00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.960
 Good morning, everyone.

00:00:04.219 --> 00:00:07.839
 My name is James, and I heard some troubling news recently.

00:00:08.720 --> 00:00:11.480
 The shops were all out of Easter eggs.

00:00:13.540 --> 00:00:15.000
 I know, there was groaning.

00:00:15.339 --> 00:00:17.320
 Thank you, Brian, for sharing my sympathies.

00:00:17.379 --> 00:00:17.900
 I was worried.

00:00:18.140 --> 00:00:18.820
 But don't worry.

00:00:19.559 --> 00:00:21.039
 I've got a way to fix it.

00:00:21.400 --> 00:00:23.900
 We're going to make our own Easter eggs today.

00:00:24.500 --> 00:00:27.300
 I looked up the recipe online,

00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:29.980
 and I've got all the ingredients I believe that we'll need.

00:00:30.280 --> 00:00:31.920
 So, the ingredients.

00:00:33.460 --> 00:00:36.640
 Now, I thought, when I was setting out to make Easter eggs,

00:00:37.460 --> 00:00:39.340
 not everybody can eat Easter eggs,

00:00:39.500 --> 00:00:41.799
 so we're going to have to just be a little bit careful with the ingredients.

00:00:42.060 --> 00:00:44.880
 But the things that I read is that you need sugar.

00:00:45.179 --> 00:00:47.960
 So I've got my sugar from home, just a little bit there.

00:00:48.679 --> 00:00:50.320
 You can tell my wife likes to do some baking.

00:00:51.420 --> 00:00:52.560
 There's cocoa butter.

00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:54.039
 Well, I don't actually know what that is,

00:00:54.140 --> 00:00:57.439
 but I've got buttery margarine spread, so that's close enough.

00:00:58.120 --> 00:00:59.140
 I've got full cream milk.

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:00.920
 Full cream milk.

00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:01.479
 I actually have that.

00:01:01.539 --> 00:01:01.920
 That's good.

00:01:02.740 --> 00:01:04.400
 There's lecithin.

00:01:05.019 --> 00:01:06.640
 Does anybody know what lecithin is?

00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:08.760
 No, nobody knows what that is, so I didn't bring it,

00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:09.859
 because I actually don't have any.

00:01:10.140 --> 00:01:12.920
 It needs cocoa and vanilla.

00:01:13.700 --> 00:01:16.480
 Vanilla flavoring imitation.

00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:17.240
 Okay.

00:01:18.060 --> 00:01:22.900
 But I think one of the problems is a number of people in this world are trying to be healthy,

00:01:23.260 --> 00:01:27.500
 trying to be fit people, and so sugar doesn't really fit into the diet,

00:01:27.600 --> 00:01:29.939
 so I think we probably need to put this one back.

00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:32.340
 We're not going to make chocolate with sugar.

00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:33.080
 And dairy.

00:01:33.960 --> 00:01:36.320
 Is anybody allergic or intolerant to dairy?

00:01:37.020 --> 00:01:37.420
 Yeah.

00:01:38.820 --> 00:01:39.760
 No, I'll put this away.

00:01:39.780 --> 00:01:40.359
 I'll put this away for you.

00:01:40.460 --> 00:01:41.100
 Just for you, Aiden.

00:01:41.099 --> 00:01:41.459
 Okay.

00:01:42.659 --> 00:01:43.239
 So, okay.

00:01:43.319 --> 00:01:43.759
 Here we go.

00:01:44.059 --> 00:01:46.119
 I'm going to make chocolate out of these three ingredients.

00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:49.739
 And I'm definitely not going to make a mess.

00:01:50.039 --> 00:01:50.159
 Okay.

00:01:50.259 --> 00:01:51.099
 So we'll put a bit of...

00:01:51.099 --> 00:01:51.859
 How much cocoa powder?

00:01:52.659 --> 00:01:52.979
 Lots.

00:01:53.099 --> 00:01:53.459
 Lots.

00:01:54.339 --> 00:01:55.119
 Thanks, Libby.

00:01:55.179 --> 00:01:56.239
 I'm so concerned now.

00:01:56.519 --> 00:01:56.739
 Okay.

00:01:56.979 --> 00:01:57.599
 There's a...

00:01:57.599 --> 00:01:59.119
 I don't know if you can see that on the camera.

00:01:59.219 --> 00:01:59.539
 Here we go.

00:02:01.259 --> 00:02:02.199
 Imitation flavoring.

00:02:02.459 --> 00:02:03.599
 I'm thankful for Queen.

00:02:03.759 --> 00:02:05.299
 You know, these guys do wonderful colors.

00:02:05.619 --> 00:02:06.340
 Again, lots?

00:02:10.099 --> 00:02:11.359
 I'm hearing loads.

00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:11.819
 Okay.

00:02:12.020 --> 00:02:12.259
 Okay.

00:02:13.579 --> 00:02:13.979
 Drops.

00:02:14.259 --> 00:02:15.560
 How about a good splash?

00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:16.240
 There we go.

00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:20.079
 And this is going to taste great, isn't it?

00:02:20.079 --> 00:02:21.099
 This is going to be the best.

00:02:21.259 --> 00:02:22.900
 Who needs coals and woolies?

00:02:22.939 --> 00:02:23.680
 They're missing out.

00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:24.319
 I'll tell you what.

00:02:24.519 --> 00:02:27.439
 And then just a good...

00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:30.860
 Just mix that together.

00:02:31.719 --> 00:02:33.079
 Does anybody want to come try this?

00:02:35.300 --> 00:02:37.340
 It's not very good.

00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:40.160
 Now...

00:02:40.160 --> 00:02:41.520
 Oh, it's bitter.

00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:46.460
 There's no sugar in it.

00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:47.400
 There's no sugar in it.

00:02:47.420 --> 00:02:47.820
 Thank you.

00:02:49.820 --> 00:02:51.000
 I'm just going to...

00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:51.300
 Sorry.

00:02:52.300 --> 00:02:54.320
 In our search for the best chocolate,

00:02:54.740 --> 00:02:56.420
 something that everyone could have,

00:02:56.880 --> 00:02:57.600
 something that, you know,

00:02:57.640 --> 00:02:59.000
 people who are allergic to dairy

00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:00.040
 and who are trying to be healthy

00:03:00.040 --> 00:03:01.160
 and not eat sugar...

00:03:02.380 --> 00:03:04.640
 I've taken out some key ingredients.

00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:06.739
 I've watered it down so much

00:03:06.739 --> 00:03:09.259
 so that it's not good for anything.

00:03:09.359 --> 00:03:10.079
 It's not good for eating.

00:03:11.079 --> 00:03:13.819
 I've taken the stuff that's made it good.

00:03:14.959 --> 00:03:18.659
 I wonder, as we come to Easter and the cross,

00:03:19.559 --> 00:03:21.359
 has Easter been watered down?

00:03:22.699 --> 00:03:25.579
 Have we lost awe at Easter?

00:03:26.239 --> 00:03:29.599
 The fear and wonder of Jesus dying in our place.

00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:31.099
 And without fear and wonder,

00:03:31.519 --> 00:03:33.979
 Easter has lost its goodness to us.

00:03:35.079 --> 00:03:36.960
 We lose our fear of God.

00:03:37.139 --> 00:03:38.359
 We lose our need for Jesus.

00:03:38.900 --> 00:03:41.120
 We lose our wonder of God,

00:03:41.419 --> 00:03:42.900
 showing us His amazing grace,

00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:45.299
 and we end up chasing things that look wonderful.

00:03:46.620 --> 00:03:48.319
 Today is Good Friday.

00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:50.859
 And in the weeks leading up to Easter,

00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:53.819
 we've been looking at Jesus' final days.

00:03:54.219 --> 00:03:55.819
 His last supper with His disciples,

00:03:55.939 --> 00:03:56.939
 the Garden of Gethsemane,

00:03:56.939 --> 00:03:58.719
 where He prepared to be crucified.

00:03:59.500 --> 00:04:02.759
 And we've seen that awe that we need to have in God,

00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:06.219
 awe, the combination of fear and wonder.

00:04:07.719 --> 00:04:10.000
 And when we take away these two things,

00:04:10.060 --> 00:04:13.060
 just like taking away crucial ingredients,

00:04:13.479 --> 00:04:15.120
 it just ruins it,

00:04:15.139 --> 00:04:16.279
 and we're left with nothing good.

00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:20.300
 And so as we see the crucifixion of Jesus today,

00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:22.379
 we're going to see two types of responses.

00:04:22.379 --> 00:04:24.680
 We're going to see the wrong response

00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:25.959
 and then the right response

00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:30.180
 as we are called to have fear and wonder,

00:04:30.860 --> 00:04:32.339
 making up awe of God.

00:04:33.180 --> 00:04:34.399
 And the challenge for us today

00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:36.600
 as we seek to restore our awe of God

00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:38.920
 is to check that it's not a watered down,

00:04:39.339 --> 00:04:41.879
 sanitized version with the heart ripped out,

00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:45.759
 with those key ingredients of the crucifixion ripped out.

00:04:45.980 --> 00:04:48.699
 Let me pray for us as we have a look at Matthew 27.

00:04:48.699 --> 00:04:52.259
 Heavenly Father, we thank you for today.

00:04:52.819 --> 00:04:54.620
 We thank you for the chance to stop,

00:04:55.599 --> 00:04:57.339
 to gather as a church,

00:04:58.180 --> 00:05:02.000
 and to remember that your Son died for us.

00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:04.360
 Be with us today, Lord.

00:05:04.719 --> 00:05:10.240
 Remind us afresh of the fear and wonder that we have.

00:05:10.839 --> 00:05:12.459
 Lead us to have awe of you, Lord.

00:05:12.819 --> 00:05:14.339
 We ask this in Jesus' name.

00:05:14.980 --> 00:05:15.279
 Amen.

00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:15.359
 Amen.

00:05:16.500 --> 00:05:17.759
 We're in Matthew 27.

00:05:17.979 --> 00:05:19.799
 Have your Bibles open, please.

00:05:20.199 --> 00:05:23.159
 And we're going to start by seeing the wrong responses to Jesus.

00:05:24.319 --> 00:05:27.379
 Firstly, we're going to see Pilate and his wife.

00:05:27.779 --> 00:05:31.819
 Pilate and his wife both respond to Jesus out of fear.

00:05:32.619 --> 00:05:33.619
 So from verse 19,

00:05:33.919 --> 00:05:35.739
 while Pilate was sitting on the judge's seat,

00:05:35.979 --> 00:05:37.319
 his wife sent him a message.

00:05:37.859 --> 00:05:40.459
 Don't have anything to do with that innocent man,

00:05:40.979 --> 00:05:44.699
 for I have suffered greatly in a dream because of him.

00:05:44.699 --> 00:05:47.740
 Pilate's wife suffered greatly in a dream.

00:05:47.920 --> 00:05:49.939
 We actually don't know any more details than this.

00:05:50.219 --> 00:05:52.000
 I'd really like to know those details.

00:05:52.279 --> 00:05:53.039
 We can fill it in.

00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:54.659
 But all we can say with confidence

00:05:54.659 --> 00:05:59.019
 is that she wanted Pilate to avoid Jesus

00:05:59.019 --> 00:06:01.139
 because he was innocent

00:06:01.139 --> 00:06:05.199
 and because she was afraid of suffering and more suffering.

00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:08.339
 So she's responding to Jesus out of fear.

00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:10.680
 Pilate himself, well, he didn't listen to his wife.

00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:11.699
 That was his first mistake.

00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:15.659
 But instead, motivated by his fear of the crowd,

00:06:15.779 --> 00:06:17.899
 again, he's fearful just like his wife.

00:06:18.099 --> 00:06:19.139
 He's motivated by fear.

00:06:19.620 --> 00:06:20.019
 Verse 20,

00:06:20.019 --> 00:06:29.019
 Verse 24,

00:06:29.019 --> 00:06:31.319
 When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere,

00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:34.219
 but that instead an uproar was starting,

00:06:34.740 --> 00:06:35.419
 he took water.

00:06:35.879 --> 00:06:37.879
 He washed his hands in front of the crowd and said,

00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:40.199
 I am innocent of this man's blood.

00:06:40.819 --> 00:06:42.519
 He said, it is your responsibility.

00:06:43.500 --> 00:06:45.639
 Pilate was the governor of a city,

00:06:45.639 --> 00:06:48.659
 and he would be easily replaced

00:06:48.659 --> 00:06:52.219
 if this city turned into a riot,

00:06:52.719 --> 00:06:53.680
 if there was an uproar.

00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:56.279
 And so he calms it down

00:06:56.279 --> 00:06:59.439
 out of fear of his own position,

00:06:59.899 --> 00:07:01.060
 out of fear of an uproar.

00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:04.339
 He's operating from fear just like his wife.

00:07:05.560 --> 00:07:07.779
 And so Barabbas is released.

00:07:08.919 --> 00:07:11.159
 Jesus is sent to be flogged and crucified.

00:07:12.620 --> 00:07:14.039
 And the soldiers mock Jesus.

00:07:14.040 --> 00:07:15.720
 They dress him up.

00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:17.560
 They pretend that he is the king.

00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:19.000
 And they beat him.

00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:21.020
 Crucifixion is not enough

00:07:21.020 --> 00:07:22.520
 when you are an enemy of Rome.

00:07:22.920 --> 00:07:25.040
 You must be utterly humiliated.

00:07:26.640 --> 00:07:30.379
 He was humiliated so that those who knew him,

00:07:30.500 --> 00:07:31.980
 those who were associated with Jesus,

00:07:32.320 --> 00:07:33.879
 they would want to cut all ties.

00:07:36.060 --> 00:07:37.259
 The Pharisees,

00:07:37.820 --> 00:07:41.100
 those who were calling for Jesus to be killed,

00:07:41.320 --> 00:07:43.540
 they themselves are operating out of fear.

00:07:44.040 --> 00:07:46.760
 They were operating out of fear and self-interest.

00:07:47.660 --> 00:07:49.620
 They wanted Jesus dead because he was too radical.

00:07:50.300 --> 00:07:51.180
 He was countercultural.

00:07:51.900 --> 00:07:53.780
 He was teaching people

00:07:53.780 --> 00:07:55.760
 that they shouldn't be listening to the Pharisees,

00:07:55.800 --> 00:07:57.879
 that the Pharisees actually weren't following God.

00:07:59.280 --> 00:08:01.259
 And so the Pharisees were fearful of the changes

00:08:01.259 --> 00:08:02.580
 that Jesus wanted to bring,

00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:06.280
 to know a God who loved them.

00:08:06.279 --> 00:08:07.779
 And so they killed him.

00:08:08.939 --> 00:08:09.500
 And then,

00:08:10.159 --> 00:08:12.519
 when Jesus was hanging on that cross,

00:08:12.619 --> 00:08:13.619
 they mocked him further.

00:08:13.799 --> 00:08:14.339
 Verse 39,

00:08:14.339 --> 00:08:18.060
 those who passed by hurled insults at him,

00:08:18.699 --> 00:08:20.000
 shaking their heads and saying,

00:08:20.419 --> 00:08:22.139
 you who are going to destroy the temple

00:08:22.139 --> 00:08:23.439
 and build it in three days,

00:08:23.759 --> 00:08:24.619
 save yourself.

00:08:25.339 --> 00:08:26.779
 Come down from the cross.

00:08:27.359 --> 00:08:28.979
 If you are the son of God,

00:08:29.620 --> 00:08:30.099
 in the same way,

00:08:30.159 --> 00:08:30.719
 the chief priests,

00:08:30.839 --> 00:08:31.579
 the teachers of the law,

00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:32.579
 and the elders mocked him.

00:08:32.959 --> 00:08:34.240
 He saved others,

00:08:34.319 --> 00:08:34.779
 they said,

00:08:34.860 --> 00:08:36.539
 but he can't save himself.

00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:38.139
 He's the king of Israel.

00:08:38.139 --> 00:08:40.080
 Let him come down now from the cross

00:08:40.080 --> 00:08:41.720
 and we will believe in him.

00:08:42.319 --> 00:08:43.419
 He trusts in God.

00:08:43.699 --> 00:08:46.199
 Let God rescue him now if he wants him.

00:08:46.659 --> 00:08:47.299
 For he said,

00:08:47.460 --> 00:08:48.659
 I am the son of God.

00:08:49.960 --> 00:08:53.679
 The Pharisees rile up the crowd to mock Jesus

00:08:53.679 --> 00:08:55.980
 and they heap abuse on him.

00:08:57.399 --> 00:08:58.960
 And we see this build up

00:08:58.960 --> 00:09:00.139
 from a number of different people

00:09:00.139 --> 00:09:01.139
 of mocking responses,

00:09:02.159 --> 00:09:04.659
 of fearful responses leading to it.

00:09:05.659 --> 00:09:06.779
 But into this moment,

00:09:06.779 --> 00:09:08.980
 while Pilate,

00:09:09.179 --> 00:09:10.100
 while the Pharisees,

00:09:10.220 --> 00:09:12.159
 while the crowd are all against Jesus,

00:09:12.799 --> 00:09:14.019
 we see the right response.

00:09:14.819 --> 00:09:18.919
 We see that things just cannot stay as they are.

00:09:19.459 --> 00:09:20.899
 We see the heavens respond,

00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:22.220
 we see the earth respond,

00:09:22.379 --> 00:09:24.199
 and we see the right response to Jesus.

00:09:25.199 --> 00:09:26.000
 Verse 45,

00:09:26.379 --> 00:09:29.399
 From noon until three in the afternoon,

00:09:29.879 --> 00:09:31.980
 darkness came over the land.

00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:35.679
 The heavens respond to the son of God

00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:36.919
 dying on the cross.

00:09:37.419 --> 00:09:39.500
 Darkness comes across the land

00:09:39.500 --> 00:09:42.039
 as the people have been unable to see

00:09:42.039 --> 00:09:43.739
 that Jesus is the son of God.

00:09:43.859 --> 00:09:45.419
 It becomes literally dark

00:09:45.419 --> 00:09:50.139
 until Jesus cries out in his final moments.

00:09:52.079 --> 00:09:53.459
 Cries out to his father.

00:09:54.519 --> 00:09:55.019
 Alone,

00:09:56.339 --> 00:09:58.299
 his friends have all fled.

00:09:58.299 --> 00:09:59.819
 He's been betrayed,

00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:01.279
 and mocked,

00:10:01.959 --> 00:10:02.599
 abused,

00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:04.199
 spat on,

00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:05.379
 cursed.

00:10:06.579 --> 00:10:07.799
 But this moment,

00:10:08.559 --> 00:10:11.579
 this is what Jesus had come to do.

00:10:12.759 --> 00:10:14.120
 And in his death,

00:10:14.219 --> 00:10:15.319
 he defeats death.

00:10:15.719 --> 00:10:17.779
 And when he rises on Sunday,

00:10:17.899 --> 00:10:18.959
 he brings life.

00:10:20.019 --> 00:10:22.079
 Not only had the heavens closed over

00:10:22.079 --> 00:10:24.079
 with Jesus on the cross,

00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:25.280
 now the temple

00:10:25.280 --> 00:10:27.540
 that has a massive curtain in it,

00:10:27.860 --> 00:10:29.259
 the curtain is torn in two.

00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:30.520
 This curtain,

00:10:30.660 --> 00:10:32.860
 which was designed to separate God from people

00:10:32.860 --> 00:10:34.040
 and people from God,

00:10:34.280 --> 00:10:35.720
 because God is holy,

00:10:36.100 --> 00:10:37.600
 and only one person a year

00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:39.379
 could go into that innermost place

00:10:39.379 --> 00:10:40.879
 and come in with blood

00:10:40.879 --> 00:10:41.960
 because they were sinful.

00:10:42.639 --> 00:10:44.480
 Now that curtain is torn in two.

00:10:45.379 --> 00:10:47.600
 No sacrifice is ever needed again

00:10:47.600 --> 00:10:48.660
 because the sacrifice

00:10:48.660 --> 00:10:49.900
 has been laid on the cross.

00:10:51.900 --> 00:10:53.620
 That temple is defunct.

00:10:53.620 --> 00:10:55.100
 Its job is done

00:10:55.100 --> 00:10:57.100
 because Jesus,

00:10:57.320 --> 00:10:57.940
 in his death,

00:10:58.299 --> 00:10:59.299
 has defeated death.

00:10:59.419 --> 00:11:00.039
 Verse 51,

00:11:00.460 --> 00:11:01.620
 the earth shook,

00:11:02.700 --> 00:11:03.779
 the rocks split,

00:11:04.139 --> 00:11:05.340
 and the tombs broke open.

00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:06.720
 The bodies of many people

00:11:06.720 --> 00:11:07.399
 who had died

00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:08.419
 were raised to life.

00:11:09.500 --> 00:11:10.659
 They came out of the tombs

00:11:10.659 --> 00:11:11.940
 after Jesus' resurrection

00:11:11.940 --> 00:11:13.700
 and went into the holy city

00:11:13.700 --> 00:11:15.360
 and appeared to many people.

00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:16.879
 The heavens respond

00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:17.799
 by closing over

00:11:17.799 --> 00:11:18.519
 and becoming dark.

00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:19.519
 The earth responds

00:11:19.519 --> 00:11:20.240
 by shaking.

00:11:20.820 --> 00:11:22.100
 Shaking so much so

00:11:22.100 --> 00:11:22.960
 that these tombs

00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:23.600
 open up

00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:25.080
 and Jesus,

00:11:25.259 --> 00:11:25.740
 in his death,

00:11:25.840 --> 00:11:26.480
 defeats death

00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:28.300
 and people who were dead

00:11:28.300 --> 00:11:29.460
 come back to life.

00:11:30.680 --> 00:11:31.600
 Jesus had previously

00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:32.860
 raised people to life,

00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:34.720
 but even in his death,

00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:37.960
 the doors of death

00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:38.900
 are broken open

00:11:38.900 --> 00:11:40.759
 and people are brought back to life.

00:11:40.759 --> 00:11:53.240
 dead people

00:11:53.240 --> 00:11:54.340
 are coming back to life.

00:11:54.340 --> 00:11:56.100
 The temple is torn in two.

00:11:56.480 --> 00:11:57.220
 Jesus' death

00:11:57.220 --> 00:11:58.259
 has shifted everything.

00:11:59.860 --> 00:12:02.019
 And two small groups of people,

00:12:02.580 --> 00:12:03.840
 two small groups of people,

00:12:04.620 --> 00:12:06.600
 see and understand

00:12:06.600 --> 00:12:07.179
 what's happened.

00:12:07.179 --> 00:12:09.359
 verse 55,

00:12:09.819 --> 00:12:11.439
 many women were there

00:12:11.439 --> 00:12:13.359
 watching from a distance.

00:12:14.219 --> 00:12:15.099
 They'd followed Jesus

00:12:15.099 --> 00:12:15.779
 from Galilee

00:12:15.779 --> 00:12:16.959
 to care for his needs.

00:12:17.359 --> 00:12:18.779
 Among them were Mary Magdalene,

00:12:19.539 --> 00:12:19.939
 Mary,

00:12:20.219 --> 00:12:21.559
 the mother of James and Joseph,

00:12:22.139 --> 00:12:22.979
 and the mother

00:12:22.979 --> 00:12:24.079
 of Zebedee's sons.

00:12:24.599 --> 00:12:26.259
 Despite all the men

00:12:26.259 --> 00:12:27.359
 running away,

00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:29.159
 these women

00:12:29.159 --> 00:12:30.239
 have remained faithful.

00:12:30.959 --> 00:12:32.019
 They've seen Jesus

00:12:32.019 --> 00:12:32.959
 in his power

00:12:32.960 --> 00:12:34.519
 and in his humility.

00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:36.639
 And they will see him

00:12:36.639 --> 00:12:37.300
 in his resurrection

00:12:37.300 --> 00:12:38.480
 and they will be the first

00:12:38.480 --> 00:12:40.360
 to proclaim the gospel.

00:12:41.400 --> 00:12:42.300
 And there's one other group,

00:12:42.720 --> 00:12:44.120
 one other small group

00:12:44.120 --> 00:12:45.660
 who has the right response,

00:12:45.759 --> 00:12:47.060
 who sees Jesus

00:12:47.060 --> 00:12:48.700
 for who he is.

00:12:49.139 --> 00:12:49.860
 Verse 54,

00:12:51.000 --> 00:12:52.220
 when the centurion

00:12:52.220 --> 00:12:53.280
 and those with him

00:12:53.280 --> 00:12:54.780
 who were guarding Jesus

00:12:54.780 --> 00:12:56.160
 saw the earthquake

00:12:56.160 --> 00:12:58.019
 and all that had happened,

00:12:58.280 --> 00:12:59.560
 they were terrified.

00:12:59.559 --> 00:13:01.519
 And they exclaimed,

00:13:02.039 --> 00:13:03.919
 surely he was

00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:04.879
 the son of God.

00:13:06.179 --> 00:13:07.199
 The centurion

00:13:07.199 --> 00:13:08.659
 and those guarding him.

00:13:09.119 --> 00:13:10.559
 Well, these are the soldiers

00:13:10.559 --> 00:13:11.579
 of Pilate

00:13:11.579 --> 00:13:12.739
 under Pilate's control.

00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:13.779
 These are the soldiers

00:13:13.779 --> 00:13:15.379
 who had taken Jesus

00:13:15.379 --> 00:13:16.559
 from Pilate,

00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:17.500
 those who had beaten

00:13:17.500 --> 00:13:18.279
 and mocked him,

00:13:18.939 --> 00:13:20.199
 those who had pretended

00:13:20.199 --> 00:13:21.079
 he was the king.

00:13:22.619 --> 00:13:24.099
 Something rocks them

00:13:24.099 --> 00:13:25.059
 to their core.

00:13:26.139 --> 00:13:27.319
 When they saw

00:13:27.319 --> 00:13:27.819
 what had happened,

00:13:27.879 --> 00:13:28.679
 they were terrified.

00:13:29.579 --> 00:13:29.939
 Terror,

00:13:30.139 --> 00:13:31.000
 absolute terror.

00:13:32.439 --> 00:13:34.059
 We have killed him.

00:13:34.819 --> 00:13:36.120
 We've killed the son of God.

00:13:37.019 --> 00:13:37.979
 We are the ones

00:13:37.979 --> 00:13:39.099
 who put Jesus to death.

00:13:39.719 --> 00:13:40.759
 What's going to happen to us?

00:13:41.699 --> 00:13:42.539
 We've seen the heavens

00:13:42.539 --> 00:13:43.059
 close over.

00:13:43.359 --> 00:13:44.719
 We've seen the tombs open up.

00:13:45.079 --> 00:13:46.259
 Is God going to strike us

00:13:46.259 --> 00:13:47.139
 down where we stand?

00:13:49.019 --> 00:13:50.099
 And they exclaim,

00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:51.899
 surely he was

00:13:51.899 --> 00:13:52.779
 the son of God.

00:13:55.359 --> 00:13:56.339
 They have

00:13:56.339 --> 00:13:58.099
 a terrified response

00:13:58.100 --> 00:13:58.600
 of fear,

00:13:58.600 --> 00:14:00.259
 but they also respond

00:14:00.259 --> 00:14:01.000
 with wonder.

00:14:01.639 --> 00:14:02.840
 Surely he was

00:14:02.840 --> 00:14:03.840
 the son of God.

00:14:04.980 --> 00:14:06.300
 They see in his death

00:14:06.300 --> 00:14:07.740
 no ordinary execution.

00:14:09.180 --> 00:14:10.139
 The sun had darkened,

00:14:10.240 --> 00:14:11.159
 the earth had shook,

00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:12.899
 it was no ordinary power.

00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:14.120
 They hadn't heard

00:14:14.120 --> 00:14:14.980
 from an angel

00:14:14.980 --> 00:14:15.820
 or a prophet,

00:14:16.620 --> 00:14:17.460
 but they had seen

00:14:17.460 --> 00:14:18.240
 God's power

00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:18.840
 in Jesus

00:14:18.840 --> 00:14:19.700
 on the cross.

00:14:20.139 --> 00:14:21.540
 And these people

00:14:21.540 --> 00:14:22.820
 had awe.

00:14:22.820 --> 00:14:24.820
 the centurion,

00:14:25.360 --> 00:14:26.260
 the soldiers.

00:14:27.300 --> 00:14:28.660
 They had this combination

00:14:28.660 --> 00:14:30.480
 of fear and wonder.

00:14:30.800 --> 00:14:32.340
 Fear because they realized

00:14:32.340 --> 00:14:34.460
 what they had done.

00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:36.480
 But wonder because

00:14:36.480 --> 00:14:37.640
 what they had heard

00:14:37.640 --> 00:14:38.240
 about Jesus

00:14:38.240 --> 00:14:39.300
 was right all along.

00:14:39.300 --> 00:14:41.160
 He is the son of God.

00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:44.879
 Awe is fear and wonder.

00:14:44.879 --> 00:14:46.460
 And at Easter this year,

00:14:46.519 --> 00:14:47.860
 we run the risk

00:14:47.860 --> 00:14:49.620
 of missing out

00:14:49.620 --> 00:14:51.519
 on these two key ingredients

00:14:51.519 --> 00:14:52.919
 to seeing

00:14:52.919 --> 00:14:54.120
 who Jesus is.

00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:56.179
 There's two things,

00:14:56.340 --> 00:14:57.519
 awe and wonder.

00:14:58.340 --> 00:15:00.019
 When you take away one,

00:15:00.740 --> 00:15:01.980
 you lose awe.

00:15:02.460 --> 00:15:03.620
 And you lose the heart

00:15:03.620 --> 00:15:04.480
 of the good news

00:15:04.480 --> 00:15:05.419
 of Jesus' death

00:15:05.419 --> 00:15:05.980
 on the cross.

00:15:06.340 --> 00:15:07.179
 Because the good news

00:15:07.179 --> 00:15:07.659
 of Easter

00:15:07.659 --> 00:15:08.419
 is a combination

00:15:08.419 --> 00:15:09.059
 of these two,

00:15:09.159 --> 00:15:10.320
 fear and wonder.

00:15:10.320 --> 00:15:13.000
 God is right

00:15:13.000 --> 00:15:14.860
 to punish us.

00:15:15.440 --> 00:15:16.040
 We are right

00:15:16.040 --> 00:15:16.920
 to fear God,

00:15:17.200 --> 00:15:18.280
 fear Him for our sin,

00:15:18.660 --> 00:15:19.460
 for our rebellion.

00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:21.620
 But we don't need

00:15:21.620 --> 00:15:22.280
 to fear Him.

00:15:23.260 --> 00:15:24.220
 Because in His

00:15:24.220 --> 00:15:25.420
 great love for us,

00:15:25.740 --> 00:15:27.160
 His son died

00:15:27.160 --> 00:15:27.840
 in our place.

00:15:28.980 --> 00:15:30.240
 And so we can wonder

00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:31.280
 at His amazing love

00:15:31.280 --> 00:15:31.800
 for us.

00:15:33.660 --> 00:15:34.660
 When we lose

00:15:34.660 --> 00:15:35.900
 the fear of God,

00:15:36.160 --> 00:15:37.680
 we lose the awareness

00:15:37.680 --> 00:15:38.480
 of our sin.

00:15:38.860 --> 00:15:39.420
 My sin,

00:15:39.540 --> 00:15:40.180
 my mistakes,

00:15:40.179 --> 00:15:41.139
 the people I hurt,

00:15:41.719 --> 00:15:42.799
 they just become

00:15:42.799 --> 00:15:43.859
 something to move on from.

00:15:44.059 --> 00:15:44.859
 I'm not going to dwell

00:15:44.859 --> 00:15:45.539
 in my mistakes.

00:15:46.139 --> 00:15:47.139
 I'm not going to consider

00:15:47.139 --> 00:15:48.979
 that I could be at fault.

00:15:49.319 --> 00:15:50.179
 I'm just going to move on.

00:15:50.559 --> 00:15:51.039
 I'm going to hope

00:15:51.039 --> 00:15:52.120
 I don't get cancelled.

00:15:52.779 --> 00:15:54.120
 As long as my sin

00:15:54.120 --> 00:15:56.019
 isn't on a big stage

00:15:56.019 --> 00:15:56.899
 slapping someone

00:15:56.899 --> 00:15:57.439
 in front of an

00:15:57.439 --> 00:15:58.279
 international audience,

00:15:58.679 --> 00:16:00.579
 I can be guaranteed

00:16:00.579 --> 00:16:01.359
 I can escape

00:16:01.359 --> 00:16:02.319
 the repercussions

00:16:02.319 --> 00:16:03.120
 of my own sin.

00:16:03.819 --> 00:16:04.479
 I can hide

00:16:04.479 --> 00:16:05.000
 from my issues.

00:16:05.059 --> 00:16:05.559
 I can be known

00:16:05.559 --> 00:16:06.199
 as a good person.

00:16:06.259 --> 00:16:06.879
 I'm a good guy.

00:16:08.199 --> 00:16:09.599
 Unless I actually

00:16:09.600 --> 00:16:11.120
 ask those closest to me.

00:16:11.740 --> 00:16:13.240
 Or even ask the God

00:16:13.240 --> 00:16:14.180
 who knows me best.

00:16:15.340 --> 00:16:16.200
 In the current

00:16:16.200 --> 00:16:17.040
 political climate

00:16:17.040 --> 00:16:17.899
 as we head towards

00:16:17.899 --> 00:16:18.379
 an election,

00:16:18.860 --> 00:16:19.220
 reporters

00:16:19.220 --> 00:16:20.659
 and politicians

00:16:20.659 --> 00:16:21.440
 on all sides

00:16:21.440 --> 00:16:22.360
 are pulling up

00:16:22.360 --> 00:16:23.440
 the dirt of the past

00:16:23.440 --> 00:16:23.899
 and saying,

00:16:24.100 --> 00:16:24.600
 look at this.

00:16:24.800 --> 00:16:26.080
 This person's terrible.

00:16:26.420 --> 00:16:27.240
 Look at their sin.

00:16:28.700 --> 00:16:29.779
 But can you imagine

00:16:29.779 --> 00:16:31.220
 someone doing that

00:16:31.220 --> 00:16:31.779
 to you?

00:16:33.060 --> 00:16:34.379
 Actually looking through

00:16:34.379 --> 00:16:35.379
 all the people

00:16:35.379 --> 00:16:35.879
 you'd hurt,

00:16:35.879 --> 00:16:37.600
 all of your sin,

00:16:37.759 --> 00:16:38.399
 all of your

00:16:38.399 --> 00:16:39.500
 innermost

00:16:39.500 --> 00:16:41.600
 darkened thoughts

00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:43.340
 and bringing them

00:16:43.340 --> 00:16:44.279
 to the light of day.

00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:46.320
 I'm pretty fearful

00:16:46.320 --> 00:16:47.240
 of that actually happening.

00:16:47.340 --> 00:16:48.340
 That would be terrifying.

00:16:49.840 --> 00:16:50.620
 Terrifying for

00:16:50.620 --> 00:16:51.939
 you to know

00:16:51.939 --> 00:16:53.059
 actually what I'm like.

00:16:55.259 --> 00:16:56.220
 I'm so thankful

00:16:56.220 --> 00:16:56.960
 for my God

00:16:56.960 --> 00:16:58.320
 who knows who I am

00:16:58.320 --> 00:16:59.340
 and yet loves me.

00:17:00.639 --> 00:17:01.600
 God sees

00:17:01.600 --> 00:17:03.159
 all of who we are.

00:17:03.159 --> 00:17:04.720
 He knows

00:17:04.720 --> 00:17:05.559
 how darkened

00:17:05.559 --> 00:17:06.159
 and terrible

00:17:06.159 --> 00:17:07.079
 our hearts are

00:17:07.079 --> 00:17:08.119
 and we can pretend

00:17:08.119 --> 00:17:08.700
 it's fine.

00:17:09.819 --> 00:17:10.680
 We can hide

00:17:10.680 --> 00:17:11.460
 from that

00:17:11.460 --> 00:17:13.460
 but the right response

00:17:13.460 --> 00:17:14.859
 is like the centurions

00:17:14.859 --> 00:17:16.759
 to be terrified

00:17:16.759 --> 00:17:17.539
 before God

00:17:17.539 --> 00:17:19.559
 but also

00:17:19.559 --> 00:17:20.960
 not to stay there.

00:17:21.500 --> 00:17:22.319
 To move

00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:23.000
 to wonder

00:17:23.000 --> 00:17:23.940
 that He would

00:17:23.940 --> 00:17:24.639
 forgive.

00:17:26.099 --> 00:17:27.500
 When we lose

00:17:27.500 --> 00:17:28.619
 wonder

00:17:28.619 --> 00:17:29.819
 at God's

00:17:29.819 --> 00:17:30.460
 amazing love

00:17:30.460 --> 00:17:31.000
 we're just left

00:17:31.000 --> 00:17:31.480
 with fear

00:17:31.480 --> 00:17:32.799
 and so

00:17:32.799 --> 00:17:33.599
 we can seek

00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:34.140
 all kinds

00:17:34.140 --> 00:17:34.960
 of other remedies

00:17:34.960 --> 00:17:36.099
 to make us feel better.

00:17:36.720 --> 00:17:37.360
 I'm just left

00:17:37.360 --> 00:17:37.779
 with fear

00:17:37.779 --> 00:17:38.599
 so I'm going

00:17:38.599 --> 00:17:39.400
 to chase success

00:17:39.400 --> 00:17:41.240
 to bring wonder.

00:17:41.860 --> 00:17:42.380
 I'm going to

00:17:42.380 --> 00:17:43.279
 deal with

00:17:43.279 --> 00:17:44.099
 these issues

00:17:44.099 --> 00:17:44.460
 of fear

00:17:44.460 --> 00:17:44.920
 that I have

00:17:44.920 --> 00:17:45.200
 so I'm going

00:17:45.200 --> 00:17:45.660
 to make myself

00:17:45.660 --> 00:17:46.220
 successful

00:17:46.220 --> 00:17:46.980
 or I'm going

00:17:46.980 --> 00:17:47.579
 to escape.

00:17:47.920 --> 00:17:48.079
 I'm going

00:17:48.079 --> 00:17:48.700
 to chase

00:17:48.700 --> 00:17:50.120
 being wonderful

00:17:50.120 --> 00:17:52.420
 because there is

00:17:52.420 --> 00:17:53.099
 nothing wonderful

00:17:53.099 --> 00:17:53.720
 in life

00:17:53.720 --> 00:17:54.519
 other than God

00:17:54.519 --> 00:17:55.819
 and yet God

00:17:55.819 --> 00:17:56.799
 says be in awe

00:17:56.799 --> 00:17:57.299
 of me.

00:17:58.000 --> 00:17:58.559
 Be fearful

00:17:58.559 --> 00:17:59.620
 because of who you are

00:17:59.619 --> 00:18:00.119
 but wonder

00:18:00.119 --> 00:18:00.779
 because of my

00:18:00.779 --> 00:18:01.500
 amazing grace

00:18:01.500 --> 00:18:01.859
 for you.

00:18:03.679 --> 00:18:04.259
 The cross

00:18:04.259 --> 00:18:05.939
 is the centerpiece

00:18:05.939 --> 00:18:06.639
 of Christianity.

00:18:07.899 --> 00:18:09.019
 When we lose

00:18:09.019 --> 00:18:09.779
 the importance

00:18:09.779 --> 00:18:12.659
 of Easter

00:18:12.659 --> 00:18:13.519
 when we lose

00:18:13.519 --> 00:18:14.739
 both the fear

00:18:14.739 --> 00:18:15.659
 and the wonder

00:18:15.659 --> 00:18:16.559
 it just all

00:18:16.559 --> 00:18:17.119
 falls apart

00:18:17.119 --> 00:18:18.500
 and it can just

00:18:18.500 --> 00:18:19.979
 leave a bitter taste

00:18:19.979 --> 00:18:20.579
 in our mouth.

00:18:21.939 --> 00:18:22.239
 And so what

00:18:22.239 --> 00:18:22.439
 we're going

00:18:22.439 --> 00:18:23.099
 to do right now

00:18:23.099 --> 00:18:23.919
 we're going

00:18:23.919 --> 00:18:24.219
 to seek

00:18:24.219 --> 00:18:24.799
 to restore

00:18:24.799 --> 00:18:25.519
 our awe

00:18:25.519 --> 00:18:26.479
 of God.

00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:27.139
 We're going

00:18:27.139 --> 00:18:27.559
 to do both

00:18:27.559 --> 00:18:28.159
 of those things.

00:18:28.160 --> 00:18:28.680
 We're going

00:18:28.680 --> 00:18:28.940
 to sit

00:18:28.940 --> 00:18:29.340
 in fear

00:18:29.340 --> 00:18:29.759
 of God

00:18:29.759 --> 00:18:30.240
 and we're

00:18:30.240 --> 00:18:30.300
 going

00:18:30.300 --> 00:18:30.600
 to sit

00:18:30.600 --> 00:18:31.180
 in wonder

00:18:31.180 --> 00:18:32.060
 and praise

00:18:32.060 --> 00:18:32.560
 of God.

00:18:33.340 --> 00:18:33.620
 We're going

00:18:33.620 --> 00:18:34.140
 to come

00:18:34.140 --> 00:18:34.779
 to a time

00:18:34.779 --> 00:18:35.700
 of the Lord's

00:18:35.700 --> 00:18:36.240
 Supper now

00:18:36.240 --> 00:18:38.200
 and we're going

00:18:38.200 --> 00:18:39.740
 to in a moment

00:18:39.740 --> 00:18:40.600
 say a confession

00:18:40.600 --> 00:18:41.019
 together,

00:18:41.519 --> 00:18:42.519
 celebrate the Lord's

00:18:42.519 --> 00:18:42.759
 Supper

00:18:42.759 --> 00:18:45.160
 and then we are

00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:45.840
 going to stand

00:18:45.840 --> 00:18:47.180
 and sing praise

00:18:47.180 --> 00:18:48.279
 and be in wonder

00:18:48.279 --> 00:18:48.860
 for our God.

00:18:49.340 --> 00:18:50.080
 So a confession

00:18:50.080 --> 00:18:50.900
 is going to come

00:18:50.900 --> 00:18:51.519
 up on the screen.

00:18:58.160 --> 00:19:02.100
 Let's say

00:19:02.100 --> 00:19:02.740
 this confession

00:19:02.740 --> 00:19:03.340
 together.

00:19:04.900 --> 00:19:06.080
 Almighty God,

00:19:06.759 --> 00:19:07.860
 Father of our

00:19:07.860 --> 00:19:08.540
 Lord Jesus

00:19:08.540 --> 00:19:09.100
 Christ,

00:19:09.580 --> 00:19:10.620
 you made

00:19:10.620 --> 00:19:11.420
 all things

00:19:11.420 --> 00:19:12.740
 and you call

00:19:12.740 --> 00:19:13.560
 everyone to

00:19:13.560 --> 00:19:13.980
 account.

00:19:14.940 --> 00:19:15.820
 With shame

00:19:15.820 --> 00:19:16.580
 we confess

00:19:16.580 --> 00:19:17.400
 the sins

00:19:17.400 --> 00:19:17.800
 we have

00:19:17.800 --> 00:19:18.279
 committed

00:19:18.279 --> 00:19:19.200
 against you

00:19:19.200 --> 00:19:20.600
 in thought,

00:19:21.019 --> 00:19:21.700
 word and

00:19:21.700 --> 00:19:22.019
 deed.

00:19:23.019 --> 00:19:23.960
 We rightly

00:19:23.960 --> 00:19:24.960
 deserve your

00:19:24.960 --> 00:19:25.740
 condemnation.

00:19:25.740 --> 00:19:27.380
 we turn

00:19:27.380 --> 00:19:27.839
 from our

00:19:27.839 --> 00:19:28.359
 sins

00:19:28.359 --> 00:19:29.240
 and are

00:19:29.240 --> 00:19:29.960
 truly sorry

00:19:29.960 --> 00:19:30.440
 for them.

00:19:31.220 --> 00:19:31.920
 They are

00:19:31.920 --> 00:19:32.519
 a burden

00:19:32.519 --> 00:19:33.200
 we cannot

00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:33.660
 bear.

00:19:34.380 --> 00:19:35.099
 Have mercy

00:19:35.099 --> 00:19:35.720
 on us,

00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:36.799
 most merciful

00:19:36.799 --> 00:19:37.299
 Father,

00:19:38.279 --> 00:19:39.200

00:19:39.200 --> 00:19:39.720
 of your

00:19:39.720 --> 00:19:40.160
