00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.480
 You are listening to a message from Southwood Presbyterian Church in Huntsville, Alabama.

00:00:06.980 --> 00:00:10.640
 Our passion is to experience and express grace. Join us.

00:00:12.519 --> 00:00:15.179
 You'll open your Bibles again to Luke.

00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:18.879
 We are in Luke 23.

00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:29.400
 This morning we are looking at, again, the trial of God, round two.

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:40.880
 I'm going to be reading Luke 23, verses 1, all the way down through verse 25, so you can follow with me as I read.

00:00:43.880 --> 00:00:48.340
 Then the whole company of them arose and brought him before Pilate.

00:00:49.100 --> 00:00:51.679
 And they began to accuse him, saying,

00:00:52.340 --> 00:00:58.460
 We found this man misleading our nation and forbidding us to give tribute to Caesar,

00:00:58.460 --> 00:01:02.359
 and saying that he himself is Christ, a king.

00:01:04.219 --> 00:01:05.379
 And Pilate asked him,

00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:08.260
 Are you the king of the Jews?

00:01:09.340 --> 00:01:10.420
 And he answered him,

00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:12.099
 You have said so.

00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:16.260
 Then Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds,

00:01:16.900 --> 00:01:19.019
 I find no guilt in this man.

00:01:19.019 --> 00:01:21.399
 But they were urgent,

00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:22.500
 saying,

00:01:22.979 --> 00:01:24.239
 He stirs up the people,

00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:26.719
 teaching throughout all Judea,

00:01:26.819 --> 00:01:27.799
 from Galilee,

00:01:27.979 --> 00:01:29.219
 even to this place.

00:01:31.019 --> 00:01:32.819
 When Pilate heard this,

00:01:33.379 --> 00:01:35.899
 he asked whether the man was a Galilean.

00:01:36.819 --> 00:01:39.159
 And when he learned that he belonged to Herod's jurisdiction,

00:01:39.359 --> 00:01:40.699
 he sent him over to Herod,

00:01:41.039 --> 00:01:44.319
 who was himself in Jerusalem at that time.

00:01:44.319 --> 00:01:47.759
 When Herod saw Jesus,

00:01:48.259 --> 00:01:49.739
 he was very glad,

00:01:50.239 --> 00:01:52.939
 for he had long desired to see him,

00:01:53.019 --> 00:01:54.359
 because he had heard about him.

00:01:54.919 --> 00:01:58.379
 And he was hoping to see some sign done by him.

00:01:59.399 --> 00:02:02.939
 So we questioned him at some length,

00:02:03.939 --> 00:02:05.439
 but he made no answer.

00:02:06.819 --> 00:02:08.919
 The chief priests and the scribes stood by,

00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:11.519
 vehemently accusing him.

00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:14.000
 And Herod with his soldiers,

00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:16.480
 treated him with contempt,

00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:18.460
 and mocked him.

00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:21.460
 Then arraying him in splendid clothing,

00:02:21.600 --> 00:02:23.320
 he sent him back to Pilate.

00:02:24.460 --> 00:02:27.480
 And Herod and Pilate became friends with each other

00:02:27.480 --> 00:02:28.680
 that very day,

00:02:28.820 --> 00:02:30.300
 for before this day,

00:02:30.379 --> 00:02:32.580
 they had been at enmity with each other.

00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:36.660
 Pilate then called together the chief priests

00:02:36.660 --> 00:02:37.900
 and the rulers and the people,

00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:38.980
 and said to them,

00:02:38.980 --> 00:02:40.560
 You brought me this man

00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:42.280
 as one who is misleading the people.

00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:45.520
 And after examining him before you,

00:02:45.640 --> 00:02:45.939
 behold,

00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:48.319
 I did not find this man guilty

00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:51.560
 of any of your charges against him.

00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:53.560
 Neither did Herod,

00:02:54.180 --> 00:02:55.780
 for he sent him back to us.

00:02:56.360 --> 00:02:56.680
 Look,

00:02:57.539 --> 00:02:59.219
 nothing deserving death

00:02:59.219 --> 00:03:00.699
 has been done by him.

00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:02.659
 I will therefore punish him

00:03:02.659 --> 00:03:04.000
 and release him.

00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:08.280
 But they all cried out together,

00:03:08.280 --> 00:03:10.060
 away with this man

00:03:10.060 --> 00:03:12.840
 and release to us Barabbas,

00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:15.860
 a man who had been thrown into prison

00:03:15.860 --> 00:03:16.900
 for an insurrection,

00:03:17.159 --> 00:03:18.240
 started in the city,

00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:19.759
 and for murder.

00:03:21.780 --> 00:03:23.479
 Pilate addressed them once more,

00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:25.000
 desiring to release Jesus,

00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:26.400
 but they kept shouting,

00:03:26.599 --> 00:03:27.280
 Crucify!

00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:29.099
 Crucify him!

00:03:29.099 --> 00:03:32.139
 A third time he said to them,

00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:32.739
 Why?

00:03:33.819 --> 00:03:35.780
 What evil has he done?

00:03:36.579 --> 00:03:38.859
 I have found in him no guilt deserving death.

00:03:38.979 --> 00:03:41.419
 I will therefore punish and release him.

00:03:43.060 --> 00:03:44.319
 But they were urgent,

00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:47.780
 demanding with loud cries

00:03:47.780 --> 00:03:50.000
 that he should be crucified.

00:03:50.340 --> 00:03:52.079
 And their voices prevailed.

00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:54.740
 So Pilate decided

00:03:54.740 --> 00:03:57.219
 that the demand should be granted.

00:03:58.240 --> 00:03:59.500
 He released the man

00:03:59.500 --> 00:04:00.720
 who had been thrown into prison

00:04:00.720 --> 00:04:02.380
 for insurrection and murder,

00:04:03.140 --> 00:04:04.500
 for whom they asked.

00:04:05.640 --> 00:04:07.280
 But he delivered Jesus

00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:09.480
 over to their will.

00:04:10.820 --> 00:04:13.400
 Let's pray that God would send his spirit

00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:15.220
 to give us understanding

00:04:15.220 --> 00:04:17.060
 of this portion of his word.

00:04:18.660 --> 00:04:21.699
 Father, we pray that you would speak to us.

00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:24.240
 We need your spirit to speak.

00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:28.560
 It's not just in our minds

00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:29.659
 that we need understanding.

00:04:31.060 --> 00:04:33.959
 We need hearts that are receptive

00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:37.219
 to what you would speak to us.

00:04:37.699 --> 00:04:39.779
 So would you pour out your spirit,

00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:41.839
 soften our hearts,

00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:47.319
 that we might have a clearer understanding

00:04:47.319 --> 00:04:51.199
 of Jesus and all that he is.

00:04:52.079 --> 00:04:54.879
 So come, teach us.

00:04:54.979 --> 00:04:57.419
 We pray in Jesus' name.

00:04:58.560 --> 00:04:58.879
 Amen.

00:04:58.879 --> 00:04:59.019
 Amen.

00:05:03.259 --> 00:05:04.479
 So as I said,

00:05:04.579 --> 00:05:07.259
 this is the second trial

00:05:07.259 --> 00:05:09.379
 that Jesus undergoes.

00:05:09.419 --> 00:05:10.419
 The Jewish leaders

00:05:10.419 --> 00:05:12.339
 that we saw last week

00:05:12.339 --> 00:05:14.879
 have already found him guilty.

00:05:14.879 --> 00:05:19.920
 but they are under Roman rule.

00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:22.519
 And being under Roman rule,

00:05:22.620 --> 00:05:23.319
 one of the privileges

00:05:23.319 --> 00:05:25.439
 Rome has kept for themselves

00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:27.540
 is the power of execution

00:05:27.540 --> 00:05:29.199
 of criminals.

00:05:29.699 --> 00:05:31.399
 So the Jews

00:05:31.399 --> 00:05:33.759
 can pronounce him guilty,

00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:35.839
 but that's as far as they can go.

00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:36.839
 So they have to.

00:05:36.899 --> 00:05:38.000
 If they're going to get him

00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:39.379
 put to death,

00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:41.519
 they've got to have Rome do it.

00:05:41.519 --> 00:05:45.319
 So now they come to Pilate.

00:05:46.019 --> 00:05:47.019
 And the question

00:05:47.019 --> 00:05:49.379
 before this court

00:05:49.379 --> 00:05:52.519
 is the same as the last court.

00:05:53.180 --> 00:05:55.439
 It's not about things

00:05:55.439 --> 00:05:57.560
 that Jesus has done,

00:05:58.359 --> 00:06:01.240
 but it's about who he is.

00:06:02.899 --> 00:06:05.039
 Who does Jesus claim to be?

00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:09.560
 Is Jesus the king of the Jews?

00:06:09.740 --> 00:06:11.740
 That is the question

00:06:11.740 --> 00:06:15.640
 that Luke highlights for us here.

00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:17.220
 And it's the question

00:06:17.220 --> 00:06:18.800
 that Pilate

00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:21.620
 and really everybody involved

00:06:21.620 --> 00:06:24.379
 has to deal with.

00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:27.600
 And so what we're going to do

00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:29.200
 this morning is look

00:06:29.200 --> 00:06:30.660
 all through this.

00:06:31.080 --> 00:06:32.980
 The way that Luke writes

00:06:32.980 --> 00:06:34.960
 is that he's really good

00:06:34.960 --> 00:06:36.060
 at highlighting

00:06:36.060 --> 00:06:38.200
 characters in his story

00:06:38.200 --> 00:06:39.540
 and holding them up

00:06:39.540 --> 00:06:40.780
 sometimes in contrast

00:06:40.780 --> 00:06:42.259
 and comparison to each other.

00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:43.840
 But here,

00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:45.540
 in this story,

00:06:45.660 --> 00:06:47.220
 he kind of shines the light

00:06:47.220 --> 00:06:49.379
 on about six different people

00:06:49.379 --> 00:06:50.340
 and groups

00:06:50.340 --> 00:06:53.840
 and how they respond

00:06:53.840 --> 00:06:54.980
 to this question.

00:06:55.100 --> 00:06:55.520
 But first,

00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:57.700
 let's take a brief look

00:06:57.700 --> 00:06:59.520
 at just exactly

00:06:59.520 --> 00:07:00.720
 what's going on

00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:01.960
 in this trial.

00:07:02.980 --> 00:07:04.660
 Pilate,

00:07:04.879 --> 00:07:07.319
 we were introduced to him

00:07:07.319 --> 00:07:10.020
 back in Luke 3.

00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:12.680
 Pilate is introduced

00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:14.780
 as Luke begins

00:07:14.780 --> 00:07:15.700
 to set the stage

00:07:15.700 --> 00:07:16.259
 at the beginning

00:07:16.259 --> 00:07:17.319
 of Jesus' ministry.

00:07:17.860 --> 00:07:19.480
 He gives us a date,

00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:20.220
 basically,

00:07:20.939 --> 00:07:23.300
 when Tiberius was emperor,

00:07:24.020 --> 00:07:26.300
 Pilate is governor,

00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:28.660
 Herod we're going to see

00:07:28.660 --> 00:07:29.439
 in just a minute.

00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:31.779
 Pilate is a time

00:07:31.779 --> 00:07:33.779
 of beginning

00:07:34.719 --> 00:07:36.040
 of Jesus' ministry.

00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:37.560
 But Pilate,

00:07:37.899 --> 00:07:39.399
 his tenure

00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:41.439
 in Jerusalem

00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:43.920
 was brutal

00:07:43.920 --> 00:07:46.779
 and the Jews hated him.

00:07:47.459 --> 00:07:47.699
 Well,

00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:48.579
 he didn't like

00:07:48.579 --> 00:07:49.500
 the Jews either.

00:07:50.939 --> 00:07:51.680
 Because we see

00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:52.939
 back in Luke 13,

00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:54.699
 as we've already seen,

00:07:54.699 --> 00:07:57.759
 we hear that

00:07:57.759 --> 00:07:58.779
 there were a group

00:07:58.779 --> 00:08:00.120
 of Galileans

00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:03.839
 that were slain

00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:05.420
 by Pilate

00:08:05.420 --> 00:08:07.980
 and then their blood,

00:08:08.379 --> 00:08:09.279
 he mixed

00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:11.199
 into the blood

00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:12.300
 of the sacrifice

00:08:12.300 --> 00:08:13.339
 in the temple.

00:08:14.939 --> 00:08:16.659
 Totally defiling

00:08:16.659 --> 00:08:18.319
 the worship

00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:19.339
 in the temple.

00:08:19.339 --> 00:08:20.779
 that's what

00:08:20.779 --> 00:08:21.579
 he thought

00:08:21.579 --> 00:08:22.759
 of the Jews,

00:08:23.119 --> 00:08:25.579
 which led to

00:08:25.579 --> 00:08:26.479
 what the Jews

00:08:26.479 --> 00:08:27.739
 thought of Pilate.

00:08:29.419 --> 00:08:30.679
 But now the Jews

00:08:30.679 --> 00:08:31.679
 have to come

00:08:31.679 --> 00:08:32.480
 to Pilate

00:08:32.480 --> 00:08:36.000
 with this issue.

00:08:37.019 --> 00:08:38.299
 So they come

00:08:38.299 --> 00:08:39.679
 and notice

00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:40.299
 how they frame

00:08:40.299 --> 00:08:40.919
 their charges.

00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:41.980
 It's a different

00:08:41.980 --> 00:08:43.299
 issue

00:08:43.299 --> 00:08:44.079
 than what they

00:08:44.079 --> 00:08:45.019
 dealt with before

00:08:45.019 --> 00:08:46.120
 because they know

00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:47.419
 that just dealing

00:08:47.419 --> 00:08:48.639
 with these

00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:49.299
 religious

00:08:49.299 --> 00:08:50.919
 controversies

00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:53.259
 is not going

00:08:53.259 --> 00:08:54.339
 to prick

00:08:54.339 --> 00:08:56.000
 Pilate's interest.

00:08:57.799 --> 00:08:58.299
 And so they

00:08:58.299 --> 00:08:59.159
 frame it

00:08:59.159 --> 00:09:00.319
 in such a way

00:09:00.319 --> 00:09:02.259
 that he will

00:09:02.259 --> 00:09:03.120
 see Jesus

00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:04.419
 as not just

00:09:04.419 --> 00:09:05.000
 a threat

00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:06.360
 to the Jews

00:09:06.360 --> 00:09:07.360
 but actually

00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:08.079
 a threat

00:09:08.079 --> 00:09:09.139
 to Roman

00:09:09.139 --> 00:09:10.799
 rule itself.

00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:11.679
 See what

00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:12.139
 they said?

00:09:12.699 --> 00:09:13.199
 He said

00:09:13.199 --> 00:09:13.719
 he's an

00:09:13.719 --> 00:09:14.659
 insurrectionist

00:09:14.659 --> 00:09:15.259
 basically.

00:09:16.259 --> 00:09:17.199
 He's forbidding

00:09:17.200 --> 00:09:18.379
 us to pay

00:09:18.379 --> 00:09:19.500
 tribute to

00:09:19.500 --> 00:09:19.820
 Caesar

00:09:19.820 --> 00:09:20.700
 which he

00:09:20.700 --> 00:09:21.480
 never did

00:09:21.480 --> 00:09:23.720
 but they're

00:09:23.720 --> 00:09:24.440
 building this

00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:25.220
 case

00:09:25.220 --> 00:09:26.820
 so that if

00:09:26.820 --> 00:09:27.620
 Pilate sees

00:09:27.620 --> 00:09:28.140
 that Jesus

00:09:28.140 --> 00:09:28.800
 is a big

00:09:28.800 --> 00:09:29.680
 enough threat

00:09:29.680 --> 00:09:31.600
 that he'll

00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:32.200
 deal with

00:09:32.200 --> 00:09:32.420
 him.

00:09:33.680 --> 00:09:34.740
 When Pilate

00:09:34.740 --> 00:09:35.300
 hears

00:09:35.300 --> 00:09:37.140
 that he is

00:09:37.140 --> 00:09:37.660
 a king

00:09:37.660 --> 00:09:40.360
 he kind of

00:09:40.360 --> 00:09:40.900
 takes him

00:09:40.900 --> 00:09:41.420
 off to the

00:09:41.420 --> 00:09:41.720
 side.

00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:42.440
 We see in

00:09:42.440 --> 00:09:42.900
 some of the

00:09:42.900 --> 00:09:43.640
 other accounts

00:09:43.640 --> 00:09:44.640
 if you pull

00:09:44.640 --> 00:09:45.420
 all four of

00:09:45.420 --> 00:09:45.900
 the gospel

00:09:45.899 --> 00:09:46.340
 accounts

00:09:46.340 --> 00:09:46.779
 together

00:09:46.779 --> 00:09:48.079
 that this

00:09:48.079 --> 00:09:48.399
 is a

00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:48.740
 longer

00:09:48.740 --> 00:09:49.620
 conversation

00:09:49.620 --> 00:09:50.120
 than what

00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:50.419
 Luke

00:09:50.419 --> 00:09:51.299
 has here.

00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:53.419
 Luke only

00:09:53.419 --> 00:09:54.079
 is focused

00:09:54.079 --> 00:09:55.079
 on one

00:09:55.079 --> 00:09:55.819
 question.

00:09:57.579 --> 00:09:58.100
 Is

00:09:58.100 --> 00:09:58.899
 Jesus

00:09:58.899 --> 00:09:59.879
 king

00:09:59.879 --> 00:10:00.779
 of the

00:10:00.779 --> 00:10:01.220
 Jews?

00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:03.860
 And so

00:10:03.860 --> 00:10:04.360
 Pilate

00:10:04.360 --> 00:10:04.819
 that's the

00:10:04.819 --> 00:10:05.220
 only thing

00:10:05.220 --> 00:10:05.500
 he was

00:10:05.500 --> 00:10:06.139
 interested in.

00:10:06.600 --> 00:10:07.240
 Jesus

00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:07.840
 doesn't

00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:08.319
 answer

00:10:08.319 --> 00:10:08.959
 any of

00:10:08.959 --> 00:10:09.100
 the

00:10:09.100 --> 00:10:09.740
 accusations

00:10:09.740 --> 00:10:10.179
 of the

00:10:10.179 --> 00:10:10.539
 Jews.

00:10:11.179 --> 00:10:11.620
 He just

00:10:11.620 --> 00:10:12.139
 stands there

00:10:12.139 --> 00:10:13.679
 kneels

00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:14.059
 down

00:10:14.059 --> 00:10:14.399
 and you

00:10:14.399 --> 00:10:14.559
 know

00:10:14.559 --> 00:10:14.779
 he's

00:10:14.779 --> 00:10:14.960
 been

00:10:14.960 --> 00:10:15.460
 beaten

00:10:15.460 --> 00:10:15.819
 to

00:10:15.819 --> 00:10:16.120
 within

00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:16.259
 a

00:10:16.259 --> 00:10:16.439
 hair

00:10:16.439 --> 00:10:16.580
 of

00:10:16.580 --> 00:10:16.740
 his

00:10:16.740 --> 00:10:17.299
 life.

00:10:18.659 --> 00:10:18.879
 I'm

00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:19.039
 sure

00:10:19.039 --> 00:10:19.379
 he looked

00:10:19.379 --> 00:10:19.720
 very

00:10:19.720 --> 00:10:20.299
 impressive

00:10:20.299 --> 00:10:21.259
 before

00:10:21.259 --> 00:10:21.759
 Pilate.

00:10:23.759 --> 00:10:24.600
 But this

00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:24.819
 is the

00:10:24.819 --> 00:10:25.500
 only question.

00:10:25.639 --> 00:10:25.939
 So when

00:10:25.939 --> 00:10:26.279
 Pilate

00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:26.699
 asked him

00:10:26.699 --> 00:10:26.899
 are you

00:10:26.899 --> 00:10:27.220
 the king

00:10:27.220 --> 00:10:27.460
 of the

00:10:27.460 --> 00:10:27.879
 Jews?

00:10:28.139 --> 00:10:28.559
 He

00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:29.059
 answers

00:10:29.059 --> 00:10:29.639
 using

00:10:29.639 --> 00:10:30.240
 the same

00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:30.860
 phrasing

00:10:30.860 --> 00:10:31.539
 that he

00:10:31.539 --> 00:10:32.279
 did with

00:10:32.279 --> 00:10:32.899
 the Jewish

00:10:32.899 --> 00:10:33.360
 leaders.

00:10:34.840 --> 00:10:35.539
 Basically

00:10:35.539 --> 00:10:36.139
 saying

00:10:36.139 --> 00:10:36.840
 yes

00:10:36.840 --> 00:10:39.240
 I am.

00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:41.200
 in John

00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:41.899
 we see

00:10:41.899 --> 00:10:42.899
 he

00:10:42.899 --> 00:10:45.060
 expands

00:10:45.060 --> 00:10:45.460
 that a

00:10:45.460 --> 00:10:45.960
 little bit

00:10:45.960 --> 00:10:46.379
 but it

00:10:46.379 --> 00:10:46.680
 says

00:10:46.680 --> 00:10:47.700
 it's not

00:10:47.700 --> 00:10:48.180
 a political

00:10:48.180 --> 00:10:48.639
 kingdom.

00:10:50.279 --> 00:10:51.159
 It's a

00:10:51.159 --> 00:10:51.519
 spiritual

00:10:51.519 --> 00:10:51.980
 kingdom.

00:10:53.980 --> 00:10:54.820
 And so

00:10:54.820 --> 00:10:55.519
 hearing that

00:10:55.519 --> 00:10:57.060
 Pilate

00:10:57.060 --> 00:10:59.560
 sees no

00:10:59.560 --> 00:11:00.060
 threat

00:11:00.060 --> 00:11:00.840
 to Rome

00:11:00.840 --> 00:11:02.879
 and so

00:11:02.879 --> 00:11:03.279
 he

00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:03.820
 attempts

00:11:03.820 --> 00:11:04.360
 to

00:11:04.360 --> 00:11:05.399
 dismiss

00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:05.820
 him

00:11:05.820 --> 00:11:06.379
 but then

00:11:06.379 --> 00:11:07.000
 he hears

00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:07.580
 that Herod

00:11:07.580 --> 00:11:07.919
 is in

00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:08.240
 town

00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:08.799
 or he

00:11:08.799 --> 00:11:09.019
 hears

00:11:09.019 --> 00:11:09.500
 that Jesus

00:11:09.500 --> 00:11:10.019
 is a

00:11:10.019 --> 00:11:10.759
 Galilean

00:11:10.759 --> 00:11:12.079
 and Herod

00:11:12.079 --> 00:11:13.120
 oversees

00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:14.059
 Galilee

00:11:14.059 --> 00:11:14.819
 so he

00:11:14.819 --> 00:11:15.199
 sends him

00:11:15.199 --> 00:11:15.779
 to Herod

00:11:15.779 --> 00:11:16.960
 to let

00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:17.699
 him question

00:11:17.699 --> 00:11:18.079
 him and

00:11:18.079 --> 00:11:18.480
 maybe

00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:20.139
 we'll

00:11:20.139 --> 00:11:20.720
 make

00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:21.279
 further

00:11:21.279 --> 00:11:21.899
 progress

00:11:21.899 --> 00:11:22.399
 here.

00:11:24.379 --> 00:11:24.740
 Well

00:11:24.740 --> 00:11:25.699
 Herod

00:11:25.699 --> 00:11:25.980
 doesn't

00:11:25.980 --> 00:11:26.460
 find out

00:11:26.460 --> 00:11:26.799
 anything

00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:27.299
 so he

00:11:27.299 --> 00:11:27.740
 sends him

00:11:27.740 --> 00:11:28.220
 back.

00:11:30.259 --> 00:11:30.460
 The

00:11:30.460 --> 00:11:30.799
 amazing

00:11:30.799 --> 00:11:31.059
 thing

00:11:31.059 --> 00:11:31.340
 in this

00:11:31.340 --> 00:11:31.639
 story

00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:32.079
 here is

00:11:32.079 --> 00:11:32.600
 three

00:11:32.600 --> 00:11:33.740
 times

00:11:33.740 --> 00:11:35.960
 Pilate

00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:37.279
 attempts

00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:37.399
 Jesus.

00:11:38.959 --> 00:11:39.699
 Maybe

00:11:39.699 --> 00:11:40.480
 not with

00:11:40.480 --> 00:11:40.939
 all the

00:11:40.939 --> 00:11:41.360
 gusto

00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:41.699
 he

00:11:41.699 --> 00:11:41.980
 should

00:11:41.980 --> 00:11:42.139
 have

00:11:42.139 --> 00:11:44.159
 but he

00:11:44.159 --> 00:11:44.879
 attempts

00:11:44.879 --> 00:11:46.819
 to release

00:11:46.819 --> 00:11:47.179
 Jesus.

00:11:48.459 --> 00:11:49.120
 He

00:11:49.120 --> 00:11:49.759
 sees

00:11:49.759 --> 00:11:51.019
 there's

00:11:51.019 --> 00:11:51.480
 no guilt

00:11:51.480 --> 00:11:51.799
 here

00:11:51.799 --> 00:11:53.139
 and so

00:11:53.139 --> 00:11:53.319
 he's

00:11:53.319 --> 00:11:54.299
 trying to

00:11:54.299 --> 00:11:54.959
 release

00:11:54.959 --> 00:11:55.240
 him.

00:11:56.240 --> 00:11:56.579
 He just

00:11:56.579 --> 00:11:56.959
 wants this

00:11:56.959 --> 00:11:57.659
 problem to

00:11:57.659 --> 00:11:58.419
 go away

00:11:58.419 --> 00:12:01.079
 but the

00:12:01.079 --> 00:12:01.500
 Jews will

00:12:01.500 --> 00:12:02.059
 have nothing

00:12:02.059 --> 00:12:03.239
 of that

00:12:03.239 --> 00:12:05.399
 they want

00:12:05.399 --> 00:12:05.799
 Jesus

00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:06.399
 dead

00:12:06.399 --> 00:12:08.019
 period.

00:12:09.659 --> 00:12:10.419
 Nothing

00:12:10.419 --> 00:12:10.979
 short of

00:12:10.979 --> 00:12:11.799
 that is

00:12:11.799 --> 00:12:12.379
 acceptable.

00:12:14.099 --> 00:12:14.319
 And so

00:12:14.319 --> 00:12:14.659
 they put

00:12:14.659 --> 00:12:15.479
 pressure on

00:12:15.479 --> 00:12:15.879
 Pilate.

00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:16.299
 They get

00:12:16.299 --> 00:12:17.059
 the crowds

00:12:17.059 --> 00:12:17.739
 involved

00:12:17.739 --> 00:12:20.219
 and with

00:12:20.219 --> 00:12:20.679
 that

00:12:20.679 --> 00:12:21.579
 threatening

00:12:21.579 --> 00:12:22.359
 a riot

00:12:22.359 --> 00:12:24.759
 Pilate's

00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:25.259
 had enough.

00:12:26.719 --> 00:12:26.979
 He said

00:12:26.979 --> 00:12:27.299
 okay

00:12:27.299 --> 00:12:29.299
 have it

00:12:29.299 --> 00:12:29.679
 your way.

00:12:29.679 --> 00:12:32.699
 and he

00:12:32.699 --> 00:12:33.120
 relents

00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:34.039
 and turns

00:12:34.039 --> 00:12:34.779
 Jesus over

00:12:34.779 --> 00:12:36.299
 for execution.

00:12:38.500 --> 00:12:39.539
 Now as

00:12:39.539 --> 00:12:40.679
 we look

00:12:40.679 --> 00:12:41.059
 at this

00:12:41.059 --> 00:12:41.399
 scene

00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:44.099
 again there

00:12:44.099 --> 00:12:45.159
 are six

00:12:45.159 --> 00:12:45.679
 characters

00:12:45.679 --> 00:12:46.759
 here or

00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:47.379
 groups

00:12:47.379 --> 00:12:49.199
 that Luke

00:12:49.199 --> 00:12:50.199
 mentions

00:12:50.199 --> 00:12:52.159
 and we're

00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:52.579
 going to go

00:12:52.579 --> 00:12:53.299
 through and

00:12:53.299 --> 00:12:53.779
 look at them

00:12:53.779 --> 00:12:54.759
 because it's

00:12:54.759 --> 00:12:56.059
 interesting how

00:12:56.059 --> 00:12:57.179
 each of them

00:12:57.179 --> 00:12:58.539
 responds

00:12:58.539 --> 00:13:00.059
 to

00:13:00.059 --> 00:13:01.939
 this king.

00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:04.199
 And as we

00:13:04.199 --> 00:13:04.639
 look at

00:13:04.639 --> 00:13:05.079
 them I

00:13:05.079 --> 00:13:05.519
 think it

00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:05.899
 could be

00:13:05.899 --> 00:13:06.419
 insightful

00:13:06.419 --> 00:13:07.459
 for us

00:13:07.459 --> 00:13:09.059
 as we

00:13:09.059 --> 00:13:09.859
 consider how

00:13:09.859 --> 00:13:11.000
 we should

00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:11.819
 respond

00:13:11.819 --> 00:13:13.699
 to this

00:13:13.699 --> 00:13:14.120
 king.

00:13:14.120 --> 00:13:14.839
 And whether

00:13:14.839 --> 00:13:15.599
 you're a

00:13:15.599 --> 00:13:16.059
 believer

00:13:16.059 --> 00:13:18.539
 and or

00:13:18.539 --> 00:13:19.739
 whether you

00:13:19.739 --> 00:13:20.239
 are here

00:13:20.239 --> 00:13:21.479
 just examining

00:13:21.479 --> 00:13:22.819
 or curious

00:13:22.819 --> 00:13:24.259
 about Jesus

00:13:24.259 --> 00:13:24.819
 about

00:13:24.820 --> 00:13:25.580
 Christianity

00:13:25.580 --> 00:13:27.180
 here's

00:13:27.180 --> 00:13:27.740
 the question

00:13:27.740 --> 00:13:28.320
 for all

00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:29.000
 of us

00:13:29.000 --> 00:13:30.900
 what are

00:13:30.900 --> 00:13:31.120
 you going

00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:31.379
 to do

00:13:31.379 --> 00:13:31.820
 with Jesus?

00:13:33.060 --> 00:13:33.680
 So again

00:13:33.680 --> 00:13:34.020
 there are

00:13:34.020 --> 00:13:34.760
 six here

00:13:34.760 --> 00:13:36.440
 don't worry

00:13:36.440 --> 00:13:37.920
 even though

00:13:37.920 --> 00:13:38.600
 there's six

00:13:38.600 --> 00:13:40.260
 I'll get

00:13:40.260 --> 00:13:40.480
 you to

00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:40.860
 work on

00:13:40.860 --> 00:13:41.220
 time

00:13:41.220 --> 00:13:43.060
 tomorrow.

00:13:46.660 --> 00:13:47.220
 First

00:13:47.220 --> 00:13:47.620
 let's look

00:13:47.620 --> 00:13:47.840
 at the

00:13:47.840 --> 00:13:48.220
 Jews

00:13:48.220 --> 00:13:49.140
 and we'll

00:13:49.140 --> 00:13:49.340
 look at

00:13:49.340 --> 00:13:49.740
 them briefly

00:13:49.740 --> 00:13:50.380
 because we

00:13:50.380 --> 00:13:50.800
 saw them

00:13:50.800 --> 00:13:51.440
 last week

00:13:51.440 --> 00:13:53.260
 the Jews

00:13:53.260 --> 00:13:56.300
 note

00:13:56.300 --> 00:13:56.800
 here

00:13:56.800 --> 00:13:58.640
 one of the

00:13:58.640 --> 00:13:59.020
 things that

00:13:59.020 --> 00:13:59.620
 Luke brings

00:13:59.620 --> 00:14:00.280
 out when he

00:14:00.280 --> 00:14:00.800
 talks about

00:14:00.800 --> 00:14:01.440
 the Jews

00:14:01.440 --> 00:14:03.120
 is that

00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:03.540
 they're not

00:14:03.540 --> 00:14:04.440
 only angry

00:14:04.440 --> 00:14:06.340
 they're

00:14:06.340 --> 00:14:07.660
 passionately

00:14:07.660 --> 00:14:08.900
 angry

00:14:08.900 --> 00:14:11.440
 they are

00:14:11.440 --> 00:14:12.240
 in a sense

00:14:12.240 --> 00:14:13.500
 in a froth

00:14:13.500 --> 00:14:15.840
 over wanting

00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:16.940
 Jesus

00:14:16.940 --> 00:14:18.560
 to be put

00:14:18.560 --> 00:14:19.200
 to death

00:14:19.200 --> 00:14:20.580
 and I've

00:14:20.580 --> 00:14:20.940
 said

00:14:20.940 --> 00:14:21.480
 you know

00:14:21.480 --> 00:14:22.360
 this is

00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:23.020
 kind of a

00:14:23.020 --> 00:14:23.420
 clue for

00:14:23.420 --> 00:14:23.740
 us

00:14:23.740 --> 00:14:24.060
 and I've

00:14:24.060 --> 00:14:24.300
 said

00:14:24.300 --> 00:14:24.720
 probably

00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:24.980
 many

00:14:24.980 --> 00:14:25.500
 times

00:14:25.500 --> 00:14:26.500
 if you

00:14:26.500 --> 00:14:26.780
 want to

00:14:26.780 --> 00:14:27.300
 know

00:14:27.300 --> 00:14:28.840
 where your

00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:29.480
 particular

00:14:29.480 --> 00:14:30.600
 idolatries

00:14:30.600 --> 00:14:31.140
 are

00:14:31.140 --> 00:14:32.820
 there's a

00:14:32.820 --> 00:14:33.420
 trail you

00:14:33.420 --> 00:14:34.080
 can follow

00:14:34.080 --> 00:14:36.300
 first

00:14:36.300 --> 00:14:37.600
 look at

00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:38.160
 the anger

00:14:38.160 --> 00:14:40.920
 and that

00:14:40.920 --> 00:14:41.460
 anger is

00:14:41.460 --> 00:14:42.220
 probably going

00:14:42.220 --> 00:14:42.640
 to lead

00:14:42.640 --> 00:14:43.060
 you to

00:14:43.060 --> 00:14:43.560
 something

00:14:43.560 --> 00:14:44.600
 you fear

00:14:44.600 --> 00:14:47.500
 and that

00:14:47.500 --> 00:14:48.060
 fear

00:14:48.060 --> 00:14:49.379
 is going

00:14:49.379 --> 00:14:49.860
 to tell

00:14:49.860 --> 00:14:50.259
 you

00:14:50.259 --> 00:14:51.740
 what it

00:14:51.740 --> 00:14:52.180
 is

00:14:52.180 --> 00:14:52.920
 that is

00:14:52.920 --> 00:14:53.820
 threatening

00:14:53.820 --> 00:14:54.340
 you

00:14:54.340 --> 00:14:55.460
 but where

00:14:55.460 --> 00:14:56.159
 your idols

00:14:56.159 --> 00:14:57.019
 probably

00:14:57.019 --> 00:14:57.840
 can be

00:14:57.840 --> 00:14:58.200
 found

00:14:58.200 --> 00:15:00.080
 so what

00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:00.360
 did the

00:15:00.360 --> 00:15:00.580
 Jews

00:15:00.580 --> 00:15:01.000
 fear

00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:03.960
 they feared

00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:04.800
 exposure

00:15:04.800 --> 00:15:07.879
 they feared

00:15:07.879 --> 00:15:08.519
 exposure

00:15:08.519 --> 00:15:11.460
 if they

00:15:11.460 --> 00:15:12.199
 were to

00:15:12.199 --> 00:15:12.960
 respond

00:15:12.960 --> 00:15:14.159
 properly

00:15:14.159 --> 00:15:15.460
 to

00:15:15.460 --> 00:15:15.980
 Jesus

00:15:15.980 --> 00:15:17.519
 what

00:15:17.519 --> 00:15:17.759
 should

00:15:17.759 --> 00:15:17.939
 they

00:15:17.939 --> 00:15:18.340
 do

00:15:18.340 --> 00:15:21.379
 they

00:15:21.379 --> 00:15:21.840
 needed

00:15:21.840 --> 00:15:22.779
 to get

00:15:22.779 --> 00:15:23.179
 naked

00:15:23.179 --> 00:15:27.059
 now I

00:15:27.059 --> 00:15:27.340
 had a

00:15:27.340 --> 00:15:27.639
 lady

00:15:27.639 --> 00:15:28.419
 sweet

00:15:28.419 --> 00:15:28.639
 little

00:15:28.639 --> 00:15:28.860
 lady

00:15:28.860 --> 00:15:29.159
 named

00:15:29.159 --> 00:15:29.500
 Louise

00:15:29.500 --> 00:15:30.000
 in my

00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:30.220
 very

00:15:30.220 --> 00:15:30.539
 first

00:15:30.539 --> 00:15:30.960
 church

00:15:30.960 --> 00:15:31.259
 that

00:15:31.259 --> 00:15:31.720
 told

00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:32.079
 me

00:15:32.079 --> 00:15:33.600
 you

00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:33.840
 can

00:15:33.840 --> 00:15:34.240
 never

00:15:34.240 --> 00:15:34.860
 use

00:15:34.860 --> 00:15:35.019
 the

00:15:35.019 --> 00:15:35.220
 word

00:15:35.220 --> 00:15:35.679
 naked

00:15:35.679 --> 00:15:36.500
 from

00:15:36.500 --> 00:15:36.679
 the

00:15:36.679 --> 00:15:37.100
 pulpit

00:15:37.100 --> 00:15:39.460
 you

00:15:39.460 --> 00:15:39.600
 can

00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:39.720
 do

00:15:39.720 --> 00:15:39.820
 it

00:15:39.820 --> 00:15:39.920
 in

00:15:39.920 --> 00:15:40.040
 the

00:15:40.040 --> 00:15:40.639
 fellowship

00:15:40.639 --> 00:15:41.120
 hall

00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:42.259
 but

00:15:42.259 --> 00:15:42.480
 not

00:15:42.480 --> 00:15:42.560
 in

00:15:42.560 --> 00:15:42.680
 the

00:15:42.680 --> 00:15:43.080
 pulpit

00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:44.700
 which

00:15:44.700 --> 00:15:44.840
 is

00:15:44.840 --> 00:15:45.060
 why

00:15:45.060 --> 00:15:45.180
 I

00:15:45.180 --> 00:15:45.360
 stood

00:15:45.360 --> 00:15:45.560
 over

00:15:45.560 --> 00:15:45.840
 here

00:15:45.840 --> 00:15:51.300
 they

00:15:51.300 --> 00:15:51.460
 had

00:15:51.460 --> 00:15:51.540
 to

00:15:51.540 --> 00:15:51.659
 get

00:15:51.659 --> 00:15:52.100
 naked

00:15:52.100 --> 00:15:53.740
 you

00:15:53.740 --> 00:15:53.820
 know

00:15:53.820 --> 00:15:54.019
 there's

00:15:54.019 --> 00:15:54.180
 a

00:15:54.180 --> 00:15:54.519
 story

00:15:54.519 --> 00:15:54.879
 in

00:15:54.879 --> 00:15:55.100
 2

00:15:55.100 --> 00:15:55.440
 Kings

00:15:55.440 --> 00:15:55.860
 5

00:15:55.860 --> 00:15:57.440
 and

00:15:57.440 --> 00:15:57.580
 it's

00:15:57.580 --> 00:15:57.720
 a

00:15:57.720 --> 00:15:58.080
 story

00:15:58.080 --> 00:15:58.680
 of

00:15:58.680 --> 00:15:59.420
 a

00:15:59.420 --> 00:15:59.740
 Syrian

00:15:59.740 --> 00:16:00.500
 general

00:16:00.500 --> 00:16:00.860
 named

00:16:00.860 --> 00:16:01.240
 Naaman

00:16:01.240 --> 00:16:03.040
 Naaman

00:16:10.580 --> 00:16:11.159
 himself

00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:12.620
 but

00:16:12.620 --> 00:16:12.820
 Naaman

00:16:12.820 --> 00:16:13.019
 had

00:16:13.019 --> 00:16:13.139
 a

 leprosy

00:16:16.080 --> 00:16:19.419
 and

00:16:19.419 --> 00:16:19.779
 Naaman

00:16:19.779 --> 00:16:20.680
 heard

00:16:20.680 --> 00:16:21.340
 in

00:16:21.340 --> 00:16:21.759
 Israel

00:16:21.759 --> 00:16:22.120
 that

00:16:22.120 --> 00:16:22.299
 there

00:16:22.299 --> 00:16:22.440
 was

00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:22.600
 a

00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:22.840
 guy

00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:23.060
 that

00:16:23.060 --> 00:16:23.240
 could

00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:23.580
 cure

00:16:23.580 --> 00:16:23.860
 him

00:16:23.860 --> 00:16:24.240
 his

00:16:24.240 --> 00:16:24.440
 name

00:16:24.440 --> 00:16:24.620

00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:27.480
 and

00:16:27.480 --> 00:16:27.659
 so

00:16:27.659 --> 00:16:27.899
 he

00:16:27.899 --> 00:16:28.480
 went

00:16:30.539 --> 00:16:30.840
 Elijah

00:16:30.840 --> 00:16:31.159
 wouldn't

 even

00:16:31.440 --> 00:16:31.919
 come

00:16:32.879 --> 00:16:33.080
 him

00:16:33.080 --> 00:16:33.220
 he

00:16:33.220 --> 00:16:33.500
 just

00:16:33.500 --> 00:16:34.019
 said

00:16:34.019 --> 00:16:35.500
 Naaman

00:16:35.500 --> 00:16:35.680
 I

00:16:35.680 --> 00:16:35.879
 thought

00:16:35.879 --> 00:16:36.100
 was

00:16:36.100 --> 00:16:36.419
 hoping

00:16:36.419 --> 00:16:36.679
 for

00:16:36.679 --> 00:16:37.939
 him

00:16:37.939 --> 00:16:38.120
 to

00:16:38.120 --> 00:16:38.279
 come

00:16:38.279 --> 00:16:38.439
 out

 and

00:16:38.580 --> 00:16:38.840
 wave

00:16:38.840 --> 00:16:39.019
 his

00:16:39.019 --> 00:16:39.299
 hand

00:16:39.299 --> 00:16:39.500
 over

00:16:39.500 --> 00:16:39.720
 the

00:16:39.720 --> 00:16:40.080
 spot

00:16:40.080 --> 00:16:40.259
 or

00:16:40.259 --> 00:16:40.500
 do

00:16:40.500 --> 00:16:40.899
 something

00:16:40.899 --> 00:16:41.580
 magical

00:16:41.580 --> 00:16:43.480
 but

00:16:43.480 --> 00:16:43.779
 all he

00:16:43.779 --> 00:16:44.019
 said

00:16:44.019 --> 00:16:44.259
 was

 Jordan

00:16:45.879 --> 00:16:46.159
 River

00:16:46.159 --> 00:16:46.539
 seven

00:16:46.539 --> 00:16:47.080
 times

00:16:47.080 --> 00:16:50.519
 you know

00:16:50.519 --> 00:16:50.840
 what that

00:16:50.840 --> 00:16:51.039
 meant

00:16:51.039 --> 00:16:51.220
 for

00:16:51.220 --> 00:16:51.539
 Naaman

00:16:51.539 --> 00:16:54.159
 for him

00:16:54.159 --> 00:16:54.720
 to wash

00:16:54.720 --> 00:16:55.080
 in that

00:16:55.080 --> 00:16:55.379
 river

00:16:55.379 --> 00:16:57.220
 he had

00:16:57.220 --> 00:16:57.620
 to strip

00:16:57.620 --> 00:16:58.039
 down

00:16:58.039 --> 00:17:00.840
 all

00:17:00.840 --> 00:17:01.519
 that he

00:17:01.519 --> 00:17:02.279
 wore

00:17:02.279 --> 00:17:03.139
 that

00:17:03.139 --> 00:17:03.720
 designated

00:17:03.720 --> 00:17:04.259
 him

00:17:04.259 --> 00:17:04.619
 as

00:17:04.619 --> 00:17:05.279
 special

00:17:05.279 --> 00:17:05.559
 as

00:17:05.559 --> 00:17:05.940
 someone

00:17:05.940 --> 00:17:06.379
 high

00:17:06.379 --> 00:17:06.839
 above

00:17:06.839 --> 00:17:07.539
 everyone

00:17:07.539 --> 00:17:08.099
 else

00:17:08.099 --> 00:17:08.660
 had

00:17:08.660 --> 00:17:08.819
 to

00:17:08.819 --> 00:17:09.039
 come

00:17:09.039 --> 00:17:09.519
 off

00:17:09.519 --> 00:17:11.700
 and

00:17:11.700 --> 00:17:11.859
 a

00:17:11.859 --> 00:17:12.119
 naked

00:17:12.119 --> 00:17:12.619
 general

00:17:12.619 --> 00:17:13.180
 looks

00:17:13.180 --> 00:17:13.799
 just

00:17:13.799 --> 00:17:14.079
 like

00:17:14.079 --> 00:17:14.259
 a

00:17:14.259 --> 00:17:14.519
 naked

00:17:14.519 --> 00:17:15.220
 private

00:17:15.220 --> 00:17:16.980
 except

00:17:16.980 --> 00:17:17.240
 maybe

00:17:17.240 --> 00:17:17.500
 a little

00:17:17.500 --> 00:17:17.920
 older

00:17:17.920 --> 00:17:21.420
 but

00:17:21.420 --> 00:17:21.799
 something

00:17:21.799 --> 00:17:22.259
 else

00:17:22.259 --> 00:17:23.839
 that

00:17:23.839 --> 00:17:24.339
 leprosy

00:17:24.339 --> 00:17:24.539
 was

00:17:24.539 --> 00:17:24.680
 going

00:17:24.680 --> 00:17:24.879
 to be

00:17:24.879 --> 00:17:25.460
 exposed

00:17:25.460 --> 00:17:28.539
 and that

00:17:28.539 --> 00:17:29.200
 leprosy

00:17:29.200 --> 00:17:30.079
 was going

00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:30.559
 to cause

00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:30.940
 him

00:17:30.940 --> 00:17:31.600
 to be

00:17:31.600 --> 00:17:32.500
 alienated

00:17:32.500 --> 00:17:33.740
 isolated

00:17:33.740 --> 00:17:34.819
 rejected

00:17:34.819 --> 00:17:36.819
 and so

00:17:36.819 --> 00:17:37.160
 forth

00:17:37.160 --> 00:17:39.120
 but he

00:17:39.120 --> 00:17:39.680
 did

00:17:39.680 --> 00:17:41.900
 and he

00:17:41.900 --> 00:17:42.539
 was cured

00:17:42.539 --> 00:17:46.299
 the

00:17:46.299 --> 00:17:46.960
 Jews

00:17:46.960 --> 00:17:48.059
 had a

00:17:48.059 --> 00:17:48.720
 leprosy

00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:49.740
 that they

00:17:49.740 --> 00:17:50.299
 could not

00:17:50.299 --> 00:17:50.799
 cure

00:17:50.799 --> 00:17:51.920
 but it

00:17:51.920 --> 00:17:52.319
 wasn't a

00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:52.539
 skin

00:17:52.539 --> 00:17:53.140
 disease

00:17:53.140 --> 00:17:54.700
 it was a

00:17:54.700 --> 00:17:54.920
 heart

00:17:54.920 --> 00:17:55.440
 disease

00:17:55.440 --> 00:17:57.640
 the only

00:17:57.640 --> 00:17:58.320
 cure was

00:17:58.320 --> 00:17:58.720
 for them

00:17:58.720 --> 00:17:59.200
 to take

00:17:59.200 --> 00:17:59.640
 off

00:17:59.640 --> 00:18:00.620
 all that

00:18:00.620 --> 00:18:01.480
 they used

00:18:01.480 --> 00:18:02.360
 to make

00:18:02.360 --> 00:18:02.799
 them look

00:18:02.799 --> 00:18:03.279
 righteous

00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:03.779
 to make

00:18:03.779 --> 00:18:04.200
 them look

00:18:04.200 --> 00:18:04.880
 special

00:18:04.880 --> 00:18:06.519
 all of

00:18:06.519 --> 00:18:06.920
 their good

00:18:06.920 --> 00:18:07.400
 works

00:18:07.400 --> 00:18:07.960
 they need

00:18:07.960 --> 00:18:08.799
 to despair

00:18:08.799 --> 00:18:09.380
 of

00:18:09.380 --> 00:18:11.400
 all of

00:18:11.400 --> 00:18:12.059
 their rituals

00:18:12.059 --> 00:18:12.680
 that they

00:18:12.680 --> 00:18:13.380
 thought made

00:18:13.380 --> 00:18:14.100
 them good

00:18:14.100 --> 00:18:14.980
 they needed

00:18:14.980 --> 00:18:15.940
 to despair

00:18:15.940 --> 00:18:16.559
 of

00:18:16.559 --> 00:18:20.660
 and come

00:18:20.660 --> 00:18:21.400
 to Jesus

00:18:21.400 --> 00:18:22.860
 owning

00:18:22.860 --> 00:18:25.400
 their

00:18:25.400 --> 00:18:26.200
 sickness

00:18:26.200 --> 00:18:29.040
 so that

00:18:29.040 --> 00:18:29.400
 the

00:18:29.400 --> 00:18:29.840
 Savior

00:18:29.840 --> 00:18:32.740
 could cure

00:18:32.740 --> 00:18:33.160
 it

00:18:33.160 --> 00:18:34.640
 completely

00:18:34.640 --> 00:18:38.259
 and this

00:18:38.259 --> 00:18:38.660
 might be

00:18:38.660 --> 00:18:39.000
 some of

00:18:39.000 --> 00:18:39.420
 us

00:18:39.420 --> 00:18:43.080
 some of

00:18:43.080 --> 00:18:43.600
 us

00:18:43.600 --> 00:18:45.240
 it might

00:18:45.240 --> 00:18:45.720
 be time

00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:46.019
 for us

00:18:46.019 --> 00:18:46.440
 to strip

00:18:46.440 --> 00:18:46.800
 down

00:18:46.799 --> 00:18:50.680
 and then

00:18:50.680 --> 00:18:50.919
 come

00:18:50.919 --> 00:18:51.299
 clean

00:18:51.299 --> 00:18:54.980
 that was

00:18:54.980 --> 00:18:55.559
 the Jews

00:18:55.559 --> 00:18:56.899
 then there's

00:18:56.899 --> 00:18:57.539
 Pilate

00:18:57.539 --> 00:18:59.399
 Pilate

00:18:59.399 --> 00:19:01.960
 Pilate was in

00:19:01.960 --> 00:19:02.460
 a place he

00:19:02.460 --> 00:19:02.819
 didn't want

00:19:02.819 --> 00:19:03.119
 to be

00:19:03.119 --> 00:19:05.559
 he was in

00:19:05.559 --> 00:19:07.019
 Canaan

00:19:07.019 --> 00:19:08.879
 in Jerusalem

00:19:08.879 --> 00:19:10.500
 in a city

00:19:10.500 --> 00:19:11.200
 that was

00:19:11.200 --> 00:19:12.259
 notorious

00:19:12.259 --> 00:19:13.879
 for

00:19:13.879 --> 00:19:15.059
 insurrections

00:19:15.059 --> 00:19:15.299
 for

00:19:15.299 --> 00:19:16.379
 rebellions

00:19:16.379 --> 00:19:17.099
 and so

00:19:17.099 --> 00:19:17.599
 forth

00:19:17.599 --> 00:19:18.779
 and he

00:19:18.779 --> 00:19:19.099
 didn't

00:19:19.099 --> 00:19:19.779
 like it

00:19:19.779 --> 00:19:21.200
 the Jews

00:19:21.200 --> 00:19:22.140
 were extremely

00:19:22.140 --> 00:19:22.900
 hard to

00:19:22.900 --> 00:19:23.319
 govern

00:19:23.319 --> 00:19:25.379
 so he

00:19:25.379 --> 00:19:27.599
 just tries

00:19:27.599 --> 00:19:28.279
 to dismiss

00:19:28.279 --> 00:19:29.000
 this whole

00:19:29.000 --> 00:19:29.339
 thing

00:19:29.339 --> 00:19:31.140
 but he

00:19:31.140 --> 00:19:31.779
 can't

00:19:31.779 --> 00:19:33.140
 you know

00:19:33.140 --> 00:19:34.000
 maybe what he

00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:34.640
 fears here

00:19:34.640 --> 00:19:35.519
 that the Jews

00:19:35.519 --> 00:19:35.879
 are just

00:19:35.879 --> 00:19:36.619
 gonna again

00:19:36.619 --> 00:19:37.299
 here comes

00:19:37.299 --> 00:19:38.000
 another riot

00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:38.559
 another

00:19:38.559 --> 00:19:39.559
 resurrection

00:19:39.559 --> 00:19:42.559
 but Pilate

00:19:42.559 --> 00:19:43.299
 seems like

00:19:43.299 --> 00:19:43.960
 he just

00:19:43.960 --> 00:19:44.700
 wishes

00:19:44.700 --> 00:19:45.599
 things

00:19:45.599 --> 00:19:46.759
 would be

00:19:46.759 --> 00:19:47.220
 normal

00:19:47.220 --> 00:19:49.579
 quiet

00:19:49.579 --> 00:19:52.399
 let's just

00:19:52.399 --> 00:19:53.579
 get along

00:19:53.579 --> 00:19:55.559
 I know

00:19:55.559 --> 00:19:55.819
 we don't

00:19:55.819 --> 00:19:56.240
 like each

00:19:56.240 --> 00:19:56.460
 other

00:19:56.460 --> 00:19:56.859
 but we

00:19:56.859 --> 00:19:57.480
 can just

00:19:57.480 --> 00:19:58.839
 get along

00:19:58.839 --> 00:20:00.440
 it's kind

00:20:00.440 --> 00:20:00.779
 of like

00:20:00.779 --> 00:20:02.319
 families

00:20:02.319 --> 00:20:03.399
 at special

00:20:03.399 --> 00:20:03.879
 dinners

00:20:03.879 --> 00:20:05.379
 where the

00:20:05.379 --> 00:20:06.019
 matriarch

00:20:06.019 --> 00:20:07.019
 of the

00:20:07.019 --> 00:20:07.299
 family

00:20:07.299 --> 00:20:07.960
 typically

00:20:07.960 --> 00:20:10.400
 all she

00:20:10.400 --> 00:20:10.880
 wants

00:20:10.880 --> 00:20:12.819
 is everybody

00:20:12.819 --> 00:20:13.840
 just to be

00:20:13.840 --> 00:20:14.880
 happy together

00:20:14.880 --> 00:20:15.420
 and have a

00:20:15.420 --> 00:20:16.000
 good time

00:20:16.000 --> 00:20:19.019
 never mind

00:20:19.019 --> 00:20:20.480
 about

00:20:20.480 --> 00:20:21.279
 Uncle Ed's

00:20:21.279 --> 00:20:21.779
 addictions

00:20:21.779 --> 00:20:23.279
 never mind

00:20:23.279 --> 00:20:25.000
 about the

00:20:25.000 --> 00:20:25.420
 daughter

00:20:25.420 --> 00:20:26.519
 who's

00:20:26.519 --> 00:20:27.220
 covered with

00:20:27.220 --> 00:20:27.620
 ink

00:20:27.620 --> 00:20:28.980
 and wishes

00:20:28.980 --> 00:20:29.660
 she wasn't

00:20:29.660 --> 00:20:30.059
 there

00:20:30.059 --> 00:20:31.380
 never mind

00:20:31.380 --> 00:20:32.860
 about all

00:20:32.860 --> 00:20:33.579
 the relational

00:20:33.579 --> 00:20:34.140
 tension

00:20:34.140 --> 00:20:35.299
 that underlies

00:20:35.299 --> 00:20:35.660
 here

00:20:35.660 --> 00:20:36.580
 all this

00:20:36.580 --> 00:20:37.100
 matriarch

00:20:37.100 --> 00:20:37.540
 wants

00:20:37.540 --> 00:20:37.800
 is

00:20:37.800 --> 00:20:37.920
 to

00:20:37.920 --> 00:20:38.259
 look

00:20:38.259 --> 00:20:38.580
 let's

00:20:38.580 --> 00:20:38.740
 just

00:20:38.740 --> 00:20:39.120
 sit down

00:20:39.120 --> 00:20:39.340
 at the

00:20:39.340 --> 00:20:39.640
 table

00:20:39.640 --> 00:20:40.259
 let's

00:20:40.259 --> 00:20:40.700
 smile

00:20:40.700 --> 00:20:41.140
 eat

00:20:41.140 --> 00:20:41.540
 dinner

00:20:41.540 --> 00:20:42.880
 and be

00:20:42.880 --> 00:20:43.180
 happy

00:20:43.180 --> 00:20:45.620
 that's

00:20:45.620 --> 00:20:46.220
 kind of

00:20:46.220 --> 00:20:46.700
 the way

00:20:46.700 --> 00:20:47.220
 I picture

00:20:47.220 --> 00:20:47.960
 Pilate

00:20:47.960 --> 00:20:48.660
 here

00:20:48.660 --> 00:20:50.560
 in this

00:20:50.560 --> 00:20:51.220
 situation

00:20:51.220 --> 00:20:52.900
 all he

00:20:52.900 --> 00:20:53.259
 wants

00:20:53.259 --> 00:20:54.420
 is

00:20:54.420 --> 00:20:55.120
 normalcy

00:20:55.120 --> 00:20:56.759
 and peace

00:20:56.759 --> 00:21:00.060
 you know

00:21:00.060 --> 00:21:00.660
 just after

00:21:00.660 --> 00:21:01.000
 I came

00:21:01.000 --> 00:21:01.560
 to Christ

00:21:01.559 --> 00:21:03.839
 I remember

00:21:03.839 --> 00:21:04.419
 sitting on

00:21:04.419 --> 00:21:04.720
 the front

00:21:04.720 --> 00:21:05.079
 porch

00:21:05.079 --> 00:21:05.519
 of this

00:21:05.519 --> 00:21:06.779
 big resort

00:21:06.779 --> 00:21:08.139
 where I

00:21:08.139 --> 00:21:08.480
 used to

00:21:08.480 --> 00:21:08.960
 work in

00:21:08.960 --> 00:21:09.659
 Virginia

00:21:09.659 --> 00:21:12.139
 with a

00:21:12.139 --> 00:21:12.819
 friend that

00:21:12.819 --> 00:21:13.740
 was instrumental

00:21:13.740 --> 00:21:14.259
 in leading

00:21:14.259 --> 00:21:14.579
 me to

00:21:14.579 --> 00:21:14.899
 Christ

00:21:14.899 --> 00:21:15.179
 but we

00:21:15.179 --> 00:21:15.679
 were sitting

00:21:15.679 --> 00:21:16.299
 there together

00:21:16.299 --> 00:21:16.819
 with my

00:21:16.819 --> 00:21:17.179
 brother

00:21:17.179 --> 00:21:19.899
 and we

00:21:19.899 --> 00:21:20.419
 were talking

00:21:20.419 --> 00:21:20.839
 about

00:21:20.839 --> 00:21:21.440
 Jesus

00:21:21.440 --> 00:21:24.659
 and my

00:21:24.659 --> 00:21:25.099
 brother

00:21:25.099 --> 00:21:25.819
 as we

00:21:25.819 --> 00:21:26.500
 talked about

00:21:26.500 --> 00:21:26.899
 Jesus

00:21:26.899 --> 00:21:27.319
 and his

00:21:27.319 --> 00:21:27.940
 need for

00:21:27.940 --> 00:21:28.259
 Jesus

00:21:28.259 --> 00:21:28.839
 my brother

00:21:28.839 --> 00:21:29.379
 understood

00:21:29.379 --> 00:21:29.940
 something

00:21:29.940 --> 00:21:30.980
 very clearly

00:21:30.980 --> 00:21:31.720
 and his

00:21:31.720 --> 00:21:32.320
 response

00:21:32.320 --> 00:21:32.759
 to us

00:21:32.759 --> 00:21:33.200
 was

00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:34.519
 but

00:21:34.519 --> 00:21:36.680
 if I

00:21:36.680 --> 00:21:38.759
 come to

00:21:38.759 --> 00:21:39.240
 Jesus

00:21:39.240 --> 00:21:41.900
 then I'm

00:21:41.900 --> 00:21:42.140
 going to

00:21:42.140 --> 00:21:42.400
 basically

00:21:42.400 --> 00:21:42.720
 have to

00:21:42.720 --> 00:21:43.019
 give up

00:21:43.019 --> 00:21:43.279
 all my

00:21:43.279 --> 00:21:43.759
 friends

00:21:43.759 --> 00:21:47.600
 my life

00:21:47.600 --> 00:21:48.900
 is going

00:21:48.900 --> 00:21:50.019
 to totally

00:21:50.019 --> 00:21:50.660
 change

00:21:50.660 --> 00:21:53.880
 he said

00:21:53.880 --> 00:21:54.360
 I don't

00:21:54.360 --> 00:21:55.160
 know if I

00:21:55.160 --> 00:21:55.539
 want that

00:21:55.539 --> 00:21:55.940
 or not

00:21:55.940 --> 00:22:01.100
 my

00:22:01.100 --> 00:22:01.500
 brother

00:22:01.500 --> 00:22:03.539
 understood

00:22:03.539 --> 00:22:06.720
 Jesus

00:22:06.720 --> 00:22:07.740
 demands

00:22:07.740 --> 00:22:09.860
 that

00:22:09.860 --> 00:22:10.660
 we

00:22:10.660 --> 00:22:11.240
 turn

00:22:11.240 --> 00:22:13.580
 from

00:22:13.580 --> 00:22:13.900
 all

00:22:13.900 --> 00:22:14.220
 that's

00:22:14.220 --> 00:22:14.640
 normal

00:22:14.640 --> 00:22:18.960
 to

00:22:18.960 --> 00:22:19.640
 something

00:22:19.640 --> 00:22:21.820
 of

00:22:21.820 --> 00:22:22.420
 much

00:22:22.420 --> 00:22:23.600
 much

00:22:23.600 --> 00:22:24.820
 greater

00:22:24.819 --> 00:22:26.439
 value

00:22:26.439 --> 00:22:28.179
 because

00:22:28.179 --> 00:22:28.480
 see

00:22:28.480 --> 00:22:28.899
 in our

00:22:28.899 --> 00:22:30.079
 normalcy

00:22:30.079 --> 00:22:30.399
 our

00:22:30.399 --> 00:22:31.240
 pursuit

00:22:31.240 --> 00:22:31.599
 of

00:22:31.599 --> 00:22:32.200
 normal

00:22:32.200 --> 00:22:33.200
 we're

00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:33.460
 looking

00:22:33.460 --> 00:22:33.700
 for

00:22:33.700 --> 00:22:34.279
 security

00:22:34.279 --> 00:22:34.759
 we're

00:22:34.759 --> 00:22:35.000
 looking

00:22:35.000 --> 00:22:35.519
 for

00:22:35.519 --> 00:22:37.439
 predictability

00:22:37.439 --> 00:22:38.220
 we

00:22:38.220 --> 00:22:39.619
 we're

00:22:39.619 --> 00:22:39.919
 looking

00:22:39.919 --> 00:22:40.259
 to

00:22:40.259 --> 00:22:40.819
 appease

00:22:40.819 --> 00:22:41.099
 our

00:22:41.099 --> 00:22:41.819
 fears

00:22:41.819 --> 00:22:44.460
 and what

00:22:44.460 --> 00:22:44.819
 Jesus

00:22:44.819 --> 00:22:45.480
 tells you

00:22:45.480 --> 00:22:45.899
 is that

00:22:45.899 --> 00:22:46.460
 normal

00:22:46.460 --> 00:22:47.079
 will not

00:22:47.079 --> 00:22:47.579
 work

00:22:47.579 --> 00:22:51.159
 the only

00:22:51.159 --> 00:22:51.779
 thing

00:22:51.779 --> 00:22:53.579
 that can

00:22:53.579 --> 00:22:53.859
 bring

00:22:53.859 --> 00:22:54.319
 real

00:22:54.319 --> 00:22:55.019
 peace

00:22:55.019 --> 00:22:56.740
 or

00:22:56.740 --> 00:22:57.519
 shalom

00:22:57.519 --> 00:23:00.279
 is

00:23:00.279 --> 00:23:00.819
 Jesus

00:23:00.819 --> 00:23:02.279
 because

00:23:02.279 --> 00:23:02.679
 Jesus

00:23:02.679 --> 00:23:03.399
 does not

00:23:03.399 --> 00:23:04.079
 just keep

00:23:04.079 --> 00:23:04.740
 the lid

00:23:04.740 --> 00:23:05.079
 on the

00:23:05.079 --> 00:23:05.460
 pressure

00:23:05.460 --> 00:23:05.879
 cooker

00:23:05.879 --> 00:23:09.559
 he makes

00:23:09.559 --> 00:23:10.119
 all things

00:23:10.119 --> 00:23:10.500
 new

00:23:10.500 --> 00:23:13.720
 and this

00:23:13.720 --> 00:23:14.139
 is what

00:23:14.139 --> 00:23:14.639
 he comes

00:23:14.639 --> 00:23:15.119
 to do

00:23:15.119 --> 00:23:15.879
 your

00:23:15.879 --> 00:23:16.619
 normal

00:23:16.619 --> 00:23:19.639
 is a

00:23:19.639 --> 00:23:20.239
 facade

00:23:20.239 --> 00:23:23.839
 Jesus

00:23:23.839 --> 00:23:26.500
 is

00:23:26.500 --> 00:23:26.979
 everything

00:23:26.979 --> 00:23:27.899
 real

00:23:27.899 --> 00:23:34.519
 so

00:23:34.519 --> 00:23:34.859
 Jesus

00:23:34.859 --> 00:23:35.279
 comes

00:23:35.279 --> 00:23:35.659
 to make

00:23:35.659 --> 00:23:36.000
 everything

00:23:36.000 --> 00:23:36.439
 right

00:23:36.439 --> 00:23:36.799
 but

00:23:36.799 --> 00:23:37.179
 before

00:23:37.179 --> 00:23:37.599
 that

00:23:37.599 --> 00:23:38.239
 the

00:23:38.239 --> 00:23:38.599
 normal

00:23:38.599 --> 00:23:39.500
 has

00:23:39.500 --> 00:23:39.759
 to

00:23:39.759 --> 00:23:39.939
 go

00:23:39.939 --> 00:23:44.479
 what

00:23:44.479 --> 00:23:44.679
 about

00:23:44.680 --> 00:23:45.140
 Herod

00:23:45.140 --> 00:23:46.200
 our

00:23:46.200 --> 00:23:46.480
 next

00:23:46.480 --> 00:23:46.960
 character

00:23:46.960 --> 00:23:47.259
 here

00:23:47.259 --> 00:23:47.779
 Herod

00:23:47.779 --> 00:23:48.900
 Herod

00:23:48.900 --> 00:23:49.100
 was

00:23:49.100 --> 00:23:49.500
 ruthless

00:23:49.500 --> 00:23:51.519
 this

00:23:51.519 --> 00:23:51.960
 is not

00:23:51.960 --> 00:23:52.160
 the

00:23:52.160 --> 00:23:52.539
 Herod

00:23:52.539 --> 00:23:52.880
 that we

00:23:52.880 --> 00:23:53.420
 saw

00:23:53.420 --> 00:23:54.120
 at the

00:23:54.120 --> 00:23:54.340
 birth

00:23:54.340 --> 00:23:54.519
 of

00:23:54.519 --> 00:23:54.799
 Jesus

00:23:54.799 --> 00:23:55.060
 who

00:23:55.060 --> 00:23:55.340
 murdered

00:23:55.340 --> 00:23:55.560
 all

00:23:55.560 --> 00:23:55.740
 those

00:23:55.740 --> 00:23:56.080
 children

00:23:56.080 --> 00:23:56.360
 this

00:23:56.360 --> 00:23:56.500
 is

00:23:56.500 --> 00:23:56.860
 another

00:23:56.860 --> 00:23:57.500
 Herod

00:23:57.500 --> 00:23:57.680
 but

00:23:57.680 --> 00:23:57.940
 this

00:23:57.940 --> 00:23:58.259
 Herod

00:23:58.259 --> 00:23:58.480
 was

00:23:58.480 --> 00:23:58.779
 not

00:23:58.779 --> 00:24:00.019
 much

00:24:00.019 --> 00:24:00.340
 better

00:24:00.340 --> 00:24:03.200
 Herod

00:24:03.200 --> 00:24:04.039
 was

00:24:04.039 --> 00:24:04.160
 the

00:24:04.160 --> 00:24:04.320
 one

00:24:04.320 --> 00:24:04.440
 that

00:24:04.440 --> 00:24:04.580
 had

00:24:04.580 --> 00:24:04.799
 John

00:24:04.799 --> 00:24:04.960
 the

00:24:04.960 --> 00:24:05.400
 Baptist

00:24:05.400 --> 00:24:06.259
 arrested

00:24:06.259 --> 00:24:08.000
 and

00:24:08.000 --> 00:24:08.420
 eventually

00:24:08.420 --> 00:24:09.080
 beheaded

00:24:09.080 --> 00:24:11.140
 simply

00:24:11.140 --> 00:24:12.200
 to

00:24:12.200 --> 00:24:13.039
 please

00:24:13.039 --> 00:24:13.799
 this

00:24:13.799 --> 00:24:14.920
 tantalizing

00:24:14.920 --> 00:24:15.519
 young

00:24:15.519 --> 00:24:16.399
 woman

00:24:16.399 --> 00:24:20.319
 but

00:24:20.319 --> 00:24:20.700
 while

00:24:20.700 --> 00:24:20.920
 he

00:24:20.920 --> 00:24:21.480
 before

00:24:21.480 --> 00:24:21.879
 that

00:24:21.879 --> 00:24:22.319
 time

00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:22.659
 after

00:24:22.659 --> 00:24:22.799
 he

00:24:22.799 --> 00:24:22.920
 had

00:24:22.920 --> 00:24:23.039
 been

00:24:23.039 --> 00:24:23.460
 arrested

00:24:23.460 --> 00:24:23.839
 while

00:24:23.839 --> 00:24:24.039
 he

00:24:24.039 --> 00:24:24.440
 kept

00:24:24.440 --> 00:24:25.319
 John

00:24:25.319 --> 00:24:25.519
 in

00:24:25.519 --> 00:24:25.960
 prison

00:24:25.960 --> 00:24:27.099
 Herod

00:24:27.099 --> 00:24:27.659
 used

00:24:27.659 --> 00:24:27.899
 to

00:24:27.899 --> 00:24:28.319
 sneak

00:24:28.319 --> 00:24:28.740
 down

00:24:28.740 --> 00:24:28.920
 to

00:24:28.920 --> 00:24:29.099
 the

00:24:29.099 --> 00:24:29.559
 prison

00:24:29.559 --> 00:24:30.559
 and

00:24:30.559 --> 00:24:30.980
 listen

00:24:30.980 --> 00:24:31.279
 to

00:24:31.279 --> 00:24:31.720
 John

00:24:31.720 --> 00:24:33.099
 now

00:24:33.099 --> 00:24:33.259
 he

00:24:33.259 --> 00:24:33.500
 hated

00:24:33.500 --> 00:24:33.740
 what

00:24:33.740 --> 00:24:34.019
 John

00:24:34.019 --> 00:24:34.159
 had

00:24:34.159 --> 00:24:34.379
 told

00:24:34.379 --> 00:24:34.500
 him

00:24:34.500 --> 00:24:34.720
 because

00:24:34.720 --> 00:24:35.019
 John

00:24:35.019 --> 00:24:35.299
 said

00:24:35.299 --> 00:24:35.539
 your

00:24:35.539 --> 00:24:35.879
 current

00:24:35.879 --> 00:24:36.339
 marriage

00:24:36.339 --> 00:24:36.559
 is

00:24:36.559 --> 00:24:37.259
 unlawful

00:24:37.259 --> 00:24:39.420
 but

00:24:39.420 --> 00:24:39.779
 still

00:24:39.779 --> 00:24:40.379
 Herod

00:24:40.379 --> 00:24:41.180
 liked

00:24:41.180 --> 00:24:41.700
 to

00:24:41.700 --> 00:24:42.200
 listen

00:24:42.200 --> 00:24:43.299
 to

00:24:43.299 --> 00:24:43.700
 John

00:24:43.700 --> 00:24:47.480
 you

00:24:47.480 --> 00:24:47.579
 know

00:24:47.579 --> 00:24:47.900
 something

00:24:47.900 --> 00:24:48.220
 about

00:24:48.220 --> 00:24:48.400
 his

00:24:48.400 --> 00:24:48.740
 preaching

00:24:48.740 --> 00:24:49.019
 was

00:24:49.019 --> 00:24:50.039
 tugging

00:24:50.039 --> 00:24:50.779
 at

00:24:50.779 --> 00:24:51.019
 him

00:24:51.019 --> 00:24:51.379
 but

00:24:51.379 --> 00:24:51.539
 we

00:24:51.539 --> 00:24:51.819
 know

00:24:51.819 --> 00:24:52.039
 of

00:24:52.039 --> 00:24:52.240
 course

00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:52.460
 that

00:24:52.460 --> 00:24:52.599
 was

00:24:52.599 --> 00:24:52.799
 very

00:24:52.799 --> 00:24:53.240
 shallow

00:24:53.240 --> 00:24:55.420
 because

00:24:55.420 --> 00:24:55.839
 John

00:24:55.839 --> 00:24:57.799
 ultimately

00:24:57.799 --> 00:24:59.299
 lost

00:24:59.299 --> 00:24:59.519
 his

00:24:59.519 --> 00:24:59.799
 head

00:24:59.799 --> 00:25:01.440
 but

00:25:01.440 --> 00:25:01.640
 now

00:25:01.640 --> 00:25:02.079
 Jesus

00:25:02.079 --> 00:25:02.519
 is

00:25:02.519 --> 00:25:02.940
 around

00:25:02.940 --> 00:25:03.859
 Herod

00:25:03.859 --> 00:25:04.140
 thinks

00:25:04.140 --> 00:25:04.440
 maybe

00:25:04.440 --> 00:25:04.740
 this

00:25:04.740 --> 00:25:04.920
 is

00:25:04.920 --> 00:25:05.299
 John

00:25:05.299 --> 00:25:05.680
 raised

00:25:05.680 --> 00:25:05.859
 from

00:25:05.859 --> 00:25:06.000
 the

00:25:06.000 --> 00:25:06.379
 dead

00:25:06.380 --> 00:25:07.160
 he

00:25:07.160 --> 00:25:07.420
 doesn't

00:25:07.420 --> 00:25:07.940
 know

00:25:07.940 --> 00:25:08.700
 but

00:25:08.700 --> 00:25:08.900
 he's

00:25:08.900 --> 00:25:09.160
 heard

00:25:09.160 --> 00:25:09.680
 a lot

00:25:09.680 --> 00:25:10.400
 and

00:25:10.400 --> 00:25:10.520
 so

00:25:10.520 --> 00:25:10.700
 he

00:25:10.700 --> 00:25:11.020
 wants

00:25:11.020 --> 00:25:11.200
 to

00:25:11.200 --> 00:25:11.400
 see

00:25:11.400 --> 00:25:11.800
 Jesus

00:25:11.800 --> 00:25:12.280
 maybe

00:25:12.280 --> 00:25:12.700
 Jesus

00:25:12.700 --> 00:25:12.980
 will

00:25:12.980 --> 00:25:13.300
 do

00:25:13.300 --> 00:25:13.480
 a

00:25:13.480 --> 00:25:13.720
 trick

00:25:13.720 --> 00:25:14.040
 for

00:25:14.040 --> 00:25:14.300
 him

00:25:14.300 --> 00:25:16.140
 I

00:25:16.140 --> 00:25:16.260
 don't

00:25:16.260 --> 00:25:16.660
 know

00:25:16.660 --> 00:25:19.460
 Herod

00:25:19.460 --> 00:25:19.920
 seems

00:25:19.920 --> 00:25:20.280
 to be

00:25:20.280 --> 00:25:20.860
 dabbling

00:25:20.860 --> 00:25:23.320
 kind

00:25:23.320 --> 00:25:23.480
 of

00:25:23.480 --> 00:25:24.000
 skirting

00:25:24.000 --> 00:25:24.320
 around

00:25:24.320 --> 00:25:24.520
 the

00:25:24.520 --> 00:25:24.960
 edges

00:25:24.960 --> 00:25:25.460
 of

00:25:25.460 --> 00:25:25.580
 the

00:25:25.580 --> 00:25:25.960
 kingdom

00:25:25.960 --> 00:25:28.460
 has

00:25:28.460 --> 00:25:28.620
 a

00:25:28.620 --> 00:25:28.760
 little

00:25:28.760 --> 00:25:28.940
 bit

00:25:28.940 --> 00:25:29.040
 of

00:25:29.040 --> 00:25:29.500
 interest

00:25:29.500 --> 00:25:32.480
 but

00:25:32.480 --> 00:25:33.060
 that's

00:25:33.060 --> 00:25:33.340
 about

00:25:33.340 --> 00:25:33.520
 as

00:25:33.520 --> 00:25:33.760
 far

00:25:33.760 --> 00:25:34.000
 as

00:25:34.000 --> 00:25:34.140
 it

00:25:34.140 --> 00:25:34.580
 goes

00:25:34.580 --> 00:25:36.140
 because

00:25:36.140 --> 00:25:36.280
 see

00:25:36.280 --> 00:25:36.640
 Herod

00:25:36.640 --> 00:25:36.980
 really

00:25:36.980 --> 00:25:37.240
 was

00:25:37.240 --> 00:25:37.480
 all

00:25:37.480 --> 00:25:37.680
 about

00:25:37.680 --> 00:25:38.280
 himself

00:25:38.280 --> 00:25:40.220
 and

00:25:40.220 --> 00:25:40.920
 dabbling

00:25:40.920 --> 00:25:41.500
 in the

00:25:41.500 --> 00:25:41.960
 kingdom

00:25:41.960 --> 00:25:43.440
 would

00:25:43.440 --> 00:25:43.759
 never

00:25:43.759 --> 00:25:44.480
 penetrate

00:25:44.480 --> 00:25:46.320
 that

00:25:46.320 --> 00:25:46.780
 self

00:25:46.780 --> 00:25:50.020
 a lot

00:25:50.020 --> 00:25:50.160
 of

00:25:50.160 --> 00:25:50.520
 folks

00:25:50.520 --> 00:25:51.960
 dabble

00:25:51.960 --> 00:25:53.040
 in

00:25:53.040 --> 00:25:53.440
 religion

00:25:53.440 --> 00:25:55.940
 we

00:25:55.940 --> 00:25:56.460
 joke

00:25:56.460 --> 00:25:56.840
 about

00:25:56.840 --> 00:25:57.720
 priesters

00:25:57.720 --> 00:25:59.280
 you'll

00:25:59.280 --> 00:25:59.700
 see a lot

00:25:59.700 --> 00:25:59.960
 of them

00:25:59.960 --> 00:26:00.259
 in a few

00:26:00.259 --> 00:26:00.759
 weeks

00:26:00.759 --> 00:26:02.280
 priesters

00:26:02.280 --> 00:26:02.860
 are those

00:26:02.860 --> 00:26:03.220
 who show

00:26:03.220 --> 00:26:03.640
 up on

00:26:03.640 --> 00:26:04.120
 Christmas

00:26:04.119 --> 00:26:06.079
 and

00:26:06.079 --> 00:26:06.539
 Easter

00:26:06.539 --> 00:26:08.179
 Christ

00:26:08.179 --> 00:26:12.339
 sometimes

00:26:12.339 --> 00:26:12.859
 we show

00:26:12.859 --> 00:26:13.199
 up every

00:26:13.199 --> 00:26:13.559
 now and

00:26:13.559 --> 00:26:13.919
 then but

00:26:13.919 --> 00:26:14.479
 church

00:26:14.479 --> 00:26:15.319
 religion

00:26:15.319 --> 00:26:16.159
 seems to

00:26:16.159 --> 00:26:16.619
 be something

00:26:16.619 --> 00:26:17.019
 that we

00:26:17.019 --> 00:26:18.019
 tack on

00:26:18.019 --> 00:26:18.759
 to life

00:26:18.759 --> 00:26:19.399
 maybe given

00:26:19.399 --> 00:26:20.219
 legitimacy

00:26:20.219 --> 00:26:21.319
 to life

00:26:21.319 --> 00:26:21.719
 there's a

00:26:21.719 --> 00:26:22.659
 curiosity we

00:26:22.659 --> 00:26:23.179
 have about

00:26:23.179 --> 00:26:23.879
 it but

00:26:23.879 --> 00:26:24.199
 yet

00:26:24.199 --> 00:26:25.619
 it's

00:26:25.619 --> 00:26:27.019
 it never

00:26:27.019 --> 00:26:27.819
 gets

00:26:27.819 --> 00:26:29.019
 down

00:26:29.019 --> 00:26:30.319
 to the

00:26:30.319 --> 00:26:30.619
 core

00:26:30.619 --> 00:26:34.279
 we

00:26:34.279 --> 00:26:34.699
 cannot

00:26:34.699 --> 00:26:36.979
 come

00:26:36.979 --> 00:26:37.159
 to

00:26:37.159 --> 00:26:37.739
 Jesus

00:26:37.739 --> 00:26:40.119
 by way

00:26:40.119 --> 00:26:40.319
 of

00:26:40.319 --> 00:26:40.899
 dabbling

00:26:40.899 --> 00:26:44.859
 when we

00:26:44.859 --> 00:26:45.279
 come to

00:26:45.279 --> 00:26:45.659
 Jesus

00:26:45.659 --> 00:26:47.199
 it's

00:26:47.199 --> 00:26:47.739
 all

00:26:47.739 --> 00:26:48.359
 or

00:26:48.359 --> 00:26:49.500
 nothing

00:26:49.500 --> 00:26:52.339
 it's

00:26:52.339 --> 00:26:52.599
 like an

00:26:52.599 --> 00:26:53.059
 engagement

00:26:53.059 --> 00:26:55.459
 when I

00:26:55.459 --> 00:26:56.259
 got engaged

00:26:56.259 --> 00:26:57.299
 to

00:26:57.299 --> 00:26:57.959
 Gail

00:26:57.959 --> 00:26:58.500
 it was

00:26:58.500 --> 00:26:59.099
 37

00:26:59.099 --> 00:26:59.599
 years

00:26:59.599 --> 00:27:00.099
 ago

00:27:00.099 --> 00:27:00.480
 at

00:27:00.480 --> 00:27:00.839
 St.

00:27:00.939 --> 00:27:01.399
 Patrick's

00:27:01.399 --> 00:27:01.679
 Day

00:27:01.679 --> 00:27:02.379
 I was

00:27:02.379 --> 00:27:02.819
 so glad

00:27:02.819 --> 00:27:03.199
 I did

00:27:03.199 --> 00:27:03.559
 that on

00:27:03.559 --> 00:27:04.079
 a holiday

00:27:04.079 --> 00:27:05.319
 that I

00:27:05.319 --> 00:27:05.480
 could

00:27:05.480 --> 00:27:05.859
 remember

00:27:05.859 --> 00:27:11.039
 when I

00:27:11.039 --> 00:27:11.559
 asked her

00:27:11.559 --> 00:27:12.519
 and she

00:27:12.519 --> 00:27:12.959
 said

00:27:12.959 --> 00:27:14.159
 yes

00:27:14.159 --> 00:27:15.419
 we

00:27:15.419 --> 00:27:15.879
 committed

00:27:15.879 --> 00:27:16.359
 ourselves

00:27:16.359 --> 00:27:16.779
 to each

00:27:16.779 --> 00:27:17.139
 other

00:27:17.139 --> 00:27:17.939
 that

00:27:17.939 --> 00:27:18.500
 meant

00:27:18.500 --> 00:27:20.480
 if I

00:27:20.480 --> 00:27:20.799
 had

00:27:20.799 --> 00:27:21.219
 any

00:27:21.219 --> 00:27:22.899
 all the

00:27:22.899 --> 00:27:23.319
 pictures

00:27:23.319 --> 00:27:23.759
 of the

00:27:23.759 --> 00:27:23.919
 other

00:27:23.919 --> 00:27:24.539
 girlfriends

00:27:24.539 --> 00:27:25.339
 would have

00:27:25.339 --> 00:27:25.859
 to go

00:27:25.859 --> 00:27:27.659
 no more

00:27:27.659 --> 00:27:28.279
 dating

00:27:28.279 --> 00:27:28.719
 around

00:27:28.720 --> 00:27:29.360
 no more

00:27:29.360 --> 00:27:29.799
 play in

00:27:29.799 --> 00:27:30.339
 the field

00:27:30.339 --> 00:27:31.420
 I

00:27:31.420 --> 00:27:31.900
 was

00:27:31.900 --> 00:27:32.799
 hers

00:27:32.799 --> 00:27:35.279
 and hers

00:27:35.279 --> 00:27:36.539
 alone

00:27:36.539 --> 00:27:40.579
 and that's

00:27:40.579 --> 00:27:41.100
 kind of a

00:27:41.100 --> 00:27:41.700
 scary thing

00:27:41.700 --> 00:27:42.339
 because you

00:27:42.339 --> 00:27:42.680
 know you

00:27:42.680 --> 00:27:43.079
 do you

00:27:43.079 --> 00:27:43.600
 shut off

00:27:43.600 --> 00:27:43.980
 everybody

00:27:43.980 --> 00:27:44.519
 else

00:27:44.519 --> 00:27:46.079
 but what I

00:27:46.079 --> 00:27:46.640
 found

00:27:46.640 --> 00:27:49.339
 was such

00:27:49.339 --> 00:27:49.880
 a treasure

00:27:49.880 --> 00:27:55.320
 this is

00:27:55.320 --> 00:27:55.640
 what we're

00:27:55.640 --> 00:27:56.260
 called to

00:27:56.260 --> 00:27:59.840
 it's all

00:27:59.840 --> 00:28:00.380
 or nothing

00:28:00.380 --> 00:28:03.680
 but what

00:28:03.680 --> 00:28:04.660
 you find

00:28:04.660 --> 00:28:05.740
 in

00:28:05.740 --> 00:28:06.280
 Jesus

00:28:06.280 --> 00:28:10.160
 what we

00:28:10.160 --> 00:28:10.680
 find in

00:28:10.680 --> 00:28:11.000
 everything

00:28:11.000 --> 00:28:11.400
 else

00:28:11.400 --> 00:28:12.140
 is just

00:28:12.140 --> 00:28:13.280
 a fake

00:28:13.280 --> 00:28:13.960
 plastic

00:28:13.960 --> 00:28:14.540
 pearl

00:28:14.539 --> 00:28:18.180
 but in

00:28:18.180 --> 00:28:18.519
 Jesus

00:28:18.519 --> 00:28:21.460
 we get

00:28:21.460 --> 00:28:21.899
 the pearl

00:28:21.899 --> 00:28:22.319
 of great

00:28:22.319 --> 00:28:22.799
 price

00:28:22.799 --> 00:28:26.579
 and there

00:28:26.579 --> 00:28:26.839
 will be

00:28:26.839 --> 00:28:27.740
 no regretting

00:28:27.740 --> 00:28:29.819
 coming to

00:28:29.819 --> 00:28:30.240
 Jesus

00:28:30.240 --> 00:28:36.700
 what about

00:28:36.700 --> 00:28:37.480
 the soldiers

00:28:37.480 --> 00:28:40.819
 well we're

00:28:40.819 --> 00:28:41.460
 not told a

00:28:41.460 --> 00:28:41.920
 lot about

00:28:41.920 --> 00:28:42.659
 these guys

00:28:42.660 --> 00:28:43.200
 they're just

00:28:43.200 --> 00:28:43.820
 in a sense

00:28:43.820 --> 00:28:44.279
 kind of

00:28:44.279 --> 00:28:44.660
 mentioned

00:28:44.660 --> 00:28:45.140
 here

00:28:45.140 --> 00:28:46.779
 but it's

00:28:46.779 --> 00:28:47.180
 Luke

00:28:47.180 --> 00:28:48.300
 draws our

00:28:48.300 --> 00:28:48.920
 attention to

00:28:48.920 --> 00:28:49.340
 particularly

00:28:49.340 --> 00:28:49.820
 what they

00:28:49.820 --> 00:28:50.160
 do

00:28:50.160 --> 00:28:51.300
 we do

00:28:51.300 --> 00:28:51.680
 know that

00:28:51.680 --> 00:28:52.620
 Roman soldiers

00:28:52.620 --> 00:28:53.320
 were

00:28:53.320 --> 00:28:55.080
 these were

00:28:55.080 --> 00:28:55.460
 men

00:28:55.460 --> 00:28:57.380
 these were

00:28:57.380 --> 00:28:58.000
 big

00:28:58.000 --> 00:28:59.460
 strong

00:28:59.460 --> 00:29:01.640
 probably not

00:29:01.640 --> 00:29:02.180
 real pretty

00:29:02.180 --> 00:29:05.600
 you wouldn't

00:29:05.600 --> 00:29:06.140
 want to meet

00:29:06.140 --> 00:29:06.560
 one of these

00:29:06.560 --> 00:29:07.380
 guys alone

00:29:07.380 --> 00:29:11.400
 they were

00:29:11.400 --> 00:29:12.040
 strong and

00:29:12.040 --> 00:29:12.400
 brutal

00:29:12.400 --> 00:29:14.700
 and obviously

00:29:14.700 --> 00:29:15.200
 from what

00:29:15.200 --> 00:29:15.680
 they're doing

00:29:15.680 --> 00:29:16.280
 here to

00:29:16.280 --> 00:29:16.700
 Jesus

00:29:16.700 --> 00:29:17.220
 weakness

00:29:17.220 --> 00:29:17.640
 was

00:29:17.640 --> 00:29:18.700
 despised

00:29:18.700 --> 00:29:22.240
 so now

00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:22.880
 before them

00:29:22.880 --> 00:29:23.540
 this so

00:29:23.540 --> 00:29:24.340
 called

00:29:24.340 --> 00:29:25.160
 king

00:29:25.160 --> 00:29:27.580
 who presented

00:29:27.580 --> 00:29:28.560
 this image

00:29:28.560 --> 00:29:30.620
 that was

00:29:30.620 --> 00:29:31.660
 just pitiful

00:29:31.660 --> 00:29:34.519
 he's

00:29:34.519 --> 00:29:35.000
 bleeding

00:29:35.000 --> 00:29:35.900
 he's been

00:29:35.900 --> 00:29:36.440
 beaten

00:29:36.440 --> 00:29:37.720
 he's

00:29:37.720 --> 00:29:40.140
 God

00:29:40.140 --> 00:29:41.360
 you're

00:29:41.360 --> 00:29:41.920
 nothing

00:29:41.920 --> 00:29:44.400
 and so

00:29:44.400 --> 00:29:44.980
 they begin

00:29:44.980 --> 00:29:46.360
 heaping

00:29:46.360 --> 00:29:47.000
 abuse

00:29:47.000 --> 00:29:48.460
 on this

00:29:48.460 --> 00:29:49.100
 pathetic

00:29:49.100 --> 00:29:50.519
 example

00:29:50.519 --> 00:29:51.620
 of a

00:29:51.620 --> 00:29:51.860
 king

00:29:51.860 --> 00:29:54.560
 and I

00:29:54.560 --> 00:29:54.920
 imagine

00:29:54.920 --> 00:29:56.120
 when Jesus

00:29:56.120 --> 00:29:57.120
 was silent

00:29:57.120 --> 00:29:58.080
 that just

00:29:58.080 --> 00:29:58.880
 inflamed

00:29:58.880 --> 00:29:59.460
 them even

00:29:59.460 --> 00:29:59.880
 more

00:29:59.880 --> 00:30:04.140
 being

00:30:04.140 --> 00:30:04.740
 strong

00:30:04.740 --> 00:30:07.740
 for a

00:30:07.740 --> 00:30:08.100
 lot of

00:30:08.100 --> 00:30:08.320
 us

00:30:08.320 --> 00:30:08.640
 is a

00:30:08.640 --> 00:30:08.800
 very

00:30:08.800 --> 00:30:09.360
 desirable

00:30:09.360 --> 00:30:09.800
 place

00:30:09.800 --> 00:30:10.260
 to be

00:30:10.260 --> 00:30:13.000
 it's

00:30:13.000 --> 00:30:13.440
 also a

00:30:13.440 --> 00:30:13.640
 very

00:30:13.640 --> 00:30:14.320
 insecure

00:30:14.320 --> 00:30:15.980
 place

00:30:15.980 --> 00:30:16.820
 to be

00:30:16.820 --> 00:30:19.960
 I think

00:30:19.960 --> 00:30:20.540
 this is

00:30:20.540 --> 00:30:21.360
 really at

00:30:21.360 --> 00:30:21.840
 the root

00:30:21.840 --> 00:30:22.300
 of a

00:30:22.300 --> 00:30:22.740
 lot of

00:30:22.740 --> 00:30:23.100
 what we

00:30:23.100 --> 00:30:23.300
 would

00:30:23.300 --> 00:30:23.880
 call

00:30:23.880 --> 00:30:24.940
 you know

00:30:24.940 --> 00:30:26.120
 spousal

00:30:26.120 --> 00:30:26.640
 abuse

00:30:26.640 --> 00:30:28.620
 physical

00:30:28.620 --> 00:30:29.320
 abuse

00:30:29.319 --> 00:30:30.559
 even

00:30:30.559 --> 00:30:31.099
 sexual

00:30:31.099 --> 00:30:31.539
 abuse

00:30:31.539 --> 00:30:31.980
 where the

00:30:31.980 --> 00:30:32.759
 strong

00:30:32.759 --> 00:30:35.200
 preys upon

00:30:35.200 --> 00:30:36.079
 those who

00:30:36.079 --> 00:30:36.759
 are weak

00:30:36.759 --> 00:30:38.000
 because

00:30:38.000 --> 00:30:38.700
 somehow

00:30:38.700 --> 00:30:40.279
 their sense

00:30:40.279 --> 00:30:41.639
 of manhood

00:30:41.639 --> 00:30:42.819
 or being

00:30:42.819 --> 00:30:43.579
 strong

00:30:43.579 --> 00:30:44.439
 is threatened

00:30:44.439 --> 00:30:45.039
 and they need

00:30:45.039 --> 00:30:45.639
 to prove

00:30:45.639 --> 00:30:46.179
 themselves

00:30:46.179 --> 00:30:46.619
 that they

00:30:46.619 --> 00:30:46.839
 are

00:30:46.839 --> 00:30:47.899
 somebody

00:30:47.899 --> 00:30:53.679
 I think

00:30:53.679 --> 00:30:54.099
 this is

00:30:54.099 --> 00:30:54.839
 also why

00:30:54.839 --> 00:30:55.419
 many of

00:30:55.419 --> 00:30:55.899
 us do

00:30:55.899 --> 00:30:56.779
 not come

00:30:56.779 --> 00:30:57.559
 to Jesus

00:30:57.559 --> 00:31:00.659
 we

00:31:00.659 --> 00:31:01.000
 are taught

00:31:01.000 --> 00:31:01.819
 to be

00:31:01.819 --> 00:31:02.500
 more applicable

00:31:02.500 --> 00:31:03.059
 to men

00:31:03.059 --> 00:31:03.480
 though I

00:31:03.480 --> 00:31:03.940
 don't think

00:31:03.940 --> 00:31:04.159
 it's

00:31:04.159 --> 00:31:04.659
 exclusive

00:31:04.659 --> 00:31:07.940
 we are

00:31:07.940 --> 00:31:08.399
 taught to

00:31:08.399 --> 00:31:09.039
 be strong

00:31:09.039 --> 00:31:09.440
 we are

00:31:09.440 --> 00:31:09.940
 taught to

00:31:09.940 --> 00:31:10.599
 be capable

00:31:10.599 --> 00:31:11.200
 we are

00:31:11.200 --> 00:31:11.799
 taught to

00:31:11.799 --> 00:31:12.720
 be sufficient

00:31:12.720 --> 00:31:15.360
 we are

00:31:15.360 --> 00:31:16.120
 taught to

00:31:16.120 --> 00:31:16.600
 be able

00:31:16.600 --> 00:31:17.420
 to control

00:31:17.420 --> 00:31:18.319
 and manage

00:31:18.319 --> 00:31:18.960
 everything

00:31:18.960 --> 00:31:19.500
 weakness

00:31:19.500 --> 00:31:21.279
 is not

00:31:21.279 --> 00:31:22.559
 acceptable

00:31:22.559 --> 00:31:25.880
 it's not

00:31:25.880 --> 00:31:26.500
 desirable

00:31:26.500 --> 00:31:27.660
 it should be

00:31:27.660 --> 00:31:28.180
 avoided

00:31:28.180 --> 00:31:29.720
 at all

00:31:29.720 --> 00:31:30.900
 cost

00:31:30.900 --> 00:31:33.759
 you know

00:31:33.759 --> 00:31:34.360
 I've known

00:31:34.360 --> 00:31:35.160
 men

00:31:35.160 --> 00:31:37.339
 who will

00:31:37.339 --> 00:31:37.759
 not come

00:31:37.759 --> 00:31:38.279
 to Christ

00:31:38.279 --> 00:31:38.759
 because

00:31:38.759 --> 00:31:39.819
 their idea

00:31:39.819 --> 00:31:41.139
 of

00:31:41.139 --> 00:31:41.740
 Christianity

00:31:41.740 --> 00:31:42.740
 is that

00:31:42.740 --> 00:31:43.259
 it's just

00:31:43.259 --> 00:31:43.919
 a religion

00:31:43.919 --> 00:31:45.559
 for weak

00:31:45.559 --> 00:31:46.019
 old

00:31:46.019 --> 00:31:46.480
 women

00:31:46.480 --> 00:31:52.099
 strong

00:31:52.099 --> 00:31:52.339
 men

00:31:52.339 --> 00:31:52.859
 don't need

00:31:52.859 --> 00:31:53.419
 a crutch

00:31:53.419 --> 00:31:55.859
 coming to

00:31:55.859 --> 00:31:56.159
 Jesus

00:31:56.159 --> 00:31:56.839
 is not

00:31:56.839 --> 00:31:57.319
 for

00:31:57.319 --> 00:31:57.980
 the strong

00:31:57.980 --> 00:32:00.599
 and that's

00:32:00.599 --> 00:32:00.960
 true

00:32:00.960 --> 00:32:04.460
 coming to

00:32:04.460 --> 00:32:04.779
 Jesus

00:32:04.779 --> 00:32:05.220
 is for

00:32:05.220 --> 00:32:05.659
 the weak

00:32:05.660 --> 00:32:10.440
 and for

00:32:10.440 --> 00:32:10.820
 us to

00:32:10.820 --> 00:32:11.140
 come to

00:32:11.140 --> 00:32:11.500
 Jesus

00:32:11.500 --> 00:32:13.660
 we need

00:32:13.660 --> 00:32:14.279
 to come

00:32:14.279 --> 00:32:15.800
 and embrace

00:32:15.800 --> 00:32:17.420
 our weakness

00:32:17.420 --> 00:32:22.420
 Jesus

00:32:22.420 --> 00:32:23.860
 is for

00:32:23.860 --> 00:32:24.580
 the weak

00:32:24.580 --> 00:32:24.980
 unless

00:32:24.980 --> 00:32:25.980
 we are

00:32:25.980 --> 00:32:26.620
 willing

00:32:26.620 --> 00:32:27.660
 to bow

00:32:27.660 --> 00:32:28.500
 before

00:32:28.500 --> 00:32:29.240
 the all

00:32:29.240 --> 00:32:29.840
 powerful

00:32:29.840 --> 00:32:30.960
 all sufficient

00:32:30.960 --> 00:32:33.640
 king

00:32:33.640 --> 00:32:36.320
 we cannot

00:32:36.320 --> 00:32:36.900
 come

00:32:36.900 --> 00:32:37.620
 because

00:32:37.620 --> 00:32:38.540
 Jesus

00:32:38.540 --> 00:32:39.840
 the king

00:32:39.840 --> 00:32:40.800
 wants to

00:32:40.800 --> 00:32:41.140
 be the

00:32:41.140 --> 00:32:41.980
 benefactor

00:32:41.980 --> 00:32:42.460
 he wants

00:32:42.460 --> 00:32:42.960
 to be the

00:32:42.960 --> 00:32:43.500
 source

00:32:43.500 --> 00:32:44.180
 of all

00:32:44.180 --> 00:32:44.580
 that we

00:32:44.580 --> 00:32:45.280
 need

00:32:45.280 --> 00:32:46.400
 all that

00:32:46.400 --> 00:32:46.800
 we would

00:32:46.800 --> 00:32:47.180
 ever

00:32:47.180 --> 00:32:47.780
 desire

00:32:47.780 --> 00:32:49.300
 he wants

00:32:49.300 --> 00:32:49.720
 to be

00:32:49.720 --> 00:32:50.380
 the good

00:32:50.380 --> 00:32:51.240
 giver

00:32:51.240 --> 00:32:52.400
 of all

00:32:52.400 --> 00:32:53.060
 things

00:32:53.060 --> 00:32:53.520
 and for

00:32:53.520 --> 00:32:54.120
 us to

00:32:54.120 --> 00:32:54.800
 receive

00:32:54.800 --> 00:32:57.960
 we can't

00:32:57.960 --> 00:32:58.900
 have clenched

00:32:58.900 --> 00:33:00.220
 strong fists

00:33:00.220 --> 00:33:00.560
 they need

00:33:00.560 --> 00:33:00.820
 to be

00:33:00.820 --> 00:33:01.320
 open

00:33:01.319 --> 00:33:03.599
 we need

00:33:03.599 --> 00:33:03.839
 to be

00:33:03.839 --> 00:33:04.359
 asking

00:33:04.359 --> 00:33:07.960
 this

00:33:07.960 --> 00:33:08.579
 is how

00:33:08.579 --> 00:33:09.339
 we come

00:33:09.339 --> 00:33:10.460
 to

00:33:10.460 --> 00:33:10.939
 Jesus

00:33:10.939 --> 00:33:12.359
 where we

00:33:12.359 --> 00:33:13.159
 despair

00:33:13.159 --> 00:33:14.419
 of our

00:33:14.419 --> 00:33:15.159
 ability

00:33:15.159 --> 00:33:18.500
 and we

00:33:18.500 --> 00:33:18.960
 turn to

00:33:18.960 --> 00:33:19.299
 him

00:33:19.299 --> 00:33:20.899
 for

00:33:20.899 --> 00:33:21.500
 everything

00:33:21.500 --> 00:33:24.799
 that's

00:33:24.799 --> 00:33:24.960
 the

00:33:24.960 --> 00:33:25.359
 soldiers

00:33:25.359 --> 00:33:26.899
 so the

00:33:26.899 --> 00:33:27.359
 road to

00:33:27.359 --> 00:33:27.859
 Jesus

00:33:27.859 --> 00:33:29.799
 the road

00:33:29.799 --> 00:33:30.639
 to glory

00:33:30.640 --> 00:33:33.360
 begins

00:33:33.360 --> 00:33:33.740
 at the

00:33:33.740 --> 00:33:34.220
 bottom

00:33:34.220 --> 00:33:36.240
 not the

00:33:36.240 --> 00:33:36.640
 top

00:33:36.640 --> 00:33:40.759
 all right

00:33:40.759 --> 00:33:41.200
 let's look at the

00:33:41.200 --> 00:33:41.640
 crowds

00:33:41.640 --> 00:33:43.820
 in verse 13

00:33:43.820 --> 00:33:45.000
 we finally see

00:33:45.000 --> 00:33:45.680
 that it's not

00:33:45.680 --> 00:33:46.360
 just the

00:33:46.360 --> 00:33:47.020
 Jewish leaders

00:33:47.020 --> 00:33:48.560
 in verse 13

00:33:48.560 --> 00:33:49.360
 we see

00:33:49.360 --> 00:33:50.360
 now that the

00:33:50.360 --> 00:33:51.000
 Jewish leaders

00:33:51.000 --> 00:33:51.840
 have gotten

00:33:51.840 --> 00:33:53.140
 everybody

00:33:53.140 --> 00:33:54.000
 involved

00:33:54.000 --> 00:33:55.680
 and the

00:33:55.680 --> 00:33:56.280
 crowds

00:33:56.280 --> 00:33:56.840
 are now

00:33:56.840 --> 00:33:57.660
 working with

00:33:57.660 --> 00:33:58.000
 them

00:33:58.000 --> 00:33:58.600
 and how

00:33:58.600 --> 00:33:59.420
 quickly they

00:33:59.420 --> 00:34:00.080
 have turned

00:34:00.079 --> 00:34:00.819
 because just

00:34:00.819 --> 00:34:01.619
 day or two

00:34:01.619 --> 00:34:02.159
 before

00:34:02.159 --> 00:34:03.179
 Jesus was

00:34:03.179 --> 00:34:03.720
 their hero

00:34:03.720 --> 00:34:05.480
 and now

00:34:05.480 --> 00:34:06.980
 they're declaring

00:34:06.980 --> 00:34:08.920
 him

00:34:08.920 --> 00:34:10.460
 the great

00:34:10.460 --> 00:34:11.779
 villain

00:34:11.779 --> 00:34:12.980
 who needs

00:34:12.980 --> 00:34:13.460
 to die

00:34:13.460 --> 00:34:15.980
 what happened

00:34:15.980 --> 00:34:18.699
 well I mean

00:34:18.699 --> 00:34:19.239
 it's

00:34:19.239 --> 00:34:20.759
 pretty amazing

00:34:20.759 --> 00:34:22.239
 how powerful

00:34:22.239 --> 00:34:23.159
 a force

00:34:23.159 --> 00:34:23.880
 is

00:34:23.880 --> 00:34:24.480
 public

00:34:24.480 --> 00:34:25.179
 opinion

00:34:25.179 --> 00:34:28.460
 psychologists

00:34:28.460 --> 00:34:29.639
 sociologists

00:34:29.639 --> 00:34:30.299
 have done

00:34:30.299 --> 00:34:30.679
 all this

00:34:30.679 --> 00:34:31.319
 research

00:34:31.319 --> 00:34:32.339
 they all

00:34:32.339 --> 00:34:32.819
 do these

00:34:32.819 --> 00:34:33.299
 tests

00:34:33.299 --> 00:34:34.779
 and they'll

00:34:34.779 --> 00:34:35.319
 show you

00:34:35.319 --> 00:34:35.739
 a picture

00:34:35.739 --> 00:34:36.440
 of three

00:34:36.440 --> 00:34:37.059
 lines

00:34:37.059 --> 00:34:38.339
 two of them

00:34:38.339 --> 00:34:38.679
 are the

00:34:38.679 --> 00:34:39.000
 same

00:34:39.000 --> 00:34:39.539
 and one

00:34:39.539 --> 00:34:39.879
 of them

00:34:39.879 --> 00:34:40.319
 is very

00:34:40.319 --> 00:34:41.039
 obviously

00:34:41.039 --> 00:34:42.139
 shorter

00:34:42.139 --> 00:34:42.579
 than the

00:34:42.579 --> 00:34:42.799
 other

00:34:42.799 --> 00:34:43.039
 and they

00:34:43.039 --> 00:34:43.379
 want you

00:34:43.379 --> 00:34:43.719
 to pick

00:34:43.719 --> 00:34:44.099
 out the

00:34:44.099 --> 00:34:44.419
 shortest

00:34:44.419 --> 00:34:45.079
 line

00:34:45.079 --> 00:34:47.679
 well if

00:34:47.679 --> 00:34:48.199
 it's just

00:34:48.199 --> 00:34:49.079
 an individual

00:34:49.079 --> 00:34:50.239
 they get

00:34:50.239 --> 00:34:50.559
 it every

00:34:50.559 --> 00:34:51.099
 time

00:34:51.099 --> 00:34:54.079
 but for a

00:34:54.079 --> 00:34:54.420
 lot of

00:34:54.420 --> 00:34:54.539
 them

00:34:54.539 --> 00:34:54.739
 they're

00:34:54.739 --> 00:34:55.400
 told

00:34:55.400 --> 00:34:57.500
 that people

00:34:57.500 --> 00:34:58.199
 have chosen

00:34:58.199 --> 00:34:58.920
 one of the

00:34:58.920 --> 00:34:59.639
 other two

00:34:59.639 --> 00:35:03.119
 and it's

00:35:03.119 --> 00:35:03.980
 amazing how

00:35:03.980 --> 00:35:04.480
 they will

00:35:04.480 --> 00:35:05.139
 turn

00:35:05.139 --> 00:35:06.139
 from what

00:35:06.139 --> 00:35:06.819
 they see

00:35:06.819 --> 00:35:07.480
 clearly

00:35:07.480 --> 00:35:10.719
 and agree

00:35:10.719 --> 00:35:11.940
 with the

00:35:11.940 --> 00:35:12.400
 majority

00:35:12.400 --> 00:35:15.319
 even though

00:35:15.319 --> 00:35:16.139
 it's clearly

00:35:16.139 --> 00:35:16.659
 wrong

00:35:16.659 --> 00:35:18.279
 doesn't

00:35:18.279 --> 00:35:18.679
 matter

00:35:18.679 --> 00:35:20.519
 they want

00:35:20.519 --> 00:35:20.899
 to be

00:35:20.899 --> 00:35:21.579
 with

00:35:21.579 --> 00:35:22.059
 everybody

00:35:22.059 --> 00:35:22.519
 else

00:35:22.519 --> 00:35:23.099
 they

00:35:23.099 --> 00:35:23.899
 want

00:35:23.899 --> 00:35:24.960
 to be

00:35:24.960 --> 00:35:26.239
 relevant

00:35:26.239 --> 00:35:31.859
 being

00:35:31.859 --> 00:35:32.219
 out of

00:35:32.219 --> 00:35:32.779
 touch

00:35:32.779 --> 00:35:34.599
 invites

00:35:34.599 --> 00:35:35.379
 ridicule

00:35:35.379 --> 00:35:36.079
 rejection

00:35:36.079 --> 00:35:39.920
 you know

00:35:39.920 --> 00:35:40.299
 today

00:35:40.299 --> 00:35:40.779
 I mean

00:35:40.779 --> 00:35:41.440
 think about

00:35:41.440 --> 00:35:41.699
 it

00:35:41.699 --> 00:35:42.399
 just a

00:35:42.399 --> 00:35:42.619
 couple

00:35:42.619 --> 00:35:42.819
 of

00:35:42.819 --> 00:35:43.219
 decades

00:35:43.219 --> 00:35:43.619
 ago

00:35:43.619 --> 00:35:44.079
 there were

00:35:44.079 --> 00:35:44.420
 certain

00:35:44.420 --> 00:35:44.980
 particular

00:35:44.980 --> 00:35:45.259
 in the

00:35:45.259 --> 00:35:45.440
 area

00:35:45.440 --> 00:35:45.619
 of

00:35:45.619 --> 00:35:46.000
 sexual

00:35:46.000 --> 00:35:46.519
 morality

00:35:46.519 --> 00:35:47.079
 there were

00:35:47.079 --> 00:35:48.679
 so much

00:35:48.679 --> 00:35:49.179
 that was

00:35:49.179 --> 00:35:49.800
 taboo

00:35:49.800 --> 00:35:50.159
 that we

00:35:50.159 --> 00:35:50.440
 wouldn't

00:35:50.440 --> 00:35:50.659
 even

00:35:50.659 --> 00:35:51.239
 think

00:35:51.239 --> 00:35:51.559
 about

00:35:51.559 --> 00:35:51.820
 was

00:35:51.820 --> 00:35:52.420
 appropriate

00:35:52.420 --> 00:35:53.440
 and now

00:35:53.440 --> 00:35:55.659
 even

00:35:55.659 --> 00:35:56.219
 believers

00:35:56.219 --> 00:35:59.079
 have no

00:35:59.079 --> 00:35:59.619
 objections

00:35:59.619 --> 00:36:01.800
 it's

00:36:01.800 --> 00:36:02.739
 okay

00:36:02.739 --> 00:36:07.500
 we

00:36:07.500 --> 00:36:09.500
 love

00:36:09.500 --> 00:36:11.059
 relevance

00:36:11.059 --> 00:36:13.139
 we're

00:36:13.139 --> 00:36:13.599
 addicted

00:36:13.599 --> 00:36:14.860
 to

00:36:14.860 --> 00:36:15.360
 relevance

00:36:15.360 --> 00:36:15.780
 social

00:36:15.780 --> 00:36:16.220
 media

00:36:16.220 --> 00:36:16.620
 make

00:36:16.620 --> 00:36:17.060
 sure

00:36:17.060 --> 00:36:17.519
 make

00:36:17.519 --> 00:36:17.940
 sure

00:36:17.940 --> 00:36:17.980
 we

00:36:17.980 --> 00:36:18.980
 conform

00:36:18.980 --> 00:36:20.800
 so

00:36:20.800 --> 00:36:21.060
 we're

00:36:21.060 --> 00:36:21.540
 relevant

00:36:21.540 --> 00:36:24.580
 because

00:36:24.580 --> 00:36:24.700
 if

00:36:24.700 --> 00:36:24.820
 you're

00:36:24.820 --> 00:36:25.320
 not

00:36:25.320 --> 00:36:28.440
 there

00:36:28.440 --> 00:36:28.900
 you go

00:36:28.900 --> 00:36:29.580
 you're

00:36:29.580 --> 00:36:29.620
 going to

00:36:29.620 --> 00:36:30.040
 be cast

00:36:30.040 --> 00:36:30.500
 out

00:36:30.500 --> 00:36:33.160
 and this

00:36:33.160 --> 00:36:33.700
 may be

00:36:33.700 --> 00:36:34.380
 the bad

00:36:34.380 --> 00:36:34.740
 news of

00:36:34.740 --> 00:36:35.240
 the gospel

00:36:35.240 --> 00:36:37.720
 but if

00:36:37.720 --> 00:36:38.019
 you're going to

00:36:38.019 --> 00:36:38.300
 come to

00:36:38.300 --> 00:36:38.560
 Christ

00:36:38.560 --> 00:36:38.880
 you need

00:36:38.880 --> 00:36:39.180
 to know

00:36:39.180 --> 00:36:39.620
 something

00:36:39.619 --> 00:36:42.299
 Jesus

00:36:42.299 --> 00:36:42.759
 is not

00:36:42.759 --> 00:36:43.279
 relevant

00:36:43.279 --> 00:36:46.139
 he is

00:36:46.139 --> 00:36:46.359
 not

00:36:46.359 --> 00:36:46.980
 culturally

00:36:46.980 --> 00:36:48.819
 or socially

00:36:48.819 --> 00:36:50.259
 relevant

00:36:50.259 --> 00:36:52.819
 yes he

00:36:52.819 --> 00:36:53.519
 speaks into

00:36:53.519 --> 00:36:54.199
 our life

00:36:54.199 --> 00:36:55.079
 clearly

00:36:55.079 --> 00:36:55.779
 it doesn't

00:36:55.779 --> 00:36:56.639
 matter what

00:36:56.639 --> 00:36:57.099
 culture

00:36:57.099 --> 00:36:57.839
 what time

00:36:57.839 --> 00:36:58.420
 but

00:36:58.420 --> 00:37:00.259
 what he

00:37:00.259 --> 00:37:00.980
 says

00:37:00.980 --> 00:37:04.679
 you won't

00:37:04.679 --> 00:37:05.219
 find

00:37:05.219 --> 00:37:06.500
 in popular

00:37:06.500 --> 00:37:06.980
 opinion

00:37:06.980 --> 00:37:10.260
 in fact

00:37:10.260 --> 00:37:11.139
 Matthew 5

00:37:11.139 --> 00:37:11.740
 11 and

00:37:11.740 --> 00:37:12.039
 12

00:37:12.039 --> 00:37:12.440
 Jesus

00:37:12.440 --> 00:37:13.000
 promises

00:37:13.000 --> 00:37:13.340
 us

00:37:13.340 --> 00:37:13.760
 this

00:37:13.760 --> 00:37:15.360
 he said

00:37:15.360 --> 00:37:15.760
 blessed

00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:16.719
 are you

00:37:16.719 --> 00:37:17.960
 note that

00:37:17.960 --> 00:37:18.659
 first word

00:37:18.659 --> 00:37:19.599
 blessed

00:37:19.599 --> 00:37:20.760
 are you

00:37:20.760 --> 00:37:22.440
 when others

00:37:22.440 --> 00:37:23.380
 revile you

00:37:23.380 --> 00:37:24.559
 and persecute

00:37:24.559 --> 00:37:25.320
 you and

00:37:25.320 --> 00:37:25.960
 other all

00:37:25.960 --> 00:37:26.599
 kinds of

00:37:26.599 --> 00:37:27.320
 evil against

00:37:27.320 --> 00:37:28.539
 you falsely

00:37:28.539 --> 00:37:29.480
 on my

00:37:29.480 --> 00:37:30.000
 account

00:37:30.000 --> 00:37:31.039
 rejoice

00:37:31.039 --> 00:37:32.280
 and be

00:37:32.280 --> 00:37:33.019
 glad

00:37:33.019 --> 00:37:34.800
 for your

00:37:34.800 --> 00:37:35.340
 reward

00:37:35.340 --> 00:37:37.100
 is great

00:37:37.100 --> 00:37:38.320
 in heaven

00:37:38.320 --> 00:37:42.960
 allegiance

00:37:42.960 --> 00:37:43.740
 to Jesus

00:37:43.740 --> 00:37:46.000
 means we

00:37:46.000 --> 00:37:46.600
 enter

00:37:46.600 --> 00:37:48.100
 into

00:37:48.100 --> 00:37:49.580
 opposition

00:37:49.580 --> 00:37:52.260
 with everything

00:37:52.260 --> 00:37:52.880
 that's relevant

00:37:52.880 --> 00:37:54.340
 everything

00:37:54.340 --> 00:37:55.200
 that's popular

00:37:55.200 --> 00:37:56.519
 everything

00:37:56.519 --> 00:37:57.719
 that flows

00:37:57.719 --> 00:37:58.719
 with

00:37:58.719 --> 00:38:00.320
 popular

00:38:00.320 --> 00:38:00.960
 opinion

00:38:00.960 --> 00:38:02.420
 and culture

00:38:02.420 --> 00:38:03.440
 and society

00:38:03.440 --> 00:38:04.739
 because

00:38:04.739 --> 00:38:06.259
 he comes

00:38:06.259 --> 00:38:06.719
 to bring

00:38:06.719 --> 00:38:07.179
 a different

00:38:07.179 --> 00:38:07.699
 kingdom

00:38:07.699 --> 00:38:12.719
 and we

00:38:12.719 --> 00:38:13.559
 may lose

00:38:13.559 --> 00:38:14.619
 here

00:38:14.619 --> 00:38:17.699
 but there's

00:38:17.699 --> 00:38:18.380
 a promise

00:38:18.380 --> 00:38:21.739
 whatever

00:38:21.739 --> 00:38:22.159
 you lose

00:38:22.159 --> 00:38:22.559
 here

00:38:22.559 --> 00:38:24.199
 is

00:38:24.199 --> 00:38:25.000
 nothing

00:38:25.000 --> 00:38:26.980
 compared

00:38:26.980 --> 00:38:27.739
 to what

00:38:27.739 --> 00:38:27.920
 you're

00:38:27.920 --> 00:38:28.159
 going to

00:38:28.159 --> 00:38:28.539
 gain

00:38:28.539 --> 00:38:30.860
 because

00:38:30.860 --> 00:38:31.440
 we may

00:38:31.440 --> 00:38:31.980
 lose

00:38:31.980 --> 00:38:32.539
 what is

00:38:32.539 --> 00:38:32.900
 fake

00:38:32.900 --> 00:38:33.440
 and false

00:38:33.440 --> 00:38:33.880
 here

00:38:33.880 --> 00:38:36.239
 what is

00:38:36.239 --> 00:38:36.860
 unable

00:38:36.860 --> 00:38:37.420
 to keep

00:38:37.420 --> 00:38:38.079
 us secure

00:38:38.079 --> 00:38:41.579
 and he

00:38:41.579 --> 00:38:41.940
 will make

00:38:41.940 --> 00:38:42.480
 us sons

00:38:42.480 --> 00:38:43.320
 and daughters

00:38:43.320 --> 00:38:44.699
 of heaven

00:38:44.699 --> 00:38:46.980
 and give

00:38:46.980 --> 00:38:47.280
 us

00:38:47.280 --> 00:38:48.000
 everything

00:38:48.000 --> 00:38:48.699
 everything

00:38:48.699 --> 00:38:53.019
 so

00:38:53.019 --> 00:38:53.219
 which

00:38:53.219 --> 00:38:53.300
 are you

00:38:53.300 --> 00:38:53.539
 going to

00:38:53.539 --> 00:38:54.139
 choose

00:38:54.139 --> 00:38:58.679
 finally

00:38:58.679 --> 00:38:59.280
 the last

00:38:59.280 --> 00:38:59.880
 character

00:38:59.880 --> 00:39:02.659
 is

00:39:02.659 --> 00:39:03.400
 Barabbas

00:39:03.400 --> 00:39:07.519
 first time

00:39:07.519 --> 00:39:08.460
 only time

00:39:08.460 --> 00:39:08.940
 he's ever

00:39:08.940 --> 00:39:09.320
 mentioned

00:39:09.320 --> 00:39:11.340
 Barabbas

00:39:11.340 --> 00:39:11.860
 was a

00:39:11.860 --> 00:39:13.239
 insurrectionist

00:39:13.239 --> 00:39:14.719
 he was

00:39:14.719 --> 00:39:15.199
 a murderer

00:39:15.199 --> 00:39:18.599
 but Barabbas

00:39:18.599 --> 00:39:19.219
 is interesting

00:39:19.219 --> 00:39:20.939
 he's the

00:39:20.939 --> 00:39:21.619
 only guy

00:39:21.619 --> 00:39:24.279
 who very

00:39:24.279 --> 00:39:25.179
 tangibly

00:39:25.179 --> 00:39:28.699
 gained his

00:39:28.699 --> 00:39:29.159
 life

00:39:29.159 --> 00:39:31.299
 because

00:39:31.299 --> 00:39:31.979
 Jesus took

00:39:31.979 --> 00:39:32.500
 his place

00:39:32.500 --> 00:39:35.539
 and I've

00:39:35.539 --> 00:39:36.119
 always wondered

00:39:36.119 --> 00:39:36.799
 whatever

00:39:36.799 --> 00:39:37.399
 happened

00:39:37.399 --> 00:39:38.619
 to Barabbas

00:39:38.619 --> 00:39:40.079
 after that

00:39:40.079 --> 00:39:40.419
 when he

00:39:40.419 --> 00:39:40.979
 realized

00:39:40.980 --> 00:39:41.780
 what happened

00:39:41.780 --> 00:39:44.019
 we can only

00:39:44.019 --> 00:39:44.460
 speculate

00:39:44.460 --> 00:39:46.400
 we don't

00:39:46.400 --> 00:39:46.679
 know

00:39:46.679 --> 00:39:49.480
 but the

00:39:49.480 --> 00:39:50.059
 question is

00:39:50.059 --> 00:39:50.559
 really not

00:39:50.559 --> 00:39:51.440
 how Barabbas

00:39:51.440 --> 00:39:52.840
 responded

00:39:52.840 --> 00:39:55.079
 but how

00:39:55.079 --> 00:39:55.840
 we respond

00:39:55.840 --> 00:39:59.380
 because we

00:39:59.380 --> 00:39:59.659
 are the

00:39:59.659 --> 00:40:00.079
 convicted

00:40:00.079 --> 00:40:00.940
 insurrectionists

00:40:00.940 --> 00:40:01.400
 we are the

00:40:01.400 --> 00:40:01.740
 rebels

00:40:01.740 --> 00:40:04.079
 we are

00:40:04.079 --> 00:40:05.099
 the murderers

00:40:05.099 --> 00:40:06.099
 we are

00:40:06.099 --> 00:40:06.920
 the guilty

00:40:06.920 --> 00:40:10.019
 and this

00:40:10.019 --> 00:40:10.559
 king

00:40:10.559 --> 00:40:11.840
 who

00:40:11.840 --> 00:40:12.699
 voluntarily

00:40:12.699 --> 00:40:13.579
 he

00:40:13.579 --> 00:40:14.199
 convicted

00:40:14.199 --> 00:40:15.079
 himself

00:40:15.079 --> 00:40:15.779
 in this

00:40:15.779 --> 00:40:16.619
 court

00:40:16.619 --> 00:40:20.000
 he gave

00:40:20.000 --> 00:40:20.559
 himself

00:40:20.559 --> 00:40:21.139
 up

00:40:21.139 --> 00:40:24.119
 this

00:40:24.119 --> 00:40:24.500
 king

00:40:24.500 --> 00:40:24.699
 who

00:40:24.699 --> 00:40:25.139
 calls

00:40:25.139 --> 00:40:25.559
 you

00:40:25.559 --> 00:40:25.860
 to

00:40:25.860 --> 00:40:26.599
 himself

00:40:26.599 --> 00:40:29.539
 he

00:40:29.539 --> 00:40:29.799
 doesn't

00:40:29.799 --> 00:40:30.019
 just

00:40:30.019 --> 00:40:30.559
 command

00:40:30.559 --> 00:40:30.880
 your

00:40:30.880 --> 00:40:31.380
 allegiance

00:40:31.380 --> 00:40:33.679
 he

00:40:33.679 --> 00:40:34.139
 wins

00:40:34.139 --> 00:40:34.480
 it

00:40:34.480 --> 00:40:37.079
 because

00:40:37.079 --> 00:40:37.340
 the

00:40:37.340 --> 00:40:37.639
 death

00:40:37.639 --> 00:40:37.820
 you

00:40:37.820 --> 00:40:38.039
 should

00:40:38.039 --> 00:40:38.179
 have

00:40:38.179 --> 00:40:38.659
 died

00:40:38.659 --> 00:40:39.420
 because

00:40:39.420 --> 00:40:39.719
 of

00:40:39.719 --> 00:40:39.920
 your

00:40:39.920 --> 00:40:40.460
 crimes

00:40:40.460 --> 00:40:41.659
 he died

00:40:41.659 --> 00:40:44.480
 the life

00:40:44.480 --> 00:40:44.840
 that you

00:40:44.840 --> 00:40:45.380
 could not

00:40:45.380 --> 00:40:45.980
 live

00:40:45.980 --> 00:40:48.179
 he lived

00:40:48.179 --> 00:40:51.659
 he

00:40:51.659 --> 00:40:52.280
 became

00:40:52.280 --> 00:40:53.860
 just like

00:40:53.860 --> 00:40:54.280
 you

00:40:54.280 --> 00:40:57.840
 so that

00:40:57.840 --> 00:40:58.220
 you

00:40:58.220 --> 00:40:59.440
 could

00:40:59.440 --> 00:40:59.940
 become

00:40:59.940 --> 00:41:01.460
 like

00:41:01.460 --> 00:41:01.760
 him

00:41:01.760 --> 00:41:05.039
 he took

00:41:05.039 --> 00:41:06.019
 all of

00:41:06.019 --> 00:41:06.740
 your guilt

00:41:06.739 --> 00:41:07.939
 he

00:41:07.939 --> 00:41:10.039
 and

00:41:10.039 --> 00:41:10.079
 he

00:41:10.079 --> 00:41:10.439
 gives

00:41:10.439 --> 00:41:10.779
 you

00:41:10.779 --> 00:41:12.579
 glory

00:41:12.579 --> 00:41:12.759
 glory

00:41:12.759 --> 00:41:16.459
 this

00:41:16.459 --> 00:41:17.679
 is what

00:41:17.679 --> 00:41:18.479
 who this

00:41:18.479 --> 00:41:19.179
 king is

00:41:19.179 --> 00:41:20.419
 so how

00:41:20.419 --> 00:41:20.699
 are you

00:41:20.699 --> 00:41:20.959
 going to

00:41:20.959 --> 00:41:21.599

00:41:44.019 --> 00:41:45.339

00:41:45.339 --> 00:41:45.940
 to avoid

00:41:45.940 --> 00:41:46.619
 weakness

00:41:59.000 --> 00:41:59.860
 replace it

00:41:59.860 --> 00:42:00.860
 with

00:42:00.860 --> 00:42:02.000
 divine

00:42:02.000 --> 00:42:02.900
 power

00:42:07.120 --> 00:42:07.539

00:42:16.360 --> 00:42:16.940
 life

00:42:16.940 --> 00:42:18.960

00:42:18.960 --> 00:42:19.340
 death

00:42:19.340 --> 00:42:22.260
 isn't that
