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

00:00:06.839 --> 00:00:09.359
 Our passion is to experience and express grace.

00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:10.500
 Join us.

00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:22.280
 We left off last week in our study of John's Gospel with Jesus standing strong in front

00:00:22.280 --> 00:00:29.800
 of the high priest while Peter's falling before a servant girl.

00:00:30.980 --> 00:00:37.560
 We know from other Gospel accounts that Jesus is then examined hurriedly by the Sanhedrin,

00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:45.939
 that's the Jewish ruling council, convicted of blasphemy, and then now this morning rushed

00:00:45.939 --> 00:00:48.560
 to the Roman governor Pilate.

00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:54.920
 And we get in this encounter another study of contrasts.

00:00:54.920 --> 00:01:01.020
 Jesus and his kingdom up against the kingdom of this world.

00:01:01.480 --> 00:01:06.099
 And the question before us in this passage is, is he king?

00:01:06.099 --> 00:01:12.719
 I know many people who enjoy the show, Is It Cake?

00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:20.420
 If you haven't seen it before, contestants bake cakes to look like everyday objects, including

00:01:20.420 --> 00:01:21.079
 the Mona Lisa.

00:01:21.260 --> 00:01:22.719
 That's an everyday object, of course.

00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:23.719
 church.

00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:30.859
 And at the end, you have to look at them carefully and you have to see if you can decide which

00:01:30.859 --> 00:01:35.900
 one is really cake and which one is not.

00:01:35.900 --> 00:01:42.500
 Before, finally, they cut into it, that's what he's doing here, to find out what it's made

00:01:42.500 --> 00:01:42.780
 of.

00:01:43.080 --> 00:01:43.760
 Is it cake?

00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:48.240
 So this passage, is he king?

00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:55.699
 It may challenge some of our ideas of what we think kings and kingdoms look like, of power

00:01:55.699 --> 00:01:57.039
 and control.

00:01:58.379 --> 00:02:05.759
 Look carefully at this interaction and see if you can spot the true king.

00:02:06.679 --> 00:02:14.240
 We pick up the reading of God's holy word at verse 28 of John 18 at what's now nearing

00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:16.659
 six o'clock Friday morning.

00:02:18.240 --> 00:02:22.480
 Then they led Jesus from the house of Caiaphas to the governor's headquarters.

00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:23.820
 It was early morning.

00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:29.800
 They themselves did not enter the governor's headquarters so that they would not be defiled

00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:30.980
 but could eat the Passover.

00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:38.180
 So Pilate went outside to them and said, what accusation do you bring against this man?

00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:43.439
 And they answered him, if this man were not doing evil, we would not have delivered him

00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:44.260
 over to you.

00:02:44.259 --> 00:02:49.579
 Pilate said to them, take him yourselves and judge him by your own law.

00:02:50.959 --> 00:02:54.679
 The Jews said to him, it's not lawful for us to put anyone to death.

00:02:56.239 --> 00:03:01.879
 This was to fulfill the word that Jesus had spoken to show by what kind of death he was

00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:03.000
 going to die.

00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:08.860
 So Pilate entered his headquarters again and called Jesus and said to him, are you the king

00:03:08.860 --> 00:03:09.620
 of the Jews?

00:03:11.020 --> 00:03:16.639
 Jesus answered, do you say this of your own accord or did others say it to you about me?

00:03:17.780 --> 00:03:19.800
 And Pilate answered, am I a Jew?

00:03:20.139 --> 00:03:23.080
 Your own nation and the chief priests have delivered you over to me.

00:03:23.139 --> 00:03:23.920
 What have you done?

00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:29.699
 Jesus answered, my kingdom is not of this world.

00:03:30.939 --> 00:03:35.759
 If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have been fighting that I might not be

00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:37.619
 delivered over to the Jews.

00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:40.859
 But my kingdom is not from the world.

00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:45.079
 Then Pilate said to him, so you are a king.

00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:48.799
 Jesus answered, you say that I am a king.

00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:54.840
 For this purpose I was born and for this purpose I have come into the world to bear witness to

00:03:54.840 --> 00:03:55.700
 the truth.

00:03:56.080 --> 00:03:59.020
 Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.

00:04:00.100 --> 00:04:02.520
 Pilate said to him, what is truth?

00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:10.120
 After he had said this, he went back outside to the Jews and told them, I find no guilt in

00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:10.480
 him.

00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:15.500
 But you have a custom that I should release one man for you at the Passover.

00:04:15.640 --> 00:04:18.600
 So do you want me to release to you the king of the Jews?

00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:23.860
 Jesus, they cried out again, not this man, but Barabbas.

00:04:25.259 --> 00:04:27.840
 Now Barabbas was a robber.

00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:31.840
 Pray with me.

00:04:36.139 --> 00:04:45.439
 God, would it be that in this room today every knee would bow before the true king?

00:04:45.439 --> 00:04:51.120
 That every heart here would delight in the king?

00:04:54.899 --> 00:04:58.000
 By your spirit, would you work in us to that end?

00:04:58.060 --> 00:05:00.500
 Because we bow to lots of other kings and kingdoms.

00:05:01.500 --> 00:05:02.779
 And we need your help.

00:05:02.899 --> 00:05:04.199
 And we thank you for your word.

00:05:05.139 --> 00:05:06.240
 In Jesus' name.

00:05:06.779 --> 00:05:07.079
 Amen.

00:05:07.079 --> 00:05:07.220
 Amen.

00:05:07.220 --> 00:05:17.320
 As the sun rises here in Jerusalem on this Friday morning, the Jewish leaders find themselves

00:05:17.320 --> 00:05:19.440
 in a complicated position.

00:05:20.440 --> 00:05:23.560
 They are in a hurry to finish Jesus off.

00:05:24.280 --> 00:05:26.380
 Passover is ramping up.

00:05:26.379 --> 00:05:28.540
 Tomorrow is the Sabbath.

00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:33.159
 And the religious leaders, they're worried about how many people are starting to flock

00:05:33.159 --> 00:05:33.939
 to Jesus.

00:05:34.339 --> 00:05:39.920
 They might lose what little freedom and control Rome allows them to have if the people get

00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:41.639
 too stirred up.

00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:50.699
 So they want Jesus dead and his followers snuffed out once and for all.

00:05:50.759 --> 00:05:52.519
 They want to deal with this guy.

00:05:53.019 --> 00:05:57.199
 And for that, they need the help of Roman power.

00:05:58.459 --> 00:06:00.379
 See, Rome gave the Jews some freedom.

00:06:00.659 --> 00:06:04.360
 They allowed them to handle a lot of their internal issues on their own.

00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:10.060
 Even the occasional stoning or two for things that got really bad.

00:06:10.759 --> 00:06:14.280
 But only Rome could crucify.

00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:22.900
 And isn't that exactly what would take care of Jesus and his followers?

00:06:23.319 --> 00:06:27.120
 His whole movement at the same time it would be taken care of.

00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:33.000
 The so-called Messiah would be dead and with two extra nails in his coffin.

00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:37.399
 Anyone crucified is cursed, right?

00:06:37.579 --> 00:06:40.100
 So no one would follow him anymore.

00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:48.879
 And secondly, this upstart pretender to the throne, so far from liberating Jews from Rome,

00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:52.360
 will be defeated by the power of Gentile Rome.

00:06:52.500 --> 00:06:53.160
 Can you imagine?

00:06:53.420 --> 00:06:56.839
 Clearly no Messiah to follow here, they think.

00:06:56.959 --> 00:06:58.360
 This will do it.

00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:04.100
 So, the Jewish leaders take Jesus to Pilate.

00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:08.939
 Only they can't go inside the seat of Roman power, can they?

00:07:08.939 --> 00:07:14.240
 Because they don't want to be ceremonially unclean from a Gentile house

00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:19.680
 and not be able to eat the Passover feast that they're in the middle of partying about, right?

00:07:19.860 --> 00:07:20.780
 Verse 28.

00:07:21.939 --> 00:07:23.439
 Isn't that ironic?

00:07:23.439 --> 00:07:29.240
 They're so careful with their religious ritual,

00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:36.560
 while at the same time so careless with the heart of their religion right there in front of them.

00:07:37.319 --> 00:07:40.500
 They're outside the house to stay clean,

00:07:40.860 --> 00:07:44.939
 while the one who would make them clean is inside.

00:07:44.939 --> 00:07:48.040
 They want to celebrate Passover.

00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:53.899
 It's a feast about deliverance by Yahweh and into relationship with Yahweh,

00:07:53.980 --> 00:07:56.860
 and they want to celebrate it without Yahweh.

00:07:57.839 --> 00:08:02.180
 The I am himself in the flesh.

00:08:04.899 --> 00:08:09.060
 See, religious people sometimes dispense with Jesus

00:08:09.060 --> 00:08:13.319
 so that we can relate to God on our own terms,

00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:15.139
 our own ways.

00:08:16.680 --> 00:08:20.300
 The Jewish leaders feel well on their way to God already.

00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:22.540
 So this Jesus saying,

00:08:22.740 --> 00:08:24.060
 He is the way,

00:08:24.819 --> 00:08:26.660
 that must be a distraction.

00:08:29.340 --> 00:08:34.220
 I'm very familiar personally with this way of relating to God.

00:08:34.220 --> 00:08:35.420
 Church attendance,

00:08:36.680 --> 00:08:39.960
 checking off Bible readings day by day,

00:08:40.519 --> 00:08:43.100
 coloring within the lines in my life.

00:08:44.920 --> 00:08:46.000
 To be honest,

00:08:46.100 --> 00:08:48.960
 it sometimes seems easier to control those things

00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:53.480
 than to have Jesus mess with the darkness in my heart.

00:08:54.139 --> 00:08:56.740
 Even if he promises he's going to clean it.

00:08:59.080 --> 00:09:02.879
 Just keep going and talk about Jesus some,

00:09:02.879 --> 00:09:03.500
 you know, I mean,

00:09:03.779 --> 00:09:06.899
 Christianity equals drop by church sometimes

00:09:06.899 --> 00:09:10.120
 and tip your cap to God before some meals,

00:09:10.379 --> 00:09:12.620
 but don't get too close to him, you know.

00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:13.919
 It might be uncomfortable.

00:09:14.220 --> 00:09:15.600
 He might disrupt things.

00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:21.159
 And we see here that religious ritual does not save,

00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:26.620
 but it can blind us from true spirituality.

00:09:27.179 --> 00:09:29.820
 We might even miss Jesus.

00:09:29.820 --> 00:09:35.020
 Confused religious people stuck outside.

00:09:36.480 --> 00:09:38.740
 But Pilate comes out to them.

00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:42.580
 What's the charge against Jesus?

00:09:43.040 --> 00:09:43.840
 He wants to know.

00:09:45.340 --> 00:09:48.640
 Well, their only established charge was blasphemy,

00:09:49.060 --> 00:09:51.480
 and they knew Pilate wouldn't care about that,

00:09:51.540 --> 00:09:53.680
 so they skirted the truth.

00:09:53.940 --> 00:09:55.560
 Hey, listen, don't worry about the charge.

00:09:56.200 --> 00:09:57.160
 Trust us.

00:09:57.819 --> 00:09:58.860
 This guy's trouble.

00:10:00.219 --> 00:10:01.860
 He'll create problems for you, Pilate.

00:10:01.899 --> 00:10:03.740
 If you don't take care of him, just do it.

00:10:05.500 --> 00:10:09.419
 Twisting the truth to get what they want, right?

00:10:10.639 --> 00:10:12.159
 They thought Pilate would go for it.

00:10:12.219 --> 00:10:13.240
 Pilate won't buy it.

00:10:14.100 --> 00:10:15.319
 Deal with him yourselves.

00:10:16.079 --> 00:10:17.019
 Take him back.

00:10:17.019 --> 00:10:21.439
 But that's a problem for the Jews, isn't it?

00:10:21.799 --> 00:10:23.600
 Because what do they want with Jesus?

00:10:24.299 --> 00:10:29.740
 They want Jesus executed, crucified, cursed.

00:10:31.439 --> 00:10:35.000
 They'll work the situation to get what they want

00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:38.179
 from this representative of power here.

00:10:39.439 --> 00:10:43.819
 Problem for them is they have significantly misunderstood,

00:10:43.820 --> 00:10:46.260
 underestimated Jesus.

00:10:47.379 --> 00:10:50.540
 In fact, just notice the dynamic going on here.

00:10:50.620 --> 00:10:55.480
 While the Jewish leaders and the Roman power broker,

00:10:57.180 --> 00:10:59.320
 while they argue about who's got the power,

00:10:59.700 --> 00:11:02.440
 who will call the shots about Jesus' death,

00:11:02.540 --> 00:11:03.820
 their back and forth,

00:11:04.379 --> 00:11:06.400
 who is actually in control?

00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:08.260
 Look at this.

00:11:08.360 --> 00:11:09.060
 Verse 32.

00:11:09.059 --> 00:11:12.799
 All this back and forth between the Romans and the Jews,

00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:19.839
 this was to fulfill the word Jesus had spoken.

00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:26.619
 To fulfill what Jesus said about how he would die.

00:11:27.039 --> 00:11:28.259
 Do you see this back and forth?

00:11:28.379 --> 00:11:32.939
 This just a manifestation of what a kangaroo court this is?

00:11:33.379 --> 00:11:35.599
 I mean, not only are they breaking all sorts of rules,

00:11:35.939 --> 00:11:37.919
 but the accused seems to be the judge.

00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:39.339
 He's the one in control.

00:11:41.079 --> 00:11:43.099
 So the Jews are convinced that crucifixion

00:11:43.099 --> 00:11:45.959
 is the way to stomp down the Jesus for Messiah movement

00:11:45.959 --> 00:11:47.399
 once and for all,

00:11:47.500 --> 00:11:50.299
 to remove Jesus from the hearts of his followers.

00:11:53.139 --> 00:11:56.079
 Jesus is convinced crucifixion

00:11:56.079 --> 00:11:58.740
 is the way he will be enthroned

00:11:58.740 --> 00:12:01.639
 in the hearts of his followers.

00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:07.480
 As lifted up means hung on a cross.

00:12:08.139 --> 00:12:12.240
 He draws, he says, all people to himself.

00:12:13.460 --> 00:12:15.019
 He's told us he will buy that,

00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:19.519
 give life to everyone who believes in him.

00:12:21.799 --> 00:12:26.759
 Do you see that as a very, very different kind of king?

00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:28.179
 Isn't it?

00:12:30.679 --> 00:12:31.720
 Is a king though?

00:12:32.080 --> 00:12:34.720
 Dear friends, I want to say this to you before we move on.

00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:36.679
 That you can trust.

00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:40.120
 That you can trust to be in control

00:12:40.120 --> 00:12:42.720
 in the worst times.

00:12:43.100 --> 00:12:44.799
 This seems like his low point.

00:12:45.340 --> 00:12:47.240
 And he is in control.

00:12:47.620 --> 00:12:52.340
 He is in control of whatever cross you're bearing right now.

00:12:52.340 --> 00:12:56.340
 Whatever uncertainty you're facing this week,

00:12:56.540 --> 00:13:01.220
 he is in control no matter what it looks like from your seat.

00:13:01.580 --> 00:13:02.860
 Don't be confused.

00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:04.660
 He's got you.

00:13:07.240 --> 00:13:09.580
 Well, Jesus is going to confuse Pilate too.

00:13:10.920 --> 00:13:12.800
 Pilate also misunderstood Jesus

00:13:12.800 --> 00:13:14.800
 because he knew about power

00:13:14.800 --> 00:13:17.160
 and we know a lot about Pilate from history.

00:13:17.320 --> 00:13:17.940
 He was practical.

00:13:18.400 --> 00:13:19.379
 He was pragmatic.

00:13:19.379 --> 00:13:22.519
 Pilate, whatever needed to be done to stay in power,

00:13:22.659 --> 00:13:23.939
 to keep the peace,

00:13:24.340 --> 00:13:27.500
 keep the Jews just happy enough not to rebel

00:13:27.500 --> 00:13:29.860
 and just humbled enough

00:13:29.860 --> 00:13:32.320
 that they wouldn't forget who was really in charge.

00:13:34.320 --> 00:13:36.840
 Pilate decides to ask Jesus himself,

00:13:37.740 --> 00:13:40.480
 are you the king of the Jews?

00:13:41.740 --> 00:13:43.179
 Apparently that's the basic idea

00:13:43.179 --> 00:13:45.080
 he took away from the crowd outside.

00:13:45.080 --> 00:13:50.540
 Well, that is a hard question to answer without context.

00:13:52.300 --> 00:13:54.920
 If by king, Pilate means a king

00:13:54.920 --> 00:13:56.980
 who will lead a Jewish uprising,

00:13:57.180 --> 00:13:58.360
 rebellion against Rome,

00:13:58.440 --> 00:14:00.060
 then no, he's not.

00:14:01.240 --> 00:14:02.340
 But if by king,

00:14:02.460 --> 00:14:04.980
 Pilate means the promised Jewish Messiah,

00:14:05.100 --> 00:14:07.940
 anointed one who will rescue his people,

00:14:08.080 --> 00:14:08.980
 then yes.

00:14:08.980 --> 00:14:09.120
 Pilate means.

00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:13.100
 So Jesus seeks to clarify

00:14:13.100 --> 00:14:15.899
 which one Pilate means.

00:14:17.879 --> 00:14:19.300
 And Pilate's very clear.

00:14:19.300 --> 00:14:22.500
 He knows which one he's talking about.

00:14:22.920 --> 00:14:24.600
 He misses, by the way,

00:14:24.700 --> 00:14:27.300
 that Jesus doesn't threaten local Pilate,

00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:32.500
 but does rival the power claimed by Caesar

00:14:32.500 --> 00:14:35.080
 as divine Lord.

00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:36.840
 If Jesus is Lord,

00:14:37.399 --> 00:14:38.720
 that's the problem for Rome.

00:14:39.940 --> 00:14:41.460
 But Pilate responds,

00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:43.360
 I don't care about your little

00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:45.300
 internal Jewish religious squabbles.

00:14:46.560 --> 00:14:49.300
 I want to know if you'll cause me problems.

00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:51.340
 If you're gonna mess with my life,

00:14:51.399 --> 00:14:52.759
 if you're gonna threaten my power,

00:14:52.840 --> 00:14:54.279
 that's all I'm checking out here, Jesus.

00:14:56.779 --> 00:14:58.300
 For many who are irreligious,

00:14:58.460 --> 00:15:01.139
 I think that's their issue with Jesus.

00:15:01.139 --> 00:15:06.740
 One such friend said to me not long ago,

00:15:06.960 --> 00:15:08.379
 if Jesus is king,

00:15:08.460 --> 00:15:11.100
 it changes everything about my life.

00:15:11.299 --> 00:15:13.740
 He can ask anything of me.

00:15:14.100 --> 00:15:17.419
 It's easier to dismiss him as an imposter,

00:15:17.620 --> 00:15:19.759
 to live without God,

00:15:20.319 --> 00:15:22.500
 than to have him boss me around.

00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:25.000
 That's honest.

00:15:25.000 --> 00:15:29.659
 Maybe you feel more or less that way.

00:15:30.879 --> 00:15:33.700
 You may not be wrong about what it means

00:15:33.700 --> 00:15:37.500
 for changing your life if Jesus is king,

00:15:37.500 --> 00:15:39.419
 but is there any chance

00:15:39.419 --> 00:15:40.919
 that it would be changed for the better?

00:15:42.059 --> 00:15:43.480
 Is there any chance

00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:44.960
 he would be a better king

00:15:44.960 --> 00:15:47.379
 than you would or I would?

00:15:48.580 --> 00:15:51.279
 Maybe a chance he'd be more than a boss.

00:15:51.279 --> 00:15:55.059
 He will be different.

00:15:55.579 --> 00:15:56.220
 That's for sure.

00:15:57.240 --> 00:15:58.480
 Keep listening to him

00:15:58.480 --> 00:15:59.959
 as he talks about his kingdom,

00:16:00.339 --> 00:16:02.439
 his rule and reign.

00:16:02.720 --> 00:16:05.159
 Listen to what his kingdom is like.

00:16:05.279 --> 00:16:06.759
 Verse 36.

00:16:08.639 --> 00:16:09.339
 Jesus says,

00:16:09.539 --> 00:16:11.799
 my kingdom is not of this world.

00:16:13.079 --> 00:16:14.659
 If my kingdom were of this world,

00:16:14.740 --> 00:16:16.220
 my servants would have been fighting

00:16:16.220 --> 00:16:18.600
 that I might not be delivered over to the Jews,

00:16:18.600 --> 00:16:20.379
 but my kingdom is not.

00:16:21.279 --> 00:16:23.059
 From the world.

00:16:23.839 --> 00:16:25.120
 This, y'all,

00:16:25.179 --> 00:16:28.220
 is really the crux of the contrast here.

00:16:29.419 --> 00:16:31.500
 Jesus is highlighting with very unusual

00:16:31.500 --> 00:16:33.079
 and intentional language,

00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:35.179
 my kingdom.

00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:39.399
 The particular rule that I exercise

00:16:39.399 --> 00:16:41.720
 is different from what you're used to.

00:16:41.779 --> 00:16:42.519
 That's what he's saying.

00:16:43.079 --> 00:16:43.559
 In fact,

00:16:43.819 --> 00:16:47.559
 my kingship is unlike anything else

00:16:47.559 --> 00:16:48.799
 in this world.

00:16:48.799 --> 00:16:49.919
 You're totally unfamiliar

00:16:49.919 --> 00:16:52.139
 with what I'm talking about, Pilate.

00:16:53.779 --> 00:16:57.439
 See, it's not of this world, is it?

00:16:57.899 --> 00:17:02.159
 That means it didn't start within this world.

00:17:02.279 --> 00:17:04.759
 Its origins are different.

00:17:06.359 --> 00:17:08.119
 Where'd the power come from?

00:17:08.180 --> 00:17:11.460
 He's talking about a divine source of power

00:17:11.460 --> 00:17:13.440
 outside this world.

00:17:13.440 --> 00:17:17.279
 Just think about that for a minute.

00:17:18.660 --> 00:17:21.080
 That's gonna change things, isn't it?

00:17:21.539 --> 00:17:23.240
 If you don't have to manipulate

00:17:23.240 --> 00:17:26.360
 and curry favor and campaign

00:17:26.360 --> 00:17:28.259
 to get power from other people,

00:17:28.820 --> 00:17:30.740
 if you've got another source,

00:17:30.900 --> 00:17:31.940
 that changes things.

00:17:32.080 --> 00:17:33.640
 If you can lead from below,

00:17:33.799 --> 00:17:36.200
 like washing people's feet,

00:17:36.200 --> 00:17:39.700
 and even if you're misunderstood,

00:17:39.940 --> 00:17:40.420
 it's okay.

00:17:42.080 --> 00:17:44.519
 It means the values of Jesus' kingdom

00:17:44.519 --> 00:17:45.279
 are different.

00:17:46.080 --> 00:17:47.680
 The goals are different.

00:17:48.240 --> 00:17:50.660
 But the realm over which he rules

00:17:50.660 --> 00:17:51.900
 is different.

00:17:52.160 --> 00:17:53.980
 He's looking to amass not land,

00:17:54.319 --> 00:17:55.259
 but lives.

00:17:55.799 --> 00:17:57.819
 He's wanting to gather not soldiers,

00:17:58.120 --> 00:17:59.200
 but souls.

00:18:00.580 --> 00:18:02.620
 He gives us one specific example

00:18:02.620 --> 00:18:04.080
 of what's unique about this.

00:18:04.079 --> 00:18:05.939
 Unlike the kingdoms of this world,

00:18:06.240 --> 00:18:07.460
 Jesus and his followers

00:18:07.460 --> 00:18:09.299
 don't have to fight, do they?

00:18:09.699 --> 00:18:10.460
 For control.

00:18:11.639 --> 00:18:12.799
 They don't have to accumulate

00:18:12.799 --> 00:18:13.579
 the most money,

00:18:14.199 --> 00:18:15.220
 collect the most votes,

00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:16.519
 win the most arguments.

00:18:17.439 --> 00:18:18.679
 It's not what it's about

00:18:18.679 --> 00:18:19.399
 in his kingdom.

00:18:21.099 --> 00:18:22.460
 I'll just tell you,

00:18:22.819 --> 00:18:23.460
 side note,

00:18:23.559 --> 00:18:25.799
 this is why we as a church

00:18:25.799 --> 00:18:26.759
 don't support

00:18:26.759 --> 00:18:29.139
 one particular political party.

00:18:29.960 --> 00:18:30.079
 Okay?

00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:32.419
 I mean, we like parties here, right?

00:18:32.420 --> 00:18:34.360
 Especially the kind

00:18:34.360 --> 00:18:35.380
 with cake and ice cream.

00:18:35.539 --> 00:18:37.560
 I love parties like that.

00:18:38.000 --> 00:18:38.440
 But this,

00:18:38.759 --> 00:18:39.600
 Jesus' kingdom

00:18:39.600 --> 00:18:40.960
 is not even third party.

00:18:41.380 --> 00:18:44.100
 It is above all parties.

00:18:44.240 --> 00:18:45.500
 And that's really important

00:18:45.500 --> 00:18:46.140
 because it means

00:18:46.140 --> 00:18:46.980
 that he challenges,

00:18:47.220 --> 00:18:47.880
 in this case,

00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:48.460
 for us,

00:18:48.660 --> 00:18:50.140
 Republicans and Democrats.

00:18:51.160 --> 00:18:51.900
 He challenges us

00:18:51.900 --> 00:18:53.320
 to examine our goals,

00:18:53.840 --> 00:18:54.700
 our methods,

00:18:55.240 --> 00:18:56.360
 inviting conservatives

00:18:56.360 --> 00:18:57.340
 and liberals

00:18:57.340 --> 00:18:58.519
 to find hope

00:18:58.519 --> 00:18:59.080
 and strength

00:18:59.079 --> 00:19:00.259
 in one place

00:19:00.259 --> 00:19:01.500
 in the power

00:19:01.500 --> 00:19:02.240
 of a God

00:19:02.240 --> 00:19:03.159
 who's been at work

00:19:03.159 --> 00:19:03.799
 in this world

00:19:03.799 --> 00:19:04.579
 long before

00:19:04.579 --> 00:19:05.799
 the American experiment

00:19:05.799 --> 00:19:06.659
 even began

00:19:06.659 --> 00:19:08.460
 and who's going

00:19:08.460 --> 00:19:09.740
 to continue reigning

00:19:09.740 --> 00:19:10.859
 long after

00:19:10.859 --> 00:19:11.740
 the last president

00:19:11.740 --> 00:19:13.039
 of the United States.

00:19:13.460 --> 00:19:13.879
 He says,

00:19:13.980 --> 00:19:14.480
 rejoice!

00:19:14.919 --> 00:19:16.419
 The Lord is king!

00:19:17.059 --> 00:19:17.359
 Right?

00:19:18.059 --> 00:19:19.000
 His kingdom

00:19:19.000 --> 00:19:20.519
 shall not fail.

00:19:20.720 --> 00:19:21.619
 He rules

00:19:21.619 --> 00:19:22.379
 over earth

00:19:22.379 --> 00:19:23.319
 and heaven,

00:19:23.539 --> 00:19:24.139
 over death

00:19:24.139 --> 00:19:24.819
 and hell,

00:19:25.019 --> 00:19:25.980
 over all nations,

00:19:26.099 --> 00:19:26.519
 over you,

00:19:26.619 --> 00:19:27.159
 over me.

00:19:27.319 --> 00:19:28.319
 He's the king.

00:19:28.319 --> 00:19:29.480
 There's one king.

00:19:33.619 --> 00:19:34.679
 So maybe we start

00:19:34.679 --> 00:19:35.319
 asking ourselves,

00:19:35.519 --> 00:19:36.099
 okay, I got it.

00:19:36.139 --> 00:19:36.639
 Jesus is,

00:19:36.899 --> 00:19:38.439
 he's otherworldly

00:19:38.439 --> 00:19:39.500
 and maybe if he is

00:19:39.500 --> 00:19:41.819
 so otherworldly,

00:19:42.099 --> 00:19:42.919
 is he like one

00:19:42.919 --> 00:19:44.200
 of those religious gurus,

00:19:44.319 --> 00:19:44.740
 one of those

00:19:44.740 --> 00:19:46.500
 philosophical thinkers

00:19:46.500 --> 00:19:47.399
 who just wants

00:19:47.399 --> 00:19:48.220
 for his followers

00:19:48.220 --> 00:19:49.819
 to escape this world,

00:19:50.480 --> 00:19:52.359
 to ignore the earth,

00:19:52.919 --> 00:19:54.279
 to avoid the people

00:19:54.279 --> 00:19:55.000
 and the communities

00:19:55.000 --> 00:19:55.579
 around them?

00:19:55.599 --> 00:19:56.259
 Is that what Jesus

00:19:56.259 --> 00:19:57.000
 is all about?

00:19:58.319 --> 00:19:59.119
 Well, no.

00:20:00.439 --> 00:20:00.960
 Again,

00:20:01.059 --> 00:20:01.899
 Jesus' kingdom

00:20:01.899 --> 00:20:03.619
 is quite different.

00:20:07.159 --> 00:20:07.679
 Pilate,

00:20:07.759 --> 00:20:08.240
 for his part,

00:20:08.339 --> 00:20:09.559
 is just glad

00:20:09.559 --> 00:20:10.460
 Jesus finally admitted

00:20:10.460 --> 00:20:11.119
 to being a king,

00:20:11.259 --> 00:20:11.460
 right?

00:20:11.759 --> 00:20:12.159
 Finally,

00:20:12.240 --> 00:20:13.000
 we're getting somewhere.

00:20:13.439 --> 00:20:14.460
 So you are a king!

00:20:14.460 --> 00:20:18.559
 Jesus said,

00:20:19.200 --> 00:20:20.480
 this response

00:20:20.480 --> 00:20:21.259
 is a way of saying,

00:20:21.660 --> 00:20:22.180
 yes,

00:20:22.460 --> 00:20:22.940
 yes,

00:20:23.200 --> 00:20:24.019
 let me explain.

00:20:24.660 --> 00:20:26.100
 You say that I am a king.

00:20:26.819 --> 00:20:27.940
 For this purpose

00:20:27.940 --> 00:20:28.819
 I was born

00:20:28.819 --> 00:20:29.940
 and for this purpose

00:20:29.940 --> 00:20:31.299
 I have come into the world

00:20:31.299 --> 00:20:32.860
 to bear witness

00:20:32.860 --> 00:20:34.000
 to the truth.

00:20:34.740 --> 00:20:35.920
 Everyone who is of the truth

00:20:35.920 --> 00:20:36.819
 listens to

00:20:36.819 --> 00:20:38.460
 my voice.

00:20:38.460 --> 00:20:39.140
 voice.

00:20:40.059 --> 00:20:40.759
 The king

00:20:40.759 --> 00:20:42.440
 from another world

00:20:42.440 --> 00:20:44.019
 has come into

00:20:44.019 --> 00:20:45.400
 this world,

00:20:45.480 --> 00:20:45.740
 right?

00:20:46.360 --> 00:20:47.180
 In fact,

00:20:47.220 --> 00:20:48.200
 he sends his followers

00:20:48.200 --> 00:20:49.059
 into this world too.

00:20:49.140 --> 00:20:49.340
 Remember,

00:20:49.420 --> 00:20:50.640
 he just prayed about that

00:20:50.640 --> 00:20:51.660
 in John 17.

00:20:53.420 --> 00:20:54.180
 While his kingdom

00:20:54.180 --> 00:20:55.100
 didn't start

00:20:55.100 --> 00:20:56.519
 from within this world,

00:20:56.680 --> 00:20:57.640
 it also does not

00:20:57.640 --> 00:20:58.519
 stay away

00:20:58.519 --> 00:21:00.539
 from this world.

00:21:01.519 --> 00:21:02.519
 We are told

00:21:02.519 --> 00:21:03.420
 to pray

00:21:03.420 --> 00:21:04.720
 for his kingdom

00:21:04.720 --> 00:21:05.400
 to come

00:21:05.400 --> 00:21:06.500
 on earth

00:21:06.500 --> 00:21:08.259
 as it is in heaven.

00:21:08.519 --> 00:21:09.420
 We are to put on

00:21:09.420 --> 00:21:10.500
 the armor of God

00:21:10.500 --> 00:21:12.420
 not for physical warfare,

00:21:12.640 --> 00:21:12.819
 right?

00:21:12.940 --> 00:21:13.900
 Read the armor.

00:21:14.000 --> 00:21:14.380
 What it's about

00:21:14.380 --> 00:21:16.099
 is for spiritual warfare,

00:21:16.279 --> 00:21:16.819
 for prayer,

00:21:17.200 --> 00:21:18.740
 for salvation being spread,

00:21:18.839 --> 00:21:20.700
 for truth being proclaimed.

00:21:21.059 --> 00:21:21.980
 Isn't that what Jesus

00:21:21.980 --> 00:21:23.319
 says here it's about?

00:21:25.039 --> 00:21:25.799
 Let me tell you

00:21:25.799 --> 00:21:26.519
 why I was born,

00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:28.140
 why I came into this world

00:21:28.140 --> 00:21:29.420
 to which I do not belong,

00:21:30.140 --> 00:21:31.460
 to bear witness

00:21:31.460 --> 00:21:33.200
 to the truth,

00:21:34.279 --> 00:21:35.500
 not to twist it

00:21:35.500 --> 00:21:36.619
 to my own comfort,

00:21:37.019 --> 00:21:37.460
 power,

00:21:37.980 --> 00:21:38.339
 pleasure?

00:21:39.579 --> 00:21:40.099
 No.

00:21:40.680 --> 00:21:41.559
 To reveal

00:21:41.559 --> 00:21:43.539
 the true king,

00:21:44.180 --> 00:21:45.880
 true power,

00:21:46.259 --> 00:21:47.779
 the true God.

00:21:47.839 --> 00:21:48.579
 Isn't that what John

00:21:48.579 --> 00:21:49.279
 has been telling us

00:21:49.279 --> 00:21:50.019
 all along

00:21:50.019 --> 00:21:51.319
 that Jesus has come to do?

00:21:51.500 --> 00:21:52.319
 To show us

00:21:52.319 --> 00:21:53.299
 in the flesh,

00:21:53.640 --> 00:21:55.759
 in the body of man,

00:21:55.920 --> 00:21:57.359
 what it looks like

00:21:57.359 --> 00:21:59.640
 for the true God

00:21:59.640 --> 00:22:01.140
 to live.

00:22:01.140 --> 00:22:02.619
 He's showing us

00:22:02.619 --> 00:22:03.579
 God in the flesh.

00:22:03.579 --> 00:22:04.779
 So now we know

00:22:04.779 --> 00:22:05.579
 what the true king

00:22:05.579 --> 00:22:06.699
 is really like.

00:22:08.199 --> 00:22:09.159
 So listen,

00:22:09.319 --> 00:22:09.939
 part of being

00:22:09.939 --> 00:22:11.519
 kingdom people,

00:22:12.319 --> 00:22:13.599
 if you're called

00:22:13.599 --> 00:22:15.019
 to be one of Jesus' people

00:22:15.019 --> 00:22:15.679
 and to be about

00:22:15.679 --> 00:22:16.419
 his kingdom,

00:22:16.639 --> 00:22:17.240
 part of that

00:22:17.240 --> 00:22:17.919
 is being people

00:22:17.919 --> 00:22:18.779
 of truth

00:22:18.779 --> 00:22:20.139
 everywhere,

00:22:21.019 --> 00:22:21.319
 right?

00:22:22.980 --> 00:22:24.439
 Opposing lies,

00:22:25.500 --> 00:22:26.720
 defending truth,

00:22:26.919 --> 00:22:28.019
 fighting distortion.

00:22:28.019 --> 00:22:28.839
 It matters

00:22:28.839 --> 00:22:30.159
 wherever you do it.

00:22:30.160 --> 00:22:32.360
 I love how theologian

00:22:32.360 --> 00:22:33.220
 Albert Walters

00:22:33.220 --> 00:22:33.840
 says it.

00:22:34.220 --> 00:22:35.320
 In the name of Christ,

00:22:35.660 --> 00:22:36.820
 distortion must be

00:22:36.820 --> 00:22:37.960
 opposed everywhere,

00:22:38.519 --> 00:22:39.259
 in the kitchen

00:22:39.259 --> 00:22:40.259
 and the bedroom,

00:22:40.700 --> 00:22:41.600
 in city councils

00:22:41.600 --> 00:22:43.019
 and corporate boardrooms,

00:22:43.480 --> 00:22:44.220
 on the stage

00:22:44.220 --> 00:22:44.920
 and on the air,

00:22:45.120 --> 00:22:45.900
 in the classroom

00:22:45.900 --> 00:22:46.720
 and in the workshop,

00:22:47.500 --> 00:22:47.940
 by the way,

00:22:47.980 --> 00:22:49.220
 in the leader you dislike

00:22:49.220 --> 00:22:50.820
 and in the party you love.

00:22:52.840 --> 00:22:53.400
 Everywhere,

00:22:53.620 --> 00:22:54.480
 creation calls

00:22:54.480 --> 00:22:55.060
 for the honoring

00:22:55.060 --> 00:22:56.660
 of God's standards.

00:22:57.180 --> 00:22:57.460
 Everywhere,

00:22:57.460 --> 00:22:58.700
 humanity's sinfulness

00:22:58.700 --> 00:23:00.720
 disrupts and deforms.

00:23:01.160 --> 00:23:01.559
 Everywhere,

00:23:01.759 --> 00:23:02.779
 Christ's victory

00:23:02.779 --> 00:23:03.779
 is pregnant

00:23:03.779 --> 00:23:05.240
 with the defeat of sin

00:23:05.240 --> 00:23:06.240
 and the recovery

00:23:06.240 --> 00:23:07.460
 of creation.

00:23:08.740 --> 00:23:10.299
 Where do you get to

00:23:10.299 --> 00:23:12.180
 declare in word

00:23:12.180 --> 00:23:12.799
 and deed

00:23:12.799 --> 00:23:14.340
 Christ's victory,

00:23:14.740 --> 00:23:15.700
 his truth?

00:23:15.799 --> 00:23:16.900
 Where has he sent you

00:23:16.900 --> 00:23:18.660
 to be about his truth?

00:23:21.960 --> 00:23:23.539
 What is truth?

00:23:23.539 --> 00:23:27.599
 I don't know

00:23:27.599 --> 00:23:28.399
 if Pilate is

00:23:28.399 --> 00:23:29.899
 giving up,

00:23:30.460 --> 00:23:30.799
 maybe,

00:23:31.399 --> 00:23:32.879
 or if he's

00:23:32.879 --> 00:23:33.680
 personally

00:23:33.680 --> 00:23:35.599
 really intrigued

00:23:35.599 --> 00:23:36.420
 by Jesus'

00:23:36.700 --> 00:23:38.059
 unique description

00:23:38.059 --> 00:23:39.079
 of his kingdom

00:23:39.079 --> 00:23:40.480
 and this personal

00:23:40.480 --> 00:23:41.079
 invitation

00:23:41.079 --> 00:23:42.119
 he just received.

00:23:42.920 --> 00:23:43.440
 Everyone

00:23:43.440 --> 00:23:45.079
 who's of the truth

00:23:45.079 --> 00:23:46.460
 listens to my voice.

00:23:46.639 --> 00:23:47.279
 What's he inviting

00:23:47.279 --> 00:23:48.039
 Pilate to do?

00:23:48.680 --> 00:23:49.519
 He's sitting right there

00:23:49.519 --> 00:23:50.279
 staring at him.

00:23:51.079 --> 00:23:51.379
 Pilate,

00:23:51.460 --> 00:23:51.799
 listen.

00:23:52.460 --> 00:23:52.839
 Listen.

00:23:52.839 --> 00:23:53.959
 You can know

00:23:53.959 --> 00:23:55.019
 the truth himself.

00:23:55.439 --> 00:23:56.179
 That's the irony.

00:23:56.379 --> 00:23:57.379
 Pilate's staring him

00:23:57.379 --> 00:23:57.919
 in the face,

00:23:58.000 --> 00:23:58.759
 the one who has said,

00:23:58.919 --> 00:24:00.419
 I am the truth.

00:24:01.480 --> 00:24:02.199
 And Pilate's

00:24:02.199 --> 00:24:04.079
 wondering what truth is.

00:24:05.299 --> 00:24:06.399
 But he doesn't even

00:24:06.399 --> 00:24:07.740
 consider an answer

00:24:07.740 --> 00:24:09.000
 from Jesus.

00:24:11.059 --> 00:24:12.319
 He asks this question

00:24:12.319 --> 00:24:12.799
 and instead

00:24:12.799 --> 00:24:13.819
 he just walks

00:24:13.819 --> 00:24:14.720
 back outside

00:24:14.720 --> 00:24:16.599
 with the Jewish crowds

00:24:16.599 --> 00:24:18.299
 now gathering

00:24:18.299 --> 00:24:19.319
 around his house.

00:24:20.779 --> 00:24:21.459
 Verse 38.

00:24:22.839 --> 00:24:23.579
 After he said this

00:24:23.579 --> 00:24:24.139
 he went back

00:24:24.139 --> 00:24:25.240
 outside to the Jews

00:24:25.240 --> 00:24:26.459
 and told them

00:24:26.459 --> 00:24:27.599
 I find

00:24:27.599 --> 00:24:28.639
 no guilt

00:24:28.639 --> 00:24:29.819
 in him.

00:24:30.720 --> 00:24:31.679
 He's finished

00:24:31.679 --> 00:24:32.740
 with his trial,

00:24:32.879 --> 00:24:33.779
 his questioning.

00:24:34.139 --> 00:24:35.099
 He's understood

00:24:35.099 --> 00:24:35.799
 enough to know

00:24:35.799 --> 00:24:36.220
 that Jesus

00:24:36.220 --> 00:24:36.959
 is not a threat

00:24:36.959 --> 00:24:37.399
 to him.

00:24:38.319 --> 00:24:38.799
 And he's got

00:24:38.799 --> 00:24:39.579
 an idea now,

00:24:39.699 --> 00:24:39.879
 right?

00:24:40.559 --> 00:24:41.099
 Passover.

00:24:41.599 --> 00:24:42.240
 The celebration

00:24:42.240 --> 00:24:42.959
 of freedom.

00:24:43.319 --> 00:24:43.919
 The release

00:24:43.919 --> 00:24:44.819
 of one Jew.

00:24:45.039 --> 00:24:45.439
 I see,

00:24:45.539 --> 00:24:46.359
 Pilate sees it

00:24:46.359 --> 00:24:47.480
 all coming together.

00:24:47.480 --> 00:24:48.959
 But you have

00:24:48.959 --> 00:24:49.419
 a custom

00:24:49.419 --> 00:24:49.939
 that I should

00:24:49.939 --> 00:24:50.799
 release one man

00:24:50.799 --> 00:24:51.079
 for you

00:24:51.079 --> 00:24:51.819
 at the Passover.

00:24:52.119 --> 00:24:52.559
 So do you

00:24:52.559 --> 00:24:52.839
 want me

00:24:52.839 --> 00:24:53.319
 to release

00:24:53.319 --> 00:24:53.619
 to you

00:24:53.619 --> 00:24:54.319
 the king

00:24:54.319 --> 00:24:55.059
 of the Jews?

00:24:59.500 --> 00:25:00.299
 They cried

00:25:00.299 --> 00:25:00.940
 out again,

00:25:01.440 --> 00:25:03.299
 not this man

00:25:03.299 --> 00:25:05.299
 but Barabbas.

00:25:07.119 --> 00:25:08.259
 Now Barabbas

00:25:08.259 --> 00:25:09.659
 was a robber.

00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:11.960
 A robber.

00:25:13.319 --> 00:25:15.039
 An insurrectionist.

00:25:15.039 --> 00:25:16.119
 A rioter.

00:25:17.619 --> 00:25:18.539
 Mark tells us

00:25:18.539 --> 00:25:19.419
 in his gospel

00:25:19.420 --> 00:25:20.060
 that Barabbas

00:25:20.060 --> 00:25:20.539
 had actually

00:25:20.539 --> 00:25:21.560
 committed murder

00:25:21.560 --> 00:25:22.460
 as a part

00:25:22.460 --> 00:25:23.740
 of the insurrection

00:25:23.740 --> 00:25:24.560
 so you can

00:25:24.560 --> 00:25:25.320
 understand why

00:25:25.320 --> 00:25:26.380
 some translators

00:25:26.380 --> 00:25:27.240
 translate this

00:25:27.240 --> 00:25:28.539
 word terrorist.

00:25:29.940 --> 00:25:30.740
 This is a bad

00:25:30.740 --> 00:25:31.340
 dude.

00:25:32.860 --> 00:25:33.720
 I think that

00:25:33.720 --> 00:25:34.480
 Pilate really

00:25:34.480 --> 00:25:35.220
 believes they're

00:25:35.220 --> 00:25:35.860
 going to pick

00:25:35.860 --> 00:25:37.039
 Jesus to be

00:25:37.039 --> 00:25:37.440
 released.

00:25:37.600 --> 00:25:38.720
 He's their king

00:25:38.720 --> 00:25:39.759
 after all.

00:25:39.820 --> 00:25:40.720
 He reminds them,

00:25:40.759 --> 00:25:40.960
 right?

00:25:41.320 --> 00:25:41.940
 He's trying to

00:25:41.940 --> 00:25:42.460
 help them out

00:25:42.460 --> 00:25:42.700
 here.

00:25:44.180 --> 00:25:44.900
 Pilate wanted

00:25:44.900 --> 00:25:45.740
 this innocent

00:25:45.740 --> 00:25:46.700
 man off his

00:25:46.700 --> 00:25:47.900
 hands and off

00:25:47.900 --> 00:25:48.680
 his conscience.

00:25:49.420 --> 00:25:52.880
 But remember

00:25:52.880 --> 00:25:53.519
 that even

00:25:53.519 --> 00:25:54.920
 religious people

00:25:54.920 --> 00:25:56.500
 at times

00:25:56.500 --> 00:25:57.460
 dispense with

00:25:57.460 --> 00:25:58.860
 Jesus so we

00:25:58.860 --> 00:25:59.740
 can relate to

00:25:59.740 --> 00:26:00.560
 God our own

00:26:00.560 --> 00:26:00.840
 way.

00:26:02.060 --> 00:26:03.240
 We do that.

00:26:04.060 --> 00:26:04.539
 Religiously

00:26:04.539 --> 00:26:05.980
 sometimes.

00:26:06.840 --> 00:26:07.880
 Or in this

00:26:07.880 --> 00:26:08.340
 case,

00:26:09.580 --> 00:26:10.160
 violently.

00:26:10.160 --> 00:26:13.660
 the choice of

00:26:13.660 --> 00:26:14.259
 Barabbas is

00:26:14.259 --> 00:26:15.820
 pretty clearly

00:26:15.820 --> 00:26:17.120
 not one for

00:26:17.120 --> 00:26:17.779
 truth and

00:26:17.779 --> 00:26:18.259
 godliness,

00:26:18.480 --> 00:26:18.800
 is it?

00:26:19.980 --> 00:26:21.160
 They're not

00:26:21.160 --> 00:26:21.840
 picking their

00:26:21.840 --> 00:26:22.360
 new chief

00:26:22.360 --> 00:26:22.840
 priest.

00:26:25.480 --> 00:26:26.440
 He was a

00:26:26.440 --> 00:26:26.800
 robber.

00:26:28.200 --> 00:26:28.540
 Choosing

00:26:28.540 --> 00:26:29.660
 Barabbas over

00:26:29.660 --> 00:26:30.620
 Jesus is a

00:26:30.620 --> 00:26:31.259
 choice for

00:26:31.259 --> 00:26:31.779
 power,

00:26:32.200 --> 00:26:32.920
 violence,

00:26:33.160 --> 00:26:34.040
 outrage,

00:26:34.039 --> 00:26:35.599
 rather than

00:26:35.599 --> 00:26:36.339
 suffering,

00:26:37.500 --> 00:26:37.960
 humility,

00:26:39.539 --> 00:26:40.319
 and sacrifice.

00:26:42.399 --> 00:26:44.099
 The people's

00:26:44.099 --> 00:26:45.159
 choice.

00:26:45.839 --> 00:26:46.700
 The crowds

00:26:46.700 --> 00:26:47.220
 have started

00:26:47.220 --> 00:26:47.799
 to gather.

00:26:48.420 --> 00:26:49.200
 What choice

00:26:49.200 --> 00:26:49.619
 are they going

00:26:49.619 --> 00:26:50.039
 to make?

00:26:50.500 --> 00:26:51.700
 Which one

00:26:51.700 --> 00:26:53.059
 is the real

00:26:53.059 --> 00:26:53.920
 king?

00:26:56.000 --> 00:26:56.859
 Not

00:26:56.859 --> 00:26:58.039
 Jesus,

00:26:58.039 --> 00:27:00.359
 but

00:27:00.359 --> 00:27:01.539
 Barabbas.

00:27:05.859 --> 00:27:06.559
 Now it

00:27:06.559 --> 00:27:06.759
 shouldn't

00:27:06.759 --> 00:27:07.240
 happen that

00:27:07.240 --> 00:27:07.599
 way with

00:27:07.599 --> 00:27:07.940
 God's

00:27:07.940 --> 00:27:08.259
 people,

00:27:08.420 --> 00:27:08.639
 right?

00:27:10.240 --> 00:27:11.079
 We should

00:27:11.079 --> 00:27:11.519
 know better.

00:27:11.779 --> 00:27:12.339
 We just

00:27:12.339 --> 00:27:13.279
 learned that

00:27:13.279 --> 00:27:13.960
 his kingdom

00:27:13.960 --> 00:27:14.819
 doesn't find

00:27:14.819 --> 00:27:15.440
 hope and

00:27:15.440 --> 00:27:17.000
 political power

00:27:17.000 --> 00:27:17.940
 and might

00:27:17.940 --> 00:27:19.000
 and fighting.

00:27:19.659 --> 00:27:20.500
 We sing

00:27:20.500 --> 00:27:21.460
 not with

00:27:21.460 --> 00:27:22.159
 swords loud

00:27:22.159 --> 00:27:23.019
 clashing or

00:27:23.019 --> 00:27:23.759
 roll of

00:27:23.759 --> 00:27:24.639
 stirring drums

00:27:24.639 --> 00:27:25.339
 but deeds

00:27:25.339 --> 00:27:26.059
 of love and

00:27:26.059 --> 00:27:26.519
 mercy,

00:27:26.859 --> 00:27:27.420
 the heavenly

00:27:27.420 --> 00:27:27.980
 kingdom.

00:27:28.039 --> 00:27:29.079
 comes.

00:27:30.579 --> 00:27:31.220
 But we

00:27:31.220 --> 00:27:31.639
 have this

00:27:31.639 --> 00:27:32.359
 tendency to

00:27:32.359 --> 00:27:32.819
 forget,

00:27:33.960 --> 00:27:34.440
 don't we?

00:27:35.700 --> 00:27:36.399
 Like Peter

00:27:36.399 --> 00:27:37.059
 did just a

00:27:37.059 --> 00:27:38.180
 few hours ago

00:27:38.180 --> 00:27:38.960
 when he

00:27:38.960 --> 00:27:39.379
 pulled his

00:27:39.379 --> 00:27:39.839
 sword out

00:27:39.839 --> 00:27:40.059
 in the

00:27:40.059 --> 00:27:40.379
 garden.

00:27:42.259 --> 00:27:43.220
 Like so

00:27:43.220 --> 00:27:43.740
 many who

00:27:43.740 --> 00:27:44.940
 fought bloody

00:27:44.940 --> 00:27:46.500
 crusades under

00:27:46.500 --> 00:27:47.379
 the banner

00:27:47.379 --> 00:27:48.339
 of the

00:27:48.339 --> 00:27:49.180
 cross.

00:27:50.740 --> 00:27:51.039
 Listen,

00:27:51.240 --> 00:27:52.039
 the teachings

00:27:52.039 --> 00:27:53.039
 of Islam

00:27:53.039 --> 00:27:54.240
 make sense

00:27:54.240 --> 00:27:55.500
 with protracted

00:27:55.500 --> 00:27:56.240
 religious

00:27:56.240 --> 00:27:57.159
 wars.

00:27:57.160 --> 00:27:58.340
 of the

00:27:58.340 --> 00:27:58.940
 teachings of

00:27:58.940 --> 00:27:59.180
 King

00:27:59.180 --> 00:27:59.640
 Jesus

00:27:59.640 --> 00:28:00.660
 do not.

00:28:02.360 --> 00:28:02.840
 And it's

00:28:02.840 --> 00:28:03.120
 as though

00:28:03.120 --> 00:28:04.180
 Jesus says

00:28:04.180 --> 00:28:05.060
 here so

00:28:05.060 --> 00:28:06.080
 powerfully,

00:28:06.400 --> 00:28:06.860
 if you want

00:28:06.860 --> 00:28:07.279
 to know

00:28:07.279 --> 00:28:08.000
 what my

00:28:08.000 --> 00:28:08.880
 kingdom is

00:28:08.880 --> 00:28:09.460
 like,

00:28:09.820 --> 00:28:10.279
 look how

00:28:10.279 --> 00:28:11.060
 my followers

00:28:11.060 --> 00:28:11.759
 act.

00:28:11.759 --> 00:28:12.619
 it will be

00:28:12.619 --> 00:28:13.359
 the proof

00:28:13.359 --> 00:28:13.960
 that my

00:28:13.960 --> 00:28:14.440
 kingdom is

00:28:14.440 --> 00:28:14.819
 not of

00:28:14.819 --> 00:28:15.779
 this world.

00:28:17.720 --> 00:28:20.220
 Can we

00:28:20.220 --> 00:28:20.700
 be honest

00:28:20.700 --> 00:28:21.379
 with ourselves

00:28:21.379 --> 00:28:21.940
 this morning?

00:28:24.000 --> 00:28:25.039
 What do we

00:28:25.039 --> 00:28:26.039
 tend to think

00:28:26.039 --> 00:28:26.799
 will advance

00:28:26.799 --> 00:28:27.220
 Jesus'

00:28:27.559 --> 00:28:27.980
 kingdom

00:28:27.980 --> 00:28:29.619
 most effectively?

00:28:30.500 --> 00:28:31.220
 Strength

00:28:31.220 --> 00:28:32.720
 or weakness?

00:28:34.500 --> 00:28:35.180
 Promotion

00:28:35.180 --> 00:28:36.039
 of self

00:28:36.039 --> 00:28:37.860
 or protection

00:28:37.860 --> 00:28:38.539
 of others?

00:28:39.720 --> 00:28:40.339
 Truth

00:28:40.339 --> 00:28:42.839
 or expediency?

00:28:42.839 --> 00:28:42.980
 See?

00:28:42.980 --> 00:28:47.680
 we love

00:28:47.680 --> 00:28:48.759
 power,

00:28:49.039 --> 00:28:49.500
 don't we?

00:28:51.240 --> 00:28:53.000
 I love

00:28:53.000 --> 00:28:53.940
 winning.

00:28:55.000 --> 00:28:55.920
 Don't you?

00:28:58.440 --> 00:28:59.019
 Isn't it

00:28:59.019 --> 00:28:59.980
 tempting to

00:28:59.980 --> 00:29:01.120
 think might

00:29:01.120 --> 00:29:02.180
 makes right?

00:29:02.940 --> 00:29:03.200
 It just

00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:03.980
 feels right.

00:29:03.980 --> 00:29:04.500
 right.

00:29:07.500 --> 00:29:08.180
 In

00:29:08.180 --> 00:29:08.799
 contrast to

00:29:08.799 --> 00:29:09.240
 that line

00:29:09.240 --> 00:29:09.799
 of thinking

00:29:09.799 --> 00:29:10.259
 Dietrich

00:29:10.259 --> 00:29:11.039
 Bonhoeffer,

00:29:11.620 --> 00:29:12.400
 pastor in

00:29:12.400 --> 00:29:13.140
 Germany last

00:29:13.140 --> 00:29:13.660
 century,

00:29:14.240 --> 00:29:14.460
 said,

00:29:14.579 --> 00:29:15.140
 Christendom

00:29:15.140 --> 00:29:16.140
 adjusts itself

00:29:16.140 --> 00:29:16.720
 far too

00:29:16.720 --> 00:29:17.339
 easily to

00:29:17.339 --> 00:29:17.799
 the worship

00:29:17.799 --> 00:29:18.640
 of power.

00:29:19.779 --> 00:29:20.120
 Christians

00:29:20.120 --> 00:29:20.720
 should give

00:29:20.720 --> 00:29:21.620
 more offense,

00:29:21.940 --> 00:29:22.500
 shock the

00:29:22.500 --> 00:29:23.339
 world far

00:29:23.339 --> 00:29:23.799
 more than

00:29:23.799 --> 00:29:24.059
 they are

00:29:24.059 --> 00:29:24.700
 doing now.

00:29:25.019 --> 00:29:25.339
 Christians

00:29:25.339 --> 00:29:25.819
 should take

00:29:25.819 --> 00:29:26.299
 a stronger

00:29:26.299 --> 00:29:26.940
 stand in

00:29:26.940 --> 00:29:27.400
 favor of

00:29:27.400 --> 00:29:27.779
 the weak

00:29:27.779 --> 00:29:28.500
 rather than

00:29:28.500 --> 00:29:28.940
 considering

00:29:28.940 --> 00:29:29.660
 first the

00:29:29.660 --> 00:29:30.460
 possible right

00:29:30.460 --> 00:29:31.019
 of the

00:29:31.019 --> 00:29:31.620
 strong.

00:29:32.079 --> 00:29:32.519
 That's a

00:29:32.519 --> 00:29:33.360
 good challenge.

00:29:33.980 --> 00:29:35.240
 where do we

00:29:35.240 --> 00:29:36.079
 fall prey to

00:29:36.079 --> 00:29:36.940
 the ease of

00:29:36.940 --> 00:29:37.620
 aligning with

00:29:37.620 --> 00:29:38.299
 power?

00:29:39.420 --> 00:29:40.000
 Where do we

00:29:40.000 --> 00:29:40.640
 think God's

00:29:40.640 --> 00:29:41.279
 kingdom will

00:29:41.279 --> 00:29:42.599
 advance if we

00:29:42.599 --> 00:29:43.360
 just back the

00:29:43.360 --> 00:29:44.220
 right horse,

00:29:44.360 --> 00:29:44.579
 right?

00:29:44.700 --> 00:29:45.420
 The one with

00:29:45.420 --> 00:29:45.960
 the physical

00:29:45.960 --> 00:29:47.059
 strength, the

00:29:47.059 --> 00:29:47.420
 worldly

00:29:47.420 --> 00:29:48.440
 resources to

00:29:48.440 --> 00:29:49.420
 rival Rome,

00:29:49.539 --> 00:29:50.059
 we're going to

00:29:50.059 --> 00:29:50.579
 get them with

00:29:50.579 --> 00:29:51.339
 the right guy?

00:29:52.620 --> 00:29:53.299
 Where do we

00:29:53.299 --> 00:29:54.039
 try to advance

00:29:54.039 --> 00:29:54.880
 the cause of

00:29:54.880 --> 00:29:56.900
 Christ with

00:29:56.900 --> 00:29:57.779
 the weapons of

00:29:57.779 --> 00:29:58.420
 this world?

00:30:02.140 --> 00:30:02.660
 Do you

00:30:02.660 --> 00:30:02.940
 remember when

00:30:02.940 --> 00:30:03.400
 God's people

00:30:03.400 --> 00:30:03.940
 wanted a king

00:30:03.940 --> 00:30:04.320
 the first

00:30:04.320 --> 00:30:04.640
 time?

00:30:05.140 --> 00:30:05.559
 What was

00:30:05.559 --> 00:30:07.160
 so important

00:30:07.160 --> 00:30:07.880
 to them?

00:30:08.320 --> 00:30:08.640
 What were

00:30:08.640 --> 00:30:09.420
 like things

00:30:09.420 --> 00:30:09.940
 at the top

00:30:09.940 --> 00:30:10.180
 of their

00:30:10.180 --> 00:30:10.620
 list?

00:30:11.299 --> 00:30:11.799
 They wanted

00:30:11.799 --> 00:30:12.220
 a guy who

00:30:12.220 --> 00:30:12.680
 looked the

00:30:12.680 --> 00:30:13.160
 part, didn't

00:30:13.160 --> 00:30:13.380
 they?

00:30:14.180 --> 00:30:14.759
 And Saul

00:30:14.759 --> 00:30:15.539
 was handsome

00:30:15.539 --> 00:30:16.380
 and he was

00:30:16.380 --> 00:30:17.160
 a head taller

00:30:17.160 --> 00:30:17.779
 than the rest

00:30:17.779 --> 00:30:18.100
 of them.

00:30:19.400 --> 00:30:20.140
 They wanted

00:30:20.140 --> 00:30:20.820
 a guy who

00:30:20.820 --> 00:30:21.660
 would stand

00:30:21.660 --> 00:30:23.100
 tough against

00:30:23.100 --> 00:30:24.240
 the Philistines

00:30:24.240 --> 00:30:25.920
 and Saul

00:30:25.920 --> 00:30:27.019
 was a mighty

00:30:27.019 --> 00:30:27.580
 warrior.

00:30:30.200 --> 00:30:31.100
 Until he

00:30:31.100 --> 00:30:31.539
 ended up

00:30:31.539 --> 00:30:32.339
 cowering

00:30:32.339 --> 00:30:32.339


00:30:32.339 --> 00:30:32.859
 before

00:30:32.859 --> 00:30:34.440
 Goliath,

00:30:35.039 --> 00:30:35.440
 passing

00:30:35.440 --> 00:30:36.759
 his kingly

00:30:36.759 --> 00:30:37.539
 armor to

00:30:37.539 --> 00:30:38.039
 a much

00:30:38.039 --> 00:30:38.740
 smaller,

00:30:39.119 --> 00:30:39.319
 less

00:30:39.319 --> 00:30:40.220
 experienced

00:30:40.220 --> 00:30:41.500
 young man,

00:30:42.119 --> 00:30:42.460
 David,

00:30:42.920 --> 00:30:44.159
 whose only

00:30:44.159 --> 00:30:45.079
 qualification

00:30:45.079 --> 00:30:47.019
 was that he

00:30:47.019 --> 00:30:47.960
 trusted God.

00:30:49.619 --> 00:30:50.399
 God saw

00:30:50.399 --> 00:30:50.960
 his heart.

00:30:52.460 --> 00:30:52.859
 David's

00:30:52.859 --> 00:30:53.359
 performance

00:30:53.359 --> 00:30:54.359
 was far

00:30:54.359 --> 00:30:55.159
 from perfect.

00:30:55.160 --> 00:30:57.480
 but while

00:30:57.480 --> 00:30:57.900
 man looked

00:30:57.900 --> 00:30:58.140
 at the

00:30:58.140 --> 00:30:58.400
 outward

00:30:58.400 --> 00:30:59.000
 appearance,

00:30:59.200 --> 00:30:59.540
 God

00:30:59.540 --> 00:31:00.440
 looked at

00:31:00.440 --> 00:31:00.980
 the heart

00:31:00.980 --> 00:31:02.680
 and saw

00:31:02.680 --> 00:31:03.140
 a king

00:31:03.140 --> 00:31:03.480
 who would

00:31:03.480 --> 00:31:03.980
 in battle

00:31:03.980 --> 00:31:04.920
 and even

00:31:04.920 --> 00:31:05.740
 in repentance

00:31:05.740 --> 00:31:07.700
 lead

00:31:07.700 --> 00:31:08.640
 God's

00:31:08.640 --> 00:31:08.980
 people

00:31:08.980 --> 00:31:10.759
 after God.

00:31:14.080 --> 00:31:14.920
 And here

00:31:14.920 --> 00:31:15.500
 they have

00:31:15.500 --> 00:31:16.180
 another

00:31:16.180 --> 00:31:17.500
 such king.

00:31:19.060 --> 00:31:20.040
 He's so

00:31:20.040 --> 00:31:21.320
 different,

00:31:21.720 --> 00:31:22.360
 isn't he?

00:31:23.080 --> 00:31:23.660
 It's almost

00:31:23.660 --> 00:31:24.140
 hard to

00:31:24.140 --> 00:31:24.720
 recognize.

00:31:24.840 --> 00:31:25.080
 Could that

00:31:25.080 --> 00:31:26.240
 be the

00:31:26.240 --> 00:31:26.580
 king?

00:31:27.800 --> 00:31:28.380
 He's not

00:31:28.380 --> 00:31:28.800
 desperate

00:31:28.800 --> 00:31:29.540
 for power

00:31:29.540 --> 00:31:30.240
 and he's

00:31:30.240 --> 00:31:30.840
 not afraid

00:31:30.840 --> 00:31:31.240
 of those

00:31:31.240 --> 00:31:31.860
 wielding it

00:31:31.860 --> 00:31:32.160
 either.

00:31:33.640 --> 00:31:34.460
 He's not

00:31:34.460 --> 00:31:34.920
 promoting

00:31:34.920 --> 00:31:35.680
 himself but

00:31:35.680 --> 00:31:36.160
 he keeps

00:31:36.160 --> 00:31:36.520
 promoting

00:31:36.520 --> 00:31:37.140
 others.

00:31:38.720 --> 00:31:39.580
 He's not

00:31:39.580 --> 00:31:40.000
 concerned

00:31:40.000 --> 00:31:40.780
 primarily with

00:31:40.780 --> 00:31:41.240
 outward

00:31:41.240 --> 00:31:41.940
 appearance but

00:31:41.940 --> 00:31:43.000
 he is very

00:31:43.000 --> 00:31:43.920
 concerned with

00:31:43.920 --> 00:31:44.660
 the heart.

00:31:46.220 --> 00:31:46.840
 Could this

00:31:46.840 --> 00:31:47.640
 be the real

00:31:47.640 --> 00:31:48.080
 king?

00:31:48.480 --> 00:31:49.580
 If we cut

00:31:49.580 --> 00:31:50.400
 into him,

00:31:50.560 --> 00:31:51.340
 if we cut

00:31:51.340 --> 00:31:51.800
 him open,

00:31:51.880 --> 00:31:52.200
 what's he

00:31:52.200 --> 00:31:52.820
 made of?

00:31:54.140 --> 00:31:56.320
 what we

00:31:56.320 --> 00:31:56.980
 find is a

00:31:56.980 --> 00:31:57.460
 heart not

00:31:57.460 --> 00:31:58.160
 for self

00:31:58.160 --> 00:31:59.480
 but for

00:31:59.480 --> 00:32:00.300
 God and

00:32:00.300 --> 00:32:01.020
 his people.

00:32:03.700 --> 00:32:04.420
 Probably the

00:32:04.420 --> 00:32:05.040
 most unusual

00:32:05.040 --> 00:32:06.860
 thing about

00:32:06.860 --> 00:32:07.480
 this king

00:32:07.480 --> 00:32:07.840
 Jesus,

00:32:08.500 --> 00:32:09.400
 he is not

00:32:09.400 --> 00:32:10.540
 here first

00:32:10.540 --> 00:32:11.200
 and foremost

00:32:11.200 --> 00:32:11.920
 to boss you

00:32:11.920 --> 00:32:12.340
 around.

00:32:12.740 --> 00:32:13.300
 If that's

00:32:13.300 --> 00:32:13.660
 what you've

00:32:13.660 --> 00:32:13.840
 heard,

00:32:14.000 --> 00:32:15.400
 it's not the

00:32:15.400 --> 00:32:15.860
 Jesus you

00:32:15.860 --> 00:32:16.259
 read about

00:32:16.259 --> 00:32:16.540
 here.

00:32:17.780 --> 00:32:18.660
 Nor is he

00:32:18.660 --> 00:32:19.060
 here to

00:32:19.060 --> 00:32:20.259
 catch you

00:32:20.259 --> 00:32:20.820
 letting him

00:32:20.820 --> 00:32:21.340
 down and

00:32:21.340 --> 00:32:22.140
 abandoning your

00:32:22.140 --> 00:32:22.740
 post.

00:32:23.700 --> 00:32:24.380
 Nor is he

00:32:24.380 --> 00:32:24.660
 here to

00:32:24.660 --> 00:32:25.040
 check your

00:32:25.040 --> 00:32:25.600
 resume to

00:32:25.600 --> 00:32:25.860
 see if

00:32:25.860 --> 00:32:26.180
 you're worth

00:32:26.180 --> 00:32:26.560
 keeping

00:32:26.560 --> 00:32:27.140
 around.

00:32:28.840 --> 00:32:29.340
 It's what

00:32:29.340 --> 00:32:29.840
 the kings

00:32:29.840 --> 00:32:30.280
 of this

00:32:30.280 --> 00:32:31.640
 world do.

00:32:34.160 --> 00:32:35.060
 They demand

00:32:35.060 --> 00:32:35.460
 that their

00:32:35.460 --> 00:32:36.300
 subjects give

00:32:36.300 --> 00:32:37.120
 their lives

00:32:37.120 --> 00:32:38.800
 to protect

00:32:38.800 --> 00:32:39.340
 their king.

00:32:41.420 --> 00:32:42.400
 This king

00:32:42.400 --> 00:32:43.920
 gives his

00:32:43.920 --> 00:32:45.520
 life to

00:32:45.520 --> 00:32:46.160
 protect his

00:32:46.160 --> 00:32:46.600
 subjects.

00:32:47.800 --> 00:32:48.460
 He's going

00:32:48.460 --> 00:32:48.980
 to the

00:32:48.980 --> 00:32:50.980
 cross in

00:32:50.980 --> 00:32:52.140
 place of

00:32:52.140 --> 00:32:53.279
 Barabbas.

00:32:54.680 --> 00:32:55.579
 In place

00:32:55.579 --> 00:32:56.640
 of all

00:32:56.640 --> 00:32:57.319
 God's

00:32:57.319 --> 00:32:57.900
 people.

00:32:58.500 --> 00:32:58.940
 In place

00:32:58.940 --> 00:32:59.640
 of you.

00:33:01.380 --> 00:33:01.779
 In place

00:33:01.779 --> 00:33:02.240
 of me.

00:33:03.059 --> 00:33:03.740
 That's the

00:33:03.740 --> 00:33:06.299
 choice that

00:33:06.299 --> 00:33:06.779
 this king

00:33:06.779 --> 00:33:07.240
 makes.

00:33:07.480 --> 00:33:08.500
 We watch

00:33:08.500 --> 00:33:08.920
 him make

00:33:08.920 --> 00:33:09.420
 that choice.

00:33:09.840 --> 00:33:10.120
 He's got

00:33:10.120 --> 00:33:11.100
 two kinds

00:33:11.100 --> 00:33:12.220
 of kings

00:33:12.220 --> 00:33:12.740
 he could be.

00:33:13.019 --> 00:33:13.740
 There's two

00:33:13.740 --> 00:33:14.460
 kinds of

00:33:14.460 --> 00:33:15.160
 kingdoms he

00:33:15.160 --> 00:33:15.559
 could rule

00:33:15.559 --> 00:33:15.740
 over.

00:33:15.900 --> 00:33:16.500
 There's two

00:33:16.500 --> 00:33:17.000
 ways to

00:33:17.000 --> 00:33:18.140
 power for

00:33:18.140 --> 00:33:18.539
 him.

00:33:19.180 --> 00:33:19.599
 And the

00:33:19.599 --> 00:33:20.319
 choice that

00:33:20.319 --> 00:33:21.299
 king Jesus

00:33:21.299 --> 00:33:22.240
 makes is

00:33:22.240 --> 00:33:22.740
 not to

00:33:22.740 --> 00:33:23.299
 hold on

00:33:23.299 --> 00:33:24.440
 tightly to

00:33:24.440 --> 00:33:25.440
 power and

00:33:25.440 --> 00:33:26.140
 glory while

00:33:26.140 --> 00:33:26.660
 you might

00:33:26.660 --> 00:33:27.660
 slip away

00:33:27.660 --> 00:33:28.420
 out of his

00:33:28.420 --> 00:33:28.759
 hand.

00:33:28.880 --> 00:33:29.059
 No.

00:33:30.119 --> 00:33:30.880
 He makes

00:33:30.880 --> 00:33:31.740
 the choice

00:33:31.740 --> 00:33:33.299
 to let go

00:33:33.299 --> 00:33:34.700
 of power

00:33:34.700 --> 00:33:35.900
 and glory

00:33:35.900 --> 00:33:36.799
 to come

00:33:36.799 --> 00:33:38.180
 and grasp

00:33:38.180 --> 00:33:39.119
 tightly

00:33:39.119 --> 00:33:40.380
 onto you

00:33:40.380 --> 00:33:41.740
 and never

00:33:41.740 --> 00:33:43.000
 let you

00:33:43.000 --> 00:33:43.720
 go.

00:33:43.980 --> 00:33:44.500
 That's your

00:33:44.500 --> 00:33:45.200
 king.

00:33:46.500 --> 00:33:47.359
 Even as

00:33:47.359 --> 00:33:47.940
 the crowds

00:33:47.940 --> 00:33:48.420
 shout

00:33:48.420 --> 00:33:49.900
 for the

00:33:49.900 --> 00:33:50.539
 release of

00:33:50.539 --> 00:33:51.259

00:35:35.959 --> 00:35:36.159
 you're

00:35:36.159 --> 00:35:36.459

 you're

00:35:44.500 --> 00:35:44.779
 holding

00:35:44.779 --> 00:35:45.199
 on to

00:35:45.199 --> 00:35:45.579
 something

00:35:45.579 --> 00:35:45.939
 that

00:35:45.939 --> 00:35:46.599
 the

00:35:50.939 --> 00:35:51.619
 anyway

00:35:51.619 --> 00:35:52.559

 you

00:35:52.859 --> 00:35:53.059
 don't

00:35:53.639 --> 00:35:53.959
 go

00:35:53.959 --> 00:35:56.119
 maybe

00:35:56.119 --> 00:35:56.939
 you

00:35:56.939 --> 00:35:57.319
 have

00:35:57.319 --> 00:35:58.579
 thought

 you

00:35:58.759 --> 00:35:59.039

00:35:59.239 --> 00:35:59.599
 idea

00:35:59.599 --> 00:35:59.800
 of

00:35:59.800 --> 00:36:00.079
 Jesus

00:36:00.079 --> 00:36:00.420
 but

00:36:03.460 --> 00:36:03.719
 so

00:36:03.719 --> 00:36:04.480
 distasteful

 be

00:36:06.900 --> 00:36:07.579
 associated

00:36:07.579 --> 00:36:08.179

00:36:12.579 --> 00:36:12.719
 the

00:36:12.719 --> 00:36:12.940
 case

00:36:12.940 --> 00:36:13.139
 for
