
 These women

00:54:18.960 --> 00:54:20.120
 had followed Jesus

00:54:20.120 --> 00:54:21.840
 every step of the way.

00:54:22.519 --> 00:54:23.780
 And they'd followed him

00:54:23.780 --> 00:54:24.880
 when it was dangerous.

00:54:24.880 --> 00:54:25.680
 They followed him

00:54:25.680 --> 00:54:27.039
 when he was despised.

00:54:27.539 --> 00:54:28.619
 They followed him

00:54:28.619 --> 00:54:30.300
 to the very end.

00:54:31.460 --> 00:54:32.380
 And some of these women

00:54:32.380 --> 00:54:33.539
 came to administer,

00:54:33.760 --> 00:54:34.480
 we see,

00:54:35.260 --> 00:54:38.220
 to embalm his body afterwards.

00:54:38.519 --> 00:54:39.019
 But of course,

00:54:39.059 --> 00:54:39.660
 he was risen.

00:54:40.680 --> 00:54:41.980
 And I love the commitment

00:54:41.980 --> 00:54:42.760
 of these women.

00:54:43.280 --> 00:54:44.500
 What will we do with Jesus?

00:54:44.880 --> 00:54:45.880
 Well, follow him

00:54:45.880 --> 00:54:47.160
 to the very end.

00:54:47.740 --> 00:54:48.099
 You know,

00:54:48.180 --> 00:54:48.760
 these women,

00:54:49.360 --> 00:54:50.500
 these women will have

00:54:50.500 --> 00:54:51.720
 a high place in glory.

00:54:52.619 --> 00:54:53.360
 These were women

00:54:53.360 --> 00:54:54.380
 who followed Jesus

00:54:54.380 --> 00:54:55.519
 through thick and thin.

00:54:55.820 --> 00:54:56.900
 Didn't matter the cost.

00:54:57.960 --> 00:54:58.860
 They were going to follow.

00:54:59.680 --> 00:55:01.079
 What an example to us.

00:55:01.980 --> 00:55:02.900
 And then there's one other,

00:55:03.340 --> 00:55:04.420
 before we finish,

00:55:05.300 --> 00:55:06.860
 tells us in verse 57,

00:55:06.980 --> 00:55:07.840
 when it was evening,

00:55:08.000 --> 00:55:09.000
 there came a rich man

00:55:09.000 --> 00:55:09.900
 from Arimathea

00:55:09.900 --> 00:55:11.200
 named Joseph,

00:55:11.860 --> 00:55:13.000
 who was also

00:55:13.000 --> 00:55:14.760
 a disciple of Jesus.

00:55:15.840 --> 00:55:17.559
 Tells us just very starkly

00:55:17.559 --> 00:55:18.820
 there what it is.

00:55:18.820 --> 00:55:20.460
 But if we went to John's gospel,

00:55:21.080 --> 00:55:22.300
 John tells us there,

00:55:22.800 --> 00:55:23.760
 after these things,

00:55:23.880 --> 00:55:25.019
 Joseph of Arimathea,

00:55:25.180 --> 00:55:26.860
 who was a disciple of Jesus,

00:55:27.400 --> 00:55:28.700
 but secretly

00:55:28.700 --> 00:55:31.120
 for fear of the Jews.

00:55:31.680 --> 00:55:32.440
 That's the very thing

00:55:32.440 --> 00:55:33.140
 we're talking about.

00:55:33.200 --> 00:55:33.920
 He's one of these

00:55:33.920 --> 00:55:35.320
 secret disciples.

00:55:37.240 --> 00:55:37.640
 But you know,

00:55:37.700 --> 00:55:38.480
 there came the point,

00:55:38.559 --> 00:55:38.800
 he says,

00:55:38.840 --> 00:55:39.720
 what am I going to do

00:55:39.720 --> 00:55:40.280
 with Jesus?

00:55:41.720 --> 00:55:42.640
 What does he do?

00:55:43.319 --> 00:55:46.019
 When it could cost his life,

00:55:47.319 --> 00:55:48.599
 when it was the most

00:55:48.599 --> 00:55:50.099
 dangerous time,

00:55:50.179 --> 00:55:51.299
 because Jesus had been

00:55:51.299 --> 00:55:52.000
 put to death,

00:55:52.599 --> 00:55:53.199
 bar John,

00:55:53.299 --> 00:55:54.500
 the followers of Jesus,

00:55:54.639 --> 00:55:55.299
 have run.

00:55:56.019 --> 00:55:56.980
 They're nowhere to be found.

00:55:57.059 --> 00:55:58.299
 They forsook him and fled.

00:55:59.519 --> 00:56:00.420
 Here's this man,

00:56:00.480 --> 00:56:01.940
 who had been a secret disciple.

00:56:02.379 --> 00:56:03.599
 He comes up and he says,

00:56:03.920 --> 00:56:04.859
 I'm with Jesus.

00:56:05.239 --> 00:56:06.359
 Give me the body of Jesus.

00:56:06.359 --> 00:56:07.619
 I want to bury him

00:56:07.619 --> 00:56:08.980
 and put him in a good tomb.

00:56:10.359 --> 00:56:11.739
 But another man comes along.

00:56:11.839 --> 00:56:12.480
 It's not mentioned.

00:56:12.639 --> 00:56:12.779
 Here,

00:56:12.859 --> 00:56:13.400
 but it does.

00:56:13.519 --> 00:56:14.639
 And John's gospel tells.

00:56:14.839 --> 00:56:16.679
 The other man was Nicodemus.

00:56:17.440 --> 00:56:18.679
 The man who came to Jesus

00:56:18.679 --> 00:56:20.039
 under the cover of darkness.

00:56:20.199 --> 00:56:20.679
 Again,

00:56:21.279 --> 00:56:23.519
 a high-ranking Pharisee.

00:56:23.980 --> 00:56:25.500
 Didn't want people to know.

00:56:27.199 --> 00:56:27.519
 You know,

00:56:27.599 --> 00:56:28.920
 when push comes to shove,

00:56:29.659 --> 00:56:31.139
 they throw their colors.

00:56:32.219 --> 00:56:33.739
 Nail their colors to the mast.

00:56:34.359 --> 00:56:35.639
 They come out of the darkness.

00:56:36.359 --> 00:56:37.960
 Nicodemus had come in the darkness.

00:56:38.759 --> 00:56:40.139
 Today he's come into the light.

00:56:41.219 --> 00:56:41.980
 What about you?

00:56:42.639 --> 00:56:44.539
 Are you still hiding in the shadows

00:56:44.539 --> 00:56:45.319
 and the darkness?

00:56:47.139 --> 00:56:48.699
 Or have you come to the light

00:56:48.699 --> 00:56:50.319
 to own,

00:56:50.460 --> 00:56:51.000
 to acknowledge,

00:56:51.199 --> 00:56:53.519
 to display that Jesus is your Lord?

00:56:53.519 --> 00:56:56.559
 Well, it's time you did.

00:56:56.559 --> 00:56:58.860
 I know there are people here

00:56:58.860 --> 00:57:01.860
 and I believe you love the Lord.

00:57:02.539 --> 00:57:03.719
 But you need to come out.

00:57:03.820 --> 00:57:05.739
 You need to take that stand,

00:57:05.880 --> 00:57:06.840
 to take that step.

00:57:06.920 --> 00:57:08.400
 What shall I do with Jesus?

00:57:09.599 --> 00:57:10.820
 It's called Christ.

00:57:11.840 --> 00:57:13.780
 And if you've never come to accept him,

00:57:14.119 --> 00:57:15.300
 then it's time you did.

00:57:16.059 --> 00:57:17.360
 Because he's offering himself.

00:57:17.500 --> 00:57:18.759
 We had our communion last week.

00:57:18.840 --> 00:57:20.480
 Here's the next week after the communion.

00:57:20.480 --> 00:57:21.460
 Time's going.

00:57:22.539 --> 00:57:23.079
 One day,

00:57:23.820 --> 00:57:24.240
 the offer

00:57:24.240 --> 00:57:26.659
 will not be any...

00:57:26.659 --> 00:57:26.900
 You know,

00:57:27.099 --> 00:57:28.579
 it's wonderful.

00:57:29.760 --> 00:57:30.159
 We have,

00:57:31.099 --> 00:57:31.579
 quite often,

00:57:31.659 --> 00:57:32.440
 you'll go to the shop

00:57:32.440 --> 00:57:33.719
 and you'll see

00:57:33.719 --> 00:57:35.860
 something and say,

00:57:36.159 --> 00:57:36.460
 offer,

00:57:37.019 --> 00:57:38.559
 there's a price reduction,

00:57:38.900 --> 00:57:39.440
 offer on

00:57:39.440 --> 00:57:41.699
 until such and such a date.

00:57:41.860 --> 00:57:42.280
 That's it.

00:57:43.100 --> 00:57:43.860
 And after that,

00:57:44.380 --> 00:57:46.080
 it reverts back to normal price.

00:57:47.000 --> 00:57:47.240
 You know,

00:57:47.300 --> 00:57:48.220
 the offer of the gospel

00:57:48.220 --> 00:57:49.240
 right now

00:57:49.240 --> 00:57:50.840
 doesn't have any

00:57:50.840 --> 00:57:52.860
 until such date.

00:57:53.580 --> 00:57:54.360
 But let me tell you

00:57:54.360 --> 00:57:55.240
 there is a date.

00:57:56.280 --> 00:57:57.420
 And the offer of the gospel

00:57:57.420 --> 00:57:58.540
 will be offered

00:57:58.540 --> 00:57:59.400
 until

00:57:59.400 --> 00:58:01.280
 Jesus returns.

00:58:02.040 --> 00:58:02.940
 And he's going to come

00:58:02.940 --> 00:58:03.640
 all of a sudden.

00:58:04.360 --> 00:58:05.220
 We don't know when.

00:58:06.220 --> 00:58:07.060
 It's going to be

00:58:07.060 --> 00:58:08.019
 when everything is

00:58:08.019 --> 00:58:09.180
 just as normal.

00:58:09.320 --> 00:58:10.300
 That's what he tells us.

00:58:10.300 --> 00:58:11.260
 It tells us

00:58:11.260 --> 00:58:12.320
 like in the day of the flood.

00:58:12.440 --> 00:58:12.840
 They ate,

00:58:12.960 --> 00:58:13.360
 they drank,

00:58:13.440 --> 00:58:14.220
 they gave in marriage.

00:58:14.580 --> 00:58:16.340
 It was a normal day

00:58:16.340 --> 00:58:17.300
 and then the flood.

00:58:17.680 --> 00:58:18.240
 And he says,

00:58:18.300 --> 00:58:18.780
 it's going to be

00:58:18.780 --> 00:58:20.100
 exactly like that

00:58:20.100 --> 00:58:21.480
 when I return.

00:58:23.039 --> 00:58:24.300
 And when he returns,

00:58:25.420 --> 00:58:26.380
 there will be

00:58:26.380 --> 00:58:27.580
 no more offers.

00:58:28.600 --> 00:58:29.660
 But today there is.

00:58:30.160 --> 00:58:30.920
 It's as clear

00:58:30.920 --> 00:58:31.600
 and as fresh

00:58:31.600 --> 00:58:32.560
 as ever it was.

00:58:33.400 --> 00:58:35.019
 Well, today you accept Jesus

00:58:35.019 --> 00:58:36.420
 if you already haven't.

00:58:36.500 --> 00:58:36.920
 Let's pray.

00:58:37.519 --> 00:58:38.200
 Lord our God,

00:58:38.260 --> 00:58:39.300
 we pray to bless us.

00:58:39.300 --> 00:58:39.980
 We give thanks

00:58:39.980 --> 00:58:41.019
 for our time together.

00:58:41.180 --> 00:58:41.780
 We pray that

00:58:41.780 --> 00:58:43.200
 this word

00:58:43.200 --> 00:58:44.260
 may go deep down

00:58:44.260 --> 00:58:44.960
 in our heart

00:58:44.960 --> 00:58:46.180
 that it might affect us,

00:58:46.320 --> 00:58:46.980
 change us.

00:58:47.820 --> 00:58:48.360
 Help us, Lord,

00:58:48.420 --> 00:58:49.580
 to stand on your side.

00:58:49.700 --> 00:58:50.180
 Help us, Lord,

00:58:50.240 --> 00:58:51.600
 to be courageous.

00:58:51.800 --> 00:58:52.840
 We know that so often

00:58:52.840 --> 00:58:53.980
 we don't want to be,

00:58:54.539 --> 00:58:55.580
 so often we prefer

00:58:55.580 --> 00:58:56.640
 to hide in the shadows.

00:58:57.880 --> 00:58:58.880
 We might want to be

00:58:58.880 --> 00:59:00.060
 the secret disciple.

00:59:01.100 --> 00:59:01.660
 It's amazing

00:59:01.660 --> 00:59:03.140
 how things propel us out

00:59:03.140 --> 00:59:04.019
 from the shadows

00:59:04.019 --> 00:59:04.760
 and the darkness.

00:59:04.920 --> 00:59:05.680
 And we pray that

00:59:05.680 --> 00:59:06.920
 that might be so

00:59:06.920 --> 00:59:08.180
 for people here today.

00:59:08.179 --> 00:59:09.599
 Watch over us

00:59:09.599 --> 00:59:10.539
 and bless our homes,

00:59:10.719 --> 00:59:11.659
 bless our families.

00:59:12.460 --> 00:59:13.799
 Grant health and strength,

00:59:13.919 --> 00:59:14.339
 we pray.

00:59:14.500 --> 00:59:15.179
 Do us good.

00:59:15.239 --> 00:59:16.279
 Lord, we need you.

00:59:16.759 --> 00:59:18.500
 And we ask that your grace

00:59:18.500 --> 00:59:19.159
 and your mercy

00:59:19.159 --> 00:59:20.579
 and peace may indwell us

00:59:20.579 --> 00:59:21.480
 and surround us.

00:59:21.879 --> 00:59:22.759
 Take away from us

00:59:22.759 --> 00:59:23.639
 and our every sin.

00:59:23.699 --> 00:59:25.000
 In Jesus' name we ask it.

00:59:25.059 --> 00:59:25.279
 Amen.

00:59:25.280 --> 00:59:25.380
 Amen.

00:59:27.820 --> 00:59:28.920
 We're going to conclude

00:59:28.920 --> 00:59:31.480
 singing in Psalm 57.

00:59:32.140 --> 00:59:34.760
 And this is in the Scottish Psalter.

00:59:36.060 --> 00:59:38.180
 Psalm 57, verses 1 to 3.

00:59:42.560 --> 00:59:44.740
 Psalm 57, verses 1 to 3.

00:59:44.739 --> 00:59:48.059
 Be merciful to me, O God,

00:59:48.159 --> 00:59:49.299
 thy mercy unto me

00:59:49.299 --> 00:59:50.259
 do thou extend,

00:59:50.919 --> 00:59:51.899
 because my soul

00:59:51.899 --> 00:59:53.219
 doth put our trust in thee.

00:59:53.899 --> 00:59:55.500
 Yea, in the shadow of thy wings

00:59:55.500 --> 00:59:57.239
 my refuge I will place,

00:59:57.899 --> 00:59:59.579
 until these sad calamities

00:59:59.579 --> 01:00:00.979
 do wholly overpass.

01:00:01.699 --> 01:00:03.279
 My cry I will cause

01:00:03.279 --> 01:00:05.559
 to ascend unto the Lord most high.

01:00:06.399 --> 01:00:08.579
 To God who doth all things for me

01:00:08.579 --> 01:00:10.939
 perform most perfectly.

01:00:10.940 --> 01:00:13.340
 From heaven he shall send down,

01:00:13.460 --> 01:00:16.019
 and me from his reproach defend,

01:00:16.599 --> 01:00:17.720
 that would devour me.

01:00:17.820 --> 01:00:18.639
 God is truth,

01:00:18.740 --> 01:00:21.019
 and mercy forth shall send.

01:00:21.159 --> 01:00:24.539
 One, two, three, four stanzas.

01:00:24.659 --> 01:00:26.760
 Be merciful to me, O God.

01:00:30.760 --> 01:00:40.480
 Be merciful to me, O God.

01:00:40.940 --> 01:00:48.019
 Thy mercy unto me,

01:00:48.019 --> 01:00:52.780
 through thou extend,

01:00:53.240 --> 01:00:57.639
 because my soul

01:00:57.639 --> 01:01:05.480
 doth put her trust in thee.

01:01:05.480 --> 01:01:15.519
 yea, in the shadow of thy wings,

01:01:15.519 --> 01:01:23.079
 my refuge I will place,

01:01:23.079 --> 01:01:32.679
 until these sad calamities

01:01:32.679 --> 01:01:39.679
 who hold me overpass.

01:01:39.679 --> 01:01:48.239
 My cry I will cost you

01:01:48.239 --> 01:01:49.679
 to ascend,

01:01:49.679 --> 01:01:58.000
 and to the Lord most high.

01:01:58.000 --> 01:02:07.000
 to God who doth all things for me,

01:02:07.000 --> 01:02:13.880
 her form most perfectly.

01:02:13.880 --> 01:02:23.039
 from him he shall send down,

01:02:23.039 --> 01:02:31.880
 and me from his reproach defend,

01:02:31.880 --> 01:02:36.140
 that would be,

01:02:36.140 --> 01:02:37.880
 and to the Lord most high.

01:02:37.960 --> 01:02:39.039
 that would be,

01:02:39.039 --> 01:02:41.920
 my God is truth,

01:02:41.920 --> 01:02:48.980
 and mercy forth shall send.

01:02:50.280 --> 01:02:51.660
 I'll go to the front door.

01:02:51.760 --> 01:02:52.500
 Now may the grace,

01:02:52.680 --> 01:02:52.900

01:02:52.900 --> 01:02:53.800
