WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.379
 So this week has many contrasts, doesn't it?

00:00:03.940 --> 00:00:07.120
 We begin with the triumph of our Palm Sunday

00:00:07.120 --> 00:00:07.120


00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:33.600
 and what many people were hoping for

00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:37.259
 and the contrast is what was on the mind of the Lord Jesus.

00:00:38.579 --> 00:00:40.880
 And what we can see clearly from the text

00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:44.480
 is that regardless of what was on everybody else's mind

00:00:44.480 --> 00:00:48.640
 of hosannas and proclamations and kingdoms coming

00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:50.719
 Jesus had one thing on his mind

00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:56.320
 and that one thing was to get to the excruciating experience of Calvary

00:00:56.320 --> 00:01:00.000
 and there to lay down his life that he may win for us

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:01.820
 our eternal salvation.

00:01:02.820 --> 00:01:04.420
 And it's difficult for us to understand

00:01:04.420 --> 00:01:08.340
 as it seemed to be difficult for the people of Jesus' day to understand

00:01:08.340 --> 00:01:10.099
 how those two things could be together

00:01:10.099 --> 00:01:13.319
 how it is that the crowds could be in one direction

00:01:13.319 --> 00:01:16.980
 so zealously on Jesus Christ in another direction.

00:01:16.980 --> 00:01:18.680
 Now let me try and introduce to you

00:01:18.680 --> 00:01:20.659
 some of the themes of John's Gospels.

00:01:20.740 --> 00:01:23.039
 I read through John's Gospel and this week in preparation.

00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:25.599
 It's a really good thing to do at any time

00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:26.759
 but a really good thing to do this week

00:01:26.759 --> 00:01:27.899
 I'd encourage you to do that.

00:01:28.539 --> 00:01:32.000
 When Jesus is approached by his mother in chapter 2

00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:35.239
 they're at a wedding and they're running out of wine

00:01:35.239 --> 00:01:38.280
 and Mary says to the servants

00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:39.919
 listen, go and speak to Jesus

00:01:39.919 --> 00:01:41.199
 he can sort it out

00:01:41.199 --> 00:01:44.159
 he says to her, what do you have to do with me?

00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:47.959
 My hour has not yet come.

00:01:49.179 --> 00:01:51.739
 So there's an hour that Jesus is waiting for

00:01:51.739 --> 00:01:54.059
 and now in John chapter 12

00:01:54.059 --> 00:01:55.959
 we come to the point where Jesus says

00:01:55.959 --> 00:01:57.299
 this is the hour

00:01:57.299 --> 00:02:00.000
 the hour for which he was waiting for

00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:01.500
 at the end of John chapter 2

00:02:01.500 --> 00:02:03.479
 when he turned water into wine.

00:02:04.579 --> 00:02:05.699
 In chapter 2 John says

00:02:05.699 --> 00:02:07.759
 that many people believed in him

00:02:07.759 --> 00:02:08.900
 or you could translate it

00:02:08.900 --> 00:02:10.519
 they trusted in him

00:02:10.519 --> 00:02:14.959
 or they believed in him

00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:18.340
 and John recalls that Jesus responded in this way

00:02:18.340 --> 00:02:20.820
 it says that Jesus did not entrust himself

00:02:20.820 --> 00:02:22.320
 into their hands

00:02:22.320 --> 00:02:25.360
 because he did not need a human testimony

00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:27.040
 he did not need someone to tell him

00:02:27.040 --> 00:02:28.180
 about the human heart

00:02:28.180 --> 00:02:29.700
 he knows what is inside of a man

00:02:29.700 --> 00:02:32.680
 Jesus knows what is inside of your heart

00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:34.200
 and my heart

00:02:34.200 --> 00:02:36.540
 and Jesus knows

00:02:36.540 --> 00:02:39.580
 what is in the heart of those palm wavers

00:02:39.580 --> 00:02:42.000
 and he knows that there is something more

00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:43.600
 than an inauguration ceremony

00:02:43.600 --> 00:02:45.440
 that is needed for you and I to be healed.

00:02:46.100 --> 00:02:47.640
 So Jesus comes to Jerusalem

00:02:47.640 --> 00:02:48.500
 in his face

00:02:48.500 --> 00:02:50.200
 sat towards the cross

00:02:50.200 --> 00:02:52.980
 while everybody else has got a different agenda.

00:02:54.920 --> 00:02:56.380
 Now I'd like to look at the text in three ways

00:02:56.380 --> 00:02:58.160
 firstly, this is 17 to 22

00:02:58.160 --> 00:02:59.439
 I'd like us to see

00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:00.360
 there are many things

00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:01.980
 that would distract Jesus from the cross.

00:03:03.200 --> 00:03:05.260
 Then in 23 to 33

00:03:05.259 --> 00:03:07.879
 we will see that nothing

00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:09.919
 distracts Jesus from the cross.

00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:12.799
 And then in verses 34 to 36

00:03:12.799 --> 00:03:14.099
 we will see that nothing

00:03:14.099 --> 00:03:16.739
 must deter and distract you from the cross.

00:03:17.739 --> 00:03:18.539
 So first of all

00:03:18.539 --> 00:03:19.299
 there are many things

00:03:19.299 --> 00:03:20.159
 that would distract us

00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:22.039
 distract Jesus from the cross.

00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:23.459
 Look at verses 17 to 22

00:03:23.459 --> 00:03:25.120
 I've put them in three categories

00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:26.519
 first of all

00:03:26.519 --> 00:03:28.239
 you have the enthusiastic crowd

00:03:28.239 --> 00:03:30.699
 you have the crowd

00:03:30.699 --> 00:03:33.799
 who are popularly

00:03:33.799 --> 00:03:34.359
 is that a word?

00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:35.180
 That isn't a word is it?

00:03:35.939 --> 00:03:36.500
 Popularly?

00:03:36.819 --> 00:03:37.120
 No.

00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:38.959
 Well they were promoting

00:03:38.959 --> 00:03:39.879
 Jesus as king

00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:40.399
 weren't they?

00:03:40.739 --> 00:03:41.199
 Zealously.

00:03:42.079 --> 00:03:43.319
 They were promoting Jesus

00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:44.479
 as the zealous king

00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:47.439
 as the messianic king

00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:48.799
 little children

00:03:48.799 --> 00:03:50.299
 laying down palm trees

00:03:50.299 --> 00:03:52.139
 adults taking off

00:03:52.139 --> 00:03:53.000
 their outer garments

00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:54.739
 and laying them before Jesus

00:03:54.739 --> 00:03:56.439
 so that it would be

00:03:56.439 --> 00:03:57.159
 a sacrificial

00:03:57.159 --> 00:03:58.620
 royal path

00:03:58.620 --> 00:03:59.560
 for Jesus to come

00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:00.680
 into the city of Jerusalem.

00:04:01.699 --> 00:04:02.379
 They were zealous

00:04:02.379 --> 00:04:03.259
 for his popularity

00:04:03.259 --> 00:04:04.379
 there were many

00:04:04.379 --> 00:04:05.759
 who wanted to make him king

00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:07.280
 we read that in John chapter 6

00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:07.759
 didn't we?

00:04:08.819 --> 00:04:09.639
 We're told that Jesus

00:04:09.639 --> 00:04:10.620
 there in chapter 6

00:04:10.620 --> 00:04:12.340
 had to escape the crowds

00:04:12.340 --> 00:04:13.699
 because right there

00:04:13.699 --> 00:04:14.400
 and right then

00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:15.780
 they wanted to proclaim him king

00:04:15.780 --> 00:04:17.579
 and John said

00:04:17.579 --> 00:04:20.319
 his hour had not yet come.

00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:23.480
 Your popularity

00:04:23.480 --> 00:04:26.439
 your desire for popularity

00:04:26.439 --> 00:04:27.600
 can be a great distraction

00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:29.259
 from the cross.

00:04:29.259 --> 00:04:31.399
 Secondly you'll notice

00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:32.279
 it's not just the crowds

00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:32.980
 it's the clergy

00:04:32.980 --> 00:04:33.920
 look at verse 19

00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:36.920
 if the crowd were frenzied

00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:37.819
 in their appreciation

00:04:37.819 --> 00:04:38.779
 of Jesus

00:04:38.779 --> 00:04:40.079
 then the clergy

00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:41.300
 are furious

00:04:41.300 --> 00:04:42.139
 and frustrated

00:04:42.139 --> 00:04:43.000
 look at what they say

00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:43.399
 to each other

00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:44.360
 in verse 19

00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:46.519
 you see that you are

00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:47.139
 gaining nothing

00:04:47.139 --> 00:04:48.319
 look the whole world

00:04:48.319 --> 00:04:49.120
 has gone after him

00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:49.819
 and of course

00:04:49.819 --> 00:04:50.319
 ultimately

00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:50.980
 the whole world

00:04:50.980 --> 00:04:52.019
 has gone after him

00:04:52.019 --> 00:04:54.519
 but here they are

00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:55.379
 they're complaining

00:04:55.379 --> 00:04:55.699
 aren't they?

00:04:55.740 --> 00:04:56.039
 They're saying

00:04:56.039 --> 00:04:56.920
 what is the use

00:04:56.920 --> 00:04:58.379
 of our good solid theology?

00:04:58.759 --> 00:04:59.379
 What is the use

00:04:59.379 --> 00:05:00.680
 of our religious office?

00:05:02.100 --> 00:05:02.819
 What is the use

00:05:02.819 --> 00:05:03.900
 of us being clergy

00:05:03.900 --> 00:05:05.340
 if no one is going

00:05:05.340 --> 00:05:05.879
 to follow us?

00:05:06.080 --> 00:05:07.140
 Just look at these people

00:05:07.140 --> 00:05:07.900
 look at them

00:05:07.900 --> 00:05:09.180
 unintelligently

00:05:09.180 --> 00:05:10.360
 irreligiously

00:05:10.360 --> 00:05:11.220
 following this

00:05:11.220 --> 00:05:12.560
 undrained rabbi

00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:14.220
 and they're frustrated

00:05:14.220 --> 00:05:15.920
 and they were

00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:16.800
 plot to kill him.

00:05:18.620 --> 00:05:19.319
 Here's a temptation

00:05:19.319 --> 00:05:20.060
 to be deterred

00:05:20.060 --> 00:05:20.819
 by the clergy.

00:05:22.139 --> 00:05:22.879
 Thirdly if you look

00:05:22.879 --> 00:05:23.560
 at verse 20

00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:25.720
 there is the distraction

00:05:25.720 --> 00:05:26.319
 of the curious

00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:27.139
 verse 20

00:05:27.139 --> 00:05:29.319
 with the crowds

00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:30.180
 the clergy

00:05:30.180 --> 00:05:31.680
 and the curious

00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:32.099
 well who are

00:05:32.099 --> 00:05:32.639
 these people?

00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:34.680
 Well they are

00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:35.399
 the very people

00:05:35.399 --> 00:05:36.219
 that Jesus said

00:05:36.219 --> 00:05:36.839
 the gospel was

00:05:36.839 --> 00:05:37.319
 to go to

00:05:37.319 --> 00:05:37.860
 the Greeks

00:05:37.860 --> 00:05:38.719
 the world

00:05:38.719 --> 00:05:39.019
 look at

00:05:39.019 --> 00:05:40.000
 he says in

00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:41.139
 John 10

00:05:41.139 --> 00:05:41.959
 verse 16

00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:42.759
 I have not just

00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:43.759
 come for the

00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:44.600
 lost sheep of Israel

00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:45.360
 but for the sheep

00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:46.159
 the lost sheep

00:05:46.159 --> 00:05:46.860
 of the whole world

00:05:46.860 --> 00:05:48.039
 he's bringing sheep

00:05:48.039 --> 00:05:49.079
 in from all the

00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:50.259
 folds of the world

00:05:50.259 --> 00:05:51.399
 and ultimately

00:05:51.399 --> 00:05:52.120
 we know that

00:05:52.120 --> 00:05:52.719
 the great commission

00:05:52.719 --> 00:05:53.519
 does bring those

00:05:53.519 --> 00:05:54.100
 people in

00:05:54.100 --> 00:05:55.779
 and here they come

00:05:55.779 --> 00:05:57.659
 here are the Greeks

00:05:57.659 --> 00:05:59.299
 they go to somebody

00:05:59.299 --> 00:05:59.959
 with a Greek name

00:05:59.959 --> 00:06:00.139
 Philip

00:06:00.139 --> 00:06:01.219
 one of the apostles

00:06:01.219 --> 00:06:01.799
 who understood

00:06:01.799 --> 00:06:02.419
 Greek culture

00:06:02.419 --> 00:06:03.679
 and they say

00:06:03.679 --> 00:06:04.699
 sir

00:06:04.699 --> 00:06:06.199
 we wish to see

00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:06.599
 Jesus

00:06:06.599 --> 00:06:07.199
 verse 21

00:06:07.199 --> 00:06:08.899
 or they want to

00:06:08.899 --> 00:06:09.379
 see him

00:06:09.379 --> 00:06:11.139
 and it would be

00:06:11.139 --> 00:06:11.659
 very tempting

00:06:11.659 --> 00:06:12.099
 for Jesus

00:06:12.099 --> 00:06:12.899
 to take his time

00:06:12.899 --> 00:06:13.059
 there

00:06:13.059 --> 00:06:13.539
 to have a kind of

00:06:13.539 --> 00:06:14.399
 Sunday school class

00:06:14.399 --> 00:06:15.539
 or an apologetic session

00:06:15.539 --> 00:06:17.239
 to gain international

00:06:17.239 --> 00:06:18.019
 popularity

00:06:18.019 --> 00:06:19.000
 and perhaps

00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:19.500
 these people

00:06:19.500 --> 00:06:20.039
 have got enough

00:06:20.039 --> 00:06:21.279
 wealth and income

00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:22.699
 to travel to

00:06:22.699 --> 00:06:22.959
 Jerusalem

00:06:22.959 --> 00:06:23.479
 perhaps

00:06:23.479 --> 00:06:24.419
 in their places

00:06:24.419 --> 00:06:25.059
 in Greece

00:06:25.059 --> 00:06:25.699
 and in Athens

00:06:25.699 --> 00:06:26.579
 they could promote

00:06:26.579 --> 00:06:27.459
 the name of Jesus

00:06:27.459 --> 00:06:28.759
 Christ internationally

00:06:28.759 --> 00:06:31.339
 and Jesus

00:06:31.339 --> 00:06:32.399
 is not distracted

00:06:32.399 --> 00:06:34.339
 but look at

00:06:34.339 --> 00:06:35.059
 verse 23

00:06:35.059 --> 00:06:37.339
 verse 23

00:06:37.339 --> 00:06:38.139
 tells us secondly

00:06:38.139 --> 00:06:38.719
 that Jesus

00:06:38.719 --> 00:06:39.579
 would not

00:06:39.579 --> 00:06:40.559
 be distracted

00:06:40.559 --> 00:06:42.139
 from the cross

00:06:42.139 --> 00:06:44.519
 and it gives us

00:06:44.519 --> 00:06:45.099
 the reasons

00:06:45.099 --> 00:06:46.659
 now notice

00:06:46.659 --> 00:06:47.339
 in verse 23

00:06:47.339 --> 00:06:48.459
 Jesus' answer

00:06:48.459 --> 00:06:49.059
 to the Greeks

00:06:49.060 --> 00:06:50.079
 actually isn't

00:06:50.079 --> 00:06:51.360
 really an answer

00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:52.360
 is it?

00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:54.040
 to the question

00:06:54.040 --> 00:06:54.560
 of the Greeks

00:06:54.560 --> 00:06:55.300
 Philip and Andrew

00:06:55.300 --> 00:06:55.759
 come to him

00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:55.980
 and say

00:06:55.980 --> 00:06:56.639
 there are some

00:06:56.639 --> 00:06:56.920
 Greeks

00:06:56.920 --> 00:06:57.399
 that want to

00:06:57.399 --> 00:06:57.860
 see you

00:06:57.860 --> 00:06:58.780
 and Jesus

00:06:58.780 --> 00:06:59.680
 begins to talk

00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:00.579
 about dying

00:07:00.579 --> 00:07:02.540
 now what's

00:07:02.540 --> 00:07:03.139
 the connection?

00:07:04.500 --> 00:07:05.720
 what is going on?

00:07:07.199 --> 00:07:07.980
 well those of you

00:07:07.980 --> 00:07:08.279
 who know

00:07:08.279 --> 00:07:08.819
 John's gospel

00:07:08.819 --> 00:07:09.199
 and all

00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:09.639
 will know

00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:10.379
 that John's gospel

00:07:10.379 --> 00:07:10.860
 is a game

00:07:10.860 --> 00:07:11.720
 of two hearts

00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:13.740
 chapters 1

00:07:13.740 --> 00:07:14.340
 to 11

00:07:14.340 --> 00:07:16.120
 Jesus talks

00:07:16.120 --> 00:07:16.420
 about the

00:07:16.420 --> 00:07:17.779
 great signs

00:07:17.779 --> 00:07:19.979
 the great signs

00:07:19.979 --> 00:07:20.500
 that Jesus

00:07:20.500 --> 00:07:21.079
 has accomplished

00:07:21.079 --> 00:07:22.399
 he changed

00:07:22.399 --> 00:07:22.759
 the water

00:07:22.759 --> 00:07:23.139
 into wine

00:07:23.139 --> 00:07:23.739
 that's the first

00:07:23.739 --> 00:07:23.979
 one

00:07:23.979 --> 00:07:25.039
 he healed people

00:07:25.039 --> 00:07:25.359
 and there are

00:07:25.359 --> 00:07:25.879
 other signs

00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:26.619
 and then ultimately

00:07:26.619 --> 00:07:27.579
 in chapter 11

00:07:27.579 --> 00:07:29.159
 with the resurrection

00:07:29.159 --> 00:07:29.879
 of Lazarus

00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:30.459
 who's been in the

00:07:30.459 --> 00:07:31.179
 tomb for three

00:07:31.179 --> 00:07:31.839
 days

00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:33.279
 Lazarus comes out

00:07:33.279 --> 00:07:34.000
 at the word

00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:34.619
 of Jesus

00:07:34.619 --> 00:07:35.859
 and that is the

00:07:35.859 --> 00:07:37.139
 last great sign

00:07:37.139 --> 00:07:37.739
 of the first

00:07:37.739 --> 00:07:38.579
 11 chapters

00:07:38.579 --> 00:07:40.500
 and the signs

00:07:40.500 --> 00:07:40.899
 of Jesus

00:07:40.899 --> 00:07:41.439
 are followed

00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:42.199
 by the teachings

00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:42.759
 of Jesus

00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:44.119
 at every point

00:07:44.119 --> 00:07:45.819
 and then comes

00:07:45.819 --> 00:07:46.579
 chapters 12

00:07:46.579 --> 00:07:47.259
 to 21

00:07:47.259 --> 00:07:48.199
 the book

00:07:48.199 --> 00:07:48.819
 of glory

00:07:48.819 --> 00:07:49.539
 the book

00:07:49.539 --> 00:07:50.159
 of signs

00:07:50.159 --> 00:07:50.800
 and the book

00:07:50.800 --> 00:07:51.360
 of glory

00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:53.120
 and at the end

00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:53.519
 of the gospel

00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:53.939
 it's called

00:07:53.939 --> 00:07:54.219
 the book

00:07:54.219 --> 00:07:54.719
 of glory

00:07:54.719 --> 00:07:56.500
 why is that?

00:07:57.779 --> 00:07:58.620
 why is that?

00:07:58.819 --> 00:07:59.379
 well it's because

00:07:59.379 --> 00:08:00.560
 the son of God

00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:01.539
 is what he's going

00:08:01.539 --> 00:08:02.240
 to accomplish

00:08:02.240 --> 00:08:04.180
 and he is going

00:08:04.180 --> 00:08:04.759
 to accomplish

00:08:04.759 --> 00:08:05.300
 the glory

00:08:05.300 --> 00:08:05.879
 of God

00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:07.180
 and the glory

00:08:07.180 --> 00:08:07.860
 of God

00:08:07.860 --> 00:08:08.879
 is intimately

00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:09.719
 intricately

00:08:09.719 --> 00:08:10.839
 tied up

00:08:10.839 --> 00:08:12.579
 with this concept

00:08:12.579 --> 00:08:13.139
 of the hour

00:08:13.139 --> 00:08:14.099
 the special hour

00:08:14.099 --> 00:08:14.779
 that would be coming

00:08:14.779 --> 00:08:16.119
 so in chapter 2

00:08:16.119 --> 00:08:17.179
 chapter 7

00:08:17.179 --> 00:08:18.019
 chapter 8

00:08:18.019 --> 00:08:18.419
 and in some

00:08:18.419 --> 00:08:18.839
 other places

00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:19.759
 Jesus makes it

00:08:19.759 --> 00:08:20.039
 clear

00:08:20.039 --> 00:08:20.979
 my hour

00:08:20.979 --> 00:08:21.519
 has not yet

00:08:21.519 --> 00:08:22.000
 come

00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:23.619
 he would not

00:08:23.619 --> 00:08:24.299
 be made a king

00:08:24.299 --> 00:08:24.719
 yet

00:08:24.719 --> 00:08:25.919
 because his hour

00:08:25.919 --> 00:08:26.439
 had not yet

00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:26.859
 come

00:08:26.859 --> 00:08:28.399
 chapter 7

00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:29.079
 and chapter 8

00:08:29.079 --> 00:08:30.179
 they try to address

00:08:30.179 --> 00:08:30.699
 Jesus

00:08:30.699 --> 00:08:31.799
 and they try to

00:08:31.799 --> 00:08:32.659
 seize him

00:08:32.659 --> 00:08:33.740
 but they're unable

00:08:33.740 --> 00:08:34.279
 to do it

00:08:34.279 --> 00:08:35.139
 why are they unable

00:08:35.139 --> 00:08:35.579
 to do it

00:08:35.579 --> 00:08:36.299
 John tells us

00:08:36.299 --> 00:08:37.100
 because his hour

00:08:37.100 --> 00:08:38.000
 had not yet come

00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:40.019
 but when we come

00:08:40.019 --> 00:08:40.899
 to chapter 12

00:08:40.899 --> 00:08:42.240
 Jesus tells us

00:08:42.240 --> 00:08:42.919
 the hour has now

00:08:42.919 --> 00:08:43.220
 come

00:08:43.220 --> 00:08:45.299
 the hour has now

00:08:45.299 --> 00:08:46.159
 come for the

00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:47.019
 glory of God

00:08:47.019 --> 00:08:48.279
 and what is the

00:08:48.279 --> 00:08:49.360
 glory says John

00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:50.620
 the glory is

00:08:50.620 --> 00:08:51.419
 the crucifixion

00:08:51.419 --> 00:08:52.200
 of Jesus Christ

00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:54.200
 and his resurrection

00:08:54.200 --> 00:08:54.860
 from the dead

00:08:54.860 --> 00:08:56.960
 and his ascension

00:08:56.960 --> 00:08:57.639
 into heaven

00:08:57.639 --> 00:08:58.720
 that is the glory

00:08:58.720 --> 00:08:59.039
 of God

00:08:59.039 --> 00:09:00.179
 and so everything

00:09:00.179 --> 00:09:01.340
 in Jesus' ministry

00:09:01.340 --> 00:09:02.299
 is leading

00:09:02.299 --> 00:09:03.259
 building towards

00:09:03.259 --> 00:09:03.840
 this day

00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:06.539
 furthermore

00:09:06.539 --> 00:09:06.919
 we've seen

00:09:06.919 --> 00:09:07.980
 Jesus' strategy

00:09:07.980 --> 00:09:09.039
 he's not just

00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:09.960
 to reach the Jews

00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:10.460
 he's not just

00:09:10.460 --> 00:09:11.440
 to reach the Israelites

00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:12.960
 and the church people

00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:14.019
 but he intends

00:09:14.019 --> 00:09:14.519
 to reach the

00:09:14.519 --> 00:09:15.200
 unchurch people

00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:16.240
 from all over the world

00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:18.539
 and when these

00:09:18.539 --> 00:09:19.399
 Greeks come to him

00:09:19.399 --> 00:09:20.100
 and say we would

00:09:20.100 --> 00:09:20.779
 see Jesus

00:09:20.779 --> 00:09:22.180
 here is effectively

00:09:22.180 --> 00:09:23.159
 Jesus' answer

00:09:23.159 --> 00:09:24.159
 he's saying

00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:26.180
 that unless you

00:09:26.180 --> 00:09:28.080
 understand the

00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:29.060
 crucifixion

00:09:29.060 --> 00:09:31.000
 you will never

00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:31.720
 see Jesus

00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:35.100
 unless you

00:09:35.100 --> 00:09:35.879
 understand the

00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:36.440
 crucifixion

00:09:36.440 --> 00:09:36.879
 you will never

00:09:36.879 --> 00:09:37.539
 really see him

00:09:37.539 --> 00:09:39.719
 and rather

00:09:39.719 --> 00:09:40.039
 than this

00:09:40.039 --> 00:09:40.620
 question of

00:09:40.620 --> 00:09:41.299
 the curious

00:09:41.299 --> 00:09:41.759
 being a

00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:42.279
 distraction

00:09:42.279 --> 00:09:42.899
 for Jesus

00:09:42.899 --> 00:09:43.740
 actually it

00:09:43.740 --> 00:09:44.120
 becomes a

00:09:44.120 --> 00:09:44.659
 great catalyst

00:09:44.659 --> 00:09:46.259
 for Jesus

00:09:46.259 --> 00:09:47.419
 it triggers him

00:09:47.419 --> 00:09:48.059
 to talk about

00:09:48.059 --> 00:09:49.199
 the very heart

00:09:49.199 --> 00:09:49.559
 of what he

00:09:49.559 --> 00:09:50.279
 came to do

00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:52.179
 and he says

00:09:52.179 --> 00:09:53.299
 you would see

00:09:53.299 --> 00:09:53.719
 Jesus

00:09:53.719 --> 00:09:54.379
 and he leads

00:09:54.379 --> 00:09:54.799
 them straight

00:09:54.799 --> 00:09:55.480
 to the cross

00:09:55.480 --> 00:09:57.740
 now brothers and sisters

00:09:57.740 --> 00:09:58.740
 this is so important

00:09:58.740 --> 00:09:59.179
 isn't it

00:09:59.179 --> 00:10:00.959
 because there are

00:10:00.959 --> 00:10:02.079
 so many people

00:10:02.079 --> 00:10:02.659
 this week

00:10:02.659 --> 00:10:03.279
 who will try

00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:04.139
 to understand

00:10:04.139 --> 00:10:04.599
 Jesus

00:10:04.600 --> 00:10:05.540
 unbelievably

00:10:05.540 --> 00:10:06.420
 without

00:10:06.420 --> 00:10:07.100
 understanding

00:10:07.100 --> 00:10:07.659
 the depth

00:10:07.659 --> 00:10:07.980
 of our

00:10:07.980 --> 00:10:08.340
 need

00:10:08.340 --> 00:10:09.740
 without

00:10:09.740 --> 00:10:10.360
 understanding

00:10:10.360 --> 00:10:10.920
 our own

00:10:10.920 --> 00:10:11.440
 sin

00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:12.259
 and without

00:10:12.259 --> 00:10:12.840
 understanding

00:10:12.840 --> 00:10:14.220
 the substitutionary

00:10:14.220 --> 00:10:15.040
 atonement

00:10:15.040 --> 00:10:16.159
 of Jesus

00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:16.720
 Christ

00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:18.320
 that is his

00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:19.279
 death on the

00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:19.740
 cross

00:10:19.740 --> 00:10:21.220
 as our

00:10:21.220 --> 00:10:21.759
 substitute

00:10:21.759 --> 00:10:22.379
 in our

00:10:22.379 --> 00:10:22.820
 place

00:10:22.820 --> 00:10:23.639
 and without

00:10:23.639 --> 00:10:24.860
 understanding

00:10:24.860 --> 00:10:25.340
 the depth

00:10:25.340 --> 00:10:25.680
 of our

00:10:25.680 --> 00:10:26.259
 need

00:10:26.259 --> 00:10:28.720
 and the glory

00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:29.420
 of what God

00:10:29.420 --> 00:10:29.920
 has done to

00:10:29.920 --> 00:10:30.620
 meet our need

00:10:30.620 --> 00:10:31.000
 in Christ

00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:31.480
 we cannot

00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:32.000
 possibly

00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:32.639
 see him

00:10:32.639 --> 00:10:34.419
 we cannot

00:10:34.419 --> 00:10:34.860
 possibly

00:10:34.860 --> 00:10:35.659
 understand him

00:10:35.659 --> 00:10:37.139
 we might have

00:10:37.139 --> 00:10:37.759
 many theories

00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:38.179
 about him

00:10:38.179 --> 00:10:38.600
 but it will

00:10:38.600 --> 00:10:38.899
 not be

00:10:38.899 --> 00:10:39.320
 the right

00:10:39.320 --> 00:10:39.659
 theory

00:10:39.659 --> 00:10:41.120
 from God's

00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:41.600
 perspective

00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:42.100
 without the

00:10:42.100 --> 00:10:42.519
 cross

00:10:42.519 --> 00:10:44.419
 and Jesus

00:10:44.419 --> 00:10:45.059
 wouldn't even

00:10:45.059 --> 00:10:45.379
 let

00:10:45.379 --> 00:10:46.159
 he would not

00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:46.639
 even let

00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:47.340
 his disciples

00:10:47.340 --> 00:10:48.200
 go out

00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:48.860
 to preach

00:10:48.860 --> 00:10:49.720
 he told them

00:10:49.720 --> 00:10:50.580
 to be quiet

00:10:50.580 --> 00:10:51.620
 didn't he

00:10:51.620 --> 00:10:53.120
 until they

00:10:53.120 --> 00:10:53.700
 understood

00:10:53.700 --> 00:10:54.440
 the resurrection

00:10:54.440 --> 00:10:55.080
 through the

00:10:55.080 --> 00:10:55.460
 cross of

00:10:55.460 --> 00:10:55.940
 Calvary

00:10:55.940 --> 00:10:57.580
 now

00:10:57.580 --> 00:10:58.100
 they are

00:10:58.100 --> 00:10:58.600
 ready to

00:10:58.600 --> 00:10:58.919
 preach

00:10:58.919 --> 00:10:59.700
 because they

00:10:59.700 --> 00:10:59.919
 have a

00:10:59.919 --> 00:11:00.279
 crucified

00:11:00.279 --> 00:11:00.779
 and risen

00:11:00.779 --> 00:11:01.379
 saviour

00:11:01.379 --> 00:11:03.600
 so it's

00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:03.939
 not just

00:11:03.939 --> 00:11:04.480
 moralistic

00:11:04.480 --> 00:11:05.059
 lessons about

00:11:05.059 --> 00:11:05.339
 when you're

00:11:05.339 --> 00:11:05.720
 in trouble

00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:07.919
 look at

00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:08.519
 this teaching

00:11:08.519 --> 00:11:09.899
 it's not

00:11:09.899 --> 00:11:10.959
 this teaching

00:11:10.959 --> 00:11:11.360
 if you want

00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:11.679
 to live a

00:11:11.679 --> 00:11:12.159
 good life

00:11:12.159 --> 00:11:12.480
 if you want

00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:12.699
 to set

00:11:12.699 --> 00:11:13.019
 a good

00:11:13.019 --> 00:11:13.919
 moral example

00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:15.120
 if you want

00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:15.399
 to have

00:11:15.399 --> 00:11:16.319
 social justice

00:11:16.319 --> 00:11:16.779
 and care

00:11:16.779 --> 00:11:17.220
 for the poor

00:11:17.220 --> 00:11:17.860
 all of which

00:11:17.860 --> 00:11:18.220
 is good

00:11:18.220 --> 00:11:18.579
 and true

00:11:18.579 --> 00:11:19.199
 and is right

00:11:19.199 --> 00:11:20.419
 but that is

00:11:20.419 --> 00:11:20.860
 not the heart

00:11:20.860 --> 00:11:21.399
 of the gospel

00:11:21.399 --> 00:11:22.579
 whatever you do

00:11:22.579 --> 00:11:23.120
 don't mistake

00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:23.459
 that

00:11:23.459 --> 00:11:25.679
 you won't

00:11:25.679 --> 00:11:26.199
 see him

00:11:26.199 --> 00:11:27.019
 you will

00:11:27.019 --> 00:11:27.740
 not understand

00:11:27.740 --> 00:11:28.199
 him

00:11:28.199 --> 00:11:29.559
 without the

00:11:29.559 --> 00:11:29.939
 cross

00:11:29.940 --> 00:11:31.960
 and certainly

00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:32.380
 you cannot

00:11:32.380 --> 00:11:32.900
 understand

00:11:32.900 --> 00:11:34.120
 the Christian

00:11:34.120 --> 00:11:34.500
 religion

00:11:34.500 --> 00:11:35.220
 without embracing

00:11:35.220 --> 00:11:35.640
 the cross

00:11:35.640 --> 00:11:36.000
 of Jesus

00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:36.460
 Christ

00:11:36.460 --> 00:11:38.120
 so when the

00:11:38.120 --> 00:11:38.800
 Greek comes

00:11:38.800 --> 00:11:39.140
 and the

00:11:39.140 --> 00:11:39.860
 world comes

00:11:39.860 --> 00:11:40.300
 and wants

00:11:40.300 --> 00:11:40.620
 to see

00:11:40.620 --> 00:11:40.940
 Jesus

00:11:40.940 --> 00:11:41.280
 he says

00:11:41.280 --> 00:11:41.580
 let me

00:11:41.580 --> 00:11:41.840
 tell you

00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:42.180
 about my

00:11:42.180 --> 00:11:42.620
 death

00:11:42.620 --> 00:11:43.660
 and he's

00:11:43.660 --> 00:11:44.160
 talking about

00:11:44.160 --> 00:11:44.520
 his death

00:11:44.520 --> 00:11:44.800
 he's going

00:11:44.800 --> 00:11:45.060
 to give you

00:11:45.060 --> 00:11:45.860
 five things

00:11:45.860 --> 00:11:47.580
 five reasons

00:11:47.580 --> 00:11:48.180
 why he will

00:11:48.180 --> 00:11:48.620
 not be

00:11:48.620 --> 00:11:49.060
 deterred

00:11:49.060 --> 00:11:49.560
 why he will

00:11:49.560 --> 00:11:49.880
 not be

00:11:49.880 --> 00:11:50.260
 distracted

00:11:50.260 --> 00:11:50.620
 from the

00:11:50.620 --> 00:11:50.980
 cross

00:11:50.980 --> 00:11:51.980
 why he's

00:11:51.980 --> 00:11:52.480
 eager

00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:53.500
 to go

00:11:53.500 --> 00:11:53.700
 to the

00:11:53.700 --> 00:11:54.160
 cross

00:11:54.159 --> 00:11:55.799
 so let's

00:11:55.799 --> 00:11:56.120
 listen to

00:11:56.120 --> 00:11:56.360
 Jesus

00:11:56.360 --> 00:11:56.779
 on Palm

00:11:56.779 --> 00:11:57.079
 Sunday

00:11:57.079 --> 00:11:57.480
 firstly

00:11:57.480 --> 00:11:57.740
 verses

00:11:57.740 --> 00:11:58.199
 23

00:11:58.199 --> 00:11:58.740
 to 26

00:11:58.740 --> 00:11:59.259
 the first

00:11:59.259 --> 00:11:59.659
 reason

00:11:59.659 --> 00:12:00.480
 why he will

00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:00.759
 not be

00:12:00.759 --> 00:12:01.139
 distracted

00:12:01.139 --> 00:12:01.500
 from the

00:12:01.500 --> 00:12:01.779
 cross

00:12:01.779 --> 00:12:02.399
 is because

00:12:02.399 --> 00:12:02.980
 the cross

00:12:02.980 --> 00:12:03.699
 glorifies

00:12:03.699 --> 00:12:04.079
 Jesus

00:12:04.079 --> 00:12:04.620
 Christ

00:12:04.620 --> 00:12:06.579
 the cross

00:12:06.579 --> 00:12:07.120
 glorifies

00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:07.419
 Jesus

00:12:07.419 --> 00:12:07.719
 Christ

00:12:07.719 --> 00:12:08.059
 the son

00:12:08.059 --> 00:12:08.360
 of God

00:12:08.360 --> 00:12:08.679
 the son

00:12:08.679 --> 00:12:09.120
 of man

00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:11.679
 it is in

00:12:11.679 --> 00:12:12.059
 the cross

00:12:12.059 --> 00:12:12.500
 that Jesus

00:12:12.500 --> 00:12:13.139
 finds his own

00:12:13.139 --> 00:12:13.719
 glory

00:12:13.719 --> 00:12:16.219
 you could say

00:12:16.219 --> 00:12:17.659
 that makes no sense

00:12:17.659 --> 00:12:18.279
 at all does it

00:12:18.279 --> 00:12:20.959
 when we put a man

00:12:20.959 --> 00:12:21.759
 to death

00:12:21.759 --> 00:12:22.980
 how is he glorified

00:12:22.980 --> 00:12:23.519
 well you can see

00:12:23.519 --> 00:12:23.920
 what Jesus

00:12:23.920 --> 00:12:24.500
 says about it

00:12:24.500 --> 00:12:24.779
 in verses

00:12:24.779 --> 00:12:25.259
 23

00:12:25.259 --> 00:12:25.920
 to 26

00:12:25.920 --> 00:12:26.680
 he says

00:12:26.680 --> 00:12:27.500
 it's like a grain

00:12:27.500 --> 00:12:27.879
 of wheat

00:12:27.879 --> 00:12:29.120
 if you hold a grain

00:12:29.120 --> 00:12:29.460
 of wheat

00:12:29.460 --> 00:12:30.360
 in your hand

00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:31.300
 in the air

00:12:31.300 --> 00:12:33.580
 what will happen

00:12:33.580 --> 00:12:34.420
 when it might blow

00:12:34.420 --> 00:12:34.980
 away but nothing

00:12:34.980 --> 00:12:35.379
 will happen

00:12:35.379 --> 00:12:37.899
 it will just be a

00:12:37.899 --> 00:12:38.620
 single seed

00:12:38.620 --> 00:12:39.320
 that's what it

00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:39.899
 will remain

00:12:39.899 --> 00:12:40.840
 but if you put

00:12:40.840 --> 00:12:42.000
 that single seed

00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:43.180
 into the ground

00:12:43.180 --> 00:12:44.240
 when that seed

00:12:44.240 --> 00:12:45.000
 dies

00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:46.019
 it will bear

00:12:46.019 --> 00:12:47.220
 fruit to many

00:12:47.220 --> 00:12:47.800
 there will be

00:12:47.800 --> 00:12:48.420
 many many

00:12:48.420 --> 00:12:49.440
 many more seeds

00:12:49.440 --> 00:12:51.840
 the death of the

00:12:51.840 --> 00:12:52.779
 seed brings about

00:12:52.779 --> 00:12:54.179
 many many seeds

00:12:54.179 --> 00:12:55.399
 and Jesus is

00:12:55.399 --> 00:12:56.459
 glorified by

00:12:56.459 --> 00:12:57.339
 laying down

00:12:57.339 --> 00:12:58.100
 his life

00:12:58.100 --> 00:12:59.199
 and so now

00:12:59.199 --> 00:12:59.720
 there are many

00:12:59.720 --> 00:13:00.579
 little Christs

00:13:00.579 --> 00:13:02.620
 that is what

00:13:02.620 --> 00:13:03.319
 a Christian is

00:13:03.319 --> 00:13:05.799
 Christianos means

00:13:05.799 --> 00:13:06.740
 little Christs

00:13:06.740 --> 00:13:09.079
 many little Christs

00:13:09.079 --> 00:13:11.639
 many little Christs

00:13:11.639 --> 00:13:12.279
 many Christs

00:13:12.279 --> 00:13:13.159
 that are harvested

00:13:13.159 --> 00:13:13.699
 for the kingdom

00:13:13.699 --> 00:13:14.139
 of God

00:13:14.139 --> 00:13:15.240
 but ultimately

00:13:15.240 --> 00:13:16.559
 Jesus finds his

00:13:16.559 --> 00:13:17.459
 glory in this one

00:13:17.459 --> 00:13:18.139
 thing he says it

00:13:18.139 --> 00:13:19.039
 over and over again

00:13:19.039 --> 00:13:19.860
 in John's gospel

00:13:19.860 --> 00:13:21.319
 he says I came

00:13:21.319 --> 00:13:22.339
 not to do my own

00:13:22.340 --> 00:13:24.040
 will but the

00:13:24.040 --> 00:13:24.399
 will of him

00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:24.940
 who sent me

00:13:24.940 --> 00:13:26.759
 I came not to

00:13:26.759 --> 00:13:27.440
 seek my own

00:13:27.440 --> 00:13:28.200
 glory but to

00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:28.759
 seek the glory

00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:29.100
 of the one

00:13:29.100 --> 00:13:29.759
 who sent me

00:13:29.759 --> 00:13:31.560
 you see Jesus

00:13:31.560 --> 00:13:32.460
 his whole life

00:13:32.460 --> 00:13:33.460
 is bound up

00:13:33.460 --> 00:13:34.420
 in submission

00:13:34.420 --> 00:13:35.820
 to the father

00:13:35.820 --> 00:13:37.620
 and he found

00:13:37.620 --> 00:13:38.639
 his glory in

00:13:38.639 --> 00:13:39.399
 submitting to the

00:13:39.399 --> 00:13:39.740
 father

00:13:39.740 --> 00:13:40.940
 and now we come

00:13:40.940 --> 00:13:41.680
 to the hour of

00:13:41.680 --> 00:13:42.899
 his greatest glory

00:13:42.899 --> 00:13:43.899
 here is the

00:13:43.899 --> 00:13:45.280
 spectacular display

00:13:45.280 --> 00:13:47.180
 of submission

00:13:47.180 --> 00:13:47.960
 to the father

00:13:47.960 --> 00:13:50.440
 he lays down

00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:51.300
 his life

00:13:51.300 --> 00:13:52.460
 in a painful

00:13:52.460 --> 00:13:53.139
 death on

00:13:53.139 --> 00:13:54.180
 Calvary's cross

00:13:54.180 --> 00:13:55.379
 for the sake

00:13:55.379 --> 00:13:56.100
 of his father

00:13:56.100 --> 00:13:57.620
 and for the sake

00:13:57.620 --> 00:13:58.320
 of his church

00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:00.220
 what a glory

00:14:00.220 --> 00:14:01.040
 to the son of man

00:14:01.040 --> 00:14:01.700
 no wonder

00:14:01.700 --> 00:14:02.540
 Christians gather

00:14:02.540 --> 00:14:03.440
 all over the

00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:04.400
 world today

00:14:04.400 --> 00:14:05.580
 to sing hymns

00:14:05.580 --> 00:14:06.280
 of praise to the

00:14:06.280 --> 00:14:06.940
 glory of Jesus

00:14:06.940 --> 00:14:07.440
 Christ

00:14:07.440 --> 00:14:09.019
 because of what

00:14:09.019 --> 00:14:09.480
 he's done on

00:14:09.480 --> 00:14:10.259
 Calvary's cross

00:14:10.259 --> 00:14:11.900
 it was the

00:14:11.900 --> 00:14:12.600
 essence of his

00:14:12.600 --> 00:14:13.120
 glory

00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:14.840
 and let me

00:14:14.840 --> 00:14:15.420
 tell you something

00:14:15.419 --> 00:14:16.519
 the essence of

00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:17.559
 your glory

00:14:17.559 --> 00:14:19.079
 as a little

00:14:19.079 --> 00:14:19.620
 Christ

00:14:19.620 --> 00:14:20.519
 as a Christian

00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:21.379
 is to what

00:14:21.379 --> 00:14:23.399
 is to take

00:14:23.399 --> 00:14:23.959
 up your cross

00:14:23.959 --> 00:14:27.039
 and following

00:14:27.039 --> 00:14:27.579
 him

00:14:27.579 --> 00:14:30.360
 as a supreme

00:14:30.360 --> 00:14:31.240
 act of submission

00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:31.899
 to the father

00:14:31.899 --> 00:14:32.779
 that you would

00:14:32.779 --> 00:14:33.879
 lay down your

00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:34.740
 life for him

00:14:34.740 --> 00:14:35.719
 out of love

00:14:35.719 --> 00:14:36.199
 that is your

00:14:36.199 --> 00:14:36.719
 glory as a

00:14:36.719 --> 00:14:37.240
 human being

00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:39.559
 and Jesus

00:14:39.559 --> 00:14:40.079
 saying that is

00:14:40.079 --> 00:14:40.599
 his glory

00:14:40.599 --> 00:14:42.799
 Jesus did

00:14:42.799 --> 00:14:43.500
 many many

00:14:43.500 --> 00:14:44.219
 things which we

00:14:44.219 --> 00:14:44.799
 give him glory

00:14:44.799 --> 00:14:45.039
 for

00:14:45.039 --> 00:14:45.659
 don't we

00:14:45.659 --> 00:14:47.500
 he turned

00:14:47.500 --> 00:14:47.959
 water into

00:14:47.959 --> 00:14:48.360
 wine

00:14:48.360 --> 00:14:50.019
 he took a

00:14:50.019 --> 00:14:50.599
 lame man for

00:14:50.599 --> 00:14:51.319
 38 years

00:14:51.319 --> 00:14:51.759
 and he said

00:14:51.759 --> 00:14:52.360
 rise up

00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:52.740
 take your

00:14:52.740 --> 00:14:53.399
 mat and walk

00:14:53.399 --> 00:14:53.819
 and the man

00:14:53.819 --> 00:14:54.279
 got up and

00:14:54.279 --> 00:14:54.620
 walked

00:14:54.620 --> 00:14:56.319
 he took a

00:14:56.319 --> 00:14:56.639
 man who'd

00:14:56.639 --> 00:14:57.139
 been born

00:14:57.139 --> 00:14:57.959
 blind

00:14:57.959 --> 00:14:59.539
 man who'd

00:14:59.539 --> 00:15:00.199
 never seen

00:15:00.199 --> 00:15:00.919
 the glory of

00:15:00.919 --> 00:15:01.559
 God's creation

00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:02.120
 and Jesus

00:15:02.120 --> 00:15:02.959
 gave him

00:15:02.959 --> 00:15:03.419
 sight

00:15:03.419 --> 00:15:05.179
 Jesus disturbed

00:15:05.179 --> 00:15:06.179
 funerals by

00:15:06.179 --> 00:15:06.839
 raising the

00:15:06.839 --> 00:15:07.339
 corpse

00:15:07.339 --> 00:15:12.059
 when Jesus'

00:15:12.299 --> 00:15:12.879
 friend is in

00:15:12.879 --> 00:15:13.219
 the tomb

00:15:13.219 --> 00:15:13.879
 for two days

00:15:13.879 --> 00:15:14.319
 he simply

00:15:14.319 --> 00:15:14.579
 says

00:15:14.580 --> 00:15:15.120
 Lazarus

00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:15.600
 come out

00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:16.240
 come forth

00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:16.840
 and Lazarus

00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:17.440
 comes out

00:15:17.440 --> 00:15:18.040
 and we

00:15:18.040 --> 00:15:18.700
 say glory

00:15:18.700 --> 00:15:19.280
 is Jesus

00:15:19.280 --> 00:15:19.940
 for that

00:15:19.940 --> 00:15:21.700
 but the

00:15:21.700 --> 00:15:22.259
 most glorious

00:15:22.259 --> 00:15:22.660
 thing that

00:15:22.660 --> 00:15:23.540
 Jesus ever

00:15:23.540 --> 00:15:24.400
 did was to

00:15:24.400 --> 00:15:24.980
 lay down his

00:15:24.980 --> 00:15:25.460
 life on the

00:15:25.460 --> 00:15:25.860
 cross of

00:15:25.860 --> 00:15:26.280
 Calvary

00:15:26.280 --> 00:15:30.060
 and look at

00:15:30.060 --> 00:15:30.620
 the life that

00:15:30.620 --> 00:15:31.020
 comes out of

00:15:31.020 --> 00:15:31.540
 that tomb

00:15:31.540 --> 00:15:34.180
 because he has

00:15:34.180 --> 00:15:34.540
 done that

00:15:34.540 --> 00:15:35.360
 the cross of

00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:35.960
 Calvary is

00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:36.520
 precious to

00:15:36.520 --> 00:15:37.440
 every believer

00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:38.240
 because it

00:15:38.240 --> 00:15:38.960
 glorifies the

00:15:38.960 --> 00:15:39.460
 son of man

00:15:39.460 --> 00:15:39.900
 but Jesus

00:15:39.900 --> 00:15:40.500
 doesn't stop

00:15:40.500 --> 00:15:40.900
 there does he

00:15:40.900 --> 00:15:41.700
 on Palm

00:15:41.700 --> 00:15:41.980
 Sunday

00:15:41.980 --> 00:15:42.340
 he says

00:15:42.340 --> 00:15:42.980
 verse 27

00:15:42.980 --> 00:15:43.520
 32

00:15:43.520 --> 00:15:44.520
 he said

00:15:44.520 --> 00:15:44.820
 it's not

00:15:44.820 --> 00:15:45.220
 just the

00:15:45.220 --> 00:15:45.600
 glory of

00:15:45.600 --> 00:15:45.879
 the son

00:15:45.879 --> 00:15:46.220
 of God

00:15:46.220 --> 00:15:46.520
 but it's

00:15:46.520 --> 00:15:46.920
 the glory

00:15:46.920 --> 00:15:47.240
 of the

00:15:47.240 --> 00:15:47.620
 father

00:15:47.620 --> 00:15:50.080
 and Jesus

00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:50.860
 himself says

00:15:50.860 --> 00:15:51.100
 it

00:15:51.100 --> 00:15:51.720
 he says

00:15:51.720 --> 00:15:52.160
 my soul

00:15:52.160 --> 00:15:52.620
 is troubled

00:15:52.620 --> 00:15:53.300
 on Palm

00:15:53.300 --> 00:15:53.700
 Sunday

00:15:53.700 --> 00:15:54.460
 long before

00:15:54.460 --> 00:15:54.820
 he gets

00:15:54.820 --> 00:15:56.080
 to Gethsemane

00:15:56.080 --> 00:15:57.520
 his soul

00:15:57.520 --> 00:15:58.060
 is disturbed

00:15:58.060 --> 00:15:59.080
 within him

00:15:59.080 --> 00:16:00.800
 like a

00:16:00.800 --> 00:16:01.140
 psalmist

00:16:01.140 --> 00:16:01.480
 said

00:16:01.480 --> 00:16:02.060
 the word

00:16:02.060 --> 00:16:02.440
 here is

00:16:02.440 --> 00:16:02.900
 exactly the

00:16:02.900 --> 00:16:03.200
 same as

00:16:03.200 --> 00:16:03.820
 Psalm 42

00:16:03.820 --> 00:16:04.640
 why are

00:16:04.640 --> 00:16:05.000
 you down

00:16:05.000 --> 00:16:05.400
 cast

00:16:05.400 --> 00:16:05.720
 on my

00:16:05.720 --> 00:16:05.940
 soul

00:16:05.940 --> 00:16:06.580
 why are

00:16:06.580 --> 00:16:06.700
 you

00:16:06.700 --> 00:16:07.040
 troubled

00:16:07.040 --> 00:16:07.420
 in my

00:16:07.420 --> 00:16:07.740
 soul

00:16:07.740 --> 00:16:08.500
 and Jesus

00:16:08.500 --> 00:16:08.800
 says

00:16:08.800 --> 00:16:09.140
 I am

00:16:09.140 --> 00:16:09.400
 troubled

00:16:09.400 --> 00:16:09.740
 what shall

00:16:09.740 --> 00:16:10.100
 I do

00:16:10.100 --> 00:16:12.120
 ask the

00:16:12.120 --> 00:16:12.600
 father to

00:16:12.600 --> 00:16:13.000
 save me

00:16:13.000 --> 00:16:13.560
 to rescue

00:16:13.560 --> 00:16:13.960
 me from

00:16:13.960 --> 00:16:14.440
 this hour

00:16:14.440 --> 00:16:15.340
 no he

00:16:15.340 --> 00:16:15.600
 says

00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:15.960
 this is

00:16:15.960 --> 00:16:16.400
 the very

00:16:16.400 --> 00:16:16.820
 purpose

00:16:16.820 --> 00:16:17.200
 for which

00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:17.780
 I came

00:16:17.780 --> 00:16:19.280
 to glorify

00:16:19.280 --> 00:16:20.260
 the father

00:16:20.260 --> 00:16:24.040
 so beautiful

00:16:24.040 --> 00:16:24.440
 isn't it

00:16:24.440 --> 00:16:24.840
 that as you

00:16:24.840 --> 00:16:25.720
 gaze upon

00:16:25.720 --> 00:16:26.300
 the cross

00:16:26.300 --> 00:16:26.960
 you gaze

00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:27.400
 upon the

00:16:27.400 --> 00:16:27.920
 glory of

00:16:27.920 --> 00:16:28.440
 the father

00:16:28.440 --> 00:16:30.940
 that is

00:16:30.940 --> 00:16:31.400
 what Jesus

00:16:31.400 --> 00:16:31.820
 came to

00:16:31.820 --> 00:16:31.980
 do

00:16:31.980 --> 00:16:32.780
 he came

00:16:32.780 --> 00:16:33.620
 and found

00:16:33.620 --> 00:16:34.419
 his glory

00:16:34.419 --> 00:16:34.860
 in the

00:16:34.860 --> 00:16:35.200
 cross

00:16:35.200 --> 00:16:35.759
 and he

00:16:35.759 --> 00:16:36.139
 found the

00:16:36.139 --> 00:16:36.659
 glory of

00:16:36.659 --> 00:16:37.240
 the father

00:16:37.240 --> 00:16:37.720
 in the

00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:38.159
 cross

00:16:38.159 --> 00:16:39.620
 you say

00:16:39.620 --> 00:16:40.060
 again

00:16:40.060 --> 00:16:40.779
 you may be

00:16:40.779 --> 00:16:41.379
 new here

00:16:41.379 --> 00:16:41.600
 and you

00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:41.759
 think

00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:42.259
 what is

00:16:42.259 --> 00:16:42.980
 going on

00:16:42.980 --> 00:16:43.560
 how can

00:16:43.560 --> 00:16:44.240
 the father

00:16:44.240 --> 00:16:45.879
 be glorified

00:16:45.879 --> 00:16:46.740
 by his

00:16:46.740 --> 00:16:47.419
 son being

00:16:47.419 --> 00:16:48.200
 slaughtered

00:16:48.200 --> 00:16:48.480
 on a

00:16:48.480 --> 00:16:49.220
 Roman cross

00:16:49.220 --> 00:16:50.860
 why would

00:16:50.860 --> 00:16:51.639
 the father

00:16:51.639 --> 00:16:53.320
 be pleased

00:16:53.320 --> 00:16:53.659
 with his

00:16:53.659 --> 00:16:54.600
 son dying

00:16:54.600 --> 00:16:55.320
 on the

00:16:55.320 --> 00:16:55.720
 cross

00:16:55.720 --> 00:16:56.919
 how on

00:16:56.919 --> 00:16:57.299
 earth does

00:16:57.299 --> 00:16:57.759
 that work

00:16:57.759 --> 00:16:58.259
 why

00:16:58.259 --> 00:17:00.000
 well here

00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:00.419
 is why

00:17:00.419 --> 00:17:02.240
 the apostles

00:17:02.240 --> 00:17:02.680
 of Jesus

00:17:02.680 --> 00:17:03.360
 explain it

00:17:03.360 --> 00:17:03.580
 to us

00:17:03.580 --> 00:17:03.940
 later in

00:17:03.940 --> 00:17:04.440
 the epistles

00:17:04.440 --> 00:17:05.140
 particularly

00:17:05.140 --> 00:17:05.360
 if you

00:17:05.360 --> 00:17:05.599
 look at

00:17:05.599 --> 00:17:05.880
 Romans

00:17:05.880 --> 00:17:06.319
 3

00:17:06.319 --> 00:17:08.519
 where Paul

00:17:08.519 --> 00:17:08.900
 says that

00:17:08.900 --> 00:17:09.220
 none of

00:17:09.220 --> 00:17:09.339
 us

00:17:09.339 --> 00:17:09.819
 none of

00:17:09.819 --> 00:17:10.099
 you can

00:17:10.099 --> 00:17:10.519
 earn your

00:17:10.519 --> 00:17:10.839
 way into

00:17:10.839 --> 00:17:11.200
 heaven

00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:12.299
 there's not

00:17:12.299 --> 00:17:12.700
 a person

00:17:12.700 --> 00:17:12.860
 here

00:17:12.860 --> 00:17:13.160
 even

00:17:13.160 --> 00:17:13.759
 Moses

00:17:13.759 --> 00:17:15.160
 can take

00:17:15.160 --> 00:17:15.599
 the law

00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:16.120
 and apply

00:17:16.120 --> 00:17:16.819
 it perfectly

00:17:16.819 --> 00:17:17.200
 to his

00:17:17.200 --> 00:17:17.579
 life

00:17:17.579 --> 00:17:18.319
 and thereby

00:17:18.319 --> 00:17:19.059
 achieve

00:17:19.059 --> 00:17:19.420
 admission

00:17:19.420 --> 00:17:20.019
 into heaven

00:17:20.019 --> 00:17:22.000
 he says

00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:22.360
 the law

00:17:22.360 --> 00:17:22.740
 of God

00:17:22.740 --> 00:17:23.059
 shuts

00:17:23.059 --> 00:17:23.599
 every

00:17:23.599 --> 00:17:24.099
 mouth

00:17:24.099 --> 00:17:24.680
 but then

00:17:24.680 --> 00:17:25.000
 he says

00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:25.380
 in Romans

00:17:25.380 --> 00:17:25.680
 3

00:17:25.680 --> 00:17:26.140
 21

00:17:26.140 --> 00:17:27.000
 now

00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:27.279
 a

00:17:27.279 --> 00:17:27.720
 righteousness

00:17:27.720 --> 00:17:28.480
 a justification

00:17:28.480 --> 00:17:29.640
 from God

00:17:29.640 --> 00:17:30.200
 is revealed

00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:30.720
 to us

00:17:30.720 --> 00:17:31.519
 and what

00:17:31.519 --> 00:17:31.900
 is that

00:17:31.900 --> 00:17:32.380
 righteousness

00:17:32.380 --> 00:17:33.099
 what is that

00:17:33.099 --> 00:17:33.620
 justification

00:17:33.620 --> 00:17:36.279
 it is the

00:17:36.279 --> 00:17:36.880
 admission that

00:17:36.880 --> 00:17:37.160
 we are

00:17:37.160 --> 00:17:38.140
 received into

00:17:38.140 --> 00:17:38.480
 heaven

00:17:38.480 --> 00:17:39.880
 simply by

00:17:39.880 --> 00:17:40.460
 putting our

00:17:40.460 --> 00:17:41.259
 trust in

00:17:41.259 --> 00:17:42.140
 Jesus Christ

00:17:42.140 --> 00:17:43.680
 who died for

00:17:43.680 --> 00:17:43.920
 us at

00:17:43.920 --> 00:17:44.360
 Calvary

00:17:44.360 --> 00:17:46.259
 and by

00:17:46.259 --> 00:17:47.460
 his shed

00:17:47.460 --> 00:17:47.980
 bled

00:17:47.980 --> 00:17:49.220
 we are

00:17:49.220 --> 00:17:49.620
 forgiven

00:17:49.620 --> 00:17:50.539
 our sins

00:17:50.539 --> 00:17:51.480
 and we

00:17:51.480 --> 00:17:52.259
 receive a

00:17:52.259 --> 00:17:52.779
 righteousness

00:17:52.779 --> 00:17:53.759
 from him

00:17:53.759 --> 00:17:55.039
 that is

00:17:55.039 --> 00:17:55.460
 acceptable

00:17:55.460 --> 00:17:56.299
 before God

00:17:56.299 --> 00:17:58.519
 Paul goes

00:17:58.519 --> 00:17:59.039
 on to explain

00:17:59.039 --> 00:17:59.879
 in verse 25

00:17:59.879 --> 00:18:00.220
 of Romans

00:18:00.220 --> 00:18:00.559
 3

00:18:00.559 --> 00:18:01.259
 here the

00:18:01.259 --> 00:18:01.839
 justice of

00:18:01.839 --> 00:18:02.180
 God is

00:18:02.180 --> 00:18:03.039
 satisfied

00:18:03.039 --> 00:18:03.599
 on the

00:18:03.599 --> 00:18:04.240
 one hand

00:18:04.240 --> 00:18:06.119
 and on the

00:18:06.119 --> 00:18:06.460
 other hand

00:18:06.460 --> 00:18:06.839
 the love

00:18:06.839 --> 00:18:07.160
 of God

00:18:07.160 --> 00:18:07.720
 is satisfied

00:18:07.720 --> 00:18:09.920
 God

00:18:09.920 --> 00:18:10.539
 loved

00:18:10.539 --> 00:18:11.420
 sinners

00:18:11.420 --> 00:18:13.539
 but how

00:18:13.539 --> 00:18:13.779
 in the

00:18:13.779 --> 00:18:14.099
 world

00:18:14.099 --> 00:18:14.379
 will he

00:18:14.379 --> 00:18:14.720
 get you

00:18:14.720 --> 00:18:14.900
 into

00:18:14.900 --> 00:18:15.180
 heaven

00:18:15.180 --> 00:18:17.420
 God

00:18:17.420 --> 00:18:17.779
 has already

00:18:17.779 --> 00:18:18.099
 said

00:18:18.099 --> 00:18:19.220
 surely

00:18:19.220 --> 00:18:19.799
 the soul

00:18:19.799 --> 00:18:20.779
 that sins

00:18:20.779 --> 00:18:22.119
 well it

00:18:22.119 --> 00:18:22.279
 shall

00:18:22.279 --> 00:18:22.579
 surely

00:18:22.579 --> 00:18:22.980
 die

00:18:22.980 --> 00:18:24.420
 God

00:18:24.420 --> 00:18:24.740
 has already

00:18:24.740 --> 00:18:25.160
 said the

00:18:25.160 --> 00:18:25.660
 wages of

00:18:25.660 --> 00:18:26.099
 sin is

00:18:26.099 --> 00:18:26.660
 death

00:18:26.660 --> 00:18:27.259
 how in

00:18:27.259 --> 00:18:27.640
 the world

00:18:27.640 --> 00:18:28.079
 can God

00:18:28.079 --> 00:18:28.440
 be a

00:18:28.440 --> 00:18:28.839
 just

00:18:28.839 --> 00:18:29.420
 judge

00:18:29.420 --> 00:18:29.799
 and also

00:18:29.799 --> 00:18:30.259
 allow you

00:18:30.259 --> 00:18:30.500
 and me

00:18:30.500 --> 00:18:31.059
 into heaven

00:18:31.059 --> 00:18:33.440
 well because

00:18:33.440 --> 00:18:33.819
 he sends

00:18:33.819 --> 00:18:34.180
 his only

00:18:34.180 --> 00:18:34.519
 son

00:18:34.519 --> 00:18:36.099
 to take

00:18:36.099 --> 00:18:36.500
 on human

00:18:36.500 --> 00:18:37.000
 flesh

00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:38.680
 to live a

00:18:38.680 --> 00:18:39.259
 perfect life

00:18:39.259 --> 00:18:39.640
 in our

00:18:39.640 --> 00:18:40.039
 place

00:18:40.039 --> 00:18:41.799
 and then to

00:18:41.799 --> 00:18:42.140
 die a

00:18:42.140 --> 00:18:42.700
 perfect death

00:18:42.700 --> 00:18:42.960
 in our

00:18:42.960 --> 00:18:43.140
 place

00:18:43.140 --> 00:18:43.480
 so that

00:18:43.480 --> 00:18:43.940
 the justice

00:18:43.940 --> 00:18:44.299
 of God

00:18:44.299 --> 00:18:44.880
 is truly

00:18:44.880 --> 00:18:45.740
 satisfied

00:18:45.740 --> 00:18:50.440
 in Jesus

00:18:50.440 --> 00:18:50.900
 Christ

00:18:50.900 --> 00:18:52.700
 that's the

00:18:52.700 --> 00:18:53.100
 reason why

00:18:53.100 --> 00:18:53.360
 John

00:18:53.360 --> 00:18:53.759
 gives

00:18:53.759 --> 00:18:55.819
 that God

00:18:55.819 --> 00:18:56.400
 is faithful

00:18:56.400 --> 00:18:57.100
 and just

00:18:57.100 --> 00:18:57.420
 and he

00:18:57.420 --> 00:18:57.819
 will forgive

00:18:57.819 --> 00:18:58.240
 us our

00:18:58.240 --> 00:18:58.680
 sins

00:18:58.680 --> 00:19:01.380
 that if

00:19:01.380 --> 00:19:01.580
 you've

00:19:01.580 --> 00:19:02.000
 trusted in

00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:02.259
 the Lord

00:19:02.259 --> 00:19:02.500
 Jesus

00:19:02.500 --> 00:19:02.920
 Christ

00:19:02.920 --> 00:19:03.340
 today

00:19:03.340 --> 00:19:04.440
 for God

00:19:04.440 --> 00:19:05.000
 not to

00:19:05.000 --> 00:19:05.519
 forgive your

00:19:05.519 --> 00:19:05.980
 sins would

00:19:05.980 --> 00:19:06.259
 be a

00:19:06.259 --> 00:19:06.940
 violation of

00:19:06.940 --> 00:19:07.460
 his justice

00:19:07.460 --> 00:19:09.559
 because the

00:19:09.559 --> 00:19:10.019
 sin has been

00:19:10.019 --> 00:19:10.860
 paid for by

00:19:10.860 --> 00:19:11.440
 the blood of

00:19:11.440 --> 00:19:12.259
 Jesus and

00:19:12.259 --> 00:19:12.720
 therefore it

00:19:12.720 --> 00:19:13.519
 is only just

00:19:13.519 --> 00:19:13.880
 that the

00:19:13.880 --> 00:19:14.460
 judge should

00:19:14.460 --> 00:19:14.880
 set us

00:19:14.880 --> 00:19:15.180
 free

00:19:15.180 --> 00:19:17.440
 because payment

00:19:17.440 --> 00:19:18.180
 has been

00:19:18.180 --> 00:19:18.960
 made

00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:21.299
 justice has

00:19:21.299 --> 00:19:21.880
 been completely

00:19:21.880 --> 00:19:22.440
 satisfied

00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:24.579
 and that is

00:19:24.579 --> 00:19:25.160
 what allows

00:19:25.160 --> 00:19:25.559
 him to

00:19:25.559 --> 00:19:26.380
 satisfy the

00:19:26.380 --> 00:19:26.960
 loins of

00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:27.340
 his love

00:19:27.340 --> 00:19:27.600
 for us

00:19:27.600 --> 00:19:28.100
 so that

00:19:28.100 --> 00:19:28.380
 when the

00:19:28.380 --> 00:19:28.819
 Lord Jesus

00:19:28.819 --> 00:19:29.400
 comes and

00:19:29.400 --> 00:19:30.140
 he willingly

00:19:30.140 --> 00:19:30.980
 lays down

00:19:30.980 --> 00:19:31.720
 his life

00:19:31.720 --> 00:19:32.519
 he is

00:19:32.519 --> 00:19:33.519
 exalting the

00:19:33.519 --> 00:19:34.480
 justice of

00:19:34.480 --> 00:19:34.900
 God

00:19:34.900 --> 00:19:35.759
 and he is

00:19:35.759 --> 00:19:36.460
 exalting the

00:19:36.460 --> 00:19:36.920
 love of

00:19:36.920 --> 00:19:37.319
 God

00:19:37.319 --> 00:19:38.860
 in a way

00:19:38.860 --> 00:19:39.340
 that never

00:19:39.340 --> 00:19:39.940
 has been

00:19:39.940 --> 00:19:40.279
 done and

00:19:40.279 --> 00:19:40.740
 never will

00:19:40.740 --> 00:19:41.220
 be done

00:19:41.220 --> 00:19:43.559
 but Jesus

00:19:43.559 --> 00:19:43.960
 goes on

00:19:43.960 --> 00:19:44.140
 look at

00:19:44.140 --> 00:19:44.640
 verse 31

00:19:44.640 --> 00:19:46.420
 it's not

00:19:46.420 --> 00:19:46.720
 just that

00:19:46.720 --> 00:19:46.980
 the son

00:19:46.980 --> 00:19:47.500
 of man

00:19:47.500 --> 00:19:49.380
 is glorified

00:19:49.380 --> 00:19:49.860
 and that

00:19:49.860 --> 00:19:50.520
 the father

00:19:50.520 --> 00:19:51.259
 is glorified

00:19:51.259 --> 00:19:51.860
 but he

00:19:51.860 --> 00:19:52.180
 will not

00:19:52.180 --> 00:19:52.740
 be distracted

00:19:52.740 --> 00:19:54.140
 because the

00:19:54.140 --> 00:19:54.700
 conviction of

00:19:54.700 --> 00:19:55.060
 the world

00:19:55.060 --> 00:19:56.420
 look at

00:19:56.420 --> 00:19:56.940
 verse 31

00:19:56.940 --> 00:19:58.160
 now is the

00:19:58.160 --> 00:19:58.500
 judgment of

00:19:58.500 --> 00:19:58.900
 the world

00:19:58.900 --> 00:20:00.960
 the judgment

00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:01.560
 of the world

00:20:01.560 --> 00:20:03.540
 all of this

00:20:03.540 --> 00:20:04.000
 world with all

00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:04.600
 its violence

00:20:04.600 --> 00:20:04.960
 and all its

00:20:04.960 --> 00:20:05.600
 pride and all

00:20:05.600 --> 00:20:06.280
 its greed and

00:20:06.280 --> 00:20:06.800
 all its social

00:20:06.800 --> 00:20:08.360
 injustices and

00:20:08.360 --> 00:20:09.200
 all its racism

00:20:09.200 --> 00:20:09.980
 and all its

00:20:09.980 --> 00:20:10.740
 pride and all

00:20:10.740 --> 00:20:11.440
 its immorality

00:20:11.440 --> 00:20:12.440
 all of it at

00:20:12.440 --> 00:20:13.060
 the cross is

00:20:13.060 --> 00:20:13.840
 completely judged

00:20:13.840 --> 00:20:14.500
 and condemned

00:20:14.500 --> 00:20:17.660
 so that in

00:20:17.660 --> 00:20:18.480
 due time

00:20:18.480 --> 00:20:19.279
 we his people

00:20:19.279 --> 00:20:19.660
 shall be

00:20:19.660 --> 00:20:20.299
 delivered from

00:20:20.299 --> 00:20:21.000
 it

00:20:21.000 --> 00:20:24.420
 though it

00:20:24.420 --> 00:20:24.759
 looks like

00:20:24.759 --> 00:20:25.119
 doesn't it

00:20:25.119 --> 00:20:25.339
 to the

00:20:25.339 --> 00:20:25.839
 uneducated

00:20:25.839 --> 00:20:26.480
 human eye

00:20:26.480 --> 00:20:28.000
 that the

00:20:28.000 --> 00:20:28.880
 greatest act

00:20:28.880 --> 00:20:29.519
 of injustice

00:20:29.519 --> 00:20:31.660
 is performed

00:20:31.660 --> 00:20:32.319
 against Jesus

00:20:32.319 --> 00:20:33.019
 Christ at the

00:20:33.019 --> 00:20:33.279
 cross

00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:33.819
 doesn't it

00:20:33.819 --> 00:20:35.539
 that the

00:20:35.539 --> 00:20:36.119
 most innocent

00:20:36.119 --> 00:20:36.440
 and most

00:20:36.440 --> 00:20:37.099
 beautiful man

00:20:37.099 --> 00:20:37.440
 that ever

00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:37.799
 lived

00:20:37.799 --> 00:20:39.599
 and here you

00:20:39.599 --> 00:20:39.799
 have the

00:20:39.799 --> 00:20:40.220
 political

00:20:40.220 --> 00:20:40.839
 authorities

00:20:40.839 --> 00:20:41.400
 the religious

00:20:41.400 --> 00:20:41.980
 authorities

00:20:41.980 --> 00:20:42.539
 putting him

00:20:42.539 --> 00:20:43.039
 to death

00:20:43.039 --> 00:20:43.799
 it looks like

00:20:43.799 --> 00:20:44.319
 the death

00:20:44.319 --> 00:20:44.799
 now for

00:20:44.799 --> 00:20:45.359
 justice

00:20:45.359 --> 00:20:47.359
 but what

00:20:47.359 --> 00:20:47.980
 Jesus is

00:20:47.980 --> 00:20:48.779
 teaching us

00:20:48.779 --> 00:20:50.319
 before he

00:20:50.319 --> 00:20:50.700
 goes to

00:20:50.700 --> 00:20:51.299
 the cross

00:20:51.299 --> 00:20:53.279
 the reason

00:20:53.279 --> 00:20:53.639
 he was

00:20:53.639 --> 00:20:54.279
 determined to

00:20:54.279 --> 00:20:54.659
 go to the

00:20:54.659 --> 00:20:54.919
 cross

00:20:54.919 --> 00:20:55.599
 he knows

00:20:55.599 --> 00:20:55.859
 that when

00:20:55.859 --> 00:20:56.299
 he goes

00:20:56.299 --> 00:20:56.599
 to that

00:20:56.599 --> 00:20:56.980
 cross

00:20:56.980 --> 00:20:57.619
 he shall

00:20:57.619 --> 00:20:58.000
 put to

00:20:58.000 --> 00:20:58.440
 death

00:20:58.440 --> 00:20:58.940
 all of the

00:20:58.940 --> 00:20:59.519
 injustices

00:20:59.519 --> 00:21:00.180
 in the world

00:21:00.180 --> 00:21:02.700
 and all the

00:21:02.700 --> 00:21:03.480
 sin privately

00:21:03.480 --> 00:21:04.059
 and socially

00:21:04.059 --> 00:21:04.599
 he shall put

00:21:04.599 --> 00:21:05.039
 it all to

00:21:05.039 --> 00:21:05.359
 death

00:21:05.359 --> 00:21:05.799
 at the cross

00:21:05.799 --> 00:21:06.359
 of Calvary

00:21:06.359 --> 00:21:07.700
 he has

00:21:07.700 --> 00:21:08.319
 cleansed the

00:21:08.319 --> 00:21:08.579
 world

00:21:08.579 --> 00:21:09.000
 we can say

00:21:09.000 --> 00:21:09.279
 that

00:21:09.279 --> 00:21:11.099
 we're

00:21:11.099 --> 00:21:11.420
 on our

00:21:11.420 --> 00:21:11.740
 way to

00:21:11.740 --> 00:21:12.200
 that day

00:21:12.200 --> 00:21:12.700
 of judgment

00:21:12.700 --> 00:21:14.859
 on that

00:21:14.859 --> 00:21:15.480
 day

00:21:15.480 --> 00:21:16.500
 now it's

00:21:16.500 --> 00:21:16.759
 just a

00:21:16.759 --> 00:21:17.160
 mopping up

00:21:17.160 --> 00:21:17.619
 operation

00:21:17.619 --> 00:21:19.240
 because of

00:21:19.240 --> 00:21:19.559
 the work

00:21:19.559 --> 00:21:20.099
 of Calvary

00:21:20.099 --> 00:21:20.879
 Jesus would

00:21:20.879 --> 00:21:21.279
 not be

00:21:21.279 --> 00:21:21.740
 deterred

00:21:21.740 --> 00:21:22.059
 from the

00:21:22.059 --> 00:21:22.480
 cross

00:21:22.480 --> 00:21:23.339
 no matter

00:21:23.339 --> 00:21:23.639
 what the

00:21:23.639 --> 00:21:23.879
 crowds

00:21:23.879 --> 00:21:24.379
 wanted him

00:21:24.379 --> 00:21:24.759
 to do

00:21:24.759 --> 00:21:26.059
 no matter

00:21:26.059 --> 00:21:26.339
 what the

00:21:26.339 --> 00:21:26.660
 clergy

00:21:26.660 --> 00:21:27.160
 wanted him

00:21:27.160 --> 00:21:27.599
 to do

00:21:27.599 --> 00:21:28.700
 no matter

00:21:28.700 --> 00:21:29.059
 what the

00:21:29.059 --> 00:21:29.940
 curious

00:21:29.940 --> 00:21:30.539
 wanted him

00:21:30.539 --> 00:21:30.920
 to do

00:21:30.920 --> 00:21:32.599
 he's going

00:21:32.599 --> 00:21:33.039
 straight

00:21:33.039 --> 00:21:33.599
 to the

00:21:33.599 --> 00:21:34.019
 cross

00:21:34.019 --> 00:21:35.079
 for the

00:21:35.079 --> 00:21:35.379
 sake

00:21:35.379 --> 00:21:35.720
 of the

00:21:35.720 --> 00:21:36.059
 world

00:21:36.059 --> 00:21:36.539
 that he

00:21:36.539 --> 00:21:36.940
 loves

00:21:36.940 --> 00:21:39.080
 notice

00:21:39.080 --> 00:21:39.360
 there's a

00:21:39.360 --> 00:21:39.779
 fourth thing

00:21:39.779 --> 00:21:40.059
 in verse

00:21:40.059 --> 00:21:40.480
 31

00:21:40.480 --> 00:21:40.880
 there's a

00:21:40.880 --> 00:21:41.480
 fourth reason

00:21:41.480 --> 00:21:42.299
 that because

00:21:42.299 --> 00:21:42.539
 of the

00:21:42.539 --> 00:21:42.820
 cross

00:21:42.820 --> 00:21:43.160
 Satan

00:21:43.160 --> 00:21:43.820
 is finally

00:21:43.820 --> 00:21:44.320
 defeated

00:21:44.320 --> 00:21:44.680
 do you see

00:21:44.680 --> 00:21:45.019
 that verse

00:21:45.019 --> 00:21:45.400
 31

00:21:45.400 --> 00:21:45.940
 the ruler

00:21:45.940 --> 00:21:46.340
 of this

00:21:46.340 --> 00:21:46.700
 world

00:21:46.700 --> 00:21:47.539
 is cast

00:21:47.539 --> 00:21:47.900
 out

00:21:47.900 --> 00:21:50.160
 you might

00:21:50.160 --> 00:21:50.259
 think

00:21:50.259 --> 00:21:50.840
 that's a

00:21:50.840 --> 00:21:51.259
 funny thing

00:21:51.259 --> 00:21:51.500
 isn't it

00:21:51.500 --> 00:21:52.180
 I see

00:21:52.180 --> 00:21:52.620
 Satan

00:21:52.620 --> 00:21:53.059
 and his

00:21:53.059 --> 00:21:53.440
 work

00:21:53.440 --> 00:21:54.180
 and his

00:21:54.180 --> 00:21:55.180
 pawprits

00:21:55.180 --> 00:21:55.840
 all over

00:21:55.840 --> 00:21:56.380
 the world

00:21:56.380 --> 00:21:59.980
 I see him

00:21:59.980 --> 00:22:00.460
 running free

00:22:00.460 --> 00:22:00.860
 but he is

00:22:00.860 --> 00:22:01.279
 not running

00:22:01.279 --> 00:22:01.600
 free

00:22:01.600 --> 00:22:03.279
 he's been

00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:03.720
 condemned

00:22:03.720 --> 00:22:04.220
 he's been

00:22:04.220 --> 00:22:04.779
 contained

00:22:04.779 --> 00:22:06.299
 he's on

00:22:06.299 --> 00:22:06.840
 a chain

00:22:06.839 --> 00:22:08.179
 I

00:22:08.179 --> 00:22:08.539
 granted

00:22:08.539 --> 00:22:08.879
 it's a

00:22:08.879 --> 00:22:09.119
 long

00:22:09.119 --> 00:22:09.599
 chain

00:22:09.599 --> 00:22:11.279
 he's

00:22:11.279 --> 00:22:11.659
 very

00:22:11.659 --> 00:22:12.000
 angry

00:22:12.000 --> 00:22:12.179
 the

00:22:12.179 --> 00:22:12.399
 bible

00:22:12.399 --> 00:22:12.799
 says

00:22:12.799 --> 00:22:13.339
 but the

00:22:13.339 --> 00:22:13.599
 reason

00:22:13.599 --> 00:22:13.919
 why the

00:22:13.919 --> 00:22:14.119
 devil

00:22:14.119 --> 00:22:14.599
 is very

00:22:14.599 --> 00:22:14.919
 angry

00:22:14.919 --> 00:22:15.279
 is because

00:22:15.279 --> 00:22:15.679
 his days

00:22:15.679 --> 00:22:16.099
 are numbered

00:22:16.099 --> 00:22:18.399
 his days

00:22:18.399 --> 00:22:18.799
 are numbered

00:22:18.799 --> 00:22:20.779
 and his

00:22:20.779 --> 00:22:21.039
 kingdom

00:22:21.039 --> 00:22:21.559
 has ended

00:22:21.559 --> 00:22:22.240
 his kingdom

00:22:22.240 --> 00:22:22.720
 ended when

00:22:22.720 --> 00:22:23.019
 the lord

00:22:23.019 --> 00:22:23.299
 jesus

00:22:23.299 --> 00:22:23.659
 christ

00:22:23.659 --> 00:22:24.059
 died on

00:22:24.059 --> 00:22:24.399
 the cross

00:22:24.399 --> 00:22:25.019
 at calvary

00:22:25.019 --> 00:22:25.759
 and once

00:22:25.759 --> 00:22:26.179
 again it

00:22:26.179 --> 00:22:26.500
 looks

00:22:26.500 --> 00:22:26.839
 doesn't it

00:22:26.839 --> 00:22:27.039
 to the

00:22:27.039 --> 00:22:27.519
 uninformed

00:22:27.519 --> 00:22:28.139
 human eye

00:22:28.139 --> 00:22:28.779
 that here

00:22:28.779 --> 00:22:29.079
 was a

00:22:29.079 --> 00:22:29.519
 triumph

00:22:29.519 --> 00:22:29.959
 on good

00:22:29.959 --> 00:22:30.379
 friday

00:22:30.379 --> 00:22:31.259
 the triumph

00:22:31.259 --> 00:22:31.720
 for all

00:22:31.720 --> 00:22:32.299
 evil

00:22:32.299 --> 00:22:34.199
 here was a

00:22:34.199 --> 00:22:34.559
 triumph for

00:22:34.559 --> 00:22:35.220
 evil religion

00:22:35.220 --> 00:22:35.639
 and evil

00:22:35.639 --> 00:22:36.299
 politics

00:22:36.299 --> 00:22:37.059
 because they

00:22:37.059 --> 00:22:37.419
 took the

00:22:37.419 --> 00:22:37.680
 one who

00:22:37.680 --> 00:22:38.319
 was proclaiming

00:22:38.319 --> 00:22:38.720
 the kingdom

00:22:38.720 --> 00:22:39.299
 of god

00:22:39.299 --> 00:22:40.339
 they stripped

00:22:40.339 --> 00:22:40.899
 him naked

00:22:40.899 --> 00:22:41.700
 they put

00:22:41.700 --> 00:22:42.279
 nails in

00:22:42.279 --> 00:22:42.740
 his hands

00:22:42.740 --> 00:22:43.159
 and nails

00:22:43.159 --> 00:22:43.779
 in his feet

00:22:43.779 --> 00:22:44.700
 and a sword

00:22:44.700 --> 00:22:45.419
 into his side

00:22:45.419 --> 00:22:45.940
 until he took

00:22:45.940 --> 00:22:46.740
 his last breath

00:22:46.740 --> 00:22:47.579
 and it looked

00:22:47.579 --> 00:22:48.019
 as though they

00:22:48.019 --> 00:22:48.379
 had conquered

00:22:48.379 --> 00:22:48.740
 him

00:22:48.740 --> 00:22:51.839
 and here is what

00:22:51.839 --> 00:22:52.480
 jesus is teaching

00:22:52.480 --> 00:22:52.779
 them

00:22:52.779 --> 00:22:54.559
 that this is one of the

00:22:54.559 --> 00:22:55.740
 great ironies of the

00:22:55.740 --> 00:22:56.240
 cosmos

00:22:56.240 --> 00:22:57.680
 that what happened

00:22:57.680 --> 00:22:57.980
 to be

00:22:57.980 --> 00:22:58.819
 what seemed to be

00:22:58.819 --> 00:22:59.399
 happening at the

00:22:59.399 --> 00:23:00.079
 cross was the

00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:00.919
 defeat of all

00:23:00.919 --> 00:23:01.799
 good and all

00:23:01.799 --> 00:23:02.579
 righteousness was

00:23:02.579 --> 00:23:03.240
 actually the

00:23:03.240 --> 00:23:03.579
 opposite

00:23:03.579 --> 00:23:06.819
 what happens

00:23:06.819 --> 00:23:07.259
 at the cross

00:23:07.259 --> 00:23:07.740
 according to

00:23:07.740 --> 00:23:08.179
 paul in

00:23:08.179 --> 00:23:09.039
 colossians 2

00:23:09.039 --> 00:23:10.159
 is that the

00:23:10.159 --> 00:23:11.019
 principalities

00:23:11.019 --> 00:23:11.980
 and the powers

00:23:11.980 --> 00:23:12.819
 were put up

00:23:12.819 --> 00:23:13.279
 to public

00:23:13.279 --> 00:23:13.740
 shame

00:23:13.740 --> 00:23:15.539
 and christ

00:23:15.539 --> 00:23:16.599
 triumphed over

00:23:16.599 --> 00:23:17.059
 them by the

00:23:17.059 --> 00:23:17.480
 cross

00:23:17.480 --> 00:23:18.579
 the cross

00:23:18.579 --> 00:23:19.659
 defeated all

00:23:19.659 --> 00:23:20.339
 of satan

00:23:20.339 --> 00:23:21.220
 and all his

00:23:21.220 --> 00:23:21.740
 legion of

00:23:21.740 --> 00:23:22.039
 demons

00:23:22.039 --> 00:23:22.639
 they were

00:23:22.639 --> 00:23:23.079
 destroyed

00:23:23.079 --> 00:23:23.480
 there and

00:23:23.480 --> 00:23:23.779
 then

00:23:23.779 --> 00:23:26.679
 and they

00:23:26.679 --> 00:23:27.179
 know when the

00:23:27.179 --> 00:23:27.819
 final day is

00:23:27.819 --> 00:23:28.099
 coming

00:23:28.099 --> 00:23:28.859
 and so they're

00:23:28.859 --> 00:23:29.240
 angry

00:23:29.240 --> 00:23:31.380
 cleaning up

00:23:31.380 --> 00:23:31.920
 operation is

00:23:31.920 --> 00:23:32.359
 just around

00:23:32.359 --> 00:23:32.839
 the corner

00:23:32.839 --> 00:23:33.880
 and when

00:23:33.880 --> 00:23:35.220
 jesus returns

00:23:35.220 --> 00:23:36.660
 that defeat

00:23:36.660 --> 00:23:37.299
 will be seen

00:23:37.299 --> 00:23:41.599
 jesus would

00:23:41.599 --> 00:23:41.900
 not be

00:23:41.900 --> 00:23:42.420
 deterred from

00:23:42.420 --> 00:23:42.799
 the cross

00:23:42.799 --> 00:23:43.220
 because he

00:23:43.220 --> 00:23:43.720
 knew that

00:23:43.720 --> 00:23:43.920
 when he

00:23:43.920 --> 00:23:44.220
 went to

00:23:44.220 --> 00:23:44.579
 the cross

00:23:44.579 --> 00:23:44.920
 he and

00:23:44.920 --> 00:23:45.319
 the devil

00:23:45.319 --> 00:23:45.980
 knew that

00:23:45.980 --> 00:23:46.200
 that was

00:23:46.200 --> 00:23:46.480
 the end

00:23:46.480 --> 00:23:46.680
 of the

00:23:46.680 --> 00:23:47.019
 kingdom

00:23:47.019 --> 00:23:49.940
 fifthly

00:23:49.940 --> 00:23:51.920
 what compelled

00:23:51.920 --> 00:23:52.620
 jesus to the

00:23:52.620 --> 00:23:53.519
 cross above

00:23:53.519 --> 00:23:54.220
 all things

00:23:54.220 --> 00:23:54.759
 was the

00:23:54.759 --> 00:23:55.400
 salvation of

00:23:55.400 --> 00:23:55.859
 his people

00:23:55.859 --> 00:23:56.220
 look at

00:23:56.220 --> 00:23:57.000
 verses 32

00:23:57.000 --> 00:23:57.660
 and 33

00:23:57.660 --> 00:24:00.120
 and when

00:24:00.120 --> 00:24:00.500
 i'm lifted

00:24:00.500 --> 00:24:00.800
 up from

00:24:00.800 --> 00:24:01.259
 the earth

00:24:01.259 --> 00:24:02.980
 will draw

00:24:02.980 --> 00:24:03.720
 all people

00:24:03.720 --> 00:24:04.460
 to myself

00:24:04.460 --> 00:24:07.800
 so again

00:24:07.800 --> 00:24:08.120
 you read

00:24:08.120 --> 00:24:08.540
 through john's

00:24:08.540 --> 00:24:08.940
 gospel and

00:24:08.940 --> 00:24:09.200
 the terms

00:24:09.200 --> 00:24:09.600
 keep coming

00:24:09.600 --> 00:24:09.840
 up

00:24:09.840 --> 00:24:10.500
 so lifted

00:24:10.500 --> 00:24:10.840
 up

00:24:10.840 --> 00:24:12.140
 john chapter

00:24:12.140 --> 00:24:12.500
 3

00:24:12.500 --> 00:24:14.220
 john chapter

00:24:14.220 --> 00:24:14.540
 8

00:24:14.540 --> 00:24:18.500
 was used

00:24:18.500 --> 00:24:18.980
 to describe

00:24:18.980 --> 00:24:19.500
 jesus being

00:24:19.500 --> 00:24:19.940
 lifted up

00:24:19.940 --> 00:24:20.460
 just as a

00:24:20.460 --> 00:24:20.940
 serpent was

00:24:20.940 --> 00:24:21.360
 lifted up

00:24:21.360 --> 00:24:21.560
 in the

00:24:21.560 --> 00:24:21.880
 wilderness

00:24:21.880 --> 00:24:22.960
 so i will

00:24:22.960 --> 00:24:23.340
 be lifted

00:24:23.340 --> 00:24:23.660
 up

00:24:23.660 --> 00:24:26.140
 this verse

00:24:26.140 --> 00:24:26.500
 should not

00:24:26.500 --> 00:24:26.880
 be we're

00:24:26.880 --> 00:24:27.080
 going to

00:24:27.080 --> 00:24:27.600
 lift jesus

00:24:27.599 --> 00:24:27.959
 up in

00:24:27.959 --> 00:24:28.399
 praise

00:24:28.399 --> 00:24:28.719
 no

00:24:28.719 --> 00:24:31.379
 he doesn't

00:24:31.379 --> 00:24:31.779
 mean lifted

00:24:31.779 --> 00:24:32.179
 up on the

00:24:32.179 --> 00:24:32.679
 final day

00:24:32.679 --> 00:24:33.000
 when his

00:24:33.000 --> 00:24:33.459
 throne will

00:24:33.459 --> 00:24:33.779
 be given

00:24:33.779 --> 00:24:34.199
 to him

00:24:34.199 --> 00:24:34.759
 and he

00:24:34.759 --> 00:24:35.259
 is exalted

00:24:35.259 --> 00:24:35.619
 no he's

00:24:35.619 --> 00:24:36.019
 talking about

00:24:36.019 --> 00:24:36.559
 being lifted

00:24:36.559 --> 00:24:37.000
 up on a

00:24:37.000 --> 00:24:37.679
 roman cross

00:24:37.679 --> 00:24:39.899
 and he's

00:24:39.899 --> 00:24:40.299
 saying the

00:24:40.299 --> 00:24:40.879
 reason i will

00:24:40.879 --> 00:24:41.319
 be lifted

00:24:41.319 --> 00:24:43.519
 up is

00:24:43.519 --> 00:24:43.879
 because it

00:24:43.879 --> 00:24:44.119
 will be

00:24:44.119 --> 00:24:44.579
 through the

00:24:44.579 --> 00:24:46.599
 cross and

00:24:46.599 --> 00:24:47.059
 the work

00:24:47.059 --> 00:24:47.319
 that is

00:24:47.319 --> 00:24:47.859
 accomplished

00:24:47.859 --> 00:24:48.599
 there to

00:24:48.599 --> 00:24:49.199
 provide the

00:24:49.199 --> 00:24:49.599
 forgiveness

00:24:49.599 --> 00:24:50.339
 for my

00:24:50.339 --> 00:24:50.779
 people's

00:24:50.779 --> 00:24:51.119
 sins

00:24:51.119 --> 00:24:53.539
 and then

00:24:53.539 --> 00:24:53.959
 people will

00:24:53.959 --> 00:24:54.399
 be drawn

00:24:54.399 --> 00:24:55.139
 to me

00:24:55.139 --> 00:24:55.519
 from all

00:24:55.519 --> 00:24:55.879
 over the

00:24:55.879 --> 00:24:56.199
 world

00:24:56.200 --> 00:24:58.019
 so the

00:24:58.019 --> 00:24:58.420
 Greeks

00:24:58.420 --> 00:24:59.380
 and the

00:24:59.380 --> 00:24:59.740
 Romans

00:24:59.740 --> 00:25:00.360
 and the

00:25:00.360 --> 00:25:00.720
 Asians

00:25:00.720 --> 00:25:01.420
 and the

00:25:01.420 --> 00:25:01.900
 Africans

00:25:01.900 --> 00:25:03.080
 and the

00:25:03.080 --> 00:25:03.700
 Australians

00:25:03.700 --> 00:25:04.340
 and the

00:25:04.340 --> 00:25:05.059
 Austrians

00:25:05.059 --> 00:25:06.860
 and people

00:25:06.860 --> 00:25:07.059
 from

00:25:07.059 --> 00:25:07.380
 Leighton

00:25:07.380 --> 00:25:09.799
 and from

00:25:09.799 --> 00:25:10.559
 every continent

00:25:10.559 --> 00:25:11.380
 and country

00:25:11.380 --> 00:25:11.819
 in the

00:25:11.819 --> 00:25:12.279
 world

00:25:12.279 --> 00:25:13.680
 will be

00:25:13.680 --> 00:25:14.080
 drawn to

00:25:14.080 --> 00:25:14.740
 jesus christ

00:25:14.740 --> 00:25:16.880
 because they

00:25:16.880 --> 00:25:17.359
 see that the

00:25:17.359 --> 00:25:18.740
 only answer

00:25:18.740 --> 00:25:19.059
 for the

00:25:19.059 --> 00:25:19.539
 evil that

00:25:19.539 --> 00:25:19.759
 is in

00:25:19.759 --> 00:25:20.579
 their hearts

00:25:20.579 --> 00:25:22.759
 and they

00:25:22.759 --> 00:25:23.299
 understand the

00:25:23.299 --> 00:25:23.640
 problem of

00:25:23.640 --> 00:25:23.779
 evil

00:25:23.779 --> 00:25:24.079
 the problem

00:25:24.079 --> 00:25:24.420
 of evil

00:25:24.420 --> 00:25:24.720
 is not

00:25:24.720 --> 00:25:25.099
 out there

00:25:25.099 --> 00:25:25.380
 it's in

00:25:25.380 --> 00:25:25.740
 here

00:25:25.740 --> 00:25:27.660
 they understand

00:25:27.660 --> 00:25:28.279
 finally the

00:25:28.279 --> 00:25:28.700
 solution

00:25:28.700 --> 00:25:30.559
 that god has

00:25:30.559 --> 00:25:31.220
 provided the

00:25:31.220 --> 00:25:31.920
 one and only

00:25:31.920 --> 00:25:32.940
 way by placing

00:25:32.940 --> 00:25:33.880
 his own son

00:25:33.880 --> 00:25:34.420
 to die the

00:25:34.420 --> 00:25:34.980
 perfect death

00:25:34.980 --> 00:25:35.539
 on our behalf

00:25:35.539 --> 00:25:35.980
 do you see

00:25:35.980 --> 00:25:36.400
 does this

00:25:36.400 --> 00:25:37.079
 make sense

00:25:37.079 --> 00:25:40.679
 i asked that

00:25:40.679 --> 00:25:40.859
 at the

00:25:40.859 --> 00:25:41.179
 lunchtime

00:25:41.179 --> 00:25:41.599
 talks

00:25:41.599 --> 00:25:43.019
 expecting the

00:25:43.019 --> 00:25:43.359
 answer to

00:25:43.359 --> 00:25:43.699
 come back

00:25:43.699 --> 00:25:44.139
 no

00:25:44.139 --> 00:25:45.179
 no

00:25:45.179 --> 00:25:45.599
 we're here

00:25:45.599 --> 00:25:47.859
 but there is a

00:25:47.859 --> 00:25:48.079
 sense

00:25:48.079 --> 00:25:49.480
 i think as you

00:25:49.480 --> 00:25:50.079
 understand the

00:25:50.079 --> 00:25:50.559
 gospel here

00:25:50.559 --> 00:25:50.899
 there's no

00:25:50.899 --> 00:25:51.779
 paradigm for

00:25:51.779 --> 00:25:52.039
 it

00:25:52.039 --> 00:25:54.099
 it is new

00:25:54.099 --> 00:25:55.720
 it is phenomenal

00:25:55.720 --> 00:25:56.579
 it's too hard to

00:25:56.579 --> 00:25:57.119
 believe without

00:25:57.119 --> 00:25:57.480
 help

00:25:57.480 --> 00:25:59.659
 and jesus goes

00:25:59.659 --> 00:26:00.259
 on to explain

00:26:00.259 --> 00:26:00.720
 that from the

00:26:00.720 --> 00:26:01.119
 middle of verse

00:26:01.119 --> 00:26:01.799
 36 to the

00:26:01.799 --> 00:26:02.139
 end of the

00:26:02.139 --> 00:26:02.419
 chapter

00:26:02.419 --> 00:26:03.740
 jesus explains

00:26:03.740 --> 00:26:04.619
 why it is that

00:26:04.619 --> 00:26:05.159
 people don't

00:26:05.159 --> 00:26:05.619
 believe

00:26:05.619 --> 00:26:06.579
 and it's

00:26:06.579 --> 00:26:06.919
 because it

00:26:06.919 --> 00:26:07.319
 seems like

00:26:07.319 --> 00:26:08.019
 disney world

00:26:08.019 --> 00:26:09.759
 it seems like

00:26:09.759 --> 00:26:10.500
 a fairy tale

00:26:10.500 --> 00:26:11.639
 something fantastic

00:26:11.639 --> 00:26:12.599
 even mythical

00:26:12.599 --> 00:26:13.419
 and yet what

00:26:13.419 --> 00:26:14.099
 jesus is saying

00:26:14.099 --> 00:26:14.599
 is this is

00:26:14.599 --> 00:26:15.019
 life

00:26:15.019 --> 00:26:16.739
 this is life

00:26:16.739 --> 00:26:17.039
 eternal

00:26:17.039 --> 00:26:19.599
 and when jesus

00:26:19.599 --> 00:26:20.419
 is raised up

00:26:20.419 --> 00:26:20.859
 on the cross

00:26:20.859 --> 00:26:21.299
 we are told

00:26:21.299 --> 00:26:21.599
 that people

00:26:21.599 --> 00:26:22.219
 from all over

00:26:22.219 --> 00:26:22.519
 the world

00:26:22.519 --> 00:26:23.159
 will effectively

00:26:23.159 --> 00:26:23.979
 be drawn to him

00:26:23.979 --> 00:26:24.539
 the word

00:26:24.539 --> 00:26:25.139
 drawn again

00:26:25.139 --> 00:26:25.619
 is used in

00:26:25.619 --> 00:26:26.219
 chapter 6

00:26:26.219 --> 00:26:28.459
 no one comes

00:26:28.459 --> 00:26:28.879
 to me unless

00:26:28.879 --> 00:26:29.259
 the father

00:26:29.259 --> 00:26:29.919
 draws him

00:26:29.919 --> 00:26:32.299
 the father

00:26:32.299 --> 00:26:32.979
 is in that

00:26:32.979 --> 00:26:33.779
 drawing

00:26:33.779 --> 00:26:34.519
 and here's

00:26:34.519 --> 00:26:34.959
 how he does

00:26:34.959 --> 00:26:35.179
 it

00:26:35.180 --> 00:26:38.080
 the father

00:26:38.080 --> 00:26:38.740
 raises his

00:26:38.740 --> 00:26:39.140
 son upon

00:26:39.140 --> 00:26:39.539
 the cross

00:26:39.539 --> 00:26:39.799
 and he

00:26:39.799 --> 00:26:40.180
 sets the

00:26:40.180 --> 00:26:40.400
 cross

00:26:40.400 --> 00:26:40.920
 before your

00:26:40.920 --> 00:26:41.320
 eyes

00:26:41.320 --> 00:26:43.100
 the spirit

00:26:43.100 --> 00:26:43.519
 of god

00:26:43.519 --> 00:26:43.940
 comes into

00:26:43.940 --> 00:26:44.420
 your heart

00:26:44.420 --> 00:26:46.420
 and effectively

00:26:46.420 --> 00:26:47.220
 draws you

00:26:47.220 --> 00:26:47.880
 to the cross

00:26:47.880 --> 00:26:50.100
 and because

00:26:50.100 --> 00:26:50.539
 you've come to

00:26:50.539 --> 00:26:50.840
 know your

00:26:50.840 --> 00:26:51.320
 need

00:26:51.320 --> 00:26:52.060
 and you've

00:26:52.060 --> 00:26:52.600
 humbled your

00:26:52.600 --> 00:26:52.920
 heart

00:26:52.920 --> 00:26:53.240
 and you've

00:26:53.240 --> 00:26:53.900
 confessed your

00:26:53.900 --> 00:26:54.180
 sins

00:26:54.180 --> 00:26:54.640
 and you've

00:26:54.640 --> 00:26:55.519
 asked jesus

00:26:55.519 --> 00:26:56.220
 christ to be

00:26:56.220 --> 00:26:56.799
 the provision

00:26:56.799 --> 00:26:57.900
 for you

00:26:57.900 --> 00:26:58.519
 before his

00:26:58.519 --> 00:26:59.019
 throne of

00:26:59.019 --> 00:26:59.400
 grace

00:26:59.400 --> 00:27:01.500
 and that

00:27:01.500 --> 00:27:01.700
 is what

00:27:01.700 --> 00:27:02.000
 we see

00:27:02.000 --> 00:27:02.220
 in this

00:27:02.220 --> 00:27:02.600
 text

00:27:02.600 --> 00:27:05.700
 there are

00:27:05.700 --> 00:27:06.000
 many

00:27:06.000 --> 00:27:06.259
 many

00:27:06.259 --> 00:27:06.740
 distractions

00:27:06.740 --> 00:27:07.140
 from the

00:27:07.140 --> 00:27:07.360
 cross

00:27:07.360 --> 00:27:07.820
 none of

00:27:07.820 --> 00:27:08.019
 which

00:27:08.019 --> 00:27:08.420
 jesus

00:27:08.420 --> 00:27:08.860
 allowed

00:27:08.860 --> 00:27:09.120
 in his

00:27:09.120 --> 00:27:09.300
 own

00:27:09.300 --> 00:27:09.660
 life

00:27:09.660 --> 00:27:10.940
 because

00:27:10.940 --> 00:27:11.100
 the

00:27:11.100 --> 00:27:11.660
 accomplishments

00:27:11.660 --> 00:27:12.060
 of the

00:27:12.060 --> 00:27:12.280
 cross

00:27:12.280 --> 00:27:12.580
 were too

00:27:12.580 --> 00:27:12.920
 great

00:27:12.920 --> 00:27:14.920
 the glory

00:27:14.920 --> 00:27:15.160
 of the

00:27:15.160 --> 00:27:15.420
 son of

00:27:15.420 --> 00:27:15.680
 man

00:27:15.680 --> 00:27:16.820
 the glory

00:27:16.820 --> 00:27:17.100
 of the

00:27:17.100 --> 00:27:17.420
 father

00:27:17.420 --> 00:27:19.040
 the condemnation

00:27:19.040 --> 00:27:19.340
 of the

00:27:19.340 --> 00:27:19.900
 fallen world

00:27:19.900 --> 00:27:20.480
 the destruction

00:27:20.480 --> 00:27:20.980
 of satan

00:27:20.980 --> 00:27:21.240
 and the

00:27:21.240 --> 00:27:21.620
 salvation

00:27:21.620 --> 00:27:21.880
 of his

00:27:21.880 --> 00:27:22.160
 people

00:27:22.160 --> 00:27:22.820
 and then

00:27:22.820 --> 00:27:23.120
 lastly

00:27:23.120 --> 00:27:23.380
 and really

00:27:23.380 --> 00:27:23.720
 quickly

00:27:23.720 --> 00:27:25.140
 we have

00:27:25.140 --> 00:27:25.400
 to see

00:27:25.400 --> 00:27:25.660
 in verses

00:27:25.660 --> 00:27:26.519
 34 to 6

00:27:26.519 --> 00:27:26.799
 that you

00:27:26.799 --> 00:27:27.279
 must allow

00:27:27.279 --> 00:27:27.799
 nothing to

00:27:27.799 --> 00:27:28.380
 distract you

00:27:28.380 --> 00:27:28.700
 from the

00:27:28.700 --> 00:27:29.019
 cross

00:27:29.019 --> 00:27:31.559
 you must

00:27:31.559 --> 00:27:31.819
 allow

00:27:31.819 --> 00:27:32.339
 nothing to

00:27:32.339 --> 00:27:32.880
 distract you

00:27:32.880 --> 00:27:33.200
 from the

00:27:33.200 --> 00:27:33.539
 cross

00:27:33.539 --> 00:27:35.980
 you can

00:27:35.980 --> 00:27:36.240
 see the

00:27:36.240 --> 00:27:36.819
 people jesus

00:27:36.819 --> 00:27:37.279
 was teaching

00:27:37.279 --> 00:27:37.700
 that day

00:27:37.700 --> 00:27:38.100
 they've got a

00:27:38.100 --> 00:27:38.799
 very significant

00:27:38.799 --> 00:27:39.380
 question of

00:27:39.380 --> 00:27:39.799
 name verse

00:27:39.799 --> 00:27:40.500
 34

00:27:40.500 --> 00:27:43.200
 they say

00:27:43.200 --> 00:27:43.720
 functionally

00:27:43.720 --> 00:27:44.259
 jesus

00:27:44.259 --> 00:27:45.100
 we've been

00:27:45.100 --> 00:27:45.519
 reading our

00:27:45.519 --> 00:27:45.900
 bibles

00:27:45.900 --> 00:27:46.519
 and the

00:27:46.519 --> 00:27:46.759
 torah

00:27:46.759 --> 00:27:47.339
 teaches us

00:27:47.339 --> 00:27:47.720
 about the

00:27:47.720 --> 00:27:48.100
 messiah

00:27:48.100 --> 00:27:48.600
 in several

00:27:48.600 --> 00:27:49.019
 places

00:27:49.019 --> 00:27:49.559
 and we are

00:27:49.559 --> 00:27:49.980
 told that the

00:27:49.980 --> 00:27:50.460
 messiah will

00:27:50.460 --> 00:27:51.019
 reign forever

00:27:51.019 --> 00:27:51.360
 and ever

00:27:51.360 --> 00:27:51.720
 and ever

00:27:51.720 --> 00:27:53.039
 and we know

00:27:53.039 --> 00:27:53.440
 this to be

00:27:53.440 --> 00:27:53.920
 true

00:27:53.920 --> 00:27:54.820
 because one

 of the

00:27:54.980 --> 00:27:55.539
 most famous

00:27:55.539 --> 00:27:56.180
 passages in

00:27:56.180 --> 00:27:56.460
 the bible

00:27:56.460 --> 00:27:56.980
 is isaiah

 a child

00:27:59.640 --> 00:28:00.140
 is born

00:28:00.140 --> 00:28:01.100
 until your

 son is

 a child

00:28:02.279 --> 00:28:02.620

00:28:02.620 --> 00:28:02.820
 and he

00:28:02.820 --> 00:28:03.180
 will reign

00:28:03.180 --> 00:28:03.380
 over

00:28:03.380 --> 00:28:03.759
 david's

00:28:03.759 --> 00:28:03.940
 throne

00:28:03.940 --> 00:28:04.440

00:28:05.980 --> 00:28:06.299
 be no

00:28:06.299 --> 00:28:06.640
 end

00:28:06.640 --> 00:28:07.259
 so please

00:28:07.259 --> 00:28:07.820
 tell me

00:28:07.820 --> 00:28:08.600
 jesus

00:28:08.600 --> 00:28:09.320
 you claim

00:28:09.320 --> 00:28:09.519
 to be

00:28:09.519 --> 00:28:09.820
 the son

00:28:09.820 --> 00:28:10.320
 of man

00:28:10.320 --> 00:28:10.900
 and the

00:28:10.900 --> 00:28:11.360
 messiah

00:28:11.360 --> 00:28:11.960

00:28:11.960 --> 00:28:12.140
 you're

00:28:12.140 --> 00:28:12.559
 telling us

00:28:12.559 --> 00:28:12.700
 you're

00:28:12.700 --> 00:28:13.019
 going to

00:28:13.019 --> 00:28:13.460
 die

00:28:13.460 --> 00:28:15.920
 isn't a

00:28:15.920 --> 00:28:16.220
 dead

00:28:16.220 --> 00:28:16.660
 messiah

00:28:16.660 --> 00:28:18.100
 an oxymoron

00:28:18.100 --> 00:28:19.019
 is it

00:28:19.019 --> 00:28:20.880
 it's like

00:28:20.880 --> 00:28:21.559
 it's like

00:28:21.559 --> 00:28:22.400
 fried ice

00:28:22.400 --> 00:28:24.440
 it's

00:28:24.440 --> 00:28:24.800
 completely

00:28:24.800 --> 00:28:25.220
 impossible

00:28:25.220 --> 00:28:26.019
 to accomplish

00:28:26.019 --> 00:28:27.780
 a dead

00:28:27.780 --> 00:28:28.519
 saviour

00:28:28.519 --> 00:28:30.900
 cannot exist

00:28:30.900 --> 00:28:31.740
 well you've

00:28:31.740 --> 00:28:32.000
 got to wait

00:28:32.000 --> 00:28:32.320
 to get the

00:28:32.320 --> 00:28:32.800
 answer to that

00:28:32.800 --> 00:28:33.120
 you need to

00:28:33.120 --> 00:28:33.680
 read on into

00:28:33.680 --> 00:28:34.560
 the epistles

00:28:34.559 --> 00:28:35.379
 but i do

00:28:35.379 --> 00:28:35.940
 want you to

00:28:35.940 --> 00:28:36.279
 notice

00:28:36.279 --> 00:28:36.940
 in verses

00:28:36.940 --> 00:28:38.240
 35 to 36

00:28:38.240 --> 00:28:38.579
 jesus

00:28:38.579 --> 00:28:39.059
 answer

00:28:39.059 --> 00:28:39.859
 these are

00:28:39.859 --> 00:28:40.460
 legitimate

00:28:40.460 --> 00:28:41.159
 intellectual

00:28:41.159 --> 00:28:41.879
 questions

00:28:41.879 --> 00:28:42.700
 but jesus

00:28:42.700 --> 00:28:43.339
 says let me

00:28:43.339 --> 00:28:43.720
 tell you what

00:28:43.720 --> 00:28:44.059
 the real

00:28:44.059 --> 00:28:44.779
 problem is

00:28:44.779 --> 00:28:47.139
 there is

00:28:47.139 --> 00:28:47.539
 light

00:28:47.539 --> 00:28:49.960
 jesus says

00:28:49.960 --> 00:28:50.339
 there is

00:28:50.339 --> 00:28:50.879
 light and i

00:28:50.879 --> 00:28:51.339
 bring it to

00:28:51.339 --> 00:28:52.159
 you and

00:28:52.159 --> 00:28:52.440
 there is

00:28:52.440 --> 00:28:53.059
 darkness in

00:28:53.059 --> 00:28:53.319
 which you

00:28:53.319 --> 00:28:53.839
 are naturally

00:28:53.839 --> 00:28:54.879
 born and

00:28:54.879 --> 00:28:55.279
 in which you

00:28:55.279 --> 00:28:55.720
 naturally

00:28:55.720 --> 00:28:56.799
 walk and

00:28:56.799 --> 00:28:57.359
 if you do

00:28:57.359 --> 00:28:58.179
 keep walking

00:28:58.179 --> 00:28:59.159
 in this

00:28:59.159 --> 00:28:59.559
 darkness

00:28:59.559 --> 00:29:00.319
 verse 35

00:29:00.319 --> 00:29:01.659
 you don't know

00:29:01.659 --> 00:29:02.079
 where you are

00:29:02.079 --> 00:29:02.839
 going and that

00:29:02.839 --> 00:29:03.299
 will mean you

00:29:03.299 --> 00:29:03.859
 are lost

00:29:03.859 --> 00:29:06.259
 jesus is

00:29:06.259 --> 00:29:06.819
 saying there

00:29:06.819 --> 00:29:07.399
 are two ways

00:29:07.399 --> 00:29:07.719
 to live

00:29:07.719 --> 00:29:08.179
 you can either

00:29:08.179 --> 00:29:08.740
 live by the

00:29:08.740 --> 00:29:09.459
 flashlight of

00:29:09.459 --> 00:29:10.399
 jesus gospel

00:29:10.399 --> 00:29:11.500
 on the path

00:29:11.500 --> 00:29:12.079
 of life and

00:29:12.079 --> 00:29:12.559
 it will keep

00:29:12.559 --> 00:29:12.959
 you on the

00:29:12.959 --> 00:29:14.000
 path or

00:29:14.000 --> 00:29:14.559
 you can live

00:29:14.559 --> 00:29:15.519
 here and

00:29:15.519 --> 00:29:16.159
 you can stumble

00:29:16.159 --> 00:29:16.839
 around in

00:29:16.839 --> 00:29:18.199
 darkness and

00:29:18.199 --> 00:29:18.879
 not know what

00:29:18.879 --> 00:29:19.139
 you are going

00:29:19.139 --> 00:29:20.139
 to hit and

00:29:20.139 --> 00:29:20.519
 when you hit

00:29:20.519 --> 00:29:21.059

00:29:21.059 --> 00:29:21.919
 explanation for

00:29:21.919 --> 00:29:24.439
 it and so

00:29:24.439 --> 00:29:25.259
 without answering

00:29:25.259 --> 00:29:25.879
 the intellectual

00:29:25.879 --> 00:29:26.959
 question that

00:29:26.959 --> 00:29:27.559
 comes later

00:29:27.559 --> 00:29:27.959
 through the

00:31:39.539 --> 00:31:41.740
 gospel and

00:31:41.740 --> 00:31:42.400
 so lift up the

00:31:42.400 --> 00:31:42.759
 cross and

00:31:42.759 --> 00:31:43.200
 proclaim it

00:31:43.200 --> 00:31:43.660
 everywhere

00:31:43.660 --> 00:31:45.320
 proclaim it

00:31:45.320 --> 00:31:45.720
 everywhere that

00:31:45.720 --> 00:31:46.759
 our friends and

00:31:46.759 --> 00:31:47.640
 our neighbours and

00:31:47.640 --> 00:31:48.320
 people from all

00:31:48.320 --> 00:31:49.000
 around the world

00:31:49.000 --> 00:31:49.560
 may have the

00:31:49.559 --> 00:31:50.279
 only answer to

00:31:50.279 --> 00:31:51.919
 death and

00:31:51.919 --> 00:31:53.700
 sin and

00:31:53.700 --> 00:31:54.319
 destruction and

00:31:54.319 --> 00:31:54.759
 darkness

00:31:54.759 --> 00:31:58.179
 because that is

00:31:58.179 --> 00:32:00.099
 the reason jesus

00:32:00.099 --> 00:32:00.980
 could not be

00:32:00.980 --> 00:32:01.720
 deterred and

00:32:01.720 --> 00:32:04.700
 distracted and

00:32:04.700 --> 00:32:05.279
 i pray to god

00:32:05.279 --> 00:32:05.599
 that it will be

00:32:05.599 --> 00:32:06.119
 the reason that

00:32:06.119 --> 00:32:06.819
 you will never be

00:32:06.819 --> 00:32:07.419
 distracted from

00:32:07.419 --> 00:32:08.039
 the cross either

00:32:08.039 --> 00:32:09.759
 let's pray

00:32:09.759 --> 00:32:10.339
 if any of those

00:32:10.339 --> 00:32:11.259
 any of those

 any of those

00:32:14.680 --> 00:32:14.680


00:32:14.680 --> 00:32:15.420
 any of those

00:32:15.420 --> 00:32:16.379
 any of those

00:32:16.379 --> 00:32:16.379


00:32:16.379 --> 00:32:17.779
 any of those

00:32:17.779 --> 00:32:18.859
