WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.339 I've been involved in ministry now for about 25 years. 00:00:06.339 --> 00:00:13.080 And one of the things, the overwhelming hurts that happens in ministry 00:00:13.080 --> 00:00:20.359 that I don't think, even after 25 years, you don't get over and it hurts every time, 00:00:20.940 --> 00:00:29.160 is people who make decisions, who are putting Jesus clearly to one side in their life. 00:00:29.160 --> 00:00:33.460 And you see people making decisions for something against Jesus. 00:00:33.980 --> 00:00:40.340 Or people who are confronted with real difficulty in their life 00:00:40.340 --> 00:00:46.420 and who walk away from Jesus as a result of that real difficulty 00:00:46.420 --> 00:00:52.519 because of the assumption that God's not in control or that he's not good in that moment. 00:00:52.519 --> 00:00:57.859 Either way, it's someone who once confessed a relationship with Jesus 00:00:57.859 --> 00:01:02.840 who would move away from him because of decision or because of difficulty in some way. 00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:06.920 As a pastor who wants to see people flourishing in a relationship with Jesus 00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:11.819 and putting Jesus at the center of life, that is a pain that just endures. 00:01:12.260 --> 00:01:17.200 And it has happened so much over 25 years. 00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:25.480 One thing that it's taught me is that presumption is always dangerous for anyone who follows Jesus. 00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:31.340 I, as many have done so as they've sat in churches and been Christian for years, 00:01:31.960 --> 00:01:35.320 have seen many fall away over that time 00:01:35.320 --> 00:01:41.240 because they've ultimately not understood what it is to follow Jesus, 00:01:41.340 --> 00:01:44.840 not actually understood what it means to actually be a Christian. 00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:49.100 That's partly because in the Western world especially, 00:01:49.820 --> 00:01:58.880 there's this dangerous assumption that to follow Jesus or to be Christian 00:01:58.880 --> 00:02:02.120 means that you have to work hard at being really good. 00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:08.920 And it means that you believe that God exists to serve me 00:02:08.920 --> 00:02:14.259 by helping me feel good and feel happy and feel secure and at peace in life. 00:02:14.259 --> 00:02:15.840 That's God's goal for me. 00:02:15.899 --> 00:02:16.879 That's his job for me. 00:02:16.939 --> 00:02:20.979 And also believing that even though God made the world 00:02:20.979 --> 00:02:22.799 and he controls everything in the world, 00:02:22.899 --> 00:02:25.419 he's only active and involved in the world 00:02:25.419 --> 00:02:29.139 whenever I need him to resolve a problem for me. 00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:33.899 And the rest of the time, his job is to stay out of my way, 00:02:34.039 --> 00:02:35.939 except for a Sunday, for an hour or so on Sunday, 00:02:36.019 --> 00:02:37.519 and it may be a Bible study group and stuff like that, 00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:41.299 but predominantly stay out of my way except when I need him to help. 00:02:41.300 --> 00:02:49.060 Now, the technical term for those three things is moralistic therapeutic deism. 00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:51.580 That's the technical term for it, 00:02:51.660 --> 00:02:57.560 and it's actually an heresy that has dominated in the Western world. 00:03:00.200 --> 00:03:07.120 That view of Christianity is ultimately a rejection of Jesus 00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:09.480 and a rejection of the Christian faith. 00:03:09.479 --> 00:03:15.419 It's a total misunderstanding of who Jesus is and what Jesus came to do. 00:03:15.959 --> 00:03:19.139 And so to be clear on what it means to be a follower of Jesus, 00:03:20.139 --> 00:03:23.579 we must be clear on who he is, 00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:26.139 what he came to do, 00:03:27.399 --> 00:03:29.500 and what he requires of me. 00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:31.359 You need to be clear on those things. 00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:35.160 And we've seen it in 13 weeks now, 00:03:35.260 --> 00:03:36.940 or 12 weeks now in Mark's gospel, 00:03:37.180 --> 00:03:40.020 we've seen it again and again and again. 00:03:41.060 --> 00:03:42.620 The answer to those questions. 00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:44.300 And so I'm going to kind of wrap it up 00:03:44.300 --> 00:03:47.560 as we bring a closure to this series 00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:50.260 and bring clarity on that once again. 00:03:51.420 --> 00:03:52.840 So if you've got your Bibles open, 00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:53.740 Mark 14, 00:03:53.740 --> 00:03:56.520 we're going to begin in chapter 13. 00:03:57.480 --> 00:03:58.879 And chapter 13, 00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:01.560 verses 32 to 37, 00:04:02.200 --> 00:04:05.140 set the scene for 14, 00:04:05.340 --> 00:04:06.040 chapter 14. 00:04:06.580 --> 00:04:08.060 And what you notice there 00:04:08.060 --> 00:04:09.540 is the repetitiveness 00:04:09.540 --> 00:04:12.080 of statements like, 00:04:12.420 --> 00:04:13.180 be on your guard, 00:04:13.620 --> 00:04:14.280 be alert, 00:04:14.580 --> 00:04:15.280 keep watch, 00:04:15.740 --> 00:04:17.019 don't sleep. 00:04:17.019 --> 00:04:17.519 Be ready, 00:04:17.919 --> 00:04:20.180 be alert, 00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:22.719 because what Jesus is saying here 00:04:22.719 --> 00:04:23.519 to his disciples 00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:26.199 is it's going to be tough. 00:04:26.919 --> 00:04:27.139 Now, 00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:28.240 these are the disciples 00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:30.579 who have been with Jesus 00:04:30.579 --> 00:04:31.479 and they were saying, 00:04:31.699 --> 00:04:32.299 we're with you, 00:04:32.359 --> 00:04:32.740 Jesus. 00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:34.579 And they're with you, 00:04:34.659 --> 00:04:35.819 especially Jesus, 00:04:35.819 --> 00:04:39.000 when all this powerful stuff 00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:42.419 has happened in Mark 1 to 9, 00:04:42.620 --> 00:04:44.379 where he's healed dead people 00:04:44.379 --> 00:04:46.060 and he's driven out demons 00:04:46.060 --> 00:04:47.259 and he's raised the dead 00:04:47.259 --> 00:04:49.139 and done miraculous things, 00:04:49.280 --> 00:04:49.879 powerful things 00:04:49.879 --> 00:04:50.500 and people have gone, 00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:50.860 wow, 00:04:50.939 --> 00:04:52.040 this is amazing stuff. 00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:53.180 And the disciples 00:04:53.180 --> 00:04:54.500 have kind of followed Jesus 00:04:54.500 --> 00:04:54.800 like, 00:04:54.879 --> 00:04:55.780 Jesus is with us, 00:04:55.899 --> 00:04:57.100 we're with him kind of thing, 00:04:57.519 --> 00:04:58.780 we're just kind of 00:04:58.780 --> 00:05:00.000 almost as powerful as he is. 00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:02.120 And now he's saying to them, 00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:05.120 kind of switching tone 00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:05.920 a little bit now 00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:06.399 and saying, 00:05:06.579 --> 00:05:07.340 keep watch, 00:05:08.019 --> 00:05:09.019 be on your guard, 00:05:09.819 --> 00:05:11.019 don't be afraid. 00:05:11.420 --> 00:05:11.600 Now, 00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:12.259 when everyone says, 00:05:12.459 --> 00:05:12.879 don't be afraid, 00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:13.160 you go, 00:05:13.300 --> 00:05:13.939 what do you mean? 00:05:14.019 --> 00:05:14.840 We're afraid of what? 00:05:14.839 --> 00:05:15.199 You know, 00:05:15.739 --> 00:05:16.119 and this is, 00:05:16.259 --> 00:05:17.239 don't be afraid 00:05:17.239 --> 00:05:18.899 when you're persecuted 00:05:18.899 --> 00:05:20.079 and put on trial 00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:21.099 for my sake. 00:05:22.859 --> 00:05:23.239 It's like, 00:05:23.479 --> 00:05:23.619 well, 00:05:23.619 --> 00:05:24.379 this is a tone, 00:05:24.819 --> 00:05:25.479 change, 00:05:25.619 --> 00:05:26.560 shift the gear for Jesus 00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:27.959 and then straight away, 00:05:28.039 --> 00:05:28.799 what you see 00:05:28.799 --> 00:05:30.899 as you come into chapter 14 00:05:30.899 --> 00:05:32.939 is that the chief priests 00:05:32.939 --> 00:05:34.459 and the teacher of the law 00:05:34.459 --> 00:05:35.979 are waiting to do 00:05:35.979 --> 00:05:37.319 exactly to that, 00:05:37.679 --> 00:05:39.799 to Jesus that. 00:05:39.939 --> 00:05:41.179 They're wanting to kill Jesus. 00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:42.099 So have a look, 00:05:42.159 --> 00:05:42.919 verse one there. 00:05:42.920 --> 00:05:43.400 Now, 00:05:43.500 --> 00:05:44.640 the Passover 00:05:44.640 --> 00:05:46.840 and the Feast of Unleavened Bread, 00:05:47.379 --> 00:05:48.879 which are the two major, 00:05:49.879 --> 00:05:53.319 or the major collected feasts 00:05:53.319 --> 00:05:54.520 for the highlight, 00:05:54.620 --> 00:05:55.000 if you like, 00:05:55.020 --> 00:05:56.000 of the Jewish religion. 00:05:56.319 --> 00:05:57.600 This is the pinnacle for them. 00:05:57.660 --> 00:05:58.800 This is their Christmas, 00:05:58.920 --> 00:05:59.879 Easter kind of thing. 00:06:01.000 --> 00:06:02.500 And they were two days away 00:06:02.500 --> 00:06:04.160 and the chief priests 00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:05.100 and the teachers of the law 00:06:05.100 --> 00:06:07.220 were looking for some sly way 00:06:07.220 --> 00:06:08.939 to arrest Jesus 00:06:08.939 --> 00:06:10.259 and kill him, 00:06:10.259 --> 00:06:11.659 but not during the feast, 00:06:11.740 --> 00:06:12.120 they said, 00:06:12.180 --> 00:06:13.199 or the people may write. 00:06:13.719 --> 00:06:15.079 That's their major concern 00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:17.099 is that people may write 00:06:17.099 --> 00:06:18.439 during the feast. 00:06:18.819 --> 00:06:19.360 Not the fact that 00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:20.240 they're going to murder someone, 00:06:20.379 --> 00:06:21.539 they're just concerned 00:06:21.539 --> 00:06:22.740 that people might write. 00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:24.339 Now, 00:06:24.420 --> 00:06:25.240 we already know 00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:26.319 in Mark 4, 00:06:26.459 --> 00:06:27.259 throughout Mark, 00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:29.680 that Jesus is on the death list 00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:31.039 of the power brokers. 00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:32.879 And this became 00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:34.379 their particular passion 00:06:34.379 --> 00:06:35.899 in Mark 11 00:06:35.899 --> 00:06:37.239 when Jesus pronounced 00:06:37.239 --> 00:06:39.000 judgment on the temple 00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:40.259 and the religious establishment. 00:06:41.479 --> 00:06:42.879 And so the time has now come 00:06:42.879 --> 00:06:44.259 for them to put their plan 00:06:44.259 --> 00:06:45.000 into action, 00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:46.419 but because of the feast, 00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:47.419 because they've got 00:06:47.419 --> 00:06:49.120 this major religious ceremony 00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:50.519 they've got to be partaking in, 00:06:50.799 --> 00:06:51.739 they've got two days 00:06:51.739 --> 00:06:53.079 in order to do their dirty work. 00:06:53.799 --> 00:06:54.620 It's kind of like, 00:06:55.139 --> 00:06:55.679 come on guys, 00:06:55.899 --> 00:06:56.299 quick, quick, 00:06:56.419 --> 00:06:57.139 hurry up the plan, 00:06:57.259 --> 00:06:58.339 two days to murder Jesus 00:06:58.339 --> 00:06:59.439 so that we can get to communion. 00:07:00.019 --> 00:07:01.299 Kind of seems like 00:07:01.299 --> 00:07:02.259 a bit of a disconnect here 00:07:02.259 --> 00:07:02.679 a little bit. 00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:06.980 And while they're plotting this, 00:07:07.819 --> 00:07:09.160 Jesus and his mates 00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:10.420 are in Bethany 00:07:10.420 --> 00:07:12.819 for a pleasant evening 00:07:12.819 --> 00:07:13.660 or so it would appear. 00:07:14.439 --> 00:07:15.439 And as they're reclining 00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:16.079 at the table, 00:07:16.220 --> 00:07:18.600 they witness a remarkable event. 00:07:18.759 --> 00:07:18.939 It says, 00:07:19.019 --> 00:07:20.780 a woman came with an alabaster jar 00:07:20.780 --> 00:07:22.259 of very expensive perfume, 00:07:22.740 --> 00:07:23.879 made a pure nard. 00:07:24.019 --> 00:07:25.079 She broke the jar 00:07:25.079 --> 00:07:26.860 and she poured the perfume 00:07:26.860 --> 00:07:27.840 on his head. 00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:30.079 If you flipped over 00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:31.399 to John chapter 12, 00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:32.139 verse 3, 00:07:32.139 --> 00:07:32.939 you will notice 00:07:32.939 --> 00:07:33.659 that this woman 00:07:33.659 --> 00:07:35.039 is Mary, 00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:37.199 the sister of Lazarus. 00:07:39.039 --> 00:07:39.639 Mary 00:07:39.639 --> 00:07:41.919 unexpectedly 00:07:41.919 --> 00:07:43.860 approached her 00:07:43.860 --> 00:07:44.860 reclining lord 00:07:44.860 --> 00:07:46.839 carrying a priceless jar 00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:48.919 of imported perfume, 00:07:49.079 --> 00:07:51.860 possibly a family heirloom. 00:07:53.159 --> 00:07:54.319 She breaks the neck 00:07:54.319 --> 00:07:55.099 of the flask. 00:07:55.779 --> 00:07:57.180 She pours a generous portion 00:07:57.180 --> 00:07:58.120 on Jesus' head 00:07:58.120 --> 00:07:59.540 which is anointing him 00:07:59.540 --> 00:08:02.800 as both king 00:08:02.800 --> 00:08:04.060 and for burial 00:08:04.060 --> 00:08:06.379 and then poured the rest 00:08:06.379 --> 00:08:08.000 on his feet 00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:08.819 as an act 00:08:08.819 --> 00:08:10.079 of cleansing his feet, 00:08:10.399 --> 00:08:11.259 acknowledging that 00:08:11.259 --> 00:08:13.480 she is his servant. 00:08:14.920 --> 00:08:16.480 John 12 tells us 00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:17.199 that she then 00:08:17.199 --> 00:08:19.220 humbly wiped 00:08:19.220 --> 00:08:20.920 his feet clean 00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:21.860 with her hair. 00:08:22.899 --> 00:08:24.040 She evidently 00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:24.600 had enough. 00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:27.520 this moment 00:08:27.520 --> 00:08:28.060 here 00:08:28.060 --> 00:08:30.620 was 00:08:30.620 -->

--> 00:08:39.159 And in fact, 00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:40.100 as strong 00:08:40.100 --> 00:08:40.659 as an act 00:08:40.659 --> 00:08:41.180 of devotion 00:08:41.180 --> 00:08:42.100 as you will find 00:08:42.100 --> 00:08:42.820 anywhere 00:08:42.820 --> 00:08:44.379 in the Bible. 00:08:44.379 --> 00:08:46.639 this woman 00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:48.419 takes her 00:08:48.419 --> 00:08:49.200
