WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.960 This book, Mark's Gospel, is not a biography. This is not a biography of Jesus. This is a gospel. 00:00:07.120 --> 00:00:14.740 It's a completely different genre. And the goal of the gospel authors, Mark, Matthew, Luke, and John, 00:00:15.220 --> 00:00:23.280 was not merely to write insightful stories about a historical figure, namely Jesus of Nazareth, 00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:32.719 but their goal was to persuade the reader. It's to convince you that Jesus is indeed the Son of God 00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:39.540 and that the salvation that we need only comes through Him. Let me say that again. They're trying 00:00:39.540 --> 00:00:45.200 to convince you. They're not trying to entertain us by stories. It's not just about telling us 00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:52.439 what Jesus did or what His life was like. The whole purpose behind these books is to get you to believe 00:00:52.439 --> 00:00:58.460 what it is that they're saying, believe it in a real way, in a substantial way, that Jesus is the 00:00:58.460 --> 00:01:06.739 Son of God, that He is deity Himself, and that salvation only comes through Him. And Mark made 00:01:06.739 --> 00:01:11.939 that clear in this very first verse of the book. It's his purpose statement, the beginning of the 00:01:11.939 --> 00:01:18.700 gospel of Jesus Christ, the gospel being good news, Jesus being the man from Nazareth, Christ being his 00:01:18.700 --> 00:01:24.280 messianic title, and then he follows that up with Son of God. All of that encompasses his purpose, 00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:31.480 to convince you that Jesus is the Son of God and that He is the Messiah that has brought salvation. 00:01:32.520 --> 00:01:36.980 Now, to understand that means that you have to first understand that you are actually in need of 00:01:36.980 --> 00:01:42.300 saving. That's what salvation is, right? We use that word a lot, and I'm not convinced that everyone 00:01:42.300 --> 00:01:47.060 always understands. What do we mean by being saved? What do we mean by salvation? 00:01:47.060 --> 00:01:53.840 Well, it means that we are in need of being saved from something. We are in danger, in fact, 00:01:54.240 --> 00:02:04.460 eternal danger. Why? Because of our sin. And the result of that sin is death. And what is it that 00:02:04.460 --> 00:02:11.599 Mark's trying to convince us of? That Jesus is the only one who can rescue you from that sin, 00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:20.840 who can bring life to your spiritual death. He's the only one. You can't do it. Religion can't do it. 00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:27.900 Our church can't do it. Your baptism can't do it. Your conformity to any system or morality cannot do it. 00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:36.180 Only Christ can do it. And he's persuading the readers by telling us, this is how Jesus proved that 00:02:36.180 --> 00:02:41.980 in his life. And he's connecting Jesus's life to the fulfillment of the Old Testament prophecies that 00:02:41.980 --> 00:02:47.099 said, this is what the Messiah would do. And then as we look back on the entirety of scripture, 00:02:47.099 --> 00:02:51.939 we can look at Mark's gospel and the other gospels, and then we can go to Romans as you're reading right 00:02:51.939 --> 00:02:56.319 now during your week. And you can see how all of this starts to piece together. No, he's exactly right. 00:02:56.319 --> 00:03:07.699 Jesus is the only way that we can possibly be saved from this sin and death. And so Mark begins to write 00:03:07.699 --> 00:03:13.680 this, and it's an important book. It's a helpful book, and it's really divided into two sections. 00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:21.599 The beginning of the book up until where we finished last week in verse 30 of chapter 8 has a focus on 00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:27.799 Jesus's identity. This is who Jesus is as the Son of God and the Messiah. And then moving forward, 00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:34.259 beginning in the verse that we just read in verse 31 to the end of the book, the focus is on Jesus's 00:03:34.259 --> 00:03:43.139 purpose. And so this section of scripture is pivotal to Mark's transition. He's transitioning from Christ's 00:03:43.139 --> 00:03:49.840 identity to Christ's purpose, and it's a pivotal section of the book. And of course, Mark was just 00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:55.099 following Jesus's pattern here because Jesus did the exact thing with his disciples. 00:03:56.420 --> 00:04:03.199 For this, up to this point, his focus has been on getting the disciples to see who he is. And it was 00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:10.439 only after they made this confession that he is the Christ in our previous passage that he then opened 00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:17.199 up to them plainly about what he had come to do. And that's important for us to understand 00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:27.659 because you cannot rightly understand what Jesus did apart from believing in who Jesus was. 00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:34.699 You can't understand his purpose unless you have come to a point where you're willing to believe 00:04:34.699 --> 00:04:42.819 in who he was. Now, as we zero in on chapter 8, the narrative is pointing out the progressive nature 00:04:42.819 --> 00:04:48.719 of the disciples' understanding. And you'll remember from last week in verses 22 to 26, 00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:55.279 Jesus healed a blind man that really served as an illustration to the spiritual blindness of the 00:04:55.279 --> 00:05:00.339 disciples. Remember, it was unique the way that Jesus went about this. There was a blind man brought 00:05:00.339 --> 00:05:07.039 to him. Jesus was tender and compassionate with him as he always was, but he healed him in two stages. 00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:13.620 It wasn't because he just messed up the first time and he had to kind of fix it and make it complete. 00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:18.960 There was an intention to what Jesus was doing. He touched his eyes first and the man could see, 00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:26.500 but he couldn't see clearly. Jesus touched his eyes again, and now he had 20-20 vision. He could see as 00:05:26.500 --> 00:05:32.660 perfectly as anyone could ever see. That's describing and illustrating what's happening with the disciples. 00:05:32.660 --> 00:05:40.020 Jesus has opened their eyes. They can see, but they can't see clearly yet. They can see enough that 00:05:40.020 --> 00:05:45.820 they've confessed him to be the Christ, but they're struggling grasping exactly what his purpose was, 00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:51.560 and they're going to continue to struggle that until after his resurrection. But this is the point in time 00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:57.480 when he actually begins to emphasize and plainly tell them exactly what he has come to do. 00:05:57.480 --> 00:06:03.220 They understood enough to confess him as Messiah, but they still didn't understand his mission. 00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:09.939 And because they misunderstood his mission, they also misunderstood what it meant for them 00:06:09.939 --> 00:06:17.060 to be his devoted followers. Do you understand that? That's the division in these two sections that I just 00:06:17.060 --> 00:06:25.680 read. Because they misunderstood his mission and his purpose, at this point in their walk with Christ, 00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:32.360 they misunderstood what it meant for them to be true, faithful, devoted followers of Christ. 00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:37.439 And let me illustrate it this way. Remember another time. In fact, many times Jesus said this, but in 00:06:37.439 --> 00:06:43.000 Matthew 10, Jesus said this to the disciples. He said, a disciple is not above his teacher, 00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:50.680 nor is a servant above his master. It is enough for the disciple to be like his teacher 00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:57.120 and the servant like his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, 00:06:57.840 --> 00:07:03.600 how much more will they malign those of his household? Okay. Jesus said that many times, 00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:09.319 actually, in the gospels. Sometimes it was in regard to teaching the disciples to be servant-hearted 00:07:09.319 --> 00:07:15.019 as he was servant-hearted. Sometimes it was in regard, as it was here, in understanding that they 00:07:15.019 --> 00:07:21.539 will face the same things that he faced. They will deal with suffering and persecution as he deals with 00:07:21.539 --> 00:07:27.519 suffering and persecution. And it's just logical sense, right? The disciple is not greater than his 00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:34.879 teacher. But at this point, the disciples have thought that in their commitment to following Jesus, 00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:40.859 their discipleship would lead them to a physical kingdom in which they would reign with Christ. 00:07:40.860 --> 00:07:45.819 That's their mindset. They think Jesus' mission at this point is to come and establish a kingdom, 00:07:45.960 --> 00:07:51.639 to set all things right, to establish Israel again, to rule in perfection in Jerusalem. 00:07:51.819 --> 00:07:57.639 They think that's his mission. Therefore, they think their role as his followers is to join him in that 00:07:57.639 --> 00:08:05.480 mission, to come alongside of him, to rule and to reign in the kingdom. But then we get here and Jesus 00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:14.460 says, no, my mission is actually different than that. The Jews, as was typical, and the disciples exemplify 00:08:14.460 --> 00:08:24.200 this, they did not connect God's suffering servant from Isaiah 53 to the messianic prophecies of the 00:08:24.200 --> 00:08:33.680 coming kingdom. But now Jesus was teaching that his purpose in this coming was to suffer, which means 00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:42.379 that all his followers must also be prepared to suffer on account of him. That's why this passage 00:08:42.379 --> 00:08:47.899 is so striking, isn't it? When you read it together. You know, we can look at the first half that we're 00:08:47.899 --> 00:08:52.120 dealing with today and we can just, we can maybe kind of give Peter a hard time here and just kind of 00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:56.719 see it as something that doesn't really matter to us. But there's no way of escaping the second section 00:08:56.720 --> 00:09:03.200 because Jesus says, if anyone desires to come after me, deny yourself. 00:09:05.259 --> 00:09:11.580 Take up your cross, literally carry your own noose around prepared that someone will take your life with 00:09:11.580 --> 00:09:18.360 the noose. That's essentially what he's saying. Take up your cross and follow me on the way of suffering 00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:26.019 if need be. And if you desire to save your life from that, in the end, you will prove not to be a true 00:09:26.019 --> 00:09:32.480 follower of me and you will lose your life for eternity. That's a hard statement. That's hard. 00:09:34.300 --> 00:09:39.100 Sometimes we get our misunderstanding here and we think, well, Jesus's purpose was good to come and 00:09:39.100 --> 00:09:45.060 just make my life better. And his purpose was to come and just to give me blessing. And there are 00:09:45.059 --> 00:09:49.679 churches, even in our area that today will do nothing but motivate their congregations to think 00:09:49.679 --> 00:09:54.159 that if they just pray hard enough and that they just follow hard enough, that God's purpose is to 00:09:54.159 --> 00:10:00.219 make them happy. And that's not his primary purpose for your life. His purpose for your life may be like 00:10:00.219 --> 00:10:06.500 the faithful believer in Afghanistan who today stands in the face of certain persecution and martyrdom 00:10:06.500 --> 00:10:13.539 only because they faithfully follow Christ. You're saying that God is not as faithful to them as he is to us? 00:10:13.539 --> 00:10:20.799 No. Of course he is. It's just sometimes we misunderstand God's purpose, which means we 00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:27.019 misunderstand what it means to actually be his follower. And when we really begin to understand 00:10:27.019 --> 00:10:32.539 what it means to be his follower, as Jesus says here in this passage, many people decide I'm not 00:10:32.539 --> 00:10:38.839 signing up for that. That's not what I came to Christ for. I came to Christ for blessing and for 00:10:38.840 --> 00:10:45.519 happiness and for peace. I didn't come for the other stuff. And they hit the road. And so Jesus says, 00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:50.300 this is actually a litmus test here. It's not that you have to do these things in order to be saved, 00:10:50.340 --> 00:10:55.300 but this is the test as to whether or not you truly are following me. And we're going to get there next 00:10:55.300 --> 00:11:02.740 week. But it is important, at least this week, to understand that a misunderstanding of Messiahship 00:11:02.740 --> 00:11:09.720 produces a misunderstanding of discipleship. And Jesus is addressing those misunderstandings here. 00:11:10.500 --> 00:11:16.299 The first one that we're dealing with today is really in relation to his mission, what Jesus must 00:11:16.299 --> 00:11:21.980 do. And then next week, Lord willing, we'll come to verses 34 to 38 and focus then on what we must do, 00:11:22.379 --> 00:11:28.399 or at least be prepared to do as his followers. So let's look first at the messianic mission. Okay. 00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:31.759 If you're keeping notes, I'd really just have two things for you to write down at least main points 00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:38.179 here. The first one is this. We see his mission stated, his mission stated. Look with me at verse 00:11:38.179 --> 00:11:45.319 31. And he began to teach them that the son of man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders 00:11:45.319 --> 00:11:53.659 and the chief priest and the scribes and be killed. And after three days rise again. And he said this 00:11:53.659 --> 00:12:01.019 plainly, well, the manner of Jesus's teaching is notably different moving forward in Mark's gospel. 00:12:01.919 --> 00:12:08.100 If you remember up to this point, much of his lessons have been in the form of parables and riddles. 00:12:08.959 --> 00:12:17.379 We're told in verse 32 that he was now speaking plainly. This word literally means it means frankness, 00:12:17.379 --> 00:12:23.600 boldness, boldness publicly. He's laying it all out now. And moving forward in Mark's gospel, 00:12:23.600 --> 00:12:28.899 now that the disciples have made this great confession, we're going to see Jesus's manner 00:12:28.899 --> 00:12:34.120 of teaching really takes a radical shift here. He's no longer going to be teaching in parables. 00:12:34.120 --> 00:12:41.679 He's going to be laying things out plainly for them to understand. And the clarity with which the blind 00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:49.199 man saw in verse 25 is now the clarity with which Jesus began to speak of his mission, at least to 00:12:49.199 --> 00:12:57.439 the disciples here. There's no riddle to interpret. He frankly is telling his disciples what was to come. 00:12:58.039 --> 00:13:04.679 And here's what's funny about it. They found the plain teaching of Jesus much more difficult to grasp 00:13:04.679 --> 00:13:13.779 than the parables and the mysteries and the riddles that Jesus had taught beforehand. And it's not 00:13:13.779 --> 00:13:20.559 because they were hard to understand, but because a Messiah that would suffer was to them unthinkable. 00:13:20.939 --> 00:13:26.799 They weren't prepared to hear that. That's not what they expected. Now, how Jesus refers to himself 00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:33.439 in this verse is important. He calls himself the son of man. And in fact, he calls himself that many 00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:38.640 times in the gospels, more than 80 times, Jesus refers to himself as the son of man in the four 00:13:38.640 --> 00:13:44.060 gospels. And it wasn't a reference to his humanity. That's not what he means by that. This was actually 00:13:44.060 --> 00:13:51.240 a title. It was a messianic title that comes from Daniel chapter seven. So everyone that heard Jesus 00:13:51.240 --> 00:13:55.920 refer to himself as the son of man understood what he was saying. The Jews did. They understood he was 00:13:55.920 --> 00:14:02.000 saying, I am the one that Daniel saw in that vision. Here's the vision. Daniel seven, verse 13. 00:14:02.000 --> 00:14:08.980 I saw in the night visions and behold, with the clouds of heaven, there came one like a son of man. 00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:15.840 And he came to the ancient of days. That's God and was presented before him. And to him was given 00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:25.159 dominion and glory and a kingdom and all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him. His dominion 00:14:25.159 --> 00:14:33.279 is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away. And his kingdom one that shall not be destroyed. 00:14:34.279 --> 00:14:40.399 Now you can understand why the disciples would be excited that they have found the son of man, 00:14:40.959 --> 00:14:47.779 that they're following the son of man. They had just confessed that they believed that's who he was, 00:14:47.779 --> 00:14:53.419 but their thoughts were set on Daniel seven. They thought what Jesus had come to do in that coming. 00:14:53.419 --> 00:14:59.299 And in that moment was to establish this kingdom that all peoples and nations and languages would 00:14:59.299 --> 00:15:04.419 serve him, that his dominion would be everlasting in that moment, that it would never pass away. 00:15:04.539 --> 00:15:09.500 That's what they've got in their minds. This is what Jesus has come to do. And he's chosen us 00:15:09.500 --> 00:15:14.479 to be a part of it. And there's excitement with that. They didn't understand it all. They didn't care. 00:15:14.559 --> 00:15:17.740 They just wanted to be a part of it. They think that's where they're heading on this, 00:15:17.740 --> 00:15:25.039 on this path. And then Jesus drops a bomb on them. And he employs this term here, son of man, 00:15:25.120 --> 00:15:34.240 in this case, to connect the Messiah, the Daniel seven, son of man, to the one that would suffer for 00:15:34.240 --> 00:15:44.620 our sins in Isaiah 53. Here's what Isaiah says, Isaiah 53 verse 10. Yet it was the will of the Lord 00:15:44.620 --> 00:15:53.679 to crush him. He has put him to grief. When his soul makes an offering for guilt, he shall see his 00:15:53.679 --> 00:16:00.840 offspring. He shall prolong his days. The will of the Lord shall prosper in his hand. Out of the anguish 00:16:00.840 --> 00:16:08.019 of his soul, he shall see and be satisfied. By his knowledge shall the righteous one, my servant, 00:16:08.019 --> 00:16:18.100 make many to be accounted righteous, and he shall bear their iniquities. Jesus isn't denying his future 00:16:18.100 --> 00:16:26.039 reign here, but he was teaching the men that his first mission was to die and to rise from the dead. 00:16:26.860 --> 00:16:32.319 And so let's quickly examine what he meant by this suffering. Write this down. First note, 00:16:32.320 --> 00:16:38.480 the necessity of his suffering, the necessity of his suffering. Look again at verse 31. 00:16:39.379 --> 00:16:48.560 And he began to teach them that the son of man, what? Must suffer many things. Now this isn't 00:16:48.560 --> 00:16:54.760 inserted by English translations here to help us understand what we think Jesus was saying. No, 00:16:54.759 --> 00:17:05.359 he specifically used a word for necessity. It is of necessity that the son of man, the Daniel 7 Messiah, 00:17:05.819 --> 00:17:14.960 it is necessary that he first suffer many things. He didn't say that his suffering was a possibility. 00:17:15.619 --> 00:17:21.779 He said that it was actually a necessity. As we read a moment ago in Isaiah's prophecy, 00:17:21.779 --> 00:17:29.220 it was the sovereign will of God that Jesus would suffer for our sins. Without that suffering, 00:17:29.339 --> 00:17:34.019 without that crucifixion as we know it to be in atonement, wouldn't have been made for our sin. 00:17:34.579 --> 00:17:43.119 We'd all be damned to eternal hell. Every one of us. It was necessary. And Paul wrote to the 00:17:43.119 --> 00:17:47.740 Corinthians in 2 Corinthians chapter 1, he said that all of those Old Testament promises, 00:17:47.740 --> 00:17:56.460 all of those Old Testament prophecies find their yes in Jesus. They find their fulfillment in Jesus. 00:17:56.700 --> 00:18:04.559 All of those prophecies, all of those symbols, the sacrificial system, the whole deal with 00:18:04.559 --> 00:18:09.039 deliverance from Egypt, all of those things. Paul says, if you look back on the scripture now, 00:18:09.099 --> 00:18:12.539 you see that all of those things, they find their fulfillment in Christ. 00:18:12.539 --> 00:18:18.379 Christ. If Christ didn't suffer, if he didn't go to the cross, he wouldn't have been the Christ 00:18:18.379 --> 00:18:25.500 because it's necessary that the Christ suffer. Jesus is telling his disciples that according to 00:18:25.500 --> 00:18:31.319 the scripture, I'm not just telling you, according to the scripture, Jesus says, it is necessary that 00:18:31.319 --> 00:18:38.779 the son of man, the Daniel 7 Messiah must first suffer. Well, then let's look at the means of his 00:18:38.779 --> 00:18:44.920 suffering. We see the necessity of it. Look at the means of it. He continues on that he must be rejected 00:18:44.920 --> 00:18:54.279 and he must be killed. Now, what Mark has recorded for us here is a synopsis, a summary of what Jesus 00:18:54.279 --> 00:19:00.619 was teaching. There would have been a much more full explanation to these disciples in that moment. 00:19:00.740 --> 00:19:06.139 And the reason we know that is because the word began. He said he began to teach means this was an 00:19:06.140 --> 00:19:09.860 ongoing conversation. And this was the process. This was the summary of what he was saying. 00:19:09.860 --> 00:19:17.440 And look at all the detail that Jesus was giving these men. It's all here in the text. Look first. 00:19:19.220 --> 00:19:25.380 What is translated as rejected here? He must be rejected. The word literally means it was used in 00:19:25.380 --> 00:19:31.680 that time as a, as a means of rejecting upon trial. He's saying, I'm going to, I'm going to go. 00:19:31.680 --> 00:19:40.299 And they're actually going to examine me and find me worthy of death. It wouldn't be the result of a rash 00:19:40.299 --> 00:19:48.580 action. It would be deliberate and calculated. Those responsible would condemn him after being 00:19:48.580 --> 00:19:54.120 presented with all of the evidence necessary to acknowledge his truth. And even after seeing all 00:19:54.120 --> 00:19:59.840 of the, the necessary evidence of his truth, that he is who he says he is, they will still reject him. 00:19:59.839 --> 00:20:04.480 He's just laying it out plainly for the disciples. This is what's going to happen. And then he goes on 00:20:04.480 --> 00:20:12.799 and he says, who would be involved? Elders, high priest, scribes. He says, all three groups made up 00:20:12.799 --> 00:20:19.000 the Sanhedrin. The Sanhedrin was the Jewish court that Jesus stood before on the night of his arrest. 00:20:19.339 --> 00:20:24.199 Jesus is laying it out for the disciples. This is what's going to happen. They're going to examine 00:20:24.200 --> 00:20:30.640 me and reject me anyways. And it's not going to be pagans and zealots that do it. It's going to be 00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:39.080 those who represent moral integrity and religious fervor. And then he said, I'm going to be executed. 00:20:40.180 --> 00:20:50.039 It's not just that I'm going to die. I will be killed. He says, I will be executed by these people. 00:20:50.039 --> 00:20:55.799 Well, he's laying it out. James Edwards said it this way. I thought this was helpful. It's not 00:20:55.799 --> 00:21:01.879 humanity at its worst that will crucify the son of God, but humanity at its absolute best. 00:21:02.519 --> 00:21:09.000 The death of Jesus will not be the result of a momentary lapse or aberration of human nature, 00:21:09.000 --> 00:21:17.220 but rather the result of careful deliberations from respected religious leaders who will justify 00:21:17.220 --> 00:21:23.920 their actions by the highest standards of law and morality, even believing them to render service to 00:21:23.920 --> 00:21:31.079 God. Jesus is holding nothing back here for the disciples. He says, not only am I going to suffer, 00:21:31.960 --> 00:21:37.059 not only is it necessary, but here's how it's going to happen. If it wasn't shocking enough that 00:21:37.059 --> 00:21:40.420 he was going to suffer, it certainly would have been shocking that it was actually the Jews that 00:21:40.420 --> 00:21:46.339 were going to do it to him. And then notice with me, the end of his suffering. Well, what happens after 00:21:46.339 --> 00:21:55.559 that? Jesus keeps laying it out. After three days, I will rise again. He was straightforward about his 00:21:55.559 --> 00:22:01.199 resurrection, just as he was about his crucifixion. And this too was tied to the Old Testament. 00:22:02.539 --> 00:22:07.019 We read in Isaiah 53, you can go back and read it, read the whole chapter maybe later this afternoon, 00:22:07.019 --> 00:22:13.419 but we read it. It indicates that after this suffering, he will see his offspring. He will not 00:22:13.420 --> 00:22:21.840 remain dead. His days will be prolonged. Isaiah says he will rule. He will lead them. It's, it's a 00:22:21.840 --> 00:22:27.400 reference to resurrection. Jesus has already told his disciples that this generation will not receive 00:22:27.400 --> 00:22:34.019 any sign except the sign of Jonah. Well, what was that all about? Death and resurrection. Just as Jonah 00:22:34.019 --> 00:22:40.920 was three days dead in the belly of the fish and recurgitated out. So Jesus would spend three days in the 00:22:40.920 --> 00:22:47.820 grave and after three days be resurrected to life. And he was just as straightforward about that. That should 00:22:47.820 --> 00:22:55.060 have never been a surprise to the disciples, but it was when it came time. It was without the resurrection. 00:22:56.160 --> 00:23:02.920 Jesus is suffering would have been meaningless. We just read it in Romans four, the very last verse that 00:23:02.920 --> 00:23:09.259 we read righteousness will be counted to us who believe in him, who raised from the dead, Jesus, 00:23:09.440 --> 00:23:17.279 our Lord. And here's what he says. Jesus did who was delivered up for our trespasses. He suffered for our 00:23:17.279 --> 00:23:26.140 sins and was raised for our justification. Our standing in the sight of God relies just as much on Jesus's 00:23:26.140 --> 00:23:32.080 resurrection as it relies on his crucifixion. You can't separate those two things. This resurrection was 00:23:32.079 --> 00:23:38.859 necessary. And Jesus is laying it out for all of his disciples to see and to understand. This was the 00:23:38.859 --> 00:23:44.079 true mission of the Messiah. And now that the disciples had made their confession, they needed to 00:23:44.079 --> 00:23:50.519 believe this and accept it. Now, maybe you've never really considered or understood the necessity 00:23:50.519 --> 00:23:59.919 of Jesus's suffering and death. Many people think today in our cultural Christianity here in the United 00:23:59.920 --> 00:24:07.560 States. Many people think that Jesus's purpose was to show compassion and to heal the hurting and to 00:24:07.560 --> 00:24:15.660 provide a good example for us of love and acceptance and kindness. And Jesus indeed did those things, 00:24:16.100 --> 00:24:24.960 but those things were not his primary purpose. He told us his purpose. Matthew 20, the son of man came 00:24:24.960 --> 00:24:34.000 to give his life a ransom for many. That's his purpose. His purpose is not about giving you an example. 00:24:34.360 --> 00:24:43.019 His purpose is about saving you from your sin. The entire purpose of God's son coming to earth was so 00:24:43.019 --> 00:24:53.759 that he could die for sinners. In his death, he bore the wrath of God against sin. It's not just about pain. 00:24:53.759 --> 00:25:01.740 It's not just about execution. It's about bearing the wrath of God against your sin. And he did it 00:25:01.740 --> 00:25:07.839 willingly. That's what's amazing about it. He didn't do it out of compulsion. It wasn't as if God the 00:25:07.839 --> 00:25:13.740 Father was forcing him into this. No, he himself said in John chapter 10, for this reason, the Father 00:25:13.740 --> 00:25:21.599 loves me because I lay down my life that I may take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it 00:25:21.599 --> 00:25:27.539 down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down. I have authority to take it up. This charge I 00:25:27.539 --> 00:25:32.679 have received from my Father. Yes, it's the Father's will that I do this, but I want to do this. 00:25:33.779 --> 00:25:40.819 Willingly, he laid down his life and suffered and rose again for your justification. He did it on 00:25:40.819 --> 00:25:47.779 purpose. That was why he came. Not to make your life happy, to give you eternal life. 00:25:47.779 --> 00:25:56.720 God's justice demands that every sin be penalized, that it receive a just penalty. 00:25:58.799 --> 00:26:03.180 And we sometimes think that when God forgives our sins, that what he's actually doing is turning 00:26:03.180 --> 00:26:07.899 kind of a blind eye and ignoring the fact that we sin, that that's the kind of forgiveness. But God 00:26:07.900 --> 00:26:15.160 can't do that. You understand that. Every sin must be judged. For those who believe in Christ, 00:26:16.360 --> 00:26:22.380 Christ was judged for you. That's the thing. It's not that God ignores your sin. He puts your sin on 00:26:22.380 --> 00:26:32.759 Christ. That's why he came. And he offers forgiveness and life to everyone who will repent 00:26:32.759 --> 00:26:40.660 and believe. It tells us plainly. Romans 10, everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame. 00:26:41.599 --> 00:26:45.200 For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. 00:26:47.460 --> 00:26:54.720 Now, this is such wonderful news. The disciples must have surely been filled with joy. 00:26:56.720 --> 00:27:01.460 Excited that when Jesus finally revealed these things and just lays it out, I'm going to the cross 00:27:01.460 --> 00:27:05.700 and I'm going to die, but then I'm going to raise again for your sins. They would have just 00:27:05.700 --> 00:27:14.559 rejoiced that he had come for that. But that's not at all what they did. Look with me. We not only see 00:27:14.559 --> 00:27:20.700 his mission stated, we see his mission rejected. And it was rejected by those closest to him. 32. 00:27:22.299 --> 00:27:27.819 Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. 00:27:27.819 --> 00:27:31.980 Turning and seeing his disciples, he rebuked Peter. 00:27:33.059 --> 00:27:38.220 He said, get behind me, Satan. For you're not setting your mind on the things of God, 00:27:38.460 --> 00:27:43.480 but on the things of man. That's quite shocking. 00:27:46.619 --> 00:27:50.740 It seems that Peter has found his place of leadership at this point. It's been solidified 00:27:50.740 --> 00:27:57.700 amongst the group. He pulls Jesus to the side. Matthew says that a part of what Peter said 00:27:57.700 --> 00:28:06.259 was this, far be it from you, Lord, this shall never happen to you. Essentially, he's saying, 00:28:06.380 --> 00:28:10.880 as long as I have anything to do with it, that won't happen. That won't happen. 00:28:12.880 --> 00:28:16.660 Now, what kind of audacity does it take 00:28:16.660 --> 00:28:25.800 to, in one moment, confess that Jesus is the Messiah and your Lord, as Peter had just done, 00:28:26.940 --> 00:28:33.660 and the very next moment, rebuke him for saying something that you don't like very much? 00:28:35.200 --> 00:28:39.700 That's kind of unbelievable, isn't it? How could that exist in the same person? 00:28:39.700 --> 00:28:46.400 That Peter so boldly, in this moment, on behalf of the disciples, we assume, says, 00:28:46.600 --> 00:28:50.860 you are the Christ. Everybody else has all these other opinions. I know you're the Christ. 00:28:51.180 --> 00:28:55.660 His faith was strong. And then Jesus says, okay, now that you got that, let me tell you what I 00:28:55.660 --> 00:29:03.640 actually came to do. And then the same person pulls him to the side as if he's Jesus' Lord, 00:29:03.640 --> 00:29:09.840 Lord, and said, far be it from you. I'm not going to let that happen. And he rebukes the one that he 00:29:09.840 --> 00:29:13.520 had just said was his Lord. What kind of audacity does it take to do that? 00:29:15.940 --> 00:29:18.680 It's the same audacity that we demonstrate often. 00:29:20.759 --> 00:29:26.520 We come to a church service on a Sunday morning, and we worship him as our Lord, and as our Savior, 00:29:26.640 --> 00:29:31.480 and as our Creator, and as our God. And then on another day, we shake our fist at him because we 00:29:31.480 --> 00:29:35.980 come to something in the scriptures that doesn't, we don't find agreeable, or we shake our fist at him 00:29:35.980 --> 00:29:40.700 because he puts us in a position of hardship or of trial. We do the same thing Peter did. 00:29:42.779 --> 00:29:46.019 You're my Lord as long as you do it the way that I want you to do it. 00:29:47.259 --> 00:29:52.180 As long as the things that you say fit with what I want you to say, I'll let you be my Lord. 00:29:52.319 --> 00:29:56.640 As long as you don't make me go through all of this difficult things, I came to you so I wouldn't 00:29:56.640 --> 00:30:00.559 have to go through all of those difficult things. And as long as you keep me from those things, 00:30:00.559 --> 00:30:03.539 I'll follow you. We have the same audacity as Peter. 00:30:05.119 --> 00:30:09.379 We confess him as Lord, but we live as if we are his God instead. 00:30:10.539 --> 00:30:14.879 He has the power, but he wields it on the basis of our will. That's the way we act. 00:30:15.579 --> 00:30:19.460 And we'll come to a church service on a Sunday, and we'll pray to him, and we'll sing these songs 00:30:19.460 --> 00:30:22.940 to him, and then we shake our fist at him. I can't believe you would send me through this. I can't 00:30:22.940 --> 00:30:29.919 believe you wouldn't provide for me in this way. And I'm so happy for the passages that tell me 00:30:29.920 --> 00:30:34.960 about your forgiveness, but don't try to tell me how to live. Don't try to tell me what you want 00:30:34.960 --> 00:30:41.019 me to do differently. Don't tell me about sacrifice. We have the same audacity as Peter. Let's not give 00:30:41.019 --> 00:30:47.700 him a too hard of a time yet. And this is going to continue to be a struggle for the disciples. 00:30:48.820 --> 00:30:54.140 Jesus is laying it all out for them, but they're going to struggle with this all the way until post-resurrection. 00:30:54.140 --> 00:31:00.220 Over and over, Jesus goes through this in detail with them, over and over in the Gospels. 00:31:00.920 --> 00:31:04.980 And then on the night of his arrest, what does Peter do when they come to arrest him? 00:31:05.940 --> 00:31:12.440 He does what he said in Matthew. He fulfilled his statement, didn't he? He said, far be it from you. 00:31:12.480 --> 00:31:15.560 As long as I've got anything to do with this, it will never happen to you. And then they come to 00:31:15.560 --> 00:31:18.560 arrest Jesus, and what does he do? He pulls out his sword, and he tries to kill a man. 00:31:18.559 --> 00:31:28.500 He tries to kill a man. Even at the moment, he refused to accept what Jesus was saying was his 00:31:28.500 --> 00:31:34.619 purpose. And they would continue to do that until after the resurrection. I don't think this was a 00:31:34.619 --> 00:31:40.419 heart of rebellion on Peter's part. I don't think that it was unbelief even. I think it was 00:31:40.419 --> 00:31:46.200 misunderstanding. But he put himself in the place of opposition against Jesus and his mission. 00:31:46.200 --> 00:31:55.080 He was sincere. I believe he loved the Lord. He wanted to follow the Lord. But he wanted to do it on 00:31:55.080 --> 00:32:08.019 his terms. Though sincere, he was sincerely wrong, which is still wrong. Look at verse 33 again. Here's what 00:32:08.019 --> 00:32:18.559 Jesus did. But turning and seeing his disciples, he rebuked Peter and said, get behind me, Satan. 00:32:20.240 --> 00:32:26.079 For you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man. 00:32:27.240 --> 00:32:28.900 This is another striking statement, isn't it? 00:32:31.700 --> 00:32:37.539 Reveals the seriousness of Peter's unwillingness to accept Jesus's mission in this moment. 00:32:38.019 --> 00:32:47.359 Let's bring some clarity to what Jesus is saying. He's not insinuating that Peter is an unbeliever. 00:32:47.900 --> 00:32:55.740 He's not insinuating here that Satan had possessed Peter or that Peter was otherwise under Satan's 00:32:55.740 --> 00:33:03.539 control. That's not what Jesus was saying. His point was that in attempting to stand in the way 00:33:03.539 --> 00:33:12.440 of the cross, Peter had made himself an adversary of God's will. That's what the point was in saying, 00:33:12.539 --> 00:33:18.319 get away from me, Satan. It wasn't that he believed Peter was Satan. Just before this, 00:33:19.019 --> 00:33:24.639 when Peter says, you are the Christ, what is it that Jesus said? He said, blessed are you, Simon, 00:33:24.819 --> 00:33:29.420 son of Jonah. For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my father, which is in heaven, 00:33:29.420 --> 00:33:35.000 has revealed this to you. Over and over, he was assuring Peter and the other disciples of their 00:33:35.000 --> 00:33:41.360 faith. He was assuring them of that. So he's not all of a sudden changing his mind and saying that 00:33:41.360 --> 00:33:45.100 Peter isn't actually being, his heart isn't actually being opened by God, but he's actually being 00:33:45.100 --> 00:33:49.580 controlled by Satan. That's not what he means. What he means is that in standing in the way of Christ's 00:33:49.579 --> 00:33:58.519 suffering, Peter had positioned himself as an adversary to God. And the scene draws our minds 00:33:58.519 --> 00:34:06.279 back to Jesus's temptation in the wilderness. Remember in Matthew chapter four, after his baptism, 00:34:06.500 --> 00:34:12.019 Jesus is led of the spirit for 40 days and 40 nights in the wilderness. And as he fasts there, 00:34:12.099 --> 00:34:16.980 he's tempted by Satan. And there were all kinds of temptations, but Matthew summarizes three of them 00:34:16.980 --> 00:34:23.639 for us. Every temptation, though different, really boiled down to the same thing. He was trying to 00:34:23.639 --> 00:34:30.699 get Jesus to go against the will of the father with turning the rocks into bread, with throwing himself 00:34:30.699 --> 00:34:37.500 off of the temple pinnacle to be rescued by angels. And then most obviously by taking him on the mountain 00:34:37.500 --> 00:34:41.780 and saying, if you will just bow to me, I'll give you all of this. And you won't have to suffer, 00:34:41.940 --> 00:34:46.780 suffer even one day. You won't have to go to the cross, Jesus. If you will just bow to me, 00:34:46.780 --> 00:34:51.900 and I'll give you power, the power you want, the rule that you are saying that, that you will have, 00:34:52.000 --> 00:34:58.320 I'll give it to you without the cross. The purpose of those temptations was to get Jesus to circumvent 00:34:58.320 --> 00:35:03.420 the will of the father. And of course, Jesus resisted all of those temptations. And at the 00:35:03.420 --> 00:35:10.580 conclusion of it, it's interesting. What does he say to Satan? Be gone. Get away from me, Satan. 00:35:10.579 --> 00:35:19.980 Same exact Greek word that he uses here with Peter. Go away from me, Satan. Get away from me. 00:35:20.239 --> 00:35:26.480 Get behind me. What's he saying? You are standing in the way of God's will. And therefore you have 00:35:26.480 --> 00:35:32.500 put yourself in the place of an adversary, which is who Satan is. Peter, you're closer to following 00:35:32.500 --> 00:35:40.139 after Satan than you are to following after me in this moment. Why? Because he denied the will of the 00:35:40.139 --> 00:35:49.320 father. And what was the source of this rejection and denial? Jesus tells him, you're not setting your 00:35:49.320 --> 00:35:56.420 mind on the things of God, but instead you're setting your mind on what? The things of man. 00:35:56.420 --> 00:36:06.099 We struggle with this every day of our lives. We see the will of God on paper. We see it in the word. 00:36:06.220 --> 00:36:11.260 If you read your Bible, you see it. You can't help but see it. You hear it in the preached word. 00:36:12.200 --> 00:36:17.300 The spirit opens your heart to it as a believer. We know that. We know the will of God. 00:36:18.639 --> 00:36:25.619 But there are times when we position ourselves as if we are enemies of God's will because we are more 00:36:25.619 --> 00:36:32.339 concerned about what we want than what God wants. Isn't that Peter's problem? 00:36:34.839 --> 00:36:39.839 He wants a Messiah that will come and reign. He doesn't want the suffering. He doesn't want the 00:36:39.839 --> 00:36:46.299 cross. He wants the kingdom. And he says, if I have anything to do with it, we're going to get the 00:36:46.299 --> 00:36:50.859 kingdom, not the cross. And Jesus says, well, fine, then you're as good as Satan. You might as well get 00:36:50.860 --> 00:36:56.079 away from me. Get behind me now. You're not thinking about God. You're thinking about yourself, 00:36:56.079 --> 00:37:01.500 Peter. Thinking about yourself. How this must have pierced his heart. 00:37:04.500 --> 00:37:11.160 In his heart, he wants to be a follower of Jesus. He wants to be faithful. But Jesus has just accused 00:37:11.160 --> 00:37:19.579 his actions of being more like the devils. And again, he's not condemning him as an unbeliever. 00:37:19.579 --> 00:37:22.079 He's correcting him as a true follower. 00:37:25.219 --> 00:37:32.519 This was an essential lesson for these men that you cannot reject Christ's purpose and lordship 00:37:32.519 --> 00:37:38.639 and yet be a true disciple. They couldn't quite see it yet. 00:37:38.639 --> 00:37:47.119 But Jesus was working in perfect accord with the will of God. And in this correction, 00:37:48.319 --> 00:37:55.639 Jesus was calling them to trust that that was true. Believe me, if you're going to follow me, 00:37:56.239 --> 00:38:01.379 trust me and actually follow me, not what you want me to be. 00:38:01.380 --> 00:38:09.099 Before we're too arrogant to think that we would have been different than Peter, 00:38:09.599 --> 00:38:13.079 I've struggled with that for the last two or three weeks. Terry and I talked about this, 00:38:13.160 --> 00:38:14.059 I think this week in an email. 00:38:15.960 --> 00:38:20.180 With coming to the disciples in chapter eight and not being so frustrated, right? 00:38:20.940 --> 00:38:22.780 Am I the only person that feels that way? 00:38:22.780 --> 00:38:26.900 Like they spent three years with Jesus. They were with him. 00:38:28.420 --> 00:38:29.920 They saw these miracles. 00:38:30.640 --> 00:38:32.500 They heard the teaching firsthand. 00:38:33.300 --> 00:38:34.900 And if we're not careful, we'll think, 00:38:35.000 --> 00:38:37.000 if I would have been one of those 12, 00:38:37.420 --> 00:38:39.640 I would have been better than that. 00:38:40.920 --> 00:38:42.340 I would have been better than that. 00:38:42.420 --> 00:38:43.320 We're tempted to think that. 00:38:43.380 --> 00:38:44.500 But before we're that arrogant, 00:38:45.040 --> 00:38:47.920 remember that our circumstances are quite different than these disciples. 00:38:47.920 --> 00:38:57.000 We aren't bothered by a suffering Messiah because culturally we have no concept of a Messiah to begin with, right? 00:38:57.220 --> 00:38:59.760 They had been given these promises and these covenants. 00:39:02.340 --> 00:39:03.400 We don't have that. 00:39:04.320 --> 00:39:08.659 Jesus was opening their eyes to the fact that what they'd been told their entire lives was wrong. 00:39:10.440 --> 00:39:12.820 Of course they would struggle with that at first. 00:39:13.260 --> 00:39:13.820 You would too. 00:39:14.139 --> 00:39:15.059 Maybe you have. 00:39:15.920 --> 00:39:16.720 Maybe you have. 00:39:16.719 --> 00:39:18.619 I've heard some of your testimonies. 00:39:18.739 --> 00:39:21.859 I've heard Marty talking about coming out of Roman Catholicism. 00:39:23.779 --> 00:39:28.579 How much of a struggle must that be to live your lives under the banner of Christianity, 00:39:28.779 --> 00:39:30.539 but believing a lie for all those years, 00:39:30.599 --> 00:39:32.539 and then somebody comes and just tells you that you're wrong, 00:39:32.759 --> 00:39:34.799 somebody you trust, somebody you're following, 00:39:35.059 --> 00:39:36.719 and they say all of that is wrong, 00:39:37.199 --> 00:39:40.559 and you're just supposed to accept it? 00:39:40.759 --> 00:39:41.859 Of course you would struggle. 00:39:42.279 --> 00:39:43.679 Struggle the same way that they did. 00:39:43.679 --> 00:39:48.259 But neither is faith merely an intellectual exercise. 00:39:49.739 --> 00:39:54.099 Sometimes we think, well, we would have just, we would have, we're a little bit smarter than these men. 00:39:54.119 --> 00:39:55.059 They're just fishermen, right? 00:39:55.339 --> 00:39:56.699 We'd have done a little better than that. 00:39:57.779 --> 00:39:58.139 No. 00:39:58.139 --> 00:40:00.059 No, we wouldn't. 00:40:01.500 --> 00:40:02.819 Remember, we have this advantage. 00:40:03.359 --> 00:40:05.179 We can look back on the entirety of Scripture, 00:40:05.279 --> 00:40:08.759 and we can connect all these dots with help with other people that are much smarter than us, 00:40:08.799 --> 00:40:10.619 and we can connect all these dots, 00:40:10.679 --> 00:40:13.420 and it can come to life in our minds intellectually speaking. 00:40:13.940 --> 00:40:16.119 Well, these men were living this in real time. 00:40:16.119 --> 00:40:19.159 It's not easy. 00:40:20.019 --> 00:40:20.739 Not easy. 00:40:22.059 --> 00:40:24.179 Faith is not merely an intellectual exercise. 00:40:24.179 --> 00:40:26.119 You can connect all the dots about Jesus. 00:40:26.380 --> 00:40:28.539 You can connect every dot about Jesus intellectually, 00:40:28.699 --> 00:40:30.400 but that doesn't mean you have a saving faith. 00:40:32.279 --> 00:40:36.559 Even the devil believes and trembles, James says. 00:40:36.819 --> 00:40:39.819 It's not about intellectually connecting all the dots. 00:40:39.880 --> 00:40:41.579 That wasn't the issue for the disciples. 00:40:42.279 --> 00:40:43.619 It's not your issue either. 00:40:44.259 --> 00:40:45.039 It's faith. 00:40:45.039 --> 00:40:48.519 And only God can awaken a heart. 00:40:49.179 --> 00:40:54.380 Only God can open the eyes of blind hearts to believe his truth. 00:40:54.800 --> 00:40:56.340 And if you're in Christ today, 00:40:56.579 --> 00:40:59.420 it's not because you're smarter than others. 00:41:00.179 --> 00:41:03.619 It's not because you connect the dots better than other people connect the dots. 00:41:04.559 --> 00:41:07.840 It's the result of God's amazing grace at work in your heart. 00:41:08.820 --> 00:41:10.960 You have nothing wherewith you could boast. 00:41:11.940 --> 00:41:13.519 It's all of God's grace. 00:41:14.059 --> 00:41:15.000 It's none of us. 00:41:15.639 --> 00:41:16.719 It's none of us. 00:41:16.880 --> 00:41:20.300 And if you think it's anything of you, then you probably don't have it. 00:41:21.019 --> 00:41:21.980 You probably don't have it. 00:41:24.559 --> 00:41:28.179 The heart of their problem was an unwillingness to take God at his word. 00:41:28.179 --> 00:41:33.440 They were glad to accept the scriptures teaching of a reigning king. 00:41:33.440 --> 00:41:38.659 But they ignored the scripture about the suffering servant. 00:41:38.659 --> 00:41:43.039 And as I said, we're often guilty of doing the same thing. 00:41:43.039 --> 00:41:49.480 We'll gladly receive the things about God's blessing and about God's love. 00:41:49.480 --> 00:41:58.719 But then we'll conveniently ignore the things about suffering, about repentance. 00:41:58.719 --> 00:42:06.959 It was Augustine that said, if you believe what you like in the gospels and reject what you don't like, 00:42:07.459 --> 00:42:10.939 it's not the gospel you believe, but yourself. 00:42:10.940 --> 00:42:15.920 There's a little bit of that issue going on with the disciples here. 00:42:17.000 --> 00:42:19.500 There's probably a little bit of that issue going on with us too. 00:42:19.500 --> 00:42:29.099 If you aren't careful, you'll end up ignoring or rejecting the parts of the Bible that are necessary for the faith that leads to salvation. 00:42:29.099 --> 00:42:36.779 And when we set ourselves against God's word, we set ourselves against God. 00:42:37.900 --> 00:42:46.500 And just as Peter, Jesus said to Peter, we're closer in those moments to following Satan than we are to following Christ. 00:42:48.079 --> 00:42:56.319 And so the question as we approach this is first, are you willing to follow a suffering Messiah? 00:42:56.320 --> 00:43:01.300 Is Jesus worth it to you? 00:43:02.080 --> 00:43:05.160 Even if it means you'll suffer as he suffered. 00:43:07.720 --> 00:43:13.059 And then if you say yes to that question, will you take God at his word? 00:43:14.900 --> 00:43:21.640 Every part of his word, not just the things that are easy or convenient, but even the things that are hard. 00:43:22.559 --> 00:43:25.340 Maybe even the things that go against your nature. 00:43:25.340 --> 00:43:28.880 You don't want it to be that way, but this is what God says. 00:43:30.200 --> 00:43:32.160 Are you willing to take him at his word? 00:43:32.380 --> 00:43:36.860 And if you're willing to take him at his word, are you willing to stand firm upon that word? 00:43:38.519 --> 00:43:41.500 That's the decision these disciples are going to have to make moving forward. 00:43:42.120 --> 00:43:44.300 It's a decision each of us are going to have to make as well. 00:43:44.300 --> 00:43:44.820 Well, thank you. 00:43:44.820 --> 00:43:44.820 00:43:44.820 --> 00:43:44.820 00:43:44.820 --> 00:43:44.820 00:43:44.820 --> 00:43:44.820 00:43:44.820 --> 00:43:44.820 00:43:44.820 --> 00:43:44.820 00:43:44.820 --> 00:43:44.820 00:43:44.820 --> 00:43:44.820 00:43:44.820 --> 00:43:44.820 00:43:44.820 --> 00:43:44.820 00:43:44.820 --> 00:43:44.820 00:43:44.820 --> 00:43:44.820 00:43:44.820 --> 00:43:44.820 00:43:44.820 --> 00:43:44.820 00:43:44.820 --> 00:43:44.820 00:43:44.820 --> 00:43:44.820 00:43:44.820 --> 00:43:44.820 00:43:44.820 --> 00:43:44.820 00:43:44.820 --> 00:43:44.820 00:43:44.820 --> 00:43:44.820 00:43:44.820 --> 00:43:44.820 00:43:44.820 --> 00:43:44.820 00:43:44.820 --> 00:43:44.820 00:43:44.820 --> 00:43:44.820 00:43:44.820 --> 00:43:44.820 00:43:44.820 --> 00:43:44.820 00:43:44.820 --> 00:43:44.820 00:43:44.820 --> 00:43:44.820 00:43:44.820 --> 00:43:44.820 00:43:44.820 --> 00:43:44.820 00:43:44.820 --> 00:43:44.820 00:43:44.820 --> 00:44:14.800 Thank you.
