00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:25.280
 So a couple of things. First, if you're using the notes this morning, you'll notice they're

00:00:25.280 --> 00:00:29.980
! a little bit in the wrong order, but the page is numbered one, two, three, three, three, three,

00:00:29.980 --> 00:00:36.259
 four. So just follow page one to four, and then you'll be able to keep up and follow along.

00:00:38.219 --> 00:00:46.980
 Last week, we started into chapter 13, which is really the beginning of one whole section that

00:00:46.980 --> 00:00:57.420
 ends at the end of chapter 17, covers roughly 24 hours just before the arrest and crucifixion of

00:00:57.420 --> 00:01:05.500
 Jesus. And Jesus is spending time with his disciples, teaching them and preparing them for his going back

00:01:05.500 --> 00:01:15.079
 to be with the Father. And today, we're going to read from chapter 13, verse 18, down to verse 30.

00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:22.239
 John's Gospel, chapter 13, verse 18, down to verse 30.

00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:35.500
 Jesus is speaking. I am not referring to all of you. I know those I have chosen. But this is to

00:01:35.500 --> 00:01:45.819
 fulfill this passage of scripture. He who shared my bread has turned against me. I am telling you now

00:01:45.819 --> 00:01:55.619
 before it happens so that when it does happen, you will believe that I am who I am. Very truly, I tell you,

00:01:55.619 --> 00:02:05.099
 whoever accepts anyone I send accepts me. And whoever accepts me accepts the one who sent me.

00:02:05.099 --> 00:02:16.039
 After he said this, Jesus was troubled in spirit and testified, very truly, I tell you, one of you

00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:25.060
 is going to betray me. His disciples stared at one another at a loss to know which of them he meant.

00:02:26.180 --> 00:02:34.340
 One of them, the disciple whom Jesus loved, was reclining next to him. Simon Peter motioned to this

00:02:34.340 --> 00:02:44.460
 disciple and said, ask him which one he means. Leaning back against Jesus, he asked him, Lord, who is it?

00:02:45.900 --> 00:02:53.599
 Jesus answered, it is the one to whom I will give this piece of bread when I have dipped it in the dish.

00:02:54.620 --> 00:02:59.879
 Then dipping the piece of bread, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.

00:02:59.879 --> 00:03:11.159
 As soon as Judas took the bread, Satan entered into him. So Jesus told him, what you are about to do,

00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:21.099
 do quickly. But no one at the meal understood why Jesus said this to him. Since Judas had charge of

00:03:21.099 --> 00:03:27.159
 the money, some thought Jesus was telling him to buy what was needed for the festival or to give

00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:36.139
 something to the poor. As soon as Judas had taken the bread, he went out and it was night.

00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:45.219
 Well, let's keep our Bibles open there at that section and we'll pray and ask for the Lord's help.

00:03:45.219 --> 00:04:02.919
 Father, we are weak and we are helpless. And therefore, we come and ask that you would pour out your spirit

00:04:02.919 --> 00:04:11.479
 upon each one of us, that we may focus our minds upon you and your word,

00:04:11.479 --> 00:04:20.360
 and that it may change our hearts and cause us to wonder and worship

00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:25.860
 at our victorious champion, Jesus Christ.

00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:30.319
 Help us now, we pray. Amen.

00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:43.079
 So two words can sum up what we're going to be looking at this morning. Warning and worship.

00:04:44.339 --> 00:04:55.699
 Warning and worship. Warning, Satan's opposition to Jesus and his church. And worship, Jesus' defeat of

00:04:55.699 --> 00:05:05.959
 Satan for the church. So first, warning, Satan's opposition to Jesus and his church.

00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:16.159
 As Jesus loved and served his disciples, so the sinister forces of darkness were at work. Go back to verse 2.

00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:28.500
 The evening meal was in progress. The devil had already prompted Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, to betray Jesus.

00:05:29.540 --> 00:05:37.520
 And then it gets even darker. The disciples want to know, who could it possibly be? Who would betray Jesus?

00:05:37.519 --> 00:05:40.279
 Jesus. Verse 26.

00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:42.939
 Jesus answered,

00:05:43.379 --> 00:05:48.799
 It's the one to whom I will give this piece of bread when I have dipped it in the dish.

00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:57.019
 Then dipping the piece of bread, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.

00:05:58.139 --> 00:06:04.180
 As soon as Judas took the bread, Satan entered into him.

00:06:04.180 --> 00:06:09.040
 You see, Satan is opposed to Jesus.

00:06:09.740 --> 00:06:12.699
 He wants rid of Jesus.

00:06:13.259 --> 00:06:16.139
 He wants the mission of Jesus to fail.

00:06:16.519 --> 00:06:18.579
 And it seems to be working.

00:06:19.139 --> 00:06:20.019
 Verse 30.

00:06:20.939 --> 00:06:24.660
 As soon as Judas had taken the bread, he went out.

00:06:25.620 --> 00:06:27.120
 And it was night.

00:06:28.420 --> 00:06:33.939
 The dark night reflected Satan's dark schemes.

00:06:34.180 --> 00:06:37.300
 And Judas' dark soul.

00:06:38.379 --> 00:06:46.360
 Within a few hours, Jesus would be arrested, betrayed, beaten, mocked, crucified.

00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:50.879
 The forces of darkness are real.

00:06:52.379 --> 00:06:56.600
 Now there's two things that we can learn from this warning.

00:06:56.600 --> 00:06:59.100
 The first one is this.

00:07:00.300 --> 00:07:03.000
 The reality of Satan.

00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:05.360
 The reality of Satan.

00:07:05.540 --> 00:07:08.600
 Satan or the devil is not make-believe.

00:07:09.960 --> 00:07:15.600
 He's not a cartoon character dressed in a red cape with two horns and a pitchfork.

00:07:16.100 --> 00:07:17.460
 He's real.

00:07:17.459 --> 00:07:21.979
 Jesus spoke about him in chapter 8, verse 44.

00:07:21.979 --> 00:07:27.019
 Where he describes Satan as the father of lies.

00:07:28.019 --> 00:07:33.839
 That when he speaks lies, he's speaking the language of lies.

00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:35.179
 There's no truth in him.

00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:37.299
 He is the father of lies.

00:07:37.300 --> 00:07:39.579
 In chapter 12, verse 31.

00:07:40.280 --> 00:07:44.740
 Satan is described as the prince of this world.

00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:47.500
 Or the ruler of this world.

00:07:48.300 --> 00:07:53.120
 From the beginning of time, he has sought to oppose Jesus and his church.

00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:58.100
 And one of the ways he does this is by working through betrayal.

00:07:58.100 --> 00:08:06.100
 We expect most of the time for opposition to come from the outside, but never from the inside.

00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:09.820
 Friends don't betray friends.

00:08:11.400 --> 00:08:13.900
 Well, it seems sometimes they do.

00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:18.580
 Sadly, this sinister work of Satan is all too common.

00:08:19.439 --> 00:08:26.040
 Almost on a weekly basis now, I hear or read about influential church leaders across the world

00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:29.080
 who have betrayed Jesus and his church.

00:08:29.939 --> 00:08:31.460
 It might be an affair.

00:08:32.480 --> 00:08:34.159
 It could be stealing funds.

00:08:34.399 --> 00:08:35.840
 It could be telling lies.

00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:37.300
 It could be false teaching.

00:08:37.860 --> 00:08:40.320
 But it's not just confined to leaders.

00:08:40.960 --> 00:08:42.840
 It's there in the whole church.

00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:45.240
 People can slander one another.

00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:47.820
 Spread lies and stir up trouble.

00:08:49.240 --> 00:08:52.000
 Betrayal can come in many forms.

00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:55.800
 And when it does, it's devastating.

00:08:56.039 --> 00:08:59.740
 It brings disorder, division and disruption.

00:09:00.500 --> 00:09:02.819
 You see, Satan is not a joke.

00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:05.939
 He is in opposition to Jesus.

00:09:06.799 --> 00:09:10.559
 And he is in opposition to the church.

00:09:12.079 --> 00:09:15.480
 So first, we learn there's the reality of Satan.

00:09:16.379 --> 00:09:22.579
 But second, we can learn the responsibility of man.

00:09:22.580 --> 00:09:28.340
 You see, as we read this text, we might be feeling a little bit of sympathy for Judas.

00:09:28.680 --> 00:09:30.840
 It seems he didn't have a chance.

00:09:32.040 --> 00:09:35.639
 Satan had prompted Judas in verse 2.

00:09:36.480 --> 00:09:40.639
 And then Satan entered Judas, verse 27.

00:09:40.639 --> 00:09:46.460
 We can think that, well, poor Judas didn't have a chance.

00:09:46.460 --> 00:09:48.960
 The devil made me do it.

00:09:49.819 --> 00:09:51.519
 Oh, no, he didn't.

00:09:52.580 --> 00:09:56.899
 Judas is responsible for his actions and his choices.

00:09:57.879 --> 00:10:02.399
 You see, when it says in verse 27 that Satan entered Judas,

00:10:02.399 --> 00:10:10.299
 it's not like he was put into a spellbound trance or that he's under some kind of robotic control.

00:10:11.139 --> 00:10:15.639
 No, the phrase means he was influenced by Satan.

00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:23.860
 Through his life, one step at a time, he began to listen to the father of lies

00:10:23.860 --> 00:10:28.320
 and began to follow the prince of this world.

00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:33.840
 Look back with me to chapter 12, verse 4.

00:10:34.840 --> 00:10:36.740
 Chapter 12, verse 4.

00:10:40.419 --> 00:10:43.220
 Here we're introduced to a woman called Mary

00:10:43.220 --> 00:10:50.000
 who had poured a very expensive bottle of perfume on Jesus' feet.

00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:54.360
 We're told in the text that it cost a year's wage.

00:10:54.519 --> 00:11:01.200
 So, well, whatever your wage is, let's say 30,000 euro on a bottle of perfume.

00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:02.419
 That's a lot, isn't it?

00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:08.080
 It was an act of devotion and love towards Jesus.

00:11:08.299 --> 00:11:11.220
 But not everyone was happy, verse 4.

00:11:12.559 --> 00:11:16.600
 But one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot,

00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:22.040
 who was later to betray Jesus, objected.

00:11:22.820 --> 00:11:26.440
 Why wasn't this perfume sold in the money given to the poor?

00:11:26.620 --> 00:11:28.399
 It was worth a year's wages.

00:11:29.779 --> 00:11:32.960
 He did not say this because he cared about the poor,

00:11:33.759 --> 00:11:35.899
 but because he was a thief.

00:11:36.940 --> 00:11:39.420
 As a keeper of the money bag, the treasurer,

00:11:39.420 --> 00:11:43.040
 he used to help himself to what was in it.

00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:47.559
 Go back to chapter 13.

00:11:48.860 --> 00:11:52.319
 You see, it implies that Judas had been tempted.

00:11:53.519 --> 00:11:55.899
 Judas, you work so hard.

00:11:57.059 --> 00:11:59.199
 And you get so little for it.

00:11:59.559 --> 00:12:01.599
 Why don't you just take some cash?

00:12:02.779 --> 00:12:03.939
 You deserve it.

00:12:05.299 --> 00:12:07.339
 And so it can be with us.

00:12:07.340 --> 00:12:10.160
 We stop listening to the word of God

00:12:10.160 --> 00:12:13.800
 and we begin to listen to the lies of Satan.

00:12:14.560 --> 00:12:16.800
 We engage with his prompts.

00:12:17.320 --> 00:12:19.759
 We come under his influence.

00:12:21.300 --> 00:12:23.440
 You see, we need to be very careful

00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:26.440
 that we don't end up like a Judas.

00:12:27.840 --> 00:12:29.940
 As one writer put it like this,

00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:34.240
 Judas had spent three years with Jesus.

00:12:34.240 --> 00:12:37.320
 Judas saw the clearest evidence.

00:12:38.060 --> 00:12:40.060
 Judas heard the finest teaching.

00:12:40.820 --> 00:12:43.480
 Judas followed the greatest example.

00:12:44.039 --> 00:12:47.240
 But Judas still betrayed Jesus.

00:12:49.460 --> 00:12:51.460
 Well, we can come to church.

00:12:52.419 --> 00:12:54.720
 We can hear the word being taught.

00:12:54.879 --> 00:12:56.060
 It mightn't be the finest,

00:12:56.440 --> 00:12:57.899
 but it's still God's word.

00:12:58.700 --> 00:13:00.560
 We can serve in ministries.

00:13:00.559 --> 00:13:02.659
 But at the same time,

00:13:02.779 --> 00:13:05.959
 we can ignore those sinful habits and patterns.

00:13:07.259 --> 00:13:09.939
 No one else knows what they are deep inside.

00:13:10.879 --> 00:13:12.019
 But you do.

00:13:12.919 --> 00:13:14.739
 And I know what's in my heart.

00:13:15.719 --> 00:13:18.459
 And we need to be so very careful

00:13:18.459 --> 00:13:22.599
 because we have an enemy who opposes Jesus

00:13:22.599 --> 00:13:26.199
 and will use people to cause division

00:13:26.199 --> 00:13:29.019
 and disorder and upset.

00:13:29.019 --> 00:13:32.620
 You see, we can never say,

00:13:33.519 --> 00:13:35.519
 the devil made me do it.

00:13:36.259 --> 00:13:38.980
 I choose to do it.

00:13:40.139 --> 00:13:46.199
 So first, let's hear the warning of this message.

00:13:47.259 --> 00:13:51.439
 Satan is opposed to Jesus and his church.

00:13:51.899 --> 00:13:57.960
 And he will use people to bring destruction to the church.

00:13:57.960 --> 00:13:59.860
 So warning.

00:14:01.019 --> 00:14:01.700
 Second,

00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:04.700
 worship.

00:14:06.960 --> 00:14:10.920
 Jesus' defeat of Satan for the church.

00:14:11.780 --> 00:14:15.220
 You see, despite Satan's opposition to Jesus,

00:14:16.040 --> 00:14:19.100
 Jesus is the one who defeats Satan.

00:14:19.800 --> 00:14:23.840
 You see, Jesus and Satan are not equal and opposite forces.

00:14:24.300 --> 00:14:25.940
 This is not yin and yang.

00:14:25.940 --> 00:14:30.260
 No, God's word is telling us that Jesus has absolute power

00:14:30.260 --> 00:14:33.060
 and supreme authority over Satan

00:14:33.060 --> 00:14:34.980
 and all his schemes.

00:14:36.340 --> 00:14:39.280
 Again, there's two things we can learn from this.

00:14:40.680 --> 00:14:45.480
 First, Jesus' sovereignty over Satan.

00:14:46.280 --> 00:14:48.280
 His sovereignty over Satan.

00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:52.740
 Satan's attack was not a surprise.

00:14:53.740 --> 00:14:55.259
 Go back to verse 10.

00:14:57.259 --> 00:14:59.759
 Jesus had been washing the disciples' feet,

00:14:59.879 --> 00:15:04.079
 a sign of a deeper spiritual cleansing that he would do.

00:15:04.759 --> 00:15:06.139
 Look at the middle of verse 10.

00:15:06.139 --> 00:15:08.379
 And Jesus says,

00:15:08.460 --> 00:15:09.679
 And you are clean,

00:15:09.799 --> 00:15:11.460
 though not every one of you.

00:15:12.319 --> 00:15:16.259
 For Jesus knew who was going to betray him,

00:15:16.620 --> 00:15:19.879
 and that was why he said not everyone was clean.

00:15:21.419 --> 00:15:22.879
 You see, it wasn't a surprise.

00:15:23.139 --> 00:15:23.879
 Jesus knew.

00:15:24.259 --> 00:15:29.120
 In fact, it was all part of God's bigger and wider plan.

00:15:29.120 --> 00:15:31.600
 Look at verse 18.

00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:34.519
 Jesus says,

00:15:34.679 --> 00:15:36.419
 I am not referring to all of you,

00:15:36.539 --> 00:15:38.539
 to all of those who I said were clean.

00:15:38.980 --> 00:15:41.379
 I know those who I have chosen.

00:15:42.659 --> 00:15:44.379
 But this is to fulfill,

00:15:44.720 --> 00:15:48.440
 this betrayal is to fulfill this passage of Scripture.

00:15:49.560 --> 00:15:53.840
 He who shared my bread has turned against me.

00:15:53.840 --> 00:15:59.399
 Now, the quote Jesus has here from Psalm 41

00:15:59.399 --> 00:16:05.759
 is a psalm from David lamenting how in his struggle

00:16:05.759 --> 00:16:08.240
 people turned against him.

00:16:08.780 --> 00:16:10.060
 And here's the full quote.

00:16:10.180 --> 00:16:12.560
 You can read it there on the screen.

00:16:14.680 --> 00:16:16.879
 Even my close friend,

00:16:17.660 --> 00:16:19.259
 someone who I trusted,

00:16:20.160 --> 00:16:22.139
 one who shared my bread,

00:16:22.139 --> 00:16:24.399
 has turned against me.

00:16:25.340 --> 00:16:27.740
 You see, Jesus is taking this psalm

00:16:27.740 --> 00:16:31.439
 and he's showing us this was my experience.

00:16:31.759 --> 00:16:32.860
 A close friend,

00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:34.679
 someone who I trusted,

00:16:35.319 --> 00:16:37.580
 someone who I shared my meals with,

00:16:37.899 --> 00:16:39.679
 has turned against me.

00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:44.399
 But it's not just showing us Jesus' experience.

00:16:45.019 --> 00:16:48.039
 He's also showing us that what David had written

00:16:48.039 --> 00:16:50.700
 a thousand years before

00:16:50.700 --> 00:16:54.400
 was ultimately about Jesus

00:16:54.400 --> 00:16:56.800
 and his betrayal to come.

00:16:58.200 --> 00:16:59.160
 Verse 18,

00:16:59.360 --> 00:17:03.080
 this is to fulfill the passage of Scripture.

00:17:04.080 --> 00:17:05.680
 He who shared my bread

00:17:05.680 --> 00:17:07.720
 has turned against me.

00:17:08.480 --> 00:17:11.720
 You see, the betrayal is not just known by Jesus.

00:17:12.120 --> 00:17:15.380
 It was all part of God's bigger and wider plan.

00:17:15.819 --> 00:17:17.900
 He knew what was going to take place.

00:17:17.900 --> 00:17:19.200
 He planned it.

00:17:19.880 --> 00:17:22.820
 In fact, it's all under the control of Jesus.

00:17:23.360 --> 00:17:24.160
 Verse 21,

00:17:25.540 --> 00:17:27.360
 After he had said this,

00:17:27.500 --> 00:17:29.860
 Jesus was troubled in spirit and testified,

00:17:30.740 --> 00:17:32.400
 Very truly, I tell you,

00:17:32.740 --> 00:17:35.040
 one of you is going to betray me.

00:17:36.220 --> 00:17:37.280
 Verse 27,

00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:40.359
 As soon as Judas took the bread,

00:17:40.940 --> 00:17:42.519
 Satan entered into him.

00:17:43.480 --> 00:17:46.039
 So Jesus told him,

00:17:46.720 --> 00:17:48.440
 What you are about to do,

00:17:48.740 --> 00:17:49.819
 do quickly.

00:17:50.839 --> 00:17:52.779
 You see, Jesus is the one who

00:17:52.779 --> 00:17:55.279
 actually sends Judas out

00:17:55.279 --> 00:17:56.660
 and tells Judas,

00:17:57.200 --> 00:17:58.859
 Go and do what you're meant to do.

00:17:58.940 --> 00:18:00.119
 He gives him permission

00:18:00.119 --> 00:18:02.259
 to carry out the betrayal.

00:18:02.259 --> 00:18:05.779
 You see, Jesus uses

00:18:05.779 --> 00:18:07.680
 the schemes of Satan

00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:10.879
 to achieve his ultimate purpose.

00:18:11.900 --> 00:18:13.619
 Satan wanted rid of Jesus.

00:18:14.119 --> 00:18:16.099
 His plan was to use Jesus

00:18:16.099 --> 00:18:17.720
 to have him arrested

00:18:17.720 --> 00:18:19.059
 and ultimately killed.

00:18:19.579 --> 00:18:21.200
 And Jesus was crucified.

00:18:21.920 --> 00:18:23.660
 But it was no defeat.

00:18:24.640 --> 00:18:26.119
 The death of Jesus

00:18:26.119 --> 00:18:29.720
 was the defeat of Satan.

00:18:29.720 --> 00:18:32.759
 Jesus shows us this

00:18:32.759 --> 00:18:34.640
 if you go back to chapter 12,

00:18:34.980 --> 00:18:36.240
 verse 31.

00:18:37.860 --> 00:18:40.180
 Again, he knew what was going to happen.

00:18:40.299 --> 00:18:42.000
 Chapter 12, verse 31.

00:18:42.880 --> 00:18:45.440
 He'd been speaking about his coming death.

00:18:47.180 --> 00:18:48.000
 He says,

00:18:48.100 --> 00:18:50.839
 Now is the time for judgment on this world.

00:18:51.839 --> 00:18:54.559
 Now the prince of this world,

00:18:54.680 --> 00:18:55.680
 that is Satan,

00:18:56.299 --> 00:18:58.299
 will be driven out.

00:18:58.299 --> 00:19:01.779
 And when I am lifted up from the earth,

00:19:02.460 --> 00:19:04.700
 will draw all people to myself.

00:19:04.940 --> 00:19:06.240
 He said this

00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:08.659
 to show the kind of death

00:19:08.659 --> 00:19:11.279
 he was going to die.

00:19:13.180 --> 00:19:14.539
 Jesus' death

00:19:14.539 --> 00:19:17.159
 would secure

00:19:17.159 --> 00:19:19.200
 the defeat of Satan.

00:19:19.859 --> 00:19:22.480
 He would drive the prince

00:19:22.480 --> 00:19:25.039
 of this world out.

00:19:25.039 --> 00:19:27.599
 Jesus is sovereign

00:19:27.599 --> 00:19:29.200
 over Satan

00:19:29.200 --> 00:19:32.279
 and all his schemes.

00:19:34.440 --> 00:19:36.460
 But there's something else we can learn.

00:19:38.539 --> 00:19:39.619
 And that is

00:19:39.619 --> 00:19:41.019
 Jesus' victory

00:19:41.019 --> 00:19:42.259
 over Satan.

00:19:42.259 --> 00:19:43.700
 Not just his sovereignty,

00:19:44.480 --> 00:19:45.579
 ruling over everything,

00:19:45.740 --> 00:19:46.460
 but his victory.

00:19:47.000 --> 00:19:48.159
 Listen to what he says,

00:19:48.279 --> 00:19:49.180
 verse 19.

00:19:49.180 --> 00:19:53.980
 I am telling you now

00:19:53.980 --> 00:19:55.320
 before it happens

00:19:55.320 --> 00:19:57.960
 so that when it does happen,

00:19:58.660 --> 00:19:59.820
 you will believe

00:19:59.820 --> 00:20:01.259
 that I am

00:20:01.259 --> 00:20:02.560
 who I am.

00:20:03.259 --> 00:20:04.720
 He's making it clear

00:20:04.720 --> 00:20:05.920
 that he's in control

00:20:05.920 --> 00:20:07.440
 of all that's going to happen.

00:20:07.660 --> 00:20:09.100
 Even though the disciples

00:20:09.100 --> 00:20:10.600
 don't understand now,

00:20:10.720 --> 00:20:11.160
 he says,

00:20:11.720 --> 00:20:12.880
 when it does happen,

00:20:13.360 --> 00:20:14.400
 when the betrayal

00:20:14.400 --> 00:20:15.539
 does take place,

00:20:15.640 --> 00:20:16.460
 when my death

00:20:16.460 --> 00:20:17.259
 takes place,

00:20:17.680 --> 00:20:19.799
 then you will understand.

00:20:21.000 --> 00:20:22.380
 He puts it like this,

00:20:22.460 --> 00:20:23.160
 verse 19.

00:20:23.279 --> 00:20:24.579
 When it does happen,

00:20:25.220 --> 00:20:26.420
 you will believe

00:20:26.420 --> 00:20:27.920
 that I am

00:20:27.920 --> 00:20:29.539
 who I am.

00:20:30.600 --> 00:20:30.940
 Now,

00:20:31.000 --> 00:20:31.680
 doesn't that seem

00:20:31.680 --> 00:20:32.920
 a very strange way

00:20:32.920 --> 00:20:34.220
 to refer to himself?

00:20:34.779 --> 00:20:35.380
 I am

00:20:35.380 --> 00:20:36.180
 who I am.

00:20:36.440 --> 00:20:37.019
 Who are you?

00:20:37.680 --> 00:20:38.220
 I am

00:20:38.220 --> 00:20:39.000
 who I am.

00:20:40.440 --> 00:20:41.779
 But Jesus' words

00:20:41.779 --> 00:20:43.000
 are intentional.

00:20:43.940 --> 00:20:45.200
 And they're full

00:20:45.200 --> 00:20:47.500
 of victorious power.

00:20:49.279 --> 00:20:50.240
 Keep your finger

00:20:50.240 --> 00:20:51.759
 in John chapter 13

00:20:51.759 --> 00:20:52.680
 and go all the way

00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:53.680
 back to Exodus

00:20:53.680 --> 00:20:55.500
 chapter 3.

00:20:56.259 --> 00:20:57.980
 Exodus chapter 3.

00:20:57.980 --> 00:21:15.339
 Here God appears

00:21:15.339 --> 00:21:16.019
 to Moses

00:21:16.019 --> 00:21:17.599
 from the burning bush

00:21:17.599 --> 00:21:18.980
 and he speaks

00:21:18.980 --> 00:21:20.140
 to Moses.

00:21:21.200 --> 00:21:22.180
 And he's calling

00:21:22.180 --> 00:21:23.360
 Moses to go

00:21:23.360 --> 00:21:25.019
 and to save

00:21:25.019 --> 00:21:25.940
 God's people

00:21:25.940 --> 00:21:26.599
 who are

00:21:26.599 --> 00:21:27.839
 in slavery

00:21:27.839 --> 00:21:29.459
 under the cruel

00:21:29.459 --> 00:21:30.199
 tyrant

00:21:30.199 --> 00:21:30.799
 Pharaoh.

00:21:31.599 --> 00:21:32.240
 We're going to

00:21:32.240 --> 00:21:32.759
 pick it up

00:21:32.759 --> 00:21:34.240
 in verse 7.

00:21:37.059 --> 00:21:37.799
 The Lord said,

00:21:37.959 --> 00:21:38.639
 I have indeed

00:21:38.639 --> 00:21:39.759
 seen the misery

00:21:39.759 --> 00:21:40.699
 of my people

00:21:40.699 --> 00:21:41.399
 in Egypt.

00:21:42.219 --> 00:21:43.039
 I have heard

00:21:43.039 --> 00:21:44.139
 them crying out

00:21:44.139 --> 00:21:44.939
 because of their

00:21:44.939 --> 00:21:45.959
 slave drivers

00:21:45.959 --> 00:21:47.799
 and I am concerned

00:21:47.799 --> 00:21:48.859
 for their suffering.

00:21:49.259 --> 00:21:50.359
 So I have come

00:21:50.359 --> 00:21:50.939
 down

00:21:50.939 --> 00:21:52.299
 to rescue.

00:21:53.299 --> 00:21:54.159
 Verse 10.

00:21:54.160 --> 00:21:56.600
 So now go,

00:21:56.740 --> 00:21:57.640
 I am sending you

00:21:57.640 --> 00:21:58.160
 to Pharaoh

00:21:58.160 --> 00:21:59.360
 to bring my people,

00:21:59.480 --> 00:22:00.200
 the Israelites,

00:22:00.660 --> 00:22:02.180
 out of Egypt.

00:22:03.519 --> 00:22:04.740
 Verse 13.

00:22:06.300 --> 00:22:07.680
 Moses said to God,

00:22:08.019 --> 00:22:08.940
 Suppose I go

00:22:08.940 --> 00:22:09.680
 to the Israelites

00:22:09.680 --> 00:22:10.779
 and say to them,

00:22:11.300 --> 00:22:11.900
 The God

00:22:11.900 --> 00:22:12.860
 of your fathers

00:22:12.860 --> 00:22:13.720
 has sent me

00:22:13.720 --> 00:22:14.340
 to you

00:22:14.340 --> 00:22:15.840
 and they ask me,

00:22:16.519 --> 00:22:17.779
 What is his name?

00:22:19.200 --> 00:22:20.200
 Then what shall

00:22:20.200 --> 00:22:20.960
 I tell them?

00:22:20.960 --> 00:22:23.660
 God said to Moses,

00:22:24.100 --> 00:22:25.579
 I am

00:22:25.579 --> 00:22:27.579
 who I am.

00:22:28.500 --> 00:22:29.420
 That is what

00:22:29.420 --> 00:22:30.220
 you are to say

00:22:30.220 --> 00:22:31.160
 to the Israelites.

00:22:31.860 --> 00:22:32.819
 I am

00:22:32.819 --> 00:22:34.539
 has sent me

00:22:34.539 --> 00:22:35.960
 to you.

00:22:37.160 --> 00:22:38.279
 Let's go back

00:22:38.279 --> 00:22:39.440
 to John 13.

00:22:41.440 --> 00:22:42.819
 The self-existing,

00:22:43.660 --> 00:22:45.400
 self-sustaining God,

00:22:45.500 --> 00:22:46.200
 the one who has

00:22:46.200 --> 00:22:46.920
 no beginning

00:22:46.920 --> 00:22:47.640
 and no end,

00:22:47.740 --> 00:22:48.460
 the one who is

00:22:48.460 --> 00:22:49.079
 eternal,

00:22:49.680 --> 00:22:50.680
 I am

00:22:50.680 --> 00:22:51.880
 who I am,

00:22:52.200 --> 00:22:53.259
 will release

00:22:53.259 --> 00:22:54.519
 and free

00:22:54.519 --> 00:22:55.519
 God's people

00:22:55.519 --> 00:22:56.360
 from slavery.

00:22:57.539 --> 00:22:58.600
 Now Jesus

00:22:58.600 --> 00:22:59.920
 comes on the scene

00:22:59.920 --> 00:23:01.740
 and he declares

00:23:01.740 --> 00:23:02.340
 to be,

00:23:02.880 --> 00:23:03.620
 I am

00:23:03.620 --> 00:23:04.860
 who I am.

00:23:05.400 --> 00:23:05.759
 Jesus

00:23:05.759 --> 00:23:07.039
 is the eternal,

00:23:07.600 --> 00:23:09.019
 self-existing God

00:23:09.019 --> 00:23:10.019
 who has come

00:23:10.019 --> 00:23:11.079
 to free people

00:23:11.079 --> 00:23:12.299
 from a greater

00:23:12.299 --> 00:23:13.019
 slavery,

00:23:13.579 --> 00:23:15.019
 slavery to sin

00:23:15.019 --> 00:23:16.400
 and to death

00:23:16.400 --> 00:23:17.720
 and to Satan.

00:23:18.460 --> 00:23:20.360
 through my death,

00:23:20.539 --> 00:23:21.400
 Jesus is saying,

00:23:21.840 --> 00:23:22.660
 I will break

00:23:22.660 --> 00:23:23.340
 the chains

00:23:23.340 --> 00:23:24.720
 that enslave you

00:23:24.720 --> 00:23:25.960
 to the prince

00:23:25.960 --> 00:23:27.100
 of this world.

00:23:27.940 --> 00:23:29.480
 I will drive

00:23:29.480 --> 00:23:30.240
 him out

00:23:30.240 --> 00:23:31.640
 and I will

00:23:31.640 --> 00:23:33.259
 free all those

00:23:33.259 --> 00:23:34.559
 who come to me.

00:23:35.819 --> 00:23:36.600
 As Jesus

00:23:36.600 --> 00:23:37.920
 said in John 8,

00:23:38.799 --> 00:23:39.840
 so if the son

00:23:39.840 --> 00:23:41.160
 sets you free,

00:23:41.940 --> 00:23:43.680
 you will be free

00:23:43.680 --> 00:23:44.880
 indeed.

00:23:44.880 --> 00:23:46.980
 You see,

00:23:47.060 --> 00:23:47.720
 on the cross,

00:23:47.920 --> 00:23:48.980
 Jesus died

00:23:48.980 --> 00:23:50.600
 for our sins.

00:23:51.340 --> 00:23:52.500
 He took the judgment

00:23:52.500 --> 00:23:53.520
 that we deserve.

00:23:53.920 --> 00:23:54.540
 He suffered

00:23:54.540 --> 00:23:55.880
 hell for us.

00:23:56.240 --> 00:23:57.060
 He went into

00:23:57.060 --> 00:23:57.820
 that battle

00:23:57.820 --> 00:23:58.780
 and died

00:23:58.780 --> 00:24:00.480
 on our place.

00:24:01.440 --> 00:24:01.980
 He is the

00:24:01.980 --> 00:24:02.720
 victorious

00:24:02.720 --> 00:24:03.540
 champion.

00:24:04.920 --> 00:24:05.400
 Here is how

00:24:05.400 --> 00:24:05.900
 the Bible

00:24:05.900 --> 00:24:06.640
 puts it.

00:24:06.640 --> 00:24:11.640
 you can follow

00:24:11.640 --> 00:24:12.360
 on the screen

00:24:12.360 --> 00:24:12.620
 there.

00:24:12.759 --> 00:24:13.440
 Jesus has

00:24:13.440 --> 00:24:14.560
 rescued us

00:24:14.560 --> 00:24:15.580
 from the

00:24:15.580 --> 00:24:16.180
 dominion

00:24:16.180 --> 00:24:16.840
 of darkness

00:24:16.840 --> 00:24:18.280
 and brought

00:24:18.280 --> 00:24:18.780
 us into

00:24:18.780 --> 00:24:19.400
 the kingdom

00:24:19.400 --> 00:24:20.160
 of the son

00:24:20.160 --> 00:24:20.900
 he loves

00:24:20.900 --> 00:24:21.860
 in whom

00:24:21.860 --> 00:24:22.280
 we have

00:24:22.280 --> 00:24:22.960
 redemption,

00:24:23.720 --> 00:24:24.360
 the forgiveness

00:24:24.360 --> 00:24:26.100
 of sins.

00:24:27.100 --> 00:24:27.800
 Or here

00:24:27.800 --> 00:24:28.840
 in Colossians,

00:24:29.740 --> 00:24:30.080
 Jesus

00:24:30.080 --> 00:24:31.060
 cancelled

00:24:31.060 --> 00:24:31.840
 the charge

00:24:31.840 --> 00:24:32.240
 of our

00:24:32.240 --> 00:24:33.120
 indebtedness

00:24:33.120 --> 00:24:34.040
 which stood

00:24:34.040 --> 00:24:34.840
 against us

00:24:34.839 --> 00:24:35.459
 and condemned

00:24:35.459 --> 00:24:35.779
 us.

00:24:36.119 --> 00:24:36.439
 He has

00:24:36.439 --> 00:24:37.139
 taken it

00:24:37.139 --> 00:24:37.579
 away,

00:24:38.139 --> 00:24:38.699
 nailing it

00:24:38.699 --> 00:24:39.000
 to the

00:24:39.000 --> 00:24:39.439
 cross

00:24:39.439 --> 00:24:40.359
 and having

00:24:40.359 --> 00:24:41.039
 disarmed

00:24:41.039 --> 00:24:41.839
 the powers

00:24:41.839 --> 00:24:42.759
 and authorities

00:24:42.759 --> 00:24:43.639
 that is Satan

00:24:43.639 --> 00:24:44.079
 and his

00:24:44.079 --> 00:24:44.480
 demons,

00:24:45.079 --> 00:24:45.459
 he made

00:24:45.459 --> 00:24:46.079
 a public

00:24:46.079 --> 00:24:46.720
 spectacle

00:24:46.720 --> 00:24:47.379
 of them

00:24:47.379 --> 00:24:48.720
 triumphing

00:24:48.720 --> 00:24:49.500
 over them

00:24:49.500 --> 00:24:50.579
 by the

00:24:50.579 --> 00:24:51.119
 cross.

00:24:52.579 --> 00:24:53.299
 Or

00:24:53.299 --> 00:24:53.819
 Hebrews,

00:24:54.980 --> 00:24:55.459
 Jesus

00:24:55.459 --> 00:24:56.319
 by his

00:24:56.319 --> 00:24:56.819
 death

00:24:56.819 --> 00:24:57.759
 breaks

00:24:57.759 --> 00:24:58.519
 the power

00:24:58.519 --> 00:24:59.059
 of him

00:24:59.059 --> 00:25:00.240
 who holds

00:25:00.240 --> 00:25:00.879
 the power

00:25:00.879 --> 00:25:01.500
 of death,

00:25:01.859 --> 00:25:02.439
 that is

00:25:02.439 --> 00:25:03.000
 the devil,

00:25:03.000 --> 00:25:04.599
 and frees

00:25:04.599 --> 00:25:05.220
 those who

00:25:05.220 --> 00:25:05.859
 all their

00:25:05.859 --> 00:25:06.480
 lives

00:25:06.480 --> 00:25:07.559
 were held

00:25:07.559 --> 00:25:08.440
 in slavery

00:25:08.440 --> 00:25:09.640
 by their

00:25:09.640 --> 00:25:10.220
 fear

00:25:10.220 --> 00:25:11.640
 of death.

00:25:12.900 --> 00:25:13.859
 Rescued

00:25:13.859 --> 00:25:15.319
 from darkness

00:25:15.319 --> 00:25:16.119
 to light,

00:25:17.000 --> 00:25:17.640
 cancelling

00:25:17.640 --> 00:25:18.460
 the charge

00:25:18.460 --> 00:25:19.019
 that stood

00:25:19.019 --> 00:25:19.859
 against us,

00:25:20.420 --> 00:25:21.039
 setting us

00:25:21.039 --> 00:25:22.180
 free from

00:25:22.180 --> 00:25:23.019
 our slavery

00:25:23.019 --> 00:25:24.380
 to death,

00:25:25.140 --> 00:25:25.539
 Satan,

00:25:26.180 --> 00:25:26.980
 the ancient

00:25:26.980 --> 00:25:27.559
 serpent,

00:25:28.279 --> 00:25:28.900
 has been

00:25:28.900 --> 00:25:29.640
 crushed

00:25:29.640 --> 00:25:31.160
 and defeated

00:25:31.160 --> 00:25:32.460
 through the

00:25:32.460 --> 00:25:33.120
 death and

00:25:33.120 --> 00:25:33.820
 resurrection

00:25:33.820 --> 00:25:35.280
 of Jesus.

00:25:36.880 --> 00:25:37.600
 Now this

00:25:37.600 --> 00:25:38.560
 has massive

00:25:38.560 --> 00:25:39.880
 implications

00:25:39.880 --> 00:25:41.400
 for us

00:25:41.400 --> 00:25:42.660
 because

00:25:42.660 --> 00:25:43.180
 Jesus'

00:25:43.500 --> 00:25:44.100
 victory

00:25:44.100 --> 00:25:45.740
 directs

00:25:45.740 --> 00:25:46.820
 and shapes

00:25:46.820 --> 00:25:47.720
 the purpose

00:25:47.720 --> 00:25:48.620
 of the

00:25:48.620 --> 00:25:49.500
 church today.

00:25:50.360 --> 00:25:51.020
 Look at

00:25:51.020 --> 00:25:51.759
 verse 20,

00:25:52.240 --> 00:25:53.120
 chapter 13,

00:25:53.240 --> 00:25:53.960
 verse 20.

00:25:55.080 --> 00:25:56.040
 Very truly

00:25:56.040 --> 00:25:56.920
 I tell you,

00:25:57.320 --> 00:25:57.640
 whoever

00:25:57.640 --> 00:25:58.360
 accepts

00:25:58.360 --> 00:25:59.060
 anyone

00:25:59.060 --> 00:26:00.460
 I send

00:26:00.460 --> 00:26:01.200

00:26:01.200 --> 00:26:01.640

00:26:02.380 --> 00:26:02.940
 and whoever

00:26:02.940 --> 00:26:04.080
 accepts me

00:26:04.080 --> 00:26:04.920
 accepts the

00:26:04.920 --> 00:26:05.800
 one who

00:26:05.800 --> 00:26:06.560
 sent me.

00:26:07.440 --> 00:26:07.880
 You see,

00:26:07.980 --> 00:26:08.780
 Jesus comes

00:26:08.780 --> 00:26:09.160
 as the

00:26:09.160 --> 00:26:09.700
 victorious

00:26:09.700 --> 00:26:10.340
 champion,

00:26:11.000 --> 00:26:11.520
 and he is

00:26:11.520 --> 00:26:12.380
 sending his

00:26:12.380 --> 00:26:13.620
 church with

00:26:13.620 --> 00:26:14.740
 a triumphant

00:26:14.740 --> 00:26:15.920
 message,

00:26:16.700 --> 00:26:17.320
 the good

00:26:17.320 --> 00:26:18.280
 news of a

00:26:18.280 --> 00:26:18.940
 decisive

00:26:18.940 --> 00:26:20.140
 victory.

00:26:21.180 --> 00:26:21.580
 You see,

00:26:21.700 --> 00:26:22.360
 if you are a

00:26:22.360 --> 00:26:23.259
 Christian today,

00:26:23.600 --> 00:26:24.240
 if you are

00:26:24.240 --> 00:26:24.780
 in the

00:26:24.780 --> 00:26:25.220
 church,

00:26:25.220 --> 00:26:26.360
 you are

00:26:26.360 --> 00:26:27.440
 a true

00:26:27.440 --> 00:26:28.559
 freedom

00:26:28.559 --> 00:26:29.420
 fighter.

00:26:30.460 --> 00:26:31.140
 Our weapons

00:26:31.140 --> 00:26:31.680
 are not

00:26:31.680 --> 00:26:32.440
 guns and

00:26:32.440 --> 00:26:32.819
 bullets,

00:26:33.279 --> 00:26:33.920
 but the

00:26:33.920 --> 00:26:34.460
 gospel

00:26:34.460 --> 00:26:36.019
 and prayer.

00:26:37.019 --> 00:26:37.740
 As we

00:26:37.740 --> 00:26:38.519
 declare

00:26:38.519 --> 00:26:39.180
 Jesus,

00:26:39.640 --> 00:26:40.079
 as we

00:26:40.079 --> 00:26:40.960
 call people

00:26:40.960 --> 00:26:41.640
 to repent

00:26:41.640 --> 00:26:42.059
 of their

00:26:42.059 --> 00:26:42.660
 sins and

00:26:42.660 --> 00:26:43.140
 to trust

00:26:43.140 --> 00:26:43.620
 Jesus,

00:26:44.019 --> 00:26:44.440
 as we

00:26:44.440 --> 00:26:45.160
 pray for

00:26:45.160 --> 00:26:45.839
 that message

00:26:45.839 --> 00:26:46.380
 to take

00:26:46.380 --> 00:26:46.860
 effect,

00:26:47.259 --> 00:26:48.140
 so people

00:26:48.140 --> 00:26:49.000
 by God's

00:26:49.000 --> 00:26:50.039
 power are

00:26:50.039 --> 00:26:51.019
 setting people

00:26:51.019 --> 00:26:52.579
 free to

00:26:52.579 --> 00:26:53.259
 live a new

00:26:53.259 --> 00:26:53.700
 way,

00:26:54.440 --> 00:26:55.000
 a life

00:26:55.000 --> 00:26:55.460
 not of

00:26:55.460 --> 00:26:56.319
 lies and

00:26:56.319 --> 00:26:56.859
 darkness,

00:26:57.559 --> 00:26:58.019
 but a

00:26:58.019 --> 00:26:58.619
 life full

00:26:58.619 --> 00:26:59.379
 of truth

00:26:59.379 --> 00:27:00.440
 and light.

00:27:01.420 --> 00:27:02.079
 Jesus is

00:27:02.079 --> 00:27:02.640
 the great

00:27:02.640 --> 00:27:03.599
 I am who

00:27:03.599 --> 00:27:04.059
 has won

00:27:04.059 --> 00:27:04.819
 an eternal

00:27:04.819 --> 00:27:05.720
 victory for

00:27:05.720 --> 00:27:06.039
 us,

00:27:06.259 --> 00:27:06.779
 and he

00:27:06.779 --> 00:27:07.740
 sends us

00:27:07.740 --> 00:27:08.779
 now with

00:27:08.779 --> 00:27:09.440
 the power

00:27:09.440 --> 00:27:09.819
 of the

00:27:09.819 --> 00:27:10.519
 Holy Spirit

00:27:10.519 --> 00:27:11.660
 as new

00:27:11.660 --> 00:27:12.200
 people,

00:27:12.579 --> 00:27:12.960
 a new

00:27:12.960 --> 00:27:13.599
 creation,

00:27:13.980 --> 00:27:14.440
 where we

00:27:14.440 --> 00:27:14.920
 can now

00:27:14.920 --> 00:27:16.039
 say no

00:27:16.039 --> 00:27:16.740
 to sin

00:27:16.740 --> 00:27:17.799
 and yes

00:27:17.799 --> 00:27:18.599
 to Christ,

00:27:19.519 --> 00:27:19.920
 and we

00:27:19.920 --> 00:27:20.500
 go into

00:27:20.500 --> 00:27:21.180
 a world

00:27:21.180 --> 00:27:21.960
 that is

00:27:21.960 --> 00:27:22.779
 opposed to

00:27:22.779 --> 00:27:23.079
 him,

00:27:23.259 --> 00:27:23.799
 and we

00:27:23.799 --> 00:27:24.500
 bring this

00:27:24.500 --> 00:27:25.319
 liberating

00:27:25.319 --> 00:27:26.259
 free message

00:27:26.259 --> 00:27:26.940
 of Jesus

00:27:26.940 --> 00:27:28.019
 and show

00:27:28.019 --> 00:27:28.660
 how people

00:27:28.660 --> 00:27:29.119
 can be

00:27:29.119 --> 00:27:29.579
 delivered

00:27:29.579 --> 00:27:30.480
 from the

00:27:30.480 --> 00:27:31.059
 prince of

00:27:31.059 --> 00:27:31.680
 this world

00:27:31.680 --> 00:27:32.960
 and from

00:27:32.960 --> 00:27:33.640
 the father

00:27:33.640 --> 00:27:34.500
 of lies.

00:27:35.539 --> 00:27:36.359
 We have

00:27:36.359 --> 00:27:37.200
 a glorious

00:27:37.200 --> 00:27:38.019
 truth,

00:27:39.220 --> 00:27:39.839
 a truth

00:27:39.839 --> 00:27:40.480
 that sets

00:27:40.480 --> 00:27:41.400
 people free

00:27:41.400 --> 00:27:43.500
 and changes

00:27:43.500 --> 00:27:44.160
 their life

00:27:44.160 --> 00:27:45.480
 now and

00:27:45.480 --> 00:27:46.119
 for all

00:27:46.119 --> 00:27:46.720
 eternity.

00:27:49.559 --> 00:27:50.559
 So what

00:27:50.559 --> 00:27:50.879
 do we

00:27:50.879 --> 00:27:51.240
 learn?

00:27:51.240 --> 00:27:53.819
 well, I

00:27:53.819 --> 00:27:54.240
 hope we

00:27:54.240 --> 00:27:54.759
 hear the

00:27:54.759 --> 00:27:55.160
 warning.

00:27:57.059 --> 00:27:57.799
 Don't be

00:27:57.799 --> 00:27:58.279
 like a

00:27:58.279 --> 00:27:58.579
 Judas.

00:27:59.980 --> 00:28:00.779
 Don't be

00:28:00.779 --> 00:28:01.460
 sitting here

00:28:01.460 --> 00:28:02.319
 today knowing

00:28:02.319 --> 00:28:03.039
 what's going

00:28:03.039 --> 00:28:03.440
 in your

00:28:03.440 --> 00:28:04.079
 heart and

00:28:04.079 --> 00:28:04.640
 never ever

00:28:04.640 --> 00:28:05.400
 dealing with

00:28:05.400 --> 00:28:05.680
 it.

00:28:07.099 --> 00:28:08.019
 Run to

00:28:08.019 --> 00:28:08.859
 the victorious

00:28:08.859 --> 00:28:10.759
 king who

00:28:10.759 --> 00:28:11.539
 has defeated

00:28:11.539 --> 00:28:12.779
 your sin and

00:28:12.779 --> 00:28:13.880
 offers forgiveness

00:28:13.880 --> 00:28:14.539
 today.

00:28:14.539 --> 00:28:18.960
 instead, may

00:28:18.960 --> 00:28:19.819
 we all come

00:28:19.819 --> 00:28:20.539
 and worship

00:28:20.539 --> 00:28:22.000
 that we

00:28:22.000 --> 00:28:22.619
 would bow

00:28:22.619 --> 00:28:23.700
 before Jesus

00:28:23.700 --> 00:28:24.399
 the great

00:28:24.399 --> 00:28:25.519
 I am, our

00:28:25.519 --> 00:28:26.259
 victorious

00:28:26.259 --> 00:28:27.539
 champion who

00:28:27.539 --> 00:28:28.700
 has secured a

00:28:28.700 --> 00:28:29.700
 victory for us

00:28:29.700 --> 00:28:31.039
 and sends us

00:28:31.039 --> 00:28:32.279
 out with a

00:28:32.279 --> 00:28:33.079
 triumphant

00:28:33.079 --> 00:28:33.759
 message.

00:28:33.759 --> 00:28:36.700
 worship him

00:28:36.700 --> 00:28:38.240
 who has

00:28:38.240 --> 00:28:39.480
 rescued us

00:28:39.480 --> 00:28:41.500
 for life

00:28:41.500 --> 00:28:42.319
 eternal.

00:28:43.920 --> 00:28:45.079
 Let's pray

00:28:45.079 --> 00:28:45.920
 together.

00:28:45.920 --> 00:28:58.759
 Father, help

00:28:58.759 --> 00:29:01.640
 us to

00:29:01.640 --> 00:29:02.279
 take the

00:29:02.279 --> 00:29:02.900
 warning of

00:29:02.900 --> 00:29:03.539
 your words

00:29:03.539 --> 00:29:04.340
 seriously.

00:29:07.080 --> 00:29:08.080
 Help us

00:29:08.080 --> 00:29:09.000
 to run to

00:29:09.000 --> 00:29:09.700
 the Savior,

00:29:11.380 --> 00:29:13.000
 to experience

00:29:13.000 --> 00:29:15.100
 light and

00:29:15.100 --> 00:29:15.640
 life.

00:29:15.920 --> 00:29:18.440
 the truth

00:29:18.440 --> 00:29:20.560
 and the

00:29:20.560 --> 00:29:21.039
 hope of

00:29:21.039 --> 00:29:21.860
 eternal life

00:29:21.860 --> 00:29:22.400
 to come.

00:29:24.240 --> 00:29:25.140
 Help us

00:29:25.140 --> 00:29:25.600
 that we

00:29:25.600 --> 00:29:26.279
 would bow

00:29:26.279 --> 00:29:26.960
 in worship

00:29:26.960 --> 00:29:29.100
 and live

00:29:29.100 --> 00:29:29.840
 lives of

00:29:29.840 --> 00:29:30.539
 worship this

00:29:30.539 --> 00:29:31.300
 week as we

00:29:31.300 --> 00:29:33.039
 declare the

00:29:33.039 --> 00:29:33.800
 victory of

00:29:33.800 --> 00:29:35.600
 Christ to

00:29:35.600 --> 00:29:36.300
 those who

00:29:36.300 --> 00:29:37.400
 remain enslaved

00:29:37.400 --> 00:29:38.460
 in sin and

00:29:38.460 --> 00:29:38.860
 death.

00:29:39.980 --> 00:29:40.440
 May they

00:29:40.440 --> 00:29:40.940
 come to

00:29:40.940 --> 00:29:41.340
 know the

00:29:41.340 --> 00:29:41.840
 hope of

00:29:41.840 --> 00:29:43.580
 Christ and

00:29:43.580 --> 00:29:44.380
 the glory to

00:29:44.380 --> 00:29:44.740
 come.

00:29:44.740 --> 00:29:46.359
 in Jesus'

00:29:46.599 --> 00:29:46.859
 name.

00:29:46.859 --> 00:29:48.380
 Amen.

00:29:48.380 --> 00:29:57.600
 Let's

00:29:57.600 --> 00:29:58.300
 stand together

00:29:58.300 --> 00:29:58.800
 as we

00:29:58.800 --> 00:29:59.180
 sing.

00:29:59.180 --> 00:30:00.920
 Come

00:30:00.920 --> 00:30:01.320
 behold
