WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:09.019
 We'll be reading our sermon text, which is from John 18, picking up where we left off

00:00:09.019 --> 00:00:09.679
 last week.

00:00:10.040 --> 00:00:15.700
 So this week we'll begin reading at verse 25, John 18, 25.

00:00:17.699 --> 00:00:23.760
 As I read, remember that this is God's inspired, inerrant, infallible, clear, and sufficient

00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:24.160
 word.

00:00:24.560 --> 00:00:27.100
 It's God's very own word for you and me, his people.

00:00:27.100 --> 00:00:30.820
 When I'm done reading, I'll say, this is the word of the Lord and we can celebrate.

00:00:31.020 --> 00:00:31.800
 Thanks be to God.

00:00:33.719 --> 00:00:37.340
 John 18, starting at verse 25 and to the end of the chapter.

00:00:39.380 --> 00:00:42.380
 Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself.

00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:47.520
 So they said to him, you also are not one of his disciples, are you?

00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:50.040
 He denied it and said, I am not.

00:00:50.900 --> 00:00:56.600
 One of the servants of the high priest, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, asked,

00:00:56.600 --> 00:00:59.120
 did I not see you in the garden with him?

00:00:59.800 --> 00:01:01.500
 Peter again denied it.

00:01:02.060 --> 00:01:04.659
 And at once the rooster crowed.

00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:10.079
 Then they led Jesus from the house of Caiaphas to the governor's headquarters.

00:01:10.859 --> 00:01:12.359
 It was early morning.

00:01:13.700 --> 00:01:18.879
 They themselves did not enter the governor's headquarters so that they would not be defiled,

00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:20.939
 but could eat the Passover.

00:01:20.939 --> 00:01:26.780
 So Pilate went outside to them and said, what accusation do you bring against this man?

00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:34.120
 They answered him, if this man were not doing evil, we would not have delivered him over to you.

00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:39.599
 Pilate said to them, take him yourselves and judge him by your own law.

00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:45.559
 The Jews said to him, it is not lawful for us to put anyone to death.

00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:52.919
 And this was to fulfill the word that Jesus had spoken to show by what kind of death he was going to die.

00:01:54.119 --> 00:01:55.119
 Verse 33.

00:01:55.120 --> 00:02:02.420
 So Pilate entered his headquarters again and called Jesus and said to him, are you the king of the Jews?

00:02:03.400 --> 00:02:09.520
 Jesus answered, do you say this of your own accord or did others say it to you about me?

00:02:10.420 --> 00:02:12.879
 Pilate answered, am I a Jew?

00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:18.500
 Your own nation and the chiefs, the chief priests have delivered you over to me.

00:02:19.200 --> 00:02:20.319
 What have you done?

00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:25.139
 Jesus answered, my kingdom is not of this world.

00:02:25.560 --> 00:02:32.959
 If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have been fighting that I might not be delivered over to the Jews.

00:02:33.199 --> 00:02:35.959
 But my kingdom is not from this world.

00:02:36.740 --> 00:02:39.579
 Then Pilate said to him, so you are a king.

00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:43.560
 Jesus answered, you say that I am a king.

00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:50.680
 For this purpose I was born and for this purpose I have come into the world to bear witness to the truth.

00:02:51.340 --> 00:02:54.219
 Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice.

00:02:55.319 --> 00:02:57.819
 Pilate said to him, what is truth?

00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:04.819
 And after this he said, after he said this, he went back outside to the Jews and told them, I find no guilt in him.

00:03:05.620 --> 00:03:09.879
 But you have a custom that I should release one man for you at the Passover.

00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:14.019
 So do you want me to release to you the king of the Jews?

00:03:14.500 --> 00:03:19.419
 They cried out again, not this man, but Barabbas.

00:03:20.299 --> 00:03:22.240
 Now, Barabbas was a robber.

00:03:23.419 --> 00:03:24.759
 This is the word of the Lord.

00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:27.099
 Thanks be to God.

00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:27.699
 You may be seated.

00:03:32.939 --> 00:03:37.759
 The grass withers and the flower fades, but the word of the Lord stands forever.

00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:52.079
 Let's pray.

00:03:52.080 --> 00:04:09.000
 Father, we praise you that though we wither like the grass in this body,

00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:17.500
 through the word of God, you reveal to us Jesus Christ, the truth, the way, the life of heaven.

00:04:17.500 --> 00:04:25.220
 We praise you for revealing yourself to us by the person and work of your son, Jesus Christ,

00:04:25.420 --> 00:04:27.339
 the only mediator between God and man.

00:04:28.540 --> 00:04:31.259
 We confess our utter dependence on you.

00:04:32.300 --> 00:04:37.800
 We thank you, Lord, that you have not left your church as orphans, but that you remain with us.

00:04:38.379 --> 00:04:42.379
 We thank you for how you have sent what you called an even better ministry,

00:04:42.379 --> 00:04:47.560
 and that's the Holy Spirit, wielding the sword of the Spirit, the word of God.

00:04:48.219 --> 00:04:54.560
 We pray that your truth in simple, plain language will enlighten our minds,

00:04:55.360 --> 00:05:00.879
 will put a flame in our hearts, will stir us up, Lord, to follow you more closely.

00:05:02.219 --> 00:05:05.120
 Lord, we are your people in this life as pilgrims.

00:05:05.300 --> 00:05:05.719
 We're hungry.

00:05:06.279 --> 00:05:07.579
 We need our daily bread.

00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:09.019
 We need Jesus Christ himself.

00:05:09.019 --> 00:05:10.979
 Please feed us today, Lord.

00:05:11.419 --> 00:05:14.139
 Sustain your people by the ministry of your word, we ask.

00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:14.899
 Amen.

00:05:16.719 --> 00:05:20.039
 Well, beloved congregation of our Lord Jesus Christ,

00:05:20.439 --> 00:05:27.519
 I want to walk through this passage with you and declare what Christ declared,

00:05:28.180 --> 00:05:32.500
 and that's why God the Son came into this world.

00:05:34.039 --> 00:05:36.680
 Why God the Son came into this world.

00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:41.959
 We read it a bit earlier, Isaiah 53, 6,

00:05:42.040 --> 00:05:45.459
 how we all, like sheep, have gone astray.

00:05:46.220 --> 00:05:48.980
 We have each turned to our own way.

00:05:51.379 --> 00:05:52.439
 That's you, isn't it?

00:05:54.120 --> 00:05:55.500
 That's my wondering heart.

00:05:55.500 --> 00:06:03.060
 Now, in this passage, our good shepherd, Jesus declares in verse 37,

00:06:04.860 --> 00:06:09.920
 it's to this end that I was born, for this cause, that I came into the world.

00:06:10.379 --> 00:06:13.360
 It's to be the good shepherd of my people.

00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:19.580
 You have steered away from his green pastures.

00:06:20.220 --> 00:06:22.699
 You have ventured off into the wild.

00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:25.439
 You're in the valley of darkness.

00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:26.400
 There's thorns.

00:06:27.500 --> 00:06:30.420
 There's those beady eyes of wolves and predators.

00:06:31.259 --> 00:06:33.960
 There's a vulture circling around you.

00:06:34.500 --> 00:06:36.900
 That's how you are if God would leave you alone.

00:06:36.899 --> 00:06:41.719
 But the good shepherd says, for this reason, I was born.

00:06:42.419 --> 00:06:44.399
 For this reason, I came into the world.

00:06:44.719 --> 00:06:46.319
 It's to rescue you.

00:06:48.799 --> 00:06:52.959
 I see in this passage, by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit,

00:06:54.060 --> 00:06:57.699
 and the way that the Apostle John is arranging this glorious message,

00:06:58.079 --> 00:07:00.739
 I see five reasons he gives us to meditate on.

00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:03.579
 And I invite you to ponder these truths with me.

00:07:03.579 --> 00:07:08.560
 The first reason that God the Son came into this world

00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:16.399
 was to prove himself most faithful when you and I are most faithless.

00:07:17.099 --> 00:07:19.959
 Have you been faithless this past week?

00:07:20.039 --> 00:07:22.639
 Have you lacked the faith that you want in your spirit?

00:07:22.979 --> 00:07:23.500
 I have.

00:07:24.919 --> 00:07:28.399
 That's the first reason God the Son came into the world,

00:07:28.399 --> 00:07:34.159
 to prove that he is most faithful when you and I are most faithless.

00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:35.519
 You and I are Peter.

00:07:36.739 --> 00:07:38.019
 Look at verse 25.

00:07:38.500 --> 00:07:42.479
 Simon Peter stood warming himself at the fire.

00:07:43.879 --> 00:07:45.859
 This tells us that it was a cold night.

00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:52.459
 Our Lord Jesus being interrogated by Annas and Caiaphas

00:07:52.459 --> 00:07:56.680
 in the middle of this cold night was faithful.

00:07:58.500 --> 00:08:01.979
 Peter was cold, was weak.

00:08:03.339 --> 00:08:06.259
 Isn't it so common for the enemy, for Satan,

00:08:06.419 --> 00:08:08.899
 to tempt us most in our weakness?

00:08:09.679 --> 00:08:12.839
 When we're tired, when we're emotionally drained,

00:08:12.959 --> 00:08:15.939
 when we're physically weak, we are so susceptible.

00:08:15.939 --> 00:08:20.120
 Our guard drops too often.

00:08:21.740 --> 00:08:23.060
 And they said to Peter,

00:08:23.300 --> 00:08:25.839
 Aren't you also one of his disciples?

00:08:27.319 --> 00:08:29.639
 You see Satan baiting the hook.

00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:34.879
 We don't know exactly what Peter was thinking or feeling.

00:08:35.740 --> 00:08:40.080
 We can infer that he has fear and maybe pride.

00:08:40.820 --> 00:08:43.919
 Here's the one who he believed would be the Messiah,

00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:45.440
 the conquering Savior.

00:08:46.520 --> 00:08:47.080
 Arrested.

00:08:47.820 --> 00:08:48.380
 Tied up.

00:08:51.220 --> 00:08:52.940
 Peter denied him a second time.

00:08:53.020 --> 00:08:54.720
 He said, I am not.

00:08:56.240 --> 00:08:59.240
 In John 13, 37, Peter had told Jesus

00:08:59.240 --> 00:09:01.360
 in front of all the other disciples as witnesses,

00:09:02.100 --> 00:09:04.160
 I will lay down my life for you.

00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:08.080
 Jesus Christ replied to him,

00:09:08.620 --> 00:09:09.100
 Will you?

00:09:11.940 --> 00:09:13.820
 There's the tender patience of our Lord.

00:09:13.920 --> 00:09:14.240
 Will you?

00:09:15.940 --> 00:09:17.220
 Jesus said to Peter,

00:09:17.220 --> 00:09:19.000
 truly, truly, I say to you,

00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:21.500
 the rooster will not crow

00:09:21.500 --> 00:09:23.980
 till you have denied me three times.

00:09:25.560 --> 00:09:29.060
 In verse 26, we read that one of the servants of the high priest,

00:09:30.100 --> 00:09:30.760
 his kinsman,

00:09:31.220 --> 00:09:32.800
 whose ear Peter had cut off,

00:09:33.280 --> 00:09:33.740
 he said,

00:09:34.140 --> 00:09:37.140
 Did not I see you in the garden with this man?

00:09:37.139 --> 00:09:43.299
 In verse 27, Peter denied Jesus the third time.

00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:46.840
 Immediately, the rooster crows.

00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:50.620
 We read in verse 28,

00:09:50.620 --> 00:09:52.639
 then it was early.

00:09:53.399 --> 00:09:56.560
 You see, a whole cold night has passed.

00:09:56.559 --> 00:10:02.619
 Why does our Lord prophesy that this will happen?

00:10:02.799 --> 00:10:03.839
 A rooster will crow.

00:10:05.179 --> 00:10:09.339
 Peter, at least, maybe John and others will take note of that and be reminded.

00:10:09.340 --> 00:10:12.620
 When does a rooster crow?

00:10:12.620 --> 00:10:16.560
 A rooster crows while it's still dark,

00:10:16.800 --> 00:10:20.899
 but it's a signal that the sun will be rising soon.

00:10:20.899 --> 00:10:25.539
 This was the darkest hour of Peter's life.

00:10:27.019 --> 00:10:28.620
 And he hears this sound.

00:10:29.819 --> 00:10:31.860
 And it's a reminder of his weakness

00:10:31.860 --> 00:10:35.939
 and of Christ's faithfulness.

00:10:37.379 --> 00:10:40.139
 The rooster signals the break of dawn.

00:10:40.139 --> 00:10:44.580
 In Peter's darkest hour,

00:10:45.439 --> 00:10:48.139
 Jesus Christ is most faithful.

00:10:51.419 --> 00:10:52.960
 Let that comfort you.

00:10:54.840 --> 00:10:56.679
 Through those moments of your life

00:10:56.679 --> 00:10:59.519
 when you have felt yourself to be most faithless,

00:11:00.419 --> 00:11:01.860
 God has sustained you.

00:11:02.340 --> 00:11:03.899
 That's why you're here on a Sunday morning.

00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:07.480
 It's because in his covenant of grace,

00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:11.519
 God's steadfast love endures forever.

00:11:11.940 --> 00:11:12.820
 That's his promise.

00:11:15.399 --> 00:11:16.800
 And so the rooster crows,

00:11:17.360 --> 00:11:18.860
 and soon it was morning.

00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:22.440
 I'm reminded of Psalm 110.

00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:24.139
 Remember the covenant of redemption.

00:11:24.940 --> 00:11:27.360
 The Father makes the promise to the Son,

00:11:27.779 --> 00:11:29.620
 the reward for his obedience.

00:11:32.080 --> 00:11:33.779
 And Psalm 110 says,

00:11:33.779 --> 00:11:37.300
 You, Son, you will rule with majesty.

00:11:38.100 --> 00:11:40.240
 In the womb of the dawn.

00:11:42.600 --> 00:11:46.379
 Our Lord is about to show the type of rule

00:11:46.379 --> 00:11:47.899
 of his kingdom.

00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:50.860
 And he conquers Satan.

00:11:51.120 --> 00:11:53.879
 He crushes the serpent's head on the cross.

00:11:54.440 --> 00:11:55.940
 In the womb of the morning,

00:11:56.480 --> 00:11:59.279
 he's holding on to that promise of his Father.

00:11:59.279 --> 00:12:03.000
 It's curious how John,

00:12:03.079 --> 00:12:03.799
 the same apostle,

00:12:03.939 --> 00:12:06.279
 begins this whole gospel

00:12:06.279 --> 00:12:08.139
 in John 1, 5

00:12:08.139 --> 00:12:08.980
 by declaring,

00:12:09.620 --> 00:12:11.860
 The light shines in the darkness

00:12:11.860 --> 00:12:14.459
 and the darkness has not overcome it.

00:12:15.240 --> 00:12:17.079
 Peter was tempted three times.

00:12:17.399 --> 00:12:18.199
 Three times.

00:12:18.279 --> 00:12:20.039
 Exposed for being faithless.

00:12:20.899 --> 00:12:23.019
 Our Lord Jesus was tempted in the desert

00:12:23.019 --> 00:12:24.279
 three times.

00:12:24.279 --> 00:12:27.839
 It's his perfect active obedience

00:12:27.839 --> 00:12:32.039
 as a substitute for Peter's perfect failures.

00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:35.059
 You and I are failures.

00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:37.039
 We are faithless just like Peter.

00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:39.740
 We need Christ's active obedience.

00:12:40.279 --> 00:12:41.919
 Because where we are faithless,

00:12:42.919 --> 00:12:44.720
 Christ has been faithful

00:12:44.720 --> 00:12:47.819
 to fulfill all righteousness on our behalf.

00:12:47.820 --> 00:12:50.580
 That's what Paul declares

00:12:50.580 --> 00:12:52.360
 as an encouragement to Timothy.

00:12:52.800 --> 00:12:54.240
 2 Timothy 2, 13

00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:55.940
 When we are faithless,

00:12:56.140 --> 00:12:57.600
 he remains faithful,

00:12:58.000 --> 00:13:00.580
 for he cannot deny himself.

00:13:01.660 --> 00:13:02.800
 Praise God like Peter

00:13:02.800 --> 00:13:04.860
 for Christ's active obedience

00:13:04.860 --> 00:13:06.180
 on your behalf.

00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:08.440
 Jesus declares,

00:13:08.980 --> 00:13:10.740
 To this end I was born.

00:13:11.060 --> 00:13:13.680
 For this cause I came into the world.

00:13:14.320 --> 00:13:15.320
 Because you, Peter,

00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:17.460
 and each one of you and me,

00:13:17.820 --> 00:13:20.160
 we all like sheep have gone astray.

00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:22.400
 We have turned every one of us

00:13:22.400 --> 00:13:23.580
 to our own way.

00:13:24.820 --> 00:13:27.000
 But the Father has laid

00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:29.980
 our faithlessness on Christ

00:13:29.980 --> 00:13:33.180
 to prove that he is faithful.

00:13:33.740 --> 00:13:34.620
 Praise be to God.

00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:37.900
 The second reason I see here

00:13:37.900 --> 00:13:39.240
 why God the Son

00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:41.240
 came into the world

00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:43.840
 was to satisfy God's justice

00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:45.460
 in his dying.

00:13:47.820 --> 00:13:49.660
 that you and I may justly live.

00:13:51.240 --> 00:13:52.540
 Sinners deserve death.

00:13:52.700 --> 00:13:54.379
 The wages of sin is death.

00:13:54.700 --> 00:13:55.620
 And God is just.

00:13:56.100 --> 00:13:57.460
 So how could a just God

00:13:57.460 --> 00:13:58.840
 remain just

00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:00.800
 by allowing sinners to live?

00:14:01.180 --> 00:14:02.120
 There's only one way.

00:14:04.020 --> 00:14:04.960
 God the Son.

00:14:05.820 --> 00:14:07.560
 He had to come into the world.

00:14:08.500 --> 00:14:09.940
 And he had to be the one

00:14:09.940 --> 00:14:11.820
 that would satisfy God's justice

00:14:11.820 --> 00:14:13.400
 by dying in your place

00:14:13.400 --> 00:14:13.960
 and in mine.

00:14:13.960 --> 00:14:15.460
 That's the only way

00:14:15.460 --> 00:14:16.100
 that you and I

00:14:16.100 --> 00:14:17.639
 could justly live.

00:14:19.480 --> 00:14:21.100
 Look with me at verse 28.

00:14:22.100 --> 00:14:23.740
 They led Jesus from Caiaphas

00:14:23.740 --> 00:14:25.080
 into the hall of judgment.

00:14:25.820 --> 00:14:26.660
 It was early.

00:14:27.320 --> 00:14:28.200
 They themselves went

00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:29.740
 not into the judgment hall

00:14:29.740 --> 00:14:31.139
 lest they should be defiled.

00:14:31.980 --> 00:14:33.700
 They wanted to eat the Passover.

00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:36.280
 Well, we know that Jesus

00:14:36.280 --> 00:14:37.240
 with his disciples

00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:38.500
 celebrated the Passover

00:14:38.500 --> 00:14:39.960
 the day before.

00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:43.700
 So there are two ways

00:14:43.700 --> 00:14:44.700
 that this can be possible.

00:14:45.620 --> 00:14:46.860
 Because so many people

00:14:46.860 --> 00:14:47.980
 migrated to Jerusalem

00:14:47.980 --> 00:14:49.780
 it was an accepted custom

00:14:49.780 --> 00:14:51.100
 that you would celebrate

00:14:51.100 --> 00:14:52.540
 either on Thursday or Friday.

00:14:53.519 --> 00:14:54.900
 There was also a law

00:14:54.900 --> 00:14:55.639
 in Deuteronomy

00:14:55.639 --> 00:14:57.480
 where the Levites

00:14:57.480 --> 00:14:58.200
 and those of the tribe

00:14:58.200 --> 00:14:58.960
 of Levi that would be

00:14:58.960 --> 00:15:01.540
 administering the public Passover

00:15:01.540 --> 00:15:02.620
 in the temple

00:15:02.620 --> 00:15:04.460
 they would have a special meal

00:15:04.460 --> 00:15:05.580
 and a special celebration

00:15:05.580 --> 00:15:07.220
 on Friday.

00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:08.660
 And so this is potentially

00:15:08.660 --> 00:15:09.720
 what that was as well.

00:15:09.960 --> 00:15:12.220
 But I think what John

00:15:12.220 --> 00:15:13.800
 the Apostle is highlighting here

00:15:13.800 --> 00:15:15.420
 is the irony.

00:15:16.360 --> 00:15:17.740
 The situational irony

00:15:17.740 --> 00:15:21.060
 in the way he uses the language.

00:15:22.639 --> 00:15:24.340
 Irony was a literary technique

00:15:24.340 --> 00:15:25.440
 originally used

00:15:25.440 --> 00:15:27.240
 in ancient Greek culture.

00:15:28.040 --> 00:15:29.300
 When they were describing

00:15:29.300 --> 00:15:30.700
 a tragic life

00:15:30.700 --> 00:15:32.420
 or a hero

00:15:32.420 --> 00:15:33.420
 they would use

00:15:33.420 --> 00:15:34.700
 situational irony.

00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:36.700
 So an example

00:15:36.700 --> 00:15:37.759
 that we can relate to

00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:39.000
 of situational irony

00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:39.580
 would be like

00:15:39.580 --> 00:15:40.539
 the fire station

00:15:40.539 --> 00:15:41.399
 caught on fire.

00:15:42.039 --> 00:15:42.179
 You know

00:15:42.179 --> 00:15:43.120
 or the Supreme Court

00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:44.940
 would not submit themselves

00:15:44.940 --> 00:15:45.879
 to the rule of law.

00:15:46.059 --> 00:15:46.820
 Those types of things

00:15:46.820 --> 00:15:48.220
 would be situational irony.

00:15:50.179 --> 00:15:51.179
 Now let's notice

00:15:51.179 --> 00:15:52.019
 in this passage

00:15:52.019 --> 00:15:52.879
 John mentioned

00:15:52.879 --> 00:15:54.379
 that they led Jesus

00:15:54.379 --> 00:15:56.100
 into the hall

00:15:56.100 --> 00:15:56.820
 of judgment.

00:15:58.259 --> 00:15:59.179
 They wanted to

00:15:59.179 --> 00:16:01.059
 unjustly condemn

00:16:01.059 --> 00:16:03.799
 the only sinless man

00:16:03.799 --> 00:16:05.819
 in their hall of judgment.

00:16:05.819 --> 00:16:08.379
 He who is the creator

00:16:08.379 --> 00:16:09.479
 and judge

00:16:09.479 --> 00:16:10.519
 of all the world.

00:16:12.199 --> 00:16:13.379
 In verse 29

00:16:13.379 --> 00:16:13.979
 we read that

00:16:13.979 --> 00:16:15.259
 after spending time

00:16:15.259 --> 00:16:15.819
 with Jesus

00:16:15.819 --> 00:16:16.379
 Pilate

00:16:16.379 --> 00:16:17.699
 goes back out

00:16:17.699 --> 00:16:19.379
 and he asks them

00:16:19.379 --> 00:16:20.240
 what accusations

00:16:20.240 --> 00:16:21.519
 do you bring against this man?

00:16:21.519 --> 00:16:26.000
 See the Jews

00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:27.659
 are trying to use Pilate

00:16:27.659 --> 00:16:29.980
 in order to

00:16:29.980 --> 00:16:31.179
 to condemn

00:16:31.179 --> 00:16:32.240
 an innocent man.

00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:33.899
 They're thinking

00:16:33.899 --> 00:16:34.699
 that they can be

00:16:34.699 --> 00:16:35.960
 smarter and more clever

00:16:35.960 --> 00:16:36.460
 than God

00:16:36.460 --> 00:16:37.600
 with God's own laws.

00:16:38.159 --> 00:16:38.579
 They're saying

00:16:38.579 --> 00:16:39.639
 our hands will stay clean

00:16:39.639 --> 00:16:40.539
 if we can get this

00:16:40.539 --> 00:16:41.340
 Gentile

00:16:41.340 --> 00:16:41.860
 this man

00:16:41.860 --> 00:16:43.179
 from the Roman Empire

00:16:43.179 --> 00:16:44.679
 to cast the judgment

00:16:44.679 --> 00:16:45.939
 and sentence Jesus

00:16:45.939 --> 00:16:46.819
 though he's innocent

00:16:46.819 --> 00:16:47.679
 to die.

00:16:47.679 --> 00:16:50.279
 The irony is that

00:16:50.279 --> 00:16:52.059
 the people of God

00:16:52.059 --> 00:16:52.939
 were always

00:16:52.939 --> 00:16:54.419
 intended and called

00:16:54.419 --> 00:16:55.779
 to take the good news

00:16:55.779 --> 00:16:56.979
 of God's forgiveness

00:16:56.979 --> 00:16:57.620
 by grace

00:16:57.620 --> 00:16:58.579
 to the nations

00:16:58.579 --> 00:16:59.739
 and here they are

00:16:59.739 --> 00:17:00.500
 trying to condemn

00:17:00.500 --> 00:17:01.079
 the nations

00:17:01.079 --> 00:17:02.159
 putting blood

00:17:02.159 --> 00:17:03.239
 on the hands of Pilate.

00:17:04.779 --> 00:17:05.980
 In verse 31

00:17:05.980 --> 00:17:06.639
 Pilate says

00:17:06.639 --> 00:17:07.220
 take him

00:17:07.220 --> 00:17:08.960
 and judge him

00:17:08.960 --> 00:17:10.279
 according to your own law.

00:17:10.619 --> 00:17:11.519
 It is not just

00:17:11.519 --> 00:17:12.059
 for us

00:17:12.059 --> 00:17:12.960
 to kill

00:17:12.960 --> 00:17:13.799
 a man

00:17:13.799 --> 00:17:14.279
 they say.

00:17:15.319 --> 00:17:15.879
 They're

00:17:15.879 --> 00:17:16.659
 they're telling

00:17:16.659 --> 00:17:17.359
 Pilate

00:17:17.359 --> 00:17:18.599
 we want this man

00:17:18.599 --> 00:17:19.000
 dead.

00:17:19.599 --> 00:17:20.119
 We want

00:17:20.119 --> 00:17:21.500
 capital punishment.

00:17:22.379 --> 00:17:23.579
 We want him to die

00:17:23.579 --> 00:17:25.059
 on a Roman cross

00:17:25.059 --> 00:17:26.639
 and we do not want

00:17:26.639 --> 00:17:27.319
 to be associated

00:17:27.319 --> 00:17:28.659
 with the clear injustice

00:17:28.659 --> 00:17:29.679
 that needs to be done

00:17:29.679 --> 00:17:30.339
 to that man.

00:17:31.000 --> 00:17:31.459
 But Pilate

00:17:31.459 --> 00:17:32.059
 are you going to

00:17:32.059 --> 00:17:32.719
 are you going to

00:17:32.719 --> 00:17:33.599
 play ball with us?

00:17:34.099 --> 00:17:34.899
 You know how powerful

00:17:34.899 --> 00:17:35.639
 we are here.

00:17:36.359 --> 00:17:37.399
 Pilate's a puppet

00:17:37.399 --> 00:17:38.419
 of the Roman Empire.

00:17:39.519 --> 00:17:40.519
 So here they are

00:17:40.519 --> 00:17:41.079
 twisting

00:17:41.079 --> 00:17:42.859
 God's own law

00:17:42.859 --> 00:17:44.240
 the law of the holy God

00:17:44.240 --> 00:17:46.019
 the law of Jesus Christ

00:17:46.019 --> 00:17:47.720
 the whole law

00:17:47.720 --> 00:17:48.420
 was meant to be

00:17:48.420 --> 00:17:48.980
 a shadow

00:17:48.980 --> 00:17:50.319
 of God's work

00:17:50.319 --> 00:17:51.859
 and a picture

00:17:51.859 --> 00:17:52.500
 on earth

00:17:52.500 --> 00:17:53.940
 of his coming kingdom

00:17:53.940 --> 00:17:56.379
 and yet

00:17:56.379 --> 00:17:56.960
 they're twisting

00:17:56.960 --> 00:17:57.639
 that law

00:17:57.639 --> 00:17:58.980
 to put

00:17:58.980 --> 00:18:00.019
 the king

00:18:00.019 --> 00:18:01.420
 on a cross.

00:18:04.220 --> 00:18:05.519
 In verse 32

00:18:05.519 --> 00:18:08.160
 John makes it

00:18:08.160 --> 00:18:09.480
 as clear as can be

00:18:09.480 --> 00:18:12.279
 all of this

00:18:12.279 --> 00:18:14.259
 was by God's providence

00:18:14.259 --> 00:18:14.779
 so that

00:18:14.779 --> 00:18:16.259
 the word of Jesus

00:18:16.259 --> 00:18:17.259
 himself would be

00:18:17.259 --> 00:18:17.700
 fulfilled.

00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:19.460
 It was signifying

00:18:19.460 --> 00:18:20.059
 the death

00:18:20.059 --> 00:18:21.460
 that he should die.

00:18:22.779 --> 00:18:23.740
 The gospels pick up

00:18:23.740 --> 00:18:24.059
 on this.

00:18:24.160 --> 00:18:24.759
 Matthew 20

00:18:24.759 --> 00:18:25.539
 verse 19

00:18:25.539 --> 00:18:27.120
 Jesus tells them

00:18:27.120 --> 00:18:28.440
 the son of man

00:18:28.440 --> 00:18:29.259
 will be handed over

00:18:29.259 --> 00:18:30.339
 to the Gentiles

00:18:30.339 --> 00:18:31.860
 to be mocked

00:18:31.860 --> 00:18:32.799
 and flogged

00:18:32.799 --> 00:18:33.980
 and crucified.

00:18:35.339 --> 00:18:36.460
 And the Jewish law

00:18:36.460 --> 00:18:37.220
 says that cursed

00:18:37.220 --> 00:18:37.799
 is any man

00:18:37.799 --> 00:18:38.960
 who hangs on a tree.

00:18:40.359 --> 00:18:40.779
 And Jesus

00:18:40.779 --> 00:18:42.079
 also said

00:18:42.079 --> 00:18:43.039
 on the third day

00:18:43.039 --> 00:18:44.220
 the Messiah

00:18:44.220 --> 00:18:45.539
 the anointed Savior

00:18:45.539 --> 00:18:46.680
 will rise

00:18:46.680 --> 00:18:47.399
 again

00:18:47.399 --> 00:18:48.240
 to life.

00:18:49.700 --> 00:18:50.399
 John Gill

00:18:50.399 --> 00:18:50.919
 pointed out

00:18:50.919 --> 00:18:52.220
 how God's providence

00:18:52.220 --> 00:18:52.879
 conducted

00:18:52.879 --> 00:18:54.339
 every detail

00:18:54.339 --> 00:18:56.500
 and our Lord Jesus

00:18:56.500 --> 00:18:58.220
 cheerfully submitted

00:18:58.220 --> 00:18:59.079
 in great love

00:18:59.079 --> 00:18:59.940
 to his people

00:18:59.940 --> 00:19:01.619
 to redeem

00:19:01.619 --> 00:19:02.259
 you

00:19:02.259 --> 00:19:03.619
 from the curse

00:19:03.619 --> 00:19:04.919
 by being made

00:19:04.919 --> 00:19:05.619
 a curse

00:19:05.619 --> 00:19:06.539
 for you.

00:19:06.539 --> 00:19:09.960
 I love how

00:19:09.960 --> 00:19:10.399
 this comes

00:19:10.399 --> 00:19:10.960
 from Peter

00:19:10.960 --> 00:19:11.599
 himself

00:19:11.599 --> 00:19:12.659
 who's

00:19:12.659 --> 00:19:13.599
 the failure

00:19:13.599 --> 00:19:14.859
 in this story.

00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:16.159
 In 2 Peter 2

00:19:16.159 --> 00:19:16.680
 24

00:19:16.680 --> 00:19:17.480
 Peter wrote

00:19:17.480 --> 00:19:18.299
 to the church

00:19:18.299 --> 00:19:19.819
 Jesus Christ

00:19:19.819 --> 00:19:21.379
 himself

00:19:21.379 --> 00:19:22.940
 bore our sins

00:19:22.940 --> 00:19:24.000
 in his body

00:19:24.000 --> 00:19:25.119
 on the tree

00:19:25.119 --> 00:19:26.059
 that we might

00:19:26.059 --> 00:19:27.019
 die to sin

00:19:27.019 --> 00:19:28.019
 and live

00:19:28.019 --> 00:19:29.079
 to righteousness.

00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:31.039
 By

00:19:31.039 --> 00:19:32.240
 his wounds

00:19:32.240 --> 00:19:33.480
 we are healed.

00:19:33.480 --> 00:19:35.779
 what comforting

00:19:35.779 --> 00:19:36.579
 words for Peter

00:19:36.579 --> 00:19:37.460
 to meditate on.

00:19:40.539 --> 00:19:41.900
 Jesus is declaring

00:19:41.900 --> 00:19:43.160
 it's to this end

00:19:43.160 --> 00:19:44.579
 that I was born

00:19:44.579 --> 00:19:46.019
 it's for this cause

00:19:46.019 --> 00:19:46.700
 that I came

00:19:46.700 --> 00:19:47.700
 to the world.

00:19:50.079 --> 00:19:51.380
 You all like sheep

00:19:51.380 --> 00:19:52.299
 have gone astray

00:19:52.299 --> 00:19:53.980
 but it pleased

00:19:53.980 --> 00:19:54.480
 the Father

00:19:54.480 --> 00:19:55.640
 to lay on the Son

00:19:55.640 --> 00:19:57.720
 the guilt

00:19:57.720 --> 00:19:58.759
 the death

00:19:58.759 --> 00:19:59.599
 deserving guilt

00:19:59.599 --> 00:20:00.140
 of sinners

00:20:00.140 --> 00:20:01.539
 in your place

00:20:01.539 --> 00:20:02.019
 and mine

00:20:02.019 --> 00:20:03.379
 so that we

00:20:03.379 --> 00:20:04.200
 may justly

00:20:04.200 --> 00:20:04.879
 live.

00:20:06.420 --> 00:20:07.180
 The third

00:20:07.180 --> 00:20:07.720
 reason that

00:20:07.720 --> 00:20:08.279
 God the Son

00:20:08.279 --> 00:20:09.119
 came into

00:20:09.119 --> 00:20:09.619
 the world

00:20:09.619 --> 00:20:11.339
 was to

00:20:11.339 --> 00:20:12.460
 transfer prisoners

00:20:12.460 --> 00:20:14.559
 in darkness

00:20:14.559 --> 00:20:16.220
 into his

00:20:16.220 --> 00:20:17.159
 heavenly kingdom

00:20:17.159 --> 00:20:17.940
 of light.

00:20:18.819 --> 00:20:19.619
 God the Son

00:20:19.619 --> 00:20:20.299
 came into

00:20:20.299 --> 00:20:20.920
 this world

00:20:20.920 --> 00:20:22.000
 to transfer

00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:22.659
 prisoners

00:20:22.659 --> 00:20:24.139
 who are in

00:20:24.139 --> 00:20:25.240
 bondage to

00:20:25.240 --> 00:20:25.759
 sin and Satan

00:20:25.759 --> 00:20:26.279
 in darkness

00:20:26.279 --> 00:20:27.599
 into the

00:20:27.599 --> 00:20:28.359
 kingdom of heaven

00:20:28.359 --> 00:20:28.799
 a kingdom

00:20:28.799 --> 00:20:29.700
 of light.

00:20:29.700 --> 00:20:32.519
 in verse 33

00:20:32.519 --> 00:20:33.160
 we see that

00:20:33.160 --> 00:20:33.940
 Pilate entered

00:20:33.940 --> 00:20:34.799
 into the judgment

00:20:34.799 --> 00:20:36.140
 hall again

00:20:36.140 --> 00:20:37.360
 to address Jesus

00:20:37.360 --> 00:20:39.120
 and he asks him

00:20:39.120 --> 00:20:39.680
 are you

00:20:39.680 --> 00:20:40.880
 the king of the Jews?

00:20:42.559 --> 00:20:43.460
 So there's

00:20:43.460 --> 00:20:43.900
 Pilate

00:20:43.900 --> 00:20:45.360
 standing in

00:20:45.360 --> 00:20:46.160
 the presence

00:20:46.160 --> 00:20:47.140
 of the king

00:20:47.140 --> 00:20:47.660
 of glory

00:20:47.660 --> 00:20:50.940
 and he's

00:20:50.940 --> 00:20:51.799
 questioning him

00:20:51.799 --> 00:20:52.600
 rather than

00:20:52.600 --> 00:20:53.299
 confessing

00:20:53.299 --> 00:20:54.220
 the truth.

00:20:56.220 --> 00:20:57.140
 It's possible

00:20:57.140 --> 00:20:57.799
 for you and me

00:20:57.799 --> 00:20:58.480
 to be like

00:20:58.480 --> 00:20:59.019
 Pilate

00:20:59.019 --> 00:21:00.299
 we're in

00:21:00.299 --> 00:21:00.779
 the presence

00:21:00.779 --> 00:21:01.359
 of the king

00:21:01.359 --> 00:21:01.900
 of glory

00:21:01.900 --> 00:21:03.660
 and rather

00:21:03.660 --> 00:21:04.279
 than bowing

00:21:04.279 --> 00:21:04.660
 our knees

00:21:04.660 --> 00:21:05.240
 and our hearts

00:21:05.240 --> 00:21:05.599
 to him

00:21:05.599 --> 00:21:06.039
 in worship

00:21:06.039 --> 00:21:07.099
 we stand

00:21:07.099 --> 00:21:07.879
 here questioning

00:21:07.879 --> 00:21:08.299
 him.

00:21:08.759 --> 00:21:09.000
 Jesus

00:21:09.000 --> 00:21:09.720
 are you

00:21:09.720 --> 00:21:10.519
 who you

00:21:10.519 --> 00:21:10.920
 say you

00:21:10.920 --> 00:21:11.160
 are?

00:21:12.619 --> 00:21:13.220
 In verse

00:21:13.220 --> 00:21:13.779
 34

00:21:13.779 --> 00:21:14.639
 Jesus said

00:21:14.639 --> 00:21:16.720
 is this

00:21:16.720 --> 00:21:17.039
 what you

00:21:17.039 --> 00:21:17.460
 judged

00:21:17.460 --> 00:21:18.259
 for yourself

00:21:18.259 --> 00:21:19.339
 or did

00:21:19.339 --> 00:21:19.599
 others

00:21:19.599 --> 00:21:20.139
 determine

00:21:20.139 --> 00:21:20.420
 it

00:21:20.420 --> 00:21:21.700
 to you

00:21:21.700 --> 00:21:22.379
 of me?

00:21:24.240 --> 00:21:24.839
 Jesus

00:21:24.839 --> 00:21:25.319
 is being

00:21:25.319 --> 00:21:25.779
 patient

00:21:25.779 --> 00:21:26.400
 with Pilate

00:21:26.400 --> 00:21:28.120
 he's asking

00:21:28.120 --> 00:21:28.640
 Pilate

00:21:28.640 --> 00:21:29.540
 to think

00:21:29.540 --> 00:21:30.220
 for himself

00:21:30.220 --> 00:21:31.920
 you judge

00:21:31.920 --> 00:21:32.720
 for yourself

00:21:32.720 --> 00:21:34.460
 you don't

00:21:34.460 --> 00:21:34.980
 get to be

00:21:34.980 --> 00:21:35.620
 a slippery

00:21:35.620 --> 00:21:36.300
 middle man

00:21:36.300 --> 00:21:38.200
 the king

00:21:38.200 --> 00:21:38.700
 of glory

00:21:38.700 --> 00:21:39.180
 looks you

00:21:39.180 --> 00:21:39.740
 in the eye

00:21:39.740 --> 00:21:41.820
 who am I

00:21:41.820 --> 00:21:42.300
 to you?

00:21:42.740 --> 00:21:43.660
 Who do you

00:21:43.660 --> 00:21:44.900
 say I am?

00:21:45.740 --> 00:21:46.380
 Are you only

00:21:46.380 --> 00:21:46.860
 going off

00:21:46.860 --> 00:21:47.380
 of what others

00:21:47.380 --> 00:21:48.080
 have told you?

00:21:49.840 --> 00:21:50.660
 Pilate's answer

00:21:50.660 --> 00:21:51.680
 reveals his heart

00:21:51.680 --> 00:21:53.799
 in verse

00:21:53.799 --> 00:21:54.360
 35

00:21:54.360 --> 00:21:55.100
 Pilate says

00:21:55.100 --> 00:21:55.680
 am I a

00:21:55.680 --> 00:21:55.920
 Jew?

00:21:59.500 --> 00:22:00.220
 Your own

00:22:00.220 --> 00:22:00.580
 nation

00:22:00.580 --> 00:22:00.920
 and your

00:22:00.920 --> 00:22:01.200
 chief

00:22:01.200 --> 00:22:01.539
 priests

00:22:01.539 --> 00:22:01.720
 have

00:22:01.720 --> 00:22:02.120
 delivered

00:22:02.120 --> 00:22:02.340
 you

00:22:02.340 --> 00:22:03.279
 to me

00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:04.620
 what is

00:22:04.620 --> 00:22:04.740
 it

00:22:04.740 --> 00:22:05.039
 that you

00:22:05.039 --> 00:22:05.200
 have

00:22:05.200 --> 00:22:05.519
 done?

00:22:08.220 --> 00:22:08.700
 See

00:22:08.700 --> 00:22:09.100
 Pilate

00:22:09.100 --> 00:22:09.680
 refused

00:22:09.680 --> 00:22:10.220
 to bow

00:22:10.220 --> 00:22:10.960
 his heart

00:22:10.960 --> 00:22:11.920
 in humility

00:22:11.920 --> 00:22:12.640
 to Jesus

00:22:12.640 --> 00:22:15.000
 and by

00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:15.299
 doing

00:22:15.299 --> 00:22:15.960
 that

00:22:15.960 --> 00:22:16.740
 by remaining

00:22:16.740 --> 00:22:17.160
 proud

00:22:17.160 --> 00:22:17.840
 and standing

00:22:17.840 --> 00:22:18.539
 before him

00:22:18.539 --> 00:22:21.240
 he's missing

00:22:21.240 --> 00:22:21.899
 out on the

00:22:21.899 --> 00:22:22.779
 best news

00:22:22.779 --> 00:22:23.680
 for his

00:22:23.680 --> 00:22:24.379
 body and his

00:22:24.379 --> 00:22:24.940
 soul now

00:22:24.940 --> 00:22:25.399
 and forever

00:22:25.399 --> 00:22:25.740
 more

00:22:25.740 --> 00:22:28.399
 it's possible

00:22:28.399 --> 00:22:29.099
 to be that

00:22:29.099 --> 00:22:29.819
 close to the

00:22:29.819 --> 00:22:30.539
 king of glory

00:22:30.539 --> 00:22:32.180
 and to stand

00:22:32.180 --> 00:22:32.879
 in pride

00:22:32.879 --> 00:22:33.960
 against him

00:22:33.960 --> 00:22:36.339
 missing out

00:22:36.339 --> 00:22:37.319
 on the most

00:22:37.319 --> 00:22:38.259
 glorious news

00:22:38.259 --> 00:22:39.279
 for your

00:22:39.279 --> 00:22:39.740
 soul

00:22:39.740 --> 00:22:40.519
 and your

00:22:40.519 --> 00:22:41.299
 body now

00:22:41.299 --> 00:22:42.240
 and forever

00:22:42.240 --> 00:22:42.639
 more

00:22:42.639 --> 00:22:46.480
 in verse

00:22:46.480 --> 00:22:47.019
 36

00:22:47.019 --> 00:22:47.440
 Jesus

00:22:47.440 --> 00:22:48.820
 declares

00:22:48.820 --> 00:22:50.480
 he is a

00:22:50.480 --> 00:22:50.740
 king

00:22:50.740 --> 00:22:52.539
 Jesus

00:22:52.539 --> 00:22:52.840
 says

00:22:52.840 --> 00:22:53.039
 my

00:22:53.039 --> 00:22:53.360
 kingdom

00:22:53.360 --> 00:22:54.059
 is not

00:22:54.059 --> 00:22:54.880
 of this

00:22:54.880 --> 00:22:55.220
 world

00:22:55.220 --> 00:22:56.180
 if my

00:22:56.180 --> 00:22:56.480
 kingdom

00:22:56.480 --> 00:22:56.980
 were of

00:22:56.980 --> 00:22:57.160
 this

00:22:57.160 --> 00:22:57.519
 world

00:22:57.519 --> 00:22:58.420
 then would

00:22:58.420 --> 00:22:58.680
 my

00:22:58.680 --> 00:22:59.019
 servants

00:22:59.019 --> 00:22:59.340
 not

00:22:59.340 --> 00:22:59.720
 fight

00:22:59.720 --> 00:23:00.860
 I

00:23:00.860 --> 00:23:01.039
 would

00:23:01.039 --> 00:23:01.240
 not

00:23:01.240 --> 00:23:01.400
 be

00:23:01.400 --> 00:23:01.720
 delivered

00:23:01.720 --> 00:23:02.140
 to the

00:23:02.140 --> 00:23:02.539
 Jews

00:23:02.539 --> 00:23:03.299
 my

00:23:03.299 --> 00:23:03.559
 army

00:23:03.559 --> 00:23:03.759
 would

00:23:03.759 --> 00:23:04.120
 stand

00:23:04.120 --> 00:23:04.340
 with

00:23:04.340 --> 00:23:04.539
 me

00:23:04.539 --> 00:23:05.539
 we

00:23:05.539 --> 00:23:05.680
 would

00:23:05.680 --> 00:23:05.860
 not

00:23:05.860 --> 00:23:06.019
 be

00:23:06.019 --> 00:23:06.279
 having

00:23:06.279 --> 00:23:06.500
 this

00:23:06.500 --> 00:23:07.140
 conversation

00:23:07.140 --> 00:23:08.740
 so

00:23:08.740 --> 00:23:09.039
 Jesus

00:23:09.039 --> 00:23:09.480
 says

00:23:09.480 --> 00:23:09.680
 for

00:23:09.680 --> 00:23:09.920
 this

00:23:09.920 --> 00:23:10.380
 reason

00:23:10.380 --> 00:23:11.340
 you

00:23:11.340 --> 00:23:11.519
 can

00:23:11.519 --> 00:23:11.720
 tell

00:23:11.720 --> 00:23:12.220
 clearly

00:23:12.220 --> 00:23:13.259
 my

00:23:13.259 --> 00:23:13.620
 kingdom

00:23:13.620 --> 00:23:14.000
 is

00:23:14.000 --> 00:23:14.220
 not

00:23:14.220 --> 00:23:14.380
 of

00:23:14.380 --> 00:23:14.620
 this

00:23:14.620 --> 00:23:15.000
 world

00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:17.500
 so

00:23:17.500 --> 00:23:17.720
 now

00:23:17.720 --> 00:23:18.019
 Jesus

00:23:18.019 --> 00:23:18.339
 has

00:23:18.339 --> 00:23:18.819
 owned

00:23:18.819 --> 00:23:19.119
 the

00:23:19.119 --> 00:23:19.539
 fact

00:23:19.539 --> 00:23:20.299
 that

00:23:20.299 --> 00:23:20.539
 he

00:23:20.539 --> 00:23:21.000
 is

00:23:21.000 --> 00:23:21.259
 a

00:23:21.259 --> 00:23:21.500
 king

00:23:21.500 --> 00:23:22.460
 he

00:23:22.460 --> 00:23:22.839
 has

00:23:22.839 --> 00:23:23.140
 a

00:23:23.140 --> 00:23:23.480
 kingdom

00:23:23.480 --> 00:23:24.940
 his

00:23:24.940 --> 00:23:25.220
 kingdom

00:23:25.220 --> 00:23:25.460
 is

00:23:25.460 --> 00:23:25.680
 not

00:23:25.680 --> 00:23:25.819
 of

00:23:25.819 --> 00:23:26.019
 this

00:23:26.019 --> 00:23:26.400
 world

00:23:26.400 --> 00:23:28.779
 in

00:23:28.779 --> 00:23:29.019
 another

00:23:29.019 --> 00:23:29.359
 twist

00:23:29.359 --> 00:23:29.519
 of

00:23:29.519 --> 00:23:29.859
 irony

00:23:29.859 --> 00:23:30.279
 his

00:23:30.279 --> 00:23:30.799
 passive

00:23:30.799 --> 00:23:31.400
 surrender

00:23:31.400 --> 00:23:32.279
 to

00:23:32.279 --> 00:23:32.460
 the

00:23:32.460 --> 00:23:32.740
 Jewish

00:23:32.740 --> 00:23:33.180
 leaders

00:23:33.180 --> 00:23:33.900
 and

00:23:33.900 --> 00:23:34.059
 to

00:23:34.059 --> 00:23:34.460
 Pilate

00:23:34.460 --> 00:23:36.200
 it

00:23:36.200 --> 00:23:36.720
 proves

00:23:36.720 --> 00:23:37.099
 his

00:23:37.099 --> 00:23:37.440
 kingdom

00:23:37.440 --> 00:23:37.880
 is

00:23:37.880 --> 00:23:38.019
 of

00:23:38.019 --> 00:23:38.359
 another

00:23:38.359 --> 00:23:38.799
 world

00:23:38.799 --> 00:23:40.940
 in

00:23:40.940 --> 00:23:41.220
 Matthew

00:23:41.220 --> 00:23:41.980
 416

00:23:41.980 --> 00:23:43.000
 quoting

 Isaiah

00:23:43.400 --> 00:23:43.700

00:23:43.700 --> 00:23:44.059
 2

00:23:44.059 --> 00:23:46.000
 we

00:23:46.000 --> 00:23:46.220
 read

00:23:46.220 --> 00:23:46.379
 that

00:23:46.379 --> 00:23:46.679
 Jesus

00:23:46.679 --> 00:23:47.000
 would

00:23:47.000 --> 00:23:47.379
 come

00:23:47.379 --> 00:23:48.440
 to

00:23:48.440 --> 00:23:48.619
 a

00:23:48.619 --> 00:23:48.879
 people

00:23:48.879 --> 00:23:49.379
 dwelling

00:23:49.379 --> 00:23:49.639
 in

00:23:49.639 --> 00:23:50.039
 darkness

00:23:50.039 --> 00:23:50.539
 they

00:23:50.539 --> 00:23:50.720
 would

00:23:50.720 --> 00:23:50.960
 see

00:23:50.960 --> 00:23:51.139
 a

00:23:51.139 --> 00:23:51.480
 great

00:23:51.480 --> 00:23:51.960

00:23:53.379 --> 00:23:53.659
 sun

00:23:53.659 --> 00:23:53.839
 would

00:23:53.839 --> 00:23:54.000
 be

00:23:54.000 --> 00:23:54.539
 dawning

00:23:54.539 --> 00:23:56.059
 in

00:23:56.059 --> 00:23:56.200
 the

00:23:56.539 --> 00:23:57.019
 of

00:23:57.019 --> 00:23:57.379
 death

00:23:57.379 --> 00:23:59.819
 that's

00:23:59.819 --> 00:23:59.940
 why

00:23:59.940 --> 00:24:00.220
 Jesus

00:24:00.220 --> 00:24:00.539
 came

00:24:00.539 --> 00:24:00.720
 to

00:24:09.179 --> 00:24:09.539
 Peter

00:24:09.539 --> 00:24:09.899

00:24:11.220 --> 00:24:11.379
 you

00:24:11.379 --> 00:24:11.559
 a

00:24:11.559 --> 00:24:11.759
 king

00:24:11.759 --> 00:24:12.059
 then

00:24:12.059 --> 00:24:13.759
 Jesus

00:24:13.759 --> 00:24:14.460
 replies

00:24:14.460 --> 00:24:14.940
 you

00:24:14.940 --> 00:24:15.319
 said

00:24:15.319 --> 00:24:15.759
 I

00:24:15.759 --> 00:24:15.879
 am

00:24:15.879 --> 00:24:16.019
 a

00:24:16.019 --> 00:24:16.259
 king

00:24:16.259 --> 00:24:19.279
 see

00:24:19.279 --> 00:24:19.519
 it's

00:24:19.519 --> 00:24:19.960
 possible

00:24:19.960 --> 00:24:20.400
 to

00:24:20.400 --> 00:24:20.539
 be

00:24:20.539 --> 00:24:20.740
 like

00:24:20.740 --> 00:24:21.220
 Pilate

00:24:21.220 --> 00:24:21.960
 and

00:24:21.960 --> 00:24:22.079
 to

00:24:22.079 --> 00:24:22.220
 be

00:24:22.220 --> 00:24:22.559
 so

00:24:22.559 --> 00:24:23.259
 entangled

00:24:23.259 --> 00:24:24.039
 in

00:24:26.920 --> 00:24:27.079
 we

00:24:27.079 --> 00:24:27.559
 live

00:24:27.559 --> 00:24:27.940
 as

00:24:30.920 --> 00:24:31.400
 possible

00:24:31.400 --> 00:24:33.279
 but

00:35:01.579 --> 00:35:02.659
 it's not

00:35:03.380 --> 00:35:03.720
 out

00:35:04.639 --> 00:35:05.059
 because in

 because you

00:35:23.019 --> 00:35:23.599
 are sons

00:35:23.599 --> 00:35:24.340
 God

00:35:24.340 --> 00:35:25.180
 has sent

00:35:25.180 --> 00:35:25.940
 the spirit
