00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.839
 If you would open up your Bibles to John chapter 12.

00:00:08.240 --> 00:00:12.919
 It's on page 1068 of your pew Bible.

00:00:15.880 --> 00:00:16.480
!

00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:19.960
 We've got something controversial here.

00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:23.280
 Let me just pray for us one more time.

00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:31.140
 Father, would you pour out your Spirit upon us that Jesus would be magnified now.

00:00:32.460 --> 00:00:36.679
 Cause all hearts in the room to rise to the King.

00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:39.780
 In Jesus' name, amen.

00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:45.340
 You know, there are certain names of people that if you bring up in a conversation,

00:00:46.180 --> 00:00:49.840
 you're going to get an immediate response because they're controversial.

00:00:50.579 --> 00:00:53.260
 Do you remember the whole Bad Bunny situation in the Super Bowl?

00:00:54.280 --> 00:00:55.140
 Controversial.

00:00:55.800 --> 00:01:01.480
 If you bring up Anthony Fauci's name in conversation, it's going to be controversial.

00:01:02.039 --> 00:01:06.040
 If you bring up Donald Trump's name in a conversation, it'll be controversial.

00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:18.540
 But the most controversial person that has ever walked on the planet is Jesus Christ by far.

00:01:18.540 --> 00:01:21.300
 You bring his name up in a conversation.

00:01:21.860 --> 00:01:23.800
 And you're going to get a variety of responses.

00:01:24.760 --> 00:01:29.940
 And Jesus is controversial because of who he claimed to be and what he has claimed to do.

00:01:30.020 --> 00:01:31.360
 He claimed to be God in the flesh.

00:01:31.820 --> 00:01:37.740
 And he claims to be the only way by which a sinner can be saved.

00:01:37.739 --> 00:01:40.339
 And the question is, is that true?

00:01:41.119 --> 00:01:42.239
 Is he the King?

00:01:43.519 --> 00:01:44.659
 Is he your King?

00:01:44.659 --> 00:01:53.939
 Two weeks ago, when we were in John 10, there was controversy over these two titles that Jesus had claimed for himself.

00:01:53.939 --> 00:02:03.019
 The Christ or the Messiah, this long-awaited king, and the other title, Son of God, which means he's fully God.

00:02:03.019 --> 00:02:14.699
 And last week, after he raised Lazarus from the dead, in great controversy, the religious leaders started to plot his death.

00:02:15.359 --> 00:02:17.139
 They wanted to assassinate him.

00:02:18.359 --> 00:02:19.680
 And so here's John 12.

00:02:20.019 --> 00:02:25.319
 And John 12 is a bit of a pivot in the entire gospel of John.

00:02:25.379 --> 00:02:31.960
 Because John 12 is essentially Jesus' last call for people to believe in him.

00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:36.400
 It's his last public engagement of the crowds.

00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:44.300
 Next week, we'll start in on John 13, where Jesus will be interacting with his disciples.

00:02:44.600 --> 00:02:50.120
 And from there on out, we're going to have smaller interactions in more private settings between Jesus and people.

00:02:51.260 --> 00:02:52.500
 So this is a pivot.

00:02:53.500 --> 00:02:55.120
 This is a last call.

00:02:56.340 --> 00:02:59.680
 And there are a variety of reactions we're going to see in chapter 12.

00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:04.219
 We're going to first see an extravagant response.

00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:06.580
 It's going to be shocking.

00:03:07.740 --> 00:03:17.360
 And we're also going to see a response of false pretense, of some people who are trying to make the savior of their own making.

00:03:17.860 --> 00:03:20.500
 We're going to see unbelief of various kinds.

00:03:20.600 --> 00:03:23.500
 We're going to see the unbelief that's the result of loving money.

00:03:23.500 --> 00:03:26.800
 We're going to see the unbelief of fearing man.

00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:29.979
 All sorts of different responses.

00:03:31.460 --> 00:03:32.699
 Jesus is controversial.

00:03:34.979 --> 00:03:38.159
 Is Jesus the king?

00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:42.800
 Let me show you how we're going to walk through the passage.

00:03:43.099 --> 00:03:44.360
 We're going to look at his anointing.

00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:47.379
 We're going to look at his arrival into Jerusalem.

00:03:47.379 --> 00:03:50.419
 We're going to look at him and say, it's go time.

00:03:51.219 --> 00:03:56.560
 And then we have an explanation for why the Jews are not believing.

00:03:57.659 --> 00:03:59.560
 And then there's the last call.

00:03:59.900 --> 00:04:05.500
 The last two scenes of unbelief and the last call, I'm just going to touch on briefly.

00:04:07.079 --> 00:04:10.079
 So, is Jesus the king?

00:04:11.659 --> 00:04:12.879
 Is he your king?

00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:16.279
 And how do you respond to him?

00:04:17.719 --> 00:04:20.019
 So, let's look at verses 1 through 11.

00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:27.219
 Because of the amount of scripture we're going to be getting through, I'm just going to be summarizing as we work through the passage.

00:04:27.860 --> 00:04:31.639
 And in this passage, scene 1, this anointing, we see something unforgettable.

00:04:31.899 --> 00:04:33.120
 It's in verses 1 through 11.

00:04:33.779 --> 00:04:40.339
 Last week, we learned that after Jesus had raised Lazarus from the dead, the Pharisees wanted to kill him.

00:04:40.339 --> 00:04:43.079
 And so, he left the area into the wilderness.

00:04:43.219 --> 00:04:45.560
 It was not his time to die.

00:04:46.179 --> 00:04:50.119
 But here, in chapter 12, it's now six days before the Passover.

00:04:50.500 --> 00:04:55.799
 And the Passover is this huge feast the Jews would observe in Jerusalem,

00:04:56.359 --> 00:05:01.239
 where they would remember God's deliverance of them from Egypt,

00:05:01.859 --> 00:05:04.000
 and they would kill lambs.

00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:14.540
 So, now Jesus, who had left the Jerusalem area because it was not his time to die,

00:05:14.980 --> 00:05:19.480
 is now comes back to Bethany because he's invited to come to a feast,

00:05:19.699 --> 00:05:24.319
 because he's the honored guest, because he's raised Lazarus from the dead.

00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:29.139
 And so, he goes back to Bethany, which is just under two miles away from Jerusalem,

00:05:29.139 --> 00:05:30.699
 and they gave a dinner for him.

00:05:31.060 --> 00:05:34.419
 Martha is there, and she's doing what she's known for.

00:05:34.500 --> 00:05:35.120
 She's serving.

00:05:36.459 --> 00:05:39.360
 Lazarus is there, who was raised from the dead.

00:05:39.379 --> 00:05:42.219
 He's reclining at the table next to Jesus.

00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:46.079
 And then the focus falls on Mary.

00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:52.219
 Mary, therefore, took a pound of expensive ointment made from pure nard

00:05:52.219 --> 00:05:55.680
 and anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped his feet with her hair.

00:05:56.439 --> 00:05:58.959
 The house was filled with fragrance of the perfume.

00:05:59.079 --> 00:06:00.740
 If you were in the room at this moment,

00:06:01.399 --> 00:06:05.060
 my guess is you'd be saying, this is extraordinary.

00:06:06.819 --> 00:06:10.279
 This, this is, it almost feels over the top.

00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:20.799
 The perfume, the nard, estimates have it in modern day money as around $45,000.

00:06:22.439 --> 00:06:25.019
 This is one of her prized possessions.

00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:27.599
 They would have been a wealthy family.

00:06:29.099 --> 00:06:34.099
 But, but in order for her to pour the nard onto his feet,

00:06:34.459 --> 00:06:36.459
 that means she had a certain posture.

00:06:37.559 --> 00:06:38.819
 Where do you think she was?

00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:41.039
 She was at his feet.

00:06:42.619 --> 00:06:45.879
 So not only is she offering her most prized possession,

00:06:45.879 --> 00:06:49.779
 her posture is one of at his feet.

00:06:50.779 --> 00:06:53.699
 And then the pride of women in the first century was their hair.

00:06:54.939 --> 00:06:56.119
 And what is she doing?

00:06:56.500 --> 00:07:02.799
 She's using her hair like, like a towel you clean somebody's feet with.

00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:07.619
 She's, she's, it's all submitted to Jesus.

00:07:07.620 --> 00:07:10.600
 It's, it's, it's the posture.

00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:12.459
 It's the prized possession.

00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:18.360
 It's, it's how she is anointing and spreading this perfume upon his feet.

00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:21.899
 It's, it's a picture of extravagance.

00:07:22.060 --> 00:07:24.439
 It's a picture of, this is extraordinary.

00:07:24.920 --> 00:07:30.480
 It's a picture in which, oh, she's all in.

00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:33.640
 It's a picture of full surrender.

00:07:33.639 --> 00:07:34.639
 She's all in.

00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:38.680
 All that she is, all that she has at the feet of Jesus.

00:07:40.599 --> 00:07:42.039
 She knows something.

00:07:43.139 --> 00:07:46.620
 This is the man who raised her brother from the dead.

00:07:46.620 --> 00:07:52.160
 This is the man who is the Christ, the son of God, the son of man.

00:07:53.280 --> 00:07:57.939
 This is the one who had healed a man born blind.

00:07:58.980 --> 00:08:03.280
 She knows who this is, even though he, she, he hasn't died.

00:08:03.280 --> 00:08:04.639
 And he hasn't been raised from the dead.

00:08:04.639 --> 00:08:09.040
 She has enough knowledge to know this is her king.

00:08:10.300 --> 00:08:12.780
 And so she's responding in kind.

00:08:12.779 --> 00:08:22.419
 What we see next is Judas in verses four through six.

00:08:23.639 --> 00:08:26.619
 Judas is like, hey, wait a second.

00:08:29.079 --> 00:08:33.939
 We're told here in verse four that he was the one who betrayed Jesus.

00:08:34.839 --> 00:08:36.259
 He's one of the disciples.

00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:42.600
 And in verse five, he says, why was this ointment not sold for 300 denarii and given to the poor?

00:08:43.740 --> 00:08:44.980
 Sounds godly.

00:08:45.059 --> 00:08:52.019
 It sounds merciful, but it's just full of pretense because he's really a thief.

00:08:53.139 --> 00:08:57.299
 If you see in verse six, he said this, not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief.

00:08:57.299 --> 00:09:01.319
 And having charge of the money bag, he used to help himself to what was put in it.

00:09:01.459 --> 00:09:02.299
 Here's the thinking.

00:09:03.019 --> 00:09:05.019
 You know, we should sell this to the poor.

00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:10.339
 Put that 45 grand into the money bag and I'll help the poor.

00:09:10.340 --> 00:09:12.560
 You see what's going on there?

00:09:13.180 --> 00:09:14.280
 You know what it's a picture of?

00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:17.040
 It's the opposite of Mary.

00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:20.980
 It's selfishness, self-serving.

00:09:21.620 --> 00:09:24.720
 And so here we have at the outset of chapter 12,

00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:30.060
 a contrast between Mary's selfless devotion, extravagant,

00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:34.820
 and we have Judas's self-delusion.

00:09:35.680 --> 00:09:36.940
 And he's a disciple.

00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:41.000
 This goes on.

00:09:42.060 --> 00:09:45.080
 Something else happens in Bethany in verses nine through 11.

00:09:45.580 --> 00:09:49.540
 A large crowd of Jews learned that Jesus was in Bethany.

00:09:49.539 --> 00:09:51.959
 They came because not only they want to see Jesus,

00:09:52.079 --> 00:09:54.579
 they want to see this guy who's been raised from the dead.

00:09:57.219 --> 00:09:59.219
 And then the Pharisees respond.

00:10:00.500 --> 00:10:01.899
 They're like, oh no.

00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:05.939
 People are going away and believing in Jesus.

00:10:07.579 --> 00:10:09.019
 And so you know what they do?

00:10:09.899 --> 00:10:10.879
 Look at verse 10.

00:10:10.879 --> 00:10:17.279
 They expand their murder plot to now include Lazarus.

00:10:19.679 --> 00:10:23.039
 So the evidence gets lost.

00:10:25.340 --> 00:10:28.279
 This is controversial.

00:10:29.820 --> 00:10:33.299
 People are willing to kill over this guy.

00:10:34.679 --> 00:10:38.279
 It's all revolving around Jesus.

00:10:38.980 --> 00:10:40.539
 We see extraordinary devotion.

00:10:40.539 --> 00:10:42.939
 We see this extraordinary delusion.

00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:47.099
 A disciple who's pilfering from the money bag.

00:10:47.719 --> 00:10:50.139
 And this extraordinary death making.

00:10:53.659 --> 00:10:59.379
 There's no question that the appropriate response being presented here is the Mary response.

00:11:00.699 --> 00:11:05.039
 And so maybe the question that you need to be asking yourself right now is,

00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:13.199
 what is keeping you from responding to King Jesus like Mary?

00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:17.639
 Full surrender.

00:11:18.339 --> 00:11:20.139
 All in for Jesus.

00:11:21.719 --> 00:11:22.379
 Posture.

00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:23.779
 Prize possessions.

00:11:24.459 --> 00:11:26.259
 The pride of your life.

00:11:26.599 --> 00:11:27.559
 All for him.

00:11:27.559 --> 00:11:32.639
 The second scene we come to is Jesus' arrival.

00:11:32.839 --> 00:11:35.719
 And that takes place in verses 12 through 19.

00:11:36.279 --> 00:11:38.899
 It's John's triumphal entry.

00:11:39.439 --> 00:11:42.199
 John's version of Palm Sunday.

00:11:42.200 --> 00:11:45.480
 And note, it's now the next day.

00:11:45.480 --> 00:11:52.140
 So five days closer to Passover when these lambs would be killed.

00:11:53.180 --> 00:11:55.420
 And now Jesus is entering Jerusalem.

00:11:55.520 --> 00:11:58.220
 Do you remember how John 11 ended?

00:11:58.220 --> 00:12:03.720
 There are these people from all over the countryside coming to Jerusalem.

00:12:04.060 --> 00:12:06.139
 And they were like, is Jesus going to show up?

00:12:06.740 --> 00:12:07.860
 Is he going to come?

00:12:08.060 --> 00:12:09.259
 And here he is.

00:12:10.200 --> 00:12:11.560
 Jesus is no coward.

00:12:12.620 --> 00:12:19.139
 He is on mission to bring glory to God his Father through his death and resurrection.

00:12:19.139 --> 00:12:23.059
 Well, he is met by a crowd.

00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:25.500
 And you can see that crowd.

00:12:25.960 --> 00:12:30.699
 12, the next day, the large crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem.

00:12:30.819 --> 00:12:39.799
 And if you look at 17 and 18, this large crowd had heard about Jesus from the people that actually saw Jesus raise Lazarus from the dead.

00:12:40.199 --> 00:12:40.919
 Word has spread.

00:12:40.919 --> 00:12:44.819
 The sign, verse 18, has gone out.

00:12:44.820 --> 00:12:50.300
 And now this huge crowd comes to welcome Jesus into Jerusalem.

00:12:50.620 --> 00:12:52.520
 And look what they're saying.

00:12:54.060 --> 00:12:54.700
 Hosanna!

00:12:55.700 --> 00:13:01.000
 Verse 13, blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel.

00:13:01.280 --> 00:13:02.840
 Our King has come.

00:13:04.800 --> 00:13:06.700
 Our King is here.

00:13:08.000 --> 00:13:09.540
 It's Psalm 118.25.

00:13:09.539 --> 00:13:19.699
 The thing is, they're missing why he has come.

00:13:21.159 --> 00:13:22.959
 There's a Hebrew word here.

00:13:24.019 --> 00:13:24.459
 Hosanna.

00:13:25.839 --> 00:13:28.699
 It means save us.

00:13:30.099 --> 00:13:31.779
 It means deliver us.

00:13:33.459 --> 00:13:34.699
 Save us.

00:13:35.339 --> 00:13:37.799
 Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.

00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:39.639
 Our Savior is here.

00:13:39.959 --> 00:13:41.639
 Even the King of Israel.

00:13:42.079 --> 00:13:44.319
 Our Deliverer has come.

00:13:44.379 --> 00:13:45.839
 The King has come.

00:13:45.939 --> 00:13:50.500
 What do you think they are planning this King to deliver them from?

00:13:52.579 --> 00:13:53.699
 Roman occupation.

00:13:56.079 --> 00:13:57.939
 To make Israel great again.

00:14:00.740 --> 00:14:03.859
 To cause Israel to stand on its own two feet.

00:14:03.860 --> 00:14:07.139
 To bring back glory to Israel.

00:14:10.279 --> 00:14:14.039
 But that's not why Jesus is riding into Jerusalem on a donkey.

00:14:14.740 --> 00:14:22.840
 Jesus isn't coming into Jerusalem to deliver this people militarily or politically.

00:14:23.100 --> 00:14:24.440
 He's not on a war horse.

00:14:24.740 --> 00:14:26.279
 He is on a donkey.

00:14:27.300 --> 00:14:28.960
 Look at verses 14 and 15.

00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:31.420
 And Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it.

00:14:31.480 --> 00:14:33.519
 Just that it is written, fear not, daughter of Zion.

00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:36.560
 Behold, your King is coming, sitting on a donkey's colt.

00:14:36.620 --> 00:14:37.759
 That's Zechariah 9.9.

00:14:40.680 --> 00:14:41.160
 Humble.

00:14:42.420 --> 00:14:43.660
 Seated on a donkey.

00:14:45.820 --> 00:14:47.379
 Coming into Jerusalem.

00:14:47.879 --> 00:14:49.740
 Bringing salvation with him.

00:14:49.940 --> 00:14:50.980
 Zechariah 9.9.

00:14:50.980 --> 00:14:55.139
 You see, Jesus is coming into Jerusalem.

00:14:55.940 --> 00:15:00.100
 Not to deliver people from the enemy of Rome.

00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:06.200
 He is coming into Jerusalem to deliver a new people from a greater enemy.

00:15:06.879 --> 00:15:08.659
 Sin and death and the devil.

00:15:10.440 --> 00:15:14.080
 That's why he's coming into Jerusalem.

00:15:14.300 --> 00:15:17.060
 He brings eternal life with him.

00:15:17.059 --> 00:15:21.979
 And so the misunderstanding is the crux of it is in the word Hosanna.

00:15:23.299 --> 00:15:24.659
 Save us.

00:15:25.559 --> 00:15:32.579
 They had made Jesus into a Savior King of their own making.

00:15:33.759 --> 00:15:36.039
 Make us great again.

00:15:36.159 --> 00:15:36.979
 You're the guy.

00:15:41.099 --> 00:15:44.279
 It's kind of like when someone claims to become a Christian

00:15:44.279 --> 00:15:47.019
 because they think that Jesus is going to, quote unquote,

00:15:47.199 --> 00:15:48.579
 make them the best version of themselves.

00:15:49.600 --> 00:15:53.339
 And what they have in mind in that is that Jesus is the means

00:15:53.339 --> 00:15:56.159
 to accomplish their appointed end.

00:15:56.799 --> 00:15:58.179
 This is what I want to do.

00:15:58.279 --> 00:15:59.620
 Jesus is going to get me there.

00:16:00.199 --> 00:16:01.199
 Jesus, you're great.

00:16:01.360 --> 00:16:02.059
 You're the King.

00:16:03.939 --> 00:16:06.379
 But the reality is when Jesus comes,

00:16:07.819 --> 00:16:08.659
 he takes over.

00:16:10.240 --> 00:16:11.799
 He doesn't exist for us.

00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:13.199
 We exist for him.

00:16:13.200 --> 00:16:14.640
 He's the King.

00:16:17.100 --> 00:16:19.920
 So in 14 and 15, Jesus finds the young donkey,

00:16:20.100 --> 00:16:20.840
 goes in,

00:16:21.800 --> 00:16:24.240
 and what we learn is that the disciples,

00:16:24.660 --> 00:16:25.540
 in verse 16,

00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:29.759
 they did not understand what was going on here at first.

00:16:30.100 --> 00:16:32.759
 But it wasn't until after Jesus was glorified,

00:16:33.040 --> 00:16:34.440
 after that he died,

00:16:34.840 --> 00:16:36.040
 that they remembered

00:16:36.040 --> 00:16:38.920
 and that these things had been written about him

00:16:38.920 --> 00:16:40.340
 and had been done to him.

00:16:40.340 --> 00:16:42.780
 It wasn't until after he was glorified

00:16:42.780 --> 00:16:44.220
 that they had the aha moment.

00:16:45.240 --> 00:16:46.940
 They were a little slow on the uptake.

00:16:48.360 --> 00:16:51.379
 We have a bunch of people who totally miss.

00:16:51.879 --> 00:16:55.980
 They want Jesus to be something that he wasn't.

00:16:56.399 --> 00:16:57.920
 And then we have these disciples

00:16:57.920 --> 00:17:00.820
 who are kind of slow on the uptick.

00:17:00.820 --> 00:17:04.559
 And the Pharisees again,

00:17:04.720 --> 00:17:05.559
 in verse 19,

00:17:05.740 --> 00:17:06.420
 said to one another,

00:17:06.940 --> 00:17:08.180
 you see that you are,

00:17:08.519 --> 00:17:09.600
 they're talking to one another,

00:17:09.759 --> 00:17:11.900
 you see that you are gaining nothing.

00:17:12.039 --> 00:17:13.660
 Look, the world has gone after him.

00:17:13.759 --> 00:17:16.680
 They're seeing Jesus entering into Jerusalem

00:17:16.680 --> 00:17:17.740
 to great fanfare.

00:17:17.940 --> 00:17:18.799
 And they're like,

00:17:18.980 --> 00:17:20.779
 we've lost the crowd.

00:17:21.779 --> 00:17:22.380
 Everybody,

00:17:23.019 --> 00:17:26.200
 the whole world is going after him.

00:17:26.200 --> 00:17:29.000
 It's like, oh no.

00:17:33.420 --> 00:17:35.000
 There's a variety of responses

00:17:35.000 --> 00:17:41.660
 to King Jesus coming into Jerusalem.

00:17:43.240 --> 00:17:46.059
 You have misunderstanding,

00:17:46.840 --> 00:17:51.480
 a distorted view of Jesus as King,

00:17:51.480 --> 00:17:56.299
 that he has come to make me what I want to be.

00:17:57.240 --> 00:17:59.980
 He's seen as a threat by the Pharisees.

00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:03.480
 There's confusion among the disciples

00:18:03.480 --> 00:18:06.400
 of what this really means.

00:18:08.039 --> 00:18:10.799
 And so, let's ask this question.

00:18:13.200 --> 00:18:16.000
 Like the misunderstanding crowd,

00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:21.559
 are you seeking to make Jesus

00:18:21.559 --> 00:18:26.119
 a King of your own making?

00:18:27.400 --> 00:18:31.099
 Are you wanting Jesus to make America great again?

00:18:32.099 --> 00:18:33.359
 Is that how you're seeing him?

00:18:34.259 --> 00:18:35.319
 To that end?

00:18:36.319 --> 00:18:38.420
 Or are you seeing Jesus

00:18:38.420 --> 00:18:41.640
 as a King of his own kingdom?

00:18:42.059 --> 00:18:44.559
 And when he calls people to himself

00:18:44.559 --> 00:18:46.940
 from every tribe, tongue, and nation in the world,

00:18:47.159 --> 00:18:49.079
 he doesn't call them to become Americans.

00:18:49.379 --> 00:18:51.700
 He calls them to become citizens of his kingdom.

00:18:52.440 --> 00:18:53.639
 That's what he died for.

00:18:56.399 --> 00:18:59.440
 I like to think of myself as a monarchist first

00:18:59.440 --> 00:19:02.679
 and as an American citizen second.

00:19:08.399 --> 00:19:09.539
 These disciples

00:19:09.539 --> 00:19:13.019
 who eventually realized

00:19:13.019 --> 00:19:15.799
 that Jesus is coming in humble

00:19:15.799 --> 00:19:17.960
 to establish a spiritual kingdom,

00:19:18.079 --> 00:19:20.379
 to bring spiritual salvation.

00:19:21.480 --> 00:19:24.299
 These men were eventually radically changed.

00:19:24.759 --> 00:19:25.740
 Radically changed.

00:19:26.980 --> 00:19:28.680
 They realized that Jesus came

00:19:28.680 --> 00:19:30.839
 to establish a kingdom

00:19:30.839 --> 00:19:32.160
 that will never end.

00:19:32.519 --> 00:19:33.519
 It's indestructible.

00:19:33.680 --> 00:19:35.759
 It's the Daniel 7 kingdom

00:19:35.759 --> 00:19:37.200
 given to the Son of Man.

00:19:37.200 --> 00:19:40.340
 Jesus' arrival.

00:19:42.259 --> 00:19:43.460
 It's controversial.

00:19:45.120 --> 00:19:46.860
 Who do you say he is?

00:19:48.140 --> 00:19:49.299
 Is he the King

00:19:49.299 --> 00:19:51.799
 who's come to take over?

00:19:52.880 --> 00:19:54.360
 To take everything over?

00:19:55.700 --> 00:19:56.620
 Scene 3.

00:19:57.279 --> 00:19:57.840
 Go time.

00:20:00.340 --> 00:20:01.299
 Go time.

00:20:01.299 --> 00:20:06.960
 This starts in verse 19.

00:20:07.960 --> 00:20:09.619
 So the Pharisees said to one another,

00:20:09.619 --> 00:20:11.519
 you see that you are gaining nothing.

00:20:11.639 --> 00:20:13.579
 Look, the world has gone after him.

00:20:13.940 --> 00:20:15.119
 And then look at verse 20.

00:20:16.759 --> 00:20:18.039
 Now among those who went up

00:20:18.039 --> 00:20:19.599
 to worship at the feast,

00:20:19.940 --> 00:20:20.440
 Passover,

00:20:20.919 --> 00:20:22.019
 were some Greeks,

00:20:22.700 --> 00:20:24.079
 some Gentiles,

00:20:24.859 --> 00:20:26.019
 some non-Jews,

00:20:26.019 --> 00:20:29.220
 people from very different nations

00:20:29.220 --> 00:20:29.980
 than Israel.

00:20:30.420 --> 00:20:32.660
 They are coming into Jerusalem

00:20:32.660 --> 00:20:33.859
 and look what they do.

00:20:34.319 --> 00:20:35.160
 They came to Philip

00:20:35.160 --> 00:20:37.259
 and then Philip went and told Andrew,

00:20:37.579 --> 00:20:38.079
 verse 22,

00:20:38.279 --> 00:20:39.779
 and Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus

00:20:39.779 --> 00:20:41.039
 and they told them

00:20:41.039 --> 00:20:43.099
 that these Gentiles are like,

00:20:43.720 --> 00:20:46.420
 sir, we wish to see Jesus.

00:20:46.940 --> 00:20:49.440
 The whole world is going after him.

00:20:51.119 --> 00:20:53.099
 Gentiles are now seeking out Jesus.

00:20:53.099 --> 00:20:57.199
 And what Jesus says next

00:20:57.199 --> 00:21:00.899
 is the king speaking.

00:21:03.480 --> 00:21:05.079
 And Jesus answered them,

00:21:06.079 --> 00:21:07.259
 the hour has come.

00:21:07.740 --> 00:21:08.519
 It's go time.

00:21:10.459 --> 00:21:12.919
 The hour has come for the son of man

00:21:12.919 --> 00:21:14.219
 to be glorified.

00:21:14.480 --> 00:21:15.799
 The son of man is that title

00:21:15.799 --> 00:21:17.279
 from Daniel 7

00:21:17.279 --> 00:21:19.740
 in which God the father,

00:21:19.879 --> 00:21:20.899
 the ancient of days,

00:21:20.900 --> 00:21:22.300
 gives a kingdom

00:21:22.300 --> 00:21:23.519
 from every,

00:21:23.780 --> 00:21:25.140
 of people from every tribe,

00:21:25.240 --> 00:21:25.880
 tongue, and nation.

00:21:26.340 --> 00:21:27.560
 He gives them

00:21:27.560 --> 00:21:29.759
 to this son of man

00:21:29.759 --> 00:21:30.980
 who will establish a kingdom

00:21:30.980 --> 00:21:32.360
 that will last forever.

00:21:34.080 --> 00:21:35.580
 And he's saying here,

00:21:36.780 --> 00:21:38.460
 the hour has come

00:21:38.460 --> 00:21:39.320
 for the son of man

00:21:39.320 --> 00:21:40.480
 to be glorified,

00:21:40.800 --> 00:21:42.220
 to be exalted,

00:21:42.320 --> 00:21:43.080
 to be revealed.

00:21:44.140 --> 00:21:45.220
 And now the question is,

00:21:45.420 --> 00:21:47.920
 how will he be glorified?

00:21:47.920 --> 00:21:47.960
 God,

00:21:48.519 --> 00:21:50.320
 which makes verse 24

00:21:50.320 --> 00:21:51.380
 very interesting.

00:21:52.519 --> 00:21:53.420
 Here comes another

00:21:53.420 --> 00:21:54.060
 truly, truly.

00:21:54.800 --> 00:21:55.840
 We've seen this before.

00:21:56.200 --> 00:21:57.100
 It's Jesus saying,

00:21:57.340 --> 00:21:58.360
 hey, let me set the record straight.

00:21:58.759 --> 00:22:00.120
 Let me set the record straight

00:22:00.120 --> 00:22:00.840
 in what it means

00:22:00.840 --> 00:22:01.640
 for the son of man

00:22:01.640 --> 00:22:02.500
 to be glorified.

00:22:03.539 --> 00:22:04.779
 And he says,

00:22:05.800 --> 00:22:06.740
 unless a grain of wheat

00:22:06.740 --> 00:22:07.720
 falls into the earth

00:22:07.720 --> 00:22:08.360
 and dies,

00:22:08.620 --> 00:22:09.840
 it remains alone.

00:22:09.880 --> 00:22:10.740
 But if it dies,

00:22:10.840 --> 00:22:11.960
 it bears much fruit.

00:22:12.259 --> 00:22:13.480
 Well, that's really interesting.

00:22:13.779 --> 00:22:15.019
 When I think of

00:22:15.019 --> 00:22:16.779
 someone being glorified,

00:22:16.779 --> 00:22:17.960
 I don't think of death.

00:22:19.480 --> 00:22:20.720
 And what Jesus is saying,

00:22:21.139 --> 00:22:22.379
 I am going to be glorified

00:22:22.379 --> 00:22:23.099
 in my death.

00:22:23.940 --> 00:22:24.879
 I am going to be

00:22:24.879 --> 00:22:26.180
 like a grain of wheat

00:22:26.180 --> 00:22:27.559
 that falls into the ground,

00:22:28.039 --> 00:22:28.559
 dies,

00:22:28.700 --> 00:22:30.480
 and then brings life,

00:22:30.940 --> 00:22:31.519
 fruitfulness.

00:22:33.399 --> 00:22:34.279
 See what he's doing here?

00:22:36.579 --> 00:22:37.539
 The son of man

00:22:37.539 --> 00:22:38.859
 is going to be glorified

00:22:38.859 --> 00:22:40.420
 in a surprising manner.

00:22:40.899 --> 00:22:42.139
 This king,

00:22:42.279 --> 00:22:43.160
 who's coming in

00:22:43.160 --> 00:22:43.960
 on a donkey,

00:22:44.319 --> 00:22:45.460
 is saying that

00:22:45.460 --> 00:22:46.799
 he's going to be glorified

00:22:46.799 --> 00:22:48.420
 through his death.

00:22:49.920 --> 00:22:51.180
 And then he says,

00:22:52.059 --> 00:22:52.920
 verse 25,

00:22:53.480 --> 00:22:55.059
 whoever loves his life

00:22:55.059 --> 00:22:56.019
 loses it.

00:22:56.079 --> 00:22:56.460
 Now remember,

00:22:56.740 --> 00:22:57.940
 he's speaking to both

00:22:57.940 --> 00:22:59.680
 Jews and Gentiles here.

00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:00.819
 It is a crowd,

00:23:00.960 --> 00:23:01.579
 verse 34,

00:23:01.579 --> 00:23:02.700
 who's listening to him.

00:23:03.079 --> 00:23:04.440
 It's a mixed crowd.

00:23:04.880 --> 00:23:05.340
 He's like,

00:23:05.680 --> 00:23:07.460
 anyone who would come after me,

00:23:07.559 --> 00:23:08.420
 whether you're Jew

00:23:08.420 --> 00:23:09.380
 or Gentile,

00:23:09.740 --> 00:23:10.420
 whether you are

00:23:10.420 --> 00:23:11.500
 red, yellow,

00:23:11.660 --> 00:23:12.500
 black, or white,

00:23:12.500 --> 00:23:13.420
 you are precious

00:23:13.420 --> 00:23:14.240
 in his sight.

00:23:14.819 --> 00:23:15.299
 Anyone.

00:23:16.220 --> 00:23:17.000
 He says this,

00:23:18.640 --> 00:23:19.759
 whoever loves his life

00:23:19.759 --> 00:23:20.359
 loses it.

00:23:20.480 --> 00:23:20.799
 Wouldn't he?

00:23:22.200 --> 00:23:24.200
 I tend to think

00:23:24.200 --> 00:23:25.519
 if you love your life,

00:23:25.559 --> 00:23:26.140
 you're going to preserve

00:23:26.140 --> 00:23:26.660
 your life.

00:23:27.500 --> 00:23:28.119
 But that's not what

00:23:28.119 --> 00:23:28.759
 Jesus is saying.

00:23:28.940 --> 00:23:30.720
 Let's go on.

00:23:30.740 --> 00:23:31.559
 What else does he say?

00:23:34.079 --> 00:23:35.200
 Whoever loves his life

00:23:35.200 --> 00:23:36.500
 will lose it,

00:23:36.960 --> 00:23:38.420
 and whoever hates his life

00:23:38.420 --> 00:23:39.099
 in this world

00:23:39.099 --> 00:23:39.619
 will keep it

00:23:39.619 --> 00:23:40.400
 for eternal life.

00:23:40.400 --> 00:23:42.100
 What is going on?

00:23:44.120 --> 00:23:45.680
 Whoever hates his life

00:23:45.680 --> 00:23:46.420
 in this world,

00:23:47.600 --> 00:23:48.600
 he's the one,

00:23:48.800 --> 00:23:49.680
 she's the one

00:23:49.680 --> 00:23:51.060
 who has eternal life.

00:23:51.140 --> 00:23:51.440
 What?

00:23:52.640 --> 00:23:55.500
 This is how the kingdom works.

00:23:56.000 --> 00:23:56.380
 You see,

00:23:56.700 --> 00:23:57.700
 the way you enter

00:23:57.700 --> 00:23:58.600
 the kingdom of God,

00:23:58.720 --> 00:24:00.320
 how you're saved,

00:24:00.660 --> 00:24:01.740
 is informed

00:24:01.740 --> 00:24:03.860
 by how the king

00:24:03.860 --> 00:24:05.240
 established his kingdom.

00:24:06.360 --> 00:24:08.360
 Jesus died

00:24:08.359 --> 00:24:10.179
 in order

00:24:10.179 --> 00:24:11.659
 to gather

00:24:11.659 --> 00:24:12.179
 a people

00:24:12.179 --> 00:24:12.959
 for himself,

00:24:13.179 --> 00:24:13.979
 and now we,

00:24:14.139 --> 00:24:14.659
 his people,

00:24:14.819 --> 00:24:15.500
 come to him

00:24:15.500 --> 00:24:16.599
 not saying,

00:24:16.799 --> 00:24:17.740
 I'm going to live

00:24:17.740 --> 00:24:18.859
 my life my way.

00:24:19.259 --> 00:24:20.719
 We come to him saying,

00:24:20.919 --> 00:24:21.959
 I am all yours.

00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:22.740
 This is,

00:24:22.879 --> 00:24:23.959
 this is a revisit

00:24:23.959 --> 00:24:24.479
 to Mary.

00:24:25.439 --> 00:24:26.059
 This is,

00:24:26.139 --> 00:24:26.419
 this is,

00:24:26.500 --> 00:24:27.599
 I'm laying my life down,

00:24:28.599 --> 00:24:29.159
 posture,

00:24:30.299 --> 00:24:30.619
 price,

00:24:30.719 --> 00:24:31.219
 possessions,

00:24:31.679 --> 00:24:32.839
 the pride of my being.

00:24:32.979 --> 00:24:34.500
 It's all yours.

00:24:34.639 --> 00:24:36.099
 I am coming to you.

00:24:36.099 --> 00:24:36.539
 You,

00:24:36.539 --> 00:24:38.299
 you're the controlling center

00:24:38.299 --> 00:24:38.919
 of my life.

00:24:38.980 --> 00:24:39.759
 You've always been

00:24:39.759 --> 00:24:40.639
 the controlling center.

00:24:41.000 --> 00:24:41.679
 Now I,

00:24:41.719 --> 00:24:43.699
 I gladly come under you.

00:24:44.559 --> 00:24:46.319
 I gladly lay my life

00:24:46.319 --> 00:24:47.019
 in full surrender

00:24:47.019 --> 00:24:47.679
 to you.

00:24:49.779 --> 00:24:51.159
 That's what he's talking about.

00:24:51.299 --> 00:24:51.379
 Here,

00:24:51.419 --> 00:24:51.779
 here's,

00:24:52.039 --> 00:24:53.139
 here's another way

00:24:53.139 --> 00:24:53.679
 to say it.

00:24:56.279 --> 00:24:57.679
 You cannot

00:24:57.679 --> 00:25:00.819
 be fully devoted

00:25:00.819 --> 00:25:01.779
 to yourself

00:25:01.779 --> 00:25:04.319
 and fully devoted

00:25:04.319 --> 00:25:05.160
 to Jesus

00:25:05.160 --> 00:25:06.500
 simultaneously.

00:25:07.819 --> 00:25:08.559
 You got to choose

00:25:08.559 --> 00:25:09.139
 one or the other.

00:25:10.980 --> 00:25:11.180
 And the,

00:25:11.639 --> 00:25:12.259
 and in order to become

00:25:12.259 --> 00:25:13.399
 fully devoted to Jesus,

00:25:13.660 --> 00:25:15.339
 you need to hate yourself,

00:25:15.399 --> 00:25:16.079
 which is another way

00:25:16.079 --> 00:25:16.759
 you need to die

00:25:16.759 --> 00:25:17.359
 to yourself.

00:25:17.539 --> 00:25:18.519
 You need to die

00:25:18.519 --> 00:25:19.119
 to saying,

00:25:19.259 --> 00:25:20.000
 I'm in charge.

00:25:20.180 --> 00:25:21.019
 You need to die

00:25:21.019 --> 00:25:21.619
 to saying,

00:25:21.799 --> 00:25:23.160
 I'm living for my own glory.

00:25:23.339 --> 00:25:24.579
 You need to die

00:25:24.579 --> 00:25:25.619
 to saying things like,

00:25:25.740 --> 00:25:26.619
 I'm going to control

00:25:26.619 --> 00:25:27.160
 everything.

00:25:27.899 --> 00:25:28.740
 You got to die

00:25:28.740 --> 00:25:29.539
 to these things

00:25:29.539 --> 00:25:31.059
 and release them

00:25:31.059 --> 00:25:32.279
 to Jesus.

00:25:34.819 --> 00:25:35.960
 This is quite,

00:25:36.220 --> 00:25:38.000
 quite a way to say

00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:39.119
 it's go time.

00:25:41.220 --> 00:25:43.039
 Jesus is just days away

00:25:43.039 --> 00:25:44.299
 from dying on the cross.

00:25:44.619 --> 00:25:45.420
 And he says,

00:25:45.519 --> 00:25:46.159
 the hour

00:25:46.159 --> 00:25:47.240
 has

00:25:47.240 --> 00:25:48.059
 come.

00:25:48.720 --> 00:25:49.440
 And then,

00:25:49.599 --> 00:25:49.940
 he says,

00:25:50.000 --> 00:25:50.920
 if anyone serves me,

00:25:51.000 --> 00:25:52.019
 the father will not honor,

00:25:52.200 --> 00:25:53.139
 will honor him.

00:25:53.359 --> 00:25:53.799
 That's,

00:25:54.139 --> 00:25:55.240
 do you want to honor God,

00:25:55.720 --> 00:25:56.200
 the father?

00:25:59.539 --> 00:26:00.500
 Devote yourself

00:26:00.500 --> 00:26:01.339
 to Jesus Christ

00:26:01.339 --> 00:26:02.139
 and all that you are.

00:26:03.039 --> 00:26:04.440
 He delights in it.

00:26:05.559 --> 00:26:07.019
 Jesus is glorified.

00:26:07.779 --> 00:26:09.119
 God is glorified.

00:26:16.779 --> 00:26:18.339
 There's a couple other words

00:26:18.339 --> 00:26:19.220
 I want you to notice.

00:26:22.519 --> 00:26:24.680
 In verse 24,

00:26:25.559 --> 00:26:26.000
 excuse me,

00:26:26.039 --> 00:26:26.960
 in verse 23,

00:26:26.960 --> 00:26:28.779
 the hour has come

00:26:28.779 --> 00:26:29.579
 for the son of man

00:26:29.579 --> 00:26:30.340
 to be glorified.

00:26:31.539 --> 00:26:32.700
 Verse 27,

00:26:33.299 --> 00:26:33.860
 now

00:26:33.860 --> 00:26:35.900
 is my soul troubled

00:26:35.900 --> 00:26:36.860
 and what shall I say?

00:26:36.960 --> 00:26:37.059
 For,

00:26:37.620 --> 00:26:37.840
 father,

00:26:37.980 --> 00:26:39.400
 save me from this hour,

00:26:39.819 --> 00:26:41.319
 but for this purpose,

00:26:41.319 --> 00:26:42.500
 I have come

00:26:42.500 --> 00:26:43.559
 to this hour.

00:26:43.759 --> 00:26:44.420
 This hour,

00:26:44.559 --> 00:26:45.180
 this hour,

00:26:45.360 --> 00:26:45.840
 now.

00:26:46.960 --> 00:26:47.299
 It's,

00:26:47.299 --> 00:26:48.059
 it's go time.

00:26:48.700 --> 00:26:50.019
 And what Jesus is saying

00:26:50.019 --> 00:26:50.180
 is,

00:26:50.480 --> 00:26:51.620
 I am feeling

00:26:51.620 --> 00:26:52.500
 the weight

00:26:52.500 --> 00:26:54.180
 of what is about

00:26:54.180 --> 00:26:54.779
 to happen.

00:26:56.059 --> 00:26:56.579
 He's like,

00:26:56.579 --> 00:26:57.159
 what am I going to do?

00:26:57.220 --> 00:26:58.220
 Ask my father

00:26:58.220 --> 00:26:59.159
 to deliver me from that?

00:26:59.220 --> 00:26:59.480
 He's like,

00:26:59.559 --> 00:26:59.859
 no.

00:27:00.399 --> 00:27:01.819
 It's for this very purpose

00:27:01.819 --> 00:27:02.939
 that I have come

00:27:02.939 --> 00:27:03.879
 to this hour.

00:27:04.720 --> 00:27:05.539
 And the purpose

00:27:05.539 --> 00:27:07.399
 is to lay his life down.

00:27:08.639 --> 00:27:10.379
 To give his life for us.

00:27:10.399 --> 00:27:11.240
 That's why the king

00:27:11.240 --> 00:27:11.799
 has come.

00:27:14.099 --> 00:27:15.079
 It's go time.

00:27:15.079 --> 00:27:18.139
 And then we read

00:27:18.139 --> 00:27:22.079
 in verse 28,

00:27:22.220 --> 00:27:22.460
 Father,

00:27:22.559 --> 00:27:23.619
 glorify your name.

00:27:23.740 --> 00:27:24.699
 Then a voice

00:27:24.699 --> 00:27:25.539
 came from heaven.

00:27:25.779 --> 00:27:27.059
 I have glorified it

00:27:27.059 --> 00:27:28.579
 and I will glorify it again.

00:27:28.939 --> 00:27:30.899
 This is one of three spots

00:27:30.899 --> 00:27:31.720
 in the Gospels

00:27:31.720 --> 00:27:33.519
 in which God the Father

00:27:33.519 --> 00:27:35.159
 audibly speaks

00:27:35.159 --> 00:27:36.720
 with Jesus the Son

00:27:36.720 --> 00:27:37.539
 and present.

00:27:37.819 --> 00:27:38.539
 His baptism,

00:27:38.919 --> 00:27:39.899
 his transfiguration,

00:27:40.299 --> 00:27:41.119
 and hear.

00:27:41.919 --> 00:27:43.159
 And what do the crowds hear?

00:27:43.160 --> 00:27:45.100
 Did you hear that thunder?

00:27:47.080 --> 00:27:48.060
 Or other like,

00:27:48.180 --> 00:27:48.900
 there's an angel

00:27:48.900 --> 00:27:49.440
 speaking to him.

00:27:50.380 --> 00:27:51.480
 And what Jesus says

00:27:51.480 --> 00:27:52.480
 is extraordinary.

00:27:53.680 --> 00:27:54.380
 He's saying,

00:27:54.580 --> 00:27:55.259
 this voice has come.

00:27:55.320 --> 00:27:56.480
 This is verse 30.

00:27:56.580 --> 00:27:57.500
 This voice has come

00:27:57.500 --> 00:27:58.860
 for your sake,

00:27:58.980 --> 00:27:59.880
 not mine.

00:28:01.019 --> 00:28:02.880
 It's for our sake

00:28:02.880 --> 00:28:04.900
 that this voice

00:28:04.900 --> 00:28:06.080
 of God the Father

00:28:06.080 --> 00:28:06.160
 spoke.

00:28:06.160 --> 00:28:06.820
 spoke.

00:28:07.120 --> 00:28:08.320
 And here's why that is.

00:28:09.019 --> 00:28:11.279
 It assures us

00:28:11.279 --> 00:28:12.779
 that what is unfolding

00:28:12.779 --> 00:28:14.279
 before our eyes

00:28:14.279 --> 00:28:16.320
 is the plan

00:28:16.320 --> 00:28:17.960
 of God Almighty.

00:28:18.240 --> 00:28:19.759
 This is no accident.

00:28:20.240 --> 00:28:21.120
 This is right

00:28:21.120 --> 00:28:22.060
 according to plan.

00:28:22.480 --> 00:28:23.900
 God is sovereignly

00:28:23.900 --> 00:28:25.080
 carrying out

00:28:25.080 --> 00:28:25.660
 his plan

00:28:25.660 --> 00:28:26.240
 for the fullness

00:28:26.240 --> 00:28:26.880
 of time

00:28:26.880 --> 00:28:27.860
 in which he will

00:28:27.860 --> 00:28:28.940
 be glorified

00:28:28.940 --> 00:28:30.040
 with Jesus

00:28:30.040 --> 00:28:30.900
 at the center

00:28:30.900 --> 00:28:31.880
 of it all.

00:28:31.880 --> 00:28:34.840
 It's for us.

00:28:36.260 --> 00:28:37.620
 We hear this voice.

00:28:40.140 --> 00:28:41.020
 And then comes

00:28:41.020 --> 00:28:41.620
 another now.

00:28:43.240 --> 00:28:44.320
 Jesus is going to die.

00:28:45.820 --> 00:28:46.820
 The time has come.

00:28:46.900 --> 00:28:47.660
 The hour is here.

00:28:47.740 --> 00:28:48.460
 It's go time.

00:28:49.820 --> 00:28:51.160
 Now is the judgment

00:28:51.160 --> 00:28:52.120
 of this world.

00:28:53.120 --> 00:28:53.960
 The death of Jesus

00:28:53.960 --> 00:28:54.700
 is a judgment.

00:28:55.440 --> 00:28:56.380
 God pours out

00:28:56.380 --> 00:28:57.180
 his wrath

00:28:57.180 --> 00:28:58.340
 in judgment

00:28:58.340 --> 00:28:59.820
 upon all

00:28:59.819 --> 00:29:00.480
 of the sin.

00:29:00.559 --> 00:29:01.539
 The penalty for sin

00:29:01.539 --> 00:29:03.119
 on all who would believe.

00:29:03.319 --> 00:29:04.720
 It is judgment

00:29:04.720 --> 00:29:06.039
 at that moment.

00:29:06.720 --> 00:29:07.399
 Good Friday

00:29:07.399 --> 00:29:09.000
 which is just days away

00:29:09.000 --> 00:29:10.299
 from Jesus speaking this.

00:29:10.839 --> 00:29:11.939
 God would pour out

00:29:11.939 --> 00:29:12.859
 all of his wrath

00:29:12.859 --> 00:29:14.299
 for all of our sin

00:29:14.299 --> 00:29:15.399
 for one time

00:29:15.399 --> 00:29:16.019
 done.

00:29:17.019 --> 00:29:17.480
 Judgment.

00:29:22.339 --> 00:29:23.500
 Now will the ruler

00:29:23.500 --> 00:29:24.119
 of this world

00:29:24.119 --> 00:29:24.899
 be cast out.

00:29:27.379 --> 00:29:28.619
 When Jesus dies

00:29:28.619 --> 00:29:29.339
 on the cross

00:29:29.339 --> 00:29:31.079
 you can read this

00:29:31.079 --> 00:29:31.699
 if you want

00:29:31.699 --> 00:29:32.720
 in Revelation

00:29:32.720 --> 00:29:33.899
 chapter 12

00:29:33.899 --> 00:29:36.759
 the devil gets

00:29:36.759 --> 00:29:37.720
 cast out of heaven

00:29:37.720 --> 00:29:39.419
 thrown down.

00:29:40.639 --> 00:29:41.019
 Victory.

00:29:41.699 --> 00:29:43.240
 Victory over the devil.

00:29:44.459 --> 00:29:45.559
 He no longer

00:29:45.559 --> 00:29:46.619
 is able to

00:29:46.619 --> 00:29:47.579
 make any kind

00:29:47.579 --> 00:29:48.679
 of accusation

00:29:48.679 --> 00:29:49.740
 against the brethren.

00:29:51.779 --> 00:29:53.099
 It's victory.

00:29:54.339 --> 00:29:55.059
 This king

00:29:55.059 --> 00:29:55.500
 on a donkey

00:29:55.500 --> 00:29:56.699
 coming into Jerusalem

00:29:56.699 --> 00:29:59.019
 it's go time.

00:29:59.019 --> 00:30:00.079
 he's going to die

00:30:00.079 --> 00:30:02.019
 and his death

00:30:02.019 --> 00:30:03.079
 is going to

00:30:03.079 --> 00:30:04.519
 bear God's judgment

00:30:04.519 --> 00:30:05.779
 for all who would believe

00:30:05.779 --> 00:30:07.000
 and it casts

00:30:07.000 --> 00:30:07.980
 down

00:30:07.980 --> 00:30:09.319
 casts out

00:30:09.319 --> 00:30:10.240
 the devil.

00:30:11.839 --> 00:30:12.819
 And then he says

00:30:12.819 --> 00:30:13.680
 in verse 32

00:30:13.680 --> 00:30:16.180
 and when I'm lifted up

00:30:16.180 --> 00:30:16.859
 from the earth

00:30:16.859 --> 00:30:18.879
 I will draw

00:30:18.879 --> 00:30:19.440
 all people

00:30:19.440 --> 00:30:20.139
 to myself.

00:30:22.460 --> 00:30:23.680
 That lifting up

00:30:23.680 --> 00:30:25.079
 is him referring

00:30:25.079 --> 00:30:26.200
 to his being

00:30:26.200 --> 00:30:27.160
 lifted up on the cross.

00:30:27.160 --> 00:30:29.900
 and that

00:30:29.900 --> 00:30:31.400
 is the thing.

00:30:32.120 --> 00:30:33.220
 His death

00:30:33.220 --> 00:30:34.800
 is the thing

00:30:34.800 --> 00:30:36.300
 when those

00:30:36.300 --> 00:30:37.840
 who hear

00:30:37.840 --> 00:30:38.660
 and understand

00:30:38.660 --> 00:30:40.600
 is what draws

00:30:40.600 --> 00:30:41.720
 us to Christ

00:30:41.720 --> 00:30:42.220
 because

00:30:42.220 --> 00:30:43.660
 his death

00:30:43.660 --> 00:30:45.700
 for our sin

00:30:45.700 --> 00:30:46.660
 is the greatest

00:30:46.660 --> 00:30:47.820
 news you can ever hear.

00:30:47.819 --> 00:30:51.619
 John said

00:30:51.619 --> 00:30:52.139
 he said this

00:30:52.139 --> 00:30:52.460
 to show

00:30:52.460 --> 00:30:53.000
 by what kind

00:30:53.000 --> 00:30:53.399
 of death

00:30:53.399 --> 00:30:53.980
 he was going

00:30:53.980 --> 00:30:54.379
 to die

00:30:54.379 --> 00:30:56.319
 but

00:30:56.319 --> 00:30:57.460
 it's met

00:30:57.460 --> 00:30:58.220
 with confusion

00:30:58.220 --> 00:30:59.899
 in the crowd.

00:31:00.960 --> 00:31:01.579
 The crowd

00:31:01.579 --> 00:31:02.000
 is like

00:31:02.000 --> 00:31:03.000
 we've heard

00:31:03.000 --> 00:31:03.480
 from the law

00:31:03.480 --> 00:31:04.000
 that the Christ

00:31:04.000 --> 00:31:04.839
 remains forever.

00:31:05.500 --> 00:31:05.839
 What do you mean

00:31:05.839 --> 00:31:06.139
 you're going to get

00:31:06.139 --> 00:31:06.639
 lifted up?

00:31:07.399 --> 00:31:08.460
 How can you say

00:31:08.460 --> 00:31:09.240
 that the Son of Man

00:31:09.240 --> 00:31:10.119
 look at what they're doing

00:31:10.119 --> 00:31:11.099
 they're saying

00:31:11.099 --> 00:31:11.879
 the Son of Man

00:31:11.879 --> 00:31:12.519
 and the Christ

00:31:12.519 --> 00:31:13.599
 are the same person.

00:31:14.359 --> 00:31:16.019
 How can you say

00:31:16.019 --> 00:31:16.720
 that the Son of Man

00:31:16.720 --> 00:31:17.539
 must be lifted up?

00:31:17.600 --> 00:31:18.059
 What do you mean

00:31:18.059 --> 00:31:18.700
 lifted up?

00:31:19.220 --> 00:31:19.860
 When the Christ

00:31:19.860 --> 00:31:20.180
 comes

00:31:20.180 --> 00:31:20.519
 he's going to

00:31:20.519 --> 00:31:21.240
 stay forever

00:31:21.240 --> 00:31:21.660
 he's going to

00:31:21.660 --> 00:31:22.200
 establish

00:31:22.200 --> 00:31:23.019
 a kingdom

00:31:23.019 --> 00:31:23.799
 that will never

00:31:23.799 --> 00:31:24.259
 end.

00:31:25.640 --> 00:31:26.740
 Who is the Son

00:31:26.740 --> 00:31:27.200
 of Man?

00:31:27.339 --> 00:31:27.720
 They're asking

00:31:27.720 --> 00:31:28.140
 Jesus.

00:31:30.559 --> 00:31:31.460
 And what Jesus

00:31:31.460 --> 00:31:32.360
 says is

00:31:32.360 --> 00:31:33.779
 I'll condense

00:31:33.779 --> 00:31:34.299
 it for you

00:31:34.299 --> 00:31:35.740
 I'm the light

00:31:35.740 --> 00:31:36.240
 of the world.

00:31:38.579 --> 00:31:39.940
 If you believe

00:31:39.940 --> 00:31:40.460
 in me

00:31:40.460 --> 00:31:41.400
 if you walk

00:31:41.400 --> 00:31:42.180
 in the light

00:31:42.180 --> 00:31:43.420
 you will not

00:31:43.420 --> 00:31:44.539
 you will no longer

00:31:44.539 --> 00:31:45.039
 be in darkness

00:31:45.039 --> 00:31:45.980
 but if you do not

00:31:45.980 --> 00:31:46.900
 walk in the light

00:31:46.900 --> 00:31:48.500
 you're going to

00:31:48.500 --> 00:31:49.339
 walk like one

00:31:49.339 --> 00:31:50.319
 walks in the dark

00:31:50.319 --> 00:31:50.740
 you're not going to

00:31:50.740 --> 00:31:51.299
 know where you're

00:31:51.299 --> 00:31:51.680
 going.

00:31:52.680 --> 00:31:53.279
 And so he says

00:31:53.279 --> 00:31:53.940
 while you have

00:31:53.940 --> 00:31:54.240
 the light

00:31:54.240 --> 00:31:54.779
 while you have

00:31:54.779 --> 00:31:55.460
 me here

00:31:55.460 --> 00:31:56.360
 because I'm just

00:31:56.360 --> 00:31:56.880
 days away

00:31:56.880 --> 00:31:57.559
 from my death

00:31:57.559 --> 00:32:00.480
 believe in the light

00:32:00.480 --> 00:32:01.960
 that you may

00:32:01.960 --> 00:32:03.640
 become sons

00:32:03.640 --> 00:32:04.299
 daughters

00:32:04.299 --> 00:32:05.079
 of light

00:32:05.079 --> 00:32:05.920
 to those who

00:32:05.920 --> 00:32:06.759
 received him

00:32:06.759 --> 00:32:07.559
 to them he gave

00:32:07.559 --> 00:32:08.039
 the right to

00:32:08.039 --> 00:32:08.620
 become children

00:32:08.620 --> 00:32:09.140
 of God

00:32:09.140 --> 00:32:10.500
 children of light

00:32:10.500 --> 00:32:11.779
 pulled out of

00:32:11.779 --> 00:32:12.140
 darkness

00:32:12.140 --> 00:32:13.120
 brought into

00:32:13.120 --> 00:32:13.620
 the light

00:32:13.619 --> 00:32:16.000
 delivered

00:32:16.000 --> 00:32:18.359
 from the domain

00:32:18.359 --> 00:32:18.979
 of darkness

00:32:18.979 --> 00:32:20.319
 transferred into

00:32:20.319 --> 00:32:20.899
 the kingdom

00:32:20.899 --> 00:32:22.699
 of his beloved

00:32:22.699 --> 00:32:23.559
 son.

00:32:25.639 --> 00:32:26.519
 What we have

00:32:26.519 --> 00:32:27.319
 going on here

00:32:27.319 --> 00:32:27.659
 is

00:32:27.659 --> 00:32:28.519
 is

00:32:28.519 --> 00:32:29.319
 is Jesus

00:32:29.319 --> 00:32:31.219
 just

00:32:31.219 --> 00:32:32.879
 saying

00:32:32.879 --> 00:32:33.659
 I'm here

00:32:33.659 --> 00:32:36.979
 I'm here

00:32:36.979 --> 00:32:38.000
 for all people

00:32:38.000 --> 00:32:40.399
 I am the king

00:32:40.399 --> 00:32:40.939
 who's come

00:32:40.939 --> 00:32:41.739
 into Jerusalem

00:32:41.740 --> 00:32:43.200
 and if you

00:32:43.200 --> 00:32:44.339
 believe in me

00:32:44.339 --> 00:32:46.380
 regardless of

00:32:46.380 --> 00:32:47.120
 your background

00:32:47.120 --> 00:32:49.079
 I am happy

00:32:49.079 --> 00:32:49.839
 to be your king

00:32:49.839 --> 00:32:51.539
 I will pay

00:32:51.539 --> 00:32:52.539
 for your sins

00:32:52.539 --> 00:32:53.839
 I will give you

00:32:53.839 --> 00:32:54.839
 eternal life

00:32:54.839 --> 00:32:57.400
 it's go time

00:32:57.400 --> 00:32:59.519
 Jesus has come

00:32:59.519 --> 00:33:00.059
 into the

00:33:00.059 --> 00:33:00.900
 to Jerusalem

00:33:00.900 --> 00:33:01.519
 it's go time

00:33:01.519 --> 00:33:02.019
 to die

00:33:02.019 --> 00:33:02.740
 it's go time

00:33:02.740 --> 00:33:03.359
 to glorify

00:33:03.359 --> 00:33:03.980
 his father

00:33:03.980 --> 00:33:04.799
 it's go time

00:33:04.799 --> 00:33:05.480
 to judge

00:33:05.480 --> 00:33:06.200
 it's go time

00:33:06.200 --> 00:33:07.339
 to cast out

00:33:07.339 --> 00:33:07.799
 the devil

00:33:07.799 --> 00:33:08.920
 it's go time

00:33:08.920 --> 00:33:09.859
 for those who

00:33:09.859 --> 00:33:10.579
 would believe

00:33:10.579 --> 00:33:11.819
 to become

00:33:11.819 --> 00:33:12.960
 children

00:33:12.960 --> 00:33:13.980
 of the light

00:33:13.980 --> 00:33:16.299
 are you a child

00:33:16.299 --> 00:33:16.639
 of light

00:33:16.639 --> 00:33:19.359
 do you know

00:33:19.359 --> 00:33:19.799
 that Jesus

00:33:19.799 --> 00:33:20.299
 went into

00:33:20.299 --> 00:33:20.699
 Jerusalem

00:33:20.699 --> 00:33:21.099
 to die

00:33:21.099 --> 00:33:21.579
 for you

00:33:21.579 --> 00:33:26.220
 the son

00:33:26.220 --> 00:33:26.699
 of man

00:33:26.699 --> 00:33:28.399
 the king

00:33:28.399 --> 00:33:29.879
 had to be

00:33:29.879 --> 00:33:30.460
 lifted up

00:33:30.460 --> 00:33:33.000
 that's scene

00:33:33.000 --> 00:33:33.259
 three

00:33:33.259 --> 00:33:33.980
 scene four

00:33:33.980 --> 00:33:35.960
 is a surprising

00:33:35.960 --> 00:33:36.799
 explanation

00:33:36.799 --> 00:33:37.720
 for unbelief

00:33:37.720 --> 00:33:41.079
 in verse 36

00:33:41.079 --> 00:33:41.559
 we read

00:33:41.559 --> 00:33:41.900
 while you

00:33:41.900 --> 00:33:42.180
 have the

00:33:42.180 --> 00:33:42.440
 light

00:33:42.440 --> 00:33:42.960
 believe in

00:33:42.960 --> 00:33:43.339
 the light

00:33:43.339 --> 00:33:43.960
 that you

00:33:43.960 --> 00:33:44.360
 may become

00:33:44.360 --> 00:33:44.900
 sons of

00:33:44.900 --> 00:33:45.160
 light

00:33:45.160 --> 00:33:45.759
 and then it

00:33:45.759 --> 00:33:46.420
 goes on

00:33:46.420 --> 00:33:47.259
 when Jesus

00:33:47.259 --> 00:33:47.759
 had said

00:33:47.759 --> 00:33:48.259
 these things

00:33:48.259 --> 00:33:48.839
 he departed

00:33:48.839 --> 00:33:49.279
 and hid

00:33:49.279 --> 00:33:50.000
 himself from

00:33:50.000 --> 00:33:50.279
 them

00:33:50.279 --> 00:33:50.740
 even though

00:33:50.740 --> 00:33:51.559
 it's five

00:33:51.559 --> 00:33:52.220
 days out

00:33:52.220 --> 00:33:53.100
 he says

00:33:53.100 --> 00:33:53.860
 these things

00:33:53.860 --> 00:33:55.319
 and then

00:33:55.319 --> 00:33:56.160
 he departs

00:33:56.160 --> 00:33:56.500
 and hides

00:33:56.500 --> 00:33:56.819
 himself

00:33:56.819 --> 00:33:57.720
 his time

00:33:57.720 --> 00:33:58.440
 to die

00:33:58.440 --> 00:33:59.700
 his moment

00:33:59.700 --> 00:34:00.500
 of death

00:34:00.500 --> 00:34:01.019
 has not yet

00:34:01.019 --> 00:34:01.440
 come

00:34:01.440 --> 00:34:02.860
 but look at

00:34:02.860 --> 00:34:03.600
 verse 37

00:34:03.599 --> 00:34:05.319
 though he

00:34:05.319 --> 00:34:05.859
 had done

00:34:05.859 --> 00:34:06.319
 so many

00:34:06.319 --> 00:34:06.980
 signs

00:34:06.980 --> 00:34:07.879
 before them

00:34:07.879 --> 00:34:09.679
 they still

00:34:09.679 --> 00:34:10.659
 did not

00:34:10.659 --> 00:34:11.519
 believe

00:34:11.519 --> 00:34:12.380
 in him

00:34:12.380 --> 00:34:14.339
 they still

00:34:14.339 --> 00:34:14.699
 did not

00:34:14.699 --> 00:34:15.179
 believe

00:34:15.179 --> 00:34:16.460
 and so

00:34:16.460 --> 00:34:17.119
 what John

00:34:17.119 --> 00:34:17.900
 does here

00:34:17.900 --> 00:34:18.380
 the writer

00:34:18.380 --> 00:34:18.659
 of the

00:34:18.659 --> 00:34:19.019
 gospel

00:34:19.019 --> 00:34:19.579
 of John

00:34:19.579 --> 00:34:20.380
 is he

00:34:20.380 --> 00:34:21.500
 then explains

00:34:21.500 --> 00:34:22.400
 their unbelief

00:34:22.400 --> 00:34:23.559
 why they

00:34:23.559 --> 00:34:23.839
 wouldn't

00:34:23.839 --> 00:34:24.219
 believe

00:34:24.219 --> 00:34:25.719
 and he

00:34:25.719 --> 00:34:26.299
 does so

00:34:26.299 --> 00:34:26.819
 by quoting

00:34:26.819 --> 00:34:27.500
 two passages

00:34:27.500 --> 00:34:28.519
 from Isaiah

00:34:28.519 --> 00:34:30.739
 the first

00:34:30.739 --> 00:34:31.940
 is Isaiah

00:34:31.940 --> 00:34:32.920
 chapter 53

00:34:32.920 --> 00:34:35.260
 so that the

00:34:35.260 --> 00:34:35.880
 word spoken

00:34:35.880 --> 00:34:36.500
 by the prophet

00:34:36.500 --> 00:34:37.079
 they did not

00:34:37.079 --> 00:34:37.840
 believe so that

00:34:37.840 --> 00:34:38.539
 the word spoken

00:34:38.539 --> 00:34:39.119
 by the prophet

00:34:39.119 --> 00:34:39.700
 Isaiah might

00:34:39.700 --> 00:34:40.240
 be fulfilled

00:34:40.240 --> 00:34:42.059
 their unbelief

00:34:42.059 --> 00:34:43.019
 fulfilled

00:34:43.019 --> 00:34:44.220
 what I'm about

00:34:44.220 --> 00:34:45.000
 to read to you

00:34:45.000 --> 00:34:45.619
 you ready

00:34:45.619 --> 00:34:50.360
 the first

00:34:50.360 --> 00:34:51.240
 verse may

00:34:51.240 --> 00:34:51.720
 not be

00:34:51.720 --> 00:34:52.159
 familiar

00:34:52.159 --> 00:34:53.559
 but the

00:34:53.559 --> 00:34:54.159
 second and

00:34:54.159 --> 00:34:54.840
 third will

00:34:54.840 --> 00:34:57.420
 who has

00:34:57.420 --> 00:34:57.900
 believed

00:34:57.900 --> 00:34:58.659
 what he has

00:34:58.659 --> 00:34:59.200
 heard from

00:34:59.200 --> 00:34:59.680
 us

00:34:59.680 --> 00:35:01.079
 and to whom

00:35:01.079 --> 00:35:02.059
 has the arm

00:35:02.059 --> 00:35:02.619
 of the Lord

00:35:02.619 --> 00:35:03.299
 been revealed

00:35:03.299 --> 00:35:04.500
 for he

00:35:04.500 --> 00:35:04.920
 grew up

00:35:04.920 --> 00:35:05.519
 before him

00:35:05.519 --> 00:35:05.900
 like a

00:35:05.900 --> 00:35:06.500
 young plant

00:35:06.500 --> 00:35:07.019
 and like a

00:35:07.019 --> 00:35:07.500
 root out

00:35:07.500 --> 00:35:07.880
 of dry

00:35:07.880 --> 00:35:08.359
 ground

00:35:08.359 --> 00:35:09.039
 he had

00:35:09.039 --> 00:35:09.779
 no form

00:35:09.779 --> 00:35:10.400
 or majesty

00:35:10.400 --> 00:35:10.920
 that we

00:35:10.920 --> 00:35:11.299
 should look

00:35:11.299 --> 00:35:11.719
 at him

00:35:11.719 --> 00:35:12.420
 and no

00:35:12.420 --> 00:35:12.799
 beauty

00:35:12.799 --> 00:35:13.219
 that we

00:35:13.219 --> 00:35:13.400
 should

00:35:13.400 --> 00:35:13.839
 desire

00:35:13.839 --> 00:35:14.159
 him

00:35:14.159 --> 00:35:14.859
 he was

00:35:14.859 --> 00:35:15.960
 despised

00:35:15.960 --> 00:35:16.920
 and rejected

00:35:16.920 --> 00:35:17.980
 by men

00:35:17.980 --> 00:35:18.940
 a man

00:35:18.940 --> 00:35:19.679
 of sorrows

00:35:19.679 --> 00:35:20.299
 and acquainted

00:35:20.299 --> 00:35:21.079
 with grief

00:35:21.079 --> 00:35:22.039
 and as one

00:35:22.039 --> 00:35:22.539
 from whom

00:35:22.539 --> 00:35:23.279
 men hide

00:35:23.279 --> 00:35:23.880
 their face

00:35:23.880 --> 00:35:24.179
 he was

00:35:24.179 --> 00:35:25.239
 despised

00:35:25.239 --> 00:35:26.079
 and we

00:35:26.079 --> 00:35:26.639
 esteemed

00:35:26.639 --> 00:35:27.279
 him not

00:35:27.280 --> 00:35:29.740
 that's

00:35:29.740 --> 00:35:30.060
 why they

00:35:30.060 --> 00:35:30.300
 weren't

00:35:30.300 --> 00:35:30.700
 believing

00:35:30.700 --> 00:35:32.120
 that

00:35:32.120 --> 00:35:33.760
 the

00:35:33.760 --> 00:35:34.060
 suffering

00:35:34.060 --> 00:35:34.560
 servant

00:35:34.560 --> 00:35:34.820
 the

00:35:34.820 --> 00:35:35.160
 Christ

00:35:35.160 --> 00:35:35.360
 had

00:35:35.360 --> 00:35:35.820
 come

00:35:35.820 --> 00:35:37.060
 and

00:35:37.060 --> 00:35:37.260
 they

00:35:37.260 --> 00:35:38.660
 they

00:35:38.660 --> 00:35:39.120
 rejected

00:35:39.120 --> 00:35:39.460
 him

00:35:39.460 --> 00:35:40.980
 he came

00:35:40.980 --> 00:35:41.400
 to his

00:35:41.400 --> 00:35:41.880
 own

00:35:41.880 --> 00:35:42.640
 and his

00:35:42.640 --> 00:35:43.260
 own

00:35:43.260 --> 00:35:43.920
 his very

00:35:43.920 --> 00:35:44.200
 own

00:35:44.200 --> 00:35:44.560
 did not

00:35:44.560 --> 00:35:44.980
 believe

00:35:44.980 --> 00:35:45.360
 him

00:35:45.360 --> 00:35:46.680
 and

00:35:46.680 --> 00:35:47.140
 they

00:35:47.140 --> 00:35:47.400
 are

00:35:47.400 --> 00:35:47.920
 personally

00:35:47.920 --> 00:35:48.640
 responsible

00:35:48.640 --> 00:35:49.700
 for

00:35:49.700 --> 00:35:50.120
 their

00:35:50.120 --> 00:35:51.060
 unbelief

00:35:51.059 --> 00:35:52.820
 they

00:35:52.820 --> 00:35:53.099
 still

00:35:53.099 --> 00:35:53.480
 did not

00:35:53.480 --> 00:35:53.799
 believe

00:35:53.799 --> 00:35:54.139
 they

00:35:54.139 --> 00:35:54.440
 didn't

00:35:54.440 --> 00:35:54.880
 believe

00:35:54.880 --> 00:35:56.980
 they're

00:35:56.980 --> 00:35:57.559
 responsible

00:35:57.559 --> 00:35:58.119
 for

00:35:58.119 --> 00:35:58.380
 their

00:35:58.380 --> 00:35:59.239
 unbelief

00:35:59.239 --> 00:36:01.079
 they

00:36:01.079 --> 00:36:01.219
 have

00:36:01.219 --> 00:36:01.619
 rejected

00:36:01.619 --> 00:36:01.840
 the

00:36:01.840 --> 00:36:02.139
 one

00:36:02.139 --> 00:36:03.279
 bringing

00:36:03.279 --> 00:36:03.940
 salvation

00:36:03.940 --> 00:36:05.559
 but then

00:36:05.559 --> 00:36:05.880
 we have

00:36:05.880 --> 00:36:06.179
 further

00:36:06.179 --> 00:36:06.820
 explanation

00:36:06.820 --> 00:36:08.079
 in

00:36:08.079 --> 00:36:08.320
 verse

00:36:08.320 --> 00:36:08.779
 39

00:36:08.779 --> 00:36:09.980
 and now

00:36:09.980 --> 00:36:10.299
 we get

00:36:10.299 --> 00:36:10.639
 into the

00:36:10.639 --> 00:36:10.840
 deep

00:36:10.840 --> 00:36:10.980
 end

00:36:10.980 --> 00:36:11.179
 of the

00:36:11.179 --> 00:36:11.400
 pool

00:36:11.400 --> 00:36:14.239
 listen

00:36:14.239 --> 00:36:14.500
 to what

00:36:14.500 --> 00:36:14.599
 he

00:36:14.599 --> 00:36:15.000
 says

00:36:15.000 --> 00:36:19.679
 therefore

00:36:19.679 --> 00:36:21.359
 they

00:36:21.359 --> 00:36:21.799
 could

00:36:21.799 --> 00:36:22.039
 not

00:36:22.039 --> 00:36:22.500
 believe

00:36:22.500 --> 00:36:24.859
 not

00:36:24.859 --> 00:36:25.159
 only

00:36:25.159 --> 00:36:25.699
 did

00:36:25.699 --> 00:36:25.819
 they

00:36:25.819 --> 00:36:26.039
 not

00:36:26.039 --> 00:36:26.399

00:36:27.399 --> 00:36:27.539
 they're

00:36:27.539 --> 00:36:28.000
 responsible

00:36:28.000 --> 00:36:28.299
 for

00:36:28.299 --> 00:36:28.559
 that

00:36:28.559 --> 00:36:29.980
 they

00:36:29.980 --> 00:36:30.319
 could

00:36:37.799 --> 00:36:38.299
 he goes

00:36:38.299 --> 00:36:39.279
 this is

00:36:39.279 --> 00:36:39.679
 out of

00:36:39.679 --> 00:36:40.039
 Isaiah

00:36:40.039 --> 00:36:40.519
 chapter

00:36:40.519 --> 00:36:41.219
 6

00:36:41.219 --> 00:36:42.819
 he has

00:36:42.819 --> 00:36:43.259
 blinded

00:36:43.259 --> 00:36:43.419
 their

00:36:43.799 --> 00:36:44.000
 and

 hearts

00:36:45.019 --> 00:36:45.639
 lest

00:36:45.639 --> 00:36:45.839
 they

00:36:45.839 --> 00:36:46.119
 see

00:36:46.119 --> 00:36:46.319
 with

00:36:48.699 --> 00:36:49.399
 and I

00:36:49.400 --> 00:36:49.559
 would

00:36:49.559 --> 00:36:49.820
 heal

00:36:49.820 --> 00:36:50.099
 them

00:36:50.099 --> 00:36:51.220
 Isaiah

00:36:51.220 --> 00:36:51.480
 is

00:36:51.480 --> 00:36:51.760
 saying

00:36:51.760 --> 00:36:51.960
 the

00:36:51.960 --> 00:36:52.240
 reason

00:36:52.240 --> 00:36:52.660
 why

00:36:52.660 --> 00:36:53.220
 they

00:36:53.220 --> 00:36:53.519
 don't

00:36:53.519 --> 00:36:54.079
 believe

00:36:54.079 --> 00:36:55.579
 is

00:36:55.579 --> 00:36:56.240
 because

00:36:56.240 --> 00:36:56.460
 they're

00:36:56.460 --> 00:36:56.920
 responsible

00:36:56.920 --> 00:36:57.240
 for

00:36:57.240 --> 00:36:57.440
 that

00:36:57.440 --> 00:36:57.700
 but

00:36:57.700 --> 00:36:58.579
 underneath

00:36:58.579 --> 00:36:58.980
 that

00:36:58.980 --> 00:36:59.500
 all

00:36:59.500 --> 00:37:00.019
 God

00:37:00.019 --> 00:37:00.220
 has

00:37:00.220 --> 00:37:00.500

00:37:01.160 --> 00:37:04.519
 it's

00:37:04.519 --> 00:37:05.099
 God

00:37:05.099 --> 00:37:06.320
 behind

00:37:06.320 --> 00:37:06.920
 this

00:37:06.920 --> 00:37:07.960
 that

00:37:07.960 --> 00:37:08.500
 can

00:37:08.500 --> 00:37:08.660
 make

 you

00:37:08.780 --> 00:37:09.160
 uncomfortable

00:37:10.980 --> 00:37:11.300
 actually

00:37:11.300 --> 00:37:11.619
 good

00:37:11.619 --> 00:37:11.760
 that

 you

00:37:12.200 --> 00:37:12.559
 uncomfortable

00:37:12.559 --> 00:37:14.360
 we're

00:37:14.360 --> 00:37:14.639
 seeing

00:37:14.639 --> 00:37:15.180
 God

00:37:15.180 --> 00:37:16.139

00:37:17.740 --> 00:37:18.300
 that

00:37:18.300 --> 00:37:18.639
 we

00:37:18.639 --> 00:37:19.099
 tend

 it's

00:37:52.500 --> 00:37:52.719
 it's

00:37:52.719 --> 00:37:53.219
 mysterious

00:37:53.219 --> 00:37:54.159
 we

00:37:54.159 --> 00:37:54.280
 don't

00:37:54.280 --> 00:37:54.480

 let me

 ask

 you

 question

00:37:55.579 --> 00:37:56.300
 or

00:37:56.300 --> 00:37:56.500
 let me

00:37:56.500 --> 00:37:56.659
 make

00:37:56.659 --> 00:37:56.820
 this

00:37:56.820 --> 00:37:57.059
 point

00:37:57.059 --> 00:37:57.800
 if

00:37:57.800 --> 00:37:58.239
 human

00:37:58.239 --> 00:37:58.599
 beings

00:37:58.599 --> 00:37:58.840
 this

00:37:58.840 --> 00:37:58.960

 John

00:37:59.199 --> 00:37:59.420
 Piper

00:37:59.420 --> 00:37:59.679
 point

00:37:59.679 --> 00:38:00.340
 if

00:38:00.340 --> 00:38:00.679
 human

00:38:00.679 --> 00:38:01.179
 beings

00:38:01.179 --> 00:38:01.199
!

00:38:01.199 --> 00:38:03.000
 are

00:38:03.000 --> 00:38:03.519
 able

00:38:03.519 --> 00:38:04.099
 to

00:38:04.099 --> 00:38:04.539
 turn

00:38:04.539 --> 00:38:05.000
 a

00:38:05.000 --> 00:38:06.179
 life

00:38:06.179 --> 00:38:06.919
 threatening

00:38:06.919 --> 00:38:07.819
 virus

00:38:07.819 --> 00:38:09.139
 into

00:38:09.139 --> 00:38:09.599
 a

00:38:09.599 --> 00:38:10.199
 life

00:38:10.199 --> 00:38:11.119
 protecting

00:38:11.119 --> 00:38:12.139
 vaccine

00:38:12.139 --> 00:38:13.419
 think

00:38:13.419 --> 00:38:13.599
 of

00:38:13.599 --> 00:38:14.139
 polio

00:38:14.139 --> 00:38:15.960
 then

00:38:15.960 --> 00:38:16.599
 I

00:38:16.599 --> 00:38:16.819
 think

00:38:16.819 --> 00:38:17.059
 God

00:38:17.059 --> 00:38:17.259
 can

00:38:17.259 --> 00:38:17.559
 figure

00:38:17.559 --> 00:38:17.839
 out

00:38:17.839 --> 00:38:18.039
 this

00:38:18.039 --> 00:38:18.239
 whole

00:38:18.239 --> 00:38:18.439
 thing

00:38:18.439 --> 00:38:18.739
 between

00:38:18.739 --> 00:38:19.039
 human

00:38:19.039 --> 00:38:19.639
 responsibility

00:38:19.639 --> 00:38:19.939
 and

00:38:19.939 --> 00:38:20.099
 his

00:38:20.099 --> 00:38:20.460
 sovereignty

00:38:20.460 --> 00:38:22.139
 I

00:38:22.139 --> 00:38:22.559
 think

00:38:22.559 --> 00:38:22.739
 he's

00:38:22.739 --> 00:38:22.899
 got

00:38:22.899 --> 00:38:23.039
 it

00:38:23.039 --> 00:38:23.359
 covered

00:38:23.359 --> 00:38:24.719
 we

00:38:24.719 --> 00:38:25.399
 come

00:38:25.399 --> 00:38:25.579
 up

00:38:25.579 --> 00:38:25.879
 short

00:38:25.879 --> 00:38:26.019
 in

00:38:26.019 --> 00:38:26.159
 being

00:38:26.159 --> 00:38:26.319
 able

00:38:26.319 --> 00:38:26.419
 to

00:38:26.419 --> 00:38:26.799
 understand

00:38:26.799 --> 00:38:26.980
 it

00:38:26.980 --> 00:38:27.139
 but

00:38:27.139 --> 00:38:27.699
 God

00:38:27.699 --> 00:38:28.259
 doesn't

00:38:28.259 --> 00:38:30.359
 what's

00:38:36.500 --> 00:38:36.819
 things

00:38:36.819 --> 00:38:37.199
 because

00:38:37.199 --> 00:38:37.460
 he

00:38:37.460 --> 00:38:38.000
 saw

 talking

00:38:46.179 --> 00:38:46.639
 about

00:38:46.639 --> 00:38:47.519
 the

00:39:22.220 --> 00:39:22.720
 humble

00:39:22.720 --> 00:39:24.300
 man

00:39:24.300 --> 00:39:25.059
 riding in

 then he

00:39:37.280 --> 00:39:37.820
 points to

00:39:37.820 --> 00:39:38.340
 a particular

00:39:38.340 --> 00:39:38.960
 type

00:39:38.960 --> 00:39:40.400

00:39:40.400 --> 00:39:40.980
 unbelief

00:39:40.980 --> 00:39:44.159
 it's

00:39:44.159 --> 00:39:48.559
 it's

00:39:48.559 --> 00:39:48.960
 crazy

00:39:48.960 --> 00:39:51.579
 verse 42

00:39:51.579 --> 00:39:51.980
 nevertheless

00:39:51.980 --> 00:39:52.820
 many even

00:39:52.820 --> 00:39:53.059
 of the

 authorities

00:39:53.559 --> 00:39:54.519
 believed

00:39:54.519 --> 00:39:54.920
 in him

00:39:54.920 --> 00:39:57.740
 think of

00:39:57.740 --> 00:39:58.179
 the word

00:39:58.179 --> 00:39:58.599
 believed

00:39:58.599 --> 00:39:59.179
 in quotes

00:39:59.179 --> 00:40:01.980
 but for

00:40:01.980 --> 00:40:02.260
 fear of

00:40:02.260 --> 00:40:02.380
 the

00:40:02.380 --> 00:40:02.880
 Pharisees

00:40:02.880 --> 00:40:03.219
 they did

00:40:03.219 --> 00:40:03.380
 not

00:40:03.380 --> 00:40:03.800
 confess

00:40:03.800 --> 00:40:04.059
 it

00:40:04.059 --> 00:40:05.320
 so that

00:40:05.320 --> 00:40:05.460
 they

00:40:05.460 --> 00:40:05.639
 would

00:40:07.460 --> 00:40:07.699
 love

00:40:07.699 --> 00:40:07.820
 the

00:40:07.820 --> 00:40:08.119
 glory

00:40:08.119 --> 00:40:08.340
 that

00:40:08.340 --> 00:40:08.579
 comes

00:40:08.579 --> 00:40:08.780
 from

 more

00:40:09.320 --> 00:40:09.480
 than

00:40:09.619 --> 00:40:09.840
 glory

00:40:09.840 --> 00:40:10.019
 that

00:40:10.019 --> 00:40:10.260
 comes

00:40:10.260 --> 00:40:10.460
 from

00:40:10.460 --> 00:40:10.740
 God

 of

00:40:14.699 --> 00:40:14.959
 Jesus

00:40:14.959 --> 00:40:15.259
 no

00:40:15.259 --> 00:40:15.439
 they

00:40:15.439 --> 00:40:15.959
 weren't

00:40:15.959 --> 00:40:17.899
 these

00:40:17.899 --> 00:40:18.419
 authorities

00:40:18.419 --> 00:40:18.759
 who

00:40:18.759 --> 00:40:19.139
 believed

00:40:19.139 --> 00:40:19.319
 in

00:40:19.319 --> 00:40:19.579
 Jesus

00:40:19.579 --> 00:40:19.859
 they

00:40:19.859 --> 00:40:20.019
 would

00:40:20.019 --> 00:40:20.219
 say

00:40:20.219 --> 00:40:20.379
 yeah

 I

00:40:20.500 --> 00:40:20.719

00:40:20.879 --> 00:40:21.119
 Jesus

00:40:21.119 --> 00:40:21.559

00:40:21.559 --> 00:40:21.719
 they

00:40:21.719 --> 00:40:21.899
 would

 them

00:40:29.479 --> 00:40:31.099
 that's

00:40:31.099 --> 00:40:31.199
 who

00:40:31.199 --> 00:40:31.299
 they

 were

00:40:31.459 --> 00:40:31.819
 serving

00:40:38.739 --> 00:40:38.879
 you're

00:40:38.879 --> 00:40:39.039
 not

00:40:39.039 --> 00:40:39.299
 willing

 Jesus

00:40:40.860 --> 00:40:42.019
 the king

00:40:42.019 --> 00:40:42.699
 of kings

00:40:42.699 --> 00:40:43.960
 before

 we have five

00:40:53.579 --> 00:40:54.739
 people who are

00:40:54.739 --> 00:40:55.779
 going public

00:40:55.779 --> 00:40:57.259
 with their

00:40:57.259 --> 00:40:58.279
 confession that

00:40:58.279 --> 00:40:59.360
 Jesus is their

00:40:59.360 --> 00:40:59.739
 king

00:40:59.739 --> 00:41:02.639
 they're not

00:41:02.639 --> 00:41:04.739
 fearing man

00:41:04.739 --> 00:41:09.379
 what we have

00:41:09.379 --> 00:41:09.659
 here

00:41:09.659 --> 00:41:10.119
 is an

00:41:10.119 --> 00:41:10.719
 explanation

00:41:10.719 --> 00:41:11.319
 of

00:41:11.319 --> 00:41:12.439
 people's

00:41:12.439 --> 00:41:13.119
 unbelief

00:41:13.119 --> 00:41:13.579
 in

00:41:13.579 --> 00:41:13.939
 verses

00:41:13.939 --> 00:41:14.559
 44

00:41:14.559 --> 00:41:14.859
 through

00:41:14.859 --> 00:41:15.399
 50

00:41:15.399 --> 00:41:15.799
 there's

00:41:15.799 --> 00:41:15.939
 a

00:41:15.939 --> 00:41:16.279
 last

00:41:16.279 --> 00:41:16.819
 call

00:41:16.819 --> 00:41:17.659
 in

00:41:17.659 --> 00:41:19.739
 publicly

00:41:19.739 --> 00:41:20.319
 Jesus

00:41:20.319 --> 00:41:20.939
 saying

00:41:20.939 --> 00:41:21.939
 believe

00:41:21.939 --> 00:41:22.500
 in me

00:41:22.500 --> 00:41:24.319
 he goes

00:41:24.319 --> 00:41:24.739
 to his

00:41:24.739 --> 00:41:25.159
 death

00:41:25.159 --> 00:41:26.419
 inviting

00:41:26.419 --> 00:41:27.159
 these

00:41:27.159 --> 00:41:27.500
 Jewish

00:41:27.500 --> 00:41:28.059
 people

00:41:28.059 --> 00:41:28.979
 and you

00:41:28.979 --> 00:41:29.419
 and me

00:41:29.419 --> 00:41:30.339
 to believe

00:41:30.339 --> 00:41:30.719
 in him

00:41:30.719 --> 00:41:31.179
 here's the

00:41:31.179 --> 00:41:31.659
 point of

00:41:31.659 --> 00:41:31.839
 this

00:41:31.839 --> 00:41:32.299
 passage

00:41:32.299 --> 00:41:33.779
 Jesus

00:41:33.779 --> 00:41:34.159
 is the

00:41:34.159 --> 00:41:34.379
 king

00:41:34.380 --> 00:41:36.480
 he's the

00:41:36.480 --> 00:41:36.840
 king who

00:41:36.840 --> 00:41:37.400
 has come

00:41:37.400 --> 00:41:39.059
 and the

00:41:39.059 --> 00:41:39.480
 question

00:41:39.480 --> 00:41:40.059
 is

00:41:40.059 --> 00:41:40.960
 is it

00:41:40.960 --> 00:41:41.420
 true

00:41:41.420 --> 00:41:42.059
 or not

00:41:42.059 --> 00:41:44.380
 is this

00:41:44.380 --> 00:41:44.840
 the real

00:41:44.840 --> 00:41:45.340
 king of

00:41:45.340 --> 00:41:45.640
 all

00:41:45.640 --> 00:41:46.800
 who

00:41:46.800 --> 00:41:48.180
 would lay

00:41:48.180 --> 00:41:48.680
 down his

00:41:48.680 --> 00:41:49.280
 life

00:41:49.280 --> 00:41:50.760
 so that

00:41:50.760 --> 00:41:51.320
 you could

00:41:51.320 --> 00:41:51.700
 live

00:41:51.700 --> 00:41:52.300
 eternally

00:41:52.300 --> 00:41:54.840
 there's a

00:41:54.840 --> 00:41:55.420
 variety

00:41:55.420 --> 00:41:56.780
 of responses

00:41:56.780 --> 00:41:57.619
 the one

00:41:57.619 --> 00:41:57.920
 that should

00:41:57.920 --> 00:41:58.519
 stand out

00:41:58.519 --> 00:41:58.820
 in your

00:41:58.820 --> 00:41:59.079
 mind

00:41:59.079 --> 00:41:59.820
 is Mary's

00:41:59.820 --> 00:42:00.360
 response

00:42:00.360 --> 00:42:01.420
 it was

00:42:01.420 --> 00:42:02.500
 extraordinary

00:42:02.500 --> 00:42:03.960
 her posture

00:42:03.960 --> 00:42:04.980
 giving of

00:42:04.980 --> 00:42:05.119
 her

00:42:05.119 --> 00:42:05.699
 prized

00:42:05.699 --> 00:42:06.220
 possessions

00:42:06.220 --> 00:42:07.720
 wiping

00:42:07.720 --> 00:42:08.360
 his feet

00:42:08.360 --> 00:42:08.860
 was the

00:42:08.860 --> 00:42:09.300
 pride

00:42:09.300 --> 00:42:09.800
 of her

00:42:09.800 --> 00:42:10.179
 being

00:42:10.179 --> 00:42:10.420
 her

00:42:10.420 --> 00:42:10.800
 hair

00:42:10.800 --> 00:42:13.179
 that's

00:42:13.179 --> 00:42:13.539
 how we

00:42:13.539 --> 00:42:13.699
 should

00:42:13.699 --> 00:42:14.260
 respond

00:42:14.260 --> 00:42:16.039
 and the

00:42:16.039 --> 00:42:16.659
 question is

00:42:16.659 --> 00:42:18.440
 why aren't

00:42:18.440 --> 00:42:19.059
 you responding

00:42:19.059 --> 00:42:19.619
 that way

00:42:19.619 --> 00:42:20.780
 what's keeping

00:42:20.780 --> 00:42:21.119
 you from

00:42:21.119 --> 00:42:21.420
 that

00:42:21.420 --> 00:42:23.599
 is it

00:42:23.599 --> 00:42:25.500
 love of

00:42:25.500 --> 00:42:25.880
 money

00:42:25.880 --> 00:42:27.500
 Judas

00:42:27.500 --> 00:42:30.579
 is it

00:42:30.579 --> 00:42:31.940
 losing

00:42:31.940 --> 00:42:32.719
 control

00:42:32.719 --> 00:42:34.920
 Pharisees

00:42:34.920 --> 00:42:36.639
 is it

00:42:36.639 --> 00:42:38.420
 saying

00:42:38.420 --> 00:42:39.500
 silent

00:42:39.500 --> 00:42:41.159
 like these

00:42:41.159 --> 00:42:41.659
 authorities

00:42:41.659 --> 00:42:42.279
 who wouldn't

00:42:42.279 --> 00:42:42.719
 confess

00:42:42.719 --> 00:42:43.340
 Jesus

00:42:43.340 --> 00:42:47.119
 or is

00:42:47.119 --> 00:42:47.340
 it

00:42:47.340 --> 00:42:48.519
 like the

00:42:48.519 --> 00:42:49.000
 crowds

00:42:49.000 --> 00:42:49.840
 making

00:42:49.840 --> 00:42:50.819
 this

00:42:50.819 --> 00:42:51.380
 king

00:42:51.380 --> 00:42:52.420
 into a

00:42:52.420 --> 00:42:52.719
 king

00:42:52.719 --> 00:42:53.420
 of your

00:42:53.420 --> 00:42:53.819
 own

00:42:53.819 --> 00:42:54.319
 making

00:42:54.319 --> 00:42:55.880
 is that

00:42:55.880 --> 00:42:57.319
 what's

00:42:57.319 --> 00:42:57.659
 keeping

00:42:57.659 --> 00:42:58.019
 you

00:42:58.019 --> 00:42:59.039
 from

00:42:59.039 --> 00:42:59.300
 going

00:42:59.300 --> 00:42:59.599
 all

00:42:59.599 --> 00:42:59.780
 in

00:42:59.780 --> 00:42:59.960
 for

00:42:59.960 --> 00:43:00.259
 Jesus

00:43:00.259 --> 00:43:00.619
 for

00:43:00.619 --> 00:43:01.059
 complete

00:43:01.059 --> 00:43:01.599
 surrender

00:43:01.599 --> 00:43:03.500
 remember

00:43:03.500 --> 00:43:04.679
 you

00:43:04.679 --> 00:43:06.179
 can't

00:43:06.179 --> 00:43:07.619
 simultaneously

00:43:07.619 --> 00:43:08.860
 be fully

00:43:08.860 --> 00:43:09.500
 devoted to

00:43:09.500 --> 00:43:10.019
 yourself

00:43:10.019 --> 00:43:11.099
 and fully

00:43:11.099 --> 00:43:11.840
 devoted to

00:43:11.840 --> 00:43:12.360
 Jesus

00:43:12.360 --> 00:43:13.039
 the king

00:43:13.039 --> 00:43:14.559
 you can't

00:43:14.559 --> 00:43:14.940
 have two

00:43:14.940 --> 00:43:15.440
 kings

00:43:15.440 --> 00:43:18.079
 and so

 you need

00:43:49.920 --> 00:43:50.180
 be

 because

00:43:52.619 --> 00:43:53.019

00:43:53.019 --> 00:43:53.699
 and

00:43:53.699 --> 00:43:53.919
 he's

00:43:53.919 --> 00:43:54.359
 made

00:43:54.359 --> 00:43:55.119
 one

00:43:55.119 --> 00:43:55.679
 way

00:43:55.679 --> 00:43:56.339
 one
