00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.060
 Pilate said to them,

00:00:03.060 --> 00:00:06.700
 Take him yourselves and judge him by your own law.

00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:07.839
 The Jews said to him,

00:00:07.839 --> 00:00:10.599
 It is not lawful for us to put anyone to death.

00:00:10.960 --> 00:00:13.519
 This was to fulfill the word that Jesus had spoken

00:00:13.519 --> 00:00:13.519


00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:33.340
 They are men that had hated Jesus for a number of years

00:00:33.340 --> 00:00:36.520
 and here they finally had seen this opportunity

00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:38.399
 around the time of the Passover

00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:41.079
 to take him into capture

00:00:41.079 --> 00:00:44.640
 and to bring him before the Sanhedrin to be judged.

00:00:46.060 --> 00:00:49.760
 That judgment had taken place in an illegal fashion

00:00:49.760 --> 00:00:53.460
 and the accusations brought against him entirely trumped up

00:00:53.460 --> 00:00:56.060
 and they had failed miserably

00:00:56.060 --> 00:00:58.039
 for most of the part of that evening

00:00:58.039 --> 00:01:01.200
 in bringing any kind of accusation that would stick.

00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:05.000
 You'll remember if you go back in the synoptic gospels

00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:06.939
 that you'll find one after another came

00:01:06.939 --> 00:01:08.620
 and brought false accusation

00:01:08.620 --> 00:01:10.039
 and it completely discredited

00:01:10.039 --> 00:01:13.219
 and even the Jewish leaders with their hatred

00:01:13.219 --> 00:01:16.120
 couldn't really find anything

00:01:16.120 --> 00:01:19.599
 that they could wrap their thinking around

00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:23.579
 and bring just cause for murdering Jesus.

00:01:24.579 --> 00:01:27.500
 Now realize that earlier on

00:01:27.500 --> 00:01:29.420
 they had wanted to kill Jesus

00:01:29.420 --> 00:01:31.340
 and there had been various attempts.

00:01:31.500 --> 00:01:31.780
 Remember?

00:01:32.420 --> 00:01:33.739
 In one particular instance

00:01:33.739 --> 00:01:37.120
 they had tried to take him to the height of a place

00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:37.900
 and throw him off

00:01:37.900 --> 00:01:39.480
 and he just kind of walked through the crowd

00:01:39.480 --> 00:01:40.099
 and disappeared.

00:01:41.739 --> 00:01:44.159
 And they had often desired

00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:45.740
 some way or another

00:01:45.740 --> 00:01:47.299
 to put Jesus to death

00:01:47.299 --> 00:01:49.460
 because he was an irritation

00:01:49.460 --> 00:01:50.680
 he was embarrassing

00:01:50.680 --> 00:01:51.780
 I mean can you imagine

00:01:51.780 --> 00:01:54.500
 these Bible scholars that they were

00:01:54.500 --> 00:01:56.959
 when Jesus would put them on the spot

00:01:56.959 --> 00:01:57.420
 by...

00:01:57.420 --> 00:01:58.560
 Here's his favorite one

00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:00.180
 Have you never read?

00:02:02.340 --> 00:02:03.859
 Have you never read?

00:02:04.180 --> 00:02:05.500
 I mean these were guys

00:02:05.500 --> 00:02:08.280
 that knew the Old Testament law

00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:10.719
 by each word

00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:12.080
 and they could recite it

00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:14.340
 they knew exactly what the Old Testament law

00:02:14.340 --> 00:02:16.039
 and he would just nail them.

00:02:16.920 --> 00:02:18.460
 Have you never read?

00:02:18.460 --> 00:02:21.659
 And he seemed to specialize

00:02:21.659 --> 00:02:23.580
 in embarrassing them publicly

00:02:23.580 --> 00:02:25.840
 I mean it's not like he drew them aside

00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:26.460
 and said by the way

00:02:26.460 --> 00:02:27.860
 you may want to bone up

00:02:27.860 --> 00:02:29.000
 on your Deuteronomy here

00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:29.760
 you know it's like

00:02:29.760 --> 00:02:31.200
 put them out on the spot

00:02:31.200 --> 00:02:31.900
 and they hated him

00:02:31.900 --> 00:02:33.020
 they wanted to kill him

00:02:33.020 --> 00:02:36.000
 they couldn't find a moment to do it

00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:37.560
 and they were afraid of the crowd.

00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:40.980
 Finally they had been able to bring

00:02:40.980 --> 00:02:43.120
 and don't think that Pilate

00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:45.120
 didn't have a part to play in this

00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:47.400
 there's nothing that took place

00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:48.420
 in Jerusalem

00:02:48.420 --> 00:02:51.439
 that Pilate didn't know about.

00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:53.900
 I shouldn't say nothing

00:02:53.900 --> 00:02:55.200
 that's an overstatement

00:02:55.200 --> 00:02:57.620
 but he pretty well knew

00:02:57.620 --> 00:02:58.780
 what was happening politically

00:02:58.780 --> 00:03:01.039
 and particularly during the time

00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:01.599
 of the Passover

00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:02.860
 which was a time that

00:03:02.860 --> 00:03:04.640
 the Jews had a tendency

00:03:04.640 --> 00:03:06.219
 of getting pretty riled up

00:03:06.219 --> 00:03:08.659
 here was Pilate

00:03:08.659 --> 00:03:11.020
 with his Roman soldiers

00:03:11.020 --> 00:03:12.599
 in the midst of Jerusalem

00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:14.080
 and he knew what was going on

00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:14.880
 soldiers came

00:03:14.880 --> 00:03:15.719
 a cohort

00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:16.719
 you remember when Pastor

00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:17.620
 was preaching on that

00:03:17.620 --> 00:03:19.700
 I didn't know that a cohort

00:03:19.700 --> 00:03:21.020
 was 600 some men

00:03:21.020 --> 00:03:22.160
 now there may have been

00:03:22.160 --> 00:03:23.480
 a few less that showed up

00:03:23.480 --> 00:03:24.800
 but they didn't happen

00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:26.600
 to kind of troop across town

00:03:26.600 --> 00:03:27.360
 to take Jesus

00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:28.500
 without Pilate knowing

00:03:28.500 --> 00:03:30.560
 and so here we have

00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:32.620
 these religious hypocrites

00:03:32.620 --> 00:03:33.620
 who are trying to bring

00:03:33.620 --> 00:03:35.360
 charges against Jesus

00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:37.620
 and they finally ended up

00:03:37.620 --> 00:03:38.800
 having the opportunity

00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:40.800
 of saying he's blasphemed

00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:42.380
 now how did that happen?

00:03:42.379 --> 00:03:44.319
 you remember that

00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:46.039
 the high priest had said

00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:47.340
 art thou the Messiah

00:03:47.340 --> 00:03:48.579
 the son of the living God

00:03:48.579 --> 00:03:49.659
 and Jesus said

00:03:49.659 --> 00:03:50.879
 yep you're right

00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:51.780
 thou hast said

00:03:51.780 --> 00:03:53.519
 and oh that was it

00:03:53.519 --> 00:03:55.879
 opportunity to accuse him

00:03:55.879 --> 00:03:57.659
 of claiming to be God

00:03:57.659 --> 00:03:59.840
 and deserving of death

00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:02.060
 there was a problem

00:04:02.060 --> 00:04:05.259
 they didn't have

00:04:05.259 --> 00:04:06.800
 the legal authority

00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:09.199
 of executing him publicly

00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:11.319
 and doing so in such a fashion

00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:12.199
 that would have been

00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:13.519
 a complete embarrassment

00:04:13.519 --> 00:04:15.599
 to Jesus and to his disciples

00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:19.139
 and so they were required

00:04:19.139 --> 00:04:21.360
 by Roman law

00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:22.839
 to bring this person

00:04:22.839 --> 00:04:24.480
 who they had an accusation against

00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:25.480
 to Pilate

00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:27.639
 and so here we find

00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:28.360
 in verse 28

00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:29.300
 they end up at

00:04:29.300 --> 00:04:31.180
 at Pilate's headquarters

00:04:31.180 --> 00:04:32.339
 early in the morning

00:04:32.339 --> 00:04:34.019
 I love what it reads next

00:04:34.019 --> 00:04:35.500
 they themselves did not

00:04:35.500 --> 00:04:36.800
 enter the governor's headquarters

00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:38.879
 so that they would not be defiled

00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:40.079
 but could eat the Passover

00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:41.780
 you put your finger

00:04:41.780 --> 00:04:42.540
 on this passage

00:04:42.540 --> 00:04:43.319
 and you recognize

00:04:43.319 --> 00:04:45.220
 the Jewish hypocrisy

00:04:45.220 --> 00:04:45.939
 is stunning

00:04:45.939 --> 00:04:48.460
 what had they been doing earlier?

00:04:49.300 --> 00:04:49.460
 what?

00:04:50.220 --> 00:04:51.360
 they had been involved

00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:53.240
 in a false judgment

00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:55.280
 of an entirely holy

00:04:55.280 --> 00:04:56.300
 and innocent man

00:04:56.300 --> 00:04:57.879
 and they brought false charges

00:04:57.879 --> 00:04:59.000
 one after another

00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:00.819
 that they'd all been party to

00:05:00.819 --> 00:05:02.199
 none having succeeded

00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:02.960
 until finally

00:05:02.960 --> 00:05:04.160
 are you the Messiah?

00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:04.660
 yes

00:05:04.660 --> 00:05:08.060
 and here they are

00:05:08.060 --> 00:05:11.680
 outside Pilate's headquarters

00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:13.540
 and they are unwilling

00:05:13.540 --> 00:05:14.640
 to go in

00:05:14.640 --> 00:05:18.100
 now read what it says here

00:05:18.100 --> 00:05:19.240
 they themselves

00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:20.060
 did not enter

00:05:20.060 --> 00:05:21.140
 the governor's headquarters

00:05:21.140 --> 00:05:22.960
 so that they would not

00:05:22.960 --> 00:05:24.080
 be defiled

00:05:24.080 --> 00:05:26.000
 but could eat the Passover

00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:28.500
 this issue of defiling

00:05:28.500 --> 00:05:29.260
 if you go back

00:05:29.260 --> 00:05:30.100
 into the Old Testament

00:05:30.100 --> 00:05:30.640
 you would know

00:05:30.640 --> 00:05:31.980
 that there were certain things

00:05:31.980 --> 00:05:32.660
 you could do

00:05:32.660 --> 00:05:33.780
 that would defile you

00:05:33.779 --> 00:05:35.859
 you could touch

00:05:35.859 --> 00:05:37.099
 a dead body

00:05:37.099 --> 00:05:38.500
 that would defile you

00:05:38.500 --> 00:05:39.759
 you could

00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:41.019
 you could also

00:05:41.019 --> 00:05:42.199
 touch something

00:05:42.199 --> 00:05:43.139
 that a dead body

00:05:43.139 --> 00:05:43.679
 had touched

00:05:43.679 --> 00:05:44.500
 and you'd be defiled

00:05:44.500 --> 00:05:45.399
 there were a number

00:05:45.399 --> 00:05:46.000
 of different things

00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:46.319
 that could

00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:47.599
 you could eat something

00:05:47.599 --> 00:05:48.799
 that would defile you

00:05:48.799 --> 00:05:51.259
 but there is no passage

00:05:51.259 --> 00:05:52.579
 in the Old Testament

00:05:52.579 --> 00:05:53.459
 that I'm aware of

00:05:53.459 --> 00:05:54.399
 and as I was researching

00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:55.239
 I didn't come across

00:05:55.239 --> 00:05:55.799
 any passage

00:05:55.799 --> 00:05:56.919
 that indicated

00:05:56.919 --> 00:05:57.639
 that merely

00:05:57.639 --> 00:05:59.319
 coming into the home

00:05:59.319 --> 00:06:00.659
 of a Gentile

00:06:00.659 --> 00:06:02.299
 would defile you

00:06:02.300 --> 00:06:06.240
 and here they are

00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:07.780
 filled up

00:06:07.780 --> 00:06:08.540
 with their own

00:06:08.540 --> 00:06:09.860
 self-righteousness

00:06:09.860 --> 00:06:10.540
 completely

00:06:10.540 --> 00:06:11.759
 satisfied

00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:12.980
 with their own

00:06:12.980 --> 00:06:13.600
 character

00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:15.020
 and completely

00:06:15.020 --> 00:06:15.639
 unwilling

00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:16.300
 to go into

00:06:16.300 --> 00:06:16.660
 the home

00:06:16.660 --> 00:06:17.319
 of a Gentile

00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:18.319
 were there things

00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:18.860
 that happened

00:06:18.860 --> 00:06:19.900
 in a Gentile home

00:06:19.900 --> 00:06:21.360
 that could conceivably

00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:22.100
 defile them

00:06:22.100 --> 00:06:23.019
 yes there were

00:06:23.019 --> 00:06:24.600
 as Jews

00:06:24.600 --> 00:06:26.480
 but it was presumptuous

00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:27.180
 to think that any

00:06:27.180 --> 00:06:28.379
 and every Gentile home

00:06:28.379 --> 00:06:29.819
 would defile a person

00:06:29.819 --> 00:06:32.199
 and so here they were

00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:33.819
 unwilling

00:06:33.819 --> 00:06:35.300
 to go into

00:06:35.300 --> 00:06:36.699
 the home of Pilate

00:06:36.699 --> 00:06:37.599
 or into the

00:06:37.599 --> 00:06:39.099
 courtyard there

00:06:39.099 --> 00:06:39.719
 of Pilate

00:06:39.719 --> 00:06:41.519
 and they inquired

00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:42.100
 and had him

00:06:42.100 --> 00:06:43.000
 come out to them

00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:43.740
 so here he is

00:06:43.740 --> 00:06:44.699
 he comes outside

00:06:44.699 --> 00:06:46.019
 and he says to them

00:06:46.019 --> 00:06:46.939
 what accusation

00:06:46.939 --> 00:06:47.420
 do you bring

00:06:47.420 --> 00:06:48.399
 against this man

00:06:48.399 --> 00:06:50.759
 and I want you

00:06:50.759 --> 00:06:51.300
 to recognize

00:06:51.300 --> 00:06:52.240
 that here they are

00:06:52.240 --> 00:06:53.579
 these legalistic people

00:06:53.579 --> 00:06:54.439
 kind of wrapped up

00:06:54.439 --> 00:06:55.240
 in their own

00:06:55.240 --> 00:06:56.100
 self-righteousness

00:06:56.100 --> 00:06:56.740
 thinking about

00:06:56.740 --> 00:06:57.699
 what they were

00:06:57.699 --> 00:06:58.899
 bringing Pilate

00:06:58.899 --> 00:06:59.379
 to do

00:06:59.379 --> 00:06:59.899
 or what they

00:06:59.899 --> 00:07:00.839
 wanted Pilate

00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:01.159
 to do

00:07:01.159 --> 00:07:01.719
 and he asked

00:07:01.719 --> 00:07:02.339
 them a question

00:07:02.339 --> 00:07:04.459
 and listen

00:07:04.459 --> 00:07:05.079
 to their answer

00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:06.959
 you look down

00:07:06.959 --> 00:07:08.279
 there in verse 30

00:07:08.279 --> 00:07:08.919
 they said

00:07:08.919 --> 00:07:09.699
 if this man

00:07:09.699 --> 00:07:10.939
 were not doing evil

00:07:10.939 --> 00:07:12.500
 we would not

00:07:12.500 --> 00:07:13.279
 have delivered

00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:14.419
 him over to you

00:07:14.419 --> 00:07:15.819
 now by the way

00:07:15.819 --> 00:07:16.439
 what evil

00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:17.179
 had Jesus done

00:07:17.179 --> 00:07:17.659
 can he think

00:07:17.659 --> 00:07:18.139
 of anything

00:07:18.139 --> 00:07:18.759
 that he'd done

00:07:18.759 --> 00:07:20.000
 later

00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:21.779
 in Peter's sermon

00:07:21.779 --> 00:07:23.459
 in Acts chapter 2

00:07:23.459 --> 00:07:24.139
 you'll remember

00:07:24.139 --> 00:07:25.339
 that Peter

00:07:25.339 --> 00:07:26.439
 as he began

00:07:26.439 --> 00:07:27.060
 to preach

00:07:27.060 --> 00:07:28.719
 to the Jewish nation

00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:29.300
 there

00:07:29.300 --> 00:07:30.120
 he said

00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:30.420
 listen

00:07:30.420 --> 00:07:31.400
 you know

00:07:31.400 --> 00:07:32.960
 what Jesus did

00:07:32.960 --> 00:07:33.760
 you know

00:07:33.760 --> 00:07:34.440
 his miracles

00:07:34.440 --> 00:07:34.820
 you know

00:07:34.820 --> 00:07:35.440
 his behavior

00:07:35.440 --> 00:07:36.740
 he taught

00:07:36.740 --> 00:07:37.360
 among you

00:07:37.360 --> 00:07:38.840
 all his acts

00:07:38.840 --> 00:07:39.640
 were publicly

00:07:39.640 --> 00:07:40.500
 done before you

00:07:40.500 --> 00:07:41.340
 Jesus relied

00:07:41.340 --> 00:07:41.940
 on the same

00:07:41.940 --> 00:07:42.640
 logic

00:07:42.640 --> 00:07:43.600
 when he was

00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:44.660
 before the Sanhedrin

00:07:44.660 --> 00:07:45.060
 they said

00:07:45.060 --> 00:07:45.800
 what is it

00:07:45.800 --> 00:07:46.400
 that you're doing

00:07:46.400 --> 00:07:46.780
 he says

00:07:46.780 --> 00:07:47.580
 you've heard me

00:07:47.580 --> 00:07:48.060
 teach

00:07:48.060 --> 00:07:49.380
 I've taught

00:07:49.380 --> 00:07:49.920
 publicly

00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:51.040
 and I've acted

00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:51.580
 publicly

00:07:51.580 --> 00:07:52.720
 nothing secret

00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:55.640
 and I want

00:07:55.640 --> 00:07:56.280
 you to recognize

00:07:56.280 --> 00:07:56.700
 that

00:07:56.700 --> 00:07:58.840
 here we see

00:07:58.840 --> 00:07:59.180
 the

00:07:59.180 --> 00:08:00.720
 the crass

00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:01.480
 legalism

00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:01.860
 of these

00:08:01.860 --> 00:08:02.680
 spiritual leaders

00:08:02.680 --> 00:08:03.520
 pretty caught up

00:08:03.520 --> 00:08:04.380
 and self-satisfied

00:08:04.380 --> 00:08:05.120
 with themselves

00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:06.680
 and and yet

00:08:06.680 --> 00:08:07.680
 completely

00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:08.680
 brain dead

00:08:08.680 --> 00:08:10.320
 to their own

00:08:10.320 --> 00:08:10.780
 sin

00:08:10.780 --> 00:08:11.940
 and the hardness

00:08:11.940 --> 00:08:12.460
 of their own

00:08:12.460 --> 00:08:12.680
 heart

00:08:12.680 --> 00:08:13.540
 makes me stop

00:08:13.540 --> 00:08:14.120
 and ask myself

00:08:14.120 --> 00:08:14.660
 the question

00:08:14.660 --> 00:08:16.340
 are we ever

00:08:16.340 --> 00:08:17.160
 in our own

00:08:17.160 --> 00:08:17.720
 heart

00:08:17.720 --> 00:08:18.340
 caught up

00:08:18.340 --> 00:08:19.320
 in some

00:08:19.320 --> 00:08:20.200
 aspect or another

00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:20.939
 of legalism

00:08:20.939 --> 00:08:21.479
 where we've got

00:08:21.479 --> 00:08:22.360
 this certain

00:08:22.360 --> 00:08:23.039
 set of things

00:08:23.039 --> 00:08:23.659
 that we're all

00:08:23.659 --> 00:08:24.219
 good with

00:08:24.219 --> 00:08:25.300
 and we kind of

00:08:25.300 --> 00:08:25.719
 look at other

00:08:25.719 --> 00:08:26.339
 people and get

00:08:26.339 --> 00:08:26.959
 a pretty critical

00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:27.759
 attitude towards

00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:28.719
 them and fail

00:08:28.719 --> 00:08:29.379
 to recognize

00:08:29.379 --> 00:08:30.120
 that we're being

00:08:30.120 --> 00:08:30.639
 involved in

00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:31.240
 hypocrisy

00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:32.019
 ourselves

00:08:32.019 --> 00:08:34.700
 I want you to

00:08:34.700 --> 00:08:35.080
 think with me

00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:35.720
 just for a moment

00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:38.139
 are we ever

00:08:38.139 --> 00:08:38.840
 as deeply

00:08:38.840 --> 00:08:39.879
 convicted by our

00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:40.639
 lack of love

00:08:40.639 --> 00:08:41.279
 and humility

00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:41.939
 as we are

00:08:41.939 --> 00:08:42.659
 by lying

00:08:42.659 --> 00:08:43.580
 or stealing

00:08:43.580 --> 00:08:44.259
 or gossip

00:08:44.259 --> 00:08:46.220
 let me go over

00:08:46.220 --> 00:08:46.779
 that slowly

00:08:46.779 --> 00:08:48.860
 are we

00:08:48.860 --> 00:08:50.080
 ever convicted

00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:51.139
 as deeply

00:08:51.139 --> 00:08:51.720
 now what do I

00:08:51.720 --> 00:08:52.440
 mean by deeply

00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:52.900
 convicted

00:08:52.900 --> 00:08:53.520
 how many of

00:08:53.520 --> 00:08:53.940
 you don't

00:08:53.940 --> 00:08:54.460
 don't raise

00:08:54.460 --> 00:08:54.720
 your hand

00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:55.500
 and let me

00:08:55.500 --> 00:08:55.800
 know you're

00:08:55.800 --> 00:08:56.220
 one of them

00:08:56.220 --> 00:08:57.160
 how many of

00:08:57.160 --> 00:08:57.460
 you have

00:08:57.460 --> 00:08:58.300
 ever lied

00:08:58.300 --> 00:08:58.940
 and had your

00:08:58.940 --> 00:08:59.480
 conscience

00:08:59.480 --> 00:09:00.300
 just bug

00:09:00.300 --> 00:09:01.180
 you to death

00:09:01.180 --> 00:09:02.020
 you ever

00:09:02.020 --> 00:09:02.420
 done that

00:09:02.420 --> 00:09:03.320
 okay

00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:04.120
 I

00:09:04.120 --> 00:09:06.440
 yeah

00:09:06.440 --> 00:09:07.820
 lie

00:09:07.820 --> 00:09:10.520
 steal

00:09:10.520 --> 00:09:12.600
 I can still

00:09:12.600 --> 00:09:13.220
 remember a

00:09:13.220 --> 00:09:13.740
 pack of gum

00:09:13.740 --> 00:09:14.240
 I stole

00:09:14.240 --> 00:09:14.879
 when I was

00:09:14.879 --> 00:09:15.940
 in seventh

00:09:15.940 --> 00:09:16.259
 grade

00:09:16.259 --> 00:09:18.220
 I remember

00:09:18.220 --> 00:09:20.139
 years later

00:09:20.139 --> 00:09:20.620
 I remember

00:09:20.620 --> 00:09:21.279
 driving through

00:09:21.279 --> 00:09:21.740
 Lafayette

00:09:21.740 --> 00:09:22.120
 Indiana

00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:23.000
 because it

00:09:23.000 --> 00:09:23.680
 had plagued

00:09:23.680 --> 00:09:24.080
 me and I

00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:24.519
 thought well I

00:09:24.519 --> 00:09:25.220
 can stop off

00:09:25.220 --> 00:09:25.800
 at the store

00:09:25.800 --> 00:09:26.740
 and I can go

00:09:26.740 --> 00:09:27.300
 back in and

00:09:27.300 --> 00:09:27.779
 say hey listen

00:09:27.779 --> 00:09:28.420
 I'd like to

00:09:28.420 --> 00:09:29.220
 I'd like to

00:09:29.220 --> 00:09:29.940
 ask forgiveness

00:09:29.940 --> 00:09:30.600
 for stealing

00:09:30.600 --> 00:09:31.340
 this pack of

00:09:31.340 --> 00:09:31.800
 gum

00:09:31.800 --> 00:09:33.460
 and when I

00:09:33.460 --> 00:09:34.040
 drove down

00:09:34.040 --> 00:09:34.580
 that street

00:09:34.580 --> 00:09:35.139
 I made a

00:09:35.139 --> 00:09:36.320
 this was years

00:09:36.320 --> 00:09:36.940
 later I made

00:09:36.940 --> 00:09:37.720
 a detour

00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:38.680
 to go through

00:09:38.680 --> 00:09:39.259
 that city

00:09:39.259 --> 00:09:41.200
 and the store

00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:41.600
 had been

00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:42.440
 razed to the

00:09:42.440 --> 00:09:42.740
 ground

00:09:42.740 --> 00:09:44.440
 it's like

00:09:44.440 --> 00:09:45.180
 took my

00:09:45.180 --> 00:09:46.080
 self-righteousness

00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:46.580
 right out the

00:09:46.580 --> 00:09:46.820
 window

00:09:46.820 --> 00:09:49.440
 here's my

00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:49.820
 point

00:09:49.820 --> 00:09:52.620
 the Pharisees

00:09:52.620 --> 00:09:54.600
 the scribes

00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:54.960
 the high

00:09:54.960 --> 00:09:55.280
 priests

00:09:55.280 --> 00:09:56.280
 they were

00:09:56.280 --> 00:09:56.879
 all about

00:09:56.879 --> 00:09:57.340
 their little

00:09:57.340 --> 00:09:57.879
 set of

00:09:57.879 --> 00:09:58.280
 standards

00:09:58.280 --> 00:09:58.760
 about their

00:09:58.760 --> 00:09:59.640
 self-righteousness

00:09:59.640 --> 00:10:00.280
 and they

00:10:00.280 --> 00:10:01.300
 were quite

00:10:01.300 --> 00:10:01.960
 satisfied

00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:03.460
 with false

00:10:03.460 --> 00:10:04.300
 accusation

00:10:04.300 --> 00:10:04.700
 and a

00:10:04.700 --> 00:10:05.280
 dishonest

00:10:05.280 --> 00:10:05.680
 judgment

00:10:05.680 --> 00:10:06.300
 of Christ

00:10:06.300 --> 00:10:07.480
 and here

00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:08.040
 they were

00:10:08.040 --> 00:10:08.820
 planning

00:10:08.820 --> 00:10:09.820
 and putting

00:10:09.820 --> 00:10:10.480
 in place

00:10:10.480 --> 00:10:11.240
 the murder

00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:11.720
 of an

00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:12.300
 absolutely

00:10:12.300 --> 00:10:12.820
 righteous

00:10:12.820 --> 00:10:13.420
 man

00:10:13.420 --> 00:10:14.640
 engaged

00:10:14.640 --> 00:10:14.940
 in the

00:10:14.940 --> 00:10:15.760
 most wicked

00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:16.879
 act

00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:17.460
 of

00:10:17.460 --> 00:10:18.240
 dishonest

00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:18.860
 judgment

00:10:18.860 --> 00:10:19.740
 ever in

00:10:19.740 --> 00:10:20.159
 all of

00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:20.519
 history

00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:23.799
 Pilate

00:10:23.799 --> 00:10:25.659
 plays along

00:10:25.659 --> 00:10:26.279
 with them

00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:26.860
 and I love

00:10:26.860 --> 00:10:27.899
 his guile

00:10:27.899 --> 00:10:29.480
 he comes

00:10:29.480 --> 00:10:29.840
 out

00:10:29.840 --> 00:10:31.019
 hey

00:10:31.019 --> 00:10:31.620
 what's

00:10:31.620 --> 00:10:32.000
 the problem

00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:32.360
 here

00:10:32.360 --> 00:10:34.639
 we wouldn't

00:10:34.639 --> 00:10:35.039
 be bringing

00:10:35.039 --> 00:10:35.480
 him if it

00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:36.039
 really wasn't

00:10:36.039 --> 00:10:36.559
 a bad

00:10:36.559 --> 00:10:37.460
 bad guy

00:10:37.460 --> 00:10:38.059
 okay

00:10:38.059 --> 00:10:40.019
 and so we

00:10:40.019 --> 00:10:40.720
 read there

00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:43.940
 Pilate

00:10:43.940 --> 00:10:44.240
 says

00:10:44.240 --> 00:10:44.560
 well

00:10:44.560 --> 00:10:45.120
 hey

00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:46.060
 take him

00:10:46.060 --> 00:10:46.700
 verse 31

00:10:46.700 --> 00:10:47.300
 take him

00:10:47.300 --> 00:10:48.139
 yourselves

00:10:48.139 --> 00:10:48.700
 and judge

00:10:48.700 --> 00:10:49.019
 him by

00:10:49.019 --> 00:10:49.720
 your own

00:10:49.720 --> 00:10:50.420
 law

00:10:50.420 --> 00:10:51.460
 it was

00:10:51.460 --> 00:10:52.220
 their law

00:10:52.220 --> 00:10:53.860
 that they

00:10:53.860 --> 00:10:54.399
 had relied

00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:54.800
 upon

00:10:54.800 --> 00:10:55.180
 when he

00:10:55.180 --> 00:10:55.660
 came before

00:10:55.660 --> 00:10:56.500
 the Sanhedrin

00:10:56.500 --> 00:10:57.220
 and it

00:10:57.220 --> 00:10:57.840
 was their

00:10:57.840 --> 00:10:58.320
 law

00:10:58.320 --> 00:10:58.920
 that really

00:10:58.920 --> 00:10:59.519
 caused

00:10:59.519 --> 00:10:59.920
 the

00:10:59.920 --> 00:11:01.440
 high

00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:01.860
 priests

00:11:01.860 --> 00:11:02.139
 and the

00:11:02.139 --> 00:11:02.399
 others

00:11:02.399 --> 00:11:02.779
 to say

00:11:02.779 --> 00:11:03.040
 man

00:11:03.040 --> 00:11:03.720
 he deserves

00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:04.139
 to be

00:11:04.139 --> 00:11:04.660
 killed

00:11:04.660 --> 00:11:05.340
 why

00:11:05.340 --> 00:11:06.560
 because

00:11:06.560 --> 00:11:07.120
 he has

00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:07.779
 blasphemed

00:11:07.779 --> 00:11:08.160
 and made

00:11:08.160 --> 00:11:08.560
 it clear

00:11:08.560 --> 00:11:09.120
 that he

00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:09.700
 sees himself

00:11:09.700 --> 00:11:10.139
 as God

00:11:10.139 --> 00:11:10.639
 Christ

00:11:10.639 --> 00:11:12.220
 now when

00:11:12.220 --> 00:11:12.600
 they come

00:11:12.600 --> 00:11:13.240
 to Pilate

00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:14.299
 the accusation

00:11:14.299 --> 00:11:14.659
 that they

00:11:14.659 --> 00:11:15.080
 were going

00:11:15.080 --> 00:11:15.519
 to bring

00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:16.399
 to Pilate

00:11:16.399 --> 00:11:17.199
 was not

00:11:17.199 --> 00:11:17.840
 that Jesus

00:11:17.840 --> 00:11:18.559
 readily

00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:19.159
 recognized

00:11:19.159 --> 00:11:19.779
 himself

00:11:19.779 --> 00:11:20.419
 as the

00:11:20.419 --> 00:11:20.720
 son of

00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:20.899
 God

00:11:20.899 --> 00:11:21.259
 and equal

00:11:21.259 --> 00:11:21.659
 to God

00:11:21.659 --> 00:11:22.299
 what was

00:11:22.299 --> 00:11:22.539
 it that

00:11:22.539 --> 00:11:22.799
 they were

00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:23.139
 going to

00:11:23.139 --> 00:11:23.480
 accuse

00:11:23.480 --> 00:11:23.799
 Jesus

00:11:23.799 --> 00:11:24.059
 of

00:11:24.059 --> 00:11:24.500
 before

00:11:24.500 --> 00:11:24.980
 Pilate

00:11:24.980 --> 00:11:26.819
 being a

00:11:26.819 --> 00:11:27.039
 king

00:11:27.039 --> 00:11:28.519
 the Messiah

00:11:28.519 --> 00:11:30.000
 the anointed

00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:30.419
 one that

00:11:30.419 --> 00:11:30.740
 was going

00:11:30.740 --> 00:11:31.179
 to come

00:11:31.179 --> 00:11:32.120
 and in

00:11:32.120 --> 00:11:32.559
 Jewish

00:11:32.559 --> 00:11:32.960
 thinking

00:11:32.960 --> 00:11:33.360
 at least

00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:33.960
 deliver

00:11:33.960 --> 00:11:35.360
 the nation

00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:36.080
 of Israel

00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:37.039
 from the

00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:37.860
 heel

00:11:37.860 --> 00:11:38.259
 and the

00:11:38.259 --> 00:11:38.639
 oppression

00:11:38.639 --> 00:11:39.319
 of Rome

00:11:39.319 --> 00:11:39.659
 and so

00:11:39.659 --> 00:11:40.500
 here is

00:11:40.500 --> 00:11:40.939
 Pilate

00:11:40.939 --> 00:11:41.719
 playing along

00:11:41.719 --> 00:11:42.019
 with them

00:11:42.019 --> 00:11:42.319
 a little

00:11:42.319 --> 00:11:42.620
 bit

00:11:42.620 --> 00:11:42.819
 and he

00:11:42.819 --> 00:11:42.959
 says

00:11:42.959 --> 00:11:43.139
 hey

00:11:43.139 --> 00:11:43.379
 what's

00:11:43.379 --> 00:11:43.500
 the

00:11:43.500 --> 00:11:43.819
 problem

00:11:43.819 --> 00:11:44.139
 well

00:11:44.139 --> 00:11:44.899
 he's

00:11:44.899 --> 00:11:45.319
 a guilty

00:11:45.319 --> 00:11:45.819
 man

00:11:45.819 --> 00:11:46.319
 well

00:11:46.319 --> 00:11:46.959
 go judge

00:11:46.959 --> 00:11:47.279
 him

00:11:47.279 --> 00:11:48.139
 now we

00:11:48.139 --> 00:11:48.539
 come down

00:11:48.539 --> 00:11:48.899
 to verse

00:11:48.899 --> 00:11:49.959
 31

00:11:49.959 --> 00:11:51.779
 and

00:11:51.779 --> 00:11:52.860
 they say

00:11:52.860 --> 00:11:53.219
 this

00:11:53.219 --> 00:11:53.620
 the Jews

00:11:53.620 --> 00:11:54.219
 said to him

00:11:54.219 --> 00:11:55.000
 latter part

00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:55.939
 it is not

00:11:55.939 --> 00:11:56.799
 lawful for us

00:11:56.799 --> 00:11:57.659
 to put anyone

00:11:57.659 --> 00:11:58.399
 to death

00:11:58.399 --> 00:11:59.600
 how do you

00:11:59.600 --> 00:11:59.919
 think that

00:11:59.919 --> 00:12:00.339
 sat with

00:12:00.339 --> 00:12:00.539
 them

00:12:00.539 --> 00:12:03.500
 it was

00:12:03.500 --> 00:12:03.980
 like a

00:12:03.980 --> 00:12:04.639
 very subtle

00:12:04.639 --> 00:12:05.159
 slap

00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:05.839
 do you

00:12:05.839 --> 00:12:05.839


00:12:05.839 --> 00:12:06.219
 know why

00:12:06.219 --> 00:12:07.839
 it was a

00:12:07.839 --> 00:12:08.419
 reminder to

00:12:08.419 --> 00:12:09.059
 the Jewish

00:12:09.059 --> 00:12:10.639
 spiritual

00:12:10.639 --> 00:12:11.139
 leaders

00:12:11.139 --> 00:12:12.360
 that they

00:12:12.360 --> 00:12:13.559
 were under

00:12:13.559 --> 00:12:15.000
 authority

00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:15.719
 under the

00:12:15.719 --> 00:12:16.299
 authority of

00:12:16.299 --> 00:12:16.539
 Rome

00:12:16.539 --> 00:12:18.120
 they did

00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:18.839
 not have

00:12:18.839 --> 00:12:19.419
 the right

00:12:19.419 --> 00:12:21.059
 of execution

00:12:21.059 --> 00:12:22.360
 that they

00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:22.819
 would have

00:12:22.819 --> 00:12:23.339
 had the

00:12:23.339 --> 00:12:24.059
 right if

00:12:24.059 --> 00:12:24.719
 they had

00:12:24.719 --> 00:12:25.819
 not fallen

00:12:25.819 --> 00:12:26.519
 under

00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:28.059
 Roman's

00:12:28.059 --> 00:12:28.419
 authority

00:12:28.419 --> 00:12:30.039
 and it was

00:12:30.039 --> 00:12:30.659
 Rome alone

00:12:30.659 --> 00:12:31.079
 that had

00:12:31.079 --> 00:12:31.899
 the authority

00:12:31.899 --> 00:12:32.579
 to execute

00:12:32.579 --> 00:12:33.240
 an individual

00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:34.480
 and I

00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:34.799
 want you

00:12:34.799 --> 00:12:35.100
 to know

00:12:35.100 --> 00:12:35.740
 that Rome

00:12:35.740 --> 00:12:36.220
 had been

00:12:36.220 --> 00:12:36.580
 brutal

00:12:36.580 --> 00:12:37.120
 in dealing

00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:37.860
 with individuals

00:12:37.860 --> 00:12:38.560
 who had

00:12:38.560 --> 00:12:39.220
 overstepped

00:12:39.220 --> 00:12:39.820
 the boundaries

00:12:39.820 --> 00:12:41.299
 and exercised

00:12:41.299 --> 00:12:42.139
 Jewish

00:12:42.139 --> 00:12:42.580
 authority

00:12:42.580 --> 00:12:43.200
 apart from

00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:43.539
 Rome

00:12:43.539 --> 00:12:45.340
 incidentally

00:12:45.340 --> 00:12:45.779
 one of the

00:12:45.779 --> 00:12:46.340
 reasons that

00:12:46.340 --> 00:12:46.840
 Pilate

00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:47.419
 a little bit

00:12:47.419 --> 00:12:48.060
 of sidebar

00:12:48.060 --> 00:12:48.680
 history here

00:12:48.680 --> 00:12:49.320
 one of the

00:12:49.320 --> 00:12:49.799
 reasons that

00:12:49.799 --> 00:12:50.419
 Pilate was

00:12:50.419 --> 00:12:51.279
 so sensitive

00:12:51.279 --> 00:12:52.460
 to responding

00:12:52.460 --> 00:12:53.200
 to the Jewish

00:12:53.200 --> 00:12:53.700
 leaders

00:12:53.700 --> 00:12:56.840
 was because

00:12:56.840 --> 00:12:57.980
 previously

00:12:57.980 --> 00:12:59.340
 at one

00:12:59.340 --> 00:12:59.860
 point he

00:12:59.860 --> 00:13:00.240
 had been

00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:00.919
 very brutal

00:13:00.919 --> 00:13:01.779
 in suppressing

00:13:01.779 --> 00:13:02.799
 Jewish

00:13:02.799 --> 00:13:03.599
 rebellion

00:13:03.599 --> 00:13:04.299
 and he

00:13:04.299 --> 00:13:04.839
 slaughtered

00:13:04.839 --> 00:13:05.139
 a bunch

00:13:05.139 --> 00:13:05.439
 of them

00:13:05.439 --> 00:13:05.839
 earlier

00:13:05.839 --> 00:13:06.439
 and he

00:13:06.439 --> 00:13:06.839
 had actually

00:13:06.839 --> 00:13:07.199
 been

00:13:07.199 --> 00:13:08.299
 rebuked

00:13:08.299 --> 00:13:09.359
 by the

00:13:09.359 --> 00:13:09.639
 Caesar

00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:10.740
 so he

00:13:10.740 --> 00:13:11.099
 was not

00:13:11.099 --> 00:13:11.639
 quite as

00:13:11.639 --> 00:13:12.139
 inclined

00:13:12.139 --> 00:13:12.579
 to be

00:13:12.579 --> 00:13:13.279
 heavy handed

00:13:13.279 --> 00:13:14.139
 in dealing

00:13:14.139 --> 00:13:14.539
 this

00:13:14.539 --> 00:13:15.259
 instance

00:13:15.259 --> 00:13:15.639
 another

00:13:15.639 --> 00:13:17.240
 instance

00:13:17.240 --> 00:13:17.879
 is recorded

00:13:17.879 --> 00:13:18.299
 where

00:13:18.299 --> 00:13:19.479
 he brought

00:13:19.479 --> 00:13:20.039
 in the

00:13:20.039 --> 00:13:20.719
 what were

00:13:20.719 --> 00:13:20.839
 they

00:13:20.839 --> 00:13:21.059
 the

00:13:21.059 --> 00:13:22.620
 the

00:13:22.620 --> 00:13:23.039
 banners

00:13:23.039 --> 00:13:24.459
 he brought

00:13:24.459 --> 00:13:24.979
 them into

00:13:24.979 --> 00:13:25.740
 Jerusalem

00:13:25.740 --> 00:13:26.139
 and had

00:13:26.139 --> 00:13:26.679
 them posted

00:13:26.679 --> 00:13:27.599
 in very

00:13:27.599 --> 00:13:28.139
 significant

00:13:28.139 --> 00:13:28.579
 places

00:13:28.579 --> 00:13:29.059
 the banners

00:13:29.059 --> 00:13:29.579
 of the

00:13:29.579 --> 00:13:30.519
 legions

00:13:30.519 --> 00:13:31.819
 and the

00:13:31.819 --> 00:13:32.199
 Jews

00:13:32.199 --> 00:13:32.599
 had said

00:13:32.600 --> 00:13:32.899
 you need

00:13:32.899 --> 00:13:33.200
 to take

00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:33.420
 those

00:13:33.420 --> 00:13:33.620
 out

00:13:33.620 --> 00:13:33.860
 of here

00:13:33.860 --> 00:13:34.180
 because

00:13:34.180 --> 00:13:34.399
 they're

00:13:34.399 --> 00:13:34.800
 offending

00:13:34.800 --> 00:13:35.139
 us

00:13:35.139 --> 00:13:35.700
 and he

00:13:35.700 --> 00:13:35.860
 said

00:13:35.860 --> 00:13:36.159
 well I'm

00:13:36.159 --> 00:13:36.340
 going to

00:13:36.340 --> 00:13:36.740
 leave them

00:13:36.740 --> 00:13:37.019
 here

00:13:37.019 --> 00:13:37.620
 and if

00:13:37.620 --> 00:13:37.779
 you

00:13:37.779 --> 00:13:38.159
 complain

00:13:38.159 --> 00:13:38.700
 anymore

00:13:38.700 --> 00:13:39.240
 I'm

00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:39.420
 going to

00:13:39.420 --> 00:13:39.740
 slaughter

00:13:39.740 --> 00:13:39.940
 you

00:13:39.940 --> 00:13:40.259
 and so

00:13:40.259 --> 00:13:40.680
 the

00:13:40.680 --> 00:13:41.000
 Jewish

00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:41.379
 leaders

00:13:41.379 --> 00:13:41.700
 pulled

00:13:41.700 --> 00:13:41.940
 open

00:13:41.940 --> 00:13:42.120
 their

00:13:42.120 --> 00:13:42.399
 coats

00:13:42.399 --> 00:13:42.740
 and said

00:13:42.740 --> 00:13:43.019
 do it

00:13:43.019 --> 00:13:43.399
 now

00:13:43.399 --> 00:13:44.580
 well in

00:13:44.580 --> 00:13:44.800
 the back

00:13:44.800 --> 00:13:45.019
 of his

00:13:45.019 --> 00:13:45.240
 mind

00:13:45.240 --> 00:13:45.480
 he was

00:13:45.480 --> 00:13:45.860
 remembering

00:13:45.860 --> 00:13:46.139
 that he

00:13:46.139 --> 00:13:46.540
 had already

00:13:46.540 --> 00:13:47.240
 been rebuked

00:13:47.240 --> 00:13:48.040
 by Caesar

00:13:48.040 --> 00:13:48.779
 for previous

00:13:48.779 --> 00:13:49.320
 harshness

00:13:49.320 --> 00:13:49.860
 and he

00:13:49.860 --> 00:13:50.080
 backed

00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:50.440
 away

00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:50.860
 and so

00:13:50.860 --> 00:13:51.200
 here they

00:13:51.200 --> 00:13:51.379
 are

00:13:51.379 --> 00:13:51.759
 they're

00:13:51.759 --> 00:13:52.040
 pressing

00:13:52.040 --> 00:13:52.560
 in on

00:13:52.560 --> 00:13:53.960
 Pilate

00:13:53.960 --> 00:13:54.960
 to execute

00:13:54.960 --> 00:13:54.980
!

00:13:54.980 --> 00:13:55.620
 Jesus!

00:13:57.620 --> 00:13:58.259
 I want

00:13:58.259 --> 00:13:58.480
 you to

00:13:58.480 --> 00:13:58.860
 recognize

00:13:58.860 --> 00:13:59.340
 that what

00:13:59.340 --> 00:13:59.840
 was taking

00:13:59.840 --> 00:14:00.300
 place

00:14:00.300 --> 00:14:00.700
 in this

00:14:00.700 --> 00:14:01.120
 moment

00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:02.460
 was not

00:14:02.460 --> 00:14:02.840
 just a

00:14:02.840 --> 00:14:03.080
 matter

00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:03.399
 of

00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:04.100
 religious

00:14:04.100 --> 00:14:04.460
 leaders

00:14:04.460 --> 00:14:04.639
 and

00:14:04.639 --> 00:14:05.000
 political

00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:05.340
 leaders

00:14:05.340 --> 00:14:05.680
 kind of

00:14:05.680 --> 00:14:06.019
 acting

00:14:06.019 --> 00:14:07.800
 independently

00:14:07.800 --> 00:14:09.320
 they were

00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:10.060
 following

00:14:10.060 --> 00:14:11.019
 the plan

00:14:11.019 --> 00:14:11.460
 of God

00:14:11.460 --> 00:14:12.100
 look at

00:14:12.100 --> 00:14:12.740
 verse 32

00:14:12.740 --> 00:14:13.620
 this was

00:14:13.620 --> 00:14:14.060
 to fulfill

00:14:14.060 --> 00:14:14.539
 the word

00:14:14.539 --> 00:14:15.039
 that Jesus

00:14:15.039 --> 00:14:15.639
 had spoken

00:14:15.639 --> 00:14:16.480
 to show

00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:17.100
 by what

00:14:17.100 --> 00:14:17.860
 kind of

00:14:17.860 --> 00:14:18.259
 death

00:14:18.259 --> 00:14:19.120
 he was

00:14:19.120 --> 00:14:19.539
 going

00:14:19.539 --> 00:14:20.000
 to

00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:20.920
 die

00:14:20.920 --> 00:14:23.060
 do you

00:14:23.060 --> 00:14:23.600
 know how

00:14:23.600 --> 00:14:25.159
 Jewish

00:14:25.159 --> 00:14:25.860
 executions

00:14:25.860 --> 00:14:26.279
 as a

00:14:26.279 --> 00:14:26.899
 general rule

00:14:26.899 --> 00:14:27.960
 took place

00:14:27.960 --> 00:14:29.379
 does anybody

00:14:29.379 --> 00:14:30.060
 know how

00:14:30.060 --> 00:14:30.480
 Achan

00:14:30.480 --> 00:14:31.160
 died

00:14:31.160 --> 00:14:33.680
 he was

00:14:33.680 --> 00:14:35.240
 stoned

00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:37.600
 and I

00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:37.980
 can tell

00:14:37.980 --> 00:14:38.320
 you that

00:14:38.320 --> 00:14:39.240
 the Jews

00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:39.620
 would have

00:14:39.620 --> 00:14:39.900
 probably

00:14:39.900 --> 00:14:40.500
 loved to

00:14:40.500 --> 00:14:40.639
 have

00:14:40.639 --> 00:14:41.019
 stoned

00:14:41.019 --> 00:14:41.400
 Jesus

00:14:41.400 --> 00:14:42.100
 how did

00:14:42.100 --> 00:14:42.540
 Stephen

00:14:42.540 --> 00:14:42.960
 die

00:14:42.960 --> 00:14:44.879
 stoned

00:14:44.879 --> 00:14:46.300
 it was

00:14:46.300 --> 00:14:46.639
 their

00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:47.180
 hey

00:14:47.180 --> 00:14:47.920
 let's

00:14:47.920 --> 00:14:48.240
 pick up

00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:48.440
 these

00:14:48.440 --> 00:14:48.700
 heavy

00:14:48.700 --> 00:14:49.040
 chunks

00:14:49.040 --> 00:14:49.280
 of

00:14:49.280 --> 00:14:49.840
 rock

00:14:49.840 --> 00:14:50.160
 and

00:14:50.160 --> 00:14:50.660
 put

00:14:50.660 --> 00:14:50.840
 this

00:14:50.840 --> 00:14:51.120
 person

00:14:51.120 --> 00:14:51.259
 to

00:14:51.259 --> 00:14:51.560
 death

00:14:51.560 --> 00:14:53.060
 no

00:14:53.060 --> 00:14:53.400
 they

00:14:53.400 --> 00:14:53.560
 had

00:14:53.560 --> 00:14:53.639
 to

00:14:53.639 --> 00:14:54.040
 rely

00:14:54.040 --> 00:14:54.500
 upon

00:14:54.500 --> 00:14:54.820
 a

00:14:54.820 --> 00:14:55.660
 pagan

00:14:55.660 --> 00:14:56.639
 foreign

00:14:56.639 --> 00:14:57.460
 government

00:14:57.460 --> 00:14:57.759
 to

00:14:57.759 --> 00:14:58.000
 do

00:14:58.000 --> 00:14:58.220
 their

00:14:58.220 --> 00:14:58.460
 dirty

00:14:58.460 --> 00:14:58.740
 work

00:14:58.740 --> 00:14:59.080
 and

00:14:59.080 --> 00:14:59.200
 so

00:14:59.200 --> 00:14:59.360
 here

00:14:59.360 --> 00:14:59.500
 they

00:14:59.500 --> 00:14:59.660
 are

00:14:59.660 --> 00:14:59.940
 making

00:14:59.940 --> 00:15:00.220
 this

00:15:00.220 --> 00:15:00.639
 appeal

00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:02.680
 I want

00:15:02.680 --> 00:15:02.800
 you to

00:15:02.800 --> 00:15:02.920
 look

00:15:02.920 --> 00:15:03.300
 secondly

00:15:03.300 --> 00:15:03.600
 at

00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:03.879
 the

00:15:03.879 --> 00:15:05.180
 political

00:15:05.180 --> 00:15:05.920
 hypocrisy

00:15:05.920 --> 00:15:06.340
 we see

00:15:06.340 --> 00:15:06.820
 displayed

00:15:06.820 --> 00:15:07.120
 here

00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:07.560
 we get

00:15:07.560 --> 00:15:07.740
 into

00:15:07.740 --> 00:15:07.940
 verse

00:15:07.940 --> 00:15:08.440
 33

00:15:08.440 --> 00:15:09.080
 so

00:15:09.080 --> 00:15:09.480
 Pilate

00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:09.740
 entered

00:15:09.740 --> 00:15:09.940
 into

00:15:09.940 --> 00:15:10.139
 his

00:15:10.139 --> 00:15:10.560
 headquarters

00:15:10.560 --> 00:15:10.879
 again

00:15:10.879 --> 00:15:11.259
 and called

00:15:11.259 --> 00:15:11.540
 Jesus

00:15:11.540 --> 00:15:11.879
 and said

00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:12.100
 to him

00:15:12.100 --> 00:15:12.620
 are you

00:15:12.620 --> 00:15:12.940
 the king

00:15:12.940 --> 00:15:13.200
 of the

00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:13.420
 Jews

00:15:13.420 --> 00:15:14.060
 evidently

00:15:14.060 --> 00:15:15.060
 the issue

00:15:15.060 --> 00:15:15.360
 of

00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:16.320
 are you

00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:16.720
 the son

00:15:16.720 --> 00:15:17.100
 of God

00:15:17.100 --> 00:15:17.519
 had back

00:15:17.519 --> 00:15:18.160
 put over

00:15:18.160 --> 00:15:18.460
 to the

00:15:18.460 --> 00:15:18.780
 side

00:15:18.780 --> 00:15:19.019
 and

00:15:19.019 --> 00:15:19.540
 they

00:15:19.540 --> 00:15:19.980
 had brought

00:15:19.980 --> 00:15:20.220
 this

00:15:20.220 --> 00:15:20.879
 accusation

00:15:20.879 --> 00:15:21.220
 listen

00:15:21.220 --> 00:15:21.780
 this guy

00:15:21.780 --> 00:15:22.120
 that we're

00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:22.420
 bringing

00:15:22.420 --> 00:15:22.780
 to you

00:15:22.780 --> 00:15:22.960
 we're

00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:23.259
 really

00:16:33.939 --> 00:16:34.179
 just

00:16:34.179 --> 00:16:34.359
 for

00:16:34.359 --> 00:16:34.500
 a

00:16:34.500 --> 00:16:34.819
 moment

00:21:38.640 --> 00:21:38.940
 that

00:21:38.940 --> 00:21:40.100
 he

00:21:40.100 --> 00:21:40.320
 says

00:21:40.320 --> 00:21:40.539
 what

00:21:40.539 --> 00:21:40.740
 is

00:21:40.740 --> 00:21:41.080
 truth

00:21:41.080 --> 00:21:42.360
 so

00:21:42.360 --> 00:21:42.519
 let

00:21:42.519 --> 00:21:42.620
 me

00:21:42.620 --> 00:21:42.880
 ask

00:21:42.880 --> 00:21:43.000
 you

00:21:43.000 --> 00:21:43.220
 this

00:21:43.220 --> 00:21:43.640
 question

00:21:43.640 --> 00:21:44.460
 fundamentally

00:21:44.460 --> 00:21:45.259
 what

00:21:45.259 --> 00:21:45.539
 is

00:21:45.539 --> 00:21:45.779
 the

00:21:45.779 --> 00:21:46.259
 truth

00:21:46.259 --> 00:21:46.539
 that

00:21:46.539 --> 00:21:47.200
 Jesus

00:21:47.200 --> 00:21:47.819
 came

00:21:47.819 --> 00:21:48.039
 to

00:21:48.039 --> 00:21:48.259
 make

00:21:48.259 --> 00:21:48.839
 clear

00:21:48.839 --> 00:21:49.359
 to

00:21:49.359 --> 00:21:49.859
 us

00:21:49.859 --> 00:21:50.399
 today

00:21:50.399 --> 00:21:50.920
 that

00:21:50.920 --> 00:21:51.099
 we

00:21:51.099 --> 00:21:51.359
 need

00:21:51.359 --> 00:21:51.500
 to

00:21:51.500 --> 00:21:51.700
 know

00:21:51.700 --> 00:21:51.839
 and

00:21:51.839 --> 00:21:52.019
 have

00:21:52.019 --> 00:21:52.180
 our

00:21:52.180 --> 00:21:52.420
 hearts

00:21:52.420 --> 00:21:52.859
 focused

00:21:52.859 --> 00:21:53.099
 on

00:21:53.099 --> 00:21:53.259
 for

00:21:53.259 --> 00:21:53.659
 one

00:21:53.659 --> 00:21:54.099
 it

00:21:54.099 --> 00:21:54.279
 is

00:21:54.279 --> 00:21:54.460
 this

00:21:54.460 --> 00:21:54.639
 that

00:21:54.639 --> 00:21:54.899
 God

00:21:54.899 --> 00:21:55.319
 reigns

00:21:55.319 --> 00:21:55.659
 supreme

00:21:55.659 --> 00:21:56.279
 and

00:21:56.279 --> 00:21:56.480
 he

00:21:56.480 --> 00:21:56.700
 will

00:21:56.700 --> 00:21:57.079
 judge

00:21:57.079 --> 00:21:57.379
 all

00:21:57.379 --> 00:21:57.740
 men

00:21:57.740 --> 00:22:00.139
 God

00:22:00.139 --> 00:22:00.559
 reigns

00:22:00.559 --> 00:22:00.980
 supreme

00:22:00.980 --> 00:22:02.339
 and

00:22:02.339 --> 00:22:02.500
 he

00:22:02.500 --> 00:22:02.680
 will

00:22:02.680 --> 00:22:02.980
 judge

00:22:02.980 --> 00:22:03.220
 all

00:22:03.220 --> 00:22:03.460
 men

00:22:03.460 --> 00:22:04.859
 I

00:22:04.859 --> 00:22:05.079
 think

00:22:05.079 --> 00:22:05.299
 about

00:22:05.299 --> 00:22:05.460
 the

00:22:05.460 --> 00:22:05.799
 message

00:22:05.799 --> 00:22:06.119
 over

00:22:06.119 --> 00:22:06.279
 in

00:22:06.279 --> 00:22:06.480
 Acts

00:22:06.480 --> 00:22:06.759
 chapter

00:22:06.759 --> 00:22:07.200

00:22:07.200 --> 00:22:07.519
 where

00:22:07.519 --> 00:22:07.819
 Paul

00:22:07.819 --> 00:22:08.019
 is

00:22:08.019 --> 00:22:08.379
 preaching

00:22:08.379 --> 00:22:08.859
 to

00:22:08.859 --> 00:22:09.500
 a

 large

00:22:10.259 --> 00:22:10.639
 group

00:22:10.639 --> 00:22:10.879
 in

00:22:10.879 --> 00:22:11.420
 Athens

00:22:11.420 --> 00:22:12.000
 in

00:22:12.000 --> 00:22:12.119
 the

00:22:12.119 --> 00:22:12.460
 Agora

00:22:12.460 --> 00:22:12.700
 and

00:22:12.700 --> 00:22:12.859
 what

00:22:12.859 --> 00:22:13.019
 does

00:22:13.019 --> 00:22:13.139
 he

00:22:13.139 --> 00:22:13.440
 say

00:22:13.440 --> 00:22:14.279
 the

00:22:14.279 --> 00:22:14.519
 day

00:22:14.519 --> 00:22:14.680
 is

00:22:14.680 --> 00:22:14.980
 coming

00:22:14.980 --> 00:22:15.240
 when

00:22:15.240 --> 00:22:15.539
 God

00:22:15.539 --> 00:22:15.720
 is

00:22:15.720 --> 00:22:15.980
 going

00:22:15.980 --> 00:22:16.220
 to

00:22:16.220 --> 00:22:16.779
 judge

00:22:16.779 --> 00:22:17.879
 men

00:22:17.879 --> 00:22:18.500
 by

00:22:18.500 --> 00:22:18.940
 his

00:22:18.940 --> 00:22:19.379
 son

00:22:19.379 --> 00:22:19.559
 the

00:22:19.559 --> 00:22:19.740
 Lord

00:22:19.740 --> 00:22:20.039
 Jesus

00:22:20.039 --> 00:22:20.519
 Christ

00:22:20.519 --> 00:22:21.539
 and

00:22:21.539 --> 00:22:21.759
 here

00:22:21.759 --> 00:22:22.000
 is

00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:22.579
 something

00:22:22.579 --> 00:22:22.839
 that

00:22:22.839 --> 00:22:22.980
 I

00:22:22.980 --> 00:22:23.099
 want

00:22:23.099 --> 00:22:23.180
 to

00:22:23.180 --> 00:22:23.359
 make

00:22:23.359 --> 00:22:24.039
 undeniably

00:22:24.039 --> 00:22:24.359
 clear

00:22:24.359 --> 00:22:24.539
 to

00:22:24.539 --> 00:22:24.799
 every

00:22:24.799 --> 00:22:24.980
 one

00:22:24.980 --> 00:22:25.099
 of

00:22:25.099 --> 00:22:25.160
 you

00:22:25.160 --> 00:22:25.299
 the

00:22:25.299 --> 00:22:25.539
 fact

00:22:25.539 --> 00:22:25.639
 of

00:22:25.639 --> 00:22:25.720
 the

00:22:25.720 --> 00:22:25.900
 matter

00:22:25.900 --> 00:22:26.119
 is

00:22:26.119 --> 00:22:26.339
 this

00:22:26.339 --> 00:22:26.779
 there

00:22:26.779 --> 00:22:26.960
 is

00:22:26.960 --> 00:22:27.099
 a

00:22:27.099 --> 00:22:27.339
 God

00:22:27.339 --> 00:22:27.539
 in

00:22:29.220 --> 00:22:29.539
 us

00:22:29.539 --> 00:22:29.779
 will

00:22:29.779 --> 00:22:30.259
 someday

00:22:30.259 --> 00:22:30.960
 stand

00:22:30.960 --> 00:22:31.319
 before

00:22:31.319 --> 00:22:31.740
 God

00:22:31.740 --> 00:22:32.099
 to

00:22:32.099 --> 00:22:32.220
 give

00:22:32.220 --> 00:22:32.319
 an

00:22:32.319 --> 00:22:32.700
 account

00:22:32.700 --> 00:22:33.099
 we

00:22:33.099 --> 00:22:33.299
 will

00:22:33.299 --> 00:22:33.680
 answer

00:22:33.680 --> 00:22:33.960
 for

00:22:33.960 --> 00:22:34.139
 our

00:22:34.139 --> 00:22:34.700
 lives

00:22:34.700 --> 00:22:37.839
 and

00:22:37.839 --> 00:22:37.980
 he

00:22:37.980 --> 00:22:38.160
 will

00:22:38.160 --> 00:22:38.460
 judge

00:22:38.460 --> 00:22:38.839
 us

00:22:38.839 --> 00:22:41.319
 and

00:22:41.319 --> 00:22:41.619
 apart

00:22:41.619 --> 00:22:41.839
 from

00:22:41.839 --> 00:22:41.980
 the

00:22:41.980 --> 00:22:42.160
 Lord

00:22:42.160 --> 00:22:42.480
 Jesus

00:22:42.480 --> 00:22:42.960
 Christ

00:22:42.960 --> 00:22:43.160
 and

00:22:43.160 --> 00:22:43.700
 salvation

00:22:43.700 --> 00:22:43.980
 that

00:22:43.980 --> 00:22:44.160
 is

00:22:44.160 --> 00:22:44.339
 in

00:22:44.339 --> 00:22:44.620
 his

00:22:44.620 --> 00:22:44.980
 name

00:22:44.980 --> 00:22:45.680
 all

00:22:45.680 --> 00:22:45.980
 of

00:22:45.980 --> 00:22:46.200
 us

00:22:46.200 --> 00:22:46.500
 stand

00:22:46.500 --> 00:22:47.039
 justly

00:22:47.039 --> 00:22:47.480
 condemned

00:22:47.480 --> 00:22:47.740
 for

00:22:47.740 --> 00:22:48.000
 our

00:22:48.000 --> 00:22:48.480
 sins

00:22:48.480 --> 00:22:52.759
 I

00:22:52.759 --> 00:22:52.900
 think

00:22:52.900 --> 00:22:53.039
 it's

00:22:53.039 --> 00:22:53.339
 important

00:22:53.339 --> 00:22:53.700
 for us

00:22:53.700 --> 00:22:53.900
 to get

00:22:53.900 --> 00:22:54.019
 our

00:22:54.019 --> 00:22:54.279
 hands

00:22:54.279 --> 00:22:54.519
 around

00:22:54.519 --> 00:22:54.799
 that

00:22:54.799 --> 00:22:56.539
 because

00:22:56.539 --> 00:22:56.740
 at

00:22:56.740 --> 00:22:56.860
 the

00:22:56.860 --> 00:22:57.079
 heart

00:22:57.079 --> 00:22:57.180
 of

00:22:57.180 --> 00:22:57.299
 the

00:22:57.299 --> 00:22:57.700
 gospel

00:22:57.700 --> 00:22:58.980
 is

00:22:58.980 --> 00:22:59.120
 the

00:22:59.120 --> 00:22:59.400
 fact

00:22:59.400 --> 00:22:59.559
 that

00:22:59.559 --> 00:22:59.759
 there

00:22:59.759 --> 00:22:59.960
 is

00:22:59.960 --> 00:23:00.120
 a

00:23:00.120 --> 00:23:00.360
 God

00:23:00.360 --> 00:23:00.559
 in

00:23:00.559 --> 00:23:00.819
 heaven

00:23:00.819 --> 00:23:01.039
 who

00:23:01.039 --> 00:23:01.240
 is

00:23:01.240 --> 00:23:01.440
 the

00:23:01.440 --> 00:23:01.740
 judge

00:23:01.740 --> 00:23:01.880
 of

00:23:01.880 --> 00:23:01.980
 the

00:23:01.980 --> 00:23:02.180
 whole

00:23:02.180 --> 00:23:02.480
 earth

00:23:02.480 --> 00:23:03.120
 and

00:23:03.120 --> 00:23:03.420
 his

00:23:03.420 --> 00:23:03.960
 judgment

00:23:03.960 --> 00:23:04.319
 will

00:23:04.319 --> 00:23:04.539
 be

00:23:04.539 --> 00:23:04.960
 just

00:23:04.960 --> 00:23:05.220
 and

00:23:05.220 --> 00:23:05.460
 his

00:23:05.460 --> 00:23:05.920
 judgment

00:23:05.920 --> 00:23:06.400
 apart

00:23:06.400 --> 00:23:06.680
 from

00:23:06.680 --> 00:23:07.079
 Christ

00:23:07.079 --> 00:23:07.559
 will

00:23:07.559 --> 00:23:07.759
 be

00:23:07.759 --> 00:23:08.519
 condemnation

00:23:08.519 --> 00:23:08.740
 and

00:23:08.740 --> 00:23:09.279
 eternal

00:23:09.279 --> 00:23:09.920
 suffering

00:23:09.920 --> 00:23:10.160
 for

00:23:10.160 --> 00:23:10.360
 our

00:23:10.360 --> 00:23:10.740
 sins

00:23:10.740 --> 00:23:12.140
 when

00:23:12.140 --> 00:23:12.460
 Jesus

00:23:12.460 --> 00:23:12.820
 said

00:23:12.820 --> 00:23:13.060
 I've

00:23:13.060 --> 00:23:13.240
 come

00:23:13.240 --> 00:23:13.400
 into

00:23:13.400 --> 00:23:13.560
 the

00:23:13.560 --> 00:23:13.820
 world

00:23:13.820 --> 00:23:13.960
 and

00:23:13.960 --> 00:23:14.140
 my

00:23:14.140 --> 00:23:14.600
 purpose

00:23:14.600 --> 00:23:15.340
 is

00:23:15.340 --> 00:23:15.500
 to

00:23:15.500 --> 00:23:15.720
 bring

00:23:15.720 --> 00:23:15.900
 the

00:23:15.900 --> 00:23:16.200
 truth

00:23:16.200 --> 00:23:16.600
 the

00:23:16.600 --> 00:23:16.860
 truth

00:23:16.860 --> 00:23:17.039
 that

00:23:17.039 --> 00:23:17.120
 he

00:23:17.120 --> 00:23:17.279
 was

00:23:17.279 --> 00:23:17.600
 bringing

00:23:17.600 --> 00:23:17.820
 is

00:23:17.820 --> 00:23:18.039
 this

00:23:18.039 --> 00:23:18.500
 I

00:23:18.500 --> 00:23:18.680
 am

00:23:18.680 --> 00:23:19.180
 moments

00:23:19.180 --> 00:23:19.380
 from

00:23:19.380 --> 00:23:19.560
 the

00:23:19.560 --> 00:23:19.940
 cross

00:23:19.940 --> 00:23:20.080
 and

00:23:20.080 --> 00:23:20.240
 the

00:23:20.240 --> 00:23:20.539
 reason

00:23:20.539 --> 00:23:20.860
 I'm

00:23:20.860 --> 00:23:21.039
 going

00:23:21.039 --> 00:23:21.220
 to

00:23:21.220 --> 00:23:21.460
 die

00:23:21.460 --> 00:23:21.620
 on

00:23:21.620 --> 00:23:21.740
 the

00:23:21.740 --> 00:23:22.039
 cross

00:23:22.039 --> 00:23:22.500
 is

00:23:22.500 --> 00:23:22.800
 because

00:23:22.800 --> 00:23:23.220
 God

00:23:23.220 --> 00:23:23.480
 has

00:23:23.480 --> 00:23:23.960
 judged

00:23:23.960 --> 00:23:24.320
 sin

00:23:24.320 --> 00:23:24.900
 and

00:23:24.900 --> 00:23:25.200
 he

00:23:25.200 --> 00:23:25.580
 will

00:23:25.580 --> 00:23:26.240
 condemn

00:23:26.240 --> 00:23:26.720
 those

00:23:26.720 --> 00:23:26.920
 who

00:23:26.920 --> 00:23:27.120
 do

00:23:27.120 --> 00:23:27.360
 not

00:23:27.360 --> 00:23:27.759
 believe

00:23:27.759 --> 00:23:28.200
 in

00:23:28.200 --> 00:23:28.360
 the

00:23:28.360 --> 00:23:28.680
 finished

00:23:28.680 --> 00:23:29.080
 work

00:23:29.080 --> 00:23:29.700
 of

00:23:29.700 --> 00:23:29.900
 my

00:23:29.900 --> 00:23:30.500
 sacrifice

00:23:30.500 --> 00:23:30.720
 on

00:23:30.720 --> 00:23:30.860
 the

00:23:30.860 --> 00:23:31.300
 cross

00:23:31.300 --> 00:23:33.140
 why

00:23:33.140 --> 00:23:33.279
 did

00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:33.400
 he

00:23:33.400 --> 00:23:33.660
 come

00:23:33.660 --> 00:23:34.840
 to

00:23:34.839 --> 00:23:35.039
 make

00:23:35.039 --> 00:23:35.199
 the

00:23:35.199 --> 00:23:35.419
 truth

00:23:35.419 --> 00:23:35.779
 plain

00:23:35.779 --> 00:23:36.859
 what

00:23:36.859 --> 00:23:37.019
 is

00:23:37.019 --> 00:23:37.159
 the

00:23:37.159 --> 00:23:37.480
 truth

00:23:37.480 --> 00:23:38.619
 God

00:23:38.619 --> 00:23:38.779
 is

00:23:38.779 --> 00:23:38.939
 the

00:23:38.939 --> 00:23:39.359
 judge

00:23:39.359 --> 00:23:40.639
 all

00:23:40.639 --> 00:23:40.939
 men

00:23:40.939 --> 00:23:41.319
 stand

00:23:41.319 --> 00:23:41.899
 justly

00:23:41.899 --> 00:23:42.439
 condemned

00:23:42.439 --> 00:23:43.519
 and

00:23:43.519 --> 00:23:43.859
 Christ

00:23:43.859 --> 00:23:44.179
 Jesus

00:23:44.179 --> 00:23:44.599
 came

00:23:44.599 --> 00:23:44.759
 into

00:23:44.759 --> 00:23:44.919
 the

00:23:44.919 --> 00:23:45.099
 world

00:23:45.099 --> 00:23:45.279
 to

00:23:45.279 --> 00:23:45.539
 die

00:23:45.539 --> 00:23:45.779
 for

00:23:45.779 --> 00:23:45.959
 our

00:23:45.959 --> 00:23:46.199
 sins

00:23:46.199 --> 00:23:46.339
 and

00:23:46.339 --> 00:23:46.599
 offer

00:23:46.599 --> 00:23:47.240
 salvation

00:23:47.240 --> 00:23:47.779
 for

00:23:47.779 --> 00:23:48.039
 all

00:23:48.039 --> 00:23:48.199
 who

00:23:48.199 --> 00:23:48.439

00:23:49.980 --> 00:23:50.119
 the

00:23:50.119 --> 00:23:50.480
 issue

00:23:50.480 --> 00:23:51.899
 how

00:23:51.899 --> 00:23:52.099
 did

00:23:52.099 --> 00:23:52.500
 Pilate

00:23:52.500 --> 00:23:52.959
 react

00:23:52.959 --> 00:23:53.139
 when

00:23:53.139 --> 00:23:53.399
 Jesus

00:23:53.399 --> 00:23:53.659
 said

00:23:53.659 --> 00:23:53.859
 I'm

00:23:53.859 --> 00:23:53.980
 the

00:23:53.980 --> 00:23:54.279
 truth

00:23:54.279 --> 00:23:55.559
 I've

00:23:55.559 --> 00:23:55.720
 come

00:23:55.720 --> 00:23:55.859
 to

00:23:55.859 --> 00:23:56.019
 make

00:23:56.019 --> 00:23:56.199
 the

00:23:56.199 --> 00:23:56.399
 truth

00:23:56.399 --> 00:23:56.759
 plain

00:23:56.759 --> 00:23:57.240
 yeah

00:23:57.240 --> 00:23:58.039
 whatever

00:23:58.039 --> 00:23:58.399
 what

00:23:58.399 --> 00:23:59.019
 is

00:23:59.019 --> 00:23:59.220
 the

00:23:59.220 --> 00:23:59.539
 truth

00:23:59.539 --> 00:24:00.480
 kind

00:24:00.480 --> 00:24:00.679
 of a

00:24:00.679 --> 00:24:01.159
 subjective

00:24:01.159 --> 00:24:01.639
 well

00:24:01.639 --> 00:24:01.819
 I

00:24:04.839 --> 00:24:05.119
 full

00:24:05.119 --> 00:24:05.259
 of

00:24:05.259 --> 00:24:05.639
 himself

00:24:05.639 --> 00:24:06.339
 and

00:24:06.339 --> 00:24:07.119
 quite

00:24:07.119 --> 00:24:07.679
 persuaded

00:24:07.679 --> 00:24:08.000
 that

00:24:08.000 --> 00:24:08.559
 truth

00:24:08.559 --> 00:24:08.799
 was

00:24:08.799 --> 00:24:09.220
 something

00:24:09.220 --> 00:24:09.519
 that

00:24:09.519 --> 00:24:09.839
 was

00:24:09.839 --> 00:24:10.799
 negotiable

00:24:10.799 --> 00:24:11.139
 and

00:24:11.139 --> 00:24:11.619
 kind

00:24:11.619 --> 00:24:11.720
 of

00:24:11.720 --> 00:24:11.839
 he

00:24:11.839 --> 00:24:12.019
 could

00:24:12.019 --> 00:24:12.480
 handle

00:24:12.480 --> 00:24:13.959
 Pilate

00:24:13.959 --> 00:24:14.099
 to

00:24:14.099 --> 00:24:14.259
 a

00:24:14.259 --> 00:24:14.439
 certain

00:24:14.439 --> 00:24:14.759
 degree

00:24:14.759 --> 00:24:15.299
 thought

00:24:15.299 --> 00:24:15.480
 he

00:24:15.480 --> 00:24:15.839
 made

00:24:15.839 --> 00:24:16.019
 the

00:24:16.019 --> 00:24:16.399
 truth

00:24:16.399 --> 00:24:17.599
 remember

00:24:17.599 --> 00:24:17.879
 that

00:24:17.879 --> 00:24:19.619
 when

00:24:19.619 --> 00:24:19.959
 Jesus

00:24:19.959 --> 00:24:20.639
 was

00:24:20.639 --> 00:24:20.859
 not

00:24:20.859 --> 00:24:21.139
 overly

00:24:21.139 --> 00:24:21.659
 cooperative

00:24:21.659 --> 00:24:22.059
 and

00:24:22.059 --> 00:24:22.599
 didn't

00:24:22.599 --> 00:24:22.779
 do

00:24:22.779 --> 00:24:23.019
 what

00:24:23.019 --> 00:24:23.419
 Pilate

00:24:23.419 --> 00:24:23.699
 wanted

00:24:23.699 --> 00:24:23.839
 he

00:24:23.839 --> 00:24:23.959
 says

00:24:23.959 --> 00:24:24.199
 don't

00:24:24.199 --> 00:24:24.319
 you

00:24:24.319 --> 00:24:24.799
 understand

00:24:24.799 --> 00:24:25.000
 that

00:24:25.000 --> 00:24:25.139
 I

00:24:25.139 --> 00:24:25.339
 have

00:24:25.339 --> 00:24:25.480
 the

00:24:25.480 --> 00:24:25.740
 right

00:24:25.740 --> 00:24:26.159
 or

00:24:26.299 --> 00:24:27.099
 authority

00:24:27.099 --> 00:24:27.419
 to

00:24:27.419 --> 00:24:27.939
 condemn

00:24:27.939 --> 00:24:28.319
 you

00:24:28.319 --> 00:24:29.599
 no

00:24:34.259 --> 00:24:34.459
 goes

00:24:34.459 --> 00:24:34.659
 out

00:24:34.660 --> 00:24:34.800
 to

00:24:35.000 --> 00:24:35.620
 Jews

00:24:35.620 --> 00:24:35.740

 says

 he

00:24:40.460 --> 00:24:40.759
 tries

00:24:40.759 --> 00:24:40.880
 to

00:24:40.880 --> 00:24:41.259
 negotiate

00:24:41.940 --> 00:24:42.080
 and

00:24:42.080 --> 00:24:42.220
 how

00:24:42.380 --> 00:24:42.540
 that

00:24:42.540 --> 00:24:42.800
 go

 already

00:24:44.440 --> 00:24:44.660
 made

 tells

00:26:41.980 --> 00:26:42.160
 us

00:26:42.160 --> 00:26:42.299
 in

00:26:42.299 --> 00:26:42.559
 scripture

00:26:42.559 --> 00:26:42.779

00:26:48.920 --> 00:26:49.380
 moment

00:26:49.380 --> 00:26:51.400
 an

00:26:51.400 --> 00:26:52.099
 absolutely

 who

00:26:54.759 --> 00:26:54.920
 are

00:26:54.920 --> 00:26:55.200
 doing

00:26:55.200 --> 00:26:55.539
 their

00:26:55.539 --> 00:26:56.120
 best

00:26:56.120 --> 00:26:56.360

00:27:01.200 --> 00:27:01.759
 governor

00:27:01.759 --> 00:27:02.279
 who

00:27:02.279 --> 00:27:02.500
 has

00:27:02.500 --> 00:27:02.740
 no

00:27:03.960 --> 00:27:05.220
 and

00:27:05.220 --> 00:27:05.600
 Jesus

00:27:05.600 --> 00:27:06.380
 standing

00:27:06.380 --> 00:27:06.900
 before

00:27:06.900 --> 00:27:07.880
 them

00:27:07.880 --> 00:27:08.779
 condemned

00:27:08.779 --> 00:27:10.360
 who

00:27:10.360 --> 00:27:10.620
 says

00:27:10.620 --> 00:27:10.819
 my

00:27:10.819 --> 00:27:11.220
 purpose

00:27:11.220 --> 00:27:11.440
 in

00:27:11.440 --> 00:27:11.740
 coming

00:27:11.740 --> 00:27:12.819
 is

00:27:12.819 --> 00:27:12.980
 to

00:27:12.980 --> 00:27:13.180
 make

00:27:13.180 --> 00:27:13.340
 the

00:27:13.340 --> 00:27:13.559
 truth

00:27:13.559 --> 00:27:14.039
 plain

00:27:14.039 --> 00:27:15.160
 and

00:27:15.160 --> 00:27:15.360
 make

00:27:15.360 --> 00:27:15.500
 it

00:27:15.500 --> 00:27:15.759
 clear

00:27:15.759 --> 00:27:17.079
 so

00:27:17.079 --> 00:27:17.220
 I

00:27:17.220 --> 00:27:17.460
 wonder

00:27:17.460 --> 00:27:17.740
 this

00:27:17.740 --> 00:27:18.019
 morning

00:27:18.019 --> 00:27:18.259
 if

 that

00:27:18.960 --> 00:27:19.299
 place

00:27:19.299 --> 00:27:19.500
 of

00:27:19.500 --> 00:27:19.880
 judgment

00:27:19.880 --> 00:27:20.400

 seated

00:27:21.019 --> 00:27:21.240
 in

00:27:21.440 --> 00:27:22.039
 situation

00:27:22.039 --> 00:27:22.299
 and

00:27:22.299 --> 00:27:22.440
 you

00:27:22.440 --> 00:27:22.620
 were

00:27:22.620 --> 00:27:23.019
 judging

00:27:23.019 --> 00:27:23.220
 the

00:27:23.220 --> 00:27:23.400
 truth

00:27:24.779 --> 00:27:24.980
 what

00:27:24.980 --> 00:27:25.299
 Jesus

00:27:25.299 --> 00:27:25.539
 is

00:27:25.539 --> 00:27:25.819
 saying

00:27:53.919 --> 00:27:54.159
 prayer

00:27:54.160 --> 00:27:57.600
 our

 the

00:28:01.120 --> 00:28:02.440
 absolute

00:28:02.440 --> 00:28:03.120
 emptiness

00:28:03.120 --> 00:28:03.580

 spiritual

00:28:05.060 --> 00:28:05.840
 hypocrisy

00:28:05.840 --> 00:28:06.100
 and

00:28:06.100 --> 00:28:06.860
 shallowness

00:28:06.860 --> 00:28:07.040
 of

00:28:07.040 --> 00:28:07.259
 wicked

 we

00:28:10.100 --> 00:28:10.580
 realize

00:28:10.580 --> 00:28:10.840
 the

00:28:10.840 --> 00:28:11.320
 bankruptcy

00:28:11.320 --> 00:28:11.860
 of

00:28:12.500 --> 00:28:13.040
 system

00:28:13.040 --> 00:28:13.279
 that

00:28:13.279 --> 00:28:13.460
 is

00:28:13.460 --> 00:28:13.920
 not

 your

00:28:15.019 --> 00:28:15.519
 word

00:28:15.519 --> 00:28:17.200
 we're

00:28:17.200 --> 00:28:17.500
 thankful

00:28:17.500 --> 00:28:17.740
 that

00:28:19.220 --> 00:28:19.380
 is

00:28:19.380 --> 00:28:19.540
 the

00:28:19.540 --> 00:28:19.840
 nature

00:28:19.840 --> 00:28:20.080
 and

00:28:20.080 --> 00:28:20.380
 character

00:28:20.380 --> 00:28:20.519
 of

00:28:20.519 --> 00:28:20.700
 our

00:28:20.700 --> 00:28:20.980
 savior
