WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.560 Well, as I say, it's a family service today and we're thinking about the theme of Easter. 00:00:06.780 --> 00:00:11.599 And Easter, when we think about it, maybe brings many different things to our minds. 00:00:11.599 --> 00:00:16.399 We often think of it as a time of holiday. It's good to get a break. 00:00:16.940 --> 00:00:20.420 It's a time when maybe you've been looking around outside. 00:00:20.420 --> 00:00:25.400 Maybe you started to see lambs appearing in the crofts around you. 00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:29.800 I saw my first lamb this week in the field beside us up at the manse. 00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:31.719 And it's lovely to see that. 00:00:31.859 --> 00:00:37.140 And our dog Benji is now keeping a watchful eye over them all to see them as they arrive. 00:00:37.259 --> 00:00:39.359 He loves watching over the wall as well. 00:00:39.859 --> 00:00:42.060 And the amazing thing is how often they come up to the wall. 00:00:42.140 --> 00:00:45.600 They don't seem scared of him, which is lovely to see as well. 00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:50.159 So there's a lot of different things that we associate with this time of year, Easter time. 00:00:50.939 --> 00:00:54.560 But the main thing is the Easter story. 00:00:54.560 --> 00:01:02.240 And on Thursday night, if you were at Explorers, we were talking there a little about the Easter story. 00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:06.920 And I said on Thursday night, and I think, was it a mistake? 00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:07.579 I'm not sure. 00:01:07.579 --> 00:01:15.179 But I said if you came to church on Sunday, and if you went through to the hall next door, I would share my Easter egg with you. 00:01:16.739 --> 00:01:19.420 So here's my Easter egg. 00:01:19.420 --> 00:01:25.439 And maybe if you were there on Thursday, you're thinking, that's not the one you had. 00:01:26.180 --> 00:01:27.620 You had a different one. 00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:29.019 What happened to that one? 00:01:29.460 --> 00:01:31.680 You said it was your favorite chocolate. 00:01:32.260 --> 00:01:33.540 It was a Galaxy one. 00:01:33.540 --> 00:01:35.120 And this is not a Galaxy. 00:01:35.180 --> 00:01:36.180 This is Malteser. 00:01:36.780 --> 00:01:39.480 So you're thinking to yourself, maybe I ate it. 00:01:40.060 --> 00:01:41.900 Well, no, I didn't. 00:01:42.080 --> 00:01:45.100 I said I would share it with you, and I will. 00:01:45.660 --> 00:01:47.860 It's hopefully next door. 00:01:48.480 --> 00:01:50.980 Unless Lizzie ate it since Thursday night. 00:01:51.060 --> 00:01:52.180 But it should be next door. 00:01:52.240 --> 00:01:58.700 So if you come through next door, you'll get a share of that one and this one as well, just to make sure there's enough to go around. 00:01:58.700 --> 00:02:04.460 Because we're talking then about sharing and how important, how good it is to share. 00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:13.319 And what we're going to do today is not just share an Easter egg together, but we're going to share, as I was saying on Thursday, God's Word together as well. 00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:19.099 Because it's important that we think about Easter and the message of Easter. 00:02:19.219 --> 00:02:25.539 So we're going to look at the Easter story today, and especially people who were involved at that time. 00:02:25.539 --> 00:02:31.799 And three people in particular we're going to look at today are three people who had been arrested. 00:02:32.780 --> 00:02:33.739 They'd been arrested. 00:02:34.399 --> 00:02:35.959 Have you ever been arrested? 00:02:36.299 --> 00:02:41.280 I'm not going to ask for a show of hands, but it's a scary thing to think about being arrested. 00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:48.019 When the police maybe catch up with you, there was somebody in America this week, a famous golfer, Tiger Woods. 00:02:48.280 --> 00:02:51.620 And he was arrested because he did something silly. 00:02:52.340 --> 00:02:54.379 And it's there in the news. 00:02:54.379 --> 00:02:56.819 Everybody hears about it. 00:02:57.479 --> 00:03:02.639 When you think of someone being arrested, you always think, well, they must have done something wrong. 00:03:03.039 --> 00:03:05.259 I wonder what they did. 00:03:06.099 --> 00:03:14.599 And when we look at the Easter story in particular, we're looking today at three people who were put on a cross at this time. 00:03:14.939 --> 00:03:18.199 Two criminals and one who was Jesus. 00:03:18.379 --> 00:03:22.120 We're thinking of these three people who were on the cross that day. 00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:27.219 And we're going to look at them and see, well, did they all deserve to be there? 00:03:28.259 --> 00:03:30.640 Had they all done something wrong? 00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:38.140 Well, two had, because we're told that they were criminals, that they were thieves, that they were robbers. 00:03:38.219 --> 00:03:42.340 So they had done things wrong and they deserved to be punished. 00:03:42.480 --> 00:03:44.800 But Jesus was there. 00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:48.840 And if we ask ourselves, well, what had Jesus done wrong? 00:03:49.320 --> 00:03:52.400 That's the question that the people had at this time. 00:03:52.620 --> 00:03:54.460 You've got Pilate, you've got Herod. 00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:57.840 They were two people who were in charge at this time. 00:03:57.880 --> 00:03:59.800 And they're asking, what has he done? 00:04:00.060 --> 00:04:01.660 I can find no fault. 00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:02.920 He's done nothing wrong. 00:04:03.320 --> 00:04:04.480 He doesn't deserve this. 00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:06.500 But the people said, no, he does. 00:04:07.119 --> 00:04:08.739 He deserves this. 00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:12.379 But why was Jesus on the cross? 00:04:12.939 --> 00:04:15.979 Well, it wasn't that he had done something wrong. 00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:19.759 It was because we had done something wrong. 00:04:20.620 --> 00:04:23.019 And that we keep doing the wrong things. 00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:24.420 We keep making mistakes. 00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:27.120 We keep doing the wrong thing. 00:04:27.219 --> 00:04:29.980 We keep sinning, as we call it. 00:04:29.980 --> 00:04:33.340 And that's why Jesus was on the cross. 00:04:33.400 --> 00:04:37.259 And that's the Easter story that we're going to think about today. 00:04:37.540 --> 00:04:40.860 To share this word with each other. 00:04:41.100 --> 00:04:46.560 To think about Jesus and how he was there with two criminals who had done wrong. 00:04:47.259 --> 00:04:50.720 And how he reached out to one of them in particular. 00:04:51.420 --> 00:04:56.200 As a reminder to us that he did that for you and for me as well. 00:04:56.199 --> 00:05:02.300 That if we believe in him, we can be saved by his love and by his grace. 00:05:02.379 --> 00:05:06.659 So we're going to consider these three crosses together today. 00:05:06.779 --> 00:05:10.379 We're going to think of one cross that had a blind thief. 00:05:11.039 --> 00:05:13.579 The second cross that had a bold sinner. 00:05:14.379 --> 00:05:18.000 And the third cross that had a blessed Savior. 00:05:18.740 --> 00:05:20.699 So we're going to think about these things. 00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:23.659 But before we do, we're going to sing again. 00:05:23.660 --> 00:05:25.840 We're going to sing in Psalm 30. 00:05:26.760 --> 00:05:29.920 And if the younger ones want to go out, they can do so at this point. 00:05:30.660 --> 00:05:32.420 Through to the holiday tweenies. 00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:34.160 Just going through the door to my left here. 00:05:34.580 --> 00:05:36.400 We're going to sing in Psalm 30. 00:05:37.440 --> 00:05:39.280 The Scottish Psalter version. 00:05:39.460 --> 00:05:40.940 Page 239. 00:05:43.280 --> 00:05:47.260 We're going to sing from verse 1 to verse 4. 00:05:47.259 --> 00:05:51.480 Lord, I will thee extol. 00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:53.980 For thou hast lifted me on high. 00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:56.279 And over me thou to rejoice. 00:05:56.459 --> 00:05:57.839 Mades not my enemy. 00:05:58.420 --> 00:06:00.599 O thou who art the Lord my God. 00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:03.319 I in distress to thee with loud cries. 00:06:03.899 --> 00:06:05.099 Lifted up my voice. 00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:07.240 And thou hast healed me. 00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:09.459 We'll sing from verse 1 to 4. 00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:11.039 To God's praise. 00:06:11.180 --> 00:06:12.639 And we stand to sing. 00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:12.699 Amen. 00:06:12.699 --> 00:06:12.699 00:06:12.699 --> 00:06:12.699 00:06:17.259 --> 00:06:23.740 Lord, I will thee extol. 00:06:23.740 --> 00:06:33.279 For thou hast lifted me on high. 00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:42.759 And over me thou to rejoice. 00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:48.979 Mades not my enemy. 00:06:48.979 --> 00:07:00.139 O thou who art the Lord my God. 00:07:00.139 --> 00:07:07.139 I am distressed to thee. 00:07:07.139 --> 00:07:17.779 With love cries lifted up my voice. 00:07:17.779 --> 00:07:24.379 And thou hast healed me. 00:07:24.379 --> 00:07:31.120 O Lord my soul. 00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:36.060 Thou hast brought up. 00:07:36.060 --> 00:07:44.079 And rescued from the grave. 00:07:44.079 --> 00:07:49.339 That I to pay. 00:07:49.339 --> 00:07:54.219 Should not go down. 00:07:54.219 --> 00:08:02.199 A life thou did me say. 00:08:02.199 --> 00:08:12.339 O ye that are his holy ones. 00:08:12.339 --> 00:08:20.199 Sing praise unto the Lord. 00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:28.120 And give unto him thanks. 00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:36.659 When ye his holiness record. 00:08:36.659 --> 00:08:37.659 Amen. 00:08:43.980 --> 00:08:45.980 We're going to turn to read. 00:08:46.259 --> 00:08:47.600 In the Bible now. 00:08:47.719 --> 00:08:48.600 From God's word. 00:08:48.699 --> 00:08:49.839 We're going to read in Luke. 00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:53.959 Luke chapter 23. 00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:57.759 You'll find it around page 1064. 00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:00.279 Of the church Bibles. 00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:02.939 Luke chapter 23. 00:09:02.940 --> 00:09:05.780 We're going to read from verse 26. 00:09:06.580 --> 00:09:09.060 Down to verse 43. 00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:15.020 Luke chapter 23 at verse 26. 00:09:15.020 --> 00:09:18.620 And this is the time when Jesus was taken out. 00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:20.220 On the cross. 00:09:21.320 --> 00:09:22.480 And as they led him away. 00:09:22.660 --> 00:09:24.860 They seized one Simon of Cyrene. 00:09:25.040 --> 00:09:26.840 Who was coming in from the country. 00:09:27.240 --> 00:09:28.920 And laid on him the cross. 00:09:29.020 --> 00:09:30.720 To carry it behind Jesus. 00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:34.360 And there followed him a great multitude of people. 00:09:34.360 --> 00:09:35.980 And of women who were mourning. 00:09:36.420 --> 00:09:37.820 And lamenting for him. 00:09:38.560 --> 00:09:40.420 But turning to them Jesus said. 00:09:40.840 --> 00:09:42.000 Daughters of Jerusalem. 00:09:42.340 --> 00:09:43.519 Do not weep for me. 00:09:43.980 --> 00:09:45.160 But weep for yourselves. 00:09:45.300 --> 00:09:46.320 And for your children. 00:09:46.980 --> 00:09:48.480 For behold the days are coming. 00:09:48.560 --> 00:09:49.420 When they will say. 00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:50.879 Blessed are the barren. 00:09:50.940 --> 00:09:52.340 And the wombs that never bore. 00:09:52.460 --> 00:09:54.460 And the breasts that never nursed. 00:09:55.040 --> 00:09:57.040 Then they will begin to say to the mountains. 00:09:57.220 --> 00:09:58.200 Fall on us. 00:09:58.620 --> 00:09:59.560 And to the hills. 00:09:59.759 --> 00:10:00.399 Cover us. 00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:02.319 For if they do these things. 00:10:02.419 --> 00:10:03.279 When the wood is green. 00:10:03.539 --> 00:10:05.579 What will happen when it is dry? 00:10:06.519 --> 00:10:08.360 To others who were criminals. 00:10:08.559 --> 00:10:09.399 Were led away. 00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:11.439 To be put to death with him. 00:10:11.899 --> 00:10:13.159 When they came to the place. 00:10:13.220 --> 00:10:14.459 That is called the skull. 00:10:15.059 --> 00:10:16.840 There they crucified him. 00:10:16.959 --> 00:10:17.779 And the criminals. 00:10:18.220 --> 00:10:19.039 One on his right. 00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:20.139 And one on his left. 00:10:20.959 --> 00:10:21.860 And Jesus said. 00:10:22.039 --> 00:10:23.299 Father forgive them. 00:10:23.639 --> 00:10:25.519 For they know not what they do. 00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:27.279 And they cast lots. 00:10:27.379 --> 00:10:28.419 To divide his garments. 00:10:28.419 --> 00:10:30.819 And the people stood by watching. 00:10:30.939 --> 00:10:32.539 But the rulers scoffed at him. 00:10:32.699 --> 00:10:32.959 Saying. 00:10:33.539 --> 00:10:34.379 He saved others. 00:10:34.539 --> 00:10:36.079 Let him save himself. 00:10:36.519 --> 00:10:38.559 If he is the Christ of God. 00:10:38.939 --> 00:10:40.219 His chosen one. 00:10:40.919 --> 00:10:42.579 The soldiers also mocked him. 00:10:42.699 --> 00:10:44.759 Coming up and offering him sour wine. 00:10:44.879 --> 00:10:45.360 And saying. 00:10:45.799 --> 00:10:47.679 If you are the king of the Jews. 00:10:47.819 --> 00:10:48.759 Save yourself. 00:10:49.759 --> 00:10:51.699 There was also an inscription over him. 00:10:51.700 --> 00:10:54.420 This is the king of the Jews. 00:10:55.460 --> 00:10:56.680 One of the criminals. 00:10:56.680 --> 00:10:57.500 Who were hanged. 00:10:57.500 --> 00:10:58.220 Railed at him. 00:10:58.360 --> 00:10:58.640 Saying. 00:10:59.240 --> 00:11:00.340 Are you not the Christ? 00:11:00.860 --> 00:11:01.720 Save yourself. 00:11:01.820 --> 00:11:02.420 And us. 00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:04.660 But the other rebuked him. 00:11:04.780 --> 00:11:05.040 Saying. 00:11:05.180 --> 00:11:06.580 Do you not fear God? 00:11:07.180 --> 00:11:09.180 Since you are under the same sentence. 00:11:09.180 --> 00:11:10.180 Of condemnation. 00:11:10.720 --> 00:11:12.300 And we indeed justly. 00:11:12.360 --> 00:11:14.120 For we are receiving the due reward. 00:11:14.120 --> 00:11:14.900 Of our deeds. 00:11:15.580 --> 00:11:17.420 But this man has done nothing wrong. 00:11:18.379 --> 00:11:19.079 And he said. 00:11:19.299 --> 00:11:19.659 Jesus. 00:11:20.439 --> 00:11:21.319 Remember me. 00:11:21.399 --> 00:11:22.819 When you come into your kingdom. 00:11:23.479 --> 00:11:24.639 And he said to him. 00:11:25.099 --> 00:11:26.659 Truly I say to you. 00:11:27.159 --> 00:11:27.599 Today. 00:11:28.019 --> 00:11:29.659 You will be with me in paradise. 00:11:30.759 --> 00:11:31.419 And so on. 00:11:31.479 --> 00:11:32.439 And may God bless that. 00:11:32.519 --> 00:11:32.759 Reading. 00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:34.639 From his word. 00:11:35.439 --> 00:11:35.679 Well. 00:11:35.719 --> 00:11:37.240 We are going to look at the three crosses. 00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:38.179 Like I say. 00:11:38.740 --> 00:11:40.319 And the first one we are looking at. 00:11:40.319 --> 00:11:41.879 Is the cross where we see. 00:11:42.039 --> 00:11:43.120 One of the criminals. 00:11:43.319 --> 00:11:44.159 Who I am going to call. 00:11:44.599 --> 00:11:46.120 A blind thief. 00:11:46.259 --> 00:11:47.319 And if you just look again. 00:11:47.320 --> 00:11:48.340 At verse 39. 00:11:48.340 --> 00:11:49.160 It says. 00:11:49.900 --> 00:11:50.960 One of the criminals. 00:11:51.300 --> 00:11:52.340 Who were hanged. 00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:53.740 Railed at him. 00:11:53.879 --> 00:11:54.200 Saying. 00:11:54.420 --> 00:11:56.160 Are you not the Christ? 00:11:56.640 --> 00:11:57.940 Save yourself. 00:11:58.620 --> 00:11:59.440 And us. 00:12:01.400 --> 00:12:03.060 We are told that this man. 00:12:03.220 --> 00:12:04.060 Was a criminal. 00:12:05.020 --> 00:12:06.260 He's been caught. 00:12:06.620 --> 00:12:07.840 He had done something wrong. 00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:09.640 We know that he was a thief. 00:12:09.700 --> 00:12:10.220 A robber. 00:12:10.280 --> 00:12:11.120 He'd been caught. 00:12:11.680 --> 00:12:13.520 And he'd been convicted. 00:12:13.520 --> 00:12:14.960 That means he'd been charged. 00:12:14.960 --> 00:12:16.100 With his crime. 00:12:16.100 --> 00:12:18.480 And as a result of that. 00:12:18.700 --> 00:12:20.060 There was a consequence. 00:12:20.540 --> 00:12:21.259 And that was. 00:12:21.379 --> 00:12:23.420 That he was going to be put on a cross. 00:12:23.519 --> 00:12:25.200 He would die there. 00:12:26.300 --> 00:12:27.080 And yet. 00:12:27.240 --> 00:12:28.379 At this moment. 00:12:29.120 --> 00:12:31.440 When all hope seems lost. 00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:32.320 For him. 00:12:32.740 --> 00:12:34.019 In so many ways. 00:12:34.700 --> 00:12:36.060 He was blind. 00:12:36.060 --> 00:12:37.259 To the opportunity. 00:12:37.259 --> 00:12:38.920 That was before him. 00:12:39.460 --> 00:12:40.779 In the man that was. 00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:41.980 Beside him. 00:12:41.980 --> 00:12:44.220 And we could ask ourselves. 00:12:44.420 --> 00:12:44.580 Well. 00:12:45.080 --> 00:12:45.560 How. 00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:47.320 Was this man. 00:12:47.639 --> 00:12:48.039 Blind. 00:12:48.980 --> 00:12:49.240 It. 00:12:49.539 --> 00:12:50.800 Seems that he could see. 00:12:50.860 --> 00:12:51.899 Everything that was going on. 00:12:51.960 --> 00:12:52.519 Around him. 00:12:52.560 --> 00:12:53.779 He could see the people. 00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:55.620 That were beside him. 00:12:55.940 --> 00:12:56.279 And yet. 00:12:56.340 --> 00:12:57.200 He was still. 00:12:57.539 --> 00:12:57.980 Blind. 00:12:59.060 --> 00:12:59.480 How. 00:12:59.860 --> 00:13:00.659 Was he blind. 00:13:00.759 --> 00:13:01.680 And what kind of. 00:13:02.259 --> 00:13:02.779 Blindness. 00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:03.680 Was this. 00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:03.899 Well. 00:13:03.920 --> 00:13:05.300 It's the same kind of blindness. 00:13:05.940 --> 00:13:06.960 That you can have. 00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:07.860 And I can have. 00:13:08.000 --> 00:13:08.740 As well. 00:13:08.740 --> 00:13:11.159 It's to be blind. 00:13:11.159 --> 00:13:12.940 In a certain situation. 00:13:12.940 --> 00:13:13.440 Which means. 00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:14.779 We're just not aware. 00:13:15.180 --> 00:13:16.519 Of what's happening. 00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:17.560 Around us. 00:13:17.600 --> 00:13:18.320 And the danger. 00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:19.919 That we are in. 00:13:20.980 --> 00:13:22.139 When I was younger. 00:13:22.139 --> 00:13:24.060 And living over in Shabbos. 00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:25.519 I used to enjoy. 00:13:25.519 --> 00:13:26.440 Going fishing. 00:13:26.860 --> 00:13:27.539 On the rocks. 00:13:27.659 --> 00:13:28.220 Sea fishing. 00:13:28.580 --> 00:13:29.399 On the rocks. 00:13:30.220 --> 00:13:31.519 And there was one place. 00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:32.700 Just beside the beach. 00:13:32.799 --> 00:13:33.279 And Shabbos. 00:13:33.320 --> 00:13:34.460 When the tide was out. 00:13:34.519 --> 00:13:35.360 That you could walk. 00:13:35.379 --> 00:13:36.460 Across the rocks. 00:13:36.519 --> 00:13:37.259 And get to a. 00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:38.460 Higher point. 00:13:38.460 --> 00:13:39.720 And go across that. 00:13:40.100 --> 00:13:40.940 And then fish. 00:13:41.060 --> 00:13:41.920 On the other side. 00:13:42.019 --> 00:13:42.480 Of it. 00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:44.320 And so this one day. 00:13:44.420 --> 00:13:45.300 I had gone out. 00:13:46.160 --> 00:13:48.019 Obviously catching lots of fish. 00:13:48.040 --> 00:13:49.139 Because I'm a good fisherman. 00:13:49.820 --> 00:13:51.680 And I lost track. 00:13:51.680 --> 00:13:53.160 Of everything that was going on. 00:13:53.240 --> 00:13:53.860 Around me. 00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:55.440 I lost track. 00:13:55.440 --> 00:13:56.340 Of the fact that. 00:13:56.340 --> 00:13:57.340 The tide. 00:13:57.660 --> 00:13:58.480 Was coming in. 00:13:59.519 --> 00:14:00.340 I lost track. 00:14:00.379 --> 00:14:00.940 Of the fact. 00:14:01.100 --> 00:14:01.639 That the tide. 00:14:01.800 --> 00:14:02.519 Was coming round. 00:14:02.700 --> 00:14:03.720 The back of the rock. 00:14:03.840 --> 00:14:04.840 That I was fishing on. 00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:06.240 And that I was being. 00:14:06.480 --> 00:14:07.139 Cut off. 00:14:07.139 --> 00:14:08.299 That if. 00:14:08.419 --> 00:14:09.559 I didn't notice. 00:14:09.980 --> 00:14:10.340 Quickly. 00:14:10.860 --> 00:14:12.319 That I was going to be stuck. 00:14:12.439 --> 00:14:13.460 On the rock I was on. 00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:14.179 Until the tide. 00:14:14.279 --> 00:14:15.279 Would go back out. 00:14:15.340 --> 00:14:15.720 And so. 00:14:16.139 --> 00:14:17.379 Eventually when I looked round. 00:14:17.460 --> 00:14:18.899 And I thought the tide's coming in. 00:14:18.939 --> 00:14:19.659 I realized. 00:14:20.139 --> 00:14:21.679 That if I wasn't quick. 00:14:22.259 --> 00:14:23.439 That I would be stuck. 00:14:23.500 --> 00:14:24.139 Where I was. 00:14:24.199 --> 00:14:25.039 And stuck probably. 00:14:25.419 --> 00:14:26.539 For a couple of hours. 00:14:27.679 --> 00:14:28.100 Thankfully. 00:14:28.100 --> 00:14:29.340 I managed to get back. 00:14:29.600 --> 00:14:30.240 To the shore. 00:14:30.319 --> 00:14:31.299 Just before the tide. 00:14:31.379 --> 00:14:32.179 Had fully come in. 00:14:32.179 --> 00:14:32.679 But I think. 00:14:33.159 --> 00:14:33.699 My wellies. 00:14:33.699 --> 00:14:35.099 Did get a little bit wet. 00:14:36.099 --> 00:14:37.159 But it was that kind of. 00:14:37.399 --> 00:14:38.659 Dangerous situation. 00:14:38.659 --> 00:14:39.299 Where you're just. 00:14:39.459 --> 00:14:40.339 Carrying on as if. 00:14:40.539 --> 00:14:41.219 Everything's fine. 00:14:41.319 --> 00:14:42.179 Everything's normal. 00:14:42.639 --> 00:14:43.620 And you're not aware. 00:14:43.620 --> 00:14:44.620 Of the danger. 00:14:45.159 --> 00:14:46.120 That you're in. 00:14:46.199 --> 00:14:47.120 And it can happen. 00:14:47.579 --> 00:14:49.719 In so many different ways. 00:14:50.019 --> 00:14:50.779 It can happen. 00:14:51.299 --> 00:14:52.199 Day after day. 00:14:52.299 --> 00:14:53.019 With some of us. 00:14:53.079 --> 00:14:53.979 And we just forget. 00:14:54.099 --> 00:14:55.039 Or don't realize. 00:14:55.399 --> 00:14:56.120 Where we are. 00:14:56.159 --> 00:14:57.120 And what's going on. 00:14:57.519 --> 00:14:58.459 Around us. 00:14:58.460 --> 00:15:00.379 So to be blind. 00:15:00.379 --> 00:15:01.560 In these situations. 00:15:02.259 --> 00:15:03.240 Is to be blind. 00:15:03.240 --> 00:15:04.300 To the trouble. 00:15:04.820 --> 00:15:06.040 That we are in. 00:15:06.820 --> 00:15:07.820 And here we see. 00:15:08.060 --> 00:15:08.980 This man. 00:15:09.340 --> 00:15:10.180 Who's described. 00:15:10.180 --> 00:15:11.200 As a criminal. 00:15:12.120 --> 00:15:13.400 And we are told. 00:15:13.400 --> 00:15:14.720 That he was. 00:15:15.320 --> 00:15:16.820 There beside Jesus. 00:15:17.840 --> 00:15:18.480 That he was going. 00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:19.500 To die there. 00:15:20.280 --> 00:15:20.700 And yet. 00:15:20.800 --> 00:15:22.040 Even in his pain. 00:15:22.160 --> 00:15:22.980 He's blind. 00:15:23.420 --> 00:15:24.340 To the person. 00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:25.460 Who's beside him. 00:15:25.820 --> 00:15:27.200 Because what you see. 00:15:27.200 --> 00:15:28.100 With this man. 00:15:28.100 --> 00:15:29.800 Is he is mocking. 00:15:30.399 --> 00:15:30.779 Jesus. 00:15:31.920 --> 00:15:33.060 He is making fun. 00:15:33.500 --> 00:15:34.279 Of Jesus. 00:15:34.580 --> 00:15:35.159 You see that. 00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:36.000 In verse 39. 00:15:36.180 --> 00:15:37.040 Where it says. 00:15:37.620 --> 00:15:38.420 Are you not. 00:15:38.540 --> 00:15:39.200 The Christ. 00:15:39.460 --> 00:15:40.399 Save yourself. 00:15:40.879 --> 00:15:41.659 And us. 00:15:43.259 --> 00:15:44.580 He is questioning. 00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:47.399 Who Jesus is. 00:15:47.960 --> 00:15:49.159 He doesn't realize. 00:15:49.159 --> 00:15:50.100 The power. 00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:51.139 That he has. 00:15:51.659 --> 00:15:52.639 Can you imagine. 00:15:53.360 --> 00:15:54.220 In school. 00:15:54.540 --> 00:15:55.420 Seeing a door. 00:15:55.540 --> 00:15:56.019 In the school. 00:15:56.180 --> 00:15:56.639 That says. 00:15:57.019 --> 00:15:57.980 Headmaster on it. 00:15:58.100 --> 00:16:00.259 Or headmistress on it. 00:16:01.220 --> 00:16:02.700 And you go into that. 00:16:02.920 --> 00:16:03.580 That room. 00:16:03.659 --> 00:16:04.440 That office. 00:16:04.879 --> 00:16:05.600 And you would say. 00:16:05.700 --> 00:16:06.259 To the teacher. 00:16:06.700 --> 00:16:08.120 Are you really the teacher. 00:16:08.920 --> 00:16:09.940 I don't believe. 00:16:09.940 --> 00:16:10.580 That you are. 00:16:11.019 --> 00:16:11.940 And I want you. 00:16:12.060 --> 00:16:13.120 To do something for me. 00:16:13.180 --> 00:16:14.200 I want you to let me. 00:16:14.300 --> 00:16:15.800 Just go on holiday. 00:16:15.980 --> 00:16:16.360 Early. 00:16:16.620 --> 00:16:17.639 And come back. 00:16:17.700 --> 00:16:18.720 A lot later. 00:16:19.460 --> 00:16:20.659 You don't realize. 00:16:20.879 --> 00:16:21.540 Who it is. 00:16:21.580 --> 00:16:22.399 You're not believing. 00:16:22.800 --> 00:16:23.519 Who it is. 00:16:23.580 --> 00:16:24.160 Can you imagine. 00:16:24.160 --> 00:16:25.040 Doing that in school. 00:16:25.080 --> 00:16:26.019 Or even at work. 00:16:26.460 --> 00:16:27.519 Going to your boss. 00:16:27.620 --> 00:16:27.879 And saying. 00:16:27.960 --> 00:16:29.059 Are you really the boss. 00:16:29.059 --> 00:16:29.759 Of this place. 00:16:29.799 --> 00:16:31.159 I think I'm the boss. 00:16:31.579 --> 00:16:32.939 So I'm going to decide. 00:16:32.939 --> 00:16:34.299 When I take my holidays. 00:16:34.659 --> 00:16:36.000 Or what time I come in. 00:16:36.059 --> 00:16:37.120 Or what I do. 00:16:37.699 --> 00:16:38.039 Well. 00:16:38.199 --> 00:16:39.319 You wouldn't be there. 00:16:39.679 --> 00:16:40.460 Very long. 00:16:41.179 --> 00:16:42.659 But that's the kind of attitude. 00:16:42.659 --> 00:16:43.519 That this man. 00:16:43.679 --> 00:16:44.259 This criminal. 00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:45.879 Has towards Jesus. 00:16:46.259 --> 00:16:48.039 In the way that he's speaking to him. 00:16:48.419 --> 00:16:49.960 Are you not the Christ. 00:16:51.199 --> 00:16:52.379 Save yourself. 00:16:52.379 --> 00:16:54.059 And us. 00:16:54.700 --> 00:16:56.200 He wants Jesus. 00:16:56.200 --> 00:16:57.320 To do things. 00:16:57.779 --> 00:16:58.559 His way. 00:16:59.480 --> 00:17:01.220 And in his time. 00:17:01.820 --> 00:17:02.220 Not. 00:17:03.279 --> 00:17:03.799 Recognizing. 00:17:04.059 --> 00:17:04.819 Who it is. 00:17:04.980 --> 00:17:06.380 That's beside him. 00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:07.859 Now. 00:17:08.059 --> 00:17:09.960 Imagine if that was you there. 00:17:10.059 --> 00:17:11.720 And Jesus was beside you. 00:17:12.359 --> 00:17:14.279 What would you have said to him? 00:17:15.099 --> 00:17:17.160 What would you have asked of him? 00:17:17.599 --> 00:17:18.940 What would you have shouted. 00:17:19.319 --> 00:17:20.400 Towards him? 00:17:20.400 --> 00:17:23.680 We see two very different responses. 00:17:23.680 --> 00:17:24.820 Between this man. 00:17:25.180 --> 00:17:26.360 And the second criminal. 00:17:26.360 --> 00:17:28.240 Which we'll see in a few moments. 00:17:28.920 --> 00:17:30.080 But this first one. 00:17:30.180 --> 00:17:31.680 Is really just making a joke. 00:17:31.900 --> 00:17:32.740 Of Jesus. 00:17:33.600 --> 00:17:34.940 Because he's blind. 00:17:35.420 --> 00:17:37.360 To who he really is. 00:17:38.040 --> 00:17:39.420 And the way this man. 00:17:40.420 --> 00:17:40.940 Speaks. 00:17:41.060 --> 00:17:42.500 And the way he's behaving. 00:17:42.900 --> 00:17:44.680 Here as he knows where he is. 00:17:44.720 --> 00:17:45.660 He knows the danger. 00:17:46.080 --> 00:17:47.480 Of the situation he's in. 00:17:47.560 --> 00:17:47.920 And yet he's. 00:17:48.220 --> 00:17:49.380 He doesn't see that Jesus. 00:17:49.380 --> 00:17:50.680 Is able to help. 00:17:51.820 --> 00:17:52.800 Well it reminds us. 00:17:52.800 --> 00:17:53.660 Of how often. 00:17:54.300 --> 00:17:56.140 We are like that ourselves. 00:17:56.920 --> 00:17:57.660 And especially. 00:17:57.840 --> 00:17:59.260 Maybe when we think of times. 00:17:59.260 --> 00:18:00.180 Like Easter. 00:18:00.180 --> 00:18:01.160 And Christmas. 00:18:01.340 --> 00:18:02.020 And these kinds. 00:18:02.360 --> 00:18:03.240 Of occasions. 00:18:03.240 --> 00:18:03.860 Where we. 00:18:03.940 --> 00:18:06.360 We focus on the wrong things. 00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:08.280 I mean. 00:18:08.320 --> 00:18:09.080 As soon as I. 00:18:09.940 --> 00:18:11.240 Lift up this. 00:18:12.080 --> 00:18:13.060 Your eyes. 00:18:13.300 --> 00:18:14.960 Are drawn towards it. 00:18:14.960 --> 00:18:15.360 Aren't they? 00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:17.460 You start thinking about this. 00:18:17.460 --> 00:18:19.180 But that's. 00:18:19.840 --> 00:18:21.940 Not the most important thing. 00:18:22.660 --> 00:18:25.120 As far from the most important thing. 00:18:25.740 --> 00:18:26.380 Holidays. 00:18:26.819 --> 00:18:28.519 Are not the most important thing. 00:18:28.539 --> 00:18:29.360 About Easter. 00:18:29.539 --> 00:18:29.880 Food. 00:18:30.279 --> 00:18:32.220 Is not the most important thing. 00:18:32.279 --> 00:18:32.900 About Easter. 00:18:33.400 --> 00:18:34.000 Lambs. 00:18:34.059 --> 00:18:35.519 Are not the most important thing. 00:18:35.600 --> 00:18:36.259 About Easter. 00:18:37.340 --> 00:18:39.720 Remembering that the clocks changed last night. 00:18:39.779 --> 00:18:41.420 Is not the most important thing. 00:18:41.700 --> 00:18:43.059 About coming to hear. 00:18:43.480 --> 00:18:44.279 This message. 00:18:44.279 --> 00:18:45.539 The most important thing. 00:18:45.539 --> 00:18:47.779 Is the story that we share. 00:18:48.299 --> 00:18:49.599 About the person. 00:18:49.839 --> 00:18:52.019 Who was there beside this criminal. 00:18:53.099 --> 00:18:54.000 So this criminal. 00:18:54.319 --> 00:18:55.779 He was blind. 00:18:56.440 --> 00:18:57.839 And he was mocking. 00:18:58.420 --> 00:18:58.819 Jesus. 00:18:59.859 --> 00:19:01.099 And that's the danger. 00:19:01.220 --> 00:19:02.220 That we have ourselves. 00:19:02.359 --> 00:19:02.599 Do you. 00:19:02.700 --> 00:19:04.220 Do you make a joke of Jesus. 00:19:04.220 --> 00:19:05.099 At times. 00:19:05.559 --> 00:19:06.399 Do you make fun. 00:19:06.740 --> 00:19:07.399 Of Jesus. 00:19:07.519 --> 00:19:09.160 Or do you hear it around us. 00:19:09.220 --> 00:19:10.379 We hear it more and more. 00:19:10.380 --> 00:19:11.120 These days. 00:19:11.560 --> 00:19:12.240 Where Jesus. 00:19:12.240 --> 00:19:13.220 Is just. 00:19:13.220 --> 00:19:14.280 A joke. 00:19:14.800 --> 00:19:15.820 That he wasn't. 00:19:16.440 --> 00:19:16.800 Real. 00:19:16.940 --> 00:19:17.760 That this wasn't. 00:19:18.080 --> 00:19:18.780 The reality. 00:19:18.780 --> 00:19:19.700 Of life. 00:19:20.820 --> 00:19:22.060 People deny him. 00:19:22.540 --> 00:19:23.260 There's others. 00:19:23.520 --> 00:19:24.700 Who use his name. 00:19:24.960 --> 00:19:26.100 In a bad way. 00:19:27.860 --> 00:19:29.280 And it's so easy. 00:19:29.280 --> 00:19:30.420 To get caught up. 00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:31.240 In these ways. 00:19:31.560 --> 00:19:32.820 And that's what this criminal. 00:19:32.820 --> 00:19:33.900 Was like as well. 00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:35.200 He just got caught up. 00:19:35.420 --> 00:19:37.320 In the ways of everybody else. 00:19:37.420 --> 00:19:38.140 Around him. 00:19:38.140 --> 00:19:39.740 And he never realized. 00:19:39.740 --> 00:19:41.900 Who Jesus was. 00:19:43.240 --> 00:19:44.319 He didn't realize. 00:19:44.599 --> 00:19:45.200 The danger. 00:19:45.680 --> 00:19:46.759 He was in. 00:19:47.740 --> 00:19:48.720 And that's what we all. 00:19:48.819 --> 00:19:50.259 Need to realize today. 00:19:50.920 -->

00:21:58.859 --> 00:21:58.859 00:21:58.859 --> 00:21:58.859 00:21:58.859 --> 00:21:58.859 00:21:58.859 --> 00:21:58.859 00:21:58.859 --> 00:21:58.859 00:21:58.859 --> 00:21:58.859 00:21:58.859 --> 00:21:58.859 00:21:58.859 --> 00:21:58.859 00:21:58.859 --> 00:21:58.859 00:21:58.859 --> 00:21:58.859 00:21:58.859 --> 00:21:58.859 00:21:58.859 --> 00:21:58.859 00:21:58.859 --> 00:21:58.859 00:21:58.859 --> 00:21:58.859 00:21:58.859 --> 00:21:58.859 00:21:58.859 --> 00:21:58.859 00:21:58.859 --> 00:21:58.859 00:21:58.859 --> 00:21:58.859 00:21:58.859 --> 00:21:58.859 00:21:58.859 --> 00:21:58.859 00:21:58.859 --> 00:21:58.859 00:21:58.859 --> 00:22:17.459 Proclaiming loud your praise, your glory felt your dwelling place. 00:22:17.459 --> 00:22:24.799 I love you as always. 00:22:24.799 --> 00:22:44.299 Sweep not away, my soul, O Lord, with those who hate your way. 00:22:44.299 --> 00:23:02.299 Nor take away my life with those who love to own and stay. 00:23:02.299 --> 00:23:12.299 For their right hands are full of crimes. 00:23:12.299 --> 00:23:30.299 They plot iniquity, but I will lead a painless life. 00:23:30.299 --> 00:23:38.299 In mercy set me free. 00:23:38.299 --> 00:23:58.259 My feet will stand with confidence upon a level place. 00:23:58.259 --> 00:24:16.700 And in the people's gathering, I'll praise the Lord of grace. 00:24:16.700 --> 00:24:26.000 So we come now to see the second cross. 00:24:26.700 --> 00:24:29.380 And here we see the second criminal. 00:24:29.580 --> 00:24:33.700 We're going to read there at verse 40 to verse 42. 00:24:35.700 --> 00:24:37.740 So this is the other criminal. 00:24:37.740 --> 00:24:40.000 But the other rebuked him, saying, 00:24:40.500 --> 00:24:45.599 Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? 00:24:45.700 --> 00:24:50.319 And we indeed justly, for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds. 00:24:50.880 --> 00:24:52.920 But this man has done nothing wrong. 00:24:53.599 --> 00:24:59.240 And he said, Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom. 00:24:59.240 --> 00:25:09.160 Well, this second criminal, first of all, we see that he was the same as the first. 00:25:10.000 --> 00:25:13.660 Because he had done something wrong. 00:25:14.220 --> 00:25:16.759 He had done something wrong. 00:25:18.200 --> 00:25:20.480 But how do we see that he was different? 00:25:21.539 --> 00:25:24.799 How do we see that he was different to that first criminal? 00:25:25.359 --> 00:25:28.299 Well, it's because he was seeing things differently. 00:25:28.299 --> 00:25:32.240 And there's three ways that we see that he was seeing things differently. 00:25:32.319 --> 00:25:36.059 And these are what made all the difference in the end. 00:25:37.119 --> 00:25:41.240 First of all, he sees that he had done wrong. 00:25:42.099 --> 00:25:44.599 He sees that he had done wrong. 00:25:45.659 --> 00:25:47.839 He sees his life. 00:25:47.980 --> 00:25:50.659 He sees the wrongs that he has done. 00:25:50.960 --> 00:25:52.639 You see that in verse 41. 00:25:53.359 --> 00:25:53.859 It says, 00:25:53.859 --> 00:25:57.779 We indeed justly, for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds. 00:25:58.299 --> 00:26:03.379 So he's saying, yes, we deserve this because we have done wrong. 00:26:04.579 --> 00:26:06.980 Have you ever done something wrong? 00:26:08.579 --> 00:26:11.319 Have you ever done something that you weren't supposed to? 00:26:11.339 --> 00:26:13.659 You were told not to do it. 00:26:14.680 --> 00:26:16.119 I'm sure we've all done that. 00:26:16.200 --> 00:26:20.639 We all do it every day of life in some way or other. 00:26:20.640 --> 00:26:24.840 And that's the reality of where we are as well. 00:26:24.960 --> 00:26:30.640 Just like this criminal, we can all say we justly have done things wrong. 00:26:30.740 --> 00:26:37.060 We are justly receiving that we are due because we have done the wrong thing. 00:26:37.059 --> 00:26:44.019 And there's no point in any of us trying to come to Jesus and hide these things that we've done wrong. 00:26:44.480 --> 00:26:46.859 That's what we do so often in our lives. 00:26:46.919 --> 00:26:50.779 When we've done something wrong, we try and hide it. 00:26:51.500 --> 00:26:55.179 We try and maybe keep it from people knowing about it. 00:26:55.220 --> 00:26:58.159 And we try and hide it or fix it ourselves. 00:26:58.160 --> 00:27:06.600 But that's not going to work because Jesus already knows that we have done the wrong thing. 00:27:07.040 --> 00:27:10.500 Jesus already knows everything that we have done wrong. 00:27:10.620 --> 00:27:12.980 And so this criminal is saying that. 00:27:13.640 --> 00:27:15.240 He is saying, we have done wrong. 00:27:15.320 --> 00:27:17.480 I have done wrong. 00:27:17.480 --> 00:27:23.740 But then he also recognizes the situation that he's in. 00:27:24.680 --> 00:27:26.519 He realizes he's done wrong. 00:27:27.019 --> 00:27:32.599 But he also realizes that he is guilty before others. 00:27:34.339 --> 00:27:39.200 Before the rulers of the day, the polices we would call them today. 00:27:39.680 --> 00:27:42.400 He knows that he's done wrong before them. 00:27:42.400 --> 00:27:48.160 But more importantly, he realizes that he's done wrong before God. 00:27:49.259 --> 00:27:51.720 He's done wrong before God. 00:27:52.000 --> 00:27:54.100 Look at what he says in verse 40. 00:27:54.740 --> 00:28:00.540 Do you not fear God since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? 00:28:01.460 --> 00:28:03.000 It's a big word, condemnation. 00:28:03.100 --> 00:28:06.540 But it really means that he is lost. 00:28:06.759 --> 00:28:09.700 He realizes that he is lost before God. 00:28:09.700 --> 00:28:12.779 That there is nothing that he could do. 00:28:13.340 --> 00:28:18.319 You don't see him here saying, I'm going to quickly change myself. 00:28:19.200 --> 00:28:22.519 I'm going to quickly make myself right. 00:28:24.019 --> 00:28:26.259 He knows he cannot do it. 00:28:26.600 --> 00:28:29.019 But there's times, and I'm sure you have felt like this. 00:28:29.080 --> 00:28:30.480 Maybe you have feeling like this. 00:28:30.920 --> 00:28:33.880 Well, I'm going to sort my own life out. 00:28:33.920 --> 00:28:38.559 I'm going to fix all these things that I've done wrong in my life. 00:28:38.559 --> 00:28:40.599 But you can't. 00:28:41.799 --> 00:28:45.579 And this man recognized that he couldn't either. 00:28:46.779 --> 00:28:50.960 And so we think of a word that's called repentance. 00:28:52.579 --> 00:28:57.639 And again, it's a word that we have to realize that it's about when we do something wrong, 00:28:58.179 --> 00:29:02.819 and what you see this criminal has done wrong, it kind of stops him in the direction he's going. 00:29:02.819 --> 00:29:04.539 It stops him. 00:29:05.179 --> 00:29:08.919 But repentance is more than just stopping what you're doing wrong. 00:29:09.559 --> 00:29:13.379 Repentance means turning around and going in a different direction. 00:29:14.720 --> 00:29:18.460 And that's the third thing that we see about this criminal. 00:29:19.519 --> 00:29:21.639 He recognized he'd done wrong. 00:29:22.119 --> 00:29:23.819 He recognized that he was lost. 00:29:23.819 --> 00:29:31.759 But the difference between him and the first criminal is he recognizes who it is that is beside him. 00:29:32.740 --> 00:29:38.359 That Jesus is beside him, and that Jesus is able to help him. 00:29:39.519 --> 00:29:40.639 And that's the difference. 00:29:40.700 --> 00:29:43.279 He turned towards Jesus. 00:29:43.279 --> 00:29:49.399 And very often that's what's lacking in our experience as well, in our lives as well. 00:29:49.500 --> 00:29:51.920 We know that we've done wrong. 00:29:53.519 --> 00:29:58.539 But we try to just bring Jesus into the mix in our own way and say, 00:29:58.759 --> 00:30:01.740 well, I'll sort it out and then I'll be right with Jesus. 00:30:01.940 --> 00:30:03.799 But that's not what it's about. 00:30:03.799 --> 00:30:08.940 It's about recognizing that only Jesus can make things right for us. 00:30:10.379 --> 00:30:13.259 And so we are to turn towards him. 00:30:13.399 --> 00:30:17.759 And you see that in the way that he cries out in verse 42. 00:30:18.639 --> 00:30:24.799 And he said, Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom. 00:30:24.799 --> 00:30:35.960 And the psalm that we just sang, Psalm 26, it really is a psalm that reminds us of how the Lord sets us free. 00:30:36.740 --> 00:30:38.799 It says in verse 10, 00:30:39.039 --> 00:30:44.619 For their right hands are full of bribes, they plot iniquity, those who are doing wrong. 00:30:44.700 --> 00:30:47.000 But then it says, but I will lead a blameless life. 00:30:47.559 --> 00:30:50.819 In mercy set me free, the psalmist says. 00:30:50.879 --> 00:30:53.379 And that's the cry of this criminal. 00:30:53.380 --> 00:30:55.480 In mercy set me free. 00:30:56.380 --> 00:30:58.480 It doesn't say in mercy I'll free myself. 00:30:59.080 --> 00:31:00.880 But in mercy set me free. 00:31:01.580 --> 00:31:03.960 And that's what this criminal is looking for. 00:31:04.060 --> 00:31:09.640 The mercy, the grace of the Lord Jesus that will set him free. 00:31:09.720 --> 00:31:13.160 And that is what his cry is all about here. 00:31:13.900 --> 00:31:18.820 Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom. 00:31:18.819 --> 00:31:23.599 You wonder what both these criminals had heard about Jesus. 00:31:24.000 --> 00:31:25.839 Because they had heard about him. 00:31:26.619 --> 00:31:29.539 The first one said, are you not the Christ? 00:31:29.639 --> 00:31:31.279 He was making a joke about it. 00:31:31.619 --> 00:31:35.000 But the second one is saying, Jesus, remember me. 00:31:35.799 --> 00:31:38.019 So they knew about Jesus. 00:31:38.599 --> 00:31:45.299 They would have heard, whether it was among other prisoners or around the crowds that were gathered at the time. 00:31:45.299 --> 00:31:47.839 They had heard about Jesus. 00:31:48.359 --> 00:31:51.099 But they didn't recognize him in the same way. 00:31:51.740 --> 00:31:53.419 One made a laugh and a joke. 00:31:54.159 --> 00:31:57.279 But the other one, as we see here, is more bold. 00:31:57.379 --> 00:31:58.399 He's a bold sinner. 00:31:58.480 --> 00:32:00.220 He knows where to go. 00:32:00.319 --> 00:32:06.139 And he shouts on Jesus, Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom. 00:32:06.140 --> 00:32:10.640 And it's a great place to arrive at that. 00:32:11.240 --> 00:32:15.240 To recognize that we cannot help ourselves. 00:32:16.060 --> 00:32:21.720 But that all that we can do is cry out, Jesus, remember me. 00:32:22.740 --> 00:32:25.200 Jesus, remember me. 00:32:26.240 --> 00:32:29.480 He believed in Jesus at this point. 00:32:29.920 --> 00:32:31.340 He looked to Jesus. 00:32:32.420 --> 00:32:36.020 And today, every one of us can do that as well. 00:32:36.759 --> 00:32:41.820 You can look to Jesus and there you see the one who is able to remember you. 00:32:42.560 --> 00:32:43.800 And to help you. 00:32:44.420 --> 00:32:47.800 We have all done the wrong things in life. 00:32:47.920 --> 00:32:50.540 We have all not listened to God's word. 00:32:50.640 --> 00:32:54.960 We have all turned away from the Bible, from Jesus, from God. 00:32:55.340 --> 00:32:56.740 Done our own things. 00:32:57.780 --> 00:33:03.020 But when we recognize that we have done wrong, that is where we come to that point of repentance. 00:33:03.019 --> 00:33:05.539 And that means turning. 00:33:05.639 --> 00:33:08.579 Not just stopping what we're doing, but turning. 00:33:09.480 --> 00:33:11.859 And turning towards Jesus. 00:33:12.539 --> 00:33:14.220 That's what this criminal did. 00:33:14.279 --> 00:33:17.079 He turned and cried out to Jesus. 00:33:17.299 --> 00:33:22.240 Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom. 00:33:22.240 --> 00:33:25.460 So there we see the second criminal. 00:33:25.579 --> 00:33:26.799 The second cross. 00:33:27.400 --> 00:33:28.599 A bold sinner. 00:33:29.259 --> 00:33:32.200 One who cries out to Jesus. 00:33:32.200 --> 00:33:35.140 And that is what we are to do. 00:33:35.660 --> 00:33:38.319 And to find our hope there as well. 00:33:38.380 --> 00:33:41.580 And that then leads us to the third cross. 00:33:42.720 --> 00:33:46.819 And on the third cross, we see the blessed Savior. 00:33:46.819 --> 00:33:48.799 We see this. 00:33:48.859 --> 00:33:51.599 I want to read just two verses to highlight this for us. 00:33:51.819 --> 00:33:54.319 First, verse 34. 00:33:55.939 --> 00:33:58.319 As they were put on the cross. 00:33:58.960 --> 00:34:04.740 In verse 34, Jesus said here, speaking to those soldiers who were around him. 00:34:05.159 --> 00:34:06.659 Father, forgive them. 00:34:07.099 --> 00:34:09.199 For they know not what they do. 00:34:09.900 --> 00:34:11.779 And then in verse 43. 00:34:12.400 --> 00:34:15.139 His reply to that criminal who had cried out. 00:34:15.139 --> 00:34:16.460 Jesus, remember me. 00:34:16.920 --> 00:34:23.019 He said to him, truly I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise. 00:34:24.699 --> 00:34:28.219 So there were these two crosses with the criminals. 00:34:29.819 --> 00:34:31.319 They had done wrong. 00:34:32.119 --> 00:34:35.059 But in the middle was a third cross. 00:34:35.779 --> 00:34:38.859 And here was one who was completely innocent. 00:34:39.059 --> 00:34:40.440 He had done nothing wrong. 00:34:41.400 --> 00:34:44.960 And yet willingly gave his life. 00:34:45.139 --> 00:34:52.980 Alistair Begg has a clip about, a short clip from a sermon he preached about the man in the middle. 00:34:53.279 --> 00:34:55.500 He's talking about the three crosses. 00:34:55.920 --> 00:34:59.960 And relating it especially to the second criminal that we looked at who says, 00:35:00.079 --> 00:35:03.920 Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom. 00:35:03.920 --> 00:35:10.079 And it was how that middle man said he could come. 00:35:10.139 --> 00:35:12.619 It's worth watching if you haven't seen it before. 00:35:13.220 --> 00:35:16.200 The middle man said, I could come. 00:35:17.340 --> 00:35:19.900 And that's what we see here as we look to the third cross. 00:35:20.000 --> 00:35:23.639 Here was Jesus, the one in the middle of the two criminals. 00:35:23.639 --> 00:35:27.699 And it is he who makes all the difference. 00:35:28.219 --> 00:35:30.920 The second criminal saw what he deserved. 00:35:31.480 --> 00:35:33.139 That he had done wrong. 00:35:33.920 --> 00:35:35.559 And he looked at Jesus. 00:35:35.920 --> 00:35:38.699 And he saw him as one who didn't deserve it. 00:35:39.400 --> 00:35:42.699 And yet he saw why he was doing it. 00:35:42.699 --> 00:35:46.779 He was doing it by mercy and by grace. 00:35:47.339 --> 00:35:51.039 That he and others who believe in him might be saved. 00:35:51.119 --> 00:35:54.679 That's why he says, remember me when you come into your kingdom. 00:35:55.960 --> 00:35:57.339 And look at the reply of Jesus. 00:35:57.559 --> 00:36:01.480 Truly I say to you today, you will be with me in paradise. 00:36:01.480 --> 00:36:05.780 The love of Jesus there. 00:36:06.320 --> 00:36:09.199 Reminding us of his love for us today. 00:36:09.679 --> 00:36:11.940 What he was doing for us. 00:36:12.679 --> 00:36:16.039 That him, man of sorrows, speaks of it. 00:36:16.159 --> 00:36:18.179 Bearing shame and scoffing rude. 00:36:18.260 --> 00:36:20.400 In my place condemned he stood. 00:36:20.599 --> 00:36:22.960 Sealed my pardon with his blood. 00:36:23.079 --> 00:36:24.740 Hallelujah, what a savior. 00:36:25.420 --> 00:36:27.579 Guilty, helpless, lost were we. 00:36:28.139 --> 00:36:30.320 Blameless lamb of God was he. 00:36:30.320 --> 00:36:32.840 He sacrificed to set us free. 00:36:32.940 --> 00:36:35.120 Hallelujah, what a savior. 00:36:35.840 --> 00:36:38.559 And that's who we see on the third cross. 00:36:38.620 --> 00:36:39.539 On the middle cross. 00:36:39.640 --> 00:36:41.019 It is the savior. 00:36:41.420 --> 00:36:45.300 And hallelujah, what a savior we have in him. 00:36:46.080 --> 00:36:48.320 The first thief mocked him. 00:36:48.880 --> 00:36:51.100 And Jesus didn't reply to him. 00:36:51.160 --> 00:36:53.980 But the other thief, as he cried out, 00:36:54.500 --> 00:36:56.160 Jesus, remember me. 00:36:56.160 --> 00:36:59.480 Well, Jesus replied to him. 00:37:00.320 --> 00:37:02.100 And it's a beautiful reply. 00:37:03.100 --> 00:37:06.640 And as we think of our lives today, as you think of your life today, 00:37:07.200 --> 00:37:08.840 how are you looking at Jesus? 00:37:09.180 --> 00:37:11.240 How are you turning to Jesus? 00:37:12.820 --> 00:37:14.220 Are you like the first one? 00:37:15.019 --> 00:37:16.760 He was just mocking him. 00:37:16.760 --> 00:37:20.120 Or are you crying like the second one? 00:37:20.920 --> 00:37:22.920 Jesus, remember me. 00:37:24.440 --> 00:37:28.480 Because Jesus only replies to that second cry. 00:37:29.860 --> 00:37:33.780 He only replies to that criminal who cries out looking for mercy. 00:37:34.780 --> 00:37:38.860 And if you cry out looking for mercy, he will turn to you as well. 00:37:38.860 --> 00:37:43.760 We can find that hope in him. 00:37:43.840 --> 00:37:48.599 This situation, it seemed hopeless in many ways. 00:37:48.880 --> 00:37:53.200 Even as they looked at Jesus, maybe they wondered, what can he do for us now? 00:37:54.039 --> 00:37:56.559 And we know that many people turned away. 00:37:56.640 --> 00:37:59.420 His own disciples turned away at this time. 00:37:59.420 --> 00:38:04.260 But we have to come and see what he has done. 00:38:05.260 --> 00:38:08.420 And so this criminal who cried out, remember me. 00:38:09.139 --> 00:38:11.860 He found that hope in Jesus. 00:38:12.700 --> 00:38:15.840 And that's the hope that we can find today. 00:38:16.820 --> 00:38:20.900 Many will be busy with lambing over these coming weeks. 00:38:20.900 --> 00:38:28.539 I want to share with you a little story about a shepherd who was going through that time of lambing. 00:38:29.300 --> 00:38:32.000 And he was a very attentive shepherd. 00:38:32.460 --> 00:38:33.800 He knew his sheep well. 00:38:34.760 --> 00:38:41.099 And as he was going out this day to check on his sheep, he saw one of his sheep that had lambed. 00:38:41.500 --> 00:38:44.500 But there was no sign of the lambs. 00:38:45.039 --> 00:38:47.360 The lambs weren't there with its mother. 00:38:47.360 --> 00:38:50.700 And he knew that this sheep was due to have twins. 00:38:52.320 --> 00:38:57.160 And so he went around and started looking for the lambs that she had had. 00:38:57.220 --> 00:39:00.740 And eventually he came across the two lambs. 00:39:01.460 --> 00:39:05.000 But he found them in a ditch full of water. 00:39:06.079 --> 00:39:08.880 And the poor lambs, all that was above the water was their heads. 00:39:08.980 --> 00:39:11.079 The rest of their body was underwater. 00:39:11.400 --> 00:39:14.320 And he thought, immediately he thought the lambs had died. 00:39:14.320 --> 00:39:17.400 But then he saw one of them move. 00:39:18.519 --> 00:39:24.220 And so he reached down and took the two of them out of the water and realized they were both still alive. 00:39:24.760 --> 00:39:29.600 And he took them home, dried them off, warmed them up and fed them. 00:39:30.180 --> 00:39:31.600 And they survived. 00:39:32.760 --> 00:39:33.680 They survived. 00:39:35.460 --> 00:39:39.500 They survived because the shepherd knew his sheep. 00:39:39.500 --> 00:39:43.539 And he went looking for the lambs that were lost. 00:39:44.860 --> 00:39:49.619 And it's just a great reminder to us of what Jesus has come to do for us. 00:39:49.860 --> 00:39:53.179 The reason why he was there on the middle cross. 00:39:53.300 --> 00:39:55.699 He was there as a saviour. 00:39:57.019 --> 00:39:59.940 And he could look on us and think, they're gone. 00:40:00.980 --> 00:40:02.119 They're past it. 00:40:02.900 --> 00:40:04.139 They cannot be saved. 00:40:04.280 --> 00:40:05.099 But he doesn't. 00:40:06.340 --> 00:40:08.380 Instead he looks on us in love. 00:40:08.380 --> 00:40:13.220 And he looks on us, inviting us to himself. 00:40:14.079 --> 00:40:14.980 To his kingdom. 00:40:15.700 --> 00:40:17.500 To all that he offers us. 00:40:18.860 --> 00:40:22.440 And so here we are reminded of the Easter story. 00:40:23.519 --> 00:40:28.280 We are reminded of how important it is to listen to what Jesus has done. 00:40:28.900 --> 00:40:31.720 That we might find life in him. 00:40:31.719 --> 00:40:37.079 One writer looked on this passage and the three crosses and said, 00:40:37.699 --> 00:40:39.859 One man died in sin. 00:40:40.719 --> 00:40:44.819 That was the first thief who didn't acknowledge Jesus. 00:40:44.939 --> 00:40:45.939 He died in sin. 00:40:46.839 --> 00:40:50.339 He said then the second one, one man died to sin. 00:40:51.339 --> 00:40:54.319 Which means that he turned to Jesus. 00:40:54.879 --> 00:40:59.079 Turned away from sin and turned to Jesus. 00:40:59.199 --> 00:41:00.799 He died to sin. 00:41:00.800 --> 00:41:07.840 And then he said the third one, the third cross, one died for sin. 00:41:07.840 --> 00:41:10.559 And that's what Jesus did. 00:41:10.559 --> 00:41:12.500 He died for sin. 00:41:13.460 --> 00:41:16.079 So on these crosses, one man died in sin. 00:41:16.539 --> 00:41:18.900 One man died to sin. 00:41:19.480 --> 00:41:21.980 And one man died for sin. 00:41:23.160 --> 00:41:26.820 And we are to look to the one who died for sin. 00:41:27.300 --> 00:41:29.440 For your sin and for my sin. 00:41:29.440 --> 00:41:32.860 And that is the good news of Easter. 00:41:33.159 --> 00:41:36.659 That Jesus came to die for our sins. 00:41:36.820 --> 00:41:39.500 But he also rose from the grave. 00:41:40.059 --> 00:41:42.900 And we know that through that he is victorious. 00:41:43.840 --> 00:41:47.940 And that we can have that victory in him. 00:41:48.480 --> 00:41:50.260 So we look to the middle cross. 00:41:50.980 --> 00:41:51.960 To a saviour. 00:41:52.800 --> 00:41:54.940 And put our trust in him. 00:41:54.940 --> 00:41:56.139 Let us pray. 00:41:57.820 --> 00:41:59.360 Lord our gracious God. 00:41:59.440 --> 00:42:02.019 We do thank you for all your goodness to us. 00:42:02.059 --> 00:42:03.599 For the way you remember us. 00:42:03.980 --> 00:42:06.320 And help us so we might remember you. 00:42:06.800 --> 00:42:09.240 Remember you as in all that you have done. 00:42:09.860 --> 00:42:11.860 And that we might look to you and cry. 00:42:12.000 --> 00:42:13.780 Jesus remember me. 00:42:14.320 --> 00:42:15.179 In my need. 00:42:15.760 --> 00:42:16.619 In my sin. 00:42:16.980 --> 00:42:19.380 That we would find life in you. 00:42:19.380 --> 00:42:20.320 So hear us. 00:42:20.420 --> 00:42:21.320 Go before us. 00:42:21.480 --> 00:42:22.099 Pardon us. 00:42:22.619 --> 00:42:23.619 In Jesus name. 00:42:24.000 --> 00:42:24.400 Amen. 00:42:28.760 --> 00:42:33.680 We're going to conclude by singing to God's praise in Psalm 36. 00:42:34.800 --> 00:42:37.460 We'll sing from verse 7 to verse 10. 00:42:37.579 --> 00:42:39.599 Page 44 of the Psalm books. 00:42:42.840 --> 00:42:46.720 Psalm 36 at verse 7 to verse 10. 00:42:46.719 --> 00:42:50.379 How precious is your steadfast love. 00:42:50.500 --> 00:42:52.119 What confidence it brings. 00:42:52.539 --> 00:42:53.619 Both high and low. 00:42:53.719 --> 00:42:57.619 Find shelter in the shadow of your wings. 00:42:57.779 --> 00:42:59.379 So we can find that shelter. 00:42:59.579 --> 00:43:00.419 That refuge. 00:43:00.919 --> 00:43:02.799 As we look to the Lord Jesus. 00:43:03.079 --> 00:43:04.359 Verse 7 to 10. 00:43:04.739 --> 00:43:05.839 To God's praise. 00:43:05.840 --> 00:43:20.519 How precious is your steadfast love. 00:43:20.519 --> 00:43:28.400 What confidence it brings. 00:43:28.400 --> 00:43:29.400 To God's praise. 00:43:29.400 --> 00:43:29.400 00:43:29.400 --> 00:43:29.400 00:43:29.400 --> 00:43:29.400 00:43:29.400 --> 00:43:29.400 00:43:29.400 --> 00:43:29.400 00:43:29.400 --> 00:43:29.400 00:43:29.400 --> 00:43:29.400 00:43:29.400 --> 00:43:29.400 00:43:29.400 --> 00:43:29.400 00:43:29.400 --> 00:43:29.400 00:43:29.400 --> 00:43:29.400 00:43:29.400 --> 00:43:29.400 00:43:29.400 --> 00:43:29.400 00:43:29.400 --> 00:43:29.400 00:43:29.400 --> 00:43:29.400 00:43:29.400 --> 00:43:29.400 00:43:29.400 --> 00:43:29.400 00:43:29.400 --> 00:43:29.400 00:43:29.400 --> 00:43:29.400 00:43:29.400 --> 00:43:29.400 00:43:29.400 --> 00:43:29.400 00:43:29.400 --> 00:43:29.400 00:43:29.400 --> 00:43:29.400 00:43:29.400 --> 00:43:29.400 00:43:29.400 --> 00:43:29.400 00:43:29.400 --> 00:43:29.400 00:43:29.400 --> 00:43:29.400 00:43:29.400 --> 00:43:29.400 00:43:29.400 --> 00:43:29.400 00:43:29.400 --> 00:43:29.400 00:43:29.400 --> 00:43:45.760 Both high and low find shelter in the shadow of your wings. 00:43:45.760 --> 00:44:03.940 They feast within your house and wing, from sweet all your delight. 00:44:03.940 --> 00:44:21.940 For with you is the soul of life, in your light we delight. 00:44:21.940 --> 00:44:39.940 To those who know you as their God, your steadfast love impart. 00:44:39.940 --> 00:44:58.940 Maintain your righteousness to those of you and of right are. 00:45:00.079 --> 00:45:02.780 After the benediction, I'll go to the door to my left. 00:45:02.880 --> 00:45:04.619 We'll close with a benediction. 00:45:04.619 --> 00:45:14.319 Now may grace, mercy and peace from God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit rest upon and abide with you all now and forevermore. 00:45:14.759 --> 00:45:15.159 Amen. 00:45:34.619 --> 00:45:35.619 Amen.
