Class 1 from this series was used in GCT Episode 271.<\/p>\n
2
\n00:00:04,400 –> 00:00:06,120
\nday.
\nI really had a really good time <\/p>\n
3
\n00:00:06,120 –> 00:00:07,880
\nbeing able to have good
\ndiscussions with you all. <\/p>\n
4
\n00:00:08,760 –> 00:00:10,760
\nThank you.
\nI had a really good time <\/p>\n
5
\n00:00:10,760 –> 00:00:12,800
\nchatting with you all about
\ndifferent aspects of anxiety, <\/p>\n
6
\n00:00:12,800 –> 00:00:17,200
\nwhich sounds odd, but I did.
\nWe started off by establishing <\/p>\n
7
\n00:00:17,640 –> 00:00:21,600
\nin our first class yesterday,
\nwhat Christ was getting at in <\/p>\n
8
\n00:00:21,600 –> 00:00:25,000
\nMatthew Chapter six, one of the
\nrelationship between faith and <\/p>\n
9
\n00:00:25,000 –> 00:00:28,720
\nanxiety, and how the connector
\nbetween the two is values. <\/p>\n
10
\n00:00:28,720 –> 00:00:32,920
\nEssentially, anxiety, like many
\nother temptations, changes our <\/p>\n
11
\n00:00:32,920 –> 00:00:35,480
\nvalues in the moment.
\nIt tells us what should be <\/p>\n
12
\n00:00:35,480 –> 00:00:39,120
\nimportant, and often times that
\nimportance doesn’t match God’s <\/p>\n
13
\n00:00:39,120 –> 00:00:41,240
\nvalues, God’s levels of
\nimportance. <\/p>\n
14
\n00:00:42,000 –> 00:00:44,200
\nAnd with that we then thought
\nabout, well, what are the <\/p>\n
15
\n00:00:44,200 –> 00:00:47,680
\nimplications on guilt and
\nimplications on kind of the <\/p>\n
16
\n00:00:47,680 –> 00:00:50,520
\nmoral framework of how we
\nunderstand anxiety. <\/p>\n
17
\n00:00:50,960 –> 00:00:53,920
\nWe saw that anxiety in and of
\nitself shouldn’t make us feel <\/p>\n
18
\n00:00:53,920 –> 00:00:57,360
\nguilty, but it is a temptation,
\nand like other temptations, we <\/p>\n
19
\n00:00:57,360 –> 00:01:00,280
\nhave a responsibility to work
\nthrough that temptation, just <\/p>\n
20
\n00:01:00,280 –> 00:01:04,160
\nlike anger or lust.
\nIn our second class, we got into<\/p>\n
21
\n00:01:04,160 –> 00:01:06,760
\nthe actual process of How do I
\nWork Through it? <\/p>\n
22
\n00:01:07,120 –> 00:01:10,680
\nAnd we saw the four steps of how
\nto work through anxiety. <\/p>\n
23
\n00:01:11,440 –> 00:01:13,960
\nStarting off with talk to God
\nabout what you’re currently <\/p>\n
24
\n00:01:13,960 –> 00:01:16,960
\nfeeling, figure out what that
\ninternalized belief is. <\/p>\n
25
\n00:01:17,160 –> 00:01:19,720
\nFigure out what it is that
\nyou’re putting at the top of <\/p>\n
26
\n00:01:19,720 –> 00:01:23,840
\nyour values in those moments of
\nanxiety, and then talk to God <\/p>\n
27
\n00:01:23,840 –> 00:01:27,760
\nabout it and be honest with him.
\nStep two was Recognize what God <\/p>\n
28
\n00:01:27,760 –> 00:01:30,040
\nmight feel in this situation.
\nHow does he view this? <\/p>\n
29
\n00:01:30,320 –> 00:01:32,760
\nWhat do we know about God and
\nhis truth, and how does it <\/p>\n
30
\n00:01:32,760 –> 00:01:36,280
\nrelate to our current situation?
\nStep three was to think about <\/p>\n
31
\n00:01:36,280 –> 00:01:40,120
\nour past relationship with God
\nand to draw on that and use that<\/p>\n
32
\n00:01:40,120 –> 00:01:43,000
\nhistory in our current situation
\nto say, well, what? <\/p>\n
33
\n00:01:43,040 –> 00:01:45,120
\nWhat might God think here?
\nWhat has he done for me in the <\/p>\n
34
\n00:01:45,120 –> 00:01:47,840
\npast, and does that change how I
\nmight view this current <\/p>\n
35
\n00:01:47,840 –> 00:01:51,760
\nsituation?
\nAnd lastly, it was the hard <\/p>\n
36
\n00:01:51,760 –> 00:01:54,400
\nstep.
\nAct in accordance with the God’s<\/p>\n
37
\n00:01:54,400 –> 00:01:57,480
\ntruth, God’s values.
\nEven if we don’t feel like it at<\/p>\n
38
\n00:01:57,480 –> 00:01:59,960
\nthe moment.
\nEven if our values aren’t quite <\/p>\n
39
\n00:01:59,960 –> 00:02:02,800
\nthere, even if we don’t believe
\nthe things that we know are <\/p>\n
40
\n00:02:02,800 –> 00:02:04,240
\ntrue.
\nEven if we don’t have that <\/p>\n
41
\n00:02:04,240 –> 00:02:07,600
\ninternalized emotional belief
\nyet, when we choose to act that <\/p>\n
42
\n00:02:07,600 –> 00:02:10,600
\nway, and eventually the
\ninternalized belief will change,<\/p>\n
43
\n00:02:10,840 –> 00:02:14,600
\nit does eventually get there.
\nAnd then our discussion groups, <\/p>\n
44
\n00:02:14,600 –> 00:02:17,760
\nwe had some really fun
\nconversations, some hard hitting<\/p>\n
45
\n00:02:17,760 –> 00:02:20,600
\nquestions as well as some good
\nconversations to try to really <\/p>\n
46
\n00:02:20,920 –> 00:02:23,320
\nand still all this theory that
\nwe dealt with in the first two <\/p>\n
47
\n00:02:23,320 –> 00:02:26,280
\nclasses and bring it into
\npractice, actual steps. <\/p>\n
48
\n00:02:26,280 –> 00:02:29,280
\nAnd what does that look like for
\nyou as an individual sharing in <\/p>\n
49
\n00:02:29,280 –> 00:02:31,960
\nour stories and our life
\nexperiences to try to help each <\/p>\n
50
\n00:02:31,960 –> 00:02:33,480
\nother out.
\nThere was some really awesome <\/p>\n
51
\n00:02:33,480 –> 00:02:35,160
\ndiscussion rooms.
\nI’m really glad we had those. <\/p>\n
52
\n00:02:36,280 –> 00:02:38,280
\nAnd for this morning what we’re
\ngoing to do is we’re we’re going<\/p>\n
53
\n00:02:38,280 –> 00:02:41,200
\nto look at our Lord Jesus
\nbecause believe it or not, he <\/p>\n
54
\n00:02:41,200 –> 00:02:44,120
\nstruggled with anxiety too.
\nIt’s not just a David thing. <\/p>\n
55
\n00:02:44,400 –> 00:02:47,160
\nIt’s not just nothing.
\nIt’s even our Lord, Lord Jesus. <\/p>\n
56
\n00:02:47,160 –> 00:02:50,400
\nWe’re going to look primarily in
\ntwo different places. <\/p>\n
57
\n00:02:50,840 –> 00:02:53,320
\nWe’re going to start off in the
\nGarden of Gethsemane, and we’re <\/p>\n
58
\n00:02:53,320 –> 00:02:55,960
\ngoing to see how Jesus dealt
\nwith anxiety there, and the <\/p>\n
59
\n00:02:55,960 –> 00:02:58,800
\nexact same way that David dealt
\nwith it in the Psalms, and in <\/p>\n
60
\n00:02:58,800 –> 00:03:01,200
\nthe exact same way that we’re
\nthinking of how we need to deal <\/p>\n
61
\n00:03:01,200 –> 00:03:04,080
\nwith it now and he doesn’t get
\non the cross. <\/p>\n
62
\n00:03:04,960 –> 00:03:06,880
\nAnd the really beautiful thing
\nthat we’re going to see you in <\/p>\n
63
\n00:03:06,880 –> 00:03:09,440
\nthese two different stories,
\nthese two different events where<\/p>\n
64
\n00:03:09,440 –> 00:03:12,120
\nChrist deals with anxiety, is it
\ngets easier. <\/p>\n
65
\n00:03:12,880 –> 00:03:15,600
\nIt got easier for Jesus, and
\nwe’re going to see how it gets <\/p>\n
66
\n00:03:15,600 –> 00:03:19,920
\ncan get easier for us as well.
\nSo we’re going to go ahead and <\/p>\n
67
\n00:03:19,920 –> 00:03:22,800
\nget started in Matthew 26 and
\nwe’re going to bring ourselves <\/p>\n
68
\n00:03:22,800 –> 00:03:25,640
\nto the Garden of Gethsemane and
\nwe’re going to try to put <\/p>\n
69
\n00:03:25,640 –> 00:03:28,800
\nourselves in Jesus’s shoes,
\nthink what he’s feeling, what <\/p>\n
70
\n00:03:28,800 –> 00:03:31,680
\nhe’s going through, think what
\nwe might go through in a similar<\/p>\n
71
\n00:03:31,680 –> 00:03:35,960
\nscenario.
\nAgain, that’s Matthew 26, and <\/p>\n
72
\n00:03:36,080 –> 00:03:38,760
\nwe’re going to read verses 36 to
\n46. <\/p>\n
73
\n00:03:40,480 –> 00:03:43,040
\nAnd again, I want us to try to
\nreally get into Jesus’s shoes. <\/p>\n
74
\n00:03:43,040 –> 00:03:45,480
\nI want us to think about his
\nemotional state, but what he <\/p>\n
75
\n00:03:45,480 –> 00:03:50,560
\nmight be feeling in this moment.
\nMatthew 26, starting at verse <\/p>\n
76
\n00:03:50,560 –> 00:03:55,480
\n36.
\nAnd Jesus went with them to the <\/p>\n
77
\n00:03:55,480 –> 00:03:58,520
\nplace called Gethsemane.
\nAnd he said to his disciples, <\/p>\n
78
\n00:03:58,800 –> 00:04:02,440
\nsit here while I go over there
\nand pray and take him with him, <\/p>\n
79
\n00:04:02,440 –> 00:04:03,920
\nPeter and the two sons of
\nZebedee. <\/p>\n
80
\n00:04:04,280 –> 00:04:06,120
\nHe began to be sorrowful and
\ntroubled. <\/p>\n
81
\n00:04:06,760 –> 00:04:10,080
\nHe said to them, My soul is very
\nsorrowful even to death. <\/p>\n
82
\n00:04:10,600 –> 00:04:14,640
\nRemain here and watch with me.
\nAnd going a little farther, he <\/p>\n
83
\n00:04:14,640 –> 00:04:18,440
\nfell on his face and prayed,
\nsaying, My Father, if it be <\/p>\n
84
\n00:04:18,440 –> 00:04:24,920
\npossible, let this cut pass from
\nme nevertheless, not as I will, <\/p>\n
85
\n00:04:25,440 –> 00:04:28,920
\nbut as you will.
\nAnd he came to the disciples, <\/p>\n
86
\n00:04:29,160 –> 00:04:33,080
\nand found them sleeping.
\nHe said to Peter, So you could <\/p>\n
87
\n00:04:33,080 –> 00:04:36,520
\nnot watch with me.
\nOne hour watch and pray that you<\/p>\n
88
\n00:04:36,520 –> 00:04:39,800
\nmay not enter into temptation,
\nand spirit is indeed willing, <\/p>\n
89
\n00:04:39,880 –> 00:04:43,280
\nbut the flesh is weak.
\nAnd again for a second time he <\/p>\n
90
\n00:04:43,280 –> 00:04:47,160
\nwent, and he prayed.
\nMy Father, if this cannot pass <\/p>\n
91
\n00:04:47,360 –> 00:04:49,520
\nunless I drink it, your will be
\ndone. <\/p>\n
92
\n00:04:49,520 –> 00:04:53,520
\nAnd again he came, and he found
\nthem sleeping, for their eyes <\/p>\n
93
\n00:04:53,520 –> 00:04:56,080
\nwere very heavy.
\nAnd so leaving them again he <\/p>\n
94
\n00:04:56,080 –> 00:04:58,600
\nwent, And he prayed a third
\ntime, saying the words again. <\/p>\n
95
\n00:04:58,600 –> 00:05:02,720
\nAnd he came to disciples and
\nsaid to them, sleep, and take <\/p>\n
96
\n00:05:02,720 –> 00:05:05,280
\nyour rest later on, till the
\nhour is at hand. <\/p>\n
97
\n00:05:05,520 –> 00:05:07,760
\nThe Son of Man is betrayed into
\nthe hands of sinners. <\/p>\n
98
\n00:05:08,080 –> 00:05:11,920
\nRise, let’s be going.
\nSee my betrayer of that hand, <\/p>\n
99
\n00:05:14,360 –> 00:05:17,880
\nanxious.
\nIt was a very fitting word for <\/p>\n
100
\n00:05:17,960 –> 00:05:21,160
\nJesus.
\nThis feeling here says Jesus was<\/p>\n
101
\n00:05:21,440 –> 00:05:23,000
\nsorrowful, even to the point of
\ndeath. <\/p>\n
102
\n00:05:23,920 –> 00:05:27,680
\nIn the the Luke account, it says
\nthat he was dropping, dropping <\/p>\n
103
\n00:05:27,680 –> 00:05:31,400
\nbeads of sweat, or try dropping
\nbeads of blood, like sweat. <\/p>\n
104
\n00:05:31,880 –> 00:05:33,600
\nThat’s how anxious he was
\ngetting, was that he was <\/p>\n
105
\n00:05:33,600 –> 00:05:35,600
\nsweating.
\nThis was his physical reaction. <\/p>\n
106
\n00:05:35,600 –> 00:05:37,920
\nIf you remember in yesterday, I
\ntalked about how I had physical <\/p>\n
107
\n00:05:37,920 –> 00:05:40,960
\nreactions to anxiety.
\nI get cold, I get anxious, I get<\/p>\n
108
\n00:05:40,960 –> 00:05:43,280
\na pit in my stomach.
\nI get a bit nauseous. <\/p>\n
109
\n00:05:43,280 –> 00:05:44,840
\nI don’t want to eat.
\nI lose my appetite. <\/p>\n
110
\n00:05:45,600 –> 00:05:47,200
\nJesus is going to start sweating
\nblood. <\/p>\n
111
\n00:05:47,200 –> 00:05:51,920
\nEssentially, it’s the physical
\nreactions of anxiety are crazy <\/p>\n
112
\n00:05:51,920 –> 00:05:54,400
\nsometimes.
\nThey don’t always make sense, <\/p>\n
113
\n00:05:54,400 –> 00:05:57,360
\nand it’s not shocking that Jesus
\nis feeling this levels of <\/p>\n
114
\n00:05:57,360 –> 00:06:01,120
\nanxiety.
\nSee what Jesus The situation <\/p>\n
115
\n00:06:01,120 –> 00:06:04,760
\nJesus is in is that he doesn’t
\nwant to die. <\/p>\n
116
\n00:06:05,920 –> 00:06:07,720
\nThat makes sense.
\nThat’s not shocking. <\/p>\n
117
\n00:06:08,000 –> 00:06:11,240
\nThat’s not how could you, Jesus.
\nIt makes a lot of sense. <\/p>\n
118
\n00:06:11,240 –> 00:06:13,800
\nWe have a literal thing inside
\nof us telling us we want to <\/p>\n
119
\n00:06:13,800 –> 00:06:16,440
\nlive, we don’t want to die.
\nOur human nature is built, not <\/p>\n
120
\n00:06:16,440 –> 00:06:19,160
\neven just our human nature, but
\nlike our our our framework is <\/p>\n
121
\n00:06:19,160 –> 00:06:21,600
\nbuilt to say survival is
\nimportant. <\/p>\n
122
\n00:06:22,960 –> 00:06:26,160
\nBut The thing is, that’s the
\ninternalized belief that Jesus <\/p>\n
123
\n00:06:26,160 –> 00:06:30,440
\nhas to challenge here, because
\nin this moment, his death is a <\/p>\n
124
\n00:06:30,440 –> 00:06:32,680
\ngood thing.
\nDoesn’t feel that way. <\/p>\n
125
\n00:06:32,680 –> 00:06:34,520
\nIt’s hard to make that feel that
\nway. <\/p>\n
126
\n00:06:35,320 –> 00:06:37,320
\nBut that’s the internalized
\nbelief that Jesus has to <\/p>\n
127
\n00:06:37,320 –> 00:06:39,960
\nchallenge.
\nIt is, from God’s point of view,<\/p>\n
128
\n00:06:40,440 –> 00:06:44,640
\nthe good thing, the great thing
\nfor Jesus to be sacrificed. <\/p>\n
129
\n00:06:45,720 –> 00:06:49,600
\nAnd we see a battle of wills or
\na battle of value systems. <\/p>\n
130
\n00:06:50,000 –> 00:06:52,880
\nUnderstandably so.
\nJesus living is pretty high on <\/p>\n
131
\n00:06:52,880 –> 00:06:56,720
\nhis value system, just like me
\nsurviving me living is going to <\/p>\n
132
\n00:06:56,720 –> 00:06:59,080
\nbe pretty high on mine.
\nThat makes sense. <\/p>\n
133
\n00:06:59,960 –> 00:07:03,360
\nBut in this moment, from God’s
\nvalue system, from God’s <\/p>\n
134
\n00:07:03,360 –> 00:07:06,160
\npriorities, Jesus dying was the
\nhigher priority. <\/p>\n
135
\n00:07:06,600 –> 00:07:09,160
\nNot because God wanted Jesus to
\ndie, but because he wanted the <\/p>\n
136
\n00:07:09,160 –> 00:07:12,760
\neternal plan to happen.
\nAnd that eternal plan mattered <\/p>\n
137
\n00:07:12,760 –> 00:07:16,080
\nmore than even Jesus’s temporary
\nsufferings. <\/p>\n
138
\n00:07:17,760 –> 00:07:21,080
\nAnd I know saying this might
\nsound wrong in a lot of ways, <\/p>\n
139
\n00:07:21,080 –> 00:07:23,200
\nand saying Jesus didn’t want
\nwhat God wanted. <\/p>\n
140
\n00:07:24,160 –> 00:07:28,000
\nThat’s exactly what Jesus says
\nwhen he says God let this cup <\/p>\n
141
\n00:07:28,000 –> 00:07:32,160
\npass for me.
\nNevertheless, not my will but <\/p>\n
142
\n00:07:32,160 –> 00:07:34,760
\nyours be done.
\nTheir wills in that moment <\/p>\n
143
\n00:07:34,760 –> 00:07:37,680
\nweren’t the same.
\nWhat Jesus wanted in that moment<\/p>\n
144
\n00:07:37,680 –> 00:07:40,800
\nwas it Internalized beliefs in
\nthat moment was not the same as <\/p>\n
145
\n00:07:40,800 –> 00:07:43,200
\ngods.
\nHe did not internally feel the <\/p>\n
146
\n00:07:43,200 –> 00:07:46,760
\nsame way God felt about the
\nsituation and that causes him <\/p>\n
147
\n00:07:46,920 –> 00:07:49,480
\nextreme anxiety.
\nThis wasn’t normal for Jesus. <\/p>\n
148
\n00:07:49,480 –> 00:07:52,680
\nJesus throughout his life was
\npretty in tune with his father. <\/p>\n
149
\n00:07:52,840 –> 00:07:55,160
\nSo much like he could say me and
\nmy father are one. <\/p>\n
150
\n00:07:55,160 –> 00:07:59,680
\nWe are of the same mind.
\nBut in this moment he wasn’t <\/p>\n
151
\n00:07:59,920 –> 00:08:03,480
\nquite one yet.
\nHe had to shift to become one in<\/p>\n
152
\n00:08:03,480 –> 00:08:06,440
\nhis natural state.
\nHe didn’t feel the same things <\/p>\n
153
\n00:08:06,440 –> 00:08:09,520
\nGod felt.
\nThis was the battle that Christ <\/p>\n
154
\n00:08:09,520 –> 00:08:11,320
\nwas dealing with in a state of
\nanxiety. <\/p>\n
155
\n00:08:12,400 –> 00:08:15,720
\nAnd this is where anxiety is
\ncomplex, because it’s not even <\/p>\n
156
\n00:08:15,720 –> 00:08:20,760
\nlike Jesus’s will was evil or
\nmorally like horrible or <\/p>\n
157
\n00:08:20,760 –> 00:08:23,120
\nanything like that.
\nJesus wanted to live, and the <\/p>\n
158
\n00:08:23,120 –> 00:08:26,520
\ntemptations Jesus has had were
\nto, like, set up a Kingdom now <\/p>\n
159
\n00:08:26,520 –> 00:08:28,600
\nso we could help people.
\nNow it wasn’t. <\/p>\n
160
\n00:08:28,600 –> 00:08:30,360
\nHe wanted to be some big bad
\nguy. <\/p>\n
161
\n00:08:30,360 –> 00:08:33,120
\nThat’s what that’s what was
\ncausing him to to want to live <\/p>\n
162
\n00:08:33,120 –> 00:08:34,559
\nright now.
\nHe wanted to live to help <\/p>\n
163
\n00:08:34,559 –> 00:08:38,080
\npeople, but that’s not what God
\nwanted for him. <\/p>\n
164
\n00:08:38,880 –> 00:08:41,960
\nAnd This is why anxiety is
\ncomplex opposed to anger and <\/p>\n
165
\n00:08:41,960 –> 00:08:44,880
\nlust.
\nTypically speaking, anger is <\/p>\n
166
\n00:08:44,880 –> 00:08:48,120
\nsaying this bad thing.
\nIt’s actually good. <\/p>\n
167
\n00:08:48,520 –> 00:08:51,680
\nAnd lust is saying this bad
\nthing is actually good. <\/p>\n
168
\n00:08:51,920 –> 00:08:54,600
\nAnd that’s the lie that these
\ntypical temptations sell to you.<\/p>\n
169
\n00:08:55,640 –> 00:08:57,200
\nAnxiety doesn’t really sell
\nthat. <\/p>\n
170
\n00:08:57,600 –> 00:09:00,520
\nSometimes it does.
\nBut really what it’s selling is <\/p>\n
171
\n00:09:00,920 –> 00:09:05,560
\nthis good thing is now the most
\nimportant thing, and it’s really<\/p>\n
172
\n00:09:05,560 –> 00:09:07,400
\ncomplex to spark to parse that
\nout. <\/p>\n
173
\n00:09:08,120 –> 00:09:10,520
\nIt was a good thing.
\nIt is a good thing for Jesus to <\/p>\n
174
\n00:09:10,520 –> 00:09:13,320
\nhelp people.
\nSetting up the Kingdom then was <\/p>\n
175
\n00:09:13,960 –> 00:09:16,320
\na objectively good thing for
\npeople would have helped people,<\/p>\n
176
\n00:09:16,960 –> 00:09:18,600
\nbut it wasn’t the thing that God
\nwanted. <\/p>\n
177
\n00:09:18,600 –> 00:09:22,000
\nIt wasn’t the best thing.
\nIt wasn’t the most important <\/p>\n
178
\n00:09:22,000 –> 00:09:24,840
\nthing.
\nAnd that’s the complexity around<\/p>\n
179
\n00:09:24,840 –> 00:09:27,320
\nanxiety, and that’s the struggle
\nthat Jesus was having. <\/p>\n
180
\n00:09:27,760 –> 00:09:30,960
\nHis way of dealing with things
\nwas set up the Kingdom now, and <\/p>\n
181
\n00:09:30,960 –> 00:09:33,920
\nGod’s way of dealing with things
\nwas no, we need to set up the <\/p>\n
182
\n00:09:33,920 –> 00:09:37,240
\nKingdom in the future.
\nYou have to die now that this <\/p>\n
183
\n00:09:37,240 –> 00:09:38,880
\nwas the battle that Christ was
\ngoing through. <\/p>\n
184
\n00:09:39,920 –> 00:09:43,400
\nAnd we see those four steps that
\nwe talked about yesterday played<\/p>\n
185
\n00:09:43,400 –> 00:09:48,040
\nout in the small conversation.
\nStep one, he expresses his <\/p>\n
186
\n00:09:48,040 –> 00:09:51,320
\ncurrent position to his father.
\nFather, I’d like this cup <\/p>\n
187
\n00:09:51,320 –> 00:09:55,160
\nremoved.
\nLet it pass from me, He asks and<\/p>\n
188
\n00:09:55,160 –> 00:09:58,720
\nsays this is where I am.
\nAnd he knows that’s not where <\/p>\n
189
\n00:09:58,720 –> 00:10:01,520
\nGod is.
\nHe understands this isn’t the <\/p>\n
190
\n00:10:01,520 –> 00:10:04,200
\nright answer.
\nThis isn’t what God wants, but <\/p>\n
191
\n00:10:04,200 –> 00:10:06,600
\nthis is what I want right now.
\nI’m going to talk to my father <\/p>\n
192
\n00:10:06,600 –> 00:10:09,960
\nabout that.
\nStep two and three. <\/p>\n
193
\n00:10:10,280 –> 00:10:12,280
\nWhen he approaches God, he calls
\nhim Father. <\/p>\n
194
\n00:10:12,680 –> 00:10:14,600
\nThe relationship is set up from
\nthe beginning of the <\/p>\n
195
\n00:10:14,600 –> 00:10:17,640
\nconversation.
\nOn top of this, Jesus <\/p>\n
196
\n00:10:17,640 –> 00:10:21,320
\nunderstands God’s will.
\nThat’s why he can say not my <\/p>\n
197
\n00:10:21,320 –> 00:10:24,520
\nwill but thine be done.
\nHe understands how God feels <\/p>\n
198
\n00:10:24,520 –> 00:10:26,640
\nabout the situation in the
\nconversation. <\/p>\n
199
\n00:10:26,640 –> 00:10:30,240
\nHe knows what God is going to
\nsay before he asks the question.<\/p>\n
200
\n00:10:30,680 –> 00:10:32,480
\nHe knows the cop is not going to
\nbe passed. <\/p>\n
201
\n00:10:32,760 –> 00:10:37,200
\nThat’s not the point of the ask.
\nThe point of the ask of God, let<\/p>\n
202
\n00:10:37,200 –> 00:10:40,040
\nthis or Father, let this cut
\npass from me, is not because <\/p>\n
203
\n00:10:40,040 –> 00:10:42,760
\nhe’s hoping for a yes.
\nIt’s an expression of where I’m <\/p>\n
204
\n00:10:42,760 –> 00:10:44,880
\nat.
\nIt’s an expression of this is <\/p>\n
205
\n00:10:44,880 –> 00:10:48,160
\nwhat I’m feeling right now.
\nBecause he knows God’s will. <\/p>\n
206
\n00:10:48,200 –> 00:10:51,200
\nThat’s why he can say not my
\nwill, but thine be done. <\/p>\n
207
\n00:10:52,600 –> 00:10:56,240
\nAnd Step 4, the hard step, He
\ngoes with his father’s will, <\/p>\n
208
\n00:10:57,040 –> 00:10:58,760
\neven though he doesn’t feel like
\nit in the moment. <\/p>\n
209
\n00:11:00,000 –> 00:11:03,640
\nIn a short conversation, you
\ndon’t go from I’m not OK with <\/p>\n
210
\n00:11:03,640 –> 00:11:06,240
\ndying to Yep, I’m on.
\nI’m on board with it. <\/p>\n
211
\n00:11:06,280 –> 00:11:10,480
\nLet’s go.
\nHe didn’t shift his feelings in <\/p>\n
212
\n00:11:10,480 –> 00:11:12,240
\nan instant.
\nThat’s not possible. <\/p>\n
213
\n00:11:12,680 –> 00:11:15,400
\nWhat he did was he committed to
\ndoing that, what he knew was <\/p>\n
214
\n00:11:15,400 –> 00:11:18,120
\ntrue, even though his feelings
\nweren’t quite there yet. <\/p>\n
215
\n00:11:19,760 –> 00:11:22,360
\nJesus didn’t want to die, but he
\nunderstood that he had to. <\/p>\n
216
\n00:11:22,360 –> 00:11:25,080
\nHe understood it was his
\nfather’s will and he committed <\/p>\n
217
\n00:11:25,080 –> 00:11:27,480
\nto his father’s will, even
\nthough his emotions weren’t <\/p>\n
218
\n00:11:27,480 –> 00:11:29,840
\nquite there yet.
\nThat’s the step four. <\/p>\n
219
\n00:11:29,840 –> 00:11:32,160
\nThat’s the the picking up of the
\ncredit card and swiping it a <\/p>\n
220
\n00:11:32,160 –> 00:11:33,920
\ndifferent direction.
\nThat’s the changing, the <\/p>\n
221
\n00:11:33,920 –> 00:11:35,600
\nelectric current that we were
\ntalking about. <\/p>\n
222
\n00:11:36,160 –> 00:11:39,520
\nIt’s choosing to act with what
\nwe know is true, even if we <\/p>\n
223
\n00:11:39,520 –> 00:11:43,320
\ndon’t feel like it yet.
\nAnd moving forward, you can see <\/p>\n
224
\n00:11:43,320 –> 00:11:47,080
\na shift in how Christ acts.
\nListen to how calm and collected<\/p>\n
225
\n00:11:47,080 –> 00:11:50,200
\nand focused Christ is as he
\napproaches his disciples. <\/p>\n
226
\n00:11:50,200 –> 00:11:55,320
\nAt the end, in verses 45 and 46
\nof Matthew 26, he comes to them <\/p>\n
227
\n00:11:55,320 –> 00:11:57,640
\nand says sleep and take your
\nrest. <\/p>\n
228
\n00:11:57,640 –> 00:12:00,440
\nLater on, see, our hour is at
\nhand and the Son of Man is <\/p>\n
229
\n00:12:00,440 –> 00:12:01,840
\nbetrayed into the hands of
\nsinners. <\/p>\n
230
\n00:12:02,080 –> 00:12:05,280
\nRise and let us get going.
\nSee, my betrayer is at hand. <\/p>\n
231
\n00:12:05,760 –> 00:12:07,920
\nHe’s looking forward.
\nHe understands this is the <\/p>\n
232
\n00:12:07,960 –> 00:12:10,320
\ndirection I need to go.
\nLet’s get going to it. <\/p>\n
233
\n00:12:10,640 –> 00:12:13,360
\nLet’s get through this.
\nHe’s going towards the thing <\/p>\n
234
\n00:12:13,360 –> 00:12:14,800
\nthat he knows he doesn’t want to
\ndo. <\/p>\n
235
\n00:12:16,080 –> 00:12:19,160
\nCompare it to how he approached
\nhis disciples earlier and verses<\/p>\n
236
\n00:12:19,160 –> 00:12:22,640
\n40 and 41.
\nHe comes to them sleeping and he<\/p>\n
237
\n00:12:22,640 –> 00:12:25,280
\nsays so.
\nCould you not watch with me one <\/p>\n
238
\n00:12:25,280 –> 00:12:29,200
\nhour watch and pray that you may
\nnot entered impatient for the <\/p>\n
239
\n00:12:29,200 –> 00:12:31,640
\nSpirit is indeed willing, but
\nthe flesh is weak. <\/p>\n
240
\n00:12:32,480 –> 00:12:34,160
\nAnd these moments Jesus is
\nagitated. <\/p>\n
241
\n00:12:34,320 –> 00:12:37,040
\nHe’s frustrated and it makes
\nsense because his friends that <\/p>\n
242
\n00:12:37,040 –> 00:12:40,120
\nhe cares deeply about, they’re
\nsleeping in one of his greatest <\/p>\n
243
\n00:12:40,120 –> 00:12:42,960
\ntrials.
\nBut the difference is important.<\/p>\n
244
\n00:12:42,960 –> 00:12:44,920
\nOne point he’s anxious and
\nagitated. <\/p>\n
245
\n00:12:45,160 –> 00:12:48,680
\nThe next point he’s saying I’m
\ngoing forward with the thing I <\/p>\n
246
\n00:12:48,680 –> 00:12:50,800
\ndon’t want to do, but it’s the
\ndirection I’m going. <\/p>\n
247
\n00:12:50,800 –> 00:12:53,280
\nHe’s committed and he’s ready to
\nwalk to that cross. <\/p>\n
248
\n00:12:57,800 –> 00:13:01,040
\nThis isn’t the 1st or the last
\ntime though, that Jesus deals <\/p>\n
249
\n00:13:01,280 –> 00:13:04,120
\nwith anxiety.
\nIt happens again on the cross. <\/p>\n
250
\n00:13:04,120 –> 00:13:09,400
\nAnd that happens in Matthew 27
\nat just the next chapter, verses<\/p>\n
251
\n00:13:09,400 –> 00:13:16,320
\n25, sorry, verses 4550.
\nAnd we’re going to see Jesus <\/p>\n
252
\n00:13:16,320 –> 00:13:20,320
\ngoes through the same process
\nwhere he starts off not feeling <\/p>\n
253
\n00:13:20,320 –> 00:13:23,920
\nwhat he knows to be true and he
\nhas to work his way to a point <\/p>\n
254
\n00:13:23,920 –> 00:13:26,400
\nwhere he acts based on what he
\nknows to be true. <\/p>\n
255
\n00:13:27,680 –> 00:13:30,960
\nStarting in verse 45, reading
\nthrough verse 50 of Matthew 27 <\/p>\n
256
\n00:13:33,200 –> 00:13:36,360
\nand now from the 6th hour there
\nwas darkness all over the land <\/p>\n
257
\n00:13:36,360 –> 00:13:39,680
\ninto the ninth hour and about
\nthe 9th hour Jesus cried out <\/p>\n
258
\n00:13:39,680 –> 00:13:44,720
\nwith a loud voice saying Eli
\nEli, lama Sabaktani, that is my <\/p>\n
259
\n00:13:44,720 –> 00:13:46,720
\nGod, my God, why have you
\nforsaken me? <\/p>\n
260
\n00:13:47,880 –> 00:13:50,320
\nAnd some of the bystanders
\nhearing it, said, this man is <\/p>\n
261
\n00:13:50,320 –> 00:13:53,200
\ncalling for Elijah.
\nAnd one of them, one of them at <\/p>\n
262
\n00:13:53,200 –> 00:13:56,320
\nonce ran into the sponge and
\nfilled it with sour wand and put<\/p>\n
263
\n00:13:56,320 –> 00:13:58,240
\nit on a Reed and gave it to him
\nto drink. <\/p>\n
264
\n00:13:58,680 –> 00:14:01,440
\nThe other said, wait, let us see
\nwhether Elijah will come and <\/p>\n
265
\n00:14:01,440 –> 00:14:03,680
\nsave him.
\nAnd Jesus cried out again with a<\/p>\n
266
\n00:14:03,680 –> 00:14:06,000
\nloud voice and yielded up his
\nspirit. <\/p>\n
267
\n00:14:08,400 –> 00:14:13,400
\nJesus says on the cross, My God,
\nmy God, why hast thou forsaken <\/p>\n
268
\n00:14:13,400 –> 00:14:14,920
\nme?
\nAnd I’ve heard a lot of <\/p>\n
269
\n00:14:14,920 –> 00:14:19,360
\ndifferent views or reasons why
\nJesus might be saying this, but <\/p>\n
270
\n00:14:19,360 –> 00:14:21,680
\nI think the most plain and
\nsimple understanding is that <\/p>\n
271
\n00:14:22,320 –> 00:14:25,320
\nJesus is expressing how he’s
\nfeeling in that moment. <\/p>\n
272
\n00:14:26,360 –> 00:14:30,200
\nSee, yes, Jesus is quoting Psalm
\n22. <\/p>\n
273
\n00:14:30,200 –> 00:14:34,040
\nAnd yes, an aspect of this is to
\nteach the Jews this is the way <\/p>\n
274
\n00:14:34,040 –> 00:14:36,080
\nyou should be thinking.
\nThis is the situation that’s <\/p>\n
275
\n00:14:36,080 –> 00:14:38,120
\ngoing on.
\nCome read Psalm 22 and <\/p>\n
276
\n00:14:38,120 –> 00:14:39,680
\nunderstand this is what you’re
\ndoing right now. <\/p>\n
277
\n00:14:40,640 –> 00:14:44,480
\nBut nobody quotes the Old
\nTestament without feeling the <\/p>\n
278
\n00:14:44,480 –> 00:14:47,360
\nthing they’re quoting, without
\nactually meaning the thing <\/p>\n
279
\n00:14:47,360 –> 00:14:49,360
\nthey’re quoting.
\nThey don’t quote it just for the<\/p>\n
280
\n00:14:49,360 –> 00:14:51,960
\nsake of quoting it.
\nThey quote it because they mean <\/p>\n
281
\n00:14:51,960 –> 00:14:54,160
\nthe context going on around the
\nquotation. <\/p>\n
282
\n00:14:54,920 –> 00:14:56,760
\nThis is something that in
\ngeneral, when someone in the New<\/p>\n
283
\n00:14:56,760 –> 00:14:58,960
\nTestament quotes the Old
\nTestament, they’re not just <\/p>\n
284
\n00:14:58,960 –> 00:15:01,760
\nquoting the one liner, They’re
\nquoting the whole section. <\/p>\n
285
\n00:15:02,440 –> 00:15:04,440
\nThey’re quoting the whole
\npassage around at the Old <\/p>\n
286
\n00:15:04,440 –> 00:15:07,240
\nTestament verse that they’re
\nquoting, and the whole context <\/p>\n
287
\n00:15:07,240 –> 00:15:10,080
\nneeds to be brought into what’s
\ngoing on in the New Testament. <\/p>\n
288
\n00:15:10,680 –> 00:15:13,840
\nThat’s why we read Psalm 22,
\nbecause Jesus isn’t quoting <\/p>\n
289
\n00:15:13,840 –> 00:15:16,760
\nverse one of Psalm 22, he’s
\nquoting Psalm 22. <\/p>\n
290
\n00:15:17,280 –> 00:15:20,400
\nHe’s quoting the whole thing,
\njust he only has the one line <\/p>\n
291
\n00:15:20,400 –> 00:15:23,440
\nand what he actually sets.
\nAnd So what I want to do is I <\/p>\n
292
\n00:15:23,440 –> 00:15:27,000
\nwant to read through Psalm 22,
\nget in Christ’s head on the <\/p>\n
293
\n00:15:27,000 –> 00:15:30,880
\ncross, and we’re going to see
\nthe same process happen in this <\/p>\n
294
\n00:15:30,880 –> 00:15:33,560
\nchapter, the same four step
\nprocess. <\/p>\n
295
\n00:15:35,240 –> 00:15:37,680
\nAnd in this one I’m going to
\nread through verse by verse and <\/p>\n
296
\n00:15:37,680 –> 00:15:39,600
\nI will talk about the different
\nsteps as we approach them. <\/p>\n
297
\n00:15:40,120 –> 00:15:42,520
\nAgain, just like last time, it’s
\ngoing to be a bit all over and <\/p>\n
298
\n00:15:42,520 –> 00:15:44,400
\nwe’ll hop around between the
\ndifferent steps as we go. <\/p>\n
299
\n00:15:44,960 –> 00:15:48,400
\nBut I think the emotional flow
\nof this song is really <\/p>\n
300
\n00:15:48,400 –> 00:15:53,760
\nbeautiful.
\nSo Psalm 22 starting in verse 10<\/p>\n
301
\n00:15:53,800 –> 00:15:57,280
\nand real quick the key thing
\nlisten for the words like yet or<\/p>\n
302
\n00:15:57,280 –> 00:16:01,360
\nbut or however those are
\nkeywords where you can go. <\/p>\n
303
\n00:16:01,640 –> 00:16:03,840
\nGotcha.
\nHe’s he’s going from step one to<\/p>\n
304
\n00:16:03,840 –> 00:16:05,680
\nStep 2.
\nHe’s going from Step 2 to Step <\/p>\n
305
\n00:16:05,680 –> 00:16:08,200
\n4.
\nThose keywords of yet and but <\/p>\n
306
\n00:16:08,200 –> 00:16:12,520
\nhowever those kinds of words all
\nright starting in verse one. <\/p>\n
307
\n00:16:14,120 –> 00:16:17,240
\nMy God, my God, why have you
\nforsaken me? <\/p>\n
308
\n00:16:17,800 –> 00:16:20,680
\nWhy are you so far from saving
\nme from the words of my <\/p>\n
309
\n00:16:20,680 –> 00:16:24,240
\ngroaning?
\nOh my God, I cry day by day, but<\/p>\n
310
\n00:16:24,240 –> 00:16:27,480
\nyou do not answer by nights.
\nBut I find no rest. <\/p>\n
311
\n00:16:28,200 –> 00:16:31,560
\nThis is step one.
\nThis is him saying this is where<\/p>\n
312
\n00:16:31,560 –> 00:16:33,720
\nI’m at.
\nGod, this is what I’m feeling. <\/p>\n
313
\n00:16:34,240 –> 00:16:36,040
\nThis is what’s going on in my
\nhead right now. <\/p>\n
314
\n00:16:36,600 –> 00:16:38,720
\nIt’s not logical.
\nIt’s not what he knows to be <\/p>\n
315
\n00:16:38,720 –> 00:16:40,840
\ntrue.
\nIt’s not what he actually <\/p>\n
316
\n00:16:40,840 –> 00:16:42,280
\nthinks.
\nIf he were to sit down and write<\/p>\n
317
\n00:16:42,280 –> 00:16:43,440
\nout what he thinks about the
\ntruth. <\/p>\n
318
\n00:16:43,800 –> 00:16:45,080
\nIt’s what he’s feeling in that
\nmoment. <\/p>\n
319
\n00:16:45,080 –> 00:16:48,640
\nIt’s where he’s currently at.
\nOn that cross he feels forsaken.<\/p>\n
320
\n00:16:49,560 –> 00:16:52,240
\nBut then verse three, we enter
\ninto Step 2 and Step 3. <\/p>\n
321
\n00:16:53,000 –> 00:16:57,480
\nYet you are holy, enthroned of
\nthe praises on the praises of <\/p>\n
322
\n00:16:57,480 –> 00:17:00,320
\nIsrael and and in you.
\nOur fathers trusted, they <\/p>\n
323
\n00:17:00,320 –> 00:17:03,600
\ntrusted and you delivered them.
\nAnd to you they cried out and <\/p>\n
324
\n00:17:03,600 –> 00:17:06,880
\nthey were rescued and in you
\nthey trusted and were not put to<\/p>\n
325
\n00:17:06,880 –> 00:17:09,760
\nshame.
\nHe’s thinking, well, who is God?<\/p>\n
326
\n00:17:09,760 –> 00:17:13,880
\nAnd God is one that is holy.
\nHe’s one that is on the praises <\/p>\n
327
\n00:17:13,880 –> 00:17:16,520
\nof Israel.
\nThis is who my father is, and on<\/p>\n
328
\n00:17:16,520 –> 00:17:19,040
\ntop of that, my father has been
\nthere for other people. <\/p>\n
329
\n00:17:19,319 –> 00:17:23,079
\nBut this is a God that has saved
\nand provided for many others in <\/p>\n
330
\n00:17:23,079 –> 00:17:25,359
\nthe past.
\nSo of course you’ll provide for <\/p>\n
331
\n00:17:25,359 –> 00:17:27,240
\nme here.
\nHe will save me here as well. <\/p>\n
332
\n00:17:28,600 –> 00:17:30,800
\nHowever, we got a lot of
\nemotions to go through. <\/p>\n
333
\n00:17:30,800 –> 00:17:33,760
\nStill, we’re 6th.
\nBut I’m a worm. <\/p>\n
334
\n00:17:34,320 –> 00:17:36,840
\nI’m not a man.
\nI’m scorned by mankind. <\/p>\n
335
\n00:17:36,840 –> 00:17:40,080
\nThey’re despised by the people.
\nAll who seek me mock me. <\/p>\n
336
\n00:17:40,520 –> 00:17:44,240
\nThey make mouths at me and they
\nwag their heads saying he trusts<\/p>\n
337
\n00:17:44,240 –> 00:17:47,680
\nin Yahweh, let him deliver him,
\nlet him rescue him, for he <\/p>\n
338
\n00:17:47,680 –> 00:17:50,800
\ndelights in him.
\nAnd again, this is going back to<\/p>\n
339
\n00:17:50,800 –> 00:17:53,520
\nstep one.
\nThis is the emotions that Jesus <\/p>\n
340
\n00:17:53,520 –> 00:17:56,120
\nis feeling on that cross.
\nHe doesn’t feel like a man. <\/p>\n
341
\n00:17:56,120 –> 00:17:58,680
\nHe feels like a worm.
\nAnd it’s he’s embarrassed, he’s <\/p>\n
342
\n00:17:58,680 –> 00:18:00,760
\nshamed, he’s he’s naked on the
\ncross. <\/p>\n
343
\n00:18:01,080 –> 00:18:03,920
\nOf course he feels that way.
\nHe’s not being treated like a <\/p>\n
344
\n00:18:03,920 –> 00:18:05,920
\nperson.
\nHe’s being treated like dirt in <\/p>\n
345
\n00:18:05,920 –> 00:18:09,360
\nthat moment.
\nThat’s what he’s feeling. <\/p>\n
346
\n00:18:09,360 –> 00:18:12,800
\nHe feels like a worm, not a man.
\nWe know this isn’t a logical <\/p>\n
347
\n00:18:12,800 –> 00:18:14,560
\nstatement.
\nThis isn’t what Jesus believes. <\/p>\n
348
\n00:18:14,760 –> 00:18:16,240
\nHe doesn’t think he’s literally
\na worm. <\/p>\n
349
\n00:18:16,920 –> 00:18:20,720
\nIt’s an emotional statement.
\nAnd again, verse 9. <\/p>\n
350
\n00:18:20,720 –> 00:18:24,040
\nYet you are he who took me from
\nthe womb. <\/p>\n
351
\n00:18:24,280 –> 00:18:26,280
\nYou made me trust at my mother’s
\nbreasts. <\/p>\n
352
\n00:18:26,520 –> 00:18:28,120
\nOn you.
\nI was cast from my birth and <\/p>\n
353
\n00:18:28,120 –> 00:18:30,560
\nfrom my mother’s womb.
\nYou have been my God. <\/p>\n
354
\n00:18:31,560 –> 00:18:34,320
\nMy relationship with my God in
\nthe last 30 years has been like <\/p>\n
355
\n00:18:34,320 –> 00:18:37,120
\nthis, where I’ve been able to
\ntrust with him and trust on him.<\/p>\n
356
\n00:18:37,760 –> 00:18:41,360
\nHe’s been with me my whole life.
\nHe won’t abandoned me now. <\/p>\n
357
\n00:18:41,360 –> 00:18:45,040
\nHe won’t abandoned me.
\nHere on this cross, you see this<\/p>\n
358
\n00:18:45,040 –> 00:18:48,160
\nbattle happening in his head.
\nHe’s dealing with his emotions. <\/p>\n
359
\n00:18:48,160 –> 00:18:52,160
\nStep one, that anxiety, he’s
\nexpressing it to his father, but<\/p>\n
360
\n00:18:52,160 –> 00:18:55,040
\nthen he’s correcting himself.
\nHe’s saying, I know that’s not <\/p>\n
361
\n00:18:55,040 –> 00:18:56,920
\ntrue.
\nThis is what I know to be true <\/p>\n
362
\n00:18:56,920 –> 00:18:58,840
\nabout God.
\nThis is what I know from the <\/p>\n
363
\n00:18:58,840 –> 00:19:00,000
\nBible.
\nThis is what I know from my <\/p>\n
364
\n00:19:00,000 –> 00:19:02,080
\nhistory.
\nI can look at the Bible and say <\/p>\n
365
\n00:19:02,080 –> 00:19:04,320
\nthis is what God has done with
\nthe Father is I can look at my <\/p>\n
366
\n00:19:04,320 –> 00:19:06,040
\nlife and say this is what God
\nhas done for me. <\/p>\n
367
\n00:19:06,920 –> 00:19:09,520
\nHe’s using these emotions or
\nthese these thoughts to <\/p>\n
368
\n00:19:09,520 –> 00:19:13,280
\ncounteract his emotions.
\nHe doesn’t just not express <\/p>\n
369
\n00:19:13,280 –> 00:19:14,480
\nthem.
\nIt’s important to express our <\/p>\n
370
\n00:19:14,480 –> 00:19:17,360
\nemotions.
\nBut he then goes, what is true? <\/p>\n
371
\n00:19:17,360 –> 00:19:19,840
\nWhat do I know to be true?
\nEven though I don’t feel it <\/p>\n
372
\n00:19:19,840 –> 00:19:25,000
\nright now And this continues on.
\nWe’re not going to keep reading <\/p>\n
373
\n00:19:25,000 –> 00:19:27,280
\nthrough the next 10 or so
\nverses, but there’s a lot more <\/p>\n
374
\n00:19:27,280 –> 00:19:30,760
\nof this emotional language of be
\nnot far from me but for trouble <\/p>\n
375
\n00:19:30,760 –> 00:19:32,880
\nis near.
\nThere are many bulls around me, <\/p>\n
376
\n00:19:32,880 –> 00:19:36,040
\nall this kind of language that
\nisn’t logically true. <\/p>\n
377
\n00:19:36,640 –> 00:19:39,440
\nIt’s emotionally true.
\nIt’s what Jesus is feeling on <\/p>\n
378
\n00:19:39,440 –> 00:19:42,600
\nthe cross and he’s expressing
\nhis feelings and continues until<\/p>\n
379
\n00:19:42,600 –> 00:19:46,280
\nverse 22 where he says step
\nfour. <\/p>\n
380
\n00:19:46,960 –> 00:19:50,400
\nI will tell of your name to my
\nbrothers in the midst of the <\/p>\n
381
\n00:19:50,400 –> 00:19:53,840
\ncongregation.
\nI will praise you, You who fear <\/p>\n
382
\n00:19:53,840 –> 00:19:56,640
\nYahweh, praise him.
\nAll you offspring of Jacob <\/p>\n
383
\n00:19:56,840 –> 00:20:00,080
\nglorify him, stand in awe of
\nhim, all you offspring of <\/p>\n
384
\n00:20:00,080 –> 00:20:02,920
\nIsrael.
\nWhen do you think Jesus is <\/p>\n
385
\n00:20:02,920 –> 00:20:05,840
\nimagining that happening?
\nIt’s not. <\/p>\n
386
\n00:20:06,360 –> 00:20:09,880
\nOn Earth in that lifetime, he’s
\nnot thinking about how he’s <\/p>\n
387
\n00:20:09,880 –> 00:20:13,280
\ngoing to stand amongst the
\noffspring of Jacob right then <\/p>\n
388
\n00:20:13,280 –> 00:20:16,360
\nand there and say these things.
\nHe’s thinking of the Kingdom. <\/p>\n
389
\n00:20:17,400 –> 00:20:20,760
\nHe’s thinking of how he’s going
\nto proclaim Yahweh’s name to his<\/p>\n
390
\n00:20:20,760 –> 00:20:23,320
\nbrethren, that his brethren are
\nnot around him in that moment. <\/p>\n
391
\n00:20:23,840 –> 00:20:26,600
\nHis brethren are not the people
\nthat are sitting around him. <\/p>\n
392
\n00:20:26,600 –> 00:20:27,600
\nThere’s people putting him to
\ndeath. <\/p>\n
393
\n00:20:27,600 –> 00:20:31,000
\nThose are not his brothers.
\nThe time that he’ll be on his <\/p>\n
394
\n00:20:31,000 –> 00:20:35,880
\nbrethren is the Kingdom.
\nThat’s when he will say, I will <\/p>\n
395
\n00:20:36,360 –> 00:20:39,480
\ncall out your name or I’ll tell
\nthem of your name in the midst <\/p>\n
396
\n00:20:39,480 –> 00:20:42,120
\nof the congregation.
\nI will praise you, you here for <\/p>\n
397
\n00:20:42,120 –> 00:20:43,480
\nYahweh.
\nPraise him. <\/p>\n
398
\n00:20:44,280 –> 00:20:47,280
\nThose people in that moment did
\nnot feel fear Yahweh, for they <\/p>\n
399
\n00:20:47,280 –> 00:20:50,040
\nwere killing his son.
\nBut he looked forward to the day<\/p>\n
400
\n00:20:50,040 –> 00:20:51,560
\nwhere he would be surrounded by
\nthose who do. <\/p>\n
401
\n00:20:53,520 –> 00:20:56,880
\nAnd then verses 24 to 31, he
\ngoes back to thinking about who <\/p>\n
402
\n00:20:56,880 –> 00:20:58,200
\nGod is.
\nWe’re not going to read the <\/p>\n
403
\n00:20:58,200 –> 00:20:59,440
\nwhole thing.
\nWe read it in the reading. <\/p>\n
404
\n00:20:59,640 –> 00:21:02,840
\nBut he goes back to thinking who
\nGod is, what is, who is my God? <\/p>\n
405
\n00:21:02,840 –> 00:21:05,800
\nWhat is my relationship with him
\nand how does that impact my <\/p>\n
406
\n00:21:05,800 –> 00:21:08,440
\ncurrent scenario?
\nAgain, it’s countering the <\/p>\n
407
\n00:21:08,440 –> 00:21:10,800
\nemotions with what you know to
\nbe true. <\/p>\n
408
\n00:21:11,320 –> 00:21:13,440
\nDon’t just ignore the emotions.
\nThat’s that’s not the right <\/p>\n
409
\n00:21:13,440 –> 00:21:15,240
\nanswer.
\nBut we need to compare the <\/p>\n
410
\n00:21:15,240 –> 00:21:18,400
\nemotions with what we know to be
\ntrue, with our actual beliefs, <\/p>\n
411
\n00:21:18,600 –> 00:21:22,040
\nand then try our best to act on
\nour beliefs, what we know to be <\/p>\n
412
\n00:21:22,040 –> 00:21:24,520
\ntrue, even if we aren’t
\nemotionally there yet. <\/p>\n
413
\n00:21:27,360 –> 00:21:30,160
\nThis really the way we see how I
\nwas mentioned earlier. <\/p>\n
414
\n00:21:30,160 –> 00:21:34,080
\nThis gets easier, for Jesus is
\nreally going back to the cross, <\/p>\n
415
\n00:21:34,080 –> 00:21:35,840
\nnot so much in the Psalms, but
\nin the cross. <\/p>\n
416
\n00:21:36,360 –> 00:21:39,920
\nSee, Jesus says, my God, my God,
\nwhy hast thou forsaken me? <\/p>\n
417
\n00:21:40,440 –> 00:21:43,200
\nAnd then if you were to compare,
\nkind of try to put the timeline <\/p>\n
418
\n00:21:43,200 –> 00:21:45,240
\ntogether of what goes on the
\ncross. <\/p>\n
419
\n00:21:45,800 –> 00:21:49,240
\nThe next thing Jesus says is in
\nLuke 23, verse 46. <\/p>\n
420
\n00:21:50,560 –> 00:21:53,920
\nFather, into your hands, I
\ncommit my spirit. <\/p>\n
421
\n00:21:54,840 –> 00:21:57,120
\nAnd having said this, he
\nbreathed his lass. <\/p>\n
422
\n00:21:58,280 –> 00:22:01,040
\nThat’s that last cry out in the
\nMatthew reading that we had, <\/p>\n
423
\n00:22:01,440 –> 00:22:03,560
\nthat, that he cried out and gave
\nup his spirit. <\/p>\n
424
\n00:22:03,720 –> 00:22:06,440
\nThat cry is father into your
\nhands. <\/p>\n
425
\n00:22:06,440 –> 00:22:10,320
\nI commit my spirit.
\nAnd that’s a quote from Psalm 31<\/p>\n
426
\n00:22:10,320 –> 00:22:13,320
\nthat we read yesterday.
\nAnd I just want to read those 5 <\/p>\n
427
\n00:22:13,320 –> 00:22:16,560
\nverses in Psalm 31 so that we
\nget an idea of what is Jesus <\/p>\n
428
\n00:22:16,560 –> 00:22:19,280
\nthinking next?
\nHis first thought was Psalm 22, <\/p>\n
429
\n00:22:19,520 –> 00:22:22,960
\nthis battle of emotion and his
\nhis belief and what he knows to <\/p>\n
430
\n00:22:22,960 –> 00:22:24,600
\nbe true.
\nWhat he’s currently feeling, <\/p>\n
431
\n00:22:24,600 –> 00:22:27,520
\nwhat he’s believing internally
\nwith versus what he believes on <\/p>\n
432
\n00:22:27,520 –> 00:22:31,040
\na on a grander scale, what he
\nbelieves to be true on on almost<\/p>\n
433
\n00:22:31,040 –> 00:22:34,560
\na logical level.
\nAnd his next step, his next <\/p>\n
434
\n00:22:34,560 –> 00:22:38,000
\nthing he says, is from Psalm 31.
\nStarting in verse one, we’ll <\/p>\n
435
\n00:22:38,000 –> 00:22:43,040
\nread the 1st 5 verses in you, O
\nYahweh, do I take refuge? <\/p>\n
436
\n00:22:43,400 –> 00:22:45,760
\nLet me never be put to shame in
\nyour righteousness. <\/p>\n
437
\n00:22:45,920 –> 00:22:49,680
\nDeliver me, incline your ear to
\nme, rescue you, Me speedily. <\/p>\n
438
\n00:22:49,840 –> 00:22:53,640
\nBe a rock of refuge for me, a
\nstrong fortress to save me. <\/p>\n
439
\n00:22:53,880 –> 00:22:56,040
\nFor you are my rock and my
\nfortress. <\/p>\n
440
\n00:22:56,320 –> 00:22:58,400
\nAnd for my name’s sake you lead
\nme. <\/p>\n
441
\n00:22:58,760 –> 00:23:01,320
\nSorry for your name’s sake.
\nYou lead me and guide me. <\/p>\n
442
\n00:23:01,680 –> 00:23:04,080
\nYou Take Me Out of the net so
\nthat they have hidden for me. <\/p>\n
443
\n00:23:04,240 –> 00:23:07,640
\nFor you are my refuge.
\nInto your hand I commit my <\/p>\n
444
\n00:23:07,640 –> 00:23:10,160
\nspirit.
\nYou have redeemed me, O Yahweh, <\/p>\n
445
\n00:23:10,440 –> 00:23:13,880
\nfaithful God.
\nStep one. <\/p>\n
446
\n00:23:14,480 –> 00:23:17,360
\nMy God, my God, Why hast thou
\never stake in me? <\/p>\n
447
\n00:23:18,400 –> 00:23:21,960
\nStep 4.
\nInto thy hand I commit my <\/p>\n
448
\n00:23:21,960 –> 00:23:25,480
\nspirit.
\nThat’s how quick it was for <\/p>\n
449
\n00:23:25,480 –> 00:23:26,400
\nJesus.
\nOn the cross. <\/p>\n
450
\n00:23:27,160 –> 00:23:31,800
\nIt was 2 sentences, the whole
\nprocess, and it gets easier as <\/p>\n
451
\n00:23:31,840 –> 00:23:35,120
\nwe do it more and more.
\nIt started off in garden, the <\/p>\n
452
\n00:23:35,120 –> 00:23:36,120
\ngarden.
\nIt really started off well <\/p>\n
453
\n00:23:36,120 –> 00:23:37,800
\nbefore that.
\nBut in our first story in the <\/p>\n
454
\n00:23:37,800 –> 00:23:40,520
\ngarden, it’s a three separate
\nprayers. <\/p>\n
455
\n00:23:40,640 –> 00:23:42,720
\nIt’s a walk to the disciples
\nwhere they’re at, being <\/p>\n
456
\n00:23:42,720 –> 00:23:44,840
\nsurprised, they’re sleeping,
\ngoing back, having the prayer <\/p>\n
457
\n00:23:44,840 –> 00:23:46,600
\nagain.
\nHave to go through the process <\/p>\n
458
\n00:23:46,600 –> 00:23:48,800
\nagain.
\nTalk to my father again, agree <\/p>\n
459
\n00:23:48,800 –> 00:23:51,000
\nto go with his will again, go
\nback to my disciples. <\/p>\n
460
\n00:23:51,000 –> 00:23:53,960
\nThey’re still sleeping.
\nI can go back, pray again, same <\/p>\n
461
\n00:23:53,960 –> 00:23:56,360
\nconversation.
\nDo the process again until I’m <\/p>\n
462
\n00:23:56,360 –> 00:23:57,880
\nat the point where I can say
\nyes. <\/p>\n
463
\n00:23:58,040 –> 00:24:01,320
\nFather, your will be done.
\nI will go with your will, even <\/p>\n
464
\n00:24:01,320 –> 00:24:02,560
\nthough I don’t feel it right
\nnow. <\/p>\n
465
\n00:24:03,600 –> 00:24:05,720
\nAnd on the cross, because he has
\ngone through that process <\/p>\n
466
\n00:24:05,720 –> 00:24:07,080
\nalready.
\nHe’s thought through these <\/p>\n
467
\n00:24:07,080 –> 00:24:09,400
\nthoughts on the cross.
\nTwo sentences. <\/p>\n
468
\n00:24:10,280 –> 00:24:14,360
\nMy God, My God, why have you
\nforsaken me into your hands? <\/p>\n
469
\n00:24:14,600 –> 00:24:18,400
\nI commit my spirit and we can do
\nthe same, Brothers and sisters. <\/p>\n
470
\n00:24:18,960 –> 00:24:21,960
\nAt first, the battle of Anxiety
\nwill be hard. <\/p>\n
471
\n00:24:22,480 –> 00:24:25,920
\nIt will take going back and
\nforth in conversations. <\/p>\n
472
\n00:24:26,120 –> 00:24:28,760
\nIt will take having the
\nrepetitive conversation. <\/p>\n
473
\n00:24:28,920 –> 00:24:30,880
\nJesus has the same prayer three
\ntimes. <\/p>\n
474
\n00:24:31,040 –> 00:24:33,840
\nWe will have the same prayer or
\nconversation with ourselves <\/p>\n
475
\n00:24:34,080 –> 00:24:38,000
\nmultiple times.
\nBut just as it got easier for <\/p>\n
476
\n00:24:38,000 –> 00:24:43,360
\nJesus, it gets easier for us.
\nAnd ultimately the battle will <\/p>\n
477
\n00:24:43,360 –> 00:24:47,120
\nend when Christ returns.
\nBut at that point, no matter <\/p>\n
478
\n00:24:47,120 –> 00:24:49,680
\nwhere we are in the process of
\nanxiety, no matter where we are <\/p>\n
479
\n00:24:49,680 –> 00:24:52,640
\nin the process of dealing with
\nthis temptation, at that point <\/p>\n
480
\n00:24:53,440 –> 00:24:57,560
\nthe battle’s over, because
\nanxieties we put away, <\/p>\n
481
\n00:24:58,560 –> 00:25:02,280
\ntemptations we put away.
\nThis battle will end because we <\/p>\n
482
\n00:25:02,280 –> 00:25:07,480
\nwill be made perfect.
\nHe will wipe away every tear <\/p>\n
483
\n00:25:07,640 –> 00:25:10,320
\nfrom their eyes, and death shall
\nbe no more. <\/p>\n
484
\n00:25:11,040 –> 00:25:15,520
\nNeither shall there be mourning,
\nnor crying, nor pain or the <\/p>\n
485
\n00:25:15,520 –> 00:25:20,880
\nformer things have passed away.
\nSo now as we move for this time <\/p>\n
486
\n00:25:21,320 –> 00:25:25,160
\nof meditation, of self
\nreflection, let’s think about <\/p>\n
487
\n00:25:26,080 –> 00:25:27,880
\nhow can we take on the spirit of
\nour Lord. <\/p>\n
488
\n00:25:28,640 –> 00:25:32,560
\nHow can we look at the face of
\nanxiety, of extreme temptation <\/p>\n
489
\n00:25:32,560 –> 00:25:36,800
\nand emotion, and say not my will
\nwould thine be done?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
