00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.140
 Go ahead and take your Bibles from Mark chapter 14 as we start out with the first Sunday of the new year, 2025.

00:00:09.439 --> 00:00:12.820
 You know, what another year the Lord has given to us.

00:00:13.099 --> 00:00:18.660
 And just as we transition to a new year, we're transitioning to a new chapter here in the book of Mark.

00:00:19.280 --> 00:00:24.260
 And as we come here to this transition in the gospel here, this narrative,

00:00:24.820 --> 00:00:29.000
 we're going to look this morning at some motives that are revealed.

00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:32.880
 Because, you know, as we understand, we all judge motives.

00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:37.880
 We look at motives. We try to assess motives that people have.

00:00:37.939 --> 00:00:42.719
 And here this morning we're going to look at some motives about people and their service

00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:47.079
 and how they look at the Lord and the things with that.

00:00:47.219 --> 00:00:51.640
 And so sometimes we can't always understand somebody's motive,

00:00:51.980 --> 00:00:58.799
 but we do and can assess the actions and the choices that they make.

00:00:58.799 --> 00:01:01.799
 And it may seem one way by observation.

00:01:02.579 --> 00:01:05.879
 You know, we can observe somebody and try to make some assessments about their motive.

00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:10.899
 But you know what? There's only two people who know your true motive.

00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:12.079
 That's yourself and God.

00:01:13.539 --> 00:01:16.599
 And the sad part is sometimes we don't even understand our motive.

00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:22.140
 Yeah, I believe sometimes we don't even understand why we do something sometimes until later on.

00:01:22.140 --> 00:01:26.780
 But I want you to know God understands all that's going on within us.

00:01:27.519 --> 00:01:34.579
 You know, and so we're going to see here as Mark 14 brings to light the heart of individuals here within the chapter.

00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:38.519
 But before we begin reading, we need to just give a little context here

00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:43.159
 because this chapter kind of marks a transition in a unique way

00:01:43.159 --> 00:01:47.140
 because it kind of gives a flashback or moves back in time.

00:01:47.899 --> 00:01:51.780
 Here, if we're going to look this morning, it moves back a few days

00:01:51.780 --> 00:01:57.920
 and catches us up with what was happening, you might say, parallel to what Jesus was doing.

00:01:58.420 --> 00:02:01.219
 The things that were happening in the background here,

00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:03.799
 and we're going to talk about that here this morning,

00:02:03.799 --> 00:02:09.340
 but as he looks and unpacks those things about individuals' motives.

00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:14.500
 And Jesus speaks specifically about one person's motive in the narrative

00:02:14.500 --> 00:02:17.740
 and gives us insight into it.

00:02:17.939 --> 00:02:21.719
 And so we see here as Jesus arrives a few days early,

00:02:21.780 --> 00:02:24.719
 if you remember when he came towards Jerusalem for the Passover,

00:02:24.719 --> 00:02:27.599
 it was there in Bethany where he began

00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:32.319
 and came in on that Friday evening before the Passover

00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:34.739
 as we had looked weeks ago,

00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:39.319
 and we find these things are going to start playing out already

00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:43.280
 that set the stage for what's happening in the week that follows.

00:02:43.500 --> 00:02:45.840
 And so if you found Mark chapter 14,

00:02:46.060 --> 00:02:49.680
 let's stand together this morning for the reading of the Word of God here today

00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:50.699
 as we honor the Lord.

00:02:51.159 --> 00:02:52.879
 And let's look here in verse 1.

00:02:53.799 --> 00:02:54.219
 It says,

00:02:54.319 --> 00:02:56.840
 And after two days was the feast of the Passover,

00:02:56.840 --> 00:02:57.959
 and the unleavened bread,

00:02:58.039 --> 00:02:59.719
 and the chief priests and the scribes

00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:02.479
 sought how they might take him by craft

00:03:02.479 --> 00:03:03.560
 and put him to death.

00:03:04.219 --> 00:03:04.939
 But they said,

00:03:05.060 --> 00:03:09.000
 No, not on the feast day,

00:03:09.139 --> 00:03:11.099
 lest there be an uproar of the people.

00:03:11.800 --> 00:03:14.360
 And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper,

00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:15.240
 he sat at meat,

00:03:15.340 --> 00:03:18.060
 and there came a woman having an alabaster box

00:03:18.060 --> 00:03:19.780
 of ointment of spikenard,

00:03:19.860 --> 00:03:20.539
 very precious,

00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:22.879
 and she broke the box and poured it on his head.

00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:27.139
 And there were some that had indignation within themselves

00:03:27.139 --> 00:03:27.620
 and said,

00:03:27.780 --> 00:03:30.340
 Why is this waste of the ointment made?

00:03:30.859 --> 00:03:34.039
 For it might have been sold for more than 300 pence

00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:36.099
 and had been given to the poor,

00:03:36.180 --> 00:03:37.500
 and they murmured against her.

00:03:37.900 --> 00:03:39.120
 And Jesus said,

00:03:39.199 --> 00:03:39.939
 Let her alone.

00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:41.979
 Why trouble ye her?

00:03:42.539 --> 00:03:45.039
 She thwart a good work on me.

00:03:45.699 --> 00:03:47.400
 For ye have the poor with you always,

00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:50.020
 and whensoever ye will,

00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:52.240
 ye may do them good.

00:03:52.740 --> 00:03:54.819
 But me ye have not always.

00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:57.080
 And she hath done what she could.

00:03:57.219 --> 00:03:58.379
 She has come aforehand

00:03:58.379 --> 00:04:00.180
 to anoint my body to the bearing.

00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:02.560
 Verily I say unto you,

00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:05.420
 Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached

00:04:05.420 --> 00:04:06.500
 throughout the whole world,

00:04:06.640 --> 00:04:09.400
 this also that she hath done

00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:12.120
 shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.

00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:14.700
 And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve,

00:04:14.700 --> 00:04:16.439
 went unto the chief priest

00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:17.860
 to betray him unto them.

00:04:18.100 --> 00:04:19.439
 And when they heard it,

00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:21.959
 they were glad and promised to give him money,

00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:27.300
 and he sought how he might conveniently betray him.

00:04:27.699 --> 00:04:28.360
 Let's pray.

00:04:28.459 --> 00:04:28.980
 Heavenly Father,

00:04:29.100 --> 00:04:30.680
 as we come before you this morning,

00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:32.139
 Lord, we just thank you and praise you

00:04:32.139 --> 00:04:34.199
 for the day that you've given to us,

00:04:34.220 --> 00:04:35.600
 the opportunity to meet together.

00:04:36.220 --> 00:04:38.300
 Lord, as we just take time to look

00:04:38.300 --> 00:04:40.480
 at the motives of these individuals

00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:41.420
 here this morning,

00:04:41.420 --> 00:04:44.139
 that Lord, help us to assess our own motives

00:04:44.139 --> 00:04:46.659
 of what and the why if we do things,

00:04:46.779 --> 00:04:48.919
 and especially for your service.

00:04:49.419 --> 00:04:51.199
 Lord, help us to keep the right motives

00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:53.079
 in our lives towards you.

00:04:53.620 --> 00:04:55.139
 Lord, help us to do it in light

00:04:55.139 --> 00:04:56.839
 of what you've done for us.

00:04:57.800 --> 00:05:00.259
 Lord, help us to examine our motives

00:05:00.259 --> 00:05:01.060
 even here today,

00:05:01.159 --> 00:05:02.279
 that it might be found

00:05:02.279 --> 00:05:03.659
 that it was something

00:05:03.659 --> 00:05:05.800
 that was done well for you.

00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:07.659
 And Lord, we pray just have your hand

00:05:07.659 --> 00:05:08.639
 upon each one today,

00:05:08.719 --> 00:05:09.740
 and we give you all the praise

00:05:09.740 --> 00:05:10.720
 in Jesus' name.

00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:12.000
 Amen.

00:05:12.379 --> 00:05:12.920
 May we be seated.

00:05:13.639 --> 00:05:14.639
 You know, as we find here,

00:05:14.740 --> 00:05:15.960
 Mark takes us back

00:05:15.960 --> 00:05:18.579
 to the Friday as Jesus arrives.

00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:20.819
 And we'll talk just a little bit

00:05:20.819 --> 00:05:21.620
 about that here,

00:05:21.660 --> 00:05:23.199
 because it says it was two days

00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:24.680
 before the feast of the Passover.

00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:27.340
 And so one thing I want you to understand,

00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:30.040
 John's Gospel tells us

00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:31.340
 that this feast happened

00:05:31.340 --> 00:05:33.500
 on that Friday night

00:05:33.500 --> 00:05:35.420
 before the Sabbath,

00:05:35.960 --> 00:05:37.240
 there when Jesus arrived.

00:05:37.240 --> 00:05:38.259
 John chapter 12,

00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:38.860
 we'll look at that

00:05:38.860 --> 00:05:39.720
 a little bit this morning.

00:05:40.060 --> 00:05:41.160
 But I want you to understand,

00:05:41.259 --> 00:05:42.480
 sometimes we get caught up

00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:44.160
 and miss things in language,

00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:45.920
 because here it's talking about

00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:47.360
 the feast of the Passover

00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:48.860
 was two days.

00:05:48.939 --> 00:05:50.280
 Now, the feast is talking

00:05:50.280 --> 00:05:51.180
 about the festival,

00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:51.900
 in other words,

00:05:51.980 --> 00:05:53.879
 the course of the time frame

00:05:53.879 --> 00:05:54.579
 of Passover.

00:05:55.420 --> 00:05:56.879
 In order to understand that,

00:05:56.920 --> 00:05:57.780
 we have to look back

00:05:57.780 --> 00:05:58.379
 into Exodus.

00:05:58.540 --> 00:05:59.480
 If you remember in Exodus

00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:00.360
 when God originally

00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:01.340
 gave the Passover,

00:06:01.939 --> 00:06:03.759
 the Passover wasn't so much

00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:04.519
 an event,

00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:07.180
 but was a time period

00:06:07.180 --> 00:06:08.959
 that was involved,

00:06:09.039 --> 00:06:10.039
 because it started

00:06:10.039 --> 00:06:11.359
 on the tenth day of the month.

00:06:12.099 --> 00:06:13.459
 On the tenth day of Nisan,

00:06:13.579 --> 00:06:14.459
 they picked the lamb,

00:06:15.479 --> 00:06:16.199
 and they began,

00:06:16.479 --> 00:06:17.240
 from that point,

00:06:17.299 --> 00:06:18.159
 when they picked the lamb,

00:06:18.259 --> 00:06:19.459
 they would look at the lamb,

00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:21.539
 they would scrutinize the lamb,

00:06:21.620 --> 00:06:22.599
 they made sure the lamb

00:06:22.599 --> 00:06:24.939
 was proper to be sacrificed,

00:06:25.459 --> 00:06:27.039
 and then on the fourteenth day

00:06:27.039 --> 00:06:28.740
 was actually the day of Passover,

00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:30.819
 and they would actually kill

00:06:30.819 --> 00:06:32.599
 the lamb on that day.

00:06:32.600 --> 00:06:34.360
 Also on that day,

00:06:34.860 --> 00:06:36.420
 when they killed the lamb,

00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:37.760
 the next day began

00:06:37.760 --> 00:06:39.200
 the Feast of Unleavened Bread.

00:06:39.840 --> 00:06:40.580
 And so when it talks

00:06:40.580 --> 00:06:41.500
 about the feast,

00:06:41.620 --> 00:06:42.500
 or the festival,

00:06:42.620 --> 00:06:43.700
 the word here is festival.

00:06:43.820 --> 00:06:44.100
 In other words,

00:06:44.140 --> 00:06:44.879
 it's talking about

00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:47.320
 that time frame involved,

00:06:47.439 --> 00:06:49.240
 because sometimes we get,

00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:50.780
 as we read our Bible,

00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:52.200
 we get to reading through,

00:06:52.640 --> 00:06:53.879
 and we need to understand,

00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:55.000
 how has this happened?

00:06:55.400 --> 00:06:56.840
 Two days, it says,

00:06:56.980 --> 00:06:58.020
 and the other one says

00:06:58.020 --> 00:06:59.400
 six days before in John.

00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:00.280
 How does that correlate?

00:07:00.460 --> 00:07:01.980
 Well, John speaks specifically

00:07:01.980 --> 00:07:03.780
 about six days before

00:07:03.780 --> 00:07:05.420
 the Passover event itself,

00:07:05.740 --> 00:07:06.740
 and this one says,

00:07:07.200 --> 00:07:07.620
 two days,

00:07:08.060 --> 00:07:09.420
 was two days before

00:07:09.420 --> 00:07:11.140
 the festival began,

00:07:11.280 --> 00:07:11.800
 which would have been

00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:12.520
 on that Sunday.

00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:13.700
 And so, in other words,

00:07:13.740 --> 00:07:14.400
 we'll find that

00:07:14.400 --> 00:07:16.000
 if we understand the context,

00:07:16.280 --> 00:07:17.379
 we understand there,

00:07:17.700 --> 00:07:19.220
 everything flows perfectly

00:07:19.220 --> 00:07:20.120
 on the timeline.

00:07:20.860 --> 00:07:22.340
 And everything flows through,

00:07:22.420 --> 00:07:24.000
 there's no conflict here

00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:25.360
 of these events.

00:07:25.460 --> 00:07:26.520
 This is when this event

00:07:26.520 --> 00:07:27.439
 took place,

00:07:27.439 --> 00:07:28.740
 was in the house

00:07:28.740 --> 00:07:29.660
 of one Simon,

00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:30.720
 the leper.

00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:31.260
 And so,

00:07:31.620 --> 00:07:32.720
 this feast refers

00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:34.440
 to that entire time

00:07:34.440 --> 00:07:35.780
 of the Passover.

00:07:35.780 --> 00:07:37.100
 And that helps us understand

00:07:37.100 --> 00:07:37.920
 the context

00:07:37.920 --> 00:07:39.080
 of the passage.

00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:40.440
 Why was it placed here?

00:07:40.760 --> 00:07:41.940
 It's because he's given us

00:07:41.940 --> 00:07:43.900
 a motive about what's happening

00:07:43.900 --> 00:07:44.820
 behind the scenes,

00:07:44.840 --> 00:07:46.080
 because there's going to be

00:07:46.080 --> 00:07:47.480
 one of Jesus' disciples,

00:07:47.660 --> 00:07:47.980
 Judas,

00:07:48.400 --> 00:07:50.000
 that's going to turn Jesus in.

00:07:50.080 --> 00:07:50.920
 What were some things

00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:52.420
 preceding that

00:07:52.420 --> 00:07:55.080
 that led forth,

00:07:55.120 --> 00:07:55.920
 and that motive

00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:57.280
 behind it

00:07:57.280 --> 00:07:58.460
 is revealed?

00:07:58.459 --> 00:07:58.819
 Because,

00:07:58.919 --> 00:07:59.659
 take a look over quick,

00:07:59.719 --> 00:08:00.959
 go to John chapter 12

00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:02.680
 for a moment here this morning

00:08:02.680 --> 00:08:03.519
 as we look here

00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:04.379
 in this,

00:08:04.419 --> 00:08:05.120
 and you'll see

00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:07.259
 what I'm speaking of here.

00:08:07.579 --> 00:08:08.620
 Because we see here,

00:08:08.680 --> 00:08:09.279
 we can understand

00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:10.180
 this context,

00:08:10.299 --> 00:08:11.120
 John chapter 12

00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:11.859
 and verse 1

00:08:11.859 --> 00:08:12.500
 says,

00:08:12.500 --> 00:08:28.839
 In other words,

00:08:28.899 --> 00:08:29.620
 we see that

00:08:29.620 --> 00:08:30.600
 this event

00:08:30.600 --> 00:08:31.540
 is the same one,

00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:32.519
 and John gives us

00:08:32.519 --> 00:08:33.279
 more details

00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:34.320
 about who was present.

00:08:34.919 --> 00:08:36.120
 We have some very important

00:08:36.120 --> 00:08:37.220
 people present here.

00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:37.639
 We have

00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:39.000
 one,

00:08:39.100 --> 00:08:39.639
 as it mentioned,

00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:40.600
 he says that Mary

00:08:40.600 --> 00:08:41.659
 and Martha were there,

00:08:41.740 --> 00:08:43.060
 we find that Lazarus,

00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:44.180
 and if we consider

00:08:44.180 --> 00:08:46.340
 Lazarus was a unique gift,

00:08:46.680 --> 00:08:48.019
 our guest that day,

00:08:48.279 --> 00:08:50.080
 because just a few days

00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:51.200
 earlier from that,

00:08:51.320 --> 00:08:52.200
 Lazarus had been

00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:53.080
 laying in a grave,

00:08:53.399 --> 00:08:54.500
 and Jesus told him

00:08:54.500 --> 00:08:55.240
 to come forth.

00:08:56.360 --> 00:08:56.659
 You know,

00:08:56.840 --> 00:08:57.800
 here's one that had

00:08:57.800 --> 00:08:58.720
 risen from the dead

00:08:58.720 --> 00:08:59.480
 sitting at the meal.

00:08:59.580 --> 00:08:59.700
 Now,

00:08:59.820 --> 00:09:00.500
 wouldn't that make

00:09:00.500 --> 00:09:01.980
 your festivities

00:09:01.980 --> 00:09:02.720
 a little different?

00:09:03.860 --> 00:09:04.259
 You know,

00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:05.279
 as you consider

00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:06.220
 that Lazarus

00:09:06.220 --> 00:09:07.200
 is here sitting here

00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:07.940
 after Jesus

00:09:07.940 --> 00:09:09.460
 has called him forth

00:09:09.460 --> 00:09:10.620
 from the grave,

00:09:10.820 --> 00:09:12.040
 and while Jesus

00:09:12.040 --> 00:09:12.980
 and his disciples

00:09:12.980 --> 00:09:13.920
 arrived there,

00:09:14.300 --> 00:09:15.560
 this gathering here

00:09:15.560 --> 00:09:16.800
 has some other things

00:09:16.800 --> 00:09:17.280
 happening,

00:09:17.440 --> 00:09:18.519
 because notice

00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:19.379
 what it tells us

00:09:19.379 --> 00:09:20.259
 here in our text,

00:09:20.580 --> 00:09:21.420
 because something's

00:09:21.420 --> 00:09:22.900
 happening at the same

00:09:22.900 --> 00:09:23.900
 time that Jesus

00:09:23.900 --> 00:09:25.259
 is coming into Bethany

00:09:25.259 --> 00:09:26.740
 to prepare to present

00:09:26.740 --> 00:09:28.180
 himself in Jerusalem.

00:09:28.700 --> 00:09:29.720
 On that Sunday,

00:09:30.080 --> 00:09:31.400
 we find that triumphal

00:09:31.400 --> 00:09:32.720
 entry that we talk about,

00:09:32.900 --> 00:09:33.840
 and notice here

00:09:33.840 --> 00:09:35.180
 in verse 1,

00:09:35.400 --> 00:09:35.720
 it says,

00:09:35.800 --> 00:09:36.639
 and after two days

00:09:36.639 --> 00:09:37.240
 was the feast

00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:37.840
 of the Passover

00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:38.780
 of unleavened bread.

00:09:39.160 --> 00:09:39.340
 Now,

00:09:39.420 --> 00:09:39.980
 notice here,

00:09:40.240 --> 00:09:41.180
 the chief priests

00:09:41.180 --> 00:09:42.120
 and the scribes

00:09:42.120 --> 00:09:44.280
 took him by craft

00:09:44.280 --> 00:09:46.120
 and put him to death,

00:09:46.580 --> 00:09:47.660
 but they said,

00:09:47.780 --> 00:09:49.220
 not on the feast day

00:09:49.220 --> 00:09:51.160
 lest there be an uproar

00:09:51.160 --> 00:09:52.860
 of the people.

00:09:53.480 --> 00:09:53.759
 So,

00:09:53.820 --> 00:09:54.540
 we see here

00:09:54.540 --> 00:09:55.860
 something's taking place.

00:09:56.420 --> 00:09:57.340
 Matthew tells us

00:09:57.340 --> 00:09:58.100
 in his gospel

00:09:58.100 --> 00:09:59.120
 in Matthew 26

00:09:59.120 --> 00:10:00.780
 that they actually met

00:10:00.780 --> 00:10:01.500
 at the palace

00:10:01.500 --> 00:10:02.240
 of Caiaphas,

00:10:02.320 --> 00:10:03.000
 the high priest.

00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:04.400
 In other words,

00:10:04.420 --> 00:10:04.960
 they were there

00:10:04.960 --> 00:10:06.340
 meeting in a place

00:10:06.340 --> 00:10:07.399
 of a private home,

00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:08.500
 and this is one

00:10:08.500 --> 00:10:09.040
 of those things

00:10:09.040 --> 00:10:09.740
 that we're actually

00:10:09.740 --> 00:10:11.420
 doing something

00:10:11.420 --> 00:10:12.840
 that sometimes happens today.

00:10:12.980 --> 00:10:13.080
 You know,

00:10:13.160 --> 00:10:14.040
 people don't want to meet

00:10:14.040 --> 00:10:15.100
 in the official space

00:10:15.100 --> 00:10:16.180
 when they're making plans

00:10:16.180 --> 00:10:16.780
 to do things

00:10:16.780 --> 00:10:17.600
 they ought not to do.

00:10:19.060 --> 00:10:19.360
 You know?

00:10:19.800 --> 00:10:20.660
 Have you ever noticed that?

00:10:20.780 --> 00:10:22.200
 They usually don't do that

00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:23.259
 on the official space.

00:10:23.360 --> 00:10:24.300
 They go someplace else

00:10:24.300 --> 00:10:24.840
 to do it.

00:10:25.200 --> 00:10:26.379
 Because what were they doing?

00:10:26.460 --> 00:10:27.660
 They had a plot here.

00:10:27.980 --> 00:10:28.399
 They said,

00:10:28.460 --> 00:10:30.040
 how can we get rid of Jesus?

00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:30.439
 Now,

00:10:32.759 --> 00:10:33.699
 we understand

00:10:33.699 --> 00:10:34.740
 that this was before

00:10:34.740 --> 00:10:36.319
 Jesus even got to Jerusalem.

00:10:36.500 --> 00:10:37.259
 Why were they plotting?

00:10:37.379 --> 00:10:37.519
 Well,

00:10:37.839 --> 00:10:38.219
 one,

00:10:38.299 --> 00:10:39.120
 they knew Jesus

00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:40.019
 was going to be there

00:10:40.019 --> 00:10:42.620
 because he'd been there

00:10:42.620 --> 00:10:43.799
 every other time.

00:10:44.599 --> 00:10:44.839
 You know,

00:10:44.860 --> 00:10:45.639
 the Bible says

00:10:45.639 --> 00:10:46.579
 that it was his custom

00:10:46.579 --> 00:10:47.579
 to go to Jerusalem

00:10:47.579 --> 00:10:49.179
 at the feast.

00:10:49.259 --> 00:10:49.740
 In other words,

00:10:50.219 --> 00:10:50.639
 Jesus,

00:10:50.839 --> 00:10:51.599
 his whole life

00:10:51.599 --> 00:10:52.179
 from the time

00:10:52.179 --> 00:10:53.259
 he was a young child,

00:10:53.779 --> 00:10:55.799
 had been every time

00:10:55.799 --> 00:10:57.639
 to Jerusalem

00:10:57.639 --> 00:10:58.740
 for the feast

00:10:58.740 --> 00:10:59.360
 of the Passover.

00:10:59.360 --> 00:10:59.480
 Passover.

00:11:00.060 --> 00:11:00.860
 So in other words,

00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:01.460
 they knew

00:11:01.460 --> 00:11:02.659
 that he was going to show up.

00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:04.259
 But they didn't like him.

00:11:04.320 --> 00:11:05.000
 There were some things

00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:05.860
 that they wanted

00:11:05.860 --> 00:11:06.759
 to deal with

00:11:06.759 --> 00:11:07.379
 with Jesus

00:11:07.379 --> 00:11:09.139
 because he was getting in the way.

00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:09.700
 We're going to look

00:11:09.700 --> 00:11:10.639
 at his motives

00:11:10.639 --> 00:11:11.919
 here a little bit

00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:13.120
 because as we're going

00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:14.240
 to look here this morning

00:11:14.240 --> 00:11:15.240
 as they meet

00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:17.259
 behind closed doors,

00:11:17.419 --> 00:11:18.539
 we find that they

00:11:18.539 --> 00:11:19.600
 wanted to get rid of Jesus

00:11:19.600 --> 00:11:21.200
 because he was causing

00:11:21.200 --> 00:11:22.019
 a disruption

00:11:22.019 --> 00:11:23.379
 among the people.

00:11:24.100 --> 00:11:25.420
 And one of those disruptions

00:11:25.420 --> 00:11:26.060
 he caused

00:11:26.060 --> 00:11:26.940
 was Lazarus

00:11:26.940 --> 00:11:27.659
 walking around.

00:11:28.500 --> 00:11:28.659
 Now,

00:11:28.740 --> 00:11:29.340
 I don't know about you,

00:11:29.360 --> 00:11:30.019
 but that would definitely

00:11:30.019 --> 00:11:30.940
 cause a disruption

00:11:30.940 --> 00:11:32.460
 in the society around.

00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:33.580
 You know,

00:11:33.620 --> 00:11:34.539
 here's Lazarus

00:11:34.539 --> 00:11:35.080
 when everybody

00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:36.259
 knew was dead,

00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:39.700
 got up and walked out.

00:11:39.820 --> 00:11:40.120
 Now,

00:11:40.460 --> 00:11:41.659
 he's talking

00:11:41.659 --> 00:11:42.779
 to people

00:11:42.779 --> 00:11:44.600
 and others

00:11:44.600 --> 00:11:45.259
 are talking.

00:11:46.220 --> 00:11:46.399
 You know,

00:11:46.460 --> 00:11:47.440
 the Bible says

00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:48.460
 that some of them

00:11:48.460 --> 00:11:51.220
 that saw Lazarus

00:11:51.220 --> 00:11:52.080
 rise from the dead

00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:52.639
 caused them

00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:53.340
 to believe

00:11:53.340 --> 00:11:54.480
 that Jesus

00:11:54.480 --> 00:11:55.759
 was the Messiah.

00:11:55.759 --> 00:11:57.059
 that Jesus

00:11:57.059 --> 00:11:57.559
 is the one

00:11:57.559 --> 00:11:58.179
 they had to point

00:11:58.179 --> 00:11:58.799
 their direction to.

00:11:58.860 --> 00:11:59.600
 But there was others,

00:12:00.019 --> 00:12:01.120
 the Bible tells us,

00:12:01.179 --> 00:12:01.720
 that went

00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:03.480
 and told

00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:05.919
 the chief priests

00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:06.639
 and those things,

00:12:06.779 --> 00:12:07.039
 others,

00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:08.000
 that what had happened

00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:09.259
 and how the people

00:12:09.259 --> 00:12:09.740
 were beginning

00:12:09.740 --> 00:12:11.539
 to follow Jesus.

00:12:11.860 --> 00:12:12.460
 And as they met

00:12:12.460 --> 00:12:13.700
 behind those doors

00:12:13.700 --> 00:12:14.960
 and discussing

00:12:14.960 --> 00:12:15.919
 those things

00:12:15.919 --> 00:12:16.860
 and the disruption

00:12:16.860 --> 00:12:18.580
 that it was causing,

00:12:19.000 --> 00:12:20.019
 and those gatherers

00:12:20.019 --> 00:12:20.799
 were establishing

00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:21.319
 a plan

00:12:21.319 --> 00:12:22.319
 to put Jesus

00:12:22.319 --> 00:12:23.340
 to death.

00:12:23.340 --> 00:12:23.920
 So let's look

00:12:23.920 --> 00:12:24.620
 at the motives

00:12:24.620 --> 00:12:25.440
 here this morning

00:12:25.440 --> 00:12:26.460
 of these that we're meeting.

00:12:27.100 --> 00:12:27.920
 The motives

00:12:27.920 --> 00:12:28.660
 of the leaders.

00:12:29.360 --> 00:12:30.460
 Because this is important

00:12:30.460 --> 00:12:31.040
 to see here,

00:12:31.080 --> 00:12:32.440
 the motive that was there.

00:12:32.740 --> 00:12:33.360
 Turn back over

00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:34.420
 to the Gospel of John

00:12:34.420 --> 00:12:34.840
 for a moment

00:12:34.840 --> 00:12:35.379
 because John

00:12:35.379 --> 00:12:36.440
 gives us some insight

00:12:36.440 --> 00:12:37.899
 into this meeting

00:12:37.899 --> 00:12:38.980
 and what was going on.

00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:40.399
 It gives us insight

00:12:40.399 --> 00:12:41.220
 and I think we can

00:12:41.220 --> 00:12:43.060
 all connect with this

00:12:43.060 --> 00:12:43.620
 this morning

00:12:43.620 --> 00:12:44.480
 in the context

00:12:44.480 --> 00:12:46.220
 of society as a whole

00:12:46.220 --> 00:12:46.860
 and as people

00:12:46.860 --> 00:12:48.320
 because we understand

00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:49.259
 there's nothing new

00:12:49.259 --> 00:12:49.920
 under the sun.

00:12:50.940 --> 00:12:51.139
 You know,

00:12:51.160 --> 00:12:52.120
 if we haven't learned anything

00:12:52.120 --> 00:12:53.180
 that you ought to learn

00:12:53.179 --> 00:12:54.039
 that people do

00:12:54.039 --> 00:12:54.759
 what people do.

00:12:55.759 --> 00:12:56.779
 You can look back

00:12:56.779 --> 00:12:57.359
 in history

00:12:57.359 --> 00:12:58.479
 and the motives

00:12:58.479 --> 00:13:00.059
 of why people do something

00:13:00.059 --> 00:13:00.939
 is the same motive

00:13:00.939 --> 00:13:02.139
 of why people do it today.

00:13:03.179 --> 00:13:03.559
 You know,

00:13:03.599 --> 00:13:04.859
 it boils down to

00:13:04.859 --> 00:13:06.299
 the very simple thing.

00:13:06.379 --> 00:13:07.699
 Look here in John chapter 11.

00:13:07.779 --> 00:13:08.759
 Look in verse 48.

00:13:09.239 --> 00:13:10.000
 The Word of God

00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:10.639
 says this.

00:13:10.759 --> 00:13:10.959
 It says,

00:13:11.439 --> 00:13:12.899
 If we let him thus alone,

00:13:13.019 --> 00:13:14.679
 all men will believe on him

00:13:14.679 --> 00:13:15.739
 and the Romans

00:13:15.739 --> 00:13:16.719
 shall come away,

00:13:17.139 --> 00:13:18.259
 come and take away

00:13:18.259 --> 00:13:19.579
 both our place

00:13:19.579 --> 00:13:21.039
 and nation.

00:13:21.039 --> 00:13:24.019
 That does some description

00:13:24.019 --> 00:13:24.699
 of their motive,

00:13:24.839 --> 00:13:25.079
 isn't it?

00:13:25.679 --> 00:13:27.099
 What are they concerned about?

00:13:27.500 --> 00:13:28.659
 They're not concerned about

00:13:28.659 --> 00:13:30.079
 is Jesus the Messiah?

00:13:30.480 --> 00:13:32.399
 Is he the one sent by God?

00:13:32.579 --> 00:13:33.659
 They're more worried

00:13:33.659 --> 00:13:34.719
 about their place

00:13:34.719 --> 00:13:35.439
 and their position

00:13:35.439 --> 00:13:38.000
 of who they are

00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:39.860
 and where they hold authority.

00:13:40.500 --> 00:13:41.480
 I think we can understand

00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:42.439
 that still happens today,

00:13:42.500 --> 00:13:42.819
 doesn't it?

00:13:43.539 --> 00:13:44.959
 People get so caught up

00:13:44.960 --> 00:13:46.080
 they do what's counter

00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:47.860
 to what's best

00:13:47.860 --> 00:13:50.000
 for maintaining

00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:51.340
 their power

00:13:51.340 --> 00:13:52.160
 and their authority

00:13:52.160 --> 00:13:53.100
 and their place.

00:13:54.460 --> 00:13:56.700
 The attempt was about themselves.

00:13:57.379 --> 00:13:57.540
 You know,

00:13:57.580 --> 00:13:58.280
 we see here,

00:13:58.379 --> 00:13:59.400
 look back in our text

00:13:59.400 --> 00:13:59.860
 this morning

00:13:59.860 --> 00:14:01.980
 in Mark chapter 14

00:14:01.980 --> 00:14:03.720
 because notice here

00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:04.500
 what it says

00:14:04.500 --> 00:14:05.360
 and it says

00:14:05.360 --> 00:14:06.379
 at the end of that chapter,

00:14:06.540 --> 00:14:06.720
 it says,

00:14:06.879 --> 00:14:07.720
 or at the end of that verse,

00:14:07.800 --> 00:14:07.960
 it says,

00:14:08.040 --> 00:14:08.759
 The chief priests

00:14:08.759 --> 00:14:09.460
 and the scribes

00:14:09.460 --> 00:14:10.300
 sought how they might

00:14:10.300 --> 00:14:11.759
 take him by craft

00:14:11.759 --> 00:14:13.980
 and put him to death.

00:14:14.639 --> 00:14:16.120
 That word craft

00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:17.899
 means deception.

00:14:18.980 --> 00:14:19.600
 In other words,

00:14:19.659 --> 00:14:20.559
 how can we,

00:14:21.139 --> 00:14:23.220
 by trick or deception,

00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:24.919
 get Jesus

00:14:24.919 --> 00:14:26.340
 to a place

00:14:26.340 --> 00:14:27.740
 that we can have him killed?

00:14:29.600 --> 00:14:30.819
 They're plotting murder.

00:14:32.000 --> 00:14:33.460
 Here's the religious leaders,

00:14:33.580 --> 00:14:34.340
 those that were supposed

00:14:34.340 --> 00:14:34.980
 to uphold

00:14:34.980 --> 00:14:36.720
 the commands of God,

00:14:36.720 --> 00:14:38.340
 the very simple commands

00:14:38.340 --> 00:14:39.080
 because, I mean,

00:14:39.379 --> 00:14:40.759
 it's probably one of the most famous

00:14:40.759 --> 00:14:42.460
 of the commands of God

00:14:42.460 --> 00:14:43.480
 that people can quote

00:14:43.480 --> 00:14:43.960
 if you get them,

00:14:44.059 --> 00:14:45.019
 thou shalt not kill.

00:14:46.139 --> 00:14:46.439
 I mean,

00:14:46.460 --> 00:14:47.259
 it's pretty simple.

00:14:48.720 --> 00:14:49.879
 It's not complex.

00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:51.299
 It's not drawn out.

00:14:52.080 --> 00:14:52.399
 You know,

00:14:52.439 --> 00:14:53.600
 it's one of those commands

00:14:53.600 --> 00:14:54.519
 that God gives

00:14:54.519 --> 00:14:55.600
 that I don't think

00:14:55.600 --> 00:14:56.299
 people have trouble

00:14:56.299 --> 00:14:57.279
 understanding it

00:14:57.279 --> 00:14:58.720
 or argue about interpretation

00:14:58.720 --> 00:15:01.080
 of what it applies to.

00:15:01.200 --> 00:15:01.379
 I mean,

00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:02.460
 when you take a life

00:15:02.460 --> 00:15:03.200
 of an individual,

00:15:03.740 --> 00:15:04.439
 it's pretty clear.

00:15:06.059 --> 00:15:07.179
 When we understand

00:15:07.179 --> 00:15:07.819
 the plot

00:15:07.819 --> 00:15:08.439
 and the plan

00:15:08.439 --> 00:15:09.340
 that they were doing

00:15:09.340 --> 00:15:10.559
 with this,

00:15:10.559 --> 00:15:11.179
 they wanted to put

00:15:11.179 --> 00:15:12.339
 Jesus to death

00:15:12.339 --> 00:15:13.459
 by craft.

00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:13.879
 In other words,

00:15:13.919 --> 00:15:14.419
 they wanted to say,

00:15:14.479 --> 00:15:15.359
 how can we get this,

00:15:15.479 --> 00:15:16.359
 make this happen?

00:15:16.719 --> 00:15:18.019
 How can we manipulate

00:15:18.019 --> 00:15:19.079
 the system

00:15:19.079 --> 00:15:21.319
 to get it where we want?

00:15:22.419 --> 00:15:22.699
 You know?

00:15:23.579 --> 00:15:23.879
 Now,

00:15:24.239 --> 00:15:24.699
 like I said,

00:15:24.979 --> 00:15:25.799
 like when I was reading

00:15:25.799 --> 00:15:26.579
 through this and studying,

00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:26.979
 I'm like,

00:15:27.059 --> 00:15:27.219
 man,

00:15:27.259 --> 00:15:28.219
 did they read the newspaper?

00:15:29.899 --> 00:15:31.159
 Are the articles online?

00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:31.459
 I mean,

00:15:31.479 --> 00:15:32.500
 this is some of the same stuff

00:15:32.500 --> 00:15:33.159
 going on today,

00:15:33.219 --> 00:15:33.559
 isn't it?

00:15:34.339 --> 00:15:35.599
 That people manipulate

00:15:35.599 --> 00:15:36.500
 and try to do.

00:15:36.579 --> 00:15:37.559
 We see their motive

00:15:37.559 --> 00:15:39.539
 being laid out here,

00:15:39.539 --> 00:15:40.360
 but we find

00:15:40.360 --> 00:15:41.959
 like good politicians,

00:15:41.959 --> 00:15:43.120
 they didn't want to do it

00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:44.219
 in a manner or time

00:15:44.219 --> 00:15:45.759
 to detract from their standing

00:15:45.759 --> 00:15:46.419
 with the people.

00:15:47.419 --> 00:15:48.779
 Because look at verse 2,

00:15:49.059 --> 00:15:49.719
 what it says,

00:15:49.839 --> 00:15:50.579
 but they said,

00:15:50.959 --> 00:15:52.379
 not on the feast day

00:15:52.379 --> 00:15:53.679
 lest there be an uproar

00:15:53.679 --> 00:15:54.240
 of the people.

00:15:54.860 --> 00:15:55.079
 You know,

00:15:55.240 --> 00:15:55.639
 they're like,

00:15:55.679 --> 00:15:56.620
 we want to get rid of them,

00:15:56.679 --> 00:15:57.919
 but we've got to be

00:15:57.919 --> 00:16:00.399
 unique and deceptive

00:16:00.399 --> 00:16:01.299
 about this a little bit.

00:16:01.339 --> 00:16:02.799
 So everybody thinks

00:16:02.799 --> 00:16:04.459
 we're doing the right thing.

00:16:04.460 --> 00:16:06.080
 You know,

00:16:06.120 --> 00:16:06.840
 everybody's going to do

00:16:06.840 --> 00:16:07.660
 the right thing

00:16:07.660 --> 00:16:09.400
 and the right elements

00:16:09.400 --> 00:16:10.280
 involved here

00:16:10.280 --> 00:16:10.879
 and their intent

00:16:10.879 --> 00:16:12.040
 was to take Jesus

00:16:12.040 --> 00:16:13.740
 after the feast

00:16:13.740 --> 00:16:14.460
 of the Passover

00:16:14.460 --> 00:16:16.600
 because everybody

00:16:16.600 --> 00:16:17.800
 was going to be departing,

00:16:17.879 --> 00:16:18.400
 people weren't going

00:16:18.400 --> 00:16:19.340
 to be paying attention

00:16:19.340 --> 00:16:20.280
 and they said,

00:16:20.379 --> 00:16:20.400
 well,

00:16:20.460 --> 00:16:21.540
 take him at the end

00:16:21.540 --> 00:16:22.340
 and put him to death.

00:16:22.379 --> 00:16:23.259
 That was their plan.

00:16:24.540 --> 00:16:25.720
 That was the scheme

00:16:25.720 --> 00:16:26.879
 that they had come up with

00:16:26.879 --> 00:16:27.560
 at that point.

00:16:27.980 --> 00:16:28.940
 Now we know

00:16:28.940 --> 00:16:30.200
 that God

00:16:30.200 --> 00:16:31.440
 was involved

00:16:31.440 --> 00:16:32.420
 in this also.

00:16:32.560 --> 00:16:32.960
 God knew

00:16:32.960 --> 00:16:33.820
 what was going to happen

00:16:33.820 --> 00:16:35.759
 because in that meeting,

00:16:35.879 --> 00:16:36.320
 turn back over

00:16:36.320 --> 00:16:37.420
 to John chapter 11

00:16:37.420 --> 00:16:38.060
 for a moment

00:16:38.060 --> 00:16:38.980
 because we're going

00:16:38.980 --> 00:16:39.480
 to learn here

00:16:39.480 --> 00:16:40.560
 something about their motive

00:16:40.560 --> 00:16:42.400
 because their motive here,

00:16:42.500 --> 00:16:43.060
 notice here

00:16:43.060 --> 00:16:44.220
 as they're going through

00:16:44.220 --> 00:16:45.340
 in John chapter 11

00:16:45.340 --> 00:16:46.320
 in verse 49

00:16:46.320 --> 00:16:47.440
 says this,

00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:48.019
 and one of them

00:16:48.019 --> 00:16:48.900
 named Caiaphas

00:16:48.900 --> 00:16:50.040
 being the high priest

00:16:50.040 --> 00:16:50.759
 that same year

00:16:50.759 --> 00:16:51.540
 said unto them,

00:16:52.180 --> 00:16:53.580
 ye know nothing at all

00:16:53.580 --> 00:16:54.860
 nor consider

00:16:54.860 --> 00:16:55.980
 that it is expedient

00:16:55.980 --> 00:16:56.420
 for us

00:16:56.420 --> 00:16:57.220
 that one man

00:16:57.220 --> 00:16:57.800
 should die

00:16:57.800 --> 00:16:58.440
 for the people

00:16:58.440 --> 00:17:00.040
 that the whole nation

00:17:00.040 --> 00:17:01.340
 perish not.

00:17:02.340 --> 00:17:02.560
 You know,

00:17:02.559 --> 00:17:03.719
 now I can imagine

00:17:03.719 --> 00:17:04.799
 Caiaphas standing up

00:17:04.799 --> 00:17:05.159
 in the midst

00:17:05.159 --> 00:17:05.839
 of this group

00:17:05.839 --> 00:17:06.579
 and saying,

00:17:06.720 --> 00:17:06.799
 hey,

00:17:06.839 --> 00:17:07.619
 it's expedient

00:17:07.619 --> 00:17:08.480
 for one to die

00:17:08.480 --> 00:17:09.179
 for the nation.

00:17:10.539 --> 00:17:12.299
 Now this is also unique

00:17:12.299 --> 00:17:12.779
 in the fact

00:17:12.779 --> 00:17:13.460
 the next verse

00:17:13.460 --> 00:17:14.359
 gives us some more

00:17:14.359 --> 00:17:14.919
 information

00:17:14.919 --> 00:17:16.500
 because notice

00:17:16.500 --> 00:17:16.980
 in verse,

00:17:17.079 --> 00:17:18.399
 the next verse there

00:17:18.399 --> 00:17:18.740
 it says

00:17:18.740 --> 00:17:21.339
 in verse 51,

00:17:21.339 --> 00:17:22.579
 and this spake

00:17:22.579 --> 00:17:23.799
 he not of himself

00:17:23.799 --> 00:17:25.339
 but being the high priest

00:17:25.339 --> 00:17:25.740
 that year

00:17:25.740 --> 00:17:26.759
 he prophesied

00:17:26.759 --> 00:17:27.919
 that Jesus

00:17:27.919 --> 00:17:28.819
 should die

00:17:28.819 --> 00:17:29.679
 for that nation

00:17:29.679 --> 00:17:30.679
 and that not

00:17:30.679 --> 00:17:31.779
 for that nation only

00:17:31.779 --> 00:17:32.700
 but for also

00:17:32.700 --> 00:17:34.200
 he should gather

00:17:34.200 --> 00:17:35.319
 together in one

00:17:35.319 --> 00:17:36.240
 the children of God

00:17:36.240 --> 00:17:37.079
 that were scattered

00:17:37.079 --> 00:17:38.299
 abroad.

00:17:38.619 --> 00:17:39.339
 In other words,

00:17:39.440 --> 00:17:40.160
 God spoke

00:17:40.160 --> 00:17:41.480
 through an evil leader

00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:43.099
 because of the position

00:17:43.099 --> 00:17:43.879
 he held

00:17:43.879 --> 00:17:45.660
 God still spoke truth

00:17:45.660 --> 00:17:46.279
 and he spoke,

00:17:46.440 --> 00:17:47.119
 Caiaphas spoke

00:17:47.119 --> 00:17:47.819
 a reality

00:17:47.819 --> 00:17:49.000
 that Jesus

00:17:49.000 --> 00:17:50.259
 would

00:17:50.259 --> 00:17:51.899
 die

00:17:51.899 --> 00:17:53.819
 for the nation

00:17:53.819 --> 00:17:54.440
 of Israel

00:17:54.440 --> 00:17:55.879
 but also die

00:17:55.879 --> 00:17:57.680
 for everybody else.

00:17:57.680 --> 00:18:00.000
 it was a prophecy

00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:01.120
 that was set forth

00:18:01.120 --> 00:18:01.759
 that this was going

00:18:01.759 --> 00:18:02.600
 to take place

00:18:02.600 --> 00:18:03.640
 we see there

00:18:03.640 --> 00:18:04.799
 clearly their motive

00:18:04.799 --> 00:18:05.680
 was contrary

00:18:05.680 --> 00:18:06.380
 to everything

00:18:06.380 --> 00:18:07.019
 they said

00:18:07.019 --> 00:18:07.759
 they held high.

00:18:08.420 --> 00:18:08.900
 You got to remember

00:18:08.900 --> 00:18:09.680
 this is a group

00:18:09.680 --> 00:18:10.060
 that said

00:18:10.060 --> 00:18:10.620
 well we're the

00:18:10.620 --> 00:18:11.420
 religious people

00:18:11.420 --> 00:18:11.660
 you know

00:18:11.660 --> 00:18:12.259
 we got everything

00:18:12.259 --> 00:18:12.600
 right

00:18:12.600 --> 00:18:13.039
 we're all

00:18:13.039 --> 00:18:13.920
 whitewashed

00:18:13.920 --> 00:18:14.660
 and look good

00:18:14.660 --> 00:18:15.299
 and I want you

00:18:15.299 --> 00:18:15.900
 to understand

00:18:15.900 --> 00:18:16.539
 that you can have

00:18:16.539 --> 00:18:17.299
 people who look

00:18:17.299 --> 00:18:18.060
 good on the outside

00:18:18.060 --> 00:18:18.799
 but their motive

00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:19.560
 on the inside

00:18:19.560 --> 00:18:20.060
 isn't even

00:18:20.060 --> 00:18:20.680
 where he's close

00:18:20.680 --> 00:18:22.200
 because motives matter.

00:18:23.900 --> 00:18:24.560
 We're going to look

00:18:24.559 --> 00:18:25.019
 at that here

00:18:25.019 --> 00:18:25.679
 in just a moment

00:18:25.679 --> 00:18:27.119
 because we're going

00:18:27.119 --> 00:18:27.599
 to start here

00:18:27.599 --> 00:18:28.099
 quick and look

00:18:28.099 --> 00:18:28.919
 at the next person

00:18:28.919 --> 00:18:29.559
 whose motives

00:18:29.559 --> 00:18:30.179
 are judged

00:18:30.179 --> 00:18:31.539
 and looked at

00:18:31.539 --> 00:18:32.099
 that's the

00:18:32.099 --> 00:18:33.299
 motives of Mary

00:18:33.299 --> 00:18:34.440
 you know

00:18:34.440 --> 00:18:35.619
 look here at verse 3

00:18:35.619 --> 00:18:36.359
 it says

00:18:36.359 --> 00:18:37.539
 in being in Bethany

00:18:37.539 --> 00:18:38.299
 at the house

00:18:38.299 --> 00:18:39.200
 of Simon the letter

00:18:39.200 --> 00:18:39.879
 he sat at meat

00:18:39.879 --> 00:18:40.480
 and came a woman

00:18:40.480 --> 00:18:41.779
 having a alabaster

00:18:41.779 --> 00:18:42.779
 box of ointment

00:18:42.779 --> 00:18:43.419
 of spikard

00:18:43.419 --> 00:18:44.519
 very precious

00:18:44.519 --> 00:18:45.159
 and he broke

00:18:45.159 --> 00:18:45.639
 the box

00:18:45.639 --> 00:18:46.339
 and poured it

00:18:46.339 --> 00:18:47.460
 on his head

00:18:47.460 --> 00:18:48.839
 now we find here

00:18:48.839 --> 00:18:49.720
 that doesn't tell us

00:18:49.720 --> 00:18:50.720
 this is Mary here

00:18:50.720 --> 00:18:51.720
 Mark doesn't reveal

00:18:51.720 --> 00:18:52.859
 that but John does

00:18:52.859 --> 00:18:54.699
 in John chapter 12

00:18:54.699 --> 00:18:55.559
 in verse 3

00:18:55.559 --> 00:18:56.579
 he says

00:18:56.579 --> 00:18:57.899
 that it was Mary

00:18:57.899 --> 00:18:59.199
 who took a pound

00:18:59.199 --> 00:18:59.779
 of ointment

00:18:59.779 --> 00:19:01.279
 of spikard

00:19:01.279 --> 00:19:03.019
 and very costly

00:19:03.019 --> 00:19:03.619
 and anointed

00:19:03.619 --> 00:19:04.519
 the feet of Jesus

00:19:04.519 --> 00:19:06.219
 and wiped his feet

00:19:06.219 --> 00:19:07.259
 with her hair

00:19:07.259 --> 00:19:07.979
 you know

00:19:07.979 --> 00:19:08.859
 and we see here

00:19:08.859 --> 00:19:09.599
 that Mary

00:19:09.599 --> 00:19:10.719
 we're going to see here

00:19:10.719 --> 00:19:11.759
 the motives of Mary

00:19:11.759 --> 00:19:12.500
 as she comes

00:19:12.500 --> 00:19:13.199
 at this dinner

00:19:13.199 --> 00:19:14.519
 and she breaks

00:19:14.519 --> 00:19:16.000
 open this bottle

00:19:16.000 --> 00:19:16.619
 of perfume

00:19:16.619 --> 00:19:17.319
 now this is

00:19:17.319 --> 00:19:18.419
 basically here

00:19:18.419 --> 00:19:19.159
 the spikenard

00:19:19.159 --> 00:19:20.079
 is a very expensive

00:19:20.079 --> 00:19:20.599
 substance

00:19:20.599 --> 00:19:22.759
 the actual stuff

00:19:22.759 --> 00:19:23.400
 even today

00:19:23.400 --> 00:19:24.279
 is pretty expensive

00:19:24.279 --> 00:19:25.960
 you know

00:19:25.960 --> 00:19:26.480
 this would have been

00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:27.220
 something that was

00:19:27.220 --> 00:19:27.920
 not easily

00:19:27.920 --> 00:19:28.759
 we find later

00:19:28.759 --> 00:19:29.319
 it was worth

00:19:29.319 --> 00:19:30.920
 300 pennies worth

00:19:30.920 --> 00:19:31.980
 now today

00:19:31.980 --> 00:19:33.119
 that's not really

00:19:33.119 --> 00:19:34.039
 something we think about

00:19:34.039 --> 00:19:34.980
 but let me put it

00:19:34.980 --> 00:19:35.579
 this way

00:19:35.579 --> 00:19:37.460
 300 pennies worth

00:19:37.460 --> 00:19:39.279
 was about a year's wages

00:19:39.279 --> 00:19:40.279
 for the average worker

00:19:40.279 --> 00:19:41.339
 now it makes a little

00:19:41.339 --> 00:19:41.680
 difference

00:19:41.680 --> 00:19:42.279
 imagine you're

00:19:42.279 --> 00:19:44.079
 taking your whole year's wages

00:19:44.079 --> 00:19:44.920
 or what would mean

00:19:44.920 --> 00:19:45.779
 even the wages

00:19:45.779 --> 00:19:46.819
 of a working person

00:19:46.819 --> 00:19:47.059
 you know

00:19:47.059 --> 00:19:47.940
 let's put it today

00:19:47.940 --> 00:19:48.839
 okay let's take

00:19:48.839 --> 00:19:50.140
 a minimum wage

00:19:50.140 --> 00:19:51.200
 person's wage

00:19:51.200 --> 00:19:52.180
 and say they took

00:19:52.180 --> 00:19:53.200
 everything they had

00:19:53.200 --> 00:19:53.860
 that year

00:19:53.860 --> 00:19:55.140
 and that's what

00:19:55.140 --> 00:19:55.799
 this cost

00:19:55.799 --> 00:19:57.059
 that's pretty great value

00:19:57.059 --> 00:19:59.180
 even if you have

00:19:59.180 --> 00:19:59.660
 substance

00:19:59.660 --> 00:20:00.620
 that's a lot of value

00:20:00.620 --> 00:20:02.539
 that's something

00:20:02.539 --> 00:20:03.400
 that had value

00:20:03.400 --> 00:20:03.960
 to it

00:20:03.960 --> 00:20:04.600
 and we see here

00:20:04.600 --> 00:20:05.440
 she brings this

00:20:05.440 --> 00:20:06.059
 costly

00:20:06.059 --> 00:20:07.860
 container of perfume

00:20:07.860 --> 00:20:09.200
 which is

00:20:09.200 --> 00:20:10.480
 interestingly enough

00:20:10.480 --> 00:20:11.080
 is kind of an

00:20:11.080 --> 00:20:12.360
 amberish red color

00:20:12.360 --> 00:20:13.980
 and she breaks it open

00:20:13.980 --> 00:20:15.059
 and she pours it out

00:20:15.059 --> 00:20:16.279
 on Jesus' head

00:20:16.279 --> 00:20:17.160
 and it runs down

00:20:17.160 --> 00:20:18.100
 over him

00:20:18.099 --> 00:20:19.279
 and we're going to find

00:20:19.279 --> 00:20:19.419
 here

00:20:19.419 --> 00:20:20.119
 Jesus says

00:20:20.119 --> 00:20:21.059
 she's actually

00:20:21.059 --> 00:20:21.799
 doing something

00:20:21.799 --> 00:20:22.539
 that's a picture

00:20:22.539 --> 00:20:23.359
 of what's to come

00:20:23.359 --> 00:20:24.059
 I don't think

00:20:24.059 --> 00:20:24.839
 Mary understood

00:20:24.839 --> 00:20:25.699
 what she was doing

00:20:25.699 --> 00:20:26.740
 in that context

00:20:26.740 --> 00:20:28.379
 until Jesus

00:20:28.379 --> 00:20:30.419
 explained it

00:20:30.419 --> 00:20:32.099
 I think Mary

00:20:32.099 --> 00:20:33.500
 had a motive here

00:20:33.500 --> 00:20:34.399
 that was one

00:20:34.399 --> 00:20:35.079
 she wanted to

00:20:35.079 --> 00:20:35.879
 honor the Lord

00:20:35.879 --> 00:20:37.259
 because by doing this

00:20:37.259 --> 00:20:39.179
 she was honoring him

00:20:39.179 --> 00:20:40.819
 as the guest

00:20:40.819 --> 00:20:42.219
 there at the table

00:20:42.219 --> 00:20:43.179
 because as she

00:20:43.179 --> 00:20:44.019
 pours it out

00:20:44.019 --> 00:20:45.000
 she begins to wipe

00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:46.599
 his feet with her hair

00:20:46.599 --> 00:20:49.679
 and what statement

00:20:49.679 --> 00:20:50.559
 did she make

00:20:50.559 --> 00:20:51.579
 you know

00:20:51.579 --> 00:20:52.399
 I think when we look

00:20:52.399 --> 00:20:53.319
 at Mary's statement

00:20:53.319 --> 00:20:54.079
 we're going to see here

00:20:54.079 --> 00:20:55.299
 she made a statement

00:20:55.299 --> 00:20:56.099
 because some people

00:20:56.099 --> 00:20:56.839
 got upset

00:20:56.839 --> 00:20:59.179
 have you ever noticed

00:20:59.179 --> 00:20:59.519
 in life

00:20:59.519 --> 00:21:00.240
 sometimes you can make

00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:00.719
 a statement

00:21:00.719 --> 00:21:01.519
 by what you do

00:21:01.519 --> 00:21:02.959
 the choices you make

00:21:02.959 --> 00:21:05.259
 the things behind it

00:21:05.259 --> 00:21:05.959
 and people begin

00:21:05.959 --> 00:21:06.699
 to assess it

00:21:06.699 --> 00:21:09.339
 and we're going to see

00:21:09.339 --> 00:21:10.179
 here in just a moment

00:21:10.179 --> 00:21:10.959
 here those that

00:21:10.959 --> 00:21:11.559
 assessed it

00:21:11.559 --> 00:21:12.539
 but let's look at Mary

00:21:12.539 --> 00:21:13.939
 here and her motives

00:21:13.939 --> 00:21:14.839
 here for a little bit

00:21:14.839 --> 00:21:16.079
 because she was making

00:21:16.079 --> 00:21:16.919
 a statement about

00:21:16.919 --> 00:21:17.679
 her commitment

00:21:17.679 --> 00:21:18.720
 to Jesus

00:21:18.720 --> 00:21:20.459
 when she poured it out

00:21:20.459 --> 00:21:21.939
 there was no going back

00:21:21.939 --> 00:21:22.720
 you know it was

00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:23.500
 unconditional

00:21:23.500 --> 00:21:24.939
 and complete commitment

00:21:24.939 --> 00:21:26.099
 I mean when she

00:21:26.099 --> 00:21:27.419
 poured the bottle out

00:21:27.419 --> 00:21:28.839
 there was no going back

00:21:28.839 --> 00:21:29.599
 you don't put oil

00:21:29.599 --> 00:21:30.379
 back in the bottle

00:21:30.379 --> 00:21:32.119
 you know it doesn't

00:21:32.119 --> 00:21:32.799
 work that way

00:21:32.799 --> 00:21:34.959
 she was all in

00:21:34.959 --> 00:21:35.740
 in this commitment

00:21:35.740 --> 00:21:36.879
 of what she was to do

00:21:36.879 --> 00:21:38.639
 there was no going back

00:21:38.639 --> 00:21:39.859
 it was unconditional

00:21:39.859 --> 00:21:40.679
 it was complete

00:21:40.679 --> 00:21:41.980
 and she understood

00:21:41.980 --> 00:21:42.799
 the cost

00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:45.500
 she understood

00:21:45.500 --> 00:21:46.740
 the cost that was there

00:21:46.740 --> 00:21:47.419
 she was making

00:21:47.419 --> 00:21:48.259
 a statement

00:21:48.259 --> 00:21:49.700
 I believe about

00:21:49.700 --> 00:21:51.379
 Jesus' value

00:21:51.379 --> 00:21:52.180
 to her

00:21:52.180 --> 00:21:53.319
 you know

00:21:53.319 --> 00:21:53.940
 often times

00:21:53.940 --> 00:21:54.799
 what we do

00:21:54.799 --> 00:21:55.599
 makes a statement

00:21:55.599 --> 00:21:56.500
 about the value

00:21:56.500 --> 00:21:57.700
 we hold to God

00:21:57.700 --> 00:21:59.159
 or that we

00:21:59.159 --> 00:22:00.659
 God has to us

00:22:00.659 --> 00:22:01.720
 because the choices

00:22:01.720 --> 00:22:02.319
 we make

00:22:02.319 --> 00:22:03.720
 the priorities we place

00:22:03.720 --> 00:22:04.759
 the value we put

00:22:04.759 --> 00:22:05.399
 into something

00:22:05.399 --> 00:22:07.619
 says something

00:22:07.619 --> 00:22:08.639
 about how you hold

00:22:08.639 --> 00:22:09.339
 it in esteem

00:22:09.339 --> 00:22:11.659
 how do you honor

00:22:11.660 --> 00:22:12.240
 how do you

00:22:12.240 --> 00:22:13.580
 why is it important

00:22:13.580 --> 00:22:16.279
 in your life

00:22:16.279 --> 00:22:16.560
 you know

00:22:16.560 --> 00:22:17.519
 why are these things

00:22:17.519 --> 00:22:17.880
 there

00:22:17.880 --> 00:22:18.620
 and when she poured

00:22:18.620 --> 00:22:19.060
 it out

00:22:19.060 --> 00:22:20.040
 it revealed

00:22:20.040 --> 00:22:20.900
 that her Savior

00:22:20.900 --> 00:22:22.040
 was more valuable

00:22:22.040 --> 00:22:22.900
 than the things

00:22:22.900 --> 00:22:23.720
 in her life

00:22:23.720 --> 00:22:24.240
 you know I think

00:22:24.240 --> 00:22:24.740
 we could learn

00:22:24.740 --> 00:22:25.240
 we could spend

00:22:25.240 --> 00:22:26.240
 some time this morning

00:22:26.240 --> 00:22:26.980
 just talking about

00:22:26.980 --> 00:22:27.700
 her motives

00:22:27.700 --> 00:22:29.840
 because it's motives

00:22:29.840 --> 00:22:30.960
 that we ought to have

00:22:30.960 --> 00:22:31.560
 as believers

00:22:31.560 --> 00:22:32.340
 when you consider

00:22:32.340 --> 00:22:33.620
 what could we give

00:22:33.620 --> 00:22:34.680
 Jesus more than

00:22:34.680 --> 00:22:35.100
 what he's already

00:22:35.100 --> 00:22:35.740
 given us

00:22:35.740 --> 00:22:38.279
 what has he provided

00:22:38.279 --> 00:22:38.920
 for us

00:22:38.920 --> 00:22:40.200
 her actions spoke

00:22:40.200 --> 00:22:41.779
 and at that moment

00:22:41.779 --> 00:22:42.700
 she did not care

00:22:42.700 --> 00:22:44.059
 what anybody else thought

00:22:44.059 --> 00:22:45.860
 now I want you

00:22:45.860 --> 00:22:46.400
 to understand

00:22:46.400 --> 00:22:47.539
 that by her wiping

00:22:47.539 --> 00:22:49.400
 not just pouring the oil

00:22:49.400 --> 00:22:50.600
 but wiping his feet

00:22:50.600 --> 00:22:51.480
 with her hair

00:22:51.480 --> 00:22:52.900
 made a statement

00:22:52.900 --> 00:22:54.259
 that she was humble enough

00:22:54.259 --> 00:22:55.420
 to act as a servant

00:22:55.420 --> 00:22:58.000
 it was the reality

00:22:58.000 --> 00:22:58.860
 of other people

00:22:58.860 --> 00:22:59.980
 were not going to be happy

00:22:59.980 --> 00:23:00.860
 with what she did

00:23:00.860 --> 00:23:01.920
 because she was outside

00:23:01.920 --> 00:23:02.420
 the norm

00:23:02.420 --> 00:23:03.779
 you know

00:23:03.779 --> 00:23:04.819
 she was outside

00:23:04.819 --> 00:23:05.779
 what was expected

00:23:05.779 --> 00:23:07.400
 by her doing this

00:23:07.400 --> 00:23:09.039
 because if she was proper

00:23:09.039 --> 00:23:10.059
 she should have had

00:23:10.059 --> 00:23:10.879
 her hair up

00:23:10.879 --> 00:23:11.940
 and kept it up

00:23:11.940 --> 00:23:12.639
 that was just one

00:23:12.639 --> 00:23:13.680
 of the things of the day

00:23:13.680 --> 00:23:16.059
 it was a cultural dynamic

00:23:16.059 --> 00:23:17.240
 but she didn't care

00:23:17.240 --> 00:23:18.519
 what somebody else thought

00:23:18.519 --> 00:23:21.259
 her focus was on the Lord

00:23:21.259 --> 00:23:22.960
 her focus is

00:23:22.960 --> 00:23:24.399
 how am I honoring Jesus

00:23:24.399 --> 00:23:26.839
 how am I honoring him

00:23:26.839 --> 00:23:28.159
 for what he's given

00:23:28.159 --> 00:23:29.500
 honoring the Savior

00:23:29.500 --> 00:23:32.599
 her focus was strictly

00:23:32.599 --> 00:23:33.440
 upon Jesus

00:23:33.440 --> 00:23:34.940
 not what everybody else thought

00:23:34.940 --> 00:23:37.079
 she washed his feet

00:23:37.079 --> 00:23:37.879
 you know that job

00:23:37.879 --> 00:23:39.139
 of wiping his feet

00:23:39.139 --> 00:23:39.839
 was the job

00:23:39.839 --> 00:23:41.099
 of a household slave

00:23:41.099 --> 00:23:42.859
 yet she humbled herself

00:23:42.859 --> 00:23:43.879
 before the Lord

00:23:43.879 --> 00:23:45.019
 to serve

00:23:45.019 --> 00:23:47.399
 she gave no one the cost

00:23:47.399 --> 00:23:48.259
 you know

00:23:48.259 --> 00:23:51.039
 because I want you to understand

00:23:51.039 --> 00:23:51.939
 that the Bible

00:23:51.939 --> 00:23:52.839
 makes it very clear

00:23:52.839 --> 00:23:54.139
 you cannot offer to God

00:23:54.139 --> 00:23:54.919
 something that does not

00:23:54.919 --> 00:23:55.659
 cost you something

00:23:55.659 --> 00:23:56.339
 you know oftentimes

00:23:56.339 --> 00:23:57.639
 people want to serve God

00:23:57.639 --> 00:23:58.399
 by convenience

00:23:58.399 --> 00:24:01.199
 well if I have time

00:24:01.199 --> 00:24:02.039
 or if I'm available

00:24:02.039 --> 00:24:03.919
 I might show up

00:24:03.919 --> 00:24:05.019
 or I might do something

00:24:05.019 --> 00:24:07.539
 but the reality is

00:24:07.539 --> 00:24:09.319
 is that a sacrifice

00:24:09.319 --> 00:24:10.680
 by a very element

00:24:10.680 --> 00:24:11.420
 of sacrifice

00:24:11.420 --> 00:24:12.619
 means there's a price

00:24:12.619 --> 00:24:15.420
 that it costs something

00:24:15.420 --> 00:24:17.480
 you know consider David

00:24:17.480 --> 00:24:18.579
 go back to 2 Samuel

00:24:18.579 --> 00:24:19.379
 chapter 24

00:24:19.379 --> 00:24:20.079
 for a moment

00:24:20.079 --> 00:24:22.299
 2 Samuel chapter 24

00:24:22.299 --> 00:24:23.180
 in verse 24

00:24:23.180 --> 00:24:24.599
 we find here

00:24:24.599 --> 00:24:25.240
 that David

00:24:25.240 --> 00:24:27.180
 is about to make a

00:24:27.180 --> 00:24:29.000
 sacrifice

00:24:29.000 --> 00:24:30.139
 unto the Lord

00:24:30.139 --> 00:24:31.400
 and he's a

00:24:31.400 --> 00:24:32.519
 very needful

00:24:32.519 --> 00:24:33.720
 to buy this piece

00:24:33.720 --> 00:24:34.259
 of land

00:24:34.259 --> 00:24:35.160
 as the place

00:24:35.160 --> 00:24:37.660
 Uriah's threshing floor

00:24:37.660 --> 00:24:38.900
 it's the same place

00:24:38.900 --> 00:24:39.879
 where the temple mount

00:24:39.879 --> 00:24:40.539
 is today

00:24:40.539 --> 00:24:41.900
 but we're going to see here

00:24:41.900 --> 00:24:42.879
 that there's a lot

00:24:42.879 --> 00:24:43.859
 of things in this story

00:24:43.859 --> 00:24:44.680
 but I want you to notice

00:24:44.680 --> 00:24:45.420
 David's statement

00:24:45.420 --> 00:24:46.799
 because Uriah says

00:24:46.799 --> 00:24:47.519
 unto the king

00:24:47.519 --> 00:24:48.240
 you know

00:24:48.240 --> 00:24:49.000
 hey

00:24:49.000 --> 00:24:50.480
 you can just have it

00:24:50.480 --> 00:24:51.359
 if you're going to use it

00:24:51.359 --> 00:24:52.059
 for the Lord

00:24:52.059 --> 00:24:52.740
 he said

00:24:52.740 --> 00:24:53.680
 King David

00:24:53.680 --> 00:24:54.720
 if you need this

00:24:54.720 --> 00:24:55.379
 for the Lord

00:24:55.379 --> 00:24:57.039
 I'm willing to give it to you

00:24:57.039 --> 00:24:57.839
 now I believe

00:24:57.839 --> 00:24:59.160
 that guy had a good heart

00:24:59.160 --> 00:25:00.200
 about what was going on

00:25:00.200 --> 00:25:00.639
 he had a good

00:25:00.640 --> 00:25:01.980
 there was nothing wrong

00:25:01.980 --> 00:25:02.800
 with his intention

00:25:02.800 --> 00:25:04.240
 he said

00:25:04.240 --> 00:25:05.180
 man if you're going to use it

00:25:05.180 --> 00:25:05.759
 for the Lord

00:25:05.759 --> 00:25:06.660
 use it

00:25:06.660 --> 00:25:08.160
 but this particular case

00:25:08.160 --> 00:25:10.180
 dealt very specifically

00:25:10.180 --> 00:25:11.380
 man I don't know

00:25:11.380 --> 00:25:12.380
 what's up with that word lately

00:25:12.380 --> 00:25:13.480
 specifically

00:25:13.480 --> 00:25:15.700
 with David

00:25:15.700 --> 00:25:16.560
 what it says

00:25:16.560 --> 00:25:18.600
 in the middle of that verse

00:25:18.600 --> 00:25:18.920
 there's

00:25:18.920 --> 00:25:19.880
 neither will I offer

00:25:19.880 --> 00:25:20.759
 burnt offerings

00:25:20.759 --> 00:25:22.000
 unto the Lord my God

00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:22.259
 which

00:25:22.259 --> 00:25:24.340
 of that which

00:25:24.340 --> 00:25:25.900
 doth cost me

00:25:25.900 --> 00:25:26.980
 nothing

00:25:26.980 --> 00:25:28.380
 you cannot offer

00:25:28.380 --> 00:25:29.080
 unto God

00:25:29.080 --> 00:25:29.900
 something that doesn't

00:25:29.900 --> 00:25:30.540
 have value

00:25:30.539 --> 00:25:31.039
 you know

00:25:31.039 --> 00:25:31.740
 often times people

00:25:31.740 --> 00:25:32.539
 don't want to

00:25:32.539 --> 00:25:33.240
 offer things

00:25:33.240 --> 00:25:33.899
 unto God

00:25:33.899 --> 00:25:35.099
 but you know

00:25:35.099 --> 00:25:36.480
 really by offering

00:25:36.480 --> 00:25:37.240
 what we think

00:25:37.240 --> 00:25:37.940
 has value

00:25:37.940 --> 00:25:38.839
 in this life

00:25:38.839 --> 00:25:39.659
 unto the Lord

00:25:39.659 --> 00:25:41.299
 makes a statement

00:25:41.299 --> 00:25:43.220
 it makes a statement

00:25:43.220 --> 00:25:44.079
 about our motive

00:25:44.079 --> 00:25:44.859
 it makes a statement

00:25:44.859 --> 00:25:45.899
 about our priority

00:25:45.899 --> 00:25:47.180
 it makes a statement

00:25:47.180 --> 00:25:48.680
 about what we deem important

00:25:48.680 --> 00:25:49.319
 look over to

00:25:49.319 --> 00:25:50.420
 Philippians chapter 3

00:25:50.420 --> 00:25:51.019
 for a moment

00:25:51.019 --> 00:25:53.220
 Philippians chapter 3

00:25:53.220 --> 00:25:54.000
 in verse 7

00:25:54.000 --> 00:25:55.759
 here we have

00:25:55.759 --> 00:25:56.839
 the apostle Paul

00:25:56.839 --> 00:25:57.279
 you know

00:25:57.279 --> 00:25:57.960
 sometimes I don't think

00:25:57.960 --> 00:25:59.000
 we really grasp

00:25:59.000 --> 00:25:59.759
 all the things

00:25:59.759 --> 00:26:00.799
 as I study out

00:26:00.799 --> 00:26:02.319
 Paul's life

00:26:02.319 --> 00:26:02.680
 I mean

00:26:02.680 --> 00:26:04.859
 Paul had it made

00:26:04.859 --> 00:26:06.279
 he was a Roman citizen

00:26:06.279 --> 00:26:08.500
 he was a man of influence

00:26:08.500 --> 00:26:09.660
 he had resources

00:26:09.660 --> 00:26:11.619
 he had all the things

00:26:11.619 --> 00:26:12.279
 that most people

00:26:12.279 --> 00:26:12.879
 on the outside

00:26:12.879 --> 00:26:14.019
 would look and say

00:26:14.019 --> 00:26:15.039
 here's a guy

00:26:15.039 --> 00:26:16.420
 who has it all together

00:26:16.420 --> 00:26:18.039
 he had the best education

00:26:18.039 --> 00:26:18.859
 he came from

00:26:18.859 --> 00:26:21.160
 a notable family

00:26:21.160 --> 00:26:21.940
 I mean he had

00:26:21.940 --> 00:26:23.019
 all the right connections

00:26:23.019 --> 00:26:24.099
 in the right places

00:26:24.099 --> 00:26:25.400
 he had resources

00:26:25.400 --> 00:26:26.460
 and look at what Paul

00:26:26.460 --> 00:26:27.559
 who gave up

00:26:27.559 --> 00:26:28.759
 all that life

00:26:28.759 --> 00:26:29.639
 to serve the Lord

00:26:29.639 --> 00:26:32.339
 notice what he says

00:26:32.339 --> 00:26:33.039
 here in verse 7

00:26:33.039 --> 00:26:33.299
 he says

00:26:33.299 --> 00:26:34.079
 but what things

00:26:34.079 --> 00:26:34.960
 were gained to me

00:26:34.960 --> 00:26:36.240
 those I counted

00:26:36.240 --> 00:26:37.599
 lost for Christ

00:26:37.599 --> 00:26:38.740
 yea doubtless

00:26:38.740 --> 00:26:40.119
 and I count all things

00:26:40.119 --> 00:26:41.159
 but lost

00:26:41.159 --> 00:26:41.940
 for the excellency

00:26:41.940 --> 00:26:42.579
 of the knowledge

00:26:42.579 --> 00:26:43.639
 of Christ Jesus

00:26:43.639 --> 00:26:44.359
 my Lord

00:26:44.359 --> 00:26:45.419
 for whom I have

00:26:45.419 --> 00:26:46.339
 suffered the loss

00:26:46.339 --> 00:26:47.319
 of all things

00:26:47.319 --> 00:26:48.159
 and do count them

00:26:48.159 --> 00:26:48.700
 but dung

00:26:48.700 --> 00:26:50.200
 that I might win

00:26:50.200 --> 00:26:51.099
 Christ

00:26:51.099 --> 00:26:52.139
 I want you to see

00:26:52.139 --> 00:26:53.079
 that Paul understood

00:26:53.079 --> 00:26:54.119
 to serve the Lord

00:26:54.119 --> 00:26:54.740
 was going to come

00:26:54.740 --> 00:26:55.380
 with a price

00:26:55.380 --> 00:26:56.319
 the sacrifice

00:26:56.319 --> 00:26:57.039
 unto the Lord

00:26:57.039 --> 00:26:57.759
 had a price

00:26:57.759 --> 00:26:58.579
 attached to it

00:26:58.579 --> 00:26:59.359
 a price

00:26:59.359 --> 00:27:00.059
 isn't necessarily

00:27:00.059 --> 00:27:00.940
 just resources

00:27:00.940 --> 00:27:02.140
 sometimes the highest

00:27:02.140 --> 00:27:02.960
 price we pay

00:27:02.960 --> 00:27:03.500
 is time

00:27:03.500 --> 00:27:04.240
 you know you get

00:27:04.240 --> 00:27:05.279
 resources back

00:27:05.279 --> 00:27:08.160
 the only thing

00:27:08.160 --> 00:27:09.400
 you have in life

00:27:09.400 --> 00:27:10.420
 you cannot redeem

00:27:10.420 --> 00:27:11.279
 and get more of

00:27:11.279 --> 00:27:11.740
 is time

00:27:11.740 --> 00:27:12.799
 your life

00:27:12.799 --> 00:27:13.720
 the direction

00:27:13.720 --> 00:27:14.900
 the things that you do

00:27:14.900 --> 00:27:16.539
 because look at

00:27:16.539 --> 00:27:18.000
 Jesus response to her

00:27:18.000 --> 00:27:19.099
 look here in verse 6

00:27:19.099 --> 00:27:19.700
 it says

00:27:19.700 --> 00:27:20.519
 and Jesus said

00:27:20.519 --> 00:27:21.319
 let her alone

00:27:21.319 --> 00:27:22.359
 why trouble ye her

00:27:22.359 --> 00:27:23.440
 she hath wrought

00:27:23.440 --> 00:27:24.480
 a good work on me

00:27:24.480 --> 00:27:25.100
 but ye have

00:27:25.100 --> 00:27:26.320
 the poor with you

00:27:26.320 --> 00:27:26.740
 always

00:27:26.740 --> 00:27:28.480
 and whensoever

00:27:28.480 --> 00:27:29.380
 ye will

00:27:29.380 --> 00:27:30.600
 ye may do

00:27:30.600 --> 00:27:31.480
 them good

00:27:31.480 --> 00:27:32.400
 but me

00:27:32.400 --> 00:27:33.580
 ye have not always

00:27:33.580 --> 00:27:34.820
 and she hath done

00:27:34.820 --> 00:27:35.620
 what she could

00:27:35.620 --> 00:27:36.740
 and she hath aforehand

00:27:36.740 --> 00:27:38.100
 to anoint my body

00:27:38.100 --> 00:27:38.860
 to the bearing

00:27:38.860 --> 00:27:40.920
 verily I say unto you

00:27:40.920 --> 00:27:42.240
 wheresoever this gospel

00:27:42.240 --> 00:27:43.059
 shall be preached

00:27:43.059 --> 00:27:44.120
 throughout the whole world

00:27:44.120 --> 00:27:46.200
 this also that she hath done

00:27:46.200 --> 00:27:47.220
 shall be spoken of

00:27:47.220 --> 00:27:47.960
 for a memorial

00:27:47.960 --> 00:27:49.160
 of her

00:27:49.160 --> 00:27:50.320
 you know

00:27:50.320 --> 00:27:51.400
 that's quite a lot

00:27:51.400 --> 00:27:51.900
 right there

00:27:51.900 --> 00:27:53.519
 I mean

00:27:53.519 --> 00:27:54.200
 Jesus here

00:27:54.200 --> 00:27:55.120
 looks at Judas

00:27:55.120 --> 00:27:55.840
 because we're going to

00:27:55.840 --> 00:27:56.259
 find here

00:27:56.259 --> 00:27:57.160
 Judas was the one

00:27:57.160 --> 00:27:58.000
 raising the stink

00:27:58.000 --> 00:28:00.280
 and he also caused

00:28:00.280 --> 00:28:00.860
 other people

00:28:00.860 --> 00:28:02.200
 to get upset about it

00:28:02.200 --> 00:28:03.160
 but I want you to hear

00:28:03.160 --> 00:28:04.100
 Jesus looks at him

00:28:04.100 --> 00:28:04.340
 and says

00:28:04.340 --> 00:28:05.060
 leave her alone

00:28:05.060 --> 00:28:06.180
 she's done that

00:28:06.180 --> 00:28:06.920
 which is right

00:28:06.920 --> 00:28:09.080
 you know

00:28:09.080 --> 00:28:09.940
 I want you to understand

00:28:09.940 --> 00:28:10.900
 sometimes you can do

00:28:10.900 --> 00:28:11.540
 what's right

00:28:11.540 --> 00:28:12.180
 and other people

00:28:12.180 --> 00:28:12.600
 aren't going to

00:28:12.600 --> 00:28:13.620
 recognize it as that

00:28:13.620 --> 00:28:15.060
 because of their motives

00:28:15.060 --> 00:28:15.980
 they're going to

00:28:15.980 --> 00:28:16.880
 judge those things

00:28:16.880 --> 00:28:18.280
 she wrought a good work

00:28:18.279 --> 00:28:19.700
 she had given

00:28:19.700 --> 00:28:20.960
 the right priority

00:28:20.960 --> 00:28:22.200
 to the Lord

00:28:22.200 --> 00:28:24.160
 as Jesus says

00:28:24.160 --> 00:28:25.539
 the poor will be with you

00:28:25.539 --> 00:28:26.000
 in other words

00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:26.639
 Jesus said

00:28:26.639 --> 00:28:26.920
 hey

00:28:26.920 --> 00:28:28.480
 she did the right thing

00:28:28.480 --> 00:28:29.539
 by honoring me

00:28:29.539 --> 00:28:30.539
 because she can honor

00:28:30.539 --> 00:28:31.619
 the poor anytime

00:28:31.619 --> 00:28:34.379
 they're not going

00:28:34.379 --> 00:28:34.920
 anyplace

00:28:34.920 --> 00:28:35.420
 Jesus said

00:28:35.420 --> 00:28:36.319
 in a few days

00:28:36.319 --> 00:28:38.779
 I'm going to go

00:28:38.779 --> 00:28:39.500
 to the cross

00:28:39.500 --> 00:28:42.039
 I'm going to die

00:28:42.039 --> 00:28:42.660
 for the sins

00:28:42.660 --> 00:28:43.220
 of the world

00:28:43.220 --> 00:28:43.759
 he said

00:28:43.759 --> 00:28:44.379
 that the poor

00:28:44.379 --> 00:28:45.059
 will be with you

00:28:45.059 --> 00:28:45.319
 always

00:28:45.319 --> 00:28:46.399
 now I want you

00:28:46.399 --> 00:28:47.000
 to notice here

00:28:47.000 --> 00:28:47.460
 there's a couple

00:28:47.460 --> 00:28:47.980
 things there

00:28:47.980 --> 00:28:48.720
 one the reality

00:28:48.720 --> 00:28:49.180
 is you're going

00:28:49.180 --> 00:28:49.600
 to have people

00:28:49.600 --> 00:28:50.140
 who struggle

00:28:50.140 --> 00:28:50.779
 in life

00:28:50.779 --> 00:28:52.539
 in all generation

00:28:52.539 --> 00:28:53.259
 and we can do

00:28:53.259 --> 00:28:53.880
 good to them

00:28:53.880 --> 00:28:54.519
 at any time

00:28:54.519 --> 00:28:55.380
 but how we honor

00:28:55.380 --> 00:28:55.740
 the Lord

00:28:55.740 --> 00:28:56.319
 is important

00:28:56.319 --> 00:28:58.440
 and honoring

00:28:58.440 --> 00:28:58.840
 the Lord

00:28:58.840 --> 00:28:59.240
 ought to have

00:28:59.240 --> 00:28:59.920
 a priority

00:28:59.920 --> 00:29:00.680
 over that

00:29:00.680 --> 00:29:01.920
 he declares

00:29:01.920 --> 00:29:02.400
 that she had

00:29:02.400 --> 00:29:03.720
 anointed his body

00:29:03.720 --> 00:29:04.579
 for the bearing

00:29:04.579 --> 00:29:05.420
 you know

00:29:05.420 --> 00:29:06.220
 it'd be less

00:29:06.220 --> 00:29:06.779
 than a week

00:29:06.779 --> 00:29:07.579
 from this point

00:29:07.579 --> 00:29:07.960
 that he would

00:29:07.960 --> 00:29:08.660
 be in a grave

00:29:08.660 --> 00:29:09.519
 because I want

00:29:09.519 --> 00:29:10.120
 you to see here

00:29:10.120 --> 00:29:10.759
 also something

00:29:10.759 --> 00:29:11.440
 very important

00:29:11.440 --> 00:29:12.539
 because her motive

00:29:12.539 --> 00:29:13.880
 and her actions

00:29:13.880 --> 00:29:15.000
 made a difference

00:29:15.000 --> 00:29:16.059
 in eternity

00:29:16.059 --> 00:29:18.119
 Jesus

00:29:18.119 --> 00:29:18.419
 notice

00:29:18.419 --> 00:29:18.679
 he said

00:29:18.679 --> 00:29:19.159
 wherever the

00:29:19.159 --> 00:29:20.279
 gospel's preached

00:29:20.279 --> 00:29:21.019
 what she did

00:29:21.019 --> 00:29:21.399
 is going to be

00:29:21.399 --> 00:29:22.119
 spoken of

00:29:22.119 --> 00:29:24.440
 now we already

00:29:24.440 --> 00:29:25.000
 learned here

00:29:25.000 --> 00:29:25.639
 a few weeks ago

00:29:25.639 --> 00:29:26.220
 God's word

00:29:26.220 --> 00:29:27.079
 doesn't pass away

00:29:27.079 --> 00:29:27.559
 in other words

00:29:27.559 --> 00:29:28.619
 this event

00:29:28.619 --> 00:29:29.799
 is memorialized

00:29:29.799 --> 00:29:30.659
 in God's word

00:29:30.659 --> 00:29:31.319
 for eternity

00:29:31.319 --> 00:29:34.119
 but it also

00:29:34.119 --> 00:29:35.159
 gives us a picture

00:29:35.159 --> 00:29:35.960
 to consider

00:29:35.960 --> 00:29:37.319
 the reality

00:29:37.319 --> 00:29:38.379
 of what we do

00:29:38.379 --> 00:29:39.259
 has an internal

00:29:39.259 --> 00:29:39.819
 impact

00:29:39.819 --> 00:29:42.059
 the choices

00:29:42.059 --> 00:29:42.819
 we make

00:29:42.819 --> 00:29:43.359
 you know

00:29:43.359 --> 00:29:44.539
 consider 1 Corinthians

00:29:44.539 --> 00:29:45.359
 chapter 3

00:29:45.359 --> 00:29:46.439
 when it talks

00:29:46.439 --> 00:29:47.099
 about the things

00:29:47.099 --> 00:29:47.439
 that we do

00:29:47.439 --> 00:29:48.000
 if any man's

00:29:48.000 --> 00:29:48.639
 work abide

00:29:48.639 --> 00:29:49.500
 which he built

00:29:49.500 --> 00:29:49.899
 thereon

00:29:49.899 --> 00:29:50.619
 he shall receive

00:29:50.619 --> 00:29:51.279
 a reward

00:29:51.279 --> 00:29:52.279
 if any man's

00:29:52.279 --> 00:29:52.839
 work shall be

00:29:52.839 --> 00:29:53.179
 burned

00:29:53.179 --> 00:29:53.839
 he shall suffer

00:29:53.839 --> 00:29:54.240
 loss

00:29:54.240 --> 00:29:55.039
 but he himself

00:29:55.039 --> 00:29:56.220
 shall be saved

00:29:56.220 --> 00:29:57.200
 yet so by fire

00:29:57.200 --> 00:29:57.859
 I want you

00:29:57.859 --> 00:29:58.220
 to understand

00:29:58.220 --> 00:29:59.079
 God judges

00:29:59.079 --> 00:29:59.679
 the motive

00:29:59.680 --> 00:30:00.860
 of your work

00:30:00.860 --> 00:30:02.480
 if you study

00:30:02.480 --> 00:30:03.180
 this passage

00:30:03.180 --> 00:30:03.840
 it talks about

00:30:03.840 --> 00:30:04.920
 wood, hay, and stubble

00:30:04.920 --> 00:30:05.620
 we can do a lot

00:30:05.620 --> 00:30:06.680
 of wood, hay, and stubble

00:30:06.680 --> 00:30:10.180
 instead of gold, silver

00:30:10.180 --> 00:30:11.140
 and precious stones

00:30:11.140 --> 00:30:11.680
 that endure

00:30:11.680 --> 00:30:12.840
 and the difference

00:30:12.840 --> 00:30:14.100
 if you read that passage

00:30:14.100 --> 00:30:14.880
 you'll find out

00:30:14.880 --> 00:30:15.460
 has attached

00:30:15.460 --> 00:30:16.120
 very greatly

00:30:16.120 --> 00:30:16.620
 the motive

00:30:16.620 --> 00:30:17.299
 behind why

00:30:17.299 --> 00:30:18.000
 you're doing something

00:30:18.000 --> 00:30:18.779
 are you doing it

00:30:18.779 --> 00:30:19.360
 for the Lord

00:30:19.360 --> 00:30:19.940
 or are you doing it

00:30:19.940 --> 00:30:20.779
 for somebody else

00:30:20.779 --> 00:30:23.019
 what's the motive

00:30:23.019 --> 00:30:24.220
 behind what you do

00:30:24.220 --> 00:30:24.779
 because you can do

00:30:24.779 --> 00:30:25.420
 the right thing

00:30:25.420 --> 00:30:26.259
 for the wrong reasons

00:30:26.259 --> 00:30:26.920
 still be wrong

00:30:26.920 --> 00:30:27.920
 other people might

00:30:27.920 --> 00:30:28.880
 look at it as right

00:30:28.880 --> 00:30:29.620
 but if your motive

00:30:29.619 --> 00:30:30.239
 behind it

00:30:30.239 --> 00:30:30.859
 isn't right

00:30:30.859 --> 00:30:32.739
 there's still a problem

00:30:32.739 --> 00:30:35.679
 there's an issue there

00:30:35.679 --> 00:30:36.619
 you know

00:30:36.619 --> 00:30:37.459
 Mary's motive

00:30:37.459 --> 00:30:38.259
 was manifest

00:30:38.259 --> 00:30:39.059
 in her love

00:30:39.059 --> 00:30:39.679
 for the Lord

00:30:39.679 --> 00:30:40.939
 outweighing

00:30:40.939 --> 00:30:42.000
 everything else

00:30:42.000 --> 00:30:42.959
 because she was

00:30:42.959 --> 00:30:43.559
 living out

00:30:43.559 --> 00:30:44.739
 the greatest commandment

00:30:44.739 --> 00:30:45.779
 where it tells us

00:30:45.779 --> 00:30:46.259
 that thou shalt

00:30:46.259 --> 00:30:46.839
 love the Lord

00:30:46.839 --> 00:30:47.359
 thy God

00:30:47.359 --> 00:30:48.199
 with all thy heart

00:30:48.199 --> 00:30:49.019
 with all thy soul

00:30:49.019 --> 00:30:49.879
 with all thy mind

00:30:49.879 --> 00:30:50.859
 and with all thy strength

00:30:50.859 --> 00:30:52.619
 this is the first commandment

00:30:52.619 --> 00:30:53.539
 I think we can look

00:30:53.539 --> 00:30:54.159
 at this and say

00:30:54.159 --> 00:30:54.839
 Mary said

00:30:54.839 --> 00:30:55.279
 God

00:30:55.279 --> 00:30:56.539
 you're first

00:30:56.539 --> 00:30:59.059
 I'm loving you

00:30:59.059 --> 00:31:00.200
 with all that

00:31:00.200 --> 00:31:01.259
 I have

00:31:01.259 --> 00:31:02.500
 and I don't care

00:31:02.500 --> 00:31:03.319
 what somebody else

00:31:03.319 --> 00:31:04.099
 thinks about it

00:31:04.099 --> 00:31:05.299
 Mary made a statement

00:31:05.299 --> 00:31:07.000
 about his worthiness

00:31:07.000 --> 00:31:08.000
 to be worshipped

00:31:08.000 --> 00:31:08.700
 and served

00:31:08.700 --> 00:31:09.480
 and her commitment

00:31:09.480 --> 00:31:10.200
 was clear

00:31:10.200 --> 00:31:12.980
 we know that her motive

00:31:12.980 --> 00:31:14.559
 was the right motive

00:31:14.559 --> 00:31:16.619
 her motive

00:31:16.619 --> 00:31:17.839
 was because she loved

00:31:17.839 --> 00:31:18.339
 the Lord

00:31:18.339 --> 00:31:18.940
 she said

00:31:18.940 --> 00:31:19.519
 I don't care

00:31:19.519 --> 00:31:20.220
 what somebody else

00:31:20.220 --> 00:31:21.059
 thinks about it

00:31:21.059 --> 00:31:23.480
 my motive

00:31:23.480 --> 00:31:23.960
 is because

00:31:23.960 --> 00:31:24.319
 I'm going to

00:31:24.319 --> 00:31:25.039
 serve the Lord

00:31:25.039 --> 00:31:26.819
 so we have

00:31:26.819 --> 00:31:27.259
 the motive

00:31:27.259 --> 00:31:27.899
 of the leaders

00:31:27.899 --> 00:31:28.379
 and we have

00:31:28.379 --> 00:31:28.919
 the motives

00:31:28.919 --> 00:31:29.519
 of Mary

00:31:29.519 --> 00:31:30.740
 but we're going

00:31:30.740 --> 00:31:31.259
 to look also

00:31:31.259 --> 00:31:32.319
 because this passage

00:31:32.319 --> 00:31:33.359
 ties in the motive

00:31:33.359 --> 00:31:34.500
 of a man called Judas

00:31:34.500 --> 00:31:35.379
 now Judas

00:31:35.379 --> 00:31:36.000
 is a

00:31:36.000 --> 00:31:38.319
 unique character

00:31:38.319 --> 00:31:38.919
 to scripture

00:31:38.919 --> 00:31:40.259
 in a few senses

00:31:40.259 --> 00:31:40.879
 because

00:31:40.879 --> 00:31:43.079
 he's spoken of

00:31:43.079 --> 00:31:43.980
 in the Old Testament

00:31:43.980 --> 00:31:45.039
 not by name

00:31:45.039 --> 00:31:45.879
 but as one

00:31:45.879 --> 00:31:46.259
 that was going

00:31:46.259 --> 00:31:46.839
 to betray

00:31:46.839 --> 00:31:49.019
 the Lord

00:31:49.019 --> 00:31:49.480
 these things

00:31:49.480 --> 00:31:50.119
 are foretold

00:31:50.119 --> 00:31:50.879
 what's going to happen

00:31:50.880 --> 00:31:52.000
 he's fulfilling

00:31:52.000 --> 00:31:53.040
 his life

00:31:53.040 --> 00:31:53.640
 is fulfilling

00:31:53.640 --> 00:31:54.260
 prophecy

00:31:54.260 --> 00:31:55.160
 in a bad sense

00:31:55.160 --> 00:31:55.880
 now Mark

00:31:55.880 --> 00:31:57.220
 doesn't mention

00:31:57.220 --> 00:31:58.180
 who declared

00:31:58.180 --> 00:31:58.960
 the act

00:31:58.960 --> 00:31:59.740
 was wasteful

00:31:59.740 --> 00:32:00.660
 John does

00:32:00.660 --> 00:32:02.160
 because let's look

00:32:02.160 --> 00:32:02.660
 first here

00:32:02.660 --> 00:32:04.240
 in verse 4

00:32:04.240 --> 00:32:05.400
 of Mark

00:32:05.400 --> 00:32:06.220
 chapter 14

00:32:06.220 --> 00:32:06.660
 it says

00:32:06.660 --> 00:32:07.060
 and there were

00:32:07.060 --> 00:32:07.700
 some that had

00:32:07.700 --> 00:32:08.520
 indignation

00:32:08.520 --> 00:32:09.460
 within themselves

00:32:09.460 --> 00:32:10.220
 and said

00:32:10.220 --> 00:32:11.040
 why was this

00:32:11.040 --> 00:32:11.720
 waste of the

00:32:11.720 --> 00:32:12.180
 ointment

00:32:12.180 --> 00:32:13.060
 made

00:32:13.060 --> 00:32:15.880
 now John 12

00:32:15.880 --> 00:32:16.500
 tells us

00:32:16.500 --> 00:32:17.240
 that one of

00:32:17.240 --> 00:32:17.900
 the disciples

00:32:17.900 --> 00:32:18.900
 Judas Iscariot

00:32:18.900 --> 00:32:19.720
 Simon's son

00:32:19.720 --> 00:32:20.539
 which should

00:32:20.539 --> 00:32:21.319
 betray him

00:32:21.319 --> 00:32:22.259
 why was

00:32:22.259 --> 00:32:22.980
 this ointment

00:32:22.980 --> 00:32:23.539
 sold for

00:32:23.539 --> 00:32:23.839
 three

00:32:23.839 --> 00:32:24.600
 not

00:32:24.600 --> 00:32:25.900
 this ointment

00:32:25.900 --> 00:32:26.420
 sold for

00:32:26.420 --> 00:32:26.920
 three hundred

00:32:26.920 --> 00:32:27.360
 pence

00:32:27.360 --> 00:32:27.799
 and given

00:32:27.799 --> 00:32:28.440
 to the poor

00:32:28.440 --> 00:32:29.799
 he said this

00:32:29.799 --> 00:32:30.400
 not that he

00:32:30.400 --> 00:32:31.019
 cared for the

00:32:31.019 --> 00:32:31.299
 poor

00:32:31.299 --> 00:32:32.360
 but because

00:32:32.360 --> 00:32:33.200
 he was a

00:32:33.200 --> 00:32:33.519
 thief

00:32:33.519 --> 00:32:33.940
 and had

00:32:33.940 --> 00:32:34.500
 the bag

00:32:34.500 --> 00:32:35.339
 and bear

00:32:35.339 --> 00:32:35.680
 what was

00:32:35.680 --> 00:32:36.559
 put therein

00:32:36.559 --> 00:32:39.220
 John gives

00:32:39.220 --> 00:32:39.839
 us the motive

00:32:39.839 --> 00:32:40.620
 behind his

00:32:40.620 --> 00:32:41.279
 indignation

00:32:41.279 --> 00:32:44.339
 John reveals

00:32:44.339 --> 00:32:45.100
 the motive

00:32:45.100 --> 00:32:45.620
 you know

00:32:45.620 --> 00:32:46.259
 it's interesting

00:32:46.259 --> 00:32:47.140
 here because

00:32:47.140 --> 00:32:47.960
 Judas is

00:32:47.960 --> 00:32:48.700
 acting very

00:32:48.700 --> 00:32:49.599
 self-righteously

00:32:49.599 --> 00:32:51.819
 he's like

00:32:51.819 --> 00:32:52.220
 guys

00:32:52.220 --> 00:32:53.879
 that was

00:32:53.879 --> 00:32:54.339
 horrible

00:32:54.339 --> 00:32:54.779
 that she

00:32:54.779 --> 00:32:55.379
 wasted

00:32:55.379 --> 00:32:56.720
 a year's

00:32:56.720 --> 00:32:57.160
 salary

00:32:57.160 --> 00:32:58.859
 it could

00:32:58.859 --> 00:32:59.119
 have been

00:32:59.119 --> 00:32:59.839
 sold and

00:32:59.839 --> 00:33:00.220
 given to

00:33:00.220 --> 00:33:00.759
 the poor

00:33:00.759 --> 00:33:01.779
 sounds good

00:33:01.779 --> 00:33:02.379
 well look at

00:33:02.379 --> 00:33:02.779
 his motive

00:33:02.779 --> 00:33:03.140
 he's just

00:33:03.140 --> 00:33:03.619
 looking out

00:33:03.619 --> 00:33:04.259
 for others

00:33:04.259 --> 00:33:06.559
 that's what

00:33:06.559 --> 00:33:07.000
 it looked like

00:33:07.000 --> 00:33:07.700
 on the outside

00:33:07.700 --> 00:33:08.279
 but what was

00:33:08.279 --> 00:33:08.819
 his motive

00:33:08.819 --> 00:33:09.619
 if motive

00:33:09.619 --> 00:33:10.920
 was I need

00:33:10.920 --> 00:33:11.559
 to manipulate

00:33:11.559 --> 00:33:12.160
 this

00:33:12.160 --> 00:33:13.380
 because of

00:33:13.380 --> 00:33:13.660
 what I

00:33:13.660 --> 00:33:14.019
 want

00:33:14.019 --> 00:33:16.279
 of what

00:33:16.279 --> 00:33:16.960
 I desire

00:33:16.960 --> 00:33:17.580
 he was

00:33:17.580 --> 00:33:18.040
 acting

00:33:18.040 --> 00:33:18.940
 self-righteous

00:33:18.940 --> 00:33:19.320
 like he

00:33:19.320 --> 00:33:19.800
 was looking

00:33:19.800 --> 00:33:20.300
 out for

00:33:20.300 --> 00:33:20.759
 the needs

00:33:20.759 --> 00:33:21.279
 of others

00:33:21.279 --> 00:33:22.480
 the poor

00:33:22.480 --> 00:33:22.860
 could have

00:33:22.860 --> 00:33:23.480
 used that

00:33:23.480 --> 00:33:24.340
 but you

00:33:24.340 --> 00:33:24.560
 know

00:33:24.560 --> 00:33:26.320
 as I was

00:33:26.320 --> 00:33:26.840
 thinking through

00:33:26.840 --> 00:33:27.220
 this I

00:33:27.220 --> 00:33:27.720
 thought about

00:33:27.720 --> 00:33:28.640
 many charities

00:33:28.640 --> 00:33:29.180
 today are

00:33:29.180 --> 00:33:29.600
 kind of like

00:33:29.600 --> 00:33:30.140
 Judas's

00:33:30.140 --> 00:33:32.100
 you know

00:33:32.100 --> 00:33:34.019
 I'll just

00:33:34.019 --> 00:33:34.340
 give you

00:33:34.340 --> 00:33:35.000
 we'll take a

00:33:35.000 --> 00:33:35.580
 side note here

00:33:35.580 --> 00:33:36.060
 for a moment

00:33:36.060 --> 00:33:36.440
 and tell you

00:33:36.440 --> 00:33:37.000
 be careful

00:33:37.000 --> 00:33:37.380
 who you give

00:33:37.380 --> 00:33:37.860
 money to

00:33:37.860 --> 00:33:39.480
 because they

00:33:39.480 --> 00:33:40.160
 might sound

00:33:40.160 --> 00:33:40.540
 good

00:33:40.540 --> 00:33:41.040
 there's a lot

00:33:41.040 --> 00:33:41.700
 of Judas's

00:33:41.700 --> 00:33:42.140
 who sound

00:33:42.140 --> 00:33:42.440
 good

00:33:42.440 --> 00:33:43.039
 but all

00:33:43.039 --> 00:33:43.200
 they're

00:33:43.200 --> 00:33:43.759
 looking for

00:33:43.759 --> 00:33:44.100
 is not

00:33:44.100 --> 00:33:44.580
 the benefit

00:33:44.580 --> 00:33:44.980
 of others

00:33:44.980 --> 00:33:45.380
 they're looking

00:33:45.380 --> 00:33:45.940
 for how deep

00:33:45.940 --> 00:33:46.519
 they can grab

00:33:46.519 --> 00:33:47.019
 in the bag

00:33:47.019 --> 00:33:47.740
 let me tell you

00:33:47.740 --> 00:33:48.080
 there's a lot

00:33:48.080 --> 00:33:48.500
 of charities

00:33:48.500 --> 00:33:48.980
 today if you

00:33:48.980 --> 00:33:49.539
 do your research

00:33:49.539 --> 00:33:50.140
 you'll find out

00:33:50.140 --> 00:33:50.400
 they're not

00:33:50.400 --> 00:33:50.960
 very good

00:33:50.960 --> 00:33:52.400
 there's a lot

00:33:52.400 --> 00:33:52.819
 of Judas

00:33:52.819 --> 00:33:53.620
 charities out

00:33:53.620 --> 00:33:54.039
 there

00:33:54.039 --> 00:33:55.779
 you know

00:33:55.779 --> 00:33:56.059
 when they

00:33:56.059 --> 00:33:56.740
 spend 90

00:33:56.740 --> 00:33:59.180
 to 95%

00:33:59.180 --> 00:34:00.660
 on administration

00:34:00.660 --> 00:34:01.440
 and 5%

00:34:01.440 --> 00:34:01.840
 doing what

00:34:01.840 --> 00:34:02.200
 they're doing

00:34:02.200 --> 00:34:02.920
 I'd call that

00:34:02.920 --> 00:34:03.319
 a Judas

00:34:03.319 --> 00:34:03.880
 ministry

00:34:03.880 --> 00:34:04.180
 amen

00:34:04.180 --> 00:34:06.580
 they're looking

00:34:06.580 --> 00:34:06.960
 at how far

00:34:06.960 --> 00:34:07.460
 they can dip

00:34:07.460 --> 00:34:08.019
 in the bag

00:34:08.019 --> 00:34:09.500
 side note

00:34:09.500 --> 00:34:10.019
 but something

00:34:10.019 --> 00:34:10.539
 to be attentive

00:34:10.539 --> 00:34:11.260
 to

00:34:11.699 --> 00:34:13.099
 because

00:34:13.099 --> 00:34:13.659
 just because

00:34:13.659 --> 00:34:14.599
 something sounds

00:34:14.599 --> 00:34:15.179
 good doesn't

00:34:15.179 --> 00:34:15.879
 mean it is

00:34:15.879 --> 00:34:16.679
 we need to be

00:34:16.679 --> 00:34:17.480
 careful because

00:34:17.480 --> 00:34:18.139
 Judas

00:34:18.139 --> 00:34:19.239
 I want you to

00:34:19.239 --> 00:34:20.079
 realize Judas

00:34:20.079 --> 00:34:21.179
 fooled everybody

00:34:21.179 --> 00:34:21.899
 but Jesus

00:34:21.899 --> 00:34:24.139
 you ever thought

00:34:24.139 --> 00:34:24.759
 about that

00:34:24.759 --> 00:34:26.639
 Judas

00:34:26.639 --> 00:34:27.399
 fooled

00:34:27.399 --> 00:34:28.219
 everybody

00:34:28.219 --> 00:34:29.079
 but Jesus

00:34:29.079 --> 00:34:30.019
 when Jesus

00:34:30.019 --> 00:34:30.619
 said one at

00:34:30.619 --> 00:34:31.099
 the table

00:34:31.099 --> 00:34:31.419
 is going to

00:34:31.419 --> 00:34:31.839
 betray

00:34:31.839 --> 00:34:32.899
 me

00:34:32.899 --> 00:34:33.460
 not everybody

00:34:33.460 --> 00:34:33.859
 looked

00:34:33.859 --> 00:34:34.179
 you know

00:34:34.179 --> 00:34:35.559
 they didn't

00:34:35.559 --> 00:34:35.899
 look down

00:34:35.899 --> 00:34:36.439
 the table

00:34:36.439 --> 00:34:37.279
 what did they

00:34:37.279 --> 00:34:37.460
 do

00:34:37.460 --> 00:34:37.859
 they looked

00:34:37.859 --> 00:34:38.139
 at even

00:34:38.139 --> 00:34:38.699
 themselves

00:34:38.699 --> 00:34:39.139
 is it

00:34:39.139 --> 00:34:39.399
 I

00:34:39.399 --> 00:34:39.819
 you know

00:34:39.819 --> 00:34:40.059
 what that

00:34:40.059 --> 00:34:40.559
 tells us

00:34:40.559 --> 00:34:41.339
 that Judas

00:34:41.339 --> 00:34:43.779
 had everybody

00:34:43.779 --> 00:34:44.199
 fooled

00:34:44.199 --> 00:34:44.879
 matter of fact

00:34:44.879 --> 00:34:45.319
 it might have

00:34:45.319 --> 00:34:45.719
 been one of

00:34:45.719 --> 00:34:46.079
 them as they

00:34:46.079 --> 00:34:46.379
 were looking

00:34:46.379 --> 00:34:46.819
 around the

00:34:46.819 --> 00:34:47.139
 table

00:34:47.139 --> 00:34:47.419
 they were

00:34:47.419 --> 00:34:47.679
 going

00:34:47.679 --> 00:34:48.239
 well maybe

00:34:48.239 --> 00:34:48.399
 it's

00:34:48.399 --> 00:34:48.819
 Bartholome

00:34:48.819 --> 00:34:49.119
 maybe

00:34:49.119 --> 00:34:49.299
 it's

00:34:49.299 --> 00:34:50.299
 Judas

00:34:50.299 --> 00:34:50.819
 no I'm

00:34:50.819 --> 00:34:51.019
 probably

00:34:51.019 --> 00:34:51.219
 not

00:34:51.219 --> 00:34:51.519
 Judas

00:34:51.519 --> 00:34:52.079
 but we

00:34:52.079 --> 00:34:52.719
 find out

00:34:52.719 --> 00:34:53.039
 that even

00:34:53.039 --> 00:34:53.359
 though he

00:34:53.359 --> 00:34:53.839
 looked good

00:34:53.839 --> 00:34:54.159
 on the

00:34:54.159 --> 00:34:54.579
 outside

00:34:54.579 --> 00:34:55.519
 his motives

00:34:55.519 --> 00:34:56.139
 were wrong

00:34:56.139 --> 00:34:56.399
 on the

00:34:56.399 --> 00:34:56.899
 inside

00:34:56.899 --> 00:34:59.039
 and his

00:34:59.039 --> 00:34:59.779
 influence

00:34:59.779 --> 00:35:00.480
 was such

00:35:00.480 --> 00:35:01.699
 that nobody

00:35:01.699 --> 00:35:02.199
 thought

00:35:02.199 --> 00:35:03.579
 that his

00:35:03.579 --> 00:35:04.099
 motives

00:35:04.099 --> 00:35:04.599
 were not

00:35:04.599 --> 00:35:05.000
 right

00:35:05.000 --> 00:35:05.799
 matter of

00:35:05.800 --> 00:35:06.160
 fact he

00:35:06.160 --> 00:35:06.600
 caused

00:35:06.600 --> 00:35:07.100
 others

00:35:07.100 --> 00:35:07.440
 to get

00:35:07.440 --> 00:35:07.720
 upset

00:35:07.720 --> 00:35:08.200
 with him

00:35:08.200 --> 00:35:08.640
 you know

00:35:08.640 --> 00:35:09.220
 this sometimes

00:35:09.220 --> 00:35:09.660
 happens

00:35:09.660 --> 00:35:10.160
 people get

00:35:10.160 --> 00:35:10.519
 upset

00:35:10.519 --> 00:35:11.140
 about things

00:35:11.140 --> 00:35:11.720
 because somebody

00:35:11.720 --> 00:35:11.960
 else

00:35:11.960 --> 00:35:12.860
 well I think

00:35:12.860 --> 00:35:13.180
 they got

00:35:13.180 --> 00:35:13.519
 the right

00:35:13.519 --> 00:35:13.840
 motive

00:35:13.840 --> 00:35:14.240
 you better

00:35:14.240 --> 00:35:14.700
 check and

00:35:14.700 --> 00:35:15.039
 see if it

00:35:15.039 --> 00:35:15.519
 is right

00:35:15.519 --> 00:35:16.539
 because Judas

00:35:16.539 --> 00:35:17.120
 his motive

00:35:17.120 --> 00:35:17.660
 here was

00:35:17.660 --> 00:35:18.260
 nothing but

00:35:18.260 --> 00:35:18.960
 about himself

00:35:18.960 --> 00:35:19.700
 he had a

00:35:19.700 --> 00:35:20.200
 motive that

00:35:20.200 --> 00:35:20.660
 looked good

00:35:20.660 --> 00:35:20.960
 on the

00:35:20.960 --> 00:35:21.380
 outside

00:35:21.380 --> 00:35:21.920
 but a

00:35:21.920 --> 00:35:22.240
 motive

00:35:22.240 --> 00:35:22.760
 that was

00:35:22.760 --> 00:35:23.220
 twisted

00:35:23.220 --> 00:35:24.200
 and wicked

00:35:24.200 --> 00:35:24.539
 on the

00:35:24.539 --> 00:35:25.060
 inside

00:35:25.060 --> 00:35:25.580
 others

00:35:25.580 --> 00:35:26.080
 joined

00:35:26.080 --> 00:35:26.640
 with him

00:35:26.640 --> 00:35:27.519
 his influence

00:35:27.519 --> 00:35:28.760
 was such

00:35:28.760 --> 00:35:29.460
 over them

00:35:29.460 --> 00:35:29.980
 and you

00:35:29.980 --> 00:35:30.060
 know

00:35:30.060 --> 00:35:30.440
 it ought to

00:35:30.440 --> 00:35:31.100
 stand as a

00:35:31.100 --> 00:35:31.480
 warning

00:35:31.480 --> 00:35:32.539
 to us

00:35:32.539 --> 00:35:33.080
 this morning

00:35:33.080 --> 00:35:33.460
 that the

00:35:33.460 --> 00:35:34.100
 only one

00:35:34.100 --> 00:35:34.400
 that can

00:35:34.400 --> 00:35:35.240
 identify the

00:35:35.240 --> 00:35:35.620
 motive

00:35:35.619 --> 00:35:37.019
 is ourselves

00:35:37.019 --> 00:35:37.539
 and that's

00:35:37.539 --> 00:35:38.420
 only sometimes

00:35:38.420 --> 00:35:39.440
 because I

00:35:39.440 --> 00:35:39.900
 want you to

00:35:39.900 --> 00:35:40.440
 understand

00:35:40.440 --> 00:35:40.980
 the Bible

00:35:40.980 --> 00:35:41.579
 tells us

00:35:41.579 --> 00:35:41.940
 and makes

00:35:41.940 --> 00:35:42.259
 it very

00:35:42.259 --> 00:35:42.679
 clear

00:35:42.679 --> 00:35:43.960
 that there's

00:35:43.960 --> 00:35:44.119
 some

00:35:44.119 --> 00:35:44.619
 betrayal

00:35:44.619 --> 00:35:45.339
 even within

00:35:45.339 --> 00:35:45.900
 ourselves

00:35:45.900 --> 00:35:46.719
 because we

00:35:46.719 --> 00:35:47.299
 see Judas

00:35:47.299 --> 00:35:48.019
 do something

00:35:48.019 --> 00:35:48.739
 here after

00:35:48.739 --> 00:35:49.099
 this

00:35:49.099 --> 00:35:49.779
 the Bible

00:35:49.779 --> 00:35:50.400
 tells us

00:35:50.400 --> 00:35:50.639
 look at

00:35:50.639 --> 00:35:51.119
 what Judas

00:35:51.119 --> 00:35:51.440
 did

00:35:51.440 --> 00:35:51.799
 look at

00:35:51.799 --> 00:35:52.400
 verse 10

00:35:52.400 --> 00:35:53.739
 and Judas

00:35:53.739 --> 00:35:54.319
 Iscariot

00:35:54.319 --> 00:35:54.719
 one of the

00:35:54.719 --> 00:35:55.059
 twelve

00:35:55.059 --> 00:35:55.480
 went unto

00:35:55.480 --> 00:35:55.940
 the chief

00:35:55.940 --> 00:35:56.279
 priest

00:35:56.279 --> 00:35:56.779
 to betray

00:35:56.779 --> 00:35:57.059
 him

00:35:57.059 --> 00:35:57.559
 unto them

00:35:57.559 --> 00:35:58.380
 now have

00:35:58.380 --> 00:35:58.599
 you ever

00:35:58.599 --> 00:35:58.880
 wondered

00:35:58.880 --> 00:35:59.359
 why did

00:35:59.359 --> 00:35:59.679
 Judas

00:35:59.679 --> 00:36:00.039
 go to

00:36:00.039 --> 00:36:00.380
 the chief

00:36:00.380 --> 00:36:00.779
 priest

00:36:00.779 --> 00:36:01.359
 go back

00:36:01.359 --> 00:36:01.739
 to John

00:36:01.739 --> 00:36:02.400
 chapter 11

00:36:02.400 --> 00:36:02.719
 for a

00:36:02.719 --> 00:36:02.960
 moment

00:36:02.960 --> 00:36:04.980
 John

00:36:04.980 --> 00:36:05.740
 chapter 11

00:36:05.740 --> 00:36:06.099
 and verse

00:36:06.099 --> 00:36:06.800
 57

00:36:06.800 --> 00:36:08.639
 gives us

00:36:08.639 --> 00:36:09.179
 the answer

00:36:09.179 --> 00:36:10.920
 why did

00:36:10.920 --> 00:36:11.300
 Judas

00:36:11.300 --> 00:36:12.119
 know he

00:36:12.119 --> 00:36:12.599
 could go

00:36:12.599 --> 00:36:12.960
 to the

00:36:12.960 --> 00:36:13.199
 chief

00:36:13.199 --> 00:36:13.559
 priest

00:36:13.559 --> 00:36:13.840
 and the

00:36:13.840 --> 00:36:14.280
 scribes

00:36:14.280 --> 00:36:15.300
 verse 57

00:36:15.300 --> 00:36:15.800
 says and

00:36:15.800 --> 00:36:16.260
 now both

00:36:16.260 --> 00:36:16.679
 the chief

00:36:16.679 --> 00:36:17.179
 priest and

00:36:17.179 --> 00:36:17.740
 the Pharisees

00:36:17.740 --> 00:36:18.119
 had given

00:36:18.119 --> 00:36:18.740
 a commandment

00:36:18.740 --> 00:36:19.500
 that if any

00:36:19.500 --> 00:36:19.940
 man knew

00:36:19.940 --> 00:36:20.840
 where he

00:36:20.840 --> 00:36:21.460
 were he

00:36:21.460 --> 00:36:22.019
 could show

00:36:22.019 --> 00:36:22.539
 it and they

00:36:22.539 --> 00:36:23.139
 might take

00:36:23.139 --> 00:36:23.639
 him in other

00:36:23.639 --> 00:36:24.400
 words that

00:36:24.400 --> 00:36:24.960
 chief

00:36:24.960 --> 00:36:25.639
 priest and

00:36:25.639 --> 00:36:26.220
 the scribes

00:36:26.220 --> 00:36:26.760
 had put out

00:36:26.760 --> 00:36:27.280
 a memo

00:36:27.280 --> 00:36:28.579
 a big poster

00:36:28.579 --> 00:36:29.099
 or whatever

00:36:29.099 --> 00:36:29.780
 it was

00:36:29.780 --> 00:36:30.440
 and said

00:36:30.440 --> 00:36:30.840
 hey if

00:36:30.840 --> 00:36:31.420
 anybody's

00:36:31.420 --> 00:36:31.780
 willing to

00:36:31.780 --> 00:36:32.140
 betray

00:36:32.140 --> 00:36:33.980
 Jesus

00:36:33.980 --> 00:36:34.600
 so that

00:36:34.600 --> 00:36:35.100
 we might

00:36:35.100 --> 00:36:36.200
 take him

00:36:36.200 --> 00:36:37.040
 by craft

00:36:37.040 --> 00:36:37.660
 or trickery

00:36:37.660 --> 00:36:38.040
 that's not

00:36:38.040 --> 00:36:38.340
 what the

00:36:38.340 --> 00:36:38.940
 sign said

00:36:38.940 --> 00:36:39.320
 but that's

00:36:39.320 --> 00:36:39.600
 what their

00:36:39.600 --> 00:36:40.420
 intent was

00:36:40.420 --> 00:36:40.980
 Judas

00:36:40.980 --> 00:36:41.620
 apparently

00:36:41.620 --> 00:36:42.160
 heard about

00:36:42.160 --> 00:36:42.380
 it

00:36:42.380 --> 00:36:42.940
 because we

00:36:42.940 --> 00:36:43.420
 know what

00:36:43.420 --> 00:36:43.900
 did Judas

00:36:43.900 --> 00:36:44.360
 do he

00:36:44.360 --> 00:36:44.800
 went and

00:36:44.800 --> 00:36:45.100
 made a

00:36:45.100 --> 00:36:45.400
 deal

00:36:45.400 --> 00:36:46.280
 he betrayed

00:36:46.280 --> 00:36:47.060
 Jesus for

00:36:47.060 --> 00:36:47.740
 30 pieces

00:36:47.740 --> 00:36:48.300
 of silver

00:36:48.300 --> 00:36:49.160
 something that

00:36:49.160 --> 00:36:49.740
 matched up

00:36:49.740 --> 00:36:50.060
 with his

00:36:50.060 --> 00:36:50.360
 motive

00:36:50.360 --> 00:36:52.980
 he was

00:36:52.980 --> 00:36:53.620
 upset he

00:36:53.620 --> 00:36:53.920
 couldn't

00:36:53.920 --> 00:36:54.440
 dip into

00:36:54.440 --> 00:36:55.000
 the 300

00:36:55.000 --> 00:36:55.740
 pennies worth

00:36:55.740 --> 00:36:57.060
 of selling

00:36:57.060 --> 00:36:57.500
 it to give

00:36:57.500 --> 00:36:58.060
 to the poor

00:36:58.060 --> 00:36:58.800
 and we see

00:36:58.800 --> 00:36:59.100
 he was

00:36:59.100 --> 00:36:59.560
 looking

00:36:59.559 --> 00:37:00.860
 for himself

00:37:00.860 --> 00:37:03.340
 perhaps his

00:37:03.340 --> 00:37:03.980
 feelings were

00:37:03.980 --> 00:37:04.400
 hurt when

00:37:04.400 --> 00:37:05.460
 Jesus rebuked

00:37:05.460 --> 00:37:05.639
 him

00:37:05.639 --> 00:37:06.799
 you know

00:37:06.799 --> 00:37:07.779
 think about

00:37:07.779 --> 00:37:08.099
 that when

00:37:08.099 --> 00:37:08.820
 Jesus turned

00:37:08.820 --> 00:37:09.119
 and looked

00:37:09.119 --> 00:37:09.380
 who did

00:37:09.380 --> 00:37:09.920
 Jesus look

00:37:09.920 --> 00:37:10.259
 at and say

00:37:10.259 --> 00:37:10.639
 leave her

00:37:10.639 --> 00:37:10.920
 alone

00:37:10.920 --> 00:37:11.219
 who was

00:37:11.219 --> 00:37:11.619
 he speaking

00:37:11.619 --> 00:37:11.960
 to

00:37:11.960 --> 00:37:12.659
 Judas

00:37:12.659 --> 00:37:13.159
 you know

00:37:13.159 --> 00:37:13.539
 one way

00:37:13.539 --> 00:37:14.019
 I found

00:37:14.019 --> 00:37:14.320
 over the

00:37:14.320 --> 00:37:14.699
 course of

00:37:14.699 --> 00:37:15.179
 time that

00:37:15.179 --> 00:37:15.880
 when you

00:37:15.880 --> 00:37:16.299
 rebuke

00:37:16.299 --> 00:37:16.759
 somebody

00:37:16.759 --> 00:37:17.179
 even if

00:37:17.179 --> 00:37:17.639
 you're

00:37:17.639 --> 00:37:18.079
 right in

00:37:18.079 --> 00:37:18.420
 what you're

00:37:18.420 --> 00:37:18.699
 doing in

00:37:18.699 --> 00:37:19.119
 the rebuke

00:37:19.119 --> 00:37:19.360
 sometimes

00:37:19.360 --> 00:37:19.799
 people get

00:37:19.799 --> 00:37:20.199
 upset

00:37:20.199 --> 00:37:23.539
 sometimes we

00:37:23.539 --> 00:37:24.000
 get upset

00:37:24.000 --> 00:37:24.340
 we get

00:37:24.340 --> 00:37:24.779
 rebuked

00:37:24.779 --> 00:37:25.099
 but when

00:37:25.099 --> 00:37:25.299
 you get

00:37:25.299 --> 00:37:25.799
 rebuked

00:37:25.799 --> 00:37:25.920
 you know

00:37:25.920 --> 00:37:26.099
 what the

00:37:26.099 --> 00:37:26.579
 Bible says

00:37:26.579 --> 00:37:26.920
 you better

00:37:26.920 --> 00:37:27.460
 assess it

00:37:27.460 --> 00:37:27.840
 to see

00:37:27.840 --> 00:37:28.639
 what the

00:37:28.639 --> 00:37:28.940
 substance

00:37:28.940 --> 00:37:29.500
 is behind

00:37:29.500 --> 00:37:29.679
 it

00:37:29.679 --> 00:37:30.240
 is it

00:37:30.240 --> 00:37:31.139
 accurate

00:37:31.139 --> 00:37:31.740
 assessment

00:37:31.740 --> 00:37:32.340
 you know

00:37:32.340 --> 00:37:32.740
 we need to

00:37:32.740 --> 00:37:33.360
 take those

00:37:33.360 --> 00:37:33.860
 things in

00:37:33.860 --> 00:37:34.139
 the right

00:37:34.139 --> 00:37:34.820
 context

00:37:34.820 --> 00:37:35.139
 but we

00:37:35.139 --> 00:37:35.720
 see here

00:37:35.720 --> 00:37:36.780
 that you

00:37:36.780 --> 00:37:36.920
 know

00:37:36.920 --> 00:37:37.579
 maybe that

00:37:37.579 --> 00:37:38.000
 was what

00:37:38.000 --> 00:37:38.400
 he got

00:37:38.400 --> 00:37:38.820
 upset

00:37:38.820 --> 00:37:39.200
 had his

00:37:39.200 --> 00:37:39.400
 little

00:37:39.400 --> 00:37:39.860
 feelings

00:37:39.860 --> 00:37:40.159
 hurt

00:37:40.159 --> 00:37:41.039
 maybe just

00:37:41.039 --> 00:37:41.340
 plain

00:37:41.340 --> 00:37:41.740
 greed

00:37:41.740 --> 00:37:42.240
 you know

00:37:42.240 --> 00:37:42.579
 we don't

00:37:42.579 --> 00:37:43.420
 know exactly

00:37:43.420 --> 00:37:43.980
 what his

00:37:43.980 --> 00:37:44.619
 motive was

00:37:44.619 --> 00:37:44.980
 but we can

00:37:44.980 --> 00:37:45.260
 definitely

00:37:45.260 --> 00:37:45.780
 make out

00:37:45.780 --> 00:37:46.220
 some pretty

00:37:46.220 --> 00:37:46.579
 accurate

00:37:46.579 --> 00:37:47.139
 things from

00:37:47.139 --> 00:37:47.679
 what happened

00:37:47.679 --> 00:37:48.519
 I imagine

00:37:48.519 --> 00:37:49.159
 like anything

00:37:49.159 --> 00:37:49.740
 in life

00:37:49.740 --> 00:37:50.260
 the motives

00:37:50.260 --> 00:37:50.780
 behind

00:37:50.780 --> 00:37:51.679
 Judas

00:37:51.679 --> 00:37:52.039
 and the

00:37:52.039 --> 00:37:52.360
 choices

00:37:52.360 --> 00:37:52.920
 he made

00:37:52.920 --> 00:37:53.400
 were probably

00:37:53.400 --> 00:37:54.079
 pretty complex

00:37:54.079 --> 00:37:54.579
 just like

00:37:54.579 --> 00:37:55.220
 choices and

00:37:55.220 --> 00:37:55.559
 things we

00:37:55.559 --> 00:37:55.840
 make

00:37:55.840 --> 00:37:56.659
 very rarely

00:37:56.659 --> 00:37:57.280
 is a choice

00:37:57.280 --> 00:37:57.860
 made

00:37:57.860 --> 00:37:58.800
 isolated

00:37:58.800 --> 00:37:59.500
 it's made

00:37:59.500 --> 00:38:00.180
 in context

00:38:00.180 --> 00:38:00.640
 of a lot

00:38:00.640 --> 00:38:00.900
 of other

00:38:00.900 --> 00:38:01.340
 things in

00:38:01.340 --> 00:38:01.599
 life

00:38:01.599 --> 00:38:02.460
 that motivate

00:38:02.460 --> 00:38:03.079
 us in our

00:38:03.079 --> 00:38:03.900
 desires of

00:38:03.900 --> 00:38:04.280
 something

00:38:04.280 --> 00:38:05.240
 but the reality

00:38:05.240 --> 00:38:05.820
 is we can
