00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:23.000
 And turn to Mark chapter 14. Mark chapter 14. Page 851. Lord, we pray for God's help. Lord, be with us tonight and speak to us.

00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:29.000
! Help us to see Jesus more clearly. We pray this in his name. Amen.

00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:37.939
 What happens on the inside of something can be seen in what happens on the outside of something.

00:00:38.579 --> 00:00:44.420
 So if you have a poorly tummy on the inside, it starts to show on the outside, doesn't it?

00:00:44.500 --> 00:00:50.100
 Your face can become pale. Your eyes droop. You just don't look right.

00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:55.920
 So if you saw someone like that, you would think, oh, something's not right inside of them.

00:00:56.120 --> 00:00:59.939
 Something's going on there. Their tummy probably isn't right.

00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:05.799
 What happens on the outside shows us something happens on the inside.

00:01:07.019 --> 00:01:12.859
 And tonight, we're seeing some big and important moments in Jesus' life.

00:01:12.859 --> 00:01:19.480
 And on the outside of it, as we sit in the Garden of Gethsemane and watch all of this unfold,

00:01:20.439 --> 00:01:27.000
 on the outside of it, yes, it seems wrong what we're about to see.

00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:28.000
 Something distressing.

00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:28.659
 Something distressing.

00:01:28.659 --> 00:01:30.060
 Unfair.

00:01:30.060 --> 00:01:33.920
 Something isn't right on the outside.

00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:37.900
 and that is because something isn't right on the inside.

00:01:38.820 --> 00:01:43.799
 There is a deeper spiritual reality of events going on here.

00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:46.560
 There is something spiritually going on here.

00:01:46.960 --> 00:01:49.780
 God is doing something here in the garden,

00:01:50.420 --> 00:01:52.620
 something to do with his plan of redemption.

00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:55.079
 In this garden, God is saving us.

00:01:56.180 --> 00:02:02.280
 So on the outside, we will see Jesus being betrayed and hurt,

00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:04.920
 treated as a criminal, abandoned.

00:02:06.140 --> 00:02:10.659
 And all of this is happening because these outside events

00:02:10.659 --> 00:02:15.280
 are the symptoms of an inner spiritual saving reality

00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:18.560
 bubbling up and being seen on the outside.

00:02:19.939 --> 00:02:23.560
 So these events aren't just random or just coincidence

00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:25.960
 of how Jesus got to the cross.

00:02:26.740 --> 00:02:29.500
 No, in God's providence, these events unfold

00:02:29.500 --> 00:02:33.120
 to show us how exactly Jesus saves us.

00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:37.780
 They're outside symptoms of a deeper reality.

00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:41.539
 And so let's see the first outside symptom.

00:02:42.460 --> 00:02:42.979
 And it's this.

00:02:43.139 --> 00:02:44.860
 Jesus was betrayed.

00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:47.819
 Jesus was betrayed.

00:02:47.819 --> 00:02:53.359
 Still, in the quiet of Gethsemane,

00:02:54.139 --> 00:02:57.859
 Jesus has just been praying in agony to his father.

00:02:58.939 --> 00:03:01.199
 And then he's been speaking to his disciples.

00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:05.780
 But the quiet of the garden, it's disappearing.

00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:10.299
 Footsteps and voices approach.

00:03:10.300 --> 00:03:14.420
 And a familiar face begins to appear to Jesus.

00:03:15.340 --> 00:03:16.219
 Verse 43.

00:03:17.420 --> 00:03:19.560
 And immediately, while he was still speaking,

00:03:19.980 --> 00:03:22.360
 Judas came, one of the twelve.

00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:26.040
 And with him a crowd of swords and clubs

00:03:26.040 --> 00:03:28.760
 from the chief priests and scribes and the elders.

00:03:29.860 --> 00:03:32.720
 A crowd appears in this garden,

00:03:33.540 --> 00:03:35.720
 but they're holding swords and clubs.

00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:37.120
 You look closely.

00:03:37.419 --> 00:03:39.680
 This isn't just a normal crowd.

00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:41.400
 This is a mob.

00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:44.039
 It's a mob with, you can imagine,

00:03:44.219 --> 00:03:46.500
 pitchforks and torches.

00:03:47.060 --> 00:03:49.000
 This is a mob out for blood.

00:03:50.020 --> 00:03:51.219
 And who's leading the crowd?

00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:54.860
 It's Jesus' close friend, Judas.

00:03:56.159 --> 00:03:58.259
 Did you see what Mark calls him?

00:03:58.699 --> 00:04:00.199
 He calls him one of the twelve.

00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:04.280
 It's like saying, yeah, it's Judas.

00:04:04.799 --> 00:04:08.039
 And don't forget, he's one of the twelve disciples,

00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:08.659
 remember that?

00:04:09.379 --> 00:04:11.339
 One of Jesus' closest friends.

00:04:13.819 --> 00:04:16.939
 In school, I had a close group of friends.

00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:18.620
 It was the three of us.

00:04:18.659 --> 00:04:20.060
 It was me, Finn, and Will.

00:04:21.379 --> 00:04:22.779
 You could say, we were the three.

00:04:23.180 --> 00:04:24.120
 It was us three.

00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:25.919
 I was one of the three.

00:04:26.159 --> 00:04:27.379
 And we were best friends.

00:04:27.980 --> 00:04:28.639
 And we still are.

00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:31.919
 Well, this is how Judas is named.

00:04:32.579 --> 00:04:34.300
 Judas, one of the twelve.

00:04:35.159 --> 00:04:36.479
 One of the best friends.

00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:40.339
 Twelve friends who have been there

00:04:40.339 --> 00:04:43.099
 by Jesus' side from thick and thin.

00:04:44.740 --> 00:04:46.699
 And these words really sting

00:04:46.699 --> 00:04:50.319
 because Judas wasn't by his side that night.

00:04:51.779 --> 00:04:54.439
 Instead, he was rallying a mob

00:04:54.439 --> 00:04:57.300
 and he was plotting something against his friend.

00:04:57.300 --> 00:04:58.620
 Look at verse 44.

00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:02.919
 Now the betrayer had given them a sign saying,

00:05:03.579 --> 00:05:05.439
 The one I will kiss is the man.

00:05:06.099 --> 00:05:08.860
 Seize him and lead him away under God.

00:05:08.860 --> 00:05:14.160
 This mob from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders

00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:16.360
 have been after Jesus.

00:05:17.139 --> 00:05:18.560
 They don't like Jesus.

00:05:18.660 --> 00:05:21.139
 They don't like his teaching, his miracles.

00:05:21.939 --> 00:05:24.879
 He's come on the scene saying that he's the Messiah

00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:26.960
 and they hate it.

00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:31.699
 And so Judas joins with them and helps them.

00:05:31.699 --> 00:05:33.680
 And he plots with them.

00:05:34.419 --> 00:05:35.759
 He goes to them and says,

00:05:35.879 --> 00:05:39.240
 Hey, guys, I know where Jesus is going to be.

00:05:39.339 --> 00:05:40.139
 I know you want him.

00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:41.199
 I know where he's going to be.

00:05:42.039 --> 00:05:43.179
 He goes to this garden.

00:05:43.180 --> 00:05:44.980
 I can take you there.

00:05:45.180 --> 00:05:47.000
 And there will be a few other guys with him.

00:05:48.280 --> 00:05:50.019
 And you can imagine the mob,

00:05:50.540 --> 00:05:51.400
 the scribes and the priests,

00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:52.519
 like rubbing their hands.

00:05:53.280 --> 00:05:53.759
 Perfect.

00:05:53.759 --> 00:05:54.079
 Perfect.

00:05:55.339 --> 00:05:57.019
 But just a question, Judas.

00:05:57.120 --> 00:05:58.980
 How do we know which one is Jesus?

00:05:59.339 --> 00:06:01.019
 We really just want Jesus.

00:06:02.180 --> 00:06:03.539
 We need the right guy.

00:06:04.819 --> 00:06:05.500
 And Judas says,

00:06:05.860 --> 00:06:06.500
 Don't worry.

00:06:07.420 --> 00:06:08.219
 I'll show you.

00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:11.379
 The one I will kiss is the man.

00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:14.779
 Seize him and lead him away under God.

00:06:14.779 --> 00:06:18.019
 And that's exactly what happened.

00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:19.939
 Verse 45.

00:06:20.939 --> 00:06:21.699
 And when he came,

00:06:22.479 --> 00:06:23.899
 he went up to him at once and said,

00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:24.259
 Rabbi.

00:06:25.339 --> 00:06:26.299
 And he kissed him.

00:06:27.159 --> 00:06:29.279
 And they laid hands on him and seized him.

00:06:31.019 --> 00:06:33.000
 Can you imagine the heartbreak

00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:34.719
 Jesus must have felt?

00:06:35.779 --> 00:06:36.819
 That's his friend.

00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:40.919
 When you see one of your close friends,

00:06:41.379 --> 00:06:43.779
 I'm sure you all have a close friend you can think of,

00:06:43.779 --> 00:06:45.899
 what feeling do you get inside of you

00:06:45.899 --> 00:06:46.599
 when you see them?

00:06:47.159 --> 00:06:47.919
 Getting off the bus,

00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:48.619
 getting off the train,

00:06:48.699 --> 00:06:49.539
 and knocking on the door.

00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:50.939
 When you see them,

00:06:51.059 --> 00:06:52.759
 there's a warmth inside of you,

00:06:52.799 --> 00:06:53.199
 isn't there?

00:06:54.459 --> 00:06:55.939
 There's kind of a trust.

00:06:57.000 --> 00:06:58.299
 You kind of feel like,

00:06:58.359 --> 00:07:00.819
 I'm in good company with you.

00:07:02.019 --> 00:07:03.199
 I'm safe with you.

00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:04.979
 Things are okay when I'm with you.

00:07:06.619 --> 00:07:08.719
 But when Jesus sees Judas coming,

00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:11.699
 he should have had that feeling.

00:07:11.979 --> 00:07:13.399
 But it just gets twisted

00:07:13.399 --> 00:07:14.319
 and shattered.

00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:17.239
 That feeling of warmth

00:07:17.239 --> 00:07:21.060
 gets turned into a stabbing pain in his back.

00:07:22.399 --> 00:07:24.439
 I thought you were my friend, Judas.

00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:27.939
 If any of you have been betrayed,

00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:30.359
 you might know how that feels.

00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:31.699
 You might think,

00:07:31.779 --> 00:07:33.839
 it hurts for me to even look at you.

00:07:35.379 --> 00:07:36.519
 Well, this hurts.

00:07:36.519 --> 00:07:39.539
 It really hurts.

00:07:39.740 --> 00:07:40.359
 And yes,

00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:42.079
 Jesus knew this was going to happen.

00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:44.539
 He said in verse 18 of this chapter,

00:07:45.019 --> 00:07:46.500
 one of you will betray you.

00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:47.399
 He knows it's Judas.

00:07:48.740 --> 00:07:50.959
 But it's one thing to know your loved one

00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:51.859
 will betray you,

00:07:52.639 --> 00:07:54.519
 and it's another to actually experience it

00:07:54.519 --> 00:07:55.939
 as they stare at you,

00:07:56.719 --> 00:07:58.359
 doing it right in front of you,

00:07:58.360 --> 00:08:00.600
 and kissing you on the cheek.

00:08:02.060 --> 00:08:04.060
 Judas has turned a loving greeting

00:08:04.060 --> 00:08:06.300
 to an act of treachery.

00:08:08.460 --> 00:08:10.560
 And as you look at this scene unfold,

00:08:10.740 --> 00:08:11.759
 you just want to cry out,

00:08:12.080 --> 00:08:13.439
 what are you doing, Judas?

00:08:14.699 --> 00:08:17.100
 Look how Jesus has loved you.

00:08:17.480 --> 00:08:19.420
 Look how wonderful Jesus is.

00:08:19.420 --> 00:08:21.480
 How could you do that, Judas?

00:08:21.939 --> 00:08:23.100
 What are you doing?

00:08:23.100 --> 00:08:26.760
 This is so ugly, isn't it?

00:08:28.760 --> 00:08:30.060
 And this scene,

00:08:30.420 --> 00:08:32.000
 it's a real warning for us.

00:08:32.899 --> 00:08:34.879
 If we walk away from Christ,

00:08:35.779 --> 00:08:37.620
 this is what we're doing.

00:08:38.639 --> 00:08:40.920
 We're stabbing Christ in the back

00:08:40.920 --> 00:08:42.240
 and siding with the enemy.

00:08:43.460 --> 00:08:44.740
 And it's really ugly.

00:08:46.980 --> 00:08:47.420
 And so,

00:08:47.639 --> 00:08:49.779
 if you're thinking about doing the same,

00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:52.220
 if you're here thinking about

00:08:52.220 --> 00:08:53.480
 walking away from the faith,

00:08:54.100 --> 00:08:55.660
 this is your warning.

00:08:56.500 --> 00:08:57.340
 Don't do it.

00:08:58.920 --> 00:08:59.879
 Don't do it.

00:08:59.980 --> 00:09:01.399
 It's not a better option.

00:09:02.940 --> 00:09:05.019
 Look at the friend you have in Jesus.

00:09:06.019 --> 00:09:07.800
 Look how good he's been to you.

00:09:07.920 --> 00:09:08.899
 Don't do it.

00:09:11.540 --> 00:09:12.840
 Did you see what Mark

00:09:12.840 --> 00:09:15.540
 calls Judas in verse 44?

00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:18.660
 He stops calling him Judas

00:09:18.660 --> 00:09:20.899
 and he's called the betrayer.

00:09:22.220 --> 00:09:23.340
 The betrayer.

00:09:23.420 --> 00:09:23.899
 Judas

00:09:23.899 --> 00:09:26.840
 is defined by his sin here.

00:09:27.860 --> 00:09:29.340
 When you walk away forever,

00:09:30.180 --> 00:09:32.200
 you are defined by your sin forever.

00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:34.080
 Judas,

00:09:34.420 --> 00:09:34.980
 we know,

00:09:35.100 --> 00:09:35.980
 had never repented,

00:09:36.779 --> 00:09:38.139
 never sought forgiveness.

00:09:39.100 --> 00:09:39.700
 We know that

00:09:39.700 --> 00:09:41.899
 he just killed himself.

00:09:43.779 --> 00:09:44.279
 And so,

00:09:44.379 --> 00:09:45.019
 he is forever

00:09:45.019 --> 00:09:46.139
 written on these pages

00:09:46.139 --> 00:09:46.980
 in front of us

00:09:46.980 --> 00:09:48.639
 and labeled in God's eyes

00:09:48.639 --> 00:09:50.000
 the betrayer.

00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:52.220
 Judas is forever

00:09:52.220 --> 00:09:53.120
 the betrayer.

00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:55.299
 On the last day,

00:09:55.960 --> 00:09:56.799
 Judas' sins

00:09:56.799 --> 00:09:57.720
 will not be covered

00:09:57.720 --> 00:09:58.360
 by Judas.

00:09:59.240 --> 00:10:00.480
 God will look on him

00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:01.320
 and see

00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:02.840
 the betrayer.

00:10:04.659 --> 00:10:05.440
 And Judas

00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:06.259
 will be judged

00:10:06.259 --> 00:10:06.759
 accordingly.

00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:08.399
 And that's because

00:10:08.399 --> 00:10:09.299
 he never repented.

00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:12.139
 And that will be

00:10:12.139 --> 00:10:13.340
 the case for anyone

00:10:13.340 --> 00:10:14.500
 who doesn't repent.

00:10:15.340 --> 00:10:16.299
 They will be forever

00:10:16.299 --> 00:10:17.879
 defined by their sin.

00:10:17.879 --> 00:10:20.379
 But,

00:10:20.919 --> 00:10:21.539
 we need to know

00:10:21.539 --> 00:10:22.539
 that Judas,

00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:24.259
 he could have repented.

00:10:25.600 --> 00:10:26.519
 If Judas

00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:27.460
 came to Christ

00:10:27.460 --> 00:10:28.259
 after this

00:10:28.259 --> 00:10:29.759
 and sought forgiveness,

00:10:31.179 --> 00:10:31.399
 do you know

00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:31.820
 what would happen?

00:10:31.980 --> 00:10:32.840
 Christ would have

00:10:32.840 --> 00:10:33.419
 forgiven him.

00:10:34.700 --> 00:10:35.799
 Even with this sin.

00:10:35.939 --> 00:10:36.980
 This is quite possibly

00:10:36.980 --> 00:10:38.220
 one of the worst sins

00:10:38.220 --> 00:10:39.039
 ever recorded.

00:10:40.039 --> 00:10:40.779
 Betraying the

00:10:40.779 --> 00:10:41.639
 Son of God.

00:10:42.919 --> 00:10:43.720
 And Jesus

00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:44.100
 would have

00:10:44.100 --> 00:10:45.139
 forgiven him.

00:10:45.139 --> 00:10:47.799
 And that goes

00:10:47.799 --> 00:10:48.399
 for you too.

00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:49.620
 You can come

00:10:49.620 --> 00:10:50.299
 to Christ

00:10:50.299 --> 00:10:51.580
 and he will

00:10:51.580 --> 00:10:52.299
 forgive even

00:10:52.299 --> 00:10:53.559
 the most heinous,

00:10:53.960 --> 00:10:55.179
 despicable sins.

00:10:55.699 --> 00:10:56.419
 It doesn't matter

00:10:56.419 --> 00:10:57.240
 what you've done.

00:10:57.679 --> 00:10:58.539
 Christ can

00:10:58.539 --> 00:10:59.120
 forgive it.

00:11:00.419 --> 00:11:01.199
 And when you

00:11:01.199 --> 00:11:01.899
 come to Christ,

00:11:02.259 --> 00:11:02.860
 he completely

00:11:02.860 --> 00:11:04.419
 redefines who you are.

00:11:05.379 --> 00:11:06.299
 He takes

00:11:06.299 --> 00:11:07.039
 your sin

00:11:07.039 --> 00:11:08.740
 so you're

00:11:08.740 --> 00:11:09.240
 no longer

00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:10.179
 the betrayer

00:11:10.179 --> 00:11:11.840
 or the adulterer

00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:13.240
 or the murderer

00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:14.180
 or the liar,

00:11:15.299 --> 00:11:16.279
 he takes

00:11:16.279 --> 00:11:16.700
 that label

00:11:16.700 --> 00:11:17.539
 away from you,

00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:19.120
 throws it away

00:11:19.120 --> 00:11:19.960
 and then he

00:11:19.960 --> 00:11:20.899
 calls you friend.

00:11:23.379 --> 00:11:24.139
 But Judas

00:11:24.139 --> 00:11:24.840
 didn't do that.

00:11:26.220 --> 00:11:27.039
 He betrayed

00:11:27.039 --> 00:11:27.620
 Jesus,

00:11:27.779 --> 00:11:29.000
 stout him in the back

00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:30.000
 and then

00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:31.120
 never returned.

00:11:32.600 --> 00:11:33.200
 Jesus was

00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:33.940
 left there

00:11:33.940 --> 00:11:34.759
 forsaken

00:11:34.759 --> 00:11:35.620
 and crushed

00:11:35.620 --> 00:11:36.379
 by his friend.

00:11:36.379 --> 00:11:39.639
 the pain

00:11:39.639 --> 00:11:40.299
 and agony

00:11:40.299 --> 00:11:40.799
 that Jesus

00:11:40.799 --> 00:11:41.820
 felt on the cross.

00:11:42.340 --> 00:11:43.059
 It wasn't just

00:11:43.059 --> 00:11:44.559
 exclusive to the cross.

00:11:44.860 --> 00:11:45.320
 His suffering

00:11:45.320 --> 00:11:46.439
 didn't just happen

00:11:46.439 --> 00:11:47.259
 when he was nailed

00:11:47.259 --> 00:11:47.980
 to the cross.

00:11:49.120 --> 00:11:49.840
 He reached his

00:11:49.840 --> 00:11:50.200
 climax

00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:51.299
 on the cross

00:11:51.299 --> 00:11:52.159
 but he suffered

00:11:52.159 --> 00:11:53.320
 before that too

00:11:53.320 --> 00:11:54.379
 and it's happening

00:11:54.379 --> 00:11:55.559
 right here with Judas.

00:11:56.059 --> 00:11:56.700
 This moment

00:11:56.700 --> 00:11:57.439
 of betrayal,

00:11:58.080 --> 00:11:59.360
 it's an outside

00:11:59.360 --> 00:12:00.200
 symptom

00:12:00.200 --> 00:12:01.559
 and a picture

00:12:01.559 --> 00:12:02.600
 of what's going on

00:12:02.600 --> 00:12:03.379
 in the deeper

00:12:03.379 --> 00:12:04.580
 spiritual reality.

00:12:04.580 --> 00:12:06.960
 on the cross

00:12:06.960 --> 00:12:07.820
 Jesus felt

00:12:07.820 --> 00:12:08.440
 the pain

00:12:08.440 --> 00:12:09.620
 of being forsaken.

00:12:10.740 --> 00:12:11.600
 All warmth

00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:12.680
 and comfort

00:12:12.680 --> 00:12:13.180
 in him

00:12:13.180 --> 00:12:13.800
 was turned

00:12:13.800 --> 00:12:14.480
 to pain

00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:15.020
 and agony

00:12:15.020 --> 00:12:16.480
 and it was

00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:17.100
 so severe

00:12:17.100 --> 00:12:17.639
 on the cross

00:12:17.639 --> 00:12:19.060
 that it's appearing

00:12:19.060 --> 00:12:20.020
 in the events

00:12:20.020 --> 00:12:20.980
 of his life now.

00:12:22.040 --> 00:12:23.120
 It's like a stomach

00:12:23.120 --> 00:12:23.520
 bug

00:12:23.520 --> 00:12:24.639
 that's so bad

00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:25.560
 that you can see

00:12:25.560 --> 00:12:26.840
 it in your face

00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:27.759
 and in your skin.

00:12:29.020 --> 00:12:29.960
 This pain

00:12:29.960 --> 00:12:30.740
 he's feeling

00:12:30.740 --> 00:12:31.080
 now,

00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:32.320
 it's an outside

00:12:32.320 --> 00:12:32.960
 picture

00:12:32.960 --> 00:12:34.100
 of the inner

00:12:34.100 --> 00:12:35.279
 spiritual reality

00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:36.759
 that he will feel

00:12:36.759 --> 00:12:37.480
 on the cross.

00:12:38.340 --> 00:12:39.159
 Jesus being

00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:39.800
 stabbed

00:12:39.800 --> 00:12:40.620
 in the back

00:12:40.620 --> 00:12:41.279
 here

00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:42.899
 is a foretaste

00:12:42.899 --> 00:12:43.420
 of him being

00:12:43.420 --> 00:12:43.940
 stabbed

00:12:43.940 --> 00:12:44.620
 in his hands

00:12:44.620 --> 00:12:45.320
 and his feet.

00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:47.480
 Him being

00:12:47.480 --> 00:12:48.120
 forsaken

00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:49.019
 by his friend

00:12:49.019 --> 00:12:49.440
 here

00:12:49.440 --> 00:12:50.680
 is a picture

00:12:50.680 --> 00:12:51.200
 of him being

00:12:51.200 --> 00:12:51.800
 forsaken

00:12:51.800 --> 00:12:52.540
 on the cross.

00:12:54.560 --> 00:12:55.460
 But it doesn't

00:12:55.460 --> 00:12:56.139
 stop there

00:12:56.139 --> 00:12:57.820
 because he wasn't

00:12:57.820 --> 00:12:58.540
 just betrayed

00:12:58.540 --> 00:13:00.040
 but he was also

00:13:00.040 --> 00:13:01.180
 treated as a criminal.

00:13:02.379 --> 00:13:03.340
 That's my second point.

00:13:03.340 --> 00:13:04.460
 Jesus was treated

00:13:04.460 --> 00:13:05.320
 as a criminal.

00:13:06.120 --> 00:13:06.920
 Jesus was treated

00:13:06.920 --> 00:13:07.700
 as a criminal.

00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:10.440
 After this

00:13:10.440 --> 00:13:12.480
 Jesus faces up

00:13:12.480 --> 00:13:13.100
 to this mob

00:13:13.100 --> 00:13:14.879
 and he speaks up

00:13:14.879 --> 00:13:15.759
 which is pretty

00:13:15.759 --> 00:13:16.340
 striking.

00:13:16.580 --> 00:13:17.680
 He actually faces

00:13:17.680 --> 00:13:18.259
 up to them.

00:13:18.980 --> 00:13:20.060
 Imagine a bunch

00:13:20.060 --> 00:13:20.820
 of football

00:13:20.820 --> 00:13:21.680
 hooligans

00:13:21.679 --> 00:13:22.559
 and what's the

00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:23.279
 scary club?

00:13:23.279 --> 00:13:23.699
 Millwall.

00:13:24.199 --> 00:13:25.719
 Imagine a bunch

00:13:25.719 --> 00:13:26.500
 of Millwall

00:13:26.500 --> 00:13:27.159
 football

00:13:27.159 --> 00:13:27.739
 hooligans

00:13:27.739 --> 00:13:29.199
 coming up to you

00:13:29.199 --> 00:13:30.019
 with knuckle

00:13:30.019 --> 00:13:30.719
 dusters

00:13:30.719 --> 00:13:32.000
 and bats

00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:32.779
 and they're

00:13:32.779 --> 00:13:33.279
 stalking

00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:34.139
 straight at you

00:13:34.139 --> 00:13:35.599
 and imagine

00:13:35.599 --> 00:13:36.139
 you just said

00:13:36.139 --> 00:13:36.679
 hey,

00:13:37.019 --> 00:13:38.019
 what do you think

00:13:38.019 --> 00:13:38.620
 you're doing?

00:13:39.500 --> 00:13:40.219
 What do you think

00:13:40.219 --> 00:13:41.679
 you're trying to do

00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:42.299
 with me here?

00:13:43.739 --> 00:13:44.479
 Can you imagine

00:13:44.479 --> 00:13:44.979
 that scene?

00:13:45.139 --> 00:13:45.819
 Well that's what's

00:13:45.819 --> 00:13:46.740
 going on with Jesus

00:13:46.740 --> 00:13:47.219
 here.

00:13:47.859 --> 00:13:48.859
 Look at verse 48.

00:13:48.860 --> 00:13:50.659
 And Jesus said

00:13:50.659 --> 00:13:50.980
 to them

00:13:50.980 --> 00:13:52.800
 have you come out

00:13:52.800 --> 00:13:53.879
 as against

00:13:53.879 --> 00:13:54.680
 a robber

00:13:54.680 --> 00:13:56.240
 with swords

00:13:56.240 --> 00:13:56.960
 and clubs

00:13:56.960 --> 00:13:57.800
 to capture me?

00:13:59.220 --> 00:14:00.200
 Jesus looks

00:14:00.200 --> 00:14:00.879
 at this crowd

00:14:00.879 --> 00:14:01.340
 and says

00:14:01.340 --> 00:14:02.639
 why have you

00:14:02.639 --> 00:14:03.039
 come out

00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:03.620
 by this?

00:14:04.899 --> 00:14:05.840
 This is how

00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:06.259
 you treat

00:14:06.259 --> 00:14:06.860
 a criminal.

00:14:08.000 --> 00:14:08.500
 This is what

00:14:08.500 --> 00:14:08.899
 you do

00:14:08.899 --> 00:14:09.259
 when you're

00:14:09.259 --> 00:14:09.820
 on the hunt

00:14:09.820 --> 00:14:10.560
 for a fugitive

00:14:10.560 --> 00:14:11.200
 on the run.

00:14:12.560 --> 00:14:13.019
 And on top

00:14:13.019 --> 00:14:13.360
 of that

00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:14.379
 Jesus says

00:14:14.379 --> 00:14:15.639
 in verse 49

00:14:15.639 --> 00:14:17.899
 day after day

00:14:17.899 --> 00:14:18.639
 I was with you

00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:19.120
 in the temple

00:14:19.120 --> 00:14:19.600
 teaching

00:14:19.600 --> 00:14:20.659
 and you did

00:14:20.659 --> 00:14:21.580
 not see to me.

00:14:23.000 --> 00:14:23.379
 He says

00:14:23.379 --> 00:14:24.559
 I was in public

00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:25.539
 the whole time.

00:14:25.899 --> 00:14:26.799
 I've been open

00:14:26.799 --> 00:14:27.379
 to you

00:14:27.379 --> 00:14:28.620
 and you've had

00:14:28.620 --> 00:14:29.340
 your opportunity

00:14:29.340 --> 00:14:30.379
 this whole time.

00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:31.419
 I was even

00:14:31.419 --> 00:14:32.080
 just teaching

00:14:32.080 --> 00:14:32.740
 in the temple.

00:14:33.799 --> 00:14:34.639
 You've all come

00:14:34.639 --> 00:14:35.179
 from the chief

00:14:35.179 --> 00:14:35.559
 priests

00:14:35.559 --> 00:14:36.519
 and the scribes

00:14:36.519 --> 00:14:38.860
 and the elders.

00:14:39.740 --> 00:14:40.439
 You and your

00:14:40.439 --> 00:14:40.919
 bosses

00:14:40.919 --> 00:14:42.580
 have all seen me

00:14:42.580 --> 00:14:44.559
 yet you come

00:14:44.559 --> 00:14:45.080
 to me

00:14:45.080 --> 00:14:46.399
 and get me

00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:47.299
 like a mob

00:14:47.299 --> 00:14:48.059
 for a criminal.

00:14:50.919 --> 00:14:51.359
 Now we can

00:14:51.359 --> 00:14:51.919
 ask here

00:14:51.919 --> 00:14:53.500
 why didn't

00:14:53.500 --> 00:14:54.019
 they get him

00:14:54.019 --> 00:14:54.359
 before?

00:14:55.939 --> 00:14:56.539
 They did

00:14:56.539 --> 00:14:57.059
 see him

00:14:57.059 --> 00:14:58.399
 why didn't

00:14:58.399 --> 00:14:58.779
 they get him

00:14:58.779 --> 00:14:58.959
 before?

00:14:59.099 --> 00:14:59.559
 Why are they

00:14:59.559 --> 00:14:59.939
 coming out

00:14:59.939 --> 00:15:00.559
 like this?

00:15:02.019 --> 00:15:02.759
 Well we hear

00:15:02.759 --> 00:15:03.659
 a lot in

00:15:03.659 --> 00:15:04.399
 the gospels

00:15:04.399 --> 00:15:04.759
 that the

00:15:04.759 --> 00:15:05.500
 Jewish authorities

00:15:05.500 --> 00:15:06.579
 hated Jesus

00:15:06.579 --> 00:15:08.240
 but the people

00:15:08.240 --> 00:15:09.159
 the crowds

00:15:09.159 --> 00:15:10.339
 they loved

00:15:10.339 --> 00:15:11.059
 Jesus.

00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:12.379
 He drew

00:15:12.379 --> 00:15:13.179
 crowds to

00:15:13.179 --> 00:15:13.519
 himself

00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:14.419
 and showed

00:15:14.419 --> 00:15:15.059
 compassion

00:15:15.059 --> 00:15:15.480
 on them

00:15:15.480 --> 00:15:16.139
 that they

00:15:16.139 --> 00:15:16.840
 followed him

00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:17.340
 and they

00:15:17.340 --> 00:15:17.840
 couldn't wait

00:15:17.840 --> 00:15:18.379
 to hear his

00:15:18.379 --> 00:15:18.860
 teaching.

00:15:20.299 --> 00:15:20.799
 And so

00:15:20.799 --> 00:15:21.679
 even though the

00:15:21.679 --> 00:15:22.199
 Jewish authorities

00:15:22.199 --> 00:15:22.860
 hated Jesus

00:15:22.860 --> 00:15:23.819
 they were also

00:15:23.819 --> 00:15:24.600
 scared of the

00:15:24.600 --> 00:15:24.860
 people.

00:15:25.960 --> 00:15:26.460
 They knew

00:15:26.460 --> 00:15:27.139
 that if they

00:15:27.139 --> 00:15:28.159
 arrested Jesus

00:15:28.159 --> 00:15:29.159
 in public

00:15:29.159 --> 00:15:29.579
 while he's

00:15:29.579 --> 00:15:30.000
 teaching

00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:30.439
 while he's

00:15:30.439 --> 00:15:31.319
 standing up

00:15:31.319 --> 00:15:32.679
 they knew

00:15:32.679 --> 00:15:33.159
 that there'd be

00:15:33.159 --> 00:15:33.699
 an uproar

00:15:33.699 --> 00:15:34.279
 if that happened.

00:15:35.100 --> 00:15:35.539
 They knew

00:15:35.539 --> 00:15:35.919
 the people

00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:36.620
 would be crying

00:15:36.620 --> 00:15:37.759
 what are you

00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:37.980
 doing?

00:15:38.340 --> 00:15:39.159
 Get your hands

00:15:39.159 --> 00:15:39.639
 on him.

00:15:40.299 --> 00:15:40.899
 Have you not

00:15:40.899 --> 00:15:41.459
 seen his

00:15:41.459 --> 00:15:41.919
 miracles?

00:15:42.139 --> 00:15:42.299
 Have you

00:15:42.299 --> 00:15:43.480
 not heard

00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:43.959
 him teach

00:15:43.959 --> 00:15:44.699
 with authority?

00:15:45.319 --> 00:15:45.740
 Get your

00:15:45.740 --> 00:15:46.319
 hands off

00:15:46.319 --> 00:15:46.519
 him.

00:15:46.980 --> 00:15:48.120
 He hasn't

00:15:48.120 --> 00:15:48.759
 done anything.

00:15:49.000 --> 00:15:49.379
 What are you

00:15:49.379 --> 00:15:49.720
 doing?

00:15:51.779 --> 00:15:52.259
 And so

00:15:52.259 --> 00:15:54.079
 the authorities

00:15:54.079 --> 00:15:54.879
 this mob

00:15:54.879 --> 00:15:55.980
 they couldn't

00:15:55.980 --> 00:15:56.439
 do it in

00:15:56.439 --> 00:15:56.720
 public.

00:15:56.939 --> 00:15:57.439
 They had to

00:15:57.439 --> 00:15:57.860
 do it under

00:15:57.860 --> 00:15:58.399
 the cloak of

00:15:58.399 --> 00:15:58.840
 darkness.

00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:01.379
 There's another

00:16:01.379 --> 00:16:01.759
 reason.

00:16:02.840 --> 00:16:03.279
 Because

00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:05.000
 by coming to

00:16:05.000 --> 00:16:05.720
 Jesus with

00:16:05.720 --> 00:16:06.360
 swords and

00:16:06.360 --> 00:16:06.980
 clubs like

00:16:06.980 --> 00:16:07.699
 they are now

00:16:07.699 --> 00:16:09.360
 Jesus is

00:16:09.360 --> 00:16:10.019
 right in what

00:16:10.019 --> 00:16:10.579
 he says.

00:16:10.899 --> 00:16:11.500
 it makes

00:16:11.500 --> 00:16:12.439
 him out to

00:16:12.439 --> 00:16:12.879
 look like a

00:16:12.879 --> 00:16:13.199
 criminal.

00:16:13.779 --> 00:16:14.139
 He says

00:16:14.139 --> 00:16:14.919
 have you

00:16:14.919 --> 00:16:15.459
 come out

00:16:15.459 --> 00:16:15.980
 as against

00:16:15.980 --> 00:16:16.740
 a robber

00:16:16.740 --> 00:16:17.659
 with swords

00:16:17.659 --> 00:16:18.120
 and clubs

00:16:18.120 --> 00:16:18.579
 to capture

00:16:18.579 --> 00:16:18.879
 me?

00:16:19.919 --> 00:16:20.740
 This doesn't

00:16:20.740 --> 00:16:21.179
 make Jesus

00:16:21.179 --> 00:16:21.759
 look good

00:16:21.759 --> 00:16:22.360
 does it?

00:16:23.159 --> 00:16:23.959
 This is a

00:16:23.959 --> 00:16:24.980
 crafty way

00:16:24.980 --> 00:16:25.379
 of making

00:16:25.379 --> 00:16:26.079
 Jesus look

00:16:26.079 --> 00:16:26.539
 bad.

00:16:28.039 --> 00:16:28.579
 I love

00:16:28.579 --> 00:16:29.019
 watching

00:16:29.019 --> 00:16:30.419
 police TV

00:16:30.419 --> 00:16:31.539
 shows like

00:16:31.539 --> 00:16:32.100
 Road Wars.

00:16:32.279 --> 00:16:32.579
 Have you seen

00:16:32.579 --> 00:16:32.980
 Road Wars?

00:16:33.059 --> 00:16:33.360
 That's one of

00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:33.879
 my favourites.

00:16:34.779 --> 00:16:35.500
 I love

00:16:35.500 --> 00:16:36.079
 especially the

00:16:36.079 --> 00:16:37.120
 scenes where

00:16:37.120 --> 00:16:38.000
 they do

00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:38.740
 police raids

00:16:38.740 --> 00:16:39.240
 in someone's

00:16:39.240 --> 00:16:39.600
 house.

00:16:39.779 --> 00:16:40.240
 Like drug

00:16:40.240 --> 00:16:40.480
 dealers'

00:16:40.480 --> 00:16:40.819
 house.

00:16:40.899 --> 00:16:42.360
 or whoever.

00:16:43.000 --> 00:16:43.259
 And they'll

00:16:43.259 --> 00:16:43.840
 burst into

00:16:43.840 --> 00:16:44.199
 the house

00:16:44.199 --> 00:16:45.039
 with batons

00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:45.879
 and shields

00:16:45.879 --> 00:16:46.459
 and sometimes

00:16:46.459 --> 00:16:47.439
 guns, if it's

00:16:47.439 --> 00:16:48.000
 a good episode.

00:16:48.699 --> 00:16:49.279
 And you

00:16:49.279 --> 00:16:50.039
 always see

00:16:50.039 --> 00:16:50.699
 in those

00:16:50.699 --> 00:16:51.600
 police raids,

00:16:52.100 --> 00:16:52.579
 you always see

00:16:52.579 --> 00:16:53.480
 glimpses of

00:16:53.480 --> 00:16:54.000
 the neighbours

00:16:54.000 --> 00:16:54.600
 coming out of

00:16:54.600 --> 00:16:55.139
 their houses

00:16:55.139 --> 00:16:56.419
 and standing

00:16:56.419 --> 00:16:57.279
 outside watching.

00:16:58.419 --> 00:16:59.120
 And you know

00:16:59.120 --> 00:16:59.500
 that they're

00:16:59.500 --> 00:17:00.079
 all thinking

00:17:00.079 --> 00:17:01.959
 they've definitely

00:17:01.959 --> 00:17:02.480
 been up to

00:17:02.480 --> 00:17:02.919
 no good.

00:17:03.899 --> 00:17:04.759
 That must have

00:17:04.759 --> 00:17:05.599
 been drugs

00:17:05.599 --> 00:17:07.059
 or something

00:17:07.059 --> 00:17:08.099
 really bad.

00:17:09.000 --> 00:17:09.339
 You know,

00:17:09.439 --> 00:17:10.139
 just the

00:17:10.139 --> 00:17:10.980
 police raid

00:17:10.980 --> 00:17:12.099
 makes that

00:17:12.099 --> 00:17:12.639
 person look

00:17:12.639 --> 00:17:13.319
 guilty already,

00:17:13.399 --> 00:17:13.839
 doesn't it?

00:17:15.099 --> 00:17:15.819
 Well, this

00:17:15.819 --> 00:17:16.899
 crowd is like

00:17:16.899 --> 00:17:17.740
 that police raid.

00:17:18.740 --> 00:17:19.259
 It doesn't

00:17:19.259 --> 00:17:20.339
 matter what

00:17:20.339 --> 00:17:21.039
 Jesus has done.

00:17:21.119 --> 00:17:21.559
 It doesn't

00:17:21.559 --> 00:17:22.019
 matter that

00:17:22.019 --> 00:17:22.799
 Jesus is

00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:23.679
 sinless and

00:17:23.679 --> 00:17:24.579
 he's entirely

00:17:24.579 --> 00:17:25.000
 innocent.

00:17:25.759 --> 00:17:26.699
 This mob

00:17:26.699 --> 00:17:27.359
 just makes

00:17:27.359 --> 00:17:28.099
 him look bad.

00:17:28.939 --> 00:17:29.299
 It makes

00:17:29.299 --> 00:17:29.919
 people think,

00:17:30.579 --> 00:17:30.899
 oh well,

00:17:31.000 --> 00:17:31.639
 he must have

00:17:31.639 --> 00:17:32.099
 done something

00:17:32.099 --> 00:17:32.459
 bad.

00:17:34.439 --> 00:17:35.279
 They knew

00:17:35.279 --> 00:17:35.699
 they had

00:17:35.699 --> 00:17:36.359
 nothing to

00:17:36.359 --> 00:17:36.859
 hold against

00:17:36.859 --> 00:17:38.079
 him and

00:17:38.079 --> 00:17:38.879
 so they had

00:17:38.879 --> 00:17:39.740
 to misrepresent

00:17:39.740 --> 00:17:40.119
 him.

00:17:40.599 --> 00:17:40.959
 They had to

00:17:40.959 --> 00:17:41.599
 lie about

00:17:41.599 --> 00:17:41.899
 him.

00:17:44.519 --> 00:17:44.859
 But

00:17:44.859 --> 00:17:45.299
 interestingly,

00:17:45.599 --> 00:17:46.439
 Jesus doesn't

00:17:46.439 --> 00:17:46.959
 protest.

00:17:48.399 --> 00:17:48.980
 He doesn't

00:17:48.980 --> 00:17:49.639
 try to stop

00:17:49.639 --> 00:17:49.939
 them.

00:17:50.919 --> 00:17:51.399
 One of his

00:17:51.399 --> 00:17:52.159
 disciples tries

00:17:52.159 --> 00:17:52.740
 to stop him

00:17:52.740 --> 00:17:53.659
 in verse 47.

00:17:54.219 --> 00:17:54.919
 He swipes at

00:17:54.919 --> 00:17:55.359
 them with a

00:17:55.359 --> 00:17:55.779
 sword.

00:17:56.740 --> 00:17:57.240
 But Jesus

00:17:57.240 --> 00:17:58.019
 doesn't try

00:17:58.019 --> 00:17:58.539
 any of that.

00:17:59.059 --> 00:17:59.480
 He doesn't

00:17:59.480 --> 00:17:59.859
 let that

00:17:59.859 --> 00:18:01.599
 sword swing

00:18:01.599 --> 00:18:02.240
 play out.

00:18:03.379 --> 00:18:04.119
 Jesus simply

00:18:04.119 --> 00:18:04.579
 says at the

00:18:04.579 --> 00:18:04.919
 end of verse

00:18:04.919 --> 00:18:05.359
 49,

00:18:07.159 --> 00:18:07.740
 but let the

00:18:07.740 --> 00:18:08.240
 scriptures be

00:18:08.240 --> 00:18:08.619
 fulfilled.

00:18:10.699 --> 00:18:11.480
 He says,

00:18:11.819 --> 00:18:12.559
 you want to

00:18:12.559 --> 00:18:13.079
 label me as

00:18:13.079 --> 00:18:14.240
 a robber and

00:18:14.240 --> 00:18:14.779
 treat me as

00:18:14.779 --> 00:18:15.279
 a criminal.

00:18:16.299 --> 00:18:16.579
 Fine.

00:18:17.759 --> 00:18:18.240
 Let the

00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:18.779
 scriptures be

00:18:18.779 --> 00:18:19.199
 fulfilled.

00:18:21.859 --> 00:18:22.439
 And what

00:18:22.439 --> 00:18:22.699
 are the

00:18:22.699 --> 00:18:23.599
 scriptures being

00:18:23.599 --> 00:18:24.219
 fulfilled here?

00:18:25.219 --> 00:18:25.419
 Well,

00:18:25.500 --> 00:18:25.980
 Luke's gospel

00:18:25.980 --> 00:18:26.559
 gives us an

00:18:26.559 --> 00:18:26.939
 answer.

00:18:28.059 --> 00:18:28.179
 It's

00:18:28.179 --> 00:18:29.059
 Isaiah 53,

00:18:30.159 --> 00:18:31.339
 which is a

00:18:31.339 --> 00:18:31.879
 passage all

00:18:31.879 --> 00:18:32.279
 about a

00:18:32.279 --> 00:18:32.599
 suffering

00:18:32.599 --> 00:18:33.359
 servant who

00:18:33.359 --> 00:18:33.879
 saves us

00:18:33.879 --> 00:18:34.240
 from our

00:18:34.240 --> 00:18:34.639
 sins.

00:18:35.639 --> 00:18:36.039
 It says

00:18:36.039 --> 00:18:36.319
 this,

00:18:36.379 --> 00:18:36.699
 and he

00:18:36.699 --> 00:18:37.339
 was numbered

00:18:37.339 --> 00:18:38.339
 with the

00:18:38.339 --> 00:18:39.199
 transgressors.

00:18:40.539 --> 00:18:40.859
 He was

00:18:40.859 --> 00:18:41.480
 numbered with

00:18:41.480 --> 00:18:42.399
 the transgressors.

00:18:44.539 --> 00:18:45.099
 Scripture

00:18:45.099 --> 00:18:46.079
 says that the

00:18:46.079 --> 00:18:46.879
 saviour of

00:18:46.879 --> 00:18:47.839
 sinners must be

00:18:47.839 --> 00:18:48.539
 numbered with

00:18:48.539 --> 00:18:49.539
 the transgressors.

00:18:50.639 --> 00:18:51.399
 This is

00:18:51.399 --> 00:18:52.480
 Jesus becoming

00:18:52.480 --> 00:18:53.059
 the suffering

00:18:53.059 --> 00:18:53.659
 servant of

00:18:53.659 --> 00:18:54.579
 Isaiah 53.

00:18:55.720 --> 00:18:56.539
 So just let

00:18:56.539 --> 00:18:57.179
 me read out

00:18:57.179 --> 00:18:58.639
 that verse.

00:18:58.640 --> 00:18:59.200
 he poured

00:18:59.200 --> 00:18:59.640
 out his

00:18:59.640 --> 00:19:00.020
 son to

00:19:00.020 --> 00:19:01.160
 death and

00:19:01.160 --> 00:19:01.680
 was numbered

00:19:01.680 --> 00:19:02.020
 with the

00:19:02.020 --> 00:19:02.800
 transgressors,

00:19:03.160 --> 00:19:03.580
 yet he

00:19:03.580 --> 00:19:04.060
 bore the

00:19:04.060 --> 00:19:04.560
 sin of

00:19:04.560 --> 00:19:04.820
 many.

00:19:06.120 --> 00:19:07.120
 This scene

00:19:07.120 --> 00:19:07.680
 is Jesus

00:19:07.680 --> 00:19:08.200
 fulfilling

00:19:08.200 --> 00:19:08.800
 that prophecy.

00:19:09.320 --> 00:19:09.700
 This is

00:19:09.700 --> 00:19:10.200
 Jesus being

00:19:10.200 --> 00:19:11.160
 treated as a

00:19:11.160 --> 00:19:12.060
 criminal and

00:19:12.060 --> 00:19:13.000
 a sinner instead

00:19:13.000 --> 00:19:13.740
 of the real

00:19:13.740 --> 00:19:14.780
 sinners and

00:19:14.780 --> 00:19:15.180
 criminals.

00:19:16.259 --> 00:19:17.000
 This is

00:19:17.000 --> 00:19:18.520
 Jesus bearing

00:19:18.520 --> 00:19:19.500
 the sin of

00:19:19.500 --> 00:19:19.800
 many.

00:19:21.400 --> 00:19:22.400
 This is an

00:19:22.400 --> 00:19:23.280
 outward symptom

00:19:23.279 --> 00:19:24.639
 of the deeper

00:19:24.639 --> 00:19:25.740
 spiritual reality.

00:19:26.119 --> 00:19:26.599
 Christ being

00:19:26.599 --> 00:19:27.460
 treated as a

00:19:27.460 --> 00:19:27.899
 robber and

00:19:27.899 --> 00:19:28.519
 a criminal,

00:19:29.399 --> 00:19:30.339
 it shows how

00:19:30.339 --> 00:19:31.279
 he was treated

00:19:31.279 --> 00:19:32.819
 on the cross

00:19:32.819 --> 00:19:33.539
 under God's

00:19:33.539 --> 00:19:33.960
 wrath.

00:19:35.440 --> 00:19:35.899
 He was

00:19:35.899 --> 00:19:36.799
 cursed and

00:19:36.799 --> 00:19:37.799
 punished as a

00:19:37.799 --> 00:19:38.180
 criminal.

00:19:39.859 --> 00:19:40.899
 The sinless

00:19:40.899 --> 00:19:41.680
 Lord of

00:19:41.680 --> 00:19:42.099
 Glory,

00:19:42.859 --> 00:19:43.660
 the spotless

00:19:43.660 --> 00:19:44.119
 Lamb,

00:19:44.480 --> 00:19:45.200
 the perfect

00:19:45.200 --> 00:19:45.720
 King of

00:19:45.720 --> 00:19:46.899
 Kings,

00:19:48.839 --> 00:19:49.460
 that man

00:19:49.460 --> 00:19:50.420
 hung on a

00:19:50.420 --> 00:19:51.420
 cross as a

00:19:51.420 --> 00:19:52.019
 robber.

00:19:53.279 --> 00:19:54.359
 How awful.

00:19:56.899 --> 00:19:57.399
 And he

00:19:57.399 --> 00:19:57.940
 stands in

00:19:57.940 --> 00:19:58.279
 front of

00:19:58.279 --> 00:19:58.759
 this mob

00:19:58.759 --> 00:19:59.399
 and says,

00:20:00.440 --> 00:20:00.799
 okay,

00:20:01.740 --> 00:20:02.339
 treat me

00:20:02.339 --> 00:20:02.920
 like that.

00:20:04.200 --> 00:20:04.660
 Handcuff

00:20:04.660 --> 00:20:06.200
 me and

00:20:06.200 --> 00:20:06.579
 lead me

00:20:06.579 --> 00:20:06.859
 away.

00:20:07.819 --> 00:20:08.579
 I must

00:20:08.579 --> 00:20:09.480
 fulfill the

00:20:09.480 --> 00:20:09.839
 scriptures.

00:20:11.740 --> 00:20:12.599
 And why

00:20:12.599 --> 00:20:12.940
 did he

00:20:12.940 --> 00:20:13.619
 just take

00:20:13.619 --> 00:20:13.819
 it?

00:20:14.599 --> 00:20:15.279
 Why did

00:20:15.279 --> 00:20:15.619
 he just

00:20:15.619 --> 00:20:16.399
 take the

00:20:16.399 --> 00:20:17.039
 handcuffs?

00:20:18.359 --> 00:20:18.779
 Well, he

00:20:18.779 --> 00:20:19.339
 took them

00:20:19.339 --> 00:20:20.759
 so that

00:20:20.759 --> 00:20:21.059
 we would

00:20:21.059 --> 00:20:21.700
 never have

00:20:21.700 --> 00:20:22.079
 to work

00:20:22.079 --> 00:20:22.279
 them.

00:20:23.279 --> 00:20:24.660
 in this

00:20:24.660 --> 00:20:25.099
 scene, we

00:20:25.099 --> 00:20:25.420
 should be

00:20:25.420 --> 00:20:25.960
 crying out,

00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:26.379
 hold on,

00:20:26.480 --> 00:20:26.940
 I'm the

00:20:26.940 --> 00:20:27.299
 criminal.

00:20:27.980 --> 00:20:28.700
 I'm the

00:20:28.700 --> 00:20:29.019
 robber.

00:20:29.079 --> 00:20:29.279
 What's

00:20:29.279 --> 00:20:29.740
 going on

00:20:29.740 --> 00:20:30.039
 here?

00:20:31.420 --> 00:20:31.899
 And Jesus

00:20:31.899 --> 00:20:33.599
 says, yes,

00:20:33.700 --> 00:20:34.200
 you were,

00:20:34.920 --> 00:20:36.099
 but not

00:20:36.099 --> 00:20:36.720
 anymore.

00:20:38.319 --> 00:20:38.960
 Jesus was

00:20:38.960 --> 00:20:39.799
 numbered with

00:20:39.799 --> 00:20:40.759
 the transgressors

00:20:40.759 --> 00:20:42.220
 so that on

00:20:42.220 --> 00:20:42.940
 judgment day,

00:20:43.480 --> 00:20:43.899
 when God

00:20:43.899 --> 00:20:44.759
 looks at those

00:20:44.759 --> 00:20:45.599
 people defined

00:20:45.599 --> 00:20:46.259
 by their sin,

00:20:46.359 --> 00:20:46.859
 people like

00:20:46.859 --> 00:20:47.859
 Judas, the

00:20:47.859 --> 00:20:48.740
 transgressors,

00:20:49.200 --> 00:20:50.059
 the unrepentant

00:20:50.059 --> 00:20:50.399
 sinners,

00:20:50.400 --> 00:20:51.540
 when he

00:20:51.540 --> 00:20:51.940
 looks at

00:20:51.940 --> 00:20:52.200
 them to

00:20:52.200 --> 00:20:52.800
 put judgment

00:20:52.800 --> 00:20:53.440
 on them,

00:20:54.660 --> 00:20:55.440
 he did

00:20:55.440 --> 00:20:56.060
 this so

00:20:56.060 --> 00:20:56.420
 that you

00:20:56.420 --> 00:20:56.820
 won't be

00:20:56.820 --> 00:20:58.200
 there, so

00:20:58.200 --> 00:20:58.620
 that you

00:20:58.620 --> 00:20:59.220
 won't be a

00:20:59.220 --> 00:20:59.640
 part of

00:20:59.640 --> 00:20:59.840
 those

00:20:59.840 --> 00:21:00.680
 transgressors.

00:21:01.360 --> 00:21:01.759
 You

00:21:01.759 --> 00:21:02.220
 won't be

00:21:02.220 --> 00:21:02.800
 numbered with

00:21:02.800 --> 00:21:03.660
 the transgressors

00:21:03.660 --> 00:21:04.700
 because Jesus

00:21:04.700 --> 00:21:05.860
 was right

00:21:05.860 --> 00:21:06.220
 here.

00:21:08.720 --> 00:21:09.440
 On the

00:21:09.440 --> 00:21:10.860
 cross, God

00:21:10.860 --> 00:21:11.740
 declared on

00:21:11.740 --> 00:21:12.620
 Jesus in

00:21:12.620 --> 00:21:13.360
 his wrath,

00:21:13.980 --> 00:21:14.519
 criminal,

00:21:15.460 --> 00:21:16.680
 so that he

00:21:16.680 --> 00:21:17.200
 could say to

00:21:17.200 --> 00:21:17.779
 us today,

00:21:18.799 --> 00:21:19.140
 innocent.

00:21:21.960 --> 00:21:22.759
 Jesus was

00:21:22.759 --> 00:21:23.259
 truly

00:21:23.259 --> 00:21:23.840
 numbered with

00:21:23.840 --> 00:21:24.660
 the transgressors.

00:21:25.200 --> 00:21:25.480
 He was

00:21:25.480 --> 00:21:26.519
 treated as

00:21:26.519 --> 00:21:27.039
 a criminal.

00:21:29.160 --> 00:21:29.759
 But there's

00:21:29.759 --> 00:21:30.380
 a final thing

00:21:30.380 --> 00:21:30.900
 to see about

00:21:30.900 --> 00:21:31.360
 this fateful

00:21:31.360 --> 00:21:32.319
 evening, and

00:21:32.319 --> 00:21:32.660
 it's this,

00:21:32.759 --> 00:21:33.680
 Jesus was

00:21:33.680 --> 00:21:34.140
 abandoned.

00:21:35.259 --> 00:21:35.880
 Jesus was

00:21:35.880 --> 00:21:36.319
 abandoned.

00:21:38.059 --> 00:21:39.100
 So first,

00:21:39.220 --> 00:21:39.420
 he was

00:21:39.420 --> 00:21:40.120
 betrayed by

00:21:40.120 --> 00:21:40.740
 his friend,

00:21:41.620 --> 00:21:42.140
 then his

00:21:42.140 --> 00:21:42.720
 name was

00:21:42.720 --> 00:21:43.400
 smeared and

00:21:43.400 --> 00:21:43.860
 was labeled

00:21:43.860 --> 00:21:44.440
 as a criminal,

00:21:44.580 --> 00:21:45.039
 and to top

00:21:45.039 --> 00:21:45.480
 it all off,

00:21:45.539 --> 00:21:45.940
 look at verse

00:21:45.940 --> 00:21:46.420
 50.

00:21:47.200 --> 00:21:48.160
 And they

00:21:48.160 --> 00:21:48.660
 all left

00:21:48.660 --> 00:21:49.519
 him and

00:21:49.519 --> 00:21:50.120
 fled.

00:21:51.400 --> 00:21:52.120
 They all

00:21:52.120 --> 00:21:52.779
 left him

00:21:52.779 --> 00:21:53.360
 and fled.

00:21:55.100 --> 00:21:55.580
 Can you

00:21:55.580 --> 00:21:56.319
 believe that?

00:21:57.259 --> 00:21:57.920
 All of

00:21:57.920 --> 00:21:58.600
 his friends,

00:21:58.720 --> 00:21:59.460
 his disciples,

00:22:00.120 --> 00:22:00.680
 they just

00:22:00.680 --> 00:22:01.200
 abandoned

00:22:01.200 --> 00:22:01.559
 him.

00:22:03.360 --> 00:22:04.120
 The first

00:22:04.120 --> 00:22:04.640
 whiff of

00:22:04.640 --> 00:22:05.140
 danger,

00:22:05.380 --> 00:22:05.700
 they just

00:22:05.700 --> 00:22:06.259
 packed up

00:22:06.259 --> 00:22:06.779
 and turned

00:22:06.779 --> 00:22:07.180
 their backs

00:22:07.180 --> 00:22:07.640
 on Jesus.

00:22:09.220 --> 00:22:09.860
 He was

00:22:09.860 --> 00:22:10.460
 arrested,

00:22:10.860 --> 00:22:11.180
 barred,

00:22:11.279 --> 00:22:11.559
 and led

00:22:11.559 --> 00:22:11.960
 away to

00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:12.539
 the cross,

00:22:13.120 --> 00:22:13.779
 all alone.

00:22:14.880 --> 00:22:15.539
 He was

00:22:15.539 --> 00:22:16.100
 all alone.

00:22:16.360 --> 00:22:17.059
 No comfort,

00:22:17.200 --> 00:22:18.559
 no support,

00:22:18.660 --> 00:22:19.259
 no love.

00:22:20.620 --> 00:22:20.980
 Instead,

00:22:21.120 --> 00:22:21.519
 a taste of

00:22:21.519 --> 00:22:22.319
 betrayal and

00:22:22.319 --> 00:22:23.100
 abandonment in

00:22:23.100 --> 00:22:23.900
 his mouth.

00:22:26.799 --> 00:22:27.100
 And then

00:22:27.100 --> 00:22:27.559
 after that,

00:22:27.900 --> 00:22:29.039
 we hear a bit

00:22:29.039 --> 00:22:29.580
 of an unusual

00:22:29.580 --> 00:22:30.620
 account of one

00:22:30.620 --> 00:22:31.180
 of his followers

00:22:31.180 --> 00:22:31.779
 running away.

00:22:32.000 --> 00:22:32.660
 Did you notice

00:22:32.660 --> 00:22:33.039
 that in verse

00:22:33.039 --> 00:22:33.440
 51?

00:22:34.440 --> 00:22:35.100
 And a young

00:22:35.100 --> 00:22:35.660
 man followed

00:22:35.660 --> 00:22:36.759
 him with

00:22:36.759 --> 00:22:37.400
 nothing but a

00:22:37.400 --> 00:22:37.880
 linen cloth

00:22:37.880 --> 00:22:38.340
 about his

00:22:38.340 --> 00:22:38.660
 body,

00:22:39.000 --> 00:22:39.640
 and they

00:22:39.640 --> 00:22:40.240
 seized him,

00:22:40.920 --> 00:22:41.240
 but he

00:22:41.240 --> 00:22:41.620
 left the

00:22:41.620 --> 00:22:42.220
 linen cloth

00:22:42.220 --> 00:22:42.660
 and ran

00:22:42.660 --> 00:22:43.279
 away naked.

00:22:43.279 --> 00:22:45.259
 And it

00:22:45.259 --> 00:22:45.579
 sounds a bit

00:22:45.579 --> 00:22:45.859
 funny,

00:22:46.079 --> 00:22:46.539
 this ending,

00:22:46.660 --> 00:22:47.000
 doesn't it?

00:22:47.700 --> 00:22:48.180
 It's a bit

00:22:48.180 --> 00:22:48.599
 of a weird

00:22:48.599 --> 00:22:49.019
 add-on.

00:22:50.000 --> 00:22:50.700
 Some people

00:22:50.700 --> 00:22:51.019
 over the

00:22:51.019 --> 00:22:51.500
 centuries have

00:22:51.500 --> 00:22:51.960
 thought that

00:22:51.960 --> 00:22:52.720
 this young

00:22:52.720 --> 00:22:53.920
 man here is

00:22:53.920 --> 00:22:54.759
 Mark, the

00:22:54.759 --> 00:22:55.960
 writer of this

00:22:55.960 --> 00:22:56.240
 gospel.

00:22:57.000 --> 00:22:57.759
 But we don't

00:22:57.759 --> 00:22:58.059
 know that,

00:22:58.099 --> 00:22:58.420
 we can't really

00:22:58.420 --> 00:22:58.920
 say that,

00:22:59.180 --> 00:22:59.759
 it's just a

00:22:59.759 --> 00:23:00.079
 guess,

00:23:00.559 --> 00:23:01.359
 and so I

00:23:01.359 --> 00:23:01.720
 don't put too

00:23:01.720 --> 00:23:02.180
 much confidence

00:23:02.180 --> 00:23:02.559
 in that.

00:23:02.559 --> 00:23:04.000
 But I

00:23:04.000 --> 00:23:04.319
 think the

00:23:04.319 --> 00:23:04.720
 point of

00:23:04.720 --> 00:23:05.359
 this character

00:23:05.359 --> 00:23:07.019
 here is to

00:23:07.019 --> 00:23:07.579
 show how

00:23:07.579 --> 00:23:08.579
 shameful it

00:23:08.579 --> 00:23:08.919
 was to

00:23:08.919 --> 00:23:09.259
 abandon

00:23:09.259 --> 00:23:09.700
 Jesus.

00:23:10.799 --> 00:23:11.460
 It says

00:23:11.460 --> 00:23:11.819
 they all

00:23:11.819 --> 00:23:12.440
 left him,

00:23:13.039 --> 00:23:13.519
 and then we

00:23:13.519 --> 00:23:14.759
 zoom in on

00:23:14.759 --> 00:23:15.599
 this one

00:23:15.599 --> 00:23:17.139
 person, a

00:23:17.139 --> 00:23:17.720
 young man

00:23:17.720 --> 00:23:18.299
 who followed

00:23:18.299 --> 00:23:18.720
 Jesus.

00:23:19.779 --> 00:23:20.179
 And he was

00:23:20.179 --> 00:23:20.579
 one of his

00:23:20.579 --> 00:23:22.720
 followers who

00:23:22.720 --> 00:23:23.419
 walked miles

00:23:23.419 --> 00:23:23.899
 with him,

00:23:24.200 --> 00:23:24.599
 it says he

00:23:24.599 --> 00:23:25.319
 followed him.

00:23:26.799 --> 00:23:27.240
 But as

00:23:27.240 --> 00:23:27.859
 soon as the

00:23:27.859 --> 00:23:28.419
 authorities

00:23:28.419 --> 00:23:28.940
 tried to

00:23:28.940 --> 00:23:29.419
 seize this

00:23:29.419 --> 00:23:29.779
 man,

00:23:30.200 --> 00:23:30.579
 perhaps they

00:23:30.579 --> 00:23:30.960
 kind of

00:23:30.960 --> 00:23:31.460
 grabbed his

00:23:31.460 --> 00:23:32.079
 clothing to

00:23:32.079 --> 00:23:32.539
 arrest him

00:23:32.539 --> 00:23:34.039
 to, this

00:23:34.039 --> 00:23:34.359
 young man

00:23:34.359 --> 00:23:34.940
 pulled away

00:23:34.940 --> 00:23:35.779
 lightly, and

00:23:35.779 --> 00:23:36.720
 his clothing

00:23:36.720 --> 00:23:37.460
 came off

00:23:37.460 --> 00:23:38.379
 with them,

00:23:39.180 --> 00:23:40.079
 and then he

00:23:40.079 --> 00:23:40.920
 became naked

00:23:40.920 --> 00:23:41.859
 and ran

00:23:41.859 --> 00:23:42.200
 away.

00:23:43.779 --> 00:23:44.279
 I think

00:23:44.279 --> 00:23:44.759
 we're told

00:23:44.759 --> 00:23:46.759
 this because

00:23:46.759 --> 00:23:47.960
 it's a shameful

00:23:47.960 --> 00:23:48.519
 thing to

00:23:48.519 --> 00:23:49.299
 abandon Jesus.

00:23:50.639 --> 00:23:51.079
 He was

00:23:51.079 --> 00:23:51.680
 abandoning

00:23:51.680 --> 00:23:52.480
 Jesus naked

00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:53.500
 and exposed

00:23:53.500 --> 00:23:54.519
 and shameful.

00:23:55.779 --> 00:23:56.799
 His nakedness

00:23:56.799 --> 00:23:58.059
 here is

00:23:58.059 --> 00:23:58.599
 showing a

00:23:58.599 --> 00:23:59.079
 shame in the

00:23:59.079 --> 00:23:59.460
 action.

00:24:01.680 --> 00:24:02.159
 All while

00:24:02.160 --> 00:24:03.000
 Jesus remains

00:24:03.000 --> 00:24:04.460
 bound and

00:24:04.460 --> 00:24:04.960
 made out to

00:24:04.960 --> 00:24:05.560
 be a criminal.

00:24:07.660 --> 00:24:08.300
 Yet Jesus,

00:24:08.800 --> 00:24:09.700
 he remains

00:24:09.700 --> 00:24:10.900
 there dignified

00:24:10.900 --> 00:24:12.440
 and heroic,

00:24:12.740 --> 00:24:13.240
 doesn't he?

00:24:14.060 --> 00:24:14.960
 As this man

00:24:14.960 --> 00:24:15.880
 shamefully runs

00:24:15.880 --> 00:24:16.540
 away from him.

00:24:17.720 --> 00:24:18.560
 This unusual

00:24:18.560 --> 00:24:19.160
 moment, this

00:24:19.160 --> 00:24:19.779
 unusual ending,

00:24:20.300 --> 00:24:21.100
 is highlighting

00:24:21.100 --> 00:24:22.940
 that sinners

00:24:22.940 --> 00:24:24.220
 shamefully fled

00:24:24.220 --> 00:24:25.000
 from the cross

00:24:25.000 --> 00:24:26.700
 while Jesus

00:24:26.700 --> 00:24:27.360
 heads straight

00:24:27.360 --> 00:24:27.900
 to it,

00:24:28.560 --> 00:24:29.460
 all on his

00:24:29.460 --> 00:24:29.740
 own.

00:24:29.740 --> 00:24:31.240
 only he

00:24:31.240 --> 00:24:32.019
 can do it,

00:24:32.620 --> 00:24:33.000
 and he

00:24:33.000 --> 00:24:33.400
 did it

00:24:33.400 --> 00:24:33.839
 alone.

00:24:35.940 --> 00:24:36.799
 It was not

00:24:36.799 --> 00:24:37.839
 an easy road

00:24:37.839 --> 00:24:38.519
 to the cross

00:24:38.519 --> 00:24:39.200
 for Jesus.

00:24:39.960 --> 00:24:40.200
 We have

00:24:40.200 --> 00:24:40.680
 thought about

00:24:40.680 --> 00:24:40.960
 that.

00:24:42.480 --> 00:24:43.160
 He was

00:24:43.160 --> 00:24:43.740
 betrayed,

00:24:44.059 --> 00:24:44.779
 despised,

00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:45.460
 mobbed,

00:24:45.680 --> 00:24:46.440
 misrepresented,

00:24:46.940 --> 00:24:47.400
 abandoned.

00:24:48.880 --> 00:24:49.400
 He wasn't

00:24:49.400 --> 00:24:50.359
 cheered on

00:24:50.359 --> 00:24:50.859
 his way to

00:24:50.859 --> 00:24:51.339
 Calvary.

00:24:52.220 --> 00:24:52.660
 He didn't

00:24:52.660 --> 00:24:53.319
 have friends

00:24:53.319 --> 00:24:53.900
 to comfort

00:24:53.900 --> 00:24:54.420
 him on the

00:24:54.420 --> 00:24:54.900
 way there.

00:24:55.200 --> 00:24:55.579
 He wasn't

00:24:55.579 --> 00:24:56.319
 surrounded by

00:24:56.319 --> 00:24:56.900
 people to

00:24:56.900 --> 00:24:57.559
 support him

00:24:57.559 --> 00:24:58.019
 and encourage

00:24:58.019 --> 00:24:58.380
 him and say,

00:24:58.380 --> 00:24:59.560
 keep on going,

00:24:59.760 --> 00:25:00.240
 come on,

00:25:00.360 --> 00:25:00.820
 you can do

00:25:00.820 --> 00:25:01.200
 it.

00:25:02.620 --> 00:25:03.280
 The road

00:25:03.280 --> 00:25:04.020
 was horrible

00:25:04.020 --> 00:25:04.560
 for Jesus.

00:25:07.140 --> 00:25:07.720
 There's a

00:25:07.720 --> 00:25:08.120
 question to

00:25:08.120 --> 00:25:08.440
 ask.

00:25:09.060 --> 00:25:09.800
 Why did it

00:25:09.800 --> 00:25:10.300
 have to be

00:25:10.300 --> 00:25:10.920
 so horrible?

00:25:11.920 --> 00:25:12.340
 Could not

00:25:12.340 --> 00:25:13.500
 Jesus have

00:25:13.500 --> 00:25:14.140
 come and

00:25:14.140 --> 00:25:14.840
 died quickly?

00:25:15.900 --> 00:25:16.440
 To put it

00:25:16.440 --> 00:25:16.980
 bluntly,

00:25:17.340 --> 00:25:17.880
 could Jesus

00:25:17.880 --> 00:25:18.320
 not have

00:25:18.320 --> 00:25:18.880
 come,

00:25:19.060 --> 00:25:19.720
 got shot,

00:25:20.000 --> 00:25:20.400
 died,

00:25:20.620 --> 00:25:21.100
 and boom,

00:25:21.220 --> 00:25:21.380
 done?

00:25:22.460 --> 00:25:23.200
 Why did

00:25:23.200 --> 00:25:23.780
 he have to

00:25:23.780 --> 00:25:24.500
 go through

00:25:24.500 --> 00:25:26.320
 such anguish

00:25:26.320 --> 00:25:26.880
 before the

00:25:26.880 --> 00:25:27.260
 cross?

00:25:28.380 --> 00:25:30.160
 this suffering

00:25:30.160 --> 00:25:31.660
 is not

00:25:31.660 --> 00:25:32.520
 just coincidental,

00:25:32.860 --> 00:25:33.340
 this suffering

00:25:33.340 --> 00:25:34.080
 is important

00:25:34.080 --> 00:25:35.040
 and necessary

00:25:35.040 --> 00:25:37.260
 because Jesus

00:25:37.260 --> 00:25:37.960
 had to be

00:25:37.960 --> 00:25:39.040
 plunged into

00:25:39.040 --> 00:25:40.380
 sin and

00:25:40.380 --> 00:25:41.240
 anguish,

00:25:41.880 --> 00:25:42.940
 into the

00:25:42.940 --> 00:25:43.440
 very depths

00:25:43.440 --> 00:25:43.900
 of it,

00:25:44.540 --> 00:25:45.180
 so that he

00:25:45.180 --> 00:25:45.900
 could save

00:25:45.900 --> 00:25:46.840
 us from the

00:25:46.840 --> 00:25:47.540
 depths of

00:25:47.540 --> 00:25:48.300
 sin and

00:25:48.300 --> 00:25:48.900
 anguish.

00:25:49.740 --> 00:25:50.740
 He had to

00:25:50.740 --> 00:25:51.580
 plumb the

00:25:51.580 --> 00:25:52.100
 depths of

00:25:52.100 --> 00:25:52.980
 our sin

00:25:52.980 --> 00:25:54.240
 to save

00:25:54.240 --> 00:25:54.640
 us from

00:25:54.640 --> 00:25:54.920
 it.

00:25:54.920 --> 00:25:56.019
 He had

00:25:56.019 --> 00:25:56.380
 to become

00:25:56.380 --> 00:25:57.080
 the lowest

00:25:57.080 --> 00:25:57.539
 of the

00:25:57.539 --> 00:25:58.240
 low and

00:25:58.240 --> 00:25:58.840
 experience

00:25:58.840 --> 00:25:59.500
 the worst

00:25:59.500 --> 00:25:59.800
 of the

00:25:59.800 --> 00:26:01.120
 worst to

00:26:01.120 --> 00:26:02.740
 save the

00:26:02.740 --> 00:26:03.200
 lowest of

00:26:03.200 --> 00:26:03.600
 the low

00:26:03.600 --> 00:26:04.660
 and the

00:26:04.660 --> 00:26:05.060
 worst of

00:26:05.060 --> 00:26:05.560
 the worst.

00:26:07.740 --> 00:26:08.360
 A few

00:26:08.360 --> 00:26:08.920
 years ago,

00:26:09.240 --> 00:26:09.539
 I was

00:26:09.539 --> 00:26:10.039
 helping someone

00:26:10.039 --> 00:26:10.480
 clear out

00:26:10.480 --> 00:26:11.019
 their pond.

00:26:12.080 --> 00:26:12.820
 Don't ask me

00:26:12.820 --> 00:26:13.120
 how I got

00:26:13.120 --> 00:26:13.519
 ripped into

00:26:13.519 --> 00:26:13.720
 that,

00:26:13.820 --> 00:26:15.539
 but we

00:26:15.539 --> 00:26:15.840
 were clearing

00:26:15.840 --> 00:26:16.300
 their pond

00:26:16.300 --> 00:26:17.140
 and we

00:26:17.140 --> 00:26:17.480
 had to

00:26:17.480 --> 00:26:17.940
 clear out

00:26:17.940 --> 00:26:18.340
 all the

00:26:18.340 --> 00:26:18.740
 bottom

00:26:18.740 --> 00:26:19.700
 filled with

00:26:19.700 --> 00:26:20.640
 dirt and

00:26:20.640 --> 00:26:21.140
 geese

00:26:21.140 --> 00:26:22.259
 poo and

00:26:22.259 --> 00:26:23.259
 bacteria and

00:26:23.259 --> 00:26:24.319
 it absolutely

00:26:24.319 --> 00:26:25.039
 stank.

00:26:25.559 --> 00:26:26.119
 We had to

00:26:26.119 --> 00:26:26.500
 clear it

00:26:26.500 --> 00:26:27.319
 all out to

00:26:27.319 --> 00:26:28.019
 cleanse the

00:26:28.019 --> 00:26:28.240
 pool.

00:26:29.180 --> 00:26:29.440
 And to

00:26:29.440 --> 00:26:29.799
 clear it

00:26:29.799 --> 00:26:30.740
 out, I

00:26:30.740 --> 00:26:31.079
 had to

00:26:31.079 --> 00:26:31.779
 plunge my

00:26:31.779 --> 00:26:33.279
 hand to

00:26:33.279 --> 00:26:33.799
 the very

00:26:33.799 --> 00:26:34.339
 bottom of

00:26:34.339 --> 00:26:34.879
 the pond

00:26:34.879 --> 00:26:36.119
 and hit

00:26:36.119 --> 00:26:37.180
 the top

00:26:37.180 --> 00:26:38.680
 and drag

00:26:38.680 --> 00:26:39.460
 everything up

00:26:39.460 --> 00:26:40.279
 and then

00:26:40.279 --> 00:26:40.720
 clear it

00:26:40.720 --> 00:26:40.940
 out.

00:26:41.960 --> 00:26:42.640
 I had to

00:26:42.640 --> 00:26:43.059
 plunge my

00:26:43.059 --> 00:26:43.559
 hand all

00:26:43.559 --> 00:26:43.839
 the way

00:26:43.839 --> 00:26:44.379
 down into

00:26:44.379 --> 00:26:45.119
 that, so

00:26:45.119 --> 00:26:45.480
 I couldn't

00:26:45.480 --> 00:26:46.339
 just briefly

00:26:46.339 --> 00:26:47.279
 skim the

00:26:47.279 --> 00:26:48.500
 surface and

00:26:48.500 --> 00:26:48.839
 be like,

00:26:48.920 --> 00:26:49.460
 okay, done,

00:26:49.740 --> 00:26:50.500
 it's clean

00:26:50.500 --> 00:26:50.819
 now.

00:26:51.240 --> 00:26:52.019
 The muck

00:26:52.019 --> 00:26:52.680
 would still be

00:26:52.680 --> 00:26:52.879
 there,

00:26:52.960 --> 00:26:53.220
 wouldn't it?

00:26:54.240 --> 00:26:54.740
 No, I

00:26:54.740 --> 00:26:54.980
 had to

00:26:54.980 --> 00:26:55.200
 get to

00:26:55.200 --> 00:26:55.759
 the lowest

00:26:55.759 --> 00:26:56.400
 point and

00:26:56.400 --> 00:26:57.039
 clear out

00:26:57.039 --> 00:26:57.799
 everything from

00:26:57.799 --> 00:26:58.099
 there.

00:26:59.480 --> 00:26:59.960
 Well, that

00:26:59.960 --> 00:27:00.240
 is what

00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:00.700
 Jesus is

00:27:00.700 --> 00:27:01.299
 doing here.

00:27:02.140 --> 00:27:02.460
 He's

00:27:02.460 --> 00:27:03.420
 plunging down

00:27:03.420 --> 00:27:03.720
 into the

00:27:03.720 --> 00:27:04.200
 very depths

00:27:04.200 --> 00:27:05.000
 of sin

00:27:05.000 --> 00:27:06.259
 and misery

00:27:06.259 --> 00:27:07.220
 and suffering

00:27:07.220 --> 00:27:07.640
 to the

00:27:07.640 --> 00:27:08.140
 lowest of

00:27:08.140 --> 00:27:08.539
 lows.

00:27:09.599 --> 00:27:09.839
 His

00:27:09.839 --> 00:27:10.400
 betrayal

00:27:10.400 --> 00:27:11.119
 is him

00:27:11.119 --> 00:27:11.920
 being thrown

00:27:11.920 --> 00:27:12.460
 into the

00:27:12.460 --> 00:27:12.779
 mud.

00:27:13.379 --> 00:27:14.079
 His arrest

00:27:14.079 --> 00:27:14.839
 is him

00:27:14.839 --> 00:27:15.460
 being driven

00:27:15.460 --> 00:27:16.720
 further down

00:27:16.720 --> 00:27:17.039
 to the

00:27:17.039 --> 00:27:17.299
 bottom.

00:27:17.559 --> 00:27:17.700
 His

00:27:17.700 --> 00:27:18.579
 abandonment

00:27:18.579 --> 00:27:18.960
 is him

00:27:18.960 --> 00:27:19.779
 being plunged

00:27:19.779 --> 00:27:20.400
 into new

00:27:20.400 --> 00:27:20.900
 lows.

00:27:20.900 --> 00:27:23.220
 all so

00:27:23.220 --> 00:27:23.480
 that he

00:27:23.480 --> 00:27:24.080
 can drag

00:27:24.080 --> 00:27:24.580
 us out

00:27:24.580 --> 00:27:24.840
 of the

00:27:24.840 --> 00:27:25.240
 depths

00:27:25.240 --> 00:27:26.480
 and bring

00:27:26.480 --> 00:27:26.800
 us into

00:27:26.800 --> 00:27:27.480
 fresh air

00:27:27.480 --> 00:27:27.920
 and raise

00:27:27.920 --> 00:27:28.220
 us to

00:27:28.220 --> 00:27:28.720
 new life.

00:27:31.000 --> 00:27:31.440
 This

00:27:31.440 --> 00:27:32.180
 wasn't easy

00:27:32.180 --> 00:27:32.660
 for Jesus.

00:27:33.800 --> 00:27:34.420
 The road

00:27:34.420 --> 00:27:34.700
 to the

00:27:34.700 --> 00:27:35.140
 cross was

00:27:35.140 --> 00:27:35.660
 not easy,

00:27:35.800 --> 00:27:36.060
 it was

00:27:36.060 --> 00:27:36.600
 horrible.

00:27:38.000 --> 00:27:38.440
 But brothers

00:27:38.440 --> 00:27:38.920
 and sisters,

00:27:39.039 --> 00:27:39.460
 he did

00:27:39.460 --> 00:27:39.820
 it for

00:27:39.820 --> 00:27:40.100
 you.

00:27:41.140 --> 00:27:41.519
 He was

00:27:41.519 --> 00:27:42.100
 forsaken

00:27:42.100 --> 00:27:43.180
 so we

00:27:43.180 --> 00:27:43.480
 would be

00:27:43.480 --> 00:27:43.860
 loved.

00:27:44.880 --> 00:27:45.120
 He was

00:27:45.120 --> 00:27:45.519
 called a

00:27:45.519 --> 00:27:45.980
 criminal

00:27:45.980 --> 00:27:47.000
 so that we

00:27:47.000 --> 00:27:47.279
 could go

00:27:47.279 --> 00:27:47.700
 free.

00:27:49.059 --> 00:27:49.340
 He was

00:27:49.340 --> 00:27:49.820
 abandoned

00:27:49.820 --> 00:27:51.660
 so that he

00:27:51.660 --> 00:27:52.000
 would never

00:27:52.000 --> 00:27:52.480
 leave us.

00:27:54.059 --> 00:27:54.799
 Let me pray.

00:27:55.240 --> 00:27:56.919
 He was

00:27:56.919 --> 00:27:56.919


00:27:56.919 --> 00:27:56.919


00:27:56.919 --> 00:27:56.919


00:27:56.919 --> 00:27:56.919


00:27:56.919 --> 00:27:56.919


00:27:56.919 --> 00:27:56.919


00:27:56.919 --> 00:27:56.919


00:27:56.919 --> 00:27:56.919


00:27:56.919 --> 00:27:56.919


00:27:56.919 --> 00:27:56.919


00:27:56.919 --> 00:27:56.919


00:27:56.919 --> 00:27:56.919


00:27:56.919 --> 00:27:56.919


00:27:56.919 --> 00:27:56.919


00:27:56.919 --> 00:27:56.919


00:27:56.919 --> 00:27:56.919


00:27:56.919 --> 00:27:56.919


00:27:56.919 --> 00:27:56.919


00:27:56.919 --> 00:27:56.919


00:27:56.919 --> 00:27:56.919


00:27:56.919 --> 00:27:56.919


00:27:56.919 --> 00:27:56.919


00:27:56.919 --> 00:27:56.919


00:27:56.919 --> 00:27:56.919


00:27:56.919 --> 00:27:56.919


00:27:56.919 --> 00:27:56.919


00:27:56.919 --> 00:27:56.919


00:27:56.919 --> 00:27:56.919


00:27:56.919 --> 00:27:56.919


00:27:56.919 --> 00:27:56.919


00:27:56.919 --> 00:27:56.919


00:27:56.919 --> 00:27:56.919


00:27:56.919 --> 00:27:56.919


00:27:56.919 --> 00:27:56.919


00:27:56.919 --> 00:27:56.919


00:27:56.919 --> 00:27:56.919


00:27:56.919 --> 00:27:56.919


00:27:56.919 --> 00:27:56.919


00:27:56.919 --> 00:27:56.919


00:27:56.919 --> 00:27:56.919


00:27:56.919 --> 00:27:56.919


00:27:56.919 --> 00:27:56.919


00:27:56.919 --> 00:27:56.919


00:27:56.919 --> 00:27:56.919


00:27:56.919 --> 00:27:56.919


00:27:56.919 --> 00:27:56.919


00:27:56.919 --> 00:27:56.919


00:27:56.919 --> 00:27:56.919


00:27:56.919 --> 00:27:56.919


00:27:56.919 --> 00:27:56.919


00:27:56.919 --> 00:27:56.919


00:27:56.919 --> 00:27:56.919


00:27:56.919 --> 00:27:56.919
