00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.220
 kind of riffing off of something that Rick mentioned about New Year's resolutions.

00:00:09.220 --> 00:00:14.019
 I know not everybody makes New Year's resolutions in our house.

00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:16.920
 We call them turning over new leaves.

00:00:17.820 --> 00:00:29.019
 And I am regularly mocked in my house for the amount of new leaves that I tend to turn over during the year.

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:35.240
 And they usually have to do with eating, exercising, other things of that nature.

00:00:37.619 --> 00:00:44.960
 This morning, this first Sunday of 2018, I don't know if you've made New Year's resolutions.

00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:46.960
 I don't know if you've turned over new leaves.

00:00:48.140 --> 00:00:51.659
 But I want to call you to make a resolution.

00:00:54.179 --> 00:00:56.060
 It's not to get physically fit.

00:00:56.060 --> 00:00:59.260
 It's not to get financially healthy.

00:01:00.580 --> 00:01:06.680
 It's not to get vocationally positioned to grow in your time management or get right with other people.

00:01:06.760 --> 00:01:07.879
 Those are all good things.

00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:13.459
 But what I want to call you to do this morning is the thing of most importance.

00:01:14.659 --> 00:01:18.899
 It's what God in His Word says this is of first importance.

00:01:20.199 --> 00:01:23.399
 And I want to call you to make a resolution in light of that.

00:01:24.459 --> 00:01:27.620
 And to line your life up with it.

00:01:27.620 --> 00:01:32.800
 This past December, we took a break from the Gospel of Matthew.

00:01:32.939 --> 00:01:37.760
 And we spent the bulk of our Sunday mornings preaching on the incarnation of Jesus Christ.

00:01:38.180 --> 00:01:41.700
 God became a man and dwelt among us.

00:01:41.700 --> 00:01:47.500
 And this morning, we get back into the study of the Gospel of Matthew.

00:01:47.500 --> 00:01:50.939
 And we get back in in Matthew chapter 26.

00:01:52.219 --> 00:01:54.780
 And what you need to know about Matthew 26 is,

00:01:55.340 --> 00:01:58.659
 it's the beginning of the passion of the Christ.

00:01:58.659 --> 00:02:05.319
 And when we talk about the passion of the King, the passion of Jesus,

00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:11.780
 we're talking about His suffering and His death that eventually leads to His resurrection.

00:02:12.939 --> 00:02:19.180
 What you need to know about the passion of Jesus Christ is that it's at the heart of the Gospel.

00:02:19.180 --> 00:02:28.879
 The heart of the Gospel is Jesus Christ making a sacrificial death on behalf of sinners.

00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:31.900
 Another way to talk about it is,

00:02:32.300 --> 00:02:34.860
 if Christ had not been crucified,

00:02:35.340 --> 00:02:38.740
 there would be no good news of salvation for anybody.

00:02:40.379 --> 00:02:41.900
 Everything rides on it.

00:02:43.460 --> 00:02:47.159
 And so this morning, I want to call you to make a life resolution.

00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:49.740
 Not just a year resolution,

00:02:50.579 --> 00:02:52.520
 but for the rest of your lives.

00:02:52.900 --> 00:02:56.919
 We never outgrow the need to be reminded of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

00:02:57.319 --> 00:03:01.519
 We never outgrow the need to be reminded of what He did for us.

00:03:03.439 --> 00:03:10.300
 So it's good and right to start this new year focusing our Sunday mornings on the passion of the King.

00:03:10.939 --> 00:03:12.879
 His suffering and His death,

00:03:13.539 --> 00:03:15.719
 and eventually His resurrection.

00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:20.099
 And this morning, what I want you to see is that the sacrifice Jesus makes

00:03:20.099 --> 00:03:22.300
 is the greatest sacrifice,

00:03:22.659 --> 00:03:26.740
 resulting in the greatest deliverance for the greatest number of people.

00:03:28.900 --> 00:03:31.560
 And we're going to be looking specifically at a moment

00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:35.680
 where He's prepared for burial.

00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:39.760
 We're going to see an unnamed woman

00:03:39.760 --> 00:03:47.159
 lining up her life with the redemptive purposes of her King.

00:03:48.740 --> 00:03:50.040
 And though unnamed,

00:03:50.780 --> 00:03:52.280
 she is memorialized forever.

00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:58.939
 So this morning, I want to walk us through Matthew chapter 26.

00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:00.719
 We're going to walk through 19 verses.

00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:05.520
 Verse 1 through 19, there are five sections in this passage.

00:04:05.819 --> 00:04:07.920
 I'm going to walk you through each passage,

00:04:08.140 --> 00:04:10.240
 and I'm going to show you how they relate to one another.

00:04:10.539 --> 00:04:12.199
 And after we do that, I'm going to say,

00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:13.479
 here's what it's all saying,

00:04:13.659 --> 00:04:15.319
 and then we're going to apply it to our lives.

00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:19.420
 So let's walk through this account.

00:04:20.519 --> 00:04:24.639
 It starts in Matthew 26, verses 1 through 1 and 2,

00:04:25.339 --> 00:04:27.899
 in Jesus' final passion prediction.

00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:30.219
 Listen to what Matthew writes.

00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:32.100
 When Jesus had finished all these things,

00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:33.719
 He said to His disciples,

00:04:34.339 --> 00:04:36.819
 You know that after two days the Passover is coming,

00:04:36.980 --> 00:04:40.620
 and the Son of Man will be delivered up to be crucified.

00:04:40.620 --> 00:04:43.480
 When Matthew writes,

00:04:43.660 --> 00:04:45.259
 when Jesus had finished all these things,

00:04:45.660 --> 00:04:48.920
 He's referring to immediately what He's just got done talking about,

00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:50.199
 the Olivet Discourse,

00:04:50.300 --> 00:04:51.660
 Matthew 24 and 25,

00:04:51.840 --> 00:04:53.519
 when Jesus is talking about the end times,

00:04:53.660 --> 00:04:54.300
 final judgment.

00:04:55.319 --> 00:04:59.199
 But He's talking about also all of Jesus' public ministry.

00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:01.259
 It has come to an end.

00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:02.300
 From here on out,

00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:03.699
 when Jesus speaks,

00:05:03.780 --> 00:05:05.560
 it's going to be more in a private context.

00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:12.120
 But this is the fourth and final passion prediction that Jesus makes.

00:05:13.100 --> 00:05:15.860
 Predictions of His suffering and of His death.

00:05:16.339 --> 00:05:19.060
 And I just, in order to get you ready,

00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:21.860
 I want you to bring you back to the first passion prediction.

00:05:22.319 --> 00:05:24.040
 It's in Matthew chapter 16.

00:05:25.180 --> 00:05:29.139
 Peter has just confessed Jesus as the Christ,

00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:33.340
 and then Matthew goes on and tells us what Jesus does in light of that.

00:05:33.339 --> 00:05:34.679
 In verse 21,

00:05:35.060 --> 00:05:35.659
 from that time,

00:05:35.759 --> 00:05:40.119
 Jesus began to show His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem

00:05:40.119 --> 00:05:45.060
 and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes,

00:05:45.219 --> 00:05:46.299
 and be killed,

00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:47.539
 and on the third day,

00:05:47.819 --> 00:05:48.399
 be raised.

00:05:49.259 --> 00:05:51.079
 So back in Matthew 16,

00:05:51.459 --> 00:05:52.919
 Jesus starts telling His disciples,

00:05:53.359 --> 00:05:54.219
 I'm going to Jerusalem.

00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:55.839
 I'm going to suffer, die, and be raised.

00:05:56.639 --> 00:06:00.559
 If you flip over to Matthew chapter 17,

00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:03.540
 we have the second passion prediction.

00:06:04.060 --> 00:06:06.500
 It's in verses 22 and 23.

00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:08.439
 And they were gathering in Galilee.

00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:09.720
 They're still up north.

00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:11.079
 Jesus said to them,

00:06:11.300 --> 00:06:12.360
 The Son of Man.

00:06:12.899 --> 00:06:15.199
 That's Jesus' favorite title of Himself.

00:06:15.420 --> 00:06:16.259
 It's messianic.

00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:17.259
 It's Christological.

00:06:17.779 --> 00:06:19.759
 It refers back to Daniel chapter 7,

00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:25.060
 when God gives this Son of Man the kingdom forever.

00:06:25.060 --> 00:06:28.180
 As they were gathering in Galilee,

00:06:28.300 --> 00:06:28.980
 Jesus said to them,

00:06:29.139 --> 00:06:31.620
 The Son of Man is about to be delivered into the hands of men,

00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:33.019
 and they will kill Him,

00:06:33.259 --> 00:06:35.280
 and He will be raised on the third day.

00:06:35.500 --> 00:06:36.720
 And they were greatly distressed.

00:06:37.899 --> 00:06:40.480
 If you flip over to Matthew chapter 20,

00:06:40.699 --> 00:06:43.060
 verses 17 and 19,

00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:45.300
 we have the third passion prediction.

00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:47.319
 And as Jesus was going up to Jerusalem,

00:06:47.660 --> 00:06:49.560
 He took the 12 disciples aside,

00:06:49.660 --> 00:06:50.439
 and on the way,

00:06:50.519 --> 00:06:51.160
 He said to them,

00:06:51.300 --> 00:06:51.540
 See,

00:06:51.540 --> 00:06:53.439
 we are going up to Jerusalem,

00:06:53.760 --> 00:06:58.000
 and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and scribes.

00:06:58.319 --> 00:06:59.260
 He's going to be betrayed.

00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:02.200
 And they will condemn Him to death,

00:07:02.300 --> 00:07:04.160
 and deliver Him over to the Gentiles,

00:07:04.220 --> 00:07:06.040
 to be mocked, and flogged, and crucified.

00:07:06.580 --> 00:07:10.300
 This is the first time Jesus tells what kind of death He's going to die,

00:07:10.640 --> 00:07:12.080
 by Roman crucifixion.

00:07:12.700 --> 00:07:14.580
 And He will be raised on the third day.

00:07:16.620 --> 00:07:19.000
 And then that leads us to Matthew 26,

00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:20.279
 verse 2,

00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:21.759
 where here Jesus is saying,

00:07:21.959 --> 00:07:23.240
 for the fourth and final time,

00:07:23.819 --> 00:07:25.040
 You know that after two days,

00:07:25.139 --> 00:07:26.240
 the Passover is coming,

00:07:26.379 --> 00:07:28.180
 and the Son of Man will be delivered up,

00:07:28.459 --> 00:07:29.420
 to be crucified.

00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:35.319
 There's something unique about this passion prediction.

00:07:36.660 --> 00:07:38.240
 Did you notice the word Passover?

00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:42.519
 You know after two days,

00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:43.699
 the Passover is coming.

00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:45.779
 Here's what Jesus is doing.

00:07:45.779 --> 00:07:49.259
 He is making a connection between His death,

00:07:49.699 --> 00:07:50.699
 and the Passover.

00:07:51.599 --> 00:07:53.799
 He wants you to know that.

00:07:54.479 --> 00:07:58.059
 God wants you to think about Christ's death,

00:07:58.299 --> 00:07:59.039
 a certain way.

00:08:02.339 --> 00:08:04.559
 It's going to be a Roman crucifixion,

00:08:04.559 --> 00:08:07.019
 on the Jewish Passover.

00:08:07.719 --> 00:08:09.399
 That will be how He dies.

00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:11.759
 The Son of Man,

00:08:12.259 --> 00:08:13.019
 the Christ,

00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:15.060
 will die by crucifixion.

00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:16.979
 Now,

00:08:17.139 --> 00:08:19.659
 I don't want to assume you know what Passover is.

00:08:20.339 --> 00:08:23.120
 So let me just give you a little crash course in it.

00:08:23.319 --> 00:08:23.459
 Now,

00:08:23.759 --> 00:08:26.719
 Passover was one of three annual feasts

00:08:26.719 --> 00:08:29.839
 Jews would make a journey to go to Jerusalem to observe.

00:08:30.679 --> 00:08:34.379
 And Passover was a feast that spanned over eight days.

00:08:34.379 --> 00:08:35.559
 It started with Passover

00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:37.519
 and included the Feast of Unleavened Bread.

00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:40.820
 And one scholar estimates

00:08:40.820 --> 00:08:43.159
 that Jerusalem's normal population

00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:44.980
 would have been about 30,000 people

00:08:44.980 --> 00:08:47.480
 at kind of normal city life.

00:08:47.720 --> 00:08:49.799
 But when Passover came,

00:08:50.259 --> 00:08:53.139
 the city would swell to 180,000 people.

00:08:53.600 --> 00:08:56.279
 So six times the normal amount of people there.

00:08:57.379 --> 00:09:00.399
 Jews had to observe Passover in Jerusalem

00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:02.480
 because the temple was there.

00:09:03.179 --> 00:09:04.500
 And the temple was there.

00:09:04.559 --> 00:09:05.519
 And what would happen there

00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:07.039
 was they would sacrifice

00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:11.480
 these male, unblemished lambs at the altar.

00:09:12.579 --> 00:09:13.620
 Blood was shed.

00:09:15.579 --> 00:09:16.019
 Now,

00:09:16.259 --> 00:09:18.720
 I don't know how your mind works,

00:09:18.819 --> 00:09:21.600
 but when I think about 180,000 people

00:09:21.600 --> 00:09:23.679
 in a city that's normally 30,000

00:09:23.679 --> 00:09:25.980
 celebrating or observing

00:09:25.980 --> 00:09:28.199
 a ritual like Passover,

00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:29.220
 I start asking,

00:09:29.220 --> 00:09:30.720
 well, how many lambs are involved?

00:09:31.980 --> 00:09:32.580
 How many?

00:09:32.740 --> 00:09:33.279
 And so like,

00:09:33.620 --> 00:09:35.259
 if we just kind of include like

00:09:35.259 --> 00:09:37.200
 10 people to a family unit

00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:39.720
 and we divide that by 180,

00:09:40.300 --> 00:09:43.060
 I mean, we're talking 18,000 lambs per family.

00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:44.639
 Not per family, but all together.

00:09:45.080 --> 00:09:46.519
 Even if you just slice that in half,

00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:47.879
 9,000 lambs,

00:09:47.940 --> 00:09:49.680
 that's a lot of lambs in the city.

00:09:51.800 --> 00:09:53.060
 And that's a lot of blood.

00:09:53.059 --> 00:10:00.039
 Passover was a feast memorializing God's deliverance

00:10:00.599 --> 00:10:03.119
 of his people from captivity to Egypt.

00:10:03.659 --> 00:10:05.839
 And we see that in Exodus chapter 12.

00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:07.599
 Remember Moses saying to Pharaoh,

00:10:07.899 --> 00:10:09.119
 let my people go.

00:10:11.599 --> 00:10:14.419
 Israel had been enslaved by Egypt.

00:10:14.419 --> 00:10:17.519
 And God heard their prayers.

00:10:17.639 --> 00:10:19.219
 He raised up Moses and says,

00:10:19.319 --> 00:10:21.360
 Moses, you go tell Pharaoh to let my people go.

00:10:21.459 --> 00:10:22.759
 And so Moses goes.

00:10:25.919 --> 00:10:27.139
 And Pharaoh wouldn't listen.

00:10:27.259 --> 00:10:28.879
 So God starts bringing plagues

00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:31.419
 after plagues after plagues.

00:10:32.079 --> 00:10:33.079
 And every time,

00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:33.979
 Moses is saying,

00:10:34.079 --> 00:10:34.959
 let my people go.

00:10:35.059 --> 00:10:36.379
 And Pharaoh would resist.

00:10:37.500 --> 00:10:39.339
 The plagues would get worse.

00:10:39.340 --> 00:10:40.600
 And eventually,

00:10:40.759 --> 00:10:41.700
 the plagues climax

00:10:41.700 --> 00:10:43.460
 in the tenth and final plague

00:10:43.460 --> 00:10:45.519
 in which God vows to send

00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:46.960
 the angel of death,

00:10:47.139 --> 00:10:48.000
 the destroyer,

00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:49.460
 to take the life

00:10:49.460 --> 00:10:53.580
 of every firstborn male in Egypt.

00:10:57.660 --> 00:10:58.980
 And at that time,

00:10:59.100 --> 00:11:01.040
 God makes this incredible provision

00:11:01.040 --> 00:11:01.720
 for his people.

00:11:03.100 --> 00:11:04.200
 He instructs his people

00:11:04.200 --> 00:11:06.120
 to kill a male lamb

00:11:06.120 --> 00:11:08.160
 because the firstborn males

00:11:08.159 --> 00:11:10.139
 would be struck by the destroyer.

00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:12.259
 He instructs his people

00:11:12.259 --> 00:11:14.159
 to take a male,

00:11:14.679 --> 00:11:15.899
 unblemished lamb

00:11:15.899 --> 00:11:18.019
 and kill it at twilight

00:11:18.019 --> 00:11:20.139
 on the night the destroyer comes.

00:11:21.219 --> 00:11:22.059
 And what they did

00:11:22.059 --> 00:11:23.319
 with the blood of that lamb

00:11:23.319 --> 00:11:25.240
 was they took the blood of that lamb

00:11:25.240 --> 00:11:26.879
 and they spread it over

00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:28.799
 the doorposts of their homes.

00:11:28.959 --> 00:11:30.419
 And so when the angel of the Lord

00:11:30.419 --> 00:11:31.519
 approached that house

00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:33.439
 and he saw the blood of the lamb,

00:11:33.759 --> 00:11:35.579
 he passed over the people

00:11:35.579 --> 00:11:36.639
 under the blood.

00:11:38.159 --> 00:11:41.439
 The blood of the sacrificed lamb

00:11:41.439 --> 00:11:42.860
 signaled the angel of death

00:11:42.860 --> 00:11:44.399
 that those in that house

00:11:44.399 --> 00:11:46.539
 were covered and protected

00:11:46.539 --> 00:11:49.299
 by the blood of the lamb.

00:11:49.659 --> 00:11:51.240
 The lamb was slain

00:11:51.240 --> 00:11:53.000
 to deliver the people

00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:54.019
 under the blood.

00:11:57.079 --> 00:11:57.759
 And so the blood

00:11:57.759 --> 00:11:58.879
 of the Passover lamb

00:11:58.879 --> 00:12:00.719
 rescued God's people

00:12:00.719 --> 00:12:01.740
 from sheer death

00:12:01.740 --> 00:12:03.240
 that led to their deliverance

00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:05.019
 from captivity to Egypt

00:12:05.019 --> 00:12:06.379
 and bring them out.

00:12:06.759 --> 00:12:07.960
 And this is the deliverance

00:12:07.960 --> 00:12:09.259
 that defined Israel

00:12:09.259 --> 00:12:10.199
 as God's people.

00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:14.919
 So God commanded

00:12:14.919 --> 00:12:16.100
 this Passover feast

00:12:16.100 --> 00:12:16.799
 to be observed

00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:18.100
 every year

00:12:18.100 --> 00:12:19.199
 for his people

00:12:19.199 --> 00:12:20.000
 to participate

00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:21.159
 in forever.

00:12:24.980 --> 00:12:26.059
 Passover has to do

00:12:26.059 --> 00:12:26.699
 with death.

00:12:27.519 --> 00:12:28.240
 It's got to do

00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:28.879
 with blood.

00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:30.299
 It's got to do

00:12:30.299 --> 00:12:31.439
 with passing

00:12:31.439 --> 00:12:33.299
 over protection.

00:12:37.299 --> 00:12:38.259
 And Jesus

00:12:38.259 --> 00:12:39.379
 drops it

00:12:39.379 --> 00:12:40.879
 here in Matthew

00:12:40.879 --> 00:12:41.820
 chapter 26

00:12:41.820 --> 00:12:42.639
 verse 2.

00:12:43.539 --> 00:12:44.159
 It's two days

00:12:44.159 --> 00:12:44.919
 from Passover.

00:12:45.720 --> 00:12:46.639
 He's connecting

00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:47.500
 the Passover

00:12:47.500 --> 00:12:49.360
 with his death.

00:12:50.120 --> 00:12:50.679
 Do you understand

00:12:50.679 --> 00:12:51.179
 the claim

00:12:51.179 --> 00:12:51.639
 that Jesus

00:12:51.639 --> 00:12:52.539
 is starting to make?

00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:54.779
 Jesus is starting

00:12:54.779 --> 00:12:55.980
 to make this claim

00:12:55.980 --> 00:12:58.180
 that his death

00:12:58.180 --> 00:12:59.700
 is the ultimate

00:12:59.700 --> 00:13:01.639
 Passover sacrifice.

00:13:05.460 --> 00:13:06.820
 It's a huge claim.

00:13:10.240 --> 00:13:11.720
 Jesus at this moment

00:13:11.720 --> 00:13:12.639
 is fully aware

00:13:12.639 --> 00:13:14.840
 that God has purposed

00:13:14.840 --> 00:13:15.899
 that he,

00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:16.800
 the Christ,

00:13:16.980 --> 00:13:17.840
 the Son of Man

00:13:17.840 --> 00:13:19.519
 is to be the ultimate

00:13:19.519 --> 00:13:20.899
 once for all

00:13:20.899 --> 00:13:22.659
 Passover sacrifice

00:13:22.659 --> 00:13:24.100
 for all sinners

00:13:24.100 --> 00:13:25.039
 everywhere

00:13:25.039 --> 00:13:26.360
 willing to

00:13:26.360 --> 00:13:27.219
 acknowledge him.

00:13:28.059 --> 00:13:28.899
 So what you have

00:13:28.899 --> 00:13:29.679
 going on here

00:13:29.679 --> 00:13:31.120
 33 AD in Jerusalem

00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:33.879
 is a seismic

00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:34.919
 shift in God's

00:13:34.919 --> 00:13:35.779
 plan of salvation.

00:13:39.719 --> 00:13:40.779
 Jesus is making

00:13:40.779 --> 00:13:41.480
 a claim on the

00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:41.919
 Passover.

00:13:43.539 --> 00:13:44.419
 So that's

00:13:44.419 --> 00:13:45.779
 the first section

00:13:45.779 --> 00:13:47.480
 of this passage.

00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:48.980
 Let's go to the

00:13:48.980 --> 00:13:49.279
 second.

00:13:50.099 --> 00:13:51.399
 Verses 3 through 5.

00:13:51.879 --> 00:13:52.759
 Caiaphas house.

00:13:53.599 --> 00:13:54.120
 Then the chief

00:13:54.120 --> 00:13:54.759
 priests and the

00:13:54.759 --> 00:13:55.600
 elders of the people

00:13:55.600 --> 00:13:56.299
 gathered in the

00:13:56.299 --> 00:13:57.100
 palace of the

00:13:57.100 --> 00:13:57.679
 high priest

00:13:57.679 --> 00:13:58.539
 whose name was

00:13:58.539 --> 00:13:59.179
 Caiaphas

00:13:59.179 --> 00:14:00.299
 and plotted together

00:14:00.299 --> 00:14:01.039
 in order to arrest

00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:01.879
 Jesus by stealth

00:14:01.879 --> 00:14:02.439
 and kill him.

00:14:02.899 --> 00:14:03.720
 But they said

00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:04.840
 not during the feast

00:14:04.840 --> 00:14:05.580
 lest there be an

00:14:05.580 --> 00:14:06.460
 uproar among the

00:14:06.460 --> 00:14:06.799
 people.

00:14:09.620 --> 00:14:10.960
 We move from

00:14:10.960 --> 00:14:12.080
 Jesus' final

00:14:12.080 --> 00:14:13.159
 passion prediction

00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:13.819
 in which he's

00:14:13.819 --> 00:14:14.939
 making a claim

00:14:14.939 --> 00:14:16.019
 on being the

00:14:16.019 --> 00:14:17.519
 Passover sacrifice

00:14:17.519 --> 00:14:20.319
 to Caiaphas house

00:14:20.320 --> 00:14:22.800
 where the chief

00:14:22.800 --> 00:14:24.160
 priests and

00:14:24.160 --> 00:14:25.840
 elders are plotting

00:14:25.840 --> 00:14:27.100
 the death of

00:14:27.100 --> 00:14:27.600
 Jesus.

00:14:32.000 --> 00:14:32.879
 These men are

00:14:32.879 --> 00:14:33.620
 not only aware

00:14:33.620 --> 00:14:34.600
 of Jesus but

00:14:34.600 --> 00:14:35.600
 they're seeing him

00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:36.440
 as a threat.

00:14:37.740 --> 00:14:38.820
 It's not good for

00:14:38.820 --> 00:14:39.440
 their political

00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:40.980
 position and power.

00:14:41.980 --> 00:14:42.700
 So they start

00:14:42.700 --> 00:14:43.760
 plotting to arrest

00:14:43.760 --> 00:14:44.580
 and kill him.

00:14:45.280 --> 00:14:46.280
 And what Matthew

00:14:46.280 --> 00:14:47.100
 lays out for us

00:14:47.100 --> 00:14:48.020
 is very interesting.

00:14:48.699 --> 00:14:49.759
 We've got one

00:14:49.759 --> 00:14:50.819
 plan laid out

00:14:50.819 --> 00:14:51.699
 the plan of the

00:14:51.699 --> 00:14:53.079
 Christ that his

00:14:53.079 --> 00:14:53.740
 death is going to

00:14:53.740 --> 00:14:54.519
 take place on the

00:14:54.519 --> 00:14:55.840
 Passover and now

00:14:55.840 --> 00:14:56.720
 we have another set

00:14:56.720 --> 00:14:57.799
 of plans by the

00:14:57.799 --> 00:14:58.779
 leaders of the

00:14:58.779 --> 00:14:59.819
 people and their

00:14:59.819 --> 00:15:00.639
 plan seems to be

00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:01.360
 saying let's not

00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:02.220
 kill him during

00:15:02.220 --> 00:15:02.779
 the feast.

00:15:08.019 --> 00:15:08.919
 Here's what I want

00:15:08.919 --> 00:15:09.480
 you to notice.

00:15:10.759 --> 00:15:11.960
 Notice where

00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:12.860
 they're meeting.

00:15:14.079 --> 00:15:15.000
 They're meeting

00:15:15.000 --> 00:15:16.679
 in Caiaphas

00:15:16.679 --> 00:15:17.759
 house.

00:15:18.019 --> 00:15:20.199
 a palace.

00:15:22.519 --> 00:15:23.579
 In verse 3.

00:15:25.159 --> 00:15:26.079
 Here's what I also

00:15:26.079 --> 00:15:26.879
 want you to notice.

00:15:28.340 --> 00:15:29.379
 That Caiaphas

00:15:29.379 --> 00:15:31.259
 is named.

00:15:33.759 --> 00:15:34.860
 It's not just

00:15:34.860 --> 00:15:36.039
 some guy.

00:15:36.759 --> 00:15:37.639
 It's Caiaphas.

00:15:38.939 --> 00:15:40.740
 He was a

00:15:40.740 --> 00:15:41.620
 unique high

00:15:41.620 --> 00:15:42.840
 priest in Israel

00:15:42.840 --> 00:15:43.500
 at this time.

00:15:43.799 --> 00:15:44.799
 He was able to

00:15:44.799 --> 00:15:45.559
 hold on to power

00:15:45.559 --> 00:15:46.779
 for about 16 years

00:15:46.779 --> 00:15:47.799
 which was quite

00:15:47.799 --> 00:15:48.500
 the political

00:15:48.500 --> 00:15:49.539
 accomplishment of

00:15:49.539 --> 00:15:50.240
 that time.

00:15:50.240 --> 00:15:51.419
 He was politically

00:15:51.419 --> 00:15:51.919
 savvy.

00:15:53.339 --> 00:15:54.459
 So they're meeting

00:15:54.459 --> 00:15:55.699
 in a palace in

00:15:55.699 --> 00:15:56.279
 Jerusalem.

00:15:56.819 --> 00:15:57.779
 Caiaphas house.

00:15:58.139 --> 00:15:58.740
 Prestigious.

00:15:58.879 --> 00:15:59.319
 It would have been a

00:15:59.319 --> 00:15:59.939
 nice place.

00:16:01.379 --> 00:16:02.480
 And notice the

00:16:02.480 --> 00:16:03.039
 plans.

00:16:04.139 --> 00:16:04.819
 Verse 5.

00:16:05.600 --> 00:16:06.579
 They're secretly

00:16:06.579 --> 00:16:07.539
 trying to arrest,

00:16:07.699 --> 00:16:08.199
 seeking how to

00:16:08.199 --> 00:16:08.899
 arrest and kill

00:16:08.899 --> 00:16:09.419
 Jesus.

00:16:09.860 --> 00:16:10.539
 But again,

00:16:11.139 --> 00:16:11.779
 not during the

00:16:11.779 --> 00:16:12.139
 feast.

00:16:12.139 --> 00:16:13.620
 I mean 180,000

00:16:13.620 --> 00:16:14.039
 people.

00:16:14.500 --> 00:16:15.080
 Surely some of

00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:15.319
 them are

00:16:15.319 --> 00:16:15.919
 Galileans.

00:16:16.220 --> 00:16:16.819
 Jesus has a

00:16:16.819 --> 00:16:17.240
 following.

00:16:17.639 --> 00:16:18.319
 If we try to

00:16:18.319 --> 00:16:18.860
 arrest him,

00:16:18.919 --> 00:16:19.539
 it's a political

00:16:19.539 --> 00:16:20.559
 tinderbox.

00:16:20.779 --> 00:16:21.340
 We could have a

00:16:21.340 --> 00:16:22.000
 riot on our

00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:22.519
 hands.

00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:24.699
 So they're going

00:16:24.699 --> 00:16:25.139
 to wait him

00:16:25.139 --> 00:16:25.480
 out.

00:16:26.919 --> 00:16:27.439
 But they're

00:16:27.439 --> 00:16:27.939
 looking for an

00:16:27.939 --> 00:16:28.399
 opportunity.

00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:34.019
 In this section,

00:16:34.120 --> 00:16:34.639
 what I want you

00:16:34.639 --> 00:16:35.519
 to see is that

00:16:35.519 --> 00:16:36.299
 we have important

00:16:36.299 --> 00:16:37.319
 people in high

00:16:37.319 --> 00:16:38.319
 positions plotting

00:16:38.319 --> 00:16:38.879
 the death of

00:16:38.879 --> 00:16:39.860
 Jesus in a

00:16:39.860 --> 00:16:40.340
 really nice

00:16:40.340 --> 00:16:40.919
 place.

00:16:41.919 --> 00:16:42.779
 A palace.

00:16:44.919 --> 00:16:45.480
 And their

00:16:45.480 --> 00:16:46.259
 plans seem to

00:16:46.259 --> 00:16:46.779
 be at odds

00:16:46.779 --> 00:16:47.379
 with the plans

00:16:47.379 --> 00:16:47.980
 of the Christ.

00:16:47.980 --> 00:16:48.100
 Christ.

00:16:50.940 --> 00:16:51.700
 Now we move

00:16:51.700 --> 00:16:52.120
 on to the

00:16:52.120 --> 00:16:52.820
 third section.

00:16:54.100 --> 00:16:54.860
 Verses 6

00:16:54.860 --> 00:16:55.600
 through 13.

00:16:56.800 --> 00:16:57.360
 The pouring

00:16:57.360 --> 00:16:58.279
 of oil on

00:16:58.279 --> 00:16:59.139
 Jesus by an

00:16:59.139 --> 00:17:00.060
 unnamed woman.

00:17:00.759 --> 00:17:01.159
 Let me read

00:17:01.159 --> 00:17:01.620
 that for you.

00:17:02.080 --> 00:17:02.659
 Now when Jesus

00:17:02.659 --> 00:17:03.519
 was at Bethany

00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:04.160
 in the house

00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:05.039
 of Simon the

00:17:05.039 --> 00:17:06.099
 leper, a woman

00:17:06.099 --> 00:17:06.920
 came up to him

00:17:06.920 --> 00:17:07.860
 with an alabaster

00:17:07.860 --> 00:17:08.740
 flask, a very

00:17:08.740 --> 00:17:09.660
 expensive ointment,

00:17:09.900 --> 00:17:10.559
 and she poured

00:17:10.559 --> 00:17:11.420
 it on his head

00:17:11.420 --> 00:17:12.180
 as he reclined

00:17:12.180 --> 00:17:12.680
 at table.

00:17:13.019 --> 00:17:13.420
 And when the

00:17:13.420 --> 00:17:14.319
 disciples saw it,

00:17:14.360 --> 00:17:15.099
 they were indignant

00:17:15.099 --> 00:17:16.059
 saying, why this

00:17:16.059 --> 00:17:16.579
 waste?

00:17:16.660 --> 00:17:17.140
 For this could

00:17:17.140 --> 00:17:17.680
 have been sold

00:17:17.680 --> 00:17:17.960
 for a

00:17:17.960 --> 00:17:18.519
 large sum

00:17:18.519 --> 00:17:18.840
 and given

00:17:18.840 --> 00:17:19.519
 to the poor.

00:17:20.460 --> 00:17:21.240
 But Jesus,

00:17:21.579 --> 00:17:22.340
 aware of this,

00:17:22.519 --> 00:17:23.160
 said to them,

00:17:23.600 --> 00:17:24.180
 why do you

00:17:24.180 --> 00:17:24.600
 trouble the

00:17:24.600 --> 00:17:24.840
 woman?

00:17:25.579 --> 00:17:26.360
 For she has

00:17:26.360 --> 00:17:27.039
 done a

00:17:27.039 --> 00:17:27.740
 beautiful thing

00:17:27.740 --> 00:17:28.140
 to me.

00:17:28.799 --> 00:17:29.259
 For you

00:17:29.259 --> 00:17:29.819
 always have

00:17:29.819 --> 00:17:30.200
 the poor

00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:30.519
 with you,

00:17:30.579 --> 00:17:30.799
 but you

00:17:30.799 --> 00:17:31.120
 will not

00:17:31.120 --> 00:17:31.600
 always have

00:17:31.600 --> 00:17:31.960
 me.

00:17:32.259 --> 00:17:32.799
 In pouring

00:17:32.799 --> 00:17:33.480
 this ointment

00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:34.380
 on my body,

00:17:34.460 --> 00:17:35.019
 she has done

00:17:35.019 --> 00:17:35.660
 it to prepare

00:17:35.660 --> 00:17:36.600
 me for burial.

00:17:37.120 --> 00:17:37.660
 Truly I

00:17:37.660 --> 00:17:38.100
 say to you,

00:17:38.180 --> 00:17:38.720
 wherever the

00:17:38.720 --> 00:17:39.279
 gospel is

00:17:39.279 --> 00:17:39.840
 proclaimed in

00:17:39.840 --> 00:17:40.240
 the whole

00:17:40.240 --> 00:17:41.100
 world, what

00:17:41.100 --> 00:17:41.840
 she has done

00:17:41.840 --> 00:17:42.640
 will also be

00:17:42.640 --> 00:17:43.200
 told in

00:17:43.200 --> 00:17:44.860
 memory of

00:17:44.860 --> 00:17:45.740
 her.

00:17:46.880 --> 00:17:47.500
 So here's

00:17:47.500 --> 00:17:47.900
 the shift

00:17:47.900 --> 00:17:48.259
 that takes

00:17:48.259 --> 00:17:48.680
 place.

00:17:49.779 --> 00:17:50.339
 We've just

00:17:50.339 --> 00:17:50.759
 been in

00:17:50.759 --> 00:17:51.359
 Caiaphas'

00:17:51.940 --> 00:17:52.480
 palace.

00:17:53.299 --> 00:17:54.279
 He's named.

00:17:55.220 --> 00:17:56.000
 A plot's

00:17:56.000 --> 00:17:56.660
 unfolding.

00:17:57.940 --> 00:17:58.160
 And then

00:17:58.160 --> 00:17:58.940
 Matthew brings

00:17:58.940 --> 00:18:00.160
 us from the

00:18:00.160 --> 00:18:00.740
 palace of

00:18:00.740 --> 00:18:03.500
 Caiaphas to

00:18:03.500 --> 00:18:04.619
 the house of

00:18:04.619 --> 00:18:05.420
 Simon the

00:18:05.420 --> 00:18:05.779
 leper.

00:18:07.059 --> 00:18:07.940
 From

00:18:07.940 --> 00:18:09.460
 palace to

00:18:09.460 --> 00:18:10.240
 a leper's

00:18:10.240 --> 00:18:10.559
 house?

00:18:12.059 --> 00:18:12.579
 In

00:18:12.579 --> 00:18:13.179
 Bethany?

00:18:14.720 --> 00:18:15.240
 We go

00:18:15.240 --> 00:18:16.259
 from the

00:18:16.259 --> 00:18:17.519
 capital to

00:18:17.519 --> 00:18:18.519
 some potent

00:18:18.519 --> 00:18:19.359
 place on

00:18:19.359 --> 00:18:20.099
 the outskirts.

00:18:22.099 --> 00:18:23.019
 It's quite a

00:18:23.019 --> 00:18:23.659
 contrast.

00:18:24.539 --> 00:18:24.939
 We're not

00:18:24.939 --> 00:18:25.299
 given the

00:18:25.299 --> 00:18:26.299
 back story on

00:18:26.299 --> 00:18:27.000
 Simon the

00:18:27.000 --> 00:18:27.319
 leper.

00:18:28.439 --> 00:18:29.240
 I'd love to

00:18:29.240 --> 00:18:29.799
 know it,

00:18:30.699 --> 00:18:31.519
 but in order

00:18:31.519 --> 00:18:32.759
 for Jesus and

00:18:32.759 --> 00:18:33.559
 other Jews to

00:18:33.559 --> 00:18:34.679
 be meeting

00:18:34.679 --> 00:18:36.859
 there, it

00:18:36.859 --> 00:18:37.480
 must have been

00:18:37.480 --> 00:18:38.179
 cleansed.

00:18:40.039 --> 00:18:40.539
 And so one of

00:18:40.539 --> 00:18:41.200
 the theories is

00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:41.720
 Simon the

00:18:41.720 --> 00:18:42.200
 leper was

00:18:42.200 --> 00:18:42.659
 healed by

00:18:42.659 --> 00:18:43.019
 Jesus.

00:18:44.539 --> 00:18:45.119
 That's how

00:18:45.119 --> 00:18:45.359
 they could

00:18:45.359 --> 00:18:45.799
 meet there.

00:18:46.480 --> 00:18:47.180
 Otherwise, it

00:18:47.180 --> 00:18:47.500
 would have been

00:18:47.500 --> 00:18:48.379
 unclean and

00:18:48.379 --> 00:18:49.759
 unallowed for

00:18:49.759 --> 00:18:50.319
 any Jew to

00:18:50.319 --> 00:18:50.700
 meet in.

00:18:52.799 --> 00:18:53.659
 So the

00:18:53.659 --> 00:18:54.700
 where is in

00:18:54.700 --> 00:18:56.839
 contrast to

00:18:56.839 --> 00:18:57.299
 Caiaphas'

00:18:57.539 --> 00:18:58.059
 palace.

00:18:59.200 --> 00:18:59.839
 It's a

00:18:59.839 --> 00:19:00.259
 questionable

00:19:00.259 --> 00:19:00.920
 place.

00:19:01.039 --> 00:19:01.700
 A leper's

00:19:01.700 --> 00:19:02.119
 house?

00:19:03.079 --> 00:19:03.359
 In

00:19:03.359 --> 00:19:03.819
 Bethany?

00:19:06.819 --> 00:19:07.539
 And now,

00:19:07.819 --> 00:19:08.159
 the who.

00:19:08.160 --> 00:19:10.519
 verse 7,

00:19:10.580 --> 00:19:11.200
 a woman came

00:19:11.200 --> 00:19:11.740
 up to him

00:19:11.740 --> 00:19:12.040
 with an

00:19:12.040 --> 00:19:12.519
 alabaster.

00:19:12.700 --> 00:19:13.140
 She's

00:19:13.140 --> 00:19:13.620
 unnamed.

00:19:14.800 --> 00:19:15.800
 If you look

00:19:15.800 --> 00:19:16.259
 at the rest

00:19:16.259 --> 00:19:16.540
 of the

00:19:16.540 --> 00:19:17.019
 section, she

00:19:17.019 --> 00:19:17.940
 goes nameless.

00:19:18.500 --> 00:19:18.960
 Verse 10,

00:19:19.320 --> 00:19:19.800
 why do you

00:19:19.800 --> 00:19:20.259
 trouble the

00:19:20.259 --> 00:19:20.500
 woman?

00:19:20.640 --> 00:19:21.300
 For she

00:19:21.300 --> 00:19:21.880
 has done a

00:19:21.880 --> 00:19:22.500
 beautiful thing.

00:19:23.300 --> 00:19:24.759
 Verse 12,

00:19:25.860 --> 00:19:27.160
 on my body,

00:19:27.300 --> 00:19:27.980
 she has done

00:19:27.980 --> 00:19:28.160
 it.

00:19:28.779 --> 00:19:29.580
 Verse 13,

00:19:30.100 --> 00:19:30.920
 what she has

00:19:30.920 --> 00:19:31.340
 done will

00:19:31.340 --> 00:19:32.019
 also be told

00:19:32.019 --> 00:19:32.340
 in memory.

00:19:32.440 --> 00:19:32.880
 She's never

00:19:32.880 --> 00:19:33.380
 named.

00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:36.800
 Caiaphas gets

00:19:36.800 --> 00:19:37.400
 named.

00:19:37.400 --> 00:19:38.200
 This woman

00:19:38.200 --> 00:19:39.040
 doesn't.

00:19:40.560 --> 00:19:40.840
 It's an

00:19:40.840 --> 00:19:41.080
 interesting

00:19:41.080 --> 00:19:41.860
 contrast.

00:19:42.300 --> 00:19:42.800
 Matthew is

00:19:42.800 --> 00:19:43.200
 wanting to

00:19:43.200 --> 00:19:43.519
 draw our

00:19:43.519 --> 00:19:43.980
 attention to

00:19:43.980 --> 00:19:44.320
 something.

00:19:47.600 --> 00:19:49.740
 Now, we

00:19:49.740 --> 00:19:50.380
 actually know

00:19:50.380 --> 00:19:50.720
 who this

00:19:50.720 --> 00:19:51.040
 is.

00:19:52.460 --> 00:19:53.360
 John 12

00:19:53.360 --> 00:19:53.900
 spills the

00:19:53.900 --> 00:19:54.120
 beans.

00:19:56.060 --> 00:19:56.780
 This is

00:19:56.780 --> 00:19:58.160
 Mary, the

00:19:58.160 --> 00:19:58.660
 sister of

00:19:58.660 --> 00:19:59.300
 Martha and

00:19:59.300 --> 00:19:59.900
 Lazarus.

00:20:01.820 --> 00:20:02.320
 Matthew

00:20:02.320 --> 00:20:02.980
 intentionally

00:20:02.980 --> 00:20:03.580
 keeps her

00:20:03.580 --> 00:20:04.000
 anonymous.

00:20:04.140 --> 00:20:04.380
 We'll come

00:20:04.380 --> 00:20:04.880
 back to it

00:20:04.880 --> 00:20:05.259
 in a second.

00:20:05.259 --> 00:20:06.200
 But this

00:20:06.200 --> 00:20:07.579
 Mary would

00:20:07.579 --> 00:20:07.779
 have been

00:20:07.779 --> 00:20:08.440
 the Mary

00:20:08.440 --> 00:20:09.039
 in John

00:20:09.039 --> 00:20:09.960
 11 who

00:20:09.960 --> 00:20:10.579
 witnessed

00:20:10.579 --> 00:20:11.920
 Jesus raise

00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:12.700
 her brother,

00:20:12.839 --> 00:20:13.640
 dead brother,

00:20:13.720 --> 00:20:14.299
 up from the

00:20:14.299 --> 00:20:14.720
 grave.

00:20:15.619 --> 00:20:16.000
 That's who

00:20:16.000 --> 00:20:16.559
 this is.

00:20:17.339 --> 00:20:18.039
 This is the

00:20:18.039 --> 00:20:18.900
 same Mary in

00:20:18.900 --> 00:20:19.940
 Luke 10 who

00:20:19.940 --> 00:20:20.640
 is commended

00:20:20.640 --> 00:20:21.299
 by Jesus

00:20:21.299 --> 00:20:22.519
 himself for

00:20:22.519 --> 00:20:23.440
 sitting at

00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:24.319
 his feet and

00:20:24.319 --> 00:20:24.940
 listening to

00:20:24.940 --> 00:20:25.740
 every word that

00:20:25.740 --> 00:20:26.420
 came off his

00:20:26.420 --> 00:20:27.859
 lips as her

00:20:27.859 --> 00:20:28.859
 sister Martha

00:20:28.859 --> 00:20:29.799
 is crazily,

00:20:29.900 --> 00:20:30.720
 busily trying to

00:20:30.720 --> 00:20:31.759
 facilitate stuff.

00:20:31.759 --> 00:20:33.940
 this is that

00:20:33.940 --> 00:20:34.240
 Mary.

00:20:36.559 --> 00:20:37.920
 But Matthew

00:20:37.920 --> 00:20:38.839
 intentionally keeps

00:20:38.839 --> 00:20:40.519
 her anonymous in

00:20:40.519 --> 00:20:41.680
 order to contrast

00:20:41.680 --> 00:20:43.160
 her with the

00:20:43.160 --> 00:20:44.460
 big wig Caiaphas

00:20:44.460 --> 00:20:45.079
 who's been

00:20:45.079 --> 00:20:45.460
 named.

00:20:46.460 --> 00:20:47.500
 Caiaphas is

00:20:47.500 --> 00:20:49.099
 plotting Christ's

00:20:49.099 --> 00:20:49.420
 death.

00:20:49.839 --> 00:20:50.740
 This unnamed

00:20:50.740 --> 00:20:52.160
 woman is not

00:20:52.160 --> 00:20:53.140
 plotting his

00:20:53.140 --> 00:20:53.440
 death.

00:20:53.819 --> 00:20:54.980
 She's preparing

00:20:54.980 --> 00:20:56.680
 him to give

00:20:56.680 --> 00:20:58.119
 his life as a

00:20:58.119 --> 00:20:59.079
 ransom for many.

00:20:59.079 --> 00:21:00.879
 she's lining up

00:21:00.879 --> 00:21:01.579
 with the

00:21:01.579 --> 00:21:02.319
 Christ's

00:21:02.319 --> 00:21:02.779
 purposes.

00:21:06.059 --> 00:21:06.859
 And what we

00:21:06.859 --> 00:21:07.639
 read is she

00:21:07.639 --> 00:21:08.359
 comes to Jesus

00:21:08.359 --> 00:21:09.279
 with an alabaster

00:21:09.279 --> 00:21:10.179
 flask, a very

00:21:10.179 --> 00:21:11.259
 expensive ointment

00:21:11.259 --> 00:21:12.079
 and we learn

00:21:12.079 --> 00:21:12.859
 from Mark that

00:21:12.859 --> 00:21:13.859
 this is not just

00:21:13.859 --> 00:21:14.960
 your everyday oil

00:21:14.960 --> 00:21:15.720
 that during the

00:21:15.720 --> 00:21:16.539
 day you put on

00:21:16.539 --> 00:21:17.240
 somebody as just

00:21:17.240 --> 00:21:17.839
 kind of a token

00:21:17.839 --> 00:21:18.299
 welcome.

00:21:19.720 --> 00:21:21.139
 In our time

00:21:21.139 --> 00:21:21.539
 this would have

00:21:21.539 --> 00:21:22.419
 been about 35,

00:21:22.539 --> 00:21:23.740
 40 grand

00:21:23.740 --> 00:21:25.500
 of perfume.

00:21:26.579 --> 00:21:27.740
 That's the value.

00:21:27.740 --> 00:21:29.319
 It was worth a

00:21:29.319 --> 00:21:30.880
 year's wage of a

00:21:30.880 --> 00:21:31.539
 laborer.

00:21:32.079 --> 00:21:34.299
 35 to 40 grand

00:21:34.299 --> 00:21:35.440
 of perfume

00:21:35.440 --> 00:21:37.019
 this unnamed

00:21:37.019 --> 00:21:38.579
 woman pours out

00:21:38.579 --> 00:21:39.620
 on the head

00:21:39.620 --> 00:21:40.680
 of Jesus

00:21:40.680 --> 00:21:41.819
 in this

00:21:41.819 --> 00:21:43.120
 leper's house

00:21:43.120 --> 00:21:44.859
 outside of

00:21:44.859 --> 00:21:45.960
 the political

00:21:45.960 --> 00:21:46.579
 capital.

00:21:48.299 --> 00:21:49.420
 Quite a

00:21:49.420 --> 00:21:50.120
 contrast.

00:21:50.119 --> 00:21:54.659
 when you see

00:21:54.659 --> 00:21:56.399
 a pouring out

00:21:56.399 --> 00:21:57.019
 of this sort

00:21:57.019 --> 00:21:57.959
 in the Bible

00:21:57.959 --> 00:21:59.539
 it's called

00:21:59.539 --> 00:22:00.399
 an anointing.

00:22:01.239 --> 00:22:01.959
 And as you

00:22:01.959 --> 00:22:02.399
 read your

00:22:02.399 --> 00:22:03.019
 Old Testament

00:22:03.019 --> 00:22:04.019
 you see a

00:22:04.019 --> 00:22:04.479
 pouring out

00:22:04.479 --> 00:22:04.959
 of oil

00:22:04.959 --> 00:22:05.679
 on somebody's

00:22:05.679 --> 00:22:05.819
 head.

00:22:05.959 --> 00:22:06.399
 Typically

00:22:06.399 --> 00:22:07.679
 it's the

00:22:07.679 --> 00:22:08.279
 anointing

00:22:08.279 --> 00:22:08.899
 of a

00:22:08.899 --> 00:22:09.299
 king.

00:22:11.500 --> 00:22:12.059
 It's

00:22:12.059 --> 00:22:12.659
 associated

00:22:12.659 --> 00:22:13.799
 with kingship.

00:22:14.559 --> 00:22:14.859
 In 1

00:22:14.859 --> 00:22:15.779
 Samuel 16

00:22:15.779 --> 00:22:16.559
 Samuel

00:22:16.559 --> 00:22:17.199
 anoints

00:22:17.199 --> 00:22:17.579
 David

00:22:17.579 --> 00:22:18.219
 by pouring

00:22:18.219 --> 00:22:19.299
 oil over

00:22:19.299 --> 00:22:19.899
 his head.

00:22:22.680 --> 00:22:23.319
 But the

00:22:23.319 --> 00:22:23.599
 thing is

00:22:23.599 --> 00:22:23.899
 we're not

00:22:23.899 --> 00:22:24.579
 told why.

00:22:26.039 --> 00:22:26.379
 Matthew

00:22:26.379 --> 00:22:26.899
 doesn't tell

00:22:26.899 --> 00:22:27.339
 us why

00:22:27.339 --> 00:22:28.779
 this unnamed

00:22:28.779 --> 00:22:29.639
 woman pours

00:22:29.639 --> 00:22:30.619
 this oil

00:22:30.619 --> 00:22:31.339
 out on

00:22:31.339 --> 00:22:31.599
 Jesus'

00:22:31.799 --> 00:22:31.940
 head.

00:22:32.039 --> 00:22:32.299
 We don't

00:22:32.299 --> 00:22:32.599
 learn it

00:22:32.599 --> 00:22:32.919
 from the

00:22:32.919 --> 00:22:33.539
 other gospel

00:22:33.539 --> 00:22:33.919
 writers

00:22:33.919 --> 00:22:34.359
 either.

00:22:35.259 --> 00:22:35.839
 But you

00:22:35.839 --> 00:22:36.079
 know what

00:22:36.079 --> 00:22:36.440
 it's safe

00:22:36.440 --> 00:22:36.839
 to say?

00:22:38.519 --> 00:22:39.220
 It's safe

00:22:39.220 --> 00:22:39.839
 to say that

00:22:39.839 --> 00:22:40.899
 this pouring

00:22:40.899 --> 00:22:41.659
 out of

00:22:41.659 --> 00:22:42.700
 this 35,

00:22:42.799 --> 00:22:43.480
 40 grand

00:22:43.480 --> 00:22:44.299
 of perfume

00:22:44.299 --> 00:22:44.720
 oil,

00:22:45.339 --> 00:22:46.579
 it was a

00:22:46.579 --> 00:22:47.240
 lavish

00:22:47.240 --> 00:22:48.440
 demonstration

00:22:48.440 --> 00:22:49.620
 of this

00:22:49.620 --> 00:22:50.279
 unnamed

00:22:50.279 --> 00:22:50.819
 woman's

00:22:50.819 --> 00:22:51.380
 devotion

00:22:51.380 --> 00:22:52.500
 to her

00:22:52.500 --> 00:22:53.059
 king

00:22:53.059 --> 00:22:53.960
 Jesus.

00:22:56.160 --> 00:22:57.099
 And it

00:22:57.099 --> 00:22:57.599
 stands in

00:22:57.599 --> 00:22:57.880
 sharp

00:22:57.880 --> 00:22:58.700
 contrast

00:22:58.700 --> 00:23:00.880
 to the

00:23:00.880 --> 00:23:01.180
 plotting

00:23:01.180 --> 00:23:01.940
 Caiaphas.

00:23:04.319 --> 00:23:05.319
 It also

00:23:05.319 --> 00:23:05.779
 stands in

00:23:05.779 --> 00:23:06.140
 contrast

00:23:06.140 --> 00:23:07.120
 to the

00:23:07.120 --> 00:23:07.559
 disciples.

00:23:07.759 --> 00:23:08.039
 In verses

00:23:08.039 --> 00:23:08.539
 8 and

00:23:08.539 --> 00:23:08.819
 9,

00:23:09.079 --> 00:23:09.480
 they throw

00:23:09.480 --> 00:23:09.880
 a hissy

00:23:09.880 --> 00:23:10.079
 fit.

00:23:10.200 --> 00:23:10.420
 They're

00:23:10.420 --> 00:23:10.920
 angry.

00:23:11.680 --> 00:23:12.079
 They go

00:23:12.079 --> 00:23:13.339
 pragmatic.

00:23:13.339 --> 00:23:15.119
 They see

00:23:15.119 --> 00:23:15.599
 her pouring

00:23:15.599 --> 00:23:16.599
 out a

00:23:16.599 --> 00:23:17.019
 year's

00:23:17.019 --> 00:23:18.319
 wage on

00:23:18.319 --> 00:23:18.839
 this,

00:23:19.139 --> 00:23:19.579
 on his

00:23:19.579 --> 00:23:19.879
 head,

00:23:20.079 --> 00:23:20.359
 and they're

00:23:20.359 --> 00:23:20.539
 like,

00:23:21.379 --> 00:23:21.939
 why the

00:23:21.939 --> 00:23:22.419
 waste?

00:23:23.139 --> 00:23:23.679
 What are

00:23:23.679 --> 00:23:24.299
 you doing?

00:23:24.959 --> 00:23:25.359
 We could

00:23:25.359 --> 00:23:25.599
 have used

00:23:25.599 --> 00:23:25.799
 it for

00:23:25.799 --> 00:23:26.439
 the poor.

00:23:27.619 --> 00:23:28.339
 I really

00:23:28.339 --> 00:23:28.740
 think I

00:23:28.740 --> 00:23:28.980
 would have

00:23:28.980 --> 00:23:29.379
 done that.

00:23:33.159 --> 00:23:33.859
 But Jesus

00:23:33.859 --> 00:23:34.399
 does something

00:23:34.399 --> 00:23:34.759
 phenomenal.

00:23:34.899 --> 00:23:35.339
 This is like

00:23:35.339 --> 00:23:35.799
 my favorite

00:23:35.799 --> 00:23:36.179
 part.

00:23:37.980 --> 00:23:38.419
 Jesus,

00:23:38.819 --> 00:23:39.639
 Jesus goes

00:23:39.639 --> 00:23:39.980
 to her

00:23:39.980 --> 00:23:40.519
 defense.

00:23:41.619 --> 00:23:42.059
 He goes

00:23:42.059 --> 00:23:42.599
 to bat

00:23:42.599 --> 00:23:43.219
 for her.

00:23:46.859 --> 00:23:47.459
 He says,

00:23:47.579 --> 00:23:47.980
 this is no

00:23:47.980 --> 00:23:48.339
 waste.

00:23:49.059 --> 00:23:49.539
 Verse 10,

00:23:49.659 --> 00:23:50.099
 for she has

00:23:50.099 --> 00:23:50.439
 done a

00:23:50.439 --> 00:23:51.079
 beautiful thing

00:23:51.079 --> 00:23:51.459
 to me.

00:23:53.119 --> 00:23:53.699
 Opposed to

00:23:53.699 --> 00:23:54.339
 Caiaphas and

00:23:54.339 --> 00:23:54.619
 what we'll

00:23:54.619 --> 00:23:54.980
 read in a

00:23:54.980 --> 00:23:55.439
 second about

00:23:55.439 --> 00:23:55.799
 Judas.

00:23:56.079 --> 00:23:56.339
 It's a

00:23:56.339 --> 00:23:57.019
 beautiful thing,

00:23:57.079 --> 00:23:57.939
 not wasteful.

00:23:58.459 --> 00:23:58.679
 And then

00:23:58.679 --> 00:23:59.159
 verse 11,

00:23:59.240 --> 00:23:59.599
 he says,

00:23:59.959 --> 00:24:00.379
 for you will

00:24:00.379 --> 00:24:00.819
 always have

00:24:00.819 --> 00:24:01.159
 the poor

00:24:01.159 --> 00:24:01.480
 with you,

00:24:01.539 --> 00:24:01.759
 but you

00:24:01.759 --> 00:24:02.039
 will not

00:24:02.039 --> 00:24:02.819
 always have

00:24:02.819 --> 00:24:03.139
 me.

00:24:03.539 --> 00:24:04.199
 Jesus is

00:24:04.199 --> 00:24:04.619
 recognizing

00:24:04.619 --> 00:24:05.519
 this unique

00:24:05.519 --> 00:24:06.599
 moment in

00:24:06.599 --> 00:24:07.099
 salvation

00:24:07.099 --> 00:24:07.779
 history.

00:24:08.619 --> 00:24:09.059
 Jesus is

00:24:09.059 --> 00:24:09.919
 not dismissing

00:24:09.919 --> 00:24:10.339
 the help

00:24:10.339 --> 00:24:10.919
 of the poor.

00:24:11.219 --> 00:24:12.039
 He advocated

00:24:12.039 --> 00:24:12.259
 it.

00:24:12.259 --> 00:24:12.900
 What he

00:24:12.900 --> 00:24:13.660
 is acknowledging

00:24:13.660 --> 00:24:14.440
 is a very

00:24:14.440 --> 00:24:15.000
 appropriate

00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:16.700
 display of

00:24:16.700 --> 00:24:17.720
 devotion at

00:24:17.720 --> 00:24:18.140
 a unique

00:24:18.140 --> 00:24:19.180
 moment in

00:24:19.180 --> 00:24:19.700
 salvation

00:24:19.700 --> 00:24:20.140
 history.

00:24:20.279 --> 00:24:20.640
 He's the

00:24:20.640 --> 00:24:21.019
 son of

00:24:21.019 --> 00:24:21.339
 man.

00:24:21.680 --> 00:24:22.119
 He's the

00:24:22.119 --> 00:24:22.599
 Christ,

00:24:22.779 --> 00:24:23.819
 God incarnate,

00:24:24.079 --> 00:24:24.700
 and he's

00:24:24.700 --> 00:24:25.599
 coming up

00:24:25.599 --> 00:24:26.519
 on his

00:24:26.519 --> 00:24:27.339
 Passover

00:24:27.339 --> 00:24:28.099
 sacrifice,

00:24:28.099 --> 00:24:29.079
 and this

00:24:29.079 --> 00:24:29.779
 woman does

00:24:29.779 --> 00:24:30.359
 a really

00:24:30.359 --> 00:24:31.079
 beautiful thing

00:24:31.079 --> 00:24:31.480
 to him.

00:24:34.319 --> 00:24:34.879
 In

00:24:34.879 --> 00:24:35.859
 verse 12,

00:24:35.980 --> 00:24:36.779
 Jesus declares

00:24:36.779 --> 00:24:38.980
 that what

00:24:38.980 --> 00:24:39.400
 she's done

00:24:39.400 --> 00:24:40.019
 is a beautiful

00:24:40.019 --> 00:24:40.420
 thing.

00:24:40.420 --> 00:24:42.560
 it's

00:24:42.560 --> 00:24:42.920
 preparing

00:24:42.920 --> 00:24:43.360
 him for

00:24:43.360 --> 00:24:43.800
 burial.

00:24:44.380 --> 00:24:44.900
 Here's what

00:24:44.900 --> 00:24:45.120
 you need

00:24:45.120 --> 00:24:45.380
 to know

00:24:45.380 --> 00:24:46.000
 about this.

00:24:47.380 --> 00:24:47.840
 Jesus

00:24:47.840 --> 00:24:48.400
 knows he's

00:24:48.400 --> 00:24:48.620
 going to

00:24:48.620 --> 00:24:48.900
 die on

00:24:48.900 --> 00:24:49.180
 a Roman

00:24:49.180 --> 00:24:49.640
 cross,

00:24:49.640 --> 00:24:50.420
 and what

00:24:50.420 --> 00:24:50.720
 you need

00:24:50.720 --> 00:24:51.000
 to know

00:24:51.000 --> 00:24:51.320
 about

00:24:51.320 --> 00:24:52.120
 crucifixion

00:24:52.120 --> 00:24:53.460
 is when

00:24:53.460 --> 00:24:53.820
 you get

00:24:53.820 --> 00:24:54.420
 crucified,

00:24:54.820 --> 00:24:55.740
 you forego

00:24:55.740 --> 00:24:56.539
 all burial

00:24:56.539 --> 00:24:56.980
 rites,

00:24:57.340 --> 00:24:57.600
 okay?

00:24:58.180 --> 00:24:58.680
 Here's what

00:24:58.680 --> 00:24:59.120
 would typically

00:24:59.120 --> 00:24:59.519
 happen.

00:24:59.820 --> 00:25:00.160
 You get

00:25:00.160 --> 00:25:00.720
 crucified,

00:25:01.340 --> 00:25:01.800
 and either

00:25:01.800 --> 00:25:02.720
 the body

00:25:02.720 --> 00:25:04.300
 rots and

00:25:04.300 --> 00:25:05.100
 disintegrates

00:25:05.099 --> 00:25:05.639
 on the

00:25:05.639 --> 00:25:06.059
 cross,

00:25:06.179 --> 00:25:06.740
 or it

00:25:06.740 --> 00:25:07.279
 gets cut

00:25:07.279 --> 00:25:07.740
 down,

00:25:08.059 --> 00:25:08.679
 falls down,

00:25:08.839 --> 00:25:09.500
 and scavenged

00:25:09.500 --> 00:25:10.219
 by animals.

00:25:10.439 --> 00:25:11.339
 There's no

00:25:11.339 --> 00:25:12.339
 burial proceedings.

00:25:13.480 --> 00:25:14.199
 It was a

00:25:14.199 --> 00:25:15.240
 display of

00:25:15.240 --> 00:25:15.919
 power by

00:25:15.919 --> 00:25:16.279
 Rome.

00:25:18.279 --> 00:25:19.179
 Jesus knows

00:25:19.179 --> 00:25:19.539
 this.

00:25:21.779 --> 00:25:22.059
 And so,

00:25:22.279 --> 00:25:23.379
 this act

00:25:23.379 --> 00:25:24.059
 of devotion,

00:25:24.339 --> 00:25:25.099
 and we're not

00:25:25.099 --> 00:25:25.919
 clear if this

00:25:25.919 --> 00:25:27.379
 woman knew

00:25:27.379 --> 00:25:28.179
 that she was

00:25:28.179 --> 00:25:29.240
 anointing his

00:25:29.240 --> 00:25:30.000
 body for burial,

00:25:30.119 --> 00:25:30.899
 we're not told.

00:25:31.159 --> 00:25:31.799
 But what Jesus

00:25:31.799 --> 00:25:32.339
 says is,

00:25:32.339 --> 00:25:32.899
 oh,

00:25:33.099 --> 00:25:33.799
 this is what

00:25:33.799 --> 00:25:34.119
 you have

00:25:34.119 --> 00:25:34.399
 done.

00:25:35.980 --> 00:25:36.500
 You've

00:25:36.500 --> 00:25:37.059
 anointed my

00:25:37.059 --> 00:25:37.539
 body for

00:25:37.539 --> 00:25:37.879
 burial.

00:25:39.439 --> 00:25:39.939
 You've

00:25:39.939 --> 00:25:40.779
 shown me

00:25:40.779 --> 00:25:41.839
 a kindness

00:25:41.839 --> 00:25:43.359
 that all

00:25:43.359 --> 00:25:44.179
 other crucified

00:25:44.179 --> 00:25:45.119
 bodies typically

00:25:45.119 --> 00:25:46.240
 don't receive.

00:25:50.059 --> 00:25:50.639
 A

00:25:50.639 --> 00:25:51.000
 perfumed

00:25:51.000 --> 00:25:51.399
 body.

00:25:56.500 --> 00:25:57.419
 What we see

00:25:57.419 --> 00:25:58.000
 here is that

00:25:58.000 --> 00:25:58.819
 Jesus is

00:25:58.819 --> 00:25:59.559
 thinking about

00:25:59.559 --> 00:26:00.519
 his crucifixion.

00:26:02.339 --> 00:26:02.819
 And in

00:26:02.819 --> 00:26:03.379
 verse 13,

00:26:03.480 --> 00:26:03.720
 he says,

00:26:03.779 --> 00:26:04.019
 truly,

00:26:04.379 --> 00:26:05.119
 I say to

00:26:05.119 --> 00:26:05.500
 you,

00:26:05.859 --> 00:26:06.439
 wherever this

00:26:06.439 --> 00:26:07.039
 gospel is

00:26:07.039 --> 00:26:07.740
 proclaimed in

00:26:07.740 --> 00:26:08.059
 the whole

00:26:08.059 --> 00:26:08.419
 world,

00:26:08.539 --> 00:26:08.980
 what she has

00:26:08.980 --> 00:26:09.439
 done will

00:26:09.439 --> 00:26:10.199
 also be told

00:26:10.199 --> 00:26:10.799
 in memory of

00:26:10.799 --> 00:26:10.919
 her.

00:26:11.259 --> 00:26:11.720
 She is

00:26:11.720 --> 00:26:13.539
 commended for

00:26:13.539 --> 00:26:14.899
 her service

00:26:14.899 --> 00:26:15.939
 in his

00:26:15.939 --> 00:26:18.039
 great redemptive

00:26:18.039 --> 00:26:19.459
 act for the

00:26:19.459 --> 00:26:19.919
 world.

00:26:20.839 --> 00:26:21.439
 Did you notice

00:26:21.439 --> 00:26:22.039
 the words,

00:26:22.519 --> 00:26:24.000
 this gospel?

00:26:25.399 --> 00:26:26.019
 Look at

00:26:26.019 --> 00:26:26.699
 verse 13.

00:26:27.459 --> 00:26:27.980
 I say to

00:26:27.980 --> 00:26:28.099
 you,

00:26:28.199 --> 00:26:29.000
 wherever this

00:26:29.000 --> 00:26:29.899
 gospel is

00:26:29.899 --> 00:26:30.539
 proclaimed in

00:26:30.539 --> 00:26:30.899
 the whole

00:26:30.899 --> 00:26:31.379
 world,

00:26:31.380 --> 00:26:32.800
 Jesus

00:26:32.800 --> 00:26:34.160
 already knows

00:26:34.160 --> 00:26:35.020
 that his

00:26:35.020 --> 00:26:35.920
 coming death

00:26:35.920 --> 00:26:36.640
 is going to

00:26:36.640 --> 00:26:37.340
 be good

00:26:37.340 --> 00:26:38.580
 news for

00:26:38.580 --> 00:26:39.320
 the world.

00:26:41.840 --> 00:26:42.680
 And what

00:26:42.680 --> 00:26:43.200
 this woman

00:26:43.200 --> 00:26:43.780
 has done

00:26:43.780 --> 00:26:45.080
 has lined

00:26:45.080 --> 00:26:46.180
 up with

00:26:46.180 --> 00:26:46.740
 his

00:26:46.740 --> 00:26:47.740
 redemptive

00:26:47.740 --> 00:26:48.520
 purposes,

00:26:48.940 --> 00:26:49.480
 his

00:26:49.480 --> 00:26:50.560
 sacrificial

00:26:50.560 --> 00:26:51.140
 death.

00:26:51.540 --> 00:26:51.900
 She has

00:26:51.900 --> 00:26:52.440
 anointed

00:26:52.440 --> 00:26:53.260
 his body

00:26:53.260 --> 00:26:54.060
 for burial

00:26:54.060 --> 00:26:54.780
 after

00:26:54.780 --> 00:26:55.720
 crucifixion

00:26:55.720 --> 00:26:56.620
 on the

00:26:56.620 --> 00:26:57.100
 Passover.

00:26:57.099 --> 00:26:57.179
 Passover.

00:27:01.019 --> 00:27:01.619
 Quite a

00:27:01.619 --> 00:27:02.339
 contrast to

00:27:02.339 --> 00:27:02.859
 Caiaphas,

00:27:03.059 --> 00:27:03.339
 and it's

00:27:03.339 --> 00:27:03.699
 quite a

00:27:03.699 --> 00:27:04.719
 contrast to

00:27:04.719 --> 00:27:05.199
 Judas.

00:27:06.139 --> 00:27:06.859
 And this

00:27:06.859 --> 00:27:07.199
 is the

00:27:07.199 --> 00:27:08.399
 fourth section

00:27:08.399 --> 00:27:08.919
 of this

00:27:08.919 --> 00:27:09.439
 passage.

00:27:10.279 --> 00:27:10.879
 In verses

00:27:10.879 --> 00:27:11.559
 14 through

00:27:11.559 --> 00:27:12.179
 16,

00:27:12.519 --> 00:27:13.199
 then one

00:27:13.199 --> 00:27:13.419
 of the

00:27:13.419 --> 00:27:13.779
 twelve,

00:27:13.879 --> 00:27:14.219
 whose name

00:27:14.219 --> 00:27:14.639
 was Judas

00:27:14.639 --> 00:27:15.219
 Iscariot,

00:27:15.319 --> 00:27:15.659
 went to

00:27:15.659 --> 00:27:16.019
 the chief

00:27:16.019 --> 00:27:16.519
 priest and

00:27:16.519 --> 00:27:16.759
 said,

00:27:17.119 --> 00:27:17.539
 what will

00:27:17.539 --> 00:27:17.859
 you give

00:27:17.859 --> 00:27:18.259
 me if I

00:27:18.259 --> 00:27:18.759
 deliver him

00:27:18.759 --> 00:27:19.179
 over to

00:27:19.179 --> 00:27:19.379
 you?

00:27:19.519 --> 00:27:19.939
 And they

00:27:19.939 --> 00:27:20.299
 paid him

00:27:20.299 --> 00:27:20.539
 thirty

00:27:20.539 --> 00:27:21.059
 pieces of

00:27:21.059 --> 00:27:21.339
 silver,

00:27:21.559 --> 00:27:22.019
 and from

00:27:22.019 --> 00:27:22.579
 that moment

00:27:22.579 --> 00:27:23.279
 he sought

00:27:23.279 --> 00:27:24.159
 an opportunity

00:27:24.160 --> 00:27:24.940
 to betray

00:27:24.940 --> 00:27:25.320
 him.

00:27:26.620 --> 00:27:27.120
 We've got

00:27:27.120 --> 00:27:27.340
 another

00:27:27.340 --> 00:27:27.980
 contrast.

00:27:28.980 --> 00:27:29.200
 This

00:27:29.200 --> 00:27:29.720
 unnamed

00:27:29.720 --> 00:27:30.340
 woman is

00:27:30.340 --> 00:27:31.820
 now contrasted

00:27:31.820 --> 00:27:32.620
 with another

00:27:32.620 --> 00:27:33.960
 named man,

00:27:35.160 --> 00:27:35.540
 Judas

00:27:35.540 --> 00:27:36.380
 Iscariot.

00:27:43.560 --> 00:27:44.420
 Now this

00:27:44.420 --> 00:27:44.800
 is the

00:27:44.800 --> 00:27:47.860
 one who

00:27:47.860 --> 00:27:48.259
 would have

00:27:48.259 --> 00:27:48.800
 walked with

00:27:48.800 --> 00:27:49.380
 Jesus for

00:27:49.380 --> 00:27:49.680
 a long

00:27:49.680 --> 00:27:50.080
 time.

00:27:52.320 --> 00:27:53.120
 He would

00:27:53.120 --> 00:27:53.480
 have seen

00:27:53.480 --> 00:27:54.060
 first hand

00:27:54.059 --> 00:27:54.639
 what Jesus

00:27:54.639 --> 00:27:55.919
 has done.

00:27:56.099 --> 00:27:56.659
 He would

00:27:56.659 --> 00:27:57.019
 have heard

00:27:57.019 --> 00:27:57.339
 with his

00:27:57.339 --> 00:27:57.859
 own ears

00:27:57.859 --> 00:27:58.519
 the teaching

00:27:58.519 --> 00:27:59.440
 that Jesus

00:27:59.440 --> 00:28:00.200
 taught to

00:28:00.200 --> 00:28:00.859
 the astonishment

00:28:00.859 --> 00:28:01.200
 of the

00:28:01.200 --> 00:28:01.579
 crowds.

00:28:02.000 --> 00:28:02.179
 He would

00:28:02.179 --> 00:28:02.559
 have handled

00:28:02.559 --> 00:28:03.139
 the baskets

00:28:03.139 --> 00:28:03.480
 of the

00:28:03.480 --> 00:28:04.319
 leftover bread

00:28:04.319 --> 00:28:04.960
 of the

00:28:04.960 --> 00:28:05.299
 feeding of

00:28:05.299 --> 00:28:05.679
 the five

00:28:05.679 --> 00:28:06.339
 thousand and

00:28:06.339 --> 00:28:06.859
 four thousand.

00:28:06.980 --> 00:28:07.240
 He was

00:28:07.240 --> 00:28:07.539
 there.

00:28:07.859 --> 00:28:08.099
 He was

00:28:08.099 --> 00:28:08.339
 in the

00:28:08.339 --> 00:28:08.899
 boat when

00:28:08.899 --> 00:28:09.519
 Jesus calmed

00:28:09.519 --> 00:28:09.879
 the raging

00:28:09.879 --> 00:28:10.179
 seas.

00:28:10.379 --> 00:28:10.740
 He was

00:28:10.740 --> 00:28:11.059
 there.

00:28:11.359 --> 00:28:11.759
 He saw

00:28:11.759 --> 00:28:12.339
 first hand

00:28:12.339 --> 00:28:13.039
 people raised

00:28:13.039 --> 00:28:13.379
 from the

00:28:13.379 --> 00:28:13.559
 dead.

00:28:13.859 --> 00:28:14.200
 He was

00:28:14.200 --> 00:28:14.759
 there.

00:28:15.119 --> 00:28:15.679
 He saw

00:28:15.679 --> 00:28:16.159
 demons

00:28:16.159 --> 00:28:17.039
 exercised.

00:28:17.319 --> 00:28:17.720
 He saw

00:28:17.720 --> 00:28:18.259
 the blind

00:28:18.259 --> 00:28:18.700
 see.

00:28:18.859 --> 00:28:19.179
 He saw

00:28:19.179 --> 00:28:19.559
 the lame

00:28:19.559 --> 00:28:20.019
 walk,

00:28:20.119 --> 00:28:20.519
 the sick

00:28:20.519 --> 00:28:20.960
 healed.

00:28:21.339 --> 00:28:22.019
 Of all

00:28:22.019 --> 00:28:22.700
 people,

00:28:22.919 --> 00:28:23.259
 why

00:28:23.259 --> 00:28:23.799
 Judas?

00:28:23.799 --> 00:28:24.019
 Judas.

00:28:25.960 --> 00:28:26.700
 We're not

00:28:26.700 --> 00:28:27.299
 really told.

00:28:31.000 --> 00:28:31.899
 But what we

00:28:31.899 --> 00:28:32.700
 know is like

00:28:32.700 --> 00:28:34.059
 Caiaphas,

00:28:34.299 --> 00:28:35.599
 he opposed

00:28:35.599 --> 00:28:36.419
 Jesus.

00:28:38.019 --> 00:28:38.700
 You know

00:28:38.700 --> 00:28:39.079
 what's safe

00:28:39.079 --> 00:28:39.539
 to say?

00:28:40.919 --> 00:28:41.940
 Jesus is

00:28:41.940 --> 00:28:42.740
 not

00:28:42.740 --> 00:28:44.139
 Judas'

00:28:44.399 --> 00:28:44.859
 Lord.

00:28:46.899 --> 00:28:47.579
 If you

00:28:47.579 --> 00:28:47.960
 want to flip

00:28:47.960 --> 00:28:48.539
 back with me

00:28:48.539 --> 00:28:48.799
 to the

00:28:48.799 --> 00:28:49.159
 Sermon on

00:28:49.159 --> 00:28:49.500
 the Mount,

00:28:51.000 --> 00:28:52.240
 here's some

00:28:52.240 --> 00:28:52.720
 sobering

00:28:52.720 --> 00:28:53.059
 words.

00:28:53.799 --> 00:28:55.759
 could you

00:28:55.759 --> 00:28:56.180
 imagine if

00:28:56.180 --> 00:28:56.680
 Judas was

00:28:56.680 --> 00:28:56.940
 there,

00:28:57.639 --> 00:28:58.139
 what he

00:28:58.139 --> 00:28:58.639
 was thinking

00:28:58.639 --> 00:28:59.079
 and what

00:28:59.079 --> 00:28:59.759
 Jesus would

00:28:59.759 --> 00:28:59.940
 have been

00:28:59.940 --> 00:29:00.240
 thinking?

00:29:01.960 --> 00:29:02.319
 Matthew

00:29:02.319 --> 00:29:03.059
 chapter 7

00:29:03.059 --> 00:29:03.680
 verse 21,

00:29:03.779 --> 00:29:04.259
 not everyone

00:29:04.259 --> 00:29:04.859
 who says to

00:29:04.859 --> 00:29:05.000
 me,

00:29:05.059 --> 00:29:05.240
 Lord,

00:29:05.359 --> 00:29:05.559
 Lord,

00:29:05.599 --> 00:29:05.980
 will enter

00:29:05.980 --> 00:29:06.379
 the kingdom

00:29:06.379 --> 00:29:06.839
 of heaven,

00:29:07.359 --> 00:29:07.839
 but the

00:29:07.839 --> 00:29:08.119
 one who

00:29:08.119 --> 00:29:08.539
 does the

00:29:08.539 --> 00:29:08.779
 will of

00:29:08.779 --> 00:29:09.299
 my father

00:29:09.299 --> 00:29:09.619
 who is

00:29:09.619 --> 00:29:09.980
 in heaven.

00:29:10.460 --> 00:29:10.559
 On

00:29:10.559 --> 00:29:11.339
 that day

00:29:11.339 --> 00:29:11.899
 many will

00:29:11.899 --> 00:29:12.200
 say to

00:29:12.200 --> 00:29:12.339
 me,

00:29:12.399 --> 00:29:12.599
 Lord,

00:29:12.700 --> 00:29:12.899
 Lord,

00:29:12.960 --> 00:29:13.220
 did we

00:29:13.220 --> 00:29:13.419
 not

00:29:13.419 --> 00:29:13.919
 prophesy

00:29:13.919 --> 00:29:14.200
 in your

00:29:14.200 --> 00:29:14.519
 name and

00:29:14.519 --> 00:29:14.980
 cast out

00:29:14.980 --> 00:29:15.240
 demons

00:29:15.240 --> 00:29:15.539
 in your

00:29:15.539 --> 00:29:15.799
 name and

00:29:15.799 --> 00:29:16.119
 do many

00:29:16.119 --> 00:29:16.399
 mighty

00:29:16.399 --> 00:29:16.919
 works in

00:29:16.919 --> 00:29:17.019
 your

00:29:17.019 --> 00:29:17.259
 name?

00:29:17.759 --> 00:29:17.879
 And

00:29:17.879 --> 00:29:18.279
 then will

00:29:18.279 --> 00:29:18.399
 I

00:29:18.399 --> 00:29:18.879
 declare to

00:29:18.879 --> 00:29:19.139
 them,

00:29:19.259 --> 00:29:19.659
 I never

00:29:19.659 --> 00:29:20.139
 knew you.

00:29:20.140 --> 00:29:21.320
 depart from

00:29:21.320 --> 00:29:21.480
 me,

00:29:21.540 --> 00:29:21.660
 you

00:29:21.660 --> 00:29:22.060
 workers

00:29:22.060 --> 00:29:22.400
 of

00:29:22.400 --> 00:29:22.920
 lawlessness.

00:29:23.640 --> 00:29:24.100
 You want

00:29:24.100 --> 00:29:24.320
 to see

00:29:24.320 --> 00:29:24.740
 what Jesus

00:29:24.740 --> 00:29:25.060
 is going

00:29:25.060 --> 00:29:25.320
 to say

00:29:25.320 --> 00:29:26.500
 to Judas?

00:29:26.740 --> 00:29:26.980
 We're

00:29:26.980 --> 00:29:27.120
 going to

00:29:27.120 --> 00:29:27.500
 talk about

00:29:27.500 --> 00:29:27.960
 this next

00:29:27.960 --> 00:29:28.240
 week,

00:29:28.360 --> 00:29:28.880
 but if you

00:29:28.880 --> 00:29:29.220
 look at

00:29:29.220 --> 00:29:30.300
 chapter 26

00:29:30.300 --> 00:29:31.500
 verse 24,

00:29:31.680 --> 00:29:32.140
 this is what

00:29:32.140 --> 00:29:32.620
 Jesus has

00:29:32.620 --> 00:29:33.080
 to say to

00:29:33.080 --> 00:29:33.440
 Judas.

00:29:33.840 --> 00:29:34.140
 The son

00:29:34.140 --> 00:29:34.440
 of man

00:29:34.440 --> 00:29:35.040
 goes and

00:29:35.040 --> 00:29:35.540
 is written

00:29:35.540 --> 00:29:35.900
 of him,

00:29:36.040 --> 00:29:36.640
 but woe

00:29:36.640 --> 00:29:37.100
 to the

00:29:37.100 --> 00:29:38.060
 man by

00:29:38.060 --> 00:29:38.640
 whom the

00:29:38.640 --> 00:29:38.980
 son of

00:29:38.980 --> 00:29:39.360
 man is

00:29:39.360 --> 00:29:39.820
 betrayed.

00:29:39.980 --> 00:29:40.300
 It would

00:29:40.300 --> 00:29:40.580
 have been

00:29:40.580 --> 00:29:41.440
 better for

00:29:41.440 --> 00:29:42.220
 that man

00:29:42.220 --> 00:29:43.000
 Judas if

00:29:43.000 --> 00:29:43.300
 he had

00:29:43.300 --> 00:29:43.860
 not been

00:29:43.860 --> 00:29:44.380
 born.

00:29:44.380 --> 00:29:50.760
 what this

00:29:50.760 --> 00:29:52.220
 man does

00:29:52.220 --> 00:29:54.000
 here is

00:29:54.000 --> 00:29:55.260
 the complete

00:29:55.260 --> 00:29:56.740
 opposite of

00:29:56.740 --> 00:29:57.680
 this beautiful

00:29:57.680 --> 00:29:59.700
 devotion by

00:29:59.700 --> 00:30:00.420
 an unnamed

00:30:00.420 --> 00:30:00.820
 woman.

00:30:01.100 --> 00:30:02.040
 It is a

00:30:02.040 --> 00:30:03.580
 diabolical act

00:30:03.580 --> 00:30:04.320
 of betrayal

00:30:04.320 --> 00:30:05.440
 by a named

00:30:05.440 --> 00:30:05.900
 man.

00:30:10.260 --> 00:30:10.720
 And if you

00:30:10.720 --> 00:30:11.320
 notice where

00:30:11.320 --> 00:30:11.800
 he goes,

00:30:11.800 --> 00:30:12.460
 he goes to

00:30:12.460 --> 00:30:12.920
 the chief

00:30:12.920 --> 00:30:14.060
 priests in

00:30:14.059 --> 00:30:14.879
 verse 14,

00:30:15.859 --> 00:30:16.539
 he goes to

00:30:16.539 --> 00:30:16.980
 them,

00:30:17.779 --> 00:30:18.299
 and he

00:30:18.299 --> 00:30:18.740
 goes to

00:30:18.740 --> 00:30:19.700
 them asking,

00:30:20.019 --> 00:30:20.480
 what will

00:30:20.480 --> 00:30:21.019
 you give

00:30:21.019 --> 00:30:21.740
 me if I

00:30:21.740 --> 00:30:22.419
 deliver him

00:30:22.419 --> 00:30:22.980
 over to

00:30:22.980 --> 00:30:23.139
 you?

00:30:23.359 --> 00:30:23.919
 If Matthew

00:30:23.919 --> 00:30:24.500
 gives us

00:30:24.500 --> 00:30:25.220
 anything as

00:30:25.220 --> 00:30:25.619
 far as

00:30:25.619 --> 00:30:25.960
 motive,

00:30:26.099 --> 00:30:26.700
 it's money.

00:30:31.339 --> 00:30:31.859
 The

00:30:31.859 --> 00:30:32.960
 team

00:30:32.960 --> 00:30:33.599
 Caiaphas

00:30:33.599 --> 00:30:34.419
 now has

00:30:34.419 --> 00:30:35.200
 an inside

00:30:35.200 --> 00:30:35.940
 man,

00:30:36.399 --> 00:30:37.019
 and that

00:30:37.019 --> 00:30:38.200
 inside man

00:30:38.200 --> 00:30:38.579
 is going

00:30:38.579 --> 00:30:38.819
 to get

00:30:38.819 --> 00:30:39.940
 paid to

00:30:39.940 --> 00:30:41.019
 show them

00:30:41.019 --> 00:30:41.980
 an opportunity

00:30:41.980 --> 00:30:43.159
 when Jesus

00:30:43.159 --> 00:30:43.859
 is away

00:30:43.859 --> 00:30:44.279
 from the

00:30:44.279 --> 00:30:44.799
 crowds,

00:30:45.399 --> 00:30:46.240
 Gethsemane.

00:30:52.779 --> 00:30:53.279
 And

00:30:53.279 --> 00:30:54.759
 Judas does

00:30:54.759 --> 00:30:55.000
 it for

00:30:55.000 --> 00:30:55.519
 30 pieces

00:30:55.519 --> 00:30:56.039
 of silver.

00:30:57.240 --> 00:30:57.959
 That might

00:30:57.959 --> 00:30:58.379
 sound like,

00:30:58.439 --> 00:30:58.519
 whoa,

00:30:58.599 --> 00:30:59.119
 30 pieces

00:30:59.119 --> 00:30:59.539
 of silver,

00:30:59.659 --> 00:30:59.799
 wow,

00:30:59.859 --> 00:31:00.059
 that's

00:31:00.059 --> 00:31:00.399
 impressive.

00:31:00.599 --> 00:31:01.479
 It's not.

00:31:03.399 --> 00:31:04.259
 30 pieces

00:31:04.259 --> 00:31:04.699
 of silver

00:31:04.699 --> 00:31:05.059
 in our

00:31:05.059 --> 00:31:05.339
 day was

00:31:05.339 --> 00:31:05.539
 about

00:31:05.539 --> 00:31:06.219
 $7,500.

00:31:06.220 --> 00:31:06.339
 $7,500.

00:31:07.600 --> 00:31:08.880
 It was a

00:31:08.880 --> 00:31:10.160
 paltry sum

00:31:10.160 --> 00:31:10.819
 of money

00:31:10.819 --> 00:31:11.799
 to hand

00:31:11.799 --> 00:31:12.759
 over God

00:31:12.759 --> 00:31:13.519
 incarnate

00:31:13.519 --> 00:31:14.059
 to die.

00:31:18.559 --> 00:31:19.440
 But it was

00:31:19.440 --> 00:31:19.880
 all according

00:31:19.880 --> 00:31:20.319
 to plan.

00:31:24.360 --> 00:31:25.420
 It's quite a

00:31:25.420 --> 00:31:26.000
 contrast.

00:31:26.279 --> 00:31:26.620
 The name

00:31:26.620 --> 00:31:27.019
 Judas,

00:31:27.360 --> 00:31:28.019
 the unnamed

00:31:28.019 --> 00:31:28.460
 woman,

00:31:28.880 --> 00:31:29.339
 the delivering

00:31:29.339 --> 00:31:30.039
 over to

00:31:30.039 --> 00:31:30.400
 death,

00:31:30.559 --> 00:31:31.059
 but for a

00:31:31.059 --> 00:31:32.000
 paltry sum,

00:31:32.000 --> 00:31:32.319
 and then

00:31:32.319 --> 00:31:33.079
 the preparing

00:31:33.079 --> 00:31:34.160
 for burial

00:31:34.160 --> 00:31:35.160
 at great

00:31:35.160 --> 00:31:35.779
 cost.

00:31:36.319 --> 00:31:36.660
 Judas,

00:31:36.880 --> 00:31:37.359
 the name

00:31:37.359 --> 00:31:38.319
 remembered as

00:31:38.319 --> 00:31:38.819
 a perpetual

00:31:38.819 --> 00:31:39.400
 evil.

00:31:39.759 --> 00:31:40.079
 Have you ever

00:31:40.079 --> 00:31:40.460
 been called

00:31:40.460 --> 00:31:40.819
 a Judas?

00:31:42.960 --> 00:31:43.339
 And this

00:31:43.339 --> 00:31:43.799
 unnamed

00:31:43.799 --> 00:31:44.619
 woman remembered

00:31:44.619 --> 00:31:45.400
 always for

00:31:45.400 --> 00:31:45.640
 good.

00:31:48.920 --> 00:31:49.660
 The final

00:31:49.660 --> 00:31:50.359
 section is

00:31:50.359 --> 00:31:51.119
 in verses

00:31:51.119 --> 00:31:51.859
 17 through

00:31:51.859 --> 00:31:52.240
 19.

00:31:53.700 --> 00:31:54.319
 We read,

00:31:54.539 --> 00:31:54.740
 now on the

00:31:54.740 --> 00:31:55.259
 first day of

00:31:55.259 --> 00:31:55.819
 unleavened bread,

00:31:55.920 --> 00:31:56.359
 the disciples

00:31:56.359 --> 00:31:57.000
 came to Jesus

00:31:57.000 --> 00:31:57.339
 saying,

00:31:57.759 --> 00:31:58.160
 where will you

00:31:58.160 --> 00:31:59.000
 have us

00:31:59.000 --> 00:31:59.839
 prepare for you

00:31:59.839 --> 00:32:00.319
 to eat the

00:32:00.319 --> 00:32:00.659
 Passover?

00:32:01.139 --> 00:32:01.480
 He said,

00:32:01.559 --> 00:32:02.099
 go into the

00:32:02.099 --> 00:32:02.659
 city to a

00:32:02.659 --> 00:32:03.179
 certain man

00:32:03.179 --> 00:32:03.839
 and say to

00:32:03.839 --> 00:32:03.959
 him,

00:32:04.000 --> 00:32:04.359
 the teacher

00:32:04.359 --> 00:32:04.699
 says,

00:32:04.779 --> 00:32:05.319
 my time

00:32:05.319 --> 00:32:05.720
 is at

00:32:05.720 --> 00:32:06.039
 hand.

00:32:06.159 --> 00:32:06.500
 I will

00:32:06.500 --> 00:32:07.019
 keep the

00:32:07.019 --> 00:32:07.419
 Passover

00:32:07.419 --> 00:32:08.220
 at your

00:32:08.220 --> 00:32:09.179
 house with

00:32:09.179 --> 00:32:09.819
 my disciples.

00:32:10.000 --> 00:32:10.179
 And the

00:32:10.179 --> 00:32:10.939
 disciples did

00:32:10.939 --> 00:32:11.779
 as Jesus

00:32:11.779 --> 00:32:12.359
 had directed

00:32:12.359 --> 00:32:12.720
 them,

00:32:13.039 --> 00:32:13.379
 and they

00:32:13.379 --> 00:32:14.500
 prepared the

00:32:14.500 --> 00:32:14.839
 Passover.

00:32:15.500 --> 00:32:16.220
 What Matthew

00:32:16.220 --> 00:32:16.899
 does here is

00:32:16.899 --> 00:32:17.779
 he bookends

00:32:17.779 --> 00:32:18.619
 this passage

00:32:18.619 --> 00:32:19.439
 with Passover

00:32:19.439 --> 00:32:19.859
 talk.

00:32:20.399 --> 00:32:21.240
 He wants

00:32:21.240 --> 00:32:22.159
 you to be

00:32:22.159 --> 00:32:23.000
 thinking about

00:32:23.000 --> 00:32:23.799
 Christ's death

00:32:23.799 --> 00:32:24.699
 in terms of

00:32:24.699 --> 00:32:25.699
 Passover.

00:32:27.339 --> 00:32:28.240
 And I'm not

00:32:28.240 --> 00:32:28.619
 sure if you

00:32:28.619 --> 00:32:29.319
 noticed this,

00:32:29.839 --> 00:32:30.639
 but in

00:32:30.639 --> 00:32:31.859
 verse 18,

00:32:32.359 --> 00:32:32.899
 when Jesus

00:32:32.899 --> 00:32:33.279
 says,

00:32:33.799 --> 00:32:34.579
 my time

00:32:34.579 --> 00:32:35.599
 is at

00:32:35.599 --> 00:32:36.199
 hand,

00:32:36.599 --> 00:32:37.319
 he's speaking

00:32:37.319 --> 00:32:37.919
 of his

00:32:37.919 --> 00:32:38.419
 death.

00:32:39.579 --> 00:32:40.379
 The Passover

00:32:40.379 --> 00:32:41.359
 has arrived.

00:32:41.740 --> 00:32:42.539
 It's two days

00:32:42.539 --> 00:32:43.240
 later now.

00:32:43.559 --> 00:32:44.139
 The Passover

00:32:44.139 --> 00:32:44.839
 has come.

00:32:45.099 --> 00:32:45.579
 They need to

00:32:45.579 --> 00:32:46.159
 start preparing

00:32:46.159 --> 00:32:46.619
 the meal.

00:32:46.819 --> 00:32:47.359
 I'll elaborate

00:32:47.359 --> 00:32:48.339
 that next week.

00:32:48.559 --> 00:32:49.159
 But what Jesus

00:32:49.159 --> 00:32:49.699
 is saying,

00:32:50.019 --> 00:32:50.740
 with the coming

00:32:50.740 --> 00:32:51.539
 of the Passover

00:32:51.539 --> 00:32:53.079
 is the coming

00:32:53.079 --> 00:32:54.339
 of his time

00:32:54.339 --> 00:32:55.839
 to die.

00:32:55.839 --> 00:33:00.179
 my time

00:33:00.179 --> 00:33:01.740
 is at

00:33:01.740 --> 00:33:02.139
 hand.

00:33:04.759 --> 00:33:05.919
 This passage

00:33:05.919 --> 00:33:06.939
 begins and

00:33:06.939 --> 00:33:07.939
 ends with the

00:33:07.939 --> 00:33:08.720
 bookends of

00:33:08.720 --> 00:33:09.319
 Passover.

00:33:09.819 --> 00:33:10.299
 And the way

00:33:10.299 --> 00:33:10.799
 that Jesus

00:33:10.799 --> 00:33:11.599
 talks about

00:33:11.599 --> 00:33:12.879
 it, it

00:33:12.879 --> 00:33:13.459
 sounds like

00:33:13.459 --> 00:33:13.839
 he's in

00:33:13.839 --> 00:33:14.659
 total control.

00:33:16.819 --> 00:33:17.559
 It's going to

00:33:17.559 --> 00:33:18.099
 happen in two

00:33:18.099 --> 00:33:18.439
 days.

00:33:19.159 --> 00:33:19.819
 My time is

00:33:19.819 --> 00:33:20.319
 at hand.

00:33:20.319 --> 00:33:24.659
 And it's

00:33:24.659 --> 00:33:24.960
 true.

00:33:26.559 --> 00:33:27.179
 This is

00:33:27.179 --> 00:33:28.319
 God-ordained,

00:33:28.379 --> 00:33:28.980
 all of it

00:33:28.980 --> 00:33:29.460
 from beginning

00:33:29.460 --> 00:33:30.019
 to end.

00:33:30.639 --> 00:33:31.379
 Let me try

00:33:31.379 --> 00:33:31.879
 to summarize

00:33:31.879 --> 00:33:32.579
 these five

00:33:32.579 --> 00:33:33.359
 sections in a

00:33:33.359 --> 00:33:34.039
 slightly different

00:33:34.039 --> 00:33:34.399
 way.

00:33:35.679 --> 00:33:36.779
 This passage,

00:33:36.919 --> 00:33:37.359
 these five

00:33:37.359 --> 00:33:37.899
 seconds, the

00:33:37.899 --> 00:33:38.519
 first section

00:33:38.519 --> 00:33:38.779
 and the

00:33:38.779 --> 00:33:40.039
 fifth section

00:33:40.039 --> 00:33:41.980
 are Passover

00:33:41.980 --> 00:33:43.240
 fulfillment spoken

00:33:43.240 --> 00:33:43.859
 by Jesus.

00:33:43.980 --> 00:33:44.319
 It's about

00:33:44.319 --> 00:33:44.799
 him.

00:33:45.279 --> 00:33:45.759
 He's the

00:33:45.759 --> 00:33:46.220
 ultimate

00:33:46.220 --> 00:33:46.919
 Passover

00:33:46.919 --> 00:33:48.059
 sacrifice.

00:33:49.220 --> 00:33:49.579
 And then

00:33:49.579 --> 00:33:50.500
 section two

00:33:50.500 --> 00:33:51.179
 and four,

00:33:51.559 --> 00:33:52.139
 these are

00:33:52.139 --> 00:33:53.359
 sections about

00:33:53.359 --> 00:33:54.159
 treachery.

00:33:55.379 --> 00:33:56.220
 And then the

00:33:56.220 --> 00:33:56.899
 middle section,

00:33:57.000 --> 00:33:57.339
 the third

00:33:57.339 --> 00:33:58.279
 section, is

00:33:58.279 --> 00:33:59.199
 this unnamed

00:33:59.199 --> 00:33:59.740
 woman who

00:33:59.740 --> 00:34:00.220
 does this

00:34:00.220 --> 00:34:01.319
 beautiful thing

00:34:01.319 --> 00:34:02.259
 preparing Jesus

00:34:02.259 --> 00:34:02.819
 for his

00:34:02.819 --> 00:34:03.179
 burial.

00:34:05.139 --> 00:34:06.379
 It's all

00:34:06.379 --> 00:34:07.519
 surrounded by

00:34:07.519 --> 00:34:08.079
 God's

00:34:08.079 --> 00:34:08.599
 sovereignty.

00:34:14.599 --> 00:34:15.440
 Here's the

00:34:15.440 --> 00:34:15.900
 point of it

00:34:15.900 --> 00:34:16.099
 all.

00:34:17.880 --> 00:34:19.299
 God wants

00:34:19.300 --> 00:34:20.400
 us to

00:34:20.400 --> 00:34:20.900
 think about

00:34:20.900 --> 00:34:21.580
 Christ's

00:34:21.580 --> 00:34:22.480
 death in

00:34:22.480 --> 00:34:23.480
 terms of

00:34:23.480 --> 00:34:23.940
 Passover.

00:34:24.920 --> 00:34:25.500
 He wants

00:34:25.500 --> 00:34:26.300
 us to be

00:34:26.300 --> 00:34:26.920
 thinking about

00:34:26.920 --> 00:34:27.580
 what Christ

00:34:27.580 --> 00:34:28.680
 did as

00:34:28.680 --> 00:34:29.700
 sacrifice.

00:34:31.060 --> 00:34:31.500
 And he

00:34:31.500 --> 00:34:33.000
 orchestrated it

00:34:33.000 --> 00:34:34.000
 all by his

00:34:34.000 --> 00:34:35.460
 sovereignty, both

00:34:35.460 --> 00:34:36.760
 the good, the

00:34:36.760 --> 00:34:37.940
 indifferent, and

00:34:37.940 --> 00:34:38.880
 the really ugly.

00:34:39.160 --> 00:34:40.300
 It was all under

00:34:40.300 --> 00:34:41.180
 God's sovereignty

00:34:41.180 --> 00:34:42.180
 to bring about

00:34:42.180 --> 00:34:43.200
 the greatest

00:34:43.200 --> 00:34:44.400
 sacrifice ever

00:34:44.400 --> 00:34:45.420
 made for all

00:34:45.420 --> 00:34:45.760
 people.

00:34:45.760 --> 00:34:50.360
 So we

00:34:50.360 --> 00:34:50.840
 must see

00:34:50.840 --> 00:34:51.420
 Christ's

00:34:51.420 --> 00:34:52.040
 death as

00:34:52.040 --> 00:34:52.780
 the ultimate

00:34:52.780 --> 00:34:53.520
 Passover

00:34:53.520 --> 00:34:54.440
 sacrifice.

00:34:55.880 --> 00:34:56.620
 He's the

00:34:56.620 --> 00:34:56.880
 greatest

00:34:56.880 --> 00:34:57.420
 sacrifice.

00:34:57.620 --> 00:34:58.120
 It's who he

00:34:58.120 --> 00:34:58.320
 is.

00:34:58.360 --> 00:34:58.860
 He's God in

00:34:58.860 --> 00:34:59.320
 the flesh.

00:34:59.420 --> 00:34:59.980
 His blood

00:34:59.980 --> 00:35:01.460
 shed and

00:35:01.460 --> 00:35:02.640
 God's wrath

00:35:02.640 --> 00:35:03.780
 passes over.

00:35:06.860 --> 00:35:07.580
 And he

00:35:07.580 --> 00:35:08.480
 accomplished the

00:35:08.480 --> 00:35:08.840
 greatest

00:35:08.840 --> 00:35:09.740
 deliverance.

00:35:11.620 --> 00:35:12.180
 Deliverance

00:35:12.180 --> 00:35:12.860
 from the

00:35:12.860 --> 00:35:13.640
 captivity to

00:35:13.639 --> 00:35:13.960
 sin.

00:35:14.739 --> 00:35:15.239
 Deliverance

00:35:15.239 --> 00:35:15.659
 from the

00:35:15.659 --> 00:35:16.079
 fear of

00:35:16.079 --> 00:35:16.379
 death.

00:35:17.159 --> 00:35:17.579
 Deliverance

00:35:17.579 --> 00:35:17.920
 from the

00:35:17.920 --> 00:35:18.440
 domain of

00:35:18.440 --> 00:35:18.839
 the devil.

00:35:19.659 --> 00:35:20.179
 And he

00:35:20.179 --> 00:35:21.219
 establishes

00:35:21.219 --> 00:35:21.759
 through this

00:35:21.759 --> 00:35:22.319
 death a

00:35:22.319 --> 00:35:22.739
 whole new

00:35:22.739 --> 00:35:23.639
 people, the

00:35:23.639 --> 00:35:24.179
 church.

00:35:26.859 --> 00:35:27.639
 We need to

00:35:27.639 --> 00:35:27.960
 be thinking

00:35:27.960 --> 00:35:28.819
 about Christ's

00:35:28.819 --> 00:35:30.019
 death as

00:35:30.019 --> 00:35:30.759
 the ultimate

00:35:30.759 --> 00:35:31.480
 Passover

00:35:31.480 --> 00:35:32.920
 sacrifice that

00:35:32.920 --> 00:35:33.719
 has launched

00:35:33.719 --> 00:35:35.019
 a whole new

00:35:35.019 --> 00:35:35.799
 season of

00:35:35.799 --> 00:35:36.920
 salvation on

00:35:36.920 --> 00:35:37.279
 earth.

00:35:37.280 --> 00:35:42.500
 I want to

00:35:42.500 --> 00:35:43.420
 help apply

00:35:43.420 --> 00:35:44.340
 this in

00:35:44.340 --> 00:35:45.000
 three ways.

00:35:47.540 --> 00:35:48.560
 First, I

00:35:48.560 --> 00:35:49.100
 want you to

00:35:49.100 --> 00:35:50.019
 realize that

00:35:50.019 --> 00:35:51.360
 this sacrifice

00:35:51.360 --> 00:35:52.160
 that Jesus

00:35:52.160 --> 00:35:53.019
 speaks of,

00:35:54.180 --> 00:35:55.080
 he's your

00:35:55.080 --> 00:35:55.940
 sacrifice.

00:35:58.640 --> 00:35:58.780
 In

00:35:58.780 --> 00:35:59.200
 Matthew,

00:36:00.240 --> 00:36:00.780
 Matthew

00:36:00.780 --> 00:36:01.460
 begins in

00:36:01.460 --> 00:36:02.140
 Matthew 1

00:36:02.140 --> 00:36:03.640
 with this

00:36:03.640 --> 00:36:05.600
 Emmanuel who

00:36:05.600 --> 00:36:05.940
 is going to

00:36:05.940 --> 00:36:06.420
 be named

00:36:06.420 --> 00:36:07.220
 Jesus.

00:36:08.480 --> 00:36:09.079
 The Lord

00:36:09.079 --> 00:36:09.700
 saves.

00:36:11.260 --> 00:36:11.840
 He will

00:36:11.840 --> 00:36:12.320
 deliver his

00:36:12.320 --> 00:36:12.840
 people from

00:36:12.840 --> 00:36:13.400
 their sins.

00:36:13.860 --> 00:36:14.180
 And then for

00:36:14.180 --> 00:36:14.900
 the rest of

00:36:14.900 --> 00:36:15.740
 Matthew, you

00:36:15.740 --> 00:36:16.480
 have these

00:36:16.480 --> 00:36:17.940
 passion

00:36:17.940 --> 00:36:19.059
 predictions of

00:36:19.059 --> 00:36:19.780
 how God

00:36:19.780 --> 00:36:20.460
 will save

00:36:20.460 --> 00:36:21.019
 his people.

00:36:21.579 --> 00:36:22.099
 And it's

00:36:22.099 --> 00:36:23.360
 finally realized

00:36:23.360 --> 00:36:24.659
 here, Matthew

00:36:24.659 --> 00:36:25.639
 26 and

00:36:25.639 --> 00:36:26.260
 27.

00:36:27.300 --> 00:36:28.240
 He is

00:36:28.240 --> 00:36:29.619
 the sacrifice.

00:36:30.500 --> 00:36:31.360
 He is

00:36:31.360 --> 00:36:32.280
 the one

00:36:32.280 --> 00:36:33.519
 who would

00:36:33.519 --> 00:36:34.440
 sacrifice himself

00:36:34.440 --> 00:36:35.119
 for his

00:36:35.119 --> 00:36:36.019
 people as

00:36:36.019 --> 00:36:36.780
 a ransom.

00:36:40.260 --> 00:36:41.139
 So it

00:36:41.139 --> 00:36:41.760
 fulfills

00:36:41.760 --> 00:36:43.440
 Matthew's

00:36:43.440 --> 00:36:44.240
 purpose.

00:36:45.539 --> 00:36:46.099
 This one

00:36:46.099 --> 00:36:46.420
 who would

00:36:46.420 --> 00:36:48.300
 save, saves

00:36:48.300 --> 00:36:49.139
 by being a

00:36:49.139 --> 00:36:49.559
 Passover

00:36:49.559 --> 00:36:50.300
 sacrifice.

00:36:51.300 --> 00:36:52.059
 But it's

00:36:52.059 --> 00:36:52.400
 just not

00:36:52.400 --> 00:36:52.880
 Matthew.

00:36:53.280 --> 00:36:53.800
 There's this

00:36:53.800 --> 00:36:54.500
 whole Old

00:36:54.500 --> 00:36:56.099
 Testament story

00:36:56.099 --> 00:36:57.340
 of Passover

00:36:57.340 --> 00:36:58.320
 beginning in

00:36:58.320 --> 00:36:59.200
 Exodus chapter

00:36:59.200 --> 00:36:59.820
 12.

00:37:00.300 --> 00:37:01.039
 God delivers

00:37:01.039 --> 00:37:01.840
 his people and

00:37:01.840 --> 00:37:02.700
 it was a real

00:37:02.699 --> 00:37:03.359
 deliverance.

00:37:04.960 --> 00:37:05.759
 But God

00:37:05.759 --> 00:37:07.079
 also had

00:37:07.079 --> 00:37:07.899
 that aimed

00:37:07.899 --> 00:37:08.599
 at being

00:37:08.599 --> 00:37:09.259
 ultimately

00:37:09.259 --> 00:37:10.619
 fulfilled in

00:37:10.619 --> 00:37:11.639
 the ultimate

00:37:11.639 --> 00:37:12.279
 Passover

00:37:12.279 --> 00:37:13.159
 sacrifice,

00:37:13.679 --> 00:37:14.019
 Jesus.

00:37:14.559 --> 00:37:15.139
 A greater

00:37:15.139 --> 00:37:16.299
 sacrifice to

00:37:16.299 --> 00:37:16.980
 accomplish a

00:37:16.980 --> 00:37:17.759
 greater deliverance

00:37:17.759 --> 00:37:18.639
 for a greater

00:37:18.639 --> 00:37:19.139
 number of

00:37:19.139 --> 00:37:19.419
 people.

00:37:21.719 --> 00:37:21.859
 Do you

00:37:21.859 --> 00:37:22.719
 remember John

00:37:22.719 --> 00:37:23.179
 the Baptist

00:37:23.179 --> 00:37:24.079
 when he lays

00:37:24.079 --> 00:37:24.819
 eyes on Jesus

00:37:24.819 --> 00:37:25.619
 in John 1?

00:37:26.679 --> 00:37:27.559
 Behold, the

00:37:27.559 --> 00:37:28.119
 Lamb of God

00:37:28.119 --> 00:37:29.279
 who comes to

00:37:29.279 --> 00:37:30.059
 take away the

00:37:30.059 --> 00:37:30.539
 sins of the

00:37:30.539 --> 00:37:30.819
 world.

00:37:30.820 --> 00:37:33.280
 sacrifice.

00:37:34.620 --> 00:37:34.920
 Ultimate

00:37:34.920 --> 00:37:35.420
 Passover.

00:37:36.960 --> 00:37:38.059
 In 1 Corinthians

00:37:38.059 --> 00:37:39.100
 5, 7, the

00:37:39.100 --> 00:37:40.120
 Apostle Paul, he's

00:37:40.120 --> 00:37:41.160
 writing to a

00:37:41.160 --> 00:37:42.380
 primarily Gentile

00:37:42.380 --> 00:37:42.900
 church.

00:37:43.260 --> 00:37:43.920
 He says to

00:37:43.920 --> 00:37:44.680
 them, for

00:37:44.680 --> 00:37:46.440
 Christ, our

00:37:46.440 --> 00:37:47.400
 Passover

00:37:47.400 --> 00:37:48.860
 Lamb has

00:37:48.860 --> 00:37:49.900
 been sacrificed.

00:37:51.260 --> 00:37:51.980
 He's paid

00:37:51.980 --> 00:37:52.200
 it.

00:37:53.140 --> 00:37:54.000
 It's done.

00:37:55.940 --> 00:37:56.860
 This morning, I

00:37:56.860 --> 00:37:57.960
 want you to

00:37:57.960 --> 00:37:58.920
 realize if you're

00:37:58.920 --> 00:37:59.580
 a believer in

00:37:59.579 --> 00:38:00.900
 this room, the

00:38:00.900 --> 00:38:01.679
 sacrifice has

00:38:01.679 --> 00:38:02.559
 been made.

00:38:03.500 --> 00:38:04.340
 It's over.

00:38:05.699 --> 00:38:06.420
 He's delivered

00:38:06.420 --> 00:38:06.819
 you.

00:38:07.960 --> 00:38:09.179
 God's wrath has

00:38:09.179 --> 00:38:10.400
 passed over you.

00:38:11.420 --> 00:38:12.360
 He's called you

00:38:12.360 --> 00:38:13.500
 out and delivered

00:38:13.500 --> 00:38:14.539
 you from captivity

00:38:14.539 --> 00:38:15.179
 to sin.

00:38:15.860 --> 00:38:16.659
 And he's brought

00:38:16.659 --> 00:38:17.480
 you into the

00:38:17.480 --> 00:38:18.420
 sweetness of being

00:38:18.420 --> 00:38:19.360
 in relationship with

00:38:19.360 --> 00:38:21.159
 him amongst the

00:38:21.159 --> 00:38:21.840
 new people of the

00:38:21.840 --> 00:38:22.239
 church.

00:38:22.239 --> 00:38:22.279
 church.

00:38:23.500 --> 00:38:24.619
 If you're in this

00:38:24.619 --> 00:38:25.759
 room and you

00:38:25.759 --> 00:38:27.719
 have not received

00:38:27.719 --> 00:38:28.759
 Christ as your

00:38:28.759 --> 00:38:29.839
 Savior and King,

00:38:30.259 --> 00:38:30.859
 you need to

00:38:30.859 --> 00:38:32.359
 realize God is

00:38:32.359 --> 00:38:33.819
 offering you today

00:38:33.819 --> 00:38:34.799
 this sacrifice.

00:38:36.299 --> 00:38:37.419
 It's available

00:38:37.419 --> 00:38:40.079
 and effectual.

00:38:41.079 --> 00:38:42.079
 It will change

00:38:42.079 --> 00:38:42.299
 you.

00:38:44.839 --> 00:38:46.259
 This sacrifice

00:38:46.259 --> 00:38:48.339
 is your sacrifice.

00:38:49.019 --> 00:38:50.259
 His Passover

00:38:50.260 --> 00:38:51.600
 sacrifice is

00:38:51.600 --> 00:38:52.100
 for you.

00:38:52.820 --> 00:38:53.780
 And it's God's

00:38:53.780 --> 00:38:55.120
 eternal plan that

00:38:55.120 --> 00:38:55.740
 he sovereignly

00:38:55.740 --> 00:38:56.320
 accomplished.

00:38:57.680 --> 00:38:58.600
 The second thing

00:38:58.600 --> 00:38:59.140
 I want you to

00:38:59.140 --> 00:39:00.380
 see is by way

00:39:00.380 --> 00:39:01.080
 of resolution.

00:39:06.060 --> 00:39:06.500
 Caiaphas,

00:39:07.420 --> 00:39:07.740
 Judas,

00:39:08.260 --> 00:39:09.380
 they betrayed

00:39:09.380 --> 00:39:10.640
 Jesus.

00:39:11.300 --> 00:39:11.660
 They were

00:39:11.660 --> 00:39:12.540
 opposed to him.

00:39:12.900 --> 00:39:13.540
 The disciples,

00:39:14.040 --> 00:39:14.500
 they were at

00:39:14.500 --> 00:39:15.280
 best indifferent.

00:39:16.080 --> 00:39:16.560
 And what we're

00:39:16.560 --> 00:39:17.040
 going to see in

00:39:17.040 --> 00:39:17.700
 the rest of this

00:39:17.700 --> 00:39:18.720
 story is that

00:39:18.720 --> 00:39:20.080
 these disciples are

00:39:20.079 --> 00:39:20.599
 going to fall

00:39:20.599 --> 00:39:22.119
 away in cowardice.

00:39:22.960 --> 00:39:23.719
 And it's not

00:39:23.719 --> 00:39:24.599
 until after the

00:39:24.599 --> 00:39:25.599
 resurrection with

00:39:25.599 --> 00:39:26.319
 an outpouring of

00:39:26.319 --> 00:39:27.059
 the Holy Spirit,

00:39:27.440 --> 00:39:28.460
 these cowardly

00:39:28.460 --> 00:39:29.739
 disciples are made

00:39:29.739 --> 00:39:30.519
 courageous

00:39:30.519 --> 00:39:31.599
 proclaimers.

00:39:33.360 --> 00:39:34.500
 But it's this

00:39:34.500 --> 00:39:36.679
 woman that we

00:39:36.679 --> 00:39:37.440
 must resolve to

00:39:37.440 --> 00:39:40.139
 be like, to line

00:39:40.139 --> 00:39:42.039
 up with Christ's

00:39:42.039 --> 00:39:42.519
 purposes.

00:39:44.519 --> 00:39:46.000
 Her heart was

00:39:46.000 --> 00:39:47.539
 one of a humble

00:39:47.539 --> 00:39:49.000
 worship of her

00:39:49.000 --> 00:39:49.719
 Christ.

00:39:50.679 --> 00:39:52.420
 She was giving

00:39:52.420 --> 00:39:53.099
 him the best

00:39:53.099 --> 00:39:53.960
 she could at

00:39:53.960 --> 00:39:54.579
 the time.

00:39:56.460 --> 00:39:57.179
 And man, she

00:39:57.179 --> 00:39:57.760
 got criticized

00:39:57.760 --> 00:39:58.420
 for it.

00:40:01.159 --> 00:40:01.860
 But Jesus

00:40:01.860 --> 00:40:02.480
 defended her.

00:40:04.039 --> 00:40:04.679
 I don't know

00:40:04.679 --> 00:40:05.239
 where you are

00:40:05.239 --> 00:40:05.659
 in the room.

00:40:07.340 --> 00:40:08.019
 I don't know

00:40:08.019 --> 00:40:08.320
 what you're

00:40:08.320 --> 00:40:08.960
 thinking about in

00:40:08.960 --> 00:40:09.739
 terms of giving

00:40:09.739 --> 00:40:10.659
 to Jesus your

00:40:10.659 --> 00:40:11.139
 best.

00:40:12.579 --> 00:40:13.260
 But let me

00:40:13.260 --> 00:40:14.059
 urge you, give

00:40:14.059 --> 00:40:15.119
 him everything.

00:40:16.380 --> 00:40:17.619
 Give him your

00:40:17.619 --> 00:40:19.219
 entire life.

00:40:20.639 --> 00:40:21.960
 Live for him.

00:40:22.480 --> 00:40:23.199
 And if you get

00:40:23.199 --> 00:40:24.679
 criticized for

00:40:24.679 --> 00:40:26.299
 being too loud or

00:40:26.299 --> 00:40:27.980
 too lavish, do you

00:40:27.980 --> 00:40:28.460
 know what?

00:40:30.139 --> 00:40:31.099
 Jesus will take

00:40:31.099 --> 00:40:31.500
 care of you.

00:40:33.599 --> 00:40:34.699
 Leave it to your

00:40:34.699 --> 00:40:35.139
 Lord.

00:40:37.519 --> 00:40:38.500
 Here's a New Year's

00:40:38.500 --> 00:40:38.960
 resolution.

00:40:40.239 --> 00:40:41.420
 Here's a life

00:40:41.420 --> 00:40:42.039
 resolution.

00:40:42.039 --> 00:40:44.500
 just like this

00:40:44.500 --> 00:40:45.380
 unnamed woman

00:40:45.380 --> 00:40:46.500
 who did a

00:40:46.500 --> 00:40:47.119
 beautiful thing

00:40:47.119 --> 00:40:47.719
 to Jesus.

00:40:48.759 --> 00:40:49.460
 Would you line

00:40:49.460 --> 00:40:50.279
 up your life

00:40:50.279 --> 00:40:50.880
 with him?

00:40:52.239 --> 00:40:52.980
 Line it up

00:40:52.980 --> 00:40:53.400
 with his

00:40:53.400 --> 00:40:53.880
 purposes.

00:40:54.400 --> 00:40:55.059
 And he will

00:40:55.059 --> 00:40:55.679
 take what you

00:40:55.679 --> 00:40:56.579
 give him and

00:40:56.579 --> 00:40:57.559
 he will use it

00:40:57.559 --> 00:40:58.400
 for his glory.

00:41:02.179 --> 00:41:03.079
 The last piece

00:41:03.079 --> 00:41:03.699
 of application

00:41:03.699 --> 00:41:06.019
 is

00:41:06.019 --> 00:41:07.000
 encouragement.

00:41:07.000 --> 00:41:09.960
 all throughout

00:41:09.960 --> 00:41:10.800
 this particular

00:41:10.800 --> 00:41:11.500
 section, you

00:41:11.500 --> 00:41:12.920
 see Team

00:41:12.920 --> 00:41:13.860
 Caiaphas and

00:41:13.860 --> 00:41:14.639
 you see the

00:41:14.639 --> 00:41:16.039
 betrayer and

00:41:16.039 --> 00:41:16.719
 you see the

00:41:16.719 --> 00:41:17.679
 indifferent

00:41:17.679 --> 00:41:19.099
 disciples and

00:41:19.099 --> 00:41:19.719
 you even see

00:41:19.719 --> 00:41:20.539
 this incredible

00:41:20.539 --> 00:41:21.280
 outpouring of

00:41:21.280 --> 00:41:22.000
 devotion from

00:41:22.000 --> 00:41:22.519
 this unnamed

00:41:22.519 --> 00:41:22.900
 woman.

00:41:24.000 --> 00:41:25.059
 All of it

00:41:25.059 --> 00:41:26.599
 is being

00:41:26.599 --> 00:41:27.480
 sovereignly worked

00:41:27.480 --> 00:41:28.219
 out by God.

00:41:28.579 --> 00:41:29.159
 All of it.

00:41:30.179 --> 00:41:30.820
 All of it.

00:41:30.820 --> 00:41:34.260
 God is

00:41:34.260 --> 00:41:35.380
 working all

00:41:35.380 --> 00:41:36.320
 things out

00:41:36.320 --> 00:41:36.980
 in his

00:41:36.980 --> 00:41:37.539
 sovereign,

00:41:38.100 --> 00:41:39.320
 wise care.

00:41:40.559 --> 00:41:41.120
 God's

00:41:41.120 --> 00:41:41.900
 sovereignty is

00:41:41.900 --> 00:41:42.360
 not just

00:41:42.360 --> 00:41:43.340
 limited to a

00:41:43.340 --> 00:41:44.019
 week in

00:41:44.019 --> 00:41:45.280
 33 A.D.

00:41:46.240 --> 00:41:47.240
 God is

00:41:47.240 --> 00:41:47.780
 sovereign,

00:41:48.019 --> 00:41:48.500
 just as

00:41:48.500 --> 00:41:49.519
 sovereign now,

00:41:50.240 --> 00:41:51.039
 working out

00:41:51.039 --> 00:41:52.220
 circumstances

00:41:52.220 --> 00:41:53.620
 for those

00:41:53.620 --> 00:41:54.280
 who are

00:41:54.280 --> 00:41:55.260
 humble to

00:41:55.260 --> 00:41:56.080
 save.

00:41:58.420 --> 00:41:59.380
 So be

00:41:59.380 --> 00:42:00.019
 encouraged.

00:42:00.820 --> 00:42:02.680
 God is

00:42:02.680 --> 00:42:03.240
 as sovereign

00:42:03.240 --> 00:42:03.740
 as ever.

00:42:05.280 --> 00:42:05.840
 And if you

00:42:05.840 --> 00:42:06.960
 resolve to

00:42:06.960 --> 00:42:07.539
 line your

00:42:07.539 --> 00:42:08.360
 life up with

00:42:08.360 --> 00:42:09.420
 him, he

00:42:09.420 --> 00:42:10.519
 will make

00:42:10.519 --> 00:42:11.460
 much of it.

00:42:11.580 --> 00:42:12.220
 He will use

00:42:12.220 --> 00:42:12.680
 it for his

00:42:12.680 --> 00:42:14.740
 glory and

00:42:14.740 --> 00:42:15.680
 point others

00:42:15.680 --> 00:42:17.900
 to him.

00:42:20.300 --> 00:42:21.420
 Our great

00:42:21.420 --> 00:42:22.740
 Passover

00:42:22.740 --> 00:42:24.160
 sacrifice.

00:42:25.000 --> 00:42:25.840
 Let's pray.

00:42:28.740 --> 00:42:29.519
 God in

00:42:29.519 --> 00:42:29.820
 heaven,

00:42:30.820 --> 00:42:31.500
 God,

00:42:31.500 --> 00:42:32.920
 we ask

00:42:32.920 --> 00:42:33.360
 that you

00:42:33.360 --> 00:42:33.720
 would make

00:42:33.720 --> 00:42:34.180
 much of

00:42:34.180 --> 00:42:35.559
 yourself in

00:42:35.559 --> 00:42:35.900
 and through

00:42:35.900 --> 00:42:36.480
 us as your

00:42:36.480 --> 00:42:36.960
 church.

00:42:37.680 --> 00:42:38.080
 Lord, it

00:42:38.080 --> 00:42:38.800
 would be our

00:42:38.800 --> 00:42:40.539
 greatest joy to

00:42:40.539 --> 00:42:41.800
 think of you

00:42:41.800 --> 00:42:43.240
 saying to us,

00:42:43.780 --> 00:42:44.760
 you have done a

00:42:44.760 --> 00:42:45.740
 beautiful thing.

00:42:47.680 --> 00:42:48.720
 God, would you

00:42:48.720 --> 00:42:49.300
 help us

00:42:49.300 --> 00:42:50.559
 individually and as

00:42:50.559 --> 00:42:51.440
 a church to

00:42:51.440 --> 00:42:53.200
 line up our

00:42:53.200 --> 00:42:54.460
 lives with your

00:42:54.460 --> 00:42:55.519
 kingdom purposes,

00:42:55.519 --> 00:42:58.139
 to resolve today

00:42:58.139 --> 00:42:58.780
 and tomorrow

00:42:58.780 --> 00:43:00.179
 and however long

00:43:00.179 --> 00:43:01.119
 you give us to

00:43:01.119 --> 00:43:02.619
 be about your

00:43:02.619 --> 00:43:03.900
 fame, your

00:43:03.900 --> 00:43:05.380
 glory, your

00:43:05.380 --> 00:43:06.420
 redemptive purposes

00:43:06.420 --> 00:43:07.480
 around the world.

00:43:09.059 --> 00:43:10.159
 God, we don't

00:43:10.159 --> 00:43:11.320
 need notoriety.

00:43:12.780 --> 00:43:14.179
 We would rather go

00:43:14.179 --> 00:43:16.199
 unnamed so that

00:43:16.199 --> 00:43:17.880
 your name is

00:43:17.880 --> 00:43:20.059
 glorified among all

00:43:20.059 --> 00:43:20.460
 people.

00:43:20.460 --> 00:43:21.039
 forcómo.

00:43:21.539 --> 00:43:21.960
 It's in the name

00:43:21.960 --> 00:43:22.340
 of Jesus

00:43:22.340 --> 00:43:22.900
 we pray.

00:43:23.260 --> 00:43:24.300
 Amen.
