00:00:00.800 --> 00:00:07.580
 Father, we confess before you that too often when we read your word or hear your word,

00:00:07.679 --> 00:00:10.160
 we think of how it applies to other people and not ourselves.

00:00:10.960 --> 00:00:16.100
 We think, Father, of the specks in other people's eyes and not the logs in our own eyes.

00:00:16.920 --> 00:00:20.780
 And so we ask, Father, that your Holy Spirit would do a wonderful work in our midst

00:00:20.780 --> 00:00:24.620
 and that you would bring your word to our hearts,

00:00:24.879 --> 00:00:29.280
 that you would bring your word to our hearts so that it would speak clearly to us

00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:35.120
 and that as you speak to us at the depth of our heart, the command center of who we are,

00:00:35.719 --> 00:00:39.620
 Father, please make us disciples of Jesus who are gripped by the gospel

00:00:39.620 --> 00:00:42.560
 and learning to live for your glory and not our own.

00:00:43.060 --> 00:00:47.180
 And all this we ask in the name of Jesus, your Son and our Savior. Amen.

00:00:47.939 --> 00:00:48.859
 Please be seated.

00:00:52.859 --> 00:00:56.840
 Andrew and I have slightly different ideas about how we like to have the table set.

00:00:56.840 --> 00:01:00.700
 So I do it here for the sermon. Everything else is the way Andrew likes it.

00:01:01.900 --> 00:01:05.300
 You know, there's things that happen in the world that you just can't make up.

00:01:05.960 --> 00:01:09.700
 On the 13th of March, I think that was Wednesday,

00:01:11.540 --> 00:01:14.540
 Iran, by a lot of...

00:01:14.540 --> 00:01:18.600
 One of the scales I saw that was rating how different countries treat women,

00:01:18.599 --> 00:01:26.079
 out of 149 countries, Iran finished 146th out of 149.

00:01:26.500 --> 00:01:28.079
 And you can't make some of this stuff up,

00:01:28.179 --> 00:01:33.739
 but on March the 13th, Iran was put on the UN Council for Women.

00:01:35.039 --> 00:01:36.119
 Not making that up.

00:01:36.379 --> 00:01:37.539
 UN Council for Women.

00:01:37.719 --> 00:01:40.459
 So they are now part of the body that gets to judge

00:01:40.459 --> 00:01:43.719
 how different nations are treating women.

00:01:43.719 --> 00:01:47.359
 And in terms of not being able to make this stuff up,

00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:51.760
 the same day that they got named to the UN Human Rights Commission

00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:54.519
 that looks after the concerns of women,

00:01:54.700 --> 00:01:56.719
 that same day they sentenced...

00:01:57.539 --> 00:01:58.260
 And I don't...

00:01:58.260 --> 00:02:01.120
 If those of you know how to pronounce Iranian names,

00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:03.259
 I ask your forgiveness if I get this wrong.

00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:07.719
 Nazrin Sotute, a woman lawyer,

00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:13.900
 the same day they got put on the UN Human Rights Committee for Women,

00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:16.639
 they sentenced this lawyer, this woman lawyer,

00:02:16.780 --> 00:02:18.639
 to an extra 10 years in jail.

00:02:19.780 --> 00:02:24.219
 And her crime was that she was protesting the laws in Iran

00:02:24.219 --> 00:02:26.939
 that forced all women to wear the hijab.

00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:30.699
 So the same day they get put on the Human Rights Council,

00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:32.159
 they do that.

00:02:32.620 --> 00:02:34.280
 You can't make this stuff up, can you?

00:02:34.340 --> 00:02:36.979
 I mean, it's just one of those things you just shake your head

00:02:36.979 --> 00:02:38.359
 at what goes on.

00:02:39.079 --> 00:02:41.379
 The fact of the matter is

00:02:41.379 --> 00:02:43.479
 that as long as there's been human beings,

00:02:43.539 --> 00:02:45.079
 and I could give Canadian examples,

00:02:45.319 --> 00:02:46.519
 but the problem is, you know,

00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:48.359
 we've already talked about Canadian examples

00:02:48.359 --> 00:02:49.979
 a little bit over the last couple of weeks,

00:02:50.679 --> 00:02:52.439
 and it could make it look like

00:02:52.439 --> 00:02:54.299
 I was maybe trying to play political favorites,

00:02:54.439 --> 00:02:55.159
 which I'm not.

00:02:55.780 --> 00:02:57.120
 The fact of the matter is

00:02:57.120 --> 00:02:59.859
 is that issues of religious violence

00:02:59.860 --> 00:03:03.600
 and just the whole desire for power

00:03:03.600 --> 00:03:05.840
 and how power can corrupt

00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:09.260
 is a constant human problem and condition.

00:03:09.880 --> 00:03:12.260
 And the biblical passage that we're going to look at today

00:03:12.260 --> 00:03:14.000
 is directly connected

00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:15.860
 and speaks directly in

00:03:15.860 --> 00:03:19.000
 to this problem of religious violence,

00:03:19.380 --> 00:03:21.260
 the problem of the abuse of power.

00:03:21.620 --> 00:03:22.920
 So it'd be a great help to me

00:03:22.920 --> 00:03:24.600
 if you turned your Bibles

00:03:24.600 --> 00:03:26.600
 and opened them to John chapter 18.

00:03:26.599 --> 00:03:28.739
 And we're going to look at that,

00:03:28.819 --> 00:03:29.859
 not only the text I read,

00:03:29.939 --> 00:03:31.319
 but the part that comes after it.

00:03:32.259 --> 00:03:33.939
 When we do narrative things like this,

00:03:33.979 --> 00:03:35.639
 I often have the text up on the screen,

00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:37.120
 so you will be able to read it

00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:37.959
 by looking on the screen.

00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:39.019
 But, you know, there's something special

00:03:39.019 --> 00:03:40.060
 about having your own Bible

00:03:40.060 --> 00:03:42.759
 and being able to make notes or comments

00:03:42.759 --> 00:03:43.919
 or whatever in your own Bible

00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:44.659
 as you go along.

00:03:45.359 --> 00:03:46.780
 And so we're looking at John.

00:03:47.019 --> 00:03:48.859
 It's John chapter 18, verse 1.

00:03:49.500 --> 00:03:52.659
 And John is one of the four ancient

00:03:52.659 --> 00:03:54.939
 eyewitness biographies of Jesus.

00:03:54.939 --> 00:04:00.599
 John mentions himself here in the story,

00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:02.840
 but he'll refer to himself as the other disciple.

00:04:02.979 --> 00:04:04.020
 He never names himself.

00:04:04.919 --> 00:04:06.479
 And in the flow of the gospel,

00:04:06.740 --> 00:04:08.800
 John spends more time

00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:11.360
 with how Jesus speaks to his disciples

00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:15.400
 on the night before he's betrayed.

00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:18.120
 That four, six, eight hours,

00:04:18.579 --> 00:04:20.420
 John spends a long time

00:04:20.420 --> 00:04:22.759
 talking about what Jesus says to his disciples.

00:04:22.759 --> 00:04:25.759
 And when we begin here at verse 1,

00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:27.279
 we're catching up with Jesus

00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:28.800
 has left the upper room

00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:31.599
 and the story continues on

00:04:31.599 --> 00:04:32.579
 and it's verse 1

00:04:32.579 --> 00:04:33.639
 and it goes like this.

00:04:34.980 --> 00:04:36.759
 When Jesus had spoken these words,

00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:38.459
 he went out with his disciples

00:04:38.459 --> 00:04:40.279
 across the brook Kidron

00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:41.920
 where there was a garden

00:04:41.920 --> 00:04:44.439
 which he and his disciples entered.

00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:46.500
 I just sort of want to pause here for a second.

00:04:47.039 --> 00:04:49.240
 The actual original word for brook

00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:51.500
 is a, I don't know if I'm pronouncing this correctly,

00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:52.699
 apologies, it's a wadi.

00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:56.340
 A very Middle Eastern thing, a wadi.

00:04:56.460 --> 00:04:59.319
 A wadi is a spring or a small river

00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:01.759
 that only erupts into water

00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:03.660
 occasionally throughout the year.

00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:04.920
 Usually in the rainy season,

00:05:05.379 --> 00:05:06.579
 there'll be a stream

00:05:06.579 --> 00:05:07.939
 or there'll be some water there.

00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:09.120
 The rest of the year, there's nothing.

00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:12.199
 And that's what Jesus is actually crossing.

00:05:12.860 --> 00:05:13.660
 And the other thing,

00:05:14.620 --> 00:05:16.080
 which is sort of is just,

00:05:16.180 --> 00:05:17.300
 we're going to talk about this more

00:05:17.300 --> 00:05:18.100
 in a couple of weeks.

00:05:18.760 --> 00:05:20.680
 But out of all of the gospel writers,

00:05:20.880 --> 00:05:22.800
 John is the one who emphasizes the most

00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:24.640
 that this is all taking place in a garden.

00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:27.360
 John is going to mention three times

00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:28.680
 the significance of the garden.

00:05:28.780 --> 00:05:29.760
 He's going to mention it here

00:05:29.760 --> 00:05:31.660
 where Jesus is betrayed is in a garden.

00:05:32.260 --> 00:05:33.200
 He's going to describe

00:05:33.200 --> 00:05:35.760
 that where Jesus is crucified is in a garden.

00:05:36.260 --> 00:05:37.620
 And he's going to be the one who says

00:05:37.620 --> 00:05:38.920
 that when Jesus is buried,

00:05:39.100 --> 00:05:40.100
 it's in a garden.

00:05:40.700 --> 00:05:42.879
 And of course, for Jewish and Christian readers,

00:05:43.660 --> 00:05:44.780
 Genesis 3,

00:05:45.500 --> 00:05:47.120
 human beings were put in a garden.

00:05:47.780 --> 00:05:49.900
 Adam and Eve fall in a garden.

00:05:50.439 --> 00:05:53.160
 There's this very clear literary connection

00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:54.400
 which John is making

00:05:54.400 --> 00:05:57.880
 to Adam and Eve

00:05:57.880 --> 00:06:00.800
 and the entrance of evil into the world.

00:06:01.040 --> 00:06:03.260
 So evil and sin and death

00:06:03.260 --> 00:06:04.920
 and brokenness and betrayal

00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:08.940
 and denial and abandonment and failure,

00:06:08.940 --> 00:06:11.020
 all of these things enter

00:06:11.019 --> 00:06:12.740
 into the human condition

00:06:12.740 --> 00:06:14.019
 in a garden.

00:06:14.779 --> 00:06:15.979
 And it is in a garden

00:06:15.979 --> 00:06:19.139
 that God will provide a remedy

00:06:19.139 --> 00:06:20.939
 for the human condition.

00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:23.879
 We continue in verse 2.

00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:27.079
 Now Judas, who betrayed Jesus,

00:06:27.620 --> 00:06:28.719
 also knew the place,

00:06:29.159 --> 00:06:31.019
 for Jesus often met there

00:06:31.019 --> 00:06:31.839
 with his disciples.

00:06:32.019 --> 00:06:34.219
 So Judas, having procured

00:06:34.219 --> 00:06:35.500
 a band of soldiers

00:06:35.500 --> 00:06:36.759
 and some officers

00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:37.860
 from the chief priests

00:06:37.860 --> 00:06:38.680
 and the Pharisees,

00:06:38.779 --> 00:06:40.579
 went there with lanterns

00:06:40.579 --> 00:06:42.560
 and torches and weapons.

00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:44.680
 And just sort of pause for a second.

00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:46.480
 It's not obvious

00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:47.600
 in the English translation,

00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:49.860
 but in the original language,

00:06:50.060 --> 00:06:52.079
 John uses a technical word

00:06:52.079 --> 00:06:53.519
 for band of soldiers.

00:06:54.459 --> 00:06:55.139
 It's actually,

00:06:55.219 --> 00:06:56.639
 he's using the technical word

00:06:56.639 --> 00:06:58.819
 for a group of 600 soldiers.

00:06:59.000 --> 00:06:59.800
 It's called a cohort.

00:07:00.819 --> 00:07:02.120
 And he's not saying

00:07:02.120 --> 00:07:04.459
 that all 600 soldiers came.

00:07:05.659 --> 00:07:06.379
 You know, if in Ottawa

00:07:06.379 --> 00:07:07.659
 you said that the fire department

00:07:07.659 --> 00:07:08.599
 put out the fire,

00:07:08.939 --> 00:07:10.620
 it doesn't mean that every fireman

00:07:10.620 --> 00:07:11.599
 went to put out the fire.

00:07:11.699 --> 00:07:12.799
 It just means the fire department

00:07:12.799 --> 00:07:13.519
 put out the fire.

00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:15.219
 And what John is using here

00:07:15.219 --> 00:07:17.199
 is using the technical Roman term

00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:19.060
 for a very large group

00:07:19.060 --> 00:07:20.019
 of Roman soldiers.

00:07:20.019 --> 00:07:21.879
 And he's signaling to the readers

00:07:21.879 --> 00:07:23.639
 that this means

00:07:23.639 --> 00:07:25.719
 that there's been prior collusion

00:07:25.719 --> 00:07:27.699
 between Pilate

00:07:27.699 --> 00:07:32.240
 and the group of people

00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:33.740
 who control the temple.

00:07:34.439 --> 00:07:36.680
 They have conspired in secret

00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:37.879
 because there's no way

00:07:37.879 --> 00:07:38.459
 that the people

00:07:38.459 --> 00:07:39.459
 who control the temple

00:07:39.459 --> 00:07:40.620
 would be able to just,

00:07:41.139 --> 00:07:41.399
 you know,

00:07:41.779 --> 00:07:44.180
 the bishop of Ottawa

00:07:44.180 --> 00:07:46.839
 couldn't go up to CFB Petawawa

00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:47.299
 and say,

00:07:47.300 --> 00:07:49.400
 could we borrow 100 soldiers

00:07:49.400 --> 00:07:50.639
 because we want to go do something?

00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:51.400
 No, they just say,

00:07:51.600 --> 00:07:52.139
 they say,

00:07:52.199 --> 00:07:52.840
 get out of here, right?

00:07:52.860 --> 00:07:54.079
 They don't have the power authority.

00:07:54.579 --> 00:07:55.400
 So John here

00:07:55.400 --> 00:07:56.620
 at the original language,

00:07:56.720 --> 00:07:57.400
 he's signaling

00:07:57.400 --> 00:07:59.240
 a conspiracy collusion

00:07:59.240 --> 00:08:00.960
 between the Roman authorities

00:08:00.960 --> 00:08:02.520
 and those who control

00:08:02.520 --> 00:08:04.439
 the Jewish high temple.

00:08:05.379 --> 00:08:06.139
 Verse 4,

00:08:06.379 --> 00:08:07.259
 continue on.

00:08:07.980 --> 00:08:08.620
 Then Jesus,

00:08:09.100 --> 00:08:10.439
 knowing all that would happen

00:08:10.439 --> 00:08:11.139
 to him,

00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:12.740
 came forward,

00:08:13.580 --> 00:08:14.439
 came forward,

00:08:14.439 --> 00:08:15.860
 walked towards them

00:08:15.860 --> 00:08:16.899
 and said to them,

00:08:17.500 --> 00:08:18.600
 whom do you seek?

00:08:19.259 --> 00:08:20.600
 I just want to pause there again.

00:08:21.180 --> 00:08:23.000
 It's very, very interesting here

00:08:23.000 --> 00:08:24.000
 what John is doing.

00:08:24.939 --> 00:08:25.100
 Sorry,

00:08:25.219 --> 00:08:26.379
 it's very interesting

00:08:26.379 --> 00:08:27.339
 in two ways.

00:08:27.879 --> 00:08:28.860
 The first one is

00:08:28.860 --> 00:08:29.740
 if you go back

00:08:29.740 --> 00:08:30.920
 and read the Gospel of John

00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:32.159
 from the beginning till now

00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:35.019
 and it's made a bit easier

00:08:35.019 --> 00:08:36.159
 if you have a Bible like mine

00:08:36.159 --> 00:08:37.360
 where the words of Jesus

00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:38.059
 are in red,

00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:38.899
 it makes it easier

00:08:38.899 --> 00:08:40.080
 to figure out certain things.

00:08:40.460 --> 00:08:41.360
 But if you go and look

00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:42.820
 and see in John's Gospel

00:08:42.820 --> 00:08:44.200
 what is the very first thing

00:08:44.200 --> 00:08:45.400
 that Jesus ever says

00:08:45.400 --> 00:08:47.220
 recorded in John's Gospel?

00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:48.260
 It is,

00:08:48.460 --> 00:08:49.540
 what do you seek?

00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:51.680
 Very, very first words

00:08:51.680 --> 00:08:52.440
 that Jesus says.

00:08:52.900 --> 00:08:53.820
 It isn't a declaration,

00:08:54.620 --> 00:08:55.300
 it's a question.

00:08:55.720 --> 00:08:56.440
 What are you seeking?

00:08:57.940 --> 00:08:58.640
 And it's really

00:08:58.640 --> 00:08:59.900
 a very, very interesting question

00:08:59.900 --> 00:09:00.800
 to every human being,

00:09:00.860 --> 00:09:01.160
 isn't it?

00:09:01.160 --> 00:09:02.160
 Like, what are you seeking?

00:09:02.340 --> 00:09:03.220
 You can ask that of,

00:09:03.300 --> 00:09:04.660
 you could ask that of Trudeau,

00:09:04.740 --> 00:09:05.940
 you could ask that of Andrew Scheer,

00:09:06.020 --> 00:09:07.340
 you could ask of a street person,

00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:08.060
 you could ask of everyone.

00:09:08.140 --> 00:09:08.960
 Like, what are you seeking?

00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:09.800
 What are your idols?

00:09:09.980 --> 00:09:10.840
 What's driving you?

00:09:11.140 --> 00:09:12.340
 It's the very, very first words

00:09:12.340 --> 00:09:13.080
 that Jesus says.

00:09:13.620 --> 00:09:14.519
 The same thing

00:09:14.519 --> 00:09:15.460
 can also be translated

00:09:15.460 --> 00:09:16.980
 as whom you are seeking.

00:09:17.399 --> 00:09:18.220
 Sort of a bit better

00:09:18.220 --> 00:09:19.259
 to translate it as what.

00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:20.780
 And so Jesus asks

00:09:20.780 --> 00:09:22.580
 virtually the identical question

00:09:22.580 --> 00:09:23.280
 of his enemies.

00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:25.200
 Whom are you seeking?

00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:28.100
 So just as the beginning

00:09:28.100 --> 00:09:29.180
 of his ministry,

00:09:29.820 --> 00:09:31.000
 his public ministry

00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:32.180
 and his open teaching,

00:09:32.460 --> 00:09:34.220
 it's going to be prefaced

00:09:34.220 --> 00:09:35.399
 with this idea of,

00:09:35.560 --> 00:09:36.300
 like, okay,

00:09:36.400 --> 00:09:38.100
 as you're coming to deal with me,

00:09:38.800 --> 00:09:39.780
 and you might think

00:09:39.780 --> 00:09:40.759
 that you're in control,

00:09:40.940 --> 00:09:41.860
 and you might just think

00:09:41.860 --> 00:09:43.560
 that you can be acquiring information,

00:09:43.740 --> 00:09:45.220
 or it's just all about power,

00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:48.379
 Jesus asks a heart question

00:09:48.379 --> 00:09:51.500
 in all of your interactions with me.

00:09:51.500 --> 00:09:52.580
 What are you really seeking?

00:09:53.220 --> 00:09:54.440
 Because what we're seeking

00:09:54.440 --> 00:09:55.019
 is going to have

00:09:55.019 --> 00:09:56.300
 a profound effect

00:09:56.300 --> 00:09:57.220
 and impact

00:09:57.220 --> 00:09:58.740
 on how we deal with people.

00:09:59.720 --> 00:10:00.440
 That's what's going to go

00:10:00.440 --> 00:10:01.039
 in the story.

00:10:01.500 --> 00:10:02.740
 As the story goes on,

00:10:02.820 --> 00:10:03.960
 we'll see that the soldiers

00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:04.879
 aren't seeking,

00:10:05.019 --> 00:10:06.019
 the soldiers and the police

00:10:06.019 --> 00:10:07.159
 aren't seeking justice.

00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:08.519
 We're going to see

00:10:08.519 --> 00:10:09.879
 that Annas and Pilate

00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:11.100
 aren't seeking justice,

00:10:11.579 --> 00:10:13.199
 that they're seeking power,

00:10:13.319 --> 00:10:14.319
 they're seeking other types

00:10:14.319 --> 00:10:14.699
 of things,

00:10:14.759 --> 00:10:16.039
 they're not seeking truth.

00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:18.019
 If they were seeking truth,

00:10:18.299 --> 00:10:19.279
 there'd be a whole pile

00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:20.079
 of things that they would

00:10:20.079 --> 00:10:20.840
 do very different,

00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:22.519
 but what they really are seeking

00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:24.139
 is power.

00:10:25.220 --> 00:10:26.259
 And because what they're

00:10:26.259 --> 00:10:27.740
 really seeking is power,

00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:29.480
 personal power,

00:10:29.559 --> 00:10:30.740
 it blinds them to truth

00:10:30.740 --> 00:10:31.939
 and blinds them to the value,

00:10:32.079 --> 00:10:33.220
 it blinds them to a whole pile

00:10:33.220 --> 00:10:33.879
 of other things.

00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:37.000
 And so it's a really important thing

00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:38.179
 for us to think about this.

00:10:38.759 --> 00:10:39.939
 There are some of us here

00:10:39.939 --> 00:10:40.559
 who have very,

00:10:40.679 --> 00:10:41.500
 very little power.

00:10:43.820 --> 00:10:44.759
 But all of us have

00:10:44.759 --> 00:10:45.639
 some degree of power.

00:10:45.759 --> 00:10:46.539
 Maybe it's a parent

00:10:46.539 --> 00:10:48.100
 who has power over their child

00:10:48.100 --> 00:10:49.279
 or you have power

00:10:49.279 --> 00:10:50.279
 in your group of friends,

00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:51.320
 some type of authority

00:10:51.320 --> 00:10:52.000
 or influence.

00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:53.379
 And the question always is,

00:10:53.460 --> 00:10:54.620
 how are you actually using that?

00:10:55.779 --> 00:10:56.700
 There's another thing

00:10:56.700 --> 00:10:57.679
 which is really important

00:10:57.679 --> 00:10:59.059
 for us just to note here.

00:10:59.220 --> 00:11:00.460
 It's not an important part

00:11:00.460 --> 00:11:00.940
 of the story,

00:11:00.940 --> 00:11:01.980
 but it's an important thing

00:11:01.980 --> 00:11:03.340
 for us just to pause on.

00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:06.759
 It's very hard

00:11:06.759 --> 00:11:09.439
 to be an out Christian today.

00:11:10.820 --> 00:11:12.299
 I love that term

00:11:12.299 --> 00:11:14.519
 from the gay lexicon

00:11:14.519 --> 00:11:15.939
 of being out.

00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:17.840
 And it's very hard

00:11:17.840 --> 00:11:19.939
 to be an out Christian today

00:11:19.939 --> 00:11:21.600
 if we think about it.

00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:23.179
 And one of the things

00:11:23.179 --> 00:11:24.139
 which is so wonderful

00:11:24.139 --> 00:11:25.240
 about this text

00:11:25.240 --> 00:11:26.559
 is that Jesus,

00:11:27.019 --> 00:11:28.820
 he knows that he's going to die.

00:11:28.940 --> 00:11:30.159
 He knows that these people

00:11:30.159 --> 00:11:30.799
 are his enemies,

00:11:30.799 --> 00:11:32.100
 but he walks towards them.

00:11:33.040 --> 00:11:34.420
 He walks towards his enemies.

00:11:35.700 --> 00:11:37.340
 And in some small way,

00:11:37.420 --> 00:11:38.279
 but an important way,

00:11:38.399 --> 00:11:39.360
 Jesus is modeling

00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:40.120
 something here

00:11:40.120 --> 00:11:40.600
 which should be

00:11:40.600 --> 00:11:41.860
 very important to us,

00:11:42.060 --> 00:11:43.540
 that we should be willing

00:11:43.540 --> 00:11:44.580
 to be out Christians

00:11:44.580 --> 00:11:46.220
 and that God doesn't want us

00:11:46.220 --> 00:11:47.080
 to live in fear.

00:11:47.840 --> 00:11:48.379
 He doesn't want us

00:11:48.379 --> 00:11:50.379
 to live in our city in fear,

00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:52.100
 in this world in fear.

00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:53.960
 He wants us to be people

00:11:53.960 --> 00:11:55.940
 who walks toward the other,

00:11:56.279 --> 00:11:58.300
 who walks towards other people,

00:11:58.299 --> 00:12:01.479
 who walks towards situations

00:12:01.479 --> 00:12:03.620
 rather than hiding from them

00:12:03.620 --> 00:12:04.839
 and walking away.

00:12:05.479 --> 00:12:07.919
 He wants us to have a type of

00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:10.359
 just confidence in God

00:12:10.359 --> 00:12:12.099
 and love for people

00:12:12.099 --> 00:12:13.599
 and concern for people

00:12:13.599 --> 00:12:15.379
 that we walk towards them

00:12:15.379 --> 00:12:16.939
 but not live in fear.

00:12:16.940 --> 00:12:20.260
 Well, what happens

00:12:20.260 --> 00:12:23.460
 next is very, very interesting.

00:12:23.460 --> 00:12:25.080
 So Jesus, verse 4,

00:12:25.200 --> 00:12:26.520
 Jesus asks them this question,

00:12:26.940 --> 00:12:27.740
 whom do you speak,

00:12:27.820 --> 00:12:28.500
 whom do you seek?

00:12:28.860 --> 00:12:29.900
 In verse 5,

00:12:30.860 --> 00:12:32.120
 they answered him,

00:12:32.540 --> 00:12:33.760
 Jesus of Nazareth.

00:12:34.440 --> 00:12:35.840
 And Jesus said to them,

00:12:36.160 --> 00:12:37.020
 I am he.

00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:39.100
 Judas, who betrayed him,

00:12:39.140 --> 00:12:40.080
 was standing with him.

00:12:40.100 --> 00:12:41.160
 And just pause here again

00:12:41.160 --> 00:12:41.900
 for another second.

00:12:42.320 --> 00:12:43.660
 So it's not obvious here

00:12:43.660 --> 00:12:44.500
 to us maybe,

00:12:44.500 --> 00:12:45.580
 some of you have heard me

00:12:45.580 --> 00:12:46.340
 say this before,

00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:47.519
 but it's an important part

00:12:47.519 --> 00:12:48.279
 of this text,

00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:49.500
 is that when they,

00:12:49.580 --> 00:12:50.179
 so Jesus said,

00:12:50.220 --> 00:12:50.860
 whom do you seek?

00:12:51.440 --> 00:12:52.399
 And they don't say,

00:12:52.519 --> 00:12:53.100
 Rabbi,

00:12:54.419 --> 00:12:55.100
 we're coming to see

00:12:55.100 --> 00:12:55.960
 Jesus the Rabbi

00:12:55.960 --> 00:12:57.139
 or we're coming to see

00:12:57.139 --> 00:12:58.059
 Jesus the Prophet.

00:12:58.220 --> 00:12:58.559
 They say,

00:12:58.639 --> 00:12:59.500
 we're coming to see,

00:12:59.879 --> 00:13:01.460
 we're seeking Jesus of Nazareth

00:13:01.460 --> 00:13:02.460
 and that's a put down.

00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:04.179
 Would be just the same

00:13:04.179 --> 00:13:06.080
 as if one of us,

00:13:06.580 --> 00:13:07.980
 if you went to Manhattan

00:13:07.980 --> 00:13:09.500
 in New York City

00:13:09.500 --> 00:13:10.740
 or you went to Washington

00:13:10.740 --> 00:13:11.759
 or you went to Hollywood

00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:13.159
 and somebody came

00:13:13.159 --> 00:13:14.120
 and introduced you

00:13:14.120 --> 00:13:16.019
 will use me as an example.

00:13:16.139 --> 00:13:16.840
 This is George

00:13:16.840 --> 00:13:17.659
 from Brudenell.

00:13:19.419 --> 00:13:19.639
 Okay,

00:13:19.700 --> 00:13:20.259
 none of you know

00:13:20.259 --> 00:13:21.179
 where Brudenell is.

00:13:21.820 --> 00:13:22.560
 If you do come

00:13:22.560 --> 00:13:23.580
 and speak to me afterwards

00:13:23.580 --> 00:13:24.899
 because you're a bit weird

00:13:24.899 --> 00:13:25.639
 or you must be

00:13:25.639 --> 00:13:26.379
 from that region,

00:13:26.539 --> 00:13:28.039
 Brudenell is a spot

00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:28.500
 on a map

00:13:28.500 --> 00:13:29.740
 between nowhere and nowhere.

00:13:30.320 --> 00:13:31.419
 Tremor is a spot

00:13:31.419 --> 00:13:31.899
 on the map

00:13:31.899 --> 00:13:33.620
 between nowhere and nowhere.

00:13:33.940 --> 00:13:34.340
 Clontarf,

00:13:34.740 --> 00:13:35.159
 spot on the,

00:13:35.159 --> 00:13:36.220
 I used to have points there

00:13:36.220 --> 00:13:36.580
 by the way

00:13:36.580 --> 00:13:37.840
 as a minister.

00:13:38.680 --> 00:13:39.620
 So what they're saying

00:13:39.620 --> 00:13:40.580
 is this is Jesus

00:13:40.580 --> 00:13:41.879
 of Nowheresville.

00:13:41.879 --> 00:13:43.320
 This is Jesus

00:13:43.320 --> 00:13:44.439
 who is unimportant

00:13:44.439 --> 00:13:45.759
 because he's from Nazareth

00:13:45.759 --> 00:13:46.860
 and nothing good

00:13:46.860 --> 00:13:47.720
 comes from Nazareth,

00:13:47.820 --> 00:13:48.539
 nothing important.

00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:49.439
 It's nowhere.

00:13:49.960 --> 00:13:50.779
 It's Hicksville.

00:13:51.100 --> 00:13:52.480
 It's a hillbilly.

00:13:53.539 --> 00:13:55.279
 He's not properly educated,

00:13:55.379 --> 00:13:56.580
 doesn't have the right connections.

00:13:56.980 --> 00:13:57.980
 Who are we looking for?

00:13:58.179 --> 00:13:59.399
 We are looking for Jesus,

00:13:59.559 --> 00:13:59.960
 the nobody.

00:14:00.379 --> 00:14:01.779
 That's what they're basically saying

00:14:01.779 --> 00:14:03.019
 in response

00:14:03.019 --> 00:14:04.820
 to who they're looking.

00:14:05.419 --> 00:14:06.019
 And Jesus,

00:14:06.159 --> 00:14:06.460
 by the way,

00:14:06.559 --> 00:14:07.220
 when all the,

00:14:07.299 --> 00:14:08.039
 there's three times

00:14:08.039 --> 00:14:08.580
 in this text

00:14:08.580 --> 00:14:09.259
 where Jesus says,

00:14:09.259 --> 00:14:09.840
 I am he,

00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:11.240
 but literally he says,

00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:11.860
 I am.

00:14:13.419 --> 00:14:15.019
 Now it can mean I am he,

00:14:15.080 --> 00:14:15.840
 but it can also mean

00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:16.539
 the divine name.

00:14:17.019 --> 00:14:17.759
 That's how he answers,

00:14:17.879 --> 00:14:18.340
 three times,

00:14:18.419 --> 00:14:18.799
 I am.

00:14:19.779 --> 00:14:20.419
 I am,

00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:20.860
 I am,

00:14:20.939 --> 00:14:21.360
 I am.

00:14:21.919 --> 00:14:22.939
 And the text makes

00:14:22.939 --> 00:14:23.819
 a big point

00:14:23.819 --> 00:14:24.700
 of saying that Jesus,

00:14:24.939 --> 00:14:25.220
 Judas,

00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:26.919
 who betrayed them

00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:27.899
 was standing with them.

00:14:28.039 --> 00:14:29.360
 So the disciples

00:14:29.360 --> 00:14:30.340
 are behind Jesus

00:14:30.340 --> 00:14:31.000
 in the garden.

00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:31.580
 Judas,

00:14:31.740 --> 00:14:32.720
 Jesus walks

00:14:32.720 --> 00:14:33.879
 towards his enemies.

00:14:34.419 --> 00:14:35.759
 He walks across the room,

00:14:35.860 --> 00:14:36.500
 so to speak,

00:14:36.500 --> 00:14:38.159
 and his enemies

00:14:38.159 --> 00:14:38.840
 are all there,

00:14:38.940 --> 00:14:40.059
 maybe gathered around

00:14:40.059 --> 00:14:41.860
 and they say,

00:14:42.000 --> 00:14:42.700
 Jesus says,

00:14:42.740 --> 00:14:43.500
 whom do you seek?

00:14:44.019 --> 00:14:44.980
 They respond

00:14:44.980 --> 00:14:45.899
 with Jesus,

00:14:46.080 --> 00:14:46.539
 the nobody.

00:14:47.279 --> 00:14:47.860
 Jesus says,

00:14:47.960 --> 00:14:48.519
 I am he.

00:14:48.659 --> 00:14:49.600
 Judas is with them.

00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:50.779
 And then the next thing

00:14:50.779 --> 00:14:51.259
 is very,

00:14:51.399 --> 00:14:52.139
 very interesting.

00:14:52.500 --> 00:14:53.159
 Verse six.

00:14:55.000 --> 00:14:56.279
 When Jesus said to them,

00:14:56.379 --> 00:14:57.200
 I am he,

00:14:57.799 --> 00:14:58.940
 they drew back

00:14:58.940 --> 00:15:00.220
 and fell to the ground.

00:15:02.279 --> 00:15:02.960
 I don't know

00:15:02.960 --> 00:15:03.440
 how many of you

00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:04.039
 have experience

00:15:04.039 --> 00:15:05.519
 in the charismatic world,

00:15:05.519 --> 00:15:07.220
 but charismatics

00:15:07.220 --> 00:15:07.759
 would say,

00:15:07.960 --> 00:15:08.980
 they just all got

00:15:08.980 --> 00:15:09.899
 slain in the spirit.

00:15:11.179 --> 00:15:12.159
 That's what's happened.

00:15:13.279 --> 00:15:13.919
 Jesus says,

00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:14.480
 I am.

00:15:15.340 --> 00:15:15.699
 Boom.

00:15:16.340 --> 00:15:17.519
 They all go down.

00:15:17.840 --> 00:15:18.480
 All of them.

00:15:19.039 --> 00:15:19.840
 The soldiers,

00:15:21.059 --> 00:15:22.519
 the police officers,

00:15:23.139 --> 00:15:23.439
 Judas,

00:15:23.840 --> 00:15:25.579
 they all get knocked

00:15:25.579 --> 00:15:26.519
 to the ground.

00:15:27.240 --> 00:15:28.059
 The swords,

00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:29.299
 the lanterns,

00:15:29.399 --> 00:15:30.100
 the armor,

00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:32.399
 none of it matters.

00:15:33.179 --> 00:15:33.519
 Boom.

00:15:33.519 --> 00:15:33.600
 Boom.

00:15:34.960 --> 00:15:36.199
 Just says who he is

00:15:36.199 --> 00:15:37.399
 and down they go.

00:15:37.659 --> 00:15:38.340
 Every one of them.

00:15:42.000 --> 00:15:42.399
 Now,

00:15:42.460 --> 00:15:43.000
 I'm not saying

00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:43.600
 that every time

00:15:43.600 --> 00:15:44.819
 in a charismatic gathering

00:15:44.819 --> 00:15:45.679
 somebody gets slain

00:15:45.679 --> 00:15:46.139
 in the spirit

00:15:46.139 --> 00:15:47.139
 that's an example of that.

00:15:47.179 --> 00:15:47.840
 I'm not saying that.

00:15:47.899 --> 00:15:49.079
 I've only had one time

00:15:49.079 --> 00:15:50.199
 when I prayed for somebody

00:15:50.199 --> 00:15:51.899
 and they fell down.

00:15:53.679 --> 00:15:54.840
 I have to confess,

00:15:54.960 --> 00:15:55.620
 I had the feeling

00:15:55.620 --> 00:15:56.319
 that they wanted

00:15:56.319 --> 00:15:57.159
 to fall down,

00:15:57.279 --> 00:15:58.340
 but I don't know.

00:15:59.340 --> 00:15:59.639
 Like,

00:15:59.759 --> 00:16:00.159
 in heaven,

00:16:00.220 --> 00:16:00.720
 I'll find out

00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:01.379
 whether they wanted

00:16:01.379 --> 00:16:02.039
 to fall down

00:16:02.039 --> 00:16:02.539
 because it would be

00:16:02.539 --> 00:16:03.319
 more spiritual

00:16:03.319 --> 00:16:04.399
 or whether they

00:16:04.399 --> 00:16:05.219
 actually just did.

00:16:05.279 --> 00:16:06.179
 I prayed for them

00:16:06.179 --> 00:16:07.779
 and down they went.

00:16:08.039 --> 00:16:08.639
 It's only happened

00:16:08.639 --> 00:16:09.279
 to me once,

00:16:09.439 --> 00:16:10.179
 but some people

00:16:10.179 --> 00:16:11.219
 it happens to them a lot.

00:16:11.339 --> 00:16:11.899
 And I'm not saying

00:16:11.899 --> 00:16:12.399
 that every time

00:16:12.399 --> 00:16:12.879
 it happens

00:16:12.879 --> 00:16:14.919
 it's human

00:16:14.919 --> 00:16:16.879
 because we can see here

00:16:16.879 --> 00:16:17.759
 that Jesus does it.

00:16:17.899 --> 00:16:18.839
 And this is going to be

00:16:18.839 --> 00:16:19.980
 very, very important

00:16:19.980 --> 00:16:21.079
 to the rest of the story.

00:16:22.559 --> 00:16:23.000
 You know,

00:16:23.019 --> 00:16:23.919
 there's an old Christian

00:16:23.919 --> 00:16:24.879
 saying that

00:16:24.879 --> 00:16:26.000
 when Jesus is hanging

00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:26.819
 on the cross

00:16:26.819 --> 00:16:28.620
 dying for us,

00:16:28.620 --> 00:16:30.779
 it's not the nails

00:16:30.779 --> 00:16:31.620
 that hold them

00:16:31.620 --> 00:16:32.399
 to the cross

00:16:32.399 --> 00:16:33.159
 but his love

00:16:33.159 --> 00:16:33.860
 for you and me.

00:16:35.060 --> 00:16:36.080
 And this is seen here

00:16:36.080 --> 00:16:37.039
 very powerfully

00:16:37.039 --> 00:16:37.779
 in this story.

00:16:38.639 --> 00:16:39.639
 Jesus just knocks

00:16:39.639 --> 00:16:40.279
 them all down.

00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:43.220
 How could these people

00:16:43.220 --> 00:16:45.240
 possibly capture Jesus

00:16:45.240 --> 00:16:46.299
 and put him on the cross

00:16:46.299 --> 00:16:47.659
 if he just by a mere act

00:16:47.659 --> 00:16:48.200
 of his will

00:16:48.200 --> 00:16:49.379
 can put them all

00:16:49.379 --> 00:16:49.899
 on the ground?

00:16:50.799 --> 00:16:51.600
 It helps emphasize

00:16:51.600 --> 00:16:52.860
 that whatever's going

00:16:52.860 --> 00:16:53.279
 to happen

00:16:53.279 --> 00:16:54.539
 is voluntary.

00:16:55.000 --> 00:16:55.980
 Jesus is walking

00:16:55.980 --> 00:16:57.240
 towards his suffering.

00:16:57.240 --> 00:16:58.560
 he's not truly

00:16:58.560 --> 00:16:59.299
 being captured.

00:17:01.159 --> 00:17:02.399
 The story continues.

00:17:02.519 --> 00:17:02.940
 So what happened?

00:17:03.019 --> 00:17:03.519
 By the way here,

00:17:03.600 --> 00:17:04.799
 this is also a very, very

00:17:04.799 --> 00:17:05.799
 one of the things

00:17:05.799 --> 00:17:06.920
 which is so wonderful

00:17:06.920 --> 00:17:07.640
 about the story

00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:08.339
 that we don't think

00:17:08.339 --> 00:17:09.200
 of often about

00:17:09.200 --> 00:17:11.079
 but this is an opportunity

00:17:11.079 --> 00:17:12.480
 for Judas to repent.

00:17:13.839 --> 00:17:15.059
 This is an opportunity

00:17:15.059 --> 00:17:16.059
 for the soldiers

00:17:16.059 --> 00:17:17.160
 to repent.

00:17:18.200 --> 00:17:19.500
 This is an opportunity

00:17:19.500 --> 00:17:20.460
 for the police

00:17:20.460 --> 00:17:22.000
 to question

00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:22.980
 what they're doing

00:17:22.980 --> 00:17:23.880
 which is the beginning

00:17:23.880 --> 00:17:24.859
 of repentance.

00:17:27.240 --> 00:17:29.859
 So how do they respond?

00:17:30.660 --> 00:17:31.200
 Verse 7

00:17:31.200 --> 00:17:34.160
 So he asked them again

00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:34.799
 they all eventually

00:17:34.799 --> 00:17:35.240
 get up

00:17:35.240 --> 00:17:35.920
 he asked them again

00:17:35.920 --> 00:17:36.599
 whom do you seek

00:17:36.599 --> 00:17:37.400
 and they said

00:17:37.400 --> 00:17:38.620
 Jesus of nowhere

00:17:38.620 --> 00:17:41.400
 Jesus of nowhere

00:17:41.400 --> 00:17:44.559
 Jesus answered

00:17:44.559 --> 00:17:45.720
 I told you

00:17:45.720 --> 00:17:46.380
 that I am he

00:17:46.380 --> 00:17:48.799
 so if you seek me

00:17:48.799 --> 00:17:51.059
 let these men go

00:17:51.059 --> 00:17:53.440
 this was to fulfill

00:17:53.440 --> 00:17:55.759
 what he had spoken

00:17:55.759 --> 00:17:57.659
 of those whom you gave me

00:17:57.659 --> 00:17:58.919
 I have lost

00:17:58.919 --> 00:17:59.720
 not one

00:17:59.720 --> 00:18:00.899
 and just sort of pause

00:18:00.899 --> 00:18:02.740
 why do Christians

00:18:02.740 --> 00:18:04.159
 believe that the New Testament

00:18:04.159 --> 00:18:05.519
 is also part of the Bible

00:18:05.519 --> 00:18:06.619
 because when Jesus

00:18:06.619 --> 00:18:08.039
 quotes the Bible

00:18:08.039 --> 00:18:09.200
 he says words

00:18:09.200 --> 00:18:10.339
 he says

00:18:10.339 --> 00:18:12.480
 he'll regularly say

00:18:12.480 --> 00:18:13.379
 in the New Testament

00:18:13.379 --> 00:18:14.039
 when he's quoting

00:18:14.039 --> 00:18:14.759
 the Old Testament

00:18:14.759 --> 00:18:15.899
 he'll say

00:18:15.899 --> 00:18:17.659
 this was to fulfill

00:18:17.659 --> 00:18:18.379
 the word

00:18:18.380 --> 00:18:19.800
 that was spoken

00:18:19.800 --> 00:18:20.680
 so it's a

00:18:20.680 --> 00:18:22.020
 it's a formula thing

00:18:22.020 --> 00:18:23.220
 that shows that God

00:18:23.220 --> 00:18:24.180
 had said it

00:18:24.180 --> 00:18:25.220
 that it has authority

00:18:25.220 --> 00:18:26.400
 and now

00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:27.880
 John is applying

00:18:27.880 --> 00:18:28.880
 this same thing

00:18:28.880 --> 00:18:29.900
 to the words of Jesus

00:18:29.900 --> 00:18:31.500
 it's a very subtle

00:18:31.500 --> 00:18:32.400
 literary thing

00:18:32.400 --> 00:18:33.380
 that's showing

00:18:33.380 --> 00:18:34.360
 that Jesus' words

00:18:34.360 --> 00:18:35.020
 have that type

00:18:35.020 --> 00:18:36.160
 of same divine authority

00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:37.220
 that the Father has

00:18:37.220 --> 00:18:39.120
 now remember

00:18:39.120 --> 00:18:39.900
 I said to you

00:18:39.900 --> 00:18:41.880
 that this story

00:18:41.880 --> 00:18:43.140
 speaks directly

00:18:43.140 --> 00:18:44.200
 into the whole world

00:18:44.200 --> 00:18:45.320
 of religious violence

00:18:45.319 --> 00:18:47.139
 it speaks to

00:18:47.139 --> 00:18:48.200
 the abuse of power

00:18:48.200 --> 00:18:48.939
 that's going to become

00:18:48.939 --> 00:18:50.039
 more and more clear

00:18:50.039 --> 00:18:50.700
 as we go on

00:18:50.700 --> 00:18:52.019
 Jesus obviously has

00:18:52.019 --> 00:18:53.679
 a type of vast

00:18:53.679 --> 00:18:55.059
 untapped

00:18:55.059 --> 00:18:56.220
 spiritual authority

00:18:56.220 --> 00:18:57.359
 which is just present

00:18:57.359 --> 00:18:58.419
 by his mere act

00:18:58.419 --> 00:18:59.039
 of his will

00:18:59.039 --> 00:19:00.419
 that the soldiers

00:19:00.419 --> 00:19:01.500
 and police officers

00:19:01.500 --> 00:19:02.759
 with their weapons

00:19:02.759 --> 00:19:03.539
 and their armor

00:19:03.539 --> 00:19:04.059
 can just

00:19:04.059 --> 00:19:05.500
 they just all collapse

00:19:05.500 --> 00:19:06.480
 just by a mere act

00:19:06.480 --> 00:19:07.039
 of his will

00:19:07.039 --> 00:19:09.159
 but Peter

00:19:09.159 --> 00:19:12.220
 is human

00:19:12.220 --> 00:19:16.180
 and

00:19:16.180 --> 00:19:17.960
 why have

00:19:17.960 --> 00:19:18.960
 spiritual power

00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:20.160
 if you got a sword

00:19:20.160 --> 00:19:23.400
 it doesn't really matter

00:19:23.400 --> 00:19:23.980
 in a sense

00:19:23.980 --> 00:19:26.000
 what Jesus has said

00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:27.299
 I got a sword

00:19:27.299 --> 00:19:29.000
 and I'm going to fix this

00:19:29.000 --> 00:19:30.819
 and that's what happens

00:19:30.819 --> 00:19:31.680
 here in verse 10

00:19:31.680 --> 00:19:34.220
 then Simon Peter

00:19:34.220 --> 00:19:35.160
 having a sword

00:19:35.160 --> 00:19:36.539
 drew it

00:19:36.539 --> 00:19:37.299
 and struck

00:19:37.299 --> 00:19:38.400
 the high priest's servant

00:19:38.400 --> 00:19:39.700
 and cut off

00:19:39.700 --> 00:19:40.420
 his right ear

00:19:40.420 --> 00:19:42.320
 the servant's name

00:19:42.320 --> 00:19:43.140
 was Malchus

00:19:43.140 --> 00:19:45.259
 and these next words

00:19:45.259 --> 00:19:46.160
 are really important

00:19:46.160 --> 00:19:47.820
 so Jesus said to Peter

00:19:47.820 --> 00:19:48.720
 put your sword

00:19:48.720 --> 00:19:49.660
 into its sheath

00:19:49.660 --> 00:19:51.700
 shall I not drink

00:19:51.700 --> 00:19:52.180
 the cup

00:19:52.180 --> 00:19:52.800
 that the father

00:19:52.800 --> 00:19:53.519
 has given me

00:19:53.519 --> 00:19:54.140
 and we're going to

00:19:54.140 --> 00:19:54.880
 talk about the cup

00:19:54.880 --> 00:19:55.539
 again in a

00:19:55.539 --> 00:19:56.460
 couple of minutes

00:19:56.460 --> 00:19:58.220
 but we have here

00:19:58.220 --> 00:19:58.940
 in this text

00:19:58.940 --> 00:19:59.560
 in a very very

00:19:59.560 --> 00:20:00.440
 pithy form

00:20:00.440 --> 00:20:01.480
 from Jesus

00:20:01.480 --> 00:20:03.259
 a clear rejection

00:20:03.259 --> 00:20:04.340
 the sword

00:20:04.340 --> 00:20:05.120
 never advances

00:20:05.120 --> 00:20:05.820
 the gospel

00:20:05.819 --> 00:20:09.720
 the sword

00:20:09.720 --> 00:20:11.159
 never advances

00:20:11.159 --> 00:20:12.460
 the gospel

00:20:12.460 --> 00:20:17.839
 we Christians

00:20:17.839 --> 00:20:19.339
 I mean probably

00:20:19.339 --> 00:20:20.200
 not the ones of us

00:20:20.200 --> 00:20:20.939
 here in this room

00:20:20.939 --> 00:20:21.939
 but you know

00:20:21.939 --> 00:20:22.659
 the fact of the matter

00:20:22.659 --> 00:20:23.659
 is is that if somebody

00:20:23.659 --> 00:20:24.279
 says to us

00:20:24.279 --> 00:20:25.099
 well what about this

00:20:25.099 --> 00:20:25.779
 and what about that

00:20:25.779 --> 00:20:26.619
 in Christian history

00:20:26.619 --> 00:20:28.359
 we have to just say

00:20:28.359 --> 00:20:30.119
 that was wrong

00:20:30.119 --> 00:20:31.539
 but we learn

00:20:31.539 --> 00:20:32.119
 that it's wrong

00:20:32.119 --> 00:20:33.220
 not because we've

00:20:33.220 --> 00:20:34.759
 taken Rogerian therapy

00:20:34.759 --> 00:20:35.839
 or because we've

00:20:35.839 --> 00:20:36.400
 learned from

00:20:36.400 --> 00:20:37.099
 post-modern

00:20:37.099 --> 00:20:38.259
 literary criticism

00:20:38.259 --> 00:20:38.879
 or Nietzsche

00:20:38.879 --> 00:20:39.539
 that everything's

00:20:39.539 --> 00:20:40.180
 about power

00:20:40.180 --> 00:20:41.539
 we can just say

00:20:41.539 --> 00:20:42.799
 any Christian

00:20:42.799 --> 00:20:43.319
 like we could

00:20:43.319 --> 00:20:44.000
 actually just take

00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:44.359
 them listen

00:20:44.359 --> 00:20:45.099
 any Christian

00:20:45.099 --> 00:20:45.839
 throughout history

00:20:45.839 --> 00:20:46.519
 or any Christian

00:20:46.519 --> 00:20:47.379
 today that uses

00:20:47.379 --> 00:20:48.879
 the sword

00:20:48.879 --> 00:20:50.259
 the power of the

00:20:50.259 --> 00:20:51.099
 sword to advance

00:20:51.099 --> 00:20:52.980
 the Christian faith

00:20:52.980 --> 00:20:53.879
 to advance the gospel

00:20:53.879 --> 00:20:55.259
 all you have to do

00:20:55.259 --> 00:20:55.900
 is look here at

00:20:55.900 --> 00:20:56.539
 verse 11

00:20:56.539 --> 00:20:58.839
 of John chapter 18

00:20:58.839 --> 00:21:00.420
 like if we were

00:21:00.420 --> 00:21:01.200
 listening to that

00:21:01.200 --> 00:21:01.759
 we would know

00:21:01.759 --> 00:21:02.779
 that you don't do that

00:21:02.779 --> 00:21:05.259
 that the power

00:21:05.259 --> 00:21:05.799
 of the sword

00:21:05.799 --> 00:21:06.599
 does not advance

00:21:06.599 --> 00:21:07.240
 the gospel

00:21:07.240 --> 00:21:08.440
 this by the way

00:21:08.440 --> 00:21:09.180
 isn't an argument

00:21:09.180 --> 00:21:10.180
 for pacifism

00:21:10.180 --> 00:21:10.920
 amongst the nations

00:21:10.920 --> 00:21:11.920
 it's just an argument

00:21:11.920 --> 00:21:12.559
 for the fact

00:21:12.559 --> 00:21:13.119
 that the sword

00:21:13.119 --> 00:21:13.779
 doesn't advance

00:21:13.779 --> 00:21:14.379
 the gospel

00:21:14.379 --> 00:21:16.379
 and some of you

00:21:16.379 --> 00:21:17.059
 might be wondering

00:21:17.059 --> 00:21:17.819
 why doesn't it

00:21:17.819 --> 00:21:18.500
 mention here

00:21:18.500 --> 00:21:20.019
 that Jesus

00:21:20.019 --> 00:21:21.579
 heals the man's ear

00:21:21.579 --> 00:21:22.639
 and I'm just

00:21:22.639 --> 00:21:23.240
 going to say this

00:21:23.240 --> 00:21:23.720
 you just

00:21:23.720 --> 00:21:24.399
 I mean we can have

00:21:24.399 --> 00:21:25.180
 some conversations

00:21:25.180 --> 00:21:25.980
 about this over

00:21:25.980 --> 00:21:26.859
 today and over

00:21:26.859 --> 00:21:27.460
 the next couple

00:21:27.460 --> 00:21:27.859
 of weeks

00:21:27.859 --> 00:21:29.160
 there's no

00:21:29.160 --> 00:21:29.599
 fundamental

00:21:29.599 --> 00:21:30.240
 contradiction

00:21:30.240 --> 00:21:31.059
 between the four

00:21:31.059 --> 00:21:32.379
 different biographies

00:21:32.379 --> 00:21:32.879
 of Jesus

00:21:32.879 --> 00:21:33.700
 about how they

00:21:33.700 --> 00:21:34.419
 picture what

00:21:34.419 --> 00:21:35.220
 happens in that

00:21:35.220 --> 00:21:36.000
 evening and over

00:21:36.000 --> 00:21:37.339
 the next few

00:21:37.339 --> 00:21:37.740
 hours

00:21:37.740 --> 00:21:38.440
 John doesn't

00:21:38.440 --> 00:21:38.980
 just he just

00:21:38.980 --> 00:21:39.720
 chooses not to

00:21:39.720 --> 00:21:40.519
 tell that particular

00:21:40.519 --> 00:21:41.639
 detail of the story

00:21:41.639 --> 00:21:42.859
 he has his own

00:21:42.859 --> 00:21:43.839
 particular way that

00:21:43.839 --> 00:21:44.339
 he's trying to

00:21:44.339 --> 00:21:45.099
 tell the story

00:21:45.099 --> 00:21:46.179
 and you can go

00:21:46.179 --> 00:21:46.919
 back and you can

00:21:46.919 --> 00:21:47.480
 put them all

00:21:47.480 --> 00:21:47.799
 together

00:21:47.799 --> 00:21:48.500
 there's lots of

00:21:48.500 --> 00:21:49.220
 different scholars

00:21:49.220 --> 00:21:49.919
 who've combined

00:21:49.919 --> 00:21:50.539
 all the different

00:21:50.539 --> 00:21:50.960
 things

00:21:50.960 --> 00:21:51.700
 but what we're

00:21:51.700 --> 00:21:52.299
 listening to is

00:21:52.299 --> 00:21:52.839
 we're listening to

00:21:52.839 --> 00:21:53.639
 John's account

00:21:53.639 --> 00:21:55.099
 and one of the

00:21:55.099 --> 00:21:55.639
 things that John

00:21:55.639 --> 00:21:56.279
 wants to really

00:21:56.279 --> 00:21:57.339
 emphasize is this

00:21:57.339 --> 00:21:58.179
 whole problem

00:21:58.180 --> 00:21:58.779
 of power

00:21:58.779 --> 00:22:01.640
 and how power

00:22:01.640 --> 00:22:02.600
 bends people

00:22:02.600 --> 00:22:03.259
 out of shape

00:22:03.259 --> 00:22:04.500
 because we're

00:22:04.500 --> 00:22:05.140
 going to see in a

00:22:05.140 --> 00:22:05.740
 moment that this

00:22:05.740 --> 00:22:06.700
 very very same

00:22:06.700 --> 00:22:08.279
 guy who's all

00:22:08.279 --> 00:22:09.240
 emboldened to

00:22:09.240 --> 00:22:10.120
 take his sword

00:22:10.120 --> 00:22:11.279
 and attack

00:22:11.279 --> 00:22:12.860
 somebody within

00:22:12.860 --> 00:22:13.840
 a few moments

00:22:13.840 --> 00:22:15.840
 when some young

00:22:15.840 --> 00:22:16.900
 snippet of a

00:22:16.900 --> 00:22:17.900
 woman says

00:22:17.900 --> 00:22:18.400
 by the way

00:22:18.400 --> 00:22:18.860
 aren't you a

00:22:18.860 --> 00:22:19.660
 disciple of Jesus

00:22:19.660 --> 00:22:20.460
 completely and

00:22:20.460 --> 00:22:21.240
 utterly cowers

00:22:21.240 --> 00:22:21.940
 before her

00:22:21.940 --> 00:22:24.400
 because of all

00:22:24.400 --> 00:22:25.019
 of the idols

00:22:25.019 --> 00:22:25.820
 that we seek

00:22:25.820 --> 00:22:27.539
 and power is a

00:22:27.539 --> 00:22:28.059
 huge idol

00:22:28.059 --> 00:22:28.759
 that we seek

00:22:28.759 --> 00:22:30.740
 it always has

00:22:30.740 --> 00:22:31.480
 feet of clay

00:22:31.480 --> 00:22:33.220
 it always has

00:22:33.220 --> 00:22:33.899
 feet of clay

00:22:33.899 --> 00:22:36.079
 it almost always

00:22:36.079 --> 00:22:36.819
 just makes us

00:22:36.819 --> 00:22:37.379
 paranoid

00:22:37.379 --> 00:22:38.839
 and it makes us

00:22:38.839 --> 00:22:39.240
 worried

00:22:39.240 --> 00:22:41.839
 and as we see

00:22:41.839 --> 00:22:42.500
 time and time

00:22:42.500 --> 00:22:43.039
 again throughout

00:22:43.039 --> 00:22:44.079
 human history

00:22:44.079 --> 00:22:45.500
 sometime

00:22:45.500 --> 00:22:47.200
 people who have

00:22:47.200 --> 00:22:48.240
 the greatest power

00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:49.000
 just somehow

00:22:49.000 --> 00:22:49.440
 or another

00:22:49.440 --> 00:22:50.700
 make the dumbest

00:22:50.700 --> 00:22:51.680
 mistakes and

00:22:51.680 --> 00:22:52.420
 the weakness

00:22:52.420 --> 00:22:53.359
 in the most

00:22:53.359 --> 00:22:55.059
 unlikely of

00:22:55.059 --> 00:22:56.000
 all places

00:22:56.000 --> 00:22:57.440
 things and

00:22:57.440 --> 00:22:57.839
 that's going

00:22:57.839 --> 00:22:58.059
 to be

00:22:58.059 --> 00:22:58.900
 communicated in

00:22:58.900 --> 00:22:59.380
 the form of

00:22:59.380 --> 00:23:00.079
 this story

00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:00.660
 as we

00:23:00.660 --> 00:23:01.119
 continue

00:23:01.119 --> 00:23:03.559
 so verse 12

00:23:03.559 --> 00:23:05.000
 so the band

00:23:05.000 --> 00:23:05.599
 of the soldiers

00:23:05.599 --> 00:23:05.960
 and their

00:23:05.960 --> 00:23:07.400
 captain and

00:23:07.400 --> 00:23:07.920
 the officers

00:23:07.920 --> 00:23:08.559
 of the Jews

00:23:08.559 --> 00:23:09.420
 arrested Jesus

00:23:09.420 --> 00:23:10.140
 and bound him

00:23:10.140 --> 00:23:10.700
 in the original

00:23:10.700 --> 00:23:11.539
 language the word

00:23:11.539 --> 00:23:12.099
 captain

00:23:12.099 --> 00:23:13.400
 John has

00:23:13.400 --> 00:23:14.440
 correctly identified

00:23:14.440 --> 00:23:15.160
 the correct

00:23:15.160 --> 00:23:16.500
 military term

00:23:16.500 --> 00:23:18.039
 for a person

00:23:18.039 --> 00:23:18.920
 who is in

00:23:18.920 --> 00:23:19.619
 charge of a

00:23:19.619 --> 00:23:20.079
 cohort

00:23:20.079 --> 00:23:21.720
 in Roman

00:23:21.720 --> 00:23:23.019
 military terminology

00:23:23.019 --> 00:23:24.039
 for that time

00:23:24.039 --> 00:23:24.400
 period

00:23:24.400 --> 00:23:25.139
 he uses the

00:23:25.139 --> 00:23:26.660
 right military

00:23:26.660 --> 00:23:29.599
 technical term

00:23:29.599 --> 00:23:30.920
 verse 13

00:23:30.920 --> 00:23:31.619
 so they capture

00:23:31.619 --> 00:23:31.879
 him

00:23:31.879 --> 00:23:33.139
 and first they

00:23:33.139 --> 00:23:33.660
 lead him

00:23:33.660 --> 00:23:34.299
 they led him

00:23:34.299 --> 00:23:35.000
 to Annas

00:23:35.000 --> 00:23:36.019
 for he was

00:23:36.019 --> 00:23:36.940
 the father-in-law

00:23:36.940 --> 00:23:37.940
 of Caiaphas

00:23:37.940 --> 00:23:40.299
 who was the

00:23:40.299 --> 00:23:40.819
 high priest

00:23:40.819 --> 00:23:41.279
 that year

00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:42.420
 it was Caiaphas

00:23:42.420 --> 00:23:43.940
 who had advised

00:23:43.940 --> 00:23:45.119
 the Jewish

00:23:45.119 --> 00:23:45.859
 leaders

00:23:45.859 --> 00:23:47.139
 that it would

00:23:47.139 --> 00:23:48.299
 be expedient

00:23:48.299 --> 00:23:49.639
 that one man

00:23:49.639 --> 00:23:50.660
 should die

00:23:50.660 --> 00:23:51.860
 for the people

00:23:51.860 --> 00:23:52.840
 see how there's

00:23:52.840 --> 00:23:53.440
 this constant

00:23:53.440 --> 00:23:54.240
 language of the

00:23:54.240 --> 00:23:55.019
 problem of power

00:23:55.019 --> 00:23:56.960
 what they really

00:23:56.960 --> 00:23:58.259
 mean is

00:23:58.259 --> 00:23:59.600
 we all know

00:23:59.600 --> 00:24:00.900
 that what the

00:24:00.900 --> 00:24:01.500
 people really

00:24:01.500 --> 00:24:01.940
 need

00:24:01.940 --> 00:24:03.540
 is people like

00:24:03.540 --> 00:24:04.080
 us

00:24:04.080 --> 00:24:05.680
 to lead them

00:24:05.680 --> 00:24:07.540
 and as long

00:24:07.540 --> 00:24:08.120
 as there's people

00:24:08.120 --> 00:24:08.960
 like us

00:24:08.960 --> 00:24:09.880
 who are in

00:24:09.880 --> 00:24:10.340
 power and

00:24:10.340 --> 00:24:10.779
 authority

00:24:10.779 --> 00:24:12.860
 well

00:24:12.860 --> 00:24:14.180
 that's how the

00:24:14.180 --> 00:24:15.060
 people thrive

00:24:15.060 --> 00:24:16.519
 we have this

00:24:16.519 --> 00:24:16.940
 man

00:24:16.940 --> 00:24:17.420
 this

00:24:17.420 --> 00:24:18.840
 tiresome

00:24:18.840 --> 00:24:19.680
 irksome

00:24:19.680 --> 00:24:20.980
 itinerant

00:24:20.980 --> 00:24:22.200
 nobody

00:24:22.200 --> 00:24:23.460
 from nowhere

00:24:23.460 --> 00:24:23.940
 is filled

00:24:23.940 --> 00:24:25.279
 and wouldn't

00:24:25.279 --> 00:24:25.799
 it be far

00:24:25.799 --> 00:24:26.259
 better for

00:24:26.259 --> 00:24:26.799
 the people

00:24:26.799 --> 00:24:28.640
 if that

00:24:28.640 --> 00:24:29.299
 irksome

00:24:29.299 --> 00:24:29.880
 man

00:24:29.880 --> 00:24:31.279
 was gone

00:24:31.279 --> 00:24:33.640
 and it's

00:24:33.640 --> 00:24:34.340
 really interesting

00:24:34.340 --> 00:24:35.160
 because John

00:24:35.160 --> 00:24:35.960
 when he records

00:24:35.960 --> 00:24:36.740
 this first thing

00:24:36.740 --> 00:24:37.560
 by Caiaphas

00:24:37.560 --> 00:24:39.360
 he said that

00:24:39.360 --> 00:24:40.120
 Caiaphas

00:24:40.120 --> 00:24:41.299
 unwittingly

00:24:41.299 --> 00:24:42.180
 is actually

00:24:42.180 --> 00:24:42.740
 speaking a

00:24:42.740 --> 00:24:43.420
 profound truth

00:24:43.420 --> 00:24:44.000
 in fact that

00:24:44.000 --> 00:24:44.259
 it's going to

00:24:44.259 --> 00:24:44.880
 be far better

00:24:44.880 --> 00:24:45.320
 that Jesus

00:24:45.320 --> 00:24:46.039
 dies for the

00:24:46.039 --> 00:24:46.360
 people

00:24:46.360 --> 00:24:48.240
 that Jesus

00:24:48.240 --> 00:24:49.000
 comes to die

00:24:49.000 --> 00:24:49.580
 for the people

00:24:49.579 --> 00:24:50.659
 you see

00:24:50.659 --> 00:24:51.220
 this is another

00:24:51.220 --> 00:24:51.740
 thing here

00:24:51.740 --> 00:24:52.159
 about this

00:24:52.159 --> 00:24:52.539
 insight

00:24:52.539 --> 00:24:53.119
 about the

00:24:53.119 --> 00:24:53.500
 problem

00:24:53.500 --> 00:24:54.179
 with power

00:24:54.179 --> 00:24:56.439
 at the end

00:24:56.439 --> 00:24:56.919
 of the day

00:24:56.919 --> 00:24:58.460
 God is always

00:24:58.460 --> 00:24:59.379
 only working

00:24:59.379 --> 00:25:00.019
 on plan

00:25:00.019 --> 00:25:00.399
 A

00:25:00.399 --> 00:25:01.519
 God doesn't

00:25:01.519 --> 00:25:02.039
 have plan

00:25:02.039 --> 00:25:02.460
 B

00:25:02.460 --> 00:25:02.819
 C

00:25:02.819 --> 00:25:03.220
 D

00:25:03.220 --> 00:25:03.519
 E

00:25:03.519 --> 00:25:03.879
 F

00:25:03.879 --> 00:25:04.259
 he doesn't

00:25:04.259 --> 00:25:04.439
 say

00:25:04.439 --> 00:25:04.679
 oh

00:25:04.679 --> 00:25:05.720
 dang

00:25:05.720 --> 00:25:07.179
 they captured

00:25:07.179 --> 00:25:07.679
 Jesus

00:25:07.679 --> 00:25:08.279
 I guess

00:25:08.279 --> 00:25:08.579
 I better

00:25:08.579 --> 00:25:08.980
 come up

00:25:08.980 --> 00:25:09.379
 with another

00:25:09.379 --> 00:25:09.779
 plan

00:25:09.779 --> 00:25:10.159
 it's not

00:25:10.159 --> 00:25:10.819
 like watching

00:25:10.819 --> 00:25:11.599
 your typical

00:25:11.599 --> 00:25:12.099
 thriller

00:25:12.099 --> 00:25:13.299
 where in

00:25:13.299 --> 00:25:13.839
 your typical

00:25:13.839 --> 00:25:14.359
 thriller

00:25:14.359 --> 00:25:15.359
 something

00:25:15.359 --> 00:25:16.359
 goes

00:25:16.359 --> 00:25:17.599
 I just

00:25:17.599 --> 00:25:18.139
 started watching

00:25:18.139 --> 00:25:18.779
 this Netflix

00:25:18.779 --> 00:25:19.559
 film about

00:25:19.559 --> 00:25:20.660
 retired

00:25:20.660 --> 00:25:22.539
 army rangers

00:25:22.539 --> 00:25:23.039
 wanting to

00:25:23.039 --> 00:25:23.480
 steal a

00:25:23.480 --> 00:25:24.160
 drug lord's

00:25:24.160 --> 00:25:24.399
 money

00:25:24.399 --> 00:25:25.220
 and of course

00:25:25.220 --> 00:25:26.000
 halfway through

00:25:26.000 --> 00:25:26.519
 the movie

00:25:26.519 --> 00:25:28.220
 there's a

00:25:28.220 --> 00:25:28.879
 problem with

00:25:28.879 --> 00:25:29.579
 the helicopter

00:25:29.579 --> 00:25:31.639
 that doesn't

00:25:31.639 --> 00:25:32.220
 describe the

00:25:32.220 --> 00:25:32.859
 gospels or

00:25:32.859 --> 00:25:33.160
 God

00:25:33.160 --> 00:25:33.859
 he never

00:25:33.859 --> 00:25:34.339
 has

00:25:34.339 --> 00:25:35.279
 that's no

00:25:35.279 --> 00:25:36.099
 spoiler alert

00:25:36.099 --> 00:25:37.099
 by the way

00:25:37.099 --> 00:25:38.019
 that you

00:25:38.019 --> 00:25:38.720
 expect that

00:25:38.720 --> 00:25:38.980
 there's going

00:25:38.980 --> 00:25:39.339
 to be some

00:25:39.339 --> 00:25:40.000
 problem that

00:25:40.000 --> 00:25:40.460
 goes on in

00:25:40.460 --> 00:25:40.839
 the movie

00:25:40.839 --> 00:25:42.079
 in a movie

00:25:42.079 --> 00:25:42.440
 like that

00:25:42.440 --> 00:25:42.819
 but God

00:25:42.819 --> 00:25:43.299
 never is

00:25:43.299 --> 00:25:43.559
 sort of

00:25:43.559 --> 00:25:44.319
 working on

00:25:44.319 --> 00:25:45.220
 dealing with

00:25:45.220 --> 00:25:46.599
 curveballs that

00:25:46.599 --> 00:25:47.119
 come his way

00:25:47.119 --> 00:25:47.399
 and he has

00:25:47.399 --> 00:25:47.659
 to have a

00:25:47.659 --> 00:25:47.919
 different

00:25:47.919 --> 00:25:48.259
 thing

00:25:48.259 --> 00:25:48.899
 and so

00:25:48.899 --> 00:25:49.179
 what we

00:25:49.179 --> 00:25:49.839
 see here

00:25:49.839 --> 00:25:50.759
 is that

00:25:50.759 --> 00:25:52.039
 what that

00:25:52.039 --> 00:25:52.519
 means is

00:25:52.519 --> 00:25:52.879
 this

00:25:52.879 --> 00:25:54.379
 there's two

00:25:54.379 --> 00:25:54.939
 fundamentally

00:25:54.939 --> 00:25:55.719
 different ways

00:25:55.719 --> 00:25:56.139
 that God

00:25:56.139 --> 00:25:56.939
 uses us

00:25:56.939 --> 00:25:59.099
 he uses

00:25:59.099 --> 00:25:59.739
 us as

00:25:59.739 --> 00:26:00.399
 his friend

00:26:00.399 --> 00:26:02.159
 or he

00:26:02.159 --> 00:26:02.699
 uses us

00:26:02.699 --> 00:26:03.179
 as his

00:26:03.179 --> 00:26:03.579
 tool

00:26:03.579 --> 00:26:06.439
 see he

00:26:06.439 --> 00:26:07.000
 uses us

00:26:07.000 --> 00:26:07.439
 as his

00:26:07.439 --> 00:26:07.799
 friend

00:26:07.799 --> 00:26:08.239
 when we

00:26:08.239 --> 00:26:08.739
 submit to

00:26:08.739 --> 00:26:08.859
 him

00:26:08.859 --> 00:26:09.139
 when we

00:26:09.139 --> 00:26:09.299
 say

00:26:09.299 --> 00:26:09.619
 Lord

00:26:09.619 --> 00:26:10.399
 may you

00:26:10.399 --> 00:26:10.859
 guide and

00:26:10.859 --> 00:26:11.299
 direct my

00:26:11.299 --> 00:26:11.959
 day today

00:26:11.959 --> 00:26:12.359
 Lord

00:26:12.359 --> 00:26:13.039
 could you

00:26:13.039 --> 00:26:13.579
 give me a

00:26:13.579 --> 00:26:13.919
 chance

00:26:13.919 --> 00:26:14.219
 where I

00:26:14.219 --> 00:26:14.519
 can bear

00:26:14.519 --> 00:26:15.119
 witness to

00:26:15.119 --> 00:26:15.539
 you today

00:26:15.539 --> 00:26:16.099
 Lord can

00:26:16.099 --> 00:26:16.579
 you show

00:26:16.579 --> 00:26:17.119
 me in

00:26:17.119 --> 00:26:17.599
 the office

00:26:17.599 --> 00:26:18.019
 how I

00:26:18.019 --> 00:26:18.460
 can pray

00:26:18.460 --> 00:26:19.079
 for people

00:26:19.079 --> 00:26:19.960
 Lord

00:26:19.960 --> 00:26:20.480
 there's a

00:26:20.480 --> 00:26:21.039
 situation

00:26:21.039 --> 00:26:21.319
 in the

00:26:21.319 --> 00:26:21.579
 office

00:26:21.579 --> 00:26:22.019
 they want

00:26:22.019 --> 00:26:22.299
 to do

00:26:22.299 --> 00:26:22.639
 something

00:26:22.639 --> 00:26:23.079
 which is

00:26:23.079 --> 00:26:23.519
 wrong

00:26:23.519 --> 00:26:24.379
 and I

00:26:24.379 --> 00:26:24.720
 don't know

00:26:24.720 --> 00:26:25.059
 how to

00:26:25.059 --> 00:26:25.480
 deal with

00:26:25.480 --> 00:26:25.680
 that

00:26:25.680 --> 00:26:25.960
 I know

00:26:25.960 --> 00:26:26.579
 I can't

00:26:26.579 --> 00:26:26.960
 do it

00:26:26.960 --> 00:26:27.359
 I just

00:26:27.359 --> 00:26:27.680
 give it

00:26:27.680 --> 00:26:27.940
 into your

00:26:27.940 --> 00:26:28.200
 hands

00:26:28.200 --> 00:26:28.480
 can you

00:26:28.480 --> 00:26:28.680
 either

00:26:28.680 --> 00:26:29.119
 give me

00:26:29.119 --> 00:26:29.940
 the courage

00:26:29.940 --> 00:26:30.220
 and the

00:26:30.220 --> 00:26:30.599
 strength

00:26:30.599 --> 00:26:31.519
 to not

00:26:31.519 --> 00:26:32.119
 go along

00:26:32.119 --> 00:26:32.519
 with it

00:26:32.519 --> 00:26:32.980
 or could

00:26:32.980 --> 00:26:33.519
 you just

00:26:33.519 --> 00:26:34.180
 work it

00:26:34.180 --> 00:26:34.619
 so that

00:26:34.619 --> 00:26:34.920
 they

00:26:34.920 --> 00:26:35.559
 realize

00:26:35.559 --> 00:26:36.579
 either

00:26:36.579 --> 00:26:36.779
 they

00:26:36.779 --> 00:26:37.319
 shouldn't

00:26:37.319 --> 00:26:37.680
 do it

00:26:37.680 --> 00:26:38.319
 or you

00:26:38.319 --> 00:26:38.440
 know

00:26:38.440 --> 00:26:38.960
 and we

00:26:38.960 --> 00:26:39.279
 pray

00:26:39.279 --> 00:26:39.779
 into it

00:26:39.779 --> 00:26:40.599
 and God

00:26:40.599 --> 00:26:41.180
 uses you

00:26:41.180 --> 00:26:41.500
 in that

00:26:41.500 --> 00:26:41.700
 way

00:26:41.700 --> 00:26:42.039
 and he's

00:26:42.039 --> 00:26:42.579
 using you

00:26:42.579 --> 00:26:43.039
 as his

00:26:43.039 --> 00:26:43.359
 friend

00:26:43.359 --> 00:26:45.579
 but other

00:26:45.579 --> 00:26:46.240
 times he

00:26:46.240 --> 00:26:46.740
 uses you

00:26:46.740 --> 00:26:47.079
 but he's

00:26:47.079 --> 00:26:47.480
 using you

00:26:47.480 --> 00:26:47.819
 as his

00:26:47.819 --> 00:26:48.139
 tool

00:26:48.139 --> 00:26:50.480
 and as we

00:26:50.480 --> 00:26:50.920
 see throughout

00:26:50.920 --> 00:26:51.480
 the entire

00:26:51.480 --> 00:26:52.039
 story

00:26:52.039 --> 00:26:52.659
 Caiaphas

00:26:52.659 --> 00:26:53.740
 who is the

00:26:53.740 --> 00:26:54.519
 high priest

00:26:54.519 --> 00:26:55.639
 ironically

00:26:55.639 --> 00:26:56.700
 his relationship

00:26:56.700 --> 00:26:57.359
 with God

00:26:57.359 --> 00:26:57.819
 is like

00:26:57.819 --> 00:26:58.319
 this

00:26:58.319 --> 00:27:00.500
 it is

00:27:00.500 --> 00:27:01.279
 like this

00:27:01.279 --> 00:27:03.359
 but it

00:27:03.359 --> 00:27:03.720
 doesn't mean

00:27:03.720 --> 00:27:04.019
 that God

00:27:04.019 --> 00:27:04.619
 never uses

00:27:04.619 --> 00:27:04.799
 him

00:27:04.799 --> 00:27:05.039
 but he

00:27:05.039 --> 00:27:05.519
 doesn't

00:27:05.519 --> 00:27:05.980
 use him

00:27:05.980 --> 00:27:06.779
 the same

00:27:06.779 --> 00:27:07.259
 way that he

00:27:07.259 --> 00:27:08.039
 uses a man

00:27:08.039 --> 00:27:08.539
 or a woman

00:27:08.539 --> 00:27:09.279
 whose posture

00:27:09.279 --> 00:27:09.720
 to God

00:27:09.720 --> 00:27:10.099
 is like

00:27:10.099 --> 00:27:10.460
 this

00:27:10.460 --> 00:27:13.779
 who is

00:27:13.779 --> 00:27:14.140
 now being

00:27:14.140 --> 00:27:14.519
 used as

00:27:14.519 --> 00:27:15.039
 his friend

00:27:15.039 --> 00:27:18.880
 and what

00:27:18.880 --> 00:27:19.759
 the text

00:27:19.759 --> 00:27:20.759
 those who

00:27:20.759 --> 00:27:21.319
 know a

00:27:21.319 --> 00:27:21.600
 little bit

00:27:21.600 --> 00:27:21.980
 about the

00:27:21.980 --> 00:27:22.480
 history

00:27:22.480 --> 00:27:23.500
 know that

00:27:23.500 --> 00:27:24.100
 Annas

00:27:24.100 --> 00:27:25.700
 is technically

00:27:25.700 --> 00:27:26.400
 not the

00:27:26.400 --> 00:27:27.259
 high priest

00:27:27.259 --> 00:27:27.840
 right then

00:27:27.840 --> 00:27:28.539
 he was the

00:27:28.539 --> 00:27:29.100
 high priest

00:27:29.100 --> 00:27:30.460
 he was the

00:27:30.460 --> 00:27:31.240
 patriarch

00:27:31.240 --> 00:27:32.380
 this just

00:27:32.380 --> 00:27:33.100
 comes right

00:27:33.100 --> 00:27:33.620
 out of

00:27:33.620 --> 00:27:34.380
 power and

00:27:34.380 --> 00:27:35.000
 politics

00:27:35.000 --> 00:27:35.720
 Annas was

00:27:35.720 --> 00:27:36.100
 the high

00:27:36.100 --> 00:27:36.480
 priest

00:27:36.480 --> 00:27:37.120
 he was

00:27:37.120 --> 00:27:37.559
 deposed

00:27:37.559 --> 00:27:37.980
 by the

00:27:37.980 --> 00:27:38.259
 Romans

00:27:38.259 --> 00:27:39.220
 but he

00:27:39.220 --> 00:27:39.759
 continued

00:27:39.759 --> 00:27:40.460
 to be

00:27:40.460 --> 00:27:41.160
 the power

00:27:41.160 --> 00:27:41.920
 behind the

00:27:41.920 --> 00:27:42.240
 throne

00:27:42.240 --> 00:27:43.119
 five of

00:27:43.119 --> 00:27:43.740
 his sons

00:27:43.740 --> 00:27:44.220
 became

00:27:44.220 --> 00:27:44.940
 high priest

00:27:44.940 --> 00:27:46.099
 and Caiaphas

00:27:46.099 --> 00:27:46.559
 is his

00:27:46.559 --> 00:27:47.099
 son-in-law

00:27:47.099 --> 00:27:48.400
 and so

00:27:48.400 --> 00:27:48.720
 for an

00:27:48.720 --> 00:27:49.180
 extended

00:27:49.180 --> 00:27:49.879
 period of

00:27:49.879 --> 00:27:50.180
 time

00:27:50.180 --> 00:27:51.259
 they might

00:27:51.259 --> 00:27:51.819
 be somebody

00:27:51.819 --> 00:27:52.519
 technically

00:27:52.519 --> 00:27:53.019
 who's the

00:27:53.019 --> 00:27:53.480
 high priest

00:27:53.480 --> 00:27:53.900
 but there's

00:27:53.900 --> 00:27:54.539
 the power

00:27:54.539 --> 00:27:55.420
 behind the

00:27:55.420 --> 00:27:55.879
 throne

00:27:55.879 --> 00:27:56.900
 the one

00:27:56.900 --> 00:27:57.640
 who actually

00:27:57.640 --> 00:27:58.460
 exercises

00:27:58.460 --> 00:27:59.079
 the real

00:27:59.079 --> 00:27:59.559
 power

00:27:59.559 --> 00:28:00.460
 and that's

00:28:00.460 --> 00:28:00.920
 Annas

00:28:00.920 --> 00:28:02.180
 and he

00:28:02.180 --> 00:28:02.619
 wants to

00:28:02.619 --> 00:28:03.279
 see Jesus

00:28:03.279 --> 00:28:04.759
 and so

00:28:04.759 --> 00:28:05.359
 the authorities

00:28:05.359 --> 00:28:05.819
 don't bring

00:28:05.819 --> 00:28:06.279
 him first

00:28:06.279 --> 00:28:06.740
 to the

00:28:06.740 --> 00:28:07.440
 Sanhedrin

00:28:07.440 --> 00:28:08.180
 they don't

00:28:08.180 --> 00:28:08.660
 bring him

00:28:08.660 --> 00:28:09.800
 to Caiaphas

00:28:09.800 --> 00:28:10.440
 they don't

00:28:10.440 --> 00:28:11.000
 bring them

00:28:11.000 --> 00:28:11.840
 they don't

00:28:11.840 --> 00:28:12.340
 bring Jesus

00:28:12.340 --> 00:28:13.200
 to lawful

00:28:13.200 --> 00:28:13.820
 authority

00:28:13.820 --> 00:28:15.200
 they bring

00:28:15.200 --> 00:28:16.180
 him to

00:28:16.180 --> 00:28:16.980
 the power

00:28:16.980 --> 00:28:17.600
 that is

00:28:17.600 --> 00:28:18.220
 controlling

00:28:18.220 --> 00:28:19.460
 the temple

00:28:19.460 --> 00:28:20.200
 for their

00:28:20.200 --> 00:28:20.680
 own

00:28:20.680 --> 00:28:21.740
 ends

00:28:21.740 --> 00:28:22.900
 the Bible

00:28:22.900 --> 00:28:23.480
 is a

00:28:23.480 --> 00:28:24.060
 constant

00:28:24.060 --> 00:28:24.680
 critique

00:28:24.680 --> 00:28:25.600
 of how

00:28:25.600 --> 00:28:26.160
 religion

00:28:26.160 --> 00:28:27.380
 is used

00:28:27.380 --> 00:28:28.420
 to further

00:28:28.420 --> 00:28:29.700
 your own

00:28:29.700 --> 00:28:30.500
 power

00:28:30.500 --> 00:28:31.460
 and interest

00:28:31.460 --> 00:28:32.420
 it is

00:28:32.420 --> 00:28:33.400
 a constant

00:28:33.400 --> 00:28:34.060
 critique

00:28:34.060 --> 00:28:34.759
 of those

00:28:34.759 --> 00:28:35.160
 who like

00:28:35.160 --> 00:28:35.820
 to advertise

00:28:35.820 --> 00:28:36.440
 in their

00:28:36.440 --> 00:28:36.840
 business

00:28:36.840 --> 00:28:37.360
 listings

00:28:37.359 --> 00:28:38.240
 that they're

00:28:38.240 --> 00:28:39.399
 evangelicals

00:28:39.399 --> 00:28:39.959
 so that

00:28:39.959 --> 00:28:40.539
 people who

00:28:40.539 --> 00:28:40.699
 are

00:28:40.699 --> 00:28:41.159
 Christians

00:28:41.159 --> 00:28:41.719
 will go

00:28:41.719 --> 00:28:42.099
 to their

 something

 very

00:35:20.140 --> 00:35:20.760

00:35:56.940 --> 00:35:57.500
 go and

00:35:57.500 --> 00:35:57.740
 they'll

00:36:06.820 --> 00:36:07.400
 things

00:36:07.400 --> 00:36:07.960
 they seek

00:36:07.960 --> 00:36:08.180
 out

00:36:08.180 --> 00:36:08.800
 therapies

00:36:08.800 --> 00:36:09.280
 and other

00:36:09.280 --> 00:36:09.600
 types

00:36:09.600 --> 00:36:09.780
 of

00:36:09.780 --> 00:36:10.140
 things

00:36:10.140 --> 00:36:10.920
 which

00:36:10.920 --> 00:36:11.960
 purport

00:36:11.960 --> 00:36:12.600
 to touch

00:36:12.600 --> 00:36:13.160
 the different

00:36:13.160 --> 00:36:13.760
 spiritual

00:36:13.760 --> 00:36:14.440
 powers

00:36:14.440 --> 00:36:15.240
 and energies

00:36:15.240 --> 00:36:15.700
 within a

00:36:15.700 --> 00:36:16.320
 human being

00:36:16.320 --> 00:36:17.019
 and manipulate

00:36:17.019 --> 00:36:17.960
 those spiritual

00:36:17.960 --> 00:36:18.500
 powers

00:36:18.500 --> 00:36:19.140
 and there

00:36:19.140 --> 00:36:19.460
 are many

00:36:19.460 --> 00:36:19.920
 people in

00:36:19.920 --> 00:36:20.420
 our culture

00:36:20.420 --> 00:36:21.019
 who've

00:36:21.019 --> 00:36:21.560
 abandoned

00:36:21.560 --> 00:36:22.380
 naturalism

00:36:22.380 --> 00:36:22.640
 they've

00:36:22.640 --> 00:36:23.120
 abandoned

00:36:23.120 --> 00:36:23.920
 materialism

00:36:23.920 --> 00:36:24.200
 they've

00:36:24.200 --> 00:36:24.620
 turned their

00:36:24.620 --> 00:36:25.140
 back on

00:36:25.140 --> 00:36:25.300
 it

00:36:25.300 --> 00:36:26.019
 and they've

00:36:26.019 --> 00:36:26.519
 accepted

00:36:26.519 --> 00:36:27.340
 the spiritual

00:36:27.340 --> 00:36:28.100
 realities

00:36:28.100 --> 00:36:28.820
 that exist

00:36:28.820 --> 00:36:29.200
 in the

00:36:29.200 --> 00:36:29.500
 world

00:36:29.500 --> 00:36:29.980
 and however

00:36:29.980 --> 00:36:30.360
 it is

00:36:30.360 --> 00:36:30.740
 that they've

00:36:30.740 --> 00:36:31.180
 conceived

00:36:31.180 --> 00:36:31.620
 of it

00:36:31.619 --> 00:36:32.759
 and they

00:36:32.759 --> 00:36:33.259
 understand

00:36:33.259 --> 00:36:33.779
 that there's

00:36:33.779 --> 00:36:34.159
 some type

00:36:34.159 --> 00:36:34.500
 of a

00:36:34.500 --> 00:36:34.920
 spiritual

00:36:34.920 --> 00:36:35.719
 longing

00:36:35.719 --> 00:36:36.719
 that

00:36:36.719 --> 00:36:38.000
 materialism

00:36:38.000 --> 00:36:38.920
 and naturalism

00:36:38.920 --> 00:36:39.519
 just can't

00:36:39.519 --> 00:36:40.159
 account for

00:36:40.159 --> 00:36:40.900
 but the

00:36:40.900 --> 00:36:42.000
 problem is

00:36:42.000 --> 00:36:44.460
 I've talked

00:36:44.460 --> 00:36:44.960
 to quite a

00:36:44.960 --> 00:36:45.519
 few people

00:36:45.519 --> 00:36:46.059
 who are

00:36:46.059 --> 00:36:46.539
 that way

00:36:46.539 --> 00:36:46.900
 but the

00:36:46.900 --> 00:36:47.819
 problem is

00:36:47.819 --> 00:36:50.440
 they don't

00:36:50.440 --> 00:36:50.799
 know how

00:36:50.799 --> 00:36:52.000
 to balance

00:36:52.000 --> 00:36:52.480
 it with

00:36:52.480 --> 00:36:53.199
 science

00:36:53.199 --> 00:36:56.099
 it's as

00:36:56.099 --> 00:36:56.619
 if they

00:36:56.619 --> 00:36:57.400
 live

00:36:57.400 --> 00:36:57.859
 it's as

00:36:57.859 --> 00:36:58.119
 if

00:36:58.119 --> 00:36:58.659
 without

00:36:58.659 --> 00:36:59.299
 realizing

00:36:59.299 --> 00:36:59.519
 it

00:36:59.519 --> 00:36:59.799
 you know

00:36:59.799 --> 00:37:00.159
 if you

00:37:00.159 --> 00:37:00.480
 try to

00:37:00.480 --> 00:37:00.900
 stand

00:37:00.900 --> 00:37:01.179
 on a

00:37:01.179 --> 00:37:01.419
 you know

00:37:01.419 --> 00:37:01.719
 those

00:37:01.719 --> 00:37:02.119
 balls

00:37:02.119 --> 00:37:02.519
 that some

00:37:02.519 --> 00:37:02.919
 offices

00:37:02.919 --> 00:37:03.299
 have

00:37:03.299 --> 00:37:03.759
 that people

00:37:03.759 --> 00:37:04.359
 sit on

00:37:04.359 --> 00:37:05.719
 I don't

00:37:05.719 --> 00:37:05.940
 know what

00:37:05.940 --> 00:37:06.239
 the name

00:37:06.239 --> 00:37:06.539
 for them

00:37:06.539 --> 00:37:06.699
 is

00:37:06.699 --> 00:37:07.179
 but imagine

00:37:07.179 --> 00:37:07.500
 you try

00:37:07.500 --> 00:37:08.099
 to stand

00:37:08.099 --> 00:37:08.519
 on that

00:37:08.519 --> 00:37:08.879
 ball

00:37:08.879 --> 00:37:09.919
 and there's

00:37:09.919 --> 00:37:10.259
 a lot of

00:37:10.259 --> 00:37:10.699
 people in our

00:37:10.699 --> 00:37:11.039
 culture

00:37:11.039 --> 00:37:11.500
 they're trying

00:37:11.500 --> 00:37:11.980
 to stand

00:37:11.980 --> 00:37:12.399
 not only

00:37:12.399 --> 00:37:12.779
 in that

00:37:12.779 --> 00:37:13.039
 ball

00:37:13.039 --> 00:37:13.379
 but a

00:37:13.379 --> 00:37:13.739
 second

00:37:13.739 --> 00:37:14.059
 ball

00:37:14.059 --> 00:37:14.460
 which is

00:37:14.460 --> 00:37:15.039
 apart from

00:37:15.039 --> 00:37:15.139
 it

00:37:15.139 --> 00:37:15.379
 on a

00:37:15.379 --> 00:37:15.579
 very

00:37:15.579 --> 00:37:15.819
 very

00:37:15.819 --> 00:37:16.299
 slippery

00:37:16.299 --> 00:37:16.859
 floor

00:37:16.859 --> 00:37:18.759
 and the

00:37:18.759 --> 00:37:19.099
 fact of

00:37:19.099 --> 00:37:19.299
 the matter

00:37:19.299 --> 00:37:19.699
 is you

00:37:19.699 --> 00:37:20.199
 can't put

00:37:20.199 --> 00:37:20.599
 your feet

00:37:20.599 --> 00:37:21.019
 on both

00:37:21.019 --> 00:37:21.339
 balls

00:37:21.339 --> 00:37:21.559
 on a

00:37:21.559 --> 00:37:21.719
 very

00:37:21.719 --> 00:37:22.299
 slippery

00:37:22.299 --> 00:37:22.699
 floor

00:37:22.699 --> 00:37:22.899
 you're

00:37:22.899 --> 00:37:23.019
 just

00:37:23.019 --> 00:37:23.239
 going to

00:37:23.239 --> 00:37:23.399
 keep

00:37:23.399 --> 00:37:23.819
 falling

00:37:23.819 --> 00:37:24.179
 all the

00:37:24.179 --> 00:37:24.539
 time

00:37:24.539 --> 00:37:25.719
 and that's

00:37:25.719 --> 00:37:25.859
 the

00:37:25.859 --> 00:37:26.319
 problem

00:37:31.179 --> 00:37:32.139
 talking

00:37:32.139 --> 00:37:32.419
 about

00:37:32.419 --> 00:37:33.000
 ghosts

00:37:33.000 --> 00:37:33.460
 yet

00:37:33.460 --> 00:37:33.859
 somehow

00:37:33.859 --> 00:37:34.239
 or another

00:37:34.239 --> 00:37:34.579
 they can

00:37:34.579 --> 00:37:34.879
 put it

00:37:34.879 --> 00:37:35.139
 in a

00:37:35.139 --> 00:37:35.579
 box

00:37:35.579 --> 00:37:36.960
 and they

00:37:36.960 --> 00:37:37.279
 can't

00:37:37.279 --> 00:37:37.639
 actually

00:37:37.639 --> 00:37:37.899
 even

00:37:37.899 --> 00:37:38.199
 think

00:37:38.199 --> 00:37:38.419
 of how

00:37:38.419 --> 00:37:39.000
 to conceive

00:37:39.000 --> 00:37:39.359
 of these

00:37:39.359 --> 00:37:39.779
 spiritual

00:37:39.779 --> 00:37:40.119
 things

00:37:40.119 --> 00:37:40.359
 without

00:37:40.359 --> 00:37:40.799
 there being

00:37:40.799 --> 00:37:41.199
 something

00:37:41.199 --> 00:37:42.119
 material

00:37:42.119 --> 00:37:43.279
 or

00:37:43.279 --> 00:37:44.179
 scientific

00:37:44.179 --> 00:37:45.139
 that's

00:37:45.139 --> 00:37:45.559
 connected

00:37:45.559 --> 00:37:46.159
 to it

00:37:46.159 --> 00:37:47.779
 the fact

00:37:47.779 --> 00:37:47.960
 of the

00:37:47.960 --> 00:37:48.139
 matter

00:37:48.139 --> 00:37:48.599
 is

00:37:48.599 --> 00:37:49.099
 if they

00:37:49.099 --> 00:37:49.699
 completely

00:37:49.699 --> 00:37:50.239
 and utterly

00:37:50.239 --> 00:37:50.859
 embraced

00:37:50.859 --> 00:37:51.079
 the

00:37:51.079 --> 00:37:51.519
 spiritual

00:37:51.519 --> 00:37:52.099
 point of

00:37:52.099 --> 00:37:52.239
 view

00:37:52.239 --> 00:37:52.519
 of the

00:37:52.519 --> 00:37:52.919
 world

00:37:52.919 --> 00:37:54.119
 then you

00:37:54.119 --> 00:37:54.259
 would

00:37:54.259 --> 00:37:54.559
 have

00:37:54.559 --> 00:37:54.980
 what was

00:37:54.980 --> 00:37:55.480
 present

00:37:55.480 --> 00:37:55.980
 in North

00:37:55.980 --> 00:37:56.460
 America

00:37:56.460 --> 00:37:56.919
 before

00:37:56.919 --> 00:37:57.480
 science

00:37:57.480 --> 00:37:57.940
 and reason

00:37:57.940 --> 00:37:58.259
 came

00:37:58.259 --> 00:37:58.440
 it's

00:37:58.440 --> 00:37:58.739
 what would

00:37:58.739 --> 00:37:59.039
 happen

00:37:59.039 --> 00:37:59.440
 in many

00:37:59.440 --> 00:37:59.940
 places

00:37:59.940 --> 00:38:00.539
 in Asia

00:38:00.539 --> 00:38:01.239
 and in

00:38:01.239 --> 00:38:01.719
 Africa

00:38:01.719 --> 00:38:02.579
 where you

00:38:02.579 --> 00:38:03.059
 believe

00:38:03.059 --> 00:38:03.659
 that every

00:38:03.659 --> 00:38:04.099
 bush

00:38:04.099 --> 00:38:04.460
 and every

00:38:04.460 --> 00:38:04.800
 tree

00:38:04.800 --> 00:38:05.179
 and every

00:38:05.179 --> 00:38:05.699
 stream

00:38:05.699 --> 00:38:06.420
 is also

00:38:06.420 --> 00:38:06.980
 a god

00:38:06.980 --> 00:38:07.320
 or has

00:38:07.320 --> 00:38:07.719
 some type

00:38:07.719 --> 00:38:08.300
 of spiritual

00:38:08.300 --> 00:38:08.900
 presence

00:38:08.900 --> 00:38:09.739
 and the

00:38:09.739 --> 00:38:10.139
 fact of the

00:38:10.139 --> 00:38:10.559
 matter is

00:38:10.559 --> 00:38:10.820
 is that

00:38:10.820 --> 00:38:11.219
 science

00:38:11.219 --> 00:38:11.699
 could never

00:38:11.699 --> 00:38:12.099
 develop

00:38:12.099 --> 00:38:12.519
 in such

00:38:12.519 --> 00:38:12.940
 a world

00:38:12.940 --> 00:38:13.659
 because

00:38:13.659 --> 00:38:14.199
 science

00:38:14.199 --> 00:38:14.639
 depends

00:38:14.639 --> 00:38:15.119
 upon the

00:38:15.119 --> 00:38:15.480
 ability

00:38:15.480 --> 00:38:16.380
 to do

00:38:16.380 --> 00:38:16.559
 an

00:38:16.559 --> 00:38:17.239
 experiment

00:38:17.239 --> 00:38:18.199
 and

00:38:18.199 --> 00:38:19.019
 afterwards

00:38:19.019 --> 00:38:19.820
 you measure

00:38:19.820 --> 00:38:20.619
 the experiment

00:38:20.619 --> 00:38:21.420
 and you

00:38:21.420 --> 00:38:22.019
 trust that

00:38:22.019 --> 00:38:22.320
 if you have

00:38:22.320 --> 00:38:22.820
 a theory

00:38:22.820 --> 00:38:23.139
 and you

00:38:23.139 --> 00:38:23.460
 do the

00:38:23.460 --> 00:38:24.019
 experiment

00:38:24.019 --> 00:38:24.380
 you can

00:38:24.380 --> 00:38:24.759
 come to

00:38:24.759 --> 00:38:25.360
 conclusions

00:38:25.360 --> 00:38:26.179
 you can

00:38:26.179 --> 00:38:26.440
 sort of

00:38:26.440 --> 00:38:26.840
 figure out

00:38:26.840 --> 00:38:27.079
 how the

00:38:27.079 --> 00:38:27.440
 natural

00:38:27.440 --> 00:38:27.880
 world

00:38:27.880 --> 00:38:28.179
 works

00:38:28.179 --> 00:38:28.519
 but if

00:38:28.519 --> 00:38:28.920
 you live

00:38:28.920 --> 00:38:29.179
 in a

00:38:29.179 --> 00:38:29.539
 world

00:38:29.539 --> 00:38:30.099
 where

00:38:30.099 --> 00:38:30.380
 every

00:38:30.380 --> 00:38:30.920
 stream

00:38:30.920 --> 00:38:31.360
 has a

00:38:31.360 --> 00:38:31.700
 spiritual

00:38:31.700 --> 00:38:32.200
 power

00:38:32.200 --> 00:38:32.740
 and every

00:38:32.740 --> 00:38:33.119
 tree

00:38:33.119 --> 00:38:33.599
 and bush

00:38:33.599 --> 00:38:34.300
 has a

00:38:34.300 --> 00:38:34.619
 spiritual

00:38:34.619 --> 00:38:35.140
 power

00:38:35.140 --> 00:38:35.740
 you

00:38:35.740 --> 00:38:36.619
 couldn't

00:38:36.619 --> 00:38:36.920
 actually

00:38:36.920 --> 00:38:37.300
 do an

00:38:37.300 --> 00:38:37.860
 experiment

00:38:37.860 --> 00:38:38.539
 that works

00:38:38.539 --> 00:38:39.039
 because you

00:38:39.039 --> 00:38:39.500
 wouldn't know

00:38:39.500 --> 00:38:39.800
 if the

00:38:39.800 --> 00:38:40.019
 tree

00:38:40.019 --> 00:38:40.380
 just

00:38:40.380 --> 00:38:41.140
 the spirit

00:38:41.140 --> 00:38:41.539
 of the

00:38:41.539 --> 00:38:41.840
 tree

00:38:41.840 --> 00:38:43.059
 just decided

00:38:43.059 --> 00:38:43.460
 to have a

00:38:43.460 --> 00:38:44.079
 different result

00:38:44.079 --> 00:38:45.599
 and so we

00:38:45.599 --> 00:38:46.380
 have a world

00:38:46.380 --> 00:38:47.460
 where on one

00:38:47.460 --> 00:38:47.960
 hand there's

00:38:47.960 --> 00:38:48.500
 this attempt

00:38:48.500 --> 00:38:49.119
 to understand

00:38:49.119 --> 00:38:49.500
 that there's

00:38:49.500 --> 00:38:49.760
 something

00:38:49.760 --> 00:38:50.440
 spiritual

00:38:50.440 --> 00:38:51.579
 and they

00:38:51.579 --> 00:38:51.980
 try to

00:38:51.980 --> 00:38:52.480
 reach out

00:38:52.480 --> 00:38:53.240
 and to

00:38:53.240 --> 00:38:53.860
 understand it

00:38:53.860 --> 00:38:54.099
 but at the

00:38:54.099 --> 00:38:54.579
 same time

00:38:54.579 --> 00:38:55.680
 they keep

00:38:55.679 --> 00:38:56.679
 it's as if

00:38:56.679 --> 00:38:57.139
 on one

00:38:57.139 --> 00:38:57.460
 time

00:38:57.460 --> 00:38:57.819
 they're on

00:38:57.819 --> 00:38:58.379
 one ball

00:38:58.379 --> 00:38:58.739
 with the

00:38:58.739 --> 00:38:59.099
 spiritual

00:38:59.099 --> 00:38:59.359
 thing

00:38:59.359 --> 00:38:59.579
 and then

00:38:59.579 --> 00:38:59.940
 they jump

00:38:59.940 --> 00:39:00.239
 to the

00:39:00.239 --> 00:39:00.699
 other ball

00:39:00.699 --> 00:39:01.059
 which is

00:39:01.059 --> 00:39:01.699
 all science

00:39:01.699 --> 00:39:02.859
 there's this

00:39:02.859 --> 00:39:03.319
 one fellow

00:39:03.319 --> 00:39:04.000
 I've talked

00:39:04.000 --> 00:39:04.599
 to quite a

00:39:04.599 --> 00:39:05.119
 few times

00:39:05.119 --> 00:39:05.519
 and I just

00:39:05.519 --> 00:39:06.279
 keep challenging

00:39:06.279 --> 00:39:06.559
 him

00:39:06.559 --> 00:39:07.500
 how is it

00:39:07.500 --> 00:39:07.759
 that you

00:39:07.759 --> 00:39:08.259
 can accept

00:39:08.259 --> 00:39:08.839
 evolution

00:39:08.839 --> 00:39:10.559
 and at the

00:39:10.559 --> 00:39:11.039
 same time

00:39:11.039 --> 00:39:12.619
 accept all

00:39:12.619 --> 00:39:13.339
 these spiritual

00:39:13.339 --> 00:39:13.919
 realities

00:39:13.919 --> 00:39:14.619
 and he can't

00:39:14.619 --> 00:39:15.000
 he jumps

00:39:15.000 --> 00:39:15.460
 from one

00:39:15.460 --> 00:39:15.960
 ball to the

00:39:15.960 --> 00:39:16.359
 other back

00:39:16.359 --> 00:39:16.919
 and forward

00:39:16.919 --> 00:39:18.059
 only the

00:39:18.059 --> 00:39:18.819
 gospel makes

00:39:18.819 --> 00:39:19.179
 it clear

00:39:19.179 --> 00:39:19.639
 only the

00:39:19.639 --> 00:39:19.940
 bible

00:39:19.940 --> 00:39:20.440
 makes it

00:39:20.440 --> 00:39:20.679
 clear

00:39:20.679 --> 00:39:22.099
 because the

00:39:22.099 --> 00:39:22.960
 bible shows

00:39:22.960 --> 00:39:23.319
 how there

00:39:23.319 --> 00:39:23.940
 is a god

00:39:23.940 --> 00:39:24.599
 that all

00:39:24.599 --> 00:39:25.279
 things came

00:39:25.279 --> 00:39:25.819
 to be not

00:39:25.819 --> 00:39:26.279
 because of

00:39:26.279 --> 00:39:26.819
 a what

00:39:26.819 --> 00:39:28.019
 but because

00:39:28.019 --> 00:39:28.539
 of a who

00:39:28.539 --> 00:39:29.859
 that there

00:39:29.859 --> 00:39:30.399
 is a god

00:39:30.399 --> 00:39:30.819
 who does

00:39:30.819 --> 00:39:31.159
 exist

00:39:31.159 --> 00:39:31.619
 who's created

00:39:31.619 --> 00:39:32.559
 all things

00:39:32.559 --> 00:39:33.779
 and he

00:39:33.779 --> 00:39:34.179
 created

00:39:34.179 --> 00:39:35.480
 not only

00:39:35.480 --> 00:39:36.259
 a physical

00:39:36.259 --> 00:39:36.679
 world

00:39:36.679 --> 00:39:37.299
 but he also

00:39:37.299 --> 00:39:38.239
 created angels

00:39:38.239 --> 00:39:40.159
 and we know

00:39:40.159 --> 00:39:40.539
 that some

00:39:40.539 --> 00:39:41.119
 angels have

00:39:41.119 --> 00:39:41.399
 fallen

00:39:41.399 --> 00:39:41.799
 and that they

00:39:41.799 --> 00:39:42.399
 are demons

00:39:42.399 --> 00:39:44.139
 and so there's

00:39:44.139 --> 00:39:44.559
 a bad

00:39:44.559 --> 00:39:45.559
 spiritual reality

00:39:45.559 --> 00:39:46.099
 as well

00:39:46.099 --> 00:39:47.419
 and we know

00:39:47.419 --> 00:39:48.099
 that the god

00:39:48.099 --> 00:39:48.559
 who created

00:39:48.559 --> 00:39:49.539
 all things

00:39:49.539 --> 00:39:50.119
 and made

00:39:50.119 --> 00:39:50.779
 a world

00:39:50.779 --> 00:39:51.460
 where science

00:39:51.460 --> 00:39:51.980
 can understand

00:39:51.980 --> 00:39:52.219
 things

00:39:52.219 --> 00:39:52.859
 also made

00:39:52.859 --> 00:39:53.619
 human beings

00:39:53.619 --> 00:39:54.539
 to not just

00:39:54.539 --> 00:39:55.099
 be a body

00:39:55.099 --> 00:39:55.579
 but also

00:39:55.579 --> 00:39:56.319
 to have a soul

00:39:56.319 --> 00:39:56.739
 and also

00:39:56.739 --> 00:39:57.599
 to have a mind

00:39:57.599 --> 00:39:59.000
 that in fact

00:39:59.000 --> 00:40:00.099
 that natural

00:40:00.099 --> 00:40:00.779
 laws and

00:40:00.779 --> 00:40:01.819
 science

00:40:01.819 --> 00:40:02.420
 and all those

00:40:02.420 --> 00:40:02.940
 things cannot

00:40:02.940 --> 00:40:03.699
 account for

00:40:03.699 --> 00:40:04.159
 everything that

00:40:04.159 --> 00:40:04.779
 goes on in a

00:40:04.779 --> 00:40:05.319
 human being

00:40:05.319 --> 00:40:06.779
 that the idea

00:40:06.779 --> 00:40:07.359
 that there is

00:40:07.359 --> 00:40:07.759
 love

00:40:07.759 --> 00:40:08.579
 there is truth

00:40:08.579 --> 00:40:09.359
 there is beauty

00:40:09.359 --> 00:40:10.239
 there is goodness

00:40:10.239 --> 00:40:10.940
 there is

00:40:10.940 --> 00:40:11.839
 these other

00:40:11.839 --> 00:40:12.480
 things which

00:40:12.480 --> 00:40:13.039
 are not

00:40:13.039 --> 00:40:13.539
 physical

00:40:13.539 --> 00:40:14.839
 Christianity

00:40:14.839 --> 00:40:16.000
 is the only

00:40:16.000 --> 00:40:16.699
 system of

00:40:16.699 --> 00:40:17.139
 thought that

00:40:17.139 --> 00:40:18.019
 actually allows

00:40:18.019 --> 00:40:18.819
 you to understand

00:40:18.819 --> 00:40:19.880
 that there can

00:40:19.880 --> 00:40:20.380
 be both a

00:40:20.380 --> 00:40:21.180
 natural world

00:40:21.180 --> 00:40:21.519
 and a

00:40:21.519 --> 00:40:22.660
 spiritual world

00:40:22.660 --> 00:40:25.460
 because there

00:40:25.460 --> 00:40:26.019
 is the one

00:40:26.019 --> 00:40:26.760
 god who's

00:40:26.760 --> 00:40:27.640
 created both

00:40:27.640 --> 00:40:29.300
 and has revealed

00:40:29.300 --> 00:40:30.000
 the ways that

00:40:30.000 --> 00:40:31.000
 you can understand

00:40:31.000 --> 00:40:31.700
 both in the

00:40:31.700 --> 00:40:32.340
 proper way

00:40:32.340 --> 00:40:35.019
 and so when we

00:40:35.019 --> 00:40:35.780
 see here with

00:40:35.780 --> 00:40:36.980
 Jesus in the

00:40:36.980 --> 00:40:38.480
 story that by

00:40:38.480 --> 00:40:39.240
 the mere exercise

00:40:39.240 --> 00:40:39.940
 of his will

00:40:39.940 --> 00:40:40.640
 he knocks the

00:40:40.640 --> 00:40:41.220
 soldiers he

00:40:41.220 --> 00:40:41.619
 knocks the

00:40:41.619 --> 00:40:42.320
 police officers

00:40:42.320 --> 00:40:43.160
 down we

00:40:43.160 --> 00:40:43.820
 understand that

00:40:43.820 --> 00:40:44.559
 that is real

00:40:44.559 --> 00:40:45.900
 because spiritual

00:40:45.900 --> 00:40:47.140
 power is real

00:40:47.139 --> 00:40:48.319
 because the

00:40:48.319 --> 00:40:48.859
 god revealed

00:40:48.859 --> 00:40:49.440
 by Jesus

00:40:49.440 --> 00:40:50.319
 is real

00:40:50.319 --> 00:40:51.859
 another thing

00:40:51.859 --> 00:40:52.420
 which is really

00:40:52.420 --> 00:40:52.719
 important

00:40:52.719 --> 00:40:53.019
 if you could

00:40:53.019 --> 00:40:53.319
 put up the

00:40:53.319 --> 00:40:54.039
 second point

00:40:54.039 --> 00:40:55.819
 have to deal

00:40:55.819 --> 00:40:56.219
 with this

00:40:56.219 --> 00:40:57.199
 very briefly

00:40:57.199 --> 00:41:00.199
 god's grace

00:41:00.199 --> 00:41:00.819
 and mercy

00:41:00.819 --> 00:41:01.699
 are very real

00:41:01.699 --> 00:41:03.619
 so failure

00:41:03.619 --> 00:41:04.900
 betrayal

00:41:04.900 --> 00:41:06.339
 denial

00:41:06.339 --> 00:41:08.159
 and abandonment

00:41:08.159 --> 00:41:09.559
 do not have

00:41:09.559 --> 00:41:10.279
 to be final

00:41:10.280 --> 00:41:14.400
 every single

00:41:14.400 --> 00:41:14.980
 one of us

00:41:14.980 --> 00:41:15.260
 have been

00:41:15.260 --> 00:41:15.880
 victims of

00:41:15.880 --> 00:41:16.140
 this

00:41:16.140 --> 00:41:17.100
 some of us

00:41:17.100 --> 00:41:17.320
 have been

00:41:17.320 --> 00:41:18.100
 the perpetrators

00:41:18.100 --> 00:41:18.960
 of it

00:41:18.960 --> 00:41:22.420
 some of us

00:41:22.420 --> 00:41:22.900
 have been the

00:41:22.900 --> 00:41:23.580
 victims of

00:41:23.580 --> 00:41:24.280
 somebody who's

00:41:24.280 --> 00:41:24.960
 denied us

00:41:24.960 --> 00:41:25.540
 or abandoned

00:41:25.540 --> 00:41:26.500
 us or failed

00:41:26.500 --> 00:41:27.160
 us and others

00:41:27.160 --> 00:41:27.780
 of us have

00:41:27.780 --> 00:41:29.040
 and most of us

00:41:29.040 --> 00:41:29.600
 have been both

00:41:29.600 --> 00:41:30.400
 by the way

00:41:30.400 --> 00:41:30.920
 we've both

00:41:30.920 --> 00:41:31.720
 failed others

00:41:31.720 --> 00:41:32.880
 and we've been

00:41:32.880 --> 00:41:33.740
 failed against

00:41:33.740 --> 00:41:37.160
 and in our

00:41:37.160 --> 00:41:37.900
 culture we just

00:41:37.900 --> 00:41:38.400
 want to say

00:41:38.400 --> 00:41:39.000
 well that's not

00:41:39.000 --> 00:41:39.780
 the final word

00:41:39.780 --> 00:41:40.519
 things can get

00:41:40.519 --> 00:41:41.160
 better but the

00:41:41.160 --> 00:41:41.560
 fact of the

00:41:41.560 --> 00:41:41.940
 matter is in

00:41:41.940 --> 00:41:42.420
 our culture

00:41:42.420 --> 00:41:43.100
 the final word

00:41:43.100 --> 00:41:43.580
 about all of

00:41:43.580 --> 00:41:44.280
 us is death

00:41:44.280 --> 00:41:47.680
 I don't know

00:41:47.680 --> 00:41:48.740
 how much Al Gore's

00:41:48.740 --> 00:41:49.100
 film and

00:41:49.100 --> 00:41:50.040
 inconvenient truth

00:41:50.040 --> 00:41:51.080
 documented

00:41:51.080 --> 00:41:52.300
 inconvenient truths

00:41:52.300 --> 00:41:53.540
 but in our

00:41:53.540 --> 00:41:54.060
 culture the

00:41:54.060 --> 00:41:54.940
 reality of death

00:41:54.940 --> 00:41:55.420
 is the most

00:41:55.420 --> 00:41:55.940
 profound

00:41:55.940 --> 00:41:57.140
 inconvenient truth

00:41:57.140 --> 00:41:57.560
 that our

00:41:57.560 --> 00:41:58.080
 culture does

00:41:58.080 --> 00:41:58.560
 not want to

00:41:58.560 --> 00:41:58.960
 talk about

00:41:58.960 --> 00:41:59.560
 or think about

00:41:59.560 --> 00:42:03.260
 but what we

00:42:03.260 --> 00:42:03.620
 see here in

00:42:03.620 --> 00:42:04.140
 the gospel

00:42:04.140 --> 00:42:05.519
 it's not obvious

00:42:05.519 --> 00:42:06.019
 in this story

00:42:06.019 --> 00:42:07.019
 but it's hinted

00:42:07.019 --> 00:42:07.519
 at for the

00:42:07.519 --> 00:42:08.180
 charcoal and those

00:42:08.180 --> 00:42:08.580
 of us who know

00:42:08.580 --> 00:42:09.100
 the story know

00:42:09.100 --> 00:42:09.540
 the end

00:42:09.539 --> 00:42:10.179
 is the fact

00:42:10.179 --> 00:42:10.500
 of the matter

00:42:10.500 --> 00:42:12.079
 is that Peter's

00:42:12.079 --> 00:42:12.639
 failure

00:42:12.639 --> 00:42:13.860
 his denial

00:42:13.860 --> 00:42:15.360
 his abandonment

00:42:15.360 --> 00:42:16.159
 his religious

00:42:16.159 --> 00:42:17.179
 violence is not

00:42:17.179 --> 00:42:17.900
 the final word

00:42:17.900 --> 00:42:18.440
 about him

00:42:18.440 --> 00:42:19.480
 because the

00:42:19.480 --> 00:42:19.980
 final word

00:42:19.980 --> 00:42:20.579
 about Jesus

00:42:20.579 --> 00:42:21.599
 is not death

00:42:21.599 --> 00:42:22.779
 but life

00:42:22.779 --> 00:42:24.360
 he dies

00:42:24.360 --> 00:42:25.219
 and tastes

00:42:25.219 --> 00:42:25.820
 all there is

00:42:25.820 --> 00:42:26.400
 to taste of

00:42:26.400 --> 00:42:26.900
 death and on

00:42:26.900 --> 00:42:27.460
 the third day

00:42:27.460 --> 00:42:28.059
 he rises

00:42:28.059 --> 00:42:28.960
 having defeated

00:42:28.960 --> 00:42:30.239
 death and he

00:42:30.239 --> 00:42:30.880
 does all of

00:42:30.880 --> 00:42:31.420
 this out of

00:42:31.420 --> 00:42:32.079
 love for you

00:42:32.079 --> 00:42:32.480
 and me

00:42:32.480 --> 00:42:34.840
 he does this

00:42:34.840 --> 00:42:35.480
 knowing that we

00:42:35.480 --> 00:42:36.179
 cannot make

00:42:36.179 --> 00:42:37.019
 ourselves right

00:42:37.019 --> 00:42:37.659
 with God

00:42:37.659 --> 00:42:38.440
 that left

00:42:38.440 --> 00:42:39.339
 to ourselves

00:42:39.339 --> 00:42:40.420
 things like

00:42:40.420 --> 00:42:41.139
 betrayal and

00:42:41.139 --> 00:42:41.839
 abandonment

00:42:41.839 --> 00:42:42.639
 are in fact

00:42:42.639 --> 00:42:43.599
 the final words

00:42:43.599 --> 00:42:44.159
 about us

00:42:44.159 --> 00:42:44.799
 but be in

00:42:44.799 --> 00:42:45.259
 Jesus

00:42:45.259 --> 00:42:47.179
 because we

00:42:47.179 --> 00:42:48.000
 see the grace

00:42:48.000 --> 00:42:48.500
 and mercy

00:42:48.500 --> 00:42:49.019
 of God

00:42:49.019 --> 00:42:49.699
 made flesh

00:42:49.699 --> 00:42:50.079
 and made

00:42:50.079 --> 00:42:50.480
 real

00:42:50.480 --> 00:42:51.000
 that when we

00:42:51.000 --> 00:42:51.339
 put our

00:42:51.339 --> 00:42:51.779
 faith and

00:42:51.779 --> 00:42:52.319
 trust in

00:42:52.319 --> 00:42:52.739
 him

00:42:52.739 --> 00:42:54.799
 we can

00:42:54.799 --> 00:42:55.519
 begin to

00:42:55.519 --> 00:42:56.000
 believe the

00:42:56.000 --> 00:42:56.659
 promise in

00:42:56.659 --> 00:42:57.219
 Romans 8

00:42:57.219 --> 00:42:57.879
 that all things

00:42:57.879 --> 00:42:58.519
 work together

00:42:58.519 --> 00:42:58.940
 for them

00:42:58.940 --> 00:42:59.359
 that love

00:42:59.359 --> 00:42:59.519
 them

00:42:59.519 --> 00:43:00.379
 and that

00:43:00.379 --> 00:43:00.960
 nothing can

00:43:00.960 --> 00:43:01.599
 separate us

00:43:01.599 --> 00:43:02.039
 from the love

00:43:02.039 --> 00:43:02.440
 of God

00:43:02.440 --> 00:43:02.879
 forever

00:43:02.880 --> 00:43:04.579
 and that

00:43:04.579 --> 00:43:05.039
 the final

00:43:05.039 --> 00:43:05.780
 word about

00:43:05.780 --> 00:43:06.360
 us is that

00:43:06.360 --> 00:43:06.660
 you have

00:43:06.660 --> 00:43:07.160
 been given

00:43:07.160 --> 00:43:07.960
 by God

00:43:07.960 --> 00:43:08.559
 the Father

00:43:08.559 --> 00:43:09.280
 to Jesus

00:43:09.280 --> 00:43:10.019
 because the

00:43:10.019 --> 00:43:10.700
 Father loves

00:43:10.700 --> 00:43:11.079
 you and

00:43:11.079 --> 00:43:11.780
 Jesus loves

00:43:11.780 --> 00:43:12.539
 you

00:43:12.539 --> 00:43:15.460
 final takeaway

00:43:15.460 --> 00:43:16.000
 from this

00:43:16.000 --> 00:43:16.599
 whole thing

00:43:16.599 --> 00:43:19.079
 because Jesus

00:43:19.079 --> 00:43:19.880
 loves you

00:43:19.880 --> 00:43:23.079
 your cup

00:43:23.079 --> 00:43:24.059
 he drank

00:43:24.059 --> 00:43:25.860
 because Jesus

00:43:25.860 --> 00:43:26.559
 loves you

00:43:26.559 --> 00:43:28.000
 his cup

00:43:28.000 --> 00:43:29.260
 he prepared

00:43:29.260 --> 00:43:29.740
 for you

00:43:29.739 --> 00:43:33.219
 and the

00:43:33.219 --> 00:43:34.859
 language in

00:43:34.859 --> 00:43:35.559
 this story

00:43:35.559 --> 00:43:36.439
 about Jesus

00:43:36.439 --> 00:43:37.059
 saying

00:43:37.059 --> 00:43:38.139
 yes I have

00:43:38.139 --> 00:43:38.659
 the spiritual

00:43:38.659 --> 00:43:39.439
 power that I

00:43:39.439 --> 00:43:39.979
 can knock you

00:43:39.979 --> 00:43:40.459
 all down

00:43:40.459 --> 00:43:41.339
 just like that

00:43:41.339 --> 00:43:42.639
 but I've

00:43:42.639 --> 00:43:43.159
 come to

00:43:43.159 --> 00:43:43.619
 drink the

00:43:43.619 --> 00:43:43.959
 cup

00:43:43.959 --> 00:43:46.199
 and it's a

00:43:46.199 --> 00:43:46.619
 very very

00:43:46.619 --> 00:43:47.579
 powerful Old

00:43:47.579 --> 00:43:48.359
 Testament image

00:43:48.359 --> 00:43:48.819
 and those of

00:43:48.819 --> 00:43:49.599
 you who love

00:43:49.599 --> 00:43:50.459
 fantasy things

00:43:50.459 --> 00:43:50.959
 if you just

00:43:50.959 --> 00:43:52.099
 imagined that

00:43:52.099 --> 00:43:52.639
 God in a

00:43:52.639 --> 00:43:53.279
 sense was to

00:43:53.279 --> 00:43:54.159
 take all of

00:43:54.159 --> 00:43:55.299
 me and

00:43:55.299 --> 00:43:55.879
 take me in

00:43:55.879 --> 00:43:56.459
 his powerful

00:43:56.459 --> 00:43:57.939
 hand and

00:43:57.939 --> 00:43:58.539
 then sort of

00:43:58.539 --> 00:43:59.419
 just to squeeze

00:43:59.419 --> 00:43:59.719
 me but

00:43:59.719 --> 00:44:00.599
 as he squeezed

00:44:00.599 --> 00:44:02.339
 me the lies

00:44:02.339 --> 00:44:03.439
 of my life

00:44:03.439 --> 00:44:04.059
 come out

00:44:04.059 --> 00:44:05.659
 and they come

00:44:05.659 --> 00:44:05.980
 out it would

00:44:05.980 --> 00:44:06.899
 look very black

00:44:06.899 --> 00:44:07.459
 and foul

00:44:07.459 --> 00:44:08.099
 everything that

00:44:08.099 --> 00:44:08.599
 would come out

00:44:08.599 --> 00:44:08.939
 of me in

00:44:08.939 --> 00:44:09.599
 this sense

00:44:09.599 --> 00:44:10.159
 in this image

00:44:10.159 --> 00:44:10.799
 would be black

00:44:10.799 --> 00:44:11.359
 and foul

00:44:11.359 --> 00:44:12.319
 and underneath

00:44:12.319 --> 00:44:12.719
 the Lord

00:44:12.719 --> 00:44:13.439
 has a cup

00:44:13.439 --> 00:44:14.659
 and as he

00:44:14.659 --> 00:44:15.219
 squeezed me

00:44:15.219 --> 00:44:15.919
 my lies

00:44:15.919 --> 00:44:16.459
 come out

00:44:16.459 --> 00:44:17.819
 my abusive

00:44:17.819 --> 00:44:18.459
 power

00:44:18.459 --> 00:44:19.619
 comes out

00:44:19.619 --> 00:44:21.599
 my hatred

00:44:21.599 --> 00:44:22.779
 comes out

00:44:22.779 --> 00:44:24.319
 my envy

00:44:24.319 --> 00:44:25.399
 comes out

00:44:25.399 --> 00:44:26.679
 my lack

00:44:26.679 --> 00:44:27.339
 of forgiveness

00:44:27.339 --> 00:44:28.539
 comes out

00:44:28.539 --> 00:44:30.699
 my greed

00:44:30.699 --> 00:44:31.519
 comes out

00:44:31.519 --> 00:44:32.440
 we could go

00:44:32.440 --> 00:44:32.940
 on and on

00:44:32.940 --> 00:44:33.320
 and on

00:44:33.320 --> 00:44:33.880
 and all of

00:44:33.880 --> 00:44:34.219
 them as he

00:44:34.219 --> 00:44:34.800
 squeezes

00:44:34.800 --> 00:44:35.460
 all of my

00:44:35.460 --> 00:44:35.820
 life

00:44:35.820 --> 00:44:36.759
 from the

00:44:36.759 --> 00:44:37.099
 moment of

00:44:37.099 --> 00:44:37.719
 my conception

00:44:37.719 --> 00:44:38.239
 to what is

00:44:38.239 --> 00:44:38.699
 me and my

00:44:38.699 --> 00:44:39.139
 future

00:44:39.139 --> 00:44:39.699
 my debt

00:44:39.699 --> 00:44:40.699
 it's still

00:44:40.699 --> 00:44:41.199
 in the future

00:44:41.199 --> 00:44:41.860
 but the

00:44:41.860 --> 00:44:42.380
 whole of me

00:44:42.380 --> 00:44:42.619
 as he

00:44:42.619 --> 00:44:43.460
 squeezed me

00:44:43.460 --> 00:44:44.139
 and if you

00:44:44.139 --> 00:44:44.759
 just imagine

00:44:44.759 --> 00:44:45.199
 that everything

00:44:45.199 --> 00:44:45.500
 that he

00:44:45.500 --> 00:44:46.000
 squeezes

00:44:46.000 --> 00:44:46.900
 which is bad

00:44:46.900 --> 00:44:47.480
 and foul

00:44:47.480 --> 00:44:48.039
 and wrong

00:44:48.039 --> 00:44:48.460
 that I have

00:44:48.460 --> 00:44:48.699
 done

00:44:48.699 --> 00:44:49.139
 and all the

00:44:49.139 --> 00:44:49.579
 good things

00:44:49.579 --> 00:44:50.039
 that I should

00:44:50.039 --> 00:44:50.360
 have done

00:44:50.360 --> 00:44:50.679
 and could

00:44:50.679 --> 00:44:51.039
 have done

00:44:51.039 --> 00:44:51.539
 but didn't

00:44:51.539 --> 00:44:51.779
 do

00:44:51.779 --> 00:44:52.420
 and they're

00:44:52.420 --> 00:44:53.059
 all squeezed

00:44:53.059 --> 00:44:53.360
 and they're

00:44:53.360 --> 00:44:53.960
 all black

00:44:53.960 --> 00:44:54.199
 and they're

00:44:54.199 --> 00:44:54.759
 all foul

00:44:54.760 --> 00:44:55.040
 and they

00:44:55.040 --> 00:44:55.620
 all stink

00:44:55.620 --> 00:44:55.860
 and they

00:44:55.860 --> 00:44:56.160
 all go

00:44:56.160 --> 00:44:56.600
 into a

00:44:56.600 --> 00:44:56.880
 cup

00:44:56.880 --> 00:44:59.400
 and the

00:44:59.400 --> 00:45:00.040
 image here

00:45:00.040 --> 00:45:01.140
 is that

00:45:01.140 --> 00:45:01.920
 that cup

00:45:01.920 --> 00:45:02.760
 that if at

00:45:02.760 --> 00:45:03.260
 the day of

00:45:03.260 --> 00:45:03.640
 judgment

00:45:03.640 --> 00:45:04.300
 God gave

00:45:04.300 --> 00:45:04.560
 to me

00:45:04.560 --> 00:45:04.980
 to drink

00:45:04.980 --> 00:45:05.260
 it would

00:45:05.260 --> 00:45:05.880
 kill me

00:45:05.880 --> 00:45:06.260
 it would

00:45:06.260 --> 00:45:06.640
 be my

00:45:06.640 --> 00:45:07.320
 damnation

00:45:07.320 --> 00:45:09.520
 but Jesus

00:45:09.520 --> 00:45:10.100
 takes that

00:45:10.100 --> 00:45:10.460
 cup and

00:45:10.460 --> 00:45:10.840
 drinks it

00:45:10.840 --> 00:45:11.300
 for me

00:45:11.300 --> 00:45:13.760
 he takes

00:45:13.760 --> 00:45:14.200
 that cup

00:45:14.200 --> 00:45:14.580
 and drinks

00:45:14.580 --> 00:45:15.180
 it for me

00:45:15.180 --> 00:45:15.920
 because he

00:45:15.920 --> 00:45:16.420
 loves me

00:45:16.420 --> 00:45:17.680
 that's what's

00:45:17.680 --> 00:45:18.100
 happening on

00:45:18.100 --> 00:45:18.640
 the cross

00:45:18.639 --> 00:45:21.699
