00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:11.939
 1-0-5-8 in the Church Bible, starting in verse 47.

00:00:13.640 --> 00:00:21.120
 While he was still speaking, a crowd came up, and the man who was called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them.

00:00:21.780 --> 00:00:24.179
 He approached Jesus to kiss him.

00:00:24.780 --> 00:00:29.940
 But Jesus asked him, Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?

00:00:30.839 --> 00:00:36.740
 When Jesus' followers saw what was going to happen, they said, Lord, should we strike with our swords?

00:00:37.619 --> 00:00:41.679
 And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear.

00:00:42.359 --> 00:00:46.359
 But Jesus answered, no, more of this, no more of this.

00:00:46.379 --> 00:00:48.219
 And he touched the man's ear and healed him.

00:00:48.820 --> 00:00:54.760
 Then Jesus said to the chief priests, the officers of the temple guard, and the elders who had come for him,

00:00:55.299 --> 00:00:58.560
 Am I leading a rebellion, that you have come with swords and clubs?

00:00:58.560 --> 00:01:02.940
 Every day I was with you in the temple courts, and you did not lay a hand on me.

00:01:03.300 --> 00:01:06.560
 But this is your hour, when darkness reigns.

00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:11.640
 Then seizing him, they led him away and took him into the house of the high priest.

00:01:12.340 --> 00:01:17.640
 Peter followed at a distance, and when some there had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard

00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:20.920
 and had sat down together, Peter sat down with them.

00:01:20.920 --> 00:01:24.519
 A servant girl saw him seated there in the firelight.

00:01:25.099 --> 00:01:28.859
 She looked closely at him and said, this man was with him.

00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:30.540
 But he denied it.

00:01:30.780 --> 00:01:32.920
 Woman, I don't know him, he said.

00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:38.560
 A little later, someone else saw him and said, you also are one of them.

00:01:39.140 --> 00:01:41.260
 Man, I am not, Peter replied.

00:01:42.340 --> 00:01:51.040
 About an hour later, another asserted, certainly this fellow was with him, for he is a Galilean.

00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:55.120
 Peter replied, man, I don't know what you're talking about.

00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:57.900
 Just as he was speaking, the cock crowed.

00:01:57.900 --> 00:02:00.859
 The Lord turned and looked straight at Peter.

00:02:01.540 --> 00:02:04.540
 Then Peter remembered the word of the Lord had spoken to him.

00:02:05.160 --> 00:02:09.180
 Before the cock crows today, you will disown me three times.

00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:12.460
 And he went outside and wept bitterly.

00:02:21.640 --> 00:02:22.560
 Let's pray.

00:02:27.900 --> 00:02:45.439
 Father, thank you for this account of the Lord Jesus and his followers.

00:02:47.500 --> 00:02:54.819
 Written to tell us the true events of the life of Jesus.

00:02:54.819 --> 00:03:15.259
 Father, we pray that we, as we listen together, would be able to enter into this account.

00:03:17.099 --> 00:03:21.759
 That you would show us where we fit in this story.

00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:31.399
 And ultimately, that you would show us how we desperately need the Lord Jesus.

00:03:34.639 --> 00:03:37.579
 So speak afresh to us today.

00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:41.259
 We ask in your name. Amen.

00:03:41.259 --> 00:03:50.060
 Well, how do you feel when people hurt you?

00:03:52.359 --> 00:03:55.039
 When a friend turns their back on you?

00:03:55.539 --> 00:03:59.280
 Or someone breaks a promise they've made to you?

00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:01.919
 How do you feel when that happens?

00:04:03.579 --> 00:04:04.840
 Isolated and alone?

00:04:05.780 --> 00:04:07.039
 Broken and crushed?

00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:12.699
 What do you think should happen to someone who hurts you?

00:04:15.780 --> 00:04:19.300
 Well, Jesus had a close circle of friends, the disciples.

00:04:20.139 --> 00:04:21.879
 Carefully chosen by Jesus.

00:04:22.039 --> 00:04:25.800
 They'd lived and worked together for the last three years.

00:04:26.500 --> 00:04:29.779
 They'd been through some amazing experiences together.

00:04:29.779 --> 00:04:32.959
 We could say they trusted one another.

00:04:34.239 --> 00:04:41.139
 But those who claimed to be his closest friends all deserted Jesus.

00:04:41.979 --> 00:04:46.879
 In fact, one betrayed Jesus and another denied Jesus.

00:04:48.559 --> 00:04:51.019
 Three things we're going to look at this morning.

00:04:51.019 --> 00:04:54.620
 Darkness falls.

00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:57.560
 Disciples fail.

00:04:58.579 --> 00:05:00.299
 And grace flows.

00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:04.779
 First of all, darkness falls.

00:05:06.699 --> 00:05:08.180
 It is night.

00:05:09.339 --> 00:05:10.539
 It's dark.

00:05:11.799 --> 00:05:15.339
 Jesus is with his disciples in the olive grove.

00:05:15.979 --> 00:05:17.279
 He's been there praying.

00:05:17.279 --> 00:05:20.759
 But it's not just the darkness of the night.

00:05:22.179 --> 00:05:25.019
 There is the darkness of Satan's work.

00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:30.819
 In just a few hours, Jesus will be put to death, brutally executed.

00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:33.419
 But first, his arrest.

00:05:34.019 --> 00:05:35.179
 Look at verse 52.

00:05:35.180 --> 00:05:43.459
 Then Jesus said to the chief priests, the officers of the temple guard, and the elders who had come for him,

00:05:43.699 --> 00:05:45.459
 that is, had come to arrest him,

00:05:46.459 --> 00:05:50.220
 Am I leading a rebellion that you come with swords and clubs?

00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:54.300
 Look, every day I was with you in the temple courts,

00:05:54.780 --> 00:05:57.199
 and you did not lay a hand on me.

00:05:57.199 --> 00:06:04.519
 But this is your hour when darkness reigns.

00:06:05.319 --> 00:06:10.199
 Yes, the religious authorities have been plotting and planning to get rid of Jesus.

00:06:11.079 --> 00:06:14.980
 But behind their schemes is this sinister work of Satan.

00:06:15.500 --> 00:06:17.439
 As it says at the end of verse 53,

00:06:17.899 --> 00:06:22.199
 This is your hour when darkness reigns.

00:06:22.199 --> 00:06:28.379
 Of course, Satan has been present all along through the account of Luke's gospel.

00:06:29.039 --> 00:06:31.120
 Way back in Luke chapter 3,

00:06:31.599 --> 00:06:35.539
 we read of Satan's temptation of Jesus in the wilderness.

00:06:36.180 --> 00:06:38.159
 This is how Luke records it.

00:06:38.919 --> 00:06:41.740
 When the devil had finished all this tempting,

00:06:42.459 --> 00:06:46.279
 he left him until an opportune time.

00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:52.039
 And it seems that now that time has come.

00:06:52.839 --> 00:06:55.859
 The hour of darkness reigns.

00:06:56.139 --> 00:07:02.299
 All the forces of evil are coming together under the direction of Satan.

00:07:03.359 --> 00:07:07.339
 Have a look back at chapter 22, verse 3.

00:07:10.679 --> 00:07:14.639
 There we read, chapter 22, verse 3,

00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:22.319
 Then Satan entered Judas, called Iscariot, one of the twelve.

00:07:23.339 --> 00:07:24.560
 Verse 31.

00:07:28.740 --> 00:07:35.099
 Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift all of you as wheat.

00:07:36.300 --> 00:07:38.339
 This is what Satan does.

00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:43.019
 His aim is to destroy the work of Jesus and his followers.

00:07:43.019 --> 00:07:47.799
 But what Satan sets out to achieve,

00:07:48.939 --> 00:07:54.519
 let us remember, it is ultimately under the control and the plan of God.

00:07:55.399 --> 00:07:56.560
 God allows.

00:07:56.719 --> 00:08:02.459
 It's like he gives permission for these evil forces to kill Jesus.

00:08:02.839 --> 00:08:04.680
 That's why Jesus says to them,

00:08:05.339 --> 00:08:06.719
 This is your hour.

00:08:07.379 --> 00:08:12.019
 This is your allotted time when darkness reigns.

00:08:13.019 --> 00:08:16.479
 Oh, you had that opportunity to arrest me,

00:08:17.159 --> 00:08:19.219
 but it wasn't my time.

00:08:20.539 --> 00:08:22.039
 But now you can.

00:08:23.000 --> 00:08:28.120
 For now this is the hour, the time when darkness reigns.

00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:38.240
 But little do they know that the death of Jesus is the means by which he will destroy and defeat the work of Satan

00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:43.039
 and provide salvation for all who will trust him.

00:08:44.480 --> 00:08:46.840
 So as Jesus heads to the cross,

00:08:47.840 --> 00:08:50.179
 the darkness falls.

00:08:50.179 --> 00:08:53.079
 Second,

00:08:53.079 --> 00:08:55.979
 the disciples fail.

00:08:55.979 --> 00:08:58.239
 As the evil forces scheme,

00:08:59.120 --> 00:09:01.659
 those closest to Jesus fail.

00:09:02.199 --> 00:09:02.839
 First,

00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:05.439
 betrayed by a kiss.

00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:07.739
 It couldn't have come at a worse time.

00:09:08.259 --> 00:09:08.620
 Remember,

00:09:08.799 --> 00:09:12.039
 Jesus has just faced the reality of going to the cross.

00:09:13.059 --> 00:09:15.199
 He will have to drink the cup.

00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:17.940
 He's going to face God's judgment.

00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:20.280
 He will experience hell.

00:09:21.820 --> 00:09:25.240
 Jesus is in physical and emotional breakdown.

00:09:26.220 --> 00:09:27.800
 Back in verse 44,

00:09:27.980 --> 00:09:33.379
 we're told that his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.

00:09:34.120 --> 00:09:34.500
 So,

00:09:34.759 --> 00:09:36.220
 if you need support,

00:09:36.620 --> 00:09:37.920
 now is the time.

00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:42.439
 You need your friends at this moment to gather around you,

00:09:42.959 --> 00:09:44.120
 to support you,

00:09:44.240 --> 00:09:45.199
 to pray for you,

00:09:45.319 --> 00:09:46.439
 to be there.

00:09:47.959 --> 00:09:50.059
 But that's not what happens.

00:09:50.919 --> 00:09:51.959
 Verse 47,

00:09:53.019 --> 00:09:55.000
 while he was still speaking,

00:09:55.839 --> 00:09:57.240
 a crowd came up

00:09:57.240 --> 00:10:00.120
 and the man who was called Judas,

00:10:00.219 --> 00:10:01.319
 one of the twelve,

00:10:02.179 --> 00:10:03.219
 was leading them.

00:10:04.539 --> 00:10:06.579
 Judas is one of the disciples.

00:10:06.580 --> 00:10:09.100
 What's he up to?

00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:11.660
 Why is he with this crowd?

00:10:11.820 --> 00:10:14.680
 Why wasn't he with the other disciples?

00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:16.860
 Well,

00:10:16.920 --> 00:10:19.139
 look back to the beginning of chapter 22,

00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:20.780
 verse 1.

00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:27.440
 Chapter 22,

00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:28.000
 verse 1.

00:10:28.060 --> 00:10:28.220
 Now,

00:10:28.280 --> 00:10:30.540
 the festival of unleavened bread,

00:10:30.680 --> 00:10:31.740
 called the Passover.

00:10:32.480 --> 00:10:32.879
 Remember,

00:10:32.980 --> 00:10:34.780
 the Passover was the time,

00:10:34.779 --> 00:10:36.620
 the annual celebration

00:10:36.620 --> 00:10:40.439
 of that great rescue from Egypt.

00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:43.199
 The rescue from slavery.

00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:44.579
 That's what they're celebrating.

00:10:45.839 --> 00:10:46.179
 So,

00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:48.600
 the festival was approaching.

00:10:48.779 --> 00:10:49.220
 Verse 2,

00:10:49.279 --> 00:10:50.379
 and the chief priests

00:10:50.379 --> 00:10:51.699
 and the teachers of the law

00:10:51.699 --> 00:10:53.279
 were looking for some way

00:10:53.279 --> 00:10:54.459
 to get rid of Jesus,

00:10:54.600 --> 00:10:56.299
 for they were afraid of the people.

00:10:56.299 --> 00:11:00.659
 Then Satan entered Judas.

00:11:01.459 --> 00:11:01.879
 That is,

00:11:01.899 --> 00:11:03.479
 he came and tempted him.

00:11:03.899 --> 00:11:04.899
 Called Iscariot,

00:11:04.979 --> 00:11:05.759
 one of the twelve.

00:11:06.120 --> 00:11:08.299
 And Judas went to the chief priests

00:11:08.299 --> 00:11:10.179
 and the officers of the temple guard

00:11:10.179 --> 00:11:12.159
 and discussed with them

00:11:12.159 --> 00:11:13.759
 how he might betray Jesus.

00:11:14.079 --> 00:11:15.240
 And they were delighted

00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:17.240
 and agreed to give Judas money.

00:11:18.959 --> 00:11:20.259
 Judas consented

00:11:20.259 --> 00:11:22.859
 and watched for an opportunity

00:11:22.860 --> 00:11:24.899
 to hand Jesus over to them

00:11:24.899 --> 00:11:28.019
 when no crowd was present.

00:11:30.180 --> 00:11:31.879
 There is nothing worse

00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:34.919
 than the betrayal of a friend

00:11:34.919 --> 00:11:36.800
 that you love.

00:11:38.879 --> 00:11:41.139
 And then the betrayal happened.

00:11:42.379 --> 00:11:44.120
 Look at verse 47.

00:11:44.120 --> 00:11:45.919
 The end of verse 47.

00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:53.039
 Judas approached Jesus

00:11:53.039 --> 00:11:54.259
 to kiss him.

00:11:55.099 --> 00:11:56.399
 But Jesus asked him,

00:11:57.079 --> 00:11:57.399
 Judas,

00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:00.579
 are you betraying the Son of Man

00:12:00.579 --> 00:12:01.379
 with a kiss?

00:12:02.419 --> 00:12:03.360
 A kiss

00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:05.539
 is for a friend,

00:12:06.500 --> 00:12:07.899
 someone you love.

00:12:08.839 --> 00:12:10.059
 The only other time

00:12:10.059 --> 00:12:12.459
 a kiss is mentioned in Luke,

00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:15.099
 I wonder if you can remember it,

00:12:15.100 --> 00:12:17.340
 is when the sinful woman

00:12:17.340 --> 00:12:20.019
 came into that crowd,

00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:21.659
 into Simon's house

00:12:21.659 --> 00:12:23.120
 and, well,

00:12:23.180 --> 00:12:24.519
 she kept kissing

00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:26.320
 Jesus' feet.

00:12:27.519 --> 00:12:28.720
 It was an expression

00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:30.500
 of deep love

00:12:30.500 --> 00:12:31.500
 and devotion.

00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:35.800
 But the kiss of Judas,

00:12:36.800 --> 00:12:37.940
 well, it was like

00:12:37.940 --> 00:12:39.360
 a stab in the back.

00:12:40.840 --> 00:12:43.259
 Judas betrayed Jesus.

00:12:43.259 --> 00:12:47.200
 How do you feel about Judas?

00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:50.259
 What do you think

00:12:50.259 --> 00:12:52.200
 should happen to him?

00:12:55.720 --> 00:12:57.720
 Well, the most disturbing thing

00:12:57.720 --> 00:12:58.860
 in all of this is,

00:12:59.860 --> 00:13:00.980
 I am Judas.

00:13:02.799 --> 00:13:04.500
 And you are Judas.

00:13:05.939 --> 00:13:08.259
 Because we all betray Jesus.

00:13:08.259 --> 00:13:08.759
 Jesus.

00:13:09.759 --> 00:13:11.639
 Look again what Judas did

00:13:11.639 --> 00:13:13.559
 back in chapter 22,

00:13:13.740 --> 00:13:14.319
 verse 4.

00:13:17.120 --> 00:13:18.200
 Judas went

00:13:18.200 --> 00:13:19.700
 to the chief priests

00:13:19.700 --> 00:13:20.700
 and the officers

00:13:20.700 --> 00:13:21.919
 and the temple guard

00:13:21.919 --> 00:13:23.100
 and discussed with them.

00:13:23.179 --> 00:13:23.799
 They planned

00:13:23.799 --> 00:13:25.639
 and talked it through together

00:13:25.639 --> 00:13:27.939
 how he might betray Jesus.

00:13:29.580 --> 00:13:30.840
 And they were delighted

00:13:30.840 --> 00:13:32.580
 and agreed

00:13:32.580 --> 00:13:34.639
 to give him money.

00:13:34.639 --> 00:13:38.199
 Jesus had called Judas

00:13:38.199 --> 00:13:39.460
 to be a disciple.

00:13:40.720 --> 00:13:41.639
 They'd been together

00:13:41.639 --> 00:13:42.740
 for three years

00:13:42.740 --> 00:13:43.860
 as close friends.

00:13:44.419 --> 00:13:46.279
 Jesus was going to die

00:13:46.279 --> 00:13:46.980
 for Judas.

00:13:47.899 --> 00:13:49.240
 But for Judas,

00:13:49.480 --> 00:13:50.799
 Jesus wasn't enough.

00:13:51.159 --> 00:13:52.659
 He wanted something more.

00:13:53.080 --> 00:13:54.759
 He exchanged Jesus

00:13:54.759 --> 00:13:55.939
 for something else.

00:13:56.039 --> 00:13:56.879
 In this case,

00:13:57.120 --> 00:13:58.220
 he got money.

00:13:59.919 --> 00:14:01.740
 And that's what betrayal is.

00:14:01.740 --> 00:14:04.080
 It's turning your back

00:14:04.080 --> 00:14:05.240
 on someone else

00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:07.820
 to gain something else.

00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:11.320
 And that's what I do.

00:14:12.580 --> 00:14:13.919
 And that's what we do.

00:14:15.080 --> 00:14:17.320
 We turn our back on Jesus

00:14:17.320 --> 00:14:18.399
 to get the things

00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:19.220
 that we want.

00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:22.539
 Because Jesus doesn't give

00:14:22.539 --> 00:14:23.639
 what I demand

00:14:23.639 --> 00:14:24.740
 and what I want

00:14:24.740 --> 00:14:25.620
 when I want,

00:14:26.620 --> 00:14:27.759
 well, I betray him.

00:14:29.080 --> 00:14:30.860
 I turn my back on him.

00:14:31.740 --> 00:14:33.320
 We exchange him

00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:34.759
 for other things

00:14:34.759 --> 00:14:35.879
 and other people.

00:14:39.360 --> 00:14:40.940
 So there is the betrayal

00:14:40.940 --> 00:14:41.980
 by a kiss.

00:14:43.560 --> 00:14:45.180
 Second, there's denial

00:14:45.180 --> 00:14:46.100
 by lies.

00:14:47.139 --> 00:14:48.200
 You see, Judas wasn't

00:14:48.200 --> 00:14:48.840
 the only one

00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:49.720
 to turn his back

00:14:49.720 --> 00:14:50.259
 on Jesus.

00:14:51.320 --> 00:14:53.000
 In fact, Jesus said

00:14:53.000 --> 00:14:54.960
 that Peter would

00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:55.899
 deny him.

00:14:56.700 --> 00:14:57.919
 Peter is horrified

00:14:57.919 --> 00:14:59.220
 at the very thought of it.

00:14:59.220 --> 00:15:01.120
 Go back to chapter 22,

00:15:01.259 --> 00:15:02.139
 verse 33.

00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:08.720
 So Jesus has just said

00:15:08.720 --> 00:15:09.960
 to Peter

00:15:09.960 --> 00:15:10.639
 that he's going

00:15:10.639 --> 00:15:11.500
 to deny him.

00:15:11.860 --> 00:15:12.700
 Verse 33.

00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:14.279
 But Peter replied,

00:15:14.620 --> 00:15:14.940
 Lord,

00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:16.840
 I'm ready to go

00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:17.860
 with you to prison

00:15:17.860 --> 00:15:18.700
 and to death.

00:15:20.980 --> 00:15:21.960
 Jesus answered,

00:15:22.060 --> 00:15:22.899
 I tell you, Peter,

00:15:22.980 --> 00:15:24.540
 before the cock crows today,

00:15:25.180 --> 00:15:26.560
 you will deny

00:15:26.560 --> 00:15:27.720
 three times

00:15:27.720 --> 00:15:28.639
 that you know me.

00:15:30.139 --> 00:15:31.300
 What must Peter

00:15:31.300 --> 00:15:31.960
 have thought?

00:15:33.379 --> 00:15:35.080
 Jesus must be mad.

00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:37.000
 There's no way

00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:38.740
 I would turn

00:15:38.740 --> 00:15:40.200
 my back on Jesus.

00:15:42.120 --> 00:15:42.580
 Well, yeah,

00:15:42.680 --> 00:15:43.320
 others might,

00:15:43.460 --> 00:15:44.440
 but not me.

00:15:46.320 --> 00:15:47.820
 Well, in a few hours,

00:15:48.300 --> 00:15:49.740
 Peter had the chance

00:15:49.740 --> 00:15:50.860
 to prove himself.

00:15:51.860 --> 00:15:53.060
 Verse 54.

00:15:53.059 --> 00:15:56.879
 Then seizing Jesus,

00:15:57.039 --> 00:15:58.059
 they led him away

00:15:58.059 --> 00:15:58.679
 and took him

00:15:58.679 --> 00:15:59.439
 into a house

00:15:59.439 --> 00:16:00.500
 of the high priest.

00:16:02.119 --> 00:16:03.119
 Peter followed

00:16:03.119 --> 00:16:04.859
 at a distance.

00:16:06.739 --> 00:16:07.819
 And when some there

00:16:07.819 --> 00:16:08.859
 had kindled a fire

00:16:08.859 --> 00:16:09.359
 in the middle

00:16:09.359 --> 00:16:10.099
 of the courtyard

00:16:10.099 --> 00:16:11.359
 and had sat down

00:16:11.359 --> 00:16:11.839
 together,

00:16:13.359 --> 00:16:14.779
 Peter sat down

00:16:14.779 --> 00:16:15.659
 with them.

00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:19.439
 Just even in that

00:16:19.439 --> 00:16:20.259
 little phrase,

00:16:20.259 --> 00:16:21.439
 sitting down

00:16:21.440 --> 00:16:22.880
 with them,

00:16:23.720 --> 00:16:25.160
 he's become a part

00:16:25.160 --> 00:16:27.220
 of that little crowd.

00:16:28.460 --> 00:16:29.520
 A servant girl

00:16:29.520 --> 00:16:30.900
 saw him seated there

00:16:30.900 --> 00:16:31.700
 in the firelight.

00:16:32.380 --> 00:16:33.460
 She looked closely

00:16:33.460 --> 00:16:34.220
 at him and said,

00:16:34.780 --> 00:16:36.240
 this man

00:16:36.240 --> 00:16:37.520
 was with him.

00:16:39.440 --> 00:16:41.180
 But Peter denied it.

00:16:41.900 --> 00:16:42.300
 Woman,

00:16:42.820 --> 00:16:44.180
 I don't know him,

00:16:44.880 --> 00:16:45.480
 he said.

00:16:46.440 --> 00:16:47.220
 A little later,

00:16:47.360 --> 00:16:48.320
 someone else saw him

00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:48.680
 and said,

00:16:49.160 --> 00:16:49.540
 yes,

00:16:49.940 --> 00:16:50.420
 yes,

00:16:50.500 --> 00:16:50.760
 you,

00:16:50.879 --> 00:16:51.660
 you also

00:16:51.660 --> 00:16:52.480
 were one of them.

00:16:53.920 --> 00:16:54.700
 You're one

00:16:54.700 --> 00:16:55.760
 of those disciples.

00:16:57.080 --> 00:16:57.540
 Man,

00:16:57.620 --> 00:16:58.480
 I am not,

00:16:59.300 --> 00:17:00.040
 Peter replied.

00:17:02.500 --> 00:17:03.740
 About an hour

00:17:03.740 --> 00:17:04.440
 later,

00:17:04.600 --> 00:17:05.779
 another asserted,

00:17:06.740 --> 00:17:07.160
 yes,

00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:07.640
 certainly

00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:08.820
 this fellow

00:17:08.820 --> 00:17:09.519
 was with him,

00:17:09.740 --> 00:17:11.400
 for he is a Galilean.

00:17:11.980 --> 00:17:12.840
 I recognize

00:17:12.840 --> 00:17:13.700
 the accent.

00:17:14.240 --> 00:17:14.539
 Yes,

00:17:14.640 --> 00:17:15.400
 you're one

00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:16.220
 of those people.

00:17:17.900 --> 00:17:18.980
 Peter replied,

00:17:19.360 --> 00:17:19.720
 man,

00:17:19.759 --> 00:17:20.500
 I don't know

00:17:20.500 --> 00:17:20.960
 what you're

00:17:20.960 --> 00:17:21.800
 talking about.

00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:26.580
 We could perhaps

00:17:26.580 --> 00:17:27.640
 understand one

00:17:27.640 --> 00:17:28.120
 denial

00:17:28.120 --> 00:17:30.480
 and then kind of

00:17:30.480 --> 00:17:31.620
 remove yourself.

00:17:33.120 --> 00:17:34.340
 We might have a little

00:17:34.340 --> 00:17:35.720
 sympathy for two

00:17:35.720 --> 00:17:36.380
 denials,

00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:38.400
 but three?

00:17:40.259 --> 00:17:41.480
 Peter had at least

00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:42.880
 an hour to think

00:17:42.880 --> 00:17:43.680
 of what he might

00:17:43.680 --> 00:17:44.160
 say,

00:17:44.640 --> 00:17:45.400
 but when the

00:17:45.400 --> 00:17:46.220
 pressure came

00:17:46.220 --> 00:17:46.560
 on,

00:17:46.880 --> 00:17:47.920
 Peter crumbled

00:17:47.920 --> 00:17:48.680
 in a heap.

00:17:52.840 --> 00:17:54.080
 Just as he

00:17:54.080 --> 00:17:54.840
 was speaking,

00:17:56.780 --> 00:17:57.260
 the cock

00:17:57.260 --> 00:17:57.880
 crowed.

00:17:59.960 --> 00:18:00.980
 A few hours

00:18:00.980 --> 00:18:01.380
 earlier,

00:18:01.480 --> 00:18:02.140
 he was claiming

00:18:02.140 --> 00:18:03.260
 to be the strongest,

00:18:03.580 --> 00:18:04.100
 the greatest

00:18:04.100 --> 00:18:04.760
 disciple.

00:18:05.400 --> 00:18:05.780
 Lord,

00:18:05.880 --> 00:18:06.740
 I'm ready to go

00:18:06.740 --> 00:18:07.740
 with you to prison

00:18:07.740 --> 00:18:08.520
 and to death,

00:18:09.380 --> 00:18:10.920
 but when it

00:18:10.920 --> 00:18:11.680
 really mattered,

00:18:11.680 --> 00:18:13.200
 when it

00:18:13.200 --> 00:18:14.600
 really counted,

00:18:15.920 --> 00:18:16.920
 Peter couldn't

00:18:16.920 --> 00:18:17.720
 even bring

00:18:17.720 --> 00:18:18.640
 himself to say

00:18:18.640 --> 00:18:19.320
 that he just

00:18:19.320 --> 00:18:20.779
 knew Jesus.

00:18:23.720 --> 00:18:24.660
 He couldn't

00:18:24.660 --> 00:18:25.320
 say it.

00:18:28.480 --> 00:18:29.039
 Well,

00:18:29.080 --> 00:18:29.700
 I'm sure we

00:18:29.700 --> 00:18:30.299
 could all do

00:18:30.299 --> 00:18:30.900
 a lot better

00:18:30.900 --> 00:18:31.460
 than Peter,

00:18:31.580 --> 00:18:32.019
 couldn't we?

00:18:34.700 --> 00:18:35.259
 Well,

00:18:35.299 --> 00:18:35.700
 the sad

00:18:35.700 --> 00:18:36.740
 reality is,

00:18:37.100 --> 00:18:38.220
 I am just

00:18:38.220 --> 00:18:39.039
 like Peter.

00:18:39.039 --> 00:18:39.079
 Peter.

00:18:40.619 --> 00:18:41.759
 You are just

00:18:41.759 --> 00:18:42.440
 like Peter.

00:18:43.579 --> 00:18:44.480
 We all

00:18:44.480 --> 00:18:45.759
 deny Jesus.

00:18:46.940 --> 00:18:47.220
 Peter,

00:18:47.299 --> 00:18:47.519
 I mean,

00:18:47.599 --> 00:18:48.180
 Peter's not

00:18:48.180 --> 00:18:48.920
 stupid.

00:18:49.559 --> 00:18:50.200
 He knew what

00:18:50.200 --> 00:18:50.779
 was happening.

00:18:51.299 --> 00:18:52.059
 Jesus had been

00:18:52.059 --> 00:18:53.279
 saying all along

00:18:53.279 --> 00:18:53.960
 that he would

00:18:53.960 --> 00:18:54.639
 be arrested,

00:18:55.000 --> 00:18:55.659
 that he would

00:18:55.659 --> 00:18:56.200
 die,

00:18:56.759 --> 00:18:57.539
 and now he

00:18:57.539 --> 00:18:58.500
 realizes that

00:18:58.500 --> 00:18:59.599
 Jesus is going

00:18:59.599 --> 00:19:00.159
 to die.

00:19:01.019 --> 00:19:01.700
 And Peter

00:19:01.700 --> 00:19:02.539
 knows that if

00:19:02.539 --> 00:19:03.500
 he's associated

00:19:03.500 --> 00:19:04.399
 with Jesus,

00:19:04.819 --> 00:19:05.139
 well,

00:19:05.240 --> 00:19:06.319
 he might die

00:19:06.319 --> 00:19:06.839
 too.

00:19:08.379 --> 00:19:09.059
 And in the

00:19:09.059 --> 00:19:09.799
 cold and

00:19:09.799 --> 00:19:10.799
 dark reality

00:19:10.799 --> 00:19:11.279
 of the

00:19:11.279 --> 00:19:11.859
 courtyard,

00:19:13.319 --> 00:19:14.279
 Peter decides

00:19:14.279 --> 00:19:14.980
 that saving

00:19:14.980 --> 00:19:15.980
 his life is

00:19:15.980 --> 00:19:16.779
 more important

00:19:16.779 --> 00:19:17.379
 than loving

00:19:17.379 --> 00:19:17.839
 Jesus.

00:19:20.539 --> 00:19:21.439
 And we're

00:19:21.439 --> 00:19:22.079
 no different.

00:19:23.539 --> 00:19:24.379
 When the

00:19:24.379 --> 00:19:25.139
 pressure comes

00:19:25.139 --> 00:19:25.519
 on,

00:19:26.220 --> 00:19:27.480
 our life

00:19:27.480 --> 00:19:28.299
 becomes more

00:19:28.299 --> 00:19:29.099
 important than

00:19:29.099 --> 00:19:29.839
 loving Jesus.

00:19:31.000 --> 00:19:31.839
 If letting

00:19:31.839 --> 00:19:32.579
 people know

00:19:32.579 --> 00:19:32.899
 that,

00:19:33.079 --> 00:19:33.279
 well,

00:19:33.619 --> 00:19:33.899
 yes,

00:19:33.960 --> 00:19:34.379
 I'm a

00:19:34.379 --> 00:19:34.960
 Christian,

00:19:34.960 --> 00:19:36.700
 means that

00:19:36.700 --> 00:19:37.259
 life is

00:19:37.259 --> 00:19:37.620
 going to

00:19:37.620 --> 00:19:38.340
 be tough,

00:19:39.400 --> 00:19:40.140
 then I

00:19:40.140 --> 00:19:40.660
 choose

00:19:40.660 --> 00:19:41.720
 comfort.

00:19:43.059 --> 00:19:43.900
 If standing

00:19:43.900 --> 00:19:44.579
 up for what

00:19:44.579 --> 00:19:45.140
 I believe

00:19:45.140 --> 00:19:46.299
 means I

00:19:46.299 --> 00:19:47.059
 might lose

00:19:47.059 --> 00:19:47.700
 one of my

00:19:47.700 --> 00:19:48.440
 friends or

00:19:48.440 --> 00:19:50.079
 I might fall

00:19:50.079 --> 00:19:50.740
 out of favour

00:19:50.740 --> 00:19:51.279
 with my

00:19:51.279 --> 00:19:51.740
 boss,

00:19:53.860 --> 00:19:54.440
 well,

00:19:54.480 --> 00:19:54.940
 I'm going to

00:19:54.940 --> 00:19:55.460
 choose my

00:19:55.460 --> 00:19:56.180
 friends every

00:19:56.180 --> 00:19:56.579
 time.

00:19:57.720 --> 00:19:58.700
 We deny

00:19:58.700 --> 00:19:59.019
 him.

00:20:00.319 --> 00:20:01.200
 Our lives

00:20:01.200 --> 00:20:01.720
 are more

00:20:01.720 --> 00:20:02.340
 important

00:20:02.340 --> 00:20:04.240
 than loving

00:20:04.240 --> 00:20:04.700
 Jesus.

00:20:04.960 --> 00:20:07.600
 you see,

00:20:07.700 --> 00:20:08.259
 as followers

00:20:08.259 --> 00:20:09.200
 of Jesus,

00:20:10.600 --> 00:20:11.259
 in the

00:20:11.259 --> 00:20:12.299
 darkness of

00:20:12.299 --> 00:20:13.000
 temptation,

00:20:14.059 --> 00:20:15.019
 we all

00:20:15.019 --> 00:20:15.440
 fail.

00:20:19.940 --> 00:20:20.779
 The

00:20:20.779 --> 00:20:21.200
 darkness

00:20:21.200 --> 00:20:21.860
 falls,

00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:23.660
 the

00:20:23.660 --> 00:20:24.160
 disciples

00:20:24.160 --> 00:20:24.720
 fail,

00:20:26.480 --> 00:20:28.279
 but

00:20:28.279 --> 00:20:28.759
 wonderfully

00:20:28.759 --> 00:20:29.720
 grace flows.

00:20:29.720 --> 00:20:32.240
 Jesus

00:20:32.240 --> 00:20:32.960
 offers

00:20:32.960 --> 00:20:33.900
 grace.

00:20:35.160 --> 00:20:35.539
 Look at

00:20:35.539 --> 00:20:36.220
 how Jesus

00:20:36.220 --> 00:20:37.240
 responds to

00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:37.960
 all that is

00:20:37.960 --> 00:20:38.500
 going on.

00:20:38.640 --> 00:20:39.140
 Think of the

00:20:39.140 --> 00:20:40.519
 darkness that

00:20:40.519 --> 00:20:41.380
 is weighing in

00:20:41.380 --> 00:20:42.120
 upon him.

00:20:43.079 --> 00:20:43.839
 Think of the

00:20:43.839 --> 00:20:45.180
 failure of

00:20:45.180 --> 00:20:46.059
 those closest

00:20:46.059 --> 00:20:46.680
 to him,

00:20:46.740 --> 00:20:47.339
 and look at

00:20:47.339 --> 00:20:48.079
 how Jesus

00:20:48.079 --> 00:20:48.700
 responds.

00:20:51.100 --> 00:20:51.819
 Look at

00:20:51.819 --> 00:20:52.819
 verse 48.

00:20:52.819 --> 00:20:55.720
 Judas

00:20:55.720 --> 00:20:56.359
 approached

00:20:56.359 --> 00:20:57.059
 Jesus to

00:20:57.059 --> 00:20:57.579
 kiss him,

00:20:57.740 --> 00:20:58.339
 but Jesus

00:20:58.339 --> 00:20:59.019
 asked him,

00:20:59.619 --> 00:20:59.939
 Judas,

00:21:00.939 --> 00:21:01.779
 are you

00:21:01.779 --> 00:21:02.599
 betraying the

00:21:02.599 --> 00:21:02.980
 Son of

00:21:02.980 --> 00:21:03.439
 Man with

00:21:03.439 --> 00:21:03.939
 a kiss?

00:21:05.059 --> 00:21:05.859
 Are you

00:21:05.859 --> 00:21:06.539
 sure?

00:21:07.259 --> 00:21:07.960
 Are you

00:21:07.960 --> 00:21:08.480
 sure you

00:21:08.480 --> 00:21:09.059
 want to go

00:21:09.059 --> 00:21:09.599
 through with

00:21:09.599 --> 00:21:09.819
 this,

00:21:09.939 --> 00:21:10.139
 Judas?

00:21:11.139 --> 00:21:11.839
 Don't you

00:21:11.839 --> 00:21:12.619
 realise who

00:21:12.619 --> 00:21:13.099
 I am?

00:21:13.500 --> 00:21:14.200
 I am the

00:21:14.200 --> 00:21:14.599
 Son of

00:21:14.599 --> 00:21:14.939
 Man,

00:21:15.259 --> 00:21:15.579
 the one

00:21:15.579 --> 00:21:16.480
 with absolute

00:21:16.480 --> 00:21:17.439
 power and

00:21:17.439 --> 00:21:18.019
 supreme

00:21:18.019 --> 00:21:18.759
 authority.

00:21:19.179 --> 00:21:19.639
 I have

00:21:19.639 --> 00:21:20.319
 power to

00:21:20.319 --> 00:21:21.119
 judge you.

00:21:21.119 --> 00:21:23.279
 but I

00:21:23.279 --> 00:21:23.519
 have

00:21:23.519 --> 00:21:24.439
 authority to

00:21:24.439 --> 00:21:25.279
 forgive you.

00:21:26.439 --> 00:21:27.359
 There is

00:21:27.359 --> 00:21:28.239
 a way back

00:21:28.239 --> 00:21:28.819
 from this,

00:21:28.979 --> 00:21:29.259
 Judas.

00:21:30.339 --> 00:21:30.819
 Listen

00:21:30.819 --> 00:21:32.079
 to my

00:21:32.079 --> 00:21:32.619
 word of

00:21:32.619 --> 00:21:33.099
 grace.

00:21:36.619 --> 00:21:37.619
 The same

00:21:37.619 --> 00:21:38.579
 opportunity is

00:21:38.579 --> 00:21:39.059
 given to

00:21:39.059 --> 00:21:39.439
 Peter.

00:21:40.359 --> 00:21:41.059
 Look over

00:21:41.059 --> 00:21:41.539
 at verse

00:21:41.539 --> 00:21:42.619
 61.

00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:45.899
 Try and

00:21:45.899 --> 00:21:46.739
 picture yourself

00:21:46.739 --> 00:21:47.179
 in that

00:21:47.179 --> 00:21:47.559
 moment.

00:21:48.319 --> 00:21:49.119
 The denials

00:21:49.119 --> 00:21:49.659
 have just

00:21:49.659 --> 00:21:50.079
 happened.

00:21:50.079 --> 00:21:51.119
 you've

00:21:51.119 --> 00:21:51.659
 heard the

00:21:51.659 --> 00:21:51.980
 cock

00:21:51.980 --> 00:21:52.579
 crowed.

00:21:54.579 --> 00:21:55.199
 The

00:21:55.199 --> 00:21:55.559
 Lord

00:21:55.559 --> 00:21:56.359
 turned and

00:21:56.359 --> 00:21:56.639
 looked

00:21:56.639 --> 00:21:57.359
 straight

00:21:57.359 --> 00:21:58.480
 at

00:21:58.480 --> 00:21:58.899
 Peter.

00:22:00.019 --> 00:22:00.659
 Across

00:22:00.659 --> 00:22:01.000
 the

00:22:01.000 --> 00:22:01.599
 courtyard,

00:22:02.000 --> 00:22:02.419
 amidst

00:22:02.419 --> 00:22:02.939
 all the

00:22:02.939 --> 00:22:03.419
 noise,

00:22:04.059 --> 00:22:04.359
 through the

00:22:04.359 --> 00:22:06.059
 flicker of

00:22:06.059 --> 00:22:06.639
 the flames,

00:22:06.819 --> 00:22:07.559
 their eyes

00:22:07.559 --> 00:22:08.139
 connect.

00:22:08.539 --> 00:22:09.159
 It seems

00:22:09.159 --> 00:22:10.159
 what must

00:22:10.159 --> 00:22:10.599
 be like

00:22:10.599 --> 00:22:11.439
 an eternity.

00:22:12.599 --> 00:22:12.960
 Jesus

00:22:12.960 --> 00:22:13.659
 and Peter

00:22:13.659 --> 00:22:14.480
 just locked

00:22:14.480 --> 00:22:15.220
 looking at

00:22:15.220 --> 00:22:15.759
 each other.

00:22:15.759 --> 00:22:19.819
 Jesus

00:22:19.819 --> 00:22:20.500
 looks

00:22:20.500 --> 00:22:23.079
 and Peter

00:22:23.079 --> 00:22:23.859
 remembers.

00:22:24.859 --> 00:22:25.660
 Rest of

00:22:25.660 --> 00:22:26.460
 verse 61.

00:22:26.640 --> 00:22:27.220
 Then Peter

00:22:27.220 --> 00:22:28.119
 remembered the

00:22:28.119 --> 00:22:28.920
 words the

00:22:28.920 --> 00:22:29.440
 Lord had

00:22:29.440 --> 00:22:30.220
 spoken to

00:22:30.220 --> 00:22:30.519
 him.

00:22:31.420 --> 00:22:32.180
 Before the

00:22:32.180 --> 00:22:32.980
 cock crows

00:22:32.980 --> 00:22:33.519
 today,

00:22:34.579 --> 00:22:35.039
 you will

00:22:35.039 --> 00:22:35.740
 disown me

00:22:35.740 --> 00:22:36.740
 three times.

00:22:36.740 --> 00:22:39.180
 Jesus

00:22:39.180 --> 00:22:40.059
 knows Peter

00:22:40.059 --> 00:22:40.640
 has failed.

00:22:42.380 --> 00:22:42.660
 Peter

00:22:42.660 --> 00:22:43.319
 knows that

00:22:43.319 --> 00:22:43.819
 he has

00:22:43.819 --> 00:22:44.180
 failed.

00:22:45.500 --> 00:22:46.339
 But Jesus

00:22:46.339 --> 00:22:47.299
 looks not

00:22:47.299 --> 00:22:47.980
 just to

00:22:47.980 --> 00:22:48.599
 condemn

00:22:48.599 --> 00:22:49.039
 him,

00:22:49.779 --> 00:22:51.059
 but to

00:22:51.059 --> 00:22:51.839
 forgive him.

00:22:52.880 --> 00:22:53.279
 Yes,

00:22:53.420 --> 00:22:54.319
 Jesus shows

00:22:54.319 --> 00:22:54.839
 him his

00:22:54.839 --> 00:22:55.200
 guilt.

00:22:55.539 --> 00:22:56.059
 The guilt

00:22:56.059 --> 00:22:56.980
 is exposed

00:22:56.980 --> 00:22:57.440
 as he

00:22:57.440 --> 00:22:58.039
 looks.

00:22:59.359 --> 00:23:00.259
 But Jesus

00:23:00.259 --> 00:23:01.380
 longs for

00:23:01.380 --> 00:23:01.960
 Peter's

00:23:01.960 --> 00:23:02.660
 restoration.

00:23:02.660 --> 00:23:05.279
 no words

00:23:05.279 --> 00:23:05.940
 are spoken,

00:23:06.140 --> 00:23:06.440
 but in

00:23:06.440 --> 00:23:07.060
 that look,

00:23:07.279 --> 00:23:07.700
 Peter,

00:23:08.540 --> 00:23:09.259
 Peter,

00:23:09.400 --> 00:23:09.740
 will you

00:23:09.740 --> 00:23:10.519
 receive

00:23:10.519 --> 00:23:11.540
 my grace?

00:23:13.680 --> 00:23:14.320
 You see,

00:23:14.420 --> 00:23:15.040
 as darkness

00:23:15.040 --> 00:23:15.759
 falls,

00:23:16.060 --> 00:23:16.580
 as the

00:23:16.580 --> 00:23:17.180
 disciples

00:23:17.180 --> 00:23:17.800
 fail,

00:23:18.320 --> 00:23:18.940
 grace

00:23:18.940 --> 00:23:19.860
 flows

00:23:19.860 --> 00:23:20.420
 from

00:23:20.420 --> 00:23:20.960
 Jesus.

00:23:21.360 --> 00:23:21.860
 And it's

00:23:21.860 --> 00:23:22.580
 no different

00:23:22.580 --> 00:23:23.180
 for you

00:23:23.180 --> 00:23:23.620
 and I.

00:23:24.040 --> 00:23:24.400
 In the

00:23:24.400 --> 00:23:24.980
 darkest

00:23:24.980 --> 00:23:25.740
 moment

00:23:25.740 --> 00:23:26.300
 of our

00:23:26.300 --> 00:23:26.940
 lives,

00:23:27.480 --> 00:23:28.240
 in the

00:23:28.240 --> 00:23:28.700
 midst of

00:23:28.700 --> 00:23:28.920
 our

00:23:28.920 --> 00:23:29.480
 greatest

00:23:29.480 --> 00:23:30.120
 failure,

00:23:30.600 --> 00:23:31.000
 Jesus

00:23:31.000 --> 00:23:32.019
 speaks his

00:23:32.019 --> 00:23:32.600
 word of

00:23:32.599 --> 00:23:33.399
 grace to

00:23:33.399 --> 00:23:33.740
 us.

00:23:34.079 --> 00:23:34.740
 There is

00:23:34.740 --> 00:23:35.139
 a way

00:23:35.139 --> 00:23:35.699
 back.

00:23:36.839 --> 00:23:37.039
 You

00:23:37.039 --> 00:23:38.099
 can be

00:23:38.099 --> 00:23:38.619
 forgiven.

00:23:41.059 --> 00:23:41.740
 Receive

00:23:41.740 --> 00:23:42.519
 my

00:23:42.519 --> 00:23:43.519
 grace.

00:23:48.519 --> 00:23:49.159
 Well,

00:23:49.199 --> 00:23:49.539
 how can

00:23:49.539 --> 00:23:50.459
 we experience

00:23:50.459 --> 00:23:51.119
 this grace

00:23:51.119 --> 00:23:51.899
 for ourselves?

00:23:54.719 --> 00:23:55.359
 Well,

00:23:55.399 --> 00:23:55.679
 there's a

00:23:55.679 --> 00:23:56.139
 wrong way

00:23:56.139 --> 00:23:56.480
 and there's

00:23:56.480 --> 00:23:56.879
 a right

00:23:56.879 --> 00:23:57.139
 way.

00:23:58.519 --> 00:23:59.159
 First,

00:23:59.259 --> 00:23:59.639
 the wrong

00:23:59.639 --> 00:23:59.939
 way,

00:24:00.399 --> 00:24:01.059
 remorse,

00:24:01.059 --> 00:24:02.279
 like

00:24:02.279 --> 00:24:02.720
 Judas.

00:24:04.799 --> 00:24:05.519
 I guess

00:24:05.519 --> 00:24:05.899
 we can

00:24:05.899 --> 00:24:06.399
 be like

00:24:06.399 --> 00:24:06.759
 Judas

00:24:06.759 --> 00:24:07.559
 and respond

00:24:07.559 --> 00:24:07.899
 with

00:24:07.899 --> 00:24:08.539
 remorse.

00:24:10.139 --> 00:24:10.700
 Luke's

00:24:10.700 --> 00:24:11.039
 gospel

00:24:11.039 --> 00:24:11.659
 doesn't

00:24:11.659 --> 00:24:12.259
 actually

00:24:12.259 --> 00:24:12.960
 tell us

00:24:12.960 --> 00:24:13.240
 how

00:24:13.240 --> 00:24:13.740
 Judas

00:24:13.740 --> 00:24:14.440
 responded,

00:24:15.099 --> 00:24:16.480
 but when

00:24:16.480 --> 00:24:17.079
 you read

00:24:17.079 --> 00:24:17.539
 on in

00:24:17.539 --> 00:24:17.919
 Luke's

00:24:17.919 --> 00:24:18.440
 continued

00:24:18.440 --> 00:24:18.899
 account

00:24:18.899 --> 00:24:19.419
 into the

00:24:19.419 --> 00:24:19.799
 book of

00:24:19.799 --> 00:24:20.220
 Acts,

00:24:20.339 --> 00:24:20.659
 if you

00:24:20.659 --> 00:24:20.980
 go to

00:24:20.980 --> 00:24:21.279
 Acts

00:24:21.279 --> 00:24:21.700
 chapter

00:24:21.700 --> 00:24:22.139
 1,

00:24:23.139 --> 00:24:24.000
 we see

00:24:24.000 --> 00:24:24.559
 what Luke

00:24:24.559 --> 00:24:25.000
 has to

00:24:25.000 --> 00:24:25.679
 say about

00:24:25.679 --> 00:24:26.200
 Judas.

00:24:26.200 --> 00:24:28.000
 it's

00:24:28.000 --> 00:24:28.420
 not a

00:24:28.420 --> 00:24:28.640
 pretty

00:24:28.640 --> 00:24:29.120
 picture.

00:24:30.400 --> 00:24:31.180
 Just go

00:24:31.180 --> 00:24:31.680
 forward.

00:24:33.299 --> 00:24:33.779
 Luke,

00:24:34.279 --> 00:24:34.660
 John,

00:24:35.000 --> 00:24:35.400
 and then

00:24:35.400 --> 00:24:35.779
 Acts

00:24:35.779 --> 00:24:36.620
 chapter 1

00:24:36.620 --> 00:24:37.559
 verse 17.

00:24:38.840 --> 00:24:39.660
 So this

00:24:39.660 --> 00:24:40.860
 is after

00:24:40.860 --> 00:24:41.580
 Jesus has

00:24:41.580 --> 00:24:41.940
 died,

00:24:42.080 --> 00:24:42.799
 after the

00:24:42.799 --> 00:24:43.400
 resurrection.

00:24:44.720 --> 00:24:45.279
 The

00:24:45.279 --> 00:24:46.039
 disciples are

00:24:46.039 --> 00:24:46.480
 together

00:24:46.480 --> 00:24:48.559
 and they're

00:24:48.559 --> 00:24:49.180
 thinking about,

00:24:49.420 --> 00:24:49.460
 well,

00:24:49.539 --> 00:24:50.299
 who is

00:24:50.299 --> 00:24:50.779
 going to

00:24:50.779 --> 00:24:51.259
 replace

00:24:51.259 --> 00:24:51.700
 Judas?

00:24:52.160 --> 00:24:52.400
 Well,

00:24:52.440 --> 00:24:52.720
 what's

00:24:52.720 --> 00:24:53.380
 happened to

00:24:53.380 --> 00:24:53.700
 Judas?

00:24:53.700 --> 00:24:56.100
 Well,

00:24:56.160 --> 00:24:56.500
 we read

00:24:56.500 --> 00:24:56.960
 about it

00:24:56.960 --> 00:24:57.420
 in verse

00:24:57.420 --> 00:24:58.840
 8-17.

00:24:59.880 --> 00:25:00.740
 They say,

00:25:01.000 --> 00:25:01.340
 he was

00:25:01.340 --> 00:25:01.740
 one of

00:25:01.740 --> 00:25:02.400
 our number

00:25:02.400 --> 00:25:03.559
 and shared

00:25:03.559 --> 00:25:04.420
 in our

00:25:04.420 --> 00:25:04.980
 ministry.

00:25:06.220 --> 00:25:06.900
 With the

00:25:06.900 --> 00:25:08.180
 payment he

00:25:08.180 --> 00:25:08.920
 received for

00:25:08.920 --> 00:25:09.860
 his wickedness,

00:25:10.480 --> 00:25:11.200
 Judas brought

00:25:11.200 --> 00:25:11.880
 a field,

00:25:13.200 --> 00:25:13.759
 there he

00:25:13.759 --> 00:25:15.120
 fell headlong,

00:25:16.759 --> 00:25:17.440
 meaning that

00:25:17.440 --> 00:25:18.100
 he had

00:25:18.100 --> 00:25:19.180
 hung

00:25:19.180 --> 00:25:19.860
 himself.

00:25:21.039 --> 00:25:21.819
 His body

00:25:21.819 --> 00:25:22.860
 burst open

00:25:22.859 --> 00:25:24.559
 and all

00:25:24.559 --> 00:25:24.899
 his

00:25:24.899 --> 00:25:25.699
 intestines

00:25:25.699 --> 00:25:26.240
 spilled

00:25:26.240 --> 00:25:26.659
 out.

00:25:27.779 --> 00:25:28.219
 Everyone

00:25:28.219 --> 00:25:28.979
 in Jerusalem

00:25:28.979 --> 00:25:29.719
 heard about

00:25:29.719 --> 00:25:30.139
 this,

00:25:30.679 --> 00:25:31.259
 so they

00:25:31.259 --> 00:25:31.899
 called that

00:25:31.899 --> 00:25:32.500
 field in

00:25:32.500 --> 00:25:33.059
 their own

00:25:33.059 --> 00:25:33.659
 language

00:25:33.659 --> 00:25:34.979
 akaldama,

00:25:35.939 --> 00:25:36.519
 that is

00:25:36.519 --> 00:25:37.819
 field of

00:25:37.819 --> 00:25:38.240
 blood.

00:25:40.000 --> 00:25:40.839
 Go back

00:25:40.839 --> 00:25:41.339
 to Luke.

00:25:42.500 --> 00:25:43.019
 Judas

00:25:43.019 --> 00:25:43.839
 was

00:25:43.839 --> 00:25:44.719
 remorseful.

00:25:45.699 --> 00:25:46.259
 Being

00:25:46.259 --> 00:25:46.979
 remorseful

00:25:46.979 --> 00:25:47.699
 means we

00:25:47.699 --> 00:25:48.639
 regret what

00:25:48.639 --> 00:25:49.019
 we have

00:25:49.019 --> 00:25:49.779
 done because

00:25:49.779 --> 00:25:50.199
 of the

00:25:50.199 --> 00:25:51.059
 consequences

00:25:51.059 --> 00:25:51.859
 it has on

00:25:51.859 --> 00:25:52.399
 our life.

00:25:52.859 --> 00:25:53.799
 Judas

00:25:53.799 --> 00:25:54.959
 feels bad,

00:25:55.099 --> 00:25:55.740
 he's full

00:25:55.740 --> 00:25:56.339
 of self

00:25:56.339 --> 00:25:56.779
 pity,

00:25:57.179 --> 00:25:58.019
 he regrets

00:25:58.019 --> 00:25:58.539
 what he's

00:25:58.539 --> 00:25:59.339
 done because

00:25:59.339 --> 00:26:00.139
 of what

00:26:00.139 --> 00:26:00.719
 people are

00:26:00.719 --> 00:26:01.219
 now going

00:26:01.219 --> 00:26:01.759
 to think

00:26:01.759 --> 00:26:02.159
 of him.

00:26:02.539 --> 00:26:03.219
 He feels

00:26:03.219 --> 00:26:04.079
 so bad

00:26:04.079 --> 00:26:04.399
 that he

00:26:04.399 --> 00:26:05.039
 can't bear

00:26:05.039 --> 00:26:05.579
 to think

00:26:05.579 --> 00:26:06.339
 of what

00:26:06.339 --> 00:26:06.699
 he will

00:26:06.699 --> 00:26:07.319
 be known

00:26:07.319 --> 00:26:08.139
 for the

00:26:08.139 --> 00:26:08.539
 rest of

00:26:08.539 --> 00:26:09.059
 his life

00:26:09.059 --> 00:26:09.679
 that people

00:26:09.679 --> 00:26:09.959
 are going

00:26:09.959 --> 00:26:10.339
 to think

00:26:10.339 --> 00:26:10.579
 of him

00:26:10.579 --> 00:26:10.919
 as a

00:26:10.919 --> 00:26:11.759
 betrayer.

00:26:12.799 --> 00:26:13.019
 He

00:26:13.019 --> 00:26:13.459
 can't

00:26:13.459 --> 00:26:13.959
 handle

00:26:13.959 --> 00:26:14.479
 that.

00:26:16.719 --> 00:26:17.439
 So he

00:26:17.439 --> 00:26:17.779
 kills

00:26:17.779 --> 00:26:18.259
 himself.

00:26:20.099 --> 00:26:20.500
 You see

00:26:20.500 --> 00:26:21.039
 remorse

00:26:21.039 --> 00:26:21.519
 will not

00:26:21.519 --> 00:26:21.960
 get you

00:26:21.960 --> 00:26:22.420
 anywhere.

00:26:23.519 --> 00:26:23.920
 Remorse

00:26:23.920 --> 00:26:24.379
 doesn't

00:26:24.379 --> 00:26:24.799
 lead you

00:26:24.799 --> 00:26:25.400
 to grace.

00:26:26.180 --> 00:26:26.500
 Feeling

00:26:26.500 --> 00:26:27.660
 bad about

00:26:27.660 --> 00:26:28.319
 your life

00:26:28.319 --> 00:26:28.859
 and feeling

00:26:28.859 --> 00:26:29.900
 bad about

00:26:29.900 --> 00:26:30.740
 your failures

00:26:30.740 --> 00:26:31.819
 will only

00:26:31.819 --> 00:26:32.440
 ruin you

00:26:32.440 --> 00:26:33.139
 and destroy

00:26:33.139 --> 00:26:33.700
 you.

00:26:38.339 --> 00:26:39.200
 But we

00:26:39.200 --> 00:26:39.500
 can be

00:26:39.500 --> 00:26:40.180
 like Peter

00:26:40.180 --> 00:26:42.660
 who responded

00:26:42.660 --> 00:26:43.460
 with repentance.

00:26:43.460 --> 00:26:45.640
 Let's

00:26:45.640 --> 00:26:46.240
 read chapter

00:26:46.240 --> 00:26:46.819
 22

00:26:46.819 --> 00:26:47.620
 verse 61

00:26:47.620 --> 00:26:48.880
 together.

00:26:49.059 --> 00:26:49.500
 The Lord

00:26:49.500 --> 00:26:50.500
 turned and

00:26:50.500 --> 00:26:51.120
 looked straight

00:26:51.120 --> 00:26:51.660
 at Peter

00:26:51.660 --> 00:26:52.240
 and Peter

00:26:52.240 --> 00:26:53.000
 remembered the

00:26:53.000 --> 00:26:53.440
 word the

00:26:53.440 --> 00:26:53.900
 Lord had

00:26:53.900 --> 00:26:54.620
 spoken to

00:26:54.620 --> 00:26:54.900
 him.

00:26:55.460 --> 00:26:56.259
 Before the

00:26:56.259 --> 00:26:56.980
 cock crows

00:26:56.980 --> 00:26:57.600
 today you

00:26:57.600 --> 00:26:58.220
 will disown

00:26:58.220 --> 00:26:58.740
 me three

00:26:58.740 --> 00:26:59.360
 times.

00:27:01.400 --> 00:27:02.640
 And Peter

00:27:02.640 --> 00:27:03.779
 went outside

00:27:03.779 --> 00:27:04.900
 and wept

00:27:04.900 --> 00:27:06.100
 bitterly.

00:27:08.160 --> 00:27:09.079
 Peter was

00:27:09.079 --> 00:27:09.940
 repentant.

00:27:10.940 --> 00:27:11.600
 Literally he

00:27:11.600 --> 00:27:12.400
 threw himself

00:27:12.400 --> 00:27:13.180
 on the ground

00:27:13.180 --> 00:27:13.860
 and cried.

00:27:14.360 --> 00:27:15.300
 He sees

00:27:15.300 --> 00:27:16.340
 his sin.

00:27:17.380 --> 00:27:18.160
 He sees

00:27:18.160 --> 00:27:18.980
 his failure

00:27:18.980 --> 00:27:19.860
 but more

00:27:19.860 --> 00:27:20.420
 than that he

00:27:20.420 --> 00:27:21.340
 admits to

00:27:21.340 --> 00:27:21.500
 it.

00:27:21.800 --> 00:27:22.300
 These are

00:27:22.300 --> 00:27:23.060
 tears not

00:27:23.060 --> 00:27:23.580
 of self

00:27:23.580 --> 00:27:24.560
 pity but

00:27:24.560 --> 00:27:25.380
 tears for

00:27:25.380 --> 00:27:25.980
 Jesus.

00:27:26.519 --> 00:27:27.140
 He needs

00:27:27.140 --> 00:27:27.860
 forgiveness.

00:27:29.420 --> 00:27:29.860
 And that's

00:27:29.860 --> 00:27:30.620
 the difference

00:27:30.620 --> 00:27:31.900
 between remorse

00:27:31.900 --> 00:27:33.360
 and repentance.

00:27:34.600 --> 00:27:35.320
 Remorse is

00:27:35.320 --> 00:27:36.019
 to feel

00:27:36.019 --> 00:27:36.860
 regret

00:27:36.859 --> 00:27:39.539
 because you

00:27:39.539 --> 00:27:40.219
 are found

00:27:40.219 --> 00:27:42.079
 out and

00:27:42.079 --> 00:27:42.539
 it leaves

00:27:42.539 --> 00:27:43.179
 you broken

00:27:43.179 --> 00:27:43.539
 and you

00:27:43.539 --> 00:27:44.279
 can't live

00:27:44.279 --> 00:27:45.119
 with yourself.

00:27:47.219 --> 00:27:47.859
 Repentance

00:27:47.859 --> 00:27:48.599
 is to own

00:27:48.599 --> 00:27:49.339
 up to what

00:27:49.339 --> 00:27:49.719
 you have

00:27:49.719 --> 00:27:50.079
 done.

00:27:51.819 --> 00:27:52.839
 It leaves

00:27:52.839 --> 00:27:53.259
 you

00:27:53.259 --> 00:27:54.359
 forgiven.

00:27:54.359 --> 00:27:59.299
 as we

00:27:59.299 --> 00:28:00.199
 respond to

00:28:00.199 --> 00:28:00.659
 God's

00:28:00.659 --> 00:28:01.179
 wonderful

00:28:01.179 --> 00:28:01.799
 offer of

00:28:01.799 --> 00:28:02.259
 grace

00:28:02.259 --> 00:28:04.319
 as we

00:28:04.319 --> 00:28:05.119
 repent

00:28:05.119 --> 00:28:05.959
 we

00:28:05.959 --> 00:28:06.899
 experience

00:28:06.899 --> 00:28:07.599
 God's

00:28:07.599 --> 00:28:08.519
 overflowing

00:28:08.519 --> 00:28:09.079
 grace

00:28:09.079 --> 00:28:10.219
 in our

00:28:10.219 --> 00:28:10.899
 lives.

00:28:13.579 --> 00:28:14.799
 You see

00:28:14.799 --> 00:28:15.439
 in Jesus

00:28:15.439 --> 00:28:17.159
 we find

00:28:17.159 --> 00:28:17.679
 the greatest

00:28:17.679 --> 00:28:18.199
 friend

00:28:18.199 --> 00:28:18.799
 possible.

00:28:18.799 --> 00:28:20.879
 the one

00:28:20.879 --> 00:28:21.259
 who will

00:28:21.259 --> 00:28:21.519
 never

00:28:21.519 --> 00:28:22.000
 betray

00:28:22.000 --> 00:28:22.359
 you

00:28:22.359 --> 00:28:24.079
 the one

00:28:24.079 --> 00:28:24.419
 who will

00:28:24.419 --> 00:28:24.720
 never

00:28:24.720 --> 00:28:25.099
 deny

00:28:25.099 --> 00:28:25.480
 you

00:28:25.480 --> 00:28:27.139
 the one

00:28:27.139 --> 00:28:27.659
 who never

00:28:27.659 --> 00:28:28.419
 turns his

00:28:28.419 --> 00:28:28.919
 back on

00:28:28.919 --> 00:28:29.159
 you

00:28:29.159 --> 00:28:29.799
 who is

00:28:29.799 --> 00:28:30.359
 faithful

00:28:30.359 --> 00:28:31.039
 and loyal

00:28:31.039 --> 00:28:32.859
 so loyal

00:28:32.859 --> 00:28:34.559
 that he

00:28:34.559 --> 00:28:35.119
 has died

00:28:35.119 --> 00:28:35.639
 for you.

00:28:37.359 --> 00:28:38.039
 For when

00:28:38.039 --> 00:28:38.879
 Jesus died

00:28:38.879 --> 00:28:39.259
 on the

00:28:39.259 --> 00:28:39.720
 cross he

00:28:39.720 --> 00:28:40.359
 was treated

00:28:40.359 --> 00:28:40.839
 as that

00:28:40.839 --> 00:28:41.599
 betrayer

00:28:41.599 --> 00:28:42.759
 as that

00:28:42.759 --> 00:28:43.379
 denier

00:28:43.379 --> 00:28:43.919
 for you

00:28:43.919 --> 00:28:44.299
 and for

00:28:44.299 --> 00:28:44.559
 me.

00:28:45.259 --> 00:28:45.859
 In love

00:28:45.859 --> 00:28:46.480
 he walked

00:28:46.480 --> 00:28:46.980
 to the

00:28:46.980 --> 00:28:47.740
 field of

00:28:47.740 --> 00:28:48.099
 blood

00:28:48.099 --> 00:28:48.939
 he went

00:28:48.939 --> 00:28:49.419
 to the

00:28:49.419 --> 00:28:49.919
 cross

00:28:49.919 --> 00:28:50.879
 and as

00:28:50.879 --> 00:28:51.480
 the true

00:28:51.480 --> 00:28:52.359
 and faithful

00:28:52.359 --> 00:28:53.419
 friend he

00:28:53.419 --> 00:28:54.039
 was willing

00:28:54.039 --> 00:28:54.559
 to take

00:28:54.559 --> 00:28:55.339
 our place

00:28:55.339 --> 00:28:56.019
 to suffer

00:28:56.019 --> 00:28:56.859
 my sin.

00:28:58.019 --> 00:28:58.379
 Jesus

00:28:58.379 --> 00:28:59.559
 absorbs the

00:28:59.559 --> 00:29:00.379
 judgment of

00:29:00.379 --> 00:29:00.899
 God for

00:29:00.899 --> 00:29:01.699
 us so

00:29:01.699 --> 00:29:02.439
 that from

00:29:02.439 --> 00:29:03.099
 the cross

00:29:03.099 --> 00:29:04.399
 flows amazing

00:29:04.399 --> 00:29:05.019
 grace.

00:29:07.899 --> 00:29:08.919
 And when

00:29:08.919 --> 00:29:10.139
 we experience

00:29:10.139 --> 00:29:11.039
 that grace

00:29:11.039 --> 00:29:11.740
 of forgiveness

00:29:11.740 --> 00:29:12.639
 in our life

00:29:12.639 --> 00:29:13.819
 it changes

00:29:13.819 --> 00:29:14.759
 us radically.

00:29:16.019 --> 00:29:16.639
 Let me

00:29:16.639 --> 00:29:17.159
 show you

00:29:17.159 --> 00:29:17.839
 very quickly

00:29:17.839 --> 00:29:18.579
 how it

00:29:18.579 --> 00:29:19.000
 changes

00:29:19.000 --> 00:29:19.679
 our lives.

00:29:20.119 --> 00:29:20.519
 Look at

00:29:20.519 --> 00:29:21.179
 verse 50

00:29:21.179 --> 00:29:21.779
 as Jesus

00:29:21.779 --> 00:29:22.339
 is being

00:29:22.339 --> 00:29:22.859
 arrested

00:29:22.859 --> 00:29:24.419
 one of

00:29:24.419 --> 00:29:25.199
 his disciples

00:29:25.199 --> 00:29:26.099
 comes to

00:29:26.099 --> 00:29:26.500
 Jesus'

00:29:26.759 --> 00:29:27.439
 defense.

00:29:29.399 --> 00:29:30.459
 Verse 50

00:29:30.459 --> 00:29:31.159
 and one

00:29:31.159 --> 00:29:31.459
 of them

00:29:31.459 --> 00:29:32.139
 struck the

00:29:32.139 --> 00:29:32.679
 servant of

00:29:32.679 --> 00:29:33.099
 the high

00:29:33.099 --> 00:29:33.419
 priest

00:29:33.419 --> 00:29:34.039
 cutting off

00:29:34.039 --> 00:29:34.519
 his right

00:29:34.519 --> 00:29:34.819
 ear.

00:29:36.299 --> 00:29:36.720
 Wow.

00:29:38.439 --> 00:29:39.059
 They've

00:29:39.059 --> 00:29:39.480
 come to

00:29:39.480 --> 00:29:39.939
 arrest

00:29:39.939 --> 00:29:40.439
 Jesus

00:29:40.439 --> 00:29:41.039
 destroy

00:29:41.039 --> 00:29:41.500
 him

00:29:41.500 --> 00:29:42.099
 and kill

00:29:42.099 --> 00:29:42.500
 him

00:29:42.500 --> 00:29:43.819
 but Jesus

00:29:43.819 --> 00:29:44.619
 is innocent.

00:29:44.619 --> 00:29:47.259
 the servant

00:29:47.259 --> 00:29:47.799
 is the

00:29:47.799 --> 00:29:48.159
 guilty

00:29:48.159 --> 00:29:48.539
 one.

00:29:49.039 --> 00:29:49.319
 If

00:29:49.319 --> 00:29:49.779
 justice

00:29:49.779 --> 00:29:50.259
 is to

00:29:50.259 --> 00:29:50.719
 be done

00:29:50.719 --> 00:29:51.459
 then the

00:29:51.459 --> 00:29:51.799
 servant

00:29:51.799 --> 00:29:52.259
 should have

00:29:52.259 --> 00:29:52.759
 more than

00:29:52.759 --> 00:29:53.159
 his ear

00:29:53.159 --> 00:29:54.000
 cut off.

00:29:56.059 --> 00:29:57.079
 Verse 51

00:29:57.079 --> 00:29:57.679
 but Jesus

00:29:57.679 --> 00:29:58.199
 answered

00:29:58.199 --> 00:29:59.279
 no more

00:29:59.279 --> 00:30:00.399
 of this

00:30:00.399 --> 00:30:02.639
 and he

00:30:02.639 --> 00:30:03.039
 touched

00:30:03.039 --> 00:30:03.779
 the man's

00:30:03.779 --> 00:30:04.139
 ear

00:30:04.139 --> 00:30:04.679
 and

00:30:04.679 --> 00:30:05.539
 healed

00:30:05.539 --> 00:30:05.879
 him.

00:30:06.899 --> 00:30:07.459
 This is

00:30:07.459 --> 00:30:08.000
 an enemy

00:30:08.000 --> 00:30:09.739
 of Jesus.

00:30:10.679 --> 00:30:11.079
 One who

00:30:11.079 --> 00:30:11.459
 was going

00:30:11.460 --> 00:30:11.860
 to get

00:30:11.860 --> 00:30:12.340
 rid

00:30:12.340 --> 00:30:12.680
 of

00:30:12.680 --> 00:30:13.100
 Jesus

00:30:13.100 --> 00:30:13.880
 and how

00:30:13.880 --> 00:30:14.100
 does

00:30:14.100 --> 00:30:14.460
 Jesus

00:30:14.460 --> 00:30:15.000
 respond

00:30:15.000 --> 00:30:16.680
 no more

00:30:16.680 --> 00:30:18.480
 and he

00:30:18.480 --> 00:30:18.960
 heals

00:30:18.960 --> 00:30:19.259
 him.

00:30:20.640 --> 00:30:21.079
 You see

00:30:21.079 --> 00:30:21.559
 when we

00:30:21.559 --> 00:30:22.480
 experience

00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:23.079
 God's

00:30:23.079 --> 00:30:23.420
 grace

00:30:23.420 --> 00:30:23.779
 in our

00:30:23.779 --> 00:30:24.059
 life

00:30:24.059 --> 00:30:24.980
 we

00:30:24.980 --> 00:30:25.279
 don't

00:30:25.279 --> 00:30:25.600
 need

00:30:25.600 --> 00:30:25.799
 to

00:30:25.799 --> 00:30:26.100
 take

00:30:26.100 --> 00:30:26.759
 revenge.

00:30:27.819 --> 00:30:27.900
 We

00:30:27.900 --> 00:30:28.180
 don't

00:30:28.180 --> 00:30:28.460
 need

00:30:28.460 --> 00:30:28.680
 to

00:30:28.680 --> 00:30:29.160
 plan

00:30:29.160 --> 00:30:29.400
 up

00:30:29.400 --> 00:30:29.660
 and

00:30:29.660 --> 00:30:30.220
 conjure

00:30:30.220 --> 00:30:30.420
 up

00:30:30.420 --> 00:30:30.900
 ideas

00:30:30.900 --> 00:30:31.140
 of

00:30:31.140 --> 00:30:31.900
 getting

00:30:31.900 --> 00:30:32.420
 back

00:30:32.420 --> 00:30:32.620
 at

00:30:32.620 --> 00:30:33.059
 people.

00:30:33.960 --> 00:30:34.340
 Instead

00:30:34.340 --> 00:30:34.620
 of

00:30:34.620 --> 00:30:35.220
 angry

00:30:35.220 --> 00:30:35.759
 words

00:30:35.759 --> 00:30:35.960
 we

00:30:35.960 --> 00:30:36.160
 can

00:30:36.160 --> 00:30:36.380
 now

00:30:36.380 --> 00:30:36.680
 speak

00:30:36.680 --> 00:30:37.120
 words

00:30:37.120 --> 00:30:37.319
 of

00:30:37.319 --> 00:30:37.700
 healing.

00:30:38.620 --> 00:30:39.100
 Instead

00:30:39.100 --> 00:30:39.380
 of

00:30:39.380 --> 00:30:39.779
 cutting

00:30:39.779 --> 00:30:40.259
 people

00:30:40.259 --> 00:30:40.579
 off

00:30:40.579 --> 00:30:40.980
 and not

00:30:40.980 --> 00:30:41.440
 talking

00:30:41.440 --> 00:30:41.640
 to

00:30:41.640 --> 00:30:41.840
 them

00:30:41.840 --> 00:30:42.920
 we

00:30:42.920 --> 00:30:43.160
 can

00:30:43.160 --> 00:30:43.400
 now

00:30:43.400 --> 00:30:43.880
 welcome

00:30:43.880 --> 00:30:44.120
 them

00:30:44.120 --> 00:30:44.620
 back.

00:30:45.740 --> 00:30:46.340
 Because

00:30:46.340 --> 00:30:46.860
 I

00:30:46.860 --> 00:30:47.120
 have

00:30:47.120 --> 00:30:47.360
 been

00:30:47.360 --> 00:30:47.860
 forgiven

00:30:47.860 --> 00:30:48.259
 of

00:30:48.259 --> 00:30:48.580
 my

00:30:48.580 --> 00:30:49.140
 failure

00:30:49.140 --> 00:30:50.180
 because

00:30:50.180 --> 00:30:50.779
 Jesus

00:30:50.779 --> 00:30:51.080
 has

00:30:51.080 --> 00:30:51.460
 forgiven

00:30:51.460 --> 00:30:51.860
 me

00:30:51.860 --> 00:30:52.120
 the

00:30:52.120 --> 00:30:52.640
 denier

00:30:52.640 --> 00:30:52.880
 and

00:30:52.880 --> 00:30:53.019
 the

00:30:53.019 --> 00:30:53.840
 betrayer

00:30:53.840 --> 00:30:56.180
 well

00:30:56.180 --> 00:30:56.400
 I

00:30:56.400 --> 00:30:56.600
 can

00:30:56.600 --> 00:30:56.900
 now

00:30:56.900 --> 00:30:57.259
 forgive

00:30:57.259 --> 00:30:57.720
 those

00:30:57.720 --> 00:30:57.940
 who

00:30:57.940 --> 00:30:58.320
 fail

00:30:58.320 --> 00:30:58.700
 me.

00:31:01.220 --> 00:31:01.960
 When

00:31:01.960 --> 00:31:02.200
 we

00:31:02.200 --> 00:31:02.460
 own

00:31:02.460 --> 00:31:02.740
 our

00:31:02.740 --> 00:31:03.059
 sin

00:31:03.059 --> 00:31:05.059
 when

00:31:05.059 --> 00:31:05.299
 we

00:31:05.299 --> 00:31:05.600
 run

00:31:05.600 --> 00:31:05.840
 to

00:31:05.840 --> 00:31:06.200
 Jesus

00:31:06.200 --> 00:31:06.539
 we

00:31:06.539 --> 00:31:07.380
 experience

00:31:07.380 --> 00:31:08.160
 God's

00:31:08.160 --> 00:31:09.059
 overflowing

00:31:09.059 --> 00:31:09.660
 grace.

00:31:09.660 --> 00:31:11.640
 in

00:31:11.640 --> 00:31:12.000
 Jesus

00:31:12.000 --> 00:31:12.279
 we

00:31:12.279 --> 00:31:12.660
 find

00:31:12.660 --> 00:31:12.880
 the

00:31:12.880 --> 00:31:13.440
 perfect

00:31:13.440 --> 00:31:13.960
 friend

00:31:13.960 --> 00:31:15.460
 the

00:31:15.460 --> 00:31:15.779
 friend

00:31:15.779 --> 00:31:16.000
 who

00:31:16.000 --> 00:31:16.420
 loves

00:31:16.420 --> 00:31:16.720
 you

00:31:16.720 --> 00:31:18.460
 the

00:31:18.460 --> 00:31:18.759
 friend

00:31:18.759 --> 00:31:18.980
 who

00:31:18.980 --> 00:31:19.519
 forgives

00:31:19.519 --> 00:31:19.840
 you

00:31:19.840 --> 00:31:21.759
 the

00:31:21.759 --> 00:31:22.060
 friend

00:31:22.060 --> 00:31:22.259
 who

00:31:22.259 --> 00:31:22.720
 died

00:31:22.720 --> 00:31:22.980
 for

00:31:22.980 --> 00:31:23.300
 you.

00:31:27.300 --> 00:31:27.860
 Let's

00:31:27.860 --> 00:31:28.160
 pray

00:31:28.160 --> 00:31:28.820
 together.

00:31:28.819 --> 00:31:29.000
 people

00:31:53.700 --> 00:31:53.759
 I

00:31:53.759 --> 00:31:56.299
 I

00:31:56.299 --> 00:31:56.819
 I
