215: Jim Styles – How The Gospels Present The Death Of Jesus

1
00:00:13,900 –> 00:00:15,600
Welcome to good for selfie and
talks.

2
00:00:15,600 –> 00:00:19,300
I’m Levi and I’m Chris and I’m
Brian, thank you for joining us

3
00:00:19,300 –> 00:00:21,900
this week.
On this podcast, we select one

4
00:00:21,900 –> 00:00:26,400
taco week to help us get the
Bible in our daily news feed.

5
00:00:26,500 –> 00:00:29,300
We post a new episode of the
start of each week with a short

6
00:00:29,300 –> 00:00:31,400
intro before.
Hand to kind of set the stage

7
00:00:31,400 –> 00:00:33,600
for the talk.
You’re about to listen to and

8
00:00:33,600 –> 00:00:36,300
now let’s talk more about this
week’s talk.

9
00:00:51,200 –> 00:00:53,700
Welcome to the good
christadelphians talks podcast.

10
00:00:54,200 –> 00:00:58,200
This is brother Brian.
This week’s talk was a class

11
00:00:58,200 –> 00:01:02,300
that was given by Brother Jim
Styles and titled how the

12
00:01:02,300 –> 00:01:07,400
gospels present the death of
Jesus and that’s exactly what

13
00:01:07,400 –> 00:01:11,600
it’s about.
What makes it so memorable is

14
00:01:11,600 –> 00:01:15,900
the overlooked Simplicity of
what was actually said and

15
00:01:15,900 –> 00:01:19,900
written compared to the
abundance of knowledge.

16
00:01:19,900 –> 00:01:25,200
And detail that we have filled
in the blanks, with concerning

17
00:01:25,300 –> 00:01:27,200
the crucifixion of our Lord
Jesus.

18
00:01:28,600 –> 00:01:32,900
To our credit, typical Kristin
LP and mode of Bible study.

19
00:01:33,200 –> 00:01:37,500
We look at just a few short
verses or a singular statement

20
00:01:37,500 –> 00:01:42,000
and through good Bible study, we
pull out these amazing hidden

21
00:01:42,000 –> 00:01:48,100
gems and backstory and
underlying themes and to a large

22
00:01:48,100 –> 00:01:52,200
extent, the word of God has been
greatly Amplified in our

23
00:01:52,200 –> 00:01:57,100
understanding by this deep dive
way of dissection.

24
00:01:59,700 –> 00:02:04,400
The point that brother Jim makes
is that when we consider and

25
00:02:04,400 –> 00:02:10,199
examine the death of Christ were
better served by appreciating

26
00:02:10,199 –> 00:02:14,800
the brevity and the matter of
fact reporting that the gospel

27
00:02:14,800 –> 00:02:20,200
writers preserved for us.
So much of what we now think of

28
00:02:20,200 –> 00:02:24,300
and speak about, when we discuss
the death on the cross, has been

29
00:02:24,300 –> 00:02:29,600
brought up by our own research
into the method of crucifixion

30
00:02:29,600 –> 00:02:32,800
and all of its gruesome and gory
details.

31
00:02:34,400 –> 00:02:38,700
There are whole movies and TV
adaptations, built just around

32
00:02:38,700 –> 00:02:43,000
the spectacle of torture that
this sentence brought with it.

33
00:02:44,800 –> 00:02:46,700
But his brother Jim reminds us
time.

34
00:02:46,700 –> 00:02:52,300
And again, that’s not the point
of what God and the gospel

35
00:02:52,300 –> 00:02:59,100
writers want us to focus on.
It is the victory over sin and

36
00:02:59,100 –> 00:03:03,000
the obedience to God’s will that
has meant to be showcased.

37
00:03:04,400 –> 00:03:09,000
The lesson is about the victory
that Christ accomplished and not

38
00:03:09,000 –> 00:03:13,500
about the punishment.
The brutality of the crucifixion

39
00:03:13,500 –> 00:03:16,500
doesn’t save us.
That doesn’t motivate us to be

40
00:03:16,500 –> 00:03:20,800
better disciples.
It is the pride in the

41
00:03:20,800 –> 00:03:23,900
commitment of our savior that we
should dwell on.

42
00:03:25,200 –> 00:03:29,200
And the faith we have in our
God, to remove even the fear of

43
00:03:29,200 –> 00:03:35,600
death itself from our lives.
So that we have no barrier to

44
00:03:35,600 –> 00:03:40,000
embrace his will fully in our
transformation.

45
00:03:43,300 –> 00:03:46,900
Overall, it’s a very powerful
class that I found gets better.

46
00:03:47,000 –> 00:03:51,100
The longer you listen as brother
Jim Builds on points that he

47
00:03:51,100 –> 00:03:53,800
makes early on about what we
miss.

48
00:03:54,600 –> 00:04:01,300
If we get too caught up in the
death and forget the why So as

49
00:04:01,300 –> 00:04:05,000
always, we hope this strengthens
your faith and brightens your

50
00:04:05,000 –> 00:04:08,600
day.
Brother Jim Styles, how the

51
00:04:08,600 –> 00:04:11,500
gospels present the death of
Jesus.

52
00:04:12,200 –> 00:04:15,700
So what we’re going to look at
today is how the gospels record,

53
00:04:15,700 –> 00:04:18,100
how they present the death of
Jesus.

54
00:04:18,899 –> 00:04:21,500
That may be something that
you’ve looked at before, maybe

55
00:04:21,500 –> 00:04:24,900
you haven’t.
So, what you find out is where

56
00:04:24,900 –> 00:04:27,100
every Sunday morning we come to
me.

57
00:04:27,500 –> 00:04:31,700
We are reminded that when we
have the bread and the wine that

58
00:04:31,700 –> 00:04:35,400
we are, proclaiming the Lord’s
death as Paul says in First

59
00:04:35,400 –> 00:04:37,700
Corinthians.
And first often, as you eat this

60
00:04:37,700 –> 00:04:41,200
bread and drink this cup, you
proclaim the Lord’s death till

61
00:04:41,200 –> 00:04:45,600
he comes.
And it’s similar to when Jesus

62
00:04:45,600 –> 00:04:50,800
spoke in John 6 verse 53 and he
said to them, most assuredly I

63
00:04:50,800 –> 00:04:53,800
say to you unless you eat the
Flesh of the son of man and

64
00:04:53,800 –> 00:04:56,700
drink his blood, you have no
life in you.

65
00:04:57,200 –> 00:04:58,800
Whoever eats my flesh and
drinks.

66
00:04:58,800 –> 00:05:01,900
My blood has eternal life and I
will raise him up at the last

67
00:05:01,900 –> 00:05:06,700
day for my flesh is food.
Indeed, and my blood Blood is

68
00:05:06,700 –> 00:05:09,900
drink indeed, he who eats my
flesh and drinks.

69
00:05:09,900 –> 00:05:13,100
My blood abides in me and I in
him.

70
00:05:13,500 –> 00:05:16,900
So this death that Jesus is
talking about.

71
00:05:17,300 –> 00:05:21,800
This death has a power to change
our lives because when we eat

72
00:05:21,800 –> 00:05:25,100
his flesh and drink his blood,
we have eternal life.

73
00:05:25,400 –> 00:05:29,200
That doesn’t mean immortality.
That means the kind of life that

74
00:05:29,200 –> 00:05:33,000
is with God, that’s the way
Jesus and John used the word

75
00:05:33,000 –> 00:05:34,800
eternal life.
That’s why they could say that

76
00:05:34,800 –> 00:05:38,000
you have eternal life abiding.
You right now because it’s a

77
00:05:38,000 –> 00:05:40,500
kind of life that will live
forever.

78
00:05:40,900 –> 00:05:43,600
And this is part of what we are
remembering.

79
00:05:43,600 –> 00:05:47,000
We proclaim the Lord’s death
till he comes.

80
00:05:47,400 –> 00:05:49,100
So that’s what I’m going to look
at tonight.

81
00:05:49,100 –> 00:05:51,600
Is what is this?
Lord’s death that he’s talking

82
00:05:51,600 –> 00:05:55,300
about and how do the gospels
actually record it.

83
00:05:55,800 –> 00:05:57,800
So, what I want you to look for
is we’re going through the

84
00:05:57,808 –> 00:06:00,700
gospels because I’m going to
string together, a series of

85
00:06:00,700 –> 00:06:04,000
passages in all four, gospels
going through the crucifixion

86
00:06:04,000 –> 00:06:05,900
and leading up to the
crucifixion.

87
00:06:06,200 –> 00:06:10,000
But you watch in this house
Jesus and his father are in this

88
00:06:10,000 –> 00:06:13,300
together all along.
Jesus tells you right on there.

89
00:06:13,300 –> 00:06:16,200
Any beginning in John 12, he’s
on his way to the father.

90
00:06:16,800 –> 00:06:20,000
He’s not focused on the fact
that he’s going to be crucified.

91
00:06:20,300 –> 00:06:23,500
He’s focused on the fact that
he’s on his way to his father,

92
00:06:23,800 –> 00:06:27,800
he completely trusted, God is in
control, this is a key component

93
00:06:27,800 –> 00:06:31,100
of what it means and remembering
the death of Christ.

94
00:06:31,500 –> 00:06:34,200
And he tries to help and protect
his followers.

95
00:06:34,200 –> 00:06:36,000
You’re going to see that and
here he is.

96
00:06:36,200 –> 00:06:39,600
Facing the roughest night of his
life and the trials, and the

97
00:06:39,600 –> 00:06:42,300
crucifixion.
And what he’s doing is reaching

98
00:06:42,300 –> 00:06:45,200
out trying to help others.
You’ll notice that when the

99
00:06:45,200 –> 00:06:49,400
gospels record, this there is no
mention at all about.

100
00:06:49,400 –> 00:06:53,500
Any anger, no Vengeance coming
from Jesus, no matter what

101
00:06:53,500 –> 00:06:56,400
people did to him, he doesn’t
get angry at him.

102
00:06:56,500 –> 00:07:01,000
And he doesn’t want to extract
Vengeance on them and he never

103
00:07:01,000 –> 00:07:03,800
allows the devil in himself to
surface.

104
00:07:04,200 –> 00:07:07,300
He really does destroyed.
The Devil Himself.

105
00:07:07,300 –> 00:07:10,100
As Les Paul says, in Hebrews 2,
that he destroyed him.

106
00:07:10,100 –> 00:07:13,900
Who had the power of death.
That is the devil, and Jesus

107
00:07:13,900 –> 00:07:15,900
totally agrees with God’s
decision.

108
00:07:15,900 –> 00:07:19,100
He declares God.
Right in everything that our

109
00:07:19,100 –> 00:07:21,200
nature really is rightly related
to death.

110
00:07:21,200 –> 00:07:24,900
Because it is so prone to sin.
So that even though he never

111
00:07:24,900 –> 00:07:29,700
sinned, he totally acknowledges
that God is right to require him

112
00:07:29,700 –> 00:07:33,500
to go through this, and it’s
sort of a, you know, it was

113
00:07:33,500 –> 00:07:36,000
foreshadowed back in Genesis
with Abraham and Isaac.

114
00:07:36,700 –> 00:07:40,500
When the record says a few times
in Genesis 22, that the two of

115
00:07:40,500 –> 00:07:43,500
them went up together and that’s
what’s happening.

116
00:07:43,900 –> 00:07:47,300
That’s what’s recorded for us,
in the gospels, about the

117
00:07:47,300 –> 00:07:52,200
crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
So if you just follow up to, and

118
00:07:52,200 –> 00:07:55,200
what’s happening here before the
crucifixion, you’ll notice how

119
00:07:55,200 –> 00:07:58,900
Focus Jesus was at the Last
Supper, when he was trying to

120
00:07:58,900 –> 00:08:03,300
help the disciples in, Luke 22
at verse 15, he said, with

121
00:08:03,300 –> 00:08:05,900
fervent desire, I have desire to
eat.

122
00:08:06,100 –> 00:08:09,800
Eat this Passover with you
before I suffer, this wasn’t the

123
00:08:09,800 –> 00:08:12,400
actual Passover.
This was the night before, but

124
00:08:12,400 –> 00:08:14,200
they were gathered together in
that room.

125
00:08:14,200 –> 00:08:17,100
And he really wanted to share
this last meal with them.

126
00:08:17,600 –> 00:08:22,000
And then, in John 13, He washes
their feet and he gives them a

127
00:08:22,000 –> 00:08:24,200
new commandment to love one
another.

128
00:08:24,800 –> 00:08:28,300
And then in John 14, I go to
prepare a place for you and I’ll

129
00:08:28,300 –> 00:08:30,400
send the helper who’s going to
help you.

130
00:08:30,800 –> 00:08:34,400
And you’ll notice that here he
is facing the roughest night of

131
00:08:34,400 –> 00:08:39,600
his life and He’s focused on is
how to help them get through

132
00:08:39,600 –> 00:08:41,700
this?
How did help save these

133
00:08:41,700 –> 00:08:45,100
disciples that I think what
comes out of this as you’re

134
00:08:45,100 –> 00:08:47,800
going to see as we go along is
very clearly brothers and

135
00:08:47,800 –> 00:08:50,200
sisters.
It’s a suggestion that one of

136
00:08:50,200 –> 00:08:53,900
the ways to really deal with
things that happen in our life

137
00:08:53,900 –> 00:08:57,500
that might lead us into
depression, and frustration and

138
00:08:57,500 –> 00:09:01,200
anger, and all these different
things is to focus on.

139
00:09:01,300 –> 00:09:04,800
Saving other people, helping
them helping others, just like

140
00:09:04,800 –> 00:09:07,900
Jesus did.
This actually helped him get

141
00:09:07,900 –> 00:09:11,300
through the night.
John 15, he says I am the True

142
00:09:11,300 –> 00:09:14,300
Vine and abide in me.
He’s going to take care of them.

143
00:09:14,600 –> 00:09:18,100
I have spoken to you in John 16
and he’s trying to help them

144
00:09:18,100 –> 00:09:20,700
understand so they will not
stumble.

145
00:09:21,100 –> 00:09:24,600
And in John 17, he prays at
Famous prayer, he prays for all

146
00:09:24,600 –> 00:09:28,300
his disciples and for all who
will believe in him.

147
00:09:28,600 –> 00:09:32,900
So even though he’s facing
crucifixion, Jesus is focus is

148
00:09:32,900 –> 00:09:39,400
on helping other people.
So when you get to John 13 at

149
00:09:39,400 –> 00:09:42,700
verse 1, you’re at the point
where the, the Feast of the

150
00:09:42,700 –> 00:09:46,500
Passover had come, and Jesus
knows that his hour had come,

151
00:09:46,500 –> 00:09:49,900
that he should depart from this
world to the father, having

152
00:09:49,900 –> 00:09:52,500
loved his own.
Who were in the world, he loved

153
00:09:52,500 –> 00:09:57,300
them to the end and this is the
commitment that he had of trying

154
00:09:57,300 –> 00:10:00,700
to help his disciples.
He knows his hour has come, he

155
00:10:00,700 –> 00:10:04,100
knows what he’s going to be
facing, but he’s going to depart

156
00:10:04,100 –> 00:10:08,300
from this world and go to the
Father and this is what kept Him

157
00:10:08,300 –> 00:10:13,000
going is focusing on the future
and that God was in control and

158
00:10:13,000 –> 00:10:16,200
he would take care of him and
it’s something we can try to

159
00:10:16,200 –> 00:10:19,300
pattern our lives with.
And we want to follow that kind

160
00:10:19,300 –> 00:10:23,200
of commitment and the focus that
he had on helping other people.

161
00:10:24,000 –> 00:10:28,500
So, as this night unfolds, watch
how the gospels record Jesus,

162
00:10:28,600 –> 00:10:31,100
what happens to Jesus and how he
handles it.

163
00:10:31,500 –> 00:10:35,900
So in Matthew 26, at verse 47
while he was still speaking.

164
00:10:36,100 –> 00:10:39,300
His disciples behold Judas.
One of the twelve with a great

165
00:10:39,300 –> 00:10:42,300
multitude with swords and clubs
came from the chief priests and

166
00:10:42,300 –> 00:10:44,900
Elders of the people and now is
betray her.

167
00:10:44,900 –> 00:10:46,300
Giving them a sign saying
whoever.

168
00:10:46,300 –> 00:10:50,300
I guess he’s the one sees him
and immediately he went up to

169
00:10:50,300 –> 00:10:55,000
Jesus and said, greetings, Rabbi
and kissed him now.

170
00:10:55,000 –> 00:10:56,700
Yeah, look how Jesus could have
reacted.

171
00:10:56,700 –> 00:10:59,800
A lot of different ways you
could have been very angry but

172
00:10:59,800 –> 00:11:01,900
he yelled at Judas.
He could have like done all

173
00:11:01,900 –> 00:11:06,300
kinds of things that he says he
looks at Jesus Judas and he Says

174
00:11:06,500 –> 00:11:11,300
in verse 50 friend, why have you
come then they laid?

175
00:11:11,400 –> 00:11:14,000
Then they came and laid hands on
Jesus and took him.

176
00:11:14,700 –> 00:11:17,600
So, this is you right at the
beginning, you’re starting to

177
00:11:17,600 –> 00:11:22,100
see the way the gospels present.
This Jesus is in total control

178
00:11:22,400 –> 00:11:26,500
and he’s not getting angry.
He’s not calling out Vengeance.

179
00:11:26,800 –> 00:11:31,100
That’s not what he does.
He trust that God is in control,

180
00:11:31,400 –> 00:11:33,000
and this is what you’re going to
see.

181
00:11:33,000 –> 00:11:35,300
Come out consistently through
these Gospels.

182
00:11:36,100 –> 00:11:39,300
John 18, Jesus knowing
therefore, all things in verse

183
00:11:39,300 –> 00:11:41,800
4, that would come upon them.
He went forward and said to

184
00:11:41,808 –> 00:11:45,400
them, whom are you seeking?
And they answered him Jesus of

185
00:11:45,400 –> 00:11:47,200
Nazareth.
So he says to them.

186
00:11:47,300 –> 00:11:51,700
I am he and Judas who betrayed
him also stood with them and now

187
00:11:51,700 –> 00:11:54,400
when he said to them I am he
they drew back and they fell to

188
00:11:54,400 –> 00:11:56,800
the ground.
So he asked them again.

189
00:11:56,800 –> 00:12:00,300
Who are you seeking?
And they said Jesus of Nazareth

190
00:12:00,900 –> 00:12:02,900
and he answered I have told you
that I am.

191
00:12:02,900 –> 00:12:07,800
He now look at this.
Therefore If you seek me, let

192
00:12:07,800 –> 00:12:11,300
these go their way.
You see, here’s the Good

193
00:12:11,300 –> 00:12:15,100
Shepherd protecting the Sheep.
This was his focus on taking

194
00:12:15,100 –> 00:12:18,600
care of them, he wanted to say
right straightforward.

195
00:12:18,600 –> 00:12:22,500
I’m the one you’re after left
the rest of these go and that,

196
00:12:22,500 –> 00:12:25,300
you know, as it says there, that
John records, that the same

197
00:12:25,300 –> 00:12:28,600
might be fulfilled, which he
spoke of Those whom you gave me.

198
00:12:28,600 –> 00:12:33,300
I have lost none in John 18
later on at verse 10.

199
00:12:33,300 –> 00:12:35,900
Remember, what Simon Peter did,
he pulled out his sword.

200
00:12:36,100 –> 00:12:38,600
He drew it and struck the high
priests servants here.

201
00:12:38,900 –> 00:12:42,100
And he cop is right here, that
servants name was malchus.

202
00:12:42,600 –> 00:12:47,000
So, Jesus said to Peter, put
your sword into the sheath,

203
00:12:47,200 –> 00:12:49,600
shall not.
Shall I, not drink the cup,

204
00:12:49,600 –> 00:12:54,300
which, my father has given me,
and then in Luke 22, would they

205
00:12:54,300 –> 00:12:56,200
record with Luke records?
For us?

206
00:12:56,400 –> 00:12:58,700
Is when those around him saw,
what was going to happen?

207
00:12:58,700 –> 00:13:01,200
They said to him, Lord, shall we
strike with the sword?

208
00:13:01,600 –> 00:13:03,900
And one of them struck the
servant of the high priest and

209
00:13:03,900 –> 00:13:07,300
cut off his right ear.
But Has answered and said

210
00:13:07,300 –> 00:13:12,400
permit, even this and he touched
the ear and healed him.

211
00:13:13,300 –> 00:13:17,200
And you look at this, that here
he is, in the midst of being

212
00:13:17,200 –> 00:13:21,600
taken, knowing he’s going to be
crucified and he reaches out and

213
00:13:21,600 –> 00:13:25,300
he heals an unbeliever who’s
come to arrest him.

214
00:13:25,600 –> 00:13:28,500
This is the kind of control that
Jesus is under in.

215
00:13:28,500 –> 00:13:30,900
This is the kind of victory that
he’s winning.

216
00:13:31,100 –> 00:13:35,000
He doesn’t give in to his
natural Temptations at all.

217
00:13:35,200 –> 00:13:37,600
He doesn’t join.
Peter then the in a tendency to

218
00:13:37,600 –> 00:13:40,500
like try to strike out at these
people and do something, you

219
00:13:40,500 –> 00:13:43,500
know, and I really think that
what should have happened,

220
00:13:43,500 –> 00:13:45,600
right?
Then is all the people watching

221
00:13:45,600 –> 00:13:49,600
this should have realized he
really was the son of God.

222
00:13:49,800 –> 00:13:52,900
Now he had the power to heal,
somebody just cut off in here

223
00:13:52,900 –> 00:13:55,800
and he reattaches the ear and he
heals the man.

224
00:13:56,300 –> 00:13:59,700
But this is the danger of
believing in a god of evil is

225
00:13:59,900 –> 00:14:01,300
going through Mark and the
readings.

226
00:14:01,300 –> 00:14:03,400
You’ll see that there’s all
these references.

227
00:14:03,600 –> 00:14:06,800
So this idea that he was doing
these things By Beelzebub.

228
00:14:06,800 –> 00:14:10,100
And if you believe in a god of
evil, or some evil being, that’s

229
00:14:10,100 –> 00:14:13,400
working against God, you can
write off all the good that

230
00:14:13,400 –> 00:14:16,400
Jesus was doing and just make
excuses for it.

231
00:14:16,400 –> 00:14:18,600
And that’s what you see
happening right here.

232
00:14:19,400 –> 00:14:23,400
So in Matthew 26, Jesus responds
to them at this point, put your

233
00:14:23,400 –> 00:14:26,000
sword in its place for all.
Who take the sword will perish

234
00:14:26,000 –> 00:14:28,700
By The Sword.
But in verse 53, look at this,

235
00:14:28,700 –> 00:14:32,300
or do you not think that I
cannot now pray to my father and

236
00:14:32,300 –> 00:14:35,800
he will provide me with more
than Twelve Legions of angels.

237
00:14:36,400 –> 00:14:39,600
How then could the scriptures be
fulfilled that it must happen to

238
00:14:39,600 –> 00:14:42,000
us.
And then that our Jesus said to

239
00:14:42,008 –> 00:14:45,500
them, altitudes have you come
out as against a robber with

240
00:14:45,500 –> 00:14:49,200
swords and clubs to take me?
I said, daily with you teaching

241
00:14:49,200 –> 00:14:51,200
in the temple, and you did not
seize me.

242
00:14:51,600 –> 00:14:54,900
But all this was done, that the
scriptures of the prophets might

243
00:14:54,900 –> 00:15:00,200
be fulfilled, then all the
disciples forsook him and fled.

244
00:15:01,400 –> 00:15:05,000
So here he is saying, look it I
could defend myself.

245
00:15:05,000 –> 00:15:08,300
I could call from the father.
He give me twelve Legions of

246
00:15:08,300 –> 00:15:12,800
angels, but look, it it’s the
scriptures have to be fulfilled

247
00:15:12,900 –> 00:15:14,800
in all the disciples at this
point.

248
00:15:14,800 –> 00:15:18,700
Forsake Him and they flee but
what Jesus is doing is he’s

249
00:15:18,700 –> 00:15:21,900
trusting his father, he knows
God’s in control.

250
00:15:22,200 –> 00:15:24,800
Well, the disciples stay or not.
He’s trusting.

251
00:15:24,800 –> 00:15:27,700
The fact that God will take care
of him.

252
00:15:28,300 –> 00:15:33,900
So Luke records in chapter 22.
At verse 54 that having arrested

253
00:15:33,900 –> 00:15:34,900
him.
That’s Jesus.

254
00:15:34,900 –> 00:15:37,600
They let him and brought him
into the high priests house but

255
00:15:37,600 –> 00:15:41,400
Peter followed at a distance and
now when they had kindled a fire

256
00:15:41,400 –> 00:15:43,800
in the midst of the courtyard
and sat down together, Peter sat

257
00:15:43,800 –> 00:15:47,400
among them in a certain servant,
girl seeing him Sat by the fire

258
00:15:47,700 –> 00:15:51,300
looked intently at him and said
this man also was with him.

259
00:15:51,900 –> 00:15:54,500
But he denied him and said woman
I do not know him.

260
00:15:55,000 –> 00:15:58,600
Now look at the contrast between
how Jesus is handling things and

261
00:15:58,600 –> 00:16:02,700
how Peter, and those things and
then In verse 58 after a little

262
00:16:02,700 –> 00:16:05,700
while while another saw him he
said you also are one of them.

263
00:16:05,900 –> 00:16:10,200
Peter said, man, I am not then
after about an hour, had passed

264
00:16:10,200 –> 00:16:13,000
another confidently, affirmed
saying surely this fellow was

265
00:16:13,000 –> 00:16:14,800
also with him freeze, a
Galilean.

266
00:16:15,300 –> 00:16:18,300
But Peter said man, I do not
know what you’re saying.

267
00:16:18,300 –> 00:16:22,400
And immediately while he was
still speaking, the rooster

268
00:16:22,400 –> 00:16:26,500
crowed and the Lord turned and
looked at Peter.

269
00:16:27,100 –> 00:16:30,600
Now it doesn’t tell us there but
I can’t believe he’s looking at

270
00:16:30,600 –> 00:16:34,000
Peter and In a condemnatory way,
he knew ahead of time, what

271
00:16:34,000 –> 00:16:36,800
Peter was going to do, but he
looks over him.

272
00:16:36,800 –> 00:16:40,000
And Peter remembered the word of
the Lord, how he had said to

273
00:16:40,000 –> 00:16:42,200
him.
Before the rooster crows, you

274
00:16:42,200 –> 00:16:45,900
will deny me three times.
So, Peter went out and wept

275
00:16:45,900 –> 00:16:48,900
bitterly.
So while Peter is failing here,

276
00:16:48,900 –> 00:16:52,100
he thought he was going to die
with Christ and he’s failing

277
00:16:52,100 –> 00:16:54,100
right off the bat failing
miserably.

278
00:16:54,500 –> 00:16:59,400
Jesus is winning the war.
He’s fighting his Tendencies to

279
00:16:59,400 –> 00:17:02,000
sin.
He doesn’t give Into his natural

280
00:17:02,000 –> 00:17:04,400
desires.
He’s not afraid of what these

281
00:17:04,400 –> 00:17:07,500
people are going to do him and
all along the way.

282
00:17:07,500 –> 00:17:11,599
He’s having compassion on people
compassion, even people that

283
00:17:11,608 –> 00:17:15,200
were wanting to kill him and
compassion on on Peter who

284
00:17:15,200 –> 00:17:18,900
denied him.
So then the trials occur in John

285
00:17:18,900 –> 00:17:20,599
18.
Here’s Jesus before.

286
00:17:20,599 –> 00:17:23,599
Anna’s remember, they took Jesus
to Anna’s first because he would

287
00:17:23,599 –> 00:17:25,400
have been the older, man.
He used to be the high priest

288
00:17:25,400 –> 00:17:28,700
and not as what his son-in-law’s
in charge Caiaphas.

289
00:17:28,700 –> 00:17:31,500
So the high priest and ask Jesus
about his disciples Tools in his

290
00:17:31,500 –> 00:17:33,600
Doctrine.
See what he’s doing, right away.

291
00:17:33,600 –> 00:17:35,400
He wants to find out.
All right, who are your

292
00:17:35,400 –> 00:17:37,600
disciples?
And what were you teaching?

293
00:17:38,100 –> 00:17:41,300
And Jesus answered him.
I spoke openly to the world.

294
00:17:41,300 –> 00:17:43,900
I always taught in the
synagogues and in the temple

295
00:17:44,200 –> 00:17:47,600
where the Jews always meet and
in secret, I have said nothing.

296
00:17:47,800 –> 00:17:51,200
Why do you ask me?
Ask those who have heard me and

297
00:17:51,200 –> 00:17:54,300
what I said to them.
Indeed, they know what I said

298
00:17:54,900 –> 00:17:57,400
and when he had said these
things, one of the officers who

299
00:17:57,400 –> 00:18:01,000
stood by Jesus struck, Jesus,
with the palm of his hand.

300
00:18:01,100 –> 00:18:03,700
Saying do you answer the high
priest like that?

301
00:18:03,900 –> 00:18:08,000
So here’s the first time he gets
hit and Jesus answered them if

302
00:18:08,000 –> 00:18:10,600
I’ve spoken evil bear witness of
the evil.

303
00:18:11,000 –> 00:18:14,100
But if well why do you strike me
then?

304
00:18:14,100 –> 00:18:16,800
Anna sent him bound to Caiaphas
the high priest.

305
00:18:17,100 –> 00:18:20,700
But see even here in the midst
of this standing there on trial

306
00:18:20,800 –> 00:18:24,000
and they’re good of, they’re
trying to like find out who his

307
00:18:24,000 –> 00:18:27,500
disciples iron, he’s trying to
protect them and they’re trying

308
00:18:27,500 –> 00:18:30,200
to like pry into him and find
things they can they can use

309
00:18:30,200 –> 00:18:33,400
against him.
Jesus doesn’t throw up threats.

310
00:18:33,500 –> 00:18:37,500
No verbal retaliation.
That’s not how he responds

311
00:18:37,500 –> 00:18:42,900
because he’s winning the war
against sin in Matthew 26.

312
00:18:43,300 –> 00:18:45,000
Then those who had laid, hold of
Jesus.

313
00:18:45,000 –> 00:18:47,400
They lead him away to Caiaphas
the high priest, where the

314
00:18:47,400 –> 00:18:49,100
scribes and the elders were
assembled.

315
00:18:49,100 –> 00:18:51,600
So, here we go.
The big trials, going to begin

316
00:18:51,900 –> 00:18:54,900
and Peter, followed him into
distance to the high priests

317
00:18:54,900 –> 00:18:57,000
Courtyard.
Any win and set with the

318
00:18:57,000 –> 00:19:00,500
servants to see the end.
Now, the chief priests the

319
00:19:00,500 –> 00:19:02,900
elders.
And all the council sought false

320
00:19:02,900 –> 00:19:06,400
testimony against Jesus to put
him to death, but found, none,

321
00:19:06,800 –> 00:19:09,900
even though many false Witnesses
came forward, they found none.

322
00:19:10,600 –> 00:19:14,200
But at last two, false Witnesses
came forward and said this

323
00:19:14,200 –> 00:19:18,000
fellow said I’m able to destroy
the temple of God and build it

324
00:19:18,000 –> 00:19:21,700
in three days.
And you watch here is Jesus, in

325
00:19:21,700 –> 00:19:24,700
during all of this, he’s
watching this going on, he

326
00:19:24,700 –> 00:19:28,500
realized what a what a fake, it
was, what a false trial, how

327
00:19:28,500 –> 00:19:31,700
illegal it was and they’re
seeking false This is and

328
00:19:31,700 –> 00:19:35,700
somebody comes forward but he
endures all of this and he

329
00:19:35,700 –> 00:19:38,600
doesn’t yell at them.
He doesn’t scream at them.

330
00:19:38,800 –> 00:19:42,600
He doesn’t threaten any of them.
He accepts the fact that these

331
00:19:42,600 –> 00:19:45,100
people are going to treat him
like this.

332
00:19:45,400 –> 00:19:48,200
And that’s that’s what the
gospels present.

333
00:19:48,200 –> 00:19:53,600
Jesus takes it all in, in
Matthew 26, verse 62, the high

334
00:19:53,600 –> 00:19:57,400
priest in River Rises and he
says to him, do you answered

335
00:19:57,400 –> 00:19:59,300
nothing?
What is it that these men

336
00:19:59,300 –> 00:20:04,500
testify against you But Jesus
kept silent, the high priest

337
00:20:04,500 –> 00:20:07,400
answered and said to him, I put
you under oath by the Living.

338
00:20:07,400 –> 00:20:09,500
God, tell us.
If you are the Christ, the son

339
00:20:09,500 –> 00:20:13,500
of God, Jesus said to him.
It is, as you said,

340
00:20:14,200 –> 00:20:17,700
nevertheless, I say to you here.
After you will see the son of

341
00:20:17,700 –> 00:20:22,000
man sitting at the right hand of
power and coming on the Clouds

342
00:20:22,000 –> 00:20:26,400
Of Heaven, he tells him the
truth, then the high priest tore

343
00:20:26,400 –> 00:20:28,900
his clothes saying he spoken
blasphemy.

344
00:20:29,000 –> 00:20:30,900
What further need do?
We have of Witnesses look.

345
00:20:31,500 –> 00:20:32,800
Now, you have heard his
blasphemy.

346
00:20:32,800 –> 00:20:35,600
What do you think?
And they answered and said he is

347
00:20:35,600 –> 00:20:41,400
deserving of death and they spat
in his face, they beat him and

348
00:20:41,400 –> 00:20:43,500
others.
Struck him with the palms of

349
00:20:43,500 –> 00:20:47,400
their hands saying prophesy to
us Christ, who is the one who

350
00:20:47,400 –> 00:20:51,300
struck you but Jesus was silent
to all that.

351
00:20:51,400 –> 00:20:56,100
The only thing he responded to
was to say the truth that he was

352
00:20:56,100 –> 00:21:00,500
the Christ.
The son of God and look 23 then

353
00:21:00,500 –> 00:21:03,100
they dragged him.
Pilot because now the Jews have

354
00:21:03,100 –> 00:21:05,600
finally realized they’ve
organized and they’ve agreed on

355
00:21:05,600 –> 00:21:08,700
the fact he’s got to die now,
they got to come into pilot.

356
00:21:09,000 –> 00:21:14,400
So Luke 23 at verse 20, it look
23, this should be yours is 125.

357
00:21:14,600 –> 00:21:17,700
The whole multitude of them
arose and led him to pilate, and

358
00:21:17,700 –> 00:21:21,200
they began to accuse him saying.
We found this fellow perverting,

359
00:21:21,200 –> 00:21:24,300
the nation and forbidding to pay
taxes to Caesar saying that he

360
00:21:24,300 –> 00:21:27,700
himself is Christ.
The King Jesus could have jumped

361
00:21:27,700 –> 00:21:29,700
in and said, come on.
Guys, this is what you said

362
00:21:29,700 –> 00:21:32,100
before.
You’ve changed the Charters now,

363
00:21:32,200 –> 00:21:34,600
now that I’m before Pilate,
you’ve changed everything

364
00:21:34,600 –> 00:21:37,700
because now you got to justify
this to a Roman Governor.

365
00:21:38,300 –> 00:21:41,800
The pilot asked him saying, are
you the king of the Jews and he

366
00:21:41,800 –> 00:21:44,200
answered him and said, it is, as
you say.

367
00:21:44,400 –> 00:21:48,100
So he testified to that, he is
the king of the Jews.

368
00:21:48,600 –> 00:21:51,300
So pilate said to the chief
priests and the crowd, I find no

369
00:21:51,300 –> 00:21:54,200
fault in this man.
But they were, the more Fierce

370
00:21:54,200 –> 00:21:57,300
saying he stirs up the people
teaching throughout all Judea

371
00:21:57,300 –> 00:21:59,400
beginning From Galilee to this
place.

372
00:22:00,000 –> 00:22:02,900
And so, here he is again.
And having to endure false

373
00:22:02,900 –> 00:22:06,300
accusations claims from the
crowd about things that he was

374
00:22:06,300 –> 00:22:09,700
saying that weren’t true.
He never had said, things like

375
00:22:09,700 –> 00:22:13,100
that, and he endures all the
false accusations, he doesn’t

376
00:22:13,100 –> 00:22:15,600
retaliate.
He doesn’t scream at people and

377
00:22:15,600 –> 00:22:19,400
yell at them and he realizes
that he’s not going to change

378
00:22:19,400 –> 00:22:22,600
their minds.
So he endures it all, but he did

379
00:22:22,600 –> 00:22:25,900
confess that he was the king of
the Jews in all along.

380
00:22:25,900 –> 00:22:29,800
You can imagine that inside him,
his natural desires wanted to

381
00:22:29,800 –> 00:22:32,300
reach out.
They I had to yell at these

382
00:22:32,300 –> 00:22:36,700
people, they wanted to justify
himself, but he holds it in

383
00:22:36,700 –> 00:22:39,300
trusting that God’s way is
right?

384
00:22:39,900 –> 00:22:43,200
So then Herod pilate sends them
off to Herod, right?

385
00:22:43,200 –> 00:22:46,400
Because Herod was in charge of
the whole Galilean area up there

386
00:22:46,400 –> 00:22:49,500
in the north where Jesus, it’s
been a time, a lot of time and

387
00:22:49,500 –> 00:22:51,600
this is the same Herod who had
killed John.

388
00:22:52,000 –> 00:22:56,100
So, Luke 23 and verse 8.
When Herod saw Jesus, he was

389
00:22:56,100 –> 00:22:59,600
exceedingly, glad for he had
designed for a long time to see

390
00:22:59,600 –> 00:23:02,500
him because he’s heard many
things about Any hope to see

391
00:23:02,500 –> 00:23:05,800
some miracle done by him and
then he questioned him with many

392
00:23:05,800 –> 00:23:09,500
words but Jesus, they’re
answered him.

393
00:23:09,500 –> 00:23:11,500
Nothing.
He wasn’t going to talk to this

394
00:23:11,500 –> 00:23:13,300
guy.
This is the fellow who wouldn’t

395
00:23:13,300 –> 00:23:16,300
stand up and save.
Johnny killed John and beheaded

396
00:23:16,300 –> 00:23:18,300
him.
He’s going to answer him,

397
00:23:18,300 –> 00:23:21,300
nothing.
And then in verse 10, the chief

398
00:23:21,300 –> 00:23:24,800
priests and the scribes, they
stood and be hemant, Lee accused

399
00:23:24,800 –> 00:23:26,600
of.
They’re yelling at him, they’re

400
00:23:26,600 –> 00:23:30,700
claiming all kinds of false
accusations and then Herod with

401
00:23:30,700 –> 00:23:32,200
his men.
Men in verse 11.

402
00:23:32,200 –> 00:23:36,400
They treated him with contempt
and they mocked him and arrayed

403
00:23:36,400 –> 00:23:38,600
him in a gorgeous robe, they
mocked it.

404
00:23:38,600 –> 00:23:40,500
Oh yeah, real king, you are
right.

405
00:23:40,600 –> 00:23:44,000
And then I sent him back to
pilate, but in all of this, do

406
00:23:44,000 –> 00:23:47,800
you notice how the gospels never
say anything about Jesus getting

407
00:23:47,800 –> 00:23:50,200
angry?
Jesus retaliating.

408
00:23:50,200 –> 00:23:54,900
Jesus yelling at these people.
Because the gospels record the

409
00:23:54,900 –> 00:24:00,300
victory that Jesus won, when he
killed the devil, that’s what

410
00:24:00,300 –> 00:24:03,500
they’re out to do.
So then pilate take some back

411
00:24:03,600 –> 00:24:07,400
and look 23 and verse 13.
He called together the chief

412
00:24:07,400 –> 00:24:09,800
priests and rulers and the
people and said to them, you

413
00:24:09,800 –> 00:24:12,300
brought this man to me as one
who misleads the people, and

414
00:24:12,300 –> 00:24:14,600
indeed having examined him in
your presence.

415
00:24:14,600 –> 00:24:17,900
I find no fault in this man,
concerning those things of

416
00:24:17,900 –> 00:24:21,000
which, you accuse, him pilot
realize they were all false

417
00:24:21,000 –> 00:24:25,300
accusations false accusers.
No, neither did Herod or I sent

418
00:24:25,300 –> 00:24:27,700
them as far.
I sent you back to him.

419
00:24:28,700 –> 00:24:32,900
And indeed, nothing deserving of
death has been done by him.

420
00:24:33,300 –> 00:24:37,800
Therefore, I’ll chastise him and
release him for it was necessary

421
00:24:37,800 –> 00:24:40,900
for him to release one of them,
one to them at the feast.

422
00:24:41,000 –> 00:24:45,700
So pilate, admits Jesus,
innocence as Jesus silently,

423
00:24:45,700 –> 00:24:49,500
endures watching this knowing
what the crowds are going to do.

424
00:24:50,000 –> 00:24:54,700
So pilot in John 19, he takes
Jesus scourged him the soldiers

425
00:24:54,700 –> 00:24:57,100
Twisted, a crown of thorns and
put it on his head.

426
00:24:57,100 –> 00:25:00,500
They put on him a purple robe.
And they said, hail King of the

427
00:25:00,500 –> 00:25:04,100
Jews and they struck him with
her hands and pilate went out

428
00:25:04,100 –> 00:25:07,700
again and said, to them be
whole, I’m bringing him out to

429
00:25:07,700 –> 00:25:09,800
you that.
You may know that I find no

430
00:25:09,800 –> 00:25:13,200
fault in him.
So here’s Jesus, he’s enduring

431
00:25:13,200 –> 00:25:17,500
scourging and beating and
humiliation and mocking but

432
00:25:17,500 –> 00:25:22,100
there’s no record of him
complaining of threatening or

433
00:25:22,100 –> 00:25:27,300
retaliating nothing.
In Luke 23, then they All Cried

434
00:25:27,300 –> 00:25:28,300
Out.
Here’s the crowd.

435
00:25:28,300 –> 00:25:31,700
Sing away with this man and
release to us, Barabbas in verse

436
00:25:31,700 –> 00:25:35,400
18, who had been thrown into
prison for a certain Rebellion

437
00:25:35,400 –> 00:25:37,400
made in the city and for murder
pilate.

438
00:25:37,400 –> 00:25:40,400
Therefore wishing to release
Jesus again, called out to them.

439
00:25:40,400 –> 00:25:43,700
But they shouted saying crucify
him, crucify him.

440
00:25:44,200 –> 00:25:45,700
Then he said to them the third
time.

441
00:25:45,700 –> 00:25:50,400
Why what evil has he done?
I have I have found no reason

442
00:25:50,400 –> 00:25:53,400
for death in him.
I will therefore chastise him

443
00:25:53,400 –> 00:25:56,500
and let him go.
But they were insistent the

444
00:25:56,500 –> 00:25:59,200
Manning with loud voices, that
he be crucified.

445
00:25:59,400 –> 00:26:03,200
And the voices of these men and
of the chief priests prevailed.

446
00:26:03,500 –> 00:26:07,000
So pilate gave sentence that it
should be as they requested and

447
00:26:07,000 –> 00:26:09,600
he released to them.
The one they requested who for

448
00:26:09,600 –> 00:26:12,800
rebellion and murder had been
thrown into prison, but he

449
00:26:12,800 –> 00:26:17,500
delivered Jesus to their will in
all along in the gospels.

450
00:26:17,500 –> 00:26:22,100
There’s absolutely no mention of
any kind of verbal retaliation,

451
00:26:22,500 –> 00:26:26,800
no yelling and screaming from
But he’s trusting his God all

452
00:26:26,800 –> 00:26:29,800
the way and he’s fighting the
war in his mind that he was

453
00:26:29,800 –> 00:26:32,500
fighting in the garden and and
he’s winning.

454
00:26:32,800 –> 00:26:36,600
He’s winning the victory over
sin and he’s defeating this

455
00:26:36,600 –> 00:26:41,500
devil and putting him to death
in Luke 23 you know here they

456
00:26:41,500 –> 00:26:44,700
are, they’re going to crucify
him and he’s walking along and a

457
00:26:44,708 –> 00:26:48,400
great multitude of the people
followed in verse 27 and the

458
00:26:48,400 –> 00:26:50,500
women who also mourned and
lamented.

459
00:26:50,800 –> 00:26:54,100
But Jesus turns to them and says
Daughters of Jerusalem do not

460
00:26:54,200 –> 00:26:57,600
Not weep for me, but weep for
yourselves and for your

461
00:26:57,600 –> 00:27:00,700
children, for indeed, the dates
are coming in which they will

462
00:27:00,700 –> 00:27:02,000
say.
Blessed are the barren, the

463
00:27:02,000 –> 00:27:05,200
wombs that never bore and the
breasts, which never nursed,

464
00:27:05,600 –> 00:27:08,600
then they will begin to say to
the mountains fall on us and to

465
00:27:08,600 –> 00:27:11,400
the hills cover us for.
If they do these things in the

466
00:27:11,400 –> 00:27:13,700
Greenwood, what will be done in
the dry.

467
00:27:14,700 –> 00:27:18,900
And then, in verse 34, Jesus
said, father, forgive them for,

468
00:27:18,900 –> 00:27:23,900
they do not know what they do.
See, Jesus was on his way to the

469
00:27:23,900 –> 00:27:26,800
father.
He knew, his father was going to

470
00:27:26,800 –> 00:27:30,000
raise him from the dead and that
he would be with his father

471
00:27:30,000 –> 00:27:33,600
forever.
But the way he got there was by

472
00:27:33,700 –> 00:27:37,500
having compassion on these
people trying to help them get

473
00:27:37,500 –> 00:27:39,700
through this.
Help them realize what they were

474
00:27:39,700 –> 00:27:43,000
doing and he feels so sorry for
those that are going to be

475
00:27:43,000 –> 00:27:46,900
facing the Terrible.
Houston, it was coming in ad 70.

476
00:27:47,600 –> 00:27:51,200
Now, what really amazed me in
all of this is one time when I

477
00:27:51,200 –> 00:27:53,900
guess when we were doing the
readings or listening to a talk

478
00:27:53,900 –> 00:27:57,100
somewhere and I realize both all
four gospels.

479
00:27:57,100 –> 00:28:01,500
Matthew Mark, Luke and John all
four gospels.

480
00:28:02,000 –> 00:28:06,300
When they record the
crucifixion, all they say is

481
00:28:06,800 –> 00:28:09,500
look at Matthew, then they
crucified him.

482
00:28:10,300 –> 00:28:13,700
Look at Mark 15 and When They
Crucified him.

483
00:28:14,400 –> 00:28:17,400
Look at Luke 23.
They came to the place called

484
00:28:17,400 –> 00:28:19,300
Calvary There.
They Crucified him.

485
00:28:20,300 –> 00:28:23,200
And in John 19, then the
soldiers when they had

486
00:28:23,200 –> 00:28:25,500
crucified, Jesus took his
garments.

487
00:28:26,000 –> 00:28:31,800
There is no mention of the pain,
the agony, the torture that

488
00:28:31,800 –> 00:28:36,600
these people did to him, the
gospels don’t record this at

489
00:28:36,600 –> 00:28:39,000
all.
Now, you’ve heard classes where

490
00:28:39,000 –> 00:28:42,400
people do this and they go into
all the details about how bad

491
00:28:42,400 –> 00:28:46,100
crucifixion was.
That’s not what the gospels

492
00:28:46,100 –> 00:28:51,100
record for us.
They record instead the victory

493
00:28:51,100 –> 00:28:56,400
that Jesus was winning all along
because he never gave in to sin

494
00:28:56,700 –> 00:29:00,300
while they’re killing him.
He’s killing the devil in

495
00:29:00,308 –> 00:29:02,800
himself and finally, Nails it to
the pole.

496
00:29:03,600 –> 00:29:07,900
So in Mark 15 in verse 27, he
says with him, they also

497
00:29:07,900 –> 00:29:11,500
crucified two robbers, one on
his rights and the other on his

498
00:29:11,500 –> 00:29:13,800
left.
So the scripture was fulfilled,

499
00:29:13,800 –> 00:29:16,100
which says Said he was numbered
with the transgressors.

500
00:29:16,300 –> 00:29:19,200
So here he is.
Being associated with criminals,

501
00:29:19,200 –> 00:29:22,800
put up on the cross and
crucified, but Jesus, he doesn’t

502
00:29:22,800 –> 00:29:26,800
attempt to justify that.
I think one of the, one of the

503
00:29:26,800 –> 00:29:30,100
criminals realize that but he
doesn’t try to do that.

504
00:29:30,100 –> 00:29:34,500
What he does instead is he tries
to help them through this and

505
00:29:34,500 –> 00:29:37,600
tries to convert them and he
works with them even on the

506
00:29:37,600 –> 00:29:39,700
cross.
That’s what he does.

507
00:29:40,400 –> 00:29:45,200
So in Mark 15, Mark records, it
here, he is hanging A pole and

508
00:29:45,200 –> 00:29:48,700
Marc records.
Not, not the violence, not the

509
00:29:48,700 –> 00:29:52,900
pain, not the agony that Jesus
is going through, but he records

510
00:29:52,900 –> 00:29:58,900
the mental torture, that Jesus
was overcoming in verse 29 and

511
00:29:58,900 –> 00:30:02,800
those who pass by blasphemed him
wagging, their heads and saying,

512
00:30:02,900 –> 00:30:05,800
aha, you who would destroy the
temple and build it in three

513
00:30:05,800 –> 00:30:09,000
days, save yourself and come
down from the cross.

514
00:30:09,400 –> 00:30:12,600
Likewise the chief priests also
mocking among themselves with

515
00:30:12,600 –> 00:30:16,800
the Scribe said he he saved
others himself, he cannot save.

516
00:30:16,800 –> 00:30:18,400
Let the Christ the King of
Israel.

517
00:30:18,400 –> 00:30:20,600
The sun.
Now from the cross that we may

518
00:30:20,600 –> 00:30:24,400
see and believe and even those
who were crucified with him,

519
00:30:24,400 –> 00:30:27,700
revile him.
And here’s Jesus putting up with

520
00:30:27,700 –> 00:30:32,600
all of this focused on trusting,
his God, realizing where he was

521
00:30:32,600 –> 00:30:37,300
headed, and he doesn’t give in
to sin and this is what the

522
00:30:37,300 –> 00:30:41,000
gospels want us to understand.
He’s never going to give in

523
00:30:41,000 –> 00:30:43,900
what, no matter what they do to
him, they put him through all

524
00:30:43,900 –> 00:30:47,900
the Yes, you could ever imagine
and he doesn’t give in to sin.

525
00:30:48,500 –> 00:30:51,100
Look how often we retaliate?
Brothers and sisters, people say

526
00:30:51,100 –> 00:30:53,600
things to us.
They say things that aren’t

527
00:30:53,600 –> 00:30:55,400
that.
You, we believe are not true and

528
00:30:55,400 –> 00:30:57,300
we had falsely accused and
different things.

529
00:30:57,500 –> 00:31:00,500
And our natural tendency is to
lash out at people.

530
00:31:00,700 –> 00:31:04,200
We want to justify ourselves
right away, but that’s not the

531
00:31:04,200 –> 00:31:06,400
spirit.
You’re going to see in Jesus

532
00:31:06,400 –> 00:31:08,900
Christ.
So that in John, 19 there,

533
00:31:08,900 –> 00:31:11,600
stood, by the cross of Jesus,
his mother, and his mother’s

534
00:31:11,600 –> 00:31:15,000
sister, in verse 25, Mary, the
wife of clopas We’ll put clopas

535
00:31:15,000 –> 00:31:18,900
and Mary Magdalene and when
Jesus, therefore, saw his mother

536
00:31:18,900 –> 00:31:21,900
and the disciple, whom he loved
standing by, he says, to his

537
00:31:21,900 –> 00:31:24,900
mother woman, behold your son.
And then he said that a

538
00:31:24,900 –> 00:31:27,800
disciple, behold your mother,
from that hour.

539
00:31:27,800 –> 00:31:30,800
The disciple took her to his
home home.

540
00:31:31,200 –> 00:31:35,200
So, here again, instead of
recording all the pain Jesus was

541
00:31:35,200 –> 00:31:39,400
in during the the suffering,
he’s going through the agony of

542
00:31:39,400 –> 00:31:43,400
trying to breathe and what he’s
experiencing, the gospels show

543
00:31:43,400 –> 00:31:46,500
us to in.
Midst of all of that, he has

544
00:31:46,500 –> 00:31:50,500
compassion for his mother and he
tries to set up his mother in a

545
00:31:50,500 –> 00:31:53,500
situation to look out for her
good in the future.

546
00:31:53,800 –> 00:31:57,100
He’s caring for others while
he’s going through his own

547
00:31:57,100 –> 00:32:00,100
suffering.
So when you look back at, how

548
00:32:00,100 –> 00:32:03,800
the gospels record the
crucifixion of Jesus, look at

549
00:32:03,800 –> 00:32:07,400
all the things that they don’t
record that we all would have

550
00:32:07,400 –> 00:32:09,700
put in there.
I know what I would have put in

551
00:32:09,700 –> 00:32:11,500
there.
I would have wanted to put in

552
00:32:11,500 –> 00:32:13,900
detailed descriptions of the
violence in the torture.

553
00:32:14,100 –> 00:32:16,400
Redundant Jesus.
You know, that one of what he

554
00:32:16,400 –> 00:32:19,600
went through and you know, this
is what you should expect

555
00:32:19,600 –> 00:32:23,600
Brethren and sisters.
If God was trying to teach us,

556
00:32:23,600 –> 00:32:27,400
that Jesus Christ was being
punished instead of us or that

557
00:32:27,400 –> 00:32:31,000
he was paying for our sins.
You would expect to see all of

558
00:32:31,000 –> 00:32:35,300
that recorded but that’s not
what the gospels record.

559
00:32:35,800 –> 00:32:38,000
We would have thought, you know,
the horrible pain.

560
00:32:38,000 –> 00:32:40,200
He felt is the nails were driven
into him.

561
00:32:40,200 –> 00:32:42,800
You’ve heard people describe
this and then when the pole was

562
00:32:42,800 –> 00:32:46,800
dropped into the ground, That’s
what we would record, but that’s

563
00:32:46,800 –> 00:32:51,400
not what the gospels record,
because that’s not what saves

564
00:32:51,400 –> 00:32:53,700
us.
The graphic depictions of the

565
00:32:53,700 –> 00:32:56,900
agony, Jesus experiences during
the hour that he hung on a

566
00:32:56,908 –> 00:33:00,900
cross, that’s what we would want
to record but that’s not what

567
00:33:00,900 –> 00:33:04,900
the gospels record because that
doesn’t save us either all the

568
00:33:04,900 –> 00:33:08,700
timeline of the energy being
drained from Jesus that slowly

569
00:33:08,700 –> 00:33:12,300
the life is just draining out of
him because he’s suffering and

570
00:33:12,300 –> 00:33:15,300
enduring.
And they don’t record that

571
00:33:15,300 –> 00:33:18,300
Brethren and sisters, because
that’s not what God wants us to

572
00:33:18,300 –> 00:33:22,300
remember.
Because that doesn’t motivate us

573
00:33:22,300 –> 00:33:26,000
to beats in.
It doesn’t have the power to

574
00:33:26,000 –> 00:33:29,700
beat sin.
That what the gospels do record

575
00:33:29,700 –> 00:33:33,600
have, what the gospels record is
that, no matter what people did,

576
00:33:33,600 –> 00:33:36,700
the Jesus, he doesn’t get into
sin.

577
00:33:37,000 –> 00:33:40,200
He doesn’t retaliate, he doesn’t
scream at people.

578
00:33:40,300 –> 00:33:43,400
He doesn’t mistreat people.
No matter what they were doing.

579
00:33:43,600 –> 00:33:46,200
Him.
And that’s what God wants us to

580
00:33:46,200 –> 00:33:51,300
remember, in the crucifixion of
Christ that we join him in a

581
00:33:51,300 –> 00:33:57,200
death, like his that every week,
we are reminded to show forth

582
00:33:57,200 –> 00:34:01,800
his death to sin until he comes.
That’s what we meet for on

583
00:34:01,800 –> 00:34:04,000
Sunday mornings.
We don’t come together to

584
00:34:04,000 –> 00:34:06,700
remember the violence and the
torture, and the pain, that he

585
00:34:06,700 –> 00:34:09,699
endured.
That doesn’t change our lives.

586
00:34:10,100 –> 00:34:13,500
But when you look at his
example, of no matter what, If

587
00:34:13,507 –> 00:34:18,699
people did to him, he trusted
God, he had faith in his God and

588
00:34:18,699 –> 00:34:22,900
he therefore was kind and
compassionate and caring and

589
00:34:22,900 –> 00:34:27,300
thinking of others first, that’s
what God wants us to remember.

590
00:34:28,000 –> 00:34:31,000
So, be careful because, you
know, a lot of times you hear in

591
00:34:31,000 –> 00:34:34,000
Christian churches and you hear
people talk about Jesus dying

592
00:34:34,000 –> 00:34:37,199
instead of us.
But God can’t save us.

593
00:34:37,199 –> 00:34:39,100
If that’s what we believe.
He didn’t die.

594
00:34:39,100 –> 00:34:42,500
Instead of us.
Do you said Jesus, you know, you

595
00:34:42,500 –> 00:34:43,300
can’t go.
I can’t.

596
00:34:43,400 –> 00:34:46,000
Debut by having Jesus tortured
for us.

597
00:34:46,000 –> 00:34:50,199
That doesn’t save us and having
Jesus punished for our sins.

598
00:34:50,199 –> 00:34:54,300
That’s crazy, because that, that
presents God in such a way that,

599
00:34:54,300 –> 00:34:57,400
you know, he’s an unjust God
punishing somebody else for our

600
00:34:57,408 –> 00:35:00,200
mistakes.
And even the idea that floats

601
00:35:00,200 –> 00:35:02,700
around once in awhile, that
Jesus died to show us what

602
00:35:02,700 –> 00:35:05,800
Sinners deserve that isn’t what
the Bible presents.

603
00:35:05,800 –> 00:35:10,400
Because God never said, we
deserve to be crucified when

604
00:35:10,400 –> 00:35:13,000
Adam and Eve sinned.
God never said that in the day

605
00:35:13,000 –> 00:35:13,900
that you eat.
Eat of it.

606
00:35:13,900 –> 00:35:17,800
You should be tortured and put
up on a pole and killed God

607
00:35:17,800 –> 00:35:21,700
never said that.
And so it’s not right to present

608
00:35:21,700 –> 00:35:24,800
the crucifixion that way.
This is not the righteousness of

609
00:35:24,800 –> 00:35:30,100
God and it lacks the power that
we need to fight sin and destroy

610
00:35:30,100 –> 00:35:33,800
the Devil.
So Christ’s death really was to

611
00:35:33,800 –> 00:35:37,500
destroy sin Hebrews. 2:14, I’ve
mentioned a couple of times

612
00:35:37,500 –> 00:35:40,600
first John, three and five, he
was manifested to take away our

613
00:35:40,600 –> 00:35:43,800
sins and First John 3 and 8.
This was the Purpose.

614
00:35:43,800 –> 00:35:47,100
The Son of God was manifested
that he might destroy the works

615
00:35:47,100 –> 00:35:50,800
of the devil and there’s so many
Bible references that bring this

616
00:35:50,800 –> 00:35:53,000
out.
That that was the purpose of the

617
00:35:53,000 –> 00:35:56,500
death of Christ.
Someone had to literally destroy

618
00:35:56,500 –> 00:35:58,500
sin.
That’s why an angel couldn’t

619
00:35:58,500 –> 00:36:00,500
save us.
They can’t destroy sin.

620
00:36:00,600 –> 00:36:03,800
They don’t even have the the
Tendencies to send that we have.

621
00:36:03,800 –> 00:36:06,200
It had to be somebody of our
race.

622
00:36:06,700 –> 00:36:10,900
And so the Bible records in the
gospels, that no matter what

623
00:36:10,900 –> 00:36:14,600
people did to Jesus Christ, no
matter What test you was put

624
00:36:14,600 –> 00:36:17,700
through.
He never gave in to sin.

625
00:36:18,000 –> 00:36:22,300
He destroyed King sin.
So, when we look at the cross,

626
00:36:22,300 –> 00:36:25,700
and we remember the death of
Jesus on Sunday mornings, you

627
00:36:25,700 –> 00:36:29,000
know, we have to have the right
perspective of what God wants us

628
00:36:29,000 –> 00:36:33,800
to see in this, the Romans and
the Jews, they tortured Jesus

629
00:36:33,800 –> 00:36:36,600
and they killed them because
they thought he deserved it.

630
00:36:36,700 –> 00:36:38,800
That’s what they’re thinking.
And there for you, they would

631
00:36:38,800 –> 00:36:41,900
emphasize all the pain and the
agony and all of that.

632
00:36:42,200 –> 00:36:45,600
But what God, Wants us to
understand Brethren and sisters,

633
00:36:45,600 –> 00:36:48,900
what he wants us to see when we
think about the crucifixion and

634
00:36:48,900 –> 00:36:52,100
the cross.
He wants us to see that what him

635
00:36:52,100 –> 00:36:56,400
and Jesus were doing is they
were killing the double, the

636
00:36:56,400 –> 00:36:59,100
power of sin.
The two of them were going up

637
00:36:59,100 –> 00:37:01,700
together and they were
destroying the devil and never

638
00:37:01,700 –> 00:37:05,700
letting the devil win this war.
And that’s what they did all the

639
00:37:05,700 –> 00:37:09,000
way through the cross.
And therefore Jesus showed us

640
00:37:09,500 –> 00:37:13,800
God’s righteous way to live.
See the Action.

641
00:37:13,800 –> 00:37:17,000
And the death of Jesus is not a
negative thing.

642
00:37:17,100 –> 00:37:20,400
It’s not something that’s about
punishment and about torture and

643
00:37:20,400 –> 00:37:23,700
all those things.
What it was designed by God, to

644
00:37:23,700 –> 00:37:28,100
do, was to teach us how to live,
God was trying to give us an

645
00:37:28,100 –> 00:37:32,500
example that we would never
forget how he wants his children

646
00:37:32,500 –> 00:37:37,100
to live trusting him and
accepting the fact that he is in

647
00:37:37,100 –> 00:37:40,600
control and remembering that.
And when you look at that, which

648
00:37:40,600 –> 00:37:43,700
one of these has the power to
change your life which One of

649
00:37:43,707 –> 00:37:48,600
these is going to draw you away
from sin and lead you into being

650
00:37:48,600 –> 00:37:53,600
slaves of God, and it certainly
when we join Jesus Christ in his

651
00:37:53,600 –> 00:37:56,200
death to send, that’s the one
that has power.

652
00:37:56,700 –> 00:38:00,900
So on the cross, Jesus was not
suffering, you know, the punish

653
00:38:00,900 –> 00:38:04,000
somebody else’s punishment.
That’s not why God put him up on

654
00:38:04,000 –> 00:38:06,400
the pole.
That’s not what was going on.

655
00:38:06,400 –> 00:38:09,400
And he wasn’t illustrating the
punishment that Sinners deserve.

656
00:38:09,400 –> 00:38:12,700
That isn’t right.
And he didn’t deserve the cross

657
00:38:12,700 –> 00:38:15,700
because he had, A human nature.
Sometimes, sometimes

658
00:38:15,700 –> 00:38:18,200
christadelphians have gone to
the Other Extreme and say, well,

659
00:38:18,200 –> 00:38:20,700
because he had human nature, he
really deserve to be up there

660
00:38:20,700 –> 00:38:23,800
and all that isn’t right either.
The state, you’ll never find the

661
00:38:23,800 –> 00:38:29,600
words, deserve and Punishment
used by Bible writers about the

662
00:38:29,600 –> 00:38:33,100
death of Jesus Christ about our
atonement, it’s not about

663
00:38:33,100 –> 00:38:36,900
punishment and it’s not about
anybody deserving, that it’s,

664
00:38:36,900 –> 00:38:40,400
that’s not what God wants us to
see in all of this.

665
00:38:40,700 –> 00:38:43,300
And Christ was not going through
some ritual.

666
00:38:43,400 –> 00:38:46,200
Ceremony to save us.
It’s not like, well, he was just

667
00:38:46,200 –> 00:38:49,100
the best sacrifice that anybody
had ever offered.

668
00:38:49,100 –> 00:38:52,500
You know that he comes along.
That’s not what this is about

669
00:38:52,700 –> 00:38:56,600
what God was trying to do over
and over again.

670
00:38:56,600 –> 00:39:01,400
And the scriptures was to show
us and teach us how to live the

671
00:39:01,400 –> 00:39:04,200
righteousness of God in our
daily lives.

672
00:39:04,600 –> 00:39:07,300
That’s what he had been doing
all along through all the

673
00:39:07,300 –> 00:39:11,200
rituals through circumcisions,
through animal sacrifice,

674
00:39:11,200 –> 00:39:14,600
through all of them.
The, the Passover Was this idea

675
00:39:14,600 –> 00:39:19,200
of trying to convince us to die
to sin and live to

676
00:39:19,200 –> 00:39:21,200
righteousness?
That’s what God was.

677
00:39:21,200 –> 00:39:25,900
After see if we fall into the
substitutionary ideas that are

678
00:39:25,900 –> 00:39:29,300
out there in the churches, then
you, they end up thinking Jesus

679
00:39:29,300 –> 00:39:32,900
died in my place is my
substitute instead of me now, he

680
00:39:32,900 –> 00:39:34,900
died.
Instead of me, he did it for me

681
00:39:34,900 –> 00:39:38,100
instead of me or Jesus took my
place and he suffered the

682
00:39:38,100 –> 00:39:42,000
punishment I deserve and they
like that because therefore I

683
00:39:42,000 –> 00:39:44,700
get to escape all.
The punishment because all my

684
00:39:44,700 –> 00:39:47,300
sins have been borne Away by
Jesus Christ.

685
00:39:47,800 –> 00:39:49,900
That’s why it’s such a popular
view.

686
00:39:50,800 –> 00:39:55,100
But Christine Elkins are the few
who understand that when Jesus

687
00:39:55,100 –> 00:39:58,800
died, he died to redeem himself
first.

688
00:39:58,900 –> 00:40:02,200
As our representative is one of
us mean, that’s what God has all

689
00:40:02,200 –> 00:40:04,700
God could do.
At that point was saved his

690
00:40:04,700 –> 00:40:09,100
sons, and he set out to save his
son and Jesus wasn’t suffering.

691
00:40:09,100 –> 00:40:13,100
Anybody else’s punishment.
He willingly died to show us

692
00:40:13,100 –> 00:40:16,600
that It’s in, must be conquered
and put the death, and we must

693
00:40:16,600 –> 00:40:19,100
be living.
The will of God.

694
00:40:19,300 –> 00:40:21,100
That’s what he set out to show
us.

695
00:40:21,100 –> 00:40:25,200
That’s what the crucifixion is,
supposed to represent to us and

696
00:40:25,200 –> 00:40:30,100
therefore it has power that we
follow his example, that daily,

697
00:40:30,100 –> 00:40:33,700
we take up our cross and we
follow him, we are crucified

698
00:40:33,700 –> 00:40:38,000
with Christ and we put the death
are evil desires and we live for

699
00:40:38,000 –> 00:40:43,100
God just like Jesus did.
So, representation has power

700
00:40:43,400 –> 00:40:48,800
Motivates us to join with Christ
in a death, like his see all the

701
00:40:48,800 –> 00:40:51,400
way through the Bible starting.
I think with Adam and Eve when

702
00:40:51,400 –> 00:40:54,700
they first sent and God clothed
them with garments, God must

703
00:40:54,700 –> 00:40:57,500
have probably killed an animal
maybe before them and right

704
00:40:57,500 –> 00:40:59,600
afterwards.
You find in Genesis for that

705
00:40:59,600 –> 00:41:03,400
already Cain and Abel or are
offering sacrifices enable

706
00:41:03,400 –> 00:41:07,800
brings an animal because what
God was trying to teach with

707
00:41:07,800 –> 00:41:11,800
animal sacrifice, is that animal
is the Messiah.

708
00:41:12,200 –> 00:41:14,300
He’s going to have an Nature
like yours.

709
00:41:14,300 –> 00:41:17,600
He’s animal desires that are in
you but he’s going to be without

710
00:41:17,600 –> 00:41:20,300
blemish.
So God says, look at you.

711
00:41:20,300 –> 00:41:24,300
Lay your hands on him.
You identify with Jesus Christ

712
00:41:24,300 –> 00:41:27,400
with that Messiah, and you kill
that animal.

713
00:41:27,500 –> 00:41:31,200
You commit yourself, to die to
sin with him.

714
00:41:31,500 –> 00:41:37,300
And if you do that, then then I
can cover your sins and I will

715
00:41:37,300 –> 00:41:40,200
redeem you.
This is what God had been trying

716
00:41:40,200 –> 00:41:44,500
to teach all along but
inevitably Human people want to

717
00:41:44,500 –> 00:41:48,200
turn it into some form of
substitution where the animal

718
00:41:48,200 –> 00:41:50,800
dies, instead of me.
That’s what they liked.

719
00:41:51,100 –> 00:41:54,500
But God was trying to teach the
work that he would accomplish

720
00:41:54,500 –> 00:41:58,700
through Jesus Christ.
If we identify with him, see

721
00:41:58,700 –> 00:42:00,100
the, you’ll get the
misconceptions.

722
00:42:00,100 –> 00:42:03,100
And animal sacrifice people come
along and say, well, the animal

723
00:42:03,100 –> 00:42:06,000
died instead of me, and that’s
what happened animal dies

724
00:42:06,000 –> 00:42:08,500
instead.
But you got to remember, this is

725
00:42:08,500 –> 00:42:11,800
representing the great work.
God would accomplish in Jesus

726
00:42:11,800 –> 00:42:15,400
Christ, and if you Think the
animal died instead of me, then

727
00:42:15,400 –> 00:42:18,200
you transfer that over and say,
well, Jesus Christ died, instead

728
00:42:18,200 –> 00:42:21,800
of me, or you think the animal
died to show me what I deserve.

729
00:42:21,800 –> 00:42:24,600
Some kind of violent death and
then you end up thinking, was

730
00:42:24,600 –> 00:42:27,600
that why Jesus died on the cross
to show me that I deserve a

731
00:42:27,600 –> 00:42:31,600
violent death.
No, because God’s not trying to

732
00:42:31,600 –> 00:42:34,400
punish us.
He’s not trying to hammer us

733
00:42:34,400 –> 00:42:37,000
down and drive us in the ground
and keep telling us that you

734
00:42:37,000 –> 00:42:39,000
deserve to die, you deserve to
die.

735
00:42:39,400 –> 00:42:43,200
What he wants to do, brothers
and sisters is teach us how

736
00:42:43,400 –> 00:42:47,300
We’re supposed to live.
So remember that the animal

737
00:42:47,300 –> 00:42:49,500
represented?
Jesus Christ.

738
00:42:49,800 –> 00:42:52,900
And he died to show us the way
back to God.

739
00:42:52,900 –> 00:42:57,000
And the way back is by putting
sin to death in doing the will

740
00:42:57,000 –> 00:43:00,200
of God.
Now, if you think that sort of

741
00:43:00,200 –> 00:43:04,100
far out and then I’m off base,
you look in the New Testament as

742
00:43:04,100 –> 00:43:07,600
you’re reading through it, watch
how the New Testament writers

743
00:43:07,900 –> 00:43:10,400
refer to the sacrifice of
Christ.

744
00:43:10,600 –> 00:43:13,200
Do they mention punishment?
Do they mention?

745
00:43:13,300 –> 00:43:16,600
What we deserve that, Sinners
deserve death that do they

746
00:43:16,600 –> 00:43:21,000
mention those kind of things,
know what you see instead is

747
00:43:21,000 –> 00:43:25,400
like, first Peter to but when
you do good and suffer if you

748
00:43:25,400 –> 00:43:29,400
take it patiently, this is
commendable before God or to

749
00:43:29,400 –> 00:43:33,200
this, you were called because
Christ also suffered for us

750
00:43:33,600 –> 00:43:37,900
leaving us an example that you
should follow his steps.

751
00:43:38,400 –> 00:43:41,800
Who committed.
No sin nor was deceit found in

752
00:43:41,800 –> 00:43:43,200
his mouth.
Who?

753
00:43:43,300 –> 00:43:47,500
When he was reviled did not
revile in return when he

754
00:43:47,500 –> 00:43:52,800
suffered, he didn’t threaten but
committed himself to him who

755
00:43:52,800 –> 00:43:57,200
judges righteously, see there’s
that trusting, God aspect that

756
00:43:57,200 –> 00:44:00,400
you see in the gospels who
himself.

757
00:44:00,400 –> 00:44:03,400
Bore our sins in his own body,
on the tree.

758
00:44:03,400 –> 00:44:08,700
That that what that we that we
go free, know that we having

759
00:44:08,700 –> 00:44:14,100
died to sins might live for
righteousness by his Stripes you

760
00:44:14,100 –> 00:44:18,300
were healed, we are spiritually
healed because he has the power

761
00:44:18,300 –> 00:44:22,800
to draw us brothers and sisters
from a life of Slavery to sin to

762
00:44:22,800 –> 00:44:27,100
where we become slaves of God.
As Paul says, in Romans, 6, we

763
00:44:27,200 –> 00:44:31,600
come slaves of God and slaves of
righteousness because we take up

764
00:44:31,600 –> 00:44:33,900
our cross daily and we follow
him.

765
00:44:34,300 –> 00:44:37,800
So, when Paul covers this in
Romans 6, I love the way Paul

766
00:44:37,800 –> 00:44:41,600
deals with this because he never
mentions animal sacrifice.

767
00:44:41,600 –> 00:44:43,900
He never even mentioned
sacrifice, All when he’s

768
00:44:43,900 –> 00:44:47,800
explaining the atonement,
instead he tells you exactly

769
00:44:47,800 –> 00:44:50,700
what that meant.
Here’s what we were supposed to

770
00:44:50,700 –> 00:44:53,900
learn.
So in verse 3 of Romans 6 or do

771
00:44:53,900 –> 00:44:57,000
you not know that as many of us
as were baptized into Christ?

772
00:44:57,000 –> 00:44:59,500
Jesus were baptized into his
death.

773
00:45:00,000 –> 00:45:04,500
Therefore we were buried with
him through baptism into death

774
00:45:04,800 –> 00:45:08,100
that just as Christ was raised
from the dead by the glory of

775
00:45:08,100 –> 00:45:12,800
the father, even so we also
should walk in newness of life.

776
00:45:13,200 –> 00:45:18,000
See if we are baptized into that
death into his death to sin,

777
00:45:18,200 –> 00:45:22,900
then we rise out of the waters,
committed to walking in a new

778
00:45:22,900 –> 00:45:26,300
way of life, this has power to
change our lives.

779
00:45:26,600 –> 00:45:29,900
We’re not baptized into his
death of some violent death of

780
00:45:29,900 –> 00:45:34,300
torture and crucifixion were
baptized into the death that he

781
00:45:34,300 –> 00:45:38,100
died.
When he destroyed the devil for

782
00:45:38,100 –> 00:45:41,800
in verse 5, if we have been
United together in the likeness

783
00:45:41,800 –> 00:45:45,900
of his death, Certainly we shall
be in the likeness of his

784
00:45:45,900 –> 00:45:49,500
resurrection.
Knowing this, that our old man

785
00:45:49,500 –> 00:45:54,400
was crucified with him that the
body of sin might be done away

786
00:45:54,400 –> 00:45:57,600
with that.
We should no longer be slaves of

787
00:45:57,600 –> 00:46:00,200
sin.
We’ve been crucified with him

788
00:46:00,400 –> 00:46:05,200
because we are now joining with
him in his death to sin, we have

789
00:46:05,200 –> 00:46:10,600
committed to walk out of baptism
in a newness of Life slaves of

790
00:46:10,600 –> 00:46:15,100
God, no longer slaves of sin.
Or you look at how Paul deals

791
00:46:15,100 –> 00:46:18,300
with this and second Corinthians
4 at verse 7.

792
00:46:18,700 –> 00:46:21,800
But we have this treasure in
Earthen vessels that the

793
00:46:21,800 –> 00:46:24,900
Excellency of the power may be
of God and not of us.

794
00:46:25,400 –> 00:46:28,400
We are hard pressed on every
side yet not crushed.

795
00:46:28,600 –> 00:46:31,900
We are perplexed, but not in
despair, persecuted.

796
00:46:31,900 –> 00:46:35,700
But not, forsaken, struck down,
but not destroyed.

797
00:46:35,900 –> 00:46:38,800
See, all these things.
That happened to Paul all the

798
00:46:38,800 –> 00:46:41,300
torture.
He was going through in verse

799
00:46:41,300 –> 00:46:43,800
10.
Always carrying a Out in the

800
00:46:43,800 –> 00:46:49,100
body, the dying of the Lord
Jesus that the life of Jesus

801
00:46:49,200 –> 00:46:53,500
Also may be manifested in our
bodies in our body for we who

802
00:46:53,500 –> 00:46:56,500
live are always delivered to
death for Jesus sake.

803
00:46:56,900 –> 00:47:01,200
That the life of Jesus Also may
be manifested in our mortal

804
00:47:01,200 –> 00:47:06,700
flesh so death is working in us
but life in you we have to Paul

805
00:47:06,700 –> 00:47:10,100
expects us to manifest the life
of Jesus.

806
00:47:10,800 –> 00:47:13,700
So when you Apostle Paul covers
this in here Bruised.

807
00:47:13,700 –> 00:47:16,700
And he’s talks about the fact
that Jesus, that even the law

808
00:47:16,700 –> 00:47:19,700
had predicted that God would
provide better sacrifices.

809
00:47:20,000 –> 00:47:23,000
That’s the word that Paul uses
when he speaks about Jesus

810
00:47:23,000 –> 00:47:25,500
coming.
But when Paul covers it in

811
00:47:25,500 –> 00:47:29,300
Romans, he covers it without the
language of sacrifices and

812
00:47:29,300 –> 00:47:32,000
offerings.
And instead, he says, we must be

813
00:47:32,000 –> 00:47:37,100
United together in the likeness
of his death that he says in,

814
00:47:37,100 –> 00:47:41,500
Romans 6 that he died unto sin,
that’s a victory that Jesus

815
00:47:41,500 –> 00:47:43,800
Christ one.
So you got to Remember when

816
00:47:43,800 –> 00:47:46,700
we’re looking at the Cross of
Christ with his crucifixion,

817
00:47:46,900 –> 00:47:50,700
he’s the reality that all these
sacrifices were based on.

818
00:47:50,700 –> 00:47:54,500
They were all Shadows of the
real work that God would do.

819
00:47:54,600 –> 00:47:59,400
When finally God developed a
son, who would totally destroy

820
00:47:59,400 –> 00:48:02,600
the Devil.
So that’s what Jesus Christ has

821
00:48:02,600 –> 00:48:05,500
accomplished.
So, the message of the Cross

822
00:48:05,500 –> 00:48:08,800
really is the power of God, for
those who are being saved.

823
00:48:08,800 –> 00:48:11,700
As Paul says, in First
Corinthians 1 at verse 18

824
00:48:12,000 –> 00:48:15,000
because Jesus did Declared the
righteousness of God.

825
00:48:15,100 –> 00:48:19,300
He declared God right for
requiring us to put sin to

826
00:48:19,300 –> 00:48:23,400
death, the death of Jesus
demonstrated, God’s love, it

827
00:48:23,400 –> 00:48:26,700
wasn’t punishment.
It wasn’t about what we deserve.

828
00:48:26,800 –> 00:48:31,000
It was the love of God poured
out as Paul covers in Romans 5

829
00:48:31,000 –> 00:48:35,200
how far God was willing to go to
change our lives.

830
00:48:35,200 –> 00:48:38,000
So he could save us into his
family forever.

831
00:48:38,200 –> 00:48:41,400
This is a loved base
relationship that we get with

832
00:48:41,400 –> 00:48:45,200
God not fear-based.
Because is John says that

833
00:48:45,300 –> 00:48:51,000
perfect love casts out fear.
Why because fear has to do with

834
00:48:51,000 –> 00:48:54,600
punishment and if we’re so
focused on that punishment

835
00:48:54,600 –> 00:48:58,300
brothers and sisters, we don’t
see what God has really done for

836
00:48:58,300 –> 00:49:02,500
us in the death of his son.
It was his love that was poured

837
00:49:02,500 –> 00:49:06,700
out because he was trying to
teach us how to live and this

838
00:49:06,700 –> 00:49:11,600
has the power to motivate us to
join with Christ daily and a

839
00:49:11,600 –> 00:49:15,800
death like his His death to
strengthen his death to sin and

840
00:49:15,800 –> 00:49:19,800
this was the strongest
motivation, God could ever give

841
00:49:19,800 –> 00:49:23,800
humans to join God.
In the war against in, he sent

842
00:49:23,800 –> 00:49:27,900
his son and he want you, you get
to watch his son, go through all

843
00:49:27,900 –> 00:49:32,300
the things that they did to him.
And he never gave in to sin.

844
00:49:33,200 –> 00:49:37,100
So what death do we Proclaim?
When we eat the bread and we

845
00:49:37,100 –> 00:49:39,600
drink the wine?
I hope we’re not just

846
00:49:39,600 –> 00:49:43,300
remembering all the violence
that was done to Jesus and All

847
00:49:43,300 –> 00:49:46,500
the pain that he endured and all
the suffering that he went

848
00:49:46,500 –> 00:49:49,000
through.
What we have to remember,

849
00:49:49,000 –> 00:49:53,100
brother and sisters is what
Jesus did to sin.

850
00:49:53,200 –> 00:49:56,500
He killed it.
We want to remember his death to

851
00:49:56,500 –> 00:50:01,600
sin, he never gave in God’s
power was at work in him and he

852
00:50:01,600 –> 00:50:06,100
beat it down and destroyed it.
And that’s what he has asked us

853
00:50:06,100 –> 00:50:08,800
to do to be crucified with
Christ.

854
00:50:09,400 –> 00:50:11,000
Now, look at this class in no
way.

855
00:50:11,000 –> 00:50:14,700
Minimizes the suffering Jesus.
Went through for us, I realized

856
00:50:14,700 –> 00:50:17,300
what he went through was
terrible, but you can even look

857
00:50:17,300 –> 00:50:20,300
at all the pain and the agony
that he endured for us.

858
00:50:20,300 –> 00:50:25,600
But let’s be honest, many humans
have suffered torturous, painful

859
00:50:25,600 –> 00:50:29,600
deaths, Jesus was not
necessarily the worst people

860
00:50:29,600 –> 00:50:32,800
have been burned at the stake.
They’ve been tortured for four

861
00:50:32,800 –> 00:50:38,500
days and weeks and months, but
those torturous deaths can’t

862
00:50:38,500 –> 00:50:40,900
save us.
That doesn’t save us.

863
00:50:40,900 –> 00:50:43,200
Brothers and sisters, what saves
us.

864
00:50:43,107 –> 00:50:47,700
Is when we identify whether
Messiah the Son of God who

865
00:50:47,700 –> 00:50:53,400
destroyed sin puts in du du and
we identify with him, we lay our

866
00:50:53,400 –> 00:50:57,800
hands on him and we commit
ourselves to die with him to

867
00:50:57,800 –> 00:51:00,300
send.
That’s what has the power to

868
00:51:00,300 –> 00:51:03,300
save us so that we can say,
like, Paul, I have been

869
00:51:03,300 –> 00:51:06,900
crucified with Christ.
It is no longer I who live but

870
00:51:06,900 –> 00:51:11,700
Christ who lives in me and the
life that I now live, I live by

871
00:51:11,700 –> 00:51:16,400
faith in the son of Son of God
who loved me and gave himself

872
00:51:16,400 –> 00:51:19,800
for me.
It’s all a positive message of

873
00:51:19,800 –> 00:51:23,700
the love of God about the faith
that that can develop within us

874
00:51:23,900 –> 00:51:28,400
and the power that that has to
change our lives so that God can

875
00:51:28,400 –> 00:51:32,600
give us eternal life with him.
And if we trust God and we let

876
00:51:32,600 –> 00:51:36,100
him do it, brother and sisters,
he will shape us into the image

877
00:51:36,100 –> 00:51:38,600
of Jesus Christ.
The same way.

878
00:51:38,600 –> 00:51:42,400
He shaped his son into his own
image, but it comes through

879
00:51:42,400 –> 00:51:44,900
trials.
It comes through suffering, we

880
00:51:44,900 –> 00:51:49,000
have to experience those things
because, like, Jesus Christ, we

881
00:51:49,000 –> 00:51:53,500
will learn obedience by the
things that we suffer suffer.

882
00:51:53,500 –> 00:51:58,200
So let God’s power through the
power of the Cross motivate Us

883
00:51:58,200 –> 00:52:02,800
in the days to come to Die,
daily to sin, and to live to God

884
00:52:02,800 –> 00:52:06,200
Like Jesus Christ Our Lord.
And when we take the bread and

885
00:52:06,200 –> 00:52:10,400
the wine on Sunday mornings,
let’s think about his death to

886
00:52:10,400 –> 00:52:13,500
sin.
He never gave in he trusted God

887
00:52:13,500 –> 00:52:17,100
all the way and look at what he
was thinking about helping other

888
00:52:17,100 –> 00:52:19,500
people.
That’s what he was focused on

889
00:52:19,500 –> 00:52:25,000
and we need to be like him and
we will be saved by his life and

890
00:52:25,000 –> 00:52:28,600
that’s the power of the Cross
power that can be at work within

891
00:52:28,600 –> 00:52:31,800
our lives.
