00:00:31,500 –> 00:00:33,400
kind of set the stage for the
talk, you’re about to hear.

9
00:00:33,800 –> 00:00:35,800
And now let’s hear more about
this week’s talk.

10
00:00:45,600 –> 00:00:48,200
Welcome everyone to the
hundredth episode Chris anchor

11
00:00:48,200 –> 00:00:50,200
together.
Hey Chris hey Levi.

12
00:00:50,200 –> 00:00:52,300
How you doing?
Good.

13
00:00:52,500 –> 00:00:55,800
We’re on were on Zoom together
as we as everyone in our

14
00:00:55,800 –> 00:00:57,600
community has been.
It feels like for the last few

15
00:00:57,600 –> 00:00:58,700
months.
Yep.

16
00:00:59,000 –> 00:01:01,000
So it’s good to see your face.
Yeah.

17
00:01:01,000 –> 00:01:03,400
Happy too.
Happy to share Bob Lloyd’s last

18
00:01:03,400 –> 00:01:05,400
excerpt.
So you were, you were probably

19
00:01:05,400 –> 00:01:07,500
in the room for this.
Do you remember it at all?

20
00:01:07,500 –> 00:01:10,500
Or I think I was in the room,
that’s also possible.

21
00:01:10,500 –> 00:01:13,000
This may have fallen on the week
of Idlewild, which I wouldn’t

22
00:01:13,000 –> 00:01:15,000
have been there for, so I’m not
positive.

23
00:01:15,000 –> 00:01:16,400
But okay.
Vaguely.

24
00:01:16,400 –> 00:01:18,200
Remember it.
But as we kind of get into and

25
00:01:18,200 –> 00:01:19,600
will.
When we talk about his expert,

26
00:01:20,400 –> 00:01:23,900
Uncle Bob has Very consistent
themes, he uses in his

27
00:01:23,900 –> 00:01:27,700
excitation so it’s possible.
I’m remembering another one that

28
00:01:27,700 –> 00:01:30,200
he had some of the same points.
They’re still good points.

29
00:01:30,200 –> 00:01:32,800
There still were three hitting,
right?

30
00:01:32,800 –> 00:01:37,200
So yeah, the date here is July
26th 2015, which is almost going

31
00:01:37,200 –> 00:01:39,200
to be exactly five years to the
day.

32
00:01:39,200 –> 00:01:41,700
Right?
We’re posting this on July 19th

33
00:01:43,000 –> 00:01:47,200
and then Uncle Bob passed away.
Six months later, I think it was

34
00:01:47,200 –> 00:01:50,800
December 15.
Yeah, he’s kind of in a Heritage

35
00:01:50,800 –> 00:01:53,500
just for this show.
He’s episode 1, right?

36
00:01:53,500 –> 00:01:56,800
And and I now will get into
numbers episode.

37
00:01:56,800 –> 00:01:59,100
He’s actually the number one
episode, which is episode 74.

38
00:01:59,100 –> 00:02:01,400
Don’t worry over anything which
we posted in March.

39
00:02:01,700 –> 00:02:03,700
Yep.
Yeah, that one’s got just a

40
00:02:03,700 –> 00:02:07,700
shade under 1900 listens which
is is crazy.

41
00:02:07,700 –> 00:02:10,800
It’s crazy to think of one
episode getting listen to that

42
00:02:10,800 –> 00:02:14,500
many times.
I mean, and I don’t think, you

43
00:02:14,500 –> 00:02:17,100
know, we have not really pulled
this to figure this out, but I

44
00:02:17,108 –> 00:02:20,000
don’t pull as in, you know,
asking people for to check our

45
00:02:20,000 –> 00:02:21,600
facts.
But I don’t think people listen

46
00:02:21,600 –> 00:02:23,800
to episodes more than once.
So it’s just to me.

47
00:02:23,800 –> 00:02:27,100
It’s amazing, almost 18, you
know, 1800 people will listen to

48
00:02:27,500 –> 00:02:29,900
one of these episodes episode.
The second one is Ryan Stiles,

49
00:02:29,900 –> 00:02:33,300
which was the next week, the
parable of covid, which is, you

50
00:02:33,300 –> 00:02:36,700
know, again, has sent us all
into our homes and listening to

51
00:02:36,708 –> 00:02:38,500
podcasts.
Yeah, no.

52
00:02:38,500 –> 00:02:40,900
I went one of the things that
was crazy about looking at the

53
00:02:40,900 –> 00:02:45,900
numbers was that I think a
couple weeks back, maybe about a

54
00:02:45,908 –> 00:02:47,600
month ago, you had mentioned
that, we were getting close to

55
00:02:47,600 –> 00:02:52,600
crossing the 100,000 total
plays, Mark, and we’re now

56
00:02:52,600 –> 00:02:56,500
sitting at 107,000 plays for the
podcast.

57
00:02:56,500 –> 00:03:00,100
So that’s, that’s basically an
average of a little over 1,000 a

58
00:03:00,100 –> 00:03:03,300
week, or an episode for them,
for the tent, for the hundred

59
00:03:03,300 –> 00:03:07,600
ones, which first of all, we’re
incredibly humbled by it.

60
00:03:07,600 –> 00:03:11,300
It’s crazy to think of, you
know, the all the times they’ll

61
00:03:11,300 –> 00:03:13,700
people email Reach out or Reach
Out directly about how

62
00:03:13,700 –> 00:03:16,300
appreciative they are.
And we’re just so thankful that

63
00:03:16,300 –> 00:03:20,400
one that it’s been helpful and
that, you know, everybody is has

64
00:03:20,400 –> 00:03:22,700
appreciated that they’ve been
willing to work with us as we,

65
00:03:23,000 –> 00:03:25,400
you know, it’s the first time
either of us had done anything

66
00:03:25,400 –> 00:03:26,900
like this.
I know you’re doing other

67
00:03:26,900 –> 00:03:30,200
podcast things that you’ve done,
since we started this one, but

68
00:03:30,200 –> 00:03:33,900
for both of us, we were kind of
going in going in blind very

69
00:03:33,900 –> 00:03:36,500
little experience other than
reading and, you know, studying

70
00:03:36,500 –> 00:03:40,400
it a little bit, but it’s been
very easy to see how it’s been

71
00:03:40,400 –> 00:03:43,900
received.
Yeah, it’s clearly a good idea.

72
00:03:43,900 –> 00:03:46,300
I don’t know what we set it on
the one-year episode.

73
00:03:46,300 –> 00:03:50,500
We meet you can go back and that
one to listen to us, you know,

74
00:03:50,500 –> 00:03:52,300
talk about how the podcast came
to be.

75
00:03:52,300 –> 00:03:56,300
But I think it’s just, it has
been greatly received, which is,

76
00:03:56,300 –> 00:03:58,200
which is awesome.
And we’re so thankful for that.

77
00:03:58,200 –> 00:04:01,900
Yeah, the help we get was
submissions and also the help

78
00:04:02,100 –> 00:04:04,800
helper having.
Now with Brian, Rachel Adams are

79
00:04:04,800 –> 00:04:07,900
doing July Brother.
Sam Taylor did July last year.

80
00:04:08,200 –> 00:04:10,700
Yeah, we just, we really
appreciate kind of the community

81
00:04:10,700 –> 00:04:12,900
of help that we get over.
The podcast as well.

82
00:04:12,900 –> 00:04:16,200
And so much feedback and advice
on different talks, you know,

83
00:04:16,200 –> 00:04:18,300
that’s helpful.
I think our email address is

84
00:04:18,300 –> 00:04:20,399
well used, and we’re thankful
for that too.

85
00:04:20,800 –> 00:04:24,100
Definitely agree.
So, yeah, this talk like you

86
00:04:24,100 –> 00:04:26,800
kind of talked about it.
It hit the title is the price of

87
00:04:26,800 –> 00:04:30,800
Jesus and he had Matthew 27
read, what were your takeaways

88
00:04:30,800 –> 00:04:33,700
from this talk?
So this is I kind of feel like

89
00:04:33,700 –> 00:04:36,400
this expectation is a
quintessential, Bob Lloyd,

90
00:04:36,400 –> 00:04:40,200
exhort if you’ve listened to any
of his studies or you’ve read

91
00:04:40,200 –> 00:04:44,400
any of his many meditations.
You will find nuggets and

92
00:04:44,700 –> 00:04:49,000
highlights throughout this
exhort especially near the end

93
00:04:49,000 –> 00:04:51,500
of his life.
Uncle Bob was more prone,

94
00:04:51,500 –> 00:04:54,600
especially when he was exhorting
to being a little bit more

95
00:04:54,700 –> 00:04:56,600
rambley.
He’d sometimes, go a little bit

96
00:04:56,600 –> 00:05:00,400
off the, the theme that he had
stated at the beginning, but

97
00:05:00,400 –> 00:05:02,600
it’s one of those, it’s one of
those talks where if you just

98
00:05:02,700 –> 00:05:06,400
hold onto it and followed all
the way through, it’s all good

99
00:05:06,500 –> 00:05:08,100
and you’re going to get to the
end of it.

100
00:05:08,400 –> 00:05:11,000
One of the points that really
jumped out to me, that I thought

101
00:05:11,000 –> 00:05:12,000
was an interesting way of
looking.

102
00:05:12,100 –> 00:05:16,800
About how to make our walk in
the truth, really manageable in

103
00:05:16,800 –> 00:05:17,900
Uncle, Bob has always great at
doing.

104
00:05:17,900 –> 00:05:20,300
This was he made a point and ask
the question.

105
00:05:20,300 –> 00:05:22,400
What did you do yesterday?
That?

106
00:05:22,400 –> 00:05:25,800
You wouldn’t have done if you
weren’t a christadelphians,

107
00:05:26,300 –> 00:05:28,300
which I just thought was a
really interesting way of

108
00:05:28,300 –> 00:05:30,100
looking at it, because he was
making the point that, like, at

109
00:05:30,100 –> 00:05:33,800
least every single day, we
should be doing something that

110
00:05:33,800 –> 00:05:37,000
because of our faith, right?
So if we’re and it was one of

111
00:05:37,008 –> 00:05:39,700
those things, a lot of times
people talk about living a life

112
00:05:39,700 –> 00:05:43,100
for Christ and living, in the
way that God, God wants us to

113
00:05:43,200 –> 00:05:45,700
and it can sometimes seem really
daunting to try to, you know,

114
00:05:45,800 –> 00:05:48,600
embody that character.
And what I always loved about.

115
00:05:48,600 –> 00:05:51,300
Uncle Bob’s talks is he would he
has those real key biblical

116
00:05:51,300 –> 00:05:54,700
principles but then he breaks it
down to real simple practical

117
00:05:54,700 –> 00:05:57,600
application to just say like as
long as you can do something

118
00:05:57,600 –> 00:06:00,400
every day you’re doing better,
right?

119
00:06:00,400 –> 00:06:02,800
Which I feel like, it makes it
much more manageable when you’re

120
00:06:02,800 –> 00:06:04,800
feeling overwhelmed or like, you
don’t know what to do.

121
00:06:05,400 –> 00:06:08,000
Definitely has always been
practical.

122
00:06:08,100 –> 00:06:11,400
I think like you’re saying, you
can, you can really hear the age

123
00:06:11,400 –> 00:06:15,100
and Obviously, you know, anyone
would say past his past, his

124
00:06:15,100 –> 00:06:19,000
prime, you can really, if you
listen to it, you can, I mean, I

125
00:06:19,000 –> 00:06:20,800
can see it.
So clearly in my mind’s eye that

126
00:06:21,000 –> 00:06:23,700
he like gets back, he looks back
down to his notes because he

127
00:06:23,700 –> 00:06:27,200
gets on kind of a topic and gets
going and and then plays some of

128
00:06:27,200 –> 00:06:31,000
the some of the usual hits that
he has and then you can hear him

129
00:06:31,000 –> 00:06:34,100
pause and look at, look at the
paper, be like, where am I going

130
00:06:34,100 –> 00:06:38,400
next?
And it’s a but really great in

131
00:06:38,400 –> 00:06:40,400
my favorite, takeaway for me,
you know?

132
00:06:40,400 –> 00:06:43,400
Because yet again, he had that
way of Stilling things down to

133
00:06:43,400 –> 00:06:48,000
kind of like advanced concepts
being easy easier to understand

134
00:06:48,300 –> 00:06:50,000
and I’m going to get this wrong
because I didn’t write it.

135
00:06:50,000 –> 00:06:51,800
Write it down, exactly, but near
the middle of the talk.

136
00:06:51,800 –> 00:06:56,700
He says, he says, you can’t you
we all know that you will not be

137
00:06:56,700 –> 00:06:59,400
saved by your works.
You can’t work your way into the

138
00:06:59,400 –> 00:07:02,800
kingdom but we also know that
you can’t get in there if you

139
00:07:02,800 –> 00:07:05,400
don’t do anything.
I thought that was really good

140
00:07:05,400 –> 00:07:09,600
like just that that age-old
debate and he’s clearly showing,

141
00:07:09,600 –> 00:07:10,500
you know?
Yes it is.

142
00:07:10,500 –> 00:07:11,800
It is somewhere here in the
middle.

143
00:07:11,800 –> 00:07:15,600
It’s Not of our own doing that.
We can be saved, but we won’t be

144
00:07:15,600 –> 00:07:18,600
saved if we don’t do anything.
So yeah, really.

145
00:07:18,600 –> 00:07:20,700
I really enjoyed it.
I think it’s a, it is a great

146
00:07:20,700 –> 00:07:23,700
education, lots of lots of
different things for anyone to

147
00:07:23,700 –> 00:07:25,500
kind of latch onto as kind of
you.

148
00:07:25,500 –> 00:07:27,900
And I have any other thoughts
before we before we get into it,

149
00:07:28,100 –> 00:07:30,300
the only other one that I kind
of the jumped out of me, I just

150
00:07:30,300 –> 00:07:33,300
wanted to call out because it
was one that I know I personally

151
00:07:33,300 –> 00:07:36,100
struggle with, and Uncle Bob was
known for doing his prayer list.

152
00:07:36,100 –> 00:07:38,000
He mentions it a lot of times,
right?

153
00:07:38,000 –> 00:07:40,500
And, you know, he would mention
in, he mentions in this talk,

154
00:07:40,500 –> 00:07:43,700
how if somebody treats him, Real
meanly, first thing he does is

155
00:07:43,700 –> 00:07:45,200
put on your prayer list because
he makes the point.

156
00:07:45,200 –> 00:07:48,100
You can’t stay mad at somebody,
if you pray for him, like, it’s

157
00:07:48,100 –> 00:07:50,400
just the way our minds work.
If you’re praying for someone,

158
00:07:50,400 –> 00:07:52,600
you can’t stay mad.
And one of the things that he

159
00:07:52,600 –> 00:07:55,400
mentioned, again, just kind of
like the Practical things that

160
00:07:55,400 –> 00:07:57,800
you can really apply to your
life was.

161
00:07:58,100 –> 00:08:04,500
When you’re praying, don’t be
generic or systemic be specific

162
00:08:04,500 –> 00:08:07,000
and detailed because he said,
you know, because he makes the

163
00:08:07,000 –> 00:08:09,700
point right.
If you confess very

164
00:08:09,700 –> 00:08:12,900
specifically, like please Lord,
Give me because I accidentally

165
00:08:12,900 –> 00:08:16,800
swore yesterday, right?
That is putting it in your head

166
00:08:16,800 –> 00:08:19,700
and you’re confessing that
rather just say, no, God.

167
00:08:19,700 –> 00:08:21,800
Please forgive me for, I send,
right?

168
00:08:21,800 –> 00:08:25,400
It’s, it’s a much more powerful
prayer and you’re telling God

169
00:08:25,400 –> 00:08:28,100
where you’re struggling and
you’re repenting, right.

170
00:08:28,100 –> 00:08:31,300
If you’re just doing generic
prayers, then you’re not

171
00:08:31,300 –> 00:08:33,600
repenting for it.
But if you’re trying to be more

172
00:08:33,600 –> 00:08:36,700
specific, it makes it more
powerful both for ourselves to

173
00:08:36,700 –> 00:08:39,500
work on it.
And then, you know, God wants us

174
00:08:39,500 –> 00:08:41,600
to be as detailed as possible
and we’re praying to him.

175
00:08:41,600 –> 00:08:43,900
So, So I like that point it was
a good one for me because I

176
00:08:43,900 –> 00:08:47,500
struggle with that sometimes.
Yeah, I love that prayer list is

177
00:08:47,500 –> 00:08:50,200
something that I need to get
back into as well.

178
00:08:50,500 –> 00:08:53,500
Yeah, again, an excellent
excitation gets us to a place

179
00:08:53,500 –> 00:08:56,600
where we’re thinking we need to.
We need to step our games up a

180
00:08:56,608 –> 00:08:59,600
little bit.
Very thankful for this talk and

181
00:08:59,600 –> 00:09:03,500
Uncle Bob and thank you again to
everyone who listens and gives

182
00:09:03,500 –> 00:09:06,000
us suggestions.
We really benefit so much.

183
00:09:06,000 –> 00:09:07,800
Thank you again to Brian and
Rachel and they’re going to be

184
00:09:07,800 –> 00:09:11,400
back for one more class or one
more talk next week.

185
00:09:12,500 –> 00:09:14,300
Yeah, thanks again and then
thank you, Chris.

186
00:09:14,300 –> 00:09:15,700
This has been fun to do this
together.

187
00:09:16,300 –> 00:09:18,300
Yeah, likewise Levi, it’s been,
it’s been a blast, has been

188
00:09:18,300 –> 00:09:23,400
excuse to talk to you more, so I
always appreciate it with that.

189
00:09:23,400 –> 00:09:27,700
We’ll turn it over to Uncle, Bob
Lloyd for his excitation on the

190
00:09:27,700 –> 00:09:29,900
price of Jesus.
The reading from this one, was

191
00:09:29,900 –> 00:09:32,900
Matthew 27, in case you want to
read through that before you

192
00:09:32,900 –> 00:09:35,100
hear the talk that will turn it
over to him.

193
00:09:36,300 –> 00:09:41,900
I don’t move very fast.
My beloved brothers and sisters,

194
00:09:41,900 –> 00:09:48,500
the Lord Jesus Christ.
This morning, with read this sad

195
00:09:48,500 –> 00:09:51,400
chapter, it’s one of the most
painful chapters.

196
00:09:51,400 –> 00:09:55,300
I think, in the whole Bible it’s
a hard chapter to read without

197
00:09:55,300 –> 00:10:01,000
weeping because it tells it was
how much Jesus suffered for us

198
00:10:01,500 –> 00:10:03,800
for you.
And for me, he went through this

199
00:10:04,700 –> 00:10:07,600
and we’re thankful that he did,
and we’re here to remember in

200
00:10:07,600 –> 00:10:09,900
this morning with the bread and
the wine.

201
00:10:11,300 –> 00:10:15,600
Now, this chapter begins with
the story of Judas, who was the

202
00:10:15,608 –> 00:10:19,100
betrayer who takes the 30 pieces
of silver, which he had

203
00:10:19,100 –> 00:10:24,200
betrayed, he learned from
getting Christ killed, he takes

204
00:10:24,200 –> 00:10:28,100
it back and return to.
He thought it was so wonderful

205
00:10:28,100 –> 00:10:30,400
at one moment.
Now, he doesn’t even want it.

206
00:10:32,200 –> 00:10:35,300
You paid too high a price for
Jesus.

207
00:10:36,700 –> 00:10:39,000
What a terrible thing it was to
portray the Lord.

208
00:10:39,100 –> 00:10:43,700
He been with Jesus for three and
a half years, he knew him.

209
00:10:43,700 –> 00:10:49,300
Well he knew everything, he’d
done all his miracles and yet he

210
00:10:49,300 –> 00:10:52,800
betrayed him.
But the question is, what would

211
00:10:52,800 –> 00:10:56,100
you sell Jesus for?
Would you would you take 30

212
00:10:56,100 –> 00:10:57,900
pieces of silver?
The old.

213
00:10:57,900 –> 00:10:59,000
No.
Never.

214
00:10:59,700 –> 00:11:03,100
Well that’s good.
Would you take a million dollars

215
00:11:03,100 –> 00:11:05,400
for Jesus?
Would you leave the truth for a

216
00:11:05,408 –> 00:11:08,500
million dollars?
We all say no what’s not?

217
00:11:09,700 –> 00:11:18,300
And yet sadly every day people
are selling Jesus for much less

218
00:11:18,600 –> 00:11:25,800
than even 30 pieces of silver.
We must have sell Jesus for

219
00:11:25,800 –> 00:11:31,000
anything but whatever we spend
our time doing instead of

220
00:11:31,100 –> 00:11:35,600
remembering Jesus, instead of
doing our Bible readings, of

221
00:11:35,600 –> 00:11:38,800
Steve said of living the
christ-like life.

222
00:11:40,100 –> 00:11:43,800
Could we be selling Jesus?
If we’re a young person and

223
00:11:43,800 –> 00:11:48,400
we’re going to school high
school or college and we have

224
00:11:48,400 –> 00:11:52,700
great demands on our time, we
have the classes every day, we

225
00:11:52,700 –> 00:11:58,700
have projects, we have to do
books, we have to read homework,

226
00:11:58,700 –> 00:12:02,500
we have to do and so we just
don’t have time for Jesus right

227
00:12:02,500 –> 00:12:08,900
now that your price for Jesus.
if you give him up for school,

228
00:12:10,700 –> 00:12:13,300
but the oh, that’s terrible.
But it’s happening in this

229
00:12:13,300 –> 00:12:18,600
country right now today, but
would you sell Jesus for?

230
00:12:20,200 –> 00:12:24,600
Yeah, people sell him for things
that are not really that

231
00:12:24,600 –> 00:12:29,000
wonderful.
They sell sometimes for a pet.

232
00:12:30,200 –> 00:12:35,200
They have a dog or a cat, or
even a horse or something.

233
00:12:35,200 –> 00:12:38,500
It takes a lot of their time,
they had dog, it has to be

234
00:12:38,500 –> 00:12:39,500
walked.
Yes.

235
00:12:39,500 –> 00:12:43,900
Because fattest be taken care of
with, that’s all given, but to

236
00:12:43,900 –> 00:12:48,100
take the place of Jesus in your
life, we say, oh no, never.

237
00:12:49,400 –> 00:12:53,000
For some people, they devote
their life to an animal.

238
00:12:54,500 –> 00:12:58,300
And some young people devote
their life to another person.

239
00:12:59,100 –> 00:13:02,600
They fall head over heels in
love and maybe the announcement

240
00:13:02,600 –> 00:13:06,200
just now, married or maybe
they’re still dating, but all

241
00:13:06,200 –> 00:13:09,000
they can think about is this one
that they fall in love with.

242
00:13:09,700 –> 00:13:11,500
And as a result, they have no
time for Jesus.

243
00:13:11,500 –> 00:13:13,200
They’re busy.
You’re taking care of this.

244
00:13:13,400 –> 00:13:16,100
Loved one, that they admire so
much.

245
00:13:17,400 –> 00:13:23,200
You see, we can sell Jesus for
things less important as Judas

246
00:13:23,200 –> 00:13:27,400
did.
Every time I walk down the

247
00:13:27,400 –> 00:13:29,600
street, I see people with a cell
phone on New Year.

248
00:13:30,700 –> 00:13:33,700
It comes smartphones, but it is
a very smart.

249
00:13:34,200 –> 00:13:37,200
If you have a phone that takes
you away from Jesus, yet,

250
00:13:37,200 –> 00:13:39,600
there’s people that can’t seem
to live without talking on the

251
00:13:39,600 –> 00:13:44,200
phone or texting all the time.
There’s a cute commercial as on

252
00:13:44,200 –> 00:13:48,200
the TV, about a husband and wife
and two teenage girls and

253
00:13:48,200 –> 00:13:50,500
they’re standing in line,
waiting to board a plane.

254
00:13:50,800 –> 00:13:53,700
They’re going on vacation to
some Island and the girls are

255
00:13:53,700 –> 00:13:57,400
all with their phones.
And the father says, well we

256
00:13:57,400 –> 00:13:59,800
have no reception on the island.
What?

257
00:13:59,800 –> 00:14:04,500
No reception.
Doing what we do and the fuck

258
00:14:04,500 –> 00:14:06,700
mother says, where you can talk
to each other, Jesus to each

259
00:14:06,700 –> 00:14:12,400
other, you see people put other
things ahead of God, and I had

260
00:14:12,400 –> 00:14:14,400
to Jesus and you sell him.
If you do.

261
00:14:14,400 –> 00:14:17,500
That’s that’s the lesson were
learning from Judy’s.

262
00:14:18,000 –> 00:14:21,500
He taught us a profound lesson
that we was never forget.

263
00:14:22,800 –> 00:14:30,300
Never sell Jesus for anything.
He has to be first in our life,

264
00:14:30,500 –> 00:14:34,800
not second, or third, or fourth,
or fifth number one, he said, if

265
00:14:34,808 –> 00:14:37,100
you love your father or mother,
you ask my wife more than me,

266
00:14:37,100 –> 00:14:40,400
you’re not worthy of me.
But we do love our families.

267
00:14:40,500 –> 00:14:44,000
We’re very fond of our children,
our spouses, and our grief and

268
00:14:44,000 –> 00:14:48,200
our parents, but we must not
love them more than we love.

269
00:14:48,200 –> 00:14:49,800
Jesus.
That’s the point.

270
00:14:50,100 –> 00:14:52,100
He must be number one in our
life.

271
00:14:53,300 –> 00:14:56,400
So, that’s the lesson.
We want to bring from that first

272
00:14:56,400 –> 00:15:02,000
few verses of our champion.
Put Jesus first in your life.

273
00:15:02,700 –> 00:15:07,000
Make sure that every day you’re
doing things for him.

274
00:15:07,200 –> 00:15:09,100
So here’s a question to ask
yourself.

275
00:15:10,200 –> 00:15:15,000
What are you doing each day?
Was you would not be doing if

276
00:15:15,000 –> 00:15:17,700
you were not a Christian Alfea.
What is it?

277
00:15:17,700 –> 00:15:22,000
You do every day because you
belong to Christ, he is your

278
00:15:22,000 –> 00:15:24,000
elder brother.
He is your savior.

279
00:15:24,800 –> 00:15:27,200
What are you doing?
It can’t be nothing.

280
00:15:27,600 –> 00:15:30,400
It has to be something.
Can you think of something you

281
00:15:30,400 –> 00:15:33,000
did yesterday?
Just simply, because you love

282
00:15:33,000 –> 00:15:36,200
Jesus.
She can’t there’s an excitation

283
00:15:36,200 –> 00:15:39,700
in that.
Let’s make sure that every day,

284
00:15:40,400 –> 00:15:49,200
we do things because we belong
to Jesus, we must do our Bible

285
00:15:49,200 –> 00:15:53,400
readings every day, what a great
shame to miss tonight during the

286
00:15:53,400 –> 00:15:58,100
Bible readings because of things
of this life, does this mean

287
00:15:58,100 –> 00:16:00,700
that we’re selling Jesus or
whatever it was?

288
00:16:00,700 –> 00:16:04,300
We did instead of doing the
Bible readings.

289
00:16:04,700 –> 00:16:09,800
Instead of calling on someone,
he was sick, writing a letter

290
00:16:12,600 –> 00:16:15,500
keeping in charge praying for
them.

291
00:16:16,000 –> 00:16:20,900
Do you have a prayer list you?
We should all have a prayer

292
00:16:20,900 –> 00:16:24,100
list.
We need to be praying for each

293
00:16:24,100 –> 00:16:26,000
other.
Jesus said to you, he says,

294
00:16:26,000 –> 00:16:28,500
you’re supposed to love.
Rivers and pray for them.

295
00:16:29,800 –> 00:16:32,400
So do you pray for your enemies?
Well, somebody comes up and says

296
00:16:32,400 –> 00:16:34,200
your dirty rotten egg right
away.

297
00:16:34,200 –> 00:16:38,100
They all my parents.
Anyone who insults me is

298
00:16:38,100 –> 00:16:41,100
brightly?
I pray for them because you

299
00:16:41,100 –> 00:16:45,200
can’t stay mad at somebody,
you’re praying for, you may feel

300
00:16:45,200 –> 00:16:47,400
sorry for me.
You me, you me, not like what

301
00:16:47,400 –> 00:16:50,600
they said, it may be true.
It may not be true.

302
00:16:51,600 –> 00:16:54,500
We’re going to look at the trial
of Jesus and they said a lot of

303
00:16:54,500 –> 00:16:56,100
things about.
Jesus that wasn’t true.

304
00:16:56,800 –> 00:17:00,500
He never corrected them, he
never said a word.

305
00:17:01,200 –> 00:17:04,599
It was like a lamb that before
the slaughter he was dumped

306
00:17:04,599 –> 00:17:10,200
before his Shearer’s.
So, let’s hope that we every

307
00:17:10,200 –> 00:17:15,000
day.
Each of us are doing things that

308
00:17:15,000 –> 00:17:16,599
we would not be doing if it
works.

309
00:17:16,599 –> 00:17:23,400
A fact that we belong to him
because we won’t earn salvation

310
00:17:23,400 –> 00:17:28,500
by the things we do.
But we won’t learn salvation if

311
00:17:28,500 –> 00:17:33,000
we don’t do anything, that’s the
point B.

312
00:17:33,500 –> 00:17:36,000
We have to work out our
salvation, but we’re not earning

313
00:17:36,000 –> 00:17:38,000
it.
It’s a gift of God.

314
00:17:38,000 –> 00:17:40,200
This out.
The reward is being offered as

315
00:17:40,200 –> 00:17:42,700
is so great.
There’s nothing you could ever

316
00:17:42,700 –> 00:17:45,500
do that, to be worthy of that
reward.

317
00:17:45,900 –> 00:17:49,800
He wants to give it to you but
you have to show him that you

318
00:17:49,800 –> 00:17:53,300
want it more than anything else
in all the world.

319
00:17:54,000 –> 00:17:57,300
So, how much do you want Jesus
in your life?

320
00:17:57,800 –> 00:18:01,200
Is he the big part of your life?
Do you think about him when you

321
00:18:01,200 –> 00:18:04,700
wake up in the morning and what
we wish a little prayers before

322
00:18:04,700 –> 00:18:08,600
you eat our meal.
But sometimes we say almost by

323
00:18:08,600 –> 00:18:13,100
row, we say the same prayer
every day where we just close

324
00:18:13,100 –> 00:18:16,300
your eyes and how to comes
because should come from the

325
00:18:16,300 –> 00:18:19,400
heart.
We’re talking to God when

326
00:18:19,400 –> 00:18:23,100
thanking him through.
Jesus Christ, Our Savior Be be

327
00:18:23,100 –> 00:18:28,200
aware of that and be thankful
for all the blessings that he

328
00:18:28,200 –> 00:18:31,100
bestows upon you.
Because the one he wants to give

329
00:18:31,100 –> 00:18:35,100
you the most, he’s a place in
his kingdom and let’s hope that

330
00:18:35,100 –> 00:18:38,300
we want that more than anything
else than all the world.

331
00:18:39,300 –> 00:18:43,600
So Jesus spent his life doing
good healing others.

332
00:18:44,300 –> 00:18:47,700
We read about Barabbas this
morning, he was a professional

333
00:18:48,100 –> 00:18:52,600
sinner, a thief, a criminal, he
never did any good.

334
00:18:52,800 –> 00:19:03,400
We had Nora and they chose him
to be freed and Jesus to be

335
00:19:03,400 –> 00:19:06,400
crucified.
What wicked men.

336
00:19:06,400 –> 00:19:09,000
These were they were doing this
to Jesus.

337
00:19:10,500 –> 00:19:15,100
Jesus is showing us how to react
when we’re being tracked, we’ve

338
00:19:15,100 –> 00:19:18,700
never been tried as much as
Jesus was and yet he never

339
00:19:18,700 –> 00:19:24,400
sinned, never once, and we all
do, I hope you won’t be

340
00:19:24,400 –> 00:19:26,800
offended, but I’m looking out a
group of Sinners.

341
00:19:27,800 –> 00:19:29,800
But, you know, I believe you,
I’m looking at a group of

342
00:19:29,800 –> 00:19:33,700
forgiven Sinners, because you
can go to bed every night with

343
00:19:33,700 –> 00:19:38,000
no sin because before you get
bad, you get on your knees and

344
00:19:38,000 –> 00:19:40,200
you ask God to forgive Give you
your sins.

345
00:19:40,200 –> 00:19:43,700
He promises, he will.
He does keep his promises but

346
00:19:43,700 –> 00:19:45,900
she got to mean it.
You can just say the words.

347
00:19:46,000 –> 00:19:48,800
You got to meet him.
So I did it today.

348
00:19:49,000 –> 00:19:50,500
I’m sorry, but we’ll do it again
tomorrow.

349
00:19:50,800 –> 00:19:53,200
You’re not, that’s not
forgiveness, and stop your

350
00:19:53,200 –> 00:19:55,600
pensions.
I started change your heart.

351
00:19:56,400 –> 00:20:01,700
God has to touch our hearts.
Jesus, loved us so much.

352
00:20:01,700 –> 00:20:07,100
He died for us.
And now we must show our love by

353
00:20:07,100 –> 00:20:12,100
serving him Faithfully.
So, Jesus told us how to act

354
00:20:12,200 –> 00:20:16,300
when we’re being tried.
He, you know, he told us in

355
00:20:16,300 –> 00:20:23,800
Matthew 5, he’s now in chapter
27, he’s showing us how he did

356
00:20:23,800 –> 00:20:27,400
it, he said to us, in back in
back in the Matthew 5, The

357
00:20:27,400 –> 00:20:30,200
Sermon on the Mount, I say unto
you love your enemies.

358
00:20:31,500 –> 00:20:34,000
Bless them that curse, you do
good to them that hate you and

359
00:20:34,000 –> 00:20:37,200
pray for them that despitefully
use you and persecute you.

360
00:20:38,000 –> 00:20:40,800
Do you, if you pray for someone
that offends, you you should

361
00:20:41,000 –> 00:20:45,600
Jesus said to, people have said
some awful things to me in my

362
00:20:45,600 –> 00:20:48,700
life.
I pray for every one of them and

363
00:20:48,700 –> 00:20:51,300
I release it.
I don’t think about it anymore.

364
00:20:51,900 –> 00:20:56,500
I don’t keep it in my heart,
Jesus on the cross.

365
00:20:57,700 –> 00:21:01,900
Prayed for those ever kill you
father, forgive them for they

366
00:21:01,900 –> 00:21:05,800
know, not what they do, and they
were killing him and he forgave

367
00:21:05,800 –> 00:21:10,000
them.
So, we brothers and sisters are

368
00:21:10,000 –> 00:21:16,400
not to defend ourselves.
Anyway, we Peer who was one of

369
00:21:16,400 –> 00:21:21,700
the closest disciples that Jesus
had wrote two letters.

370
00:21:22,700 –> 00:21:26,700
And in his first letter, chapter
2, and verse 19.

371
00:21:27,100 –> 00:21:32,000
He tells us how to act just as
Jesus was acting for this is,

372
00:21:32,000 –> 00:21:35,100
thank worthy of a man for
conscience toward God and your

373
00:21:35,100 –> 00:21:38,800
grief suffering.
Wrongfully for, what Gloria did

374
00:21:38,800 –> 00:21:43,100
When U B+ your fault?
You take it patiently you you

375
00:21:43,100 –> 00:21:44,900
did something wrong, you
arrested.

376
00:21:45,400 –> 00:21:48,000
If you speeding and you get a
ticket you deserve it, didn’t

377
00:21:48,000 –> 00:21:52,600
you?
But if you do well and suffer

378
00:21:52,600 –> 00:21:56,900
for it and you take it patiently
while this is acceptable to God

379
00:21:57,400 –> 00:22:00,400
for even hereunto.
Were you called being Christ

380
00:22:00,500 –> 00:22:04,400
also suffered for us?
And we know how he suffered two.

381
00:22:04,700 –> 00:22:08,100
He was an example for us as
Peter and we should follow in

382
00:22:08,100 –> 00:22:12,000
his steps.
And so, we read this morning

383
00:22:12,300 –> 00:22:16,800
about this painful trial, that
Jesus went through and he dies

384
00:22:16,800 –> 00:22:20,000
at the end of just a chapter,
He’s dead.

385
00:22:20,900 –> 00:22:23,500
It’s a sad chapter, but tomorrow
is a happy camper because

386
00:22:23,500 –> 00:22:27,000
tomorrow he’s alive again, we
knew he was going to be raised

387
00:22:27,100 –> 00:22:29,000
he because he said he was going
to be read.

388
00:22:29,800 –> 00:22:33,300
But some of the people didn’t
believe that when he was reviled

389
00:22:33,300 –> 00:22:35,000
he reviled.
Not again, since Peter

390
00:22:35,000 –> 00:22:38,000
continued.
When he suffered, he threatened.

391
00:22:38,000 –> 00:22:41,700
Not we’re committed himself to
him that judgeth righteously.

392
00:22:42,700 –> 00:22:48,900
Who his own self bare our sins
in his body on the tree that we

393
00:22:48,900 –> 00:22:52,000
being dead to sins should live
unto righteousness, by whose

394
00:22:52,000 –> 00:22:54,900
Stripes ye were here.
We had to be dead as it.

395
00:22:55,100 –> 00:22:57,700
Whe, when you were baptized what
happened?

396
00:22:58,100 –> 00:23:00,900
They baptize you, they put you
under the water.

397
00:23:01,200 –> 00:23:03,000
What does the person baptized
you held you?

398
00:23:03,000 –> 00:23:07,400
There you would be dead but you
see we believe in Resurrection

399
00:23:07,800 –> 00:23:10,800
so you go down in the water.
Your sins are washed away, you

400
00:23:10,800 –> 00:23:13,200
come up a little person.
Sinless.

401
00:23:13,800 –> 00:23:17,500
I love to see new people.
Baptized it looking a sinless

402
00:23:17,500 –> 00:23:19,800
person.
They’re going to do it again, we

403
00:23:19,800 –> 00:23:23,400
all have, but every night, you
get rid of your sins, if you

404
00:23:23,400 –> 00:23:27,800
just ask God In Prayer to
forgive them and don’t just say,

405
00:23:27,800 –> 00:23:31,600
forgive me, as I can feed him
sending its me name of you know,

406
00:23:31,600 –> 00:23:33,900
what they are.
Jesus didn’t have time to name

407
00:23:33,900 –> 00:23:38,500
all your sins but if you know I
should have talked to my wife

408
00:23:38,500 –> 00:23:42,900
that way today, I’m sorry I
yelled at the kids So I told a

409
00:23:42,908 –> 00:23:45,600
little white lie.
We always color our lives, only

410
00:23:46,100 –> 00:23:47,500
there.
When we tell them, they’re, why

411
00:23:47,500 –> 00:23:51,500
do people tell me all the black,
but you may have lied to the

412
00:23:51,500 –> 00:23:55,700
boss or something has to be
forgiven for what you did today.

413
00:23:56,300 –> 00:24:00,800
Every night even not just a
night, but during the day, we

414
00:24:00,800 –> 00:24:04,600
can always ask to be forgiven
but what we’ve done and we

415
00:24:04,600 –> 00:24:08,900
promised by God that he would
forgive us, what a wonderful

416
00:24:08,900 –> 00:24:11,500
promise and people don’t take
advantage of it.

417
00:24:12,100 –> 00:24:13,900
Some people think they can’t do
anything wrong.

418
00:24:13,900 –> 00:24:15,000
Everything is somebody else’s
fault.

419
00:24:15,000 –> 00:24:16,500
Never my fault.
All these years.

420
00:24:17,500 –> 00:24:21,600
We know we all have faults but
insisted but God loves us and

421
00:24:21,600 –> 00:24:24,600
that’s the good news and he
wants us in his kingdom.

422
00:24:25,600 –> 00:24:28,400
So it’s natural to defend
ourselves when were being

423
00:24:28,400 –> 00:24:32,600
accused falsely, but Jesus did
not and we are not here to do

424
00:24:32,600 –> 00:24:39,600
that either Jesus lived a
perfect life.

425
00:24:40,900 –> 00:24:45,300
No one else has ever done that,
but God shows us that it could

426
00:24:45,300 –> 00:24:47,200
be done because he had a son,
who did it?

427
00:24:48,400 –> 00:24:50,500
No, he says, say well I could
never be like that.

428
00:24:50,500 –> 00:24:55,100
Well, we have the numbers happen
but it’s obvious because we are

429
00:24:55,100 –> 00:24:59,600
giving in to the flesh.
We have to fight this every day

430
00:24:59,600 –> 00:25:01,900
is a constant battle.
It never goes away.

431
00:25:01,900 –> 00:25:05,400
No matter how old you get.
You’re still being tempted and

432
00:25:05,400 –> 00:25:08,100
we still sin and we still can be
forgiven.

433
00:25:08,100 –> 00:25:14,500
That’s good news.
So pilot was trying to distance

434
00:25:14,500 –> 00:25:20,800
himself from the people because
they just Kept saying her, let

435
00:25:20,800 –> 00:25:24,600
him be crucified.
So part, we saw that he could

436
00:25:24,600 –> 00:25:27,500
Prevail nothing, we just read
this and I reading today, but

437
00:25:27,500 –> 00:25:29,200
they’re you rather a tumult was
made.

438
00:25:29,300 –> 00:25:32,000
He took water.
Take a basin of water and he

439
00:25:32,000 –> 00:25:34,500
washes his hands in the water
before the motor.

440
00:25:34,500 –> 00:25:37,800
He said, I am innocent of the
blood of this just person.

441
00:25:38,000 –> 00:25:41,700
See you to it.
He knew that Jesus was sinless.

442
00:25:42,100 –> 00:25:47,000
Pilot knew that, you know I’ve
even warned him in a dream. so

443
00:25:47,000 –> 00:25:50,500
he’s trying to distance himself
and what listen, what the people

444
00:25:50,500 –> 00:25:55,700
said we registrant is then all
the people said his blood be on

445
00:25:55,700 –> 00:25:59,200
us and on our children We’ll
take credit.

446
00:25:59,200 –> 00:26:02,800
We want him killed.
We’ll take responsibility for

447
00:26:02,800 –> 00:26:04,800
this killing.
That’s what he said.

448
00:26:06,200 –> 00:26:10,800
Now, just follow that down in
your mind to what we read the

449
00:26:10,800 –> 00:26:17,700
book of Acts, it’s coming up
soon and the disciples are now

450
00:26:17,700 –> 00:26:21,600
preaching Jesus as the
resurrected Christ, savior of

451
00:26:21,600 –> 00:26:25,600
the world and they arrest him
and they dragged him into the

452
00:26:25,600 –> 00:26:28,000
court.
And when they get into the court

453
00:26:28,000 –> 00:26:31,000
they said did not restrain to
tell you not to teach in this

454
00:26:31,000 –> 00:26:33,900
name.
We told you not to do this,

455
00:26:34,400 –> 00:26:35,800
behold.
You have filled Jerusalem with

456
00:26:36,000 –> 00:26:38,400
Doc, you intend to bring this
man’s blood on us.

457
00:26:39,500 –> 00:26:43,000
You trying to blame this for
this a short memories ahead.

458
00:26:43,400 –> 00:26:46,500
They just said that they want us
to accept responsibility with

459
00:26:46,600 –> 00:26:48,900
now they’re now the denying
their responsibility.

460
00:26:49,500 –> 00:26:52,800
See how people do they send one
day and the next day it wasn’t

461
00:26:52,800 –> 00:26:54,000
their fault.
Somebody else.

462
00:26:55,300 –> 00:27:01,600
Jesus Peter responded when they
said that we ought to obey God

463
00:27:02,400 –> 00:27:07,000
rather than man and that’s what
we got to do.

464
00:27:08,100 –> 00:27:13,700
We got a big God and not man.
Now, we’re fortunate to live in

465
00:27:13,700 –> 00:27:19,400
a country where we’re not often
told to disability the laws of

466
00:27:19,400 –> 00:27:22,300
God.
We can be most of the laws of

467
00:27:22,300 –> 00:27:25,500
this country which we live that
true in other countries and some

468
00:27:25,500 –> 00:27:26,500
countries.
If you tell them, you are a

469
00:27:26,508 –> 00:27:29,300
Christian, it’s all penalty of
death.

470
00:27:30,000 –> 00:27:32,800
They chop off your hand for
saying your blog and Christ.

471
00:27:33,600 –> 00:27:35,700
Are we thankful to live here,
but it’s not.

472
00:27:35,700 –> 00:27:40,000
There are laws and other
countries which christadelphians

473
00:27:40,000 –> 00:27:45,600
break on purpose.
In Australia, there’s a law that

474
00:27:45,600 –> 00:27:48,800
if you’re a citizen of Australia
you have to vote.

475
00:27:49,100 –> 00:27:53,800
Voting is no, I’m not not
option, it’s a requirement.

476
00:27:53,900 –> 00:27:56,300
You have to vote if you’re a
citizen and you live in

477
00:27:56,300 –> 00:28:02,400
Australia and of course aliens
don’t And so, after an election,

478
00:28:03,100 –> 00:28:07,000
the authorities, go down the
list of people who didn’t vote

479
00:28:07,500 –> 00:28:11,000
and they said to see if their
citizens and if they are they

480
00:28:11,000 –> 00:28:14,000
contact them.
You did not vote.

481
00:28:15,500 –> 00:28:19,300
Because you’re a lot of
Christians in Australia They

482
00:28:19,300 –> 00:28:22,000
have made it plain to the
government.

483
00:28:22,100 –> 00:28:25,400
That the we do not vote, we do
not believe in voting, and we

484
00:28:25,400 –> 00:28:29,100
will not vote.
And when the authorities look

485
00:28:29,100 –> 00:28:32,900
that up, they don’t do no
prosecutors.

486
00:28:34,100 –> 00:28:39,100
They they they start to but they
pull back so even in Australia.

487
00:28:39,300 –> 00:28:41,000
They let us get away with that
one.

488
00:28:42,100 –> 00:28:46,100
But we just some of us were
there, Brother.

489
00:28:46,100 –> 00:28:49,900
Floyd else has just passed away.
He was the older brother of

490
00:28:49,900 –> 00:28:53,500
Edith, McDougal Mark Leisure who
passed away a few days before he

491
00:28:53,500 –> 00:28:58,500
did but when Floyd was a young
man, he was a draft age during

492
00:28:58,500 –> 00:29:03,400
the second World War.
And he applied for conscientious

493
00:29:03,400 –> 00:29:08,500
objection, and his draft board,
refused to give him conscious

494
00:29:08,500 –> 00:29:13,100
objection status.
They ordered him into the army

495
00:29:14,600 –> 00:29:16,300
and Floyd officers went to
prison.

496
00:29:18,100 –> 00:29:22,700
He preached that all the rest of
the war in prison because he was

497
00:29:22,700 –> 00:29:26,800
standing up for Christ and not
doing we ought to obey God

498
00:29:27,000 –> 00:29:32,100
rather than men.
So, we must be sure that we are

499
00:29:32,100 –> 00:29:36,800
obeying God even if the laws of
the land, which we live should

500
00:29:36,800 –> 00:29:42,900
tell us otherwise.
And so, when Jesus was on trial

501
00:29:42,900 –> 00:29:47,300
for his life, they publicly
accused him of saying that he

502
00:29:47,300 –> 00:29:53,300
said, they shouldn’t give to
tributes of sissy Caesar and he

503
00:29:53,300 –> 00:29:57,800
said, he said just the opposite.
Render to Caesar the things that

504
00:29:57,800 –> 00:30:00,700
are Caesar’s and to God, the
things that are God.

505
00:30:01,500 –> 00:30:05,100
And so they must quoting.
They were lying about it.

506
00:30:06,000 –> 00:30:12,100
Now that I’ve been there on my
jobs and I ate that, Jesus said

507
00:30:12,200 –> 00:30:16,500
nothing.
He did not defend himself.

508
00:30:17,500 –> 00:30:19,900
We don’t have to defend
ourselves when were found

509
00:30:19,900 –> 00:30:24,000
falsely accused.
We just take it.

510
00:30:25,000 –> 00:30:30,200
Jesus took it.
We must follow Jesus example,

511
00:30:30,600 –> 00:30:32,100
which we read about this
morning.

512
00:30:34,100 –> 00:30:46,300
And so, Jesus always did what
God Said, and so, they kept

513
00:30:46,300 –> 00:30:50,500
saying, let him be crucified
crucify, him crucify him.

514
00:30:51,600 –> 00:30:58,500
Finally passes, okay, released
Barabbas a professional criminal

515
00:30:59,400 –> 00:31:03,000
and killed a man who did nothing
but good.

516
00:31:04,400 –> 00:31:07,200
He had raised the dead, they
knew you’d raise the dead.

517
00:31:08,800 –> 00:31:13,600
They knew about Lazarus they
that Lazarus was raised from the

518
00:31:13,600 –> 00:31:16,400
dead.
Did it touch their hearts know?

519
00:31:16,600 –> 00:31:19,600
They want to kill Lazarus
because he was living proof.

520
00:31:19,600 –> 00:31:20,900
That Jesus had raised the dead
man.

521
00:31:21,600 –> 00:31:24,600
So get rid of the Japan.
You get make him dead again.

522
00:31:25,500 –> 00:31:29,500
Fortunately they didn’t kill
him, but he was protective but

523
00:31:29,500 –> 00:31:33,400
that was their, their reasoning.
They were totally Wicked,

524
00:31:35,000 –> 00:31:37,100
brothers and sisters.
This world is full of

525
00:31:37,100 –> 00:31:41,200
wickedness.
We’re now legalizing sin in this

526
00:31:41,200 –> 00:31:44,800
country.
It’s okay to do things which the

527
00:31:44,800 –> 00:31:49,300
Bible says, do not okay to do.
We are living in the time of the

528
00:31:49,300 –> 00:31:52,300
end.
We’re living just prior to the

529
00:31:52,300 –> 00:31:54,500
coming of Christ.
We have a bulletin board in the

530
00:31:54,500 –> 00:31:58,500
back signs of the times.
I’m sure I was to get signs of

531
00:31:58,508 –> 00:32:03,100
the times from England and I get
one from Australia to a brother,

532
00:32:03,100 –> 00:32:05,800
a retired doctor in Australia,
brother, right?

533
00:32:06,600 –> 00:32:12,400
And the things that they reveal
is going on in the world.

534
00:32:12,900 –> 00:32:18,400
Right now, we’re all now proving
Iran to build up atomic bomb.

535
00:32:18,700 –> 00:32:22,700
That’s what this new treaty
would do it.

536
00:32:22,800 –> 00:32:29,100
This is exciting times and we
got to be ready and and we’re

537
00:32:29,100 –> 00:32:32,400
not ready as we should be.
Maybe that’s a, that’s why I

538
00:32:32,400 –> 00:32:36,600
urge to exhortation, we want to
encourage you guys, not asking

539
00:32:36,600 –> 00:32:39,800
you to do what you can’t do.
He will never try you more than

540
00:32:39,800 –> 00:32:42,000
you can bear.
No matter what kind of a problem

541
00:32:42,000 –> 00:32:44,200
you got it.
Is a way out of God, provides a

542
00:32:44,208 –> 00:32:46,100
way of Escape, that you may be
able to bear baby.

543
00:32:46,200 –> 00:32:50,900
May be able to Bear it, but but,
but you’ve got to turn to God in

544
00:32:50,900 –> 00:32:54,800
prayer and what a friend we have
in Jesus, which we sang.

545
00:32:55,200 –> 00:32:59,100
My Favorite him.
And Jesus went through all this

546
00:33:00,000 –> 00:33:03,500
for you.
How are you doing for you?

547
00:33:04,800 –> 00:33:08,200
That’s the question.
We have to ask ourselves every

548
00:33:08,200 –> 00:33:15,500
day and it has to be something
but pilot after he had called

549
00:33:15,500 –> 00:33:18,400
Jesus.
Just man who done no good no

550
00:33:18,400 –> 00:33:21,500
harm.
He ordered his henchman’s to

551
00:33:21,500 –> 00:33:25,000
Scourge him.
You want skirting, while he was

552
00:33:25,000 –> 00:33:30,300
beating on the back.
That is the Jews were only

553
00:33:30,300 –> 00:33:36,500
allowed to beat a Jew 40 times.
So, when the Jews beat a man,

554
00:33:36,600 –> 00:33:41,200
they stopped at 39, just to be
safe, didn’t go over, but the

555
00:33:41,200 –> 00:33:46,800
Romans had no rule like that a
Roman persons scourging, you

556
00:33:47,200 –> 00:33:52,100
could keep falling as long as he
wanted and many people died from

557
00:33:52,100 –> 00:33:55,900
the scourging.
It hurts me to think of Jesus

558
00:33:55,900 –> 00:33:59,300
being scourged his back by
backward.

559
00:33:59,700 –> 00:34:06,200
Bloody from this, discouraging.
And he was so weak from it, and

560
00:34:06,200 –> 00:34:09,500
when they let him out to be
crucified, he was too weak to

561
00:34:09,500 –> 00:34:14,699
carry his own cross.
So we’re told that the compelled

562
00:34:15,000 –> 00:34:18,199
Simon to Bear the cross for
Jesus.

563
00:34:20,699 –> 00:34:25,800
So the chief priests and the
scribes mocked Jesus.

564
00:34:25,800 –> 00:34:31,100
Now, when he’s on the cross,
they never gave up mocking him,

565
00:34:31,500 –> 00:34:35,600
making fun of him.
I knew he’d raise the dead.

566
00:34:36,199 –> 00:34:38,000
They knew that Lazarus was
alive.

567
00:34:38,600 –> 00:34:41,900
They wanted to kill Lazarus
because Lazarus was proof.

568
00:34:41,900 –> 00:34:44,699
That Jesus had raised the dead.
None of them could do these

569
00:34:44,699 –> 00:34:48,199
things.
What will it take to touch your

570
00:34:48,199 –> 00:34:52,600
heart?
We know nothing could touch the

571
00:34:52,600 –> 00:34:56,699
heart of these wicked men.
Nothing that Jesus did touch

572
00:34:56,699 –> 00:34:59,700
their hearts.
But you see we, our hearts have

573
00:34:59,700 –> 00:35:04,500
been touched.
We we love Jesus, and we love

574
00:35:04,500 –> 00:35:08,100
his father, how we want to be in
their Kingdom, more than

575
00:35:08,100 –> 00:35:13,800
anything else at all the world.
So when Jesus died, oh before he

576
00:35:13,800 –> 00:35:21,200
died 9:00 in the morning, no at
12 noon 12:00 noon.

577
00:35:21,200 –> 00:35:25,200
He was crucified 9:00 by 12
noon, three hours off on the

578
00:35:25,200 –> 00:35:28,200
cross.
All of a sudden went dark, that

579
00:35:28,200 –> 00:35:30,800
wasn’t like that.
Some of my the crowd, he went

580
00:35:30,800 –> 00:35:33,200
black, There was nothing.
They could see.

581
00:35:33,200 –> 00:35:34,900
You can’t see your hand in front
of your face.

582
00:35:36,400 –> 00:35:40,400
And the whole town froze because
nobody can see anybody.

583
00:35:41,000 –> 00:35:44,300
I suppose some people grab
Lampson and that those we don’t

584
00:35:44,300 –> 00:35:48,100
know but that’s never happened
in Jerusalem, it happened in

585
00:35:48,100 –> 00:35:52,100
Egypt, she was one of the
plagues that God put on the

586
00:35:52,100 –> 00:35:56,700
Egyptian The Darkness Darkness
that so dark.

587
00:35:56,700 –> 00:36:00,400
They said Darkness I could be
felt you can feel the darkness

588
00:36:00,900 –> 00:36:07,100
is how dark it was, and that was
it from From 12 noon.

589
00:36:07,400 –> 00:36:10,600
Hi, new design also, no light at
all.

590
00:36:10,700 –> 00:36:14,000
It was a miracle.
God did it because it gave us

591
00:36:14,000 –> 00:36:18,200
some some sun, some relief,
perhaps because that sun was

592
00:36:18,200 –> 00:36:20,800
beating down on him and he hung
on that cross.

593
00:36:21,400 –> 00:36:26,600
So the last three hours of his
life, Jesus spent in the dark,

594
00:36:27,900 –> 00:36:31,100
And I guess it came right again
because they could see again,

595
00:36:32,100 –> 00:36:35,000
didn’t she just for three hours?
It was just what happened.

596
00:36:36,100 –> 00:36:42,100
And so he dies.
And what happened?

597
00:36:42,100 –> 00:36:43,700
When you got there was an
earthquake.

598
00:36:43,800 –> 00:36:46,300
Do you ever have felt an
earthquake?

599
00:36:46,900 –> 00:36:49,200
Everybody knows what is in
earthquake if you’re in it.

600
00:36:49,600 –> 00:36:52,700
So it’s just what I crazy
everybody is.

601
00:36:52,700 –> 00:36:57,800
Rusev knew about the earthquake.
What did you do?

602
00:36:58,600 –> 00:37:02,200
Wicked Pharisees and Sadducees
do didn’t touch him.

603
00:37:03,000 –> 00:37:05,500
They were not.
Sorry, not at all.

604
00:37:06,200 –> 00:37:08,100
What does it take to touch your
arm?

605
00:37:09,000 –> 00:37:10,600
Well, thank goodness.
Your heart has been touched

606
00:37:10,600 –> 00:37:14,700
because you’re baptized But that
we have to make sure that our

607
00:37:14,700 –> 00:37:20,600
heart is always soft and pliable
and God’s hands, because the

608
00:37:20,600 –> 00:37:22,400
heart of the heart is
desperately.

609
00:37:22,400 –> 00:37:26,400
Wicked, who can know it said,
Jeremiah so hard, isn’t it?

610
00:37:27,000 –> 00:37:31,500
Not a good thing from a
scriptural viewpoint, but you

611
00:37:31,500 –> 00:37:36,400
don’t have to give in to it.
And you pray, we pray for

612
00:37:36,500 –> 00:37:39,900
strength and we will be
delivered from Temptation and we

613
00:37:39,900 –> 00:37:43,700
will not give in to it.
So there was an earthquake, but

614
00:37:43,700 –> 00:37:46,400
what else happened?
Well, the veil the trip to

615
00:37:46,400 –> 00:37:52,100
Temple was rent in Twain on
curtains.

616
00:37:53,200 –> 00:37:56,600
Easiest way to Great Terror
curtain is to grab it by the

617
00:37:56,600 –> 00:38:02,900
solid grip it down.
This curtain was ripped from the

618
00:38:02,900 –> 00:38:08,400
bottom to the top.
Who’s telling you that God did

619
00:38:08,400 –> 00:38:11,700
this and not mad it was a
miracle again.

620
00:38:12,500 –> 00:38:14,400
Pharisees knew all these things
happening.

621
00:38:14,800 –> 00:38:18,100
They do about the earthquake.
They knew about the temple and

622
00:38:18,100 –> 00:38:20,700
curtain being ripped.
They did it did affect him

623
00:38:20,700 –> 00:38:24,800
known, they still want to even
after we leave two samples are

624
00:38:24,800 –> 00:38:26,500
preaching to you should try to
blame.

625
00:38:26,500 –> 00:38:29,500
That’s where his death while he
took blame for it already,

626
00:38:29,500 –> 00:38:34,800
didn’t they?
And so, Another thing happened

627
00:38:35,900 –> 00:38:41,500
at the death of Christ.
Resurrection of people who had

628
00:38:41,500 –> 00:38:45,700
already died, just imagine that
you went to a funeral last week

629
00:38:46,500 –> 00:38:49,400
and today he the person you
funeral, you went to walks in

630
00:38:49,400 –> 00:38:53,300
your house.
You be estate.

631
00:38:53,300 –> 00:38:55,800
You be stylish when you you’d be
moved by that.

632
00:38:57,600 –> 00:39:00,600
There were a lot of wasn’t just
one person now they were not

633
00:39:00,600 –> 00:39:02,800
raised for Life.
Eternally were raised to die

634
00:39:02,800 –> 00:39:05,700
again as those that Jesus raised
died again.

635
00:39:06,000 –> 00:39:10,500
But Jesus is the first one.
One who ever lived and died and

636
00:39:10,500 –> 00:39:12,400
was raised and giving him
mortality.

637
00:39:12,600 –> 00:39:16,100
He’s the first fruits of those
that slept, but we’re all going

638
00:39:16,100 –> 00:39:20,900
to be eligible for that same
gift of God, we all have

639
00:39:21,000 –> 00:39:25,000
relatives and friends, and we’ve
attended their funerals and we

640
00:39:25,100 –> 00:39:28,500
look forward to seeing them
again in the kingdom, and

641
00:39:28,500 –> 00:39:32,600
they’ll be there.
We believe, in Resurrection, we

642
00:39:32,600 –> 00:39:34,600
believe that Jesus rose from the
dead.

643
00:39:35,100 –> 00:39:38,400
We believe that our brothers and
sisters who were faithful will

644
00:39:38,400 –> 00:39:41,700
be raised from the dead and
bestowed with eternal life.

645
00:39:42,000 –> 00:39:46,500
What a great, hope we have and
we don’t realize something in

646
00:39:46,500 –> 00:39:50,100
this world getting between us
and there, we sell Jesus for

647
00:39:50,600 –> 00:39:53,100
something else that it’s not as
important as that.

648
00:39:53,900 –> 00:39:57,500
He has never won in our life,
not number two or three.

649
00:39:58,700 –> 00:40:03,000
So we got to put Jesus first in
our lives and so now Jesus is

650
00:40:03,000 –> 00:40:06,000
dead.
And where is disciples will have

651
00:40:06,000 –> 00:40:11,500
all fled they’re gone.
So here comes Joseph of

652
00:40:11,500 –> 00:40:16,100
Arimathea, he was a disciple of
Christ but secretly you didn’t

653
00:40:16,100 –> 00:40:20,700
want to tell you want the Jews
to know of it but now his savior

654
00:40:20,700 –> 00:40:23,700
is dead.
He comes forward and asked for

655
00:40:23,700 –> 00:40:33,200
the body. and also Nicodemus,
And so these two tenderly, take

656
00:40:33,200 –> 00:40:39,400
the body of Jesus and Rappin, in
grave clothes and buried in

657
00:40:39,400 –> 00:40:45,100
Joseph’s own tomb.
And he was there three days.

658
00:40:47,000 –> 00:40:52,000
And then what happened?
The last verses of our reading

659
00:40:52,000 –> 00:40:56,500
for today, the Jews are the, the
wicked use, they come to Pilot

660
00:40:56,500 –> 00:40:59,800
and he said we remember that
that deceiver.

661
00:41:00,200 –> 00:41:03,900
They were convinced that he that
he was right that deceiver.

662
00:41:04,000 –> 00:41:05,900
He said he be raised in three
days.

663
00:41:06,500 –> 00:41:10,000
So make sure just make sure just
lock up that to make sure nobody

664
00:41:10,000 –> 00:41:13,400
can get in and take that body.
Otherwise Samba, they may steal

665
00:41:13,400 –> 00:41:16,300
his body and say, which ways
that would be worse.

666
00:41:16,900 –> 00:41:20,700
We’ve had before passes.
Go ahead making sure as you can

667
00:41:23,200 –> 00:41:26,000
they couldn’t make it here from
the resurrection of Jesus.

668
00:41:26,600 –> 00:41:33,200
All the guards around that cou
could not stop Jesus from coming

669
00:41:33,200 –> 00:41:36,400
out of the grave.
Do you believe that Jesus

670
00:41:36,400 –> 00:41:40,700
actually rose from the dead?
Do you believe he’s coming back?

671
00:41:42,000 –> 00:41:46,900
Did you believe it soon?
I believe it’s real soon.

672
00:41:48,600 –> 00:41:53,100
I’ve been expecting you so many
years but I is more signs of the

673
00:41:53,100 –> 00:41:56,800
times.
Now, all place.

674
00:41:57,600 –> 00:41:59,700
I almost wonder why we’re still
here.

675
00:41:59,700 –> 00:42:03,100
Now, it looks like there’s not
very much that we know the

676
00:42:03,100 –> 00:42:07,600
Damascus has to be destroyed,
but whether we’re not sure

677
00:42:07,600 –> 00:42:11,300
whether it’s before, or after
Christ, comes by Josh could be

678
00:42:11,300 –> 00:42:12,800
happy.
It’s pretty much in shambles

679
00:42:12,800 –> 00:42:18,200
now, but he’s coming.
And you’re going to be there.

680
00:42:19,700 –> 00:42:23,100
And young people.
If you are old enough to know

681
00:42:23,100 –> 00:42:25,500
what you’re supposed to do,
you’re going to be there.

682
00:42:25,800 –> 00:42:27,900
Even if you haven’t listened to
him, you’re going to be there.

683
00:42:29,800 –> 00:42:32,600
Because knowledge brings
responsibilities.

684
00:42:33,400 –> 00:42:36,600
When we know what’s right to do.
We don’t have a choice.

685
00:42:36,600 –> 00:42:40,500
We must do it.
We must try our best buzz and

686
00:42:40,500 –> 00:42:43,500
reach these will help us.
He wants you in his kingdom.

687
00:42:44,100 –> 00:42:46,700
He’s rooting for you.
His father is rooting for you.

688
00:42:47,900 –> 00:42:51,000
And if you don’t want it because
something else is coming the

689
00:42:51,000 –> 00:42:55,300
way, whatever that something
else is, is your price for

690
00:42:55,300 –> 00:42:58,500
Jesus.
So Brennan says, we must not

691
00:42:58,500 –> 00:43:02,900
sell Jesus for anything.
He’s the most important person

692
00:43:02,900 –> 00:43:06,100
in your life.
He’s coming soon.

693
00:43:07,100 –> 00:43:09,300
We pray will be ready when he
comes.

694
00:43:11,100 –> 00:43:13,500
When I was a little boy, I loved
to play the game

695
00:43:13,700 –> 00:43:18,700
hide-and-go-seek, haven’t played
it for years but maybe you all

696
00:43:18,700 –> 00:43:20,800
have played it sometime and
person.

697
00:43:21,900 –> 00:43:25,000
It’s it hides her eyes and he
camps.

698
00:43:26,200 –> 00:43:28,800
Everybody else who owns the
hides and it’s you.

699
00:43:28,800 –> 00:43:33,000
Yes, we counting to prescribe
member takes his arm away.

700
00:43:33,500 –> 00:43:35,400
He’s here.
I come Ready or Not.

701
00:43:38,800 –> 00:43:44,600
Jesus, is coming even.
So come Lord, Jesus.
